The biggest concern with CO washing is build-up. The soy milk protein should not be a problem because you will be rinsing out right-away. So I say give it a try and see how your hair reacts.
Personally, I alternate between VO5 Herbal escapes kiwi lime squeeze Clarifying condish and Cowboy Magic Concentrated Rosewater Condish Demineralizer & Detangler. The water here in Germany is very hard (high in calcium) and it leaves a film on my skin and hair. These two conditioners work well to prevent the calcium build up. I found the Cowboy Magic on the www.valleyvet.com website - this is where I bought the MegaTek. I prefer the Cowboy Magic over the VO5 but they both work well.

I'm getting a little discouraged now. I was hoping for SL by Dec but now, I'm not sure if that will happen.
My hair is still uneven. I'm mostly neck length but I have a few strands that are grazing collarbone length. My nape isn't growing as well as I planned. I'm going to stay on MT and hope that I can see some improvement.

I just typed this long response and my darn browser had logged me out...
But because I love you ladies...here goes again (modified)
I haven't posted in a while bc I'm settling in my new home...anyhoo'
I'm finally out of my braids. I wore them from July thru Nov. I gained some inches and did retain but I am slightly trimming damaged ends every wash day. Anywho'...since being out of my braids I have finally found a regimen and I'm STICKING TO it!!
**I put my slightly moist, detangled hair in 5-6 plaits
**I apply OCT to my entire head, then leave on usually for 5 mins...but last night I left on overnight
**I hop in the shower and rinse it out, then use the OCT Color Poo and rinse out, then I apply the OCT Creme Rinse and leave that in while I bathe.
**Once out of shower, I apply AO Honeysuckle Rose to my entire head (i still have the plaits in)
**Next I follow Samantha Jones Home Grown STEAM Treatment and get under Pibbs for 1 hour at the max. temp setting.
**I rinse, then remove plaits
**Next I apply my leave-in, seal with coconut oil
**Lastly I rollerset using only distilled water and Profective Healthy ends creme on my ends only...
LADIES!!! If you have not tried this steam streament....you are missing out...My hair has done a complete 180 since adding this to my regimen....I really need the mositure and my hair is sooo soft, detangled, and mostly tangle free after I rinse. I do this treatment every week, and it solves the moisture provlem while using OCT/MT[/I]
Now about OCT/MT...
*I am now back to using mainly OCT...I found that MT causes me to have more shedding...although while I was in braids, I def think this increased the thickness in my hair.
*So..I will be reordering my OCT in a few days..
**I found that a few strands of my hair is missing around the edges in the front...is this shed hair? Did the MT cause this? I dunno...but it's definitely gone...it's not bald...but it's now little curlies there..
My goal now is not trying to gain the most hair in the shortest amount of time...but to keep what I have and trim unhealthy ends.
So I'm in maintenance mode with OCT products. I truly like the way the complete OCT line makes my hair feel and use those excusively for my shampoo.
I plan to use up my MT...but I don't think I'll repurchase it for now.
Since out of braids and wearing my hair rollersetted, I may apply the OCT 1x or 2x per week to my scalp..
I'm about simplicitly now, and less manipulation. The length will def come...

I'm still using MT/OCT every other day and during the off days I am spraying my scalp with my caffeine/water mixture. Just this morning I had my husband massage my scalp with MT/OCT then I put on my conditioning cap. My scalp is singing as we speak. He also took notice that the thin spot in my crown is filling in. I asked him when did he think that I would be able to wear a part down the middle of my hair and he said maybe in a few months.

LaNecia aka VWVixxen checking in...haven't been much into hair care for the past 4 months. Had some major life changes, moved from Southern Cali to Washington to State where there is VERY little in the way of black hair care, new job/career, getting our first home set up next week.
Anyway, back on track after having put in two strand twists for July - October. Did a texturizer and am currently using my Mega-Tek daily. AFter having done a big chop in April (down to about 2 inches), I'm ready to get back to shoulder length and beyond.
My December reveal won't show much but for me, that's my starting point rather than an end...

Aww...isn't your DH sweet. My DH will no way touch the horsey stuff. I'm so tempted to try it on his head. He has a bald spot in the middle of his head. Shhh....I think I'll rub it there while he's sleeping.
Girl, you know we got your back for the black hair products!

There are few ladies who are wearing wigs and weaves. I think jamaicalovely is wearing a wig and putting MT/OCT on her braids. Check out her fotki.

I am using MT/OCT while wearing weaves. I apply the mix on scalp between braids with a color applicator bottle. I have documented results in my fotki.
