STEP IT UP ON THE GROWTH AIDS..PART 2

I just started Bee Mine last night so the jury is currently out. I will also be using MT only once a week starting Jan. 9th or 10th. So my plan is to get to BSL by May 2009 by using Bee Mine 3 to 4 times a week and MT once once a week.
 
I'm still on my homemade growth oil, and been using daily. Missed just one day so far as I'm in Kenya right now and living out of my suitcase and in different locations and couldn't find it yesterday....... Having to redo my twists quite alot and I hope it's growth and not slippage...

My MT came yesterday! Woo hoo... I'll post a picture...I ladened my head with that stuff...LOL. I didnt even mix it with oil... I found it to be good smelling AND seemed creamy and moisturizing...but just for the "whoo" I added some of CD's Tui Oil ...so my head smelled decadent...Mmmm... I read apply daily...or every other day...

Yay!

PLEASE be careful with MT. Improperly used it will make your hair hard and prone to breakage. You're just using it on your scalp right?

Any particular reason for that (beemine more than MT only once a week)? I have been using beemine for about 2 weeks and like it (can't tell if the new growth is because I am about 12 weeks post or because of the beemine - I'll have a better sense after my touch up this weekend). I purchased MT and will be adding that into the mix and planned to alternate between beemine and MT. I am looking for MEGA growth within the next 6 months before my wedding. Just curious as to why you are deciding to use them that way. TIA.

Question: Is anyone experiencing a sore scalp and itchiness?? Could it be from growth? I used to never put anything on my scalp... could that be what causes the itchies? hmmm...

Hey there, Isawstars. Definitely sounds like growth! Lots of ladies experience "growth itchies" from MT, MN and ayurvedic reggies and later experience the greatest growth in the itchiest areas. So hang in there! Sounds like progress. :)
 
Hey Ladycage,

I've got avocado mist, too. How do you like it? When I bought it, I thought it was the original formula with the wheat protein. However, I see that the new formula has hydrolyzed keratin pretty high on the list. Any "proteiny" kinda problems with your hair? I'm kind of scared to use it regularly for fear of the high protein content. But I love it the few times I've used it mixed in with my brhingaraj tea and glycerine mix. Hair like silk.

I glad I switched over to apply MT at night. It's working out better! It's been officially a month since I started using MT. I know I have MT but it's hard for me to tell because my hair is curly/wavy like my new growth. I know I have some because it's more springy... but it seems like the texture is different... Is anyone else experiencing a different texture?

Then again, I only fingercomb my hair everyday. And use a wide tooth comb when conditioner 2x a week. So I really can't tell if it's manageable or not.

I think it is growth. Most people in the OCT/MT challenge have experienced this.
 
Im applying my mt every night. I have micros and I MISS MY HAIR. but thats ok at least im giving my hair a rest from combing.

As usual, last night I moisturized and applied my OCT.
I have not stretched my hair this week, so it is a tangled me and I have to cover it up.
I think shrunken fros are over for me:ohwell:

This might sound corny, but we joined the exact same challenges! :lachen: Anyways,this challenge has really helped me STEP IT UP.I applied my MN tonight and moisturized. I like checking in also because it helps me stay up on my growth game. Great challenge!
 
I have been great all week, alternating with Bee Mine in the mornings and my MT mix on alternate days... so far so good this week. I put my Bee Mine in a color applicator bottle with a pointy tip which allows me to get the oil on my scalp under my plats...that was helpful...

:lachen:Girl great minds think alike:grin:
I think you have higher goals than me though, because from your siggy you are in the APL challenge and I am in the SL challenge.:grin:
 
Wooweee OCT is too expensive! I stick with my MTG, my Lenzi's Request, and my Boundless Tresses. I'm in on the challenge!

If you ever want to switch it up, try the Mega-Tek! Made by the same folks as OCT and way cheaper. Smells great, too. Kinda like pina colada. :lick: I got a big ole bottle from Dover Saddlery for 22.95. I expect to last at least another month, maybe two.
 
checking in- i just went out and brought some MN this morning! i felt like i was missing out on extra growth! i was planning to give it a 2 month break but 1 and half is enough 4 me!
happy growing!
 
Failing... I took a break because I had dental surgery. I know I'm just paranoid, but I didn't want anything extra or foreign in my system that would cause problems... and I wasn't about to tell anyone that I use Monistat on my head and take 5 different vitamins. :grin: My surgery was Thursday. I last applied my MN mix about a week ago, but I will get back onto my regimen today. I think it should be safe. :spinning:
 
I'm still on my game, I'm using the BeeMine more than the MT and I got new little fine baby hairs sprouting up everywhere. I was late leaving the house looking at them this morning :scratchch
 
Hi,

Just checking in.. I've been consistent with MT for about a week using it every day with Indian oils. Now that I have BeeMine I think I will alternate days since my scalp is a little sore w/ minor itching.
