Is anyone still MegaTekking?

[LongCurlyLocks]

Hi all. I have been away from the board for a while. School is stressing me out a bit but I am mostly ok. Anyway, it seems during my absence I have missed some things. I first couldn't find the monthly mega tek thread. Second, it seems that folks are not doing mega tek as much. Have I missed something? I guess it's my fault-you snooze you lose! So is there going to be another challenge? I have went back to MT and I want to get some alma and other indian oils and powders for the ayunda? challenge. Please help this poor lost soul back to the campout......

I'm still using Mega Tek. I've pretty much reached the length I want so I plan to stop soon. Nothing against the product though just won't be needing the extra growth.

Did it give you a consistent boost of growth the entire time?

 

[sqzbly1908]

It is still my rotation of protein conditioners - I don't do the "applying directly to my scalp " - I use it a deep conditioner...PM JustKiya - I think there is an updated thread out there - she moderated the last one...

 

[Kerryann]

Yikes im about to stop after this bottle and try mn i dont think it does too much for me

 

[MA2010]

I stopped applying it regularly on my scalp....too much breakage/ shedding combo.

I occasionally will use it as a protein conditioner.

 

[beans4reezy]

I got good growth from Megta Tek earlier this year, but I just couldnt keep up with applying it every night to my scalp...I was way too lazy. I'll probably revisit when I get some kinlky twists.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I stopped when I got my BKT. I'm not sure how they would react together. I guess it would be okay since it's just keratin. I don't want to start shedding however.

 

[berryblack]

I got considerable growth at first and then crickets! I don't know. Darn stuff just stopped working for me.

 

[trendsetta25]

I still use it regularly! it gave me thickness which i love. I want long thick MBL hair

 

[Ronnieaj]

I'm using it regularly but just started. I'm already seeing the thickness-yikes!! It'll take some getting used to, as my hair is thick as jeebus already. I include garlic essential oil in my mix to help with the shedding.

The indian thing is ayurveda, and a 6 month ayurveda challenge just started on July 1, so feel free to get on in there with us! I use it in conjunction with my MT--tryna get back the 2 inches I just had cut...

 

[mocha.li]

I've been using it for 2-4 weeks. I think I'm seeing results but I'm also using other things so who knows which it is from, maybe both. I also been taking garlic sups b/c i read that shedding may occur.

 

[devans005]

Did it give you a consistent boost of growth the entire time?

Yes, I've gotten great growth from it. I should have done a comparison from June 2008 to June 2009 when I started. I'll take new pictures this month to see a comparison.

 

[MonPetite]

I'm returning to it after a 6 month hiatus.

If it works this time around I'll KNOW it's the real deal and if need be, single handedly keep them in business.

Truly.

 

[doll-baby]

I stopped using it because of the shedding. My hair got pretty thin so I stopped using it around February and I am regaining my thickness back.

 

[cutenss]

I do, but once I am out, I probably won't reorder, unless someone has it in the swap forum. I am about at my goal length

 

[stixx]

I stopped because I couldn`t keep up with moisturizing enough to combat all the protein (I was applying only to my scalp, but some inevitably got on my strands anyway)

That and I wasn`t convinced it was doing anything

Instead I started taking biotin and if anything my growth has increased since then.

 

[Soliel185]

I just started it again this past week.

Over most of 2008 through the beginning of 09 I was in braids or full weaves. MT gives me some build-up after a while b/c of the thickness of the formula, and I didn't think that I'd be able to effectively cleanse my scalp wearing those styles so I stopped.

Now that I'm back to wearing my hair kinky in buns or braidouts I figured I might as well use what I have. I liked the product, and got no bad effects from it. When I'm all out I might re-order. I like Boundless Tresses for winter time though b/c the sulfur helps combat dryness flakes as well as increasing growth rate.

 

[Nyssa28]

I use it and still love it!

 

[KynniB]

Nah. I quit. All the applying it to my scalp and rubbing it in was causing too many tangles which lead to breakage.

 

[unique4lyfe33]

I was slacking on it but Im still using it

 

[SmartyPants]

I stopped using it because I am too cheap to pay for shipping and handling. I went back to using MN.

 

[bumblb87]

Im still using it but probably wont reorder either.... I might try MN or something sulphur based .......

 

[CurlyMoo]

I have been off it for 2 weeks now. Ran out of it and money. Will be back on it Wednesday. I love Mega-Tek, even if I don't get anymore growth I love how soft it makes my hair.

 

[wannabelong]

I no longer apply it to my scalp as a growth aid, I use it as a protein conditioner now.

 

[NuBraveHeart]

still using it. i swap between that and BT throughout the week. i believe it is contributing to thickening up my hair. and i've finally got to a point where i'm no longer trimming away fully relaxed ends at every texlax touch-up, so i will really get to see if it's contributing to growth.

 

[winnettag]

I'm still using it, but I've been slacking big time.

Here's a link to the new MT/OCT Challenge thread:

After my bc in Dec I have stop using it every night on scalp. But now that I have some growth I am back to using it on my scalp every night. but I can not use it with anything else that is what cause me a proplem. I had started using the prowder shampoo and it was too harsh on my hair and it was falling out so I did my bc,. Well now I am trying to get my length back because my hair was shaved off, but I have like 3 inches on my head right now.

 

[MrsQueeny]

Yes but mainly as a protein dc. I reached my goal length and cut my hair to bsl and I like this length best. Q

 

[Soulberry]

I love Megatek it has worked wonders for me. I haven't experienced any shedding or breakage. Just hair growing.
