Yes! MSM is a supplement. Click on the link I posted for Princess1 above, it will tell you about a study done with it. It's the same MSM that I take. A 16 oz. jar was 17.99 and it instructs to take 1/2 tsp. once a day. So, it lasts a long time!!

I believe Surge is a protein (someone plz correct me if I'm wrong) and a mild protein can be used daily as long as you are sure to amply moisturize. That may have been the reasoning behind your initial breakage. I am glad that the S-Curl worked though, I SOAK my hair with it. I'm not too concerned about how oily my satin cap or pillow are as long as my hair is staying attached to the roots :-)

Random side question, is Infusium 23 Leave-in (moisture formula) considered a proteing as well?

I have never heard of MSM, is it a supplement???

i use surge and take msm.

with the surge i think it works- but i didnt know about the moisture thing, and i noticed on my right temple my hair BROKE!!

when i was about 1/2 way through my first bottle of surge, i bourght another one and filled up the 1/2used one with scurl spray and i use that on the ends of my braids. i use the full surge bottle(that is not mixed with anything) on my scalp and follow with WGO. my right temple is comming back again!

with the msm i notice that my hair has become alot thicker, but i am not using it as regular as i used to! ill start taking it again on a regular soon though cos i really did notice a difference

I have been using Surge religiously (although not twice a day like the bottle recommends, that's just doin way too much) and have not experienced any itching, burning, or breakage as a result of Surge. I also make sure that I follow up with a moisturizer (ORS Olive Oil or S-Curl, or both) and a lot of it too. I have just finished the bottle (bought it maybe 2 months ago) and will definitely be buying another one really soon :-). Hope this helps...

Yes it does. I've noticed a good increase in growth. I use to relax my hair every 3 or 4 months and I'm needing to relax it every 10 weeks or so now. I'm entering week 8 right now and I have a good amount a new growth. When I do relax again, I'll post new pics to compare how much it's grown.

Hi Princess! I bought a bottle of Surge and never used it because I heard many bad remarks about it. Some suffered from burning and itching and breakage. I also take MSM which is actually a supplement for connective tissue. It's in powdered form. I purchased it in January and I can say that I haven't had alot of breakage and it did change my texture a bit (the curl was alittle looser.). I believe it works better because it's taken internally not topically (although many topical treatments works.). There are a few sites to check out for MSM, when I find it I'll post it here for you.

I have seen SURGE and MSM a couple of times in some of the blogs and I was wondering if anyone uses either of them.  If so, can you tell me how well they work and which one is better to use?
