How to use a Bandage for a Natural Lace Wig Part

Every time I see a bandage I always snag it up because I swear it’s going to look good under my lace wig, lol. Take a look at the pictures…what do you think? Do you think it will work as an alternative for faux bleaching knots on your lace wig or do you think it will just make you sweat uncontrollably and cause all your hair in the front to fall out due to the NO ventilation? LOL….

Okay let me stop joking…. The bandage that I used in the pictures has a sticky substance on the back of it where all I had to do was press it against the lace wig for it to stick. I think it looks ok but it’s too light for my scalp.

Megatek for Hair Growth!

I can’t believe I have never done a “detailed” blog post on Megatek. What is Megatek and how do you use it on your hair for “hair growth?” Megatek is a hard protein that was originally formulated for horses but is now “safe for human” usage. What does Megatek smell like? To me it smells sort of fruity like coconut and berries or something. The consistency is of a medium thick white paste. It melts right into the hair so you do not need to worry about white residue.

How do you apply Megatek for hair growth? Back in the day when I got a lot of growth from Megatek I was applying it to my scalp and leaving it on until the next wash day. Now I have started applying it on my scalp and the length of the hair.

Warnings: Because this is a protein, too much usage can cause your hair to feel hard and break. You will experience “protein overload.”  How can you prevent protein overload?  Make sure to balance your hair with a moisturizer. I used to use the Scurl (old formula); now in 2013 I am using the Oyin Juices and Berries.

What kind of growth did I get from Megtek?

Well let’s say it like this… I was able to grow my hair six inches in one year and retain ALL of it using Megatek in my regimen.

Where can you purchase Megatek: I always buy mine from Amazon but if you are in the U.S I hear you can find it in almost any pet store.

Are there any other alternatives to using Megatek on the hair? Yes some people like to use it as a deep conditioner. I do not prefer that method because I feel like the megatek is not getting enough time to really penetrate the hair, lol… I know sounds crazy, lol….

Learn about Lace Wigs

I am telling you Lace Wigs get a bad reputation but that is only because amateur's get their hands on them and they apply it without knowing. Hey they gotta start somewhere though. I remember when I applied my 1st lace wig I was so caught up on how natural the hair looks coming out of scalp. I was too happy to notice how thick and moon shaped the hairline was. I was so happy I did not notice how un-natural my part looked. But over time I got it together. You have to learn what works for you. Over time I learned that I learned that it I don't always have to bleach the knots, I could fake bleach them and get away with it.

 If I received a lace wig that hairline was too thick I would cut bangs.

My Growth Progress from Oct 2012 - Feb 2013

Like I said my hair will grow, its just trying to maintain it over here with this harsh Afghanistan water that's full of chlorine. I pray that I stay on the right track. I may need to stop using the shower water and use bottled water. But I just can't picture myself taking 1 hour to wash my hair with bottled water.... smh. But anyway for this journey I documented everything on this app called "aNote." So below the picture you will find products I used.

Comparison Pictures - The Challenge to Thickening My Hair

You know due to the massive shedding of my hair since December of last year my hair thinned ALOT!  There has been several times where I "thought" I had it under control but it was a false alert.  Lately it hasn't been shedding as bad because I have been consistent with using coconut oil and taking my hair vitamins (Nixon) and I recently started in some yummy Vitamin D chewable pills. So is my comparison between Jan and February. The thinness in the 1st picture has a lot to to do with me relaxing BUT I didn't relax bone straight so I know the thickness in the 2nd picture is real.  Anyway I have came to the conclusion that I can GROW my hair but the hard part is "maintaining" it.

Sally Hasen Spray for a Natural Lace Wig Part!

Tired of bleaching your knots on your full lace wig? Believe me! I know the feeling! Are you tired of trying to bleaching your knots only to find out the knots will NOT bleach? There is help girl! Try taking some Sally Hansen spray... I prefer the deep glow and spray it on the underside of your lace wig and let it dry. I recently learned a new tip... The more you spray, the better and more natural your part will look. "The perfect illusion" of a natural part on a lace wig! Don't worry, it will seep through just a little, but its bearable. Alcohol on a cotton ball will help with the spray that got on the hair. Here are some pictures of the unit I recently did...
