Did you get the Sprite H.O.C for $29.79?

I could really use a good shower filter...

No, I got the one for $42.00 and I bought an extra filter to go with it too The reason why I bought this one is because it will last me 1 year while the one you speak of here is about 6 months. We don't sell them in the Bahamas so I have to buy for longer periods of time. I will from now on buy the extra cartridges for less money because I already have the filters.

You know in all honesty, my hair has thrived because of all the protective styling I've been doing as of late. I am in the C & G, WIG 2008, and BOOTCAMP 2008 challenges. I was in a HYH challenge the tail end of last year too, so I haven't really done any major reveals of my hair in quite sometime. I do however want to start wearing it out more often next year.

And no I will not forget about you because you are special to me and I love your persistence and passion for hair and that's what matters. Even with all the setbacks you've had, you are still going strong at it and I admire that. Thanks for not giving up.

:bighug:You made my day! Thank you Honey Aggie!
I wear my hair up everyday and have been doing it for the past several years. I just started wearing my hair out at work once a week and my co-workers are shocked! That is because of Ovation. Since using Ovation Maximizing System, even the other products I use perform much better.

You and the rest of ladies here, JustKiya, Chardai, AtlantaJJ, tt8 and many others like our sheroes Sareca and Dontspeakdefeat in this thread have inspired me to keep on pushing. I think it's working! Thank you for making my Sunday! Oh and yes, I will post pics more often 'cause I think I have more of a reason to!

ooh, that looks nice!!! How long a have you been using that filter and have you noticed a difference in your hair and skin since you started using it?

I have a nice hand held unit but its not a filtern that's the only thing that has stopped me from getting a filter so far. What would really be nice is a whole house filter :blush:

Girl you are too funny. Yes I have noticed a big immediate difference in how my skin and hair felt after using this. So far so good. I will definitely keep buying these. My niece took a shower with it and she's only 9 years old and told me that she likes how my water feels in the shower.

Awwe thanks january noir. I was a little worried when some of us started to experience shedding (Lawd, what have I gotten these girls into) but this is a journey. I'm happy I have you guys along for the ride. I can't wait to touch my brastrap in January! Keep holding on with me

Thank you. Thanks everyone. I am liking my texture too! I keep touching my hair. This is the first time I have been without a relaxer since I was 13 (I have not relaxed since Dec- I was stretching initially). I am not used to my natural hair but I am loving it now. I think I may stay natural. If I do change my mind and relax it will be next year. When I cut off my hair in March people at work thought I was crazy especially the black ladies. Everyone kept saying what have you done to your hair? I must admit the cut was a bit crazy looking because I did it myself and my DH did the back. I did end up looking like that little black boy in the little rascals. I have neatened it up a bit and have gotten better at styling it now.

This OCT/MT is really good, the new hair that is growing back has a really rich texture healthy looking texture, I dont know if anyone else noticed this with their new growth? This stuff DOES work.

:bighug: Thank you!!!! I was kinda nervous when folks started shedding hard, too, tt8 - I never thought I would find something that - is so simple, and is so GOOD for my hair! It's so amazing.....and I'd like to send a shout out to VWVixxen who out of all of us, has been using it for the longest and is a wonderful font of information!

I just finished doing my hair for the week, and I'm about to massage MT into my hair - I can't even describe how WONDERFULLY soft and strong and shiny my hair is now.
I've also figured out why my hair hasn't taken huge leaps in growth - it's thickening it up! The 'taper' that my twists used to have is almost gone in most places on my head - my twists are almost the same thickness from root to end - and they are THICK! So - I think that my shorter/crown layers are 'catching up' to the rest of my hair.....all the same, I've gained at least another inch or so, because my twists are lightly resting on my shoulders in the back - WITHOUT being stretched. :thud: I'm SO excited.
Stuff is fabulous.
 
Okay Everyone
Ive been really bored with my mn mix so this time i mixed it up with some sulpur 8 Grease and some megatek
Now i really can measure my growth because i just got a fresh press last week!
Its only been a week and i already See and Feel Growth!
It feels like something is crawling in my hair too:perplexed
But im very happy with my results so far!
I would take pics but i dont know how to take Newgrowth pics???(they always come out bad!
Oh well:ohwell:

My goodness JK, you really make me laugh with the thud smily.
 
Today was the first time I used the entire OCT line and so far so good.

I DCed on dry hair first and then followed the directions on the label for the system.

My hair feels really good, soft and strong and it smells really good.

I airdryed with my leave ins and then set it on carussos---came out really good.

I'm excited to see what will happen with in the next month and then for the rest of the summer!

*I'll be looking for a garlic shampoo this week too*:look: gonna incorp. that b/f i have any trouble.

QUESTION: Is putting the MT/OCT on the scalp while wet supposed to be better?

Gosh, I only know to get it on Sickbay.com but I think one of our ladies makes her own garlic oil, she posted about it several pages back. You could make a garlic oil pre-poo and use that until you can get the Alter Ego in...I'll scroll up and see if I can find that post. I would put a couple of crushed cloves in a crock pot with some olive / grapeseed and or safflower oil and let it infuse for about 5 to 6 hours and then strain the garlic out and keep it in the fridge until I get ready to use it then I would put it on as a pre-poo. Shampoo it out so you don't smell like garlic bread at work....:giggle:

I'm sorry you are having the shedding issues. Keep us posted okay?

Kiya!! yay!! :clap: !!! I'm glad it working so well to, my hair line looks like new money girl!! ane the fro is with a thickness now girl... I'm talking thick thick thick, I'm gaining more thickness than length so far, I agree with the filling in of the thinner areas and all hairs matching up in length. That's actually a growth cycle change in order for it grow in like that, totally different than before. :yep:
 
:grin::update: okay this is day 18. I did my weekly ovation system wash. The thing that is confusing me right now is the fact that I am one week from my relaxer date and I feel NO new growth, the comb is still gliding through my hair my hair is very soft and easy to manage. Dilemma is that don't know if I should skip this relaxer and see what happens. My hair is not breaking due to the garlic. should I skip this relaxer. and wait till the one schedule just before my vacation in 12 weeks ? :ohwell:

Why not, if stretching is not having any consequences, you may as well stretch just to be easier on your hair. I haven't stretched my relaxer recently because the new growth was causing breakage. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing your hair grow and retain length! Let it grow! You'll be mega pleased at 12 weeks.:drunk:

Awww January, I can say the exact same thing about you! You know you have definitely inspired me to keep pushing on:yep:
I think it's working as well, I guess I can try to deal with the shedding as long as I'm not seeing any bald spots or thinning.
