Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[JustKiya]

Just wanted to share my MT mix. In a 4oz jar....

castor oil
emu oil
jojoba oil
garlic oil
and of course MT

One teaspoon of each of the oils and I filled the rest of the container with MT, mix thoroughly and lightly applied to my scalp.

I added the garlic oil to my topical mix because I didn't want to add anymore supplements to what I am already taking since I had a bad reaction to CLO and D-3.

When I detangled this morning I literally only had 3 hairs in my comb.

I hope I am as successful as the majority of the challengers.

Oh, that's a brilliant idea to add the garlic oil right to your mix! Is it very strong smelling? Did you see Aggie's earlier post about the long term safety of garlic oil?

Yes I saw her post, there is no smell at all. I used Odorless Garlic softgels by Sundown Naturals. I poked a hole in 10 of the soft gels and squirted the contents in my MT mix. The expiration date on the soft gels is Jan 2011. I will be using the mix everyday so hopefully it won't go bad before I use it up. :scratchch

^^^ that is a good idea, just wonder will the garlic decrease the amount of growth you get when mixed w/ the mega-tek

Hi ladies,

While using ovation or Mega tek did the product seem to change your texture? I heard people saying that their new growth is softer. However did it change the curl pattern or texture? If so, how?


I'm currenlty using ovation, however I'm currently wearing cornrows, and I'm not sure of what I'm feeling...it seems like growth though...but doesnt seem like the growth I'm used too. My hair is really mosit from s-curl, so i'm going to let the s-curl dry out some more, and feel again

Mine seem to be a little looser but like deep waves almost and it really is a little softer - not a lot but a little. Thankfully I'll take whatever softness I can get at this point - I'm 5 and a half weeks post my last relaxer.

I wouldn'tworry about that because the garlic oil is an added benefit used along with the MT. I think it's genius actually, especially because the garlic gel EMJazzy is using is odorless. Less is more in her case because she just skipped a whole step by infusing one with another without sacificing her hair being shed. Genius I say, just genius. Let us know how it goes EMJazzy.

Well in that case... that is a good idea, actually that is a genius idea.. simply genius.

Okay the new growh i feeling seems to be less bulkier that my normal growth, so i'm not sure if it';s all growth or some slippage. however i'm not sure how cornrows can slip.

I want my hair to grow so bad, I wan to braid my hair untill december and then do the big reveal...lol

I have been taking garlic tabs

Okay ladies, I thought that I'd let you all know that I just started using my OCT last night. I completed 2 months of MT and now I am going to be using OCT for the next 6 weeks until our September 1st reveal. Now I need to go check out Nice & Wavy's reggie, which I think she said she oils her scalp first with what I don't remember.

N&W, which oil you use again to oil your scalp before OCT application? I noticed that it leaves my hair/scalp looking a little dryer than my MT, but that could be because I had my MT diluted in moisturizers and oils. Well anyways, my MT is very low and not much left in the bottle.

I just ordered 2 more bottles of MT and awaiting their arrival in the mail. My next mix will not be so diluted anymore. I will be using it as close to straight as possible when they arrive. I just need to see if there will be a difference in my hair growth if done this way for a while. I'm taking progress pics as I go along but will not post up my comparison reveal pics until September 1st, 2008.

Hey Ladies

I just received my MT today, but I don't know if I got the one you r all using, on the bottle it says MEGA-TEK Equine Rebuilder Thicker Fuller Longer Manes & Tails COAT...HOOF. It doesn't say cell rebuilder, is it the good one? I will still be using the OCT, I will be alternating 1 day MT 1 day CT. And I'll use the whole maximising system once a week.

Thanks

I'm\looking forward to seeing your results. I know you will be able to give us alot of feeback on the pros and cons of each product, and how your hair responded to the products. You are very good at ananlyzing-I love that about you!

I have been using ovation for about 2.5 weeks almost 3 weeks. My Mega Tek whould be arriving soon. I want to use my Ovation for 4 weeks total and then use Mega tek for 4 weeks and compare. However, knowing me I wont want to wait, i may just alternate between the two, but then I wont know which one really works.

I also have some lenzi request and bt left, I'm going to add just a little to the Mega tek and Ovation because they are descent products and I dont want to waste them

This should be fun.

That sounds like the same bottle I have. Eqyss has changed their labels 50-11 times, and I don't know if any of the websites have current pics of the actual bottles they are mailing out.

R U seeing anything from the Ovation yet?

Thanks JustKiya, I just finished massaging my scalp with my MT mix, I added Castor oil and EVOO, SL here I come!!!

Guys, I need suggestions on a good conditioner for co-washing. I use Burt's Bee's moisturizing shampoo and conditioner on my hair, but it's the conditioner isn't good for my hair. It leaves my scalp still feeling dirty.

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

I love the cheapies, personally - Suave, V05, White Rain.

One thing I have learned about cowashing - in order to get your hair really clean, you have to leave it on longer than you would a regular shampoo. It's a slower/gentler process than shampoo'ing, so it's going to take a little longer - at least 10-15 minutes, I find, I have to leave it on, before it'll leave me feeling 'clean'. If the leaving in on longer doesn't work, I'll add a dab (teaspoon, maybe) of baking soda to the conditioner - shiny clean!

Thanks Senegalese. I already noticed that the OCT is leaving my scalp a litttle dry hence the reason for wanting to oil my scalp first. I think I might use jojoba oil or almond for that purpose. I'll let you know.

ITA with JK. I myself use Suave humectant and tropical coconut and V05 almost everything and to me they really offer a lot of slip and most importantly, they are void of cones which is also really great.

I don't pre-oil my scalp. Don't mix MT with anything either. I just use it straight up.

I've been getting good growth from it too.

me too...i oiled my scalp the first time i used it but then i mixed like 20 drops in the applicator bottle and i think this is good. i may not add any more after this 4oz runs out.

i have been letting my sister do mine and i think she is heavy handed cause today i scratched my scalp and there was stuff under my nails...eeeeewwww...and i know my scalp was clean beforer the megatek. BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE...i had to redo a twist in the back cause all my twists are loose. i think they were initially loose but not like this...i am excited...me, my mom AND my sister all didnt apply last night so when i do theirs tonight i will see if my sister's twists look looser since i did hers tight on purpose. oh and the itch is killing me.

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

Question!

If I apply MT to my scalp only twice a week before rollersetting and rinsing it out after 5 min., will I still see results?

I need to get my hands out of my hair so I am about to do twice weekly rollersetting.

See, I always pop into this thread just at the right times!! This is pure smartness right here! I put 50-11 other things in my MT, never crossed my mind to use garlic oil!! Thanks for the value add!!!!!

 

[sweetgal]

R U seeing anything from the Ovation yet?

I honestly think I might be! I have not applied the scurl for about 1 day. This allows me to feel my roots more, because they are not moist and soft. It feels like growth, but i'm currently wearing cornrows and dont want to jump the gun. I'm only 2.5 weeks post relaxer and normally dont feel growth until my 5 weeks and then the growth is very noticable. So if i'm experiencing growth now...I have found the answers to my prayers...

I hope this is growth...

Oh God bless you Nice & Wavy. I used my OCT straight up on dry scalp last night and I felt like I was using too much product and now tonight I did it the way you do yours by oiling my scalp first and guess what? I used far less product tonight than I did last night. The OCT just simply glide on my scalp like oil on water. Ican't believe how nice this feels compared to last night. Not only that, my scalp still felt dry last night even after I had put the OCT on and tonight, much much better. Also, it was so much easier parting my hair tonight than last night because of the oil. Okay, I'll be doing it like this from now on. Smooches honey.

 

[thinkpinkprincess]

sooooo.... I just bought some Mega Tek!!!! woot woot!

 

[PuffyBrown]

I am hoping that your hair is growing. Wouldn't that be so awesome.

I am 1 week post and I can distintly feel my first wave starting to form. I aint saying nuthing, its summer and my hair grows faster in the summer,I am just going to enjoy the ride until my next TU and hope and pray that it is visibly longer.
