I have really fine hair and have been using a mayo and egg mask very two weeks. That and using a some hair oil from CulturedTresses has really thickened my hair. Is every two weeks too much protein?

I think protein is supposed to be once a month.

Yeah I heard that too but I decided to get a lace front, and when I took it out my edges left too. Lol; My edges have literally grown back in 1 month. It’s crazy.

Not if your hair is ok. Not all protein treatments are the same intensity and penetration. Egg and Mayo will be very light compared to a protein conditioner so sounds like it's just enough.

Hey fellow Floridian 👋🏾

I've never done protein treatments myself. I like to use shampoos and conditioners with protein in them. But I say, let your hair tell you what it needs. If you're not experiencing breakage, why change anything?

Hey Girl 👋🏽

Do you know what your hair porosity type is? That could dictate how often you need protein treatment.

I have low porosity hair so I use protein free hair products but will do a protein treatment once a month

Linked the wrong article. Just updated it

I alternate between steam treatments and protein treatments each week, so no more than 2 proteins/month. My hair is extremely thick so it can handle it, but my stylist does warn about overdoing it. Perhaps find another type of treatment to do in between.

So
- I didn't get selected in the H1B lottery.
- My company has agreed to send me to their London office for a year (haven't yet filed application).
- OPT ends in late June, so I can stay till mid-late August (grace period).

Question:
Should I just move to London as soon as I'm able to, or is it worth waiting until the end of my OPT in August in case they do a second round of the H1B lottery?

Okay so! I’m a guy and I have curly hair - I interchange between two products or sometimes I do a combo of them.

I try to retrace my steps on the days it looks good but it really does seem to be at random...could it be how I’m drying my hair? Lmk
