PROGRESS PICS FOR OCT/MT USERS: 6/1 - 9/1

WOW,Justkiya!!!! That is amazing progress!
**goes to apply MT**
Can't see that much progress and sit around without megassaging.

HHG lady!!
 
Okay, I finally have progress (of a sort) pictures.

I got DontSpeakDefeat's lovely progress shirt tonight (Fabulous! Thank you! Ya'll need to buy one of hers, or one of SouthernTease's - these shirts are BRILLIANT!) and I finally gave in and asked DH to take a picture of my hair. He was cute, making sure I was standing in the light just right and everything. :love3:

Anyhow. The best previous comparison pic I have is from July 13 - so it's still roughly three months, just a month late :blush3:

And this is from today, and also an official start for tracking for me. :look: I'm - particular. And I like things to be consistent. :lol:

So, that's about 3 months of growth, and even taking into account I wasn't pulling from the very middle last time and the camera angles are different - I'd still say..... well. *happydance* I'm pleased. Definitely. And I SO wasn't using it consistently, either. I just restarted this week after taking two weeks off, and - well, I haven't been consistent at all.

So, I'll definitely be participating in the progress pics now. :yep: :grin:

the presses!!!

Your hair has grown immensely, JK!

Congratulations girl....keep up the great work!

And to all the ladies who are growing....ya'll are doing your thang!
 
I posted this in this months MT/OCT Challenge THREAD! Just posting here too!

Here are my growth pics from the first week of September to the first week of October. I have only been faithful a month with my regimen MT/OCT/Beemine applied to the scalp every or every other day and co-wash/wash whenever I feel like it which is usually three times a week. I don't use anything special to wash or co-wash with. The pics of Oct I used OCT shampoo to shampoo. I will also post in the challenges progress pics thread. I used the wing of one of the birds in my back tatoo to measure...lol.

Have a good night ladies.

what is beemine? (I WANT SOME!!!) is it a product for growth? and i thought oct wasn't supposed to be applied to the scalp daily without washing afterwards. also are you appying a mixture of the 3 directly to ur scalp?
 
:grin::grin:
I'll be the first!

*post copied from other progress pic thread*

Here are my progress pics from June 8th to August 30th!

I've been a faithful user of Mega-Tek for 3 months.

I wanted to wait until the September 1st party to show this progress but I was so excited that I had to share my excitement with you ladies TODAY!

I'm a part of the 1/8-1/4 inch a month club so the amount of growth I've received in these past three months means so much to me!

I thank God for leading me to this awesome product and I thank God for you amazing ladies who've supported and encouraged me!

I can only imagine where my hair is going to be when my 6 year natural hair anniversary rolls around in late December!



How do you apply your Mega Tek, do you apply it directly to your scalp or your hair, do you mix it up with some other products? I am just curious because your growth is incredible! :yep:I thought about purchasing some Mega Tek but I didn't really know how to apply it to my hair for the best results, can you please hook me up with some tips?

Just WONDERFUL ladies! :yahoo: Excellent job :congrats:

Beemine is a growth product. I mix the MT, BEEMINE, and OCT in an applicator bottle. Apply every or every other day to the scalp. Co-wash about three times a week.
 
OMG, I can't believe what I am seeing. Weaveologist and JK your progress is amazing. I have been thinking of cutting my hair super short - for style. I am sick of this stage I am in. I like my hair super short or shoulder length or longer. This short (but not short enough) style is killing me. Not a lot to do with it. Plus I am just learning my natural hair. Can't twist worth a damn. Bored up to ying yang. Scared to wear bands or scarves due to edges issue. No weaves or wigs or chemicals for same reason. Have not worn my natural hair out in 25 or 30 years. What to do, what to do?

However, seeing your progress... Hmmmmmm..... "should I cut it, should I grow it out, should I cut, should I grow?.....":perplexed Doggone it!:wallbash:

Congratulations, ladies.

BTW, I just got my progress Tees in the mail and I had to crack up. It'll be a long, long time before I even need t put one of them on. :lachen:
 
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW congrats i just ordered my mega-tek....ups cant get here fast enough...i cant wait to start using it...um how exactly do i use it though...i just want to swim in it!!! ok maybe not cuz i dont want to be a sasquatch...*as u can tell im a newbie* and im like totally excited

Welcome. I just PM'd you. I saw your post in the newbie thread so I sent you a message. Try to read through some of the previous MT/OCT threads. I know it is long but there is good info. At least look at the first page or so and it has good instructions on how to use.

Yeah, I get how you want to swim in it. If I could dunk my whole head in it daily I would.:lachen:

If you have more questions after looking through the instructions on the first page of this thread - ask away.

Good luck & Happy Hair Growing (HHG)

STOP. If you cut your hair you will never experience the pleasant shock of seeing all your growth accumulated. Learn to get creative with styling. Like flat French rolls, or wrapping your hair up. Stick it out! You're are doing great!

Absolute and total Yeah, THAT! to Ms. Mahalialee (good to see you around here more, too! ;) )

Makes no sense to cut off perfectly healthy hair if you are trying to grow it out.... :nono: Now if it was badly split, or just deeply damaged - okay.

Your curled hair now is actually longer than your straight hair was then, so I KNOW your straight hair now is significantly longer than it was then - :clap: Congrats!!!
 
My 2 month progress pics are in my siggy. I'm currently in kinky twists as my hair was growing so fast, needed a break and didn't want to relax again so quickly. The winter is drawing in in the UK do the twists are a quick and easy option for me at the moment.
 
Good to have you back again LondonDiva:yep:. We haven't seen you in a looooooong while and we miss you girl.

Hey LD...well, it's about time you showed your face around these parts....:lachen:you have been missed!

Please excuse my ignorance but I just can't bare to read the whole Megatek/OCT threads. Are you using both the poo and condish? Or is there like a daily moisturizer you ladies are using to get these fabulous results?
 
LondonDiva!!!! Good to see you around!!!

:look:

Urm, those are the old progress pics - we need new ones, missy!

I know I know, the last time I relaxed or should I say texlaxed I poo-pooed the idea of flat ironing and just never got round to it, within a week or two had new growth and haven't relaxed since. I'm in the braids now giving the hair a rest but still MT'ing every day.

Good to have you back again LondonDiva:yep:. We haven't seen you in a looooooong while and we miss you girl.

Aww thanks Aggie, but to be honest there is only so much MT I can talk about especially as I just mix mine with a lil olive oil or SAA. I've been taking a lil break from LHCF, it really is like a full time job this forum sometimes.

Hey LD...well, it's about time you showed your face around these parts....:lachen:you have been missed!


Ummm....I'm with JustKiya...where are your NEW pics?????


I can see that, and thanks :grin: It's nice to be missed. Well y'all can miss me next week I'm off to Thailand and Malaysia to trek on the elephants through the rainforest.. If it doesn't throw me off that is :lachen:

Wow....well, have a great time and...be careful!
 
OK, after some lengthy discussions with JK, I have decided NOT to cut (at least at 3:09 PM PDT -LOL). It is still hard. But I realize if I cut it, I will never get to wear my progress Tees (great motivators, btw). So I will keep experimenting, trying to find some hair styles. I am usually pretty good with hair, but I think I have just not had practice with my natural hair. I don't know it, just started wearing it natural in May after -wow(I just did the math)- I think it has been 35 years- no wonder I don't know what I am doing. I have got to learn patience. I tried to do one twist, maybe two, and thought - HELL NO. I tried to shingle & after the bottom row, same response. Even when I rolled it on the perm wave rods, my plan was to take each curl, individually separate it to see what the look would be. I think I got to the third or fourth curl & just gave up & finger combed the rest.

Just frustrting.:wallbash:

Thanks, Ladies, for your encouragement and support. You might be sorry. If I get though this & I have this wicked natural hair - I really won't think my stuff stinks. You guys may be creating a monster. :lachen::lachen::lachen:

I'm so glad Kiya talked you out of cutting your hair. When it comes to any natural hairstyle PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT...and this is coming from someone who *still* haven't grasped the technique of flat twists. :wallbash:
