Hello everyone. I just want to say first of all that I am probably not an official member of the challenge, but I am using Mega Tek at the moment. I will be back in twists again as of tomorrow, and I am a bit nervous about using it while in this protective style...
...but I wanted to do a quick length check after using MT for three weeks. This is my hodgepodge regimen. I feel so silly posting this...
(1) Pre poo with Amla Plus oil. Leave it on for 2-3 hours while cooking or doing other household chores.
(2) Moisturizing shampoo.
(3) MT on length of hair, left in for an hour under a cap (no heat). Thanks Shimmie! (I check for shedding while washing and rinsing because I don't really notice that I shed during the week since my hair is up all the time.)
*
NOTE: If I notice shedding, I do the garlic and olive oil mix
Shimmie recommended (1 hour), clarify (Neutrogena), and THEN DC. Stops ALL shedding quickly!
(4) Extreme moisture and deep conditioning (shea butter, cocoa butter, and a small amt of Infusium - the creamy one - as a leave in.
Kiya, I do the salt in my DC every other condition. It's a MIRACLE!!! My hair is silky, smooth, and strong. THANK YOU!!!
(5) Wet Roller set and sit under bonnet dryer.
(6) I now
always sleep with a satin or silk scarf...NEVER did that in my previous haircare regimen.
Honestly, though I have had fun with my hair for these three weeks, I am so tired of taking so much care of it.
But...something good must be happening.
I can again feel the thickness I thought I had lost.
I can't break the hair that sheds no matter what. It is SOOOO STRONG!!! Breaking the shed hairs even when wet is quite difficult.
Is it just me, or can anyone else see a little difference in three weeks? The first is Sept 2nd and the second is Sept 25th. Have I lost my mind?!?! I don't think I have...
