sulfur challenge, 2011 edition

^^^ Well I hope you feel better. I'm not sure if it will help but green shakes are a natural mood booster. I drink the ones by Amazing Grass and they make me feel better when I am stressed.

Amazing Grass? Hmm...off to Google I go.
 
Check in. I don't know if it is from the sulfur or all the changes that I have made, but I am getting pretty good growth. Below is a picture of my growth with braids since using sulfur. I should mention that it has not even been an entire month yet--more like half a month. My mother braids my hair to my scalp first and then finishes the loose plait, so I can't fake the growth. My finger is where my braided hair starts. I will definitely make my goal of BSL by the end of the year if it keeps going like this.

I thought going close in would let you see it better. No fooling around here.

Your curls are so shiny and healthy looking...I just ordered my sulfur from Amazon! Can't wait to start using it.

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)

Are y'all using liquid or powder sulfur?

although liquid sulfur seems like it might propogate through my mix more evenly..

applying sulfur mixture every other night. I wash my hair weekly. It is just too cold and my new growth is too much for me right now to wash more frequently.

I cowash on Wednesdays and Fridays. I do my full routine shampoo, DC, etc. on Sunday. Between that time, I moisturize and seal everyday. What I use on top of the BeeMine Hair Growth Serum is Shescentit scalp spritz to make sure that I am putting something moisturizing over the sulfur.

This mix separates soo much...what r u doing to make it mix better?

I put coconut oil in my mix and I keep the mix where the temperature is below the cocnut oil's melting point. The other oils in the mix keep the mix from turning completely solid must it does stay thick. I just shake well when I am ready to use and it does not come out runny.
 
twisting my hair for the next four weeks....started watching natural85 yt videos to help me maintain and define my twists....thank you natural85!!!....also started applying my sulfur mix to my scalp again this past sunday after a three week hiatus...
 
Haven't applied my mix in over a week. My hair has been straight but I'm washing it tomorrow so I will apply it then. I have been taking MSM powder though.
 
I may be crazy but has anyone noticed that their hair is lightening? My hair is normally darker in the winter and is dark brown. During the summer it lightens a bit.

I have been applying the mixture to my temples and scalp. The hair on my temples are blondish. I'm not applying it to my hair so I don't know where the streaks are coming from. I have had a few people ask me if I colored my hair.

It may not be the sulfur itself but the herbs I infused the oil in?
 
^^^^ Hey Honi! It's possible that it is the herbs that you've infused into your oil. The sulfur shouldn't lighten your hair. What herbs are you using?


Update: Still going with my sulfur mixture. I'm proud of myself...I've actually been consistent with using it 2x per day everyday.

I think you're right. I used a bunch :look: burdock root, nettle, chamomile flowers (this may be the culprit after some research), fenugreek, marshmellow root, dried yarrow and some others I can't remember

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.

You can make a cream base mixture instead of oil.. Use some butters like Shea, mango or Aloe.. Just mix the sulfur and some oils to that and that should with no more leakage.

You can do 8oz to 2tsp of sulfur.. I haven't even started yet I been working so much OT I have to find the time over the weekend..

You can do 4oz of what kind of butter and the other 4oz in oils..

Mix the butters with the sulfur together.. then add the oils still stiring and then zap in microwave just to melt it a little and then let that sit and it's ready..

Just a quick update. I'm still messaging my scalp almost every night with Bee Mine. I have a party to go to this Saturday so I'm thinking about straightening my hair and doing a length check to see if this stuff is making a difference.
 
I haven't applied my sulfur in a few days. Well, there's MSM in Anita Grant's rhassoul deep condish so may that counts. I used that yesterday. I tried it in a new way since I'm out of oil right now (well I have some but I use that oil for my face and I don't want to use it on my scalp.). I mixed some sublimed sulfur with half a bottle of Oyin Juices&Berries and I would apply that to my scalp. I think I prefer doing that instead of oil. Oil is too much for my scalp. I need to stock up on some more Juices&Berries anyway since I'm about to put in twists so I'll get a couple extra specifically to mix with my sulfur or MSM
 
Is anyone experiencing a lot of shedding?? Although my hair I growing I feel like I'm shedding a bit much.

I am. I took down my 4 weeks cornrows and shed so much. Now I'm thinking of trying some of the tips in this thread about adding aloe vera and other things to curb the shedding. In the mean time I'm doing black tea rinse and using Alter Ego Garlic deap conditioner. I will find out if there is any improvement when I take down my cornrows.

thanks for the tips...actually this morning i melted like 2 oz of shea, 3 oz of coconut oil, and the rest JBCO & bhringraj oil...i shook the oils up then put the sulfur in a container and poured the oil over it and shook it up for a few minutes and put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes...its like the perfect consistency of a pomade/grease...i only used a tsp of sulfur, but next time i will use 2...melted the shea and coconut oil in a color applicator bottle that i sat in a pot of boiling water for a couple of minutes...i heard that the microwave can take away some of the nutrients.
