Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega-Tek Challenge

[MzLady78]

I think the links to the inspiration threads are in the first post - tt8 has been pretty good about keeping that one a stockpile of useful information...

Oh okay, thanks!

I kinda glossed over it, then got overwhelmed by the fact that this thread is so long, LOL.

Thanks,

Here we go. My sister replied and this is what she says:

As for the picture- sure- why not, go ahead and use it, no biggie. When it comes to my regimen... Lets see- i don't take supplements regularly... not even the biotin... maybe once or twice a week if I remember. I use the MT on my scalp about 3-4 times a week. I'm 5 1/2 months post relaxer. I've chopped off about 5-6 inches since march. About week before i took the first picture i chopped off the most and couldn't do my braids because my hair was so short (had to add fake hair)- now i can do them- no problem.

My MT concoction- is a random mix of stuff. no measuring just pouring stuff in.
it has:

Alma Oil
Brahmi Oil
Camelia Oil
Rosehip Oil
Profective Growth Renew (got it at walgreens)
Mara Visus Ampolla Anticaida
mix it all in a long tip applicator bottle.

(i just made a new batch and added some honeyquat)


When i do take my supplements (probably 1-2 times a week) well you know me- I take boatload.

-MSM 1000 or 2000 mg
-Biotin 5000 mg
-flaxseed oil 1000mg
-collagen c- 3-6 tablets
-vitamin B complex (B1, B2, Niacin, B6, Folic Acid, B12, Pantothenic Acid)
-fenugreek & Thyme capsule 500mg*
-nettle root extract 250mg*
-pomegranate 250mg
-Aloe Vera 250mg
-grape seed extract 25mg
-alpha lipoic Acid 600mg
-Iron 18mg

( * i read somewhere that they are good for your hair)
(the last 5, I am taking for my skin and for lung health)

As for washing and co washing...
I wash 1-2 times a week. I use whatever shampoo i can find, although the day I started using the MT i used a clarifying shampoo to prep my scalp. I've done the co-wash thing but don't do it very often. When i do, i wash my scalp with Nioxin Smooth Actives Moisturizing Scalp Therapy (those gray bottles i bought at TJMaxx- remember? It has teatree oil (i think) because it makes my scalp tingle when i use it- so it feels clean when i'm done co-washing. for conditioners- well thats a tough one because i use whatever i grab first out of the conditioner bag, but i try to leave it on for 10-20 minutes (no heat). If i leave it on for longer my hair gets too soft and i can't braid my hair well!! - the ones i use the most are:
Mizani Moisturefuse
Mizani Hydrafuse
Miss Key Barro y Arzilla
Crece Pelo

For leave-in I use either:
A little brazilian keratin treatment
Sedal keraforce
Infusion Moisture restoration

My hair isn't shedding much- but it is breaking because i'm not relaxing it anymore. The breakage isn't too bad, even when i BRUSH my wet hair (yes i brush my hair when it'swet, the natural hair is easier to detangle with a brush!)

I let my hair air dry- or I help it along a bit with a blow drier (i used the blow drier for the pics because it helps straighten it out a bit so I can see the length better- SHRINKAGE IS A *****!)

Then I do my cornrows, braid in my hair- and thats it!

Here are the pics

Wow!!! Tell your sister that's some seriously impressive growth - her ends filled in a lot too!!

 

[Cookie67]

Hello All. I'm interested in purchasing, but I want to make sure that I'm getting the right product. Is it the cell rebuilder?

Yes, that's it.

Yeah, what she said + ++ that's a lotta for such a short period of time, and sis for letting us see your pics.

Congratulations on your wonderful progress too.

 

[Mz.Shug]

I'm getting a relaxer on Wed. is it okay to use mega tek immediatly after or do I need to wait a bit. Sorry, i know someone asked this awhile back but it's too many pages to look through.

You can apply MT and OCT immediately following a relaxer. Protein on the hair right after the relaxer is actually recommended for rebuilding the cuticle bonds purposes.

Hi;

Thanks for welcoming me to the group. Sorry it's been a while since I posted but my father past last week and I didn't have the time nor desire to be online. I'm back to work and although still mourning, ready to keep moving forward because I know thats what he would want.

Ok, so I got my MT today and I will be mixing it with emu oil, rosemary, and carrot oil. Also will be putting in some alter ego rejuvenator or something my mom bought me thats suppose to be put on the scalp. I will be applying it as London Diva does, everyday, and hopefully the itch will not drive me insane. If it does, I may need to do every other day cause I can't deal with itchy scalp. Right now I wash and deep condition twice a week and I pre-poo with this Cuban (I am Cuban-Puerto Rican) oil treatment made with 7 oils my mom makes for me. I also apply a little every other night to the length as a sealer. LOVE IT! I use all Alter Ego or Salerm products. When I'm broke, I use the cheapy stuff, usually tresemme, but thats only on an emergency basis. I'm also a hairstylist and after experimenting with my hair for yrs and causing it so much damage "trying the new and hottest trends", I'm going back to the simple stuff that made my hair grow like a weed. I'm also going back to working out, and the only supplements I take are a multi-vit, hair/skin/nails, iron, flaxseed when I remember.

I don't have any pics of the back of my hair but it's just grazing APL.
But these are some before pics. My hair looks the same just a bit longer.

[JustKiya]

Welcome back Explosiva - so sorry to hear about your loss!

 

[LondonDiva]

That is so sad. I'm really sorry to hear of your loss also.

 

[explosiva9]

Thank you so much. Its hard but i gave myself all last week to be a hot mess so although it still isn't any easier, I'm trying not to break down. Gonna be hard with fathers day lurking but i'm just keeping busy and trying not to think about it.

 

[Armyqt]

That's it. I broke down and ordered the 6oz system this morning. I've used Mega Tek and the Avocado Mist in the past, but I never put it on my scalp. It helps to make my hair thicker and stronger. It does dry the hair out though. That's why I wasn't consistent I guess. I can't wait for this stuff to come in the mail. I haven't paid attention to my hair in over 1 yr and have undergone severe shedding for a long period of time. I'll take a before pic when I get started and see where I end up in 30 days.

Thanks for sharing your progress pics ladies. Your growth is amazing.

 

[Aquafina]

My MT came today! I'm gonna apply tonite.

My hair hasn't dried out with the Mega Tek, but I mix castor oil and SAA in with it and only apply it on my scalp.

[Cassandra1975]

explosiva9, so sorry to hear about your dad.

I was just about to come in here and post to see if anyone was mixing the MT with emu oil for application to the scalp, and I saw your post. I didn't think about adding rosemary. I don't know if I have any left; I have banned myself from going to Home Economist for the next 30 days - every time I go in there I come out with 6 more things on top of the one thing I went for. Went the other day to get the emu oil, came out with that, an applicator bottle, two sticks of tinted lip gloss, and this stuff called Nikki's Soul Tress. Truly a mess!

 

[explosiva9]

Thank you all!

And I forgot to post this earlier but you ladies have beautiful hair. Those update pics are amazing. I'm a lil jealous but i got my fresh supply of hair products and got my MT so I will be at your level real soon.:eyebrows2

After reading the ENTIRE thread, there were a couple of posts where some ladies mixed with emu, but then again i may be mistaking it for another thread, lol. Anyway, i was worried about the dryness everyone keeps talking about and I already have dry scalp so i'm adding a lil so to avoid it.

I'm currently at APL, soooo, am I pushing it to set a goal for MBL by 12/08?

Happy growing

PS- Applied my mix and from the looks of it I may have O.D. on the oils, lol. My fear of dryness took over and I got a lil heavy handed with the oil but the mix smells delicious and aside from taking the time to part and apply, I think I can do this!! And i don't know why but for some reason I expected my scalp to immediately start reacting. I do feel tingly but i think its more from the massage than the mix. I just hope I don't become neurotic about it as I tend to get about everything. Sorry for the long post.

Welcome back Explosiva9. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and I wish you well.

Oh, you look so pretty in your photos. Your regimine sounds really good and moisturizing is very important while using MegaTek.
Happy Hair Growing.

I'm using Emu Oil in my mix as well.

Just wanted to post a couple of pics. First, I apologize because the hairstyles are not similar, but I hope you can see the growth. All I can say is that mt works. I've been trying to use mt on my hair daily, but it doesn't always happen. When I wash my hair once a week I use the entire OCT system.

 

[lane]

My condolescenes go out to you and your family. BTW, you hair is very pretty!
