Семечки фенхеля победили яйца в борьбе за эффект «стеклянных волос»

Glass hair is mainly a glossy texture with no flyaways or frizzy strands that glisten in the light. Although obtaining a shiny finish requires a combination of conditioning, styling, and heat protection, a few readily available ingredients in your own kitchen can do the trick for achieving shiny hair temporarily. Some of the most common ingredients for this DIY technique are fenugreek seeds and eggs. So, let’s see which of the two is better for your hair strands. 2 / 6 Fenugreek seed hair mask Fenugreek seeds are high in phytochemicals, which have been used since ancient times to treat hair problems. Soaking the seeds overnight results in a gelatinous mass, which makes them suitable for homemade hair treatment. The claims that have been virally circulated definitely need to be put back in perspective. The mucilage present in fenugreek gives the soaked and crushed seeds their unique slimy properties. This is one of the reasons why products containing fenugreek make hair feel smooth, coated, and easy to handle after washing. If the cuticle is relatively smooth, light reflects more evenly from the hair surface, contributing to enhanced shine.

However, there’s a big difference between consuming eggs and putting raw eggs onto your hair. As hair is composed predominantly of protein, studies have shown that when proteins and amino acids are used appropriately in formulation during manufacturing, they sustain hair’s strength, hyper-hydrophobic nature, and amelioration. Yet, this does not imply that applying a raw egg mask will help repair damaged hair. ​ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9921463 ​ (Image Credits: Pinterest) 4 / 6 Egg hair mask recipe You will require 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of natural yoghurt, and 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel. Now, start by beating the ingredients together until smooth, and apply it to wet hair, mainly on the mid-part and ends. Let the mixture remain for 15-20 minutes, and then wash it out properly using cool/warm water. Shampoo your hair, then use conditioner. Also, avoid hot water, as no one wants to eat eggs with hair on. (Image Credits: Pinterest) 5 / 6 The final verdict is here! The winner for the glass-hair effect has to be fenugreek. If you want shiny, silky, and soft hair, fenugreek is one of the better choices for your DIY treatments because it acts mainly as a conditioner. However, if your hair feels fragile, damaged, or in the process of breaking, a good fortified store-bought protein treatment or hair mask will probably work more efficiently than an egg.
