thank you so much for this.....i often don't have time to sit and listen for everything so having a list of it or timestamps of everything is always very appreciated.
Does chemical exfoliators for the scalp count as scalp scrub? I have seen many influencers say that you need to buy a salicylic acid exfoliator for the scalp to grow healthier hair
He's the only hair stylist who doesn't promote a particular brand or add more items for a healthy hair routine. Instead, he tells us to use right products in right quantity and at the right time. 😊
His production recommendation list never changes and I've been using them for almost a year now - restocking whenever I'm out. My hair is almost the longest and healthiest it's ever been. He makes hair care so simple, just like your skincare routine should be!
I think its really classy that he included Redken products in his not-to-buy list, considering how often he promotes Redken for other things. Speaks volumes about his credibility and professionalism, thank you!
Thanks to you, I purchased the redken repair mask. My hair has been brittle and damaged but since using it for a literally 3 weeks, I’ve seen such an improvement, even my hairdresser agreed and everyone compliments how shiny and soft it is
Chris, I am 72 and I have long (waist length) hair that I keep dyed to my natural colour, Irish copper. I was about to have it all cut off until I found you on my TH-cam feed December 2022. I went on a deep dive and followed your recommendations for dry, damaged hair. I stocked up on the products you recommended and I have not looked back. I can honestly say that my hair has never looked better. Thank you for the education that I received on your channel. Now I really look forward to your videos!
I need a list of all the products you use. Please and thank you! I’m contemplating doing a big chop out of frustration and sometimes contemplating starting over, even though I know that’s not the issue.
I'm 60 with s curves in my hair, my hair is at my waist and more healthy now than ever before and it's only because I found Chris's TH-cam channel and purchased all recommended products, yep never going back!! I had percolated coffee spill on me when I was 2 years old, I tipped a saucer. The coffee ran down my head, mainly my left side and for so long I had no curl what so ever but was born with ringlets, now those ringlets are finally getting the chance to shine and it's all because I found this channel. ❤
As a cosmotology student I can say not only is he right, but following his routine has made my hair longer and stronger than it’s ever been and I’m so thankful
Absolutely right with the keratin products. I used a shampoo with it for about six months but not because of the keratin just cause I liked it. Finally figured out in May that it was leaving my hair with a weird smell like it hadn’t even been washed. Just so other women know it is not your towel leaving your hair smelling that way it’s the shampoo just trust me on this one.
Clay and African Black Soap are my shampoo soul mates. I just quit using anything commercial and my hair grew like 4 inches. But I also had to learn how to not to break it. Nice to hear some regular products that wouldn’t destroy my hair.
I just found your videos. I don't comment a lot, but I want to tell you how much I truly appreciate you breaking things down so that anyone can understand. And you even speak at a slower pace to allow it all to sink in. You seem very genuine. I appreciate you making these videos for the regular person like me! Thank you!
THANK YOU for mentioning both the whole "system" thing and the "natural/organic/clean" thing. I tell this to people all the time! My shampoo, conditioner, and stylers are all from different brands because the *products* work for me. Same for my skincare. And I've had allergies since I was three and everything I'm allergic to is "natural/organic/clean" and I have to use synthetic medications to prevent or heal from the problems they cause for me.
Good points. The 'natural' crap doesn't work for me either from most brands unless it's plant based & has zero synthetic fragrance. I'm highly allergic to synthetic fragrance, as in I can't use or touch it. I've gotten hives on my wrist from having it on a shopping cart handle while shopping one day. My hands itched for a week after using the wrong soap because we were at a restaurant & it's all they had available (I now carry my own plant based soap in a travel bottle in my purse & always have unscented baby wipes & sanitizer too). Allergies are awful. & I'm on synthetic meds too for hypothyroidism & other stuff). Good luck🍀 managing your allergies & disorders. ❤💚🌷
Fragrance free products are also great, especially for laundry & household cleaners. I also always keep at least my socks on at other peoples houses because floor cleaners can & have given me itchy feet due to allergy to synthetic fragrance. I even had itchy feet after wearing thin socks at a friend's house! It sucked. My boyfriend called my (wanting to) try new products Allergy Roulette. 😅 I just wanted to try a different deodorant. 😢 He had a good point though.
I found Giovanni is one of the products working very well for me, I have difrent products that I use, Marc Anthony, John Frieda, some of Creightons products, mind you, I don't use a range of any of these, I use what works for me, and I stopped using hair serums I make my own hair oils and use a few drops to touch up my ends and even rub into my scalp...
First, your video editor is A+ in capturing and smokyfyibg your most excellent vibe. Second, I keep waiting for you to sell out and start repping some brand and sponsoring videos, but you've maintained your integrity. It's why folks trust you, and that's a super power these days. Bravo!
@@stargazerbirdhe only recommends a few of Redken's products. He did a whole review of every Redken shampoo and conditioner and he rates each one and he doesn't love many of them.
I'm one of those people who buys "natural" products and reads labels. You're not wrong! 😄 Thanks for pulling me out of the consumer haze. Seriously. Also, I love that you're all for whatever works for your hair type, mixing brands. New subscriber!
He's wrong on a few points. There's loads of natural products out there and some are better than others, like with anything. You just have to find what works for you. Some of them do just replace buzzwords with an equivalent; some genuinely use better ingredients. Saying "you'll use sulfates in toothpaste anyway" is not only ignoring all of the sulfate free toothpastes out there, but why would you use more if you don't have to? Not to mention people that don't want to use endocrine disrupting chemicals or have allergies to certain ingredients. It's reductive to say all natural products are the same.
@@ellarothsky you are so right. I am allergic to sodium laureth sulfate and other sylicons, which almost every shampoo has in their formula, so after getting some classes, I started making my own shampoo. It's been 3 years by now, and I have saved tons of money and my hair and scalp are so healthy. Customized products are the way to go, you know exactly what goes into your head.
Hey! I’ve been following your advice for about 8 months and it has transformed my hair. I got my first hair compliment from my facial specialist last week!! She said it was so thick 😍 my hair was thick as a child, but thinned out with damage. My hair is back! I’m so happy and thank you ❤
There is no such thing as cruelty free. Not truly. Most of these brands boasting this BS are using ingredients previously tested in animals that are known to be safe, including when combined. So, they are boasting bs over someone elses achievements. Safe huh??? Let's see if anyone will bring a entirely new formulation with brand new substances that were never tested... and see if those pesky skin problems and allergies won't make an appearance.
I will only buy cruelty-free also. Olaplex is cruelty-free but I don't like their shampoo. It's a 10 is cruelty-free, so is CHI, Joico (I think), Pureology, Alterna, Amika, Shea Moisture (drugstore brand makes a nice clarifying shampoo) and Moroccan Oil is cruelty free also. For a larger list check Cruelty Free Kitty or Ethical Elephant. Don't bother with PETA because they will say a company is cruelty free if they pay 3rd party companies to do their testing
I can’t say thank you enough. I am so grateful that I found your channel. I went to the salon for the 1st time in about 6 months and my stylist could not believe how full and healthy my hair was. I’ve been seeing her for a decade and this was the healthiest she’d seen it. I’ll be 44 next month and yesterday was the first time in years I was able to choose a haircut because I liked it and not just something that made it look fuller. You are changing lives. ❤
Listen, Chris and Leslie. I am already have my perfect hair routine for the rest of my life thanks to you, guys (I’ve found my soulmate shampoo and conditioner, I use Leave in Conditioner and oil for ends… everything according to your Recommended list), but I can’t stop watching your videos because they are so such cool made. I give a standing ovation to your video-editor / video-maker 👏👏👏 When I watch your videos I feel enjoying 🤩👍 With love from Ukrainians 🇺🇦🩵💛
I switched from all-natural shampoo to Olaplex and still felt like my hair was weighed down and never fully clean. 9 months ago, I saw this guy's recommended hair products video and started using the Redken volume shampoo. I went from having to wash my hair every other day to every 2-3 days with some dry shampoo and now I only wash my hair every 4-6 days and barely have to use dry shampoo. I don't need to use as much heat as before because my hair isn't oily and weighed down and It's grown sooo much!
My question is how important is hair porosity? And how do you determine your hair porosity? YOU are my all-time fave hair care channel. Just ordered my first two products from your list.
I’m a stylist and your frank words are so welcomed. There is so much crap in shampoo. As you said it coats the hair and makes it heavy. Loved you TH-cam channel.😊
Thank you for pointing out the “clean” operation the big companies are doing to get us to throw all our money at them. And scalp scrubs !? I LOVE my Briogeo scalp scrub…it’s made such a huge difference in my hair! This has opened my eyes like crazy!! Keep doing what you’re doing and you definitely gained my follow !
The attraction natural and organic for me has to do with animal testing, polluting water ways and endocrine disrupters. I wish brands would address the core issues and concerns instead of green washing.
I am a 40+ year veteran stylist. Barber, Cosmetologist, Æstetician and teacher of all. I worked in London. I ran a Redken Ambassador Salon. Redken is a solid product line that will still be here when Paul Mitchell, Bed Head and all the rest are long gone.
I will say that Bondi Boost products are my hair soulmate. I have used them for years and compared to other shampoo and conditioner it makes my hair so soft and healthy feeling. I also had a bald spot that is now gone. I use the leave in as well!
I love you man -you impart your hair knowledge in such a compelling way -love how you call BS when necessary and in your field it is likely often necessary-Thanks for bringging usup to speed on the dizzying choices there are to make or NoT make as the case may be. You save your viewers not only money but time and frustration. Keep up the great work and keep the firey spunk it becomes you!🥰 Blessings to you and yours all the way from Olive Branch, Mississippi (which is a stones throw away from Memphis, TN)🤍
Chris and Subs: OK here I am 68 yo. Am an RN, so three years ago went pn a deep research dive regarding hair/skin health; a journey for sure. I thank you for helping me grow out my hair so beautifully. I use your recommended products, standards of care and tools. Olaplex, a boar's bristle brushThe small investment was well worth it. I do take a great collagen supplement and a large prescription dose of Vit D for a low D3 level and a bit of osteoporosis and I think this has helped with some accelerated hair growth. However, your tips, tricks and products have made all the difference! Thank you sooooooooo much.
I have had hair long enough to sit on for years i face long hair haters daily saying im too old for long hair i should have wash and go hair, no! We r never too old for long hair, its up to each individual our hair is an expression of our individuality
I actually dumped all hair growth products recently! A few weeks ago, I found Blowout Professor and ALREADY my hair looks so much better! Because of your advice, Prof, I said NO when my stylist asked me if I wanted a trim - my ends look good now that I am following your advice! I have fine hair, and your advice has been game-changing. I have watched nearly all of your videos and started recommending your advice to others. I am still working on switching out products, but everything is going well, thank you! Keep it up! 🎉
Oh, and I have noticed less hair loss because of something else you recommended - a HUGE change was when I saw your hairbrush video, and I stopped trying to detangle my hair with a comb! I got a new OG detangling wet brush, and I am in awe. Thank you!
I'm 61 and over the last 5-10 years, my hair has gotten thin, brittle, and frizzy. I missed my soft and smooth hair so much, so I went to a new stylist a few weeks ago and told her my issues. It was pretty obvious so I doubt I needed to even tell her, but she used and recommended Olaplex products. I'd never heard of the brand, but I bought a starter bundle and my hair is already changing and smoothing. I can even see new growth which I didn't expect. Thanks for the great information. I just found your channel and you have a new subscriber here!
Chris. Love your videos and your honesty! Love that you’re not pushing a lot of expensive products that don’t actually work anyway. And love the humor as well!!
Sometimes it’s the hard water that makes our hair feel rough. I washed my hair at a friend’s house who has a softening water system and my hair looked and felt fantastic.😢☮️💜
I have a showerhead I bought off Amazo, and you just replace the filter cartridge every few months or so, depending on how rough your water is. I can attest it not only makes a huge difference in hair (we get so used to living with hard water etc. we don't even realize how it impacts us), but skin, as well.bI used to get itchy after my short, despite using shea butter, etc. Once I installed this showerhead, it stopped. Soon as I start to get itchy again, and/or my hair feels heavy, I know it's time to change the filter. One of the best things I've done for myself. And it's inexpensive.
I feel so much better that you explained organic products... I always thought less chemicals, my hair won't be damaged ETC but now I feel more comfortable trying out new things! Thank you!
I agree with all most 100% of this Chris, unfortunately i am allergic to sulfates. Wish i wasn't as I could take advantage of a lot of products. I also use sulfate free toothpaste. body washes with sulfates are the worst for me, using them over and over is the culprit, one time use seems ok, but repetition gets.
Me too! I followed his guide and bought the redken volume injection, my first professional shampoo ever. It was a huge investment for me but it makes my hair greasy faster than when I was using drugstore shampoo. I actually don't know anymore if trusting him about pro shampoo and drugstore shampoo is a good idea....
@@Zz1005cf I spent hundreds of dollars and while my hair was looking good, it started to fall out like crazy. I'm talking handfuls. Now I have all these redken products that I can't use.
@@Zz1005cfI definitely believe that professional shampoos are superior but I’ve never used Redken. Just because a product is expensive or liked by many people, that doesn’t guarantee you would like it. My scalp is sensitive and I had issues while I was using basic drugstore shampoos, so you’ll never see me reaching for them anymore. Not everyone has the same experience, some people could be happy using drugstore shampoos, but their formulations are still inferior, which would be expected.
@@GabbieCh I used Scruples products for years and had great results. Unfortunately their formulas changed (for the worse) when they merged or was bought by Beauty Elite Group. My search will continue.
I have that bondi boost shampoo and it’s helped me a lot with my frizzy hair . Idc if it causes hair growth or not but it has made my hair more healthier
Chris, love your content! Sometimes, I find myself falling back into the marketers' traps but here you are to reel us all back in. Btw, I love a good sulphate shampoo!
So I've been washing my hair incorrectly for the past 45 years! I've watched the videos, followed your advice and my hair has gone insanely soft. Here's to a bit of healthier length rather than a split ended mess! Let's do this 😁
Before I listened to Chris, I never ever ever thought I could go more than one day between washing my hair - it seemed to never grow, was super dry, so I chalked it up to the “bonuses” of being over 50. In the past, I had friends in gym classes who told me about dry shampoo, gotta try it, blah blah blah, but they were younger, had better hair than me, what do they know 😂? Now, I’m up to 5 days sometimes!!! Thanks to the “Emily in Paris” video that Chris did, I can still work out AND have good hair - amazing…truly. My hair is healthier, softer, getting longer, and I’m repairing some damage that I did before I watched the Revlon Blow-dry Brush video (oops). But it’s just so life changing to not have to wash my hair every day! Freedom! Forever grateful for Chris’ awesome and entertaining videos!!!
Chris! Your videos are absolutely amazing and have transformed my hair. I found you on TikTok last year (I miss your videos on the platform!) and found myself collecting every product you recommended for my hair type. I have regularly been getting highlights since middle school and have always struggled with hair growth and care, but since following your advice and product recommendations for almost a year now, my hair is finally the longest and healthiest it's ever been. I appreciate you so much and always look forward to your next video :) You are the holy grail of hair care!
Chris your videos are hysterical. PS. I watched the one on shampoo cleanliness and switched to the Redken volume one and it definitely gets my hair SUPER clean. TY!
@@ceciliarodriguez5615 The Olaplex website says #6 is a heat protectant for blow drying but not for ironing… I use Redken hot sets 22 which Chris recommends for iron work.
Hi, Chris! I am 12 and have damaged hair because I was only using Shampoo and Conditioner from Monat because both of my parents used to work for Monat. But after watching a tone of your videos and am excited to buy all of the products that you recommended for my hair type to make my hair healthy! Thank you so make, Chris! ❤
Monat is good . Very good. But you have to leave it for a while and then come back to it. Otherwise like you say it may damage your hair. I dont know how it works. I used many shampoos like from hairdressers but Monat was the best.
I am so thankful that I found Chris’s channel. I was looking for how to repair my hair that has broken and weeded from my water softener. I thought my hair was all falling out, but I think it’s just breaking and I’m still trying to find a way to prevent more breakage.
Because of you Chris, I switched to Purology shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner and I always wash twice and oil my hair too. You’ve saved my hair and I got my sister using Purology too and we both love them so much! Absolutely worth the money.
Believe it or not Head & Shoulders 2-1 is the perfect shampoo for me. I have tried the most expensive to the cheapest one, and I always come back to it. My scalp is extremely oily. That leaves me with dry ends. I just purchased Redken bonding treatment as you suggested. How should my routine be with H&S + Redken? My hair type is fine (55yrs old). I really like your videos because you say it like it is. Thanks for the work you do! On my way to healthier hair.
Another interesting trend I kinda fell into for a while is going all natural with historical hair care stuff like washing it with clay and using a boar bristle brush. I'd love to hear your take on that. I personally didn't like the buildup in my hair.
I was no poo for 7 years. My hair went from shine, 3a/3b, medium to thick and normal to the touch at 38 to a frizzy mess of 2b/2c/3a, fine, very opaque, dry, thin and... it fell. It gave me the appearance of androgenetic alopecia at 45 y old. I started with Deva and my hair just got worst and worst. I kept jumping brands thinking I needed to find one my hair liked. Then, my friends started asking me why I was straightening my beautiful curls and later what was happening because I was going bald basically. Believe me. Contrary to every curly girl I've heard online, my hair is very much celebrated by people that know and don't know me. 😂 So I heard them and decided to face my fears. Labs tests normal, an androgenic alopecia diagnosis, some video watching and some thinking later and I realized it could only be the no poo. I went back to the sulphates and silicones I used for 38 years without problems and I had to spend some $$ to recover my scalp and hair. It is been 4 years I left the no poo behind and my hair couldn't be better. I still care for it, but that is because I am 49 and the menopause is around the corner. I don't recommend going natural. If you do and your hair gets worse.... leave it asap! I could spend some pretty penny to recover my hair/scalp from the damage, but those that can't will face harsher times.
I tried honey as a no poo. It kinda worked but not that well. Used eggs for treatments and coconut oil to make it healthy. Worked for a short time. Baking soda ruined my hair badly. So did trying to straighten with natural oils. Walnut oil and a flat Iron don't go together because of flash point and avocado oil left a greasy mess hard to wash out. Shampoo and Conditioner are still the best bet for the least damage.
I can do that 👍 But spoiler: let them soak in hot water (sink/bowl). Throw in a little shampoo and use an old style toothbrush or similar to scrub it clean
I've been using Bondi Boost for years and the growth of my hair is insane. My hairdresser says it's the healtiest it's ever been. It used to get shorter and shorter everytime my hairdresser cut off the split ends, now it's gone from shoulder length to down to my lower back just by using bondi boost shampoo and conditioner.
My hair was falling out from my RA treatment and I started use the extreme length redken and my hair has so much regrowth and looks wonderful. So maybe they’re out hair soul mates
@kerryallen4665 I started years ago with the rapid repair as my hair was dry and brittle and then I moved to using the Hair Growth shampoo and conditioner. That's all I use.
I feel that last part about the strengthening products. For a long time I thought I was doing something wrong while growing my hair out because it was really weak and a lot thinner than it had been in the past. I tried all kinds of products and they never worked. Eventually I realized it was just my health. Improving my diet and later dealing with the root problem were the only things that made me see any improvements. It's a bit sad that there's no quick and easy solution for everybody out there who can't fix their health problems though :(
I'm binging your videos. Just cleaned my brushes. I realized I wasnt washing my hair thoroughly enough about a year ago and its made all the difference with dandruff. Lush has awesome 'natural' shampoo bars though. Those things can really strip your hair of oil. I thought it was too strong, but after watching your other videos about dry ends and greasy roots, I think I will switch to that and condition longer. Thanks for the tips!
I discovered that Nexxus is my shampoo about 10 years ago. I've been using it all this time & my hair is longer than ever with no breakage & my hair is looking the way I want it to!! It is so true about using quality products
I started following this channel, and was pleased with the information. Tonight, I see the Olaplex products, costing approximately $60 (shampoo/conditioner), are not good to use. These were the recommended products via the survey. The shelves in the background WERE stocked with Olaplex, now, Redken. Glad you are making more money from Redken. You're lucky YOU don't have hair in this game.
Here's my experience so far: I first bought Redken Volume injection combo. It was a game changer from the first wash. I've only felt my hair so clean and soft after a salon visit (except I hate the smell of whatever shampoo they use). Now I get to have it at home whenever I want. I can't believe my soulmate had been alone all this time 🥲 Next I got the heat protection, which I regret just because I don't style my hair that often, I don't know why I did that 🤦♀ And a couple of days ago I got the leave-in conditioner. I tried it on dry hair and I can't even describe how immediate the change was. Now I can't wait to try it properly on wash day. With it I'm now using some hair oil I had from the supermarket and a cheap dry shampoo if I need to extend the washing for a day or two now that it's summer and there's a lot of sweating going on. So I'm thinking, if the rest of the products have such immediate and obvious results, I'm going to have no problem keeping my hair healthy until they reach my butt. Next on the list is the oil and the blowout cream for winter, when I need the heat and hold.
What ia your hair type? I got the same shampoo recommended but previous experience with Redken shampoo making my hair as straw is making me not buy another one. Second, which leave in conditioner did you get? Not a single one seems to be working with my hair. I bought kérastase leave in cream magistrale and so far looks okay. We'll see if it changes anything. I'd really appreciate any extra detail you can give. Oh, and what does the shampoo smell like? I'm very sensitive to smells and thia is why I don't buy kérastase products usually.
@@mellinsomnia1 Hair type: Medium. At least that's what I'm going with from the explanation in his videos and the quiz, although I feel like my hair can do with a bit more oil/moisture than just medium hair. But that might be damage or the leftover dye. I would still recommend the shampoo and conditioner. Smells nice, the conditioner feels super hydrating and yeah, I don't know. Maybe your technic wasn't that good back then. For leave-in conditioner I got the color fanatic (which is what was recommended). But I haven't used any leave-in conditioners before because they are actually not available in our supermarkets. He also makes the distinction between leave-in conditioners and leave-in treatments (I'm just mentioning in case you haven't binged all his videos like me XP). The products all smell light and pretty, definitely not overpowering. I actually mentioned the salon experience, but here's more detail: Whenever I came back the smell would still be there for 3 days. It would get on my pillow when I laid down and I couldn't sleep with how overpowering it was around me. The Redken is definitely nothing like that. Neither is the leave-in. I hope that helps.
Dude is a HAIR GOD! I started taking his advice about 6-8 months ago and my hair is NOTICIBLY improved. Even my neighbor has commented on how long and pretty my hair has gotten. Note: I've also started taking vegetarian collagen from costco. That might have a lot to do with it too.🤷
My issue is I have a septic system that I can’t put sulphates into as it harms the system. So finding a good sulphate free shampoo is a necessity. Once I use up the cheap stuff I have I’m going to try the one from your recommended list. I didn’t know any salon brands were sulphate free until I saw your list. Please always have a sulphate free option on your list for those of us with no choice!
I have lived out in the country for 40 yrs and have used sulphate shampoos the whole time. Never had an issue with my system, ever. My friends with the septic systems with sprinkler systems use the same shampoos I do, and no issues.
I had a septic until I was 60 and had never heard that before. We didn't use septic tank-safe toilet paper or any other specially-made product. The gentleman who pumped our tank informed our family to buy 50 pounds of the cheapest dog food that we could find and dump it all in the tank. The enzymes it produced broke down anything that went into the tank. We did this and it was 8 years before the tank needed to be pumped. We didn't use Rid X or any other weekly product.
@@barbarahuck3136The sulfates could killed the bacteria that break down waste. The worst thing I ever found in a wastewater system is ‘flushable’ toilet paper. It does not degrade and it clogs up the system. I don’t care who writes flushable on their package. Pet peeve. Former wastewater treatment plant operator.
There are different types of septic systems. If you have a big tank that gets pumped out and nothing else it wouldn’t be an issue. Mine has a filter that puts the water back into the ground and we are located over an aquifer where we all pump our drinking water from and that connects to a lake that is only a few feet away. There are strict regulations on septic tanks where I live as a result.
Love your channel. Could you do a video dedicated to mature woman like going gray options, healthy color or no color and products best for gray/white hair and styling?
Yeah I second that request. I have white streak right on top of my head and my hair is not as silky as when young(though I get compliments on my hair) and it gets itchy.
My experience so far: Started my hair care routine about five weeks ago by buying the Redken shampoo and conditioner. Immediate change, I went from washing every other day to washing it every third day and planning to reduce even further to once a week some day. Lock-in conditioner was the game changer for me, also the hair oil for ends and treat for scalp when not washing only if I don't sweat too much on my scalp (because it's summer time), otherwise I use dry shampoo once the day before washing. I have fine straight hair, not too thick, about the length of shoulder blades. Also, taking in some more vitamins and caring about my health in general, I feel that makes a difference as well. So far, my hair shines more than before and I feel my scalp is enjoying the fewer washes. Treated myself with a blow dryer and shower cap plus sleeping cap. I am still getting used to the changes, but I really want my hair to grow thick and long and I feel I am on a good way to reach this goal. Thanks to this channel. 😍
Redken cream cleansing once a week and volume injection every other day. This is the best I have accomplished since I used to wash everyday and it didn’t even looked clean.
I found your channel in order to find a brush just today and in a span of 5 hours I've already bought 4 productsfor my hair (I was looking for them for a year). Your channel is a real kick start for building hair treatment
You are the hair king I’ve always loved my hair and no a lot about hair but you’re tips and products have amplified my routine. I miss you’re videos on TikTok and I’m sure so many other people have too
Hey Chris, I cannot thank you enough for your elaborate videos on keeping hair healthy. I accidentally stumbled upon your channel and god I feel like it was some kind of universal interference because I was spending way too much on expensive hair products. Nothing worked. I followed your trinity routine and after shower routine with my current products (I don’t want to trash ’em). Wow ! Just wow! I also ordered your recommended products because I am sure it will bring even better results. I have never felt so confident with leaving my hair down. It’s fine and shoulder length but I hope to grow my length and make it thicker. You are a saviour !!!
Personally, I love olaplex 4&5 because my post skin cancer scalp will get irritated with everything and anything but olaplex. I use olaplex 3 for reparation, sure, but 4 gets my hair clean and my scalp fine. I agree though, I’d never use the olaplex whole line.
on the topic of sustainable hair care, can you make a video about bar shampoo and conditioner? I've been using them for about a year and I like them, but I've only tried two and they're very different from each other!
Bondi Boost HG Shampoo doesn't have biotin in it. It does have some ingredients that could be helpful for hair that is thinning. It isn't for growing longer hair it is for scalp health for people with thinning hair.
Great, I started your Trinity system & my fine, thin, color treated hair is much better shape. Could you list Brands & what we should use, I’m confused? Bought Purology Strength Cure, jumbo size, what should I use? Should I throw it out? It may do more harm than good🤷♀️
I have grown my hair using Bondi Boost HG. My hairdresser used to have to cut so much off my hair now it's so healthy and gone from shoulder length to my lower back.
Exactly I have very low ferritin but normal hemoglobin. My hair is thin. my shampoo soulmate is hask Argan oil shampoo. 1 L costs💲10. Smells amazing and you only need little. It’s not diluted. Your content always informative. Thank you 😊
There's a trend in Poland where a lot of cosmetics have "90% natural ingridients", "98% natural ingridients" - but in reality, most of it is very natural water, some oils, things like that. Also - everything has chemicals. Literally everything that exists is made of atoms, which pair together, and those pairs pair with different ones to create compounds. And if one compound works it will work the same regardless of its origin. You can take it from a plant (quite often with significant costs to the eco system) or you can produce it in a lab. Check insulin, how to get "natural" one and why we make it "in the artificial way". Same rule applies to everything that works, meaning has an active ingridient. We still don't know how to make artificial lanoline, as far as I know, we only get it from sheep's wool, so long way ahead.
Hello Chris 😊 Thank you so much for your recommendations. I bought the items you suggested and first wash and treatment my hair just acted the way it should. Very happy. I've very fine curly copper titian coloured hair and for years I obviously was using the wrong products. I can finally embrace my curl before I fully turn snow. Wave out from Aotearoa New Zealand ❤
I find that, because I have scalp psoriasis, sulfate-free shampoos help me to avoid additional build-up. I’m not sure if you have looked into this but there are so many of us out there with psoriasis, it would really help if you could recommend a routine and products for this. PS love the videos. I have taken some of your tips and recommendations and find them to help quite a bit.
My Mum's gone back on Neutogenas T-gel and I can't believe how massiveli improved her scalp psoriasis is! All the previously red raised areas are now flat and not red like regular skin, and there's the tiniest bit of flaking - probably reduced by 90%! I know everyone's different and might not get the same results but I just wanted to share in case someone hasn't tried it before.
Just ask for it in pharmacy , many of them. He said that organic is shit but I compare ingredients with normal shampoo and the “not organic” ones are full of preservatives and endocrine disrupters… which are very bad for our general health. Fertility, hormones even cancer … I stick with organic bio staff for more than a year and my hair grow like crazy.
I also use sulphate-free shampoos now and have psoriasis, but that's mostly because sulphate-free shampoos are generally formulated to be really gentle and so don't irritate my scalp more than necessary. I've been using the herbal essence aloe and mango one because... well, it's the cheapest one that worked for my hair. When the psoriasis flairs up though, I got coal tar shampoo from the pharmacy. It smells absolutely horrible but it really settles things down fast. If it's really bad, there are also non-topical options, like biologics, but they are generally only used when the psoriasis is worse than the numerous side effects of the medication.
I would suggest looking into pine tar sol shampoos! They're definitely harsher on your hair (need a good conditioner) but, I did find it really effective used once or twice a week at removing build up when necessary. Don't have psoriasis but I do have eczema that flares where ever it wants and in general found products with it really good because it reduces inflammation as well.
I make my own shampoo absolutely customized to my needs and everyone's always asking my hair rutine. I do this because I am very allergic to Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which most shampoos have (professional or not). I'll have to admit it is a great cleanser but my scalp and skin cries everytime. It is very cheap, easy to make and keeps my hair and most important my scalp healthy. However, this guy is right! A lot of hair products in the market say "natural", "organic" and bla bla. But never true.
Dont you need to shampoo the product/oil build-up first before apply the redkin bond repair concentrate? How does the bond repair work if you have build up on your hair?
Fellow hairstylist here 🙋🏻♀️ I agree with most of this list but I do have to say that when it comes to clean shampoos, these were not only designed to “save the planet”. These shampoos can be helpful for women with PCOS or other hormonal issues in that their bodies are absorbing less harmful chemicals that affect the condition. 😊
@@laurenskee2665 They aren’t there as medication. Clean shampoos are designed to help reduce the amount of chemicals that you absorb. Think of it this way, it’s one less product that you don’t have to worry about as much. There are some shampoos out there that are so so bad for you and toxic.
Ok you were on a role til you said redken . Redken doe not claim to grow your hair it is to help maintain your length and prevent breakage and seal the split ends. I started using it and the protein in it helped stop my hair from being so fragile after washing and strengthening the cuticle. I would not say use it every day for the rest of your life but hair goes through changes like our bodies and this product helped me balance using moisture products and protein products because I live in a humid state. My hair had not grown pass my mid back. this helped to strengthen my hair and assisted its growth,
Hello from another humid environment 👋! About how often do you use it and what is your hair type? I struggle because I’m growing out bleach damage. So I feel like I have a combo of things to balance. A side note, not sure if you have one, but Sally’s beauty supply has a product called Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor that I try to remember when I damage my hair. Which I forgot about until I just started reply to your comment ha! I’ve always loved how the Redken Length one smells. How does it do overall?
Your knowledge is amazing but I do really wish that you could also provide suggestions that are natural or product recommendations which are budget friendly. Because healthy hair and skin is something that everyone deserves.
Hi Chris, I had a hair disaster at the end of April. My stylist over processed my hair and its been breaking off all summer. I had to do a major haircut to get rid of as much damage as possible. Been using your recommended products but some seem applicable for very short hair. Could you do a video on short hair?
I agree with everything except the sulfate thing. Every time I use a shampoo with sulfates my hair falls out in CLUMPS and it’s incredibly itchy so sulfate free for me it is 🤷🏼♀️ I definitely plan on getting that redken repair product though
Also- my toothpaste doesn’t have sulfates. I avoid them like the plague. The “natural” shampoos he was showing were really crappy cheap ones like suave.
Im following your advice and is the only thing that help my hair 🎉🎉 the redken intensive repair is the best product I’ve ever try and I tried so many!!!! Thank you!!!
I found that only using shampoo like once a month or if actually dirty, besides that just room temp water then conditioner...take vitamins for hair and nails if you don't get enough from your food....really diet is a better way to address these issues.
I was going to try a bunch of the recommended products and routines months ago, but it's way too freaking expensive. So all I changed was getting a Wet brush and I think it's helped. I tried washing twice and that was a nightmare, like everything was stripped from my scalp. I can go a few weeks between washes without my hair getting gross. My scalp didn't like the hard well water I moved to so I tried Apple Cider Vinegar rinses but it was a hassle, so I tried a few shampoo samples with ACV/detox labels including Ouai. They worked but Ouai is way expensive, so I tried Pura d'Or ACV Thin2Thick Shampoo and conditioner and they work well, no more hairline scalp flakes (didn't make my hair thicker), but a stylist told me I had a lot of breakage making it seem like I had thinner hair than I do. So I've been using Dove Hair Therapy Breakage Remedy conditioner (I know! The horror: cheap product promising fixes!) and I like the results of the two brands. It's been a few months of the brush and conditioner change and lately I've been thinking my hair feels a lot thicker where it was thin before, so I'm hoping there's been less breakage.

thank you so much for this.....i often don't have time to sit and listen for everything so having a list of it or timestamps of everything is always very appreciated.
Does chemical exfoliators for the scalp count as scalp scrub?
I have seen many influencers say that you need to buy a salicylic acid exfoliator for the scalp to grow healthier hair
Thank you ❤
Scalp scrub removed My buildup
He's the only hair stylist who doesn't promote a particular brand or add more items for a healthy hair routine. Instead, he tells us to use right products in right quantity and at the right time. 😊
What about k18? Is that considered bond repair? I tried the redken bonding line when it first came out and it totally stripped my just colored hair
@@alishasanchez77 I’ve had nice results w/K18😉
He's the best.
His production recommendation list never changes and I've been using them for almost a year now - restocking whenever I'm out. My hair is almost the longest and healthiest it's ever been. He makes hair care so simple, just like your skincare routine should be!
Moroccan oil behind him ist no publicity… right? 😂😅😂
I think its really classy that he included Redken products in his not-to-buy list, considering how often he promotes Redken for other things. Speaks volumes about his credibility and professionalism, thank you!
Seriously, for me, personally, redken has been amazing on my hair,
He was referring to any hair products that promises hair growth, even the Redken hair growth, if they have that product.
He promotes specific products from Redken.
@@yojalma .. exactly..hes a great salesman..🤣🤣
I felt the same way about olaplex. everywhere loves that and he did say what products they have that are good, and what to avoid. I adore his advice
The honesty and no BS here is so refreshing. Thank you!
How many hours do you have to listen to get to the answer?
Thanks to you, I purchased the redken repair mask. My hair has been brittle and damaged but since using it for a literally 3 weeks, I’ve seen such an improvement, even my hairdresser agreed and everyone compliments how shiny and soft it is
Chris, I am 72 and I have long (waist length) hair that I keep dyed to my natural colour, Irish copper. I was about to have it all cut off until I found you on my TH-cam feed December 2022. I went on a deep dive and followed your recommendations for dry, damaged hair. I stocked up on the products you recommended and I have not looked back. I can honestly say that my hair has never looked better. Thank you for the education that I received on your channel. Now I really look forward to your videos!
So what do you do now instead of before?
I need a list of all the products you use. Please and thank you!
I’m contemplating doing a big chop out of frustration and sometimes contemplating starting over, even though I know that’s not the issue.
@@Demi1369take the hair quiz, trust me!!
So happy for you!
I'm 60 with s curves in my hair, my hair is at my waist and more healthy now than ever before and it's only because I found Chris's TH-cam channel and purchased all recommended products, yep never going back!!
I had percolated coffee spill on me when I was 2 years old, I tipped a saucer. The coffee ran down my head, mainly my left side and for so long I had no curl what so ever but was born with ringlets, now those ringlets are finally getting the chance to shine and it's all because I found this channel. ❤

I take iodine drops and my hair doesn’t fall out
@PestilentAura bro they made only ONE LETTER mistake, not what you said.
So his method really works. My hair is thinning, sheds and grows slow also my part is a little bit wide.
Absolutely right with the keratin products. I used a shampoo with it for about six months but not because of the keratin just cause I liked it. Finally figured out in May that it was leaving my hair with a weird smell like it hadn’t even been washed. Just so other women know it is not your towel leaving your hair smelling that way it’s the shampoo just trust me on this one.
Clay and African Black Soap are my shampoo soul mates. I just quit using anything commercial and my hair grew like 4 inches. But I also had to learn how to not to break it. Nice to hear some regular products that wouldn’t destroy my hair.
I just found your videos. I don't comment a lot, but I want to tell you how much I truly appreciate you breaking things down so that anyone can understand. And you even speak at a slower pace to allow it all to sink in. You seem very genuine. I appreciate you making these videos for the regular person like me! Thank you!
THANK YOU for mentioning both the whole "system" thing and the "natural/organic/clean" thing. I tell this to people all the time! My shampoo, conditioner, and stylers are all from different brands because the *products* work for me. Same for my skincare. And I've had allergies since I was three and everything I'm allergic to is "natural/organic/clean" and I have to use synthetic medications to prevent or heal from the problems they cause for me.
Good points. The 'natural' crap doesn't work for me either from most brands unless it's plant based & has zero synthetic fragrance. I'm highly allergic to synthetic fragrance, as in I can't use or touch it. I've gotten hives on my wrist from having it on a shopping cart handle while shopping one day. My hands itched for a week after using the wrong soap because we were at a restaurant & it's all they had available (I now carry my own plant based soap in a travel bottle in my purse & always have unscented baby wipes & sanitizer too). Allergies are awful. & I'm on synthetic meds too for hypothyroidism & other stuff). Good luck🍀 managing your allergies & disorders. ❤💚🌷
Fragrance free products are also great, especially for laundry & household cleaners. I also always keep at least my socks on at other peoples houses because floor cleaners can & have given me itchy feet due to allergy to synthetic fragrance. I even had itchy feet after wearing thin socks at a friend's house! It sucked.
My boyfriend called my (wanting to) try new products Allergy Roulette. 😅 I just wanted to try a different deodorant. 😢 He had a good point though.
9:38 coconut and soy derivatives are common allergens (coco betaine, cocomidapropyl, etc.) but are in almost every shampoo on the shelf.
are u using SLE/SLS free products and avoiding propylene glycol?
I found Giovanni is one of the products working very well for me, I have difrent products that I use, Marc Anthony, John Frieda, some of Creightons products, mind you, I don't use a range of any of these, I use what works for me, and I stopped using hair serums I make my own hair oils and use a few drops to touch up my ends and even rub into my scalp...
First, your video editor is A+ in capturing and smokyfyibg your most excellent vibe. Second, I keep waiting for you to sell out and start repping some brand and sponsoring videos, but you've maintained your integrity. It's why folks trust you, and that's a super power these days. Bravo!
He recommends mostly Redken so I think he gets something from them.
@@stargazerbirdhe only recommends a few of Redken's products. He did a whole review of every Redken shampoo and conditioner and he rates each one and he doesn't love many of them.
I'm one of those people who buys "natural" products and reads labels. You're not wrong! 😄 Thanks for pulling me out of the consumer haze. Seriously. Also, I love that you're all for whatever works for your hair type, mixing brands. New subscriber!
"Natural" products ruined my skin. The perfume and alcohol in it are too strong
He's wrong on a few points. There's loads of natural products out there and some are better than others, like with anything. You just have to find what works for you. Some of them do just replace buzzwords with an equivalent; some genuinely use better ingredients. Saying "you'll use sulfates in toothpaste anyway" is not only ignoring all of the sulfate free toothpastes out there, but why would you use more if you don't have to? Not to mention people that don't want to use endocrine disrupting chemicals or have allergies to certain ingredients. It's reductive to say all natural products are the same.
@@ellarothsky you are so right. I am allergic to sodium laureth sulfate and other sylicons, which almost every shampoo has in their formula, so after getting some classes, I started making my own shampoo. It's been 3 years by now, and I have saved tons of money and my hair and scalp are so healthy. Customized products are the way to go, you know exactly what goes into your head.
Just wow! Genuine advice from a true expert who cares about the hair health. Love your channel! Thanks!
Hey! I’ve been following your advice for about 8 months and it has transformed my hair. I got my first hair compliment from my facial specialist last week!! She said it was so thick 😍 my hair was thick as a child, but thinned out with damage. My hair is back! I’m so happy and thank you ❤
Can you please tell what did u do
More important to me than ‘natural’ is cruelty free. That is hard to find outside of companies promoting natural products.
Very true.
There is no such thing as cruelty free. Not truly. Most of these brands boasting this BS are using ingredients previously tested in animals that are known to be safe, including when combined.
So, they are boasting bs over someone elses achievements.
Safe huh???
Let's see if anyone will bring a entirely new formulation with brand new substances that were never tested... and see if those pesky skin problems and allergies won't make an appearance.
Yes I only buy Cruelty free
Same here
I will only buy cruelty-free also. Olaplex is cruelty-free but I don't like their shampoo. It's a 10 is cruelty-free, so is CHI, Joico (I think), Pureology, Alterna, Amika, Shea Moisture (drugstore brand makes a nice clarifying shampoo) and Moroccan Oil is cruelty free also. For a larger list check Cruelty Free Kitty or Ethical Elephant. Don't bother with PETA because they will say a company is cruelty free if they pay 3rd party companies to do their testing
I can’t say thank you enough. I am so grateful that I found your channel. I went to the salon for the 1st time in about 6 months and my stylist could not believe how full and healthy my hair was. I’ve been seeing her for a decade and this was the healthiest she’d seen it. I’ll be 44 next month and yesterday was the first time in years I was able to choose a haircut because I liked it and not just something that made it look fuller. You are changing lives. ❤
What did you do if I can ask to get the hair full and healthy?
What did you do to your hair?
Sounds like bot comments
Listen, Chris and Leslie. I am already have my perfect hair routine for the rest of my life thanks to you, guys (I’ve found my soulmate shampoo and conditioner, I use Leave in Conditioner and oil for ends… everything according to your Recommended list), but I can’t stop watching your videos because they are so such cool made. I give a standing ovation to your video-editor / video-maker 👏👏👏 When I watch your videos I feel enjoying 🤩👍
With love from Ukrainians 🇺🇦🩵💛
Haha I started doing this last night cause I watched his video, makes so much since you have to take care of mids and ends!!
Slava Ukraini!
I switched from all-natural shampoo to Olaplex and still felt like my hair was weighed down and never fully clean. 9 months ago, I saw this guy's recommended hair products video and started using the Redken volume shampoo. I went from having to wash my hair every other day to every 2-3 days with some dry shampoo and now I only wash my hair every 4-6 days and barely have to use dry shampoo. I don't need to use as much heat as before because my hair isn't oily and weighed down and It's grown sooo much!
Dude. You had me at “You don’t need to use the system…” or whatever zillion products. I love you’re not selling tons of stuff.
This man is my hair savior
Amen!

@@ShaeLaughter right !
My question is how important is hair porosity? And how do you determine your hair porosity? YOU are my all-time fave hair care channel. Just ordered my first two products from your list.
I’m a stylist and your frank words are so welcomed. There is so much crap in shampoo. As you said it coats the hair and makes it heavy. Loved you TH-cam channel.😊
Thank you for pointing out the “clean” operation the big companies are doing to get us to throw all our money at them. And scalp scrubs !? I LOVE my Briogeo scalp scrub…it’s made such a huge difference in my hair! This has opened my eyes like crazy!! Keep doing what you’re doing and you definitely gained my follow !
The attraction natural and organic for me has to do with animal testing, polluting water ways and endocrine disrupters. I wish brands would address the core issues and concerns instead of green washing.

What about shampoo bars and conditioners?
@@aquaillusiongirlMorrocco Method makes some great non-toxic shampoo bars and detangling mists. I have thick mid-thigh length and self-lightened hair.

Chris and Subs: OK here I am 68 yo. Am an RN, so three years ago went pn a deep research dive regarding hair/skin health; a journey for sure. I thank you for helping me grow out my hair so beautifully. I use your recommended products, standards of care and tools. Olaplex, a boar's bristle brushThe small investment was well worth it. I do take a great collagen supplement and a large prescription dose of Vit D for a low D3 level and a bit of osteoporosis and I think this has helped with some accelerated hair growth. However, your tips, tricks and products have made all the difference! Thank you sooooooooo much.
I have had hair long enough to sit on for years i face long hair haters daily saying im too old for long hair i should have wash and go hair, no! We r never too old for long hair, its up to each individual our hair is an expression of our individuality
I'm 63 @ my hair is 3 ft long!! It'll be cut when I pass and given to my youngest son at his request.
Ask them who made them boss of your life😂
I'm 60 and had hair to my mid back. Got caught up in that rhetoric and lopped off 4 inches. Regrets. Now trying to grow it back. Never again.
Almost sixty with long hair. The less you do to hair, the better. Wash once a week. Use loads of conditioner.
I agree 💯 I’m 60 and have had short hair before and looks good on other people but not for me. Love all the styles I can do with longer hair
I've always liked joico Hair products.. Would you consider them a reputable professional brand?
I actually dumped all hair growth products recently! A few weeks ago, I found Blowout Professor and ALREADY my hair looks so much better! Because of your advice, Prof, I said NO when my stylist asked me if I wanted a trim - my ends look good now that I am following your advice! I have fine hair, and your advice has been game-changing. I have watched nearly all of your videos and started recommending your advice to others. I am still working on switching out products, but everything is going well, thank you! Keep it up! 🎉
Oh, and I have noticed less hair loss because of something else you recommended - a HUGE change was when I saw your hairbrush video, and I stopped trying to detangle my hair with a comb! I got a new OG detangling wet brush, and I am in awe. Thank you!
I'm 61 and over the last 5-10 years, my hair has gotten thin, brittle, and frizzy. I missed my soft and smooth hair so much, so I went to a new stylist a few weeks ago and told her my issues. It was pretty obvious so I doubt I needed to even tell her, but she used and recommended Olaplex products. I'd never heard of the brand, but I bought a starter bundle and my hair is already changing and smoothing. I can even see new growth which I didn't expect. Thanks for the great information. I just found your channel and you have a new subscriber here!
Chris. Love your videos and your honesty! Love that you’re not pushing a lot of expensive products that don’t actually work anyway. And love the humor as well!!
Sometimes it’s the hard water that makes our hair feel rough. I washed my hair at a friend’s house who has a softening water system and my hair looked and felt fantastic.😢☮️💜
Idk how well they work but you can buy a showerhead with a filter to get softer water
I have a showerhead I bought off Amazo, and you just replace the filter cartridge every few months or so, depending on how rough your water is. I can attest it not only makes a huge difference in hair (we get so used to living with hard water etc. we don't even realize how it impacts us), but skin, as well.bI used to get itchy after my short, despite using shea butter, etc. Once I installed this showerhead, it stopped. Soon as I start to get itchy again, and/or my hair feels heavy, I know it's time to change the filter. One of the best things I've done for myself. And it's inexpensive.
You can use a bottle of water as it is the one you drink as the last rinse.
I feel so much better that you explained organic products... I always thought less chemicals, my hair won't be damaged ETC but now I feel more comfortable trying out new things! Thank you!
I adore the redken acidic bonding line. It makes my hair look and feel amazing.
I agree with all most 100% of this Chris, unfortunately i am allergic to sulfates. Wish i wasn't as I could take advantage of a lot of products. I also use sulfate free toothpaste.
body washes with sulfates are the worst for me, using them over and over is the culprit, one time use seems ok, but repetition gets.
I'm still looking for my shampoo/conditioner soul mate. Redken wasn't it......
Me too! I followed his guide and bought the redken volume injection, my first professional shampoo ever. It was a huge investment for me but it makes my hair greasy faster than when I was using drugstore shampoo. I actually don't know anymore if trusting him about pro shampoo and drugstore shampoo is a good idea....
@@Zz1005cf I spent hundreds of dollars and while my hair was looking good, it started to fall out like crazy. I'm talking handfuls. Now I have all these redken products that I can't use.
@@Zz1005cfI definitely believe that professional shampoos are superior but I’ve never used Redken. Just because a product is expensive or liked by many people, that doesn’t guarantee you would like it. My scalp is sensitive and I had issues while I was using basic drugstore shampoos, so you’ll never see me reaching for them anymore. Not everyone has the same experience, some people could be happy using drugstore shampoos, but their formulations are still inferior, which would be expected.
Try vegamour or kerastase
@@GabbieCh I used Scruples products for years and had great results. Unfortunately their formulas changed (for the worse) when they merged or was bought by Beauty Elite Group. My search will continue.
My hair has been growing healthy and long since following his advice. Seeing a huge difference and texture improvement in only one month 👏
I have that bondi boost shampoo and it’s helped me a lot with my frizzy hair . Idc if it causes hair growth or not but it has made my hair more healthier
Chris, love your content! Sometimes, I find myself falling back into the marketers' traps but here you are to reel us all back in. Btw, I love a good sulphate shampoo!
So I've been washing my hair incorrectly for the past 45 years! I've watched the videos, followed your advice and my hair has gone insanely soft. Here's to a bit of healthier length rather than a split ended mess! Let's do this 😁
I thought the same thing.. 😳🤔 What's the right was to wash hair..?
@amyharr2447 See his video called "Hair washing mistakes that will ruin your hair - How to properly wash your hair". It taught me a lesson 😊
Before I listened to Chris, I never ever ever thought I could go more than one day between washing my hair - it seemed to never grow, was super dry, so I chalked it up to the “bonuses” of being over 50. In the past, I had friends in gym classes who told me about dry shampoo, gotta try it, blah blah blah, but they were younger, had better hair than me, what do they know 😂? Now, I’m up to 5 days sometimes!!! Thanks to the “Emily in Paris” video that Chris did, I can still work out AND have good hair - amazing…truly. My hair is healthier, softer, getting longer, and I’m repairing some damage that I did before I watched the Revlon Blow-dry Brush video (oops). But it’s just so life changing to not have to wash my hair every day! Freedom! Forever grateful for Chris’ awesome and entertaining videos!!!
I take Biotin. I use castor oil once a week or so on my scalp, rosemary water spray.
Chris! Your videos are absolutely amazing and have transformed my hair. I found you on TikTok last year (I miss your videos on the platform!) and found myself collecting every product you recommended for my hair type. I have regularly been getting highlights since middle school and have always struggled with hair growth and care, but since following your advice and product recommendations for almost a year now, my hair is finally the longest and healthiest it's ever been. I appreciate you so much and always look forward to your next video :) You are the holy grail of hair care!
Which products in particular ?? :)
Chris your videos are hysterical. PS. I watched the one on shampoo cleanliness and switched to the Redken volume one and it definitely gets my hair SUPER clean. TY!
Just bought the Redken big blowout gel. Most of the reviews said they bought it thanks to you, Chris. Can't wait to use it!
I did too, but I like Olaplex #6 better.
I thought it was just me. I like olaplex 6 better too!
But Olaplex 6 isn’t a heat protectant though?
Don’t use Olaplex! Major lawsuit and causing lots of damage. Choose something else for now, until it’s all resolved

My sister got onto Monat, at first it was really good but then she got the worst dandruff of her life.
I am so thankful that I found Chris’s channel. I was looking for how to repair my hair that has broken and weeded from my water softener. I thought my hair was all falling out, but I think it’s just breaking and I’m still trying to find a way to prevent more breakage.
Because of you Chris, I switched to Purology shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner and I always wash twice and oil my hair too. You’ve saved my hair and I got my sister using Purology too and we both love them so much! Absolutely worth the money.
Same! Pureology has changed my hair!
Pureology made my hair dryer than it’s ever been and so frizzy! It’s definitely not for everyone 😢
@@faithg3749same! It was breaking off so badly.
There is sooooo much perfume in Purology my scalp itches instantly. I can’t stand it.
Believe it or not Head & Shoulders 2-1 is the perfect shampoo for me. I have tried the most expensive to the cheapest one, and I always come back to it. My scalp is extremely oily. That leaves me with dry ends. I just purchased Redken bonding treatment as you suggested. How should my routine be with H&S + Redken? My hair type is fine (55yrs old). I really like your videos because you say it like it is. Thanks for the work you do! On my way to healthier hair.
Another interesting trend I kinda fell into for a while is going all natural with historical hair care stuff like washing it with clay and using a boar bristle brush. I'd love to hear your take on that. I personally didn't like the buildup in my hair.
Same!
@@justalittlebitmo saame, love it! It's just not enough to get rid of my oily roots like some claims I saw. Can't replace washing.
I was no poo for 7 years. My hair went from shine, 3a/3b, medium to thick and normal to the touch at 38 to a frizzy mess of 2b/2c/3a, fine, very opaque, dry, thin and... it fell. It gave me the appearance of androgenetic alopecia at 45 y old.
I started with Deva and my hair just got worst and worst. I kept jumping brands thinking I needed to find one my hair liked. Then, my friends started asking me why I was straightening my beautiful curls and later what was happening because I was going bald basically.
Believe me. Contrary to every curly girl I've heard online, my hair is very much celebrated by people that know and don't know me. 😂 So I heard them and decided to face my fears.
Labs tests normal, an androgenic alopecia diagnosis, some video watching and some thinking later and I realized it could only be the no poo.
I went back to the sulphates and silicones I used for 38 years without problems and I had to spend some $$ to recover my scalp and hair. It is been 4 years I left the no poo behind and my hair couldn't be better.
I still care for it, but that is because I am 49 and the menopause is around the corner.
I don't recommend going natural. If you do and your hair gets worse.... leave it asap! I could spend some pretty penny to recover my hair/scalp from the damage, but those that can't will face harsher times.
Katherine Sewing channel?
I tried honey as a no poo. It kinda worked but not that well. Used eggs for treatments and coconut oil to make it healthy. Worked for a short time. Baking soda ruined my hair badly. So did trying to straighten with natural oils. Walnut oil and a flat Iron don't go together because of flash point and avocado oil left a greasy mess hard to wash out. Shampoo and Conditioner are still the best bet for the least damage.
My problem is scalp psoriasis. Sulfates send my scalp into overdrive itching. I do fine with any shampoo as long as the sulfates aren’t there.
How often should hair be washed? Especially this time of year… “shedding season “
I love your no bs approach.
Can you please make a video on how to propwrly wash your hair brushes?! 😊
I can do that 👍 But spoiler: let them soak in hot water (sink/bowl). Throw in a little shampoo and use an old style toothbrush or similar to scrub it clean
@BlowoutProfessor thank you so much! I knew you'd have a secret to it - I've never used a tooth brush to do it :)
I soak them in hot water in my sink and sprinkle some baking soda. It gets all the gross stuff off and I dont have to do anything!
I just boil mine for a few mins.
And use a denture brush to get any gunk. The little side is perfect. Big side gets hair out like a dream
I've been using Bondi Boost for years and the growth of my hair is insane. My hairdresser says it's the healtiest it's ever been. It used to get shorter and shorter everytime my hairdresser cut off the split ends, now it's gone from shoulder length to down to my lower back just by using bondi boost shampoo and conditioner.
My hair was falling out from my RA treatment and I started use the extreme length redken and my hair has so much regrowth and looks wonderful. So maybe they’re out hair soul mates
What products from bondi are you using?
@kerryallen4665 I started years ago with the rapid repair as my hair was dry and brittle and then I moved to using the Hair Growth shampoo and conditioner. That's all I use.
@@jaquimeehan2743 thank you!
I feel that last part about the strengthening products. For a long time I thought I was doing something wrong while growing my hair out because it was really weak and a lot thinner than it had been in the past. I tried all kinds of products and they never worked. Eventually I realized it was just my health. Improving my diet and later dealing with the root problem were the only things that made me see any improvements. It's a bit sad that there's no quick and easy solution for everybody out there who can't fix their health problems though :(
I'm binging your videos. Just cleaned my brushes. I realized I wasnt washing my hair thoroughly enough about a year ago and its made all the difference with dandruff. Lush has awesome 'natural' shampoo bars though. Those things can really strip your hair of oil. I thought it was too strong, but after watching your other videos about dry ends and greasy roots, I think I will switch to that and condition longer. Thanks for the tips!
I discovered that Nexxus is my shampoo about 10 years ago. I've been using it all this time & my hair is longer than ever with no breakage & my hair is looking the way I want it to!! It is so true about using quality products
I started following this channel, and was pleased with the information.
Tonight, I see the Olaplex products, costing approximately $60 (shampoo/conditioner), are not good to use. These were the recommended products via the survey. The shelves in the background WERE stocked with Olaplex, now, Redken.
Glad you are making more money from Redken.
You're lucky YOU don't have hair in this game.
My hair looks the best it’s ever looked thanks to your advice! Thank you!
Same ❤
Here's my experience so far:
I first bought Redken Volume injection combo. It was a game changer from the first wash. I've only felt my hair so clean and soft after a salon visit (except I hate the smell of whatever shampoo they use). Now I get to have it at home whenever I want. I can't believe my soulmate had been alone all this time 🥲
Next I got the heat protection, which I regret just because I don't style my hair that often, I don't know why I did that 🤦♀
And a couple of days ago I got the leave-in conditioner. I tried it on dry hair and I can't even describe how immediate the change was. Now I can't wait to try it properly on wash day.
With it I'm now using some hair oil I had from the supermarket and a cheap dry shampoo if I need to extend the washing for a day or two now that it's summer and there's a lot of sweating going on.
So I'm thinking, if the rest of the products have such immediate and obvious results, I'm going to have no problem keeping my hair healthy until they reach my butt. Next on the list is the oil and the blowout cream for winter, when I need the heat and hold.
Go for it! You will never look back! Doing this for at least a year now
What ia your hair type? I got the same shampoo recommended but previous experience with Redken shampoo making my hair as straw is making me not buy another one. Second, which leave in conditioner did you get? Not a single one seems to be working with my hair. I bought kérastase leave in cream magistrale and so far looks okay. We'll see if it changes anything. I'd really appreciate any extra detail you can give. Oh, and what does the shampoo smell like? I'm very sensitive to smells and thia is why I don't buy kérastase products usually.
@@mellinsomnia1 The one he recommends- Pureology leave in conditoner
@@mellinsomnia1 Hair type: Medium. At least that's what I'm going with from the explanation in his videos and the quiz, although I feel like my hair can do with a bit more oil/moisture than just medium hair. But that might be damage or the leftover dye.
I would still recommend the shampoo and conditioner. Smells nice, the conditioner feels super hydrating and yeah, I don't know. Maybe your technic wasn't that good back then.
For leave-in conditioner I got the color fanatic (which is what was recommended). But I haven't used any leave-in conditioners before because they are actually not available in our supermarkets. He also makes the distinction between leave-in conditioners and leave-in treatments (I'm just mentioning in case you haven't binged all his videos like me XP). The products all smell light and pretty, definitely not overpowering. I actually mentioned the salon experience, but here's more detail: Whenever I came back the smell would still be there for 3 days. It would get on my pillow when I laid down and I couldn't sleep with how overpowering it was around me. The Redken is definitely nothing like that. Neither is the leave-in. I hope that helps.
Does anyone know if pureology is the same company as biolage.
Biolage gives me hives and asthma.
Dude is a HAIR GOD!
I started taking his advice about 6-8 months ago and my hair is NOTICIBLY improved. Even my neighbor has commented on how long and pretty my hair has gotten.
Note: I've also started taking vegetarian collagen from costco. That might have a lot to do with it too.🤷
Your honesty is so refreshing! Thank you
My issue is I have a septic system that I can’t put sulphates into as it harms the system. So finding a good sulphate free shampoo is a necessity. Once I use up the cheap stuff I have I’m going to try the one from your recommended list. I didn’t know any salon brands were sulphate free until I saw your list. Please always have a sulphate free option on your list for those of us with no choice!
I have lived out in the country for 40 yrs and have used sulphate shampoos the whole time. Never had an issue with my system, ever. My friends with the septic systems with sprinkler systems use the same shampoos I do, and no issues.
I had a septic until I was 60 and had never heard that before. We didn't use septic tank-safe toilet paper or any other specially-made product. The gentleman who pumped our tank informed our family to buy 50 pounds of the cheapest dog food that we could find and dump it all in the tank. The enzymes it produced broke down anything that went into the tank. We did this and it was 8 years before the tank needed to be pumped. We didn't use Rid X or any other weekly product.
You can see if they're sulfate free by reading the ingredients
@@barbarahuck3136The sulfates could killed the bacteria that break down waste. The worst thing I ever found in a wastewater system is ‘flushable’ toilet paper. It does not degrade and it clogs up the system. I don’t care who writes flushable on their package. Pet peeve. Former wastewater treatment plant operator.
There are different types of septic systems. If you have a big tank that gets pumped out and nothing else it wouldn’t be an issue. Mine has a filter that puts the water back into the ground and we are located over an aquifer where we all pump our drinking water from and that connects to a lake that is only a few feet away. There are strict regulations on septic tanks where I live as a result.
Love your channel. Could you do a video dedicated to mature woman like going gray options, healthy color or no color and products best for gray/white hair and styling?
Yeah I second that request. I have white streak right on top of my head and my hair is not as silky as when young(though I get compliments on my hair) and it gets itchy.
My experience so far: Started my hair care routine about five weeks ago by buying the Redken shampoo and conditioner. Immediate change, I went from washing every other day to washing it every third day and planning to reduce even further to once a week some day. Lock-in conditioner was the game changer for me, also the hair oil for ends and treat for scalp when not washing only if I don't sweat too much on my scalp (because it's summer time), otherwise I use dry shampoo once the day before washing. I have fine straight hair, not too thick, about the length of shoulder blades. Also, taking in some more vitamins and caring about my health in general, I feel that makes a difference as well. So far, my hair shines more than before and I feel my scalp is enjoying the fewer washes. Treated myself with a blow dryer and shower cap plus sleeping cap. I am still getting used to the changes, but I really want my hair to grow thick and long and I feel I am on a good way to reach this goal. Thanks to this channel. 😍
Which Redken did you get?
@@Little_Sidhe The pink one. It is from the recommended products list after I did the hair test.
Can you list/detail all the products you use? I’m curious to try your routine. 💕
@agnesr.4664 Thanks, I just purchased the ABC range. Having just combed out 7yo dreadlocks my hair has seen better days 😬
Redken cream cleansing once a week and volume injection every other day. This is the best I have accomplished since I used to wash everyday and it didn’t even looked clean.
I found your channel in order to find a brush just today and in a span of 5 hours I've already bought 4 productsfor my hair (I was looking for them for a year). Your channel is a real kick start for building hair treatment
You are the hair king I’ve always loved my hair and no a lot about hair but you’re tips and products have amplified my routine. I miss you’re videos on TikTok and I’m sure so many other people have too
Hey Chris, I cannot thank you enough for your elaborate videos on keeping hair healthy. I accidentally stumbled upon your channel and god I feel like it was some kind of universal interference because I was spending way too much on expensive hair products. Nothing worked. I followed your trinity routine and after shower routine with my current products (I don’t want to trash ’em). Wow ! Just wow! I also ordered your recommended products because I am sure it will bring even better results. I have never felt so confident with leaving my hair down. It’s fine and shoulder length but I hope to grow my length and make it thicker. You are a saviour !!!
Personally, I love olaplex 4&5 because my post skin cancer scalp will get irritated with everything and anything but olaplex. I use olaplex 3 for reparation, sure, but 4 gets my hair clean and my scalp fine.
I agree though, I’d never use the olaplex whole line.
Just binge watched several of your videos.... I've been doing my hair wrong for years 😮
Thanks so much for the tips and helpful advice 💜🙏
Happy I could be helpful :)
I love this channel, I havent seen this type of integrity online for a very long time. Keep up the great work! 😊
Im so glad you mentioned low iron. It may be my hair downfall since ive had low iron for a few years now and my hair has completely changed.
K18 hair mask completely changed my hair after the first use. I can’t wait to continue to see my hair transform!
Watch the video where he hates that product and doesn’t recommend.
@@cherieshepherd6362 Then he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about because K18 saved my then bleach-fried hair.
Saved my hair k18 brought my curls back I love it my hairdresser uses it on her curly hair and now has it in the salon it works for us
@@cherieshepherd6362 he didn’t say he hated repair products just repair shampoo
on the topic of sustainable hair care, can you make a video about bar shampoo and conditioner? I've been using them for about a year and I like them, but I've only tried two and they're very different from each other!
Bondi Boost HG Shampoo doesn't have biotin in it. It does have some ingredients that could be helpful for hair that is thinning. It isn't for growing longer hair it is for scalp health for people with thinning hair.
Great, I started your Trinity system & my fine, thin, color treated hair is much better shape.
Could you list Brands & what we should use, I’m confused? Bought Purology Strength Cure, jumbo size, what should I use? Should I throw it out? It may do more harm than good🤷♀️
I have grown my hair using Bondi Boost HG. My hairdresser used to have to cut so much off my hair now it's so healthy and gone from shoulder length to my lower back.
Bondiboost is life!! It has transformed my hair!!! 😁
Exactly I have very low ferritin but normal hemoglobin. My hair is thin. my shampoo soulmate is hask Argan oil shampoo. 1 L costs💲10. Smells amazing and you only need little. It’s not diluted. Your content always informative. Thank you 😊
There's a trend in Poland where a lot of cosmetics have "90% natural ingridients", "98% natural ingridients" - but in reality, most of it is very natural water, some oils, things like that. Also - everything has chemicals. Literally everything that exists is made of atoms, which pair together, and those pairs pair with different ones to create compounds. And if one compound works it will work the same regardless of its origin. You can take it from a plant (quite often with significant costs to the eco system) or you can produce it in a lab. Check insulin, how to get "natural" one and why we make it "in the artificial way". Same rule applies to everything that works, meaning has an active ingridient. We still don't know how to make artificial lanoline, as far as I know, we only get it from sheep's wool, so long way ahead.
Thank you! I am 50 years old and sadly learned most of these lessons the hard way.
Hello Chris 😊 Thank you so much for your recommendations. I bought the items you suggested and first wash and treatment my hair just acted the way it should. Very happy. I've very fine curly copper titian coloured hair and for years I obviously was using the wrong products. I can finally embrace my curl before I fully turn snow.

I find that, because I have scalp psoriasis, sulfate-free shampoos help me to avoid additional build-up. I’m not sure if you have looked into this but there are so many of us out there with psoriasis, it would really help if you could recommend a routine and products for this. PS love the videos. I have taken some of your tips and recommendations and find them to help quite a bit.
I cannot tolerate SLS at all. It’s even in toothpaste
My Mum's gone back on Neutogenas T-gel and I can't believe how massiveli improved her scalp psoriasis is! All the previously red raised areas are now flat and not red like regular skin, and there's the tiniest bit of flaking - probably reduced by 90%! I know everyone's different and might not get the same results but I just wanted to share in case someone hasn't tried it before.
Just ask for it in pharmacy , many of them. He said that organic is shit but I compare ingredients with normal shampoo and the “not organic” ones are full of preservatives and endocrine disrupters… which are very bad for our general health. Fertility, hormones even cancer … I stick with organic bio staff for more than a year and my hair grow like crazy.
I also use sulphate-free shampoos now and have psoriasis, but that's mostly because sulphate-free shampoos are generally formulated to be really gentle and so don't irritate my scalp more than necessary. I've been using the herbal essence aloe and mango one because... well, it's the cheapest one that worked for my hair.
When the psoriasis flairs up though, I got coal tar shampoo from the pharmacy. It smells absolutely horrible but it really settles things down fast. If it's really bad, there are also non-topical options, like biologics, but they are generally only used when the psoriasis is worse than the numerous side effects of the medication.
I would suggest looking into pine tar sol shampoos! They're definitely harsher on your hair (need a good conditioner) but, I did find it really effective used once or twice a week at removing build up when necessary. Don't have psoriasis but I do have eczema that flares where ever it wants and in general found products with it really good because it reduces inflammation as well.
I use aloe gel that I extract from the leaves. It works great for dry hair.
I make my own shampoo absolutely customized to my needs and everyone's always asking my hair rutine. I do this because I am very allergic to Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which most shampoos have (professional or not). I'll have to admit it is a great cleanser but my scalp and skin cries everytime. It is very cheap, easy to make and keeps my hair and most important my scalp healthy.
However, this guy is right! A lot of hair products in the market say "natural", "organic" and bla bla. But never true.
Dont you need to shampoo the product/oil build-up first before apply the redkin bond repair concentrate? How does the bond repair work if you have build up on your hair?
Fellow hairstylist here 🙋🏻♀️ I agree with most of this list but I do have to say that when it comes to clean shampoos, these were not only designed to “save the planet”. These shampoos can be helpful for women with PCOS or other hormonal issues in that their bodies are absorbing less harmful chemicals that affect the condition. 😊
That's so odd, I have PCOS and my hairdresser said the shampoos don't don't anything.
@@laurenskee2665 They aren’t there as medication. Clean shampoos are designed to help reduce the amount of chemicals that you absorb. Think of it this way, it’s one less product that you don’t have to worry about as much. There are some shampoos out there that are so so bad for you and toxic.
@@laurenskee2665 I too have PCOS :) 💙
Everything is chemicals ... some are naturally derived chemicals, others are synthetic, but *everything* is a chemical.
@@lizcademy4809 some chemicals aren’t toxic though. :)
You are so right about the greenwashing!
Ok you were on a role til you said redken . Redken doe not claim to grow your hair it is to help maintain your length and prevent breakage and seal the split ends. I started using it and the protein in it helped stop my hair from being so fragile after washing and strengthening the cuticle. I would not say use it every day for the rest of your life but hair goes through changes like our bodies and this product helped me balance using moisture products and protein products because I live in a humid state. My hair had not grown pass my mid back. this helped to strengthen my hair and assisted its growth,
Hello from another humid environment 👋! About how often do you use it and what is your hair type? I struggle because I’m growing out bleach damage. So I feel like I have a combo of things to balance. A side note, not sure if you have one, but Sally’s beauty supply has a product called Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor that I try to remember when I damage my hair. Which I forgot about until I just started reply to your comment ha! I’ve always loved how the Redken Length one smells. How does it do overall?
Your knowledge is amazing but I do really wish that you could also provide suggestions that are natural or product recommendations which are budget friendly. Because healthy hair and skin is something that everyone deserves.
Hi Chris, I had a hair disaster at the end of April. My stylist over processed my hair and its been breaking off all summer. I had to do a major haircut to get rid of as much damage as possible. Been using your recommended products but some seem applicable for very short hair. Could you do a video on short hair?
I agree with everything except the sulfate thing. Every time I use a shampoo with sulfates my hair falls out in CLUMPS and it’s incredibly itchy so sulfate free for me it is 🤷🏼♀️ I definitely plan on getting that redken repair product though
Also- my toothpaste doesn’t have sulfates. I avoid them like the plague. The “natural” shampoos he was showing were really crappy cheap ones like suave.
Same here, I barely lose hair in the shower anymore and my scalp feels 10x better which is huge because I have scalp eczema
Olaplex no 4&5 used to be on the recommended product list last December for medium/coarse hair…
Im following your advice and is the only thing that help my hair 🎉🎉 the redken intensive repair is the best product I’ve ever try and I tried so many!!!! Thank you!!!
I found that only using shampoo like once a month or if actually dirty, besides that just room temp water then conditioner...take vitamins for hair and nails if you don't get enough from your food....really diet is a better way to address these issues.
I was going to try a bunch of the recommended products and routines months ago, but it's way too freaking expensive. So all I changed was getting a Wet brush and I think it's helped. I tried washing twice and that was a nightmare, like everything was stripped from my scalp. I can go a few weeks between washes without my hair getting gross. My scalp didn't like the hard well water I moved to so I tried Apple Cider Vinegar rinses but it was a hassle, so I tried a few shampoo samples with ACV/detox labels including Ouai. They worked but Ouai is way expensive, so I tried Pura d'Or ACV Thin2Thick Shampoo and conditioner and they work well, no more hairline scalp flakes (didn't make my hair thicker), but a stylist told me I had a lot of breakage making it seem like I had thinner hair than I do. So I've been using Dove Hair Therapy Breakage Remedy conditioner (I know! The horror: cheap product promising fixes!) and I like the results of the two brands. It's been a few months of the brush and conditioner change and lately I've been thinking my hair feels a lot thicker where it was thin before, so I'm hoping there's been less breakage.
