Isn't Monistat inserted into the vagina? From a scientific point of view, the vagina is a much more delicate environment than the scalp. Stuff we wouldn't dream of putting inside our vagina, we have no problem slapping on our scalp, caustic stuff like lye/nolye relaxers, MTG, chemical ladden hair and scalp potions, Surge etc. I would think if it is safe for the vagina, it is probably safe for the scalp.
People are taking tons of vitamins and MSM. When taken in mega doses, vitamins are like drugs. Do we really know what are the long term side effects of taking these products in mega doses? Answer is:NO!!!
kammie said:Those of you planning on doing this really should look up the side effects of this drug. There are possible drug interactions, allergic reactions, and other physical side effects such as itching, irritation, stomach problems. You're not supposed to get it near your ears, nose, or mouth, and you must wash your hands thoroughly after using it in the correct manner. All you have to do is google monistat 7 side effects.
I can't believe how many people are ready to jump on this bandwagon based on one person's post about the success of her friend without checking out the facts. This isn't a type of conditioner; it is a drug made for a specific purpose with specific directions on its use. At the very least, do your research before you try it.
For me, the extra 1/4-1/2 inch isn't worth it. I'll continue my journey doing it the old fashioned way--wash, condition, moisturize, protect ends.

Essentially, what I'm understanding is that this stuff blocks DHT? The stuff that causes hairloss in males and females.
Due the things posted in this thread--I have a few things to ponder about....
SpicedTee said:I guess that everyone is here for essentially the same reasons...to grow long hair? That was my primary reason for joining 2 years ago. But in two years I have become more aware of my thinning hair and realize that my primary focus is keeping my hair. Everyone is not here to grow hair fast. Everyone is not here to have hair growing down their back. There are women like me in the background who are not jumping on bandwagons but hungry for information. The consensus seems to be that I am a fool for trying some things. I very well may be, but there is a diplomatic way to say everything. I say find out for yourself, speak to your physicians and do you, you know?
ITA, IF IM NOT INTERESTED IN A PRODUCT I WOULD JUST SAY SO AND MOVE ON OR NOT EVEN RESPOND. WHY ARGUE ABOUT A PRODUCT IM NOT INTERESTED IN ANYWAY? IM SURE AFTER AWHILE THE PERSON(S) WOULD SHOW PICTURES OR TELL THEIR RESULTS. IM KIND OF SCURRRED TO EVER GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS BOARD.ChocoKitty said:Thank you for your response SpicedTee. I totally understand and agree with you. I currently use MTG and am very happy with my results.
Just like you--I'm here gathering information for knowledge's sake... That's what I thought this board was all about... A community that shared, gathered and discussed information. I understand EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion...but I sometimes feel a line should be drawn with some of the "commentary". If you don't like an idea or don't want to use something leave it at that...
*hops off of soapbox*
Best wishes to those of you who plan to use this method.

diamoness said:I dont see what the big deal is. Its not THAT serious. This is a board where we are supposed to be able to share the information or methods we aquire (whether it be from strangers, cousins, medical doctors, the girls next door, or a beautician) about hair. Some may want to try them. Some may not. So what?
patient1 said:One more thing to all,
I've always enjoyed this board because this was a place where we collected as women with a hair focus regardless of texture, natural or relaxed, etc. I have another beloved website where i, as a woman with natural hair, go to convene with others. but i tire of the politics of hair and the exclusion of other women who are, hair aside, my sistren.
I found this site a bit less judgemental and there was a place for all. So despite the fact that this is my second home, it felt very cozy and comforting.
I truly hope that you all can continue in the spirit that makes for such a varied spectrum. This is who we REALLY are: women of color with varying lengths, textures, hair color making very DIFFERENT choices about what we do with whats on top of our heads. What could be more beautiful? I wouldn't deny someone a perm, texturizer, or a tube of monistat even though those things are not for me. And I also wouldn't belittle my sistren.

We Know you were just being silly, girl! It's allgood!Koffie said:I am sorry if I offended you on your thread.
I wasn't knocking it at all; I am just a joke-ster by nature.
I joke with my closests freinds like that too.
But judging by some of you further posts, I feel as though I have offended you.
That was definitely not my intent.
I guess I shouldn't have gotten too common with things on this board.
Once again, I'm sorry.
