Maybe try the diluted formula where you break it and mix it with the water? I haven't used to ovules so I don't know how difficult they might be to break.

Well I am entering my growth spurt season and I still want to reach hip as soon as! so I am going to use daktarin 3x a week and re-start my rooibo spray inbetween, lost my spray bottle but as soon as I get another I am back on that too.

My hair measures 30.1 and I plan to do my first daktarin treatment tomorrow after ive washed, maybe with my natural growth spurt season and the help of daktarin, ican make 34" by February or is that too much like wishful thinking?! time will tell, I shall report back in a weeks time!

I'm sure its the Daktarin that is bringing me closer to waist, i stalled at BSL for months but since i started back on this It is growing so much

I got my Monistat today and just applied it!

My starting measurements are 16.25" and 2" regrowth.

Which MN it is:

It's name brand 2%, Monistat 7 (with the cool wipes, applicators, internal and 'external cream').

How I applied it:

I just took a shower and washed my hair pretty much as usual (used a bit of left over box dye awesome conditioner that my sister didn't finish on my ends), hopped out and patted some of the water out of my hair with my towel, shook my hair up a bit, sat on the side of the bath with my head upside down and about an inch of Monistat lined up on my knee haha, then with my fingers tried to rub it all over my scalp.

I didn't expect it to be a pretty pearly cream!

I had a headache already before I applied it but I'll update if anything extreme happens.

Why:

I wanted to try Monistat not only for extra growth but because I get a constantly itchy scalp a couple days after washing as well, I'm not sure why, as soon as I wash my hair it stops, very annoying as I'm trying to stretch washes.

P.S
I did it on clean hair because my itches were giving me the irrits, I was worried my scalp oil would prevent the MN from being as effective (but now worried it will make my hair look oily when it's dry

) and because it seems a lot easier, it was super quick! It also (to me) smells pretty much like nothing.

^^ good luck. I find it so much easier applying to just washed hair, plus the cream is active for 3 days so it helps stretch those washes out.

I didn't know that? maybe applying it 5 times a week isn't needed then because i only wash my hair 1-2 times a week so i probable only need to apply it 3 times a week ?

^^ apparently it stays working for 72 hours. I used to apply every day and somebody on the forum can't remember who told me to just apply every 3 days. My cream lasted longer (no 5h1t sherlock!) and my hair still gained length.

Incidently do you know of an online site to buy the 30g tubes, Asda has the 15g for under £3 but I am sure they can be bought in the larger tubes. somebody did post a site and I can't find the blinking page in this huge thread! TIA x

Yes your method is very simple, just for me. Wow 72 hours, I like that, maximum effectiveness without wasting and a good way to stretch washes, thank you!

I started using Daktarin cream on the 7th October. I used it two times a week a day before washing. I used it undiluted. All I can say is - wow! I have lots and lots of new (baby) hair all around my hairline and also on the parting (I don't know if this is the correct word, I mean the line on the top of my head where my hair is divided). So, this baby hair has different lengths, the shortest 1", the longest 2", but I really must say that I did not notice this hair before using Daktarin. It's so funny, because now I have lots of short hair beside my ears and it looks like sideburns

As for the overall length, I don't know because I trim and S&D my hair very often (since I joined the LHC, I'm obsessed with trying to get rid of all the split ends as soon as possible). I don't want to measure it anyway, because I afraid I would jinx it

I used 1 whole tube of Daktarin cream (30 grams). This month I plan to use Daktarin Oral Gel (40grams). Because it's not as greasy, I can apply it on wet, clean hair and it is not visible. I will take a picture next month and compare it with a picture I took last month to see if there is any visible growth. I need to learn how to upload pictures first.
