Monistat on hair?

[HAIRapy]

Okay everyone, I've heard people say so much on this subject, but I've never actually seen a poll on it or I may have missed it. Anyway, Do you put it in your hair? If so, what does it do for your hair? I mean, I know it is supposed to make it grow, but what in it makes it grow? Also, how do you apply it? Like a perm or something?

Hey, MtAiryHoney, it took me a while to get used to the search features as well. Here's a link with all the threads with Miconazole Nitrate in the topic. Enjoy!

I used it for a few days, but had to stop cause it gave me pretty bad headaches. I mixed it with Miracle 8 oil and put it on my scalp once a day

 

[SoOoNY]

I have been using it for exactly 2 weeks now and I can see results already. I haven't had a perm in 8 weeks so I am def due for one with all this new growth... I wont be getting one til Jan 4th tho. But I can tell its working... I mix it with Profective Growth oil and some BB Growth serum... (Can you tell I am trying to get some inches on my head)erplexed. Some poeple experience headaches... I havent had any... If not you can try MTG or BT... I am going to try those when my MN is done

 

[yodie]

Do u ladies use a specific brand to achieve growth?

I'm using 2% MN that I brought on ebay. going on my 2nd consistent week. I'm not noticing much.

I'm stretching and Im hoping to be able to hold out til January 5th which would make it a 3 month stretch.
OP, I use Dollar General's version of Monistat that has 2% of MN. I wasnt applying it consistently (some do it twice a day or every other day) but I've noticed more newgrownth than usual. I will really be able to tell the difference when I relax my hair. I mix my MN with some shea butter oil and apply it on my scalp and rub it in a bit.

 

[HoneyA]

No, I'm not going to try it. I don't put anything on my scalp except maybe oil and I haven't done that in a while.

ETA I don't use Monistat, but I use MN (neosporin AF)
I don't think anyone puts it in their hair.Have you heard of anybdody actually putting it on their hair?Hair grows from the scalp,so it wouldn't make any sense to intentionally apply it to the strands, unless you want your hair to dry out The little bit that did touch my root really made it dry, so I had to counter it. It works from using it on the scalp. I have used it twice and I stopped because my new growth was getting crazy. I am not claiming a miracle. My hair was already growing, and it definitely caused a spurt. I am currently debating on whether to try it again, or just throw it out.

 

[mrshicks2002]

I use the family dollar brand MN. I onced used the walmart generic brand and didnt see any results. I dont know whats in it that makes the hair grows and help to thicken it as well, but all I can say is take a look in my fotki to check out my results from using it.
http://public.fotki.com/mrshicks2002/mn-progress/

I mix mine with carrier and essential oil. I apply it to my scalp using a applicator bottle with the nozzle tip.

I know that some voted that they find it crazy to use, but IMO we never really know what we are using and all the ingredients thats in the products that we buy off the shelf. Some products that I have seen lately are using MN in there.

 

[Tamrin]

Wow nice progress. I have been using MN too. and for a few weeks now and i love the progress.

 

[angelface981]

newbie here...i would totally use this. the reviews for this are awesome!

I experienced headaches when I was using it ALONE. I now mix it with ORS Hair Fertilizer, 10 drops of peppermint oil, and 10 drops of rosemary extract and I don't experience headahces anymore. The growth I"m getting is amazing. I"m 4 weeks post and it feels like I'm 6 to 7 weeks post.

 

[HAIRapy]

Okay, I've decided that I'm gonna try it! I have to do a Poll thread first to find out which one everyone uses, the Monistat or Neosporin AF.

I have been using it for 3 weeks and my growth is disgusting... I have to put my hair in Bantu Knots for some type of cute style, cause my buns don't even stay in place. The middle of my hair is completely broken off from braids I put in over the summer and then permed it too soon... so my MN was a Godsend to make my hair retain some growth... I couldn't stand the lil choppy pieces sticking up. My edges have grown in... Ill have a progress pic in my fokti on the 20th

Mixing it with oils help the dryness, and it lets you oil ur scalp all at the time. Its great!

Darn! I keep hearing this MN is the bomb! I'm really going to go buy this stuff tomorrow. So, the Dollar brand works just as well, cause a girl like me (read: poor college girl) cannot afford $22 Monistat...I never realized how expensive it was!

Girl, I am in college too and I looked at the price and I was like I may not be able to go this... I am about to graduate and Sallie Mae is about to be on my ass... so I cant afford to pay 17.99 for a lil tube. Family Dollar has it for $5.19 here in Philly and it works better... I bought 3 for the price of one... I would rather be broke in Jan (my Grad date) and have a banging head of hair then being broke in Jan (its inevitable...lol) and be bald...

 

[Babydall818]

Wow...monistat...like seriously?

That is definately a new one for me? what is it ..2% of what that makes your hair grow?

 

[AgapeQueen]

I am using MTG right now...can I use MN and MTG?

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

Also, can you use mn up to the time you relax or do you have to stop a week beforehand like when you use sulfur?

 

[HoneyDew]

Wow...monistat...like seriously?

People use it for the active ingredient Miconazole nitrate. It, and other antifungals, can be found in other products, as well. There are just some that opt to use Monistat. Antifungals help with dandruff and scalp problems and it just so happens to speed growth in some.

ok i don't want to lock a thread so i deleted my post...

Hello Ladies,

I'm a newbie and I've read about the results from using MN. I'm going to Family Dollar today!

[aloof one]

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.

Canestan doesn't contain MN the active ingredient in that is clotrimazole. Daktarin which you can get from Boot/Superdrug (for UK Ladies) contains MN.

I have never really heard reviews like that. I realize you are exaggerating, but I really honestly never hear off the wall reviews.

I do hear of ladies getting 1 inch a month or so and I believe that you CAN get that. What I am skeptical about is that the faster growth can continue.

Are the growth enhancing products prolonging the growth cycle or simply helping you reach shedding periods just that much faster?

hi I know how skeptical you feel because I was the same way at first and then I was like well I have done worst to my hair so why not .. so I tried it and it has given me the most growth ever ever ..

 

[aloof one]

I dont get your last question, but I guess my second post doesnt make sense because I backspaced my first.

I am not saying the stuff doesnt work.

But I am saying some people on here like to get ahead of themselves and say they got growth after 2 nights, or that they notice changes in thickness after 5 days. But I wont call anyone out. I just think its silly to have comparison pics after one day of using something. I mean, you cant possibly see results that soon. I can honestly say my head was itching after a week of MTG, but taking pics of your ends and saying there is a difference after 2 days?? Some people are just anticipating growth so they think they see it..

I totally agree
