MSM for Hair Growth: The Ultimate Guide to Stronger, Healthier Hair

My Journey with MSM began over a decade ago! After years of frustration with my lack of progress with my hair growth, I discovered that consistent use of MSM and Ayurvedic oils and Herbs was the key to unlocking my hair's length and thickness potential. In today's post we will focus on MSM. 

If you’re on a journey to longer, stronger, and healthier hair, chances are you’ve heard about MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane). But what exactly is MSM, and how can it transform your hair care routine? Let’s dive into the science, benefits, and best ways to incorporate MSM into your regimen using Curly Proverbz MSM products!

What is MSM?

MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane, is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in plants, animals, and even the human body. It plays a vital role in producing keratin and collagen, the building blocks of strong hair, skin, and nails. Sulfur, often called the "beauty mineral," helps strengthen hair strands, promote growth, and improve overall hair health.

Is effectiveness of MSM supported by Studies?

Yes! Several studies have explored the effects of MSM on hair growth. Research suggests that MSM can:

✔ Extend the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, allowing hair to grow longer before shedding.

✔ Increase hair thickness by minimising shedding and invigorating follicles. 

✔ Improve scalp health by reducing inflammation and irritation.

✔ Boost collagen and keratin production, essential for hair strength and elasticity.

A 2009 study published in the Natural Medicine Journal found that oral MSM supplementation improved hair and nail growth in participants. This makes MSM a promising supplement for anyone dealing with thinning hair, excessive shedding, or slow growth.

How to Incorporate MSM Into Your Hair Routine

At Curly Proverbz, we’ve made it easy to add MSM to your regimen with two powerful products:

1. Curly Proverbz Mane Max MSM (For Internal Use)

Taking MSM **orally** helps your body absorb the sulfur needed to support hair growth from within.

How to Take It: Start with a low dose about 1/4 teaspoon daily) and gradually increase over time to a full scoop. MSM has a slightly bitter taste, so you can mix it with water, juice, or a smoothie for easier consumption.

✔ Pro Tip: Pair it with Vitamin C (like fresh orange juice) to boost absorption!

2. Curly Proverbz MSM & Clove Fenugreek Elixir Oil (For Topical Use)

Applying MSM directly to the scalp helps stimulate hair follicles and strengthen strands at the root.

How to Use: Massage a few drops of this elixir into your scalp 3-4 times a week to promote circulation and enhance growth.

✔ Pro Tip: Use this as a pre-poo or overnight scalp treatment for best results!

Precautions When Using MSM

While MSM is generally safe, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Start slow: Some people experience detox symptoms (mild headaches or breakouts) when first taking MSM. Begin with a small dose and gradually increase.

2. Stay hydrated: MSM can dehydrate the body, so drink plenty of water to flush out toxins.

3. Consult your doctor: If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions, speak with a healthcare provider before starting MSM.

Tips & Tricks for Maximising MSM Benefits

Be consistent: MSM works best when used regularly.

Pair it with a healthy diet: Eating sulfur-rich foods like garlic, onions, and eggs can enhance its effects.

Massage your scalp: Combining MSM oil with scalp massages boosts circulation and hair growth.

Track your progress: Take pictures or measurements to monitor improvements over time.
