I was born in the 70's and grease is what grew my hair down my back. Your hair would grow faster and longer by using it. Besides that, y'all young people do too much too your hair. It would also grow faster if you left alone. When I was younger, my mother washed my hair like once a month. Now I some people gonna say that my hair was dirty. Well that's another reason why my hair was down my back. Old school is the best..
My hair was down my back at age 7. My mother would wash and press my hair every two weeks, couldnt go outside until my hair was fix. Ahe had a friend Ms. Gloria that started pressing my hair in her kitchen. My hair was long and thick. I couldnt do my own hair until I was 16.
I use the green grease for my daughter. I notice a huge difference in the way her hair absorbs water when wash day comes around. She's low porosity and it used to take a looooooong time for her hair to really be wet. Now after a shampoo you can tell her hair retained most of the moisture from the previous wash because it doesn't take as long. It's almost like the grease also works as a pre-poo. The shampoo takes out the grease and dir, but it's not stripping the moisture from the hair like it used to.
@@HisNameIsUnique idk if they have their own shampoo. I've always used Aussie Moist shampoo for her hair because it doesn't strip as bad as most shampoos. I hate constantly switching products, so I stuck with it and just tried adding blue magic to the regimen after seeing another RU-vidr start using it again.
YASSS!!!!!! girl i use the green one too please tell me you use it for your hair too that shit is amazingg green one my fav especially for people who have breakage !!
I still use blue magic blue & green jar just for greasing my scalp. My scalp stays moisturized longer. I've never use those b4.. Thanks for sharing: stay blessed😍
I have 4c hair & i've gotta say that the blue magic with castor oil is really good. Some may not like the fruity scent that comes with it, but it's really great for growing out edges. I get very little to no breakage when using it.
IITS WINTER, YOUR SCALP NEEDS OIL NOT GREASE. THATS THE REASON YOU SCALP IS DRY QUICKER. I have your same hair texture and I find that as the seasons change, I have to switch from grease to oils and from creamy moisturizers to lightweight options
I use the Softee Indian hemp as well and its the GOAT. I just tried the coconut oil by blue magic and that ones nice as well. I really wanna get my hands on the blue one and the Indian hemp by blue magic.
Blue magic!!! I grease my scalp and hair as well it makes my hair grow! everybody hair Is different!!.. #Grease put olive oil or avocado oil in it baby the growth
Well they're about to go up on the price now because everyone is about to buy them up lbvs. I'm natural myself and my mom used this in my hair as a kid. I've actually kind of forgot about this hair grease. Thanks for the video.. Going to go get me a few for me and my four daughters who've been natural their whole lives. You sisters have a blessed day/night.
How long have you been using blue magic in your hair. I have been using blue magic hair grease about 7 years and keeps my hair and scalp from becoming too dry.
Exactly!!🤣🤣🤣 This is nothing new it has been here they acting like Christopher Columbus this isn't a new discovery... I get criticized because I have 3b hair and I use grease but my hair is healthy and it is moisturized... petroleum has never been an issue for any hair type ..
@Fola Alli I really hate that so many don't want to put it in their hair but I lie to you not their are so many people other than black Americans using grease .. I love blue magic I will never stop using it
That's because nowadays these young mothers aren't combine hair anyone putting weave in there kids hair my girls did not start putting weave in there hair tell last two years of high school
@@robbinshamburger5065 I'm a young mother my self my children are natural and all have completely different textures of hair...but they all use African hemp blue magic and different oils lol
I've used it all and nothing was working on my hair. I went to a dermatologist and he told me my hair wouldn't grow back. Well, I listened and told my mother in law what he said and she asked me what did your gma use on your hair as a child, and I responded blue magic hair grease. Long story short, I got rid of the perm and went back to my blue magic and the rest is history. My center is still thin but it's growing and the doc said it wouldn't but "GOD" & Blue Magic🥰
Watching as I slap this Blue Magic on my scalp. Used it for years and when I stopped due to listening to natural hair bloggers I saw a significantly poor result in my hair.
Could definitely relate, spent so much money on unnecessary products only to get dry unmanageable hair, my mom only uses hair grease and her hair is luscious and so much length, she don't deep condition nothing, just wash and grease, I started using only grease and am actually seeing results
@E Spock well I don't like grease on my hair , really no type of hair products. I can't stand the feeling of hair products all in my hair . Lotion dries up though the reason I said pink lotion , hair grease gonna moisturize your hair and stay in it for at least 4 to 5 days. At least for mine .
Greases aren’t harmful for the naturals. I don’t know who brainwashed us into thinking that when we got our scalps greased as children lol. My grandmother greases her scalp every other night as she’s been doing for YEARS and her hair is beautiful.
I've come to realise with our natural hair less is more. Indian hemp with seedlike stuff in it was also awesome. Too many videos and products confusing and overwhelming Us. our hair is way more stronger than we give it credit for.
I'm just about over these "natural hair gurus" acting like our hair need 50 million rules to be maintained and grow. They are doing way too much and need to stop making it harder than it need to be. I used to get my hair pressed with Blue Magic and Royal Crown when I was a child and had no issues with my hair falling out or not growing.
iheartnola 504 well to be fair.. natural hair gurus are doing things for black beauty and wellness that weren’t being done before.. ( minus those who are perpetuating fraud)...young people of African descent are taking advantage of platforms that weren’t available in the 90’s and early 2000’s.....it’s really disappointing to hear 50 something year old people putting these young people down for very little thing that they do....these young ones are able to travel , communicate , and network better than ever before...it is odd for people to get annoyed when these young people talk about throwback hair dressing.. when they are doing something that you aren’t willing to do... you should be encouraging them not putting them down....
@@mauriceworthy7697 the only one being discouraged are people that would love to go natural but are turned off by Ill-advised "gurus" who make caring for your hair appear by harder than neccessary. For instance, I've heard several telling people that you should only wash your hair in cold water. Don't have a problem with advise but don't act like your hair is going to be damaged if washed in warm water. Especially when there are women, like myself who has been washing my hair in warm water for nearly 40 years, who experience zero negative consequences. I'm not going to go on with multiple examples but I think you get the point. This video is a prime example of passing on bad advice because when the whole natural hair explosion took off we were told not to use grease. So now it's a surprise to this young lady that it in fact may work for her hair. My point is that we need to be careful with what we are passing as facts. I have type 4 hair and I've been natural nearly my entire life (except during my early 20s). I have never had to take an entire day to do my hair. Some women will not go natural or if they do they go back to relaxers and sew-ins because of all of the do's and don'ts of natural hair care.
I disagree with you @ Fabrice Worthy, and u are bang on 504! I'm relatively young (35 loool) and I feel like the natural hair 'gurus' do over complicate looking after natural hair. It drives me nuts cos I put it off fir yrs. Going natural purely becos i thought it was too much work. Iv had relaxed hair since I was 9 yrs old and have now been natural for nearly 2yrs. My hair looks the best it ever has and I really dont have to overdo anything. Yes I wash and treat ofcourse but I dont use 10 millions products and all the extra add ons. It puts black girls off going natural and worse makes those that are going natural sercomb to 'protective styling' for 95% of the time.
iheartnola 504 you are deflecting.... it is inappropriate to paint all beauty gurus with a broad brush nor can you punish all gurus for the actions of other gurus...this young seems to be genuine, sincere and most importantly honest ... and you still come on her page...knowing that you cannot stand beauty gurus.. and put her down for not knowing the benefits of blue magic hair dressing products...she tells her audience upfront that she had bias against blue magic hair dressing products..I don’t sense any kind of arrogance or rudeness from this young woman... she is incredibly gorgeous and confident with her pixie Afro ...all I am saying is quit putting our young entrepreneurs down.. yes call out the scammers.. but don’t insinuate all gurus are scammers because they aren’t... everyone should be judged on their own merits ...
My mom has always used this. When she walks away from me in the store, I just sniff the air until I find her. Lol. Just kidding. But we have been using this for decades.
Blue Magic really grows my hair. I’ve spent lots of money on expensive hair products, as my 4c hair is extremely dry. This is cheaper , softens my hair, used sparingly does not leave my greasy as one would think. Hurray for old school
Here from the UK... Yep it works.. Now using on my son's hair who has really dry scalp. Put on when it's wet, add Blue Magic and blow dry... Works a treat!!
I remember going crazy for all these hair products. Never again, most of these hair company just want money. They claim their product will make your hair healthy and strong just to trick people. I use to have like 10 things now I cut it down to 4 products.
I signed up to one of those hair box company with monthly shipping to realise that it was the same price as if I BOUGHT them my self - will finish what I have- they are all the same
like every girl - it looks like the inside of a beauty supply store - from every brand you can think of- Aiming to finish al of the products- make a note of what works well, combining with other products that don't - so far nothing is that deep
For the longest, I couldn’t figure out why my natural hair wouldn’t cooperate-it would dry out and break off so easily (and I’ve been natural for almost 10 years-tried everything-hair type is 4a/4b). Ever since I started back on Blue Magic-my curls pop, growth is ridiculous, and my hair is thick. I never had success with Blue Magic when I was younger because my hair was overly processed (mom was giving us monthly relaxers and letting it sit until our hair was bone-straight-😑😑😑). So, I can’t personally relate to “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” for Blue Magic, but a lot of the girls I went to school with who had long & thick hair used it faithfully...gotta be some truth then.
Alexandra4real Just the one in the blue called “Conditioner Hair Dress.” I use it every 2-3 days on my scalp and as a sealant on my hair after moisturizing with “BB’s Oil Moisturizer with Castor Oil.” Some old-old school stuff. The curls literally will last you all week if you “pineapple” or use a silk cap-you just freshen up in the morning with your favorite oil and water mix (I used olive oil and regular tap H2O).
Halimah M I don’t really do wash and go’s because my hair frizzes by the end of the day (I have thin strands, but high density, & normal porosity). I do shingle method on damp hair with a water-based product first (BB’s Oil Moisturizer)-let that dry 75% and massage a quarter sized dollop of grease in my hands to lightly massage into my curls as a sealant. Finally, I dip my fingertips in the jar and massage in scalp/edges (I do scalp treatment every 2-3 days). Let me add that this combo does create some build up over the course of a week so I clarify/deep condition every 2-3 weeks and co-wash weekly. I barely have any shedding. “Photogenic Hair Care”-mandatory shingle method and Blue Magic in the blue to seal work wonderfully together too.
I used blue magic as a young kid and now. My hair has always been long & thick. Still long and thick. Oils does nothing for my hair. Yall sleep on it if you want!!
@American Born no I'm not the comment originator. I was saying when I initially read her comment, my mind auto-correct read it. I didn't even notice there was an error until you pointed it out 👍.
I just gonna keep it real. Thick coarse natural textures need hair grease!!! I feel that the only people that are mixed with softer textures can get away with not using grease. I followed the craze of the no grease bandwagon and boy did my hair suffer got brittle and dry no matter how much natural oils I used and co washed.
Girl, say it. My Dad's side of the family would use grease on my hair when they did it. So I had blue magic no my hair when I was little. However, after I became natural and I was researching, I heard all these horrible things about grease and did want to bother with it anymore. Well, Efik Zara turned me back on to grease, and I ain't never going back, ya hear? I ain't NEVA goin' back! LOL.
I have looser not super coarse curly hair. Grease holds the moisture better and makes it smooth. Keeps my split ends at bay. Love it. I use the castor oil blue magic. Might try the original blue one.
Im not sure why people are so amazed at Blue Magic and its been around for years! Im 44 and when I was a little girl and used to go to the beautician to get my hair washed and pressed she would use that on my hair. My hair was down my back. I still use it TO THIS DAY!! TO THIS DAY!!! 😂😂😂
I use it too. I'm surprised that I have to say at 43 years old, they're young and don't know it don't take all that product this and product that to take care your hair.
Yup that exactly what I’m saying!!! I’m 43 and got hella confused at all these thousands of of hair products in the beauty supply store!! Black woman are huge consumers of this and I feel a lot companies keyed in on that and that’s why black hair care is a billion dollar industry~ In the 80s and 90s it was a simpler cheaper time and I’d say Blue Magic was the go to product and our edges were in tact and I felt we did more damaging shit lol hot combing and them heavy ass dokkie braids lol but we still had our edges I repeat!! All this new shit is a scam to me so keep it simple 😊 Blue Magic Forever!! #GetyoJJFadon them chicks had real hair!!!
My grandmother could grow hair on a rock, she use to mix Royal Crown, Sulfur 8 Vaseline and Blue Magic along with other stuff I’m unaware of and we had long Beautiful healthy hair.
Cholesterol cream for conditioning and blue magic grease for styling were the two main products my mother used in my hair as a kid. All the products we used were pretty cheap and my hair was so healthy until I started relaxing it as a teenager. After two years natural, I decided to ditch the expensive products and go back to what we used as a kid. My scalp doesn’t itch anymore, my hair finally retains moisture and doesn’t look so frizzy
Ma'am thank you I'm about to get back to my roots!!! I've tried EVERYTHING! I've used a mix of Shea butter, coconut, Olive, tea tree and peppermint and my scalp STILL ITCHES AND IS DRY. My hair be so dry too and this after one day of putting it in. I be soooo pissed y'all lol. So I'm going back to using grease because it honestly never failed me. Listening to the natural community had me thinking it was soooooo bad ugh I was an idiot lol
Don’t feel bad most of us felt the same way I went back to blue magic , blue magic Indian help and bought the blue magic sure grow too I’m keeping it simple grease, water and maybe a leave in and I’m good and for maybe a wash and go gel 3 things that’s it
The oils can also cause itch scalp...especially police oil because it feeds yeast.....I just use oil frp.prepoo, I mix some in my grease..... Jamaican black castor oil I use it on the hair itself
I suffer from dry scalp and hair. I can style my hair, and the next day it’s dry. So I went back to using blue magic grease and my hairs stays defined and moistured for a week ! It helps me get better curl definition- and my styles last much longer. I personally don’t follow many natural hair rules, they stray from what’s actually helpful for our hair.
I just went back to Blue Magic a few months ago... it keeps my hair nice and soft! 😊... “Natural oils” do nothing for my hair itself! Scalp sure... hair HELL NAH!!! As a child I we used Sulfur 8... but I’m cheap so the Blue Magic is good!
@@semoneg2826 fast forward I don’t use any of it unless I am wearing twists or braids. I don’t use anything on my scalp anymore really. Except for wen I have braids I’ll use some oil. I love that shine! 😂
I went back to hair grease a 1 year ago. I use it as my sealant. Not only my hair stays moisturize for the whole week but It also keep my with length retain. I hate how naturals nowadays believe that it's bad for your hair. When that's the reason why most black girls who had long hair had long hair. If young black mother's today use it along with actually doing their daughter hair( not just keeping it in weave) more likely black girls would have longer hair. Most lil black girls I see nowadays have average length hair for a black girl.😬
simplycbh thank you!!! Exactly!!! I mean are we trying to keep away vampires or something?!?! And all that garlic eating and drinking it and putting it in your hair, can you give us tips on the smell and odor coming out your pores and skin?!?! Now that’s some valuable information we could appreciate!!! I can only imagine!!!! I don’t want to offend no one!!!! Priceless information us with that please?????
I’m always telling other naturals on other RU-vid videos to go back to hair grease but they don’t want too 🤦🏾♀️🙄 and they wonder why their hair hasn’t grown as much or barley does.
Yes! worrying about breakage and thinking it's because they need protein treatments when the hair IS protein. It is literally made up of protein. Grease is all I use.
@@fayepatrice1672 Im almost 40 and Ive been natural 36 years out of those 40. Shea is cool bc it's natural. It's made for our hair, skin, nails, etc.. It's all these so called "natural" brands that are making money and killing our beautiful hair.
My beautician back in the days would roller set my hair and before she combed it out, she would take a dab of the "Green Bergamot" and rub it on the curls before the comb out! I have not found a "Shine Product" to give you a "Pop of Shine" like that!
I stopped using anything pure and unnatural to moisturise my hair and after 7+ years I'm finally admitting to myself that my hair was at its best when I was using blue magic. So I find myself back in its clutches 😌 Will see how it goes this time around.
This is literally why I’m here. My hair thrived 2 years after a big chop and during Covid I was doing all types of styles and it was so long and thick. So I’m revisiting it after being a year+ out from dying my hair and growing out the color
I’ve switched back to blue magic about a year ago. I was tired of hard crunchy flaky products and honestly my wash and gos last Waaaaaay longer with the blue magic grease. I just make sure my hair is Moisturized with aloe Vera first then lock in that moisture with grease. Water and grease also gives me AMAZING curl definition I just make sure my hair is super de tangled first. The only thing is with a grease wash and go the first couple days you’ll want to wear your hair up bc it’s super greasy but after that it’s smooth sailing 🏄🏽♀️
Yeah but we all don't like greasy hair . Grease stay in my hair and I'll have to wash it . That's why I put it on my scalp . Idk about other but I hate greasy oily hair .
I’m so happy naturals today are going back to blue magic... these natural hair care products are so expensive. I’ve been using it for my natural journey and I love it! It makes my hair look better than any conditioner I have
I've never jumped on the expensive hair product trend... softee and blue magic is all I use.... I get all my hair products from Dollar Tree accept my Queen Helene cholesterol
I honestly don't know why so many people talk bad things about hair grease when it's literally going strong on sales and shelves. It's around for a reason...because it still works and it isn't going anywhere. It actually works so much better than so many of the natural hair products and would have disappeared a long time ago if it was such a bad thing.
I use Blue Magic on my daughter hair. People always comment on how beautiful thick healthy and long her hair is. And I can blow dry it... no breakage. Old school and the best method for children and me x
i never had a perm before and i stick to what i know. blue magic, BB lotion, and sulfur 8 are an old staple but they work wonders. people wonder how i could cut my hair short and it grows right back to where it was quickly. Those 3 things are a must have
It's amazing how 'grease' is back in. Remember when the community said it was the devil? Ha! Grease is my friend and my hair enjoys it. Unlike oils, I can go like a week without putting any moisture in my head.
Loca Baby Cashiers look at me crazy when they see me with grease🤣. I’m using softee brand castor oil since it’s lighter than blue magic. I got to find me a 64 oz jar to last the rest of my life.
I remember Blue Magic and Sulfur 8 in my childhood. It was a greasy childhood. It got more interesting on the days my mom used the hot comb on the stove 😩
Listen sisters go back to GOOD OLD SCHOOL PRODUCT,, DOI LISTEN TO THESE NEW SCHOOL INFORMATION,, REMEMBER WHEN EVER SUNDAY OUR MOM WOULD WAS OUR HAIR AND PIT THE BLUE MAGIC IIN ,, WHO REMEMBER docxs near Greece ,, not sure if I thought spell incorrect,but that was another ear crease most black women use back then and it was so healthyorder here mean a lot of moisture it's like a rose you have to keep water it, and our water is Grase
Yo Blue Magic is the truth. Like I always put my hair in a protective hairstyle and use wigs. I'm constantly mositurizing my hair.So when it was time for me to detangle and prepoo. It was such an easy detangling process. I wear twist then I braid the twist in a beehive and tuck my ends. I had my hair like this for 3 months of course still moisturzing and spraying . I had so much growth.
Can’t go wrong with Old School products. Our moms used it on our hair when we were young and most of us had really long hair 😊 I have been wanting to return back to using this.
Grease WORKS but with blue magic I can’t get past the smell. I’m using Kuza just bc I prefer the scent over blue magic. Also Kuza is VERY hydrating! I just wash and don’t even condition and this is enough for my 4c hair :)
Glad your acquainted yourself with these products. Its been around forever. That's all I use. We perm and weave too much and 4got what we used before them.
My grandma use to use blue magic on my hair with a hot comb. I rarely grease my scalp now cause it gives me dandruff, but an O.G product I'll still grab is b&b. I mainly use Carol's daughter liquid hair balm on my hair to give it shine and it has no parabens so you can oil your scalp with it too. 👏🏾👏🏾
I recently gave up all the oils, puddings and creams and went back to the blue magic my grandma used to use on my hair. my hair is softer and stays moisturized longer between washes. no more crispy fried feeling. less hair comes out when I detangle.
Never used Blue Magic as a kid. My family was Royal Crown lol in the the Red can shaped box. Silver aluminum lid. Yeah buddy.. Then we came up, it was B&B super grow coconut hair grease lol...and I used it on my daughter's head. Hair is genetic. If hair long over the shoulders length aint in the DNA it aint gonna be in any bottle either.. Black women obession with long hair is as old as slave ships. Lengthy hair is associated with European idealistic view of youth and femininity. We are not suppose to have that temporary view. We are walking breathing works of art. From our braids to how we fashion our clothes. We are NOT suppose to assimilate to those views. We are suppose to by birth STAND OUT! Not blend in. Our minds our hearts our souls are suppose to make others STARE IN CURIOSITY. Taken aback by our uniqueness, ingenuity and creative God kissed talents. We are the heart beat of CREATION!.. The only race where we were broke thats why we wore flannel shirts and baggy pants.. And mainstream put it on runways and called it GRUNGE! We were coloring our hair with Packs of Kool aid. Mainstream put it on shelves and called washout hair color. We were coloring our Nikes with sharpies and markers. Now they sell them that way. They gave us pigs to eat. We made ribs. They gave us chicken we fried it. Don't let them mess with your head (literally) Whether 2 inches or 20inches of locks.. WE ARE THE PULSE OF CREATION!!
you better say that! Everything about us is being duplicated but will never be authentic! we need to love our hair, skin color, lips, butt, hips and lips and our culture! Black girls rock!
Definitely bout to start sticking to grease and water only again cause these curl conditioners be making my hair have so much build up and it's too much I have really thick hair and it's curly so I'm sticking to what we USED to use when we were kids growing up as a 90s kid my hair was damn near towards the middle of my back
I'm only 21 but I've been natural all my life. & I can't tell u how happy I was the day natural hair 'blew up'. I've always greased my scalp & hair. I've always retained length.
