I've been in this challenge since september, but I'm not listed. Please add me:grin:! Well I'm in braids till January, 2009, so I can quit messing with my hair, lol. I apply OCT 3+ times a week, I cowash once a week with dilluted Bioinfusion hydrating conditioning balm, and moisturize daily with Care Free Curl Insant Moisture while I am in braids. I'm also spraying infusium 23 on my braids 1-2 times a week (C&G method).



I may continue wearing braids until next summer or longer if I get good growth retention this way.

Oh my goodness DSD! That is some major progress. I've been using MT since 9/15 and I'm currently in a sew-in. I hope I have as much progress as you when I get my sew-in taken down in December. Keep it up girl!

I looked at my hair today and for once I feel like progress is a coming... I can't wait to compare my start pictures in August to December. I got a trim in September as well. What I did was just put about 1/2 oz of SAA in my applicator bottle with 8ozs of MT.. I think it helped it alot this go around. My bottle of OCT just came.. I think I might try that after the reveal in December.

I'm glad to see the November thread. I'm really starting to look forward to these from month to month. I've been doing the OCT for almost a full month now and am really liking the results. I also use the BT on my scalp about 3X's a week and the Vatika coconut oil on my hair. I have a fresh relaxer and plan to bun for at least the next two weeks. I use the Hairveda whipped gelly to bun when my hair is wet or the shealoe to bun when my hair has already air dried. I took a picture in my DSD progress shirt for the first time today. I do think my hair has grown quite a bit, but I can't say for sure since this was my first photo in the shirt. I admit, I was hesitant initially to even get the shirt because I thought my hair was too short to reach even the first line on it. It was at 2.5 when I took the picture. Time will tell at what rate it's actually growing.

Great progress DSD!!

Well I decided to live a little dangerously (not recommended for everyone) and put a little of my MT mix with my JBCO and Hairveda's Asha Omega on my ends and on top of that I put my Hairveda's Whipped Shea Aloe Mousse, Whipped Gelly and sealed with a little more JBCO and boy, oh boy, my two-strand twists look and feel lovely. I'm probably going to put the MT mix on my ends weekly and see how they do, whether it dries it out or if it actually makes my ends a little thicker which is the goal I'm hoping for :yep:.

Happy growing this month to all :grin:!!!

Nice growth DSD. Ya'll are making me nervous 'cause I'm not sure how much my hair has grown. I know it is thicker and some of my spots have filled in some but, not any thing like the growth DSD is showing.

Also, my ng is super fine and straight, there is lots of it but, it is almost like baby hair. I already have fine hair but, now I have two very different textures, 3a and 4a, unfortunately the 4a is in the very front and top of my head, go figure....

Can you please add me to this challenge. I have been using Megatek since 10/1/08 and it is the bomb.

For those individuals who are living dangerously and putting megatek on the ends please be careful. When I initially did this my hair felt so good, but I started seeing broken pieces of hair in my sink when I was combing. I got protein overload. I had to deep condition and use a reconstructor and my hair is fine now. I also always take a garlic pill when I'm using my megatek.

I mix my megatek in a bottle with pure cocconut oil and olive oil and apply it to my scalp every two to three days and my hair has had some serious growth and its only been a month. :yep:

I received MegaTek adn I am sure that it is the right one because it is the same one that is pictured on the link in this thread.
What I don't understand is that people are mixing it with stuff....should I do that? Mine doesn't smell bad. And it's more like a conditioner texture when I was expecting an oil-type.
