Hey, hair twin! My hair is experiencing everything you mentioned! I am in love with grease now. After having 5 kids, my hair was lacking so many nutrients and was thinning out. Getting to waist length, but thinning out. Now, I have started using grease too in combination with a leave in (ignoring my poor shea butter on the shelf for once), and it has totally regained thickness and softness! I am so thrilled with how it's been flourishing lately... i shall keep this up! I also use my JBCO home blend and a scalp massager in the shower and that's pretty much it. :)
I lost all my beautiful hair to cancer 😭and my mother told me "Let's take it back to when you were little,and start over" She has been oiling and braiding my hair and (knock on wood)its coming back slowly but surely.The grade of my hair seems to have changed a little bit,but no worries🤗
I keep telling people . All you need is water or leave in conditioner and grease.... that’s under $10 . How are people buying moisturizing products for $12.99 that don’t do anything ???? Make it make sense !
I went back the basics also. I had to think back what my mom used to put in my hair growing up. My hair was in the middle of my back growing up. My hair is growing like crazy😍
Those natural hair gurus want your growth to be stunted so you use their affiliate link to order those products that are $14.99+.... they use grease when we are not looking 👀
I started using water for my moisture, Luster's Pink lotion & i switch between the Blue magic bergamot and Indian hemp grease! my hair literally stayed moist for a full week, no itchy scalp, my hair is Loving it so much! Also i started using a sulfate shampoo to wash out the grease then follow with my moisturizing shampoo & conditioner!! All cheap products, and it's interesting that these products are working so much better for my natural hair then the natural products i've been spending so much money on cause I couldn't find anything that worked for me! Super happy about making the switch to grease & og products! xo
You're so right I use the blue magic with Indian hemp its really good I realize my hair ioves it even after a week of applying it it's still moisturized
You are so right. What moisturizing shampoo and conditioner do you use? That's what I use. The Luster's Pink lotion and the Indian hemp. Have to get some of the blue Magic Bergamot grease.
@Trinity M Actually, water molecules can technically penetrate grease, but not to the effectiveness needed if someone were to use grease and then apply water. Not much water would be allowed through. It is only useful if water is already beneath grease and can act as a "reactivator". Along with that, grease seals in the water and the water gets absorbed by the hair follicle while grease doesn't allow for much of it to evaporate, therefore the hair does actually stay moisturized for a longer period of time! This person said no wrong
Girl I can say the same thing. I no longer use certain hair products. Hair grease is everything. I did a big chop in June last year and I tell you, grease has been my best friend. My hair grew so much. I shared my results on my channel. Ladies stop being product junkies and go try hair grease.
@nickynatro I just subbed to your channel thanks for sharing your results. Glad to see more ppl going back to the basics. Grease was always a staple when I was kid
I can definitely agree with this. I live in the Caribbean and those popular natural hair brands are EXPENSIVE. sometimes 5x as much as the cost in the US. It doesn't make sense buying an 8 oz bottle of product that I am going to go through in less than a month because of humidity, the length and density of my hair. I have been on hair grease for a while now and it hasn't s done me wrong
I use the saaaammee Indian hemp. Same routine, leavein and blue magic, braids, repeat. Amazing moisture retention. Also girl, I love your channel!! Love from Kenya 🇰🇪
It’s because the Caribbean don’t manufacture lot of these natural hair products . Therefore , we have to export lot of these hair products and add our local taxes and other markups to make profit etc. I live in the Bahamas and everything here is over priced because if that reason.
I stopped because I was told it will clog your pores. I don't use grease directly on my scalp but I put it on my hair and my ends. Oil is best for the scalp.
This was my main question! I was gonna try it out. I've been using grease but I love oils infused with herbs that help my hair grow like fenugreek... So I grease once a week and mist my hair everyday and massage my scalp woth oils! I got that 4c hair so i can never moisturize too much 😊
my guess is everyone probably got afraid of using sulfates around that time and greese is some heavy duty sealant so it threw their hair off, but thats justta guess
Napturality and the early websites had a strong contingent of Queen Afua esque/Sebi naturals who began selling products like Oyin Naturals before they got mainstream. It was fucked up, if you think natural products for natural hair are expensive now, it was HORRIBLE back in the early 00s.
Efik Zara has an amazing video on the benefits of using grease! Back to the basics! I’m from the islands and grew up on hair grease!! And I love how honest you were about this! Ive been growing so frustrated with the natural hair community, everyone has an opinion on what everyone should and shouldn’t do with their hair. It’s so annoying.
Ok you've just convinced me to go back to hair grease! I have tried everything to keep my curls hydrated and within a few days...back to dry. I stopped using grease when I wanted to embrace my natural curls and followed what products I needed to use. My hair is super long now and these natural hair products is not cutting it. It's time to switch back to grease! My hair grew so long when I was a kid using just grease! Going back to the basics!!!🙌
Ma’am!! I literally started using grease on myself and my kids last month and I ain’t never going back! Just leave in, water and grease. I have the Indian hemp and castor oil one.
I agree. I went back to grease last year after using butters. My hair loves grease. I use a leave-in too and then use grease. Shine, thickness, strength and length retention are great.
One of my clients died last year and when I went to visit her at a rehab, she had blue magic and I decided to step outside my professional social worker role and braid her hair up with it. I was surprised at how soft it made her hair feel so I decided to buy myself a jar of the green blue magic. June, I was using flaxseed oil but when I smelled it spoiled and unfortunately I had just washed my hair and applied the spoiled oil, I rewashed and realized I had nothing else in the house but the grease. I love wearing my hair in stretched two strand twists in a ponytail these days. Went to a theme park July 4th and got rained on but my twists DID NOT shrink!
I’ve had the exact same experience with grease. I love original Blue Magic (Nezi Naps) but of late my hair has been LOVING Dax Lanolin (Lauren Leigh): strength, length retention, thickness and softness for days!!!
I always thought my mom was putting whatever stuff in my hair, but when I look at old pictures my hair looked so soft and shiny. So I'm back on a grease journey now lol!
Listen my hair is all the way down my back and I’ve always used grease. I use Trader Joe’s tea tree tingles shampoo and I use blue magic coconut grease
You also need to use a sulphate shampoo to get the grease out, and deep conditioning after or using a conditioner and then just moisturise your hair again and seal with the grease your hair will never dry out
Don’t have to use sulfate but do need a cleansing shampoo instead of a moisturizing one . I don’t even see the point of moisturizing shampoo . Shampoo is menattt by to cleanse and deep conditioner and leave in is suppose to moisturize . Sulfates is really for stripping silicon of the hair which silicon is literally plastic .
I started getting so frustrated with my natural hair because the ends was so dry and split at will and that affected my length retention. Thank God that I saw a video on grease and tried it. Oh my God my hair received a better life and I feeling so happy with My hair. Thanks to the youtubers who opened our eyes to the forgotten truth.
I started using grease when I would apply gel to my hair because gel is so drying. So I would take a scoop of gel and an equal amount of grease and apply that section by section. It would give me a soft hold, no flakes, and no drying. Now that I see your video, Im going to only use grease for a month or two to see if it stops the breakage. ❤🖤💚
I went back to Blue Magic grease as well and it was the best decision I ever made!!!! My hair reached bra strap length however I don't want my hair too long (too much maintenance)
I agree with you! I went back to old school blue magic and water! My hair has grown so much and that is what I will continue to do! I say to anyone do what works best for you and your hair!
I'm in the Caribbean as well (Dominican Republic 🇩🇴) and I've been using products made in my country. They work really well, but I was still looking for a product to lock in the moisture. After trial and error for months I have finally learned how to use petroleum jelly for my high porosity 3A-3B hair. Love it! Fights humidity really well!!!
You actually are making me go back old school! My mom used use the blue one on me when I was a kid. Just that and water. My hair was so long! I went and bought a jar just to see how it will go. I love Camille Rose products. I think I'll use the grease on my ends for now.
My niece washes her hair and deep condition then she use a leave in condition & luster's pink lotion and seal with vaseline or blue magic and that routine grew her hair long.
Growing up grease was a staple in my hair care because my mother bought Royal crown, Bergamot & satin creme press for straightening hair which we only got a press out on the holidays. Grease was great back then and still great I have a jar 🙂
My grandma used grease and water to make 12 curls in my hair. She then split each curl in half and my hair was done. about 20 years ago, I stopped using hair grease in favor of the "natural" butters and oils and my hair was not healthier or longer. Grease was cheaper and so I went back to it shortly thereafter.
Grease is the bomb. I use that same one Indian hemp. I go back and forth between grease and chebe butter mixed with shea butter and almond oil to make it softer. I've been using this as moisturizer for me and my daughters hair and it's so so moisturizing and the moisture lasts for days. Simple is better for sure.
I think that on the island the air is moist . In the states, at least where I live, the air is dry. I am from the island of Jamaica and that’s what I have noticed. It harder to keep your hair moist here.
You're right. I'm African American and traveled to Costa Rica. We hiked in the mountains there and my hair and skin stayed moisturized with minimal product while there. Came back home to the states and immediately dried out like a prune. Smh.
I love my grease. I use 'Indian Hemp' too. I wanted to try the 'Super Sure Gro'. Idk what this trend is now about no grease/oils, but my hair needs the moisture. Really not much to my routine. Grease, style repeat. Natural hair community has made it so extra and technical. Love it! Thx for this vid 🥰
Only apply on shaft of hair only not scalp,, we don’t want to clog follicles . Also wash your hair 2 twice a month ,,keep your hair braided during the time use a little grease and oil and lil water then braid it up to hold the moisture better than twist,,, Braids they can hold you for a week keep your hair detangled always on dry hair with a oil,.
@@bullyscentral7287 It honestly depends on the person. All this talk about clogging follicles...not only myself, but thousands of black women grew up getting their scalps greased and we were always the ones with the thickest and longest hair. Some ppl can't do grease on their scalps but it's making my hair grow back in thicker from where it felt out using DevaCurl products a few years ago. I feel we should stop telling ppl how to use a product and let them see if it works for them.
The Power of SIMPLICITY 💗 Hollywood Castor Oil hair grease comes in a BIG container...and it is a mid-weight, clear-colored hair grease I like to use in winter. Right now, I am using Royal Crown (an hair grease that has sentimental value to me, from childhood). It is lightweight and I love the scent!
Royal crown is what my mom used on herself and my sisters hair and we had hair down to our back and some had waist length. I'm not going to lie the shrinkage was real so therefore we had extremely healthy hair.
My mother always used blue magic on my hair for as long as I can remember and I've never stopped using it. My 2 favorites are the : coconut oil & the Indian hemp/super grow.
I did a second big chop ( like it was a faded cut) lower than my first big chop and my hair at the year mark was longer than it was on the first year of the first one. I went to a simple hair care less products went back to the basics. I let go of everything else and went to my hair grease and yes I grease my scalp too! Grease is the G.O.A. T for me I don't care what anyone says.
The stores in my area raised the prices on hair grease when they noticed that we started using it again. Family Dollar sold me a small container of sulfur 8 for $7. Just 3 months ago the price was $2.50😭😭
Everyone knows about blue magic. Majority of people in the natural hair community don't use it because the natural hair gurus on TH-cam told them not to use it.
Totally agree! I maybe have 1 or 2 go to leave ins OR my DIY flaxseed gel leave in & follow it up with grease and my high porosity hair has been holding onto moisture a lot longer. Sealing with oil does nothing for me unless it’s a thick oil like castor oil. Definitely team grease ✨
Funny how I bought the same blue magic Indian hemp grease this week and saw your video as well and I am like, yay! I did right. 😁 Thanks for this video. 😊
You just confirm my decision to stop using natural hair care products. I started using this grease a month ago after I started having severe shedding and breakage. I hope to see a difference soon.
You are so right. I had long went back to grease. It's cost effective. And it works. My mom use to put grease in my hair. I grew up in the Caribbean. My parents were born in Trinidad and Tobago. Yes!!! products can be very pricey. I started making my own aloe vera fresh gel oils. Thank you for sharing. Love and Light.❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️
Been using grease this past year and a half and it’s been so amazing. LCO with Shea Moisture spritz + Camille Rose Curlaid + Blue Magic = moisture for 1week and a half …plus that. Planning on using pink lotion soon. Ohh with washing grease out 1part ACV, 1 part Sunflower or Hemp seed oil, 2-3parts water then add some essential oils. I do this before I prepoo (half the time this is my prepoo) and leave it while I prepoo. Double cleanse with moisturizing shampoo and or African black soap. Takes most of the grease out if not all.
I use blue magic with Indian hemp made with green Tea leaves , jojoba oil and safflower that's the green one it works so well for me and it smell sooooooo goooood!!
I can totally relate , when I go to buy one leave in conditioner The cost: $43.00 Me: why !!!!!!! just one leave in conditioner for $43.00 like why!!!!!
Companies see black women as cash ATM period!!!!!!! Black hair/care products is a trillion dollar business and we are the fools for letting them get over on us period!!!!!! All u need is water and grease that's all!!!!!!!!
We used this grease as kids and it was really good! Grease was a haircare staple in my house as a kid! As an adult tho, I can’t deal with anything greasy touching me…even tho it smells HELLA GOOD!
Same. As a kid my hair loved grease and I didn’t mind how it felt, but as an adult my hair hates it and I don’t like feeling greasy. Since my teen years my hair loves leave-in to moisturize and butter to seal.
If you use grease, wash your hair twice. Washing your hair twice is beneficial anyway, especially when using butters and oils. But definitely if mineral oil or petrolatum is in the product. But yeah, it's still worth using. I went back to Luster's Pink and my high porosity hair is thanking me.👍
I also agree. Grease is always a staple. I use the same one and it's $10 sometimes in vincy. I also use beeswax cause I find it keeps the hair longer. Just my own preference.
I haven’t used that kind of grease since I was a kid. I always liked the smell though. My hair has grown so much during the pandemic. All I did was kept it moisturized and twisted. I switched off between any leave in conditioner I had, mixed with pure coconut oil from Costco or Africa’s Best Herbal Oil from Target. I always hear “keep it moisturized” but that’s so hard to do when you’re a busy person. I love just throwing up a quick bun. That’s not good though. You have to make your hair a priority. Thx for sharing empress!
That's why I follow you. I can trust your results bcuz our climate is similar. US influencers results was so hit n miss for me bcuz most of the time they don't have this kinda heat and humidity we deal with.
I want to go back to using one particular grease that My hair loved as a child...but i feel like its been discontinued. Im so sad. I loved the texture, the smell, the way it made my braids stay moisturized- amazing! Anybody else love “Always” natural Indian Hemp??? The one with the fuchsia colored lid. Im kinda scarred to try other grease because i have fine, high porosity hair and other greases were making my hair feel just dehydrated and greasy.
I see some hair stylist say that greas is bad for natural hair and clogs your pores.The crazy thing is allot of our parents would put greas on our natural hair when styling growing up. that's how some of us had long healthy hair is because of grease. When I started doing my own hair now it's not as long when my mom would because I would listen to what these natural hair gurus would tell me to buy.but now that I'm back to using grease my hair is flourishing
You are killing me right now. I just bought the exact brand but the castor oil one lol. I’m going back to Le Kair cholesterol and grease and continue some Ayurvedic protocols. Done!
I was so sad that grease didn’t work for me 😭 But when I used grease my hair was dry, it was hard to refresh my hair & wash it out 😭 but I’m glad this worked out for you !!
Yes I actually just recently started back using it again but this time I bought a different grease so far I’m liking it my hair is shiny and easy to style throughout the week
I noticed that when I used grease on my hair it made my skin oiler, my face had many little bumps due to congestion. Aztec clay mask and salicylic/glycolic acid knocked it out. I’m using my grease idc lol
Hmmm.... I’ve been breaking out lately. Wasn’t sure if it was my period, or the pillow I slept on. But I’ve also been wearing my hair out and use grease. I’ll look into that
That Curly Hair Style that you have in your intro...do you have a video on how you did that Hair Style ????? That's A Beautiful Hair Style...I've been using Hair Grease since I was little...Thanks for sharing...💕💕💕💕💕
I have not started using it yet but I'm working my way out of the products that I have so and I've seen a couple of natural TH-camrs go back to using grease so hey why not I know my mama used to use it when I was younger my hair was thick and long and thriving so why not

She then split each curl in half and my hair was done. about 20 years ago, I stopped using hair grease in favor of the "natural" butters and oils and my hair was not healthier or longer. Grease was cheaper and so I went back to it shortly thereafter.
Grease is the bomb. I use that same one Indian hemp. I go back and forth between grease and chebe butter mixed with shea butter and almond oil to make it softer. I've been using this as moisturizer for me and my daughters hair and it's so so moisturizing and the moisture lasts for days. Simple is better for sure.
I think that on the island the air is moist . In the states, at least where I live, the air is dry. I am from the island of Jamaica and that’s what I have noticed. It harder to keep your hair moist here.
You're right. I'm African American and traveled to Costa Rica. We hiked in the mountains there and my hair and skin stayed moisturized with minimal product while there. Came back home to the states and immediately dried out like a prune. Smh.
Yesssssss, we grew up using grease oil is not a good for some hair. Grease and water an brush.good day!!😘
I love my grease. I use 'Indian Hemp' too. I wanted to try the 'Super Sure Gro'. Idk what this trend is now about no grease/oils, but my hair needs the moisture. Really not much to my routine. Grease, style repeat. Natural hair community has made it so extra and technical. Love it! Thx for this vid 🥰
Only apply on shaft of hair only not scalp,, we don’t want to clog follicles . Also wash your hair 2 twice a month ,,keep your hair braided during the time use a little grease and oil and lil water then braid it up to hold the moisture better than twist,,, Braids they can hold you for a week keep your hair detangled always on dry hair with a oil,.
@@bullyscentral7287 It honestly depends on the person. All this talk about clogging follicles...not only myself, but thousands of black women grew up getting their scalps greased and we were always the ones with the thickest and longest hair.
Some ppl can't do grease on their scalps but it's making my hair grow back in thicker from where it felt out using DevaCurl products a few years ago. I feel we should stop telling ppl how to use a product and let them see if it works for them.
@@MagickalMermaid Yes it’s how you apply it as well and washing scalp at least 2 times a month while in protective style
The Power of SIMPLICITY 💗
Hollywood Castor Oil hair grease comes in a BIG container...and it is a mid-weight, clear-colored hair grease I like to use in winter. Right now, I am using Royal Crown (an hair grease that has sentimental value to me, from childhood). It is lightweight and I love the scent!
Nice!! Haven’t seen that grease before.
Preach!!! Team weigh the hair down and it stays together and moisturized for a loooong time.
Royal crown is what my mom used on herself and my sisters hair and we had hair down to our back and some had waist length. I'm not going to lie the shrinkage was real so therefore we had extremely healthy hair.
My mother always used blue magic on my hair for as long as I can remember and I've never stopped using it. My 2 favorites are the : coconut oil & the Indian hemp/super grow.
I've never seen beads adorning hair, in this style. Looks good!
I did a second big chop ( like it was a faded cut) lower than my first big chop and my hair at the year mark was longer than it was on the first year of the first one. I went to a simple hair care less products went back to the basics. I let go of everything else and went to my hair grease and yes I grease my scalp too! Grease is the G.O.A. T for me I don't care what anyone says.
The stores in my area raised the prices on hair grease when they noticed that we started using it again. Family Dollar sold me a small container of sulfur 8 for $7. Just 3 months ago the price was $2.50😭😭
Oh they Trifling 😂
Yep they did it in my area too. $5 for grease...ummmm....no.
Blue magic is old skool been using it all my life, surprised people are only hearing of it now its a big established brand
Everyone knows about blue magic. Majority of people in the natural hair community don't use it because the natural hair gurus on TH-cam told them not to use it.
@@cookie234ful1 I listen to my mum not gurus but I see what u mean
GREASE AIN’T NEVER HURT ME! I love the castor oil, Indian hemp and super sure gro.
Your accent is so cute!
Totally agree! I maybe have 1 or 2 go to leave ins OR my DIY flaxseed gel leave in & follow it up with grease and my high porosity hair has been holding onto moisture a lot longer. Sealing with oil does nothing for me unless it’s a thick oil like castor oil. Definitely team grease ✨
Funny how I bought the same blue magic Indian hemp grease this week and saw your video as well and I am like, yay! I did right. 😁
Thanks for this video. 😊
My Nana swore by blue magic. 🥰
I still use it and sing the song I remembered when I was a kid.
You just confirm my decision to stop using natural hair care products. I started using this grease a month ago after I started having severe shedding and breakage. I hope to see a difference soon.
Any updates
You are so right. I had long went back to grease. It's cost effective. And it works. My mom use to put grease in my hair. I grew up in the Caribbean. My parents were born in Trinidad and Tobago. Yes!!! products can be very pricey. I started making my own aloe vera fresh gel oils. Thank you for sharing. Love and Light.❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️
Been using grease this past year and a half and it’s been so amazing. LCO with Shea Moisture spritz + Camille Rose Curlaid + Blue Magic = moisture for 1week and a half …plus that. Planning on using pink lotion soon.
Ohh with washing grease out 1part ACV, 1 part Sunflower or Hemp seed oil, 2-3parts water then add some essential oils. I do this before I prepoo (half the time this is my prepoo) and leave it while I prepoo. Double cleanse with moisturizing shampoo and or African black soap. Takes most of the grease out if not all.
The best hair grease ever.
I use blue magic with Indian hemp made with green Tea leaves , jojoba oil and safflower that's the green one it works so well for me and it smell sooooooo goooood!!
I can totally relate , when I go to buy one leave in conditioner
The cost: $43.00
Me: why !!!!!!! just one leave in conditioner for $43.00 like why!!!!!
WHY 😭
Companies see black women as cash ATM period!!!!!!! Black hair/care products is a trillion dollar business and we are the fools for letting them get over on us period!!!!!! All u need is water and grease that's all!!!!!!!!
Grease is how much on Virgin Gorda? Shit lol
Yes mamas 😭😭.
I literally am just finding you and love your channel. Your hair is so beautiful. Nuff Caribbean love 🇯🇲🤗
Thank you babes! Welcome to the family ❤️
Facts… that Blue Magic Super Sure Gro ain’t no joke.
We used this grease as kids and it was really good! Grease was a haircare staple in my house as a kid! As an adult tho, I can’t deal with anything greasy touching me…even tho it smells HELLA GOOD!
Same. As a kid my hair loved grease and I didn’t mind how it felt, but as an adult my hair hates it and I don’t like feeling greasy. Since my teen years my hair loves leave-in to moisturize and butter to seal.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 I love a good leave-in! But, haven’t gotten into butters or even oils to seal
Hey! Love your videos and your personality!! I'm white with curly hair and I use Blue Magic all the time - I love it!!!!! Nothing better!!
And get your trims done rhats going to definitely help retain on top of that
I have been using blue magic for over a year and my hair is growing in very healthy and I started off bald.
I feel you on all the products it’s getting ridiculous, that one of the reasons I got locks, I’m free from all the products 🙌🏽
I’ll get locks one day!
Melanin goddess you beautiful
Thank you boo!
Yess...Her complexion is everything 💕
This is interesting I will definitely look into this a lot of these natural hair products don't really do much.
Sis you should try it. It does wonders for my hair. You can check out my results. I did a big chop and now my hair is so healthy and long.
@@nickynatro thanks hun I will order I see Amazon has it , appreciate you , your hair is beautiful 😍
@@laneys2030 Thank you. Let us know your experience when you try it. All the best🤗.
@@nickynatro I will thanks
i like Lanolin Dax grease also
I'm loving this look! All parts of it!
Ive been using just grease and a good leave in conditioner for some time n loving it
Blessings from Saint Lucia
Gurl I’m loving blue magic grease use to use it went back to the basic ✌🏽💜I don’t have to touch my hair for a week or 2😂yay!! I also add clove water
yess I recently used some grease for a twist out and my hair felt really good. Like grease is great for moisture retention
If you use grease, wash your hair twice. Washing your hair twice is beneficial anyway, especially when using butters and oils. But definitely if mineral oil or petrolatum is in the product. But yeah, it's still worth using. I went back to Luster's Pink and my high porosity hair is thanking me.👍
I also agree. Grease is always a staple. I use the same one and it's $10 sometimes in vincy. I also use beeswax cause I find it keeps the hair longer. Just my own preference.
I love grease too i use the blue magic ! 😍
Blue Magic has leave in conditioners too. I like those too. I add it last after my other products.
I start back using blue magic and my hair stay shine & moisture all day
i can attest to this my hair has grown in a space of four weeks justs greasing with blue magic
I haven’t used that kind of grease since I was a kid. I always liked the smell though.
My hair has grown so much during the pandemic. All I did was kept it moisturized and twisted. I switched off between any leave in conditioner I had, mixed with pure coconut oil from Costco or Africa’s Best Herbal Oil from Target. I always hear “keep it moisturized” but that’s so hard to do when you’re a busy person. I love just throwing up a quick bun. That’s not good though. You have to make your hair a priority. Thx for sharing empress!
That's why I follow you. I can trust your results bcuz our climate is similar. US influencers results was so hit n miss for me bcuz most of the time they don't have this kinda heat and humidity we deal with.
I want to go back to using one particular grease that My hair loved as a child...but i feel like its been discontinued. Im so sad. I loved the texture, the smell, the way it made my braids stay moisturized- amazing! Anybody else love “Always” natural Indian Hemp??? The one with the fuchsia colored lid.
Im kinda scarred to try other grease because i have fine, high porosity hair and other greases were making my hair feel just dehydrated and greasy.
Indian hemp grease? That's what I use!
It is not discontinued you can buy it at the beauty supply store or on Amazon
I went back to grease in about 2019 my hair is doing great
Your hair and your skin is beautiful!
I see some hair stylist say that greas is bad for natural hair and clogs your pores.The crazy thing is allot of our parents would put greas on our natural hair when styling growing up. that's how some of us had long healthy hair is because of grease.
When I started doing my own hair now it's not as long when my mom would because I would listen to what these natural hair gurus would tell me to buy.but now that I'm back to using grease my hair is flourishing
Hey Raz , let's see a updated routine for the week
Soon come babes
You are killing me right now. I just bought the exact brand but the castor oil one lol. I’m going back to Le Kair cholesterol and grease and continue some Ayurvedic protocols. Done!
The cholesterol is very moisturizing for my hair. I love it.
I started back using grease and I noticed my ends aren't as brittle.
I was so sad that grease didn’t work for me 😭 But when I used grease my hair was dry, it was hard to refresh my hair & wash it out 😭 but I’m glad this worked out for you !!
Did you use water/leave in conditioners/moisturisers before using the grease as a sealant?
Yes I actually just recently started back using it again but this time I bought a different grease so far I’m liking it my hair is shiny and easy to style throughout the week
@@brittanywashington407 What did you use before and what are you using now?
Gurl u and ur skin is gorgeous 😍😍💘💘
I noticed that when I used grease on my hair it made my skin oiler, my face had many little bumps due to congestion. Aztec clay mask and salicylic/glycolic acid knocked it out. I’m using my grease idc lol
Hmmm.... I’ve been breaking out lately. Wasn’t sure if it was my period, or the pillow I slept on.
But I’ve also been wearing my hair out and use grease. I’ll look into that
Did you use the grease on your scalp as well ?
@@staciegreene2262 yes
Love your accent it sounds like home. Girl you got a subscriber in me 🤣❤️ Hair grease for life 🔥
Thank you! Welcome to the family!!
I’m going to start using grease again. If I put any oil on my scalp, it starts to itch like crazy and turn red so I stop using oils.
That Curly Hair Style that you have in your intro...do you have a video on how you did that Hair Style ????? That's A Beautiful Hair Style...I've been using Hair Grease since I was little...Thanks for sharing...💕💕💕💕💕
You are so pretty. Thanks for the video.
I find it harder to wash out gel than grease tbh
Very
You def cant overdo, depending on your hair type
Notification squad ily razor💕
Babes❤️
At work now but can't walt to watch 💃🏿💯🤑
I have not started using it yet but I'm working my way out of the products that I have so and I've seen a couple of natural TH-camrs go back to using grease so hey why not I know my mama used to use it when I was younger my hair was thick and long and thriving so why not
Yes I'm have to get some blue magic grease . Blue magic grease grew my hair when I was younger. Blue magic is some good grease
