is it okay to use Lekair cholesterol as a dc when using MNT or is that too much protein? the reason i asked is b/c i am rotating wks between moisture and MNT(light protein) and want to know what wk to use Lekair as my dc, my moisture wk or my MNT week. Can someone help me out?

I got my MTG yesterday and applied for the first time the same day.
One thing I'm not getting is all the fuss about the smell....it ain't that bad!

Hey ladies,

Just thought I'd put my two cents in..... I've been using MNT since I began transitioning 34 weeks ago and I can honestly say that I have no problem dealing with my two textures or breakage because I use the MNT conditioner as a pre-poo and mix it in with whatever deep conditioner I decide to use! I love that stuff! I have no breakage since transitioning and I swear this stuff makes my hair feel like it's all the same texture! I would recommend MNT to anyone who has dry or brittle hair because it seems to revive damaged hair! When I started using it I was recovering from a bad hair color that left sections of hair all over my head with only 1" of hair! I mean it was broken off all over my head. No one could tell how bad it was damaged because my hair is extremely thick but I thought I would have to do the tony braxton cut! My hair is now all most the same length and I can't even tell the 1" spots from the others! An old white lady at Salley's told me she swore by MNT and ever since I started using it my hair has been on an upward journey! I did a neck length cut in May 05 and today my hair is at collar bone! I L-u-v M-NT-!

Not only is it OK, but I recommend it! This is what I use whenever I want to deep condition, and it gives me a nice balance b/w protein and moisture.

You'll enjoy it, I'm sure!

WOW!

What a great story! I'm so excited about your progress. It's also nice to know that you can use it while transitioning and never miss a beat (or a hair)

Congrats girlie!!

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?!?!?!

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!

Hey Darlin

Welcome to the club!!!! What an exciting way to kick off the new year!!! Try the oil mixture when you can. I got that idea from Mona and my hair likes it!! I don't use it regularly, but every now and then I'll mix it in.

Thanks for the warm welcome, SG!!!! You are too sweet!!!

I'm going to try the oil mixture next week. I don't feel like doing my hair this weekend. So as a treat I'm going to see Balisi (a member of this forum) for a wash and set on Saturday. I'll be sure to come back and give an update on the oil mixture next week. I have been using my mixture of distilled water, mnt and a moisturizing conditioner almost two weeks now while wearing my hair back (I really think my temple area is starting to feel in ).

 

[devin]

oh great! can't wait to use on Friday! thanks!

Sounds GREAT! Let us know how it goes

 

[SouthernGirl]

No problem

You actually just reminded me that it's time for me to do a LeKair treatment. BTW, if you don't like to use a lot of heat (like me), the LeKair treatment works just as well if you fully saturate your hair with it, then add a plastic cap and leave it on for about 45 min - 1 hour. I haven't used my hooded dryer for my deep cond. treatments in over a year, and I still get great results.

HTH,

SG

 

[pretty-girl#1]

Thanks SG,

[devin]

<sigh>... so i rediscovered mane n tail... this was after "discovering" the now discontinued DDTA (and then wondering what i would use to replace it since i couldn't get anymore) ... i will say this much... the deep moisturizing conditioner is simply wonderful for my hair... currently i'm using it in my daily cw and as a leave-in and my curls are super defined... so this is a keeper... i dont' remember how my first bout went with it when i was in high school but it's definitely come full circle... now i just have to figure out which moisturizer works best for me.. lol

Hey Fellow MNTers!!!!!

Sale Update - Sale Update!

I was in Rite-Aid in Northern, VA yesterday, and they are having a buy-one-get-one free sale on the conditioner and shampoo! I don't think the sale extends to the entire line, but I at least saw that the poo/cond. was on sale.

The sale is also available online. Sale is thru January 14! I missed the Sally sale so I grabbed a bunch the other day

Hi SG
Am I too late to become a fellow MNTers?

I remember using this product as child and it made my hair so thick and strong...I was using it during the summer and I loved it...but I really don't know what made me stop...I think it's when I started trying out NTM...I had little to no breakage while using it...and now I'm ready to start it up again.

I'm going to try the conditioner tonight...after my workout routine...I'm so excited...

 

[cocowhite]

I know reading thru this thread there were some issues of the hair feeling hard, so one solution I found was that after I washing hair and applying my MNT conditioner as my leave-in, comb thru, then I apply NTM silk touch leave in cream and then seal with jojoba / sweet almond oil wrap and in the morning apply a little bit more NTM leave in and my hair doesn't get hard or at all...HTH...

 

[SweetCaramel1]

update........ first use of MNT on my 3 year old's hair last week and mine. our hair loved it! she has the type of hair that usually "frizzes" after you wash. it's been 5 days and no frizz!!! her hair is silker, stayed smoother longer and looks healthier. i've been trying to find the right combo for her for a long time now. looks like i've found it !

oh and my hair feels stronger and has much more elasticity! two thumbs up for MNT

 

[MiWay]

I just tried the shampoo and conditioner, and I love it. My hair was so soft and silky afterwards. These might be my staples!

I love the "Original" conditioner, but haven't tried the Shampoo. Are you using the Original or the Deep Moisturizing?

The original one. I wasn't sure how the deep moisturizing one would be, but I may try it one of these days.

Another sale alert!!!


Buy one, get one free on 32oz bottles at Walgreen's

 

[Cooyah]

i started using MNT and i want to say THANK YOU LADIES, wow the original conditioner leaves my hair so soft, i use it as my leave in and then throughout the week i add a little water and conditioner to a bottle just to keep it mosturized. i like the deep mosturizing con also but just for a regular wash and the hair strengthener is great also. thanks so much

 

[Lady_Lioness]

I'm so in love with the MNT original conditioner...I haven't tried the shampoo yet...I used it for my co-wash last week...and my hair came out feeling really soft and strong...I was experiencing a few breakage b4 using it and after one use...my breakage dramatically decreased...This is definitely going to be a keeper.

I tried the deep moisturizing con during the summer...and I liked it too...it gave my hair so much slip.

Hey Lady Lioness

Of course its not too late for you to join!!! We'd love to have you

Many of us who used this product in the past wonder why we ever stopped. The good news is that you should enjoy the same benefits you once did. I don't think they've changed the Original formulation much since I first used it about 13 years ago, but it seems to smell better than I remember.

Good luck using the conditioner! Are you planning to co-wash?
