I know!!! :look: I'm actually quite seriously considering skipping my midweek DC!! :look: I don't know though, Aggie might be all ovah me for that one! :lol: My hair just feels so soft and moist still!

I use the homemade steam treatment that SamJones came up with - double shower caps and hot towels. :lol:

Normally I would, but because your fizzle thingamajiggy is working so well, I will allow a pass for you:grin:.
 
oh, yeah! I've been meaning to mention this, but I keep forgetting.

1) I used henna over the last weekend - I was starting to see a little breakage, and my hair finally got through to me, and so I henna'd. My hair feel FABULOUS, and I think it's been about 4 months since my last one, so that might be my MT + Henna schedule - 3 times a year. I actually forgot how much henna was keeping my hair from breaking - so apparently MT does help (I wouldn't have been able to go more than 2 months, previously), but it's not a total replacement for henna.
Now, if I ever used it on my length, it MIGHT - but I'm a wuss, so, no, not so much. :lol:

2) I'm getting the itchies, again. They just started showing up - yesterday, I think it was - and I've no clue why. I'm handling them with a good massage BEFORE I apply MT in the evening, and another one after I apply it to work the MT in. It's helping, but the tingles are still there. I seem to 'redevelop' the itchies any time I stop applying it for about a week or so - when I start back up on my daily routine, there come the itchies.
 
I just started applying MT and it's time to do my monthly Aphogee Protein Treatment. Should I continue to do them even with MT?

I do still use both and if you are using the mild aphogee treatment then once a month would be just fine:yep:.

Ladies,

I love being in this challenge...it has truly changed the way my hair feels and my hair has grown so much. I'm grateful for a product that does what it says it will do and OCT/MT will be apart of my regi as long as they continue to make it.

However, I am going to refrain from making any suggestions or answer anymore pm's about the usage of these products. There are numerous posts about these products and all one has to do is to search, or begin reading from the first page of this thread. Because of all the 'drama' that pops up on the hair forum about it, I don't want to be a participant any longer in it, so I have made my decision. ETA: I'm not leaving the thread or the forum, I will still be apart of the challenge, ya'll and still hoop and holla with your progress!!! I will post pics still, because I want those who are beginning to use it to be encouraged...it works, very well when used as directed and I haven't had any harmful things happen to me while using it...Praise the Lord. Well, I can say that about many shampoos and conditioners and other things that I have put in my hair over these last few years as well....Praise the Lord!

Blessings to all you ladies who have been in this challenge from the beginning...you are the best! You are always helpful and willing to work out the kinks and knots that can come from challenges such as this one.

I appreciate you!

Oh no! I too understand. Thanks for your continued support and encouragement.

Hmmm, I can certainly understand your decision on this and I am also tempted to do the same thing for the reasons as yours. I think it's a good idea to do this so therefore I'll do the same as you. I fully support you in this.

Thank you, my sister! I appreciate you very much and fully support you as well!

Luv ya!
 
I got my mega-tek today (woo-hoo)!! I couldnt wait to apply it! I took 2 oz of mega-tek, 1 oz of castor oil, and 1 oz of jojoba oil. I plan on leaving it in over night.

I took some pics to track, but i need someone else to take it for me. it'll come out a lot better!
 
I just bought mine!!!! It was less than $30 bucks!!!!!! I can't wait to get growing....I will be outside stalking every ups truck that passes down my street for the remainder of the week...thank you (two snaps!!!)

Can't wait to get my grow on...Hopefully I can get enough growth to comfortably cut off like 3 inches of my nasty ends..to start fresh and healthy!!!

Why am I so excited about hair lately?....You LHCF'ers have done this to me!!!!!:grouphug3:
 
I haven't posted to this thread in awhile. I took a few weeks off of megasagging. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to megasage in my sew-in. I took it out last night, so it's back to the regularly scheduled program. :yep:
 
Hello. This is my first time posting here, been a lurker for a while now. I've been reading all these great things about Mega Tek and decided to go ahead and purchase it. I've noticed that several of the ladies mentioned that they mix their MT with other growth aids such as OCT or MN. Is this safe to mix? Reason why I ask is because I'd like to mix MT with Hydratherma Naturals Follicle Spray, which I also use. Here are the ingredients for the Hydratherma Naturals Follicle Spray: Key Natural Ingredients:

Panthenol, Wheat Amino Acids, Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Extract, Geranium Maculatum Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Extract, Quercus Alba Bark Extract, Hamamellis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Rosa Canina Seed Extract and Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract. Paraben Free.
Any advice on if it would be okay to mix MT with HN? TIA
 
Hey Kiya and ladies. That's all I wanted to say. I'm at work not feeling well but I always check in to see what ya'll are talking about. And Kiya when I eat my cheesesteak this weekend I'll drop a piece for the sistah down south.

The main concern is usually about the protein levels.... that doesn't LOOK like it's high in protein, so off hand, I'd say you should be cool. Keep a close eye on your hair though, and be sure to upUpUP your moisture levels....

But you know it aint the same if you don't have that South Philly Sunoco oil processing plant smell. :sad: But you know you my homie!!

But seriously about MT, I havent' noticed much growth, no more than usual, but it is alot thicker. Or could this be because I'm transitioning and the texture that I'm experiencing is my natural texture. I've been using it since "darn I forget the date, I have it written down at home". I do have one more bottle that hasn't been opened yet, so I'll keep it up along with the vitamin supplements.

:lachen: Is that the secret sauce??!?!?! Girl, stop!! :lachen: :rofl:

A lot of us noticed that the growth seems to come in cycles - it'll get thicker for a minute, and then all of a sudden it'll be longer. Then, it seems like the growth is going back to normal, but more thickness. I think it just might be how our hair cycles it's growth - because my hair is thicker, but it's not as thick as it seems like it SHOULD be based on the thick cycles I've gone though, if that makes ANY sense at all.... :lol:
 
Hello everyone! I'm a newbie I want to try megatek but been reading so many mixtures also using it alone ....so confused NEED help. Since I read the forum a couple nights ago I can't stop thinking about Mega tek. Every chance I get I'm on this sidekick lookin up ingredients kiya put in the mixture. Kiya PLEASE help! Im desperate. Also I want to join this forum its not allowing me to y is that? I have more ? But ill wait lol
 
You're able to post, so you are officially a member here now! ;) Welcome!!

The stuff I added was to make the MT closer to OCT. You don't have to add anything to it.

Actually, it's the Aphogee 2-step protein treatment that makes the hair hard like a helmet! The strongest one. I was just wondering if I still need to do it.I have a milder protein conditoner UBH Weekly Protein Conditioner. that I still use once a week, I will keep doing that one.
 
Got my second order of OCT today. The MT was 'eh' for me.
So, I'm gonna use up my MT with the OCT and see how that goes and from there on out---nada but OCT.

Also--i'm in twists--so I wont be a part of the SEPTEMBER reveal.

Good luck ladies.
 
Does anyone know of a good dc or poo to use w/ mt? Also should I use a cond after I poo or is the mt considered the cond. Sorry ladies im still learning....also what is a cowash???
 
Definitely want to use a conditioner after you shampoo. And you want to DC at least twice a week. Co-washing is just washing your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo - it's gentler, and less stripping/drying.
MT is a protein treatment, so not conditioning at all.
 
I'm in ladies! Very excited. I've been bugging Que with questions and I finally decided to just jump in. My 4a/b hair natural hair is about armpit length when stretched. I'm wearing cornrows with extensions. Last night, I oiled my scalp with emu oil first, and then I added the MT to my parts.

This morning, I just when back over the parts with the MT. Initially I wanted to wait until I got individual braids done to begin using the MT, but I couldn't wait. I bought a wig yesterday and will wear that over my cornrows.

I also bought the Avocado Mist and the Cream Rinse. I plan on washing my hair once a week and following up with a DC.

Super excited!
 
I was tricked, hoodwinked, and bamboozled today.:wallbash: I was traveling down I-75 in Florida today and I had the bright idea to stop and check online for feed stores in the Ocala area. I found a phone number and called the store to see if they have Mega-Tek. The young lady there told me that they have it. And they have "truck parking so I can pull the big rig in". Great! I jump back on the interstate and head down to the store. I get there and I look all over the horse section and I don't see it.:nono: I asked the girl behind the counter and she says "I'll show you". She leads me to the pet supplies (dog and cat) and she shows me something called "Micro Tek".:swearing: I said "Mega Tek" not Micro Tek. This chic had the nerve to say "It's the same thing". :rolleyes:

Do I look like I need "flea shampoo"?:wallbash: Aaaaauuuuuggggghhhhh!!!:wallbash: I felt like:buttkick::bat: :boxing::brucelee: for getting me all excited, driving out of route just for a false alarm. Shoot, they could have atleast had the Avocado Mist, the Cream Rinse or something! *Sigh*

I feel for you Platinum I would have been the same way.

Just a little update on the progress I've only been using MT for five days now I got my MT on Saturday and I had twists in at that time, but I couldn't wait to take them out to start applying. MT is :lick:. My recipe is 1 oz evoo, 1 teaspoon jojoba oil, 1 teaspoon tea tree oil, and 3 oz MT. I use tea tree oil everyday so i just couldn't see myself parting with it. I LOVE TEA TREE OIL:grin:

I hate to be a tease but I did take a beginning pic after taking down my twists on Tuesday, but because I'm in the HYH challenge until December I won't reveal any pics until then. I love you all. HHG!:bighug:
