A 14 oz tub of petroleum jelly is the least glamorous thing in a hair cupboard and one of the most used. It seals, it protects, and it costs a fraction of what the same job costs in a smarter jar.

On hair it does three things. It conditions dry lengths and eases the feel of a dry, tight scalp. It smooths frizz down and adds shine to a sleek style. And it forms a barrier, which is why people reach for it around the hairline before a colour service, or over the ends before a protective style goes in.

  • Conditions dry hair and eases the feel of a tight scalp
  • Smooths frizz and adds shine to sleek styles
  • Forms a barrier around the hairline and over vulnerable ends
  • Works on natural, afro, curly and straight hair alike

The heavier your product habit already is, the less of this you need. A little goes a long way and it takes a proper shampoo to shift it, so start with a fingertip rather than a scoop. The tub gets used for more than hair in most households, which is the other reason this size makes sense.

Application tips

A very small amount goes a long way, so start with a smear on the fingertips. On hair, warm it first and use it on the ends and mid-lengths, never at the root.

On the scalp, apply along the partings and massage in. It also does the usual jobs around the hairline before a colour goes on, and on dry patches of skin.

Results

Dry hair and dry scalp both soften, and the coating it leaves slows moisture escaping across the day. Frizz lies down and short pieces stay put.

The shine is high and the barrier it forms is genuinely protective against wind and cold. Use too much and the hair looks greasy, which is the only real learning curve.
