Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[Aggie]

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.

Nice & Wavy was the first one who started oiling her scalp first then applied the MT and OCT afterwards. I did a review on this a few weeks back where I did say that the application of the MT was easier to apply this way and that I ended up using less MT as a result. Before I started doing it this way, I was using way too much MT. I like applying the oil to my scalp followed by the MT much much better. HTH

Omy, I just looked at your growth in your siggy. You got all that in 1 month using MT?

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.

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

i forgot to add...when i took out my cornrows the shedding was CRAAAAAZYYYY. i was kinda concerned that it was breakage from how tight my cousin braided but you know i checked every single strand...those fat bulbs didnt lie! the rollerset will keep me at a low level of manipulation this week; still contemplating whether to megassage or not, lest i miss a half inch of growth or something. btw it turned out GREAT for my first try...i am so happy!

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.

i wonder how much i am using...i thought that a dime sized amount sounded really small but since i mixed it 3 parts MT and 1 part oil i bet i am not using as much as i think. i put 4oz total in my app bottle and after 3 weeks i think i still have a little over 2oz left. i have half a bottle left of straight MT cause during week 1 i was heavyhanded and went through 4 whole ounces. i wanna cry thinking about that!

Actully no. I just started the MT last week. I haven't done an update picture yet. But YEAH my hair did grow that much in a month by just taking better care of it. I found and joined this site in June and the progress picture was in July. I just started using AO and co-washing every other day and it made a big difference. I'm hoping the MT will make a bigger difference.

I removed my sew-in last night and I noticed that I had some growth. I also had a lot of shedding.erplexed I haven't been taking my garlic capsules everyday and I've been stressed out so I haven't been eating right either. I'm going to have to step up my game now. Lil Sparkle, you're right. I noticed that nearly all of the strands had "fat, white bulbs". I also noticed that the individual strands were stronger and thicker.

 

[MrsQueeny]

I am about to wash my hair in about 15 minutes. I can't wait to use my MT!!!! Q

 

[Shimmie]

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to share an update on the Mega Tek that I started using about 2 weeks ago. Most of you know that I also use OCT (since February) and I love it. But I wanted to try MT just to compare the differences.

I took this picture yesterday evening ("Saturday Aug 9), to post in JustKiya's 'Salt' thread. And then I noticed the difference; my hair has really thickened within the last two weeks when I started using the Mega Tek.

I've attached the new pic to this post. But in my siggy, the bottom right picture is the one that I took about two weeks ago. MT is no joke. I knew my hair felt different, it does feel and look thicker, but I didn't realize the full difference until I took last night's picture.

Note: In this latest picture I'm in the same pose with my head down. Also, my hair has picked up auburn / red highlights from the summer sun. You can see the difference in both pictures; the original picture in my siggy is darker.

Were you also moisturizing with the sew in?

WOW, congrats. How were you using the Mega Tek? Did you apply it to your scalp or used it like a conditioner?

Oooooh Shimmie, your hair is yummy thick from the MT. I can't wait to see your September reveal pics.

I am thinking of joining this challenge and buying MT, but WOW, between this thread and the old thread, I have weeks worth of readingerplexed. I wonder if there is a way I can get the basics of MT usage

the thread is only 67 pages long if you put it on 40-post-per-page view.

seriously, thats the best advice i can give you...cause if you dont read through AT LEAST the new thread there is a lot of crucial info you may miss. it is easy to tell when someone has read and someone hasn't read, IMO anyway. but here is a primer before you begin: apply to scalp, rub in and cross your fingers.

 

[jamaicalovely]

Do you all still support the use of the Premier Creme Rinse?

I may try it. Ladies who use both MT and OCT, do you think it would be better for me to use the OCT creme rinse?

I was planning on getting the Avocado Mist to spray on my braids underneath my weave. Do you all still think this is a good spray or should I get the rehydrant spray?

I looked through the threads for these answers and previous posts indicated that the ladies just started using the products.

Thanks, girls!

As long as this thread is, these questions have been asked a million times.

The basics are this: Apply MT like a grease to your scalp once per day. It is a heavy protein so you may need to up your use of moisturizing DC's. Some ladies experience increased shedding (which stops after awhile), those have been using garlic shampoos to decrease shedding. You may feel some tingling, itchies after application, then again maybe not. It doesn't mean it's not working. Give it at least 90 days to see if you see a difference.

HTH.

 

[EMJazzy]

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

If you mix your MT with oils it should last til you return home. Have a safe trip.

That was one of the FIRST things I noticed using MT.

I view the thread the same way.

 

[poookie]

Not sure if this has been posted before, but should i hold off on MTing since i'm giving myself a relaxer touchup this week?

 

[GeorginaSparks]

Poookie, no

 

[MadameLaTigresse]

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 Explosiva9,

I have been using the Ayurvedic Oils, specifically the Gro Aut Oils (bringhraj, mahabringhraj and gro aut) with my MT and OCT regimen and it is working fabulously well! The only side effect is that I have extremely dense new growth and it seems like every week, I get a new layer of waves near my scalp. This is how I monitor my new growth. The MT provides more strength than growth I think but the Gro Aut oils ARE NO JOKE! My hair is sprouting big time and the only way I can control the new growth is when I put MT on my scalp every evening after the Gro Aut oils and then it becomes easier to part my hair.

Hope this helps.

 

[trinidarkie1]

Today I am going to blend up my garlic in JBCO and add it to my concotion of:
WGO, Jojoba Oil, Tea Tree Oil, JBCO and now some MT.
I plan on using the MT on my scalp at night, and this mix before i head to work in the a.m's.
The MT itself leaves a milky white residue, and I tried the Megassaging but I couldn't do it for all dem minutes.. uh uh.

 

[Aggie]

Do you all still support the use of the Premier Creme Rinse? I sure do - I really love how soft it makes my hair feels.

I may try it. Ladies who use both MT and OCT, do you think it would be better for me to use the OCT creme rinse? Not necessarily as they seem to work the same IMO. They smell a little differently to me but they work the same. In fact, because they work the same on my hair, I will only be re-purchasing the OCT cell therapy from now on but maintaining my MT reggie in concert with the OCT.

I was planning on getting the Avocado Mist to spray on my braids underneath my weave. Do you all still think this is a good spray or should I get the rehydrant spray? I do not like how dull the avocado mist made my hair look so I decided to add a little of it to my conditioners sometimes as I use them just to get rid of it. I really do prefer the rehydrant spray a thousand times more. It is quite concentrated IMO so you may need to stretch it like I do with some water. Mine is lasting a whole lot longer as a result. I made a moisturizing recipe that's in my fotki.

My answers are in purple and I have been using my entire MT line for more than 2 months.

 

[Shimmie]

Oooooh Shimmie, your hair is yummy thick from the MT. I can't wait to see your September reveal pics.

Thanks angels

I was really surprised to see the difference so fast and Aggie I can't wait until September

CurlyMoo, I apply the MT to my scalp. I part it in small sections and apply as I would a scalp conditioner. I also oil my scalp first with Castor oil, Emu, Jojoba, or Coconut Oil. I also keep a small container on my night table with a mix of the MT and a little of some of the oils I mentioned above. Depending on my mood, I use either method.

I have to say that a couple of times, I have smoothed MT Oil mix on the length of my hair, but that was only because I didn't want to 'waste' the excess MT/Oil Mixture that was left on my hands. (Make any sense? ). But I don't make it a habit of putting it on the length of my hair.

Also, I've been applying the MT as a 'leave-in' until I Condition wash the next night. With the OCT, I was rinsing it out. This could make a difference on the thickness I've been having so fast. :scratchch: I dunno...

 

[Shimmie]

So Angel Aggie, you really like the Mega Tek 'Rehydrant' spray?

I've been using the Avocado Mist and..... (don't laugh ).... I wasn't ready for the nozzle spray that is 'MADE for HORSES'.

Aggie, that stuff came out in huge squirts and I had a huge blop of the Avocado Mist all over my head and a big mess on my bathroom mirrors. Okay, you can laugh Angel Aggie, cause it was funny, but it caught me off guard.

I have to put the Avocado Mist into a smaller spray bottle made for humans. I have several bottles from Sally's that I can use. It does smell good, but as you shared, it does give my hair a slightly 'dull' appearance. It detangles very well, but I had to smooth a little coconut oil on my hair for the dullness to disappear. As the Avocado Mist dries, it seems to leave a dull coating behind.

When I place my next order for the Mega Tek Rebuilder, I'll order the Rehydrant.

Blessings and hugs to you...

***Laughing about the avocado mist spray all over your head*** That really was funny, thanks for the laugh Shimmie. Just a note of caution, when you get the rehydrant spray - same spray top so you may want to avoid another avocado mist spray episode by using a smaller spray bottle for it as well.

Blessings to you too honey.

That sounds like a really good mix. If I ever purchase JBCO then I will use that in place of my regular castor oil. When I mega'sage I do it maybe for 10 seconds.

I have been using mega tek for about 2 weeks or so now and when I took my hair out there was significant growth! I am very impressed! Add me on this challenge! Who do I pm DSD or TT8?

 

[EMJazzy]

You know how you have just a little bit of product in your containers but too much left to justify throwing it away? Well I decided to play mixologist (again) and my new 4oz container consists of: Amla Oil pomade, Sidr Tree Butter Balm and MT. I will let ya'll know in future posts how my hair/scalp reacts to this mix.

 

[jamaicalovely]

Oh thanks, off to read your recipe.

 

[MissMeWithThatIsh]

I have both MT and OCT.

I've been applying MT nightly... and my edges are definitely furrier.

Today was day two's application. I washed with Nutrine Shampoo and conditioner.
Applied Water Glycerin mix to towel dried hair, Mimosa Hair honey to hair shaft, then Mega Tek to scalp, rub rub on the temples and crown.

FYI, I added Garlic Powder to my WGO and JBCO mix and a lil more tee trea oil.

Applied my WGOGarlicJBCOMix to my roots and hair shaft and ends.

Roller set!
