What is this monistad you speak of?

I've seen a thread about it but that didn't really clear things up and I don't think they sell it here. What is it originally used for? From the tone of the thread I get ideas in my head like how it actually is hemorrhoid cream or something.

lol Im very impatient!

Hey!! Monistat is a cream/pill that is used to treat yeast infections... yup, lady part cream! Apparently the active ingredient in it also CAN cause your hair to grow faster

You should definately be able to get it at your local drug store/pharmacy!!

Hope this helps!!

Thanks! So I was sort of right.

From what info I can find it is a prescription drug over here so I'll probably not be able to find it at regular stores because they aren't allowed to sell prescription drugs.

I wonder what made someone put it on their head... I'll check out the thread again for more info.

Ohhhh! Congrats to XcaliburGirl ! Will you still sing with us? I'm sure no one will mind if you sing "bra strap" instead of "armpit."

(Ok, now that goes on my list of sentences I never thought I'd utter.)

Subbing. My longest layers are at shoulder now, I'm hoping to hit APL by next summer *fingers crossed*.

It is usually called 'daktarin' in Europe, and you can buy it in drugstores like 'Etos', 'Kruidvat' etc. It might be hard to find in the section 'medicin, other'. Just tell one of the workers there that you want to see everything they have to treat a yeast infection on your feet, arms or "insert".

Good luck!

Hmmm... i think i will be APL very soon.

I've been in hospital recently and now im at home but we have no bath because of a flood so i have been washing everyother day and just tying my hair up everyday. Blowdryed today for the first time in 2 weeks (its v.cold now) and noticed my hair has grown!

My roots are about an inch longer and i can see my hair isnt far off APL when straightened, which is good for me since i use the iron when i have it down once per week. Im aiming for BSL so using the iron doesnt bother me. Once its long enough for waves to look decent i will quit!! (i have very kinky, frizzy hair but no real waves and scrunching doesnt work!)

So I think APL for Xmas please

Best pressie ever!

Thanks! I'm going to do a lot more research though. I'm not entirely convinced this is save. It seems to good to be true and honestly a little fishy. (tee hee

I just coerced my DH to measure my hair again.

Last measurement October 31st:
Damp/nearly dry hair, stretched 53 cm

Now:
Dry hair, stretched 54 cm

That can't be right, right? My hair stretches a lot when it's wet and it's easily 3-4 cm shorter when it's dry so this would mean my hair grew at least 1 cm and possibly more in one week!

Either the deep oilings and scalp massages with a castor oil mix are working or my hair is just plain freaky.

I promised myself I wouldn't measure more than once a month but my curiosity got the better of me and now I doubt I can leave the tape measure alone for three more weeks...
