I love the results of MTG but I am tired of not being able to wear my silver jewelry and yes it's very oily. I've been using it straight and now I can actually see serious results. I think I'm going to hold off for a little while, if I can.
I haven't stopped, but I took a break.
I was going to a few events, and social outings. I didn't want to have that smell on me. The EO's, and La India creme really help to mask the smell, but I couldn't risk it. I also stay away from it when my hair is freshly done.
I put in the MTG when the hair is old, or there is no chance of me wearing it out.
Don't toss out your tarnished silver jewelry.. If you happen to get some MTG on it...here is a quick way to remove it..Learned this is chemistry class!!
take a piece of aluminum foil...use it to line a small glass bowl...mix a 1-2 tsp of salt plus 1 tablespoon of vinegar plus 3-4 tablespoons of warm water together in the bowl and quickly place your tarnished silver in it. Rinse well with warm water and dry. Color should turn back to silver in less than 2 seconds!!
It works the best on newly tarnished pieces...if you have allowed the silver to sit with the sulphur on it for very long, it permanently discolors the silver. The acid in the vinegar breaks the sulphur bonds and liberates it in the air once it hits the salt and water.. You can actually smell the sulphur once the reaction starts.. smells like rotten eggs.
I use this mixture to polish my silver regularly... You don't have to buy that expensive silver polishing stuff they sell.
I haven't stopped using it but I have reduced my use of it to once a week. I'm trying to start back doing it every night but I have gotten lazy and it's so greasy.
