Hi ladies -- I think I made it to 3 times last week! Feeling good. Keeping up. I had gone two weeks without doing my hair, but I finally washed it this past Saturday.
I've been having this urge lately to get a weave. I don't know. I'm going to look into it.

Hello ladies, I am 1 week post and I washed my hair with WEN on wednesday and I used the OCT mixed on Thursday and Saturday. I will up use the WEN mixed 3 days a week and my essential oils mixed 3 days a week, and that last day, i will just wash my hair.
Normally my new growth starts to show at 6 weeks, now I am hoping to see new growth on my 3rd or 4th week. (crossing fingers). I'll keep you updated

Just a word of advice I feel what ya sister is totally saying and from my own experience, my hair was popping off like a twig on a branch in -13 degree weather. all because i went about 24 weeks without a relaxer
now if ur going natural ok pero even then u should cut out the perm aka BC.Congrats on ur lenght just be carefull with not doing a touch up!!

Yea, I am planning on going for 12-14 weeks stretch, I will not be stretching longer than that. Although my hair doesnt really break off when i stretch long, I realize that when i finally put my relaxer, it looks like the NG i just relaxed is only textlaxed, while the rest of my hair is straighter. So I will cut it down to only 12-14 weeks.

This week went great. I didnt wash my hair this week at all. But i did add Rosemary oil, Cedarwood oil, and Lavendar oil to my mix of OCT/Biotin Creme/Castor oil. And for some reason now, there is no white residue left on my scalp from using the OCT like i normally do. I used my mix on Monday, wednesday and Saturday this week. Hopefully i can try to bump it to 4x a week at least. I'm 2 weeks post, hoping to get to 12 weeks... bc my hair seems underprocess from stretching for so long last time.

I'm late Ya'll
This weekend was a little hectec, but anyways. I applied MT twice last week. Strictly out of me falling behind.... but so far so good I haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary. Since my new growth is extremely manageable I can't really say how much I have right now. Normally I would notice when it got harder to detangle, all I notice is a difference in thickness

Journal Entry 3/13:
Hi ladies, I have to admit to only applying MT to my hair 2x this week. I have a patch of irritated skin on the nape of my neck which I have never experienced before. I wasn't sure if I was having a reaction to something to if it was Exzyma (sp?) I typcically have exzyma break outs on my arm during the summer months. So as a test I had to stop using certain products to find out what is causing it. It's getting better but I want to make sure my scalp is healed before using it again. I haven't experienced any breakage or excess shedding. My hair has been fine with the MT treatments it was just that patch of irritated skin that bothered me. Aside from that again my hair is definitely thicker and healthier and I look forward to getting all of my hair as thick and healthy as the hair at the base of my head

I found the reason for my irritated skin was actually my brush. It was a harder boar bristle it was scratching and irritating my skin. I have a softer brush now and make sure not to brush that area more than once i've noticed a big difference. Also, I purchased an applicator bottle to make application easier and will continue with my 3x a week reggie.

I'm a little late posting. Everything has been going according to plan. I love using the applicator bottle as opposed to my normal way of applying with my finger. It's fast and easy. I've noticed a change in my edges and i'm not sure if it's due to me stretching and shortening my texlax application time or if it's the MT. But it's getting harder and harder for my edges to lay flat. I've never had an issue with it in the past, but since i've begun this challenge i've noticed new hair coming in around my edges. My edges have never been thin so now i'm wondering what they will look like in a few months.

I am late this week. Anyways. I think last week I only used my concotion once. I co-washed 2x. I notice that my hair is really dry for the past few weeks. even Cantu Shea butter and seal with Castor oil is not helping. I decided to put water in a spray bottle. and spray my hair with water to help with moisture. This morning I added S-Curl on top of the water and that seem to be really helping. So I am going to stick with this to see if it will continue to work

Hey everyone!! I am still in this challenge a bit, but I have run low on Megatek and am abroad so cant refill. But that challenge will be over soon and I cant wait to see how everyone did. I am planning to up my focus on my edges. I still co-wash on Wednesday and DC on Sunday. I have been taking my garlic pills religiously so I haven't seen much in terms of shedding which is great

Ladies I have a question!
For all of you that are using Mega Tek and Ovation Cell Therapy what exactly are you using. I went to Amazon and I saw the Mega Tek can in a rebuilder, shampoo, conditioner, and a micro-tek pet spray.
The Ovations has a Shampoo, Color Therapy and a cream rinse.
Someone mentioned mixing the two but what are you mixing??? I will assume it is not the shampoo
but are you using the Ovations color therapy in or the cream rinse. The same question goes for the MT are you using the rebuilder, conditioner, or pet spray????

^^^ Lisa, what most of us use is The Ovation Cell Therapy, that's the name in the bottle. There is the ovation shampoo, creme etc.., and then there is the Ovation Cell therapy. It can be used as a deep conditioner, or can just be apply to the scalp and leave in or be washed out. The ovation cell therapy is specifically to increase growth.
For the Mega-Tek, I am not sure, I used it like over a year ago and I forget which one I used. But like the ovation cell therapy, there is a mega-tek that can be used as a deep conditioner, or can be apply to the scalp as well. They are not shampoo.
