Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[Miss Priss]

Clarifying and chelating are similar, in that they are both removing build-up from hair.

The difference is that chelating removes mineral buildup (from hard water, nolye relaxers, swimming, etc), while clarifying only removes product buildup (silicones, oils, dirt, etc).

Most clarifying products do not chelate, but most chelating products do clarify.

HTH!

THANK YOU Kiya for sharing your knowledge. I feel a little bit smarter now!!

Glad it is not just me going crazy! *sigh* I'll do what I have to do and if that means $60 to get me to APL---so be it!

Same thing happened to me. I used OCT and after about 4 weeks of use I started to get 1" growth per month (so after the 1st month I started getting 1" per month from 2nd month onwards, my usual growth is less than 1/2"/month). I then switched to MT and used for a 4-6 weeks and did not get any growth spurt at all (maybe I would have seen progress if I waited another 4 weeks?). I am back on OCT now (did not like MT) but dont think I will be getting 1" a month because I have been slacking off and applying 2-4 times per week instead of every day as I initially did.

Yeah girl---u might be going back to the OCT too....but u might wanna give the MT a fair chance

Oh dear-this is not good news! Me afriad. I think I have gotten growth from ovation, I used for about 3.5 weeks while in cornrows. (I'm hesistant to say anything, but it reallys seems I got some growth. i recently started using mega tek and have been using it for half a week. I knew it was a bad idea to use two things at once, (if it works you wont know which one)

I still have alot of ovation left. i think I will mis some and use it every other day if need be!

Ladies my sclap is sore, especially in certain areas. I normally suffer from a sore tight scalp on occassion and only in the middle of my crown...But now it something new...sore almost like a relaxer burn! Anyone else experiences this sensation?

 

[trinidarkie1]

Before I post in the vendors thread, I have to tell you guys. I went to the BSS to get my Etae caramel treatment.
I've called there during the week asking if they carried certain products, okay so I know the man is asian and he may not understand what I am saying. So I spelt and repeated several times. He sounded like he didn't want to be bothered, but I figured, who wouldn't want more business.

So I ordered the Nutrine products from www.beautyofnewyork.com instead because He said they didn't have it.

Lo and Behold I roll up in the BSS and it's there. So I took it to him and explained that I'd called and I wanted these and would have bought them, but he said they didn't carry them. He refused to make eye contact with him and started grumbling and waving me off, 'Oh we get many calls, whatever!'

The sad thing about it is, it's the only BSS in a Black Suburban neighbourhood. So ppl are still going to go even if he acts like this on the regular. My gf who lives in the area said he was being so rude, and he's always like that.

I just wasted $4 in shipping charges when I Could have gotten the product there. Geez!

Garlic, Garlic, Garlic to the rescue. It really works! Just mix a little garlic powder (not garlic salt ) with your favorite oil to make a loose paste. apply to your hair and scalp; Cover with a plastic cap / Leave on for at least an hour. Wash / Rinse / Condition / Rinse / Dry your as usual / Put hair into a protective style. That's it. It really stops / reduces the shedding completely.

Enjoy using your Mega Tek and / or Ovation Hair Care system.

I love these products

What a great tip. Ive used garlic shampoo but I need quicker results - especially when dealing with shedding. Thanks

How much is the gallon of MT, did they say?

 

[trinidarkie1]

No Ma'am they did not. I can find that out when I go. I guess they might have a catalogue. However, one of those websites give u free shipping if you have more than $50 in purchases.

 

[MissNina]

Okay so whyyyyyyy is MT changing my texture so much so quick? I think I'm a 3b/4a and it's like my 4as are being converted over to my 3bs or something. IDK It's really weird. I put my hand in my hair and was like, "Whose hair is this?" . . .it was quite freaky actually lol.

I can't believe I've only used it three times so far and I have more growth already!!! My hair is slightly itchy at random times too erplexed but I guess it's worth it Hopefully I'll be at APL right on schedule!

And so far so good on the Lekair usage from the other day...but I wouldn't really know b/c I stay in a bun or half wig. lol But I'm definitely going to try that garlic powder thing, Shimmie. I noticed a little bit more shedding but not too much.

[twnz&1mo]

I need to know if it's ok if I don't moisturize everyday? I cowashed my hair yesterday and did a braidset that I sealed with castor oil on the ends and Hyrdatherma on the length and my hair today still feels moisturized. I applied the MT to my scalp tonight and I'm just going to put on my satin bonnet. I'm thinking since I have 1/2 oz's of castor, jojoba, and evoo I should be ok, but ladies let me know. But my hair feels really nice and I don't want to look slick haired again like I did the first time.

Trini, I'm sorry you were treated so rudely. I've stopped going to the BSS's who have no curtesy for me as a customer. I'd rather order online and pay the shipping.

You know there are enough of us here on this forum alone, to have our own Beauty Supply Stores and support each other. I've just about had enough of giving my money to Asians who could give a fly fig about me or my culture.

I still can't figure out how we as beautiful black people have been hood-winked and cheated out of this business venture. WE are the patrons, therefore we should be the Vendors.

Anyhoooooooo, I'm on a rant because of how you were treated. It's not right, and it seems to me that we should own what we consume.

Blessings and hugs to you trini. Angel, next time, pay the shipping and put the fool who was so rude to you out of business.

You'll be fine. DC at least 3 times a week. My schedule can be very hectic and I've gone as long as a week, because I got home so late, that I was too tired to do anything to my hair.

It still grew.........

And that's exactly what it is I'm real tired from starting a new job, and have a 8 month old that's getting into everything. I figure as long as my hair feels juicy (moistured) I'm ok. Thank goodness the twins are in TX with their donor, but I need them back I miss my babies. They are 9 and too funny. I call them buy one get one free.

Awwwwwwww, you have a baby. I love babies. You are too cute about the 'donor'; I didn't catch it at first. You have a beautiful family.

As for your hair regime, you're doing a great job with your new methods. Just do what you can and leave the rest to 'prayer' and nature. Through love and prayer God grows hair faster than anything. That's what I do

I dedicate my hair products to Him and pray for His loving touch upon my head and hair, that He will make it grow without a care. On the nights when I'm just too tired...He does the rest and gives us His very best.

God bless you twnz&1mo, and your family.

While you are sleeping your hair is growing and flowing in God's loving hands. Amen.

Oh Shimmie, you're soooooo right! I need to talk to God about my hair and include him in on this venture. Thanks for the words of widsom.

 

[napgurl]

Ladies my sclap is sore, especially in certain areas. I normally suffer from a sore tight scalp on occassion and only in the middle of my crown...But now it something new...sore almost like a relaxer burn! Anyone else experiences this sensation?

Yes my scalp was sore too on Sunday, but it got better when I washed my hair. I definitely need to cw at least every 2 days.

 

[EMJazzy]

My first observation......

I've been using MT nearly 2 weeks and I have noticed that 'the bulb' at the end of my shed hair now looks like a 'plug'.....it used to be short and round, now it's looking long and plump.

Has anyone else noticed that?

Ooh, thanks Shimmie. I don't think I've heard of this method before. I don't want to buy yet another product (shampoo) and an overnight oil treatment would be doubly beneficial. Thanks sweetie!

 

[Shimmie]

Ooh, thanks Shimmie. I don't think I've heard of this method before. I don't want to buy yet another product (shampoo) and an overnight oil treatment would be doubly beneficial. Thanks sweetie!

Our Member "Aggie" introduced us to the Garlic Shampoos and Conditioners and the best thing of all, the Alter Ego Garlic (creme) conditioner. It smells divine.

Aggie also confirmed what I was doing with a homemade garlic/oil recipe which is a total hair saver when it comes to shedding. Aggie's recipe uses fresh garlic cloves (about 9 added to her oil). It's in her Fokti.

I use the garlic powder (NOT garlic salt --- I have to emphasize that )It's so ecomical -- and it's good as a scalp massage. Just add about a teaspoon to enough oil to make a loose paste. Gently apply to hair and scalp and :wow: it truly stops the 'scarey' shedding

 

[Shimmie]

Snuckles, God has never 'failed me' nor 'us'. Not ever. And He even says in His word, to committ our ways unto Him and He will direct our paths. After all, it is HE who have made us and not we ourselves. We are His unique and beautiful design, and He above all others, knows what it takes and how to heal us and to grow our hair ---- long.

He is the HAIR Creator. Look at the long hair Sampson, Absolom, Mary Magdaline. Why not us?

With so many hair care products, regimes, remedies, PJ's ---- He can and WILL direct us on the right path to long, strong, beautiful and healthy hair. All we have to do is committ all to Him. He does the rest. Before I put faith in any product, it's going to Him, first.

God bless you, Snuckles. Happy Healthy Hair Growth to you. .

 

[trinidarkie1]

This weekend, God willing, I am going to do a blend of oils with Garlic. I'll be in Philly up 69th street at the Only indian grocery that I know of looking for stuff. Philly Ladies lemme know if there are others.
I know that Wegmans in Cherry Hill has a nice blend of stuff and there is a Lady in Reading Terminal that sells Essential Oils.
I think I might have some jasmine left over.

I'm excited!

I'm trying to think how many times I would have to make this for it actually cover my big head and all my hair.
