Along with the bolded, you forgot to say your hair seems to be loving it too! Gurlie you got some fantastic growth!!! I just started using this myself, so hopefully I get enough NG using this method and I may just go 'head and chop my texturized ends off sooner than I think! Keep up the great work!

Your progress is amazing Caramel Diva. I hate jumping on bandwagons but these progress pics are really tempting me.

GIRL PULEEZ, IT IS MADE TO LITERALLY BE PUT INSIDE YA. WHAT HARMS IT GONNA DO ON YOUR SCALP THAT IT WON'T DO DOWN YONDER??

That's funny

My sister is approaching her second trimester of pregnancy, and will be relaxing soon I think. I wonder if MN is safe to use now, or should she wait until she relaxes???

I'd advise her not to, until the baby was born. We (and I say we, cuz I use it too) dont know the long term affects. My health one thing, baby's health another. Some women say it gave them headaches... how's a fetus going to communicate that?

My guess is that someone with some fungal rash (eg ringworm) figured that a fungal treatment like Monistat could cure the rash on their head and tried it. It worked but besides curing the rash came the the bonus of the lost hair growing back - because the rash that was causing hairloss was gone. And then the theory that Monistat can grow hair was born. *shrug*

BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I love u nonie!

your hair progress is amazing, an so pretty. Last night I mixed up my two tubes of MN but I mixed it with so much other stuff that I may have diluted the effective, you thread makes me think I need to start over just add and little oil to it next time

Btw I really didnt mean to sound mean (but I think I did)

I was planning on getting the Dollar General brand coochie cream and trying it out, but Im going to be realistic about the results and just wait and see, because sometimes when I read these success stories I cant help but feel like someone is pulling my leg. By pulling my leg I mean Shima business... Like paintbrush and pig doo doo and all that mumbo jumbo kinda business. I just hate reading how someone got an inch overnight or went from balding to a full head of hair in a week... because its just impossible.

you're like me. its not too much the fact that i think someone is bulldoo-dooing me, i just want to see someone start their progress from a FRESH RELAXER, use the MN or whatever its called, and then post the progress pictures. theres no way for us to really tell how much growth you have when you start from 2 and 3 weeks post relaxer and claim that its all MN. its hard cause we dont know how much growth you usually get or how fast your hair grows in the first place. we dont know know whats in your diet or what else you do (exercising) that may actually aiding your growth. maybe we should have one of those contests. we will have volunteers start putting MN on their scalp from a fresh touch up, then take pictures along the way to show the growth. anybody up for it? ...or do we already have one going on?

good point, i never though of it like that before. It is probably best to wait until the fresh relaxer to truly measure results.

I started using MN 3 days after my last relaxer, which was 12/19/07. Unfortunately, I did not take pics, but I have about an average of an inch of new growth on my head. The NG is longer than 1 inch in some parts of my head and shorter in others. Honestly, my hair tends to grow about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch a month without any growth aids. However, on the right side of my head, about halfway to 2/3 way back, I had a growth spurt immediately!

I must say that I almost stopped using the MN the 1st week b/c my scalp itched horribly. I have had psoriasis/exzema/Seborrheic Dermatitis since I was a teenager (I list them all because different dermatologists have given me different diagnoses over the years). At best, I would say that I have really bad dandruff and break out in dry patches around my hairline... I have tried everything including OTC shampoos, prescription shampoos, and topical creams prescribed by doctors.... BUT I can tell you nothing has worked like my MN concoction.... My scalp is clear!!! No patches, no dandruff, no dryness, no flakes!!!
Not to mention, my hair has grown!!! They say dandruff is a fungus in your head, and a naturopathic doctor once told me my eczema/dry patches were an overproduction of yeast in my body... Well, MN is for yeast infections and my eczema is gone. I am thinking about using it on a dry patch I have on my arm... Maybe the eczema/dry patches/dandruff/whatever was slowing down my growth and maybe the growth spurts will slow. I almost don't care. I don't have flakes and my My next relaxer won't be excruciatingly painful...

Oh well, this was REALLY long. I'll keep you posted. I'm not one for pics, but maybe I'll start documenting my progress...

HTH.

I started MN 3 days ago 1/15/08 and my scalp itches horribly...I knew it had to be MN cos thats the only thing diff than what i normally do....glad to know im not the only one and it will eventually subside...i will try to stick it out...

 

[mzhotniz86]

i think i'll do my own lil 'test' . after i get my touch up , im gonna start using mn on my edges and documenting it. my hairline is thin is certain spots, so hopefully I will see some sort of difference. i'll probably mix it with castor oil and im gonna take pictures too. i wanna get to the bottom of this!

 

[**Glamourlicious**]

My itches with MN have not stopped. Mine itches all the time. I added more oil to it last night and put it in an applicator bottle...but mine is STIOLL itching.

Funny thing is, the parts of my scalp that itched the most have the longest NG...erplexed Maybe it what I was feeling was due to the growth spurt???

Anyway, I'm not itching much anymore. I tweaked the recipe of my first batch and added the Vatika coconut oil and amla oil (both from my Indian grocery). That may have helped...

HTH

I agree that she should wait until the baby is born
Using MN for yeasts infections during pregnancy is highly watched by doctors too, so I think it's best to wait.

I've known about Monistat since I've joined LHCF, but I going to finally give it a try.

My hair has been coming out in the crown area for years, and that area has always been tender to the touch. For the past 2 yrs I've had uncontrollable dandruff. I thought that it was from detoxing my body, but I now realize that is could be something more. I know that detoxing alone will heal my scalp, but I want quicker results, because I'm tired of my hair coming out in the crown area. If my hair wasn't coming out in the crown area it would be very long, but every couple of months, I have to cut the sides and the back of my hair to even up with the crown. If I didn't do this, the shape of my hair would look like a complete mess.




After reading this entire thread, I think that I will try Neosporin AF instead.

 

[OrangeMoon]

This is the first time getting the itches using MN...I mean it's like non-stop but, I'm staying strong hopefully I can make it to APL by the end of March. It's seems like I'm there but I'm going to give it some more time.

 

[Misshairdiva]

Just a thought....
Maybe someone will be bold enough to put it on only one side of their head... and then you would REALLY know if it works if the other side is longer or not???
Any takers for that challange?
(not doing it myself, just waiting for someone else to try it!)

 

[LuyshuZ]

I have been using terconazole 0.4% for about two weeks now on and off(Ill be applying eod from now on). My hair is definately thicker, Ill start documenting growth as of now. I have no itching at all, I actually used to have mild dandruff and its gone

 

[autumnbeauty29]

I use Miconazole (the off brand) and this is my second tube and I have seen results. I mix it with a jar of Afrtica's Best super gro, a TB of castor and a TB of Amla. When I used it alone I had too much dryness for my liking. I will keep on with the off brand (other is too expensive)

 

[Priss Pot]

MN really works!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jshug]

Ok I read the threads about the MN yesterday and decided to give it a try. I mixed MN,coconut oil,EVOO, sulfa 8 castor oil and a few drops of peppermint oil. Ok...can you say GREASE HEAD!!!! I couldn't do anything but pull my hair back in a bun. Although I liked the cool tingling, lol. I'm going to continue using it... and hopefully get my grow on.

You ladies never cease to amaze me! I never thought about using Monistat on my scalp. I've been dealing with itchy scalp for a while and I started a using a Sulfur 8 mix a little over a week ago. I started noticing a little NG but I'm curious about the MN.

Has anyone tried it with Sulfur 8 or do you think it may cause a problem? I realy want to "kick-start" growth at my nape. I had severe breakage there a few month ago (it looks like it was shaved). I also have a bald spot near in my crown (I noticed this after I removed my sew-in weave on January 5).

I've used it with sulfur 8 and have gotten good results. I am using it straight right now because I am too lazy to mix it.

Thank you! I bought a tube of 4% MN and mixed in with my Sulfur 8 mixture. I may need to buy another tube because I had so many ingredients in my S8 mix already. I can't wait to see if this works for me.
