While rinsing out the egg mask, my hair was left with a kind of slick, rubbery feeling, rather than the soft moisturized feeling I’m more accustomed to. I think this may have more to do with the oil than the egg. After rinsing, my hair had a more squeaky clean feeling, likely due to having to rinse it so thoroughly. (With a normal deep conditioner, I don’t usually bother rinsing it all out.)
With my hair still damp, I applied shea butter to my hair and gave myself a trim. While I pieced through my hair, it was definitely super soft. It also seemed stronger and healthier, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part. 😄 I don’t do a lot of protein treatments, but I’m very impressed with the results and I might try to work them into my routine more regularly.
Full disclosure: I did cook the egg a little 😅 I found a few white strings of egg while trimming.
