Jan/Feb 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Dear Justkiya,

Can you please add me to the challenge? I will be doing MT/OCT, and coffee rinses to check shedding. I'm also on the Delicious DC Challenge.

Many thanks, photos by the end of the week!
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

i slacked off on MT but i just ordered OCT. Before i order, are y'all using the creme rinse too? i remember reading rave reviews about it. Its the same price as the Kenra liter and if its just a conditioner, i dont need it.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Thanks so much, Mis JK for starting this thread. I have been wondering what was going on with this challenge. I am still MTing twice a day & I now use both OCT & MT. I think I added OCT in September. I alternate - depending on whim versus any rationale.

BTW, JK, you growth has been amazing. I am always saying my hair wants to be like yours when she grows up. I am hoping and praying that the severe damage I had last March will soon be just a faint memory in 2009..

I am forever grateful

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

i want to join too!!
i've have used MT for a few months now and when i took my hair out of the braids it was in for the 2 mths i had them i saw some really good growth. i have since rebraided my hair and have gotten OCT and have been alternating it w. the MT. i dont kno how much my hair has grown b/c i'm not going to take it out til this weekend. but i've also ordered some MTG since i lost my last bottle and will be adding that to my hair maybe a few times a week.
i'll be getting my hair rebraided this weekend and will be doing the crown and glory method along w. the growth aides.

Hey, hey, hey ladies!!

I was just thinking about you last night, RhapsdyBlu!! Wondering where you have been - good to see you, again!

Thanks for the compliments on growth, ya'll - I'm definitely enjoying mostly ignoring my hair, and then being surprised to see how much it's grown!

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Really quick question. How are you ladies using OCT are you putting in your hair and rinsing it out; or are you leaving it in you hair? And how often are you using every other day or everyday?

I plan on using it 3 times a week on wash nights. I was going to mix it with coconut & garlic oil. Right now I'm pre-pooing with alma oil and cowashing 3 nights a week, so Mega-tek will fall in nicely.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Thanks for the add JustKiya. My starting pic is in sig. Have been using my MT gracefully, today is only my 3rd time, so far so good, hoping it keeps that way.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

For you natural ladies using MT/OCT - what kind of styles are you wearing/how are you parting your hair to get to your scalp? Esp. if you are using it daily?

I was doing two strand twists. I don't feel like doing TST every week, though, and I can't think of any other low manipulation way to be able to access my scalp without getting the MT all over my length. :( Any ideas?

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I use mine on the regular so I guess I'l join...

But if it officially starts March 08 does that mean it ends March 09? If so then Why would ppl join so late and how would it be an 09 MT/OCT Challenge?

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Wanted to share this tip/discount from another thread for those ladies interested in using Ovation:

LongHairDon'tCare said:
I was SHOCKED to hear a commercial on my local radio station for Ovation Cell Therapy and I was even MORE shocked to hear that Ovation is offering a discount to my local station's listeners! Now, I don't use Ovation myself (I use the less expensive version Mega Tek) but I've heard nothing but great things about it!

Just enter discount code THEPARTY when you check-out on the Ovation website.

Tip: If the code doesn't work as is try THE PARTY (since it was a radio ad, I can't be certain how to enter it 0)

Happy hair growing!!!

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Some hair fell out today during my wash/DC session. *sigh* That's the bad news. The good news is that on one particularly long strand I noticed something. One end was thin, almost transparent. The other was thicker. I thought my eyes were playing a trick on me. But I folded it over and compared the two ends. Sure enough--my strands are getting noticeably thicker! Hot d@mn! Now I know this stuff is working!!

I have been using Ayurveda since Oct., but since joining the 3 month Ayurveda challenge I've upped the times a week I cowash with the powders in my cond. I also have included adding Horsetail, Nettle, & Fenugeek powders to my cond. as well. I don't want to start a riot on this thread:lachen:, but my hair is growing just as fast (if not faster) without all the shedding. Don't get me wrong it grew nicely with MT/OCT, and I will still use them on certain areas of my head, but just not consistent enough to be in a challenge.

:lachen: Girl this is exactly what I was hoping for. I am running out of MT and I have been very interested in Ayurveda products. I was wondering how Ayurveda compared to MT/OCT and how it would work with MT/OCT. I'm glad to hear that you are have success with Ayurveda. I won't be able to order another bottle for 2 weeks and I will have to tweek my regimen now until then. Good luck with Ayurveda and HHG!
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Checkin-in. I've been missing my challenge thread fix.

Dec update in my sig. I am using MT/OCT still, just ordered the xmas OCT pak so I'm ready to go in 09. I'm on a mission to BSL-so count me in thru 2010.

JK, Thanks for the new thread, it looks great and I love the alphabetized names:drunk:

I think MT will be apart of my regimen for a very long time, unless I find something to replace it.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I part my hair in sections and put it directly on the scalp, then co wash and put my hair in the bun. I don't put it on the hair therefore I can still use my protein conditioners and so on. Putting it on my scalp is good enough for me.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I have been slacking off because of the holidays and weather, I was only applying MT 2 times a week. I am running out so I will be just adding to my scalp now.

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

well i broke down and decided to join this challenge. i usually don't believe in growth aids, but a lot of you ladies have showed great progress. i'm waiting for my MT to arrive. i wonder how long did it take everyone to receive theirs'? i just bought my applicator bottle and i have my stuff to mix it with. i wonder if i could find a garlic shampoo in the stores instead of ordering? i'm going to take progress pics once a month once i start using this stuff to see any growth. i hope i get the growth that i want by mid June. i want to wear a certain hairstyle for my friend's wedding. i will continue with keeping my hair twisted weekly, poo'ing and dc every week. what really made me want to try this product was to help grow and thicken up my edges. they have suffered from stress, but starting to look at little better.

I joined the Wig Challenge so my hair is cornrowed in 7 cornrows underneath my wig. I apply MT or OCT everyother day and massage it in.

Will you add OCT next to my name because I'm using that also. Thanks!
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread
