I just wanted to share my experience.
I have such a hard time with the smell of MTG. I even tried to make my own with oil and sulfur powder, but it was just too gritty.
I don't use it too often because of that smell - even with essential oils and other things. But, last night, I decided to use it full strength since I am washing my braids this weekend. I put my Vadik Bhringraj oil (love how this makes my hair look) on my scalp and new growth and then put full strength MTG over it. I also sprayed my normal Better Braids spray on top of that (I know it's a lot but moist braids are better braids
) and tied my hair before bed.
Anyway, I had done this before w/o the Bhringraj and tied my hair as normal as still smelled that MTG smell all the next day.
This morning, I don't smell MTG at all, but I do smell the Bhringraj oil, which is a nice shampooey smell.
I am very surprised!
Now, the Bhringraj oil says to wash out after leaving in for 8 hours, but I never do that because it makes my hair look so nice. I use it almost everyday with my Braid Spray and just wash them once a week. Now, I am going to use MTG more often because I don't smell MTG AT ALL! Not one hint that I put MTG on my scalp straight from the little sample bottle I have.
Even w/o the MTG use, my 4 week old braids are ready to be removed because of the new growth I have. I am getting them redone on the 16 of July and that will be pushing it - BIG TIME.

My Bhringraj oil is almost gone and I can't really buy anymore until the end of July or so. The EO's I have will have to kick in then -- You are right -- they do make it better, too.
