I'm so excited reading this thread... I re-read everything all over again and caught up on a few of the newer posts. I bought me some Blue Magic Coconut Hair grease this past weekend, a gigantic tub of it for only $2.99! I DO also remember using the little blue and green ultra sheen containers of grease back in the day too... I am going back to what had my hair long and thick as a pre-teen... grease! My mom never did any of this oil, LOC method or LCO method. I got my hair SHAMPOO'd and they put in conditioner and rinsed it out... then I'd get my hair styled. She'd grease my SCALP every week and maybe (MAYBE) twice a week. She brushed my hair with a regular brush and my hair was shiny and full of body. Even when it wasn't pressed...
I'm going back.. All these lil mini drawers of product I have... I wasn't product junky material until I joined this forum in the first place, and even then - I was greasing my scalp (although relaxed) with tcb hair grease and occasionally ultra sheen.
Thanks for this amazing thread, op! I'm sooooo going back to what I grew up on.... I don't know WHY I thought I had to change what my hair was already used to just because I joined this forum....
