HOW TO USE HAIR GREASE FOR MAXIMUM HAIR GROWTH

 Most people are really skeptical when it comes to using hair grease for hair growth. Well, before now I felt hair grease wasn't needed in the hair routine not until i joined this hair grease challenge.  The results have been incredible so far and that's why i thought to share this on my blog.

What is GREASE?

Grease is usually a combination of petroleum (cleaned up sludge from the earth) and mineral oil (even cleaner, liquefied sludge from the earth). Petroleum-based products come from the same Earth that we pollute every day with factory run off, pharmaceuticals, household chemicals, etc. It is used in cosmetic products and medicinal creams.

What I Have Noticed Since I Started Using Hair Grease

• My ends stay moisturized
• Less breakage
• Fuller hair
• Longer edges and nappy curls
• More defined coil pattern
• More moisture retention

Benefits of using Hair Grease

• It is a sealant which makes it ideal for treating frizz.
• When looking for a way to get sleek edges in your latest style, hair grease might be just the trick you are looking for.
• It’s also good for getting a light hold minus the crunch factor of hairsprays.
• It is the best way to define coils on 4 hair type

No two heads of curls/coils are the same. So while using grease on your hair, you need to also pay attention to your hair and make sure it loves what you are using and it is healthy. You should use whatever works to keep your hair from breaking and help you achieve the styles you like.

    

Things To Watch Out For When Using Grease

If grease makes your hair look and feel good, that's great for you and you should use it, but there are some things you should bear in mind:

• SHAMPOO FREQUENTLY

Grease attracts more dirt than other products and it can easily build up and clog the cuticle layer. Clogged cuticles prevent the hair from reaching its optimal moisture level which will make it more breakage prone than ever.

You need to shampoo your hair once a week and if you work out, you need to make it a lot more frequent. The best long term routine includes washing with a gentle shampoo once a week. The routine is shampoo, condition, water, grease, repeat.

Make sure you don’t apply the grease to your scalp without apply water or any form of moisturizer first cause it will only promote dandruff growth.

• BE CAREFUL OF BUILD UPS

You’ll know the grease is too heavy if you have to work to create volume/fullness on your finished style and anything that leads to more manipulation should be avoided.

So, be careful of the hair grease you choose, especially if you have thin fine hair and low porosity hair. It’s not just the ingredients that matter, the recipe also matters too. 

If you notice your hair breaking even when it’s moisturized (e.g. within a day of  fresh wash), it could be the extra weight from the grease that's causing it.

• HAIR GREASE IS A SEALANT NOT A MOISTURIZER

Many people get confused when it comes to this but I need you to understand that hair grease only seals in moisture and lubricates your hair. Son don't go putting only hair grease on your hair without moisturizing it first. If your hair is of HIGH POROSITY, then i strongly recommend hair grease for you so as to reduce the lose of moisture in your hair strands.

 Hair grease works very well as a sealant, though it’s heavier than other products and it attracts more dirt. So, if you have very fine hair or acne prone skin, you should choose a silicone serum instead.
