Always rinse the egg mask out with cool water to avoid cooking the egg in your strands, then shampoo. Recommended use is once a month if needed.

Yogurt can help reverse hair damage caused by product build up and air pollution. The lactic acid in yogurt gently strips away dirt while the milk fat moisturizes.
