Does anyone have an issue with clogging of the applicator bottle?? I do, just about everytime I use it.

Not sure if the hole isn't large enough or my mixture is too thick. I wanna say maybe a mixture of both, I've been running the bottle under hot water to loosen the mixture up to go thru the hole easier, sometimes it works, sometimes no. Maybe I'll try to open up the hole and thin out the mixture....

I have had no issues with this...maybe the mixture needs to be thinned out a little more
 
I'm switching the way I use my MT back to the way I was using it in the summer. I think DC'ing overnight with MT is just the best thing for my hair. Now I have some thinning in my crown to deal with...it's been a PIA since it all fell out from postpartum shedding. MT was the only thing that worked for it....so back I go!
 
About total apply dc, baggy, and go to sleep. Rinse in the am, moisturizer and seal. Apply mix when dry.
Happy hair growing.
 
Massaged in my MT mix in tonight. Think I will stick to doing this about 3x a week. I need to figure out when I'm planning on getting a relaxer though so I can be sure to stop usage at least a week before...don't need that sulfur causing me any problems.

My Mega tek just arrived in the mail.................... & its the NEW VERSION :wallbash:

Oh well, yall let me know if you are still receiving the same results with this new verion.
 
I use my mix nightly. I have had my conrows for about 2 weeks and the back of my head is loose. I can feel the wrinkles under the braids. The top, front & sides I can wiggle. So something is definitely growing on, lol.
 
I've been using my MT mix on my from edges only, 2x/day. I dampen my hair slightly and apply the MT on top of it, my hair isn't protein-sensitive so it works well. My mix is MT, JBCO, horsetail, burdock, nettle, and marshmallow root extracts. I'm getting a tiny bit of growth there, and just trying to be consistent.

I also ended up getting a new bottle of MT, but I won't know how it works until 2/2012, when I use it as a protein treatment. I love using it that way and not just for scalp purposes :yep:.

Mane_Attraxion I am sorry to hear that. The new version doesn't have the mucopolysaccharides anymore and that is what every agreed on was causing the growth. So without that and the hydrolyzed keratin being so low on the list now that it wasn't worth the money So I refused to use it.

I don't know how many people are using the new version and a lof of people aren't applying daily so the benefits wouldn't be nearly as great.

are you going to keep the new version or send it back? I had to look around and I found a bottle of the old version.

:scratchch If mucopolysaccharides are what people equate to faster hair growth, I wonder if I can just incorporate aloe vera into the mix? I swear there was a thread about this along time ago, I have to do some digging around here.
According to Dr. John Finnegan, mucopolysaccharides are made in the human body and perform many key functions in our health, including growth and immune system functioning. Unfortunately, after puberty we cease manufacturing mucopolysaccharides and must obtain them from outside sources. Mucopolysaccharides are found in large amounts in fresh aloe vera and in properly prepared aloe vera juices.

As for the hydrolyzed keratin, if its function is to penetrate all 3 layers of the hair shaft; I wonder if I could incorporate monthly aphogee protein treatments. I think the producers moved the ingredient down the list since many consumers said that it made their hair too hard and caused a lot of shedding. At least aphogee does help strengthen and prevent breakage.

I'll be using sulfur at the same time as well so if our hair falls out we'll be bald together lol! JK

I've done this all year with no problem. I add castor oil and whatever other oil have. The last time I mixed Amla oil and those were the best results I've seen.
 
I was planning on lurking my way through this challenge, but my MT arrived last week and it is the old formula :wallbash:. Will it still work? Anyone else using the old formula? The new formula is missing the marine protein, and the hydrolyzed keratin protein is lower down in the ingredients:cry2:.

Do you mean you received the new formula?? See my post above ^^
 
Well I just ued the new formula on Monday to DC overnight with. I can totally feel the difference...you can tell it's less protein in the new one. I can say it's still a good amount of protein though...my hair feels soooo much better. It feels stronger, and no crispy tangled ends and ssk's. For me, it feels a bit stronger than a normal protein treatment, but not as strong as old formula. As for growth...well we'll see.
 
Queenmickie most of us here are using the old formula. Did you mean you have the new one?

I swear my hair grew half an inch in 2 weeks when I checked it a week ago, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I'm not checking my length again until Jan 1st so we will see if I've experienced growth. I can absolutely say that it's made my hair MUCH stronger! Hardly any breakage if any at all. I love it. And it has not made my hair hard or brittle at all. I've been applying it to my ends weekly after shampooing and before DCing and steaming. I cover with a shower cap and leave on for 7 mins and then rinse out. I think I'm going to leave it on for 10 mins next time...I also changed how I apply it to my scalp. I mixed water, MT and Beemine sulfer serum together and apply it to my scalp every other nightly and massage it in. I was doing it every night but it was causing me to itch I think from buildup. My roots feel a lot thicker too! But again, it may just be wishful thinking. I don't want to get my hopes up. :)
 
I was so upset I wrote old formula when I DEF meant new formula. Yes I have the new formula...Sorry for the confusion.

Has anyone experienced headaches or excessive shedding with Megatek? I just started using it so I haven't had those side effects, but I did alot of research on it and quite a few women experienced that. I am taking garlic pills just in case for the shedding.

I used MT a while back and yes, I got headaches from it, so I didn't use it anymore.

Regarding new/old formula, growth is really the only thing the product is made for and the only way they make money. They probably thoroughly tested it to make sure it would work the same before selling the new formula to customers.
 
I was thinking the same thing! If doesn't work people will pissed, and not buy it anymore. I really hope it works. I'm try to fill in my wack patch.
