Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[Aggie]

Will do! I am using olive oil moisturizer daily and spraying with Ion leave-in Conditioner, and will definately try out your suggestions! My nape area broke off during the Great Weave Experiment of 07/08 , so I am trying to get it to grow back in and catch up with the rest of my hair. My hair is always dry,so using extra moisture is a must.

I took these pics today:

This is a nice starting point My, and make sure to take a proper shot of the back of your hair combed out and down to keep track of your damaged nape area and it's growth as well. I would recommend massaging that area a little longer too to stimulate faster growth there. HTH.

Hi all,
I've been using MT for about a week now and one thing I'm worried about is the application. Since I CO wash daily I know it's getting washed out, which isn't a problem. The problem is trying to apply it to my scalp only, massaging it in without getting it on the rest of my hair. I'm letting it sit in over night on the scalp, I never apply it to the rest of my hair only about once during the week. I have noticed that my hair has had better elasticity with the combination of the daily CO washes and the MT, but I dont want to over do the protein because I am very protein sensitive. Trying to part my hair while it is still wet and very curly is difficult without breaking my hair. I appreciate the elasticity I've gotten though. I've done all of the protein moisture tests on my hair and it has NEVER shrank back after stretching it out. After a week of using MT it has! This is a good thing, right? If so, then thanks MT! Any suggestions abovut the applicatioin, should I be worried?

Oh, and thanks to everyone who suggested to use Garlic to stop the shedding!! I took 3000mg of garlic starting last week, my hair stopped shedding on the second day!!! I was getting a little fur ball of hair, and now I only get about 10-20 strings, MUCH MUCH better than the hundreds that were just falling out!!!

For those of you who have not been posting in the September reveal thread, I thought I'd copy and paste my post over there over here, so here it is:

Okay ladies, here goes nothing. This is my 2.5 months progress as of June 9th, 2008. I actually started to use my MT on June 15th I think, because I was waiting for it to arrrive in the mail when I took the June 9th pic.

My ultimate hair goal is to reach MBL by October next year (2009) for my 41st birthday (4 inches away - my upper torso is quite long) and I desperately want to reach BSL December this year. I have about 1.5 to 2 inches to go for that. Wish me luck on that.

Now on to business about my hair. As you know ladies, I cut my "V" off about 2 and half weeks ago. I mean it was an actual "V" down there. Now before you ladies start attacking me, I already said I won't be cutting it off for the December 1st reveal if it insist on growing back like that again.

Now that I'm looking at my hair this way, I regret having cut it but I do absolutely LOOOOOOOVE the thickness. This is what I have been striving for for soooo long. And imagine what will happen when I get my WEN hair products for my 40th birthday in October. I am so excited about JN's progress with WEN, so yes, I want to order it in time for my birthday.

Okay you fined haired ladies out there, listen up. You have to try this product. It really is awesome. I have been alternating the OCT with the MT both massaging on my scalp nightly and using on the length of my hair after pooing as a mini treatment followed by a deep moisturizing conditioning treatment about 2 - 3 times a week. I think I will have to purchase the gallon sized jug afterall because of how I'm using it now. I noticed that it made my hair look a lot healthier and shinier too. Girl dem horses gat to be jelly of our hair right now.

Anyways, sorry about the long post ladies so don't mind me....carry on.

ETA: My hair actually has a little weight now. When I lift and raise it with my hands, it actually feels a little heavy. I haven't experienced this before. I love it. Thanks to all my MT/OCT sistas that supported me over in the Sept reveal thread.

I don't wear my hair natural belle, so hopefully one of the natural ladies will chime in for you. Calling out JustKiya, Nice & Wavy, anyone?

Hey,

I know I'm dreaming, but.....

Just checking if someone had Ovation Cell Therapy somewhere collecting dust. I'm really looking forward to trying this with Megatek. Name your price.

I want to try Ovation really bad as well. . .

 

[JustKiya]

belle_reveuse -

I've really no help with the application - I use just a tiny bit on my fingertip, and my hair is usually in two strand twists, so it's pre-parted. erplexed I've never tried applying MT while my hair is wet, as I don't like to manipulate it loose, then.

My hair is protein sensitive as well, but I don't worry too much about over-proteining it with MT, because I am so heavy handed with the moisture.

Shrinking back after stretching is a very, very, very good thing!!

 

[rhapsdyblu]

OK, I took my pix tonight. Although I am frustrated that my edges are not lush & full & my hair when stretched is not down to my ankles, I think I am progressing.

The first and last pictures were taken end of June, 3rd pic in July & the 2nd and 4th were taken a few minutes ago (8/31/08 around 8 PM PDT).

BTW, JN & genesis132, Aggie you hair looks lovely. Great progress.

JustKiya, I am trying to catch you, girl. <I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...>

ALl the amazing progress you ladies are making is truly inspirational! My hair must be getting some too b/c it seems like it takes more to moisturize now and I can put my hair in two (tiny) ponytails!

Great progress. Such an inspiration.

 

[SouthernStunner]

Great progress to all. Unfortunately I can not post a Sept. pic cause I just got my MT a week ago and I haven't used it cause I am due for a perm this week. But bet your bottom dollar I will be ready for the Dec. reveal......unless I get my braids in cause I am trying to stretch my relaxer as well.

All of you guys are such an inspiration to me!

 

[hothair]

Hi all,
I've been using MT for about a week now and one thing I'm worried about is the application...

Use an applicator bottle, like a colour applicator bottle works perfectly

[blazingthru]

I am going to start over again, I got so much shedding when I took my twist out that it isn't worth taking pictures, But my hair did get thicker. but it was just to much shedding I am still so shocked at how much hair has come out of my head. So I won't post until October Nov,

 

[jamaicalovely]

I can't believe after 2 months of using MT, I 'm finally feeling the itchies.

Quiet JustKiya

 

[BostonMaria]

I gave half of my MT to my sister yesterday. I told her how to use it and I'm really hoping it works for her.

I want to post a Sept 23rd picture and I probably won't straighten my hair till then. I hope its down to my waist! LOL Hey a girl can dream..

JamaicaLovely, my scalp finally stopped itchin with MT! I think I got used to it.

Girl rhaps, your hair looks soooo good honey. I love your progress.

 

[Aggie]

Your hair looks FANTASTIC! dang your hair makes me want to relax again!

...but I don't think I will.

Thanks honey. No don't relax if you are happy with your natural hair. I like my hair relaxed and it seemed like since using MT, I have to relax sooner than my usual 12-14 weeks. This last time I made it to only 10 weeks post relaxer.

 

[joib]

Hi Aggie, your progress pics looks fantastic. I have a question. I bought Garlic pills from GNC and plan to start taking them today. Do you think I should also use the garlic shampoo and if so do they sell it at a BSS?

 

[*closer*2*my*dreams*]

I won't be posting either (I just started the other day); but I definitely will be posting in december! You ladies are such an inspiration and I hope to have increased growth AND thickness!

 

[*closer*2*my*dreams*]

I bought garlic pills too (kyolic pills from whole foods) and even though i just started using them on last saturday (august 24) i've noticed minimal shedding as opposed to how i shed before... so for me, i don't see a need for the garlic shampoo and conditioner.

Congratulations on this great progress!
