Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

My beard and mustache appear to be thicker
LOL just kidding!

Don't even start with that!

 

[hothair]

I got the Eqyss Cream Rinse and Survivor detangler (like a serum), I haven't washed yet but I apply the Cream rinse as a leave in and its brill so looking forward to wash and rollers tomorrow, intend to pre-poo with Aveda Sap Moss, wash with mixture of baking soda and conditioner, DC with Miss Key 10 en 1, apply the cream rinse for 3-5 minutes rinse out, apply the Survivor detangler and rollerset, hopefully it all works out great.

My hair is natural, but I am not getting the growth you guys are getting. What am I doing wrong?

1. I basically deep condition every other day (every day if I can).
2. I then use the MT and leave on for 20 minutes.
3. Use infusium
4. put my mixture of emu oil, jojoba, and lanolin
5. vitamins: woman's daily, biotin, omega-3 fatty acids

I know that each person's hair grows at different lengths but I am wondering if there is something more that I can do?

I am going to start with garlic tea in the coming days.

My hair at the crown is still thin. Overall the hair is growing so that is a positive. But, the back and the crown are still thin and the front is coming in slowly.

THank You So much

BBB gave you some good advice but I want to make a small adjustment if you don't mind and that is to wait at least 3 days following the relaxer to resume putting anything wet on your newly relaxed hair because it will revert a little if you put anything wet on it too soon. The reason it will revert is because believe it or not, our hair is still in a neutralizing state up to 3 days following a relaxer okay? Once this neutralizing phaze is complete, then proceed to putting stuff on it okay? HTH

How is your nutrition going so far? Are you drinking enough water and consuming enough protein? How about fresh fruits and veggies? I would also reduce the DCing to no more than 3 a week. What is the lanolin used for and what are it's benefits? I am not too familiar with it. Why do only leave the MT on for 20 minutes and how often a week do you do this? Are you having any stress in your life? The reason why I ask this is because the crown of my head is my stress point and I would generally lose hair there if I'm stressed out. How do you style your hair daily? There can be so many variables to think of that could be causing the slow growth/hair loss.

Hi Aggie

I have a question for you and other ladies who are using ayurvedic haircare. How is it interacting with the MT? Any side effects?

Thanks

 

[oooop2]

Ladies...How long does 1 bottle of MT typically last you. I just started using it yesterday. I mixed a small amount w/ castor oil and scalp to my scalp. I currently have 2 bottles. I leave the USA for Japan on Aug 17 and was wondering if I should stock up...LOL

TIA

what is your MT mix, and why are you only leaving it on 20 minutes? are you leaving it on your SCALP or on all your hair like a leave-in?

 

[lilsparkle825]

mannnn i am sitting under the hood dryer for the first time since the beginning of june trying out my very first natchal rollerset...

...and i just realized i forgot to megassage. i'm so about to rip this net bonnet off and lift up these rollers, cause i won't be able to apply my MT for a few days. boy i kinda hope this thing turns out badly so i can wash it out and start over

 

[miabee1]

Ok. It's officially been a month and I'm... off the Megatek bandwagon. So to speak. I will continue to use the product and I may even buy a second bottle just to make it to the three month mark, but I no longer believe this product will result in miracle growth for my hair. I have nowhere near an inch of newgrowth. And not only that, some areas of my hair like the front where I would part for a bang, have no newgrowth at all. I could have accomplished this without agitating my scalp every day. It seems like no matter what I do I can't make any progress other than what my hair would normally be doing on its own if I totally ignored it or did fcked up things to it too. The only thing I can do that I see obvious, visible progress from is sew ins. So from now on, that's what I'm going to do and leave the rest of all this hair care stuff alone. I hope y'all have better results than I did.

I say continue with the products. Don't expect to see extremely fast and "overnight" type growth. Everyone's hair is different. As for myself, I'm experiencing thickness, strength and some growth, and its only been a month. I believe with continued use you will see results.

I'd have to agree. Some of us get a slow and steady extra bit of growth that adds up to a lot when we do the hair math.

My rate doubled, but I was at a length where it wasn't obvious to the eye. Measured, did the time-math...and voila.

No amazing itchies or an inch overnight...but I did get somewhere. Seeing as I was ready to jump ship after only 16 days, I understand why you feel as you do after a month. I congratulate you on sticking out longer than I would have.

Measure if you haven't already. Try it as a DC treatment 3x a week. Mine got steamed into my hair and scalp daily overnight. Maybe that's why there was no itch (too much moisture to notice it??) but it got in the follicles to be sure.

Best wishes with whatever you do!

 

[trinidarkie1]

I am LIVID!
I have waited TWO and a half weeks, maybe THREE to get my Megatek.
Did a trade, sent out product to someone to get it and now I get it, THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THE BOTTLE HAS SPILLED OUT!
*crazy laughter*
I mean, how bad lucky am I?
So what do I end up with? NOTHING!
Gladly it was placed in a ziplock bag, so I'm going to have to see how I can salvage whatever lil remnants are there.

But pissed am I?

YES!

UPDATE

You guys can fill in a post. I have only been gone for a few days and you manage to write a short story
I see that there are alot of people who are experiencing some growth as well as some drawbacks. I wish all these challengers the best and if I can say anything it was worth the try. Even though I did see growth I will say that I would have tried it anyway. I also agree with the other members to keep trying longer. I also am not getting mega growth in two weeks but I am seeing more growth at this point of my growth cycle than normal so if the product is not making my hair growth, the combination of the product with my other products and haircare regimine could be assisting with the over all health of the hair at the root, creating a scalp environment condusive to reducing build up in the follicles. I will continue to use this product. I will start my second month on the 11th.

Anyhoo...

I had my retouch on July 11th and I can actually see the growth from the back and this is without flat ironing my hair. I gauge my hair based on the tatoo that is on my back. I haven't taken a picture yet of this I want to wait until my next retouch before so I can see it with my own eyes. The hair from the crown of my head is really filling in nicely. This section of my hair grows the slowest. This section is now getting close to touching my shoulders. It has been resting at my lower neck forever. I will be glad when it catches up to the rest of my hair enough so that I can cut it to make it all one length.
Now about the itching. I have been itching like crazy. The onlly thing I can do is wash my do. I havent been using a strong shampoo, just an herbal one. Yesterday, I had to whip out the Joico and get to it. After that my head felt refreshing. Today is garlic treatment and DC day.
This is my first experience with the exception from my short bout with MTG, that I can say that I have seen visual results throughout my entire head.

sorry post long....

PS.
I had something else to tell you but I forgoterplexed

My mother and I are *still* using my original bottle of MT and it's going on 3 weeks of usage. I purchased the gallon so as not to run out...I guess I have the 'stock up' mentality too. How long will you be in Japan?

I'm heavy handed and I'm averaging 1 bottle every 3-4 weeks. Is that a lot?

 

[trinidarkie1]

Alright, so I was able to salvage some so I will be starting tonight.
*fingers crossed*

 

[oooop2]

I'll be in Japan another 6m to 1yr...I ordered 3 more bottles so that I won't stress myself out over it...LOL

 

[poookie]

i'm using MT straight on my scalp... i use about a dime sized amount every night, so i don't see me running out of this stuff for at least the next 4 - 5 months.

i have the 16 oz bottle, by the way.

 

[oooop2]

I'm heavy handed and I'm averaging 1 bottle every 3-4 weeks. Is that a lot?

How often are you applying? And are you mixing it with anything?

I just started using mine on Thurs night...Been applying 2x/day. Mixing w/ castor oil.

 

[Zeal]

My stuffis here yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Now someone tell me how to use this stuff. I have:

Mega-Tek Rebuilder
Premier Cream Rinse and Detangler
Premier Rehydrant Spray

I am so excited.

 

[nodisrespect]

I use about a 50 cent piece amount for my whole head (which I think is kind of a lot)... I think this bottle will end up lasting about a month and a half. I was using more for the first two and a half weeks but then I realized the bottle wouldn't make it through the month so I started using a little less.

 

[Aggie]

Hi Aggie

I have a question for you and other ladies who are using ayurvedic haircare. How is it interacting with the MT? Any side effects?

Thanks

Hi explosiva, no side effects for me but then again I don't use the powders too often anyway, perhaps every 4-6 weeks would be about right.

 

[Classic]

How are you applying. I use an applicator bottle but Im pretty sure Im using more than a dime size. I wonder if im overdoing it?

 

[twnz&1mo]

How are you applying. I use an applicator bottle but Im pretty sure Im using more than a dime size. I wonder if im overdoing it?

I'm using an applicator bottle also and I make parts vertically through my scalp and rub it in and Megassage for 5-10 minutes.

 

[trinidarkie1]

I used my MT tonight for the first time. That bad boy didn't rub in at all, it just stayed white on my scalp. No biggie.
I massaged for about two minutes and then put on my satin cap and I'm in bed now.
Let's see how my hair looks and feels tomorrow.

 

[sunshinebeautiful]

I just started using mine on Thurs night...Been applying 2x/day. Mixing w/ castor oil.

I apply everyday. And I don't mix it with anything.

 

[twilight80]

Thank you to all that answered my questions. I have been using my MT for a week now and I have to say I'm lovin it already. Not sure about the length yet but my hair is definatly thicker. Thanks everyone for inspiring me to try this product. I will do my first comparison pictures at the end of the month.

 

[twilight80]

Hi Aggie

I have a question for you and other ladies who are using ayurvedic haircare. How is it interacting with the MT? Any side effects?

I actully mix mine with the Shikakai oil and I love it. I have only been doing it for a week but have not seen any side effects.

 

[seraphim712]

I purchased the

Mega-Tek Rebuilder
Avocado Mist
Premier Rehydrant Spray

I can't wait to use them!!! Someone on one of the threads (I'm not sure if was this one) suggested to start preparing the scalp with oils so that when the Rebuilder is applied it will soak into the scalp more effectively. I'm not sure if I'm correct with this info, please let me know. I plan on using emu oil for my scalp when I get ready to use the Rebuilder.
