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!!!

I have 4a/b hair!! Good luck!! I am sure you will love it!
 
I saw the website the lady was was talking about and I was not impressed, it's just me I felt she was taking a long time to grow some inches on her hair. I've seen SG process come a lot faster and was impressed with her way then the founders on that website.

I'm not knocking that website nor her methods to me that length took to long to achieve.
 
Ok. After reading 11 pages of this thread, ya'll have convinced me to return to MNT after a very long time. I use to use it. I gotta re-visit. Ya'll are not good for recovering pj's who fall off the wagon daily!!!! So, consider me joined to this club as of tomorrow!
 
Thanks Candycane for the site info. I'll check it out. :)

Needmyhairtogrow, that's sweet :kiss:, but you're making really curious about this other technique!!

Good2uuu. Yeah :clap:!!!

I'm so glad you're joining. Just in time for Christmas!! Welcome, welcome, welcome!

M/T UPDATE!!!!!

I just washed my daughters hair with M/T products tonight and her hair was the easiest to comb in a long time. He hair very thick and kinky! I was able to glide the comb through her hair with ease!! :clap: :clap: I will let it air dry overnight and press it in the morning. :)

I also washed my hair today and noticed it is getting thicker! I am loving M/T!!! :)
 
Merry Christmas Everyone :wave:

Hey Mrslee,

That's awesome about your daughter's hair!! I hadn't heard a lot of feedback about how it's working on children's hair, but this is great news. I'm sure it saves a lot of time detangling now!!!

Merry Christmas to you as well, SG. By the way, congratulations on reaching BSL. I have used the MNT. I think that it is pretty good, but I am worried about it making my hair hard. Have you found that the conditioner makes your hair a little hard?
 
Thanks Tryntogrowmyhair :kiss:

The conditioner does leave my hair feeling a little hard, which is why once I've combed it out to detangle, I also apply a little Wild Growth Oil and it really softens it up nicely.

No more hard hair after that! I add a little WGO to my scalp, and a little to the hair and ends and let it finish air-drying the rest of the way. I then put it in a bun/ponytail.

Thanks for the tip SG. Is there a good substitute for WGO? I did not like the way that it smelled. If there is a substitute that you recommend, I will definately try this after using the MNT conditioner.

Hello,
You can try some olive oil or castor oil if you dont like the WGO. I use WGO after M/T as well. I get great results.
 
I agree w/Mrslee, although I've never tried anything else. If you don't like the Olive, you can also try Jojoba oil. WGO has several different oils in it if you check the ingredients list (including the ones we've mentioned). You'd probably be pretty safe choosing any one of those.
 
Okay girlz....I finally used MNT poo/cond/detangler & I'm semi-impressed. I washed my hair 2xs with the poo & it got kinda hard, but once I put the conditioner on, it was like putting hot butter on my hair or something. It instantly took the "dryness" I felt on my hair as a result of using the poo and gave get slip (as well as moisture). I think I messed up when I made the mistake of rinsing out ALL of the conditioner b/c my hair became hard once again! I used the detangler to help once I got out of the shower(and to no avail) it did NO JUSTICE to my hair. As a result, I got kinda aggravated and started yanking @ my hair (i know...i know).

Don't get me wrong i LOVE the MNT poo/cond, but I gotta find another staple to detangle my hair afterwards. Mona, Southergirl, and others....do you all just leave the conditioner you apply on the hair after you poo, or do you rinse & apply again as a final step? Hope that didn't confuse you girls. I think to help with the detangling process, I'll have to purchase some Staf so fro or S-Curl. Any suggestions are more than welcome!!!!

Hello,
Well at least you are still hanging in there. I only wash once with the M/T poo, then follow with CON for some slip. My hair does feel weird after washing with M/T poo alone. Afterwards, I blot my hair with a towel and apply the M/T Conditioner. Let it airdry for about an hour and then I apply WGO to my scalp and hair, concentrating on ends. Let it finish airdrying, usually overnight. Style as normal.

Since you are having a detangling problem try using the NTM leave in Serum to help with this. Good LUCK!!

I am sure SG will have some advice as well! :)
 
Hey MrsLee!! Thanks for the tip! I bought the whole NTM line and it really didn't do anything to my hair. I must admit, I think my hair likes the serum though! I'll try that @ my next wash & see how my hair responds...

I havent tried the whole line myself. However, I did purchase the M/T detangler and I didnt like it, so I stopped using it. I thought it made my hair even more difficult to comb, so I use Surge14 in place of it.
 
Count me in, I'm the proud owner of a new 32 oz. bottle of the original conditioner. It's a good leave-in for a protein one - no hardness, breakage - works great with my wash n wear.

Welcome!! I started with the conditioner at first! Then added the poo later.

Hey Jasmin!

I think most members in this club DO use the conditioner as a leave-in & that's where I messed up during my wash b/c I made the mistake of rinsing it out. I've learned my lesson & will know to keep it in the next time!!! :perplexed
 
Hey Everyone :wave:

I'm so happy everyone is hanging in there with the MNT. I hope other ladies will check in as well to let us know how you're progressing. And where's Mona?? Hope you're hanging in there Girlie!!! We miss your advice :(

Nolechik: Glad you're on board w/the line. You are 100% correct about the shampoo. This was my issue with it originally, which is why I've always maintained that if you're going to use this line, you will definitely see the results, but you have to work with it. I guess it's high-maintenance like many of us :).

Mrslee is right on point with using CON after MNT to help detangle. This is what I did for YEARS!! That is, until I discovered the MNT Detangler. Now I can skip the CON and use only MNT products. After I wash w/the MNT shampoo, I spray a bit of detangler on (not too much but enough to do the trick). I gently comb it out (with little or no hair loss), then apply the MNT conditioner. I DO NOT RINSE THIS!! I believe you get the best results using it as a leave-in. I like the coating it leaves on my hair, and I feel like it's protecting from whatever I do next, whether it's heat styling or pulling it back into a bun/ponytail. It also prevents breakage/shedding for me.

After I comb it out, I just add a bit of oil and S-Curl to the hair/ends, and put it in a protective style.

Hope that helps!!

Yup! As Nolechik pointed out, most of us leave it in. That's the secret! The shampoo is good, but the conditioner as a leave-in is what I attribute the extra thickness in my hair to, not to mention overall strength.

Other leave-ins tend to make my hair too soft, but I love how this stuff makes it feel. Like I can pull and tug and it's going no where!!!

SG :)
 
I finally was able to get out and get some MNT conditioner. I conditioner washed with it last night, put some is as a leave in, surged and oiled my ends and baggied them up. All I have to say is wow! My hair feels great, and the conditioner smells really nice. Not like I remembered from years ago. Also, my shedding is practically gone. It's a keeper! Glad SG re-introduced me to this...lol!

That's awesome Good2uuu! It smells better than what I remember also. :)
 
Thanks guys for the replies. I think I'm going to pick the set up. Hopefully I can find the detangler.

Okay a few more question for now. Have you guys used the conditioner with other shampoos? If so, how did it work out? Is it best used with the MNT shampoo?

Before I finally bought the Poo, I used it with CON and NTM shampoo. It worked fine for me as well. I am a complete kit kind of girl, so that is why I finally grabbed the M/T shampoo and detangler.

Yeah I'm a kit girl too. If I can I get the set.
 
MNT member checking in. I have also being loving it as a leave in. Like SG said the hair feels stronger and thicker. I like to apply that to my dry hair with some oil and baggie it up. My hair stays soft and moist until I wash it again :)
