So I know that Megatek may be a tad extreme for some you...so here are some DIY protein treatments that you can do at home.
Simple Protein Treatment
1-2 Eggs (Depending on the length of your hair)
Olive Oil or Coconut oil
Thoroughly beat your egg(s). Then add the oil of your choice. The mixture will be a bit runny. You can add conditioner to make your treatment more creamy. After mixing, apply generously to your hair. Make sure that all of your hair is coated from root to end. Allow to sit for 30 -45 minutes. DO NOT place a shower cap on your head or add heat. You want the mixture to sort of harden on your head. Rinse out after 30 minutes-45 minutes. with lukewarm water (NOT hot). After rinsing out the protein treatment, deep conditioning is essential. Protein without moisture will cause your hair to break.
Simple Protein Treatment
1 Egg White
5 tbs Plain Natural Yogurt
Beat egg white until frothy. Add Yogurt to the mix. Apply to hair from root to end. Leave it in hair for 15-20 minutes. Once again, don't use heat on your hair. Your body heat will suffice. Rinse out with lukewarm water. Do a deep conditioner after the protein treatment
Protein Note
Eggs are a great way to get protein into your hair. Just note that you many want to start with the first recipe. The entire egg is a less intense protein treatment because the yolk contains fat. This fat is more moisturizing than the egg white, which is pure protein.
