Ooohweee, you ladies have been chatting up a storm today!!!
RhapsdyBlu hunny, your hair is looking LOVELY!!! It's amazing how slow growth seems to be on a day to day basis, but once you compare pics, it's impressive!
I'm still kicking myself for not taking better progress pics - I haven't posted any, because none of the pics really show my progress - it's kinda frustrating, honestly.
*sigh*
Okay, Trudy, now I want you to think about the shedding.
1) How long did you have your twists in? 6 weeks? That's 42 days.
2) Every day, you can shed between 50 to 100 hairs. On MT, people have noticed some increased shedding, so lets say you shed 125 hairs a day.
3) Your hair was growing longer, all the while, so each shed hair is going to look longer than the shed hairs that you were used to before you put the twists in.
42*125 = 5,250 hairs. And the would be almost 'normal' shedding - and your hair still got thicker. Girl!
At least take the pictures. You don't have to show them to us, but take them, and compare them to before the twists - you might be surprised. Or, heck, you might be totally right - but at least take the pics and see, okay?
I'm off today, so this is actually the first time I've been on - and ChaCha has been eating my brain over the weekend. 
I'm keeping an eye on ya'll!

Thank you, Ladies, thank you. I am suppose to be preparing for 3 different classes on 3 different subjects but I am here on this board. I tell ya.
Trudy, JK is right. Take pics if just for yourself. Samantha Jones told me to take pics when I first joined this board & she told me that if I never post them, that was fine. It was for me. I relunctantly took them, cried for 2 days after I looked them over, but now when I look back on them, I am truly shocked. In a year, ya'll probably kick me off the board cause I won't be able to stand myself.
You guys keep me going, keep me hoping, keep me working. Thanks for all the notes of congratulations. I have amazingly healthy hair due to what you all have taught me.
I can't wait to see others' progress. Those who have posted so far have just been inspirational.
Congratulations, you healthy haired, thick, long hair growing women.

My hair is growing really slow. Maybe it's because I'm going natural and it's shedding as it grows(?). I just started using Alter Ego's cren drops and I've been using OCT since late July. Has anyone been using the entire Ovation line, the shampoo, cell therapy, and conditioner? Do you guys think I should switch to Megatek or just chill and be patient?

You are transitioning?
erplexed Your hair might be breaking at the demarcation line, esp. if you haven't upped your moisture levels since you started. I'd be patient, and be sure to keep your hair moist.

I just ordered my MT today, my final purchase before the buy nothing in September challenge begins 
I got two 16 oz bottles of the MT (including shipping and tax) for less than one 12 oz bottle of OCT. I had great results with the OCT, but if I get the same results with MT then I will never buy OCT again.

Hey Ladies,
I found some moisturizing conditioner today and it contains soy and wheat proteins. Do you think these proteins are too harsh to use with MT?
Thanks.
ETA: I am 7 weeks post and its soooo hard to part my hair when I apply my MT at night. I'm trying to stretch to 9 weeks but this MT is crazyyy!!

I didn't officially join the challenge because I know how inconsistent I am with things. This build-up is not helping! I had been washing once a week, but there's no way I can do this without washing twice a week. And since I use direct heat (yep, I admit it) that's not a good look.
JustKiya mentioned that she only uses a tablespoon on her whole head. Incredible!
I added a few drops of coconut oil to about 2 oz of MT on Saturday. Since then, I've used about a quarter of that mixture, applying daily. I guess I'm using too much. I've also read that some people mix 50/50 with a diluting agent (oil, water, conditioner). Is that still effective? I guess I've been of the opinion that the more MT I use, the better my results will be.

How much of them? Soy & Wheat can both be moisturizing proteins, in that they help the hair hold onto more moisture. I'd try it, and see what your hair thinks of it.
Maybe I'm not using enough! I don't know - I don't like build-up (or daily washing) so I try to use the least possible.....I do want, though, to up my percentage of MT in my next mix.

WoW, Rhapsdyblu..I definitely see great improvements!!! Thanks for your compliment. I think consistency is the key to success with these products. Sometime I feel like my bangs are not growing like the rest of my hair...but I plan to pay special attention to that area and continue being consistent w/ applications...one day they'll catch...I speak it; and believe it
.....sorry so long

Still no growth. I'm becoming less and less regular with the applications though, so i have to absorb some of the blame for non-activity.

Trini, you have to use the product for at best 3 months. Just use and focus on something else.
A watched pot never boils.

Trudy - they CUT your hair for a touch-up?
I'm so sorry to hear that
And I have the itchies out. of. this. WORLD. Aahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trudy, I had to have my hair cut too. Don't mourn it. Just move forward. It was hair that had to go...
Uuuhhhh.... JustKiya.

JN, did you color your hair? It looks sooooo dark and lush in that second pic, kinda like my updated pic. Even my grays have toned down. My 10 year old niece says they are looking gold now ( I think they actually look brown though, not gold
). I was happy to hear this in any case. I noticed that they don't pop like they used to, YAY!!!

I don't knooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww. I've taken pictures, and I look at them, and go 'eh'. Based on the pictures, you really (I really) wouldn't think that my hair has grown much, at all, but I can tell that it has. It feels kinda - meh. I don't know. I'm really happy with my hair and the progress, but I don't feel like the pictures show JACK. *sigh*
at hair. MT seriously has me almost, kinda sorta, maybe damnnear, wanting to press my hair. *sigh* *siiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhhhhh*

Why don't you press it for the last and final reveal for this year JK? I think it's fitting to end the year with a bang, wouldn't you say
? Let us see whatever progress you have now in any case. We know how much shrinkage really doesn't show your real progress. It's okay honey, show us anyway.ETA: I mean look at me, I got thickness more so than length, and to be quite frank, it's what I really wanted anyway. The length I know will come but the thickness is very hard to get for me. So overall, I am deliriously happy

Yes I did! I am a indigo girl!
A week ago I gave myself a treatment.I've been using henna and indigo and cassia since 2/2007. I think I am going to start using cassia in place of henna with my indigo.
