OT-- LMAO I just threw a tube of this away the other day as I was saying to myself- why do I still have this and my son is no longer in pampers. :lachen:

I'll think twice before I start getting rid of ointments these days.

Lady Kay 21 · Jan 3, 2009

I have some, I'll hold on to it.

mommy2kaela · Jan 4, 2009

this sounds interesting...I hope its not the cream one.

Qualitee · Jan 4, 2009

Oh no here we go :giggle:

Lady Kay 21 · Jan 5, 2009

LOL! My mom uses the regular one not the cream, and her hair has definitely grown longer than mine in less time. She doesnt even take care of her hair the way I do. shes known for overlapping relaxers, not covering her hair before sleeping, no moisture whatsoever and she even uses that nasty brown gel all the time. I feel like everytime I come home for break her hair is longer and longer and I always wondered how she retained so much length when she doesnt even take care of her hair. one day as she was telling me not to wash myhair so frequently :ohwell:

I noticed her rubbing it on her scalp. When I asked her what she was doing she just stared at me blankly and said that the A&D oinment was what made her hair grow. Earlier today i asked her what was in it that she thinks is giving her the growth and she said it has cod liver oil in it....

I started using this about three weeks ago, and I am seeing a lot of new growth. :grin:

I have about an inch of new growth, which for me is good because I only get half an inch per month.
I'm four weeks post and I am going to be in braids until the end of april or the beginning of may. I will do a big reveal with comparison pics and all that good stuff by may which is when I'm taking out my braids! :yawn:

So, does this tingle when you put it on your scalp? I've been using A&D for my daughters diaper rash but never even thought it would sped up hair growth.

I can't wait to see your big reveal!

Lady Kay 21 · Jan 28, 2009

It doesnt tingle or anything of that sort, and its notgreasy as some may think...

RavenMaven · Feb 22, 2009

Mine has petroleum and light mineral oil in it's ingredients. Does this mean that it should be avoided or does it really matter?

TwistNMx · Apr 4, 2009

What are the ingredients?

lonelysky · Apr 4, 2009

a & d as in the ointment that you use for minor cuts and scrapes and such. The kind that used to come in a white and yellow metal like tube?

kayte · Apr 4, 2009

I was thinking the same thing.LOL

Soliel185 · Apr 4, 2009

Sounds like the principal would be the same as MN. The A&D kills bacteria and yeast that can inhibit growth and cause flaky scalp. Flaky scalp blocks follicles so preventing or treating it would appear to increase or optimize growth rate.

A bit less embarassing to buy than MN though. :look:

jaszymeen · Apr 4, 2009

i know i would like to know too. i have still have 95% of a tube left from when i got my tattoo

Platinum · Apr 4, 2009

Uh oh, I see a new bandwagon in the making. :look:

Lady Kay 21 · Apr 5, 2009

The ingredients are: cod liver oil, lanolin, petroleum, light mineral oil and microcrystaline wax.
i'm not one of those people who are against mineral oil and petroleum and it works for me so im using it.

The brand is A+D original ointment brand.

DaPPeR · Apr 5, 2009

Hmmmmm....like Soliel said, less embarassing than MN. I stay getting looks with my 3-4 boxes of MN at the register. Never fails.

Thanks for the ingredients.. I'll have to pass. I've given up petroleum products.

i used it on my son when he had craddle cap. it did help fill in the dry bald patches he had.

Mecca_Goddess · Dec 29, 2010
