SN: I currently have a thread open, just polling other LHCFers for more info on their MN usage: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=15959793&posted=1#post15959793
And wondering what your plans are as far as MN-- How long do you plan to use it (beyond the challenge)?

What is your current length?
- Newly APL
How long have you used in MN?
-Never have..but i will start This weekend
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)?
- I was thinking Starting off will a "low dosage" MN mix and every time i make a new batch add more MN and less sulfur powder, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Wild Hair Growth Oil, and End Mender leave-in.
What frequency will you apply it?
- Before bed every day
Any other growth aids that you are using?
- Multivitamin, Biotin, MSM
Anything else you care to add
-Mhmm I can't WAIT to see these results!!!!!

Checking in. I definitely see some growth in the middle of my head, but I'm not so sure about the back and sides 
Anyway, will be doing a Henna and DC tomorrow and will continue with MN as planned.
Anyway, will be doing a Henna and DC tomorrow and will continue with MN as planned.
So I've been doing the miconazole nitrate 2% for almost 3 weeks and i'm almost done with my first tube. I use the CVS generic MN 7 2%
and have seen NO new hair growth. I got my roots done on the first and was expecting to see at least a quarter of an inch by now 18 days later.
I put the MN in a color applicator bottle (i count to 3, thats how i've been measuring) and just enough warm water to dilute the cream. I've been doing this every night since i started. I put the solution on my scalp and massage it in.
Should i upgrade to the 4%? should i try putting the cream directly on my scalp? Maybe i just got a bad batch of the cream? am i doing something wrong?
perplexedperplexed
erplexed erplexed
Has anyone else had this problem? does it start off slow then all of a sudden BAM new hair growth like crazy
All advice/help is so appreciated!!!
Thanks

Do you know your regular growth rate?
jprayze
Im taking biotin, folic acid, hair skin and nails vitamins. I wash my hair every 3rd day. i use sulfate free shampoo. I deep condition with moroccan repair and hydrate. I use hair mayo from organic roots..I have wild hair growth oil that i use the night before i shampoo.
My hair growth is kinda on the slower side. about 3/4 of an inch every 6-8 inches
NaiyaAi
The water is luke warm from the bathroom sink. How i measure the MN into my color app bottle is i count to three (1,2,3) then just enough water to dilute the MN cream. I can have less then an ounce to an ounce of liquid in my bottle

I want in! I NEED some hair. I love my texture but I hate my length... Idk what to doabout it. So I'm trying this now...
What is your current length?
Barely SL... maybe even NL... I just cut about 2 in off the end because they were dead and uneven
How long have you used in MN?
Just started today May 18th
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)?
I used it directly today... Gave me a bit of a headache. I may decide to mix later
What frequency will you apply it?
I plan to apply it at least 4x per week before bed
Any other growth aids that you are using?
Prenatals because I'm breastfeeding.
Anything else you care to add:
I condition my hair multiple times per week with olive oil moisturizing conditioner. I alsouse olive oil. Im natural... No perms in like 3 years. I usually wet and go. I flatironed to trim but I don't apply any heat to my hair normally. I don't even blow dry.

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)?I'm going to mix it with some oils I already have, not sure what tho...I will eta what oils I use**i decided to mix it with half of a jar of BB Super Gro and then after I've massaged it in put some dr. Miracles go oil on my scalp and rub it in
