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

I dunno. I'm on the same quandary. The price tag for OCT keeps telling me I don't really need it though - I could get 1/2 gallon of MT for that price!

In that case, JustKiya, we're all in this boat together because as my OCT container empties, the price tag on MT is looking mighty appealing in spite of the fact that it didn't do diddly-squat for me the last time I tried it.:nono:

JustKiya--I've been thinking the same thing. I keep looking at my savings account...like< "Should I try OCT?" LOL...one day I'll do it.:yep:
 
Still applying MT to scalp pretty much daily. I mix it up with my homemade sulphur oil mix and MN. 6 days till I can take progress pics.....
 
i ordered the OCT. i just broke down and did it. well my birthday is coming up, so this will be my birthday present to myself. wow. i feel better now that i was able to justify spending that much on one hair product.:evilbanana:

i should have just stayed away from this site, but i did a search on Ovation and was reading Ovation Cell Therapy is the Truth thread. i just became so weak.
 
Im checkin in..Well I knew I wasn't going crazy. I use OCT and before I thought I notice my hair growing within 2 weeks. So I thought I would use a little longer.
Well I went to the the Hairdresser today, to get my usual flatiron and get a trim. My hairdresser was like, OMG you have over an inch of NG, I laughed it off, she was like, NO im serious, You have over an inch of NG, and she was looking at it in amazement. She was like, I can't wait till you decide to relax, I can't wait to to see the results.

See I knew i wasn't going crazy, OCT is the business. Im 7 weeks post right now.

Now if only I didn't get a trim, but I needed it badly.
 
i must be slow because i dont know how to add my fotki pics to my signature. i am trying to post my first pic to this thread so I can keep you all up to date. Any of you know how to post the fotki or pikistrip?

Ok, figured it out--I added my signature with my pikistrip, so now you guys can see where my starting length is. Let's Go MEGA-TEK! good luck, ladies!
 
i signed up for this challenge and forgot to post anything! i just got a trim yesterday so it's a perfect time to start... i've been using megatek straight for maybe 6 weeks already. i am contemplating using one of the mixtures listed on the original post.

see starting pic attached, which is also in my fotki.

To kinda give me a starting point, I did a Henna treatment at the same time I started this challenge around March 7th, so today, I noticed my gray's on the edges have grown out and also overall I have more new growth than normal.
I have been using the Mega-Tek mixed with some Jojoba oil every other night straight on the scalp. On the alternate days I am using the Surge Olive/Soy Bean oil mixed with Surge 14 Revitilizer with a touch of Sulphur powder. I also put Avacado/Mango Butter on my ends to cut down on shedding. I am also washing every 3 to 4 days to reduce on the itchies.
This routine seems to really be working. I get my hair done every two weeks and touch up's every six weeks. At week four last week, my stylist questioned what week we were in since I had more growth than normal. I was quite excited. I can't wait to see how much growth I continue to gain.

Oh does anyone experience reversion with the MT? I put it on my scalp last night, and woke up looking like Percy Sledge!

What gives?

:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen:

I use it on my scalp and never experience any reversion. Did you only apply to the scalp or did you get a bunch of it on your NG possibly?

Oh well I'm sure I've gotten it on the NG so that's why huh? I'm pretty heavy handed when it comes to products which is why I'm always running out.

Well ladies, we've reached the end of the road - or at least, the end of this particular stretch of road.

It's been an exciting 12 months - from the first rush of excitement and disbelief around the incredible results of MT, to now - the final reveals for the 2008 Challenge.

Hey JustKiya!

Hope all is well. PLEASE, PLEASE sign me up! I just cut about 3 inches of my hair (is this the famed "BC"?) and I just did a relaxer. I have been using both Gro Aut Oils and OCT and MT so my hair is so thick and looks so much fuller especially with the hair cut which I did myself into a bob, just at nape length. So that will be my starting point. I am getting a new camera this week so I will take pictures and post. Count me in. My regimen is simple... Gro Aut Oils, MT and OCT, applied directly on scalp 2-3 times per week and every week as a conditioner for 45 minutes then rinse out and follow with a deep conditioner. My next relaxer will be in 8 weeks. I am not hiding my hair this time since I have cut it into a bob. Plus, the hubby and my two teenage boys are raving over my hair! Talk to you all soon!!

ACCCKKKK! No, no, no, hunny! You should never get a trim when you have a lot of new growth - it totally throws off the appearance of your hemline - you should ONLY get trims after a fresh relaxer - that way every strand is as straight as it can be, so you can see the full length at the bottom and what really needs to be cut.

:woohoo: for the wonderful new growth, though!!

Ouch! Be careful of being heavy handed with MT - I hope you are DC'ing quite often, esp. if you know it's getting on your NG - we don't want any protein overload type setbacks. :yep:

Welcome new challengers!!!
 
I'll be resuming my MT treatment today and using it as a 15 minute protein treatment followed up by Dcing.
 
Hi Justkiya,

Please add me in, I'm alternating between MT and OCT, and doing this every other day. I may step it up, but I'm in braids and wash/condition once a week. Many thanks.

Please use my siggie as a starting photo, taken in January 09 for now, will update at weekend.

Just checking in....Been using my MT/OCT mix 4 days a week and MN in between. I'm going to start using my mix as a protein treatment since my hair is in braids (my natural hair) and don't want to try anything new since I can't really gauge how its working.

I'm not sure how much growth I'm really getting been using it for almost 2 months. I want to do a length check (possibly straighten) but its hard for me to tell even comparing photos.

When people say they are getting the itchies does that mean that our hair is growing?:perplexed
