I am SO sticking with this... It had been a month since i'd pressed my hair and i've been using my cayenne pepper/Olive oil mix (1 month) and Neo AF (2 weeks) and I have never gotten raves about how gorgeous my hair looked until yesterday when the fam came over for mother's day.. Every one was playing in it, and saying how healthy it looked. One aunt said it almost looked fake... ofcourse i ignored the comment, i'll take it as a compliment.. Its about an inch or more longer, and I am sooooo happy Thanks ladies

Wow!
With all of these posts, shouldn't anyone have tons of growth by now...swinging hair from side to side?

It has been about a week since my relaxer and my roots are a little nappy. This happens even without the MN so the jury is still out. Right now I am using both MN and MTG.

Most people just started using it over the last couple of months so I doubt anyone has long term results to show. A few inches at the most.

It's only been 3 weeks for me but I did notice that my hair is a little thicker but I'm 4 weeks post relaxer so I'll give it until 5/21 before I post result (that would make it a full month, I started on 4/23). I also increased my Nioxin pills to 2 a day on 4/23, I've been taking 1 a day for 3 months now; so I don't know which is the culprit for thicker hair.

Well i have been using M.N. for about a week and some days since my perm, and I can tell you i feel the new growth!! Especially in the back of my head (which tends to grow the fastest anyway). The front (which grows the slowest) is even growing!! And my hair never really shows sign of growth after 1 week of perming!!! I'm definitely sticking with this!!

 

[TwistNMx]

Just playing devils advocate here for a moment...
Is it possible from these stories I'm hearing about quick new growth that this stuff could be neutralizing the relaxer?

 

[LaNecia]

****Pitch forking the advocate**** ETA: those are LOVE taps!!

Neutralizing? Probably not.

Causing reversion? Maybe, though probably not. I've been using it this week after my retouch this past Sunday and my freshly permed hair looks just that way, freshly permed. Not a lick of new growth (or reversion hair) in sight!

Nope, I'm natural and from the looks of things I'm averaging just slightly over 1 inch per month (my normal growth rate is 1/2 to 1 inch)

Well, I guess I just have to wait and see. Maybe I'm watching too closely?
BTW, nice pictures.

Your hair shot in the avatar looks very nice. I just can't seem to get the hang of twisting...can you believe it?

Well I am sitting here 3 and 1/2 weeks post relaxer and it feels like I need another one already...

No. I have been putting NeoAf on a spot of hair that is much shorter than the rest of my hair. It was hard to put a Caruso roller on. After 3 weeks, I can tell that it has grown because of how easier it is to get the curler on.

 

[Jas123]

I'm pretty sure it's not reversion, because once your hair has been chemicall altered nothing can change that..hence people have to "grow out or cut off" their relaxed hair when they want to go natural...
I myself have definitely experienced new growth from using NeoAF and I was skeptical at 1st. When I gave myself a relaxer there was a noticeable difference...even my mom noticed and has jumped on the bandwagon. I'm not the most computer saavy person so it's taking me longer to post my pics, but hopefully soon so as to post my progress

It was brought to my attention that my original post had a negative undertone. I just wanted to clarify that I in no way meant anything negative by the 'pitch forking' comment.
So for any and all that took exception to my post, I offer my apologies, no negativity was intended.

Well that's good! My apology box is almost empty for today!

I'm 4 weeks into using MN and no new growth. I'm natural, but I have been measuring weekly.

I started off with Neo AF, when that ran out I used Family Dollar's MN because it was more economical. Well I guess you do get what you pay for. I'll switch back to Neo or Monistat because I was expecting an inch by now especially in my 3 inch breakage area. I also was using MTG and Surge 14 on & off when I noticed no growth to accelerate the process.

I'm encouraged by the great results of the ladies out there!

Really? I use the Family Dollar brand and its been working great for me. I also used the Neo AF, the only difference I saw was that the Neo AF was thicker than the Family Dollar brand. I have had about 1 1/2 inches of ng in the past 3 weeks, making it a total of 2 1/2 inches since my relaxer. I have been slacking on the MN these last couple of days tho (Wed & Thurs). I am going to start back today and make an update in another two weeks.

Ok I give... I'm going to try this as soon as my products get here. lol dang pj'ism.

 

[trinigul]

I only use for two days a week for no other reason than laziness...and it's still working. My hair is growing like a big weed. Everyday someone comments on how quickly my hair is growing, asks the question "what do you put in it?" and then I gotta use the standard lie "my hair grows quickly" (bwhahhahhah!!!....u have any other suggestions?)

Also, my hair is growing in very very soft and wavy. I have a texturizer (mild perm left in for no more than 8 minutes) and I was just discussing this with my mother-in-law last night. She puts the perm in for me. How's she gonna tell the diff between my new growth and permed hair?

any more updates?

I noticed some of you women are mixing with cayaenne pepper and other stuff. Pray tell what is the mix....how much? and what are you mixing with?

I just mixed an entire tube of NeoAF (the 33% free sized one) in with a container on the ORS fertilizing balm.

I have recently realized that the NeoAF alone kind of drying so I had about a 90% full container of the fertilizing balm that I never used.

The NeoAF is effective in extending the growth period, but it just seems to be drying to my new growth.

I agree..it does seem somewhat drying and in conjunction with having all the new growth..that isn't cool. I make sure I am applying my La India creme with it to try and combat some of the dryness.

I noticed that too early on so I also mixed mine with the La India Creme. I thouht maybe it was just my new growth that was dry so I've tried using the Neosporin AF straight again, it's still drying my hair so I've resorted back to my mixture.
