I'm lowkey on the sulfur challenge because I'm not consistent nor do I take pictures often. :look:

I'm using an off-brand MSM cream - Born Again MSM Cream Moisturizer w/Vitamin E 2oz jar. I part my scalp wherever and apply then rub my scalp all over after applying. I've noticed my hair is slightly drier lately.

I've been eyeing Trimedica's Pure MSM as my refill cream once I'm done with my current MSM.
 
i think i'm going to switch to applying my sulfur in the mornings and rinsing it out in the evenings.
i just bought new (and super expensive) sheets and i do not want to look at that mess all over my pillowcases in the mornings haha

18 days into the challenge and I have to drop out. I can tell this has been working but I can still smell the sulfur and the smell bothers me. I am selling my bottle of Bee Mine in the product exchange forum, it is almost still full.

Perhaps you can use some tea tree oil. That stuff is very overpowering with an antiseptic sent to it. I would say try it with some lavender and rosemary too.

both are the same picture!
 
Finally took my micros and will be washing and posting starting pics later on today. I got my msm in the mail last week so i will be mixing a batch and doing a patch test for a few days or maybe a week
 
Checking in.

I was only going to apply my sulfur mix every other day but when I went to massage my scalp I felt absolutely no oil. I guess my scalp soaked this stuff right up. So I applied again last night and did a 5 min massage. I will probably co-wash tonight and reapply. I think I will change my routine to everyday/co-wash everyother day.

We will see how this goes.

GROW HAIR GROW!!!!
 
Been applying my sulfur mix in the morning and at night. My growth is looking niccccccce! :)

I'm doing 2 a days until Feb 20th b/c I want to hit APL for my bday. I just added some MT to the mix last night. It made it a really nice consistency.

I'll be applying the sulfur mix 1x a day after Feb 20. I'll be doing this till Dec 25th, 2011. I'm superrrrr excited about this.

This is the first time I've gotten consistent growth from a growth aid. Just started MSM. Ill be taking 3 mg daily along with 5 mg biotin. Thoughts? Anyone using this combo of vits? Was also thinking of taking silica but I don't know which to take. Anyone taking a really good one? TIA!
 
Checking in!

I have still been applying my mix at night along with a massage and my growth is great! I have just started back with applying Brahmi oil in the day time so that I am massaging my scalp with sulfur at night and Brahmi in the morning for 2 massages daily well unless we want to count the daily cowashing that would make 3 but I want to see if my growth will increase even more with this. Just like Daughterofzion, I want to attain my goal of BSL by my birthday in June and I am currently SL but I am short so its not that far from APL on me.

@ Daughterofzion1, I am taking msm, B complex, and a very potent womens multi vitamin with a large amount of Biotin in it and I believe I am getting great results. On the 22nd, it will be 30 days since I have been using my sulfur mix and I am going to post my starting pick along with a progress pick just to see what I have. I will do it in 3 days on the 22nd. I am very excited!

ETA- I was at the 2 on my progress shirt on December 22nd so we will see where I am on January 22nd. I feel really good about it.

I saw sulfur use as a marathon and not a sprint but lately I see people are expecting to see results in the first few weeks of use. Is this the case because I have been using for about 2 months now and I don't see an increase in growth at all.
 
@ Diadall, I really didn't know what to expect when I first started but I was pleasantly surprised within 2 weeks of using it. I was only approaching 3 weeks post and already had a little new growth. It wasn't a lot but it was more than I normally would have at that point. I am 5 weeks post as of today and I have quite a bit of new growth now. What are you mixing yours with? Are you PSing?
 
Id like to join :) I just finished making my mix - 2oz of hemp seed oil 2oz of jbco tsp of sublimed sulfur and several drops of peppermint oil. :yep: im gonna use it nightly during the week. I apply mine very lightly then massage it in well. Hope to hit SL by May!!! Ill take starting pics this weekend. :D

Thanks for the reply :) ;) :) How much MSM are you taking? and are you taking the powder or the pills? When I finish with the pills I'm buying the powder. Do you know anything about Silica?

Really? I saw a nice speed up when I used MTG...I used it warm tho twice a week. Now I'm using my own lil mix with some MT to murk the sulfer smell. My edges are doing okay.I have a feeling I'm nt going to see the fast growth that I did first time around so I'm keeping my mt close by lol

Yes, really. Feel bad for me girl. I am getting concerned. I know I am using it right, its simple, just add to oil and put on your scalp.

I hope in a few weeks I will be writing a "Sulfur is the truth."

I know u didn't ask me but I thought maybe. I could be of some help. I took three silica a day the vitamin world brand...took 1 month on one month off...saw really good results with. A half a teaspoon of msm daily. HTH drink TONS of wate.

The same thing happened when I tried MT, it took a month for me to put it down due to no results...then I waited a week and gave myself a scalp scrub with baking soda and tried again and it worked =)

Cheer up and give it some time. I have no idea if my nightly sulfur messages are making a difference. I think it might take a few months for us to determine if it's actually working. Stick with it a little while longer and see if you get any results.

I wanna hear about the results? Can anyone update?

So.... here's a "progress" (:lachen:) pic based on about 11 days of sulfur use. FULL DISCLOSURE: I flipped the January pic to make it easier to compare the 2 shots, but my hair is completely even on both sides, I promise lol.

So what do you guys think?? DH says 1/2", but he's my sole cheerleader right now and tends to go a bit overboard lol.

I am actually taking the powder form of MSM by Trimedica and I take 1/4 of a teaspoon in the morning and another in the evening. 1/4 teaspoon = 1000 mg's so I am taking a total of 2000mg daily. I am thinking about increasing the amount but make sure you drink plenty of water. I also took silica for a while previously and it also helped. Actually, I am not sure why I stopped taking it. Lol! HTH!
 
Checking in, applied my MTG yesterday. Q: Does anyone hair gets noticeably drier after using their sulfur?

The question was for anyone so thank you for answering QueenFee :).
How many mgs was in each silica tablet? Did you say you got great growth from both msm and silica or just msm? And was it normal silica or bamboo silica?
 
Has anyone experienced the yellow residue? This morning I had to CoWash my hair because of it.
 
After i took down my micros I did as follows:

1) Detangle
2) ACV/ Herbal green tea rinse
3) Shampoo with Mizani Moisturefusion Milk Bath 2x
4)Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor w/ plastic cap on for about 10 - 15 minutes
5)DC with several conditioners i mixed up w/ plastic cap on for about an hour
6)Applied Kimmyatube's leave in
7)Put hair in pony tail applied vasline to the ends put in a bun and baggied my bun

I know it seems like a lot.....

So here are my results which are also my starting pics

1st pic was taken in oct. my length was probably at 2 but not past it (guesstimating)
2nd pic is my hair after i completed all those steps ^ combed out
3rd pic is my current length after having micros in for 3 months

Yes it does!!! Thought it was just me. One month of new growth feels more like three months of new growth. Still working hard to combat this. Last night I used the Alter ego conditioner and mixed a homemade recepie previously but still noticed my hair is drier than normal.
