Out of curiosity has anyone experienced shedding while using sulfur?
Click to expand...

Don't know if you saw my last post, but I started experiencing excessive shedding when I was inadvertently using too much sulfur in my oil mix. When I began using thr correct dose (about 1 teaspoon for 4 oz of oil), the shedding promptly ended.
 
Just Checking in. I last nite I did a complete wash and DC. I applied my MTG today
 
Checking in with a photo update. I've been applying my sulfur mix every morning and co-washing at night. I have been in cornrows for two weeks as of today. Sorry, I don't have a pic when I first got it done.

End of week one cornrows

End of week two cornrows (taken tonight)

I would love to think I've had an inch in 2 weeks but the more likely reasoning is loosening of my cornrows due to frequent co-washing. My guess would be about 1/4 to a 1/2 an inch of actual growth. I just started Hairfinity vitamins tonight as a supplement so hopefully that will help increase my growth a well.

For those mixing the MT and sulfur, how much MT are you using? Are you washing it out daily? Are you shedding? I just started last night. I was using MT for the month of December. I am kind of afraid to mix the two.
 
I thought you had to add 8 oz. of oil per teaspoon or it would be to strong... is this not true?

Just wanted to check in. I am thrilled with my progress since starting my sulfur mix. I almost gave up on it bc I initially was adding too much sulfur to my mix and started experiencing excessive shedding (my hair never overly sheds).

I revised my mix to include 1 teaspoon of sulfur with 4 oz of various oils. I haven't measured my hair in about a month, but from my photos it looks like I may have gotten about 1/2" in the last 2 weeks.

I don't want to break any challege rules by posting update pics too early (correct me if I'm wrong and I'll edit this post with pics), but I just wanted to share:grin:

Happy growing everyone!

I'm in! Got two 4oz bottles of sublimed sulfur over Christmas (they were like $1.50 on amazon) and I have about 3/4s of a bottle of 1500 mg MSM and some MSM powder so I need to go ahead and start getting rid of it. And plusI know I'm not the only one who wants to be waist length in a year like NJoy!

Starting Length: Working my way past collarbone
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: Waist length baby! Why not?
Regimen: KISS, I took a break from weaves for a while but I'm back on them for awhile. Wigs are great too, I'll probably alternate between the two as I see fit. I'll keep DCing and cowashing and baggying too.
Method of Sulfur Application:1 tbsp of sublimed in 6-8 oz of my trusty olive/jojoba/castor mix. I might add in some coconut oil for a good smell.
Other Growth Aids:Vitamins, water, working out, LOA and prayer

I use an 8oz applicator bottle, i usually fill it up to 6 ounces i add 2tsps of sulphur to that . I try to was every week or every 2 weeks. I've been wearing a weave since Nov 27th so washing is hard for me on a daily basis since i have a 9-5. I shed no more than my normal amount when i take my weaves down.

Oh i add oils like EVOO, Africa's best carrot oil. I'll post my mix as soon as i remember everything that i've put in it. I hope this helps some.
 
I have an old bottle of MSM I used for my joints,I will be using up for this month to see what effects it may have on my hair. I may re-purchase it again next month depending on the growth and how my joints feel.
 
First check in of the new year :wave:

So my Bee Mine is totally out now :cry: but thankfully my sublime sulfur should arrive soon. Amazon had it for about $1.33 so I got 2 and 2 bottles of Amla oil. I wanted the amla-brahma combo but they sent me just the amla instead. Oh well. I'll roll with it and see what happens. :yep:

Here's my starting/comparison pic. Sorry about the sad flat iron pic, but the humidity made my hair start to revert quicker than I thought so that's the best I could do lol

I don't remember if it was in the 2010 sulfur challenge thread or this one, but someone posted a link to a young lady on fokti who experienced great growth using a sulfur/oil mix. I got the 4 oz oil/1 teaspoon sulfur recipe from her fokti page.

She does a great job of tracking her growth, and even used a measuring tape in her photos :yep: Here's the link to her sulfur recipe: Sulfur Mix

Hope this is helpful.
 
I just added Chobani greek yogurt to this challenge. One of my favs has 16 g of protein in it which is a building block and well....I just love em'. :lick:

hello! curious to know if you added this yogurt to your mix or its just something you're taking?
 
Got my sulfur today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *woot* *woot*

I got a 16 ounce applicator bottle. SO now Im thinking according to bride91501 's post about the woman on fotki it is safe to add 1 teaspoon per 4 ounces because that gives you a 5% concentration.

But I thought Njoys recipe of 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces was 5%? Someone help me out please lol.

Thanks!

10% of 4oz= 11.34 grams

If 5 grams = a little more than 1 tsp, 11 grams would be about 2 tsp.

So every 4 ounces of oil, for 10% concentration, add two tsp of sulfur to the oil.

So that would be cut in half for 5%..

Hey Iri! Do you mind if I ask why the wait?
Click to expand...

my hair is out and i dont wanna braid it up until atleast next week...i feel like it would be best to use the sulfur while my hair is in cornrows so that the hair is already parted and i can get to my scalp easier...i think if i used the mix with my hair out, more would get on my hair than my scalp...
 
I'm pretty loyal to the sulfur products,so I'll join this. I'm using bee mine now,but I'm going back to bt when this is done
