Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

I know I am 1000 post late but what is everyone purchasing mostly? Why?

I am sorry for being lazy. I dont wanna read a billion post.

I dont like to spend alot of money on products so I wanna get the right one. The Pjism hasnt attacked me yet.

I must ask, has anyone had bad reactions from any of these products?

None whatsoever. The worst maybe a lil dryness.

The MegaTek Rebuilder creates more dryness than the rejuvenator. The rejuvenator is more moisturising. With the rebuilder I had to add castor oil, and when I did no more problems.

Once the rejuvenator is done I'm either going to be solely Rebuilder with added castor oil or OCT..depending on what customer services say about the protein content.

My scalp feels very healthy no flakes, clogged pores or anything and no product buildup and I use this daily 7 times before hair wash and NO product scum under the nails when I scratch.

When using M.Nitrate it worked but the mineral oil was causing build up and I got a very sore scalp from using it.

Shedding. But that is not unususal for me when I have a growth spurt. I ran my hand through my hair one day, and there was a clump of hair all tangled up that I pulled out. I style my hair every day, so it had accumulated that day. It happened that one time and not again since. The same thing happened, but much worse, when I started MN.

Also, I was working with a client yesterday and I noticed a few of my shed hairs (like 3 or 4) on the table. Hadn't been combing my hair or anything, but there they were in scattered places on the table.

Post #1 lists what each person is using. Both products are essentially the same and people are getting good results from both. OCT is much more expensive of the two but made specifically for humans.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Here are the ingredients. Three products. Three formulations. All supposedly do the same thing. I wonder if the parent company has a secret active ingredient not listed on any of these...

It might, no, it will be worth your while taking some time out to skim through the thread and read what people are using. Luckily I caught this thread at 300+ posts and skimmed through it and found it to be worth my while. In your settings maximise it so you show the full 40 posts per page so you have less pages to skim through. All in all there are 32 pages of this thread on mine so will cut down on the time you are flipping online pages.

Granted there are is a definite spilt on who is using what but aside from the 1st page with TT8 monitoring challengers and what they are using no one is keeping a tight check and count on who is using what, and with a thread this big no one is going to know for sure. As much as you may not want to read through 1000 posts I'm sure folks don't want to provide all of the answers in order for you to make an informed decision.

There is no right or wrong product, they both work, it's a matter in terms of preference. What you can afford, your global location in terms of availability of the product etc.. This thread has a wealth of information as well as picture and written testimonials.

So as you put it, don't be lazy and at least skim through the thread. Cause then what happens is a person buys the product then comes back asking how do they use it...it's all in the thread. And you can use it a number of ways. If you're going to spend $30-$60 on a growth aid, then I'd advise investing in the time to research that product and the reviews.

I really think its the mucopoly-saccharides that are really doing the work. Remember surge, this was their main ingredient. I think the amino acids in conjuction with mucopolysaccharides is what is lighting the growth fire to our scalps.


Mucopolysaccharide is found in connective tissue, skin, bone and cartilage together with proteins from the intercellular cells where collagen and elastin are embedded.

Mucopolysaccharides are substances which form highly viscous solutions having more or less gelatinous or slippery and partially sticky properties. They apparently act as intercellular lubricants.

Mucopolysaccharides also play an important part of normal cell function in intercellular substance transportation in fibrillogenesis and the stabilization of cellular and fibrillar constituents of the connection tissue.

Indications are available showing that mucopolysaccharides influence the quality of the kind of collagen fibril aggregation and that they determine the diameter of the collagen fiber bundle.

Wound healing process involves mucopolysaccharides. During skin and wound healing, their content in the wound area is considerably higher in order to reach again the standard value after healing.

Mucopolysaccharides are said to have a positive influence on skin modification in cellulites and responsible for the elasticity, resilience and the strength of the skin. The dermal mucopolysaccharide content decreases with advancing age; therefore, by replenishment, it would be reasonable to think that the skin would remain stronger and softer longer.

I agree with this totally, that's why I'm getting the Avocado Mist and the coat rebuilder because the Mucopolysaccharides combined with the other ingredients that the other products have in common is a sure winner!!

Yup, that's a cone. It's the only truly water soluable cone though, so I give them a pass, on that.

And wow, the Coat Rebuilder has a lot more protein! I don't think my hair could handle that much - it's handling the daily MegaT Cell gracefully, but I don't think I can use ANY other protein product with it.....

 

[LondonDiva]

Can I suggest with the other products like mist, shampoo and rinses of the Eqyss range to e-mail the company prior and ask can you purchase or them send you a sample. I've done this before and you're a$$ out if you purchase 12oz of something that doesn't agree with your hair.

The link is on my post #1270
No nothing yet, I think they are having a boardroom meeting trying to figure out how best to answer my question. As soon as they hit me up I'm posting it here. There'll be no delays in you guys seeing the response. As soon as I get it on the Blackberry I'll log onto the from there and post it even if I'm not online.

I'm going to start a thread for NON growth related Eqyss products to keep them seperate from this thread.

NON-GROWTH Eqyss products thread

[MissLawyerLady]

Is anyone else having "big hair" from using MT? This stuff wants to all over my head!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know, I had accidentally ordered the regular megatek for animals not equine. It shows what the click of a computer can do when it's late at night and you think you know what you're doing, but are impatient. Anyways, in review, I ordered the coat rebuilder. Anyways I freaked out, after putting it on my head and looking at the bottle. I feel so much better now because I contacted the company via email and this was their response:

Thank you for your recent purchase.

Yes, all our products are safe for human use.




EQyss - Fit for Man or Beast

We are so confident that you will see a difference that we offer a 100% money back guarantee.

Is anyone else having "big hair" from using MT? This stuff wants to all over my head!

I am also having big hair. My hair is as dense as a forest now since using OCT and MT and it feels great! I just love touching it

 

[mnemosyne]

My hair has a long way to go before it can ever be considered big. Except on the oil massage/detangling days.

I have some updated pictures that I keep forgetting to post on my fotki of my wet progress. Though this week now that I have more new growth it's like my hair appears to have shrunk.

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

ok, i know i'm late as dirt, but i want in!

I ordered my mega-tek about 3 or 4 weeks ago when I first started reading this thread... and forgot about it (until it arrived today! I dont know what took their shipping so long! So... i would have joined sooner, but my package was delayed)

So now that I have it, i'm going to be using it and decided to join in on this challenge. I'm going to take starting pictures tonight or tomorrow.

I think I want to try the OCT too, but will wait at least a month (to see how MT works.... if the ingredients are the same, then it shouldn't be a big difference, right?)

ok... i havent read this whole thread yet... so i'm off to go read! And then i'm going to put this stuff in my hair!!!

 

[cieramichele]

Mine better come fast :|
Im just down here in NC below them...
few states in between

 

[tnorenberg]

Not saying this at you MissAlyssa, but in general

The ingredients being listed comparing products between the Mega Tek and Ovation really isn't helping in determining which product is most effective. I understand though that being a 1000+ post thread some folks are going to miss it so that's understandable.

Granted from looking at the ingredients Mega Tek looks like the winner, but my question and what we need to find out to make more of an informed decision rather than ingredient posting and comparing is to find out the quantity per 12oz or however they sell it of the main growth ingredient, the hydrolyzed Keratin Protein each one contains.

Now whether it's a lie or fact to make up for the $60 for OCT compared to $20 odd for the MT, does the OCT really have double the amount of aminos than MT or is it literally the same packaged all fancy and an extra $30 to cover for the marketing of the product (as put to me by Greg).

I think as a ton of women have really lined the pockets of this company. Just think 10 orders for them alone is $600 and I know they've made thousands off us as have other companies purchasing Eqyss products. Don't you think that it will be a bigger boost for the Ovation big wigs to really lay it out there and provide some more info in the comparable ingredients. I'll tell them this much if they can prove there are double the aminos then I'll happily pay for the OCT and I'm alredy getting great results with the MT. But if this is a cost cover for a fancy website then I'm alright thanks.

Now ladies, I'm not trying to start a war with these companies, I'm glad we may have found our Holy Grail of hair products that smells good and does what it say on the bottle, to the point where PJ'ism may become a thing of the past but I'm at a point of 6+ years of getting knowledgeable about hair care to finally put my foot down keep my debit card in the purse as much as possible and say **leans over desk toward the OCT CEO clutching her Blackberry 8800g, ready to knock him out Naomi Campbell style and points** "alright mister you want $60 of my hard earned cash and repeat business until I'm able to have hair so long I can wash my butt with it, prove to me why I should choose your product over that one there!" **points to Mega Tek in the Hollywood style, lawyer in courtroom pointing at the accused**
Black hair care is a billion dollar industry, they need to remember that. And we're one forum of many I bet the BHM site is using this stuff too as well as the non-black forums too.

**LD looks at the silent crowd and steps of her golden soapbox with the help of a minder as she's wearing 5 inch Stuart Weitzmans in black patent leather and totters off into the sunset, hearing a faint applause from onlyTT8 shouting 'Ovacion Ovacion'. The other Ovation and Mega Tek Girls look bewildered and wonder if LD is taking this too far**

LD, I am so upset. I ordered 2 bottles of the MT Rejuvenator and paid that Greg guy $59.00 bucks. He had the nerve to short me!!! Is he on the up and up? because I'd better get my other bottle. I emailed him already so I am waiting for a response. My hubby was pretty upset to since I'm sure he was planning to claim a bottle for himself . I wanted you to know my experience and post it here in case anyone else is ordering from him. He'd better come clean.
