Ok so I had some extra MN laying around the house (yes I do have various feminine care needs for emergencies cause you never know), I had a tube of the pre-filled applicator ones from Rite Aid which contained 4% MN and a bit of the tube 2% MN that came with it. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and see what this is about since I likely wont be using this stuff any time soon.
So here's my mix, I decided to use my moisturizer because I dont want to put grease in my hair:
- 1 Tube of the MN 4% mixed in with half of the tube of the 2% MN
- approx. 2 TBSP of Jamaican Mango and Lime Island Oil (contains Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Carrot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Ginko Nut Oil, and Olive Oil) - I love this oil, smells good too
- approx. 2 TBSP of Elasta QP Mango Butter
I mixed it all up in a small container (empty make-up container purchased at Ricky's) and whipped it with a chop stick then a little bobby pin which really got it mixed up. It's creamy, not heavy, I put it on my scalp like I'm greasing it (lol I havent used those terms in ages). I'm on day 3 now, I use it sparingly because I can tell that if I use too much it may feel heavy. I massage it onto my scalp and usually bun up or if before bed, pin curl or tie down with a scarf and baggy my ends. I'm starting off with a little bit and will adjust if I dont see any results. So far, so good.
This is what my mix looks like. Is the sulfur etc really needed? Again I'm going off of less is more for right now, I hate to put heavy things on my scalp. I like this mixture so far, hopefully it wields the same results.
