In my opinion, I have one of the slowest growing hairs around town, and no growth aids have ever worked for me so I do not believe in growth aid hypes - I still don't! I decided to give Mega-Tek a try because I had an old bottle from when and I was like, why not. I never posted any comment before because I believe in commenting with prove – pictures - and I was too lazy to take any. Anyway, I braided my hair on April 18th - exactly 2 weeks ago today (14 days!); the braider and I almost had a fight because she did it SO tight yet today when I took some pictures I had to share to validate whether my eyes are playing tricks on me (delusional - ha!) or this product might finally help me to APL sooner. I am still skeptical but…, in just 14 days, the slowest growing parts of my hair have MORE than .5" of grow - something I have NEVER ever received even in 1 whole month! I was lamenting just a couple weeks ago that my hair grows 4" per year! The back grows faster so I can’t even imagine what it measures. I don’t even know what to say because I have done nothing different except add the Mega-tek to my routine. I am anxious to see what the length of my hair will be in 2/09!

I hope the pictures are clear.., the second one is the back (it usually grows faster but the front and sides take forever! Sometimes I get only 3" from them per year!).

:wow: :bouncy: :wow: WONDERFUL, isn't it???? Cuz you know your braids have not slipped that much in just 2 weeks!!!

As a fellow sceptic, I so feel you - the only reason I took pictures from the get was so that I could tell for MYSELF if I was being delusional, or whether it was really doing something - and it is. I don't know how, I don't know what's up, and I hope that more and more people start taking pictures as proof because - it's the sure shot. It's fabulous. I have no DOUBT that I will be past shoulder length this YEAR, and before hand, I was thinking it was a stretch goal that I would even be AT shoulder by Dec 31st.
Esp. with Sareca's last bit of info that it seems like it builds upon the hair growth to continue to encourage your hair to grow faster - an INCH a month? And it smells good? AND it's not reallllllyyy all that expensive? :thud:
It's fabulous.

Exactly! I have had braids before, and I can compare my old 6-week old braids against this 2-weeks braids, and this length will be longer than the 6-week braid. Neither has anything to do with slippage of braids, no sirree!

Can anyone give the Ovation shampoo a thumbs up?

I'm using mega-tek & ovation line, just not te shampoo.

Hair hates SLS. Ovation says their color therapy shampoo has Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Is that just s harsh as regular SLS?

Currently using an ayurvedic shampoo bar, but it leaves a film on myy hair.

So far I have the Cell therapy, Coat rebuilder, Avocado Mist & Cloud V cream rinse.

I use the shampoo and I like it very much. I only do one wash every other day or sometimes everyday. It's supposed to "bring back" your natural color (minimizes grays as well). All I know is that my hair is shiny and smooth using the OVATION products (I use all three).

I am one week post relaxer today. I can't wait to see what happens in the next month. I am going for a full 12 week stretch.
 
Thanks. Guess I'll be pulling out the credit card again (smile)

LondonDiva, you haven't heard back from the OCT people yet? I was thinking we may need to start an email campaign. Have a whole bunch of us email them, nice letters telling them that we are responsible for their spike in sales and they could spike a little more with an incentive... Just a thought...

sorry for quoting you yet again!!! but i wanted to ask you (for clarification for me), are you just putting the megatek on your scalp? if so, how many times a week? thanks!!! (and congrats on your wonderful growth!)


(i tried searching for "scalp" in this thread for an answer- if megateck was applied to the scalp- but all i got was a white screen)
 
I use the megatek by itself at nights but if I apply it in the day, I mix it in any oil to minimise the white deposit to my scalp (wouldn't want to be walking on the street with scalp that looks flaky). I apply the product a min of 3 days per week but sometimes 7 days when I remember.

Deionized water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate **, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycol Distearate*, Steareth-4, Palmitamidopropyltrimonium Chloride**, Cocamide DEA**, Polyquaterium 10, Aloe Vera Gel, Sodium PCA, Acetamide MEA, Glycosaminoglycans, Extract of Lavendar, Extract of Clove, Extract of Thyme, Allantoin, PEG-75-Lanlolin, Urea, Citric Acid, Methylparaben, DM DM Hydantoin, Tetrasodium EDTA, Salt, FD&C Blue #1, Fragrance

Whew, didn't know that there were so many ingredients. :grin:
 
OH SWEET HOLY CRAP!!

I was going to Mega sage and felt all in the back, of my hair, so I've just come upstairs and put my glasses on and looked in the mirror (where I can see the back) and I think I may have done a full inch or close to in 1 month.

I'm really excited. I'm going to take pics in about an hour.

I really hope my camera can capture this, I don't want to think I'm seeing things at all.
I would do it now but it's the commercial break of the Friday Night Project and I love this over the top gay homo hosted show.

In an hour or so ladies.

Please pray it's an inch

Ok, so I found this online this morning.
http://www.epinions.com/review/Mega_Tek_Cell_Rebuilder/content_68431810180

Not sure if anyone has seen it, but it says that Mega-Tek was originally intended as a product for humans but was "amped" up in order to meet the needs of horses. This created a formula that accelerated hair growth in humans. So if Mega-Tek was originally intended for human use and later remarketed for horses, is it safe to assume that the OCT might be the original formula (before it was marketed for horses)? I am a little :perplexed....

LondonDiva, any word from the people at Ovation yet?

None whatsoever. :nono:

SWEET BABY JEEZMUS! I ordered the wrong one. I ordered Equine shampoo!

I'll send it back but I was curious. Can we use that?
Click to expand...

Ms Tatim, I just placed this same shampoo on order along with the Mega-Tek creme rinse and Avocado mist. I bought the MT rebuilder yesterday.

By the way, Carlee for OCT called me back today and I ordered the OCT with her this afternoon so I guess I am officially using both products as soon as they come in the mail. I'm so excited, I can't wait.

I asked Carlee, the VP of Sales, why the OCT products were so expensive...she said that the ingredients in their products are of superior quality and the prices had to be a little high in order to deliver superior results. I just found something online and printed it out for easy reference and here it is: http://www.valleyvet.com/Library/lib_24237_-Human Crossover_Benefits.pdf.

Now, on to reading some more OCT/MT success stories.

On the Eqyss website it says for humans or horses. So, you should be ok, if you choose to keep it. :yep:

This is a great reference sheet Aggie, thanks for posting!
 
Sure here are the ingredients:
Deionized Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 80, polyquaternium 10,allantoin, sodium pca, glycosaminoglycans, aloe barbadensis gel, clove extract, thyme extract, lavendar extract, DM DM Hydantoin, meth6ylparaben, tetrasodium EDTA, Citric acid, salt, fragrance.

I'm still not sure I can use this particular kind. It says Equine Shampoo Max strength. Stops scratches, rainrot, and girth itch. Da hell? I'll wait till one of ya'll analyze to see if I can keep.
 
It's so funny that when we realized this stuff worked so fast, the first response was disbelief...

BTW: My roots are a forest. :hair: I can't wait to get it straightened again in two weeks.

I just bought the creme rinse- can't wait to use it!

Ok, I didn't see that in the description...I'm with you :look:

Thanks for posting the ingredients.
 
My scalp is itching like crazy, my roots are full of puffy newgrowth four weeks after my relaxer and I couldn't be happier.


I love Ovation.


That is all. :grin:
 
I picked up the Avocado Mist and the Suviror Super Detangler Shine locally.

The ingredients in the Avocado Mist Reads differently than what we have seen online. My bottle has the following ingredients:

Deionized Water, Avocado extract, Aloe Vera, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Cetimonium Chloride, Prlysosrbate 20, Polysorbate 80, Panthenol, Propyene Glycol. DM Hydantion, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Citric Acid, Frangrence, Defoamer.

ETA: Polysorbate 20
New, nontoxic emulsifier, to dissolve your precious essential oils into water, without the use of alcohol. No, Polysorbate 20 (sometimes known as TWEEN20) is not an all natural product. But it is derived from Lauric Acid (from Coconut Oil) and is the best way I know to dissolve essential oils into distilled water without adding alcohol. Start by adding equal parts of your essential oil and Polysorbate 20, then slowly add distilled water. If the resulting spray is cloudy, rather than clear, you may need to add a slightly larger proportion of Polysorbate, perhaps as much as 3 parts to 1 part essential oil. Perfect for body sprays, room sprays, and linen sprays.


Polysorbate 80:
is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sorbitol which comes from fruit and berries. Polysorbate 80 is a highly viscose water-soluble yellowish liquid used as a dispersing agent -mixes oil and water, stabilizer and lubricates

I like that avocado extract and aloe vera are so high up on the list...
The important thing is: how do you like them? What do you think? Have you used them yet? (I'm a little hyper, if you can't tell!:lachen:)

I'm hyper too, how do you think I was able to type all that so fast. I almost stepped on the cat trying to get to the computer!! LOL

I don't have my Mega-Tek, nobody had it, I went two places :cry:
 
I just took these.

Had to resize in order to clearly see the NG as I didn't flat iron my hair this week, the NG is less coarse so harder to pick up on camera. Hopefully you can see it on these pics. My hair is unstretched and 1 month post relaxer.

I'm using Mega Tek Rebuilder & Rejuvenator
Applying it Daily
Washing & Deep conditioning once a week.
