Hi Ladies,
I suffered my first setback recently so I'm trying to get back on track. So far so good. By the way, garlic pills work great to stop shedding hair. Anyway, I'm experimenting with a sulfur powder mixture and wanted to get your opinions/experience first. I bought a jar of the MSM powder from the natural food store yesterday. I hope this is the right thing for topical applications.
I opened the jar and the aroma made me want to gag. I was expecting a Sulfur-8 type smell but it was more like morning breath. Is this normal???
I don't want to take anything extra internally because my hormones and acne are finally in tune and I don't want to risk shaking things up. So I was gonna mix this powder with Castor Oil and apply it to my scalp only. I haven't done it yet and I hope it works. I know it can dry your hair or scalp so I hope I can keep it moisturized at the same time.
The past couple of weeks on my scalp I've been using castor oil, a little leftover Sulfur-8 grease (I can't wait to toss this grease) and occasionally Nioxin scalp therapy. I do feel a very good amount of new growth since doing this and I'm only about 3 weeks post. But I can't deal with the idea of using that grease which feels like Vaseline clogging my scalp. Oh yeah, I broke open an MSM capsule and tried to mix it in the oil but it didn't mix well. I hope this powder mixes better than the capsule. If not, I wasted my $20.
Here's my question. I plan to color with a rinse tonight and I'm wondering if Sulfur interferes with color the way that it can interfere with your relaxer? I bought a brand new jet black half wig I wanted to rock tonight and I need to refresh my color to make it blend well.
Any tips or suggestions on mixing this MSM powder for topical application? I plan to do this every night, is that too often?
TIA
