No flakes or anything. My dresser suggested not to grease for two weeks as a test. Now i dont at all. She said some blacks stunt growth by having clogged scalps with all the extra oil.
It doesn't dry my hair out at all. I also do a hot oil treatment (concotion of EVOO & Peppermint oil) every Friday night.

I use parnevu oil
Parnevu grease
dax supergro oil
olive oil creme (for my ends)
And thinking about ordering some MTG
I grease my haie I know that I don't use alot of grease because I don't like my hair to be heavy, I know that a little grease get into my scalp because when I comb my hair back I feel it but it is not intentional. My scalp never drys or flake up I use a good evoo regimen.

Right now I am alternating between Lenzi's Requent and MTG (I'm using each for a month to compare growth results). When I first joined the board I stopped greasing, but I've found that grease agrees with my scalp. I do stay away from petroleum though and wash often to prevent build up.

I stopped using grease on my scalp this year after i stopped relaxing. The more flakes i had the more i would grease a vicious cycle. So now NOTHING goes on my scalp except water and condish/poo at wash time. However, i do use grease on my length. I am currently using dax's lanolin and gro-line's indian sage hair dressing.
I used to have "dandruff" back when I was little, and my mom used to put grease on my scalp. It never seemed to help, no matter what kind it was. I never greased my scalp when I started doing my own hair, and my dandruff miraculously went away. I must have also had the "viscous cycle" foxy mentioned. The only time I ever notice anything flaking/built up on my scalp is when I've put something heavy on it. So I just don't bother. My scalp is better for it. I spray Hairever on it (water based) but that's it.

Another grease monkey here. My hair thrives off of grease. I usually use the B&B grow grease (or something like that) or the African Pride hair grease. I wash my hair once a week so there's no time for build-up. Not to mention, my scalp DRINKS grease so I doubt that there will ever be any anyway. I grease my scalp every other day and wash on Sunday's. My scalp loves me for it.

I will never quit grease bc:
1. when I have new growth and I just conditioned, it keeps my new growth softer.
2. A bit applied to my ends keeps it protected
3. After relaxing my scalp is dry and flaky if I don't apply it
4. Oils just disappear/evaporate into my scalp
5. I use a light formulation bc my hair is fine.
6. Once or twice a week is normally sufficient

Last week I found that "greasing" my scalp and new growth is key to being able to comb through my new growth and to avoid breakage.
The thing is I make my own "grease" with shea butter, coconut oil, and some other stuff whipped together (No petro-chemicals to clog the scalp). It works like a charm

Yes, I use good old fashion grease on my scalp and hair. It makes my newgrowth very soft and manageable.

I stopped greasing my scalp many years ago and my dandruff and "dry" scalp disappeared overnight.

I had TERRIBLE dry and itchy scalp for years and regular touch ups were torture because my scalp would stay so dry 
. I used to put grease on my scalp and it never seems to work for me. My scalp would just soak it up and by dry again a day or two later.
Since I began taking better care of my hair, thanks to you ladies in LCHF, my dry scalp is gone
. I started taking GNC UltraMega Woman and UltraNourishair twice a day. I drink AT LEAST 8-10 glasses of water every day.
But, the thing that I think has really done the trick for me is 2TBSPs of flax seed oil every day. I started taking it to help lower my cholestrol but the other benefits are fantastic (Clearer skin and healthier scalp)

Nope! . . . not since 2 years ago when I discovered this site. I truly think it was clogging my hair follicles and keeping my hair from growing as well as I now see it can grow.
