Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[JustKiya]

I *may* have stooped to an all time hair low.




Yeah.

I did.



So basically I went home for lunch to megasagge... Lawd have mercy....

Don't judge me.

*cracks up*

Girl, don't feel bad at all!! That's dedication right there!!

Are you doing okay? How's the ankle??

 

[Shimmie]

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!

Sounds like a good plan .

You know, I've never shared this because I didn't want others to have a negative result, but I've used the Mega Tek mixed with Castor Oil to seal my ends and I've moved it down my hair as I made into a twist.

Now I also use Ovation, but I've never put it on the length of my hair due to the high protein that it has. The protein content is higher in Ovation and lower in Mega Tek.

I've also used Mega Tek mixed with Castor Oil on my face. I had some excess on my hands and I thought, "Why not?" :scratchch:

My skin was very soft. The Mega Tek smoothed onto my face white at first, but with the oil, it blended in and my skin seems to like it.

Someone mentioned that she mixed some Ovation into her face cream, and since then, I've been adding a tiny dab of my MT mix to my face cream -it's been about a week and I swear, my face is GLOWING - it's so smooth and - young looking - you know how that YOUNG skin looks? I'm talking preteen, here.

Yuh see, I'm not that lucky! I am Wolverine's Sister. And the only place that my hair seems to not grow well is on my head.
I don't want to wake up one morning and see my unibrow again

I *may* have stooped to an all time hair low.



Last night, I got in super late, fell down some concrete stairs, twisted my ankle and tore a contact. After all that, I wound up not applying my MT cuz I just wanted to go to bed. All this morning I kept thinking, 'Great, I didn't apply any MT... this is some bull..' It didn't help that everybody and their grandmama were adding progress pix.. So I'm just a little bitter about all this, mmkay?

At lunch today, I had to run home to take the deadbolt off the door so the painters could get in. While I was there, I went into my bedroom to put away some shoes, and that infamous black and blue bottle caught my eye.

I thought, 'I couldn't.'

'I wouldn't.'

'Could I....???'

'WOULD I....?!?!?'

Yeah.

I did.

OK, I was laughing so hard, I forgot to ask are you OK? How's the ankle? Please becareful, OK - we don't want you hurt, my dear.

And no one will judge you - we are doing crazy things ourselves - afterall, we are now robbing the horses of their much needed products.

Girl I just left your other thread on the 'salt' and adw425 came to my rescue with my Epsom Salts hair rinse; and now you just came to my Mega T face rescue

Doesn't it do a wonderful job though? It goes on white before it absorbs into the skin. At first ot kind of scared me because I thought it was going to stay white on my face But the oil smoothed it in really nice. I love the way it makes my skin look and feel.

It's good for elbows and the heels of my feet too. I likey...

 

[trinidarkie1]

I was so afraid someone would ask...LOL

OK- I used Lady Aggie's recipe (I believe it's on the first page of this thread) & since I didn't have any JBCO at that time, I substituted it with the MoeGro oil recipe (I already had some made up). I also used my own MN recipe mix (since I already had that - which had MN, castor & olive oil, blessed oil - yes, I said that - MSM & sulphur 8 - ratios about 1 tube MN and 1 oz each of other stuff) and JK's idea (SAA, honeyquat, Vit E oil & CO). Yes, I know it seems extreme, but I love to mix. it's an addiction - OK?

As I said, I have gone back to that because I like how it feels. I will see in two weeks if the growth rate is affected- if I can tell, even. & I will need to make up more again. I know I won't get the recipe quite right since I did not write it down (yeah, shame on me), but I am sure I can come up with a reasonable facsimile thereof.

Keep in mind, I had stuff already made up (MN & MoeGrow oil) & this seemed like a reasonable way to use it up once I started the MT. My thinking at first, was also that if MT would grow hair, then adding the MN & MoeGrow would kick it up a notch. I later thought it wasn't necessary & wanted to see what would happen with it kinda straight. So I was just experimenting. I probably should have left it alone - you know, if it ain't broke - don't fix it? So I am going back to what I did at first.

Sorry this took so long - I sure you guys know by now I talk/write a whole lot.

Yes girl you are a mixer indeed.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Thank you all for the well wishes!!! I'm just clumsy as ever and completely missed a step on the way into my apartment. Ankle is really tender and swollen; I'm off tomorrow so I'll take care of it. You all are so sweet!!!!

I want shoulder length in 08. I'll do what it takes to get there.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

I've been putting the excess MT on my eyebrows... I have naturally thick brows, but the MT has them looking like caterpillars!! I use it to grow them in quickly so I can get a nice, clean arch.

I dab a lil (if I have some left on my fingers from doing my hairline) on my eyebrows too - I have naturally thin eyebrows, and I would LOVE if they filled out some.

I have trichotilomania, so I need to be doing that. I have half of an eyebrow left over each eye. Thank God for eyebrow pencils.

Hi ladies I'm a newbie here, and this is my first ever post, i have been following this thread for a while, and i have decided to join the challenge. i got my megatek yesterday and i already started applied it twice. already got the scalp soreness, and tingling. cant wait to see some growth! i mixed mine with some jojoba oil, hope this is okay. about getting the mega tek on the whole hair, i currently have conrows, and i just apply between the lines, is this okay or do i have to take out the conrows to apply properly?

Thanks ladies!

 

[Valerie]

I ordered Mega Tek today from www.tailgator.co.uk. So I should be receiving it on Saturday morning.

Welcome!!!!!!!

Jojoba oil should be fine - it's like sebum, so I can't see that causing a problem. And applying between the parts is fine too, I would suggest massaging it in and 'rubbing' the scalp under the cornrows, to try to spread a little over under 'em.

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[Jenaee]

I’ve jumped on the wagon!! I started MT on Tuesday. I mixed it with JBCO, Coconut oil, and Peppermint EO. Has anyone experienced itchiness? The 1st day I had no itchies at all, just tingles. Today is the 2nd day and I’ve got the itchies.

Thanks JustKiya, you guys have really inspired me to get with Megassaging . is twice a day too much? how much more growth do you get with megatek? i'm a slow grower so i'm hoping for 1/2inch

Hi Shimmie,

I always though it was the other way around w/, MT having the higher protein content, I know you know your stuff when it comes to this stuff. I am just wondering how you found that out. Thanks.

*nod* Quite a few ladies have experienced the Itch. I've found that giving your scalp a GOOD massage eases the itches nicely.

lilsparkle is using twice a day, I think, and she hasn't had any issues. My normal growth is 1/4 inch a month, and I'm getting 3/4 with the MT.

 

[RENIBELL]

guys what does castor oil do for the hair?

My daughter injured her knee the same way you injured your ankle. I wish you a speedy recovery.

I've been putting MT on my eyebrows and they are growing just as fast as my hair...I didn't think to take before pics altho I do have some pics of my face that shows my eyebrows b4 MT. I'm going to take a comparison pic and see what it looks like. :scratchch

do you get 3/4 from Megassaging only once a day? cause i dont mind doing that if it gets rid of the itches and i can still get good results! this is really exciting, i saw all the progress pics! They were very impressive.

 

[JustKiya]

There are a lot of threads on castor oil - if you run a quick title search, you'll get loads of hits.
I use it in my hair as a 'sealer', and it leaves my hair soft and moist.

Yup, once a day! If I had more time, I would do it twice a day, I won't front - there have been some weekends/days off of work that I've almost talked myself into it.

i have cornrows right now...its actually easier for me cause with the kinky twists i had my sister helping me, but with the cornrows i just dab some on my fingers and 'grease' my parts. go with JustKiya's suggestion and massage it in, but you dont have to take them out everyday!

lilsparkle is using twice a day, I think, and she hasn't had any issues. My normal growth is 1/4 inch a month, and I'm getting 3/4 with the MT.

nuh-uh; every two days is more like it. i'm too lazy! (well sometimes i get it in every day...) i'm still getting 3/4 regardless though!

Hey Lilsparkle, are your cornrows professionally done? i did mine myself, your progress looks amazing, what do you mix your MT with and what is your reggie?

 

[EOAA]

hey ladies, just checkin in,I havent been posting much,but I have been using my MT/OCT faithfully for 4 weeks and a day now. I only mix mine with JBCO now(before it was olive and tea tree). I havent experienced any itchy scalp,shedding, or tingling(or should i add yet)anywho, i have a little growth so far and it has gotten a lil thicker. I put singles in my hair on Tuesday until september 1st to stop observing it erry day, Im trying so hard not to take them out before then.

 

[lilsparkle825]

Hey Lilsparkle, are your cornrows professionally done? i did mine myself, your progress looks amazing, what do you mix your MT with and what is your reggie?

hello

my cousin did them, but she's not a professional...its just hard to get her to redo them cause she's always "busy" i've gotten kinky twisting my own hair down so i'm trying to learn to do cornrows myself, but i did my own flat twists last week and they were JACKED...so thats not giving me much hope on that end.

i do 3 parts MT to one part oil, i mix it in an applicator bottle and apply it to my scalp once a day or every 2 days. whatever oil is fine...jojoba oil and coconut oil have been on my must-buy list for some time now so i need to go ahead and get them, but right now i am using africa's best herbal oil in my mix. helps me go through the MT a lot slower which is good considering my mom, sis and i are ALL sharing this one bottle and i am going to leave this one for them when i go back to school in august. i wash once a week...tonight is a wash night for me, but i have never DC'd in braids...so we will see how this goes.

once i take these out i MIGHT go back to just doing wash n go's but i am having too much fun seeing my new growth in braids right now...i dunno, maybe i will do some box braids. how long have you been doing your own cornrows?

 

[twnz&1mo]

I agree Shimmie's spirit is so beautiful, and please forgive me Shimmie for not saying thank you for the words of incouragement. You are a gem.

Aw Shimmie, that's beautiful...I love your spirit!

I too, will dedicate my hair products to the Lord for his blessing. I always pray for His Guidance, but dedication is an awesome thing!

I thank you for sharing...

Blessed Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll....
