For years I avoided Olaplex bc the cost scared me and I’ve always believed in more natural haircare. But ever since I’ve used bleach nothing has helped me maintain and/or grow my hair like Olaplex has. It’s a game changer.
A few things that actually helped to control my hairfall include: (1) I discontinued wearing ponytails because it leds to tension breakage. (2) I began massaging my scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while leaning forward & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to safeguard my hair from pollution. (4) Using soft shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.
I have actually seen positive changes in both shine and hair fall control thanks to liittlllextra cooconnion oil. The water here is hard and it’s important to nourish hair and scalp with the right ingredients. This oil does just that. I’m eager to try their newly launched reeactivate hair serum.
I know this is an old video, but for anyone else who watches this 18 months later and wonders: Satin is a weave style while silk is a fiber. So you can have satin in a bunch of different materials (i.e. silk blends, polyester, nylon, etc). I think since silk is a natural material it is more absorbent than some synthetic materials, so satin fabrics made with those synthetic materials will be less absorbent than satin made with silk. I don't know that it's enough to make a noticeable difference since silk already is much less absorbent than something like cotton (silk is moisture-wicking and temperature regulating). I find silk to be more breathable than satin made with synthetic material. Silk is also hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. Satin made with synthetic material is often much cheaper than silk and you don't have to worry about getting synthetic material satin falsely advertised as silk. Silk also crinkles and wrinkles easier than synthetic material satin, so there are definitely pros and cons for both. I use a silk pillowcase and a synthetic material satin bonnet (BUT, if it's not double lined, make sure you wear it inside out if you go satin. Satin will have a shiny side and a dull side, it's the shiny side you want touching your hair but they always make synthetic material satin with the dull side on the inside for aesthetics). I toss and turn so much at night that I also wear my hair in a loose braid (secured with a silk scrunchie) and then tucked up in my bonnet Often times my bonnet falls off at night from my movements, and if my hair is just loose in the bonnet it will become so knotted the times my bonnet falls off.
I live in Scotland and all our water comes from the mountain run off (obv treated and filtered through). The water is so natural and clean, no chemicals, and my hair literally flows like silk after washing it!! When I stay over night in the city and use the water there, I instantly recognised the difference. Hair feels more like straw after cleaning on hard water. Ew.
I actually grew my hair long and donated 18 inches of it to a company that makes wigs for children with cancer. She is absolutely right. Not shampooing your hair really does help increase the length of your hair. But because I am a hijabi (muslim woman who covers her hair for modesty), it was easier for me to train my hair since nobody sees my hair outside. But for the women who dont cover their hair can wear a wig while training their hair. I hope the tip helps.
@@Ladycon8 after like detoxifying my hair for like years, my hair now stays fresh even after like 5 days. But I do rinse my hair whenever I feel like hot but I just don't shampoo until like the 5th or 6th day .
brushing your hair when it’s greasy at the root is the best! You spread those natural oils down to the ends of your hair when you brush from root to tip!!
Also important to use a super grabby bristle brush like boar bristle and works even better if u hit the area with a little low heat to loosen it up, think about the difference between room temp solid pastey coconut oil and when it warm and turns to liquid.
I’ve watched several videos related to hair care and growing your hair after its been damaged. This is by far the most informative one I’ve seen. Thank you
Thank you for bringing up the fact that silk is more absorbent than satin! A lot of people seem to think silk is better because it's more expensive. All it does is absorb oils and moisturizing products from our skin and hair. I love my satin pillowcase.
Satin is a type of weave, not an actual fiber (like silk or cotton for example). As a former fiber artist, I know that you can weave any fiber into a satin (loosely spun silk makes the best satin in my opinion)
When I was in treatment for throat cancer. I stopped brushing my hair Bc I was loosing it (chemo) so I started putting in a loose bun. It helped me keep most my hair. I lost all the bottom but it’s grown back. Vitamins helps too.
Yes, please do a hair training video with tips on how to extend your hair between washes off besides just dry shampoo! I’m currently in the process of working on that and I’m one that has extremely oily skin and never thought I could go a day without washing. I used to be oily by the end of the day when washing it first thing in the morning and now I’m good going every two or three days! Quarantine has been the perfect time to train hair 💕
Hey girl! This is one of the best videos I've seen! I'm 63, not ready to give up my waist length blonde hair and swimming anytime soon. ...my waist length thin ends and mids just keeps breaking off. ...This particular video has really helped me sort out what to do! I love the microfiber towel and wet brush pro suggestion. ...also, I was set on buying olaplex , and you gave me an affordable option with Pureology. I'm going to mix and match. ...Oh yea! and the satin pillow is a must! so much has improved by that alone in the past 1 year I've used one. ... I've also found great success with the ordinary argaline, matryxl and caffeine drops along with their retinoid drops have made me at least 40 again! ...even had a couple guys in their 20s ask me out LOL yes! Merry Christmas 2022!
I'm definitely one of those people who feel like it would be impossible to not wash my hair daily, so hearing your story makes me feel encouraged to try at least going every other day. I toss and turn in my sleep and get huge knots in my hair so I always feel like I have to keep it much shorter, I tried wearing hair ties at first, and it made my scalp go numb so maybe scrunchies won't do that. Thanks so much for this video! It was extremely helpful. :)
Tip from when I went to dermatologist for the problem with the oily hair: wash your hair for 2 weeks straight with only water everyday, massage your scalp gently and then dry it and massage your scalp with a towel (dont use a normal towel cause its very damaging, use a soft towel or even paper towels), the massaging will absorb all the sebuum and oils. During this 2 weeks dont use nothing on your hair other than water (and the towels ofc). My hair was getting greasy really quick and after this treatment it completely changed and i could wash my hair once a week without problems
i know im randomly asking but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
I grew my hair from collarbone length to past my elbows. It took a long time, but I cut out using heat appliances on my hair and stopped going to the salon. My guy got me a wide tooth comb, and I use that to comb out my hair after a shower, I don’t use a brush on my wet hair as that causes breakage. I use the same type of towel as you, I have a yellow and aqua color one. The other thing that helped keep my hair in good shape was my guy gave me micro trims every ten weeks. He did the full sectioning and let my hair down in 1/2” increments to trim each layer to remove split/damaged ends to reduce breakage. The amount that he took off was barely noticeable. He was fully supportive of my long hair journey, unlike the scissor happy stylists that just want to cut. A friend of mine who is a hairdresser stopped over to visit when I was getting my ends trimmed and watched intently. She commented that he wasn’t taking off very much and that my hair is so thick that it needs to be thinned out. I was very happy that it was my guy doing my hair and not my friend the hairdresser. My guy would never use a razor or thinning shears on my hair. Here is how he does my trims. m.czcams.com/video/7ixwCfku3fY/video.html I use olive and argan oils on my hair and I wear my hair in different braids. I have my hubby give me French, Dutch, fishtail, side, wraparound, three and four strand braids. I get compliments on my hair in the different braids and people ask how I do them. So it does take time and effort to grow long, beautiful hair, but I am definitely a long haired lady and I have no plans to ever cut my hair off, and If I ever did, my guy would talk me down from it rather than grab the shears and cut it all off.
When he was giving me a trim the first time, I told him that I had wanted to grow my hair long but it wouldn’t. I had wanted to grow it to my knees, but when it got to wear I was beginning to sit on it, I told him to cut it to my elbows. He did as I asked, and when I saw how much was coming off, I got upset, but it was exactly what I asked for. Women can decide for themselves that they want long hair, and usually it is other women that are jealous of it, and try to use the excuse that you only have long hair because of your husband.
I absolutely love your videos. You not only recommend products, you also explain functionality and benefits instead of just stating you use this, this and this. I have been bleaching my hair for a year and straightening it for 7 years so you can imagine how damaged it is. When I had brown natural hair it was extremely long but damaged however now I bleach it, it doesn’t grow past my shoulders. Definitely going to follow your routine!!
GIRL. next time you get the orange/yellow damage to your hair from hardwater, use the crystal clarifying treatment packettes from Ion. LITERALLY the only product that's every removed it from my hair. I destroyed my hair with bleach, and it was still no match for the hard water. I used four packets, and left them on for half an hour, and it removed 90% of the orange buildup.
Team Water Damaged ( which leads to hairfall, dryness, reduce the quality of hair) 1. I use filtered water 2. Fermentation of rice water for 36 hours 3. Use it as a rinse after washing my hair with shampoo or water. 4. Rinsing my hair with rice water has made a drastic change.
I am 61 and from the South. So, I went to Charm School (yes, yes I did - I still have the book!). We were taught to lather twice, so that is what I have always done. I have never washed my hair everyday. For many years, I washed every couple of days, and for the past decade or more, I've been washing once a week. Sometimes I will wash twice a week, usually in the summer when it's very hot. Second day hair are always my best hair days! I also do a weekly hair mask. Sunday is my self care day and I will put it on early in the day, put on a shower cap, and wrap it in a warm towel. At a minimum I leave on for 30 minutes, but I try to leave it on for several hours. I make my own masks, mixing different oils depending on what my hair needs. Recently, I started doing a monthly scalp scrub. It has made a huge difference in the overall health of my scalp and hair. Lastly, as part of my nightly routine, I give myself a 5 minute scalp massage. I somethings use hair growth serums, but mostly it's just a "dry" massage.
@@reneesoli5345 I don't have recipes, per se. My hair is straight and fine. My base oil is jojoba, which adds hydration and is moisturizing, and hemp, which conditions the hair. If my hair is feeling dry I'll add argan, amla, avocado. If I need shine I add baobab. For hair growth black castor and amla. I love this stuff and love making my own concoctions. 😁
@@jda58tex thank you. I have jojoba oil,argan oil and grapeseed oil. Wgat combination would you use? What oil would be the base and the others next and least? Thank you for your help and knowledge.
@@reneesoli5345 grapeseed oil is a great conditioner. I don't know your hair type and I'm not any kind of expert, but I would start with equal parts of each oil. See how that goes. Then adjust the next time. You'll get to know which oils your hair likes and how much it can take. I start by taking it on my fingertips and massaging into my scalp, then bringing it down to the ends.
@@jda58tex oh wow! I was thinking of applying to my ends of my hair. Do you like to put a little on the scalp to help with finger glide while massaging the scalp. Interesting. I massage my scalp daily would you use oil daily? My hair is mostly silver the dark is in the back of my head at the bottom layer quickly disappearing. I have thick hair with an S curle. Without a heating tool my hair would be frizzy.
I dyed my hair extremely light for my wedding back in October & I have been trying to get it stronger & healthier on top of attempting to get some length. My mother-in-law trims it for me , not as often as I’d like but I’m going to have her for it every 4-6 weeks. My natural color/growth is about mid way down my hair. The length is to my bra strap, so I’m hoping these tips will help with my hair 😅😅
As a hair dresser I can promise you if one persons hair grows healthy it’s not necessarily the products they are using! If your hormone levels and genetics are different than that persons than your experience will not be the same! Biotin and coconut oil on damaged ends! And make sure you are having blood work done to check ur hormone levels! You do not want to use drug store products mainly bc they can be tampered with and some have ingredients that you don’t want in your hair hence the reason they didn’t make it to a professional level...when it comes to shampoo and conditioner I do love pureology and so do all my clients but results may not be the same for everyone
Brilliant comment. I think hormones play a bigger part than products. As a 44 year old long healthy haired woman, I’m so scared my hair will start to thin, and shorten the anagen cycle. Which hormones were you referring to? (Estrogen?) I want to find out. Thank you!
I’ve been listening to a podcast that has a cosmetic chemist on and he says that drug store products are just fine. Lots of the drug store brands also produce the professional brands. They even go through more testing for customer satisfaction and use many of the same ingredients and are produced in the same factory. He also mentioned that hair stylists push the professional brands because theyre told what to think by the sales people of the salon brands- Not actually what’s going on from an evidenced based or cellular level.
Came across your channel today and I must say that your videos are lifesavers! I've been dealing with hear breakage and hair fall for the past few months and your tips are something that I will follow. Also, the way you deliver your videos is just amazing! Such an angel yay! Thank you for all the tips and tricks! Your videos are my go-to going forward!
Thank you for all these great tips...I’ve always admired your beautiful hair! This is kinda random, but I think it would be super fun to see a video of you giving a “home tour” and show your home decor (plus where you’ve gotten some of your favorite things) and of course your beauty product setup. Also...I miss your monthly favorites videos! ❤️
Of course so happy to help! I will think about it 😊 I feel like I don’t have any new faves right now but when I have enough for a video I will make one!
I used to do that, although I would saturate my hair root to tip in coconut oil, and leave it all in for a week. At night I would wrap my hair up in a silk scarf, putting it up, wrapped around all of my hair. I know, that is gross, but it worked for me, especially since I was single at the time, and no body had to see my stringy, greasy coconut oil covered hair, lol! You don't have to do this, but it REALLY made my hair healthier, and a million times shinier after I washed all the oil out--I would shampoo my hair twice like her as well. Maybe you could find a similar trick as me, but one that would not leave your hair stringy and greasy like mine was from the coconut oil--maybe just using a deep conditioner that you can spray on the hair, like she says, doing that daily or every other day. Anyway, that's my spiel. Hope this helos. :)
I'll add to the hard water situation because I have well water myself. I did not know there was a product to help with mineral buildup. I discovered ION's Hard Water Shampoo and Conditioner at Sally's Beauty Supply. I have used them twice so far and I can feel an immediate difference in my hair after each wash. My hair no longer felt weighed down and gross. My hair was softer and shinier. My scalp has never felt this clean before. I highly recommend this product!
I’m on the same boat as you. I went from brown to blonde and experienced so much breakage!! Everything you said in this video are things that I have been doing for a while now and I have one suggestion. Get yourself a satin haircap to sleep in at night time! I used to do buns with scrunchies and I would still have to brush my hair in the morning because it tangled. With the hair cap, I brush my hair before I put it on and wake up and it feels EXACTLY the same, no tangles at all!! Really changed the game and it’s super comfortable. Also a great hair mask with all natural ingredients is Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque w/ Sea Kelp and Argan Oil
Yesssss Dr Dray does the silk cap too !!! Im so going to get one. Dr Dray also recommended to use Neutragena TSal shampoo for build up... Its fragrance free and contains salicylic acid which is good for your scalp which is still just skin. I love it and it works great for me. I colour my hair too and so far it hasn't made me brassy either. 👌👌👌
Straight guy here who loves quality hair 😋 I don’t click with men they’d use a 6 in one shampoo that they could wash their car with if they could! What I’ve learned is to never wash your hair period. Throw your shampoo in the garbage! I wash my hair every 2 weeks! I soak my hair in coconut oil for 30 minutes, expose to sun for better results. Thoroughly rinse it with COLD water. Pat dry never use a blow dryer, when your hair is somewhat still damp take a really good maintenance conditioner. I alternate between redKen and bio silk hydration. I mix half & half with coconut oil. Scrunch it in and cold wash again. Let it naturally dry on its own! Don’t use a tow at all, just pat dry if you have too. Never use a hair dyer either. Throughout the week I use a natural dry shampoo. Good luck.
I purchased the Pureology Strength Building brand after watching this video months ago. I love it. It’s the best stuff I’ve ever used. On a side note: A warning about Loreal’s 8 second “Wonder Water”. It worked beautifully the first time I used it, but shortly thereafter caused extreme brittleness, leading to hair breakage. Apparently, many people have experienced the same devastating result.
My stylist said clogging the scalp with oils can cause permanent loss of hair regrowth. I’ve stopped using my argan oil daily on my scalp due to fear 😳
Cowashing helped me get an extra day out of my hair, so I could wash it every other day instead of every day. But my seborrheic dermatitis hates it! However, "training" my hair with shampoo has really not worked and only makes my hair greasy the day after washing it, despite years of effort.
Love how in depth you are to every ingredient and benefit to everything. Love your olaplex No0 & No3 video, just started using those products and No4 & 5 last week:)
Can I just say, that after you were talking about your blonde hair and having to maintain it, I wondered how amazing you would look with darker hair! Ever tried going darker? I totally think you could pull it off.
The thing is everyone hair is soooo different..I have only washed my hair once a week for yrs because I'm lazy and it never grows..the more I wash the more growth I get..everyone is soo different.
I’ve literally been doing all of this for two years and have seen no difference in my hair. I feel so discouraged because I have invested so much time and money into trying to have long strong hair. I will always have thin fine hair that doesn’t grow very long. So much of hair is just genetics.
My hair is thin, fine, low density and porous BUT it is long and will grow. Hang in there. May I suggest organic vitamins and grass fed collagen? I eat as much grass fed dairy and food as I can. I am experiencing some fall out but Im 56 years old but my colored hair is beyond my shoulders. Im committed for the rest of 2021 to Pureology, Redken and Olaplex. Good luck my friend!!
@@CC-iv7uj I appreciate the advice, Carla! I have tried collagen but I do not believe it is organic grass fed. I am going to look into that and the organic vitamins. Thank you for taking the time to reply :)
@@robitai525b i dont want you to give up. I have just started using OLAPLEX shampoo and conditioner #3 and #4 like 3 weeks ago. I also use 6 and 7 after. I have very recently used #zero 0 and #3 treatment and since then have washed my hair once and noticed less fall out. Coincidence, maybe. It is absolutely possible but I sense some improvement. Hang in there!! Yes grass fed and organic make a difference. Non GMO stuff too. The fats are so much better for you. Alicia Silverstone vitamins are by far the BEST! I believe its Garden of Life over 50 Womens that I take one a day of. Try grass fed dairy. Very affordable at Aldi and now Costco Kirkland brand has 90% geass fed butter for $9.99 excellent price for 4 blocks. I watch a YT channel with a guy named Bobby Flav City. He is amazing at educating us and finding the best deals on HIGH quality food. FlavCity. Do u have a Costco membership? If so thats where they sell the collagen and butter but I have seen the collagen all over, at Target also. Its BLUE packaging. I will get the name for you.
One tip to have less damaged hair is to literally never put it back or up, no hair ties, scrunchies, nothing. The only time you would have to is to wash your face, and I use a headband, and just stuff the hair under it. I know it is weird, and takes some getting used to, but I notice a clear difference in my hair now that I don't put it back. I know you will want to put your hair up for exercising, but don't. Again, that will be weird at first, but you get used to it after a while. Also, only brush your hair from bottom to top, by starting with the tangles closest to the bottom of your hair, slowly working your way to the top. These are my cheap to free tricks. I am really poor, so I can't afford to buy all the things that she has for her hair in this video, so I am going to try to find a cheaper alternative--like drug store alternative version to this video. I won't be making a video about it, but can get back to you on what I find, and the results that I get, if you like. All the best, and good luck with your hair endeavors! :)
Coconut miracle oil it’s the best! Left it on over night . Then washed it in the morning. My hair has to look so good for a long time . I have blonde, fine, thin hair
Sip thankful for these tips! After 1 year of being in our new home with hard water, my hair is in terrible condition. So broken, so thin, etc... Can't wait to try some of your suggestions. I have curly hair though, so going to have to do a couple things differently.
Hi Abbey! I love your videos about hair care and hair products. They are the best on CZcams. Keep ‘em coming! Thank you for all of the recommendations and advice!
I finally started shampooing twice and it’s absolutely great…my hair feels lighter, fluffier and bouncier and my scalp is no longer itchy, or getting the little bumps on it that I was getting. Also, I always rinse at the end with water mixed with apple cider vinegar and it keeps my hair so soft and frizz free, love it! My hair is just collar bone length but I do have highlights so I have to treat it very gently. Moroccanoil smoothing lotion is my holy grail. I’m using Pacificas Pineapple Curls shampoo and conditioner and I really don’t even need to deep condition all the time like I used to but Amika makes great masks as do the Macadamia line. Fantastic. I sleep on a satin pillowcase and use a turbie twist to dry after washing. I’m hoping to finally get my hair down to my breasts and I really think I’ll get there eventually…finally!
Just bought that filter! I am experiencing brassy color and dryness we have hard water never thought of this! Thank you so much!! Blessings to your channel!!
I have been using the crisan oil for a few months and it’s the best .Put it all over your hair and brush it and put it in a bun.It makes incredible shine,takes off frizz,and makes it grow.It has 55 amazing oils so use it ,you will thank me for it.Tip:use a lot and use it overnight or 1 hour .I normally use it in 2 hours .Tell me your expirience!!
Everyone who has bleached blonde hair needs to try the Kerastasé Resistance hair mask in the light blue packaging! As someone with bleached silver hair, it has completely changed the life of my hair! That and the olaplex #3 pre-shampoo treatment are the best combo ever!! I recently also started using the olaplex bonding oil and I can already see a difference using it almost every day for a few weeks!
I just watched a more current video that you made and you said you cannot train your hair by washing less 🤔 Could you tell us what made you change your stance on this? Thanks!
A round of applause for our girl Abbey! 👏 👏 👏 thank you for your fabulous tips and the care you take in research 😀 my favourite tip from this wss the filter for the girls with hard water and blind hair! Game changer
Such a helpful video! Olaplex saved my hair situation for sure. And I am loving it so much that I am even afraid to try anything else. I use Olaplex and Redken.
I tried these products for the first time I was able to order all of the products except the Opalex due to it being sold out AND OMG SERIOUSLY the pureoloy shampoo and conditioner are amazing! I noticed a difference on my hair on the first use! I am definitely a believer in this recommendation 🥰♥️ thank you all this incredible information! Xoxo
I wish it worked for me. My hair feels dry when I use it & it makes my scalp greasy. I don't dye my hair though & I only diffuse it on low heat until it's half dry.
A shower filter and Malibu C Hard Water Wellness packets made a huge difference for me. My hair is curly, but my curls were almost non-existent over time and they had no shine or body. The culprit was mineral buildup over a long period of time. Now, they're springy and shiny.
You forgot the most important thing: eat well balanced meals, full of protein & drink lots of water. You can sell all these brands but without a good diet you wont go anywhere.
I eat trashy foods and I started using all of the brands and doing everything abbey has recommended and my hair feels and looks amazing and it’s only been a couple weeks. I don’t think diet matters that much tbh lol.
@@maciegillum10 lol! enjoy! Of course to be successful social media influencer you have to recruit a few followers who even doubt science over what the influencer hustles for on social media. Enjoy!!
@@maitreyimandal8910 does it not occur to you that science is a big part of the ingredients that are put into these hair products to make your hair healthier? Eating healthy isn’t just the magic solution to solve every problem. You can eat healthy and still have bad hair. My mom is very healthy and she has dead hair because she doesn’t treat it right. Good try tho. I will continue to enjoy my soft silky hair!
I’m here to break things off you are both right and wrong… first girl is right, if you don’t eat well your hair won’t get as much nutrients as it needs, it will not grow any slower because of that, what happens is because there’s not many nutrients to fill the hair it will go slightly thinner, no big deal if you don’t have bleached or relaxed hair, but if you do it will became more prone to damage, especially if there is any other hair thinning factors involved like age hormones smoking product buildup or even a slow blood flow, the second girl is also right, a well balanced diet matters A LOT, however that is not so true when you are “young”, after your mid 30’s it becomes an essential step, ofc genes matter a lot, it’s all a matter or try and error, that said, a well balanced diet never hurt no one, it makes wonders actually, not just for the hair but also for your eyes, skin, liver, gut, nails and everything we care for, and using products to enhance the health we already have, let it be in the hair or any other body part always is better than using products to fake having health…
Unite Weekender clarifying shampoo is awesome! I love it. I only wash once a week and I use the weekender followed by Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. Also Olaplex #3 hair mask is AMAZING, I use it as an overnight hair mask every other week before I wash. I’m interested in trying the ordinary oils for the weeks I don’t use the Olaplex mask.
@@janataylor8351 Hi! I don't wake up with lines on my face from creases in my pillowcase when I sleep on my side. If I sleep with my hair down, it doesn't seem as "wild" in the morning.
Thank you for this video. Would love to see a hair mask review video. Include ALL you’ve tried and how you used it (alone or mixed with oil/over night?)
The last 2 times I've had my hair bleached. I've noticed an extreme amount of dryness and some breakage. What products should I use to make it better? Help!!!
One of the things that helped me since I can’t stand sleeping with my hair down, I’ve been putting my hair in a bun and clipping a small claw clip in it when I am not leaving the house. And if I am just running errands, I use a larger claw clip.
I do this too but I noticed the clips add a lot of weight to my hair... So I bought these creaseless hair bands on Amazon And it feels like I'm wearing nothing. Totally helps to grow the hair.
Yes, I do the same thing, but at bedtime I twist my hair loosely & put it up fairly high with a claw clip, and just sleep with it like that. In the morning (or whenever) I just take it down, gently brush through my hair, & I swear it looks like I've just had it styled- I love this trick because I don't have to do ANYTHING damaging to my hair! Happy growing!😊
Hi! I just ordered the olaplex 3 and the two ordinary oils you recommended in the video. Should I use them all together overnight before I wash my hair or should I switch every other week doing olaplex 3 one week and the ordinary oils the next?
You just pretty much answered my questions🙄 Thanks for the extra tips on water filters and hair towels. Never thought of things like that- beautiful hair!😉
Just an FYI- satin is a weave structure, silk is the actual material something is made out of, as in silk worms. Silk can be woven into a satin weave structure. Polyester can also be woven into a satin weave structure. I personally prefer natural fabrics such as silk to synthetic fabrics such as polyester, which is basically plastic fabric.
Not sure if I missed you mention this or not, what about cutting/trimming your hair? How often do you get your hair trimmed and did you need to cut it in order to begin the process of creating stronger and healthier hair??
I ruined my hair with bleach and dye. I went from butt length hair to shoulder length that wouldn’t grow. The thing that saved my hair was drowning my hair in Argan oil then putting it up in protective styles. Three years later and my hair is so freaking soft and back to my tail bone 💕 it’s a miracle oil. But real argan oil
I have been washing my hair every other since I am a teenager, and I feel like it is impossible to "transition" to every 3 days. I really tried a few times in my life, but unless I drench my hair in damaging dry shampoo, it doesnt work. I can't stand dry shampoo so I will give up on "training" my hair and I will continue to wash it.
Thank you for the helpful video! Ordered the Pureology you recommend & cant wait to use it. You mention dry shampoo... what’s your go-to??? How often do you use it? Thank you!
I would love an updated week-long maintenance video as I am scared to leave my hair for a week without washing it as the ends get so dry and brittle (I have bleached hair too)
Hi! i’ve seen your videos regarding marula oil use from the ordinary and i’ve incorporated it into my hair routine after i apply heat. Is it safe to use on damp hair prior to heat styling? Or would that be damaging. love your videos! the skin care ones have helped me so much!
Did you have a salon do it or did you do it yourself? I destroyed my hair with bleach two days ago and now I’m trying to decide whether or not to tone and order Olaplex from Amazon to tone it. I’ve heard Olaplex from Amazon is diluted or a scam. Thoughts?
@@firstjohn3three the salon used it , mixed it in the bleach, then used the second step , I would get the Olaplex # 3 from a salon and use it before doing anything else, I love Amazon but dont trust buying certain things from them, I personally would not get the Olaplex there.
I use a bamboo comb and ordered the brush pro u mentioned. I also get tangles but I barely ever brush my fine, thin, low density, porous hair. Thanks for helping me figure that out.
If you have dandruff don’t cut back on washing your hair. I learned this the hard way. (I’m a hair stylist.) I wash my hair two to three times a week on average.
Olaplex only works if you use it with the number 0 and number 3. The shampoo and conditioner is made to maintain the bond of the hair shaft that those two products create. Using those products alone is pretty much like using regular shampoo and conditioner. That’s maybe why people are saying it’s a scam.
Hi, wonderful video! But what do you think about silicones? In Purology and Olaplex there are silicons inside- not very good for your hair because they dry it out from the inside only making it look nicely from the outside.
I’m soooo happy I found your channel! I cannot express how much your videos have helped me with both skincare and now hair growth! 💕 and you’re make up is always so beautiful
I found out that amino acids are amazing for our hair. I found Queen bean shampoo and hair butter, stuck with it for a few months and now my hair is looking a bazillion times better
Fun fact! L’Oréal everpure has the same formula as the pureology shampoos and is way cheaper! It just has different scents and a few other ingredients in the specialty types! I highly recommend trying it out since L’Oréal owns pureology and they are all made in the same factories, my brother actually worked there and made the shampoo so we got the inside scoop lol
Raechel oh wow, cool. I know I tried one salon brand by L’Oréal but it didn’t do good for my hair. But if there’s a version that is as good as pureology then take my money!
Not to be that person, But silk is a fiber and satin is a type of fabric with a specific weave structure that can be made from different fibers such as silk or poly. Most satin you buy is mostly likely poly because silk satin is much pricier but it feels like butter. And p.s. I have slept with satin pillowcase sense I was 3, I have had a lifelong love affair with satin.
but for real can we be friends in real life? hahaha I swear we are the same person. your podcasts about macros and how you don't do that anymore and such is ME. k done sorry thanks bye I probably sound so creepy now lol
I would love to hear more about how you got your into a routine of not beeing washed that often. Also, what would you recommend for hair gel, mousse, or spray to keep your hair more manageable? I seem to suffer with a lot of frizz.
The best thing ever is when a woman knows how to take care of herself. She didn't have to spend hundreds of dollars to make herself feel beautiful. Beautify can be done at home. I especially love the simplicity well nurturing look. 💖
For years I avoided Olaplex bc the cost scared me and I’ve always believed in more natural haircare. But ever since I’ve used bleach nothing has helped me maintain and/or grow my hair like Olaplex has. It’s a game changer.
I love it too!
Please share the link for genuine olaplex
@@rpu6955 you can get it at Sephora

Oh,thank you!😊

A few things that actually helped to control my hairfall include: (1) I discontinued wearing ponytails because it leds to tension breakage. (2) I began massaging my scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while leaning forward & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to safeguard my hair from pollution. (4) Using soft shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.
I have actually seen positive changes in both shine and hair fall control thanks to liittlllextra cooconnion oil. The water here is hard and it’s important to nourish hair and scalp with the right ingredients. This oil does just that. I’m eager to try their newly launched reeactivate hair serum.
I know this is an old video, but for anyone else who watches this 18 months later and wonders:
Satin is a weave style while silk is a fiber. So you can have satin in a bunch of different materials (i.e. silk blends, polyester, nylon, etc). I think since silk is a natural material it is more absorbent than some synthetic materials, so satin fabrics made with those synthetic materials will be less absorbent than satin made with silk. I don't know that it's enough to make a noticeable difference since silk already is much less absorbent than something like cotton (silk is moisture-wicking and temperature regulating). I find silk to be more breathable than satin made with synthetic material. Silk is also hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. Satin made with synthetic material is often much cheaper than silk and you don't have to worry about getting synthetic material satin falsely advertised as silk. Silk also crinkles and wrinkles easier than synthetic material satin, so there are definitely pros and cons for both.
I use a silk pillowcase and a synthetic material satin bonnet (BUT, if it's not double lined, make sure you wear it inside out if you go satin. Satin will have a shiny side and a dull side, it's the shiny side you want touching your hair but they always make synthetic material satin with the dull side on the inside for aesthetics). I toss and turn so much at night that I also wear my hair in a loose braid (secured with a silk scrunchie) and then tucked up in my bonnet Often times my bonnet falls off at night from my movements, and if my hair is just loose in the bonnet it will become so knotted the times my bonnet falls off.
I live in Scotland and all our water comes from the mountain run off (obv treated and filtered through). The water is so natural and clean, no chemicals, and my hair literally flows like silk after washing it!! When I stay over night in the city and use the water there, I instantly recognised the difference. Hair feels more like straw after cleaning on hard water. Ew.
WOW I’m so jealous that sounds incredible 😭 and yep... you described my exact problem 😂
I actually grew my hair long and donated 18 inches of it to a company that makes wigs for children with cancer. She is absolutely right. Not shampooing your hair really does help increase the length of your hair. But because I am a hijabi (muslim woman who covers her hair for modesty), it was easier for me to train my hair since nobody sees my hair outside. But for the women who dont cover their hair can wear a wig while training their hair. I hope the tip helps.
Wow!!! That's so incredible. So amazing of you ❤️
@@AbbeyYung thank you :)
Good tip, there are also many hairstyles for hiding greasy hair. How many days would you go without washing your hair??
@@Ladycon8 after like detoxifying my hair for like years, my hair now stays fresh even after like 5 days. But I do rinse my hair whenever I feel like hot but I just don't shampoo until like the 5th or 6th day .
Thank u so much Abby I am subscribed now and look forward to watching all your videos!!!!!❤❤
brushing your hair when it’s greasy at the root is the best! You spread those natural oils down to the ends of your hair when you brush from root to tip!!
So true!!
Also important to use a super grabby bristle brush like boar bristle and works even better if u hit the area with a little low heat to loosen it up, think about the difference between room temp solid pastey coconut oil and when it warm and turns to liquid.
@@potatopirate5557
Great idea, that makes sense!
Yes and use a boar bristle brush x
Don’t use heat. Massage the scalp to produce heat and stimulate blood circulation then use genuine boar bristle brush to distribute scalp oils
I’ve watched several videos related to hair care and growing your hair after its been damaged. This is by far the most informative one I’ve seen. Thank you
Thank you for bringing up the fact that silk is more absorbent than satin! A lot of people seem to think silk is better because it's more expensive. All it does is absorb oils and moisturizing products from our skin and hair. I love my satin pillowcase.
Satin is a type of weave, not an actual fiber (like silk or cotton for example). As a former fiber artist, I know that you can weave any fiber into a satin (loosely spun silk makes the best satin in my opinion)
@BobbyM I'm so happy for you.
Massaging the scalp increases blood flow to the hair follicles which provides nutrients and stimulates growth that is more healthy.
When I was in treatment for throat cancer. I stopped brushing my hair Bc I was loosing it (chemo) so I started putting in a loose bun. It helped me keep most my hair. I lost all the bottom but it’s grown back. Vitamins helps too.
I just wanna say I hope you’re doing better and I’m glad you managed to save your hair!
Yes, please do a hair training video with tips on how to extend your hair between washes off besides just dry shampoo! I’m currently in the process of working on that and I’m one that has extremely oily skin and never thought I could go a day without washing. I used to be oily by the end of the day when washing it first thing in the morning and now I’m good going every two or three days! Quarantine has been the perfect time to train hair 💕
Yesss I used to be the same way! It took so much patience. I can’t believe I’m at once a week now- I would’ve never believed it!
I use suave shampoo and conditioner, the one with rose oil infusion. I can go up to a week without washing my hair!
Hey girl! This is one of the best videos I've seen!
I'm 63, not ready to give up my waist length blonde hair and swimming anytime soon.
...my waist length thin ends and mids just keeps breaking off. ...This particular video has really helped me sort out what to do!
I love the microfiber towel and wet brush pro suggestion.
...also, I was set on buying olaplex , and you gave me an affordable option with Pureology.
I'm going to mix and match.
...Oh yea! and the satin pillow is a must! so much has improved by that alone in the past 1 year I've used one.
... I've also found great success with the ordinary argaline, matryxl and caffeine drops along with their retinoid drops have made me at least 40 again!
...even had a couple guys in their 20s ask me out LOL yes!
Merry Christmas 2022!
I'm definitely one of those people who feel like it would be impossible to not wash my hair daily, so hearing your story makes me feel encouraged to try at least going every other day. I toss and turn in my sleep and get huge knots in my hair so I always feel like I have to keep it much shorter, I tried wearing hair ties at first, and it made my scalp go numb so maybe scrunchies won't do that. Thanks so much for this video! It was extremely helpful. :)
Tip from when I went to dermatologist for the problem with the oily hair: wash your hair for 2 weeks straight with only water everyday, massage your scalp gently and then dry it and massage your scalp with a towel (dont use a normal towel cause its very damaging, use a soft towel or even paper towels), the massaging will absorb all the sebuum and oils. During this 2 weeks dont use nothing on your hair other than water (and the towels ofc). My hair was getting greasy really quick and after this treatment it completely changed and i could wash my hair once a week without problems
This is the best tip!
i know im randomly asking but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Bjorn Elian it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Hayden Brett You are welcome :)
I won’t be able to brush my hair without conditioner 😂
I grew my hair from collarbone length to past my elbows. It took a long time, but I cut out using heat appliances on my hair and stopped going to the salon. My guy got me a wide tooth comb, and I use that to comb out my hair after a shower, I don’t use a brush on my wet hair as that causes breakage. I use the same type of towel as you, I have a yellow and aqua color one. The other thing that helped keep my hair in good shape was my guy gave me micro trims every ten weeks. He did the full sectioning and let my hair down in 1/2” increments to trim each layer to remove split/damaged ends to reduce breakage. The amount that he took off was barely noticeable. He was fully supportive of my long hair journey, unlike the scissor happy stylists that just want to cut. A friend of mine who is a hairdresser stopped over to visit when I was getting my ends trimmed and watched intently. She commented that he wasn’t taking off very much and that my hair is so thick that it needs to be thinned out. I was very happy that it was my guy doing my hair and not my friend the hairdresser. My guy would never use a razor or thinning shears on my hair. Here is how he does my trims. m.czcams.com/video/7ixwCfku3fY/video.html
I use olive and argan oils on my hair and I wear my hair in different braids. I have my hubby give me French, Dutch, fishtail, side, wraparound, three and four strand braids. I get compliments on my hair in the different braids and people ask how I do them. So it does take time and effort to grow long, beautiful hair, but I am definitely a long haired lady and I have no plans to ever cut my hair off, and If I ever did, my guy would talk me down from it rather than grab the shears and cut it all off.
When he was giving me a trim the first time, I told him that I had wanted to grow my hair long but it wouldn’t. I had wanted to grow it to my knees, but when it got to wear I was beginning to sit on it, I told him to cut it to my elbows. He did as I asked, and when I saw how much was coming off, I got upset, but it was exactly what I asked for. Women can decide for themselves that they want long hair, and usually it is other women that are jealous of it, and try to use the excuse that you only have long hair because of your husband.
I absolutely love your videos. You not only recommend products, you also explain functionality and benefits instead of just stating you use this, this and this. I have been bleaching my hair for a year and straightening it for 7 years so you can imagine how damaged it is. When I had brown natural hair it was extremely long but damaged however now I bleach it, it doesn’t grow past my shoulders. Definitely going to follow your routine!!
GIRL. next time you get the orange/yellow damage to your hair from hardwater, use the crystal clarifying treatment packettes from Ion. LITERALLY the only product that's every removed it from my hair. I destroyed my hair with bleach, and it was still no match for the hard water. I used four packets, and left them on for half an hour, and it removed 90% of the orange buildup.
Team Water Damaged ( which leads to hairfall, dryness, reduce the quality of hair)
1. I use filtered water
2. Fermentation of rice water for 36 hours
3. Use it as a rinse after washing my hair with shampoo or water.
4. Rinsing my hair with rice water has made a drastic change.
Dry rice? Like do you soak dry rice in water?
@@jadenaomixx yes
Doesn't it dry out hair?
@@dr.m6152 if you rinse your hair with rice water right after your headwash ( wet hair), it will not make your hair dry or rough.
Okk makes sense 😊
I am 61 and from the South. So, I went to Charm School (yes, yes I did - I still have the book!). We were taught to lather twice, so that is what I have always done. I have never washed my hair everyday. For many years, I washed every couple of days, and for the past decade or more, I've been washing once a week. Sometimes I will wash twice a week, usually in the summer when it's very hot. Second day hair are always my best hair days! I also do a weekly hair mask. Sunday is my self care day and I will put it on early in the day, put on a shower cap, and wrap it in a warm towel. At a minimum I leave on for 30 minutes, but I try to leave it on for several hours. I make my own masks, mixing different oils depending on what my hair needs. Recently, I started doing a monthly scalp scrub. It has made a huge difference in the overall health of my scalp and hair. Lastly, as part of my nightly routine, I give myself a 5 minute scalp massage. I somethings use hair growth serums, but mostly it's just a "dry" massage.
What oils do you like. Could you share some recipes
@@reneesoli5345 I don't have recipes, per se. My hair is straight and fine. My base oil is jojoba, which adds hydration and is moisturizing, and hemp, which conditions the hair. If my hair is feeling dry I'll add argan, amla, avocado. If I need shine I add baobab. For hair growth black castor and amla. I love this stuff and love making my own concoctions. 😁
@@jda58tex thank you. I have jojoba oil,argan oil and grapeseed oil.
Wgat combination would you use? What oil would be the base and the others next and least?
Thank you for your help and knowledge.
@@reneesoli5345 grapeseed oil is a great conditioner. I don't know your hair type and I'm not any kind of expert, but I would start with equal parts of each oil. See how that goes. Then adjust the next time. You'll get to know which oils your hair likes and how much it can take. I start by taking it on my fingertips and massaging into my scalp, then bringing it down to the ends.
@@jda58tex oh wow! I was thinking of applying to my ends of my hair. Do you like to put a little on the scalp to help with finger glide while massaging the scalp.
Interesting. I massage my scalp daily would you use oil daily?
My hair is mostly silver the dark is in the back of my head at the bottom layer quickly disappearing. I have thick hair with an S curle. Without a heating tool my hair would be frizzy.
I dyed my hair extremely light for my wedding back in October & I have been trying to get it stronger & healthier on top of attempting to get some length. My mother-in-law trims it for me , not as often as I’d like but I’m going to have her for it every 4-6 weeks. My natural color/growth is about mid way down my hair. The length is to my bra strap, so I’m hoping these tips will help with my hair 😅😅
As a hair dresser I can promise you if one persons hair grows healthy it’s not necessarily the products they are using! If your hormone levels and genetics are different than that persons than your experience will not be the same! Biotin and coconut oil on damaged ends! And make sure you are having blood work done to check ur hormone levels! You do not want to use drug store products mainly bc they can be tampered with and some have ingredients that you don’t want in your hair hence the reason they didn’t make it to a professional level...when it comes to shampoo and conditioner I do love pureology and so do all my clients but results may not be the same for everyone
Brilliant comment. I think hormones play a bigger part than products. As a 44 year old long healthy haired woman, I’m so scared my hair will start to thin, and shorten the anagen cycle. Which hormones were you referring to? (Estrogen?) I want to find out.
Thank you!
I’ve been listening to a podcast that has a cosmetic chemist on and he says that drug store products are just fine. Lots of the drug store brands also produce the professional brands. They even go through more testing for customer satisfaction and use many of the same ingredients and are produced in the same factory. He also mentioned that hair stylists push the professional brands because theyre told what to think by the sales people of the salon brands- Not actually what’s going on from an evidenced based or cellular level.
Shampooing twice is the BEST!! Couldn’t imagine washing any other way!!!
I’ve also heard that you should do your hair mask THEN condition to lock in the moisture!! Just an idea 😘
Madison Ward i do that xx
I don't know if it's still done but all shampoo bottle directions used to say, "Shampoo, rinse, and shampoo again." So there ya go! Lol!
@@jillyannlovesjack1933 to get you to use more.
Came across your channel today and I must say that your videos are lifesavers!
I've been dealing with hear breakage and hair fall for the past few months and your tips are something that I will follow.
Also, the way you deliver your videos is just amazing! Such an angel yay! Thank you for all the tips and tricks! Your videos are my go-to going forward!
Thank you for all these great tips...I’ve always admired your beautiful hair! This is kinda random, but I think it would be super fun to see a video of you giving a “home tour” and show your home decor (plus where you’ve gotten some of your favorite things) and of course your beauty product setup. Also...I miss your monthly favorites videos! ❤️
Of course so happy to help! I will think about it 😊 I feel like I don’t have any new faves right now but when I have enough for a video I will make one!
I love that you shampoo twice and only once a week. I do that too! That has been my routine for a couple years now. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I used to do that, although I would saturate my hair root to tip in coconut oil, and leave it all in for a week. At night I would wrap my hair up in a silk scarf, putting it up, wrapped around all of my hair. I know, that is gross, but it worked for me, especially since I was single at the time, and no body had to see my stringy, greasy coconut oil covered hair, lol! You don't have to do this, but it REALLY made my hair healthier, and a million times shinier after I washed all the oil out--I would shampoo my hair twice like her as well. Maybe you could find a similar trick as me, but one that would not leave your hair stringy and greasy like mine was from the coconut oil--maybe just using a deep conditioner that you can spray on the hair, like she says, doing that daily or every other day. Anyway, that's my spiel. Hope this helos. :)
I'll add to the hard water situation because I have well water myself. I did not know there was a product to help with mineral buildup. I discovered ION's Hard Water Shampoo and Conditioner at Sally's Beauty Supply. I have used them twice so far and I can feel an immediate difference in my hair after each wash. My hair no longer felt weighed down and gross. My hair was softer and shinier. My scalp has never felt this clean before. I highly recommend this product!
I’m on the same boat as you. I went from brown to blonde and experienced so much breakage!! Everything you said in this video are things that I have been doing for a while now and I have one suggestion. Get yourself a satin haircap to sleep in at night time! I used to do buns with scrunchies and I would still have to brush my hair in the morning because it tangled. With the hair cap, I brush my hair before I put it on and wake up and it feels EXACTLY the same, no tangles at all!! Really changed the game and it’s super comfortable. Also a great hair mask with all natural ingredients is Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque w/ Sea Kelp and Argan Oil
Ohhhhh very interested in that... love this tip!
Yesssss Dr Dray does the silk cap too !!! Im so going to get one.
Dr Dray also recommended to use Neutragena TSal shampoo for build up... Its fragrance free and contains salicylic acid which is good for your scalp which is still just skin. I love it and it works great for me. I colour my hair too and so far it hasn't made me brassy either. 👌👌👌
Straight guy here who loves quality hair 😋 I don’t click with men they’d use a 6 in one shampoo that they could wash their car with if they could!
What I’ve learned is to never wash your hair period. Throw your shampoo in the garbage! I wash my hair every 2 weeks! I soak my hair in coconut oil for 30 minutes, expose to sun for better results.
Thoroughly rinse it with COLD water. Pat dry never use a blow dryer, when your hair is somewhat still damp take a really good maintenance conditioner. I alternate between redKen and bio silk hydration. I mix half & half with coconut oil. Scrunch it in and cold wash again.
Let it naturally dry on its own! Don’t use a tow at all, just pat dry if you have too. Never use a hair dyer either. Throughout the week I use a natural dry shampoo.
Good luck.
My fiancé made me buy a set of two when I repurchased satin pillow cases so he could have one too 😂
Omg amazing hahaha
😂 just don’t be mad if his hair gets longer than yours 🤣
My husband loves ours
He has to get his face right for the wedding lol
I purchased the Pureology Strength Building brand after watching this video months ago. I love it. It’s the best stuff I’ve ever used. On a side note: A warning about Loreal’s 8 second “Wonder Water”. It worked beautifully the first time I used it, but shortly thereafter caused extreme brittleness, leading to hair breakage. Apparently, many people have experienced the same devastating result.
_There are_ *different oils* _that can help promote hair growth and thickness;_
_These include_ *castor oil, jojoba oil, and olive oil.*
Just talked my man into ordering one of those water softeners...he heard your video playing tho so he didn't argue 😂
You're so pretty, thanx woman!
😂😂😂😂 I love it. aw thank you ♥️
I can’t wait to watch this-so glad you are doing hair videos that involve scalp issues & hair loss and shampoos that might help.
😊♥️
My stylist said clogging the scalp with oils can cause permanent loss of hair regrowth.
I’ve stopped using my argan oil daily on my scalp due to fear 😳
Shampooing twice is amazing, I also use an exfoliating mask before my washes and I just ordered a hard water filter today!
Yessss!!
Cowashing helped me get an extra day out of my hair, so I could wash it every other day instead of every day. But my seborrheic dermatitis hates it! However, "training" my hair with shampoo has really not worked and only makes my hair greasy the day after washing it, despite years of effort.
Try t sal neutrogena shampoo for the dermatitis
@@Ashley212131 already have, it doesn't work
Love how in depth you are to every ingredient and benefit to everything. Love your olaplex No0 & No3 video, just started using those products and No4 & 5 last week:)
Can I just say, that after you were talking about your blonde hair and having to maintain it, I wondered how amazing you would look with darker hair! Ever tried going darker? I totally think you could pull it off.
The thing is everyone hair is soooo different..I have only washed my hair once a week for yrs because I'm lazy and it never grows..the more I wash the more growth I get..everyone is soo different.
I’ve literally been doing all of this for two years and have seen no difference in my hair. I feel so discouraged because I have invested so much time and money into trying to have long strong hair. I will always have thin fine hair that doesn’t grow very long. So much of hair is just genetics.
How’s your hair now,
My hair is thin, fine, low density and porous BUT it is long and will grow. Hang in there. May I suggest organic vitamins and grass fed collagen? I eat as much grass fed dairy and food as I can. I am experiencing some fall out but Im 56 years old but my colored hair is beyond my shoulders. Im committed for the rest of 2021 to Pureology, Redken and Olaplex. Good luck my friend!!
@@CC-iv7uj I appreciate the advice, Carla! I have tried collagen but I do not believe it is organic grass fed. I am going to look into that and the organic vitamins. Thank you for taking the time to reply :)
@@robitai525b i dont want you to give up. I have just started using OLAPLEX shampoo and conditioner #3 and #4 like 3 weeks ago. I also use 6 and 7 after. I have very recently used #zero 0 and #3 treatment and since then have washed my hair once and noticed less fall out. Coincidence, maybe. It is absolutely possible but I sense some improvement. Hang in there!! Yes grass fed and organic make a difference. Non GMO stuff too. The fats are so much better for you. Alicia Silverstone vitamins are by far the BEST! I believe its Garden of Life over 50 Womens that I take one a day of. Try grass fed dairy. Very affordable at Aldi and now Costco Kirkland brand has 90% geass fed butter for $9.99 excellent price for 4 blocks. I watch a YT channel with a guy named Bobby Flav City. He is amazing at educating us and finding the best deals on HIGH quality food. FlavCity. Do u have a Costco membership? If so thats where they sell the collagen and butter but I have seen the collagen all over, at Target also. Its BLUE packaging. I will get the name for you.
One tip to have less damaged hair is to literally never put it back or up, no hair ties, scrunchies, nothing. The only time you would have to is to wash your face, and I use a headband, and just stuff the hair under it. I know it is weird, and takes some getting used to, but I notice a clear difference in my hair now that I don't put it back. I know you will want to put your hair up for exercising, but don't. Again, that will be weird at first, but you get used to it after a while. Also, only brush your hair from bottom to top, by starting with the tangles closest to the bottom of your hair, slowly working your way to the top. These are my cheap to free tricks. I am really poor, so I can't afford to buy all the things that she has for her hair in this video, so I am going to try to find a cheaper alternative--like drug store alternative version to this video. I won't be making a video about it, but can get back to you on what I find, and the results that I get, if you like. All the best, and good luck with your hair endeavors! :)
Coconut miracle oil it’s the best!
Left it on over night .
Then washed it in the morning. My hair has to look so good for a long time .
I have blonde, fine, thin hair
Sip thankful for these tips! After 1 year of being in our new home with hard water, my hair is in terrible condition. So broken, so thin, etc... Can't wait to try some of your suggestions. I have curly hair though, so going to have to do a couple things differently.
i recommended to try curly girl method
Maybe get a shower water filter? Best wishes!
Just had to say a BIG thank you - I did the double shampoo tip and OMG SUCH a difference already!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Hi Abbey! I love your videos about hair care and hair products. They are the best on CZcams. Keep ‘em coming! Thank you for all of the recommendations and advice!
I finally started shampooing twice and it’s absolutely great…my hair feels lighter, fluffier and bouncier and my scalp is no longer itchy, or getting the little bumps on it that I was getting. Also, I always rinse at the end with water mixed with apple cider vinegar and it keeps my hair so soft and frizz free, love it! My hair is just collar bone length but I do have highlights so I have to treat it very gently. Moroccanoil smoothing lotion is my holy grail. I’m using Pacificas Pineapple Curls shampoo and conditioner and I really don’t even need to deep condition all the time like I used to but Amika makes great masks as do the Macadamia line. Fantastic. I sleep on a satin pillowcase and use a turbie twist to dry after washing. I’m hoping to finally get my hair down to my breasts and I really think I’ll get there eventually…finally!
It is actually very beneficial to put oil directly on your scalp. You can do it on your wash day.
Hair training video. Yes, please!!! It's been almost six months since I started and I still have to go only every other day!
Just bought that filter! I am experiencing brassy color and dryness we have hard water never thought of this! Thank you so much!! Blessings to your channel!!
I hope it works well for you! ♥️
I have been using the crisan oil for a few months and it’s the best .Put it all over your hair and brush it and put it in a bun.It makes incredible shine,takes off frizz,and makes it grow.It has 55 amazing oils so use it ,you will thank me for it.Tip:use a lot and use it overnight or 1 hour .I normally use it in 2 hours .Tell me your expirience!!
Everyone who has bleached blonde hair needs to try the Kerastasé Resistance hair mask in the light blue packaging! As someone with bleached silver hair, it has completely changed the life of my hair! That and the olaplex #3 pre-shampoo treatment are the best combo ever!! I recently also started using the olaplex bonding oil and I can already see a difference using it almost every day for a few weeks!
Ohhh I’m intrigued!
I just watched a more current video that you made and you said you cannot train your hair by washing less 🤔
Could you tell us what made you change your stance on this?
Thanks!
I've binged like all your videos and I'm obsessed, you're hair looks amazing and I'm dying to try your tips!!!!
A round of applause for our girl Abbey! 👏 👏 👏 thank you for your fabulous tips and the care you take in research 😀 my favourite tip from this wss the filter for the girls with hard water and blind hair! Game changer
I would absolutely love advice on how to keep hair healthy whilst working out a lot!
Watching your videos on skincare and now hair. I appreciate your content very much! You’re great!
Thats the first thing I noticed, your makeup! Looks amazing 🤩
Such a helpful video! Olaplex saved my hair situation for sure. And I am loving it so much that I am even afraid to try anything else. I use Olaplex and Redken.
Hi Nina, I don't bleach my hair anymore, would you still recommend Olaplex? 😊
OMG, this was a fabulous video Abbey. I'm gonna share it with my daughter ASAP! Thanks for all the great info. Take care dearest.
Thank you for this video! Your hair is gorgeous, all your hard work paid off 👏
I tried these products for the first time I was able to order all of the products except the Opalex due to it being sold out AND OMG SERIOUSLY the pureoloy shampoo and conditioner are amazing! I noticed a difference on my hair on the first use! I am definitely a believer in this recommendation 🥰♥️ thank you all this incredible information! Xoxo
I wish it worked for me. My hair feels dry when I use it & it makes my scalp greasy. I don't dye my hair though & I only diffuse it on low heat until it's half dry.
Yes to dedicating a video on how to maintain your hair if you work out everyday! :)
Yes affordable hair care tips! I just bought the satin pillow cases! Bye bye pillow crease lines on my face!
🥰🥰
Oh my gosh, you video was so helpful, AND it was not boring, I was able to sit through the whole thing! So nice and helpful! Thank you!
A shower filter and Malibu C Hard Water Wellness packets made a huge difference for me. My hair is curly, but my curls were almost non-existent over time and they had no shine or body. The culprit was mineral buildup over a long period of time. Now, they're springy and shiny.
Wowww amazing! 😍
You forgot the most important thing: eat well balanced meals, full of protein & drink lots of water. You can sell all these brands but without a good diet you wont go anywhere.
I eat trashy foods and I started using all of the brands and doing everything abbey has recommended and my hair feels and looks amazing and it’s only been a couple weeks. I don’t think diet matters that much tbh lol.
@@maciegillum10 lol! enjoy! Of course to be successful social media influencer you have to recruit a few followers who even doubt science over what the influencer hustles for on social media. Enjoy!!
Science over everything.
@@maitreyimandal8910 does it not occur to you that science is a big part of the ingredients that are put into these hair products to make your hair healthier? Eating healthy isn’t just the magic solution to solve every problem. You can eat healthy and still have bad hair. My mom is very healthy and she has dead hair because she doesn’t treat it right. Good try tho. I will continue to enjoy my soft silky hair!
I’m here to break things off you are both right and wrong… first girl is right, if you don’t eat well your hair won’t get as much nutrients as it needs, it will not grow any slower because of that, what happens is because there’s not many nutrients to fill the hair it will go slightly thinner, no big deal if you don’t have bleached or relaxed hair, but if you do it will became more prone to damage, especially if there is any other hair thinning factors involved like age hormones smoking product buildup or even a slow blood flow, the second girl is also right, a well balanced diet matters A LOT, however that is not so true when you are “young”, after your mid 30’s it becomes an essential step, ofc genes matter a lot, it’s all a matter or try and error, that said, a well balanced diet never hurt no one, it makes wonders actually, not just for the hair but also for your eyes, skin, liver, gut, nails and everything we care for, and using products to enhance the health we already have, let it be in the hair or any other body part always is better than using products to fake having health…
Unite Weekender clarifying shampoo is awesome! I love it. I only wash once a week and I use the weekender followed by Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. Also Olaplex #3 hair mask is AMAZING, I use it as an overnight hair mask every other week before I wash. I’m interested in trying the ordinary oils for the weeks I don’t use the Olaplex mask.
I love Olaplex #3 too! Total game changer! I do a 24 hour in a shower cap (covered with a silk scarf or touk if I have to go outside). 🌱
I love Pureology too! I just recently got a satin pillowcase and I agree - it is a game changer!
Which kind of changes did you see since using it? 🤗
@@janataylor8351 Hi! I don't wake up with lines on my face from creases in my pillowcase when I sleep on my side. If I sleep with my hair down, it doesn't seem as "wild" in the morning.
@@saraeclipse Thank you 😊
Thank you for this video. Would love to see a hair mask review video. Include ALL you’ve tried and how you used it (alone or mixed with oil/over night?)
Yes I need to start testing out more hair masks!!
The last 2 times I've had my hair bleached. I've noticed an extreme amount of dryness and some breakage. What products should I use to make it better? Help!!!
One of the things that helped me since I can’t stand sleeping with my hair down, I’ve been putting my hair in a bun and clipping a small claw clip in it when I am not leaving the house.
And if I am just running errands, I use a larger claw clip.
I use jaw clips 24/7! The best!
I do this too but I noticed the clips add a lot of weight to my hair... So I bought these creaseless hair bands on Amazon And it feels like I'm wearing nothing. Totally helps to grow the hair.
Yes, I do the same thing, but at bedtime I twist my hair loosely & put it up fairly high with a claw clip, and just sleep with it like that. In the morning (or whenever) I just take it down, gently brush through my hair, & I swear it looks like I've just had it styled- I love this trick because I don't have to do ANYTHING damaging to my hair! Happy growing!😊
@@rslily
Ooooh, great tip thanks!😊
"Look at all of these pink scrunchies!" (big ooglie eyes)
😂😂😂
Whats your favorite dry shampoos?
And i would love to see a hair training video and your favorite hair masks 💛
Coming soon 😊
Hi! I just ordered the olaplex 3 and the two ordinary oils you recommended in the video. Should I use them all together overnight before I wash my hair or should I switch every other week doing olaplex 3 one week and the ordinary oils the next?
You just pretty much answered my questions🙄 Thanks for the extra tips on water filters and hair towels. Never thought of things like that- beautiful hair!😉
Of course! Happy to help
Oh my gosh I didn't even get far into your video but oh my goodness you are GORGEOUS!
thank you so much 💓💓
Just an FYI- satin is a weave structure, silk is the actual material something is made out of, as in silk worms. Silk can be woven into a satin weave structure. Polyester can also be woven into a satin weave structure. I personally prefer natural fabrics such as silk to synthetic fabrics such as polyester, which is basically plastic fabric.
She is very nice for putting the time stamps for people
Not sure if I missed you mention this or not, what about cutting/trimming your hair? How often do you get your hair trimmed and did you need to cut it in order to begin the process of creating stronger and healthier hair??
I ruined my hair with bleach and dye. I went from butt length hair to shoulder length that wouldn’t grow. The thing that saved my hair was drowning my hair in Argan oil then putting it up in protective styles. Three years later and my hair is so freaking soft and back to my tail bone 💕 it’s a miracle oil. But real argan oil
Which brand of argan oil do you use?
I've been waiting for this video, your hair is amazing.
I have been washing my hair every other since I am a teenager, and I feel like it is impossible to "transition" to every 3 days. I really tried a few times in my life, but unless I drench my hair in damaging dry shampoo, it doesnt work. I can't stand dry shampoo so I will give up on "training" my hair and I will continue to wash it.
Love to see a review on hair masks. I just found your site& I am loving your videos bc of your honesty& in depth info.
Thank you for the helpful video! Ordered the Pureology you recommend & cant wait to use it. You mention dry shampoo... what’s your go-to??? How often do you use it? Thank you!
I use dry shampoo 2-3x a week! I will be doing a video reviewing a bunch soon 😊 currently no go to’s!
I would love an updated week-long maintenance video as I am scared to leave my hair for a week without washing it as the ends get so dry and brittle (I have bleached hair too)
Hi! i’ve seen your videos regarding marula oil use from the ordinary and i’ve incorporated it into my hair routine after i apply heat. Is it safe to use on damp hair prior to heat styling? Or would that be damaging. love your videos! the skin care ones have helped me so much!
Olaplex took me from dark brown hair to getting platinum highlights , no damage, in fact hair was shinier after bleaching ! It is the real deal
Amazing!!
Did you have a salon do it or did you do it yourself? I destroyed my hair with bleach two days ago and now I’m trying to decide whether or not to tone and order Olaplex from Amazon to tone it. I’ve heard Olaplex from Amazon is diluted or a scam. Thoughts?
@@firstjohn3three the salon used it , mixed it in the bleach, then used the second step , I would get the Olaplex # 3 from a salon and use it before doing anything else, I love Amazon but dont trust buying certain things from them, I personally would not get the Olaplex there.
From where to buy
I use a bamboo comb and ordered the brush pro u mentioned. I also get tangles but I barely ever brush my fine, thin, low density, porous hair. Thanks for helping me figure that out.
If you have dandruff don’t cut back on washing your hair. I learned this the hard way. (I’m a hair stylist.) I wash my hair two to three times a week on average.
Olaplex only works if you use it with the number 0 and number 3. The shampoo and conditioner is made to maintain the bond of the hair shaft that those two products create. Using those products alone is pretty much like using regular shampoo and conditioner. That’s maybe why people are saying it’s a scam.
Hi, wonderful video! But what do you think about silicones? In Purology and Olaplex there are silicons inside- not very good for your hair because they dry it out from the inside only making it look nicely from the outside.
girl you are so beautiful !! personality and all
I’m soooo happy I found your channel! I cannot express how much your videos have helped me with both skincare and now hair growth! 💕 and you’re make up is always so beautiful
Pink team!!! 💖
Ps. I love you videos. No BS, based on science, and you’re funny. Kudos! ✨
I found out that amino acids are amazing for our hair. I found Queen bean shampoo and hair butter, stuck with it for a few months and now my hair is looking a bazillion times better
Yep, pureology has been a game changer for me. Without it I couldn’t do it.
It’s sooo good!
Fun fact! L’Oréal everpure has the same formula as the pureology shampoos and is way cheaper! It just has different scents and a few other ingredients in the specialty types! I highly recommend trying it out since L’Oréal owns pureology and they are all made in the same factories, my brother actually worked there and made the shampoo so we got the inside scoop lol
Raechel oh wow, cool. I know I tried one salon brand by L’Oréal but it didn’t do good for my hair. But if there’s a version that is as good as pureology then take my money!
Definitely going to try the satin pillow case idea:)
Great video, thanks for all these tips!! I'll have to try some 😃
Not to be that person, But silk is a fiber and satin is a type of fabric with a specific weave structure that can be made from different fibers such as silk or poly. Most satin you buy is mostly likely poly because silk satin is much pricier but it feels like butter.
And p.s. I have slept with satin pillowcase sense I was 3, I have had a lifelong love affair with satin.
just binged watched literally ALL your videos and im a huuuuuge fan. Thanks for sharing! love your videos... they're so inspiring!!!
but for real can we be friends in real life? hahaha I swear we are the same person. your podcasts about macros and how you don't do that anymore and such is ME. k done sorry thanks bye I probably sound so creepy now lol
Hahahah duh!! ♥️ this was the sweetest thank you so much 😊
I would love to hear more about how you got your into a routine of not beeing washed that often. Also, what would you recommend for hair gel, mousse, or spray to keep your hair more manageable? I seem to suffer with a lot of frizz.
I will definitely do more hair videos! I don’t have frizz problems because my hair is pretty flat so I don’t use gels & mousses!
The best thing ever is when a woman knows how to take care of herself. She didn't have to spend hundreds of dollars to make herself feel beautiful. Beautify can be done at home. I especially love the simplicity well nurturing look. 💖
