Has anyone had the pleasure of trying both serums from Beemines? Do you like the mango or the strawberry kiwi better (smell wise)?
 
I bought some other products from BeeMine, I liked the smell it was for my DD. What about ordering the sample sizes to be sure....

off topic..I was stalking your fotki and I want to do a henna, I am fine haired, I wondered if the henna 'thickened' your hair. TIA
 
Have a question before I begin, a post pic and post actual stats..

I BC'd and am going to attempt to wear wash n go's and wash my hair every other day. How do you all apply nightly without distrubing your curls? Do you part like normal? Do you us an application type nozzel? TIA!
 
Thanks! I made up a batch of oil and I did a patch test last night... and I've had no itching, burning or anything crazy to happen so I'm good! Though I will say that when I was initially making the oil I mixed it in a bowl using my tbsp measuring spoons and I mixed what I thougth to be 8 ounces.. then I put it in the marked applicator bottle and quickly realzied that i had not mixed up 8 FLUID ounces of oil so I made the needed adjustments. I'm so glad I caught the mistake! It could have been a disaster!

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:)

Anything for growth that I'm using I use an applicator nozzle so that I can get it directly on my scalp and it keeps it off of the length of my hair.

@Missjae09 please tell me the how to on those beautiful curls. I am having no luck with rollersetting, rods, bantu knots or flexi rods, help a sista out....:) thank you much!!!!
 
Thinking of braiding of my hair in single box braids. Do you ladies think it will make it more difficult to apply the sulfur?
 
Is it too late? If not I'd like to join!
I recently come across NJoy's inspirational journey in BHM and I wanna give her method a shot.
Daily regime:
Apply sulfur mix to my hair & scalp nightly while bagging
co-wash the mix out of my hair every morning
moisturize / kimmaytubes' ph leave-in, hydratherma naturals' protein leave-in
and seal with castor oil
styling: four braids under a wig
wash / hot oil treatment / Deep condition weekly
 
Oh, I bought MSM in the powder form instead of the sublime sulfur brand... do you think it makes a difference? Or does all sulfur produce the same results?
 
Ladies are you reusing your sulfur mix containers. If so how are you getting off the sulfur from the side of the containers? I would try acetone or carbon disulphide but it would dissolve my container too.
 
I have read that MSM works better when taken internally and sublimed sulphur is for topical use....

Do you shampoo/cowash in between applications?
 
I want to join. I want to try out sulfur for my dry scalp. I asked my mom about the use of sulfur for dry skin and she suggested Sulfur 8. I didn't like the ingredients so I'm gonna make my own. If I get some hair growth from it that would be nice but I really want to get this itchy scalp under control.

Starting Length: NL
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: APL. Here's hoping. :grin:
Regimen: This may become altered when I start using the sulfur mix.
~ Shampoo and condition every 7 to 14 days. (on weekends)
~ Co-wash 1 to 2x in-between washes. (mid-week)
~ Let hair air dry in braids in order to stretch hair to avoid SSKs.
~ Moisturize hair when needed, usually 1 to 2x daily.
~ Seal hair with unrefined coconut oil or evoo daily.
~ Sleep in braids with a satin scarf/bonnet or on a satin pillowcase.
~ No gel. No direct heat. Do not use rubber bands, cotton, or metal on hair.
~ Trim hair when need. Either dusting or search and destroy.
Method of Sulfur Application: 1/2 tsp of sublimed sulfur in 4 oz of oil (unrefined coconut oil or evoo) applied to scalp nightly.
Other Growth Aids: GNC Women's Ultra Mega multivitamin (for general health), GNC Hair, Skin & Nails and MSM.
 
I posted this in the sulfur 2010 thread but I am repeating here.

Does anyone have an example of how long it took to start seeing results from sulfur use beyond your regular growth pattern?

Thanks. I think I am going to keep replacing the plastic bottle since it was only $0.59 and I believe that my mix will last me at least a month. Maybe when I finish up my next bottle of JBCO I can reuse it too.
 
I am a newbie (lurked for over 7 yrs and finally joined:lachen:)

Starting Length: Neck Length
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: BSL

Other Growth Aids: Chlorella, Spiriluna, Vit C, Biotin, Omega 3-6-9, Calcium, Magnesium, Multi
 
Count me IN! 2011 is going to be my year for tremendous growth...

Starting Length: NL in the back and SL in the front (angled bob)
Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: APL/BSL
Regimen: Wash and condition hair 2-3x/week
Method of Sulfur Application: Apply growth mixture at least every other day

Trying to figure out how to handle the sulfur application..do you all wash it out or leave it in? I have read some of last year and this thread & have seen where people do both...so confused. I have ordered my Bee Mine and sublimed sulfur for a more intensive treatment/prepoo for once a week. So any advice on the best way to apply for optimal results? I am transitioning and am trying not to co-wash/poo more than 2-3x/week bc I want to minimize manipulation of the battling textures :perplexed

I started using sulfur and MT mix at the end of September - first of Oct. In a previous post, I had, what I described as a 3-lane highway at the middle part (center part) of my head. Tonight while doing my hair, it has closed to more regular 2-lane highway and is still growing. Will try to take some pictures this week during the snow storm to document my progress.

BTW, prior to that I had a HUGE hole in my hair line that was extra slowly recovering over TWO years. :nono:

Hope that sort of answers your question.
