Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[Aggie]

Wow. I don't even USE shampoo (and I'm cheap), and you have me wanting to go and get the whole line.

That's an EXCELLENT point!!!!! Very, very, VERY good point - I wholeheartedly agree.



Dammit!

What's the matter Kiya, trying to talk yourself into or out of getting the poo? Now that I've heard all these great reviews, Ima have ta go get me the whole line now too. Daggonit! You guys suck!!!

"pulling credit card out of wallet and searching for the ovation website and mutters profusely under breath - @#$&^%&!!!"

 

[curlcomplexity]

O.K....Soo, it's almost midnight and what am I doing? I'm greasing my scalp w/ MT...have I gone too far?

 

[Nice & Wavy]

I've been reading many of the recent posts.

This is what I've been trying to say all along for the users of Ovation line
You get the best results from using the "System;" not just the Cell Therapy alone. Why?

1. The shampoo prepares the scalp and hair for maximum absorption of the Cell Therapy.
2. The Cell Therapy is the product that strenghthens the hair
3. The Creme Rinse smooths and moisturizes, balancing the protein in the Cell Therapy and allowing easy combouts, i.e. less breakage

It's all balanced for you. You shouldn't have to add oils and SAAs or anything else. That is another reason why it is more expensive than the equine products, they take the guesswork out of the equation.

BINGO!!! That's why I took your advise and began to use the shampoo and the cell rinse yesterday....today, my hair is in better condition than the day before. I don't add anything to OCT...straight, no chaser

I used the OCT on my scalp only and not on the length of my hair. I used a little of the HE LTR leave in and did some twists. My hair is soft and feels wonderful.

Now that its going on 2 months of using it...I got my regi down.

Thanks, JanuaryNoir for continuing to suggest to use the shampoo and the cell rinse. I had it, used it maybe twice in the beginning, and then left it alone. Although my hair was doing great, it's much better now since I began using the whole line.

I just ordered some OTC 10 minutes ago. I decided to give that a try since I'm about to run out of M-T.

I guess I have to hurry up and finish my conditioners and poos so I can buy the other stuff .

Wow...you used up a whole bottle of MT? I'm still on my first bottle from over a year ago

So, how has your hair changed since using the MT? I know that the OCT feels better on my scalp then the MT, but I think they work about the same. The MT makes my scalp itch more than the OCT too.

I don't know how one bottle last yall forever. I had an 8 oz bottle and it basically lasting 6 weeks. I part my hair and put it on my scalp 3 to 4 times a week. I also add some to my ends. I have gotten a little more growth than usual but nothing extravagant yet. My hair was breaking a lot. I just couldn't maintain length because I kept on having to cut thin ends. My breakage are down sooooooooooo much. I did get the shedding everyone was talking about but that only last a day or two. I think it was due to protein overload. I'm cutting down adding the M-T to my hair length only the night before washing which is twice a week.

Girl, I have a 16oz bottle that's why. I didn't even know they sell 8oz of MT!

I learned early on not to put MT on my ends....and that helped. But, we are all learning what works, right?

I'm glad that your shedding stopped. Have you gotten any thickness from using it?

The shedding wasn't even that much compare to how much my hair use to break before. My hair feel noticeably thicker, even after a wash! That's another plus. Length retention and full hair mean way more to me than faster growth rate so I'm loving this (of course I'm hoping I'll get faster growth with the OTC )

That's awesome!!! That's what I was saying after using this for a little while...that the thickness of my hair is what made me happy...I wasn't really even looking for the growth..just thickness. Now, the length is kicking in big time and I'm super-uber happy!

You've seen my hair up close...so you know what it looks like curly and the shrinkage I had was awful. Since I've been using this product, my hair has stretched...my curls are more elongated than before and i'm loving it because to me, that shows that my hair has grown incredibly within the last two months.

Boy am I glad that I started this back in March...I know that by the time I go to Jamaica in July, my hair will be armpit length, or more

 

[**WonderWoman**]

How do you plan on using it?

1. Use an applicator bottle to put OCT on my scalp daily.

2. Only put OCT (+ hot coconut oil) on my hair 3 times a week. I'll be careful not to leave it on my hair for too long. Follow up with a moisturizing DC.

3. I'm ridding myself of all other proteins. I only use moisturizing products now.

4. I have to up my DCing to 2-3 times a week. If there's one thing I've learned from the breakage and dry, brittle hair I battled for ONE FREAKING YEAR, it's that My hair really HATES protein.

 

[**WonderWoman**]

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!!!

Here ya go!

Deionized Water, Behemtrimonium Methosulfate*, Cetearyl Alcohol**, Cetyl Alcohol**, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydroxyethycellose, C13-C14 Isoparaffin, Cyclomethicone, Propoxytetramethyl Piperidinyl Dimethicone, Trideceth-3, Trideceth-6, Dimethicone, Aloe Vera Gel, Propyparaben, DMDM Hydantion, Fragrance.

Hey WonderWoman, maybe you should join our Deep Conditioning challenge seeing that you're doing it already anyway. Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=227159

Many of the ladies using the OCT/MEGA-TEK combos have already joined. Come to think of it I have to go update the names now.

I have itchies
Im not going to scratch them

 

[JustKiya]

I think the no cones claim is SOLELY for the Equine/Pet products. The human products, on the other hand, are fulla cones!

Ms. RZILYNT - here is your comparison pic!

If you click it, it gets a little bigger, I think.

You're ends have filled out SO nicely - and you had a trim, too?? And your whole length looks a little thicker, too....

Thanks so much for this overview. I've been following your posts about the Ovation system from board to board and would like
to ask you a few questions.

1. I noticed you indicated you diluted the poo. What is/was your reason(s) for deciding to do this?

2. What was your experience with the poo prior to dilution?

3. Do you think diluting the poo lessens the effectiveness of the system?

4. I also noticed as part of your regimen you use the Cell Therapy and Creme Rinse on days that you do not poo. Are you treating that
process like a cw and if so what are the differences you have experienced with this approach as opposed to using the poo each wash?

5. What were the immediate and noticeable results from using the system? I don't remember if you DC with the product nor how long if
you do, but I remember you have advocated using the system at least 190 days at a minimum before assessing it's effectiveness.

6. Finally, cieramichele and JustKiya discussed the inclusion of cones in these products this morning. I have read many, many posts about
problems using cones (I have no cones in any products I currently use) so I am curious about your perspective on this matter.

If I have omitted anything which would be helpful to myself and others in light of your experiences, please add to my inquiry. My products
shipped today and your feedback is invaluable.

TIA

Oh wow, what will you do to keep up with your hair care reggie? Protective styles maybe?

ETA: I'm going to Canada this summer and I'm taking my stuff with me to keep my hair reggie up. I don't know if I can find my hair care products there and I'm very particular with what I put in my hair. Can't take any chances you know.

 

[LaNecia]

Good luck ladies! The OCT sounds very interesting indeed, love the progress I'm seeing with you ladies. As for me, I'm dancing with the one who brought me, Mega-tek has been a staple in my regimen for the past 4 years or so.

Not joining the challenge but will be lurking to see the purty heads out there!

ETA: Ok, I couldn't help myself...refreshed my supply of Mega-tek, bought the Creme Rinse (why have I slept on that one all these years?!!)

I'm in!
