I just ordered OCT. When you guys check-out be sure to click on where you heard about the product and choose the option for LHCF (Yes, we are there). I got a 10% discount on my order.
Thanks! Its probably just nappy from the wet product...but either way, I like it.
It's never too late to join ... Angel.Is it too late to join this challenge??? Please say "No". I get paid tomorrow so I'll be ready to order....I think I want to tryyyy Mega-Tek. Not because I know of any real difference between the two but b/c it's cheaper and a sista got bills ookaay .

MsElise.......Welcome to our forum. Your hair is beautiful.Hello, I'm new. I found this site through another forum. I have been using MT for almost 2 weeks and I have crazy new growth. I really like the way it softens my NG, its almost like it texlaxed.
Nah, the urea is a preservative, and even if it was a protein, that close to the bottom of the list, it wouldn't make any difference.
Thanks Doll, this is good to know. I'll be re-ordering soon. I don't want to run out of either product.I just ordered OCT. When you guys check-out be sure to click on where you heard about the product and choose the option for LHCF (Yes, we are there). I got a 10% discount on my order.
You can purchase the smaller system (Shampoo, Cell Therapy and Creme Rinse) for under $60. Or the 12 ounce Cell Therapy for the same price.Ok thankz and i was asking because i read that some people who had OCT had the system because that is the one that is like $100. But yea if i do buy OCT it will only be the cell therapy....Gurl when i start using this MT and it works i will be doing thisand lol.
lol
Yes, and I will be ankle length by tomorrow morning.

You're funny.
yeah dat'...Ovation is da' Truf...it isnope it's the truth after one week of ovation i had 1 little curl at my scalp.. it is the truth!!
If i can help I'm very happy to.LOL!!! Next time I need to some help I'm calling you up!!! So you can put the smack down!
Thanks for the well wishes.
I had my hair wrapped in a scarf for a couple of days and now it seems dry. I thought the satin scarf would help it retain it's moisture. Do you think it could be from the protein in the MT? Has anybody else had that problem? I think I might need to sit under my dryer with my WEN.
I was wondering if you guys have any advice about the dullness that I am having. It's not dry but dull looking. I don't see shine. (Well a few friends said my hair is dull looking. And that I was washing too much. One said I should just wash every 12 days and the other said once a month. And to dump the castor oil. Hmp, one of them has hard hair but it's shiny. Then one said there is no reason to moisturize if you have a good conditioner. Silly women. ) I wash, MT, condition and moisturize. Actually I ran out of moisturizer and have been using a Aloe Vera and Glycerine mix and Botanical spray. Somewhere along the way I lost shine. I am using less oils, only CO.
I bought the MT Survivor Super Shine and nothing! I might return it. Do you think I should reduce the shampoo and co-wash? I have been working out 5 times a week and on the really sweaty days I fill I need to wash my hair. I have been washing twice and co-washed once a week. Tomorrow I plan to co wash then put MT on the length of my hair for 20 minutes then rinse. I've got the dully blues. Is anyone experiencing dullness due to MT?
Oh btw, my hair finally has the strength and elasticity that I have always wanted that I could never get with other products. And I love it! :lovedrool: This is why I WON'T drastically alter my regimen. I would like to thank you guys for encouraging me through your stories and positivity. May you all sit on your hair by next summer.
Have a on me and .
When's the last time you clarified? And - well, natural hair isn't always shiny. It's sheeny. It - sparkles more than it mirrors, if that makes sense?
My first though, though, reading your post is that you've got some buildup that needs to be stripped off so that your hair's shine can sparkle.
What tames the new fly away (lil baby chick) hair? I love my new growth abd the hair is so silky soft but, if I straighten and get near any water...rain, mist, dew, teardrops, anything-POOF! fuzzy hair. I tried oil but, it weighs my fine, very thin hair down and sticks it together. I have been DC at least once a week so it is well conditioned. I'm stuck between hot mess and hot mess. Any suggestion is appreciated.
These threads are spreading like wildflowers. I haven't resumed my OCT system yet because I relaxed my hair on 9/5. I will continue to apply to product to my scalp in about two weeks. I'm still enjoying my flat-iron and style from the salon.
I dunno, but if you find out, would you PM a sista? My twists turn to fuzz in a single day. I used to be able to get at LEAST three days.
I agree that there may be some build up. Excellent advice KiyaWhen's the last time you clarified? And - well, natural hair isn't always shiny. It's sheeny. It - sparkles more than it mirrors, if that makes sense?

Welcome CurlieT
Don't be geeked, just be blessed. It's not the product, it's the promise we are after..........the Hair! If these work, fine; if not, there's always something better and hopefully less expensive.Thanks Shimmie! I just ordered my MT and PM'd Don'tSpeakDefeat so I am on my way!! I AM SO GEEKED!!! Hopefully the order will ship out today and get here Tues or Wed (my co-wash day). Now I just gotta figure out how to use the stuff - the stuff in which I have entrusted all of my hopes and dreams. Well...it's really not that serious but I am looking for some good results.
I ready a post at the beginning of this thread about keeping the application simple so I'll have to go back read that again so I'll know what works. I AM SO GEEKED!! did I say that already? that's cuz I'M GEEKED!!

I never clarify. I use a gentle cleansing shampoo from Aubrey Organics not sure if that's the same.
Okay, if this is a challenge, I'd like to be in it. I can do a month.
My husband picked me up from the hospital today - first schmashogram :blondbooband after asking how were the results (great, no lumps just had a mysterious breast infection a few weeks back 11 years after nursing), he told me that the mailman broke our storm window on the screen door knocking to let us know that we had a package. Now my husband is all distraught because he just had the windows repaired in preparation for the winter. He didn't think to fix the doorbell for the winter, but I digress.
I had to pretend to be upset, talking about suing the post office and they better fix our window or else. Inside, y'all, inside my heart all I was thinking was,
MY STUFF CAME!:bouncegreMY STUFF CAME!
I am going to pre-poo, wash, DC, air dry and flat iron tonight with Sabino moisture block and then apply my wondrous miracle rapunzel making product.
Watch, I'll be the one in a kabillion that it doesn't work on. (Smack that negativity to the ground, apemay.)
Okay, I'm a little giddy right now. I'm hongry (with an 'o') and I'm alone in the office.
I'll keep ya posted.
Hey Ladies,
I finally got my touch up after a nine week stretcfh (longest ever!!) Here are some comparison pics. The first one is from July and the current is September. I love MT. I feel like im getting thickness and growth simultaneously. I also have been getting compliments on how full my hair is!! I dont think i'll be switching to OCT just yet.
Thanks for the sweet thoughts Shimmie, JustKiya, and Rhapsdyblu! I appreciate you all.
God is good and we are blessed!!!! Our house is fine. No roof damage. Our wooden fence broke in a couple of places and we had a little bit of water damage, but we got that cleaned up. No windows broke so my MT was in its secret hiding place!!! You know I had to put it up!
So I'm back on my grind and waiting for this hair to grow!
Praise God! I'm happy to hear that your house is safe.
