Why I’m going back to “old school” products

August 2023 I had to big chop my hair due to bleach damage 😩 I’m obsessed with dyeing my hair but I prioritize healthy hair over length. So I am starting my hair growth journey again for the 3000th time.

This time around, I've chosen to revisit the products my mom used when I was little because they've always been effective! Despite the controversy, I stick with what works for me. Sure, there are newer, pricier options, but after multiple restarts, I'm going back to my roots.

I’ve been using Blue Magic for about 7 months now, and my hair adores it! I probably don’t use it the “right” way but I’ve been applying it throughout my hair and this has worked wonders for its dryness. I wash my hair every Sunday so my hair isn’t super oily. This works for me ! My hair has grown so much I’m able to put it in a ponytail now

Anyways share your favorite "old school" products below—I'm looking to expand beyond just Blue Magic!

Many individuals are embracing the nostalgia of old school hair care products, particularly those formulated for curly and natural hair. Blue Magic, a beloved staple, has been recognized for its rich moisturizing qualities, making it a favorite among those recovering from bleach damage. It's not just about using these products correctly; it's about listening to your hair's needs. Users report remarkable improvements in moisture retention and overall hair health by integrating these traditional formulas into their routines. Additionally, younger generations are discovering the effectiveness of these time-tested products, often recommended by older family members. Engaging in discussions about old school products can uncover new favorites you may not have tried yet. Also, incorporating simple practices like regular trims to prevent split ends and maintaining a healthy washing routine are essential components of your hair growth journey. Don't hesitate to share your experiences and tips to build a community around healthy hair care. Let's keep this conversation going and explore effective strategies together!

Blue Magic is a staple in my home for my daughter. I use it to keep her hair greased.

The main ingredient in that is mineral oil i believe which isnt inherently bad i think as long as u use a proper strong cleanser ur good, mineral oil can create a seal around the strands which keep moisture from leaving the hair meaning less breakage which is good ppl demonize mineral oil too much
