Thanks JustKiya.

I hate to admit it but I have been WAY off track with my hair journey and of course I'm now suffering the consequences. :nono:But I'm ready to jump back on the horse and I'm sure this time will be much better. I still have my bottle of megatek so I'll be digging into that tonight.Hope everyone's having a fabulous day!
 
JustKiya....girl, your hair is not sad, it's thick and I know it grew alot, you just have lots of shrinkage, just like me!

I have to say your hair looks soooooo good. Now, although it has gotten thicker, I would say for you to now stop diluting the MT with all of the different products (oils, etc.) and just oil your scalp and apply the MT. I know its a pain in the behind to do it that way, but you will get greater results (length). I think what happens when you dilute it (mix it) with other things, something gets lost...and the results aren't the same. I'm noticing a trend in the women who do it the way you do it, and the women who apply it the way I do. It's just an observation, but I see a difference.

Try it for the next 3 months and see if there be a difference. Just add it to your nighttime prep (wash face, brush teeth, apply MT)...I'm so use to doing it now that it has become the "norm" for me. The only time I don't apply it is when my hair is straight.

I'm proud of you doing your reveal. You are doing great, trust me.

Luv ya!

*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:

:yep: As soon as I'm done with my current 'mix', I'm going to change it so that it is mostly (if not all) MT. The stuff straight out of the bottle is a little too thick for me, so I'll be putting a couple of dabs of oil (I'd like to use emu oil!) in it - but I'm going to stop the SAA and Honeyquat and Vit. E oil, altogether. :yep: :bighug: Thank you hunny, and I really do agree, shrinkage is a blip!

Oh! Another thing! Since I did that 'extra' heavy application of MT on - Tues? I think it was, my head has been itching. up. a STORM. Srsly. I haven't had the itchies this bad in a while! :yep: Ya'll gonna see me in December! :lol:

Hey JustKiya,

You may want to try to thin out Mega Tek out with plain water, and not oils.

I do this because my scalp does not like oils......so I just add my MT and water to an applicator bottle and shake to mix.

It will be a lot easier to apply and if I let it sit it gets as creamy as the original bottle.

Your hair look thick and ends look healthy! We naturals may not show that "hang" appeal like strengthen hair, but it is definitely growing! :yep:

I am very excited about this challenge. I ordered OCT on Tuesday and MT today! I have my hair cut pretty short in January and am ready to grow it using these products. I have 3a hair, so I can't put too much in without it getting weighed down.

Oooh, that's a good thought!! The only reason I wanted to use emu, is because it's supposed to help strengthen & stimulate the follicles. I'm always trying to get two for the price of one! :lol:

OMG, I was cowashing just now & detangling with my denman. After detangling, for some reason, not sure why 'cause I usually do not do this, but I brushed all my wet-full-of-conditioner hair back and I pulled it into a ponytail. A small one, but ya'll, it was hanging. I have been concentrating on my hairline so much, I wasn't really paying close attention to length. I got a pony. I got a pony. Shrinkage sure is deceiving.

YES!!!!

Ok maybe this is why I'm not seeing the growth as quickly as the other ladies. I only put 1oz castor oil and 1oz jojoba oil and 4oz MT. I'm going to test just straight MT and see what happens. Thanks for the tip

Make sure your scalp/hair is clean for penetration and don't forget to use your favorite moisturizer after. :yep: Good luck!

Urmmmhmm. She is, and she likes rubbing it in that she can get REAL cheesesteaks and tastykakes and I can't. :cry: Thas aiight, I'm finna have my momma send me a whole BOX of Herr's, and then I'll be crunching and eating my fake Cheesesteak and :giggle: with her.

:look: The meanie. :rofl:

This talk makes my mouth water. :lick: What are tastykakes?
 
JustKiya said:
They are all different kinds of snackcakes, that are only sold in the Philly/TriState area. :drool: The Butterscotch Cream and the Fudge Brownies are my personal favorites.

:lick: Besides jumping on the first thing smokin' to Philly, how do I get this? :lick:
 
JustKiya said:
:look: See, okay.

First, your hair is PIN straight in the first pic. In the second set, you've got a rollerset, and you hair is a tiny bit longer. HOWEVER. A rollerset (which looks goooood, by the by) means that your hair is not pin straight, and thus there was definitely even more growth than we can see. :look: I'd like to see what your hair looks like pin straight, now. :yep:



Girl! Okay, you are getting it all kinds of on your hair! :lachen: Gotcha, gotcha - that makes sense, then.



I wanted to give a HUGE :bighug: to everyone - ya'll don't know how seriously mopey I was over my progress pics, and ya'll and your kinds words & PM's have just been - wonderful. From my heart, srsly, ya'll ROCK. :bighug: :love3:

Hmmm, right back at ya, JK :bighug:.

Hey Guys,

I tried to fight it but I could not resist any longer. I've crossed over to the dark side. :lachen::lachen::lachen:I just placed my order for Mega Tek (thanks to peer pressure from Aggie :grin:). I'm so excited. Now I just have to purchase my non-protien deep conditioner. Whoooo hoooo!!!!!

Yay!!! Welcome finally wannabelong. It's great to have you a part of the MT/OCT family. You will appreciate all the growth and thicknes you'll get with these 2 products:yep:.

I read through half this thread and it seems most of the ladies are just applying it to their scalp and leaving it in until the next wash. I'm sure one of the veterans will chime in if I'm incorrect. I hope this helps.
