The ingredient "placental protein" is the hormone.  These hormones are easily absorbed through the skin (think of the "patch" birth control).  Companies use wording on their products that will appeal to consumers and convince them to buy their products.  I am sure there is some element of truth to "plant based" but to some people who read this they will assume the product is earthy or healthy. 

Also, this is just advice on my part.  I realize that it is ultimately your decision whether or not to switch from this particular product to another.  I hope I was not too forward.

Nope.  Forward is good.  I appreciate your help.  I usually consider all avenues and then rule my final decision(s).

I wonder though if the placentia is harmful though because it's not applied to my skin, just my hair?  I only have a little left, but from the info that I've learned, I will not be purchasing anymore.

Sorry for the delay in my response- i have a crazy work schedule. Ok first question-

Which M-T-G oil do i use?- i use the shapley's original m-t-g- which is the third bottle that you showed.

Does the glycerin/water mix promote build-up? No

i only use a little glycerin- because it is thick like syrup and a lot of water. You use too much glycerin and you can't spray it on.

Hope this helps- any more questions- please let me know.

Hi Carameldiva,

That's okay, I understand work schedules.

I use the same MTG (The original).  Does this seem to dry your hair?  It has an oily feel, but I'm not sure if this one of the factors....I'd hate to think so.

Anyway, I'm leaving now.  I'm doing a deep conditioning on my hair.

At first when i was using the m-t-g , it did not seem drying but lately it has. what i do now is use it and then spray my hair with my glycerin/water mix- re-massage it and then apply my baggie. Enjoy your deep conditioning.

Hi,

I went overboard with my conditioning....stayed under the heat cap for about 2-1/2 hours.  I actually did a combo of a hot oil and conditioning treatment, followed by the mix that cmesweet recommended in the shower (used olive oil in my conditioner).  I had much more shrinkage initially, but my hair was softer and easier to comb.

Hey cmesweet, Thanks for the advice.

Did you say you go to bed with WET hair??? I don't think that can be
good for it....but I understand because of the Length you have! Also,
when you are IN the shower, take a wide tooth comb and comb your
hair out VERY GENTLY while your conditioner is in, before you rinse
it. You probably already do this......You could also do a clarifying
shampoo Before you use a Deep Conditioning treatment.....
Life's a Journey..............NOT a Destination!
