I've been avoiding hair grease for years because of the natural hair community. But after 3 ou 4 days, my hair was always dry. I went back to grease. Best decision ever. My hair are soooo soft and moisturize for 10 days straight. No more tangles. It's amazing.

Gimmi my Blue Magic forever😂😂😂. My hair thrives with hair grease. Sometimes we put so many products in our hair while simplicity is the best.

[@BrookeSayles]

Rightttt I just started back with blue magic and baby my hair is so soft and manageable. I’ve heard others say it helps reduce single strand knots 🪢 which are my mortal enemy.

[@yeslia2010Godis]

As a licensed Cosmetologist I approve of this message.. I have used grease for years and recommended my clients to use it. As a chemist you are spot on with your tips and recommendations.. Loved the hair tutorial!! You are Beauty & Brains🤗

I plan on trying this method on my hair and my 4 yr old daughter’s hair. Would it be necessary to clarify our hair each wash day using this method

[@Jai-ling]

​@@jadahtaylor6440No. Just a normal shampoo. Or moisturizing shampoo. But try and see

[@pragooutube]

YES to more tutorials! Yay! 😃 My tips that have aided my length retention, though I'm early in the game (3.5 yrs natural, 15/16 inches, fine 4a,b and mostly c hair, normal to high porosity) 1- Medium twists in a tucked under ponytail style or twisted in a bun (Use silk woogies only) 2- Retwist every week 3- Wipe scalp with cloth using a diluted acv and distilled water solution when retwisting each week🎉 4- I use a mix of Sulphur 8, Top Brass, peppermint, lavender and rosemary essential oils on my scalp when retwisting. 5- Water, leave in, grease in that order on hair length when retwisting 6- spritz scalp with herbal tea water blend every 2 nights, mist hands and smooth it down twists as well, add extra leave in and grease on ends. 7- Prepoo with deep conditioner and olive oil, spritzing first with herbal water blend, the night before wash day- just slather and squeeze it into twists without loosing, tie down. 8- Detangle before washing in the morning, put in bigger twists to wash- loose at the roots, tight at the ends with extra deep conditioner on ends 9- Shampoo twice in twists , loose each twist on final rinse to rinse thoroughly then twist back up 10- deep condition in twists etc 11- Trim a quarter inch twice a year once your ends are always (90% of time) protected by being tucked away 12- Cover with silk scarf rather than bonnet, and slather leave in on exposed parts of hair before covering, so that in the morning your hair is very neat 13- I got more, but this is WAYYYY too long! 😅😂

[@lblair6675]

Wow! This sounds like a LOT...You put in the work; you get the results, though, right? Thanks for sharing!

[@Ms_Jaye]

Why would you pre-poo with deep conditioner?

[@pragooutube]

@@Ms_Jaye I do that to saturate and strengthen my hair beforehand, because I don't deep condition after in the usual way. I use that as a hack so I don't have to get out of the shower and go back in to rinse out anything. That's very annoying to me. Lol. After shampooing I get out the shower and put a leave in that can double as a deep conditioner, give it indirect heat and then style my hair in twists. No rinsing out again.

[@pragooutube]

@@lblair6675 I do it in such a way that it doesn't feel like a lot though. I mixed the stuff I put on my scalp in a little container, so application is an quick and easy massage. Wiping my scalp doesn't take much time as I wipe the base of each twist before retwisting. Wash day (once a month or every 3 weeks) takes less than 2 hours from detangling to styling (if you don't count slathering my twists the night before). Medium twists also take way less time than mini. I make the herbal tea spray every couple of months or so and freeze it so I have quick access each week. So I feel like a real lazy natural when it comes to my hair. 😄

[@TheMarvelousBeautyChannel1]

2 months ago I finally decided to just go back completely to water and grease. That's what my aunts used to use on my hair when I was a little girl and my hair was completely down my back not constantly breaking off etc. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. I grew up in the '70s and '80s when there wasn't all these different hair products and things that we started running to put in our hair. Even my wash day has been so much better less tangles not spending almost 2 hours to detangle, just a much better experience all around. I even threw a bottle of good old pink oil moisturizer in there for good measure. 😅😂 Happy Hair Days Ladies and Gentlemen. Be safe and be blessed out there. To the creator of this content Thank you for sharing this information.

[@kdubbs5216]

As a kid, my mom used hair grease religiously on my natural hair. My hair thrived, grew, whatever, when she used it. Fast forward nearly 40 years, and I still see the same results today. I get frustrated when folks in the natural hair community, especially, demonize hair grease. And they can't back it up with science to dispel or prove whatever they're pushing. I have no idea how it works or why it works, but I see results every. single. time. It makes me think that some of the "old ways" of doing things are oftentimes better (though not every time). Thanks for this. Feels good to find someone in this space who can verify/attest to the benefits of hair grease backed by science. Enjoyed this!

I agree! Unlike what people generally say about grease weighing down fine strands- I've found that grease helps with the problems I used to face with my fine strands!

I love hair grease in the winter time especially because it just seems to do a better job of preserving moisture in that dry winter air. For me in order to retain length I am just staying on top of dead and split ends. I trim every 3 to 4 months, I make moisturizing a priority over styling, I stay in a bonnet when I am at home, and I use sunblock on my hair when I know I'm going to be spending a lot of time outside.

[@CaraNaturally]

I absolutely want to more tutorials from you! Love it!❤❤❤. Since I work from home now and don’t leave the house every day, I’ve ramped up my protective styling. I wash, deep condition, LCO and cornrow my hair straight back weekly. I wear a headband wig for zoom meetings or when I need to run out. I’ve seen a huge difference in shedding, thickness and length retention. I spray my scalp with a green tea, clove, rosemary tea blend 3x per week and oil my scalp with my diy Ayurvedic oil nightly. My hair is loving it.

[@buyintaka742]

Nothing beats hair grease, hands down my best sealant.Whenever my Palmers one runs out I use vaseline. I moisturise my hair, slap on grease then twist it up. I wash my hair once a week then re-moisturise once in between wash days. This routine and keeping my hair generally covered has done wonders for retaining my length. Great video Tonya!😊

[@CurlyChemistry]

That's the secret and it works!! Thank you! :-)

[@KarlaBedminister]

My mother used hair grease for years but our hair wasn't soft, always broke off and was being combed each day with the same grease being reapplied. My hair in particular didn't even use to shine after washing but when she used coconut oil it shone. We are now using oils and butters and our hair flourishes.

[@GiaTorrisi]

Thank you! Went back to blue magic. Along with cream of nature shampoo and conditioner. That combo has my daughters hair waist length. Can’t do the $20 shampoo and conditioner anymore. The expensive new stuff leads you a becoming a product junkie bc it either doesn’t work well, or it doesn’t last bc you have to wash and apply every 2 days. The 90’s stuff resulted in longer, healthier, better.

My all-time favorite KZbin stylist @Afrikanhairgod is always preaching “water & hair grease, water & hair grease, water & hair grease !!” I finally gave it another chance to figure out how to make it work for me and so glad I did!!!! I was styling with conditioner and over saturated my hair everyday causing it to be a constant mess of fairy knots, no length retention, and weak hair. But with grease and a light spritz, my bun waves aren’t as sleek but overall hair is thriving and roots are very moisturized ❤🌀

First of all, I love your channel and all the informative content! Second, can you do a video on adding MSM powder to hair products. Last, here are some things that I have learned from this channel, and other natural hair enthusiast here on KZbin: 1. Weekly deep condition with homemade fenugreek mask 2. Weekly washes with shampoo (I use Pattern) 3. Every 2/3 days I remoisten my hair with an aloe vera juice, spritz (I use one from a company called curls) 4. Seal ends with a homemade beeswax and shea sealant 5. I add a few scoops of MSM powder to my mask, spritz and sealant. 6. I make 4-10 twist with my hair and then gather them to make two pigtails with an elastic band 7. I started trimming my ends every 8 weeks (some people may need less trims) 8. I drink 64oz water a day and end my day with a fruit and veggie (usually spinach) smoothie 9. I fast for 36 hours once a week That's all I got, ain't got no more! Thank you for the videos!

Last year I lost a lot of growth in the front due to my hair being extremely dry. To resolve this issue I bought a water softener but most importantly I’ve started using oil’s again. The amount of hair fall during my shower and while styling has decreased tremendously due to oil usage. I’ve also started to incorporate a lot of your tips and tricks and my hair is now very easy to part after washing. I can create sections without a comb. Thank you! I’m glad I found your channel. 😊

Hi Tonya. I just want to say Thank you for introducing grease. I was raised on hair grease then I got grown and started doing my own thing (bad move) BUT I am back to basics. My scalp is thanking me. My hair is shiny moisturized and I can go for a week without doing anything to my hair (as far as getting up in the morning and spraying water on my hair). Thank you so much

[@shanstereo7022]

You give the absolute best advice for hair care. My hair would be a dry frizzy broken mess with out your videos. My hair gets so long now that I know how to use Vaseline to care for it and it's beautiful. I just cut 4 inches off the back though because it's just too hot and humid right now. But I had the confidence to do that because I know I can grow it back easily by winter. Thank you Curly Chemistry!

[@AngelaCelesteMay]

Thank you for this tutorial. I find it helpful to see how you actually apply it. What works for growing my hair is massaging my scalp either every night or every other night for a good three to four minutes, keeping it stretched in twist outs or braid outs when it's not in a protective style about 25% to 50% of the time, taking my time to thoroughly, gently, and patiently finger detangling with of leave in conditioner for slip before combing, definitely being patient when combing from the bottom up so that I'm not losing strands, knowing my moisture cycle which, for my high porosity to medium high porosity hair which is moisturizing either every day or every other day, and on wash days always, always doing a hot oil treatment before I wash using a combination of castor oil, olive oil, camellia oil and rosemary essential oil and sometimes peppermint oil as well (all known for helping with hair growth), and using both a protein conditioner followed by a moisturizing conditioning mask. My hair is very dense and high porosity but my strands are fine to medium strands so grease in the past has weighed it down. However, after watching your video I'm going to try again with a lighter touch and see how my hair does. It's possible that I put too much grease in the last time I tried it. Thanks again!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Thank you for sharing!! And you're so welcome! :-)

[@AngelaCelesteMay]

Oh, I forgot to add that I always do a cool acv rince as my last step on wash day, and lightly oil my scalp with Sulfer 8 (only on wash day) before moving on to my moisturizing and sealing my hair. 💛

It's time to revisit this old routine. Thanks for what you do ❤.

I use blue magic hair grease to lubricate the ends of my hair to keep them smooth!

[@DIYsbyDivv]

5:07 For length retention, switching to a hair conditioner with lots and lots of slip helped. Before LORYS, I'd end up cutting knots frequently on wash days because the bottle conditioners I used in the past weren't as great at closing my cuticles and creating slip.I would use up almost half a bottle with meh conditioning 😅. I have very tight coily hair, o shape curls, literaly like a compressed spring. So no conditioner = fewer wash days abd no brushing. Now I can wash my hair and scalp as often as I need to, usually every 7days. Learnt lots about what ingredients to look out for from your content so thank you so much! ❤

[@hometowngirlncurls5669]

Thank you advocating for hair grease! I've been using it for the past 4 years and I've seen a lot of growth. I usually apply grease after I add in my leave in. Then I put my hair in a protective style that lasts 2 weeks. Shampoo my hair every 2 weeks because being a mom of 2 under 2, I don't have the time. I love wearing loose twists or twists hairstyles that lasts for 3-4 weeks but I also clean my scalp with ACV rinse and oil my scalp with hemp seed oil (I learned that from one of your videos) since my scalp gets dry and itchy. I also found that grease as a sealant allows my hair to be moisturized for a longer period of time.

[@IndigooceanOrg]

My hair grew the most when I had it in locs and I think that's simply because I wasn't combing it out all the time. I washed it every 2-4 weeks, used a leave-in conditioner at the roots where it wasn't fully loc'd, and used oil after washing to seal moisture in. That's it. Would have been down to my butt if I hadn't kept cutting it back to brastrap length (or shorter) for less weight pulling at my neck. I cut and combed out the locs a year ago, but now I'm in the process of getting back to that basic idea, just with twists I retwist once a month so that it doesn't actually loc and I can do blowout styles when I feel like it. I do use grease on the ends sometimes (Dax Hemp version), but seem to do better with a blend of castor and baobab oil.

I use the following DIY oils for my hair growth: EVO, Castor, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Sandalwood, Cloves & Rosemary. (They are all mixed together). I apply them 3 nights a week before bed (cover with a plastic cap and satin cap). Also, I apply the oil mixture to my scalp immediately after I wash & deep condition my hair (once a week), just before I apply my leave-in conditioner and then style. I leave the same style in all week (usually just 1 braid). After sealing my ends with hair grease, I clip the braid up so that it doesn't rub up against my shoulders/clothes. Daily, I spritz my hair with water, apply the leave-in conditioner to my hair and braid without taking it down. I'm already noticing more growth then I would normally see in 4-5 months. So something is working. Also, I take my supps and drink a LOT of water each day.

[@my1stlove130]

I oiled my scalp with real Jamaican black castor oil that my friend brought back from vacation it’s very different from the different brands that’s sold in America and it’s had a very strong different smells too it’s smells like chocolate I mixed it with pumpkin seed oil and massage my scalp and spritz my hair with a liquid leavein conditioner then I cover my hair with a plastic bag because I don’t want my castor oil to go to waste on my pillow case and I want it to penetrate my scalp with the green house method too. So far I’m loving it I’m going to add some essential oil to it but I feel as though the castor oil is so strong because it’s made the traditional way it actually tingles my scalp. I did a fast Etsy search for the same brand I have and an 8oz bottle is a whopping $40 😅. I will definitely rebuy it I thing I’m going to make a concoction with pumpkin seed oil the castor oil, vitamin E oil and peppermint oil and lavender oil.

I know this video is a year old, but what helped me retain length the most after years of having dry, awkward length 4c hair is: 1) Regularly trimming/dusting my ends 2) Focusing on moisturizing my ends 3) Alternating a deep conditioner (for moisture), protein treatment (for strength/structure), & hot oil treatment (for dullness) every wash day based on my hair’s needs (I wash 2x a month; in b/w and while wearing protective styles; & all with a heat cap) 4) Doing tea rinses at the end of my hair wash (encourages thickness, reduces shedding, adds strength, stimulates growth)

I fell into the hole of not using grease, not using live hair conditioner, not using all of the old-school stuff, and while my hair was doing OK, after having kids, it just went haywire. Now that I have babies, my hair has changed and their hair doesn’t respond to just the natural hair products. So I’ve started using grease in their hair and the manageability is day and night day and night. I’m reverting back to the old-school method, our ancestors knew what they were doing.

[@pansiesplace4446]

Since I big chopped 7 years ago I only made it to shoulder length. I spent the first five years wearing wash and go’s because I have 3b/c hair. It was just easy. But I wasn’t retaining length with all the constant detangling I had to do. Then I saw a recurring theme about maintaining stretched hair. I’ve been doing that for 18 months now and I’m bra strap length now. So no more wash and go’s for me. Maybe for a special occasion but never going back to that!

[@flawed_yet_worthy]

How do you stretch your hair do you use heat on heatless methods....id love to hear your response

[@pansiesplace4446]

@@flawed_yet_worthy I rotate dring on cool with rev air and sometimes I just let my hair dry naturally. It's not necessary to get bone-straight hair just get it to the point that it's not curling in on itself. Also, the secret is not in the drying. The daily style you wear is more important to me. So no matter how I dry. I braid or twist my hair for the entire week so that there is no tangling. This is how I keep my hair stretched and untangled. I rotate styles but the ends are always braided or twisted. All I do is re-moisture without undoing the style halfway thru the week.

I'm glad I found you! Questions: 1. Since hair grease is petroleum-based, is it safe to use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly instead of the traditional hair grease? 2. If it's safe, can I mix essential oils into the Vaseline? 3. I use peppermint and lavender essential oils for hair growth. How many drops of each should I put in the Vaseline? Thank you.

[@Tjeane18]

I love using oils on my twists but my using my leave in with grease might just be the answer to going a full week without re oiling instead of every few days!

[@shedori92]

Great video! Thanks for what you do, Tonya! 🫶🏾

[@livingharmoniousvibes]

Thank you for this!! Definitely would love more tutorials! I’m still working on length retention 😬

[@CurlyChemistry]

More to come! :-)

[@cynthiahillian]

Honey.. Thank you. I have stopped using grease perse, I use Vaseline. Straight up ..!!! On my hair..only... Wet or damp..keeps it very moisturized. Conditioner and grease... Old school. I am no longer a product junky.....

[@semoneg2826]

Vaseline is grease....it was just one of the first brand made

[@lisabarclay9374]

Thank you Tanya I was always wondering about this topic and I stop using grease because I was wetting my hair too much and also using too grease I will give it try . And yes I will love to see more videos like this 😊

[@CurlyChemistry]

You're welcome Lisa! :-)

[@patriciaphillips1349]

So true I am using grease for some time and I am seeing less breaking and more length ❤🇬🇾

[@muffledalla3121]

Boy did I need a tutorial like this..am going to buy my stash of hair grease

[@Natural2020_]

Hey, you mentioned at the end it doesn't clog the pores of the scalp. Does that mean you would recommend putting it directly on the scalp? I added grease into my routine about two months ago and the length retention has been crazy ever since. I keep my hair in plaits or twists. I started 2024 at armpit length, I'm now nearly at mid-back length.

[@Neesha242]

Shea butter, and coconut oil in hair products are my favorites. Grease is my fav too. Those are my mains!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Love it!! Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@faithwithrachael]

Yes enjoyed seeing how you used the grease on your hair!

[@jdbailey442]

I use non-petroleum hair grease. I keep my hair in twists, so it works great for retaining moisture until wash day. Natural Oasis, G Natural, and Kemistry Organics are a few of my faves. Let me put some in my hair now after my leave in conditioner!

[@9806josephine]

I have 3 questions is hair grease good on the scalp as well? Or just the hair itself? Should I put anything on my scalp at all? I love this tutorial very informational thank you so much. Please do more for I am natural and wanting to keep my hair growing

[@uniquelylechelle1064]

Loved the tutorial!! ❤❤ thanks for a great video!

You're welcome! :-)

My absolute FAVORITE grease is Dax with Lanolin! My hair is very dense, medium-fine, 3c-4a, medium-high porosity, and almost tailbone length. I tried grease-free, and I tried Blue Magic, but they don't compare.

[@CurlyChemistry]

I just got a jar of Dax w/ Lanolin, I like it! :-)

[@demi5378]

​@CurlyChemistry Have to try this, my blue magic is almost gone. Thx

[@Cantetinza17]

My hair has had breakage, so I decided to go back to using grease.

[@mrs.demming8916]

How do you keep it from looking frizzy the next day? Does anyone use gel with the grease? If so, please tell me your routine. My hair is too fine for twists. I tried just leave in and grease and looked like I had been in a fight when humidity hit.

[@tarjibroomfield8458]

Same. I can’t wear twists either because my hair is so thin.

[@afnanebrhim3892]

Protective hairstyles and moisturising ❤

[@marcywise7799]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I LOVE the video tutorial on how to moisturize with hair grease! I have some blue magic but because of all hair grease hate and the no oils butters stuff being said I’m STILL a little wary 😢🙄😢But I trust your knowledge so I just got to get over it. Thank you for this. I will rewatch until I get a breakthrough!!!! Will the hair grease come out with a regular shampoo or must I CLARIFY???

[@tonyagore8042]

Hi, Tonya (spelled correctly by the way) My name is Tonya, Thank you for sharing your knowledge along with explanations and visuals!! I have been using petroleum grease for a long, especially since I now have unruly gray hair. I put the grease on my shaft and then braid, I need to add water as well. I noticed you did not use hair grease on your scalp. I use it on my scalp as well, to keep the gray hair smoother. Is that wrong?

[@justdream1sttv924]

I had the same question!!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Hey! Hair grease on the scalp is perfectly fine! In this video, I was just more focused on my hair. :-)

[@carolmc9066]

Thanks for the tutorial about moisturizing, however, I notice lots of women hair is THINNING on the crown, however, do U have any info how to prevent hair thinning.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Hey! Yes, I recently did a video on thinning hair, you can find it on my channel. :-)

[@LK-mg8pn]

Thanks so much! I did love this video. I’m going to get back to using grease bc it was all I used as a little girl! Question.. do u have a favorite that smells good or at least less “greasy”? I remember always smelling like I was heading to Easter Sunday service in my patent leather shoes, LOL!!! Thanks again sis❤

[@michellebiggs4412]

Hello Lady Thank you for the visual !!! I Love it

[@newstart2388]

Love the tutorial!!! More please!! I've been using my blue magic hair grease for my scalp on wash days while it's still wet. Game changer!! I also use it to retain moisture after using my aloe vera juice with whole cloves spray mix and my hair is doing very well. All of these tips I received from you so Thank you so much!!! Could I request a video on old skool product replacements? Once the old faithfuls are off the market or out of stock, what are some new products that are close or better? For example Queen Helene Cholesterol and Lady Hilda Hair creme to name a few. Looking forward to the next vid!!!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Thank you for the video suggestion! I love that idea! :-)

@@CurlyChemistry Who better to ask than the Chemist herself? I look forward to seeing what you discover for us🙌🏽 Thank you for all your research Curly Chemist!

[@Shelly_R]

So funny, going back to old school. I used to do this on my own hair growing up when I did ponytails. I have returned to good ole Blue Magic, and I add a few drops of essential oils that I like, peppermint and lavender. All good!

[@abrakongo9366]

Loved the tutorial, yes definitely more like this please!! 👌🏾👌🏾

[@lonalis4224]

I listened to too much hearsay and my ends keep tangling together. When i use grease my ends do not tangle and it stays moisturised for longer. The grease was not our problem it was not using a leave in before applying the grease it makes the hair more easier to comb there are also different greases to choose from so they are not all heavy.

[@CJ-xg6ii]
