Is it okay to use both Infusiun 23 and MegaTek??

[Fabulous1]

So I just took my cornrows out after a week because ol girl put them in too tight and I would rather keep my edges lol So I decided to keep using the Infusium 23 and Wild Growth but wanted to know if it was okay to use Megatek also since they are both hair strengtheners.

I wouldn't recommend it. Too much protein.

I agree with MJ. It'll probably lead to excessive dryness and breakage. A lot of people lower their protein treatment while using Mega Tek. If you do choose to this... You will need some hardcore moisture treatments and DCing. But I don't recommend it.

I wouldn't recommend using any products that contain protein while MT-ing. I've stopped using Infusium, mango butter, and other products that contain protein.

I wouldn't recommend it. I did this and my hair started to break off and it was very dry.

I suggest to not use any form of protein while using MT, because of the overload of protein in MT, and any additional protein will break your hair. Always use moisture based products at all times while using MT, and only use MT as your protein conditioner. I use MT only as instant conditioner because b4 I was using as a scalp treatment and it was causing serveral shed hairs, and wicked itching.

I used both at teh same time while I was in braids . Just MAKE SURE you dilute your infusium with water and you may add a bit of a moisturizing conditionner to it.

I am too (in braids) , and I am doing like Casarela is suggesting, I dilute my Infusium with Carefree Curl Moisturizer and water (even added some extra vegetable glycerin) I aso cowash 1-2 times a week. I just try to make sure that my hair stays moisturized daily. I restrict my OCT/MT mix to my scalp/roots, though.

I dunno about that... that's an awful lot of protein! Proceed with caution! Infusium is loaded with protein... just be sure that if you're gonna use Infusium that it's the moisturizing one! Otherwise don't use it period.

i have been doing this for a week and my hair is THE BOMB right now. NO BREAKAGE. Im eccstatic!I dont dilute anything either. ive been trying this high protien content regimen and my hair is thriving.I balance it out with a great moisturizer and co washing. i plan on doing for 6 months and posting my results. i stopped going on theory and just tried it on my self to see if it works.

ITA, this is how I will be using it or else I will probably go bald in the next few months

I agree with this. Protein is my best friend right now. I have been using Aphogee 2 Min and the Aphogee Pro Vitamin Leave in after DCing and using MT. My hair is thriving, but I baggy often to keep moisture levels up. Protein is nothing to be afraid of if you mositurize often or baggy.

I'm currently mega tekking and doing the c&g method.

I was scared about the whole protein overload but i'm using infusium 23 and moisturising leave in on the length of the braided hair. Seeing as the mt is only on my scalp and i rinse so much to get it out then deep condition to counteract any kind of excessive protein in my hair.

Bare in mind when my hair was out i was not using infusium i was using either ORS replenish or UBH deep conditioner on the length of my hair for a deep condition and my giovanni and coconut oil conditioner. I will be back to this when i come out of my braids at end of december. I can't remember who said it but if the mega tek is just on your scalp then a light protein should be ok and so far I have had no problems. I know some may say stay away from proteins but its what works best for your hair and you.

HTH.

I think Infusium is garbage but some people seem to like it. As far as the protein thing I have heard too many stories about breakage and protein over load where Infusium was involved. I dont think in all cases the damage is noticeable or is apparent until after awhile so your hair may seem to be doing ok now but down the road is when you might have to deal with set backs.
