MSM Powder, MN, biotin-anybody done any of these together?

[BoaterGirlKim]

I used MN 4% on my scalp briefly at the very beginning of my HHJ a year and a half ago and it gave me a nice start, filling in my near-bald edges and back. I've since realized that I'm a slow grower no matter how well I'm caring for my strands and want to kick things into a higher gear. I started Natural Balance MSM powder 4,000 mg per teaspoon last week, and I'm thinking about adding MN back. I also used biotin along with B complex at one point and believe it gave me a spurt, too. Has anyone done any or all of these together in combination? I did a quick search and nothing related to this subject jumped out at me.

Hey there! I use a combination of MN, MT, sulfur powder and BT. I think it has given me some growth. Maybe I'm just impatient,but it doesn't seem to be working as quickly as it did for me when I first tried it. I currently have my hair straight and am not sure what I'm going to do with my hair after Sunday. I might go back to 2 strand twists, I like those, or get some braids. I just don't want to sit for an entire day to get them done and they are so heavy. I don't know what to do.

Anyway, I've mixed them and haven't had any adverse effects from them. HTH!

I think BT is Boundless Tresses. It's another sulfur based product.

 

[phyl73]

Yes that's it. Boundless Tresses. Are you going to try it?

Looks like I'll have to give up the MSM. I've been taking it for about a week; last night I had to go to urgent care because my tongue was swollen and my airway shrunk to the size of a dime. Doctor said she thinks the MSM could be the culprit as sulfur allergy is not uncommon and side effects aren't always immediate.

Yes, Krystle, I'm fine - just on prednisone for the next 5 days. Thanks for the concern!
