Hello ladies! I finally subscribed:grin:, after monitoring and taking advice from the boards for two months now! I am a biracial college student, with almost SL hair. ( I dont know my hair type, but i think i may be between a 3c/4a with some 3b and 3a....so many textures!!! :drunk:) My hair is naturally curly, but after experimenting with relaxers, coloring and layering, it left my hair looking like a hot mess!:wallbash: So for the past year, i tried bunning for growth at work, and it really helped! Now, In the past two months, i have had my hair professionally colored back to its natural dark brown, and i have been trying to establish a regimen per everything bit of advice on the boards. I must admit, i am a bit of a PJ :blush: so i was excited to go out an purchase some of these products i have been hearing about. Here is what i bought this weekend:

* Shea Butter
* S-curl no drip
*V05 Conditioner
*CON shampoo for regular hair
*Castor oil (for sealing)
* Hot Six Oil
* Biotin ( started taking this weekend)
* Fantasia IC gel ( for my curly days)

I used to wash my hair every morning, and go, but i have started to cowash instead, in an attempt to retain moisture. I also tried a braidout for the first time!! It came out great! I followed the youtube vid i found here, and had excellent results ( i will post pics soon!!)

I want to try Megatek, but i dont know where to get it from and where to start and quite frankly, i am a little afraid. :nono:

Is there anyone out there that can help me out a little? I need some more advice and just wondering if i am doing the right things. I would love to achieve BSL by June of 2009. :yep:
 
Welcome!!!!

Sounds like you're off to a great start. You will definitely see the benefits of co-washing after a few days (it took me about 2 weeks) and your hair will thank you for it.

As far as Megatek, come to the dark side LOL Don't be skeered

I bought mine off this website

And here's another website

Before using Megatek make sure you read the threads (all 400 pages) and apply it correctly so you won't have protein overload.
 
Wow:lachen: that is a little skeery...but i am still interested. Thanks so much for letting me know where i can find it! I am trying to get a Pikistrip or Fotki started so i can put my recent photos up. I can not wait to get all of my hair back!!! LOL!
 
I just recently started using Castor oil and I love it. Which brand are you using? I am going to order a bottle of the Black Jamaican Castor oil on Friday. I might also buy shea butter.
 
I honestly could not find any at first and got lucky at Walmart! I am not sure of the name, but i used it in my braidout last night on my ends, and my ends are so curly and moisturized today. Castor oil is veery thick, so i only need a small touch of it for my ends.
