Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[Shimmie]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie!!, This is my very first post. I have been lurking here for about a month. I must say you ladies have some AMAZING hair , and wonderful growth tips!!, I am a licensed cosmetologist, I stayed in the shop for many years. lol!!, till I got burned out , now i'm a freelance makeup artist. I have gone thru every style, cut, color, weave you can name. Frankly it's been a fun ride but i'm tired of being part of the new hair style a month club. I'm currently growing out of short cut I did last summer , but I have chopped some since then, I'm about 4 to 5 inches all over , I am relaxed , don't know my type cause I don't know where to find the type codes, I tried to upload a pic. , but it didn't work, I need a little help learning to navigate around the site. I just ordered MegaTek & it shipped today!!, I would love to join the challenge ( need help doing that too) thank you ladies .

and Happy Hair Blessings...

I think I'm going to try this but I have to order first. Will check back in when it arrives. Been hearing about this Mega Tek stuff on the board for a minute and now it's eating at me to try it. I have a good oil mix to cut it with (coconut, lavender, nettle, wild cherry bark, carrot and tea tree). Would use the Black Castor Oil but can't find it. Also looking for Sweet Almond Oil too. Any ideas on where to find it?

I'm definitely joining this challenge. Waiting on my money to get in my account so I can order asap. (I've been checking every five minutes ....still not there. I WANT IT NOW!!) You all are so inspirational. I've been trying to read all the post, but I just can't catch up, but I have read all the posts in the progress thread. I cant wait to join you all. I do have a question for you ladies which I couldn't find an answer to, but how often do you all have to clarify when using MT? I clarify with Baking Soda and Water. Shampoo dries my hair out severely and haven't touched it in almost a year. TIA.

Hi Ladies,

I am quietly behind the scenes but I am keeping up the good fight! I just had my hair put in kinky twists for the first time and am starting the MT method by using it on the parts of my hair. I followed the recipe and applying directly to the scalp after oiling it first. I just need to know what is the best way to wash my hair now that it is in twists? Can I do the clarifying shampoo during this time or should I use another method? I especially want to acheive some length because I am 8months post relaxer and I need to get some more hair on my head by December when my husband comes home from Iraq! Thanks for the help and happy growing to everyone.

Welcome flowinlocks, and welcome back, RhapsdyBlu!!! I definitely hope that you are feeling back to your normal self!!

I clarify using baking soda and conditioner (haven't touch shampoo in two years), and I'd say I do it about once a month, once every 6 weeks, or so? It's funny, sometimes I won't even be planning on clarifying, and then I get in the bathroom, and start mixing and touching on my hair, and decide - yah, let me add a touch of baking soda right here! So, listen to your hair, and let it be your guide....

I've been using MT for a week. I must say, this has been a crazy week. I was shedding like CRAZY, but yesterday and today the shedding slowed down a lot. I'm not sure if it slowed down because of the garlic supplements that I started on Sunday, or if the shedding would have slowed down naturally.

I've been applying MT twice a day (morning/evening). Is that too much? I've really stepped up with moisturizing, and I've been cowashing and DCing every other day. I haven't been experiencing any breakage, but I'm wondering if I'm adding too much protein to my hair by applying twice a day. Should I bump it down to once a day?

That sounds like alot. I wouldnt use it more than once a day.

For those of you that relax your hair, do you find that when you use MT that the relaxer does not last long?

I last relaxed my hair two weeks ago and have been using MT for a little over three weeks. You could not tell that I relaxed my hair. Not that it matters to much because I might not relax anymore but do you use something else to keep the hair looking straight?

it was probably the garlic, i started taking them last night and my shedding has decreased by more than half already. i would slow it down if i were you!

OK don't keel me for not taking pictures again but...

OK so in July I started on MT and the front of my hair reached the tip of my nose. I measured again out of curiousity at the end of July/beginning of Aug and my hair in the front reached the top lip. So today 8/19 I check again while I was rollersetting my hair and I noticed that my front hair now reaches my chin. I'm like WTH I finally got my camera to work, my daughter has a 3 month old baby and keeps borrowing it. So I am hoping the front will be way past my chin area by my 1 year anniversary! Mind you, last year when I did the BC my front hair didn't even reach my eyebrows. Woohoo!

I megassaged last night!!! My hair is in twists now, and I think I'm going to get back on track, and twist for the rest of the year.

As JustKiya just said, I'm megasaggin my scalp with it LOL (Kiya you need to add that to wikipedia ha ha)

I am not consistent as I need to be, but I co-wash every night and with my fingers I part my hair in sections and smaller sections and apply the MT directly to my scalp. I then massage a little bit, you will feel a light burning like your head is on fiyah :burning: I then put my hair in a ponytail, braid it and go to bed. In the morning I will wash my hair again and rinse it out. I sometimes will leave it on my scalp 24 hours before washing it out. I am just as shocked as you ladies. I'm going to take a picture and compare it to the Sept 20th picture. Finally took away the damn camera from my daughter! I love my grandbaby but dayum I need my camera.

I thought I as the only one... I am 7 weeks post now and I started using MT at 3 weeks post and it has been hard wearing my hair in a strait style... I upped my leave-in products and hair moisturizer while roller setting and it helped some... I have now given up and now have my hair in a few braids and wear a baseball cap... and wear a braid out in the back... I will be giving myself a touch-up labor day weekend... I will be 8 weeks post by then...

I would like to hear from other ladies also... how do you keep your hair in a nice sleek style... What products do you use?

After my touch-up I may not use it until I am at least 3 weeks post, because I like and I want to enjoy my relaxed hair for a while... I will more than likely use Claudie's growth serum for the first few weeks, because I get good growth from it too ...


PLEASE HELP

TIA

Hey Ladies,

Its week 4 of me using MegaTek. I cant tell if i have growth because I have very coarse hair but it definetely feels like growth. This week i have experienced EXTREME shedding. I recently purchased the alter ego garlic conditioner and used it for the 1st time this past saturday, it helped a little but its not working fast enough!!!! I am going to try DC
2x a week with the Alter Ego and also take one of these garlic supplelements that seem to be working so well for people to combat shedding.

Can anyone reccomend an ORDERLESS garlic supplement. Also, how many MG a day should i consume?

TIA
