2010 Sulfur Challenge

Got my BT today! It was frozen solid because it had been sitting in the mailbox all day in 30 degree weather. So I warmed it up and got to work. I was very happy with the fast shipping. It did not take long at all to get it in the mail. Used it and did a mini scalp massage. I also took my MSM.
 
I've been following this thread and got inspired to try MTG which was a big stinky mistake. I decided instead make my own sulfur growth aid by mixing De La Cruz Pomada De Azufre, which is an acne cream, with jojoba oil and evoo. I'll post updates.

i have this (for acne). Doesn't the graininess of it bother you? I am afraid to put it on my scalp.

I think the measurement might have been too much. Thyme is strong. try
3 drops of rosemary oil, 3 drops of lavender oil, 2 drops of thyme oil, 2 drops of cedarwood oil, 4 teaspoons of grapeseed oil and half teaspoon of jojoba oil. This should last about 2 weeks. :yep:

Thanks girlie. I realised my scalp didn't like the combo of the MSM oil AND the EOs together, I'm not sure I will continue with the oil, I'm still taking my MSM orally every day.
 
I think I will be doing the same thing. The sulfur smell is a little overwhelming for me to do it every night. Plus I am hoping my patients aren't going "what's that smell?" to me today. :lachen::lachen::lachen:

Could your mix be too strong? EOs are very potent and only a few drops are needed.
 
Actually, the one I bought yesterday is creamy. I tried my mixture last night and got a little bit of a headache at first although it went away I am going to dilute it more. I am happy to say no soreness on my scalp and my hair was still soft from my cowash.

Too lazy to browse previous posts. Guilty as charged. Have mercy, ladies. (That post etiquette thread was hilarious!!:lachen:)

Just wondering if anyone is using the new sulfur8 lite. I hate the smell of sulfur8. Remember it from back in the day. Looked and it has 2% sulfur as the main ingredient. The new sulfur8 lite has a more pleasant scent and still has 2% sulfur as the main ingredient. I'm thinking of using this with MN. Anyone have any comments to share regarding this?

I haven't used it, but my sis. does almost everyday with no problems. She says she loves the smell and it makes her scalp feel good.
 
The smell of Sulfur 8 is not bad at all. My old mix had Ylang Ylang which I did not like. I can't wait to use up this Ylang Ylang EO. The smell is horrible IMO.
 
Ladies how much MSM powder do you mix into your water/juice? I want to make sure I am not using too much water/juice in my mix.
 
Does anyone use msm in their conditioner to cowash? I saw on Qhemet's site that it can be good topically:


Q: What is MSM sulfur and why is it in your products?
A: Qhemet Biologics is proud to be the first and original product line for highly textured hair to contain active MSM sulfur! Hair sulfur levels are susceptible to external influences, particularly from hair chemical straighteners which significantly lower sulfur content. Sulfur deficient hair is slow growing, dry and brittle. The use of Qhemet Biologics hair products, which contain active, bioavailable MSM sulfur, restore sulfur levels at the bulb for absorption by cystein and methionine, two of the sulfur bearing amino acids in hair that are responsible for hair growth, tensile strength and texture. The molecular structure of MSM sulfur is small enough to penetrate the dermal layers of the scalp. Once sulfur is restored at the hair formation level, the emerging new growth is softer, stronger and richer in color. Many users of Qhemet Biologics products notice a marked improvement in the overall health, softness and growth rate of their hair. Kinky, coily and curly hair is restored to its natural, healthy state.
 
@ Sade' I mix sulfur 8 and MN and oils once a week and spray sulfur 8 spray 2x a week the other days I use Bt and MN.
I also mix my MSM powder in my OJ along with liquid silica
I have an essential oil mix i add a little MSM in that as well.

Just checking in.... made a new sulfur mix with megatek, mtg, mn and castor oil. Doing a 6 month stretch and currently 2 months post. Will be wigging it for the next 4 months
 
I just applied my scalp elixir for the third time this week before my wash day which is going to be today later on when I wake up (it's after midnight so I had to say today but it is still saturday night for me.).
 
Great thread ladies! I got the okay from my OB to take MSM, which I was initially taking for a bad knee, and to apply sulfur based product on the scalp.

I have AfroVeda Hibiscus Oil which to my surprise has sulfur in it; it smells wonderful by the way :). I'm going to try this 2x a week.

Since I missed the deadline and can't post hair pics I'll be unofficially in this challenge.

I saw that at dollar general but i didn't get it because i couldn't figure out which ingredient was supposed to be sulfur.

The sulfur is within the amino acids within the aloe vera.

http://www.crohns.net/Miva/nutridata/Aloe_Vera_Nutritional_Data.shtml

I drink aloe vera juice daily, straight-no-chaser! :lol:

I also use it on my scalp occasionally.

I began using it a scalp treatment because Surge14 was being discontinued and I needed a replacement. I learned the mucopolysaccharides in Surge14 are also found in aloe vera. I used it as a treatment a couple of years ago but I was not consistent. I started again a few days ago and I seem to be more consistent and enthusiastic this time around.

I'm loving aloe vera! It's an ancient plant native to AFRICA, baby! :yep:

I didn't use it over a long time frame to notice results in growth but I think it made my scalp environment more conducive to growth. I should have stuck with it. :look:

I'm using it currently, so we shall see what happens. :drunk:
