    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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 😬

    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 live in Trinidad n Tobago. I went natural 7 years ago...with 3 big chops since. I got caught up in the RUclips natural hair movement of no petroleum no sulphate shsmpoo preepoo, cowash. .,etc etc etc..it has been very very expensive and mind bongling. I threw out all products end of 2019 took hair cut. I now make my hair grease with mostly olive oil castor oil and essential oils just how my mother made it for her girls hair and we all had very long hair past shoulder length back then. Weekly shampoo n conditioner back then was with the prickly pear gel. Now 2020, with my homemade hair grease My hair is now free and growing, and i am stress free. I find the popular imported ones are much too oily for our climate and tends to dry hair, Your expert advise on the need to use sulphate shampoo. Thank you. I gave a massive prickly pear cactus in my front yard and using the gel on natural hair makes it very very soft indeed. What's your take on this ?

    My sister and I are 10yrs apart.. she was home for a funeral.. I noticed that her hair line was receding.. but it was really bad in the temple area.
    I had some Isodine.. put some in the balding areas at the temples.
    She was home about 3-4 weeks... She started getting strands of hair on both sides!
    I told her to get a case of it.. she didn't.. she's not the kind to do that.. and right now her hair line is almost ear to ear.. GONE.
    NOW ME.. I never liked my hair feeling greasy.. but I would oil my scalp a couple of times a month.. and everyday give my hair an excellent hair brushing to distribute the natural oils throughout my hair.
    There was another product called Anzalae.. had bergamot.. other skin healthy ingredients.. it was THICK and heavy so I used just a dab to my scalp and brush well.. my hair went CRAZY..
    I've been looking for it.. can't find it.

    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.

    Hey there, 4c sufferer of seborrheic dermatitis. Visited a dermatologist that diagnosed this. Was given a steroid topical solution as well as a medicated shampoo. I stopped using it all because of how dry dry dry and brittle it made my hair. I've been natural heat treating my hair with a stylist for 2 years every two weeks. I've picked up some length but it will not retain, it breaks and can still be dry but not as dry as before. I've watched several YT influencers and you have been the 1st to say anything about 4c low porosity seborrheic dermatitis hair. I'm at my wits end, and am thinking of going back to my short hair style but I can't because of the seborrheic dermatitis, getting a perm and having that condition is HELL!

    I wish I had discovered grease sooner but I’m glad I did! I grew up on it. But when I became an adult and wanted to go natural I tried to go natural. Being natural has been extremely hard so many downs very few ups. But then I had a daughter and said I need to get it together! One day I decided to go back to my roots BEST DECISION EVER! After shampooing and conditioning going in with grease on my 4c is the BEST THING I COULD HAVE EVER DONE! It made my hair soooo soft! My hair hasn’t felt this moisturized and soft while dry for as long as I can remember. My daughter has beautiful 4c hair, it’s softer than mine. But just like mines after shampoo, conditioning, and oiling (usually with coconut, olive,or avocado or all mixed together) once her hair is dry it feels dry or brittle but you can feel the oil. Like mine it would be impossible to comb without wetting with water and adding leave in. But baby once I added the grease to her routine her hair became soooo soft and as it dried it stayed soft and I could comb through it! Sooo happy I discovered this. Happy that my baby is going to grow up loving her 4c unlike me ❤️ must apply while the hair is wet.

    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.
