I have a question on MSM

[MWilson569]

<font color="red"> </font> Hey everyone..ok..now here's my problem...I believe MSM is suppose to aid to my hair to grow faster which is definately my goal...but I have also read that MSM makes your new growth straighter which I really dont want....my hair is natural and has a wave pattern....I really dont want it to become straight...should I leave MSM out my vitamin regimen or is it ok to take low amounts of MSM to keep my hair growing but not disturb my natural wave pattern ( <font color="red"> </font> note: and if I should take low amounts ..how much should I take???) thanks in advance - Melissa

That's a good question!!! My experience with MSM hasn't been that it "straightens" your hair. It has, however, relaxed the curl slightly on my new growth, making it appear more wavy instead of "nappy."

MSM is good because it also strengthens your hair folicles, therefore increasing the life of your hair's life cycle.

It seems that the average dosage on this board is 1,000 mcg. That's what I currently take. Why don't you start off with 500 mcg and see how it works for you.

its in Milligrams not micrograms So make sure you get 1000Mg not 1000mcg
