Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[CurlyMoo]

Hehe. I think http://www.tastykake.com/ has online buying and shipping.

I might have to check them out, myself. Thankfully, I'm not a big sweets person, so I can handle not having mah tastykakes.

Thank you, I've had a taste for pastries lately.

 

[CurlyMoo]

on my scalp curly moo how often do you use it as a D/C

I DC with MT twice a week.

 

[CurlyMoo]

Whoa! A whole month? Wow, this thread has gotten very very long in such a short time. By the way, I just recently changed up my regimen a little this month. Darn, I think I have to go and update my fotki. I really don't feel like doing that tonight so I'll save that for another day.

What did you do then that you are doing differently now? I think you and I have similar reggie.

I don't know. My hair is changing. I'm still not sure - what, or, where, or how - or.... what... but it's different than the hair I had a year ago. It's - most - creepy and interesting, and it's not bad, at all - it's just - changed. It's not any less kinky, but it's looser. It's not any less wiry, but it's softer. It's not any finer, but it's more flyaway. It's - weird. But fabulous.

JK this description is so cute and so true. Sometimes I can't tell what's going on with my hair. It's thicker but not unmanageable, ya knowerplexed?

Wow, this is excactly how I feel. I've been trying to put into words how my hair has changed. But it has. Certainly thicker and softer.

 

[rhapsdyblu]

Gurl, I feel you. I know I shouldn't have, but have been reading so much about folks using both products, (to quote Caramelmocha)I finally "whipped out my card", too. I ordered my OCT & received a notice that it will arrive on Tues. I know I shouldn't have, financially, but just had to. Can't wait 'til it arrive. Now my head is spinning on how to incorporate it into my regime. You know I plan to have a full hairline & hair down to my ankles in a week, right?

so I got my Ovation system. I ordered on Wednesday, it was on the door step Thursday @ 10am!!! I only live 50-60 miles from their office but still...

so I got my Ovation system. I ordered on Wednesday, it was on the door step Thursday @ 10am!!! I only live 50-60 miles from their office but still...

Now I'm not sure what to do. I just read N&W post to JK and I am thinking I need to take the Mega Tek to the head straight since I have so much work to do. But them what do I do with my pricey OCT use it for showers and dc treatments only? do I have that the right way or is it backwards. Someone please help a sista out, I have product overload...

Hi, hello, and greetings ladies!!! Its 2o pm and I have just recived my first bottle of MEGA TEK!!! It didnt take that long about 3-4 days to get it, but I am excited!! I am encouraged!! I am ready to grow my hair longer!!! This is going to be sooooooo fun for me, and I know it has been for you all!! I will post my before, during and more during and more during pictures....becaue I plan on usuing this forever. I am no longer going to be a (PJ)...product junkie!! I have what I want and need! I am sooooo glad that its Saturday, the hurricane (Hanna) is gone, and now I can go and use my new products. Im going to go do some mixing and washing. I will keep you all up-to-date on my progress. I have to really find out what my hair type is, Im not all that sure, maybe someone can help me find that out. I have shoulder length hair, plenty of shrinkage due to being 9 weeks without a relaxer, its thick all around, but its thinner towards the ends due to the fact I need a relaxer. My hair is soft and holds any curls or any styles very well. You can do almost anything with my hair and it will hold. Just that the summer heat really got to it and it got dry. I experienced some breakage along the right and left temples and had some shedding. Well I believe that alot of this is going to come to an end with this product in use as well as Sams Jamaican Black Castor oil that I recieved on Wednesday I believe...can remember cause I was soooo excited to get it. Well ladies good luck to you all, I am very empressed by what you all have achieved and I am looking forward to feeling the successes as you all have.

Hey ladies!

I've been using MT for about a month now, I haven't taken any progress pics yet, because I wanted all my damaged hair cut. I just got a relaxer and cut yesterday, so there's nothing left but healthy hair on my head. I'll take some pics tonight.

For those of you who are relaxed how long after you get a relaxer do you resume your MT regimen??

Thanks!!

Just Kiya girl I miss me some Rendevous BBQ.... uugghh, there are so many things I miss about Memphis, that I didn't realize till I moved back to Jersey...rofl

 

[bravenewgirl87]

My hair seem thicker to me which is what I really wanted.

Maybe I'm just confused about my hair texture. But, I swear more and more loose curls keep popping up all over my head. No one else is experiencing this?

 

[BostonMaria]

Ladies, I hope this was ok.. but I copied and pasted the instructions on how to use MT and OCT and pasted it on NaturallyCurly because a few women over there want to use MT. I did it because I don't want them to shed due to lack of instruction. I am hoping it works for those ladies over there. It was just the instructions on the first page.

I've gotten lazy with MT lately. I gave half my bottle to my sister who just BC'd and is anxious to get long hair again. I will start applying MT again tomorrow and then on 9/24 I will blow dry my hair to see if I had any growth.

 

[JustKiya]

Alll you ladies buying the OCT is tempting, tempting!

As in - extra hair??? Or just differently textured hair?

Girl, yes, that's fine and wonderful!! You should have suggested that they lurk here too - I was telling a sista in a PM that reading the full MT/OCT threads are like an education - if you actually read through all of the threads, it's like a pHd in Mega-Tek and Ovation. I want to actually reread them, myself, at some point - I suspect that I'll be able to pick up details/points of interest by reading it all in a condensed period of time. :scratchch One of these days, I will.

You'll see the difference if you get (and stay) lazy with it, you will.

You definitely are not alone. Many of my shed hairs are showing a huge variety of curls to no curl at all at the new growth. Looking at those alone one would think my hair texture covers ALL the hair type systems from 1-4. No lie. Now looking at my head is a different story. I look like a teeny fluffy cloud walking around. This thickness is no joke.

 

[VirGoViXxEn]

Ok....good. December is going to be on and poppin!!!

Luv ya girlie!

It sure is!!..Cant Wait!

 

[Kozmc Kittn]

Hi everyone!! OK, its done. I have washed my hair and used MT for the first time along with a mixture if MT and black castor oil. Just to get my hair started off and running, I did follow the directions on the bottle but I didnt was it out, I used it as a leave in, just to see what it would do and feel. Its very thick and very soft, fluffy even, and as I stated before, I used my mixture applying it with an applicator bottle. I am actually gonna wash it again on Thursdays, which is my wash day, (no classes and I get off work at 3) but I will maybe wash again on Monday, every 3 days, just to see what results I get. But I am looking forward to sharing in my success with you all!

 

[Aggie]

Thanks Aggie you just taught me something new

, YAY, you did it .

 

[Aggie]

What did you do then that you are doing differently now? I think you and I have similar reggie.

Before I was only using it once a week on my hair and scalp for a 5 minute only treatment without heat, but now I use it a deeper protein treatment for 15-20 minutes with heat and I have been doing this for about 2 weeks now for added thickness.

Also before I was using MT on my scalp but now I use my OCT on my pre-oiled scalp between my MT 20 minutes treatments, ie, Sundays, Tuesdays, and fridays I use the 20 minute MT treatment on my hair and scalp with heat and on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I use OCT on pre-oiled scalp. This is working out well so far for me. I will be able to update in another 4-6 weeks on how well it's working.

I wait only 3 days to prevent my hair from reverting.

Oh no bravenewgirl, don't get me wrong, my hair is thicker but quite manageable. It's like there are curls, loose as you say, but thick all at the same time. It's just wierd but wonderful, ya know?

Uh-Hm, **clears throat for what I'm about to do, Screaming!!!** Hey youoke:, yeah you, this is all in love but "What you talkin' 'bout gettin' lazy BM? Don't let me haffa come over there you and give you a good ing!" Now get a movin' with the mega-saggin' girl. I'm keeping my :eye:s on you.

Okay now that I got that off my chest, limme go back to lurkdom.

A week?????? I started checking after two days of use. I am still not quite two weeks (Monday 9/8 will be two full weeks) and I am disappointed with my growth. What is wrong w/ me? this tread gives you growthitis, aka "the itis". I told myself today I was going to quit tripping and give it a chance. I'll check my alopecia spots for growth on the 8th and not every other hour.

 

[jojo70]

Has anyone used any homemade garlic concotions with their ovation/megatek?

I heard that if you blends some garlic cloves with oil (e.g., olive oil) it can really help prevent your hair from shedding.

Are you going to massage in your scalp between washes like I do with the OCT or no?

Hi Aggie! I didn't purchase the OCT. I am still thinking about getting it though, and I just may later on in the month. At the time I am just going to massage it with the mixture that I put together.

Yeah that's still good too. I did massage my scalp with the MT when I first started but I massage in the OCT at the present time, but they are both great for massaging in the scalp.

 

[BostonMaria]

Ok so I finally received my package today. I had to hide it from nosy co-workers LOL I got home, co-washed and applied it to my scalp. I still need to buy castor oil and I hafta figure out if I should apply it every morning or at night. Any suggestions? It didn't smell bad, but it does feel a bit sticky in my hair. Maybe more thick than sticky. I gotta take a before pic but till then I measured 10 1/2 inches in the nape, sides and back. 9 inches in the front. And the dreaded piece of hair on the side I accidentally cut too short on the day of the BC is *crying* 8 inches. Can't believe I did that.

Wish me luck!

Aww man I'm so glad I wrote that post back in July. A few minutes ago I remembered my post and started to measure my hair. Before you guys post that "this post needs picture" smilie *LOL* I am getting my hair flatironed in 2 weeks to finally see how much my hair has grown with MT.

OK so I just measured and my nape area has 11 1/2 inches of hair so it grew one inch
Sides and front 11 inches.... I couldn't freakin believe it! The front of my hair grew 2 inches in less than 2 months! The section I accidentally cut too short is now close to 10 inches! It was 8 inches in July.

Again, don't throw potatos at me ahahaha I will give you guys pictures soon. I would do it now but my hair is natural and it shrinks up to my ears. I updated my Fotki if you want to see current pictures.

Anyway if anyone is wondering why I got 2 inches everywhere else but the nape, I was actually purposely applying the MT in the front and the side that was cut too short because my nape area is growing like a weed but I wanted the rest of my hair to catch up with the nape. That's all for now. I will update my Fotki with flatironed hair soon.

How are you using your MT? You shouldn't really expect results so soon because each person seems to be having different results. Due to you having alopecia it may take longer. I had fast results and did not expect it. I don't know if it will continue. Please keep me posted because my sister has alopecia and I really want it to work for her.

 

[grnidmonster]

Curly Moo,
I know I am ridiculous. I talked to my derm (this isnt the first time I have had alopecia) she said there is no reason for it not to grow back. Actually it is growing back, I just want it to grow faster and thicker. Like my siggy says...patience is my goal. I will PM you in about two weeks, the hair should be thicker and darker in the spot so I can really see.

 

[Shimmie]

Hi Darlings...

My Progress Pics are in my siggy and Avatar. I posted my progress pics from February to Sept. I plan to have my next reveal in December.

Angels, you're doing great. I have to say that with my busy schedule I don't have a detailed regime, I just use the products each day as I am able. If I miss a day, no need to stress, just continue and don't give in to fear of failure. It's God who gives us hair anyway, the products are just a tool, the real progress comes from Him as we take good care of the gift of hair that He blesses us with.

Do what you can for yourselves, don't stress for perfection. Just care for your care with what's easiest for you. My hair still grew even when I missed a week of treatments. I use both the OCT and MT alternately. No selected day for either one, I just alternate them.

Rhapsodyblu you are beautiful and such an inspiration. And I owe you and email. Please forgive me...

Hugs and blessings to each of you. Don't give up. For God's Grace abounds towards each one of you. Just ask Him for the right methods for you hair, He'll never fail to show you the answers.

Much love....

Now I have to find the progress thread....

Shimmie....

I just did my first shampoo and dc since starting mega-tek on Tuesday. Everything went well. I will post pics when I take these micros out.
