Here are my progress pictures. I'm obsessed now with tracking my growth. I'm not going to take any more pics for another 2 weeks. I would say a month but I don't know if I'd be able to contain myself. :drunk:

That's great growth!!
 
I would like to join this challenge for June and July. I just started using MN on 5/19.

What is your current length? I'm somewhere between full NL and grazing SL
How long have you used in MN? since 5/19
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? mixed with jbco, ayurvedic oils, and jojoba oil
What frequency will you apply it? 5-6 nights per week
Any other growth aids that you are using? Peppermint Pomade (sulfur pomade)
Anything else you care to add: I've been lurking in this thread. You ladies are getting great results. I hope I can get 1 inch per month.

jprayze It's hard to tell because they are frizzy and fuzzy anyway from the constant washing and rubbing the MN/oil in my roots, i will be able to tell in a week when they come down though.

LightEyedMami I think u will be pleasantly surprised when you take them down!
 
Checking in!

I apply my MN/WGO mix every other day, so I finished Day 2 last night.(I started on 5/27) No headaches so far, just some itching. I will probably increase to applying everyday, starting next week.

Spraying aloe vera juice in my hair seems to help with the itching.

Veeda thats amazing! Im not sure if you posted this already but im to lazy to look through the thread, but um, how are you using the MN?
Click to expand...
lindsaywhat, thanks so much. This is my MN mixture:

1 jar of BB Super Grow (blue & whit jar)
1 tube of Giant Brand Monistate
2-3 tablespoons of JBCO
2-3 tablespoons of Doo Gro Stimulating Growth Oil

I started out with the first 2 weeks just using it on my temples everyday. I stopped usage a week before my relaxer on 5/13/12. I resumed usage (on my entire head this time) a week after my relaxer. I was applying it everyday but my hair became too greasy and I began messing up pillow cases. LMBO. I've since cut back to using my mixture about 3-4x a week. I've also added megatek to my reggie. I've used it twice as a DC and a made a mixture of it that is too damn greasy (that I've only used 2-3 times).
 
@jprazy, thanks so much. I just want to make sure that I'm not hallucinating and not having the placebo effect you know? :lol: Also, I want to keep others motivated. You just have to find the combination that works for YOU! I'm sure my growth will slow down at some point. At that time, I will change my regi. Once I use my existing mixture up, I will take a month break and try my megatek mixture.
 
I really need to stop posting in here so much :lol:

I got my hair braided in a beehive on Friday, started applying my MN mix on Saturday and my braids are getting loose already. Idk if that's just from regular ol' loosening or if it's the mix. I haven't done anything to my hair but apply the mix and spray a light moisturizer on them every blue moon.

Wow that is great progress!! :yep: The longest my hair has ever been was shoulder length when I was relaxed. I hope to be at SL this time next year and at APL in 2014.

Are you still alternating with applying straight and with JBCO?
 
NikkiQ girl I love thie thread too, dont be 'shamed lol.
Well ladies today is the length check! Im wondering if I should take my braids down (that i just got on sunday but theyre too tight), or wait til friday and do my length check. Regardless, I'm excited to see some growth pics!

Thanks!!! I apply it straight and massage it in and then I follow up with oil and massage it in as well. It's sometimes JBCO, sometimes grapeseed, avocado, or apricot, depending on the weight I want. So I guess its sorta like mixing it, but I make sure the MN gets directly on my scalp. I still apply 2x a day, except on wash days.

0 out of 3 times for the week of 5/27-6/02 is the goal for the week.

For tha ladies that experience drying effects are you moisturizing your hair BEFORE appling your MN mixture?

I have been doing this and have not had ANY problems. I dont mix my MN with moisturizers I mix them with oils.

I just doesnt make sense in my head to mix something drying + moisture together thinking you will get moisturizng hair.....NOOOOO how about your apply moisture first and then your MN that way you know your hair is getting moisturized. But then again I also apply moisture to my hair 2x/day.

It kinda reminds me of taking a bath but trying to get clean.....you keep scooping up dirty water to clean yourself. Just take a shower LOL.....:lol:

Just got my 1st application of the week in after having a wash session.
 
Them 40 drops of peppermint that I put into those 3oz had my temples tingling like crazy, I am going down to 30 drops in the nxt batch LOL......
 
I just applied mn for the third day in a row this week. I just found a little squirt/syringe type thing, so I put my mn with a little bit of water in that so that I can be sure that I'm applying directly to my scalp without a lot of manipulation.
