So I have a fotki now! It's not much, just a few pics of my hair last year, when my hair was absolutely horrible and short beyond reason. The more recent, curly hair pics are me with my braid-out, my protective style of choice at the moment.

I can't wait to co-wash my hair tonight after work so I can apply more MT! Each day is getting more and more exciting. I can't wait until I'm 2, 3, and 4 months into this challenge. Praying for strength to keep up my reggie! :yep:
 
I been putting mine on since friday, twice a day like it's gonna speed it up or something :lachen:and DrMuffin, you are moving right along, I C U, I'm just as excited

If I may offer a piece of advice, the entire OCT system isn't needed. You really only need the Cell Therapy if you're worried about increasing growth and retaining it.
 
Hi mEmYSELFaNDj,

Please could you tell me what " mn" stands for. You mentioned in a post that you mix it with your megatek.

Thanks
 
Please can I join in, I have been using MegaTek/OCT since March 2010 and I still need motivation to keep with my treatments, I don t want to lack off.
Thank you so much!

Welcome Valerie!:grin:

What kind of progress have you seen with the OCT/MegaTek since you started using it back in March?
 
I'm in. I have both MT and OCT. I'm going to start with MT first as I'm more interested in thickening up my edges and nape. Will post a current pic this weekend.
 
I was just going to use MT on my mother's hair, but I'm going to use it on mine as well. I don't want to use it straight though and JBCO is a little too heavy I think for the scalp. I might mix it with Grapeseed oil.
 
Hey everyone!
Those of you using ovation - how many times per week are you using it? The directions say to use it about 3 times per week - i was aiming at about once. Any thoughts?

My scalp has been uber-itchy and i know it's because of ovation - and megatek. I am really happy about that. And yeah, i take the itchy, crawling feeling to indicate growth, lol - --- because i know my hair is clean. j/k
 
Count me in! I just bought some Megatek, I'll be mixing it with JCBO, rosemary eo, peppermint eo and lavender eo and applying it to my scalp at twice a week and daily to my edges. My current reggie consists of washing twice a week, one of these washes may be co-wash. I'm transitioning so I'm mainly in half wigs, braids or weaves. Will return to post starting pic soon.

Hmmm...have you used the grapeseed oil before? I have some in my cabinet downstairs. I may need to break open that bottle and put it to use!

(I'm also a seasonings/oils junkie...:look:)

:lachen:Gurl, you're gonna have me over here looking for that itchy, crawling feeling!

I've used my OCT twice this week already, and I was itching (no pun intended) to use it again tonight.:yep:
 
I'd love to join! Sign me up! loll
i'll post the most recent starting pic I have which is below:
It was taken back in may, but, i'll update tomorrow if that's okay!
I'll be using MT every night then once in the daytime (I have short bc'd hair so I don't end up using a lot of MT during applications). I will definitely be doing the following:
-using as above and taking 1-2 days off a week (or none, depending)
-washing my hair every other day
-taking garlic caps and sealing my *actual* hair with coconut oil to keep it moist and then baggying every night
-pre-pooing with cayenne and olive oil mixture and deeply massaging it in scalp
-i'm going to be incorporating more deep moisturizers (think qhemet), less combing and manipulation, wrapping nightly (and daily if necessary), clarifying with acv, washing and conditioning with natural/organic products and DCing x3 weekly! Will check in! Thanks for such an AWESOME challenge!
 
:wallbash: I am trying to recover from impulse buying (clothing/jewelry and FOOD included)...horseloverz is not making it easy...i mean hopesbraids wasn't either but now horseloverz has pretty much ruined my chances of recovery...

I'm in....*raises hand shyly with head down* smh. I may buy 2 bottles (can't beat $22.80 AND free shipping)...and I though I was so slick last year only paying $26...smdh

after these two bottles...i'm off this creamy crack. My goal is healthy n beautiful by graduation...after that, it's all maintenance so I really do not NEED this in my life...Im not even consistent...I just LOVE the smell :giggle:

ETA: This would be my lucky 100 post. lol

Challenges I'm in that will benefit:
  • HYH (Braids/Wigs)
  • APL by Dec 31
  • BC to WL
  • Personal Goal: BSL for Graduation
Regimen:
  • Wash Days:
    1. Co-wash—Tue & Thur
    2. Shampoo—Sun
      After every wash:
      • Seal water in with oil (apply leave-in and seal on non-wash days)
      • Apply MT to whole head (edges/nape daily)
  • Products:
    1. Suave
    2. Vo5
    3. Almond Oil
    4. EVOO
    5. Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil

I will post a starting pic in my fokti once I am out of braids. My cam got stolen so I'm so behind picture wise (was already behind before the incident...will resolve it all in time for the challenge hopefully).

I suggest using it straight up; my hair didn't suffer from using straight. Keep in mind, you may need to mositurize more often if you use it straight.

Also, I got my MT in today!! and there was a $5 coupon included for my next order. I will probably purchase some more next month before they jack up the prices from the sudden increase in demand.
 
Ooo count me in! I'm also joining the hyh challenge and planned on using MT for that too. I will be back to post pics and regi
 
I want to join i have a big bottle of MT.

Do you put the MT on your scalp or hair just like Oct?

Well my regimen will be very easy and involve salon visits(but every 2 weeks). The only reason is because I have tried numerous times to take care of my hair at home and i dont have good success at all.

So i will go every 2 weeks(2 times a month) to the salon for hydration treatments and trims when needed. During the week that time I'm not going to the salon i have half wigs that i wear. Of course I'll use the MT 3 times a week to keep my hair moisturized. I want to keep my regimen as simple as possible.
