I used NJoys sulfur recipe a few years ago (mixed it up myself) and like the other ladies, I saw really good growth. I can't really comment in the shedding because I got the Depo shot which reinvented what shedding hair really means bit since it was a shot I couldn't do anything but wait until the hormones were out of my system. Last June/July I ordered her new recipe from her site and I still have some left. I can't say that I saw more or less growth with her new recipe because I don't think I have been all that consistent. I mixed up her old sulfur recipe and I have amazing growth. I don't have any issue with shedding or dryness that I've seen although my hair is in box braids. I oil my scalp, and I moisturize and seal the hair still. When I take out different braids to redo them I only have a couple of she's hairs per braid. I also take vitamins so I won't say it's the sulfur alone
