1. Use professional shampoo 2. Shampoo twice 3. Clean your hair brush 4. Good clarifying shampoo 5. Clarifying shampoo on first wash 6. Soft hair massage 7. Unnecessary - scalp scrub 8. Avoid washing too often
I’ve already followed all of these instructions with absolutely no success. There are no tips here that I already have not tried myself. I’m already way ahead of everyone else, but unfortunately none of these tips have worked for me.
@@ariella4444 maybe your hormones could play a part too. I have wavy, curly hair, my scalp always gets oily after 3 - 4 days. But, the ends are almost always dry. Once I keep changing my pillow case, it kinda gets better. Less oily but nonetheless will become oily sooner or later. It doesn't get dirty, just those pesky oils. Biotin helps me in having less oily hair, some other supplements might help regulate your hormones too, I'm not a doctor but it's helping me! Maybe you should look at other factors too! Good luck on your hair journey!
I went from 1-2 days to 5 days without shampoo with your tips, I have fine hair and it was so damaged until I found your tips, now it’s healthier than ever thank you so much 🙏
I've actually not been able to do it (went from 24 hours to 36-48 though, that's impressive for me!) due to my hyperhidrosis having one of the most prominent places on my scalp and my hair clumping together after a day and me preferring a fluffier look to a slicker one because I need every last bit of volume due to having super fine and thin wavy hair. But still, the overall state of my hair has gotten so much better thanks to his tips, in just a couple weeks, and I couldn't actually buy the products he recommended (I'm not sure if they're available in my country now and payment/shipping is very difficult nowadays) but still was surprised... Dry shampoo is something I use very rarely, my scalp gets itchy from them and they feel uncomfortable. So, that's why I'd rather wash my hair a little more often. But I definitely have to thank him
@@imperia_morelliif you have hard water, i recommend on the first wash! if you are on regular water systems, then every other wash should be good if you wanna use it through and through! if you’re trying to switch it up, you can clarify first, then use another shampoo that has a different benefit (example: i have hard water and im blonde, so i use kenra’s clarifying shampoo as a first shampoo, and then i go in with redkin volume injection)
I have been using this hair growth serum of reactivate littleexttrra for a really long time now and feeling good with the results I have got with it... it's my third serum bottle now. This one has to be applied to the scalp so it performs like magic to a dry scalp. I apply it usually before going to bed and just massage it well into my hair....and wash it the next morning. I have seen hair growth and enhancement in my hair density.
Absolutely, Reactivate serum is effective; it genuinely does its job well and delivers the desired result. But, one must remember is that you have to wait and give time for the result. Achieving results takes time and takes approximate 3 to 4 months to get visible results. But honestly speaking, the results are truly effective.
Thanks! I’ve been using the regimen you recommended in addition to reaactivate hair serum for approximately two months now and my hair is noticeably dense.
Thank you for busting that ‘hair training’ myth. The only way I fixed my fine and thin oily hair was by following your tips. The amount of people who would argue online that you just need to ‘train’ your hair drives me nuts, especially since it comes from people with thick or curly hair.
I wish people with naturally thick hair could be filtered out of my feed on TH-cam! It’s so depressing. I have super thin and fine hair, I need advice from people with experience of hair like me (either an expert or their own) not people talking only about their own hair which is different from mine and pretending that they have the answers for everyone, a surprisingly common thing . Seriously, when I see someone even just handling their hair roughly and constantly fidgeting and preening, if I did that to mine I’d be bald. I have to be super gentle, my hair is pathetic. I don’t like it, but it’s what I have and I have to work with it.
I was able to train my hair in quarantine tho lol I’m sure it doesn’t work for most people but I have very fine, thin hair and losing it quickly from chronic illness and genetics. I went from washing everyday to my hair not getting oily for like 4-5 days just by not washing it since I wasn’t leaving the house. I don’t go around telling people to do it tho I was just pleasantly surprised lol
@@dees3179the worst is how they say “I wish I had your hair because I have frizz”. I’m like please stop. You don’t want to have to think about how you can see through your hair to your scalp as you pull it up. Every hair routine is exhausting just praying it is not a limp day. I disagree with his advice of using leave in conditioner and conditioner. I tried all that and it was so limp. He has great advice on cleaning shampooing though.
I bought his recommended products for my fine hair and let me just say on the record… HIS ADVICE IS THE TRUTH! My hair has never looked and felt better! I can go 5 days without washes compared to only 2 before!💕💕 Side note: Chris, I love your videos they’re so informative. But I liked the videos better without the background music! It’s very distracting! :)
Recommended products are not available in Europe, I’ve been searching for them over 6 months around Spain, Greece, Germany, Turkey, Netherlands and the only product I could find was Redken leave in conditioner in some hair salon in Netherlands (no tax free in hair salons 😢) which he actually recommends Pureology instead! Sephora, Attica, Douglas, even biggest beauty chains do not even know what Redken is!!!! And now big blowout and iron shape are sold out all over the world!!!!!! Hopefully he will update that list with some kind of Kerastase or L’Oréal Professional that can be found everywhere globally because my curls won’t hold even an hour and I’m seriously losing hope😅
I found Chris's channel about a month ago, and his advice has already transformed my hair! I have fine hair that is very oily at the roots and dry at the ends. I am 7 months postpartum and the oiliness was out of control. I was getting little pimples/bumps all over my scalp. My ends looked so lifeless, frizzy and dry. I kept cutting my hair shorter and shorter in hopes to get rid of the "damage". It only took one of his videos for me to realize he knows what he's talking about! I worked in a hair salon as an esthetician for 6 years and never heard hair advice put so simply and logically before. I started with professional shampoo/conditioner and leave-in conditioner. Immediately i could go up to 3 days without washing, something i couldnt even fathom before. I also cleaned my hairbrush, used a terrycloth shower cap, satin sleep bonnet and microfiber towel. I use a bonding treatment and hydrating mask 1x a week to help with damage, and just started using the heat protectants. It is crazy how good my hair feels, its not this nice when i leave the salon. Normally i would have to touch up my style with heat everyday to make it look presentable, but this morning i woke up to a fully intact style. My hair feels great and looks great. Thank you so much, you saved my hair!
@The Amerykanka I use Pulp Riot Shampoo and Conditioner, Redken clarifying shampoo every 1-2 weeks, Pureology leave-in conditioner, Redken Acidic Bonding Treatment, Moroccan Oil Hydrating Mask, Redken Big Blowout, Redken Thermal Spray 22, and Verb Ghost Oil. The sleep bonnet and shower cap I just ordered off of Amazon. So far things are going good, definitely an improvement!
My entire life I've been washing my hair incorrectly! I have a super oily scalp with thick, but fine hair & blonde. Chris, you have transformed my hair in just a few months. Using all your product recommendations except shampoo/conditioner. I had just bought the jumbos in Redken Extreme Lengths & they seem to be doing just great. The extreme lengths mask also. But I did buy a jumbo Redken clarifying shampoo per your rec & LOVE it! I'm able to go more then 3 days now. Growing up I "had" to wash daily. My hair would get to a length & just stop. Now it's longer then ever & still going. Healthier then ever & lol, heavier then ever. But I love it & am not complaining. I actually only need to blowdry & it looks beautiful. It's straight on it's own without a flatiron. I only curl every once in awhile. I have to get up at 5am for work, blech. The only thing I'm not liking is the Revlon brush blowdryer gets really hot so I have to be careful. Thinking about investing in the Amika one you liked in your test video?
Besides using professional shampoo and conditioner, wearing a microfiber lined shower cap has made a HUGE DIFFERENCE for me. I can't believe such a silly detail like the humidity in the shower can make your hair look so gross. It really had almost all the blame for my oily hair. Now i can easily wait three to four days, and I wash my hair only twice a week, whereas before i had to wash them every other day.
Could be. I'm no professional so take this with a grain of salt, but I've been told using cold water helps keep the hair strands "scales" closed while hot water causes them to open up. When they're open, the hair looks frizzy but when they're closed it looks shiny. Ive heard just doing a final rinse under cold water for a few minutes can help with this. Again, I am no professional and I hope I am not spreading myth by saying so.
Ya’ll, not trying to be gross but been using his techniques for several weeks and I swear I’ll wash my hair tonight but I am on day 11. And I tell you, it looks amazing! Of all the tips he gives, probably using a shower cap is my favorite.
Your comment gives me hope!!! Part of my issue is that I keep changing my shampoo and conditioner like an idiot but I'm hoping to at least get to a week without washing!
@@hellokittydoll2794 yeah so now a couple months later I find I wash it 2 x’s per month. And now it seems that oil production has regulated itself, that I don’t even need dry shampoo for a couple of days. It’s all pretty crazy! I only use hair dryer and drying brush the day I wash it, of course pre-treated with leave-in conditioner and blow dry cream. All other days no hot tools needed ever. Only gentle de-tangle wet brush and maybe a little hair oil. It’s total freedom. I do however have bottles of auto-ship Wen piling up. I’m considering a professional shampoo from a salon though. Like professor recommends. Even though I love the Wen.
@@nataliesteger2771 Omg that's so amazing! I'm using Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi Shampoo and The Conditioner Leave-In right now and so far so good but we'll see if it ends up making me greasy quickly or if it's a good match for me! Idk if my hairtype will be able to go as long as yours but that's the type of wash routine I want! Haha. Thank you for sharing your routine/results! 🥰
If you're referring to me, I have been using WEN hair care products for years. Now, this doesn't mean I'm against the salon grade, I just simply have been using Wen for years and I really love it. Granted, I now have an overstock since I only need it about 2-3 x's per month, but I digress. @@lottaa4822
Hi Chris, could you do a video on how we should manage our hair while we sleep, based on our hair types? Also the various lengths? My hair is fine, thin and shoulder length. I know people with long hair sleep in buns or braids. I usually just sleep with mine down, but sometimes feel that it might be mashing into my scalp while i sleep and spreading the oil faster or damaging my hair. Just looking for night time recommendations 🙂
He does recommend sleeping with a satin or silk night cap. You could also try a silk pillow case. I use a satin night cap, but I also use a cpap machine, which can interfere with my hair sometimes and make it hard to keep my style fresh. I have very fine, thin, very straight, very oily hair so my style doesn’t last past the first night, but my hair does look better as far as texture. The satin helps with the frizz. I used to sleep with my hair down at night but I would pull it up over the pillow so I wasn’t smashing it. That did help preserve my style (before I had to where a cpap mask) and would even give me a little volume. I wonder how it would’ve looked using a silk pillowcase. This method only works if you’re not a roller in your sleep, but I was able to sleep on my side or back with my hair up like that.
Put your hair in a sock. Put the sock on your hand and gather your hair at the nape with it, use your other hand to grab the ankle of the sock and pull it off your hand as you run it down the length of your hair. Like putting a pillow in a pillowcase. Secure gently with a soft scrunchie. I don't have enough hair to need a bonnet either, plus I hate hats
I use a satin scarf and warp my hair at night. I have curly hair, but wrapping it and keeping it safe helps keep it straight during the week. I can do this for hair at any length. I recommend keeping you hair wrapped so that it retains moisture and no friction/damage can occur.
Chris hand on heart, I am 52 years old and having followed your advice, have great hair and hair style for the first time in my life. I despair at the hundreds of pounds I spent on hair products over the years that did nothing, or perhaps ii was not using them correctly due to lack of advice and instruction. Smooth, frizz free hair, finally.
I started the trinity method in December. Immediately, i was in awe. I started using the right products but i think most importantly shampooing my hair correctly so it’s actually CLEAN. The two shampoos with a pro shampoo is life changing. I was able to go 4 days without a wash. I have fine blonde medium length hair and it’s been thinning a bit since being in my 30s. After a month or so, i noticed i needed to wash my hair more often but i wasn’t doing anything differently. My hair started to get oily at the scalp even though i was avoiding product there. My aha moment came in a recent video… my brushes are sooo dirty!!! They’re soaking right now. Tonight is hair washing night anyway and i can’t wait to see the difference.
I have tried these tips after having super oily hair and needing a wash after 1-2 days, now after about 3 weeks I’m washing 5-7 days! I couldn’t be happier, thank you! ❤
Okay, confession time. I use all the products you’ve talked about and am better off for it to be sure. However I wasn’t getting the amount of success you said I could expect. I did keep 2 of my own, Necessaire shampoo & conditioner and Quai shampoo & conditioner. They cost a lot and didn’t want to waste them. One day I finally ordered Redken shampoo. Ohhhh. What a change! I have waves and curls. It appears like like more volume. I did choose the Redken called Soft which is for dry hair. Magic. You REALLY know what your talking about and I am so grateful to you. I’m 75 with thin, fine, white, long hair and some scalp issues treated with medication. If you can solve problems for me you can help anyone! So grateful. Bless you!
i’ve been struggling with really oily hair, it would even get only within like 18 hrs of a wash, then i bought some of the recommended products and used the shampoo kung fu technique- my hair has never felt and looked better. honestly been binging these videos, this advice is gold
Thanks to your tips I've gone to 1x wash per week from washing every other day for 40 years. Hair growth never showed past 2 inches from shoulders. Thanks to your tips with hair oils, my hair looks so silky and healthy. It's been growing of course all these years but it was breaking so growth never translated. Now it's growing and translating to the healthy ends finally! Thank you. I've learned more from you than anyone else. 🙏
@@ivanap4202what helped me was taking vitamin d and iron daily. Really changes your hair and is cheap. I tried the nexus sulfate free shampoo and it made my hair worse. Vitamins have really helped. I’m currently using head and shoulders but just until I find a new shampoo to replace the nexus. What a waste of money!
This advice has been great and very helpful. I think for me the reason I can't go 3 days between washes is humidity outside and that I exercise most days:) No matter how clean the hair and good my blowout is initially, when being active I feel I still need to wash it more frequently. I still learned valuable tips from this channel, thank you for your work!
I went from 4-5 days to 7-8 days with your tips and tricks. I used to have so much hairfall and dry hair but now i got long luscious hair. So grateful for ur tips and tricks ♥️
A tip for cleaning brushes: I use hair dye brush and shampoo that I no longer use on my hair, I prefer clarifying shampoo. The brush perfectly reaches all the way to the base of the brush. It helped me clean my brushes so much.
You’re the only person I listen to now when it comes to my hair! It never made sense to me how I had a flaky scalp and oily hair at the same time. Now I wash the way you recommend and no more flakes! I also used to add heat to my hair daily and it seemed like within 2-3 weeks of a haircut I had split ends again. I purchased the redken blow dry and thermal products you recommend and my style lasts! No more heat damage 😁 you are a blessing to my hair.
I used to have very oily hair/scalp. Just as he said, I could only go every other day between washes and even then it felt gross! Since following his advice the past 2 months, I can now go 4 days! even 5 if I really pushed it. I have very fine, fly away hair. Using a terry cloth lined shower cap, silk bonnet for sleeping and learning how to wash and condition my hair properly has been TOTAL game changers. My only regret is not doing before and after pictures to prove his advice works! It may take a little while to get into this hair routine but do it! It totally works! Thank you Chris!❤❤
@@venus_envy absolutely 💯 % I did not believe in them at first. Thought it was just a gimmick! I have shorter hair(just above shoulders) so it is harder for me to put in a “high bun”. But I take the invisabobble hair (they don’t crease the hair)tie and just put it in a pony as high as possible. I don’t twist it though. I basically just put it around the hair to hold it while I put the bonnet on and it stays up all night. I’m a toss and turn sleeper too! I wake up and take the bonnet off and all I have to do is brush lightly with a wet brush and done!
How long did it take for your hair to change? I saw an immediate differece when i started leave in conditioner and hair oil. But have been using professional shampoo for 3 weeks now and it's still super oily
@@susanharmeijer862 I’ve always used a leave in conditioner but just recently switched from Kenra Daily Provision to the Purology Color Fanatic he recommends and I can tell a huge difference. As far as an overall change, it took about a month to “see” a difference as far as condition and shine. Once I started using the Olaplex 3 and 7 and Moroccanoil hair mask, I could IMMEDIATELY feel the difference. So soft and felt conditioned and the shine!!!!???? OH THE BEAUTIFUL SHINE 🤩
THANK YOU CHRIS. I've spent years and years struggling with my hair, overwhelmed by the plethora of gimmicks and conflicting info about what to do, and what not to do. I wasted so much money and time with products that didn't work. These days, I do an old-school blowout once every three days when I wash my hair (I'm an oil slick with fine hair). When I first started, admittedly I was terrified I'd mess it up and ruin my hair by using heat every three days. However, I followed your advice and I've got the hang of it now, and my hair actually has less split ends than when I was just air-drying and styling the front bits with a curling iron (with product marketed as heat protectant that was actually just leave in conditioner...) My hair is naturally dark blonde, but I have flipped between colouring it red and then bleaching it more times than I care to mention. Although I did do this in a salon - please NEVER do this at home people, I learned the hard way - my hair has taken a beating and by all accounts, should be a mess. But it's not! Because of you, Chris! My hair has actually never looked better and been more healthy. My partner, friends and even strangers notice and compliment me on it! I never thought that would happen. Thank you so much for demystifying the world of hair. I never thought I'd see the day when I was walking around with Pamela Anderson level locks, catching glimpses in windows and thinking damn, who is that?! Folks, if you're on the fence about revamping your hair routine to what Chris recommends, don't hesitate. It so simple, and it works. You won't regret it!
Using the professional shampoo I can maybe skip a day tops. I think my problem is more serious than just oily hair however, I have to say that the volume injection conditioner is absolutely LIFE CHANGING. My fine wavy hair has never been better looking. I just air dry it and it’s perfect!
L’Oréal is created by redkin so they typically are the same. Sometimes they scare us into thinking drug store products won’t work but they do some people need sulfates and stuff in they hair depending on texture .
I've always air dried my hair since blow-drying almost always makes it look gross a few hours later, no matter if it's done by a hair stylist or myself at home. Every time I get a haircut, I have to wash my hair on the same evening haha. My problem is oily (fine and wavy too) hair+sweaty scalp. I've definitely been able to consistently skip a day instead of washing every day since I started his routine (but with products I was able to buy, not the recommended ones) and it's definitely looking much better now!
I have super fine hair and the only product that's actually extended my time between shampoos is the "water killer" dry shampoo from EVO. It does leave my hair feeling kind of icky to the touch (maybe because I haven't figured out the right amount to use) but it looks great; I can even wear it down on day 3 or 4. I know this reads like a bot-generated ad but I swear I'm a real, oily human :P
I was using professional products before but switched to what he said. My hair is better in general but it’s only added like 12 hours to my passable clean time. I even bought the dry shampoo and it just feels gross. I’m not mad. It is better. The only issue I have is that washing two days in a row with the new products is terrible! So if I have something to do, I have to go 3 days with greasy hair leading up to that day. Fine hair life, right? I feel like I should add that my hair grows stupid fast and I can see the extra growth at the bottom instead of just the roots. My hair is suddenly aggressively long. Love that!
@@TheGooglyminotaur I wash with professional shampoo only 2-3 times a week, the rest with a milder one in between. I definitely love my fine wavy hair but it comes with it’s extra not so fun perks ☹️
For 4 years I tried the low poo method because my hair is a little wavy. I fell into what everyone was saying. My hair was so bad. I’ve learned that nothing changes my DNA. My oily cells will be oily and that’s it. And I’ve learned that a healthy scalp is a clean scalp. And that sulfate is essential for oily hairs. Now I’ve been washing everyday, and I’m a little skeptical about washing 2-3 days a week. But everyone here is saying that these tips works so I’m gonna give it a try
I have followed your instructions as much as I can in the past 3 months and my hair has less breakage and looks fuller as a result. But the humid and extreme heat of spring and summer is coming, and the weather will make me sweat so much that I don’t think I can go without washing everyday.
Chris, the quality and integrity of my hair has changed noticeably since I've been following your routines over the last few months! I just wish I had done it sooner 😅
I have started to follow your tips. I have noticed a big difference! One thing I didn't think would be making my hair oily faster were my dirty brushes. I now clean them.
The advice in this video is good. However, one needs to know about their hair. I have coily tight curls and wash my hair once a week ( every 7 days). I use three different quality/professional shampoos and conditioners. I rotate each week so my hair does not get use to any of products. And this works well for my hair. The other thing I use a hair scrub once a week and helps with my itchy scalp and I also use a scalp serum with peppermint oil. I use the products because I exercise 3 to 4 times a week and I sweat alot. In addition, I use apple cider vinegar with micellar rinse between washes to keep my hair refresh longer. Every product that I use I have seen significant hair growth! This is what works for me.
Working on these and I noticed that on the days I touch my hair with my hands (playing with my hair, moving my bangs out of my face) were the days I had oilier hair by the end of the day. On days i had my hair in braids or updo, my hair looked much cleaner. Think of all the things you touch regularly and then you play with your hair! Thanks for the tips Blowout Professor, I'll definitely be doing these! I definitely bought into the boar hair brush thing a couple years ago and it was so difficult to clean and almost never did it. No wonder I had itchy scalp and flakiness. tossed that brush and started new with a wet brush and a round brush!
Take this man's advice. It's solid. I came across this vid and a few related to it shortly after it was posted. My scalp has always produced too much oil. For most of my adult life, my hair was very long and very thick and the oiliness was something I dealt with by washing every day and not thinking much about it. It wasn't a "problem." Then, about two years ago, my hair started falling out at an alarming rate. I don't know why this happened, but as I lost more and more hair. Among the issues this caused, the oiliness became very noticeable. Following this advice with the recommended products helped a lot. My hair is incredibly soft, shiny, and smooth. While it may just be a coincidence, my hair stopped falling out shortly after I started using the recommended products and then started to grow back. It's all coming back, as far as I can tell. With most of my hair consisting of 3-5 inches of regrowth, my styling options are limited to carefully immobilized up-dos, but my hair so healthy looking that I have had coworkers ask me for haircare advice. I am in my early 40s and that is a first. I had a lot of hair before, but not good hair. The only downside is, I still wash it every other day on average. I can push to three with dry shampoo, but I can feel the heaviness of it, and it looks so dull. I find myself worrying about clogged follicles and hair loss again, and wondering if it's really worth the risk when every other day is an improvement and working for me. The biggest issue for me is that it really does seem to me like this "only wash your hair every X days" advice isn't given with physically active people in mind. I'm active and a I sweat. Not washing my hair after working up a sweat is about as appealing as not changing out of sweaty clothes, and I have yet to find sound advice that takes this into account. I've tried water only and conditioner only, but that's a problem I'm still trying to solve.
I wish that people wouldn't come here to dismiss Chris' advice. Create your own channel to promote drugstore's products. 🤐 I stand by Chris advice and recommendations because after many years of bs he reminds me of my father, that was an Italian hairdresser in the 60's and 70's. " Clean your head not your hair" was his motto. He taught me how to wash and clean my head (scalp) and of his clients too, if I ever missed one or more spots he would notice immediately and send the client back to the washing (scolding me in the meantime 😅). Most of his clients could go with 2 washes a week, and mind you...back then they used rollers and high heat hair helmets, combing and hairspray. Thanks Chris for spreading the Truth 😊🙏🏻💙
For the first time in 15 years my hair starts growing again. Washed it every day and now every other day and sometimes 2 days. So much improvement! Thank you.
Thank you so much! I've always had grossly oily hair and so does my 16 year old daughter. I watched this a month ago and we started to shampoo properly. I have been rewatching and now I'm shampooing much less! Omg the first week was such a struggle because my haircut was so oily. But my scalp has finally stopped itching (well down 75% anyways) and I'm already having less oily hair. Thanks so much ❤❤❤
I go at least 4days without washing my hair! I also did the olaplex and mask conditioner like he advice and what a difference! Love it! Next thing I am going to try to use the hair blow dryer 😊with the products he recommended 😊
I was able to go to work with day 3 hair for the very first time today, which feels kind of like a miracle. I thought that extending my washes from every day to every other day was my hair's absolute limit before I inadvertently recreate the wet-look hairstyle trend. Super happy about this success, since the one issue that I wish I could fix about my hair are the dry, somewhat fragile ends from washing too much.
Hi Chris! I first want to say that i watched all your videos and i have taken your advice. I have fine hair, it gets greasy after 1 day. I started doing the hair routine approx. 2 months ago and it goes like this: i start by using the Redken hair cleansing cream shampoo, i use just a tiny bit on my scalp by separating my hair into sections. Even so, it still produces a looot of bubbles from the start. Then for the 2nd step i use Redken volume injection shampoo, same technique as 1st step. Again, looots of bubbles even though i use a tiny bit. Then i apply the volume injection conditioner on my ends. The next step, i apply the Redken leave in conditioner before i dry my hair and last step is the Oleplex no.7 bonding oil just a tiny bit on my ends. Now, as much as i love how my hair feels right after, soo so clean and fresh… i still struggle with oiliness only after 1 day 😕 i am literally doing all the steps that you are talking about.. but i still have to use dry shampoo from day 2. I dont wash my hair for 3-4 days and it looks decent because i use dry shampoo, but i just dont manage to get past 1 day without it. I dont understand what is it that i am doing wrong or why it’s not working for me. 😢😢😢 anyone in this situation?
Same for me and by day 2 my head feels itchy and I really wanna wash it. I hate dry shampoo so would prefer not to use it but need to after 1 day. I've tried not using any dry shampoo so that's not the cause of the itchy feeling.
Hi, I had the same struggle initially. My problem was that I used too much of the leave in conditioner. I now only use 3-4 pumps MAXIMUM and I apply the Olaplex oil only sparingly to the very ends. Maybe that helps?
Do you blow dry your hair with a round brush? It may not be applicable to you, but I have noticed that my hair feels oily and flat on day two when I dry my hair in rollers with a hair dryer or air dry. I remember Chris mentioning this in another video. Hope you get to the bottom of it for your situation
For me personally, I cannot use a clarifying shampoo everytime I wash my hair. It's just too much for my scalp. It can eventually make my scalp feel a little tight and itchy. I struggle to find the goldilocks of shampoos basically because I cannot use volumizing shampoos either. 😂 I just double wash with my regular shampoo. If I use a clarifying shampoo every wash it will have the opposite affect on me and make my hair greasy faster. For me personally, the only way I've been able to stretch out my washes is by double washing with a regular shampoo and just letting my hair get greasy and waiting a set amount of days to wash again. Eventually my hair adjusted. It's not ideal for everyone and doesn't always work for everyone though. If you think you need to wash every day then only wash once and do it everyday. When coming up with your personal hair routine you need to consider your lifestyle, hair/scalp type, etc.
So ever since I bought a scalp brush about 2 or 3 weeks ago, (one identical to the black silicone one from Amazon that Chris put in this video), to apply my scalp oil I've been trying with Chris's healthy hair routine, I've had a tender, extra dry, and spotty scalp that I've never experienced before; I saw in a TH-cam video that stress can cause scalp acne, so I thought work being stressful at the moment was the cause! Thanks for explaining it was my scalp brush, and of course for your wise healthy hair routine! Despite how much bleach I use, to get my bright ginger, daphne from scooby doo hair colour, my hair has never been as silky soft and healthy as it is now, despite my scalp not being happy!
I thought hair was really clean when it was squeaky. I always liked Prell as it was the only shampoo that would get my hair really squeaky clean. I have a niece who washed her hair every morning, don't know if she still does. She said if she didn't her head would be itchy.
This channel saved my hair! I knew a few of the basics- but I would say refusing constant trims was my biggest break through!! And leave in conditioner
I’ve tried a lot of stuff but eventually water residues due to water quality is often the main issue. So vinegar naturally dissolves the residues, that’s why an apple cider vinegar Rinse solved it for me. (Make sure to dissolve it with a lot of water, and the stink goes away as it dries ). Investing in a water filtering shower head doesn’t hurt either.
Hey Chris can you do a video discussing about people who lives in tropical countries. 365 days of Sunny humid weather. Easily sweat daily, have to definitely wash hair daily, the pros and cons. Things to note? Am in Singapore. Love watching your channel.
It is not true that every person can go three days with fresh looking hair. I believe you that a lot of people can by using the right products and that many people don’t shampoo thoroughly but I have PCOS and my hair is looking oily after 12 hours. I tried almost everything. The only thing that made it look less oily was a scalp bleach because my hair soaked up the oil more after being that damaged and porous. Dry shampoo helps a little but that’s just another way to soak up all the oil. I use a BHA treatment the night before washing. I wash with a clarifying shampoo AT LEAST two times, I could never get away with just once. Sometimes I do it more often if necessary. I tried letting the shampoo soak in, scalp massage before and during shampooing. I used your technique and I really get in there, in between the layers and my neck. And still, I am oily in the evening. Please accept that there are conditions that cause an extremely oily scalp and don’t gaslight people into thinking they are doing something wrong. It’s hard enough to deal with all the other symptoms of hormonal imbalances and then being blamed for your oily hair on top of that. I am being shamed and made feeling dirty all my life even though I wash my hair more often than healthy people and I have hair loos on top due to my condition, which makes the oiliness appear even more severe.
I noticed that when I used the sulfate free shampoos my hair was really oily and gross the next day, I continued to use them because everyone was saying that sulfate was bad for hair I started to itch and I noticed my scalp not smelling fresh right after I washed it, I tried many different sulfate free shampoos and it continued one day on a whim I purchased vo5 for a dollar as washed my hair it felt as if my scalp was breathing I'm sorry but I just can't use the sulfate free shampoos any more also has developed pimples on my scalp NEVER again do I want to experience that.😩
I would love to see you do a video on caring for & maintaining extensions. I just got hand-tied NBR method extensions & want to prolong the life of them as long as possible while also caring for and improving the health of my natural hair & keeping my new growth. I’ve recently started following a lot of your recommendations (leave in conditioner, professional shampoo/conditioner, wet brush, Olaplex oil, blowout cream, heat protectant, sleeping with hair up to maintain style & use less heat) and it’s definitly making a difference. Love your content, thank you for making these super helpful videos!!
Thanks so much! You’ve made my hair better than it’s been since childhood! I appreciate the honesty and good advice! You have no idea how much I appreciate you. 💖 I’ve gone years thinking I was stuck here.
Same! I got the nexus clarifying and i stayed so greasy! The only thing that’s helped is cleaning my brush with soap and water once a week, and taking vitamin d and iron.
Wait. There are people out there that only wash their hair once?? 🤯 Does nobody read the shampoo bottles that say “lather, rinse, repeat”? I’ve done that my entire life!
Thats because the real cause of oily hair is not being addressed. Oily hair is cause by overactive sebaceous glands. Usualy dairy is the culprit. Research dairy , androgen excess from dairy, and how it effects us oily sufferers. Consider giving up dairy. Wait 2 weeks. Life changing. This guy never talks about nutrition, because he sells products, not food. I know people who use white rain and have gorgeous hair. Fruits, veggies, drink water. Life changing. Gotta address the real cause of oily hair.
@@donnahollywood8007 he's not a nutritionist. Oily hair could be caused by beauty routine or hormonal imbalance. Some of these factors include: Using Too Many Products The frequent use of serum, hair gels, oils, conditioner, and the like can harm your hair strands. The accumulation of different hair products in your hair can weigh it down. In addition, the use of alcohol-based products can also disturb the sebaceous glands, producing more oil than usual. Shampooing Too Often Most people develop the habit of shampooing too often as they believe it gets rid of excess oils. Although this is true in some cases, shampooing too often can promote excess sebum production to replace the lost oils in your hair. Natural Oily Hair Some hair types are naturally oily, making it almost impossible to avoid oily hair. This condition is common in people with straight strands as sebum can travel freely from roots to the tips. Curly hair can also be oilier on the roots because sebum fails to reach other parts of the hair strand. One of the best temporary solutions to oily hair is proper shampooing, but what happens if your hair remains oily even after shampooing? Poor hair care routine, environmental factors, overproduction of sebum, and other underlying health conditions can cause your hair to remain oily even after you shampoo. Yet, the major culprit of oily hair is poor shampooing routines like: Over-conditioning your hair Not rinsing the products out of your hair properly Using heavy conditioner on your hair Product buildup Rinsing your hair with super hot water Applying too many products after washing Washing your hair too often Using a gentle, clarifying shampoo and lightweight, non-greasy hair care products may be able to reduce sebum production in your hair. Your skin is covered in tiny pores, also called hair follicles. Your hair follicles surround the root and strand of the hair within. Most of these hair follicles also contain the sebaceous glands, the glands that produce oil. These oil glands keep the skin and hair healthy and moisturized. They also help prevent skin infections. Sometimes, these glands can produce too much oil, causing oily skin and hair. There are a few different things that can cause excess oil production, including: Changing hormones. Your sebaceous glands are controlled by hormones, and when those hormones change, your glands may produce more oil. This is especially common for people going through puberty or for people taking hormone medications, such as birth control. Genetics. Some people are just born with glands that produce more oil, just like some people are born with glands that produce less and lead to dry skin and hair. Humidity. Weather can affect the way your hair looks and feels. In humid environments, less moisture evaporates from your skin, which can lead to your hair feeling weighed down. Stress. Like puberty, stress can affect your hormone levels and cause your pores to make more oil. Oily hair symptoms usually involve the look and feel of your hair. Your hair may look greasy or shiny. It can feel heavy or weighed down and greasy to the touch. Overproductive oil glands on the scalp can also cause the scalp to become itchy and irritated. Oily skin may also contribute to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition in which your skin becomes inflamed and itchy and causes the skin to flake. Dandruff is a type of seborrheic dermatitis. An oily scalp can lead to dandruff caused by the yeast-like fungus Malassezia. This fungus feeds on the oil on your scalp. Regular dandruff can also happen when the scalp is oily and the excess oil begins to irritate the skin, leading to an itchy scalp, inflammation, and skin flakes.
@@DebbieTDP true, hes not a nutritionest, but one would have to be lacking in intelligence not to know that healthier food will result in better hair. The above conditions you prescribed can cause oily hair, but Im talking about chronic oily hair. Chronic oily hair , even after changing the aboved described conditions, still remains persistent, and confusing and frustrating to the person. Ive suffered chronic oily skin from age 14 to 36. Obviously in that time i tried every shamppo and conditioner combo you can think of. No poo, only washing once or twice a week, none of that "helped" . Glad you brought up hormones though, because that is exactly how dairy messes with hormones. Milk is meant for baby cows, not us. The hormones and proteins are designed to make a small mammal grow to a large mammal in a short amount of time. You can only guess whats its messing g up inside our bodies . In women, androgen levels goes up, as does testosterone. Results, hirsitism, thyroid problems, pcos, and yes , chronic acne. Chronic acne is accompanied buy oily skin. In simple terms, the cow hormones that are not meant for you are screwing up our hormones. Add the weird synthetic hormones to the cocktail, and we have all kinds of weird things happening, including early puberty. Weird. But people will fight tooth and nail for their cheese. They wont even look at research. Its common sense, really. If you eliminate the causes (dairy) then youll enmoy washing your hair less, no dry ends from overwashing, combat heavy conditioners, pay people money for very expensive shampoos thats just a hype, less powdering, better smell. Eliminating cheese is hard, but you finally get to feel like a girl not a grease slick. The rest can suffer.
Where does dandruff come in? My husband has bad dandruff and can't get rid of it. Could he be using the wrong shampoo? My hair is get using your tips and I tell everyone about this you-tube channel.
3 days is my max. I shampoo twice and use a gentle, professional shampoo that is a gel consistency, so it effectively cleanses and doesn't weigh my hair down. Does wonders!
I’ve been trying the routine recommended by the videos for a few months now. I have short hair and oily scalp. I double cleanse and don’t condition the roots. I can barely make it to day 3 without feeling gross even with dry shampoo. I unfortunately found that by shampooing every 3 days I developed much more itchy scalp and dandruff.
I was using L'Oreal sulfate free and my hair was great. I would shampoo every 3-5 days without problems. I ran out and used a cheap shampoo trying to stick to the same routine and I developed adult cradle crap 😭. Used Pantene and improved somewhat. Then I bought Chris's Trinity Products 1st routine, my hair was dryer than I've ever seen it before. Waited three days 2nd round to wash and my hair was okay the first day but now on third day it is oily and itchy like I've never felt before. I am buying Nizorole Incase it's a yeast from the cheap shampoo. Wish me luck 😮
Love your videos! Could you do a video on how to refresh/restyle your hair after hitting the gym. I don’t want to wash my hair every day and every video I look at on this topic says to blow dry your hair after every session. Ty!
I always washed my hair like this, using high end professional products for my hairtype and still my hair is greasy on 2nd day. Thats just my scalp and it always was like that, so if thats the case with you, nothing will keep your hair clean for 3 or more days
Thank you for your advice. I am trying these tips from you on my own hair, which is fine and oily. Does this advice apply to mature hair also as I'm 67?
I'm a teenager so my scalp is basically oilier than ever and I accepted that. I use a pure balancing shampoo from a professional brand and I'm gonna try these tips. I currently wash every day
I love your videos I’ve binge watched them all and am implementing your advice with a few adjustments due to hair loss. I’m hoping to revive my hair. Thanks for all the advice. Side note, you remind me of Gerard Butler for some reason.
Thank u so much for telling the truth finally !! All my life been looking for good shampoos and good hair products never found any that suits my hair type but now I can proudly say that I found the golden products because of u ❤️
Regarding the clarifying shampoo...ok. What exactly does 'drying out your hair' mean then, in that context. The last five minutes were all about how important it is, to use a quality shampoo to actually really, thoroughly clean the oils from your scalp and hair. And how drugstore shampoos won't do that. So what exactly does clarifying shampoo do then, above and beyond 'thoroughly cleaning the oil from your scalp and hair'? Clean is clean. Either there is still oil left or everything is stripped off and gone. Can't have it both ways. It was always my understanding, that the point of clarifying shampoo was, to remove product built up, not natural oils. Stuff, that needed stronger or just very specific detergents to dissolve. So does 'drying out' then mean, the hair is stripped of any and all silicones and such and might therefor seem 'dry' or 'damaged'?
Goodness this info has just come in so handy! Daughter had haircut today, hairdresser says her hair is dry… but we know she actually has oily hair type. Mine is actually such a dry hair that I go a week without washing as I have textured hair. 😅 so I was so confused earlier when we were told hair was dry. ( think problem here is actually her hair routine). After watching this video info 🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!….. we are going to try it and hope that things get better very soon. 🎉🎉
I wash my hair every two days when I'm working. I sweat like crazy and by the end of the second day my hair is a mess. all the sweat and oil is just two much. when I'm not working, I can easily stretch my hair wash to 3 and even 4 days. I'm still trying to find a dry shampoo that will actually make my hair look refresh.
Hi! I just discovered your videos and loving everything I'm learning so far! Would you do a video explaining the difference between Kenra thermal styling spray, and the Kenra hot spray 20? I'm also in Florida and I'm following all of your longevity tips lol there are so many inflyencers that I find, but when I find out they live in LA I'm like, nope next! Because they do not have the same frizz struggles 😅
This checks out... I started washing my comb every time cos i noticed if i don't, it makes my hair oily very often. And i noticed that when i washed my hair twice, i got better results, but i stopped doing that unless really oily, because i was scared it was drying my scalp too much...
Hello Chris! I have always had very frizzy and fine hair that never grew beyond a certain length. Now, following your advices I have noticed some improvement! They are healthier and grow longer. Can you please make a video with some tips for summer? For example what products to use for sea/hot/sun and how to get a nice result with air drying hair?
I know you said there's no close second to the leave-in conditioner from pureology.... But I live in Brazil and pureology is not available =( Wich one would you say is the not so close second and third?😅 kkkkkkk *We have kerastase, redken, l'oreal ( just saying this brands because I saw you've mentioned them in other videos and products recommendations )
I bought actually a hair scrub with tea tree oil, and it really made a diffraction for me. I have also shampoo with it and the combination changed everything, plus a good hair mask and a leave in condition. I also stopped using hair oil. Main Hairtype: Brown, thin hair. Oily hair on the sculp and a bit dry.
The ordinary hair serum saved my scalp psoriasis . It’s water based so doesn’t cause oiliness . Ik he says hair serums don’t work but lord I don’t have flare ups anymore and itchiness. I also switched to L’Oréal ever pure bond repair line which is identical to redkins bond repair line because they are created by the same company
I'm excited! I've got an oily scalp but let's see whether that is "fake news" because of my routine 😅 it could be. I love how relevant your videos are!
Hello Chris! Your videos are so helpful! I've been years struggling with oily hair... will you be adding more products to your list, especially for Fine hair?? Thank you very much.
Can we get a haircare routine for people who have to be on medicated shampoos? Like those of us with seb derm, eczema, or psoriasis? The medicated shampoo is absolutely necessary when in the middle of a flare up but the shampoos wreck absolute havoc on the lengths of my hair.
I’m not a pro or anything but I have seborrheic dermatitis so I know what you’re talking about! I “pre-poo” with oil, but you can also use a hair mask. Then I’d use my regular conditioner after I washed my hair. I found it helped my ends from getting rough and dry.
Is it still possible to go longer between washes without dry shampoo? If I leave dry shampoo in for more than a day my scalp gets itchy, so I always have to wash it out in the end of the day.
Try using ordinary scalp serum literally saved me from my scalp psoriasis. Ik he says those things don’t work but lord it helped me and I haven’t had a flare up on a month . It’s water based so no oiliness
@@jociir2650 The moisturizing one? Because I tried the peptide serum and it did nothing for me. Haven't tried to use it right before dry shampoo to see if there is any difference in itchiness though.
I have itchy scalp too, which does get worse the longer I go without washing my hair and the more dry shampoo I use. I started using The Mane Choice Scalp Renewal serum and IGK’s charcoal dry shampoo and I haven’t had itchy scalp since! I’m having trouble finding the scalp renewal but Mane does have a Manetabolism serum which looks like it does the same thing. The IGK dry shampoo has white tea powder in it that is supposed to smooth the scalp too. It’s expensive, but completely worth it. It’s the best dry shampoo I’ve tried.
I put my brushes on the floor in the shower , and then, when I wash my hair, I let the shampoo drop down onto the brushes. I do it every month. Seems to work great.
Thank you so much. I get oily hair very quickly and I will try your tips. I do have a question what professional hair shampoos and conditioners is the best to keep oily hair cleaner and longer lasting?
Hi i'd really appreciate more shampoo options! Redken in the UK vs US has VERY different ingredients and I think that's why I'm still struggling with my oily hair (still much better than other shampoos) but I'd love to get to 3-4 days without washing
Yeah I got Redken as well and I'm still having a bit of trouble, but seeing improvements. I'm in Canada. I was interested in their clarifying shampoo but I got the volume injection one because the clarifying one has a warning about sun exposure since it contains salicylic acid. I wish he would recommend more clarifying shampoos.
Salicylic acid in shampoo? Interesting idea. Although for my oily face, it was Retinol, that finally did the trick. Is there a scalp product with that 😅
His pulp riot shampoo is great for fine hair. But I also really like the pureology shampoo that’s in the blue bottle. I’ve got fine hair. As far as a clarifying shampoo, nothing beats the k18 detox shampoo which has salicylic acid in it.
I have had oily hair since about 11, I'm 62 now and it's still oily I have tried everything nothing works, even Dry Shampoo doesn't I need to wash mine every 2 to 3 days.
That COMMENT Its so true and people really dont GET it that some people have oily hair bc they have it! There is NO cure for oily hair. It is genetic in most cases
Have you tried IGK’s charcoal dry shampoo? It’s intense! It’s by far the best dry shampoo I’ve used (WAY better than the Berlin dry shampoo Chris recommends). I have very fine, very oily, very straight hair and I can go three days without washing my hair if I use a little bit of it every day after washing day. It does still feel nasty by day three, but it doesn’t look too bad. I have noticed that if I spray it on near my scalp and don’t touch it for about five minutes, then use my brush (not your hands, that just spreads the oil) to massage it around the rest of my scalp (don’t brush your hair, you want to keep as much of the dry shampoo on your scalp and roots as possible. Use small circular movements so your hair doesn’t tangle up too much, but still spreads the dry shampoo), then wait about five more minutes (I usually spend that time rehydrating my hair because I get really bad staticy hair), and then brush out my hair, that it looks clean. I haven’t quite figured out how to preserve my style though, so it never looks as good as it did on the first day, but it at least looks clean.
1. Use professional shampoo
2. Shampoo twice
3. Clean your hair brush
4. Good clarifying shampoo
5. Clarifying shampoo on first wash
6. Soft hair massage
7. Unnecessary - scalp scrub
8. Avoid washing too often
Thank you !
Thank you, its difficult to listen to him stall
@@drasiella I feel the same! I speed it up to make it easier to listen to
I’ve already followed all of these instructions with absolutely no success. There are no tips here that I already have not tried myself. I’m already way ahead of everyone else, but unfortunately none of these tips have worked for me.
@@ariella4444 maybe your hormones could play a part too. I have wavy, curly hair, my scalp always gets oily after 3 - 4 days. But, the ends are almost always dry. Once I keep changing my pillow case, it kinda gets better. Less oily but nonetheless will become oily sooner or later. It doesn't get dirty, just those pesky oils. Biotin helps me in having less oily hair, some other supplements might help regulate your hormones too, I'm not a doctor but it's helping me! Maybe you should look at other factors too! Good luck on your hair journey!
I went from 1-2 days to 5 days without shampoo with your tips, I have fine hair and it was so damaged until I found your tips, now it’s healthier than ever thank you so much 🙏
I've actually not been able to do it (went from 24 hours to 36-48 though, that's impressive for me!) due to my hyperhidrosis having one of the most prominent places on my scalp and my hair clumping together after a day and me preferring a fluffier look to a slicker one because I need every last bit of volume due to having super fine and thin wavy hair. But still, the overall state of my hair has gotten so much better thanks to his tips, in just a couple weeks, and I couldn't actually buy the products he recommended (I'm not sure if they're available in my country now and payment/shipping is very difficult nowadays) but still was surprised...
Dry shampoo is something I use very rarely, my scalp gets itchy from them and they feel uncomfortable. So, that's why I'd rather wash my hair a little more often.
But I definitely have to thank him
Chris is an angel ❤ I feel he’s the only genuine soul we can trust and doesn’t try to profit off of us
Hi, I am not sure if I've understood it well, are we supposed to use a clarifying shampoo every wash on the first wash? 😅
@@imperia_morelliif you have hard water, i recommend on the first wash! if you are on regular water systems, then every other wash should be good if you wanna use it through and through! if you’re trying to switch it up, you can clarify first, then use another shampoo that has a different benefit (example: i have hard water and im blonde, so i use kenra’s clarifying shampoo as a first shampoo, and then i go in with redkin volume injection)
@@imperia_morelli nope. Once in a month and On first watch only.
I have been using this hair growth serum of reactivate littleexttrra for a really long time now and feeling good with the results I have got with it... it's my third serum bottle now.
This one has to be applied to the scalp so it performs like magic to a dry scalp.
I apply it usually before going to bed and just massage it well into my hair....and wash it the next morning. I have seen hair growth and enhancement in my hair density.
Absolutely, Reactivate serum is effective; it genuinely does its job well and delivers the desired result. But, one must remember is that you have to wait and give time for the result. Achieving results takes time and takes approximate 3 to 4 months to get visible results. But honestly speaking, the results are truly effective.
Thanks! I’ve been using the regimen you recommended in addition to reaactivate hair serum for approximately two months now and my hair is noticeably dense.
Thank you for busting that ‘hair training’ myth. The only way I fixed my fine and thin oily hair was by following your tips. The amount of people who would argue online that you just need to ‘train’ your hair drives me nuts, especially since it comes from people with thick or curly hair.
I hated it too, tried it, looked deep fried for months before realising it's a freaking lie.
I wish people with naturally thick hair could be filtered out of my feed on TH-cam! It’s so depressing. I have super thin and fine hair, I need advice from people with experience of hair like me (either an expert or their own) not people talking only about their own hair which is different from mine and pretending that they have the answers for everyone, a surprisingly common thing . Seriously, when I see someone even just handling their hair roughly and constantly fidgeting and preening, if I did that to mine I’d be bald. I have to be super gentle, my hair is pathetic. I don’t like it, but it’s what I have and I have to work with it.
Yeah the whole training your hair...I've been trying that for years and it didn't do anything at all.
I was able to train my hair in quarantine tho lol I’m sure it doesn’t work for most people but I have very fine, thin hair and losing it quickly from chronic illness and genetics. I went from washing everyday to my hair not getting oily for like 4-5 days just by not washing it since I wasn’t leaving the house. I don’t go around telling people to do it tho I was just pleasantly surprised lol
@@dees3179the worst is how they say “I wish I had your hair because I have frizz”. I’m like please stop. You don’t want to have to think about how you can see through your hair to your scalp as you pull it up. Every hair routine is exhausting just praying it is not a limp day. I disagree with his advice of using leave in conditioner and conditioner. I tried all that and it was so limp. He has great advice on cleaning shampooing though.
I bought his recommended products for my fine hair and let me just say on the record… HIS ADVICE IS THE TRUTH! My hair has never looked and felt better! I can go 5 days without washes compared to only 2 before!💕💕
Side note: Chris, I love your videos they’re so informative. But I liked the videos better without the background music! It’s very distracting! :)
im a dude growing my hair out and ya its the truth no doubt and everyone should use the pureology spray
@LaraOmar, same I’m totally addicted to the Pulp Riot shampoo, I also got the silk sleeping bonnet. I no longer wake up looking like Medusa 😂
Recommended products are not available in Europe, I’ve been searching for them over 6 months around Spain, Greece, Germany, Turkey, Netherlands and the only product I could find was Redken leave in conditioner in some hair salon in Netherlands (no tax free in hair salons 😢) which he actually recommends Pureology instead! Sephora, Attica, Douglas, even biggest beauty chains do not even know what Redken is!!!! And now big blowout and iron shape are sold out all over the world!!!!!! Hopefully he will update that list with some kind of Kerastase or L’Oréal Professional that can be found everywhere globally because my curls won’t hold even an hour and I’m seriously losing hope😅
I agree. I used to go only 2 days between washes, and now I can do 4 days.
@@nazos35 they definitely do sell Redken products at Douglas, cause that's where I bought my shampoo and conditioner :)
I found Chris's channel about a month ago, and his advice has already transformed my hair! I have fine hair that is very oily at the roots and dry at the ends. I am 7 months postpartum and the oiliness was out of control. I was getting little pimples/bumps all over my scalp. My ends looked so lifeless, frizzy and dry. I kept cutting my hair shorter and shorter in hopes to get rid of the "damage". It only took one of his videos for me to realize he knows what he's talking about! I worked in a hair salon as an esthetician for 6 years and never heard hair advice put so simply and logically before. I started with professional shampoo/conditioner and leave-in conditioner. Immediately i could go up to 3 days without washing, something i couldnt even fathom before. I also cleaned my hairbrush, used a terrycloth shower cap, satin sleep bonnet and microfiber towel. I use a bonding treatment and hydrating mask 1x a week to help with damage, and just started using the heat protectants. It is crazy how good my hair feels, its not this nice when i leave the salon. Normally i would have to touch up my style with heat everyday to make it look presentable, but this morning i woke up to a fully intact style. My hair feels great and looks great. Thank you so much, you saved my hair!
Me too 😊and I feel the difference already 😊

Can you share what products you use now?
@The Amerykanka I use Pulp Riot Shampoo and Conditioner, Redken clarifying shampoo every 1-2 weeks, Pureology leave-in conditioner, Redken Acidic Bonding Treatment, Moroccan Oil Hydrating Mask, Redken Big Blowout, Redken Thermal Spray 22, and Verb Ghost Oil. The sleep bonnet and shower cap I just ordered off of Amazon. So far things are going good, definitely an improvement!
@@abbyrodgers7753 wow awesome! Thank you so much!
My entire life I've been washing my hair incorrectly! I have a super oily scalp with thick, but fine hair & blonde. Chris, you have transformed my hair in just a few months. Using all your product recommendations except shampoo/conditioner. I had just bought the jumbos in Redken Extreme Lengths & they seem to be doing just great. The extreme lengths mask also. But I did buy a jumbo Redken clarifying shampoo per your rec & LOVE it! I'm able to go more then 3 days now. Growing up I "had" to wash daily. My hair would get to a length & just stop. Now it's longer then ever & still going. Healthier then ever & lol, heavier then ever. But I love it & am not complaining. I actually only need to blowdry & it looks beautiful. It's straight on it's own without a flatiron. I only curl every once in awhile. I have to get up at 5am for work, blech. The only thing I'm not liking is the Revlon brush blowdryer gets really hot so I have to be careful. Thinking about investing in the Amika one you liked in your test video?
Besides using professional shampoo and conditioner, wearing a microfiber lined shower cap has made a HUGE DIFFERENCE for me.
I can't believe such a silly detail like the humidity in the shower can make your hair look so gross. It really had almost all the blame for my oily hair.
Now i can easily wait three to four days, and I wash my hair only twice a week, whereas before i had to wash them every other day.
Interesting. Don’t think I have seen these on Amazon
to avoid humidity in the shower, do you use cooler water?
Could be. I'm no professional so take this with a grain of salt, but I've been told using cold water helps keep the hair strands "scales" closed while hot water causes them to open up. When they're open, the hair looks frizzy but when they're closed it looks shiny. Ive heard just doing a final rinse under cold water for a few minutes can help with this. Again, I am no professional and I hope I am not spreading myth by saying so.
@@esha7334 He made a video say he tested washing hair with different temperature water and it made no difference.
Ya’ll, not trying to be gross but been using his techniques for several weeks and I swear I’ll wash my hair tonight but I am on day 11. And I tell you, it looks amazing! Of all the tips he gives, probably using a shower cap is my favorite.
Your comment gives me hope!!! Part of my issue is that I keep changing my shampoo and conditioner like an idiot but I'm hoping to at least get to a week without washing!
@@hellokittydoll2794 yeah so now a couple months later I find I wash it 2 x’s per month. And now it seems that oil production has regulated itself, that I don’t even need dry shampoo for a couple of days. It’s all pretty crazy! I only use hair dryer and drying brush the day I wash it, of course pre-treated with leave-in conditioner and blow dry cream. All other days no hot tools needed ever. Only gentle de-tangle wet brush and maybe a little hair oil. It’s total freedom. I do however have bottles of auto-ship Wen piling up. I’m considering a professional shampoo from a salon though. Like professor recommends. Even though I love the Wen.
@@nataliesteger2771 Omg that's so amazing! I'm using Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi Shampoo and The Conditioner Leave-In right now and so far so good but we'll see if it ends up making me greasy quickly or if it's a good match for me! Idk if my hairtype will be able to go as long as yours but that's the type of wash routine I want! Haha. Thank you for sharing your routine/results! 🥰
May i ask What Products do you use ?
If you're referring to me, I have been using WEN hair care products for years. Now, this doesn't mean I'm against the salon grade, I just simply have been using Wen for years and I really love it. Granted, I now have an overstock since I only need it about 2-3 x's per month, but I digress. @@lottaa4822
Hi Chris, could you do a video on how we should manage our hair while we sleep, based on our hair types? Also the various lengths? My hair is fine, thin and shoulder length. I know people with long hair sleep in buns or braids. I usually just sleep with mine down, but sometimes feel that it might be mashing into my scalp while i sleep and spreading the oil faster or damaging my hair. Just looking for night time recommendations 🙂
He does recommend sleeping with a satin or silk night cap. You could also try a silk pillow case. I use a satin night cap, but I also use a cpap machine, which can interfere with my hair sometimes and make it hard to keep my style fresh. I have very fine, thin, very straight, very oily hair so my style doesn’t last past the first night, but my hair does look better as far as texture. The satin helps with the frizz. I used to sleep with my hair down at night but I would pull it up over the pillow so I wasn’t smashing it. That did help preserve my style (before I had to where a cpap mask) and would even give me a little volume. I wonder how it would’ve looked using a silk pillowcase. This method only works if you’re not a roller in your sleep, but I was able to sleep on my side or back with my hair up like that.
Put your hair in a sock. Put the sock on your hand and gather your hair at the nape with it, use your other hand to grab the ankle of the sock and pull it off your hand as you run it down the length of your hair. Like putting a pillow in a pillowcase. Secure gently with a soft scrunchie. I don't have enough hair to need a bonnet either, plus I hate hats
I use a satin scarf and warp my hair at night. I have curly hair, but wrapping it and keeping it safe helps keep it straight during the week. I can do this for hair at any length. I recommend keeping you hair wrapped so that it retains moisture and no friction/damage can occur.
Chris hand on heart, I am 52 years old and having followed your advice, have great hair and hair style for the first time in my life. I despair at the hundreds of pounds I spent on hair products over the years that did nothing, or perhaps ii was not using them correctly due to lack of advice and instruction. Smooth, frizz free hair, finally.
I started the trinity method in December. Immediately, i was in awe. I started using the right products but i think most importantly shampooing my hair correctly so it’s actually CLEAN. The two shampoos with a pro shampoo is life changing. I was able to go 4 days without a wash. I have fine blonde medium length hair and it’s been thinning a bit since being in my 30s.
After a month or so, i noticed i needed to wash my hair more often but i wasn’t doing anything differently. My hair started to get oily at the scalp even though i was avoiding product there. My aha moment came in a recent video… my brushes are sooo dirty!!! They’re soaking right now. Tonight is hair washing night anyway and i can’t wait to see the difference.
You rock Christine 👍
I have tried these tips after having super oily hair and needing a wash after 1-2 days, now after about 3 weeks I’m washing 5-7 days! I couldn’t be happier, thank you! ❤
Okay, confession time. I use all the products you’ve talked about and am better off for it to be sure. However I wasn’t getting the amount of success you said I could expect. I did keep 2 of my own, Necessaire shampoo & conditioner and Quai shampoo & conditioner. They cost a lot and didn’t want to waste them. One day I finally ordered Redken shampoo. Ohhhh. What a change! I have waves and curls. It appears like like more volume. I did choose the Redken called Soft which is for dry hair. Magic. You REALLY know what your talking about and I am so grateful to you. I’m 75 with thin, fine, white, long hair and some scalp issues treated with medication. If you can solve problems for me you can help anyone! So grateful. Bless you!
i’ve been struggling with really oily hair, it would even get only within like 18 hrs of a wash, then i bought some of the recommended products and used the shampoo kung fu technique- my hair has never felt and looked better. honestly been binging these videos, this advice is gold
Thanks to your tips I've gone to 1x wash per week from washing every other day for 40 years. Hair growth never showed past 2 inches from shoulders. Thanks to your tips with hair oils, my hair looks so silky and healthy. It's been growing of course all these years but it was breaking so growth never translated. Now it's growing and translating to the healthy ends finally! Thank you. I've learned more from you than anyone else. 🙏
Which shampoo do you use?
@@ivanap4202what helped me was taking vitamin d and iron daily. Really changes your hair and is cheap. I tried the nexus sulfate free shampoo and it made my hair worse. Vitamins have really helped. I’m currently using head and shoulders but just until I find a new shampoo to replace the nexus. What a waste of money!
This advice has been great and very helpful. I think for me the reason I can't go 3 days between washes is humidity outside and that I exercise most days:) No matter how clean the hair and good my blowout is initially, when being active I feel I still need to wash it more frequently. I still learned valuable tips from this channel, thank you for your work!
There is no shame in that
I went from 4-5 days to 7-8 days with your tips and tricks. I used to have so much hairfall and dry hair but now i got long luscious hair. So grateful for ur tips and tricks ♥️
A tip for cleaning brushes: I use hair dye brush and shampoo that I no longer use on my hair, I prefer clarifying shampoo. The brush perfectly reaches all the way to the base of the brush. It helped me clean my brushes so much.
You’re the only person I listen to now when it comes to my hair! It never made sense to me how I had a flaky scalp and oily hair at the same time. Now I wash the way you recommend and no more flakes! I also used to add heat to my hair daily and it seemed like within 2-3 weeks of a haircut I had split ends again. I purchased the redken blow dry and thermal products you recommend and my style lasts! No more heat damage 😁 you are a blessing to my hair.
This is me too!! I have a dry scalp but oily hair it drives me nuts!!! Your success story gives me hope 🎉
@yaritzadiaz8048 what shampoo and conditioner did you buy?
I used to have very oily hair/scalp. Just as he said, I could only go every other day between washes and even then it felt gross!
Since following his advice the past 2 months, I can now go 4 days! even 5 if I really pushed it. I have very fine, fly away hair. Using a terry cloth lined shower cap, silk bonnet for sleeping and learning how to wash and condition my hair properly has been TOTAL game changers. My only regret is not doing before and after pictures to prove his advice works! It may take a little while to get into this hair routine but do it! It totally works! Thank you Chris!❤❤
I want to get a silk bonnet for sleeping. do you find it makes a big difference?
@@venus_envy absolutely 💯 %
I did not believe in them at first. Thought it was just a gimmick! I have shorter hair(just above shoulders) so it is harder for me to put in a “high bun”. But I take the invisabobble hair (they don’t crease the hair)tie and just put it in a pony as high as possible. I don’t twist it though. I basically just put it around the hair to hold it while I put the bonnet on and it stays up all night. I’m a toss and turn sleeper too! I wake up and take the bonnet off and all I have to do is brush lightly with a wet brush and done!
How long did it take for your hair to change? I saw an immediate differece when i started leave in conditioner and hair oil. But have been using professional shampoo for 3 weeks now and it's still super oily
@@susanharmeijer862 I’ve always used a leave in conditioner but just recently switched from Kenra Daily Provision to the Purology Color Fanatic he recommends and I can tell a huge difference. As far as an overall change, it took about a month to “see” a difference as far as condition and shine. Once I started using the Olaplex 3 and 7 and Moroccanoil hair mask, I could IMMEDIATELY feel the difference. So soft and felt conditioned and the shine!!!!???? OH THE BEAUTIFUL SHINE 🤩
Can we see a video about curly/wavy hair routine and how to look after it?!
THANK YOU CHRIS.
I've spent years and years struggling with my hair, overwhelmed by the plethora of gimmicks and conflicting info about what to do, and what not to do. I wasted so much money and time with products that didn't work.
These days, I do an old-school blowout once every three days when I wash my hair (I'm an oil slick with fine hair). When I first started, admittedly I was terrified I'd mess it up and ruin my hair by using heat every three days. However, I followed your advice and I've got the hang of it now, and my hair actually has less split ends than when I was just air-drying and styling the front bits with a curling iron (with product marketed as heat protectant that was actually just leave in conditioner...)
My hair is naturally dark blonde, but I have flipped between colouring it red and then bleaching it more times than I care to mention. Although I did do this in a salon - please NEVER do this at home people, I learned the hard way - my hair has taken a beating and by all accounts, should be a mess. But it's not! Because of you, Chris! My hair has actually never looked better and been more healthy. My partner, friends and even strangers notice and compliment me on it! I never thought that would happen.
Thank you so much for demystifying the world of hair. I never thought I'd see the day when I was walking around with Pamela Anderson level locks, catching glimpses in windows and thinking damn, who is that?!
Folks, if you're on the fence about revamping your hair routine to what Chris recommends, don't hesitate. It so simple, and it works. You won't regret it!
Would love a video about "hair fall "😢 stress related
Using the professional shampoo I can maybe skip a day tops. I think my problem is more serious than just oily hair however, I have to say that the volume injection conditioner is absolutely LIFE CHANGING. My fine wavy hair has never been better looking. I just air dry it and it’s perfect!
L’Oréal is created by redkin so they typically are the same. Sometimes they scare us into thinking drug store products won’t work but they do some people need sulfates and stuff in they hair depending on texture .
I've always air dried my hair since blow-drying almost always makes it look gross a few hours later, no matter if it's done by a hair stylist or myself at home. Every time I get a haircut, I have to wash my hair on the same evening haha.
My problem is oily (fine and wavy too) hair+sweaty scalp. I've definitely been able to consistently skip a day instead of washing every day since I started his routine (but with products I was able to buy, not the recommended ones) and it's definitely looking much better now!
I have super fine hair and the only product that's actually extended my time between shampoos is the "water killer" dry shampoo from EVO. It does leave my hair feeling kind of icky to the touch (maybe because I haven't figured out the right amount to use) but it looks great; I can even wear it down on day 3 or 4. I know this reads like a bot-generated ad but I swear I'm a real, oily human :P
I was using professional products before but switched to what he said. My hair is better in general but it’s only added like 12 hours to my passable clean time. I even bought the dry shampoo and it just feels gross.
I’m not mad. It is better. The only issue I have is that washing two days in a row with the new products is terrible! So if I have something to do, I have to go 3 days with greasy hair leading up to that day. Fine hair life, right?
I feel like I should add that my hair grows stupid fast and I can see the extra growth at the bottom instead of just the roots. My hair is suddenly aggressively long. Love that!
@@TheGooglyminotaur I wash with professional shampoo only 2-3 times a week, the rest with a milder one in between. I definitely love my fine wavy hair but it comes with it’s extra not so fun perks ☹️
For 4 years I tried the low poo method because my hair is a little wavy. I fell into what everyone was saying. My hair was so bad. I’ve learned that nothing changes my DNA. My oily cells will be oily and that’s it. And I’ve learned that a healthy scalp is a clean scalp. And that sulfate is essential for oily hairs. Now I’ve been washing everyday, and I’m a little skeptical about washing 2-3 days a week. But everyone here is saying that these tips works so I’m gonna give it a try
I have followed your instructions as much as I can in the past 3 months and my hair has less breakage and looks fuller as a result. But the humid and extreme heat of spring and summer is coming, and the weather will make me sweat so much that I don’t think I can go without washing everyday.
Use dry shampoo 😊
Chris, the quality and integrity of my hair has changed noticeably since I've been following your routines over the last few months! I just wish I had done it sooner 😅
I have started to follow your tips. I have noticed a big difference! One thing I didn't think would be making my hair oily faster were my dirty brushes. I now clean them.
The advice in this video is good. However, one needs to know about their hair. I have coily tight curls and wash my hair once a week ( every 7 days). I use three different quality/professional shampoos and conditioners. I rotate each week so my hair does not get use to any of products. And this works well for my hair. The other thing I use a hair scrub once a week and helps with my itchy scalp and I also use a scalp serum with peppermint oil. I use the products because I exercise 3 to 4 times a week and I sweat alot. In addition, I use apple cider vinegar with micellar rinse between washes to keep my hair refresh longer. Every product that I use I have seen significant hair growth! This is what works for me.
Working on these and I noticed that on the days I touch my hair with my hands (playing with my hair, moving my bangs out of my face) were the days I had oilier hair by the end of the day. On days i had my hair in braids or updo, my hair looked much cleaner. Think of all the things you touch regularly and then you play with your hair! Thanks for the tips Blowout Professor, I'll definitely be doing these! I definitely bought into the boar hair brush thing a couple years ago and it was so difficult to clean and almost never did it. No wonder I had itchy scalp and flakiness. tossed that brush and started new with a wet brush and a round brush!
Take this man's advice. It's solid.
I came across this vid and a few related to it shortly after it was posted. My scalp has always produced too much oil. For most of my adult life, my hair was very long and very thick and the oiliness was something I dealt with by washing every day and not thinking much about it. It wasn't a "problem." Then, about two years ago, my hair started falling out at an alarming rate. I don't know why this happened, but as I lost more and more hair. Among the issues this caused, the oiliness became very noticeable.
Following this advice with the recommended products helped a lot. My hair is incredibly soft, shiny, and smooth. While it may just be a coincidence, my hair stopped falling out shortly after I started using the recommended products and then started to grow back. It's all coming back, as far as I can tell. With most of my hair consisting of 3-5 inches of regrowth, my styling options are limited to carefully immobilized up-dos, but my hair so healthy looking that I have had coworkers ask me for haircare advice. I am in my early 40s and that is a first. I had a lot of hair before, but not good hair.
The only downside is, I still wash it every other day on average. I can push to three with dry shampoo, but I can feel the heaviness of it, and it looks so dull. I find myself worrying about clogged follicles and hair loss again, and wondering if it's really worth the risk when every other day is an improvement and working for me. The biggest issue for me is that it really does seem to me like this "only wash your hair every X days" advice isn't given with physically active people in mind. I'm active and a I sweat. Not washing my hair after working up a sweat is about as appealing as not changing out of sweaty clothes, and I have yet to find sound advice that takes this into account. I've tried water only and conditioner only, but that's a problem I'm still trying to solve.
40s... talk to your obgyn. Perimenopause can cause excessive shedding plus changes in sebum production. I got on hormones and the shedding stopped.
I wish that people wouldn't come here to dismiss Chris' advice. Create your own channel to promote drugstore's products. 🤐
I stand by Chris advice and recommendations because after many years of bs he reminds me of my father, that was an Italian hairdresser in the 60's and 70's. " Clean your head not your hair" was his motto. He taught me how to wash and clean my head (scalp) and of his clients too, if I ever missed one or more spots he would notice immediately and send the client back to the washing (scolding me in the meantime 😅). Most of his clients could go with 2 washes a week, and mind you...back then they used rollers and high heat hair helmets, combing and hairspray.
Thanks Chris for spreading the Truth 😊🙏🏻💙
For the first time in 15 years my hair starts growing again. Washed it every day and now every other day and sometimes 2 days. So much improvement! Thank you.
I bought the Redken from your remand it is unbelievable! I can easily go 4 days.
Thank you so much! I've always had grossly oily hair and so does my 16 year old daughter. I watched this a month ago and we started to shampoo properly. I have been rewatching and now I'm shampooing much less! Omg the first week was such a struggle because my haircut was so oily. But my scalp has finally stopped itching (well down 75% anyways) and I'm already having less oily hair.
Thanks so much ❤❤❤
I go at least 4days without washing my hair! I also did the olaplex and mask conditioner like he advice and what a difference! Love it! Next thing I am going to try to use the hair blow dryer 😊with the products he recommended 😊
I was able to go to work with day 3 hair for the very first time today, which feels kind of like a miracle. I thought that extending my washes from every day to every other day was my hair's absolute limit before I inadvertently recreate the wet-look hairstyle trend. Super happy about this success, since the one issue that I wish I could fix about my hair are the dry, somewhat fragile ends from washing too much.
ahhh!! I just bought the whole bundle from your site! I’m so nervous and excited to start the whole routine 🥹❤️
Hi Chris! I first want to say that i watched all your videos and i have taken your advice. I have fine hair, it gets greasy after 1 day. I started doing the hair routine approx. 2 months ago and it goes like this: i start by using the Redken hair cleansing cream shampoo, i use just a tiny bit on my scalp by separating my hair into sections. Even so, it still produces a looot of bubbles from the start. Then for the 2nd step i use Redken volume injection shampoo, same technique as 1st step. Again, looots of bubbles even though i use a tiny bit. Then i apply the volume injection conditioner on my ends. The next step, i apply the Redken leave in conditioner before i dry my hair and last step is the Oleplex no.7 bonding oil just a tiny bit on my ends. Now, as much as i love how my hair feels right after, soo so clean and fresh… i still struggle with oiliness only after 1 day 😕 i am literally doing all the steps that you are talking about.. but i still have to use dry shampoo from day 2. I dont wash my hair for 3-4 days and it looks decent because i use dry shampoo, but i just dont manage to get past 1 day without it. I dont understand what is it that i am doing wrong or why it’s not working for me. 😢😢😢 anyone in this situation?
Same for me and by day 2 my head feels itchy and I really wanna wash it. I hate dry shampoo so would prefer not to use it but need to after 1 day. I've tried not using any dry shampoo so that's not the cause of the itchy feeling.
Hi, I had the same struggle initially. My problem was that I used too much of the leave in conditioner. I now only use 3-4 pumps MAXIMUM and I apply the Olaplex oil only sparingly to the very ends.
Maybe that helps?
Do you blow dry your hair with a round brush?
It may not be applicable to you, but I have noticed that my hair feels oily and flat on day two when I dry my hair in rollers with a hair dryer or air dry. I remember Chris mentioning this in another video.
Hope you get to the bottom of it for your situation
Also, I use one drop of the oil. If I need to use one drop again after 2 or 3 days, I do
For me personally, I cannot use a clarifying shampoo everytime I wash my hair. It's just too much for my scalp. It can eventually make my scalp feel a little tight and itchy. I struggle to find the goldilocks of shampoos basically because I cannot use volumizing shampoos either. 😂 I just double wash with my regular shampoo. If I use a clarifying shampoo every wash it will have the opposite affect on me and make my hair greasy faster. For me personally, the only way I've been able to stretch out my washes is by double washing with a regular shampoo and just letting my hair get greasy and waiting a set amount of days to wash again. Eventually my hair adjusted. It's not ideal for everyone and doesn't always work for everyone though. If you think you need to wash every day then only wash once and do it everyday. When coming up with your personal hair routine you need to consider your lifestyle, hair/scalp type, etc.
So ever since I bought a scalp brush about 2 or 3 weeks ago, (one identical to the black silicone one from Amazon that Chris put in this video), to apply my scalp oil I've been trying with Chris's healthy hair routine, I've had a tender, extra dry, and spotty scalp that I've never experienced before; I saw in a TH-cam video that stress can cause scalp acne, so I thought work being stressful at the moment was the cause!
Thanks for explaining it was my scalp brush, and of course for your wise healthy hair routine! Despite how much bleach I use, to get my bright ginger, daphne from scooby doo hair colour, my hair has never been as silky soft and healthy as it is now, despite my scalp not being happy!
If you stop bleaching and dyeing your hair your scalp will likely heal up. The chemicals in bleaches and dyes cause major skin issues.
I thought hair was really clean when it was squeaky. I always liked Prell as it was the only shampoo that would get my hair really squeaky clean.
I have a niece who washed her hair every morning, don't know if she still does. She said if she didn't her head would be itchy.
This channel saved my hair! I knew a few of the basics- but I would say refusing constant trims was my biggest break through!! And leave in conditioner
I’ve tried a lot of stuff but eventually water residues due to water quality is often the main issue. So vinegar naturally dissolves the residues, that’s why an apple cider vinegar Rinse solved it for me. (Make sure to dissolve it with a lot of water, and the stink goes away as it dries ). Investing in a water filtering shower head doesn’t hurt either.
I use leave in conditioner because of you
That redken clarifying shampoo is so nice! Doesn't strip my super dry scalp and it's sooo amazing ❤️
that pureology leave in conditioner is so amazing like wow
Hey Chris can you do a video discussing about people who lives in tropical countries. 365 days of Sunny humid weather. Easily sweat daily, have to definitely wash hair daily, the pros and cons. Things to note? Am in Singapore. Love watching your channel.
I have been using the hair routine with Redken shampoo and love it. 8 months and my natural platinum hair is fabulous. Thank you Chris!
It is not true that every person can go three days with fresh looking hair. I believe you that a lot of people can by using the right products and that many people don’t shampoo thoroughly but I have PCOS and my hair is looking oily after 12 hours. I tried almost everything. The only thing that made it look less oily was a scalp bleach because my hair soaked up the oil more after being that damaged and porous. Dry shampoo helps a little but that’s just another way to soak up all the oil. I use a BHA treatment the night before washing. I wash with a clarifying shampoo AT LEAST two times, I could never get away with just once. Sometimes I do it more often if necessary. I tried letting the shampoo soak in, scalp massage before and during shampooing. I used your technique and I really get in there, in between the layers and my neck. And still, I am oily in the evening. Please accept that there are conditions that cause an extremely oily scalp and don’t gaslight people into thinking they are doing something wrong. It’s hard enough to deal with all the other symptoms of hormonal imbalances and then being blamed for your oily hair on top of that. I am being shamed and made feeling dirty all my life even though I wash my hair more often than healthy people and I have hair loos on top due to my condition, which makes the oiliness appear even more severe.
FINALLY AN HONEST VIDEO! God bless this man!
I noticed that when I used the sulfate free shampoos my hair was really oily and gross the next day, I continued to use them because everyone was saying that sulfate was bad for hair I started to itch and I noticed my scalp not smelling fresh right after I washed it, I tried many different sulfate free shampoos and it continued one day on a whim I purchased vo5 for a dollar as washed my hair it felt as if my scalp was breathing I'm sorry but I just can't use the sulfate free shampoos any more also has developed pimples on my scalp NEVER again do I want to experience that.😩
I would love to see you do a video on caring for & maintaining extensions. I just got hand-tied NBR method extensions & want to prolong the life of them as long as possible while also caring for and improving the health of my natural hair & keeping my new growth. I’ve recently started following a lot of your recommendations (leave in conditioner, professional shampoo/conditioner, wet brush, Olaplex oil, blowout cream, heat protectant, sleeping with hair up to maintain style & use less heat) and it’s definitly making a difference. Love your content, thank you for making these super helpful videos!!
Thanks so much! You’ve made my hair better than it’s been since childhood! I appreciate the honesty and good advice! You have no idea how much I appreciate you. 💖 I’ve gone years thinking I was stuck here.
I wash my hair with clarifying shampoo. Two shampoos, but it's always very greasy the next day!
Same! I got the nexus clarifying and i stayed so greasy! The only thing that’s helped is cleaning my brush with soap and water once a week, and taking vitamin d and iron.
This saved me and my hair, I went from my hair getting greasy after 3 days to just a bit greasy at the 6-day mark. I now worship shampooing twice 🤣
I love your channel. Never knew double washing was a thing. Found out about it one day accidently and it has worked wonders!!!!❤❤
Wait. There are people out there that only wash their hair once?? 🤯 Does nobody read the shampoo bottles that say “lather, rinse, repeat”? I’ve done that my entire life!
Hi Chris, I am doing exactly what you say, I follow all your tips, I use products that you recommend. And I still can’t go two days without washing 😢.
Thats because the real cause of oily hair is not being addressed. Oily hair is cause by overactive sebaceous glands. Usualy dairy is the culprit. Research dairy , androgen excess from dairy, and how it effects us oily sufferers. Consider giving up dairy. Wait 2 weeks. Life changing. This guy never talks about nutrition, because he sells products, not food. I know people who use white rain and have gorgeous hair. Fruits, veggies, drink water. Life changing. Gotta address the real cause of oily hair.
@@donnahollywood8007 he's not a nutritionist.
Oily hair could be caused by beauty routine or hormonal imbalance.
Some of these factors include:
Using Too Many Products
The frequent use of serum, hair gels, oils, conditioner, and the like can harm your hair strands. The accumulation of different hair products in your hair can weigh it down. In addition, the use of alcohol-based products can also disturb the sebaceous glands, producing more oil than usual.
Shampooing Too Often
Most people develop the habit of shampooing too often as they believe it gets rid of excess oils. Although this is true in some cases, shampooing too often can promote excess sebum production to replace the lost oils in your hair.
Natural Oily Hair
Some hair types are naturally oily, making it almost impossible to avoid oily hair. This condition is common in people with straight strands as sebum can travel freely from roots to the tips. Curly hair can also be oilier on the roots because sebum fails to reach other parts of the hair strand.
One of the best temporary solutions to oily hair is proper shampooing, but what happens if your hair remains oily even after shampooing? Poor hair care routine, environmental factors, overproduction of sebum, and other underlying health conditions can cause your hair to remain oily even after you shampoo. Yet, the major culprit of oily hair is poor shampooing routines like:
Over-conditioning your hair
Not rinsing the products out of your hair properly
Using heavy conditioner on your hair
Product buildup
Rinsing your hair with super hot water
Applying too many products after washing
Washing your hair too often
Using a gentle, clarifying shampoo and lightweight, non-greasy hair care products may be able to reduce sebum production in your hair.
Your skin is covered in tiny pores, also called hair follicles. Your hair follicles surround the root and strand of the hair within. Most of these hair follicles also contain the sebaceous glands, the glands that produce oil. These oil glands keep the skin and hair healthy and moisturized. They also help prevent skin infections.
Sometimes, these glands can produce too much oil, causing oily skin and hair. There are a few different things that can cause excess oil production, including:
Changing hormones. Your sebaceous glands are controlled by hormones, and when those hormones change, your glands may produce more oil. This is especially common for people going through puberty or for people taking hormone medications, such as birth control.
Genetics. Some people are just born with glands that produce more oil, just like some people are born with glands that produce less and lead to dry skin and hair.
Humidity. Weather can affect the way your hair looks and feels. In humid environments, less moisture evaporates from your skin, which can lead to your hair feeling weighed down.
Stress. Like puberty, stress can affect your hormone levels and cause your pores to make more oil.
Oily hair symptoms usually involve the look and feel of your hair. Your hair may look greasy or shiny. It can feel heavy or weighed down and greasy to the touch. Overproductive oil glands on the scalp can also cause the scalp to become itchy and irritated.
Oily skin may also contribute to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is a condition in which your skin becomes inflamed and itchy and causes the skin to flake. Dandruff is a type of seborrheic dermatitis. An oily scalp can lead to dandruff caused by the yeast-like fungus Malassezia. This fungus feeds on the oil on your scalp. Regular dandruff can also happen when the scalp is oily and the excess oil begins to irritate the skin, leading to an itchy scalp, inflammation, and skin flakes.
@@donnahollywood8007 it's not just dairy....
I eat a lot of dairy and my hair isn't greasy.
There's a lot at play...
@@donnahollywood8007 yes I think that’s my problem is my glands!! I have really oily skin as well 😢
@@DebbieTDP true, hes not a nutritionest, but one would have to be lacking in intelligence not to know that healthier food will result in better hair. The above conditions you prescribed can cause oily hair, but Im talking about chronic oily hair. Chronic oily hair , even after changing the aboved described conditions, still remains persistent, and confusing and frustrating to the person. Ive suffered chronic oily skin from age 14 to 36. Obviously in that time i tried every shamppo and conditioner combo you can think of. No poo, only washing once or twice a week, none of that "helped" . Glad you brought up hormones though, because that is exactly how dairy messes with hormones. Milk is meant for baby cows, not us. The hormones and proteins are designed to make a small mammal grow to a large mammal in a short amount of time. You can only guess whats its messing g up inside our bodies . In women, androgen levels goes up, as does testosterone. Results, hirsitism, thyroid problems, pcos, and yes , chronic acne. Chronic acne is accompanied buy oily skin. In simple terms, the cow hormones that are not meant for you are screwing up our hormones. Add the weird synthetic hormones to the cocktail, and we have all kinds of weird things happening, including early puberty. Weird. But people will fight tooth and nail for their cheese. They wont even look at research. Its common sense, really. If you eliminate the causes (dairy) then youll enmoy washing your hair less, no dry ends from overwashing, combat heavy conditioners, pay people money for very expensive shampoos thats just a hype, less powdering, better smell. Eliminating cheese is hard, but you finally get to feel like a girl not a grease slick. The rest can suffer.
Where does dandruff come in? My husband has bad dandruff and can't get rid of it. Could he be using the wrong shampoo? My hair is get using your tips and I tell everyone about this you-tube channel.
Professional shampoo??? Hmmm… but after salon visit my hair is greasy the next day anyway 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Another advice often change your pillow sheets, helps not only stay your hair clean but also your facial skin
3 days is my max. I shampoo twice and use a gentle, professional shampoo that is a gel consistency, so it effectively cleanses and doesn't weigh my hair down. Does wonders!
I’ve been trying the routine recommended by the videos for a few months now. I have short hair and oily scalp. I double cleanse and don’t condition the roots. I can barely make it to day 3 without feeling gross even with dry shampoo. I unfortunately found that by shampooing every 3 days I developed much more itchy scalp and dandruff.
Same 😓
Same... I cannot do more than 2 days and I'd rather just wash a bit more often than use dry shampoo every time to prolong it.
I to have developed itchy scalp and dandruff and followed the routine for fine hair with all of the recommended products
I was using L'Oreal sulfate free and my hair was great. I would shampoo every 3-5 days without problems. I ran out and used a cheap shampoo trying to stick to the same routine and I developed adult cradle crap 😭. Used Pantene and improved somewhat. Then I bought Chris's Trinity Products 1st routine, my hair was dryer than I've ever seen it before. Waited three days 2nd round to wash and my hair was okay the first day but now on third day it is oily and itchy like I've never felt before. I am buying Nizorole Incase it's a yeast from the cheap shampoo. Wish me luck 😮
Please consider seeing a dermatologist or trichologist
I would love a video on thin fine short curly hair. 50+ Please and thank you...
We need a video on how to style natural wavy hair.
Also the best products for styling
Love your videos! Could you do a video on how to refresh/restyle your hair after hitting the gym. I don’t want to wash my hair every day and every video I look at on this topic says to blow dry your hair after every session. Ty!
God bless u!!! And thanks for making this video in response to my previous comment, much appreciated ❤
I always washed my hair like this, using high end professional products for my hairtype and still my hair is greasy on 2nd day. Thats just my scalp and it always was like that, so if thats the case with you, nothing will keep your hair clean for 3 or more days
Thank you for your advice. I am trying these tips from you on my own hair, which is fine and oily. Does this advice apply to mature hair also as I'm 67?
I'm a teenager so my scalp is basically oilier than ever and I accepted that. I use a pure balancing shampoo from a professional brand and I'm gonna try these tips. I currently wash every day
Washing everyday is ok. Especially if you naturally have oily scalp and or dandruff.
I love your videos I’ve binge watched them all and am implementing your advice with a few adjustments due to hair loss. I’m hoping to revive my hair. Thanks for all the advice. Side note, you remind me of Gerard Butler for some reason.
He is the man! Saving people's hair...one head at the time! :)
Thank u so much for telling the truth finally !! All my life been looking for good shampoos and good hair products never found any that suits my hair type but now I can proudly say that I found the golden products because of u ❤️
Regarding the clarifying shampoo...ok. What exactly does 'drying out your hair' mean then, in that context. The last five minutes were all about how important it is, to use a quality shampoo to actually really, thoroughly clean the oils from your scalp and hair. And how drugstore shampoos won't do that. So what exactly does clarifying shampoo do then, above and beyond 'thoroughly cleaning the oil from your scalp and hair'? Clean is clean. Either there is still oil left or everything is stripped off and gone. Can't have it both ways.
It was always my understanding, that the point of clarifying shampoo was, to remove product built up, not natural oils. Stuff, that needed stronger or just very specific detergents to dissolve.
So does 'drying out' then mean, the hair is stripped of any and all silicones and such and might therefor seem 'dry' or 'damaged'?
Goodness this info has just come in so handy!
Daughter had haircut today, hairdresser says her hair is dry… but we know she actually has oily hair type. Mine is actually such a dry hair that I go a week without washing as I have textured hair. 😅 so I was so confused earlier when we were told hair was dry. ( think problem here is actually her hair routine).
After watching this video info 🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!….. we are going to try it and hope that things get better very soon. 🎉🎉
I wash my hair every two days when I'm working. I sweat like crazy and by the end of the second day my hair is a mess. all the sweat and oil is just two much. when I'm not working, I can easily stretch my hair wash to 3 and even 4 days. I'm still trying to find a dry shampoo that will actually make my hair look refresh.
Hi! I just discovered your videos and loving everything I'm learning so far! Would you do a video explaining the difference between Kenra thermal styling spray, and the Kenra hot spray 20? I'm also in Florida and I'm following all of your longevity tips lol there are so many inflyencers that I find, but when I find out they live in LA I'm like, nope next! Because they do not have the same frizz struggles 😅
This checks out... I started washing my comb every time cos i noticed if i don't, it makes my hair oily very often. And i noticed that when i washed my hair twice, i got better results, but i stopped doing that unless really oily, because i was scared it was drying my scalp too much...
Hi Chris, thanks for the amazing advice! I would like to ask you, what is your opinion about the keratin blowdry as a method to strengthen the hair?
Hello Chris! I have always had very frizzy and fine hair that never grew beyond a certain length. Now, following your advices I have noticed some improvement! They are healthier and grow longer. Can you please make a video with some tips for summer? For example what products to use for sea/hot/sun and how to get a nice result with air drying hair?
Totally agree about sun/sea/beach/pool routine😊
I know you said there's no close second to the leave-in conditioner from pureology.... But I live in Brazil and pureology is not available =(
Wich one would you say is the not so close second and third?😅 kkkkkkk
*We have kerastase, redken, l'oreal ( just saying this brands because I saw you've mentioned them in other videos and products recommendations )
I’d love to know your opinion on hair extensions! At this point I only trust your opinion so I’d absolutely love to hear all your thoughts on this
I bought actually a hair scrub with tea tree oil, and it really made a diffraction for me. I have also shampoo with it and the combination changed everything, plus a good hair mask and a leave in condition. I also stopped using hair oil.
Main Hairtype:
Brown, thin hair.
Oily hair on the sculp and a bit dry.
Do you have any tips for itchy scalps?
The ordinary hair serum saved my scalp psoriasis . It’s water based so doesn’t cause oiliness . Ik he says hair serums don’t work but lord I don’t have flare ups anymore and itchiness. I also switched to L’Oréal ever pure bond repair line which is identical to redkins bond repair line because they are created by the same company
Please make a video on hair colour suitable for skintones . 🙏
I'm excited! I've got an oily scalp but let's see whether that is "fake news" because of my routine 😅 it could be. I love how relevant your videos are!
Thanks for another great video!
Truly the only person I trust for hair advice ugh.
Hello Chris! Your videos are so helpful! I've been years struggling with oily hair... will you be adding more products to your list, especially for Fine hair?? Thank you very much.
Can we get a haircare routine for people who have to be on medicated shampoos? Like those of us with seb derm, eczema, or psoriasis? The medicated shampoo is absolutely necessary when in the middle of a flare up but the shampoos wreck absolute havoc on the lengths of my hair.
I’m not a pro or anything but I have seborrheic dermatitis so I know what you’re talking about! I “pre-poo” with oil, but you can also use a hair mask. Then I’d use my regular conditioner after I washed my hair. I found it helped my ends from getting rough and dry.
I doubt hell make such a video. He only wants to push certain products.
Thank you for all of your helpful tips. What products to you recommend for dry itchy scalp/dandruff?
Is it still possible to go longer between washes without dry shampoo? If I leave dry shampoo in for more than a day my scalp gets itchy, so I always have to wash it out in the end of the day.
Yes, me too!!
I can't even use dry shampoo. It makes my scalp itchy as well
Try using ordinary scalp serum literally saved me from my scalp psoriasis. Ik he says those things don’t work but lord it helped me and I haven’t had a flare up on a month . It’s water based so no oiliness
@@jociir2650 The moisturizing one? Because I tried the peptide serum and it did nothing for me. Haven't tried to use it right before dry shampoo to see if there is any difference in itchiness though.
I have itchy scalp too, which does get worse the longer I go without washing my hair and the more dry shampoo I use. I started using The Mane Choice Scalp Renewal serum and IGK’s charcoal dry shampoo and I haven’t had itchy scalp since! I’m having trouble finding the scalp renewal but Mane does have a Manetabolism serum which looks like it does the same thing. The IGK dry shampoo has white tea powder in it that is supposed to smooth the scalp too. It’s expensive, but completely worth it. It’s the best dry shampoo I’ve tried.
I have oily scalp too. Must wash every other day!
I put my brushes on the floor in the shower , and then, when I wash my hair, I let the shampoo drop down onto the brushes.
I do it every month. Seems to work great.
Thank you so much. I get oily hair very quickly and I will try your tips. I do have a question what professional hair shampoos and conditioners is the best to keep oily hair cleaner and longer lasting?
Hi i'd really appreciate more shampoo options! Redken in the UK vs US has VERY different ingredients and I think that's why I'm still struggling with my oily hair (still much better than other shampoos) but I'd love to get to 3-4 days without washing
Yeah I got Redken as well and I'm still having a bit of trouble, but seeing improvements. I'm in Canada. I was interested in their clarifying shampoo but I got the volume injection one because the clarifying one has a warning about sun exposure since it contains salicylic acid. I wish he would recommend more clarifying shampoos.
I find that milkshake brand shampoos you can order in the uk and ireland are very good
@@venus_envy Salicylic acid? Nice! That may be what I need.
Salicylic acid in shampoo? Interesting idea.
Although for my oily face, it was Retinol, that finally did the trick. Is there a scalp product with that 😅
His pulp riot shampoo is great for fine hair. But I also really like the pureology shampoo that’s in the blue bottle. I’ve got fine hair. As far as a clarifying shampoo, nothing beats the k18 detox shampoo which has salicylic acid in it.
Amazing advice! I can’t wait to try. Wish I watched this before buying a scalp scratcher
I have had oily hair since about 11, I'm 62 now and it's still oily I have tried everything nothing works, even Dry Shampoo doesn't I need to wash mine every 2 to 3 days.
That COMMENT
Its so true and people really dont GET it that some people have oily hair bc they have it! There is NO cure for oily hair. It is genetic in most cases
Same here..
Even with dry shampoo I wash every other day
Have you tried IGK’s charcoal dry shampoo? It’s intense! It’s by far the best dry shampoo I’ve used (WAY better than the Berlin dry shampoo Chris recommends). I have very fine, very oily, very straight hair and I can go three days without washing my hair if I use a little bit of it every day after washing day. It does still feel nasty by day three, but it doesn’t look too bad. I have noticed that if I spray it on near my scalp and don’t touch it for about five minutes, then use my brush (not your hands, that just spreads the oil) to massage it around the rest of my scalp (don’t brush your hair, you want to keep as much of the dry shampoo on your scalp and roots as possible. Use small circular movements so your hair doesn’t tangle up too much, but still spreads the dry shampoo), then wait about five more minutes (I usually spend that time rehydrating my hair because I get really bad staticy hair), and then brush out my hair, that it looks clean. I haven’t quite figured out how to preserve my style though, so it never looks as good as it did on the first day, but it at least looks clean.
Quit dairy. It sends oul glands into overdrive. You can research this yourself.
those scalp massagers have silicone spikes they're not hard or pokey
Hello Chris, can you please do a video on products and hair care routine for dandruff please!!!!
