Okay I wanted to make sure that I had a accurate science to my findings. Well Im 10 weeks post now. I been using OCT since I recevied it, Jan 02. I have been using it faitfully, leaving it on 30mins to hours. Sometimes I leave it on overnight. Now here come the science. At 8 weeks I will experience shriekage. Well since OCT, my hair is hanging longer. Im like NO way, this stuff can't not work that fast. I was in the shower and I usually try to hold my head back to see if I can feel my hair, usually I can only feel to my fingertips, this time I can feel my hair in the center palm in my hand. Also its visible when I detangle. When I look in the mirror I can notice the growth.

This stuff is the truth. It is noticable. Just had to give an update to my OCT finding.

I'm so glad for you. I remember when I had that moment where you think must be losing it. Keep us posted!
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I am about to order need to know if there are any coupon codes for MT.
The lost I was able to find was $35 ????
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I would like to be added to this challenge! I'll be using MT, I tried it for about six weeks last summer but I had a real bad protein overload issue because I was letting it get on my hair instead of just my scalp that made me push it to the back of the shelves. I'm going to try again and make sure to get it on my scalp only and up my Deep Conditioning just in case. I also bought Queen Helene's Garlic shampoo to curb any shedding. I'm going to need all the help I can get if I want BSL in '09!

Your hair will become thicker and stronger with using these products. But what I've learned is that I had to find richer, more conditioning DCs. Keracare Humecto wasn't doing it anymore for me. Also, some products are not mean to be DCs. I don't think a creme rinse is meant to deeply penetrate. You may try using a moisture DC consistently to see results. You clarify alot, that may also be the culprit. Anything more than once a month may be stripping your hair of it's natural oils. Hope this helps.

I use the bolded, plus Elasta QP IFC (my number 1!), and Trader Joe's Refresh conditioner, when I can get my hands on it.

THANKS JUST KIYA!! OMG can't wait to start using this stuff!! Due to weather conditions where I live (SNOW!) I was unable to grab my bottle from the Tack store I found out here but I will be picking it up this week! Thanks again and congrats on your progress!
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I would like to be added to this challenge if it's not too late. I just ordered my Megatek today and according the the site www.legacytack.com it shipped today. I plan on using it straight, applying once a day but may mix it with some castor oil.

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

So this weekend I hennaed my hair in preparation for the blow fry session at the dominicians the next day. My henna story is a story in itself. It came out great, but I almost passed out from trying to multitask while wearing it. Anywho, I went to the shop the next day and I know they were talking about me because I don't have a perm. So after she finishes, she asks me if I want her to trim "a little hit mommy". I shouted so loudly I should have been screaming at her when I said NO!!!:nono::nono::nono::nono: So she wraps me up and sends me on my way. I'm so excited while driving home from the shop. So I get home and take the wrap down. It was super straight. I grabbed the hand mirror to look at the back and notice that it's still skinny in the middle:blush:. I was so disappointed that I wanted to cry. So the next day I wear it out at work and everyone is talking about how much it has grown,:perplexed but all I can think about is the hole so I decide I will trim it myself when I get home. Well this is why I should not play with scissors:
















This was the blow out:

See the hole?

It did grow but was still skinny

So I did this to it:

So then I just decided to do this:

and this:

And now I am free!!!!! I didn't plan to do this before April, but I did. I figure it will grow back before the end of the year. What do you ladies think?

I'm loving the new growth, but I just started experiencing somewhat more sheddage. I've decided to do green tea rinses in-between co-washes to combat.

Thank you, I think I'm stunned. I went from shoulder length to BSL in 5 months is that normal? I certainly feel the difference when I wash my hair, I feel hair on my back. Feels strange. I love it though. :grin:

Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

phyl73--you're making me want to reboot my computer because that is AMAZING PROGRESS.

curlymoo--OMG your hair is BSL!! That's awesome. Ya'll about to make me go searching for the mailman right now! LOL

I had to reorder my MT on ebay because legacytak.com has it on backorder for several weeks.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

Me me I wanna join - I'm back in the hairworld, I'm using OCT exclusively used MT for 4 months thickened my hair but normal growth for me.
 
Re: Jan 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge Thread

I"m still hanging in there... I got much growth from this stuff, but the issue is retaining my length.. I have had to trim twice because my ends were badly split. I got about 3 inches past shoulder length only to loose most of it. So basically, i'm right where I was in the 9/5/08 pic below.. I need to focus more on retaining now, while i'm still doing the nightly meggasagging and stuff.... Wish me luck! I'm trying to keep them moisturized and tucked in. Plus I think my scissors might be too dull.. So I gotta get some new ones.. Anyways, here's to reenergizing and getting back solid on this wagon!

Time to get back on that horse and ride the waves of Mega-Tek. :grin: I started to slack off during the holidays but I said no I will just keep doing it even if it's twice a week. And I'm running low so the last few weeks I've just been putting it on my scalp. I need that gallone Kiya, NOW! So who wants to do a gallon giveaway? :grin:
