Ugh! Locked out of my laptop for the past couple days. I've been peeking in from my phone and now from my daughter's laptop. Just want to say that there's some awesome progress and support going on. You ladies are doing it Big! KUTGW!!! :drunk:
 
Great job, Ladies! I've using a homemade sulfur mix for the last few weeks (I also have a large bottle of MTG). I didn't join this challenge but I may join the next one.:look:

Keep up the good work!

I love your hair. I'm watchin' you. :hippie4:
 
Congrats to everyone for your progress! Seeing the manifestation of hard work is even more motivation to keep doing what we do. Checking in: Monday I got under the steamer for like 20 minutes with no product just a satin scarf. It softened up my new growth a lot and minimized dryness. Other then that, my routine is the pretty much the same. I'm still taking a prenatal & MSM supplement daily and MTGin every night of course. :yep:
 
Still haven't got back on the Sulfur. I have one more week before I relax. I'm trying to go 10 weeks and my poor scalp is so tender from the ng. :nono:
 
I still haven't gotten back on it myself. My scalp was so tender it scared me. I think that is why I'm so hesitant now.
 
I need new ideas for a mix to increase my growth so I mix some aloevera juice, sulfur and carol daughter elixir to try out.

What were you using. The only time I noticed the tender scalp is when my homemade mix got more potent as I used the oil down. And when I used MTG. I had to stop shaking my oil when I used it. It was so infused that I no longer needed to. I had to lay off the MTG for like a week to combat the tenderness from that.

Have you noticed that along with the tenderness come sensitivity? I remember when my scalp was tender from the MTG. It would literally sting would apply certain hair oils.

OOOOWWCCHH that sounds painful. The only time I had scalp issues with sulfur is when I put too much peppermint oil in my MTG:blush:... when I say my scalp was on fire I mean inflamed (at least it felt like it). It was so bad I had to wash it out. Long story short, I learned to respect essential oils, when that bottle says a few drops it means "a few drops". I thought I was going to wake up bald headed! :cantlook:

Wow I had tenderness with the MTG by it's self. I can't imagine the extra tingle from the peppermint oil. :burning: And yes you have to be very careful with eo.
 
Checkin' in: still using my homemade MTG mix which has peppermint oil, sulfur, and Ayurvedic oils in it. I've noticed that since I've been transitioning, my scalp has become tender. I don't know if that's from the consistent use of my MTG mix (abt 1-2 times a wk), or from the NG. Either way, my scalp only feels tender when I go to comb it out or braid while dry. Sulfur, Vedic oils, and EOs are permanent parts of my hair/scalp care reg.
 
Hey everyone checking...I forgot about this challenge and another one I am in....I just started school and it has been rough for me...Hey flowin I saw ur progress and it looks great I have been a weave for 6 weeks and will be taking it out after 9..I havent done any length check but I posted about me going from sl to almost apl in 6 weeks due to sulfur and running. I now apply ever other day. Hopefully I will apply daily..
 
Please be careful when using sulfur. It can cause problems if inhaled or gotten into your eyes. The dust is also explosive so please be very careful. I don't usually post here but I just wanted to say this to you ladies. If you never heard this before please read about sulfur warnings on the net. It is supposed to be used by professionals only so please use caution. I hear breathing in the dust or getting it in your eyes or inhaling it can be very painful.

Thanks for taking the time to post this precaution. I've been mixing sulfur for almost a year now and when I first mixed it and read the precautions, I was prepared with goggles, gloves and a mask ~just to be safe. But, I found that the sulfur powder isn't fine enough to fly up in the air with the slightest movement. Basically, that was the last time I've taken any special precautions. Once it's added to the oils, there's no risk of dust inhalation or burning skin. Of course, I'm a mixologist and have experience in handling it. Newbies should gain their own level of comfort. It's not that scary tho. lol
 
I tried BT and it absolutely made my hair grow. I normally relax my hair at 12wks but after using BT I had to relax at 8wks. However, I noticed after a month and a half that I had developed too large bald spots on my right side. My hair seems to be a finer texture on my right side then my left so I had to stop using it all together and went with MSM tablets instead. I would say that after a month of taking MSM tablets those bald spots have grown back in. It's still thin but there is hair there.

Good luck on this challenge ladies!

mturnr88 :shocked: Oh my!! I'm so sorry this happened to you. Do you think it had something to do with the BT? Also did you make sure that the sulfur was completely washed out of your hair and took at least a week break from using it before relaxing? I noticed someone on BHM had the same issue with sulfur from not following these steps. Sulfur will cause relaxer to burn MUCH faster and in some cases hair loss. Your issue might have came from the combo of the relaxer and sulfur.
