  • @LoverIsaDayy
    @LoverIsaDayy Před rokem +1460

    Imma save your time folks:
    1) Wetting hair daily - when the hair is wet, it will swell, having the hair swell and return to regular size frequently will damage over time. Wash hair w shampoo twice per week.
    2)Washing incorrectly
    - gently scrub scalp with shampoo
    - wring out your hair so it’s not as soaked
    - condition on hair shaft (not the roots)
    - let condition set for 5 mins, wash rest of body
    - rinse it out
    3) Drying your hair incorrectly
    - air drying is more damaging according to how it’s swollen for long periods to dry
    - instead pat your hair down w a towel and blow dry on low heat with 6 inches away
    4) UV damage
    - use olive oil as sunscreen for your hair
    5) Using wrong shampoo
    - Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is bad for your hair. Read ingredients. 👍

      ​@@TravWhiteStyle Hey Trav. Do you happen to know what causes a lot of men AND women to have slightly weaker hair on top of their heads than sides? Often the hair on the sides is even in women slightly thicker and shinier than on top. It is also visible in (dark) blonde or brown haired men (or women), where the sides are quite often slightly bit darker than the top (which very slightly gives it a coup de solei) . Also, right in the area of the crown and the hairline, the hairs are often thinner, lighter and dryer too. Have you spotted this same thing?
      I have this going on with my hair. Hair on top is finer in texture and does not retain any water and never looks wet. The hair on the side does retain water and look wet. The hair top looks kind of shit in quality without product (frizzly/dry). The texture of my hair is wavy (smaller curls on top - obviously since the hair is more fine too). I noticed that my hair started to look more like this after/around puberty and worsened from age 13-16 or so. When I was a kid (like age 3) I had very straight hair at all. I would be very interested to know which hormones cause this increase in curls and why this differecne between sides and top. It would be great if you could respond to this or make a video about the subejct

    It’s surprising how many men with long hair have so little knowledge on how to take care of your it. I think it’s because as kids we stick to gender stereotypes so much that our parents either never let us grow our hair out or even if they do, they just neglect to tell us how to take care of it. Because only girls apparently need to know how to care for their hair.

    I don't have especially long hair, but this is incredibly useful info. A solid answer for how long I should leave conditioner in and proper drying technique is absolutely something I've been looking for. I try to limit shampooing to twice a week just because I've seen better results from doing so, but even with that and combing 2-3 times a day to distribute oils from the scalp, I find my hair isn't as healthy-looking as I'd like by the time my next wash day comes around. The one thing I don't do for sure is the drying techniques, so I'm going to give that a try and see how it goes!

    Hey tip for going sulfate free! You would want to avoid silicones (if you look up silicones found in hair products you could probably find long lists) because silicones require sulfates to properly remove them from hair and without using a sulfate to dissolve the silicone you could be left with buildup on your hair and scalp (which no one wants)

      Depends on the person actually, not everyone produces oil from the scalps in the same ratio. Which is why some people have rough hair and some have smooth hair without doing anything.
      Think of it like different kind of soils, some soil can be used to grow crops and some are just infertile. The advice from the dermatologist is correct but it is not a generic advice.
