Ever notice how ads push “healthy hair” products loaded with toxic chemicals?
Like as if poisons that you’d never eat could magically make your skin or hair healthy. 😏
We absorb what we put on our bodies so listen up! It doesn’t get easier than this natural DIY recipe (2 ingredients), but the benefits are real and build over time. I spray it on towel-dried hair, working it into the scalp, and love how it adds texture without weighing down my hair. It doesn’t work as a detangler (I detangle in the shower with Kitsch conditioner).
Why It’s Good for Hair
- Sulfur boost: MSM is organic sulfur, a key building block for keratin (hair’s main protein). It strengthens strands, reduces breakage, and can make hair feel thicker/softer over time.
- Scalp health: Sulfur from MSM is crucial for skin cell turnover and sebum balance—reduces excess oil that feeds dandruff-causing fungus (Malassezia). It’s anti-inflammatory (lowers cytokines that cause redness/itch) and antimicrobial (directly inhibits fungi/bacteria). Better scalp circulation and nutrient delivery to follicles support stronger roots → less shedding and potential faster growth. Overall, it calms irritation and itchiness while nourishing from within the scalp tissue.
- Shine & texture: Leaves hair smoother and shinier without weighing it down. MSM delivers sulfur directly to keratin (hair’s main protein), strengthening and smoothing the cuticle (outer layer). A smooth, aligned cuticle reflects light better → natural shine. Unlike heavy oils or silicones that coat hair (adding weight, buildup, and dullness over time), MSM integrates into the structure without residue—hair feels lighter, moves freely, and stays clean longer.
- Safe & simple: Non-irritating for most (even sensitive scalps), no buildup. Internal MSM supports hair growth and strength from within (sulfur for keratin production), but topical application delivers it right where it’s needed for even better results—many notice improved texture, reduced frizz, and healthier scalp in weeks.
How to Use It
- Recipe: 1–2 tsp MSM powder dissolved in 4–8 oz distilled water or colloidal silver (CS) (warm water helps it dissolve faster—shake well).
- Application: Spritz or pour on clean, damp hair (roots to ends). No rinse—let air dry. Use daily or 3–5x/week.
- Optional upgrades: (I haven’t tried) Add a drop of lavender EO for scent/scalp soothing, or a pinch of sea salt for light hold.
People often see noticeable softness and strength in 2–4 weeks. It’s cheap, clean, and effective—perfect for anyone wanting natural hair support without chemicals.
Give it a try and let me know how your hair feels!

I have MSM drops – can I use those rather than the powder? If so, what would be the measurement to add to CS?
I wouldn’t, that would cost a lot more too. I think everyone should be taking MSM daily anyway and should have the powder/crystals.
I just bought the Happy Body msm supplement. I look forward to trying this out. Thank you.
It’s my favorite brand. They make really good eye drops too and the creams they sell are phenomenal, really helped me out after knee surgery and now for pain that creeps up. Breaking my knee threw a lot of things out of whack.
Does the colloidal silver dry hair out?
No, it’s a lot easier on the hair than tap water. Colloidal silver is just water and 1 mineral (silver). I tend to use 1:1 ratio with distilled water for the liquid.
Hey Angie, I am going to get the MSM powder, but saw your comment and had to ask. Which creams did you use for your knee pain after surgery? I’m trying to determine which would be better between the CMP Max and the Hot Cream. I would be using it for my daughter’s knees (joint pain…not muscular) and my shoulder (torn labrum – SLAP level 2, frayed or possibly torn rotator cuff). It seems those two creams function differently, based on ingredients, and I’ve never tried any of their creams. I can see why both could be beneficial, but am trying to get the strongest options. (Or should I combine them and apply both at the same time?) I am most likely going to need surgery, but am dealing with a lot of pain while I am in the process of pursuing options. Any help or input would be great. 🙂
