2013 MN Challenge

[jprayze]

Good Morning,

The list of challengers is on Post#2. I just copied those who thanked, but I will go through the pages and make sure that I didn't miss anyone.

Here's my starting post/info:

What is your current length? APL

Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? I started in 2012, at the end of March.

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? I'm going to be using a mix with 2% MN, jojoba and grapeseed oils with rosemary, cedar, lavender, and thyme EOs. I have a 1 oz tube and about 3oz total oils, so .25 will be MN in the mix. I usually do about 1/3 MN so I may add some more as we go along. This should last 1 month.

What frequency will you apply it?

Alternating every other day with MN oil mix and liquid gold sulfur oil. Starting Jan. 1.

Any other growth aids that you are using?

Been slacking on my vits but will go hard starting on Jan. 1 -- viviscal, a multi, calcium/vitamin D.

Anything else you care to add? Trying to get to MBL by December 2013.

@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?

MTG is basically sulfur. Mainly used to strengthen and lengthen horse manes and tails ... and it works for humans too!

 

[deedoswell]

I'm in!!! Need a boost to see if I can get to full BSL in 2013. Used MN in the past and it did help me to get to APL.

What is your current length? APL/about two inches from BSL

Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? Nope, was in 2012 MN challenge.

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? I will mix 2% with essential oils and sublimed sulfur.

What frequency will you apply it? probably 3 times per week

Any other growth aids that you are using? In Vitamin Challenge

Now just need to get my butt to the store and buy it!!!

Hello Everyone! Last night I rinsed out my conditioner and mixed my 4%MN with Marula Hemp by SSI along with some extra dark JBCO. I mixed well and applied and massaged the scalp during so.

Ok, here is my info. I haven't started with my MN mixture yet. I will be mixing the ingredients on Friday.

• What is your current length? TWA (2.5 inches)
• Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN? I've used MN this past summer, however, it got to be too much dealing with the ng and stretching relaxers.
• How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? I'll be mixing it with The Peppermint Pomade and adding jbco, camellia oil, and a few drops of rosemary, eucalyptus, and peppermint oils to the pomade.
• What frequency will you apply it? I will be using every other night.
• Any other growth aids that you are using? sulfur concoction
• Anything else you care to add?
• Don't forget a starting pic!

Hey Ladies,

After looking at the calendar, I realized that I will have my hair in a PS by the end of next week. So I'm on and here are my stats:

What is your current length?
I am about a strong inch from BSL, but let's keep it simple and say that I am APL.

Is this your first time using MN or how long have you used in MN?
I was a part of the 2012 challenge and I had great results ... that's why I am back one mo' time.

How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)?
I will mix my MN with various oils and some Indian powders ... more than likely, I will be using Bhringraj powder in the mix.

What frequency will you apply it?
I will apply the mix three to four times per week ... and this time, my plan is to gradually cut down over time.

Any other growth aids that you are using?
Nah ... unless we are counting supplements and drinking more water.

Anything else you care to add?
I'm pumped ... let's get this growth girls!

Don't forget a starting pic!

HHG ladies, I hope you all are doing well and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm not sure exactly how much mn I used, maybe .5oz but I used 1oz of oil mix. I think it will last me until mid next week if I apply every day, but I plan to go get more MN tomorrow.

I'm happy I can apply my mix and still maintain my hairstyle. I really love that it's very lite and smells really good. I tried mixing it with oil only and the products would separate and I would have to stir it before each use.

deedoswell I mix the MN with ORS Olive Oil, Oil Moisturizing Hair lotion and then add a little JBCO to my mix. It's a very creamy moisturizing mix that's not too oily. I don't want too many products on my scalp because I tend to get itchy, plus the JBCO will help thicken the hair from the root.
