STEP IT UP ON THE GROWTH AIDS..PART 2

[sheba1]

I've been doing well, massaging my MN, MT, mahabringharaj oil mix into my scalp almost nightly while I'm in braids (no hair added). My braids look a hot mess right now! But I'm wearing my lace front on top so it's cool. Can't wait to see my hair straight in April! Hoping for thick lushishness. lol

I need to go to FD, to get me a new tube of MN to make some more of my mixture.

Hey Ladies. Hope yall are doing ok. If you are being lazy, just think about all the length and health you are missing out on

Anyway...I applied my OCT in between my cornrows last night. With the cornrows, I will be applying every other night.

 

[mistee11]

Well ladies, I'm back in a sew in -- I'm luvin it!!! I had to retire the wig for a minute. I'm still able to use my BT and I hope to use my MT tonight. I'll post pics of my new sew in to my fotki soon.

 

[LaidBak]

I applied BT yesterday after my DC. I am about to apply it again tonight. I had to chill out on the MT/OCT...that stuff was teraing my hair up.

 

[sheba1]

Hey Ladies, I'm getting some growth! I took out my braid last night to check the moisture level. While it was loose, I stretched it and there is definite growth since I posted my starter pics for the Ayurveda challenge a month ago. Haven't taken pics but I think I want to do a comparison three months after my pics posted in this thread. So... two months and six days to go! I'm so excited.

Still using my MT as a deep condish and I mix it with a moisturizing condish - let it dry in my hair and rinse in the morning...

Curious...what ratio of MT to condish do you use? You haven't had any issues with protein overload? I am so scared to put it on my hair (length) for any length of time.

I am curious about that too. I tried MT and it made my hair really hard even though I was only applying to my scalp. I am thinking of revisiting it when this challenge is finished. I would like to use it once a month as a protein condish, but with my natural hair that might be too much.

 

[**SaSSy**]

Any particular reason for that (beemine more than MT only once a week)? I have been using beemine for about 2 weeks and like it (can't tell if the new growth is because I am about 12 weeks post or because of the beemine - I'll have a better sense after my touch up this weekend). I purchased MT and will be adding that into the mix and planned to alternate between beemine and MT. I am looking for MEGA growth within the next 6 months before my wedding. Just curious as to why you are deciding to use them that way. TIA.

I was using MT starting in Nov for about 8 weeks straight. I got 2 inches with it, but tons of itching that makes me now want to use it full time anymore. Now I use it only once a week due to the itching. I really like the BM because it doesn't have any crazy side effects, and the bonus is it smells good too.

BTW: I use MT as a DC for protein so I apply it to both my scalp and ends and have no problems because I don't use any other protein products, PERIOD!

I had to slow down the MT from every nite to every other nite. I have micros and when I washed, I got more than an inch of slippage. I do get a little itchy but I dont mind, it reminds me that my hair is growing.

 

[Mandy4610]

I am slowing down a bit too. I want my cornrows to last a bit longer.

 

[Junebug D]

I am back on schedule with the MN. The crazy itching I was getting for a while has stopped, that's a plus.

I still need to go. I will be braiding my hair tomorrow and using something such as my MTG until I get more MN. I havent applied a growth aide in a week....

 

[miss Congeniality]

I fell of this week, but I'll do better next week.

 

[ackee walk]

The two of you and I are getting one of these

Now lets get back to growing

 

[jazzzmoods]

Count me in!! I will be using MT/OCT/BM and although I am eager and consistent with use right now, I will need support as time goes on!

Took a recent pic today.....Sorry, todays are un-styled hair!

Updated pics

 

[Mandy4610]

Updated pics

WOW, look at you grow! You have made some serious progress in the last two months. I love you hair cut and your hair looks healthy, very shiny and full.
Keep growing!

 

[winona]

I want in. I currently have my hair in kinky twist but they will come out in 2 wks. I will post pics then

Thanks again!!!!! I am very glad I have been taking progress pictures.....it has been 48 days (yes I went back and counted) and I was thinking it was not growing. Taking pics on a regular basis....monthly or so.....coupled with implementing good hair care and giving the growth aids a try seem to be working well!!!

GROW LADIES GROW!

I don't know if its too late but I like to join this challenge, I have MN that I bought, MSM, cayenne peper and megatek and I want to use them all by alternatinhg them. Although I am nit sure what ti di with my MSM.

My regimen so far is shampoo once a week
Deep condition once week
Moisturize with aloe vera juice (applied on scalp)
Seal with shea butter

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I have been alternating my Bee Mines and MT every other day and I have a gang of brand new baby hairs all over my head...that's the good news, the funny news is that most of them are gray! That's okay I ordered some Henna from hennaforhair.com and I will take care of that next weekend.

I have new hairs in my hairline and in my crown. This is so exciting. I don't know if it's the megaTek or the Bee Mines, but the new growth is appx 1/2 long and very soft. My texture at the roots is so much softer more relaxed than my ends.

I'm thinking of trying the Megatek all over my head as a part of my DC to see what happens. It seems to relax my natural 4a/b curls a bit...:scratchch

You are welcome to join us. We are doing this for three months, we are already 1 month in.

I'm still on point though need to redo my twists. I hope the fuzziness is due to growth and not due to the daily/every other day massages. 2 weeks in hot Kenya seem to have done my hair (and skin) a world of good. I really hope it's growing.......

 

[Jazzmommy]

Hi,
Just checking in... still in the game and applying MT 4x a week and about 1 hour on my wash day. I combine the MT with bhringraj oil. It's been a couple of weeks, so I don't know about growth yet... I think I'll measure in about a month.

 

[Mandy4610]

Applied my OCT last night. I am running low so I need to figure out which growth aid to use when OCT is done. Maybe I will finish this one and then take a break from the growth aids after this challenge is done.

 

[isawstars]

I just realized I forgot to put on MT last night. I'm starting to do this a lot now that school has started. I may have to start using it during the day but I just don't want to smell like a rosemary/peppermint candy cane (i love peppermint EO) *sigh*

 

[LaidBak]

I took a break from aids during the few days before and after my relaxer. Well, except for Wild Growth Oil, if that even counts. But I am back in the game tonight with my OCT/Almond/Emu oil mix.

 

[Kimiche]

I'm back to using BT. My hair doesn't like protein so MT didn't work out.
I should've stuck with BT because I did see a lot of progress. I apply BT sometimes every night or every other night.
