My Hair Grew and Did Not Fall Out | EfikZara
Zara is back on CurlyNikki! She’s a fabulous naturalista who shares her natural hair journey with her followers. That includes more than 170K subscribers (aka ZeeStarz) on her EfikZara YouTube channel!
Hair grease, aka petroleum jelly or any mineral-oil based hair product, is a pretty contentious topic among naturalistas. Why? Well… many don’t see it as “natural” and there is also the issue of how the raw material (petroleum) is sourced and affects the planet. Zara addresses these issues, full-on, in her video – she really doesn’t hold back!
So, why is Zara so ecstatic about hair grease? Hint: She actually makes her own! Find out how with the access she gives you to her recipes. And, hear all about the benefits she has reaped from using hair grease as she details all seven benefits for you. We’ll give you a heads up on a couple of them if you wish to keep reading but, hey, feel free to JUMP TO THE VIDEO!
Hair Grease Benefit #1: A healthier scalp
Zara reports she has said “Bye!” to past scalp issues she has had to deal with, so no itching, no irritation, and no scalp fungus. And, as we like to use the analogy of your scalp being the soil your hair is rooted in, you can definitely see how keeping your scalp healthy helps to guarantee your hair will grow healthy and strong.

Hair Grease Benefit #2: Less breakage
Textured hair is more prone to breakage, for a variety of reasons, than straight hair. If you have Type 4 hair like Zara does, you know that is so TRUE! Coiler hair makes it difficult for sebum (your scalp’s natural oil) to lubricate the strands.
Plus, coiler hair is also more prone to knots and tangles, such as those pesky single-strand knots Zara mentions. Those can lead to even more breakage. Watch as she explains how and why hair grease has helped cut back on the amount of hair breakage she experiences.

Hair Grease Benefit #3: Hair that is more even
This may be an obsession for some but we are willing to guess that even if you aren’t obsessed with even hair, you at least like the idea of having it. Right! It can make styling your hair less stressful since your curls are more likely to appear uniformed and not have different lengths sticking out from each other.
Zara has other benefits of hair grease lined up for you along with her usual science-based explanations of why her approach to natural hair care works. Enjoy!
