Okay, here goes...
Starting pics:
I had a starting pic of the thin area at the front of my hairline, but alas, it was lost when they did all of the upgrades and changes to the website.
I will see if I can track one down when I get home this evening.
Here are my results:
Here is a pic of my hairline:
I must admit that I seriously slacked big time during the last two months of the challenge. With my being natural, I found that it was a little harder for me to use the MT in the winter months because I can't wash my hair as often as I do in the warmer months. That and I was just plain lazy.
For me, the OCT was a waste of my money. I didn't see any significant growth changes that I could recognize. After a month of the OCT I switched over to the MT and did pretty well up until November and December.
All in all, I don't think I gave the MT enough time to work because of my inconsistencies. I still have a good bit left over and I intend to use it during the 2011 HYH Challenge. I will continue to gauge whether or not it's working.
Regarding the OCT...perhaps a month wasn't long enough. Maybe I needed to use it for two months. But it was so dang expensive that I didn't want to invest any more money into it (especially when the MT was basically the same product but less expensive).
On a good note, I do believe the thin area in the front has shown some improvement. I was also able to reach my goal of MBL. Not sure if that's because of the MT or if it was because I was doing the 2010 HYH Challenge simultaneously with this one.
Who knows...
Maybe the 2011 MT challenge will yield better results.
