For additional curl defining products, check out our Curl Enhancing Cream and Essential Hair Oil.

  Yes.
• Are your products Paraben free?
  Yes.
• Are your products nut free?
  Ovation haircare products are free of nut related ingredients and are manufactured according to current Good Manufacturing Practices. Please note: Our facility does produce products that include nut derived ingredients. We recommend you conduct an informal “patch test” under supervision of your physician to determine if our products are indeed suitable.
• Can I use Ovation Hair products when pregnant or nursing?
  Yes, all Ovation Hair products are safe while pregnant or nursing.
• Do you have a fragrance-free line?

  Cell Therapy Hair Treatment nourishes the hair and scalp with proteins, vitamins, and amino acids that bind and absorb into the hair shaft to create thicker, longer, stronger, and visibly healthier hair.
• How often should I use Cell Therapy Hair & Scalp Treatment?
  We recommend incorporating Cell Therapy into your haircare washing regime 2-3 times per week. Do not exceed three Cell Therapy Hair Treatment applications between shampoos. Overuse of Cell Therapy Hair Treatment may result in stiff or weighed down hair, and possible breakage. Call us for a personalized regime to work Cell Therapy into your haircare routine at 888.411.3252
• Should I use Cell Therapy Hair & Scalp Treatment if I have a Brazilian Blowout® or Keratin Treatment?
  We recommend consulting with your stylist before incorporating Cell Therapy into your hair care routine if you have a Brazilian Blowout or Keratin Treatment. Cell Therapy contains keratin and proteins which could cause protein overexposure, leading to dry, brittle hair. Please keep in mind our sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners are safe to use anytime.
• Can I use Cell Therapy Hair & Scalp Treatment with other hair growth or strengthening products?
  Ovation products are not medicated; we do not recommend that you use in combination with medicated hair growth products. Please consult your stylist or dermatologist before incorporating any other product into our Ovation Hair Care Systems.
• How much Cell Therapy Hair Treatment should I apply with each treatment?
  A quarter to half dollar size amount, depending on hair length.
• Which Cell Therapy System should I use?

  Our Cell Therapy Systems are the perfect way to experience the amazing benefits of Ovation products. These three-step systems provide a Shampoo, Cell Therapy and a Conditioner that work synergistically to maximize performance and cost-savings.

  The Cell Therapy formula is the same in each system – including the Men’s Max Pack (fragrance varies for the men). The difference between the systems resides in the moisture levels in the Shampoo & Conditioner which complete the system. We recommend choosing your Cell Therapy System based on your hair type and/or hair care concern.

  Individuals with dry, damaged hair we recommend our Moisture System. For those with baby fine or limp hair, we recommend our Volume System which provides minimal moisture. Our Balance system offers a balance of moisture and volume and is best for most hair types, including fine hair types with dry ends. Our Color Protection System is perfect for color-treated hair, formulated with Quinoa, rice proteins, amino acids and nutrients which provide color protecting properties. Our Curl System is perfect for curly and kinky hair types and is formulated with marshmallow extract for added slip and moisture.

  If you would like a personalized recommendation, our Personal Account Representatives are available to help Monday through Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm PST at 888.411.3252

• How long do Ovation products take to work?
  Our product formulations are hair maximizers, and most customers notice that their hair appears stronger and thicker after a few uses; however, typical results are apparent after 4-6 weeks. Results can vary for each client.
• I only wash my hair a few times a month. Will Cell Therapy Hair Treatment work for me?
  Yes. When washing hair, use the Routine Therapy Treatment method as directed on the bottle. Between shampoos, apply Cell Therapy Hair Treatment to moist hair. Massage the product into the scalp using your fingertips. Leave in for as long as two hours, then rinse. Many clients do not want to rinse their hair because of the styling that they receive every 1-2 weeks, so they leave Cell Therapy massaged into their roots like a lotion and wait for the next shampoo to rinse. Do not exceed three Cell Therapy Hair Treatment applications between shampoos. Overuse of Cell Therapy Hair Treatment may result in stiff or weighed down hair, and possible breakage.
• If I wear extensions or relax my hair, can I still use Cell Therapy Hair Treatment?
  Yes. The ingredients in Ovation products are all naturally derived, so they do not interfere with any chemical processing. Real extension hair may absorb excessive protein, so it is important to concentrate application to the scalp. Refer to stylist care recommendations for additional information.

Men

• Are the shampoo and Cell Therapy in your Men’s Max Pack different from the other Ovation products?
  No. All Ovation products are formulated exactly the same and designed to serve the hair care needs of both men and women. The only variable is the fragrance. The Men’s Shampoo is equivalent to the Color Protection Shampoo, with a more masculine fragrance.
• Why doesn’t the Men’s Max Pack include the Conditioner?
  Our studies have shown that men typically prefer not to use a moisturizer as part of their daily hair treatment. Our Men’s Max Pack includes only the Men’s Shampoo and Cell Therapy Hair Treatment. For men who prefer a moisturizer, we recommend our Balance system.
• Can I apply the Hair Gel to dry hair?
  Yes, Ovation Men’s Healthy Hair Gel can be applied to wet or dry hair. The gel offers flexible hold and will vary depending on styling. For a dry hold, use a small amount before blow-drying. For a firmer hold or a wet look, apply to wet hair using a bit more product.

Conditioners & Mask

• Will the Moisture Conditioner weigh my hair down?
  No. We do not use oils or waxes that can weigh down your hair.
• Why do I need to use Moisture Conditioner?
  Our Moisture Conditioner adds moisture and softens your hair, as well as increases shine, prevents breakage, and maximizes hair length. Using the Moisturizing Conditioner enhances the effectiveness of all other Ovation products by working synergistically to balance proteins and maintain nourished, moisturized hair.
• Will Ovation’s Volume Conditioner weigh my hair down?
  No, ingredients are added for volume. We recommend the Volume Conditioner for fine hair.

Mask

• How often should I use the Intensive Repair Hair Mask?
  As often as you deem necessary. We recommend using the mask once a week at a minimum – depending on hair condition.
• Should I replace my crème rinse/conditioner with the hair mask?
  No. The Intensive Repair Hair Mask is a moisturizing treatment to be used in addition to your regular routine. While conditioners provide detangling benefits, the hair mask was developed to provide deep, intensive repair to your hair. We recommend using this intensive repair hair mask once to twice a week depending on hair condition.

Shampoo

• Can I use Ovation Hair Shampoos every day?
  Yes. Our Shampoos offer a gentle cleanse perfect for everyday use. We recommend using Ovation Clarifying Shampoo 1x per week - 1x per month depending upon hair needs.
• Do Ovation Hair Shampoos contain sulfates?
  The Volume, Color, Curl and Moisture Shampoos are sulfate- free. Our Clarifying and Lux Shampoos formulas include Sodium Laureth Sulfate, a gentle, foaming surfactant that is derived from natural coconut extract. It is gentle on hair, and will not strip away highlights, unlike other products containing harsher sulfates.

Detangler

• Can I use this with any Ovation treatment system?
  Yes. Our Leave-In Detangler Spray supports any Ovation treatment system for thicker, stronger, longer hair by eliminating tangles for reduced breakage.
• Can I use the Leave-In Detangler Spray on wet or dry hair?
  Yes, you can use our Detangler Spray on wet/damp hair before combing or on dry hair to target tough tangles.
• How much of the Detangler should I spray onto my hair?
  The amount you require will depend upon the length of your hair. The detangler spray will not weigh your locks down, so spray evenly and liberally.

Hair Oil

• Can I use the Essential Hair Oil on wet and dry hair?
  Yes. Ovation’s weightless hair oil penetrates hair to restore brilliant shine and can be applied to damp or dry hair, one time or throughout the day as needed.
• How should I use the Essential Hair Oil?
  Ovation Essential Hair Oil can be used to condition, style or add shine as a finishing touch to your hair. It's also great for oiling the scalp if you have braids.
• Does Ovation Essential Hair Oil contain any silicones?
  No. Ovation Essential Hair Oil is all natural and silicone free.
