Welcome to the MHM Hangout. This is not a challenge but I do ask that you join the thread by sharing the details listed below.
This hangout is for those who are actively using the MHM method as described by Pinkecube, or using one of the alternate methods of Aketafitgirl or DanaB. This hangout is for those who at least for right now consider MHM their regimen of choice. Those doing the bald spot regimen are also welcome.
I ask that you join the hangout only AFTER you have tried the method and decided it is something you want to pursue.
If you are new to the method or have questions about the regimen, please check out Pinkecube’s blog. She fully describes the regimen at The Max Hydration Method Detailed Regimen
Recommended Product List
If you have read the regimen, then here are few points that may help.
For those that join, we don’t need to defend our choices in this thread. Feel free to answer legitimate questions, but please try to refrain from defending against or battling against those that are just passing through. HoneyBee is great with handling varying opinions. Please follow her lead if you can. If not feel free to ignore the poster and move on.

Butters n Bars - I have personally used and recommend.
Monterey Bay Spice
Bulk Apothecary - I have heard this clay is thin, so beware.
PH STRIPS
I recommend ph strips especially if you are considering using baking soda. But they are helpful anytime you are mixing or diluting product. I have found the following strips to work well.

If you have read the regimen, then here are few points that may help.
- Doing the regimen for 7 days straight is ideal, but not required.
- Doing the Cherry Lola/Carmel treatment is optional to get started. It can be done later.
- Baking soda is recommended for low porosity. Normal and High Porosity ladies, try acv or whatever you feel is a gentle clarifier for your hair.
- You can style your hair anyway you like. WNGs are not required.
