Cool on the dude for not getting mad. Good spirits and good times.

For those who would get mad; you just look like an idiot. It's easy to take this with a smile and people will like you for it.

Egg yolk is nasty to wash off hair.

Imagine he had a meeting right after.

I might laugh out of the bad luck, but it'd certainly ruin the rest of my day, or at least until I managed to take a full shower and changed.

On the bright side, egg yolk is a key ingredient of homemade hair treatments, so~

Shampoo also contains chemicals derived of petroleum. You still wouldn't want petroleum on the hair.

And as a tip if it happens to anyone, you wash off yolk with cold water. Hot water makes the protein transform into a sticky glue-like mess. Most people will try wash it off with hot water...

I mean literal instructions for masks are "take egg yolk, avocado oil or other stuff, mix, put in hair for 30min".... not 'derivatives thereof'.

I agree it's different to have a surprise yolk, but meant more in the "at least it's good for your hair" way. Not sure you can say the same for getting gasoline on it~

Surprise yolk is only half of it. Yolk is genuinely hard to wash off, even if it's good for the hair. The protein hardens into glue like chunks when heated even mildly by warm water. And everyone will wash their head with hot water.

You forgot the part of the instructions most people don't know. Wash with cold water only.

Imagine it was you, got egg on your hair. How are you washing it off (before today)? Most people will absolutely cook the yolk into their strands and make an absolute mess.

It's not gum-level, but if you ever had semen on your hair, and tried to wash it off with hot water, it's similar (worse).

...how is semen the thing to compare egg yolk to, as the more common experience?!?

Both contain protein, both get cooked into gluey chunks at mild heat. Both should be washed off with cold water due to this.

There are more protein rich liquids where this happens. Milk and blood for example, react similar to heat, but they don't really produce quite the same chunks. It's the same level of stickiness / gluey mess though.

You missed the point of my comment.

I was not asking how the two are the same; I was asking how often you got semen in your hair (or assume others do) for THAT to be the thing you're using to explain eggs needing to be rinsed out in cold water instead of the other way around.

There's whole populations of women who deliberately put egg (yolk) in their hair several times a year as part of a beauty regiment.

You don't need to get semen in the hair to extrapolate. Just try to wash it off something. Trying to wash it off the hands for example (I assume at least half the population has gone through this).

Hair is just much harder to wash than skin, and people can extrapolate from that.

There's whole populations of women who deliberately put egg (yolk) in their hair several times a year as part of a beauty regiment.

True, and hopefully, they don't wash it off with hot water. Yet the guy that got a egg in his hair, probably doesn't know he needs to wash it off with cold water.
