The Blue Magic Adventure Begins
Have you ever stumbled upon a tweet that made you do a double-take? That's exactly what happened to me when I was mindlessly scrolling through Twitter while practicing social distancing. A tweet caught my eye, and before I knew it, I found myself embarking on a hair experiment using none other than Blue Magic. Yes, you read that right – Blue Magic.
Now, you might be wondering why I would even consider using Blue Magic on my hair in this day and age. It's true that this product holds a special place in the hearts of many Black women, with memories of their mothers and grandmothers using it to grease their scalps. But to use it as a styling product? Well, that's a whole different story.
With a mix of excitement and nerves, I gathered all the necessary supplies and laid them out on my table. As I surveyed the products before me, I couldn't help but wonder if this experiment would turn out to be either an epic success or a complete disaster. Nevertheless, the show had to go on, and I was determined to entertain my audience.
First things first, I applied deep conditioner to my hair. I opted for TDI Miracle Repair Artichoke, a product that I've had great results with in the past. As I worked the conditioner into my strands, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of nervousness. It wasn't about the application process itself, because let's face it – I know how to handle my hair. The nerves stemmed from the anticipation of the comments I might receive. You see, whenever you step outside the realm of what the natural hair police dictate, people tend to get upset.
But here's the thing – I don't let anyone dictate what I can and cannot do with my curls. If I want to use petroleum or mineral oil on my hair, I'll do it without hesitation. So, with confidence, I slathered on the deep conditioner, knowing that I was in control of my hair journey.
After letting the deep conditioner work its magic for 15 minutes, I rinsed it out, leaving my strands feeling silky and moisturized. But here's where things get interesting. You see, the oils in Blue Magic, as wonderful as they are, have a tendency to lock in moisture. That's all well and good if you have already moisturized hair, but if you apply it to dry hair, you might find yourself with a head of greasy, limp locks.
To avoid this greasy catastrophe, I made sure to apply a copious amount of leave-in conditioner to my hair. This would provide the necessary moisture that Blue Magic would then lock in. It's a delicate balance, ensuring that my hair stays moisturized without becoming weighed down by excessive oils.
Feeling like a mad scientist concocting the perfect formula, I carefully applied the Blue Magic hair grease on top of my hair. I was mindful not to go overboard, as too much grease can be difficult to remove. I wanted this experience to be nostalgic yet successful, not a greasy nightmare.
Rubbing the hair grease between my fingertips, I worked it into my hair, section by section. There was something strangely satisfying about seeing the blue tint in my curls. It was as if I had been transported back to my childhood, watching my mother and grandmother smooth Blue Magic through my hair.
But nostalgia aside, I had to add another element to this hair experiment to ensure a good hold. While Blue Magic is great for balancing moisture, it's not designed to provide hold. For that, I turned to my trusty friend, Wetline gel.
Wetline gel has always been my go-to styling product. It's affordable and gives me the hold I need for my short hair. So, I generously applied the gel on top of the Blue Magic, using my fingers to rake it through my strands. It was a delicate dance, ensuring that the gel and hair grease mixed just right to create the perfect balance of moisture and hold.
As I worked my way through each section of hair, I couldn't help but admire the results. My curls were popping, defined, and full of life. It was a testament to the power of Blue Magic and the magic of a well-executed hair experiment.
But the journey was not over yet. Now, it was time to stretch my hair. Although it wasn't completely dry, I wanted to achieve maximum length, so I sectioned my hair and used hairbands to create tension. This would help elongate my curls while keeping them intact.
Once my hair was completely dry, I removed the bands and marveled at the results. My hair was voluminous, with a fluffy yet defined look that I had never achieved before. The combination of Blue Magic and gel had created a style that I absolutely loved.
I couldn't believe that I had achieved such amazing results using hair grease that had been a staple in my household growing up. It was a trip down memory lane that left me feeling satisfied and excited to continue exploring new ways to style my natural hair.
In conclusion, the adventure of using Blue Magic on my hair was a resounding success. The nostalgia, the experimentation, and, most importantly, the incredible results made this journey worthwhile. So, if you're ever in the mood for a little throwback to your childhood or want to try something unconventional with your hair, don't be afraid to channel your inner mad scientist and give Blue Magic a try. You might just be pleasantly surprised by the magic it can create.
