I'm so jealous! I want a steamer so badly...
Good luck and don't give up! No matter what!!
I did the same thing only I took off 1/2" which still represents a whole month's progress.
I am gonna do better for the December reveal I think.
Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment. My husband told me tonight that he is just in awe of how much my hair has grown and how good it looks. Of course I am as inpatient as all get out.
I think it is such a blessing how we can and do inspire each other without even realizing it - just by sharing our struggles and our regimes and our successes. Even when we don't see it, we post and others help us to see how far we've come. That's what you all do for me.
So, woman, you keep up the great work.
BTW, you ladies have bought up all the MT on the planet. Poor horses are crying and complaining cause their owners can't find any cell rebuilder to help repair their poor damaged manes and coats. I tried every site I knew to get the gallon size of MT & they were all sold out. Finally googled MT gallon size & found one place & I quickly bought it up before you guys empty out their warehouse.
It look a long time for my hair to grow. And I've experienced a lot of setbacks where I had to trim a few inches here and there, even though I was stretching relaxers and doing protective styles 99% of the time. But I do have a very long torso. That could be why the brastrap hangs down so low. I tried several other bras in my arsenal and they ALL hang down low. I do notice and have been told that I have a long back. The last time I did a trim was may in May but I wasn't using MT/OCT regularly. Look at my ends in June. Notice how bad they look. I didn't trim again, hoping that if I work on them enough, they catch up (see the gap on the right).
I did a touch up two weeks ago and didn't trim. Part of me wants to do a light dusting just to stave off some splits, but my ends don't look bad even now. I attribute it to the OCT because that's the only thing I've done differently and consistently since June. I'm using WEN but only once a week. I just started using WEN, too, so I can't safely contribute the progress to that alone. By deductive reasoning, then, it has to be the MT/OCT.
Thank you so very much. I do hope that I'm getting an inch a month. Again I relaxed two weeks ago and it already feels like I'm getting some waves. My hair never grows fast and has never been this long.
Henna is great as well!!!
I hope I see some growth because I am so tired of shoulder length hair. Really I am. If you get an inch per month that means 12 inches a year! Does anyone get that much? I am tempted to dust as well. I bought a good pair of sissors 3 weeks ago and I'm scurred! I've been using MT for 2 days now and my hair is much softer and smells GRRRRRRREAT! I just took down my twists because the hair at my roots were puffy and had completely un-twisted. LAWD! So I had a tangled mess. Must have been the swimming and steam room yesterday. But hey I enjoyed myself!

I do believe that the LHCF ladies are indeed buying up the Mega-Tek! I bought two bottles of Rebuilder on KvVet and I went back to see if they had any more and it said: Out of Stock. LOL It was me, I took the last few bottles! YEAH! If this works for me I will buy a gallon or at least 2 more bottles. Those sweet horses!
I think after not having significant hair growth this MT/OCT is just what you need. It certainly is a moral booster.
Oh, what is WEN?[/quote]
Hi ladies - the progression from MT is amazing! I had to jump on that bandwagon as well. I'm not sure what I'll mix with but I'll keep reading the posts while I wait for my pkg.
To answer the question in purple - WEN is a "cleansing cond." by Chaz Dean to replace shampoo. To me its like a high in cond. for a co-wash. I bought a sample pkg. of 3 - 6 oz on special from QVC - they smell great & make my hair really soft.
There are probably more people who are using it on this forum who just aren't telling.....
We had to take faculty photos on Wed. They post them on the wall of the graduate school for all to see. I kept saying I am having a bad hair day & nobody could get it. Shoot, my edges were still too thin & they were going to be posted on the wall & probably the internet for all the world to see. But then I periodically see you long haired women (who I envy - btw) & you say I inspire you - WOW! Ok ladies, I applied it tonight after washing my hair and I'm getting a slight warming/some throbbing/itches going. That's good, right? It's mostly in the front but I think it's because my hair is thinner there. It's always been thinner in the front; even when I had boocoo hair as a child!! I oiled my hair first then put on the MT like I would oil my scalp. Then got my scalp massager and massaged it in. I was only going to do this at night after I shower but now after seeing rhasody (you are a true inspriration!!!) I think I'll get my lazy butt up ten minutes early and do it in the morning too!! I'm not playin' I want my childhood hair back-now!!! And then I'ma cry like a baby. Happy tears mind you...
In the meantime, to keep me going I will visualize my hair as it used to be and continue to stalk...uhh I mean look at you all's albums/progress pictures...
Oh, BTW...my avatar is my starting pic...I just took it on Sunday 8-24-08
Cool if showing the back of my head is "showing my hair" then oh well lol I don't show it in public. Note that I didn't start using MT until 8-9-08. So roughly 2 weeks progress. Also I'm mixing the MT with my own concoction including MN and other stuff.
Ok this picture was taken 8-5-08
