Miconazole Nitrate

[Faith]

Well I jumped on the wagon. Is the tingling sensation/itchies a good thing??? I ask because I had those within 3-5 minutes of applying it. And it lasts about 2-3 hours after applying...

I mixed the MN 2% (15g tube) with MegaTek (which I have been seeing some growth from using...hm) and some water and a bit of oil in an old WGO bottle (with spout). I apply that to my scalp. I would love to get 1" or more a month considering around the summer I usually get 1" every 3 months that would be GREAT

I AM 15 DAYS POST RELAXER AND HAVE BEEN USING MN/CAYENNE OIL/HYDROCORISONE AND MTG EVERY OTHER DAY FOR 14 DAYS. HERE IS A GROWTH PIC I TOOK THIS MORNING.

NICE! Does your hair usually grow this fast?

 

[LaNecia]

I think one of the ingredients in the La India creme is something sulfate. Is that the ingredient that supposedly aids in growth?

That is the same understanding I have! Maybe we have to ask the La India Specialist! Where is she anyway!!

I'm alittle late to this craze but I want to give it a shot! The thread is kind of lengthy so I just wanted to you all instead. What products are you ladies exactly to achieve your hair growth? I just peeked at VWVixxen's album and her hair growing like a weed! Hope you ladies can help me out! :O)

Same here...I am a little over 2 weeks getting a touch up and it looks like I need a touch up now...especially in the back of my head. It's so thick I can barely comb thru it. I don't know how I am going to make it for the next 6 weeks. I only use it once a day...usually at nite. Is it me or just my imagination...do I detect a slight smell? It's not unbearable or anything ...it's just every now and then I get a whiff of something unfamilar. Also I have to wash my hair like every 3 days cuz my hair does get sticky even tho I try to put it on my scalp only. I ain't complaining cuz this beats the horrible smell of that MTG!

 

[myoung]

Yes ma'am! I have some La India Creme, capzacin and a small amount of cortisone cream. The cortisone cream is supposed to stall the itchies...I wonder if that's why I haven't had any. I dont' have a sore scalp either...

I'm applying mine twice a day on most days though if I'm lazy, then once a day.

I may have to try this......thanks for the recommendation.

Your hair looks nice.

Neosporin AF or Monistat. anything with Miconazole Nitrate 2% or 4% does the trick. U can get it from walmart, walgreens, cvs, rite aid etc.... I stocked up from ebay with 1.77 one ounce tubes. I put it on there at least once a day.

 

[EMJazzy]

Since I don't have a perm to measure my growth while using the MN mixture and the MTG I measured my twists just now and I'll check again in 30 days to try and get an accurate measure of new growth....I can not WAIT til the no heat challenge is over I am dying to use my new maxiglide The measurements is in my siggy!

 

[TwistNMx]

BTW...I just did my first application of Neosporin AF tonight. It didn't tingle at all though so I'm not sure if I applied enough . Anyway I can't wait for a month from now to see how much growth I have.

I've been using this stuff all week. My scalp tingles so I guess it depends upon the sensitivity. I wash my hair every 3 days though. Another thing, if you love the tingle effect, mix a drop or two of peppermint oil. That will do the trick. It also adds extra stimulation. I did this today.

reposts:
Guys, now that I have proved that it works, I am going to chill out on the MN use. I love the growth, but it is too fast for me right now because I need touchups WAY too soon. My hair is not healthy enough to get touchups that often and not long enough for many of the protective styles that help maintain new growth.

Miconazole Nitrate is making it IMPOSSIBLE for me to stretch so I am going to chill for a bit and concentrate on the health of my hair then pick it back up in a few months.

Happy Growing!!

I think for easier application i'm going to mix mine w/my WGO. For the ladies that mix it w/their WGO do you still get the tingling and such?

I mix mine with peppermint oil and my hair just tingles all day.
I tried the WGO a few years ago and it gave a very unclean smell. Maybe they have a new and improved version...hum.

Yes. My aunt told me how pretty my hair was and then asked me if it was time to wash my hair because it smelled funny. I just washed my hair like 3 days ago! I definitely can't go 3-5 days without washing my hair. I will wash every 3 days faithfully.

Guys, I am not going to be using MN for the time being, but before I decided to stop, I had ordered Remedy Antifungal Cream with Olivamine from Walgreens.com for $13.49. I just got it today.

It is a nice 4 oz. tube and it smells really good.

Anyway, it will be a while before I try it, but thought I would share.

Also VWVixxen, I think you suggested using Flexible Spending Accounts for this. I tried it and got a direct deposit for the MN that I bought. Faxed my receipts and it was all good. Thanks for suggested that.

 

[MrsQueeny]

Okay I finally got some today. They had the MN on the aisle with condoms and this guy was there. I walked past it like 5 times and finally went and got some other stuff and came back. I got the equate brand 2% a little over 1.5 oz for about $5. I also picked up some equate hydrocortisone 2 oz for about $4. I think I am going to mix both and add a little oil. I will update you guys on my progress.

 

[morehairplease]

Wow! I hadn't even seen anything about getting MN from Nurtricraze. I checked it out and I can get 3 tubes for just about the same price as 1 tube of Neo from Walgreens--and that is including shipping!

I may have to try them out...

can't get the link to work.....will try later.

ETA: it's still not working. does anyone remember how much they were on this site by chance?

tia ladies,

Ya know what tishee? I went back to that site and I misread it---it is not that great of a deal. I thought it was no shipping--but it is $5.95. It was $2 and some change for a tube.

That's awesome! You're very welcome! (I can't take all the credit because some else mentioned it too!).

I measured my hair last night and it was a 5/8 of an inch longer. Is this stuff suppose to work this fast. I've only been using it for like 8 days. But I may be getting one of my growth spurts too. Since the weather is warming up. I will check at the three week mark and get back with you.

It does work abnormally fast. So fast its kinda scary even. But it may be the Mn plus any normal grwoth spurt that you have.

I picked up some Neosporin AF at Walmart today. Wish me luck!

OK, I just applied it. I used it straight out the tube, parting in small sections. That little behind tube! I may have to try another brand with my big behind head. Or I may try the Walmart brand of clotrimazole. I've been reading up on the difference between miconazole and clotrimazole and I think they are pretty much the same. Anyway, I took pics so I can compare my progress. Happy Hair Growing!!!

If you don't mind ordering online, you should try Remedy Antifungal cream. It's 4 ounces and a little goes a long way compared to the Neosporin AF. Plus the other ingredients are better. Walgreens has it.

I went to Walgreens yesterday trying to find that brand and they didn't have it so I guess I'll have to order it online. To keep from wasting a trip I purchased their brand of MN it was $8.99 for a 1.59oz tube.

Update:

I've been mixing MN 4% and 2% with Surge for about a month now, and I have a lot of new growth.

I'm 9 weeks past relaxer now and the new growth is tightly coiled, so it's tough to gauge the actual length. I'll get a touch up soon and continue this all summer to get back to bra strap length.

Not suggesting that anyone else dump Neosporin and/or Monistat in their Surge. Not suggesting that at all.

Would this be Surge Plus 14 or Wojee ?
