The ingredient list sounds fine but how much of the other oils, etc, will you be using. I use only 2 tubes of MN in an entire 24 oz mix. MN gives some ladies headaches when it is too concentrated. Make sure to check your tolerance of it. If you are getting headaches then simply dilute it with some more oil or moisturizer.

Welll,actually i used it like 3 days ago,and didnt feel any tingles like everyone was saying.......Soooo i added another tube!!! LOL!! And yess i feel the headaches as we speak!!
About 20% is hollywoods olive creme
30% MN
20% Sulfur
10% oils (coconut,evoo, & tea tree)
And the rest water...

I was jus adding as i went so I'd have a cream/watery consistency,so I didnt really measure. But its about 22 fl oz

Add some essential oil like rosemary, lavender or cedarwood to it for a tingling sensation. Add a little at a time until it is at a tolerable strength for your scalp. If you are pregnant, don't use any essential oils until you do a research on essential oils and pregnancy first. I know that it is safe to sparingly use lavender and tea tree essential oils after the first trimester.

I would take out the water and just use a creamy water-based moisturizing hair lotion instead. The sulfur is good but for added thickness, you may want to add a little sulfur 8 grease but it's not necessary. I like my mixture creamy. The oils will separate but vigorously shaking the bottle fixes that.

Well i just wanted to post an update with pictures. I started using MN on June 29th.

And took this picture today

I wish I took more pictures of the sides and the middle. Sorry I didn't but i do see more than normal growth. I plan to take these braids out Wednesday. I cant wait to see the growth! I will keep everyone posted.

Question can i mix just one tube with oils?

 

[Hot40]

Bumping for answer to my question.

Bumping for answer to my question.

I think you can. Everyone's mix is different so you should mix it however you are comfortable.

I added Capzasin-HP to my bottle. As you know, when I do my wash and sets, I put the growth aid on as I am rollersetting because it is no big deal how my hair looks since most of it is hidden under a phony bun all day any way.

Here's how the new Capzasin-HP mix went after I did my rollerset and got under the hair dryer.







:burning: :burning: :burning: :burning: :burning:

About 15-20 minutes into my dry cycle, the burning stopped. But good Lord that was hot!

Absolutley Hot40. I only use 2.5 tubes and a mixture of oils and moisturizer because I don't like making it too frequently. I make a 24 oz batch that lasts me a while.

I know I joined this, but I forgot to check the email where I was subscribed and forgot that I joined.

My hair is in kinky twists, so seeing the growth should be easy. I have to dilute a little because I get massive headaches and crazy itchies...but this stuff works like crazy!

I'll update in a month. Seems like mostly everyone is seeing progress, though...and that's good.

Nice thread!

Hi everyone, I just bought a tube of the MN 2% from Dollar General yesterday.

I was just wondering how everyone was specifically using it? Do you part your hair and rub some on each part or is there an easier way to go about that? Also, do the majority of you mix it or use it straight? I may wanna try it without dilution just to see if I experience any side effects first...

Hope someone can chime in and help me out =D

Some people, including myself, get disturbing headaches from using MN straight on the scalp. I mix mine with natural oils, sulfur or sulfur 8 grease,some type of daily hair moisturizer and a few drops of essential oils. I add all these ingredients to a color applicator bottle, shake to mix, and apply to my scalp every other night before bed.

Make sure to not lay it on too thick or you would end up with an oily pillow case. You really only need a little of it nightly, massage for 5-10 minutes, and voila, that's all there is to it. For exact measurements that I use, please see my fotki for the recipe.

Maybe I'll try it, If I ever decide to use something other than Mega-Tek.

I mix mine with different things depending on what I feel like. When I do it its about 50-50 with some type of oil.

I do make parts and rub it in with my fingers. I really dont want to much mineral oil on my hair so I TRY to keep it on the scalp. It can take some time but I'm not that exact with it.

I'm curious about this method, but i don't want to sound skeptical, but i don't notice too much grow (at leats with pictures i've seen) for me is like the natural lenght people can achieve in a month or so.

 

[Crissi]

How often/long for can you use it, because the MN equivalent in the UK says you can use it on your scalp for a month. Does that mean I should alternate it? Or is it safe to use daily for extended periods of time?

That's because too many ladies don't give it enough time to work effectively because we're too busy jumping on the next growth aid train. But it really does work on hair growth if you give it at least 6 months, you'll see a marked difference in yournormal growth rate and the rate of growth after using MN.

It is safe to use daily if you wish but I really think every other day application is quite enough.

Thanks, when I did use it I would use it every other day anyway one day MN the next Vatika oil

You're welcomed Crissi.

 

[outspokenwallflower]

So the 1st night I tried it mixed with some Argan Oil and the next night I tried it straight...when I did it straight, I didn't get any headaches or feel any other side effects that was mentioned here, so I may just try it straight for awhile or mix it with oil from time to time...I hope to see results in the near future! =D

 

[beans4reezy]

I was at the pharmacy filling a prescription yesterday and I said to myself, "okay, let me pick up a tube while I am here.." Of course I couldn't find any!

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

Chiming in as one who uses MN as a growth aid. I'm just mixing it with hair oil and conditioner...will be adding flowers of sulfur when it arrives this week.

Hey?? Where'd everybody go? I just read the entire thread. Don't leave a sista hanging. Bumping for updates. (or is there an official Challenge thread somewhere?)
