Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[tt8]

Ok, so I was trying to keep my peace since I started this challenge but I am not experiencing any itchies. I am a little nervous. Is it growing, what is it doing? I'm not getting the same results that you guys have gotten this far. No thickness, growth, or darker tresses... I know, I know. I'm trying to be patient but like gymfreak said, Dang!

I'm debating buying some mega-tek for thickness...

Hey Darlin'

Your hair is definately growing And don't worry if you don't feel the itchies or scalp stimulations. I don't always feel them but I can still see and feel the difference in both thickness and length.

So...don't give up. Also, I've even skipped a few days (not on purpose - I've had some late schedules), and yet I still see progress. I was even able to cut my hair (about 1/2") and it's back already.

Again...don't give up. We have until June to post our results. And the site does say that it takes 60 - 90 days. And that's the normal progress rate for just about anything we introduce into our hair or our systems. The body has to re-allign to the new product and also eliminate what's it's been used to.

It's a revolving process, out with the old, in with the new. New 'cell's are being regenerated, while the old cells are being expelled to make room for the new.

Also, to speed up the process, stop worrying, drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and veggies, as these foods help with the elimination and regeneration process. Eat healthy fibers and proteins and eliminate (reduce) sugar intake.

Sugar eats 'hair'. In other words, sugar attaches itsself and depletes the nutrients in our bodies that feed our hair as well as other organs and cells in our bodies. It's like 'pac man', it goes around in our bodies eating precious nutrients that feeds health into our blood and cells. Feed your blood with healthy foods, nutrients, and safer sugars which will in turn feed your hair with the strength and health it needs to grow and stay strong.

One of the best foods that I've found to be most helpful are Sea Vegetables. I have to give credit to Isis (our precious member) for this.

Sea Vegetables are excellent for feeding hair and cell growth. (Spirilina, Kelp, Chlorella). I also take Wheat Grass, Barley and each of these come in capsules, tablets and even powdered form to mix in smoothies, or juices.

Hmmmm, I know I've shared a lot here, but I learned this the hard way. My hair was damaged beyond repair due to chemicals and careless use of heat. I wanted super straight hair and I killed it with relaxers and straightening combs. I did not appreciate the gift of my natural curls and I almost lost it all...almost going bald.

Thank God and this forum, I learned to accept my natural hair and to love it.

I had to start all over and nurse my hair back to growth. I learned that my hair growth is inside out. I had to take in what feeds our hair internally as well as the care for it outside. After many trials and errors, and many, many hair care products, I'm here and am blessed to be able to use Ovation. It's almost like a reward for accepting my hair as it is...natural.

Again, don't give up pretty lady... Get ready for the new you, all over.

Sorry for the long post...I hope it blesses someone.

[CocoGlow]

Same thing happened to me..the first day I used it my head was itching but now it comes and goes but is not that noticeable at ALL...I hope it's still working ..... it's only been a week so I still have hope

Ok I spoke too fast..I DO have the itchies again!!! It's more like a tingling sensation..it's like I can FEEL my little strands sprout out of my scalp (Am I crazy?!!)

Oh and for those using Mega-Tek Rebuilder and worried about the buildup (the product tends to leave behind little white peices in the hair near the root) in addition to the slight crispiness it may cause, I've tried something for the past 2 days that seems to be working great

I got my applicator bottle and filled it halfway w/ Aloe Vera Gel (Lily of the Desert 100%) and filled the rest of the bottle w/ Mega-Tek..shook it up to make sure it was fully mixed and applied it to my scalp....not only is here no buildup at ALL but my hair is no longer slightly crispy...also, I've read that Aloe Vera gel is great for moisturizing, soothing and encouraging growth so it can only help

I was worried at first about diluting the product too much but I am still getting the itchies just as much as I was in the very beginning when using the Mega-Tek alone

Hope this helps

 

[ms*x]

oh man! i'm late on this...i'll have to read the thread all the way through.
i did check the sites fromthe first post and went to the mega-tek site and saw these:

too funny!

it said when the horse gets bored in the stalls
you hang these and they play with the balls!

 

[tt8]

Be glad you ain't itching girl! My scalp was so stimulated that it started to hurt

Ohhh Ok, thanks for that. I was wondering if it wasn't itching was it working. I do have sore spot that is about 1/2 an inch long on my right crown. I discovered it while massaging yesterday. (I secretly want my whole head tender , cause for me its a sign of growth)

 

[tt8]

Awwe Shimmie thank you so much for constantly being sweet and encouraging. (I still believe we have some the nicest people on this forum in our challenge). I think I got a little thrown off cause I keep my hair in cornrows mostly and I was wondering should I have seen something by now. But you are so right, they and Sareca said wait for 60-90 days. Patience was never my strongest card. I have started taking chlorophyll is that a sea green? I thought I remembered reading that it was. It is time for a new me. Next month I am gonna start Ekomba and Den1's vitamins so by the time this Ovation pushes out my scalp they will carry me over the hump and I can start a silly post how I accidentally closed my hair in my car door

I am loving this challenge so much! My hair is in a much better state than before I started!! However, as a public service I must shout out to all my sisters to be very careful of the way you are paying for your merchandise online. Recently, I noticed some charges on my account that were not authorized by me. If it weren't for me being an obsessive-compulsive ( I visit my banking on a daily basis) personality, honed by a big city upbringing, it might have gone unnoticed. It was in several small increments...chump change...but my damn chump change!!
From now on I will only use Paypal. It is secure and only they have access to your funds!! If the merchant doesn't use it...no deal!!
Oh, I did get refunded but only because I jumped on the situation like a rabid rottie! :hardslap:You only have a certain amount of time to claim fraudulent activity.
Be careful out there, girlies!!

[tenjoy]

Someone please explain how thickness and darkness is possible on old hair? It must be depositing something on your hair to make it dark/thicker. Im thinking it will wash away if you discontinue usage.

I'm sure I missed something, I read the website and am interested, can someone explain more to me? Going back to read more

Yeah, I asked this question last night...(I was in need of a distraction) and they said it fills in the 'holes' of the existing hair.

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=216325

Hope this is correct??

Hey, where's Sareca or JustKiya at a time like this??erplexed

 

[RZILYNT]

I am reporting 1 inch of growth within my 30 days starting 2/27 .
I am reporting thickness since you can barely see my breakage that was underneath the length of my hair.
No pics yet until relaxer time. I hope I can tell a difference.


........now I am rambling....

I must admit that I was all for growing WL hair. Just because it seems that I could do it once I got over the hump. I would like to see if it will grow to Hip. However, I don't feel most attractive with long hair. In fact I feel kinda awkward when I wear it out. ( try to figure that one out??)
I guess on my next major hair escapade I may sport a "short do".
I will give my hair hobby a few more years so that I will have some great memories and knowledge to pass along to others close to me.

...ok...I am done.....getting back to work

Good Afternoon Ladies,

I want to officially join the challenge!!!!! I ordered the mega-tek and can I just say:! This stuff is wonderful. Not only did it make my hair soft, but I noticed IMMEDIATE THICKNESS!!!!!

My hair is kind of thin (I messed it up by relaxing to often before), so I stretched my touch-up from Nov. until last night. I used ORS Normal, and then I deep conditioned with Elasta DPR-11. After I rinsed, I sprayed my hair with the Avocado Mist and then mixed the Mega-Tek with coconut oil in an applicator bottle and put it on my scalp, then massaged it in. Then I put some directly on my hair. I let it airdry, then I blew it out. MY HAIR IS SO SOFT AND THICK!!!!!!! EVen when I was wrapping it last night, you could feel the difference! It is definitely a keeper! About to order more, but the PJ in me wants to try ovation too! DH just shakes his head!

I wish I could help but I'm puzzled, myself!!! The fact that the Mega-Tek and the Ovation seem to have different ingredients, but are demonstrating the same results???? It's - fabulous, is what it is, and - I don't know hoooowwww it works.....

 

[Prettypsych]

RZ~ did you use OCT or MegaTek. If OCT, did you wet/dampen your hair each time you put it on?

 

[GETHEALTHY]

I AM SOOOOO IN!!! I placed my order last week and am looking for it to arrive any day now!! :bouncegre i just had tree braids in and i plan to use the OCT on my scalp daily. I'm super excited about what's to come. i'm going to try and transition with out bc'ing.

Did you notice the unauthorized charges with the Mega-Tek site or Ovation?

 

[RZILYNT]

RZ~ did you use OCT or MegaTek. If OCT, did you wet/dampen your hair each time you put it on?

I have them both and alternate.
Sometimes I put it on a dry scalp, sometimes I dampen my scalp with the avocado mist (eqyss) It depends on if I do it in the morning or if I do it before bed.

I think as long as you get it on the scalp you will get results.

If I put it on the length as a leave in, then I seal with one of my other products. Vatika oil mango butter....etc...

Count me in! My OCT arrived last week and I started using it on Saturday after getting my cornroll braids. I'm trying to achieve at least 2-3 inches by the end of June and continued growth after that. I've decided to keep cornroll braids in my hair for about a year to accelerate my hair growth. I am wetting my hair and putting the OCT on my scalp every PM and then massaging my scalp with an electric massager for about 5 minutes. I also ordered the Mega/Tek Cell Rebuilder and will be using this every other week to condition my braids with heat. I hope this stuff works like they say it does!

Hey Girls!!
We are about to enter our second month of the challenge. So far we have over 50! pledges in our challenge. I am so excited about the progress that some of you have reported already. Keep up the good work! Its a testimony that even the girls who are just beginning or came after the start can definitely catch up and show growth in less than the recommended 45-60 days. You guys are doing an excellent job. Try to up your game and take notes from the fellow success stories so we can all be greatful and satisfied by our results at the end of the challenge and hopefully make a life change:crossfingers:.

Ovación,
