Thanks for making my night!

 

[Faith]

You all didn't tell us how nice the hair feels after tying it up overnight. I woke up and couldn't stop touching my hair...wow. It felt like silk. VEry smooth and soft. I could see how one could over apply...lol

Re: The Official Mane \'N Tail Users Club

Mona,

I am sooooo proud of you!! /images/graemlins/clap.gif I honestly could not have said that better myself! You are awesome. The new MNT expert /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Tosca, I'm happy you're joining us! You'll definitely want to use the regular shampoo and conditioner, not the Deep Moisturizing one. It will do wonders for your fine hair, because it actually thickens it (the conditioner). I don't know if this is scientific, but many users have expressed this, including myself.

There is info in this thread on how we all use the products, so take a look. Also, if you'll check out the website Mona pointed you to, take a look at the FAQs they are very helpful.

BTW everyone, I went Rite Aid and got my stash of stuff! I also bought the Detangler. It's on sale for $2.99!!!!

SG

SG, Thanks so much for the encouragement!!! I can't wait to try M&T...Sorry, I would have responded sooner but I couldn't get on this site till like 5 minutes ago!!!

Hi Ladies...
this thread has my head spinning and my pj wheels turning...
I've never tried Mane n Tail products, but I'm curious...are they ok for fine hair? I'm trying to stay away from heavy products that leave residue on my strands...what do y'all think?

[/ QUOTE ]

I have fine hair Tosca...and I have to admit...after I used it...I'd have to say MNT is a keeper in my stable (no horse pun intended... /images/graemlins/laugh.gif) My hair definitely feels softer, thicker and stronger. I'm mad SG has me up here sounding like a damn commercial. /images/graemlins/look.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks, Mona! Hmmm...I think it'll have to be my next purchase /images/graemlins/smile.gif. Do you think I should try the regular shampoo and conditioner?

[/ QUOTE ]

SG likes to use the shampoo - she can give u more insight if that's they way to go or not. I use Keracare for my poo...but I use the Original Formula Conditioner.

For thicker, healthier looking hair.
An exclusive original, highly concentrated formula with a unique action that helps to maintain and achieve a longer, healthier-looking mane and tail.

The Original Mane 'n Tail Conditioner can be used as a leave-in or rinse-out based on hair type and desired look.
Results can be seen after one application.
Works 5 Ways:
Conditions and fortifies hair and skin for a renewed, lustrous, healthy look.

Helps prevent hair breakage and split ends.

Natural oils nourish and condition scalp to protect against unsightly flaking and scaling.

Essential moisturizing corrects the drying effect caused by sun, wind and use of bleach and peroxide lighteners.

Keeps hair tangle free, soft and manageable for grooming and braiding.

Instructions

Begin with shampoo. Rinse thoroughly.
Leave-In Application:
Apply Mane 'n Tail Conditioner to towel dried hair. Use just enough to give the desired look. Reapply as condition of hair indicates.
Rinse Out Application:
Massage Mane 'n Tail Conditioner into scalp and hair. The amount used will vary depending on the volume and length of hair. Let conditioner remain on hair for 1-2 minutes. Rinse out, dry and style as usual.

My hair was in a bun. It's always in a bun until I wash again. I don't take it down in between that time Thanks again. I used it on my mom's natural hair this afternoon so we could comb through her hair and the comb went through effortlessly Need to definitely buy another bottle...lol

 

[SouthernGirl]

Yeah!!!! That's great Faith

 

[Valerie]

I could not wait until the weekend to wash my hair, I washed it the following day after I got the products. I mean, if I died before the weekend, I would not have used the products, anyway, because I did not have the Deep moisturising shampoo and conditioner, I was only able to get the original one. I took 10p (dime size) of shampoo and I added a couple of drops of olive oil, one drop of castor oil and one drop of honey. Washed my hair after giving it an olive oil hot oil treatment, I left the conditioner in for about 5-10 mins, then I rinsed it out. Then I applied a mixture of wild growth oil, castor oil, revitalizing cream and mane n tail conditoner. I cannot believe how my hair feels so velvety soft. I put my hair in flat twists and I unloosed them to feel how soft they are. While I am writing this, I am stroking my hair. The range is excellent! I can't believe how soft my hair feels, especially my ends, this is the problem when you have your hair natural, it seems always dry. MNT have a very pleasant smell. I braided my daughter's hair and her hair is a lot coarser and thicker than mine and her hair came out beautifully. All I can say thank you SG and all the other ladies who have recommended the products. The conditioner is going to be my stables with my castor oil and wild growth.

 

[Nay]

I was wondering how this would work for natural hair. Thanks, Valerie, for your review. I just might have to buy some to try it out!

 

[Nenah]

I went and bought the conditioner and I love how it makes my hair feel I'm on the Team now huh please let me in please

 

[PrettyBrownEyes]

SG,

I picked up the Conditioner and Detangler today at Sally's. I can't wait to try them!

 

[SouthernGirl]

Hey Prettybrowneyes,

I'm so excited for you! I cannot wait to hear the details. Keep us posted!!
SG

 

[Needmyhairtogrow]

Add me to your list.

 

[SouthernGirl]

Valerie,

Congrats on your success!

I'm so glad the products worked for you, and I love how you add the oils to it. You're giving me ideas!!

Hey Nay, I'm not sure how it would work for natural hair, but I'm sure it would be just fine. Maybe we'll have some natural ladies weigh in with their experience.

Nappyme and Needmyhairtogrow, welcome!!! You're added to the club

 

[Ebony]

I also used it faithfully in '93 alternating it with my pantene back then. my hair responded well to it back then. From 96-present i've used it on & off. i guess my hair responds to it differently now, but i keep a small supply in my cabinet just in case.

 

[Needmyhairtogrow]

I can honestly say I bought the MNT products, this was the first time i've everrrrrrrr left conditioner in my hair and was scared out of my witts thinking my hair was going to fall out. I tried it saturday after my perm and plan on trying it on my next wash. I have noticed a softer feel to my hair from the first application. I really hope my hair will become thicker, like another lady stated on the post I have fine hair. One day next year I will post a picture of my hair's current state but really want to see an improvement first.

The only pictures I have are my wigs. I have been looking at SouthernGirl's regimine and have been in contact with her about her hair and am looking forward to having my hair grow. My hair right now is at the base of my neck and I'm hoping when my graduation ceromony comes in May of 2005 I will have my hair above by bra strap but in the middle of back. My family has not seen my hair in years becuase I would slap my wig on first, so I hope these MNT products will help the text of my hair and the length. Thanks for the wonderful tips ladies and I plan to add you in my buddy list.

 

[SouthernGirl]

Hey Needmyhairtogrow

You can do it gurlie!!

I know you can!!! Let's see, hair grows on average about 6 inches per year, and your graduation is about halway thru the year. I'd say, let's realistically shoot for 3.5 inches. You should be able to blow that out the water! Just stick to your regimen, take your vitamins, and keep those hands outta that hair! When you start seeing progress, you'll want to play all day.

Post those pix as soon as you can so we can all pitch in to give you advice/recommendations. It's sooooo much easier to do that when we can see your hair and imagine your goal.

You GROW GIRL!

You can do it, and we're with you all the way. You'll knock 'em dead at your graduation, and they'll think you're wearing that wig!

Hello fellow Mane N Tailers!

I have tweaked my regimen just a bit to incorporate S-Curl to add moisture.

I'm still using all the MNT products in the same manner, but now since I am faithfully bunning it, making a real bun and not a ponytail like I did for most of the year), I felt I needed to add more moisture than I was getting simply using WGO.

All I do differently now is spray S-Curl activator on the hair before rolling it into a bun, and it stays super-moist until I get ready to spray again (which is typically the next day). Many on the forum use this product for moisture (Honeylemondrop and I think CaramelHonee does too) with great results. No I see why!! I've used it a few times but I'm now going to use it daily.

Hey MNT girlz...

Well, I was so eager to try the MNT poo/cond. once I joined the club, but I couldn't find it at my nearest Wally World (even in the pet section). But I'm not going down without a fight. During my lunch break today I'm going to Sally's to pick up my "supplies" and will perform a test run tonight on my hair for the xmas weekend. Will post results if not tonight, tomorrow!!!

Hey Nolechik,

That sounds great! I'm glad you're not giving up on your quest!

Definitely tell us about your results. There are lots of examples in this thread about how we all use the products, so hopefully you'll find a routine that works for you!!

Regards,

Hi ladies quick question are any of you using surge along with the mane n tail products? I just started using the mane n tail shampoo/conditioner original in the mornings (I wash every day) and surge and the potion 9 oil at night I hope this is not too much protein, but I have noticed in the past when using protein my hair will get stronger & grow but it has always seemed to get too dried out and I would back off but I am hoping with adding the oil at night this just maybe the solution.

**********************

I use my surge and M/T products together. It is working out wonderful for me!! I have about .75 inch of new growth since my last relaxer in Nov.!!

 

[SouthernGirl]

Hey Jada,

Mrslee is right on point- you can absolutely use Suge w/the MNT products with no issues.

The oil will definitely help "neutralize" the protein in a good way by making your hair more supple. I'm not a regular Surger, but when I use it, I get lotsa growth!

[Jada]

Thank you guys for responding I am loving the mane n tail products and just a heads up there is a new product I bought yesterday at sallys for heat protection it is called Barrier I tried it this morning along with my usual mane n tail original conditoner leave in and it is a keeper my hair was so detangled like never before I think I have finally found my holy grail products thanks to you guys and also the woman on the black women rejoice website she uses the mane n tail products also...

 

[Jada]

[SouthernGirl]

Yeah Jada!!!!

[nolechik]

I'm interested in that website too Jada. This barrier stuff sounds interesting too!!! Guess I'll have to pick-up some of that too today when I go get my "supplies" from Sallys. Ya'll are really making me excited about this MNT. I was wondering (besides Southergirl) who has 4a/b hair that uses MNT. I have this hair type & I just hope it doesn't turn into a matted mess!!!
