Who is getting residue/flakes from the MT??? I washed last night, rollerset, applied MT mixed w/ my Carol's Daughter Hair balm and this morning i see white flakes in my new growth. Its not dandruff. Scalp is fine. Just the flakage from the MT.

Anyone else getting this? Am i using too much? Thats why i mixed it with the balm to thin it out more.
i have buildup that i saw under my nails after i scratched my scalp yesterday...but i know that my mom applied wayyyy too much the other day. i am thinking i will add more oil to thin it out more cause right now my mix is about 90% mt and 10% oil...lol
 
:thud:

52.95 for JUST OCT?!??!?! And only 12 oz? Oh, danggone! I didn't realize the price shift was that big between the two. Wow.


Yep! That price ain't no joke. Which is why I may buy MegaTek and rotate it with OCT (a few people are doing that but I'm loving the cell therapy).
But's no matter what, I'll definitely repurchase the cell therapy when I run out. But the color 'poo and creme rinse I probably only have to purchase those 1x per year. Because I dilute the 'poo with water in a separate bottle and that seems like it'll last me some months. And the creme rinse I use it sparingly....But I'm a lil bit heavy handed with that darn Cell Therapy:lachen:.....
 
Ok, I want to try OCT. It's a little expensive for me.

Anyone want to go half on a bottle? PM me.

Oooh, tempting, tempting.... though, realistically, if I ever went for the Ovation, I'd most likely go for the sample sized pack - that way I could try out the Rinse too (like, once! :lachen: *sigh* my hair is so thirsty!!).....
 
Do you ladies discontinue use before getting a relaxer or will I be ok continuing my application tonight. My relaxer is on Tuesday.
 
i sometimes get that white residue but i thought it was because i usually go for a run immediately after i apply the mt... thought it was being caused by th e sweat. but i admittedly am not very light fingered with it.

If you add essential oils to your mix like I do, then you would want to wait at least 5 days before you relax. Although, if you have to partin your hair for application of your MT/OCT then you'd want to stop at least 3 days in any case to avoid burns and adding more build-up to your hair before your relaxer. You see, it is recommended that you clarify your hair at least 3 days prior to a relaxer and after that, you want to keep your hands out of your hair as much as possible during this time except for moisturizing the ends. HTH
 
I finally got around to taking/uploading some pics. So.......
I've been taking using OCT since Jun 16th ...but I forgot to do a beginning length pic...technically it's been 1 month since using OCT and even though I know I've gained length...I'll use these pics as my "unofficial starting pics" :drunk:and I'll compare these to our Sept 1st reveal..... I'm in braids and took a few braids out for length comparisons.

EDITED TO ADD: I tried uploading my pics but they were too big and I'm tired of fooling with it :wallbash:. I've updated my signature with the starting pic lenght shots...

That's great! When you click on it, it gets bigger, so that's perfect.

You have lovely hair!

What hair type do you consider yourself, out of curiosity?

Honestly, I've never used the "typing" system....i just have a whole lotta different naps up in there:lachen:..Also, I am now texlaxed or texturized....
Thanks!
 
Hello everyone,

I am a newbie and I started using the Megatek on Wednesday. I can already feel the itching but i love the way this product smells. I am washing 1x a week and cowashing 3x a week. I baggie nightly. I am transitioning to my natural hair. My last relaxer was in March of this year. I am still trying to figure out my hair type. I know I have coarse, thick hair , but it is very soft and it waves a lot. I am using Biolage Ultra Hydrating shampoo, conditioner, and daily leave in. I also alternate DC with lacio lacio, and Salerm 21 & Salerm wheat germ. I use Cantu Shea Butter moisturizing oil and EVOO. I have opted to wear my hair in ponytail, wig,roller sets (which is hard with my roots being so thick without getting a dominican blow out). I think I will stick to the ponytails and braidouts.

Great to meet you! I seems you have your reggie down to a T! Good luck too you! :grin:

I noticed I have some flakes yesterday too! It's at the base of my braids, not major but build up. I think too much product, not absorbing enough into the scalp...


:look:
 
^^ that's exactly what i think is going on with my hair. dandruff or not, it looks gross, especially since my braids now look quite overdue. these braids will be coming out on saturday so i dont care too much :rolleyes:
 
Ladies,

When you DC what products do you use? Do you use a Protein conditioner? Need some ideas. I am thinking of using Biolage as a DC.

Update: i posted a day or two ago that my hair felt weird. I went out and bought Nexxus Humectress and used it last night on my hair and what a difference. Thanks for the tip guys!!
 
LADIES THIS IS TRUE!!!
Last night, I was cleaning out my purse and I found the fact sheet from my shipment of Ovation. Here's some quotes from it.....

"...For men and women who have thinning hair or are disappointed with the length of their hair. You will see a difference the first time you use it. OVATION CELL THERAPY binds protein and amino acids to the hair shaft to renew elasticity and restore strength. Cell Therapy rejuvenates the scalp and encourages re-growth by speeding up the hair growth cycyle...

yada,,yada,,yada..

ALSO, as I was reading the rest...I came across this....


"IMPROVED SKIN QUALITY. Many clients reportbetter skin after prolonged use. The amino acids in Cell Therapy are good for the skin."




Ladies, lately I've been noticing that my skin has this "glow" about it..YOu know like how pregnant women look in the face...but this is ALL OVER my body (without using any shea butter)...NOW I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT'S THE OCT!!! YIPEE!!! :yay:Another reason to probably repurchase once I run out.....

BTW...I've been using the complete OCT kit since Jun 16th. Within the last 2 weeks I begin rotating OCT and my MN mix every other day and only washing with the color ' poo once per week... It's working great!

I add a tiny, pea sized amount of OCT to my facial night cream 3 times a week and to my body lotion everyday. After the first day I noticed my face had a glow. After about a week I started getting A LOT of complements about how beautiful my skin looked. One of my co-workers asked my what I have been doing differently because I look better than usually. (I told her about OCT). It looks like my skin is flawless and super healthy. I haven't had one menstrual (or random) breakout since adding OCT to my facial and body lotion.

...going back into lurk mode.

BTW, the women in this forum are awesome! I have learned so much. Thanks for being so informative, supportive and positive.:grouphug:

I've used the Biolage Hydrating and now Ultra Hydrating for DC for about three years. I have very, very, very dry hair and it works wonders for me. My hair is very soft after using the conditioner and if I straighten my hair it is full of bounce and elasticity. I also alternate with the Salerm 21, Slaerm wheat Germ, and Lacio Lacio conditioner. Out of the three Biolage is #1, Salerm #2, Lacio #3.
 
**MAKES NOTE TO SELF** get one cup of tea a packet of biscuits and read through the 700 extra post in this thread. I just can't do it in 10 mins.

Okay, So my Ovation system finally came and I used it last night. However, after the cream rinse I wasn't sure if I should blow dry my hair or not. How are you ladies styling your hair after using the OCT.

You can style your hair any way you want! Blow, air, flat iron, rollerset... :yep:

I thought this was all in my mind for a second. But I'm glad to see someone is experiencing this added benefit of OCT too! :yep:

Seeeeeee, now! I'm already using the MT on my nails - and I have some of the prettiest, STRONGEST nails I've had in a very, very, VERY, long time. I might have to step it up, now.... :yep:
 
I got my MEGAT-TEK today!!!:lachen: I ordered from kvvet.com on Thursday and received today. I was very suprised at how fast it came. My Bottle is black with Blue letters and it says "Mega-Tek Equine Rebuilder thick fuller longer Manes & Tails". I hope this is the one somr of the ladies are using with results since there are so many versions out. The side of the bottle says safe for human use so i am hoping to get great results. Is there anyone out there with this bottle and receiving good results??

Please let me know before i start using??

Thanks Ladies!
