Okay, finally ahead of the game. I came in very late on the last challenge. So ready for this one.

What is your current length? A little past BSL, Close to MBL maybe?
Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? I am currently
using MN. Been using it for a month and a half now.

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? One 1.59oz tube of MN with 1/4 4oz jar
of Doo gro.
What frequency will you apply it? About 5-6 times a week
Any other growth aids that you are using? Not now. Sometime in the near future I
plan to implement some cayenne pepper cream.

Anything else you care to add? Been natural for almost 3 years. Still have about 3-4 inches of perm at the ends. I WILL NOT CUT THEM! LOL.
Starting pic: I would like to post one prior to starting the new challenge.


I see others posting pictures in their post, can you guys show me how to do this? I know, I am not very forum/pic savvy.

What is your current length?SL Natural
Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? I have used MN in the past, I really started consistently the last challenge since about August / September 2012. I have had some shedding episodes but I'm determined to figure it out. My hair has benefited from MN. I might change mix, etc.
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? I currently mix it with castor oil, mega-tek, vatika coconut oil. I'm considering changing this mix based on reviewing other posts etc.
What frequency will you use it at? I have been using it every other day but I may reduce it to 2-3 weeks.
Any other growth aids that you are using? Njoy mix when not using MN, may. Implement vitamins
Anything else you care to add? This is my 2nd challenge, my other is APL

Hello Strawbewie, I too am natural and was wondering how have you been able to determine new growth? I've been using mine for a month and a half now, and see no difference in most areas. I was just going to thread wrap another area on my head, but was wondering if there was any other way.

Thanks.

I'm still a rookie at this but I take pictures every 4-6 weeks, basically every time I take my hair down from a PS. After 2-3 months I noticed change in thickness since my hair was thin then the length seem to come. I'm using several growth aids, so it it could be a combination of things. I think jprayze would be helpful in answering questions about MN since she has used it more . I don't know anything about thread wrapping. OP, any suggestions for aliyah7

I'm joining. I tried it dot a while last year and turned my sister on to it and she loved it. I am moving up to 4 %. Does anyone apply it straight opposed to mixing it?

When I first started I applied straight but I usually followed up with some oil anyway to combat dryness.
