i have about 4 inches of hair and just did a bc this past weekend after a little less than a year of transitioning. ive used megatek the same way since i was transitioning and even now that in in micro twists. i use a 4oz applicator bottle and usea about half oil mixture and the rest with mega tek. it depends on what i feel like and what i have around for the oils i use. currently i have jojoba oil, a small dollap of cater oil to thicken it up a bit, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oil. i make my own scalp oils so i know what sits well in my hair and works for my scalp and i try to use these in both my megatek and sulfur oil mixtures. i just oil my scalp at night lightly with the mix and rub it in. the oils prevent the megatek from having as much build up and chalky residue and feel afterwards and it also oils my scalp. i do this everyother night and use my sulfur mix the nights in between. i dont put a lot of the mix on just enough to oil my scalp.
