I'm using OCT that I have mixed castor oil into. I've had some breakage of long strands in the last week that don't include the bulb (YIKES 
).
I was going to do a henna treatment but now I'm afraid. Any suggestions? thanks ladies.

Genius never dies!
I'm so happy for you girl! I'm glad that you have found something that works....I know I am happy. If you are having this much success, stick with it. I know you ordered the Bee-Mine and the OCT...but, I would wait if I were you. Sometimes I think we might mess up a good thing with too many things, ya know?
When you get the other items in, keep it for awhile and continue to use the MT and see how it continues to work for you, getting your hair in optimal condition FIRST...then, slowly add one or the other (BeeMine or OCT) into the mix...don't use too many, I feel so strongly about this
Besides that, I believe it because I experience it...just some normal shedding, but nothing outrageous at all!
Keep on growing girl....healthy and strong!!!
This is great advice! Thank you for reminding me not to stop what is working. I will definitely heed that advice and keep doing what I'm doing. I may try just alternating the MT with OCT every other week. One week use the MT mixture, the next week use OCT mixed with castor oil. Continue my garlic treatments. Don't use the Bee Mine product for awhile, especially until *after* I relax next month. You're so right. I just want to keep it simple, allowing my hair to continue on down the path towards ultimate health. The garlic treatments have done wonders. I take Solgar Garlic gel tabs and they have been remarkable. I think I'm doing enough. Keeping it simple!!
Thanks, Big Sis!!

How often are you deep conditioning and moisturizing your hair? Perhaps you should consider reducing how many time per week you are using the OCT for now, crank up the DCing and then go back to your normal routine after your hair has normalized. Also, how often are you clarifying your hair?

so i applied my first app of MT and mixed it with Narobi essential oil, olive oil, kemi oyl n jojoba oil, i made a 2 oz mixture and i applied it very lightly to the scalp. I am currently wearing a wet wrap but i may take it down after its about 90% dry and flat iron and rewrap it.. it smells soo nice and calm . i am loving this

Sorry I don't come in here much ladies.... you all be talking up a storm up in here! LOL it's hard to keep up. Anyway, I think I would notice more progress if I was more consistent in using my MT- I actually put a reminder on my phone to remind me to do it daily! I been slipping... but Idk, my hair so short right now I wonder if I'd notice anything anyway.

I DC once a week and I clarify with Ojon detox shampoo every 2 weeks. Maybe I should start DCing 2x a week and clarify 1ce a week.

No you shouldn't clarify once a week, I clarify every 3 weeks normally but since I've been on the MT challenge I've been mildly clarifying my hair every 2 weeks, ie, using diluted clarifying poo. My Nutrine garlic poo is a mild clarifying poo and I usually apply it or another clarifying poo once every 2 weeks. I keep up more frequently with my other garlic treatments and supplements. You say you're having some breakage, then try DCing more often as well.

I DC about 2x a week but I always mist my scalp for moisture when using the OCT (2-3x per week). However, I haven't clarified in ages. Maybe I'll try that tonight.
As usual - thanks for the tip Aggie!!

Aggie got it - up your DC and make sure you are being LIGHT FINGERED with this! You do not, not, not need to use a lot - I use it daily and I use about 1/2 ounce a week - and I got a big ole head.
Light application, ladies, light! The more you apply, the more of a risk you are running of getting it further up your hair strand rather than just on your scalp, and 
we don't want that happening! Also, I wouldn't do the henna treatment - my personal thought is to NEVER do henna when I even vaguely suspect I might have protein related breakage....
I'd up the DC's (maybe even slide in an overnight one) until the breakage stops (shouldn't take long since ya'll hopped on it right away), and then make sure that ya'll are keeping up your moisture.
Have you checked/vetted your other products for protein levels?

I got my MMMTTT, I got my MMMTTT . Remember Eddie Murphy in Raw or was that Delirious? LOL. Anyway, I found it at a pet/livestock supply store here in Conyers, literally 5-10 minutes away from me. Why oh why didn't I jump on this earlier . I'm in the process of perfecting my mix. In an applicator bottle I put 2 oz MT and 1 capful of honeyquat (thanks JK
). I was thinking about adding castor oil for thickening purposes since the front of my hair is still thin despite being 24 weeks post. But now I'm thinking of adding a couple of squirts of CD hair elixer since I saw someone else mention it here. :scratchch I've been trying to think of ways to get rid of it. So when I get home I'll either add that or castor oil to the mix. Then I'll alternate weeks so the products will last longer. Thanks for this suggestion N&W .
Lets get it, ladies!! Long, healthy, strong hair that is.
Pretend the candy bar is a bottle of OCT or MT.

Hi ladies,
Is their anyone using the 3 step ovation system or are you just using the OCT. If you only using the OCT, what shampoo and conditioners are you using.
Please help!

*sticks fingers in hair*
Yup. I have a minifro under there. :/ Thankfully, my newgrowth is managable and I can smooth it back into a bun/twist up no problem.
MT is causing issues, y'all! I have twice gone FIVE DAYS without washing because I don't have any more flaking like I used to 3 days post. I do get the itchies like clockwork on day 5, though.
The great thing is, I used to have a dry patch right around the front of my hair. Since using MT, it's GONE, GONE, GONE!!! I'm so happy!!! I can't wait until August when I get my relaxer so I can see the growth!

You know I got your back, lil sis.
Listen...the alternating sounds great...that's what I do and I think I might try this as well...MT one week and then OCT the other instead of every other day, just to see how it works. If I get any major changes in any way, I'm going right back to what I have been doing!I'm going to pick up some Garlic pills. Where do you get yours from?

Ok. So the first month I had no shedding or itching. Now, my hair is shedding and the itch is uncontrollable. Even after washing and clarifying, the itch is real bad. I'm about to rip my hair out.

Thanks JustKiya and Aggie, I usually DC every wednesday, but I'll do an overnight DC tonight and then DC again tomorrow with the hooded dryer. When I started OCT (jun 30th) I used to DC with Silicon mix but it has Keratin in it. But now I DC with NTM deep recovery mask. And I also cowash every other day with HE HY. I am skeptical about the Garlic pills (don't like ingesting too many vits), but I'll go to whole foods tomorrow and buy some Kyolic Garlic supps.
I can feel my NG though, one again thank u all u ladies r angels.
God bless u all!

Hrrm- have you changed anything? Started using any new products? Even the same products, but a new bottle?
How often are you applying it? Maybe step it down for a few?
Have you tried massaging your scalp/gently pulling your hair to tug your scalp?

I was going to ask the same questions, JK
I'm wondering if she added any other type of growth aid in addition to this or something. If not, then I suggest she stops using for awhile, and then resume to see if it happens again.
