Is there anyone applying their mixture daily but only washing once a week?

I do, i wash only once a week (i might do a rinse once a week in between if my scalp feels built up or hot) but otherwise thats it, and besides for the occasional lazy day, i apply MN daily.
 
Tonight im having the weirdest feeling!!....as you guys know i applied earlier, well i wanted a bit of extra moisture so i baggied, and within a hour i felt the weirdest tingle EVER (im still feeling it!)...It feels like a baby creature is crawling on my scalp , and it tingles like CRAZY!...i hope that is a good sign, because it is really creepy feeling!:spinning:

Interesting...I can't wait to see responses to this. Is anyone else baggying after MN application and getting extra tingles?
 
I baggy twice a week on the nights before I wash/DC. I apply MN mixture, prepoo oils, put on shower cap and a scarf. I've felt that creepy crawly sensation, but haven't given any thought to it. :ohwell:
 
I think the heat here is effecting my mix...and not in a good weigh. Its making my mix a little loose so I'm worried that it may not be working anymore. Guess I'll have to put it in the fridge for a bit everyday when I make my second batch just to make sure the hest doesnt mess with it too much.

Oops!. I wonder if anyone else experienced shedding when they first started. @serenity34 did you use the brand name creme or a generic brand? Did you apply straight or did you mix it up? How long did you apply before you noticed the thinning.

I do not mean to sound like the inquisitor, I just feel your answers could maybe shed (no pun intended) more light on the situation and others could learn from it.

I hope you get the shedding under control soon.

@mamaore, my miconazole was a prescription and ordered by the the pharmacy. Since i am natural and wear twistouts i didnt not really notice how thin it was getting till i had it flat ironed. I noticed when i was washing it was shedding some.I went to one stylest who twisted my hair up who told me it was shedding but i was like its probably normal. It wasn't. I know some shedding is normal but this was more then normal and i really didnt notice it to what level until it was flat ironed straight. It is very noticable. I posted previously what oils it was mixed with. I never applied it straight.

I've also been shedding a lot of hair. I think I have to stop using mn before it gets worse, but I did notice faster growth than usual

I am sorry to hear this. Do you take supplement? Garlic pills?
Can you do anything to strengthen your hair?

I haven't done anything but it's coming out from the roots. It isn't breakage, entire strands are falling

Omg I just realized how much my hair is falling out. Everytime I touch it strands come out into my hands

I hate to ask this cause it's not everyone's desire but could you be pregnant? Babies do crazy things to our bodies sometimes...I'm not sayin, just sayin...

Applying my MN mix of mostly MN tonight. I am definitely going to start my garlic pills again and do my black tea rinse twice a week now to try to prevent shedding and thinning
 
i need to look into black tea rinses.

i applied my MN mix. My scalp itched afterwards. Actually it was itching before too.

I attributed the shedding to post partum but I didn't start shedding until the week I started using MN and now I see other people are shedding so I'm starting to think it's the MN. I hope it's not the MN though. And I doubt that im pregnant again. Lol. I sure hope not!

Maybe take a week or so break and see if the shedding stops,
 
One more thing ladies-- when this challenge ends in July, I was thinking to start another in September and taking a MN break for a month since Ive been using in Consistently since March. Of course, you could continue thru the month but I especially want to see how my monthly growth is without since my regimen has improved so much over the last few months. What do you all think?
 
BBritdenise i was shedding also. I stopped using it on monday and probably will not continue to use it. I'm not sure. I'm getting my hair done at the salon tomorrow and if it looks thinner than normal I def will not be using.

I going to take a break and see what happens and I'll probably look into that garlic mask that jprayze uses. Well see. Goodluck to u
 
I applied the last of my MN mix yesterday. I'm done for now until I can cross the border to find a target or family dollar store.
I have to think of an alternative growth aid.
