Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

Not open for further replies.
Okay it's already got me sold. First, I never post at work. Just read. I initially washed my hair with the OCT stuff yesterday. Didn't do anything clipped it up and left the house. Well it was wild when I came back and I said hey I'm tired...I'll just do this in the morning. So I slathered in some Ojon restorative, vatika, amla (can you tell my products all got refilled this week...) LOL... this morning I washed it over again with all 3 OCT products and blowdried with FHI hot sauce and put in some Aveda Style Smoothing Fluid.....Flat ironed and WAHLA!


MY HAIR FEELS LIKE SILK!! I don't know about the growth yet as it's only been one day but my hair loves this stuff...don't know if it is truly just this...or this mixed with the oils...but It's bouncing and going all over th e place. I'm buying the big bottles and not leaving this at the salon...cuz I might have to kill my stylist if he uses it on anybody else's head.
 
I totally agree. I used all three products on Saturday and then again this morning..I love this stuff. Can't wait to see some inches.:grin:

I wonder if those who use the product daily and only wash once or twice a week will get different results than those who use it daily but wash more frequenlty. It would be an interesting test to make and a great way to find out the optimal way to use the Mega Tek... Just a thought....

I kept twists in for a week but applied OCT everyday. When I washed, it seemed like my hair sprouted out of my head! :blush:

I would hope that most of it is soaking into your scalp - so washing daily/weekly shouldn't make too much of a difference, I would think..... ??

:yep: That's one thing I noticed yesterday, when I was doing my hair - I fet like I hadn't had my hair in twists for a month or so - just based on how my hair felt 'different' (which usually equals longer and I didn't notice it, because I hadn't replicated that style for a while) - but I just put them in twists two weeks ago!

I'm trying to ignore my hair, as I feel a baaaaadddd case of hair anorexia coming up on me...... I took my two year comparison pics, and I think I'm going to stick to taking pics every other month, now. *twitch* *twitch*

Can any one ordering Mega-tek or ovation cell therapy order a bottle for me and ship to my address. I am in Canada and can't seem to find it. Of course I would cover the cost to ship it to me. Please let me know..I'm ready to jump on this band wagon.

There are some online Canadian vendors. Megatek goes for $21-28 USD, plus at least $10 shipping to get it to Canada. It might be cheaper (maybe not) to get it from a Canadian store. You can also try local pet stores.

The last website claims to be a wholesaler for Eqyss products in Canada, and will provide info on the closest retailer to you.

I just got on board OCT. But I have a problem ---- my hair HATES protein. How do you guys combat the tons of protein in this stuff. I just recovered from a protein overload & I don't want to go back. :nono:

Thank you, I ordered from one of the links you provided. There are no retailers for the Ovation products. I wonder if they ship to Canada on their site...I will go check that out...oh my tax refund is now spent and then some!

I'd suggest dropping anything else with protein, mixing the Cell Therapy with something a little more moisturising, and upping your moisture, overall.
 
Being the starter of this challenge I felt I should try the different products to get a feel on what everyone was using ( and praying I didn't open a can of worms for them) so I ordered the Mega-Tek and Avocado Mist. My hair is good with protein but I am trying to not to confuse little to normal shedding with protein overload. Have you experience any dryness with the MT jk? And that was the reason for your recipe? I'm just trying to figure it out. Expecially since I just tex-laxed texturized or whatever you want to call it. Thanks in advance for your input.

I haven't experienced any dryness, but I HAVE learned that I don't need ANY other protein treatments while I'm using this - I did my usual light protein treatment (yogurt & coconut milk) a couple of weeks ago, and my hair was definitely complaining a little about having too much protein on it - I could tell because the breakage that had virtually vanished, reappeared.
A mid-week moisture boost (just a lil conditioner on dry hair) and the hair was happy/breakage free again - but I know going forward, I don't need ANY other protein treatments. I'm actually a little nervous about doing my usual henna treatment, since it acts like a protein for me - I'll just have to do an extra DC or two afterwards and really baby my hair.

I started the mix to make the Mega-Tek better mimic the ingredients that were in the Ovation - extra amino acids (SAA), toperhyl acetate (vitamin E), and OCT has a castor oil derivative in it too. The Honeyquat I add to everything, to boost the moisture content a bit since I know how thirsty my hair is.

Since you are texalaxed, I would suspect that your hair MIGHT be able to handle a little more protein that it would if it was natural - but keep a close eye on it, and be ready to slap on a quick DC of your choice if it seems to be complaining.

:clap: excellent advice :clap: I am amping up my moisture because I haven't seen this much protein since back in my relaxer days... I don't want my hair to go to fussin...

ITA with JustKiya. Remember to deep condition with a very good moisturizing conditioner often, at least once or twice a week for at about 45 minutes each. I just started another deep conditioning challenge also, so everyone feel free to join it if you like. All are welcomed, natural, relaxed and texlaxed heads. Here's the link: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=227159

I think this advice on moisture is key to controlling the protein overload.

Darn, darn, darn...Now I guess I will have to try the OCT shampoo. I revisited the Eqyss Premier Color Enhancing Shampoo figuring they were comparable, right? :wallbash: Well it did not agree w/ my hair and left it a tangled mess. Maybe there is something to using the complete system.

I think so...my hair feels softer today than before:yep:

:lachen::lachen: I remember that one, I think they made fun off him on mto, lol anyway I found a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3KYB83laDI It's kinda long so fast forward to about 4 mins (I love his feminine finger/hand movements:look:)


Also, after seeing your results I was sold, I ordered my bottle of mega-tek yesterday. Hopefully, I'll have it by the end of the week:yep:
 
Thanks a bunch ladies. I spoke to an OCT rep and she advised that I watch my hair closely because it is possible to O.D. on the protein in OCT. She also said the Creme Rinse is supposed to combat the protein in OCT and to try leaving the Creme Rinse in for longer.

Oooh, REALLLY??? Hrrrm.

Would you mind posting the ingredients in your Cream Rinse??? Or, anyone who has ordered recently from Ovation? I'm starting to suspect that the online ingredient lists aren't always the most accurate/recent, and I want to compare the Ovation CR to the MegaTek CR.....

TIA!!!
 
I've been out her lurkin' and learnin' from you ladies on the forum, I've controlled that pj'ism but jumped on this
bandwagon...soft silky hair...hair that grows with the speed of light....:yep:

At any rate, I ordered the entire 12 oz OCT system this morning along with the super duper horse detangler, grabbed
some Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose condish and plan to toss most of this other stuff.

I'm excited and so very grateful to have just ONE system in the cabinet.

Thanks to everyone... now I'm back to reading and lurking. :grin:

Take Care
