xu93texas what is jbco? NikkiQ since I'm a sahm I keep my hair in 4 bantu(sp?) knots, moisturize my NG in the am, and in the evening take one at a time down, make a few parts and rub it into my scalp and then redo to knots...when I'm abou to go out I do a messy bun with a headband...so boring Loverain good idea and nice color, that gives you an accurate way to judge if the man is working and how well shortdub78 maybe you could cut back the amount of times you apply a week

MJ checking in...about to apply my MN mix, I'm almost don't with this batch...next Batch I'm going to mix it with some doo grow and sulfer8 grease, while I don't like the gunky feeling of the grease on my scalp I hated having the mn mixed with oils, got everywhere, running down my neck and forehead:nono:... I'm also going to prepoo overnight tonight and wash in the am after I take my mini to daycare

Jbco - Jamaican black castor oil
 
Hey ladies, hope all is well. This am I notice a bald spot over my ear (probably due to heat and tension overload) and I'm hoping MN will help it grow back fast. I'm applying the MN and Jbco directly on the spot with a qtip in addition to my regular MN massage. When we have our July 1 length check, I will take a pic of that as well. Be encouraged ladies!

shortdub78 can u incorporate the MN to your normal routine so its not somethin extra to do?

Progress pics. I don't think I got much growth but I am a slow grower. I am going to switch up my mix and add the sulfur8 grease that I used before instead of the oils and sulfur powder. I can't stand the oily hair. I think I can apply to my scalp easier this way.

I don't know why my pics are always so small!!!!:perplexed
what am I doing wrong!!

This is great growth. Keep it up :-)
 
I also wanted to mention I got a trim yesterday. I hadnt had one since the end of February so it was time. I try to trim every 3 months with monthly dustings in between. I will post a new length check once the curls fall...I still think I can get to APL by June 30...

i was trying that with the M&S but i sometimes i don't m&s every day anymore. but i will try to find something that works.
 
LightEyedMami, thanks so much. I hope it continues to grow at this good pace. If it doesn't, I'm not going to stress about it you know? I'm grateful for whatever the Lord, my MN mixture and my reggie will bless me with. :yep:

Hi ladies! I'm happy for all of you with such great growth :spinning:

Here are my length pics: the first in the cornrows are from when I first started the challenge but the last two I took this week. My edges are coming in a bit but it's better than nothing.

I'm really bummed about my breakage though :nono: It's so bad I actually had a nightmare last night about whole INCHES of my hair breaking off in my hand (in my dream my hair was much longer though, thus allowing me to lose inches when I actually only have about 3 on my head now lol). Today I actually saw parts breaking off that were about an inch long. Even though my hair is growing a lot thanks to MN, it seems like my hair is even shorter now because of all the breakage! I can't figure it out cuz first I thought it was the oil, then I thought it might've been because I hennaed, now I'm wondering if maybe it just isn't the MN itself??? I'm going to try the brand name MN (without the mineral oil) to see if that helps. I can't think of anything else that's changed and the breakage is getting worse and worse :cry2::wallbash::wallbash::cry2:
Edit: actually I just compared my pics and it doesn't seem like my edges have even grown...I took the pics down cuz it's really bumming me out when I check this page. I'm going to take a break from MN for a while to see if the breaking stops:nono:

sheanu, I'm sorry about your progress. But don't get discouraged. Scale back on everything you are doing and start over SIMPLE. Try products specifically for dry and damaged hair; shampoo, deep conditioner, a leave-in conditioner and a good protein conditioner. The Alphogee line ROCKS for dry and damaged hair. About 9 or 10 years ago, I dyed my hair jet black, wanted to lighten it a few months later so I applied a hair bleach. My hair got really light in the roots but my hair shaft hardly lightened at all. So, I then applied a permanent brown-ish color to my hair so that my roots wouldn't stand out. I followed it with a deep conditioned which I left on most of that day and wet set my hair. I went to work the next day and nobody noticed that I had changed my hair color. I was like damn, all this work and nobody noticed. Well, a few days later, my hair started breaking off like CRAZY! I was scared like nobody's business. I was on the verge of losing my hair...that's how bad it was breaking off! I researched on line how to repair damaged hair and discovered Aphogee. I went and brought the ENTIRE Aphogee line and used it and only it for the next several months. I saved my hair by using that line. Do wet sets or air dry your hair and use a good, daily moisturizer and/or oil. Once you see your hair coming back to life THEN add another product. Wait and see how your hair reacts to the change and then move on. Hang in there girl. You hair will improve PLUS you got all of these lovely ladies to support you AND YOUR HAIR!!!!!

For the ladies that don't have their hair braided or twisted, how are you applying your MN?

I wear my hair straight about 95% of the time. I part my hair, apply my mixture and massage my scalp for a few minutes.
 
Spent most of last night arguing and trying to get away from drama, so I missed last night's MN application. But I did put some on my edges and nape before I left work this morning. Gotta go by some more tonight as well.
 
Applied every day this week, trying to bun 24/7. Co washed today and applied my mn. Happening to see 1 in of growth on the 20th which will be a month since starting. Yay!
 
Veeda thanks for the encouragement! I've been upping my protein a bit. I did the aphogee keratin 2 minute this weekend and yesterday applied that olive oil repair conditioner. My hair was absorbing it as I put it on! It felt much better after the olive oil treatment and it has really cut down on the breakage.
 
I applied MN directly and sprayed my NG with S-Curl Activator. I'm only applying it twice a week because I only redo my single braid once.

Is it necessary to apply MN daily to get significant growth??
 
Going to apply my MN mix in a few and try to massage it, my daughter gave me her germs and now ive got strep throat, uggh
 
im late but im at growth standstill and have used mn before. 30 days should be enough to see some results

What is your current length? umm a mixture of sl and cl
How long have you used in MN? day one starts today
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? mixing it with doo gro' grease castor, coconut, and jojoba oil while baggying
What frequency will you apply it? once a day.
Any other growth aids that you are using? hair finity, healthy dieting and h20
Anything else you care to add: ive used this method of mn in the past a received great results. ive filled in my edges that were destroyed from braids.
