2010 OCT/MegaTek Challenge (July 31 - Dec 31)

I hate rollersetting in the summer, but I'll be doing one this Saturday with a silk wrap so I can fully stretch out my hair and take my starting pic (I get a bit of shrinkage with my texlaxed strands).

My rollersets never turn out right no matter what I try.:nono:
 
So the PJ in me decided to get some JBCO to mix with my MT. I just now placed the order on amazon (along with other things :look:) and now my wallet hurts. :nono: I've currently been using extra virgin coconut oil. I've read through this entire thread, but my memory sucks and I can't remember if we had some challengers who uses this mix. Anybody out there wanna give me a heads up on JBCO+MT? I've heard really good things about this.


What is JBCO and why would you mix it with megatek?
 
:curtain:

Can I join?:look: I still have a bottle of Megatek that I bought a while back. I'm not sure why I stopped using it.
 
Thanks. Do you know if it helps with the shedding?

when i used jbco and mega tek during the beginning winter months of this year (feb-april), i really liked how the jbco offset the supposed dryness that can come from mt alone.

i also put some aloe vera juice in the mix (and a bit of mn).

i liked the results and it was easy to apply....wouldn't dry hard and flaky.

I'm definitely going to have to add JBCO to my stash.:yep:...I know...my PJitis is acting up again. :look:

The fact that I don't know how my hair will react to this product has me uber nervous :ohwell:. Just the overall unknown of it all (i.e., will I suffer protein overload, will my hair be utterly dry and break off, will I shed an incredible amount, etc.) Ugh :wallbash:. I might invest in that Alter Ego product, I purchased Garlic Oil and did a hot oil treatment with it mixed with olive oil and that garlicky smell lingered for 2 days or so for me and smelling like that is not a good look.

[/vent over] :laugh:
 
I would like to join as well please! I have ovation cell therapy and I have just neglected to use it!

My current reggie:

Shampoo my scalp every 2 to three days
DC with Aphogee 2 min reconstructor
DC with my moisturizing Ayurveda powder mix
Apply Ovation to hair after every DC
Do a five minute scalp massage after applying Ovation

Each night I will apply NTM Leave in
Cantu Shea butter natural olive oil
Vaseline to my ends

Lately I have been wearing my hair in a twistout and I'm liking it, so I will continue!

Do you want us to wait to post begining pics for the pic thread?

maybe Oct. is better for you to try, lol! no, seriously, when applying the oils into the mix, i never had any drying whatsoever, but every head of hair is different.

it's strange that the garlic treatment you did left such a smell for so long. so sad to hear that.....ummm...not a good "perfume" for our hair.:nono:

i've infused fresh garlic into evoo and although in the jar it's strong enough to pierce my nose, once i've applied it AND used a dc, i have no smell of garlic in my hair whatsoever.
hth!
 
i ordered my ovation last wednesday . it ' s still not here :( .. i ' m too anxious ladies !

I was the same way. I know I was getting on FedEx's nerve because I was checking every hour on the hour.:grin:

I was tired of using the JBCO with my MT. It became too expensive. I mixed my shikakai and amla oils with both the MT and OCT. It seemed to make a difference with the coating and shine. Its not as heavy as it was before with the JBCO. I also take garlic supps in the morning.
 
I got my megatek in ~~ woo hoo!
I still have some left over from a previous purchase.

I'll probably oct my hair on the weekend.

On the Grow...
 
Hello...newbie here. I would LOVE to join the challenge!! I just started using the Mega Tek LAST NIGHT!!! I am waiting so patiently for results! (I know, I know, it's only been a day so how patient am I really??) Anywho, as for my reggie....
I will co wash 3x weekly with HE condish
wash once a week (pre poo with coconut oil, and Burt Bees pre poo) cleanse with Hair One cleanser, and deep condish with ORS Replenishing Pak, and use silk elements leave in
I will apply the MT 5x a week with coconut oil (scalp only)
I am currently 13 weeks post so not sure how long I can keep this up! Trying to get to at least 20 weeks! Wish me luck my fellow healthy hair sisters!!
 
Has anyone experienced flaking scalp due to MT? I noticed this the other day, almost as if it had dried on my scalp and was peeling off. I don't know if its because I'm using too much, although I only apply it 3 times a week (after washing).

I haven't had any flaking. I apply it approx 4 times a week but mine is mixed with oil. Sounds like you're using too much.
 
Hi, I am a newbie and I would like to join this challenge. I ordered my mega-tek last week so I should receive it some time this week. My regiment will be the following

Oil my hair and scalp with - Argan Oil 7 days a week during the night :grin:

Moisturizing daily with- Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 – 7 days a week :lick:

Deep condition my hair twice a week with – Keracare humecto crème

Protein treatment once a week with- Organic root simulator egg mayo or Doo Gro Mega intense thickness rebuilder mixed with Argan oil

Shampoo twice a week with – Elasta QP Bodifying shampoo mixed with olive oil :lick:

I will use Mega –Tek mixed with castor oil once a week :yep:

Good luck everyone xxxx:bouncy::bouncy:
 
Can I join the challenge? I will be getting my MT in no time :D


ETA: I plan to apply to my scalp (with a mixture of JBCO and peppermint oil) every other day and sometimes everyday. I will massage it in for 2 minutes. I will also concentrate mostly on my edges to begin with. Once I see results, I will work that much harder on the rest of my scalp.


Needless-to-say, I am VERY excited and can't wait to start (I wish I had started a year ago when I joined.....)
 
Okay, so I found a little bald spot this morning near my right temple (nothing but stress).:nono: I am seriously ready to get this party started!
 
:woot::woot:Whooa I Got my mega tek today..... 31st of july roll on..... i just checked my hair line and my left temple is less fuller than the right! So thats is my focus spot:dance7:
