Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

[Shimmie]

Hey Sweet Shimmie, yeah I do like the OCT but i wanted to find out from you, do you have the Eqyss Premier Botanical Poo and Creme Rinse as well as the MT?

No, I just purchased the Mega Tek. I'm still using my OCT shampoo and Conditioner rinse. I still have a lot of it on hand and OCT (the Cell Therapy).

Are the Eqyss poo and conditioner good products to use? I'm still headed for the 'natural' poos and conditioners at Komaza Care.

 

[Shimmie]

Hi Shimmie, thanks for that. I'll search some more, if not i may just use the powder with the 'how to' instructions.

Good! I wish you blessings and minimal needs for searching. It can be so time consuming. But then the rewards...........

For you, Bublin:

Dear Lord I thank you for giving Bublin a wonderful and quick resource for all of her needs, be it for hair, skin, or whatever else that she desires or needs in her life to make it easier. Amen.

I like the conditioner, a LOT. I don't use poo, so no comment on that....

I started off by using the OCT system for about 3 weeks, which is great by the way and I did experiment some hair growth, dont know how much exactly. About 5 days ago I started the MegaTek and I also see hair growth w/ this... maybe a bit faster. My ng when using the Megatek is kinda weird though, as the way it looks. Let me explain its like when I part a section of my hair the new growth is soft and lays down on the scalp, looks as if it is glued down?? Very pretty looking, undisturbed?? Anyone else experience this????

 

[Shimmie]

Why do you need to "cut" the products with oils, etc? Are they just that strong? Also, how is it making your hair stronger/ grow & making it shed at the same time?

Can you just buy the OCT/ MT and use as directed? Thanks... I want to buy these products, but whoa! are they expensive. I don't think I could keep using them long-term.

Hi mizzdebbi:

Actually, you can use these products long term, They last a long time. So the price actually isn't so expensive. I started my 6 ounce bottles of the 3 pack OCT system in February and it lasted until June. I now have the 12 ounce 3 pack OCT system, which will take me well into December.

Note: I've also starting using the Mega Tek (it's less expensive) and this huge 16 ounce bottle isn't going to be empty anytime soon. I'm well set into 2009.

As for 'cutting' the products. There are several reasons why and it's all by individual choice; not mandatory.

Some reasons:

* To stretch the product lol
* To enhance the strength by adding additional growth aids
* To personalize the product for individual use. (Being Creative )

* Following the product directions is always best in the beginning.

However, both of these products are infused with protein, especially the Ovation Cell Therapy Serum. So I do advise at least oiling your scalp before application. Although you can use the product straight, I personally recommend the first use as gradual to see how your hair and scalp reacts. Then adjust it accordingly.

Blessings.... .

Yes the NG is definitely softer; I described it as being closer to the relaxed texture - so it almost looks like a piece of hair that didn't dry in the same direction as the rest. I always had "hard" ridges for NG, but these are soooooooo soft

The Premier poo smells, looks and feels the same as the Ovation poo. The Eqyss creme rinse looks and smells different but works and feels the same IMO. I am heading down the natural product route still as well. The Eqyss poo I have will last along time because it comes in a 32oz bottle. It works so well with the creme rinse.

Exactly, couldn't put it any better than that!

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

Is anybody using just MT straight??? Are you getting great results? I was thinking about mixing with MN and an oil but I want great results and to know if MT really works for myself. Thanks

 

[JustKiya]

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.......

Interesting observation....I will pay attention and see if the same happens with my hair. :scratchch

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.

 

[*C00KIE*]

Yesss!!

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

Does anyone else experience a burning sensation with megatek?

 

[JustKiya]

Burning? No. And I would be concerned with that.

Warm tingles? Yes.

 

[gymfreak336]

Burning? No. And I would be concerned with that.

Warm tingles? Yes.

 

[graceunderfire]

Burning? No. And I would be concerned with that.

Warm tingles? Yes.

Burning or no burning I am still gonna use it .

I think it's working. When I run a comb through hair is starting to stick out of the comb's teeth. My temples are coming in and the sides are starting to fill out.

I can't give it up, I just can't.

Girrrrlllll. It shouldn't HURT, let's put it that way. If it hurts, growth and all, I would slow down on using it, give your scalp time to either decide it's cool with it, or that it shouldn't be used. We want more hair now, but it's not worth pissing off our heads for, ya know?

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

 

[*C00KIE*]

Quick question for the ladies here... what kind of daily moisturizers are you guys using along with the megatek

I think it's too soon for me to know whether I've experienced cycles like this or not, but Chicoro has an excellent explanation for how hair grows.. Basically to sum it up different parts of the hair grow at different times, and when the longest strand gets to a stopping point the shorter strands then go through a cycle of trying to catch up to the longer strands. Then the cycle repeats, a section of hair takes off and becomes the longest part of your hair then the shorter ones catch up; kind of like a race. So in other words JustKiya I think your hair is on the move lol!

 

[graceunderfire]

I DC'd yesterday and on Friday I am thinking about giving my hair a treatment/. Tell me what you guys think of this mix.

half onion grated (sulfur rich - got the idea out of a health book
ginger (grated juice extracted)
sesame oil

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

Quick question for the ladies here... what kind of daily moisturizers are you guys using along with the megatek

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?

Girl, you are too funny....

But I agree with adding the garlic.

ETA: You know, we can't go into a restaurant with these hair reggies of ours. They might put us in a pot of stew or a roast....

I normally DC w/ moisture 2x a week maybe I need to up it to 3 times, because my hair feels so dry, I get so scared to do anything but throw some conditioner on it and and sit under the dryer for 30 plus mintues
