The OCT/MT Challenge Progress Pix!

[Aggie]

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Aggie - it smells HEAVENLY, but my hair just does NOT approve - I think it's too much protein...
The rehydrant spray, on the other hand, it lovely. If I could ever give up on the homemade sprays, I might use just this. Hrm. Now that I think about it, I might take it to work as my midday spritz.

JK, Ima luvin' that new avatar pic a lot honey. You look like a pretty, sexy mama jamma.

CONGRATS VW!! That's great progress

Great progress!!!

Thanks Marley. I can't wait till it make it thicker.

Just posting growth picture from April 2008 to June 2008. I hope you can see the growth. I realize that I'm horrible at the whole picture thing.

Lane I see the thickness. I hope it works on me like that

Hey LD Welcome back! I know you bragged at the wedding about that growth (I would)

Here's 3/15 right before I started MT (and a month after my last relaxer):

Here's 6/5:

Wowzers! Do you need to be using MT??? I'm trying to get to where you are now.

I started the MT at the end of April. Here is my starting pic:


This was taken about 5 minutes ago:

I think I got an inch in about a month!!! Q

Sis this is great growth girl! Can i believe it. You're gonna be at your goal by your bday. Keep it up

Anway, this is all I have. The rest of my hair is in hiding. Hopefully, it's growing a lot too.

Congrats Ediese! That's some new growffff

And our Matriarch...Congrats Sareca

This pic was taken Feb 18th, 2 weeks before I started the Ovation

June 5th

Congrats Brit!!!!

 

[PuffyBrown]

WOW!
Great job ladies..!

 

[yodie]

Congrats ladies. You all have gotten some great growth. It's been two months for me also, but I'm wearing my hair twisted, underneath my half wig.

I don't plan on pressing my hair until October.
I just hope I'm shoulder length by then.

 

[mnemosyne]

Wowzers! Do you need to be using MT??? I'm trying to get to where you are now.

Hell Yes!! Till it's down ma butt... well, not really. But at least till it's waist length!

Get it girl! I'm hoping by January 09 to be full APL. Lord Please!!!!!

Oh my goodness.........I need to get outta this thread...I'm too broke to look at this

Ok so this is me all the way......but i think imma have to break down and purchase the MT...it seems as if there's no BIG difference between the two....so to make it easier on my wallet i'll get the MT.


But wait...is there a difference between the two?? meaning is one stronger or more effective than the other??

sorry if this has already been asked before

 

[Soliel185]

This DAMN MT is messing my cornrows up! I got them done LESS THAN A WEEK AGO and every day when I get up my parts look smaller than they were the day before!

Seriously..it looks like all the braids got wider and I can see light shining through the spaces underneath them!

I agree & your skin has such a beautiful glow

Hey LD Welcome back! I know you bragged at the wedding about that growth (I would)

Thanks TT8. It was the bride's (my friend's) day, so I had to play down the divaness just a tad

Here is JustKiya's blog on the ingredient breakdown

MT Rebuilder came out the best is what we concluded, my hair seems to think so, I don't think I would have gotten it any longer after 2 months on OCT. Cheapest too.

That's why I'm not bothering with any fancy styles. I use it every day, no fail. and I'm guessing I get 1/4 or close to that per week. Being a coarse 4B hair type the bushiness shows through quickly. Taming it becomes harder over time. Next week I'm wearing twists and re-doing them every week because I can't take this for the next 8 weeks.

Good Luck with those cornrows girls. But look at it this way IT'S WORKING and you're getting your money's worth from the product.

sorry this took so long... had my cord and camera in different places all weekend.

Here's 1/30 with like 5 months of new growth:

Wow! That's great progress! I'm going to give my ayurveda products a few months to work their magic before I try some Mega Tek!

Good luck! I was on the ayurveda kick until I broke out in hives after my last henna attempt.

[song_of_serenity]

I've got the check-out screen right in front of me. You ladies have pushed me over the edge. I wonder if I want to reach my goal of FULL APL this year...I hope by September I'll be closer. I CAN'T WAIT!! ALL of your progress shots are amazing. I can't wait to contribute!

Good Luck!



OCT/MT Challenge 1st Check-In: JUNE 1, 2008

Fantastic Growth, this is BlackRose from Fotki, ill upload photos of my start and progress soon!

 

[IntelligenceisBeautiful]

Ladies your growth is AWESOME and then some. I have some questions

where can I get OCT and Megatek?
What's your method? do you apply these two together everyday?
may I continue to cowash daily?

 

[xxBlackRosexx]

This thread answers all of your questions. Most of the answers are in the first post.

I think I will be taking them out this weekend after 2 1/2 weeks. So I will probably airdry my stretched hair and maybe flat iron depending on how I feel. I have my Sabino Moisture Block ready to go! If I see significant growth I'll post more pics.

 

[cieramichele]

post here nice & wavy!

 

[PuffyBrown]

Did you guys start another 90 day challeng?
Count me in!
I just recently started posting again. I had to get away because I wasnt doing my school work like I should.
I have been sitting here tonight reading this entire challenge and looking at everybodys updates.


OMG. That shyt is the bom...I ordered the Mega Tek. I will be so glad when it gets here. I am still on the fence with the cell therapy but may get it after 30 days on the Mega Tek...we will see what happens.

Congratulations to all of yall you kicked this site up a notch. I am truely sold on this product.

I am so happy that I can now use something that really works. The only thing that I have ever found that I could see working was MTG and that stuff stinks I used it one time and I was done. I have been trying everything with some good results but not like what you are getting with these products.

Thanks again ladies, you all are doing good. Keep it up.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Oops, my bad. I didn't see this thread at all. That's what I get for staying in "other forums"...lol
