Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[girlyprincess23]

When I was using it, I put it on my scalp and my hair...my hair was moist, strong and thick.

It's up to you, though

oh yeah..okay because some got on my hair b/c i didn't part it first i was just trying ot get it onto my fingertips and then on my scalp but my hair got in the way...i was afraid it was gonna make it crunchy...i'm glad it didn't do that to you!!

A question to the ladies who Mega-Tek,

When you use the Mega-Tek on your scalp and hair, is it making your hair feel stronger but a bit dry? My hair feels stronger but sometimes a bit dry. To combat the dryness I am trying to use the leave-in spray but sometimes it doesn't seem to be enough.
Recommendations on use will be highly appreciated.

On the positive side, I think I am noticing some growth already.

 

[JustKiya]

ummm halfway through what? does the challenge end at some point?

This 'session' was supposed to go from March 1st to June 1st, if I'm remembering right - so that we could see (and document) the results. I'm thinking I might keep using it though - if I see ANY growth, much less the kind of results Sareca got....

Hrm. I can't say that I have. When I used it on damp hair, it felt 'slick' somehow, and a little 'crunchier' than usual - it felt COATED - that's the word - but my hair the day after a wash usually does feel a little 'drier' than usual.

Otherwise though, it's been great.

I DO use my own 'daily' spray - water, humectant (used to use glycerin, now using honeyquat) a lil tea tree oil (antifungal), and a conditioner (I was using Elasta QP IFC, now using SAA), and a few drops of some other oil (amla oil is my oil of choice, right now) - so that might be combating any dryness it's causing without me even being aware of it.

Thanks for responding so fast!
Yes. "Coated" is the right way to describe it.
I think I will try to adjust my leave-in spray and use it daily.

The actual challenge is from March 1-June 1, 2008 to see how much growth we can all get in 90 days. If you are happy with the product or your results plz continue using after the deadline. The challenge was to give us ample time to test the product out and its growth claims.

okay well i didn't miss too much and i'm supposed to be getting a relaxer in june anyway.

 

[CocoGlow]

I plan to purchase the Mega Tek today..I really hope to get good results w/ this one!!

So I'll report back when I actaully start using it

Questions:

Is anyone else using other products from the Eqyss line: the Avocado Mist Detangler, the Premier Cream Rinse or the Premier Hydrating Spray w/ good results?

Are they comparable to other products or unique enough to purchase?

 

[Empress Yahudah]

I said I would do a length check in 4 weeks. I have 1 inch of new growth but I am going to wait till 8 weeks or retouch time to check length...........

 

[january noir]

I gotta tell ya, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product! The best ever! I used the CT on dry scalp last night and let it sit overnight. This evening, I washed using the OCT Color Shampoo and the OCT Conditioner Rinse. I then deep conditioned with Profectiv Break Free Growth Deep Conditioner with heat for about 1 hour. The tangles melted away. I lost maybe 5 shedded hairs. I am now sitting under the dryer with these Curlformers. I hope they come out right. OCT is a keeper!!! I am very, very pleased!!

I am too! Tried my Ovation products (the shampoo, the treatment and the rinse) and my hair was amazingly soft and shiny. My goodness!
Whether it makes my hair grow faster or stay on my head longer I don't even care. I love the way it makes my hair feel and behave.

I've been using the Mega-Tek on and off for the past few weeks. I have experienced growth from it, but it's hard to tell length wise. I'm doing a relaxer and a big chop on Friday so will be able to tell my growth rate after that.

I may try the OCT only after they tell me how much the S&H is to the UK.

With the Mega-Tek does anyone find it leaves like a dandruff like appearance when you apply and leave it on the scalp.

Does teh OCT do this also?

 

[tapioca_pudding]

I applied the OCT to dry hair last nite, then massaged it in and let it dry. I am having some SERIOUS tingling/itching happening today!

I've been using it a few times a week for 3 weeks.

That is all... random musings..

 

[CocoGlow]

I'm patiently waiting for someone to post updated pics of their hair from using the Mega-Tek .. I have no doubt about OCT from all the pics but I cannot afford that right now so I'm hoping Mega-Tek can deliver the same growth for me.....I should be getting it in the mail any day now..I'm trying not to get excited ..I really need pics ladies!!!

 

[JustKiya]

Pictures, you say??

PLEASE ignore the ooogly face - it was late, and I was tired. I'm only going to leave these up for a while - I wanted ya'll to see how it hit me on (slightly) different spots on my face.

The first pic was taken February 28th, the second was taken March 16th.

I don't know. I THINK my finger is a little bit further down on my face - I measured the sapce between my nose and my upper lip, and it's almost EXACTLY an inch - and I grow about 1/4 inch a month.... And obviously, I didn't comb out the ends of the second braid as well as I could have - I was tired. I've gotta get better at these comparison pics - I'm used to once every 3 months shots - I don't have to work as hard/be as precise to get the SAME measurement.

I dunno. Everytime I look at them, I think I see less and less of a change. Mind, this IS only two weeks....... so, I dunno.

I've got SUCH a big head.

It's $33 to ship via FedEx and u'll prob get hit with a £20 exise duty like I did. If I order again I'll ask them to use a shipping method that takes longer than the 4 days for FedEx

 

[sunshinelady]

Am I supposed to get the Coat Rebuilder or the Cell Rebuilder?

Thanks!

Cell Rebuilder.

 

[sunshinelady]

Thank Kiya! What about the Rejuvenator? I thought that is the product that was replaced by Ovation.

It is, but I didn't think you could find it anymore, since it was replaced. And ya know, I just went and checked my bottle, and it's actually the Equine Cell Coat and Hoof Rebuilder......

 

[gorgeoushair]

You can get the rejuvenator on ebay

 

[Cayenne0622]

I'm confused! erplexed Is this Ovation stuff really just a protein treatment? And if so, am I risking breakage by using it so often? It seems like this product is easier to use for women who are natural or cowashing everyday. I need the best tips on how to use this on my relaxed head. I've been applying it to my scalp (nape and front edges only) everyother day. I can't wet my hair prior to using it. is it okay that I apply it at night to my scalp only? Is it safe to use once a week as a conditioner? If its a protein, I'm scared to use it on the entire length of my hair when i wash my hair once a week b/c i don't want to end up with brittle hair.
Please help me.

Im relaxed and have been using it for 4 weeks now.
I just apply it to my scalp and spread it all over my scalp like if u were to oil ur scalp.
I wash the same as before once a week
Now the roots will get a bit of it on there and look alittle white so after it drys I just moisturize/oil my edges Or if im wearing a part I moisturize/oil the section and the white is gone. So none of it gets on my hair except the hair closest to the scalp.
I dont use it on my hair at all since I just want it for growth

You look fine! I can see the growth!! It looks as if your hair grew from a little below your nose to almost the crease in your lips. That's some progress for just 2 weeks! Congrats!

Does teh OCT do this also?

Hi LondonDiva!
I have not experienced this with the OCT; it makes my hair shiny and swangy (I am 6 weeks post) and no dandruff-like appearance. This is my second time this week using OCT and if I notice anything different, I will post it.

Ohhh okay. Good good good! Thanks for your response. I was really getting confused and hoping that I was using it correctly. Last night I used my spray on moisturizer (Elasta QP H2). I lightly sprayed it on my scalp and then followed it by applying the Ovations to my scalp in those same areas. I hope have results like Sareca's. I just whacked an inch or more of hair off last night out of frustration so now I have to fight like a champ to get my length back.
Thanks again. Your hair is beautiful!

If you wash your hair only once a week, do you apply it the night before you wash your hair? and then wash it out the next day?

 

[cupcakes]

damn i need 2 by some of this s stuff ASAP

 

[imstush]

I haven't posted my starting pics although they are in my phone. I've been using the mega-tek cell rebuilder. I also have that coat rebuilder, but I haven't used it often. On Sunday I washed with Phyto shampoo and conditioned with the mega-tek rebuilder, and boy oh boy those creepy crawlers. I used some more on my scalp today and had similar tingling results. I really like this product

I agree thanks for the pics and that is definately growth. Don't talk yourself out of it..if you do you will always doubt yourself..

Yes I apply it the night before I wash my hair. But I don't apply it on wash day after I have rollerset and styled my hair... Just dont feel like it after all that.

 

[mnemosyne]

I just got this yesterday and put it in last night. Then I co-washed this morning and put some more in after my normal moisturizing routine.

Then I went to my derm and told them i wasn't using all those shampoos they gave me for my dermatitis for months (hey, they ALL have SLS in them). My scalp looks fine. It is a little tingly/itchy though.
