my hair and actually looked at the back before puttin it in my baggie....my hair has grown nearly an INCH AND A HALF!!!it WAS armpit length as u can see in my sig pics, but oh my days i'm estatic...this stuff (mnt) really does grow the hair, i just thought i'd confirm it from my own point of view!! i use amla as a pre - then rinse my hair with water for 10 mins, shampoo, wash out thorougly, then squeeze dry n add the mane n tail conditoner as a leave in. i sometimes add the conditoner to the scalp too, and i use keracare with jojoba as a moisterizor. i have so much frizz at the front, i mean the front of myhair never grows. i usually see re-growth after 2 months not one! ii WISHHHHH i had my fone connected 2 my comp, i took a pic with my fone anyhow which i will try and add ASAP!!
YOU GROW GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to check mine until the day before I go see my family for Thnxgvg....but can wait to see. B/t MNT/MTG and BBD Glass, I'm in tears!!!!!! I may never wear my hair dry again!!!!!!! But, I'm worried about one thing....after cw everyday, is my hair going to start to get too soft? A few times during the summer when I wear it wet ofter, it's hard to flat iron again. It's like it won't take heat.....
You've got me PUMPED, girlie!!!!

I was so excited to see your results Candy C!
That is amazing growth for 1 month!!! Another believer - I'm so glad!!! It's great that you've been using it consistently to see that it really does work. You've also confirmed for me that applying it to the scalp really does boost growth.
Keep on truckin' girlie!!! You'll be at your goal in no time!!!

Brownsugar,
I didn't notice that my hair felt weak after several days of co-washing, but maybe a few others will weigh in. I am no longer co-washing everyday because I don't want to deal with wet hair in the winter.

I purchased the MNT conditioner today and will be using it as a leave in. For those of you that use the MNT detangler, how does it compare to the Pantene detangler? TIA
Hey Girlie,
I love the detangler and I think it works great. I have not tried the Pantene one though, so I can't compare.
I just bought the strengthener over the weekend, and I'm going to start using it over the detangler because I think it does just as good a job of detangling while "strengthening." I think I may have tried this a long time ago, but now sure what I thought of it then. It has a great smell, too!

Thanks for starting this club!!!! I have been using MNT for 3 weeks now. I LOVE the conditioner. I condition with it (leave in about 10 minutes) and then deep condition with cholesteral, use the detangler and then the conditioner again for a leave-in with some WGO on my scalp and ends. My hair comes out very soft when dry. My only question is about the shampoo. Does anyone's hair NOT feel soft after shampooing? I previously used CON to shampoo and so I am use to that silky, slippy (not a word I know) feeling after washing the shampoo out. Is it the protein in the shampoo that is making my hair feel dry, hard, and stiff? (It feels like when I do a clarifying wash.) Is it suppose to feel that way? I am going to continue with the MNT because I love the results of all the other products, and will continue to use the shampoo, but I just want to make sure I am not hurting my hair by using too much protein with the feeling I get after shampooing. I know I rambled on lol, but I hope you guys understand what I am trying to say.

i hear about this "stripped" feeling people get with MNT but i must say i get a very silky feeling - maybe its a hair type thing?
maybe its ma method? i leave an oil in my hair overnight or all day, and then rinse with water for about 10-20 mins while i wash ma body. i then mix some shampoo wid water and put some on the front, back n sides of my scalp and massage lightly. i then let the water rinse over my hair for another 10-20 mins. mnt shampoo needs maximum rinsing as with any other shampoo. my hair is then nice and strong feeling once dried and then i add the conditioner and i'm good to go! i wait till my hair 90% dry and then section, moisturise and comb..hardly ANY hair in the comb. have a try with the oil anyway, thats always helped me in the past!

I notice that in the original shampoo formula has the SLS or SLES as the second ingredient after water and I believe that is reasoning for the drying or feeling stripped. I have tried the new version by MNT which is the deep moisturizing shampoo and it also has the SLS or SlES in it, but it leaves my hair feeling silky and soft after I use it, it is very similiar to CON shampoo.

I had the pantene thinking I was buying infusium leave in and I must say that the MTN detangler is so much better for my hair. The pantene made my hair stiff and crunchy and it did not help with detanlging, I even added olive oil and still no sucess so I stopped using it...Now with the MTN detangler is like a dream and my jilbere comb just glides thru.

Co wash is a method of rinsing your hair out and using conditioners instead of shampoo. And BC is the BIIIIIIIIIIIG Chop!!! A major hair cut..if you check out the top of the pages, there's a fourum entitled LHCF Abbreviations....should shed some light...Zeal said:

I'm still going strong with my MNT Deep Moisturizing Con. I mixed mine with EVOO and use it as a leave-in for sleek pin-up styles. I also use mine as a creamy leave-in for rollersets. It has made me turn my back on Humectress. My hair loves this stuff.

Southerngirl,
I don't expect a free pass. Here are my reasons for membership:eyebrows2
I have read ALL 57 pages of this thread today
I went out today to specifically purchase my supplies: Orig shampoo/conditioner, and detangler
I promise to post any sales of these products and use them faithfully per the instructions on your fotki page...as a matter of fact, I used those instructions this evening
I've braided my hair up for the night to airdry and will post tomorrow about the results.
My only modification is that I'll also be spraying a mix of MTG, Surge, and peppermint oil on the back of my scalp when hair is wet.
I am really sick of being stuck at shoulder length. I shed horribly and after my poo/condition tonite, I saw fewer hairs lost. I only want 6-8 more inches and I belive that MNT can help me attain them.

okay so i have spent half the day reading all 57 pages of this thread and being a new pj that wants to get maximum growth i must say that i will be purchasing the conditioner. i want to know if this regimen is okay and can anybody help me out. i don't cw and i wash wkly.
Wash wkly on Friday:
Redken hair cleansing cream
Kenra MS
Deep condition w/Kenra MC and silicon mix
Porosity control
Biolage leave-in
I guess this is where I would add Mane n Tail con
MTG to scalp
WGO to ends
MTG-mon., wed., fri.
Surge mixed w/EVOO-tue., thur., sat., sun.
Does this regimen sound like too much protein? Would I still need to use Nexxus Keraphix as a protein treatment? When doing heavy protein every 6-8wks do you still use the con. as a leave-in? Will using these other products lessen the effects of the con.? Sorry so many questions, I just want to get the maximum results from the product! TIA for your help!

Wow Nicki6,

I am THRILLED to have you as part of the MNT club!!!! The fact that you read all those pages is impressive enough!
Be sure to let me know how it works for you. Don't give up on it if it doesn't work perfect the first time. You'll see results over time if you stick with it. Feel free to ask if you have questions. There are some great usage ideas from many ladies in the club.
Good luck girlie!!!!!

Hey Devin
Your regimen sounds OK - not too much protein, but it seems like a lot of products. If they all have given you great results, then go for it!!! Where you are inserting the MNT as a leave-in looks good. Not sure how it will react with the Biolage, but it can't hurt.
Try it out, and lemme know how it works. Since you are only washing once per week, the product usage might be the right amount.
Good luck Chica, and welcome

thank you southerngirl!
i do plan on tapering off my product usage to MNT once I use my other products and rotating bi-wkly with a moisturizing shampoo and cond. to make sure that i don't have a negative reaction to the protein, then eventually just using MNT once I make sure my hair can tolerate it. I want my regimen to be a simple as possible and I am sure my bank account would like that too! Also do you rinse out the shampoo, and when you dc and do a heavy protein treatment on your hair do you still use MNT con. as a leave-in? Could you please help me simplify my regimen, i do not want to spend a ton of money on products( i do use Surge and MTG)?Thanks again!(sorry if I am being bothersome
erplexed ).

Ok. I also went out and got the MNT strenghter and MNT olive oil creme for moisturizing and love them both...After washing my hair, I spray the detangler, part in sections like SG regimen discribes, then apply the MNT conditioner comb thru, then apply my the MNT olive oil creme concentrating on the ends and then spray strengthener throughout and seal with jojoba or sweet almond oil and then twist hair into a bun, wrap with satin scarf and in the morning my is still damp, but not frizzy and before I comb it I apply NTM leave in if it feels a little hard/stiff and back in a pony tail it goes.
