Mega Tek

[Miss Priss]

I am starting Mega Tek tomorrow and want to know when using it on the scalp every day, how often should I shampoo? I'm sure this question has been answered somewhere in the threads, but I am a newbie and I am still finding my way. erplexed

Also does anyone know if this is safe to using while pregnant?

Would it be okay to use it on my 11 year old? She wants to grow longer hair too!!!

Shampoo as often as your hair needs it.

I don't know if anyone has used it while pregnant - well, I think someone has, but I can't remember her name. Personally, I would, but I've done a lot of reading/research about the ingredients, and I would suggest that you do the same - you could run it by your doctor, but I doubt s/he would know about hair products.

Someone is using it on her 13 y/o sister, so I don't know if there are any 'age' limitations.

Good luck, and enjoy!

Thank you so much Kiya. You are so helpful. I am so excited about trying this product. I am going to the store today to get it. I can't wait to post our 'after' pictures.

I always wanted to know this too. I read it somewhere in the other big ol' thread, but I don't remember where I saw it b/c it is so hard to search through

Kiya, did you increase your co-washing at all? I still want my low manipulation and the only thing I know will have to do is part my hair twice a day to apply it and my castor oil. . .co-washing more scares me and IDK why!

Nope! I DCw twice a week, and that's it! The one thing I've noticed I've started to do (wasn't conscious, my hair just needed it) is that I'm adding a touch of baking soda to my DCw at least once a week, it seems like. Maybe every 1.5 weeks. I'm not totally sure - but that might be something to keep an eye on.

You CAN search a thread - if you hit the 'thread tools' drop-down, I think it is? You can search for a poster or a phrase - it's been useful for me in the OCT/MT challenge thread many a time!

Thank the good Lord Jesus for searches!!! I will certainly do that! I think I'm going to start using the MT today. . .I've had it for like 3 weeks but have been ultra scared of the shedding. . .did I say ULTRA like as in HUGE? I really meant ASTRONOMICALLY scared

After seeing how thick my hair has gotten, the shed is a long lost concern.

But see, I am one of those "flip-out-with-any-amount-of-hair-lost-from-my-pretty-head" people . . .lol I will think I am losing all my hair or something. . .

That can't happen, right? erplexed



No. For real.

50 to 100 hairs a DAY. A DAY! That's normal loss. Girl, you will BE aiight.



I do feel you though. There was a period of time when I seriously considered trying to weigh the hair I lost during a detangling session to see if I was losing more or less over time.

I know I know but still! This will be INCLUDING the breakage that I already get no matter what I do! The breakage doesn't keep me from retaining too much I don't think but still it has to prevent retention of some length and that makes me wanna

So regular shedding + the minor breakage + extra shedding from MT = Me one unhappy girl We cannot have that! Too much shed hair anywhere makes me sick to my tummy wummy it's like noooo :covereyes I can't bear it!

And you know. . .weighing it doesn't sound like a bad idea Sometimes. . .when I'm feeling really anal about it, I gather all the shed hairs from the shower and from detangling and put it all together and take comparison pics maybe that should go in the confession thread?
