    Default current mn users or prior users

    For those of you who have used both the 4% and the 2% mn, I was wondering is there really a difference? In other words is the 4% or 4% monistat brand really more beneficial in terms of the pace in which the hair grows than the 2%

    I currently use the 2%mn with okay results. The 4% (monistat) is soo expensive. I hoping you ladies can let me know before I go breaking my pockets

    Thanks in advance

    Personally I think using the 4% is overkill. I even think using the 2% is overkill. You really don't need that much to aid in faster growth.

    I just started using 4% this week so I can't comment on it.

    But they 2% to me ain't no joke! It gave me quite a bit of new growth ( I'll say almost 2 inches) the first cycle I used it (I call a cycle 3-4 months).

    So if the 4% works any faster, it'll be worth it!

    But as far as I'm concerned, the 2% is fantastic!

    I haven't used the 4%, but the 2% worked really well.

    SweetGal,

    I have tried the 2% & the 4%. Personally the 4% gives faster results, the down side is the itching..

    I propose:
    Winter months=4%
    Summer months=2%

    Hope you can handle strectching. I usually stretch 14wks, this time I only stretched till 9wks. Hopefully the Cassia will help stretch longer.

    FYI-MN is really helping my edges

    Thanks to all the ladies who have responded.

    Slender1, My hair is in cornrow, that's the only way I can strech. I really want to speed up my hairgrowth because i have had a few set backs. Plus I'm curious at to what kind of growth I can achieve. In addition it would be my christmas gift to myself (buying the expensive 4% monistat). Yeah it does not take much to please me.

    Thanks you all, and keep this post alive. There are alot of people that want a comparison between the two products (the 2% mn and the 4% mn).

    I don't have an answer to your question.

    I used the generic brand 2% and it gave me the worst scalp conditioner ever.

    I notice a bit more itching w/4% than the 2%.

    Don't know what that means, but I'm not LOSING hair either.

    Onward...

    I know this thread was posted over a year ago but....one of the side effects of mn is itching. So, I don't know if that means its working or that you may be allergic.

    This is an awesome idea. I never even thought about doping it this way and it makes a whole lot of sense since hair growth typically seem to slow down during the winter months and speed up in the summer months.

    Wow, I will be applying my MN just like this. I have some of the 4% and the 2% MN and now I know how I am going to use them. Thanks a million.
