 Vix Vapor Rubber? Yes! Trini Girl Natural Today we're talking about Vix Vapor Rub The stuff that you grew up putting on your chest and stuff when you have the cold natural to not putting it in their hair so I'm here with this should you or shouldn't you and right into it, shall we? I'm gonna start by doing what everybody else should start by doing which is checking the ingredients and then we can go from there The ingredients of the Vix Vapor Rub is kind of surprising I think probably because it's well open and actually not probably it's definitely because it's a really old product before they learn about putting a lot of crap and stuff so the ingredients are actually pretty good mindless to petroleum so the active ingredients are camphor, eucalyptus, oil and menthol and as they do on your chest they're all pretty much meant to stimulate they're also like cough suppressants and stuff but essentially they're stimulants so I could see them stimulating the scowl the inactive ingredients are also pretty good minus the petroleum so there's petroleum and then there's cedarwood oil, nutmeg oil and tippentine oil so those are all again things that just help to stimulate the scowl a few of them are also antibacterial or antifungal so eucalyptus oil for example is antibacterial the nutmeg oil is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant the thymol which I think is actually the right from thym is antifungal and antibacterial and the tippentine oil is an antioxidant also stimulants the scowl so those are all great and if it wasn't a formulation that didn't contain petroleum I would have been like hey go for it I did a video on how to do a scowl massage and I mentioned there that you definitely don't want to put petroleum on your scowl I'm not team petroleum because it's a sealant and it can really clog your follicles so I know if you shampoo really well most likely you'll get rid of it if you shampoo regularly I know something about shampoo that's regularly so if you shampoo regularly with a strong shampoo you may be okay using petroleum on your scowl but generally out avoided there isn't really a need to do it you can use a carrier oil like castor oil and put all your essential oils into it but if you already use grease and you're happy with your life and you want to use vix I would actually say go for it because it's just grease plus some good stuff if you don't use petroleum well obviously you don't have any business putting vix on your scowl so then I would say get some teachy oil and some peppermint oil and some castor oil or even avocado oil for your carrier oil and use that instead to stimulate your scowl so I'm going to give you a little demonstration so this is the texture of I want to say grease but the vix so you can see it's pretty thick it does do good things for a stuffy nose but this is the texture of it on your hands so this is not going to be rubbing in this is going to leave a film on you like you know you can see it so this is a sealant, this is petroleum, this is grease so if that's what you want to do to your scowl go ahead this is what you're doing to your scowl this is your scowl on vix this is my oil mix it's like olive, avocado and castor so it's still pretty heavy put some right there so you can see and this is your hand your hand on oil so so as you can see that that oil gets in there whereas this grease is still a problem this grease is still present I can still feel it it's not going nowhere no matter what I do I'm going to need some soap to get this out so that was my demonstration an oil versus vix aka grease with some good stuff and what it would look like to your scowl if all you're looking to do is stimulate your scowl you can just get some peppermint oil for regular use if you want to do like an antibacterial treatment tea tree oil is like a marvelous oil for just scowl issues and periodic use to deal with scowl issues and you can just get like a little bottle of pure tea tree or peppermint oil but last year a really long time so you don't have to live the vix life that's not what you want to do there are options, there are alternatives whether you're using vix or oil or even nothing like sea bum girls like myself you don't have to put a lot of product to massage your scowl so I definitely recommend this is a case where you would go mild on it you don't just want to slap it on your scowl like 2 inches thick just put a little bit on your fingertips and then massage your scowl so I won't go into too much detail about it because I have a full video on scowl massaging so definitely check that out but I would say whether you're using oil or whether you're using grease or vix you don't have to put a lot just a little bit on your fingertips the stimulation will get there from your fingertips and less is more because the less gunk especially petroleum but even oil that you put on your scowl the more sea bum your scowl can create because your scowl stops producing sea bum until your scowl is clean so when you put stuff on it it's like okay you don't need me no more I'm out that's what your sea bum says and sea bum is of course the best oil for your hair because it does also have an acid mantle so it does also protect your cuticles and just to stress that the most important thing is actually retaining your length I'm taking care of what you do have because there are a lot of people looking for growth treatments and good magic but they're not taking care of what they do have and I think that is definitely step one until you're retaining length it doesn't even make sense to go looking for growth tricks or good magic you know and I didn't really need your strict control of things and doing all sorts of things so if you're just like oh what's the latest growth thing oh let me put this in my link put that in your hair it can be risky let's put it that way it can be risky so slow and steady good regimen retain your length and it'll happen like there's no rush I think that was the first thing I had to learn when I went natural is that there's no rush it will happen it will grow because yeah you want it to grow now it grows slowly slowly it does grow so yeah so I hope this was informative and I hope it kind of shed some light on the entire topic if you're curious about it if you want to use it now you know so let me know what you thought in the comments and let me know if your team makes I guess that's a drill but let me know if you're using your scalp or not or if you use anything on your scalp what do you use how do you use it and what's your philosophy when it comes to hair length hair length thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one bye
