Yes it does. It's not going to dissolve. We'll have to shake before each use.
I made my mix last night and did a patch test overnight. Instead of Lavender, I added peppermint and tangerine oils. LOVE that tangerine smell.
I hope everyone's having a fantabulous Friday! Hubby's out of town for the weekend so, it's me and my hair obsession.
BTW, I asked him what he'd say if he came back and I BC to about one inch. He told me date nights would be over til it grew back. What the?! (hubby-->)

Wow! Surge. You must've had that bottle already. I thought the company was sold off and no one has it anymore.

I haven't started using my treatment yets. I tried to start last night but, my hair was on protein overload and when I went to comb my hair up, I heard a rip. I've been putting lots of protein on my hair lately because I'm wet bunning daily (thinking it would need extra). So, I washed everything out of my hair and went into DC mode. I'll start the treatment tomorrow night (or maybe tonight). My hair seems to be ok. Just screamed at me. D'oh!
How's your progress? waiting to hear everyone else's feedback too.

I'm so happy today.
At the begining of this challenge I was a little disapointed because the only product I had found in Paris with sulfur in it was sulfur 8. And today while I was searching some shampoo in my local store I found a shampoo with sulfur in it. There was also a cream with sulfur.
I think that I will buy the shampoo and use it once a week when I will put my braids in. I don't know for the cream 'cause it has vaseline in it.
I just wanted to share

That's not good.
You were right to use extra protein while wet bunng, it just sounds like you over did it. Just keep babying the hair, and giving it the moisture it needs. My hair is responding very well to the sulfur. I think this combo of Ayurveda and sulfur will be my staple for life. It's like the sulfur is helping with the growth, shedding, (it picks it where the ayurveda leaves off), and strength of my hair. While the ayurveda is doing the same things, the tea rinses also make my hair feel silky and the oils help combat the dryness from the sulfur.
As far as growth, I was under processed in some areas from my last relaxer. I wanted to make sure I wasn't confusing that with ng. So I've been paying close attention to the textures since it seemed like it was growing really fast. I can tell it's ng because I now have three distinct textures throughout my head. The ng which is suuuuper dry and almost brillo.
The parts that are under processed, they are softer, but still have a lot of texture, and finally the relaxed ends. I'm almost 5 weeks post and I have an inch of ng in most areas.

Sounds like you're making good progress. I feel you on the textures in regards to the underprocessed areas. I was saying the same about my front, which is the least processed. How am I going to be able to tell the difference between that and NG? I'm glad you said that you can easily tell the diff.
I actually started using my sulfur concoction tonight. My hair feels like its in good condition now. And yes, I WAY over did the protein. I knew better but, the thought of soggy, smushy hair... ah well. My hair called me back to my senses.
Needless to say, I put away the proteins, went DC crazy and am back to sealing in moisture.
Anyway, I was gonna hold off on starting with the sulfur but, I think my hair is ok and it's going on my scalp anyway. Besides, no risk, no reward.
Already I appreciate it not being as oily as MTG and the peppermint oil is definitely adding a little tingle, which I like. Eh, we'll see. Let's hope I don't go to sleep with hair and wake up bald. ... 
Ok, maybe the concoction is making me delirious. Lord, keep me AND my hair as we lay down to sleep tonight. I'm good.

So how did your hair turn out this morning from your concoction?

Glad to hear you found something else with sulfur.
Have you thought of making your own mixture?

Fine. No probs at all. My scalp felt a little tight. I've felt that feeling before. I massaged a lil jojoba oil on the scalp and felt more tingling. I waited a bit while I checked my messages adn then went ahead with my morning cowash routine. I was going to use the treatment every other day but, I think I'm going to use it again tonight. So far, so good.
Oh, and my strands are rehydrated. I did a DC with cholesterol/garlic for about and hour and then another DC with NTM Deep Recovery Mask the next afternoon for another hour. I'm back on point with sealing in moisture and backing aWAY from the heavy proteins. All is well again in my world.
Were you worried?

Nah, I knew you would bounce back. I have to admit using my homemade mixture is def. eaiser to use everyday in terms of dryness vs the MTG.

I think my hair has grown, since I've been natural I have not straighten yet but notice my puff is getting bigger. I did a fresh wash, ayruveda rinse and use BT today.
