Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[caribgirl]

I don't post too much... it's too hard to keep up! Seriously but I've been skimming thru and noticing a lot of progress for you ladies.

i just wanted to share my progress. I didn't take pix b/c they just don't look that great to me. But I started consistently using MT daily in July, early July. And it's been over a month now. I can actually pull my hair back into a ponytail! albeit kinda small, poofy, and sad looking, but hey I'll take it over nothing any day! My hair has seemed to grown the most in the middle of my head so my hair is growing out more, But with good conditioning and proper manipulation I can get it to lie down a bit- and it's just about chin length! I just wanted to share and hopefully inspire those newbies that are feeling discouraged. Consistency is key. I wasn't consistent when I started out with OCT back in March, but now that I BCed in June, I've been getting with the program!

Congrats!!!!

 

[caribgirl]

Wow............ this is beautiful hair and beautiful growth. Keep up the good work!

LOVELY! And it looks thicker, too!



I am.....



You don't have to have itchies to have growth, at all.....

Congratulations caribgirl.

Yup, I see the growth..good...you must be feeling great right about now! I know I would.

Wow, I'm impressed at your growth since your 07 pics.

Very inspirational.

Thank you`ladies very much!!!

Congrats!!!!! You're right consistency is key. I think that the front is growing an inch a month because its insane how I can pull it down to my chin now. I am very pleased with MT. I took a picture today and hopefully will have crazy long progress pictures in sept. Crazy thing is I hardly ever apply it in the front, just middle and sides.

Wow look at your growth its incredible thats a huge difference it took me a year to get from there to shoulder lenght and you did it in less then three months. what did you use Megatek?

Thanks! The back of my hair has made it to shoulder but my front is still short it is at the tip of my nose. I have been using MT and it has really made my hair thicker and stronger. I plan on using OCT as well to get more length.

 

[flowinlocks]

MT came 2day!!!!!,, I'm offically in!!!!. current length NL, goal SL by Dec. , APL by next summer!!!

Ooooh!! You've gotta tell me about camellia oil! What's it smell like? Look like? How thick is it? castor oil? Olive oil? That's sooooo going to be on my next herbal/raw supplies order!

In total agreement here - that's nothing to worry about, at all!!

Just saw your post, JustKiya, sorry for the delay. I'll try to explain the scent; camellia oil I have has a mild pure-smelling kind of smell to me-- I don't know if I explained that too well. It's not overwhelming, though (I hate when stuff smells too strong). It's not as thick as castor oil, more like emu oil, blends in like melted butta especially on my wet hair.

"For many centuries, camellia oil from Japan has been used for the care of nails, hair, scalp and combination skin. Easily absorbed and rich in plant collagen, it is ideal for helping to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy and improving skin elasticity over the whole body.

Hair care
Camellia oil supplies nutrients to the scalp and gently protects hair using natural ingredients that won't oxidize nor deteriorate. Supplies rich moisture and elasticity to hair, making hair soft and strong. For best results apply oil when the hair is damp."

My hair is still feeling like fine silk even 24 hours later and the bottle is so pretty!

[Valerie]

Definitely going down on my hair products list!

 

[belleza]

Your hair will grow with or without the itches. I don't have itchies now and it's still growing.

Thank you Shimmie for your help!

 

[belleza]

I don't get an itch. My head is on freakin FIRE LOL
I only get the itchies when I massage my scalp after applying MT. Have you been meggasaggin?

I don't have any itchies at all. Even when I massage. Maybe I need to use Ovation and MT.

I've been gone for awhile, the cost of living got me working like an indentured servant these days! But my cousin told me about MT and so I came lurking again! My hair has been doing well since I joined the forum, a few set backs here and there, but I get half an inch a month naturally.. Retaining it is the real problem I have because my hair is very dry. Just wanna see if that will go to a whole inch a month with the MT.

So I ordered MT last week, got it yesterday and put it on! My head is itching like crazy! Is it supposed to itch this bad? I even added olive oil and some emu to it! I'm still itching. If this is normal, then cool, if not, somebody please let me know. My hair is very sensitive to protein, so I'm going to watch very closely and see what happens. I didn't apply it to the length of my hair, only the scalp, which I'm natural, so it's hard to just keep it on the scalp. Some got on teh front of my hair and made it very very soft, but I'm still too afraid to put it on my hair as well. Any advice or suggestions? I do daily CO washes but I dont think taht will remove the protein buildup if there becomes any.

I'm excited to join this challenge along with the daily CO washes and DC challenge. I realize that accountability and being a part of something works for me, rather than lurking around and trying to do it on my own! Thanks for this thread!

If you get the really bad itchies, massage your scalp for a while after you apply. That works magically for me - calms them right down.

It's never too late!! This is the challenge that never ends! Welcome!

Hello,

For the relaxed ladies using MT, are you stretching your relaxers the same amount of time or not, before you started using MT?


Thanks

 

[rhapsdyblu]

These are the kinds of pictures that make me go bang my head in frustration - makes me sooooo impatient. LOL

Great growth - you hair looks thicker, too. Congratulations, Lady. Beautiful job.

Hey guys,
I just posted my MT updated pics in the OCT/MT progress thread- it's been 2 months already and I am so pleased with the progress .
Thanks for all the info that I have received from you all!! I'm so appreciative!

 

[rhapsdyblu]

OK, Ladies, you have bought up all the Mega Tek Cell Rebuilder gallon sizes. I went to the two sites I knew who sold it and they are out of stock. I checked with my other suppliers (do I kinda sound like I'm buy drugs?) & they don't carry this size yet. One site said they will & to check back soon. I finally put in a google search for Eqyss Mega Tek Cell Rebuilder gallon size & found doversaddlery.com. They have the gallon size in stock. It is 20+ dollars more than one site & 40 more than the other (I think it was $169 something at their discounted price plus 18.95 shipping) I decided to go ahead & purchase it because at this rate, there will be no MT on the planet left to buy.
So...obviously folks are buying this stuff, even if they are just lurking.

Hello,

I don't post alot.
I did want to stop by and say howdy to everbody.

I had my first little scare this morning. I was sitting at my laptop today. I have a fan turned slightly towards me. This morning before pinning up my hair four or five hairs fell out about the same time. 2 was breakage the other 3 were shed hair. Is this normal. I started using Mizani H20 Intense last Saturday but did not think I needed to use any other moisturizers. I have also been taking my garlic supplements. I am going to start using my regular moisturizing products in addition to the Mizani. Do you think thats too much.....please advise..

PS. My hair has visibly grown, I have regained some of the lenght my stylist cut off. I am now going to learn how to self relax...AGGIE?....:}(subbing to the self relax support thread)..because I don't want her(stylist) hands in my hair, ever again. I will shop for a trim specialist for my quarterly trim. You think 4-times a year is too much?

I'm 6 weeks post and the only thing I can really see in my new growth is that it seems softer, and I really cant tell how much new growth is up there. I decided to leave it alone until I re-touch...I can't wait.

I have been reading the posts, and you all are getting some wonderful results with the MT.

I'll check back in when I give yall the result of my retouch.

Happy Growing!

Ooooh good luck PuffyBrown on your self-relaxing attempt. I don't even use the gloves anymore as they hold me back too bad. If you attempt this, then I would suggest you base your hands before you do, okay? I didn't base mine but my hands were still fine.

 

[JustKiya]

*happy * to the lurkers!!

It's so hard to be patient, isn't it Rhapsdy? *sigh*

I still haven't gone for the gallon size - I think I still have 3 or 4 bottles of the 16oz left!

Yes, I'm still on my first bottle!

 

[Aggie]

Hello,

For the relaxed ladies using MT, are you stretching your relaxers the same amount of time or not, before you started using MT?


Thanks

PB, I can't seem to stretch quite as long anymore which is fine by me. I used to be able to stretch my relaxers to about 12-14 weeks and now I am having a very hard time getting to 10 weeks. I think I may have to relax at 8 or 9 weeks instead of 10 -14 weeks since starting using MT and OCT.

Girl, I still don't get how your first bottle is lasting a long time. I'm like(Neffy) "Are you Serious"

But for real though.......are you serious?

Seriously!! Okay, true, there might only be an ounce or two left in the bottle, but yeah. And, okay, I started in March, but I've taken at least 5 weeks off, here and there, so it's more like I started in April - and the next time I make a mix, I'm going to need to open a new bottle. So - 5 months, maybe? I'd say six, though, as it'll take me a couple of weeks to get through the mix I already have made.

My mix spreads easily, and I have a light, light touch.

Ok, so I have been lurking for over a month and I guess its time to jump into the pool. I have already learned so much in this short time. I would like to join the challenge. I've been using OCT for 2 weeks. Here is my start pic after a retouch and wrap.
