Quick big-up to CURLYMOO:
This young woman is the bomb. I am not officially in the thread , but I use it regularly and have since Sept (maybe August?) and I really don't know what I am doing. I've seen growth, but I promise....IT'S BY ACCIDENT!!!
I PMed CurlyMoo to ask her her regimen and to tell her a bit about myself and she just gave me everything I needed to make MT work best for my hair type and health concerns!!! Nothing too complicated, but right up my alley. Wow!
I just want to thank her publicly and also to say to all the women of this board that you are all really special. I "visited" another site yesterday, just curious to see if I could learn anything new, but it was so catty and mean on just the few pages I read that I could never join there.
You don't have to belong to a particular faith to just be kind and considerate!!! I was like...DAAAANNNNNGGGG!!!! It happens here on occasion, but it's the exception, not the rule. Thank the good Lord for that!
Anyway...thanks for being who you are, women of LHCF, and for making this place a place where we learn together instead of tearing each other down regularly.
Much love...

Closer, I'm sorry for your dissapointment. My advice would be to up the amount of days that you apply MT. Instead of 3x a week lets try 4-5x a week. And maybe you can apply a peppermint oil or a product that makes your scalp tingle to your scalp before you MT. How are you using MT? Do you appy to hair for 10min and rinse or do you apply to scalp?
sounds like moisture overload. I would definitely do a protein treament. start with a light one if your worried, such as aphogee 2 minute.Ok so I’m having a few problems and I’m wondering if there is anyone here who can help me.
So here goes:
I put MT on my scalp every night and maybe some oil, wrap it and go sleep.
In the morning I put some Mizani Rose H20 then some oil to seal. Sometimes I don’t need to do this because my hair still has moisture from the night before
I co-wash either 2 or 3 times a week and DC 2 times a week with Herbal essences or Tresemme. Wash once every 2 weeks.
Here’s the problem, I’m still experiencing breakage and my hair is really soggy and turns to mush when I apply water to my hair during a wash.
I really wanna do a protein treatment (have never done one before) But I’m scared because MT is protein and I don’t want to over do it.
My hair is ear length so I’m getting more worried about losing hairs
So I’m just looking for any suggestions or feedback on regimen which might help solve the problem from the wonderful and wise ladies on LHCF
Please help
TIA

I will probably up the # of days. I didn't want to go into protein overload because of my transition. I apply it directly to my scalp at night and then i place a shower cap over my head and i'm off to sleep. In the morning, I just rinse and moisturize and style as usual.
I do the same for the OCT. I alternate between the two. At first I alternated days, now i just one a month and keep switching them off.
Do you think you have what I had, Hair Anorexia, Literally I felt my hair never grew even though I went from APL to MBL It just literally looked the same to me until I looked at pictures years later, I was like what is wrong with my eyes. Now I am growing my hair back out and still feel the same way, people say yes it is growing, I personally think they are crazy buttttttttttt, I am taking pictures so I will do that every other month to see for myself in an unbiased eye! (Talk myself into thinking it is someone else) LOL
OK, here's an update/question:
I've been using MT as a leave-in for about three weeks. I wash every 3-4 days with Hello Hydration and use MT and Elasta QP Mango Butter to two-strand twist my natural hair. I know it's early, so I'm not expecting a huge change in growth yet. But, I swear to you, every time I use the MT I get the WORST headache... it makes me dizzy almost. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do? I know I can opt not to use it as a leave-in and just as a DC after I co-wash... but I don't want to lose out on the benefits of using MT either. Will it not work as well if I just wash it out? No pain, no gain, I suppose, but DANG!!! Any suggestions?

Can I please join this challenge or is there a better time for me to try to join? I am tired of being the fake member.
I am sure that almost everyone here knows about this, but I made an accidental discovery about my use of Aloe Vera Gel and MT used together that probably accounted for the growth I had last year. I am a relative newbie, so please forgive my slowness for what the more experienced growers already know.
I am only posting this for new user who may not know we can use AVG and MT on our scalp for great growth. The AVG might be a nice alternative to MN for people who don't want to use that but still want something with antibacterial properties. (I know MN is antifungal...but anti anything bad is fine with me! )

I hope this is helpful and not overly redundant.

Use less. Use a LOT less. I don't know how much you are using, but the only time I get headaches is when I use A LOT at a time. Put it into a tub, dip just the tip of your pinky finger into it, and rub along an about 3-5 inch 'part' on your scalp. Otherwise, you'll have to use it less.
Welcome CJ! I'll add you now.
Ladies, I am devestated!!!!!!
I ordered a brand new bottle of MT and a new bottle of OCT. Its on the way. I was all super uber excited. I did my hair over again last night and..... my wig is stuck to my head!!! I can't get this freakin thing off! Usually I use a satin cap to bond, but forgot to purchase one. So I tried to be slick and just use 4 stockin' caps.... Did not work. Now this thing is stuck on my head for the next three weeks so I can not apply my regimen until then. Ooooooo I'm mad!! I want to actually take it down, but that is a waste of $150 bucks worth of hair!
I still may take it down. That's too much time wasted. I could have gotten half an inch in the next three weeks...
Hi girls,
I'm just sharing my February update pics. Later.
