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

Can I please join this challenge? I have both OCT and Mega-tek but never had a proper regime in using them. I will aim to apply to my scalp every 2 days. I may tweak things as I go along.

I'm going to have to drop out of the full challenge. I've been using my MT/Castor oil mix for 2 weeks and my scalp is itching and flaking. I will still use it on my thinning edges but that's about it. Good luck to you all.

Awwww!:sad: You can still take part in the challenge. Just focus on your edges (heck...that's one of my main problem areas). I'm going to leave your name on the list for now.:yep:

PLS count me in. I will be using MT mixed with JBCO and a few drops of paper mint 2 times a week. my starting pic is on my profile. i hope to be grazing APL come end of this challenge :)
 
May I please join this challenge? this will be my 3rd challenge but I'm sure they'll all work together (Deep Conditioning challenge, Hide Your Hair Challenge and this one)

My Story:
I BC'ed July 4th 2009 after a few months of transitioning; but I wear a lace front wig and have worn one daily for the last 16 months; when I BC'ed my hair was just about an inch or so and now it's at my colar bone in the back and below my chin on the sides; I wash once a week using the aruvedic bar soap Aritha(sp) and then user a mix of Aruvedic powers for 30 minutes; then DC with AO HSR and DR. Miracle DC pack; then 2 strand twist or cornrows coated/saturated with Castor Oi;l finally I use my color applicator to apply the MT to my hair.


My MT arrived 2 weeks ago and I have used it about 3 times; the number of times I apply MT is low only b/c I tape the wig down and I'm a little too lazy to take it off every day to apply it so I'm applying it every 4 to 5 days; I was shocked last night at how thick my hair looked and felt like OMG, this MT is no joke.

2 qustions:
Am I correctly using the MT? and if I wanted to incorporate OCT How would you recommend I use it?

Thanks
 
Hey Today is the start date of the challenge. Happy Hair Growing to everyone :). I mix my MTG With castor oil and glycerin to add moisturizing agents. But when this mix finishes, I am going to try it straight and see if i experience shedding or not and if there is any difference in the grow rate.
 
I want to wish everyone a successful hair growth journey!

And.........a question. I've been using Megatek a few times per week, and I notice my new growth is XXXXXtremely coarse. It's not even in the same category as my typical hair texture. The protein is causing this, I imagine ---- anyone else experience this?

I'm not experiencing much shedding, Thank You, God, but I did mix MT with water and castor oil per a vendor's suggestion - and it's working out very well. And it stretches the MT like you wouldn't imagine!

Hello All,

Day one of challenge
I have straightened my hair and have a sew in at the moment. I will have this in hopefully until the end of August so, not sure l will get to wash my hair during this period ( really want to but the sew in is in the middle and my hair left out all around it so that l can have a (forced:grin:) pony tail.

Also, l have decided that for the first month of this challenge, my front edges are far more important so, that is my target for month one: to grow in my edges.

My mix is 2 parts Daktarin , 1 part MT and a bit of coconut oil and water. I will apply this 4 times a week. This is very experimental and l will measure the success my the growth l get in the front.

Goodluck everyone x

Today's the day ladies!:grin:

I plan on washing my hair in the morning and applying my OCT (straight w/o the oil) to see how that works. Like many others, I plan on focusing alot on my edges.

Br*nze, I haven't started the MT yet, but keep me posted on your progress. Maybe that new growth is just coming in really strong, Have you done a good DC yet? What about a little steam action?
 
I'm officially in. I can't post a starting pic because I'm in kinky twists right now. I'll post when I take them out in a few weeks. Happy Hair Growing!
 
MsCoco, I haven't dc'd or anything, and i haven't gotten my steamer - yet. My hair is straightened (kinda reverting) and I probably won't cowash until next week.

I mean, gosh, this hair is something else! Mercy, I hope that's a good thing - it feels strange, i can't stop touching it, lol!!.
 
Been lurking for a few months, subscribed a few days ago would love to join the challenge as well.:grin:

My reggie:
Co-wash every other day with ausie moist
Deep condition once a week(my own mix)
Massage scalp with JBCO and MT every night
Moisturize with Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker 14 N 1
Seal with Vatika Coconut Oil and Jojoba Oil
 
Hey Ladies,
I was at Sally's few days ago and ran into this electric massager brush ( my roomate actually went crazy over it thinking it is something else... no comments). But ... for applying scalp treatements, this is the best. I just put the MT mix in an aplicator bottle and run some strokes of it in my hair ( no partying ) for like 1 min and which the electric massager brush I give my scalp a massage while watchin TV. Lol sometimes I feel like I am overdoing it. It is so relaxing and it massages your scalp.
I don t know how much it was. It was on the clearance section at 6.97$CAD and it was 50% that price again... so I just thought... why not? Lol.
 
I am on my way using MT MTG and Ovation with castro oil. I am noticing my hair turing gray faster then normal , edges and nape are coming as well not full , but I do see some growth. I been using for a while. I am slow grower as well I have alopecia . my stating picture in my signature; I have several oher picture that I will share later .

It sounds like you're "growing" in the right direction...especially since you can't keep your hands out of your head! :grin:

Guuuuurl, you know I'm a recovering PJ! Whydija have to go and post this! Now I HAVE to go buy one!:lachen::lachen::lachen:

My eye is twitching.:look:
 
applied to my hair this morning...I think I'm gonna do it everyday for the first week then every other day for the rest of the time. Idk y I'm doing it this way, just am
 
On July 29th Thursday my Oct came. I washed my hair with Suave clarifying poo only the scalp. Then I used Cream of Nature to detangle. Then I used Aussie 3 min, mixed with Motions Dc. Stayied in the shower with shower cap until I finshe washin up. Got out applied infusuim 23 the purple one cause it say for moisture. I started my roller set. I mixed the Oct with the MT and something called Peppermint Spirit. Its not a oil more like pepperment water, from the bss. I am 10 months post so my new growth is thick so I parted my hair in 4 rows going back and applied the mix to my new growth an scalp, the message it in. I knew I could do this from using Oct in the past. These two change the texture of my hair and I detangle each roller section and placed a roller. I went under the dyer when I was finshed and covered the dyer with a towel. Did the same thing on Saturday. I also see a slight difference in my hair. So I'll do this every two days for the month of August then I start the fall semester on the 28th so I will have to get it braided. For September (B-Day) month also for the rest of the fall and winter months. HHG
 
I would like to join. I'm a long time lurker (see join date), but only recently began taking care of my hair. I bought a bottle of megatek sometime last yr, but never used it. I'm posting from my phone, so ill be back later with my regimen and photos.

My concern is the mt weighing my fine hair down. My hair is short.. I dont know what length I'm considered here... neck length maybe... so I don't really know what to do with my hair other than wear it out. Any suggestions on mt mix that won't be too heavy for my fine relaxed hair?
 
It looks like I'm a day late for joining this challenge, is it too late to join? I would love to join this challenge
