So I just googled this question and found this article

All About Glucosamine and MSM



I think this may answer our question

"Compared to placebo, MSM produced significant decreases in pain and physical function impairment, as well as demonstrating improvement in performing activities of daily living(13). MSM can be taken orally in pill or liquid form, and is also found in topical formulas. Topical creams with MSM may not offer much benefit, as the heating process may destroy the bio-availability of the MSM. With MSM's ability to allow fluids to pass through the tissue more easily, it works well with other natural compounds to allow for better absorption."

Since we generate body heat I can imagine it having the same effect on our scalps...

^ I don't think it's referring to body heat. If that was the case then it wouldn't be effective taking it internally either. I use it topically and internally. Last month I had 1 inch of growth but I attribute that to the internal use. I do have a short spot and I used the topical MSM on that spot and it has thickened up and has grown some but again it may have been due to the oral use. I mix the liquid formula with emu oil and it does make my growth softer. I only use it about 3 times a week so the verdict is still out but it wont hurt you and it's should still be as effective. There are MSM lotions ect and I know people who have had positive results from using it for issues such as reducing scarring, minimizing stretch marks ect. hope this help a little.

I just started applying it topically but I don't think I've been doing it long enough to see results... but I'd definitely like to know if there is someone out there who has seen results. NICE THREAD, OP!

I will be applying MSM"Trimedica Powder", Aloe vera juice, castor oil, and emu oil on the scalp in one certain spot to see what kind of results I will get. Hopefully it will fill in and stop feeling so thin.

I've dissolved tablet form MSM into an oil which I massage my scalp with.. I guess I've seen growth but then again it is mixed with other things such as cayenne pepper and infused green and black tea.
