I'm getting my 2012 regime together but have a couple of questions

Should we wash the sulfur mixture out the following day and if not, how long should it stay on the scalp? Also, how many times a week are you applying?

ReignLocks It depends on your daily styling choices and the time you have. I only wash every 2 weeks or so in the winter if I'm wearing a protective style; more often if my hair is loose.

I apply my sulfur oil or pomade 3-4x a week. No smell or build up for me.

Sublime sulfur and castor oil, still going....

 

[*closer*2*my*dreams*]

I've been MIA, but I have been using my oil mix 2-3 times per week as well as taking MSM daily (twice a day - today I'm going to start taking it three times a day. I have 1000mg). I havent been washing my scalp (I'm in a sew-in), but I haven't had any buildup or irritation. I use the Sublime powder with tea tree oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, and lavender oil.

We'll see what type of progress I've had when I get my hair redone mid-January.
