when making your sublimed sulfur mixtures do you guys use gloves, goggles, masks to mix the sulfur?
I thought I might ask because on the lable it says to not get it on your skin or eyes undiluted and warns against breathing in this stuff.
I got mine about one week back and am currently waiting to get my protective gear, but I'm still curious as to what everyone else is doing.

Nope just used a teaspoon full to 8oz. of oil. A tad bit sprinkled on my skin and I just rinsed it off. As long as you are not breathing it or it's not staying on the skin for a prolonged time you should be ok.

I see a lot of people are already using or thinking of using MTG as their choice for sulfur. I've been thinking about it too lately but I just can't seem to figure out which one everybody is using.
First I was confusing MT with MTG and then I hear that one can cause shedding and one stinks. So I just gave up after getting mixed up. I think I can mask the stank but I don't want any shedding. I saw a Youtube video of a girl with the one in the pic below and I think that's the one I want to try. Is this what everyone else uses? I want the one you just apply without having to rinse it out.
TIA

Checking in, still doing my own MTG mix alternating with S8 (yellow jar) every few days. Using a Better Braids (medicated, with salicylic acid to reduce flaking/itchiness) spray on my scalp in between apps of sulfur products. Diluted shampoo rinse/CW about once per week. (My natural hair is braided in cornrows beneath LF 4-6 wks at a time, hence the need for braid spray).

just wanted to post an interesting article on msm
In the hair, MSM works with the natural keratin and protein levels of the hair to accelerate the hair growth cycle by extending the length of the hair growth cycle. Since MSM extends the length of the hair growth cycle, you may need to make more frequent trips to your stylist for trims to keep the healthy portions of your hair from overgrowing during treatment using MSM.
Use MSM supplements, which are available in the form of powders, tablets, or capsules, as part of a hair regrowth regimen. While MSM does stimulate the hair to grow, it is important to remember that MSM should be be used alongside other hair-growth supplements such as biotin, as well as shampoos and conditioners, that nourish the scalp to create the best growth environment for hair. The conditioners you use along with MSM supplements should contain natural ingredients, such as stinging nettle root, rosemary, and aloe for proper nourishment in the hair

It tends to stay gritty and not absorb. That was a thread floating around where someone actually dissolved the powder first with boiling water then added it to their dc. That def. seems to be the way to go.

About to use my homemade mix now and I will use my MSM spray on my scalp later.

I think they make some that are crystals, and then some are fine powders - mine is the fine powder and I add it to my DCs and conditioners a lot, as well as my water sprays, and it dissolves.

You can also purchase liquid MSM from the herbal remedies website. I just purchased some and will be using it topically as soon as it arrives

Hey Ladies, I'm still in this for the long haul!! I've just been busy. I've been applying BM to my hair nightly. I know that the back of my hair is growing, but the sides are taking their sweet time.

You know FL, something is helping my hair grow a little faster but I don't think it's the BT. I have not been using it long enough to come to that conclusion as yet.
I do however believe it has a lot to do with taking Nature's Way Kelp supplements. This has also helped jump-start some of my weight loss.
Until I started taking them, I could not seem to lose any weight at all, even with exercise - now I am losing the weight....finally! I am in a very happy place right now because of it.
I do like the BT because it helps to keep my scalp from itching and it keeps the dandruff away, so it has it's benefits. I don't think I will be repurchasing it though. I am too happy with kelp to do so.
I am tempted to replace GNC UltraNourish and Nioxin Recharging Complex with HairFinity vitamins and add it to my vitamin regimen next year. I should be able to start them by maybe February or March when the current vitamins I'm taking will run out.
I am choosing HairFinity because of it's gelatin and high MSM content. I think it has horsetail silica in it also. I can't wait to try them.

OMG everyone said this stuff stink, I put in lavendar oil and it did nothing. What recipe is around for MTG? How many times do you use it? I'm try to play with mixing it with other oils to mask the smell, it a large bottle for $16 and will last me a while.

LMAO!! I know right!!! I use it everyday till my scalp starts getting tender then I'll ease up for a few days. Right now I'm using a mix of MTG, Skala Ceramide leave in to cut the dryness. I even used a tad bit of V05 Strawberries and cream to help the smell. However I'm gonna use it straight with no chaser this time like I use to in the beginning. I'll most likely apply it to my scalp, moisturize and seal the ends, Apply a plastic cap to hold in the moisture and funk lol!! Then tie it down with a scarf and cowash the next day. Sparkle gave me this method with the cap instead of just using a scarf. The smell still escapes that way. This way when you turn over at night you can't smell it. And your pillow doesn't stink.

I've been applying mtg & taking msm. Recently, I have also been focusing on longer scalp massages and hanging upside to increase the blood flow to my scalp. I'm trying to go hard to these last two months. I'm pretty sure I got an inch in October, so my results for November & December should be about the same. I'm itching to straighten my hair to see where I'm at, but I'm trying to be patient.
Flow I am also going back to using mtg straight, I think I got my best results when I did that in the beginning. If you can deal with it the results are amazing. Honestly I'm looking forward to discovering a new growth aid once this challenge is over. Probably still sulfur, but mtg is too hardcore for me for long term usage.
