Does anyone know how to remove the sulfur smell that lingers in the extension braids...Washing my hair doesnt seem to do the trick.

I'm in a full sew-in, but hopefully this will help:

I had to go back after a co-wash and wash my hair with shampoo and really make sure I got the shampoo on my scalp. I rinsed A LOT more than I normally would before conditioning again and let the water run through my braids. It took a while to dry, but the smell was gone. I'm using Sublimed sulfur, which doesn't really have a smell, but a *ahem* scent can accumulate over time.
 
I have been using the Bee Mine for a few weeks. But, no tingles or itchies. Should I have them? What's the difference, if any, between the Bee Mine and the sublimed sulfur mixtures?
 
hi ladies!! checkin in....
thursday clarified my hair w/vo5 tea therapy clarifying poo in vanilla mint tea
conditioned w/garnier fructis triple nutrition fortifying cream conditioner :lick:
moisturized w/ HELTR leave-in, sealed w/castor oil

friday evening massaged scalp w/ amla oil, moisturized hair w/HELTR
today i used my sulur mix, used hot six oil through my ng(wild jungle in there :grin:), moisturized length of hair w/HELTR sealed w/castor

my starting length:

I am installing braids tomorrow. I am taking MSN and will be using my megatek, jbco and aloe mixture every other day.
 
I skipped out on using sulfur last month because I'm deeper in a stretch than I'd ever been. I think I'm going to get back on my game whether I relax next week or not. Next week I'll be 6 months post and have been trying to keep manipulation down. Likewise, I don't think I've seen as much growth last month as usual so, to stay on track to reaching my goal, I'm back in the saddle. Yeeee-haaa! :grin:
 
Hey ladies. I will be starting the official challenge today...woot woot! I have been using MTG for a while but took a unplanned week off last week. So just wanted to check in. Good luck ladies!
 
I am going to alternate my BT with a homemade sulfur mix. I wonder if I could steam after I apply my sulfur mix with no adverse affects...hmmm....trying it....
 
How is everyone doing? I'm trying to think of the best way for me to use this sulfur mix. Should I get a weave and just put the sulfur in between the braids or what. My hair is relaxed so I just don't want the oil to weigh it down.

I went back to weaving, it grew my hair from my BC to below SL...but I think that it also thinned my hair a bit, I was a back to back weaver, not time in between installs :nono:. I do think that I am fine haired anyways so be cautious when weaving. I think that I will wait 2 weeks between installs this time to take care of my own hair. I do like that with a curly weave I can apply it and not have a greasy looking weave.
 
I might steam after sulphur tomorrow. I started using my Bee Mine Growth Serum with sulphur last week.
3xs a week!

Everytime I go to use my mix I have to shake it cause the oil has separated, is anyone else having to do this?

On both my Pre-Mixes, Claudie Scalp Exlir and BeeMine Serum, it tells you to shake them. 'Shake Well Before Using'

It does tend to settle at the bottom of both.

By the way S.S. Your Hair Looks Amazing!:grin:
 
My Bee Mine just came!!! I am so excited! I am going to use it tomorrow!!! Also thinking about getting MegaTek and using it twice a week...any thoughts ladies?! Trying to decide if I should just do Bee Mine daily and sublimed sulfur mix 2x/week, or alternate between MegaTek & Sulfur Mix (1x/week for each)...has anybody ever done this? I am really trying to maximize growth! I KNOW I can get from NL to BSL with a solid growth aid in my reggie :yep:
 
I'd like to join...is it too late?

Starting Length: I think I'm APL in the back...haven't done a length check since October

Projected/Goal Length for December 2011: I will be BSL by December

Regimen:
Co-wash or shampoo every 3 days
DC with steam
Apply leave-in and sulfur to the scalp after my wash
Moisture spray each night
I also BKT every 6-8 weeks, and henna every 2 months.

Method of Sulfur Application: I will use up the rest of my Boundless Tresses, then I'll get some sublimated sulfur and add to oil.

Other Growth Aids: Sew-in for low manipulation and growth

I seriously neglected my hair in 2010. But I started using BT again by chance in November, and my hair grew almost an inch in the next month. I should make BSL for sure at this rate. :yep:
 
Thanks for starting this challenge!! :grin:

Count me in! My hair is currently just past APL when straight. I'll post pics that better show my length later :)

 
Just wanted to check in. I am thrilled with my progress since starting my sulfur mix. I almost gave up on it bc I initially was adding too much sulfur to my mix and started experiencing excessive shedding (my hair never overly sheds).

I revised my mix to include 1 teaspoon of sulfur with 4 oz of various oils. I haven't measured my hair in about a month, but from my photos it looks like I may have gotten about 1/2" in the last 2 weeks.

I don't want to break any challege rules by posting update pics too early (correct me if I'm wrong and I'll edit this post with pics), but I just wanted to share:grin:

Happy growing everyone!

Thank you so much for my FIRST ever hair compliment! Girl you got me cheesen real hard over hear. :grin:
 
late update: used sulphur mix on scalp, sprayed ng w/my moisturizer consisting of:
*rusk sensories smoother
*pure veg glycerin
*infusium 23
sealed length of hair w/castor oil, baggied ends
 
Checking In. I washed and did LP Deep Moisture Method yesterday, dried some 45% and applied my MT sulphur mix to my scalp. I'm in a weave and previous found it difficult to wash and condition in a weave but these days i seem to be more comfortable with what i'm doing.

I also left some of the conditioner on my weave and let it dry 100% before flat ironing for work this morn, flat ironing was a breeze and i did get that smooth salon look, too bad i aint got pitchas to share but hopefully that will change soon.
