I just picked up my MN (Monistat 7) from Family Dollar for $7.50. Right now, i'm thinking of applying it directly and spraying my NG passed the Demarcation line for added moisture to prevent severe drying and breakage.
What is your current length? SL
How long have you used in MN? Just starting today [5/4/12]!
How will you use your MN (directly/mixed)? Directly initially.
What frequency will you apply it? Bi-Weekly.
Any other growth aids that you are using? MSM & Biotin.
Anything else you care to add: Line 4 on my Length Check shirt is APL, which is my goal by 12/12. My hair currently stretches at Line 3.

Right now, I'm using Target brand MN 2% mixed with jbco, jojoba oil, ayurvedic oils, a few drops of peppermint and rosemary oils. I will buy some Monistat and use that next time diluted with a little jojoba oil and jbco.

I know what you mean, my 1st bath of mn had a ton of oils and moisturizers ... Made me feel sticky all the time. Now all I add is water to make it last and probably 5 drops of an essential oil.

I usually separate my hair in sections going from right to left ... Umm like I was going to do cornrows.... Dip fingers in my mix/ apply with application bottle and massage in.

NikkiQ,
I make 1" parts, apply MN, moisturize and seal. I repeat this until I've covered my entire scalp, then massage it. I don't know how I'm going to apply it deep in my stretch. I'm almost 8 weeks post and doing it this way will become a challenge. I just started MN today so I'm sure I'll tweak my application soon.

I used it also....thats what I used on my 1st batch.
IDK why I thought every FD had it for $5.50, thats what I paid for mines. I think they may have went up or something because back in the day when MN first came to the hair board everyone was getting it for $5. I guess since its still $5.50 for me I should go get like 2 more tubes.
I only apply in to my edges when I am not in my braids.
Heck this is even better than FD, hmmm gotta get me some from Target then.

I've never took a break for my cycle. Does MN give you headaches on its own?

I had mine in an applicator bottle from Sallys with some oils and mtg. At first it was too oily so I added more mtg. Too much was still coming out so now I squeeze some out in a top and use a small makeup brush to apply directly to my scalp. Oh and can I say I finally bought some Wave Nouveau and I put that on my hair first with my fingers then the mn mix and my ng was wonderfully soft and the mn didn't dry it out.

I have two strand twists, I just rub it in through my hair parts.I pour a bit in my palm, put it on my finger tips and rub it in. Not the neatest person lol. However, because i have it mixed with oil it sorta spreads through. I massage in for a minute or so.
Others have used application bottles, especially those with cornrows.

Hello,
I have been unofficially participating in this challenge. I have been using monistat for 7 days. I feel that I have had growth.
Lastnight I dyed two small sections of my hair on either side. And I will give an update in 30 days or when I have reached an inch of new growth, whichever comes first.

Just curious.....I have been on the fence on what to use to remove this permanent color from my hair. What did u use to achieve that patch shown? tiaHello,

I applied my MN mix after i rinsed out my deep conditioner, about an hour ago. My Hair and scalp feels good right now...I'm hoping on July 1st when i take my new pics i will see some nice growth...I'm not sure how to measure my typical monthly growth, but i feel like im a slow grower....Thankfully i have been getting a more solid regimine since i found out that im low porosity.

Intially I wanted to get a color lifter from sally's. This is used to strip color so that a new color can be applied. You buy a lift powder and then a developer. However, I waited to late last night, sally's was closed and I was too impatient. I bought a regular blond hair dye, a black hair company kind. And I mixed a small amount of it as though I were doing a patch test and just appplied it to two parts of my head at the root.

xu93texas what is jbco? NikkiQ since I'm a sahm I keep my hair in 4 bantu(sp?) knots, moisturize my NG in the am, and in the evening take one at a time down, make a few parts and rub it into my scalp and then redo to knots...when I'm abou to go out I do a messy bun with a headband...so boring Loverain good idea and nice color, that gives you an accurate way to judge if the man is working and how well shortdub78 maybe you could cut back the amount of times you apply a week
MJ checking in...about to apply my MN mix, I'm almost don't with this batch...next Batch I'm going to mix it with some doo grow and sulfer8 grease, while I don't like the gunky feeling of the grease on my scalp I hated having the mn mixed with oils, got everywhere, running down my neck and forehead... I'm also going to prepoo overnight tonight and wash in the am after I take my mini to daycare
