Can people clarify for me. AM I :covereyes THINGS BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE BUSH UNDER THIS FLAT IRONED DO RIGHT ABOUT NOW. THAT CAN'T BE 9 DAYS GROWTH CAN IT???

OK, LondonDiva, you said you are not "officially" joining the challenge but is it me or you are unofficially officially efficiently getting growth with the challenge products?

Girl I made sure this relaxer was going to be my best ever (see siggy pic) Cause I had to get that self blunt cut of mine perfect. I went out that night, danced hard, sweated the whole nine, no poofing going on. MY pony was slick today (on top anyways), I was playing a little in the kitchen area, felt kinda spongey, I was like "Naaaah. Well maybe just a lil. Naaaaah it can't be no new growth. But didn't Kiya n dem get like....." **feels back of head** "Wait till we get home to unleash the satin pony"

I told myself no pictures cause I must be losing my mind. And I wasn't going to get sucked in with this challenge just use it at my own pace, plus I didn't want to get disappointed if I never hit a goal.

I'll keep you all posted.

OK Miss T T, you can add me as an honorary, I'm not putting any hair length pressures on myself, just going with the month by month flow.

I see it, but I'm still skeptical. I'll watch that area next week and see what's up (or growing down)

That's actually the only reason I take pictures - to soothe the inner skeptic.

Holy moley batman, that's newgrowth all right!

Congrats girl!

 

[LondonDiva]

OK 1 quick question before I go to bed. For all of those that have the new growth, is yours noticeably softer than usual??

I don't really have 'new growth', but yeah, my roots are buttery soft. I usually take progress pictures with my hair pointing 'straight' up - I tried this time, and my hair sagged - it didn't flop over, so it's not that it's top heavy - it just sagged like the roots couldn't hold it all up. Didn't even think of that til you mentioned it.....

ETA: I'm sitting here massaging my hair right. now.

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to grow my hair out and thicken it up. I have been using mane n tail for about 2 or 3 weeks and my hair is thicker and slightly longer. I relaxed Feb. 1 and I have about a 1.5 of new growth. I want to buy this, but I want to be absolutely sure it works. Can more people post about the new growth they are experiencing?

 

[Soliel185]

Great minds think alike I see I do the same thing with all of my oils and stuff like that. I put almost everything except poos and conditioners in applicator bottles. I also put my Megatek in an applicator bottle, and to answer your question, no, it's not too thick or creamy. It works perfectly for me!!

Then that's what I will do -- I'll probably mix it with Jojoba or grapeseed oil o I don't have to worry about it clogging my scalp.

Thanks Ladies!!

Greeeaaattt time of day!! Goodness gracious girl, that's somethin serious there! No honey, I don't think you're seeing things, I think that's some major newgrowth you got goin' on back there. I'm so jealous of you right now. How often are you applying it? If you got that much newgrowth in just under 2 weeks, just imagine what 1 month will look like!!! Congrats on the success you're having so far and be sure to keep us posted.

Hi Leona,
Here are some of the results posted in previous threads with some of the challenge members and their results. The proof is in the pudding. Take a look throughout the thread under searches for Sareca, Dontspeakdefeat, jlove74, and Nice & Wavy to name a few besides the post listed that have had results thus far. HTH

Okay, ya'll.

I'm a believer.

I've been growing hair for a little less than 2 years (I count May 2006 as the start, as I dyed my hair platinum blond - and I ended up cutting it all off, so I might as well have shaved my head), and I have roughly 6 inches of hair. Miserably, that means that my hair only grows about 1/4 inch a month - on average. I suspect it grows a little faster in the summer time, but it slows down a lot in the winter. Anyhow. 1/4 inch a month is the growth rate I was assuming I had.

I started at barely a 1/4 inch below my nose. By the 15th, I was almost to my upper lip - maybe at the 1/3 of an inch mark. Today, though, I'm WELL at my lip crease (ignoring the two or three strands I was holding onto to hold the braid down) which would be the inch mark. That would mean that I grew 3/4 of an inch in a MONTH. Three. quarters. of. AN. INCH!!! *faint*

Thats three times normal, ya'll. And that's AVERAGED out normal, not summer normal, which is MUCH faster than the normal I'm working with right now (the weather hasn't shifted fully here yet).



I'm truly a believer. I don't know HOW it works - but - :bouncegre:bouncegre :bouncegre :bouncegre I'm SO sold. The only thing I shifted was that out of the last - 6 or 7 days before I took the last set of pics I've used it maybe 4 times, instead of previously, where I might have only used it twice every 7 days.

AND! We aren't even going to TALK about the amount of breakage I had this time. Hardly none. Nor - nor - are we going to talk about how EASY my hair was to detangle - EVEN though I actually wore a twist-out this weekend (which, I haven't done in months, because the last time I did - and much less SLEPT on it - I was nearly in tears at the end of my detangling session). I think I'm in

One thing I did notice - there seemed to be a wee bit more shedding. Not that I really MIND, as I'd rather a hair shed (natural death) vs. break (hair homicide), but I'm wondering if the increased growth rate is booting those hairs that were near the end of their life out a little early?
Has anyone else noticed more shedding?



I'm a lil giddy, ya'll.

Thanks (I'm still a lil skeptical even of my own progress)

I'm applying pretty much every day.

tt8,

please add me as well. I should receive my shipment of OCT on Wed. I will apply it to my scalp daily (dry or damp with Cathy Howse's dew). Wondering, though... Anyone else using Folligen? I'm using that now and will likely continue to apply it at night, while applying OCT in the morning.

Any thoughts??

 

[mnemosyne]

I just tried mixing a bit of castor oil in with the megatek and think I like it this way much better. The hair near my scalp doesn't get a little crisp and my scalp feels better than it normally does! I might use a lighter oil later.

 

[sareca]

Same here. Seems a little too good to be true sometimes.

I'm about 3 weeks post relaxer and I have more than 1/2in of NG. It's probably closer to 3/4 but not quite an inch.

I just got cornrow braids last saturday and I started using OCT immediately and I started seeing NG by the second day and I was saying to myself, no it can't be but I'm hoping it is true. I try to wet my hair and apply with massage every PM. My cornrow braids in the back seem to be growing much faster. I can't wait to take down my braids (end of the month) to see how much growth I got. I will also be using the Mega/Tek conditioner every other week with heat to condition my braids and hopefully to thicken up my hair. I say for $56 this stuff better work! I'm also praying that God bless my efforts. My hair grows at a snails pace even though I try to be consistent with my regime. I've decided to keep my hair in cornrow braids for about 1 year (taking them down every 4-6 weeks) and I hope and pray that I will one day achieve this goal like so many women on this forum have successfully achieved and that is long beautiful hair.

I don't use Folligen, but I don't see any harm in combining the two.....

 

[Prettypsych]

yeah... I'm wondering if the folligen will increase the scalp's ability to absorb the OCT... I guess I'll find out!

With all the progress reported around here, I'm sooo excited about starting- I should get my shipment today!!

LondonDiva, gimme a link nuh? I'll be in London on Monday! I definitely think it's growing. Seeing is definitely believing!!!!

 

[esoterica]

I applied Mega-Tek for the first time tonight.

 

[AJamericanDiva]

Did anyone notice that the price of the Megatek on the Stagecoach West website (equineusaonline.com) is now $23.99??? Wowzer! That was quick! It ain't take 'em long at all. Free shipping, yeah, I know.. but it's also taxed seeing how I'm in NY. Booooo!

I KNEW I should have ordered more than one. =(

 

[LondonDiva]

You guys are lucky we pay close to that in pounds so that would be $45 for the megatek from the UK site.
