Wow ladies, with this thread I think I'm going to have to go to my local dollar tree/CVS and pick some up...Seriously! :yep:
 
update: applied MN every night during the week. I will take shots after my wash tomorrow to compare to my avatar picture.
 
So after applying MN Twice a week for 1 week, I've come to see why we are mixing it. Although I moisturize and sealed well, my hair feels very dry to the touch in some places. I'm going to make a paste because I can't be bothered with oiliness in the summer months. I think I want to mix leave-in conditioner and a little oil....maybe some hair butter like QB Aethiopika Hydrate& twist butter. We'll see.
 
Applying my MN mix of mostly MN. Found my way to combat dryness! Deep conditioning 2x a week and cowashing daily followed by a moisturizing leave in (works for me since I have a twa). I am so glad I can overcome this dryness without having to go heavy on the oils with the MN.
 
I have a case of the itchies. That makes me a very happy woman. Like I said before, itchies for me means growth. Too bad I can apply tonight. I'm texlaxing next weekend and I stop the week before.
 
I dyed the two parts of my hair on monday and I am seeing about 1/4 of an inch. I have been applying my mix everyday.
 
Made a new MN batch with MT. I relaxed a week ago and so I was just using jbco and it caused some pimples to come along my hairline. So in my new MN batch I put in very little jbco this time. I also did not add in sulfur. I think the sulfur gave me increased dandruff around my hairline. I will try and correct that problem before adding sulfur again in my next batch.
 
So I just mixed my first batch of MN:

- entire tube of MN
- 2 Tbl spoons QB Honeybush Tea Soft Gel
- JBCO, Emu, Argan, coconut, peppermint oils
- DB Lemongrass Transitioning Creme

I may add just a pinch of sulfur if my NG stays moisturized through the week...applying my mix twice a week.

My mix was still a soft paste with no dripping oils. From the look of my hair and it's current length, if all goes well, I should be grazing APL by my next relaxer in August.
 
MJ checking in...I've applied my MN mix for the last few days Days...can't wait for my perm in a few weeks
 
Just had my next PS done last night. I'm hoping this one will last me a month while applying my mix! I will just have to suck it up if I get itchies. Pics below and its milky way COS Yaky 14" and 8" in color 99J oh and please excuse the double chin

Does anyone know what the UK equivalent to MN is? From what I have read I think it could be the answer to my flaky scalp.
 
This is the best my fro has ever looked, and I didn't even try for this. I know it's not as full as most people's but I have very fine and thin hair. I just did a fro bc I was too lazy to do anything else and I think the mn has helped my hair a lot.

ZebraPrintLover I see a difference, more so on the right side than left. Have you thought about increasing your applications for the new month or changing the ratio of your mix?

I also have a question, did the sengalese twists put added stress on your edges? I was thinking about getting them, but my edges are thin now.
 
Um pls forgive me if this has been answered b4 but: has anyone experienced skin peeling and if so, how do you combat/eradicate it?

4b Natural. I CBL I APL 2012 I WIG I

Na havent really thought about MN. I use gel daily on my edges to keep them sleek since I am 20 weeks post and I prefer to to use the MN on clean hair. I can only apply it like 3 times a week if I am bunning, but if I am under a hat I can apply daily.

I thought my ratio was pretty high already 1.59oz MN and 1oz oils.

No I wouldnt say any added stress but I did lose a few strings like right after getting my hair done and when I got them retouched 4-5 weeks later. I loved them but IDK if I will get them again or not....
I didnt go bald or anything and my edges have been sparse for a whole while already so I didnt notice a difference before or after the braids.
 
MJ checking in...yes it's 5:30 in the am, I fell asleep early and first thing I did when I woke up was grab my my mix lol... I'm Focused Man!!!(jay-z voice) =)...n e way I will be using MN until the 22 of this Month...that will be one month and 2 days of use...then I'll stop for 2weeks so I can relax on the 1st of July at 13 weeks post...hopefully I'm at least APL but I'd love to be past it.

HairPleezeGrow you protective style looks good! Very natural! BBritdenise you look so cute, your fro is nice and full and I'm a sucker for cute hair accessories...love yours!!! ZebraPrintLover honestly I can't say that I see much of a change either...maybe you should increase how often you apply your mix,when did you start using it? maddie611 if your skin is peeling I'd stop usng it, before I started using my I read everything I could on it and never read anything about peeling skin...maybe it's the man or what your mixing it with or maybe it's something else but before it gets worse id stop the MN and see if that helped and try to figure out what is causing the peeling...I know my hands peel right when the sun starts coming out consistently, but they've done that all my life and it only lasts a few days, not my feet tho...hope someone else can help

Your mix looks good. I like mixing things up! It's a great way of decreasing your stash.
