Applying shampoo : •only wash your scalp because it will dry out your hair if you put it everywhere •try to put the shampoo up into your scalp kind of pushing upward •your focusing on cleaning your scalp not your hair •never apply shampoo directly to your ends •don’t lather up the shampoo in your hands Suds: •professional shampoos create suds •when you see tons of suds your hair is clean Two washing: •oil is really hard to clean from a pan and it’s the same with hair so you need to wash it twice Conditioning: •apply to your mids and your ends •if you have dry hair use more conditioner •you can get away with putting a little conditioner on your scalp •you want to keep a little bit of conditioner in your hair •Temperature does not matter so don’t think you have to take really cold showers to wash your hair bc it makes no difference I’m just putting stuff down I found important but if you’re reading this have a good day
@@elizabethhouser3357 But they might not have known. Most people don't. So much of what we are told by companies are lies geared to sucker us into buying their products that masquerades as science and knowledge, so why would anyone question, especially if they didn't know what questions to ask. Even in hair school they don't teach us a lot of what we really need to know.
@@DanteVelasquez I was told rinsing out my conditioner in dirty bath water was good enough. I didn’t learn differently until my forties when I had a stylist I trusted enough to tell the steps of my washing. I always had oily hair. There are other grotesque overt neglectful things from my parents. My parents knew what they were neglecting, it was a choice. I understand why, but I don’t condone what they did.
It is so refreshing to listen to a hair dresser who isn’t interested in trying to push a suite of products onto you to achieve an outcome and actually shares techniques that WORK. I didn’t know how to properly wash my hair before washing this video. After I wash my hair, my scalp usually still wouldn’t feel clean and I could feel the “waxy” build-up still on my scalp. If I went to my local salon, they would wash it and my scalp would feel amazing. I could never figure out what I was doing wrong and, when I asked them, they just sold me products they had and insisted that was the cause, and yet my results at home would still end up being the same. I came across this video the other day, and tried washing my hair following the techniques in the video yesterday and, oh my God, the result was night and day compared to what I normally had as a result. This time my scalp was actually CLEAN. No build-up or ‘waxy’ residue feeling - it felt exactly the same way as if I had my hair washed by a hair dresser (minus the glorious massage feeling you get if someone else does it for you). This actually works, and your entire explanation about shampooing without lathering in hands and it will lather in your hair once it’s clean was spot on - this is exactly what happened for me. Thank you so much for being honest and sharing your knowledge without any expectation to get something from those who watch (like buying one of your products, etc.) - if I lived in your area, I’d absolutely become a client just based on your honesty and advice that is genuine and WORKS.
I relate to this so much! My scalp felt clean after leaving the salon but I just couldn’t get it right at home when I did it myself. I’m in my 20’s and felt embarrassed that something so normal is something I still struggled with as an adult. Thank you for sharing this, I’m right there with you!
@@lemonberrytea Give his technique a go and I promise you that issue will be a thing of the past. That white build-up waxy feeling that you get and can find under your nails after shampooing to check if your scalp is clean won't happen anymore if you do it the way he tells you. Wash your hair tonight following his steps and let me know how you go! I will be looking forward and excited to hear your success of being able to finally crush your hair washing struggle! You've got this!
"isn't interested in trying to push a suite of products onto you" did you not hear the part where he literally said ONLY buy professional salon shampoos?
@@dietotaku that's only two products as opposed to a litany of 20 products. I buy my shampoo and conditioner from Sally Beauty for 4/$20 so it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. The shampoo only suds after the second go around.😊
@@dietotaku that's 2 products that everyone needs...not a "suite" of them as the OP stated. Recommending that you buy professional products is not the same thing
I've started doing this months ago and my hair has grown CONSIDERABLY longer and faster now that I only wash my scalp. BLESS YOUR HEART CHRIS!!! Thank you so much for your no b.s way of teaching how to actually take care of our hair!!!
@@kookyshooky8897 yes because when you start washing out the suds from you scalp goes down the rest of your hair. not sure how to explain it properly but yes it does. and any product that you put in your hair should come out when introduced to water.
Mate. Never been able to go more than 2 days without washing until i found your videos. Everyone that said you need to 'train your hair' not to need more than a once-weekly wash meant my few attempts meant a shameful greaseball on my head until I gave up. You fixed it with one video. So thanks from Australia ❤
One tip is also: notice how you apply things out of pure muscle memory. I was confused as to why the right side of my hair was way more damaged and frizzy all the time. I figured out it was because I apply my conditioner a lot more generously to my left side - by the time I get to the right side, I wash it off right away. The poor right side was getting totally ripped off! Just thought that was interesting
I am 57 years old and have had long hair for most of my life. This video has been an eye opener, to say the least. Blunt, straight forward and easy to grasp, no wishy washy garble. Thank you Chris, off to check out the shampoo/conditioner and hope I can get it in the UK. 😊😊
Do his products list thingy. I did. I have long hair and the improvement is incredible. Mine is long, thick and coarse. Olaplex and Morrocan Oil products. I alternate and use oil on the ends daily 🙂
thank you for busting the cold water myth!!! my hair is growing back slowly and surely after I started fallowing your advice! Thank You so so much for being here! I wish I can find someone to take care of my hair with as much knowledge as you have!
Yea I always use cold water to spread my leave in after I'm done washing it. I wouldn't say it's a "myth," the quality of my hair really does improve with a post-wash cold water rinse.
@@beverly2643Since, he didn't ask for your advice, it's unsolicited advice!!! Since you seem to NOT understand, it's rude & unasked for!!! Please delete this comment!
My hairstylist actually suggested to do the first wash with a drugstore shampoo to get the first line of dirt and oil out of your hair, and then go in with a professional shampoo for the second time. And I can tell you that has actually saved me a lot of money. I was using the professional shampoo only and I went through it so quickly 😅 I do like your tip about not lathering the shampoo in your hands though, didn't know that so def gonna try it out. And lastly another tip my stylist gave me: if you have a lot of hair it can get difficult to actually get to your scalp on top, so flipping your head upside down and pushing your fingers through the strands onto the scalp can make it easier to reach. Hope this helps some people and loved the video!
I just came across you channel about 2 weeks ago. I have very fine thin hair. My hair has never looked better. I watched your videos for “new to the channel”, then I’ve binge watched all the other ones. And occasionally I’ll rewatch a couple to be sure I didn’t miss/forget something important. Thank you for your honest, straight forward hair care info. I wish I lived in Florida, I’m sure I’d be a regular client. Keep up the great work. I hope you know how much we appreciate your videos.
I'm training in my school to become a hairdresser and guess what? They have been teaching us wrong. We've always washed scalp and the entire hair. You opened my eyes to actually improve, thank you.
Thank you so much! Finally someone who doesn't yell at me to buy a bazillion products but actually finally explained to me that it wasn't the temprature of the water I was doing wrong, it was the location of the shampoo (I always did all of my hair, not just the scalp). Amazing video!
I love your straightforward message without having to shove products in our face! The technique of how we wash her scalp instead of our hair makes so much sense!
I wish that Abby Young would watch your videos!! Some of her advice has been really bad for my hair. She’s young & not a stylist. Yours, on the other hand, is spot on!!
I’m so glad that I finally found a video that effectively teaches the basics of washing! I have struggled for years with cleansing my scalp and hair and too many times I’d watch videos that tell you to “just wash it” and move on. I feel like I finally know what to do and what not to do after watching this video! Thank you so much!
Would love to see some videos regarding working with wavy, curly hair and maintaining it until that third day wash. Your information have been so valuable. The information is presented in a straightforward and educational manner. Keep up the great work!
Hi! Me again! I just wanted to come back with more thanks. I am on day 5 of not washing my hair, I’ve been following the healthy hair routine and my style still looks amazing. I might be able to go 6-7 days without washing, which is the longest I’ve ever gone and my hair is SO much healthier! I can’t believe how long my hair has looked amazing without a shower. You for real know your stuff 😭🙌
Chris, I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for changing my head washing and hair caring rutine completely with this video. And I finaly realised what to do for the benefit of my own hair, now it looks and feels amazing, and I finally realised that my hair is actually normal not oily&dry, I was just washing it the wrong way. And now I also know how to deal with my curles, they look absolutely beautiful lately and feel very soft and silky. I felt the changes actually within a week, and I'm super hyped to find out how my hair will change in a long run. Thank you again! And I wish you, your channel and your business only the best!
THANK YOU for being a no BS ETHICAL stylist expert. The amount of products some salons want to shove on your face is... terrible. Thank you for sharing the TRUTH.
Why did I discover you this late after several decades trying to take control of my frizzy hair? I am so so thankful with all of your tips, really amazing how they work! Thank you sooo much all the way from Vienna😀
Omg. Thank you sooooo much!! My hair is so damaged, it's gotten to a point of humiliation and embarrassment. I thought I tried everything & was never going to experience growth or healthy hair. I just purchased my soulmate shampoo and conditioner, the leave-in conditioner, the blowout bomb and the oil. I absolutely cannot wait to start this new routine. Thank you for educating us!! I'm so hopeful!! ❤❤❤❤
I believe Chris implicitly, he has upped my hair game hugely. My hair has never been this good, and being able to go 4 days between washes is everything ❤
I found you by accident and for some reason you've mesmerized me. I have dry, curly hair but still learned loads from you in just a few mns. I'm going to look through your vids now to see if you talk about my hair type because I know my hair (although rebellious 😁) can be in far better condition than it is now. Off to binge your vids (thanks for all the time and effort that goes into these)!
Chris you’ve changed my hair to be look and feel 1 million percent better in just one month after my 3 year struggle of my hair breaking and falling out. Cannot thank you enough already , and I share your videos daily. I have spent all evening watching your videos looking for tips to add to my new routine for my natural curls. I have started with a decent shampoo, leave in conditioner for the mids and oil on the ends. (Even though it still in a short jaw length bob) I haven’t coloured it in over a year as it’s too fragile and leave it to dry naturally to avoid extra stress with heat. Can you do a video on natural curls, how to care for them if it’s different and products to style them please. Once again thanks for your easy to digest simple tips that have already given me some confidence back. ❤ x
I got your recommended shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner for my hair type this week. It’s only been one wash but my hair is shinier, lays better, and still clean - normally it would be oily by now. I wasn’t expecting the difference to be so extreme! Thank you!
Dear Chris! European girl here with extra long hair! Thank you so much for this. Although because of financial reasons (literally jobless) I use panthene, this technique already made a huge difference for me
This is the best tutorial I've seen on hair care! You don't know until you know and thank you for sharing your expertise. I'll be watching this again as it's full of detail in order to retrain myself!
Thank you for opening people’s eyes. I was so close to getting myself some scalp serums and scrubs and start an oiling routine. You saved me a ton of money lol
I'm loving my hair!! I'm having the softest hair I ever had since forever! The only things I added to my hair routine are leave-in conditioner and oil. Which I just started 2 weeks ago. Now, I'll heed this advice for washing hair on my next wash. I'm really hoping I'll also be satisfied with my hair health once I get to master how to take care of it. I'm really tired of always getting my hair straightened out for it being unmanageable. Big thanks for sharing such knowledge with us ❤❤❤
Sir let me tell you that you saved my hair. I ve been following all your advice for about 3weeks now and I m so happy on the way my hair feels and looks.
I followed your advice on hair washing, products and blow-drying and I can't believe how many people said 'Oh love the new 2023 haircut! I never cut my hair just followed your advice. Thank you, thank you and thank you 🥰
I agree the temperature of the water doesn’t make any difference in your hair. I heard so much about it and I tried it. I washed with cold water and I don’t see any difference. Actually warm weather makes my hair feel softer. I am happy somebody tried too and noticed.
I'm just so glad it doesn't cos I don't like cold water on my head and I just couldn't make myself do it, even though many swear it seals the cuticle and makes the hair shinier I'm just like nope can't :)
For me it does make a difference. Washing with warm water and then rinse g with close to cold. Even when I blow dry it feels different. Great video. I learned that shampoo is for the scalp and is not needed for the rest of the hair. Also staying away from scalp cleansers and oils. Thank you Chris. Great video.
Wow! I have heavily bleached hair, which I love, but I was considering going back to natural because of the damage/ breakage. I've done your washing method twice now with some of your recommended products and the difference is insane! So much softer and less brittle! Thank you sir!

Your advice has given me the best hair of my life so I owe you a debt of gratitude! I now use professional products, wash twice, use a great leave in conditioner and a hair oil just on the ends. My colored, frizzy hair is now, sleek, smooth, super shiny and soft and growing out rapidly. Thanks!
Your products recommendation are so spot on. I have fine-medium, long, wavy Asian hair. My hair has always been frizzy hence I use tons of conditioner (the thicker, the better) and less shampoo every wash day, which is everyday cause it gets greasy by midday on the 2nd day. I used the conditioner from mids to ends though, leave in on for like 3 mins then rinse off. I use hair mask too 2x a week religiously because of the frizz. Since I found your videos and some other hair care videos last November or so, I decided to use your recommendations. Mine and my 9 yr old daughter’s hair (she has the fine, super tangly, uber dry, dull, almost blonde from chlorine hair) has never been better. I went from washing everyday to washing 3 days later to now 5 days later. It’s amazing! Less frizzy and hair is shinier! But the biggest hair transformation was my daughter’s. From the 30 mins brushing out of tangles every morning to less than 5 mins - no fights and no tears anymore! It is soft, very shiny, and her natural curls came back to life! And!!!!!!! Her scalp doesn’t smell like the perpetual chloritic, yucky smell it had! I now schedule her hair wash after her swimming lessons. Hair life has never been better! :) I am now using your recommended products for bond repair too :) Thank you!!!
Fascinating! I literally just washed my hair tonight and was confused by the second wash being really foamy, I’d not noticed it before but I rarely do two washes because I get faint in the shower, tonight I was feeling ok so I treated my hair to an extra wash! Suds!
Wow I’ve been a dedicated strident of hair care and have been doing a few things wrong! Thoroughly liking the reskin line you recommended on your list. You are a God Send!!! thanks for all the work you and your team have done. My hair is MUCH happier already!!
Thank you so much! I am 60 years old and found your videos while looking for relief from an itchy scalp! I spent tons of money on shampoos that did nothing but make things worse. I bought the shampoo and conditioner you suggested for my coarse hair and followed your instructions to the tee! It took 3 washes to get suds and when I was done my hair and scalp felt amazing! Thank you so much for this info! I will always wash my scalp and not my hair! You know what you’re talking about! Now I’m good for 7 days!
I personally adore a cold water blast! I don't believe for a second that it does anything to benefit my hair but I get really warm and the cold water rinse just makes my scalp feel better!
I love watching your videos. Since I started watching, I've gone to washing my hair 2x/week and have less frizz. Now, to start washing it correctly. Thanks for all the info.
I have knee-long hair, and I often do scalp washes: I put my hair in a braid, tuck it under my bra and only wash the top of my head, keeping the lengths dry. My tip for damage-free shampoo application is to dilute some shampoo in a small glass and then I use a large needle-less syringe to squirt the shampoo water mix directly onto the scalp. It looks weird but I highly recommend it.
I watched your video about your "soulmate" shampoo and bought the one recommended for my hair. I thought it was expensive (for me) but I have been totally amazed at how much longer I can go without washing my hair AND how much better my hair is! I've subscribed to your channel because I find you are honest, knowledgeable and entertaining :-) I have a young granddaughter (9 years old) with long "difficult" hair and she hates having to take care of it for many reasons. I am watching all of your videos and I truly believe what I am learning will help her immensely so thank you!!!
Hi, professor 😍 Could you make a video about colour care? I took the hair type test, according to the result I should use volumising shampoo & conditioner. But I also colour my hair and choose products for coloured hair. Which one should I prioritise? By the way, I have been following all the hair care tips and instructions you have given, and the result is INCREDIBLE. I can go much longer between washes and even if I know that my hair is dirty, it does NOT feel dirty; not oily or messy-dirty. It is so strange, I cannot even explain! You are amazing. Thank you so much!!!
I tried the Redkin volumizing shampoo and conditioner and it took out alot of color, eventhough it said it was color safe. It also stripped my mids and made them dry. I'm going back to my original salon shampoo and conditioner.
Tip: To make it easier to get the shampoo to the scalp, I started putting shampoo in a pump bottle or applicator bottle. I dilute it a bit with water so that it flows over my scalp a bit more, and then just put the tip all the way into my scalp and apply the shampoo in different places. That way you can apply the shampoo all the way in and evenly even if your hair is curly, brittle, tangled, or you just want to be able to do it faster. Also, if I let the bottle get to room temp I can feel where I'm getting the shampoo since it's a little cold, which helps with getting it everywhere. This method actually made a big difference to me, and I'm glad I've apparently been doing it right!
@@dorothyihmig5881 Do you actually feel the hair getting pulled out, or do you just find a lot of extra hair coming out after shampooing? Shampooing could just be releasing hair that has been shed since the last time you washed it, but had been sticking together due to oils or product that is now being washed away. This is especially likely if you have long hair. I don't know your situation though, but it could be a (less scary) reason for why you could see extra shedding after washing rather than the shampooing itself causing the hair to get pulled out. If you can feel it getting pulled out though, I'm not sure. Some people like using scalp massage brushes with flexible or rounded tips instead of your fingers to get the shampoo in, because you can make smaller movements while still reaching all of the scalp.
WOW following this advice for just the last few days has really shown a significant difference! And I just kept using the same drugstore products I’ve been using! Once they’re used up, I’ll look into the better, professional shampoos ;)
Ok, I came back to find this video again because DAYUM!!! I followed your advice and I noticed a huge difference to my hair within the first wash! I have super thick -wants to curl- hair that is down to my butt and this washing method has already made such a difference! Same shampoo and conditioner, I'm blown away. 🙌💯💖
Love this. It often isn't about using more, but using it correctly. I have long, thick, straight hair and when I condition, I do mid to ends for the time that it sits on my hair. Right before I rinse, I rub on top with what is already on my hair and rinse, and it is sufficient but doesn't make it get oily/heavy.
Thank you for discussing the number of times one has to wash their hair. I have always had the discussion with friends. They think I am crazy when I tell them washing your hair daily is actually damaging to the hair. And they consider me unclean that I don't wash it daily. I know it is different depending on hair type, but daily isn't good for any hair type.
Wow! I cannot believe the results I got JUST from changing how I wash and condition my hair. Following Chris's instructions, I only cleaned my scalp, and didn't put the shampoo in the rest of my hair, and then I only conditioned the mids and roots. And I am just blown away by the body in my hair today! I have never had body like this. And I haven't even replaced my cheap shampoo and conditioner yet, this was just from changing the way I shampoo and condition. I can't image how great it's going to look when I switch to a professional shampoo and conditioner.
I agree with you on the cold water myth…. I used to rinse conditioner out of my hair with cold water but I stopped doing it because it was uncomfortable. When I stopped, my hair looked the exact same, if not better 🤷♀️ 😊
Thank you for taking the time to create the step by step shampooing process! I cant believe I've been doing it all wrong for 40 years!! YFH- but now I know- thanks to you!! My HERO!
I have extremely thick blonde hair and I have struggled for years with buildup. My hairdresser gave me a tip, always always blow dry before bed. The way she explained it, your scalp hates moisture and will secrete extra oils to create a barrier, which leads to build up, which is exacerbated by going to bed on wet hair. Since I started doing this I have noticed a huge difference and my hair does not feel as heavy as it used to.
This would be a great topic but focused on people who colour their hair. I'm grey and do my roots every 5 or 6 weeks (my hair grows like a weed 😂) I find for me it's the roots that are dry and although I have healthy, thick shiny hair it would be really helpful to know how to properly care for dyed hair. Thanks for this video 🙏
Thank you for this video. I would like to know your take on the curly girl hair method on using only sulfate free shampoo and even washing your hair with conditioner only to keep away frizz.
Must watch video. I'm able to go 3,4 days between washes and I'm loving it. My hair is becoming healthy and I hope to have long healthy hair by following your advice. Thank you for the truly amazing advice
I found This video a week ago , and today remembered all the tips you mentioned to properly wash my hair..and I'M AMAZED! It felt so clean and better than before, even when I blow-dry it it turned out PERFECT, I'm really thankful 💗
This is extremely helpful because I have fine hair and use a shampoo/conditioner bar for washing! While the bar has been excellent, and I can already tell the results, there was something else I needed to add, and this was precisely it. The washing technique combined with the shampoo/conditioner I use is fantastic and makes my hair feel like I just left a hair appointment! I was a bit iffy at first with scrubbing it since I have fine, straight hair, but I haven't noticed any damage from it thus far!
I have fine, long hair which gets greasy easily. I could hardly get through 2 days without washing. But since I saw your videos about using the right shampoo, using the right technique for washing my hair and using leave-in conditioner and blow dry cream, my hair stays clean for 3 days without using dry shampoo. 😱 Not only that, but it's also healthy, soft and shiny. Yesterday my colleague told me: "Wow! Your hair looks amazing in the sunshine." I was smiling, because now I know the secret. Thank you for sharing these tips. Cheers from Hungary 😊
Mother of an 11 month old… back to work a few months ago- Chris’s tips/videos are life changing! Saves so much time not having to wash/dry/style hair daily or every other day !
Daaaaaamn!!!! Used this technique with my current shampoo and conditioner...then added oil to the ends and I can honestly say it feels so much softer already!!! After just one wash too. Thank you...thank you...THANK YOU!! Can't wait to get some quality products and get my hair to grow a lot longer than I have ever managed to grow it! Great advice 🤘🙏✌
How do you feel about putting a little hair oil on the ends before shampoo if your hair is dry? Some say it protects it from drying out during shampooing. Thanks, love your channel!
I think it does help a little because I was doing this before I followed Chris’ product recommendation and still doing it before my 9yr old daughter’s swimming lessons. I used to do this before I started using Olaplex 3 and I felt some changes on my hair but not so much difference. My main concern doing the pre-shampoo oiling is to prevent my daughter’s hair from drying out excessively from the chlorine. Just apply from mids to ends though and not on the scalp. Just a little that the hair glisten but not really drenched in oil - learnt the hard way of using less than more hahahaha took 3 shampooing before all the oil from the scalp went 😅
I used to get flakes when I shampooed my hair once with 2 pumps of ‘poo. After watching your videos, I now shampoo my hair twice with 1 pump each, and no more flakes! Same shampoo and same amount of product. 🎉🎉🎉
I've been using leave in spray conditioner, blow dry cream, and hair oil for the past two months and my long highlighted hair is looking amazing. It was pretty healthy before, but usually when its at this length (just past my bra strap) is when the ends usually don't look as great. Well I'm due for a trim in a few days (normally trim every other appointment, so every 16 weeks) and I don't even feel like my ends need a trim, they've never looked better. I think the biggest game changer is the hair oil, I use a tiny amount every day. I have also been using a scalp treatment just before washing my hair and I do really like it, I feel like it helps with removing build up off my scalp easier in the shower, I normally only wash my hair twice a week and sometimes once.
@@nidz_ I use the kerastase hair oil, it's expensive, but you only need a tiny amount...I've been using mine for four months now and have only used about 1/4 of the bottle. Also, I dont use oil on my wet hair, I use it after I blow dry as the final step and also on days I don't wash/dry my hair
@@juliannerogers5283 i have thin hair. dry scalp n hair.. Pls recommend a routine for thick healthy hair & products to be used (mention names of the products to be used)
I watched this video when it first came out and switched to the Moroccan Oil line and followed these tips and my hair is so much healthier and has grown at least 3 inches. Thank you so much!!!!
Absolutely love all this information! It’s amazing how something so basic as washing your hate can be done so differently!!! I trying all of these tips immediately!!!! ❤
Can’t thank you enough for how much you have helped my hair. I seriously damaged it and suffered terrible breakage and then I discovered your channel, and your videos have given me so much useful information, tips and reassurance. I’ve bought the products and applied the techniques and I can already see and feel a difference. Seriously thank you so so much I’ve gone from depressed about my hair to happy and confident with it and I know it’s going to go from strength to strength over time thanks to you. I so appreciate all you do and share
As a retired cosmetologist I appreciate this video. It amazes me that in school this is not something they really teach and they spent a week on just how to shampoo!
@@KarlaBedminister you mean the 2 books I had from the 90’s? Nope I kept them until they got stolen by a supposed friend one day. I remember most of the books though. Y?
This was so helpful and informative; it makes complete sense to employ these techniques, particularly pushing the shampoo into one's scalp. I can say, I have never done this; I spread shampoo all over my hair. I am washing my hair this evening and using a new shampoo infact, so looking forward to trying out this method of cleansing. It's actually a Saturday night and it occurs to me that being excited to stay home and wash my hair on a Saturday evening is a definite sign of middle age...thanks so much for uploading this.
@@Hexishu Incredible difference! First wash, hardly any suds, second wash, just enough. My hair felt truly clean and I had my 'swish' back. Do you use this method yourself? - Florence.
@@florencegaye1391 Hm, idk if it was placebo or not, but I used new shampoo aswell + conditioner and.. wow my hair didn't look damaged at all finally, it really took me one wash... I have really voluminous and thick hair, so I guess it kinda helped me (but I think it was mostly the conditioner)
Thank-you for making this video. I have been washing my hair wrong too! I used shampoo and conditioner both, roots to ends. I was afraid if I didn't use conditioner on my roots my hair would be dry. Since trying your method, my hair is so much cleaner and soft. Thank you 😊
This was fascinating. Looking forward to trying it. A couple of questions though. How does sweating affect how often I should wash my hair? Like after a workout, or, it's hot here in the summer, and my head can get sweaty just from walking the 3 minutes to the store. Another question, chlorine. I always wash my hair after a swim. And if it's summer and I swim in the morning, sometimes I end up washimg my hair twice in one day... How is this affecting my hair?
I recently got on a “hair kick” and wanted to understand why my hair is always oily after I shower. I’ve watched all your videos, went out and bought all your recommendations and my hair in 1 day is 100% better!!! So happy I found your videos! Thank you so much for making these!! ❤ Could you please make a video on the different types of curls and curling your hair. Thank you!
@@WithAngelWings Not OP, but I saw the biggest difference when I began applying olaplex no.3 to my hair after shampooing, letting it fully air dry, then rinsing it out and conditioning as normal. It's a pricey product though so I only do this about twice per month. Otherwise, I'd recommend looking at the recommended hair products linked in his description, they're all great.
@@dsmith2046 I’m so sorry, I’m really glad it helped you but it’s supposed to go on your hair post water but pre shampoo, I’m glad it works for you anyway but I’m guessing there’s a reason for that order still xx
I'd be interested to know how short hair care differs from all the advice given for those with long hair. It's not like you can follow the "don't put shampoo on all your hair" advice, and there's less risk of tangling shorter hair. Personally I prefer having short hair because it's so much less maintenance and hassle, but I can't help but be curious if there are specific things that can be done just for short hair.
If this helps: I had long hair most of my life and last year I decided finally, I wanted a Bob for the summer. Loved it! And yes the maintenance was much shorter in the shower and I used less conditioner, but basically that’s it. I have an oily head, but wash 3-4 days between shampoos. Adapted the double shampoo routine about 5 years ago. Because of my short hair I wasn’t using hair ties(I basically just throw a head band or hair clip in) I notice less hair falling out, and I didn’t need to brush much because I could just rub my hands through my short hair. So in a nutshell, I think I still use the same amount of shampoos as ever, but sense going short I used less conditioner and hair oil. And because hair styling is simpler, my hair stay healthy as it grows.💆🏻♀️🧴🫧
The wonderful thing about short hair care is that you can practically skip that advice about shampooing only your scalp! You can also skip conditioner, but that's up to preference. Short hair tends to get oilier much faster compared to long hair, since brushing to spread the natural oils throughout the hair is shorter. Of course, it can also be due to washing it too often as well since it easily gets oily. You may want to be aware of that if you're afraid of overwashing your hair!
Shorter hair is easier to maintain. I learned through trial and error that you don't need as much shampoo and products, such styling gels and hairspray, which cause the hair to become brittle. What I do is minimal compared to when I had medium length hair.
i love that he cuts the BS and tells you the inside out details I feel the genuine honesty that he just making simple because hair like life doesn't need to be that complicated I love keeping things simple being a minimalist myself saves me so much time and headache as there's no thinking to it
I found your channel recently and the first videos I watched was “Heatless 2-Minute Routine for Amazing Morning Hair” which led me to watch the “How to Property Wash Your Hair”, it’s been 2 weeks with my new routine, and I am so happy with my hair. I have fine hair, medium length, never colored. The issue I used to have was at the end of the second day, my hair was so oily and flat and had no volume. I hated it, so I washed my hair every day. Even though I used Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo, my hair was oily on the 2nd day after I washed it. After watching your video, I added Paul Mitchell clarifying shampoo to my routine and do a 2nd wash with Paul Mitchell lemon & sage shampoo, condition with Paul Mitchell conditioner, then style as I normally do. On the morning of the second day, I use dry hair shampoo as you recommended, and boy, what a game changer. My hair still looks great, not oily at all, and the curls I do the day prior still keep its shape for the most part. I have not tried to go for the 3rd day without washing. For me, only have to wash my hair every other day is already a huge win. I want to wash every other day as I like to feel the freshness of my hair. I can’t thank you enough for these helpful educational videos. Much appreciated. Please keep up the good work.
As usual, great content! Maybe you would be able to do a video on short hair, I find it hard to apply oil without putting it on my roots, so I only use the leave in. Thank you for the tips!
My hair's actually been much softer and healthier since I started pre-pooing with coconut oil which goes against this advice, but maybe it's different for black women's hair and/or my shampoo sucks. Aside from that, I either already do or will do everything he shares here. I like how he explains things. I'd love to see him make some videos specific to ethnic hair.
Maybe it's like using an oil based balm to dissolve makeup before a second cleanse which is great superior to any other method? Oil attracts oil to dissolve it. I would imagine the correct formulation would make a difference?
A lot of people with curly hair don't use shampoo at all. Curly hair is usually drier than straight hair so if you wash it too often or use a strong shampoo you can dry your hair out a lot. You may want to look up co-washing or not shampooing. Some black women I know also do what you're doing and put on a oil before washing. My hair is curly and it doesn't get dirty enough to wash until 10-12 days after the last time because my scalp doesn't make a lot of sebum (I also have dry skin). It would be nice if more mainstream hair care channels did videos on "ethnic" hair: black hair texture vs asian hair texture vs curly hair texture, etc.
I used to cold rinse, and it seemed to make my hair really shiny... but it also seemed to make me get dandruff more easily. Hot water rinse seems to avoid that.
I’ve been sharing everything I’ve learned from you with my husband and sons. Especially with my husband because he showers and washes his hair twice a day. I’ve convinced him that washing his hair that often is going to make him bald.🥴🤣
Having trichotillomania, your videos and advice have really got me motivated to take proper care of my hair and I want to get back my long hair now. Thank you so much ♡
I can't believe I have been washing so many people with cold water. Thank you so much for this video and all the information you give! I learn more and more every video. I'm going to be sharing this video with everyone!
I tried your methods to wash hair and instantly I saw the results! My hair last longer not oily + painful sensitive scalp pain just disappeared ☺️🌸 Thank you so much for this video💕
I just wanna say thank you! I follow your recommendations for a few months now and I had an appointment with my hairdresser last week. She was baffled how healthy and shiny my highlighted hair is. When washing my hair after doing highlights she said "Wooow, your hair feels sooo good!" 🤭🥰
@PokePulls3 if you are happy with your hair using pureology, then why not 😊 I use his recommendations for fine hair (redken volume shampoo and conditioner) and my scalp and hair seem to love it
Thanks to your wonderfully informative videos, my hair is finally, FINALLY retaining some length! Thank you SO much for sharing all this valuable information for free! 😊
This makes me so grateful to have grown up in a family hair salon, so many of these tips were already familiar like the shampoo on the scalp and conditioner on the ends, and it's good to know I'm doing it right :D
I was never taught any of this and I am 27. I orderd the recommended products for my hair type. I cant wait to try it out and to teach my daughter when she is old enough.
Applying shampoo :
•only wash your scalp because it will dry out your hair if you put it everywhere
•try to put the shampoo up into your scalp kind of pushing upward
•your focusing on cleaning your scalp not your hair
•never apply shampoo directly to your ends
•don’t lather up the shampoo in your hands
Suds:
•professional shampoos create suds
•when you see tons of suds your hair is clean
Two washing:
•oil is really hard to clean from a pan and it’s the same with hair so you need to wash it twice
Conditioning:
•apply to your mids and your ends
•if you have dry hair use more conditioner
•you can get away with putting a little conditioner on your scalp
•you want to keep a little bit of conditioner in your hair
•Temperature does not matter so don’t think you have to take really cold showers to wash your hair bc it makes no difference
I’m just putting stuff down I found important but if you’re reading this have a good day
You did a great job. Thank you.
Thank you so much ♥️🤩🌹👍
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!!
It's really a shame that something so basic as properly washing and conditioning hair isn't taught to us from very young.
I totally agree.
It's also a big load of tosh, but ok
I had grotesquely neglectful parents. I was never taught.
@@elizabethhouser3357 But they might not have known. Most people don't. So much of what we are told by companies are lies geared to sucker us into buying their products that masquerades as science and knowledge, so why would anyone question, especially if they didn't know what questions to ask. Even in hair school they don't teach us a lot of what we really need to know.
@@DanteVelasquez I was told rinsing out my conditioner in dirty bath water was good enough. I didn’t learn differently until my forties when I had a stylist I trusted enough to tell the steps of my washing. I always had oily hair. There are other grotesque overt neglectful things from my parents. My parents knew what they were neglecting, it was a choice. I understand why, but I don’t condone what they did.
It is so refreshing to listen to a hair dresser who isn’t interested in trying to push a suite of products onto you to achieve an outcome and actually shares techniques that WORK.
I didn’t know how to properly wash my hair before washing this video. After I wash my hair, my scalp usually still wouldn’t feel clean and I could feel the “waxy” build-up still on my scalp. If I went to my local salon, they would wash it and my scalp would feel amazing. I could never figure out what I was doing wrong and, when I asked them, they just sold me products they had and insisted that was the cause, and yet my results at home would still end up being the same.
I came across this video the other day, and tried washing my hair following the techniques in the video yesterday and, oh my God, the result was night and day compared to what I normally had as a result. This time my scalp was actually CLEAN. No build-up or ‘waxy’ residue feeling - it felt exactly the same way as if I had my hair washed by a hair dresser (minus the glorious massage feeling you get if someone else does it for you).
This actually works, and your entire explanation about shampooing without lathering in hands and it will lather in your hair once it’s clean was spot on - this is exactly what happened for me. Thank you so much for being honest and sharing your knowledge without any expectation to get something from those who watch (like buying one of your products, etc.) - if I lived in your area, I’d absolutely become a client just based on your honesty and advice that is genuine and WORKS.
I relate to this so much! My scalp felt clean after leaving the salon but I just couldn’t get it right at home when I did it myself. I’m in my 20’s and felt embarrassed that something so normal is something I still struggled with as an adult. Thank you for sharing this, I’m right there with you!
@@lemonberrytea Give his technique a go and I promise you that issue will be a thing of the past. That white build-up waxy feeling that you get and can find under your nails after shampooing to check if your scalp is clean won't happen anymore if you do it the way he tells you. Wash your hair tonight following his steps and let me know how you go! I will be looking forward and excited to hear your success of being able to finally crush your hair washing struggle! You've got this!
"isn't interested in trying to push a suite of products onto you" did you not hear the part where he literally said ONLY buy professional salon shampoos?
@@dietotaku that's only two products as opposed to a litany of 20 products. I buy my shampoo and conditioner from Sally Beauty for 4/$20 so it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. The shampoo only suds after the second go around.😊
@@dietotaku that's 2 products that everyone needs...not a "suite" of them as the OP stated. Recommending that you buy professional products is not the same thing
I've started doing this months ago and my hair has grown CONSIDERABLY longer and faster now that I only wash my scalp. BLESS YOUR HEART CHRIS!!! Thank you so much for your no b.s way of teaching how to actually take care of our hair!!!
You said you started washing your scalp only and not your hair. I wanna know does it make your hair clean properly?
@@kookyshooky8897 yes because when you start washing out the suds from you scalp goes down the rest of your hair. not sure how to explain it properly but yes it does. and any product that you put in your hair should come out when introduced to water.
@@dsymonkeyhow do you wash it after the pool/beach?
@@freenow.ৎI heard that you should wet your hair first before you dive in to the pool because when the bleach reaches your hair, it becomes dry ig.
@@freenow.ৎ mine is just the regular shower wash.
Mate. Never been able to go more than 2 days without washing until i found your videos. Everyone that said you need to 'train your hair' not to need more than a once-weekly wash meant my few attempts meant a shameful greaseball on my head until I gave up.
You fixed it with one video. So thanks from Australia ❤
One tip is also: notice how you apply things out of pure muscle memory. I was confused as to why the right side of my hair was way more damaged and frizzy all the time. I figured out it was because I apply my conditioner a lot more generously to my left side - by the time I get to the right side, I wash it off right away. The poor right side was getting totally ripped off! Just thought that was interesting
Lmao I have the exact same problem with my right side being weirdly frizzy. Will definitely look out for my habits in the future
This is why I put conditioner on both of my hands and do a quick swipe on both sides to coat them before massaging it in.
Ususally that side is more damaged what you sleep on.
Saaameee
I was not brushing on the left front. My hair was thin. I started brushing, it thickened up.
I am 57 years old and have had long hair for most of my life. This video has been an eye opener, to say the least. Blunt, straight forward and easy to grasp, no wishy washy garble. Thank you Chris, off to check out the shampoo/conditioner and hope I can get it in the UK. 😊😊
From one Sally to another, I’m 59 & until recently had thigh length hair..I stupidly cut it off to chest length..it suits me but golly do I miss it😮
Do his products list thingy. I did. I have long hair and the improvement is incredible. Mine is long, thick and coarse.
Olaplex and Morrocan Oil products. I alternate and use oil on the ends daily 🙂
thank you for busting the cold water myth!!! my hair is growing back slowly and surely after I started fallowing your advice! Thank You so so much for being here! I wish I can find someone to take care of my hair with as much knowledge as you have!
Yes! That's amazing to hear 🙏 Happy I could help
I like the cold rinse after I rinse out the conditioner. My hair is shiny.
Yea I always use cold water to spread my leave in after I'm done washing it. I wouldn't say it's a "myth," the quality of my hair really does improve with a post-wash cold water rinse.
@@beverly2643Since, he didn't ask for your advice, it's unsolicited advice!!! Since you seem to NOT understand, it's rude & unasked for!!! Please delete this comment!
A stylist once told me to put shampoo, starting at the ends of my hair and work my way up 🤷🏻♀️
Omg thank you for debunking the cold water myth. I’ve been on the fence about trying it in my shower because it seems SO uncomfortable. Thank you!
Me so glad to hear it's not necessary 😂🎉
Use normal room temperature water. Too much hot water will cause scalp inflammation. Hair will fall out. So be careful.
@@nha3920what if u do like a little bit hot but not hot hot just between hot and warm
My hairstylist actually suggested to do the first wash with a drugstore shampoo to get the first line of dirt and oil out of your hair, and then go in with a professional shampoo for the second time. And I can tell you that has actually saved me a lot of money. I was using the professional shampoo only and I went through it so quickly 😅
I do like your tip about not lathering the shampoo in your hands though, didn't know that so def gonna try it out.
And lastly another tip my stylist gave me: if you have a lot of hair it can get difficult to actually get to your scalp on top, so flipping your head upside down and pushing your fingers through the strands onto the scalp can make it easier to reach.
Hope this helps some people and loved the video!
I got myself a small bottle of expensive shampoo, and started doing the same thing. Cheap nettle shampoo first, then my expensive one lol
thanks for the tip!
Thanks I’ll have to try the second tip
I had to do the flip head upside down trick too
That smart!
I just came across you channel about 2 weeks ago. I have very fine thin hair. My hair has never looked better. I watched your videos for “new to the channel”, then I’ve binge watched all the other ones. And occasionally I’ll rewatch a couple to be sure I didn’t miss/forget something important.
Thank you for your honest, straight forward hair care info. I wish I lived in Florida, I’m sure I’d be a regular client. Keep up the great work. I hope you know how much we appreciate your videos.
My comment is almost word for word the same❤️
I'm training in my school to become a hairdresser and guess what? They have been teaching us wrong. We've always washed scalp and the entire hair. You opened my eyes to actually improve, thank you.
Thank you so much! Finally someone who doesn't yell at me to buy a bazillion products but actually finally explained to me that it wasn't the temprature of the water I was doing wrong, it was the location of the shampoo (I always did all of my hair, not just the scalp). Amazing video!
I love your straightforward message without having to shove products in our face! The technique of how we wash her scalp instead of our hair makes so much sense!
He's promoting redkens volume,purelogy leave in n olaplex oil...i guess no one is noticing..🤣🤣
I wish that Abby Young would watch your videos!! Some of her advice has been really bad for my hair. She’s young & not a stylist. Yours, on the other hand, is spot on!!
I saw this righ after i washed my hair
same wth 😭
Lol
Saw this before whoooop😂
Same 😂
🙋🏼♀️ same
I’m so glad that I finally found a video that effectively teaches the basics of washing! I have struggled for years with cleansing my scalp and hair and too many times I’d watch videos that tell you to “just wash it” and move on. I feel like I finally know what to do and what not to do after watching this video! Thank you so much!
Would love to see some videos regarding working with wavy, curly hair and maintaining it until that third day wash. Your information have been so valuable. The information is presented in a straightforward and educational manner. Keep up the great work!
Hi! Me again! I just wanted to come back with more thanks. I am on day 5 of not washing my hair, I’ve been following the healthy hair routine and my style still looks amazing. I might be able to go 6-7 days without washing, which is the longest I’ve ever gone and my hair is SO much healthier! I can’t believe how long my hair has looked amazing without a shower. You for real know your stuff 😭🙌
Chris, I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for changing my head washing and hair caring rutine completely with this video. And I finaly realised what to do for the benefit of my own hair, now it looks and feels amazing, and I finally realised that my hair is actually normal not oily&dry, I was just washing it the wrong way. And now I also know how to deal with my curles, they look absolutely beautiful lately and feel very soft and silky. I felt the changes actually within a week, and I'm super hyped to find out how my hair will change in a long run. Thank you again! And I wish you, your channel and your business only the best!
Thank you, I’ve been following your advice for 6months now and it’s the best my hair has ever been 👌🏼
THANK YOU for being a no BS ETHICAL stylist expert. The amount of products some salons want to shove on your face is... terrible. Thank you for sharing the TRUTH.
Why did I discover you this late after several decades trying to take control of my frizzy hair? I am so so thankful with all of your tips, really amazing how they work! Thank you sooo much all the way from Vienna😀
I like how we all listen to hair advice given by a guy that doesnt even have any hair.
Love the videos!!!
Appreciate you! 🙏
HAHAA THAT WHAT I THOUGHT
Lol😂😂😂
That's exactly what I was thinking 😂
@@mysticthehorselover5979 me too!
Omg. Thank you sooooo much!! My hair is so damaged, it's gotten to a point of humiliation and embarrassment. I thought I tried everything & was never going to experience growth or healthy hair. I just purchased my soulmate shampoo and conditioner, the leave-in conditioner, the blowout bomb and the oil. I absolutely cannot wait to start this new routine. Thank you for educating us!! I'm so hopeful!! ❤❤❤❤
I believe Chris implicitly, he has upped my hair game hugely. My hair has never been this good, and being able to go 4 days between washes is everything ❤
I found you by accident and for some reason you've mesmerized me. I have dry, curly hair but still learned loads from you in just a few mns. I'm going to look through your vids now to see if you talk about my hair type because I know my hair (although rebellious 😁) can be in far better condition than it is now. Off to binge your vids (thanks for all the time and effort that goes into these)!
Chris you’ve changed my hair to be look and feel 1 million percent better in just one month after my 3 year struggle of my hair breaking and falling out. Cannot thank you enough already
, and I share your videos daily. I have spent all evening watching your videos looking for tips to add to my new routine for my natural curls. I have started with a decent shampoo, leave in conditioner for the mids and oil on the ends. (Even though it still in a short jaw length bob) I haven’t coloured it in over a year as it’s too fragile and leave it to dry naturally to avoid extra stress with heat. Can you do a video on natural curls, how to care for them if it’s different and products to style them please. Once again thanks for your easy to digest simple tips that have already given me some confidence back. ❤ x
I got your recommended shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner for my hair type this week. It’s only been one wash but my hair is shinier, lays better, and still clean - normally it would be oily by now. I wasn’t expecting the difference to be so extreme! Thank you!
What were these products?
Dear Chris! European girl here with extra long hair! Thank you so much for this. Although because of financial reasons (literally jobless) I use panthene, this technique already made a huge difference for me
I love tuning in for your hair care education! Would you please consider doing series on short hair styling and care 🙏
This is the best tutorial I've seen on hair care! You don't know until you know and thank you for sharing your expertise. I'll be watching this again as it's full of detail in order to retrain myself!
Thank you for opening people’s eyes. I was so close to getting myself some scalp serums and scrubs and start an oiling routine. You saved me a ton of money lol
I'm loving my hair!! I'm having the softest hair I ever had since forever! The only things I added to my hair routine are leave-in conditioner and oil. Which I just started 2 weeks ago.
Now, I'll heed this advice for washing hair on my next wash. I'm really hoping I'll also be satisfied with my hair health once I get to master how to take care of it. I'm really tired of always getting my hair straightened out for it being unmanageable.
Big thanks for sharing such knowledge with us ❤❤❤
Thanks for mentioning non colored hair. I’ve notice most hair products are dedicated/advertised to colored hair & not many for natural hair
Sir let me tell you that you saved my hair. I ve been following all your advice for about 3weeks now and I m so happy on the way my hair feels and looks.
I followed your advice on hair washing, products and blow-drying and I can't believe how many people said 'Oh love the new 2023 haircut! I never cut my hair just followed your advice. Thank you, thank you and thank you 🥰
I agree the temperature of the water doesn’t make any difference in your hair. I heard so much about it and I tried it. I washed with cold water and I don’t see any difference. Actually warm weather makes my hair feel softer. I am happy somebody tried too and noticed.
You're totally right. And you're not alone :)
I'm just so glad it doesn't cos I don't like cold water on my head and I just couldn't make myself do it, even though many swear it seals the cuticle and makes the hair shinier I'm just like nope can't :)
For me it does make a difference. Washing with warm water and then rinse g with close to cold. Even when I blow dry it feels different. Great video. I learned that shampoo is for the scalp and is not needed for the rest of the hair. Also staying away from scalp cleansers and oils. Thank you Chris. Great video.
Wow! I have heavily bleached hair, which I love, but I was considering going back to natural because of the damage/ breakage. I've done your washing method twice now with some of your recommended products and the difference is insane! So much softer and less brittle! Thank you sir!

Recap by Tammy AI
Your advice has given me the best hair of my life so I owe you a debt of gratitude! I now use professional products, wash twice, use a great leave in conditioner and a hair oil just on the ends. My colored, frizzy hair is now, sleek, smooth, super shiny and soft and growing out rapidly. Thanks!
Your products recommendation are so spot on. I have fine-medium, long, wavy Asian hair. My hair has always been frizzy hence I use tons of conditioner (the thicker, the better) and less shampoo every wash day, which is everyday cause it gets greasy by midday on the 2nd day. I used the conditioner from mids to ends though, leave in on for like 3 mins then rinse off. I use hair mask too 2x a week religiously because of the frizz.
Since I found your videos and some other hair care videos last November or so, I decided to use your recommendations. Mine and my 9 yr old daughter’s hair (she has the fine, super tangly, uber dry, dull, almost blonde from chlorine hair) has never been better. I went from washing everyday to washing 3 days later to now 5 days later. It’s amazing! Less frizzy and hair is shinier! But the biggest hair transformation was my daughter’s. From the 30 mins brushing out of tangles every morning to less than 5 mins - no fights and no tears anymore! It is soft, very shiny, and her natural curls came back to life! And!!!!!!! Her scalp doesn’t smell like the perpetual chloritic, yucky smell it had! I now schedule her hair wash after her swimming lessons. Hair life has never been better! :)
I am now using your recommended products for bond repair too :)
Thank you!!!
Fascinating! I literally just washed my hair tonight and was confused by the second wash being really foamy, I’d not noticed it before but I rarely do two washes because I get faint in the shower, tonight I was feeling ok so I treated my hair to an extra wash! Suds!
Wow I’ve been a dedicated strident of hair care and have been doing a few things wrong! Thoroughly liking the reskin line you recommended on your list. You are a God Send!!! thanks for all the work you and your team have done. My hair is MUCH happier already!!
Thank you so much! I am 60 years old and found your videos while looking for relief from an itchy scalp! I spent tons of money on shampoos that did nothing but make things worse. I bought the shampoo and conditioner you suggested for my coarse hair and followed your instructions to the tee! It took 3 washes to get suds and when I was done my hair and scalp felt amazing! Thank you so much for this info! I will always wash my scalp and not my hair! You know what you’re talking about! Now I’m good for 7 days!
I personally adore a cold water blast! I don't believe for a second that it does anything to benefit my hair but I get really warm and the cold water rinse just makes my scalp feel better!
I love watching your videos. Since I started watching, I've gone to washing my hair 2x/week and have less frizz. Now, to start washing it correctly. Thanks for all the info.
Amazing! That's the first step. Your hair will only get better from here 👍
I have knee-long hair, and I often do scalp washes: I put my hair in a braid, tuck it under my bra and only wash the top of my head, keeping the lengths dry. My tip for damage-free shampoo application is to dilute some shampoo in a small glass and then I use a large needle-less syringe to squirt the shampoo water mix directly onto the scalp. It looks weird but I highly recommend it.
I watched your video about your "soulmate" shampoo and bought the one recommended for my hair. I thought it was expensive (for me) but I have been totally amazed at how much longer I can go without washing my hair AND how much better my hair is! I've subscribed to your channel because I find you are honest, knowledgeable and entertaining :-) I have a young granddaughter (9 years old) with long "difficult" hair and she hates having to take care of it for many reasons. I am watching all of your videos and I truly believe what I am learning will help her immensely so thank you!!!
I LOVE THIS BLOWOUT PROFFESOR and HIS CHANNEL!!!!! THANK YOU
I have to admit, I have been following your advice on shampooing and it has really made a difference!
Hi, professor 😍 Could you make a video about colour care? I took the hair type test, according to the result I should use volumising shampoo & conditioner. But I also colour my hair and choose products for coloured hair. Which one should I prioritise? By the way, I have been following all the hair care tips and instructions you have given, and the result is INCREDIBLE. I can go much longer between washes and even if I know that my hair is dirty, it does NOT feel dirty; not oily or messy-dirty. It is so strange, I cannot even explain! You are amazing. Thank you so much!!!
👍
I tried the Redkin volumizing shampoo and conditioner and it took out alot of color, eventhough it said it was color safe. It also stripped my mids and made them dry. I'm going back to my original salon shampoo and conditioner.
@@mbgardnerb454 did you use leave in conditioner?🙄
Yes. That remained consistent.
@@mbgardnerb454 I dye my grey hair black and use the same shampoo and conditioner, and Redken One United leave in, my colour stays put. 🤷🏻🤔
Tip: To make it easier to get the shampoo to the scalp, I started putting shampoo in a pump bottle or applicator bottle. I dilute it a bit with water so that it flows over my scalp a bit more, and then just put the tip all the way into my scalp and apply the shampoo in different places. That way you can apply the shampoo all the way in and evenly even if your hair is curly, brittle, tangled, or you just want to be able to do it faster. Also, if I let the bottle get to room temp I can feel where I'm getting the shampoo since it's a little cold, which helps with getting it everywhere. This method actually made a big difference to me, and I'm glad I've apparently been doing it right!
Great tip!!! 👍
Smart thinking !
Please tell me how to massage scalp while shampooing without causing tugging the hair out. Mine is long but falling out a lot. Thanx
@@dorothyihmig5881 Do you actually feel the hair getting pulled out, or do you just find a lot of extra hair coming out after shampooing? Shampooing could just be releasing hair that has been shed since the last time you washed it, but had been sticking together due to oils or product that is now being washed away. This is especially likely if you have long hair. I don't know your situation though, but it could be a (less scary) reason for why you could see extra shedding after washing rather than the shampooing itself causing the hair to get pulled out.
If you can feel it getting pulled out though, I'm not sure. Some people like using scalp massage brushes with flexible or rounded tips instead of your fingers to get the shampoo in, because you can make smaller movements while still reaching all of the scalp.
WOW following this advice for just the last few days has really shown a significant difference! And I just kept using the same drugstore products I’ve been using!
Once they’re used up, I’ll look into the better, professional shampoos ;)
Ok, I came back to find this video again because DAYUM!!! I followed your advice and I noticed a huge difference to my hair within the first wash! I have super thick -wants to curl- hair that is down to my butt and this washing method has already made such a difference! Same shampoo and conditioner, I'm blown away. 🙌💯💖
Love this. It often isn't about using more, but using it correctly.
I have long, thick, straight hair and when I condition, I do mid to ends for the time that it sits on my hair. Right before I rinse, I rub on top with what is already on my hair and rinse, and it is sufficient but doesn't make it get oily/heavy.
Thank you for discussing the number of times one has to wash their hair. I have always had the discussion with friends. They think I am crazy when I tell them washing your hair daily is actually damaging to the hair. And they consider me unclean that I don't wash it daily. I know it is different depending on hair type, but daily isn't good for any hair type.
Wow! I cannot believe the results I got JUST from changing how I wash and condition my hair. Following Chris's instructions, I only cleaned my scalp, and didn't put the shampoo in the rest of my hair, and then I only conditioned the mids and roots. And I am just blown away by the body in my hair today! I have never had body like this. And I haven't even replaced my cheap shampoo and conditioner yet, this was just from changing the way I shampoo and condition. I can't image how great it's going to look when I switch to a professional shampoo and conditioner.
I agree with you on the cold water myth…. I used to rinse conditioner out of my hair with cold water but I stopped doing it because it was uncomfortable. When I stopped, my hair looked the exact same, if not better 🤷♀️ 😊
Thank you for taking the time to create the step by step shampooing process! I cant believe I've been doing it all wrong for 40 years!! YFH- but now I know- thanks to you!! My HERO!
I have extremely thick blonde hair and I have struggled for years with buildup. My hairdresser gave me a tip, always always blow dry before bed. The way she explained it, your scalp hates moisture and will secrete extra oils to create a barrier, which leads to build up, which is exacerbated by going to bed on wet hair. Since I started doing this I have noticed a huge difference and my hair does not feel as heavy as it used to.
This would be a great topic but focused on people who colour their hair. I'm grey and do my roots every 5 or 6 weeks (my hair grows like a weed 😂) I find for me it's the roots that are dry and although I have healthy, thick shiny hair it would be really helpful to know how to properly care for dyed hair. Thanks for this video 🙏
Thank you for this video.
I would like to know your take on the curly girl hair method on using only sulfate free shampoo and even washing your hair with conditioner only to keep away frizz.
This would be helpful
Must watch video. I'm able to go 3,4 days between washes and I'm loving it. My hair is becoming healthy and I hope to have long healthy hair by following your advice. Thank you for the truly amazing advice
I found This video a week ago , and today remembered all the tips you mentioned to properly wash my hair..and I'M AMAZED! It felt so clean and better than before, even when I blow-dry it it turned out PERFECT, I'm really thankful 💗
This is extremely helpful because I have fine hair and use a shampoo/conditioner bar for washing! While the bar has been excellent, and I can already tell the results, there was something else I needed to add, and this was precisely it. The washing technique combined with the shampoo/conditioner I use is fantastic and makes my hair feel like I just left a hair appointment! I was a bit iffy at first with scrubbing it since I have fine, straight hair, but I haven't noticed any damage from it thus far!
what shampoo bar do you use?
@@geenskeen I use Ethique volumizing shampoo bar for fine hair
I have fine, long hair which gets greasy easily. I could hardly get through 2 days without washing. But since I saw your videos about using the right shampoo, using the right technique for washing my hair and using leave-in conditioner and blow dry cream, my hair stays clean for 3 days without using dry shampoo. 😱 Not only that, but it's also healthy, soft and shiny. Yesterday my colleague told me: "Wow! Your hair looks amazing in the sunshine." I was smiling, because now I know the secret. Thank you for sharing these tips. Cheers from Hungary 😊
Hi Kata! I have the same hair type so I feel your pain! What shampoo do you use?
@@ladyblue4180 I use Redken Volume Injection.
I have this type of hair, too. Extremely greasy, looks wet after a 2 days. Have you tried the Redken Cream Cleanser he recommends?
@@Susan1937Fisher no, not that one.
Mother of an 11 month old… back to work a few months ago- Chris’s tips/videos are life changing! Saves so much time not having to wash/dry/style hair daily or every other day !
I'm just now learning this. Tried it on my husband's hair, and this is definitely better. Will be teaching my kids this. Thank you so much!
Daaaaaamn!!!! Used this technique with my current shampoo and conditioner...then added oil to the ends and I can honestly say it feels so much softer already!!! After just one wash too. Thank you...thank you...THANK YOU!! Can't wait to get some quality products and get my hair to grow a lot longer than I have ever managed to grow it! Great advice 🤘🙏✌
How do you feel about putting a little hair oil on the ends before shampoo if your hair is dry? Some say it protects it from drying out during shampooing. Thanks, love your channel!
I think it does help a little because I was doing this before I followed Chris’ product recommendation and still doing it before my 9yr old daughter’s swimming lessons. I used to do this before I started using Olaplex 3 and I felt some changes on my hair but not so much difference. My main concern doing the pre-shampoo oiling is to prevent my daughter’s hair from drying out excessively from the chlorine. Just apply from mids to ends though and not on the scalp. Just a little that the hair glisten but not really drenched in oil - learnt the hard way of using less than more hahahaha took 3 shampooing before all the oil from the scalp went 😅
I used to get flakes when I shampooed my hair once with 2 pumps of ‘poo. After watching your videos, I now shampoo my hair twice with 1 pump each, and no more flakes! Same shampoo and same amount of product. 🎉🎉🎉
I've been using leave in spray conditioner, blow dry cream, and hair oil for the past two months and my long highlighted hair is looking amazing. It was pretty healthy before, but usually when its at this length (just past my bra strap) is when the ends usually don't look as great. Well I'm due for a trim in a few days (normally trim every other appointment, so every 16 weeks) and I don't even feel like my ends need a trim, they've never looked better. I think the biggest game changer is the hair oil, I use a tiny amount every day. I have also been using a scalp treatment just before washing my hair and I do really like it, I feel like it helps with removing build up off my scalp easier in the shower, I normally only wash my hair twice a week and sometimes once.
Ur hair oil?
@@nidz_ I use the kerastase hair oil, it's expensive, but you only need a tiny amount...I've been using mine for four months now and have only used about 1/4 of the bottle. Also, I dont use oil on my wet hair, I use it after I blow dry as the final step and also on days I don't wash/dry my hair
@@juliannerogers5283 i have thin hair. dry scalp n hair..
Pls recommend a routine for thick healthy hair
& products to be used (mention names of the products to be used)
I watched this video when it first came out and switched to the Moroccan Oil line and followed these tips and my hair is so much healthier and has grown at least 3 inches. Thank you so much!!!!
Absolutely love all this information! It’s amazing how something so basic as washing your hate can be done so differently!!! I trying all of these tips immediately!!!! ❤
Can’t thank you enough for how much you have helped my hair. I seriously damaged it and suffered terrible breakage and then I discovered your channel, and your videos have given me so much useful information, tips and reassurance. I’ve bought the products and applied the techniques and I can already see and feel a difference. Seriously thank you so so much I’ve gone from depressed about my hair to happy and confident with it and I know it’s going to go from strength to strength over time thanks to you. I so appreciate all you do and share
Are you using the redken shampoo and conditioner?
@@pokepulls3 I’m actually now using the Redkin Acidic Bonding shampoo and conditioner and loving them
As a retired cosmetologist I appreciate this video. It amazes me that in school this is not something they really teach and they spent a week on just how to shampoo!
Goes to show you can't trust school and their information. Common sense and experience always trumps knowledge...You can't learn everything at school.
@@KarlaBedminister truth. You can always learn more in the practical and with hands on salon experience.
@@RebeccaLyn Did you give away your books, etc. that you used?
@@KarlaBedminister you mean the 2 books I had from the 90’s? Nope I kept them until they got stolen by a supposed friend one day. I remember most of the books though. Y?
This was so helpful and informative; it makes complete sense to employ these techniques, particularly pushing the shampoo into one's scalp. I can say, I have never done this; I spread shampoo all over my hair. I am washing my hair this evening and using a new shampoo infact, so looking forward to trying out this method of cleansing. It's actually a Saturday night and it occurs to me that being excited to stay home and wash my hair on a Saturday evening is a definite sign of middle age...thanks so much for uploading this.
how was it?
@@Hexishu Incredible difference! First wash, hardly any suds, second wash, just enough. My hair felt truly clean and I had my 'swish' back. Do you use this method yourself? - Florence.
@@florencegaye1391 Hm, idk if it was placebo or not, but I used new shampoo aswell + conditioner and.. wow my hair didn't look damaged at all finally, it really took me one wash... I have really voluminous and thick hair, so I guess it kinda helped me (but I think it was mostly the conditioner)
Thank-you for making this video. I have been washing my hair wrong too! I used shampoo and conditioner both, roots to ends. I was afraid if I didn't use conditioner on my roots my hair would be dry. Since trying your method, my hair is so much cleaner and soft. Thank you 😊
Please do a video for shampooing color treated hair.
This was fascinating. Looking forward to trying it.
A couple of questions though. How does sweating affect how often I should wash my hair? Like after a workout, or, it's hot here in the summer, and my head can get sweaty just from walking the 3 minutes to the store.
Another question, chlorine. I always wash my hair after a swim. And if it's summer and I swim in the morning, sometimes I end up washimg my hair twice in one day... How is this affecting my hair?
I recently got on a “hair kick” and wanted to understand why my hair is always oily after I shower. I’ve watched all your videos, went out and bought all your recommendations and my hair in 1 day is 100% better!!! So happy I found your videos! Thank you so much for making these!! ❤
Could you please make a video on the different types of curls and curling your hair.
Thank you!
Which products have helped you?
@@WithAngelWings Not OP, but I saw the biggest difference when I began applying olaplex no.3 to my hair after shampooing, letting it fully air dry, then rinsing it out and conditioning as normal. It's a pricey product though so I only do this about twice per month. Otherwise, I'd recommend looking at the recommended hair products linked in his description, they're all great.
@@dsmith2046 I’m so sorry, I’m really glad it helped you but it’s supposed to go on your hair post water but pre shampoo, I’m glad it works for you anyway but I’m guessing there’s a reason for that order still xx
I'd be interested to know how short hair care differs from all the advice given for those with long hair. It's not like you can follow the "don't put shampoo on all your hair" advice, and there's less risk of tangling shorter hair. Personally I prefer having short hair because it's so much less maintenance and hassle, but I can't help but be curious if there are specific things that can be done just for short hair.
If this helps: I had long hair most of my life and last year I decided finally, I wanted a Bob for the summer. Loved it! And yes the maintenance was much shorter in the shower and I used less conditioner, but basically that’s it. I have an oily head, but wash 3-4 days between shampoos. Adapted the double shampoo routine about 5 years ago. Because of my short hair I wasn’t using hair ties(I basically just throw a head band or hair clip in) I notice less hair falling out, and I didn’t need to brush much because I could just rub my hands through my short hair.
So in a nutshell, I think I still use the same amount of shampoos as ever, but sense going short I used less conditioner and hair oil. And because hair styling is simpler, my hair stay healthy as it grows.💆🏻♀️🧴🫧
The wonderful thing about short hair care is that you can practically skip that advice about shampooing only your scalp! You can also skip conditioner, but that's up to preference. Short hair tends to get oilier much faster compared to long hair, since brushing to spread the natural oils throughout the hair is shorter. Of course, it can also be due to washing it too often as well since it easily gets oily. You may want to be aware of that if you're afraid of overwashing your hair!
Shorter hair is easier to maintain. I learned through trial and error that you don't need as much shampoo and products, such styling gels and hairspray, which cause the hair to become brittle. What I do is minimal compared to when I had medium length hair.
i love that he cuts the BS and tells you the inside out details I feel the genuine honesty that he just making simple because hair like life doesn't need to be that complicated I love keeping things simple being a minimalist myself saves me so much time and headache as there's no thinking to it
I found your channel recently and the first videos I watched was “Heatless 2-Minute Routine for Amazing Morning Hair” which led me to watch the “How to Property Wash Your Hair”, it’s been 2 weeks with my new routine, and I am so happy with my hair. I have fine hair, medium length, never colored. The issue I used to have was at the end of the second day, my hair was so oily and flat and had no volume. I hated it, so I washed my hair every day. Even though I used Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo, my hair was oily on the 2nd day after I washed it. After watching your video, I added Paul Mitchell clarifying shampoo to my routine and do a 2nd wash with Paul Mitchell lemon & sage shampoo, condition with Paul Mitchell conditioner, then style as I normally do. On the morning of the second day, I use dry hair shampoo as you recommended, and boy, what a game changer. My hair still looks great, not oily at all, and the curls I do the day prior still keep its shape for the most part. I have not tried to go for the 3rd day without washing. For me, only have to wash my hair every other day is already a huge win. I want to wash every other day as I like to feel the freshness of my hair. I can’t thank you enough for these helpful educational videos. Much appreciated. Please keep up the good work.
As usual, great content! Maybe you would be able to do a video on short hair, I find it hard to apply oil without putting it on my roots, so I only use the leave in. Thank you for the tips!
My hair's actually been much softer and healthier since I started pre-pooing with coconut oil which goes against this advice, but maybe it's different for black women's hair and/or my shampoo sucks. Aside from that, I either already do or will do everything he shares here. I like how he explains things. I'd love to see him make some videos specific to ethnic hair.
Maybe it's like using an oil based balm to dissolve makeup before a second cleanse which is great superior to any other method? Oil attracts oil to dissolve it. I would imagine the correct formulation would make a difference?
A lot of people with curly hair don't use shampoo at all. Curly hair is usually drier than straight hair so if you wash it too often or use a strong shampoo you can dry your hair out a lot. You may want to look up co-washing or not shampooing. Some black women I know also do what you're doing and put on a oil before washing. My hair is curly and it doesn't get dirty enough to wash until 10-12 days after the last time because my scalp doesn't make a lot of sebum (I also have dry skin). It would be nice if more mainstream hair care channels did videos on "ethnic" hair: black hair texture vs asian hair texture vs curly hair texture, etc.
@@jaebrodsky Thanks for the advice!
@@lanaj1107 That makes sense. My shampoo is cheap, so I probably need to bite the bullet and buy the good stuff.
I have been doing this to help with hair growth. I have coarse, thick, wavy/curly hair and my scalp has been thanking me for doing this! 🙌👏
I used to cold rinse, and it seemed to make my hair really shiny... but it also seemed to make me get dandruff more easily. Hot water rinse seems to avoid that.
Gracias por tus consejos, me an servido de maravilla! ❤
Thanks so much for the detailed explanations. That's very helpful.
I’ve been sharing everything I’ve learned from you with my husband and sons. Especially with my husband because he showers and washes his hair twice a day. I’ve convinced him that washing his hair that often is going to make him bald.🥴🤣
TWICE A DAYYY?!?!? YIKESSSS!
my dad used to do that... he is so close to being bald now.
I am vindicated! I love scalding hot water. However I enjoy the cold water in my head when it does not touch my body!
Once a day is fine
@@di3486 I wouldn’t say that ur scalp and hair is already naturally dry and now ur washing once a day
Gosh, that video was exactly what I needed!! Super practical, super clear. Thank you so much 😊
Having trichotillomania, your videos and advice have really got me motivated to take proper care of my hair and I want to get back my long hair now. Thank you so much ♡
Oof, I’ve had trich my entire life. Fortunately, I only pull behind my ears, so I don’t have obvious bald patches, just really thin hair.
I can't believe I have been washing so many people with cold water. Thank you so much for this video and all the information you give! I learn more and more every video. I'm going to be sharing this video with everyone!
I tried your methods to wash hair and instantly I saw the results! My hair last longer not oily + painful sensitive scalp pain just disappeared ☺️🌸 Thank you so much for this video💕
I just wanna say thank you! I follow your recommendations for a few months now and I had an appointment with my hairdresser last week. She was baffled how healthy and shiny my highlighted hair is. When washing my hair after doing highlights she said "Wooow, your hair feels sooo good!" 🤭🥰
Are you using his redken shampoo recommendations? I'm wondering if I can get away with using my pureology instead 😅
@PokePulls3 if you are happy with your hair using pureology, then why not 😊 I use his recommendations for fine hair (redken volume shampoo and conditioner) and my scalp and hair seem to love it
Thanks to your wonderfully informative videos, my hair is finally, FINALLY retaining some length! Thank you SO much for sharing all this valuable information for free! 😊
I'm bald, why tf am I watching this video?
Someday you'll have hair again
LOL
😂😂😂
Opps
😅
This makes me so grateful to have grown up in a family hair salon, so many of these tips were already familiar like the shampoo on the scalp and conditioner on the ends, and it's good to know I'm doing it right :D
I was never taught any of this and I am 27. I orderd the recommended products for my hair type. I cant wait to try it out and to teach my daughter when she is old enough.
