Wow! Amazing! How often do you apply?

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF

Thanks! I apply once every day in a mix of WGHO and apricot oil and a few drops of peppermint. Was thinking of changing my mix but its working so well and my first batch was about 2.5 oz total with 1.0 being MN and I still have some.

I'm going to use 2% MN straight from today until I wash again bc I don't want the excess oil on my flat ironed hair.

:crybaby:I want back in...I need you guys...seriously tho, when I was in this challenge and others I stayed on top of my hair care, I guess because I have y'all to talk to about it, in real life my friends just look at me like :drunk: this chick has lost her mind... I told my best friend I'm on a mission to WL through ps and she was just like oh ok :ohwell:next subject... I need people who are excited about healthy hair care so I can be too!
I'll do my best to check every time I apply even if its at crazy times like 3am when most normal people are drooling blissfully into their pillows, promise, I'll even do an introduction again just let me in before I go bald...please and thank you:grin:
 
Hey Ladies! I know I'm super late, but I'm hoping you will let me in since check in day is tomorrow =) jprayze, let me know!

What is your current length? BSB

Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? I used it a little in the past, but I was so inconsistent with application and measuring, that I really can't say if it worked for me.

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? Mixed with coconut oil. That's about it.

What frequency will you apply it? Daily.

Any other growth aids that you are using? Nope.

Anything else you care to add? I'm currently wigging, so I hope that this in conjunction with protective styling will be just the boost I need!

Don't forget a starting pic! Here she goes:

Ended up not using any MN yesterday...fell asleep last night so I did it first thing in the morning. So today is my first day of using it straight. I will let you know when I stop.

Girl if you look at my posts... 2:20am, 4:12am... Straight vampire life. Welcome Mama. And you are so right. My Mom, who is a lace front queen, would be on YT and websites looking at how to care for her hair. She talked me down about wigs! So when I started learning how to take care of my natural hair (via YT and this site), she acted like I was talking another language (Traitor). So I stick to y'all when I talk about hair. Everyone else looks at me like o_O

Girl you know we are hair for you (see what I did there I know I'm clever) . I know your struggle my family think I'm crazy for washing my hair so frequently, for using sulfur and mn. I've gotten to point where I want to scream shut up and watch it grow! I'm a night owl so I'm alwayson here lurking.... I like this challenge better than my other, you guys actually respond to my crazy self on daily basis

Question for yall that make a mix (I use it straight) how do you get it to mix with oil? I tried it once and it was a major fail. Just oil and chunky mn :(

I would like to know the answer to this as well...

My way of doing it is mix it with a cream based before adding oil in this casing I mix it wit megatek and then add the oil and voila no clumps

^^^There is some settling that goes on with my mix, but before I use it I shake it a couple of times. I think it helps it stay together a bit because I used a heavier weight oil WGHO in it.

Yayyy pictures! I'm starting my regiment today, but have decided to use shea butter instead of coconut butter since it's already in my cabinet.

I re-braided and washed my hair last night (in that order... no tangles for me!) =)

I would like to know the answer to this as well...

I add the MN to my water/conditioner mix (which is in plastic spray bottle)
I spray it on then apply my sulfur/ayurvedic oil mix.

Tip: I Add two marbles to my mixes. They help tremendously with the mixing - especially my sulfur mix as the sulfur settles at the bottom.

As soon as I get unlazy I'm gonna get to mixing. I don't know if I get better growth or not using it straight because I'm so on and off with it now. But I do know that it dries my new growth out so much more.

Mjon912 it's 3:01EST lol guess who's up??? That sounds like a powerful mix! Where did you get 4% and how often are you applying?
 
Amazing progress pics. I'm inspired.

Yesterday was my 1st day. I mixed with shea butter and split the product into 7 parts. I combined the 2% and the 4%. Note that the 4% was actually the little capsules... I had to crush them with a fork to get them mixed in. Plan to apply daily and co-wash 2x per week. Wish me luck!

From beginning of the challenge until today
