Fabulous!
I bought Blue Magic's Petroleum Jelly on a whim, and I'm glad I did. I've heard of this product from them before but found it for the first time at my local hair supply store in NYC. I used it as a sealant for my 4C natural hair after washing, deep conditioning, and then moisturizing it with hot water and aloe vera gel. What's most interesting about this product is that it's not really a grease, but it's too shiny, too oily, and too smooth to pass off as petroleum jelly, it's also too white in color to even pass off as something like Vaseline, which is an off-yellow color. I was skeptical at first as to how my hair would respond to this because this product is very in-between, and also odd, in many ways. It's scented but its scent is barely there, like there's a slight floral smell, but it's really hard to detect it, sometimes you smell it, sometimes you don't. Using this as a grease on your hair makes you feel like you're using what I'd call a "clean" grease, where it doesn't have the heavy coloring, fragrance, and oils like their original blue or green Blue Magic, it's just petroleum jelly infused with aloe vera, safflower oil, and vitamin E. To my surprise, this product worked just like those greases. It's not too heavy, but it's not too light either. It held my two-strand twists together very beautifully. It actually gave my style a slicker and smoother look to it, and my hair was so moisturized. This is advertised as being like an all-purpose petroleum jelly where you can also use it on your body, hands, lips, etc. but I think you're better off just using straight up Vaseline; I just don't think it quite works in the same way because, again, it's just way too shiny, oily, and greasy for that, but as a sealant on moist/wet hair? Fabulous. I wouldn't go out of my way to just buy this product, but if I go back to the shop to get my favorite products and I so happen to see it's in stock still, sure, I'll grab it!
