Some women believe that going natural is expensive. I can attest to the fact that it can get expensive if you use high end products and if I am to be honest many of the high end products do not work on our hair; they are just jars full of crap.
I can instantly name about 4-6 expensive brands that actually do miracles on natural and relaxed hair but they just might not be in our budget.
With that said there are some women who have learned to rely on what we can consider ‘controversial’ products to take care of their hair. We say they are controversial because they have less than perfect ingredients, they probably would not be personally recommended and they never come up on the ‘products to buy lists’.
1. Sulfur* 8 (or Sulfur* Lite)
You’ve heard of this I am sure. Yes…remember that medicated grease in the yellow container? We usually slap this on the scalp to rid the scalp of dandruff.
It works, no lie, but it stinks…right? Wrong. Not anymore. They have modified their products now and it is quite impressive actually. They have transformed their product into clean, fresh smelling sprays which gives the same healing effect the grease would give.
2. Suave Professionals Naturals Conditioner
This cheap brand is actually pretty good. It has a thick consistency and personally I don’t mind this conditioner at all. It makes the hair really soft. The Suave Professionals Naturals Almond/Shea Butter* conditioner is the truth and ranges from one to two dollars.
3. Africa’s Best
The Africa’s Best moisturizing lotion provides the hair with just the right amount of moisture. Now, the downside of this product is it has parabens, but if you’re not one to worry so much about ingredienst then you might be able to give this one a pass.
4. Blue Magic Coconut Oil*
You remember this brand as a child? It has been around for centuries. If you check a natural’s product cabinet right now you might find a jar.
Many of us are closet grease users but you aint heard that from me! *wink*
Maybell Lena Killion says
Great on a twist out as a sealant…just sayin! Lol And this is from an all natural product user.
Sophronia Sang says

BlueCornMoon says
I went back to grease in winter 2013. Breakage & nape & temple problems. Blue magic & Pink Oil as well as Carol’s Daughter & Qhemet Biologics. then KinkyCurly wash n goes in summer. Now, after a January trim, I’m full time Old School & my nape & temples filled in. I use WEN Fig or Shea Moisture shampoos, MegaTek as deep conditioner every week, PinkOil lite mixed with JBCO or original Pink Oil & seal with BlueMagic bergamot or Super Sure Gro. Sometimes I spray with S Curl as either leave in or daily moisturizer. Sometimes all i need is just water. Hair is thriving like mad; nape has grown 2 more inches, MegaTek has stopped most breakage & the PinkOil & BlueMagic keep moisture in.I’m going on a 2 week vacation this summer & all I’m taking is shampoo, PinkOil, & BlueMagic. May take Megatek & S Curl for insurance in case weather is hot & dry. I used to use PinkOIl ,Afro Sheen & LeKair in the 70s on my afro. Also used Alberto VO5 blue for gray,white, & silver blonde hair. Found out it gave jet black hair a wicked shine !

Dayna Johnson says
Blue magic is in my bathroom closet now!
Carolyn Elaine Estes says
I’m a manager at Top Beauty Supply in NC and yes….our shelves are stocked with these much requested items…we sell out at times…old school items work…that’s why they are still around.
BlueCornMoon says
The Targets around here started carrying Royal Crown,Murray’s, Blue Magic,S Curl, & both versions of Pink Oil starting last summer. And they vanish off the shelves,too ! Old School is TRIED & TRUE & it WORKS !! Been around for 40 years or so. The Asian BSS carry them by the TON

Yvonne Campbell Bouldin says

I can smell it just looking at it
Suemaria Hemelrijk says
Just disgusting
Sharifa Elizabeth-Pollard says
Lol
Ronnella Powell says
The only thing I would turn to would be the Africa’s best lotion. I used it before and was fine. Moisturizing and didn’t have cones. But I was shocked that it had parabens but I had finished the bottle already but it was great cheap moisturizer. It was better than some moisturizers I have paid more money for
Cookie Anderson says
Love it, love the smell. Of blue magic
Lida Wallace says
And Dixie Peach remember???
BlueCornMoon says
My mom used Dixie peach on my hair ! Loved that smell !
BlueCornMoon says
I just found Dixie Peach & got some. Seems different; not so strong a smell, & a bit heavier than I remember. Found it here http://myhouseofbeauty.com/ . It was discontinued by the company several years ago but there’s some still left floating around. White guys like Elvis & Johnny Cash used to use it on their pompadours in the 50s & 60s. I use it on my ends sometimes. Only got 2 jars ; don’t want to use them up since they’re rare.
Alegra FormallyknownasHolloway Ellis says
Sound like my mama back in the day lol i was so glad when i was over doing my own hair lol
Carmen Martinez says
I’m glad I’m educated about what I put on my hair as well as in my body…these days! I remember using blue magic and dax, ultra sheen, royal crown, I grew up using these products as a child…….but,now I understand that petroleum comes from crude oil!
BlueCornMoon says
Yes but petroleum & mineral oil are the main ingredients in BABY OIL !! They are purified & refined to cosmetic grade & are perfectly safe. for our hair. All this anti grease mania was just a ploy to get us to use the new EXPENSIVE products. I love the new conditioners, hair steamers, & the addition of shea butter & other new oils…and the BLACK OWNED companies,but when it comes to sealing in moisture you can’t beat Blue Magic,Dax, & other greases our moms used
Carmen Martinez says
I have a question and I want everybody to think about what I’m about to ask!!!??? Why are these products specifically marketed to black females only? Have you read the ingredients? Can you read and understand the ingredients that are listed? Do you know that these products contain cancer causing chemicals?
BlueCornMoon says
They aren’t just aimed at blacks ! During the 50s,Whites also used petroleum & mineral oil products to slick down their hair for pompadours & slicked down hairstyles. Royal Crown & Murrays. I used to use Alberto VO5 blue hair dressing ( gave me awesome shine on my jet black hair!) & Vitapointe back in the day on my afros because I have fine soft hair & they were lighter than many of the greases aimed at blacks. I have heard that Elvis Presley & Johnny Cash both used Royal Crown.
Jennifer Barlow-Boatner says
Whoop whoop! Now we know that back in the day when mama used this we had hair like Rudy Huxtable! Lol… We act like now that we can read the labels that we’re above certain “ingredients.” Bunch of damaged heads needing to go back to the old school tried and true maybe?…
BlueCornMoon says
YUP !
BlueCornMoon says
My mom used Sulfur 8, Dixie Peach, & Apex pressing oil. Blue Magic wasn’t out yet. I had very healthy hair. I’ve gone back to grease in winter since 2013 when it was so harsh & Qhemet & Carol’s Daughter couldn’t handle it. I used Blue Magic to seal over th
ose butters & creams
Christy Love says
U can’t go wrong with Blue Magic!
Vedejah Scroggins says
lol it’s not expensive to go natural all you gotta do is exactly like your momma and grandmother did when you were little and they were little wash your hair comb it out and grease it and braid it up and leave it alone and it will grow like weeds mine has all I do is pin the braids in a pretty updo and that’s it on the regular basis of course put rollers in when I wanna have curls and wear it down it’s not expensive at all lol like she said can’t go wrong with blue magic but I like the coconut kind because it smells good ☺
Vedejah Scroggins says
Well if you’ve been straightening and perming your entire life basically you do go natural because it’s unnatural for you to be natural
Dre Houston says
Vedejah your already natural your just giving your hair a chance to become in it natural state
Vedejah Scroggins says
I understand that but if your entire life you have been perming and straightening you are not natural because it is foreign to you your body is not used to not having the alteration attached so that is your natural with a perm or whatever either way it doesn’t matter either way
Jamila Johnson says
Damn let her shine…this is her post, smh. I understand what you are saying Vedejah
Vedejah Scroggins says
Lol ???????????????????????????????????????? just take care of your hair is the point
Christina Danielle Pettybih says
Everyone can’t do grease in their hair
Vedejah Scroggins says
Doesn’t matter whatever you use to seal in moisture hair doesn’t like to be handled much meaning it doesn’t like being brushed often combed manipulated all the can cause splitting and breakage
Tiffany Marie Banks says
For real they were doing something right.
Anesha Rhett Berry says
Vedejah, I use the coconut blue magic, too! After trying all kinds of products, I, like you, had to go back to my roots. ???? I use it on my daughters’ hair, too. Love it!
Phytina Gonzalez says
I love blue magic
Princess Elvis-Lewis says
I love blue magic coconut oil, I use it every day!!
Valerie Vallion says
I also use Royal Crown.
Danielle Hamilton says
Oh gosh no thts no good. The ingredients
Valerie Vallion says
My hair does better with this product. I was raised on Royal Crown, Sulfur 8, Ultra Sheen and believe it or not people also used Vaseline.
Remember, the responses are from many generations and different type of hair textures. What may work for you doesn’t necessarily work for me. It’s about yourself and not a name brand and price.
Josie Graves says
Love it
Anderson Nicole says
Haven’t used grease in YEARS
Toyvisha Brooks says
I did the same thing but I wanted to experiment and see if it would help in the winter months to hold moisture and I can say I am pleased with the results
Justina Mitchell says
My either. I whip shea butter with natural oils and I love it.
Tish Forde says
Carline Blue Magic!!!
Carline Paris says
Yes I remembered
Karen Love says
Read the article and I’m still trying to figure out what makes these products controversial?!
Laura Marie says
The ingredients. Some have parabens and other stuff that’s supposed to be bad for your hair
Toyvisha Brooks says
Most naturals ban petroleum on their hair because it is not natural and it is heavy on the scalp
Laura Marie says
Gotta jar of ultra sheen on my dresser right now!
Racksand Louise Lane says
Love this stuff I keeps some in my hair bucket best thing to use when flat ironing hair.
Ludmira Gomes says
I don’t think that’s a good idea…but to each his own.
Gussie Robinson says
You got your hair pressed with a crease back in the day
Gussie Robinson says

Lorrie Samuels says
Ultra Sheen Even though I’ve been using three trees lately
Karen Miller says
Kourtney Mckinney-got both in the cabinet and use them faithfully 🙂
Kelly White says
No and no again, this stuff is garbage. It’s full of chemicals…. blue dye…. and people are putting this on their scalps… being absorbed into your blood
Rachel Hodges says
I heard grease isn’t good to use because it clogs up the pores…. My daughter has natural hair but I’m having a hard time keeping her hair mostirized and her end from getting split. Should I revert back to grease?
Jessica Leggett says
Blue magic is the truth, but I use Ultra Sheen too.
Danielle Hamilton says
Use pure shea butter hair will grow like wild fire and stay moisturised.
Im full black and my hair is mid back using it
With grease never grew that much
Maranda Younger says
Blue magic is the best
Amanda Blakey says
No, Shea Moisture has a kids line you can use. Walmart, Target and Walgreens sale it. Its really good, I also like As I Am, you can find this line at those stores as well. I’ve been natural for 8 years! Say no to creamy crack! Lol
Symone Nioka Douglas says
Yes and try not to shampoo to often it drys the hair out, you can use conditioner instead to wash the hair. It cleans the hair just the same and keeps the moisture the hair needs…
ShiShi Maze says
I just use olive oil, grease attracted dirt and weighed hair dowm, oil is not as thick and I’ve noticed I don’t have to use it often and zero dandruff now.
Sabbath Bennett says
Try Jamaican black castor oil or products with it in there. Shea moisture has a great line and a little goes a long way. Extra virgin coconut oil or products with it in there are great for low porosity hair too which it sounds like your daughter has. Their coconut and hibiscus styling milk is awesome and smells great. I get it for my sons and they love it! Water is the only way to moisturize hair so use products that list water as the first ingredient. Grease suffocates the hair and the follicle because of the waxes (parabens) and mineral oil in it which causes split ends and breakage and will not help her to retain length. Try cowashing every other week and never comb her hair while it’s dry. I wish you luck.
Sabbath Bennett says
Who uses grease in 2017?! That stuff is made to kill your hair and make people that don’t even have our hair type rich! I didn’t even use grease in ’97 let alone 2017
Angela Williams says
My mom does and she uses it on her feet and sometimes skin ????????
La'Toya O'Gilvie says
Blue Magic is still a life saver.
Ann Ross-Burke says
You have to wash grease out with a shampoo not a conditioner. Conditioner will not fully remove grease frok your hair because it’s a thick product. I would wash it out weekly then deep condition. If her ends are split cut them
Andrea Stuckey says
My mom and me been using it for years and still do.
Kaye Curle says
Blue Magic…”THE BOMB” can’t beat it????
Shawana Cleveland says
Oils do not moisturize. Oils are used as a sealant. Skip shampoo if you don’t have product build-up and just “wash” with a conditioner. Also deep condition (30 mins no heat/ 15 mins with heat) hair & cover with a plastic cap…even an old grocery bag works! Before styling apply leave-in conditioner, hair moisturizer (shea butter, almond butter, etc.), and seal all of that with the oil (jojoba, coconut, papaya, castor, etc.) and style. Loss of protein in the hair, among other things, may cause split ends. Apply a protein treatment (Aphogee – choose from a few different ones). Always detangle hair from the ends up. Limit use of heat tools and be gentle when styling so as not to cause additional breakage. Always cover hair with a satin/silk bonnet/scarf or sleep on a satin pillow. I hope this info helps!
Dre Houston says
everybody hair different but coming from person who transitoned to natural and been natural for quite some time now yes theres all kind of oils out there and yes i suggest stay away from grease….she most likely has high porosity ….my hair eats up alot moisture and use breaks off what i do is do deep condition and i purchased a moisturizer that works good for my hair and moisturize it daily even when braided up and i also apply high cholesterol olive oil to my hair
Dre Houston says
and also her hair is most likely dry and brittle due to lack of nutrients to her roots pay attention to what you putting in her hair that could be what causing it break off and switch to something suitable ..read back of labels before you purcahhse
Angie Mcmillan says
Blue magic coconut hair conditioner, love it!
Tameka L Castleberry says
Been using the Black Magic Coconut, and I really enjoy it and the scent
Shenea Poole says
Sister Shontal Poole and Jeanie Smiley I remember you both loved this stuff! Do you still use it?
Jeanie Smiley says
Ummmm no. I can smell this now. Damn Vaseline with coloring. And I feel like you slicked your hair down a few good times lol
Teekee Mack says
blur magic + crisco + chitlins
Ebony Rusley Brooks says
I have 3 of these in my cabinet right now.
Shannon Cosey says
Just did my twist with blue magic
Shatera Taylor says
Hi….My name is Shatera and I still use “Blue Magic” and “Queen Helene”. My scalp said “It’s magically delicious”. My hair is flawlessdotcom and may I add…healthy
Shatera Taylor says
Blue Magic that’s a brand name; Like Pepsi, that’s a brand name. I stand behind it, I guarantee it. They know that even if they don’t know me any more than they know the chairman of General Mills…..my man….my favorite grease ✊
Pamela Wilder says
I still use it 🙂
Tina Waters says
Petroleum, mineral oil, synthetic oils clog pores and leaves residue.
Brenda Davis says
I love ultra sheen,blue magic is too heavy for my fine hair.
Victoria Tillman says
I’ve avoided grease for years and spent so much money trying to find the right products for my hair. My hair drys out and splits easily. I’ve tried the whole porosity thing, natural products, not so natural products, protective styling, everything. I have a son now and I don’t have time to go through 80 steps on wash day. So I cut back on the number of products I used becasue the one thing that has save my hair after all these years is hair grease. After I apply my products I use a small amount on my ends to seal everything in and I never have to re moisturize until wash day. And I have noticed a change in breakage after only a few days. I use Blue Magic coconut oil and after I run out I’m going to make my own hair grease.
Carlette Cleo Goodwyn says
Black dax is the best to me
Natalie Ferguson says
this brings me right back, and the funny thing is when mama used it my hair grew. I think i still have this a part of my hair products as back up.
Diane Cole says
It’s not a backup for me. Everything else is a catch up. Lol
#ifitaintbrokedontfixit
Mary Standafer says
Never use grease anymore, or pink hair oil. Shea moisture curl cream, water, black castor oil.
Danielle Hamilton says
Never
Danielle Hamilton says
No way use shea butter
Esha Bug says
I still buy Blue magic my mom used it on our hair as kids and it still does the job
Verniece Mingo says
I cant use this makes my hair stick together
Tamandra Cooper says
Yes yes yes especially the African pride
Christina Danielle Pettybih says
You should be doing the LOC method
Leave in conditioner
Oil
Cream
Oil doesn’t moisturize. It locks in whatever is there. So if it’s dry it’s gonna lock it in.
Also no shampoos with sulfates
Angela Williams says
My mom still uses blue magic. She uses it on her hair and feet
Toi Anthony-Anglin says
So do I!!!!..my kids shine bright like a diamond????????????
Angela Williams says
Invest in a good conditioner (Deva curl or Quaid) also use a leave it conditioner, use a thick styling cream like real shea butter for her ends. H2O = moisture spray very lightly every other night .
Nia Gladden says
Dont forget the bergamot hair grease!
Lisa Cox says
People use this ??
Jaime Johnson says
Curly Kit
Sharayla G. Jones says
Blue Magic Coconut!
Janet Stobbs says
I wonder if any ladys on here can help me ,I’m mixed race so my hair is fizzie and couse i don’t know what to use for my hair ?
Sarah Alexandra says
It’s really difficult to advice without actually touching your hair. My advice though to look into Cantu products. They do stuff for mixed hair textures. Also a water based leave in conditioner and natural liquid oils are fantastic for all hair types.
Janet Stobbs says
I wonder if any ladys on here can help me ,I’m mixed race so my hair is fizzie and couse i don’t know what to use for my hair ?
Patricia Smith says
I steal use the blue magic today love it.
Margaret Ukwu says
Still use Blue Magic despite all the oils & puddings etc. And I like it
Antoinette Wilson says
AMEN
Belinda Ballenger says
blue magic …moms like ultra sheen
Sarah Alexandra says
Petroleum oil is the destruction of our hair.
Sarah Alexandra says
No! Think of it this way. When you’re thirsty do you drink oil?
Water based leave in conditioner, and seal with a natural oil.
Keisha Henderson-Scruggs says
Trina Lynn,stay away from this stuff..lol
Myia Hitchcock Johnson says
Hey, sometimes you gotta go with what you know! LOL
Wanda Johnson says
It gave me dandruff real bad back then now I only use oils
Vedejah Scroggins says
I try oils but they don’t last so I have to use them daily they don’t cost much but still lol id like it to last longer than a day
Ashley Taylor says
Hey, most of our parents used this on us as children and we had hair down out backs, it was good then, still good now.
Karen Gayles says
Right…all this new stuff is just a way for some company to make money , like we were all walking around with dry TWAs . The sad thing is how many fell for it
Channi Chantz says
lol yes I remember my eldest son when he was about 2 smothering it all over his face and on my silk bed sheets lol
Aneitha ML Knight says
I still have a jar of blue magic here in my house. Lol!!
Champayne Rose says
I brought the ultra sheen yesterday
LaCole Perry-Dennis says
Because they work.
Tiff Sheri says
Why are they controversial? Different strokes for different folks
Kim Jay says
I just bought a jar of the white blue magic last week. I used it on my daughter’s hair when she was young and her hair was long healthy and gorgeous. So we’ve decided to try it again, since she is natural and has a lot of breakage in the back.
Vedejah Scroggins says
What I did for the breakage in the back is that hair is always on twists so even if I pull it up into a pony tail the twists show and people say on “that’s cute why’d you do it like that?” “Just something different” lol for my hair when it’s twisted and put away the breakage stops for some reason and it gives it a change to grow out it’s all grown out now so I don’t wear them anymore I think it had broken off because was I wearing it pulled up often and I’d sleep with it pulled up too to keep the style and it just stressed it and it broke off it really grew out my nape hair too that is all the same length now too
Steph Edwards says
Sometimes i feel i have to fall back of that product for true. I dont think anything else has left my hair as soft amd manageable. When i think of it, pertroleum wud b the ultimate sealant because of its structure so moisture inside the hair isnt going anywhere, hence the softness just have to wash your regularly to remove the petroleum and put the moisture back in.
Daisy Iknoibeenchangd Anderson says
I just creased my Clients scalp with some
Deadra Mikale says
Blue is the absolutely best the name speaks for itself!
Danelle Walker says
I hate this new organic stuff, my hair hates it. I apply this while my hair is wet, oil my scalp, and I don’t have to moisturize til my next wash day.
Denise Fernandez says
I stopped using Blue Magic back in the day when hot combs fell off. That grease used to pop and sizzle like bacon on my scalp. Never again! Lol
Toyatoy Sanders says
Still use faithfully and 4c hair is long and strong
Karen Michele Handy says
My mom used Ultra Sheen on my hair and I keep a jar on standby, I don’t need it when I relax my hair but uses it for my boys, oh and that Sta-Sof-Fro
Kaneisha Pitts says
Girl I’m bringing some grease over today lmao
Marie Rhodes says
I’ve had a jar for like 2 yrs on a shelf. Not sure why I bought it in the 1st place..
Lena Gordon says
Got off blue magic back in the day because of the “Don’t grease your scalp” trend… can you say hair breakage…im back on it now and hair is thick, strong and moisturized… #bluemagicgirlforlife
Mel Castillo says
I use it and I use it on my daughter. It seems to be the only thing that keeps my daughter’s hair soft and moisturized.
Kaye Curle says
Still use Blue magic and always will.. Can you say healthy hair????
Shirley Jones says
I use to waste a fortune on hair products. That they said great the hair. I would hate the smell. And they never worked for me . Now in in my 50s lol . And they still don’t work.
Vedejah Scroggins says
I ain’t paying for expensive products anymore lol how is my grandmother her mother my momma my aunts all of them had long beautiful hair without spending 80 dollars seems like every month on products you don’t need it go back to the basics hair likes to be left alone wash comb it “grease” and put it up lol that’s all my meme ever did and had the prettiest hair
Vedejah Scroggins says
I guess so all these reviews online for high priced products they didn’t even pay for it was given to them to me it’s just nonsense you don’t need it since the beginning of time black women’s hair has always grown long and beautiful it didn’t just start with these high priced products
Vane New says

I only use blue magic products in my daughter’s hair. She has eczema in her scalp and any other product would make her scratch herself bald. Since I have stuck to this brand her hair is longer healthier and stronger. I use the olive oil conditioner and the grease. Inexpensive and gets the job done
