The Official Mane 'N Tail Users Club

Since i'm now texturized and no longer natural, I have decided to join the club. My hair has been breaking a bit and I think it's because I need some protein. I hope to get the great results you ladies have!

OK, back with my update :)....... LOVE the shampoo (very moisturizing, low suds) LOVE the conditioner (SOOOOO much slip)... HATE the detangler (wasn't very moisturizing at all).... LOVE the stengthener (great slip, smells great).....while shampooing/conditioning I ONLY LOST 1 SHED HAIR, NO BREAKS....yes, I checked the bulb on the hair :)....

Which shampoo do you have?
 
so far so good with this combo! my breakage is getting better!!!!!! I'm doing other things as well but co-washing with the conditioner is really working itself out in my head:)
 
How is everyone doing on this ongoing challenge? I am almost ready to replenish my conditioner and I found that the original and the NTM leave in (cream) works beautifully together. I apply the NTM the next day because my hair is a little bit hard from the MNT conditioner, but it softens up and is ready to comb after my additional leave in.
 
I purchased the original MNT poo/con a couple of wks ago, but haven't taken the plunge! I was shedding a lot until I did a recent Aphogee treatment. I was thinking maybe I could use MNT in between the Aphogee treatments for continued protein starting this weekend. I also use NTM leave-in.
 
I'm still going strong. I use the Original for a conditioner wash once a week. I also have it in a moisture mix that I spray on my hair everyday. I bought two bottles of the original back in December (buy 1 get 1 free) and I am still on the first bottle.
 
I'm yet holding on!
I use it as a daily moisturizer now, using just a little on dry hair and sealing with Coconut Oil.

Divinefavor - How are you creating your moisture mix?

Is using MNT Conditioner as a leave-in 3x a week too much? I don't think I'm having any negative effects, but I usually just bun it afterwards, so I don't really notice. I also pre-CW with Aubreys GPB. Is that too much protein?

I use distilled water, with Orig. MNT conditioner, another moisturizing conditioner (usually what's in eye shot in the cabinet, but most of the time it's Elucence MB) and a few drops of oil (jojoba, sweet almond, most recently though it's been the Jamaican Mango Lime Oil). I don't measure, which is something I need to work on. :lol: HTH!
 
I am now trying to use this in alternate weeks with my apple pectin line. This has really made my hair thick....especially my roots good lawd!
 
Hey Ladies :wave:

Just checking in! It's great to see that you guys are still going strong, and that there are still others joining the bandwagon.

I'm still using MNT and my hair is still responding well. I'm back to mainly doing co-washes more frequently than using shampoo, but I will still shampoo about once every week 1/2. Since it's getting warmer and I can airdry on the drive to work like last year :)

Regards,

SG
 
I want to join this challenge. Today is my join challenges day for all those that I've been lurking on for a while. (I think I've read 90% of this thread during my lurk marathons.)

I bought some MNT back in February and when I've used it I've been very pleased with the results. So now that I'm official, I will make sure that I do it routinely. :)

How do you part/do your hair to air dry it?

I generally just wash (or co-wash) it, put a bit of MNT conditioner in during comb/out, then tie a satin scarf around it as shown in this picture:

Then just let it hang there and dry. It dries really straight, thanks goodness, which is why I don't have to use much heat. Sometimes I put a bit of oil on it for shine, but not too much and not all the time.

HTH,

SG, do you use MNT conditioner for your co-wash and leave in?

Update:
I just bought the original shampoo and I really like the smell of this too. I was going to co-wash but I wanted to try it out, so I pre-poo with milk & honey conditioner and castor oil for 30 minutes, shampoo twice with original MNT shampoo, then applied the MNT original conditioner for 2-4 minutes then rinse. Towel dry, applied salerm21, scurl, MNT conditioner, comb thru apply sweet almond oil and then bun. Morning time applied profectiv breakfree and oil and back in bun. mY hair was so soft and silky I had handitis I just couldn't stop touching my hair. I will be rotating this within my hair regimen.

Hey Girlie :wave:

Yes, I use it for both. If I co-wash, I use the conditioner and leave a small amount in as well.
