OCT / MT and Dom Blowouts

[LadyBlu]

Hey Ladies!

I'm 16 weeks post and attempting to go natural (again). My goal is to get enough growth to start sisterlocks. Though they can be started on relaxed ends, I have been told the more new growth you have, the better.

Anywho, I am getting a blowout Monday so I can attend a national meeting for my company, and I have been using OCT applied directly to the scalp 3 times a week.

I want to continue applying it next week, but I'm scared the new growth will "go back" to its natural state.

So should I forgo the growth aids for a week or can I still apply the OCT without the new growth rearing its wavy head?

It's moist so it will probably make the hair poofy.

Yea I would hold off with the growth aides /any super moisture...especially since u want your hair to be straight.

P.S. Who ever does your blow out is going to hate you....

Yeah, I had to stop at 6 weeks- they were yanking through my new growth. I'm 9 weeks post & just did my own "at home" blow-out & for a minute I was mad at myself for all that NG.

What i do is i use megatek 3 times a week and i get my roots blown every week (i know thats probably too much but i cant manage going to work every day without doing this) But everytime i use the megatek my roots puff up, i let it dry before i tie it down and then the roots lay flat again, but i am no longer able to wear my hair out during these 3 days i always have to do a bun. But I only start using the megatek after ive had my blow out for a few days and after the body from the blow out is gone. I would not recommend you use it during the days your trying to enjoy your blow out especially if you have alot of new growth.
