Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[cocoaluv]

My daughter laughed at me for like 5 minutes, then asked me if she could have some. Oh hell no LOL

Sounds like my mom . But she would certainly freak out about it first.


I think the OCT would be better for me ( because of my mom ) But 56 dollars a bottle for 12 oz is tooooo steep for me. I'm excited though I think I will buy a bottle of MT later on today.

Just put it in another container. I keep my "horse stuff" in a pantene bottle mixed with some castor oil. Since DH teased me so bad when he saw the words coat and hoof.

FYI:

For the ladies in braids/twists or other protective style where u are not dealing with your hair daily----continue with ur garlic supps or whatever garlic u choose.

I started taking garlic oil pills about a week before my MT arrived. I am in twists right now. Hopefully that was early enough. I plan to take them down tomorrow and DC hopefully I won't have alot of shed hair.

so... i got megatek!!

i tried mn and had none of the tingling, itchy, headache side effects... but i apply mt and my scalp feels HOT. does this happen to anyone else? like i can hold my hand up to my head and feel heat radiating. and it kind of... simmers. thats the feeling i get. like a hot sizzling, kind of numb feeling...

and im only a week or so post so im gonna go ahead and say this is reversion im having... it could NOT be working that quickly. (been using since tuesday)

This happens to me! I was expecting to have itches but I don't. My scalp is just hot.

Hmmm, ladies. I do use garlic poo 2x a week and I haven't noticed out of control shedding yet. It's almost a month of using MT but should I start taking garlic pills as a back up ? erplexed

I would take some garlic oil pills or do one of the garlic treatments Aggie and Shimmie recommended. You can check Aggie fotki for her info for the treatment. HTH

If you are going to apply daily and massage in, Mega-Tek is better for you.

I now use my OVATION System as a treatment, say 1x a week versus daily or 3-4x a week like I did in the beginning. This really helps extend the usage and reduce the repurchase time and I am still getting great results for my situation.

Thanks for the advice. Using the Ovation system as a treatment in order to stretch out the product is very smart. Especially since you are still getting positive results.

Hi Puffy -- It's an honor to meet you angel.

How's your Mega Tek / Ovation coming along? I wish you tremendous success and hair blessings. Don't give up, okay? You have much love and prayers behind you and before you. You are surrounded and grounded in support and Long Thick Healthy Hair success.

And when you begin to 'swing' that long and beautiful hair, here are a few belly dance resources to get your started:

God bless you angel...

Aw. bless you such a :littleang. I am getting ready to go:blowkiss:

I'm thinking about joining...I just have to be sure to hide the MT stuff from my mom. As soon as she sees "Coat and Hoof" on a bottle of something I'm using she is going to freak out

. Hide it in one of your empty conditioner bottles

 

[cupcakes]

shimmie u seen like such a nice wonderful person.

....any way i am tracking my MT and my shampoo and they should be delivered today YAY

Re: Is there any interest in this....

Ladies,

I have been toying around with the idea of ordering a few of the Eqyss products wholesale (I have a MD business license). Then I thought perhaps I could offer the same to you guys so so many of you wouldn't have to wait too long for your product. I am lucky that there a few stores around me that keeps the product stocked; however, it is pricey, as I am not shopping online for the best price. Hence the reason I started looking into how I was going to support my hair growing obsession.

So, here are a few items that I think are of interest to us and the price I would propose to sale them. You can visit the wholesale website at https://www.proimagepetproducts.net/Wholesale_Pet_Pricing.php and see that I am only increasing the price by $5.00. Hardly a profit margin; however, I am interested in allowing my homeschooled sons to learn from the endeavor.

AVOCADO MIST DETANGLER
12 X 16 OUNCE UNITS
13.00


AVOCADO MIST DETANGLER
24 X 2 OUNCE UNITS
6.50


MEGA-TEK COAT REBUILDER
12 X 16 OUNCE UNITS
30.00

PREMIER REHYDRANT SPRAY
12 X 16 OUNCE UNITS
13.00

MICRO-TEK MEDICATED SHAMPOO
12 X 16 OUNCE UNITS
14.50


The handling charge would be $4.00 plus the actual cost of shipping the item. For instance the USPS shows a rate of $4.75 to ship priority mail from 21076 (DC Metropolitan area) to 94545 (Oakland, CA). Product would arrive in 2 days. So a total of $8.75 for 2-3 day shipping. We would try to drop off products daily; however, can committ to Mon/Wed/Fri shipping.

If there is enough interest then I will order a few bottles based on the response and start shipping. It'll take me a few days to get things set up, but for right now I am just trying to guage interest. At this point I think the only advantage would be prompt shipping. There are several other online retailers that offer the MegaTek Rebuilder cheaper.

For those who are out of the country there wouldn't be a handling charge. Only the cost of shipping.

I would love this, as I live in MD. I would definitely be interested in taking advantage of this offer. I would be willing to try the Primier Shampoo and the Rinse again...

Thanks Pretty!!! I will visit Aggie and pick up some garlic pills today!!

Ladies, I'm going to be self relaxing later today. Haven't done it in years, and at the time I didn't really know what the hell I was doing and it came out pretty good. Now I have better tools and the know how, so I'm going to attempt this as I haven't found anyone I can trust just yet.....

Plus if I do it now, and continue with doing my MT application until Sept, I can at least do a quick touch up if needed (um yeah, "if" - more like WHEN) at 8 weeks in time enough for our check-in. But my check in is going to be a few days late. Just lettin y'all know now, as Sept 5 th will be my 8th week of a mini stretch (I normally do 10 wks).

Anyhow, I'll try to post pics this weekend. I've definitely gotten some good growth AND retention! **happy dance**

 

[JustKiya]

Foxie - can't wait to see your results!!

Serenity,

If you are in the area then you can check out some of the horse supply stores in Laurel . They ususally have the product in stock and you can probably save money. Check out this link:

http://www.yellowbot.com/tags/ridingapparelequipmentretail/Baltimore, MD/page1.html

BTW I am not trying to turn you away. I would just hate for someone to spend more money than necessary. If;however, others express an interest and you want to order from us, then no problem! The boys would love it.

LIsa

Serinity, I ran upstairs and grabbed my products to see what I'd paid at Bits and Bridles. Boy, am I furious. I paid $34.95 ( 20.95)for the Rubuilder, $25.50 (14.95) or the Survior Super Detangler; $22.95 (12.50) for the Botanical Shampooo and $24.95 (14.50)for the Avocado Mist. The numbers in parentheses is what the store whould have paid ordering a full case. The'll never see me again!

 

[rhapsdyblu]

Man, don't check in for a day & whammo - I feel like I have to cram to catch up.

Good morning, Ladies. <Gulp>, I am going to upload my before pic later sometime this weekend before I lose my nerve so I can officially join the challenge. Please be gentle with me for the thinning and balding was horrendous (& I am as embarrassed as you can possibly imagine) - but.... since starting the MT one can hardly tell, now - I swear. Plus my twa is so soft & the curls/coils are more springy, cottony. My hair feels good. I have to force myself to keep my hands out of my head. It is more tight curly wavy versus tight, tight kinky, KWIM?

So today, as I head off to work, I walk proud sporting my gorgeous TWA which, btw, isn't so teeny any more - for real. I am just AMAZED!!!!!

I'll getcha picture proof. LOL

OH, gotta go

Thank you so much for this, Lisa!!

This information really helps me out a great deal. I will definitely check in Laurel. It's not that far from me and I can get there easily. I know that with Laurel being a big town for horses, there had to be stores in the area with products.

Thanks again! I will definitely check it out! :heart2:

 

[JustKiya]

I'm excited for you, rhapsdyblu!!! And I can't wait to see the pics!


So - I'm steeping the MoeGro Oil now. I ended up using 3 oz of castor oil, and 2 tbls each of horsetail and nettles. I left it in simmering water for 3 hours on the stove (I really need to get a mini-crockpot!), and then put the herbs in some cheesecloth, and suspended that in the oil. The oil is actually REALLY dark already - I was almost tempted to just start using it right then, but I pulled myself back.
I'm going to let it sit for a week, then mix up the boosted mix. I'll take before and after temples pics - and compare them to previous ones - my temples are STUBBORN.

Oh, boo, we aren't a sticky anymore!!!

I hope folks don't think the thread got yanked, again.....

right, what happened to our sticky status?erplexed

 

[Luvableboo]

Relaxed on June 9th..
Started MT June 16th...
Had to break out the Hair Gel on July 4th ... to keep myself looking human....

This stuff is frightening me... I was try to stretch until Sept 8th... I am not going to make it at this rate!!!!

 

[JustKiya]

right, what happened to our sticky status?erplexed

There was a thread discussion about there being too many stickies in the hair forum (*shrug*), so they pared down the sticky list to the bare minimum....



I think I'll link this thread to my Ovation siggy pic.

 

[sareca]

There's a FRO under my WnG! I just relaxed 5 weeks ago! Luvableboo, my gel ain't even working. I'm gonna have to break out the brown gel.
One thing's clear, I'm not gonna make it to 12 weeks. I'll be lucky to make it 8.

So far I think:

MT makes hair thicker, there's less shedding, less itching.
OCT doesn't change the thickness (which I liked), there's more shedding, more itching.

Both make the crown of my head tender.


Anybody else have any comparisons of the two?

Hrrm, interesting Sareca!! So - which will you stick with?

I love the thickness, personally, but I'm one of those crazy hair anorexic types who thinks there is no such thing as too thick hair, there is just hair that isn't long enough to overcome the thickness.

Sareca, I think I have to agree with you. Once I started using the Megatek, my hair has gotten soooo much thicker. My new growth has been coming in faster and thicker, I can barely manage it. I have a nice mix going right now using mostly MT and I think I will be sticking with that. I do like the Ovation Rinse, so I really need to try the Eqyss creme rinse.

What does the Ovation Rinse smell like? The Premier Rinse smells like baby powder, and that's not one of my FAVORITE smells (I'm already plotting on adding some essential oils to my leave-in to mask the smell, some....)

Oh I forgot to add the cost comparison. MT is cheaper. I'm gonna have to go with that, but I'm definitely gonna stop oil rinsing with castor oil. It feels like my hair has doubled in volume. Not Good.

Gotcha, gotcha.

Oooh, since I add castor oil to my MT mix, I'm getting a double dose!

 

[Luvableboo]

I hear you on the regular gel not working... Brown Gel (ampro) here i come.
I can comb to Ampro gel out every day with not problems( to apply MT)..... IC thick n shine I am stuck with until next wash day...

Mine looks like it's still around 3/4in but it's so much thicker it's very hard to manage. I did NOT want my hair thicker. I henna to cover gray and with OCT it was all working out great. I dunno, I might switch back. I don't miss all that shedding tho. I used to rain hair but that's probably what was keeping the thickness in check. *sigh*

I'm thinking about joining...I just have to be sure to hide the MT stuff from my mom. As soon as she sees "Coat and Hoof" on a bottle of something I'm using she is going to freak out

word - i'm gonna put mine in an applicator bottle and maybe switch what is left over into another bottle. come to think of it i do have a few bottles i can use...an almost empty shampoo bottle comes to mind. or maybe i will just cover the coat and hoof part with tape. i told my mom i ordered some growth aid for us so as long as she doesnt open the box i'm in the clear.

I'm loving how MT is making my NG fuller and thicker. These fine strands of mine are no longer breaking so easily. I'm hoping that the increase in thickness is not just because I need to relax. I'm coming up on 11 weeks post. Hopefully I can pull out 12!

There's no such thing as hair that's too thick!!
