mini- update:
the OCT is definitly working and it smells so wonderful. i am so excited this product is definitly worth the money. im having some minor shedding problems tho so i will be incorporating more garlic into my regimen
 
Okay ladies -

I've been using the OCT for about 2 weeks now. No problems in the beginning but now I'm noticing shedding. Before LHCF I didn't pay attention to shedding but since joining I am definitely gentle when combing and always check to see whats in the comb. Yesterday I was like :nono::nono: at what I saw. At first I thought that I'd put my claw clip in wrong and pulled out some strands but last night while combing I saw more long strands. It's not a comb full but enough (13 strands. . . yes, I separated and counted) I was scared - went back and read a few pages of this thread and said, okay - my sisters are saying that this is normal :ohwell::ohwell: and that I should continue to use.

Please confirm for me that this is okay - new hair is coming. By the way- I love the smell of the OCT and I definitily feel the new growth coming in faster.
 
13 is not much at all. normal hair shedding is about 100 hairs/day i believe so i think you are fine :yep:

SD, you will definitely be needing to take some garlic supplements right about now and also use some garlic treatment on your scalp as well. If you read a few threads back or even do a search within this thread for garlic treatment, the pages should come up with the products we're using and the garlic recipe used. Come to think of it, I think it's time for me to put a home made garlic treatment in my fotki, later this weekend. I have one in here but I will be slightly tweaking the one I'll be putting in my fotki.
 
Thanks FlawedBeauty and Aggie -

I've heard that 100 hairs per day is normal and wasn't sure if it was a hair myth or not - so I'll keep that in mind.

Come to think of it, I do have some Alter Ego at home (I think that is a garlic treatment). I'll try that tonight.
 
I thought the garlic pills were enough to stop the extra shedding? SO I should get a garlic shampoo? Does the shampoo smell like garlic?
 
OK- So last night I tried the experiment of adding aloe, horsetail and nettle to my MT. Whoa, I don't like how it left my hair a lil on the stiff side, my ng that is. Left it feeling a bit dry so although its a lil watery, I am going to add some more oils to it to see if it softens up a lil or maybe I will wait until tonight when I try again and see what happens. This morning it was a lil stiff so I applied my original MT mix this morning:sekret: I hope applying it twice in 8 hrs doesn't kill me or make me bald.:blush:

Now, my scalp is tender to the touch. How do I massage it if it's sore? And does sore= I have to cut back?

Thanks

Hi Leona :wave:

The shampoo doesn't have a 'garlic' smell. You can order it with or without the scent. Amazon.com has it. :yep:

Hi Aggie :wave: You are such a beautiful Blessing; you always come to the rescue for everyone in this thread. :thankyou: :kiss:

Here's your Garlic recipe and the post link -- Excellent -- it really works:

Aggie's Garlic Post:

A really great treatment for shedding hair is

Alter Ego Garlic Treatment.

I bought mine fromwww.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.

You are more than welcome. I didn't know about Alter Ego or Nutrine until you posted.

Although I use garlic powder and castor oil, it's messy :lol: It works wonderfully --- no shedding, but it's.... realllllllllll ly messy :lol:

I love the scent of the Alter Ego. Sickbay sells out of this pretty fast, so I order it from Amazon.

Have a wonderful summer and Happy Hair Growth to you.

Thanks for the help!!! I was wondering did anyone not try to stop shedding? Will it just stop on it's own?

I did in the beginning, but it was way too stressful worrying about my hair. The garlic oil was a life-saver and it stopped the shedding instantly for me.

PLUS, garlic has so much more to offer health - wise by taking it as a supplement. There are so many Garlic options AND they are so inexpensive, whether you choose a home remedy or a pre-made one.

So, don't be afraid to try them; no one knows I use or take garlic except me and those of you here that I've shared this with. There's no tell-tale garlic odor on me... just healthy hair. :yep:

Also dilute your OCT or MT product as some of the ladies here have done. I mixed Castor Oil with my OCT. In the beginning I was using too much too fast. OCT is a very strong product and it produces fast results, but some of us have to use a gradual approach to it. Especially since we have used so many things for hair growth, our hair is being shocked by the strength of the OCT and the MT.

Now I use less OCT product and it works wonderfully. I truly believe it's from using and taking the garlic.

For you.... :bighug:
 
So I just order my Mega-Tek. I already bought the Castor oil and Vitamin e oil to mix in it. I'm just really really scared of the shedding. :crying3: My hair is a G. It has taken some damaging things and kept on going, so we'll see. I' want about 4 inches so ..... it's worth a try.
 
Ok I just ordered the OCT MAximizing pack and thank god for that 10% discount!!!! :lachen::lachen:


Okay... I have been peeping... BUT is there ANYTHING I will need to buy for OCT to curb shedding or something?

Don't tempt fates! :lachen:Think positive. :yep: You probably won't shed like a few users are reporting.

Not everyone is shedding; I don't shed at all and I have never got the itchies from using Ovation. Actually, if you go to the "Shedding Poll" you'll see that most users are not shedding or just shedding normally.

Lol... thank you for the positivity. I was trying to choose between the two but I think Im more convinced with this...
 
I use both Mega-Tek and OCT and have far less shedding than I had before I started using these products. Before I would lose at least a handful of hair and constant breakage and shedding. Since beginning using these products I lose between 3-10 hairs. This is wonderful. I use the OCT system every (approx) three days and in between I apply the Mega-Tek to my scalp only. A couple days ago I received Bee Mine, but haven't figured a way to squeeze it in yet. I also take 5000 mg garlic daily so I'm sure that is helping. I do have the Nutrine Garlic Shampoo and Conditioner, should they be needed. As far as I can tell, I am growing and retaining.
 
I relaxed on June 11 and started applying the Cell Therapy on June 13. I apply it every day and baggy my hair before going to bed. I will wash my hair on Saturday and henna as well. So far I have no shedding, no sensitive scalp, my hair still feels the same except it smells wonderful.:lick:
 
Received my MT yesterday, used it last night, will be using it again. :)

I mixed it with olive/castor oil and put it on my wet scalp ONLY and massaged it in. I also did a pre-emptive strike by washing with garlic shampoo/DC with alter ego before even applying it for the first time. One cannot be too careful. I also purchased garlic supplements. Thanks to Aggie for answering so many of my questions!
