I love you monistat!

[Harriet]

I was just taking my monthly length shot and wanted to share with you all my progress since I've been using monistat and thank you for all the stuff i've learned here!
I started using it in July, and have applied the regular 2% cream after ever wash (2-3 times a week). I have trimmed and 2" off since July.
Here is my attempt at a progress compilation!

http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=4711&pictureid=85176I'm so pleased with my progress. I'm painfully close to waist!
Or can I call this waist?

[LadyJennifer]

[angelfell]

I'm so pleased with my progress.

So tell us more about your actual application.
How much you use
How exactly you apply (fingers, bottle, scalp only, parting, etc)
Whether your hair still wet or already dry after your wash but before you apply
Whether you rinse it our or leave it in

Do tell!

As long as it works who cares? Won't be the first time for interesting looks with my long hair :D.

:D I have to say that the Australian version - DAKTARIN Cream did work for me and now my second longest layer is waist straight and my longest layer is hip straight. However, it had an interesting side effect and made my skin flaky so I had to stop using it :o However, I have never used Monistat as such. It's definitely worth giving it a go in my opinion.

Looks like there are a ton of different monistat choices. Which one do you buy for this?

[christine1989]

That is definatly waist :). Way to go!

[mariika]

Great hair! *Envy* :)))) Your hair looks gorgeous and I'm pretty sure it's CICTW, but I must say that kind of growth over the period from January to October is normal for hair and I'm not sure monistat did a miracle here.

That's what I was thinking too. To the OP, had you had a stall in growth before using MN? For me personally I found it made no difference to my growth rate but everyone is different.

[pepperminttea]

Wow, that's quite a bit of growth - congrats! :)

[Harriet]

Thanks for the lovely comments!
I've been applying just by massaging it onto my scalp neat with my fingers while my hair is still wet.
Perhaps the growth isn't that special but bear in mind that I didn't start using it unil after the july photo was taken and that the gap between the first to pics (showing my natural growth rate) is 6 months and the gap between each if the rest us one month.
I've been measuring and my average monthly growth and before MN it was 1/2" and since using it it has been 1".

I just started using it again and I can't wait to see how my hair grows. Lovely growth, it looks like waist to me.
