SULFUR CHALLENGE 2012

[yaya24]

Just edited my first post with my sulfur mix.

My sulfur mix will be sublimed sulfur+ JBCO + peppermint oil.


I started using this mix on Monday to test it out, and so far so good.

Since I am in my senegalese twists, I needed to make sure that whatever sulfur mix I was using would not leave a residue/film of sulfur at the base of my twists. After 3 mornings of applying, I am still in the clear.

Yay.

Thanks for the responses ladies!

Question: For those of you that have used sulfur as a growth aid in the past, what was the difference in your growth rate?

My average growth rate is less than 0.5 a month, so I'm hoping the sulfur regime will give me at least that.

I'll lurk ...
I am using mustard oil blended with ayurvedic oils for edges and ends.
I mixed Shapley's MTG in eco custard for leave-in, twists, braids ... added scented oil to kill bacon smell

I went from 1/2 inch at the crown and 1/4 inch at my front edges in 5 weeks with no growth aide to 3/4 of an inch at the crown in 4 weeks and 1/2 at my front edges.

[Ms. Tiki]

I'm in b/c I'm using GAs until I hit MBL. Will be back with my info

 

[Aggie]

I want to join too, but I am not keen on topical applications anymore either. I prefer to take it internally as MSM. I take it for joint health and pain relief - hair health is simply an added bonus for me.

 

[ImFree27]

I've been applying for about 2 weeks now daily, closer and closer to wsl.

 

[Meritamen]

I will be taking MSM again not for my hair really but for my knees. My joints get a little aggravated from working out. I hope it will help while I better my form and diet.
Starting Length: SL
Projected/Goal Length for December 2012: BSL
Regimen: Cornrows under a wig until May 2012; after that protective styling/low manipulation styles. Weekly or bi-monthly washing.
Method of Sulfur Application: MSM pills at at 2000-3000mg.
Other Growth Aids: I also take biotin at 3000mcg.

 

[greenandchic]

The list is growing nicely! Hey guys! Thanks for joining I will update the list when I get to my home computer.

 

[Aggie]

Starting Length: SL

Projected/Goal Length for December 2012: Full APL or touching BSL I will be happy.

Regimen: Big plaits under wigs for the entire year and I may alternate them with weaves though; Very low manipulation styles with 3 trims throughout the year - max 4 trims. Deep treatment once a week to once every 2 weeks depending on how busy my schedule is.

Method of Sulfur Application: MSM pills at at 2000 mg daily which I already took for the day but will be increasing it to 4000 mg a day - splitting half morning and half in the evening. I really need to extend my hair's growth cycle.

Other Growth Aids: I take 500 mg of silica a day but need to increase this to 1500 mg a day. I also take a 5000 mcg of biotin capsule daily and now increasing this to 10,000 mcg daily - 1 in the morning and 1 at night.

Don't worry ladies, I do take B-Complex vitamins to counteract the zits. My skin is still flawless. Lastly, I take Neocell collagen and Phytospecific Cap Energy hair and nail vitamins.

 

[Lita]

I take 5100mg M.S.M & drink plenty water..

*I take it for my joints but,if it helps my hair what a great addition...

Thanks for sharing! My inner PJ just came out because I've been looking for a sulfur pomade like item I could use since I kind of hate mixing stuff. I ordered a sample size, can't wait until it gets here, hopefully I'll like it and will use it for the challenge!
