I just got my powder sulfur, it's yellow and I added oils to it but it looks powdery when I apply it. Does this go away?
 
Just started back on my MSM. I think it was helping with my knees, don't know if it was helping with hair growth.
 
Can I join?
I've been taking MSM and applying a mix of sulfur, MT, emu oil and jbco to my scalp daily since January.
 
I am putting my sulfur mixed with my natural hairobics scalp treatment on now. I am also using my EVOO, avocado oil and coconut oil mixture for the ends and the rest of my hair. Everyone says the sulfur stinks but I didn't smell anything once I mixed it, other than the Hairobics peppermint and other essential oils mixed in.

Yeah, I heard the same thing about the smell before I got started too but I found that it is not the sulfur that smells but whatever it is you choose to mix it with that will determine the smell. Anyhoo, I am sure you will love the results! :grin:
 
I used my bee mine oil a couple days ago and my scalp is still shiny. I think I will decrease my applications to 2-3 times a week.

Ok so this isn't an official check-in cuz I don't know how to add pics but I got about a half inch of growth in 17 days since I started bee mine in conjunction with the msm pills I take. I'm so excited and I hope this growth keeps up. I'm about to start wearing wigs to up my retention.

*Sigh* I am not doing too good at this. I have been taking 4000mg of MSM daily for about 2 weeks (yay!) But last night I decided to up the ante and apply my mix I made a few weeks ago (I tsp sulfur, hazelnut oil, grapeseed oil, sally's argan oil filled up to the 8 oz marker). This morning I woke up with a horrible headache, body ache, hot flashes and stiffness in my joints. I asked my pharmacist if I was having some sort of reaction and she said no, those aren't symptoms and it was coincidence. Soooo hopefully it wasn't and I will try again tonight as my symptoms have worn off. Wish me luck!
 
been applying 2x a week...Had a sew in for 3 weeks(did it myself bad). Now I have another one I'm going to leave this one in for longer hopefully :grin:....

Im sooo sorry...I dont know what to say....My condolences goes out to you and your family...Hold your head up hun....I feel like too many are leaving us just when we need them....You will be okay!
 
Is it alright if I join this challenge?

I was taking MSM orally since the end of July and stopped in January and these past two nights started applying a mix of 1.5 tsp. sublimed sulfur, 40 drops of Orange EO, 4 oz. AVG, and 4 oz. Hot 6 Oil.

I'm taking Nioxin (1 pill), ALA (200 mg), Fish Oil (1-3,000 mg), and 1 tbsp. vegetable powder (sometimes) per day. I'm going to add in a multivitamin and MAYBE my MSM powder back into the mix.

The MSM did wonders for my joints while I was working out, but it breaks me out regardless how much water I drink (100-150 oz even!).
 
Been meaning to get back in here to say that my sulfur is WAYYYYY expired. So for now I can't participate in the challenge. Bummer. If by chance I get some moolah I'll repurchase and be back in.
 
An_gell I am so sorry for your loss! You and your family are in my prayers. Be encouraged, we are all pulling for you!

I really like this challenge between the month I took just MSM and me beginning to apply sulfur topically my hair has really florished
 
Hello! I just wanted to thank everyone for their condolences in regards to my Mother's passing. She is and will be deeply missed everyday, and I was in the process of sharing my natural hair techniques and journey with her. I got all my makeup and hair obsessions from her, she loved looking good because she believed if you looked good you felt good about yourself. Even on days she didn't feel good she would still do her hair and makeup and I know she would want me to continue on with my hair journey. :-) I have jumped back on the wagon, and I managed to apply it twice last week and will start fresh tomorrow with apply it every other day.
 
An_gell - such strength you have. I'm sure your mom was, and is, very proud of the woman you've become.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
 
An_gell, you and your family are in my prayers. I am sorry about your loss.

I have an update regarding the creamy sulfur mixture. It has been about 4 weeks (I think I took the pic on the 15th of Jan) and I gained about an inch. The creamy mixture does work just as well as the drippy mixture.

Gurl that's so good progress in 4 weeks!!
 
I'm lurking on this challenge (I saw it late and I didn't post photos, started Jan. 24.). I'm natural, but for the past two weeks, I've had it flatironed.

Anyway for those with shedding, I have had no shedding: the first week, while it was curly, I applied MT/MN/Sulfur on scalp and put NuGro leave in on the hair, co-washed with Alter Ego (let it sit for 10-30 min) in the AM;
This week, I mixed the sulfur with oil, applied to scalp and put garlic oil (2-3 drops) in oil (2 separate bottles!) and applied to to hair(while waiting for NuGro hair oil shipment). The smell is gone by morning. Pull it back lightly or wear a non-abrasive hair band and go. I think I have seen growth, but I will give it a few more weeks.

Supplements: 500 mg garlic 2x day, 1000 mg MSM 3x day, 5 mg biotin 3x day, Shen Men Hair Skin Nails 2x day.
 
@An gell...My prayers goes out to you & your family...May God hold your hands at this time...

Holy wow that's a lot of biotin and MSM! How long have you been taking this and have you had any side effects?
 
Ooooh... tell me more! I've been wondering if there is an effective creamy sulfur mixture. Do you make/buy it?
