I know what you mean.

OMG, I used to have the same problem.  I especially had this problem if I applied hair lotion or leave-in conditioner to my hair before it would half dry....(still wet).

Buy yourself some: Nexxus Emergencee' and use a heat cap with it.  Worked wonders for me....but within a few weeks the shedding came back.

A more permanent solution for me was Mane 'n Tail's strengthening spray.  You can buy it at Sallys'.  I use that and MTG and since never experience this problem anymore.  It's been about a good month now.

Hi Kareflow.

I was wondering if your hair is relaxed or natural? It seems that everyone that has tryed this product has natural hair so no one with relaxed hair has given their story. I'm wondering if maybe relaxed hair would react negatively because of the chemicals. Thanks

Hi LatteTresses
Welcome to the board.

I like MTG.  The smell doesn't bother me.  I use it twice a week.  My special days are Thursday and Sunday.  I wash daily, but only use MTG on those special days.

My hair is natural.  I don't need to relax my 2B hair.

HTH,

CAUTION:  If used, you just might see new growth.

I can't believe the growth because I haven't even used it in 1 month yet.  I'll keep you informed.

 

Hello Hair Goddess,

I have heard many people complain of the smell of MTG. Do you mask the smell with another product? Also how often do you apply the MTG to your hair. Has it caused any adverse affects? Do you apply it to your hair or scalp? Finally do you have natural or relaxed hair. I ask this because I was wondering if it would cause breakage on relaxed hair because of the chemical base. Thanks Hun!

Which products are you using?  I'm looking at their website right now and I see so many products!  I'm assuming what you all are talking about is Original M-T-G.

     Shapley's Original M-T-G has proven results after just one application! Use as a leave-in conditioner/detangler and for promoting mane and tail hair growth.

     Original M-T-G's never-been-duplicated, versatile formula will be the best product you'll ever purchase! Available in 32.oz. and 6 oz. bottles. $16.95 for 32oz.
)& Natural Elegance (An intensive, therapeutic conditioner for skin, coat, manes and tails that has to be tried to be believed!

Hi Kbaby,

Have you used the Natural Elegance?  Can you tell me how it's worked for you?

Thanks

In comparison to other things I have tried, yes. I use both the shampoo and conditioner and what I find is I have less shedding and breakage so I retain more length. My hair feels alot stronger when I use it consistently. I have not use MTG yet, but I am extremely tempted to get it. Mane n Tail is one of my staple products now!!

As far as I know it is safe for humans. I've heard of very few having a reaction to it but majority have great results, as with any product.

I have seen other hair sites where there is thread after thread arguing about the use of this product. I work in an animal hospital and have asked the vets I work for about this product.Two women I work with have horses and they use it for their horse and for themselves. One of the women is in her 50s and has been using it for 30 years. She still has very thick healthy hair. The other women is in her 20s and has thick hair to her waist. They have seen no problems with it. The main ingredient is sulfur.

Another debate was the fact that it does not say it's for human use on the bottle. However, at the hospital I work for we use an antibiotic cream that doesn't say it's for human use, but it works better than neosporin in dogs and in humans. It's amazing how many things are interchangeable from humans to animals. All in all, I wouldn't mind trying it. I use Mane n' Tail and love it.

Hi Honeydoo,

Do you find fast growth rate with Mane 'n Tail?  I just bought some as I mentioned before this past weekend.
