"I literally teach hair for a living" that's a plus for me. There's a difference in just talking and actually teaching, just talking means "a paycheck", teaching means "you're educating" .PERIOD! I love your videos.
@@GetGlamFam thought about going back to grease until I look at all the chemicals in it, especially the petroleum. My scalp is dry every 3 days. Why does it dry so fast. I would have to grease of oil the scalp. Then my hair ends up greasy or oily.
I grew up getting my scalp greased and hair “sizzled” every week with blue magic and the pressing comb. 😩. My aunt used to tell me to hold my ear then proceed to burn my hand. 😑
@@GetGlamFam She did wear glasses! Lmao. On a positive note, that hair would stay fried and laid for a week even with taking a bath every night (wasn't no shower back then) Steam be damned, it didn't revert. Probably all that grease.
@@HhHh-cm8xp very only with a scalp massager though trust me completely useless without scalp massager although this response is about 5-6 months late if you decided to do it use a scalp massager electric one not needed also just makes it easier.
I live for hair grease!! I will never give it up again. I hate that I let these RUclipsrs convince me that it was bad for me, smh. It has significantly reduced my breakage and the amount of single strand knots I get.
I had natural hair to my butt when I was younger. I just began using it again after my moisturizer. I have tried all the pricey shea options, online only brands etc. And notice that blue magic keeps my hair moisturized much longer! Going back to the old school
I've noticed that when I twist my hair with water and grease, it retains moisture versus using the many other natural hair products. Thank you for this video
Note to self: Avoid watching Linwood’s videos early in the morning. Nearly woke the house up after literally laughing out loud during the spleen comment 🤣
My son almost had butt length hair. People would ALWAYS ask me "what do you use? Biotin? Hair gummies?" When I tell them "Blue Magic", then they want to go down this rabbit hole on why i need to switch to black products 😂. Water and grease... sticking with it
I say this every where, but as a kid, my mom kept my hair in plaits sealed with grease. Wore that hairstyle for a week, washed and repeat. My hair was tailbone length.
I'm 4c and I use to grease my scalp and hair, but I have gotten away from it for a while and my hair started breaking off, so glad you said it was okay because I had forgotten my routine for awhile and I intend to go back to it.
I've started using it on my ends as a sealant and it's helped with breakage. But I definitely have to use a sulfate shampoo. Edit: I'm also a type 4 natural!
Girl, same. I’m low porosity and after I steam my hair, I use the LCO method, but instead of using oil I use grease. It changed the game. My hair stays moisturized for 4 days. I also use sulfates as well, it seems like my hair flourishes when I break all the natural hair rules😩
@@hayabusahime IKR! I have had to accept that all curls, coils, and kinks behave differently. We started reinventing the wheel and forgot what or grandmothers were able to achieve with our hair. I do like playing with ayurvedic ingredients though lol
Ariel Rouse I do as well. I mix my homemade Ayurvedic oil with my Blue Magic grease. I also mix my powders with my deep conditioners. It has made my hair so much thicker.
In addition to the scalp massage element, grease could be said to 'make hair grow' because it is a super sealant. If hair is properly moisturized and STAYS moisturized then hair breaks less and retains length. So it's not really doing anything for actual growth but it can be a God send for people like myself who have high porosity hair and experience issues with moisture retention and frizz. My hair stays soft longer, as a relaxed girl it keeps my new growth soft and supple, my blow outs and straight styles stay that way until i wash because there's no moisture going in our out after I wash and apply my grease. Oils simply didn't work for me...coconut oil breaks me out horribly. My Blue Magic, Sulphur 8 and Vaseline keep me covered. Plus i can base and cover my ends before a relaxer to prevent run off damage. I have fallen in love with grease all over again
I never heard of single strand knots until I went natural again 7 years ago. As a matter of fact, I've been using these natural haircare lines because of wearing a wash-n-go, which is when I started getting single strand knots. I really believe it's from having the hair out often which cause the curls to wrap around each other. Also, I didn't learn until a few years ago that when wearing a wash-n-go, you need to cowash in between wash days to keep it well hydrated. When coming up most of us didn't have our hair out, it was always braided or twisted and if we had it down, it had been straightened or roller set, hence no knots. Old school worked.
I went through 3 years of being natural trying to seal with oil and my hair was like "Chile Bye!" Hair grease and sulfate shampoo work well for me. I think it is "follow the yellow brick road..." 🤣 Thank you for this video. I have been waiting for your opinion on this subject. Stay safe...
Chile I was ready to say something smart. My hair does so much better and looks so much better when I use grease. I do twists and using grease makes them last so much longer. I can leave them twisted 3 weeks and be fine. My hair loves grease.
I took your advice last year and stopped using grease. I noticed in the Georgia summer heat, my daughter's hair was frying in the sun and my dumb self wondered why! I found your channel and faithfully listened to your knowledge, used the products you use and her hair is growing beautifully! I can't thank you enough! Love you guys! 💋

Thank God! I haven’t watched all of your videos but those that I have watched have been pleasant. I don’t have to listen to a video and be insulted every time a word is spoken, giving me knowledge. Thank you for this informative information, I do appreciate it.
Hey Lin, thanks a lot for telling us what grease is actually for. Some people's scalp got clogged from grease once perms & relaxers got super popular some didn't wash hair timely after that, until we got schooled. Before some people got their hair pressed & curled every two weeks (I did) so even if you were using grease regularly the right or wrong way your hair was washed on schedule. Grease is a a good sealant like some other products as well.
Dont ever worry about "lecturing too much". Everyone here should consider it a blessing to have someone to turn to for information people would have to pay hundreds to learn

You are awesome!! Thank you for clearing this up! I was amazed at some of the stuff that I saw on RUclips! Especially the comments that grease is a moisturizer 🙄! But thank you again for getting us on the right track!
Discovered your channel about a month ago while looking for a hair braiding tutorial and I’ve been watching ever since! Thanks for sharing your years of education with us you’re a breath of fresh air in the sea of confusion they call RUclips. If I have to hear things like all silicones are bad etc. Lawd a mercy anyway thanks I appreciate you!
I used grease when I was young. You know at home, getting my hair straightened at the kitchen stove. From what I can remember and pics from the old days, my hair wasn't too cute. As I got older with Relaxers, I stopped using it. Now natural for 2 1/2 years, I still don't use it and my hair is actually quite beautiful.. Horn tooting😂😂. I used to message early in my nat. hair routine then I stopped. I just started back with the message and I love the way it feels. FYI- You are fab!!!
I have eczema and my dermatologist referred grease to me and it has helped keep my scalp moisturized along with aloe vera. It is dependent on your scalp situation. But grease has it purpose.
Oh definitely! It can absolutely have its benefits, not if you had seborrheic dermatitis it would worsen things. This is why I shared this video, because when people know more, they can do more. 😊🙏🏽❤️
I grew up on water, Ultra Sheen, Sulfur 8 & Pink Lotion. My aunt every 2 week routine was wash with flex shampoo/conditioner, towel dried, palm full of pink lotion & some sulfur 8, twisted and air dried over night, then pressed in the am. Before my aunt started that process my hair was stuck on pause. She DID NOT MASSAGE my scalp unless washing serves as a massage. I started using all these new “ natural products” that all you hair guru’s speak of and my hair went back to pause! I went back to water, moisturizer and grease, my hair started growing again. I think people need to do what works for them. If it don’t apply let it fly. GREASE AND WATER WAS THE STAPLE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAJORITY OF THE GIRLS I GREW UP WITH HAIR WAS SHOULDER - ALMOST WAIST LENGTH. Soooo idk why we stopped a method that worked and started paying all this money for products that’ don’t work as well on type 4 hair for some people.
Great video! I love this channel! I use hair grease as a sealant for my daughter and myself. We have 4c hair and since I started using it I’ve had a much easier time retaining length.
Ok, ok....grease does have some benefits😂🤣! And since I have high porosity hair that loves to take up on itself...I might give that a try! Now that tip for swimming.... that's priceless😉. But hopefully we don't have any pull spills in the Caribbean on spring break from all the greased up sisters....lol!!! But seriously I cannot tell you enough how I appreciate the hair wisdom you share with us. And you bring facts with receipts and some much needed humor. You are so appreciated and loved my friend💞!!!!
I have high porosity hair and hair grease has changed my hair life!!! I use the steps suggested by GlamFam...Clean, moisturize, and seal with grease! Game changer!!
Thank you for sharing, shea butter is a better moisturizer for me, but I also incorporate grease. I use the shea butter at night and the grease during the day. And I wash with a sulfate shampoo.
Dear Linwood, I really appreciate your humor. You always catch me off- guard with your shenanigans & comments. I laugh so loudly that one day my neighbors are going to bang on the walls to tell me to pipe down!!😂😂😂 I live in Spain in an area where there is no one who knows how to do my hair. I would have to travel more than 3-1/2 hours one-way to get my hair done. So, thank you kindly for this & your other professional, wonderfully instructional videos. I know that there are many other non-military sistas living in S.Korea, Japan, Europe, some Latin American countries who have no professionals to do their hair either, so your channel is a life saver. Blessings to you & your sweet family. Barbara🌺✨🎶🎵✨🌺✨✨🎵🎶👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨🌺👑
Good morning, my take away from this is too use a natural oil that will penetrate my hair and scalp for hair nutrient benefits and use the grease for sealing the hair. A clarifying and sulfate free shampoo are needed to properly cleanse hair. Good information, I enjoyed it, and I am glad you broke things down and gave more clarity and you manage to highlight benefits of using hair grease. Sometimes we just need to be re-taught on how to use our hair products. Blessings my Brother.😊🙏
I keep my hair in twists and use petroleum free grease after my water-based moisturizer. My hair holds moisture till wash day. I like grease because a little goes a long way. I don't have to use a sulfate shampoo. 2-3 washes of shampoo and I get lather on the first wash. I wash weekly. My fave greases are from Natural Oasis, G Naturals, and Kemistry Organics.
I know you love us and all but I’m still gonna use my hair grease. It keeps my hair moisturized and growing. I love everything that’s bad for my hair grease, sulfate shampoos, and silicones.
Our ancestors been using hair grease forever, and Annie Malone and Madame CJ Walker got rich off of it. We just have to think of how much of it we use.
Wow you are a genius Linwood. I follow Dr Dray on RUclips she is a dermatologist and she teaches how petrolatum based products are good to prevent water from escaping the skin 😍😍😍 She also talks about how oils are not good for seborrheic dermatitis. You are right on.
In the summer my girls swim all the time. I usually keep their hair braided. I use a leave in conditioner , a good moisturizer and B&B hair grease. I never put it on the scalp more toward the ends. It's the only time I put grease in their hair. I'm doing something right!!
Great video.... just as a medic I want to advice though for seborrheic dermatitis the initial recommendation is to use a comb and gently remove the flakes then use an emollient such as petroleum jelly esp in infants and toddlers with frequent hair washing IF that doesn’t work then you will need medicated shampoos. AND natural oils like olive oil in a study may be an excellent medium for some fungal infection to grow worsening SD. Just wanted to clarify that. Love ur channel just found it 😬
Not all but some hairdressers use such high heat to speed up the service to get as many clients in and out, but not good for health of the hair. Still love my roller wet sets no heat, when time allows ☀️
I'm so glad I came across your video... I have been using grease for about a month. I needed to know if I needed a sulfate based shampoo. You definitely answered it
I love watching your videos! I appreciate the laughs, realness, professionalism and just everything about your delivery as well. 🙂 Thank you for the vital information!
I have 3 curl patterns on my head: 3b, 3c, and 4a it’s a mess out here, but my hair is high porosity. Just got back on diluted leave-in and grease and BAYBEEE, she is hyDRAY-TED. Works on all my curls. Blue Magic for the win. Been spending way too much on these curly miracle brands.
Thanks for setting the record straight Lynnwood!, I needed to know this for some long, we used grease back in the day because that's what we saw, but I stopped using it so many years ago, and visit my stylist regularly for maintenance and to keep it strong and healthy. ✋ 💖
I even had a beautiful Silk Press back in November, unfortunately, my ignorance about the SILICONES used during that process, led to 5 months of horrendous breakage, and bald spots of which I am just now recovering from by The Grace of God, with lots of water, Clarified cleansing, hair masking, deep conditioning, vinegar rinses, leave-in conditioning and--good ole hair grease (LOL) I also contribute a lot of props to Miss Cathy Howse, (Black Hair Care II) the first pioneer of Black Hair Care, citing the lack of MOISTURE as being the Black Woman's long time enemy towards the lack of hair growth and retention. I thank you for your informative videos
Preach on brother! I hear you loud and clear! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE❤❤ I truly hope people are listening. Shampooing (moisture) is the key and grease/oil is a sealant
Everything is not for everyone. Grease make some people hair grow, and some prefer regular liquid oils. Always make sure you use a good shampoo and conditioner. Ty for your videos Linwood.😊
I am absolutely loved this video so unbiased and so informative. Grease is a preference and I have re-discovered it as a sealant but it will not be gracing my scalp, however I have seen the tremendous benefits of applying it to my hair. My hair has always not been a fan of oils as a sealant infact it makes my hair so frizzy so I stopped using most oils expect castor oil only when my hair is soaking wet but in small amounts. Putting grease back into my regime has allowed my hair to actually stay moisturised, less frizzy and more protected and best of all less shedding and breakage which is allowing my hair to grow because its in a cocoon with the leave in applied before the grease and I am not going back. I have managed to refine my haircare routine and my hair is much healthier.
Very informative great video that is what we need STRAIGHT UP EDUCATION YOU DID THAT keep it coming I love your videos and the laughs.Your passion for what do really shines
I love love love your videos. You’re teaching style is extremely edifying. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️🙏🏾 I could listen to you teach all day.
My hair used to eat up grease back in the day as a kid. Now, that I've switched to oils (Coconut, Extra Virgin Olive, Peppermint, etc.) My hair stays moist, soft, and not as tangled as before. As a matter of fact, my hair texture seems to be much softer now than it's ever been in my life! I'm not bashing grease or anyone who still uses it but my hair seems to benefit more from oils and deep conditioning.
I am a licensed cosmetologist as well the information that you put out was so on point really enjoyed your video look forward to seeing more videos from you good job good information
For me...I am done with all these products supposedly good for natural hair. All I know is that my hair is softer and the moisture is locked in with good ole fashioned grease. When I grew up in the 1950s most women used grease and hot combed their hair (not flat iron.) I look at the pictures of women back then...no locs or weaves. Natural hair down the back. And mine was long as well until I started using so called 'better' products for Black hair. So I have gone back to old school. I keep my scalp clean but I spritz with water, grease my hair and twist it up.
I compared my leave in to my blue magic hair grease and...the slip and softness I got when I combined both was much better than using them individually 👌
Thank you for giving a us for informing us (as professional ). It’s no wonder many are using grease. Personally I stop using grease when I stop using a hot comb (our parent never let me and my sister get perm), so I get around 22 years old. Now I return to my natural hair texture. I didn’t we could use grease before going to a pool (I’ll keep it mind). Thanks for another informative video.
"I literally teach hair for a living" that's a plus for me. There's a difference in just talking and actually teaching, just talking means "a paycheck", teaching means "you're educating" .PERIOD! I love your videos.

His hair grows because you use the grease to seal in moisture and leave it alone. Grease doesn’t grow your hair. Hair grows period.

I was distracted by the beautiful grey pieces in your beard. 😝
You are awesome!! Thank you for clearing this up! I was amazed at some of the stuff that I saw on RUclips! Especially the comments that grease is a moisturizer 🙄! But thank you again for getting us on the right track!
My joy! Thanks for watching! ❤️😊
Discovered your channel about a month ago while looking for a hair braiding tutorial and I’ve been watching ever since! Thanks for sharing your years of education with us you’re a breath of fresh air in the sea of confusion they call RUclips. If I have to hear things like all silicones are bad etc. Lawd a mercy anyway thanks I appreciate you!
I used grease when I was young. You know at home, getting my hair straightened at the kitchen stove. From what I can remember and pics from the old days, my hair wasn't too cute. As I got older with Relaxers, I stopped using it. Now natural for 2 1/2 years, I still don't use it and my hair is actually quite beautiful.. Horn tooting😂😂. I used to message early in my nat. hair routine then I stopped. I just started back with the message and I love the way it feels. FYI- You are fab!!!
NaturallyTD - yes honey toot that horn okay
Thank you so very much!! I feel you on boosting up your hair now! 😊🙌🏽 Thanks for watching!
Yelp, grease is only a sealant and not moisturizer
I have eczema and my dermatologist referred grease to me and it has helped keep my scalp moisturized along with aloe vera. It is dependent on your scalp situation. But grease has it purpose.
Oh definitely! It can absolutely have its benefits, not if you had seborrheic dermatitis it would worsen things. This is why I shared this video, because when people know more, they can do more. 😊🙏🏽❤️
I grew up on water, Ultra Sheen, Sulfur 8 & Pink Lotion. My aunt every 2 week routine was wash with flex shampoo/conditioner, towel dried, palm full of pink lotion & some sulfur 8, twisted and air dried over night, then pressed in the am. Before my aunt started that process my hair was stuck on pause. She DID NOT MASSAGE my scalp unless washing serves as a massage. I started using all these new “ natural products” that all you hair guru’s speak of and my hair went back to pause! I went back to water, moisturizer and grease, my hair started growing again. I think people need to do what works for them. If it don’t apply let it fly. GREASE AND WATER WAS THE STAPLE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAJORITY OF THE GIRLS I GREW UP WITH HAIR WAS SHOULDER - ALMOST WAIST LENGTH. Soooo idk why we stopped a method that worked and started paying all this money for products that’ don’t work as well on type 4 hair for some people.
This the one! Hair was down my back in elementary school and now as a grown woman, my hair is half the length that it was back then. Back to Dax I go.
Great video! I love this channel! I use hair grease as a sealant for my daughter and myself. We have 4c hair and since I started using it I’ve had a much easier time retaining length.
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!
I just simply ADORE YOU Linwood.
Your delivery is hilarious. Thanks for making me smile.
My joy! Thanks for watching!
Ok, ok....grease does have some benefits😂🤣! And since I have high porosity hair that loves to take up on itself...I might give that a try! Now that tip for swimming.... that's priceless😉. But hopefully we don't have any pull spills in the Caribbean on spring break from all the greased up sisters....lol!!! But seriously I cannot tell you enough how I appreciate the hair wisdom you share with us. And you bring facts with receipts and some much needed humor. You are so appreciated and loved my friend💞!!!!
Lol not the oil spill!!! 😂😂 thank you boo! I’m glad the video helped!!
I have high porosity hair and hair grease has changed my hair life!!! I use the steps suggested by GlamFam...Clean, moisturize, and seal with grease! Game changer!!
Thank you for sharing, shea butter is a better moisturizer for me, but I also incorporate grease. I use the shea butter at night and the grease during the day. And I wash with a sulfate shampoo.
Dear Linwood,
I really appreciate your humor. You always catch me off- guard with your shenanigans & comments. I laugh so loudly that one day my neighbors are going to bang on the walls to tell me to pipe down!!😂😂😂
I live in Spain in an area where there is no one who knows how to do my hair. I would have to travel more than 3-1/2 hours one-way to get my hair done. So, thank you kindly for this & your other professional, wonderfully instructional videos.
I know that there are many other non-military sistas living in S.Korea, Japan, Europe, some Latin American countries who have no professionals to do their hair either, so your channel is a life saver.
Blessings to you & your sweet family. Barbara🌺✨🎶🎵✨🌺✨✨🎵🎶👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✨🌺👑
You just explained EXACTLY what is happening to my daughter's hair. THANK YOU
My joy! Thanks for watching!
Good morning, my take away from this is too use a natural oil that will penetrate my hair and scalp for hair nutrient benefits and use the grease for sealing the hair. A clarifying and sulfate free shampoo are needed to properly cleanse hair. Good information, I enjoyed it, and I am glad you broke things down and gave more clarity and you manage to highlight benefits of using hair grease. Sometimes we just need to be re-taught on how to use our hair products. Blessings my Brother.😊🙏
I keep my hair in twists and use petroleum free grease after my water-based moisturizer. My hair holds moisture till wash day. I like grease because a little goes a long way. I don't have to use a sulfate shampoo. 2-3 washes of shampoo and I get lather on the first wash. I wash weekly. My fave greases are from Natural Oasis, G Naturals, and Kemistry Organics.
You explained a lot very clearly 🌹
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
I know you love us and all but I’m still gonna use my hair grease. It keeps my hair moisturized and growing. I love everything that’s bad for my hair grease, sulfate shampoos, and silicones.
Our ancestors been using hair grease forever, and Annie Malone and Madame CJ Walker got rich off of it. We just have to think of how much of it we use.
I'm with you. I grease my scalp and it feels so good . I use my sulfate shampoo and mineral oil, petrolatum products. My hair is actually doing better
He wasn't saying not to use hair grease, but rather that people often misinterpret it's benefits and implications
@Felicia Dunn. WTF! He never mentioned Not using it! Glad you Luv Grease.... Eat a batch too and Self Moisturize your lips at the same time! 😆😆😆😆
Felicia Dunn my hair got SIGNIFICANTLY easier to manage when I incorporated grease, sulfates, and silicones☺️
No one has explained this topic
The way you just did and make sense.
Thank you
PREACH! I love me some Linwood! You are a trip with the truth!
Wow you are a genius Linwood. I follow Dr Dray on RUclips she is a dermatologist and she teaches how petrolatum based products are good to prevent water from escaping the skin 😍😍😍 She also talks about how oils are not good for seborrheic dermatitis. You are right on.
Thanks for the feedback and for sharing her channel!! ❤
In the summer my girls swim all the time. I usually keep their hair braided. I use a leave in conditioner , a good moisturizer and B&B hair grease. I never put it on the scalp more toward the ends. It's the only time I put grease in their hair. I'm doing something right!!
We need more people like you! Love it!
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
you are so funny, but a really good informer, I can listen to you the whole day, your videos are so educational.
Great video.... just as a medic I want to advice though for seborrheic dermatitis the initial recommendation is to use a comb and gently remove the flakes then use an emollient such as petroleum jelly esp in infants and toddlers with frequent hair washing IF that doesn’t work then you will need medicated shampoos. AND natural oils like olive oil in a study may be an excellent medium for some fungal infection to grow worsening SD. Just wanted to clarify that. Love ur channel just found it 😬
Hair is not supposed to sizzle. It took be burning/damaging my hair to figure that out
We’ve all been there 😩 but hey once you learn it, it sticks with you!
Not all but some hairdressers use such high heat to speed up the service to get as many clients in and out, but not good for health of the hair. Still love my roller wet sets no heat, when time allows ☀️
I'm so glad I came across your video... I have been using grease for about a month. I needed to know if I needed a sulfate based shampoo. You definitely answered it
I love watching your videos! I appreciate the laughs, realness, professionalism and just everything about your delivery as well. 🙂 Thank you for the vital information!
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Such good info about grease and what it does! I wasnt sure so thank you!!!
My absolute pleasure, Thanks for watching!
Seriously one of the most awesome people I have watched ever when it comes to natural hair this is my first video and I subscribed.
I have 3 curl patterns on my head: 3b, 3c, and 4a it’s a mess out here, but my hair is high porosity. Just got back on diluted leave-in and grease and BAYBEEE, she is hyDRAY-TED. Works on all my curls. Blue Magic for the win. Been spending way too much on these curly miracle brands.
You are so entertaining, informative, engaging, and captivating. ❤
Thanks for setting the record straight Lynnwood!, I needed to know this for some long, we used grease back in the day because that's what we saw, but I stopped using it so many years ago, and visit my stylist regularly for maintenance and to keep it strong and healthy. ✋ 💖
Thanks for setting the facts straight. I'm always learning how you
I even had a beautiful Silk Press back in November, unfortunately, my ignorance about the SILICONES used during that process, led to 5 months of horrendous breakage, and bald spots of which I am just now recovering from by The Grace of God, with lots of water, Clarified cleansing, hair masking,
deep conditioning, vinegar rinses, leave-in conditioning and--good ole hair grease (LOL)
I also contribute a lot of props to Miss Cathy Howse, (Black Hair Care II) the first pioneer of Black Hair Care, citing the lack of MOISTURE as being the Black Woman's long time enemy towards the lack of hair growth and retention. I thank you for your informative videos
Preach on brother! I hear you loud and clear! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE❤❤ I truly hope people are listening. Shampooing (moisture) is the key and grease/oil is a sealant
Thanks love! I appreciate you! 😊😊🙏🏽
Me and my sister had long hair growing up, my mom used grease and pressing comb, works great for 4c hair
Everything is not for everyone. Grease make some people hair grow, and some prefer regular liquid oils. Always make sure you use a good shampoo and conditioner. Ty for your videos Linwood.😊
I am absolutely loved this video so unbiased and so informative. Grease is a preference and I have re-discovered it as a sealant but it will not be gracing my scalp, however I have seen the tremendous benefits of applying it to my hair. My hair has always not been a fan of oils as a sealant infact it makes my hair so frizzy so I stopped using most oils expect castor oil only when my hair is soaking wet but in small amounts.
Putting grease back into my regime has allowed my hair to actually stay moisturised, less frizzy and more protected and best of all less shedding and breakage which is allowing my hair to grow because its in a cocoon with the leave in applied before the grease and I am not going back.
I have managed to refine my haircare routine and my hair is much healthier.
I’m so happy to hear that! That’s fantastic news! Thanks for watching!
Very informative great video that is what we need STRAIGHT UP EDUCATION YOU DID THAT keep it coming I love your videos and the laughs.Your passion for what do really shines
I was looking for a video like this. Thanks so much. I really learn a lot from your videos.❤
I love love love your videos. You’re teaching style is extremely edifying. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️🙏🏾 I could listen to you teach all day.
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Thamks for info... Grease as sealant only. Use on hair before swimming, grease scalp with Shea Buttet or Coconut oil.
Got it . 💕💕💕
Great information. Well delivered. Thank you.. especially coating the hair before swimming
You def helped me out. I was trying to figure out how to seal my moisture better and more long term. The single strand knot tip sold me. Great vid
What works for dry sensitive scalps with allergic reactions to coconut, shea, olive oil, jojoba, tea tree, etc...
My scalp hates hair grease. I’m glad I learned that in my teens. It has saved me a lot of headache.
My hair used to eat up grease back in the day as a kid. Now, that I've switched to oils (Coconut, Extra Virgin Olive, Peppermint, etc.) My hair stays moist, soft, and not as tangled as before. As a matter of fact, my hair texture seems to be much softer now than it's ever been in my life! I'm not bashing grease or anyone who still uses it but my hair seems to benefit more from oils and deep conditioning.
I am a licensed cosmetologist as well the information that you put out was so on point really enjoyed your video look forward to seeing more videos from you good job good information
Thanks so much fam!! ❤
I like using grease on my 4c,d,e,f, g ends but not throughout my whole head, it helps with less breakage and manageability for me... Thanks Linwood😘!
My 4 a/b loves hair grease for moisture retention (sealant). I use it every day out of the shower after I wet my ahir.
Good morning I have a question for you how can I keep lint in my hair
I had to come back to these videos because you give such amazing info. Praying you are well. Sending love
For me...I am done with all these products supposedly good for natural hair. All I know is that my hair is softer and the moisture is locked in with good ole fashioned grease. When I grew up in the 1950s most women used grease and hot combed their hair (not flat iron.) I look at the pictures of women back then...no locs or weaves. Natural hair down the back. And mine was long as well until I started using so called 'better' products for Black hair. So I have gone back to old school. I keep my scalp clean but I spritz with water, grease my hair and twist it up.
I compared my leave in to my blue magic hair grease and...the slip and softness I got when I combined both was much better than using them individually 👌
Yes, I either use alikay leave in or briogeo leave in with a grease and works wonders. Hair stays moisturized for days.
I learn so much from your videos, love the knowledge you share, and will take better care of my hair. Thanks Linwood.
Thank you for giving a us for informing us (as professional ). It’s no wonder many are using grease. Personally I stop using grease when I stop using a hot comb (our parent never let me and my sister get perm), so I get around 22 years old. Now I return to my natural hair texture. I didn’t we could use grease before going to a pool (I’ll keep it mind). Thanks for another informative video.
I Love This. Speak the truth!!!
Also, love the new screen animations and notes.
Thanks so very much!! 😊❤️
