Register today to view all forum posts.

My sulfur also arrived today and my amla oil the day before. I'll be going to Sally's to purchase a new applicator bottle to mix my serum in. I can't wait!!
 
Used my sulfur last night and a little around the edges this morning.

Um, On another note, I called myself trying to be cute and oil my scalp last night with my sulfur mixture. I figured that by doing my whole head at night, I wouldn't have to worry about the drippies and I could get away with just oiling the edges in the morning.

Well, alas, I fell prey to the drippies today!!!!!!:nono: It felt like elementry school all over again. I discovered that some oil had traveled to the back of my head and dripped on my collar. What a mess. In my defense I must say that I lightly applied the mixture this morning:rolleyes:, so I have no clue how I still had the drips.
 
Just applied my Sulfur mix to my scalp and sprayed moisturizer on my braids. I'll be oiling every night & massaging. I'll be doing this until Dec 25, 2011 :)
*keeps fingers crossed*
 
I've been taking MSM daily but using my sulfur mix sparingly. I told DH that my hair is going to stink once or twice a week. lol I applied it last night and asked him to smell my hair and he said it smells funny but not too bad. Good enough for me.
 
Hey OP can I join?


Starting Length:NL/SL
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: BSB
Regimen:shampoo and deep conditioner once a week, moisturize with kimmaytube mix every other day or so-KISS
Method of Sulfur Application:I've been taking MSM sporadically but will take 1-2 GNC pills a day. Last time I did that I boosted my growth rate big time. Also using bee mine serum every other day.
Other Growth Aids:exercise, water and I will try to sleep.

I'm trying to decide if I will get kinky twist again. Last time I had them in for 6 weeks used my MSM and retained an inch of growth which is great for me because I'm a slow grower.


I will edit this with offical pictures once my bee mine comes in.
I just ordered my Bee Mine but I've been taking my pill everyday for the past week.

Starting Length: SL
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: BSL

I finally got my Bee Mine. I forgot if it was yesterday or the day before, but I know I used it the day I got it, but not since. I will begin to use it every day starting tomorrow.
 
I've been using MSM powder but I'm gonna make another mix using my sublimed powder and emu oil. Hopefully my hair won't be as dry or greasy as it has been with the MSM powder and my other oils. I slacked off on applying my mixture earlier in the week but I applied it on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm trying to do it everyday but that's been kind of hard to keep up with since the moisture level in my hair has been depleting since my big chop and half the time I don't even want to touch my hair cus it's so dry and just gross. Ugh this is frustrating. :nono:

I'm gonna apply my MSM mixture tonight and co wash then deep condition again tomorrow.
 
If it's not too late, I would like to join.

Starting Length: BSL (not full)
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: WL
Regimen: Co-Wash Daily, buns
Method of Sulfur Application: Sublimed sulfur mixed w/ EVOO or JBCO, or some Bee Mine Serum that I need to use
Other Growth Aids: None
 
I applied my sulfur mix Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I didn't put anything on my scalp yesterday, and I probably won't be applying today since I will be washing it.

That's it for this week!
 
i'm no longer bra strap length....i cut off 1 inch on my own but the hair dresser wanted to give me another trim and cut off 2 inches...so my starting length is now above taa taa length...

Got my Beemine earlier this weak did a patch test and was good to go, So far I've used it every other day, massaged in my scalp for about 10 mins and moisturized while my hair is still in plaits I'll prob wash every 4/5 days since I'm backing hw'ing it
 
I have been under the weather and I usually apply my mix and cowash out the next day but since I have been a little under the weather, I have been applying nightly and not washing it out for the last couple days. I will probably wash it tomorrow though. I think I already have growth. I may post my starting pick and an updated pick just to see.
 
I put my mixture on two times this week. I noticed that keeping my hair down and the oil mixture kept my 5 months of new growth straight the whole week! Does anyone know if the sulfur changes the color of your hair? I do notice that it is stripping my colored rinse :( I will be washing tomorrow and braiding my hair down. Will be wigging all next week.
 
Hey Ladies, checking in. I went back to the sew in for New Years and I plan on keeping it til the end of the month..unless I find the mommy wig in the BSS. Finishing up my BT, applying it daily..... sometimes twice and baggying everyday cause I have curly hair weave and I discovered baggying helps keep the weave curls fresh!! I got the itchies like crazy, but I digress.....my braids after two weeks are loose, I wonder if its growth or the moisture loosening them.

Time will tell, happy hair growing!!!
 
I'm going to cowash today and start applying my sulfur to my braids 2 times a day. Just tosee the effects. Anyone done this before? What were your results?
 
Checking in. Applied mix everyday last week. Co-washed about 4 times and deep conditioned once. Took down beehive cornrows after 3 weeks. I managed to braid a few straight back until I get the beehive redone next week which I hope to keep in for 3-4 weeks. I'm currently wigging it and I find that the cornrows not only help me to apply the oil to my scalp easier, but I'm also discovering that I really enjoy frequent co-washing!

i made my mix tonight because i was getting impatient lol...i used 4oz of grapeseed oil and 2.5 oz of sweet almond oil and 1.5 oz of jojoba and i added eucalyptus, clary sage and rosemary EOs...its so runny...next batch (which i'll probably need again in a week or 2) will be mostly castor b/c i need something thick. i tried, but i dont know if i reached all my scalp, so i cant wait to get this braided up...
 
My starting pic. I suck at pictures but this one was satisfactory for me. This is my new BC'd hair after 2 weeks doing the sulfur challenge, the DC'ing challenge, and some other challenges I may have joined but forgot about :look: . In this pic my hair is in fat twists and it's about 2.5-3 inches all around.

ETA: Please excuse the fuzziness. I did these yesterday but I didn't use any gel and before I did this pic I spritzed with my Oyin J&B, moisturized with my Oyin Hair Dew, QB AOHC and a little bit of mango butter to seal. I may have gone a little overboard :spinning:but my hair is feeling nice.
