Cowashing daily or every other with Growth Aids...

[BrockStar]

Who does it and do feel like your growth aid get "washed out" when you do? I just started MN last night and now I'm like...ummm do I wash now?

Im doing MN also. I co-wash 2x week. and MN every other day. I don't apply it the day before wash days. I feel like that would be a waste.

I co wash daily, and I'm about to start using an mn mix today. Right after I co wash, I'm gonna put on my leave in and then apply the mn to my scalp. I figure by the next day, it will have soaked in. As long as you keep putting it on every day, it shouldn't be a problem. I asked gymfreak this question, and that's what she told me. So it shouldn't be a problem, cause gym knows what she's talkin about

I did a co-wash/mn reggie in Nov and Dec and got excellent results! I would do MN on Mon and co-wash Tues night, MN Wed and co wash Thurs and so on. It was like the perfect combo. My scalp was very happy and my hair grew like the dickens.

Thanks for your responses! I think I'll do Growth mix one day, then co wash the next and keep going like that.

Co signing with the responses^^^-I think as long as it has time to penetrate at least overnight it's good to go.

I wash deep cond. then apply MN & BB Serum and let it soak in for 1-2 nights then wash again. In between the washes I apply more leave-ins and S curl no drip to moisturizer my hair and spray Surge on my scalp (I figure the MN has soaked in). On the 3rd day I wash my hair and re-do this process. My new growth is off da chain

I've been co-washing every 2-3 days & applying my MN growth mix every day

My routine has been something like this:

Mon
Co-wash + Herbal ACV Rinse + apply MN Growth mix to scalp + leave-in conditioner to hair

Tues
Apply MN Mix to scalp + leave-in conditioner to hair

Wed
Repeat Monday's or Tuesday's routine .....

I never allow more than 3 days to go by without co-washing

I co-wash frequently b/c 1) my hair LOVES co-washes 2) my scalp does not like buildup at all! Even though I do not add oils to my mix, the MN & Capsacian creams are too much for my scalp after only a few days so I HAVE to wash!

So far others have had success w/ MN even when washing frequently....

It's only been almost 2 weeks for me...I notice growth but I will officially check length after I make 1 month...

Awesome info here!

Anyone have to give up low-mani to do the MN? I wear my hair wash&go most of the time, so I can easily co-wash without combing.

But to apply MN every other day is extra mani for me.

Thanks ladies! You've helped so much!

I don't think it would be too much manipulation. Just mix mn with an oil and put the mixture in a nozzle tip bottle. Like the top on BT, or Elmer's glue. I got one of those types of bottles from my bss and I put my mn mix in that.

Anywho, just put the tip on different points on your head and let the mix drip down your head. Massage gently with your fingertips, and you're done

I don't cowash all of my hair. Twice/week I oil rinse with a heavy dose of castor oil near the roots and lighter on the ends. Each morning, put just then ends and hairline under the water, apply leave-in, and seal. So my growth aids don't get rinsed off, I'm not going outside in the cold with a wet scalp, and I get to freshen up my WnG. Not to mention it dries much faster when only the last few inches of length are wet.
