checking in- i applied my MN today after my rollerset.Those that are using it with coconut oil can you tell me what kind of coconut oil you use and where I can get it from? I've been applying straight from the tube but it can be drying so i need help with a mixture not too many items because im not trying to buy anymore product. Just want to find a good mixture so that i dont have to apply MN and then apply something to the scalp for moisture, wanna knock it out in one shot!

I use Nutiva brand. It's organic extra virgin coconut oil. I bought mine from vitacost.com. Mine was 54 oz for like $22 (the total was $26 - s/h). It's a super great value. I had been buying mine from a local health food store and I was paying like $15 for 16 oz; so I was so glad to find vitacost.

HTH!

Thank you and how do you mix and apply it? do you use a bottom, brush or hand?
 
I would like to join too and i know i'm a lil late but i won't be using any special oils on my scalp. I prefer to use vitamins as my growth aid for now. Is that ok?

I'm new at using MN and actually last week I was reading another thread (forgot which one exactly) and saw your hair pictures and that you've been using MN! And I was like OMG! OMG! I don't even know what this "MN" is, but I'm about to do this. So, you've actually been MY inspiration.

So, since I'm new at this, I don't know how much help I can be, as I'm still learning myself. Anyway, on Friday, I made my first batch:

1 tube of MN (from Wal-Mart ~ the Equate brand; Family Dollar wasn't open yet!)
Sulfur 8
Coconut Oil
Doo Groo Growth Oil

I did not do any specific measuring. But, I do use a relaxer brush to put the mixture on my scalp and then I just massage my scalp.

Next time, I'm going to add some essential oils for stimulation.

Anyway, I hope this newbie has been of some help.

And....happy growing! I am still so impressed with your growth, girl!

i use vatika (coconut) oil
 
Ladies!! i am soo mad i been using my mn mix every other day i left Georgia and is now back in New York for the summer. my hair is shedding like crazy i do not know if it is the instant change of weather but i know for sure it is not the mn :wallbash: i am P.O. i am off to get a wash & set so will see if it tames the shedding....
 
I've been forgetting to check in, but I've been using my BT every day :yep: :grin:
 
I have been applying my MN mixture nightly. I have to go restock since i'm running low. I'm doing good at keeping this up daily.
 
just checking in. i've got a new set of cornrows that were tight on my scalp. im expecting loose braids by Sunday. im wondering if i should keep on stretching or perm my hair. i lost a lot of hair when i did my braids, but that's also due to the fact that i had to wash with gallons of water and didnt have my staple moisturizers so my hair was kinda dry. never mind, i just bought my staple so ima keep on stretching until my hair cries out. :)
 
Just checking in, applied my growth aid approx 3 hours ago after I did a co-wash, I meant to do a DC first, so I'll do it next wash.
 
I applied My Megatek mix today!
Im very excited i see lots of new growth!
I want to flat iron to see!
But im going to wait until July 4th to do that!
Maybe even longer...
I cant hold a press for nothing=Shrinkage with straight ends lol!
 
I would like to join you ladies. :grin:
I am currently using BT. At first I didn't use it right and I used too much and my hair was oily and flat that week lol. Now I part my hair in different areas and apply it to the parts, nape, and a little on my edges.
 
i had a terrible day with the BT today. i had to run around for about 2 hours when the sun was at its hottest today. my hair smelled so gross and when i got into my car, it kinda stunk up the place :nono: i cant stand the smell of hot sulpher :whyme: can anyone relate?

(and just a few minutes ago, i went and applied BT to my scalp. i aint stopping this growth cause of a lil stank:lachen:)

Welcome...I will add you. Please review the challenge rules:grin:
 
Checking In... Alternating between Gro-Aut and OCT. I think I've only missed two days so far. I am waiting for my De Louise Ayurveda Growth Elixir. I can't wait to try this :spinning:!!!!
 
I applied mine tonight as well. And u're right Mandy, very easy, but is very helpful. Its easier to do when u have others doing it with you.
 
Not sure if it's been a week yet, but just to check in, I am still using my concoction in my hair daily. I DC a minimum of 3 times a week, and then do an ACV rinse, apply a leave in and then use my concoction on my scalp. I was going to get braids, but was told not to, so instead, I'm encouraging my hair other ways!
 
im going strong. i think it's become more of a habit for me now, i dont even think twice about applying it daily. i really want the growth elixir. . .
 
I was out of town yesterday, but I did use my growth aid yesterday and today :yep:
 
im going to make my mn mix tonight, i think im going to mix mn with hdrocortozone 1% and brahmi oil.

ill make a new album in my fotki and take my starting pic there

What does hydrocortizone do for the hair? I think it is for skin irritation or inflammation.
 
I mixed up another batch of MN/BT. My first batch was almost finished. This is a good sign that I am actually using it.
