Ovation Cell Therapy/Mega Tek Challenge

Not sure if this has been posted before, but should i hold off on MTing since i'm giving myself a relaxer touchup this week?

I relaxed on Friday (posting an update pic next week when my friend can take a profile pic for me.) and used MT last on Thursday the day before. No adverse problems for me. I just used Profective Root health to base my scalp as normal.

That's torture!

Pic next week?

That's torture!

For me too. I've put my hair in 2 strand twists that'll last the week now. Plus I really didin't want to flat iron my hair this weekend either. The weather in London is hardly great right about now.

I didn't know if I should pose this as a question and start my own thread but decided to just say what I have to say here. I really believe in MT. The thing is I found that it works on the part of your head that grows the fastest the quicker. I put MT all over my scalp every single night. The back of my hair grew so fast in two weeks I had to go and get my twist redone. I have twist put in not just my own hair. I haven't washed my hair either, I put MT all over and the sides and top is still no where near as long as my back. I had 1/2 inch growth in the back and 1/4 in the sides and front. Sometimes its scary. Anyway I am going to end up getting my back redone in two weeks and still can wait on the top and sides. Thats weird. I put the same amount on the top as I do the back

Smartypants STILL hasn't gotten Smartypants' MT. If Smartypants doesn't get Smartypants' MT by tomorrow, Smartypants is going to take a page from ShiShiPooPoo's book and put Smartypants' foot up Neeps.com's Hee Haw and see if that will help them get off the stick!

With that kind of growth you will surpass APL by the end of the year. As far as your question, it's possible, MT affects everyone's growth pattern differently. I seem to have gotten the same kind of growth all over with it growing slightly faster in the back like your hair. Interesting observation none-the-less. :scratchch

Yep, my hair in the crown and back has gone new growth crazy. The front hasn't grown nearly as fast, but I'm happy for the growth I am getting.

Dang, sorry Smartypants. How long has it been?

 

[Zeal]

Yippppppppppppeeee. I picked up my box from my Mom's today. Came in a Straight Arrow box so there were no raised eyebrows. As a matter of fact, My Mom is having repair work done at her house so i don't even think she noticed.

 

[MrsQueeny]

Go head Zeal!!! HHG Q

 

[**Glamourlicious**]

I suppose I will be trying some of the other products when I reup. I have only been using it for about 2 weeks and so far...I have definately noticed thickness. I did not take a before length pic....but I took some this weekend so next month I will compare. But....I did get some progress last month So...come on MT show me some love...I am not sure how much more thickness I can take. LOL I am using it on my scalp daily and using it with heat as a deep conditioner once a week. WE WILL SEE HOW THIS GOES...

 

[Platinum]

Were you also moisturizing with the sew in?

Yes. I was using S-Curl. (Trying to use it up so I can go back to my beloved Worlds of Curls moisturizer).

Question... I found a bottle of Surge 14 this weekend. Do you think this product has too much protein to use with MT?

 

[VinDieselsWifey]

add me to the challenge!!

i just started on Aug. 10th. here is my starting pic. i have 3 months of unstretched new growth. i cut off about 2 inches last month.

i'm using Mega Tek

i plan to apply to my scalp every day and add some oil to it. i will probably wear braids most of the time and wash them 3x/week

MT has been working well for you. I can't wait to see your pictures.

 

[Jetblackhair]

Wow, your starting hair is beautiful.

I'm co-signing with you Precious Wavy...

Also, because of the pregnancy, I definitely would use as less products as possible.

Senegalese, you were absolutely right to stop the Garlic due to your pregnancy. Because, Garlic naturally thins the blood and while it is a good thing, I don't think it's good for pregnancy.

So do not take any supplements unless your Obtertrician advises you to.

Okay, lets stop the OCT and MT all together since you are pregnant.

I serious about this. While there have been no reports about any ill effects upon a fetus or the pregnant mother, I still say STOP all use of these products. The protein content is quite heavy and I do not think it's worth the risk of using this while pregnant. You are truly using way too many products here.

Now this will protect your hair while pregnant. Do LESS shapooing do conditioner washes instead. Use a safe oil on your hair such as Olive oil our use Jojoba oil which replenishes our skin cells, naturally.

Your hair will still grow by eating good foods, plenty of veggies, fruits and natural grains, eggs and fish and poultry. All eaten in normal ranges.

You and the health of your baby is much more important here. God will handle your hair. The shedding WILL stop! Yes it will! It's reacting to too much product overload, that's all. And many pregnancies do affect the condition of our hair, even with shedding.

For you and 'Baby'....

i use MT, I am pregnant. i obviously consulted my Dr and Eqyss before hand.((hugs))

 

[stixx]

I used OCT daily for a week (left on for 1 hour then co-washed), then took a couple of weeks off, and started again. I'm still having major shedding issues like minimum 15 strands a day, and those are only the ones I notice. What has worked better for you all, topical garlic treatments or garlic supplements? And how long does it take to work? thanks

edit: I should mention that I think I'm getting good results growth wise. My hair already grows fast, but I fully admit I never take care of my ends. I'm hoping it'll increase my growth so much that it won't matter if I'm trimming 3 or 4 times a year.

[Nice & Wavy]

Ladies, I got my hair done on Friday and I have to say that my hair grew about 1 1/2 inches since my last reveal in June. I'm so happy, to say the least.

To all the ladies that want to give up.....DON'T! Wait, you will see results soon.

I took pics, but can't show until Sept....I so want to.....

Blessings and congratulations to all the ladies that are getting great results.

VanDisel'sWife...your hair is awesome! Welcome to the challenge!

Tease!!

It will probably be 2 inches longer from your last pic by reveal time.

 

[Mitre]

I would like to take part in the challenge. My starting picture is in my avatar; I began using OCT in July 2008.

 

[JustKiya]

My hair is natural, but I am not getting the growth you guys are getting. What am I doing wrong?

1. I basically deep condition every other day (every day if I can).
2. I then use the MT and leave on for 20 minutes.
3. Use infusium
4. put my mixture of emu oil, jojoba, and lanolin
5. vitamins: woman's daily, biotin, omega-3 fatty acids

I know that each person's hair grows at different lengths but I am wondering if there is something more that I can do?

I am going to start with garlic tea in the coming days.

My hair at the crown is still thin. Overall the hair is growing so that is a positive. But, the back and the crown are still thin and the front is coming in slowly.

what is your MT mix, and why are you only leaving it on 20 minutes? are you leaving it on your SCALP or on all your hair like a leave-in?

Yeah, that.

Ladies...How long does 1 bottle of MT typically last you. I just started using it yesterday. I mixed a small amount w/ castor oil and scalp to my scalp. I currently have 2 bottles. I leave the USA for Japan on Aug 17 and was wondering if I should stock up...LOL

TIA

I am LIVID!
I have waited TWO and a half weeks, maybe THREE to get my Megatek.
Did a trade, sent out product to someone to get it and now I get it, THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THE BOTTLE HAS SPILLED OUT!
*crazy laughter*
I mean, how bad lucky am I?
So what do I end up with? NOTHING!
Gladly it was placed in a ziplock bag, so I'm going to have to see how I can salvage whatever lil remnants are there.

But pissed am I?

YES!

Alright, so I was able to salvage some so I will be starting tonight.
*fingers crossed*

I'm glad you were able to get some! Congrats! Congrats! Good luck with it all....

I'll be in Japan another 6m to 1yr...I ordered 3 more bottles so that I won't stress myself out over it...LOL

Smart - that is what I would have suggested, 100%

Do you all still support the use of the Premier Creme Rinse?

I may try it. Ladies who use both MT and OCT, do you think it would be better for me to use the OCT creme rinse?

I was planning on getting the Avocado Mist to spray on my braids underneath my weave. Do you all still think this is a good spray or should I get the rehydrant spray?

I looked through the threads for these answers and previous posts indicated that the ladies just started using the products.

Thanks, girls!

I LOVE the Premier Cream Rinse - love it, love it, love it. I'd definitely get it. I've never used the OCT Cream Rinse - it might be just as good, or better.

The Avacado Mist - I don't really like much. I don't think I've found the right way to use it yet.

I relaxed on Friday (posting an update pic next week when my friend can take a profile pic for me.) and used MT last on Thursday the day before. No adverse problems for me. I just used Profective Root health to base my scalp as normal.

Pic next week?

That's torture!

NEXT WEEK!!?!? You're such a tease, LD!

Smartypants STILL hasn't gotten Smartypants' MT. If Smartypants doesn't get Smartypants' MT by tomorrow, Smartypants is going to take a page from ShiShiPooPoo's book and put Smartypants' foot up Neeps.com's Hee Haw and see if that will help them get off the stick!

Girl, I hope you got your MT!!!!

Good to know - thanks!

Yes. I was using S-Curl. (Trying to use it up so I can go back to my beloved Worlds of Curls moisturizer).

Question... I found a bottle of Surge 14 this weekend. Do you think this product has too much protein to use with MT?

I think that LD was using Surge with it - or, she might have been using the Rehydrant, and thought it was like Surge - I can't remember.

I've been MAJORLY slacking while on vacation - I'll be heading home tomorrow, and I plan on getting back on point again.

Can anyone help me ?^^

Platinum I wouldn't recommend using the surge with the MT. The protein really is too strong to mix together.
