Some ladies did use sulfur in place of onion and garlic seed oil and achieved pretty much similar results. Onion and garlic seed oils are used because of their high sulfur content so yeah sublimed sulfur would be a good substitute, just be careful not to add too much as it can cause your hair to fall out.

Oh heck let me just post what I think I got. I used my own formulation which i made since I had all of the ing except for the garlic and onion oils (I used MSM instead since that's what I had at home).
I used this since I think the 30th of May? Then stopped for like three days. So first pic is 29th of May and second pic is 10th of May so total of seven days usage. I tried to take pic in same position etc and I pull my hair as much as possible to make sure shrinkage isn't fooling my length.

It is, so the prices are really high? how much does it cost to make? I have no want to make this and if it smells i know i won't be allowed to use the kitchen.
i've never cared for growth aids. didn't believe they worked or i was too lazy/cheap to care. but i'm curious about this.
can someone tell me how fast you go through it? I'm thinking of buying some next month (if the prices don't jump) but i don't want to buy 8 oz and be done with it in 1.5 weeks. If it's like that i'll stick to my .4" growth

brg240 Hi, well for a 32 oz it's like $70..
First no shade to the potion. I have never bought it. I make my own version and the ingredients in the potion are known for hairgrowth. My hair has never flourished better. And the reviews are very positive. An inch a month is not uncommon. So yes it works (for most)
The making costs for me (and I also infuse the oil with horsetail and nettle besides the black tea) is like not even $10 with all the ingredients per 32 oz. You do the math.
For smell I use a blend of Rosemary, Lavender and Mint oil feels nice in the scalp and smell really nice!

Where do you purchase your supplies? I'm starting to think it'll be more cost effective to make.

I'm curious to know for anybody that made it, did they keep the tea packets intact so they didn't have to strain the oil for the loose tea? that seems like it would make making the potion way easier.

Yeah but then you'd have trapped oil on the tea bags... Just seems like it would waste oil.

Well I'm lucky. I live in Europe (lots of multi-cultural shops) I buy black tea from a Chinese shop. It's loose and really black. Smells soooooo strong. It's like 250 grams (almost 9 oz) for like $3. they usually put like 1-2 grams per teabag (like lipton does). So that's equivalent to 100-200 teabags.
All other products (oil,herbs) are bought locally at Turkish or Morrocan shop. I buy sublimed Sulfur 29 oz for $5.
I buy Castor by the Gallons..You might make a large investment first but if you stretch it out over several batches you will save money. The initial investment will be less than the $70 she charges for a 32 oz bottle. Believe me!

How much sublime sulphur are you putting (in place of garlic and onion oils) into the mixture?- i.e. how much sulphur per quantity (oz or litres etc) of potion?..... I have all the ingredients handy, except the onion and garlic oils and they don't sell the tinctures in my country
only the dilutions 
in advance
ETA: to add mention

Well everyone so far the potion isn't doing much for me, so after I finish up what I have I won't be buying anymore and I'll be adding some sulfur to what's left to see if it does anything. Another reason I won't purchase again is because of the ridiculous price hikes, I mean daaang!

Im with you on that 100%!!! Another member posted in here that she did the math and came up at $10. I did the math to make my own (with the sublimed sulfur in place of onion oil) and I came up at about the same price. So no....I have my 4 oz bottle that Im going to use up and then that's it.
Also, has anyone else noticed something about JBCO? This stuff separates. There's some sort of black ash that separates from the oil. There is a black castor oil from jamaica called Eyl castor oil and it's the real deal (disadvantage: ships from jamaica and takes a while to get to you) it doesn't do what JBCO is doing. I noticed this before only the sky knows why I decided to order this stuff anyway.
But oh well, in the end it is cheaper to make your own so ladies please be kind to your pockets and just do it at home because this potion is becoming a hot commodity and she will continually raise the prices.

Ya I think I'll try to make own as well and funny thing is I was gonna buy the 32oz next so I went to the site, saw the new prices, and cussed her out in my head lmao. I think she would make more at cheaper prices but hey whatever floats her boat. Are you gonna make your own? Or are you done with the whole "potion" thing.

Im going to make my own and try to use some of the modifications that a few ladies in here have made. I admit its a good recipe but to keep going up on the prices will not keep many customers.

It is probably so she can keep up with the demand. If she makes 10 bottles at $10 a piece, that’s $100. If she makes 5 bottles at $20 a piece, that’s also $100. You have to remember, she’s probably making this stuff at home in her oven. A higher price is how she is able to deliver in a timely manner and not mess up her new business by having extremely long delivery times. Not sure that I would order “potion” from her if I had to wait 6-8 weeks for it. The prices ARE high… but if she’s smart, they will go down once she is able to keep up with the demand.
Also, the onion and garlic seed oil site she posted on YouTube stays sold out… That should tell you how many orders she is receiving. Raising the price and getting a smaller number of orders is probably the only way she can survive right now…. It’s all about business and bottom lines, nothing personal.

KandyCurls I baggy with Potion every night. I was applying it to the length of my hair but it's somewhat drying (I guess because of the black tea). So I'm trying to decide whether if I'm going to continue or just apply to the scalp only.
Those prices are ridiculous, so I don't mind making my own.

I completely agree and I think I know which board you're talking about...
She also just completely dogged doing a BC video and also dogged doing hair measurements properly as well... it's sad that she isn't even backing her product properly.

Is anyone applying their Potion to the length of their hair?
I was but now I'm just applying it to the scalp. It made my hair feel a little coated and dry (but stronger). I'm in the process of making a 2nd batch and I'm trying to decide if I'm going to add Sulfur powder to it. I used Onion and Garlic powders the first time because I couldn't find the oils. (I found garlic oil in the health food store but no onion oil).

I know which board you're talking about. This stuff works (atleast my homemade mix does because I refuse to pay that much money for something I can make at home
) but some of the ladies their are reporting amazing testimony but the pics are usually poor quality so I'm not convinced that anyone has gained 3 inches in 7 weeks. Not bashing anyone, just calling it like I see it. I, however, will continue using my homemade mix because I am seeing some growth.

I got over an inch of growth in a month (far more than normal). I made my own potion. I'm happy and I'm grateful Valerie shared her recipe.

Platinum I am only applying to scalp not the length of my hair, but inevitably the potion still gets in my hair. When my hair is freshly washed and I apply hairdrenaline it makes my hair soft, but after a few days it gets dry and I have to wash it again. Sulfur worked for me in the past as a growth aid, but was very drying. Some ladies are claiming excellent results with adding sulfur to their potion, good luck.
