Oh, yeah, you could easily go darker (or even henna!) and be able to see the difference, no problem.
*sigh* I wish I had lighter hair, so often.

I'm so enjoying my journey with OCT and MT. Even if my hair doesn't grow anymore from these growth aides (but, I know it will
) I like that its making my hair much healthier and thicker than it ever has been before.
I am also enjoying the journey with all of you who too are participating and using it...it makes using it that much more enjoyable!
Seeing all the progress with the pics are great too! You ladies that are just beginning....you just continue to be consistent and you too will see much change taking place with your hair.
Just wanted to share with you all...you all are very special people!
Blessings to you, always!

Foxie, this is normal only if you wear your hair down a lot and it's constantly sweeping across your neck and shoulders. What is happening here is that because of the friction, your hair could very well be breaking off in those little pieces without you knowing it. Try to keep your hair off your neck, shoulders and clothes as much as possible to prevent friction breakage, okay? I believe it's safer to wear your hair down more often after you've passed APL without so much breakage. Does this make sense at all?

I'm looking for a good DC to use with MT but with all of this "protein-overload" talk 
that I've read recently, I'm a little nervous to use what I already have. I have a few cholesterol condishes and a few ORS replenishing packs. Are these safe to use with MT or do you think this is too much protein?
TIA

i think i read somewhere that ORS replenishing pack is a light protein so you might want to steer clear of that one

My scalp's sore. No itching or shedding but it's sore. Oh I should clarify what I mean by sore... tender is probably a better word. I'm always tenderheaded for a few days after removing braids. That's what it feels like. It doesn't hurt like I've been cut or hit with bat. It's just tender like it's been braided for a long time.
ETA: I've been using MT for the last two weeks. With OCT I had awesome growth but my head was tender in the crown, itched and I had a lot of shedding.

Hey ladies. Just checking in to say hello. All is ok with me as I am adapting to my new life. I'm still applying the mt to my scalp nightly and my scalp is quite tender so I am as gentle as possible as I mega'sag my scalp but I can't do it for too long as it starts to hurt. My hair is about 2-3 inches from reaching bsl so I'm excited about that. My ultimate goal is waist length and I hope that by next year I'm there with the help of the mighty MT and u ladies.
Oh, Pantene came out with a new product to help with breakage and retain length. Has anyone tried it? I'm trying to find a great moisturizer with no protein. Help!
Gracias

You have had great growth too. And Justkiya is right it does look thicker. I love the black color. You really are making me want to revisit HIN. What is your OCT regimen?
Nothing special. Apply at least 6 days a week to scalp. Normal daily moisturizing and sealing. I like to co-wash at least 5 days a week. One day during the week I apply OCT all over the hair. No heat for summer. Bun and go. Thats it!

Ok, I've been reading here that ladies are experiencing itching and soreness. I've been using MT since Wednesday and haven't experienced any of this. Does that mean it's not working? Or will I experience the soreness and itchies after a few weeks.
I diluted my MT with a little bit of water and mixed with oils and silk amino acids. FYI- I'm currently have a sew in.

I'm not sure - I was thinking about this some more, and I think that there is a thread, around here somewhere (started by Sistaslick, I think) that details how you can determine if a DC is a 'protein' DC.
Also, you can definitely listen to your hair - if it starts to act a little protein-rich after you use it, then you definitely know it's too much for your hair.
No, it doesn't mean that it's not working - someone who had great results never got the itchies/soreness - I don't remember who, though.
I just finished DC'ing my hair with a caramel treatment (I really need to do these more often! I'm thinking about doing them every weekend, and making my mid-week DC the 'easier' one. I can also sleep in the midweek one.
I mega'sagged on a wet scalp, and now I'm letting it air dry in 8 fat braids.

I am noticing the itchies now.
It was more pronounced today. I just washed my hair yesterday and I applied the MT last night. I have been itching my head all day...feels like I got the creepies....are you ladies washing your hair again when it starts itching?

I'm not. I've found though, that a quick scalp massage soothes the itchies like NOTHING else.

Oh..
I was trying not to touch my scalp because it started the tender feeling a couple of days ago and I didnt want to mess with it fearing the worse. I'll give it a try.

Do any of you guys that are experiencing the tenders/itchies have a virbrating hair brush? I wonder if using that brush would help with tenderness and/or increase or stimulate growth. I would use my vibrating hair brush with my mega tek but it seems like the USPS/horseloverZ.com would rather sit on my products then send them to me so that I can use them.

humm...not sure if it'll be worth spending the money cause I just massaged my scalp for a few min like JK recommended and I can say that the itching has stopped and I do feel a difference in the tenderness because my blood is circulating.

well my brush was only $5.00 but free massages beat out a $5.00 brush any day.

Thanks! I'll see if I can find that info.
Thank caramel treatment sounds good! I'll have to try that one too.

i think they must have had to pull it out of the crack of their behinds, then walk it over to egypt and then send it to me. i mean i only ordered on the 24th of june and its only the 5th of july. i call them but they don't seem to be in a hurry to send me my stuff, i guess its b/c they already have my money.
