I suspect I'm going to try it. What I'm going to do though, is just use it on/in one area of my hair - maybe right behind my ear, so if something crazy happens, it'll be contained.
I've got a couple bottles of MT - I don't have enough patience to wait til I'm allllll done with it.
Let us know how it goes
I, too, am struggling to make it to 12 weeks and I'm only at 9 weeks. This is a new thing for me, as I can usually stretch for 4 months at a time, since my hair is so fine. I'm struggling to make it this time, though. My hair in my avy is 8 weeks post. I hope that I can hold on. Something's definitely happening with my hair and it's a good thing. I no longer shed and have no breakage!!
Are you taking garlic pills or using garlic shampoos or conditioners? We can hang for 2/3 more weeks, unless we get breakage of course but I doubt that. ooohhhh, I can't wait to see your update. I bet you'll be just about APL
Im on day 2 and Ive got the itchies too.Today was my first day using MT and i've got the itches like it aint nobody's business!and it must be my imagination cause ask me why i feel a little tiny curl coming up from under my braids?? this MT betta stop playing with my head
i'm posting my starting pic. its the top view of my braids.
I said a prayer for you. 
This has been a very difficult month for me and I hope that as the month ends, so does all of my bad luck. I lost my father, got laid-off, my DH and I split up and he is moving out amongst a bunch of other lil things that have gone wrong. I'm trying to have faith in God and know that there is a purpose to all of this and trying to find the lesson, but it has been very difficult and i'm trying to not get depressed.
On a hair note, I went to get a professional touch-up and it was a reminder of why i stopped going to salons in the first place. The lady was so rough with my head and ripped out half of my hair. Thank God I have a thick head of hair because I would literally be bald, she was so rough. But on a high note, my hair is just a few inches short of bsl so I'm hoping that by next check in, I will be there already. Lets hope.
Thats all.

explosiva - what a stressful, stressful period for you - I'm sorry for all of your losses, and I know there is a purpose to this rough period of pain for you. You will be aiight, sista. 
Its funny how things seem to happen at the same time.
I know that your faith in God will get you through because he has a plan for you and knows where you are right now and where he wants you to be.
I know that you will get through this so I will just say you may not get it when you want it but God is always on time so keep the faith! Peace.
erplexed - and I DC with a moisturizing conditioner and next thing I know, I have 1" broken strands on my hands. Well, actually, it wasn't that bad, but I freak out anytime I see breakage, and I could just run my hands over my hair and find a broken hair.
Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't do it.
I decided to prepoo with Joico Kpak - just for shyts and giggles
I had to sit with a moisturizing DC on my head ALL DAY Saturday to reduce the breakage. I can still "feel" the protein in my hair - as it feels wiry almost - the breakage has slowed, but I'm NEVER doing that again.
I'm guessing the runoff from the MT was enough protein for me.

Thank you, sweetness!I'm praying that I can make it. I've been doing Alter Ego Garlic Treatments once a week or once every 2 weeks. Too much protein is not good for my hair at all. Stepping up my CW's as well. I have about 2.5 inches of NG so I sure that I'm APL non-relaxed. After so many setbacks, cutting, trimming, if I'm not full APL by the end of the summer, it's a wrap. Right now, I'm happy that my hair is finally thickening up and healthy. At this point, I'd rather have healthy hair that's not thin, lifeless or fine than long hair. Your hair is looking fabulous, by the way!!
To Explosiva, I am praying for you, girl!!

Thank you for the compliment. 2.5 inches of ngOh yah, you're definitely at APL. Ummmm, I think I'm relaxing Friday. I have a date for Saturday and I want to wear my hair down
for the first time in a year
I hope that is growth trying to shoot through my scalp.
I'm not a brandjunkie, but I think I'm experiencing what it means to fall in love with a 'line'. 
erplexed I got a relaxer on the 29th of May and it is June 30th (lets just say a month, 4 weeks) later...I don't begin to get the "newgrowth explosion" until about a month and a half, two months. :SYou will receive a flyer from OVATION with instructions OR you can read the instructions on the bottle. Their instructions are very simple (2 methods)
It's here on LHCF that many ladies are mixng in other ingredients, massaging in and leaving it in until their next wash day, etc.
- Daily use = Shampoo, rinse, apply Cell Therapy, wait 3-5 mnutes, rinse, apply creme rinse over the Cell Therapy, and rinse again.
- As a Treatment = Apply Cell Therapy to clean, wet scalp and length of hair. Leave in 1-2 hours or overnight. Rinse.
I do not. I have been following the instructions sent with the product for the most part. I got crazy for a minute and pulled my Mega-Tek out and started massaging it into my scalp every night, but that's more activity than I have time for, so I went back to basics. I am very pleased with how my hair is doing so far, so I will just let it do what it do.
I am relaxed by the way.
(I currently have a weave as a protective style). I am totally in shock!!! I've only had my weave in for two weeks, and it already looks like I need to take it down. I used 4% MN with my Carol's Daughters Hair Elixir. I figured it contained all of the natural oils, and I wanted to use what I already had rather than spend the extra money. Thanks again!!
Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't do it.
