SULFUR CHALLENGE 2012

[Meritamen]

Still applying nightly and taking MSM. Starting to feel a bit self-conscious about the smell, it is gone by morning but I still cover my hair with a scarf and beanie in hopes that I don't offend anyone with the sulfur smell. May have to start washing my hair more often than once a week to control any possible smell.

Hi there... I am just wondering if you guys are washing the oil out every morning?
Thanks

I sure do. I co wash every morning when I sulfur treat the night before.
I never leave the sulfur in all day....just all night under my baggy.

Last night I did a scalp massage with sulfur oil, and added extra to my edges. I also applied castor oil to the ends of my braids.

Hey Ladies I have a 4oz bottle of Sulfur Powder about 85% full from iHerb and a jar of MyPomadeShop Peppermint Hair Growth Pomade in Vanilla that is about 95% full that I am trying to get rid of since I no longer use them. I don't know to many ladies besides you all that use sulfur powder or understand the concept of sulfur based products and since i have failed this challenge horribly I thought I'd share lol. PM if you're interested.

So I only missed one day this week of apply the sulfur. There are spots on either side of my head along my edges that might as well be bald that I am hoping grows in. Upon inspection it looks like there is a little baby hair growing in. Ok, no time to get too excited since that hair is very soft and fragile. I starting a full scale attack with:
Sulfur 8 (2% sulfur) applied every night
Biotin and MSM vitamins taken daily
Jason Biotin shampoo and conditioner
No wigs to give my hairline a break
Keep hair in braids or twists for a week
Moisturize and seal everyday or every other day

 

[Meritamen]

Not about sulfur but I figured someone would be interested.

Ok, used the Jason products today... The Jason Biotin Shampoo has a medicated herbal baby powder smell in the bottle that makes me think of baby products or feminine sprays. Not crazy for that type of scent on my hair, thankfully it's not strong and couldn't smell it while shampooing. I followed the directions and shampooed twice. I made sure to massage it in both times. It did a good job cleaning my hair, even with two washes it didn't over-strip or tangle my hair so it is a very gentle shampoo. It also produced suds easily both times. I like.
Followed up with the Jason Biotin Conditioner which felt very slippery when applying it but strangely didn't provide much slip when trying to detangle. Had to add some CurlySexyHair Moisturizing Conditioner to help.

Just did a scalp massage with sulfur oil and braided my hair for bed. I should have concentrated more oil on my edges, but I forgot. Perhaps I will do it in the morning before church.

 

[naturalfinally]

Just added my Trigger to my scalp and braided up my hair.

It's been awhile since I been here... I just put some msm in my water.

 

[ChasingBliss]

Yes, the massages. I definitely believe they are equally responsible for those new hairs sprouting up at my temples as the sulfur and nioxin.

 

[Lita]

Rubbed some rosemary pomade on my edges..



Happy Hair Growing!

 

[NappyNelle]

Just did a scalp massage with my sulfur oil, concentrating on my edges.

 

[Onhergrind09]

I got my sublimed sulfur mixed it into my Hair Trigger and I have been applying it into my scalp nightly. I massage it in for 3 minutes, I'm trying to do it longger, but my arms get tired cause I like a firm massage, lol.

[NappyNelle]

Just did a scalp massage with my sulfur oil; concentrating on my edges. Tomorrow, I will start seeping my herbs into my next oil batch. My current bottle is really low.

againstallodds I believe my oil mix is about 10% sulfur.

 

[Meritamen]

Applied the Sulfur 8. I may start applying it twice a day, morning and night, since it only has 2% sulfur in it.

 

[HeChangedMyName]

I took my MSM this morning(3000 mg w/Orange Juice) and applied my sulfur/castor oil/coconut oil mix to my scalp

 

[againstallodds]

Added JBCO to my mix to thickened it up, applied to scalp and did a lengthy scalp massage.

 

[Meritamen]

Been forgetting to take my MSM. Washed my hair last night and applied sulfur grease to scalp.
