sulfur challenge, 2011 edition

But when I shake it doesn't seem to combine still...its still separated...but one thing I did do was...

Instead of keeping my bottle up I put it upside down so the sulfur is at the top n not settled at the bottom

Hey yall.
I took a few days off from my msm pills but I'm glad that I have them back. Also my bee mine samples have come in. I can't wait to use them. Just got a trim so once I find my official measuring shirt I will add a starting pic.

Question: how much growth have yall seen in a month? I saw a bunch of ppl getting half an inch in two weeks but I'm wondering does the growth slow down after that.

Thanks for keeping me on track.

The question was for anyone so thank you for answering QueenFee :).
How many mgs was in each silica tablet? Did you say you got great growth from both msm and silica or just msm? And was it normal silica or bamboo silica?

Hey! The MsM was 1000mg and the silica was horsetail at 450 mg per tab and I took one three diff times a day...the silica helped my hair and nails grow faster but I believe the msm prolonged the growth period so instead of getting 1 inch in that month I got a inch and a half...I dnt really talk abt it because I have no pics to support but my hair and nails were growing so long! I was amazed! I stopped taking both for because I'm low on $$$ but when I get more I will stock pile those joints.....the second month I didn't take silicajust the msm and got 3/4 inch growth....HTH=)
 
I've been using my sublimed sulfur for the last 3 days. I mixed 2 teaspoons in an 8oz oil mix of castor oil, olive oil and jojoba. I added essential oils lavendar, cederwood, and rosemary.

I apply each night on my scalp and massage for 3-5 minutes. I co-wash twice a week.
 
Checking In, will update with pics when I take some this week...

Starting Length:A little past shoulder length
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: BSL hopefully on my way to MBL
Regimen: wash/dc weekly, sometimes co-wash during the week, trying to up that if my fine hair can take it..
Method of Sulfur Application: sulfur mix ( Right now using my trial mix of 2oz oil ( castor, olive, neem, tea tree and 1/4tsp sulfur) Will mix bigger batch once this is done
Other Growth Aids: I have MTG I may either mix this in with the above Sulfur mix or do MTG on alternate nights.

Checking In

I cowashed twice this week and will be washing and deep conditioning tomorrow. I have been applying Glovers Mane everyday this week and taking msm and biotin almost daily. I'm about 14 weeks post and thinking about relaxing in 2 - 3 weeks. I was going to wait until April but this new growth is off the chain :drunk:
 
hi all.
just checking in.. I am still applying my mix 3-5 days a week. I am doing my fist twist out for work and if it comes out decent I may post a pic. I am about 2.5 mos post and I got some crazy new growth and this is coming from some one who went on 2 separate 1 yr stretches. I am trying to do a 6 mos stretch right now and I dont know if I will make it.

The one thing I'm hating soooo much is that my jewelry is turning black :(

i sleep in all my earrings except for 2 holes at the bottom because i have too many and i dont like taking them out and putting them back in everyday, so when you said that i took 3 of them out randomly & the posts were all black =/...so then i took them all out, and it only happened to the silver ones, not the white gold...i never thought about the oxidizing properties of sulfur until now.

i havent measured my hair, but i know its growing because before my sides used to hit right at my chin, and i pulled a piece today and it went atleast 1/2 inch past it...i'll measure with a ruler next week, hopefully i got atleast almost an inch since last time! last week i started taking bamboo, msm powder (i love this b/c i mix it in my juice and use it to take my other pills, so its less pills to swallow and i can do it all at once), a multi, and barleans essential woman (which is a 3-6-9 EFA combo), but i dont think its been long enough to make and impact
 
He ladies I applied my sulfur mix tonight. I was so bust last week that I only applied the mix 3x; I will get back on it this week. I will also have to mix up a new batch soon.
 
It was wash day so I applied my sulfur mix tonight. I added an oz of aloe vera to my sulfur mix because I notice more shedding than usual. I have been taking garlic supplements but I guess it hasn't kicked in yet or I haven't been taking enough so I am upping my garlic dosage. Hopefully this will help slow the shedding I'm getting. I also added 1tbsp of garlic powder to my pre-poo hoping that helps some too.

Because of the shedding I think I'm going to go back to 3-5x a week. I think everyday may be too much until I get the shedding undercontrol.
 
I applied my BM Kiwi Strawberry Serum last night! My scalp is really flaking, so I am hoping a secondary effect of using sulfur will be less dandruff :) Bc my scalp is outta control :nono:
 
I made a new batch of sulfur mix using 1 heaping teaspoon of sulfur with 1 oz of melted shea butter, 1 oz of melted coconut oil, & a 2 oz blend of grapeseed, castor, sunflower & safflower oils. After mixing, I put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

I now have a creamy sulfur butter that doesn't drip! The sulfur is also fully incorporated into the mix, no shaking required :-)

Thanks to the sis who recommended this!

Just checking in. Still applying my mix every morning. I'm not co-washing frequently like I did last month (3-6 times a week), rather I'll wash and dc every 2 weeks. I have 3 weeks left with my current cornrows, then I will do a length check and comparison.

i think sulfur is making my new-growth darker, or running off onto the length of my hair and making it lighter...my hair used to be dark dark dark brown/off black/black, but now the length is a lighter dark brown with some reddish tones to it in the light, but the roots are really dark, like you can see a line of demarcation and everything...anyone else experience a color change?
 
Checking in and oiled my scalp with my sulfur 8 tonight. I cowashed last night and tried the kimmaytube lv in but really did'nt like it much. I made it exact as per her instructions. It was a bit greasy for me. But I am in love with the growafrohairlong lv-in detangler tho! I also massaged my scalp for 10 min. before I baggied.

Oh, I also think I will stick with washing my hair as before and dc instead of the cw.
 
Eating every1 of my words from a few pages back...i didnt think i would get the growth that I did my first time using sulfer....I have been using mt jbco for a whiile on my edges with slow growth. Now dnt get me wrong...mt works well on the rest of my head but slow on my edges. I decided to add some sulfur oil to the mix and in a matter of a week I noticed the bigest spurt I've had on my edges in EVER. I will post a compare and contrast pic next week...Keep up with your sulfur ladies its working wonders with my edges.

Used my mix last night, woke up with the tinglies/itchies this morning, lol. I'm excited to see what using Hemp oil (ceramides) will do to my newgrowth as well. I love it cuz it's thick enough not to drip, but not too thick where it leaves my hair super gross by the end of the week.
 
Two more weeks of sulfur use before I'm stopping to get ready for my relaxer.
Trying to go hard and get as much growth as possible.
 
Update I really like this batch of sulfur mix

AVG (moisture and reduced shedding)
JBCO (Growth)
Shea Butter (Nilotica) (moisture)
Emulsifying Wax (so I dont have to shake my mix each time)
Sulfur
Germall Plus (preservative)
 
What is AVG and where did you buy your Emulsifying Wax and Germall Plus? Thanks.

Used my mix last night. Thinking about adding almond oil or something, for a better scent. I have peppermint oil in it, but it somewhat gets lost in the hempseed oil scent. Maybe for my next batch.
 
Still applying my Bee Mine Mango serum almost every night followed by a scalp message. I cowash it out in the morning. My hair seems to be growing but I am not sure if it's any faster. I'll see what happens when I do a length check in February.

I was getting it from texasnaturalsupply.com but I am so miffed with their TERRIBLE customer service (2nd time) that I have switched my hard earned money over to fromnaturewithlove, lotioncrafter, and newdirectionaromatics:)

Lotioncrafters has the best price from those two particular items. Alot goes alittle way for both items. When using preservatives it only works if the original container is sanitized first. For glass you can use boiling water for plastics I use alcohol. I also used only about 2-3% emulsifying wax. My mix is very creamy not runny at all. HTH:)
