That's VERY nice of them. Also a brilliant way to keep track of how many folks from here are coming through...Marketing beasts, they are.
They most certainly are.Just ordered my OCT. So now I'll have both (have mega tek already). I have 2 questions though. Every since I used some (MT) for the length, my hair will not hold a bend or a curl from me wrapping it at night. It lays stick straight!
1. Do you think it's because I may have coated my hair with it, and should have used it only on my scalp?
2. How long did it take for your OCT to arrive after you ordered it?
TIA!

How do you use the creme rinse? Did you rinse it out immediately after applying?
I deep conditioned with the cell therapy and applied the creme rinse immediately after... I left it in for a few minutes and then rinsed out.
I'm thinking I should have rinsed the creme rinse immediately out because my hair didn't feel right. (Although it felt fabulous after applying the cell therapy
)

Hi Chardai! I apply the creme rinse to my hair from root to tip (making sure all strands are coated (I lightly detangle with my fingers) and let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse.
Are you using any other product? maybe you have build-up from previous treatments and need to clarify.

I apply my Mega-Tek w/ an applicator bottle!
I don't think the mega-Tek alone is too thick to go through the tip of the bottle however I can't say for sure since I filled my bottle w/ half Aloe Vera Gel (Lily of the Desert 100%) & half Mega-Tek..I did this to avoid the slightly crispy feeling and slight buildup on my strands...it's really hard to avoid getting ANY cream on your hair as you rub it in, but the aloe vera combats the slight crispiness and buildup....I did have to switch from using it EVERYday to about every other day....
When I order my SAA, I might add a little to the bottle and MAYBE some castor oil just b/c JustKiya did it LOL!! But honestly, my hair feels fine w/ just the Mega-Tek & Aloe Vera Gel.......

Hey January!
I'm not sure what exactly when wrong... I clarified before I shampooed.
My hair was not easy to detangle or comb through after the creme rinse.
It may have been deep conditioning with the cell therapy because Carlee stated that hair would not be moist after using with heat.
Her statements exactly regarding Cell Therapy were: "Yes, it can be used with heat. Please be aware that since there are no oils in the product it will not be moist after 30 minutes, but that is OK.
Immediately after deep conditioning for 30 minutes w/ heat I applied the creme rinse and let that sit for a few minutes...
NEXT TIME I will not deep condition with heat with the Cell Therapy and just let it sit on my hair for a few minutes or hours, then follow with the creme rinse.

HTH about application. Nice & Wavy gave some great insight on her application and she has had great results from this.

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's funny you bring this up. I have not used the Cell Therapy with heat yet because I was thinking I would use up some of my other products for that purpose.
I've read somewhere that after you clarify, you have to do a deep condition with a moisturizing conditioner and it's just been stated in a recent post that there are no oils in the Cell Therapy. So if you did a DC with the Cell Therapy, it doesn't moisturize, it's more for strengthening!
I am not sure why the creme rinse is not working for you. When I use it, it gives my hair slip like you wouldn't believe. I have little to no ressistance when I comb through even at 9 weeks post.
I know my hair is growing because, the grays have come back with a vengence at my hairline and I just indigo'd a few weeks back and my hairline was completely black!

Wow - that's - odd. That would also be INCREDIBLE, Sareca!!
Duh, I must be gettin' old. In one of the testimonial videos a woman mentions she doesn't have much gray anymore either. http://www.ovationhair.com/testimonials2.htm I saw it before, I just disregarded it.

Beauty IS skin deep.
Great minds think alike I see
I do the same thing with all of my oils and stuff like that. I put almost everything except poos and conditioners in applicator bottles. I also put my Megatek in an applicator bottle, and to answer your question, no, it's not too thick or creamy. It works perfectly for me!!

She must have been using the color product in addition to the treatment

See I thought it was just me. I haven't henna/indigoed my hair for 3 months, so my grey streak is prominant in the front...I noticed a couple of weeks ago that it's gotten smaller. I was like, WTH?
I forgot this product is supposed to turn your hair back to it's original color...
I have no complaints about that!

I'm sure the creme rinse will work for me the next time around. I'll just keep in mind what Carlee said about the cell therapy and no moisture...so I won't expect it.
I'll probably deep condition again with the cell therapy again because my hair feels so much stronger and although it didn't detangle to well after the creme rinse, my hair still turned out fabulous..(Per all the compliments I received
)

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.
And I still brought 3 more bottles. Just to be on the safe side.

I am thinking of doing the same thing.
I just received my second order of the Ovations system but I am thinking i need to get more; even put a pack in the trunk of my car so I make sure I will always have it with me!
Now this is pitiful...
