I'm not as good to my hair as I should be.
I'm part of the Deep condition for growth challenge, (
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=227159) so I make it a point to deep condition twice a week.
Since I started MT ( 1 oz olive oil/1 oz castor oil, 2 oz mega Tek) I use it on my scalp every night, and every 3 days, I wash with diluted garlic poo and deep condition with Alter Ego garlic. Then I put on the Mega Tek to my scalp and smooth my hair back and do a twisted pin up. I only let it down to apply the Mega Tek nightly and right back up it goes. I also moisturize nightly with Mane and Tail Castor or Olive oil creme and put a bit of olive oil to "seal" it in, twist it up, and tie it down with a scarf.
I've been horrible with my biotin and garlic pills. A week ago, a garlic pill got stuck in my throat and 3 days after I felt that stuck in your throat feeling. By then it was gone, but it seemed to have scratched going down. It's all better now, but that's what I get for not taking it with enough water.
I'm afraid to take them now, they're HUGE! Some days, I go under the water and just wash my hair with water alone when it's not a DC/wash day. When my hair feels dry, I "baggy with a small plastic bag. I just add my hair cream, oil oil to seal and put the baggy on. My hair is so moist the next day!
Hope that helps. A great helper to me has been Aggie.
