Yessss! Good old TCB !I also remember Palmers coconut and African Pride

It smelled fruity and had like little herbal bits in it right? Or am I confusing that with something else?

We used everything, seriously, every single one on the market. I wish my mother knew about using water underneath the grease. We would have had the long hair she had wanted for us.

"That's the key!" The moisture under the grease! *slaps thighs* water + grease, now that's a beautiful marriage.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Sulphur 8.

This had little herby bits in it.

What WAS it about that Pink Lotion. I think EVERY body used that at some point!

When I got older I used Perm Repair. What a joke that was.

This had little herby bits in it.

I used this too at one stage, I didn't think it was too bad.

 

[King of Sorrow]

Plain vaseline.

Y'all were so fancy.

Man I used to run from the hair grease as a kid. I hated how weighed down and stiff it made my hair look and feel. My mom always wanted to put it on my hair after blow drying. I absolutely hated it. I don't remember which brand she used, I think it might have been Ultra Sheen or Minoval. I did like Vitapointe and I let her use that on my hair without a fuss. Now as an adult I love grease for protective styling, but I only use it on damp hair and then braid or twist it up. Maybe I should try Vitapointe again, I wonder if I would still like it...

My PJ-ism ways started when I was around 10 y.o. so I have used aaaalllll the products above at some time or another and still keep a few around.

Isoplus, white jar w/blue top, was good stuff especially for an itchy scalp. It was better than Sulphur 8, IMO.

 

[Bad&Bougee]

This was my best friend. I had dandruff something terrible! Little did I, or my mom know, this exacerbated my scalp issues!!

 

[Bad&Bougee]

This had little herby bits in it.

I'd forgotten about this one! I thought I was doing something with those little herb bits.

What I hated about grease, especially blue magic and TCB (not that others didn't but these two especially) is that they would catch and hold scents! My Grandmother was a frying machine. She would have me at school smelling like fried chicken, fish grease and blue magic - STANKING IN THE HEAD!!

Really? Wow then I can spray some perfume to my head and it will stick right?
I fry fish cakes at least twice a week and I don't smell like salmon yet, or at least I don't know about it lol.

 

[sissimpson]

I love fish cakes!!! Yum.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

I love fish cakes!!! Yum.

Me too!! i racked up in the store the other day, had to have my cans of Double "Q" Alaskan Salmon LOL. Had some fried fish cakes last night with collard greens and potato salad. Then I baked a lemon cake and washed my niece's hair.

I know I went way off the point.


ETA: I also put some BlueMagic in her hair.

 

[Miss617]

Sulfur 8. And of course Pink Lotion! My hair was very long and thick back then.

I think you're right. I know there was a grease I used that had "stuff" in it and I'm almost positive it was this one.

I forgot to add that I used the BB Super Gro later on as well.

We used Sulfur 8, B &B SuperGro, Royal Crown, TCB, blue Ultra Sheen, and Luster's Pink Oil Moisturizer. There were four girls in the house plus my mom. So we had a little bit of everything.

Ooh yes! Kemi Oyl had my relaxed hair shiny as all get out. Loved it!! I still use it from time to time when I have box braids.

 

[lesedi]

Does anyone remember virgin hair fertilizer? Had us smelling like insect repellent and menthol but apparently 'grew' hair so we dealt with it
