Ladies...I need to thank you all. My hair is doing great. I have been shoulder length for YEARS but my friends always considered me the one with the long hair. Had some setbacks due to braids (never again) and happened to stumble upon thi site in January, lurked for a while and joined I think a month or two ago. I have been using OCT and Megatek for about six weeks. Today I did my relaxer and then my usual routine. I am so thrilled. My hair is the softest and healthiest it has ever ever been. I think I have about an inch to go for APL (if I raise my arms up I am already there..lol). I just want to thank all you ladies that have been so helpful in providing information and inspiration, especially LondonDiva and Aggie...You ladies are great!!!
FYI..my goal is "only" BSL.

Congratulations on your progress AngieB! I am so excited to hear about another success story. I love to hear when some one gets good progress or results. I have been watching this thread and read every single post and taking notes. I even went as far as ordering the OCT system, and received it today. I was so discouraged after reading all the experiences about shedding I didn't even open the box and planned on sending it back. I wasn't even going to accept the package but the FEDEX guy rang the door bell and left it on the porch before I could make it down the stairs to stop him. May I please ask if you were affected by the shedding and how you handled it? Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I used to shed badly..my hair was so dry..before finding this site and this system. Since I've been using it (I also take garlic) I have very little hair loss. I lost three hairs today...YEAH!!! This stuff is great and it makes my hair feel so soft..I do take my vitamins EVERYDAY...Flax Oil, Fish Oil,Biotin, Silica.I am really impressed with these products.
I have been using this sytem on average about every three days, though I try for every other day, and it seems to be working for me. Good luck to you.
I also have been using garlic shampoo and conditioner a couple times per week.

 

[Rapunzel2B]

Thanks so much AngieB! I also sent you a PM with some questions, but you answered most of them here. Appreciate that.
Can you please tell what kind of garlic you are taking and what kind of garlic shampoo and conditioner? Was your hair dry and shedding because of the OCT or before you started using it? If I am reading this right it was dry and shedding before use and the OCT made it soft and improved the condition of your hair and you got excellent growth to boot.

OK, you did answer that. I had to go back and read it again. I am 14wks post and I think all this ng is clogging my brain. That's the excuse I am going to use anyway.
Thanks girl!

I take GARLIC OIL 5000MG SOFTGELS, I get them for Puritanspride.com. I have really not shed since I started the system...very very little...so much less than before I found LHCF. I use Nutrine garlic shampoo and conditioner...and yes you are right, I was dry and shedding BEFORE OCT and Megatak. Much much much better now...and I love this stuff..Soft and flowing hair...really no shedding...and I am GROWING...Any more questions, feel free to ask..or Aggie and LondonDiva have this stuff down...I look to their posts to keep me going..

Thanks Hon for taking the time to answer all my questions, you were very helpful.

are any ladies leaving it in over night, and if so, does it make your scalp sore at all??

 

[Serenity_Peace]

I leave it on overnight. I haven't been consistent, but LD has encouraged me to use it EVERY NIGHT on the scalp ONLY. I believe that if you add oils and a little peppermint or rosemary oil, you shouldn't have any problems. I've had no problems with sore or itchy scalp. As long as you use on the scalp ONLY. We fine-haired women cannot use this stuff directly on the hair. Find a good moisturizer. Add to the scalp, then moisturize, then tie up or cover with silk scarf or bonnet. I need to start using every night, though. Haven't been consistent at all.

I have experienced some shedding, so I may purchase the Nutrine garlic shampoo and conditioner and some garlic pills. I have the Alter Ego Garlic Deep Conditioner.

 

[MrsQueeny]

I leave mine on overnight as well after I wash or cowash. So I am applying about 3 times a week. When I am lazy, I just put it on my scalp as a dc for 5-10 minutes, rinse and follow up with a moisturizing conditoner and I am done. Q

 

[Serenity_Peace]

You are going to see a difference. Like I said, it has even been long since I have been using the whole shebang but if you run your fingers down a shed hair, you can tell exactly where the newgrowth is besides the curl pattern. Its thicker, stronger, more like wire.

I've noticed that, too. So even though I shed, I examined the shed hair and you can clearly see the white bulb at the tip but the hair itself is stronger, more coarse and doesn't snap easily. That's why I don't trip too much over the shedding because I know that you should shed 100 hairs a day. I don't, but they say that you should.

I am not tripping over it either. I did buy the alter ego garlic treatment early this month and I use that but not frequently. I think I will will try garlic oil pills if anything else if I feel like I am shedding too much.

[yodie]

I haven't experienced any shedding. Hope that's a good sign.

I know this post isn't any good without pics, but I have to report that my hair is Much thicker and has grown alot since I've been using OVT/MT these past two months.

Currently wearing my hair in twists under a half wig. I normally don't apply any type of heat because I'm recovering from relaxer fall out.

Anyway, I washed and blew my hair out last night (Love Aubrey Organics). I couldn't even recognize my new growth. It was so thick, big and bushy. I also trimmed about half a inch of my hair about three weeks ago. Can't even tell. That hair is right back.

No pics, (I'll snap and post the next time I press my hair), but this stuff defnitely works. It's a keeper for me.

 

[song_of_serenity]

I can't wait till I get miiiine! *SQUEEEE*
So, here's what I got from what I read... correct me if I'm wrong.

OCT and MT are basically the same thing, but with "more" of certain ingredients in one, yeah?

Best if used on scalp instead of length of hair?

Best if used with some kind of oil (how much oil are you adding, ladies? Do you add it in a seperate container and mix or do you add the MT/OCT and oil ONLY to the bit you're using that night?

MUST increase moisture! Garlic is great for shedding (thank God I love Alter Ego with Garlic)

My answers in bold. Q

Thank you very much! Wow! I was wondering on the amount I should use. My scalp tends to dry very quickly and since MT is drying, I didn't want to add TOO much oil and dilute it. Half and half sounds great and judging from your results, still is potent!

[LondonDiva]

Ladies, with regard to the OCT creme rinse, did we ever establish if that and the Premier creme rinse by Eqyss were pretty much the same product???

OT: i don't know what's in the Micro Tek spray but that is maximising those scalp tingles on top of the mega tek.

To me, the OCT Creme Rinse is a bit more moisturizing. I didn't like the Premier Rinse at all. It had a bit more protein and dried my hair out. OCT Rinse is o.k., but I don't think it's necessary. I use the OCT Shampoo. Then let the rinse sit on hair with heat for about 5 minutes, rinse out, then deep condition with a deep moisturizing conditioner like Miss Keys 10 en 1 or ORS. But I don't think the OCT rinse is all that necessary. I'm just trying to use it up and won't purchase again. If I purchase OCT again, I'll just get the OCT therapy and the shampoo. I'm just trying to watch my funds right now, so I want to continue with the MT for awhile because OCT is very expensive.

 

[Serenity_Peace]

OCT and MT are basically the same thing, but with "more" of certain ingredients in one, yeah? I've used both and they are essentially the same thing. I think MT has more protein and should therefore be used on the scalp only.

Best if used on scalp instead of length of hair? With MT, use on the scalp only. The OCT is a bit more moisturizing but if your hair hates protein like mine does, I would follow up with a moisturizing conditioner after OCT Therapy and Shampoo. Otherwise use on scalp only.

Best if used with some kind of oil (how much oil are you adding, ladies? Do you add it in a seperate container and mix or do you add the MT/OCT and oil ONLY to the bit you're using that night? I had both MT/OCT, added to an applicator bottle. To that, I add grapeseed oil, Vitamin E oil, a few Rosemary drops, and a little SAA. When I get my honeyquat and Emu oil, I'll add those two. I only add enough to make it less thick and thus easier to apply. I haven't been applying consistently, but I will stary applying nightly. LD is right: add to the scalp first, then apply moisturizer and seal with a little oil (not too much if you have fine hair like me ).

Quick question OCT/MT experts,

I just started using MT on Thurs. I usually co-wash/wash every 3-4 days. I'm just leaving the MT on my scalp after applying my leave-ins on hair and then sealing scalp and hair with evoo.

Is it safe to apply the MT on the scalp daily and co-wash 2xs a week above OR am I just setting myself up for product overload on the scalp?

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

nono:

^^^ this explains my emotions right now, I'm getting ready for church and disappointed with how my hair looks.

I'm transitioning and have been trying various products, I bought MT but shedding threw me off. I need help from those transitioning or stretching for l-o-n-g periods, like 6 months or so...

My hair is growing, but it is so see through. When i rollerset and then flat iron my NG, it looks great and full through and through, but as soon as it swells from humidity, perspiration, etc.. i have these see-through 4 inch ends. (I've NEVER had thin hair before...I also had a lot of shedding, is my flatiron doing this? I have it on a heat setting of 10 it's an Andis.

I am recovering from alopecia (healed, in Jesus' Name!), I want my beautiful hair back -today-

I know I should probably post this in another thread, but you guys are soo knowledgeable, im just gonna put it out there...but i'm really new to caring for my own hair, so I'm learning as I go...i don't want to get a relaxer, i've made it since January, and my hopes are to go natural...

I know in my knower you guys can help me...I need a big sis to show me the ropes...PMs are very welcomed...

Be Blessed, *~Br*nze~*

caribgirl, I believe this would be a great regiment except you mentioned nothing about pooing and deep conditioning your hair at all, which could possibly set you up for product overload. I do know that cowashing over time causes product buildup so you might want to consider adding some Nutrine garlic poo (for posssible shedding) once a week to 10 days and a clarifying poo once a month to your regiment for the build-up.

If you choose not to get the garlic poo then get some garlic pills and take it internally which I recommend more. I have been taking garlic supplements for years now and that could be an additional reason why I haven't been experiencing the shedding that most of the ladies here has been experiencing.
