Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[yodie]

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 notice that it does leave a slight build up. I'm not worried about that. Just want to maximize all of the benefits.

Think I've found my staple product(s) for the rest of the year!!

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....

HEY JFemme!:blowkiss:
How's it going Chica? Welcome to the club. I got mad growth the first round. I can't wait to see how my hair looks in a year! I use the Maximizing System daily. It's worth every penny.

 

[Moonxyz]

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.

really? good .
so i'll definately be ordering it tomorrow then

Very interesting challenge....I am interested in the OCT.

Does anyone know where I can find the list of ingredients for the OCT products?

I looked on the site, but there was no listing.

Not sure which page, but the ingredients are listed somewhere in this thread.

Thanks so much! That really did help....Looks like it contains protein. My hair hates to much protein.

 

[Demi27]

Yeah so err uhhh....

I broke down and bought the OCT today after reading all of the posts.
I'm not going to say that I'm joining the challenge because I keep changing my mind on growth aids.

But this will be THE LAST growth aid I buy.





I think.

 

[Forever in Bloom]

I finally figured out what the scent of this reminds me of: Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor. Mmmm... tropical and coconutty

 

[jrae]

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.

Thanks. You anticipating my next question about applying it on the length of the hair. Okay, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. Scalp every night... I was second-guessing myself that it might be too much protein, but since its not applied to my hair every day, it should be okay. I use Lacio-Lacio every day so I shouldn't have to deal with dryness. Just rambling...

 

[Lebiya]

Are you guys getting this crazy growth from using the OCT on the hair (length) and MT on the scalp? …or just from one or the other?

I NEED this NOW!!!

I’m looking for thickness EEEspecially…sooo if this is ‘all that’ like ya’ll say – this with henna will do the trick for me in terms of thickness!!!

 

[MonaLisa]

Agreed. I think I mentioned this to Vixxen some years ago. If you look at the ingredients on the back of MegaTek and on the back of the original Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor, you will see some similarity, which I guess, accounts for the similarity in smell.

LondonDiva,Thats Some Good Growth.Keep It Up. HAPPY HAIR GROWING!

 

[tnorenberg]

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

Wow, now I'm really upset that my DH stole my MT for himself. That's amazing growth for 9 days. It's easier to gauge the amount of growth after a fresh relaxer. HHG

 

[luckiestdestiny]

This is the last growth aid I'm buying. I bought some vitamins and they did nothing. My hair grows pretty fast, and has been super long before, but I want to get it back as soon as I can. I want it to move past bra strap d&$@ it!!! No more stupid set backs like my thyroid disease!!!!! Sorry, I had to get that outta my chest. So what they hey, I guess I'll give it a try! I hope I'm not loopy for falling for snake oil. With all the proof from this site, I don't believe it's snake oil, but I really do hope it works for me. We'll see...

Girl, are you sure you didn't just get underprocessed.

I relaxed 2 weeks ago, but my roots probably look like this, because I underprocessed myself.

Just checking so I can be sure this thing works, you understand. I just ordered it from tailgator.

No I've been relaxing my own hair for 13 years. My hair was not underprocessed and if it was I wouldn't have posted a picture. I noticed growth 3 days after using it like I did with Boundless Tresses.

Justkiya also got quick results with it also (she's natural), other's have claimed to get around 1/4 to 1/2 an inch in 10 days.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

interesting.... I'm thinking about buying Megatek.

i'll start with the 8oz bottle mixed with castor oil (cause my hair hates protein) 3x a week (before dc ing).

I hope this doesn't smell bad .....

Okay, I'm glad I'm not in this by myself!! I have been shedding quite a bit...I couldn't get a handle on it...last week I decided to forego my M-T usage and I had no, NO, no, nada, not any shedding last week...a few meager strands....Okay, this is from a chic, that had a good bit of hair releasing on its own, without combing, on a daily basis....So, I will mix my M-T with castor oil, because I think the protein is drying my hair out.

I hope there is a noticeable difference. I do not want to quit my M-T program...but then, I don't want long, thin hair, either...yuck!nono:

I felt the same way; after SURGE, and other growth aides and hundreds of $$$ later, my hair was still breaking and acting a fool. My hairdresser kept saying, "what are you doing to your hair?" That's how bad it had gotten.
Then came OVATION to my rescue! :superman: If it works for me, I think it will work for you and anyone else unless they are not using it at all!

 

[JustKiya]

First, I jsut have to say I'm SOOOOO Excited to see so many other folks joining in - welcome one and all!!!!

Is this the product that is equivalent to the Ovation Cell Therapy.

Is this product drying? I have natural hair, I read somewhere that it may be drying..

TIA...

I don't find it drying at all - and I see that someone else has already pointed you in the direction of the ingredients list.

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??

I find the less I use it, the fewer itchies I have. After I've used it for a couple of days in a row, I'll get itchies..... so only using it twice a week could definitely be why you aren't feeling the itch.

So are ladies getting growth from EQyss Mega-Tek Coat Rebuilder? (Please say yes). I'm looking to replace my MTG with something that if I sweat in an excercize class I'm not embarrassed by the smell coming from my head.

I'm getting WONDERFUL growth from the Mega-Tek - I'm really excited by what my hair is up to! And the breakage!!! Oh my gods, I'll say it AGAIN - even if my hair didn't grow ANY faster, the way this stuff has practially HALTED my breakage means it's going to be a staple fo'LIFE!
And it smells good. I think it smells very good, actually.

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.

I'm adding castor oil, Vitamin E oil, and SAA to my Mega-Tek - the castor oil & Vitamin E oil because those are the only two things in the Ovation Cell Therapy that aren't in the Mega-Tek, and the SAA because I'm addicted to the stuff.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not in this by myself!! I have been shedding quite a bit...I couldn't get a handle on it...last week I decided to forego my M-T usage and I had no, NO, no, nada, not any shedding last week...a few meager strands....Okay, this is from a chic, that had a good bit of hair releasing on its own, without combing, on a daily basis....So, I will mix my M-T with castor oil, because I think the protein is drying my hair out.

I found that I shed A LOT more the first week or two - and I thought (and still think) that it's a sign of the Mega-Tek working. If you think about it, if you have faster growth, your follicles are going to be pushing out all of the hairs that were CLOSE to shedding, so that those brand new hairs can pop on out. I've found that the shedding slows, and your hair gets thicker, and then longer. So - don't let a little shedding scare you - it should slow down in a bit.

:wow: For all the new faces!!!! Can't WAIT to see everyones results!

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Justkiya,

You are sooo supportive! I think the world of you! Where did you get SAA? Silk Amino Acids, right? I'd like to try it your way....

 

[growinglong777]

Okay, I just had a relaxer last on Thursday, 4/17, so now I should really be able to measure my growth and how long it takes for the OCT to kick in. I will update as soon as new growth starts popping out.

The entire statement above it true, the same thing happens if you use Rogaine...it restarts your hair growth cycle so the hairs close to end of life shed and the new hairs come in....there is a ton of information about this on the internet if you google "dread shed". It's actually a great sign because it means your hair follicles are active and ready to start a new life cycle for the hair. This is true for shedding of whole strands only only not for breakage.

Justkiya,

I'd like to know this as well...

 

[kellylinn77]

Okay ladies I'm in. I just ordered the OCT should be here this week. I'm so excited. Here's my start picture, I had to get a much needed trim on Saturday (my last one for a long time)

 

[Soliel185]

I'd like to know this as well...

I get my SAA from lotioncrafter.com. They have the best price that I've found so far, as well as alot of other great raw ingredients (natural oils & butters) at reasonable prices.

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

You guys are Angels...

Thanks for the valuable information...I was really a little let down when I noticed all of the shedding...dread shed...I will research this. I appreciate you all - your expertise and your honesty...that's what makes this forum ROCK! I look forward to logging in, because I feel like I'm just gonna learn something new and promising...

Thanks Bunches!

 

[JustKiya]

Justkiya,

You are sooo supportive! I think the world of you! Where did you get SAA? Silk Amino Acids, right? I'd like to try it your way....

Thank you!!!!

I got the SAA from lotioncrafters.com - and that actually reminds me - I also added the SAA to my mix because they claim that Ovation has more amino acids than Mega-Tek, and I figured I could add my OWN amino acids and be straight - get all the additional benefits for half the price.... Mama gotta pay for gas!!!

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

:scratchch Question - (and I know I should probably be in another thread....)
Is pure MSM powder and the pure Sulfur powder used for gardening the same thing???

I was going to whip-up a mix and wondered is this safe for use on my scalp??? I thought it was at first, but now I don't know for certain....can someone help me?

You guys are so knowledgeable about other topics, I thought, why not just put it out there????

 

[Rapunzel2B]

My hair hates protein! Which product has less protein, the OCT or MT?
