Hey y'all! I just released an e-book detailing all of the recipes I use to GROW/THICKEN my hair and improve/maintain scalp and hair health! Order it here!!! efikzara.sellfy.store/p/efikzaras-recipe-bible/ I'm so excited to share this information with you! You won't find it ANYWHERE else and trust me, it will revolutionize your natural hair journey!
I don’t think they lied. They gave us options. We never considered natural oils before. Grease works for some and not others. Coconut oil is not the messiah for everyone. If grease works use grease. If natural oils give us long lustrous hair then use that. There are many roads to Rome. I hope we all get there. I mean I’m tryna get to Delta state but that’s a story for another day. 😏.
👏🏾👏🏾 Yes! We're all different. I only occasionally used grease before going natural over 20 years ago. Back then I relaxed my hair and it was super-thick & long. When I first went natural I found that grease & most oils just sit on my hair & jack up my curl pattern! Yes, my scalp needed moisture and maybe oil, but my hair does not like it at all. If it's mixed into a product it's a little better but my hair will protest every time. *Sigh* my search continues for a grease or oil that will stay on my scalp on not get on my hair OR that my hair likes.
That's just why I stacked up before it does a have about8 jars and will be getting more cuz 20$ a jar is a no go I will end up making it before then lol by ordering petroleum jelly oils herbs etc lol
We coming for growth, positivity, and prosperity all 2020✨🤪! For anyone reading this, I speak nothing but blessings and happiness over you and your loved ones this upcoming year! Edit: it’s the end of 2020 and.. this comment.. did not age well. The world is in shambles. Tf?😭💀
@@Caribbeana Any specific brand? I looove bergamot and I'm going back to basics. I'm in ED recovery trying to grow my hair back like it was when I was little.
@Adele Zadi Expensive shampoo and conditioner that's probably like $20 or $30 a bottle, leave-in conditioners, creams, and oils that are also expensive as well. That could be the case but I don't know.
I switched from "grease" to oils when the "movement" came. As soon as i finish these bottles, I'm going back to everything I used to use back in the day...grease included.
@@crystalnelson6792 Well, I can only name the few I've tried - Blue Magic, Stella pomade & Vaseline come readily to mind. I've no problem with raw shea butter & oils, though.
The same thing with Sulfates.. we all used to use them until this “natural hair community”... you need sulfates to remove the grease that y’all are scared of
I tried staying away from sulfate shampoo but my scalp just iched like crazy , like I got scared .until I went back to the shop grabbed a normal shampoo ( making sure that my natural buddies don't spot me :D ) after using it all my iches disappeared like magic !
Right ! But I will say. A good sulfate free shampoo 🧴 is Shea moisture JBCO. I’m still not understanding why ppl aren’t using the line anymore when some of the the stuff works
🦋🦋🦋 I've been trying to tell my trifling ass brother to use some grease in his hair to keep it moisturized because it helps me. But he's satisfied with his hair sounding like dried leaves.
I grew up on Blue Magic and I have a picture when my hair was like yours. My Grandmother is 95 years old and she still uses it. She has the most beautiful hair and the length is crazy. I'm going back to what I know works. Thank you Sis...great video.
Hey....I'm 60 years old and back in my day Grease was all we had, looking back now my Natural hair was in better shape then it ever was after giving up grease for so many other products made promises, but left me displeased. I'M GOING BACK TO GREASE!! Thank you Sister!!!!!
Idc what any naysayers say about greace I grew up on it and it never did my hair any harm. My hair was always moisturized and grew long thanks to greace and cornrows! But what really messed my hair up was that creamy crack.
Yes. My cousin washed and greased her scalp every two weeks and her hair was gorgeous. She was ill and on a lot of medication plus on top of taking dialisys. Her her was still gorgeous due to her hair routine. Rip sadly she passed last year. But what she taught me i will be practicing.
I'm for anything that works for your hair. Don't use grease because of the heaviness and it has the tendency to get all over every thing. I use coconut oil and Shea Moisture. But think the best way for your hair to grow is to just leave it alone. I usually keep my hair twisted and pinned up. My hair grows about an inch per month, but the secret is taking care of it so it doesn't break off.
Thanks for everyone's kind words. She will be truly missed. I massage my scalp daily to get the blood flowing. I have noticed a significant amount of hair growth due to that little extra put into my routine. I used to think the same thing about leaving your hair alone. But in order for the hair to grow blood flow helps a lot.
Different strokes for different folks. I can't comb my hair when wet, tried it and I ended up with more knots, tangles and frustration, damp yes, wet nope.
bianca44bianca that’s not true. You can comb your hair while wet. You are not suppose to brush your hair while wet because your the bristles rip the hair .
I've been THRIVING with my blue magic over the past 5 months. Nothing else keeps moisture in my hair. Its thick enough and now that it's cold its helping my nape not break like it's been doing the past few years. I couldn't figure out why it was so dry with all my expensive ass curly girl method approved products 😂 I just needed some damn DAX. DAX, BLUE MAGIC, MOISTURE MAX, INDIAN HEMP, you name it, I bought it. My hairs doing so well lately.
@@BlackHipsterGirl it keeps my hair really soft and moisturized. I use the dark green one. I know the one you're talking about, its pink/red? I use it too, to seal in moisture also, but not in my scalp just my strands. It keeps my hair detangled too. FOR LIKE A WEEK I dint have to do much of anything besides style it a little. I just dont use a ton because it definitely can block out moisture if you arent careful with your moisturizer underneath, I go ham and then seal it up with the grease and I'm good to go. I have really thick highly porous 4a hair. I typically use heavy products. Shea butter is my usual sealant but my hair doesn't care for it anymore it does nothing 😂 and oils don't really work for me alone at all
@@shhhh6174 yes it's red. I have 4a hair too. I haven't tested the porosity but it does take well to oils and grease. When you think about it grease is made from an oil. It's mostly mineral oil
@@BlackHipsterGirl that's true but on it's own oil is just too light for my hair, I have to apply too many time and that's when I start getting that drying effect because when the oil dries out the moisture dries out. I just dont like my hair being gunky with product so reapplying is no good for me, and washing and conditioning too often is really bad for me. The grease just is heavy enough to let me stretch from week to week almost without having to re wet and moisturize my hair. I literally have to stick my head under the sink and then reapply all my products every few days or it starts breaking off
I haven’t used grease in about 35 years. I cannot. But, I don’t hate on it. I know several people who use it and it works well for them. I say find a regime that works for you, then use it. No need for hating and judgment. Our mothers/grandmothers used grease on our hair for years.
Ni La I soo agree. People are getting it out of context. I don’t believe natural hair community lied. I think they just told us some products would yield better results - that is not wrong. Different strokes for different folks and everyone has to find out what works best for themselves. If grease works it’s okay too. We are all trying to get the best results. Whether it be natural products or man made.
I went back to grease last year and have ZERO regrets and amazing results! The fancy butters, cremes, and oils just wasnt doing it for my 4C Straw hair.
Listen I'm a male with waves, and all my grandmother ever used was royal crown grease and had hair down to her lower back, I'm not knocking oil but dont stray away from what originally worked, Great video Melinated Black Queen information is key
I still use grease to seal in moisture and moisturize my scalp, and my hair has begun to flourish 😭✨. No shame in my game, if it works it works! Don’t shy away from the things that have been working for us since childhood! Being natural is all about returning to our essence.. that includes returning to OG products lmao🤣❤️. Amazing video as always! I’m living for your entire aesthetic 😍
Brittany Washington use a shampoo with sulfates in it. A sulfate free shampoo will not remove the grease. Something like Aussie Moist, Suave, Vo5, I personally use Mane and Tail
I remember back in the day when hair grease was used on the hair and scalp nobody suffered from balding and alopesia. I will always use grease as long as I live. I tried using just oils as a sealant and wasting money on products that just didn't work. You and your hair are beautiful by the way.
Gorgeous 😍😍 I used the Indian hemp since rediscovering it from my childhood. The smell is so nostalgic. My cousin who’s natural scolded me for using it so I stoped but my hair felt so moisturized
I was wondering why my daughter hair was so dry,after my oil concoction,and all the natural hair shampoo and conditioner that a bought every time I watch a tutorial,I was going crazy,so one day I didn't have money to buy the camille rose collection, so I end up buying aussie, blue magic, and someone told me about dark and lovely AU Natural curl defining glaze,I never looked back since,even the color come back in her hair nice rich black hair, even after protective braids for a week or two, she still have moisture, so you right do what works for you,I no longer watch natural hair tutorials regarding hair products, only for styles
I noticed the same thing with my daughter and i have been considering for months now going back to greasing her scalp the old school way. After going to all natural products I've struggled to keep her hair moisturized and have been unable to retain length like when she was younger. And she's a 4b/4c hair type. When she was younger i used blue magic and Frenchee's (same thing i used growing up) and never had this problem. Now, i love the natural tea tree shampoo we use, as it helps keep her scalp from being Itcy and i do use aloe vera treatments but I'm definitely going to go back to greasing her scalp and doing protective styles with grease and just see how it goes.
@@tjfintrade yes,try my products that I mentioned and see if it works for you,and put her hair in protective styles,that will make her hair grow and retail length
I bought some blue magic a few months ago and I've been on the train ever since, it's changed my life it's finally kept my hair moisturised. Like I did all the things the natural hair gurus said and didn't use it, I got the blue magic and my hair has been growing like crazy
If you’ve used grease and it dried out your hair, that’s because you didn’t apply grease to hair that was moisturized in the first place. Grease is a SEALANT and seals in whatever moisture is in your hair so it doesn’t escape so easily. Do not blame grease for dry hair please.
When I was little all my mom used was grease and water on my hair and I grew lot. It was only when I got older and went natural that I heard ppl saying grease was bad. SMH! I started using it again after my second big chop 2yrs ago. My Hair is growing great now! BTW You're Gorgeous!😍
J P my mom said the same thing. She was like, “my momma used grease and I had hair down my back!” She uses the one in the red can with the silver top. And I mix Vaseline in with lotion on myself and my kids. 🤷🏾♀️
Me too! I have never been able to come back from that! Why did I ever want a relaxer in middle school? It has never been the same. It has been a JOURNEY to get it past my shoulders!!!
Hey guys!! Watch my vid and talk to me in the comments! I’ll post time stamps later but ya girl is hanging out with one of her best friends soooo bear with me 🤣! Love you and lemme know what you think!
Pearl Ervin when it’s free, YES! Every 7-10 days I wash my hair and I deep condition but I’ll make a full series about my hair care regimen. I just need some time to do it veeery well.
I’m really struggling with single strands knots, i wash in twist or i hold it stretched but i seem to get knot at every stage of wash day and when my hair drys.. any tips please
I just recently started using hair grease on mine and my daughter's hair. I couldn't take how dry my hair was and nothing seemed to fully moisturize. Grease has been a game changer and a lifesaver!❤
That is exactly what was used on my hair as a kid and my hair was so long thick and beautiful. Along with a hard bristle brush. Also being braided and left alone.
The hard brittle brush stimulates hair growth. In cosmetology school, we were taught that brushing your hair with a hard brittle brush every night increases growth potential. Just be careful around your edges.
I've been using Blue magic with Jamaican Catrol oil. Its great for my 4C hair. Its better if you put it on your scalp at night, twist your hair and put a silk headscarf on.
KABIR Haqque that’s where the word came from though. The slaves were forced to use pig grease for their hair which kept it somewhat healthy. There’s nothing wrong with it.
Blue Magic Bergamot is an absolute staple in my hair care regiment. Dr. Bonner’s Castile Peppermint Soap is my favorite. My second favorite is the tea oil one. 💙
I just asked my mom what did she use as a kid to make my hair grow her response was simple grease and water it worked then so I tried it now. It still works
Our hair flourished when we used grease as kids, so it makes sense that it will work now. I recently switched back to grease and my hair is loving it!!!
Finally someone telling the truth. I was raised with my mom using grease on my hair and I always been told my hair is healthy and looks like a wig. I briefly stopped using grease and returned
I know they lied. I purchased Blue Magic because I was using oils in my hair and it was making my scalp itch like crazy and my hair was constantly white flaking. As soon as I added Blue Magic back to my hair supplies and stopped using oil my scalp stopped itching non stop.
I went back to grease myself. The last time I used grease was back in high school when I used to press my own hair. My mom used to do just water and Blue Magic or water and Vaseline and brush my hair and put it in two ponytails. I had long hair when I was a kid and my mom for whatever reason took me to a salon and they gave me a perm and cut all my hair off! I just went back to my beautician about a month ago now and had her trim my ends because I had health issues. I thought my hair was jacked up. Nope she blew it out and it was long! She cracked open the Blue Magic grease and the smell took me back! My natural hair is so long and it didn't lose moisture at all. I had it straight for over 2 weeks. It wasn't greasy at all. That's what sparked me to come back. Also my hair grew 1/2 an inch in 2 weeks. I've never seen it grow so fast. So I'm back in the grease game. 😁
Thank you! The natural hair community has conditioned us to believe the old hair regimens used by our mothers and grandmothers is unhealthy. My mom BRUSHED my hair and used GREASE. My hair was the longest and healthiest.
I love grease! I spray my hair with green tea, then seal it with grease and my hair stays moisturized longer than any oil I've ever used. Plus, it is easier to detangle my hair. My hair is now to my middle-lower back because of it.
Halo2glitchlover22 there are literal books and blogs about how mineral oil “clogs pores” when in fact it’s one of the few oils that does NOT. That was a lie... what else do you call thatv
Girl!!! You saved my life. I am transitioning and wash day and detangling has been beyond drama! I got some grease and now i can actually comb my hair. I tried everything and it didnt work. I have very dense think hair that I love but the maintenance was stressing me out. Thank you! I was able to the business of enjoying my hair. Thank you
I'm so gad i listened to you!! I had struggled with itching scalp and retaining moisture, and ever since when I went back to grease my scalp and hair have never been better! My hair is sooo soft and moisturized, and my scalp no longer itches like cray plus my hair has been growing like crazy
I'm ol' skoo I never gave up hair grease😍. Hair Grease is life❣ I grew up in the 1960's and 70's and most of us had Healthy nice hair. If it wasn't healthy it was overprocessed from relaxers and broke off.
🤦🏾♀️ I been thinking the same thing like when I was young my mom kept my natural hair up... wash at least twice a month and kept blue magic on deck!!! My hair was so full and long😭 I'm going back cause my scalp be hella dry and I have a two yr old son he the same bought to put my boy on. bye bye oils Blue magic I miss you here I come!!
Some of us cannot use grease in our hair, my mother, for instance. But I, on the other hand, can and must use grease or some other moisturizer on my hair.
Yes! I tried to go back to using grease, but my hair and scalp has never been made for grease. It actually causes bad itchy scalp and dandruff for me...and it dries out my length. I wish I could use it, but it never even worked for me as a child.😭 Pink Lotion was my thing! 😂😂😂😂 I would use that on my length and nothing on my scalp. I have a naturally oily scalp.
I was'nt even half way through this video and i got up and went straight to the store in the mall here where i work and got my BLUE MAGIC...as kids my dad would always buy this..up until now he still does. And now i will continue...back to basics!!💙
I'm actually appalled that some of these natural sisters shun grease. When they give me the look of disgust I'm thinking to myself , " Hell, that's what your mama used when you were a 'lil girl?". Folks kill me:( Whether I'm permed or natural, grease has never lead me astray. Blue Magic, Royal Crown, Ultra Sheen are all staples for me.
Yes I think if we recall the quality of our hair when our mamas greased our scalps people wouldn't be so quick to turn their noses up to using grease. Most of us had thick, long and healthy hair growing up and our mamas weren't using oils. #greaseworks #thesenewfolks
sbostic08 it simply worked, no other options were “needed.” 😂. However, people without kinky hair will not need grease. It will weigh it down if it’s heavy. Have to find what works for your hair.
You know, when I was younger, (like from 2 years old to 8 years old), my mom used to put grease in my hair all the time and I NEVER had problems with my hair. But once I switched to oils instead, my scalp has been itchy non stop. Grease, here I come.
I love how grease made my hair feel, I just hate how grease feels when its gettingon everything else! Everybody remembers being embarrassed by touching your hair or scratching your head and then leaving grease marks on everything! Your pillow is greasy, your clothes get grease on them. I wish there was a product that did what grease did for hair but without getting everywhere.
I'm a type 4 natural , and I absolutely love blue magic and hair grease periodt!! My hair is so prone to breakage and dryness. Hair grease seals my hair and keeps it moisturized for weeks!!! I also suffer from severe eczema and petroleum based products are the only thing that keep my skin from cracking and keep me comfortable. I love your content. New subscriber🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
WOW! I remember when I was a kid, my mom use to wash my hair with Pantene. When she was done she would blow dry it and use a mix of oils and sealants to braid it. We would keep my hair in twists for like one month (without co washing) and then we would take it out and wash it again! My hair use to be about butt length. I miss it. These days everyone is saying not to blow dry your hair or not to use Pantene. Everyone is always saying that you need curl custard or she a moisture hair sets. I have wasted so much time and money! 😣 And my hair is dry and brittle and has not grown an inch in the past 4 years 😣😣😣
Ugh this video has been floating around on my recommended list recently and I'm so glad I clicked on it! I have been recently thinking hard as to why these non greasy runny liquid hair products were doing nothing for my hair. And I have a THICK mane! So extra moisture is needed to keep it feeling and looking like it has life. Just the other day I just said F*** it and went back to using the blue grease my mum always used in my hair since I was a kid and boooy it looks and feels so good! I'm almost considering chucking out my Cantu/Shea products and go back to what I know
😂 I love this... I stopped using grease because I was hearing bad things when I went natural... As I was rubbing black castor oil on my scalp I was like... "This is thick like grease" and my hair has been responding well to it. So I'm going back to grease lol for sure... My scalp was dry and my hair wasn't growing.
I used grease on my natural hair up until I had my big chop & went natural. Definitely noticed a stunt in growth compared to when i was using grease. Looks like I’m going back to grease!! With better cleaning techniques
I turned my nose up at grease when my partner recommended it, now I swear by it! I’ve wasted so much $$$ on hair products because 4b/4c ppl recommend it.
My daughters hair was breaking real bad. Every time she grew an inch, she lost an inch. So I put her on grease and whatever moisturizer she wanted and her hair is doing much better. Once all her bad ends are gone I think her hair will really flourish.
