Checking in! Just cowashed this morning, and my hair is back to growing! I'm also feeling more thickness in the front. Love my old formula so much!! I think if I continue using it as part of a mix, I can stretch it out for most of this year. Hopefully by then I'll be able to buy another bottle of the old formula....hopefully...

Thanks for sharng. I pretty much have everything you listed apart from hemp seed oil. What is MN? And what are your mixing proportions?

My roots are growing in so strong. I don't think I'll ever stop making this stuff. 
The curls are clumping together instead of growing in frizzy. I like these new locks of hair.

Are you experiencing the same level of growth with your formula (more/less) compared to Megatek? Kudos on creating your own formula

Thank you! I never tried the original because as soon as I found out about it, they were changing the formula and I heard bad things about it.

How often are you guys using megatek? Is it bad if I'm spraying it in everyday? Should I cut down to every week to avoid protein overload? I have in Senegalese twists.

I DC overnight with it 1x a week. If it works for your hair, go for it. Just know that you need to keep the moisture levels equal to the protein levels.

I've been taking 1000mg garlic supplements daily and this has not decreased my shedding when i use MT, i do get good growth however my hair seems less dense or thinner if you please when i do a cornrow take down.
I'm thinking of getting the garlic shampoo but i don't know how i would incorporate this into my regimen. Should i use it as my go to shampoo on wash days and follow up with my Trader Joe's conditioner.
How often can i use it?
what likely results can i expect?- For those who use garlic shampoo
Is anyone else experiencing alot of shedding and how do you combat it?
Will post a picture update later.....Updates are however in my fotki.

I bought garlic pills yest and I squeezed the gel into my megatek spray. Hope this will keep shedding to a minimum. I also decided to spray 3x a week, instead of everyday like I was doing previously.

I found the only thing that slowed the shedding down in the beginning was Black Tea Rinses. I think the garlic needs to really build up in your system to cut the shedding.
Right now, I think when I started using Wen, and stopped using shampoo, my shedding cut down by a lot too....my hair is definitely feeling denser.

It's doing good! I'm working on changing it, to make it a cleanser, too, though. Gonna take out some water and add a no poo cleansing ingredient. I use it as a pre-poo DC for an hour, no overnight, which I wouldn't do with a cleanser.
Longer first. Thicker as in thicker hairs, yes. Thicker as in more hairs, no.
I want to change it because after I pre-poo with it, shampoo and condition with AOGBP, it doesn't feel as silky AND strong and once I get out of the shower, I hate to get wet again. After-poo DCing is NOT my thing.

I don't get it then I thought oct was better? I have never tried OCT. I do know that MT was great for breakage.

Oct was supposed to be the "Human" version of MT...meaning more expensive. The only difference was reduced shedding in the OCT, but by all accounts the old formula MT gave better growth, and was a lot cheaper.
Nothing but marketing.

Yup...same company, and just about the same product...sold in different bottles, and one for way more than the other.

Just deep conditioned with Megatek and Wheat Germ oil for an hour with heat. My hair feels like SILK. Who knew that 20 minutes was NOT enough?
Strange enough, I got the tip from Ovatation (OCT). They recommend using their conditioner on the hair for 1-2 hours OR overnight.
