Yes, you can apply egg to dirty hair. Multiple sources confirm this. While some methods suggest applying egg to clean, damp hair for optimal results, applying an egg mixture to unwashed hair is also possible.
Applying Egg to Unwashed Hair: Considerations
- Even Distribution: Sectioning your hair is crucial for ensuring the egg mixture is evenly distributed across your scalp and hair. This applies whether you're using the whole egg, yolk, or white. [Source: Traya, Happy Hair Guide]
- Hair Type: The best approach (using whole egg, yolk, or white) may vary depending on your hair type. For example, if you have oily hair, egg white might be a better choice than the yolk. [Source: Happy Hair Guide]
- Cleaning Afterward: Remember that you will need to thoroughly rinse and wash your hair after applying the egg to remove any residue. [Source: Quora, Reddit]
Practical Application
Regardless of whether you apply the egg to clean or dirty hair, the application process remains similar:
- Section your hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections.
- Apply evenly: Use your fingertips or a brush to apply the egg mixture, starting from the roots and working your way down to the tips.
- Thorough rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water to avoid cooking the egg in your hair. Follow up with your usual shampoo and conditioner.
