Thanks, @phyl73! I've been using the mix since mid/late January. I am so glad that i started taking pics because sometimes i feel like i didn't get any growth from one month to the next; and then i see the pics and can really tell the difference. i use 2tsp of sulfur with 8 oz of JBCO and pumpkin oil (thanks to @Lita for the 4-1-1 on the pumpkin oil ). next batch i will probably just use one heaping 1 tsp of sulfur with the same oil mix. you've got really good growth, too. how long have you been using it?Coyacoy it looks so much thicker and longer. How long have you been applying your mixture?
hi @tasha5951.....i definitely use all 8 oz of the oil. sulfur can be pretty strong and you don't want to have too much on the sulfur side and not enough oil to mix it with. check out some of the early pages on this thread....i think that it is @NJoy who gives some really good ratio tips (along with several other ladies). you can also find info on how often to wash when using. i apply it to just my scalp using a plastic bottle with a tip applicator (like you would use to apply color) so that it mitigates the chances of the mix getting anywhere other than my scalp. i co-wash after 3 days max of using; and shampoo weekly. i think some ladies may use it as a prepoo but i don't know with what kind of results. that info should be in this thread as well. i can attest, however, as a traction alopecia survivor that this sulfur mix is the truth!! brought a sista back from the brink of disaster!!Hi Ladies,
I'm thinking about starting on sulfur....sorry if this has already been asked but, when you apply the sulfur with oil do you
A- use all 8oz? (that seems like a lot of oil), I'm 2" past SL
B- use it as a prepoo of sorts and cowash like an hour after application or leave it in? (it just seems like the hair would be really greasy.
Thanks in advance for your answers
I alternate days for the sulfur, it does something to my neck...makes it feel tight, itchy so I am trying to be sure the mix doesn't touch my skin but it's good for the growth so far,
I mentioned this in the random thoughts thread but, thought I'd mention it here too since I know sulfur had a part in this.
When I started my hhj in 2010, my hair was freshly cut in layers and my bang was eyebrow length. I just noticed today that my bang is past APL. Officially a few inches longer than the longest layer of my hair was when I started last year. Let me say that another way. If my bang started bald length, it would now be a little longer than the longest part of the starting length of my hair. I think I officially doubled the length of my hair. Yeeeee!
Not sure how long you've been using it but, I had that too in the beginning. I was gonna stop because I thought I might've been having an allergic reaction. It stopped doing that eventually. Just putting that out there.
Njoy when can we expect another inspirational update? (with pix ofcourse)
