Monistat... dare we start this again

**HeatherJenae** · June 26th, 2009, 06:45 PM

ROFL!!! What an awesome name for it! I will only refer to it as Cooter Cream from now on!

I actually convinced my brother to try Monistat on his head, although he laughed for ten minutes thinking it was a joke. He shaves his head now and says he'll try it in the fall so we can see a very clear and easy to measure result. And you know what just occurred to me? I am clearly slow in the head b/c I was thinking you had to use the cream on your whole head (like length and everything!), then the old lightbulb turned on. I might try it now!!! Cause before I thought it'd be way too expensive. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box!

Oh gosh no problem at all. Just apply to the scalp and dilute it if you want. Check out post 915 in this thread -- I wrote down my method right after I did it.

Sounds as though I'd get even faster growth with that, and I could certainly do with it, being barely shoulder-length.

Hi, good morning. New to this so bear with me if I lose you.

I was wondering if you wear monistat 24/7. I'm growing my hair out from a pixie cut and would to see some length.

Maybe you're the purple one. I like purple!

Some are applying it in the evening (to the scalp either diluted a little or undiluted) and then washing the next morning. I generally try to leave it on at least overnight before my CO wash. Sometimes I go longer.... like now. I applied Friday morning and will probably CO wash tomorrow morning. It makes my roots look darker but not greasy. I do have fairly dry hair and scalp so I do not get the "greasies" some have talked about. I do dilute with about 45mls water and usually add a dash of jojoba and/or castor oil. I feel like it helps the miconazole dissolve more evenly in the water.

I took the coochie cream plunge last night. I got the generic 2% stuff and it was only about $4. I used ljkforu's method (pretty much) and left it on overnight. I hid it in my bedroom and haven't mentioned it to my mother and sister because they'll think I'm completely nuts. Well, they do anyway, but that's beside the point.

I guess I won't be able to use this afterall. I tried it for the first time a couple of nights ago. I used a very small amount (maybe half or third of a teaspoon), diluted. Didn't get coverage over my entire scalp, even. But woke up with a killer migraine. So I will stick to Megatek and essential oils.

That is funny!

My doctor says it is okay.

I've never had a headache from it so be cautious what it does to you personally.
