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.

I just decided I'm gonna go natural after being relaxed for 15 years. I really don't want to big chop and am ok with transitioning slowly. I'm not very comfortable with short hair. Nothing is wrong with my hair now, its pretty healthy for relaxed hair. I just want a change. I would like some tips on anyone who has done it this way. Anyone who may be 4A or 4B. For the most part, I remember what my natural hair looks like, and I'm thinking I will fall in one of those categories.
