*chants that quietly to self*

You are so right! I have progress in that my hair isn't breaking the way it was. I have progress in that my hair is smoother and stronger and moister than it was before. Health before length, health before length, health before length.

*pout*

I'm just being bratly, is all. Thanks so much for the :realitycheck: ya'll....

:lachen::lachen::lachen: You are too much JK!
 
I just got 3 (2 oz) jars of megatek coat rebuilder. I have 12 more on the way. It has a nice, rich and creamy consistency and smells like coconuts. I just got through applying it to my scalp and massaging it in.

Can I join to or be an unofficial member?

Welcome Welcome! PM Dontspeakdefeat if you want to be added to the list on the front page - if you'd rather be a floater, then welcome & float on! ;)
 
Okay. Here we go. *sigh*

*displeased glare*

My hair almost looks shorter in the August picture. I did take one stretched & held on my back picture in July, and I'll try to take a mimic next weekend - but I don't know if it's going to show much.

Now, I will give you, my hair is fuller - you can see that I've got more of a 'triangle' shape on the second pic than the first - and both of these were freshly dried hair just pulled out of my 'drying braids', so it's not like I had more 'air' in there.

Now - and I know, if someone else was saying this.... :look: I would most likely be thinking 'Urmhm, booboo, it's okay, breakage/slow growth happens to erryone - you ain't gotta lie to kick it' - but - seriously, I can tell that my hair has grown.
I can do a full ponytail - as in, all of my hair is IN the ponytail, without giving me perma-arched eyebrows trying to pull back the hair from my front hairline. There's simply MORE hair - it's thicker - and it's actually HOT now - I have to put it up when it's out, because otherwise I feel like it's smothering me. I can do fewer 'washtwists' (I'm down to 6 now!) without them just 'boinging' apart as they shrink. I can see all this stuff in my day to day maintaince (okay, okay, week to week) but the pictures? Meh.

And the fact that it's almost impossible for me to take pictures of the back of my head anymore is another big sign - I really need to ask DH to help, but he's usallly all :rolleyes: about my hair stuff, and I'm so danngone picky...... *sigh*

:look: So. There are my sad, sad 'progress' pictures. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? :thud: way to go!!!! :up: :pepper:
There is a marked difference in thickness and length JustKiya! AND it does NOT look shorter. Step away from the computer screen/mirror and take a second look. :yep:

Now don't be like some folks that think their hair should be down around their ankles after 2 weeks of using the products :rolleyes:. I bet when you straighten your hair in December for length check, you will have the most growth ever as a member of this challenge. :grin:

Mine detangles easier, too! :yep: It seems like every time I do it, it's a tiny bit easier. *hope*

*grin* Ya'll are gonna talk me into getting my hair straightened, ain'tcha? Maybe for my birthday (Jan 13) I'll get it done. :yep:

:bighug:

Thank you all, seriously. :giggle: Sometimes you really can't see things until someone else points it out.
 
:bighug: Thank you Aggie!!! We can be our own worse critics, you know, and now that you metion it, I definitely see the increased shine too - you are absolutely right.
:yep: I know I haven't been as consistent as I should be (on for a week, off for a week, on for three weeks, off for two :nono:), and I will be tweaking my next mix to have a larger percentage of MT in it. I'm not going to stop using, at all, because my hair is SO happy with it - I just want it to grow like 4 inches in a month! :lol: :fistshake:[/quote]

:lachen::lol:This is too funny but you are welcomed honey.
 
Welcome, welcome!! There is a thread around here too, with a listing of regimens in it so that you don't have to run a thread search - I'll see if I can bump it for you.

Okay, I don't have pics of my hair, but I do, finally, have good pics of how much MT I use at a time. :lol: I pulled out a tablespoon first, and I looked at it, and I was like - there is NO WAY I use that much on my head. Then I pulled out the 1/2 tablespoon, and I was like - maybe. MAYBE.

I was so wrong.

Anyhow.

2823210407_bf2a3f20a8_m.jpg


Is what I started with. And I used, what was to me, A LOT. My head was throbbing a little, and I felt the MTingles too, afterwards. I know I went over a couple of parts twice (my hair is in two strand twists, so it's 'pre-parted'), and I did my hairline twice, plus my nails and my eyebrows......... and this is how much I had left.

2823212081_6204dc93a8_m.jpg


I didn't even use half of it. I would guess that a 1/2 tablespoon (1.5 teaspoons) would last me for about 4 days, or so - so, I guess I use 1/3 teaspoon at a time.

That's why I don't have buildup, and I don't worry, so much, about getting it onto my hair - I am truly using just a TINY bit at a time. :lol: It's also why my bottles last sooooooo long. ;) I really cant imagine using the whole 1/2 tbsp on my hair - I wouldn't be able to rub it all in!!!

Having seen that though, I'm definitely upping the percentage of MT in my mix - I think I'm going to change it around a little, but I don't know. I tink I need a bigger tub. :lachen:

I use a tablespoon and a half for hair and scalp. :yep:
 
Is anyone using the entire Ovation line--the shampoo, cell therapy, and conditioner?

I have been using the cell therapy since July with a garlic shampoo and a garlic conditioner and I haven't noticed any growth. I'm not sure if it is because I'm going natural and my ends are probably shedding or if the product just doesn't work for me. I just picked up a bottle of alter ego cren's. i hope that will make a positive difference.

Girl, how!?? I mean, without it getting on your hair? Or does it get on your hair, and you just don't worry about it? I seriously couldn't imagine using the whole measure, much less 3 times more! :thud:

I need details. :detective:

I can definitely see some increased length :yep: And did you dye it, too? I'm trying to tell if it's the color throwing me off, or if it's really that much thicker, too!! :lachen:
 
I dyed it red. Thanks for the support, you have been so helpful to me on my hair journey! My hair has gotten very thick!!!:grin:

I also use the entire ovation line and I started in August. Remember you must at least give the products a minimum of 90 days for real visible results. I have seen some results of thickness from the MT and I am certain that the OCT will give me the length I desire. Just be a little more patient.
