Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[VirGoViXxEn]

You'll have the money and then some for the Alter Ego.

The garlic / oil is really great though. It smells like yummie Italian with garlic / and olive oil mixed together.

Thanks Shimmie, I found 100% Garclic Powder by Vitarroz for .99 cents. the local supermarket its 2.5 oz. This should be similar to yours right?Also, what other oils are you mixing with it.

unfortunately im gonna miss a day of megasagging (left it at home)
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH... lol i need every day ALL DA TIME

LOL. I thought i was the only one who megasagged every day!

 

[EMJazzy]

I'm sorry about your order being delayed from neeps.com.

My prayer is that you will receive it very soon and able to put closure upon this and begin your hair regime.

I ordered mine from horseloverz and it came in 3 days. My next order for MT will be ordered from Hopes Braids.

We're here for you EMJazzy. Don't despair.

Hugs and blessings...

Thank you Shimmie.

I GOT MY COMPUTER BACK!!! i'll be back with those MT pics shortly.
lol....ok she is here for you and i am here if she gets overwhelmed.

surprisingly i did...there was a chick who said something about that about a week before i began MT and i was like whaaaaat? you're just looking too hard but when i was taking my kinky twists down i was looking for breakage (unfortunately i found some) and i saw all these really thick nasty looking bulbs. i was like eww

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

Great eroberson You were blessed with a wonderful deal on the Garlic Powder. I need to check this brand out myself.

I use Castor Oil...it's a growth aid.

BUT You can use Olive Oil and it will smell just 'yummie' Italian.

OR, you can use Emu Oil, Jojoba Oil, Almond Oil, or even mix them if you like. The main active ingredient here is the Garlic. That's what stops the shedding.

Blessings Angel. Happy Garlic Treatment to you....

 

[jamaicalovely]

unfortunately im gonna miss a day of megasagging (left it at home) WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH... lol i need every day ALL DA TIME

YAAH! Good girl!

 

[trinidarkie1]

You guys have me Soooo excited to start using my MT! Hopefully my swap goes through and it'll arrive soon.

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

I don't know what to do...

I am thinking about transitioning so I have this blowout/flatiron appt. Thursday. If I go, I can't use my MT for something like a week or longer. If I go ahead and relax, I can continue on my nightly MT regime. I want to see if transitioning is suitable for me but I won't be able to MT because it is going to make my new growth puffy (from the water in it). WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO?

 

[graceunderfire]

So I am back on the megatek. I used it today. I stopped the Nexxus Humectress because it has soy and I didn't realize it. Now I am back to searching for a good moisturizing conditioner for co-washing.

I used Pantene for a clarifying shampoo. I didn't like it. What are you guys using?

My hair is still coming along nicely. I just looked at the pictures of my hair from three weeks ago and it is amazing!!! I have hair!! I have enough to catch and hold between my two fingers (I was bald when I started mt).

For clarifying, I use Avalon Organics Clarifying Shampoo.

If it were me, I would forego using the MT for the week and get a blowout/flat iron. I'd rather lose a week of *boosted* growth from MT than give up all those weeks of new growth that would further me along in my transitioning. Did that make sense...?

HTH!

 

[KurleeK5]

So i think i joined this challenged and didn't realize it!

I've been using MT for about one month... (progress pics coming soon). I have been shedding like crazy with breakage and severely splitting hairs. Anyone have an really Good remedies on this? No use in growing hair long if i can't retain my ends.

Anyone having similiar experiences?!

I was thinking this too. It is so hot though I wonder if my roots will puff up...it's worth a try right?

You know what I do? Every fewCw's I take a little MT and run it through to my ends. It has almost completely stopped my breakage. I only leave it for the five minutes then rinse.

Hrrrm. How long is your hair? How often are you DC'ing? How often are you using heat? What kind of combs/brushes are you using? When's the last time you had a trim, and who did it?

I use baking soda mixed with conditioner. I stay away from silicones, so that's about all I need to clarify.

 

[KurleeK5]

Hm, heat? I rarely unless I straighten - which has only been 2x this month. Some of my hair is shoulder length and the rest is approaching (I use to have layers). Comb? When I do comb my hair is straightened and I use some comb from sally's that doesn't snag your hair (its beige) and Brush, is my best friend Denman. My last trim was in June around the 25th to even my layers...it's almost time again. My hair is split so horribly though. There are parts where it breaks off, then i notice in that broken off piece, the hair has split in 3 sometimes 4 parts. I trim when I can (little snips here and there) especially when i notice little knots at the ends. It's just sort of frustrating.

 

[SelfStyled]

Question guys.....Does anyone think that a clarifying condition would actually clarify, I am thinking this would be the same thing as adding baking soda to clarify right?


An observation......I have been using MT for 3 weeks now- can I say that my shedding has come to a DEAD stop. I started off w/ OCT and had some increased shedding- nothing major. I added garlic supplements and the shedding got better.

After starting my MT mix, almost 0 shedding. This is so weird....cause I have always shedded a lot. I feel like even if I don't have crazy growth, although I am sure I will, I think I will finally retain my growth. Yay!

What are you trimming your ends with? Is it a pair of hair scissors, used only for/on your hair?
How often are you DC'ing?

From what I understand, clarifying conditioners don't actually clarify, they are just the best conditioner to go with a clarifying shampoo. I could be wrong, though.

 

[slim_thick]

I haven't "noticed" growth yet. My hair is going back and forth with this OCT.

Scenario 1:

I used the system, and experienced tangles after simply using the directions as "stated" in the system for intense results (aka leaving OCT in scalp for about 30 minutes or more (not the hair). I have had little tight knots that aren't alarming in nature, but I know they aren't "shed hairs."

Scenario 2:

I apply every other day to the scalp and experience buildup, but no changes. My scalp itches somewhat.

Scenario 3:

Use the system exactly as described. Rinse OCT out of hair after 3-5 minutes in shower and use creme rinse. Results: noticeable curl/wave pattern and smoother hair.

Uhm, maybe I am totally ignoring the small signs of growth? I'm going to have to purchase a really good moisturizing DC and try MegaTek instead to compare.

How long has you been using the Ovation system? I noticed the same thing but I've only been using it for two weeks; three times a week. After I try the garlic powder/evoo mix tonight to combat the extreme shedding, I'm going to apply it everyday for one week to see the different. I know it's hard believe me because of the price. I'm going to try and give the product at least 6 weeks before I give up.

Thats nothing. I megasagg 2x a day.. believe it

I think I'm going to try MT as a rinse out (about 2-5 minutes) on Co-wash days since I do that only once a week. On wash day I use Porosity Control as a rinse out. Thanks for the idea!

What is the world is MEGA SAGGED. I googled, and tried to search, but y'all have got me stumped!

Trini, I think that it means massaging the scalp with Mega Tek!

Yup. Instead of a MAssage, you get a MEGAssage.....

WEll shux, y'all coulda said that from jump. I kept looking at the word and was like, I know it's a play on words, but y'all always coming up with some ketch phrase.
I ain't trying to be bouffed for asking what's that and not checking first.

 

[Thann]

I've been slacking with the MT b/c I was having crazy build-up. I was needing to wash my hair at least every 3days. I'm gonna try the Megassgae this week and hopefully this will help a bit.

Girl, don't feel ashamed. Since I've joined, I have googled and gone to "dictionay.com" a lot. Confession - I still don't know what ETA stands for. I know it's something really simple but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I must admit that I am learning a lot from these ladies though.

*sighing*, Thank you, I feel relieved!! When I first saw that used, I immediately went to the Favorite Stickies and looked but it's not on there. Can that list get updated?

Is it locked, or can you still post to it? If you can, sure add it! If it's locked, you'll have to PM one of the mods.....
