For dandruff use a ginger shampoo. Or make ginger juice using the root and spray on your scalp every washday. Problem solved😊
OOOH I still modernize and love a good condition but for my scape hello. Hair Grease I guess we all that wear it for the same reason to stop my scape from itching. And it works all the time it's a must a staple for my hair but me I gotta have both water a brush and my hair grease then almost anyone can comb my hair
Angela Brookins oh okay girl. I was not saying leave grease or don’t condition your hair and scalp. I was just suggesting that if you want you dandruff to pack and go. Use ginger when you wash your hair. Free advice
i have been doing my hair for more than a year and if i loose it looks like is not growing what should I do
@@patriciaoyogoa8199 your hair is growing...It's breaking as well. I would suggest you look into length retention information.

Exactly
Raw shea butter
Olive/coconut oil unrefined raw. Mineral oil and petroleum clogs pores

OMG! Your hair is gorg! ❤
Thank you! The shirt is from @jamilajafar_ on Instagram!
EfikZara thank you!
Everyone’s hair grows, otherwise there’d be no need for touch ups (with relaxed hair). The real issue is retention.
Right, it's that some hair types are more susceptible to breakage than others
Right. Once you learn to protect the ends u will se growth. Hair breaks and splits from the end. Not the roots. To retain LENGTH, PROTECT THE ENDS!

Better to go back to grease than the relaxer😁 ..Not that if you want to relax it's bad...I say "to each it's own"...But NO relaxer for this head😉
@@rdejlee9288 FACTS❗
We have to have more videos and talks about young ladies that work in places where they can't have they hear out yes it is a law that said that we cannot be fired for wearing our natural hair but I think that wearing our natural hair in a neat way not the way you have your hair on this video but remember that there are so many people that really don't understand I mean I don't care what race you are what type of hair you have if you worked on certain jobs that you shouldn't have your hair flying all over your head then do so have your hair neatly combed a braided or however it makes you look neat those are the videos that we have to have because women are out working now and they have to realize maybe because they have a lot of hair that have thick hair that you have to learn how to have a style that will go with your job and I don't think that is wrong for you to have a style that is appropriate for your job and I've been working for a long time and I had to have here or hairstyle that is appropriate with my job I have wolves or working Food Service I can't have an afro like that and work in food service
I never stopped using hair greese no matter what the natural hair community said.
How do it work for you and what do u do with it I think I wanna try
Me too Blue magic
I stopped using it because it would weigh my hair down and just sits on top of my scalp

@@saraiwallace78Sulfate shampoos are ok. If you use the shampoos that are heavily promoted, you won't ever clean well. The products that clean our hair well can handle grease. Grease holds moisture for long periods. That's good for our dry hair. Just use the correct cleanser and ADEQUATE AMOUT OF GREASE and you should be good.
They should use your voice for ads , very beautiful!
No! She does not have the voice for that.
Michelle neither do you apparently
Calico Cat how would you know
@@naiyma2561 how wouldn’t you?
Your picture is so pretty btw
My hair started growing like crazy after saturating it with plain old water and sealing it with Vaseline.
Mary Zawjatul Abdullah Khalid how often do you wash it? Also do you grease your scalp with it?
What's your hair regimen? Do you use a sulfate shampoo to get rid of the product buildup?
Penelope416 I know a few of RUclipsrs on here use this method and wash with vo5 shampoo braid their hair up for a month and hair grew like crazy
@@shaunehemphill3259 like who?
@@Penelope416 I do you sulfate shampoo to get rid of the product amd my hair is in the middle of my back when wet.
As soon as you denounced co washing I knew you were my kind of person. I tell people it’s like putting on lotion before showering 😂
As told by Asévia❣️ Lol YES
how?
More like substituting bodywash with lotion
lollll
but there are cleansing cowashes though
i just started using hair grease again early october and i fell in love with it. all through my highschool years i wondered why my hair was breaking and not nearly as healthy as it was when we were all kids, and i traced it all back to grease. it only makes sense. now i only use grease and water, no more spending money on a bunch of products only because these gurus told me to
You are so rite. I remember using hair grease on my older daughter hair when she was younger and it grows so much. And sulfate shampoo too. And with me youngest daughter I only use natural products and her hair barely grows
@@barbarahylton97 back in the day our parents just put the grease in our hair and that was it, grease is a sealant so you have to moisturize the hair and then seal it with grease, I use grease to seal and my hair loves it. them kitchen oils don't work!
i use an essential oil with a non comedogenic oil on my scalp , aloe vera to moisturise , petroleum jelly as a sealant , shampoo , condition 1x a week . clarifying shampoo 1x month . And I'm a happy happy girl

My secret hacks are softee hair grease, I LOVE the mango butter one and the Indian hemp one. Also I do a Vick's vapor rub hot oil treatment with Jamaican black castor oil and olive oil once a month and I promise you IT WORKS! I also do rice water rinses and black tea rinses every so often. My hair has began to FLOURISH.
Yoooo this is so helpful!! Thank you for sharing!
The mango one has such good ingredients! I was just talking to my sister about it yesterday 😂
!
The Vick’s and black rice water is the truth! I might look into trying some hair grease I find from Walmart and experiment a bit!
Hey sis, how do you mix the Vicks and castor oil and apply it?
SOOOO funny!! I prayed for my hair to grow this week. lol. "and thank you God that my hair is growing healthy and abundantly thick ALL the way down my back. Amen, Ase' , And so it is." I JUST SAID IT!
my daughter had a bad scalp condition an I used sulfur 8 to heal and maintain the health of her scalp. she is an adult now with a normal healthy scalp. I tried to return to grease but my skin reacted badly. everyone is unique!
Was it flaking of the scalp that looks like bad dandruff?
This is true. Happy your daughter's hair grew back
by lyn I’m glad your daughter scalp is better 💖💖
The power of speech is true. I speak to my hair everyday. 😄 I'm seeing it. I wanted her strong, luscious and thick. She's showing signs of that after 1 year post big chop. ☺️🖤
Heyy fellow Ghanian 🙋🏾♀️🇬🇭
@@ItsNessaTho Hello Vanessa 🤗
I shaved my head off when my baby was 4. At the time, we used to do words of affirmation each morning. She started doing words of affirmation on my hair 😂😂 It grew back quick, thanks to my baby's powerful words

Please what's the leave in conditioner you use?
you have a beautiful head of hair but you can't really tell or I can't really tell because it's just an afro I am a natural girl I have for a be here I keep my hair either braided or as far down on my shoulder or back as I possibly can I work in the medical field and I couldn't go to my job with a head full of hair like yours all over my head where would I you know it just wouldn't be sanitary when I say not sanitary I don't mean that I don't wash my hair it wouldn't be sanitary to the patients a doctor is doing maybe a procedure on a patient and he finds my hair oh he finds a piece of hair and the first thing they're going to look at me because I have a head full of Afro hair all big and poofy we have to realize that yes I will hair grows from our scalp like that but we cannot go out to some of our jobs especially in the medical field and have a whole lot of poofy afro afro hair so we have to understand yes we have a right to where I would hear the way it grows from our scalp but in a neat way and yes again I say I am a natural girl I use henna I use all the things just about that you are speaking of but I do work and in medical you cannot have all that here over your head it's not realistic

All I use is blue magic and rice water. My hair is growing really strong.
I absolutely love grease, I love blue magic Indian hemp, as well as African pride grease. I don't really care if my shampoo has sulfate in it or not. If it cleans my hair I don't really care 🤷🏾♀️😂
I use that blue magic aswell I thought it was just me 😭😭 it smells sooo good
Your hair is powerful❤️.Jesus is Lord🙏🏽

Alright this year in 2020 I’m going to use grease again..I just found some blue magic coconut oil in my bathroom lol ......let the games begin!!!🥳😂
Update?
Update?
Yes we need an updateee???
Update!!!!!??,?
Updateeee??????!!!!
Girl that intro was everything!!! Grease has totally transformed for hair for the better! When I was a kid my hair was down my back & Blue Magic was all my mother used! My hair is flourishing because of it! Awesome video. 💖
When that blue magic dropped I said “subscribe”. The basics will always work!
Same lol
The intro reminded me of all the products I used in my childhood
Blue magic!! i used to use this product in secondary school!!!! its soo old school until people started saying that jellies were bad for your hair. Thanks for the insight.
Ahahaha it’s my pleasure and I’m glad this vid helped! Grease has changed my hair for the BETTER! 😭❤️
@@EfikZara i believe you.. cause i remember my hair being less dry and brittle. i'm off to the market tomorrow for some blue magic loool.
that is a whole lot of hair OMG girl needs to get in the Guinness book of world records for the biggest afro.
baby bling um no Amara la negra Afro is way bigger
@mariechannel10 sorry to burst your bubble but that is a weave....her own mother is a hair stylist and puts it in for her....look it up
Reneshaw Greaves her natural hair could achieve this fro just as well.
@@mariechannel10 amara has add on so no she's not even close, but we do have many black girls with real big fro.
I KNEW IT!!!! Grew up using blue magic and ultra sheen my whole life and my hair was growing, not damaged....the minute I stopped.... BALD...like literally!!!! My hair stays dried and breaking off. Thank you for sharing.
EfikZara: Hair Grease
Me: *like*
As soon as she said hair grease, I immediately liked the video.
Kat Natural Ahahahaha!! Thank you 🤣🥰
Me to
I've been using hair grease all my life and that's what got me long thick healthy hair nothing's better than hair grease
Grease: I use virgin hair fertilizer sometimes (like once or twice a month). Otherwise I use my own infused oil.
Scalp: super healthy. Use fingers to exfoliate scalp when washing; occasionally use my battery operated scalp massager during the week.
Shampoo: homemade African black soap shampoo. Scalp and hair love it. I can even detangle with it. I also clay wash--i alternate using shampoo or clay wash according to how the hurr is looking/feeling.
P.S. I'm a henna girl too! I do a full treatment once every 4-8 weeks, and glosses in between when the mood strikes. Black rice water too!
Just K Team Henna Head 🙋🏾♀️ I need to color these greys next time I do my hair
I do henna too. And black rice water
Just K I used to use virgin hair fertilizer! My aunt bought 3 boxes of those in Africa and I don’t even use it because I’m afraid of getting breakage again urghh
All the above except black rice water.
I don’t use grease because I don’t use any sealant really. When my hair dries out I hop in the shower. I use ACV as a detangler and then follow up with conditioner and style my hair wet and t-shirt dry overnight.
Every weekend I clarify with castle soap. Technically sulfate-free but it cleans like a sulfate-I like a clean slate to work with.
Because I wet my hair so often (even when i protective style), my scalp is really balanced. I haven’t had dandruff since going natural.
cowash is a no! i don't understand people that do that trash! its like using moisturizer to bath. i use sulfate and sulfate free. and i use a scalp brush
Ikr..I did cowash once and didn't like it..doesn't make sense.
Well everyone's hair is different so of course u might not understand. There are cleansing co-washes that work great.
I use a cowash and a sulphate shampoo and my hair is thriving.
When my hair is in twists i use a cowash to prevent frizz then i use a sulphate shampoo to clarify once every month.
To each thier own
I use grease anytime I do a long term protective style. It helps with frizz for me and locks in moisture. Some people may not experience this but that doesn’t mean that everyone should stay away! Everyone has different hair and you should do what helps you, not what helps someone else x
I knew she was Nigerian! Her accent was mixed with the Nigerian-American accent I'm your new subbie!
I use a shampoo with sulfate to remove grease and oil. I also believe that grease is very helpful when trying to keep moisture for longer periods of time.And my scalp is dry and prone to dandraft .
I have been trying since I was a child to grow my hair my mum didn’t know how to look after Afro hair because she had always had her hair relaxed in Jamaica before she moved to Britain so I’m just like 🙃
I like hair grease but I don't use it as regularly as I should
I never stopped using shampoos. I need to see suds and feel the squeaky clean feeling.
My scalp is dry and sometimes itchy. I'm interested in growing my hair which is what led me to your channel! That afro is everything. I'm muslim so I cover my hair which means I don't wear afros on a regular basis but I do wear twists a lot.
Definitely “death and life is in the power of the tongue .”
Yea I've been natural for almost 3 years, but so far my hair is ALWAYS dry and most of the products recommended now never work. So imma just try blue magic and realllyyy hope it works for me.
Now I get why my hair still feels greasy after washing. I use a clarifying shampoo now and it's better. Suave. I appreciate these well researched videos cuz my hair started falling out after it got longer and thicker because I wasn't oiling my scalp and the liquid oils weren't doing it. Now it's a couple inches from shoulder length with only a slight backlash from halo breakage. It's just hair I can grow it back! Thanks again
Hair grease is the bomb. I got caught up in the hype but am back.
I use Murray’s beeswax to seal my hair. It’s been over a week and my hair is STILL moisturized!
I have this at home I will give it a try.
Yeah I use water, leave in and mango butter; then I seal it with the beeswax. It sounds like a lot, but my hair stays moisturized for a long time
1. I literally have grown up with hair grease and my hair was softer and grew when I used it.
2. I use a sulfate-free shampoo because that's what I told to do by the insta naturals...
I use hair grease and my hair is thriving. I also use sulfate shampoo cause the sulfate free shampoo was causing itchiness and stunting my growth. My scalp is healthier since using sulfate shampoo and taking supplement vitamins
Blue magic is really great helped my hair retain alot of moisture
1.stay hydrated watch what you drink.
2.oil your hair and don’t let anyone touch
3.let your hair grow
4.put your hair in protecting styles
5.thread your hair for growth
Grease is really good but some of them smell too industrial (royal crown). I also can't apply it to my scalp because it makes it dirty more quickly and traps all kinds of lint and all that.
I love the blue magic castor oil 😍😍 and the sulfur 8 is LOVE!!!
1. I don’t use hair grease since being natural, it itches the heck outta my scalp!
2. I use a sulfate free shampoo - she’s moisture African black soap line
3. I have very sensitive scalp so I can’t just use anything on it or in my hair 🤦🏽♀️
Yes show us your modified hair braid and tuck version 😊
You deserve more subscribers! This is my first video but I am in love with you!
Awwwwww amen and thank you so much!!
Hair grese:👌
Shampoo: sulfate (I wear braids for 1 1/2 months and when I remove them my scalp need to be CLEAN)
My scalp: healthy and luxuriant. I keep it healthy by following a simple routine and keeping my hands out if my hair
MY MOM USED DAX ON MY HAIR SINCE I WAS A BABY...AND I STILL IT THE DAX INDIAN HEMP
I'm so in love with this channel simply because you promote hair grease. I keep telling these other 4c naturals that grease is necessary and they look at me like i'm crazy.. but my stay moist with my lil grease tho so oh well🤷🏾♀️
Every one has what works for them I find that cowashing does not dry my hair out and my hair still feels clean without shampooing
Blue Magic All Day!!! ✊🏾💪🏾 My grandmother stoped perming her hair about four years ago and her hair is at bra strap length. I’m trying to catch up to her. Grandmother also uses gelatin for a protein treatment in her hair. I’m not sure if gelatin is vegan or not. It’s probably not. 😂
Yes!!! Please do a braid pattern tutorial. So I can wear my wigs again.
Thanks for the info, never heard of gelatin for hair. How did your grandma use it? What is the name of the gelatin? Thank you
deseandote1 My grandmother uses the Knox or Royal brand of plain gelatin powder. She boils it and let’s cool down some and applys it to her hair. Put the plastic bag for 30 min to an hour and rinse out followed by a deep conditioning treatment. (Gelatin has protein in it) I guess she uses it for a protein treatment. She is 80 years old. I guess it’s an old school treatment because I don’t hear or see about anyone in my age group doing this. 😂🤷🏾♀️
Awesome.... Thank you very much. We all can learn from old school...old school are The best in my opinion.
My grandmother did this as well for hair and nail treatments. She used unflavored Knox
Gelatin is from pigs
Sis, you’re breathtaking 😍. That is all 💕
Thank yooooou!! 🙈❤️
I've been natural for almost 14 years and no shampoo cleanses my scalp better than Nizoral. I have SD, and I've used it since my hair was relaxed. I also like using clay mixed with strongly brewed hibiscus tea. Both methods keep my scalp calm. I don't use a lot of products in my hair because of my scalp and because I'm cheap. Medicated shampoo/clay & tea, deep conditioner, water, shea butter or grease (depending on which I have in the house) make up my entire stash. I know this works for me because I've grown my hair to hip length before I cut it off a couple of years ago. It's back to bra strap length now. My scalp likes to be stripped and my hair likes to be left alone. So I try to stay consistent with that.
Thanks for sharing and you are so right about hair grease (Blue Magic). This has been my second big chop within 4 years and the answer had been in my face. I have tried everything from black rice water too onion juice, which both work, but if you don't have the right sealant you can kiss length retention goodbye. Went back to my childhood basic with my very sensitive scalp and it's a whole new game. Once I embraced the hair I was horned with I started to see changes very fast. Ladies your hair really is your crown and glory and you should treat it as so. For the ones who know that you hair don't care for daily malpication, try wearing wigs to change up your look your hair will thank you. When I started my natural hair jounary I was not mentally or emotionally perpared, but I'm a quick learner. You will get to know you better or meet yourself for the first time.😃. Either way I wish you the best on your jounary.Be blessed.
I just got back on sulfur 8 this summer after too much braiding. So glad & my scalp is in heaven.
I agree. As a kid it was so simple..hair grease and water!
Girl you ain't never lied!!! Ever since I switched back to GREASE, my hair is FLOURISHING 😍😍😍😍I ain't NEVER going back lolol
Girl I love hair grease. I use a tiny lil bit of it when I need my hair to stay stretched and I have no problems. I have a sensitive scalp so I don't leave any products on it. I also use a scalp scrub
I do cowash and there are cowashes that have cleansing agents. But I dont cowash exclusively. I make sure to clarify 1ce/2ce a month. I cowash either weekly or 2ce a week
My scalp is sensitive and tender I had a lot of hair breakage, and split ends I just dont know what to do about. I like grease but since I cannot wash my hair all d time I reduce grease a lot
Your hair has obviously grown. Welldone, nice one.
I knew grease wasn’t bad that stuff made my hair flourish I’m using it from now on
Can you do a video on your regime, including hair grease?
Rashida M Yes, cuz I haven’t used it in so long that I wouldn’t know how to!
EXACTLY, IT IS NOT A BIG MONEY MAKER, THE LARGER, FAMOUS COMPANIES DON'T WANT YOU TO USE CHEAP GREASE..
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR...
I liked the video before watching it because you're just so pretty! Augh 😩
Your hair is beautiful and healthy looking . I started back using hair grease on my hair and it is working. Thanks for clearing up that myth.😄
I automatically subscribed when you said you were vegan. 😊 I like Vega one too but I use the chocolate one and I put peanut butter in it, omg so good
Not even 1 minute into your video I gave a thumbs up on presentation 💯.. watching full video now to make discussion on subscription
Idk, I notice that hair grease dries my hair out and makes my scalp very itchy, and when I try to detangle with spraying water after a couple days, a lot of hair ends up on the comb. Only heavy hair creams or butters work for me and detangling under running water reduces hair breakage.
Same with me. It makes my hair super dry and REAL itchy. grease clearly doesn't work for everyone
U could just use whatever product u think is best for you. u don't have to use those products .u know .as long as it works for you ☺️.we all are different
Girl when you said positive affirmations 😭😭. I’m subscribing now
literally use sulfur 8 original and mix it with some doo grow extra thick or long and watch your hair grow dark long and thick
Does it really work, I just purchased that combo
Thank you for this video! You are speaking so many truths!!!! From hair grease to positive affirmations, all these things ring true.
Ps. Just on the tail end of a three month cornrow challenge!! Approximately a week left.. I cannot wait to unveil the glory that awaits me. During this challenge, I have done a weekly oil treatment (and towards the second half of the challenge done a few DCs as well.) Just super excited. It's been a fun process!!
Sometimes I use sulphate shampoo when I feel my scalp needs a good wash and make sure I use a sulphate free conditioner and moisturize well.
What leave-in do you use?

Yes I would love to see a supplement video on everything you take!! I'm plant based as well and need all the tips I can get. Your hair and skin are flourishing 😍💜
And I'm definitely going to start using a scalp scrub. I also have a sensitive scalp 😩😭
I have a Jar of Blue Magic and trends natural therapy hair grease. I use a more natural moisturizer (Camille Rose Moisture Milk/ Mois. Curl Activating Cream) under the grease and my hair stays moisturized for days.
I just greased my scalp last night AND I use sulfate shampoos! 🤣
Hair Grease Decision:
I grew tired of oils running from my scalp and down my already oily face. NOTE: Wild Growth Oil doesn’t run, but I only use this for scalp massages now.
Sulfate Shampoo:
My scalp felt cleaner to me after using a sulfate shampoo. My hair is flourishing, so these decisions are best for me. LOVE the positive affirmations tip! You cannot pray for longer, healthier hair in one breath and speak death to your hair in the next breath: “My hair is healthy and grows quickly!”
Hey! I just have a question, did wild growth oil give you headaches or any other side effects? I REALLY want to try it but I've heard about side effects and I already suffer from migraines.
Naptually Beautiful Hi! Wild Growth Oil did not cause headaches for me (maybe the smell caused people to have headaches, but I actually like the medicinal smell). The only side effect that I can agree with is the itchy scalp. This didn’t occur for me the first month of use, but did occur the second month of use for about two weeks then subsided. Follow the instructions on the bottle (some people are extra-always doing everything outside of the directions). Good luck!
Love you to LIFE. 😁
Ive used vitamin e oil..and saturate my hair and scalp with water and then use cream of nature argon hair grease and my hair grew like crazy..old school is the best way to me
I like grease but....certain greases irritate my scalp. Lool my scalp is dry dryyyy it sucks oils like nothing and ya I do use sulfate shampoos and bentonite clay as well.
I learned the hard way that I need a sulfate shampoo even though they strip your hair of all moisture but it really does a good job of removing buildup and dirt. So I use it once every month.
I'm just watching because you have awesome hair. I won't use hair grease because my hair is fine 4a and grease and I have never been friends. But I've always felt that it should work to seal the ends.
I oil massage my scalp with Babassu/coconut oil mixture daily. Conditioner is for hair not the scalp. I also moisturize everyday (aloe vera juice) if I do wash-in-go because I'm high porosity. If I do a blow-out then just twice a week.
Love your hair and never thought about using a toothbrush to help with exfoliating my scalp. I'm going to try using a toothbrush on my scalp with exfoliating.🤗
If I’m doing twist outs or something like that, I will use my homemade hair oil as opposed to grease so my hair isn’t weighed down. For protective styles like braids, grease is the way to go. Grease your scalp, but you also need to clean your scalp biweekly at least in my opinion (I do weekly but I have sensitive scalp)
Do you mind sharing where you got that shirt from? It's sooo cute 😍 and your hair is literally my goal ! So beautiful 👌🏿❤
It’s unreleased but it will be available soon! It’s from @jamilajafar_
Your hair AMAZING! Also, going back to the basics is KEY to healthy natural hair.
Ooo I would definitely love to see your cornrow routine!!
Blue magic is the best hair grease great video
Are your eyes naturally grey/blue? They're gorgeous contrasted against your skintone!
Yes words HAVE power!!
Speak it into existence.
Amen.
What you dwell on YOU become. 🙌🏾
Great video! I would like to see your cornrow pattern. How long do you leave in your braids? I protective style 100% of the time. I workout 5 days a week and gym sweat hair is the worst to manage. I take down my rows for my weekly shampoo and d/c and blow dry stretch and braid it up again.
If you gym everyday you should be rinsing your hair with hair after each session at least. Sweat will dry out your hair along with your "protective style".
Bless you. Love your affirmations. Sometime we just need to be reminded that God cares about everything that affects us.
Yes girl tell us that braid pattern!!!
I’ve always use Sulfur 8 on my edges and it works well for me ;Also you’re our hair is absolutely gorgeous 🌺
A video on your Cornrows pattern would be great
I alternate between clay washes and a swimmers shampoo to get hard water, chlorine and salt off my scalp and hair. I live in Arizona....so I have extremely hard water with lots of chlorine in it. Also, the air is extremely dry 98% of the year(0 to 5% moisture in the air). Even though there is Monsoon season(3 days to 2 weeks......if we're lucky), it does not make up for the extreme dryness from the rest of the year. I'm not even going to mention 117 degree weather in the summer months and the serious need for sunblock to protect your skin.....yeah! Anyway, when I clay wash, I use a moisturizing conditioner after. When I shampoo, I use a protein/moisturizing conditioner afterwards. I don't oil my scalp because it will get itchy and inflamed.
I live in Arizona too so I know exactly what your talking about. I think ima get a shower filter to help with the hard water we have
I love hair grease though, I feel it keeps my style better😁... my is prone to dryness (high porosity) because of this, I use a sulphate free shampoo (a year now) but, I used to use sulphate shampoo. I changed it just for moisture retention...
I feel you! Sulphates STRIP but I love my sulfates at this point 😂❤️. Maybe I should experiment with Castile soap?? I used to use that exclusively.
@@EfikZara I bought one ( Dr. Jacob's Castile soap with charcoal) for my skin but, I also want to try it on my hair... 😁 I am with you on that. Thanks for your updates😘💕
Back in the day my gran used to sit me down between her legs & grease my hair with blue magic I've got grandkids now & doing it now to them.
Hair grease is the best thing for natural 4c hair in fact for all type hair just use less for finer,
Love your channel beautiful lady🤗
I’m going back to hair grease. Thank you for sharing beautiful! By the way, love the blouse can you share where you purchased it?
