Why are some of you ladies applying the sulfur mix at night only to wash it out in the morning? Is overnight enough time for the mix to do it's magic?

For me, I have other things in my hair in the morning. Also, I apply mine as soon as I come home from working out if I am not going anywhere else. That means I could have it in anywhere from 7pm until 7am. Its still 12 hours.

Also, I like to massage it in and since I am natural its easier for me to mosturize, seal and go to bed.

I would guess 1-2 inches but it depends on where you wear your bra.

I applied my sulfur mix last night to test it out.
my head feels fine, so I think I'm good to go.
Has anyone else started using their mix?



Not yet but I might make mine tonight.. I plan to make a cream base for mine with shea or aloe butter..

Hi do you just add butter and sulfur to make your cream mix. I am very interested in making a cream type mix versus straight oil

 

[justicefighter1913]

^^^^yes, please explain how you are making a sulfur butter/pomade!

 

[ycj1]

Please add me too, I will give the specifics before or on 31 Dec 2010. Thanks Btw all of the white looking lint really isn't lint......it's grey! Oh well! I am 100% Natural and shrinkage with my hair is no JOKE

Starting length: CBL
Projected/Goal length MBL
Regimen: C&G method
Method of Sulfur App: Sulfur 8 once a wk/ Sublimed sulfur mixed with hempseed oil/ sublimed sulfur mixed with jojoba oil, I did forget to add MTG, and maybe incorporate my leftover BeeMine if I can tolerate the smell.
Other growth aides: Phyto vitamins 2 a day, spirulina caps 3 a night, biotin 1000mg 1x a day, 2 flaxseed caps at night, 1 cap fish oil a day, B-complex, B-12 tab once a day, I also oil my scalp with JBCO, Shikakai oil, and WGO.
I baggy everynight and also massage my scalp every night as well. Only wash and con once a week. Will be ordering my steamer on 1 Feb, hopefully the discount still applies.

ALSO LADIES I DO HAVE A SOLUTION WHEN APPLYING MTG OR OTHER RUNNY OILS SO THEY WILL NOT AFFECT THE SKIN ON OUR NECKS OR EARS. I FIND THAT USING A COTTON BALL HELPS TREMEDOUSLY AND YOU HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT YOU APPLY TO THE SCALP. WHEN I USE THESE OILS WITH/WITHOUT THE SULFUR I SIMPLY POUR ON THE OILS TO THE COTTON BALL/S AND DAB THE MOISTEN COTTON BALL ONTO MY SCALPAND GENTLY MASSAGE IT IN. THIS WAY NO EXCESS OIL IS WASTED. HOPE THIS HELPS!

I AM IN!!! I will come back with the details. I am definitely going to be using sulfur in 2011 but I havent completely figured out my reggie so I will come back and post it once I do.

 

[PureSilver]

I'm making my mix as simple as possible, i added some more MTek this morn to my bottle it's actually a 6oz bottle instead of a 2oz that i stated in my previous post, so my mix includes
1/2 tsp EVOO
21/2oz MTek
1/2tsp Peppermint oil
1full tsp sulphur powder.

I have no plans to change my mix for the duration of this challenge, however i'll be using my HM moisturizer between my tracks so i don't get too dry. Definately will need to wash every other wk or every wk depending on my scalp condition.

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

I know this works, and i've used sulfur oil (i bought a HUGE bottle of sulfur powder at Walgreens) on and off, since i've joined the forum.

What gets me is this - the oil runs down my neck...endlessly.
It seems to matter not whether i just use a dab or a squirt it just runs and runs and runs....So gross.

It stains my blouses something hideous.

It turns my jewelry a nasty shade of green...

It breaks me out if it touches my face...

Have you all experienced this -----and how have you adapted?

 

[Bigmommah]

Whenever I apply and oil that I don't plan to rinse out, I squeeze it on to the bathroom sink and then lightly dab the edge of the puddle to pick up the oil. I find this keeps me from over oiling.

 

[cocoagirl]

Add me to the list! Will be placing my order for Sulfur tomorrow!
