When people begin to notice their hair shedding or thinning, they tend to seek out a variety of natural or artificial methods to slow it down. For some, this could be hair transplants or a trip to the dermatologist. But what if the solution was sitting in a carton in your fridge? Excessive hair loss often prompts people to seek immediate answers. Inadequate nutrition is a common reason for hair loss, which is probably why so many foods are promoted as surefire ways to prevent baldness.
Eggs preventing hair loss? It’s not a yolk!
According to a recent study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food and popularized by an article in Men’s Health, egg yolk was found to stimulate the growth and production of human hair cells implanted in rats.This is because egg yolk contains a compound necessary for healthy stimulation of vascular endothelial growth, a protein hair follicles need to grow. Eating eggs or applying them to the scalp may reduce hair loss and potentially prevent baldness. Some of them include:
- Protein: Your hair is made primarily of protein, so it is essential to eat enough protein to get your hair to stop shedding and grow instead. Eggs are good sources of protein that can promote hair growth and prevent baldness.
- Fatty Acids: There may be benefits if you are less interested in eating eggs and instead want to use eggs as a hair moisturizer. Fatty acids found in eggs can nourish your hair and scalp, leading to healthy hair and less likely to fall out.
- Lecithin: Egg yolks contain lecithin, an essential fat for building cell membranes. Some advocates of using eggs for hair growth believe that lecithin, either eaten or massaged onto the scalp, is one reason egg effectively prevents hair loss.
Additionally, many times people begin to experience hair thinning because of a poor diet and inadequate nutrition. Because eggs contain high amounts of protein, fatty acids, and lecithin, they are often hailed as hair loss-prevention heroes.
Rich in protein, fatty acids, and lecithin, eggs benefit hair health. If dietary restrictions prevent you from implementing more eggs into your diet, a DIY hair mask might be an alternative solution. Whisk two eggs together in a bowl and use a brush to apply the mixture directly onto your scalp. Be sure to massage it into your scalp so it gets into contact with the follicles. Adding other natural ingredients to the mask, such as olive oil, honey, lemon juice, or milk, can strengthen your strands while nourishing the follicles. Leave the mask in for about a half-hour before rinsing it out.
To make an egg mask for your hair, whisk together a couple of eggs with a fork, apply the mask to wet hair, and wash it with cold water after half an hour. You can add other ingredients to your masks, such as honey, olive oil, or yogurt. These can add moisture to your hair and scalp while strengthening your hair.
