Egg review:

O_O. You guys. The egg stopped my breakage with a big red "Nope.jpg" sign.

I have had huge breakage problems all of my journey, even using loads of products that are supposed to help. They usually help some, but I'd never gotten down to the sort of breakage most of the people I follow talk about until now.
I broke four hairs this morning. Four. That's unheard of for me. Usually, that means I was running my fingers through my hair at some point in the day [usually the morning to clump or seperate curls], and four hairs broke off just from touching it. No. I parted my hair in two sections to flat twist it. I combed one half, lost two hairs, combed the other, lost two.
I probably should have tried the ApHogee Two Step, because it's an extremely hard protein, but I assumed that since I do normal protein treatments every few weeks, and/or the ORS Mayo monthly, it wouldn't help. This egg is exactly what I needed. I'll have to see how frequently / infrequently I need to do these treatments, because I've seriously not had such strong hair before without a good salon visit.
The weirdest thing is that it doesn't feel different. Normally, my hair feels different after a protein treatment, it feels stronger / fuller or something, but with the Nutiva coconut oil and other things I'd been using, I was already getting that feeling. That's another reason I thought protein wouldn't work, but other than that the only thing I did was accidentally leave a little of the black tea + apple cider vinegar in my conditioner, and it wasn't very much of that anyway. So, with all other options out of the way, it has to be the egg.
So, can egg protein penetrate hair strands? Well, I have hair that takes forever to absorb things but loses them quickly, we'll say high porosity, fine/medium [I'm beginning to think my hair is medium thickness because it doesn't do the things most thin hair can do] thickness, but densely growing, transitioning hair, and the egg protein got in. That is not to say that your hair will react the same, but maybe if it has the same qualities as mine it will.
Sealing Level Up!?
My hair is also much shinier, and it still looks very moisturized today even though it's been 24 hours since that drying fiasco. [My hair used to look insanely dry whenever I air dried. Then I started setting and it got a bit better, then I started  using CF and it got a lot better, but still the max I could get was 24 hour moisture locks.] That, however, could be do to the fact that I've realized how much my hair likes oils when it is wet and started to use oil and shea butter to seal instead of conditioner. So it's either the protein is holding onto the moisture, the fact that I've been cowashing only since a week and a half ago, or the water / oil / butter LOC keeping the moisture in. It's probably a combination, but either way it's awesome.
