Hey Y'all! So I have been seeing the comments y'all were leaving about the amount that I was taking and how 1 tablespoon is too much. *I just want to clarify, I was taking at my MAX one 1 teaspoon.* When I was editing the video, I thought I misspoke and added the "tablespoon" onto the screen to correct myself when I did not need to. For that, I am sorry for the confusion! And you guys are right, I should have done more research into something I was ingesting into my body. I didn't and I quickly learned my lesson for doing that. That is why I made the video. I want you guys to learn from my mistake. If you take them and they work for you, that's great. I am not taking away from your experience. I am simply sharing mine. Thank you to everyone that has wished me, my family, and my mental health well! I have not felt the way I described in the video since I stopped taking the MSM 🙂
Two weeks isn’t long enough to see hair growth. Hair grows at 1/4 to 1/2 inch per month, depending on the person. Fast hair growth videos are just CLICK BAIT. Glad you are better
Yes. I have been taking MSM and I have seen growth, but stopped taking it because of the headaches. Now I am taking the crystals, but I grandes it into a powder form and seeing if I can stay consistent.
I retained 5 inches without all the extra stuff but I drink a ton of water, drink herbal tea, use homemade herbal products in my hair and I keep it twisted up... not click bate. It’s very real.
I use the same brand of msm it was $40 on Amazon. I use it in my DYI hair growth oils, deep conditioners and my refresher sprays. I just grind up my msm because of the large crystals. When I take the msm I only use an 1/8th tsp in my coffee with collagen peptide and vitamin c. I must say this has aided me to growing my hair to waist length. I'm hoping to grow my hair longer because now my goal is to reach hip length.
That's a really good idea, grinding them up I mean and making it into a topical thing! I'm happy that they worked well for you, and that you are seeing results 💛
Oh my gosh you were doing so well. I have not tried it orally yet but in my oils. Since it also helps the immune system according to my jar doctor's best and skin and joint discomfort and probably some other things I may need to try some orally because the oil has lasted forever that I mixed up and the powder will expire in 2022 so even though it was only $15 I don't want to waste it and you use so little in the oils. Congratulations on your accomplishments. You're sort of like me, I'm at waist length as well but now I'm curious as to just how long my hair can get!
@@charleneg1372 MSM works best when taken with vitamin C so you don't have to necessarily throw the collagen in the mix at the same time. You can take it another time during the day or you can put all of that in a smoothie or as I did I sprinkled it on top of a sweet potato and then covered that with marshmallows cinnamon and raisin it kind of melt in but I do not take the MSN orally. If I put MSM on my scalp then I take vitamin C tab orally. So don't limit yourself to just coffee, sprinkle it wherever on whatever you like even a salad.

hi! i was reading up on how some people don’t process sulphur very well and a build up can cause the depression symptoms you speak of. it would be similar to an adverse effect from an antidepressant as sulphur levels influence your serotonin and dopamine levels in a similar fashion. it wouldn’t be a far stretch to say that the sulphur was responsible for that sudden intense depression
Hi. Not sure if you saw the MSM video by youtuber Curly Proverbz, but she said to only use 1/8 teaspoon MSM along with vitamin C. It sounds like you started with more than 1/8th. I hope your days are brighter, Sis. ❤🖤💚
I have been using MSM since may and I love it !!! I use very little and I have not increased the amount at all .I’m having no problem I just drink lots of water all the time.
Aw sweetheart, I'm so sorry you went though hell and back, but MSM is known to causes mood swings, insomnia, weight gain. ect ect ect. I could go on and on. I'm a register nurse, and we are trained to look at factors that could have caused you to spiral into your depression. First and foremost, as a nurse, your mental health far exceeds any kind of hair growth, or any kind of beauty regime. I'm very happy that you are feeling better that is far more important. Now, I suffer from severe depression, and it is a constant struggle most days. I did my research on MSM, and I was hesitant because of it causing mood swings. I'm a big guy I'm 6'4 220. I started off with 1/8 teaspoon. I would added it to my hibiscus hot tea, and a some collagen powder. *Knock on wood* I have been fortunate not to have any side effect thus far (I'm a little more gas, than usual). When I go to work I dissolve 1/8 teaspoon of MSM in hot water, and stir it into my cold tea as I drive to work. However, from all the research I did it stresses to drink at least 2 liters of water. Most people are like: bitch you crazy! I'm a floor nurse, so I'm constantly running around and I do end up drink to full 2 liters of water. I'm not sure if you have tried Collagen Peptides Powder | Hydrolyzed Type 1&3 Collagen | Non-GMO Verified, Certified Paleo Friendly and Gluten Free - Unflavored (32oz Jar) . I put two scoops into my hot tea. I love this brand because it completely dissolves, and if I have something gritty at the end of my tea, it makes me want to barf. Anything taken internally it takes time to show any results. I've noticed with that brand of collagen my hair and nails are growing like mad, but it took almost 3 months of constant use to see any benefits. If you are up to it, perhaps you should try the MSM again, with extreme caution. 1/8 for a month, and dissolve it in hot water, and add it to your favorite cold beverage, or add it to your hot tea. DRINK a least 2 liters of water! If anyone leaves a mean comment because you spoke your truth, than they can have the middle finger! The unique thing about our body's is that we are all different, some of us take ungodly amounts of certain things that would kill the next person. If you are not comfortable taking MSM again, then don't. Thank you for speaking your truth. Love and support of a nurse
SO GLAD I found your comment ! I’ve gained just over 10 pounds and that NEVER happens. Adding MSM has been my only consistent addition and I wondering if it’s that
Trust me its the msm....i had to stop it 2 weeks ago. I gained 15 pounds in 2 month...i wouldn't have cared much cos i thought i will just work out more. But my periods completely stopped till i stopped it as well...got my period back 10 days after stopping it.
Sounds like it was pulling the toxins from your system, a buildup of toxins....maybe too fast for your system, hence the depression. Tiny amount would of been better, maybe once a week. Toxins, when alot are pulled together, especially too fast, can affect the mind. Has to be done gently. Some may not feel affected, obviously. Depends on your system.
@@cgal505 taking 1 teaspoon the first time is tooo much you should start with 1/8 once in the morning, then after a week or two 1/8 morning and night and building it up like this. 2 teaspoons is over the recommended daily amount - so much msm gives headaches, nausea, diarrhoea etc.
I love how amazingly honest you are about your experience and open you are about how it could be linked to your mental health. I wish whatever you and your family are going through all the happiness and positivity ye need to make it true. Subscribing to you was definitely a positive thing I did in 2020. All the love xx
It is true not all products work the same for everyone. Just keep in mind that MSM is a sulfur based compound. It is possible you should have not used the Sulfur 8 topical and MSM together. Use one or the other maybe that may have worked for you.
I'm soooo happy for your first sponsored video. I'm sad to hear of your experience with the sulfur 8, doo grow & MSM. I use all of them with no incidence thus far but I don't use daily. I happy you are feeling better, mental health is nothing to play with when many people suffer from depression, especially close to the holidays
thank you for the well wishes! I didn't even google it until after I started taking them. Such a mistake. Whether it work or not, I shouldn't be so cavalier about putting something in my body
Msm is like a detoxifyer also u have to start very small to see how it adjust to your body we all react differently to stuff also you have to drink plenty of water hope all is well with you stay bless
That happened to me when taking Biotin. I got really bad ance within a week of taking it and I never had ance in my whole life. I wasn't drinking water at that time. So alot of ppl was saying I wasn't drinking enough water.
You've got such beautiful skin. Not all MSMs are made equal. The best g=form of MSM is Opti-MSM. A FORM that is most bioavailable for absorption in the body. Some MSMs have fillers, preservatives (to prevent clumping of the powder) or are artificially made. The most naturally occuring form of MSM are the coarse flakes (called flakes but are like crystals) as oppose to the fine powder. Dr Best's Opti-MSM is apparently one of the good ones. Thanks for the video, now I know not to take it mixed with vit C. However, vit C is necessary for MSM absorption but to be taken separately.
Not all oils are sealants some are moisturizer/ carrier oils. Moisturizing/penetrating oils: coconut oil, sunflower oil, and palm kernel oil Partially penetrating and sealing oils: avocado oil, olive oil, and argan oil Sealing oils: jojoba oil and rice bran oil To get the best out of partially penetrating oils use heat i.e use in a hot oil treatment
I hear you ,I took MSM for only 3 days and my depression got really bad and my migraine got worse ,I have been feeling my worse for two days thankfully I found your video and an other youtuber talking about real side effects of MSM it is definitely not for me either ,Thank you for sharing and you are absolutely gorgeous!!!
Oil IS a sealant, which is why its not the best thing to use on DRY hair. However, hair that is moisturized does well with oil, and as always. To each his/ her own. Since every ones hair acts and reacts differently to different things.
My mom use tar and sulfur grease.. my siblings and I have very long hair and it's thick. Prell is the shampoo, which I don't thick is sold anymore. Royal crown is a grease for hair...in a green round container. We swallow castor oil and put on hair. No perms only Natura. We use stream water, ( natural running underground water) not tap water. I never known oil to dry a person hair🙄
Hey y'all, I just pinned a comment addressing the amount I was taking. I was taking the amount on the directions, I just misspoke in the video. Again, so sorry for the confusion!
That is about the average rate of growth about a half inch a month so I have to wonder how well the MSM works. Congratulations though in the event that you have slower hair growth like maybe 1/4 inch per month.
@@sable7114 I have never been able to retain that much hair in my life so it was definitely the MSM. My hair may have grown but it has always broken at the ends
I started taking it and the stomach pain was insane I thought I was dying Plus I felt sad all the time for no real reason Then the diarrhea! Night sweats and nightmares, I was lucid in my sleep. Read about taking smaller doses and drinking lots of water Did that, nothing changed So I just stopped yesterday and still hoping for the stomach ache to go. Be careful
Same here , stomachache and headache was real ! Have you taken vitamin c with it ans drink a lot of water ? I seen it on RUclips after the fact I took it and was wondering if that was the reason I was feeling like crap !
I think it’s the detox period we are experiencing. I started using it again for the past two days and my head hurts and I’m getting hot flashes. But I know I need to hydrate more. This is the same ingredient in Hairfinity which worked wonders for me. MSM and vitamin C is just a cheaper way out without the biotin (breaks me out bad). The best oils for me is black castor oil, and olive oil.
That "MSMs" was driving me crazy because I kept wanting M&Ms after you said it. LOL. So sorry that happened to you. I actually heard it can work as an ANTI depressant so it was shocking to hear your account. It works so well for me. Gives me gas on occasion but I'm a gassy girl so I can deal with it. Other than that I love it. Works well for sore joints too (which it's actually intended for). With that being said EVERYONE's body works differently and processes things different. It's important that you posted this video because there could be someone who got this type of depression from taking MSM and have no idea where it came from and is STILL taking it because there is nothing out there that states that as a side affect. Stumbling across your video will help them realize whats going on so they can stop taking it before something crazy happens. Thanks for the video.
Sulfur 8 is good. My mom used to use it on my hair growing up. The smell doesn't bother me. Everything that has a medicated smell isn't a problem as long as it works. We know that we have smelled other things that are worse Who cares what people thinks? I sure don't.
Imperfection Perfected1980 i didn't ask, & you're supposed to introduce your body to it in small doses when you fist start taking it. enjoy your MSM & your day. ❤️
Yeah. Our bodies are not use to it! Also you should be very very hydrated while taking msm!! If you’re going to the bathroom after you take msm it is extremely important to replenish all the water that is being lost. (Maybe half of a gallon a day ). I’m not saying that this would fix the depression that you were but could prevent your body from being harmed.
Congrats on your first sponsor 💕💕 I love the fact that it’s a small business with quality resources, and it’s pretty affordable for the quality. Also you’re literally a shape shifter i thought you were younger than you are but so you are stunning! 😍💕
awww thank you so much!! And yes, their stuff is really good and they are things that I will be able to keep for years. And yeah, people always tell me how young a look lol
I understand hun.I have been going through it myself recently. Nothing to do with MSM but I'm praying that it helps my growth . I hope that everything is going well for you hun.
I also do hair challenges on my channel, however I believe the sulphur 8 or the virgin hair fertilizer may have damaged my scalp; made it sensitive. I tried doo gro and sulphur 8, i"ve also tried virgin hair fertilizer, wild growth oil and a few others. The Virgin hair fertilizer gave the best results length wise and in a short space of time (All documented on my channel). However I think castor oil and dax grease may be better for my hair's overall health. Thanks for the video.
thank you for watching and for sharing your experience as well! From what I'm gathering in these comments, MSM is a hit and miss. It just depends on the person it seems!
Tablespoons??? Or teaspoons?? If tablespoons it seems like you were taking too much which is why it was so bad..also msm is well researched if you looked it up you would see it is for more than just hair growth in fact its original use isnt really for anything cosmetic related... but its good that u stopped before it got any worse🤗
Thank you so much for being the first person to bring this discrepancy up! You made me go back and look at the tool I used to take it and it was definitely a teaspoon 🤦🏾♀️. I misspoke and what was very confusing! But yes, I'm happy I stopped taking them because I have been back to normal ever since!
Girl I feel you😔 We have to keep in mind that not everything will work well for everybody as we're not all the same. One thing may work for me but be so bad for you. Thanks for sharing your experience girl💜💜💜
I was using the same brand. I attempted taking it every morning with my tea but it really made my skin break out horribly . I had to stop taking it by mouth however I have added it to a water spray bottle and spray it on my scalp every few days and man has my hair started to take off growth wise ! I only spray the msm on my scalp though because spraying it on my actual hair strands tends to make it feel weird. As far as vitamins go I started taking a super vitamin powder (that has all my veggies ,fruits, and probiotics for the day) and this is has also contributed to growth without messing up my skin. We focus on hair vitamins but sometimes it is other nutrients that we are missing that is hindering or slowing our hair growth.
Well be careful. My use was topical. But I do have an allergy to SULFA medications and products, so I'm stuck with it. NEVER again! I will go bald first! Lol
Ain't that the truth! I can't get to my fast foods and junkie food so I'm having to eat the healthy stuff and all sorts of things are growing! In other words , I look better on all levels. I guess you truly are what you eat. Hope it's not just that the pollution was so bad that was making things look bad but now that I'm inside I'm being protected from all of that stuff.
Brendah Immie I tried so hard 😭😭😭. Peeing every five minutes . I think you need to be drinking gallons in order to not break out . I do admit that my diet at the time wasn’t the cleanest either so that probably made it worse .
Hi Simone. This is my first time visiting your channel. I want to thank you for your honesty and courage in telling about your experience. Having gone through a major depression myself, I thoroughly agree with your decision not to risk taking it again. Very scary! I'm probably much older than most of your viewers {66) I've subscribed to various hair care channels and tried almost everything to grow my hair. My hair has been thinning for about 10 years and nothing seems to work. In the last year or 2 it has also been breaking.
Thank you for sharing ur experience....I've also tried MSM and it was way too strong for my body too....I didn't experience depression, but it acted more like a detox for me so, I only ingest it once or twice a week. And I have seen immediate hair growth since using it, especially in my eyebrows 🙂
Thank you for this honest feedback and your transparency, there’s lots of these vids around and it can be scary to know what works and doesn’t. Especially when nobody knows they can be this strong on your mental state. Detox is a big deal, start with small doses with anything you’re new to. Sorry to hear you went thru this, but I’m glad the cloud is cleared a bit for you, sis🙏🏾💃🏽
The headaches you can get from taking to much msm at first... I only took 1/4 tsp and I needed to start at 1/8th and go slower than what people recommend Also, if you really want more sulphur in your diet, Onions, garlic, anything in the allicin family. You don't need any supplements if you don't want to take any. Msm CAN build up in you to unhealthy levels. It's why your supposed to take breaks from it. I do 3-4 weeks on, 1 off. If you are eating alot of vegtables, you very Likley won't need much if any of added msm. I've read online it's given people insomnia, headaches, stomach ache, thinner blood, increased acne ect You are not wrong in thinking this could be the reason for your mental state. Your 💯 justified. The fact your symptoms went after 3 days says alot. I'm glad your better.
This is the first time Ive heard of taking breaks from msm. Interesting, because you kind of confirmed my suspicions. I was wondering if I should take it for about 3 weeks, then stop for a week or 2, then get back on it, and use it that way. I've heard a lot of people talk about it messing up their period, so I was wondering if I should basically stop it by the time I ovulate, which would be 2.5 weeks on 2.5 weeks off. Or stop it like a week before my period is expected, which would be 3 weeks on and 1 week off.
So Tresses Of Alexis just asked a question on her community page. What is something that isn’t talked about in the natural hair community. I truly believe we need to discuss why more DIYs can be more damaging to hair and health than some of the things we buy in the store. I never really understood the cocktail of Doo grow with Slufur 8 and or Wild Growth oil. You are correct in saying that a lot of popular oil blends seal in the dryness, and end up causing more dryness and breakage. I suffered for a long time not understanding why my hair wasn’t at it’s best. The simple answer is it was dry as the desert. The fact of the matter is that water is moisture.
I would say water is hydrating and oils or other sealants are moisturizing(they decrease the rate of hydration loss) . But I think the hair community needs to think about rehydration, in your case I'm guessing you put moisturizer on dry hair which isn't good. Try it in wet/ damp hair, then maybe rehydrate in a few days.
@@Vibezincomming I'd agree. Additionally, alot of the "oils" or "oil"mixtures in the stores aren't actual plant oils, but an earth(?) oil. Things like mineral oil, or petrolatum(vaseline) perform completely differently than an oil derived from plants like olive, coconut, almond, etc.
Girllll don't get me started on OILS!! But speaking against them is almost taboo in the community! But I don't understand why. If they work for you that's okay. But oils are not the end all for some people. (Me 🙋🏾♀️, I'm some people 😂)
Watching your video while talking about sulfur 8 made me laugh... Growing up in the 80s, so many of us didn't have a choice about that hair product because our mom's didn't make it an option.,😂😂😂
Praying for your healing. Sound like depression. I have been through that exactly what you're describing. It could be due to hormone changes. Talk to your doctor, and you should be fine.
This is the first video I have seen of yours. I really felt your pain and in no way doubt your experience. I also appreciated your honesty on the product reviews. Always speak your truth ❤ I hope you continue to improve
Girl...i truly agree with you 100%..about this ladies don't experience this it's so bad do bad it doesn't matter what kind of MSM you take it does affect your health..headache, high blood, pain,depression, breathing....heart palpitations..horrible...dizziness..vomit..nausea...you name them MSM ...thank you so much my dear for bringing this up it's really informative..and God Bless...
@@sylviaallen-ouzts9953 did you already have hormonal issues before taking MSM? is it really going to make hair grow around the mouth, if hair was not there before?
I’m so glad I found this video. I experienced depression and dizzy spells and couldn’t put a finger on what was causing it. The first time I tried MSM was while we were on lockdown and I had more time to make sure I was drinking the appropriate amount of water etc. Now that we’re “back to life” and the stress that comes along with it..MSM no longer fits my lifestyle. And when I stopped taking it this time around almost immediately my nails all broke and my hair started shedding again :(
I also started taking MSM after following a youtuber's advice. MY HAIR STARTED SHEDDING LIKE CRAZY. I COULD NOT retain ANY length. I just woke up one day and was like huh? My hair used to swing on my shoulders and now it barely reaches my neck. It took me 1.5 years to get my hair back to where it used to be. Now I'm soo cautious. I'll follow a diy if the ingredients are natural or plant based or oil based. Never chemicals!
Girl when I say you are one of MANY to say this in this comment section!! I really feel like this stuff can be a HIT for some people, and a majorrrr miss for others!
i wish i knew this before, 1 month earlier i started taking MSM vitamin C, and my Hair shedding Like Crazy, but u guys in the comment section finally helped me, definitely stopping it Thanks
I'm so sorry you had to experience that depressive state. No matter how long it lasts it's horrible and strips people of their true personality, and life if for too long. Im so glad you knew the cause and could return to life
In the 70’s, Sulfur 8 used to be so strong. When my mom used to use the hot comb to straighten my hair with Sulfur 8, that smell used to stink! But it would grow my hair, I am using it again on my hair. Old School hair products works so well.
Thank you. I've watched the YT channels promoting these products and was considered trying them, but suffering from serve anxiety, so are having 2nd thoughts. I must say my hair oils, Aloe Vera and just keeping my hands out if my head every 5 mins 😆 has helped with my hair growth
This is my first visit to your channel. Like the others who commented on your incredibly honest video, I am so sorry for your reactions to the two products. Interestingly enough, I just viewed another channel that recommended using MSM for rapid hair growth, either taking it orally or creating a haircare product. I was considering using the powder form. However, I think I will keep shopping around for a diy formula that I can try and embrace. God bless you, Lovely Lady, for sharing your experience. 🙏🏾
I use Sulfur 8 the light formula but I mix it with blue magic castor oil and a herb oil mix I make. I add fragrance oil to kill the smell and it works. The light formula doesn't smell as bad and it works.
Thank you for your honesty on how MSM affected you. I've struggled with mental health issues for YEARS and I have to be careful. The good thing about this is I know it where so many don't recognize what's going on. I've thought about taking this, actually have it in my home and will be very careful taking it. Don't worry about what people say, no matter what you do, somebody has something to say. If they don't want your honest assessment, they shouldn't be on your site. Bless you and have a good day.
After taking MSM for a few months my nails grew more in those months than they did in the year prior !!!!! My hair was already long (shoulder length, im male) , but it did seem like it doubled in growth rate, but i did not measure. Nails are easier to notice
Amen, I'm happy to hear you stopped taking the msm. As for me? I broke out in really bad hives and swelling. Everything doesn't work for everyone. You are a beautiful young woman with a purpose I pray your circumstances improve and I thank you for your honesty. I was very intrigued by your video. Thanks sis, and no matter what you go through give it to God, he will help you. I wish you a prosperous blessed life.💜
AMEN!! she could just be allergic to sulfur i found out i was allergic to sulfur 3yrs ago so anything that requires sulfer i will breakout also sulfer in medicine products will effect you also so we just always have to do our own research an stop feeding into all the things others do on the internet...
Sulfonamides (quite a common ingredient in antibiotics)medication is also called sulfa drugs. Nothing to do at all with organic sulfur whatsoever...msm cannot build up in your body (its water soluble) and actually is a liitle known natural way to help allergy sufferers. The reactions she had were specific to her introducing it into her body too fast. Many stick with 1/8 for a couple weeks before titrating up. She said she tried it for 2 weeks and was at 1 full tspoon before stopping people are inclined to blame sulfur when they get side effects but the reality is its the toxins pushing out too fast...and if she wasnt drinking 9 or 10 glasses of water at the time those toxins had nowhere to go unfortunately. Sulfur is literally classified as a food because we need it and we cant produce it on our own. The toxins are not sulfur they were already there and are proof how useful sulfur actually is in trying to get rid of them. Just people gotta take it slow cause we are all FULL of toxins. Hope that helps clear up the confusion
Great review. Not sure why so many comments about you didn’t use it long enough. People are missing the point. I agree with you. I tried MSM too and it gave me horrible headaches! Listen to your body ❤️
You did great with this info. We’re all different & MSM is not meant for me to ingest. I had a similar experience & will be posting a video soon about it cuz sis 😭Thanks for sharing 💕💕💕
I'm so sorry you went through that. I just started taking it myself. I'm a heavy person so I have to take 2 teaspoons according to the directions and the taste is honestly unbearable. You could be allergic to it however. I can take liquid biotin but my sis CANNOT she gets headaches and terrible breakouts. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's for you.
I am sorry to hear about your experience. I know Sulphur 8 and Wild Growth oil smells awful, but hear me out.😂 I started using Wild Growth oil in the 90s and it's the truth! I buy a empty applicator bottle from the hair store and pour 1/2 Wild Growth in it and add a carrier oil like Avacado, Coconut, Aloe Vera, Jojoba etc and a few drops of Jasmine, lavender and orange oil. You can use any combination of essential oils, those are just my favorites. I braid my hair in sections and oil my scalp. I then run coconut oil from root to tip... making sure I coat the ends of my hair. If I don't have coconut oil, I use another carrier oil. Then, I place a clear plastic shower cap over my hair. Afterwards, I put on a stocking cap. The cap will keep the shower cap from slipping and dripping oil while you sleep.. Then, I put on a head scarf. This method is called the Greenhouse method, and it does work. Moisturized hair and healthy hair. As far as the sulfur, I prefer to make my own sulfur oil. I mix sulfur powder, a carrier oil (or oils) and essential oils. Best of luck to you on your hair journey.
I just want to give my experiences using this product. I've been taking it for two months and I haven't noticed any negative symptoms while using it. I actually started using 2 teaspoons as well and may go higher in the future. I'm a male as well so I don't know if that means I can go higher in doses and not feel any of the symptoms that this woman does.
You are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience. That was hilarious about the way some people act in the comments 😂 I am glad you are feeling better! ❤
The msm seems to be helping a lot with inflammation after my gym sessions. I feel a bit better. My body doesn't ache as much. Will hold on longer to see if it does good things for my hair..fingers crossed.
I took MSM, and it stopped my period for 1 1/2 years. It also raised my prolactin hormone. So I now have to take medication to reverse the effects. It made my hair grow so much, but it caused a lot of issues. MSM doesn’t react well with my body.
If you dont mind sharing, what type of medication, and is to reduce the prolactin? Did it basically give you PCOS or something? Because when doctors suspected I had pcos, they wanted to retest my prolactin levels because they were high the first time around my cycle, then they supposedly stabilized by the next test. So they told me I didn't have PCOS. So did msm do this for you? How are your periods now? I have really PAINFUL periods, but they are typically consistent and on time with no more than a 5 day variation for when I begin my menses, but my flow is HEAVY and really painful, and I pass lots of tissue, for about 3 days but I bleed 5 to 7 days. How are you doing now? *edit, I don't take MSM currently, but thought about it. But your post is giving me second thoughts 😢. I took msm for like 2 weeks about 3 years ago maybe and stopped because I had the WORST heartburn and chest pain. Thought it might be the brand, so I was looking for another brand. So I wasn't on it long enough to notice a change in my cycle, just to clarify. The information you provided about prolactin levels just made me curious about your situation, if you dont mind sharing.
@@HoneeyBee3 I feel like msm did this to me, because I was fine before. Prior to me taking it I read on a forum about how msm messed up other peoples cycles. I foolishly thought that that wouldn’t happen to me. Out of no where my period just stopped. My prolactin was super high. The doctor prescribed me cabergoline. After about 1 month of taking it, it came back.
Wow, thanks for posting your experience because another RUclipsr did a video on taking MSM powder for hair growth and she had to decrease the amount she was taking because she was having “very vivid dreams”
That's so true. My mom has always sworn by her vitamins though. Since I've left home, I've taken to like iron supplements. But, I can't say if it actually works lol
omg i KNOW like i feel like u should only take daily vitamins if it's a crucial thing (like if someone has a severe citrus allergy & can only get their vitamin c that way) or if ur like pushing 80+ years old lol. otherwise the most trustworthy thing is just literally eating real food
That is true to an extent. No matter how well I eat my iron and vitamin d3 are always low. I thank God someone had the mind enough to put these things in supplements for me to take to keep me optimally healthy.
So glad you found out that it was not for you. You know your body. Don't let anyone condemn you. So glad you are feeling better love. Have no doubt, this video will help someone.
Thank you for sharing the truth of your experience.Many people will be helped with the information you shared. I pray that God will continue to use you and keep you in good health. God Bless
I have been taking MSM now for almost a month for an autoimmune disease and it has literally been a saving grace for me it was hard for me to even get out of the bed daily and now I'm up with so much less pain and I have a love for life again after 3 years of being sick so idk what happen in your case but maybe you are allergic in some way that is possible. Not everything works for everybody and If something doesn't work for you then definitely stay away from it forsure but as for ne it's crazy how much it's helping me omgosh its a night and day turn around Thank the Lord also my hair is thickening and growing already its crazy
@@ArtDesignHobby yesss you are right the detox for everyone is different I had some headaches at first then no more but you are probably on to something with that forsure
That is so sad, I love the Organic Sulfur I feel that it has really helped me but I'm only a month in. Also you can be just feeling the negative shift in the world that is happening. I'm truly a happy person but there are days where I don't want to get out of bed & I have to make the decision to feel happy so on those days I don't check my social media or the news and I focus on my mental health, mediate, shit cry if I have too and let that out, listen to 528 hz music, stretch, take a bath while listening to an uplifting podcast. You did your research but it just wasn't for you but people that have illness in their life this stuff is a miracle :)
You made some points! It worked for you, and it had worked miracles for others.. just not me and thats fine. To your point, the world is too difficult right now to be risking my health for hair growth. We need all the mental strength we can get. I wish you all the best in these difficult times 🤞🏾🤎
I buy sulphur powder and mix it with vaseline or coconut oil. Not for growth but it helps so much with my dermatitis. It still stinks but maybe not like sulfur 8. I don't have a problem washing it out but I use sulfate shampoos. I only smell it on my head if I sweat.
Simone when i tried msm i was sneezing a lot. I was also getting headaches back to back. I was told to start out with 1/8 th of a teaspoon then use that amount for a week. Then use 1/4 th of a teaspoon then graduate to a teaspoon. For citrus i used cold water with 3 lemons squeezed in it. Like a jar of water. Try for yourself about the citrus part. You also need to drink lots of water when u use msm. A lot of people dont know this
I just ordered MSM (not to ingest) I was considering ingesting but ill defiantly think twice about that. I'm sure external is enough thank you so much for sharing your experience☺️
Hey Y'all! So I have been seeing the comments y'all were leaving about the amount that I was taking and how 1 tablespoon is too much. *I just want to clarify, I was taking at my MAX one 1 teaspoon.* When I was editing the video, I thought I misspoke and added the "tablespoon" onto the screen to correct myself when I did not need to. For that, I am sorry for the confusion! And you guys are right, I should have done more research into something I was ingesting into my body. I didn't and I quickly learned my lesson for doing that. That is why I made the video. I want you guys to learn from my mistake.
If you take them and they work for you, that's great. I am not taking away from your experience. I am simply sharing mine. Thank you to everyone that has wished me, my family, and my mental health well! I have not felt the way I described in the video since I stopped taking the MSM 🙂
Always should start off at the lowest like an 8th of a teaspoon... then build it up
That is still too much. Your msm should have came with a scooper. It's like 1/6th of a teaspoon.
@@livelovely4681 wrong
I take the capsules, and the other I use in my oils and other products to use topical.
hope you’re doing ok x
So basically u wasnt able to do non of these things long enough to see if they worked right
That's what it sounds like.
Lmbo so basically... 🤣🤣
Good I just saved myself 25 minutes lol
Two weeks isn’t long enough to see hair growth. Hair grows at 1/4 to 1/2 inch per month, depending on the person. Fast hair growth videos are just CLICK BAIT. Glad you are better
Except for the overnight method..that's real.
Yes. I have been taking MSM and I have seen growth, but stopped taking it because of the headaches. Now I am taking the crystals, but I grandes it into a powder form and seeing if I can stay consistent.
@@OLIVEBRANCHBRANSON you're taking to much
I retained 5 inches without all the extra stuff but I drink a ton of water, drink herbal tea, use homemade herbal products in my hair and I keep it twisted up... not click bate. It’s very real.
The grease is real sulfur. That's why it smells like that. Sulfur8 has been around for ions.😄
“Eons” yeah if you like grease it’s a great option 😊
Ions...🤣
I see what you did there since this all chemical bonds 😂💋 hopefully that was your intention 🙈
@@cfoster6804 LOL thanks 🤭🤫
@@MiVidaBellisima LOL thanks 🤭🤫
I use the same brand of msm it was $40 on Amazon. I use it in my DYI hair growth oils, deep conditioners and my refresher sprays. I just grind up my msm because of the large crystals. When I take the msm I only use an 1/8th tsp in my coffee with collagen peptide and vitamin c. I must say this has aided me to growing my hair to waist length. I'm hoping to grow my hair longer because now my goal is to reach hip length.
That's a really good idea, grinding them up I mean and making it into a topical thing! I'm happy that they worked well for you, and that you are seeing results 💛
Oh my gosh you were doing so well. I have not tried it orally yet but in my oils. Since it also helps the immune system according to my jar doctor's best and skin and joint discomfort and probably some other things I may need to try some orally because the oil has lasted forever that I mixed up and the powder will expire in 2022 so even though it was only $15 I don't want to waste it and you use so little in the oils. Congratulations on your accomplishments. You're sort of like me, I'm at waist length as well but now I'm curious as to just how long my hair can get!
So 1/8 tsp msm in coffee with the collagen and vitamin c all at once?
@@charleneg1372 MSM works best when taken with vitamin C so you don't have to necessarily throw the collagen in the mix at the same time. You can take it another time during the day or you can put all of that in a smoothie or as I did I sprinkled it on top of a sweet potato and then covered that with marshmallows cinnamon and raisin it kind of melt in but I do not take the MSN orally. If I put MSM on my scalp then I take vitamin C tab orally. So don't limit yourself to just coffee, sprinkle it wherever on whatever you like even a salad.

hi! i was reading up on how some people don’t process sulphur very well and a build up can cause the depression symptoms you speak of. it would be similar to an adverse effect from an antidepressant as sulphur levels influence your serotonin and dopamine levels in a similar fashion. it wouldn’t be a far stretch to say that the sulphur was responsible for that sudden intense depression
I didn't know this!!! Wow, this makes me feel so validated in the things I was feeling 😭💛
@@SimoneNicole she did not validate you. She said it’s a far stretch that it would happen so quickly like you described.
@@rntbica she definitely said that it WOULDN’T be a far stretch....but ok. This comment for sure validated what she said.
@@Cskyethecat I would like a source please. I would like to read what she read as well for my information.
Hi. Can you kindly provide a source? I would also like to read what you read for my own knowledge. Thanks!
Hi. Not sure if you saw the MSM video by youtuber Curly Proverbz, but she said to only use 1/8 teaspoon MSM along with vitamin C. It sounds like you started with more than 1/8th. I hope your days are brighter, Sis. ❤🖤💚
I have been using MSM since may and I love it !!! I use very little and I have not increased the amount at all .I’m having no problem I just drink lots of water all the time.
Right. These: I didn't follow the instructions and had a bad experience videos are difficult to watch...
Aw sweetheart, I'm so sorry you went though hell and back, but MSM is known to causes mood swings, insomnia, weight gain. ect ect ect. I could go on and on. I'm a register nurse, and we are trained to look at factors that could have caused you to spiral into your depression. First and foremost, as a nurse, your mental health far exceeds any kind of hair growth, or any kind of beauty regime. I'm very happy that you are feeling better that is far more important. Now, I suffer from severe depression, and it is a constant struggle most days. I did my research on MSM, and I was hesitant because of it causing mood swings. I'm a big guy I'm 6'4 220. I started off with 1/8 teaspoon. I would added it to my hibiscus hot tea, and a some collagen powder. *Knock on wood* I have been fortunate not to have any side effect thus far (I'm a little more gas, than usual). When I go to work I dissolve 1/8 teaspoon of MSM in hot water, and stir it into my cold tea as I drive to work. However, from all the research I did it stresses to drink at least 2 liters of water. Most people are like: bitch you crazy! I'm a floor nurse, so I'm constantly running around and I do end up drink to full 2 liters of water. I'm not sure if you have tried Collagen Peptides Powder | Hydrolyzed Type 1&3 Collagen | Non-GMO Verified, Certified Paleo Friendly and Gluten Free - Unflavored (32oz Jar) . I put two scoops into my hot tea. I love this brand because it completely dissolves, and if I have something gritty at the end of my tea, it makes me want to barf. Anything taken internally it takes time to show any results. I've noticed with that brand of collagen my hair and nails are growing like mad, but it took almost 3 months of constant use to see any benefits. If you are up to it, perhaps you should try the MSM again, with extreme caution. 1/8 for a month, and dissolve it in hot water, and add it to your favorite cold beverage, or add it to your hot tea. DRINK a least 2 liters of water! If anyone leaves a mean comment because you spoke your truth, than they can have the middle finger! The unique thing about our body's is that we are all different, some of us take ungodly amounts of certain things that would kill the next person. If you are not comfortable taking MSM again, then don't. Thank you for speaking your truth. Love and support of a nurse
Great post!!!
SO GLAD I found your comment ! I’ve gained just over 10 pounds and that NEVER happens. Adding MSM has been my only consistent addition and I wondering if it’s that
Trust me its the msm....i had to stop it 2 weeks ago. I gained 15 pounds in 2 month...i wouldn't have cared much cos i thought i will just work out more. But my periods completely stopped till i stopped it as well...got my period back 10 days after stopping it.
@@iceyice9069 oh wow ! Thanks
❤️
Sounds like it was pulling the toxins from your system, a buildup of toxins....maybe too fast for your system, hence the depression. Tiny amount would of been better, maybe once a week. Toxins, when alot are pulled together, especially too fast, can affect the mind. Has to be done gently. Some may not feel affected, obviously. Depends on your system.
I took 1-2 teaspoons of msm right away. Now I know the reason why I felt depressed. I no longer feel depressed though. Thanks for the information 😊
@@cgal505 taking 1 teaspoon the first time is tooo much you should start with 1/8 once in the morning, then after a week or two 1/8 morning and night and building it up like this. 2 teaspoons is over the recommended daily amount - so much msm gives headaches, nausea, diarrhoea etc.
@@nyimajuwara597
Yep this is so true, from experience
🎯
I couldn’t listen much longer after you said you don’t like oils 😂 But everyone’s different. MSM is definitely the bomb and a staple💚
Agreed. It has helped me immensely. Her results do not sound related to MSM.
I am an oily person! 😁 Love oils! To each their own!
I love how amazingly honest you are about your experience and open you are about how it could be linked to your mental health. I wish whatever you and your family are going through all the happiness and positivity ye need to make it true. Subscribing to you was definitely a positive thing I did in 2020. All the love xx
Awww Rosie!! I really appreciate that. It makes me feel good that I can be of help to you in anyway 💕
Thank you Simone Nicole for your feedback. You articulated your feelings very, very well. I wish you the best in your search and treatment.
It is true not all products work the same for everyone. Just keep in mind that MSM is a sulfur based compound. It is possible you should have not used the Sulfur 8 topical and MSM together. Use one or the other maybe that may have worked for you.
I'm soooo happy for your first sponsored video. I'm sad to hear of your experience with the sulfur 8, doo grow & MSM. I use all of them with no incidence thus far but I don't use daily. I happy you are feeling better, mental health is nothing to play with when many people suffer from depression, especially close to the holidays
There’s a ton of clinical research on MSM out there. It is thoroughly researched. I’m sorry for your experience. Glad you’re better!
thank you for the well wishes! I didn't even google it until after I started taking them. Such a mistake. Whether it work or not, I shouldn't be so cavalier about putting something in my body
@@SimoneNicole You’re welcome. Girl, I understand. I’ve done that too. I am just glad that you are better. God bless you!
What is MSM?
U shouldn’t have done sulfur 8 and started slowly with MSM. The oil u should have use is sweet almond oil olive oil Shea butter
@@krisscott7436 it is methylsulfonylmethane which is basically sulfur. I can't believe that is one word my phone heard and spelled correctly.
Msm is like a detoxifyer also u have to start very small to see how it adjust to your body we all react differently to stuff also you have to drink plenty of water hope all is well with you stay bless
That happened to me when taking Biotin. I got really bad ance within a week of taking it and I never had ance in my whole life. I wasn't drinking water at that time. So alot of ppl was saying I wasn't drinking enough water.
Oh yes ! I agree
I started with 1-2 teaspoons right away. Good to know this though.
I dont find the sulphur smell that bad
Same. And the smell never stays in my hair. Goes away after a night
You've got such beautiful skin. Not all MSMs are made equal. The best g=form of MSM is Opti-MSM. A FORM that is most bioavailable for absorption in the body. Some MSMs have fillers, preservatives (to prevent clumping of the powder) or are artificially made. The most naturally occuring form of MSM are the coarse flakes (called flakes but are like crystals) as oppose to the fine powder. Dr Best's Opti-MSM is apparently one of the good ones. Thanks for the video, now I know not to take it mixed with vit C. However, vit C is necessary for MSM absorption but to be taken separately.
Not all oils are sealants some are moisturizer/ carrier oils. Moisturizing/penetrating oils: coconut oil, sunflower oil, and palm kernel oil
Partially penetrating and sealing oils: avocado oil, olive oil, and argan oil
Sealing oils: jojoba oil and rice bran oil
To get the best out of partially penetrating oils use heat i.e use in a hot oil treatment
I hear you ,I took MSM for only 3 days and my depression got really bad and my migraine got worse ,I have been feeling my worse for two days thankfully I found your video and an other youtuber talking about real side effects of MSM it is definitely not for me either ,Thank you for sharing and you are absolutely gorgeous!!!
It’s the funeral music that’s spooking me out 👀
Me: turn all my lights on
I think she all ready had depression before MSM.
Oil IS a sealant, which is why its not the best thing to use on DRY hair. However, hair that is moisturized does well with oil, and as always. To each his/ her own. Since every ones hair acts and reacts differently to different things.
My mom use tar and sulfur grease.. my siblings and I have very long hair and it's thick. Prell is the shampoo, which I don't thick is sold anymore. Royal crown is a grease for hair...in a green round container. We swallow castor oil and put on hair. No perms only Natura. We use stream water, ( natural running underground water) not tap water.
I never known oil to dry a person hair🙄
I love to mix Sulfur 8 with Bronner Bros pine tar grease as well, it smell good!
The oil didn't dry it. Smh...
I grew and retained 5 inches of hair since February taking MSM but I followed the instructions that came with it
Omg 😱 me too! It’s so sad she wasn’t following directions at all
Hey y'all, I just pinned a comment addressing the amount I was taking. I was taking the amount on the directions, I just misspoke in the video. Again, so sorry for the confusion!
That is about the average rate of growth about a half inch a month so I have to wonder how well the MSM works. Congratulations though in the event that you have slower hair growth like maybe 1/4 inch per month.
@@sable7114 I have never been able to retain that much hair in my life so it was definitely the MSM. My hair may have grown but it has always broken at the ends
@@nies.2705 very good then , I'm happy for you. It is apparent that it is working for you.
I started taking it and the stomach pain was insane I thought I was dying
Plus I felt sad all the time for no real reason
Then the diarrhea!
Night sweats and nightmares, I was lucid in my sleep.
Read about taking smaller doses and drinking lots of water
Did that, nothing changed
So I just stopped yesterday and still hoping for the stomach ache to go.
Be careful
Same here , stomachache and headache was real ! Have you taken vitamin c with it ans drink a lot of water ? I seen it on RUclips after the fact I took it and was wondering if that was the reason I was feeling like crap !
I think it’s the detox period we are experiencing. I started using it again for the past two days and my head hurts and I’m getting hot flashes. But I know I need to hydrate more. This is the same ingredient in Hairfinity which worked wonders for me. MSM and vitamin C is just a cheaper way out without the biotin (breaks me out bad). The best oils for me is black castor oil, and olive oil.
That "MSMs" was driving me crazy because I kept wanting M&Ms after you said it. LOL. So sorry that happened to you. I actually heard it can work as an ANTI depressant so it was shocking to hear your account. It works so well for me. Gives me gas on occasion but I'm a gassy girl so I can deal with it. Other than that I love it. Works well for sore joints too (which it's actually intended for). With that being said EVERYONE's body works differently and processes things different. It's important that you posted this video because there could be someone who got this type of depression from taking MSM and have no idea where it came from and is STILL taking it because there is nothing out there that states that as a side affect. Stumbling across your video will help them realize whats going on so they can stop taking it before something crazy happens. Thanks for the video.
Same lol no idea why she felt the need to put the s at the end of the compound abbreviation “MSM”
Thanks
Thought I was the only one getting annoyed by this...
Msm is well researched so its ok if it did not work for you, everyone system may not be able to handle it.
Sulfur 8 is good. My mom used to use it on my hair growing up. The smell doesn't bother me. Everything that has a medicated smell isn't a problem as long as it works. We know that we have smelled other things that are worse
Who cares what people thinks? I sure don't.
Ma’am the directions on the bag state that you take a quarter of a TEAspoon & not a TABLEspoon, this is no doubt where you went wrong.
Hey! I just pinned a comment addressing that, sorry for the confusion
Hey darling no need to apologize, it was a simple typo. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Imperfection Perfected1980 i didn't ask, & you're supposed to introduce your body to it in small doses when you fist start taking it. enjoy your MSM & your day. ❤️
@Imperfection Perfected1980 How does MSM make you feel AMAZING ❓❓
Yeah. Our bodies are not use to it! Also you should be very very hydrated while taking msm!! If you’re going to the bathroom after you take msm it is extremely important to replenish all the water that is being lost. (Maybe half of a gallon a day ). I’m not saying that this would fix the depression that you were but could prevent your body from being harmed.
Girl, you are so gorgeous 😍 I need to get myself together 😭
aww thank you mama! 💕
I'm happy you told the truth about your experience. It tells me to be aware of a possibility. Thanks. Abba bless you.

thank you so much 💕
I understand hun.I have been going through it myself recently. Nothing to do with MSM but I'm praying that it helps my growth . I hope that everything is going well for you hun.
I also do hair challenges on my channel, however I believe the sulphur 8 or the virgin hair fertilizer may have damaged my scalp; made it sensitive. I tried doo gro and sulphur 8, i"ve also tried virgin hair fertilizer, wild growth oil and a few others. The Virgin hair fertilizer gave the best results length wise and in a short space of time (All documented on my channel). However I think castor oil and dax grease may be better for my hair's overall health. Thanks for the video.
thank you for watching and for sharing your experience as well! From what I'm gathering in these comments, MSM is a hit and miss. It just depends on the person it seems!
You cant ( shouldnt) be taking alltjose different thins at the same time
Virigin hair fertilizer left me with the largest bald spot
Tablespoons??? Or teaspoons?? If tablespoons it seems like you were taking too much which is why it was so bad..also msm is well researched if you looked it up you would see it is for more than just hair growth in fact its original use isnt really for anything cosmetic related... but its good that u stopped before it got any worse🤗
Exactly!..A whole tablespoon tho 🤦🏾♀️.
Thank you so much for being the first person to bring this discrepancy up! You made me go back and look at the tool I used to take it and it was definitely a teaspoon 🤦🏾♀️. I misspoke and what was very confusing! But yes, I'm happy I stopped taking them because I have been back to normal ever since!
@@SimoneNicole oh im glad lol maybe try using it topically however it can be drying...
A teaspoon is too much too. You literally have to start with 1/8 of a teaspoon and work your way up
@Imperfection Perfected1980 Yeah a master herbalist I have followed for years has always recommended TABLESPOONS of MSM.
Also your so pretty gorgeous complexion
Girl I feel you😔 We have to keep in mind that not everything will work well for everybody as we're not all the same. One thing may work for me but be so bad for you. Thanks for sharing your experience girl💜💜💜
Thank you for watching mama 💜
I was using the same brand. I attempted taking it every morning with my tea but it really made my skin break out horribly . I had to stop taking it by mouth however I have added it to a water spray bottle and spray it on my scalp every few days and man has my hair started to take off growth wise ! I only spray the msm on my scalp though because spraying it on my actual hair strands tends to make it feel weird. As far as vitamins go I started taking a super vitamin powder (that has all my veggies ,fruits, and probiotics for the day) and this is has also contributed to growth without messing up my skin. We focus on hair vitamins but sometimes it is other nutrients that we are missing that is hindering or slowing our hair growth.
Well be careful. My use was topical. But I do have an allergy to SULFA medications and products, so I'm stuck with it. NEVER again! I will go bald first! Lol
Ain't that the truth! I can't get to my fast foods and junkie food so I'm having to eat the healthy stuff and all sorts of things are growing! In other words , I look better on all levels. I guess you truly are what you eat. Hope it's not just that the pollution was so bad that was making things look bad but now that I'm inside I'm being protected from all of that stuff.
According to nowianappy, when taking MSM one should increase on their water intake so as to avoid breakouts.
Brendah Immie I tried so hard 😭😭😭. Peeing every five minutes . I think you need to be drinking gallons in order to not break out . I do admit that my diet at the time wasn’t the cleanest either so that probably made it worse .
@@stephaniecain5510 yes maam so do i
Hi Simone. This is my first time visiting your channel. I want to thank you for your honesty and courage in telling about your experience. Having gone through a major depression myself, I thoroughly agree with your decision not to risk taking it again. Very scary! I'm probably much older than most of your viewers {66) I've subscribed to various hair care channels and tried almost everything to grow my hair. My hair has been thinning for about 10 years and nothing seems to work. In the last year or 2 it has also been breaking.
Thank you for sharing ur experience....I've also tried MSM and it was way too strong for my body too....I didn't experience depression, but it acted more like a detox for me so, I only ingest it once or twice a week. And I have seen immediate hair growth since using it, especially in my eyebrows 🙂
Thank you for this honest feedback and your transparency, there’s lots of these vids around and it can be scary to know what works and doesn’t. Especially when nobody knows they can be this strong on your mental state. Detox is a big deal, start with small doses with anything you’re new to. Sorry to hear you went thru this, but I’m glad the cloud is cleared a bit for you, sis🙏🏾💃🏽
The headaches you can get from taking to much msm at first... I only took 1/4 tsp and I needed to start at 1/8th and go slower than what people recommend
Also, if you really want more sulphur in your diet, Onions, garlic, anything in the allicin family. You don't need any supplements if you don't want to take any.
Msm CAN build up in you to unhealthy levels. It's why your supposed to take breaks from it. I do 3-4 weeks on, 1 off.
If you are eating alot of vegtables, you very Likley won't need much if any of added msm.
I've read online it's given people insomnia, headaches, stomach ache, thinner blood, increased acne ect
You are not wrong in thinking this could be the reason for your mental state. Your 💯 justified. The fact your symptoms went after 3 days says alot. I'm glad your better.
This is the first time Ive heard of taking breaks from msm. Interesting, because you kind of confirmed my suspicions. I was wondering if I should take it for about 3 weeks, then stop for a week or 2, then get back on it, and use it that way. I've heard a lot of people talk about it messing up their period, so I was wondering if I should basically stop it by the time I ovulate, which would be 2.5 weeks on 2.5 weeks off. Or stop it like a week before my period is expected, which would be 3 weeks on and 1 week off.
So Tresses Of Alexis just asked a question on her community page. What is something that isn’t talked about in the natural hair community. I truly believe we need to discuss why more DIYs can be more damaging to hair and health than some of the things we buy in the store. I never really understood the cocktail of Doo grow with Slufur 8 and or Wild Growth oil. You are correct in saying that a lot of popular oil blends seal in the dryness, and end up causing more dryness and breakage. I suffered for a long time not understanding why my hair wasn’t at it’s best. The simple answer is it was dry as the desert. The fact of the matter is that water is moisture.
I would say water is hydrating and oils or other sealants are moisturizing(they decrease the rate of hydration loss) . But I think the hair community needs to think about rehydration, in your case I'm guessing you put moisturizer on dry hair which isn't good. Try it in wet/ damp hair, then maybe rehydrate in a few days.
@@Vibezincomming I'd agree. Additionally, alot of the "oils" or "oil"mixtures in the stores aren't actual plant oils, but an earth(?) oil. Things like mineral oil, or petrolatum(vaseline) perform completely differently than an oil derived from plants like olive, coconut, almond, etc.
Girllll don't get me started on OILS!! But speaking against them is almost taboo in the community! But I don't understand why. If they work for you that's okay. But oils are not the end all for some people. (Me 🙋🏾♀️, I'm some people 😂)
Watching your video while talking about sulfur 8 made me laugh... Growing up in the 80s, so many of us didn't have a choice about that hair product because our mom's didn't make it an option.,😂😂😂
May God keep you and your family during this storm.
Praying for your healing. Sound like depression. I have been through that exactly what you're describing. It could be due to hormone changes. Talk to your doctor, and you should be fine.
I'm so proud of you for taking the time to work on yourself & I'm so happy that you're doing better!!!
This is the first video I have seen of yours. I really felt your pain and in no way doubt your experience. I also appreciated your honesty on the product reviews. Always speak your truth ❤ I hope you continue to improve
If it did not work hey it is what it is we are all different and react different. Lovely skin you have.
Girl...i truly agree with you 100%..about this ladies don't experience this it's so bad do bad it doesn't matter what kind of MSM you take it does affect your health..headache, high blood, pain,depression, breathing....heart palpitations..horrible...dizziness..vomit..nausea...you name them MSM ...thank you so much my dear for bringing this up it's really informative..and God Bless...
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m glad you are feeling better.👍
I tried MSM. I grew more hair on my chin and arms. The hair on my head didn't grow more... So, I would not recommend either.
Gives me a mustache and a beard but it helps tremendously with osteoarthritis which was my initial purpose for purchasing.
Did you put it in water or aloe and put it directly in you hair. It works
@@sylviaallen-ouzts9953 did you already have hormonal issues before taking MSM? is it really going to make hair grow around the mouth, if hair was not there before?
😂 😂 😂 on yo chin
You scaring me, im not trying this!!
You can’t cowash after using oils. You have to clarify with shampoo.
True or it's buildup city.
I’m so glad I found this video. I experienced depression and dizzy spells and couldn’t put a finger on what was causing it. The first time I tried MSM was while we were on lockdown and I had more time to make sure I was drinking the appropriate amount of water etc. Now that we’re “back to life” and the stress that comes along with it..MSM no longer fits my lifestyle. And when I stopped taking it this time around almost immediately my nails all broke and my hair started shedding again :(
I also started taking MSM after following a youtuber's advice. MY HAIR STARTED SHEDDING LIKE CRAZY. I COULD NOT retain ANY length. I just woke up one day and was like huh? My hair used to swing on my shoulders and now it barely reaches my neck. It took me 1.5 years to get my hair back to where it used to be. Now I'm soo cautious. I'll follow a diy if the ingredients are natural or plant based or oil based. Never chemicals!
Girl when I say you are one of MANY to say this in this comment section!! I really feel like this stuff can be a HIT for some people, and a majorrrr miss for others!
i wish i knew this before, 1 month earlier i started taking MSM vitamin C, and my Hair shedding Like Crazy, but u guys in the comment section finally helped me, definitely stopping it Thanks
I'm so sorry you had to experience that depressive state. No matter how long it lasts it's horrible and strips people of their true personality, and life if for too long. Im so glad you knew the cause and could return to life
I appreciate your genuine honesty it is refreshing!
No girl, I’m with you on this. It made me extremely thirsty, dizzy, migraine and fatigued. No results on the hair
Sounds as though you weren't drinking enough water! X
My mom used to put that funky sulphur 8 on my hair as a child. I HAAATTED it. 😣
In the 70’s, Sulfur 8 used to be so strong. When my mom used to use the hot comb to straighten my hair with Sulfur 8, that smell used to stink! But it would grow my hair, I am using it again on my hair. Old School hair products works so well.
I have depression and severe adhd. This video was a great warning and I just subscribed to you for this video.
Thank you. I've watched the YT channels promoting these products and was considered trying them, but suffering from serve anxiety, so are having 2nd thoughts. I must say my hair oils, Aloe Vera and just keeping my hands out if my head every 5 mins 😆 has helped with my hair growth
This is my first visit to your channel. Like the others who commented on your incredibly honest video, I am so sorry for your reactions to the two products. Interestingly enough, I just viewed another channel that recommended using MSM for rapid hair growth, either taking it orally or creating a haircare product. I was considering using the powder form. However, I think I will keep shopping around for a diy formula that I can try and embrace. God bless you, Lovely Lady, for sharing your experience. 🙏🏾
I use Sulfur 8 the light formula but I mix it with blue magic castor oil and a herb oil mix I make. I add fragrance oil to kill the smell and it works. The light formula doesn't smell as bad and it works.
It grew my hair without any problems.
Thank you for your video. I was going to try this. This is the first honest review I have heard thank you. Keep your head up high. Beautiful
Thank you for your honesty on how MSM affected you. I've struggled with mental health issues for YEARS and I have to be careful. The good thing about this is I know it where so many don't recognize what's going on. I've thought about taking this, actually have it in my home and will be very careful taking it. Don't worry about what people say, no matter what you do, somebody has something to say. If they don't want your honest assessment, they shouldn't be on your site. Bless you and have a good day.
I had the same depressive symptoms in addition to having flu like symptoms
After taking MSM for a few months my nails grew more in those months than they did in the year prior !!!!!
My hair was already long (shoulder length, im male) , but it did seem like it doubled in growth rate, but i did not measure.
Nails are easier to notice
Amen, I'm happy to hear you stopped taking the msm. As for me? I broke out in really bad hives and swelling. Everything doesn't work for everyone. You are a beautiful young woman with a purpose I pray your circumstances improve and I thank you for your honesty. I was very intrigued by your video. Thanks sis, and no matter what you go through give it to God, he will help you. I wish you a prosperous blessed life.💜
AMEN!! she could just be allergic to sulfur i found out i was allergic to sulfur 3yrs ago so anything that requires sulfer i will breakout also sulfer in medicine products will effect you also so we just always have to do our own research an stop feeding into all the things others do on the internet...
Sulfonamides (quite a common ingredient in antibiotics)medication is also called sulfa drugs. Nothing to do at all with organic sulfur whatsoever...msm cannot build up in your body (its water soluble) and actually is a liitle known natural way to help allergy sufferers. The reactions she had were specific to her introducing it into her body too fast. Many stick with 1/8 for a couple weeks before titrating up. She said she tried it for 2 weeks and was at 1 full tspoon before stopping people are inclined to blame sulfur when they get side effects but the reality is its the toxins pushing out too fast...and if she wasnt drinking 9 or 10 glasses of water at the time those toxins had nowhere to go unfortunately. Sulfur is literally classified as a food because we need it and we cant produce it on our own. The toxins are not sulfur they were already there and are proof how useful sulfur actually is in trying to get rid of them. Just people gotta take it slow cause we are all FULL of toxins. Hope that helps clear up the confusion

Great review. Not sure why so many comments about you didn’t use it long enough. People are missing the point. I agree with you. I tried MSM too and it gave me horrible headaches! Listen to your body ❤️
Congratulations on your sponsor
Seems like you were using to many strong products at one time.
I'm also glad you are better.
You did great with this info. We’re all different & MSM is not meant for me to ingest. I had a similar experience & will be posting a video soon about it cuz sis 😭Thanks for sharing 💕💕💕
I'm so sorry you went through that. I just started taking it myself. I'm a heavy person so I have to take 2 teaspoons according to the directions and the taste is honestly unbearable.
You could be allergic to it however. I can take liquid biotin but my sis CANNOT she gets headaches and terrible breakouts. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's for you.
I use the MSM from sprouts food market. Not amazon. The brand I used is the MRM nutrition. Make sure you drink a lot of water. Great video.
I am sorry to hear about your experience. I know Sulphur 8 and Wild Growth oil smells awful, but hear me out.😂 I started using Wild Growth oil in the 90s and it's the truth! I buy a empty applicator bottle from the hair store and pour 1/2 Wild Growth in it and add a carrier oil like Avacado, Coconut, Aloe Vera, Jojoba etc and a few drops of Jasmine, lavender and orange oil. You can use any combination of essential oils, those are just my favorites. I braid my hair in sections and oil my scalp. I then run coconut oil from root to tip... making sure I coat the ends of my hair. If I don't have coconut oil, I use another carrier oil. Then, I place a clear plastic shower cap over my hair. Afterwards, I put on a stocking cap. The cap will keep the shower cap from slipping and dripping oil while you sleep.. Then, I put on a head scarf. This method is called the Greenhouse method, and it does work. Moisturized hair and healthy hair. As far as the sulfur, I prefer to make my own sulfur oil. I mix sulfur powder, a carrier oil (or oils) and essential oils. Best of luck to you on your hair journey.
I love Sulfur 8 , it always worked well for my hair.
I just want to give my experiences using this product. I've been taking it for two months and I haven't noticed any negative symptoms while using it. I actually started using 2 teaspoons as well and may go higher in the future. I'm a male as well so I don't know if that means I can go higher in doses and not feel any of the symptoms that this woman does.
You are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience. That was hilarious about the way some people act in the comments 😂
I am glad you are feeling better! ❤
The msm seems to be helping a lot with inflammation after my gym sessions. I feel a bit better. My body doesn't ache as much. Will hold on longer to see if it does good things for my hair..fingers crossed.
Mine too especially my knees
You can use it as a spray water and msm and just spray on hair!
I took MSM, and it stopped my period for 1 1/2 years. It also raised my prolactin hormone. So I now have to take medication to reverse the effects.
It made my hair grow so much, but it caused a lot of issues. MSM doesn’t react well with my body.
If you dont mind sharing, what type of medication, and is to reduce the prolactin? Did it basically give you PCOS or something? Because when doctors suspected I had pcos, they wanted to retest my prolactin levels because they were high the first time around my cycle, then they supposedly stabilized by the next test. So they told me I didn't have PCOS. So did msm do this for you? How are your periods now? I have really PAINFUL periods, but they are typically consistent and on time with no more than a 5 day variation for when I begin my menses, but my flow is HEAVY and really painful, and I pass lots of tissue, for about 3 days but I bleed 5 to 7 days.
How are you doing now?
*edit, I don't take MSM currently, but thought about it. But your post is giving me second thoughts 😢. I took msm for like 2 weeks about 3 years ago maybe and stopped because I had the WORST heartburn and chest pain. Thought it might be the brand, so I was looking for another brand. So I wasn't on it long enough to notice a change in my cycle, just to clarify. The information you provided about prolactin levels just made me curious about your situation, if you dont mind sharing.
@@HoneeyBee3 I feel like msm did this to me, because I was fine before. Prior to me taking it I read on a forum about how msm messed up other peoples cycles. I foolishly thought that that wouldn’t happen to me. Out of no where my period just stopped. My prolactin was super high. The doctor prescribed me cabergoline. After about 1 month of taking it, it came back.
I spritz my hair before putting oil.
Congratulations on your sponsor! First time watching and subscribed 💗
Wow, thanks for posting your experience because another RUclipsr did a video on taking MSM powder for hair growth and she had to decrease the amount she was taking because she was having “very vivid dreams”
Wow! Glad you’re in a better place
The grease is an ol' school oldie but goodie.

Chileee I don’t trust vitamins enough to eat them daily. I’m a medical student and people should just eat proper meals- nothing can replace that.
That's so true. My mom has always sworn by her vitamins though. Since I've left home, I've taken to like iron supplements. But, I can't say if it actually works lol
omg i KNOW like i feel like u should only take daily vitamins if it's a crucial thing (like if someone has a severe citrus allergy & can only get their vitamin c that way) or if ur like pushing 80+ years old lol. otherwise the most trustworthy thing is just literally eating real food
THANK YOU! Nothing can replace a good diet
That is true to an extent. No matter how well I eat my iron and vitamin d3 are always low. I thank God someone had the mind enough to put these things in supplements for me to take to keep me optimally healthy.
Points have been made in this comment section. Thank everyone for their thoughts!
3:14 off topic but your skin is beautiful
So glad you found out that it was not for you. You know your body. Don't let anyone condemn you. So glad you are feeling better love. Have no doubt, this video will help someone.
Thank you for sharing the truth of your experience.Many people will be helped with the information you shared. I pray that God will continue to use you and keep you in good health. God Bless
May our Lord continue to bless you on your journey 🙏😇❤️. You're beautiful and love your skin beautiful chocolate drop.
I have been taking MSM now for almost a month for an autoimmune disease and it has literally been a saving grace for me it was hard for me to even get out of the bed daily and now I'm up with so much less pain and I have a love for life again after 3 years of being sick so idk what happen in your case but maybe you are allergic in some way that is possible. Not everything works for everybody and If something doesn't work for you then definitely stay away from it forsure but as for ne it's crazy how much it's helping me omgosh its a night and day turn around Thank the Lord also my hair is thickening and growing already its crazy
It could be also reaction to detoxification.... I heard it can last for weeks...
@@ArtDesignHobby yesss you are right the detox for everyone is different I had some headaches at first then no more but you are probably on to something with that forsure
That is so sad, I love the Organic Sulfur I feel that it has really helped me but I'm only a month in. Also you can be just feeling the negative shift in the world that is happening. I'm truly a happy person but there are days where I don't want to get out of bed & I have to make the decision to feel happy so on those days I don't check my social media or the news and I focus on my mental health, mediate, shit cry if I have too and let that out, listen to 528 hz music, stretch, take a bath while listening to an uplifting podcast. You did your research but it just wasn't for you but people that have illness in their life this stuff is a miracle :)
You made some points! It worked for you, and it had worked miracles for others.. just not me and thats fine. To your point, the world is too difficult right now to be risking my health for hair growth. We need all the mental strength we can get.
I wish you all the best in these difficult times 🤞🏾🤎
I buy sulphur powder and mix it with vaseline or coconut oil. Not for growth but it helps so much with my dermatitis. It still stinks but maybe not like sulfur 8. I don't have a problem washing it out but I use sulfate shampoos. I only smell it on my head if I sweat.
Girl only you who knows your body, so just do you my God give you the strength for what ever you are going through, blessings.
I pray God's blessing for you, please be safe
The Lord is your strength, be safe
Girlfriend know that the have you covered, stay strong, and be safe
Simone when i tried msm i was sneezing a lot. I was also getting headaches back to back. I was told to start out with 1/8 th of a teaspoon then use that amount for a week. Then use 1/4 th of a teaspoon then graduate to a teaspoon. For citrus i used cold water with 3 lemons squeezed in it. Like a jar of water. Try for yourself about the citrus part. You also need to drink lots of water when u use msm. A lot of people dont know this
I just ordered MSM (not to ingest) I was considering ingesting but ill defiantly think twice about that. I'm sure external is enough thank you so much for sharing your experience☺️
Love how flawless your skin is that side shot though... Thanks for the video
