Vaseline on your hair...Its amazing!

Submitted by Steph

Well as you know vaseline can be used for many different things, make-up, skin... and hair! Do you find after drying or straightening your hair you get split ends that ruin your look and make your hair look frizzy?

Well take a small amount of vaseline and rub it evenly in your hands... then apply it to your hair! And all those horrid frizzy bits dissapear!

Be careful not to apply too much though...otherwise your hair may get greasy and you dont want that!

what? Comments By: Naz how will you get the vasline out? won't stuff stick to your hair? TipKing says: I think the tips is just calling for a little vaseline   no way Comments By: zola vaseline clogs the follicles and your hair gets weighed down if you want something for the ends get a HAIR product without petroleum or mineral oil eg mango butter that will no weigh your hair down   how to get vaseline out Comments By: 12yearoldhairstylist i know there are people out there that have done this, and agreed with me that the writer of this tip needs a good slap in the face for leading us off in the wrong direction. if you put vaseline in your hair, it is extremely hard to get it to come out. so, do not use vaseline in your hair! use a product designed specificly for hair and that will shampoo out!!!! however, if you have already put vaseline in your hair, there is a way. put cornstarch or cornflour in your hair. a lot of cornstarch. put it in and then brush it out. do this many times. shampoo, repeat. it takes a while but it works. flour will also work, but not as well.   Urgh Comments By: Lanie i put vaseline in my hair a few yeras ago because i got told it would help. it took me 4 wahses to get it out. dont use it. and it broke off the ends of my already damaged hair.   worked for me... Comments By: Joe I put vaseline in my hair and it worked better than any product i have ever use. Usually when i put gel, hair spray, or mouse my hair starts coming down on my forhead after i style and it loses its consitensy. Noit with vaseline, my hair looked natural anf feexible (something impossible to achieve with gel). I would like to know if it damages the hair though, but other than that i have no concerns, it worked great.   Wouldn't recommend this!! Comments By: Megan I saw this tip and had to share my story: when I was in 8th grade I wanted shiny, soft hair so I put vaseline on my hair in the shower. It didn't come out.... I washed it a few times and still didn't come out! My mom had to call me in sick to school because my hair was sooo greasy! We called our hairdresser and she told me to wash it out with Dawn dish soap. Dish soap is very drying to your hair but it was the only thing to get it out. I washed it with that and then did a few conditioning treatments to get it back to normal. NEVER AGAIN will I use Vaseline in my hair!   Vaseline and hair type Comments By: DA Vaseline works best on Black hair because its like hair grease.   Ummm Comments By: SheBang I use vaseline for my hair, I have no problem with it! I use it after I take a shower and it gives me a wet look but not in a greasy gelly way. It is actually working for me! I put a little though, not too much on the top or it will not get volume up there! If it's harnful, i don't know! I am careful not to apply it directly to my skull and it's AWSOME. All in all i think it depends on you hair type!   I have used it... Comments By: ~Mike I have used vaseline on my hair and yes, it made my hair look "greasy" but ive used it many times and have found that a little goes a long way. like anything if you use to much it has a more extreme result. I now use what I consider to be just enough. I also read that it works/looks best in black hair. I agree. I myself have black hair, and quite think hair. Hope that helps! If any one is bored and lookin for some music to listen to id appreciate it if you took the time to check out my bands page on myspace. www.myspace.com/theruthlessdesign   I just tried using Vaseline Comments By: dave It works great so far. I've tried gel, but when it dries, it looks like I have dandruff. It takes too long for my hair to naturally get greasy. I can go almost two weeks w/o washing my hair and it will stay puffy. I don't like my hair when it's dry, but when it's wet, it looks great. The vaseline made my hair looks good today, but I wonder how bad is it for me to use. I would buy a product specially for the hair, but it's gotta work like Vaseline.   what vaseline is best for . . . Comments By: MayKay vaseline is best suited for applying to the ends of dark, thick, curly hair =)   wow! Comments By: thatgirl2998 i love vaseline on my hair! it does so good and makes my hair grow. well you see, i put a lot on my hair before i go to bed and when i wake up, it isnt greasy and its much more managable! i think its better than grease!   vaseline on your hair Comments By: Tess I have dark thick curly and frizzy DRY hair. I hate my hair and I have tried very expensive & best products - you named it, I got it. My hair is damaged from too much chemicals & hair dryer. I learnt of vaseline and tried it. I dont use hair dryer. I just put them to my ends and it is be BEST product. My frizz is gone, its not greasy, my curls looks great. And hair feels soft, not like gel with the wet look or feels like rock! If you have my hair go for it!   its not so bad... Comments By: alexandria Hey everyonee,I just put some vaseline in my hair this morning specifically for styling purposes ,and it worked greatt it gave me a wet look but not a greasy one but I was careful not to apply it to my crown only the ends and body of my hair cuz ittl take away my volume P.s I have egyptian hair. Its really long dark brown thick curly hair.   vasline in hair Comments By: alexandra hi i just experienced vasline4 in both my daughter and my hair it was horrible spent 2 days trying to wash it outlooked on the internet and i tried everything it said from peanut butter dish saop laundry detergent cornstarch none of this worked. My daughter had the lice thats when this happened about the vasline thing but after trying all of this i tried lice shampoo and it was amazing it got evey greesy strand out both me and my daughters hair.   Duuude Comments By: Shawn Man, I use it every single day. I've got longish blond hair that's quite thin, and it works great for styling purposes. I've been using it for quite a while, and I notice no damage. My hair doesn't look greasy at all, either. Like a couple of people have said, I think it all depends on your hair type/style.   Vaseline as an overnight conditioning treatment Comments By: Pam I usually put almond/coconut/olive oil on my hair before I go to bed on weekends, and shower the next morning. One time I decided to use vaseline (I use it regularly on my eyelashes as a way to moisturize them after removing the mascara) Anyhoo, I rubbed a little bit on my hand to soften it, then massaged it onto my damp hair, concentrated on the ends and damaged parts. Next morning I washed my hair like usual (shampoo + conditioner) and it looked absolutely gorgeous! It was soo shiny, thick and frizz-less. I thought I had find the secret to beautiful hair, so when I did this for the second time I didn't have the same results. Not sure why... Anyhow, I think this would work better for girls with thick/coarse/curly hair since it adds a lotta shine and tames frizz. Just make sure you rub it between your palms before you apply it, oh and use it on damp hair.
