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

[destinyseeker]

I'm skipping this weeks application. Had to have emergency surgery Sunday night to remove my gallbladder but I will continue next week.

Hope you have speedy recovery!

If I added 15g of MN (monistat) to my 7oz megatek mix (60% Megatek, 25% water, 15% JBCO & Reg. CO) would it lose its effectiveness? I bought some yesterday and putting a small bit on a patch on the back of my head i woke up with burning scalp all over and a headache. But im not sure if it's from that or using too much sulfur 8....
ended up clarifying my hair immedietly and steaming under some aloevera oil and water.

Maybe i should make a seperate JBCO/Garlic Oil mix and add that? And if I did that how much oil should be used with the full 15g tube? TIA

Do you mix the MN with megatek?

 

[DominicanBrazilian82]

I never did an update pic... Not really planning to until next week when I relax; however, I did a small length check of my damaged nape area, and I've gotten about an 1.5 since I last checked this area (Sept 1)...

Have you ever used that mix without the MN?

 

[AlwaysNatural]

Have you ever used that mix without the MN?

I just recently made the megatek mix and never applied it and have not yet made the JBCO mix because i'm not sure how much oil content should be added without potentially diluting the MN itself...well that goes for both in the megatek mix and the jbco/go mix.

I think you should try to figure out with ingredientgave you that bad reaction before making any kind of mix. I've used MT without MN and with never head that reaction of burning scalp.

As for diluting it I'm a novice at how much well make it lose it effectiveness...I'm like a mad scientist when making these mixes if i notice I'm not getting the desired result i tweak my mix until I'm satisfied sorry if that doesn't help hog

Oh! I just reread this. You put the MN directly on your scalp and when you woke up, you had that reaction. I never had that reaction and did apply it directly for some time. Right now, my mix has 2 oils and MN so it's about 33% MN.

[jprayze]

Switching to my MN mix with the 4% on Monday until the end of the year!

 

[ManiiSweetheart]

Have any of y'all used the vaginal suppositories in your mixes? I picked up the wrong box and I don't feel like going back to target (20+miles away) ...it is miconazole nitrate too soo...

 

[jprayze]

ManiiSweetheart I have...shhh don't judge me! LOL

[jprayze]

Yes, they worked great. I actaully used them directly when I first started using MN.

Checking In:

Applying MN tonight … I will throw on a shower cap to make sure I don't have oil seeping through my bonnet, plus I can get a light steam going while I sleep. I hope you all are doing well …

2nd day using my 4% mix!

 

[destinyseeker]

Finally got my power back yesterday after hurricane Sandy... 7 days. Gave my hair a lot of love! Pre-poo condish, wash, protein boost and a nice long moisturizing deep conditioner, air dried and then put my mix. Happy hair...happy me!

 

[jprayze]

destinyseeker Glad you are ok and so glad that your power finally came back. I'm in MD and we really expected that your power was going to go out as well, but it never did.

 

[freckledface]

AlwaysNatural one time I applied my mn straight mn straight and it felt like it was burning. I'm pretty sure it was because I was scratching my scalp way to hard before I applied. It's never happened before or after that time though. Idk if that helps

 

[freckledface]

@jpayze I'm sorry didn't see you question my mentions are being stupid but I've been using it straight I'd say before this challenge for maybe 2 months on and off and through this whole challenge. Not sure if its better than a mix or not. I've been cutting damage all this yr so its kinda hard to tell my growth except my hair is fuller. The only thing I can say for sure is that I did have shedding when I stopped cold turkey. But eventually that stopped too (on its own didn't use anything.)

 

[itismehmmkay]

So...DominicanBrazilian82 got me looking into this challenge. I'll buy some from Walmart tomorrow.

 

[itismehmmkay]

Please add me to this challenge, I haven't used MN in ages! I'm going to mix it in with sulfur 8 and oil my scalp 2x's a week. I'll post my starting pic after I relax.

I was thinking of sulfur 8 too.

 

[DominicanBrazilian82]

2nd day using my 4% mix!

How's it going?

 

[jprayze]

How's it going?

No problems as far as my scalp. Feels the same. I'm trying not to do a length check until December so I hope the 4% will give me the end of the year boost!
