Tonight a took a tube of MN and mixed it with 1 tbs vatika oil and 1 tbs jbco. Added a little water and mixed for a creamy consistency which now looks like a relaxer. I massaged this into my scalp. I will be alternating with this and my other mix that is only about 25% MN. I will do this until the end of challenge but will use every night.

Love you polish color!!! I want!!!!!

MJ Checking in :grin: went to the store and got some regular Monistat 7, when I run out of this generic MN mix I'll try it with that! Hopefully it helps With the dryness...rollersettin my hair tomorrow, it'll be the first time I'm seeing my hair straight in weeks! I'm so excited, will definitely post pics tomorrow...I only do one length pic a month, at the beginning so I only have a pic from my may check to compare it to but we will see
 
Just a reminder ladies-- the first official length check is tomorrow, especially for those that started on day 1!!! Veeda and I are already done and we promise not to post any pics for at least 2 wks, right Veeda?:lol:
 
Being that I just started last week I will post a starting pic from when I blew dry and lightly flat ironed a week before I started this challenge. I will do a length check (prob just a blow out) at next check date

Eta: oops forgot to add pics already lol
 
@jprazye, Yeap, I'm not posting any more pics for the next few weeks (even though I took some temple shots this morning) UNLESS my hair grows to my waist overnight. :lol:

Has anyone else been dealing with the itchies after applying their mix? :look:

I just started using mine on Saturday and it's been itching every day since then.

NikkiQ, I don't have the itchies but I have tingles; almost like something's maneuvering through my scalp. It's kinda of hard to explain the feeling but it doesn't itch.
 
I clarified my scalp (and im currently DC'ing), my scalp was sooo gunky and dry from the generic i had been using...so i went ahead and bought the Brand Name MN and i will apply that (starting today) since my scalp is freshly clean..I think i will mix it with water and maybe a few drops of castor oil .....jprayze how did you do your side by side comparison pics?...i would like to do that next week when i post my progress pics :yep:

I go to the Paint Program under Accessories. Select the option "Paste From" and select the 1st pic and then repeat and save the whole thing as a jpg.
 
Ladies i have a question...how do you guys know when your hair is growing from MN, as opposed to something else?....For instance, i have recently got great with my deep Conditioning ( i was pretty bad at it before, i was only doing it like 1x a month) now i do it like 2x a week; and i have also gotten a better diet, and exercise regimine...and switched my vitamins :grin:...so if my hair gets a spurt of growth how will i know it was the MN instead of the other stuff?.

Good question!!!
 
To quote myself:

Just a morning thought-- I think the important part is to make MN just one part of your healthy hair regimen. I think your whole regimen needs to be on point and then when you add MN to it, it works really well. I'm still trying to iron out my regimen, but I've made great strides, thanks to everything I've learned on LHCF about what works and doesn't work for for my hair.

So basically I think that that all your good choices work together for hair growth. Has my hair ever grown this fast? No. So I have to attribute at least some of the growth to MN.

Funny story-- so I ordered the 6pk from Amazon, and gave one tube to my mother. She's been using it on her dog's back for a completely bald spot that was pink and raw looking. Since nothing the vet has suggested as worked, Mom decide to try the MN applying once daily to the spot. She said that in two weeks, the spot is becoming black (the dog's hair color) and she has the tiniest bit of hair coming in...inspiration?:lol:
 
Maaan my camera is acting stupid on me, so i have to resort to using my low quality ipod camera >.<

I just started using my MN today, but Ill provide starting pics later on when I take out my clip-ins :drunk:

And then in our quest for more growth, do we add more things to our regi/lifestyle?
Click to expand...
well for years i have tryed to eat healthy (sometimes falling short though), but the vitamins have increased since striving for hair growth...when i didn't care about hair i used to take like maybe 2 pills (a multi and a fish oil i think)...but now i take several pills and switch them consistantly...this hair board def. makes u wanna step up your game in some way or another!
 
Hopefully at some point we all will find our personal success combo for length and health :-)

SN: I need to work on my vitamin intake!
 
I applied twice yesterday. I'm dc-ing right now and I'll apply again either tonight or directly after dc. I think I'm noticing some growth but I don't want to get excited and have to face disappointment. My hair hardly ever retains length. My shedding is getting worse. When I get paid I'm going to by some shampoo and conditioner and add garlic powder. I'm just afraid I'll smell like garlic...
 
Okay ladies on a quest to find an MN mixture that it more fluffy and light..and not oily, does anyone have any suggestions? The mix i'm using now is MN, aussie moist, WGO, castor oil and that Organics kids growth stuff.... and i hate it.
 
2 out of 3 times for the week of 5/27-6/02 is the goal for the week.

I will take my pics tomorrow and post them for you ladies.... See you then.

Well i can't say for sure but i think you may be mixing it with too much stuff, maybe pick 2 things (for instance mixing it with the castor oil and okgs), because not only does that sound gunky it might make your MN more "watered down" and slow down the growth....also is your scalp sensitive to mineral oil?....because mine is and it was really messing with my scalp..HTH
