Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[CocoBunny]

Hi Mz Dee Dee... First here's a great big hug

Don't worry about your hair shedding, it's a normal process for many reasons, especially when we 'change' our hair care regime. It's happened to me before.

Let's stop the shedding, okay? How? With GARLIC! It WORKS!

First you have to smile and not worry about your hair anymore, okay?

Here is my homemade recipe which really works.

All you need is Garlic POWDER (not the salted kind, but the plain powder) and CASTOR OIL.

(Olive Oil and Garlic is a wonderful combination and Smells Yummie but Castor Oil makes hair GROW!)

RECIPE:

Mix 2 heaping tablespoons of Garlic Powder with 2-3 ounces of Castor Oil. (loose paste texture) Stir well and then gently rub it into your scalp.

The granules of the Garlic powder are excellent for massaging your scalp. It will feel gritty, but you will feel like you've had a wonderful scalp massage.

Gently smooth the mixture in your hair (grit and all); put on a plastic cap; then wrap your head with a towel over the cap and relax or read the forum for at least an hour.

Gently wash your hair with a gentle shampoo or do a conditioner wash. The granules will rinse out easily and the conditoner will remove any trace of the garlic scent.

Do this about 3 times a week and you will have less and less shedding. It really works.

Garlic Hair Care Products:

I also have Nutrine Garlic shampoo and the Nutrine Garlic creme conditioner (comes in a jar) which I use once a week. And the Alter Ego Garlic Treatment (this smells very nice ).

Note: Sick Bay (www.sickbay.biz) sells the Alter Ego ($5 less) but it's often out of stock. So I purchased it from Amazon with the Nutrine garlic hair care line.

Process:

Once the shedding stops, resume the Mega Tek or the OCT a little at a time and see if the shedding has ceased. You should be okay.

Still do a Gentle Garlic/Castor Oil scalp massage at least twice a week, whether you use Mega Tek or Ovation or not.

Garlic just protects the hair, period. And Castor Oil is hair growth guaranteed, it's just not as fast as Mega Tek or Ovation. But the Garlic/Castor Oil is an excellent Hair Care Regime to keep on hand just for maintanence to stop shedding.

Here's Aggie's (our member) Recipe and it's also EXCELLENT!

From Aggie's Post: Thanks Aggie



Okay Angels, I hope these garlic regimes help. Just find your preferred way to use it and GROW that hair of yours down to the ground.

Happy Hair Growth.... Don't let shedding stop you in your tracks; fight back with Garlic. It really and truly works! It really does.

Love,

Shimmie.... :blowkiss:

Thank you for posting the receipe. It GREATLY reduced my shedding the first time I used it. The garlic granules did take a bit of effort to wash out and the smell is kind of lingering, BUT it stopped the shedding and that the important thing. Thank you again!

Ok ladies, I tried to go thru the post but its 253 pages...I would like to join and I'm ordering today, but I have a few questions. I am transitioning (9months) and I get my hair flat ironed every 2 weeks. I would like to use the CT only. Will this cause my hair to revert if I put it on my scalp nightly. I perfer not to wash daily because I cannot deal with the two textures very well. Please advise. erplexedThanks!

If you are natural and straighten your hair and you use the CT, it will revert depending on how much you use, by the way, I don't wash daily. I did at one time, but I don't anymore. I don't want to manipulate my hair too much anymore so I'm sticking to maybe 1 weekly co-wash and 2 weekly deep conditioning treatments and that's it for me, oh and I am not transitioning but I do stretch my relaxers.

See this AA women talk about Ovation!

I have told 3 of my cousin's about this. the one that's hardest to please bought it first, I talked to her this morning and she couldn't even describe well how much she loved the stuff and how it has changed her hair. She told her 2 sisters and 1 sister told her daughter who has thin hair in her crown. the daughter told her stylist about it and the stylist told her it wasn't a good idea that because of this could get expensive and she should just take HAIR VITAMINS

Why are the hairstylists the ones who are always hating on something good, new and different that comes out for our hair? They should encourage a good thing, and that way we could trust them more.

 

[Aggie]

Well yawl know I can't wait to finish using my MT so I can move onto my OCT. I do love MT though.

Oh and I want to get a hair cut, don't know why, I am suddenly wanting a change, that's really wierd. Hmm, I think I have to get a short pixie wig and see if that decreases this crazy urge or just cornrow my hair to keep me from messin' with it. I mean, have you guys seen daepae's hair? It's short and beautiful.

 

[AngieB]

Could it be because it would take away from their $$$$ if they actually told people doing it on your own and using these products actually work. I have only been here for a few months..but my hair is healthier than ever..and its actually growing to lengths I have never seen before. Been stuck at SL forever and then got some braids which damaged my hair terribly. Things are looking up..my hair is growing down...All is well in my world..Hoping for BSL by August...ladies..keep your fingers crossed for me.
Thank you.

I'm so mad about that right now. This girl is a lawyer and so his her husband, they have no kids so she can afford to spend $100 on her head for products at home. I'm sure she pays the stylist that much to apply perm and make more hair come out. I told my cousin about all the products, she researched and got to ordering now she's in love with Ovation and i'm telling you, this woman is extremely hard to please and impress. I told her mine was thinning at the top and my last touch up I just left that area alone (2nd) time and still put my cell therapy up there and it has totally thickened up and has almost 2 full inches of growth from 3 strands. Now my younger cousin is going through this and she wants to repeat some crap somebody it telling her. All I can do is wait until she sees me again and see my hair, i'm sure she'll get it then.

How long are you guys stretching for? It feels like Im 3 months post.

I posted in the pic update thread and I got an inch!!! I started using MT at the end of April. I am def sticking with this!!! Q

 

[Dogmd]

Okay I've been using mega tek on my scalp for less than a week. More like five days. I got my OCT later in the week and I'm stoked. I'm thinking of mixing them together. Don't laugh, but I have a miniature dauschund who is practically bald on both sides of her head. It's like two bald spots the size of quarters by each ear. My parents call my dog, lovingly, baldy. I put it on her too! See I bought the regular pet, not equine one in the 2 oz container by accident (Emailed the company and they told me it was safe to use on humans as well!)... Well her bald spots are gone. And as for me, I am growing hair too. I really think I got almost half an inch, but I have to wait until I press because I am natural. I was going to press and then start taking pics, so sadly I won't be able to document my before and after. I'll have to press, take pics, and then start documenting from there. However, I stretched out my hair, and I know I was at top of brastrap, just grazing, and now I'm a half an inch lower than that. I am also eating well, so maybe that's it too. I don't want to get too excited because maybe some is shrinkage. BUT I know this stuff works because I've seen it with my dog (don't laugh people! It says man and beast so I tested it out. And don't laugh at my dog! ) I'm really excited about this stuff.The pet one says it grows hair faster than the equine and the human, so I'm glad I got that one. The other's say 30 percent faster, that one said 50 percent. When I read reviews, they say it really grows even faster, but I understand the company understating a product, than over. In my dog's case: Her hair has NEVER grown there. NEVER. She is three years old and my veternarian said she would always be bald there. So it grew hair 100 percent, because there was no 20-30-40-50 percent faster. Hair just did not grow there ever. Excuse the piece of paper in her way. I was flipping through a magazine when I took this picture and that page got in the way. Here's Cookie's picture without the bald spot! Go mega tek! Okay, so it's a pic of my dog, but I'm just too excited about this product.

Go Cookie.. i am impressed!!

I have been using this whole system since the 24th of May or so.

I can't say I have growth yet but my hair is behaving so well. I have been using the whole system daily and just letting my hair air-dry in a bun but last night I decided to rollerset it. Well this morning, I was meeting my friend Brian for breakfast and the first thing he said to me was "Dang D, you hair is THICK". >Insert White Girl Hair Toss<
He is a barber so he ran his hands through it and commented on the softness of my hair. He said my ends even look good which made me feel great since I had him help me dust a couple of times these past few months. I had planned on having him trim up a little bit of it but he doesn't think I need a trim just yet. He is going to help me to a S&D later on but I don't think we are going to really find anything major for once

My hair is alot stronger, I have a ton of movement and body and the natural sheen is amazing. The texture just looks and feels different. Whats even better is that with my long running history of scalp problems, I haven't gotten any itchies since I started doing this. The daily washing combined with the gentle nourishing shampoo has seemed to heal my scalp.

Congrats Q! Are you having any shedding? What are you doing not to shed? I'm calling you this weekend. I have blonde moments. I'm so sorry!.

Yea gym! I'm so happy for you. I know we are all getting something different out of this system. My sides grow like snails but they seem to be coming in better than normal. Are you dealing with any shedding? I really want my hair to get thicker as well. Are you applying it on the scalp only?

I TOLD YA!!!! Congratulations Gymfreak! I knew the OVATION System would work for you!!!!!

I get a little shedding but using the alter ego garlic conditioner or some garlic oil that I buy from the cooking section of TJmaxx as a hot oil treatment works very well.

I concentrate the cell therapy on my scalp. I have a nozzle tip on it so it makes application easier. After I shampoo, I apply it, massage it in for a couple of minutes and then rinse it out and proceed with whatever OR I wash, deep condition and then apply it to my wet scalp and bun it up. Since I roller sat my hair last night, I will probably apply it to my scalp once a day for the next 3 days until I wash it again. Then I am going back to the daily wet bun.

 

[gymfreak336]

This stuff really is amazing. Even if my hair didn't gain any extra growth, I could use the system just for the strengthening and texture benefits alone.

 

[Aggie]

Girl you better slap that wig on and keep it moving.

Thanks honey, way ta keep me straight.

ETA: By the way GymFreak, glad you are getting the thick results from the OCT. Keep it up and the length will come.

I posted this same sentiment about Ovation throughout this thread. Isn't it amazin? So worth it to me. I have started to budget my finances to include the Maximizing System so I will never be without it.

I have sets everywhere; over my SO's, my house (2), my office (in case I use the office gym and want to wash my hair after working out).

I recently bought a sample kit for my 93 yr. old aunt, who has thinning hair issues. I have the MegaTek Rebuilder and Premier Rinse, I use it and it's good, but nothing compares to the Ovation System. It's that good.

 

[Aquafina]

Hey Gymfreak, what a great testimony. I think I may order the system although I'm still waiting on my shippment of megatek.

Because of reviews like this one and a few pics I've seen, I am glad I made the choice to use my MT first and finish off with my OCT. I sure hope this works for me as well as it has for all of you. I have at least another 6 weeks on my MT before moving on to my OCT though. Can't wait.

Hey Aggie! :blowkiss:
Girl, let me tell ya... your hair will love you for it! I dunno.. You may want to just go 'head and use the OCT. Don't wait.
I keep the MT for back up in case my Ovation runs low...

 

[MrsQueeny]

Girl that MT is my new baby daddy. My hair grew an inch in 1 month and it is super strong. I braided it last night and the strands have my fingertips feeling a little numb. It's really weird. Anyway, I am going to use this stuff for life!!!! Q

 

[AngieB]

Bad info...sorry

Hmmm, this is a great idea too, afterall I do want to get to MBL by 11:59pm September 30th 2009 just in time for my B-Day a week later.

 

[Aggie]

Ladies, I could swear I paid $150 or so for my last system. I went to check on ordering another set and look at this:


HAIR MAXIMIZING SYSTEM
12 oz. bottles - #22612
All 3 products as 1 complete system. 1 - 12 ounce bottle of each: Ovation Cell Therapy, Color Therapy Shampoo & Creme Rinse.
Creates Visibly Thicker, Longer, Stronger Hair Enhance Natural Color Hair Experience Luxurious, Touchable Hair

Only $96.49
Unless I am mistaken, this is a great deal.

This is how much I paid too and with our forum 10% discount including shipping, my order came up to $98.04.`

 

[AngieB]

Ok thanks. My mind must be going. I thought it was much more the first time...Thanks...

Thanks Aggie! I'm going to try putting a little on my scalp at nigh and see how it works out. Do you mind sharing your regiment? Thanks
