The Official Mane 'N Tail Users Club

[hot_pepper96]

So guess what I finally tried the Mane N Tail Texturizing Conditioner as a leave in this past weekend for the first time in maybe 3 years. My deep condition had left my hair a little too soft and I realized I needed a little protein. The conditioner instantly made my hair stronger and it stopped coming out when I combed it.

I pulled my hair into a wet ponytail and went to bed. In the morning I blow dried and my hair felt strong and soft.

I had to whip out my original light protein...Mane N Tail Original Formula...
on my 16 weeks post touch up hair...

I use it as a pre-poo, slapped it on my head after I got in from work...worked it into the roots, left it there for at least a 1/2 hour...

I followed up with some Humecto for five minutes...and my hair was straight...minimal shedding...and combable.

*thumbs up*

Hey ladies I want to jump on the bandwagon with you guys. I just joined LHCF a few days but I have been using MNT for a while. I like alot but am still trying to figure out how much to use on my hair. I cow daily with vo5 and then apply the regular conditionar as a leave in. I added olive oil and 2 drops of peppermint oil to it because I saw that someone else did the same thing and got good results. Seems to be working ok,just some days I have more shedding than others. I got the regular shampooe but don't use it 'cause it made my hair completely dry. thinking about getting the moisturizing shampooe, the pj in me really doesn't need to .

we'll see!

Hey Freedom, I had the same problem with the shampoo drying my hair out...try diluting the shampoo with water in a bottle. It's not as strong and your hair still gets clean. Works for me!

Ok I went to the BSS yesterday and say a plethora of MTG products.. I read the back of the bottle on the regular conditioner and it says RINSE... So is everyone using the original conditioner as a leave in??

Hello!

I purchased some MNT yesterday and used it according to the directions on the back; I will try leaving some in next time. I have a question about the ingredients. On the back of my bottle Hydrolyzed Protein is not listed as an ingredient, Hydrolyzed Cellulose is. Is this a protein? For those of you who have been using this for a while do you notice a difference in your hair since the formula has been changed?

I read a lot of this thread trying to see if anyone had brought this up before and I didn't see it mentioned. However, I must confess I did not read every page of the thread so if this has already been discussed forgive me. TIA.

 

[testimony777]

Bumping; hoping someone will respond

 

[cocowhite]

I found it at the local Beauty Supply Store and Sally's.

I think it is on the original but I have to check and get back with you on that.

 

[testimony777]

Thanks for replying cocowhite! I went and purchased another bottle today and the ingredients listed are the same as what was posted on this site, it includes Hydrolized protien. I called Straight Arrow and left a message regarding the different ingredient lists so hopefully I will hear back from them soon. Thanks again .

 

[cocowhite]

No problem! I notice that on the original it has the collagen and on the deep conditioning formula has wheat protein.

I didn't know that the formula changed...Did it really?...b/c the one I bought not too long ago has hydrolyzed protein as the listed ingredient.

Oh ok...I just seen this message...Mami, you scared me for a moment there.

 

[testimony777]

lol. No need to be scared. I do wonder why there are two different ingredient lists. Both of the bottles that I purchased say original main n' tail; other than the size of the bottles they look exactly the same in terms of labeling, but they have different ingredients listed on the back . I will post again when I hear back from the company.

On another note I am loving this product!!!! I can already see a reduction in the number of shed hairs I have when I rinse. I have only used the one with the hydrolyzed cellulose but so far so good. I will try the ORIGINAL original formula tomorrow.

I am so glad I found this site and this thread !

 

[testimony777]

I just spoke with a rep from straight arrow regarding the different ingredient lists on the two bottles of Mane N’ Tail that I purchased (one from Walgreen’s one from Sally’s). The rep told me that Mane N' Tail purchased at Sally's BSS or any other place that ships products overseas has to list the ingredients more specifically than Mane N' Tail sold at Walgreen’s or target per the regulations of the countries they ship to. The formulas are the same.

Thanks Testimony for the info!

I had gone off to do a bit of research and read the rest of the thread to see your answer from Straight Arrow. Thanks for the update!!! Glad you're having success

Well I did CW with the deep moisturizing conditioner and the original formula and my hair was so soft and silky. I love it. I will definitely be doing more CW, if I can continue to get the same benefits...

 

[felicia]

is there a difference btw the original and moisturizing other than the obvious? why does everyone prefer the original over the deep moisturizing one?

Hmmm...good question. I really don't know, I personally only use the original one as a leave in conditioner and bought the moisturizing one by mistake, I thought I was grabbing the moisturizing shampoo.
I can probably take guess that the original has been on the market for awhile and has been tested to help with growing and cutting dowing the breakage, whereas the moisturizing is a new formula that has just been put out on the market in that last couple of years and no one really has vouched whether there are any good or bad benefits from the using the new version. It's funny that I have seen in some of my old magazines the moisturizing verson and never thought about it trying it, but then again I still in weaves.

i hated the moisturizing one, just thought it was a waste of money really, i gave it to my cousin. i love the original one tho. i wish i tried the moisturizing shampoo...

what didnt you like about the moisturizing one?

 

[Candy_C]

what didnt you like about the moisturizing one?

well i kind of had high expectations. it was just cheap and built up on my hair, it softened it, but nothing brilliant. Compared to the other moisture conditioners i use i thought that this would be excellent as the original performs so well.

it works well on the other ladies hair tho, my hairs just picky when it comes to conditioners

 

[SouthernGirl]

I'm not sure what the difference is b/w the Original one and Moisturizing (although I'm sure someone has explained it in this thread somewhere )

I have always used the Original b/c I like the results so I've just stuck with it. I do rememeber a thread about "harmful" ingredients in poos and one was called MET I believe, short for Methylchloroisothiazolinone. The Original one does not contain this ingredient, but the moisturizing one does.

Not to cause panic for those who use the Ex-moisturizing one - I think we all agreed that many poos contain this ingredient and we didn't think the amount used during a shampoo would really be harmful. At least that's what the manufacturer said.

add me to this club. I plan on making these two my staple shampoo & conditioner. I don't plan to use the conditioner as a leave in though. We'll see. I just realize that I need something to thicken up my strands and this always did that!

Welcome girlie

 

[gorgeoushair]

Does anyone else find the shampoo hard to lather or is it just me?

 

[cocowhite]

I never tried the shampoo but that is my next purchase (the original formula), however, I have to later twice regardless of what shampoo I use and how wet my hair.

 

[MonaRae]

I am all over this one! I read the whole thread Sunday and before I even finished I ran to the store and go some of the conditioner. I will get the poo and detangler tomorrow.

I have been CW all week long and I love it. Just today I notice bare any hairs in the comb.

Looking forward to longer thicker hair!
