I'm not sure how well either works, I used mayo years ago - but didn't like the smell...
Here's a technique you might find helpful...

I did this Friday. I used mayo, Evoo, and i added some honey to mine and let it sit for an hour and a half. And then i did a co-wash followed by a dc. my hair felt so thick and soft and its so bouncy. I'm definitely trying it again.
As far as doing it every week, i don't know. I read somewhere that you can have too much protein and too much isn't good for you. But i would try at least twice a month first.

Are you saying you mixed the three together twice a week or mixed one of the two with oil?....so neither one is considered a HARD protein treatment?

I did an egg/cholesterol treatment every two weeks for about two months. It was okay, but I did not feel any remarkable change. 
It was just cold and runny.

I recall Anky uses egg/mayo/evoo weekly as a pre-poo. She's got beautiful, healthy looking hair.
ETA: Yes, she does, I looked her up. Her fotki is public, no pwd.

When I tried this method, it made my hair hard as a rock and it was hard to get out. How long do you leave it in? I only left mine in for a few minutes and it was difficult to wash out.

You should NOT get under a dryer with egg/mayo, like you would do a DC. Don't even rinse your hair out with warm water. The egg can fry in your hair. Been there...done that.

the egg whites are all that is necessary. but i just use all of it... 4 eggs and a cup of mayo. you can add olive oil for extra moisture. after rinsing i deep condition with a V05 conditioner... they smell nice and take any mayo-egg scent out of your hair.
i did them once a month at first, now i'm up to once a week. i LOVE em!

mcelweewife from BHM does them weekly I believe.
I've done them weekly, they work just as god as aphogee protein treatments imo.
If you put it on your hair, and let it dry---it will be just like the aphogee hard treatment
If you leave it on for 30min-2hrs with a plastic cap----like a regular protien treatment
My hair is alittle protein sensative though, so it kind of makes my hair feel like a light henna treatment had been done, and it also makes egg peices in your hair if you forget to rinse on cold, or deepconditon with heat like i sometimes do (forgetfull) With my hair, i would use 1x every 2 weeks, but if your not protein sensative, i think it would be straight.

thanks for sharing ladylibra...I will use only the egg whites in my treatment next month and report back.
