The Study
According to a 2019 study published in Natural Medicine Journal which followed 63 individuals over 4 months of use. Subjects in this study were found to have improved hair and nail conditions as determined by expert graders and self-assessment examination.
There were statistically significant gains in nail shine and nail overall appearance in as short as 2 weeks of supplementation from both dosage groups. After 8 weeks, nail shine for the 3 grams per day dosage group improved an amazing 54.5%, compared to a, still amazing, 40% improvement in the 1 gram of organic sulfur per day group.
Your hair is built from a durable protein (keratin), which has a high sulfur content while helps maintain the shape of your hair. It also contributes to the strength, elasticity, and overall health of your hair.
Your hair will go through three phases over its lifecycle: growth, rest, shed. When you utilize sulfur in your hair care routine, you can lengthen the growing phase and see longer hair! Not only that, but sulfur has also been shown to help treat and relieve the symptoms of psoriasis, eczema, dandruff and more. So if you are looking to add additional growth with health benefits for your scalp as well, sulfur is the way to go!
Make Your Own Hair Mixture
If you prefer to make your own mixture here are our two favorite oils to create:
· 1 tsp sulfur powder
· 1 cup of your favorite oil (coconut or castor is our preference)
· Optional: 10 drops of your favorite essential oils (we suggest lavender, peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, etc.)
Mix all ingredients together in an applicator bottle using a funnel to ensure you can get it all in the bottle. Give it a good shake and distribute it to your scalp. Be sure to not over-saturate, just dab it on with the bottle at your roots. Massage into your scalp. You can choose to leave it on overnight, or rinse with your normal wash routine after 30 minutes. You can repeat it daily if you’d like.
Love it! Thanks a lot!
