Hi Beauti:
This is a new journey for you and your hair and it's a HUGE change. We will help you make this change for the better.
I used to pre-oil my scalp and also added oil to the Ovation and Mega Tek, but I stopped and started using the product 'straight'. I also started rinsing the product from my hair after an hour or so; definitely the next day before re-applying more product.
I don't have all the answers,
, I never will, but I can share my experiences with you and I hope this helps you.
First --- Limit applying the Mega Tek to 3 times a week. (Your hair will still grow
).
Try to Condition Wash your hair first using your favorite hair conditioner.
Rinse it out and then apply the Mega Tek (straight) to your scalp.
After an hour or so, rinse out the Mega Tek (it's strong enough to be effective for an hour) and
condition your hair again. Put on a plastic cap for about 30 minutes to an hour; Rinse and place into your favorite protective style.
Between Mega Tek Days, give your hair a DC treatment. Use your favorite conditioner...but no protein.
If you want to add a little oil to your DC hair conditioner (Castor Oil, or Jamaican Black Castor Oil, or Jojoba Oil or Emu Oil), that will help with moisturizing. Stay away from heat.
I hope this works for you. I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning with these products. Many lessons I learned the hard way. I stopped adding other products to the Mega Tek and my Ovation because it was 'diluting' the product. I wanted to have the full benefit of them as they were. I stopped leaving it in as much, because it caused my hair to shed and it was a little dry.
Okay, let's Recap: Limit apply Mega Tek to 3 times a week.
1. Condition Wash Your Hair (Use your Favorite Hair Conditioner);
2. Rinse out Hair Conditioner
3. Apply Mega Tek (or Ovation Cell Therapy) to scalp (straight...no oil for full effect of product).
4. After at least one hour or longer if you wish, rinse your hair of the Mega Tek (or Ovation)
5. Re-condition your hair with your favorite hair conditioner; adding a little oil to the hair conditioner for extra moisture. (Use Castor Oil or Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Jojoba or Emu Oil).
6. Cover hair in plastic cap; leave on for at least 30 minutes to an hour or overnight.
7. Rinse out and place hair in protective style.
8. Between Mega Tek days, DC your hair with your favorite conditioner but no protein.
9. No heat.
This is only until your hair rehydrates than you can minimize the extra work.
Again, I sure hope this helps. The one thing I've learned is that with these protein products, I have to keep my hair conditioned.
For an extra treat, Treat yourself to a Kiya Fizzie - The KF Solution
(Just Kiya's Wonderful Hair Softening Creation 
).
Once a week, just add a little sea salt to your hair conditioner. Your hair will be soft as silk. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt to a huge handfull of conditioner and apply to hair and fall in love

Thank you mshottienelson. 
Oh welllll.... 
but other than that, it's about perfect.
It's luscious. 
and I envy those who have this advantage over me. I cannot perm my hair, it will break and fall out; and I cannot use heat, it dries and breaks my ends too badly. This is why I couldn't see the challenges that others may have. And I'm so sorry for not seeing this. 
I wish each and everyone of you to have the best success ever with your hair journey. Find your own regimine that works for you. I'm almost there.
