Well honey, i am going to wait until i hear your results. i cannot find sulphur where i am to whip up my own stuff. everyone keeps saying i need a permit to get sulphur- then i thought... what do they think i am making gunpowder or something.. someone actually asked me what else was i gonna do with it..
The thing is for me to get 1 bottle i have to pay $14 shipping. sometimes i feel like i am in the North Pole or something

The PJ in me cries every day. but i've been lurking on LHCF and they have reported very good results with this stuff. So i may actually see if i can order a couple bottles so that the shipping pays off. the thing is what if it doesn't work for me...

Hey Divavocals that's what I heard too that why I wanted to try it. But I am getting really irritated right now because it has been 8 business days and I have not received it yet and I didn't get order confirmation but I got a reply email saying they did have my order. All I know is if I don't hear from her today with my tracking# I am going to cancel it on my card

i've been on LCHF lately and i'm seeing all the results in the fotkis. so honey i folded and put the money out for the BT. i am now waiting for it to arrive.
so it will take about 2 weeks to get here apparently. maybe longer if customs decide to call in NASA to check its properties, incase there is any alien substances in there.

Lol kellie it was hard for me too looking at all those sucess stories...I hope they don't delay ur package when it gets to Canada ...if I hadn't heard so many neg things about MTG I was about to buy it too. I am trying to use it everyday now because that was read from 1 sucess story on LHCF. I could feel my scalp tingle when I applied it.

i found out this morning that I can't get any BT because i am in Canada and Canada is considered international shipping. WT*.
well i gotta say, We share our water with America, why can't we share shipping?????

Tell me about it.. Canada international. i still can't get over it.... all this time i thought we were neighbours, learning your history and all...
Anyways, thanks for the offer honey.. i am going into the lab on this one.
i think i have a few ideas that i will look into.
i have been checking out some of the recipes on LHCF too, so i am sure i will come up with something . BT or TB something's gotta give.....
BTW.... watch it with the BT i hear a little goes a long way...you don't want to end up.. only you and BT together forever...

I don't understand why you can't get it Canada.. If you pay for international shipping you should be able to get your product.. It's just a matter of filling out the international paperwork with the correct package descriptions so that the package will clear customs.. Try inquiring with My Mane Attractions.. they carry Boundless Tresses, and I believe they will ship to Canada..

I haven't been using it 100% consistently but I have been using it about 2x a week...i can tell that's it helped fill in my edges since I took my braids out but I can wait to flat iron at the end of September to see the grown I retained

Good! This is sort of off topic, but I my ends and I are definitely at a crossroads... I know about them splitting up the hair shaft and things, but my hair looks so healthy. I'm going to just keep on with it and see how it goes.

If you want to make your own. Here's a recipe I got from another forum.
Ingredients:
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Coconut oil
Jojoba oil
Pure sulphur (yellow colour)
Empty MTG 32OZ bottle for good measure....i fill the bottom about a full inch of sulfur powder and fill the remainder with the natural oils. leave the mixture for a day or two so that the sulphur can dissolve a bit into the oil mix. give it a good shake before applying the sulphur to scalp/hair area. if you find the mix clumps together run it through the blender.
I purchased the sulfur on ebay--
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5606650949 - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5606650949
eta: I make my own version using a 12 oz bottle.
2 teaspoons of sulfur
4 oz. jojoba oil
3 oz. olive oil
4 oz coconut oil
10 drops essential oil (you pick scent, however, I've used lavender , lemon, or rosemary)
Shake well before apply.

Hey Ladies! I ordered Boundless Tresses last week and it arrived last night (about 5 business days), not bad. Including the shipping fee, I paid $17.75. I used it according to directions, trying to apply it only to my scalp. It is so greasy and runny of course it didn't just stay on my scalp so after wrappin my hair I am definately one greasy sista today. My hair is relaxed with only 1.5 inches of new growth (plus the new growth was pressed straight) . I think if I had more new growth the kinks would have trapped some of that oil and kept it from sliding throughout my hair. I think it will be fine if used when wet setting. I'm going to stick to it and measure my results after 4 weeks. I'm pretty consistent at 1/2" of growth per month, so I'll know if it is doing anything. I'll check back in September with a before and after shot.

Yep that stuff so greasy! But I like applying a little oil to my scalp so why not just use this stuff if it makes my hair grow? Someone is making a killing off of this though. The container looks like someone used a old printer and taped the contents on the bottle.

Hey I just did a very very very light dusting the first in maybe 5 months and I have not been seeing broken hairs only shed hairs when I do my hair...I do see splits but since cowashing/rinsing daily and obsessive search and destroys those are few and far between... girl do what you gotta do if your hair is healthy and your not seeing little broken off pieces then why cut off your progress

mslady, thanks for sharing the recipe..i was lurking on blackhairmedia.com..man, there was a real big "to do" between the vendors and the Boundless Tresses exilir..or a copy of it? not sure..
It had gotten so bad that they had to finally "lock" the topic..i was trying to figure out what "product" they were talking about..apparently, they couldn't mention any names..when finally "BT" was the name the vendors would use on the forum during this intense discussion...
i am so glad you posted the recipe..we also found the recipe posted on the "long hair forum", and many other places...i am so grateful that the "recipe" or any version thereof, is not a big "secret"..
Thus, i've started a thread, sharing the recipe with other forum members...would you believe other forum members also shared their version of it as well? Plus offering to help any forum members who don't have access to sulphur..it's great!
You've started a wonderful trend, MsLady..The women on the BlackHairMedia forum thank you!

Your welcome femme.
I, too, had ordered boundless tresses when I decided to do a thorough search on LHCF. Guess what? The lady who sells BT isn't the lady who created it according to the LHCF. It seems that someone else started it and the BT seller found it, created it, maybe tweaked it and is now selling to everyone online. Not knocking BT seller for getting her hussle on.

I just realized I could make the recipe myself for cheaper.
2 teaspoons of sulfur (purchased from ebay)
4 oz. jojoba oil (craft or health food store)
3 oz. olive oil (grocery store)
4 oz coconut oil (grocery store)
10 drops essential oil (craft or health food store)
eta: I recently add about 1 oz of Surge to my concoction.

Well, looks as if the BT seller isn't the only one.. There is someone else who is selling it on the forum under her name..This is where the fur started flying..it really became ugly..still is..
Can you tell me: what is Surge? Apparently, they stopped making it..plus it came in different formulas..Surge 9, then that discontinued Surge 14..then they said, this has been put on hold..
What is Surge anyway? everyone is talking about it..That, MTG (i have no idea what that is) and Monistat..
also, Have you ever heard of Ting Ting?

Femme-- Surge is a growth aid.
Surge Hair Revitalizer Plus 14 Increases Hair Growth Stops Split Ends and Breakage
Surge Plus 14 utilizes a special combination of proteins to help stimulate and promote hair growth. Biotin and Keratin Proteins as well as Aloe Vera help stop split ends and the hair from breaking while the muccopolysaccharides help promote hair growth. Within 14 days you should notice a difference in your hair. Plus 14 can also be used as a detangler and will leave your hair tangle free without breakage.
Directions: Spray directly into scalp, part hair or braid then spray scalp. For best results shampoo hair and use twice a day. As a detangler and to stop split ends, spray directly on hair.
**************************************
MTG is Main, Tail and Growth by Shapley's.
It's a product that was orginally formulate for humans but used now predominately in the equine sector (for horses). The main thing that helps with the hair for human growth is sulfur which MTG has but it STANKS to high heaven. That's why many women started making their own sulfur versions of MTG without the stank factor.
***********************************************************
Miconazole nitrate, an antifungal agent, is used for skin infections such as athlete's foot and jock itch and for vaginal yeast infections. Miconazole comes in cream, lotion, powder, spray liquid, and spray powder to be applied to the skin. However, many ladies mix it with other stuff and apply it to the scalp to promote hair growth.
Miconazole nitrate is the ingrediant in Monistat (yeast infection cream) and NeosporinAF.
*********************************************************
I have never heard of Ting Ting.

okay, MN is what i'm hearing about...about one year ago, someone came on the BHM forum, saying: "I can't believe women resort to this"..and because it seems to yield very good results, everyone is using it..
Well, not everyone..
Thank you for all of the information...i guess i can't make surge 14 at home, but the Boundless Tresses is good enough..it's only been two months since i've been out of my weave, and i am trying like the dickens to thicken my hair up..
I've been in a weave and cornrows for so long, i wonder if my hair was ever thick to begin with..when i wore it naturally, it was sooo hard to manage..it shrank immediately coming out of the shower...and it's 4c..to boot..
with a very mild texturizer, it's so much easier to work with especially after washing...but it's thinner..my beautician said i would have to wait at least 6 months to a year to let the hair get back to it's old self again..especially after years of "binding it up" in braids, weaves, and what was worse, perms under a net weave..
It's shoulder length, with bald sides and bang area from no-lye relaxers and flat-ironing (to "match" the silky straight weave)..
The sides are coming in very nicely after two months ..(they used to be chin length, now they're nubbles..before that, they were totally slick/bald...
The BT recipe will really be a huge help..thanks again..
Ting Ting is an asian head massager..Asians swear by it to grow their hair..check it out on amazon.com..just do a search on "Ting Ting"..

Are you serious!?!
Is this like, ask a ridiculous question day
If you're really asking this question, you need to ask what the hell it is that would make you go to these extremes for hair growth.
I don't know how many times I can stress this! We do not need to be going crazy with hair growth methods, this world tells you you need long hair to be beuatiful, and this life is much more important than that
I don't mean to rant, but COME ON! Even in school they say not to smell,taste, or get any of the stuff in chemistry labs on your skin.
Its not that hard, don't lose your natural ability to THINK because of growing hair

My lab professor said that it's the same thing as the powder being bought on ebay and that sulfur is a benign element. Which is why it would be fine for hair growth and repairing cells. So, no, it was not a ridiculous question. You get no Amen for that answer.

No hard feelings Taggi. It's no big deal
Hi blackhoney. Yes I have. I used Jojoba oil, Coconut oil, Olive oil, Grapeseed oil, a few drops of tea tree and a couple drops of lavender. It smells pretty nice and my hair feels really soft with it.

here's the thing, i starting using MTG about 4 weeks ago ... my edges are amazing. i'm in shock at how quickly its thickened up .. however, no luck on my bald patch as of yet. for that i'm getting cortisone shots from dermatologist every 4 weeks - in that one spot.
anyways, just wanted to give my 2 cents ... by the way, MTG is totally freaking me out (becuase it is used for horses) so i'm switching to WGO. however, all of this is stuff is way too oily for me. i'm tired of changing my pillow cases ... i'll never get a man to sleep over with this hair regimen :)

Ambimolia-- I would recommend every other day. Also, sulfur removes color from hair, thus some ladies report having a few grey strands here and there.
Blackbeauty--As for MTG, it does work. However, perhaps you are applying too much if you if you are changing your pillow cases often. Also, it has been debated, discussed, and argued about MTG. Even several ladies have emailed the owner of Shapley and inquired about MTG for human use back in all the hooplah about using a
"horse product" on your hair.
If you go to Shapleys.com you can see
it. It has done human trials and derm tested. The response states the history of MTG, originally made for humans, then marketed
towards horses which it was found to also work well on, and that she had in
recent years received so much correspondence from people having used it on
themselves and gotten such great results. And she goes on to list the
ingredients to show its all natural ingredients and it safe for both animals and
humans to use. She mentions lastly in the email that they are working on a line
specifically for human use --later to be the SULU one which actually their SULU
GRO MAX. SULU GRO MAX is for those who cannot take the smell of the
originally MTG.
The end result the main
ingredient is sulphur. BHM women started making their own with carrier oils,
sulphur and essential oils...hence came Boundless Tresses, Claudie's Elixir,
Lenzi's Request and if you do a search on the forum some members posted their own
concoctions.

Hey mslady ... thanks so much for the info ... i really appreciate it. i think i'm going to make my own sulfur oil as well (i'm thinking Emu and sulfur) but im waiting to run out of this other stuff.
oh yeah, got my hair was and set yesterday by the dominicans ... i have to admit that i've grown at least an 1 inch in a month with MTG... too darn bad it smells like bacon. everytime i put that thing on (1x week), my son asks me what am i cooking! oh well, i'm at 2" pass shoulder trying to get to arm pit.. need 3-6 inches ... wish me luck ladies!

Although i've been getting some extra growth. I'm still not sure if i'm using it correctly. Am i suppose to put the MTG or Sulu (or whatever i'm using this week) :) on at night 1-2x a week and then wash it out in the morning. Or am i suppose to walk around with it allweek? just curious. also how is everyone else using it. just want to make sure i'm doing the right thing.

I've used Boundless Tresses for 2 yrs and it is the business. I cut off 4yr locs and decided to get a perm after 1yr with braids. I have grown my hair out to 3 in from BSL. My hair is beautiful I must say. I will have to post some pics.
