A lot of us are about to take an MN break and you aren't supposed to abruptly stop, causes shedding.

I am also slowly reducing usage. Applying every other night only on edges and nape so they can catch up with the rest of my hair.

Re: Miconazole Nitrate (MN) Challenge (May 1 - July 31, 2012)
Hmm, I am going to continue MN at least until I use up my remaining tubes. I've been using it only for about a month.

Hi Ladies I have been watching this challenge from the sidelines. I have a question for all of the relaxed ladies. Do you stop using MN a few days prior to relaxing and if so how many days prior and how many days post before you pick back up using again?

Doing my MN about once a week when I remember. I found $1 MN at the Fiesta grocery store a few weeks back! My current mix is NM , tresseme split remedy, and eucalyptus oil. That eucalyptus oil give a nice tingle

Interesting question for you ladies
Will you be replacing your MN with another growth aid during the break? If so what kind?

I think my plan is to do trigger for the break and then sept until the end of the year, use MN and trigger and really go hard lol. Goal is to be a good APL where one trim doesn't knock me back out!
I just finished my mix, guess I can make a little mix for the rest this month. I think I will do the same mix - peppermint, JBCO and MN with a few drops of WGHO...
