What's your Mega Tek/OCT Mixture & Routine?

[KnottyGurl]

I thought the same way. I live in the middle of a city and there was one 10 miles north of me! I had NO idea. I was like "Ain't no horses around or near here" but they were there. Good luck!

THANKS! I'm looking on the net now for cheaper prices. I just dont want to walk around with a white scalp til the stuff melts into my hair so maybe mixing it w/ my black castor oil blend will help.

Aint no horsey stores around my way. You'd think there would from livin in the country. So i gotta search online.

not that i would know *ehem* but maybe you can put it in a jar and shake it up. There should be some that is left on the cover ... put a couple drops of water in it and use that for your entire head .. it will spread easily and not have residue ...

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Thanks N&W! I'm definitely gonna try it that way starting tomorrow. How do you ladies feel about prepping with Castor Oil? I guess I'll do an oil mixture and use that as a prep. See, this thread is working already

You are welcome, GG. Your siggy cracks me up....

Yes, you can use Castor oil....I used some of this tonight. I usually use EVOO though. Castor oil is just thicker and I always prefer a lighter oil.

It doesn't make your scalp white...your scalp absorbs most of it and when you mix it with the oil, it works even better.

To about 2oz of MT, I mix 1/8 teaspoon castor oil, 1/8 teaspoon vitamin e oil, 1/8 teaspoon SAA and 1/4 teaspoon honeyquat.

I apply it nightly to my scalp, and leave it in until I wash/DC, which I usually do twice a week.

2oz will last me about a month, because I'm VERY light fingered with it.

What's SAA?

 

[KnottyGurl]

Silk Amino Acids. Why did I go to the natural food store and ask for Silk Amino Acids? The lil asian guy kinda cocked his head (well not really but it adds to the humor in my story) and said "We have Amino Acids, but not SILK Amino Acid." I'm like "Yeah, that's what I said." And I STILL didn't buy it. Ya'll need to be more specific. I need a brand name or sumthin' so I won't look crazy next time.

Congrats on your pregnancy, sis!!! I just saw your ticker!!

And I don't think you can get SAA in a store - at least none of the ladies that I know who are using it were able to find it offline.

I got mine from lotioncrafters.com, and there is a discount code for them in the discount thread.

 

[KnottyGurl]

You so crazy! Although I would like to have one in the near future. The way things are going, it may have to be by immaculate conception.

Congrats on your pregnancy , sis!!! I just saw your ticker!! I am??!! Err-ah, NO. I'm just using it to show how many weeks I've transitioned so far! ......I need to clarify that

I got mine from lotioncrafters.com, and there is a discount code for them in the discount thread. I realize that now Thank you for listing the website. Did you receive it in a timely manner? I may have to hurt the next delivery guy that comes late with my stuff. I know it's not his fault, but he'll get it by DEfault.

I'mma need for your transition to not have a 40week due date, girl!

I see, I see, my bad, my bad.

I did - she's really good with shipping stuff out. *thinks* It was less than a week, each time, if I recall correctly.

This smiley is gonna break the one arm he's got off if I keep messing with ya'll!

I've been using it for a few days. So far, I've been applying MT straight, no chaser to the scalp daily. Shampooing with Queen Helene Garlic poo then CON (green and white). I condish with VO5 Moisture Milk Passionfruit. I haven't found a DC yet because all of this "protein-overload" talk made me a little nervous . I have a few cholesterol condishes and a few packs of ORS replenishing packs. Do you think these are safe to use with MT without the possibility of "protein-overload"?

I don't know about those specific products, Platinum - you might want to ask this is the main thread, too - you might get more responses there...

does mega tek stink ?

 

[Classic]

I use mine in an applicator bottle mixed with evoo and castor oil every night. I co wash 3 times a week and on sundays apply my garlic evoo and let it sit for a bit. My mix is almost done so I'll try it straight and see.

 

[gymfreak336]

does mega tek stink ?

Nope, not at all. It has a coconutty fresh smell. It really smells good.

 

[Valerie]

does mega tek stink ?

No, it smells wonderful. I bought 2oz Mega Tek and i mixed mine with castor oil, aloe vera gel, olive oil, 1 evening primrose capsule, 2 vegetable E capsules, 2 capsules of garlic oil, a little sulphur, rosewater, glycerine, drops of lavender, paltas, wild growth oil, vatika oil and orange essential oil, mixed thoroughly put into a colouring bottle, I shake the bottle before applying to my scalp, twice daily. I started using it last Thursday, but I daily rinse with nettle, rosemary, sage and parsley tea with added aloe vera juice, MSM, rosewater and glycerine. Which I make the night before. I massage my hair twice daily.

I also have to add, I just love mixing hair products., I usually deep condition for 30 minutes or more, once a week, then add Mega Tek for 2-5 minutes, then rinse off.

 

[Aggie]

I copied and pasted my recipe from my fotki coz I am too lazy right now to write this out again.

HERE'S MY MEGA TEK CELL REBUILDER RECIPE:

--6 oz MT cell rebuilder
--1 oz grapeseed oil
--1oz Jamaican Black Castor Oil
--1 oz aloe vera oil (aloe vera gel can also be used)
--15 -18 drops of rosemary or peppermint or lavender essential oil (or 5-6 drops of each)
--2 oz BB Oil Moisturizer hair lotion with castor oil and aloe
--1 Tablespoon of flowers of sulfur powder (yellow)
--3 tubes of MN (Fougera brand miconazole Nitrate) bought from www.amazon.com.

--Mix the MN with the BB moisturizer in a bowl first so it can soften a little and blend easier.


MY MEGA TEK REGIMENT:-

-Mix all ingredients together in a color applicator bottle, shake and squeeze on scalp only daily and when I'm lazy I'll put it on my scalp every other day.

-Once a week I will put the MT cell rebuilder on both my scalp and the length of my hair for 5 minutes only.

-Then I wash it out with the Mega Tek Premier Natural Botanical Equine Shampoo and put the Mega Tek Creme Rinse conditioner right in with the shampoo and leave the two on my hair for 5 minutes then wash out in the shower.

-Once a week I follow the MT poo & con with some diluted Nutrine garlic poo and con, and deep condition/treat with Alter Ego garlic treatment for 30 - 45 minutes.

PLEASE NOTE: Other oils can also be used, such as almond oil, extra virgin olive oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, carrot oil, wheat germ oil, jojoba oil, ayurveda oils and any other oils you choose. I like this recipe because it smells delish!! Also the oil will separate by the next day, simply shake again and apply to your scalp. Another very helpful hint is to take odorless kyolic garlic supplements to combat shedding from the inside out.

--------------------------------------------------------

ETA: I will make a few adjustments though like make the MT to oil and MN more of a 5:1 ratio as not to dilute the MT down so much anymore. I will remove the sulfur powder, grapeseed and aloe vera oils as well and stick with the JBCO only and MN with a cap full of honeyquat of course - used to replace the BB oil moisturizer. The essentail oils will stay. Hope this didn't confuse anyone. Oh yeah, adding oil to the scalp first works a lot better than putting the MT directly on my dry scalp.

 

[joib]

I mix mine with castor oil, part my hair , and apply to the scalp. I do this every night. I co-wash and deep condition twice a week.

 

[explosiva9]

I asked a similiar question a few days ago but I didn't get a response. I'll try again. Thanks!

I don't kno wif you have tried it but Aubrey Organics is AMAZING and has no protein. I have the honeysuckle rose and the jojoba desert herb. They both leave my hair super moisturized and you can dc with them.

 

[lilsparkle825]

3oz MT to 1oz of whatever oil i have on hand in an 8pz applicator bottle. currently africa's best but i bought some jojoba oil today so that *might* be up next, or i will blend oils.

 

[Serenity_Peace]

I infuse the following herbs in jojoba and coconut oils:

Stinging Nettle
Horsetail
Rosemary
Sage
Marshmellow
Fenugreek Seed

(I don't measure the herbs but I would say about 1 tablespoon of each or two tea bags.)

Let the oils infuse for two weeks. Drain some of the herbs from the oil. Add the oil to my MT. Add a couple of drops of SAA, Honeyquat and Emu Oil. Apply daily. And I mean DAILY!!

I generally make enough of the infused oils to last me quite a long time. I continue to allow the leftover herbs to infuse in a Mason jar that sits on my window seal.

I use the OCT system once a week. Co-wash twice a week. Wash and deep condition once a week. My hair is growing nicely...

 

[soulie]

After co-wash, apply my leave-in then "grease" my scalp with unmixed MT. Like Kiya, I'm light-fingered. Leave it on until next co-wash or until poo/DC time. Once a week after poo I apply MT to my length and leave it on for FIVE minutes then rinse, then apply my DC. This is my overnight, without heat DC. Usually for about 12 hours. After rinsing DC when I apply my leave-in, I apply to my scalp as usual.

Incidentally, I just had a "growth spurt". It's suddenly REALLY thick in the back - and my ends don't look ragged and see-through. They look like real hair!!!

 

[GeorginaSparks]

i mix mine with

-2 parts castor oil
-2 parts honeyquat
-1 part SAA
then fill the rest of the applicator bottle with Megatek

lilsparkle, your hair is really coming along there in your siggy, nice progress honey.

Okay..Dumb question but what does SAA stand for???

TIA

It stands for silk amino acids that can be bought from www.lotioncrafter.com

 

[MonPetite]

I put MT in an applicator bottle and apply to my scalp after washing and co-washing daily. I then rub it in. Not long, just enough to spread it out. Ten seconds or so.

I then add my leave-in to the length of my hair.

I sleep in a shower cap everynight so it is steamed in along with my leave-in (which is usually a conditioner).

That's it. Anything else and I'd get too lazy.

[Kutie85]

Can someone tell me if my mixture is ok.
In another bottle I put a couple of squirts of mega tek, some Castor oil, and some Africa's best hair oil, and a couple of drops of capilo and sole Dominican rinse for the shedding. until I get the garlic capsules. But I'm sitting here staring at the bottle afraid something crazy will happen if I put it on my scalp. lol Can I use this if I wear my hair down and wrap it at night If I've had it flat ironed at the salon?
