I wanted those ladies that use MN to post your mix here so others can try them or even offer advice on mixing and so fort. I figure since there are many of you trying it again or even for thr first time can come in this thread to check in, update your mixes and hair updates ( pics please . )also I feel that everyone has thier own opinion on using certain growth aids but for the ones not using and or not interested or just browsing please keep negative comments to yourselves thank you. I would like this thread to be positive . I FEEL IF YOU ARE GOING TO TRY MN PLEASE GIVE IT ATLEAST 2 WEEKS TO HAVE THE BEST COMPARISON BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAVE RESULTS AFTER THIS TIME FRAME .. HOWEVER IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS ( HEADACHES) WITH USING IT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY OF THE LADIES IN THIS THREAD THAT HAS POSTED WITH RESULTS ADVICE ON MAYBE TWEEKING YOUR MIX .
POST YOUR RECIPE
2 tubes Family dollar Brand MN $5.00
1/2 jar sulfur 8 grease (I think sulfur powder would be just fine for those worried about the ingredients in the grease.)
1/2 bottle bb moisterizing lotion
20 drops each rosemary and peppermint essential oil
3oz coconut oil
3oz castor oil
other oils I add are as follows
1oz shea butter oil $.99
1oz tea tree oil ^
1oz olive oil ^
1oz grape seed oil ^
and I also add a generic oil called africas best oil
this recipes makes about 4 8 oz bottles which last me a long time so when I get pms this is the only recipe I go by therefore you will have to decide your own proportions for a smaller batch ok.
Also I feel that as long as you have the MN, SULFUR, ESSENTIAL OILS, CARRIER OILS AND SOME TYPE OF MOISTERIZER .. IT SHOULD WORK
I just liek to make a whole lot because the sulfur 8 grease needs to be whipped really good and the coconut oil melted and I don't which to do this very often .
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN USING IT This is my start date and pic 08/07

HOW DO YOU APPLY IT I add this mixture to my scalp every 2 days at night
NEW GROWTH PIC
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS OR SPECIAL NOTES YOU WISH TO ADD ABOUT YOUR MN REGIMINE Here are a few good helpful questions and ansewrs another lady asked
1. It's o.k. to heat ALL ingredients together or would that kill the properties of the MN? (I find that if I leave my coconut oil in a warm room, it does melt nicely without actually heating.) I only melt the coconut oil seperate and then I melt the SULFUR 8... I think melting the MN will ruin it for sure
2. Once the mixture is applied to the scalp, is it o.k. to then massage and rub it in? yes it is ok to massage it in I just wear a plastic cap over my head for a few hours at night to let it penetrate .. but some wommen rub it in
3. How often is the mixture applied to the scalp? Daily? Every other day? Twice a week? you can apply it as much as you want to I just do it every 2 days because I don't want too much build up
To Iae06, looks like you got an inch a month or a bit more. yes I think i got about that much or so
4. Can you explain other aspects of your regimen like shampoos/conditioner/deep conditioners/moisturizers? before i started going to the dominicans I washed every 2 weeks after i took out my cornrows.. poos i use mane and tale, CON, and panteene
clarify with nexxus
DC i use ORS replenishing pack, ORS hair mayo, alter ego garlic
moisturizing conditon- CON
leave ins - salerm 21
ladies I used either or at different washes then I would blow dry my hair ..
now I only get roller set and i relax every 6 weeks
5. Is this mixture drying? Does your scalp dry out? my scalp does not dry out infact i thick my scalp stays moist all day long but i natually have dry hair that is why i add so many oils and stuff.
6. Do you use any other growth aid? Topical or otherwise? I do not use any other growth aid no vitamins no shakes no nothing i have in the past but I have alwasy been a person to try one thing alone and see it effect and since the MN has gien me the most growth I have stucked with it..
I need to start taking a multi vitamin though also I DRINK 6 BOTTLES OF WATER A DAY
7. No side effects like headaches, dry scalp, dandruff? back when i first heard about MN in feduary i tried it but did not add anything to it and boy did I get headches then I was like I am going to try this again .. so I figured since everyone was making thier own MTG with all kinds of oils and stuff why not make my own mix of MN
Also I Would like to add tha I have never had any extra shedding out of the norm due to using MN however I noticed that I have to either get a relaxer sooner or attemp to tame my NG ..
