Hi PO, are you applying a moisturizing deep conditioning to your hair weekly? It sounds like you're breaking at the demarcation line where the relaxed hair connects to the new growth so you may have to relax your hair sooner than you want to. Also, have you been using any type of protein treatment to keep the demarcation area strong while you stretch, and if so what have you been using and how often?

I wasnt but now I am.. I did a DC today and WOW...what a difference.. I guess my hair was just in need of more moisture. My curls pop so much more now and m NG is crazy thick.

I didnt want to add any other proteins besides MT (had protein overload in the past, learned my mistake from that) so now I just use a mixture of MT with Mahbranjhi (sp?) oil and it seems to even things out. I think I will be able to wait to August.

One weird thing has been happening in the past 3 days, my scalp is super sore. Like not itchy but sore, maybe Im experienceing accelerated growth. I know that my hair has gotten thicker in the past week, but I'm not too sure about length. My One year Hairversary is coming up so I will update fully with pics then.

Increase your deep conditioning, wait another week or two before you relax your hair. I know it's gonna seem hard, but at least try stretching another week. Try not to comb from the roots, only the ends. I find that when I shampoo my hair with Porosity control shampoo too, that this helps to detangle my hair a lot and the comb literally glides through the new growth almost as if my relaxer is only 2 weeks post. Try this and see how your new growth behaves and then stretch an additional week if you could. HTH!

Thanks! I will try to get to 3 months. I just remembered i have jane carter nourish and shine so i will use on edges and ends. I hope i can make it!
 
Okay after reading and posting in this thread http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=240291 I got up and grabbed my Mega Tek and just added about 2oz of BT and 5 tubes of MN to it for the duration of the 90 days I will be using MT. I even put 1/8th of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, a few drops each of peppermint, rosemary, ylang ylang, tea tree, cedarwood, and white thyme essential oils and another ounce of JBCO in the mix as well. I will be applying it to my scalp just before retiring for bed tonight. I will update on how it works later.

ETA: I am trying to use up my remaining MN and BT so I can just stick with OCT for a while after I'm done using my MT. Oooh I just remember, I also have some surge that I need to use up as well. I can't find it on the market any longer so I might as well use it up if and before it goes bad on me.

I added my pics to the thread. Not sure if they are going to help any since I've only just started using OCT and my other before pics were not right after a relaxer like these ones are.

DH says I am only 2 - 2.5 inches from BSL now. About a month ago I was just grazing APL IMO now I am leaving it in the dust so Im excited. :D

I'm updating my fotki too. So you guys can check there for more pics. :)

I was considering mixing my MN and OVT/MT as well. Right now I'm applying both separately, everyday.

Think I'm gonna just throw them both in the same bottle and apply!

I already know that MN gives me great growth. Everything else is extra.

this may sound like a dumb question...but,are u supposed to use mt as a leave in or do u rinse it out?:perplexed
Click to expand...

It's not a dumb question. People are using it so many ways, it could make your head swim. :spinning:

I use the Ovation, but it's the same concept.

For daily use = I apply mine for about 5-10 minutes daily on clean, wet scalp and then rinse out following by the creme rinse.

For use as a treatment (1-2x week) = apply on clean wet scalp for 1-2 hours or overnight and rinse out in the morning. Follow with creme rinse.

:yep:ok i finaly ordered my OCT so yall can re- welcome me to the challenge lol... cant wait to get megga growth and thickness like all of u wonderful ladies

im not really sure how im gonna use it but i was thinking:

monday-thurs:
spritz scalp with water & apply OCT in the night
co- wash the next morning
apply leave in & seal with castor oil
rollerset


fridays:
pre-poo
shampoo
apply OCT and let it sit for 5 minutes
rinse out
Condition & detangle
Deep Condition
apply leave in
roller set

is this a good plan?

When I apply MegaTek to my roots, I also oil my scalp. It's stopped the overwhelming amount of hair I was shedding. Maybe you are applying too much?
 
6 Weeks ago I started using MT - Brown shirt = before MT. I skipped a week while on vacation though.

Alright, today I got the ultimate proof Ovation and MT are working --

I haven't seen my SO for more than a month, he's been traveling for work.
I met him at the airport, he actually stopped and stared at me then blurted out, "OMG, your HAIR!"

He said it was so much longer and thicker than the last time he saw me, and he couldn't keep his hands out of it. :kissing4:

I never told him what I was using, or what it was doing to my hair, so this was real feedback. I couldn't be happier, I knew this stuff was making a difference! I just had to share this with you guys, it really does work! :grin:

That's FABULOUS!!!!
 
Is anyone using the Rejuvenator and getting any growth?? I have the sample pack from Ovation and am starting to run out of the CT so I have to figure out if I can keep up the expense of getting the CT or get something else less expensive but with results. :perplexed Any help?!

I'm sure LondonDiva can help with an answer for you but I thingk she is travelling right now and will probably won't be back on the board until another week or two. She, like me has been using the Mega Tek Cell Rebuilder but she has been using it about a month longer than I have. I hope she comes soon with an answer for you as she has had very good success with MT.

IIRC the rejuvenator has been discontinued but has the same ingredients as OCT. The rebuilder is the equine version with slightly different ingredients but supposedly has more of the active or growth promoting ingredients. HTH! :)

ETA: Mother of Mary WTF!! Okay remember that minimal shedding I mentioned? Well I decided to go and do a preemptive alter ego treatment along with my regular protien DC. I also left a little OCT on my scalp as well. 15 mins under my soft bonnet. Off to the shower to wash it all out. Hair feels even weirder than normal. Put in my detangling instant conditioner. Start combing through. All is well and then its NOT!

Big long clump of hair made me catch my breath and almost pass out!! I guess that might've been a panic attack or something. Then I look at the clump. Its only 4 hairs. WTF??? 4 hairs scared the living crap out of me. :( Just 4? Not normal I tell you! Then I start to feel better and comb through the rest of the hair loosing so many hairs it was like a mass exodus. Not paniced though. I calmly count the hairs once I am done and its only like 20. Umm... Yeah. Finish up the rest of what I'm doing and notice the under processed section is acting peculiar as well. Will this never end? *sigh*

Next side note: The under processed hair is very untangled, very smooth, very peculiar. The NG is only apparent on wet hair now. The New NG is starting to be more apparent and definately rebelling against "the norm." The whole lot is very very peculiar and good in some weird and twisted way. I just hope something bad doesn't happen. :look:

:update: Update on my shedding. I started taking Allicin 4000 Garlic tablets to stop the shedding and it has worked. :grin: I didn't like the idea of adding garlic shampoos, conditioners or deep conditioners so I went with the tablets thinking that should help. The guy at vitamin shoppe suggested Allicin because it is supposedly the active ingredient in garlic. I'm taking 12000 mg daily (two tablets).

Anyway I just wanted to suggest this as a possible solution to those of us experiencing excessive shedding. :)

Oooh, goody goody! I'm gonna pick some up. I am not putting another product on my hair, because my hair is really starting to get ticked off at me for touching it so much. Taking garlic internally is a good idea. Thanks smarty pants :grin:

That's a really good idea, thanks for sharing.
 
Ok ladies, I tried to go thru the post but its 253 pages...I would like to join and I'm ordering today, but I have a few questions. I am transitioning (9months) and I get my hair flat ironed every 2 weeks. I would like to use the CT only. Will this cause my hair to revert if I put it on my scalp nightly. I perfer not to wash daily because I cannot deal with the two textures very well. Please advise. :perplexedThanks!
