How to Make Hair Grease

The lanolin/Vasoline/mineral oil formula is precisely what my gramma and mama used on their hair and mine. Ma even used it to press my hair. I’ve been natural since 1988 and after using every store bought natural hair product known to man, three years ago I went back to my roots. Got this gray hair sparkling and old 74 yo scalp smiling. Kudos to you for passing the ancestral knowledge along. ❤❤

Agreed, grease ain’t goin nowhere for me either ! I’ve always used grease in my hair and have always had long, thick, healthy hair. 45 now, still super thick healthy hair 😊 . I love Ayurveda too

Yep as a kid sitting on the floor in between my mum legs as she greased my scalp and hair and braided my hair I'm 65 and grease ain't going no where we do what we do to care for our natural hair.

I'm so happy I found your channel! Excellent content!

Thank you so much, I’ve been searching for such informative video on grease for the longest. Love, love, love. New subscriber!!!

Wow. You look just like your mother. She was very beautiful. RIH ❤️🙏🏽

Since 2016 I've been back to using hair grease. Now I usually buy multiple at a time, at least two, because their so cheap and affordable. And because hair grease is so moisturizing I only need to apply it once or twice a week. They also last a long time, so I rarely have to purchase any new hair products at all. It's a win, all around for me. My hair grease is definitely here to stay. I came to the same assumption you did that myths and bad information was spread about hair grease to get us to stop buying it, to get us to buy these newer more expensive products and unfortunately we all fell for it, without any proof. We all grew up on hair grease as children and for most of us that was when our hair was the healthiest. Then all of a sudden we started hearing hair grease was bad and we went crazy. It's crazy these new products be charging 15 dollars for one product that's only 8 ounces and will only last a couple of weeks. Yet I can easily buy 3 twelve ounce jars of hair greases for that same 15.00 dollars and have all three products last me over a year, maybe more. Hair grease definitely got a bad rep so that other companies could get our dollars instead. I'm so convinced of this.

That's a how I infuse my oils. I always sit mine in my crock pot. I looovvveee it 🤗🥰

Your hair is gorgeous!! Great video!!!

... heading to the website to place an order for hair grease!! 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️

Very good tips

I have been thinking about this and I searched the tube to see if anyone was out there who thought the same way. Thank you very much. No naysayers will EVER take me away from grease. If it ain’t broke, I ain’t gonna fix it.

I love it

Facts I’m trying to learn how to make grease myself

You did it!!!!💛💛💛

Kudos to you on this. I will buy it because I don't know how to make it.

Thank you so much for sharing. Your hair is gorgeous 😍

You are a lifesaver I have been working on my Grease for forever and these were the missing keys I was using a shea butter base which is no good thanks again

Thanks for sharing and confirming what my mother has also told me, hair grease is good just got to know how to use it. I wondering, what waxes would be idea for humid weather, (NW Florida) to be exact? It will get cold here but its not until January that we'll experience some real cold weather, our winter's are nothing like Chicago's. Wonderful tutorial and thanks for sharing some of your ingredients, it's much appreciated. 👍😊

I absolutely LOVED this video! My grandmother and mother used nothing but Vaseline or crown royal and shampoo. Both could sit on their hair. My mother is in her 70’s and my grandmother lived till she was 92 with few health problems. However, we got away from it like you said, because of marketing and greed (Hair grease is cheap!). I’m going back to it. I’m wondering which do you prefer more- Vaseline, beeswax, or lanolin? I thought about purchasing 100% pure lanolin used for leather conditioning for my hair but it’s a lot more expensive than plain petroleum and wondering if it was worth it. You have a great Ayurvedic herb stash- I’m slowly building mine lol. Thanks again! Such great information.

Thank you! 🥰

I love this! New subscriber!❤️❤️

Yooo I just used your hair grease (arrived in the mail this week). My hair has never felt or looked this great and it's so moisturized! Definitely 4C certified 😊.

Thank you so so much

Exactly Sis, ise grease to seal in moisture!

Wow... I like Ur hair

Excellent video

Thank you for your wealth of knowledge and the wonderful ingredients. I'm actually learning all that I can so that I can make my own brand of hair oils and promades. There is a demand for natural products as a lot people of colour like myself are now embrassing the beauty of our natural hair. Stay blessed.

Great video

Thank you for this video, it really helped my grease diy Jouney. Went a step further and add to different powders to my grease, like alma,, they can not be heated. When it was all done, it had like a fine grit to it. What should I add to take away to make it not gritty. I'm still using it, praying it will not break my hair.

Love me some Dax grease

You used 2 ounces of Lanolin, but what was the weight of the final product? In other words, what percentage of the final product was the lanolin? Apologies if you already mentioned this in the video. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Great content!🌺💞🌺💞

I really enjoyed watching this video and learned a lot! I been feeling like I want to go back to grease, idk why the natural hair movement demonized it so much lol. I definitely want to make my own ❤ I have locs tho and I thought I could use it to seal in the moisture after spraying water on my scalp? Is that using it correctly? I don’t like oils all in my scalp

Look at how shiny her hair is

I love your content!!!! question.. if you use an aloe plant, do you need a preservative solution?

Hey great video I learned alot and I wanted to make my own grease also. Could you tell me where u got ur pure lanolin from. I hv all these herbs at home and I'm not buying anymore store brought grease when I can make my own and know what's in it. Lol. Thank you

This is wonderful, but when do you add the mineral oil and how much?

Can please tell me if it’s ok to grease my scalp with your grease and can I use AFRICAN black soap to clarify wash day.

Awesome video you didn’t put in the description box your website I would like to buy some I live in Savannah Georgia

Hi do you have any recommendations for babies with very dry scalp and skin, what wax and oils are safe ingredients

Do you know of any vegan alternatives to lanolin that you would add with the candelila wax to maintain that soft texture?

Ms. Elaine what was the ingredient that you didn't show us. The ingredient in the small brown container.

Thanks Ms. Elaine! Can I add rose leaves in my herbal oil? I love making herbal oils and I want to add Organic rose leaves for the smell.

Question. How would I use the diatomaceous earth in my oil mixture to get infuse it. I have a whole bag. I take it orally once a week. But I usually make a hair mask with it and wash it out. I just can't figure out how to add it to my oil mixture. Thank you in advance. I have kelp, alfalfa, horsetail, henna powder, amla oil, I have a lot of herbs for hair and body. I will be waiting for your response 😊. Have a peaceful and blessed night 🙏🏾

I would love to order the grease without the aloe Vera oil and castor oil. Is that possible?

Thanks so much. Can I add sulphur ...what extra benefit will that give me. Thanks again. Also ,you didn't add mineral oil ,does lanolin suffice ...are we to use only one of the two?

Just came across this video, and I’m ironically trying to make a hair grease.. lol but it is coming out like hair grease soup.. I tried with the bees wax but it solidify’s .. so I guess I have to let my grease get up to room temperature or something idk.. I guess I should just buy some from you

where can i purchase that pure lanolin? 😍

Love your channel. I was wondering what oil do you have your herbs in. Or how did you manage to extract your herbs without using alcohol . I am interested in trying to make my own.i would very much appreciate an answer as I am not a chemist.

Is Optiphen Preservative a good preservative?

Your mom was pretty. I actually wish you did include petroleum jelly in your grease. It is the ingredient in grease that works. Waxes make my hair hard.

Hi Who makes your labels Have a great day

First 👀

What happened to the lecitin?

Where do you get your lanolin from

Is it necessary to add the lanolin? Or can i just use the oil and wax?

Does anyone have a time stamp on this video? I would like to get to the part with Bees wax. I can’t watch 20 plus minutes 😩

A lot of people need to watch this video. Because a lot of people always talking about how bad grease is but they don’t use it correctly. Most oils shouldn’t go directly on the scalp. Also some people have unhealthy scalps and they swear they don’t need to clean their scalps because the dirt “build up” helps it grow. Meanwhile their hair is above their shoulders. And no you don’t necessarily need to cleanse the scalp very often like you mentioned. But for some it is a preference or a must for most. But a lot of people that have poor routines and unhealthy scalp need to handle the scalp problems first before deciding not to wash their scalp frequently. And for the “grease causes acne” part. Those people that say that don’t even take care of their bodies. They have unhealthy eating habits and poor hygiene and home cleaning habits. Grease doesn’t cause acne. Filth, hormone problems, and eating habits cause acne. I’ve heard every hair tip and advice out there on RU-vid but I never heard this correct information at all. This should be the top video for all these so called hair gurus or “naturals”. Because grease is good. At least when I was a small child I didn’t have any problems with it.

Respect…our ancestors had it right.

What is your hair type? If you don’t mind me asking

I have that Lanolin made by DAX but it itches scalp and it has never done that before. Even the royal crown is to😱 I'm FLABBERGASTED about that. So I have been looking into making my own hair grease. My mom used to make our grease back in the day. Now for the past year or so I have been getting dandruff from the grease. I need to make my own. May you give me some tips. Thank you 💝☺️ peace and blessings 🙏🏾🌹👑

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Can I use Shea butter instead of oil ?

What are some preservatives that you would recommend?

I have question Im just asking how come you didn't add any Coconut, Avocado or castro oil?🤔

When I try to go to your website to make a purchase.. I get a notification that this is not a safe site? Not sure why, I would really love to purchase some of your products like the honey quencher and the hair grease🤷🏿‍♀️

where did you get your labels

have you ever heard of JAM? if i use the candelia wax, would it create that same consistency?

Wait ….. wasn’t that too hot 🥵 I guess not…. I think I would wanna use cocoa butter or Shea butter

How do you order? What is the website

Where can you buy lanolin

Pls what's d important of hair grease?

How they get lanolin from the sheep?

Diomateceous Earth? 😯

I'm not trying to speak against anyone else's ideas of the synthetic uses of the above stated products. But from the experiences of myself and friends around me and family members especially when it comes to mineral oil. It has no way to enter into the pores properly and it eventually cakes up on the skin especially the scalp also back in the day there were many reasons for why black people of certain areas we're not washing their hair as often as we are today. They did not have what we have today as far as accessibility to products that are healthy for our hair. So they used what was available. There was not much education either. Also I noticed when using certain things eventually you produce a smell and when you put your fingers in your scalp and rub it you can smell whether or not your hair needs to be washed and your scalp needs to be thoroughly cleansed. When applying certain heavy products and to go for long periods of time without washing your hair you can only imagine the smell that can come from a person's head at that point. If I can give an example I would say pink moisturizing lotion was one of the most widely used products on the hair and if that product was not washed out within days from using it you would walk around smelling like old stale garbage or some type of old wax that was left in the sun too long. That kind of old greasy smell on top of the person's personal scent it can be overwhelming. I would like to look into the more natural elements of products for black hair, I like the fact that we get to learn more than one way to produce a hair wax or hair grease or hair pomade. I guess when it comes to kitchen chemistry we need to take great notes make sure they are detailed notes and ensure that the measurements are on point. And one last thing, Ensure that before exposing the product to the world that you have experience in the use and time with such products. I've seen some people come out on RU-vid and say oh well this is my first time making this product but they will talk about it as if they have years of experience with using it. So I really do appreciate you coming out with this information because it appears that you do enjoy putting together something that works for yourself and sharing it with us and hope that we too can learn something, thank you.

How to purchase?

Which one of those ladies was your grandmother? You look just like the lady on the left!!

Can you write the recipe please?

Do your research on mineral oil. We didn't have the knowledge then that we have now. Those same people that used it then over the years were sick later. Mineral oil is not good for you. Neither is petroleum jelly. But it's your choice Ayurveda means ingredients that were natural and not changed also used in the Indian scripture. So your grease is not ayurvedic.
