Well. The directions that come with the product are NOT how most ladies are using it, if I remember properly.
Most ladies are simply rubbing it into their scalp, and leaving it until the next time they wash. They are NOT using it on their full length of hair (as I think the directions state) unless they are using the MT as an intense protein treatment, rather than a growth aid.
For example, I apply my MTmix on my scalp daily, and I'll wash/DC/cowash when I feel like it. I usually try to NOT use it right before I'm about to wash, as I like to give it as much time as possible to sit on my scalp.I don't know if it makes a difference, but it makes me happy.
Personally, the reason that I came up with the mix that I did, was in an attempt to make the MT more like the OCT, by filling in the 'different' ingredients - esp. since I had them all in my cabinet, already!I think some other ladies add the oils to make it less drying, and/or because they are just mad mixtresses![/quote]
Thank you, directly to the scalp will be the route i take =)
Thank you LuyshuZ!!!! As JustKiya said, most ladies here are applying only to the scalp.
I mixed my MT with some jojoba oil, castor oil, coconut oil, and some drops of rosemary and lavender oil plus some water to make it easyer to apply directly to my scalp. I usually apply it everyday, when not using OCT intead or just feeling too lazy to apply to my scalp.I like my mixture, but I think I added too much oil the first time and my roots felt greasy. But I haven't had any drying or itchiness. My hair also feels soft when I mix MT with oils. I tried applying the pure MT directly to my scalp and my roots felt a little dryer than with the oil mix.
For my OCT, since It's preety good itself, I don't mix with any oil, but I add a lil water to the aplicator bottle to make it last longer and also to be a little easyer to apply to my scalp, since OCT is very thick. I do not do cowashes yet, but I'm willing to try. I wash my hair 1-2 times a week and I do not get a lot of build-up. Also, I started doing DC and/or hot oil treatments once a week to balance with all the protein from OCT/MT. Once in a while I also add OCT to my ends, but I only apply the night before I'm sure I will wash my hair. I don't like the protein sitting on my hair lengh for over 24 hours. And remember, the secret to balance the addition of too much protein to our hair is to MOISTURIZE it!
Hope it helpsBut take a look at the first page of this thread, there's some great OCT/MT mix recipes
HAPPY HAIR GROWING!!!
