OK, I'm not nutty. My new growth is softer. I thought my hair wasn't growing. I'm 6 weeks post texturizer and usually by week 4 my new growth feels rough. However, after I flat-ironed my hair yesterday, my roots regressed faster than the rest of my hair. My hair is looking a little "square" right now. If this softness continues I may not texturize again. My finger tips can easily rub my scalp without "tearing" through my new growth. I may have to join that Keep Your Hands Out of Your Hair Challenge.

Ok yall. 
Does this stuff make your hair revert? There is no way my hair's growing this fast. I need to take pics. My crown is a hot fuzzy mess. My edges.... don't even get me started.
I'm gaining thickness! YAY!
I'm still breaking some but it's alot better. I've rediscovered Mizani's Rose H2O..... but I'm still working on tweaking this. This is definitely something I have to co-wash with.
This is crazy!
I'm gettin there!

Thanks. I have been so busy with work and school. I was a bit weirded out by the growth and remembered someone submitting apost about waking up with your goal length. I think this could be the product. This has done wonders for my hair. I am able to get a comb through it to detangle without losing much hair and all I do is apply my mix daily, moisturize my hair with water and carefree curl, seal with coconut oil, and apply my Fantasia gel to lay it down. I then keep it moving.

Is that possible?!!!!!
You know to think about it, my hair is pretty strong. As long as I don't start whining like a horse, I'm good with it.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm only 5 weeks post and it's THICK up in there. If this keeps up I might be SL when I relax in December. I might have to purchase the gallon!

Do you also use a creme rinse and moisturizing conditoner? I DC with MT and I must use those two to counteract the protein and dryness.

this is my first time using MT with my hair out(usually in some for of braids). How are you ladies styling your hair and still applying the MT to your scalp? Im trying not to manipulate my hair much but I have to take my bun down to apply with my applicator bottle and its become a hassle.

I won the October Mega Tek giveaway and I would like to join this challenge. The progress pics and testimonials speak for themselves for many of the members here who are using. Since I've begun use my nape which was really slow growing is starting to grow. I cornrow my hair and always had trouble catching "my kitchen". My fingers would cramp up on my by the time I get to this area. I'm still struggling a little bit but it's coming along really well. I can grab a little more hair to complete the braid. I think this area has suffered a lot because of wig wear.
I also notice that since I began using the MT, I've been getting some serious itching and dryness so I'm starting back using the BT more regularly (every day instead of every other day) and I'm adding olive oil to my moisturizing spray. I can't wait til December big reveal!

It sounds like you're experiencing protein overload.
Are you applying MT directly to your hair strands? My hair couldn't take it. It was entirely too much protein for me, so I apply only to the scalp. For a good moisturizing conditioner, I use Keracare Humecto or Mizani Moisturefuse. I DC with these. There is absolutely no protein in these conditioners.
ETA: Is your hair shedding or breaking? It sounds like breakage from what you described, which means your protein/moisture balance is off. You may have to lay off the MT for awhile till you get your hair back to optimal moisture levels and then add it back into your regimen. HTH.

Sunbasque you did a really good job cutting your hair! It looks so much fuller, yet you were still able to maintain a great deal of your length
Hi, newbie here. I would love to join this challenge. I am going to order MT or OCT this weekend. Which thread do I find regimines? From what I have read so far, it sounds like I am only supposed to apply this to my scalp. Should I use this as a leave-in conditioner or do you just apply for a couple of hours? I am confused because I saw that some people were using it daily, do they wash their hair daily? How often should you use it for maximum results?
Sorry, I know this is a lot of questions, but I wanted to make sure that I am doing things right.

I am using MT and OCT. I think MT is thicker and harder to spread; so, I use MT on the three days a week I wash/co-wash my hair. I only do rollersets so I put the MT on my scalp on the parts I make to put the rollers in. This is while my hair/scalp is still sopping wet.
The four days a week I don't wash/co-wash my hair I use OCT because it's lighter and spreads better IMHO. I rollerset my hair everynight before i go to bed. I, once again, put the OCT on my scalp at the parts I make for my rollers (only when I use OCT my hair is completely dry). I find putting it on my scalp as I am rollersetting my hair helps me to keep it off my hair and avoid protein overload.
