Oh gosh. Don't scare me... I didn't really measure but I think I noticed pretty decent results with OCT and now I'm using MT (began early this month). I guess we'll have to wait and see, huh?

Checkin' in....still on MT, buuutttt....

I don't seem to be getting the same results that I did with OCT:ohwell:
I'm doing everything the same...but the growth is not there.:sad:

I used OCT 5 weeks and got and inch---i'm going onto week 3 with MT -so maybe I'm jumping the gun....but it doesn't seem like it.

I'm mad too, l:look:b/c MT is sooo much cheaper and tons of folks have gotten good results with it. I know, diff. products for diff heads--but darn it!:grin:

But...guess I'll reserve my final decision until the 5 week mark......

Anyone else experience one products is better for them than the other????

I mentioned this above...there is something about MT in that it's dormant for a minute then all of a sudden your hair grows out the kazoo in days. Give it more time. You may not think it's growing. Trust me it is! It's probably making your hair thick first so it can do its thanng.

Also I think I over did it with oiling my scalp with jojoba, then I moisturized my hair with Hydratherma along with the MT. I will cut out oiling my scalp since I put 1/2 oz of the following (castor, jojoba, and EVOO). I'm looking too slick:rocker::lachen:. ok my 8 month old is trying to get the smileys

Me too! I use the daily growth lotion and it makes my hair so soft.

I thought AtOne wasn't really a reconstructor b/c it didn't contain any protein.

Actually I most humbly disagree as the AtOne Reconstructor is probably one of the mildest reconstructors known because the protein is derived from botanical plants such as as calendula, white nettle, cornflower, etc, via extracts. It has a wonderful balance of protein and moisture in it, ie, it moisturizes and reconstructs all at the same time. It reminds me of the aloe vera plant which is a hardcore protein (aloe barbedensis I think it's called) but many people don't know that it is a hardcore protein. Now the Rastafarians down here in the Bahamas use it raw on their dread locks because if it's strengthening abilities from the protein contained in it.

Umm, what type of "scalp issues" are you having Grace? Did it just start w/ the MT? Curious b/c I just started using it thursday. :look:
Click to expand...

I have eczema and REALLY sensitive skin. That's why I am probably having a reaction to the MT. I still plan on using it. I am just taking a hiatus for a week until I see my Dr.

Scalp issues aren't new for me. That's why I don't plan on stopping permanently.

My hair grew, so that's the bright side.
 
Good to hear....that is actually what kinda happened with the OCT. *sigh* I guess i'm just anxious after having such great results the first go round:spinning: I know my pocket will be happy if MT ends up working.....
Ok---i'll be checking in Sep 1 with the rest of u guys!:yep::yep:

I'm so thankful for the two of you. Thank you for taking care of this question. I'm not too schooled on advising those with relaxers.

I can't help but thank God for the two of you who always come to the rescue for everyone of us here.

Now I know why the Organix conditioner works so well for me as one of my conditioner washes * I have a lot of conditioners on hand *...the protein is mild...very mild. :yep:

You're quite welcomed honey. I, like JK, read labels and ingredients for a long time in the BSS. Half the time the print of the ingredients are so fine, it's the main reason it takes me a while too.
 
I posted in the DC challenge that as of tonight, I'll be off in Canada for 2 weeks on vacation and will be thinking about you ladies while I'm gone. I will try to find some internet access and try to check in at least once before I get back home. Take care ladies until I get back, okay?
 
JustKiya said:
Girl, don't even feel bad!!! I'll be in the BSS for 45 minutes or more, reading labels. I know they think I'm trying to scope them out or something, but ;) I really think my hair is worth it, ya know?

You're just starting out - soon, it'll be almost second nature!! :yep:
Click to expand...

OMG, this week I went into the BSS and spent forever reading labels each day. One of the employees was watching me hard. :nono: All I bought was a scarf one day and round brush the next day so that they wouldn't think that I was stealing! :yawn:

Oh, sorry to hear that hun. Best of luck w/ your doctor''s appointment. And by all means, CONGRATS on your progress :yep:
 
ugh i have bad news... i'm going to the salon on tuesday... im pretty much being forced to and theres no way out of it without creating a huge deal, which is not worth doing...

i just had a relaxer a couple weeks ago so i guess i'll just be getting it straightened...

my hair is so uneven that i know any decent stylist is going to want to cut it... which i do not want to do right now... or know what i can even get done to it so itll look nice, i guess curls... idk... i may end up getting it cut after all

:sad::sad::nono::nono::nono: *sigh*
 
trinidarkie1 said:
what's wrong? Were you trying to avoid using heat?
Click to expand...

well yeah. my initial concern was that i know a stylist will want to cut my hair and i dont want to cut it right now, even though i know it needs to be cut. but also, im working out pretty much every day and its going to sweat out and revert and look like crap again within two or three days... its just going to be a huge waste of time, and damage. unfortunately, as much as id like to, it cannot be avoided. maybe i will just be fat and gross for a week for the sake of a stupid hairdo. ugh. :barf::barf::barf::barf:

If it needs to be cut because of health, please cut! However, if the ends are fine, don't cut (unless you want to) Find a style that can hide the unevenness and not damage your hair.

ok...so first things first I am on my phone browsing LHCF (dont say a word!!!) but I had to post this update. I put in kinky twists the weekend of the 12th of july, began mt on the 14th (every other night) and took out my kinky twists today cause ugh...i felt so gross with my scalp not showing anymore and all. I was just gonna measure and redo some but I said screw it...now my scalp and hair are singing cause I am airdrying under the ceiling fan. ahhhhhhhback to my point...when I was taking them out I noticed a little breakage but nothing too too bad...if I redo them maybe I will use a protein condish first. my shedding seemed real normal, I took a pic and will post in my fotki tomorrow. I took a ruler and grabbed my sister so she could verify and got to measuring. I did 7 different ones to allow for slipping of the twists and the fact that some of you mentioned 'growth spurts'...but no matter where all my measurements ranged from 1/2in to 7/8in. here are the numbers: 7/8in, 9/16in, 3/4in, 1/2in, 5/8in, 5/8in, 3/4in. I tried to take pics showing where my hair hit on the ruler but my camera sucks. all I could get were a few showing the diff between how long my hair was in certain spots (i haven't straightened since before my bc but I might this week to get a new length pic). there is this really great one of the front, where my bangs hit right between my eyes 2 weeks ago and now they pass the end of my nose, and actually touch my top lip in some places. again sorry for the lack of pics but I will be back tomorrow!

Well you guys I guess it wasn't meant for me to do this Mega-Tek thing. I ordered my bottle on 11 July and I don't have it as of today. I know that this is sad but I have not left the house before 4pm in a week because I am afraid I will miss the post man. It is now Monday 28 July 717pm and I dont have it. I really want to cry cause I have not even had a chance to see if it would work for me.:cry: I don't know whatelse to say so I guess I will wish all of you happy hair growing ladies.


OH and if the post man comes I am going to give him a really dirty look then probably hug him but for now I give up.

girl, - I waited 3 1/2 weeks for mine. Only used it a week. Now that I relaxed, I can really track the growth. I felt the same as you. You'll be fine once you get it. I was all mad, like don't they know I'm on a plan???????
 
Same thing happened to me. I used OCT and after about 4 weeks of use I started to get 1" growth per month (so after the 1st month I started getting 1" per month from 2nd month onwards, my usual growth is less than 1/2"/month). I then switched to MT and used for a 4-6 weeks and did not get any growth spurt at all (maybe I would have seen progress if I waited another 4 weeks?). I am back on OCT now (did not like MT) but dont think I will be getting 1" a month because I have been slacking off and applying 2-4 times per week instead of every day as I initially did.

Oh dear-this is not good news! Me afriad. I think I have gotten growth from ovation, I used for about 3.5 weeks while in cornrows. (I'm hesistant to say anything, but it reallys seems I got some growth. i recently started using mega tek and have been using it for half a week. I knew it was a bad idea to use two things at once, (if it works you wont know which one)

I still have alot of ovation left. i think I will mis some and use it every other day if need be! :wallbash:
 
Darn this hair forum and my product junkie urges! Couldn't stay away cause this thread is always at the top of the new posts.Then ya'll have pics up too. I was doing good and saving my little money. Well I ordered today! I got the megatex from hopes braids. I'm so excited, little worried about the shedding though I already shed like a small animal.
 
It would have been nice for them to give you an email update or something. Geez. :ohwell:

Yeah I called easpet store and they said that they had had some problems getting it from the warehouse that took 2 weeks and they said they shipped it a week ago but I haven't gotten it yet.:nono:
