I'm being lazy again and I'm about to force myself to apply my sulfur mix. I had a really long break of about 2 weeks since I was prepping to relax this past weekend.
Still taking my MSM powder faithfully, about 4000mg's per day. I've been eating a boatload of onions, mushrooms, fish, fruits and veggies so I hope that extra sulfur will give me an extra boost. I want to incorporate eggs back into my diet to get the Biotin, sulfur and protein from them too but I'm too lazy in the mornings
Maybe I'll boil a few to take with me each morning instead.
Happy hair growing ladies!!

Here I grow again!
(Gonna try posting. I'm hella frustrated with this site acting crazy right now. Not sure if this will even post but...)
So I'm planning to relax on the 3rd so that I can relax again right before NYE. I will continue using my sulfur mix this week, every other day. Next week I'll be on msm only (really? I haven't been very consistent lately with taking my vites but I do plan to be more regular next week *blush*). I have an out of town even the weekend of the 6th so a fresh texlax will be right on time (although I'm secretly trying to find a way to back out of traveling. I just don't wanna). Can you believe we have just under 2.5 months of growing left in this year? And once holiday season starts, that time's gonna FLY!!! I'm not sure if I'll make my goal but, as far as I'm concerned, I'm in the gravy section. Anything I get from this point on is gravy, baby. I said I was gonna up my game for the final lap but, I'm gonna coast and focus on no new bandwagons and avoiding setbacks. I'll be 14 weeks post when I texlax. If I thought I could make it the rest of the year without a setback, I'd try it but, why?
Hairsnob, I'm feeling like you. Just feeling a little hair lazy and getting back on track is easier said than done. I'm just glad we're on the downhill portion of the year. After chugging from the beginning of this year, trying to stay up on my challenges, I'm just ready to coast on into 2011. Uh, but I'll try to pick up the pace here and there. A sista's just ti'ed and sort of bored.
I'm thinking part of the excitement was my obsession with length checking. Since I started going months between and Hiding My Hair....eh. Not so much. So I've posted my last length check in my siggy to try to remotivate me to keep going. I think that was helping before.
Ok, I'm rambling now. Time for bed. Good night ladies. And let's keep each other motivated. I could sure use a kick or two.
Oh, here's something exciting. Looking past the next few months, what's everyone's hair goals for December 2011? I'm hoping to focus on growing my layers out. I'm considering HL but, I don't know if I could handle hair that long on a daily basis. I think I'm going to maintain around WL. What are your goals.

The same for me also. I relaxed a few days ago. Starting next week I'm back on the sulfur. Stay motivated, we only have a few months left!!

NJoy , girl I feel you!! I have been so discouraged trying to access the site and post. This past weekend I couldn't get in the pages kept timing out. I can get in now but it's sooooo slow. I have to walk away and wait for the page to come up. I hope they fix this issue soon.
Your growth has been amazing this year,
You are very close to WL. I'm officially 2 inches from BSl, I'm hoping to make it to MBL by next summer.

Here I grow again!
Ok, so here's my new dilemma. My ng AND texlaxed hair are behaving SO well, and I think the msm has my ng coming in SO soft and managable that I'm not sure what's ng and what's texlaxed anymore. I detangled my ng on Sunday and it's been on point since. Now I'm wondering how I'm going to be able to tell the difference enough to relax on the 3rd. I think my hair is forcing me into a transition. **gulp** When it's time for me to relax, I'm usually paranoid about breakage at the point of demarcation but, I've been doing a low manipulation routine and haven't thought about breakage...yet.
I'm worried that I'll continue to stretch, start seeing some breakage, texlax what might be ng and/or previously texlaxed hair and then not be able to have straight, freshly relaxed hair for my year end reveal. Ugh!!! What's a sista to do??!
I just watched a video of Ms. Kibibbi (sp?) saying that the msm had her ng coming in soft. That's what's making me think it's the msm for me. Is anyone else finding that to be true also? As of today, my hair is on point! But, I don't want no setbacks, lawd, no. smh.
What do you ladies think?

I love the way my hair felt with MSM. And my skin was absolutely flawless, and my joints never felt better. I hate the fact that it made me gain weight.
I can only imagine how it would feel to not tell the difference between the 2 textures. For me it such a sharp contrast it takes all the guess work out. The only thing I would suggest is making sure your ends are well coated with a cond. of some sort. You will most likely have to guesstimate how much your hair grows per month to gauge how far to pull out the relaxer.
If the ng is really soft and you can manage it. Why not transition? I think the only time the breakage occurs from the demarcation line is when the textures are very far apart. Or if the hair is damaged, which we know yours is not. Like for instance, since using this sulfur. My ng is the opposite. It's almost like wire, literary. It's like steel wool at the roots then straight at the ends.
So I have to be suuuper careful not to manipulate it too much and to keep it moist.If you choose the transition route. Just make sure you keep up with your protein treatments to keep that hair strong and you should be fine.

flowinlocks, hmmm, that makes me feel a lot better and makes good sense about the demarcation point. I haven't washed my hair since sunday because I've been up to my eyebrows in work. I've been wearing my hair in 4 braids and not really bothering it much other than taking it each down to remoisturize and comb thru to make sure it's still detangled. We'll see what it looks like when I wash it but, I don't expect to have any probs. Oh, and I have been using the sulfur mix, even tho I haven't washed in a few days. Definitely going to wash tonight or tomorrow tho. We'll see what happens when I let it airdry naked. Maybe I'll be able to notice a difference. *shrugs* Otherwise, a transitioning I will go. But the idea of natural hair scares me, since I've been relaxed for EVER and my hair is naturally thick. Oh lawd. What ta do? What ta do? Ah well. We'll see.

Still going strong on the MTG. I think it helps me from getting colds or having sinus issues (which I don't really have until now) b/c when I use it I don't get sick. As soon as I take a break b/c I need a relaxer or just being lazy, BAM!, I get sick. And I have my coworker using it too.

I guess it would be kinda crazy not havin the 2 textures to judge by. It would make you think your hair is standing still. I can def. see that you have made progress.
I guess the best way to measure would be when it's stretched. Have you straightened it since you have been natural?

Hello ladies. Been a while.
I have been keeping consistent with my sulfur mix. I want to try and add some more MSM to my diet to see if that will give me a surge. But my hair is super healthy and back to the thickness I remembered...lol. I did a mini chop at the salon today to get rid of a little of the processed ends..but everyone complemented me on how nice it looked. But I need to put it in a weave soon cause I'm tired of buns.

I have been using my mixture of shealoe butter and boundless tresses on my scalp 2-3 times a week. I cowash it out in the morning following most of the time. I don't want to go around smelling like sulfur all day long. I think 8-10 hours a night is more than enough time for the sulfur to work - hopefully

How much extra hair growth do you ladies think you get with sulfur products?
I think I'm going to try out boundlessT and maybe join the next challange.

Results really have varied, some ladies receive a inch a month when using sulfur. While some experience no change at all. That's actually why I wanted to do this challenge to see what kind of results people were actually getting. I will say I personally get close to an inch a month from MTG, the others not as much. I haven't tried BT.

I have been applying some boundless tresses to my scalp a few nights a week. I mixed it with shealoe butter for an easier spread on my scalp and less runninesss of the oil all over my pillows while I sleep last night. It came out pretty great and left my new growth very very soft.

Still applying my Bee Mine daily. I'll start back on my homemade mix tonight. I'm really tempted to purchase some MTG for the last part of the stretch.
