    "Roots Only" applicator bottle (2) "Roots Only" applicator bottle

    I found this at Wal-Mart - and it is pretty sweet! It was just under $4.

    I wanted to try the monistat thing, but since I don't dye, I didn't have any applicator bottles around. Well, they had this one that has 10 little tips going across!

    I've never used anything like this before, so I can't compare - but I sure liked it!

    It also has 1/2 oz. measurements on the side.

    So, here I sit with my first of any kind of treatment on my head. I filled the bottle with one oz. oil (a mixture of several natural oils I also got at Walmart), 1 oz. of monistat, and one oz. of warm water and shook it up really hard to emulsify it. Then I used the applicator to spread it on my scalp and massaged it in, then used oil on my tips and just put it all into a satin sleep cap.

    We'll see how I fare overnight. I plan to wash it out in the morning - before work and all. If I weren't going to be out of town this weekend, I would have done it over the weekend so I could leave it on longer. I'll probably make that my habit in the future if there are no ill effects.

    Just wanted to share a little gadget I personally had never seen or heard of but am quite happy about. It would have taken me forever if I had used a 1-tip applicator.

    I'm not familiar with SMT or Fox's ... but it did well for me ... wasn't too much blurping out at once and running everywhere, but I wasn't having to bear down on it hard to get a flow either.

    I've tried roots only for henna (epic fail, plugged it up badly), but it worked great for applying diluted shampoo to the roots.

    I've had two of those bottles, and in both cases the head split just below the rake portion so I've since given up on them.

    To bad to hear about the splits... i may still try one for special treatments that i dont do often maybe it might last a bit longer. Not to expensive for a trial run "Roots Only" applicator bottle (21)

    Yeah, I'm disappointed to hear about them splitting ... I'll try to update after I've been using mine for a while, since I'm only going to use it about once a week or so- we shall see.

    That was a great idea about using it for the shampoo though! "Roots Only" applicator bottle (25)

    I have one with just one tip to apply the shampoo directly to the roots. I've been using those bottles for years, and they work great, but I am not sure if they would also work with thicker substances than shampoo/water.

    I have one like that, and I trimmed the tip down a bit so it'd be wider (though not by much) and it works great for henna if I mix it a little runnier than normal.

    I'll just echo Nightshade -- when I tried it, it didn't work at all for henna, even when the henna was diluted to be quite runny. It does sound useful for scalp oiling and monistat!
