sulfur challenge, 2011 edition

Ok. I fell off for awhile. Between strep throat, a head cold and trying to catch up with school I didn't have anytime to apply my sulfur mix.

But I'm back and going to go all the way this time. I'm determined to reach BSL by my birthday (October) but hopefully before.

After washing last night I applied my sulfur mix. I also used Qhemet Biologics AOHC which has MSM in it.

I will be going to vitamin shoppe tonight to get some more MSM pills (ran out last week).

I also got a trim Feb 14th so I will update my siggy with a new starting length when I get home tonight.
 
Finally got my sulfur mix together!
I mixed:
1tsp of sublimed sulfur with
3oz of grapseed oil
5oz of Castor oil

Applied for the first time last nite.
BSL here I come!!

Hi Ladies,

I am late but I need something to remind me to use my MTG. I am going to order my sulfur today and alternate use until I see which one I like best. So do I use it daily as my scalp oil?

Current stats in my siggy. I have layers to grow out. Goal for Dec 2011, get six inches on my shorties that are less than 10 inches. Gain 3 inches + on my canopy and front fring. Hope some growth on lower layer any amount.

Will start today with MTG. Will check in again when I receive my sulfur powder.

Thank you for this challenge.
 
I'm joining. I ordered Hesh Shikakai and Hesh Brahmi Amla Oils and Sublimed Sulfur powder today. s/b able to start on sunday. This is all new to me.
will try a mixture of 10% sulfur powder +10% Castor oil + 40% Amla + 40% Shikakai for nightly applications to scalp. if this is too oily for my once a week wash regimen i will use a mixture of 10% sulfur powder with 90% aloe vera juice to alternate with the oil mixture. I'd really appreciate input if someone sees any issues with my formulations! :D

ETA- Ok so the Hesh has mineral oil. That ish is going back. Looking for alternatives, still hope to be ready to start by sunday.

YoursTrulyRE I am so glad you are feeling better. I know what you went through with Strept Throat, I had it back to back late last year and it is very painful. On a brighter note, it looks like you are ready to hit the ground running with the sulfur!
 
I posted in my other challenges that I am debating whether or not to relax. I stopped applying my mix 7 days ago but I am still taking MSM. I am 12 weeks post but I really want to go to 16 weeks. The thing is, I have been shedding a little extra and I figured it is because of the increased growth from my mix but I still really want to wait. If I have not relaxed by Friday, then I will start using my mix again. I am using my Brahmi oil in it's place until then though. :)

I did a new growth thread a couple weeks ago showing NG five weeks post it is thick. Besides that can sulfur lighten your hair color because my NG is starting to come in light brown now?
 
I used up one jar of my mix and just made another bath that I put in a bottle with sulfur, coconut, avocado, EVOO and Grapeseed oil. My hair won't be straightened until March 31 but I do seem to have a lot of growth. I had about 1 1/2 inches last month. I'll see how I do at the end of March.
 
Hi ladies I have added MT to my mix(1/2 sulfur mix and 1/2MT). So now it is my original Sulfur mix (AVJ, JBCO, Shea Butter (Nilotica), Emulsifying Wax, Sulfur, peppermint, Germall Plus). I was applying it daily but I have went back to 3-4 times per week. I am not in love with the smell but I dont like to CoWash in twists because they get soo fuzzy and tangled at the roots. But I felt a need to switch my reg. wet buns to twists because I feel like the top 1/2 of my head (crown up) is suffering from all the wet bunning. I will give medium twists(20-30) a month before I try to tweek anything else.

prettyhair73 does the coconut oil thicken your mix up at all?
 
I just rejoined this site, it's been a while since I was a member (2008 to be exact) I just ordered some powdered sulfur two days ago and came across this thread today. So even though it is already March, I would like to join this challenge.

Starting Length: I believe I am neck length almost shoulder length​

Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: I am going for APL​

Regimen: I CO Wash every other day, moisturize twice a day with Hawaiian silky 14 in 1 miracle spray and oil scalp with mt and olive oil mixture on the days I don't co wash. I shampoo once every other week. (simple for now until I find a better routine)​

Method of Sulfur Application: I will mix teaspoon of powder sulfur with my MT and olive oil mix to use on my scalp.​

Other Growth Aids: MT​

My starting point pics. First pic-front length Second pic- back hair length Third pic- wet ponytail (Undecided if I will transition or relax again. right now 15 weeks post relaxer)

I ordered 2 jars of sublimed sulfer powder from amazon and I have sulfer 8 grease to alternate between. I bought pure rosewater and aloe gel and a silk elements olive deep conditioner. I also bought niacin, biotin, msm and my hairfinity vitamins. I have my half wigs and and protective styles all ready to go... The only thing I am at a loss for is what does MT mean bc that seems to be somewhat critical in the sulfer regimen? Lol ... Thanks ladies in advance for helping me reach my hair goals. I'm CLAIMING it this year!

Mt is MegaTek
 
Anybody use sulfur 8 LITE regularly? Any luck with hair growth or retention? I just bought it. I think I might be able to tolerate the smell of this, but I just want to know that I'm not wasting my time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing this. I posted this awhile back. My hair is definitely lighter :yep:
 
I had been so good about applying my sulfur mix and massaging it into my scalp, but for whatever reason for the past two nights I haven't done it. I have, however, been taking my MSM powder in my protein/fruit smoothies religiously. I guess as long as I promise to get back to it today it shouldn't be that bad!

It's been a month now since I started both applying the sulfur mix to my scalp and taking the MSM powder and my braids seem pretty loose. I don't think I've gotten a consistent 1 inch all over, but maybe I have in the back. As long as I get more than my typical 1/3" I will be happy!
