Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[*C00KIE*]

I am now shedding. I did a couple of garlic treatments w/ castor oil... is it necessary to add olive oil to the mix i didn't the only 2 times i did it. I just mix the castor w/ the garlic powder, part the hair grease scalp (grit and all) and then went back and add it to the length of my hair, let it sit about 10 minutes and then I added IC moisturizing conditioner along w/ a carrot conditioner (moisturizer as well), left it on for about 1 or 2 hours cant recall... did this about 2x. But i am still shedding (not too badly, but more to what I am use to seeing). To be honest though I hardly see any hair come out of my head... well never, not even shampoo/conditioner days. For the ones who did experiment shedding how long did it take you to see the shedding stop??? Or any other alternatives to stop the shedding.. this weekend I plan on doing both Sat and Sun (my days off so I dont have to worry about smelling like garlic at work, mix good conditoner w/ castor oil, garlic powder... another question which conditioner should I do this with??)

 

[graceunderfire]

Me too!!! I've already got my plan for the night plotted out in my head - DC and all!!



I'm using the same thing - well.

Okay. Before I started using MT, I was making a daily spritz - conditioner(s), SAA, HQ, water and TTO.

I'm still using the same thing, I've just increased the proportion of conditioners so that it's thicker/more moisturizing, and I've added a little glycerin (trying to use up what I have left), and I've left out the SAA.

I apply it to my hair in the morning before I go to work, and at night before I go to bed.

My hair seems happy and moist - and I've increased my DC's from once a week to twice a week, and my hair seems thrilled, overall.



Oooh, that's true!!! I subscribe to the same thoughts (which is why I never trim to 'even' up my ends), but I never thought about how that would play into thickness, as well! Good point!!

Go, Hair, Grow!!

And I love that freak-um dress, girl! You look good!



Girl, that sounds yummy! A lil chicken and some coconut milk, and that could be dinner!

As for a hair treatment - Hrrrm. Can't see anything doing any harm - you could toss in some garlic too, as that's supposed to be good for hair. Are you going to do it like a hot oil treatment?

Hahaha (to you and Shimmie). If I am ever starving I could just go to my concoctions.

The sesame and ginger is supposed to be an Eastern treatment for shedding and it is suppose to stimulate the scalp. And, the onion is for thickening (the sulphur is supposed to be great). I am getting these recipes from a natural health book.

 

[cocoaluv]

LOL. IOts the first thing i do when i get home from work.

Same here. I even bought some oils to add to it...not that I was interested in the oils at all but I really liked the applicator squirt bottle that it comes with. So I can now put Mega-Tek in a lot easier.

My mom is having a lot of progress and I'm happy for her.

 

[soulie]

I wonder though, will it revert back to the way my ng is suppose to look?

I sure hope not; the only way I'll make a lengthy stretch is with the "new improved" NG!

 

[Nice & Wavy]

Okay, I think I'm noticing something.......

It seems like my hair is going through cycles with the MT. There will be a period when it seems like every time I get my hair wet, it's a little longer - just crazy fast growth. Then, there are periods where it doesn't seem to be growing AT ALL, and I just realized that it's during those periods that my hair seems to be getting THICKER.

Anyone else going through cycles like this?

I'm going to take my first hairline comparison shots tonight, I think, because I'm DC'ing tonight, and I'll be able to take wet comparison shots. I think that it's filling in though - I swear there are tiny baby hairs there that weren't there before.......

Ok...I'm not alone "whew".....

I thought it was just me but the same thing is happening to me! My hair is getting thicker at times and I feel like its not growing, and then....growth and faster at certain times.


Cool......

Have you all checked out the other Mega Tek thread that compares OCT, MT, and Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor?. It is very interesting. According to some of the ladies, OCT and Aphogee smell the same and are similar in ingredients. As a matter of fact they give you the run down of the ingredients of all three and Aphogee appears to have more, with exception of castor oil. One lady does her own "bastardization" concoction that contains Aloe Vera, the Aphogee, Horse Tail (don't ask me what kind), and other oils.

Check it out. Some ladies pointed out that the order of the ingredients between the products and the concentration may be a factor in the price of the OCT and the Aphogee.

 

[bluevalentine]

hey everyone, i used MT for the second time last nite and whoweee did i have the itchies today. i was so paranoid that people were going to catch me "scratchin my itch" today but i don't think i was caught.... i am really hoping for some good results

 

[lilsparkle825]

Psssssssssss I have a secret.... I CAN'T WAIT TO GO HOME AND APPLY MY MEGATEK

LMAO!

i just wanna DC. these casts keep me from rinsing in the shower.

 

[Aggie]

Yesss!!
And this is why i don't want to post my ng shots
It doesn't look like a lot,but i FEEL it and everything,but the pics look.....erplexed

I started using megatek about five days ago and while running a comb through my scalp (hair is really short, shorter than in the picture) a hair fell out. I looked at it and it looked weird. I didn't even think it was my hair. The curl pattern was loose and the strand was really strong.

...like there is no growth, but the different texture prove that to be wrong!

I agree with all the above posts. I feel the curls but when I look at them, they do seem a little looser than they actually feel.

Aphogee doesn't just appear to have more but it has like 3 times more ingredients than OCT and MT. I will wait to see comparison pics before I jump on that. Besides, OCT and MT is safe to be used daily while Ahogee is recommended to be used once a week. Hmmmmm, now why is that?

I have been using ovation for about 3 weeks now (consistently)!

I finally received my MT toady. I plan to mix iit with some oils and maybe water. Does oil and water mix? erplexed My friends mom came back from Jamacia, and my friend brought me some real black castor oil too! The authetic oil that only the old jamaica ladies who live in the country side of the island know how to make. Natural no filler, no funny stuff! It's funny because I thought to myself about 2 weeks ago that I will give up on finding the real stuff. I cant afford the sams oil with shipping, and I decided I was not going to buy the cheap, clear walmart kind anymore

The guy from the Company where I order the Mega Tek also sent me a free bottle of the marigold spray (i think it's the 8 oz bottle) Perhaps because he was out of town and had to ship the product 5 days late. So now I have a free bottle of the marigold spary..he also sent me a hand written note thanking me for his business thanking me for my patience.
Does anyone know what to do with this spray? Does it work well?

Great customer service really makes a difference.

check it out -descent prices too especially if you live out of country, I believe he ships to Europe too! Hurry cause he will be upping his shipping prices for international shipping very soon, but he informed me that the price increase will not be substantial

I'm not sure what you'll do with it, but it is FLY SPRAY!! Guess he figured it WAS for your horse!

I'd really like to know this, too!!

LOL...omg this is sooo funny- Can you imagine. i hope this spray is not for flys yuck,

I sent him a few emails with a few questions regarding megak tek, however I never informed him that I was inquiring about and buyingthe product was for myself. He sent me responses advising me that he uses the product himself, and sells it to many people who use it to grow their own hair! No lies ladies. He said he uses it as a conditioner and washes it out, and it works very well. He said he likes it because it's very thick and creamy and he stated the product should last 6 months depending on usage. It's his number one seller.

He said he dosent even use Mega tek on his horse because his horse dosent need growth inhancers or help to keep his coat. He also that horse he owns is a specific breed of hourse that normally and naturally grows hair very quickly, he said that the horse has no issues with growing or hot spots?
He used these strange terms...horsey terms! He stated the particular breed of horse he had. I was thinking to myself "okay, I have no idea what this dude just wrote to me about caring for horses"...lol Real nice man though

.
I think there is some people using some sprays as a moistriser, I'm gonna check out the non growth Equine threads.

He told me that he uses the product and it makes his hair grow long, and many humans use mega tek

I know some people are using Avocado Mist, but I don't think they're using Marigold Spray.... hey, maybe it smells better than OFF....

 

[sweetgal]

LOL....your funny...but mean girl

Yeah i checked the other thread for the percetange of people who used the product. Only like 2 people who claimed to use it, and they probly used it for their horse, or picked the selection in the pole just for fun..

I sprayed it, smells nice, but i dont think I will use it unless i hear some reviews, read all the ingedients or at least until i take my hair out of the cornrows then I can actually evaluate what the spray does

 

[PuffyBrown]

AW sookey sookey....girly.


Yeah you got it.......whoo hooo.....keep me posted on that growth!

I am happy to say that I pretty much have my first wave in the back and a distinctive lump in the front...ps..I got my TU on July 11th so I am excited. I am taking pictures once a week so I can see if it really is growing faster and longer...

I worked late tonight so I cant wash it but I am going to in the morning and pull it back wet. I had some shedding but I remember Sereca, Aggie, and Nice and Wavy just let it shed...so looking at their hair, I would say that I will just let is shed..I am taking garlic supplements, and doing garlic treatments once a week so I will just ride this out and see what I get by next TU.

My parents live in JA and i made it my Mum's mission to find me some JBCO. Every so-called health food shop she went into looked at her with blank faces (so what's new?). She happened to be talking to an old man in the area where she lives and he put her onto an old woman who makes the stuff from scratch.

She has bottles waiting for me for when i go there in August .

 

[pureebony]

Im sitting in the office and I NEED TO SCRATCH MY HEAD lol this megatek is making me have an itch fest ARGH!!!

I'm soo happy your gonna get the good stuff!

My friend's mother said that just because the castor oil is from JA, dosent mean it's good. Alot of the young adults and people are trying to hussle money, so they just get some of the castor oil, then they mix it with garbage, fillers, other oils, and just foolishness,(anything they can get their hands on) Some of the stuff will actually wreck your hair.

She said she would ontly trust the old ladies do make it it proplerly, they grew up making the stuff natural, and they have the time to make it properly, and dont have an MO. Plus the old ladies just dont know any other way of making the good oil.

Thanks JK...What do you think about the claims that Apoghee is similar to OCT and MT?

 

[BostonMaria]

OMG... your hair is SOOOOOOOOOO goregeous!

Thank you!

I am not co-washing and enjoying the dry hair for now so I won't be using Mega Tek again till at least Sunday.

 

[trinidarkie1]

My Search feature is not working. Might just be the computer that I am using, however, I am looking for a protein free shampoo and conditioner. Someone suggested the Queen Helen Garlic products.

Suggestions?

 

[*C00KIE*]

^^^ Don't know for I am too looking for a very effective garlic treatment^^^

 

[thatscuteright]

I just got a fabulous cut that brought my hair to a professional, nice, even , collarbone length, but the shedding is too much.
My hair is breaking off, and I need trims constantly.
What can I do. I am loving the growth, but the shedding is out of control.

Hi trini,

I'll try and do a search in the original OCT/Mega Tek thread, but I think it was mentioned in a post that some of the ladies didn't like the Queen Helene Garlic Shampoo. The one preferred was Nutrine Garlic shampoo and conditioner.

Okay....... I found an older thread on garlic shampoo and conditioner. Here it is.

http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=88403

Also, I have the Nutrine and I like it. I also have the Alter Ego Garlic conditioning creme. I love the Alter Ego

The Nutrine shampoo is also very nice, but it can be a little drying, (it is definitely a clarifying shampoo) so I have added a little castor oil to the Nutrine conditioner and deep condition afterwards.

HTH

 

[Shimmie]

^^^ Don't know for I am too looking for a very effective garlic treatment^^^

You can't go wrong with Alter Ego Garlic creme conditioner. It's the best.

I'm confused by this post... Are you getting increased breakage (small bits of hair that breaks from the hair shaft?) or increased shedding (whole strands of hair coming from the bulb?)
