Miconazole Nitrate (MN) Challenge (September 1 - December 31, 2012)

[jprayze]

Does anyone use Miconazole Nitrate spray instead of the cream?

I don't know of anyone.

 

[jprayze]

jprayze sorry I forgot all about doing this challenge. I was in the first one and had great results! Hope you don't mind me "lurking"! By the way your hair looks great!

Thanks!!! deedoswell Did you stop using MN? If so, did you have any issues when you stopped using MN?

 

[deedoswell]

jprayze yes I stopped using the MN - wanted a break - I had some shedding but it only lasted about two months and then it stopped. It wasn't major but it worried me a little so I started taking a garlic supplement and it stopped. I'm going to start using it again because it did get me two inches that I was trying to get.

… I will be applying MN after cowashing. I'm doing the 7 day V challenge (vaseline), so I will seal my ends with that and call it a night …

 

[jprayze]

Applied this am. No changes, no issues. Currently bunning, Going to flat iron probably Wed for our upcoming length check. Yea I'm excited lol

 

[DominicanBrazilian82]

Applied my mix! On top of it this week

I just put my mix in for the first time in 10 days ( seven days before the perm and three days after). I'll wash and flat iron it before the check in

 

[jprayze]

Think I will get my hair flat ironed today and pin curled. I will wait for the curls to fall before I take a length check pic and that should put me right around check in time. Also thinking that I will use 2% MN straight after the flat iron bc I don't want the oil weighing my hair down. I will still use my EO blend at night.

Still applying my MN daily or every other day. Braids are a bit loose so when I take them down, I'll take a pic and compare it to my Sept. 30th length check picture.

Ok changed the plan to Thursday. It's too misty here; hope tomorrow will be clearer.

Finally at the salon Under the dryer...debating on whether to trim or not to trim...my ends don't look bad, but I don't want to wait until they get bad...

… Applying MN tonight … this will be my fourth time and I know y'all might think I'm crazy but I can tell my hair has grown a little. I know I will see a huge difference in two weeks but I'm noticing a little growth now *wishful thinking, maybe?* …

I see a subtle difference. How frequently do you use it? Do you see a change in your normal growth rate?

 

[jprayze]

From beginning of the challenge until today



Sept 27 to today

 

[destinyseeker]

I see a subtle difference. How frequently do you use it? Do you see a change in your normal growth rate?

It's much thicker and fuller, I had one side that was substantially longer than the other, the ends in the mid back was noticeably thinner in the middle and my crown and edges were thin.... It has really evened out, edges and crown are filled in and I picked up almost two inches. Still using my mix every other day and I think I'll stick with that... length without thickness or fullness is not my goal. It's looking really healthy

Congrats on your growth it got a lot longer!

 

[destinyseeker]

Also I tried to keep my head straight this time... I noticed that the last time I was looking up at the camera lol! So my hair looked longer Ughhhh
