Got a MegaTek question and I don't want to read 1000s of posts

My megatek will be here tomorrow and I was wondering how should I use it? I wash my hair every other week. I don't have a relaxer but I colored my hair and the last 4 or 5 inches still have the color on it so I try to minimize blow drying and flat ironing by not washing it that often. Washing more than once a week is out of the question because of time constraints. Should I just massage my scalp every night, every other night, should I use something else on the length of my hair?

Thanks so much in advance. I know y'all have posted so much on this topic but I actually have read 100s of posts and I haven't found a direct answer because of my desire to not wash or rinse my hair more than once a week.

In your case, I would recommend oiling your scalp first with an oil like jojoba oil ( this oil is the closest to the sebum in our scalp) then "grease" the Megatek on your scalp every other night and massage it in for about 5-10 minutes. The day before your wash day, apply to your entire head like a pre poo, cover with a plastic cap, and wash out the next morning. Or another thing you can do is on your actual wash day, use it as indicated on the bottle for the suggested 5 minutes,then wash out. It is imperative that you follow it up with a good moisturizing deep conditioner. For a list of deep conditioners, please check here http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=319707.

You might want to start taking some kyolic odorless garlic supplements as well to combat the impending shedding that is initially caused by MT. I don't have the shedding typically caused by MT anymore because of the garlic. I also have a garlic pre-poo treatment in my fotki that I would encourage you to check out as soon as possible if you are going to be using MT. Hope this helps you out a bit.
