Protein Treatments such as at-home remedies can consist of one egg and mayonaise left on the hair for about 1 hour under a plastic cap or Mendex, a constructing treatment used by beauty schools for years. Mendex can be found at most beauty supply stores. Another option is a "Hot Protein Pak" also found in all beauty stores.
