Hi I'm a lurker of this thread and I was wondering if MN causes shedding like megatek does because of the accelerated growth?

HairRaiser I have heard that it can cause shedding, but I havent experienced any more shedding than normal. With that said, I am trying to be very proactive about shedding, prevent it before it can start. I just ordered the Alter Ego Garlic conditioner.
 
The process...lol...why I started straightening my hair for the length check 1 wk early

I actually did a personal length check but I will wait until the 1st to do the real one. Hopefully 1 more wk of MN will give me just a little more :-)

I have experience zero excessive shedding from my MN usage but then again I experienced no shedding with mega tek either
 
Checking in! I have so much newgrowth in my cornrows! I'm not sure if I wanna keep em in for the whole 2 months or renew them next week. I dont want my hair to matt up or dread. Is 2 months too long to keep cornrows ladies?

lindsaywhat yes I do see good growth even though it was only 11 days since I last posted a length pic. Hair is getting a lot thicker (fuller) and layers are growing out too. My hair seems to grow thicker before longer.

lindsaywhat I did a length check in the APL Challenge thread and I'm really close. Hopefully with MN...I can make it by June 30th.
 
After going to 3 different Family Dollar's I finally found one that had some MN 2%, so I am about to mix some up with my Emu Oil and JBCO and get it ready for my check in later today. OOOOhhhhh yea cant forget the Peppermint Oil.

Is it your own hair or with weave? If your hair is prone to matting then I say yes thats too long.
 
My hair growth has stalled :/ I think it's b/c I had to stop using my shower filter for the majority of the month may do to renovation ;( So I plan to up my game now that the bathroom construction is complete
 
Hi ladies!! :wave:

I'm back to bug you guys again. Sorry! I bought my MN after searching high and low :yay: and I was thinking of mixing it with 2 of my favorite SoftnFree GroHealthy products. Has anyone used any of their products before in their mixtures??

Hey NikkiQ where did u end up finding the MN?
 
Hi! I hope it isn't too late to join! :blush: I have been using MN since mid-april and I did a Big Chop (shaved) on April 1st. At that time I had a really really short cut like the infamous Amber Rose cut.

What is your current length? I am a very low TWA
How long have you used in MN? mid-april
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? One 2% tube mixed with MT, JBCO, EVOO, and cayenne pepper
What frequency will you apply it? Was applying every other night and will start every night this evening until end of this challenge
Any other growth aids that you are using? Biotin and MSM pills 1/daily

Starting photo attached!

No but I think mamaore mixes hers with a LI
Eta: I hate my phone and its auto check sometimes!
 
Just applied my MN mix with water instead of oil today, my scalp has felt a bit "gunky" lately, i guess because im used to not having anything on it.
 
Checking in for the final time..... 5 out of 5 times for the week of 5/20-5/26

I used my new mixture today, after buying more MN.

2nd Batch Includes the samething, just different amounts from last time.
1.59oz of Family Dollar MN 2%
0.5oz left over from the 1st batch
0.5oz of JBCO
0.5oz of Emu Oil
40 drops of Pepppermint Oil

3oz total of product
 
Haven't used MN for the entire week because I thought I was going to get a perm today. Decided to get a perm June 2nd instead, so now it'll be two weeks without MN mix on edges and MN spray on rest of hair. I'm using jbco on edges and QP elasta leave in on rest of hair in mean time.

Welcome lovestarr!!!
 
lurking in this thread since day one just waited to say that the brand is less drying than the generic and I got that tingly feeling from the brand. The main difference seems to to be the mineral oil. It has never been good to me.
