As a professional, I can tell you that your scalp/dandruff issues is NOT a scalp problem, it is a Digestive problem. Your body contains lots of Yeast which is manifesting on the scalp. Yes, dandruff is yeast. It's what also cause Athletes foot. The foods you eat creates an abundance of Yeast because the body is TOO ACIDIC, your PH is off, the body needs to be in an alkaline state.
shug avery Lmao as a kid I hated grease 😭😭 It gave me terrible acne when I was young and my hair would be oily and dry . Maybe my Mom was doing something wrong. For me, grease was the damn devil from the beginning of time.
I used blue magic once and it made my scalp crack and bleed, my hair gummed together but was still dry and fragile, patches of it fell out where my scalp had gone scabby and it burned like hell. I only use coconut oil now. Hair has gone from shoulder length to 26 inches at the longest point.
@@cki3284 I don't work out. I just do yard work during summer or sweep the side walk all year round (i live in Europe). I just take a shower and rinse my hair off w/o shampoo. Then I add Pink Lotion. For the sweating my doc prescribed estrogen. Works great, keeps you young looking and you can sleep and have no hot flashes.
@@michele33s68 Then don't believe her. Plenty of Black people on RUclips with waist length hair. Hell my youngest daughter has hair that almost touches her butt and we are Black mixed with Black. My eldest daughter hair is past bra strap length and I just did a big chop out of locks. Its 2020, lose that 'Black People hair can't grow long' mentally.
I haven’t used grease since 2006 and my hair is still pretty long. Hair grease is just gross. Like, would you rather have greasy hair or non-greasy hair that still look and feel nice ? 🤷🏽♀️
Wow,, you are so talented! I wish I could braid my hair like that. 😌 I am going back to old school products. The only way to remove grease is using a clarifying shampoo with sulfates.
Grew up with a Single father and he used Hair Grease for a time, but we decided to stop because it was giving me HORRIBLE acne that wasn't going away even with dermatologist-recommended ointments. Although I don't think the grease was working as effectively in my hair as it should've simply for the fact that back in the day. Hair Relaxers were also popular and it wasn't until around 2014 or 2013 when black people started realizing just how horrible that shit is for your hair. We were using the grease, but the relaxers just flat out ruined the structure of my hair strands so it probably didn't help at all. Now, as an adult I have more freedom to do what I want with my hair and I've been natural for about 4-5 years now. I've still had issues retaining length (as Hair relaxers have damaged my scalp so much that some sides just don't grow at all and remain forever dry) and issues with dandruff so hopefully going back to hair grease and strong use of protective styles will remedy this. I'm super excited!
I say this all the time on my RUclips channel you have to go back to basics I just started back using hair grease and it does keep my hair soft and moisturize it really does it's a great sealant I love it👍
@@leospicegirl on the scalp and she never washed it out every week , my mom would braid our hair once a months and yes I had allot of dirt and dust build up weirdly when she took my hair down but she'd take it down and wash it and rebraid my hair putting grease on my scalp and throughout the hair .
I agree. Nothing seals like grease, imo. Not even castor oil. I did test sections on my head. Jbco vs. Blue Magic green and grease won by a landslide. No shade to JBCO though I still really like it but as far as longevity grease wins. I don't want to be reapplying anything to my hair every 2 days.
Bruh when I posted that I was being so serious I wasn’t even trying to be funny once you put it on your scalp some how your whole body end up looking like chicken grease
Most people don’t know HOW to use grease. Its mostly used as a sealant and if you don’t use water, and a moisturizer or leave in conditioner BEFORE putting the grease on your hair (a little bit). Then duuuuuu its going to make your hair dry. 🙄
I have to say that my generation, born in the 60s, used grease differently. My mom used Suave shampoo & conditioner (rinsed out), then greased the scalp (thin layer) and hair; styled in braids, plaits, twists, ponytails or buns, then air dried....that's it. We greased the scalp, brushed the grease down our stands and added more grease to the hair, only if needed. We didn't do deep treatments or leave-ins either, and hair stayed moisturized between washes, every 2 weeks. The water and conditioner hydrated the hair, and the grease helped to condition the scalp and hair along with keeping the moisture in. We didn't struggle to get it out either, doing 2 washes. You have to use a sulfate shampoo, or Dr. Bronners Castile Soap to wash the scalp and hair clean. I noticed that people are using way more grease in their hair than we did. I still have a lot of healthy waist length hair, which would be longer if I didn't cut a lot. I went natural again in my 40s and became a product junkie(smh). Now I'm ready to reintroduce conditioning hair dressers and grease again to see how my hair reacts. Natural products are so expensive. Peace and Blessings!
Catherine Butler Personally i don’t use grease because you have to use a strong sulfate shampoo to get it out of your hair and I’ve had some bad skin reactions to shampoos with strong sulfates.
Omg I needed this!! My bald headed sister kept telling me to use grease and I was like “Nooo I’m natural, only oils!” Now I’m the bald sister and her hair is longer than mines. 😭
A lot of people are SHOCKED how well "hair grease" works on their hair! Why?! that is what older people like me (age 51), my mother, grandmothers, and aunts used for decades! Sometimes the old tried and true works best.
because he's just leaving his hair in braids and not doing anything with it. males can get away with braids in their hair while females usually wear other styles. leaving your hair alone makes it easier to retain length, which is why you might think it's easier for males to grow their hair out.
When I started my journey i think i damaged my hair unnecessarily by trying to follow all these trends. I went back to leave in conditioner and grease and my has grown a lot! Thanks for bringing us back to basics!!
That's all I use too. Water, a good leave-in moisturizing conditner and seal all that in with grease. Hair stay moisturize the whole week. It works better then any oil and hair lotion I used in the past. But when the weather get colder I'm going have to switch to some tpy9w of heavy cream.
PSA: When oiling your scalp and putting it in your hair, USE A SMALL AMOUNT...don't gob it on like oil moisturizer, it will be hard to remove when washing. Also tie your head up with a satin or silk scarf to protect your pillows.
Ros, Castor oil/Jamaican black castor oil helped my dry scalp and might encourage hair growth. Coconut oil is good for dry scalps too. Some people also use vitamin e oil which (I think, correct me if I’m wrong) strengthens the hair. You can also add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to a carrier oil(things like coconut oil, olive oil etc) to promote hair growth since peppermint oil attracts blood to the applied area, increasing blood flow and in turn promoting hair growth. Always dilute essential oils at a concentration of no more than 5%
Funny enough I was using “natural oils” to help with my dandruff. I started using blue magic and INSTANTLY I could feel my scalp say thank you. Unknowingly my hair grow thicker. It works
I still use that stuff, and then use the grease to seal it all in. Girl, my hair has never been better. I'm sticking to grease. Like this is it for me. 🤗
What else you use with it? What length ypur hair was before tpu start using it? i have that one too. But been using their new blue magic grease they have call olive oil. It good too but castor oil one really my favorite one it seem to really grow my hair fast. Had somebody cut too much of my hair and used it for 4 months and it grew back what I lost from the last cut. And the smell of it😍😍😍😍😍
TheFactsAccordingToGabbie1791 I use Shea moisture leave in castor oil conditioner, then I add my blue magic . It was just barley at my shoulders before I started using it
Melanie V yes , but its harder to catch. Its great for breading children's hair and ponytails but not for hair that you want flowing needs something like olive oil, etc. Im a licensed cosmetologist and know about many products there aren't too many I haven't used.
Me too. Somerimes.i want to say so much but only someone who went to school or study trichology or cosmetology will know grease is a sealer . I been stopped using grease over 7 years ago however I do keep coconut grease for my kids. It works well on my daughter that has 4b hair . I stick to certain oils when I wear my hair out and grease.for.braids.
VO5 moisturising shampoo also works very well. I discovered this when I noticed clarifying shampoos dried my scalp so much because they strip out everything. So I tried the moisturising VO5 shampoo and it does the exact same thing as clarifying shampoo but without the stripping.
Hmm, I might have to go back to blue magic real quick. I just use a bunch of different oils in my hair. Honestly never had a problem with grease or pomade but the natural hair movement seemed to vilify it.
Seems like I need to go back to the root of it all, my hair have gotten shorter over the years and when I was younger I had longer hair. Now Im just sitting here sad that its gotten so short to the point I can barely get it into a ponytail now...
Same here... Protein treatment once a month Deep conditions once a week If i have it in cornrows... Wash, condition, heat protection, blowdry, hair grease... lasts for a month in cornrows...
My daughter is half black and Hispanic and because she is biracial, I still would use grease on her hair. When she got older and started listening to her friends..she stopped using grease. Needless to say her hair started breaking off and falling out. But I Thank God she started back using it. Now her hair is back to thriving ya'll. So if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! Don't rock the Boat listening to these natural hair Guru's. Do what works for you
@@mayralyn sis your so wrong. if you think grease stops hair growth your very wrong. do research before you comment. grease SEALS moisture and makes your hair GROW. try watching more videos about it. and when you put grease on your scalp it basically does what sebum and coats the scalp. ask more questions if your curious about hair grease ;P
Growing up, I always used grease (or hair food, as we all it here in Kenya). Then one day as I was going through YT natural hair channels, I realized that natural hair rules had changed, and grease was forbidden, so I stopped. Immediately, I noticed that my hair had a sand-like feeling, and discovered that I was having a SEVERE case of single strand knots, something I had never experienced before. I am back to using my grease, only that this time I apply a lot of water before I seal it all in with the grease. I no longer have the knots, and my hair is back to its previous healthy form.
Blue magic is sweet magic for my hair!!!! I luv the way it adds moisture to my hair, controlling dandruff/itching. Been using it since 1976 & I'm 50 now. New school have a seat & learn from the old school!
ALLCAPS I don’t blame her. Old school stuff is the best tbh. Trying these new products will make you a product junkie and mess up the balance of your hair.
Yeah, blue magic is real hair magic. It's old school and it works. It's always worked. When I stopped perming my hair I tried all those new products that have come out and for a while I was really struggling with my hair, couldn't figure out how my mom could grow my hair down to my back but I couldn't get it to my shoulders. I went back to Blue Magic and no more problems. I grease my scalp weakly and the ends of my hair after making sure my hair is moisturized. It really helps retain length.
Same sis same. My hair suffered trying different styles and products in the beginning of my journey. Now I just use my favorite moisturizer, grease and twist my hair, weekly scalp grease and moisturize my hair and Chile my hair has come back to life.
My childhood grease was B&B. I haven't used it in years and my hair is way in my back. Leave in conditioner every couple of days do it for me. I do put oil on my scalp.
I grew up using grease, then i remember when pink oil moisturizer came out, started using that too! My hair was the healthiest and it didnt need much. Used to grease my SCALP on a regular basis and it WORKED great! Never had dandruff or an itchy scalp. Tip: if you grease your scalp, you dont even need to put much grease on the actual hair...it will spread, through combing, etc
My great aunt use to keep blue magic in the fridge and when it was time to moisturize our scalp it felt sooo good going on and our hair grew long, thick and healthy.
HEAVEN I think she did that so it could last, I bought some a while back and kept it under the sink about a month later I open it and it had black stuff on it(I think it was mold) but from then on out I kept it in the fridge and now I don’t have that issue.
I got a cabinet full of natural hair products that I have abandoned over the last month for good old BLUE MAGIC! my hair is much happier, less dry, and easier to manage.
@@faithmartina4144 I loc’d my hair just over a year ago. I’m product free now expect for oil and water. If I remember correctly I was using the African pride leave in conditioner spray, and curling cream, and a little bit of grease in my scalp and palms for taking by twist down.
I tried the natural oil trend for like a year and my hair just never felt moisturized, so i went back to my mamas method blue magic indian hemp grease and my hair is thicker den a snicker and almost waist length, thas the problem wit folks always running to jump on the bandwagon of other people's opinions instead of doing what worked for them as kids even into adulthood, I admit i was briefly guilty of that but I raaaan back to my greasy roots and my hair has thrived, If I hadnt went back to grease and continued wit essential oils I would probably still be at APL smh
@@sheilabrown3597 honestly they are both great sealants, I just prefer the indian hemp because of the herbal extracts it offers as well...basically all I do is wash and deep condition my hair every weekend on a sat , put a small amount of any moisurizer from the root of my hair down the shaft then go back over each section with a small amount of grease from root to shaft , twist it up put my bonnet on, I do this once a week and it retains length like crazy, now if u want to oil your actual scalp use an essential oil like coconut, grapeseed, rosemary , castor etc.. Whatever u like...i do that step as well to the scalp only
@@Lifewithherlymer its your choice but i choose to use it only as a sealant because it locks in moisture and keeps those ends in tact, the scalp on its own produces a natural oil called sebum and does not really need a extra petroleum product to clog it ...but I will suggest if u do decide to use it on your scalp as well, use it very lighly because too much can be clogging to the pores
I have drawers of hair products...but best believe I still reach for STRAIGHT UP VASELINE when protective styling. What can I say? 🤷🏾♀️ Petroleum jelly still hits 🤷🏾♀️
@@lyrical_love yes. You put your leave in before the hair grease. It's really thick and if you try to put on any product after applying the blue magic, the product will just sit on the hair strand and won't do anything.
@joanne jones yes only a little each section is what I do. Sometimes you have to add more and comb through the section to distribute the product evenly and define the curls before manipulating it's shape into a braid or twist
My braids out be so bouncy .. but my scalp dry af. I think it's because I been using a clarifying V05 shampoo and they cheap conditioner. Lol switching from Garnier and treseme products.
@@katrina1694 always remember to oil your scalp after rinsing it with water, shampooing it or conditioning it. Its the same as if you took a shower or washed your face and didn't put lotion on it afterwards. Ashy and dry af lol. Trust me I've been there 😂. Try using castor oil after shampooing and conditioning. And put it DIRECTLY on your scalp in sections. If you have high density you need to put it in sections so you're actually oiling all of your scalp.
I went back to grease, threw out every oil, pudding, all the mess they said u need for growth, the old school works! Had shelves full of product, no thank u!
@MeMe So Free if ur black-impossible. Our hair makes its own oil called sebum so how does oil "doesnt do nothing for my hair"? Explain cause i wanna learn. Our hair breaks off without water and oil(grease, sebum, butter, etc)
Im 19 i still use pink lotion & grease lol it makes my hair moisturized. Tbh remember blue magic & pink lotion have been here WAYYY before all these expensive bussin heads open products!! Id rather spend what $5 on grease than $15 on just 1 product!!! Old school is best my hair was all the way to my butt when i was a kid thats what my ma used, ima stick to it.
Yes clarifying shampoo does wonders for any kind of product build up. It's been a standby for years. But yes I have to use my grease even if it's just every other shampoo. I have to. My hair is sooo dry without it. I have 3c 4a hair.
Blue magic literally saved my hair. Everyone gives me this look whenever they ask bec my hair is mad soft, long, and healthy. "Well ur scalp is gonna get clogged" nah because that's what shampoo is for 😂
When i had wayyy to much dandruff around 6 or 7 my mom weighed me down with sulfur 8 and now I can use regular hair grease but sulfur 8 stay in tge cabinet
Grease is the be all, end all in my opinion. I hopped on that natural bandwagon for a smooth year or two, and my waist length hair went bye byes 👋🏼. Single strand knots, always dry, flakes all over my scalp, it was nuts. Got back to using my Indian hemp oil, $2.49 at Walmart, and voila! Hair was back like it never left. Ends look great, hair is thick, and my scalp is no longer peeling and getting yellow scales all over it. Aloe vera juice or water, followed by grease, is all I use now and I shall not stray. Oh and black castor oil on them edges, Thanks for making a video on this! As always, your videos are superb!
EXACTLY THAT WHY HAPPENED TO ME waist length my whole life listen to you tubers to stop grease flacking bad itchiness thick scaby flakes shedding once I greased my hair growing back fast asf
I think that's why ppl go wrong with grease and dont like it. It's literally a force field of protection, nothing coming in or out like he said.. that's why when we we younger, well my mom did, she would always dipped a brush in warm water mixed with conditioner and then applied the grease. Hair was soft for days. I still do something similar. I even use that brown gel from ampro styler
We used to wet our hair, soften/melt about a tsp of grease - sometimes mix in coconut oil (summer) and/or castor oil (winter), lightly coat the scalp/top third and ends, comb & brush it through the entire length and plait/twist/braid it up for the week......everybody was Rapunzel growing up! 🤣😂
Will, when I was a child I wanted a chemistry set, Mom said no. She thought I would blow up the house. Well I continued to play chemist mixing things in the kitchen and in my craft room. Back in 2015 I started mixing my own treatment for my hair to give me shine and definition. This is what I came up with. I put Shea butter in my microwave for a few min or so. Let that cool down but, still liquid. Put the melted Shea in a Glass bowl then added a little at a time of African Pride, Shea Miracle, Leave in Conditioner. I then mixed this concoction with a electric hand mixer till it was light and fluffy. Placed the mixture in small containers and stored it in the refrigerator till I needed some. Let me tell you oiling my scalp and hair with that cool mixture was so enjoyable. I still make it to this day. This mixture is light and adds moisture to hair and because of the light weight it washes out with no problem. P.S. I applied it to freshly washed damp hair. P.P.S I'm 69 this year so you know I have been through several hair styles and treatments over the years, I have tried it all. Natural hair styling is my favorite. Love your channel and I am a subscriber. You are a delightful young man, keep up the good work.
Yessss! Grease! I tried way too many of those new products. My natural hair responds so much better to GREASE!! Not spending anymore money on all that expensive stuff that didn’t work!
I think you used too much. I have your exact same hair texture and have been using blue magic for years and you only need a LITTLE bit to achieve the same results! If you need that much shampoo to wash it our, you probably overdid it. :)
Or. *Gasp* gotta use a clarifying shampoo or... Sulfates. They just strip everything and nothing to worry about unless you dont add the moisture back afterwards.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well Julissa, if it’s possible to find a good clarifying shampoo then he wouldn’t need to run through it as quick but it might still rack up the cost.
Getchu some suave rosemary mint shampoo or neutrogena clarifying shampoo. I promise you it'll only take two lathers at most. Follow that bad boy up with some super moisturizing conditioner/ deep conditioner and you'll be set.
I used to spend 50$ on hair products for it to end up looking terrible and frizzy. When I was younger my mom used to use blue magic that really made my 3c curls pop and my hair soft . I started using it again because my dad who has shoulder length hair was using it on his curls and I don’t like buying products lol My hair is the softest it’s been in years.
I don't Kno why naturals like to tell people grease bad my whole life my hair was down my back GREASING MY SCALP BUT ONCE I. Stop and listen to these RUclipsrs not to it slowed down my hair growth I start flackin itchiness and it cacked never again back to grease don't have it anymore scalp healthy again and waist length
You're so right. I always had long hair and honestly the only thing I do different now this time around is detangle my hair when it's wet and use a bunch of mixed oils.
I don't listen to these RUclipsrs either I'm relaxed and you know the relaxed Community says don't use grease LOL but I use it anyway and guess what my hair is growing and it's pretty and it's getting thicker I stopped listening to these RUclipsrs as well so I'm doing what I want to do on my channel I'm using Grease and people are going to see more of me using it as a matter fact I'm doing the video this weekend about prepare my hair for my relaxer and I'm going to use that grease when I get done washing my hair :-)👊💥
@@Kimari649 well I'm using grease again to just started back in May and it is a good sealant and I'm relaxed and when I used to use grease my hair was down my back just like our daughters they all had big hair now they use grease on our granddaughter's hair and they have big hair and long hair to so I don't see what the fuss is about some people maybe can't use it because it way their hair down will put bumps on their face as they say I don't know that it grew my hair never grew our daughter's hair too and now it's growing our grandchildren hair😊
My short fro is looking like a bomb whole ass wig, ever since I have used started using water leave in conditioner then grease. I am team grease for life now. My hair is growing fast too. 😊
@@diamond6615 I was young and my hair looked like a grease ball but it was healthy 🤣! You should try applying it once per week and see how your hair reacts to it!
That’s why it’s called Blue Magic. Literally all you need to have hair done your back, oh, and water. Social media got us all twisted but we coming back to the light 💡 😭
i’m blessed to not have any dandruff/dry scalp problems. but i’ve been using blue magic to seal the moisture in my high porosity hair. it keeps my hair moisturized for the entire week, my hair is mad shiny, i have bomb definition, and since it repels moisture from the outside, i have minimum frizz! i’m just tryna get into the habit of oiling my scalp 😭
I have high porosity hair too and ive used grease in a past but wasn't consistent with seeing if it helped with moisture/length retention. I might try it again.
When all else fails, do what you know! Old School works! They have simple ingredients and they're not as expensive as all the new natural hair products! Plus they really are for us made by us! LOVED your Vlog!
@@celestielsigh Equal parts water to apple cider vinegar is standard, but of course you can adjust it to see how your hair responds. I've even used 100% apple cider vinegar when I didn't feel like mixing it up and I didn't have any problems. I put it on before getting in the shower - for 5 minutes and up to several hours. If you have large patches of dandruff, you will see some shedding on the 3rd day, so take that into consideration. One friend thought it wasn't working because of the shedding, but he found out it was clearing his scalp.
Exactly right! I scrub/scratch my scalp and just apply it straight to wet hair. I don't dilute it or any of that, but others might need to. If I'm doing it consistently, I only need to so it once, on wash day, but if I don't, I have to do it twice then do the normal shampoo and condition follow up.
I love that you're a guy with natural hair on RUclips coming with the styles, tipsnand tricks. I've been binging your videos for a couple days now. New subbie
A LOT of "grease" is the main reason people retained length when they wore the jheri curl, according to a stylist. People think it was just the moisture but grease was the holy grail. The internet is full of people who moisturize yet still have dry hair.
I've been following a lady on here by the name of Mrs Mississippi. She grew her hair with just shampoo and grease. So I decided to try it. My hair is softer and more pliable. I don't use a lot of it. And it surprising doesn't feel greasy. I don't feel any knots on my ends and less hair came out last two washes.
Someone else mentioned this in a different grease video and I never even thought about it but back in the day our mama's used grease all the time AND sulfate shampoos to wash it out. These days we all want sulfate-free cleansers but like you mentioned in this video it took 5 or 6 lathers to get out silk that grease. So yeah if we go back to the basics (blue magic) then guess we gotta go all the way back to whatever old school shampoo you used too
Kimberly Reece yes! I wash my hair with sulfate shampoo then use sulfate free shampoo on the 2nd wash or sulfate shampoo for both washes. I can’t depend on sulfate free shampoo to clean my scalp 😩
Creme of Nature detangling shampoo which they stopped making the original formula because it would’ve put all these other shampoos, hairsprays, conditioners, hair serums, leave-in conditioners, etc..out of business. You only needed that one product which did everything for our hair. Now we have to buy product after product hoping to get the same results...That a $7.99 32 ounce bottle did without the need for anything else which last for months at a time.
Kimberly Reece I wash my hair with Pantene gold shampoo and then wash with Castille liquid peppermint soap to get it squeaky clean from the blue magic build up.
Does it get your sebum out too. I used sulfates and it got rid of grease but also made my hair weak and dry and brittle and terrible overall. What's the balance.
Éthérée you might be allergic or sensitive to sulfates! try to just stay away from products that have them. bc i’ve noticed a correlation with how my mama is allergic to sulfates, and can’t use it on her hair, but i’m not allergic to it, but also can’t use it on mine
I notice more naturals going back to grease. Our ancestors used water and grease and still flourished 👍🏽. Castor oil (after properly moisturizing) works great for me. My tried & true and I always come back to it and olive oil when my hair needs a pick me up through the week. Never had flakes or dry scalp. Doubt you'll see this 😭...but maybe use tea tree oil for the fungus & lavender (to offset the smell & it's antifungal & antibacteral) in water to make a scalp spray..let it sit a few mins then add castor oil on top to seal it in. These ingredients are in my leave in conditioner I make & part of my hair regimen religiously. Grease clogged my pores and is hard to rinse out when I needed to clarify, sometimes smells sour if you dont get it all out or it mixes with sweat 😭 & I got those hard keratin build up bumps around my hairline...before I even went natural. Try the spray with a dab of vegetable glycerin in ir with castor oil for a month and see how it compares to the grease. 🙂
19Honey87 M Our ancestors used natural grease from animal fat, not petroleum (used to make gasoline) or mineral oil (known to clog pores and actually drying to hair).
@@april_dawn true and those who did flourished as well!! But to clarify, I was referring to the late 1800-1900s...like our grand parents, great, and great great grands. Those ancestors (though closer to immediate family so I guess I should have said elders?) They used standard hair grease as well. My grandpa & mom would tell stories about how their grandparents or great grands or other elders used standard hair grease, and sometimes, melted animal fat/crisco/butter, or plain old motor oil/engine grease to slick down their hair and their hair always thrived from that period from the pictures you see. NOT saying it's good to use though lol. I wonder if that's that's why they started adding petrolatum to grease...aka petroleum. Though I know they're different in checmical composition but I wonder if they are derived from the same source because of the hair/engine grease thing they always used to tell me about lol. Personally I prefer castor oil olive oil, and sometimes shea butter when I have it on hand 😆 but I have tried Crisco out of curiosity and it does work LOL more like a moisturizing grease instead of a sealant. Not brave enough to try the hair grease anymore or the motor oil 😆. But our elders would spray their hair with plain old water, plop that grease on and have hair down their backs when they let ot down, or huge fros without all this confusing hair stufd we have now. Hair products today probably just have more chemicals in them now compared to back then, because people are more greedy and adding unnecessary fillers to thin out resources, so I'm not trying to spread misinformation and saying just roll with it. But in the mid to late 1800-1900 they used grease like we did today and their hair still flourished. But the chemicals in grease could be different too. Idk, but it's interesting when you think about it
I would recommend mixing your grease with something like an oil to break up its thickness. I mixed blue magic Indian hemp. Do gro. And wild growth oil into a container. The wild growth help it not be so thick. I’m able to get the grease out in two washes.

How you think y’all hair was growing when u was younger your mother was using that grease now stop tryna be boujee
Okurrrrrr!!!! He know what's REALLY UP.
I haven’t used grease since 2006 and my hair is still pretty long. Hair grease is just gross. Like, would you rather have greasy hair or non-greasy hair that still look and feel nice ? 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah they dont got brand new...Lol

nunya biznes true but people can use the grease under protective styles...just to nourish the hair back to health
Sulfur 8 and super grow greases always keep the flakes & itching away.
summersms25 mhm I use the super grow grease
Wow,, you are so talented! I wish I could braid my hair like that. 😌 I am going back to old school products. The only way to remove grease is using a clarifying shampoo with sulfates.
@Fol A where did you hear that from? your scalp needs oils so it can help your hair grow
@Fol A its clearly not enough oil so adding more helps. If you dont your hair will be dry
Fol A only because it’s not a oil , grease is mostly petroleum which is bad for your scalp because it clogs your pipes

Grew up with a Single father and he used Hair Grease for a time, but we decided to stop because it was giving me HORRIBLE acne that wasn't going away even with dermatologist-recommended ointments.
Although I don't think the grease was working as effectively in my hair as it should've simply for the fact that back in the day. Hair Relaxers were also popular and it wasn't until around 2014 or 2013 when black people started realizing just how horrible that shit is for your hair. We were using the grease, but the relaxers just flat out ruined the structure of my hair strands so it probably didn't help at all. Now, as an adult I have more freedom to do what I want with my hair and I've been natural for about 4-5 years now. I've still had issues retaining length (as Hair relaxers have damaged my scalp so much that some sides just don't grow at all and remain forever dry) and issues with dandruff so hopefully going back to hair grease and strong use of protective styles will remedy this. I'm super excited!
😂😂😭
look sometimes you just gotta go back to the basics!

Low manipulation and moisture is the trick. Plus getting enough sleep and eating healthy food.
Ffffffacts
I personally feel hair grease is a better sealant than oil.
It sits on your hair longer so the moisture is retained longer
Yeah I agree. Oil is good for the scalp and grease is good to seal your hair.
I agree. Nothing seals like grease, imo. Not even castor oil. I did test sections on my head. Jbco vs. Blue Magic green and grease won by a landslide. No shade to JBCO though I still really like it but as far as longevity grease wins. I don't want to be reapplying anything to my hair every 2 days.

That’s true and I already have oily skin. That’s probably why I stopped using it. Thank you for reminding me.

Bruh when I posted that I was being so serious I wasn’t even trying to be funny once you put it on your scalp some how your whole body end up looking like chicken grease
Most people don’t know HOW to use grease. Its mostly used as a sealant and if you don’t use water, and a moisturizer or leave in conditioner BEFORE putting the grease on your hair (a little bit). Then duuuuuu its going to make your hair dry. 🙄
I have to say that my generation, born in the 60s, used grease differently. My mom used Suave shampoo & conditioner (rinsed out), then greased the scalp (thin layer) and hair; styled in braids, plaits, twists, ponytails or buns, then air dried....that's it. We greased the scalp, brushed the grease down our stands and added more grease to the hair, only if needed. We didn't do deep treatments or leave-ins either, and hair stayed moisturized between washes, every 2 weeks. The water and conditioner hydrated the hair, and the grease helped to condition the scalp and hair along with keeping the moisture in. We didn't struggle to get it out either, doing 2 washes. You have to use a sulfate shampoo, or Dr. Bronners Castile Soap to wash the scalp and hair clean. I noticed that people are using way more grease in their hair than we did. I still have a lot of healthy waist length hair, which would be longer if I didn't cut a lot. I went natural again in my 40s and became a product junkie(smh). Now I'm ready to reintroduce conditioning hair dressers and grease again to see how my hair reacts. Natural products are so expensive. Peace and Blessings!
Catherine Butler Personally i don’t use grease because you have to use a strong sulfate shampoo to get it out of your hair and I’ve had some bad skin reactions to shampoos with strong sulfates.
I thought hair grease like blue magic was a leave in conditioner?
Latte Cliche I used Bentonite clay to get it out
Can I use JUST water and then the grease?
Omg I needed this!! My bald headed sister kept telling me to use grease and I was like “Nooo I’m natural, only oils!” Now I’m the bald sister and her hair is longer than mines. 😭

WHYYYYYY IS IT SOOOO MUCH EASIERRRR FOR GUYSSSS TO GROW THEY HAIR THAN FEMALEEESSSSSS IMMMM MAAAAAADDDD!

Lol
because he's just leaving his hair in braids and not doing anything with it. males can get away with braids in their hair while females usually wear other styles. leaving your hair alone makes it easier to retain length, which is why you might think it's easier for males to grow their hair out.
Also makes get haircuts like every other week so they’re cutting dead ends before they even get the change to form🤷🏾♀️
The sound effects are always on time and simply superb! Lol
yes these sound effects and visuals are Hilariousss!

That's all I use too. Water, a good leave-in moisturizing conditner and seal all that in with grease. Hair stay moisturize the whole week. It works better then any oil and hair lotion I used in the past. But when the weather get colder I'm going have to switch to some tpy9w of heavy cream.

Yea I woke up the morning nd my pillow was stained with oil LMAOOOICDNSSINS 😭😭😭
can someone tell me what kind of oil should I put on my scalp please? 😭
Ros, Castor oil/Jamaican black castor oil helped my dry scalp and might encourage hair growth. Coconut oil is good for dry scalps too. Some people also use vitamin e oil which (I think, correct me if I’m wrong) strengthens the hair. You can also add a few drops of peppermint essential oil to a carrier oil(things like coconut oil, olive oil etc) to promote hair growth since peppermint oil attracts blood to the applied area, increasing blood flow and in turn promoting hair growth. Always dilute essential oils at a concentration of no more than 5%
@@GirlXO Can you explain the 5% please? Thanks.
Grease always worked better in my hair than oil. Oil makes my scalp itch and then flake up.

Me too. Somerimes.i want to say so much but only someone who went to school or study trichology or cosmetology will know grease is a sealer . I been stopped using grease over 7 years ago however I do keep coconut grease for my kids. It works well on my daughter that has 4b hair . I stick to certain oils when I wear my hair out and grease.for.braids.
It's great for straightening my hair. Softee hair grease in particular.
When I'm preparing for protective style. After I blowdry . I actually apply grease to braid my hair down in 4 braids.

RealMcCoy411 this is the only product I use!! I try to tell people about VO5! It’s cheap and amazing!
The Suave Clarifying Shampoo is good and cheap as well. It cuts through the grease, when I use it!
VO5 moisturising shampoo also works very well. I discovered this when I noticed clarifying shampoos dried my scalp so much because they strip out everything. So I tried the moisturising VO5 shampoo and it does the exact same thing as clarifying shampoo but without the stripping.
Thank you all for these tips 🙏

Grease stops hair growth and makes your hair dry cause petroleum I don’t advise to use it
@@mayralyn sis your so wrong. if you think grease stops hair growth your very wrong. do research before you comment. grease SEALS moisture and makes your hair GROW. try watching more videos about it. and when you put grease on your scalp it basically does what sebum and coats the scalp. ask more questions if your curious about hair grease ;P
Growing up, I always used grease (or hair food, as we all it here in Kenya). Then one day as I was going through YT natural hair channels, I realized that natural hair rules had changed, and grease was forbidden, so I stopped. Immediately, I noticed that my hair had a sand-like feeling, and discovered that I was having a SEVERE case of single strand knots, something I had never experienced before. I am back to using my grease, only that this time I apply a lot of water before I seal it all in with the grease. I no longer have the knots, and my hair is back to its previous healthy form.

When I stopped perming my hair I tried all those new products that have come out and for a while I was really struggling with my hair, couldn't figure out how my mom could grow my hair down to my back but I couldn't get it to my shoulders. I went back to Blue Magic and no more problems. I grease my scalp weakly and the ends of my hair after making sure my hair is moisturized. It really helps retain length.

Used to grease my SCALP on a regular basis and it WORKED great! Never had dandruff or an itchy scalp. Tip: if you grease your scalp, you dont even need to put much grease on the actual hair...it will spread, through combing, etc
My great aunt use to keep blue magic in the fridge and when it was time to moisturize our scalp it felt sooo good going on and our hair grew long, thick and healthy.
Mariah Mariah what does keeping it in the fridge do?
HEAVEN I think she did that so it could last, I bought some a while back and kept it under the sink about a month later I open it and it had black stuff on it(I think it was mold) but from then on out I kept it in the fridge and now I don’t have that issue.

@@sheilabrown3597 honestly they are both great sealants, I just prefer the indian hemp because of the herbal extracts it offers as well...basically all I do is wash and deep condition my hair every weekend on a sat , put a small amount of any moisurizer from the root of my hair down the shaft then go back over each section with a small amount of grease from root to shaft , twist it up put my bonnet on, I do this once a week and it retains length like crazy, now if u want to oil your actual scalp use an essential oil like coconut, grapeseed, rosemary , castor etc..
Whatever u like...i do that step as well to the scalp only
Facts. I used to hop on natural hair trends instead of developing my own routines/using what worked best for me.
yes beautyizhername so we should not apply the hemp on scalp?? Only but put it as sealant
@@Lifewithherlymer its your choice but i choose to use it only as a sealant because it locks in moisture and keeps those ends in tact, the scalp on its own produces a natural oil called sebum and does not really need a extra petroleum product to clog it ...but I will suggest if u do decide to use it on your scalp as well, use it very lighly because too much can be clogging to the pores

@@virginiacharles437 I feel u. I have 4c hair. I don't use grease very often but always have some on standby especially in the winter.
That's what I was thinking...just a good clarifying shampoo, I also use Castile soap
Blue magic literally saved my hair. Everyone gives me this look whenever they ask bec my hair is mad soft, long, and healthy. "Well ur scalp is gonna get clogged" nah because that's what shampoo is for 😂
Breona blue magic coconut is what helped that dry transition hair . My hair is on point omg
Same for me sis
Funny because growing up that's all we had. People ask me the same thing. Grease and water, that's it.
Mary Heard I raised my 3 daughter on hair grease . All had long hair when did it become so toxic lol people are a trip including video dude
@@harlonda40 because its petroleum based 😒 People need to research and learn about the world instead of jumping on bullshit
Let me go stock up on grease before the price goes up! 🤣🤣🤣
Twylight Weekends LMAOOOO frr🤣
Thanks for the tip, cause once products sales increase, so does the price.
No need I have alot of grease at home
Too late! These stores have already jacked the price up to $10.99 and up!
@@natural7ly694 for real
I use sulfur 8 that’s been my baby since I discovered it
Yaaassss
When i had wayyy to much dandruff around 6 or 7 my mom weighed me down with sulfur 8 and now I can use regular hair grease but sulfur 8 stay in tge cabinet
My braids come out perfect 👏🏾😍❤️
Yesssss samee
The best really
Grease is the be all, end all in my opinion. I hopped on that natural bandwagon for a smooth year or two, and my waist length hair went bye byes 👋🏼. Single strand knots, always dry, flakes all over my scalp, it was nuts. Got back to using my Indian hemp oil, $2.49 at Walmart, and voila! Hair was back like it never left. Ends look great, hair is thick, and my scalp is no longer peeling and getting yellow scales all over it. Aloe vera juice or water, followed by grease, is all I use now and I shall not stray. Oh and black castor oil on them edges, Thanks for making a video on this! As always, your videos are superb!
EXACTLY THAT WHY HAPPENED TO ME waist length my whole life listen to you tubers to stop grease flacking bad itchiness thick scaby flakes shedding once I greased my hair growing back fast asf
yagurlnell hello what brand of hemp oil you use?
JadeSo Fade yep me too omg
Do you mean the Indian heap light grease I did not know they had a oil
I think that's why ppl go wrong with grease and dont like it. It's literally a force field of protection, nothing coming in or out like he said.. that's why when we we younger, well my mom did, she would always dipped a brush in warm water mixed with conditioner and then applied the grease. Hair was soft for days. I still do something similar. I even use that brown gel from ampro styler
Good idea
I've been trying to remember the name of that gel! lol Nothing worked like that gel when I was a kid, and I've been wanting to try it out again.
@@MsSphinx91 ampro styler it's even a vegan gel too
Yes you hit it right on the nail. That warm cup of water💙💪🏽💙
My hair was longer when I used grease I stop using it cause listen others about it not being good for hair now I going back to grease for good
Caribbean parents believe in grease😭😭😭
My mom bought it in paper. ..in the 80s..lol
I so agree. Blue magic was my child hood product.
Blue magique 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
you aint lie gurl
You Caribbeans always trying to claim something ....
We used to wet our hair, soften/melt about a tsp of grease - sometimes mix in coconut oil (summer) and/or castor oil (winter), lightly coat the scalp/top third and ends, comb & brush it through the entire length and plait/twist/braid it up for the week......everybody was Rapunzel growing up! 🤣😂
Will, when I was a child I wanted a chemistry set, Mom said no. She thought I would blow up the house. Well I continued to play chemist mixing things in the kitchen and in my craft room. Back in 2015 I started mixing my own treatment for my hair to give me shine and definition.
This is what I came up with.
I put Shea butter in my microwave for a few min or so. Let that cool down but, still liquid. Put the melted Shea in a Glass bowl then added a little at a time of African Pride, Shea Miracle, Leave in Conditioner. I then mixed this concoction with a electric hand mixer till it was light and fluffy. Placed the mixture in small containers and stored it in the refrigerator till I needed some. Let me tell you oiling my scalp and hair with that cool mixture was so enjoyable. I still make it to this day. This mixture is light and adds moisture to hair and because of the light weight it washes out with no problem. P.S. I applied it to freshly washed damp hair. P.P.S I'm 69 this year so you know I have been through several hair styles and treatments over the years, I have tried it all. Natural hair styling is my favorite. Love your channel and I am a subscriber. You are a delightful young man, keep up the good work.
The “snowing” cut had me hollering 😂
Yessss! Grease! I tried way too many of those new products. My natural hair responds so much better to GREASE!! Not spending anymore money on all that expensive stuff that didn’t work!
I think you used too much. I have your exact same hair texture and have been using blue magic for years and you only need a LITTLE bit to achieve the same results! If you need that much shampoo to wash it our, you probably overdid it. :)
Or. *Gasp* gotta use a clarifying shampoo or... Sulfates. They just strip everything and nothing to worry about unless you dont add the moisture back afterwards.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well Julissa, if it’s possible to find a good clarifying shampoo then he wouldn’t need to run through it as quick but it might still rack up the cost.
I've used grease too & haven't felt like I've had to use an extreme amount of shampoo to get it out.
True!! Or Ghana or Nigeria black soap! That stuff is super as a clarifying shampoo
I agree with using less, clarifying shampoo, and I would try rinsing with water as hot as I can stand for several minutes before applying shampoo.
Getchu some suave rosemary mint shampoo or neutrogena clarifying shampoo. I promise you it'll only take two lathers at most. Follow that bad boy up with some super moisturizing conditioner/ deep conditioner and you'll be set.
I used to spend 50$ on hair products for it to end up looking terrible and frizzy. When I was younger my mom used to use blue magic that really made my 3c curls pop and my hair soft . I started using it again because my dad who has shoulder length hair was using it on his curls and I don’t like buying products lol My hair is the softest it’s been in years.
I just started using grease again. I use the Blue Magic Cholesterol when I deep condition
Iswear by cholesterol...been using it 4 yrs
@@justineturner2850 yassssss. My mom had me using it when I was younger.
I don't Kno why naturals like to tell people grease bad my whole life my hair was down my back GREASING MY SCALP BUT ONCE I. Stop and listen to these RUclipsrs not to it slowed down my hair growth I start flackin itchiness and it cacked never again back to grease don't have it anymore scalp healthy again and waist length
You're so right. I always had long hair and honestly the only thing I do different now this time around is detangle my hair when it's wet and use a bunch of mixed oils.
I don't listen to these RUclipsrs either I'm relaxed and you know the relaxed Community says don't use grease LOL but I use it anyway and guess what my hair is growing and it's pretty and it's getting thicker I stopped listening to these RUclipsrs as well so I'm doing what I want to do on my channel I'm using Grease and people are going to see more of me using it as a matter fact I'm doing the video this weekend about prepare my hair for my relaxer and I'm going to use that grease when I get done washing my hair :-)👊💥
Same here! My hair is down my back too.
@@Kimari649 well I'm using grease again to just started back in May and it is a good sealant and I'm relaxed and when I used to use grease my hair was down my back just like our daughters they all had big hair now they use grease on our granddaughter's hair and they have big hair and long hair to so I don't see what the fuss is about some people maybe can't use it because it way their hair down will put bumps on their face as they say I don't know that it grew my hair never grew our daughter's hair too and now it's growing our grandchildren hair😊
Grease doesn’t grow your hair unless it has certain ingredients in it but most people use it for protective styling and it grows faster
My short fro is looking like a bomb whole ass wig, ever since I have used started using water leave in conditioner then grease. I am team grease for life now. My hair is growing fast too. 😊
I used to put hair grease in my hair everyday in middle school and put it in a low bun. My hair was till my hip. I’m gonna start using it again.
so should i use it everyday?
@@diamond6615 I was young and my hair looked like a grease ball but it was healthy 🤣! You should try applying it once per week and see how your hair reacts to it!
When I first went natural, I would wash, deep condition, add a lil leave in and use the same exact grease and my hair was bomb.
Nobody can edit like will with all these sound effects and videos 💀.
•ItsssWolfy • don bbw can and they should do a collab
•ItsssWolfy • Right I was thinking the same!
I've bought so much expensive products for my hair. All I needed was waterand UltraSheen.
M L And I OOP
That’s why it’s called Blue Magic. Literally all you need to have hair done your back, oh, and water. Social media got us all twisted but we coming back to the light 💡 😭
For low porosity though? Do you do liquid leave in then grease?
@@israeliana just use regular grease.
@@eve3363 so just put the water first on your hair than the grease?
@@emi6099 Hello. I'm not sure about the water thing. But I do know greasing your scalp is good.
@@emi6099 Yes you can do just water and grease or leave in and grease or all 3. Just make sure hair is damp with something before applying grease.
i’m blessed to not have any dandruff/dry scalp problems. but i’ve been using blue magic to seal the moisture in my high porosity hair. it keeps my hair moisturized for the entire week, my hair is mad shiny, i have bomb definition, and since it repels moisture from the outside, i have minimum frizz! i’m just tryna get into the habit of oiling my scalp 😭
So you use the hair grease after all your other hair products?
I have high porosity hair too and ive used grease in a past but wasn't consistent with seeing if it helped with moisture/length retention. I might try it again.
My granny been using grease on my hair all my life. Along with a hot comb.
Back in the day with all those “bad” grease products. As youths our hair would grow.
My hair didn't though
When all else fails, do what you know! Old School works! They have simple ingredients and they're not as expensive as all the new natural hair products! Plus they really are for us made by us! LOVED your Vlog!
Use Apple cider vinegar to get it out. Works like a charm
Absolutely right! Apple cider vinegar is a miracle worker. It works fast and help you remove all flakes.
Do you dilute it with water? I want to try but would like to know the proper ratios to use so I don't damage my hair
@@celestielsigh Equal parts water to apple cider vinegar is standard, but of course you can adjust it to see how your hair responds. I've even used 100% apple cider vinegar when I didn't feel like mixing it up and I didn't have any problems. I put it on before getting in the shower - for 5 minutes and up to several hours. If you have large patches of dandruff, you will see some shedding on the 3rd day, so take that into consideration. One friend thought it wasn't working because of the shedding, but he found out it was clearing his scalp.
Exactly right! I scrub/scratch my scalp and just apply it straight to wet hair. I don't dilute it or any of that, but others might need to. If I'm doing it consistently, I only need to so it once, on wash day, but if I don't, I have to do it twice then do the normal shampoo and condition follow up.
celestielsigh Cantu has an ACV rinse with tea tree oil. It is amazing.
I love that you're a guy with natural hair on RUclips coming with the styles, tipsnand tricks. I've been binging your videos for a couple days now. New subbie
A LOT of "grease" is the main reason people retained length when they wore the jheri curl, according to a stylist. People think it was just the moisture but grease was the holy grail. The internet is full of people who moisturize yet still have dry hair.
Lol corn flakes
I've been following a lady on here by the name of Mrs Mississippi. She grew her hair with just shampoo and grease. So I decided to try it. My hair is softer and more pliable. I don't use a lot of it. And it surprising doesn't feel greasy. I don't feel any knots on my ends and less hair came out last two washes.
Someone else mentioned this in a different grease video and I never even thought about it but back in the day our mama's used grease all the time AND sulfate shampoos to wash it out. These days we all want sulfate-free cleansers but like you mentioned in this video it took 5 or 6 lathers to get out silk that grease. So yeah if we go back to the basics (blue magic) then guess we gotta go all the way back to whatever old school shampoo you used too
Kimberly Reece yes! I wash my hair with sulfate shampoo then use sulfate free shampoo on the 2nd wash or sulfate shampoo for both washes. I can’t depend on sulfate free shampoo to clean my scalp 😩
I think any sulfate shampoo (that is also silicone-free) will suffice.
Creme of Nature detangling shampoo which they stopped making the original formula because it would’ve put all these other shampoos, hairsprays, conditioners, hair serums, leave-in conditioners, etc..out of business. You only needed that one product which did everything for our hair. Now we have to buy product after product hoping to get the same results...That a $7.99 32 ounce bottle did without the need for anything else which last for months at a time.
Kimberly Reece I wash my hair with Pantene gold shampoo and then wash with Castille liquid peppermint soap to get it squeaky clean from the blue magic build up.
I just went and bought 2 jars of blue magic. The blue n green jars lol Sticking to the old school regimen and my oils.
I love Blue Magic! My favorite is the Indian Hemp. I use either a sulfate shampoo or the tea tree castile soap and I'm good to go!
Does it get your sebum out too. I used sulfates and it got rid of grease but also made my hair weak and dry and brittle and terrible overall. What's the balance.
Sans Nom try an acv rinse or an Aztec clay mask.
Éthérée you might be allergic or sensitive to sulfates! try to just stay away from products that have them. bc i’ve noticed a correlation with how my mama is allergic to sulfates, and can’t use it on her hair, but i’m not allergic to it, but also can’t use it on mine
I notice more naturals going back to grease. Our ancestors used water and grease and still flourished 👍🏽.
Castor oil (after properly moisturizing) works great for me. My tried & true and I always come back to it and olive oil when my hair needs a pick me up through the week. Never had flakes or dry scalp. Doubt you'll see this 😭...but maybe use tea tree oil for the fungus & lavender (to offset the smell & it's antifungal & antibacteral) in water to make a scalp spray..let it sit a few mins then add castor oil on top to seal it in. These ingredients are in my leave in conditioner I make & part of my hair regimen religiously. Grease clogged my pores and is hard to rinse out when I needed to clarify, sometimes smells sour if you dont get it all out or it mixes with sweat 😭 & I got those hard keratin build up bumps around my hairline...before I even went natural. Try the spray with a dab of vegetable glycerin in ir with castor oil for a month and see how it compares to the grease. 🙂
19Honey87 M Our ancestors used natural grease from animal fat, not petroleum (used to make gasoline) or mineral oil (known to clog pores and actually drying to hair).
@@april_dawn true and those who did flourished as well!! But to clarify, I was referring to the late 1800-1900s...like our grand parents, great, and great great grands. Those ancestors (though closer to immediate family so I guess I should have said elders?) They used standard hair grease as well. My grandpa & mom would tell stories about how their grandparents or great grands or other elders used standard hair grease, and sometimes, melted animal fat/crisco/butter, or plain old motor oil/engine grease to slick down their hair and their hair always thrived from that period from the pictures you see. NOT saying it's good to use though lol. I wonder if that's that's why they started adding petrolatum to grease...aka petroleum. Though I know they're different in checmical composition but I wonder if they are derived from the same source because of the hair/engine grease thing they always used to tell me about lol. Personally I prefer castor oil olive oil, and sometimes shea butter when I have it on hand 😆 but I have tried Crisco out of curiosity and it does work LOL more like a moisturizing grease instead of a sealant. Not brave enough to try the hair grease anymore or the motor oil 😆. But our elders would spray their hair with plain old water, plop that grease on and have hair down their backs when they let ot down, or huge fros without all this confusing hair stufd we have now. Hair products today probably just have more chemicals in them now compared to back then, because people are more greedy and adding unnecessary fillers to thin out resources, so I'm not trying to spread misinformation and saying just roll with it. But in the mid to late 1800-1900 they used grease like we did today and their hair still flourished. But the chemicals in grease could be different too. Idk, but it's interesting when you think about it
I would recommend mixing your grease with something like an oil to break up its thickness. I mixed blue magic Indian hemp. Do gro. And wild growth oil into a container. The wild growth help it not be so thick. I’m able to get the grease out in two washes.
I like the thickness. That's what makes grease special.
