Waiting for your eyeshadow palettes declutter to give me strength to declutter mine haha❤️ I recently found your channel and I can’t tell you just how helpful your videos have been!
Thanks for taking a moment to let me know! I'm so glad you find them helpful. I've already recorded that declutter and will get it online as soon as I'm finished editing.
I love mixing the olaplex number 6 with a few drops of the number 7! It makes it so much easier to work through the hair and I love the results a lot better than using 6 alone !! Thanks for sharing girl!!!
Hard water is not to be under estimated when it comes to hair care. I've been places where the water was so hard, I felt like I had a crust helmet of minerals on my head. Sometimes the best products are the ones that can be summed up with "Does its job. No complaints." For whatever reason, I never thought of people decluttering hair care/styling products in the same way as makeup. Perhaps its my bias where I will use something up that I'm dissatisfied with to get my money's worth out of it. That is unless I have some sort of bad reaction to it. The whole thing of dry shampoos is mystifying to me. I've tried to read up on them to get some understanding of what they do/how they work. I can guess from having shampoo in the name they're supposed to clean the hair, but I couldn't find a good explanation. And based on a couple recent articles I've read, I sometimes wonder if I've been washing my hair wrong my entire life.😂 All the volumizer/texturizer/thickifier hair styling products you've shown make me think back to my high school days when the bed head look was en vogue. I still remember the dismissive looks I got for asking why if you want the bed head look, why you don't just get out of bed and do nothing? And also the 80s big hair where even walking by a public women's restroom meant the potential for chocking in a cloud of Aquanet. I'm a little sad there's no secret word at the end of the video to put here. The array of products you show in this video makes me think of two things: 1) All the times over the years when I would use various hand soaps, bar soaps, body washes, etc on my head to get my hair some measure of clean with whatever was at hand. 2) I think the male equivalent of female hair care and styling is definitely beard care products. The seemingly never ending selection of balms, oils, butters, styling gels and waxes from all manner of companies with all manner of advertising gimmicks to get people to buy in. I have a few that I've used off an on since I grew my face fuzz. I'm not sure based on the result if I'm using them properly or if they aren't meant for how coarse my facial hair is. You've inspired to give the packaging another read to see if I'm doing something wrong.
I never would have though the hardness of water would have such an effect on hair, but wow, does it EVER. Considering that I've discovered all of these styling products while living in an area with extremely hard water, I think I'd have to discover an entirely new set if I ever moved to an area with softer water. Which means I can never move. Because I don't feel like searching for new hair products that work. 😂 I feel like a normal person wouldn't have enough hair products to declutter becuase they would probably only buy what they need and use that until it's gone. But between all my traveling and declutter buddies, I have way more than any one person needs. I haven't really bought hair products since before my no-buy year (unless I was replacing something) so I'm hoping this pile of product will shrink. Ah, the bed head look. That's always en vogue for me. Touring makes bed head my look of choice (for travel at least) because it's much less effort than actually styling it. 😂 The backstage rooms can often be a cloud of hairspray, so I'm taken back to your 80's aquanet experience fairly often. On the occasions where I've taken a bar of soap to my head it's been a tangled disaster. Thin, fine, long, straight hair seems to be the "princess and the pea" of hair. I imagine that it would work better if I had a pixie cut though - it might dry out my hair but at least there would be less to get tangled. I have a feeling you're right with the beard products. And with so many different skin and hair types out there, the sheer number of them doesn't surprise me. I hope that reading the packaging helps you find what you're looking for. It's always lovely to hear from you, Zach!
@TheStyleStumbler we have a water softener the deal with the hrd water that helps. I think different water conditions is subconsciously part of the reason why I have different brands of soap and such in my travel kit. I know what works at home, I don't want to get dissatisfied with it from hard water I'm not used to. My dad has always had super fine hair . As long as I can remember, he's always used baby shampoo. I think you could pull off the bed head look. It could fit in the rock star chic esthetic of hopping straight off the tour bus and on stage for a gig idea. I've bought a few things to try and help style my beard. At this point I just go with the least expensive thing so I'm not wasting money if I don't like it. But I also think I need to just let it grow out a bit so that there's some length to work with.
You are so right: having hair is great. Having hard-to-style hair is a challenge. Although some of the products I mentioned made a noticeable difference, I think the most helpful thing was learning how my hair structure actually worked: my hair can only hold a style when styled from wet to dry. If I had figured that out from the start I could have saved a lot of time and money on products, for sure. I wish you the best of luck as you try things out. I hope you'll let me know if you learn anything interesting!
Re: hard water: in hard water areas they advise to rinse the hair with diluted vinegar / any suitable acid like lemon juice after washing - that gets rid of the hard water effect
Thank you for the tip! It makes a lot of sense. Have you ever tried it? If so, I would be curious to know if you found that the vinegar or lemon smell lingered in the hair afterwards.
@@TheStyleStumbler Yes, I did. From memory, it did not linger. What I did was this: I rinsed the washed, clean hair with the vinegar rinse (1 part vinegar to 3-4 parts water); left it on for 3-5 min, then rinsed again thoroughly with pre-boiled warm water. (Boiling for 10 min or so softens the water). Another way I dealt with hard water was shampooing the hair, then rinsing it with only pre-boiled warm water.

Thanks for another enjoyable video! Apart from everything else, I was impressed by the way you respond to comments: even if you don'r fully agree with someone's thought, you express respect for their opinion and then gently/politely share your thoughts. Is this something you do naturally (if so, I am very envious :) ) or can it be learnt/trained?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Inna! Thanks for taking a moment to let me know. What an interesting question. I think it's an attitude that developed over time now that I've seen how much I've learned from hearing other people's perspectives. And it's something that's easier to do in written form than in real-time conversation, since it's possible to wait to respond in writing. I try to do the same thing in conversation as well - take time to really consider the spirit in which someone says something & see how I might benefit from their different perspective - but that's definitely harder since conversational pace is usually so much faster.
That down and dirty spray was free with purchase. 😂 I have one as well Ive yet to try. Texturizer shampoos usually have a bit of clay in them. Could always add your own clay🤷🏻♀️ I’ve done that and it works. I’m so going to pick up that Oribe texture spray. I had a sample and nothing as of yet compares. I’ll wait until I have less humidity though. My hair is a crazy mess in the summer. Thank you for sharing. I love hair and stuff.
Ahhh... that's probably why I got so many decluttered to me! 😂 What kind of clay do you add? That sounds like a great idea and I'd love to try it. I agree - I have also not yet found anything that compares to that Oribe texture spray. Thanks so much for taking a moment to share your thoughts, Tracy! It was lovely to hear from you.
@@TheStyleStumblerFor fine hair it’s suggested to use a kaolin. White , pink , green, purple doesn’t matter. I have best results with Rhassoul and kaolin mixed. I have a bunch to clay because I make soap and other stuff. So I play around. Bentonite is good for oily because it’s drying. Too drying for my coarse wavy hair. I still need root lift though. The Christopher Robin mask has Rhassoul and also silica which gives texture, oil absorption.
This is so interesting, I have super fine hair, super straight and not too much of it unfortunately. Okay it is long (well mostly because I don’t like to go to the salon), but I do just nothing. Mostly because I’m lazy and I made my peace with how it looks. BUT I am the expert on dry shampoo 😅 with different preference as I don’t like texture really because I like the feel of normal hair. I would be super interested in how you use some of those volume stuff as of course I’m super interested in how to achieve this and I even have some of those products. Just seems I don’t know how to use 😅
Ah and the very best dry shampoos ever are Omorovicza Scalp Reviver and Sachajuan Dry Shampoo Mousse. I also use powder or sprays if I have zero time (because the first two are wet and need a moment) but this never lasts for me.. so I wouldn’t mention favourites there
Oooooooo - thanks so much for the dry shampoo info! That might be my favorite and most used product category ever. And considering that they're wet, that might be a great way to refresh my volume at the roots (as long as I'm willing to hang my head upside down while they dry 😂).
I just pin all my hair to the top 😅 (so head down and collecting all the hair and put something in it that it stays there until dry or I have time to dry it with my fingers) - mostly I just do some other stuff in the meantime and then it’s done anyway .. I go through dry shampoo faster than anything else 😂😂 even though I just could wash them in the evening and go to bed with wet hair (which I do), I just don’t want to properly wash them every day. even though my hair doesn’t seem to care if I do or not
I can definitely see that it's not for everyone. The fact that I have light hair makes it much easier to use. Considering how much I travel and how quickly my hair gets oily, it has been a real time-saver for me. But I would imagine darker haired people would have a harder time finding something that works well.
I have yet to find a dry shampoo that doesn’t look like I have been sanding drywall spackle. I gave up years ago. 😂 I have one can of hairspray that is probably over 15 years old that I use on dried flowers. I shampoo, conditioner, Moroccan oil, air dry, done. 🤣🤪
This is a REALLY expensive haircare collection.... 😮 (Looks to my Pantene Pro V products in my bathroom... 🫣) I've fine hair too, but i have a looot of them and they're very wavy too. I'm glad, that i can find my haircare in the drugstore and it works really well for me. I'm not really willing to pay high prices for hair- and scincare, when drugstore works perfectly fine for me. I would only reach to expensive haircare, when there is really nothing, that works for me. I use the Pantene Pro V Volumen serie and mix a little bit of Pantenes Colour Gloss, or the Sleek & Smooth into it, and it works perfectly for me. I'm happy for you, that the products works for you. I love a good declutter. Greetings from Germany 🤗
You're right: my hair seems to have expensive taste. The drugstore often has amazing options and it's great when you find something that works well. My favorite moisturizer used to be from Aldi (until they discontinued it). Unfortunately my hair hasn't had much luck at the drugstore. I think I've actually spent more money at the drugstore **trying** to find something that worked. For example: I had great hopes for Pantene Pro Volumen Shampoo, but my scalp would be oily again just hours later. The individual products were more affordable, but the frequent failed purchases added up fast. Now that I found my "tried and true" things, I stopped searching, and that saves me money in the long run. And the fact that it takes me several years to go through just one bottle makes the high price tag a little easier to swallow. But your approach is very sensible. Why pay higher prices when a more affordable product does the same thing? It's great that you found solutions at a much more comfortable price point. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment! It was lovely hearing from you. Viele Grüße aus Nord Amerika!
