Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[tt8]

Thanks to jkiya-nappy, I finally figured out how to attach an actual photo in my replies. Earlier I listed the links but here is my starting point.

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.

I don't think it's a protien treatment, as my hair doesn't really LIKE protien, and it's enjoying this. I'm natural, and I still only get my hair wet once a week - I apply it to my hairline every morning, and massage my scalp on Wed and Friday (on dry hair) with it, and then again on Sunday (on damp hair). I wash it out on Sat.

I don't know if anyone is using the Mega-Tek as a full strand conditioner - I know the Ovation 'set' actually comes with a conditioner...

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!

Ya know, that's what I was thinking, but I didn't want to trip myself up, ya know? And yeah - for two weeks?!!?!? I can 'see' (I think, I hope!) my hair growing - it definitely felt longer in the shower than it did last time I had it loose (two weeks ago) - but - I don't REALLY believe it til I see the pictures. It's the only way to keep the hype/anorexia in check!

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.

I haven't seen a dandruffy effect with the Mega-Tek, either. I have a pretty light touch with it, so that might help.

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?

I put it in the day after I wash my hair, 3 days after I wash my hair, and the day before I wash my hair.

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..

Yeah - I'm a very doubtful Mary when it comes to growth aids in general - I need to SEE the pictures for proof (even if its' on my own head!) Thanks for confirming at least a lil something something.....

Ur welcome and Thank U!!

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.

Thanks!

Mine should be here next week - Can't Wait!

Has any body used the Creme Rinse or Cell Therapy as a deep conditioner?

I just asked Carlee if the Creme Rinse could be used as a deep conditioner with heat under a dryer and she say she would recommend the 'Cell Therapy' to be used as a deep conditioner with heat

I asked isn't the Cell Therapy specifically for the scalp, and she said 'No'..It can be used all over the hair. She said it is used on the scalp for growth but all over the hair for all over hair healthiness...

Just wondering if anyone is using this as a deep conditioner or just using their regular conditioners??

 

[tt8]

Wowzers! It seems like the OCT is "multi-faceted" like Feria. So from different conversations challenge members have had with Carlee we've found OCT has many uses.
We have found that OCT can be used...
1. on dry or wet hair (the more it is applied/left on the better the results)
2. as a deep conditioner
3. on both hair and scalp (supposedly stops shedding)
4. overnight and or as a leave-in on scalp

feel free to add to the list...

I wonder if it'd be too much to:

1. Deep Condition with Cell Therapy
2. Rinse Out.
3. Apply Creme Rinse
4. Rinse Out Creme Rinse
5. Apply Cell Therapy to Scalp
6. Leave-In and Style as usual

Does anyone think this may be "Doing Too Much?"

I don't think so - the line was meant to be used together, eh?

 

[sunshinelady]

Y'all are making it so hard for me not to buy this, but I'm fighting it.

 

[naijaGal]

Has anyone with traction alopecia tried this stuff? My temples were practically bare when I started but I'm sure they're getting darker which I equate to growth.

I also started taking Nourkin at the same time so I'm not sure if it's the combi that’s doing the trick but I remember taking nourkin for abt a month a while ago and I can't say I noticed that much happening. I'm going to see it out for the full 3mth challenge then I'll know for sure if I'm imagining things or not.

I shampoo, Rinse. Put on the OT/Mega tek leave on for 5 minutes - scalp and hair (do not rinse yet)
Then I apply the creme rinse on top of that and leave on for how ever long, then rinse.
My hair feels wonderful. ( did this last night)

Of course I continue to apply on the scalp through out the week. Better results with more frequent usage

How is every one else using it...? I had to ramp up the usage. The once a week when I started was not going to get it....

Question for those that have been using for a least a month...do you think the one bottle will be enough for the 3 month challenge?

Hey, I'm thinking ahead...I may need to buy another bottle now, for later

 

[daniemoy]

OK ladies, its official I'm in on this too. Got my OCT in the mail yesturday. Wish me luck.

I have the mega-tek cell rebuilder, and I have been using it as a conditioner (with out heat), and then I rinse off. I then add some to my scalp and leave on.

I think mine will be enough - I only use it for scalp massaging though, not actual conditioning. I put it into a 2oz tub, as well, to make it easier for me to 'control' how much I use. Precious stuff, I tell ya.

I got my bottle in December and it's almost empty now.

 

[Shaley]

Ok. I think I will apply it on slightly damp hair overnight... Wash with the shampoo in the morning, Deep condition with the cell therapy.. Then proceed with the creme rinse.. and apply little cell therapy to my scalp after my rollerset.
Trial & Error.... I'll figure something out

OK tt8, you can officially add me to the list!!

I got my Mega-Tek today in the mail...so exicted...the scent is AMAZING! I was so anxious that I immediately rinsed my hair w/ a gentle amla/shikakai tea, towel dried & then started applying the Mega-Tek to my scalp in beween my twists...I dabbed a teeny bit for each part of my scalp...rubbed it in a little but not too much and then waited...

I cannot say I felt the tingling sensation...I guess a little bit of itching in the back, but nothing really noticable ..

I plan to use it quite frequently ..like EVERYDAY...am I crazy for doing that? I just want the quickest results possible...I really hope to get some spectacular results from this...

NOTE: For those w/ sensitivites to fragrances (like me) only use as little as possible on your scalp b/c the scent lasts for a while and is kind of strong..not overpowering but be careful if you are very sensitive....

That's what I'm doing as well..."oiling" the scalp and massaging.

I have to much other stuff to go through, rate and dump if necessary to use the gold that is MegaTek on the length.

I got my bottle in December and it's almost empty now.

I scooped some out of the bottle and placed in a cup w/SAA (someone said it was missing SAA and protein from OCT). I started panicking thinking "have I used an 1/8 of cup since I received the order...is this gonna last...should I hit the submit button to order another bottle?"erplexed

*closing second window to Stagecoach site - aborting order*

Oooh, brillant!! I'm so going to go home and add some SAA to my tub, too!

 

[thegirltolove]

Does anyone know of a distributor for this product that delivers to APO addresses. I can't do it on the site.

MAN, I am missing out on all the good stuff!!!!

 

[Keen]

I can't believe I missed this bandwagon. I'm ordering my products right now. I'm relaxing my hair this weekend. So I'll have a fresh start.

 

[CocoGlow]

I have to totally take back what I said earlier about the Mega-Tek not causing my scalp to tingle & itch...whooooo....I guess I didn't feel it as much b/c my scalp was still wet but now that it is almost completely dry, I can definitely feel the tingles & itchies on various sections of my scalp!!

It's not unbearable..just a little weird..sort of like creepy crawlies that stay in one place LOL....it's like one section will tingle & itch --then it will go away--then another section will do the same

Weird-- but I hope this means that it is working!

I am really not looking forward to thicker hair...I wouldn't mind the actual strands getting thicker b/c I would assume they would be more resilient than my fragile thin strands, but my napps are DENSE enough!!!! I want faster growth NOW!!!!

 

[tt8]

Did you try calling them? I think you should and talk to Carlee because of all the profit we have given them in this thread alone they should be able to work with you. If not you are more than welcome to send it to me and I forward it to you if plan A doesn't work. But something tells me Carlee will work with ya

I think you will be fine cause Sareca has had her bottle since the beginning of December and she still has some left. I think at one time her husband was even stealing some of it . If you are just applying to the scalp and not the strands, you will be fine. A lot goes a long way also. HTH

[It~Can~Grow]

Ah, yeah. Sometimes I'm sitting and I'll take my one long (weak) fingernail and scratch sideways...then another spot will itch...an hour later the other side will start.

I KNOW it's the MegaTek because my scalp is for sure clean and free from gunk.
