***2010 MN CHALLENGE***

[HarySituation]

MN shows increased solubility in oils.

BTW ladies what % of MN cream are you guys adding to your mixes but to avoid the dreaded headaches?

Also is it safe to mix it with MT?

I use both my MN and MT straight up and so far have not had ANY excessive shredding or headaches *fingers crossed*.

But then again I only use the MN (2%) on my egdes/nape so maybe that's why I'm not getting headaches. And I started taking garlic vitamins 2 weeks before I started using the MT to really get it into my system and nip shedding in the bud. I also recently started using Alter ego Garlic Conditioner.

I fiqured I'd try both without mixing first to see if I'd have any side effects then add things to it if need be later. I just figure maximum strength = maximum growth

Thanks for the info. I think I like the idea of the Garlic conditioner. I don't think we can get it here in the UK so I will look for an alternative....

Awesome....I'm in! I've been reading up on the MN growth aid and purchased 2 tubes of the FD 2% brand after reading a different thread. I think I'll mix it with the EO Growth Blend and apply to edges & nape 3x a week. I usually wash on Thursdays so I'll apply Friday, Sunday, & Tuesday. The pics of nape & edges are below...I'll add a full head shot later. Happy Growing Ladies!!!

Can you mix MN with a conditioner like V05?

Can you mix MN with a conditioner like V05?

I mixed with a liquid leave in (Ojon), and a couple drops of castor oil. I apply it with a small color brush.

I have not had any headaches or dryness.

eta: I also added 2 drops of peppermint essential oil and cayenne pepper. I forgot about the cayenne. The combo feels great on my scalp!

I'm in I started using MN back in November 2009 and I've experienced great results!!!! I've been using the Target Brand MN mixed with tea tree oil, rosemary oil and cayenne.

 

[Aggie]

Okay just in time. I'm in too. I had taken a short break from using MN but now I'm back on it for March 1st. My mix is in my fotki and my last pic is there as well in my latest album. I haven't taken any pics since. I'll try to take one this weekend.

I'm in, got some Daktarin. Does MN help with itching, cause my scalp itches a lot and I cant see any improvement from the MN. I've only started using it since monday. Starting Pics below. I'm recovering from some severe damage.

Carolinewtwin how are you mixing your MN or are you applying in straight?

 

[sunbubbles]

Ill use my straightened hair pic from 2 wks ago as my starting point pic. The 2nd pic is from the beginning of January..... (its still around the same length in the back because Ive had some breakage)

 

[LilBlackDevl]

I'm up for the challenge (my first one- I'm a newbie)! I'll be using a mix of MN (Neosporin AF) + Castor Oil + approx 15 drops Wild Growth hair oil. Right now, I'm NL with layers. Goal: shoulder length by August. Ambitious? Probably, but I'm excited to find out!

Hi stella, I apply jbco to my scalp then the mn. I'm only applying it to my crown and nape though. i've been applying it x2 a day. There isn't an awful lot in the tube so I'll probably need about 2-3 tubes per month i think.

 

[crystal6002]

Welcome everyone! just a heads up my laptop broke so i had to send it out to get fixed it will take two weeks to get it back im going to try to come on as much as i can using the family computer but there is ten people in my house lol so dont think i forgot about you guys!

 

[kitkat2011]

I want in, I went and purchase two bottle and I think I messed it up by adding to much oil, it was very runny, I drain the oil out but I was wondering if it is still good or if I should buy another set, this thing is really expensive but I really want my hair to grow. Please help.

 

[Miss Monae]

Here is my starting pic (taken fresh this morning):

My mix is ready and I am going in

 

[VirGoViXxEn]

Is it too late to join???

i currently use MT/MN mix with JBCO, Coconut Watercrest, Optimum Oil Therapy Moisturizer and whatever other oils i have around. I currently wigging it. I will post apic when my progress tee comes!!!

MT/MN is a greate alterante to OCT in my opinion my new growth is crazy!!!. MT alone made my hair thick but not long. Ovation gave me length but no thickness.

 

[GaiasDaughter24]

I found you guys!!! I couldn't find his page. I've subscribed now, though.

My hair is a little over 1 3/4in on the sides and 2 in. on top. I had been using Mega Tek for the past week and I've gained about 1/4 of an inch.

I'm using MN and MT. I applied MN tonight first for the first time and the MT on top of it. My MT is diluted but MN isn't. I think tomorrow I will mix it with EVCO. My MT is mixed with Castor Oil. I'll be applying it every day since I cowash every morning. I'm using Equate 2% from Walmart.

I just took a pic. I'll upload it now.

 

[trendsetta25]

[Miss Monae]

Ok, I started using my mix Sunday night (I cheated) and I am telling you no lie I already feel newgrowth coming in. I concentrated on my crown and nape section(s) because those are the places that need extra care. I need to go out and stock up on 6 months worth of MN so that I have no worries !

 

[LadyAmani]

MN on the first i am going to MN today also after i wash and condition. HHG Ladies!
