MY SUCCESS WITH MSM (PIC INSIDE)

Okay Den1, I'm with you on this.

This is what I'll do:

-- I'm going to take pictures of my new growth tonight (I'm currently at week 11, but I don't have alot of growth).

-- Then this weekend I'm going to put my in kinky twists, which I plan to keep in for 8 weeks. But I won't get a touch up until week 23.

-- And then from tomorrow until week 23 (12 weeks/3 months total) I will take 10g of PuritanPride MSM powder along with 5g PPride Vitamin C (spaced out throughout the day. I'm already drinking some 20oz of carrot juice daily.

-- However, I will begin with 5g/day of MSM for the first 2 weeks and then up to 10g/daily in the last 10.

I have 1.5 bottles of PP msm and it's about time I finish them.

What do you think?


Oh yeah, thanks for posting the ingredients your braid leave treatment. I'm going to modify that and make my own.

Actually I talk the talk, but walking the walking is another story if you know what I mean :look:

Yes, being msm buddies would be great! I took my pics last night, but it was a joke. I barely have any growth. I had to use the macro function on my digicam to try to capture and differentiate the new growth from the relaxed hair. But my hair grows funny, based on my last experience stretching my relaxer to 20 weeks, my hair reallly doesn't start growing (faster) until sometime after week 16. Don't know why. :confused:

Anyways, on average I get about 1 gallon of liquids each day. Of that about half is bottled water. Tonight I'll post pictures of my barely-there new growth and then new ones, like you, in 2 months after I take out my kinky twists.

My goal is two-fold:

-- To see if a high level of MSM, combined with fresh-made carrot juice, 2 tsp flax seed oil (daily), supplements, a healthy diet, and exercise with increase my growth rate. I just need to see once-and-for all these things works like people (here and on the Crown & Glory site) says they do. As for easier to manage hair: my natural products only regime has done that somewhat. I'm wearing at bun at week 11 something that I was never able to do before; usually I HAD to get cornrows or braids by week 8 the latest.

-- To use up all the bottles supplements and stuff I'd bought :D

My other posts won't be as long. Thanks Den!

Here are the pics of my new growth:

Dunno what happened :confused: The summer growth spurt seemed to pass me by and six weeks of daily conditioner washes had no effects whatsoever.

I'll post new pics in 8 weeks or so.

That's a lot of new growth, don't et disheartened about how fast your hair is growing you willl suprise yourself when you relaise how much it really has grown, remember the growth draws up the length anyway, especially if the hair is really coily like mine. thanks for sharing. I'd give myself 3 months more months then i'll post some pics of my msm growth, i'm still adding vitamins to my regime lol so i need to give them more time to work.

YES! MSM in your conditioner is a good idea! I was wondering how it would turn out, and everything was great! My hair came out strong - hadrly any shedding or breakage during the washing (I have a serious problem with shedding), and hardly any of the shedding or breaking during the combing. Gotta do this again!

So I'm still drinking my MSM water, but I decided to mix some up to put on my cornrows. So I mixed up a 16oz bottle with 5 tsp of powdered MSM, and am spraying it on my hair nightly. In the mornings, I am spraying my hair with Better Braids braid spray (that I also added a bit of MSM to), so we'll see what happens. I only wash every two weeks - I don't like to wash my own hair when I can get someone else to do it, but I'm too poor to go more often than that - and it's time to go to the salon next week, so we'll see what all this moisture and MSM does for my hair.
 
Den, what brand of MSM powder do you use? I have just finished my MSM tablets and want to use the powder because my research have stated that it is more effective.

Almost 3 weeks ago, i began an intensive MSM experiement to increase growth and to aid a smoother transitioning progress, i've noticed a dramatic texture change in the new hair that is growing through the scalp, its looser and very wavey and i have a lot of growth, I've read posts on ladies experiecing good growth and softer hair but i never thought it would work for me, with all these waves and softer hair i may not ever texturize again. I only have one pic though i took other ones but they weren't as clear, i''ll have some more pics in a few months i want to acheive a good few inches of MSM hair to really show the difference, i know a lot of you ladies are very skeptic,. here's the link http://public.fotki.com/den1/progress_pics/msm_experiement/ pw. myhair

Thanks Den1 :).
 
;) As usual Den, very nice! I really want to try msm but I recalled the last time that I used it, I would get my periods every 13 days!:eek: I couldn't figure out why and immediately after I stopped taking msm this stopped. So it's a no go for me with the msm but I can't wait to try the MTG.:)

its a shame you can't take msm due to its undesired effect on your periods...good luck with MTG, it contains sulfur too, so that should help increase growth rate.

I hope i continue to receive softer hair, i've notoced a big diffrence betyween my msm free hair its much coarser, i'll be able to certainly tell the diffrence in the next few months, i'll keep everyone posted on my progress.
 
Is there less bitterness when using the crystal MSM? I tried the MSM powder once and I couldn't take the taste. I couldn't really finish the glass. And i sooo desperately want to take this regularly because I am one that has the potential to GREATLY benefit from this (less shedding, thicker strands).

So should I focus more on the form (powder or crystal) or should I really just focus on what I'm mixing with (oj, water, cranberry, etc). Can anyone recommend the best form and/or liquid to mix with? TIA!:)
