2010 Sulfur Challenge

[flowinlocks]

I've decided that sulfur will be my growth aid of choice this year. I'm experimenting with adding it to my Ayurvedic oils. I also have MTG, which is a little too stinky for every day use I'm using this one sporadically.

I know there are many members that have experience with sulfur as well as some wonderful recipes. I think this would be a good place to gather to share ideas and success stories.

Anyone care to join me?

The challenge will start offically on 2/1/10. and run through 12/31/10 Other than doing what you normally do to maintain length and protect your hair, there are no rules.

Suggested products include:

MSM oral or on scalp
Sulfur 8 or related products
Glovers Mane
Sublimed Sulfur mixtures
MTG or human version Sulu Max Gro
Surge
Bee Mine
Boundless Tresses
Claudie's Scalp Elixir - products are in her Fotki send order via email to - [email protected]
Madame CJ Walker Hair Products
any other growth aid containing sulfur

Please post your starting pic., reggie, and the form/s of sulfur you plan on using.

There will only be 3 updates: 6/30/10, 9/30/10, and 12/31/10

Let's get this party started!!



ETA:
Please do a small patch test when using sulfur based products for the first time. This will avoid potential
setbacks from an allergic reaction.

Editing again to add precaution of potential adverse reaction with lye. Be sure to stop using sulfur based products on the scalp at least a week before a relaxer. Also wait at least a week after relaxing to restart.

My starting pic. is in my siggy. My reggie consists of rotating weekly tea rinses with Ayurvedic herbs, oiling with Ayurveda/Sulfur mixture, cowashing, dcing at least once a week. I also airdry and wear updo's for daily ps.

Welcome to the challenge! I mixed about a tablespoon in a 8oz. bottle with various Ayurvedic oils that I wanted to use up.

 

[Mzz Mac]

I'm in! This is right on time! I just got my order of Claudie's Scalp Elixir (pink sugar fragrance). I just got my touch up last night and can't use it until 5-7 days which will be in time for the start date. I will have hubby take an updated siggy pic and post within the next couple of days.

 

[flowinlocks]

You're in. I had great results with sulfur internally, however it made me gain wieght. I figure trying it topically can't hurt.

 

[Seven7]

Count me in!! I use MTG 2 times a week.

It's the only growth aid that has worked for me, and trust me when I first got on LHCF I tried alot erplexed. I have been using it since Aug 09.

Do you use it straight up? How much growth do you get per month? Sorry for all the questions.

 

[Optimus_Prime]

Can anyone recommend a drug store chain that sells sublimed sulfur? (Like CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens) I'd like to join, but I want to make sure I actually have a sulfur mix beforehand.
Thanks!

How do you get it to dissolve or does it I tried it with castor oil but it did not dissolved?

 

[flowinlocks]

It doesn't completely dissolve. It settles to the bottom just like the MTG. I have to shake it up ever time I use it.
