I am losing it ... Help MegaTek

[rastapretty]

Here is an update of my nape ... I am getting a little bit discourage here. I don't know or maybe it is just me but my hair look the same as it was the first time I started using MT. I still use it at least 3 times a week.

Bump for comments

Nope, doesn't look like any progress. I would stop with the MT and just wash and deep condition and use castor oil to massage and seal after anything esle you use before you blow dry.

Rastapretty, I feel your pain. I also have breakage in the back. I don't know why?! I was looking forward to debuting my natural hair this summer, but the way it looks now, NO WAY. I mean the front looks fine, but the back looks like I have rabies or something! I finally just shaved it off in the back to start over, but it still looks horrible. I tried the MT, it didn't do anything for me. I'm now massaging castor oil in this area every other night, I hope this works. I will be following your journey!

 

[rastapretty]

Thank you Nappy ... I used to alternate between MT and Castor oil. I will be just do that. I am also thinking about giving MN a try. I am very dissappointed.

 

[rastapretty]

Kinky ... I am sorry that you are going through something similar, and I also know your frustration. As I stated in my reply to Nappy I will be using Castor oil for now on. It seems that nothing seem to accelerate my growth, I even purchased back in the day Phytospecific growth serum for some part where my hair have broken off due to highlight, but nothing happen as well.

Yea in high school I had the same problem with my hair, and i brought some Rogaine. It was just coming out at the time and I thought it was my answer, but nope, didn't work. I have had years where my hair grew fine in the back. I don't know, maybe it's stress? It's just frustrating, I have tried everything. I did read somewhere that green tea helps hair growth, so I will be steaming me some up later on this week. Keep me updated on your progress, and I'll do the same. I'll try to send you some pics later of the back. Atleast we know we are not alone.

Rasta, I'm not sure kind of results you were expecting to see in less than a month. I do understand your frustration, but I think you possibly have set your expectations a little high as to just how long it will take to regrow your nape. Have you read any of the other Megatek threads or even the post from Hairaboutit? Megatek is not a miracle growth treatment where you will see results overnight. It's going to take some time to regrow your hair....months, NOT weeks. The best thing you can do is get your regimen down and stick with it and over time I have no doubt you will see some results. Unfortunately, it takes longer to regrow hair than it does to break it or damage it. Trust me I know. Hang in there. You can do it!

 

[rastapretty]

Anilyn, you are right I was just hoping to get result as naturalmilly did, and wanted to get a full bun going this summer. do you have any suggestion on what kind of style I sould be sporting?

@Kinkyred .. no problem I will keep you posted ... cant wait to see ur result as well.

 

[anilyn]

^^^ I've been wearing wigs and half wigs, because mine is so uneven in the back that I haven't been able to find a flattering style without just cutting it all short. I want my bun too, but I don't think I'm going to have it by summer. One thing that I've found that I need to focus on in addition to growth is RETENTION. I was so focused on slapping on the Megatek, massaging my scalp, taking supplements, etc, I was neglecting the ends of my hair and pretty much spinning my wheels. erplexed Now I'm adamant about keeping my ends moisturized and protected as well and my results have been a lot better.

 

[Esq.2B]

I sure did because I wanted fast result ... so what I did today was dilute with water and olive oil ... is that a good way to do it. Now I just have to see if I will still get headache.
Thank you for the suggestion

Honestly, I'm not sure about the water. I would be afraid that it would take away from the potency of the mix. Next time, just try to use some oils in it. I wouldn't really recommend adding water to the mix. HTH

Rasta...

Get some Boundless Tresses (get the hair balm version). It worked wonders on my thin temples which had been bald since I was a child.

I will looking into that Happily .... Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah ... I was wondering if that might I have been a hindering my growth
