Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[nycutiepie]

Anybody noticing shedding?

It's almost a week since I've been using OCT and I have not noticed any increased shedding. I wash 2x per week and I am also using it as a leave-in on my scalp around 3x per week so it is constantly on my scalp. Every single growth-aid I've used has caused me to shed excessively, but so far I'm good with OCT and I hope it stays that way.

 

[nycutiepie]

I have done it two different ways this week, but both times with great results.

Today, I just used the OCT line. Shampooed, then applied Cell Therapy to my scalp first, and then like a nickel sized drop throughout my hair. Left it on for about 10-15 minutes, rinsed and used the OCT conditioner. I actually added some Herbal Essence's LTR to my hair also because I like my conditioner to be thick throughout my hair and I didn't want to use too much OCT because of its cost. Showered and rinsed.


The other days, I applied Cell Therapy to my scalp and MT to my hair after shampooing and left it on overnight. I felt that my hair felt a little crunchy, so I have to continue experimenting with MT to get the right dosage. I might mix it with some Jamaican Black Castor Oil for softness.

Thanks for responding!

Hardly any. I'm so amazed at this stuff, it's totally crazy. I never thought my hair would thicken up and my GOD, it is getting thicker. I wash it and apply the OCT to my scalp and at night before i got to bed I'm applying it again. DANG-IT I'm getting a new camera for my d-day, they gonna have to put me in a commercial. Last night, I gave myself a touch up, I hardly put any on the thin area because I noticed there were new hairs up there and I was afraid to bother them but there are about a half inch long and it's been like 2 1/2 weeks I've been using this stuff. I called my kids in the bathroom to make sure it wasn't breakage and they so "no ma, it's that spot that was kinda see-through" (of joy)

Okay, I may need to go ahead and order a few more bottles.

Way to grow!

I'm telling you girl, this stuff is crazy. Got me looking

 

[Shimmie]

Wow this thread has grown... I'm post #932.....Opps...#935

Progress...6 weeks of use, and now my hair in the front can be tossed over my shoulders towards my back. Before it just stayed in front of my shoulders. Now I can 'sweep' it to the back.

My back length is almost 'bra-strap', considering that I cut about 1/2 (or more) a few weeks ago. It grows back pretty fast; before it took about two months to re-gain the cut growth. Now it takes only a few weeks.

I'll try to take some pictures this weekend, upload and post asap. Is that okay?

Happy progress to each of you

Oh! I forgot to share this.

I posted a while back that I was using the OCT on my fingernails and sometimes on my eyebrows. My nails are growing faster. I still keep them filed down, because I type a lot... lol: we all do, if we're here), but on my job, I'm typing all day long.

Now, I'm filing my nails down at least 3 times a week; they are growing fast. And all I'm doing is putting the excess OCT that's left in my hand (when I Oct-ta-ssage my scalp) onto my nails and into my cuticles.

NOW....the other day I noticed that my eyebrows were a little darker. And I don't wear eye make up on my brows (I don't like made up eyebrows - it has to be natural or nothing at all).

So it appears that OCT has made my brows thicker as well, and I've only applied it there a few times...just randomly.

Blessings beautiful ladies..."Happy Hair"

HOW DID YOU GET FREE MEGA TEK?

 

[Tootuff]

I have been using it for about 2 weeks now but I haven't really noticed anything different, but then again I can never tell my hair is growing until I see it straight. I might have to do a rollerset sooner than I planned so I can see if I have any results.

If any ladies have not yet purchased these products you need to run and get them fast because they actually work. One thing I love is that you don't have to use it excessively to get results. I just replaced my usual co-wash conditioner with OCT and viola! I don't feel like I am doing anything extra!! I love this stuff. Today marks around the 11 week that I am using it! I did do a 1/2 trim about 3 weeks ago and I still feel good growth!

 

[baddison]

Greetings, to everyone. I have just joined this challenge. I ordered OCT last week, and it should be here by Tuesday, 4/15 (TAX DAY!!).

I'm quite excited to get started. I have awful, awful breakage right in the back-center of my head! Its terrible. I hope with a good regimen, and a lotta OCT, this will alleviate my issues.

It came yesterday Starting my OCT treatments tonite!!

Hi DSD

You're so right about this. I like that I can 'cut' my hair more often for healthy growth and with the OCT, it grows back really FAST! It's very encouraging!

And it doesn't take much product for results. I'm still on my very 1st bottle (since Feb 23 when I started).

Happy Hair Growth and blessings to you.

I just finished off my first bottle this morning. I order another one so it should be here in time for me to stay on schedule. It's so easy to use. I love it. I can actually braid up my nape hair which is something I haven't been able to do in some years! Woo Hoo!!

HOW DID YOU GET FREE MEGA TEK?

I already got a sample of the ovation from a board member so I went out looking for mega tek so I could smell/feel it. I went to a feed store here where I get my garden tools sharpened and they had some. While I waited, I was talking with the lady about it and she said a bottle had come in cracked in the last shipment. You know how the bottom of plastic bottles can crack, well that is what happened. She had it in a ziplock bag. I offered to buy it so I could get a reduced price but she let me have it. I will start using it after the ovation I have runs out.

 

[Cassandra1975]

Is OCT really $56.95 for a 12-oz bottle????
I need a coupon or somethin'...I haven't even checked the price on the Mega Tek. Whoo, I was really about to order until I saw that price!

This may have been addressed already, but - how long does the 12-oz bottle last? Are you applying only to scalp, or to scalp and hair??

Hey Cassandra1975
Mega-Tek is much cheaper and from what I can see, they both give the same results..check the 1st post of this thread for vendors & prices...

Thanks - I will check it out.
I guess I was just in shock when I saw that price on the OCT and I needed to type it out to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

I've been using MT for about a month now. I'm not seeing the thickness yet but it seems like I have many hairs that are about 1/2 inch to 1 inch long throughout my head.

Could this be new hair growing in? I hope so but I'm not sure. I had a lot of shedding right before I started to use MT and during the first week.

Overall I can tell my hair is longer although I haven't straightened it to check. I also like the way my hair feels. I never get the itches even though I apply it to my scalp.

 

[LondonDiva]

I include it in my spritzer that I use on my hair every day - so it's the best of both worlds - I'm only using a tiny bit, but it's getting all over my hair.

OOOOOhhhh good idea, I'm gonna add some to my H-Two

 

[Shaley]

I know that both the OCT and MT are expensive, but are any of you ladies using this product as a deep conditioner or using it on your entire head to strengthen it?

I read how some ladies have experienced a halt in breakage and shedding and I wonder how that can be if you're only applying it to your scalp and not along the rest of your hair at least once.

I use it on my scalp and hair twice a week.

Every other week I deep condition with it all over my hair- with heat.

I honestly don't have half as much breakage and shedding as I did prior to using the OCT... I can't believe when I comb my hair throughout the day that only 1 or 2 hairs are in the comb....Seriously

 

[lovelymissyoli]

Thank you ladies for all your responses!

 

[Tallone]

Just used it for the first time. I'm happy it doesn't stink, for some reason I was expecting it too.
Here's hoping for great results!

 

[GeorginaSparks]

product: 21.95

[mstaiti]

ok, i need some insight. Maybe I'm putting to much on, but everytime i put it on my scalp and massage it in, it gets on my hair and i wind u re-flat ironing it over. Am I putting to much on it?

Yeah, you most likely are. I put mine into a tub, and dip JUST the tip of my finger it lightly - I more 'dab' my finger against the surface, than anything else. I then rub that finger against my scalp, making sure to spread and massage it in, and then I get another tiny dab and repeat. It take me 3-4 dabs to do my whole front hairline (ear to ear).

 

[GeorginaSparks]

so some people are applying on their scalp daily and some are using like conditioner?

 

[yodie]

I put mine in an applicator bottle and apply. Just started, but I plan on applying daily.

 

[WomanlyCharm]

I use the Megatek as my regular conditioner.
The OTC is for my scalp, and sometimes I use it on my damp scalp/hair ovenight with a plastic cap.
HTH!

 

[january noir]

I've stretched to 10 1/2 weeks using the OCT Pack. I have never been able to do this before. I get my touch up tomorrow and I will see what my hair stylist says. I hope he tells me that I have no breakage! That would be like Christmas to me! Pray for me ladies!

ETA: It will be week 5 of using OCT Pack

(Gasp, I feel another Tella Novella episdoe about to happen)

Scene: LondonDiva is looking at her reflection in the mirror of her vanity located in her west-wing bathroom parlor. She is broken as she does her nightly ritual of applying her growth potion. This potion makes the girls jealous and the men swoon over her lovely locks. All the attention has caused her great despair...enters tt8 her friend that shared the secret of the potion...

tt8: London, I am to blame for our addiction to the Mega potion

LondonDiva: It's all your fault... At fist I just wanted locks cascading down my back but at what price

tt8: But it wasn't I. It was Mistress Sareca. She brought it back from her travels in Eqyss. I told you she warned about the curse of the potion. Once you start you will never be able to stop. But look at the bright side you're now also the envy and hero of the village.

LondonDiva: What have I done?

Scene: London hears an outcry outside her window. She exits onto the balcony, followed by tt8. There is a crowd of women lead by Sareca with locks past there bra straps chanting and praising her with the words
Ovación,OvaciónOvación!!!
(I'm officially a dork!! )

Um.....can you finish the story, please.

"Mega Ovación" (that's the title I gave our tella novell) won't be finished till the end of the challenge. We are just adding chapters along the way ...Stay tuned!
