How are you using the MT? On the lengths or on the scalp?

If just the scalp then probably not too much protein, but if you use the MT and ORS on the lengths of the hair that would be too much IMHO. My fine tresses don't hold up well to too much protein. Hope this helps.
 
As long as you are not using both as a DC you should be okay ..if you are apply MT to the scalp - since you are washing your hair before putting on the ORS you should be able to remove any leftover MT that may cause unnecessary tangling (sp) and hardness...I would also follow up with a moisturizing dc just to be on the safe side
 
I use both MT and OCT. OCT I use daily on the scalp. MT I use on wash days on the lengths of the hair followed by a DC. I do it this way b/c I was told that MT is better for thickness and OCT for growth. Just trying to have the best of both worlds...lol

Oh, I have also started using Henna which I plan to do once a month. When I henna I definitely don't use the MT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be going to Reniece as long as I can. She is by far the best stylist I have ever had. I have had my hair out since Jan. 19th so hopefully I will get my next install soon. With that being said the next time I will henna will be in July when i get my next relaxer. I can't wait to get my next install.
 
How does your hair normally treat ORS? When I use ORS it is more like a moisturizing conditioner than a protein conditioner. Last week I DCed with a megatek/OCT mix for 20 minutes and then ORS for 2 hours. My hair was hard and tough after the MT/OCT, but the ORS restored it to its glory! It was soft and feeling great. So i think that using ORS and MT or OCT is fine depending upon how your hair normally reacts to ORS.
