I have been taking the powder for two weeks 5.2 grams = 1 gram pills so it averages around 7 grams daily. My hair texture has definitely changed. It going from 3b the curliest Ive had to 2a all over. Extra smooth almost like I went over it lightly with the flat iron but not exactly straight. I am kinda missing my deep waves at the crown that I used to have :( Hopefully in the future I'll gain length.
I also take 5mg of biotin. My skin actually looks better. I had been having bad acne cysts, black heads, white heads, you name it. It has improved in a short time.

Anyways I hope my hair won't lose all of its texture:nono:
Anyone else have updates?
 
I've heard that MSM changes hair texture, I wonder if this is only when taken internally. I use it topically about 1-2x a week. My texture hasn't really changed but the ends are getting looser curls. I attribute that to growth. I do believe in MSM though, it's some good stuff!

because your hair is getting longer, the weight of the hair is making the curls loose.

Yep, that's what I think.

Some people complain of crazy dreams taking MSM internally. I don't take it internally because I swallow enough supplements daily. I have yet to experience the nightmares and weird dreams people complain of using it topically. I haven't heard of any break outs from it. I mix my
MSM with amla oil with a couple of drops of thyme and rosemary.

I apply it to my scalp which then absorbs the MSM from the oil. MSM is not sucked up by the hair shaft like protein is. Protein goes directly to the shaft(these are just my opinions...MKAY?) MSM gets in the blood stream via the scalp and nourishes the hair that way.

ETA~ I ordered mine from here...http://www.herbalremedies.com/1361.html

How much of these vitamins should you take a day? I just started taking a high potency B complex vitamin daily.it has 25 mcg of biotin is that a lot or a little? Should I take separate biotin in addition?

It really would depend on your body. I take a B supplement that contains 75 mcg of biotin which is 25% daily value in addition i take Biotin at 5mgs which is 1667% daily value. I read that having candida depletes you of biotin and I had an extreme case of it. I have been taking this amount and have not had any adverse effects and seem to be improving. So, I must be deficient.

As far as MSM, even if it doesn't grow my hair I would still take it internally. It had given me the energy boost I have needed for so long. I had been suffering from fatigue and depression. And it in combination with other things has lifted my mood and stamina.

I probably going to wait until next month and see how I'm doing. Then I'll post my entire health/vitamin reggie.:yep:

julia,
did this also soften your already existing hair or did it just soften your new growth?
 
My skin had a fit when I used Biotin regardless of my water intake. I've been using MSM powder mix with my orange juice internally for about a month and a half without an acne problem.

ETA: I started with 1000 mcg and have worked my way up to 3000 mcg. In January I'm going to start taking 4000-5000 mcg.

I have been taking 4mg of MSM daily for about 4 months now. I take Trimedica powder. I never remember my new growth being this wavy with well defined curls. I don't know if it's the MSM though, it could be that I am just using better products on my hair. I am taking it to hopefully extend my growth phase, but that's something you can't monitor.
 
MSM changed my newgrowth texture from 4a to 3c for the short period i took it I had tons of small spirals all around my head. I even had new hairs growing that were 3c. I stopped taking it because of crazy vivid dreams. I might start up again topically.

Does it dissolve completely? I wouldn't want any white residue left in my hair.:ohwell:
 
I add MSM to my daily spritz mix and it dissolves completely in the mixture. I also add it to my conditioners and again it dissolves and the texture of the conditioner is smooth with no graininess from the MSM. I highly recommend MSM.
