Here are some tips for newbies, Originally posted by Shimmie:

Snuckles This is Just for You!

Attention Newbies!

Help Notes for using Ovation Cell Therapy an Mega Tek

Rule #1 - Forget reading this entire thread. Yes...forget it. It's too overwhelming and you only be more confused on use of these products.

Rule # 1 - I am ON PURPOSE omitting all of the EXTRA's (even my extras I've shared in earlier posts) that so many us have listed in our regimes.

I am posting the Simple Method which is ALL anyone needs to follow.

Rule #3 - Relax and Allow your Hair to Grow...It will.

Steps for Using these products that WORK!

I. Ovation Hair Care System

www.ovationhair.com

Main Product in this system that produces Growth:

Ovation Cell Therapy - The Growth Product

http://www.ovationhair.com/OvationStore.asp?ac=lk&cat=2

How to use:

1. Apply to scalp as you would hair oil or hair grease and gently massage into your scalp with the pads (soft part) of your fingers.

2. Leave on your scalp for at least an hour then rinse your scalp with lukewarm water and proceed with your favorite hair conditioner. Place in protective style.

3. OR --- leave in overnight and rinse out in the morning. Place hair in protective style.

That's it. You're done!

3. How often? At least 3 times a week. Each night is fine, but 3 times a week is plenty. I know because I've done so.

You do not need all three Ovation products. Although I have the complete system, I mainly use the Cell Therapy.

II. Mega Tek -- Same as above

1. Apply to scalp as you would a scalp conditoner or hair grease.
2. Gently massage the prduct into scalp with soft pads of your fingers.
3. Leave in at least one hour or overnight.
4. Rinse out, condition hair with favorite hair conditioner.
5. Put hair in protective style.

Which Product does what?

Mega Tek will thicken your hair -- fast! It will also strenghten your hair which will lenghten your hair.

Ovation Cell Therapy will lengthen your hair --- fast! It just doesn't thicken as quickly as the Mega Tek does. But it sure gives the length.

Shampooing your hair....

As often or as little as you wish. I use shampoo only once a month.

However, at least 3 times a week, I Condition-Wash with my favorite conditioner. After I rinse, the conditioner out, I apply either Ovation or Mega Tek to my scalp. If I'm sleepy, I leave it in overnight.

I even go out in public with this product in my hair. Ain't nobody gonna grow my hair but me, so I could care less about what anyone thinks.

Key Principle - Make it easy on yourself. The only method to focus upon is that this is a scalp treatment. And it's not complicated

Do your thing with it and forget about all of the extras, such as the oils, and whatever else you've been reading. You DO NOT NEED IT!

Oiling Your Scalp:

Only if you want to. And if so, use either Castor Oil or Jojoba Oil or Emu Oil. They are growth oils.

If you want to mix a little oil with the Ovation or Mega Tek, you can, but you do not have to. It's only an option. However, if you do, only use Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil or Emu Oil. Again, these are growth oils.

SHEDDING

It's happens, but do not panick. I had major shedding after the 3rd week of Ovation, but I survived and so did my hair.

Garlic saved the day and my hair and my nerves Garlic stops the shedding.

Garlic Tabs:

Internally: Take 1 -3 tablets per day. That's all you need. Don't overload on this because it's not necessary.

Externally: Make a garlic paste as follows:

About 1 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder (not Garlic Salt -- Powder only)

Mix with with enough Castor Oil (or Olive Oil or Jojoba Oil) to make a thin paste.

Apply this Garlic paste onto and into your entire head, hair and scalp. Cover your head with plastic cap and leave this mixture on your head for a least one hour. YOU DO NOT NEED HEAT!. Your body heat is quite sufficient. I use one of those gold mylar (foil) plastic caps and it truly heats up my hair on its own.

Now wash your hair with a mild shampoo and then condition your hair. Place into a protective style and Smile! Cause your shedding has just been 'checked' ...

Now if you want to spend extra money, you can purchase the Alter Ego Garlic Hair cream conditioner. I love this product and it smells so light and fresh and it works!

Here's one of many links for the product:

http://www.ibeautyny.com/goods_detail.asp?goodsIdx=2157

Moisture:

Keep your hair moisturized as well. Do what you know is best for moisturizing your hair. Use your favorite DC's (Deep conditioning products/regimes). Just make it easy for YOU. That's the Key --- making it easy for you to maintain.

Other Proteins:

Stay away from them. Both of these products are protein heavy and you do not need other proteins. It will dry your hair.

Here's a Treat for your Hair:

"The Kiya Fizzie" --- The KF Solution from our family member "Just Kiya"

Add a little Sea Salt (1/2 teaspoon) to a huge handful of your favorite hair conditioner. Any conditioner of your choice.

Mix well and apply to your hair. Cover with Plasic cap for at least an hour. Rinse out and your hair will be as soft as can be. This also Relaxes the ends of your hair. See pic #4 in my siggy pikistrip. Treat yourself to the Kiya Fizzie once a week. Your hair will love you for it.

Ladies this is it! I am so sorry for adding to the confusion. We all want to grow our hair super fast, well this is it! When I stopped adding all of the extras my hair grew. The only 'extra' in my regime is the use of the Garlic. That's it. My hair grew even faster.

Okay............now go grow that hair!



I'm going to ask DSD to post this up front to make it easier for the Newbies.

Until we get this posted up front just remember this is post number #3567.

[jamaicalovely]

Thanks, DSD for setting up the Oct thread! All is well over here.

I posted in the old thread my progress in my nape area.

5 week progress:

Aug 29: http://public.fotki.com/jamaicalovely/megatek/aug_sep2008/img0358.html

Oct 3:http://public.fotki.com/jamaicalovely/megatek/aug_sep2008/week42.html

More photos are in my fotki.

I finally got some OCT, so I will be adding that to my MT mix.

 

[Twisties]

Doing very well. I am wearing a wig for October - December. I put my hair in plaits to wear underneath.

I use the Ovation 3x's a week and wigging it make it easier --don't have to worry about styling my hair.

 

[belle_reveuse28]

Hey, thanks for asking! I think it's going well for me. I've gotten a lot of thickness and as far as growth I got no less than a half inch app around on it first month of usage. I'm waiting for that growth spurt. The thickness is off the chain... My scalp has been sore for about a week so I took a week off and starting back up again. I was doing daily scalp massages. Think I prolly got a little too rough so we will see.

 

[jamaicalovely]

Belle, your progress is off the chain!!!

 

[*closer*2*my*dreams*]

I've been alternating between both for about a month now. I have not straightened my hair to do a length check, but it is a lot thicker since I began, and my hair "feels" stronger too...

 

[Blaque*Angel]

a fresh thread

 

[unique4lyfe33]

my hair feels much stronger now that I have been using MT. It might just be my hair but when I just finish putting MT on my scalp and comb my hair back it looks all shiny and striaght like I put moisturizer on. My sister be like what you just put on your hair? lol

ETA: one downside is that I do have a little white residue left on my scalp when I dont use oil w/ MT.

 

[november wind]

Still going strong. Lots of thickness and some growth =)

 

[Miz_Complexity]

I noticed a lot of thickness and my sides are coming in strong. I have been consistently using MT for 2.5 weeks.

I mixed in a spray bottle 3oz MT avocado and 3oz MT botanical with 3 oz Grapeseed oil, 4 drops rosemary EO, 4 drops peppermint EO and 2 oz infusium 23. applied 2x daily

3oz MT kept in a separate applicator. Apply 3 times a week to the scalp only.

I have to incorporate more scalp massages.

 

[hothair]

Well, my hair's thicker, not sure if I've got more growth than I would have without Megatek, but definitely got the thickness(BTW been using over 4 months)

 

[bluwatersoul]

I got some OCT about two weeks ago....prior to that was MT'ing it for about a month every day, religiously. I am in braids so it is difficult to see growth but I am growing ALOT of new hair and my braids get loose on a much more regular basis.

Now that the season is changing, I am finding it more difficult to stay moisturized...aargh!

 

[EMJazzy]

I'm still using OCT and MT every other day. My edges are growing in really fast....will post pics in a few days.

 

[Geminigirl]

Only used my MT once. But today I wanted to try something different and Put Nexxus Humectress on my hair and then some MT Massage and let it sit for a few hours. what ya'll think. I like using my MT as a DC or cond because I know I can't commit to scalp applications.

 

[Mynappturalme]

O.k. I'm taking MT and was not consistent with it as I wanted to be. After looking at your progress pictures I will be for now on!! As I said before, my kids hair have gotten a lot of length.

Here are my little pics one taken 5/26 (I checked) and the other 9/28.
So now that I plan to be on top of things, I hope to have the growth that some of you all have.

 

[morehairplease]

I have only being using the MegaTek for a short time now and my hair is extremely thick and lush.

 

[Andy1979]

Please add me to the list. I will be starting tonight with MT only

 

[phyl73]

Hi everyone. I posted in the last thread and it was long so I won't repost. Anyway, everything is still going well with me. I am wearing a sew-in so the only way to check for growth is to see if I can left a braid (the ones that are cornrowed underneath the weave). I will be taking it down November 1, doing a length check, wearing it in a phony for a week and then getting another sew-in for the remainder of the year.

 

[carameldiva]

I made a fresh megatek mixture- arnica oil, megatek, microtek gel, turkey red castor oil and bergamot oil.

I will take a picture and post it after I remove my tree braids.

 

[Mynappturalme]

Geminigirl, I saw your comment in the last thread, but could not respond because it was locked.

To answer your question, my children are 11 1/2 and 10. Yes, I personally think it's safe. The company says that it's made for humans, even Ovations formula, is not much different, just the packaging so that humans will feel more comfortable using it.

I wish I had taken pics of their hair. They are braided right now as usual. They have not had any reactions except tremendous hair growth. I have also used it in my 4 yr old cousin. Her hair has thrived as well. When I was on the MTG wagon, I used it in their hair as well...nothing but progress. I think MT might be better for children actually.

I know a white girl that I used to go to school with that used horse products ever since she could remember, she always had long thick hair, still does. Her family owned horses and said that's all they ever used. I thought she was crazy, but looks who's crazy with her now.

 

[Geminigirl]

ok...thanks for answering I def wanna try this in my babies hair. It is chemical free I believe but still wasn't sure but was gonna try eventually.

 

[gymfreak336]

I am back cowashing and megassaging for the winter.

I will be applying megatek atleast 4 times a week to my scalp. Since its getting cold, I will do my cowashing and such at night. I found a way to do it so that when its dry in the morning, I still look put together. If I can get solid growth for the rest of the year, I just might be able to hit apl. If not, I will surely be there in the spring. I am super excited. I have never in my life had hair this long. Good Luck Ladies.

 

[LushLox]

Can I join please?

I'm going to apply some MT in the morning and wash it out after an hour or so.

 

[Platinum]

I visited my mom the other day and she says that she noticed that my hair has improved since I saw her in August! (Sorry, no pics yet ). I broke my laptop the other day so I won't be posting as much as I normally do but as soon as I get another, I'll post pics. (The screen is cracked and the manufacturer wants to charge more than I want to pay to fix it. It's cheaper to buy another laptop.)

 

[tallnomad]

I've been applying MT and OCT to my scalp over night and then doing CO washes in the morning.

I also have noticed that my hair appears to be softer, however, I am in braids and will be in the them until December.

And thanks to Shimmie, I will not be mixing these with anything else from now on.

 

[GeorginaSparks]

I have been using MT since April 21. This pic was taken on April 23:

I took the pic below yesterday, Oct 5. my hair is definitely growing slowly but surely. Im wearing a different bra and my hair isnt fully straight but this is good enough. I know i need a trim but im still growing and i will even it up when i get to bra strap. Thanks for the support ladies and thanks to MT!!!
