So I tried this method last night as I was kicking myself for forgetting in the early 2000s my sister and I used grease to flatiron our hair, my step mother used grease to blow out my hair before she braided it and both times my hair was waist length and T H I C K af. I work on a small island, lots if humidity. So far let me tell you... my strands were so luscious and pin straight except for the bump on the ends. NO FRIZZ, no knots, no tangles... I literally stopped putting grease in my hair because the New Naturals were saying it was bad. But honestly Im glad to be Team Grease again because this is the happiest I have seen my hair as an adult. I wanna do a growth challenge to see how long it will get by June. Thanks so much for removing the fear from my mind 🙌🏽
You're so welcome hun, glad I could help. Yep, I'm with you on that one, I am currently trying to get that health. Thin long hair wasn't doing it for me.
Yesss this is what keep saying. Nowadays ppl saying grease is bad for u or you’ll fry ur hair off. Noooo it’s a staple for us black women! I love that people are finally starting to go back to old school ways !
Yes! I LOVE grease. Its great as a sealant and as a heat protectant. It's the reason my hair has started growing so long. I would suggest any natural or relaxed with type 4 hair to give it a try
Alright I just straightened my hair with Dax Pressing Oil and I'm very happy with the results. My hair isn't some dry damanged looking mess like the last time I straightened my hair with just a heat protectant spray, so thank you for this video!!!
I would get the same result that you mentioned (dry and damaged looking), if I didn't use hair grease to straighten my hair. I literally can not do my hair without it now, no matter the style.
This is such a good video. I love the different angles. Very straight to the point and informative. I’m thinking about doing an old skool press on my hair as well.
Thanks my lovely. I was avoiding it for so long, for two reasons. I didn't want to blow dry my hair then use the straighteners right after and secondly doing that method is so time-consuming lol. Washing my hair and letting it air dry in braids is so much easier, so I think I may straighten a bit more now. Thanks for watching. x
Wow this sure turned out beautiful. Your hair growth is amazing !! I am binge watching your videos . So if you get comments on an 8 month video please excuse me lol 😂❤
new subscriber; however. been watching your videos' over the yrs. Such a lovely young lady. inspiring me to get back to my old school hair routines using blue magic. next jar will be the Indian hemp.
Wow your hair straightened on you looks beautiful I need your help please when I straighten my natural hair it would fizz and my ends would burn of and become crispy even when I used a heat protectant I will try this method x
Thank you my lovely. No, I didn't say the grease can be used as a heat protectant, I was saying that I wasn't going to use a heat protectant, as that's how my hair was straightening as a child. However, petroleum can be used as a heat protectant, because it has a high burning point of over 400°c + (meaning it wont burn before that point), whereas my straighteners highest temperature is 230°c . Hope I was rambling lol
Since grease is basically petrolatum which is oil, therefore do you think flat ironing can "fry" the hair ? I came across this term somewhere where they said using an oil before flat ironing can damage hair . Please help me understand this because I really want to try this!
If it fried the hair these pressing oils wouldn't have stood the test of time. What you need to watch out for are those "heat protectant" sprays and serums. They did more damage to my hair than any pressing oil ever did.
Your hair looks great!! I'm so scared to straighten my hair, worse with hair grease. 😱 Does it go back to your normal healthy curl pattern once you wash it let's say after 1 week? Do you get that sizzling sound when you're passing the flat iron? 😥
Hey, thanks! Yes, my hair reverts back to curly. I'm going to do a video on it. I only got the sizzling sound on parts of my hair that were still wet, but not the parts that had hair grease.
@@MissLaurenLeigh11 😲😲😲😲😲😲sizzle equates to heat damage burning..water is boiling with hair cortex or outside hair shaft like water sizzling on a hot oily pan...girl nooooo
I think I missed a bit. After washing your hair at what point to you out the grease on. You seem to put it on twice. Thanks for great vids so excited to try your methods. White curly girl. X
crikeymos22 hey hun. I actually put a leave-in in and then added the grease to seal it in. But just as I was going to straighten my hair I added more grease to smaller sections. Hope I havent confused ya 😉 Thank you for watching 😘
You most probably can. Although I haven't tried it myself, but the green one is a bit thicker than the white one, so may be a little heavy for straight hair. Thank you x

It's the best. I thought so many people were against hair grease, but in fact it's the opposite.
Second that!
@@MissLaurenLeigh11 We were just hiding.😂
Believe it or not grease is also a heat protectant just don't put a lot I do this now and my hair loves it
Yes I think hair grease is also the solution for straightening my fine natural hair !
Works wonders! 👌🏽

I just bought this same Dax
I love the results. Love how it looks very moisturized.
Thank you my lovely. X

Thank you hun x
I am so happy that I found this amazing video!❤❤
Love it your hair have grown, time to get me some pressing hair grease
Thank you hun. I was pleasantly surprised. I half expected my hair to sizzle a little lol
I'm definitely going to give this a try because I've tried everything else and my hair doesn't hold
Let us know what happens as this never worked for me
I was wondering when u were going to straighten your hair! Gorgeous hun!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙋🏽♀️

I commented on another tubers channel that I do the same as my mom pressed our hair with hair grease all of the the hair dresser did as well
She tore into me 🤣🤣🤣
Oh wow. 🤭
I started back using grease too. I could not find Dax, so I got Palmer's pressing oil
Your hair has really grown and the color is also very pretty.👌😃
Thank you Earlene. I knew it had grown, but I was still a little shocked to see the length. 🤗
Thank you! What I’ve been needing all along. Good ole fashioned hair grease!
Thank you for watching. You’re welcome doll xx
Great!! A video on the reversion would be helpful. Can't wait to see it!
I got ya! 😉
Wow this sure turned out beautiful. Your hair growth is amazing !! I am binge watching your videos . So if you get comments on an 8 month video please excuse me lol 😂❤
Jenny's Asmr Fun awww thank you very much. Go head girl 🤗😉

Awesome! Thank you! Yes, my Son's hair loves some Indian Hemp.
Thanks again for subscribing. x
That’s the thing I can’t deal with the stiffness
It doesn't end up stiff, once it's been wrapped at night, it becomes more flexible and silky. I'm going to do a video on it.
@@MissLaurenLeigh11 good to know. I was worried about that as well.
Wow your hair straightened on you looks beautiful I need your help please when I straighten my natural hair it would fizz and my ends would burn of and become crispy even when I used a heat protectant I will try this method x
As usual, I like the result 😍
You look like a blasian beauty with your hair straighten 😁
Lol thank you my lovely. I've been getting a lot of confused looks since straightening it. Maybe they're trying to figure me out 🤷🏽♀️🤣
You look ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL with straight hair! 👍🏾❤️ question... did you say the grease protects against the heat?
Thank you my lovely.
No, I didn't say the grease can be used as a heat protectant, I was saying that I wasn't going to use a heat protectant, as that's how my hair was straightening as a child.

I just bought some Dax pressing oil!
it looks good
Your hair is beautiful curly or straight thumbs up too you
Thank you Patricia x
So pretty & long omg💖💖

Can I use any grease for this? I have Blue magic
Yes! I used the Dax straightening grease. Just be light handed with it.
Can I use the green pomade dax to do the same ?
I would say the green Dax is a bit thicker than this one, so due to my hair type I personally wouldn't. All you can do is try 👍🏽
I think I missed a bit. After washing your hair at what point to you out the grease on. You seem to put it on twice. Thanks for great vids so excited to try your methods. White curly girl. X

Can I do that with the green dax? I loved the video💕💕💕
You most probably can. Although I haven't tried it myself, but the green one is a bit thicker than the white one, so may be a little heavy for straight hair.
Thank you x
@@MissLaurenLeigh11 Thank you very much for answering💕💕💕⬆️
£2.99!? You people that live England are so lucky. Stuck in rural Wales paying £6 on eBay smh
Man, that's annoying!
No grease for me
