I'm not an official part of this thread but would like to know how you all combat the dryness that comes with using sulfur? I haven't experienced it yet since I just started using Boundless Tresses but I have concerns with it drying my hair out.


How is this working for you? Any dryness?

I'm not having trouble with dryness.

I have the serious drippies its the worst i need to figure out something. ive been applying my mtg since saturday every night. im planning on cowashing and dcing tomorrow

you have to be a little easy when applying the MTG or it will be really drippy. I use an color applicator bottle when applying

 

[GlamaDiva]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has any tingling when using their sulfur powder? I used some last night and put some on my scalp tonight and I am not sure if I am imagining things but it seems to tingle (not burning) with a warm sensation.

I had this sensation the first night that i applied my MTG :-D days afterwards my head was itching like crazy (growth!)

I just received my sulfur in the mail from americarx.com. Does everyones sublimed sulfur say just "sulfur" or does it say "sublimed sulfur"/any alias?

Please add me.

Starting Length: I have to be honest, I am not sure. I was CBL (when straightened last). I am guessing that I am between there and SL.

Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: I would love to BSL.

Regimen: Wash and DC at least once a week. Steaming once a week. Important to add water to my hair at night with castor oil & twist.

Method of Sulfur Application: Sublimed sulfur added to a mix of oils (homemade mixture).

Other Growth Aids: Mega-Tek mix and JBCO regularly.

I use an adjustable spout bottle with my sulfur oil. Just adjust so that it drips out in single drops. I add a few drops to my scalp first then a bead of MegaTek mix.

Caution: I tend to put my hair up first THEN clean my face because the sulfur oil had a tendency to seep down my forehead and the back of my neck. Cleaning my face afterwards seemed to keep it from getting all into my skin.

Thanks ladies I am not sure if I am going to use this stuff until I get some clarification. I checked online and my purchase looks like the pictures in several of the sublimed sulfur distributors; however, I am a little nervous because it doesn't actually say sublimed sulfur or any other alias.

How are you supposed to mix this stuff? How much sulfur? One tablespoon or one teaspoon. I'm assuming tablespoon but I don't know!

My Vatika oil and JBCO came in today!! woot! So I think I am going to make a mix of those 2 oils, MN, a teaspoon of Sulfur, WGO and a few drops of Rosemary and Peppermint EO. I'm gonna try and apply daily, seal my ends with jojoba oil and use a clarifying shampoo every 2 weeks to combat buildup.

 

[Missjae09]

Ladies.. I'm excited, anxious, and nervous!!! I recieved my sulfur today but the label doesn't say "flowers of sulfur" or "sublimed sulfur" and I'm afraid to use it! I bought it on Amazon.com after doing a search for sublimed sulfur. It is from a company called Preferred Plus Pharmacy and it just says "Sulfur". This may be a stupid question but how do I make sure its sublimed sulfur and sulfuric acid or the kind that will burn my skin and hair?!?!?!?

Got the same one. Another lady on page 8 said it was okay. I mixed it up early this morning and used it after braiding and twisting my hair

I had the exact question. I got the okay and I've used it once. Everything was fine.
