^^^Yeah, in order to keep costs low for Niko's cousins, we may have to pm each other the info...I noticed the amount of views on this thread went through the roof in about a week --- and we have, what? ---- 150 posts? That's alotta lurkin goin' on - that's how Megatek prices went from $19 to $30 overnight two years ago...

With that in mind,

Let's share the info in PM Land with the OCT/MegaTek MegaGrowth Challenge Sistas, what say you?
 
Okay ladies here are my pics:
the first is before I was forced to bc- not a length shot, the second was right after I lost my hair, and the 3rd is where i'm currently at- NL stretched it looks like (I'm kicking myself because I should've taken length shots or, at least, lol MORE shots but I did manage to find one that showed texture!- attached below!):

Ok i'm in as well. I'm using Megatek. I mixed 4 ozs of jamaican black castor oil with 4ozs of Megatek. I have twists now so i'm not sure of a regimen. I plan to clean my scalp at least once a week and use some sort of braid spray. I dont think it will last long enough for me to wash it. I can figure out how to make my starting pic smaller lol.

I have a bottle of MegaTek which I bought nearly 2 years ago (around the time I first joined LHCF) do you think it'll still be OK to use or would I be better buing a new bottle?

Look at your pretty little curlies! Your hair is beautiful!:yep:

I noticed another spot on my crown where my hair is broken. I'm telling you this challenge definitely came at the right time!

Good question! I just checked my bottle to see if there was an expiration date on and I couldn't find one.

Maybe one of the experts can chime in on this one.
 
I received my MT yesterday! I'm going to be starting to use it next week though every other day.

I'm really at a loss of what I should now do in regards to protein for my hair though. Megatek will only go on my scalp....not my strands, so part of me wants to continue to at least do a light protein pre-poo every week but I don't want to chance protein overload. I guess I'll have to play it by ear, sometimes I hate introducing new things to my reggie cause it throws me off so much :ohwell:.

For the ladies here that have used MT before, what did you do regards to this? Protein conditioners/treatments/reconstructors for your hair.

Hmmm...have you used the grapeseed oil before? I have some in my cabinet downstairs. I may need to break open that bottle and put it to use!

(I'm also a seasonings/oils junkie...:look:)
Click to expand...

I'm sorry, I missed this question!

I have used Grapeseed oil before; it use to be the oil I used to seal in the summer/spring because it's very light. I think it might be good to use on the scalp for that reason, so that's what I think I'll be doing starting next week. I'll report back to let everyone know if it was a success or failure of an idea :laugh:

:wallbash: I am trying to recover from impulse buying (clothing/jewelry and FOOD included)...horseloverz is not making it easy...i mean hopesbraids wasn't either but now horseloverz has pretty much ruined my chances of recovery...

I'm in....*raises hand shyly with head down* smh. I may buy 2 bottles (can't beat $22.80 AND free shipping)...and I though I was so slick last year only paying $26...smdh

Free Shipping? Where?
 
Count me in! This will be my first challenge as a newbie :drunk: and I got my MegaTek on Tuesday so this came RIGHT on time :grin: !! I haven't got the OVT cause I just have soooo many products right now and I haven't dedicated the time to see if they work.

... so I'm gonna combine the MegaTek with some JBCO (50/50) and apply that atleast 3x weekly day&night .. Co-wash with Keracare humecto // Mane n Tail deep conditioner everyday or everyother.. and sealing with coconut oil.. also i'm gonna experiment with ACV & Nettle tea rinse somewhere :lachen:

Oh! and a DC?! Not sure on a remedy for this yet..:ohwell: guess im gonna have to do some thread hoppin for some ideas or if any of y'all can recommend whats good for 4a/b hair??

Woooo! :spinning: i'm just so excited!! :pepper:
 
Ms_CoCo37 Where are you? :look: I decided to that I'm going to use it every other day so I wont overload on the protein that I keep hearing about. On the days that I don't use it, I will still use MN and and herbal oil

I'm here! I'm here! :grin: I've been out of pocket for the past four days, but I'm back!:grin:
 
Ms_CoCo37 said:
Gurl, you guys are keeping me on my toes too! :grin:

I'm starting to get excited! We have six more days before we officially start.:yep:

I think I messed up, i did an install and can't fit the applicator bottle thru the back of the braids/wefts:ohwell: so I don't know how I'm gonna reach the back.

Well, we do have 6 days, maybe it will loosen up enough for you to use the applicator. Girl, where there's a will there's a way!:grin:
 
I went to the Dominican salon this past Thursday. I'm going to enjoy my loose and flowing locks before I start putting the OCT on "officially".:yep:
 
So the PJ in me decided to get some JBCO to mix with my MT. I just now placed the order on amazon (along with other things :look:) and now my wallet hurts. :nono: I've currently been using extra virgin coconut oil. I've read through this entire thread, but my memory sucks and I can't remember if we had some challengers who uses this mix. Anybody out there wanna give me a heads up on JBCO+MT? I've heard really good things about this.
 
Okay I am back to post my starting pic. My starting point is in my avatar. This pic was taken on 7/25/2010. I have a longgggg way to go but I am patient. :)
I have both products and now i think i will alternate the two. I have not used either product consistenly in a long time so this is practically a new start for me.
Good luck to you all!
 
Has anyone experienced flaking scalp due to MT? I noticed this the other day, almost as if it had dried on my scalp and was peeling off. I don't know if its because I'm using too much, although I only apply it 3 times a week (after washing).
 
i can't believe i didn't see this challenge before!

i just got a new shippment of Mega Tek in lst week!

can i still join?

also, are there any fellow challengers who know if it's ok to use MT and M-T-G at the same time?

(if so, i would continue my M-T-G at night, cowash that out in the morning, then wear MT during the day, which would still be in my hair when i apply the M-T-G at night. does that seem feasible? thanks!)

Of course you can still join.:yep: The challenge doesn't start officially until Saturday.

Not sure about the other question. Perhaps some of the others can chime in.

For me I don't know about scalp flaking, but there has been a lot of product build-up. This was when I switched leave-ins, which made the build-up a whole lot worse. But now I'm back to my original leave-in, and while there is some build-up (I think this is to be expected), it is no where near what it was when I switched. Maybe it could be interactions with a certain product you're using?
 
I hate rollersetting in the summer, but I'll be doing one this Saturday with a silk wrap so I can fully stretch out my hair and take my starting pic (I get a bit of shrinkage with my texlaxed strands).
