Re: Ovation Cell Therarpy/Mega-Tek Challenge Sept. 08

Here are some tips for newbies, Originally posted by Shimmie:
Snuckles This is Just for You!

Attention Newbies!

Help Notes for using Ovation Cell Therapy an Mega Tek

Rule #1 - Forget reading this entire thread. Yes...forget it. It's too overwhelming and you only be more confused on use of these products.

Rule # 1 - I am ON PURPOSE omitting all of the EXTRA's (even my extras I've shared in earlier posts) that so many us have listed in our regimes.

I am posting the Simple Method which is ALL anyone needs to follow.

Rule #3 - Relax and Allow your Hair to Grow...It will.

Steps for Using these products that WORK!

I. Ovation Hair Care System

www.ovationhair.com

Main Product in this system that produces Growth:

Ovation Cell Therapy - The Growth Product

http://www.ovationhair.com/OvationStore.asp?ac=lk&cat=2

How to use:

1. Apply to scalp as you would hair oil or hair grease and gently massage into your scalp with the pads (soft part) of your fingers.

2. Leave on your scalp for at least an hour then rinse your scalp with lukewarm water and proceed with your favorite hair conditioner. Place in protective style.

3. OR --- leave in overnight and rinse out in the morning. Place hair in protective style.

That's it. You're done!

3. How often? At least 3 times a week. Each night is fine, but 3 times a week is plenty. I know because I've done so.

You do not need all three Ovation products. Although I have the complete system, I mainly use the Cell Therapy.

II. Mega Tek -- Same as above

1. Apply to scalp as you would a scalp conditoner or hair grease.
2. Gently massage the prduct into scalp with soft pads of your fingers.
3. Leave in at least one hour or overnight.
4. Rinse out, condition hair with favorite hair conditioner.
5. Put hair in protective style.

Which Product does what?

Mega Tek will thicken your hair -- fast! It will also strenghten your hair which will lenghten your hair.

Ovation Cell Therapy will lengthen your hair --- fast! It just doesn't thicken as quickly as the Mega Tek does. But it sure gives the length.

Shampooing your hair....

As often or as little as you wish. I use shampoo only once a month.

However, at least 3 times a week, I Condition-Wash with my favorite conditioner. After I rinse, the conditioner out, I apply either Ovation or Mega Tek to my scalp. If I'm sleepy, I leave it in overnight.

I even go out in public with this product in my hair. Ain't nobody gonna grow my hair but me, so I could care less about what anyone thinks.

Key Principle - Make it easy on yourself. The only method to focus upon is that this is a scalp treatment. And it's not complicated

Do your thing with it and forget about all of the extras, such as the oils, and whatever else you've been reading. You DO NOT NEED IT!

Oiling Your Scalp:

Only if you want to. And if so, use either Castor Oil or Jojoba Oil or Emu Oil. They are growth oils.

If you want to mix a little oil with the Ovation or Mega Tek, you can, but you do not have to. It's only an option. However, if you do, only use Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil or Emu Oil. Again, these are growth oils.

SHEDDING

It's happens, but do not panick. I had major shedding after the 3rd week of Ovation, but I survived and so did my hair.

Garlic saved the day and my hair and my nerves Garlic stops the shedding.

Garlic Tabs:

Internally: Take 1 -3 tablets per day. That's all you need. Don't overload on this because it's not necessary.

Externally: Make a garlic paste as follows:

About 1 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder (not Garlic Salt -- Powder only)

Mix with with enough Castor Oil (or Olive Oil or Jojoba Oil) to make a thin paste.

Apply this Garlic paste onto and into your entire head, hair and scalp. Cover your head with plastic cap and leave this mixture on your head for a least one hour. YOU DO NOT NEED HEAT!. Your body heat is quite sufficient. I use one of those gold mylar (foil) plastic caps and it truly heats up my hair on its own.

Now wash your hair with a mild shampoo and then condition your hair. Place into a protective style and Smile! Cause your shedding has just been 'checked' ...

Now if you want to spend extra money, you can purchase the Alter Ego Garlic Hair cream conditioner. I love this product and it smells so light and fresh and it works!

Here's one of many links for the product:

http://www.ibeautyny.com/goods_detail.asp?goodsIdx=2157

Moisture:

Keep your hair moisturized as well. Do what you know is best for moisturizing your hair. Use your favorite DC's (Deep conditioning products/regimes). Just make it easy for YOU. That's the Key --- making it easy for you to maintain.

Other Proteins:

Stay away from them. Both of these products are protein heavy and you do not need other proteins. It will dry your hair.

Here's a Treat for your Hair:

"The Kiya Fizzie" --- The KF Solution from our family member "Just Kiya"

Add a little Sea Salt (1/2 teaspoon) to a huge handful of your favorite hair conditioner. Any conditioner of your choice.

Mix well and apply to your hair. Cover with Plasic cap for at least an hour. Rinse out and your hair will be as soft as can be. This also Relaxes the ends of your hair. See pic #4 in my siggy pikistrip. Treat yourself to the Kiya Fizzie once a week. Your hair will love you for it.

Ladies this is it! I am so sorry for adding to the confusion. We all want to grow our hair super fast, well this is it! When I stopped adding all of the extras my hair grew. The only 'extra' in my regime is the use of the Garlic. That's it. My hair grew even faster.

Okay............now go grow that hair!



I'm going to ask DSD to post this up front to make it easier for the Newbies.

Until we get this posted up front just remember this is post number #3567.

Re: Ovation Cell Therarpy/Mega-Tek Challenge Sept. '08

thanks for the reminder about that summary from shimmie. every time i think of looking into this I see some 500 page thread and know that time should be spent reading for my diss. and I just can't do it. This is probably my last shot for these spots along my edges. I will likely go with the otc, because I don't care at all about thicker hair.

Re: Ovation Cell Therarpy/Mega-Tek Challenge Sept. '08

I initially added oils to my MT to make it more like OCT. I've continued adding oils because I like how it feels on my hair. :lol: I don't have the patience to oil my scalp, and then follow it up with the MT - :look: I'm sure it would make a difference, but.... ah well. I think Shimmie pre-oils to help the MT absorb better?

I'm by no means and expert, but I can take a shot at your question. I put my MT and a little oil in a color applicator bottle. It takes me about 5 minutes to part and put it on my scalp at night.

I apply every other night and sometimes consecutive nights. I wash out twice a week.

I've been doing this for 3 weeks and I have got about a half inch of growth, twice what I normally would have at this point in my relaxer cycle.

I don't add oil or pre-oil when using MT. :look:

I think that was just some people's personal preference. You don't have to do it.

ETA: Oooops, should have quoted the original question. Sorry, Kiya.

Justkiya and Shimmie, thanks for answering my questions about MT/Ovation. :grin:
You're so welcome Kimiche. :giveheart:

I don't know it all, but I can share my 7 months of using Ovation and then Mega Tek. With all of my trials and errors, I hope that it blesses someone. I'm still learning from everyone here as learning never ends.

Happy Hair Blessings to you.

Keep it Simple; Your Hair will Still Grow and Give you that full 'Swang'! :rocker:

I apply my MT every day. It only takes me about 5 mins to apply then I massage my scapl for about 10-15 mins. It feels sooo good. I think I might buy the OCT to see how it does with my hair. I am almost done my bottle of MT.

Re: Ovation Cell Therarpy/Mega-Tek Challenge Sept. '08

so does MT grow as fast as OCT? I thought they grew hair at the same rate. I switched to MT i think i'm the getting the same amount of growth maybe not.

Re: Ovation Cell Therarpy/Mega-Tek Challenge Sept. '08

I bought 2 bottles of MT and im waiting impatiently . Im getting my hair braided again cant wait!!! I just cant wait!!! However im still trying to figure out if I should put oil on my scalp before applying MT...I just dont get the ''It will absorb better with oil'' part. Because most freaking oil if put on my scalp will sit and cause buildup.... :S Im wondering if it will be better to use it straight and massage it or spray some water on my scalp and then add the MT. Im excited and a bit confused too.

Ha! I can't claim ownership to the color app bottle idea. It was one of those tips buried in the long, long thread. Before I found a bottle, I had also tried parting my hair and *spraying* the MT on my scalp. It wasn't bad, but I couldn't keep the good stuff from getting on my hair length. :perplexed

I'm using a bit of coconut oil. I also tried Hot Six oil but it was too....oily and thus had more build up. IMO, the only benefit to adding oil is to help spread the MT. I *think* you could achieve the same result with water.

I was under the impression that people were using the oil if they were not going to wash it out right away. Ovation is made to be washed out so if you want to just apply it nightly the oil helps to make sure there is no protein overload and then breakage

correct me if I am wrong someone!
