Starting Length: shoulder length - 8 inches
Projected/Goal Length for December 2012: 16 inches from root to tip
Regimen: DC weekly, with a steamer starting in Feb. Protective styling and baggying at night.
Method of Sulfur Application: I am going to use the recipe that NJoy used. I saw her progress pics from 2010 and thought...that works! :)
Other Growth Aids: I am taking a Deva hair, nails and skin vitamin. It's Vegan for those who may be interested. Also for health sake, I am trying to eat more "clean". Getting rid of a diet full of processed foods and eating more of a vegetable based diet. Everything in moderation.
Starting Pic (optional): I don't have a really good length check pic but my hair is shoulder length stretched.

I did get my sulfur. I am now waiting for the other stuff to put in my mix . Until then I am using MTG. On the edge, which is a target area for me. I had a dry patch a while back and had skin that would just flake off along with hair. So I am nursing my left edge back. It is about the size of a nickel. Weird stuff started happening with me in my thirties. Anywho, I am just putting a pic in where I did flat iron. But probably won't do it again til June just for a length check. Around here that would be all it is for due to humidity.

the curly pic is my sew in I did last night.
 
Sorry I did not take the back. I just realized when I posted. I am about 12 inches in the back. My hair grows in layers. My bangs are about 10. The thickest parts are the crown and back, with the back being the thickest.
 
Finally finished my first 8oz batch this evening. Already mixed my next 8oz batch to begin again on Saturday night. This time I'm adding avocado oil and using more jojoba than olive oil. But the mix is basically exactly what Njoy posted. I can really visualize waist length by October. I'm still deciding on posting pics.
 
Still hanging in here. I have been very diligent with taking my vitamins, had a much needed hair cut to start all over again, keeping my hair moisturized, and massaging in my sulfur scalp mix 2-3 times a week.
 
Haven't applied my mix in a good week. :/
Ran out of my Ayurvedic shampoo bar and thats what I used to clean my scalp. About to order some more~
 
So the past three nights I have been on it!! Finally lol! Prior to applying my mix I have been moisturizing my hair and sealing it. Then I have been applying my sublimed sulfur mix and doing a full headed baggy to sleep. In the morning I've done a clarifying conditioner to cleanse my scalp then moisturizing and sealing. Today was a wash day (ACV rinse, shampooed, Apoghee 2 min, baking soda rinse, deep condished) and I'm getting ready to moisturize, seal and massage some sublimed sulfer mix into my scalp! :yep:
 
I want to join! I been using sulfur on and off for a year now.

Im using a new mix. It consists of JBCO, coconut oil, apricot oil, rosehip seed oil, lime eo, sulfur, rosemary eo and cinnamon eo, respectively.

This mix smells awesome! It absorbs so well and I can use it daily or every other day.

Its been 2 weeks since I've been in box braids and the only thing I'm using on my scalp is my oil mix
.

I'm really liking that combo.
 
I only applied sulfur once this past week. Im back to my every other day starting today. Im really looking forward to the progress. I must admit I have been neglecting my hair the last few months and my edges and back I can tell... So Im on my own personal challenge from now to March 31st,2012 Which will be my next official length check to baby my hair like a new born baby.......protect moisture condition and be consistent
 
Last night, I massaged my scalp with my sulfur/jbco mix, moisturized with Keracare Oil Moisturizer (KCOM) and sealed with jbco. My hair felt amazing.

ETA: I made a morning moisturizing spritzer.

It has in it:
3 Tbs of glycerine
3oz of distilled water
4oz aloe vera gel and
3oz of BB Oil Moisturizer with castor oil.

Instead of moisturizing my ends bit by bit in the morning before work, I will simply mist it with this concoction to save myself time.
 
BUMP! I decided to join since I just received my sulphur mixture.

Other Growth Aids: Nioxin intensive recharging vitamins, biotin, msm, sea buckthorn juice, mega-tek mixture with MN and shark cartilage (mucopolysaccharides), exercise 4 days & consume whey protein shakes.

The month is almost over. Been keeping up with all my scheduled treatments. One day I got sick and didnt go to work so I kept my sulfur treatment in the whole next day along with the baggy until the next morning. Thought I'd start to feel irritation but it worked out. For the most part I've been doing it 3 times per week...If things turn out ok, I will do it 4 times per week in Feb. I missed measurement taking for this month so I've decided to start measuring on the first of each month for the rest of the year. I will put up a pic then. I'm really feeling good about this. So glad this thread was started. It's probably the first challenge I've given even a month to since I came to this board. Wait, let me not forget....I went hard on that Surge Challenge back in the day.
 
I had my sulfur mix in all day yesterday. I was so worried getting on the elevator at work. But I don't think the sulfur mix is too strong. Esp with the rosemary and peppermint oils. I put some more mix in my hair last night, sealed the length of my hair with black castor oil, and baggied. I co-washed it out this morning. My siggy is my starting point. It doesn't have a hard press on it, but it's grazing the top of my brastrap. I want bottom of brastrap or waist by year's end. I'm not sure if that's too ambitious, here goes!
