To Grease or not to Grease that is the Question.

All of my life I have greased my scalp, and recently I have read that you should not grease your scalp. So what do you all do if your scalp is dry?

Grease works for some, but not all just like with any other hair product.
I use it every now and then, but I mostly use oils like coconut oil and castor oil.

same here... i am not a grease person(except when applying relaxers!), I prefer oils and I use UBH dew, EVOO, and sweet almond constantly.

I use oils as well, grease tends to be too heavy for my hair. I do like Dudley's pressing cream though, but I use it in very small amounts.

I use grease. I'll actually be greasing my scalp when I get home in a few minutes because it's been about 5 days and my scalp is dry.

I use to think that I needed to put grease on my scalp or else it would be dry but then I stopped doing it and my scalp did not get dry. Your scalp produces natural oils and for some (me) that is enough. I do use grease though on my ends and on my hair after I wash. My advice would be that if greasing your scalp works for you then grease it.

I never grease or put anything else on my scalp. I've never seen the need for it. Washing my hair at least twice a week keeps my scalp hydrated so it is not dry, and it produces it's own oils, so adding grease really isn't necessary.

I grease only when my scalp feels dry and itchy and even then I *spot grease*, dabbing exactly where it feels that way. I use a shea butter pomade on my hair when I take it down in the morning.

Greasing your scalp isn't a problem if you wash frequently.

Greasing your scalp isn't a problem if you wash frequently.

I agree. If your scalp is dry it means you need more moisture, not grease. But if you don't feel like doing a complete wash cycle, maybe a water based moisturizer may help.

If you like to grease your scalp, I would suggest using Natures Blessing Pomade. It has the consistency of grease and it has really good ingredients. I thinks the jar says it can even be used on chapped lips( I'll have to double check on that).

I use a lite grease like Keracare glossifer.

I still use grease. I use the lighter greases like Pro-Line Coconut Grease or Hawaian Silky "Sure Gro." I've done research on my hair and noticed that I get the same growth if I'm using oils or greasing my scalp.
