So I love a great challenge but i'm new to the world of using sulfur to make my hair grow so I decided to join a sulfur challenge on Long Hair Care Forum. If you read the first post in the challenge you will find recipes, as I stated in the second post, I will be using Njoy's recipe but I tweaked it a little to fit what I had on hand.
My Recipe:
1 tsp Sublimed Sulfur Powder
2 oz Jojoba Oil
3 oz Castor Oil
2 oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil(EVOO)
4-5 drops Rosemary Oil
4-5 drops Peppermint
*A little bit of the Rosemary oil and Peppermint oil goes a long way.*
Because the challenge starts 9/1/12 I relaxed on 8/24./12, 8 days before to give my hair a scalp a break. Sulfur will burn your scalp if you use it too soon after a relaxer or relax too soon after using it.
My Regimen:
Use mix 3 times a week at night
Cowash in the mornings after using mix.
Shampoo/DC twice a week
Moisturize everyday
I will still take my multivitamin and biotin
A few tidbits:
-Be careful about how much you use. No one wants oil running down their face so its best to do this at night and cover with a plastic bag to save your pillow. This also saves your jewelry.
-As far as shampoo goes I plan to alternate between my ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo(clarifying) and my Aphogee Balancing Moisture. Using a clarifying shampoo removes product build up.
-I will not be using heat during this challenge
