Okay, I had to go and dig back through the old thread to find out when I made my 'new' mix.
I posted about it on 5/7, so lets' say I mixed it up around then, and I just used the last of it last night.
I also discovered last night that I was using a FOUR ounce container, not EIGHT like I thought it was - so I went through 4 ounces in 2 months (give or take a week). 2 ounces a month, one bottle should last me at least 6 months.
That's not bad at, ALL.
Anyhow, I thought I would grab my updated recipe (I think the one in the first post doesn't have the honeyquat in it) and adjust it for four ounces instead of the eight I thought it was.....
I'm mixing mine in a 4 oz tub now and in that tub I add 2 capfuls of castor oil, 20 squirts of Vitamin E oil, 4 capfuls of SAA and 6 capfuls of Honeyquat. Mix all that together, and then mix in the megatek. I really like it!
So. *thinks* I know that the little red capfuls are 1/8 teaspoon...... so that's 1/2 teaspoon of SAA and 3/4 teaspoon of Honeyquat. I think it's roughly (eyeballed) the same amount of castor oil & vitamin E oil, and I think one of those capfuls of castor oil was 1/4 teaspoon, so 1/2 teaspoon CO and 1/2 teaspoon Vit. E.
Hrrm. 6 teaspoons is an ounce, and I'm using a total of 2.25 teaspoons of 'add-ins', which is a tiny bit under 1/2 an ounce, so I'm using a total (roughly) of 3.5 ounces of Mega-Tek per mix.
So.
3/4 tsp Honeyquat
1/2 tsp SAA
1/2 teaspoon Castor Oil
1/2 teaspoon Vitamin E Oil
3.5 ounces MT
I mix the first four ingredients together in the tub, then add the MT to it.
I'm about to make another tub tonight, I think. I'm debating, though. I got the ingredient for the MoeGro stuff last night, and I want to give the oil at least a week to steep, and then I'm going to make another mix, using that oil as the base oil - but I'll only be using that on my hairline. Hrm.
I wanted to use the boosted mix for a month before I started using it on my whole head, so I'll need at
least 2 ounces of MT to get me through. Okay.
I'll make 2 ounces of the 'normal' mix tonight, and 2 ounces of the boosted mix next week... I suspect I'll know something for certain in 2-3 weeks on that one, so.... yeah.
That should work.
I posted all this here, hoping my rambling would help someone... I need to copy this over to my blog, too.
