....Have you ever used "Wave Grease" or male products to keep your hair down?
I'm about to buy some wave grease for my hair...

my hair laughed at wave grease when i tried it back in high school, but that was pre lhcf. Love my fantasia IC to slick it down.

You mean like Murray's or Sportin' Waves? If so, yes I was always dippin' in my Daddy's Murray's when I was younger for my edges. That with a little water, a boar bristle brush, and a scarf and I was good to go! In college, I always was in my then BF/now DH's Sportin' Waves...once again to hook up the edges. But now, my edges seem a little weaker and they can't take all that goo anymore. A little shea butter does just as well, without the buildup (Beware...that stuff is not easy to wash out!)

So Fantasia IC?

And Shea Butter?

Yeah, shea butter works for me with some gel. Take a scarf to tie hair down for a few minutes and voila!

Those wave pomades have petroleum and or beeswax in them which is a beast to wash out.

Although... sporting waves and gel use to work really well for me back in the day.

THanks ladies!

I am almost too through.

My hair has been "pulled back" daily for over 1.5 years now.
I've 8 months since a textirizer, and I work out daily.

I'm using BT/MTG and taking Biotin and MSM...
I need a haircut...
And I am afraid there's nothing else I can do or use short of a perm to keep these edges and curls down.

Your help is truly appreciated!
