All Finished

With using MN that is.  I finished my last bit yesterday, and I've been using it consistently since December 2011. Since my first mix, I went to a more potent option with 3 oz of castor oil + the same amount of MN. I have been applying it to my scalp daily.

I am scheduled to relax my hair in two weeks, so I wanted to be sure to stop using MN at this point. I want to give my scalp a chance to rest because I still don't know what the implications of mixing MN + relaxer are, and I have no intentions of finding out.

I am curious to see if I have experienced accelerated growth as a result of using MN. If I decide to use it again, I don't plan to do so until the end of this year. I don't really want to become dependent on a growth aid to reach my length goals, so I told myself that I would only use it between relaxers, once per year (the same way I did it this time).

I'm planning to do a length check after my next relaxer, so at that point I'll assess whether or not I experienced better growth.

    1. Thanks Shika - it's good to know that I'm not crazy in terms of wanting to use it, but only on a limited basis!!! HHJ

  2. I'm super some-timesy with my GA. I have been consistent since my "trim" but am away for the weekend so I haven't used it since Thursday. The one time I was REALLY consistent, I had increased growth. I'm bad with my vitamins too. *hangs head in shame*

    1. LOL - it's all good Ms. ECP! The nice things is, we get growth without the aid, so the GA is an added bonus. So if we're not consistent, fortunately our hair will still grow :-) HHG!
