Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge Sept. '08

[SmartyPants]

I just ordered OCT. When you guys check-out be sure to click on where you heard about the product and choose the option for LHCF (Yes, we are there). I got a 10% discount on my order.

 

[Shimmie]

Thanks! Its probably just nappy from the wet product...but either way, I like it.

Let's make that 85 inches of soft, silky hair.

Hello, I'm new. I found this site through another forum. I have been using MT for almost 2 weeks and I have crazy new growth. I really like the way it softens my NG, its almost like it texlaxed.

 

[Shimmie]

Is it too late to join this challenge??? Please say "No". I get paid tomorrow so I'll be ready to order....I think I want to tryyyy Mega-Tek. Not because I know of any real difference between the two but b/c it's cheaper and a sista got bills ookaay .

~T~

It's never too late to join ... Angel.

And you will love the Mega Tek You can try the Ovation later, okay?

Just PM DontSpeakDefeat to add you to the list.

Welcome CurlieT

MsElise.......Welcome to our forum. Your hair is beautiful.

God bless you....

Nah, the urea is a preservative, and even if it was a protein, that close to the bottom of the list, it wouldn't make any difference.

Thanks so much. I don't really know what to do with my hair anymore. The Jessicurl at least kept it manageable so that I could drag it into a ponytail. I am so ready to either cut or relax. These two textures are killing me.

I had planned to cut in January but with MT I might give myself a Christmas present and chop these scraggly relaxed ends off.

Thanks Doll, this is good to know. I'll be re-ordering soon. I don't want to run out of either product.

 

[Shimmie]

Ok thankz and i was asking because i read that some people who had OCT had the system because that is the one that is like $100. But yea if i do buy OCT it will only be the cell therapy....Gurl when i start using this MT and it works i will be doing thisand lol.

You can purchase the smaller system (Shampoo, Cell Therapy and Creme Rinse) for under $60. Or the 12 ounce Cell Therapy for the same price.

It will last a long time. And Girl, it will have your hair doing this all day and night long. Yep

 

[Shimmie]

lol

Yes, and I will be ankle length by tomorrow morning.

nope it's the truth after one week of ovation i had 1 little curl at my scalp.. it is the truth!!

yeah dat'...Ovation is da' Truf...it is

 

[Shimmie]

LOL!!! Next time I need to some help I'm calling you up!!! So you can put the smack down!

Thanks for the well wishes.

I had my hair wrapped in a scarf for a couple of days and now it seems dry. I thought the satin scarf would help it retain it's moisture. Do you think it could be from the protein in the MT? Has anybody else had that problem? I think I might need to sit under my dryer with my WEN.

If i can help I'm very happy to.

As for moisture, I've had the same problems in the beginning. Then I started more frequent Conditioner washes/ less shampooing.

Another thing I do which I didn't post until earlier today; and that is, while my hair is still wet, I just smooth a little oil over it to smooth it down, otherwise I could look like Don King...

I focus on my hair line, and the nape of my neck area.

Your WEN hair care product sounds like a winner. Whatever you feel comfortable with and what works good for you is the key.

I was wondering if you guys have any advice about the dullness that I am having. It's not dry but dull looking. I don't see shine. (Well a few friends said my hair is dull looking. And that I was washing too much. One said I should just wash every 12 days and the other said once a month. And to dump the castor oil. Hmp, one of them has hard hair but it's shiny. Then one said there is no reason to moisturize if you have a good conditioner. Silly women. ) I wash, MT, condition and moisturize. Actually I ran out of moisturizer and have been using a Aloe Vera and Glycerine mix and Botanical spray. Somewhere along the way I lost shine. I am using less oils, only CO.

I bought the MT Survivor Super Shine and nothing! I might return it. Do you think I should reduce the shampoo and co-wash? I have been working out 5 times a week and on the really sweaty days I fill I need to wash my hair. I have been washing twice and co-washed once a week. Tomorrow I plan to co wash then put MT on the length of my hair for 20 minutes then rinse. I've got the dully blues. Is anyone experiencing dullness due to MT?


Oh btw, my hair finally has the strength and elasticity that I have always wanted that I could never get with other products. And I love it! :lovedrool: This is why I WON'T drastically alter my regimen. I would like to thank you guys for encouraging me through your stories and positivity. May you all sit on your hair by next summer.

Have a on me and .

When's the last time you clarified? And - well, natural hair isn't always shiny. It's sheeny. It - sparkles more than it mirrors, if that makes sense?

My first though, though, reading your post is that you've got some buildup that needs to be stripped off so that your hair's shine can sparkle.

 

[Casarela]

ITA...ACV is a good option IMO.

What tames the new fly away (lil baby chick) hair? I love my new growth abd the hair is so silky soft but, if I straighten and get near any water...rain, mist, dew, teardrops, anything-POOF! fuzzy hair. I tried oil but, it weighs my fine, very thin hair down and sticks it together. I have been DC at least once a week so it is well conditioned. I'm stuck between hot mess and hot mess. Any suggestion is appreciated.

I dunno, but if you find out, would you PM a sista? My twists turn to fuzz in a single day. I used to be able to get at LEAST three days.

Re: Ovation Cell Therarpy/Mega-Tek Challenge Sept. '08

These threads are spreading like wildflowers. I haven't resumed my OCT system yet because I relaxed my hair on 9/5. I will continue to apply to product to my scalp in about two weeks. I'm still enjoying my flat-iron and style from the salon.

I have MT, should it be used several days/weeks after relaxing? I just relaxed a week ago and today I used a DRC 28, a hard protein treatment. TIA

Same thing happened to me....what's up with that?

 

[carameldiva]

i decided to experiment a little. I added some of the micro-tek gel to my megatek/oil mixture. I will use this later today and update later. I can't wait. I love the gel already. It is clear and feels good on my front edges and scalp.

I agree that there may be some build up. Excellent advice Kiya

Welcome CurlieT

Thanks Shimmie! I just ordered my MT and PM'd Don'tSpeakDefeat so I am on my way!! I AM SO GEEKED!!! Hopefully the order will ship out today and get here Tues or Wed (my co-wash day). Now I just gotta figure out how to use the stuff - the stuff in which I have entrusted all of my hopes and dreams. Well...it's really not that serious but I am looking for some good results.

I ready a post at the beginning of this thread about keeping the application simple so I'll have to go back read that again so I'll know what works. I AM SO GEEKED!! did I say that already? that's cuz I'M GEEKED!!

~T~

Don't be geeked, just be blessed. It's not the product, it's the promise we are after..........the Hair! If these work, fine; if not, there's always something better and hopefully less expensive.

Blessings and Peace....No geek.

I never clarify. I use a gentle cleansing shampoo from Aubrey Organics not sure if that's the same.

 

[LushLox]

I applied the MT to my scalp for the second time earlier (put some on last night too). I also applied it to the lengths as well, and will wash out shortly. I'm bit worried about protein overload though. I'll have to moisturise like crazy this weekend!

 

[JustKiya]

Nope, not the same - it's better than just cowashing, but not a clarifying.

Girl, dimes to doughnuts, you need a good clarifying. I would start with *thinks* about a teaspoon (or a lil less) of baking soda in about 4-8 oz of conditioner. Work it through your hair, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and rinse out, and see what you think. If your hair ends up a lil dry, DC it with your fave moisture rich DC.

 

[rhapsdyblu]

Okay, if this is a challenge, I'd like to be in it. I can do a month.

My husband picked me up from the hospital today - first schmashogram :blondbooband after asking how were the results (great, no lumps just had a mysterious breast infection a few weeks back 11 years after nursing), he told me that the mailman broke our storm window on the screen door knocking to let us know that we had a package. Now my husband is all distraught because he just had the windows repaired in preparation for the winter. He didn't think to fix the doorbell for the winter, but I digress.

I had to pretend to be upset, talking about suing the post office and they better fix our window or else. Inside, y'all, inside my heart all I was thinking was,

MY STUFF CAME!:bouncegreMY STUFF CAME!



I am going to pre-poo, wash, DC, air dry and flat iron tonight with Sabino moisture block and then apply my wondrous miracle rapunzel making product.

Watch, I'll be the one in a kabillion that it doesn't work on. (Smack that negativity to the ground, apemay.)

Okay, I'm a little giddy right now. I'm hongry (with an 'o') and I'm alone in the office.

I'll keep ya posted.

 

[rhapsdyblu]

Wow, you hair is so beautiful. It has gotten so thick and full. Great progress.

Hey Ladies,

I finally got my touch up after a nine week stretcfh (longest ever!!) Here are some comparison pics. The first one is from July and the current is September. I love MT. I feel like im getting thickness and growth simultaneously. I also have been getting compliments on how full my hair is!! I dont think i'll be switching to OCT just yet.

 

[rhapsdyblu]

I am so happy things were not so bad. Praise God.

Now back to HHG

Thanks for the sweet thoughts Shimmie, JustKiya, and Rhapsdyblu! I appreciate you all.

God is good and we are blessed!!!! Our house is fine. No roof damage. Our wooden fence broke in a couple of places and we had a little bit of water damage, but we got that cleaned up. No windows broke so my MT was in its secret hiding place!!! You know I had to put it up!

So I'm back on my grind and waiting for this hair to grow!

 

[unique4lyfe33]

im so mad my MT came today but nobody was here to get it so i have 2 wait till monday to get it.

 

[january noir]

Praise God! I'm happy to hear that your house is safe.

Right? You and your house!
