Has anyone had problems with Stagecoach? The website seemed rather suspect to me, so I bought off ebay. Even though I paid $10 more.

No problems what so ever. Made my purchase, put in credit card, hit submit and w/in a day they shipped my item UPS w/tracking.
No shipping fee
Edit 4/7: We're no longer using stagecoach. They're trying to play us by increasing price and now charging shipping.

Hey Ladies, count me in! I rcvd my bottle of Megatek last week, and I think I have 1/2 an inch of ng already (currently 3 in. past sl)!!!! I am so excited that I will regrow the four inches my former stylist chopped off (bsl hair)!! I am also transitioning (8 weeks). I love how much thicker my hair is and the thin, broken nape area is no longer a thin, broken nape area. It is as thick/long as the rest. I couldn't believe it when I washed and roller set my hair! I am using it on my scalp EVERY day. My hair doesn't look so great, It's getting really puffy and not too shiny, or holding curls...but I love to touch it, and I'm glad I have more of it...Thanks for the challenge and sharing information about this product.
To the person who brought MegaTek to us:
I pray God's blessings of prosperity and wholeness in every area of your life....
Happy Growing to all of you,
Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll

My head was itching yesterday....geeshhhhh. And it is sore today, more than before.
I too have new hairs coming up around my hairline...babyhairs are kicking in. Dh is my proof that its coming in cause he keeps reminding me that they are thicker than before...what am I doing to it????
I haven't told anyone what I'm using...even dh, because I want people to comment on my hair, and that lets me know that its working.

Also had the mega tek bottle sitting on my dresser and the bf picked it up and gave me a look. I just stammered "uh.. it's for hair, I know it says it's for horses..."erplexed
I need to stop leavin all my stuff out.
that's another reason I put mine in a tub - the bottle with the big old EQUINE on the side is nicely tucked away in my cabinet - DH has no clue what's in the little white tub I use.

Curious question for those using Mega-Tek (I am using the entire Ovations Maximizing System (includes Cell Therapy). I have not used Mega-Tek so that is why I am asking the question.
I haven't read every single post in this thread, but I have read that Mega-Tek has been leaving hair "crunchy" or with a dandruff-like residue. I know many are adding SAA and other stuff to help alleviate those effects.
I am using the Ovations shampoo, Cell Therapy and creme rinse and my hair is so silky and shiny to the touch; no additional products are needed.
If Mega-Tek and the Ovations products are the same and/or have the same ingredients, why does one seem to work differently than the other? Would it be the concentration of an ingredient? More or less of something?
Anyone that can shed light on this is appreciated!

The Ovation products have several ingredients that the Mega-Tek does not, and all of those ingredients seem designed to leave your hair feeling 'good' - smoother and softer.
I haven't found that the Rebuilder leaves my hair crunchy - even before I added the oils, etc, to it. I wonder if it's because I use so little of it, that I'm not getting much on my hair?
The mix with the oils, leaves my hair feeling softer and smoother, actually - I wonder if it's just the castor oil that makes the difference.

tt8 add me!!! I just got my Cell Therapy yesterday and used it for the first time last night on my dry scalp. From now on will most likely be putting it on wet hair every other day.
on a sidenote, I put some on my ends. and I did NOT like how it made them feel. almost a little straw like and puffy. so I dont think ill be doing that again. just the noggin only.
Or maybe ill try it on the length, but only on wet hair.

I think that's the key. Ladies, don't use too much on the length of your hair. My hair does not feel crunchy at all.
Also, you really don't need to put alot of OCT on the scalp to cause it to have so much buildup. A little goes a long way.
When you put it on the scalp, smooth it in...it should only take no more than two dips to put on each part you make on your scalp. It may not seem like its enough, but it is.
I suggest also adding some type of oil or something to the ends of your hair after you put the MegaTek on the length. My hair is always so soft the next day. Oh, I also make sure I braid my hair at night and then put on a scarf. Works every time.

It' works better to me, on wet/damp hair...and remember, don't use too much.

I put any and all "scalp treats" including shampoo and my rosemary mint conditioner in color applicator bottles. I don't even have to part my hair to apply it so it's less manipulation. Once it's on, I insert my fingers close to my scalp and rub them around - I hate parting.
Is the Megatek too creamy or thick to make it through an applicator nozzle?

I expect that little 2 oz tub to last me at LEAST 2 months - possibly three - and I have a big head!I messed up the first tub trying to experiment with ceteyl alcohol as an emulsifier
, but after two weeks, I had barely gotten through 1/2 oz - IF that much. I dab just the TIP of my finger into the tub, and work that into my scalp - once it's all worked in, I get another dab, and move on. Each dab covers about 2 square inches, or so? It takes me 4 'dabs' to do my whole hairline.

Exactly...especially if you are using the OCT on the scalp. That stuff is just too expensive to use too much

Thank you JustKiya. That answers my question.
I have been using the Ovations system as directed on the bottles and it is perfect. I apply the Cell Therapy to scalp and length of my hair and the end result is not crunchy nor do I have build-up. It's just perfect. My hair never felt better and I have less shedding as it says. The Creme Rinse is divine! I am 9 weeks post and I can honestly say that if I used this stuff all the time, I could transistion to natural with ease.
Just a thought... :scratchch

Wow, JustKiya, fantastic progress! I knew this stuff was working, I just knew it! Even my mother wants to know what I'm doing to my hair, it looks so thick and full...and my beautician confimed that it's definately growing.
I'm going to order more of this stuff when my bottles are done.
Okay, ya'll.
I'm a believer.
I've been growing hair for a little less than 2 years (I count May 2006 as the start, as I dyed my hair platinum blond - and I ended up cutting it all off, so I might as well have shaved my head), and I have roughly 6 inches of hair. Miserably, that means that my hair only grows about 1/4 inch a month - on average. I suspect it grows a little faster in the summer time, but it slows down a lot in the winter. Anyhow. 1/4 inch a month is the growth rate I was assuming I had.
I started at barely a 1/4 inch below my nose. By the 15th, I was almost to my upper lip - maybe at the 1/3 of an inch mark. Today, though, I'm WELL at my lip crease (ignoring the two or three strands I was holding onto to hold the braid down) which would be the inch mark. That would mean that I grew 3/4 of an inch in a MONTH. Three. quarters. of. AN. INCH!!! *faint*
Thats three times normal, ya'll. And that's AVERAGED out normal, not summer normal, which is MUCH faster than the normal I'm working with right now (the weather hasn't shifted fully here yet).
I'm truly a believer. I don't know HOW it works - but - :bouncegre:bouncegre :bouncegre :bouncegre I'm SO sold. The only thing I shifted was that out of the last - 6 or 7 days before I took the last set of pics I've used it maybe 4 times, instead of previously, where I might have only used it twice every 7 days.
AND! We aren't even going to TALK about the amount of breakage I had this time. Hardly none. Nor - nor - are we going to talk about how EASY my hair was to detangle - EVEN though I actually wore a twist-out this weekend (which, I haven't done in months, because the last time I did - and much less SLEPT on it - I was nearly in tears at the end of my detangling session). I think I'm in
One thing I did notice - there seemed to be a wee bit more shedding. Not that I really MIND, as I'd rather a hair shed (natural death) vs. break (hair homicide), but I'm wondering if the increased growth rate is booting those hairs that were near the end of their life out a little early?
Has anyone else noticed more shedding?
I'm a lil giddy, ya'll.

Isn't it just wonderful when others tell you that something is different with your hair???
I'm so happy that there is a product that is giving me what I've wanted for a long time....

I don't have gray hair growing in anymore!
I hennadigo my hair regularly, but that makes the grays a dark coppery-red. They're still pretty easy to find if you know what to look for. Yesterday, I found a shed hair that was coppery-red from the middle to the end of the strand and black at the root! Did my previously gray hair start growing in black?
Oh that remind me... I had to throw away a brand new bottle. My second order was open!
The lid was barely screwed on and the safety seal was broken (half peeled up actually). I called and offered to send it back. She said throw it away and she'd send another one. I didn't throw it away. I had no intention of using it, but I COULDN'T throw it out. I held on to it for days. When my new bottle arrived (free of charge 
) I finally chunked the tampered one. It was a hard choice tho.
