sulfur challenge, 2011 edition

mine lightened a little! its really noticible in direct light, but not as much otherwise...it went from near near black to a lighter dark brown...idk if it was the sulfur, or some EOs...



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.

Thanks for the microwave tip.. Let me know how your mixture works out for you.. Sounds like a great mixture you have there.
 
Have been only using my sulfur mixture once a week vs twice for the past few weeks :spank: but am planning on applying tonight and massaging scalp before putting in some 2 strand twists again. I haven't had much shedding or lightening thank goodness!
 
I added castor oil to my hemp/sulfur mix (1 oz hemp oil, 2 oz castor oil, 3/4 tsp sulfur). No more runny mess!
 
Checking in, I am still applying my mix and massaging it into my scalp nightly. So far so good. I will probably do another length check again on the 22nd. I want to see if I get another inch. Thats roughly what I got between Dec 22nd and January 22nd. I have been doing well with consistency!
 
I just joined this challenge. I mixed some sublimed sulfur with peppermint oil, jbco, and coconut oil. Hope this works out

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

Chamomile is known to lighten hair naturally with continue use....On LHC people use this with honey to lighten hair...Some just use Chamomile as a tea rinse....


Happy Hair growing!
 
Trying to get rid of my BeeMine sulfur mix. The DRYNESS!!! I knew it was coming but....you really gotta make sure your hair stays moisturized.

And I thought I'd only have to oil about twice a week. When i look at my scalp the next day, its like I never put anything on it. Its sucking it up.

I now apply 4-5 times in week.

Yep, this is why I'm giving my sulfur a break...even though I applied to my scalp, it would seep onto my hair, and my roots were very dry and would mat more due to the dryness, which made detangling more difficult.
 
I did, I took liquid msm for a month then the next month I made my own liquid msm from the powder and distilled water... My hair sprouted like crazy and I kept weaves and braids in as a protective style.when I would take my hair down from the weaves I would get so much shedding.... Handfulls of hair. I got the length but I thought I was going bald. But I did an intense moisture protien balance treatment and it stopped shedding almost instantly.

Just checking in I haven't applied my mix or done anything to my hair in about over a week cuz my Mom passed away, but I'm gonna jump back into it soon.

Could u tell us what brand of the liquid msm you used and where did you purchase it from? TIA
 
took my twist out and finger combed....discovered lots of shed hair....going to cut back to applying the mix from everyday to only three times a week...
 
I am getting twists put in on Wednesday. That plus all this talk of shedding worries me, so I think I will use the Bee Mine three times a week as opposed to every day. Maybe look into a garlic supplement. I hope to notice a difference!

Im so sorry An-gell. Will be thinking about you and your family.

I have been lurking for a while but getting back on track as of today.:yep:
 
My application is not consistent. Right side has more growth than the left. Bought more herbs for a new batch. Gotta work on other side.

Getting ready to restart sulfur application!

On a side note, I did not experience any burning during my relaxer and I only stopped application for one week and based as per usual. So from my experience, I would say that one week is enough time to wait to relax after ceasing sulfur application.
