DEFINING MY NATURAL HAIR WITH ONLY VASELINE & WATER?!!! I AM BEYOND SHOCKED 

Where did you buy that spray water bottle?

4c hair has become such a mystery to our generation, you'd think it's as new as Instagram. We all had thick, natural puffs in our playground days when we'd spend Sunday afternoons between our mother's legs as she cared for our hair. Back then no one worried about getting the perfect "twist outs" or doing a million different things to reach "bra-strap length", we just worked with what we had and our hair thrived. Then came the media, relaxers, sow-ins, microbraids and hair damage, and now we're all searching for our way back to our place between our mother's legs. I just pray we learn to simplify things, learn to love the way our hair grows from our scalps and realize that 4c hair is uniquely beautiful. If not for ourselves, at least for our future daughters who deserve to grow up knowing they were made perfectly from head to toe.

I’m 10 years old I told my mom I wanted to do this she said okay got me the stuff I did it early in the moring I went to school and people who bullyed me loved this hair stlye /I’m 13 now😁

I grew up on Vaseline. From head to toe. When I did my big chop. I thought of using Vaseline to restore my hair from wearing wigs for years. It is amazing!!! My hair is growing longer and thicker!!! Sometimes it’s good to go back to ole school.

I've been using Vaseline all my life and it works better than the expensive products. The best perks is that it doesn't flake, defines your curls and leaves your hair soft🤎

I opened this video and the first thing I said was, “ omg she’s so pretty”. You are gorgeous.

sooooo this is what happened to all the damn vaseline.

I’m finna get the biggest jar of Vaseline that i can find💀

My Aunt Doris used only Vaseline on her hair until she passed at 88. She had a full and beautiful bush. I think we've learned some things since but there is a definitely a reason to explore the simplicity of the past. Thanks for this video!

Growing up Vaseline and water was gel Before I knew what gel was.

UPDATE: this lasted me all week. It didn’t mess up my pillows.. I sleep with a bonnet and tie it with a scarf so my hair is always secure! And the greasiness is only a lot on the first day I find. Day 3 was perfect! I used the Deva Curl Wash Day wonder to make the washing process easier. I honestly love the after effect of doing this though.. I feel like even after washing it out, my hair still felt soft. No issues on my scalp. No itchiness no flaking or buildup. Definitely do this sparingly! Will try mixed with eco styler next time!

Absolutely changed my relationship with my hair, like overnight. Thank you.

My husband is Nigerian and actually introduced me to this method!!! You don't need that much jelly. Just use like applying normal product, comb, and watch it curl. It will also be very glossy!!!

Shhh 🤫 they’ll go up on the price of Vaseline. It’s very pretty.

We are quarantine over here watching hair tutorials with my hair looking a mess

My mom used to only use two things in my hair that made it go down my back:Neutrogena T Gel and vaseline. I use it now, and my hair is growing back. I use it on my scalp and hair strands. It makes it super soft. I don't stress my hair out, either. New motto:"Stretch, don't stress"

Update!! It actually works I have two braids out!! QUEEN YOU HAVE HELPED ANOTHER QUEEN!!! It definitely works on 4C hair!!

your hair came out too cute but I would be to scared personally. Me and my hair still going through problems and trying to build our relationship we once had so I don't wanna piss her off with a vaseline trial right now. Maybe next year when she is on my good side.

i love how you are so excited for your hair

For all those who are worried about staining their pillows::: I use a lot of oils in my hair and they DO STAIN my pillow cases, BUT that’s why I only use WHITE pillow cases. At the end of the week I just toss them in the wash with hot water, add bleach and perfect! Good as new with ZERO stains! Hope that helps!

If you remember Hair Rep, Royal Crown, Ultra Sheen, Alberto V05, Pro-Line Hair Food, Sulfur 8 or just plain old Crisco, give me a thumbs up!!! LOL🤣🤣 Vaseline, yaaaaasss...a black household staple. Love this❤

I thought of this sometime ago.I remembered the good old days and our hair was so nourished and thought of going back there because these expensive products ain't working for me the way it works for the RU-vidrs. Thank you so much for doing this video.

I am going to wash my hair tonight and try this God bless you Queeny and your work is informative and life changing because I love my hair

Vaseline is also healing...I’ve got eczema on my scalp and Walmart brand Vaseline helped the flare ups. Also, my hair grew back in bald spots.

Yes ma’am! Vaseline, cup of warm water and good brush and we had hair down our backs!

Honestly, I know a lot has been negatively said about Vaseline being made with petroleum and all, but thinking about it everybody on the African continent uses Vaseline on their body everyday and it fights ashy dry skin more than anything else. There are no alarming skin conditions or skin cancer and don’t all our Black boys have the most beautiful hair! They only use Vaseline most of the time!

I know this would work on my hair because I’ve always used Vaseline for my lashes and cuticles and they look amazingly healthy now!! Idk why I’ve never thought to use it in my hair??🤦🏾‍♀️

I’m so glad I’ve come across this video. We’ve all become so absorbed by this “natural hair movement” with their expensive products we’ve forgotten our roots and what really kept our hair healthy and strong growing up. *runs to hair shop to buy Vaseline and blue magic*

That was truly “old school”, I’m 66 and I remember my mother using Royal Crown hair grease, a brush and a glass/cup of water to fix my hair. And it would be so pretty. Wow..who knew!!👍🏽

Tysm for this video like I needed this so much!!!!

I'm African-American and my hair is very long. I use Lilly of the Valley organic aloe vera juice (whole leaf), Okay brand castor oil and nourish organic shea butter. I just started washing my hair with only water basically at night I usually pour mountain valley spring water on my hair and use it on my face (best anti-aging secret ever!).

My mom used water, detangling spray and grease on my hair and it was soft and long af. Nowadays everyone wants to buy expensive natural hair care products while forgetting where they started.

Your natural hair is gorgeous (before and after) and so under appreciated especially by the media!!

Hey Love from South Africa

Definitely trying this asap! Thanks for sharing Kaay!

I want to try it but whoooooo chile..... the pimples that would pop up on my forehead

Yes very old school. we called it grease water and a hard brush. works every time.

I love Vaseline & water for the back of my hair (if it’s super short) ONLY during the day NEVER when I’m sleep because it’s too oily! Back in the 80s. Warm water and Vaseline then brush it in whatever direction and curls POP! Yes sitting under a hair dryer works great!!

I do something similar, but right after washing my 4C hair. First I condition the hair with the amazing smelling Jansyn's moisture max conditioner. You can towel it somewhat try with a tee shirt (after washing thoroughly clean with any old store bought shampoo). If you want to great the hair a litle, you can turban it with the team shirt and sit for about a half hour to let the conditioner absorb more and soften the hair more. I wash my hair in the shower, so after the half hour, I'll disrobe from my warm terry cloth garment, and re-enter the shower to wash out the conditioner. Use warm, not not water. You'll find that the hair is untangled and easily combed through with a wide-toothed comb. Re-wrap your hair with the teeshirt and dry yourself off thoroughly. I like to use CremeofNature Twist and Curl pudding to further soften the hair. Comb a moderate amount through you entire hair while it's still fully damp. Next I'll work through a moderate amount of Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey, which has approximately the consistency of vaseline, not as greasy and nicely scented. Final step is to keep a water spray bottle handy and begin to bring forth the coils exactly as you see in this video. It works, with hardly an residue and no need to blow dry if you have a couple hours to let it sit dry before you leave the house. You'll have a good-looking and smelling head of hair that will not lose it's look for three of more days. I suppose you can spray and add more product as you go along before your next shampoo. But you will have great hair that doesn't smear oil on your clothes or pillow. Perhaps I will substitute vaseline (not nearly as much) the next time just to see if I am just as happy with the result. Surely it's a less expensive method, but since I use moderate amounts of my products, they last month's so cost is not an issue. Good luck.

You have blessed so many people with this video! Thanks for this!

I keep the conditioner from the shower on my hair, I don't care what people say THAT is MY wash and go, I have a toddler. I don't have the time. 😂

OMG I stumbled on your video and I am SO glad that I did. I am DEFINATELY going to try this. I have 4C hair and in certain parts of my head I swear it feels like 4Z (lol). I've spent SO much products on my hair trying to find something that works but as soon as anything wet hits my hair, the voices of my ancestors come a singing! I was even praying asking GOD to help me figure out what works for my hair. I pulled out my Fro butter (the one that says that it's made with Emu oil..yikes). It has the consistancy of Shea butter. I put that on and my hair feels great BUT I want shiny curls. AND BOOM, POW, hear floats your video...lol...I will be trying this first thing in the morning. Thank you for reminding me of what our parents used on our hair (my mom used all kinds of stuff and our hair looked KEPT!). At any rate, THANK YOU AGAIN. YOU look beautiful and I love the results.

Looking for a simple hairstyle for the graduation and it looks like I just found it .....thnx girl 🥰

What kind of 2025 spray bottle is that??? Imma get myself one 😏😏

4c hair plays by different rules. My hair doesn’t have a curl pattern like that but that’s pretty much what I did to my hair when it was lose. Grease and braid it down. That’s how you maintain moisture as length. It be a little sticky at first but like you said over the days it’s absorbs and when I used other combination of more complex things they just don’t work or have adverse effects. This is nice and simple and works. It looks good too

I can't even with how beautiful it came out!!

Kaay,.. No waaay !I'm watching this 2020, and damn that's fantastic to watch the curls just forming,..its beautiful, and yeeeaaah gets the job done!

There are a lot of people on here telling her this may cause build up and it may clog her pores etc. let her use what she wants to use everyone’s hair is different and what works for her may not work for you and that’s okay 👌🏾.... if you want to only put natural products in you hair do so... but I’m not sold on Vaseline or grease not working I know people used it back in the day and their hair was just fine and long....I know that’s the only way you could press hair when I was little and people had hair down their backs so to each it’s own....everyone is saying what she should use but no one is offering her money to buy the “more natural products” Ijs no shade no hate just on some real ish! 💯🤷🏽‍♀️

I love this video for one main reason: you are doing what you want with your hair! I feel like so many natural hair youtubers feel pressured to follow methods that everyone else are doing that they are afraid to try things with their own hair. It’s nice to see be real and not take hair so seriously.

excellent video ! very articulate and understood every word my hair is not 4c but tried it anyway the results were fabulous!!!! My hair is shoulder length and thick I guess because it seals in moisture and helps control split ends you can retain length. Also lightly oil and massage your scalp with essential oil of choice. Leave serums,custards,leave ins,etc. alone. You know exactly what you're putting in your scalp/hair. Also super,super easy on the pocketbook 😊

My mom used Vaseline and water on my edges as well as Pink Oil Moisturizer and water. I went back to using that for my hair about two years ago... LOVE IT!

After watching this I decided to generously base my locks with Vaseline. RESULTS: Vas is the future.

This is what I do for my son.. He's Fijian kenyan and Italian. It's was crazy trying to figure out what would work for his hair. This works!!!!! I spray a water base mix then "lock" it with cocoa butter petroleum jelly and it's magical!

Is the reaction and excitement for me. ❤️👌🏾

Thank you for making this video. my hair will be thanking you in the future as well!

Cocoa butter Vaseline that's the one you should use for your hair,try twisting from roots ,don't put heat on it , works best when slept on the with silk to sleep let it dry naturally ,works for any length, preferably after you was while still damp

I dont care what they say vaseline is my go to. I use it to get a sleek bun look. It makes the hair soft. Honestly I really dont care if they see grease is bad. works for me

Chaiiiiiii this is more than I can express. I love this video and pls upload more

It's so cute btw. I love the curls

I remember I lost all my hair due to surgery and being in a coma... I used to having shoulder length hair. Anyway.. the Lord gave it to me to use Vaseline and water .. OMG...it grew so fast and thick. So Vaseline and water works.

I’m so jelly of you ladies with this hair texture. It holds styles beautifully. My hair will not hold a twist out to save my life! 😫 Within a hour it reverts back to its original curly state. Even when I had a perm. I rocked a flat sleek wrap. My hair wouldn’t hold curls then either. 😭

Loving that Melanin Queen👑. -Makaveli

Oh my goodness your hair looks so good I'm gonna try this 😘😍

Back in the day my mum used to set my hair with rollers, water and vaseline and once it dried it would both straighten and hold the curl for a whole week sometimes longer because it protected the hair from excess moisture in the atmosphere. I have not found anything that remotely tames my hair like that and prevents frizz. Although we did not apply that much. Just a small amount and never to the scalp

Yeye you saved me a lot of money. Like I ain't gotta buy lot of products 👌😊plus you very pretty Queen nerh nerh actually you a queen into a goddes

Lovely 😍 glad I came across this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️

grease and water does the same thing if anyone didn't want to use Vaseline! I like using the softee grease

I grew twisting my hair on Dax vaseline and water, I had thick, thick curly 4C hair, back then I did not know I had to love my hair and do all this fancy stuff like treating it and conditioning and it was still long and beautiful and still is, I Love my hair

I kinda developed interest in having curly hair recently. Luckily I found this helpful. Love ya!

This was an awesome video. It was confirmation! ♥️

Legit, as long as it works then it’s all good for me!💯 Tired of spending crazy money on products that don’t work and making DIY’s that don’t work either! 🙌🏾♥️

I remembered using Vaseline on my hair when I was younger. My hair was actually flourishing and was long.

I didn't have natural hair while growing up but I finally convincedmy mom to let me when I was 15. So I'm hearing of this for the first time and I'm so excited to try it out! I'm on braids now but when I take em out I'm definitely doing thisssss

Whoaa girl I'm here for that vacuuming spray WOW

Girl....VASELINE - I PUT THAT ISH' ON EVERYTHING!!! Seriously! Lol

😂😂😂😂 I just love how much fun you are having and how genuine your reaction is to your hair curling. 😂😂😂 Awesome!!!!

Girl you are an angel..... Thanks alot 🥰🥰🥰 miracle worker. You made me fall in love with my hair once more. Thanks!!

Wow I think this was the best video I have seen since today thanks for sharing

This is actually how I grew up. In the Caribbean. It's all I actually used until I met my wife and starting getting my hair professionally braided in this country. It seems that black women in this country tend to be over sophisticated when it comes to hair care. I'm going back to what I know. Thanks.

Vaseline has always been a go to for years especially for children because of its so safe. My mom used it on us in the late 80s and 90s until we were just over using it . Just like most stuff we just bring back what was already working. Glad you discovered it.

What the!!! How what how?!! That's amazing

Wow!🤯 Have been looking for solution to my natural hair I'm definitely trying this right away 💯 You're a life saver 💕😘

Who else is here after 7 months and is enjoying watching this video 😁😁😁

Lol you better not be lying cuz i'm about to try this😂😂

Love this so pretty 💕❤️

My mom use to mixed mines with glovers mane and also put my hair in little twists as a little girl. I just now restarted that method cause just like you I was also getting tired of doing a lot to my hair🖤.

OMG FINALLY! My grandmother used to put vaseline and warm water in my hair when i was younger. Worked wonders!

When you said "I'm tired of redoing my hair every day" I felt that in my soul LMFAO and I'm going to try this method cuzz last week, I just wore head wraps. It was too cold to be doing my hair.

wow girlfriend you just did some magic with your hair & it looks great

I have noticed the benefits of petroleum jelly. I have tried my hair with and without it, and it seems way better with it. Thanks for sharing your experience.

True story... Royal Crown hair grease is what I used as my hair made its way back from relaxed to natural. It still comes in the red paper/cardboard container with the silver lid. Royal Crown is nothing more than petroleum jelly with a mild scent added. I continue to use it after my hair completely transformed because I like the level of moisture it provides. See, this GA girl was raised up on Royal Crown hair grease, but I abandoned it at age 18 when I started wearing relaxers. Was skeptical when my sis in law suggested Royal Crown 2 years ago when I began my pilgrimage from processed to natural. She witnessed my struggle with different products that weren't working. Okay now taking her advice... Well, you know, I've lived and traveled over the years and considered myself a little worldy...so this Diva going back to Royal Crown? I reluctantly did and am so happy I did. Whoever said you can't go home again Lied!! I wear "protective" styles, ie sew-ins, braids, wigs, constantly switching up. I think after 2 years I now have a length I find manegeable so I can wearr my natural hair more often.

Oh my goodness!! I've been natural for only 3 months and didn't even think about this. Water, castor oil, and vaseline was the only products that I would use on my kids hair when they were young. Their hair grew so much and stayed healthy. Only difference was, I melted the vaseline and small bottle of castor oil together and put the mixture back into the vaseline container to settle. Their grandmother told me about how to do it. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Wow...thanks for opening my eyes sis....I’m definitely trying this! 👌🏾😄

I love the way your hair gets curls naturally lol!! Wonderful work ❤️

I've never seen someone so shook!!!! I'm SO trying this

Vaseline (petroleum jelly) was commonly used on our hair as well as Lard growing up. I used vaseline and water on my daughter's hair for twisting and braiding. Today, at age 29 her hair is long and healthy, no perm and no pressing.

I think you're right. Your hair looks texturized with the water and Vaseline. I was concerned the white grease look that I gotten from Murray's Pomade would not absorb, but it looks like it did with the heat. Great job, beautiful. Thanks.

Looks great!!grease and water is really all we need,, also your hair looked great in the back ,,beautiful hair.
