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

[jprayze]

Hey @ jprayze, that's a good question … I think I will continue with MN, applying once a week from late December til March and stop for a month then. My birthday is in February and I have big plans on being BSB. After I take the month off from MN, (March to April) I will jump right back in the challenge.

Sounds like a good plan!

 

[ESmackum]

Yes, come on back!



Your hair is beautiful! 1.5 in 2 months is great! Do you know what your normal growth rate is?

I'm back at it. Applied my MN mix after I washed my hair this weekend. I put a little around my edges this morning, baggied my ends and put a wig on. Because this east coast hurricane business is no joke. Made sure to add a few extra bobby pins so my hair won't blow down the street.

I started applying my MN mixture & so far its going good. I changed the mixture to, .05oz of walnut oil, .05oz of grapeseed oil, .05oz of avocado oil and a couple of drops of argon oil oh & of course 1tube of mn. The only thing is walnut oil has a peanut smell when u 1st apply it.

Yes the scalp only. I do it once a day. I have done it twice but I don't think it's necessary to get good results.

I try to apply once a day... I'm texlaxed and would need to wash my hair more then once a week if i applied twice a day because of product build up and i think it works better on a clean scalp... I don't want to over manipulate my hair and I get good growth from once a day so it works for me... Yup only to my scalp and then massage my scalp for a few mins

How much are you taking? I've been taking it consistently for a month with no breakouts, but I'm only taking 1000 mcg/day.

 

[freckledface]

Did it!! My SO just doesn't understand lol

I take a multi and calcium and vit d combo they were recommended by my nutritionist. I'll give this biotin a week trial, depending on how bad I break out will determine if I'll finish this bottle or go to lower dosage.

 

[jprayze]

Yup is that bad

I think it's better to start lower and work your way up with biotin...hopefully your body will get used to it during your week trial.

I have not been an official member of this challenge. I owned some monistat but did not seriously apply it. I had recently worn my hair in the sengelese twist hair style. Twice. After take out, I had a damaged area in a triangle shape on the right hairline. It was completely bald. I began to seriously apply and massage in straight 2% Monistat mostly twice daily. It has been about two weeks. It is unbelieveable! We should be sending some to Naomi Campbell!!!

I also didn't officially join this challenge because I'd already put braids in my hair 2 weeks before it started but I decided to try the MN along with some Hair, Skin, & Nail pills from CVS and the GHE 2 or 3 times a week for one month. I was very pleased with the results, at least one inch of new growth for the month. Also, I had no problems with dandruff flakes the whole time. I'm going to start again on Nov. 1. Hopefully I can get some pics.

 

[jprayze]

^^ Thanks for sharing your results ladies!

 

[jprayze]

I straightened my hair, but resisted posting a length check. I hoping at the end of the challenge my pic will be AMAZING! I should finish my current mix w/in the next few days and switch to my 4% mix for the rest of the year. Looks like at least 3 inches to BSB...3 inches in 2 months? Not impossible...we will see...
