So let's keep our fingers crossed that you don't here about a little black girl blowing up a FedEx in Tampa over some horse products....

Oh lawd! Don't go blowing up the FedEx now.:lachen:

But seriously, I know exactly what you mean. Dog on FedEx had my OCT 2 days ago, and of course they held on to it until today.:wallbash:

Ok! So...I finally got my MT in the mail today. I'm so excited it's unbelievable! And...I took a pic of my hair wet, cuz it's constantly braided-out, so this will serve as my starting pic:

Have you used the MT yet?
 
I was using MT for a while, but then I stopped just for a break, and because all the parting and applying eventually got too much after a while. I'm not sure I've really been getting growth from it, but I still have loads of MT left though so I should try to start using it again, preferably when I'm not going away on holiday as well.

I put mine in an applicator bottle and mixed with Ayurvedic oils so I don't have to part my hair to apply. I just run the tip of the bottle along my scalp. HTH
 
When I used the applicator bottle, i noticed a used a lot more; the parting can start off as a hassle, but i can do my entire head in about 5-10 minutes now...

I started using Oct/MT in 09-09 the only problem I had was that I didn't buy enough Oct.. My Ps was cornrows and J J braids. I mixed both and use 1 oz a day. I clarified 1 a week to prevent product build up. I saw results in 2 weeks time. The oct company say the more u use the better, they didn't lie. I brought the whole oct system and found out that I only needed the Cell Therapy. By Sept 28 I was pusing APL from SL and I only started Sept 10 here's my fotki for reggie. [email protected]

Thanks for sharing your Fotki with us! You've inspired me to set up my own page (I've actually been meaning to do this for a long time but I've been too lazy to take the time out to set it up). This challenge is a perfect reason to do it.

You have a serious product stash too!:yep:

That's exactly what I was planning on doing! I have my Vatika, Amla and Coconut oils on hand and ready for use!:yep:

I'm dying to use mine too, but washing and detangling my hair is a chore that I'm just not up to dealing with tonight.:nono:

ha ha I bet it is with hair like yours! :lachen: I'm trying to get where you are!! I guess it's less time consuming with short hair like mine...:perplexed

:lachen:The problem isn't the length, so much as being natural. My hair in it's natural state is very thick and tangles sooooooo easily.:wallbash: I dread wash days. Now co-washing on the other hand, I can tolerate. If I didn't have my Ouidad Double Detangler comb I wouldn't have any hair on my head.:pullhair:

Ok, thanks :). I'm gonna have to get myself one of those bottles then :yep:. Does anyone in the UK know what shop(s) I could buy one from? Otherwise I'll just order online.

Girl, you and me both! I was just looking in the mirror at my hair this morning. It's looking a little thin on the top (close to the front). Plus, when I ran my fingers through it last night, I had hand full of long strands.

It sounds like this challenge came along at just the right time. I think I'm going to wash it tonight, henna tomorrow and then start on my OCT.

Frankly speaking, I'm starting to get really frustrated with this hair of mine. Even though I'm dying to reach MBL by the end of this year, here lately, I've been seriously thinking about cutting it to a shoulder length bob.

Just a thought...:look:

^ if u dont leave that hair alone...I would LOVE to be at ur stage right now....and yes the challenge came at the right time:yep:

mine still isnt here....what's taking it so long? I ordered it on the ninth thru amazon?:sad:
 
Alright, I just found out on their website that Sally's sells applicator bottles. A bit of a bummer now, as I went there just last week, and my closest store is pretty far. Oh well, I don't mind making the trip again, all for the love of my hair :D
 
If Walmart is closer, u can get the wilton candy bottles with the red tips 2 in the pack for $1.98. Same as the applicator bottle. Its in the cake decorating section.
 
haven't decided if i'm gonna join the challenge. But I did order the MT from horseloverz for a total of $22.80 including shipping. Sorry I don't remember who gave the info, but thanks.
 
Yeesss I just received it this evening....it smells good, I was surprised and I couldnt help it so I did a test run today to see how it felt on my scalp (don't judge me), not bad I will come back and edit this post for a starting pic and reggie in a lil while
 
Hey! I want to join but I want to know if we have to use the OCT as well. I was thinking of having a 50-50 mix of Megatek with JBCO. Is it ok we do it like that? I am getting a sew-in soon because classes will be starting soon and I won't have time to be spending on my hair. I will post pics the day I get it done (Tuesday). Please let me know if that is ok though.
 
Starting pics are attached...I am aiming to achieve APL by sept/oct hopefully megatek can assist me in this (:pray:) my back sits kinda low soooo that sucks

My megatek mix is not mastered yet but I mixed it in bottle with cocounut oil, mn, tee tree oil and Shikakai indian oil:look:

Reggie is not written in stone so I'm just doing what works which is washing hair once a week, deep conditioning once a week, I'm not a co-washer yet but I tried it twice last week (I dont like leaving my hair wet) I wrap and flat iron once every week or bi-weekly (Im on hold right now w/ that though since I'm in the "no heat challenge" as well.) Oil hair itself daily and now will be adding megatek to scalp before wrapping my hair for bed. Simple!

Hope no1 minds I started today :ohwell: 7-16-10

Girl, I'm just talkin' out the side of my neck. I go through this love/hate relationship with my hair quite often.:grin: Besides, if I so much as snip a single hair off my head, I would have to listen to my mom harp about it.

That woman is obsessed with my hair.:look:

Did you get your stash from Amazon yet?

You don't have to use both products. If it's MegaTek you have, go with that. I happened to buy both because I'm a bonefide PJ, who has many issues.:look:
 
yup it finally came and I used it friday just to see how it would make my hair feel, it smells good, I didnt know it smelled like that.
 
count me in on the challenge. I wash once weekly and dc at that time. Also co wash 2x week. Will apply mega tek daily to scalp.
