hair grease

Slick styling product

Hair grease is a thick, oily pomade used to moisturize, style, and add shine to hair.

It has particular importance in Black hair care, where it helps manage and protect tightly coiled textures: My grandmother kept a jar of hair grease on her dresser.

The term sometimes applies more loosely to any heavy styling product.
