my mom, who went to beauty school, has been bleaching, coloring, and even giving me perms since i was in 2nd grade and I'm in college now. despite all of that though, i don't have a single split end. since i was a kid, she taught me to always put conditioner in the ends of my hair while it was wet, and to comb it but not wash it out. when i wash it, i put it in a bun and only wash my scalp, and rinse my ends. your ends don't to be washed. i think all of this helps to keep my hair shiny and healthy.
Sounds good. When you say you put it in a bun, where do you do the bun? At your nape or onto of your head? I've been doing it a few days but it tricky for the bin not to come loose
As a hairdresser, I have been doing the "dusting" technique on clients for years, and it's wonderful. When you are literally cutting between 1/8 and 1/16 of an inch off the hair you WILL see growth and healthier hair. Most people who need this type of cut are also color treated, heat styling, and maybe not using the best products for their hair, so the hair may not be in the best condition. The information she is giving in this video is correct.
I don't think the shorter hairs on top means they're short because they're broken. They could be just new growth and haven't reached the length yet. If you keep cutting them, they're never gonna reach your length, so aren't you gonna get stuck with a lot of fly aways all the time? And my split ends are not mostly at the top, they're always right at the bottom of my head, like around the neck and behind the ears. The inner hairs are always split. I think it's because they rub against my clothes the most. The top is a lot better.
Ur hair could be dry. Put an oil in it. Not enuff to make it oily looking, but to smooth it. Ur work, home could be very dry/no humidity. Crack a,window open a bit to get humidity in, or put a pan of water out in room in winter. Or humidifier. Get a hair scarf for sleep. Cheaper than silk pillowcase. 3 bucks ebay
I think she's saying mostly for people with bleach on colored hair but yet our mind is the same way I've reverted back to my natural color hard to get the split ends I don't know if they're split at the top or the bottom maybe both
This was so incredibly helpful for me. I have the worst split ends. I used to blow dry my hair every single day for work. I'm now a stay at home mom and have not had a haircut in over 2 years. These tips that keep me from having to go into a salon or at least make my hair look less crazy until I can get some help are awesome! Thanks so very much!!!
As a stylist myself I can say with certainty that trimming your hair does NOT make it grow faster or healthier. Your hair grows from the roots. The rate and health of your growth depends on diet, overall health, and genetics. However, if your ends are damaged, it will continue breaking up the hair shaft so please get your hair trimmed like she said! But only as needed.
Exactly!!!!! I don't know where she got her info or who taught her this. And short hairs are 99% of the time just new hair(since we shed hair everyday and they do grow back).
+Dave Thompson Yeah, you can actually see split ends though, if you take a small section and hold it to the light...it will have a V formation at the end, or will look ragged up the shaft a bit. I trim off those to where the hair looks healthy, but you have to be careful just trimming "all" hairs...or you will have no real growth on the hair that has recently started growing in. You'll just retain that fuzzy look, because you keep trimming everything trying to "catch up". LOL
Practicerecordings I need all the advice I can get. Grown my hair for first time in my life in my 40's. No idea what I'm doing! Will leave it up to my hair dresser until my hair is long enough to focus on and bring in front of my face. I've got a lot of crappy damaged hair I'm trying to grow out, so got a few hair cuts ahead of me until I reach my full potential. Not that you needed to hear my story....
+Dave Thompson Well, I will say that what is going on inside...will be your best approach, eat well, lots of water, and taking supplements will really make a difference. Also, find some good products, nothing expensive...just things that ease you through the transition, and also are not drying or stripping your hair. I personally have baby fine hair, with lots of wave and some curl...and it's moody as all hell. LOL I get a lot of electrical static, and it's so easy to weigh it down...so it ends up looking flat and greasy, if I am not careful. So I opt for a shampoo/conditioner recommended by dermatologists, and then a light leave-in with hemp, argan oil, etc. Kind of tames the frizzies and makes my hair softer and easier to manage.
Practicerecordings That's good advice...thanks. I am doing that though, as have been studying hair care quite a bit for the last few weeks. I was letting life get me down these last few years, but then I decided I wanted long hair! lol You gotta be a positive person and keep eating well to get good hair. Been taking loads of supplements too, but my body decided to reject the fish oil tablets I'd been taking for a few weeks, by giving me a skin allergy. Got some cod liver oils instead, and hope I won't have a problem with them, Good multi-vit, sea kelp, Silica complex, Saw palmetto and fish oil are my new supplements, but I am sure I'm over-doing it. You could buy and take so much in the hope it helps hair, but it's my fault for not growing my hair when I was younger. I've got some Aussies leave-in conditioner, but it doesn't make it look that great, but it's not important if it's helping to protect it. Also bought some Tresemme keratin smooth shine spray, which actually makes my hair nice and soft, but I wanted to ask you..is it actually any good for hair even if I'm not heat styling it? I need to add something to it after washing, otherwise it all flops over my face :(
Your channel is amazing and has been SO helpful after getting a terrible color service from a stylist taking me from red to blonde!! Thank you so much for being so open and educational with these videos!! Love this channel xoxo
MY FAVORITE VIDEO! I have damaged my hair soooooo bad, I always say I never know when enough is enough. I'm trying to stop and let it grow, be healthy and be my natural color.
I want to thank you because my hair is over processed and I have been loosing so much hair because of depression. Your videos really helped me that now I can feel my hair is getting a live again more videos please even I like your make up and I learned many tips from you in your videos. Can't thank you enough
how come the hairs that pop out are broken ones? couldn't it just be hair that had shed and the short hair is a new one growing to replace it? I've always wondered how you tell the difference 😊
That IS true- you do have a valid point. However........ hairs that have weakened/split ends break as well, ending up in shorter strands. Ionno. Either way, Ellebangs is suggesting that we could snip only a tiny bit off (maybe 2 cm? barely anything at all- something that'd grow back in a week anyway, lol)
most of the time it's new growth but it definitely can be breakage. if you see a hair has shed, if it has a white bulb at the end of it it's normal, if it doesn't it's breakage.
Oh. My. God. Although I always air-blow my hair and almost never use heat on it I get A LOT of breakage because my hair is very very very fine. I have always been very reluctant to cut my hair at home, because I wear layers and I always felt like I would mess it up, so I was stuck to either spend a lot of money in the salon or wear not-that-great hair. You saved me with this tip, I just did it at home and it took me like 10 min and my hair looks fabulous. Thank you!
Wow! "Dusting" . . . Ingenious! Every time I turn to you for help/advice with a specific issue, I always learn so much more. My husband always helps me with cutting, colouring, etc., so now I will also get him to dust my hair for me - perfect technique as my hair is curly and layered. Thank you for all your continued help and advise.
I LOVED this video. Even 2 years old, it's still great advice and info. You explain things so well and educate the viewer which empowers them with the knowledge that they can do things themselves to help their hair and routine, etc without needing the money to go to salons all the time!
aw thanks so much :) and without you I wouldn't be able to make new videos every week! so thanks for watching and please take a sec to share my vids if you like them :) xo
I got my hair trimmed on time for years and it never grew any longer then what i had!...i stopped trimming my hair and now its halfway down my back! Best thing i ever did!
With the dusting, wont those newly-healthy/trimmed pieces just pop up next time because you have cut them and they're still short, despite being healthy now?
I've been wanting to find a method like this for a while now. I used dusting on my hair and I noticed the difference instantly. I can blow dry my hair and didn't need to straighten it or curl it. The best part was I kept the length!
The best thing EVER that helped my dry ends from splitting was to soak them with flax seed water after washing (you boil water with flax seeds and you get a gel, then use just a bit of it, add some water, mix it in a small bowl and dip the hair in it, no rinsing after). It moisturizes my hair like no hair conditioner could. I really recommend it! I don;t need to use any oils anymore, any conditioner. And it's suuuuper cheap.
You are so knowledgeable😍 I'm doing my blonde hair at home and I'm really want it to be long blonde hair, but the ends of my hair...ouuwh it sucks,,,,I already put so much coconut oil,,, but the ends still coarse and I don't wanna cut it,, when you suggest to cut it every six weeks...girls... It's really blown up my mind!! Why I never think about that,, I always think to cut the ends when I reached the hair length that I want...thank you so much,, sorry for my bad English,, I'm From Indonesia,, Love you 💕💕💕
But not all of your hairs started growing at the same time so if some of them are shorter than the rest doesn't necessarily mean that they are split ends
kek thinning out your hair requires "shaving" some hairs out, this is definitely not the same thing. She explained exactly why the top layer of hair will _most likely_ be the most damaged, not that every single hair on top is broken. There's a clear distinction between young hairs and split hairs, ffs.
I recently got my hair cut and the lady thinned it out with a razor. Now when it's dry and natural it looks so poofy, and I have more split ends then when I walked in! Thanks for this video
In the 1940s 50s they did the dusting with a match (burned off everything that stuck out when they twisted the hair... I am a hair dresser or was I do art now-- your fabulous!!! You give great advice. I am always experimenting with what works on my frizzy colored mess of a head--- a mixture I discovered I will share is ojon mask and bumble and bumble hair dressing oil-- the 2 things play very well together- I used to have to iron my hair all the time now I wash use these 2 things air dry-sleep with it twisted and voila wavy soft locks!--- I wish you much success! KEEP teaching! xoxoxox
You know what's interesting is that they do that in a lot of salons in Brazil and now there's certain salons here in NYC that do that as well. They charge around 200 to the match treatment.
Estrellitawilliams yikes! really?? Never heard of this actually sounds really damaging!! Need to look into it and learn the chemistry and biology behind this technique :)
yes! I've been dusting my own hair for years and didn't realize it was a technical term. I don't cut all the ends that pop out when I bend the hair, but this technique really makes the split ends stand out from the healthy hair and easier to cut those buggers off. :) :)
You are like the hair god! I love the way you umderstand people cant always afford salon trips, but you give is professional tips to get us by till we can! Such a down to earth girl. Keep up the good work :)
i have tried two times to burn the split ends with a candle; yes the flame of a candle, i take tiny parts of hair and twist them , the split ends that shows throught the twist of hair, i burn them with the flame... i do it all over my hair and then i wash it, then apply a treatment for a few minutes, rinse it and... voila!!!!!! no splits ends and no having to cut my hair... I´m from Mexico and love alll your videos!!! you´re amazing...
Great tips! I did it today after watching your video, then I washed my hair and put some argan oil serum. My hair looks great! I had this old bang on left side that grew out and was very dry and split - right know it is looking more healthy! Thank you :)
OMGosh ... Dusting ! why don't all stylists make this a regular service for the hair. im gonna start doing this on myself. Beautiful! thank you for sharing ❤️
i know this was an older video for you. I wanted to thank you for your tips and tricks. I dusted my hair today. I've never felt this type of smootnnes to my hair! thanks again
Love your videos. I've been doing these methods for years on my hair. Now I know the proper terminology. Most hair stylist won't give you all this information. Thanks.
I guess only cut the very tips (teensy bit) of the hair that sticks out, I guess................ I have'nt tried. I'm really not sure! my hair is a wavy/coarse texture.
This is amazing! I learned something today. Thank you!! I'm serious. I've always had trouble with breakage for whatever reason; I never brush my hair because it's curly and tends to be dry. One time many years ago I went in and told the stylist to cut the dead ends....I ended up with almost a crew cut. I wanted to die. I don't trust many people to cut my hair after that.
Adoro teus vídeos Silvia! "Dusting" saved my life, I have very long hair, bleached, and not that broken because I use lots of elixirs, but stylists here want to cut half of the whole hair lol. Beijinhos!
I always so very much enjoy your videos. As for dusting, on my curly hair, most of the pieces that stick out do not have split ends. They're just new hair or broken lengths. So most splits are toward the bottom. I admit my hair is still recovering from a lousy salon dusting and awful spotty highlights. I was so disappointed that I've been touching up and trimming my own hair using your instructions--for about a year. I'm glad to know you are not the sort of stylist who just chops off hair if a client doesn't want to lose length. By the way, dhe top you're wearing is beautiful. Does it run large, small?
I used to be rough brushing my hair and brush it wet, now I dont touch it wet and detangle first with my fingers and my hair is thicker and grows faster then it ever has. problem is its that long at the moment im getting it caught in things, worst being putting up window in the car and not knowing my hairs in it😂
Same here! It's heavy, easily tangled, gets caught in things, takes forever to dry...but it's our crowning glory. I do a lot of braids and buns, anything that minimizes tangles. It seems like the longer my hair gets, the more dandruff I get. I use Matrix about once or twice a week and use a boar brush most of the time because I'm guaranteed dandruff as soon as my hair drys from washing and I always have to wash tubside because it's so floppy. I blame dandruff on chlorides in our city water and my old age (33). This is TrueSTM's mom. Didn't feel like changing accounts.
Thank you so much for your video. I have afro textured hair and believe it or not, this video really helps me too! I'm not looking to change my hair color but your tip on dusting is priceless. Thanks a bunch :-)
Thanks so much for this tip. I tend to have very dry hair so I have all kinds of crazy split ends. My hair is all different lengths because I keep trimming split ends, but I have never tried this particular method of trimming. This is great. Thanks so much.
Been air drying my hair lately since it seemed to help my hair style better and brush out better as well. Glad to hear you say to air drying is better. Will keep air drying it then styling it cause it seems to help my frizzy and easily-tangled hair brush out better.
Have you tried velaterapia? When I visited São Paulo, my friend took me to her mother's hair salon, and she swore by this technique for split ends. I swear my hair felt so soft, and looked really healthy afterwards. I was second guessing going through with it, when I was told they would be burning my hair with a candle, but it really does work! I guess you can call it a type of dusting..?
I like how candid you are and reasonable, especially when you described your view on brazilian blowout. Sometimes they would just tell you yes yes do it it's gonna look good on anyone, but than when u consider the damage of the procedure itself it might just not be right and plus it's not cheapest job.
I just love your videos like this Silvia. No one does these kinds of videos so not only do they set you apart from the rest but they are so informative! Love from So Cal 😘
Thank you for this genius tip. I started using it right away. Easy to do yourself. Really works wonder for my hair. I get very fast dry ends and split ends.
No, not all the hairs that pop out are split and unhealthy hair, so that was a bit misleading. I tried the method since watching this and definitely didn't cut every hair that popped out, just the ones that were clearly split and frayed. If you do it, twist a section of hair, cut, then twist it the other way and cut, then repeat if you want. It's much more thorough. And do it somewhere with a lot of light where you can really see the bad hair. I did it outside in the sunlight. The dusting method is actually very cool. You can tell you've made progress when you run your fingers down the lock of hair and it feels smooth at the ends instead of rough.
OMG thank you so much! This is so helpful.... I'm growing my hair out, so I hope 'dusting' is really going to solve my problem! Defenitely going to subscribe to your channel! Thanks a lot xxx
Hair only grows half an inch a month on average, so basically if you are trimming every 6-8 weeks you are cutting off all the length it has gained. So your hair will stay at the same length. That's fine if you want to keep it a particular length, but if you want to grow your hair longer it won't do. Besides if your hair splits every six to eight weeks, your hair must be in bad condition and you would be better off quitting heat treatment etc.
I don't color my hair and I have been doing the dusting to my hair for 3 years I guess.. my hair haven't been that long .. totally recommend it also :)
Thank you so much for giving me hope! Sounds really sad but hair is one of the first things that people see and it's not that different to having bad acne, if you don't feel confident or just know that your hair is dull/limp... you're going to feel pretty crap about yourself. My parents said I had horrible flat hair since I was a child and I guess I had a little complex! 12 years of seeing different hairdressers (worldwide) and still no-one seemed to 'get' my hair! I would leave the salon or their house really disappointed. THANK YOU Silvia for the past year, I have been using your tutorials and listening to you, you make so much sense and finally got the long layered hair of my dreams (with some volume!) thanks to you. Made such a big difference to my confidence and well... life. Ps you and Adam are super cute together
I had shoulder length hair for a year and now it's bra strap length. I get a trim regularly but I seem to find mid split ends often. I just sit in the sun and trim them when I have time.
Omg this is so helpful! My hair is very light blonde (it used to b platinum but has lost some lightness over the past couple years & I'd like to get it re-lightened using olaplex) but it just does not wanna grow & I know it's from split ends & breakage so this is incredibly helpful & useful to me. Thank u!
Hair is dead matter, it won't grow faster for cutting it and you can never really fix split ends without cutting them off. There are obviously things you can do to prevent split ends though, and things to make your hair look healthier.
+Lisa Persson Yes, and her technique for 'finding' split ends by looking for short hairs doesn't make any sense. A short hair is most likely new growth so it's pointless to trim more off of it. My breakage and split ends are always towards the ends of my hair and that's because the ends are weaker from so many months/years of styling. And I spot them because the breakage exposes the cuticle (usually a whitish/beige color.) The hair literally splits so it's easy to spot running your fingers through your hair and looking at it.
+Lisa Persson So the hair can indicate about a persons health but it's dead matter? Hair is an extension of your nervous system. Everything your body has is for a reason, beauty is not that reason. Your body in it's origin is made to survive. Educate yourself.
+0r0pher Yes, the follicle is "alive" and produces the hair, that's how you can see people's health in their hair. All depending on how the follicles build the dead matter, what the hair is built from, you can see lacking of minerals etc. Hair is protecting important areas (for example vagina from chafing) and especially before evolving into what we are today, kept us warm. The body wants to protect and keep warm the most important organ of them all, the brain. Hence the head hair. If you wanna suggest it's for looks that's up to you, don't bring me into that. According to facts hair is dead matter and you won't sound any smarter from repeating my words. Quite the opposite to be honest, when you're spewing uneducated faulty opinions as facts. You could have avoided making such a stubborn childish fool out of yourself if you'd just googled these facts from the start, but no, you wanted to argue. And look where you are now. Educate yourself.
I love your all of your hair advice! I wish there were more hair stylists out there like you but thankfully you are dishing for free here! :-) Thank you so much!!
The dusting was super helpful. I have been going in manually and cutting the splits at the bottom so this is very very helpful to know that this is how I should be cutting instead. For some reason the splits have been happening within the hair shaft so I have no clue what to do there, other than chop my hair off. The frizz is incredibly bad but I have naturally curly dry hair that requires soo much moisture. The day of a hair shower, my hair is gorgeously curly and not frizzy but the day after it literally goes dry and ugly again. I can't wash it too often due to the dryness so I have switched to oiling it and leaving in the oil for days. This has significantly and dramatically improved my hair, giving it shine and life again. However, the splits never end. I don't know if it's a hormonal thing or what. I am starting to think it's my Babyliss hair curler which I use like once a month and I literally see dramatic breakage after using this. I think it's the hot tool for sure. I am switching to T3 Single Pass hair curler to attempt to stop all this breakage but really not sure if this will do the trick, combined with locking in moisture after towel drying and leaving the oil in for days, and the dusting plus hair trims every 3 months. I also switched my shampoo and conditioner to a nicer more salon-worthy version. This is all so frustrating but the scalp massages have been helping grow my hair and oiling the scalp as well. Now it's just the splits that worry me. Any help you could provide here will be extremely useful. Thank you!
The last past years I've been trying to grow out my hair as much as I can. But without result. My hair looked dry and flat even though I had products to prevent dryness. A few months ago I decided to cut it all off because it was so frustrating and no hairdresser chould ever give me any answers to why my hair always looked so damp. My problem is probably split ends and breakage on the lengths of my hair, and reacenlty I've been trying out "dusting" and it works amazingly :) Hopefully I can grow it out again! :D
I use TALAVERA SPLIT-ENDER PRO every 6 - 12 weeks for 2 years now. It snips 4 or 8mm of each strand of hair automatically. Very easy to use - like a flat iron -, does a great job . Exist in cheap version for private home-use. However, avoid over-using it as it tends to thin the locks : Then the ends grow thin, so keep on trimming / dusting at your hairdresser to maintain shape and thickness.
Thank you thank you for having a go to channel that answers those tough question us blondes have keeping our hair healthy. Please keep the videos coming, as I look forward to learning all about the DIY. Also I'm super interested in learning more about the Monat product line.
+Holly Hasselbom thanks for watching :) if you want to know more about the Monat line, check out the 2 videos I did last month about them. I'm in love with the products. xx
Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I find it extremely helpful as I have thick wavy frizzy hair that is so hard to manage , especially when the humidity comes.
Trims don't necessarily make the hair grow faster, but split ends usually work their way up the hair shaft. By trimming your hair frequently you can prevent this .
but she actually said your hair grows faster if you get it trimmed. I went to Cosmetology School a very long time ago and I learned that the hair grows from within the follicle in the scalp area.. So what you do to the end of your hair does not actually accelerate growth. which it's what everyone seems to be saying but, she needs to clarify.
My compliment voor the video’s you make. Lots of good tips and information. Your personality and presentation fabulous. Big fan of your video’s from Holland. All the best to you.
I cutted off my ends for the first time in six years, now is it butt length. I use oils and so on to protect the hair, I also use leave in conditioner and wash my hair once a week. I have done this for 3-4 years and my hair grows like crazy and i haven't used heat since 2008 ( prom, with heat protectant spray ). Yes i also do use dry shampoo, it is super easy to find for blonde hair.
my mom, who went to beauty school, has been bleaching, coloring, and even giving me perms since i was in 2nd grade and I'm in college now. despite all of that though, i don't have a single split end. since i was a kid, she taught me to always put conditioner in the ends of my hair while it was wet, and to comb it but not wash it out. when i wash it, i put it in a bun and only wash my scalp, and rinse my ends. your ends don't to be washed. i think all of this helps to keep my hair shiny and healthy.
Seems like a good way to get product buildup.
Sounds good. When you say you put it in a bun, where do you do the bun? At your nape or onto of your head? I've been doing it a few days but it tricky for the bin not to come loose
As a hairdresser, I have been doing the "dusting" technique on clients for years, and it's wonderful.

The information she is giving in this video is correct.
What do you think about the split ender pro ?
I don't think the shorter hairs on top means they're short because they're broken. They could be just new growth and haven't reached the length yet. If you keep cutting them, they're never gonna reach your length, so aren't you gonna get stuck with a lot of fly aways all the time? And my split ends are not mostly at the top, they're always right at the bottom of my head, like around the neck and behind the ears. The inner hairs are always split. I think it's because they rub against my clothes the most. The top is a lot better.
Ur hair could be dry. Put an oil in it. Not enuff to make it oily looking, but to smooth it. Ur work, home could be very dry/no humidity. Crack a,window open a bit to get humidity in, or put a pan of water out in room in winter. Or humidifier. Get a hair scarf for sleep. Cheaper than silk pillowcase. 3 bucks ebay
I think she's saying mostly for people with bleach on colored hair but yet our mind is the same way I've reverted back to my natural color hard to get the split ends I don't know if they're split at the top or the bottom maybe both
You know what I love about videos? You always teach me something that I've never heard of. You're so knowledgeable!
aww thank you Molly!! xx
I've been "dusting" my hair for years! Like you I thought it was something that only I did. Now I know it has a name! Loving your tutorials x
This was so incredibly helpful for me. I have the worst split ends. I used to blow dry my hair every single day for work. I'm now a stay at home mom and have not had a haircut in over 2 years. These tips that keep me from having to go into a salon or at least make my hair look less crazy until I can get some help are awesome! Thanks so very much!!!
As a stylist myself I can say with certainty that trimming your hair does NOT make it grow faster or healthier. Your hair grows from the roots.

HeyRuka split ends stop breakage so that you can retain length 🤦♀️ any “hair stylist” would know that.
you look a bit like penny from big bang theory
I thought the same
I think you look like an "American" Shakira, lol
She way prettier than penny. She's gorgeous.
+Jessica Wood omg I thought the same thing!
yeah true! she looks so much like penny
Not all hairs that "pop" out will be breakage, some will also be regrowth.
+Practicerecordings I was thinking that too. Guess there's not much you can do about split ends except for preventing them in the first place.
+Dave Thompson Yeah, you can actually see split ends though, if you take a small section and hold it to the light...it will have a V formation at the end, or will look ragged up the shaft a bit. I trim off those to where the hair looks healthy, but you have to be careful just trimming "all" hairs...or you will have no real growth on the hair that has recently started growing in.

I've got a lot of crappy damaged hair I'm trying to grow out, so got a few hair cuts ahead of me until I reach my full potential. Not that you needed to hear my story....
+Dave Thompson Well, I will say that what is going on inside...will be your best approach, eat well, lots of water, and taking supplements will really make a difference. Also, find some good products, nothing expensive...just things that ease you through the transition, and also are not drying or stripping your hair. I personally have baby fine hair, with lots of wave and some curl...and it's moody as all hell. LOL I get a lot of electrical static, and it's so easy to weigh it down...so it ends up looking flat and greasy, if I am not careful. So I opt for a shampoo/conditioner recommended by dermatologists, and then a light leave-in with hemp, argan oil, etc. Kind of tames the frizzies and makes my hair softer and easier to manage.

Also bought some Tresemme keratin smooth shine spray, which actually makes my hair nice and soft, but I wanted to ask you..is it actually any good for hair even if I'm not heat styling it? I need to add something to it after washing, otherwise it all flops over my face :(
Your channel is amazing and has been SO helpful after getting a terrible color service from a stylist taking me from red to blonde!! Thank you so much for being so open and educational with these videos!! Love this channel xoxo
+BrittsBeauty aw thank you so much xxx
+ellebangs your very much bytefol
MY FAVORITE VIDEO! I have damaged my hair soooooo bad, I always say I never know when enough is enough. I'm trying to stop and let it grow, be healthy and be my natural color.
I want to thank you because my hair is over processed and I have been loosing so much hair because of depression. Your videos really helped me that now I can feel my hair is getting a live again more videos please even I like your make up and I learned many tips from you in your videos. Can't thank you enough
OMG!! you just saved me! DUSTING is just want i needed.
how come the hairs that pop out are broken ones? couldn't it just be hair that had shed and the short hair is a new one growing to replace it? I've always wondered how you tell the difference 😊
That IS true- you do have a valid point. However........ hairs that have weakened/split ends break as well, ending up in shorter strands. Ionno. Either way, Ellebangs is suggesting that we could snip only a tiny bit off (maybe 2 cm? barely anything at all- something that'd grow back in a week anyway, lol)
most of the time it's new growth but it definitely can be breakage. if you see a hair has shed, if it has a white bulb at the end of it it's normal, if it doesn't it's breakage.
Oh. My. God. Although I always air-blow my hair and almost never use heat on it I get A LOT of breakage because my hair is very very very fine. I have always been very reluctant to cut my hair at home, because I wear layers and I always felt like I would mess it up, so I was stuck to either spend a lot of money in the salon or wear not-that-great hair. You saved me with this tip, I just did it at home and it took me like 10 min and my hair looks fabulous. Thank you!
Thank you!! I'm so surprised with how many other stylists I come across that don't know what a "dusting" or "health trim" is. Great video!
Wow! "Dusting" . . . Ingenious! Every time I turn to you for help/advice with a specific issue, I always learn so much more. My husband always helps me with cutting, colouring, etc., so now I will also get him to dust my hair for me - perfect technique as my hair is curly and layered. Thank you for all your continued help and advise.
you gave me back hope! As an Arab woman long hair is everything to us and everyone said you should just cut it. Thank you so much.
I LOVED this video. Even 2 years old, it's still great advice and info. You explain things so well and educate the viewer which empowers them with the knowledge that they can do things themselves to help their hair and routine, etc without needing the money to go to salons all the time!
Best hair care channel on youtube! I love every video of yours, without you I wouldn't be able to achieve the perfect color I have now on my hair.
aw thanks so much :) and without you I wouldn't be able to make new videos every week! so thanks for watching and please take a sec to share my vids if you like them :) xo
Idk why it took me so long to find her but yes! Couldn't agree more.
I got my hair trimmed on time for years and it never grew any longer then what i had!...i stopped trimming my hair and now its halfway down my back! Best thing i ever did!
I just tried this. Brilliant! I've been dying for a hair cut to get rid of split ends but couldn't afford it. Tried this instead and I feel great!
With the dusting, wont those newly-healthy/trimmed pieces just pop up next time because you have cut them and they're still short, despite being healthy now?
I've been wanting to find a method like this for a while now. I used dusting on my hair and I noticed the difference instantly. I can blow dry my hair and didn't need to straighten it or curl it. The best part was I kept the length!
The best thing EVER that helped my dry ends from splitting was to soak them with flax seed water after washing (you boil water with flax seeds and you get a gel, then use just a bit of it, add some water, mix it in a small bowl and dip the hair in it, no rinsing after). It moisturizes my hair like no hair conditioner could. I really recommend it! I don;t need to use any oils anymore, any conditioner. And it's suuuuper cheap.
You are so knowledgeable😍 I'm doing my blonde hair at home and I'm really want it to be long blonde hair, but the ends of my hair...ouuwh it sucks,,,,I already put so much coconut oil,,, but the ends still coarse and I don't wanna cut it,, when you suggest to cut it every six weeks...girls... It's really blown up my mind!! Why I never think about that,, I always think to cut the ends when I reached the hair length that I want...thank you so much,, sorry for my bad English,, I'm From Indonesia,, Love you 💕💕💕
Very well done informative video, especially how clearly you speak and easy to understand plus your visual demonstrations.
But not all of your hairs started growing at the same time so if some of them are shorter than the rest doesn't necessarily mean that they are split ends
Yeah. This video is bullshit, you will only thin out your hair with this method.
kek thinning out your hair requires "shaving" some hairs out, this is definitely not the same thing. She explained exactly why the top layer of hair will _most likely_ be the most damaged, not that every single hair on top is broken. There's a clear distinction between young hairs and split hairs, ffs.
I recently got my hair cut and the lady thinned it out with a razor. Now when it's dry and natural it looks so poofy, and I have more split ends then when I walked in! Thanks for this video
In the 1940s 50s they did the dusting with a match (burned off everything that stuck out when they twisted the hair... I am a hair dresser or was I do art now-- your fabulous!!! You give great advice. I am always experimenting with what works on my frizzy colored mess of a head--- a mixture I discovered I will share is ojon mask and bumble and bumble hair dressing oil-- the 2 things play very well together- I used to have to iron my hair all the time now I wash use these 2 things air dry-sleep with it twisted and voila wavy soft locks!--- I wish you much success! KEEP teaching! xoxoxox
You know what's interesting is that they do that in a lot of salons in Brazil and now there's certain salons here in NYC that do that as well. They charge around 200 to the match treatment.
Estrellitawilliams yikes! really?? Never heard of this actually sounds really damaging!! Need to look into it and learn the chemistry and biology behind this technique :)
ellebangs Yeah I was scared when I saw it. I forget which Victoria Secret model does it.
yes! I've been dusting my own hair for years and didn't realize it was a technical term. I don't cut all the ends that pop out when I bend the hair, but this technique really makes the split ends stand out from the healthy hair and easier to cut those buggers off. :) :)
Everyone get a WET BRUSH! It's amazing! No more pulling, snagging on processed wet hair. It just slides through.
Shruffle Love where do you find one ?

Shruffle it’s amazing bc the bristles are so soft that you’d think it doesn’t work but it actually gets out knots in the hair it’s awesome
So gorgeous. You remind me of an "American Shakira" as someone previously stated in the comments!
no
Hair-kira
You are like the hair god! I love the way you umderstand people cant always afford salon trips, but you give is professional tips to get us by till we can! Such a down to earth girl. Keep up the good work :)
I second. You are such a sweet person to open infront of everyone and educate ☺️😍
i have tried two times to burn the split ends with a candle; yes the flame of a candle, i take tiny parts of hair and twist them , the split ends that shows throught the twist of hair, i burn them with the flame... i do it all over my hair and then i wash it, then apply a treatment for a few minutes, rinse it and... voila!!!!!! no splits ends and no having to cut my hair... I´m from Mexico and love alll your videos!!! you´re amazing...
That's very dangerous for your hair. You might as well end up with damaged or burnt hair
+Jessica Ford the two times i did this was not bad but i think i wont do it anymore :) thanks dear
Oh ok :)
+Susana Mena I've done it two times too and it was fine !
sss9851 may be we can keep doing it :)
Great tips! I did it today after watching your video, then I washed my hair and put some argan oil serum. My hair looks great!
I had this old bang on left side that grew out and was very dry and split - right know it is looking more healthy! Thank you :)
OMGosh ... Dusting ! why don't all stylists make this a regular service for the hair. im gonna start doing this on myself. Beautiful! thank you for sharing ❤️
WOW! I've been "dusting" my hair for years! I didn't know it was an actual thing though lol
i know this was an older video for you. I wanted to thank you for your tips and tricks. I dusted my hair today. I've never felt this type of smootnnes to my hair! thanks again
Looping to cut split ends: nothing but genius. Thank you!
I texted for an appointment. I hope I hear back. I would love for you to do my hair! I have learned so much you are the best!
Love your videos. I've been doing these methods for years on my hair. Now I know the proper terminology. Most hair stylist won't give you all this information. Thanks.
An easier way to do dusting, is to twist small sections and cut the ends that stick out
that never works on me :/
Rosalie Murray
Rosalie Murray what if you have a lot of hair that sticks out when you twist your hair? Should I really cut that much off? Won't it thin my hair out
I guess only cut the very tips (teensy bit) of the hair that sticks out, I guess................ I have'nt tried. I'm really not sure! my hair is a wavy/coarse texture.
This is amazing! I learned something today. Thank you!! I'm serious. I've always had trouble with breakage for whatever reason; I never brush my hair because it's curly and tends to be dry. One time many years ago I went in and told the stylist to cut the dead ends....I ended up with almost a crew cut. I wanted to die. I don't trust many people to cut my hair after that.
You always give the best hair tips! I already tried "dusting" and wow! I reel and see the difference! Thank you so much for your great tips and demos!
where did you get your blouse? its gorgeous😍
Adoro teus vídeos Silvia! "Dusting" saved my life, I have very long hair, bleached, and not that broken because I use lots of elixirs, but stylists here want to cut half of the whole hair lol. Beijinhos!
I always so very much enjoy your videos. As for dusting, on my curly hair, most of the pieces that stick out do not have split ends. They're just new hair or broken lengths. So most splits are toward the bottom. I admit my hair is still recovering from a lousy salon dusting and awful spotty highlights. I was so disappointed that I've been touching up and trimming my own hair using your instructions--for about a year. I'm glad to know you are not the sort of stylist who just chops off hair if a client doesn't want to lose length. By the way, dhe top you're wearing is beautiful. Does it run large, small?
You definitely have natural talent working with hair, thx for beauty tips !
I used to be rough brushing my hair and brush it wet, now I dont touch it wet and detangle first with my fingers and my hair is thicker and grows faster then it ever has. problem is its that long at the moment im getting it caught in things, worst being putting up window in the car and not knowing my hairs in it😂
Same here! It's heavy, easily tangled, gets caught in things, takes forever to dry...but it's our crowning glory. I do a lot of braids and buns, anything that minimizes tangles. It seems like the longer my hair gets, the more dandruff I get. I use Matrix about once or twice a week and use a boar brush most of the time because I'm guaranteed dandruff as soon as my hair drys from washing and I always have to wash tubside because it's so floppy. I blame dandruff on chlorides in our city water and my old age (33).
This is TrueSTM's mom. Didn't feel like changing accounts.
Thank you so much for your video. I have afro textured hair and believe it or not, this video really helps me too! I'm not looking to change my hair color but your tip on dusting is priceless. Thanks a bunch :-)
the "dusting" was an AMAZING tip! thank youu!!! your a life saver!
Idk why I came here expecting help for split ends on curly hair too :(
Your videos are still pretty good though, keep it up.
I'm kinda wavy and I have split ends on the very end. And if I ignore them for to long one hair can split multiple time in just 1 inch length. 😫
Thanks so much for this tip. I tend to have very dry hair so I have all kinds of crazy split ends. My hair is all different lengths because I keep trimming split ends, but I have never tried this particular method of trimming. This is great. Thanks so much.
Been air drying my hair lately since it seemed to help my hair style better and brush out better as well. Glad to hear you say to air drying is better. Will keep air drying it then styling it cause it seems to help my frizzy and easily-tangled hair brush out better.
so happy with everything you say,not Just "buy this product,buy that.."
Frequent trims truly helped me keep my length, do it y’all
Have you tried velaterapia? When I visited São Paulo, my friend took me to her mother's hair salon, and she swore by this technique for split ends. I swear my hair felt so soft, and looked really healthy afterwards. I was second guessing going through with it, when I was told they would be burning my hair with a candle, but it really does work! I guess you can call it a type of dusting..?
Seriously ily .. your so gorge! I love the way you explain things ❤️
I like how candid you are and reasonable, especially when you described your view on brazilian blowout. Sometimes they would just tell you yes yes do it it's gonna look good on anyone, but than when u consider the damage of the procedure itself it might just not be right and plus it's not cheapest job.
can you please link to or mention the products in your description? you don't mention the full names in your video.
You are so helpful, thanks. Kath
I just love your videos like this Silvia. No one does these kinds of videos so not only do they set you apart from the rest but they are so informative! Love from So Cal 😘
Thank you for this genius tip. I started using it right away. Easy to do yourself.
Really works wonder for my hair. I get very fast dry ends and split ends.
No, not all the hairs that pop out are split and unhealthy hair, so that was a bit misleading. I tried the method since watching this and definitely didn't cut every hair that popped out, just the ones that were clearly split and frayed. If you do it, twist a section of hair, cut, then twist it the other way and cut, then repeat if you want. It's much more thorough. And do it somewhere with a lot of light where you can really see the bad hair. I did it outside in the sunlight.
The dusting method is actually very cool. You can tell you've made progress when you run your fingers down the lock of hair and it feels smooth at the ends instead of rough.
OMG thank you so much!
This is so helpful....
I'm growing my hair out, so I hope 'dusting' is really going to solve my problem!
Defenitely going to subscribe to your channel!
Thanks a lot xxx
Hair only grows half an inch a month on average, so basically if you are trimming every 6-8 weeks you are cutting off all the length it has gained. So your hair will stay at the same length. That's fine if you want to keep it a particular length, but if you want to grow your hair longer it won't do. Besides if your hair splits every six to eight weeks, your hair must be in bad condition and you would be better off quitting heat treatment etc.
I don't color my hair and I have been doing the dusting to my hair for 3 years I guess.. my hair haven't been that long .. totally recommend it also :)
Thank you so much for giving me hope! Sounds really sad but hair is one of the first things that people see and it's not that different to having bad acne, if you don't feel confident or just know that your hair is dull/limp... you're going to feel pretty crap about yourself. My parents said I had horrible flat hair since I was a child and I guess I had a little complex! 12 years of seeing different hairdressers (worldwide) and still no-one seemed to 'get' my hair! I would leave the salon or their house really disappointed. THANK YOU Silvia for the past year, I have been using your tutorials and listening to you, you make so much sense and finally got the long layered hair of my dreams (with some volume!) thanks to you. Made such a big difference to my confidence and well... life. Ps you and Adam are super cute together
I had shoulder length hair for a year and now it's bra strap length. I get a trim regularly but I seem to find mid split ends often. I just sit in the sun and trim them when I have time.
THANK YOU! I’ve watched many of these videos and by far yours is the best..The best at explaining,the best method,ect..TY!
I love ALL of her videos too. They are the best on you tube.
I like how your makeup matches your top!
Omg this is so helpful! My hair is very light blonde (it used to b platinum but has lost some lightness over the past couple years & I'd like to get it re-lightened using olaplex) but it just does not wanna grow & I know it's from split ends & breakage so this is incredibly helpful & useful to me. Thank u!
this is the first time I've ever heard of a "dusting"! thank you!!
Yes! Really needed this video. Will be doing a 'dusting' tomorrow :)
I’m obsessed now watching all of your videos!!! ❤️❤️
Hair is dead matter, it won't grow faster for cutting it and you can never really fix split ends without cutting them off. There are obviously things you can do to prevent split ends though, and things to make your hair look healthier.
+Lisa Persson Yes, and her technique for 'finding' split ends by looking for short hairs doesn't make any sense. A short hair is most likely new growth so it's pointless to trim more off of it. My breakage and split ends are always towards the ends of my hair and that's because the ends are weaker from so many months/years of styling. And I spot them because the breakage exposes the cuticle (usually a whitish/beige color.) The hair literally splits so it's easy to spot running your fingers through your hair and looking at it.
+Lisa Persson hair is not dead matter.
+0r0pher It is, according to facts. Educate yourself.
+Lisa Persson So the hair can indicate about a persons health but it's dead matter? Hair is an extension of your nervous system. Everything your body has is for a reason, beauty is not that reason. Your body in it's origin is made to survive. Educate yourself.
+0r0pher Yes, the follicle is "alive" and produces the hair, that's how you can see people's health in their hair. All depending on how the follicles build the dead matter, what the hair is built from, you can see lacking of minerals etc.
Hair is protecting important areas (for example vagina from chafing) and especially before evolving into what we are today, kept us warm. The body wants to protect and keep warm the most important organ of them all, the brain. Hence the head hair. If you wanna suggest it's for looks that's up to you, don't bring me into that.
According to facts hair is dead matter and you won't sound any smarter from repeating my words. Quite the opposite to be honest, when you're spewing uneducated faulty opinions as facts. You could have avoided making such a stubborn childish fool out of yourself if you'd just googled these facts from the start, but no, you wanted to argue. And look where you are now.
Educate yourself.
Thank you for mentioning dusting!
I mention it to my fellow hairstylists and they have no idea what i'm talking about.
Your makeup in this video is so pretty and soft. How did you obtain it? It looks so soft and natural
I love your all of your hair advice! I wish there were more hair stylists out there like you but thankfully you are dishing for free here! :-) Thank you so much!!
thank you so much!! like my hair isn’t all one length and this is what i needed!
Where was this channel all my life. Thank you so much for your tips. ✂️💇🏻
The dusting was super helpful. I have been going in manually and cutting the splits at the bottom so this is very very helpful to know that this is how I should be cutting instead. For some reason the splits have been happening within the hair shaft so I have no clue what to do there, other than chop my hair off. The frizz is incredibly bad but I have naturally curly dry hair that requires soo much moisture. The day of a hair shower, my hair is gorgeously curly and not frizzy but the day after it literally goes dry and ugly again. I can't wash it too often due to the dryness so I have switched to oiling it and leaving in the oil for days. This has significantly and dramatically improved my hair, giving it shine and life again. However, the splits never end. I don't know if it's a hormonal thing or what. I am starting to think it's my Babyliss hair curler which I use like once a month and I literally see dramatic breakage after using this. I think it's the hot tool for sure. I am switching to T3 Single Pass hair curler to attempt to stop all this breakage but really not sure if this will do the trick, combined with locking in moisture after towel drying and leaving the oil in for days, and the dusting plus hair trims every 3 months. I also switched my shampoo and conditioner to a nicer more salon-worthy version. This is all so frustrating but the scalp massages have been helping grow my hair and oiling the scalp as well. Now it's just the splits that worry me. Any help you could provide here will be extremely useful. Thank you!
her voice so soothing and beautiful
The last past years I've been trying to grow out my hair as much as I can. But without result. My hair looked dry and flat even though I had products to prevent dryness. A few months ago I decided to cut it all off because it was so frustrating and no hairdresser chould ever give me any answers to why my hair always looked so damp. My problem is probably split ends and breakage on the lengths of my hair, and reacenlty I've been trying out "dusting" and it works amazingly :) Hopefully I can grow it out again! :D
Your video popped up because I have been searching videos on how to take care of split ends. This has helped very much. Subscribed to you too. :)
This is life changing!
Omg I'm going to do this! Your videos are always so full of knowledge! I loooooooove you accent too ♡♡♡
I use TALAVERA SPLIT-ENDER PRO every 6 - 12 weeks for 2 years now.
It snips 4 or 8mm of each strand of hair automatically.
Very easy to use - like a flat iron -, does a great job . Exist in cheap version for private home-use.
However, avoid over-using it as it tends to thin the locks :
Then the ends grow thin, so keep on trimming / dusting at your hairdresser to maintain shape and thickness.
Your videos are amazing and in the holiday I never knew what to do with hair and watching your videos have given me ideas
Thank you thank you for having a go to channel that answers those tough question us blondes have keeping our hair healthy. Please keep the videos coming, as I look forward to learning all about the DIY. Also I'm super interested in learning more about the Monat product line.
+Holly Hasselbom thanks for watching :) if you want to know more about the Monat line, check out the 2 videos I did last month about them. I'm in love with the products. xx
Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I find it extremely helpful as I have thick wavy frizzy hair that is so hard to manage , especially when the humidity comes.
Love all your videos. Thank you for all the tips on hair.
Trims don't make hair grow faster.
trust me it dose :)
Trims don't necessarily make the hair grow faster, but split ends usually work their way up the hair shaft. By trimming your hair frequently you can prevent this .
+Salma fahad it just makes it look neater so that it LOOKS like it's growing faster, but rosalind fahy is right
but she actually said your hair grows faster if you get it trimmed. I went to Cosmetology School a very long time ago and I learned that the hair grows from within the follicle in the scalp area.. So what you do to the end of your hair does not actually accelerate growth. which it's what everyone seems to be saying but, she needs to clarify.
it's to maintain length, without trimming ur hair won't grow as much due to the split ends not allowing it, but trimming u allow the hair to grow
My compliment voor the video’s you make. Lots of good tips and information. Your personality and presentation fabulous. Big fan of your video’s from Holland. All the best to you.
Elle, your videos are fabillis! I always pass on the tips to my friend who's a hairdresser too. An Irish subscriber.
I cutted off my ends for the first time in six years, now is it butt length. I use oils and so on to protect the hair, I also use leave in conditioner and wash my hair once a week. I have done this for 3-4 years and my hair grows like crazy and i haven't used heat since 2008 ( prom, with heat protectant spray ). Yes i also do use dry shampoo, it is super easy to find for blonde hair.
+Rachel Marquez i am alittle scared of showig myself on camera😂 but you can follow the tips❤️ thanks, but no thanks❤️😂
+Rachel Marquez :))
The trim flipped over the finger --- I never knew that & I'll try it... Thanks & Namaste ... I subscribed XoXoX
