How I Make My MN Mix (VIDEO)

After receiving a lot of questions about my MN mix I decided to make a video showing exactly how I make my MN mix. I now use Sulfur 8 in my mix instead of Cantu Shea Butter. I've discontinued the use of that product completely, especially after the company sent out emails saying the product can in fact HINDER hair growth. I'd rather be safe than sorry. The products my MN mix now consists of is

• Sulfur 8 "Grease"
• Tea Tree Oil
• Monistat 7

ENJOY. If you have any questions feel free to ask. .

Kara's Hair Update/ Reggie & Length Check

After trim 

May 1, 2012

Length Check - PAST BSL

2 Weeks ago, I removed my first sew in weave and dyed my hair back to black. I got tired of the highlights. My new regimen consists of washing my hair bi-weekly with Nuetrogena's Triple Moisture shampoo, and deep conditioning with Ausie's 3 minute miracle. Then, I straighten my hair. I oil my hair with Fantasia's pm oil spray nightly then, wrap. I've been using Extra virgin coconut oil as well, and I must say this is a staple product. My hair doesn't need a lot of moisture so my regimen isn't centered around it. My goal for the year is MBL.

MN(Miconazole Nitrate) Growth Update (PICS)

As you all know my current growth aid of choice is a Miconazole Nitrate mix. 

(Read original post and update HERE)

I'm out of my sew in a lot earlier than I expected, while I had it installed I applied my MN mix every night. I was convinced I hadn't had any growth so out of curiosity I decided to do a length check......and I did........... I was all like .....

                                    

**CLICK PHOTOS TO ENLARGE**

My mouth flew open because as I said before, I was almost certain I hadn't received any noticeable amount of growth, guess I was wrong. I surpassed my "September" goal which I'm excited about.

Well, that's all I just wanted to give a brief update and share my progress thus far....thanks for reading.

This section allows you to interact with other readers, ask questions, answer questions, start "challenges", give reviews, share your experiences, request tutorials, and much more. It can be used the same way a forum is. You can sign in as a guest with a screen name, or with your facebook and twitter name. You can also remain anonymous.

Misha's Hair Update/ NEW REGIMEN W/ PICS

I've changed my regimen so I thought I'd fill you in as well as give you an update about my hair in general.I got a full sew in last week for my protective style with a silk base closure. Before I got the install I did a hard protein treatment and deep conditioned over night. This was the first weave I've had since January. I've found since my hair has grown it's harder to keep it off my shoulders. My WNG's hang and I'm always paranoid about retention. The last week before I got my sew in I was wearing gala with my hair braided underneath ( see review Here). I figured I'd wear it like that to cut out the tangling because it was ridiculous. I'm still in search of a good detangler because the knots are kind of outrageous. But, I was practicing low manipulation, only actually "combing" it once a week on wash days the rest of the week finger combing. My regimen has changed and I've updated it ( HERE).I came to a realization that my deep conditioner didn't work and I asked myself why I was still using it, and stopped. I found it was more protein based and it was throwing my balance off. Now I've been using SUAVE professionals almond and shea butter conditioner as my deep conditioner, it's cheap and it does the job surprisingly better than expensive ones MEANT for deep conditioning.  

I've currently been using a homemade MN (Miconazole Nitrate) mix which has been working great. Hopefully since I'll be weaved up all summer I'll retain 100% of the growth. My moisturizer of choice has been CANTU SHEA BUTTER LEAVE IN CONDITIONER, I've been sealing with EVOO and castor oil every other night.

Banded and blow dried hair(left) keep in mind the roots aren't straight. My August goal was originally my  January goal, looks like I'll be maker it way sooner than January :)

I don't have any updated length shots aside from the ones I took in February and my MN ones because I never really use heat. I did try banding , ( which I really like).I blow dried it last month but these shots aren't really showing length, just thickness because the roots are not straight. I don't plan on getting my hair straightened until the end of August or beginning of September.When this MN mix is gone I'll be switching up using my Sulfur Mix. I like to rotate my growth aides every 3 months. If my calculations are correct I should be grazing BSL by then, that's if I don't let someone (CUT whoops I mean trim my hair, would of been there a long time ago -_-) In February my hair was back to length it was in September before it got "trimmed/ cut". Don't you just hate setbacks? I plan on keeping my sew in for 8 weeks then after that, I'll be letting it rest two weeks and weaving it back up again, I'll take pictures of my hair after the take down though. I'm needing some color in my life I'm thinking of dying my real hair bright red and jet black when the summer is over, hmmm...well, that's it for now HHJ.

MISHA'S HAIR REGIMEN (UPDATED May 2012)

DAILY-  

I moisturize every night.

I seal every other night alternating between olive oil and a castor oil mix

I baggy about once a week (when I'm not wearing a weave)

I use my mn mix every other night.

Co-Washing has been eliminated for the time being, it's too much manipulation and tangling, I may resume when it gets warmer.

I detangle with OILS.

I wash my hair with CREME OF NATURE kiwi & citrus moisturizing shampoo.

I condition first with GARLIC conditioner.

DEEP condition with Suave Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner & Olive oil 

Detangle with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Mask.

I use Cantu Shea Butter & Chi Keratin Mist as my leave in conditioner.

MONTHLY- Every 6-8 weeks I do a protein treatment using either APOHGEE or one raw egg mixed with conditioner. Since I'm using growth aids I clarify 1-2x a month with ORS creamy aloe neutralizing shampoo.

VITAMINS & OTHER:

I drink water daily.

Scalp massages
