Just applied MN mixture last night.

  • What is your current length? Not sure. BSL I think.
  • Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? Since November 2012.
  • How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? I mix 1.59oz of MN with 1/4 of a 4oz jar of Doo Gro Vitilizer (purple).
  • What frequency will you apply it? 5-7 times a week.
  • Any other growth aids that you are using? None.
  • Anything else you care to add? Last relaxer was 02-17-2010 and I still have about 4-5 inches of relaxer at the ends. I figured the perm should be out by now. Maybe my hair grows slow?
  • Don't forget a starting pic! Look below. Don't bag on my ends. I know they need to be cut.:look:

I've been applying the MN mix twice a day for almost a week now. I must not be super sensitive because I don't have any headaches/tingling and the amount of MN in my mix is a lot. I already finished off the tube I bought last week. :look:

I bought another tube today, but I will use it more sparingly by adding more coconut oil. Anyway, I won't be taking measurements until the end of the month. I'll just keep applying the MN faithfully and hope for the best. :)
 
Still in the Challenge, waiting for my 6pk monistat to be shipped.
 
I will be starting my mn again next week! So excited. I hope it gives me more thickness. I will be alternating between mn & jbco.

Hopefully my wash n go will be longer at the next check in too.
 
Getting Senegalese twists right now. It should be easy to track my new growth with them.

What are Senegalese twists? Can I do them with just my natural hair?

They look like this:

So you could definitely to a thin twist, but it wouldn't look exactly the same.

I put JBCO in my mix. It contains the growth aid (MN), moisturizer (ORS olive oil hair lotion) and thickening agent (JBCO). Now all I have to do is moisturize my line of demarcation while I'm parting through my hair, I've had some long strand breakage because I been missing this step.

Ladies, please help with a question:

Is there a wait time between applying MN and getting a relaxer like with using a Sulfur mix? I'm getting a relaxer the week of 1/20 so if necessary, I'll have to stop soon. I've been applying my mix daily. THANKS!

Ooo, love me some Senegalese twists. I've had them off and on for years.

I stopped a month prior to relaxing. But I think some ladies stop 2wks prior to relaxing. I have an extremely sensitive scalp, so I didn't want to risk burning.

Braids barely stay in my hair. I'm looking for a good go to protective style that won't be affected by massaging the MN daily. Right now I'm bunning it.

I've been applying every other day since Jan. 1 with my mix of 2% + 4% + Cantu oil moisturizer + cayenne oil + MTG. I'm also jogging for an hour on days I don't apply for increased circulation.

Where can I find cayenne oil?
 
Got my MN today. I'll be washing and applying it directly to my scalp tonight.

:-O, I should stop now then. My relaxer is in 2 weeks.

Are any of you ladies bagging your hair after applying the MN?
 
Dang, why am I suddenly experiencing increased shedding again? UGH! The same thing happened the last time I took it MN but I was hoping it was the Nioxin withdrawal.

This is just one day of shedding/breakage:
View attachment 187407

I had the same amount yesterday. It's shedding and breaking (short and long hair). I'm going to clarify tomorrow and stop the MN to see if that is the problem.
