This month I started using the mtg and surge after I conditoin wash my hair on morning or at nights. I also began applying 5-10 drops of both rosemary and clove essential oil to my end and to my entire hair when I deep condition. I also began using unsalted butter on my hair as a hot oil treatment. Butter is made up of 4 carbon chain fatty acid it is a small molecule and easily absorbed into the hair shaft. coconut oil is a 5 carbon chain and olive oil is 8-10 carbon chain. I have decided to stop using alot of product with paraben, mineral oil, ... etc for personal reasons. Thank you for all the comments.
