Egg Wash Buildup

[SarahBeth]

Does anyone know if washing hair with eggs causes buildup over time? Thanks

I can't say for sure, but it seems like it could definitely cause some protein buildup after a while.

What is protein buildup exactly? Do you have to clarify to get rid of it?

I agree that it would be protein buildup.

Protein fills in the ridges and pits in the hairs surface and coats the hair. If protein is used regularly (some shampoos, conditioners, treatments, coconut milk, egg and leave-ins may contain protein, it will build up over existing protein, and eventually your hair will feel dry and crunchy. Clarifying will clear the build up. Follow protein treatments with a deep moisturising one.

I do this once a month:
Clarify-> protein-> deep moisture.
