Hi Ladies,
I was wondering... Back in the 90s I heard Oprah raving about how African-American hair grows best without the aid of oil or grease. I believe her stylist suggested that oils and grease clog the pores on your scalp, thus preventing (or at lease stifling) hair growth. . .
Have you personally found this to be true? With all of our "PJisms," I'm almost certain that more than 50% of us have WGO, MTG, Shapleys, EOs, and every other leave in conditioner in our cabinets. Can we truly grow our hair longer without oils and grease? I am from the South and heavy-handed. I never believed in that "dime-size" amount of product that they always swear by and if I don't "grease my scalp" I feel like something is missing from my regimen!!
My question is... have you grown your hair without the help of oils, grease, moisturizers, etc. Or with minimum product?? Do these products really clog our pores over time, or can this be alleviated by washing your hair more than once a week?
Since getting my hair cut (2.5"), I am tweaking my regimen and want to know the best way to utilize my oils, grease and moisturizer.
