Hi All, I'm new to the boards. I've used MN since 9 January. I achieved 1" growth in 2 1/2 weeks. I've had trims since then. I still use it but only about once a week and it does make my hair grow faster than it normally would. From September through to December, my hair grew less than this - so for 21/2 weeks that was great results.
Because of the cost, I use it diluted with Castor Oil and a few other oils, but the fastest growth I achieved was using full strength, undiluted on wet hair.

Has anyone used the 2% MN spray with success? I want to know if it is as safe as the cremes. I shook some up and sprayed it (on my hand). It felt cold.

Okay...this says TING AF Antifungal Spray Powder. Compare to Lotrimin Spray Powder. Has 2% Miconazole Nitrate. Cures Athlete's foot and jock itch. Got from Fam Dollar.

Lol - you're entitled to your opinion. Personally I would never put Onions on my scalp like some women do (stimulates growth apparently) - but Vaginal cream ? I figure if I can put it THERE (if needed), then my head is fine. The same solution is used to treat oral yeast infections in babies
MN works for me, so I love it !

Well, maybe you've always been fortunate.
You are so lucky to have such beautiful and long hair.
*It's just different things for different people...huh?

Not everything is for every body. I think what scares people is the word vaginal. it being the most sensitive part of out bodies anything made for it is less dangerous than anything we use in our hair. ie the Perm.

I was thinking the exact same thing.
It may sound weird to some, but I'm just grateful that it works for me.

some folks act like vaginal cream is actually made from VAGINAS...it ain't. it contains ingredients that are used in other things you never think about but would use in a second. Certain ingredients are used in different ways all the time...if you found out today that vaginal cream was used in your favorite relaxer, or S-Curl, or NTM or CON, whateva, bet some of y'all who swear up and down 'bout what you ain't gonna put in your hair would be the first ones shutting the heck up and continuing to use your precious products, vaginal cream and all.

I use MN myself only because I did a research on it first. I learned that MN is a treatment for fungus and since dandruff is a fungus of the scalp, I have no problems using MN to kill the dandruff on my scalp andif that was the only benefit, I would still be fine with it. But if it helps with hair growth, then it's just a double benefit for me IMO.

FYI: Here's some information on MN I found on associatedcontent.com:-
Here's why anti-fungal cream might work to give you faster hair growth. The main ingredient in Monistat Vaginal Cream is Miconazole Nitrate. It's a synthetic antifungal used to stop fungus. It can work to promote hair growth because its oxidizing agents provide oxygen for the scalp allowing it to "breathe" and promote a healthy growing environment. Other antifungal creams have been used for years to treat dandruff and some have reported that it has sped up their hair growth at the same time.
There's no need to worry about the safety of using Monistat on the scalp. If it's safe enough to use to treat a yeast infection in the vagina, one of the most sensitive places on a woman's body, it's safe enough to try on the scalp. The question is, will it speed up your hair growth or be a waste of money? Each person is different so you would have to try it for yourself.
There have been some reported mild side effects, mainly headaches, if the Monistat is applied directly to the scalp without diluting it in a carrier oil such as olive oil, castor oil or jojoba oil. Mix the Monistat, or another brand of vaginal cream containing miconazole nitrate, with a carrier oil and follow up with a moisturizer to provide the moisture you need to comfortably apply the cream to your scalp.
There will always be some that argue against using miconazole nitrate on the scalp and in hair products because they claim that it doesn't work and that it's a waste of money. And some will turn their noses up at the idea of using Monistat Vaginal Cream on the scalp. It might just be worth a try though as some people say that it has worked for them.

Here is some more info I found on MN on www.womanhairgrowth.com:-
Miconazole nitrate hair growth
Miconazole nitrate is one kind of a synthetic antifungal. It inhibits the growth of common dermatophytes and is generally suggested for the treatment of certain fungal infections of mucus membranes in the body. In other words it is a good cream that is used against fungus. All nitrates are good oxidizing agents. Hence miconazole nitrate hair growth includes the procedure of providing oxygen for the hair when used in the process of hair restoration and hair growth.
Many believe that miconazole nitrate is not a good ingredient in hair growth products. However time and again it has been mentioned that different people have different kinds of reasons for their hair loss and only the correct study of their hair and their reason can give the correct remedy. Many people against the miconazole nitrate in their hair growth process are against it either because they have used it without proper medical advice.
Also important point to be noted is that miconazole nitrate hair growth is a process that is gaining importance very slowly when compared to other procedures. We need to understand that there are still experiments going on to find how miconazole nitrate can provide enough support to hair growth. Also the process of experimentation is also being used to find what other ingredients can gel with miconazole nitrate to give the hair the required growth while also maintaining the health of the woman who uses the product or products.
Miconazole nitrate is also used as an anti-fungal medicine on the human body especially for woman. It helps cure certain skin fungi around the vagina. This is also the reason why miconazole nitrate is infamous. Many people believe that this is a skin treatment medicine not as hair treatment medicine. Also miconazole nitrate is said to dry the skin wherever it is used and hence people would like to see how this ingredient can keep the moisture that is one of the key factors of having a healthy hair. Of course, it has worked better for people with oily skin more than those with dry hair.
However there are different kind of people who have used miconazole nitrate and from then on enjoying the results of hair growth. Monistat is a famous miconazole nitrate that has been used as a perfect cure for yeast infection on vagina. However it is only very recently that miconazole can be applied for hair as it helps hair growth. Some also believe that after application of miconazole nitrate, they have found certain increase in the growth of the hair around the vagina and this lead to the experimentation with it for hair growth. This has been the same with Rogaine, though the authenticity of this story needs to be checked for miconazole nitrate.
Miconazole nitrate is recently being discussed either in forums or in the manufacturers of hair growth products. Hence it is going to take some time to find more about miconazole nitrate hair growth.

So am I.
Some of the so-called weird things are what really work.
I've seen results with MN. My theory is don't knock it til' you've tried it.
Some people use products which contain urine (called ~urea), but it's disguised in the ingredients as another name. At least with MN you know what you are mixing in your product and can decide for yourself if it's for you.
