STEP IT UP ON THE GROWTH AIDS..PART 2

[Anashja]

Still waiting on my MT, but I'll put some BT in tonight.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I'm using up my Hairveda 3-6-9 oil which is going to be on of my growth aids that I rotate throughout 2009....

I'm actually reconsidering how I wear my hair in for protective styling so that I can use my growth aids with greater ease.

ETA: I also want to check into the weekly coffee/tea rinses....

 

[Lanea87]

I have been applying my MN/MTG mix every other night. I will up that to every night once 09 hits.

I've been doing great with my MSM so far. Only missed half a day because I fell asleep before it was time to take it. I really, really hope I can retain length and see some results! Also on the egg smoothie now.

I have a big bottle of MTG that I haven't used yet. I'm thinking about mixing it with something to mask the scent. Peppermint oil didn't work for me when I used MTG earlier this year. I have an MT mix right now and I'm still using Ayurvedic powders.

Adding in BT tonight...still waiting on my MT to arrive in the mail...

I hope you get your MT soon. WHat site did you order it from?

 

[Mandy4610]

I tried something new today. I did a prepoo with oil and then I did a Baking soda and conditioner treatment, then I DCed for 15min with my OCT and I will do a moisturizing DC since OCT is protein.
Well, it was a very positive experiment. My hair felt great.
Maybe I will switch to using OCT this way, twice a week (at each wash)
I will ask the OCT experts and see what they say

I just ordered Bee Mine and I plan to use it with MT. This is going to be my main topical treatment for the year. I'm going to need to order some MT in a month or two...

Darn...I ordered my MT from Eqyss on 12/21 and havnt recieved it yet! Im sure its because of the holidays.

Girl...I ordered some BT like 3 weeks ago and I am STILL waiting on it.

I plan on using MT everyday, and MN on days when I need a protein break or will be out of the house for work or sleep overs. I co-was 3-4 times a week but will probably increase due to work out schedule. The MN is easier to toss in to your bag and will be less likely to leak. I started using MN a month ago, and switched to MT almost two weeks ago. I don't know my beginning stats because my hair wasn't stretched or straightened but I definitely gained an inch, and can tell from bang pics. I'm currently shoulder length and I'm looking forward to APL in the short term and waist length curls that aren't stretched in the long term. Here's my starting pics taken early today
EDIT* I forgot to mention that I'm taking the trader joes womens hair and nail multivitamin with the pink label.

Well I bought some MT a couple weeks ago and received my OCT Saturday. I've been alternating between the 2, never letting more than a day go by without applying one of them.
OCT, I apply straight and leave in. MT, I mix with oil and try to wash/cowash the next day.
So far so good! I think I see an extra couple of milimeters! But seriously, I've got the "growth itchies" and my scalp is NOT sensitive, so it must be the growth aids!

 

[Junebug D]

I've been using MSM for about 3-4 weeks now; biotin for about 2 weeks, and MN for about a week (used 3x so far)... and I think I have new growth since I had my hair straightened on the 20th. It may be reversion though, but it's only the roots that are nappy and it's even, tight fuzz all over. erplexed So I'll say it's new growth!

 

[Peace in Prose]

I'm in. I have a MT mix with WGO and I think I will mix up some sulphur with jojoba oil and alternate everyday.

I wash my hair everyday out of habit and I am scared to wait a day or two. There no adverse effects, b/c I have a TWA, but I was thinking about letting the growth aides sit on my scalp.

Would it make a difference, because I love my condish washes.

I really don't do much at this stage concerning protective styles, just a head wrap or for something special I throw on my FreeTress Bali wig.

My starting point is my avatar and I hope to be neck length by March or April, although I won't be too disappointed if I don't make it. I am just enjoying this moment in my life. I BC'ed and my husband didn't divorce me because of it, LOL! He just said I must stick to it, because I give up easily.

Also, I will take my vits regularly!!!!

 

[lawyer2be371]

I'm in current length 4 inches to APL
Goal APL APRIL 2009

 

[ParvaniVida]

I'm in! I have OCT and MT. I haven't really been using them much since I had kinky twists for about six weeks. I will be ordering another bottle of MT and will be using OCT until it arrives.

I just ordered Bee Mine and I plan to use it with MT. This is going to be my main topical treatment for the year. I'm going to need to order some MT in a month or two...

Any tips for using both of these? I have beemine and was going to order Mega Tek and use both alternating. Are you using them together at the same time or separately alternating every other day or so? TIA.

 

[Tamrin]

I got my OCT yesterday ( no issues this time) and I have MT and MN... thick healthy BSL here I come. :Copy of 2cool:

I'm thinking I might use them separate, the BeeMine on one day and the MT on another for a while and see what I get.

Another option would be to mix the MT and the BeeMine and be sure to shake well before each use.

I personally don't mind using the BeeMine daily because I know my hair loves sulfur. We shall see, I haven't made up my mind yet :scratchch

ETA: one in the morning and the other at night ? I have to ponder this some more...

My Bee Mine came in today. I just put some on and it smells so good

 

[Jazzmommy]

Count me in as well. I have a bottle of BT that I can dust off and use until I order MT... just a little nervous about the shedding but willing to give it a try and will use garlic tablets.

 

[alopeciagrl]

Count me in too...

My current length: bottom of the neck in back, chin length in the front

I will be using carrier oils such as almond oil, grapeseed and emu oils. Essential oils such as lavender, rosemary, pepermint etc. Herbs such as horsetail, burdock, and nettles, Maybe someday I wil try MT or OCT if I see growth slowing down or taking too long. Also cowashing using a rosemary and sage rinse.

I am so happy for you guys. Per fedex tracking my MT was delivered yesterday!! Supposedly left at my door at 1pm!!! with my family home cooking that is highly unlikely!!! WHERE IS MY MT????? Im just going to get me som MN and take some slow deep breaths so I can GET STARTED!!!

 

[TrendySocialite]

I want in. I received a great amount of growth with MN...so this is what I'll be using. I'm also in MN dozens, so this will work nicely.

My goal is APL by Summer 09. My beginning pic is in my siggy and below as well.

 

[Anashja]

I ordered some MT (megatek) apparently its arriving on the 7th. I saw some say to apply everyday...its a shampoo isnt it? Or did I get the wrong think? Is there an actual creme or oil you put on your head?

 

[basic64]

I GOT MY MEGA TEK!!!!!!!!! IT WAS LEFT AT MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE YESTERDAY. So I just put it on. I mixed mine with a coconut oil. Im growing, Im growing, Im growing, LOL this is fun.

You need the Mega Tek rebuilder. It has the consistency of a thick conditioner and it smell really good. It is not a shampoo.

 

[Lanea87]

I am still using my MN and MTG mix, every other night. Imma see if I can up that to daily for 09. Or imma do my mix one day and my Surge the other days.....
