thank you southerngirl!:D 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:perplexed ).

No worries Sweetie!!

Generally, I shampoo, rinse, then add the conditioner as a leave-in. I haven't been consistent with protein treatments like I used to be (Aphogee) because I haven't felt I've really needed it. Every blue moon I'll do it though. I also have not been deep conditioning like I used to. So maybe I'll do it once or twice a month with LeKair Cholesterol Cond. I've just gotten lazy and I like using as few products as possible.

I also co-washed for most of the summer, but I was getting so much new growth that I was relaxing way to soon.

I think your initial plan is good, because it'll give you a chance to gradually phase your way into the MNT. After a few weeks of that regimen, you might simplify it by using only the MNT as a leave-in, a shampoo of your choice, then some type of oil for your scalp and/or hair. Of course, always do your weekly deep condition!!! I'm a slacker, but I know it's a good way to help balance the protein :)

I'll admit, I am no good at making regimens for others, but I can tell you what I've tried and has worked for me anytime!!

HTH,

SG

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.

Thanks girlie!

I dont deep condition as much now either @ Southern Girl...MNt has taken OVERRR.

My hair has never been in such good contion so near to my re-touch, its alll down to mnt .

deep conditoning is like a treat now, maybe every 2 weeks with Humecto. Its all good though, my hair responds more to deep conditioning bi-weekly now. when my hair was in a not-so-good state then it worked wonders, but now my hair is healthy its got an attitude problem!
 
SALE ALERT...SALE ALERT ..SALE ALERT

Ladies,
Walgreens is selling the original 32 oz shampoo and conditioner for buy 1/get 1 free. That's $7 for 2 big bottles:yay: :yay: :yay:

I have really been impressed with how quickly this product has reduced my shedding. I rinsed my hair in the shower and only lost a few hairs. This is a HUGHE improvement for me. I have been washing once weekly. I leave the conditioner in and braid my hair up while still wet.

That is so awesome Girly :clap:

I just LOVE hearing stories like that, and it's nice to know that it's working for others!!! Your hair looks great! I'm sure you can appreciate the thickness of it now (unless it's always been that way). I used to feel bad about not deep conditioning as much, but I never really feel like I need it. I think I'll just stop kidding myself to think that I can ever go back to doing it weekly. I'll try your bi-weekly method and see if that's more doable :)

Keep up the good work, and keep us updated on your progress!!

I've been using mane and tail moisturizing conditioner but decided to buy the original conditioner this weekend. First of all, it seems to do wonders on my daughter's thick hair. I used it on her dry hair today (small amounts) and the comb ran thru her hair like it was nobody's business!!!! Big step for me and her hair!! I like this conditioner!! I'm also going to buy the shampoo. I already own the detangler...... Can't wait to see what it does for my hair.
 
You guys have me really thinking about using MNT. I've been using Motions products for about a year. My hair seems pretty healthy, but I would love to see some more growth. I'm new here and need to come up with a regimen. Right now, although my hair looks healthy I am seeing a lot of hairs in my comb. And I have quite a few very short hairs on the top of my head that stick up. What do you guys think? Would MNT be a good line for me?
 
Wantlonghairagain,
I am far from an expert, but I've been using the conditioner as a leavein for the past 2 weeks and my shedding has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased:D My hair is 4a/b and thick. I'm 7 weeks post relaxer and its helped make my hair quite manageable. The large bottle (32oz) its 2 for 1 (6.99) at Walgreen's. Its the best money, as of late, that I've spent on my hair:D

A wee bit offtopic.....ladies, if you don't have one, get a Jilbere shower comb. I bought one at Sally's Bty Supply for 1.49 and its a Godsend:up: :up:

Wow thought your username was mine
 
Hey

i used an adore rinse in Burgundy brown, and i wasn't too pleased with the "locked cuticle" effect.

i've read that adore has protein, but i used the new version and i couldn't really see any protiens or derivitives (cant spell lol) of protein.

so i ran back to my MNT 2day, but do u think it could be a problem using my mnt so soon after applying a rinse (i put the rinse on last night - then washed today)??

please help. i dont see any more breakage then usual, but what about next week or the week after?!

helppp

Hey Girly,

I'm not 100% sure I understand the problem you're having b/c I don't know what a "locked cuticle" means - unless you mean locked like dreads? Please forgive me if I'm way off base but I wasn't sure.

If you've gotten some tangling, it might be too much protein, but when I rinsed my hair with that black Clairol rinse several months ago, I used my MNT cond daily w/no ill effects. As a matter of fact, I used all kinds of stuff in conjunction w/my MNT because it came out way too dark and I tried to get the rinse out as much as possible.

How's it doing now? Have you washed again?

hey i've washed n airdryed its actually quite good! very shiney and mositurized
 
I've tried the MNT depp condioner today, and woooowwww, my hair feels lovely and soft, i'm goin to use the original for a leave in aswell, best of both eh!
 
I'm not sure if it's too late to join the club. I purchased the Original Conditioner last week (buy one get one free at Walgreen's) and used it for the first time on Sunday morning before going to church. I used it as a deep conditioner mixed with the ORS Replenishing pak. After rinsing I used my Keracare Humecto for a little more moisture and then Elucence as a leave in. My hair turned out sooooo nice and I got a lot of compliments from people at church. I really think it was the MNT, my hair was shiny, bouncy, and felt so strong and looked very healthy. Is this possible after one use?!?!?!:lol:

I CO washed with it Wednesday night, I also mixed it with distilled water and another moisturizing conditioner to use as a leave in (because of fear that it may make my hair hard). Next time I'm going to try SG's method that I read in another post about adding oil to it (but also add a little distilled water) when using as a leave in. I think this product is great for my fine strands!

Thank you so much SG and all the other ladies here for suggestions and reviews!
 
Didn't read all the post, but decided to share w/all you MNT users the results my daughter received from using the MNT conditioner as a DC last night, her hair came out mega soft and super moisturized. I even dilluted the poo w/water and I like the pooing results better while diluted. Full strength was a little hard to wash out, so since it was half full awhile back I just added some H2o and it actually leaves her hair softer. :D

thats the best thing 2 do i've found. when they use it on horses they squeeze some in a bucket of warm water. 1 part shampoo, 3 parts water (for example).


my hair texture has completely changed since using MNT, its like my natural hair is back with a relaxed feel. i airdried and i have tight spirals all over, its very very cute! my mum said my texture has changed and now she accuses me of having "indian hair" thats why she MUST use heat on her "afro" hair every day...pssshhhh
 
Mane n' Tail sale spotted at Sally's.

Buy one get one free (shampoo and conditioner, mix or match) for 3.99, 12oz.

I just bought today, can't wait to use!!!​
 
I just got the large conditioner from Sally's for $3.99. I love it!!! I wanna be part of the club! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!! But seriously, I really love this stuff. I haven't tried the shampoo yet...trying to stop this PJ'ism, but I do plan to buy some before the week is up.
 
Well that is good to know, I am a Nexxus lover for my head of hair, but if they change the formula I may have to start using MNT on myself dilluted anyway, that means more product and less money to spend and it's already inexpensive, hmmmmm:D Plus my daughters hair is mega soft and shiny, I don't even have to moisturize her hair everyday I normally just oil her scalp w/WGO every 3 days and moisturize her braids lightly 1 a wk and her hair is thriving off the MNT especially in the health area.
