3 Alternative Uses for Hair Grease

Happy Monday, my blessed naturals, Since I' went natural, I do not use hair grease hardly ever on my hair. If you're like me, you may have jars of it left over from relaxing your hair in the past. What do you do with them? Well, I've come up with 3 alternative uses for hair grease. These uses are mainly for the petrolatum or petroleum-based and beeswax hair greases. Please note: Before using any products on your skin, I would suggest researching the ingredients to ensure that they are safe to use on your body. 1.

1BlessedNatural Experience: My Verdict On Using a Petrolatum Product

I applied the KeraCare Conditioning Hair Dress and then applied the product by Softee. My hair stayed moisturized and soft throughout the week. The only issue that I had was that my hair was very greasy the next morning because I used too much of the product. By the end of the first day, my hair was fine. As a result of my little experiment, petrolatum products are better sealants than Shea Butter for me. However, I still love to use Shea Butter. So, I will probably alternate between the two depending on the weather.
