Okay I FINALLY received my sublimed sulfer powder, until now I've been using Sulfer 8.... I made a paste for the day (shaeloe as a base, shikakai powder, bhringraj powder, msm, Rosemary extract and sulfer) and an oil for the night ( Alma oil, sulfer, rosemary extract, msm JBCO) I spray my braids with rosewater before I apply it and I wash my braids ( cornrows ) 2 times a week. So far with just the Sulfer 8, I have experienced no buildup. I added the ayurvedic powders because they are supposed to help with the health of not only the hair but also with the scalp. I am keeping the braids as a protective style under a lace front wig at the moment, I have half wig as well but I'm hoping to use the lace front wig consistently for the next 5 months, with mini breaks in between of course. I don't have a hair steamer but I have a professional facial steamer I received as a gift for my grades and attendance in Esthetics school so I will do weekly steamings and instead of aiming the nozzle at my face, I'll aim it at my hair, ( I'm doing that now and it's working out perfectly) If I can gain 4-5 inches by August then I will be happy and on target, my goal more than than anything is to grow out my bangs and then gradually cut off the last few inches of straight hair left from a keratin treatment. It completely straightened my hair, NOT for me... If I can get the kind of growth NJoy got last yer then I can cut it all off and still be grazing WL...
