2010 Sulfur Challenge

[NJoy]

Do ya'll want to do another update before Dec?? Like say Sept.?

I think September would be great. That would give us an end of the summer check as well.

I say do whatever is the closest to your texture in your starting pic. That way you can have a more accurate comparison.

Looks like the challenge started in Feb and my Feb pic I just stretched a section of hair. So, I'll do the same for this challenge plus a full dried pic for future comparisons. Plus, I enjoy the opportunity to see my hair down and dried.

Can't wait til the end of the month. A few challenges are doing check ins. You know what that means. Hair porn.

I'll have to have a major trim tonight by hubby. I have to straighten it. I'm way over-due, so I'm sure it will be a lot of hair.
But I will be adding my sulfur mix tonight.

You are so right. I guess there aren't any short cuts.

Your hair looks good! Ends look nice and thick.

Checking In, I cowashed with Skala AV. I'm about to apply my Bee Mine.

 

[NJoy]

Cowashed, nettle/black tea rinse, moisturized ends and applied homemade mix. I'm baggied under scarf and ready for bed.

Hey Ladies! May I please be added to the challenge? I know it has already started, but I can rock with you all till the end of the year. I've received some BT and I'm ready to go. After reading a majority of the thread, I've decided to try my hand at making my own mix. I have a lot of oil that needs to be used up.

@NJoy: Thank you so much for directing me to this thread. Your growth is amazing!!!!

Your hair looks good! Ends look nice and thick.

Thanks for the compliment.
My ends are very frail and thin.
Any advice on that would be welcomed.

 

[TwistNMx]

Today I'm just spirtzing my hair with the MSM mixture and leaving it alone.

 

[flowinlocks]

Thanks for the compliment.

You def. took a step in the right direction by cutting them off.

The next thing is babying them by keeping them protected and moisturized.

 

[Aggie]

I've been taking a short break off of MN for a while and not sure when I will be back on it topically anyway. I have been taking my MSM capsules every couple of days or so though.

 

[lovely_locks]

I think that my sulfur is giving me dandruff

I agree with flowinlocks. Keep them protected or at least up off your neck and definitely moisturize them daily. Make sure to use some porosity control conditioning so the ends don't dry out too much.

You don't have manipulate your hair to moisturize it, by the way. You can get a spray-on moisturizer and spray them instead of using something that would require you to touch your hair too much. I especially love Taliah Waajid Protective Body Mist to accomplish this.

Hey all! Imma get back on this sulfur thang
Starting Monday, I will be applying my mix to my scalp 3x/week.

 

[Aggie]

I think I'll start reapplying my MN/Sulfur mix to my scalp tonight seeing that I'm cowashing daily now. I don't have to worry about the sulfur scent accumulating on my head this way.

10 more days before update pics ladies!!!:bouncegre

10 more days before update pics ladies!!!:bouncegre

Is it okay to use my siggy picture since I just had a big cut 1-1/2" worth?
I can then catch up in September?

 

[13StepsAhead]

Hey Ladies just popping in to ask a question. I'm thinking of making a sulfur mix to see if I can achieve some growth before I BC, but I was wondering if it would work with daily co-washing. Do any of you ladies co-wash daily or at least 3x a week and notice that applying your sulfur mix is still helping?

TIA

Me! I've been pretty much cowashing daily and using a homemade sulfur mix since I started in January. I've had no problems at all!

 

[13StepsAhead]

Thanks Njoy! I've been considering this for a while but I didnt want my cowashing to take away the effect of using sulfur.

 

[Aggie]

I'm cowashing daily as well with no issues. I prefer it this way because of the strong sulfur scent - I get to wash it out every morning before I head out to work.

By all means. You can post your first update in Sept.

I co-wash no less than 3x a week. Sometimes daily, and I haven't any issues with it. It appears to be just as effective.

 

[13StepsAhead]

Thanks ladies for the feedback! I will be heading off to CVS tomorrow to see if they carry the sulfur powder.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Just wondering what is the average price for the sulfur powder? I'm interested in buying some and I checked the price on amazon. Where else do they sell it? Trader Joe's? Whole Foods?

ETA: I see someone said CVS. What's the average price?

 

[NJoy]

It's pretty cheap. I had CVS order some for me and picked it up there. I think I paid about 4 bucks per container. Comparable with what I was seeing online but they got it FAST!
