2013 MN Challenge

[DominicanBrazilian82]

Another question ladies: I see most ppl mix 1/4 tube w/something else. Do you use the entire 1/4 tube in one application? Or have you been using it throughout the week or until its gone? TIA!

When I used MN, I didn't use a lot. So a 1/4 tube batch could last me for a week; if I used it everyday consistently. My last mix was AE Garlic Scalp Treatment, Garlic Oil and my Sulfur Mix (Sulfur, WGO, Jojoba Oil, HTGE, JBCO). The ratio was always 50% MN to 50% Oil Mix. A tube can last me a month. The creamy texture helps to spread it thinner as well as I like to wear straight styles (rollersets).

 

[jprayze]

Thats whats in my mix, I don't think it's too much, but I suggest starting with MN then when you're comfortable with that add the sulfur and or cayenne

I agree. Good advice.

 

[PeJae]

What is your current length? SL
Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? No
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? I may do a lite mixture with JBCO or straight
What frequency will you apply it? Every other day
Any other growth aids that you are using? Going start my Biotin again
Anything else you care to add? Haven't really been consistent, so I will try very hard this time

I bought my 4% Monistat cream today. I have my Marula jar. I will have to blend a bit. I have to use my JBCO extra dark (No back ups), and I am not finished with my treatment yet. I have on the trigger and GPB, and peppermint conditioner overnight so I will get to the scalp after the treatments tomorrow!

 

[felic1]

shykeira... It may not look nice biut it will make you look great!!

 

[Lanea87]

Wasnt able to go get any MN today because I had to babysit my niece and didnt wanna bundle her up to take her outside.

I will go tomorrow after work!

 

[alanaturelle]

I like store brands cause in cheap and I've gotten great growth with it.

 

[Cherry89]

Okay, I will be getting my Monistat today. I also will buy some castor oil too, so I can mix with my monistat. So my mix will consist of Monistat, Castor Oil, Olive Oil and alittle but of sublimed sulfur.

 

[Cherry89]

Should I get 2% or 4%? I heard that the 4% is more potent or works better then 2%, is that true ladies?

People say they dont notice diference in growth using either 4 or 2%. but some get headaches with the 4%

 

[Cherry89]

Okay, Thanks. I guess I will go with the 2%., Lawd knows I don't want no headacheserplexed

 

[jessicarabbit]

I'm in. I got pretty good growth using mn consistently last year. I'll use it errrrday (since I'll be cowashing daily) and probably use it straight or mix with castor and peppermint/rosemary oil.

 

[Perfexion]

Count me in. I ordered the six pack from Amazon but it hasn't arrived yet. My hair is SL natural. I'll be applying it direct daily after cowashing. I used MN a few years ago right before I big chopped. I'll also be starting Viviscal soon. I'll post my pic as soon as I fix my computer at home.

I get the Equate brand (2%) 7-day Treatment from Walmart.
You get a big 1.59oz (45g) tube and 7 empty
disposable applicators for $4.98. Using it almost daily to grease my scalp,
it lasts me about a month. That's the cheapest I've found in stores so far.

What is your current length? SL

Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? Yes

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? Mixed with a leave in

What frequency will you apply it? Daily in the morning

Any other growth aids that you are using? I went back n forth between sulphur mix and megatek but was never consistent with either. I still have some of each and maybe I'll try to incorporate them with MN. Has anyone tried that? If so what were your results? So I guess this is a good think that I'm doing this challenge because I need to be consistent with a growth aid, lol.

Don't forget a starting pic! My Dec 2012 in the siggy will be my starting pic.

I'll trim every three months as well.

 

[Binetad]

So... I'm gonna need these people supposedly finding MN at Dollar Tree to start sharing some locations.

If you live in a city theres a greater chance of you finding it. I went to the 99$ store and ask for their ointments/cream and they directed me to it. I found Budpak Antifungal Cream with 2% MN for 1$ I bought 10 tubes.

 

[aliyah7]

@ManiiSweetheart's - How long have you been using MTG? If you've used it separately from MN what kind of monthly hair growth have you noticed with that? Have you noticed any extra growth with both?
I looked up a lot of reviews for MTG. Most were really good. I'd like to try it sometime in the near future.

I used MN alone 1st and got around 1 in a month. Then I added mtg and still got 1 inch but it was definitely thicker and stronger.
I've been using mtg since .... June. I would recommend it the only thing is that it smells like concentrated bacon to me. But it's rather easy to mask.

Heck im mad because I just spent $6+ for the FD Brand. Yep Im cheap at the moment LOL

I wish, how big/small are the tubes?

 

[NaiyaAi]

@Binetad I never even thought about the 99-cent store! I checked the Dollar Tree in the Bronx and they didn't have it. =(

ManiiSweetheart What's MTG?
