March 2009 - MT/OCT Challenge - The Ending & The Beginning

[supermodelsonya]

(SMS patiently waits for her late a*& tax refund to purchase OCT...she rocks back in forth waiting...)

 

[LivingDol1]

okay, i will have to drop out of this challenge. i had major shedding tonight while i was doing my roller set and i swear it has to be the megatek. the garlic pills are not helping to reduce shedding. i still have half a bottle left so perhaps i will revisit some day with a mixture.

good luck and i look fwd to seeing everyone's progress!

I am still using my OCT/MN mixture every night through my cornrows.

 

[Jaxhair]

Went to bed with MT and AOHRS on my hair and scalp last night - off to rinse in a moment. I swear my hair is thicker too - peeps were commenting on how thick it looks! I see it too, so thanks MT!

 

[MD_Lady]

I really enjoyed reading this thread. My OCT came last night and I can't WAIT to join the challenge for May!!!

Are you experiencing any buildup with this mixture?

 

[sexyeyes3616]

Hi JustKiya I am an OCT user and was in the original challenge thread. Please add me to the list as well.

 

[Aggie]

Are you experiencing any buildup with this mixture?

No because I DC and cowash often.

Hi Ladies,

I'd like to join this challenge but I'm not sure what to buy. Are you guys using only OCT or did you buy the 'Hair maximizing system' pack with the shampoo, creme rinse and OCT?


Thanks,
jayjay

I use all three Ovation products - shampoo, cell therapy and creme rinse.
They work together and I love what it has done to my hair. I recommend the entire system. I've been using it faithfully for over 1 year now.

 

[danigurl18]

I use all 3 products but since I wash my hair once a week, I alternate between poos. I also use the creme rinse at least once a week but I use the OCT everynight

 

[Wildkat08]

Anypne using it like the directions call for as opposed to like everynight and getting results? Also, are you ladies just noticing thickness in your new growth or all over your hair?

 

[HealthyHair2007]

Hi everyone,
I will be moving to kinky twist by the end of the week for a six month journey. I plan to continue my MT regi and see how much growth I can gain. I have also added Spirulina and Chlorella to my regimen. My goal is retain 1 inch per month which will give me 6 months of growth. I will not do any touch up's until the 6 month mark hopefully.... Wish me well. I will update once I get the braids in....

Update.... I wasn't sure how to do this, but here it goes. It's been two weeks and I wanted to show some progress pics. These were taken today.... Things seem to be going pretty good. LOL and it looks like I am in the same shirt....

 

[supermodelsonya]

Great job everyone...still in tree braids and applying 2x a week. Had to take my braids down three weeks into my last style because of Megatek.


IN a way that is a great thing but I don't want to keep spending money to get my braids done over so frequently.

 

[The Princess]

Okay im checking in...I took a break from OCT. I relax my hair. I decided im not stretching no longer than 10 weeks. The last two relaxer cycles I stretched 12 weeks. OMG, out of control. Im not posting any pics until JUN. Im on a personal challenge.

Okay from using OCT, my hair is thicker now and longer. I love this stuff. Im going to start back on my OCT mix probally in a week or two.

I notice my strands are thicker.

 

[Aggie]

Still using my OCT and MN mix on my scalp every other night.

 

[caribgirl]

I slacked with the MT but I am back on track. I have been applying it to my edges and crown only about 1-2xs a week.
I plan on using it almost every day on my entire scalp again.
Here is my most current air dried pic that I have taken in March.

I do - I've never used it every night. I don't have the time for that.

Nice work Birthday twin

I'm going to stop using MegaTek for a least a month to see how much chlorella affects my growth. MT thickened and completely recovered my edges. So I accomplished my goal. I didn't see an increase in my hair's growth rate just more thickness. After the month I will only include MT in my weekly DC - no more nightly applications. My SO is a nightly MTer for life.

That's a lot of growth. I just placed another OCT order on Saturday so hopefully it'll come some time this week.

Hi everyone I joined this thread last year, but I was bad girl and didn't stick with it, let alone update. Sooo, with my transition so heavily underway and with me so eager to B/C, I got back into using OCT on a regular basis again 3 months ago. Here's my starting pic from Feb, and my comparison to today (May). Mind you, I also did some moderate snipping during this time (maybe an inch or a little more), so this isn't even all of the growth that I achieved! I'm loving my OCT!

[jayjaycurlz]

I need to post pics but I've already started using MT w/castor oil. Today is my 4th application. I'd doing it 3x a week. I'll post pics on the weekend - if I can figure out how!

wow nice growth! do you apply nightly?

 

[Nya33]

Hey, i'm getting so lazy, i put mt in between my tracks on Friday and i haven't washed it out yet. I normally would leave overnight but i just could not be bothered to rinse it out on Sat morning.

I'm working out tonight so i will make sure to rinse it, hope i've not caused too much damage.

Hope all is going well with the rest of you!

 

[Jaxhair]

using mt twice a day now. need to wash my hair but i'm having a lazy week keeping it covered. moisturising twice daily anyway, so hopefully it'll be okay when i do wash. just tired of hair stuff at the moment so not pushing it.

 

[The Princess]

I started back early on my OCT. I want to feel the NG again.
