HAIR GREASE AND OIL SHEEN BLACK HAIR CARE PRODUCTS

  1. I was just looking at your website and reading your hair tips. You said that you do not recommend using hair grease on the scalp? What do you recommend for the hair/scalp?
  2. I usually oil my hair when it is wet to keep down the dandruff. Will the dew still work if there is oil on the hair?
  3. I feel that though our scalps and skin produce sebum, this may not be sufficient (why else do we need to moisturise our skin with vaseline, coca butter etc, it does feel pretty dry without it!). So isn't the scalp especially in need of oil after washes and retouches?? For various reason eg. environmental conditions, genetics, diet etc. some people tend to have NATURALLY oily/dry skin, yes?
  4. I have read so much about how petroleum products and mineral oil are bad for the hair and actually make it dry and moisture repellent. i really feel if these products are put in moisturised hair (eg. just after a wash and deep conditioned, leave in conditioned, 'water'-moisturised state) the water is more likely to RETAINED in the hair shaft and keep it moist for longer (perhaps till next wash 3/4 days later). i have experienced this with my own hair lately. Am i doing long-term damage with the petroleum and mineral oil, do you think?
  5. I'm a teenage boy and I tried to grow out my hair but it stay the same length for the longest and it wont grow I don't know if u can help but if u can e mail me what type of grease to use or what should I do?
  6. I would like to know what you recommend to use as a oil sheen?
  7. If products like petrolatum and mineral oil are lubricants instead of moisturizers, are other oils (such as olive, canola, wheat germ, sweet almond, safflower, castor, sesame, jojoba, emu, peppermint, evening of primrose, coconut ) lubricants as well? And if so, are they bad for black hair since lubricants do not penetrate the hair?
  8. I've noticed that my hair looks shiny with the use of petroleum based products, but they leave my hair greasy, and I don't like that.
  9. Do hot oil treatments provide any benefits?
  10. When i needed the extra oil because here in new york the weather is so cold, i opted for one and my hair looked amazing afterward. however, i read in the book "andre talks hair." that hot oils cannot moisturize b/c oil and water dont' mix. What's up with that?
  11. What is the purpose of having a hot oil treatment?
  12. When my hair needs that extra oil in the cold winters of NY, what should I do?
  13. Do you do separate hot oil treatments?
  14. If the package label of a hot oil says it moisturizes, is that another gimmick?
