If you like to mix up weird experiments from the stuff in your fridge, here are two ideas that will put your goop to good use. Not only are these fun experiments in kitchen science, but they are much better for the environment than store-bought shampoos and conditioners which might not be biodegradable. Substances that are not biodegradable pollute the water after they go down the drain.

Egg Shampoo

• 1 Egg
• 1 Tsp. Olive Oil
• 1 Tsp. Lemon Juice
• 1 Tbsp. Castille Soap (you can buy this at a health-food store)
• 1/2 Cup of Water or Herbal Tea
• 1 Drop of Essential Oil (to make your shampoo smell good)
• A blender

1. Get your ingredients together, and measure them carefully into a blender.
2. Whip ingredients in blender until smooth.
3. When applying to hair, use warm, not hot, water on your hair. Massage in hair and rinse.
4. It stays good in the fridge for 1 day after you make it.

Protein Conditioner

This one is good to use when you are sitting in the bathtub.

• 1 Egg
• 5 Tbsp. Plain Yogurt

1. Beat the egg until it’s foamy.
2. Add the egg to the yogurt and mix well.
3. After shampooing hair, apply this mixture to small sections of hair at a time.
4. Leave in for 15 minutes and then rinse out.
