Spritzed this am and applied a heavy mix of Shea/EVOO/Argan/Amla/CON Leave-In before covering with plastic film and then my scarf. Ends are looking good, couple of snips off but really pleased with breakage progress from last week - losing only 1 or 2 tiny ends now at each M&S session.

24 days till my next length check!

That's what I like about wigs, I look hawt and flawless in 30 secs vs 3 hours, plus my hair is protected.

Man that sounds like a good combo! How long have you been using this mixture??

I ordered this ponytail holder: http://www.franceluxe.com/pc/9556/franceluxeponytailholder/index.html

I'm hoping it works as well as a banana clip but makes a better bun. It's my planned replacement for elastics. Even the metal free elastics cause breakage for me. Things with teeth work better.

I want one of these. Please let us know how it works. sometimes my banana clip is just too wide for what I'm trying to do.

@livinthevida Thanks!

1. I did talk to one person who said when they stopped they retained all they gained by using MN and they had no setbacks or after affects.
2&3. I dont know how long...I tried to go through the original MN thread to get more info on long-term usage. I think I'll create a new thread about that.

I'm a very adventurous person, always trying new things...and right now, my current thoughts is to 'ride the MN' train as long as it lasts, but I would definitely like to know more as well.

All this talk about MN makes me want to try it when i go on my cornrow summer reggie.... :yep:
 
Here are pictures of my extension braids.
They took a season of mad men on Netflix to complete. (9-10 hours) I used two packages of outre jumbo braiding hair. One of #30, one of #2.

I'd like to keep them in until June 30th.

Thanx @jprayze! I started thinking what exactly is in MN that helps it grow hair? hmmmm....maybe I'll join your new 2012 thread and try MN after our next length check on June 30th. Possibly July 1 - August 31 to see how things turn out? and if I do this I would have to admit I am using a magic elixir for hair growth! :lachen:

Right now I'm having way too much fun with Organic Coconut Oil (OCO) :lol:

Ladies here's a thread on MN recipes:
MN Users, and interested ladies support thread and recipes

TOOOO FUNNY @NikkiQ! are you in or planning to join @jprayze's Miconazole Nitrate (MN) Challenge (May 1 - July 31, 2012)? If Yes! I'd like to know your results in the upcoming weeks before I give MN a try :scratchch

@jprayze for those of us starting toward the end of your challenge will you begin a new one for the rest of 2012 if other's are open to join? :grinwink:
 
^^^^ not sure if I'm gonna join this round. If I get noticeable results,I may join the next one if there is one. :yep:

@NikkiQ I think I will too! Likely after our June 30th length check :yep:
Click to expand...

Yes, I think I'll start another challenge after this one...I want to check out those MN recipes...chavascandy got great results without even using it directly and I've been using it directly. Might be a little economical.

I'll thinking I will make it to APL by the June 30th length check and I'll have to give the credit to MN :spinning:

Last thing, I havent found it at Dollar Tree yet, but I have to remember to look at different stores since they all that different inventory.
 
Just finished throwing down in the kitchen. Food is looking yummy, but I am tired and hot as hayle.

How y'all ladies doing?

I'd be doing better if you shared some of that food

NikkiQ LOL!

I got home in a mood to cook - grilled sweet potato,lentil rice, stewed chicken, fried plantain and salad. :lick:

As my mother would say - 'eh. Looka all dis food, somebody would marry ya, girl' :rofl:

Just got done watching the video..2.5 months...WOW!!!

I wonder if she was mixing the MN with anything. I'd be scared to apply it daily on its own.

I haven't experienced much breakage at all since the Hair Mayo treatment. Turns out my hair was in need of protein; had I known this sooner I would've reached APL a long time ago. Oh well, live and learn I guess :ohwell:
My hair feels more coarse and a definitely stronger, so I plan on doing the treatments every 2-3 weeks.
