Miconazole Nitrate (MN) Challenge (May 1 - July 31, 2012)

[LightEyedMami]

I moisterized and then applied my MN mix.

 

[MsEveMarie]

MsEveMarie, That is what i have heard too...I will take a 1 month break (mid august) because then i would have been taking it about 3 months.

Yeh that would be good, b/c I think it's just a waste of product if you co time to apply after 3 months of use

Thanks jprayze and LightEyedMami

Your welcome Mjon.

-I just moisterized my hair and applied my MN mix... jprayze are we supposed to check in tomorrow with growth pics?

Side Note: I have been retaining well lately (besides a small setback from using AOGPB),and my hair feels soo much better then it used to and now im thinking my length (retention) is coming more from my New consistant DC'ing routine, and only partly from MN ....i guess i will know for sure during my 1 month break starting mid-august....or maybe they just work nicely together :scratchch ....

Hello Ladies, I will be moisturizing and using MN tonight. I have created the possibility of growing 2 inches by the end of July. I just installed twists (extensions) about two weeks ago. My hair has grown quite a bit since then- so much so that I have to redo the front of my hair next week. This time, I will take pictures of my hair so I am aware of my growth. I hope you all are doing well. HHG!!

MsEveMarie
Thank you for the info. What did you mix yours with? I don't mind experimenting.

@abioni No It was the same exact brand, just different vendors. I found a site that sold them 12 in a case. Since I fell in love with the product when buying it from walgreens.com, I figured why not save and buy it in bulk. I didn't experience any significant growth. So I stopped with the MN for a few months. A Couple of weeks of ago I noticed I still had a tube left so I just used it up...the growth was phenomenal. Even tho the reason for most of the growth was b/c it was mixed with something I wouldn't recommend to anyone on this board.

In any case it may not have been the potency at all, I could have just plateaued on my MN growth wave. I think after a while the MN growth spurts stop (after about 2-3 months)...so it's prob. necessary to take a break...then restart, so that your scalp doesn't get used to it.

I've decided my previous mix od mn was way to diluted.. From now on I will be applying generic MN directly to my scalp followed up by my sulfure mix which is 8 oz of oil (4 oz of jbco extra dark, 1oz of jojoba oil and 3 oz of grape seed oil) and one teaspoon of sublime sulfur hopefully the addition of the sulfur mix will increase my growth.

I am extremely pleased with my progressive. I've always had thick hair but I think all those Dominican Blown out and excessive use of heat with using a protectant has taken a toll on my thickness one side of my head is shorter than the other so I baby that side like crazy lol we shall see what this month brings for me with this revision.

Ok Mznelly,I had to go back and do some reading to find out what you did to get all that awesome growth! So, do you think it was the sublime sulfur? Where did you purchase it from. I bought some MSM pills but I have not been able to find the powder...Help a sister out pleez...

Yes please post length checks if you can! I have post any yet but I should be able to in a few days. Waiting for my curls to fall and hair to be completely straight.

To be honest I used the sublimes sulfur mix for three days... That ish smelled so freaking bad I couldn't stomach it!! I am trying to figure out a way to incorporate the mix because I used my jbco in the mix and I'm NOT trying to waste .....

This is my typical hair week.... Sunday is my wash day depending on how much manipulation i put my hair through that week is deciding factor on how long this day is for me. If it was a wore my hair straight week I give my hair extra moisture concentrating on my ends. I prepoo with honey and grape seed oil (my hair loves honey) and let that sit for a hour or so, then I shampoo with my CON sulfate free Aragan oil shampoo. omg that thing is the truth. Then I use CON Aragan oil conditioner, I ALWAYS d.c whether I'm washing or c/o washing it is a must for me. My d.c of choice is a mixture of ORS Hairepair treatment, jojoba,, evco, grape seed and peppermint oil to stimulate my scalp. I leave it for a few hours while I'm lazing around the house doing absolutely nothing. After I wash this out, I mist my hair with chi keratin mist, elasta qp h2o leave in, and let air dry. I m&s with elasta qp mango butter and seal with evco

During the week i apply my mn nightly, I posted my current mix on this thread so check it out then I m&s. when I'm c/o washing I use designer essential hydrating conditioner wash it out the i apply oils on my wet hair and apply my CON Aragan oil conditioner on top of that cover it with an plastic cap and leave for one to two hours rinse, d.c, air dry, and bun for the rest of the week. I hope this helps you if you have any question do not hesitate to ask

I think it's safe to say that's in the ball park of an inch... Even if it's not i'm SUPER happy with these results.. Hoping for another inch this month too a girl can dream right?

Reflection: I reaally like the MN + Sunflower & Olive Oil moisture lotion mix. The lotion alone keeps the length of my hair moisturized for a day or too, and it smells great and mixes well with the MN I'll keep this mix for a while...might add some MTG this time around to compare as well

 

[afroette]

ManiiSweetheart, great growth! i hope I get an inch in a month. a thick inch!

Thank you! Do you apply directly or mix?

 

[afroette]

I mix with JBCO and garlic oil.

I've been thinking about adding JBCO mhmmm

I should be able to do it this week

 

[KiWiStyle]

I just applied my MN mix, massaged scalp, moisturized & sealed and now I'm whole head baggying. I have to step up my 'A' game if I plan to be APL by December.

I started MN on June 4th and I haven't seen any significant growth. I'll know for sure when I relax in August, my flat iron job yesterday was decent but I couldn't straighten my NG completely.

I took a week break from MN because I had my hair trimmed and flat-ironed. I'll be back on it tonight though!

 

[Mznelly]

So I think it's safe to say i passed APL? I'm still in the stage in disbelief....the first pic was taken a few hours ago and the picwith the white shirt was taken 2 weeks when i got my touch up what do you ladies think am i full APL or an i creeping my way (wishful thinking) to BSL
