The ratio is 2 tsp of sulfur to 8 ounces of whatever ingredients you choose to mix. Hope this helps if someone was unsure of how much sulfur to mix

Other Growth Aids: I take a multivitamin and biotin. Also try to drink a lot of water, exercise, and eat enough protein (esp eggs, I don't know if it aids in growth, but I've read eggs are good for your hair; I usually eat one whole egg mixed w/1 or 2 whites several times a week).
