I don't really co-wash. It's more like a water rinse and mid-week condition. That s how. Used it though. The scent lingered even after my rinse out, leave-in, and sealant.

Thanks Nik! One thing I can say is that his journey has granted me much patience. I've learned that it's not automatic you have to work for healthy hair. I love the support through this board...probably wouldn't have even pursued naturalness!
Can't wait to see where I will be by Dec.

Mjon912 what kind of clip? if it has teeth that can snag and pull I say avoid at all costs. If its flat and just a smooth surface this is much better. I use to clip my hair with a barrette (the ones that snap on) yet now I use a bobby pin or two to tuck in

Great results @gvin89! I can see a big difference in length and thickness on your ends between January, March, and May! Did you change anything in your reggie to get such good results this time?Braids out...hair spa day completed...progress pic below:

@jprayze my only questions are:
1. what happens when you stop using mn? is there like massive shedding, dry scalp, or some awful setback?
2. how long is considered safe enough to use mn? weeks, months, years?
3. anyone out there we know who has used mn for their entire hair growth journey? If Yes! I'd like to hear from them!
I can only speak to Coconut Oil and this stuff works

checking in! nothing new to report, just need to calm down with my addiction to buying half wigs. It's like I can never find the perfect one. I hate looking "wiggy".

livinthevida Thanks!
1. I did talk to one person who said when they stopped they retained all they gained by using MN and they had no setbacks or after affects.
2&3. I dont know how long...I tried to go through the original MN thread to get more info on long-term usage. I think I'll create a new thread about that.
I'm a very adventurous person, always trying new things...and right now, my current thoughts is to 'ride the MN' train as long as it lasts, but I would definitely like to know more as well.

I'm here...After reading the bunning to WL thread I'm deciding to bun for a year!!! May to May!!! I plan on washing and roller setting every friday and wearing a loose pony on the weekend, then bunning with a clip and no elastic during the week..I'll keep doing my monthly length checks and let my hair down in sept (10th-12th)...dec 1, valentines day and then May!!! Woohoo...wish me luck. I'm hoping to be WL in a yr
FAITHVA...I might have to take you up on that offer... I definitely need to b checked
LIVINGTHEVIDA... Yea I was switching between one of those small metal clips used to roller set with and a long black clip...the black clip has some teeth so I'm going to go ick up some bobby pins and a long clip with no teeth...thanks!!!

Thanks so much! I think I've finally learned how to "listen" to my hair and create a good reggie. The only thing I did in January was join the Castor Oil Challenge and started sealing my ends nightly with castor oil...
