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

[Carmelella]

I'm late with my July 1st pic. Sorry! I have been using MN, MT, and jbco on the edges. July 21st will make it 5 months since I've been using MN

Do you guys see a difference?

Do u brush ur hair a lot, use wigs or wear hats often because I'm not sure if it's just the lighting but ur edges look a little sparser/ more receded in the after pic.

Now you can find those wide cloth headbands that are very loose and cute. I would start wearing those so that you wouldn't have to brush or manipulate ur scalp in that area at all. U wear the rest of ur hair out or in very loose pony tails or buns and it'll look cute. And not sure if ur natural or relaxed but I wouldn't relax that area until it thickened up. Also try massaging ur scalp a few times a day.









Good luck

Checkin In,

I applied my MN mix last night via applicator bottle ... I am considering continuing my use of MN until I exhaust the batch I have now (about six ounces.) I will still take out a few of my extensions so I am able to post my growth results on the 31st. I hope you all are doing well.

 

[ilong]

half an inch?? Amazing! I have that after three weeks of application.

I know ! I have to slap my hand from playing with that hair.
But looking at my growth aid arsenal - the MN had a LOT of help!

And sorry if this is TMI - but as another poster reported- hair in THAT!!! area has grown also!

@ @eocceas your hair is so beautiful!!!! if it was possible i would steal it from you! ... are you relaxed or natural? just beautiful...whats your regimine?

Thnx LightEyedMami...I have been 100% natural for 2.5 yrs

My reggie is...
1x a month on the 1st of each mo.
I pre-poo with a hot oil treatment or protein (Alter Ego)
clarify scalp with Terressentials
Deep Condition w/moisture under steamer
Add my leave-ins and seal then retwist

On the 15th of the mo.
I Prepoo & cowash following dc/steamer/leave-in and seal in twist.

Hope this helps...I try to K.i.s.s but is it ever really simple?

 

[MsEveMarie]

Lol so I had to quickly read backwards to find out what this HTGE is that you Guys were referring to...turns out its hair trigger!

So funny that I use this whenever I'm not doing MN. I don't use her exact mix, as I was on Hairlista doing a challenge with her while she was coming up with it...I do use a similar one with almost identical ingredients tho (my own mix).

Great product and she's a very lovely/helpful/knowledgable individual, so I hope everyone jumps on board and support her company!

Carmelella thanks for the pics of the headbands. I'm going to look for them.

Im currently wearing buns. No wigs or hats. I do brush my hair, but not my edges. I'll will def keep the perm away from my edges from now on.

I got my MTG today. I'm waiting on my emu oil. I really hope this will kick up my MN mix and lety hairline grow.

[lovestarr]

Applied my mix tonight....i'll be going on vacation next week for 5 days and not sure if I should take my MN with me.

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

^^^ if you plan on applying it then yeah take it if you feel you need a little break then leave it home lol!

 

[ilong]

I'm on a business trip in South Beach and my hair (BSS hair sew in) has LOST the battle with the sun and humidity. My MN mix along with the sun and humidity has turned my head into A HOT (literally) messerplexed. Second thing I do when I return home is get this mop out of my head.

Checking in,

I just applied my MN mix … I think I might be able to use the mix up by the end of the challenge. My crown is definitely loving the mix, it's growing beautifully.

 

[jprayze]

No MN yesterday. Will apply tonite. On every other day schedule now.

 

[SoopremeBeing]

I forgot Friday and Saturday, but I will apply tonight.

 

[ManiiSweetheart]

Okay do I just bought some more mn and I added it to my cayenne mix

 

[Course24]

Checking in. Applied 1x last week. Will apply 2x this week & the following week with 1 wash before end of challenge.

 

[jprayze]

Did not apply last nite, but did this am. Gradually reducing usage.

 

[Mjon912]

MJ checking in =) I've been using my mn mix everyday...I just got hair trigger growth elixir so for the past couple of days ive been using that after I put the mn on my scalp and massaging... Call me crazy but I'm thinking about laying on my bed horizontal with my head hanging off and massaging my scalp to make sure blood flow is getting there...lol the things I'm wiling to do for some extra inches

 

[afroette]

My scalp is itching!

 

[Mznelly]

Did not apply last nite, but did this am. Gradually reducing usage.

I'm slowly reducing my usage also

 

[Honey Bee]

jprayze, Mznelly, I might have missed where y'all said it, but why are you slowing down?

 

[Lanea87]

Just applied it to my edges.....

I have only really been applying to my edges 2x/wk. On my wash days on clean edges....otherwise I have gel on my edges.

I wanna make sure that I am benefiting the most from my MN.
