Here's 3 weeks worth of progress since I got my yarn braids. I can't measure since I am in the "Put Down The Ruler Challenge". I am using Mega-Tek
BTW, I am too lazy to take update pics. It's hard to get the angle just right, and I am a perfectionist. Oh, the irony...

Shh...don't tell
I've definitely learned something about the growth rate of my hair since I have had these braids in
My hair grows unbearably slow in the front and on the sides (which means I am still getting 1/4 to 1/2 an inch even with the MT, same even without)
I can look at it and tell when compared to the middle and the back of my head. Oh well...
Confession: I started using Bee Mine 2 weeks ago in the front of my slow growing head and I am seeing more of a difference in growth
I started the MT at the end of April. Here is my starting pic:

I think I got an inch in about a month!!!

Washed once a week. Never had a problem with buildup using MT. It absorbs right into my scalp. I use Jamaican Black castor oil before applying. 
Boo hoo, sniff sniff, whimper whimper
Ooooh, that's good to know, though, TT19! Shoot, whatever works - none of us are married to MT, or nothing.
I wonder if different sections of hair respond better to different things. Is your hair different in those areas?
It might be because I have a looser curl in the back. I never get breakage or split ends in this area. It's 3c/4a textured if that makes a difference...
The front of my hair - I have no idea. On the right and left sides it's the same as the back area, but it still grows slow.
I'm not complaining though. When I had a relaxer, my hair never grew past my eyebrows. Even before I got a relaxer and was getting my hair pressed, my hair never grew well in the front. If it grows past my nose, I will be astounded!
If this keeps up, I'll be APL in the back by December. I'm going to start googling recipes for the perfect mullet (aka, white man's jheri curl)
Isn't it great though JK- being natural? Noone will ever see my mullet, because I have no plans to flat iron anytime soon and it will forever be in a puff!
Girl, yes. Though, I've noticed that it seems like no matter how much longer my hair gets, the back still shrinks up to about neck length. I'm really curious to see how long my hair will have to be stretched to get past neck length..... 
) was taken the end of June. It's at least 2 -3 inches longer than it was in February. The Ovation really worked with my hair length. Now, this was all from using the Ovation at least 3 times a week. 
My skin tone is red, but not this red. Oh well. I'll get more pics up for you as soon as I can. Okay?
Okay....finally an updated shot. The first picture is when I started with the Ovation Hair Care 3 part system.
The second picture (you can see my suntan
Now mind you, I've cut my hair 3 times since February and it has grown very fast.
Hugs and blessings Angels...
Welcome Back Sis...Gosh, a girl can't go away for a couple of days and come back and you ladies are growing your hair down your backs.....
Wow.....you ladies are getting great growth!!!
Ahh, shrinkage. Gotta love it, eh?
It looks so much thicker and darker, Shimmie - have you been using Indigo, too?
And why are you keep cutting that lovely hair, woman!?!?
Girl, my hair 'shrinks' up BIG TIME... 
Ok, ok, ok...y'all convinced me!!!! I've purchased MT rebuilder - it should arrive by tomorrow! Been in this forum for a little over a year and have possibly jumped on every bandwagon I could find (unofficially) but never have I seen such a wide amount of ladies with such positive results!!! I haven't read not one complaint about OCT or MT, and that's saying alot!
All of your stories and progress pics are so inspirational and I'm glad to finally join the challenge! I'll be starting 8/1/08 and will be posting beginning pics when I get home. Can't wait to have great results of my own.

ok, i tried and tried to take a good pic with the ruler at the roots of my twists and all, but...my camera sucks. this is the best i could do but i think it is sufficient for my needs.
(to the PP who colored your hair first...that was really smart.
