Ive been using MT for close to a month now and ive gotten no length or thickness but tons of shedding. Im wondering if i got a bad batch or something.
I see all you ladies here getting all these great results and im wodering what im doing wrong.
I simply apply it to my dry scalp daily and nothing else.
Hi Mz Dee Dee... First here's a great big hug
Don't worry about your hair shedding, it's a normal process for many reasons, especially when we 'change' our hair care regime. It's happened to me before.
Let's stop the shedding, okay? How? With
GARLIC!
It WORKS!
First you have to smile and not worry about your hair anymore, okay?
Here is my homemade recipe which really works.
All you need is
Garlic POWDER (not the salted kind, but the plain powder) and
CASTOR OIL.
(Olive Oil and Garlic is a wonderful combination and Smells Yummie but Castor Oil makes hair GROW!)
RECIPE:
Mix 2 heaping tablespoons of
Garlic Powder with 2-3 ounces of
Castor Oil. (loose paste texture) Stir well and then
gently rub it into your scalp.
The granules of the Garlic powder are excellent for massaging your scalp. It will feel gritty,
but you will feel like you've had a wonderful scalp massage.
Gently smooth the mixture in your hair (grit and all); put on a plastic cap; then wrap your head with a towel over the cap and relax or read the forum for at least an hour.
Gently wash your hair with a gentle shampoo or do a conditioner wash. The granules will rinse out easily and the conditoner will remove any trace of the garlic scent.
Do this about 3 times a week and you will have less and less shedding. It really works.
Garlic Hair Care Products:
I also have
Nutrine Garlic shampoo and the
Nutrine Garlic creme conditioner (comes in a jar) which I use once a week. And the
Alter Ego Garlic Treatment (this smells very nice
).
Note: Sick Bay (
www.sickbay.biz) sells the Alter Ego ($5 less) but it's often out of stock. So I purchased it from Amazon with the Nutrine garlic hair care line.
Process:
Once the shedding stops, resume the Mega Tek or the OCT a little at a time and see if the shedding has ceased. You should be okay.
Still do a
Gentle Garlic/Castor Oil scalp massage at least twice a week, whether you use Mega Tek or Ovation or not.
Garlic just protects the hair, period. And Castor Oil is hair growth guaranteed,
it's just not as fast as Mega Tek or Ovation. But the Garlic/Castor Oil is an excellent Hair Care Regime to keep on hand just for maintanence to stop shedding.

EXCELLENT!

A really great treatment for shedding hair is:
Alter Ego Garlic Treatment.
I bought mine from
www.sickbay.biz. I also have Nutrine garlic shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo I use sparingly and pay careful attention to apply to my scalp only as it has a clarifying affect on the hair. Perhaps it can also be diluted before applying to your scalp and remember - sparingly.
I also sometimes use an at home treatment I make myself. Here is the recipe - Crush about 7-9 cloves of garlic and mix with about 2 oz of extra virgin olive oil and heat in the microwave for about 20-25 seconds or just hot enough to apply to your scalp without burning yourself.
Put on a plastic cap and keep mixture on your scalp for 30 minutes with or without heat. I usually use heat. I would apply do this treatment as a pre-poo before I shampoo and condition my hair. It smells really strong at first, but as soon as you wash with poo and conditioner, the garlic scent goes away. Ladies, this treatment is amazing and it works. I recommend repeating at least once or twice a week for as long as there is excessive shedding.
ETA: Shedding usually subsides at about 3 weeks of treatment.

Okay Angels, I hope these garlic regimes help. Just find your preferred way to use it and GROW that hair of yours down to the ground.
Happy Hair Growth.... Don't let shedding stop you in your tracks; fight back with Garlic. It really and truly works!
It really does.
