Has MT Failed You And NOT Increased Your Growth Rate To Biblical Proportions?

[MonPetite]

This is no joke. I have the slowest-growing hair in the world. Let me say that again:

I HAVE THE SLOWEST GROWING HAIR IN THE WORLD!!

When I joined this forum last year, I was about 2 inches from APL. In January, guess where I was: 2" from APL!! Now granted I had a couple of setbacks where I had to trim away about 2 inches, but I say that because I know what my hair can do and what it cannot do. And it didn't matter that I was doing protective styles 99% of the time, keeping my ends trimmed, moisturizing, stretching relaxers. My hair is so very fine that it breaks easily. I have to be extremely delicate with it because it's so very fine, like a fine piece of thread.

NOT ANYMORE!! MT/OCT has given me strength! I can take a strand of my hair and it is noticebly denser, stronger and darker!!

I am now PAST APL and going on 15 weeks post relaxer!!!! The only thing that I've done differently is the MT/OCT. That's it. My diet has been great. I've been exercising and taking multivitamins, biotin, MSM. But I had been doing that *before* MT/OCT.

I started with the MT/OCT back in mid-April but wasn't consistent at all. I didn't notice a difference, either. I cut about 1/2 inch in mid-May and was back to 2" from APL.

After seeing LondonDiva's incredible progress, I re-purchased MT and OCT in June and began using daily, 7 days a week as she suggested. I was also inspired by other ladies who had witnessed amazing results, including Rhapsody, Nice & Wavy, and Shimmie. I mixed both products in an applicator bottle and added some grapeseed oil, honeyquat, a couple of drops of rosemary, Vitamin E, and SAA. I used daily. One thing I don't do is put on my hair. My hair hates protein and breaks easier. I would advise that if you, too have fine hair or hair that hates protein, don't put the product directly on the hair shaft.

Two months later and I'm past APL. The pic that you can [barely] see in my avy was my hair blown straight but not flatironed. So I'm sure that it wasn't completely straight.

I finally relax next week. I'll probably trim another 1/2 inch to get my ends even and healthy looking.

Keep trying the product and don't give up. I notice that it takes some time. And especially if you are stretching relaxers, you won't notice a difference. I would give it some time, especially if you're like me and have slow-growing hair in the first place.

If I can grow hair, ANYONE can grow hair.

I'm glad it worked so well for you. These are the testimonials that made me buy this stuff, LOL!

Goodness, all these views!

Has anyone else gotten a rash from MT?

OP- I was expecting to see the mircale growth in 2 weeks myself after reading the 260+ page thread. So I understand the purpose of you starting this thread.

I've been applying the MT to my slow growing area and will wait a couple of months to see if I've noticed a difference. One thing that I've noticed is that my hair texture is much softer where I'm applying the MT.

Thanks.

I've noticed its hair softening effect too. I was surprised, as I experimented with it as a leave-in expecting to need a DC for all the protein but it does make hair softer. My hair strands are already so thick I haven't noticed a difference there.

I was initially planning on two months for SOME kind of response, though dissapointed I didn't see the mega-spurt that got me to buy it in the first place. I'll keep at it too. Unless a month from now I've got this stewing in my scalp and nothing's going on.

Wow now that was inspiring. See if you were an infomercial I'd buy that product from you LOL

The sulfur in the MTG gave me a deep red rash that extended onto my neck and onto my upper shoulders. I was a mess for weeks until it healed. It was painful and it (the irritation) happen so fast before I had a chance to prevent it. It was so bad that it scared me.

Thank God for Neosporin 'Pain' ointment which took the pain away and kept my skin from scarring.

My rash cleared away after about 3 weeks. It was so gross and I'll never do that again. My pimples looked like boils LOL and I usually have very clear skin. I hope your rash went away too. It never occurred to me to buy Neosporin. If I apply Neosporin to my scalp will it make my hair grow? LOL j/k

 

[BostonMaria]

Goodness, all these views!

Well not me. If that ever happens I'll discontinue use. I bought MT because when I did the BC last Sept. I accidentally cut one side of my hair shorter than the other. Yeah I could cut and make it even, but I'd rather try to see if maybe by applying MT I can make the other side "catch up"

 

[MonPetite]

Yes...actually. It has to be the AF kind though.

This was huge last year.

I'm sure some ladies are still using it.

 

[sunshinebeautiful]

My growth rate is a little over .5 a month. I hope MT DOES increase your grwth rate.

You ALREADY getting a little over .5 inch per month without MT? Shooo, you doing good already.

LAWD! I will have to wait till my off day for this one......erplexed

if you have set your thingymabobber to 40 posts per page it goes a lot faster.

 

[blazingthru]

I think with any product it effects each person differently when I was first using it I could not see any growth at all. I put it away then I read sareca's page and decided to try it again , I even order the OV but I still didn't see anything and I wasn't consistently using it. so I use it every now and then --again I was blown away by Nice&Wavy. Here I go again. NO change okay I went and got my hair twisted up and I promised myself that I spritz my hair with Tracyee's mixture of aloe vera juice and water and put the mt on each night - I put it in a dye bottle (thanks to nice&wavy)added almond oil, emu oil, and avocado oil bang in 9 day I had 1/2 inch and 1/4 inches throughout my entire head. That sold me but in truth I was going to stick it out for the full three months. I started using it heavy on the back of my hair and thats where I have the most growth. The back is getting longer and looking a mess and I don't care. I am so loving it. I'll be armpit by Christmas as I hope to be. Shoot maybe longer. I encourage you to keep going. Just put it on your scalp and masasage it in each night after you spritz it with water. I say spritz why wet your entire head if you don't have to. then go from there. HTH

 

[**Glamourlicious**]

Well I just purchased and started with MT and in four weeks...I had BETTER see some growth. LOL Not because of anyone here...but because I spent my money. LOL Yes I think I can buy long hair. LOL Just kidding...but I am really hoping to see some growth after 4 weeks. My hair grows pretty god on its on...so hopefully MT pushes it on over.

 

[genesis132]

SO...

I ordered this.

I'm doing a two month review with pics and weekly reports. It's locked at the moment. I was going to open it when finished.

I've used it a week and a half.
I use it as a leave-in. YES. You heard me. My hair comes out shiny, soft, and curly.

I don't think any product is going to give biblical growth proportions in a week and a half

I guess my main goal using the OCT complete system is to improve the OVERALL condition of my hair..I researched the product by visiting the website and listening to the testimonies. This product has T-R-U-L-Y changed the condition of my hair..my strands are stronger, my newgrowth is insanely soft....now the increased growth rate, glowing skin, strong nails are all added benefits!!

 

[Shimmie]

LAWD! I will have to wait till my off day for this one......erplexed

The time it takes to read the MT/OCT threads is equal to 9 inches of Hair Growth

 

[Casarela]

sorry to hear that ...maybe you can try to use it for 3 months and then if no results maybe its not your thing...swe all get different results...some people got growth from mn ...and others nada... as for myself I will give it a shout and see if not oh well ..

 

[sydwrites]

Goodness, all these views!

I think people were getting the rashes from MTG, not MT.
Sounds like they had a sulfur reaction.

 

[MonPetite]

Anyway I honestly can't tell if my hair has grown with the MT. I figured, what's the harm? Except maybe the money I spent on it. The sulfur mix gave me a mcNASTY rash on my neck and even made me break out like a friggin teenager!

The sulfur in the MTG gave me a deep red rash that extended onto my neck and onto my upper shoulders.

Both were mentioned, actually.

Rashes are no good.

Your braids look lovely in your siggy.

 

[vkb247]

OP I was wondering if you clarified before or while using MT. I don't use it (yet) but I am a fan of your reviews and I think that you use -cones and other products that might prevent you from getting the full benefits. Of course I also know that you are a hair queen and take necessary measures to make sure ou don't have build up on hair/scalp.

Maybe ladies who take longer to experience results are just being delayed because of products they were using prior to MT and as that is slowly washed,conditioned, or MT'd away - boom! the hair starts to grow.

Just an idea for discussion...I'm always wondering about factors that produce different results for different folks.

BostonMaria was referring to a sulfur mix that gave her a rash. MT/OCT aren't sulfur mixes. I don't think anyone has reported a reaction like this from MT or OCT.

I'm so glad you're going to stick with it though. Myself, I did gain length first but then thickness which for me it takes awhile to notice because I have fine strands. I look forward to hearing about your positive results soon!

Wow, I DID miss that. Fewer worries then.

Thanks for clearing that up!

I'm still a bit worried about side effects and the "incubation period" that seems to happen for some users before growth. What IS it doing in my scalp all that time??

Even if I don't continue to use it as a growth aid (going back to good 'ol patience) I'll use it in my regimen regardless.

 

[Shimmie]

Thanks girl. I'll at least finish the bottle, since it's been paid for.

I'm more concerned about this rash business! I think I AM allergic to sulfur after my MSM episode. Which I took for my skin verses my hair!

I hope your skin is okay!


Not more rashes! Aw, man. Okay...now I'm giving my MT the cut eye. erplexed I hope your skin is okay!

I just saw this post. Littlegoldlamb, my rash came from MTG not MT (Mega Tek).

MTG is very high in sulfur and it caused my skin to become extremely red in color and it became a rash. Now it made my hair beautiful, but I had to stop using it.

Now as for the MT (Mega Tek), it's as gentle as baby lotion. And so is the fragrance as well. Mega Tek did not cause a rash on my skin. As a matter of fact, I've even used it on my face and eye brows mixed with a little Castor Oil and Jojoba Oil. It made my face very smooth and I like it a lot.

Mega Tek has also made my nails stronger. As I am 'Mega'sagging', the product is penetrating into my fingers as well as my scalp; and my nails are growing so fast that I have to keep them clipped. I don't like extra long nails. I keep them at a neat and manicured length. But I DO like the strength in my nails. They don't chip or peel anymore.

Hugs and blessings to you.

It's not doing anything......harmful that is.

Yiou have more to worry about with the commercial products which you've used from your hairdresser, perms, relaxers, other hair products purchased from the BSS's, Walgreen's, CVS, and the like.

Afterall, these products have chemicals and preservatives which Heaven only knows what 'THOSE' have done and may still be doing.

Now 'THAT's' something to truly wonder about.

Mega Tek is not doing anything but working on those that it works on and laying upon the heads of those not working.

 

[snowbal2200]

Mega-Tek did nothing more than give me headaches and cause a lot of shedding. I did give it time to work but it just caused more harm than good for me so I stopped using it. Different strokes for different folks.

However, I have used Surge Revitalizer 14 and that did produce great results in a matter of a couple of weeks. Not to mention my hair is stronger and thicker as a result. Because of these results, yes I paid an arm and a leg for a few bottles of the stuff, courtesy of Ebay. Surge has become one of my staples in my haircare regimen.

Unfortunately, I have to give thumbs down to Ovation and Mega-Tek but I am very happy for the many women who reaped wonderful results from the products.

I don't feel like I was one of the ladies with .25" in one week either, in fact I did not really see results until about 5 or 6 weeks. There was a notable diference in my hair right about this time and now there's no slowing it down. I've even trimmed off some of my hair last this week and it's still long to me. I believe sometimes anxiety can cause us to slow our own progress down a bit, so don't worry littlegoldlamb, your hair will grow with a little more patience, okay honey. Not everyone's hair grows at the same rate even with growth aids.
