^^^ Phoenix14 -- I've been diagnosed with SB. If you haven't, let a dermatologist make sure it's actually SB. But I do think all of that would be overkill, and JBCO won't do anything for it. Sulfur is great for SB as well as evco. It's what I used and my SB in my scalp has been nonexistant since, and this is after years of prescription shampoos, creams and ointments.

Hi everyone! I have been lurking on this site for awhile and jumped on the MN bandwagon a week ago. i must say, I'm pretty impressed so far! I can barely comb thru my roots, lol! I believe what makes it work is the nitrate in the formula. I'm a nurse and we use nitrate patches on the chest, or pills for people with chest pain/angina. Nitrates are vasodilators ( makes the arteries dialte) which increases blood flow to the heart, so by applying to the scalp, we are increasing the blood flow to the hair follicles, which causes increased growth! Also, a side effect of nitrate usage is headache, which is why we give patients tylenol after the patches. HTH!

How that was informative!
I used MN for a month and a half and it gave me an inch! I usly only get 0.3 of an inch a month, thats a little under an inch every 3 months. Getting that much in half the time is exciting for me. The 4% works faster than the 2%. I usually use the monistat but its like 17 bucks a box. i bought from walmart for 11. i might try the target brand next

this has nothing to do with this at all, but Platinum i love your siggy lol. I was having such a bad day and it made me laugh! 
With MN, I have a tube, I've used it off and on but not consistently enough to get results. I probably will apply it 2x a week. Is this sufficient? Do I need to mix it or can I apply it straight on? I have the 2% right now, and I'm afraid of the headaches.

decided to bumpity bump this one.
I started MN today... can't hurt. Perhaps will help my ever annoying dandruff/dermatitis and eczema. I applied henna a couple days ago and it's helped a lot. Maybe the MN will aid me on my healthy scalp journey as well.
Updates anyone?

I've read that ppl wait a week after the relaxer before applying MN, as well as stopping it's use a week before a relaxer.

It is funny this got bumped because just last night I was searching for threads on scalp itching at the crown. I have been having a problem with that. Several ladies mentioned dr's told them to try nizoral. MN is like Nizoral. So I was thinking of trying it in just that area to help with this.
The hair at my crown is really healthy and thick but my scalp feels so sore and itchy sometimes and it grows like half as fast as the rest.
My only issue is that when Ive used it in the past, I got dryness on my NG. I guess I could mix it with oils.
Anyway, it is a thought for now.

Are you ladies using the MN straight or diluting it? I currently use a mixture of sulfur, coconut oil, costor oil and rosemary essential oil. Can I just add it to this mix? if so, how much? Half a tube?
thanks for your help Ladies!

@curlicarib: I am diluting mine. I'm using an old essential oil spray bottle (1oz size). I hear the MN is drying so is best to dilute it. My mixture is only about 1/3 oz of 2% MN, diluted with distilled water, peanut oil, Argan oil, apricot oil, EVOO. The mixture is pretty runny (so it can spray).
@HoneyDew: My crown is the worst and the hair that grows out of it is coarse and hard. At least yours comes out healthy. It makes me wonder if much of my issues with itching, burning, scabing, etc are due to a fungal infection more so than the eczema.
I hear mixing with oils is the way to go when applying. Maybe adding a Leave-in or other moisturizer to the hair after application would help too?
Wow. This thread is almost 10 years oldThat is so cool.
@DrC: It really is cool. Who knew folks were doing this soooo long?
@pinkness27: Others might have an answer. Since, I'm natural I have no idea.... Though if you read back some pages I think there's a lot of comments from the relaxed ladies...

I made a new MN batch tonight. It has MN, MT, and jbco; equal parts. I am hoping I don't have any shedding since MT is in my batch.

pinkness27 what is mt?
As an update- I have my hair henna'd and I definately see ng. Probably close to half an inch. Will have to check under a bright light later and stretch. Its more than my usual ~quarter inch. So that's double my usual. Most obvious at the crown which now stretches almost to the nape and its never done that before. Wow!

hey NaiyaAi!
I posted the day I started. Its up a couple posts. Probably the 4th or 5th of this month.
So that means double my growth for the month in only a couple weeks. And I have not been applying it everyday! Ive been using only the 2%.
And yes, def half inch. I just checked the ng. Ill keep using it through this month and next. That little growth put it at an awkward length! It's sticking straight out everywhere. Need to get past this quick!

I'll post in two weeks with an update, but this is my mixture: MN, CD Lisa's Hair Elixir (soybean, olive, sweet almond, peppermint, rosemary, sage, and patchouli oils), and cayenne pepper.pinkness27
