The country star embraces homemade beauty remedies alongside rustic ranch life.
Country music icon and former The Voice coach Blake Shelton is known for his laid-back personality, rustic lifestyle, and humor—but fans may be surprised to learn the unconventional secret behind his hair care routine.
In a throwback interview with CMT, Shelton revealed a homegrown hair health remedy that’s as unconventional as it is inexpensive: a mixture of eggs and ketchup. “I am raising chickens now, and I have started going out to the barn, or when I am out on the road, I will go buy some eggs, and I use an egg mixture with ketchup, believe it or not,” Shelton said, noting that he applies the blend to his hair once a week.
Though Shelton didn’t offer scientific reasoning for his DIY treatment, hair experts suggest that eggs, particularly the yolk, are rich in nutrients that may support damaged hair and promote strength and shine. Ketchup, meanwhile, has been rumored to act as a hair toner, occasionally used to neutralize greenish tones from chlorine exposure. While these at-home remedies remain largely anecdotal, they have become part of Shelton’s own quirky hair care steps.
Shelton’s low-maintenance grooming doesn’t stop at homemade shampoo. During an April 2020 virtual appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the country star enlisted wife Gwen Stefani to trim his hair live on air. Fallon encouraged the couple to bring back Shelton’s signature mullet—a style he once famously sported.
As Stefani buzzed the sides of his head, Shelton joked with Fallon and even had her shave the initials “J” and “F” into the sides in honor of the host. “I’m literally putting your initials on my head right now, Jimmy, I’m not kidding,” he laughed.
From pulling trees off roads with his truck to crafting simple, homemade hair treatments, Shelton’s lifestyle remains rooted in down-to-earth habits. Whether it’s his “Blake-A-Rita” cocktail served at his Ole Red bar or his rustic beauty regimen, the Oklahoma native proves that a simple approach can still deliver star-worthy results.
For those curious to try Shelton’s method, experts advise doing your research and using caution. While there are benefits to natural ingredients, consulting trusted hair care tips or a professional stylist can ensure your routine supports long-term hair health advice.
