I started about two weeks ago, using Daktarin. Every other day I make a mixture of Daktarin, demineralized water and a few drops of argan or jojoba oil. In dry hair, I make about ten parts along my canopy and massage it in with my fingertips. It gives me a wild Tina Turner mane which I put in a very loose ponytail to prevent the rest from bleeding onto my length. I don't do the back of my head, because my horrible sweaty necks from summer are still too clear in my memory, though I probably should, I guess. I'm doing this more to get new growth and fill in my horribly thin canopy, rather than to achieve growth. A healthy +BSL is all I'm shooting for at the moment, and I don't mind if it takes me a while to get there.
I do get slight headaches, a weird "pressing" feeling like something is pushing on my head. It lasts about an hour. I've been a bit worried because I've had a massive headache yesterday and the day before that, but I don't think it has anything to do with the Daktarin.
I'm thinking of getting a bottle of Megatek and then alternating months. I've read on the Megatek thread that this is a good idea.
I wish I could get Monistat because it seems that the only available European options contain mineral oil, and I'm worried about shedding cause of pores getting clogged. I've been using a SLS shampoo every week, by which I hope to minimise that possibility.
