2010 Sulfur Challenge

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Can anyone recommend a drug store chain that sells sublimed sulfur? (Like CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens) I'd like to join, but I want to make sure I actually have a sulfur mix beforehand.
Thanks!

If you want to pay for shipping I could ship you mine. IT's a TON left....like basically all of it lol but idk how much shipping is....maybe 5 dollars?

Bumping..... Anymore pics?

 

[grow]

Ah well, I'll just compare to start pic. Here ya go.



I'm pretty pleased with how well my ends are holding up. Second pic is damp with HELTR leave in sealed with hot six oil. This air-dries so soft to me. As I mentioned, I started to flat iron the roots of the nape section but burned my scalp on the left side and said forget it. So, it is what it is for now. Towel is at wl.

I'm holding off my touch up for another 4 weeks. Meantime, I'm officially claiming mbl.

So there. That's my contribution to the update parade. Going to bed now. G'night!

NJoy, THAT IS MARVELOUS PROGRESS!!!!!

how does is feel to be in MBL land?

and it looks so healthy and full and yes, long!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

you grow, Flow!!!

i see that you are ready to "say hello" to BSL land!!!! YAH!!!!!

girl, i am sooo very happy for your progress and thank you for being such an inspiration!!!

KUTGW!!!

 

[grow]

I started using sulfur on July 12th to get me to BSL by Dec 30, 2010 Here are my results so far........

I started off at the 4 on my shirt and now I am at the 7. I only straightened one part of my hair because I am trying to stay away from heat until the end of the year. I hope I can keep going through the next 3 months. Although it's not easy at times, I do feel like sulfur is helping to grow my hair quickly. I also need a trim really badly, but that will have to wait til December as well.

@make_me_over, CONGRATULATIONS GIRL!!!

wow, has your hair ever grown!!!

it has just shot down your back, and i remember way back when and you didn't know if this would even work.

well, you've just proven that it really does work!!!

WONDERFUL PROGRESS!!!

 

[grow]

I don't know that I ever posted a starting pic (I can't get the search thing to work for me right now). But I've had several set backs this year. So this is my latest picture. I took this earlier this month after a relaxer and a cut. I had severe breakage and unevenness in the back. I guess this will also be my startgin pic if there is a 'part 2' to this challenge.

LaidBak, CONGRATULATIONS, GIRL YOU HAVE GOT THE WINNING ATTITUDE THAT WILL BRING YOU YOUR DREAM HAIR!

I SO ADMIRE HOW YOU ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE UP!

YOU CLAIM YOUR SETBACK, BUT YOU CLAIM YOUR COMEBACK TOO, AND YOU ARE ON THE ROAD TO A FRESH NEW HEAD OF GORGEOUS HAIR!!!

I AM SOOOO CHEERING YOU ON THROUGH TO SEE ALL THAT GLORIOUS NEW HAIR YOU ARE CULTIVATING RIGHT NOW!!!

AND YOUR HAVING MASTERED THE USE OF PROTEIN AND NO MORE BEAKAGE IS ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE AND INSPIRATIONAL ASSETS ANY HAIR JOURNEY CAN HAVE!!!

KEEP UP THE MASTERY AND GREAT WORK SUGAR!!!

I really want to get back into using sulfur in my hair it helped alot with growth and thickness.

Do you guys seem to like "Boundless Tresses" or "MTG/SULU" better?

I have both, just trying to figure out which gives you the best results...

Is two times a week adequate? or would 3 times be better?

 

[grow]

Well, here's my contribution as promised. I'm happy with the growth, although I don't know if you can notice it here.

I've been off the mix for a few weeks now due to scalp soreness.

June 2010::start picture:

Sept. shots here:

Here on Sept. 9:: I felt so silly here because I 'm not even up to the first line yet.

Please excuse the mess...as we just moved.

More sharing:

Not a full bun, but a girl can dream until it's real...right?

And this is how I wear my hair most of the time.

TwistNMx, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

yes, all the ng is visible and beautiful!!!

i especially love all these fabulous styles you are doing with your hair!

KUTGW!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Grow, you and Flowin see so maybe it is working. We are our worst critics, so I guess I'll be staying around! thanks

 

[uwrong]

I so fell off durring this challenge I started out going hard and then I got a perm and havent been consistent. I cant really figue out wha I shoudl do with my hair if I use the casteroil and sulfur mix as is makes my hair really oily.. Im confused right now and want to get back in the game.!!!!

 

[NikkiQ]

grow you're just the best!!! I can't wait to see your results

 

[NikkiQ]

I'm just wondering...can you mix castor oil with sulfur? Hmmm.....time for research!

 

[Hairsnob]

I have an update.

I'm happy that I'm finally at or maybe a little past the length I was before I had my setback earlier this year. I don't know if anybody else that had setbacks will agree but it seems like when you have one you don't really feel like you achieved anything until you get past where you were before. It was kinda depressing at first thinking that a whole year was lost since I'm the same length I was exactly one year ago but now I know it's all progress from here. I definitely appreciate my comeback and I think I know my hair now..... I hope

I'm currently about 5-6 wks post and I really wanted to wait till I relaxed to update but changed my mind.

Although I may not have gained a huge amount in length, I love the fullness all over.

I couldn't find my official starting pics so I had to search through my phone for these with dates. I hope these pics show up, I don't see them in the preview post

Yep. My first mix was with Coscata Shikakai oil from Hairveda. It was nice and thick.

Congratulations!! I know exactly how you feel However it's still an accomplishment to have regained what you lost.

 

[flowinlocks]

Congratulations on your progress ladies. To the challengers who have been slacking. We still have till the end of the year to see how much length we can gain. I plan on using my sulfur mix in rotation with my Bee Mine and stay braided and protected under a cute wig till our next reveal.

Thank you so much for that encouragement!!! If I can figure out how to retain my growth for the long term I will be unstoppable-LoL!!

 

[grow]

@grow you're just the best!!! I can't wait to see your results

you are so sweet, sugar! thanks @NikkiQ for the "roundabout" request for my pics, too, hehehe!

girl, i don't know what to do.

i cannot get my forest of ng to lay flat enough for a good length shot, although i did take a pic of just my ends from july to the end of august.

might that suffice?

otherwise, it might be better to wait until i perm in 2&1/2 weeks.....hmmmmm.....

 

[grow]

Thank you so much for that encouragement!!! If I can figure out how to retain my growth for the long term I will be unstoppable-LoL!!

LaidBak, girl you are ALREADY unstoppable!!! claim that because you have tenacity and patience, very precious qualities!

it looks like those braids are really working to retain your length right now!

why not join us in the HYH Challenge, too!

Thanks!! Oh those were flat twists from back in April. I have hesitated to get them again because they pull just a little bit too much on the nape of my neck. Just a bit too much tension. I can't hide my hair because I work out 4-5 times a week and wet or wash my hair after each time. But I do bun 99% of the time. If I can find the right headband wig I'll be all over that challenge this winter!
In the meantime, I am sticking with my internal/external sulfur; I can tell its working. I'll be sealing my ends nightly and hoping for the best.

 

[LaidBak]

My goodness SMH...I washed my hair and went on to put Sulu Max Grow on my scalp as a part of my normal routine. Two hours later I am washing that stuff right back out of my head. I cannot deal with that horrible smell!! Its just overpowering! Blah! Thank goodness I have Miss Claudie's in the stash.

 

[EllePixie]

Hey everyone - question. Has anyone used the Bee Mine Serum and MTG, and if so, is Bee Mine comparable in terms of strength/effectiveness and sulfur content? I'm not trying to walk around smelling like MTG all day but it would be cool if I could wear an oil more than just at night.

TIA!

lol silly! I wasn't hinting at your progress pics now! I was just saying I can't wait to see your progress at the end of the year. just looking at your siggy lets me know your progress will be a total wow moment.

Wow I didn't realize it was that bad. If that's the case ppl might as well just use MTG for the cheaper price.

Yes I have used both MTG and Bee Mine. I would say they are the same in terms of strength of sulfur. However my hair seems to grow faster with the MTG. The Bee Mine smells MUCH better. And they both dry out your hair if you get it on the length.
