The OCT/MT Challenge Progress Pix!

[blazingthru]

I'm slow...are you in braids or something? I'm not following.

I am in twist, but they always braid it a little at the top to hold the twist in.

They called me a liar today. I went to the salon to get my back retouched up because the growth was getting out of hand. I only wanted the back done. So i sit in the chair and she said only the back, I said yeah it grew it a lot she said it all grew in I said well only the back needs to be redone. I said I just got it done two weeks ago. YOU LIE, YOUR HAIR HAS BEEN IN THIS FOR 2 MONTHS!!. I said no just two weeks. They didn't believe me at all. They said well you washed it I said well it would be loose around the braid, right and showed them how tight the braid itself was it was funny they started speaking in their language and I said no speak english and they said it was not two weeks. I just laugh to myself. I said I will see you in two weeks.

I LOVE IT!!! Go back to THEM in 2 weeks and watch their eyes bug out. MT is amazing isn't it!!

2 weeks today and I can't find my scalp. My braids under this wig are getting bigger and bigger. I have done nothing to my hair but Mega tek every other night and and co-wash every couple of days. It stays in 4-6 braids under the wig. These braids are swelling so big I might have to make them smaller if I am going to continue with the wig.

U ladies are having wonderful progress.

OCT/MT DOES WORK.....

yeah I am so going back but only to let them see. I already spent 200 dollars on my hair in two weeks not trying to spend anymore right now. Just going to deal with the new growth. But I can't seem to find anymore MT its harder to get I just paid for more and it hasn't come in two weeks now-- I think I got it from horsebraiders or something another. I guess I am going to have to breakdown and get the gallon size. Dag!! Don't get me wrong I was going to get it but i wanted to save up for it, thats out the door now.

Aw come on....you know us addicts need our fix.

 

[Soliel185]

So...If I'm not hit by an attack of the lazies I will be going home tonight and straightening my hair for the first time in...at least 6 weeks. So I should have some progress to report.

Since I haven't been using heat (lazY) I've been stretching to see how far I've come, and my hair is cut in layer so the bang stretches to a little past chin, above my ear/side stretches to a little below collarbone, and the nape stretches to APL. Not sure how that'll translate to actual length once straightened but I'm excited to see!

 

[Platinum]

Aw come on....you know us addicts need our fix.

CO-SIGNING!

 

[Mahalialee4]

WOW!! You have made tremendous progress. I am so happy for you.

It is good stuff. It is what I used when I had my health issues in 1999 and lost so much hair and had bald spots. (Refer Fotki). MT was a mainstay. I used to talk about it in one of the old hair forums under the name Shebanoire. I used it solid for a year. I am so glad it worked for you too. HTH bonjour

 

[jamaicalovely]

This is what happens when an addict doesn't get their fix.

Got a relaxer last Wednesday before I went to Georgia on a church convention. I took a few pictures while I was in the hotel. I hate being fooled by the camera. Sometimes it looks long, other times short. But I KNOW the MT worked!! It got thicker and longer as well. Especially the SIDES!!

The last one is my fave, of course, because it looks so LONG! LOL.

So what's the verdict. Did it grow in comparison to the last picture in my sig?

I love this thread!!! All of you ladies have absolutely amazing progress. OCT/MT are phenomenal products. Viewing these progress pic's was a :realitycheck:for me. I'm will be immediately placing an order! I'm soooo excited, this will now allow me to reach my goal of WL hair sooner that I anticipated. I've had sooo many setbacks in the past. I guess I'd be considered BSL, but it's not full BSL yet.

In your earlier pics, you had a VERY distinct (and skinny) 'v' tip to your hair. Now, it almost looks blunt. So, I don't think you've gained more 'down the back' length, as overall, it looks about the same length, but it's SO much thicker and those SIDES! Girl! Where'd all that hair come from!?!? I mean, your sides totally caught up to the back of your hair!!! I can't wait to see your next progress picture!

 

[ayoung]

GREAT JOB SOS, def growing and def longer!

 

[SouthernTease]

Wow, Brittany that's some awesome progress there.

OMG... that's crazy

 

[scarcity21]

how are you using MT?

 

[song_of_serenity]

well, i see growth ! wow, this is all so encouraging.Thanks for the pics, i know what you mean about being fooled by the camera, thats why i wanna wait 2months before checking my progress,

Thank you! I'm officially as a few minutes ago on a HYH challenge until December! I won't take pictures then. Luckilly, for all the weddings I'm in, including my own, my hair will be UP!

Ummmmm,YEAH!!!!!
I definitely see growth(a lot!),and thickness too
Its beautiful!Congrats!

Thank you!! Sometimes you just can't see it with your own!!

OMG J u are making FANTASTIC progress!

I'm sure you posted it already but what is your regimen with the product?

Good job

Aw, thanks! I use (measurements) 2 oz mt, 1 oz olive oil, 1 oz castor oil (just started using Jamaican black as of about...3 weeks ago?) So half MT/ half my oils. I'm tempted to do the essential oils in it, but it ain't broke, so... Any updates on your end?

Nice progress you got there! Looks longer and thicker. Good for you, Miss Newly Engaged

THANK YOU on both counts!!!

THANK YOU! Sometimes it looks a *tad* longer, sometimes the same length in the back but the SIDES shocked me. They're nowhere close to APL at all, but wow...they were stagnant so long! Then boom. From nose length sloping downward to under chin!

Still iffy on the length but I know some areas def. played "catch up" to the rest! If anything, I'm so glad for the thickness. That tends to come first with me. It means that the rest of the areas that were shorter are now neck and neck with the longer bits! YAAY!!!

how are you using MT?

I use (measurements) 2 oz mt, 1 oz olive oil, 1 oz castor oil. The ladies here have so many recipies. I think there was a recipe thread if I'm not mistaken!

Hi Ladies

I have not been posting much lately but I have been following the OCT/MT threads closely. Lots of good information and amazing progress pics.

Well I started on MT in April but fell off after experiencing lots of breakage. (I had not up-ed moisture). But once my hair recovered from the breakage and excess shedding and I found out what the problem was (thanks Caribgirl), I put in braids and then started applying MT (mixed with some castor oil) every other day.

I was in braids for 9 weeks but I only used MT for about 3 of those weeks.

I took down the micros over the weekend. Here are the progress pics. Nothing phenomenal but I am happy since I am a slow grower. I have also noticed thicker, stronger hair.

Please note that - my relaxed hair is severely under processed at the moment ie in the Aug pic and I have not straightened. I guess I will know when I next relax. I put in braids again.

Wish me luck as I work toward full SL by Dec 08

I definitely see growth and thickness!! Congrats, and I hope it keeps working for you!

O.K., ladies. Help me out with this...

I'm trying to post a Pikistrips to showcase my update but don't know how to post it here.

HELP!!!!

 

[Serenity_Peace]

ETA: I FIGURED IT OUT!! YAY!!

O.K., the first pic was taken in June 2008. The second pic last week with a fresh relaxer! So, ladies, my hair has never been this long. I love OCT/MT and WEN.

NOTE: Notice how low my brastrap is. I gotta do something about that. I wear a 34C but can't understand why my brastrap hangs down so low. I will go and get some good bras while I'm here in Chi-Town!!

Love ya!

Girl................... !!!!!! I just sent you a PM

Your progress is BEAUTIFUL! I'm so happy for you Serenity Come Christmas, you'll be ready for the Inaugeral Ball as First Lady Michelle's and President Obama's special guest.

 

[Serenity_Peace]

Thank you, Sweet Shimmie! I'm still working on the health and getting some thickness, but I've noticed that I may only need a slight trim or dusting of my ends. I have absolutely NO breakage and very little shedding. I urge ladies who struggle with shedding and/or breakage, keep using the products. The shedding, especially, will stop with continued use. Patience is key!!
