OMG, I wondering what happened to the last MEGA TEK/OCT challenge threads. I fell off after a big chop of bad ends back in November. I started again in December and have been going strong. Here are my December-Janaury progress pics!

My regimen is Mega Tek, Beemine, Biotin and MSM vitamins, and the protein drink from the "Drink Your Way To Waist Length Hair" forum. I apply the Mega Tek and Beemine directly to the scalp every day or every other day. I haven't relaxed since March of 2008 so my hair is super rough but there is definetly growth!

Wow it looks so much thicker. That's some great growth and fill in.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I took a whole week break from MT because I henna'ed my hair on Monday and I didn't want to experience hard hair from the extra protein. Hopefully I'll be resuming my MT/OCT usage as of Monday of next week.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Has anyone doing OCT noticed stronger finger nails? I have healthy strong nails, which is not usual for me. I'm just curious if anyone else is experiencing this.

I really need some clarification because this thread and others related to it are so confusing. I applied my OCT on dry scalp waited 2 hours and rinsed and cowashed. But I'm seeing other post people are saying that it is only done this way for a protein treatment. If you are using as a growth aid it needs to be applied to the scalp regularly without washing out. What is correct please tell me straight someone thanks. Furthermore I'm trying to figure out how applying a 60.00 product to my scalp and rinsing is going to help me, someone please explain, I'm kind of growth aid challenged.

I apply to scalp and the length of my hair. I do NOT rinse it out but I do co-wash every 2-3 days and wash every week.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

My first week of OCT went well, applied it twice once for two hours and once overnight. I have noticed that my shedding has stopped instead of gotten worse. Don't know why but I have almost no shedding, or breakage since starting to use this. I have always deep conditioned but I am now using a heating cap and this may be the reason why the shedding has stopped because I have upped my dc. Otherwise so far so good.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Hey just checking in, any other naturals using mt who now have gotten a tighter curl pattern at the roots?

Its almost z shaped, its not bad just wierd to feel. However it is definately stronger.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I am still using OCT. I took a break because I am using Henna two weeks in a row...so I will start back up with OCT on 2/16. I am not sure what I got because I have not straightened in a month and I plan to straighten again March 1st or so...

mine seems to be the opposite...the curl pattern seems looser. ::dunno:: I'm just happy cause its all thick and healthy.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Okay I slacked off on using my OCT, due to the NG was getting out of control. Well im relaxed and will be back on track starting tomorrow. Im glad to see so many of you all getting good results.

I'm not a natural, but I am using OCT and MT and have noticed that my NG curl pattern has changed. My NG now has a spiral curl to it which is great. I just braided my hair yesterday, so I am going hard with the MT to see how much growth I have in one month..easier to see with braids

Can't say for OCT, but MT!?! Oooh, yes!! I need to get back on doing that, as my nails are showing the lack. :nono:

Same here - it seems looser. Not sure if that's really the MT, or the additional weight of my hair pulling the shape out.




Sooo... only eight pages so far (I've got mine set to 40 posts per page) - ya'll want to keep posting in this thread for February, and start a new one in March, since that'll be the end of the first session? Lemme know, and if we want to switch, I'll contact one of the mods to lock this one. :yep:
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Im using OCT...and my curl pattern has changed...its tighter. Im more 3c...but now have 4a roots. So the roots are tightly coiled..and then my ends have these loopy curls.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I've been using MT for about 2 weeks so far. So far so good! I have actually noticed NG sooner than i expected and, it's coming out SO thick.....

I keep my hair in plaits or 5 cornrows on each side of my head(with a part separting them in the middle)...Right now i have 10 fresh cornrows in my heads. I washed with Nexxus Moisurising poo after pre-pooing with nutiva coconut oil...i conditioned with HE Hello Hydration....I combed my hair out wet and put my 10 CR's in my head and then i applied my MT mixed with JBCO on my scalp as if i was greasing it. I apply my every other day for the most part, but i started off the first couple of days applying it everyday. I wear wigs as my daily styles.

Anyway, my NG is thick!! I never really have tangles much, i had MAD tangles washing today cuz how thich my NG is...I'm not complaining tho :).

I also take 2 garlic pills daily, and my sheddding isn't bad at all. I keep my braids in for a week and do this regimen every Sunday or Monday, I try to throw in a Deep condition every 2 weeks, I want to up that tho..We'll see

Anyway! So far so good!
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

May I join, please? Or might it be too late? Recently purchased 3 (!!) bottles of MT (cheaper, lol), and I'm using it daily mixed in with my MN and sulphur oil mix. Been reading up on it and I think I may be using too much, especially as I can't help having some going onto my hair. I'm only on pg 2 of this thread and I've learnt something already and hoping to learn even more......
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Sweet!! Thanks for letting me know, ya'll!

Jaxhair - You've been added!
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Ooooh I think I will be sleeping with my essential oils infused MT on my scalp again tonight and might do so everynight for the rest of the week because I liked how it felt:yep:. I liked washing it out this morning too because of the constant massaging. The itch that I had in the middle of my scalp is gone too, I think it's from the constant washing which I'm really loving:spinning:.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Up until Saturday Jan. 31st, I was using MT every other day while I was in sew in. Progress pic below:
