Castor oil + Monistat?

**~BoHemiAngel~** · December 21st, 2010, 03:59 PM

Ok, I'm sold on the wonders of Monistat. (Almost 3 inches of growth in a little over three months- woo hoo!!) I often "cut it" with something, like blend it with this other hair product I have to make it last a little longer. I have also been reading about Castor oil applications and how they help to increase thickness... so I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried combining castor oil with Monistat for increased thickness and faster growth (and had success with that), or am I just pushing my luck?

I don't mix them but my MN brand has mineral oil in it and it helps to oil your hair to get that out so after the MN has been on my head for a couple of hours or overnight, I oil my scalp with a castor and jojoba oil mix and leave that for a couple of hours too before CO-ing it out.

It seems to work great. If I do this two to three times a week my hair grows about 1 cm a week which is about 1.5 to 2 inches a month.

This is a good question!

Wow, that's an incredible growth rate! I will try it this way for a while and see what happens! Thanks for your input.

Oh my I might have to try this as well!!! I have sorta of been using the MN just not to faithful but think I will have to bump it up and pay more attention. (Im just using it on top layer to have it catch up with rest of hair)

That's INSANE growth! I'm still waiting a couple of months to see how the peppermint/rosemary oil is affecting my growth rate/thickness, but this is definitely going on my list of possible future experiments.

I am now an occasional monistat user but its been getting expensive.

I had been seeing castor oil mentioned here and there...so I tried it tonight.

It was was too sticky and did not wash out well at all. I had to CO twice and its still not really all out. At least the monistat rinses right out with WO.

So...its back to the Moni$tat!
