It's Official, I'm a Tekky (MT user), get in here I need your advice

[RockCreak]

Hey all my fellow Tekkies, I can really use your help right now. I'm an 8 wk post relaxed head and started using the product on 09/08. I already have a half inch of ng and I'm trying to stretch it out for another 4 - 8 weeks. (I hope I make it). Anyway, I'm beginning to experience some shedding a little more than normal but I'm guessing that it may be due to the new product. I am aware that this does happen for some people that are using the products. I'm trying to combat it inside and out. I've used QH Garlic Poo and I'm also taking a garlic supplement. I will see how this work out. I need some advice on the following:

1) I want to see results of the MT after 8 wks- Debating on whether or not to relax now or continue to stretch for another 8 wks and compare the results?

2) I want to grow my hair to my first goal -bsl- Debating on whether or not to trim now or wait until I achieve the bsl length, by the way, my last trim was 03/08, my hair is cut in long layers.

3) Any advice on a good moisturizing deep conditioner with little or no protein....don't want to overload.

4) I'll definitely take any suggestions to any hairstyles that help hide the ng, right now, I'm just slicking it back into a pony and tying down those edges (if I don't you'd think that I have on a special helment--LOL)

Well, I will try to help you with what I can. As far as how long you should use, do it at least three months to give time to see real results.

I have been using Mane and Tail conditioner. So far I like it. I wash my hair twice a week and I let the conditioner sit on my hair with a plastic cap on for about ten minutes.

Hopefully others can help you with your other questions. Good luck and happy growing.

I'm 6wks. post relaxer, I've been MT almost 3wks, originally I planned on stretching until at least 10wks. , but OMG I have soooo much NG , I'm barely making it to 8wks., which I normally do with ease. I will say cowashing does seem to help tame the beast lol, but it's getting harder & harder to hold down a bun , I'm type 4a/b, if I make a pony while I'm still damp & full of product , then tie it down it lays ok I guess , my hair doesn't like when I stretch for too long, I WILL be hunting down some perm like a hawk in the next few wks. I wouldn't be so quick to trim just yet, however I would dust a little off the ends if they are severely damaged.
just my 2 cents.

I agree with you, I'm not sure if it's my hair or me that don't like to stretch to long. When I do try to stretch, my head gets sore and then I begin to get headaches. I guess I'll take my q from when my head start to get sore.

Maybe that's another thread- Does your head get sore from stretching, or is there a thread already for this, please help?

I've always wondered about this. My NG/scalp hurts too when its time for a touch-up.
