NaiyaAi

[nakialovesshoes]

I only missed one day during my 1st week of using the MN. I'm staying consistent. Still on a 30 day mission to make this a habit.

 

[NaiyaAi]

lindsaywhat What kind of stories?

 

[jessicarabbit]

NaiyaAi i cant remember where but i read about a lady who used that and ended up getting either cancer or a tumor, it was a while ago so the details are fuzzy to me

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

So I went to Walgreens and could not find it any where I also went to another store and no luck! Really!?! I guess I will try Walmart tomorrow.

 

[jessicarabbit]

HairPleezeGrow wow im surprised they didnt have any at walgreens!

Ok ladies help me out... I'm ready to start my man challenge but I have a few questions and these man threads are so long I'd be reading for days...
I'm relaxed and wash once a week, do I need to wash more then that when applying man? and
What kind of mn to oil ratio should I be doing?

Thanks so much...also I don't moisturize I between washed, I dont cowash...I put some dr miracles go oil on my scalp when it starts to itch and might spray it with some olive oil but that's it.
ETA: another Question...
How long before my relaxer should I stop using this?

 

[Mjon912]

These are the oils I already have, id like to use one of these since some of them are new that I bought on a whim and am not really sure how to use...my starting lenght is in my pic/avi

Eta posting from my phone sucks

HairPleezeGrow nothing generic or name brand??? You can also look for Nesporin AF (anti fungal).

Mjon912 I dont mix so I really can't speak from experience. I would say no less than 50/50...if you decide to go higher use like 60 MN/40 oil and so on. I've seen all kinds of combos...

Weekly washing is good. That's what I do, sometimes even biweekly if I'm wearing my hair straight.

Relaxed ladies usually stop MN prior to relaxing not sure how long prior to do you will want to check that out.

 

[jprayze]

erinmeng I thought I posted earlier but didn't see it, how about mixing the MN with oil instead of water?

 

[BBritdenise]

Has anyone here had results using mm? I haven't seen anyone talk about their progress or results

Just remember to keep your hair moisturized because MN can be drying

 

[ManiiSweetheart]

Bought my MN from family dollar today !! Mixed It with the orangics kids stuff from the video. With some end mender ... Glycerin .. And oils

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

Sorry just got out of church. No they didn't have any not even generic. I will try family dollar on the way home bc I don't feel like going to Walmart

 

[LightEyedMami]

Checking In...i didn't apply yesterday ( i was to concerned with clubbing )....but after i wash and condtion today i will apply!

 

[Mjon912]

I've never moisturized my hair, like ever, I wash n set once a week and that's it so I am clueless of what I should be doing to moisturized my relaxed hair...I don't want to mess up the protein moisture balance and have my hair turn to mush...I cowshed one summer and that's what happen, terrible

Goal for the week of 5/20-5/26 is a total of 5....

The focus will be my edges thsi week so I will hit yall once I get one in .
Imma try to squeeze something in tonight after my wash session

 

[Lanea87]

Has anyone here had results using mm? I haven't seen anyone talk about their progress or results

BBritdenise, some ppl have mentioned stuff but for me in general I am not stalking the growth. I will do my monthly check-in like the guidelines instruct, so you might not hear/see anything from anyone until around the 1st or so. I will be updating either on the 23rd (thats when I took my other pics) or the 1st like everyone else. Hope that helped!

 

[jessicarabbit]

BBritdenise

BBritdenise stay tuned for our 1st length check June 1st!

Just checking in. Did my mn with a mix of sulfur and coconut oil again last night. this time I did my whole head. Was always afraid I would get a headache but I didn't! I can't wait to see progress pics on the 1st. I may not do mine until June 8th (if that's OK) because I didn't get my MN until May 8th.

THANKS
