thread.

thanks I did see those I just didn't want to pick the one that took 2 weeks to get the shipment to that 1 girl I was reading about. Also I want one that takes paypal. One does I guess i'll pick that one and see how they do!!

Argg these white hairs are so annoying. I have a few new ones right in the front, my friend even noticed them & I'm only 20. When did the white hairs stop appearing for you guys (if they ever did)?

you know I noticed a few also so i pulled one out and inspected it. for me anyways the white stuff was like a coating that could be peeled off if you scratched at it, i don't know what it is like a keratin coat or something. there were only a few so I barely noticed try washing them i think it's just strands that got too much b/c i'm 24 so they aren't really white!!

Okay, I don't feel like I'm seeing growth...

I will admit, I stopped this whole week, but it's partially discouragement.
My texutre is softer and easier to deal with, but no growth.

I'll keep trying...

Carlee from Ovation said recently that soon customers can join up to get the system regularly and this would include free shipping. Like joining the Ovation club.


Twice now I have had a bump on my scalp........like a big painful zit. Either from clogged pores (or as I like to think, from fast growth-yeah I know, I am a bit delusional). I had to stop OCT for 2 days and then it would go. I think I am gonna try and apply every other day even though I don't get as fast a growth when I apply less than daily.

You know what I did too, but it went away. I was like I've never had a bump on my scalp like that before.....ever. But I kept using MT and it's been a couple of weeks and it hasn't returned. I was getting worried.

Aggie, on the day that you leave it on for 5 minutes, do you condition your hair after rinsing the Megatek out?

Anyone? Are you all using conditioner after rinsing out the megatek?

 

[VirGoViXxEn]

Anyone? Are you all using conditioner after rinsing out the megatek?

I do only b/c my hair is harder to come through and i am scared of shedding. I usually apply the mega tek as a leave in for 5 minutes before i deep condition.

Hope this helps

Thanks. I Thought that conditioning afterwards somehow decrease the benefits of megatek. However, it is my only option because megatek makes my hair so hard that I have to use a moisturizing conditioner after rinsing it out just to soften it.

I bought mine from kvvet.com. It shipped the same day that I ordered the product and took three days to get here. The shipping wasn't bad...I think I paid 29.95 (including shipping).

Oh no, we had that removed already about a month ago or so. Allthe ones there now are reputable for good service and fast delivery so far.

 

[Aggie]

Aggie, on the day that you leave it on for 5 minutes, do you condition your hair after rinsing the Megatek out?

yes I do, becuase the MT is like a protein treatment right? So it's best to deep condition your hair with a moisturizing conditioner for about 30 minutes or so, okay?

TLD, I didn't see much growth at all for the first 5 weeks of using MT/OCT but now it seems like it's finally moving. I believe it's because I am not diluting it so much anymore. Now I use it almost full strength and have been doing it this way for about 3 weeks only. I know that I won't have all the growth that I initially expected but I sure did get some thickness and if that is the only benefit I get from these 2 products then I will still be very happy because my hair is so fine and I really needed more denisty anyway.

I will keep using them for the purpose of thickness and if it starts to grow longer as a result, then I will be very happy of course. Anyway my September reveal may not be impressive but I am happy with the overall health, manageability and thickness so far. I did trim a 1/2" off last Monday (dang, a whole months progress, could you believe that) and now I wish I didn't.

ETA: oooh, the lack of growth could be contributed to my Master Cleanse as well. No nutrition could play a contributing factor to slower hair growth I guess. I believe I will be seeing some really nice growth soon since the toxins are still working their way out of my body and there will be no more toxins in me to slow down my progress. I am considering going on 50% raw foods first then work my way up to 75 or 80% raw eventually, hopefully by March or May of 2009. I want to do this for overall health. Wish me luck ya'll

Thanks Agg! . I'm sure I just need to be patient. I don't dilute it at all, but I have onyl been using it for about 4-5 weeks... I'll just keep trying.

*taking a break from reading this post to check in* It's been a week today and I can feel some thickness going on. It's been said before, but this MT sho nuff is da troof!!
*goes back to reading post*

 

[lilsparkle825]

ugh...i just sat here smelling like a spaghetti dinner for an hour and my hands still came out of my scalp covered in hair. i *did* notice that the shed hairs are longer, but at the same time there are wayyy too many. i'm off to read joyandfaith's post about garlic tabs again, then i'm going to wally world to pick up a bottle.

Hi, Ladies, sorry it has been awhile. I have had a rotten summer cold & promised tasks seemed to all collided at the same time so I have been extremely busy with work, etc. Anyway, I had a most interesting revelation a couple of nights ago. I was feeling pretty discouraged because I was not seeing much growth. Now I realize have a lot of shrinkage - I'd say 85% - I mean - zoop -just shrinks up. Well, a couple of nights ago I decided to take my large afro pick/rake & comb my hair out. I never, ever do this. Well, my twa is no longer a twa. I got a fro, yall - a real fro. But once I put gel or my leave in & it dries (even before it dries) - zoop - shrunk up. I also got my camera & sat and look at my before pictures taken at the end of June. I have a lot more than the ones I posted. OMG, I was bald - I mean my edges were just empty. I have so much more hair there now. And overall, my hair is longer & thicker. I think no one will see the length unless I flat iron it.

So, I realized, that when I am looking at my hair too hard, too often & with the bald spots filled in (check that out - I said filled in) it is more difficult to see the growth. Then when I take a step back, look at the pictures & take a really good look (especially comparing it with the earlier pix) - I am amazed. I think I have seen too many long haired women here & just often feel I am NEVER, EVER gonna get there. But deep now I realize it is happening.

<patience, girl, patience> LOL

I'm currently growing out of short cut I did last summer , but I have chopped some since then, I'm about 4 to 5 inches all over , I am relaxed , don't know my type cause I don't know where to find the type codes, I tried to upload a pic. , but it didn't work, I need a little help learning to navigate around the site. I just ordered MegaTek & it shipped today!!, I would love to join the challenge ( need help doing that too) thank you ladies .

Its 2:18 am and I can't sleep so I decided to get my lazy butt up and wash my hair with conditioner and salt. I've been dying to try this despite some people on the board saying they didn't particularly care for it. Wow! It really made my hair so soft! I will definitely try this once a month. I then rinsed, applied a leave-in, and added my Mega Tek. I was only able to apply MT twice during my Arizona trip last week due to my crazy schedule. I am now back on track. My one year anniversary is Sept 23rd and I'm REALLY hoping for bra strap length hair

Hope you ladies are doing well!

Add me to the 'can't sleep club' I just took off my baggy and added more conditioner to my hair, re-baggied then signed on to LHCF I already know that I'm going to pay for this when it's actually time for me to get up and get ready for daycare and work.

If you have a 100% garlic paste. Absolutely NOTHING added to it. Texture of the garlic is ultra fine. How would YOU use it in order to combat shedding. I am not experiencing any increased shedding, so I am thinking about using garlic as a preventive measure.

TIA

I would add either some EVOO, jojoba oil, or coconut oil, the do a hot oil treatment. Mix the garlic paste and one of the oils together. Nuke in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Apply to the hair and scalp and massage. Cover with a conditioning cap, the cover with a hot, web towel, and apply another shower cap on top of that. Make sure you focus on the ends when applying the garlic/oil. Then shampoo and condition as usual...

Thanks again!!!
this was me last summer after a BC, it has grown a lot since then, I will use your advice to start posting pics.

 

[trinidarkie1]

Hi, all, week 2. No growth yet. I'm patiently waiting.
I've gotten tired of applying it every night, so I do at least 3x per week. My hair looks great, nice and shiny especially with the JBCO and WGO mix.

Shedding is here, I am glad that I was prepared because I would have freaked out.

Sounds like you have a pre-made Garlic Solution. The Garlic is the Key ingredient and the paste is a 'mover', in other words the substance to make it easier to apply. Tha same as you would add an oil to 'move' the product. This seems to make it easier to apply to the scalp without having oil which runs down my neck

I think I'll try this, the Garlic Paste. Thanks for sharing this. I think it's a great idea.

Thanks angel
