Mega-Tek/OCT Challenge November 2008

I washed and put OCT on my scalp and length of hair for the first time, I usually use Mega Tek because I need the fullness. I slept in the OCT and rinsed mid morning, I put a little Ovations cream rinse in as a leave-in and my hair was so soft.

I don't want to be fooled into believing I can do this w/ OCT w/ a dc like I have to do with MT. Has anyone else seen the difference between the harshness of MT and OCT? MT is extremely hard on my hair and I KNOW I need to DC when I rinse i out and if I leave it in over night I dc w/ heat but, with the OCT the dc wasnt necessary....

I would love to hear from anyone. Thanks in advance.
 
I just went ahead and ordered 2 more bottles of MT along with some avocado mist. Thanks to all yall *****s that ordered all the gallon sizes. I still have some left since I first started but I shared with some folks and my stash is getting low. I am in braids right now (avatar) so I really want to get some growth during the winter. HHG Q

Very interesting, and I'm not really surprised. When we were first doing comparisons of MT vs. OCT, the one definite difference was that OCT had ingredients designed to make your hair feel good, and MT didn't. That's why some ladies started adding oils to their MT - to replicate that feeling.

:look: Besides, MT is for horses, you know? They don't have quite as high of a 'soft' requirement as we do. :lachen:
 
After the whole mess with DC Labs charging my account 311 dollars for OCT. I finally got a refund. I had to get all 4 authorization numbers since they charged me 4 times. They had to write a letter to my bank also. I cancelled my OCT order.

The funny part the way you guys are talking about this stuff man I want some.
For now I'm going to stick to my MT,MN,peppermint oil & JBCO mix.
I do think I will be getting some OCT soon. It will be a late Bday present from my baby. I warned him order it over the phone.
 
I am sure you all have had this question before but I was wondering if any of you consider yourself protein sensitive and which product you use? I am very interested in the growth but I have had some breakage in the past (about 18 months ago) that I think was do to too much protein.
 
Add me please - mixed mine with some castor oil and vitamin E oil , but as soon as that batch is gone im just going to be using it straight up
 
I think I'm gonna stop the MT, ladies :(

It's been giving me pretty good thickness, but I'm more interested in length than anything right now. My hair is already pretty thick. I haven't got much length from it at all. I have been a little inconsistent with it here and there, but still . . .IDK. I've been doing it at least 3 times a week.

When I'm done with the bottle I have now, I'm probably giving it up unless I see something major. I still want to try Ovation though. REALLY bad. But that price is just :nono:

I totally hear you. I think I will give up MT too. It is too strong for my hair and I don't need thick, if I get anymore thickness.....:nono:
I would like to sell my MT, but it is mixed with oils, so I don't think anyone wants to buy it.
 
I"m still in! Quick question. I see people are washing it out, but I thought you were supposed to use it as a scalp cream. Do I not leave it on my scalp?

I started with MT and switched to ovation last month, for the same reason. I was getting so MANY beady balls of new growth in between my braids over the weeks it was out of control. So far I am glad I have made the investment in Ovation, if at all possible I recommend giving it a try.:yep:

I'm protein sensitive, and I use MT - mixed with SAA, castor oil, vit. e oil, and honeyquat. I also use about 1/2 teaspoon on my WHOLE head every day - very small amounts.

Oh, booo!! :look: I'm kinda jelly of ya'll women with enough thickness that ya'll can turn your nose up at any more :lachen: I'm trying to get to where you are!!

Some people wash out, some people leave it in - you'll have to see what works best for you. :yep:

how long after thickness is everyone seeing the length with MT?

It varies from head to head. I saw length first, then the length stopped, and my hair got a lot thicker and longer - but the additional thickness concealed the length until I did an official 'check'.

Ya'll REALLY got me wanting some Ovation now. They should have a Christmas Buy One, Get one Half off and a sample size Cream Rinse sale, or something. :look: HintHint DC Labs!! I know ya'll watching! :lachen:

Thats what I have been doing. My hair si so thick now, but the shedding is getting unbearable. The one member who wrote about taking care of hair when its in weaves, and she mentioned to comb of brush the shedded hairs loose first.... that was a brilliant idea and its totally helped me alot.
 
So, I ordered my MT about an hour ago. I'm excited to see what in store for my hair using MT.

I'll keep you all posted.
 
:bouncegreYAY....MY OCT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY. I have one more bottle coming soon. I am so excited:dance7:

Couple of questions....How do you ladies use MT for DCing?
I want to use up my MT asap, so that I can focus on my OCT
Has anyone had any issues with garlic pills? It seems to be causing heart palpitations and some other things too weird to mention here:sekret:

:nono: So I'm not the only one who had this issue. Unfortunately MT was too strong for my hair so I had to stop using it. My hair is already thick and when I used MT my hair ended up being dry no matter what I used to moisturize. My hair started breaking and shedding. I thought about using OCT to see if it would work better for me. :scratchch
 
DSD, can you add me please. I started using MT again last week. I have layers also so I'm really using the hair in the back to judge growth. Right now when my hair is wet it reaches the bottom of my neck. I swear the last time I washed I thought I felt my hair trying to tickle my back, maybe my mind is playing tricks on me...lol.
