I can hardly recognise my hair these days after taking Chris’ advice on products, order of use, heat protectant, styling. Never thought I’d see my hair in luscious waves like this. 🥰
Hi Chris! I love your advice. Here's the thing, my hair may look great on the day I let it dry naturally and use a curling iron quickly (of course after spraying in leave in conditioner, etc.) I often have night sweats. By morning, my hair is generally frizzy and most parts, especially the bangs that I'm growing out, are going in different directions! And I'm wondering if my hair follicles are getting thinner due to the night sweats? Thoughts? Thank you! Sandra
Same, Breege! I thought I had a decent routine before but using Chris’ routine/recommended products my hair is next level healthy! I can now easily go 7-10 days without washes and it still looks great and better than my day 4/5 hair before. For the first time in my life I am liking my hair. To me what’s made the biggest difference: the Pureology leave-in conditioner and 3-day breaks after heat styles. I have one more step which is to oil/ massage my scalp+hair on the night before wash days. With Chris’ routine this step has become unnecessary but I still enjoy it.
@@CupcakeGrogan Hi Kimberly, please ignore this if you meant to ask Breege ☺️. As suggested in Chris’ videos, I use Redken’s cleansing cream for my first wash and the Volume Injection Shampoo + Conditioner for the second wash. After towel drying, I apply Pureology’s Color Fanatic Leave-in Conditioner + Drybar’s Hot Toddy (will switch to Redken’s big blowout one once I run out), a tiny drop of Moroccan hair oil to seal the ends and brush everything through. Then I blow dry using the Revlon blow dry brush. Finally, a tiny bit of Moroccan hair oil to tame flyaways, if needed. Hope this helps 💙
So refreshing to hear a hairstylist say that we dont need to trim our hair frequently for healthy hair, specially if we are trying to grow long hair! Love the advice and the video
Yea I grew my hair out from buzzed to about armpit length in about 2.3 years, no hair trims necessary in that time. Nowadays, I just trim to refresh my layers as needed.
Yup! You only really need one big chop if you had neglected it before. No amount of olaplex will glue split ends back together. However, if you get rid of them and then after that you take preventive measures such as hairmasks and protective oils you really only need a trim once or twice a year or so. Or you can do it more often but cut off super tiny amounts, I personally do it every 3-4 months but cut off like 1 cm / half and inch
Chris, it would be good to hear a curly hair routine. I need multiple products - e.g., leave in, curl cream, gel and oil … so it’s hard to keep it light. Also, with curly hair if I straighten with heat protectant it makes it feel so dry and brittle !
For curly hair, try doing everything on wet hair and adding more water instead of product! And when you add water, spend a few seconds really squishing it in well. Also try mousse instead of gel and using a silicone serum instead of natural oils. Maybe jojoba oil because it's the lightest natural oil. For a leave in, use a liquid one like Infusium 23!
I love this channel for my eldest daughter and myself, who have straight and wavy hair, but my daughter with tight ringlets, Manes by Mell has been the best help.
@@Urbandale89 thank you. I used to watch her but I feel like she’s constantly using/ pushing a new product every video. I really like Chris’s format where he uses a few products but makes sure they work.
@E A i would just use chris's product recommendations, with small changes like a curl cream instead of blowdry cream, but mells application methods. Just use the "fine hair" products since they are lighter weight. .... for hold just use whatever your hair likes, gel or mousse or foam.
More advice for frizzy hair would be great. I'm following the tips and my hair loads good when styled but within 10 minutes I end up with a halo of frizz around my head 😢
I have ribcage-length hair. I used to go to a stylist who would always lecture me about how I had to come in for a trim every month even if I didn’t seem to need it or my hair would end up damaged and I would have to cut it really short. Really condescendingly too, “I’m going to tell you something you’re not going to want to hear…”. Anyway, I never did what she said and 20 years later, my hair is still the same length. I think she was just trying to make more money off of me.
My hairstylist is a gem. After covid lock downds ended my hair had gone from shoulder length to bra strap length. I told him I wanted to grow it to my waist because I’d never had it that long. I go in every eight weeks or do and he literally takes a millimeter or two off. It gives me that sharp just cut edge but doesn’t undo all the growth.
Really depends on your hair texture, about monthly cuts. By the looks from your profile pic you look like you have super thick hair and thick hair density. So every month to me personally as a hairdresser would seem way to frequent.
I left my hair naked for years and I seriously didn't realize how much using a leave in conditioner and oil after that has drastically improved my bleached/ highlighted hair looks and feels. It's never been this healthy. Along with doing daily scalp massages, wearing loose hair styles (have to pull it up for work so i use a claw clip or the "phone cord" hair ties), and not straightening my hair as much as I was. He's right....I used to straighten my hair without a heat protectant, and I would need to touch it up. Now, using the heat protectant, my hair stays straight for at least 3 days and can go at least 4-5 days without washing orusing dry shampoo. I've also added a silk bonnet to my routine, which also protected my style and hair in general ❤❤❤ you Chris!!!! And your new shampoo and conditioner!!!!
Where have you been all my life?! The amount of time, nerves and money spent+lost over the past 2 decades are madness. Finally, my hair is healthy and for the first time I am actually liking it 😊. Thank you so so so much! Hope you and your family are safe 💙
Chris, I have very fine coloured hair, which is regularly exposed to the sun. It’s was breaking off all the time and I’ve never been able to grow it past my shoulders. Since you explained about leave-in conditioner and putting oils on the ends my hairs condition has changed beyond all recognition. Plus a weekly treatment of Opaplex 3, It’s so much stronger, it looks healthy. You are the best and thanks for the advice 👍🏻
@@grubchenmu9956 i use native jojoba oil and i think it works fine on my ends but i think he usually recommends olaplex 7 and the moroccanoil hairoil i believe
Yup! Hes telling the truth! I have been doing all of these things! My hair is to my mid back after doing blowouts every 2 weeks and wrapping my hair with a silk cap and washing my hair once a week (i have 4c hair) I use a leave in conditioner, spray on heat protectant and a heat protectant serum. Every 3 days I use the olaplex bonding oil on my ends and my hair is in love. ☺️
Wooow an actual hairstylist not pushing trims… it’s about time!!! Chris’ channel is my new favorite, I just discovered him and am so happy he is refreshing!!
I’ve been spending years trying to learn everything I can about hair care to improve my fine, easily oily, dry, and frizzy hair. Since finding your videos, I feel confident that your techniques and product recommendations will help me achieve the hair I’ve been wanting for years. I really appreciate your expertise. I finally feel hopeful and excited for the next steps on my healthy hair journey ❤
I can so relate to spending years to learn about hair care. But he said : all the 18 yolds out there saying,"ahh i dont need to put any product in my hair" trust me you need it and it slowly fades. While my 10 yold self would have had related to atleast the basic hair care stuff i.e, right pro shampoo,leave-in conditioner and oil being used like a serum. Hes talking about even if i didn't heat style my hair because i have struggled with damaged hair even without using heat since that young age simply because i didn't know the techniques hes talking about till age 24..and i d jump at trying most of the things hes talking about at any age when i started to want less frizzy hair. so just because people are young doesnt mean their hair needs any less maintenance,unless they have a rare genetic lottery where they have invincible hair that doesn't get damaged no matter what (and imo even ppl born with good hair can damage their hair with long/even short term mistakes), tho i understand that ageing may need more care but still, most of us need it regardless of age. But this is one of the rare channels out of all the amalgamation of diy and other hair care channels that i relate to on a personal level. And first one that can give such accurate and large amount of information on different hair care topics without diys alone and without me having to search for other similar TH-cam channels.
@@kizryuverwhen we are young, our hair is fuller, & grows faster a lot more then when we get older. But yes everyone should protect their hair as best they could & don't overdo styling it.
I got my box of products almost 2 weeks now. I spoke with THE MOST HIGH about my hair situation. I lost so much hair and I just wanted my thickness and length back. Then one morning LLL came up on my YT feed. I looked at it and immediately agreed with everything Chris was saying. So, I found out my hair type and ordered the products. My 1st wash was amazing. I wasn’t putting clumps of hair on the shower wall so I don’t clog the drain. My hair was pretty dirty, so I washed the scalp a few times and my hair felt amazing already hydrated before the conditioner. Followed the next 3 steps, conditioner, leave in and oil. I’m amazed! Hardly any hair came out in my hands or comb. After 2 weeks and 3 wash routines waiting about 4 days to wash. My curls don’t tangle at the ends, my hair is super easy to comb through and remains soft and not brittle until next wash day and I’m not losing any hair. Thank You THE MOST HIGH for Live Love Locks and Chris!
Dear Chris, I am from the UK, and since watching your videos, I have followed every bit of advice you have given. I even go back to watch a few again. Your advice has saved my hair. I have started your healthy care routine, and I cant tell you how amazing my hair is looking ! Since I have bought the Purelogy leave in conditioner, my hair is looking so much healthier. Ibought the purple bottle Purelogy range ( Hydration) I also bought the Redken blow out, that too has changed my hair so much. In the Uk we only have the Redken 11 hotsets, and not brought out the Redken 22 as yet. The oil has saved my ends. I cant find the Berlin Dry Shampoo in the UK. Would you be looking at online shopping from your salon for UK people ? I felt I really wanted to drop in to say thank you. ! Your videos are the first I have watched, that actually are worth watching. I am so pleased to see my hair growing, getting thicker and healthier Take care, Mary from London xxxx
My favorite dry shampoo is the “Not your mothers dry shampoo”. That is actually the name of it. So if you can’t get Chris’s recommended products and you have fine oily hair, it works really well. I have this type of hair so for any other hair types I have no advice.
I LOVE his viewpoint on trims!!! I'm actually a stylist who prefers not to give cuts when the shape is still good!!! And when length is preferred, I've always avoided suggesting trims, I've always felt it was counter intuitive, but my industry/colleagues and even clients oftentimes disagree...🤷🏻♀️..actually pay off why I quit being a stylist f/t. Bravo on this vid 👏🏻❤ @blowoutprofessor
So having Native American blood in my family, we never put hair products on out hair and it was always shined and healthy. As I got older and started incorporating product I noticed my hair become more unmanageable on days that I went without product. I stopped using hair products again and it’s taken a few months but my hair is back to healthy and shiny. I don’t believe the “naked” hair rule is truly important one considering many cultures do not put man made products on their hair or body and they seem to be the ones sporting the most healthy hair and skin
This guy is AMAZING. I never thought I'd binge watch hair videos! I'm absolutely going to use these tips. Apart from trimming and cheap shampoos, I'm guilty of everything else on the list. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
It is extremely refreshing to be told that frequent trimming is not required for healthy hair. My heart breaks every time I trim my hair because it is never a trim. I used to do it every 6 weeks and now haven't for over a year. My hair is naturally curly and hides damage in the curls.... or because of my job is hidden in a bun. To be honest even with as long as it's been since my last trim my hair is healthier and shinier than is has been in 10 years.
I've been working on emphasising my wavy hair, but combining WGM (modified curly girl method) with Chris's advice has been an absolute game changer. I've never loved my hair more.
I'm following your advice, when I get my next paycheck I'm going to purchase a Redken shampoo, Olaplex no3, a leave-in conditioner, and some Castor oil. I've also booked a salon appointment to get a trim and bleach my roots. I've calculated that it's going to cost me a little over 200€, but I'm willing to make the investment! No other channel has such informative and amazing videos on hair, I'm already a big fan 😊
Been noticing my hair is so horrible all of a sudden so I’m going to try some of this tips cause I can see already where I was doing some damage 😮 thank you for an amazing video
Yup. The more I consistently used Olaplex to repair damage the less frizz I had, which was what was making me feel like I had to do touch ups with heat. So there was less damage for the Olaplex treatments to have to repair, thus less frizz after my hair is styled. I also stopped dying my hair which ended a lot of damage I’d been causing that way too. So now I’m at a place that I can do once a week or even once every two week Olaplex treatments for repairing heat damage and get the same results I’d been getting when I started using it, which was 2-3 times a week. Washing and styling my hair once a week, and only needing to do a heat styling touch up by day 3 or 4. Otherwise I just add the tiniest bit of oil to offer added shine and only when I feel I need it and but not enough to feel heavy/dirty or weigh my hair down. With getting my hair to this healthy state, no longer dying my hair to hid my grays/whites and only trimming when my ends appear frayed, my hair is now 3 1/2” away from being waist length!
I follow everything he says I’m obsessed with his advice it simply works my hair OSS incredible since I found him.Chris where have you been all of my life
I was one of those arrogant people that came out the shower and left it naked right into my 30s. I was lucky to have great genes and my hair grew and stayed silky with minimal effort. But in the last few years, I’ve lost volume and texture. The holy trinity has helped turn it around and my hair feels/looks like it’s returning to it’s former glory but it actually growing faster!
Hey professor, thank you for all the videos. Especially as a man its so difficult to understand even the basics of hair care. You really make it all easy, thank you for that. Just a request, can you do one video on thinning hair?
68 yo, silver/platinum hair (not colored) way below waist length. Hair dressers get a bit upset when I say, no trim please, just a blowdry (only once in awhile). Us older gals can rock long hair with good care like this Professor mentioned. Thank you for these generous tips.
Your cadence is very pleasant, I'm not sure why. At first I thought it was an accent but it's just how comfortable you seem in front of the camera I guess. Thanks for all the tips!
I just chopped all my hair off into a pixie because bleach and heat damage. Ive hated my hair most of my life… i have decided not to use too much or too high heat anymore since I already color it. If your hair gets messed up just put it up back or headband/ bun
I'd love to see a video about how to go more days between washing! I absolutely have to wash my hair every day. It gets so oily and my cowlicks are gnarly
Can you recommend safe styles for busy moms with lots of hair? Air drying and ponytails or buns are regular things but I don’t want to always hide my hair
Thank you so much!! Your advice on managing my damaged hair has changed my life. After 4 years of struggling to grow my damaged hair it is now in recovery and thriving just after I found you on youtube. Its not perfect and thats ok because it is a process. I am so grateful for your advice!!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the videos, they are so informative. Can you please do a series on Afro hair? I have chemically relaxed fine Afro hair and finding reliable and knowledgeable information and product choices is extremely hard. For example you talk about oils in the hair but our hair finds it extremely difficult to transport natural oils from the scalp down the length of the hair so some people can go as long as 2 weeks to a month to wash their hair
Hi babes, when it comes to relaxed afro hair, check out hairlicious on TH-cam, shes a relaxed girl and has a lot of information on how to care and grow relaxed hair. Cheers ❤
I am chemically relaxed as well and find his information very useful and easier than a lot of the relaxer specific channels. My natural texture is coarse and thick but it’s relaxed to a medium texture. When my hair is growing out I use his tips for coarse hair texture to incorporate more moisture into the new growth that is drier and this works very well. My hair sheds very little and it looks and feel very healthy. I think Chris focuses more on texture of the hair. Your relaxed hair may no longer be coarse. Mine is not. It’s medium. So I follow those guidelines until about 8 weeks when I have a lot of coarse new growth. Hope this is helpful.
Started following his advice. I have fine but thick hair. I bought the redken extreme shampoo and redken volume conditioner ( my store out of the volume shampoo, plus I believe it has isopropyl alcohol and I tried to avoid that ingredient. I find my hair does better without it). So I washed, sprayed in my leave in ( not the pureology one) , air dried some then quickly went over with hairdryer, just a little rough dry---no styling (🥺😧....don't tell Chris) then finished with a little of the oloplex oil. 3 days later I was admiring the softness and shine in my 52 yr old let it go gray , no more coloring hair! Softness and shine after only ONE time of doing this 😁
I'm a nurse so I have to either braid or put my hair in a bun every day. A three day old braid or bun will not look good, so this advice doesn't make sense to me. But I've taken the advice and bought the Redken products for my hair type and I'm not having to wash every day anymore. So thanks for that.
So happy I found your channel. Thank you for emphasizing infrequent trimming. I sacrificed my length, but once I starting saying "no" to trims I was so much happier with my hair. Best to you from Canada.
I watched your "how to fix oily scalp and dry hair forever" and I wanna thank you sooooo much 💜💜 It's literally the first time in my lifetime that I'm having the healthy, non frizzy , stlyed hair that is not getting any damage
After the shower I like to use Not Your Mothers leave-in conditioner or a tiny bit of coconut oil( melted in between my hands), then add jojoba oil on the very ends. I have tailbone length hair and care for it the best way I can. The winter time is a bit challenging but I do let my hair air dry, then finger detangle before I take my brush and go from the ends to the roots. I love my hair and hair in general. My mother was a home beautician. It's what she had love for and taught me so much. I do appreciate other stylist to come on here and share the knowledge they've gained to tell the truth about hair. My mother always said "Your hair already knows what it wants to do. Let it work with you and for you, not against you."
Hi Chris, I’ve been colouring my hair for over 20 years using salon products, but was never able to get the same results like my after salon visits. I did exactly as you said about the routine for great hair WHOA… my hair is so soft & light feeling I absolutely love it. Thank you thank you so much 😊
I’m 60 yrs old with a ton of health issues & due to those issues my hair is dry & frizzy. I’m a natural redhead it use to be auburn. I can’t afford expensive hair care due to all the darn Dr. bills. I just recently came across your TH-cam channel & I enjoy learning new things from you. I have started washing and conditioning my hair the way you say to do even though I’m used Dove hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford the opalex (sp) as you suggested to me to use. Thank you for your informational videos. Cindy Sue
I am 56 years old and had badly damaged hair from blow drying, straightening, and hair extensions..... For six months, I have trained my hair into ringlets by letting it air dry and using the correct product..... I also swear by scalp massage and pumpkin seed oil on your scalp for balding spots..... The most important thing is the proper diet!! Stop eating processed food, gluten, and sugar,.... Instead, eat a high protein diet with lots of veggies, berries, nuts, avocados, organic eggs, salmon, and watch your hair grow and glow...... My issue is that society insists that to be professional, a women must have the "perfect blow-out" preferably blonde...... For the curly hair girls like me, this will literally cause your hair to start to fall out in clumps especially as you age..... We need to nourish our curls and rock the ringlet look!!
I went from a bald man to a beautiful blond bombshell. Seriously I regrew my hair, it’s now platinum me beautiful. It took two years and a lot of patience.
The thing about trims is so true if you're trying to get long hair. My hair is to my tailbone and it's also very thin so it's always been prone to breakage and split ends, the way I got it this long is by hydrating the ends, wearing protective styles, and only trimming 1-2 times a year!!!
I'm kinda glad that you mentioned the hair trimming thing. I've always heard from stylists and different media saying to get it trimmed every two weeks. That never made sense to me when it came to growing out your hair. I mean I get it if your hair grows super fast anyways and you're trying to maintain a short hairstyle, but for us in the long hair crowd it never made sense to me. I really only trim it when I notice that I'm starting to get a bunch of split ends every 6 months to a year and that has always worked out well for me. My enemy has been and continues to be your standard call center issued headset because of the type of work I do for a living, hair ties, and my husband rolling over in his sleep because he often gets his arm wrapped up in my hair if I'm not careful about it.
My daughter is 7 and I think she has the best haircare routine of any 7 year old lmao! we always use Leave in conditioner, heat protectant cream and the olaplaex hair oil every time we wash.
That’s fantastic you are already teaching her how to take care of her hair the right way! My 10 year old wants to grow her hair really, really long! We are also glad to have found this channel because she is now learning the proper way to grow her beautiful hair to be long and healthy and won’t have to unlearn the bad habits I grew up with! It’s even helping my own hair recover from stress-loss and years of bad habits!
Your tips has changed my hair!! I started my new haircare routine after watching your videos a few weeks ago and already I see a huge difference 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I took the leap and bought your recomended products and memorised the routine. The price is a little painful, but not awful. We'll see how well they 'll work on my hair 😁
My hair was very healthy naked with wash & wear (straight hair). I decided to have a change in style (layers, waves), so now using some product & using heat only 1-2x per week, only washing when really needs it.
No more naked hair lol. I want to tell you another time why I haven't used certain stuff. Thanks! Just got a few bottles of this, on sale. pureology leave in. 50 % off today at sephora
Hi Chris, after watching your videos i decided to purchase your leave in conditioner and I have noticed such a big improvement in my hair. My hair is so much softer now and smooth and I use heat protection to. Thanks Chris
I have learned so much for Chris but was pleasantly surprised when he went over the products for each type of hair that for my coarse hai, I’ve been using all the right products.
Chris, I love your advice and living in France it is driving me crazy because I can’t seem to find “leave in conditioner” . Would you please do a whole video on different brands of leave in conditioner and if possible include some we can find in Europe? So many thanks for your help ❤
Found your channel today. THANK YOU for all your guidance and I've subbed. Impressed that you don't "push" the most expensive or name brand stuff, just what works, lasts and is reasonable. I'll be going through to see what you advise for a 67 yr/old with VERY thinning hair and underlying medical issues like lupus. 😪
Thoughts on silk and/or satin pillow cases? Worth the price tag or industry shenanigans? I’ve binge watched videos on your channel today and am excited to start a healthy hair routine, thank you :)
Except for frequent washing and oiling my scalp before shower, I already knew how to brush and follow the product steps. Unfortunately due to working out consective days in a row which I have to and contact with the ground, its very difficult not to wash hair. I dont use the products tho. Its too expensive. All that being said, grew my hair to my shoulders from a 1/4 inch in one year with no haircut.
Once a week shampoo, conditioner and leave in apply a heat protection and sit under the dryer for 15 minutes. That’s the only heat I use. Thank you Chris.
I love Chris as a stylist. He talks really fast so I have to write fast exactly what he is saying. I have natural curly silky hair. I just bought olaplex package and can't wait to try it. Thanks Chris for all your knowledge.
Thank you for freely sharing your advice! After I would get my hair trimmed the ends would always feel great, but in the next few days they would be thin and with split ends again. Thank you again for sharing these tips!
VIDEO REQUEST: Hello can you pls do a video on showing us the morning routine - wake up, hair is dry and frizzy - no time for a full blow dry on fully wet hair, can't we just spray it with a spray bottle to get some moisture, but then what do we use? heat protectant or just the blow dry cream or the leave in conditioner? i bought the leave in you recommended, hair better instantly. thank u !
I used to have amazing long hair and I was using a leave in oil from Dove back then years ago (never realised). Which is now discontinued I found out. Since, I’ve been using all these “new” products coming out, trying everything and nothing has worked! My hair has been shoulder length for about 3-4 years now. So since watching your videos, I’ve gone back to using oil after showering this last week, plus leave in conditioner. And wow, my hair is looking amazing already!! 😊😊
Why do you need a thermal spray when you’ve already used a thermal cream? The Redken blow out cream protects up to 450 degrees so isn’t that enough for blow drying and flat ironing? I hate to load up my my hair on products.
professional products cost more than I can afford....on another note the drugstore stuff has never left my hair feeling dirty/oily ect and i have had better results with them than professional stuff when i have the rare chance to try them....something my old hairstylists always told me and i do agree 100% with it....."everyone's hair is different just like their skin and taste in fashion/food....so what works for 1 person might not work for another so always take things with a grain of salt."
Hi professor, I have medium, very curly and frizzy hair. Unfortunately because of that I straight it with the flat iron almost everyday... and with the winter coming (sometimes even the summer morning breeze ,while going to work, is enough to do this 🤦🏽♀️), it's a bit of a boredom, because of the humidity in the air, I have to always walk with hats and scarfs covering my hair. I can never feel pretty, because I'm more concerned of not letting my hair look like a clown wig 🤡 So would like to know if you could tell us how to keep the hair more time straight and behaved?
That's my question. I have curly and frizzy hair that I straighten. I don't have an issue growing it, but I do have a hard time keeping the face-framing hair from breaking off. If I don't touch it up, it looks crazy and gets out of control.
Chris you are amazing. I’m sure I couldn’t afford you but I’m sooo happy that you created this channel. So grateful for your help and honesty. Have a wonderful day
can you do a hair style video for flat heads? Also, for really humans environments? And for people who work out a lot-how do we maintain curls for 3/4days even after working out. Your videos are the best!
Thanks for all your videos. I have now added all the products. I am now only washing 2 times a week and that good for my fine thin hair that really looks better when washed daily or every other day. I get trims every 8-12 weeks because my hair looks much better short because it's so thin and fine and trying to get the damage part gone. Would love more content on thin hair.
Hey man, could you do a vid for people with short hair? I kinda follow your tips, but then I realise 'oil for the ends' and 'leave-in for the mids' etc are really for people with long hair that's been worked over. So I was wondering if you have tips for men and women with shorter hair, if leave-ins are worth the cost - if bond builders are a waste of time for virgin hair etc? Just asking anyway. Love your vids man.
Chris my son is 16 he has Afro hair what shampoo conditioner we use Crème of Nature (Argan Oil from Morocco)where’s as my daughter 12 has thick straight hair
My question is how do you properly use conditioner and where do you use it at to use it on your whole hand I bleach my hair so I do am I doing this wrong
Wow, just when I think you have said about all that can be said about haircare you drop another truth bomb on us. I love that statement-"your hair like your skin, is compared to a baby that cannot take care of itself and needs help". Thank you for these tutorials on hair care and maintenance into your senior years. (Hint)
New to the channel and excited to try all of the suggestions! I am 100% guilty of restyling flyaways in the morning and I’m stoked to learn if it’s possible to do without touch ups for 3 days. Sleep and shower immediately cause my baby hair to take on new life every day :)
Hello I want to give you a great compliment because you are a real professional man and you win also with your voice the trust from us, you tube watchers but, YOU TALK MUCH TO QUICK, i must run after your words.When you explane it easier it would very very much pleasure
I've read that wrapping your hair in a hair towel/turban on your head after washing it isn't good for your hair, but I always wash my hair then my body when I shower, so I need something to keep my hair out of my body wash. Should I use a claw clip or a shower cap instead, then dry my hair when I get out of the shower?
The shampoo one is true. I have olaplex shampoo and I wash my hair 1-2 times a week. I have below shoulder length, and I've had my bottle months! And I only use a 10p size amount and it's so creamy. Really goes a long way
I followed these steps. Use leave in conditioner and hair looks great the day I wash the hair but next day it's back with frizz and dead looking hair. I have curly hair
Mine is straight and used to do this. I use a hair mask in place of a regular conditioner in the shower, and then leave in conditioner when I get out. Also put moroccanoil treatment oil on the ends when hair is dry most days. That seems to have sorted it. Hope this helps you
Hi, thanks for the video. What is the source for the three day rule? It sounds arbitrary. Additionally, the notion of “drugstore shampoo” versus “professional shampoo” has no merit from a chemistry standpoint. It’s all the same basic composition. The only true distinction is that “professional shampoos” spend more money on fragrance and ingredients that do not influence the essential chemical composition of the detergent. The “vitamins” and “precious oils” are instantly absorbed by the detergent because the detergent perceives them as “dirt.” The reason you pay more for “professional shampoo” is because the brand that outsources the production incurs more cost from unique-smelling fragrance and “exotic” pointless gimmicks. They in turn build that into the cost. If you genuinely want people to have healthy hair, then you should advise that first, above all else, genetics govern your mane. Next, lifestyle and diet have some, but not much, influence over your hair. I know - products are fun and I love them too. But it seems this advice is being motivated by the same drivers behind the “industrial haircare complex:” money. There really is no difference in the opinions you present as fact versus Pantene’s marketing tactics. They both intend to gain consumer trust with the intent of getting loyalty which means more views/purchases and profit.
I would push back and say lifestyle could have huge effects. Amount and intensity of sun exposure or artificial tanning, tap water quality, nutritional deficiencies or eating disorders, pregnancy or major surgery, birth control, and more can have huge effects.
@@personmcdudeguy Oh absolutely! The point being that there aren’t any ingredients in “professional shampoo” or “drugstore shampoo” that will ultimately make a difference in whether or not you have “healthy hair.”
@@ThatsTheWayItGoes Yeah. I think of it like a bell curve. For a given product, most people would rate it as average, some on the left tail would call it awful and some on the right tail would say it's perfect. I think genetics doesn't limit people as much as they think, especially if their hair is shorter than tailbone length. I hear the genetics comment a lot from people trying to buuld muscle, but watch them work out and they clearly arent working hard enough. But technique matters a lot. Ripping through hair with the comb, not prepooing or oiling, not shampooing properly, just not being gentle in general.
You are so right. I decided to let my grey and curly flag fly and despite not blow drying or flat ironing my hair for over 4 years it still gets frizzy and dry as the days between washes march on. I've used professional styling products and look for bad chemicals in my shampoo, but you really don't have to buy pro shampoo. I've never found a brand that made a bit of difference in my natural hair.
@@personmcdudeguy You are not wrong with the curve example: it’s just unrelated to my point about the chemistry of detergents. Yes, people have preferences for the products they use, which, like most things in life, have the predictability of a Bell-distribution.
Thankyou for your videos. I have wavy, frizzy hair that I would air dry with heavy products , then need to wash every 2 days because of too much product. Now know where I’m going wrong. Please can you do a video on how to manage naturally wavy or curly hair without blow drying straight?
I can hardly recognise my hair these days after taking Chris’ advice on products, order of use, heat protectant, styling. Never thought I’d see my hair in luscious waves like this. 🥰
Hi Chris! I love your advice. Here's the thing, my hair may look great on the day I let it dry naturally and use a curling iron quickly (of course after spraying in leave in conditioner, etc.) I often have night sweats. By morning, my hair is generally frizzy and most parts, especially the bangs that I'm growing out, are going in different directions!
And I'm wondering if my hair follicles are getting thinner due to the night sweats?
Thoughts? Thank you!

Same, Breege! I thought I had a decent routine before but using Chris’ routine/recommended products my hair is next level healthy! I can now easily go 7-10 days without washes and it still looks great and better than my day 4/5 hair before. For the first time in my life I am liking my hair.
To me what’s made the biggest difference: the Pureology leave-in conditioner and 3-day breaks after heat styles. I have one more step which is to oil/ massage my scalp+hair on the night before wash days. With Chris’ routine this step has become unnecessary but I still enjoy it.
May I ask what you use and in what order? Thanks
@@CupcakeGrogan Hi Kimberly, please ignore this if you meant to ask Breege ☺️.
As suggested in Chris’ videos, I use Redken’s cleansing cream for my first wash and the Volume Injection Shampoo + Conditioner for the second wash. After towel drying, I apply Pureology’s Color Fanatic Leave-in Conditioner + Drybar’s Hot Toddy (will switch to Redken’s big blowout one once I run out), a tiny drop of Moroccan hair oil to seal the ends and brush everything through. Then I blow dry using the Revlon blow dry brush. Finally, a tiny bit of Moroccan hair oil to tame flyaways, if needed. Hope this helps 💙
So refreshing to hear a hairstylist say that we dont need to trim our hair frequently for healthy hair, specially if we are trying to grow long hair! Love the advice and the video
I was trimming my hair every three months that is why my length stayed the same. No more trims for me
Yea I grew my hair out from buzzed to about armpit length in about 2.3 years, no hair trims necessary in that time. Nowadays, I just trim to refresh my layers as needed.
Yup! You only really need one big chop if you had neglected it before. No amount of olaplex will glue split ends back together. However, if you get rid of them and then after that you take preventive measures such as hairmasks and protective oils you really only need a trim once or twice a year or so. Or you can do it more often but cut off super tiny amounts, I personally do it every 3-4 months but cut off like 1 cm / half and inch
A trim to get rid of split ends in different from a haircut
You really don’t need to. I haven’t cut my hair in almost 4 years and it’s still thick at the ends and I don’t have split ends
Chris, it would be good to hear a curly hair routine. I need multiple products - e.g., leave in, curl cream, gel and oil … so it’s hard to keep it light. Also, with curly hair if I straighten with heat protectant it makes it feel so dry and brittle !
For curly hair, try doing everything on wet hair and adding more water instead of product! And when you add water, spend a few seconds really squishing it in well. Also try mousse instead of gel and using a silicone serum instead of natural oils. Maybe jojoba oil because it's the lightest natural oil. For a leave in, use a liquid one like Infusium 23!
I love this channel for my eldest daughter and myself, who have straight and wavy hair, but my daughter with tight ringlets, Manes by Mell has been the best help.
@@Urbandale89 thank you. I used to watch her but I feel like she’s constantly using/ pushing a new product every video. I really like Chris’s format where he uses a few products but makes sure they work.
Same
@E A i would just use chris's product recommendations, with small changes like a curl cream instead of blowdry cream, but mells application methods. Just use the "fine hair" products since they are lighter weight. .... for hold just use whatever your hair likes, gel or mousse or foam.
More advice for frizzy hair would be great. I'm following the tips and my hair loads good when styled but within 10 minutes I end up with a halo of frizz around my head 😢
I have ribcage-length hair. I used to go to a stylist who would always lecture me about how I had to come in for a trim every month even if I didn’t seem to need it or my hair would end up damaged and I would have to cut it really short. Really condescendingly too, “I’m going to tell you something you’re not going to want to hear…”. Anyway, I never did what she said and 20 years later, my hair is still the same length. I think she was just trying to make more money off of me.
My hairstylist is a gem. After covid lock downds ended my hair had gone from shoulder length to bra strap length. I told him I wanted to grow it to my waist because I’d never had it that long. I go in every eight weeks or do and he literally takes a millimeter or two off. It gives me that sharp just cut edge but doesn’t undo all the growth.
Really depends on your hair texture, about monthly cuts. By the looks from your profile pic you look like you have super thick hair and thick hair density. So every month to me personally as a hairdresser would seem way to frequent.
I left my hair naked for years and I seriously didn't realize how much using a leave in conditioner and oil after that has drastically improved my bleached/ highlighted hair looks and feels. It's never been this healthy. Along with doing daily scalp massages, wearing loose hair styles (have to pull it up for work so i use a claw clip or the "phone cord" hair ties), and not straightening my hair as much as I was. He's right....I used to straighten my hair without a heat protectant, and I would need to touch it up. Now, using the heat protectant, my hair stays straight for at least 3 days and can go at least 4-5 days without washing orusing dry shampoo. I've also added a silk bonnet to my routine, which also protected my style and hair in general ❤❤❤ you Chris!!!! And your new shampoo and conditioner!!!!
Where have you been all my life?! The amount of time, nerves and money spent+lost over the past 2 decades are madness.
Finally, my hair is healthy and for the first time I am actually liking it 😊.
Thank you so so so much! Hope you and your family are safe 💙
Chris, I have very fine coloured hair, which is regularly exposed to the sun. It’s was breaking off all the time and I’ve never been able to grow it past my shoulders. Since you explained about leave-in conditioner and putting oils on the ends my hairs condition has changed beyond all recognition. Plus a weekly treatment of Opaplex 3, It’s so much stronger, it looks healthy. You are the best and thanks for the advice 👍🏻
Which leave in?:)and oil
@@grubchenmu9956 i use native jojoba oil and i think it works fine on my ends but i think he usually recommends olaplex 7 and the moroccanoil hairoil i believe
@@mvocado thank u:)
Yup! Hes telling the truth! I have been doing all of these things! My hair is to my mid back after doing blowouts every 2 weeks and wrapping my hair with a silk cap and washing my hair once a week (i have 4c hair) I use a leave in conditioner, spray on heat protectant and a heat protectant serum. Every 3 days I use the olaplex bonding oil on my ends and my hair is in love. ☺️
So nice to see someone with type 4 hair getting good results!
Good to know! I'm inspired 🙂
I thought my hair just grew really slow and after I started doing what you said, I see my hair growing. It's so soft and so much healthier
Wooow an actual hairstylist not pushing trims… it’s about time!!! Chris’ channel is my new favorite, I just discovered him and am so happy he is refreshing!!
I’ve been spending years trying to learn everything I can about hair care to improve my fine, easily oily, dry, and frizzy hair. Since finding your videos, I feel confident that your techniques and product recommendations will help me achieve the hair I’ve been wanting for years. I really appreciate your expertise. I finally feel hopeful and excited for the next steps on my healthy hair journey ❤
I can so relate to spending years to learn about hair care.
But he said : all the 18 yolds out there saying,"ahh i dont need to put any product in my hair" trust me you need it and it slowly fades. While my 10 yold self would have had related to atleast the basic hair care stuff i.e, right pro shampoo,leave-in conditioner and oil being used like a serum. Hes talking about even if i didn't heat style my hair because i have struggled with damaged hair even without using heat since that young age simply because i didn't know the techniques hes talking about till age 24..and i d jump at trying most of the things hes talking about at any age when i started to want less frizzy hair.
so just because people are young doesnt mean their hair needs any less maintenance,unless they have a rare genetic lottery where they have invincible hair that doesn't get damaged no matter what (and imo even ppl born with good hair can damage their hair with long/even short term mistakes), tho i understand that ageing may need more care but still, most of us need it regardless of age.
But this is one of the rare channels out of all the amalgamation of diy and other hair care channels that i relate to on a personal level. And first one that can give such accurate and large amount of information on different hair care topics without diys alone and without me having to search for other similar TH-cam channels.
@@kizryuverwhen we are young, our hair is fuller, & grows faster a lot more then when we get older. But yes everyone should protect their hair as best they could & don't overdo styling it.
my hair was already in decent condition from using salon shampoo and conditioner, but these videos have definitely helped take it even further :D
I got my box of products almost 2 weeks now. I spoke with THE MOST HIGH about my hair situation. I lost so much hair and I just wanted my thickness and length back. Then one morning LLL came up on my YT feed. I looked at it and immediately agreed with everything Chris was saying. So, I found out my hair type and ordered the products. My 1st wash was amazing. I wasn’t putting clumps of hair on the shower wall so I don’t clog the drain. My hair was pretty dirty, so I washed the scalp a few times and my hair felt amazing already hydrated before the conditioner. Followed the next 3 steps, conditioner, leave in and oil. I’m amazed! Hardly any hair came out in my hands or comb. After 2 weeks and 3 wash routines waiting about 4 days to wash. My curls don’t tangle at the ends, my hair is super easy to comb through and remains soft and not brittle until next wash day and I’m not losing any hair. Thank You THE MOST HIGH for Live Love Locks and Chris!
Dear Chris, I am from the UK, and since watching your videos, I have followed every bit of advice you have given. I even go back to watch a few again. Your advice has saved my hair. I have started your healthy care routine, and I cant tell you how amazing my hair is looking ! Since I have bought the Purelogy leave in conditioner, my hair is looking so much healthier. Ibought the purple bottle Purelogy range ( Hydration) I also bought the Redken blow out, that too has changed my hair so much. In the Uk we only have the Redken 11 hotsets, and not brought out the Redken 22 as yet. The oil has saved my ends. I cant find the Berlin Dry Shampoo in the UK. Would you be looking at online shopping from your salon for UK people ? I felt I really wanted to drop in to say thank you. ! Your videos are the first I have watched, that actually are worth watching. I am so pleased to see my hair growing, getting thicker and healthier Take care, Mary from London xxxx
Looks like redken 22 is on that same website
My favorite dry shampoo is the “Not your mothers dry shampoo”. That is actually the name of it. So if you can’t get Chris’s recommended products and you have fine oily hair, it works really well. I have this type of hair so for any other hair types I have no advice.
Hi where did you get the Redken Blow out I can't find that in the uk, thanks.
@@natmya243 hiya you can purchase from feel unique or look fantastic. It cost around 18 pounds xxx
@@tinapack3162 Tina, thank you so much xxxxx
I LOVE his viewpoint on trims!!! I'm actually a stylist who prefers not to give cuts when the shape is still good!!! And when length is preferred, I've always avoided suggesting trims, I've always felt it was counter intuitive, but my industry/colleagues and even clients oftentimes disagree...🤷🏻♀️..actually pay off why I quit being a stylist f/t. Bravo on this vid 👏🏻❤ @blowoutprofessor
So having Native American blood in my family, we never put hair products on out hair and it was always shined and healthy.
As I got older and started incorporating product I noticed my hair become more unmanageable on days that I went without product.
I stopped using hair products again and it’s taken a few months but my hair is back to healthy and shiny.
I don’t believe the “naked” hair rule is truly important one considering many cultures do not put man made products on their hair or body and they seem to be the ones sporting the most healthy hair and skin
This guy is AMAZING. I never thought I'd binge watch hair videos! I'm absolutely going to use these tips. Apart from trimming and cheap shampoos, I'm guilty of everything else on the list. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
It is extremely refreshing to be told that frequent trimming is not required for healthy hair. My heart breaks every time I trim my hair because it is never a trim. I used to do it every 6 weeks and now haven't for over a year. My hair is naturally curly and hides damage in the curls.... or because of my job is hidden in a bun. To be honest even with as long as it's been since my last trim my hair is healthier and shinier than is has been in 10 years.
I've been working on emphasising my wavy hair, but combining WGM (modified curly girl method) with Chris's advice has been an absolute game changer. I've never loved my hair more.
Chris, can you prepare the video how to style naturally wavy, curly hair? All your recommendations are really amazing! Thank you :)
I'm following your advice, when I get my next paycheck I'm going to purchase a Redken shampoo, Olaplex no3, a leave-in conditioner, and some Castor oil. I've also booked a salon appointment to get a trim and bleach my roots. I've calculated that it's going to cost me a little over 200€, but I'm willing to make the investment! No other channel has such informative and amazing videos on hair, I'm already a big fan 😊
Been noticing my hair is so horrible all of a sudden so I’m going to try some of this tips cause I can see already where I was doing some damage 😮 thank you for an amazing video
Yup. The more I consistently used Olaplex to repair damage the less frizz I had, which was what was making me feel like I had to do touch ups with heat. So there was less damage for the Olaplex treatments to have to repair, thus less frizz after my hair is styled. I also stopped dying my hair which ended a lot of damage I’d been causing that way too. So now I’m at a place that I can do once a week or even once every two week Olaplex treatments for repairing heat damage and get the same results I’d been getting when I started using it, which was 2-3 times a week. Washing and styling my hair once a week, and only needing to do a heat styling touch up by day 3 or 4. Otherwise I just add the tiniest bit of oil to offer added shine and only when I feel I need it and but not enough to feel heavy/dirty or weigh my hair down. With getting my hair to this healthy state, no longer dying my hair to hid my grays/whites and only trimming when my ends appear frayed, my hair is now 3 1/2” away from being waist length!
I follow everything he says I’m obsessed with his advice it simply works my hair OSS incredible since I found him.Chris where have you been all of my life
Glad I found you-talks fast, directly to the point, & animated-perfect 😊
Could you do a video on brushing - I know it seems obvious but I think many brush incorrectly or could do better/more.
I was one of those arrogant people that came out the shower and left it naked right into my 30s. I was lucky to have great genes and my hair grew and stayed silky with minimal effort. But in the last few years, I’ve lost volume and texture. The holy trinity has helped turn it around and my hair feels/looks like it’s returning to it’s former glory but it actually growing faster!
Hey professor, thank you for all the videos. Especially as a man its so difficult to understand even the basics of hair care. You really make it all easy, thank you for that. Just a request, can you do one video on thinning hair?
Yes!!
68 yo, silver/platinum hair (not colored) way below waist length. Hair dressers get a bit upset when I say, no trim please, just a blowdry (only once in awhile). Us older gals can rock long hair with good care like this Professor mentioned. Thank you for these generous tips.
Your cadence is very pleasant, I'm not sure why. At first I thought it was an accent but it's just how comfortable you seem in front of the camera I guess. Thanks for all the tips!
I just chopped all my hair off into a pixie because bleach and heat damage. Ive hated my hair most of my life… i have decided not to use too much or too high heat anymore since I already color it.
If your hair gets messed up just put it up back or headband/ bun
I'd love to see a video about how to go more days between washing!
I absolutely have to wash my hair every day. It gets so oily and my cowlicks are gnarly
Listen to this man. I have thin hair and his recommendations have changed my hair. ❤
Chris, please do a video on wavy hair care!
Yes! I’ve asked for that several times but hoping he will soon.
Can you recommend safe styles for busy moms with lots of hair? Air drying and ponytails or buns are regular things but I don’t want to always hide my hair
Thank you so much!! Your advice on managing my damaged hair has changed my life. After 4 years of struggling to grow my damaged hair it is now in recovery and thriving just after I found you on youtube. Its not perfect and thats ok because it is a process. I am so grateful for your advice!!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the videos, they are so informative. Can you please do a series on Afro hair? I have chemically relaxed fine Afro hair and finding reliable and knowledgeable information and product choices is extremely hard. For example you talk about oils in the hair but our hair finds it extremely difficult to transport natural oils from the scalp down the length of the hair so some people can go as long as 2 weeks to a month to wash their hair
Hi babes, when it comes to relaxed afro hair, check out hairlicious on TH-cam, shes a relaxed girl and has a lot of information on how to care and grow relaxed hair. Cheers ❤
I am chemically relaxed as well and find his information very useful and easier than a lot of the relaxer specific channels. My natural texture is coarse and thick but it’s relaxed to a medium texture. When my hair is growing out I use his tips for coarse hair texture to incorporate more moisture into the new growth that is drier and this works very well. My hair sheds very little and it looks and feel very healthy. I think Chris focuses more on texture of the hair. Your relaxed hair may no longer be coarse. Mine is not. It’s medium. So I follow those guidelines until about 8 weeks when I have a lot of coarse new growth. Hope this is helpful.
Started following his advice. I have fine but thick hair. I bought the redken extreme shampoo and redken volume conditioner ( my store out of the volume shampoo, plus I believe it has isopropyl alcohol and I tried to avoid that ingredient. I find my hair does better without it). So I washed, sprayed in my leave in ( not the pureology one) , air dried some then quickly went over with hairdryer, just a little rough dry---no styling (🥺😧....don't tell Chris) then finished with a little of the oloplex oil. 3 days later I was admiring the softness and shine in my 52 yr old let it go gray
, no more coloring hair! Softness and shine after only ONE time of doing this 😁
What brand is your leave in please?
I got a haircut a few days ago, and not only do I feel light, but I also learn a lot from your content.
I'm a nurse so I have to either braid or put my hair in a bun every day. A three day old braid or bun will not look good, so this advice doesn't make sense to me.
But I've taken the advice and bought the Redken products for my hair type and I'm not having to wash every day anymore. So thanks for that.
Totally thought Olaplex 6 was a leave in. Thank you for addressing that specifically!
It is. According to Olaplex it is a conditioning leave in styling treatment. Not sure what his beef is with Olaplex. Great product.
It is a leave in. Just not a conditioner, it's a treatment.
So happy I found your channel. Thank you for emphasizing infrequent trimming. I sacrificed my length, but once I starting saying "no" to trims I was so much happier with my hair. Best to you from Canada.
I watched your "how to fix oily scalp and dry hair forever" and I wanna thank you sooooo much 💜💜
It's literally the first time in my lifetime that I'm having the healthy, non frizzy , stlyed hair that is not getting any damage
After the shower I like to use Not Your Mothers leave-in conditioner or a tiny bit of coconut oil( melted in between my hands), then add jojoba oil on the very ends. I have tailbone length hair and care for it the best way I can. The winter time is a bit challenging but I do let my hair air dry, then finger detangle before I take my brush and go from the ends to the roots.
I love my hair and hair in general. My mother was a home beautician. It's what she had love for and taught me so much. I do appreciate other stylist to come on here and share the knowledge they've gained to tell the truth about hair. My mother always said "Your hair already knows what it wants to do. Let it work with you and for you, not against you."
Oh… OH… I’ve been using Olaplex 6 as a leave in conditioner! I feel so called out! 😅
Hi Chris, I’ve been colouring my hair for over 20 years using salon products, but was never able to get the same results like my after salon visits. I did exactly as you said about the routine for great hair WHOA… my hair is so soft & light feeling I absolutely love it. Thank you thank you so much 😊
I’m 60 yrs old with a ton of health issues & due to those issues my hair is dry & frizzy. I’m a natural redhead it use to be auburn. I can’t afford expensive hair care due to all the darn Dr. bills. I just recently came across your TH-cam channel & I enjoy learning new things from you. I have started washing and conditioning my hair the way you say to do even though I’m used Dove hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford the opalex (sp) as you suggested to me to use. Thank you for your informational videos. Cindy Sue
I am 56 years old and had badly damaged hair from blow drying, straightening, and hair extensions..... For six months, I have trained my hair into ringlets by letting it air dry and using the correct product..... I also swear by scalp massage and pumpkin seed oil on your scalp for balding spots..... The most important thing is the proper diet!! Stop eating processed food, gluten, and sugar,.... Instead, eat a high protein diet with lots of veggies, berries, nuts, avocados, organic eggs, salmon, and watch your hair grow and glow...... My issue is that society insists that to be professional, a women must have the "perfect blow-out" preferably blonde...... For the curly hair girls like me, this will literally cause your hair to start to fall out in clumps especially as you age..... We need to nourish our curls and rock the ringlet look!!
I went from a bald man to a beautiful blond bombshell. Seriously I regrew my hair, it’s now platinum me beautiful. It took two years and a lot of patience.
The thing about trims is so true if you're trying to get long hair. My hair is to my tailbone and it's also very thin so it's always been prone to breakage and split ends, the way I got it this long is by hydrating the ends, wearing protective styles, and only trimming 1-2 times a year!!!
I agree 👍 💯!
Do you have to use a blow dry cream and a heat protectant? I would assume the cream has a Heat Protector in it.
I'm kinda glad that you mentioned the hair trimming thing. I've always heard from stylists and different media saying to get it trimmed every two weeks. That never made sense to me when it came to growing out your hair. I mean I get it if your hair grows super fast anyways and you're trying to maintain a short hairstyle, but for us in the long hair crowd it never made sense to me. I really only trim it when I notice that I'm starting to get a bunch of split ends every 6 months to a year and that has always worked out well for me. My enemy has been and continues to be your standard call center issued headset because of the type of work I do for a living, hair ties, and my husband rolling over in his sleep because he often gets his arm wrapped up in my hair if I'm not careful about it.
My daughter is 7 and I think she has the best haircare routine of any 7 year old lmao! we always use Leave in conditioner, heat protectant cream and the olaplaex hair oil every time we wash.
She is 7. Why does she need this at all
All these chemicals are bad for children
That’s fantastic you are already teaching her how to take care of her hair the right way! My 10 year old wants to grow her hair really, really long! We are also glad to have found this channel because she is now learning the proper way to grow her beautiful hair to be long and healthy and won’t have to unlearn the bad habits I grew up with! It’s even helping my own hair recover from stress-loss and years of bad habits!
Thank you for being straight-forward and honest.
Your tips has changed my hair!! I started my new haircare routine after watching your videos a few weeks ago and already I see a huge difference 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I took the leap and bought your recomended products and memorised the routine. The price is a little painful, but not awful. We'll see how well they 'll work on my hair 😁
Chris you give the best advice on hair! I wish you lived close to me I would come get my hair done by you. Thank you for this great video!
I used to do the daily heat touch ups...for years! Now, I'm only blowdrying on wash days, every 4 days. Thanks Chris!
I would just like to say I love how straightforward you are with your information. Really enjoying the channel.
My hair was very healthy naked with wash & wear (straight hair). I decided to have a change in style (layers, waves), so now using some product & using heat only 1-2x per week, only washing when really needs it.
Pls make a video on hair colour and how to care after that as well. Would be really helpful
No more naked hair lol. I want to tell you another time why I haven't used certain stuff. Thanks! Just got a few bottles of this, on sale.

I would like you to do a video dedicated to professional products for curly hair
Hi Chris, after watching your videos i decided to purchase your leave in conditioner and I have noticed such a big improvement in my hair. My hair is so much softer now and smooth and I use heat protection to. Thanks Chris
I have learned so much for Chris but was pleasantly surprised when he went over the products for each type of hair that for my coarse hai, I’ve been using all the right products.
Chris, I love your advice and living in France it is driving me crazy because I can’t seem to find “leave in conditioner” . Would you please do a whole video on different brands of leave in conditioner and if possible include some we can find in Europe? So many thanks for your help ❤
Found your channel today. THANK YOU for all your guidance and I've subbed. Impressed that you don't "push" the most expensive or name brand stuff, just what works, lasts and is reasonable. I'll be going through to see what you advise for a 67 yr/old with VERY thinning hair and underlying medical issues like lupus. 😪
Thoughts on silk and/or satin pillow cases? Worth the price tag or industry shenanigans? I’ve binge watched videos on your channel today and am excited to start a healthy hair routine, thank you :)
Except for frequent washing and oiling my scalp before shower, I already knew how to brush and follow the product steps. Unfortunately due to working out consective days in a row which I have to and contact with the ground, its very difficult not to wash hair. I dont use the products tho. Its too expensive. All that being said, grew my hair to my shoulders from a 1/4 inch in one year with no haircut.
Once a week shampoo, conditioner and leave in apply a heat protection and sit under the dryer for 15 minutes. That’s the only heat I use. Thank you Chris.
I love Chris as a stylist. He talks really fast so I have to write fast exactly what he is saying. I have natural curly silky hair. I just bought olaplex package and can't wait to try it. Thanks Chris for all your knowledge.
Thank you for freely sharing your advice! After I would get my hair trimmed the ends would always feel great, but in the next few days they would be thin and with split ends again. Thank you again for sharing these tips!
VIDEO REQUEST: Hello can you pls do a video on showing us the morning routine - wake up, hair is dry and frizzy - no time for a full blow dry on fully wet hair, can't we just spray it with a spray bottle to get some moisture, but then what do we use? heat protectant or just the blow dry cream or the leave in conditioner? i bought the leave in you recommended, hair better instantly. thank u !
I used to have amazing long hair and I was using a leave in oil from Dove back then years ago (never realised). Which is now discontinued I found out. Since, I’ve been using all these “new” products coming out, trying everything and nothing has worked! My hair has been shoulder length for about 3-4 years now. So since watching your videos, I’ve gone back to using oil after showering this last week, plus leave in conditioner. And wow, my hair is looking amazing already!! 😊😊
Why do you need a thermal spray when you’ve already used a thermal cream? The Redken blow out cream protects up to 450 degrees so isn’t that enough for blow drying and flat ironing? I hate to load up my my hair on products.
The pureolgy leave in conditioner you recommend is 1/2 off at sephora 🙂. Hair specials this month at ulta & sephora 😳
Thanks for sharing!
Can you please do a curly hair style demonstration?
Leave in conditioner! Right thank you
professional products cost more than I can afford....on another note the drugstore stuff has never left my hair feeling dirty/oily ect and i have had better results with them than professional stuff when i have the rare chance to try them....something my old hairstylists always told me and i do agree 100% with it....."everyone's hair is different just like their skin and taste in fashion/food....so what works for 1 person might not work for another so always take things with a grain of salt."
Hi professor,
I have medium, very curly and frizzy hair. Unfortunately because of that I straight it with the flat iron almost everyday... and with the winter coming (sometimes even the summer morning breeze ,while going to work, is enough to do this 🤦🏽♀️), it's a bit of a boredom, because of the humidity in the air, I have to always walk with hats and scarfs covering my hair. I can never feel pretty, because I'm more concerned of not letting my hair look like a clown wig 🤡
So would like to know if you could tell us how to keep the hair more time straight and behaved?
That's my question. I have curly and frizzy hair that I straighten. I don't have an issue growing it, but I do have a hard time keeping the face-framing hair from breaking off. If I don't touch it up, it looks crazy and gets out of control.
Chris you are amazing. I’m sure I couldn’t afford you but I’m sooo happy that you created this channel. So grateful for your help and honesty. Have a wonderful day
can you do a hair style video for flat heads?
Also, for really humans environments? And for people who work out a lot-how do we maintain curls for 3/4days even after working out. Your videos are the best!
Chris, how did you make out in the hurricane? Please post when you can and let us know how you are.
Thank you🙏 Can you recommend scalp serums, oils and treatments for thin hair please. Thank you in advance.
As someone who just started using leave in conditioner because she finally found a fragrance free version, it is a game changer💕💕💕
What is the name of the fragrance free leave in?
Can you please make a video on how to prep hair before using the Dyson Airwrap to make curls last especially in humid climate
Thanks for all your videos. I have now added all the products. I am now only washing 2 times a week and that good for my fine thin hair that really looks better when washed daily or every other day.
I get trims every 8-12 weeks because my hair looks much better short because it's so thin and fine and trying to get the damage part gone. Would love more content on thin hair.
Hey man, could you do a vid for people with short hair? I kinda follow your tips, but then I realise 'oil for the ends' and 'leave-in for the mids' etc are really for people with long hair that's been worked over. So I was wondering if you have tips for men and women with shorter hair, if leave-ins are worth the cost - if bond builders are a waste of time for virgin hair etc? Just asking anyway. Love your vids man.
Chris my son is 16 he has Afro hair what shampoo conditioner we use Crème of Nature (Argan Oil from Morocco)where’s as my daughter 12 has thick straight hair
My question is how do you properly use conditioner and where do you use it at to use it on your whole hand I bleach my hair so I do am I doing this wrong
Wow, I've been doing my hair soooo wrong. I thought less product, less heat, less handling was best. Boy was I wrong and it shows!
Wow, just when I think you have said about all that can be said about haircare you drop another truth bomb on us. I love that statement-"your hair like your skin, is compared to a baby that cannot take care of itself and needs help". Thank you for these tutorials on hair care and maintenance into your senior years. (Hint)
New to the channel and excited to try all of the suggestions! I am 100% guilty of restyling flyaways in the morning and I’m stoked to learn if it’s possible to do without touch ups for 3 days. Sleep and shower immediately cause my baby hair to take on new life every day :)
Hello I want to give you a great compliment because you are a real professional man and you win also with your voice the trust from us, you tube watchers but, YOU TALK MUCH TO QUICK, i must run after your words.When you explane it easier it would very very much pleasure
I've read that wrapping your hair in a hair towel/turban on your head after washing it isn't good for your hair, but I always wash my hair then my body when I shower, so I need something to keep my hair out of my body wash. Should I use a claw clip or a shower cap instead, then dry my hair when I get out of the shower?
Perhaps I missed this part but is a blowing cream better than a heat protectant?
The shampoo one is true. I have olaplex shampoo and I wash my hair 1-2 times a week. I have below shoulder length, and I've had my bottle months! And I only use a 10p size amount and it's so creamy. Really goes a long way
I followed these steps. Use leave in conditioner and hair looks great the day I wash the hair but next day it's back with frizz and dead looking hair. I have curly hair
Mine is straight and used to do this. I use a hair mask in place of a regular conditioner in the shower, and then leave in conditioner when I get out. Also put moroccanoil treatment oil on the ends when hair is dry most days. That seems to have sorted it. Hope this helps you
Hi, thanks for the video. What is the source for the three day rule? It sounds arbitrary. Additionally, the notion of “drugstore shampoo” versus “professional shampoo” has no merit from a chemistry standpoint. It’s all the same basic composition. The only true distinction is that “professional shampoos” spend more money on fragrance and ingredients that do not influence the essential chemical composition of the detergent. The “vitamins” and “precious oils” are instantly absorbed by the detergent because the detergent perceives them as “dirt.” The reason you pay more for “professional shampoo” is because the brand that outsources the production incurs more cost from unique-smelling fragrance and “exotic” pointless gimmicks. They in turn build that into the cost.
If you genuinely want people to have healthy hair, then you should advise that first, above all else, genetics govern your mane. Next, lifestyle and diet have some, but not much, influence over your hair.
I know - products are fun and I love them too. But it seems this advice is being motivated by the same drivers behind the “industrial haircare complex:” money.
There really is no difference in the opinions you present as fact versus Pantene’s marketing tactics. They both intend to gain consumer trust with the intent of getting loyalty which means more views/purchases and profit.
I would push back and say lifestyle could have huge effects. Amount and intensity of sun exposure or artificial tanning, tap water quality, nutritional deficiencies or eating disorders, pregnancy or major surgery, birth control, and more can have huge effects.
@@personmcdudeguy Oh absolutely! The point being that there aren’t any ingredients in “professional shampoo” or “drugstore shampoo” that will ultimately make a difference in whether or not you have “healthy hair.”
@@ThatsTheWayItGoes Yeah. I think of it like a bell curve. For a given product, most people would rate it as average, some on the left tail would call it awful and some on the right tail would say it's perfect. I think genetics doesn't limit people as much as they think, especially if their hair is shorter than tailbone length. I hear the genetics comment a lot from people trying to buuld muscle, but watch them work out and they clearly arent working hard enough. But technique matters a lot. Ripping through hair with the comb, not prepooing or oiling, not shampooing properly, just not being gentle in general.
You are so right. I decided to let my grey and curly flag fly and despite not blow drying or flat ironing my hair for over 4 years it still gets frizzy and dry as the days between washes march on. I've used professional styling products and look for bad chemicals in my shampoo, but you really don't have to buy pro shampoo. I've never found a brand that made a bit of difference in my natural hair.
@@personmcdudeguy You are not wrong with the curve example: it’s just unrelated to my point about the chemistry of detergents. Yes, people have preferences for the products they use, which, like most things in life, have the predictability of a Bell-distribution.
Thankyou for your videos. I have wavy, frizzy hair that I would air dry with heavy products , then need to wash every 2 days because of too much product. Now know where I’m going wrong. Please can you do a video on how to manage naturally wavy or curly hair without blow drying straight?
Hey! If your hair is naturally frizzy it will always be frizzy when air dried. There aren't any products that will do the styling for you :(
