Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[belleama]

I got my wash and set done yesterday and it came out BEATIFULLY!!

Sadly I didn't take pics. I'm going to do that next week after my relaxer but my hair looks like it has grown a little past APL in the back.

Its kindof weird now all of my hair is dark except for maybe an inch on the ends. I'm a little sad about that and confused. I'm not losing hair. Its not breaking. Its not getting shorter. Its definately getting longer. So I'm confused why I only have an inch of color left. In my November pics you can very clearly see lots of blonde. Not anymore.

I am so tempted to dye it again since the auburn looks really good on me. My greys are MIA too though so this is all still very good news.

I can't wait to get my relaxer next week.

Okay I started using MT 2 weeks ago and I have not had any excessive shedding. I believe it's because I've been washing and conditioning with my Nutrine garlic poo and con and treating/DC-ing with Alter Ego garlic treatment. I haven't used the AE garlic treatment for a week though. My hair is doing very well so far.

I will give it another 2 weeks and watch my hair very closely. I have not yet put the MT on the length of my hair and I might never do so but I'm not sure yet. I use henna every 2-4 weeks so I may not need to put the MT on the entire length of my hair.

Oh and I think I'm gonna tweak my MT mix. I'll replace the almond oil with aloe vera oil for now - by the way, thanks for the idea AtlantaJJ. I will def keep the grapeseed oil in the mix until I finish it up. I have a lot of oils, so it's gonna take me a while to go through all of them. I am using the very last pic in my siggy as my starting point for my Mega Tek growth progress.

I just applied mt for the second time and will rinse it out when I am getting ready for work.

I'm going to get a garlic conditioner too.

I think i'm really liking this OCT. i've only been using it for a week and a half and already there are curls coming in under my straight hair and it is noticeably thicker and i believe darker. I will post some real progress pics on my 1 month anniversary (6/14/08)

 

[Key]

Okay Ladies,

I have been holding off starting my Ovation sham, ct, and rinse till my shedding calmed down a bit first now thanks to Aggie, Bbomshell and AtlantaJJ 's advice, is has calmed down so I tried it. My hair came out noticeably thicker even though I already had thick hair. Maybe the better word is poofier . Is that a word?. Anyway this is my regimen, please tell me if or what I should tweek.

2x's a week:
I use the Garlic oil on my scalp
followed by the Garlic shampoo
then the Color therapy shampoo, Cell therapy, and creme rinse
Then condition with Suave humectant.
After that I put some Ct on my scalp with my finger as if I was greasing it and some NTM leave in on my hair.

I plan on ordering some honeyquat and saa soon for a hair spritz as soon as I get some money again. So tell me if I should change anything, I'd surely appreciate it.

I'm still seeing very little breakage and my NG is very soft and THICK!!!

What does your new growth look like? I've only used it twice so far and it's making my new growth curl into itself with really tight kinky curls that hurt to detangle. Surge use to do this to me and it was the reason I stopped using it.

How do you manage the curls? The NG that I already had (and was straight before usin MT) is now all curled up and very kinky. I'm afraid it will start to knot up.

This is great Key. Make sure to dilute the garlic poo with some distilled water before applying to your scalp as it can be a little drying to the hair. Do not shampoo your hair with it, just your scalp, okay?

Also, here is my washing routine for the MT:

pre-poo with oil
shampoo with MT poo and creme rinse
shampoo with garlic poo and conditioner
deep condition

Well my NG is just thick and massive...it's hard to describe. It's not curling onto itself but the roots are extra puffy.

 

[jamaicalovely]

Considering buying OCT and joining challenge. But I think it will be difficult for me since I'm in weaves all the time.

Definitely can't do the daily thing.

Your thoughts?

 

[ayoung]

^^^^U can still join in a weave. Dontspeakdefeat does it and i will be soon.
U can apply the Cell Therapy every other day or so if daily is too much.

 

[GrowmeNOW]

You can add me to the challenge. I started using MT last week. I used it straight twice on my scalp last week. I plan to add a day each week until I'm using it every day. All of my oils are packed up in boxes, so now I'm using a mix of 2/3 MT and 1/3 conditioner. The amount I have should last me two weeks. I'm going to make a garlic rinse sometime before my next wash.

Hi Add me too please! I ordered my Ovation last week and applied it for the first time today. Here's my starting picture, taken just minutes after applying OT to my scalp and length:

(my ends aren't as thin as they appear, I just didn't comb through it very well since I'm going to rinse this stuff out and use a moisturizing DC )

I won't bother with a June update since I'm just starting, but will check in, in Sept

ETA: I am 12 weeks post, so about 2 inches of NG atm. My hair feels longer than it did about a month ago, so I'm guessing top of BSL is my actual starting point.

 

[devans005]

Added me to the group too. I order Mega Tek Rebuilder. It should be here for me to start June 1st.

I know that we were kinda with Stagecoach West over ganking up the price of the MT - but they have the 16 oz. Premier Rinse (the horsey version of the Cream Rinse) for 8.99 - which is craaaazzzzzyyyyy cheap.

Just in case anyone else is on the 'Buy Nothing' challenges and wanted to stock up, too.

*goes to place her order before they end up out of stock*

Don't they charge a handling fee and shipping?

I orderd 22 pounds worth of stuff (stocking up! don't ask ) and shipping total was only 13 bucks. *shrug* not bad, at all, to me, and definitely cheaper than the 'official' Eqyss site, and cheaper than Acarta.

What the heck did you buy? perplexed

Sorry its the PJ in me asking.

 

[nomadpixi]

Hi there,
I guess I'm going to join the challenge too.

I'd like to also give a nod to Arcatapet.com for ladies living overseas having issues with a supplier. I ordered mt MT last thursday on the slowboat shipping (a girl's gotta eat). It's at my front door today! That's only 5 days ya'll! They've got a pretty good selection too and let you know how many units are left before they are sold out.

This new growth is insane. Is anyone relaxing sooner just to balance out this kink? Thank you so much for this product. My short patch is filling in nicely

 

[tt8]

Ummm, if you like me, you better hide them products in the back of that cabinet before your man comes home) Cause he accidentally saw the last ones I bought...

I am using the complete system in the mornings now. Does anyone find that the cell therapy warms their scalp? It does for me

 

[MissRissa]

Is this ok to use on the babies? my 7 year old has type 2 something hair and its really really thin/fine. In addition her daddy rips her hair out everytime he brushes it even though i have instructed him many many many times how to comb her hair. I don't want it for length, just for thickening.

I haven't noticed but I'm gonna pay more attention now to see.

 

[Mz DEE DEE]

Ive been using MT for close to a month now and ive gotten no length or thickness but tons of shedding. Im wondering if i got a bad batch or something.

I see all you ladies here getting all these great results and im wodering what im doing wrong.

I simply apply it to my dry scalp daily and nothing else.

 

[gymfreak336]

The heat tends to kick in after like 2minutes. It did it again today. I left it on for 3 minutes and I started to feel that warming sensation again after 2 minutes.

People experience different things withMega-Tek Rebuilder & Ovation Cell Therapy. I am sure your hair is growing; when I use Cell Therapy, my new growth comes out smoother than normal whereas others, it's thick and strong. Maybe that is the case for you.

Let's see what the other ladies say, but I always use my product when I am washing, so my scalp is always wet when I apply.
