hmmm... i went to the amazon.com website to order Megatek..
And now they have pics of a bald headed white guy, "before and after" using it..
The reviews are a mix of of Megatek being used on horses, dogs and people. (140 + ratings)...
I use Megatek as a co-wash mix every 2 weeks. i use 1/2 megatek and 1/2 cheap moisturizng conditioner.
It seems to work. The megatek provides the protein i need and the moisturizer keeps the hair soft..

I'm sure it's the protein content of this that works for me.
I'm learning that my hair LOVES protein and water.

there is only one area that was really damaged by all of the traction alopecia.
Funny... the rest of my hair thrived whereas that area, and a place on my right temple refused to grow.
I took it down from it the protective styling.. the rest of my hair has grown very well. These two "bald spots" are now at least 3" long. I'll let them follow..

I'm stuck!!!  To sew-in or not to sew-in is the question??? I need to keep my hands, and heat out of my hair, and the buns are getting boring, and I also need to protect my ends. Getting a sew-in does all of that. And the sew-in makes it easier for me to workout.
But, with a sew-in I can't wash, or moisturize my hair as well or as often, and I also can't massage my scalp.
Oh lawdy what am I going to do

i was afraid of the same thing when i first started this. some folks' hair thrives from moisturizing alone. i think it's the majority of fine haired ladies that like protein if i'm not mistaken.

I like the lower dosage pills better than the ones with super high levels of biotin. Plus the '"weaker" ones doesn't contain yeast, sugar, lactose, gluten. I am struggling to use up the higher dosage pills.
