Ok...I'm not alone "whew".....
I thought it was just me but the same thing is happening to me! My hair is getting thicker at times and I feel like its not growing, and then....growth and faster at certain times.
Cool......
Anything that going on with me that's going on with you is a good thing in my book!!!
all over N&W's hair again. 
Have you all checked out the other Mega Tek thread that compares OCT, MT, and Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor?. It is very interesting. According to some of the ladies, OCT and Aphogee smell the same and are similar in ingredients. As a matter of fact they give you the run down of the ingredients of all three and Aphogee appears to have more, with exception of castor oil. One lady does her own "bastardization" concoction that contains Aloe Vera, the Aphogee, Horse Tail (don't ask me what kind), and other oils.
Check it out. Some ladies pointed out that the order of the ingredients between the products and the concentration may be a factor in the price of the OCT and the Aphogee.
Aphogee doesn't just appear to have more but it has like 3 times more ingredients than OCT and MT. I will wait to see comparison pics before I jump on that. Besides, OCT and MT is safe to be used daily while Ahogee is recommended to be used once a week. Hmmmmm, now why is that?
Thanks JK
I'm - well. I don't know about it, really.
1) The fact that there are SO many more ingredients seems to indicate to me that the 'active' ingredients in OCT/MT are severely watered down in the Aphogee.
2) Mega-Tek is not all that expensive - I'm still working on my FIRST bottle from March - and Aphogee, if I remember correctly, ain't all that cheap.
3) The company that manufactures MT/OCT suggests and almost 'encourages' us to use it the way we are. I haven't seen any such reassurance from Aphogee.......
*shrug*
If it works for ladies, and they would rather use the Aphogee, more power to them. I'm sticking with my MT unless I see some growth pictures indicating at least 1.5-2 inches a month.
I have been using ovation for about 3 weeks now (consistently)!
I finally received my MT toady. I plan to mix iit with some oils and maybe water. Does oil and water mix?erplexed My friends mom came back from Jamacia, and my friend brought me some real black castor oil too! The authetic oil that only the old jamaica ladies who live in the country side of the island know how to make. Natural no filler, no funny stuff! It's funny because I thought to myself about 2 weeks ago that I will give up on finding the real stuff. I cant afford the sams oil with shipping, and I decided I was not going to buy the cheap, clear walmart kind anymore
The guy from the Company where I order the Mega Tek also sent me a free bottle of the marigold spray (i think it's the 8 oz bottle) Perhaps because he was out of town and had to ship the product 5 days late. So now I have a free bottle of the marigold spary..he also sent me a hand written note thanking me for his business thanking me for my patience.
Does anyone know what to do with this spray? Does it work well?
Great customer service really makes a difference.
check it out -descent prices too especially if you live out of country, I believe he ships to Europe too! Hurry cause he will be upping his shipping prices for international shipping very soon, but he informed me that the price increase will not be substantial

Man, ya'll are seriously making me want some JBCO! *sigh* One of these days, one of these days. *considers adding that to her list*
I got the Marigold Spray, and I use it instead of Off. It works pretty well, if you aren't surrounded by hordes of Mosquitos, and it smells very nice. I've used it a couple times when I was out in the yard instead of Off, and I've got no complaints.
Garlic........ Deep condtion with a garlic and castor oil mix. I use garlic powder (not salt), but the powder and mix with castor oil into a loose paste and apply to my entire head of hair. Cover with a plastic cap for at least an hour then wash out.
OR...... Use the Alter Ego Garlic Conditioning Creme. It's wonderful and you can't go wrong with it. It truly lessens and ELIMINATES shedding.
Aphogee is just too strong to use more often than once a week. I've used it a few times, and I see no comparision of Aphogee to the Eqyess products (OCT/Mega Tek).Aphogee doesn't just appear to have more but it has like 3 times more ingredients than OCT and MT. I will wait to see comparison pics before I jump on that. Besides, OCT and MT is safe to be used daily while Ahogee is recommended to be used once a week. Hmmmmm, now why is that
I'd much prefer and I have excellent results using OCT, Mega Tek and Garlic to strenthen, thicken and lengthen my hair.
Whew.... I sound like a TV commercial...
I have the Kyolic Garlic Supplements too. Excellent supplement to take. It truly does work. And the garlic is beneficial for our health in so many other ways.

Thank you so much for posting this. I wish you much success with your hair care regime and Mega Tek. The 'gift' they sent you is for repelling flies and other insects.I have been using ovation for about 3 weeks now (consistently)!

I just ordered the Eqyss Mega Tek Avocado Mist from them...
I like this company for three reasons:
1. They have each of the products that I wanted to use (the Cell Rebuilder and the Avacado Mist).
2. Their shipping is extremely reasonable.
3. Their prices are lower than the others.

LOL....your funny...but mean girl
Yeah i checked the other thread for the percetange of people who used the product. Only like 2 people who claimed to use it, and they probly used it for their horse, or picked the selection in the pole just for fun..
I sprayed it, smells nice, but i dont think I will use it unless i hear some reviews, read all the ingedients or at least until i take my hair out of the cornrows then I can actually evaluate what the spray does
I'm going to try the Marigold Spray when I go back to the Caribbean because Off doesn't work...it's a joke to mosquitoes.

ETA: The copy/paste seems to be 'off' for some reason. I couldn't copy/paste the entire product description for you. (sorry about that). Just follow the link above, the information is near the bottom of the page. Okay?
They have other garlic brands as well:

Hi trini,
I'll try and do a search in the original OCT/Mega Tek thread, but I think it was mentioned in a post that some of the ladies didn't like the Queen Helene Garlic Shampoo. The one preferred was Nutrine Garlic shampoo and conditioner.
Okay....... I found an older thread on garlic shampoo and conditioner. Here it is.
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=88403
Also, I have the Nutrine and I like it. I also have the Alter Ego Garlic conditioning creme. I love the Alter Ego
The Nutrine shampoo is also very nice, but it can be a little drying, (it is definitely a clarifying shampoo) so I have added a little castor oil to the Nutrine conditioner and deep condition afterwards.
HTH
Shimmie, thanks so much! You're awesome.
I have to make a hair product list now.

This is useful information. The Garlic Powder and Castor Oil. Who would've thought
I think I might buy some fresh garlic and blend it up with castor oil and put it in a jar and make a concoction.

Quick update:
I've got a little bush growing underneath my relaxed hair...first time in a long time that I have given serious thought to transitioning. With MT in my arsenal, I think it would be worth a shot. I have A LOT of ng. Anybody else thinking of transitioning now using the MT?

Hey Shimmie,
Where can i find the Alter Ego Garlic conditioning creme?
Aggie is our Garlic Treatment EXPERT here. I love her
You may be able to find it locally in a BSS near the Ethnic or Dominican hair care products.
I purchased mine from Amazon. Here you are:
http://www.amazon.com/Alter-EGO-Treatment-Garlic-1000ml/dp/B000T9ZCL4
Don't let this price scare you
They have a smaller size. I promise, they do. But this product is worth every penny. Here's some information on the Nutrine Garlic Shampoo and Conditioner:
http://www4.shopping.com/xPO-Garlic_Conditioner
These can be purchased at a BSS as well. The prices are very reasonable.
You can't go wrong with this. I've used several homemade Garlic remedies and they ALL work. You can use any oil you prefer.This is useful information. The Garlic Powder and Castor Oil. Who would've thought
I think I might buy some fresh garlic and blend it up with castor oil and put it in a jar and make a concoction.
The Olive Oil and Garlic smells yummie
It smells like a homemade Italian 'sumptin' good to eat. I prefer Castor Oil because Castor Oil is a growth aid and that's an extra plus. But any oil will do such as Olive, Sesame, Jojoba, etc. It doesn't smell too good mixed with Coconut oil, but it works.
The homemade ones are just a little messy
The oil drips down your neck BUT...... it cleans up well and doesn't leave a garlicy smell on you. I have no shedding. Once in a while, I see a few strands, but that's normal for everyone.
Happy Hair Blessings to you, angel.
Hi eroberson, I purchased mine from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Alter-EGO-Treatment-Garlic-1000ml/dp/B000T9ZCL4
BUT......... you may be able to find it at your local BSS near the Ethnic or the Dominican hair care products.
Sickbay also sells it online, but each time I've tried to order it, they were out of stock. So I opted for Amazon because I was in a hurry to try it.
Oh!...... there's a discount code in this thread from our forum. Here's the link:
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=133925
ETA: Ladies, I just thought of this. I'm sorry for not placing this in my prior posts above. It's just that each time I've tried to order Alter Ego from Sick Bay, it was out of stock.
Hope this helps someone.
Awwwww, you need a hugMy Mega tek came today, but i misses the delivery man!
Hey, I've been 'there' when a delivery of mine came and I missed the driver and he didn't leave my package. I get so upset
That $4 for shipping is a BLESSING and Sweetgal so are you.
Some of the other vendors actually add an addtional fee for orders under $50 which is the same as increasing the price of the product. Horsebraids is not only priced lower, but they don't increase the price when you don't meet the minimum.
Thanks again so much for making my shopping so much easier. We have to add this Merchant to our list at the top of this thread for Mega Tek supplies.

Love it
And you too

Hey ladies.... 
I have a question. For those ladies using MT who rollerset under the dryer - do you put the MT on your scalp first? My first mind says that it's kind of pointless to put the MT on my scalp then sit under the dryer, because the dryer will just 'dry' the MT and it won't absorb into my scalp. But I'm no expert so I figured I'd ask.
Thanks in advance!

MT and OCT are the 'same'. Use it only as a SCALP 'conditioning treatment'.. Basically, that's what the majority of us are doing it as.Hey ladies....

While I don't sit uder the dryer for my treatments (I'm too busy to sit that long
lol, I do use a plastic cap and you can use a heat cap. After your scalp 'treatment' rinse out the MT, and THEN do your roller set routine as usual. I don't suggest using heat with either of these products; they are infused with a lot of protein and I don't reccomend it.
That's just my view though. Some of the others may have done so and have great success with it. I'm just not a 'heat' user.
