Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[Nice & Wavy]

Nice & Wavy, you were so nice to me when I first came to this board and wanted to know about this product. I hope you keep posting

Awww...thank you BostonMaria. I will keep posting about my results.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Whew... Okay! I think I understand why. Luv ya too.

I'm glad that you do understand...

Ladies, I must report that after only 3 weeks post-relaxer, my roots are already puffy, especially in the crown. Now, mind you, I *don't* have fast-growing hair. Normally I don't start to feel NG until about the 6th or 7th week. I'm typically able to stretch my relaxers 4 months at a time. I may have to cut back, however, on the MT from everyday use. My hair is too fine to relax often. So I'll start using the MT every other day or every 2 days, instead. I'm getting compliments on my hair, left and right. That has never happened before. It looks different, healthier and shinier and not as dull or fragile. I gotta say that I'm very happy with the health of my hair. I haven't been able to make that pronouncement in many, many years...

Welcome CurlyMoo,
You have some beautiful thick hair! Awesome starting point!!!

Thank you! Sorry, I just found your comment. I don't see my name on the list though. Thank you, I will keep you guys updated. I am very excited. I was at the gym last night and I was in the steam room and I must say it was very nice to DC in the steam room. I also had MT on my scalp. I couldn't believe how hot and steamy they had it so I couldn't resist.

BTW, my scalp is itchy this morning. It was subtle at first but now I am noticing it more. In fact I have to take a break after I type each sentence to scratch my scalp.

I'll take that as a sign to add more moisture. My goal is full even thickness and length to the tailbone or at least WSL by next December. LOL I know that's a tall order for Mega-Tek. But I am hopeful. I WANT A HORSE PONY TAIL.

Tootles!

 

[CurlyMoo]

Are any of you only using one of these products (i.e. Mega Tek but not Ovation Cell or Ovation Cell but not Mega Tek)???

Do you have to use both of these products together?

Me All Mega-Tek!

Good for you!!, I'm glad to see so many members having such good results!! It truly motivates me when I try to get lazy & skip a day. I have been using it 6 days and I already have some NG !!! Keep up the good work!!

 

[CurlyMoo]

Hi Ladies, It's been a while since I could really post on the boards. Things are rough! Anyway, I am still applying my MT and JBCOnWGO mix to my scalp, however, not every night. This is only week 3 and I'm going to keep using it until this remnant is done. Still no change, still no growth yet.

I'm sorry things are rough for you. I hope they get better.


Have you tried using MT straight to your scalp and/or hair? You could be diluting too much. I say try a new technique after the 4th week if you see no changes. You may hold out longer to 2-3 months. Keep in mind that the bottle's instructions do advise to apply 2-3 times a week and the more often you use it the better. I just started also so I will be keeping an eye on my own progress as well. But based on what I have seen from the ladies here the ones with the growth results are applying it damn near every day.

Tootles!

 

[CurlyMoo]

Ladies,

I love being in this challenge...it has truly changed the way my hair feels and my hair has grown so much. I'm grateful for a product that does what it says it will do and OCT/MT will be apart of my regi as long as they continue to make it.

However, I am going to refrain from making any suggestions or answer anymore pm's about the usage of these products. There are numerous posts about these products and all one has to do is to search, or begin reading from the first page of this thread. Because of all the 'drama' that pops up on the hair forum about it, I don't want to be a participant any longer in it, so I have made my decision. ETA: I'm not leaving the thread, I will still be apart of the challenge, ya'll!!! I will post pics still, because I want those who are beginning to use it to be encouraged...it works, very well when used as directed and I haven't had any harmful things happen to me while using it...Praise the Lord. Well, I can say that about many shampoos and conditioners and other things that I have put in my hair over these last few years as well....Praise the Lord!

Blessings to all you ladies who have been in this challenge from the beginning...you are the best! You are always helpful and willing to work out the kinks and knots that can come from challenges such as this one.

I appreciate you!

See you in the revealing thread in September!

OMG, I respect your decision but you are one of the people who encouraged me to not give up on my hair goals. This will be a loss because you are one of the most positive supportive people on this board!

You know your decision will prolly make others step up and take the initiative to help out. I have not really noticed much negativity except a few people who feared that this regimen would create a set back. Which she was just echoing mine and others fears. So I don't have a problem with it. But then again I have not finished reading through this thread. The first one was very helpful. Take care. I will be checking your progress.

I soooooooooooooooooo feel you on this N&W sis, and I totally respect your decision...... *sigh*

I feel like a mean headmistress sometimes, talking to folx about these products and trying to gently encourage them to go forth and learn - but so many people want things just given to them. I don't know. Maybe that's just me being *****y. *lol* But then, I've never had much patience for passive learners, no matter what the subject matter is. *sigh*

I so understand the fears that people may have about ANY product, especially a protein enriched product like MT. It's proper to ask questions about it and try to get answers, but it can be tiring when people ask you for advice, you give them advice and even go above and beyond that advice, yet they still listen to others who actually don't even use the product, no experience with it whatsoever, then go along with the fears of that person and then start a thread about said fears. It's tiring and frustrating, to say the least. That's why I don't want to answer any more questions about it. There is so much info on it and so many people who are using the product and who have been using it for quite awhile, that will be more than willing to answer any questions members may have about said product, I just wanted to make people aware that I'm stopping my advice either via this thread or in pm land.

Thanks again!

Congrats on the progress, genesis:sweet:

~*~ OBSERVATION LADIES ~*~

I just took down a braid in the back to redo it....MY HAIR FEELS SOooo strong and soft! It's amazing. I started MT in my OCT rotation two weeks ago and it seems as if my strands have thickened. Once per week, I apply the MT to my entire head for about 5 minutes, then I rinse out. I follow up with a DC the next day.
Also, when I was finger combing through the hair I took down from the braid, I noticed less shedding. I've been taking garlic supplements for 15 days now.

I'm glad that you do, sis. Thank you for understanding.

It can be a draining process and I don't do "draining."

I hear your *sighs* and can echo them greatly.

It's all good though, right?

BTW, I'm loving the KiyaFizzle....I do it once per week and my hair loves it! Thank you so much for sharing about that...

 

[slim_thick]

I thought the same thing also!!! I use OCT only. It appears as if there is less worries than with MT.

That's what I thought! erplexed I will try MT after my OCT is finished. My NG is out of control. I'm 10 weeks post relaxed and I have to dig deep into my hair just to feel my scalp.

 

[JustKiya]

I'm glad you are loving it, N&W!!!! I'm doing mine about once a week, too. I've been thinking about combining it with some steam, once it cools down a little more.

That sounds good (steam). Just adding it to my DC is wonderful. It actually causes my hair to stay more moisturized throughout the week with my products, than it did before I started using it. I've also noticed that my curls are much more defined and they look so much better (not frizzed)!

Let me know how the steam goes...maybe I'll have to invest in a steamer myself....

Nice & Wavy,

For what it's worth. I would like to personalty thank you for all of your advice. You have encouraged many people. I understand and respect your decision. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I know!!! I'm actually quite seriously considering skipping my midweek DC!! I don't know though, Aggie might be all ovah me for that one! My hair just feels so soft and moist still!

I use the homemade steam treatment that SamJones came up with - double shower caps and hot towels.

*Quietly tips into thread

Someone(I forget who, sorry) mentioned searching for the mega-tek in the gallon size for a decent price. I don't know if this has already been stated but kvvet.com has mega-tek gallon for $124.99. I got one and shipping was only $7.04. I used the 054 coupon and my order came out to $126.99. Just to share

Glad you're staying Nice & Wavy

I'mma need all of ya'll women with ya'll wise words about bulk buying and cheap prices on gallons of MT to just STOP IT!! Ya hear me?!?!?! Temptation lurks around every corner, I swear!

I feel like I need another 'Buy Nothing' challenge, or SOMETHING.

Nice & Wavy,
I don't say much but, I am here all the time. You have been so helpful and kind. Thank you for sharing and caring.

I'm with you!!! I am also on my third week, and my new growth is RIDICULOUS. It's like I have a brillo pad next to my scalp!!! But...at least isn't a soft and strong brillo pad!! I have no idea what to do with my hair! I also don't want to relax my hair more than once every 8-10 weeks, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to last that long! I really want to continue to use MT everyday, so I'm thinking about getting kinky twists or some other protective style so that I don't have to wake up everyday and think about what I'm going to do with my hair! I'm interested in knowing how it works out for you.

I finally got my MT today....Let's do this...

Hmmm, I can certainly understand your decision on this and I am also tempted to do the same thing for the reasons as yours. I think it's a good idea to do this so therefore I'll do the same as you. I fully support you in this.
