Answer 1

In the Victorian days they washed the hair with egg yolk. Since its protein it strengthens the hair.

Concerning straightening hair, my hair is culry/wavy/frizzy so I use Proclaim Glossing Polish with aloe, you can get it at Sally's. It's been great! It keeps my hair really straight, frizz free and very smooth for the whole day! Just apply a dime size (depending on how thick your hair is) in your hair, being careful not to get the roots because it will make your hair look greasy. Its about $5+, but it lasts a long time and its well worth it to get rid of the frizz!

Answer 2

Eggs have protein, so this is often used as a protein treatment. However you have to be very care-full as too much protein can cause brittleness and breakage. You can tell if you need protein in your hair if your hair is gummy when wet or stretchy when combing or brushing.
As far as straightening products, one of my favorites are so sleek by matrix. It is a line meant to be used in succession with each other. Starting with Shampoo and ending with finishing styling products. Most professional products are set up this way, as to help prevent breakage or dryness. You should never just use one product especially when straightening hair, because of the amount of heat that the hair takes during this process, the products are absorbed much more quickly. However more is not always better, because you then get the gunky build up. It takes practice and balance.
Good luck and have a nice hair day.

Dont go out and buy anything expensive.
First: Purchase a mild Shampoo (To Clarify hair, I will explain why)

Second: TRIM your hair ends (May 1 1/2 to 2 inches)

Third: Here's the magic part: Mix olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and a "little" honey, (honey u will have to heat so it can blend). Either leave on ALL day or all night (if all nite, DONT use honey)

Repeat this 3-4 times a week, your hair will grow like a weed & remove all frizz I promise,..... and it will be super shiny!!!!


The clairifying shampoo will help take the oil off your hair when u shower



You can find olive oil anywere, but the other oils you will have to buy at a local organics store, wholes foods or BJ's health corner.
