Question for MTG users who exercise

[angellazette]

I know many say the product works best when it is able to "marinate" on the scalp for a few days before rinsing, etc.. However, I like to cw after I work out, so I am wondering if this would affect the results? Anyone workout and rinse or cw after working out and still get good results with the MTG? What is your regimen?

Ive been using MTG since the uproar started in April. So from experience it worked much better for me when I was CO washing 2-3x week from April-Mid July (new growth was crazy). When I started washing bi-weekly(due to cornrows) end of July to present,it hasnt done as much for me.So I think co washing often did contribute to the success I previously had with MTG. I started back co washing yesterday.



HTH

OT: how do I post a progress pic in a thread or as my siggy?

So you cw/applied every other day? Did you apply the MTG immediately after CW while wet or did you let it dry first?

Anyone cw/apply everyday?


Do you have a progress photo online? If so, just replace the address I put in the brackets below with your url.

I CO WASHED ONE NIGHT, THEN USED MTG THE NEXT. I DIDNT CO WASH/MTG ON THE SAME NIGHT BECAUSE I DONT LIKE IT ON WET HAIR.

I go walking everyday and sweat a little bit. So, I try to CW everyday but it is definitely done every 2 days. I apply MTG straight or with a mixture of EO...it just depends on if I can handle the smell that day or not. I apply it to wet hair because when I apply it to dry hair, it feels frozen or like a hard plastic. I have seen results. I am posting some new photos tomorrow. My new growth is unbelievable and my hairline is coming in great...which is my first goal.
Hope this info helps!

AWESOME question! I have been wondering the same thing. Currently I have been working out 5-6 days a week but that was when I had natural hair so CW were done daily. Now since I have a relaxer and very short hair I have taken a break from working out until I can figure out a plan for my hair.

I work out like 3-4days a week, and CW every 3 days, but I dont CW after working out though.
I'm 2 weeks and 4days post relaxer and my new growth is amazing.

I use MTG and exercise. But i only apply it when i know i will not be in the gym the next day. that way it gets a chance to do its thing.

I work out often so I can get paid and I've been co-washing daily for over a year...I have been applying the MTG every other day despite it saying use only once or twice a week, so I figure washing often would lessen my chance of something bad happening from an "overdose". I believe my hair is still thriving though, will finish my comparision shots soon.

I apply 2-3 times a week. If I put MTG on the day before I CW I concentrate on the hair not the scalp. So I don't feel I am washing it out.

This is good question because I just got my MTG yesterday and I applied to my hair after working out. I kept it in overnight and today I plan to leave it in all day. BTW the smell is not as bad as I thought. You all had me AFRAID to open the the cap . Anyway I guess I will keep that regimen up, because I want to apply it whenever I can. From what I read in the instructions, it seems that it is intended to be left in for a week without washing. Although I wish I could go without working out that long. I don't think so, so I am doing an overnight, all day application and then oo wash at night, reapply that night, overnight until the following afternoon...
