Re: Monistat... dare we start this again
Pleased with my results with Monistat . Been using it since last summer . I cut it last January to shoulder and now it's down to bsl. I have fast growing hair any way, but very pleased . It's been helping my scalp, dandruff, and my shedding is decreased. Love it.

Great! Have you tracked your measurements? I’d love to see a chart?
I have to agree on the shedding. I usually loose HANDFULS of hair in the shower. Literally handfuls. I can’t even express how disconcerting it’s been over the last few months. I started MN 6 days ago. Today when I showered I lost maybe 10 hairs. MAYBE 10. For that alone, if it keeps up the reduced shedding, it’ll be worth it.
Re: Monistat... dare we start this again
I didn't do a chart with mine, not sure how to. Made a length t shirt. My hair is wavy and curly so it's hard to measure. Don't have a camera so can't take a picture. I can get a pretty rough idea by looking at the shirt . Not 100% but close. As far as the shedding goes, I was the same way. Before I started the Monistat it was scary the amount of hair in the drain .

Today I tried diluting with water and applying with a syringe (the sort one uses for baby medicine), I think I prefer just rubbing the cream into my scalp but I think I used too much water.

A syringe sounds like it would take forever! I use an empty dye bottle, works great for me. I tried it with my fingers, but I felt like it was a tad too messy for my taste.

I prefer using just the cream on my scalp too.
However I haven’t diluted it this time around, so the nitrate really does open my blood vessels and I get a slight headache. I think I’m gotten used to it because they seem to have gone away this time around
Re: Monistat... dare we start this again
I have been using it since late December. I use it straight from the tube twice a week. The night before wash day. The first couple times I did experience a pressure on my head. But now I don’t feel anything at all. I am not really doing for length. I’m doing it for thickness. Over the years my hair had thinned out a lot on top. I’m pleased to say that it has filled out so much! I don’t know why it works or what. But I don’t care. I will keep using it. I have tried countless other things. This is what worked. This did the trick.

Thanks for sharing, this is exactly what I'm using it for. It's nice to hear its working for you.

Could you please share the link where you found the 4%. I've been looking on eBay and can only find 2%.
Re: Monistat... dare we start this again
The amount of shedding that has stopped since starting this is really amazing. I’d hoped it would work, but had my doubts. I have baby floofs EVERYWHERE. I don’t even mind it, since it signifies new growth!
