Hi. Are you finding it easy to access your scalp with the sulfur when your hair is braided?

How are you applying the sulfur and how often?

I think I'm overmanipulating my hair, and even though I wear wigs 100%, I'm getting a little breakage, so it's time to put my hair on lockdown with braids I think--But I really want to be able to still apply my sulfur oil.
Are you able to do any kind of scalp massages with the sulfur?
 
Im getting back on this challenge and will try to be more consistent this time.
I will be using my sulfur mix three times a week on days when i plan to exercise so that i can co-wash :) i will do this for 3 months ans see if I will notice any difference.
 
These are my results from my first day of sulfur to yesterday -- May 1 -- June 30. I'm averaging a little over 1" monthly with sulfur.

Thank you! I've been applying sulfur every other day except from June 1-13, I decided to apply it every day, and it actually led to breakage because I was manipulating my hair too much!!!

So I immediately switched back to every other day and that's what I'll continue to do!

CharlaCongrats on your progress. How often do you wash/co-wash it out?

I just started back using my BT. I've been applying at night & then baggying. Sometimes I co-wash it out the next morning; sometimes I skip a day with the co-washing.

Thanks for the info! Do you cowash the next day? How often do you wash/cowash your hair?

What's GHE?

GHE is greenhouse effect. It's basically baggying, but with the purpose of creating heat on your scalp by applying plastic bag or saran wrap, then applying a winter cap on top of that to help your head create heate while you sleep. This is supposed to stimulate growth just like plants thrive in a greenhouse no matter the environment outside.

I stopped sulfur oil because my fiance told me it smelled bad. I tried to hide it with peppermint oil. What are you guys doing to hide the smell??
 
Is something wrong with me? I don't smell anything! I thought the sublimed sulfur was smell-free.

How do you make a balm?

A balm is basically an oil with something added to it to thicken it up. Examples include shea butter, bees wax or other type of waxes, cocoa butter, etc. My mother used to have a prescription sulfur balm that she used to put on her scalp for her severe dandruff she has at the time. The only issue with that is it was in a petrolatum oil base.

You can use un petroleum also which is much better than petroleum
 
Made a "sulfur butter" with 4oz total of shea butter, jojoba oil and Shea Moisture Reconstructive Elixir. 1/4 tsp sulfur. I don't know the ratio oil to butter I used, but it's very creamy.

Its a little easier to apply to my hair than oils which its too easy to make a mess, have it run down my skin, or get too much on the length of my hair.
