Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[napgurl]

Argg these white hairs are so annoying. I have a few new ones right in the front, my friend even noticed them & I'm only 20. When did the white hairs stop appearing for you guys (if they ever did)?

Me too I have a white patch in the front.

8.22 edits in red. i just realized my post was off by a week.
here is my one month progress....okay, um, what was I thinking this is my 21-25th day progress. I can’t remember if I started using megatek 8/15 or 8/17. i really didn't think my hair had grown more than the normal growth i get a month, but it looks like i MAYBE got a bit more. i normally get .5"+ i'm still a skeptic that it's working for ME, so i'll have to see what happens next month. either way it's a good protein treatment.

i've been using it like a "grease" everyday or every other day...when i remember. i follow that up ALWAYS with my moisturizing spray mix i make.
this is as close to one moth pics i have.

i have in fresh braids and i won't be taking them down just to see my growth. i started using mega tek around 7.15, so a few days off of my start picture won't really make a visible difference.

so I guess it really does work, huh?

I have been off the board for a while, but thank God I came back to read about the wonderful results many of you are getting from these two products.


I ordered mine and just got it today and I"ll be starting today/right now.

Hopefully I'll get great results as many of you have.

Thanks for all the tips.

Dreamerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....welcome back girlie!

I'm so happy you have ordered MT....I'm excited for you.

Don't forget to take a before picture, ok?

Blessings and its good to see you back on!

Yes I notice that my fingernails grew very quickly. I just cut them back down again then they seem to grew even faster. I don't even massage it in my finger so I guess them getting exposed to the treatment everyday is helping it grow.

Thanks Trudy,

I have to cut my nails more 'often' as well. I keep a mini manicure kit in my purse and a small cuticle cream. The MT nourishes the skin as well, but that means more 'cuticles' to push back.

Sometimes I use a little warm olive oil on my hands and cover with clear plastic gloves; the results....smooth hands and cuticles.

"Mega" Blessings to you, angel and to daughter and coming baby.

My hair has gotten thicker, and I've been using it on my scalp, only.

Thanks JustKiya!! Are you still rotating OCT and MT?

 

[genesis132]

I'm using the MT. @ the bold, do you mean gray hairs are good? If so, why is that?

You may want to go back and read some of the older posts in the thread...Im not that technical and really can't describe what some of the ladies experienced...but eventually the hair turned back it's original color...

 

[EMJazzy]

I still have my one bottle from when I began. You don't need alot to get the job done. I do also alternate it with OCT, so that does help. I figure about Nov, I will be on my second bottle.

I must be doing something wrong. erplexed I don't want to thin it out anymore than it already is because it'll be too watery for me. Hmmm, I'll think of something. :scratchch

Other Ladies who have noticed their hair getting thicker with MT please chime in here too and let me know if your only applying to the scalp or entire strand to get this thickness??

My hair is definitely getting thicker and I only apply my MT mix on my scalp. I suspect that some 'run off' is getting on the rest of my strands when I massage my scalp then put on my baggy for the night.

Yup, there is a definite difference in the length for sure ladylady. Keep it up honey, you're doing great.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Your hair has gotten longer.....keep up the good work girl!

Alrighty then!!! Now, I think you mentioned that you apply MT as a leave-in as well. Am I correct? I'm wondering if I need to do this as well to thicken my strands or does applying to the scalp only makes the strand thicker, too??

Hi Angel'....

Yes I apply the Mega Tek to my scalp as a leave-in. It seems to be (again.... Key word here is 'seems') to be making my entire head of hair thicker. I don't know how to explain it, but the pictures that I posted are the resulting evidence of two weeks of use.

"Mega" blessings to you Genesis

Ladies I first started using Mega Tek in 1999. I used it for one year. Why I stopped. Hated the smell of the intense coconut. Did not figure out how to get around the smell at that time. Anyway. It is good stuff cause it got me through some of the worst part of the Hair Problems I was having as mentioned in my Fotki.

The reason why some get INTENSE SHEDDING, is due to NOT FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS. Using it every day is taking chances. One day a week and leave it in is best if you only shampoo once a week. But more than twice between shampooing and deep conditioning may have negative effects for some. Just wanted to give a heads up. This was warned about years ago by horse owners as well.

I am starting up again but added a drop of lime essential oils and guess what...I now like the smell. bonjour

 

[lilsparkle825]

hmm...so i washed out my rollerset today and i had so much shed hair on my hands when i washed out my DC. i was seriously afraid...and the more disturbing thing was that when i was checking the strands (and you know i was looking for bulbs) a lot of it was breakage. idk what is going on but i'm about to go read Supergirl's breakage thread; tomorrow i will go get some garlic powder and do the treatment Shimmie suggested in this thread, and i will skip 2 nights of megassaging. it's wet bunning for the rest of the month for me!

thanks for the info...hmm maybe i should invest in the ovation since its not recommended to use megatek every day?I can use those two in rotation and start back dc and washing twice a week?

 

[blazingthru]

Ok... i got an email from neeps. They are out of stock. Does anyone else know where I can get the gallon sized rebuilder from? KV is out of stock too...



I know ya'll heffas did this on purpose!

Yes girl I was saying the same darn thing they did it on the purpose. I can't find any either.

 

[JustKiya]

I'm finally back home, and ready to jump back on the wagon. My hair is shedding like GANGBUSTERS though - almost double my normal amount, which is odd. I think I'm going to chalk it up to traveling, for right now, and keep an eye on things. I'm lazy, and unless I can find a good, shelf-stable source of garlic oil to add to my mix, I don't plan on doing anything about it for now.

My shed hairs though, are getting so long, it's amazing! I can't really 'see' the difference on a day to day - it's so gradual, and there's the shrinkage, of course - but on a single shed hair, it's a HUGE difference.

 

[blazingthru]

I have had no issues with shedding none, but then I am in twist would the sides and stuff where the new growth show if Iam having a problem?

 

[KPH]

Ovation just sent out a keep using the cell therapy email. I know for a fact that I have given them 10 customers and 1 has ordered the maximum system at least 4 times for her and her daughter. They need to be giving me something.

I hope you get that shedding sorted

Ok… So why do I think I am hallucinating? I know what it is; I never pick my hair out.
When I did this morning it looked longer and thicket Yah. That’s what it is.

I just started using MT Sunday with a mix of Castor Oil, Vitamin E, sesame seed oil, coconut oil, and mustard oil.

My head was/is itching like crazy. I am trying to figure out if that is growth or dryness.

 

[Ganjababy]

Carlee from Ovation said recently that soon customers can join up to get the system regularly and this would include free shipping. Like joining the Ovation club.


Twice now I have had a bump on my scalp........like a big painful zit. Either from clogged pores (or as I like to think, from fast growth-yeah I know, I am a bit delusional). I had to stop OCT for 2 days and then it would go. I think I am gonna try and apply every other day even though I don't get as fast a growth when I apply less than daily.

 

[JustKiya]

I hope you get that shedding sorted

You just made me think of something else too - I actually might not be shedding all that much more - because my hair is getting LONGER! So, what USED to be two or three shed strands of hair, could now be just ONE shed strand.

*sucksteeth* I'm sooooooooooo not counting shed hairs, srsly, I'm not.

An auto-ship option from Ovation is a great idea!

Evsbaby, did you share the information about the bump with Carlee when you spoke to her? Be careful. I hope it not anything to be concerned about.

No I did not because I know I am not using the product as directed. I just think it is clogged pores from product build-up even though I wash every other day, it goes away when I don't apply for 2 days.

Are you in denial? Two words- Mega head I can't wait to see your update on Sep 1st! I bet your hair is looking gorgeous- as usual

I am dying to cut my hair again because I still have some relaxed ends I want to get rid of but I am trying to wait until Sep 1st update. I cut in March and did 2 trims since then. I am so loving my new growth that I just want all the texlaxed bits off.

Girl, I'm so deep in denial it's not even funny. I've been kinda - not taking pics, at all, because I just know that I'm going to be sorely disappointed by my growth, and because I know how shrinkage is, and I'm sooooooooo not pressing my hair. *sigh* I'm not going to believe until I look up and I'm APL, or something. And then, I'm paranoid that as soon as I take a picture that documents any growth, I'm going to get setbacks, and my hair is going to start breaking, or something crazy is going to happen. Yes, yes, yes, I'm very much headinthesand, tyvm!

INTERESTING!!! I've been in braids and really can't guage how much shedding I've had with Ovation....

 

[trinidarkie1]

I skipped my MT application last night. I was just too tired, and I can feel the buildup. So I may just have to wash and apply tonight.

 

[Silver]

Sorry for bugging ya about this again, but can any Canadians tell me how long it took them to receive their MT from Hopes braids, maybe before he went on vacation and ran out? The vacation and running out is making the wait really long and I'm afraid it's going to be a month waiting. I can't drive anywhere any long so I can't really go out and buy it.
