sulfur challenge, 2011 edition

I got a PM requesting the actual recipe

Sulfur Mix: 2oz AVG, 1oz JBCO, 1oz Shea Butter (Nilotica), (1tsp)0.2oz Emulsifying Wax, 1tsp Sulfur, 1/4tsp Germall Plus
 
Thanks to those who mentioned adding avg to their mix. Will be adding it to mine to see if it cuts down the drying in my hair and scalp. Other than the random spurts of weird gray hairs, I don't think I have seen a difference in growth. But, I will see after length check next month
 
Checking in...applied mt MTG tonight after my DC. M&S with olive oil and shea butter
 
Hi ladies, I was wondering if anyone knows where either locally or online where I can get sublimed sulfur in Toronto? I was resisting asking here until I figured it out myself but at this point I've called 5-6 pharmacies and checked online and I can't seem to get it ordered here. The one website I did find (americarx.com) wanted to charge like $20 shipping for a $5 item. If there's nowhere better I'll probably have to get it there but I'll be very salty about it, lol so just thought I'd ask.

Hope everyone's doing well with their challenge!
 
I've only lived in Alberta and the Maritimes, so I'm not really sure about what kind of things Sobey's stocks in Ontario, but I was able to call my local Sobey's and order pure sulfur from the pharmacy. I bought 100g and it was about two and a half dollars.

Hope you're able to get some locally! :grin:

Morning Ladies!

I had to stop taking my MSM for a while because I'm currently taking antibiotics for a bad sinus infection. I was afraid to mix the two together.

Has anyone else on here continued to take MSM while on antibiotics?

I am not sure which challenge I still need to post starting pics in so I am posting pics in all of the ones that I am in. I am sorry if I added pictures already, but you can take these as my 3 months post bc update , I can tell that I have some growth because my undetangled (tangled?) afro his bigger than before. The first two pictures are from 10/06/10 when I BC and the other two are from yesterday.

I visited my stylist last sunday and she complimented me how fast fast my hair has been growing and how healthy and thick it is. Thank God for MT so i asked her if she really thought it was growing she said "Oh yeah i would not classify your hair as the slow growing type, now thats good news for me cuz i always thought my hair was in the slow growing category. I'm not sure if the women's one a day and spirulina are contributing to my growth rate. I take seven 1000mg of spirulina almost daily so that could also be adding along with my MT sulphur mix. If i can keep consistent with my 4X per week application, then i can definately achieve APL in 18mths.

Thank you soooo much! :grin: I never even thought of Sobey's cause the one in my neighbourhood didn't have a pharmacy but one near my work was able to order it for me and I picked it up today. They only had 500g so it was $10 but I doubt it'll ever run out so it's all good. thanks again! I really almost gave up.
 
Ladies, I think the sulfur is working.. The beginning pic was taken on 12/31 and the second pic is now... the pic taken on the 31st was right after a trim turned haircut! lol Overall, I'm pleased with the progress I've made in one month. I will definitely continue with my sulfur.

I ordered my sulfur from amazon.com.. you can search for sublimed sulphur. IBasically I make sure I mix 8 fluid ounces of oil (olive, castor, ayurvedic and essential oil rosemary) with one teaspoon of sulfur. (a variation of Njoy's mix)

Can someone help me out...where do I get the sulphur mix from? ...and what should I mix with it?

Just to be clear, is the sulfur suppose to dissolve in oil.... If mines doesnt should I add more oil... Can too much sulfur on the scalp pose a problem? Can it be mixed/ dissolved in water for a tea rinse?

Working towards long, strong beautiful hair.

I think you can only use sulfur with oil, MSM with water. The sulfur doesn't really dissolve in the oil because it always settles to the bottom. I just shake it every time I apply. HTH!

I use Sublimed sulfur in water and aloe and spray it onto my scalp because I'm in a full sew-in. It's definitely growing, but I'm not sure if it's from the sulfur or the vits.

But the sew-in has to go. I think my hair is going to be majorly uneven after takedown.

definitely!
great progress. :yep:
 
I am giving sulfur a break for a little while. I want to see how my hair does without it and I want to start stretching my wash n gos, which I can't do if I am massaging my scalp nightly. I'll prob just use it the night before wash days.
 
i havent been using sulfur for about a week...it was leaking onto my pillowcases and sheets and clothes and leaving black stains...so until i make the no-drip version and braid my hair back up, i wont be using it.
 
I just took down my micros in preparation for my relaxer on the sixteenth. Did a mini protein treatment last night with apHogee two minute. Will probably do another next weekend.
Saturday was the last day I applied sulfur; I want to make sure there is no residue left on my hair.
 
Unfortunately ladies, I'm gonna have to drop out of the challenge. I have so much going on right now and hair is in the back of my mind. Good luck ladies and HHG! :wave:
 
^^Thanks Elle. Between planning a wedding, work, family issues and depression...my hair is suffering. I almost bit the bullet and chopped 9 months ahead of schedule on Friday. The only thing keeping me from doing it is the wedding. Everything will work out :)
