Now this may come as a shock to some of my Ghanaian beauties as it did when I started my natural journey………….NEWS FLASH Grease -that lovely thick pomade containing petrolatum and/or mineral oil that we all grew up using to moisturize dry hair and scalp IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HAIR. Do not use products containing mineral oil or petrolatum. They are cheap oils that clog pores, deprive the hair of moisture and hinder hair growth. Now this isn’t to say your hair won’t grow, because there are a lot of Ghanaian mums who would swear by them, but using oils gives your hair more breathing space and promotes growth without suffocating your pores. So fess up ladies, are you guilty of the petroleum overload?
