2013 MN Challenge

[Prettymetty]

^^Just looked at the beginning of this thread and sure enough this is the one I joined when I first tried MN. Yeah, I got good results for those two months. I think I was getting about 3/4" in each month for those two months. I need to try this again.

Why did you stop? Did the effects wear off after 2 months? Most ladies only use mn for 2 months at a time and take a break, but some go 6 months or longer without a rest in between. I guess I'll see how my hair responds after the 2nd month

Just wanted to update that I'm using MN every other day, taking hairfinity, and using liquid gold sulfur, but I didn't take an official starting pic! Oh well...all I need to know is my hair is growing LOL

I haven't used MN in a few months but I got good results this summer.

Prettymetty that's when I wanted to try out NJoy oil. I wanted to see if it would work just as well. I didn't know I was a slow grower at the time and needed all the help I could get. I might go ahead and get a couple tubes from Target now that I think of it.

I'm so excited about my blowout/length check on Tuesday. If I am bsb or longer I am gonna lose it

Froreal3 had did NJoy's oil work for you?

 

[Froreal3]

@Platinum it worked very well. I gained considerable length and thickness when I used it about 4 - 5x per week for six months or so. I fell off in 2014 because I was testing out vitamins only and no topical aids. I restarted the NJoy oil in July 2014.

ETA: Here's some pics of my progress from 2013 when I was consistently using sulfur.

Froreal3 Great progress!

 

[Froreal3]

Platinum thanks! I hope to get that much progress this year by going back to topical aids sulfur and probably MN.

I applied my mn mixed with a drop of lavender oil. The lavender keeps my scalp from being too oily and it smells good

I just got my hair blown out today so I won't be using mn for a week. I want to enjoy my sleek hair for a while. My hair is growing a lot faster with mn. At this rate I should be Bsl by March or April.

I am running low on my mn so I will stop at Walmart and get another tube this week. I use the Equate brand 7 day cream. It's only $5 a tube.

I am 4 days post blowout and I want to start applying my mn already. I want to grow at least 2 inches in 4 months so I can't get lazy

I am going to apply it every second or third day along with a mini massage. I still haven't bought another tube so I have to be light handed with it.

 

[Froreal3]

I'm gonna order that MN (probably 4%) on Amazon and start in a couple days. I want/need these two inches by April. I would be very happy with 5 inches this year.

I have started already. ..I don't know how I'm going to measure my growth...I don't straighten or do blow outs often. .

I have stayed already. ..I don't know how I'm going to measure my growth...I don't straighten or do blow outs often. .

You can do a monthly pull test with damp hair. My hair is kanky so if it isn't damp it won't stretch at all

 

[Prettymetty]

Guess who just got 2 tubes of Equate Monistat 7? This girl! I should've grabbed a few more, but I didn't want people judging me I have enough to last me until mid March

 

[Froreal3]

Prettymetty you're all up in my head. I just grabbed 3 tubes of 4% MN from Amazon. I should receive it in by Jan 2nd. Until then, I'm going to stop by Walmart and pick up one bottle of Equate MN.

How much was the 4%? It's so hard to find in stores

I bought Monistat 3. It has those applicators in the box. When I purchased it, it had the green box on the description. Now it's blue for some reason. I got it from this seller.

 

[Prettymetty]

I applied mn mixed with lavender oil, but I am getting tired of the smell of lavender. I want to buy a few more essential oils. Peppermint smells great...I want some grapefruit oil too. Just to mix things up a bit

Puritan.com is having a sale on essential oils

 

[Froreal3]

Massaged scalp w/some MN from Walmart. I don't think the MN 3 that I bought has the 4% because the one I saw at the store didn't. Oh well, I saw good results from 2% as well.

 

[KinksAndInk]

Is anyone hosting a 2015 challenge?

 

[Evolving78]

I started last night. I mixed it with jbco. I applied it on my crown and edges. I will use it every other day. I wash my hair once a week now, since it's in cornrows. My next length check won't be until I relax and I don't know when that will be.
