I have the same memories of sulfur as well. It doesn't stink to me either.rinygirl6 said:I love sulfur8 because the smell reminds me of when my grandmother used to watch me and all my cousins after school when I was a kid. It seemed like she was always doing her hair when we came from school....so young and carefree. Anyway it's amazing how a smell can bring back such strong memories.
I was wondering why I loved how sulfur8 smelled so much, everyone else I know thinks it stinks!

miracle said:I've gone back to using grease as well and it has definitely decreased my shedding. I stopped using it because of reports that it clogs the hair follicules and such, but that doesn't hold true for me. My mother greased my scalp for years and my hair was waist length. I'm so glad that I decided to go against the grain and use my grease again.
I'm currently using Hollywood Beauty's Castor Oil or Africa's Best Kids Organics Gro Stong. Neither contains mineral oil or petroleum, but have the perfect grease consistency.
In the bold: This stuff is good. I was happy that it had neither petroleum or mineral oil. But I do add some extra pure castor oil to it and mix it around. I recently added a few drops of Rosemary to it. This brand is good for hair that has just been washed too.

Re: hat has CEASED MY SHEDDING!!!
I have experienced good results w/ grease too. My hair has been shedding something terrible for the past few months. I thought back to my days as a child when my hair was always soft, long and healthy. The only product that I could associate w/ my hair at that time is that big glass bottle of DAX so that must have been what I used for the ten years of the healthiest hair I ever had! So I ran and bought a big plastic container and my ends are doing well now!

I have a big problem with shedding and I have a dry scalp. I agree that using light grease helps reduce shedding in addition to your moisturizing regimen.
I was told if you shed more than 150 strands a day there's problem. Well, I used to shed that every time I combed my hair. I use Dudleys scalp treatment (which kinda smells) and Keracare grease for itchy scalps. It works and I am no longer afraid to comb my hair.

How do you guys know that petrolatum or mineral oil is not in this "secret" oil complex? And isn't Paraffin Oil another version of mineral oil? I don't anything is wrong with petro or mineral oil in moderation but I was just wondering...

I bought a jar and I'm in love.
This stuff is great for sealing. The oils aren't a "secret," the Beauty oil complex refers to the oils in the product. The fact that the product contain paraffin oil is no biggie to me, as I use this product on my ends only.

msshic said:Interesting, I remember growing up & my mom oiling my scalp. I never remember shedding. Now I'm thinking maybe my hair sheds more when it's cooler out & my scalp is tight & dry.
Thanks for starting this thread. I'll be putting this theory to test soon.
You may be on to something. I get serious shedding every winter.

I'm sorry to bump such an old thread but I just picked up some of this at the BSS and I LURVE it! I just use a tiny bit after my moisturizer and my hair is ever so soft and my ends are so much better. I just keep running my hands over my hair because it feels great, and I have seen a severe reduction of shedding and breakage. I have ALWAYS had a lot of hair come out in the comb or even in my hands as I add product to it... its amazing I haven't gone bald by now... but my new regimen is doin' thangs!
I think I've found a great (affordable) combo for maintaining moisture and keeping my ends looking good. I use Profectiv healthy ends and break free and spread that around pretty liberally... then I add the Castor Oil goodness, and/or BT, wrap it up and sleep well. In the morning my hair is like SILK.
LOVE IT!
I may have to try this.

I recently read about vaseline being a good facial moisturizer, and that it can prevent wrinkles so I started using it. Looking back my Mom used to put this on our faces all the time. I think that it seals moisture, and blocks outside dirt from getting to your face. Maybe the secret behind 'black don't crack' ?

I started using oils on my scalp for pre-poos last year & just started "greasing" my scalp about 3 weeks ago. I had an ezcema patch in the very back (Is that the kitchen?) & used my cortizone ointment on it that has petroleum. It cleared it right up. With that in mind, I knew I wanted something for my scalp during the summer, but didn't want oils running down my neck & face
so I went to the BSS & bought Allways Natural Isogrow. It is very light & doesn't weigh my hair down. I actually think petroleum works better than cones on the hair...jmho.

StephyPoo said:I had been shedding ALOT for the past few months, there had been some talk on the boards about using GREASE and grease monkeys unite LOL...so I decided to grease my scalp and hair after shampooing and conditioning then 2 days later I shampooed/conditioned again my shedding was so MINIMAL I could not believe it I was so used to seeing atleast 20 strands or more coming out but now it's only like 5 and my hair feels soooo moisturized when I wash, MY SCALP and HAIR WILL BE GREASED FROM NOW ON!!! hmmmm I wonder if dry scalp makes the hair shed more??
My hair has been shedding a lot lately as well. Last night before wrapping my hair, I lightly greased my scalp with TCB Naturals (it was the only thing my local grocery store carried). I took down my wrap this morning and ran my fingers though my hair and I was totally surprised......3 hairs came out! I am very pleased.
After last nights cornrow removal scare (lots of hair came out, but everything is ok) I'm glad that I found a remedy to my shedding. I'm so glad I read this thread as well. StephyPoo thanks for starting this thread!
I remember when I use to use grease on my scalp my hair felt greasy, weighed down, and I had dandruff. I may have been using too much. Now that I have stopped using grease my dandruff has cleared nad my scalp doesnt feel dirty as quick. i guess this thread just proves that everyone has to do what works for their own hair.

I think I am going back to grease as well. I grew my hair to midback length effortlessly in highschool. And all I did was wash it once a week, put grease and water on it, and twist it, or put it in a ponytail. And it was a lot thicker then too.

What Doo Gro is everyone referring to?
I stopped using grease a long time ago....before I found the boards. Now ya'll got me thinking. But now im wondering if my dandruff problem had to do with the grease. I don't have dandruff anymore.

This grew my hair SOOOOOO fast a few years back (pre-LHCF), until I joined the board and learned grease was the debil.
But I can definitely offer a testimony about African pride herbal grease.....

Grease does stop shedding because my hair use to shed bad until i started greasing my scalp(only when needed) and it also help alot against humidity when you're streching your relaxer. My hair use to swell up after a humid day at work until i started using grease on my scalp and now i always use it after i flat iron my hair and it helps to keep my roots straight. this is my combo- Blue magic coconut oil hair grease, MTG, Castor oil. mix together until its thin and creamy.This just goes to show that everyone's hair is different. When I stopped using grease my hair stopped shedding. I found that I was in this vicious cycle of removing moisture from my hair, then trying to replace it with coating condiditoners and grease. The grease was just masking the lack of moisture condition and making my hair worse. It was also keeping moisture from getting to my hair. When I stopped using the harsh shampoos I no longer needed the grease to mask the lack of moisture problem.
