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.
