I went vegetarian almost two years ago and my hair seriously started falling out. I went to a nutritionist a few months ago and we started logging my food and realized I was getting very little protein and fat in my diet. I've added protein shakes with chia seeds and a whole bunch of other forms of protein and my hair is now back to normal.
That's interesting... my hair's been falling out for several months, I asked my doctor if it was because I perhaps wasn't getting enough protein and he said I'd have to have a serious deficiency for it to affect my hair. I had a blood test and everything came back fine anyway.
Fallen Poet When we started logging my food intake I was getting hardly any protein in my diet so I may have been really deficient. I didn't even connect it to my hair until I noticed far less shedding when I washed it. Adding a protein shake may help. Good luck. I know it is frustrating.
That's strange. I was raised on a meat diet, and I had hair problems since the age of 14. At 16 it was falling out like crazy, it went half the density. Then, I became vegetarian (and I mean, proper fresh cooked meals with beans, rice, vegetables, herbs, yogurt, eggs, cheese and plenty of fresh fruit = healthy vegetarian) and my hair stopped falling completely (after a year). When I added more fruit in my diet, my hair completely stopped falling. I wash my hair, it doesn't clog the drains, I dry it and no hair comes out. I rarely comb my hair because I never find myself covered in fallen hair like I used to (I always had long hair). The days when I have to clean my coat or my jumper from the fallen hair have gone. I don't think my diet has massive amounts of protein (average amounts), and even my iron is within range but at the lower end of the spectrum. So for me, it was the opposite, the vegetarian+fruit diet helped my hair more than anything I could imagine, and it was not the high protein or the high iron. I think that hair needs the complex array of vitamins that you find in fruits. I am not proud to say I am a bit low in iron and I am on the path to fixing it, but it clearly has no impact on the health of my hair. I need to add more whole cereals + dry fruits to fix the low iron, because I didn't eat much of that. A bowl of muesli has 3x the iron in meat, however you need to eat it often and with Orange juice to make sure it all gets absorbed. Vegetarianism implies a wider knowledge of your food! Also, I know from Dr. Robert Morse that a detoxification phase implies fatigue, skin breakouts and hair fall (among others). I went vegetarian slowly, so I avoided the sudden detox. But if you make a big sudden change, and you also eat less than usual (you'd be constantly half-fasting if you don't eat enough food), then your detox will be more violent. Eating less food, in itself, can trigger detox, and if you quit meat and dairy then the detox will be strong. Also, depending on your body, a sudden vegan switch might not be enough to fix mal-absorption, if you happen to suffer from it. If your body is 'clogged' in toxins, it will absorb nutrients poorly. Getting healthy the natural way is not so easy, and it's not fast either. You go through many stages of healing, some are pretty but some are not so much. And what protein does = it stops the detox.
yeah ur right but I think she means just to stop it coming back or something but yeah that's why I hate getting split especially because It takes so long for my hair to grow
i used to have horrible split ends but idk what changed, but now i dont have them anymore at all, and i havent had a haircut in like 6 months. in that time i used to have horrible hair. i think she meant that. that you can do something to prevent them from coming back.
I was born with Thick (Mexican 😂) hair, but it stopped growing about two years ago .. I've only just turned 15. I've taken care of my hair, trust me there's mire than just being born with it.
MoonieLass right, I have thin hair and I feel like it never looks that good. And I've never died my hair so I feel like if u have thicker hair people assume u take better care of it.
My hair is pretty fine, it was thicker as a teenager but now it seems to fall out so much easier. What I find helps is to have an olaplex treatment and use the no. 3 hair mask at home once a week. It repairs all of the damage that the sun, heat styling and hair dye does. I also give my scalp and really good massage to stimulate the blood flow to the roots every time I wash it. Try and not wash your hair everyday, use dry shampoo and see how long you can go. I also use Avedas thickening tonic, comes in a dark red bottle and it really does thicken your hair strands to give a fuller appearance.
I find however often I wash my hair, is how often I need to wash my hair. So when I was washing it everyday I needed to wash it every day as it was so greasy. I now only wash it once a week and that is all it needs :)
Jessicaa S I think you'd have to train you hair to do it like go wash you hair on the 3rd for a month instead of the 2nd then you hair will get used to not being washed as much
Thanks Niomi! Aveda does a really great job coloring your hair, I can't wait to try the remedy repair line. Need to get back to using that coconut oil!
basically I do the same thing but I recommended to all of you ladies to use wooden brush, it makes a lot of differences for your hair. Wooden brush absorbs natural oil from your hair and when you brush it through it spreads the natural oil from your hair and from the brush.
washing your hair with cold or not so hot water is a lot better for your hair, if you dye your rinsing with cold water will seel the colour in and make it last longer
I work for an Aveda Salon and I stand by their products. From the ingredients to the mission statement it's the way to go! So glad you like Aveda aswell
Niomi u said "Quinoa has SUCH a lot of protein".. but Actually it has very little protein (especially the the amount of calories u would need to consume). Only about 7.5 grams per WHOLE Cup.. Tempeh & Tofu however have SO much more protein, 20 Grams per only HALF Cup... MORE than Double for HALF the amount... even Kidney beans have 13 Grams per Cup...making Quinoa packing NOT so much protein for the volume u must eat. Just an FYI for anyone who wants to know.
What my Peruvian mom does: Boil the quinoa. Choose your preferred amount and blend it with milk and sugar (in a blender or whatever you use). I like it cold and to me it's just like a milkshake although it is more dense. It's a good breakfast choice because quinoa is full of good stuff for your body and it just helps you wake up and start the day.
A headstand for few minutes is really helpful. What is does is it changes the path of blood flow and this evidently helps stregthening the roots of your hair.
I wish you had included more information about what other Aveda products you use - shampoo, conditioner for example? They are my favourite brand but curious to hear what ones you use xx
Sunny day Anti-static hair detangler by LUSH is amaze! you just spray a bit into your hair and brush it and your hair looks instantly smooth, and it smells like fresh flowers!! x
I actually never thought that French braiding your hair before bed would prevent knots. I only did it because it makes my hair smoother. Thanks for the tips and advice, Niomi!
Tips I've learnt for offensively soft hair and no split ends (so much so it took 10 months without seeing a hairdresser before I started to get any): Brush your hair before you get in the shower so then you can gently brush it whilst the Conditioner is in. Put a hair serum in when your hair is wet (I use salon professionals gold one and the aussie one) Never use heat on your hair I use aussie 3 min miracle just about every time I was my hair and I leave it in for as long as possible I used to use the Charles Worthington melting balm which gave me the softest hair so now I am looking for a replacement Tie your up loosely quite a bit to stop wind damaging your hair Coconut oil has never been as good as other hair masks I have tried Never towel dry your hair. I just give it a quick squeeze in the towel and then put the towel across my shoulders Rinse your hair with cold water at the end of the shower (generally a good tip for stopping your boobs going south as well) Other things I still need to try: Silk pillows Vitamins with vitamin K in etc designed for hair and nails Cotton shirt to dry your hair Pureology shampoo for coloured hair
"I don't know how it works" - Well, blowing the hair out really covers split ends. And the product is putting them in place and making your hair shiny. There is no way to actually repair split ends. You can either chop them off or make them lay flat against each other so that you can't see them unless you search for them. This video is all about how to make you hair LOOK healthy, not be healthy. And this is fine, everyone needs a little bit of extra help once in a while.
though, the aveda hair products are amazing! like...if you're going to take good care of your hair, whether or not you have african curly dry hair or flat asian black hair, these products will work for you.
LUSH shampoos are amazing! ✨ They look like hockey pucks and they last you a forever and I think all of them (or at least most of them) are vegan. I recommend to try! There's one for curly hair, one to moisturize dry hair... Something for every hair type. 😍
I have super oily scalp and fine hair, I use the one called REHAB (NOT the shampoo bar) It's really good! I got a big one (16.9oz) and it lasts more than half year ( I wash 1 time a day )
Thanks for sharing your tips, your hair does look great! I love using a mix of argan oil and castor oil (the argan oil makes the mixture more spreadable), and I put it on my roots and throughout the length of the hair and it makes it so much stronger and softer.
Being an Aveda stylist, I totally knew Aveda would pop up in your hair care video since you've raved about them before. The Damage Remedy line is life and I'm going blonde slowly and that split end repair is my saviour haha. Aveda is such a nice hair care line being anywhere from 97%-99% organic and naturally derived! Thats incredibly hard to find especially because everything is sustainably resourced. Some times things get discontinued if it's not sustainable anymore and I think that is so awesome. Very Vegan friendly :) Although they're owned by Estee Laudre and I'm pretty sure they do test on animals but the salon I work at just had some staff go to an Aveda conference to learn more about it, and they've stated that although it is that way with Estee Laudre is, they continue to make sure Aveda products are people tested only. You should totally look up Horst Rachelboker (probably spelled that wrong) and learn more about him and why he started Aveda if you haven't already. He's really quite a visionary :) If you ever find yourself in Canada, more specifically Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, stop by Breze Salon and Day Spa. It's the only Aveda salon in the city
I love you sooo much your videos are great . I'm personally a big fan of aveda products as well . Could you please do a morning and night skincare routine
I know they made it sound like it "disappeared", but I think what they mean is that it disappears in the sense that you can't see them. Normally split ends are reeeeeally obvious and make the ends look frizzy, but I think using this kind off smoothes them out, making it appear like you don't have them, although not "removing" them :)
that's your opinion but plz keep it to yourself plz don't comment things u think is wrong or not good enough she is a great youtuber and she was talking about how to not get more split ends plz think before u speak!
If I don't have a lot of time in the morning, I love to have a shower and then pat my hair so it's just a bit damp, spray some Aussi (brand) leave-in conditioner and then plait my hair so it's really healthy in the morning x
It was rather hard to find a list of ALL ingredients in those aveda product. Sadly this line has silicons in their products :( Can't use that and don't think it's good for your scalp either.
As soon as she said that her split ends instantly looked better I was sure there was a silicone in there, since there's nothing that can actualy repair a strand of hair that has split. It's just makeup for your hair, just make believe... I would be surprised as to how unknowledgeable Niomi was about this, but her hair is generally damaged and looks like straw when she doesn't get it professionally done and slathered in silicone.
I've learned though that the silicone used in Aveda products are in small molecules than in long ones so it's not building up and washing out quicker than the silicones in panthene or other brands... it's also a silicone that is naturally harvested, so I'm not that careful with it as I would be with other products. so far the whole damage remedy line doesn't seem to build up in my hair while the organix brand is doing that really quickly. (like, in comparison)
Cornelia Hanimann I am not talking about the chemical element silicon (silicium) but the synthetic polymer silicone! And there is no natural silicone, it's all synthetic. Either way I found my skin doesn't like any silicone, not on the head and not in my face. So I'm really careful about that
Farangis08 well I was speaking about the molecule, not the element...is there even an element? it's a molecule...and as far as I was informed, there are different types some that are long and some that are short. ya that one is true, there's no natural silicone.
Product build-up has been a HUGE problem for me these past couple of months. The top of my hair felt greasy while the bottom was really dried out. My hairdresser gave me a shampoo to use about once a week that removes product residue from my hair. She said to really focus on the ends and always brush through conditioner afterwards. I had to use it a couple times in a row at first but it worked wonders for my hair!
Yeh I always leave the conditioner on for a few mins too, usually just scrub my body or shave my legs while waiting. I don't put it on my roots though, don't think they need conditioning.
Millet (I am not sure if the word is right in Italian it's called "miglio" ) is such a good alternative for quinoa and it is also cheaper. I really recommend it!
quinoa is high in protein, however it does not have all the aminoacids meat has, therefore it cannot be used for building muscles. brocoli has some minoacids that completes quinoa's protein. so always have quinoa and brocoli together!
MAKE AN UPDATED EVERYDAY MAKE UP LOOK! I really like natural and minimal make up looks! I have a feeling you would make a really great video on this! :)
Thank you for the advice! it was really useful. i just have a question. You put the coconut oil into your hair and wash it the day afterwards or that same day? hope you can help me. Thanks for your video gain.
I wash, blow dry and brush my hair with my head tilted down including my upper body. It really works you get amazing volume, its easier to handle and you don't pull it. Also I wash my hair once a week and brush it once a day.
melt coconut oil and honey together let it cool a little leave in for 30mins or really thick dry hair over night wash out makes the hair look and feel so good and it goes on dry hair :)
My tip is to not wash your hair too often as it will dry out, therefore your hair will rapidly try to produce oils, making it greasy x and I highly recommend investing in a heat protectant spray/ serum to protect your hair from the damage caused by curling irons etc.
Loved these tips! Although, for me the hair-braiding over night doesn't really work as my hair is really thin. When I open a braid it doesn't have these nice big curls you're talking about because the hair is braided a lot tighter and with smaller streaks than with thick hair. It looks awful, so that I always have to wash or straighten my hair after opening a braid (or even a ponytail). :(
Hey Niomi, i wanted to ask if you could make a video about how food has impact on beauty, like what to eat to improve skin, hair, nails etc. I also wanted to say that i love your Videos and your book! lots of love :*
i use conditioner in my hair for a couple of minutes but i don't put it in my roots because conditioner is for the ends of your hair that doesn't get enough oil.
made your banana loaf today and made a video, it was so good! crazy how sweet and yummy the dates make it :) I needed this video considering I don't take too good of my hair
I'm a pescetarian so the only meat I eat is fish, I had no idea that quinoa was so good for your hair protein wise. Apparently mussels are also an amazing source of protein!
I went vegetarian almost two years ago and my hair seriously started falling out. I went to a nutritionist a few months ago and we started logging my food and realized I was getting very little protein and fat in my diet. I've added protein shakes with chia seeds and a whole bunch of other forms of protein and my hair is now back to normal.
Been noticing the same thing! I started taking biotin pills but will look into protein shakes!
That's interesting... my hair's been falling out for several months, I asked my doctor if it was because I perhaps wasn't getting enough protein and he said I'd have to have a serious deficiency for it to affect my hair. I had a blood test and everything came back fine anyway.

***** thanks so much for your reply! I'm also vegan so this may be the case for me too. I'll definitely look into increasing my iodine intake :)

Nims hair is gorgeous and such a beautiful colour! Such a great person❤️❤️
you look so happy and bubbly. im so proud of how far you have come and how comfortable you are in front of the camera. Love you!!💗💗
0:25 i thought she said 'you could also so use this as cocaine'.....

ahahaha yes me too
Yessss
Rosie wilhelm 😂😂
same haha
I absolutely love your hair colour! it looks so natural
I don't know what it is but I love watching your videos because you simply gives me the best positive vibes which is very motivating x
Split ends can't be fixed, the only way they can be stopped is by cutting them off.
Like the hair strands can't magically fix themselves back together😂
yeah ur right but I think she means just to stop it coming back or something but yeah that's why I hate getting split especially because It takes so long for my hair to grow
i used to have horrible split ends but idk what changed, but now i dont have them anymore at all, and i havent had a haircut in like 6 months. in that time i used to have horrible hair. i think she meant that. that you can do something to prevent them from coming back.
yea they can be improved nourished and hydrated
That hair color looks so pretty on you!
My tip is sunflower seeds! As soon as I started eating them daily my hair grew SO fast and got thicker and better, they're amazing :D
Any specific brand? I live in Kansas, there's sunflower seeds literally in every shop. 😂😂
Marissa Burciaga Nope, just any straight up sun flower seeds :D I just buy a big pack of them and eat a handful a day ^_^
that's amazing! might have to try that :)
Thats really helpful. I will tray that.
Thank you. :)
MY guide to healthy hair: Be born with super thick and awesome hair
I was born with Thick (Mexican 😂) hair, but it stopped growing about two years ago .. I've only just turned 15. I've taken care of my hair, trust me there's mire than just being born with it.
MoonieLass right, I have thin hair and I feel like it never looks that good. And I've never died my hair so I feel like if u have thicker hair people assume u take better care of it.
Ohmygawd! Me, too! They always say I never take care of my hair when the truth is I was born with thin and fine hair. :(
My hair is pretty fine, it was thicker as a teenager but now it seems to fall out so much easier. What I find helps is to have an olaplex treatment and use the no. 3 hair mask at home once a week. It repairs all of the damage that the sun, heat styling and hair dye does. I also give my scalp and really good massage to stimulate the blood flow to the roots every time I wash it. Try and not wash your hair everyday, use dry shampoo and see how long you can go. I also use Avedas thickening tonic, comes in a dark red bottle and it really does thicken your hair strands to give a fuller appearance.
I hate it sooooo much! :((( 😭
I find however often I wash my hair, is how often I need to wash my hair. So when I was washing it everyday I needed to wash it every day as it was so greasy. I now only wash it once a week and that is all it needs :)
Emma Cato wow your hair must be trained well to be able to go a few days without going greasy mine ridiculous and I have to was every other day
Emma Cato HOW DO YOU DO THAT?? Please tell me
Jessicaa S I think you'd have to train you hair to do it like go wash you hair on the 3rd for a month instead of the 2nd then you hair will get used to not being washed as much
Didn't explain that well haha I mean like on 3rd day after you've last washed your hair
I'm the same with my hair, I can go up to a fortnight during winter without washing my hair and once a week in summer
Thanks Niomi! Aveda does a really great job coloring your hair, I can't wait to try the remedy repair line. Need to get back to using that coconut oil!
basically I do the same thing but I recommended to all of you ladies to use wooden brush, it makes a lot of differences for your hair. Wooden brush absorbs natural oil from your hair and when you brush it through it spreads the natural oil from your hair and from the brush.

mia Poe Hemp seeds have a lot of protein
I never dry my hair with a towel I always use an old shirt because it's more gentle on your hair 😊
me too and since I started using old shirts I don't have split ends!
same, it's bliss
I do that as well! It's great for curly hair :) frizz is basically non-existent after I started with the shirt!
I do that because I remember Niomi suggested it ages ago with her Mum. 😂
Oh I used to do that but I forgot that tip! Omg thanks
I love your current hair colour, it suits you so well
What my Peruvian mom does:
Boil the quinoa. Choose your preferred amount and blend it with milk and sugar (in a blender or whatever you use). I like it cold and to me it's just like a milkshake although it is more dense. It's a good breakfast choice because quinoa is full of good stuff for your body and it just helps you wake up and start the day.
Make sure to wash it before you boil it !!!
A headstand for few minutes is really helpful. What is does is it changes the path of blood flow and this evidently helps stregthening the roots of your hair.
Thank you Niomi!! I was really needing this xx
Love your hair....especially when it's darker 😍😍
Please do a hair tutorial on this look!! So pretty :)
lovely video as always Niomi. Been waiting for an updated hair care routine and this is perfect timing.
That damage remedy stuff is AMAZING I go through so much of it, I love aveda
So gorgeous Niomi!! Obsessed with how healthy your hair is!! ❤❤❤
Niomi your makeup is lovely! I couldn't stop staring at your eyeshadow!
I wish you had included more information about what other Aveda products you use - shampoo, conditioner for example? They are my favourite brand but curious to hear what ones you use xx
Sunny day Anti-static hair detangler by LUSH is amaze! you just spray a bit into your hair and brush it and your hair looks instantly smooth, and it smells like fresh flowers!! x
That aveda brush is actually life changing for me LOL your hair looks gorgeous btw!
if you have oily roots don't put conditioner on your roots... just don't.
I love you soooooo much Niomi!! You are such an inspiration x Ily 💖💕
This was such a fun, chatty video - and I loved your tips! x
I actually never thought that French braiding your hair before bed would prevent knots. I only did it because it makes my hair smoother. Thanks for the tips and advice, Niomi!
Quinoa prepared with garlic powder and dried cherries..... So good. Eating it feels indulgent as just sitting back with a bowl of pork fried rice.
Tips I've learnt for offensively soft hair and no split ends (so much so it took 10 months without seeing a hairdresser before I started to get any):
Brush your hair before you get in the shower so then you can gently brush it whilst the Conditioner is in.
Put a hair serum in when your hair is wet (I use salon professionals gold one and the aussie one)
Never use heat on your hair
I use aussie 3 min miracle just about every time I was my hair and I leave it in for as long as possible
I used to use the Charles Worthington melting balm which gave me the softest hair so now I am looking for a replacement
Tie your up loosely quite a bit to stop wind damaging your hair
Coconut oil has never been as good as other hair masks I have tried
Never towel dry your hair. I just give it a quick squeeze in the towel and then put the towel across my shoulders
Rinse your hair with cold water at the end of the shower (generally a good tip for stopping your boobs going south as well)
Other things I still need to try:
Silk pillows
Vitamins with vitamin K in etc designed for hair and nails
Cotton shirt to dry your hair
Pureology shampoo for coloured hair
Your hair looks amazing 😘, how many times a week do you wash your hair? x
"I don't know how it works" - Well, blowing the hair out really covers split ends. And the product is putting them in place and making your hair shiny. There is no way to actually repair split ends. You can either chop them off or make them lay flat against each other so that you can't see them unless you search for them.

Jennie Woo ?
Thanks for the tips! Love watching your videos! ❤️
When Niomi said roots but she was holding the ends hahaha Love ya!
LUSH shampoos are amazing! ✨ They look like hockey pucks and they last you a forever and I think all of them (or at least most of them) are vegan. I recommend to try! There's one for curly hair, one to moisturize dry hair... Something for every hair type. 😍
What is it called ?
I have the one called Montalbano. :)
appearently they're having a ton of sulfates in them so...I'm not a fan of lush..they're not that natural and more organic and handmade...
I have super oily scalp and fine hair, I use the one called REHAB (NOT the shampoo bar) It's really good! I got a big one (16.9oz) and it lasts more than half year ( I wash 1 time a day )
Please could you do a video on when and why you went plant based? That would be great to hear! Thanks for the videos xx
Thanks for sharing your tips, your hair does look great! I love using a mix of argan oil and castor oil (the argan oil makes the mixture more spreadable), and I put it on my roots and throughout the length of the hair and it makes it so much stronger and softer.

The only way to get rid of split ends is to cut them. You can't "repair" them
I know they made it sound like it "disappeared", but I think what they mean is that it disappears in the sense that you can't see them. Normally split ends are reeeeeally obvious and make the ends look frizzy, but I think using this kind off smoothes them out, making it appear like you don't have them, although not "removing" them :)
e uhh yeah but the thing she spoke about could stop you getting more split ends
I think it's more like temporarily smoothing them down
that's your opinion but plz keep it to yourself plz don't comment things u think is wrong or not good enough she is a great youtuber and she was talking about how to not get more split ends plz think before u speak!
+mia grace kelly no but she's right lol hair is dead and it cannot heal itself so once it splits it can't be repaired
Hii Niomi! Could you please make a video showing how you curl your hair?! Love you ❤️
Im in love with the lip colour you're wearing😍
You seem so happy in this video I love it!!!
If I don't have a lot of time in the morning, I love to have a shower and then pat my hair so it's just a bit damp, spray some Aussi (brand) leave-in conditioner and then plait my hair so it's really healthy in the morning x
More beauty related videos please.. they are my favourite kind😍❤️
Coconut oil is honestly magic I use it for everything it's always in my travel bag to because its so versatile
It was rather hard to find a list of ALL ingredients in those aveda product. Sadly this line has silicons in their products :( Can't use that and don't think it's good for your scalp either.
As soon as she said that her split ends instantly looked better I was sure there was a silicone in there, since there's nothing that can actualy repair a strand of hair that has split. It's just makeup for your hair, just make believe... I would be surprised as to how unknowledgeable Niomi was about this, but her hair is generally damaged and looks like straw when she doesn't get it professionally done and slathered in silicone.
that is true
I've learned though that the silicone used in Aveda products are in small molecules than in long ones so it's not building up and washing out quicker than the silicones in panthene or other brands...
it's also a silicone that is naturally harvested, so I'm not that careful with it as I would be with other products. so far the whole damage remedy line doesn't seem to build up in my hair while the organix brand is doing that really quickly. (like, in comparison)
Cornelia Hanimann I am not talking about the chemical element silicon (silicium) but the synthetic polymer silicone! And there is no natural silicone, it's all synthetic. Either way I found my skin doesn't like any silicone, not on the head and not in my face. So I'm really careful about that
Farangis08 well I was speaking about the molecule, not the element...is there even an element? it's a molecule...and as far as I was informed, there are different types some that are long and some that are short. ya that one is true, there's no natural silicone.
Thank you for the amazing video as always, Niomi!!! I love Aveda just as much
Product build-up has been a HUGE problem for me these past couple of months. The top of my hair felt greasy while the bottom was really dried out. My hairdresser gave me a shampoo to use about once a week that removes product residue from my hair. She said to really focus on the ends and always brush through conditioner afterwards. I had to use it a couple times in a row at first but it worked wonders for my hair!
I really enjoy going to Aveda salons. Good tips, Niomi!
Can you do an updated skin routine morning/night with products and brands, especially since into more natural/organic healthcare please?!
If u read the back of condition bottle it does tell u to leave it in .. Use tangle teaser brush x
Yeh I always leave the conditioner on for a few mins too, usually just scrub my body or shave my legs while waiting. I don't put it on my roots though, don't think they need conditioning.
Niomi, your hair definitely is gorgeous! 😍
Your hair does look realllllyyy healthy and lushh 😭😍😍
i love your hair when its in a middle parting
Millet (I am not sure if the word is right in Italian it's called "miglio" ) is such a good alternative for quinoa and it is also cheaper. I really recommend it!
I put coconut oil on my hair and skin too, it's good for everything!
quinoa is high in protein, however it does not have all the aminoacids meat has, therefore it cannot be used for building muscles. brocoli has some minoacids that completes quinoa's protein. so always have quinoa and brocoli together!
thanks for sharing!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing. :)
Could you link the source of that info please :D I'd love to read more about it
Loved this videooo and the amazing tips! Niomi, What do you ask for your haircut it looks beautiful ?????❤❤❤
yay, got myself a signed copy of the book. x
MAKE AN UPDATED EVERYDAY MAKE UP LOOK! I really like natural and minimal make up looks! I have a feeling you would make a really great video on this! :)
Love your hair colour at the moment ❤️
Thank you for the advice! it was really useful. i just have a question. You put the coconut oil into your hair and wash it the day afterwards or that same day? hope you can help me. Thanks for your video gain.
just bought your eat smart book cant wait to try the foods 😊
How often do you wash your hair? Do you use dry shampoo or anything for when it's a bit greasy? I loved this video! It helped me a lot :) x
Can you do more what I eat in a day videos please, I need more ideas on what to eat at school that is healthy xxx
What do you do for your hair colour I love it so much! Is it a full colour or highlights we well:)
Soon in love with your hair color right now!😍😍😍
I'm touring Norway and Bergen, and every time I see "joe and the juice" i think heyy Niomi drinks that.
thank you for being so inspiring and nice! your videos help me to stay focused and to have fun while doing smth good for my body :)
castor oil and flaxeed oil mask also leaves hair amazingly soft and shiny
I wash, blow dry and brush my hair with my head tilted down including my upper body. It really works you get amazing volume, its easier to handle and you don't pull it. Also I wash my hair once a week and brush it once a day.
Absolutely perfect!
I love using coconut oil on my hair! Makes my hair so soft 😍😍
Thank you Niomi
melt coconut oil and honey together let it cool a little leave in for 30mins or really thick dry hair over night wash out makes the hair look and feel so good and it goes on dry hair :)
My tip is to not wash your hair too often as it will dry out, therefore your hair will rapidly try to produce oils, making it greasy x and I highly recommend investing in a heat protectant spray/ serum to protect your hair from the damage caused by curling irons etc.
your hair is so beautiful !!
Loved these tips! Although, for me the hair-braiding over night doesn't really work as my hair is really thin. When I open a braid it doesn't have these nice big curls you're talking about because the hair is braided a lot tighter and with smaller streaks than with thick hair. It looks awful, so that I always have to wash or straighten my hair after opening a braid (or even a ponytail). :(
Loved the tips! Do more hair videos when you can, please.
I love Aveda products! I love the Clove shampoo it is just nice and also be curly because it leaves my waves very nice.
Hi Niomi! I met you at your Liverpool signing, just wanted to say that you were absolutely lovely! Hope you've read my card❤️❤️
Hey Niomi, i wanted to ask if you could make a video about how food has impact on beauty, like what to eat to improve skin, hair, nails etc.
I also wanted to say that i love your Videos and your book! lots of love :*
Keeping these tips in mind for my hair!
what mascara are you wearing your lashes looks amazing!! :)
Do you get a full head of highlights or balayage ? Look the darker tones running through your hair 😍
i use conditioner in my hair for a couple of minutes but i don't put it in my roots because conditioner is for the ends of your hair that doesn't get enough oil.
made your banana loaf today and made a video, it was so good! crazy how sweet and yummy the dates make it :) I needed this video considering I don't take too good of my hair
I'm a pescetarian so the only meat I eat is fish, I had no idea that quinoa was so good for your hair protein wise. Apparently mussels are also an amazing source of protein!
Do you find the coconut oil stains your pillowcase at all? That's my only concern with using it as an overnight mask
