African American Hair Question: Grease?

I hate grease, mositurizer and oil. The reason???!!? It always makes my hair look "piecey" and gets rid of the volume. And my hair is super thin so it does nothing for me but way it down. I know I need it because I don't want it to become dry and damaged. Does anyone know of a product/brand that does not do that to your hair? Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks so much for your help!! Serious answers only please!!

i use a very small amount of grease...very small. also, i use leave-in conditioner while my hair is wet which helps lock in some moisturize and eliminates the need for use of other moisturizers.

good luck!

Drop the grease! Seriously! You should not be applying that to your hair! YOU DO NOT NEED IT- IT IS MAKING YOUR HAIR DRY AND DAMAGED! Do not put that crap on your scalp either! I can't believe the other answer told you to use "a little"

Please take my advice:

First of all, keeping your hair moisturized. This is as simple as wetting it in the shower, or wetting your hands and running them through your hair. DO NOT buy any moisturizer that has MINERAL OIL or PETROLATUM! care free curl gold and s-curl are popular moisturizers . you can get them at wal-mart. Do NOT use that Pink lotion!

2)use a wide tooth comb(as little as possible, maybe once a day) to avoid hairs breaking.

3)Wash your hair at once a week with shampoo. I wash mine with JUST conditioner sometimes too.

4)after shampooing, DEEP CONDITION by putting condish on your hair and putting a plastic cap over it and leaving it on for 15-30 minutes

5)massage your scalp daily

6)do not put any oils or "grease" on your scalp. Same goes with hair.

7)Try to relax your hair less. Every 8-10 weeks or longer!

8)You know your hair is breaking because if you look on the ends you will not see a white bulb. If you DO see a withe thing on the end, that is just shed hair. You shed 100 hairs a day, so it's all good. If it IS broken hair, do a protein treatment (use Organic Roots Stimulator mayonaisse or Aphogee 2 minute)

9)Try to put your hair up. Or protect your hair by leaving it in braids. DO NOT LEAVE BRAIDS IN TOO LONG or you will loose your hairline!

10)Do not limit your hair care products to the "ethnic" section of walmart. A lot of that stuff is crap *cough* Motions *cough* Creme of nature is really good though
