Loving the updates so far. Our official update date is October 15. I can't wait to see Mznelly's new growth then. Braids really are a great way to track that growth and the benefit of no manipulation. Seriously contemplating them in the new future...hmmm maybe I will braid to BSL.

Lol I plan on redoing them and rocking them till the end of the challenge I enjoy not having to think about styling my hair every single day I really recommend it.

I have been using my mn mixed a little more frequently since I am weave free right now but I did notice increased growth in the back. I really believe I grew 1 Iinch since using it so now I can't wait until I go back to my weave...I want to be pleasantly surprised in 6 weeks.

Question: How is everyone applying their mix? Are you mixing in a jar and applying with your fingers (as if you were greasing your scalp), are you putting it in a bottle and squeezing it directly to the scalp, etc? And why do you use the method that you do?

I started off putting it in a 5 oz jar and applying with my fingers. I wanted to have better control as to how much was applied (or so I thought). After two weeks of that I mixed it in a bottle with a very small applicator tip and proceeded to apply that way. The bottle gives me the ability to use very little and then use my finger to massage. I prefer the bottle method because with my fingers I had to put more on my finger to spread it across the entire scalp area for that section. With the bottle I get a thin strip directly across that I can massage into my scalp without having to over-apply. I wear straight styles mostly and don't want the oils from my mix to weigh me down.

I did not join this challenge but I have been using MN and I am in awe of the growth and thickness from it. I use it daily with a little coconut oil mixed in...

1st pic is from August 25th 2012 and the 2nd is Sept 11th 2012.

A lot of growth for such a short period of time!

I have my MN mix in a bottle and I just squeeze it on my fingertips and massage it into my scalp.

That sounds like a great self challenge. I just started an EO blend that I'm just massaging on my trouble spots...I'm doing that at night and the MN every morning.

I will post the recipe for the EO from my computer.

Random: Had a hair growing out of my forehead! It was close enough to my edges/scalp to attribute it to MN. Geesh

I apply mine directly to my scalp with a small tip applicator bottle. Followed by a scalp massage.

I'll be taking out these braids out soon the amount of new growth has left them look raggedly and unkept which is a no bueno for me! I plan on taking it down washing dc and flatiron it... I'm contemplating discontinuing the sulfur challenge. Without the braids I would need to co three times a week at least idk if I can do that ( commitment issues) lol but I'll keep y'all posted

Nooooo.... I'm in both. We can do it together :). I co-wash 3x's per week and wash 1x per week. After next Friday (as I'm on a personal challenge to MN and Sulfur mix everyday until then), I plan to apply the mixes during the week only, co-wash 2x and wash and style Fridays for the weekend. I'm on a 1-2 inch mission before I relax in November.

I was a woman on a mission, took those braids out! Washed and dc my hair flat ironed it and now I'm enjoying having my hair back. There was a time when I use to be able to keep weave and braids in my hair for months I'm talking four to five months at a time, now I can barely keep It in a month (((embarrassed face)))

This USE to be my bang (faints)

Bang before

Rest of my hair is in a bun. I'll show it on the official length heck in two weeks
