Well consider yourself lucky. My mailman just leaves the ish right outside out in the open for all to see if no one answers the door :wallbash:. Thank god that when he did that with my MT no one stole it.

:rofl: Cookie, you are too funny. Not the heart attack......:nono: But the point presented. :lol:

cocoaluv, I'm glad your MT was kept safe by the LHCF angels. :yep: Hey, we have each other's backs here. :yep: Don't nobody mess with our products. :lachen:

OR...... Use the Alter Ego Garlic Conditioning Creme. It's wonderful and you can't go wrong with it. It truly lessens and ELIMINATES shedding.

Hey shimmie

Are you doing a moisturising deep condition after your home made mix?
 
I missed the mail man today too. Found a card on my door mat.

I'm gonna go to the post office early before work instead of waiting until the weekend:look:
 
Thanks Shimmie. I thought this was the right product but i wanted to be sure. In my discovery for the Alter Ego Garlic Treamtment I found that they have a New Nourishing Deep Conditioner with Garlic. The product you provided the link to below is a Hot Oil Treatment. I wonder which one works best. They seem to have similar ingredients. Has anyone tried this conditioner? I wonder how New it is. Here's a picture. It might be big.

:wave: Hi eroberson,

I purchased mine from Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Alter-EGO-Treatment-Garlic-1000ml/dp/B000T9ZCL4

BUT......... you may be able to find it at your local BSS near the Ethnic or the Dominican hair care products.

Sickbay also sells it online, but each time I've tried to order it, they were out of stock. So I opted for Amazon because I was in a hurry to try it. :lol:

Oh!...... there's a discount code in this thread from our forum. Here's the link:

ETA: Ladies, I just thought of this. I'm sorry for not placing this in my prior posts above. It's just that each time I've tried to order Alter Ego from Sick Bay, it was out of stock. :lol:

Hope this helps someone.

Hey ladies.... :wavey:

I have a question. For those ladies using MT who rollerset under the dryer - do you put the MT on your scalp first? My first mind says that it's kind of pointless to put the MT on my scalp then sit under the dryer, because the dryer will just 'dry' the MT and it won't absorb into my scalp. But I'm no expert so I figured I'd ask.

Thanks in advance! :)

You've gotten an inch of growth in just 11days?!?!? HOW AMAZING! Wow...I need to up my application lol!
 
prettykinks said:
I apply everyday. About 4 days ago I started applying in the morning and at night. At night I focus on my edges and I only use very little on my scalp.
Click to expand...

I think I will try applying it twice a day..if I have any issues I can always go back to just applying it once again. Thanks for sharing your amazing progress!
 
Well, got my MT today and just applied to my scalp. I didn't know it was a cream but I mixed it with SAA and castor oil and it felt good going on my scalp.

I had a little drama with my order from easypet.com. I ordered on the 16th, they sent info to USPS on the 17th and then nothing until the 23rd when it was delivered. I live in a apartment complex and all the mailboxes are up front. When I get a package the postman will put it in a special (bigger) mailbox and leave the key in my mailbox. Well, he gave me the wrong key so I had to call them today and have them give me the right one. Finally, this evening I got my MT.
 
i too wonder if i would get more growth if i applied everyday; i did that the first week but now i am in the second week and sometimes i just cant be bothered, so i have been doing it every other day. still getting growth (no measurements yet) but still makes me wonder...
 
I am loving your hair right now..Very shiney.....

Sparkle,

I started using it everyday about 2 weeks ago, I notice a difference!
I can definitely see more growth. My hair usually spurts closer to the 2nd month of my relaxer but it is growing steady. I have a half inch and maybe 3/4 inch some places in the back. I started shedding this week, even with garlic supplements and I did a treatment last week. I am doing another one this week.

On the Garlic Tip,

Nutrine Garlic Poo and Conditioner worked well for me. I purchased them from www.iBeautyNY.com . Jackie Lopez is a great sales manager...she'll advise you on what products are great...and she won't push the most expensive products, either. I also purchased 5000mg Garlic Capsules (took 3 daily for first 2 weeks, now taking 2) from Puritan's Pride and made my own garlic oil using an entire head of garlic and evoo (about 2 cups...)...everyone I've shared the garlic oil with comes back for more...:yep:

HTH!!!

I think

Hey all, FYI, the Nutrine products are very cheap on Amazon. The Garlic conditioners and shampoos are cheaper there as well. They are as cheap as $4.99

Any suggestions for choosing between the scented and unscented? I would guess that the properties are pretty much the same.
Also, they have the tub and the bottle version, same ounces, and there is also a Deep Conditioner versus a regular conditioner.
 
i dont think mega tek is working as quickly for me as it has been everyone else. i have been using it for a little over 2 weeks and i definitely dont have an inch... or even a half... at least i dont think so because im not even 100% sure how an inch of ng looks. i need to find a ruler so i can know for sure, but i dont even know if my waves are ng at all or just reversion.

im leery of getting excited about ng because no matter how much it looks like i have a lot of ng when i straighten i hardly ever see any real difference... i think i better just apply this for the cosmetic benefits (my hair feels better) but not get my hopes up for a lot of length. boo. :sad:
 
Ok i got mine. I got up early this morning and went to the sorting office to collect the packet :look:

I was late for work - i just had to try it as soon as possible.

I had already oiled my scalp that morning so i applied it straight from the jar. I applied tiny amounts and my scalp felt cool. Stopped the itching i had been having for the past 2 days. I put a small amount of oil to the length of my hair.

My hair doesn't like water based products on dry hair so i hope i don't get any frizz.

I bought some garlic capsules to stop any shedding (i shed like crazy as it is so i hopes it helps)

I'm looking forward to results :yep:.

Yeah I agree with you and think you should keep applying MT for awhile to see how it goes before giving it up. I noticed that before my relaxer on tuesday my ng had been softer and a bit more wavey.

I have been putting the MT on my mom's temples and the top of my fathers head daily for the past two weeks and I have seen great improvement. My moms temples are filling in very well and she says she and her co-workers have noticed a diference. I think growth through MT is a lot more noticable when your hair is shorter but I plan on continuing with my MT reggie.

That $4 for shipping is a BLESSING and Sweetgal so are you. :bighug:

Some of the other vendors actually add an addtional fee for orders under $50 which is the same as increasing the price of the product. Horsebraids is not only priced lower, but they don't increase the price when you don't meet the minimum.

Thanks again so much for making my shopping so much easier. We have to add this Merchant to our list at the top of this thread for Mega Tek supplies.

Love it :love4: And you too :giveheart:

Awww your very welcome, but I cant take all the credit, some form the board recommended shared this website with me.. I look at all the other sites but they didn't ship to Canada,and when they did they only caring the coat rebuilder (which is expensive). I called the horse places and not many carried the product or else the shipping was also very expensive.

This distributer was the only one that i found that had all the good products, ships to canada and ships through the post office, his price is very resaonable and shipping didn't kill me.

I paid about $50.00 in total to have ovation shipped their product to me. Ovation charged me shipping fees of about $25.00 (which was fine) But then UPS charged me another $25.00 to release the product...:wallbash: I was not expecting this so i was really angry.

I think it works differently for some people... I know a few ladies didn't notice a difference in the amount of newgrowth right away, but noticed softness/thickness, etc. Then after about a month of using it consistantly, BAM, the newgrowth started popping. :yep: (This was my experience with OCT. The first month I was like, Hey this is some bull, I spent $56 dollas for what?!?!? :lol: Then after that, the newgrowth just got crazy.. :yep: I'm sure it will be the same for MT.)

I would say yep, keep using it on your scalp for about a month - 6 weeks. I'm sure you'll begin to notice growth.

HTH. :)
 
I agree with the others givie it some time honey. Errbody head is different. I noticed a different when I started using it straight out of the bottle.
