Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[Jetblackhair]

I think I'm at 1 in/month ya'll. It took me about 4 months to go from 1/2 an inch per month to 1 inch per month using OCT.

Wow, I am speechless...that is awesome!!

​

 

[MzOptimistic]

OMG!!! I don't know which one to purchase. Everyone is having great results with both

*back to my "thinking" corner, I go*

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Is this the product that is equivalent to the Ovation Cell Therapy.

Is this product drying? I have natural hair, I read somewhere that it may be drying..

TIA...

 

[tnorenberg]

You know I just started this challenge and was going to use the Megatek that I already had until the OCT arrived. I told my DH about the product and don't U know he STOLE IT! :gunner7:. That SOB stole my stuff and had the nerve to put it in his bathroom ...Even the Premier Shampoo too.

 

[RZILYNT]

I was due for an update Wednesday. My stylist forgot she had tickets to see the Color Purple. So my relaxer will be the next following Wednesday.
My bangs we cut right at my eyebrows, they are now close to the end of my nose. It is clearly 2 inches.

Oh...I am soooo in!!! I'm going to purchase it RIGHT NOW!! Which one do I need to purchase? I'm in braids/twists now and plan on doing a weave for the summer. Will I still be able to use the product?

 

[sareca]

That's WONDERFUL Sareca!! Do you think OCT or Mega-Tek increases the growth over time? Do you think it will increase to MORE than 1 inch a month?

I will be happy w/ 1 inch a month but OVERJOYED w/ more, being that I have only retained 6 inches in close to 2 years (I'm not bitter....oooh yes I am!!!)

From your lips to God's ears. Honesty, I'm so happy with this I can't even imagine more. That 1/2 inch/month thing sucks! I'm so glad I took a chance with this product. I probably would have gotten to 1inch/month sooner if I'd started out using it daily. For the first month I only used it once/week. *snaps forehead* Now I use it every single day, except for the occasionally break because of the itching.


Thanks ladies! The growth is awesome, but the itches are driving me crazy. My head itches 24 hours/day. It's a bit extreme. Anybody else been using it daily for over 30 days? Is your head itchin' like crazy?

Oh lordy....what am I gonna do when I start growing all this hair!!!erplexed

5 weeks total for me but I have only been using it daily for 2 1/2 weeks and no itchies at all, none. Are you using the OVATION or Mega-Tek or both? I should go back and read your posts. I hope the OVATION isn't going to start itching. I hate itching and having to scratch.

I have been using it for about 15 days and gave myself a touch up this week and since Wednesday I have been using all 3 products and tonight, I'M ITCHING LIKE A MUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I know the hair is clean and ladies, do you look at your scalp and edges to see all the new hairs coming in making the scalp darker. 3 of my cousins ordered this stuff today after one did the most extensive RESEARCH on it in the world. I definitely know what I"m doing with $100 of my stimulus check. You know when you search OCT on the internet this LINk COMES UP? Okay, I'm rattling.

I'm using Ovation. Mine just started itching like this about 8 days ago. Before I had occasional itching. I started using it daily (consistently) after my last touch-up on March 10. So it's been about 40 days and it's bad now. I actually scratched a sore spot into the back of my head. I stopped using ovation for about 36 hours and it got better. But I'm on a mission so I'm gonna just deal with the itching.

Thank you! I was beginning to think it was just me.

Sareca, how are you using it daily? On dry hair or are you washing daily and applying it to wet hair?

 

[Shaley]

I hope mine is working - I've been using for about a month now and have absolutely NO itchies erplexed
Maybe because I only use twice a week and not every day??

 

[nomadpixi]

So are ladies getting growth from EQyss Mega-Tek Coat Rebuilder? (Please say yes). I'm looking to replace my MTG with something that if I sweat in an excercize class I'm not embarrassed by the smell coming from my head.

 

[CocoBunny]

* I MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOME OF YOU THAT ARE NEW TO THE CHALLENGE. PLEASE CHECK THE LIST TO SEE IF YOUR NAME IS LISTED. IF NOT, PLEASE PM SO I CAN ADD IT!!!!
THANKS

Please add me to the challange. I will be using both OCT and Mega Tek. Do you think it would be overkill to mix it in with my Boundless Tresses (which also seems to get RAVE reviews)? The BT is kind of oily so it might combat the scalp dryness and build up. Does anyone have any experiance with this or thoughts either pro or con?

I think that's the problem. Sareca's growth went through the roof when she started using it everyday, rather than 1ce a week.

I'm sure she'll come back and set you straight.

Dang, well maybe I need to up my usage to daily instead of 2-3x/wk.. I just got my mom and BFF onto this... they both ordered some today.

 

[Jetblackhair]

Ok, I got a little scared and decided to order OCT even though I have a couple of Mega-Tek bottles too. I want to have inventory on hand and not run out of product. I have this fear of trying to order Mega-Tek/OCT only to find out that every supplier is out of stock.erplexed

Shoot, 47,000 views to this thread. You know people are going to be buying up this stuff. When I get my stimulus check, I'm going to buy more.

I have My OCT already...great service. I ordered it on 4/17 & received it on 4/19.

 

[Moonxyz]

interesting.... I'm thinking about buying Megatek.

i'll start with the 8oz bottle mixed with castor oil (cause my hair hates protein) 3x a week (before dc ing).

I hope this doesn't smell bad .....

No, it does not smell bad. Actually it smells pretty good, like a light coconut scent.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Mega-Tek ladies help me out...I just ordered yesterday and now I'm having a bit of buyers remorse...I see more raves about the OCT than I do about the Megatek.... I went with the Mega-tek because I was convienced that it was the exact same product.

Ladies that have used both, tell me what you think about them being the same... if they are not the same, please tell me what is different.

I didn't follow my first mind...

Oh, I scrolled up and see you have both please do tell about the difference on your hair, the smell the texture, etc...if you scroll down, you'll see I'm having a bit of buyers remorse b'cas I went with the M-T vs the OCT... let us know what the differences are...

My hair isn't crazy about protein either...

Do tell, why did you choose to go with the OCT vs. the Mega-Tek ?? Have you used both?

JustKiya and LondonDiva have reported growth using Mega-Tek. There are a lot of ladies using Mega-Tek (check out the first page of this thread).

I've been using the Rejuvenator & Mega-Tek for a month and I can tell my hair is growing. For the next month I will switch over to the OCT pack.

JustKiya listed the ingredients for all of the products & how they work. Let me find it for you.

 

[Jetblackhair]

Ok, here are the ingredients Justkiya posted. As for me, I also wanted to try the OCT pack. I'm still going to use Mega-Tek. I don't think you can go wrong using it, just be consistent.

Ovation:
Quote:
Deionized Water, Stearalkonium Chloride, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, DM DM Hydantoin, Methlparaben, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Frangrance
Rejuvenator:
Quote:
Deionized Water, Stearalkonium Chloride, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydrolized Keratin, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, DM DM Hydantoin, Methlparaben, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Frangrance.

Mega-Tek Rebuilder:
Quote:
Deionized water, hydrolyzed keratin protein (HU), stearalkonium chloride, glyceryl stearate, peg 100 stearate (DI), marine protein (DI), peg 40 (no castor oil), panthenol, dimethicone copolyol (the one cone), magnesium citrate (DI), allantoin (DI), amino acids (DI), methylparaben, mucopolysaccharides (DI), polyparaben, imidazolidinyl urea (DI), fragrance
DI = Different ingredient
HU = Higher up on the list

The Ovation and the Rejuvenator are identical, as far as the ingredients and the order they are in.

The Rebuilder, though, has MORE hydrolyzed keratin protein, and it has marine protein and amino acids, which neither of the others have, along with a few other 'different' ingredients.

I dunno - I think the rebuilder might be the best bet....

Sorry for all the questions and thank you for helping me out with the info...what's the rejuvenator (Is that an OCT product) ...I see there are a few people in the thread that are using both the OCT and the Mega-Tek which is surprising.
Thank you!!!


ETA: I see I ordered the rebuilder....I thought the product I was ordering was identical to the OCT product...I should have done a little more research.
