KiWiStyle,
I'm all over this forum! :lol: I really need to stop joining all these challenges:grin: Yeah, I've been doing this for about 2 weeks. I'm hoping for an inch per month. You know I want 2+ inches by the time we relax in August. Then I'll be moving over to the APL challenge with you.

What are you planning on mixing your MN with?

Xu93texas,

You will be APL in August!? I won't be there until our last relaxer in December. If I get my full 2" like my last stretch, I will be pretty darn excited because I'm a little over 2" away from APL, II measured on hair that had not been flat ironed. Full APL by December for sure.

I don't know what I'll mix it with. I'll have to read thru this thread to see what others are mixing with it. I'm thinking something moisturizing like Apricot oil, IDK.

No, I won't be APL in August. I said I'll be moving over to the APL challenge in August once I claim SL. I want 2+ inches before I claim SL and move on to my next hair goal.
 
I'll be taking my pics tomorrow or Sunday. It'll be just shy of 30 days. I haven't really been able to tell a difference so far though
 
Took down my Senegalese twists today. Saddened by how hard/dry my hair is. I sprayed the twists itself twice a day with qp elasta leave in, guess that wasn't enough. Idk maybe MN and MT is too much for one spray (sprayed this on scalp). I'm hoping I don't have a ton of breakage. Will post a pic by Mon.
 
BBritdenise and jprayze thanks, hopefully I'll pass APL this month! Mznelly you are filling in very nicely! Great job! If you keep with the MN I see you hitting APL by the end of the summer! ManiiSweetheart I'm glad you posted your pics, we started my on the same day and I was questioning if it was working, obviously it is because you got some noticeable growth as so did i, I was comparing myself with ladies who started at the beginning of the month :nono:...how long do you plan on using it for? LightEyedMami I can't wait to see you length after a few weeks, you should definitely be BSL, I'm so jealous =) xu93texas you hair looks so full and healthy! Omg I'd love to have your fullness! It goes right down to your ends! sheanu I'm sorry about your breakage, hopefully you get it under control soon! I'm also switching to regular Monistat 7... My ng was crazy dry, hopefully it helps

MJ checking in... I applied my MN mix,but I also mixed some Monistat into my mix, I'll be using only Monistat, doo grow and sulfer8 in my next mix, pre pooing hair my ng super straight and soft but after a day or 2 of using MN my ng is si dry and hard to manage, hopefully top using the name brand version will help with the dryness

I've decided my previous mix od mn was way to diluted.. From now on I will be applying generic MN directly to my scalp followed up by my sulfure mix which is 8 oz of oil (4 oz of jbco extra dark, 1oz of jojoba oil and 3 oz of grape seed oil) and one teaspoon of sublime sulfur hopefully the addition of the sulfur mix will increase my growth.

I am extremely pleased with my progressive. I've always had thick hair but I think all those Dominican Blown out and excessive use of heat with using a protectant has taken a toll on my thickness :( one side of my head is shorter than the other so I baby that side like crazy lol we shall see what this month brings for me with this revision.

Oh man I hope not! I wanna keep them in until after we move and get settled in lol

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom
 
I was suppose to buy another tube of MN today but... Walmart decided to run out of everything with MN in it today. But I still got the MTG from the tracker store and I mixed it with aloe Vera gel and Aussie moist... I'll try dollar general after I make dinner.
 
Okay so... I think I'll just add the MN directly then my sulfur mix of MTG, Aussie moist, and aloe Vera gel and a tea spoon of tea tree oil and orange oil .... Still smells like hickory smoked oranges ... -___-

xu93texas,
I was obviously very tired when I typed that last post. It all makes sense to me now, lol. I had just spent the last 4 hours washing, DC'ing and double strand twisting my DD's hair. I then came here and then passed out! Anyway, I can't wait to see you in the APL challenge in a few months!!
 
Strange day today, forgot to take my meds until late, no vits, and tied my scarf on my head without my night app of MN. Too tired to get up. So I will have to just do it on the am.
 
ManiiSweetheart that sounds like a good plan, keep us updated on your progress cuz I'll definitely be looking out for you NikkiQ that's great growth! You'll be APL in no time!

MJ checking in, just applied my MN mix, my scalp feels all tingly and cool! I'll be applying everyday now instead of every other day...still hoping to make APL this month and with the help of mn and my vits BSL by my 25th b-day in September... I wonder if I'm wanting to much? I have a long back so it'd be like 3-4 inches in 3 months

Just took some pics of my edges but I wanna also do it on freshly washed hair because thats how my hair was on the beginning photo. It is now in a gelled up bun because I attended a BDay party tonight and for church on the morning, so I will be back tomorrow after I wash.
 
jprayze no I didn't, I should have. When I got to the shop the hairdresser also suggested I do that 3-4 days before coming in for a perm.

Turns out my hair wasn't as dry as i thought, but my scalp is very dry. She also said it's unlikely my hairline will grow back bc it's black (scarring) along my hairline which suggests permanent damage (had bad hair braiding experience in 2010). I'm still going to apply my MN mix to it though. I'm determined to get a normal hairline back. I remember reading something about "follicle awakening" oil on here awhile back. I'll need to search the forum for the name and I'll that oil to my MN mix.

My picture will come tomorrow. I promise. Too tired to take one now.

Mjon912 I think its doable! I'm with u girl! Let's try for BSL by September. My original goal date was December. I just need to make sure I take my vits too.
 
Applied my first mix last night that has about 25% MN in it. I am starting to notice my edges filling in more and getting thicker :yep:. My edges weren't shot, just thinner and grew slower. I can't wait to see my end of month results now.
