Back to the basics...the minute I stopped doing what my mona always did my hair has never been the same....my mom literally did my hair with grease and water after washing
I’m relaxed, but when I started using Softee as a sealant my hair growth exploded exponentially! No more dryness, breakage or dull hair. I went from armpit length to just below bra strap length in less than a year. After five years of being on a hair journey I finally narrowed down the products that work for me.

@@sashaeunoia I usually wash my hair 1x a week and I don't touch my hair until next wash day. My hair is always in a scarf since I WFH lol.

Same!! I had to apologize to my ancestors because when I first went natural I swore grease was the devil 😭!!! It has helped me retain so much length and Ive grown (or really retained) almost more hair in the past 2 years with grease than without it!! Im currently tailbone length...but 2 years of using grease and my hair went from about 1 to 2 inches below BSL to tailbone length!! Before that I was stuck around BSL for about 2 years no matter how much I would baby my hair.

This is why I swore grease was so bad and was turned off from it when I went natural. But when I started using it right, only as a sealant, never on the scalp...then it started working for me! Not sure how that tradition got crossed, cuz a lot of parents taught kids to grease their scalps...but you'd always hear parents or relatives say they'd "just put water and grease on their hair and go."

@@roxjnie9028 I was speaking on what the ancestors did...and their hair seemed fine with just water and grease. They had huge afros and long braids. People forget water is a great moisturizer all by itself (sometimes it's not enough on its own, but it can be). For example, when you get out the shower, dry off, and put vaseline on before your skin is fully dry....the skin remains baby soft because some moisture is still trapped in the skin barrier. It's rare if a person is still ashy because the water doesn't exactly evaporate from underneath the vaseline. It creates a barrier and the skin "drinks" the moisture and adds hydration. So in theory, it kinda works this way with the hair. The grease doesnt completely seal the hair but creates a nice barrier so its harder for water to escape...but water can still get in. If you notice, your hair isnt fully water proof when you wash it. For example, if I mist my hair or do a semi wash and go but just drenching it with water...my hair doesnt repel the water...it still capable of absorbing the water though through the layer of grease that is already on. The hair acts like a rag, and any spot that isnt fully sealed, attracts water, and the water absorbs throughout the hair shaft, underneath the barrier of grease. My hair still gets wet. So the grease is not smothering the hair and fully sealing off the shaft. It operates almost the way our natural sebum does. At least that's what I noticed and have pieced together just by trying it myself and tweaking my regimen to work for me. And I always have moisture as I dont use just water. I add vegetable glycerine to my water with some other products, spray my hair, then use a layer of coconut oil all over, then seal with grease.

I always thought my hair HATED coconut oil until I learned this. So I started sealing it into my hair with grease, and voila!! My hair actually loves it, is soft and holds moisture for days! I can go probably a week without touching my hair, but I always spray my growth and scalp leave in sprays every other day out of habit lol. But I only add grease once or twice before wash day. Sometimes I dont need to add it again. Just depends how my hair feels.

My hair has never been longer/thicker/healthier than when I'm greasing it to the scalp. Blue Magic is a staple! Because I grease & moisturize so heavy-handed (I have DRY hair), I use a clarifying shampoo (Tresemme mostly or a $1 Suave shampoo) every two weeks when I wash. The clarifying shampoo has not damaged or dried out my scalp or hair. After shampooing, I condition, deep condition for 30 minutes w/ a heated cap, wash that out, apply a heat protectant, a leave in conditioner & then use Jamaican Black Castor oil. Then I blow dry, flat iron on 380°, grease my scalp & roll up my hair. It's been working for me. The grease keeps my hair moisturized for a solid 3.5 to 4.5 days. I lightly grease my scalp in the summer & am heavier handed with grease in the winter. I find that the grease travels down from my scalp, be it via a comb or by my slightly greasy hands, it just travels down from my scalp & onto my hair strands. By greasing the scalp and allowing the grease to naturally travel down as I massage it into my scalp with my fingers, it stops my hair strands from being super weighed down while also sealing the moisture into the strands. Every time that I've given up grease, my hair starts to awfully shed, lose its thickness, shine & overall health. Our Grans & Moms were right: all you need is water, a good hair grease & edge control, lol. No more blowing money on all these oils & other products that waste money & don't look/feel half as good.
@@zebibtekietekie6072 She's telling you what HELPED her and you're telling HER something else? Putting Blue magic on the Scalp helped my hair as welll, that's why my hair is DOWN to my BACK!
I still use grease too! 🙋🏾♀️ Love it. When I don’t use my Shea butter to seal everything in I use grease to switch it up. My favorite brand is Softee!
Okay, so, why has it never occurred to me to braid the roots of my two strand twists? Geez! Yes! Back to what our mothers used to do to our hair. Greased up and braided up.
Grease is good it keeps your hair moisturize , whoever said it was not good for our hair lied and there's nothing wrong with putting it on your scalp . P. S. Coming from a old school hair care
Seeing this video now after I’ve switched back to using a childhood hair grease Blue magic with Indian hemp yes I’ve noticed a huge difference my hair is legit hydrated since I keep it in a protective style since I am living in the Midwest we have the most horrible Arctic winters EVA‼️‼️ but yasss gurl have to switch it up and do some throw backs that actually really work. Proud 🇯🇲 Jamaican to yours love ya
I've been natural for 10 years. I noticed a big change in my hair for the worse because of the hard water here in Florida. My hair was not thriving at all. I brought a shower filter and a filter for the kitchen. My hair has changed tremendously for the better since buying the filters. Much more softer, response much better to products. Huge difference.
Thank you. Ain’t nothing wrong with putting hair grease on your scalp. As a child my mom would wash my hair grease my scalp and let my hair air dry after she braided it those darn dozens braids with the rainbow colored barrettes 😂 my hair was relaxed back then BUT with her greasing my scalp and braiding it all the time, my hair was thick and down my back! I recently started back greasing my scalp a month ago.
I mix Blue magic, indian hemp and african roots in a bottle with my moisturizers and leave ins. This concoction leaves my hair juicy for weeks even after i wash my hair every week. My hair retains alot of length but I also plait and twist my hair so, this works for me! 3 years natural, 4c high porosity hair♥️ love from T&T😍
I’m so glad I never stopped using grease! I just couldn’t stop having my husband grease my scalp..I couldn’t I used Dax growing up, and blue magic later on. I started off with the coconut oil one for my scalp, and then transferred to the super sure grow, but mainly because it spread over my scalp easier and because of the smell. Now I seal my ends with the coconut oil grease and I can see a notable difference in length retention. I love grease and will never stop using it because it is what has ALWAYS worked for me!
I'm back to old faithful...I've notice increase in thickness and strength...my hairfall during washdays have dramatically decreased as well...learned my lesson..if it ain't broke then why was I tryna fix it...plus washdays are way cheaper now...good shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, grease...period the end...🤷🏿♀️
“Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.” Ephesians 3:17 NLT God bless you .
Hello girl yes I use grease all my life and never stopped even when I went natural 7 years ago I always used Dax pomade first black and then the green one but now im in love for the ultra sheen original. It's seals my hair pretty good and my hair feels very good and soft.
When I was small I was using vaseline with petrolium jelly mix with castor oil my hair was doing great. When I left my home (I"m from the West Indies) I still kept using but my hair wasn't doing ok with the different wheater conditions so 10 years ago I started using Dax the green one on my hair and even on my daughters and our hair started to break. My hair was so damage I had to cut my hair very short 4 yeasrs ago i just didn't see the signs that my hair wasn't doing ok and my daughter hair thank god only the back was breaking so I started using castor oil (my grandmother made for me she had it ready when I went back home) mix with coconut Oil (made it myself) in our hair and and is doing great now. Just be carefull know your hair if you see things is changing go back to what you was using. Your hair looks good
I use grease on my hair and that same exact grease. Your hair looks pretty you should also try the Royal crown grease. And to me am being honest grease was always consider a moisturizer and am speaking for myself.... ME myself and I. I enjoy the video as always.
Looks great. Love the layers. Love how you have styled it very simple like it used to be with our mothers and the way those of us who were natural before the mainstream movement came in. Its great. Thank you.
I love the way you start with a braid, then divide the braid into two sections and twist. I learned a better twist technique. Definitely picking up a jar of Softee Indian Hemp! Thanks so much for this video! 😊
OMG 😃😃 you have the most beautiful natural hair I have ever seen. Of all the videos I see on TH-cam yours truly encourages me to keep fighting for my hair that has been on the same stage for 2 yeast now since my big chop and despite all I've done.
My 4a high porosity hair is screaming THANK YOUUUUUU....Gave it a good deep condition last night, then sealed the deal with blower by melting the grease in my scalp......my hair feels so goodddd
The fact that I finally found someone with my exact type of hair after 5 years is making me happy. My hair in twists everyday because I don't know how to do my hair because after a few days it gets frizzy fast. Water, leave in,grease is my go to. #hairtiegang
It’s gorgeous! I tried twisting mine, but never do it right. I grew up with my mom and aunts using Blue Magic. Haha I haven’t seen that grease in a while. Didn’t know it was a sealant. Wow thanks for that tip.
Dax the black one is my favorite grease but I also enjoy your favorite grease as well. I recently also started using grease as my sealant. Normally I would use shea or mango butter, but grease is also working for me. It ends up being less frizzy however, I have to remoisturize a bit more often, but that could be because I only use a bit of grease for a whole section and I have thick hair.
Thank YOUUU!!! I finally decided to go back to greasing my hair and scalp alongside with oil ofc. Because I didn’t actually see what was wrong with grease, especially on my head
Blue Magic is my best friend! Lot of growth and length retention. Continuing on this hair journey for 2021.Happy New Year ! BTW your hair is gorgeous!💗
I'm using grease with Indian Hemp from Dax. I mix an amount of it with black grease, Sulphur 8, green and blue grease and a DIY oil. It grows my hair out like weed 😊 I have always used grease since I was a child. It has *NEVER* failed me yet 💚💚💚 I like it that a lot of naturals, are going back to grease 😎😎😎
I don’t know if it was this video about using grease but someone commented and said when they usd oils among other things their hair got thin and I swear this had been mine and I was wondering why this has been years of using oils and no grease ever since my last washI’ve been using grease and maybe it’s too soon or it’s in my head but my hair feels like it’s getting thicker. Key for me is to not be heavy handed with the grease as it doesn’t take much to moisturize and seal.
Softee is old school but good stuff. I use oils in my hair like, grapseed, shea butter, coconut, jojoba, hemp seed oil, olive oil, etc. I have Hypothyroidism my hair goes through so many changes in texture.
Awesome results, there is so much shine. Grease gives natural hair so much life. Honestly, my hair is in the worst state it seems, when I don't use it. I use blue magic and sulfur 8 and that combo does some type of magic. It's also a great sealant for locking in moisture.
Love your channel and have used many of your suggestions since I've begun my hair journey. I almost missed the last advice which is key to keeping the twist out a little longer. Thank you and happy New Year.
Your hair looks beautiful!!! ❤️❤️ I use this as well. Indian Hemp is amazing. I also tried other Softee products as well. Yes!!! I have use Dax as well. I went back to grease it works. Love and Light to you and everyone here.❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️
Beautiful! thx for the info! Great tips!👍 I like indian hemp too and I mix in olive oil....our mamas used to grease our scalps and it kept the hair healthy...old school tried and true🙏✊😊
Can I do a hot oil treatment with this. My mother used to melt down her grease and used cotton balls to apply to the scalp. She was a kitchen beautician using marcel heating tools on the stove. Learning that grease is a sealant has really shed new light on my hair growth journey. Thank you 💕
grease is a STAPLE in my routine during the winter for the past two years. And this year our winters have been cold and windy and because of grease it has sealed in all the moisture from my creams and leave in moisturizer. Like you said no grease on the scalp! it has really helped with moisture retention and length retention wayyy less breakage than using a butter or oil.
I just used the Kera Care grease after conditioning spray in my hair. I feel like this is going back to childhood with my grandmother doing my hair! I'm from the Caribbean also!
BACK in the daaaay it was Ultra Sheen (the blue one). I every so often use Dax or Softee. Softee does leave a stain so be careful of your clothing and pillows. Cute style. Royal Crown is another goid one as well.
What's wrong with using grease on the scalp? It lubricates the scalp And keeps it healthy and moisturized. When I apply it to my scalp I use a thin layer of it.
I use lanolin (always on my ends, when I straighten and I use the blow dryer to help heat it, or use my hand temp if using while cold out), shea butter(mostly for curly hair), & olive oil (over deep conditioner).
I had shoulder blade length hair when i was younger and blue magic was used for my braids ( i use to swim on a swim team so chlorine really destroyed my hair) for about a month and half i finally went back to grease and my hair is almost back to shoulder blade length! do what works for your hair. I've tried a lot of hair products but grease and oil when i do my twists keeps my from being dry. I Leave my twists in no more than 2 weeks. BUT I've had added a deep conditioner and hair mask to my wash routine that helps my low porosity hair a lot.
This girl I was talking to was so naive about hair that I told her my hair has been dry and she said "maybe it is the grease". 😑 How is that possible? That is like saying vaseline made my skin dry. The grease was the only thing preventing my hair from turning into sand paper and keeping what little moisture I have in my hair.
@@LiterallyArtt Oil is a sealant, grease not necessarily. Never needed water on my hair before using grease to moisturize it. It is thick enough substance to protect the hair and keep it lubricanted for longer periods of time. Similar to baby oil vs Vaseline on skin. To me baby oil does nothing for the skin but sit on it, but keep putting Vaseline something like the feet and it will soften any dry skin. Grease softens and rehydrates. Pure oil just seals whatever moisture that is already there. They don't work the same.

My hair has never been longer/thicker/healthier than when I'm greasing it to the scalp. Blue Magic is a staple! Because I grease & moisturize so heavy-handed (I have DRY hair), I use a clarifying shampoo (Tresemme mostly or a $1 Suave shampoo) every two weeks when I wash. The clarifying shampoo has not damaged or dried out my scalp or hair. After shampooing, I condition, deep condition for 30 minutes w/ a heated cap, wash that out, apply a heat protectant, a leave in conditioner & then use Jamaican Black Castor oil. Then I blow dry, flat iron on 380°, grease my scalp & roll up my hair. It's been working for me. The grease keeps my hair moisturized for a solid 3.5 to 4.5 days. I lightly grease my scalp in the summer & am heavier handed with grease in the winter. I find that the grease travels down from my scalp, be it via a comb or by my slightly greasy hands, it just travels down from my scalp & onto my hair strands. By greasing the scalp and allowing the grease to naturally travel down as I massage it into my scalp with my fingers, it stops my hair strands from being super weighed down while also sealing the moisture into the strands. Every time that I've given up grease, my hair starts to awfully shed, lose its thickness, shine & overall health. Our Grans & Moms were right: all you need is water, a good hair grease & edge control, lol. No more blowing money on all these oils & other products that waste money & don't look/feel half as good.
You wrote a whole thesis sis
When I was transitioning my mom used to put this on my scalp and my hair grew like crazy! I need to go back to it
On scalp I tho that will clog the scalp from hair growing

She's telling you what HELPED her and you're telling HER something else?
Putting Blue magic on the Scalp helped my hair as welll, that's why my hair is DOWN to my BACK!
I still use grease too! 🙋🏾♀️ Love it. When I don’t use my Shea butter to seal everything in I use grease to switch it up. My favorite brand is Softee!
Okay, so, why has it never occurred to me to braid the roots of my two strand twists? Geez!
Yes! Back to what our mothers used to do to our hair. Greased up and braided up.
Grease is good it keeps your hair moisturize , whoever said it was not good for our hair lied and there's nothing wrong with putting it on your scalp . P. S. Coming from a old school hair care
Exactly
Exactly! I grease my scalp about every 3-4 days and I grease my edges about every two.
Seeing this video now after I’ve switched back to using a childhood hair grease Blue magic with Indian hemp yes I’ve noticed a huge difference my hair is legit hydrated since I keep it in a protective style since I am living in the Midwest we have the most horrible Arctic winters EVA‼️‼️ but yasss gurl have to switch it up and do some throw backs that actually really work. Proud 🇯🇲 Jamaican to yours love ya
I'm currently using a mixture that I saw on Facebook its sulfur 8, Doo grow and Jamaican black castle oil all mixed together
Yesss me too and it's so bomb 💣. hair is moisturized for dayssss
Hey Where can I get this?
@@jesiles2124 try roses, Dollar tree, Dollar general and beauty supply store
@@jesiles2124 get the from your local beauty supply. they all come separate and you make your own mix.
Yes!!!! I know about that. Nice!!!!
Your hair is sooo freaking BEAUTIFUL! Love your accent ❣️
I love blue magic.
Really beautiful... wonder if this hard water is keeping some of us from hair growth. Even my plants don’t like it.🤔
I really believe that, too! :(
Try distilled or purified water and see if it makes a difference.
It def is.in in az.the water is horrible and super hard. Def notice difference when there is a water softener system
Where I’m from we have soft water thank god but I’m still going back to grease because my hair will not stay moisturized
I've been natural for 10 years. I noticed a big change in my hair for the worse because of the hard water here in Florida. My hair was not thriving at all. I brought a shower filter and a filter for the kitchen. My hair has changed tremendously for the better since buying the filters. Much more softer, response much better to products. Huge difference.
Grease is good just like God is good. Girl grease on your scalp will be FINE. Black hair needs oil... #silkyCotton
Definitely.
Grease never worked for me😔
Thank you. Ain’t nothing wrong with putting hair grease on your scalp. As a child my mom would wash my hair grease my scalp and let my hair air dry after she braided it those darn dozens braids with the rainbow colored barrettes 😂 my hair was relaxed back then BUT with her greasing my scalp and braiding it all the time, my hair was thick and down my back! I recently started back greasing my scalp a month ago.
😂that’s hilarious but true!
😂
I mix Blue magic, indian hemp and african roots in a bottle with my moisturizers and leave ins. This concoction leaves my hair juicy for weeks even after i wash my hair every week. My hair retains alot of length but I also plait and twist my hair so, this works for me! 3 years natural, 4c high porosity hair♥️ love from T&T😍
I haven’t seen my natural hair since quarantine started 💀 going to try this most definitely after these braids
I wear braids a lot too & seal my hair with grease and a leave-in before getting a new style.
I think I need to go back to Grease, my high porosity hair stays dry
You sure won’t regret greasing that scalp!
Ong
Yes im high porosity 4c and recently realized grease is my best friend! Less breakage, keeps hair sealed and moisturized for weeks!
Grease is actually best for high porosity hair.
AS A SEALANT!!! UGH
I've been doing it WRONG!!
Back to the drawing board!
Thanks!!
Beautiful as always!!
Lol well how were you using it ?
Right after conditioning. Smh
I know. I know. Shame on me.
@@koitsme 😂😂😭
@@koitsme girlllll LOL 🤣. That sounds like a caked up mess.
It's not! Lol. It just stay moisturized. Now I know how to keep it moisturized longer.
I’m so glad I never stopped using grease! I just couldn’t stop having my husband grease my scalp..I couldn’t
I used Dax growing up, and blue magic later on. I started off with the coconut oil one for my scalp, and then transferred to the super sure grow, but mainly because it spread over my scalp easier and because of the smell. Now I seal my ends with the coconut oil grease and I can see a notable difference in length retention.
I love grease and will never stop using it because it is what has ALWAYS worked for me!
Aww what a lovely poem
I'm back to old faithful...I've notice increase in thickness and strength...my hairfall during washdays have dramatically decreased as well...learned my lesson..if it ain't broke then why was I tryna fix it...plus washdays are way cheaper now...good shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, grease...period the end...🤷🏿♀️

Blue Magic, Dax, and Royal Crown is something we keep in my home.
Hi, Vanessa! My Mom loved Royal Crown, Sulfur 8, and Blue Magic!
@@vanessathomas7437 its a must!
@@vanessajackson2977 Yes, Ma'am!
Yaasss...
that's all I use is indian hemp and protective braids.. my hair loves it.
I love Indian Hemp grease been using it for 35 years. It helped me grow my natural 4a/b hair long all of my life
I started using grease again in the summer/fall of 2020! My hair grew so much!!!! I used Africans Best and Royal Crown, mixed with olive oil
Hello girl yes I use grease all my life and never stopped even when I went natural 7 years ago I always used Dax pomade first black and then the green one but now im in love for the ultra sheen original. It's seals my hair pretty good and my hair feels very good and soft.

When I was small I was using vaseline with petrolium jelly mix with castor oil my hair was doing great. When I left my home (I"m from the West Indies) I still kept using but my hair wasn't doing ok with the different wheater conditions so 10 years ago I started using Dax the green one on my hair and even on my daughters and our hair started to break. My hair was so damage I had to cut my hair very short 4 yeasrs ago i just didn't see the signs that my hair wasn't doing ok and my daughter hair thank god only the back was breaking so I started using castor oil (my grandmother made for me she had it ready when I went back home) mix with coconut Oil (made it myself) in our hair and and is doing great now.
Just be carefull know your hair if you see things is changing go back to what you was using.
Your hair looks good
Blue magic makes my hair so SOFT
Agree!
Girl you got bout a good 5 pack of passion twist hair on your head. I'm coming with my sheers... I need em for a quick crochet!
Your comment almost sent me to my ancestors!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ellenkorang6670 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
I use grease on my hair and that same exact grease. Your hair looks pretty you should also try the Royal crown grease. And to me am being honest grease was always consider a moisturizer and am speaking for myself.... ME myself and I. I enjoy the video as always.
My mother used to use Royal Crown on my hair when I was growing up ☺
Looks great. Love the layers. Love how you have styled it very simple like it used to be with our mothers and the way those of us who were natural before the mainstream movement came in. Its great. Thank you.

nd causing chaos in the aftermath. Eeckugh!
Grease and water has always been the trick for us! All hairtypes too!😊 👍🏾
I use the same grease on relaxed hair and scalp and its greatly reduced my shedding. I’ll never give it up!
Dang when I was relaxed I wished I would have used grease. 😔
Girl that’s some beautiful hair!
Lol I just did this EXACT hair style today with some blue magic :) Love your videos 👍🏿
Same. Blue magic (the coconut and blue ones) are my staples.
I love the way you start with a braid, then divide the braid into two sections and twist. I learned a better twist technique. Definitely picking up a jar of Softee Indian Hemp! Thanks so much for this video! 😊
Wow! You AND your hair are absolutely beautiful!! 😍
OMG 😃😃 you have the most beautiful natural hair I have ever seen. Of all the videos I see on TH-cam yours truly encourages me to keep fighting for my hair that has been on the same stage for 2 yeast now since my big chop and despite all I've done.
M’y by far favorite grease is the blue magic coconut oil
My 4a high porosity hair is screaming THANK YOUUUUUU....Gave it a good deep condition last night, then sealed the deal with blower by melting the grease in my scalp......my hair feels so goodddd
Dax grease
Happy New Year 🎉!! To you and everyone in the comments!!
The fact that I finally found someone with my exact type of hair after 5 years is making me happy. My hair in twists everyday because I don't know how to do my hair because after a few days it gets frizzy fast. Water, leave in,grease is my go to. #hairtiegang
Hey y’all I sometimes use aloe Vera gel to seal my twist they always look so juicy!
Aloe gel is sooo hydrating .
I love itt
It’s gorgeous! I tried twisting mine, but never do it right. I grew up with my mom and aunts using Blue Magic. Haha I haven’t seen that grease in a while. Didn’t know it was a sealant. Wow thanks for that tip.
That grease really does work I'm from sumter South Carolina and it also made my hands extra soft and also made my Nails grew.
Dax the black one is my favorite grease but I also enjoy your favorite grease as well. I recently also started using grease as my sealant. Normally I would use shea or mango butter, but grease is also working for me. It ends up being less frizzy however, I have to remoisturize a bit more often, but that could be because I only use a bit of grease for a whole section and I have thick hair.
I USE DAX INDIAN HEMP GREASE
Thank YOUUU!!! I finally decided to go back to greasing my hair and scalp alongside with oil ofc. Because I didn’t actually see what was wrong with grease, especially on my head
Blue Magic is my best friend! Lot of growth and length retention. Continuing on this hair journey for 2021.Happy New Year ! BTW your hair is gorgeous!💗
yesss, try vaseline! I used it when I was relaxed and my hair loved it! Happy new year!!
This bajan beauty right here. Always looking fabulous 💕😊
I'm using grease with Indian Hemp from Dax. I mix an amount of it with black grease, Sulphur 8, green and blue grease and a DIY oil. It grows my hair out like weed 😊
I have always used grease since I was a child. It has *NEVER* failed me yet 💚💚💚 I like it that a lot of naturals, are going back to grease 😎😎😎

I love that Softee Indian Hemp. Idk who said grease is bad for us. Maybe for them lol
Omg I was all in your background it looks so beautiful palm trees everywhere!
One of my fav "cheap" greases 💚
My other fav is the camille rose growth and shine balm! the only con is the size of the product for mee
Happy new year the grease softee and bluemagic but I mix them with either wildgrowth the yellow one or hair fertilizer
The way my hair is setup the next day those twist will be at my scalp. You have beautiful hair! ❤️
Love the shine on your hair
I don’t know if it was this video about using grease but someone commented and said when they usd oils among other things their hair got thin and I swear this had been mine and I was wondering why this has been years of using oils and no grease ever since my last washI’ve been using grease and maybe it’s too soon or it’s in my head but my hair feels like it’s getting thicker. Key for me is to not be heavy handed with the grease as it doesn’t take much to moisturize and seal.
Softee is old school but good stuff. I use oils in my hair like, grapseed, shea butter, coconut, jojoba, hemp seed oil, olive oil, etc. I have Hypothyroidism my hair goes through so many changes in texture.
Awesome results, there is so much shine. Grease gives natural hair so much life. Honestly, my hair is in the worst state it seems, when I don't use it. I use blue magic and sulfur 8 and that combo does some type of magic. It's also a great sealant for locking in moisture.

Softee light hemp is my JAM! It’s not as heavy as blue magic but still does the job!
I love Indian hemp grease this one & the light brown one that used be in the almost triangular shaped jar
Love your channel and have used many of your suggestions since I've begun my hair journey. I almost missed the last advice which is key to keeping the twist out a little longer. Thank you and happy New Year.
That darn HAIR!!!!❤️❤️❤️😍
Blue Magic Indian Hemp is my favorite grease
I use greese to retwist my locs and it looks great! Greese for my roots and water and oil to moisturize tbe rest of the hair.
What about buildup? Is it a lot?
@@krystle3822 surprisingly, I haven't seen any😁
@@krystle3822 ... Grease is fine to use. Just
don't use a lot of grease. be sure wash day gets it all out.
I wish i could do twist my hair would be a tangled mess. Your hair is so pretty 😍
ME TOO
Why can’t you twist it? Any hair type or length can be twisted girl! ❤️
@@KLB1218 honey I can twist it but it tangles easily. My hair just does better with braids.
Your hair looks beautiful!!! ❤️❤️ I use this as well. Indian Hemp is amazing. I also tried other Softee products as well. Yes!!! I have use Dax as well. I went back to grease it works. Love and Light to you and everyone here.❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️
Very pretty! Would love to see the take down as a twist out!
Your hair is so beautiful and thick!
Beautiful! thx for the info! Great tips!👍 I like indian hemp too and I mix in olive oil....our mamas used to grease our scalps and it kept the hair healthy...old school tried and true🙏✊😊

Can I do a hot oil treatment with this. My mother used to melt down her grease and used cotton balls to apply to the scalp. She was a kitchen beautician using marcel heating tools on the stove. Learning that grease is a sealant has really shed new light on my hair growth journey. Thank you 💕
grease is a STAPLE in my routine during the winter for the past two years. And this year our winters have been cold and windy and because of grease it has sealed in all the moisture from my creams and leave in moisturizer. Like you said no grease on the scalp! it has really helped with moisture retention and length retention wayyy less breakage than using a butter or oil.
Just beautiful.........girl looove your hair....!!!
I do half my head and my fingers lock up, I can’t imagine how long this takes
My favorite is Blue Magic (the green one). I use it with water and leave in..
I just used the Kera Care grease after conditioning spray in my hair. I feel like this is going back to childhood with my grandmother doing my hair! I'm from the Caribbean also!
BACK in the daaaay it was Ultra Sheen (the blue one). I every so often use Dax or Softee. Softee does leave a stain so be careful of your clothing and pillows. Cute style. Royal Crown is another goid one as well.
I still use Ultra Sheen green one.
What's wrong with using grease on the scalp? It lubricates the scalp And keeps it healthy and moisturized. When I apply it to my scalp I use a thin layer of it.
@UDOCHI OKORO Well that's true and I agree
It’s always irritated my scalp horribly. Mine does best with frequent washing. It just likes water.
back to the basics... Always did work!!💯
I use lanolin (always on my ends, when I straighten and I use the blow dryer to help heat it, or use my hand temp if using while cold out), shea butter(mostly for curly hair), & olive oil (over deep conditioner).
My mom used grease on my hair as a little girl & my hair was perfectly healthy. I use grease now along with a few other products.
That thumbnail is fire af!
I had shoulder blade length hair when i was younger and blue magic was used for my braids ( i use to swim on a swim team so chlorine really destroyed my hair) for about a month and half i finally went back to grease and my hair is almost back to shoulder blade length! do what works for your hair. I've tried a lot of hair products but grease and oil when i do my twists keeps my from being dry. I Leave my twists in no more than 2 weeks. BUT I've had added a deep conditioner and hair mask to my wash routine that helps my low porosity hair a lot.
We all need to admit that grease is the best thing that ever happened to our hair as black women lol we need to come home lmao
😂😅
You’re absolutely beautiful, love your hair, wishing you all the best, happy new year ❤️
This girl I was talking to was so naive about hair that I told her my hair has been dry and she said "maybe it is the grease". 😑 How is that possible? That is like saying vaseline made my skin dry. The grease was the only thing preventing my hair from turning into sand paper and keeping what little moisture I have in my hair.
why is your hair dry if you're using grease?
idk if you’re gonna see this but you probably need to put water before the grease, if you’re not already.
Grease is not a moisturizer it’s a sealant. You need water before grease or your hair will dry out.
@@LiterallyArtt Oil is a sealant, grease not necessarily. Never needed water on my hair before using grease to moisturize it. It is thick enough substance to protect the hair and keep it lubricanted for longer periods of time. Similar to baby oil vs Vaseline on skin. To me baby oil does nothing for the skin but sit on it, but keep putting Vaseline something like the feet and it will soften any dry skin. Grease softens and rehydrates. Pure oil just seals whatever moisture that is already there. They don't work the same.
@@ebonyy5248 Because back then, I didn't know the importance of deep conditioning and leave in conditioner.
