Back on Mega Tek again for 2010

I have been using Mega Tek on and off for the past few months, but I was able to get myself a large bottle, so I decided to add a little garlic paste into my mixture instead of taking garlic supplements, and I have experience no shredding at all, because the garlic has such a strong odour, I have added mint. lavender, eucalptus and clove oil. I do take supplements for my overall health, such as B vitamins, Biotin, Evening primrose oil, vitamin E, Royal Jelly and Flaxseed oil and Vitamin C. MSM I tend to use in my hair rinses and putting in my hair products.

November Hair and Mega Tek

I started to use Mega Tek again, to the Mega tek I have added garlic paste, castor oil, extra virgin olive oil, Ojon restorative leave-in treatment, Ojon restorative treatment, Ojon hydrating conditioner, 1000 mg Evening Primrose oil, 400 iu Vitamin E, to mask the smell, I have added essential oils, lavender and eucalyptus oil and the mixture was added to a bottle with a sprout, so that I could apply to my scalp twice daily.

I condition wash daily, also I do not take any garlic supplements, but I add garlic to my food. I have been eating more fish. I shall update my results with Mega Tek next month.

October Hair

I have not been using Mega Tek, since June, not because it is not a brilliant product. It is the best, but I have been very busy, especially with my house, my hair is in a very simple style, my stable, which is chinese bumps (inside bunti knots), daily conditioning washes.

I massage my scalp with aloe vera gel, castor oil and Ojon's intensive repair reparation intensive treatment and Ojon's restorative leave in treatment, which keeps it soft. I have been also taking B supplements, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Evening Primrose and Cod liver oil. Also I have been eatinag a lot of eggs, nuts, and dried fruit, drinking plenty of water, particularly at this time of year, where your skin can look very dull and sluggish.

I plan to start back on my Mega Tek/Ovation products, do henna, I haven't done, since May. I found the Ojon products fairly expensive but the smell is divine and it is very long lasting, particularly for my hair or afro textured hair, I think it is an excellent product.

I shall be definitely getting some more, also getting new products such Miss Jessies, Hair Rules, Philip Kingsley, Ojon and Anita Grants products, which I have read some excellent reviews.

Ten days after using Henna

It has been ten days since my henna treatment and I trimmed my hair before I did my henna treatment, my hair seems more glossy, because I added the temporary colour to the henna, my highlights don't have that brassy look. I will probably do another henna treatment and see how my hair is.

My henna results before and after

I was very pleased with the results of the henna, particularly mixing it this way, it washed out easily. After the deep conditioner, my hair was very soft and very easy to comb. Some people have experienced loosening of the curl patter, hence shrinkage is reduced, but that may come after many more application of henna. Also I will be trying the coconut cream natural relaxer, which is supposed to loosen the curl patern, I will probably do that one towards the end of the month.

My hair is highlighted and my parts of my grey hair have a rich reddish colour, plus I did add the shaders and toners hot cinammon. The dark parts of my hair is also has a rich vibrant colour.

Very pleased with my results.

Using Henna

I have tried henna in the past and I used it, because yes I am vain and I want big thick long hair, so thanks to Curly Nikki. She is available on http://curlynikki.com/. I used her method.
The henna, I got from my local Asian supermarket in Shepherd's bush Market. So with one packet of henna, I mixed warm nettle tea, 2 tablespoons of honey, one packet of toners and shaders, hot cinammon, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. The henna was mixed until it was in a smooth paste, then I covered the henna and placed in the airing cupboard over night.

I conditioned washed my hair, then applied the henna for four and a half hours, washed and rinsed thoroughly with conditioner, then deep conditioned for 30-60 minutes, then rinsed with cider vinegar rinse.

Very pleased with how my hair came out. Curly Nikki, blog is very informative and she has lovely hair.

Products which I use

These products are my stables and the nice thing about them, is that I can get them locally, from where I live in Hammersmith, West London. The West Indian castor oil, Dabur Amla oil and Vatika enriched coconut oil, are available from either Shepherds Bush Market, where there are Asian shops. Glycerine, rosewater is available from any local supermarket in the cake making section, also available in most supermaket type shops as well as extra virgin olive oil. Aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice is available in any health shop.

I make up a daily rinse, with aloe vera juice, rosewater, glycerine and olive oil. I add a litte conditioner to an empty Evain or 50 ml water bottle, add a some aloe vera juice, rosewater, glycerine and a little bicarbonate of soda (if you live in a hard water area) shake thoroughly and then add water to fill the bottle completely shake again and pour over hair and wrap a towel around the head to soak up extra moisture, leave on for 15-20 minutes, then add remove towel and put little moisturiser on the roots and over a little over the hair.

To make a hair spray,put in a spray bottle, available for any beauty store or Sallys. To add the bottle, add the same ingredients, plus lavender essential oil as a preservative and spray on the hair, whenever the hair feels dry.

The castor oil, aloe vera juice, glycerine, rosewater, amla oil and enriched Vatika oil, I make into a hair moisturiser, in a small container, I add a little powdered MSM, and pour a little rosewater, and mix throughly. MSM standing for methylsulphonylmethane, also you can crush some biotin tablets, I add some vitamin E and Evening primrose, glycerine and rosewater. I put a large amount of castor oil, and aloe vera gel, mix throughly and now it can be applied to damp hair from root to ends and/or the roots daily.

The other Indian herbal powders such as Brahmi, amla, shikakai, kalpitone, I make up into a deep conditioner. I add 1-2 teaspoons of each, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, castor oil, aloe vera juice or gel, one beaten egg, coconut oil and tablespoon of conditioner. Mix into a smooth paste and I apply to my hair, sectioning it and paying special attention to my ends, then I cover with a plastic bag for 30 minutes to one hours. Then I wash it off using a conditioner, then style my hair with moisturiser.

The Indian herbals, such as Brahmi, amla, shikakai, kalpitone are available to larger Asian supermarkets, in areas such as West Ealing and Southall, in London, UK. Also you can order a really wide range on line, which is really good, because you can get Brahmi oil and many other hair oils.
