Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[Shimmie]

Awww your soo sweet, yes I was upset, really upset. Thanks for your prayers-I really appreciate it and I do believe that God cares about our issues big and small.

The company said that they cant ship via post office for me either.

I have both products now, so I hope I'm able to compare both MT and ovation. Hopefully I get good results with MT and I dont have to order again. $50.00 in shipping cost is just not worth it!

Thanks for your prayers though. i love you ladies

Seriously, I dont even know if i have growth because i'm wearing cornrows-

does anyone know if conrows can slip? If they havent slipped and this is all growth that using the ovation system has worked very well for me! But I dont want to say until I take the cornrows out...

You're so welcome sweetgal. We're in this together.

I don't have cornrows, but many of the ladies who do have them have shared that their braids have become loose a lot sooner than before using Mega Tek. That's how they knew their hair had grown under the braids.

 

[Shimmie]

Shimmie - thanks for this. One more question. Are you applying the mix to dry hair like a pre-poo and then shampooing?

I sure do, Bublin I just take my hair down (I wear a semi twisted bun) and apply the garlic/oil mixture to my hair dry. And it works wonderful.

Even when I conditioner wash or use the Alter Ego Garlic Creme, I apply it to dry hair.

I only apply the Mega Tek / OCT to wet or damp hair. Thank God I only apply the garlic just once a week or every two weeks. It's work but it IS worth it, because I no longer shed.

 

[Shimmie]

Are you talking about the 2 min reconstructor or the hardcore one?

The packet where you use the 'sticky' one first, rinse and then use the packet of the creme conditioner.

Now that was a lot of help wasn't it? I hope this answer helped you even a little. When I've used it, I used the individual packets from Sally's. I don't like it. It's too hard and sticky for me.

Sorry for any confusion with my answer.

 

[Shimmie]

Has any one purchased from Neeps.com ? Their price is $21.96 but I see a shipping fee of $9.54 for my zip code

The best place and price is Hopes Braids. Shipping is ONLY $4.

I fixed the link :blush3: I am so sorry everyone. I have too much Horse Product in my head. The site is HOPES Braids not Horse Braids. :blush3:

Please forgive me.

Here's the page with the Eqyss products. Their Mega Tek is only $23 plus ONLY $4 shipping. I love it.

Our precious member 'sweetgal' shared this site. I couldn't appreciate her more. But leave it to me to mess up the name. Lawd how mercy...

Ladies,

Hey Ladies,
I co-washed yesterday for the first time to add moisture to my hair while using MT. It feels so soft i love it. I just want to know...what are the benefits of cowashing besides soft hair.

Hi Angel...

For me, the extra benefit of conditioner washing is the moisture held in the hair. Shampoo, dries the hair, so 'I' co-wash instead.

I'm open for the other reasons, so ladies please share...

Ladies,

Hey Ladies,
I co-washed yesterday for the first time to add moisture to my hair while using MT. It feels so soft i love it. I just want to know...what are the benefits of cowashing besides soft hair.

I cowash because my hair doesn't like/need shampoo - it's far too stripping. And it's cheaper - I don't have to buy yet ANOTHER product.

 

[rhapsdyblu]

Question, Ladies, any natural 4 a/b's notice more shrinkage after time with MT? I know my hair is "longer" & thicker but it is now shrinking so much more than before. Because of my thinned sides & temple, the front area of my hair is & looks super short. It's kinda cute & I don't mind it so much, but I have noticed this change in the last few days. I did change my mix to only JBCO 1 oz to 3-4 oz of MT. Don't know if that's a factor.

Just curious.

Rhapsdyblu, I'm not even natural but I've noticed that I have some serious shrinkage. I am six or seven weeks post and it looks like I've lost all my progress. I know that anything I do to flatten out my roots while show my progress again. Never had shrinkage like this prior to using OCT.

 

[napgurl]

WHAT????? $25 for shipping and an additional $25 for the release of the product???. Oh this is unbelievable! I'm so sorry that you paid so much just for this product.

I'm asking the Lord to 'redeem' the price for you in more ways than you can ever imagine. In hair health and growth, in your health physically, in your love life, in your home and family and in your finances. In Jesus's name....... Amen and Amen.

I'm serious about my prayers, I don't mess around. When I see precious people such as yourself who have been 'ripped' off, then 'JUSTICE' must prevail. God cares about us totally, even with the 'little things'. Because the bigger picture here is all about 'you'...His precious child.

Blessings to you sweetgal.

I wish blessings for everyone here reading this and in this hair journey as well and for God's blessings to 'redeem' their finances and entire lives too.

This Economy is a mess and we should not have to pay the price of it any further. Enough all ready...

Okay.....I'm not preaching any further; the Blessings of God have been set forth and sealed on all of our behalf.

Just say amen.

I'm in agreement with you. What a nice prayer. Amen.

 

[napgurl]

Just checking in after 4 days of MT. I'm conistent so far, but I must make a garlic mix and work on keeping my hair moisturized. I have super thick hair and combing was a challenge last night. I can feel the thickness increasing. So far so good with daily cw my hair is maintaining its moisture. Thanks for listening.

Ok ladies you can beat me up. I have only used my Mega Tekk about 6 times since I got it last month. I gotta big head and a lot of hair. My arms be tired trying to do all that parting.Anyway I also know I wasn't about to be on it as far as the DCing. Now I'm ready. I went to the BSS and they have Queen Helen's Garlic Shampoo, but not the conditioner. Will that work as well for the shedding and also I will start to take the garlic pills. I tried to stick it out the first few times and let the shedding be but it was scaring me look at this is this normal to shed all at once? I do mix my Mega Tekk with Vitamin E oil and Castor Oil. Updated pic below. Is it growing? I got a good inch of new growth hiding.

LADIES! LADIES! LADIES!

YOU HAVE SOLD OUT THE MEGA TEK AT HOPESBRAIDS.

So..some of you know i've been thinking about buying the megatek cell and rotate it with my beloved OCT.

Well...tonight I ordered from the HOPESBRAIDS.COM (THE $4 SHIPPING GOT ME) and I put in the wrong shipping address and submitted my order.

I sent an email directly to them and I just got off the phone with the owner (bobby) I assume.

She said "I'm just curious, within the last 2 weeks I have gotten 15 orders for this stuff, where did you hear about this product?".....

She was soooo friendly and returned my call within 30 minutes of me sending that email.
Well, the bad news is....she's reordering A-N-O-T-H-E-R case and mines wont be shipped until NEXT Friday.
But it's all good....cause I got my OCT.

just thought I'd share...

[Shimmie]

Yuh sure? I went on there and it was one of those sites with sites and sites and sites.

trini, I'm so sorry :blush3: I have too many horses on my brain.

The site is called "Hopes Braids" not Horse Braids.

I made the correction in my original post on this. Here it is again.

Here's the page with all of the Eqyss Products on it.

Their Mega Tek is only $23 and only $4 shipping. No additional fees.

For you, trini

For the amount of hair you have that is not a lot of shedding. Looks normal to me.

 

[leona2025]

Thanks for the response. You know I didn't even consider the fact that I have more hair than I use to have, lol. When I see hair coming out I get scared. I'm glad that it's a normal amount. Thanks for the reassurance. Maybe I don't need the garlic suppliments.

 

[RegaLady]

About how many times do you all apply it on the scalp during the day?

 

[JustKiya]

I only apply once a day. Someone is applying twice a day, but I can't remember who....

I agree - your hair is LONG, girl - one shed hair at this length will look like four shed hairs from a shorter length. I've been SHOCKED lately by how long a single shed hair is......

I don't think you need garlic supplements because of shedding.
Your shedding is normal. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

 

[Shimmie]

I'm in agreement with you. What a nice prayer. Amen.

Blessings upon blessings for you.

*H*H*H* Happy Healthy Hair

 

[trinidarkie1]

Ah well! Just when I thought I wouldn't have to drive and pick up a bottle tomorrow. I'm not too upset about it. Sadly hopesbraids is SOLD OUT! lol.

The only thing I lapsed on is ordering my Nutrine Garlic Shampoo and Conditioner.
iBeautyof Newyork has it for ONLY$3.99, they do not have the deep conditioner and I refuse to purchase it from Amazon and pay $8 for shipping.

I tried to convince Neeps to offer a discount, I was explaining to the guy that a lot of ppl will buy this if they made it worth our while, but they didn't take the bait. Ah well!

Off to Kirby's Tack Shop tomorrow to get my MT :crossfingers:

 

[gorgeoushair]

Now that was a lot of help wasn't it? I hope this answer helped you even a little. When I've used it, I used the individual packets from Sally's. I don't like it. It's too hard and sticky for me.

Sorry for any confusion with my answer.

Okay, you're talking about the hardcore one. Girl I wouldn't put that on my scalp everyday We're talking about the 2 min reconstructor

 

[MrsQueeny]

Oh and here is a pic taken a few weeks ago.

I am getting my hair pressed and trimmed next week so I will have another pic for yall then. Q

Wow, Queeny! You're hair is growing so fast! Keep up the good work! ((Reaching for my bottle of Mega Tek now )

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

Yes, *COOKIE*, sit under the dryer, for at least 30min....I actually use/ have used my garlic oil as a leave-in...don't get bougie on me, I REALLY needed the shedding to stop!!! I was like molting, even!

Listen, listen.... I camouflage with a mixture of conditioner and moisturizer...i throw on a baggie and call it a night...in the morning, I add more conditioner, a lil S-Curl and slip my hair into a bun...no one is the wiser...or at least they ain't bold enough to tell a sista, "Yo, chic, you smell like Spaghetti!" And baby,I'm an innercity School Teacher, and those kids do NOT mince words!!! But my dear sweet hubbie, would tell me, he wouldn't let me go out like that....TRUST.

I just thought I'd share my most intimate secret because it just may help someone in need of an end to SERIOUS shedding, like me.....

Good looking out! Yesterday when I made it home I decided to add a little garlic powder w/ my Megatek and a little bit of castor oil.. Results.. looks like it is working. This weekend I will try the garlic head w/ evoo, do u recommend I sit under the dry w/ this and if you do for how long??? Thank you for sharing.. Jah knows Im trying to save some money

 

[chelliwatson4574]

Okay, I wash and use the OCT system once a week. I wear straight hair for my interviews. The thickness is definitely improving, however, are people DCing after OCT or Megatek. I will sleep overnight in the OCT conditioner the night before I go to the hairdresser. He washes it out and styles as usual. I wonder if I should not sleep with the OCT, instead of sleeping in the OCT cond, use the OCT cond for about an hour, wash it out, then DC and go to sleep. Any thoughts?

 

[jamaicalovely]

i dont think mega tek is working as quickly for me as it has been everyone else. i have been using it for a little over 2 weeks and i definitely dont have an inch... or even a half... at least i dont think so because im not even 100% sure how an inch of ng looks. i need to find a ruler so i can know for sure, but i dont even know if my waves are ng at all or just reversion.

im leery of getting excited about ng because no matter how much it looks like i have a lot of ng when i straighten i hardly ever see any real difference... i think i better just apply this for the cosmetic benefits (my hair feels better) but not get my hopes up for a lot of length. boo.

You know....I felt the same way after I started using it. Then one day out the blue, I noticed that certain sections of my hair grew .5 inch. So, be patient. Find reference points for different sections of your hair (i.e. bang, nape, side, etc.) then measure and record length. Next check those same reference points in 2 week intervals. For example, I used my nape and discovered that my hair .5 inch in 2 weeks. Pics are several pages above. However, if I would have only based my progress on my bang I would say my hair grew .25 or not at all. Check Sallys for a measure comb.

Also, it could be that your hair maybe thickening up in some areas before gaining length.


BTW - how often are you using MT, you may have to increase frequency.
