I am a frugal naturalista on a very very tight budget (well, i will like to believe that) and hence am an advocate for D.I.Y's. This is the run down of my protein treatment. I do this once a month as well as my regular deep conditioning. I try not to skip this treatment because its very vital to the strength of my hair and length retention.
Some people are protein sensitive and so find what works best for you and stick with it. No two hairs are the same and so do not be afraid to tweak mixtures and procedures to suit yourself.
Be good to yourself

Egg Yolk
Considering the length of my hair, I used two egg yolks. |
 |
| To
thicken my mixture for easy application and for all the other benefits,
i added a deep conditioner of choice and my oils (adding the deep
conditioner is optional since the egg on its own works perfectly as a
protein treatment) |
 |
| Mixing everything together for a smooth consistency |

| Final consistency |
 |
Application
in sections. Personally i do not apply the mix to my scalp, i
concentrate on the length of the hair and especially on the ends which
happens to be the oldest part of our hair |
 |
| Application |
 |
| completed quadrants |
 |
| My
crazy DIY color. Some people use length check T-shirts to assess
growth, well i use the line of my color demarcation for that. |

| Baggy method |
 |
| Scarfing to trap the heat produced by my body to encourage deep conditioning. |
