So far so good. Been applying MN every two days then skipping a day. I think I would like to try Sulfur 8 with my MN.

Anyone mixing Sulfur 8 with MN mixture?
 
Checking In,

I'm applying my MN mix tonight … it's been weeks since my last application. I have a small tube of 2% that I am going to throw into the applicator bottle along with jojoba and GSO. Hoping to get them tingles …

I stopped feeling tingles long ago. About after a week or two of starting MN. I added some Eucalpytus oil to my mixture a few days ago and got a little cool/tingle feel a few times, but now that's going away already too.
I guess the scalp just gets used to it.:ohwell:
 
Hi ladies, I am new to the HHG process, and I have been reading threads but this is the first that I am replying on... Can someone tell me the mix and how the consistency of the mix should be? I am very interested in being apart of the challenge if its not too late. Thank you!

There are so many different mixes. I think what works best is if you use an existing product on your hair. Say for instance you use a particular oil or cream/pomade on your scalp already, it's easy to just mix MN into that and not complicate your routine. If you mix with oils, it won't mix completely and you will have to shake before every use.
 
Later today, I will put together a list of some of the mixes that I have used since I first started using MN.
 
Made my new mix a little too runny yesterday... =( My new order of MN is in the mail so when it gets here I'll add some more to thicken it up.
 
I'm almost out of my MN mix so I will need to purchase some more :sad:. I've also noticed the plastic container I'm using is sucking up all of the good stuff. I do remember reading that plastic absorbs oils because its porous so with my next batch I will use a glass container instead :yep:.
 
Hey ladies I just wanted to check in and update you guys.

Its been over two weeks with MN and I think I noticed alotta growth. I'm so excited because I feel like I'm getting so much closer to my goals I dont wanna stop using it at all.

M&S daily Protective Styling and MN+Sulfur 8 mix everynight I'll update you guys again in two more weeks

I started looking through the old threads and at first, I used MN directly on my scalp twice a day. This is when I first saw the growth benefits of MN. I have to search a bit further to see when I started mixing. I started mixing because I have trying to simplify my daily routine. I was massaging MN followed by oil on the scalp, so I was thinking it would be better to do it at the same time.

Here's what I did so far...I have mixed some of the MN with ORS olive oil and grape seed oil. It was kind of runny but I survived it. What I would like to know if when being applied is it supposed to be runny or should it be like a cream? Also how long should the tube of 1.59oz last if being applied 4 times per week? I am starting off slow but I plan to increase to daily next week, just need some guidance :sad:.

Thank you!
 
What is your current length? Shoulder length

Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? second time however the first time doesn't count only used it for a few weeks couldn't afford it..didn't really see a difference.

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? directly but will also be using oils alternatively

What frequency will you apply it? I will try for everyday but probably every other :ohwell:

Any other growth aids that you are using? I am taking biotin, l-cysteine, and H/S/N

Anything else you care to add? I hope to achieve excellent growth my hair is so uneven...not even sure im shoulder length my hair is short in the front long in the back.

@jprayze - my compliments to and thank you for carrying this challenge into 2013.

I would like to join but I won't - mainly because of commitments and time coupled with the fact that I joined last year's challenge and did not finish it:sad:. "Life" kept me otherwise engaged.:spinning:

Last night after I saw this thread - I jumped in my car, went to a local 24 hr chain and purchased two tubes of 4%. It was VERY expensive but I know if I didn't buy it then - it would take forever for me to remember to buy it. I came home, mixed it with Sulfur 8 hair/scalp conditioner (a.k.a hair grease :lachen:) , applied it and massaged my scalp. What I realized tonight is that I would have to take my braids apart each night to apply the MN/Sulfur 8 mix , over manipulating my hair. So tonight I made a different mixture, consisting of oils (MTG, EVCO, EVOO, Bhaharanji, Brahmmi and Sesame oil) to use on days when I won't take my braids out.
One (or several) of the many things I did the last 6 months of 2012 gave me very good thickness and growth and I hope to re-discover what it was and start growing again.
So I guess I am an unofficial challenger.

HHG to all!

The Consistency is really your presence. Mine is kinda runny because its oil but others prefer a creamy mix. How long your mix lasts depends on god much you added to the MN but I think on an average that size tube would last 3 weeks to a month.

Idk about PCOS hair loss and MN, but I will say I think MN works better at increasing length and thickness versus regrowing hair that is lost. My hair grows longer and thicker but it's taken forever for this small bald spot I have to regrow again. I'm just starting to see little hairs.
 
I finally made my MN mix! I found a container of sulfur 8 that I forgot I had so I mixed a tube with that and appliedit last night. My jbco just came in today so I might add that. I'll apply between every night and every other night.

[*]What is your current length?
NL
[*]Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN?
Nope, I've used it before but I was very inconsistent so I don't even know how it helped.
[*]How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)?
Mixed with sulfur 8 and jbco.
[*]What frequency will you apply it?
Everyday to every other day.
[*]Any other growth aids that you are using?
Nope. Unless you count vitamins but that's for my health.
[*]Anything else you care to add?
Nah.
[*]Don't forget a starting pic!
I don't have one with my hair straightened that shows the length. :(
