I've decided that I'm going to put together a seperate blog and Twitter account from my regular one specifically for this challenge.

This was a personal challenge of mine before I saw this thread, and thought it will be better to put down any tips, pics, info etc in one place.

Once I start on it I'll post the links here. Hopefully it'll be of benefit to somebody. Just from researching some things last night I found some great info/products etc.

I would like to join & I also have a question. For the ladies that are using MN, are you using it straight. I used to use it back in the day but am too lazy to mix it with all of that stuff now.

Nakia, I use MN 4% straight (in the tubes). When I first started MN, I wanted to see results ASAP and so didn't want to dilute. My hair had fallen out in spots due to stress and I saw FAST results. I tried to go cheaper with the 2% but didn't see faster progress than using no growth aid. I use the 4% every other day. I tried using it every day during one week and my scalp started burning/itching. I may mix the 4% with some of the 2% mini tubes I have lying around that come with the package to try and stretch some, but I doubt I'd ever mix the 4% with a hair oil or cream (as long as my scalp tolerates it straight) because I don't want to hamper its effectiveness.

I decided to try MN. Nothing I've done before gave me 1 in/mo so maybe this will. Will start 1 Jan if I can find 4% by then.

Miconazole nitrate. Its a substance commonly used to kill fungus on the body, but which also dramatically speeds hair growth in some people.

Pureebony, MN is the active ingredient in Monistat (yes, the "coochie cream" LOL). I buy the Target generic brand since it less expensive than the Monistat name brand ($8.89 for the 4%, 3-tube package). CVS brand is about $13 and I think Monistat is $17?

When I first read on here about people putting Monistat on their scalp it sounded crazy. Then I thought, the same stuff I used to get corns off my toes is the same stuff I use on my face to keep zits at bay - salicylic acid! MN jump-started my growth, and my hair that had a shaved appearance only a few months ago is now laying on my neck and heading for my shoulders again!

Hey! I'm in! I mean I already joined the APL by Dec 2010 so I guess I'm already in I'll have to grow and maintain an inch per month. An inch per month is pushing it, but its totally possible! I'm starting at uneven shoulder length. Some of my hair on the side is neck length, the front is chin length, the whole back an crown is shoulder length. Even if I don't reach APL exactly, I'll so be grateful if I land amongst stars with very thick, healthy, and even shoulder length by Dec 2010. :spinning: I'm very new here so I still have to get my routine written down and down pack it may change as I learn more about my hair, what it needs, and how to take care of it. I'll very happy to have hair like the girl in my avatar by the end of 2010!

Add me to the list! I am in a weave right now but I will be taking it out in a month so I'll post a pic then. I will be trying to drink 6 or 7 cups of water daily and take my Biotin and multivitamin capsules daily. I will also hopefully be exercising regularly and eating healthier.

Count me in. I'm not sure on the growth rate of my hair every month but if I could gain 1inch per month I'd be ecstatic.

I would like to acheive this by cracking down on my protective styling, especially at night. There is no cutting corners with this.

Wash, deep condition with steam once a week. probably need my ends trimmed sooner rather than later.

Improve my eating, take my chlorella and I should be good to go! Right? :ohwell::grin:
