[@daneshat7795]

The issue people were having with hair grease is the fact that you have to use a sulfate shampoo to wash it out. So you know at the early start of natural hair youtube, they were promoting the curly girl method and using non sulfate based shampoo. Hence grease became public enemy #1.

[@isidoraveronica]

I actually used a regular soap to take it off

[@spadayenterprises5888]

Check out Curly Chemist. She's a formally educated Master Chemist who recently made a vid on hair grease. She specifically says that sulfates, though effective, are not REQUIRED to remove grease. ACV rinse and/or bentonite clay also do the trick and she backs it up with molecular chemistry and proven scientific facts.

Good point! Also the cowashes took over and there is no way you're getting grease out with a conditioner.

I stopped deep conditioning years ago it's another gimmick and a time waster. I don't need to add an extra 30 to 45 minutes extra to my already long routine. I think people who stopped using grease probably need it because their hair is always chronically dry and starving for moisture. Grease makes it so you don't need to deep condition. A quick condition is fine.

[@binam7324]

Sound like you need to use just vaseline 100% white petrolatum skin protectant it moisturizes the hair and seal. It helps your hair not shed. Ever body hair can't take all those ingredients. My daughter had hair to her waist with vaseline when my mother was doing her hair and when I started using other products her hair started falling out. Now I'm back to using vaseline for about 5 months now her hair went from neck length to middle of her back now and it's very thick. I just finished using vaseline on my hair. I've started back using it for past 3 months and it's filled in my hair in the top and it's a lot thicker and it's now growing longer. Put your hair in a protective style and only wash it every 1-2 weeks with aussie 7N1 shampoo and aussie miracle moist conditioner it works wonders even on my daughters 4c hair. I have used Dax and blue magic and it's great for some but vaseline first in the beginning is better. I hope you try this and it works for you. By the way my aunt used this on my cousins hair and up until they were teenagers they sit on their hair and she also put a little baby oil with the vaseline and they had long thick braids💕

I won't put down the natural hair movement because it thought me to love and really know how to take care of my hair. But I did waste money and tried a looooootttt of expensive products that made my hair dry or didn't give slip. I now make my own hair products with ayurvedic herbs and my hair is really thick now. Only thing is that I still lack in length retention so I want to incorporate greasing my ends.

[@earthtoaura528hz]

I never stopped using grease! So happy to see everyone returning to their roots. 🥰✨😍

[@kesirandall2755]

Yes yes, hair grease as a child. My mom used blue magic and Dax alternating between the two. My hair was always braided , but it was thick and extremely long. I still use a natural grease or pure lanolin in solid form but I do use a leave in conditioners times when using my grease. I use grease along side my staple natural hair products and DIY flax seed gel, and oils. My hair is coming back and plus that’s how I maintain my daughters hair.

[@vanessaclark3443]

I use Blue Magic to seal and Sulfur 8 to grease my scalp. I never seen Dax in person before and never saw it used growing up, but I want to try it but it's hard to find in the East Coast! I love me some grease! It's understandable that we take it for granted as kids because it's not like we had a choice in what was used on our hair, but it's sad how as adults a lot of us just stopped using it and forgot how great it is. It's literally designed for our hair and has been used by our ancestors! Our hair needs moisture to thrive, grease as a sealant does just that, hence is why by using it, our hair thrives and grows stronger, healthier, and softer. It's a perfect science ❤️.

[@honestytruthreality931]

It’s so true we had long hair just using grease and had no problems with split ends cause the grease gave a lot of slip now these moisturizer they say they have just goes through the hair and dries out am going back to my grease my hair was so silky smooth

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

Honesty truth Reality yup!👌🏽👍🏽

[@Camille-sv9tg]

Started back using blue magic hair grease, i won't use anything else, my hair loves it❤❤

[@PurpleDiamondQueen]

I actually just used grease for the first time on my toddlers hair to seal with. Her hair is so soft.

[@ShayBlossom]

My baby just turned 13 months. I don't know if it will be too heavy for her hair

[@Beencouraged777]

Yes, love hair grease. It works great for me. The message about clogging pores is not true. Love your pigtails❤️❤️

[@Nicole215]

*Your hair looks beautiful. I can totally relate to everything you stated in your video! It's amazing how many of our mothers used DAX on our hair. 😊 I recently got tired of using product after product so I finally ordered DAX online a month ago. My hair was always in the middle of my back thanks to my mother washing and braiding my hair. This provided lots of moisture and added protection for my hair. I'm going back to what works for me!* ❤️

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

Hey Nicole. That’s what I’m saying. I started to feel as though I was lying to my subscribers (I wasn’t though lol), just to promote (for free) products that didn’t even work. Don’t get me wrong, I have found a couple of gems, but not in the masses. Old school it is for me.

[@ladlesandoven]

It’s 2020 and Africans from Africa never stopped using hair grease 👍🏻

Listen, Im about to wash and condition my hair and use my Blue Magic grease because......THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT SEALS MY ENDS LIKE CRAAAAZZZYYY! I love grease for my 4B hair. I need it! Blue Magic, Royal Crown, Dax, Ultra Sheen, bring it over here... and if my hair tooooo dry in the winter, Cmon Sulfur 8! It's about to go Dowwwwnnnnnn!!!

Go head girl with the whole grease list 😅 I will definitely start back with this stuff in my hair lol and will use it in my daughters hair and hopefully when she has kids she can pass it down to hers

[@BornDevine116]

I've use Dax all my life, I'm old school.

[@SuperstarYolie]

Yes, I use anything that my hair loves and the first being hair grease at home my mom would use primarily Blue Magic or Ultra Sheen, my grandmother would use sulfur 8 so I'm accustomed to all 3. I still from time to time use Blue Magic. People fail to realize that not only was it the products our parents had accessible go them, it was also either a weekly routine or so to get your hair washed, greased, styled and most parents were not lighthanded in the process but that's what we now call scalp and head messages. They helped our healthy hair growth during our youth.

[@Nina513]

We almost have the same exact hair texture and curl pattern. 😍 I told myself that in 2020 I’m going back to my childhood basics. Just greased my scalp for the first time in years on Sunday post-washing and I’m loving the shine and feel. Looking forward to healthier, thicker and darker hair in 2020. This video is confirmation that I’m in on the right path. Thank you! 😫😂

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

You're welcome doll. I couldn't keep on trying to convince myself that I liked the other products on the market.

[@donnacooper6335]

I remember...and you’re right!!!! It grew my hair as well.🤩

[@carmencitadavis3751]

I use Vaseline petroleum jelly, red iodine olive oil you can also add essential oils lavender oil peppermint oil rosemary oil, I have been sticking to the old tradition since I have been growing up as a child now I know there are a lot of people when they see these new hair tradition that people on KZbin come out with some new trend, they change what they have grown up on that actually works for them, because they wanted to join the bandwagon of the new trend, but me personally I stick to the old regimen because it works best for me

[@traiemaescott7073]

Spot on!!! My mom used the Dax that smelled like tar. The purple one😆 my hair grew though!

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. I have Alopecia and my hair is growing back. Going back to hair grease today. Thanks for the wonderful video. Keep up the good work.

[@chynaqt7650]

I always used hair grease even when i was fully relaxed had long healthy hair.My routine is shampoo,conditioner,leave in conditioner &grease to scalp ,oil moisturizer,shea butter .This works for bantu knots ,& braidouts (im transitioning great results.Main thing is moisture never let your hair dry 😌

[@angelabrookins4743]

Yes yes i am with you i never stop useing grease its the only thing that work all the time. I just use the right combs now instead of afro combs i use shower combs and wide teeth combs now. But grease is my everything love. I learn to twist my hair now so i did learn something. But sticking w/ my grease yeah old school

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

Same! The most I may use for styling outside of grease is gel, other than that... Grease all the way lol.

[@mightylara2372]

It was washed with V05, scalp moisturized with Vaseline, or stay soft fro (I think). When my mom used heat (Easter, picture day, and Christmas) she used pressing oil to protect. I didn’t perm my hair until I went to college.

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

You literally had the same regimen as me. My mum used VO5 shampoo and conditioner. Before she started using Dixie Peach hair grease, she used to use Vaseline and only hot combed my hair on special occasions. Lol. I guess there was some "how to manage your child's hair" handbook we didn't know about lol.

[@KaylaMarie_]

I just bought some grease and its been doing wonders from my hair. So shiny and soft. My mom used dax on my hair when I was a kid and I'm officially back on that train.

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

Yaaay. I literally can't do my hair without grease now lol

[@Westindiantoffee]

Finally a video on Dax!!!! I grew up on this as a child in the Caribbean! Yes it worked well on my hair type which is very coarse! Years later I used it to twist my locs and it did wonders! I'm going to start back using it!

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

You're welcome. Keep at it! My kids and my hair has flourished from grease.

[@artistcarolinateresita7803]

Old school hair grease Is the best! Always been in my household as far as I can remember. My dad used it. 💁

[@ShayBlossom]

My dad old school too. He would just say oh just put some grease in her hair and brush it out. But This was when I was already use to getting relaxers at teenager age.

[@NancyGooGoo]

My mom used to do the exact same thing! Shoot - now that we're all home and can't go to the hair salon, I think I'm going to wash and braid my hair the exact same way - LOL! The down side for me, is that when the hair drys up, it becomes tighter and sometimes gives me a headache. By the way, I used Dax back in the day, as well. It definitely had something to do with my hair growing long, too. In fact, I may want to get it again. This brought back some really nice memories of when my Mom did my hair when I was a kid!! So glad I watched this video!

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

Awww, thank you. Glad I was able to bring back those nice memories. 🤗

[@amycrumedy6586]

Bergamot and olive oil mixed in it that is what grew my hair as a kid.

Hello dear one. Yes. My mother used Kocatah dax grease on my hair and it smelled. It never bothered me the smell that is because eventually evaporated. When I got older probably in the teens started using the green dax which smelled much better yet my fine hair flourished with the black one.

[@somethingspecial1415]

​@@olharleypurrs,hi do you still use the black dax?

[@bessdacosta2014]

There is nothing like the good old fashion hair grease. I don't think it did any damage to our hair and our hair grew. These days your hair fall out breaks, you edges get damaged and you keep switching from one hair product to another. Not to mention the expense.

[@samlevy8880]

I think that it was a ploy to get us to buy their collection of products which really were not all it promised to do to our hair...before we knew it..so much dollars were spent needlessly for the damages that some of these new fangled products caused. I am so happy to see us go back to what worked for our hair..and the products delivered its promises. Thank you for sharing the real truth about Dax. I was a Blue Magic user also. Keeping it simple, using protective hairstyles, and our hair grew in the usage of grease..Yes..yes. Please keep producing your vlogs. Always a fan.. Dory💥🌻

what style did u put ur hair in

[@wildflower462]

Really cute👍🏽. I just started using grease again last year. I use my WEN by Chaz Dean cleansing conditioner as my leave-in then grease. I’ve noticed my skin has an allergic reaction to Blue Magic so I bought Softee and Ultra Sheen and those are great. My mother used to use Ultra Sheen...Sulfur 8 and Dax. I’m just using the Softee right now but occasionally just sniff the Ultra Sheen...I know it sounds weird but the scent brings back good memories. Thank you for the video.

[@MissLaurenLeigh11]

Thank you. I have so many more greases that I want to try, mainly the ones that you mentioned.

[@wildflower462]

Miss Lauren Leigh11 cool beans. I have sensitive skin so I have to be careful. I’m now using Chébé powder.

As a child it was Blue Magic coconut oil grease, a spray bottle, comb and brush. Now for me it's their Super Sure Gro and/or Indian Hemp, a leave in conditioner and a comb and wet brush

[@clbthedolly]

I grew up using sulfur 8 and blue magic. I just bought sulfur 8 at my hair store because I’ve been having an issue with dry scalp for the longest. I put it in and my scalp feels so good! I also put Dax pomade in my hair to do chiney bumps and it made my hair to soft! I’m going back to using grease and only grease with water! Hopefully I will see hair growth!

Dax was the black girl magic grease , growing up. Me and my sister had thick long hair . Until we got older to do our own hair , that’s when it started falling out. Putting perms in our hair . It’s always good to back to your roots.
