    I wanted to record this vlog explaining why I sometimes use products that contain mineral oil and or petroleum on my natural hair.
    I have used different products containing these ingredients such as the
    Blue Magic Hair Grease
    and the
    Lusti Naturals Argan Oil Leave In
    I just wanted to explain my view and opinion on the subject so my viewers/ subscribers will know where I stand on it and my reasons for using them:)

      Donna Chesser I swear I'm so happy to see this. Truth be told these new natural brands don't do didly squat for me. It'll be moistured for a day and the next day not so much. When I use products with mineral oil though, moisture lasts for days and feels strong. This is what we grew up on so why have we been made to think ewwww sister don't use that when that's what worked for us back then, our mamas weren't stupid

    I'm from Trinidad in the West Indies.Growing up my mom would use grease in my hair.I had long healthy hair.She would make home made grease, using petroleum and adding different oils to it.We and when I say we I mean West Indian women and men were using grease in their hair and no one had a problem with it.Be it home made or store bought that was the staple product for natrual hair.The multiude of hair products on the market today was not in such abundance back in the day.If you wanted a nice head of bouncy curls....grease and water... nothing else was needed.So now when I see all the supposed negatives regarding petroleum and mineral oil, I simply say to myself, to each his own.There is a local song with the words "bring back the old time days".Very good vlog by the way.

      I'm from Trinidad as well and my mom did the same thing; vaseline/bergamot/dax/ultra sheen and oils mixed till the vaseline was almost liquidy .....we did not use a lot and did not use it every day .....AND we washed our hair every Sunday evening.....we had long (past the shoulder blade) soft , healthy hair that everyone admired. I recently started using this mixture on my girls' hair (theirs are relaxed) and their hair condition improved greatly....no more breakage, long, thick and luxurious.

    I've been natural for 5 years and have tried many different products and various oils (jojoba, castor, EVOO, coconut) on my 4C hair. I felt like these oils were too lite for my hair. They all left my hair feeling dry and brittle. I know my hair has been growing, however the shedding and breaking has kept me from retaining all of the hair I've grown over the years, even though I wear protective styles 90% of the time. 4 months ago I decided to try something heavier on my hair so I used some soft sheen grease and let me tell you, my hair LOVES this stuff!! It's soft, moisturized, a lot more manageable, and does not frizz up. And, I have seen noticeable hair growth in that short period of time. Plus, I've had my best braid outs ever with grease. Its made me a believer, so Im sticking with it. Thank you for making this video!

    I think we all called it "greasing your scalp"! (Lol) But I remember going back to natural earlier this year and not knowing much, so I just styled with grease. (Had pretty quick hair growth btw) But it slowed down when I started collecting all these products and learning that grease was "the hair devil". Last month I thought about it though, if it worked then, why not now? So I gladly went back and noticed change, and this just affirms that.

I even used grease one time for an entire year and my hair went from shoulder to waist length in 10 months. When I heard it is not healthy when my greases were finished I did not purchase a new bottle. Im going back to grease. Thank you so so so much for this. You took a weight off my chest.

      In the Caribbean where I am from Yes my hair grows super fast. I think its the humidity because It still does not grow that fast in Europe. When I went back home on vacation my hair grew 2 inches in 6 weeks. I am back in France now and it does not grow that fast or at least I do not retain the length as much I should say. Still try it sometimes. It works really well for locking moisture in. I do not leave it in for long protective styles though

Now, at 42, Im back to using grease. My hair LOVES grease. Within 28 days of using it, my thinning hair filled in and now Im seeing length retention. I WILL have my hair back again, and I will be using grease to get there. I went back to what WORKS👏👏👏

    I totally agree. My mom used grease in my hair as a young girl and my hair grew without breakage issues. Everyone's hair is different. It really depends on your styling preferences. It will weigh the hair down if too much is applied, but for those that don't mind that, it can be a great moisturizer. And as with any styling/moisterizing product, the scalp should be cleaned on a regular basis. So, in my opinion, thumbs up to Blue Magic!

I think these hair products companies debunked what really works for our kinks so as to break our pockets. Not worth it.

I use water first then grease and my hair is thriving. but grease might not work for everyone. coconut oil drys my hair out as does most light oils.

    I love your story! I can definitely relate. I've been using shea butter products and "essential oils to grow my natural hair. Then I started to think about when my hair grew in the past. I used Blue Magic, Hair Food grease, etc. I said to myself that is what's missing. My hair is dry and needs lots of moisture. My scalp isn't getting enough moisture. So I purchased some hair food grease because I remember when I wasn't even as knowledgeable as I am now, my grew like crazy by using this product and others like it. Thank you. I will still use the other products but keep my scalp grease with the hair food grease.

It's not a heavy grease like some of the others on the market so that's why I like it because I have fine hair that gets weighed down easily.

    My mom uses that same hair oil on my hair.
    If I don't use it my hair feels dry and brittle . I don't know why its been labelled as bad for hair.
    Because my hair thrives with it.
    It feels soft when I use it

    Thank God I am not alone. I gave up using mineral oil since June of this year as I was encouraged by one of my friends to try the Lorraine Massey Curly Girl Method which of course have an SOP of avoiding petroleum and mineral oil. I used to have hair that everyone liked until this year, a lot of people have been telling me that my hair does not look the same anymore. :'( There's really no "one size fits all" when it comes to curly hair. And I'm certainly going back to my mineral oil. Great vid btw, just subbed :)

    Rose water glycerin spray ...seal with Blue Magic. It works. Tired of all the expensive “natural” products, and negative talk about good ole’ “grease.” I tried the natural oils and all...my hair was so dry no matter what... went back to “grease” I’m happy ...my hair is soft like it was when I was a little girl. Do what works for you.

    I have not used grease in many many years but a few weeks ago I thought about it. I have been natural for 3 year now and my hair is extremely dry so I will be trying Blue Magic starting this weekend. I was looking for reviews on RUclips and discovered your channel and that is why I decided on the Blue Magic. Thanks for the info.

I now use my own DIY mixture but I am going back to BB because it is cheaper and I was using it when my hair started growing. I am 4c and my hair is like a sponge but the grease is low maintenance.

    I remember my mom using grease in my hair when i was younger and my hair was to my butt until i started doing it at 16. I took grease out of my regime and that is when my hair broke off badly. Now for the first time in years i have natural hair again (9 months of growth that looks like a year worth of growth). And the same texture of hair as yours. I used only a tiny finger tip full and my hair responds nicely. I still use olive oil more often than grease. I just don't put it on my scalp. That is when it becomes bad. Because the grease blocks you scalp from getting moisture and oxygen into it. But its okay to put it on your hair just not the scalp.

    I have been listening to people say don't use hair grease on my hair and I have mainly just been using oils on my hair it grew then it just stopped but since I started using blue magic again my hair has gotten alot thicker it doesn't dry like it use to quickly with the oils and also it has gotten longer with just a few weeks of using it again its crazy. I dont use it on my scalp I still use leave in conditioner for my scalp but I use the blue magic on my hair and also some water works great for me.

So you made my decision to use grease again. Thank you

    Thanks for sharing this! Girl, yes you know the 'natural hair police' have things to say, but do whatever works for you and your hair! There's a reason why those things are still on the shelves. I personally try to use more natural/organic products, but nobody should judge you based on the products you use. My mom used products like that on my hair as well when I was a child.

    • @CandiceAfterAll
      @CandiceAfterAll  9 лет назад +2

      +Beebe Tree LOL! You definitely should give it a try. And I think it just boils down to the fact that we all have different hair textures, porosity, coarseness, etc. That is likely why for some it's a winner and not for others. Thanks so much for your comment!

    I use a product that makes my hair so soft and actually locked in the moister and less frizz. Then found out it had mineral oil in it. From that day I decided to keep using it. I have 4c hair. My hair has beautiful tight spiral curls, thick hair and grows like crazy. But all the products I would use would dry so quick. I do wash and goes not twist outs or twist anymore now. If you don't want to use mineral oil then use castor oil or a mixture of different stuff. I wash my hair once a week or when it feels dirty. I have no method. Any sulfate free shampoo will wash out mineral oil cause they have low sulfonate in them. I don't use it on my scalp.

  • @4acurlie752
    @4acurlie752 8 лет назад +3

    so if you deal with grease..& let's say the next day you need to add moisture again,wouldn't the water not penetrate your strands because of the mineral oil being on the outside? I always thought in order to moisturize again you'd need to remove the mineral oil so the water gets through. I'm confused lol

    • @CandiceAfterAll
      @CandiceAfterAll  8 лет назад +12

      +dejjj_789 hi! Don't be confused. I read the same thing but the way I see it, water will remoisturize. I know you are saying that once your hair is sealed the water won't do anything because of the seal, but in my opinion and my experience with my hair , I add water to already sealed hair (whether using grease, oil or any other sealant) when my hair starts feeling dry. The water makes it feel moisturized again and I seal a again and do this until the next time I wash it. The question is, "does the water reach my hair underneath the sealant?" Honestly, I don't know ! But my hair feels remoisturized, it looks soft, healthy and it grows healthily and stays in a healthy state so I can only believe that it is doing some good and it works for me, based on the results. The only thing you can do is try different methods and see what will work for YOUR hair . And try not to get confused and discouraged. Your hair will let you know if it is working. I go off of how my hair feels and how it looks. If it continues to be in a healthy state then I'm happy and I know the method works. I hope that helps ! ❤️

    My mom put grease in my hair as a child, my hair was stunted. Never grew past neck length. So I relaxed it. Now I'm 1 year natural I'm staying away from grease and any thing with mineral oil. And I'm past shoulder length. Past my color bone almost arm put length. Everybody has their own experience. I personally will never ever use grease on my kids hair when I have kids. And my little sister's hair is also stunted I told my mom to lay off the grease and her hair is finally growing . Mineral oil clogs pores and that was on my scalp 24/7. I'm actually happy grease works for others people. But not me. I enjoyed your Video.

    • @CandiceAfterAll
      @CandiceAfterAll  8 лет назад +3

      +VxNx I understand. I only grease my scalp usually if im wearing my hair straight for a long period of time. other than that I use it on my hair and ends the most for natural styles. also you should try tea tree oil and us that exclusively for your scalp. you will get some great relief from the itching and it helps with stimulating growth as well. you can use that daily for you scalp. most beauty supply stores carry it.
