Did You Know Janhvi Kapoor Once Used Egg Whites As Hair Mask Which Turned Out Disastrous? 3 Tips To Avoid This Mishap

In a recent viral video, Ulajh actor Janhvi Kapoor shared a beauty blunder that left many viewers in stitches and a bit wiser about DIY haircare. Known for her candidness and willingness to experiment with natural beauty treatments, Janhvi revealed that she often raids her fridge ingredients to use for skincare and haircare solutions. One such creation was a hair mask made with egg whites, which are celebrated for their high protein content and potential benefits for strengthening hair. However, things took an unexpected turn when Janhvi took a hot shower with the egg white mask still in her hair, resulting in the egg whites cooking right in her hair strands.

While Janhvi’s mishap provided some light-hearted entertainment, it also serves as a cautionary tale for anyone looking to explore the world of DIY hair masks. Here are three crucial tips to ensure you don’t end up with a similar hair disaster:

1) Avoid Hot Water

The primary lesson from Janhvi’s experience is to steer clear of hot water when rinsing out an egg-based hair mask. Egg whites are highly sensitive to temperature and can cook at relatively low heat. When using an egg white mask, always rinse your hair with cool or lukewarm water. This will prevent the egg from solidifying in your hair, making it much easier to wash out and avoid an unsavoury scramble on your scalp.

2) Dealing with the Smell

The distinct smell of egg whites can linger in your hair after rinsing. To avoid this, add a few drops of essential oils like lavender, rosemary, or peppermint to your hair mask. These oils not only mask the odor but also provide additional benefits for your hair. Alternatively, you can rinse your hair with a diluted vinegar solution (one part vinegar to two parts water) or lemon juice after washing out the mask. These natural solutions help neutralize the smell and leave your hair smelling fresh.

Alternative Hair Masks

If the idea of using egg whites in your hair mask is now less appealing, consider these effective and mess-free alternatives:

a) Avocado and Olive Oil Mask

Avocado is rich in vitamins and fatty acids that nourish and moisturize hair. Mash one ripe avocado and mix it with two tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the mixture to your hair and leave it on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing with cool or lukewarm water. This mask helps to restore moisture and shine.

b) Banana and Honey Mask

Bananas are great for hair as they contain potassium, natural oils, and vitamins that soften and protect hair from damage. Blend one ripe banana with a tablespoon of honey until smooth. Apply it to your hair and scalp, leave it on for 20-30 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water. This mask can help with dryness and frizz.

So which DIY hair mask are you going to try?
