Don't worry, I didn't know either. MTG stands for
mane, tail and Groom. It is a product for horses that some people use on their hair. Supposedly it promotes growth. I have been thinking about giving it a try. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

I thought the same thing. I decided to give it a try because the some girls have gotten significant growth. I have been only using it for a month. I have gotten a little bit of growth. It is has it down sides. For one it smells horrible and it is so runny. I definetely learned a little bit goes a long way. ------------- First Goal-Full SL Second Goal- Full APL Final Goal-Any length beyond is all gravy http://public.fotki.com/mercedes826/ |

Mercedes826, do you think its been worth the down sides? I have been thinking about ordering one of the trial size bottles and giving it a try. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

I think so. I use it twice a week. I also started with the trial size. It would defenitely be a good idea to get the trial size because I've read some girls have had sensitive scalp when using the product. If you do get it make sure to use it at night because the smell dies down in the morning. ------------- First Goal-Full SL Second Goal- Full APL Final Goal-Any length beyond is all gravy http://public.fotki.com/mercedes826/ |

Thanks for the advice, I will go online tomorrow as soon as I get paid. (I'm such a PJ  ) Do you mind telling me exactly how you use it? I know you said a little goes a long way, do you just apply it to the scalp?------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

You can part your hair in sections. Then massage it into the scalp so it can be distribute evenly throughout the scalp. Watch out because when it begins to run you might want to carry around some tissue or paper towels. But like I said do it at night when you don't have much going on. ------------- First Goal-Full SL Second Goal- Full APL Final Goal-Any length beyond is all gravy http://public.fotki.com/mercedes826/ |

LOL, that was my expression at first too. Acturally, it was originally created by a barber. But now it's marketed for horses.
Since many are seeing a lot of new growth from this, the Mane N Tail people are going to start marketing it for people again. ------------- Hair Type- 4a/b *transitioning front of my head* Length-ranges from 5-7 inches =) Products- Garnier Fructis S & S Poo, Lustrasilk Shea Butter Mango Conditioner and Cantu-Leave in =) |

Thanks Mercedes! The PJ in me could not resist, as soon as I got to work I logged onto my computer and ordered the trial size. This is a stupid question, but non-the-less how do you wear your hair while you are using this? I have two protective styles that wear, one of them being a roller set. Does it matter the style that you where your hair in while you are using this? ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

About how much peppermint oil do you use? Do you put it in the trial size or the big size. ------------- First Goal-Full SL Second Goal- Full APL Final Goal-Any length beyond is all gravy http://public.fotki.com/mercedes826/ |

Mercedes: Are you having problems with gray hair due to using MTG? I just noticed the MTG thread and some ladies are saying its giving them gray hairs. I know everybody is different, just wondering...  cause I just bought a BIG bottle.------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/">

how long have you been using it for?
and what is your routine for application. how many times a week etc.
Do you add it after washings only? ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Kell1e/ Transitioning since Aug 06 Last Relaxer Apr 06 |
