7)Put hair in pony tail applied vasline to the ends put in a bun and baggied my bun

That's what I'm talking about. I am ready to see some goals hit! Congrats.
 
Can I join? Just got my sulfur and I added 1/2 teaspoon to 4 oz of oil consisting of sweet almond, JBCO, and jojoba. My sulfur doesn't smell at all
 
Does anyone have an itchy scalp when using their sulfur mix? I know my scalp is not dirty because I just co-washed the wednesday night, but it has been itching me today.
 
Ladies, how much did you grow in your first month of using it? It's been four weeks since I started and I don't see any difference in my growth rate. I'm hoping I will start seeing a difference in the second month.
 
As promised, I am posting my 30 day progress of my sulfur mix. I think it is coming along nicely! :grin: The first pic was taken on my first day of use on 12/22/10 and I am at right about the 2 line. The second pic was taken today and I am at right about the 3 line (partially, but I'll take it:lachen:)

So, what do you think ladies?

ETA: I believe if you click on the pics they will enlarge.

@ NYDee, thanks! I am excited to see if I can keep it up, if so, I will be BSL in no time. I think the nightly scalp massages from DH are really helping because my hair normally grew really slow.
 
I am so confused about application...are you ladies applying it to the scalp, massaging and then washing it out? Or massaging it in and letting it marinate? I can't quite find a solid answer/consensus on this yet :feedback: TIA ladies!

BTW-I am using the Bee Mine Strawberry Kiwi Serum, but my sublimed sulfur arrived and I will probably make up my own mix this weekend...has anybody used both? If so, which one worked better?

I apply mine, massage in and let it "marinate". I apply everyday and co-wash every 2 days. If it's a co-wash night I apply after I cowash.
 
@ LilMissSunshine5, I apply mine and massage it in at night and co-wash it out the next day and repeat. It seems to be working well that way for me. I have left it in for 2 days a few times and rinsed it out also. I know a few ladies apply it and leave it in for a few days at a time too. Maybe they will chime in. HTH!

18 days into the challenge and I have to drop out. I can tell this has been working but I can still smell the sulfur and the smell bothers me. I am selling my bottle of Bee Mine in the product exchange forum, it is almost still full.

Sad to see you go. :( Just FYI, I don't think sublimed sulfur has a smell. Or maybe I just can't smell it. I'm curious, now.

Any ladies tried both MTG and Sublimed sulfur? Any differences?
 
^ My sulfur doesn't have a smell to it at all other than the smell of my ayurvedic oils and that has even died down a bit or I am just used to it now. However, the sulfur itself doesn't have an odor to it.
 
I think my sulfur stinks. It's not awful enough for me to quit using it though. DH says it doesnt stink and I need to quit trippin but I know it smells. He's just being sweet.

I apply my sulfur/oil mix to my scalp every other night, massaging it in for 2-3 minutes. I CW twice a week & usually water rinse once/week.

Still using my sulfur mix. My growth has been fine so far, nothing drastic. But I'm in it for the long haul, I'm using this sulfur till it's gone!
 
I'm not in this challenge but i read some complaints about the smell and thought i should post virgin coconut oil 100% pure and amla oil gets rid of the sulfur smell i use it with my mtg. i use half a jar about 6oz for every two cups of mtg.or just add as much as you want until it smells good to you.
 
I was using the front of my hair to measure growth, but I trimmed last night to get rid of some pointy ends. Time to start over:( next check point Feb 22nd... reg MTG and bee mine :)
 
I tried putting sublimed sulfur in jbco and it keep separating and when i shake it it still seems separated....anybody have this problem?

Answer to question 1: I usually apply my mixture to my scalp (ONLY!!!) and then I massage it in. I let it sit there. I usually don't wash it out until it's wash day.

Answer to question 2: I have used both sublimed and BM. Currently, I am using my sublimed mixture, that way I'm able to add my aryuvedic herbs to it. I can't really tell you if one works better than the other, I just know that I got tired of paying for something that I could make on my own. Don't get me wrong, I love the BM and would purchase again, but what can I say. If you need help making your mixtures, I know that I use NJoy's mix, but others have recipies out there too.
