Girl, my favorite was everything Dudley at one time because I used to get my products for free because I use to be a hair model for his company back in the day, and I would get everything done, from relaxers, to cuts to color. He used to say he loved my hair because it was easy to work with. And now thinking about it, he used to tell me that I didn't need a relaxer, that if I would let my natural hair grow, it would be beautiful....guess that was a seed planted many years ago.

Did you know that Mr. Dudley was the apprentice for Mr. Fuller who died and left him the company? I knew Mr. Fuller, but he wasn't working too much with the company then, Mr. Dudley was. Mr. Dudley also had nice, pretty medium light brown eyes...I used to love his eyes....:yep:

My favorite product was the Hair Rebuilder...I used that stuff up all the time:yep:

Oh man, how could I forget Pump It Up? I STILL remember the smell of that stuff! I would spray the mess outta my hair when I wore phony ponies. Had to keep my short little measly hair from coming out of the ponytail! :lol: After I saturated my hair with Pump It Up, I would run the back of my curling iron (on the highest setting) over my hair, to smooth it out and make my hair stay. Gotta seal with heat, ya know! That heat'll make it stay! :rofl:

I used that African Pride grease, too. Thought I was really doin something, rubbin those herbs and spices in my scalp (and through the length of my hair :look: )

:lachen: :lachen: Girl! I would DRENCH my hair in Pink Lotion and then use my flatiron on 759 degrees :lachen:

Boy did I love that sizzle! I used to be like "Ohhhhh yeah, baby! Sizzle away!" Sizzle=super straight (and burnt, and greasy and stiff) :lachen:

The smell of pump it up is burned into my memory :lol: Its like liquid plastic and you are right, a little heat to seal it in was all you needed:lachen:

I used to kill that herby grease. I had herbs falling out of my head all of the time...grease melting all up in my scalp, just dripping...forehead greasy:lachen::lachen:

Wow you guys have such vivid memories. I dont remember much about my hair care during elementary school other than the fact that my grandmother made me get my hair cut to get a Jheri Curl when I was about 8 or 9 years old. She said my hair "needed" it. Now mind you I am 27 years old so this 1988 or 1989. The Jheri Curl bandwagon had come and gone at that point. It was way out of style by then. I was so embarassed:nono:. Had it for about a year then it was relaxers after that.

I started taking care of my own hair when I was about 11 or 12 which consisted of using water and grease to achieve ponytails of various heights ( the closer to the top of the head, the better), tight behind french braids and ear to ear bangs :lachen:.

I discovered Allways Natures Super Grow grease around this time. This was when it used to come in a white bottle with a turquoise top. It said on the directions that daily use of the entire jar would cause considerable hair growth and i made sure I used it every single day:lachen: and my hair grew like a weed . I just picke up another jar last week. I think this was the only product they made at the time

I do remember so much. Hair was an important part of my life ever since I realized how it makes a difference in your looks. After all the things I did to my hair, you would think that I wouldn't have any hair right about now...LOL.

Ooohhhh, I loved my french braids and my bangs were the bomb! I mean, my bangs were smooth and even and rounded out on the ends just right.
