Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[KnottyGurl]

I meant to post earlier, but forgot after reading all the other replies...too many

Anyway, personally, I think since she has a problem with buying anything else until finishing up one thing, I would just purchase it for myself, that way she can't really complain b/c it's not coming out of her pocket. I might not tell her at all. You could always pour some in an empty product bottle that you already have and stash it away. (I'm devious like that tho' ).

When she's finished, you can either share with her (I'm selfish though, I wouldn't), or show her how to order her own set.

anyone??

Yooooooouuuuu Guuuuuuuuuuuys! For the FIRST time in my hair journey, I CANNOT TAKE THIS NG ON MY HEAD!

Ok, I LOVE the ng! Its all the prettiest little coils mostly all over like little springs. I never knew my hair could do THAT, and then I have a patch of unruly dry 4b's that are now tame since putting a little of CD healthy hair butter up there and extra conditioning. My scalp is also very sore there in that little patch too - but I've had this in the past. Theeeeen the front hairline is super fine and probably somewhere in the 3/4 mix.

And on top of all that are my relaxed strands. My hair feels thinner and thick at the same times.... *sigh* It's like the NG is causing so much shrinkage that my strands are all uneven, but the hair from the middle of my ends all the way up to the scalp is THICK! I think I have an inch of UNSTRETCHED ng! Stretched it's longer. I'm TRYING to get to 4 mons in my relaxer stretch. I'm not even at 3 yet. July 18th makes 3 mons but at this rate, I may need to call it quits, I'm afraid of loosing hair! I've only been using the MT for about a week and a half, and I was already a little past 2 mons post by that point.
The problem is that, yes I can retouch now, but then all the NG that I get from here to Sept I won't be able to show fully because it won't be freshly relaxed. I suppose I can also just flat iron it, but I really wanted to complete this stretch. 10-12 weeks is the longest I've ever gone. I'm doing mostly just twist outs set on flexirods or bantu knots, but even with that, last night getting through my hair was a nightmare! I also did a bun the other day straight from the shower and tied it down via the scarf method. I prefer now twist outs as my low manipulation style as my hair shrinks up to my ears and is off my shoulders and I do it following a nightly co-wash so my hair is super moisturized.

I'm so at a loss as to what to do!!! Help!

Sorry, lilsparkle!!!

Yeah, I'm with GG here - I'd get some for myself, and then if she was interested, I'd share for a minute while I was waiting for the one ordered for her to show up.

 

[rhapsdyblu]

anyone??

OK, Lilsparkle, off the top of my head...I think you need to go ahead and get the product. I do not advocate lying to her, so either tell her it's a new growth aid that you've seen picture proof of getting great results. If she just has to know what it is exactly, then tell her. If she says no way will she use it, then you go ahead. Once she sees how wonderful you're doing, she'll rethink it (as I sure many of us did - just like with MN). Also, tell her is is safe for human use (show her the bottle or the website) and also let her know it is highly recommended for chemo patients for hair loss - which it is.

BTW, you are a wonderful dasughter for thinking of her. As a mommy, you make me proud.

HTH

 

[KnottyGurl]

LilSparkle, I think it's only lying if she asks you about it and you don't tell or tell her something else. If she's happy using what she has, and you know she likes to wait until she finishes, why not wait until she's finished with what she has and THEN tell her about it? I mean if she sees it and asks, then fess up. But until then, why stress or be stressed?

So this is a GOOD "problem" right?
I have always admired your hair (and abs) btw...

 

[Nice & Wavy]

You are welcome. We are all here for the same purpose: To grow some hair girl and I'm so happy to be doing it with all of you!!!

thank you dear. It was rough getting to this point, but once i made up my mind that my hair deserved better then it was on from there.

for so long i settled for not thinking my hair could grow longer than shoulder length due to people convincing me that my hair was not meant to be longer than that and that was why it would not grow any longer (hope that made sense ). when I joined I realized that my hair grows well, however, my hair was so unhealthy that it was breaking off as it was growing in. especially due to the lack of protein and moisture balance. it could not grow past my shoulders due to it breaking off at that point because i was not protecting it and taking care of it like I should have.

But I am doing soooo much better due to all the knowledge we are sharing on the board. I wonder sometimes where my growth would be if I was following these practices a long time ago .

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

I bought the MegaTek today! I found a place that sells it here in ATL and drove 40 min. to get it...it was the LAST one he had too!

IT BETTER WORK!

Now I am waiting for my WEN...but I'm going to start MT today! I gotta get to APL by December.

Welcome Tayw29!!! I'm sure you will have fabulous results!

Thanks Kiya all your ranting and raving is one of the reasons I ran and ordered it

*takes a bow* You are more than welcome!!! I'm hoping you see fabulous results!

Okay, this is so weird. Does MT really work that fast or is my mind playing tricks on me? I had a few small, bald patches in my nape but now there's actually "peach fuzz" coming in. I've been using MT for about a week now.

I really hope this stuff really works for me.

1 inch a month would be 1/4 inch a week, so..... yeah, girl, it could be.

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

Uh.

It was Horse and Hound Tack Store on Roswell road. They had Survivor Detangler too. I had to walk out of there fast! They also had the Avocado Mist.

Your breakdown of ingredients was the deciding factor. Thank you!

Get it. Seriously. That stuff could be my babydaddy. The only thing that stops me from bathing my hair in it is that it has protein in it, and The Hair, I suspect she wouldn't like that too often. But, ya'll. I can almost (almost, cuz I ain't crazy) comb through my DRY HAIR with that stuff in it - without snappage or breaking. That's unheard of.

It allows me to fingercomb my dry hair with NO fear/concern. Farking fabulous.

Seriously.

Stuff ROCKS.

Your breakdown of ingredients was the deciding factor. Thank you!

*blush* You're welcome!!! I'm glad it's helped so many people!!

*poke* How far are you from APL?

 

[PEACHEY]

DO YOU MIND TELLING ME HOW YOU UPLOADED THE PIC

these are the directions i followed. you may have to play with resizing it. i just put the required demenions in the width and height boxes and the computer resized it for me. (beat all the guess work)

pm me if you need any further help.

now adding as a thubmnail is not going to permanently attach it to all your post. if you want it to be permanently attached then go to Q&A on our home page and there is a thread on how to create a pinkistrip. I am working on this now. trying to figure out how to move the strip to the left. well it will do for now.

hope this help

 

[PuffyBrown]

oh I am glad. I am loving your hair in your siggy right now
I was getting soreness too last week but started massagging my hair at night per JK recommendations, and it is gone...

You also brough up a good point. With all of the growth that we are getting from this, how soon would be too soon to get a touch up?
I mean if we normally cant take it anymore, what is the least amount of time you have to wait between touch ups?

Yooooooouuuuu Guuuuuuuuuuuys! For the FIRST time in my hair journey, I CANNOT TAKE THIS NG ON MY HEAD!

I must be crazy too, but I don't even wanna say why. Now when I got my relaxer it was relaxed bone straight, but now I'm thinking that's not the case. I don't know, I'm just gonna wait for a month before I speak on this again

OK, I am crazy right along with you because several of my bald patches have some serious fuzz & the hair next to them is much longer. I started last Wed or Thurs. It is growing in different, too. I mean the hair texture seems to slightly different.

Anyone else having spots growing faster than others? My sides & temple almost look like zebra stripes. I don't know how else to explain it.

Peachy, thanks, I may (I SAID MAY) try this with the pic I took at my starting place. I am not sure if I am brave enough to show it yet. But I'll check out the instructions & decide from there.

Thanks

I'm natural - and - I haven't said anything, cuz it seems insane even to ME - but I swear I can feel 'new growth' - the hair right at my roots feels - less kinky/smoother somehow than the hair above it. And I can only feel it right after I wash my hair - once I manipulate it, it all feels about the same...

Logically, if the protein was making my hair feel different, I would expect it to feel HARDER, not - like this. I can't even describe it - it just feels - different.

I can't tell if I have any spots growing faster than others.... but, I DID notice that my hair, for a while, didn't gain in overall length, but some of my shorter layers got longer - so I can see that certain areas might grow at slightly different rates...

 

[rhapsdyblu]

rhapsdyblu...I'm so glad you are here. You have such a sweet heart

Thank you so much for the compliment. I try to let folks know when they are appreciated.

BTW, it was your pics that had me jump up & run all over town to every feed & pet supply in the valley (prior to this I don't think I had ever seen a feed store) looking for this stuff. After realizing the amount of money I was wasting in gas, I gave up. Finally had to order it on line & had it shipped next day. Yeah, I know, the shipping cost was as much as the rebuilder but I have no regrets with the progress I am seeing.

& I can't remember who said it but I felt like the lady who said she was ready to pour the whole bottle on her head. Shoot, as it is I apply twice a day. Once to entire scalp & again at nite to the balding areas.

I really got to stop ordering products.

Let me get off this board. I got patients to see today.

Thanks, again Nice & Wavy for the compliment & the inspiration

 

[JustKiya]

Shoot, as it is I apply twice a day. Once to entire scalp & again at nite to the balding areas.

I was JUST thinking about starting to do the same thing (my temples shame me - it's the only part of my hair I'm truly unhappy about) until I get my MoeGro ingredients.

I don't know if I mentioned my final plans *mwhahahahaha* but I've decided that I'm going to use the 'boosted' mix solely on my temples. If it DOES help, heaven knows I'll be able to see it there first, as I've been working on these bad boys for well over a year, and while I see some improvement - it's just not where I want them to be, at all. *sigh*

Esp. since I'm starting to experiment with new styles that have my hair pulled back?? I've gotta do something about them. I know it took 5 years of being in tiny dreads (they were almost micro sized along my hairline - and I can remember PULLING SOME OUT because they were only hanging on by a couple of hairs ) to get my temples the way they are, but *sigh* I'm impatient!!! I don' WANNA wait five more years to get them right again!

I feel you on this feeling insane thing. (& I am a shrink, so I KNOW insanity). But I can see new fuzz daily. It's weird. I keep thinking I am imagining this. But I didn't have these kind of imaginings when I was using MN. Hummmmm?

Re: the bolded: That's it exactly. It is less kinky - smoother & I see it right after I wash it.

Oh, my, let me get my butt to work. I am shutting down now.

Awww...you're welcome, I'm glad that I was a blessing to you

 

[january noir]

Reporting in: I started the whole Ovaction line on June 1st. As of July 1st (one month), my hair felt different (softer), but I don't see a growth spurt yet. Hopefully there will be more growth once I reach 3 months of usage.

I wash with the shampoon once a week, add the OCT, then the cream rinse.

Throughtout the rest of the week (3x's), I wet my hair, add OCT to my scalp and the cream rinse to my hair and leave in on for a while and then rinse. For styles, I was wearing a wig for June. I just got cornrows and will be switching to plaits at the end of the month.

TWISTIES! I was just thinking about you! When I have time, I'll PM you.
Hope all is well...
