Sorry I just saw this lol. Sulfur 8 is a hair grease that's really great for helping with dandruff and other scalp issues. MN is minicazole nitrate, the key ingredient in Monistat and other vaginal anti fungals. I'm using it as part of my growtg regimen through the new MN challenge

So I'm chillin on the cantu for my edges. It was cool n nothing happened but it would just break my heart if it randomly started making my hair break because of the ingredients. So instead I just put WGO on my edges after my rollers were in. This way they are moisturized n I already know what the oil does to my hair. I'll see how it is tomorrow.

Using Nizoral 2% every couple of weeks in my reg. It has stopped my tender scalp problem. I apply it in sections to the scalp, tap the part and leave it on for a while before rinsing off. This keeps the tangling down greatly.
Trigger weekly HOT and nightly scalp massages. (Trigger/my oil mix mixed)

I was researching copper peptide on this site and ran across some information from Noni in the "Fact or Fiction aging = Thinning" thread. I googled, yahoo searched and came across a simple recipe of 4 oz. of emu oil to 2ml of copper peptide. I'm using this along with the stinky stuff and hair trigger. See below:
Noni wrote:
As you age, cell division and multiplication slows down, which means even your follicles are not replenished at the rate they were when you were younger; also the way your body processes food you eat gets sluggish especially if your body isn't as healthy as it could possibly be, due to bad habits you had as a child or just genetics.
But it doesn't mean you just have to curl up and die. Good health habits go a long way to making the most of what you have. People like Dr Pickart (www.skinbiology.com) are constantly researching ways to help the cells of the body regenerate (like he is one of the people that discovered copper peptides that help with renewing of the skin and has a few products in the works for hair). Also Tom Hagerty (www.hairloss-reversible.com) has a scalp exercise that improves blood circulation that optimizing nutrient delivery to the hair follicles, which can make up for the slacking of your body due to age. Then cutting out crap in your diet so that all you eat is actually beneficial cuts back on the toxins that take up space and further assault your cells so that you're basically doing the best you can for your body....and the list goes on.

So the WGO did nothing for my edges. I used the cantu again last night n loved it this morning. So used again last night. May still chill in Profectiv and may even use cantu for when I wanna slick my edges too.

We doing updates?
Mine are attached:
Right side (shortest side)
Left side
Back/crown (I've been to the gym already and laid on the back of my head, but I love my full, fluffy (maybe puffy), no scalp look back there)
Still wanna work on edges, but I love how the Cantu lays them down at night. I'm seriously thinking about not relaxing my edges at all for a whole year. They grow out nicely, it's just hard to maintain the demarcation line breakage when I retouch them since their so short.

Ok ya'll, I have an update:
April 1, 2012:
May 15, 2012:
Baby hurr that would've been gelled and swirled in 1996.
So after six weeks, it looks like I have more strands of hair on my edges (still very, very fine), and the hair that was there has gotten a bit longer. Am I psyching myself out, or do you ya'll see it, too?

Your edges look good NappyNelle. And that bun is just ridiculously gorgeous. I'm jealous. I love it on you.

Checking in! I'm still doing scalp massages daily and using emu oil exclusively on my crown, sometimes castor oil as well. I haven't been able to document my progress since my DD broke my camera and I lost my Razr. Will be getting these things back next month but until then I have a phone that I can't seem to get a clear picture with so I said why bother. I also missed my dermatologist appointment because my car clunked out but hopefully I will get in there before the end of the summer.
One thing that has me jumping for joy is one section of my thin spot that has been growing in straight for over a year now has curly fuller roots

Still massaging Hair Trigger in the area where my Durag was rubbing under my Wig.
I also started using M/N in that spot, to see if M/N & Trigger will speed things along.
So I'm Rotating a Variety of things focusing on that area.

We seem to be on the >> same page<< with our "Growth" Regimen.
Yeah, I have quite a bit I'm rotating.
I did decide to DC with Mega-Tek every other week (Old Formula).
I just did it for the 1st time last week. I let it sit for about an hour and Cowash & DC afterwards (Steam).
I'll incorporate that this Summer.

IDareT'sHair I wish that I could fine the old formula of mega-Tek. I use to order it from a horse magazine but now they only have the new formula. I did add some neutral protein filler to various conditioners to pump up my DC's and I added it to my hempseed mix for the strength as well.
