I only experienced this on the first day of use. I have been using for a week now, i only get occasional tingles but i can def feel my new growth. Hopefully the soreness will pass.
Leona, don't be sadI'm trying to think how many times I would have to make this for it actually cover my big head and all my hair.
Just measure how much oil you think you'll need for your hair, then add a teaspoon of garlic for each two ounces of oil.
Example:
Two ounces of Oil -- add one (1) teaspoon of Garlic Powder.
Four ounces of Oil -- add two (2) teaspoons of Garlic Powder.
You shouldn't need more than four (4) ounces of oil for your hair. Focus on your scalp first then apply the rest of the Garlic / Oil mixture to your hair. You should have more than enough.
Feel Better now? I hope so.
It's not so hard, angel. 
Everyone is here to help you. Blessings and hugs to you.

I'm wearing a bun today, made of two strand twists. I'm excited that all my hair can get INTO a bun/ponytail, but I'm kinda 
about the size of the 'bun'. It's more of a 'b' really..... 
Esp. on my big ole head.
Ah, well, time will help.
And, I've decided to officially go back to two strand twists for the rest of the year - I started out on TST hard this year, then got lazy, but now I'm back on them - esp. since my hair is longer, so I can make them MUCH bigger, and it only takes me 1.5 hours to do it - I can live with that. And, it takes away an excuse to not megassage at night - my hair is pre-parted! It don't get no easier than that!

Actually you can leave it out overnight on your kitchen counter. It will be fine and it also gives the oil more time to absorb more of the garlic.
I have the Nutrine Garlic Shampoo and Conditioner, but I've only used them once. The garlic / oil really do such a wonderful job that I don't need the garlic Shampoo and conditioner at all.
The only commercial garlic hair product that I use is Alter Ego Garlic Creme Conditioner. It smells soft and fresh and it works great for shedding hair. But the homemade garlic / oil is very economical and it works!
It's a little messy (the oil runs down my neck) but it really, really works. The only thing you have to do is wash it out with a mild shampoo and use a conditioner afterwards. Happy Healthy Hair, Angel.

God bless you angel. You are such a blessing here to us. Just add some cinnamon to that 'bun', and call it "JustKiya's" Special Treat.
Trini, I love Wegman's. We have one in Maryland and I go there as often as I can. (I just wish they had a Wegman's in Jacksonville, Fla (home).
They do have a nice section with Essential Oils and the price is comparable to much of those online.

Okay so I had some minor dryness/breakage issues I noticed last night. I guess the Lekair thing with the MT wasn't such a good idea after all! 
So what I did was co-wash w/ Redken Smooth Down, DC'd with Lustrasilk shea butter mango/Pantene R&N for about 20 mins w/heat and about an hour w/out. I did a rinse out with Aussie Moist and used Butter Treat as a leave-in and viola! My hair is back to normal and all the breakage and dryness stopped. I'm happy now
I haveeee to get that garlic powder ASAP. I'm going to a restaurant by Whole Foods in a sec so I guess I will pick it up then.

Hey Shimmie,
Is this garlic powder the type you use to season foods with or is this a different type of powder?

Yes,
its the same type of Garlic powder that we use to season foods. (And don't forget it's 'straight' garlic powder --- not garlic salt). As a matter of fact I'm quoting Miss Nina'a post because I purchase my garlic powder from Whole Foods from their spice section near the bakery department.
It's the small bottle and I only pay $1.79 for it.
Hugs and blessings angel.

I haven't "noticed" growth yet. My hair is going back and forth with this OCT.
Scenario 1:
I used the system, and experienced tangles after simply using the directions as "stated" in the system for intense results (aka leaving OCT in scalp for about 30 minutes or more (not the hair). I have had little tight knots that aren't alarming in nature, but I know they aren't "shed hairs."
Scenario 2:
I apply every other day to the scalp and experience buildup, but no changes. My scalp itches somewhat.
Scenario 3:
Use the system exactly as described. Rinse OCT out of hair after 3-5 minutes in shower and use creme rinse. Results: noticeable curl/wave pattern and smoother hair.
Uhm, maybe I am totally ignoring the small signs of growth? I'm going to have to purchase a really good moisturizing DC and try MegaTek instead to compare.

Hrmm. Interesting. And how long have you been using it? I want to second someone who said that the growth is a creeper, sometimes, and add the note that a lot of the relaxed ladies are having a hard time seeing NG because the texture has changed, and finish off with a reminder that the original challenge was 90 days, because that was about how long it took (Sareca, I think) to actually see concrete growth.
The speed of how well it's working is throwing/worrying people, when I don't think it has to. Also - using it every other day will give you more gradual results, too.
I get tangles also, but primarily w/ megatek, thinking about an oil rinse. From my understanding this helps w/ tangles, never did one before.. but we shall see

If there are any representatives from NEEPS.COM reading this thread
YOU HAVE MY MONEY SEND MY PRODUCTS OR A BAD REVIEW WILL BE FORTHCOMING!!!
Girl and I warned the Neeps man to not play with this product cos there will be many ppl fussing about it. They better don't play.
I ordered my Nutrine Products yesterday and they arrived this afternoon.
I checked the status online and it said delivered, all the while I am on the phone with DH who is at home. So I am like, Did you see the package, he said no, I've been in bed all day.
THe signature confirmation says 'HAZZ'.
I'm like, Lord please don't let that be some body who stole my product playing a joke on me by singing has.
I make him go downstairs, he checks the door, no product.
THen in the background I hear the lil boy next door shout out that he has some thing for us and he brought the package to him. I was bout to fuss! I was soo relieved!
Now it's just to get my MT and I am set for life! YAY!

Using the CT every other day, the system about 1 - 3 times per week, depending.

Who is their mail carrier? UPS or USPS? I haven't received any email with a tracking number yet.
How long did it take from ordering it to you receiving it?

I think I mistyped.
I spoke to a Customer Service at Neeps about the MT, and asked about shipping rates to be reduced if there was repeat business from my order. He said that there were no discount codes available at the time. I did not order.
What I should have typed was, I ordered my Nutrine products.. but from www.beautyofnewyork.com that arrived today.
You should definitely tell them who you are ordering on behalf of, well sort of and that repeat business will definitely be a problem.

Thanks Shimmie,
I will definetely try this until i find the $$ for the Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner.
You'll have the money and then some for the Alter Ego. The garlic / oil is really great though.
It smells like yummie Italian with garlic / and olive oil mixed together. 
I'm sorry about your order being delayed from neeps.com.
My prayer is that you will receive it very soon and able to put closure upon this and begin your hair regime.
I ordered mine from horseloverz and it came in 3 days. My next order for MT will be ordered from Hopes Braids.
We're here for you EMJazzy. Don't despair.
Hugs and blessings...

so i went and got my hair done today... my mom wanted me to get another touchup since my relaxer came out pretty underprocessed but i didnt want to... they didnt even ask me if i wanted a relaxer and just directed me to the shampoo girl 
they ended up blowing out my hair... using that blow dryer for upwards of 20 minutes... then roller setting... it was curled pretty tight... now that the curls have fell a little... i dont see all that much a difference from my relaxer 3 weeks ago... but its still curled at the ends, and i havent examined it close enough... idk... im not giving up though, i like the product and i want to keep using it.
i think i am going to start using it as a dc once a week... and see if that makes any difference. i already dc twice a week but ive been using moisturizing conditioners, so now im just going to use one of them with the mt... im still hoping for the best
my hair looks fine though. he didnt cut it after all and he only asked once. (i think they might have been "nikos cousins" in ethnicity that sure wasnt no damn spanish they were speaking). im going to get it straightened again in a couple more weeks so maybe i will see some noticeable difference then. some a-hole stole my camera but ill have pictures again at some point.
this is basically how im feeling, that i need to stop watching it and be more patient.

Great nodisrespect don't give up. Let's all hang in there for 3 months. We're are all in this together. The only way we will get our results is if we are consistent. Your hard work won't be in vain.
