After chemotherapy & being bald , I don’t have a length goal I am just grateful for hair 😊 any amount, I’ve come a long way & I’m never cutting my hair again 🥰
Hi, if you don't mind, would you tell me how you got your hair to start growing from bald? I lost mine due to stress and health over 6 years ago and I'm still struggling to get fuzz to grow.😓
@@reignsworld1979 no I don’t mind, as soon as I saw the first bit of fuzz I started a regimen, I washed & conditioned it every week ( I still do that now ) I oiled my head & covered it with a bonnet, I put peppermint essential oil& castor oil together & rubbed it on my scalp daily also I prayed for my healing & then the hair came along🥰 Prayer for healing is what I think helped the most.
I knew the myth that so called natural hair gurus of today were LYING about the dangers of hair grease. I'm sixty five years old who has only used grease, mostly Royal Crown, to grease my scalp and hair and at my age still have almost waist length hair.The only things do different now is I add peppermint oil and castor oil to my grease and also prepoo.
I agree, my mom used Royal Crown as well and my mother had 4 little girls with waist length hair my mom too and dad use to do our hair. Those were the days.
My mother used to use Royal Crown and Hair Rep grease on me and my sister's hair! She would buy Sulfur 8 for my older brother b/c he had really bad dandruff. As we got older we started using Afro Sheen.
I don't listen to these Johnny come lately folks. Still use hair grease too. Easiest way to make sure my hair stays soft and manageable. Notice how they have to keep slathering on the products. And the rewetting. I wet once a week on wash day.
I don't know why I'm listening to the Kim is he says it does not clogged pores but all I know is when I stopped using anything on my scalp years ago , my hair really took off growing. I just assumed grease or oil on my scalp thwarted growth.
Good point...although I must admit that I was quite surprised when she said that grease does not clog pores....I use grease from time to time anyway b/c I like the results.
Even my dermatologist that helped me with my scalp issues says grease doesn’t clog pores she literally was like “ DO YOU KNOW WHAT CLOG PORES LOOK LIKE MS.RICHARDSON ? You would have red painful bumps all over your head if blue magic was clogging your pores lmao
GodLovesVon , So true. The molecules of petroleum Jelly are to large to penetrate the scalp, that is why hair grease does not clog the pores. It is also a neutral 7 like water is on the acidity/alkaline levels, it's right in the middle. Hospitals and care facilities use Vaseline, aka Petroleum Jelly, all the time. My Mom used hair grease in her hair up until she passed at 95 and never had a clogged pore. I have always had some form of it around since the '60's. Some hair gurus, while meaning well, don't truly know or understand what a true clog pore look or feel like.
After following the natural hair movement for so long + the curly girl method, my hair has become a brittle, breaking mess, and the slightest tug causes it to snap--I will now be returning to hair grease. I cant believe I let these natural hair gurus fool me into thinking hair grease was the devil when my mom used hair grease so much on me back then, and my hair thrived.
@@chickensoup123456789 My hair is thriving again. Truly. At first I struggled because it was difficult to get back into a routine, but once I figured it out, my hair responded so well. I don't use the hair grease liberally, I'm very light-handed with it. After I go through my wash day process, when I'm ready to style, I apply a small amount to the roots of each section i make. I then use a leave in or curl cream on the lengths of my hair and either twist or braid it. I then add a tiny amount of grease to the tips of my hair and curl the tips around my finger instead of braiding it all the way. It has really helped me maintain a healthy regimen.
@@chickensoup123456789 I replied to your comment earlier, but UA-cam must have messed up because I don't see it. To answer your question though, it was the best decision I've ever made for myself. My hair stopped breaking unnecessarily and it's easier to detangle. However I don't use the grease throughout my entire head. I use it on my scalp and the ends of my hair. On the lengths/shaft, I use a leave in conditioner or a curl cream, depending on what I have at the time. My hair has welcomed the changed.
I literally screamed two days ago when i found Blue Magic in a store in Zimbabwe lol. I never thought i would get it here, i had to buy two. I'm glad I'm getting back to hair grease as well
You are the GOAT OKAY ! I started using hair grease to lock in moisture in my hair after watching your videos ! My hair has retained moisture for much longer than before when I was using oils . It’s wonderful to get to know the science behind products from a a black female chemist ! You’re amazing thank you for your videos !
I ditched hair grease once I started following most 'natural hair care routines' and my hair has been breaking off and same length for like 2 yrs, now I went back to hair grease, Blue Magic and I my hair remains moisturized for like two days! It's now my go to sealant, can't believe I have been complaining and stressing about dry and brittle hair. My goal now is healthy armpit length jair 😊 thanks for making this video💓
I feel you girl!! This winter I refuse to have anymore brittle and breakage. My hair is getting thinner by the moment. I realize I wasn't putting enough jojoba oil too because when I do what a difference. I just started another deep conditioner too. I had been using Shea Mositure for years, it's not working like it used too or maybe too much protein. It wasn't this complicated when we were kids, lol
Somehow I'm beginning to believe that whoever started the rumor about hair grease blocking the pores were lying and simply trying to sell us on other products to make money. I grew up in the 60's and everyone who used grease on their hair and scalp had thick, moisturized, long hair. I am so mad that I veered away from that because I wanted to grow my hair so much faster only for it to break off faster with the new fangled methods. I'm going back to hair grease and may be adding tea tree, peppermint oil and/or rosemary oil to my hair grease. And I will be sealing my ends with hair grease. 🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My grandpa grew up with grease as well. He grew up in the 1950s. Say what you want about grease but if you wash it out weekly and moisturize it first, if you know what your doing you’ll litearly be fine. And it’s just something in those ingridents that really feed the scalp and have it grow like a weed
Thank you for that informed reminder! I'm from the 60's and hair grease was THE WAY!!! Also, EVERY 2 WEEKS, same beautician, same time, same place (like Batman), me and my grandmother were getting our hair washed and straightened. Hair Grease Maintenance, applied to parted sections, 1 - 2 times a week only, kept our hair JUST RIGHT...and REGULAR Growth. Healthy scalp and hair. Sometimes we need to go back to the good ole way. I think I'll add just a little neem, or peppermint, or tea tree essential oil to my ole skol Afro Sheen.
After becoming an adult, I moved away from hair grease. I hated the "greasy" feel of the hair. It just took some trial and error with other products for me to remember that our parents used hair grease nearly exclusively on our hair and it grew like wildfire and it stayed on our heads. Needless to say I am a user again.
I’m trying not to focus on length so much. I just want to keep it healthy and perhaps the length will follow. Speaking of hair grease, a few years ago I was at the gym. I had washed my hair and pulled out hair grease to style it. A woman told me not to use grease. I used it and still use grease to this day. I just found it interesting how upset she was about me using grease.
I stopped using oils about 2 months ago. Ths oils were making my hair shed excessively.I switched to hair grease. My hair is not shedding, the shedding stopped. My hair is so soft, and my ends aren't breaking.
I'm older. I want to keep healthy hair. I haven't relaxed my hair since early 2020 before the pandemic. It has grown a lot. I have some thin sections that I want to grow out. I enjoy your advice. God bless you. 🙏
I love Blue magic and it really helps my hir. I have honestly been able to recover from alopecia by adding this to my regimen. My hair is now thriving and I am glad it doesn't block pores as some UA-camrs claim. I never listen totem though. I just do what works for me :)
I’m focusing on both 🥴 I’m definitely trying to grow my hair to bra strap length. When I was growing up Blue Magic was the grease that all the girls in my family used!! A little Blue magic and put some water on that hairbrush was all we needed to make a poppin ponytail 🤣Now that thinking about it my hair was never dry. I’m going to try hair grease this week instead of my usual hair oils and see how it works. Thank you for this video💜
Bring it back with the water on the hairbrush!!! Girl, that was my Mama’s favorite move when she would put that Blue Magic in mine and my sisters’ hair. No Edge Control was needed because Blue Magic covered a lot of ground.
My hair goal is to keep it moisturized this winter without me having to apply product twice a day. I'm 3c/4a Biracial girl and I tried out hair grease bc nothing else was working w this winter weather. It's so nice to be able to see that my hair is staying moisturized. Hoping for less breakage now
I over love your knowledge and honesty about hair grease. Ever since I reverted back to using hair grease, my hair is thriving all because of my childhood hair grease. I literally just subscribe solely because of this video.
Then it will grow. It is quite ironic that when the focus switches from obsessing about length to that if consistent care....length naturally follows because consistent care ( wash, deep condition with a balanced amount of moisture and the occasional protein treatment, leave in and sealant) is what keeps your hair, most particular your ends, on your head.
I’ve gone back to using Dax hair grease again. I love the stuff. I spray my hair adequately with water first, use the hair grease then top with a strong hold gel (the edge Booster Styling gel is the my favourite currently). My hair stays moisturised for a good 3-4 weeks. I tend to wash every 2 months (I do my hairline more often as I use rogaine there). So I only have to re-moisturise once before I wash my hair again. My goal is mid-thigh length when stretched out. I’m at bra strap length currently. So I have a good 4 years to wait 😩😩
I’ve never heard of the edge booster gel? Where do you buy it and is it better than Eco Styler? (Eco Styler flakes on my hair and doesn’t work well with grease)
I'm a blue magic super sure grow for spring/summer and castor oil for fall and winter. And since I found the right combination of products, my hair is thriving.
Hi there. Which castor oil are you using? Is it the Jamaican Black Castor Oil or the regular castor oil? I purchased the regular for use on my brows at night and wondered how it would actually do on my scalp. 😊
Hi@margretwhite5620, are you still using the grease and oil regiment in this way and are you satisfied with it? I want to start this regiment now this coming sping and summer. Thanks for sharing.
Hair grease was all I knew growing up, my mom's choice for our hair, was bergamot, and royal crown. I recently tried various types of grease, but for some reason they didn't keep my hair moisturized I went back to oils, and my hair retains moisture, for up to four days. I think the formula has been changed. Do what your hair loves, not what paid influencers tell you. Trial and error is the best way to find out what food your hair thrives on. I pray that God will reveal to you what your crown likes.
I recently been thinking about hair grease. Always, was told it clog pours. I remember growing up as a child and grease being the only choice of moisture I recall being used, and it locked in moisture and produced strong heathy hair. Therefore, I'll be adding it back into my health care journey! Thanks, for sharing. I recently started following you and have enjoyed all of your videos thus far!🤗🥰
I've tried all the expensive moisturizers for natural hair. Nothing seem to work quite right so I went back and tried grease again. It worked perfectly.
I'm focused on just healthy hair. If you think about it .. we ALL used grease back in the day and had hair passed our shoulders... who told us to stop using the tried and true and just use oil.. Grease that scalp ladies 😂 thank you for this video
Hello. I’m focusing on healthier hair. I just started using small jar of Royal Crown hair grease. Back in the days there was nothing wrong with using hair grease and our hair as African Americans was so long. We grew up and started trying new products and all went hey wired to hair shedding, breakage, alopecia just unhealthy. We tend to listen to society it’s not good to use petroleum or hair grease that’s a lie grandmothers used it and it was no problem. I’m taking a stand and using what’s best for me. Thank you for your video very inspirational.
Great video!!! I have switched back to hair grease over the last month as a sealant!! I am loving what I see so far. I have high density HP hair almost at BSL. My aim is MBL....so 6 more inches and I am good!
My goal is 22" ☺ wherever that will be. Also my all time favourite hair grease is Kuza the Indian hemp one.....did you know "kuza" in Swahili means "to grow"....well now you know. 🇰🇪
This is an awesome video in two ways. The growth tutes are great and useful. Then I read a comment thread, between two women connecting, trading info, sharing love, caring for each other, praying for each other. Brave strong sisters❤
Yes! This is honestly what Curly Chemistry is about; providing great hair tips in a positive and loving environment. I’m so glad it shows and thank you for your comment! ☺️
I’m focusing on quality of my natural hair right now and if it grows more I’m counting that as a win as well. I always look forward to your videos ❤️ all of your content you’re the 💣.
Since I watched one of your initial videos on hair grease I’ve been using this as my sealant. My hair had been so soft since reintroducing hair grease into my regimen. I was just thinking earlier this week of putting hair grease on my scalp after my was routine will help with my dry scalp. This video is right on time!
Thank you for this. Growing up in a blue magic only household I never realized there were lighter grades of grease. Blue magic doesn’t work well for me so I might give softee a go
After being a natural for a few years, I really had to stop listening to everyone. I have to use what works for me! When I use grease to seal my hair, it makes it so soft. It keeps it soft and my styles preserved for the week or longer. I have high porosity hair so I really need sealants like oil and grease. I have to use lighter greases tho because my strands are fine.
I just realized something, you have wheat germ oil up there as a comedogenic one. I used that on my face, and I started breaking out. When I stopped using it, I stopped breaking out. When I used it again, I started breaking out again. I knew the wheat germ was causing it, just didn't know why. Now I do though. 😃 Thanks for that information.
I am so happy that this video came up as a suggestion. I am definitely going to subscribe!! My hair goal is waist length but I need to to work on retaining length by using less heat. As far as the the hair grease goes, I knew that people were wrong. Back in the 80's my mother washed and pressed my hair every week. She used a hot comb and used a variety of greases including Blue Majic, Sulfer 8, and soft sheen Carson's Bergamot. My hair was almost waist length as a child, so why wouldn't these products work today?? Truth is those same products yield the same results that they did in the 80's.
You convince me. I’m going to try hair grease on half of my high porosity hair. Now I have to figure out which one to try. You steered me in the right direction with coconut oil.
I have high porosity hair and I love Nature's Blessings pomade. It's lightweight and has a consistency of hair grease. It has natural ingredients like nettle, rosemary, sage, peppermint, thyme, alfalfa, olive oil, coconut oil, bergamot oil, chlorophyll, pure mineral jelly.
@@CurlyChemistry I chose Softee Indian hemp oil grease from Walmart. I saturated my hair with water and my leave in conditioner. I add Pyrithione Zinc to any of my leave in conditioners at .25% for my seborrheic dermatitis. Then I add the grease. The application was stiffer than I like so I added a little argan oil (non comedogenic)to it to loosen it up a bit. My hair took about 20 hours to air dry. Take down was very easy. (Day 1)My hair felt and looked very moisturized. I’ll report back over the next 6 days.
I just bought the blue magic coconut oil again. My hair was so healthy using that. My hair is so high porosity. And my scalp itches by day 2. So greasing the scalp again. Jamaican black Castor oil helps my hair as well but still won't stay moisturized for more than a day.
Retaining length thanks to yr tips and going back to hair grease. I am below BSL for the first time in my whole life and I turn 60 in July!!! Today used Kuza to coat my hair before getting into pool (after wetting it with water). Thanks again for all yr efforts!!!
I use Sulphur 8 on my teen son's scalp. He gets dandruff. Head & Shoulders has been great for his scalp. In between washes, I use Sulphur 8 sometimes. It better not create hair growth, lol, he already has SO MUCH. I am a bit jealous. I never had as much. For the past few weeks, I've been doing your PMP suggestion for my type 4, EASILY knotted, breakable thin strand hair. Only pre-pooed (Penetrating product) once. But, I MUST use detangling jelly b4 wash. After shampoo, Moisturize with SCurl spray + Pantene Creme. I Protect/seal with cheap Softee hair "dressing." Been doing unflattering 2 strand twists, too. But the shine is amazing!Separately, the products don't give me the same look. Before sealing, I grease my scalp with Aloe Vera gel. Very soothing. Maybe it will help my hair to grow... the goal.. Time will tell.
I love this channel so much. It's so funny that I'm seeing this video about 3 weeks after I started mixing some Rosemary into my Blue Magic. I only did it because I'd heard Rosemary was good for the hair and scalp but I find the fragrance too overwhelming. Mixing it into the hair grease really calms down the scent. I also use one of those "Mama" hair tips I'd forgotten about for moisturizing my hair between washes: spraying on some water and lightly palming hair grease through, section by section.
I want to get stronger hair especially since I’m trying to transform from not getting my hair straightened as much anymore. But at the same time, I would like to grow my hair to bra strap length and make sure it grows evenly. One side of my hair is longer than the other and I’m not sure why. But I’m trying to get it together lol. Finally, I would like to get my braid outs and twists out to last longer. I just bought the kuza beeswax grease that you mentioned in this video and a previous video and I absolutely love it so far. It doesn’t make your hair shrink up at all and my hair actually feels moisturized. Thank you for the recommendation!
I recently started following you and your advice has helped me so much in my natural hair care. As a child my mom used to make hair grease for my hair. She never brought the petroleum jelly(which was popular back then) because she said my hair didnt agree with it. But the homemade grease worked because I had really long hair back then. But my hair was so thick and long (leave in conditioner didnt exist) i eventually relaxed my hair and lost track of how she maintained my hair. Sadly I didnt pay attention to how she made the grease so I dont know what to do.
I really tried with grease, its still a no for my hair. But I can use a thick oil like castor oil just fine... that leaves my hair so soft and keeps the moisture in when I'm not doing a wash n go style.
My hair goal is for my edges to grow back, healthy hair and for my hair to grow to my shoulders. Thanks for this video because oils are not working for my hair, I will be going back to using grease. I used to use grease when I was in college and my hair grew but people was saying grease was bad for your hair and I stopped using it and my hair stopped growing long. It will grow a certain length and then break off.
I'm quite excited to try hair grease because I naturally have high porosity hair and not even thick oils like castor oil seal in the moisture!! Hopefully it will work. Thank you!!
I want to have mid back hair length, and a healthy hair, of course 😊 I started to use hair grease again because my curly cream doesn't mix well with oils. I retained moisture for a longer time, since I workout 5 timed a week. Hair grease is excellent 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 And I really don't remember why left hair grease for years, but I'm back.
No but Truthishly, my high porosity hair watching me try to seal with an oil: Soooo I’ll see you & the leave in tonight around 8? Coo. Team Hair Grease 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Currently battling eczema with starter locs. The covid crisis pushed me back into natural hair. I completed the big chop then remained loose natural for a year. Sick of wash days and detangling for hours I decided to embrace locs. Hormonal changes of age worsened my skin/scalp condition. I now have time to focus on scalp health. My true motivation for going natural! To me length isn't my focus. Because I know that a healthy scalp will yield healthy long hair! I'm going to implement some blue magic or sulfur 8 with my self made hair growth oil. Currently it has not been locking in moisture.
I love grease & also keeping my hair in medium twists vs big twist keeps my hair moisturized longer bigger twist dry out so easily on me especially my roots I have puffy roots 💆🏽♀️
I've always had good results with grease, was relaxed over 20 years now I'm natural, Blue Magic has worked well, I recently added some Amla powder, peppermint oil and rosemary to my grease, will see what the results are after 2 months. It's never clogged my pores....
My goals is on quality right now then growth but I can attest that once I switched from oils to grease in my LOC method. I just do leave in and grease my hair has been thriving!!!
I am trying to get it waistline but health is very important so it is hard because I constantly have to cut my ends. I don't stress I just enjoy the ride👍🏽
My hair growth length is waist length, but right now I'm focusing on the health, because my scalp...goodness, it's been a hot mess which is why my hair isn't thriving. I blame the hard water where I live, but I'm too lazy to boil water every time. I'd love if you could do a video about how hard water can affect the scalp, if that's even a thing, because I do see the difference. I was asking my mom about hair care back in the day some time ago, she used to wash her hair with blue soap then use hair grease and she had the most beautiful, thick hair. I'm not saying wash your hair with blue soap, but I find that I was doing too much with my hair and it wasn't happy, I've learned to keep it simple.
I stopped using OILS on my hair and I just been using blue magic and the dollar hair grease MY hair has grown TREMENDOUSLY... I mostly keep my hair in braids cause I wear a wig
I'm focusing on health and retention. My hair is shedding in the front and top and breaking on the sides while the middle back is thriving. I was skeptical when I saw your first video, but I am so glad I subscribed anyway. I have learned more from this channel than I have been taught about my hair ever. The video you posted about which oils penatrate the hair shaft turned the tide for me in the struggle with my hair and dryness. It listed flaxseed oil. I have it in my pantry to season my caste iron pans. I mixed some up with fenugreek powder and and water and mist it on my hair and scalp. At first everyday. About 2-3 days in I noticed my hair wasn't dry at the end of the day. At this point deep conditioning once a week in my wash day routine (which I was doing b4 and still dried out in 2-3 days) and misting with the flaxseed oil mixture I don't get dry at all. I may be able to extend my wash day to every 2 wks, which was not a possibility b4. Thank you.
I honestly don’t have a hair length goal atm. I just focus on the overall health of my hair. Due to situations I’m going through now, I have to adapt change to up keep my hair care regimen.
Thanks!!! Great info!! Been using similar advice from others since Jan 29th and have had great results...seems my hair has grown about 4 inches since then, using the advice of a hair grease mixture!! Obviously it doesn't have to be a mixture....at this point of the journey, I am tweeking what works ON my relaxed fine hair. But hair grease is working for me!! My hair looks like it is in a natural state because I only do braid outs!! So no worries about it being, or looking weighed down!!No heat....
What you know about Myrtle Beach ?! 😃 I have no length goal (always had long hair) I just want to keep it thick and healthy. My current goal to get fullness back in my edges.
Great content. I remember at the beginning of my journey, the natural hair community advised to stay away from grease, but grease helped me get to MBL. But protein overload broke my hair, so now I’m working to get back to MBL.
I just relaxed about 2 weeks ago and i hate it!! My hair is shedding severely. I decided to go back natural by doing the big chop. Im pushing for health over lenght right now. I love your videos, they are very imformative.
@tammy brown,you made me remember when i relaxed my hair.I didn't know what to do with my natural hair anymore...so i relaxed it and as soon as i did that😒i regretted it.I just dont like the shrinkage in my natural hair but im trying my best not to go back to the creamy crack
@@somethingspecial1415 dont!! You just have to do trial and error to see what works with your hair. At the end, i no longer tried to figure out my hair type, i just used products that were for my hair. Learn to embrace that shrinkage because in the long run its going to be healthy and beautiful.
Grease is a better sealant for my hair than oil. Grease keeps my hair moisturized for days so I have stopped using leave in conditioners on my low porosity hair as it gave me product residue
Healthy and mid-back length. After years of stress, chlorine (Aquacise Instructor 3 years), chemical, mechanical, and heat damage, I've found my go to products brands and home DIY's that my hair and scalp love. Scalp massages are a must so I keep my hair straight, stretched, hydrated, and moisturized. Love the Woman who looks back at you in the mirror Ladies, You're Worth it. Namaste' 🙏🏽
I have locs, and just went back to grease because of shedding. Started using a grease called Nature’s Blessing again (I use it to re-twist and on my scalp and the length of my hair), and shedding has almost completely stopped. I’m at bra strap length now, and going for waist-length, where I’ll keep them trimmed.
After chemotherapy & being bald , I don’t have a length goal I am just grateful for hair 😊 any amount, I’ve come a long way & I’m never cutting my hair again 🥰

, So true. The molecules of petroleum Jelly are to large to penetrate the scalp, that is why hair grease does not clog the pores. It is also a neutral 7 like water is on the acidity/alkaline levels, it's right in the middle. Hospitals and care facilities use Vaseline, aka Petroleum Jelly, all the time. My Mom used hair grease in her hair up until she passed at 95 and never had a clogged pore. I have always had some form of it around since the '60's.
Some hair gurus, while meaning well, don't truly know or understand what a true clog pore look or feel like.
Hair grease mixed with castor oil is the only thing that keeps my daughter's thick 4c hair moisturize.
That’s amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Are you using it on both the scalp and the hair?
Regular or black castor oil?
@@pisces031372aj I use blue magic and mixed it with organic castor oil on my daughter hair it's very soft

I replied to your comment earlier, but UA-cam must have messed up because I don't see it.
To answer your question though, it was the best decision I've ever made for myself. My hair stopped breaking unnecessarily and it's easier to detangle. However I don't use the grease throughout my entire head. I use it on my scalp and the ends of my hair. On the lengths/shaft, I use a leave in conditioner or a curl cream, depending on what I have at the time. My hair has welcomed the changed.

Coming out!?! 😨 Jesus.
I gotta check her out and see this for myself, damn.
I literally screamed two days ago when i found Blue Magic in a store in Zimbabwe lol. I never thought i would get it here, i had to buy two. I'm glad I'm getting back to hair grease as well
Shamwari!
Does anyone know where I can find it in South Africa? I've looked everywhere.
@@olliezali you won't find it anywhere else other than Amazon. We're usually the last people to hop unto trending hair care lines 🤣🤣
@@olliezali my curiosity is as good as yours
You are the GOAT OKAY ! I started using hair grease to lock in moisture in my hair after watching your videos ! My hair has retained moisture for much longer than before when I was using oils . It’s wonderful to get to know the science behind products from a a black female chemist ! You’re amazing thank you for your videos !
Thank you Lina!! So glad you’re seeing RESULTS! 💜
I ditched hair grease once I started following most 'natural hair care routines' and my hair has been breaking off and same length for like 2 yrs, now I went back to hair grease, Blue Magic and I my hair remains moisturized for like two days! It's now my go to sealant, can't believe I have been complaining and stressing about dry and brittle hair. My goal now is healthy armpit length jair 😊 thanks for making this video💓
I feel you girl!! This winter I refuse to have anymore brittle and breakage. My hair is getting thinner by the moment. I realize I wasn't putting enough jojoba oil too because when I do what a difference. I just started another deep conditioner too. I had been using Shea Mositure for years, it's not working like it used too or maybe too much protein. It wasn't this complicated when we were kids, lol
So all the times I was told hair grease blocks your pores were lies???? Welp, looks like I'm adding hair grease back to my hair care routine!
Started using it again and it works wonder
Somehow I'm beginning to believe that whoever started the rumor about hair grease blocking the pores were lying and simply trying to sell us on other products to make money. I grew up in the 60's and everyone who used grease on their hair and scalp had thick, moisturized, long hair. I am so mad that I veered away from that because I wanted to grow my hair so much faster only for it to break off faster with the new fangled methods. I'm going back to hair grease and may be adding tea tree, peppermint oil and/or rosemary oil to my hair grease. And I will be sealing my ends with hair grease. 🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My mama said the same thing she was born in the forty’s hair grease was the essential for hair growth and retention
My grandpa grew up with grease as well. He grew up in the 1950s. Say what you want about grease but if you wash it out weekly and moisturize it first, if you know what your doing you’ll litearly be fine. And it’s just something in those ingridents that really feed the scalp and have it grow like a weed
Does anyone remember Hair Food hair grease back in the days? I was so glad to see Softee hair food grease in Dollar Tree.
My mom used that on me as a kid. My hair was super thick and long back then
@@misslorraine1419 mines too
Yes the hair food
One of the most important hair care videos on UA-cam, nothing trendy. Truthful and straight to the point.
Thank you! 💜
Thank you for that informed reminder! I'm from the 60's and hair grease was THE WAY!!! Also, EVERY 2 WEEKS, same beautician, same time, same place (like Batman), me and my grandmother were getting our hair washed and straightened. Hair Grease Maintenance, applied to parted sections, 1 - 2 times a week only, kept our hair JUST RIGHT...and REGULAR Growth. Healthy scalp and hair.
Sometimes we need to go back to the good ole way.
I think I'll add just a little neem, or peppermint, or tea tree essential oil to my ole skol Afro Sheen.
After becoming an adult, I moved away from hair grease. I hated the "greasy" feel of the hair. It just took some trial and error with other products for me to remember that our parents used hair grease nearly exclusively on our hair and it grew like wildfire and it stayed on our heads. Needless to say I am a user again.
Same! I just use less than what my mom used on me so I don't leave oily stains everywhere
I’m trying not to focus on length so much. I just want to keep it healthy and perhaps the length will follow. Speaking of hair grease, a few years ago I was at the gym. I had washed my hair and pulled out hair grease to style it. A woman told me not to use grease. I used it and still use grease to this day. I just found it interesting how upset she was about me using grease.
People getting upset over hair care is sad. I see it a lot on UA-cam. I’m a huge advocate of “doing what works for you”.
Focusing on health and I expect the length to follow. Shooting for tail bone.
Yes tail bone!! You can do it! 😆
I stopped using oils about 2 months ago. Ths oils were making my hair shed excessively.I switched to hair grease. My hair is not shedding, the shedding stopped. My hair is so soft, and my ends aren't breaking.
I'm older. I want to keep healthy hair. I haven't relaxed my hair since early 2020 before the pandemic. It has grown a lot. I have some thin sections that I want to grow out. I enjoy your advice. God bless you. 🙏
I’ve started back using hair grease and I definitely feel a difference in my strands. No length goal just full thick hair for me 😍😍 love your Channel.
I am at BSL and shooting for waist length by 50 because why not! LOL to the moon!
I love Blue magic and it really helps my hir. I have honestly been able to recover from alopecia by adding this to my regimen. My hair is now thriving and I am glad it doesn't block pores as some UA-camrs claim. I never listen totem though. I just do what works for me :)
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Focusing on thickness and healthy hair.
I love me some hair grease!!!! I’m a Blue Magic girl. I don’t really have a hair length goal. As long as it’s healthy and thick, I’m happy.
My goal is quality hair at mid-back length.
I’m focusing on both 🥴 I’m definitely trying to grow my hair to bra strap length. When I was growing up Blue Magic was the grease that all the girls in my family used!! A little Blue magic and put some water on that hairbrush was all we needed to make a poppin ponytail 🤣Now that thinking about it my hair was never dry. I’m going to try hair grease this week instead of my usual hair oils and see how it works. Thank you for this video💜
Bring it back with the water on the hairbrush!!! Girl, that was my Mama’s favorite move when she would put that Blue Magic in mine and my sisters’ hair. No Edge Control was needed because Blue Magic covered a lot of ground.
My hair goal: healthy, maximum density, maximum thickness, maximum fullness around my perimeter all while having natural hip length hair.
Omg and a healthy scalp we will get there. 🤞🏾
Kenesa this yo pic
you and me both
We got this!
My hair goal is to keep it moisturized this winter without me having to apply product twice a day. I'm 3c/4a Biracial girl and I tried out hair grease bc nothing else was working w this winter weather. It's so nice to be able to see that my hair is staying moisturized. Hoping for less breakage now
Im under my collarbone, praying for armpit length in a couple more months🙏🏼💕💕
My ultimate goal is to sit on my hair😅😅
I over love your knowledge and honesty about hair grease. Ever since I reverted back to using hair grease, my hair is thriving all because of my childhood hair grease.
I literally just subscribe solely because of this video.
Thank you! ☺️
I am focusing on keeping my hair healthy if it grows as well ! Great.
Then it will grow. It is quite ironic that when the focus switches from obsessing about length to that if consistent care....length naturally follows because consistent care ( wash, deep condition with a balanced amount of moisture and the occasional protein treatment, leave in and sealant) is what keeps your hair, most particular your ends, on your head.
My hair fell out last year, so I’m just trying to thicken my hair. I would eventually like to grow it back to BSL.
I’ve gone back to using Dax hair grease again.
I love the stuff. I spray my hair adequately with water first, use the hair grease then top with a strong hold gel (the edge Booster Styling gel is the my favourite currently).
My hair stays moisturised for a good 3-4 weeks. I tend to wash every 2 months (I do my hairline more often as I use rogaine there). So I only have to re-moisturise once before I wash my hair again.
My goal is mid-thigh length when stretched out. I’m at bra strap length currently.
So I have a good 4 years to wait 😩😩
I’ve never heard of the edge booster gel? Where do you buy it and is it better than Eco Styler? (Eco Styler flakes on my hair and doesn’t work well with grease)
What is your hair type??
I'm a blue magic super sure grow for spring/summer and castor oil for fall and winter. And since I found the right combination of products, my hair is thriving.
Hi there. Which castor oil are you using? Is it the Jamaican Black Castor Oil or the regular castor oil? I purchased the regular for use on my brows at night and wondered how it would actually do on my scalp. 😊
@@DivaDlux121 plain regular castor oil.
@@margaretwhite5620 Thank you so much!
Hi@margretwhite5620, are you still using the grease and oil regiment in this way and are you satisfied with it? I want to start this regiment now this coming sping and summer. Thanks for sharing.
I'm trying for both hair health and waist length , right now is at my shoulders.
Hair grease was all I knew growing up, my mom's choice for our hair, was bergamot, and royal crown. I recently tried various types of grease, but for some reason they didn't keep my hair moisturized I went back to oils, and my hair retains moisture, for up to four days. I think the formula has been changed. Do what your hair loves, not what paid influencers tell you. Trial and error is the best way to find out what food your hair thrives on. I pray that God will reveal to you what your crown likes.
I recently been thinking about hair grease. Always, was told it clog pours. I remember growing up as a child and grease being the only choice of moisture I recall being used, and it locked in moisture and produced strong heathy hair. Therefore, I'll be adding it back into my health care journey! Thanks, for sharing. I recently started following you and have enjoyed all of your videos thus far!🤗🥰
I've tried all the expensive moisturizers for natural hair. Nothing seem to work quite right so I went back and tried grease again. It worked perfectly.
I've been using grease again and my hair stays moisturized & soft! I use it on wet hair.
Works better for me on wet hair as well. It stays so moisturized and soft!
I'm focused on just healthy hair. If you think about it .. we ALL used grease back in the day and had hair passed our shoulders... who told us to stop using the tried and true and just use oil.. Grease that scalp ladies 😂 thank you for this video
Hello. I’m focusing on healthier hair. I just started using small jar of Royal Crown hair grease. Back in the days there was nothing wrong with using hair grease and our hair as African Americans was so long. We grew up and started trying new products and all went hey wired to hair shedding, breakage, alopecia just unhealthy. We tend to listen to society it’s not good to use petroleum or hair grease that’s a lie grandmothers used it and it was no problem. I’m taking a stand and using what’s best for me. Thank you for your video very inspirational.
Great video!!! I have switched back to hair grease over the last month as a sealant!! I am loving what I see so far. I have high density HP hair almost at BSL. My aim is MBL....so 6 more inches and I am good!
Yesss! Go girl!
My goal is 22" ☺ wherever that will be.
Also my all time favourite hair grease is Kuza the Indian hemp one.....did you know "kuza" in Swahili means "to grow"....well now you know. 🇰🇪
Love the Indian hemp too! ☺️
Mi pia mswahili 👍
Where do they sell it?
@@GoaWay... in beauty supplies stores.
@@jackywairegi2316 I haven't seen that. Then again I don't go to beauty supply stores often. 🤔 I will look it up. Thank you ☺️
I'm concentrated on health now. Length comes later. I'm going for waist length
This is an awesome video in two ways. The growth tutes are great and useful. Then I read a comment thread, between two women connecting, trading info, sharing love, caring for each other, praying for each other. Brave strong sisters❤
Yes! This is honestly what Curly Chemistry is about; providing great hair tips in a positive and loving environment. I’m so glad it shows and thank you for your comment! ☺️
I’m focusing on quality of my natural hair right now and if it grows more I’m counting that as a win as well. I always look forward to your videos ❤️ all of your content you’re the 💣.
Since I watched one of your initial videos on hair grease I’ve been using this as my sealant. My hair had been so soft since reintroducing hair grease into my regimen. I was just thinking earlier this week of putting hair grease on my scalp after my was routine will help with my dry scalp. This video is right on time!
Yes! I love these tips. 💕My hair thrives with grease. Team Blue Magic! My hair goal length is waist length.
Thank you for this. Growing up in a blue magic only household I never realized there were lighter grades of grease. Blue magic doesn’t work well for me so I might give softee a go
Softee Indian Hemp and Softee Hair Food is the Bomb!
Softee bergamot and the herbal gro are amazing
After being a natural for a few years, I really had to stop listening to everyone. I have to use what works for me! When I use grease to seal my hair, it makes it so soft. It keeps it soft and my styles preserved for the week or longer. I have high porosity hair so I really need sealants like oil and grease. I have to use lighter greases tho because my strands are fine.
Just like me ,I prefer grease
Which lighter greases?
I just realized something, you have wheat germ oil up there as a comedogenic one. I used that on my face, and I started breaking out. When I stopped using it, I stopped breaking out. When I used it again, I started breaking out again. I knew the wheat germ was causing it, just didn't know why. Now I do though. 😃 Thanks for that information.
I do not have a hair length goal. I am focusing on heathy hair. Your videos are great.
Great goal! And thank you! ☺️
I am so happy that this video came up as a suggestion. I am definitely going to subscribe!!
My hair goal is waist length but I need to to work on retaining length by using less heat. As far as the the hair grease goes, I knew that people were wrong. Back in the 80's my mother washed and pressed my hair every week. She used a hot comb and used a variety of greases including Blue Majic, Sulfer 8, and soft sheen Carson's Bergamot. My hair was almost waist length as a child, so why wouldn't these products work today?? Truth is those same products yield the same results that they did in the 80's.
You convince me. I’m going to try hair grease on half of my high porosity hair. Now I have to figure out which one to try. You steered me in the right direction with coconut oil.
Keep me posted! ☺️
I have high porosity hair and I love Nature's Blessings pomade. It's lightweight and has a consistency of hair grease. It has natural ingredients like nettle, rosemary, sage, peppermint, thyme, alfalfa, olive oil, coconut oil, bergamot oil, chlorophyll, pure mineral jelly.
I use LisaAkbari Oil Sheen in a Jar as my hair grease. It is all natural. Sometimes I add castor oil with it.
@Papa F Jose yes, overloaded with great ingredients for my hair growth and it's working wonders.
@@CurlyChemistry I chose Softee Indian hemp oil grease from Walmart. I saturated my hair with water and my leave in conditioner. I add Pyrithione Zinc to any of my leave in conditioners at .25% for my seborrheic dermatitis. Then I add the grease. The application was stiffer than I like so I added a little argan oil (non comedogenic)to it to loosen it up a bit. My hair took about 20 hours to air dry. Take down was very easy. (Day 1)My hair felt and looked very moisturized. I’ll report back over the next 6 days.
I just bought the blue magic coconut oil again. My hair was so healthy using that. My hair is so high porosity. And my scalp itches by day 2. So greasing the scalp again. Jamaican black Castor oil helps my hair as well but still won't stay moisturized for more than a day.
Thank you for sharing! 💜
Someone in the comments said that they mix the castor oil with the grease, see if that works and come back to this comment and let me know please.
Me too!
@@kenesa Yeah It Works That's What I Do!!
Retaining length thanks to yr tips and going back to hair grease. I am below BSL for the first time in my whole life and I turn 60 in July!!! Today used Kuza to coat my hair before getting into pool (after wetting it with water). Thanks again for all yr efforts!!!
I use Sulphur 8 on my teen son's scalp. He gets dandruff. Head & Shoulders has been great for his scalp. In between washes, I use Sulphur 8 sometimes. It better not create hair growth, lol, he already has SO MUCH. I am a bit jealous. I never had as much.
For the past few weeks, I've been doing your PMP suggestion for my type 4, EASILY knotted, breakable thin strand hair.
Only pre-pooed (Penetrating product) once. But, I MUST use detangling jelly b4 wash. After shampoo, Moisturize with SCurl spray + Pantene Creme. I Protect/seal with cheap Softee hair "dressing."
Been doing unflattering 2 strand twists, too. But the shine is amazing!Separately, the products don't give me the same look. Before sealing, I grease my scalp with Aloe Vera gel. Very soothing. Maybe it will help my hair to grow... the goal.. Time will tell.
I love this channel so much. It's so funny that I'm seeing this video about 3 weeks after I started mixing some Rosemary into my Blue Magic. I only did it because I'd heard Rosemary was good for the hair and scalp but I find the fragrance too overwhelming. Mixing it into the hair grease really calms down the scent.
I also use one of those "Mama" hair tips I'd forgotten about for moisturizing my hair between washes: spraying on some water and lightly palming hair grease through, section by section.
From the 40's generation. Vaseline and coconut oil. Dax and Sulphur 8 as we got more affluent
I’m currently mid back length and if i make it to waist length I’m good!
Love it! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
@@CurlyChemistry no, thank YOUUUUU from dropping gem after gem every week !
💜💜💜
Love, love, love your videos! Always informative! 🥰❤🥰 At this point, I just want my hair to be healthy no matter what length it is at. 😁
I hear you girl!! ☺️
I want to get stronger hair especially since I’m trying to transform from not getting my hair straightened as much anymore. But at the same time, I would like to grow my hair to bra strap length and make sure it grows evenly. One side of my hair is longer than the other and I’m not sure why. But I’m trying to get it together lol. Finally, I would like to get my braid outs and twists out to last longer. I just bought the kuza beeswax grease that you mentioned in this video and a previous video and I absolutely love it so far. It doesn’t make your hair shrink up at all and my hair actually feels moisturized. Thank you for the recommendation!
Your hair is thrivinggggg omg and my goal is mid-back length when blown out❤️
Thank you! 💜
@@CurlyChemistry you’re welcome☺️
I recently started following you and your advice has helped me so much in my natural hair care. As a child my mom used to make hair grease for my hair. She never brought the petroleum jelly(which was popular back then) because she said my hair didnt agree with it. But the homemade grease worked because I had really long hair back then. But my hair was so thick and long (leave in conditioner didnt exist) i eventually relaxed my hair and lost track of how she maintained my hair. Sadly I didnt pay attention to how she made the grease so I dont know what to do.
Healthy, full, shoulder length hair (in it's curly state).
Yay! You always make my day!
Thank you! 🤗
I really tried with grease, its still a no for my hair. But I can use a thick oil like castor oil just fine... that leaves my hair so soft and keeps the moisture in when I'm not doing a wash n go style.
Why is it a no for you?
@@IAmHisBeloved5 maybe shes type 3, or just a silkier texture
My hair goal is for my edges to grow back, healthy hair and for my hair to grow to my shoulders. Thanks for this video because oils are not working for my hair, I will be going back to using grease. I used to use grease when I was in college and my hair grew but people was saying grease was bad for your hair and I stopped using it and my hair stopped growing long. It will grow a certain length and then break off.
I follow everything she says. She knows forreal.
I'm quite excited to try hair grease because I naturally have high porosity hair and not even thick oils like castor oil seal in the moisture!! Hopefully it will work. Thank you!!
I want to have mid back hair length, and a healthy hair, of course 😊
I started to use hair grease again because my curly cream doesn't mix well with oils. I retained moisture for a longer time, since I workout 5 timed a week.
Hair grease is excellent 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
And I really don't remember why left hair grease for years, but I'm back.
Tailbone length, my grate grandmother and my grandmother sat on there hair but the health of my hair is very much important. Be blessed.
I have eczema and hair grease is a must for my scalp. It may be frowned upon but I can't live without it.
Finally! I grew up on hair grease with hair down my back!!
I'm in my late 40s and going into menopause and my latter years. Can you create a video for us girls? We want thick and healthy hair, too.
No but Truthishly, my high porosity hair watching me try to seal with an oil: Soooo I’ll see you & the leave in tonight around 8? Coo.
Team Hair Grease 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Currently battling eczema with starter locs. The covid crisis pushed me back into natural hair. I completed the big chop then remained loose natural for a year. Sick of wash days and detangling for hours I decided to embrace locs. Hormonal changes of age worsened my skin/scalp condition. I now have time to focus on scalp health. My true motivation for going natural! To me length isn't my focus. Because I know that a healthy scalp will yield healthy long hair! I'm going to implement some blue magic or sulfur 8 with my self made hair growth oil. Currently it has not been locking in moisture.
I use plan old vaseline with a few drops of rosemary and peppermint oil.
I love grease & also keeping my hair in medium twists vs big twist keeps my hair moisturized longer bigger twist dry out so easily on me especially my roots I have puffy roots 💆🏽♀️
I've always had good results with grease, was relaxed over 20 years now I'm natural, Blue Magic has worked well, I recently added some Amla powder, peppermint oil and rosemary to my grease, will see what the results are after 2 months. It's never clogged my pores....
My goals is on quality right now then growth but I can attest that once I switched from oils to grease in my LOC method. I just do leave in and grease my hair has been thriving!!!
I just bought some blue magic yesterday oldie but goodie. My hair is still moisturized
I am trying to get it waistline but health is very important so it is hard because I constantly have to cut my ends. I don't stress I just enjoy the ride👍🏽
My hair growth length is waist length, but right now I'm focusing on the health, because my scalp...goodness, it's been a hot mess which is why my hair isn't thriving. I blame the hard water where I live, but I'm too lazy to boil water every time. I'd love if you could do a video about how hard water can affect the scalp, if that's even a thing, because I do see the difference.
I was asking my mom about hair care back in the day some time ago, she used to wash her hair with blue soap then use hair grease and she had the most beautiful, thick hair. I'm not saying wash your hair with blue soap, but I find that I was doing too much with my hair and it wasn't happy, I've learned to keep it simple.
I stopped using OILS on my hair and I just been using blue magic and the dollar hair grease MY hair has grown TREMENDOUSLY... I mostly keep my hair in braids cause I wear a wig
Girl same also my scalp isn't as itchy
I'm focusing on health and retention. My hair is shedding in the front and top and breaking on the sides while the middle back is thriving. I was skeptical when I saw your first video, but I am so glad I subscribed anyway. I have learned more from this channel than I have been taught about my hair ever. The video you posted about which oils penatrate the hair shaft turned the tide for me in the struggle with my hair and dryness. It listed flaxseed oil. I have it in my pantry to season my caste iron pans. I mixed some up with fenugreek powder and and water and mist it on my hair and scalp. At first everyday. About 2-3 days in I noticed my hair wasn't dry at the end of the day. At this point deep conditioning once a week in my wash day routine (which I was doing b4 and still dried out in 2-3 days) and misting with the flaxseed oil mixture I don't get dry at all. I may be able to extend my wash day to every 2 wks, which was not a possibility b4. Thank you.
I love grease
Definitely a hidden gem!
I added herbs to my hair grease and it helped my extreme itchy scalp I was so amazed
Yay!! So glad it’s working for you. ☺️
Which herbs did you add?
I honestly don’t have a hair length goal atm. I just focus on the overall health of my hair. Due to situations I’m going through now, I have to adapt change to up keep my hair care regimen.
Thanks!!! Great info!! Been using similar advice from others since Jan 29th and have had great results...seems my hair has grown about 4 inches since then, using the advice of a hair grease mixture!! Obviously it doesn't have to be a mixture....at this point of the journey, I am tweeking what works ON my relaxed fine hair. But hair grease is working for me!! My hair looks like it is in a natural state because I only do braid outs!! So no worries about it being, or looking weighed down!!No heat....
Definitely health more than length! I feel like if I get my hair to a healthier state, the length will come.
What you know about Myrtle Beach ?! 😃 I have no length goal (always had long hair) I just want to keep it thick and healthy. My current goal to get fullness back in my edges.
Great content. I remember at the beginning of my journey, the natural hair community advised to stay away from grease, but grease helped me get to MBL. But protein overload broke my hair, so now I’m working to get back to MBL.
I just relaxed about 2 weeks ago and i hate it!! My hair is shedding severely. I decided to go back natural by doing the big chop. Im pushing for health over lenght right now. I love your videos, they are very imformative.
@tammy brown,you made me remember when i relaxed my hair.I didn't know what to do with my natural hair anymore...so i relaxed it and as soon as i did that😒i regretted it.I just dont like the shrinkage in my natural hair but im trying my best not to go back to the creamy crack
@@somethingspecial1415 dont!! You just have to do trial and error to see what works with your hair. At the end, i no longer tried to figure out my hair type, i just used products that were for my hair. Learn to embrace that shrinkage because in the long run its going to be healthy and beautiful.
@@tammybrown8871 thanks!💗
My hair goal is healthy hair. I know that once I have healthy hair I will receive the growth I desire.
I have a hair grease coming out next month! Can’t wait!!
Grease is a better sealant for my hair than oil. Grease keeps my hair moisturized for days so I have stopped using leave in conditioners on my low porosity hair as it gave me product residue
Healthy and mid-back length. After years of stress, chlorine (Aquacise Instructor 3 years), chemical, mechanical, and heat damage, I've found my go to products brands and home DIY's that my hair and scalp love. Scalp massages are a must so I keep my hair straight, stretched, hydrated, and moisturized. Love the Woman who looks back at you in the mirror Ladies, You're Worth it. Namaste' 🙏🏽
I have locs, and just went back to grease because of shedding. Started using a grease called Nature’s Blessing again (I use it to re-twist and on my scalp and the length of my hair), and shedding has almost completely stopped. I’m at bra strap length now, and going for waist-length, where I’ll keep them trimmed.
Yeah my mom used Indian sage on my hair growing up and it was down my back and she kept my ends trimmed so...
Wow! That’s amazing.
