Let's Start an MN Challenge!!!!

Okay, with the renewed interest in MN, why don't we start an MN challenge?

Here are the proposed rules:

1 - You must be new to using MN (i.e. you just started using it within the last week or so)

2 - You must use MN for 6 weeks either daily or every other day (or twice a day if that's your thing) and track your progress. There will be a midway check in at about 3 weeks.

3 - You must share how you're using MN (solo, mixture, etc.)

4 - You're permitted a 1 week "bye" if you have a relaxer coming up.

And, of course, if you have any adverse effects, of course you can drop it.

So, who's game?

Don't use MN if you're preggers or trying to get pregger. I'm about to join the later group, but good luck ladies. I had a lot of new growth from MN.

I just started using Friday, but I'm not sure how long it will take to really see results since I'm transitioning. It would be easier if I was relaxed and could see the new growth, but since it all looks the same now it'll be more difficult.

I've been using the 2% MN alone. I've considered the MN/cortisone/cayenne pepper mix, but that's too much for me right now - I'm just too lazy to make it.

I use MN daily and I'll give results at three weeks if they're noticeable, but six weeks sounds better.

I'm down I've been using MN off and on since September. This will force me to do consist application and remember that I'm not the only women rubbing cootie cream on my scalp. :lachen:

I'm curious to see how this turns out. I vowed not to use any growth aids until after my stretch ends in December because my NG is already out of control. But I can't wait to see your progress. If there's good news, I'll start my own challenge on January 1, 2008.

I'm excited for all of you!!! :clapping:

Please take pics and post them so that we can see and monitor your progress.

I'mma join the later group as well because I'm still stretching. I think I'll get a better idea if this stuff works when I'm freshly relaxed and that won't be until mid-December. I'm excited for all who are doing this, through and can't wait to see the progress.:yep:

I used MN for a while and I got some good growth:yep:
just make sure you check the brand you use because (for me anyway) some brands gave me HEADACHES!!!!!!!
pure MN seems to work better than buying AF

I might just start this up since I'm not usin any type of growth enhancer right how:rolleyes:

I want to join! I just started last night. I took two 2% Neosporne(sp) AF and two to three spoonfuls of Sulfer 8 (light). Mixed together (the mixture is yellow) and applied. I brought a cheap Gel jar. Took out the gel and put the mixture in. I will apply it everynight if not every other night. I will also be using/finishing up my BT.

Can't wait to see the outcome!

I am on a HYH til Xmas challenge now so I will not be able to show every now and then. I will check in and tell you though. I will also take pics when I reveal throughout my challenge so you can see. I will create a MN challenge in my Fotki to keep track.:yep:

Count me in too, please!! I just bought some Neo AF today at Wal-mart! I think for this challenge I'm going to focus on my nape just to see if this stuff really works like people say it does. My nape is significantly shorter than the rest of my hair, which I think contributes to the bottom of my hair looking thin. Anyway, I will apply it daily to my nape starting tomorrow! My starting pic of my nape is in my fotki in my last updates album. :yep:

I had planned to start a challenge in NOvember but I will wait until this chalenge is done with .. now ladies I must tell you that if you all want to be cute at work you better get a half wig or some braids because you will not be able to go six weeks with the NG MN will give you I know I have the real proof...

I'm in! Just started over the weekend.....I already have a TWA though because I'm 9 weeks post . Ionly have about an inch of NG right now, so i am hoping MN gives me a few inches more "real fast" so I can get to APL sooner than Xmas lol.

Count me in! I just started using it this on this past friday and on monday. My mix is cd hair balm, 1 tube of Neosporin AF, wheat germ oil, emu oil. I am not sure how often I am going to use it. Probably will apply some tonight and try to use it every other day. I don't have access to a digital camera until december when I can get to my dad's, but I will report my results.


ETA I have tried this twice and the first time I experienced dizziness which I later learned is a side effect from the ACS site. This ends my participation in the challenge. I also don't like the drying effect on my roots and scalp. Not worth it to me.

Count me in too! I just bought the Target brand of miconazole 3 with 4% and 2%. I think I'll do it every day. I am punking out and getting a TU this weekend. I'll start right after that.
 
Hi Sareca! Not preggers or trying to but I am thinking about joining challenge. Quick question - why shouldn't you use it?

Don't use MN if you're preggers or trying to get pregger. I'm about to join the later group, but good luck ladies. I had a lot of new growth from MN.

I would love to join, but....I started using it a week ago and I'm getting these terrible headaches :nono:. I've dilluted it with oils and other creams but I'm still getting the headaches. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make them stop so that I can continue using it??
