Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

OMG, I was cowashing just now & detangling with my denman. After detangling, for some reason, not sure why 'cause I usually do not do this, but I brushed all my wet-full-of-conditioner hair back and I pulled it into a ponytail. A small one, but ya'll, it was hanging. I have been concentrating on my hairline so much, I wasn't really paying close attention to length. I got a pony. I got a pony. Shrinkage sure is deceiving.

YES!!!!

You go rhapsdyblu!!! I love sharing your joy with you. Please tell us what your friends and family are saying.

 

[napgurl]

Okay. Here we go. *sigh*

This pic was taken 1/20 (long before I started using MT, true, but I'm pointing somethin out, here.... )

This one was taken 8/31

So. There are my sad, sad 'progress' pictures.

There is no time for sadness here. You are in this for the long haul right. Your hair is full, shiny and definitely has more length. Keep your eyes on the prize -- and keep the vision. You are doing all the right things to meet your goal.

Ok so here are my first set of progress pics.

These were taking the day I started using MT 7/19/08.




These were taking on relaxer day 8/28/08. I think I can see some progress in the back. Maybe ?

 

[CurlyMoo]

Girl, how!?? I mean, without it getting on your hair? Or does it get on your hair, and you just don't worry about it? I seriously couldn't imagine using the whole measure, much less 3 times more!

I need details.

Yes I massage it on my hair and onto my scalp. I don't put the whole amount in the palms of my hands. I take a little at a time and spread it through. It spreads VERY easlily. I also squeeze my hair. The MT is always on my hands so I just go to areas that have it and massage it into the areas that have no slip. I also gently mash my hair toward the scalp. The main focus is the hair then the scalp because I also apply some lightly to my scalp later right before the leave in moisturizer.

About how long after a relaxer can I start using MT again?

See, okay.

First, your hair is PIN straight in the first pic. In the second set, you've got a rollerset, and you hair is a tiny bit longer. HOWEVER. A rollerset (which looks goooood, by the by) means that your hair is not pin straight, and thus there was definitely even more growth than we can see. I'd like to see what your hair looks like pin straight, now.

Girl! Okay, you are getting it all kinds of on your hair! Gotcha, gotcha - that makes sense, then.



I wanted to give a HUGE to everyone - ya'll don't know how seriously mopey I was over my progress pics, and ya'll and your kinds words & PM's have just been - wonderful. From my heart, srsly, ya'll ROCK.

You need to stop it, JK!!! Look at the thickness that you have gained- That puff has grown!!
Also, you know that you have serious shrinkage. The longer those pretty coils of yours grow, the tighter the coils become!!!!!

I'm so thankful for you and your dedication to this thread!!!! You and your hair are awesome!!!!

Welcome Caramelmocha, Happy growing and hopefully that silly UPS man delivere your MT soon.

 

[CurlyMoo]

I noticed that too so I will order from somewhere else. Now they seem to be the most expensive one out there. There are others that are cheaper. Thank God for competition.

ETA: oh and try www.neeps.com or www.stagecoastwest.com.

Thank you. After my recent progress I am going to buy a few more bottles, before the prices go up again.

Hey Guys,

I tried to fight it but I could not resist any longer. I've crossed over to the dark side. I just placed my order for Mega Tek (thanks to peer pressure from Aggie ). I'm so excited. Now I just have to purchase my non-protien deep conditioner. Whoooo hoooo!!!!!

 

[Valerie]

Okay. Here we go. *sigh*

This pic was taken 1/20 (long before I started using MT, true, but I'm pointing somethin out, here.... )

*displeased glare*

My hair almost looks shorter in the August picture. I did take one stretched & held on my back picture in July, and I'll try to take a mimic next weekend - but I don't know if it's going to show much.

Now, I will give you, my hair is fuller - you can see that I've got more of a 'triangle' shape on the second pic than the first - and both of these were freshly dried hair just pulled out of my 'drying braids', so it's not like I had more 'air' in there.

Now - and I know, if someone else was saying this.... I would most likely be thinking 'Urmhm, booboo, it's okay, breakage/slow growth happens to erryone - you ain't gotta lie to kick it' - but - seriously, I can tell that my hair has grown.
I can do a full ponytail - as in, all of my hair is IN the ponytail, without giving me perma-arched eyebrows trying to pull back the hair from my front hairline. There's simply MORE hair - it's thicker - and it's actually HOT now - I have to put it up when it's out, because otherwise I feel like it's smothering me. I can do fewer 'washtwists' (I'm down to 6 now!) without them just 'boinging' apart as they shrink. I can see all this stuff in my day to day maintaince (okay, okay, week to week) but the pictures? Meh.

And the fact that it's almost impossible for me to take pictures of the back of my head anymore is another big sign - I really need to ask DH to help, but he's usallly all about my hair stuff, and I'm so danngone picky...... *sigh*

So. There are my sad, sad 'progress' pictures.

JustKiya, I think that your hair length is deceptive, it is probably way longer that it looks, your hair is a lot thicker. Mega Tek is the bomb, and your hair is looking very very good, I love the shine, the thickness. You can try taking stretched pictures of your length. You will be so suprised. My hair took 20 days to see length. After nine days, I did see the thickness. Keep up the good work, just Kiya. I only use 2oz jar, myself.

Ok ladies question....should mt be applied to only my scalp or hair also... do I have to wash it out or can I leave it on?

Ok ladies question....should mt be applied to only my scalp or hair also... do I have to wash it out or can I leave it on?

I read through half this thread and it seems most of the ladies are just applying it to their scalp and leaving it in until the next wash. I'm sure one of the veterans will chime in if I'm incorrect. I hope this helps.

 

[CurlyMoo]

Ok ladies question....should mt be applied to only my scalp or hair also... do I have to wash it out or can I leave it on?

If you apply to your scalp, put it onto a clean scalp like hair oil. Can be left on scalp. If you use it like a conditioner rub it into your hair and scalp. Leave on for 5-10 minutes then rinse. I would not leave it on my hair, but that's up tp you. (Another option - DC under heat for 15 mins.) Don't forget to moisturize. Happy Mega-Tekking!
