I actually decreased my applications. The first week after my blowout I didn't apply at all. I applied Monday with a nice massage. I won't apply again until Thursday. The equate brand makes my hair super greasy so I had to slow down a bit. I may splurge on the Monistat 7 and see if it's less greasy. We are in our second month already. How did everyone do last month?

That's a challenge for me too because I like to wear my hair straight a lot and a lot of product just weighs it down. Last week I just blowed dried, no flat iron and bunned. When bunning I can use as much product as I want as I want, that's why I could increased my applications.

I'm getting a roller set today. That's another forgiving style as far as using product. I will probably skip 1 day and start back on my MN.

Froreal3 I'm still getting my sulfur in too. I haven't noticed any growth yet either. And I'm in need of a trim soon.

I did so horrible on this challenge. I wasn't consistent enough to say if it worked or not. I'm going to start back using it Monday since I plan on coloring my hair today.

I want to color my hair to track my roots. I haven't colored it since the end of '13

I massaged in some mn and jbco/sulfur. I plan on trimming in March so I need all the growth I can get

I will probably get a trim next wk and do a length check.

I will do my length check in a couple weeks. I have been eating a lot more protein and drinking a lot of water. In the past a high protein diet gave me a serious growth boost. I don't know why I ever stopped eating healthy...

Today I applied my MN oil mix and liquid gold sulfur later. I wanted to Cowash, but my roller set can make it another day. So I will wait.

Hey, Ladies! Im still applying. Now I do my MN and then put sulfur oil on top of it 3x a week.

Sometimes I dont feel like applying, but then I tell myself I'll be very disappointed if I'm not *at least* BSB by December, so I betta grease up!

I mixed some mn with the sulfur oil today. It seens easier to apply it that way. I had been applying mn first, then sulfur oil...

I only made a tiny batch to use today. I like to mix it right before I use it so that it doesn't separate.

I went ahead and made a batch for next week. I am so ready to straighten my hair again. These roots remind me of a relaxer stretch

Just got my hair straightened so I put just a dab of my mix on my edges.

I've been applying very lightly to my edges, so I don't weigh my straight hair down. Hoping to get crochet braids soon and then I can apply to my hearts content between my cornrows.

Still haven't gotten my trim yet, but I will do a LC then. Hopefully the MN growth will cancel out the effects of the trim and I will be at my starting length or maybe even a little longer.

Im wearing my hair braided under a wig so I had to mix mn with aloe juice in an applicator bottle. It makes things so much easier for me.

I started mixing mine together too. It's a lot easier, and only time will tell how effective it is. I need it after my cut -and I need to cut a little more. I might go to Super Cuts after my next flat iron.

I did a pull test last night and I am right above my brastrap. I probably won't straighten my hair again until late March or early April. I hope to be Bsl by then *fingers crossed*

I applied my mn tonight and trimmed 1/2 inch from each one of my braids. I'm sure the hair I trimmed will grow back within a month. My last trim in October resulted in a big growth spurt.

Used just a light application of my MN oil around my edges. It's snowing pretty hard right now so my hair is pin curled and under a scarf.
