Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[Jetblackhair]

Sorry for all the questions and thank you for helping me out with the info...what's the rejuvenator (Is that an OCT product) ...I see there are a few people in the thread that are using both the OCT and the Mega-Tek which is surprising.
Thank you!!!

Questions...no problem. The Rejuvenator is the same as OCT but it's an older version. I think some people are using both because the OCT is pricey so alternating between OCT & Mega-Tek will give you more usage.

Ok, here are the ingredients Justkiya posted. As for me, I also wanted to try the OCT pack. I'm still going to use Mega-Tek. I don't think you can go wrong using it, just be consistent.

Ovation:
Quote:
Deionized Water, Stearalkonium Chloride, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, DM DM Hydantoin, Methlparaben, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Frangrance
Rejuvenator:
Quote:
Deionized Water, Stearalkonium Chloride, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydrolized Keratin, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, DM DM Hydantoin, Methlparaben, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Frangrance.

Mega-Tek Rebuilder:
Quote:
Deionized water, hydrolyzed keratin protein (HU), stearalkonium chloride, glyceryl stearate, peg 100 stearate (DI), marine protein (DI), peg 40 (no castor oil), panthenol, dimethicone copolyol (the one cone), magnesium citrate (DI), allantoin (DI), amino acids (DI), methylparaben, mucopolysaccharides (DI), polyparaben, imidazolidinyl urea (DI), fragrance
DI = Different ingredient
HU = Higher up on the list

The Ovation and the Rejuvenator are identical, as far as the ingredients and the order they are in.

The Rebuilder, though, has MORE hydrolyzed keratin protein, and it has marine protein and amino acids, which neither of the others have, along with a few other 'different' ingredients.

I dunno - I think the rebuilder might be the best bet....

Thanks so much for posting that for me... I see I should have read up a little more before I placed my order... no harm, I'll just figure it out as I go. This was a big help!

I just did a google and another popular board is all up in this thread and they started their own challenge...it's so funny when one girl discovered MT is for horses..she said "I was confused, which part of the hair is the hoof"

ETA: They are also borrowing content!! LOL

 

[tnorenberg]

Do tell, why did you choose to go with the OCT vs. the Mega-Tek ?? Have you used both?

Well I already had the Megatek from when Sareca first introduced us to it, but never really got on a program. I remember it making my hair really strong and thicker but not a lot in the growth department. So I figured I would at least get the same plus the growth with the OCT.

Have you started the challenge yet? Strong and thicker certainly isn't bad... how long did you use the MT?

I used the MT off an on for about a month at a time max. I just rotated it in with my regular staples when I felt my hair needed a boost. I was trying to start w/ the MT but he washes every day so there's not that much left. I may just wait on the OCT now.

 

[MissRissa]

Seriously, at this point, this thread needs to be a sticky.

Who is adding stuff to their mega-tek/oct. I think Kiya is. I was wondering about anybody else. If so are you getting growth? I added a couple drops of evoo and saa to what I apply on dry scalp daily. I'm hoping its not gonna mess with the results.

Solie1185 posted in the other thread OCT/MT thread her mix on page 17....it seems to be working for her, she said she doesn't have the build up or the dryness.

[cieramichele]

atl, i think we have the better product according to her comparison.

 

[LondonDiva]

I'm getting good growth from the MT.

Now the ingredients in the Mega Tek are better than the OCT after JustKiya's ingredient breakdown and told us what each ingredient does.

However I'm curious about the OCT as 'they' state there are double the aminos in OCT which would be the obvious kicker out of the two in terms of faster growth with the product.

Just out of curiosity, what is your growth rate with MT?

Hi ladies.

I have a question. There was mention that there was a discount code for OCT before checking out on their site.
However, I have gone all the way through (to confirming my order...credit card and shipping info already input) and I do not see anywhere to enter a code.

Could someone help me? I did not complete the order yet because I would like to enter the code first. I am just purchasing the OCT. Does the discount apply to the entire system?

Thanks so much in advance.

 

[KPH]

there is a section that asks where did you hear about OCT and there is a drop down menu and LHCF is listed on there.

 

[Shaley]

I think that's the problem. Sareca's growth went through the roof when she started using it everyday, rather than 1ce a week.

I'm sure she'll come back and set you straight.

Obviously I need to up my usage... *Going to apply to scalp/hair now*

 

[Prettypsych]

From your lips to God's ears. Honesty, I'm so happy with this I can't even imagine more. That 1/2 inch/month thing sucks! I'm so glad I took a chance with this product. I probably would have gotten to 1inch/month sooner if I'd started out using it daily. For the first month I only used it once/week. *snaps forehead* Now I use it every single day, except for the occasionally break because of the itching.


Thanks ladies! The growth is awesome, but the itches are driving me crazy. My head itches 24 hours/day. It's a bit extreme. Anybody else been using it daily for over 30 days? Is your head itchin' like crazy?

I def. think that daily use results in more growth. I got a 1/2 inch in less than 10 days. There may be a terminal point. If not, it is likely one may get more than an inch in one month.

As far as the itchies... I got them for the first few days, but then they went away. I get them ocassionally, but it's not as terrible as several of you have described (knock on wood). The only thing I may be doing differently is that I use folligen on my scalp in the morning and OCT in the evening. Perhaps the Folligen is counteracting it somehow...

GOT IT!

Thank you SOOO much!

 

[sareca]

Sareca, how are you using it daily? On dry hair or are you washing daily and applying it to wet hair?

I only co-wash 3X/week. Sometimes I use it a dry scalp (I rarely put it on my actually hair...at least not intentionally). Most of the time I spray my scalp with a little water then apply it. I don't think it works any better wet, but it is make it easier to distribute so you use less of it.

 

[sareca]

I hope mine is working - I've been using for about a month now and have absolutely NO itchies erplexed
Maybe because I only use twice a week and not every day??

Wonderwoman is absolutely right! I wish I hadn't wasted all that time (and product). Use it daily! Rinse it if you can, but even if you only wash once every 2 weeks I'd still say apply it daily. I didn't see anything when I was using it once/week. I think the instructions should say...

For maximum results use daily for 3-5 minutes AND overnight once/wk. I think that's what they mean. They way they have it written it looks like once/week overnight alone will get you max growth, but it doesn't.

 

[JFemme]

Oh, lawd...

I have been bitten by the OCT bug....

I'm ordering as soon as I get my Sunday errands finished...

thanks to everyone, for all the glowing details, breakdowns and testimonials...

I wanna sport a BAA this summer....

Just out of curiosity, what is your growth rate with MT?

I have no idea as of yet, not a full month of using, plus I'm trying hard not to watch my new growth. I apply MT every day like you would a hair oil/grease

Here is a pic 9 days post relaxer

LD, how often do you wash or cowash?

 

[LondonDiva]

I'm pretty much going back to basics. I wash and deep condition once a week. I apply everyday and have no buildup issues.

Thanks for the reply- that is helpful.

 

[yodie]

Just washed and applied OVT throughout my hair.

This stuff feels so good that I decided not to rinse out. I'm wearing a half wig, so I just left the OVT in my hair and twisted it.

This is only day 4 for me, but this stuff makes my hair feel so soft. It could just be me, but my nape feels soooo moisturized and bushier.

Won't check for actual growth until next month. I wanna be surprised.

I ordered mine yesterday...I believe I will just leave it in as well. I don't know if I will be doing wng's this summer or not.

I'm kinda scared of MT erplexed.

No, it doesn't smell bad at all and if it did believe me, everyone in this thread would be talking about it. Too me it smells like a hint of coconut.

Ok, that right there is too funny. I was laughing so hard my dh told me to keep it down (he's trying to watch a basketball game).
