Hey! Yea I used mega tech in my hair every day or every other day back then (2009-2010) my hair was really long Mbl. That's when this forum was so active,....memories. It smelled great.

My hair was super moisturised in order to handle all that protein. I had a moisture/ protein balance going on. Good times. I would love to do that now except I heard Mega Tek changed formulas or something like that.

Sort of OT: Every time I see posts like this thread I wish I was on this board back "in the good ol' days." It sounds like things were really poppin back then! Maybe if I had found LCHF in those days I wouldn't have broke off all my MBL relaxed hair with the flat iron.

I don't think things were popping anymore back then. I think it's just that older members don't get into some topics because been there, done that.

How often did you flat ironed ?? for it to break your MBL hair ... It must have been often

hothair · Aug 16, 2017

Yup. They both worked for me. A friend gave me that stinky MTG I used under my weave and would put on a shower cap for a couple hours a day for a few months and that was my longest hair (up to that point evaaa) actually what brought me to LHCF.

I loved Megatek. The smell and all. So they changed the formula? Is that the horse one though?

Jade Feria · Aug 16, 2017

Still have some MTG left! But I made my own (MUCH better smelling) hair growth oil, so I use that. I used the sulphur out of the MTG though.

krissyhair · Aug 16, 2017

I remember MTG from high school. I was sitting next to some Christmas lights in class. The teacher unplugged them because he thought he smelled them overheating.

krissyhair · Aug 16, 2017

The sulfer in the MTG was amazing on my acne though! Just an overnight scalp treatment and the skin on my face (I guess from dripping) would be clear!

It also brought my bangs/fringe from above the line of my glasses to below the line of my glasses in about 14 days. But I think bangs grow quickly anyway. They're so short to absorb a lot of oil, and you can visualize it against your facial features.

I just drove to some remote part of the city a month ago, and passed the horse farm that I went to, to purchase my megatek, every time lolol, it was so far away, but nothing stopped me from making the trek to purchase it.

MTG
I really did smell like bacon, and the backs of some of my favorite sweaters are permanently stained from the MTG....feeling like slick Jerry curl juice

yaya24 · Aug 16, 2017

Megatek worked really well. I wonder why they felt the need to change the formula.

MTG.. I couldn't do it. Ended up pouring it down the toilet.
Can't forget the bacon and poison smell.. lol

Oh girrrrrrl I was trippin' with the heat.
The reason my hair got long when I was in high school is because I used to wear it in a braid or ponytail 90% of the time. I also used to stretch my relaxers unintentionally out of laziness.

When I went away to college I discovered how fly my pressed and curled hair looked so I became addicted to it. I would wash my hair and blow dry on the highest setting. Then flat iron on the highest setting. THEN I would curl it with the curling iron (you guessed it- on the highest setting). I did this once a week. I never used any leave-ins or moisturizers and I wore my hair out 24/7.

In a year I went from MBL to about APL. -_-

EDIT: attaching pics so you can see the before and after.

Tefnut · Aug 25, 2017

Girl, I did the same thing!

I went to a tack and feed store to buy my Megatek. The lady was looking at me like, you know this is for horses, right? :lachen:

I bought it and made some concoction I got on here. It worked but I think the protein may have taken a toll on my hair. I remember my hair being BSL/MBL and thick on one side but thinner on the other. I think it would've helped to deep condition with a very good moisturising conditioner a couple times a week to balance the protein from Megatek.

Megatek and the vaginal hair growth concoctions were all the rage in 2009-2010.

I never tried it because of the fear of headaches. :dazed:

I just hollered... :lol:

MTG was really good I grew hair like crazy. My stylist asked me what was I doing...She said my hair always smelled like bacon.

cocosweet · Sep 2, 2017

I still have my MTG from years ago. I might try it again I can remember how to deal with that smell.

^ I think she is referring to Miconazole Nitrate/Monistat.

@BlackRinse, yes, I was.

I remember ordering MTG way back in the day (2005-2006). I think I got good results but I wasn't taking it for very long and my hair was still breaking off as fast as it was growing (I was still relaxed and applying massive heat to already damaged hair), and the smell prevented me from wanting to take it all of the time. I think I used it for about a month before throwing it out, and my favorite hair scarves carried the bacon-like smell for years.

I remember the Monistat buzz (Miconzale Nitrate) around that time too and vaguely remember trying that out in lieu of MTG. Viviscal and Nioxin were also a big thing back then too. I think I tried one month of Viviscal but since I was a poor college student at the time, I couldn't keep up.

I almost wish that I could try the MTG again on my natural hair but I can't go around smelling like bacon and sulphur all the time.

IDareT'sHair · Sep 3, 2017

Currently have Original M-T and Original MTG in my Stash. I haven't revisited Mega-Tek yet as a Natural. I've actually been holding on to my last Original Bottle of Mega-Tek since it has been reformulated.

But I have been using MTG.

They now sell one that supposedly has a more pleasant scent (for humans). I think it's a dollar or two more.

I have the Original Funk. I think the funky scent tends to dissipates a little after a while.

LushLox · Sep 3, 2017

Boy the things we would do for a little piece of hair growth! :lol:

CharlieEcho · Sep 3, 2017

I remember megatek. Lol and MN.
I used both out of desperation. I had bald patches and lots of broken hair. I'm not sure if those two things alone helped or it was a combination of all the techniques I learned here. Either way, bald patches filled in after 3m of use

Thanks, cause I was around here (in this forum) around that time, and I didn't remember that part of it :rofl:
