SULFUR CHALLENGE 2012

[tapioca_pudding]

Randomly popping in

Mixed some sublimed sulfer into a jar of Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food, going to apply that nightly til it runs out and see what happens. I co-wash every morning.

 

[NappyNelle]

My latest batch of sulfur oil is finally ready. I'm going to use a little tonight on my scalp and hairline.

 

[Meritamen]

Took a break from the sulfur for a few days because my scalp was dry. Started using it again tonight.

 

[naturalfinally]

Added pomade to my edges and crown. I had to decrease the number of days that I use this because it was really drying.

 

[nubiennze]

Just massaged in my oil mix.

 

[manter26]

I laid off my sulfur mix. I really don't think it was making a difference in my growth. Still as slow as molasses.

 

[NappyNelle]

Did a scalp massage with my sulfur oil, and concentrated on my edges.

Hi all, I'm Tracie. Pretty new to this Sulfur. I just started this past Friday and so far I'm being consistent. My mix right now is:

TSP Sublimed Sulfur powder
a couple drops of Peppermint Oil
a couple drops of Tea Tree Oil
4 oz of EVOO
2 oz of Grapeseed Oil
2 oz of JBCO

and I don't smell a thing I was worried it was going to stink but nothing. It did itch the first day bad. I did it again today and it itched for a few minutes, but my Scalp feels fine now. I am excited to see how my progress will be. Here's my starting pic. This is my hair blow dried and about 8 weeks post Relaxer:

Ladies: What kind of results are you getting? I searched the other sulfur challenges but just saw alot of updates. I've never really done the growth-aid thing, worrying about effects (MSM and skin breakouts, OCT and shedding), but I have some Glover's that I could add to my coconut oil that I now add to my scalp daily.

So what we looking like? Is it really some increased growth??

I have no idea since I haven't been keeping track. I have noticed that my hair isn't falling out as much, lots of new baby hairs, my crown is filling in and my edges are finally growing. I'm also taking biotin so that is helping too. Basically my hair is becoming thicker maybe faster growth will come later.
Honestly, I'm just happy the sulfur keeps my scalp from itching.

Thanks girl! Welp looks like I'm in. I added Glover's to my coconut oil for the morning and also added that mix to the Jam that I'll add to my edges. I'll add the Jam at work after I put my makeup on. Cool! I'm psyched! This is my first growth aid challenge lol.

itismehmmkay Have you seen NJoy's progress thread from 2010?

I know we spoke briefly in private, but here is my picture evidence:

Aug 2011 - Mar 2012 Damp Puffs

This would be normal growth for someone else, but this is 'extra' for me due to my health issues. I hope sulfur works for you, too!

Did a scalp massage with my sulfur oil and used HH Sprout along my hairline. I think my edges are starting to thicken up with more fine strands.

 

[Onhergrind09]

Still applying Hair Trigger mixed w/ sulfur to my scalp nightly and I've had no issue with smells, staining, dryness or anything else. I think it's improved my growth rate, I'll know more after I relax-which might not be for a while.

 

[Seamonster]

NappyNelle that puff says it all

I finished my Glover's pomade, it has 5% sulfur. I guess it the pomades can take more sulfur. All the oils have 2%.

BEAUtiful!!!! And I'll look up Njoys pics in 2010. I'm feeling good just on how I get a mini oil treatment prepoo everyday. Still doing nightly washing and when I washed it tonight there was this extra slip almost like my hair was more relaxed. I had to really look at it after rinsing to make sure I was still texlaxed. And the suave humectress con already gives me great slip so this was def extra. And the smell wasn't that loud. I'm so happy in how easy this'll be to maintain. It was so simple to apply this morning on my scalp and the Jam on my edges worked great. I'm sooooo excited. N really even if my rate if growth doesn't really speed up I think I'll have great retention because of this.

 

[NappyNelle]

Seamonster I think most of our oils (homemade and purchased) range from 5-12% Sulfur. What is the base ingredient of Glovers?

itismehmmkay I wanted to be sure that I answered your question as accurately as I could. I also find it easy to add sulfur to the products I would be using anyway, because I wouldn't have to remember an 'extra' step in my regimen. Sulfur also strengthens at the root, so yes, your retention will probably be great.

 

[Seamonster]

NappyNelle it is probably petroleum. That is the base of most of the old pomades.

 

[HeChangedMyName]

I'm still massaging my scalp. I can't wait to show you all pics of my edges, they are filling in nicely after the postpartum shedding. I'm taking phentermine right now so I hope it doesn't cause any hair setbacks.

I fell off on my MSM while I started the phen though. I've been on phen for about a week now so I'm thinking I will get back on MSM.

Thanks girly And awesome w/ the root strengthening. And yes, it's hard trying to add something extra to ur regimen and to remember it all the time. I think I'm just so thankful that I now have a staple regimen that I don't need to default from. I think this glovers/coconut oil mix may be apart of it. I'm loving how it lays out my rollerset. I use the snap rollers and even though you really can't see any humps or bumps after I comb it out (and since I'm just wearing a headband), the oil seems to stretch it out even more. And I'm thinking it's the glover's mixed in b/c the coconut oil didn't really do that alone either....at least not as much. I think coconut oil is enhanced by other products. I remember I used to oil my scalp with coconut oil and WGO and it would really relax the new growth pretty well. WGO wouldn't do it alone, and coconut oil wouldn't do it as well solo either. Something about combining some oils works. I'll be taking pics after my next touchup!

 

[itismehmmkay]

So yall, I may chill on this on the weekends. The smell is not that loud actually, but I could have plans on Saturday and Sunday I'm all up in folks face at church. So, this may just be my M-F mix. That's still 5 days a week, not bad. I'll still use the coconut oil on Sat & Sun though, just maybe not w/ the glover's mixed in...we'll see.

 

[itismehmmkay]

Or....is there a sheen spray that can mask the glover's. I've used peppermint in my WGO before, but I really don't want to smell all pepperminty either. I'm thinking like that Black Cherry Afro Sheen....lmao. Maybe I'll pick some up and see what it does w/ the smell.

This what I'm talking about : http://www.walmart.com/ip/Isoplus-B...Private-Collection-Oil-Sheen-10.5-oz/10818597

yall remember this?

 

[mami2010]

I've been away for awhile but I mixed up my sulfur and will be applying it tonight!

 

[NappyNelle]

itismehmmkay My hair dresser used to use the African Cherry. I loved how it smelled! That would probably mask the Glovers if you still decide to use it over the weekend.

 

[itismehmmkay]

NappyNelle Well there you go; I'll get some on Friday and test it out on Saturday.

 

[againstallodds]

Did a lengthy scalp massage with my sulfur mix. Applied peppermint pomade to my edges.

 

[NappyNelle]

Did a scalp message tonight.

 

[NappyNelle]

Added sulfur oil to my scalp tonight.

 

[againstallodds]

Scalp massage with my sulfur mix.

 

[Meritamen]

I will be taking a break from daily sulfur application during the summer. My scalp hasn't been itching much so it's not really needed, plus, I will be wearing my hair out more and don't want to be parinoid that I smell like rotten eggs. Will most likely resume the challenge when it gets cooler again. Ciao!

 

[bajandoc86]

Still applying my sulfur oil mix ~2x a week.

againstallodds your hair is absolutely beautiful!
