I'm sorry honey, but I have never used the creme rinse this way. Perhaps there are some that have tried it and will chime in soon.

I use the Premier Rinse, mixed with Elasta QP & other goodies when I'm steaming my hair, sometimes.
 
Wow..ok so MN mixed with MT (or CT) ...good idea, I wonder what results these users are getting?

Stop It Girl!
O my... I just got a retouch Saturday. I was going to wait a week to start using the MT again but I couldn't I was too excited. Everytime somebody posts a picture or something I get so excited. How mucn NG would you say there is. Please don't tell me you have an inch...I think I am going to faint...

I'm actually going to try to measure when I get home tonight... if I can find my ruler. :ohwell: I'm in the middle of packing up my stuff for a move.

It's definitely A LOT more than when I am usually 3 weeks post.

I'll definitely post results for this one - I need to take starting pics in the next day or two, as my oil is almost done.

Ohhhhhhhhh :bighug: Sometimes it so hard to keep up with this thread.

If you are speaking about the OCT Cream Rinse as a deep conditioner, I've used it once, but it too expensive to use it as a DC all the time.

Also, I did not use heat. (I've been away from heat for quite a while).

I just covered my hair with a plastic cap and left it on for over an hour then rinsed it out. It makes the hair so soft. You can see it in my pictures below.

But to answer your question...heat is not needed for this to be effective as a good DC. Okay angel? :yep:

Justkiya, how do you steam your hair? Do you have a hair steamer or do you use an 'alternate' method.

I want to buy a steamer, but........................................ :rolleyes:. I have so much stuff now and no room to put it. :lachen: I still want one though. :spinning:

I user the home grown method - two steaming hot dishtowels, two shower caps, and a soft bonnet dryer. :lachen:

SamJones started the thread on the home grown technique - I try to do it at LEAST twice a month - my hair appreciates it so!

I want in on this challenge. I ordered my megatek last week and I am hoping that I will get it soon.

I am new here so I will give a little intro.

I went crazy and shaved all my hair. I have eczema and it attacked my scalp something awful. My scalp at one point looked like crop circles and the hair that I did have was so dry and uneven that I just threw in the towel. I am starting over and my goal is a gigantic afropuff that is healthy and strong.

I've lurked on the boards for about a week and decided that I needed to get off my duff and get the growing going.

I have dry skin and scalp and so I ordered some essential oils and will experiment to find something that will keep my scalp moisturized.

Until my megatek comes I am trying cayenne pepper and castor oil. My mother brought some back from Jamaica awhile ago that I had stashed in the fridge. I saw it on another posting and decided to try it.

I wash my hair everyday and I use Burt's Bees shampoo and conditioner.

Ladies, I have a confession. I know nothing about hair. I am hoping to learn how to take care of my hair and maybe someday passing the info on to my daughter.[/quote]


graceunderfire, I hear you. I will be 57 years old next month & I just started learning how to take care of my hair in March/April of this year. We feel you, lady. And every time I learn something here, I am on the phone to my daughter teaching her what I've learned.

Welcome & happy hair growing

How do you ladies incorporate protein into your regimen? MT contains keratin, marine protein, and amino acids. Do you ladies use Aphogee (hard) or any other protein while using this? Or should I just stay away from it all together while using MT? Maybe I can stop using MT for the few days after I wash my hair and before I use Aphogee, b/c I still want to keep Aphogee as my pre-relaxer treatment.

I've stopped using any additional protein treatment, and since I've been MT'ing, I've only used henna once.

I'm natural, though, and my hair doesn't seem to need much protein. Though, after reading that other thread, I'm wondering.

Lebiya, let me preface by saying I will mix up just about anything. Always have. When Tropicana Twisters came out, my kids said, "Mom you made these long before Tropicana". So I LOVE mixing. However, I do believe that if you mix nothing with these products, they wwill work, so do what is best for you and your hair.

Now, my mix is Lady Aggie's recipe wwith my own MN mix (had some already so decided not to let it go t waste), plus JK's honeyquat, Vit. E oil & SAA and then I already had MoeGro oil made so I threw some of that in.

So my results were with that formulation (MT+ MN, + MOEGRO). I have not yet tried it alone. Like Aggie, I got so much stuff lying around, that I might as well use it & I LOVE mixing.

As a matter of fact, Januarynoir had to calm me down when I wrote her about a henna mix I was thinking of. She reminded me to slow down & NOT wreck this amazing growth I have, so I did. Whew!!! LOL

Precious Wavy, how long do you leave your MT or OCT on your scalp before you rinse it out?

I stopped using it as a 'leave-in' because it was too strong and drying for my hair. Now I usually leave it on my scalp a minimum of an hour, covered with a plastic cap, then I rinse and condition my hair and then let it air dry.

Thanks angel :giveheart:

I leave it in overnight and then do a CW. Most times though, I don't rinse out, just repeat. Remember, I only alternate...(ie: Monday (OCT), Wed (MT) Friday (OCT) etc.) I don't use it everynight...you really don't have too. I never use it on the length of my hair anymore...I just use Aubrey Organics GPB for protein treatments.

HTH

Thanks angel pie... :kiss:

I have a facial steamer that I tried using.... let's just say you'd have been howling if you had seen me under the make-shift tent that I had over the facial steamer... :rofl: :lachen:

I had to sit as stiff as a 3 week old loaf of french bread. Couldn't move my neck or anything just to keep the make shift 'tent' from coming loose from the facial steamer's plastic shiield. I used a large plastic kitchen trash bag --- clean from the box :rolleyes: -- and cut a hole in the bottom to fit over the facial steamer; then I taped it to the bottom so that it wouldn't come off. The other end of the bag, I placed over my head and pulled the ties of the bag together to tighten it over my head. (get the picture? :lol:)

Now the steam was coming out good and pretty strong, but I just couldn't move my head or my body in order for the steam to stay aimed at my hair. My neck was so crooked when I finished. :drunk:

Lawd.....I need to just buy a real hair steamer is all. :drunk: I can't do that one again. :lol:
 
:lachen: :lachen:

Have mercy, Shimmie!!! Girl, we don't want you to throw your neck out trying to steam your hair!

Go get a lil soft bonnet and leave the facial steamer alone! :lol:

Thanks Darlin' :kiss: I just wanted to make sure.

I just decided to try the Mega Tek and I ordered my first bottle of it last night. AND I used the $10 off $20 coupon which blessed me with only 95 cents for shipping... :happydance: God is awesome!

Although I'm still using OCT, I wanted to see how MT worked for me as well. It's less money and if it works as well OCT then I can transition to the MT and save money as well. I love OCT, so I'll still use it, but I won't have to re-order as often.

thanks. I still may use it pre relaxer but chill out with the MT for the few days before I do. Any relaxed heads want to chime in? Thanks JustKiya!

:lachen::lachen::lachen:Girl, it was funny. :rofl: But you know what? I have a soft bonnet. It's a "Daisy" (the brand) and I've had it for years ... :rolleyes:. I have to pull it out of hiding as I don't use heat on my hair. But if I can use it as a steamer, then I'll try it. The method you use sounds great. :yep:

I have PLENTY of plastic caps and I even have one of those mylar gold ones which I haven't used yet. Hmmmmmmmm :scratchch:

No, MT was enough protein for me.

I made the mistake of using a protein conditioner after one of my washes and :nono: :nono: :nono: Hair breaking everywhere. It was not cute. Just put the Aphogee down and slowly back away.
