Same! I've been so dissatisfied with my hair care recently because nothing seems to work! I didn't even know having a combination was possible until now!
@@Hayleigh_bI started bleaching my hair then dying it my normal color. U can literally bleach the grease out lol tons of threads on people doing it out of desperation!

This generation of people are so lucky, I wish I had this information when I was young, my hair was awful out of ignorance. So glad to have found your channel I've learned so much about hair that I wish I had known 40 years ago.
Some times there'are too much bad info..an exemple..your hormones dont change if you dont clean and wash your hair..so..if its dirty and you have oily scalp you 'd better wash it so often you need..any tricology doctor can give you this advice..so..this video also have wrong news..😂
I'm so glad there is more consideration for us oily scalp people and we are no longer being told to not wash our hair for a week. To clarify, I tried that once. For a year. My hair looked so, so bad.
There is no product that works for everyone so these kinds of reviews are almost useless. Drugstore shampoos are not for my combination processed hair for sure. I have tried Davines, Brae, Redken, Olaplex, Wow you name it. Some products works, some don't. I would refrain of using Davines 10 in 1 leave- in and their oil from the same OI series because it makes my hair greasier and heavier no matter how hard I rub before applying a tiny bit of it. Olaplex 3 makes me want to switch to K18 or Redken 14. Wow is a good coating, let's see how the Pureology leave-in works on my hair that is still porous and dry.
I have never applied product when my hair is sopping wet. You just dilute it and need more product to get the same result. Of course, I have been styling my wavy hair since before the whole curly girl movement set up a ton of rules to follow. IMHO, some good, some unnecessary. Like squish to condish.
@@terrykobrenski4781 was that wavy hair? i said CURLY hair. we have thicker her and damp hair does not sleek on the products the way wet hair does. so if you feel a way because you feel you own waved hair or curly hair, you are barking up the wrong tree with that. i have 3c curly hair and those who know? knows. now maybe for your hair texture it works. but not on mine. thanks for stopping by tho.
I mean I have a pretty tight curl and I can do it damp or soaking wet. It all depends on my mood. Personally I don't towel dry at all, but if I let my hair sit for a while it becomes damp. It all depends on the desired end look. Disclaimer, when I style damp I don't get kore frizz
I have very frizz prone fine hair. If I try scrunching it when it’s only damp, I tend to get more frizz, even with great styling products. The point is, that everyone is different. What works or doesn’t work for you may work or not work for someone else.
I have learned i’m just an oily person, i am not built for clean girl silk hair aesthetic lol. i have tried every single method and my face and hair still becomes oily in the same day. oily girls unite 🥂
Same o can wash my hair at night and when I wake up it's oily again. I've tried going without washing but once a week for a long time to try and "regulate" but it never did
@@ambertunney96do what I did and look up bleaching your hair to combat grease. I bleach my hair every few months and dye over it. There is tons of threads about bleaching the grease out. Something about the oil not being able to hold to the follicle or something. Either way bc my hair is so greasy the bleach doesn’t bother it, and now I can go a few days without washing bc my hair is so much less oily! Desperate times!
Brad! Can you PLEASE do a video on female hair thinning/loss? I have long hair and it used to be thick and now, at 30 and a stressful long relationship, it’s long still but I feel like there’s SO much fall out in the shower. It’s thinning a bit around the hairline. It still looks good when I style it, but I want to prevent any future loss. Scalp is dry but no dandruff and I’ve tried so many shampoos. I’ve had luck with a rosemary oil scalp/hair treatment before using a rosemary shampoo/mask that I use twice a week. I’ve definitely noticed less fallout but idk help. Also I’m Italian, so..female hair thinning is pretty common. Haaaalp
Omg! I had this exact same thing happen. After I got out of my terrible and stressful relationship I realized that my hair had gotten so thin. I was so bad at self care and too depressed to do anything with my hair and seems like it's all gonna now. I was just looking at pics from when I was younger last night and I wanted to cry. I really wish there was something I could do to reverse it all together but it seems like this is how it is now. It's very upsetting
@@ErgmermergI agree with this. I have hashimotos thyroiditis and my hair is extremely dry, brittle, fragile and snaps at the root as well as falls out on clumps. It's just par for the course of autoimmune diseases 😢
Former hairdresser here, a lot of the time hair loss is actually an external symptom of something going on internally with hormones or deficiencies of essential things for your body, be it nutritional, environmental etc. In my clients if it hit in their 30s or 40s a lot of the time it was hormonal. It is definitely worth a chat with your doctor who can check and assess if everything is as it should be. The good news is, after these things are managed hair generally regrows well.
A hairdressing student here. I'm currently working in a salon, and there's been clients asking this exact thing, as the person above me mentioned it's probably a hormonal issue or some kind of imbalance, but one thing my mentor said is that you can try different treatments. It's not guaranteed they'll work or even do anything at all, but she always said that it's good to massage your scalp when you're washing your hair. That's sort only thing you can do externally, of that makes sense.
Hi Brad, I’m a guy and just subscribed to your channel. I just wanted to say thank you for the positive upbeat energy you bring to every video. I’ve been going through some really hard times over the last few months especially and watching your videos always ends up putting a smile on my face. Oh, and that hair mask definitely seems like something I might need… I struggle with a dry scalp and flaking. Thanks again for your amazing content! 🙏🏼❤️✨
Also worth noting, there are medical causes for having an overly oily scalp (hormone imbalances for one), so it might be worth talking to your doctor if you are majorly struggling with an oily scalp. (Sorry if Brad already mentioned this, I may have missed it.)
thank you brad for being so wholesome and coming on here to talk about things you’re passionate about, and to actually make a difference in our lives helping us. you’re always so mindful about providing many options for us when recommending products or giving advice and we all really appreciate you!! thank you for being so kind, informative and entertaining when teaching us. i remember discovering you 5 years ago binge watching all your videos while i was going through a rough time, relishing in the positivity of your little corner. i’m now an adult instead of a little 8th grader, and really considering going into cosmetology school for hair. remember your channel is a beacon of light in the social media world, and your videos do a lot more good than you may know❤️
Brad Mondo I am obsessed with your videos. I have just begun my haircare journey (only 34 years late to the party) I am educating myself through your videos and the only thing I wish is that I could buy your products in New Zealand. I honestly feel like I'm missing out. Thank you Brad, for inspiring me to have fabulous hair styles and encouraging be to start taking hair care seriously. ❤ Top tier.
Since being pregnant, I know now (more than ever) it wasn't my 'haircare routine' that made my scalp oily, it's my hormones. I also notice it when it's the time of the month. So everyone that says: 'only wash your hair once or twice a week'... That's fun if you don't have the impact of your hormones. (; Now that I'm pregnant, I can finally do that. But before I had to wash my hair every other day.
So true though, I took acne medication a few years ago that messed with my hormones and it was the least oily, least irritated and itchy my scalp has ever been. It returned to oily and itchy once I stopped taking the med.
I got Hydraglow for my birthday (shampoo+condition+conditioning spray). My ends haven't felt that soft in SO LONG. So definitely a good pick if you're in the same boat as I am, which is the one Brad discusses in this video :)
If only you had released this video yesterday. I have combo hair and just got soooo frustrated with the dry ends that I chopped off 80% of the length of my hair. 😂😂 Thank goodness it grows back.
I shampoo when I feel dirty. It fluctuates for me. Sometimes twice and some times once a week. Brad's knowledge keeps growing. It's really cool to see. I remember watching his old video about how wash hair. The main takeaway here of new information is how much shampoo to use. In his old video he said use a dime size amount and I never saw that as enough product. I lose my suds near the ears and have to go in for more. I can get away with about a nickle sized amount for the front and back and then I need more for the sides.
I am glad I came to your class, too. I love getting to learn from you. I don't do my hair. I pay my hair stylist to do it. She gives me a blowout twice a week. After some testing, I discovered that 2 washes a week does well for my hair. She always starts by exfoliating my scalp before washing it, and then goes and washes it twice. She does a really good job taking care of it and keeping it healthy. And because I don't want to ruin anything she did, I try to touch it as least as possible.
Omg! You just wrote a happy ending to my horror story and I'm really happy to know the steps I've been taken so far were the right ones. Long story short, I moved to Japan. Before, I had perfect, soft, shinny wavy hair without doing anything special. In Japan, I noticed it started to get freezy and dry. After the feather like softness gone then the snow fall started until I scratched my scalp once and a chunck of... Dead skin I guess I don't even want to know.... Fell off. I started losing bunch of hair and everything I was trying didn't work... Shampoo frequency, changing brands, etc. That was until I heard in a banal discution that the tap water in Japan was STRONG as hell. A lot of minerals and other stuffs I don't remember the name was inside. I got myself a filter shower and DAMN that helped a lot! Second thing was the ingredients in the shampoo. Asians tend to have very thick and strong hair so the ingredients in the shampoo is different from the Canadian one, even the same brand. I tried very expensive shampoo from Japan and I finally had to find my soul-shampoo/cond. On Amazon. In the procress, I lost half of my hair. I was applying my c conditioner in the shower and it was falling off like bleach fail. I thought at some point I had contracted some kind of desease but since I got my filter head shower and my soul-shampoo/cond. I see some growing going on! My hair falls to my lower back and I'm always getting a hair cut in Japan, so it's really even (no big layers) everytimes I wake up, I see these little growing crazy fellows sticking out of my night braid 😂 but I'm so happy to see them! My hair is doing good but my scalp still have issues, very dry and stuff so I wanted to use a scalp mask or something. I've never tried it so I don't really know what to use, but we'll see! Thank you for saving everyone's hair! I love your videos! You're always so sweet ❤
YES, cleaning your hair brushes are essential. I never realized this up until this past year. I clean mine every 2 weeks, if not sooner if using a lot of product, I clean the hair out, use a small tub or big bowl, hot water, dawn dish soap, and vinegar, then let them sit for a bit, swish them, massage them to clean them, take them out run under hot water . It also makes my hair brushes last alot longer, as well as your combs. Its amazing what you see in the water after.....so YES clean your brushes.....
I have very fine, thin hair that gets oily VERY quickly. I’ve tried the training method twice (once for months and this time it’s been over a year) and it doesn’t get any less oily for me 🤷🏻♀️
ofc it doesn't! what he says about "hair training" is a bunch of bs. please listen to an actual expert on this topic, like a dermatologist or a trichologist, not a hair stylist.
Some people are just oily people and no amount of shampoo or no shampoo can help that. I'm very oily, my face is also very oily. I tried all of these things but nothing helped, it's just the way my skin is. Somehow these people who make TH-cam videos never address that lmao.
same! for years i've tried "training" my hair so many times for so long but it just never worked. as @Nikki-rx8ri i also have very oily skin, all over. because its just the way our skin is no matter what we do our hair will always get oily. its internal.
I have the same issue. What completely helped me is using volumizing shampoo and hydrating conditioner. Leave conditioner in while scrubbing the shampoo in with a scalp scrubber. Then wash it out from scalp to ends. Then go in once more with the shampoo all over to get out whatever conditioner didn’t get soaked in off my hair and wash it off immediately so it doesn’t dry it out too much. One thing that I noticed helps tremendous is do a cold water rinse afterwards to close up all the pores and follicles. Then I use a volumizing foam on my scalp (not too much) and Paul Mitchell’s serum on the ends. Use a wet brush and dry my hair in sections plus upside down. Using this method I can sometimes go 2-3 weeks without washing my hair. And I used to have to wash it EVERY day because it got so oily so damn fast.
I remember being very little (4, maybe) and my mom bathing me in the tub. She’d put conditioner on my long hair and would always clip it real quick while I bathed myself, telling me to not wash it out of my hair until I was ready to get out and dry off. That carried with me through my teens and into adulthood lol … I still clip it back if it’s long enough and wait until I’m ready to get out to rinse it. My hair would always be detangled and free of tatting/knots. She also stressed the importance of not washing hair with warm/hot water (which is a bummer as I love hot showers). Helps it feel so smooth and healthy.
This video was SO helpful! And the test was brilliant! Whoever came up with that idea... KUDOS! Brad, you have such an electric and genuine personality. I didn't know I was doing so many things wrong but will definitely follow these tips so my hair gets healthier and looks better. Thank you!
I did not have a pen and paper at the beginning of the video and 3mins in, I’m here scrabbling to take notes. Help me, Brad, help this hair ✨✨ much love! 💖
I started a retail job with salon centric back in July I am so new to hair but I have been obsessed with you and your videos for years even before working in the industry! Even though I only work retail, i am always trying to gain info from the customers that come in and on the products they buy! You are always my go to and have given me inspiration to go back to school for it! The way you break stuff down for a beginner to learn and grow from your knowledge! I have never been a girly girl ever since just selling products to stylists, I never realized how much goes into it! The science, the creativity!!!! Cosmetology all around is pure art! Did I mention you are absolutely gorgeous and adorable Ty for educating and sharing your talent! @Bradmondo
As someone who has hereditary oily hair with dry ends, me knowing it's hereditary due to that fact my grandfather slept on a towel over his pillow and plastic under his pillow case. I appreciate that not only did i get 9/10 questions right. But i wasn't crazy or wrong like people told me when i said i need a clarifying shampoo on my roots and to use a super creamy conditioner for my ends. Instead of the standard oily hair shampoo and conditioner combo that never worked. The only thing that sucks is i know all this and still have it so oily that i end up only not being an oil slick incarnate when i wash everyday. But still appreciate the not feeling dumb and crazy part, so thanks!
I have a few questions, for people in the comments and Brad 😅 1. Should you use a detangle/wet brush to evenly distribute the conditioner throughout the lengths of your hair? 2. Do you have a video on dry scalp/dandruff? I have dandruff, top of my head gets greasy after a couple days, and I have dry ends 🙄 It does my head in. I use Head and Shoulders but I'm not sure if it's the right shampoo for my hair type 🤷♀️ Any information would be helpful, thank you. 3. I'm disabled and using my fingers too much makes my hands fatigued and weak. Could I benefit from using a shampoo brush/scalp massager instead? 4. Does anyone know if Brad (or someone else) has a video on how much shampoo and conditioner you should use for different hair lengths? Love your videos Brad, I watch clips everyday, thanks for sharing 😊
I have dry scalp as well, and it bugs me so much. I also use Head and Shoulders (it’s the combo of shampoo and conditioner), but I always felt like my hair was very dry after I was all done washing it and everything. So I started using another conditioner as well just on my middles and ends, and it’s been a night and day difference. I think a scalp massager could work very well for you, I have actually been thinking about getting one as well since I’ve heard lots of good things about them.
Another thing to pay attention to; how your hair feels when it's wet. A lot of problems can be diagnosed when your hair is wet. If it feels like dry grass clippings, it's seriously dried out. That's when you need a deep moisturizing mask, and a better every wash day conditioner. If it feels more like cooked spaghetti, it is protein-depleted. You need a mega-protein treatment. And, you should use a leave-in with protein. If it feels like slime when it's wet, there's no coming back to healthy hair. You can't fix it with anything that is applied to the surface of the hair. It's truly "dead" hair, and needs to be cut off.
@@songbirdyy After detangling with conditioner, yes. But not just water wet. I had my hands in thousands of people's hair. I don't remember healthy hair ever feeling slimy with nothing on the hair.
@@svenbengtsson9753 The best way to describe what normal, healthy hair should feel like, is to say - Touch the untreated hair at your scalp. Seriously, you just rub your fingers into your hair right after you shampoo and rinse. It should feel smooth and firm, and you should be able to discern individual strands when you rub it between your fingers. Hair that is slightly rougher feeling at mid-stand is normal. As is the very ends of very long hair. It's completely normal to lose a bit of internal moisture and protein once your hair reaches about 12 inches or so. But if it starts feeling brittle or stiff when wet, it needs more than a simple conditioner.
Hey! So if you have oily hair after following Brads video PLEASE make sure you are using the correct shampoo. If your shampoo has any OILS in it THROW IT OUT! like Brad said, purchase a clarifying shampoo or one that says Volume on it. When you go to apply your leave in conditioner and heat protection do it on ur damp hair. Then after you blow dry and style ur hair then put on ur hair oil on ur ends only. Secondly, when it’s time for your next shower and you wanna skip washing ur hair USE A SHOWER CAP! I know it’s not the cutest look but the water is going to make ur hair frizzy and the humidity so that should help as well. Ooh ANDDD PURCHASE A SATIN BONNET or satin pillow cases. This will also help with the frizz control and help less hair fall out. Third, instead of using dry shampoo use cornstarch or coco powder or baking soda and rub it in on ur scalp ( you can use a cheap makeup brush too ). Make sure to clean ur hair brush as well like Brad said. If you’re trying to get long hair just be patient .. you can take biotin vitamins or prenatal vitamins but honestly patience and a good hair routine is key. Hope this helps
Love your videos Brad Mondo. I have learned so much from you. I also learned so much from the Blowout Professor and I think it would be so awesome for the two of you to do some videos together and/or even do a video on shampoo bars. I specifically use Viori Bars and they have different bars according to hair type and I absolutely love them. They even started selling them in Sephora stores now. Thanks so much for sharing all your hair knowledge!!
Oh my! You are my life saver! I moved to a place that has the hardest water of any place I've lived. It has affected my hair, my skin, and in so many ways that I never knew water could! Now i need to brave up and cut some of my hair off and start fresh!! ❤❤
I have such thin hair that gets both oily and frizzy at the same time. It's so frustrating. Thank you for the advice and encouragement! I really needed it today.
I just want to thank you for this video. I've been struggling with my hair being dry but scalp being oily. I used the advice in this video (well, I use all your advice when it comes to hair, really) and it's been 3 days since I've washed my hair and it's not oily!!
Brad when are your hair care products gonna launch at Sally’s? I picked up your super gloss and I love how soft it made my hair feel. I’m gonna order wave tech since I’ve been living my wavy hair life. Please launch your hair care at Sally’s because I’m too impatient to wait for shipping. Love your hair it’s giving HANDSOME vibes. Love you beautiful 😗❤
I know that this video is about the basics (& I have happy healthy naturally curly hair), but I still think it’s fab & super helpful! For example, I just learned that I’m overdoing hair masks on the reg. That’s why my hair gets weighed down. Thanks Brad, I’m gonna use more regular conditioner more noe too. 😊
As someone who used to shampoo and condition everyday as a kid and teen with Pantene my hair was so oily and gross… then I switched to lush shampoo and conditioner and can go every other day and my hair has never been happier and healthier
I trained my hair to go 1-2 weeks without washing, I also brush the oils through my hair to help it, It took a while to train my oily scalp but happy i didnt give up was tired of washing my hair every 3 days
What did you do? 3 days would already be a long stretch for me - if i dont need to see people (which is more regular) i dont wash it, but its oily 24h after washing it, no matter how long i try to not wash it more than once per week
@@Kenzi0815 this might sound gross but I left my hair alone , i didnt wash it for as long as i could, i would only ever wash my hair when i would see people , it just takes time to train your hair, Its like training your fringe to sit on the side
Thank you Brad !! Your products sound amazing, I hope to try them someday ! If you ever get enough demand, I would love to hear about tips for really fine hair. I have alopecia and the hair I still have on my head is really thin. Making it look like I still have a full head of hair is a struggle !
Dear Brad, I love your videos, you're one of my all-time favorite creators. I even use your products, because they absolutely SLAP! My problem is this: My hair is thin, wavy most days, naturally, and curly when I use products. Because of it being thin, it's not incredibly long, either. And I've looked FOREVER to find a good tutorial for a shorter thinner hair. I'm dying to give myself a good haircut (I've been cutting my own hair most of my life) but with my hair thinning out since I've hit 40, I've struggled to want to cut it but not having a good guide or idea of how to do it. (I'd love to do the butterfly cut, but my hair's too short to pull it all to the front and be able to cut more than an inch away from my face) Edit: As of 10/22/23 I've done the butterfly cut, and it's super cute! Can we please have a tutorial for those of us that have thinner hair, or would love to rock a shorter style? Much Love, The Lady Wolf
I went to Sally’s I live in Connecticut and I got your pink hair dye and I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love it I got so many compliments at work and it was the perfect amount of pink for me I have light brown hairAnd it was absolutely the perfect shade of pink. Thank you babes❤
Thanks so much for these tips. My scalp has been itchy and feeling crap. You have just put the writing on the wall why this is. So thank you for helping us x
Once I've washed & dried my hair, it feels so lovely, that's when I start touching it, running my fingers through it, thanks Brad, I'm making it oily again ❤
- Use a strong “clarifying” shampoo that will detox and strip the excess oil from your hair - Dry shampoo/baby powder in between hair wash days (bonus tip: it makes your hair fluffy and voluminous) - Drink 3-4L of water every day - Try consulting a dermatologist to understand why your skin/hair is too oily - Sleep on a silk pillow case and wash/change it every 2-3 days.
@@bethg7026 within a few hours (this isn’t my hair but my moms. I was looking into something for her and who else but Brad!) she has to wash her hair EVERY DAY bc she will wash it in the morning and the very next day/ morning it’s oily again. She doesn’t like to wash her hair everyday but she doesn’t like her hair looking greasy. She has very fine and thin hair so this doesn’t help
If you use a very strong detox shampoo, your scalp will over compensate and produce sebum. It’s a vicious circle which you need to break. It’s better to shampoo more frequently, with a mild shampoo.
Another tip: you can also tell if your hair is clean is after shampooing when you squeeze the excess water out and it has that squeaky feeling, then you’re ready to apply the conditioner.
Growing up my mom would make me wash my hair EVERYDAY and it was horrible for me! My hair looked like I NEVER washed it because of how oily it was, I got made fun of constantly! In highschool I started washing it only once a week and now (in my 30s) I only wash it once every week and a half to two weeks and my hair has honestly never looked better and more healthy Much love from Arizona 💜💜
Just poking in to say this (oily scalp and dry ends - especially tangled dry hair on the neck) is also linked to a (slight ) thyroid disfunction. Complementing with sea weeds (by mouth) does help a lot.
This video really saved my life! Thank you so much! I just wanted to know if Elvive is a good affordable brand to use (I live in South Africa) If not, what brand would you recommend? 😄💕
Thanks Brad 💕 Any advice for frizzy roots? 🙈 I thought adding product there would help tame it, but then it just gets oily faster too... It doesn't seem to matter whether I let it scrunch & airdry with curl products, or blowout or even straighten; there's always this fluffy hair at the roots 😭
I just bought a bamboo brush and a microfiber towel because i read that it can helps with frizz but that's all I know so a video from Brad about frizzy hair would be really useful
Been learning what I can from beauty videos in general. I do use drugstore shampoos and conditioners, BUT, I use the "mid-range" stuff. You can even look up which brands or products are sulfate free, which doesn't strip the hair as badly. It does take a little extra time to lather, but it's worth it. And they tend to have other ingredients that really help as well. Some of my personal favorites are OGX (especially the ones with coconut ingredients), and Aveeno (usually prefer the fuchsia bottles for this one, with blackberry and proteins). Some others I've experimented with were: The "ever pure" line from L'oreal; these are also sulfate free, but they didn't seem to provide as many benefits for my hair. The "whole blends" line from Garnier; I'd rank this right up there with OGX and Aveeno, although the standard line is NOT sulfate free. But, even in spite of that, they seem to benefit my hair almost as much as the others, due to the added ingredients. Really loved the golden colored, honey based one, which was great for helping my hair recover during winter. Hope this helps anyone else looking for decent products that won't break the bank!
Thank you Brad Mondo. My hair was never better. My greasy hair with dry ends was treated by clay shampoo, I massaged my skalp twice with shampoo and then applied mask and waited 3 min. It's so shinny and soft and my skalp is bit red but I think there is no speck of grease or dirt on it.
I have normal not oil not dry scalp, but my ends used to be extremely crunchy and dry. I would just do a big chop after a few months because of how dry they were my hair looked pretty bad. Then I changed my whole hair care routine and I tried wave tech shampoo, conditioner and the moisturizing wave tech leave in cream and Brad I owe you my hair’s life!!!! My hair ends aren’t crunchy anymore, I have some nice waves and good volume , my hair is so soft. Couldn’t have done it without your products! I’m never going back 😘
I have struggled w this for YEARS!! Once a month is too infrequent but every week reduces my volume considerably so a fortnight is seeming to be the happy medium
I usually have very dry hair and scalp. I rarely use shampoo at all- only conditioner. If I use shampoo it makes my scalp and ends even more crispy and dry. The only time I use it is if I've been sweating from work or mowing the lawn, etc... Do you know people who only use conditioner? I deep condition a couple of times a year. I did just get a jar of your Hydrify treatment and I'm excited to use it! I'm waiting for a bit because I just used your hair color masks- Super Purple and Super Pink. They leave my hair very soft and shiny, so I don't need the hydrating treatment yet. I can say I will never use another hair color again- only Xmondo for me from now on. I dunno what chemists you work with to make it, but they're keepers! haha!
What about colored hair? I’ve heard from all over (including my stylist) that you shouldn’t wash dyed hair more than once or twice a week at most to prevent fading faster, but I’m in the group where my hair starts to feel oily after 2-3 days, which would mean washing about three times a week. Do you have input on this? The same sources are also adamant about washing in cold water to prevent fading, but I tend to get cold easily so I usually go with lukewarm instead.
You could stretch your shampoos out by using dry shampoo in between. It's a balancing act for colored hair - yes, each time you wash it some of the color will be stripped out of your hair. Maybe try a color-tinted shampoo (it deposits a little bit of dye, like purple shampoo for blonde hair, but they make it for red, brown and even black dyed hair too). And yes, cold water keeps your cuticle from opening as much which is how the color leaves your hair shaft. Both of these result in you needing to decide on what's more important - getting an extra few weeks before recoloring vs having an oily scalp or freezing your butt off.
I used to wash my hair every other day until I started dyeing it and had to stop. It took maybe 2-3 weeks to get used to it but now I wash my hair once a week and it doesn’t overproduce oil anymore. Someone said dry shampoo but I can’t use that because it causes scalp irritation and then my hair gets 10x greasier. Maybe try wearing it in different styles when it starts to get oily and try to put off washing an extra day. I prefer twisting it close to my scalp on either side and pinning it because it worked when I had chin length hair and it works now with armpit length hair. I have circulation problems and relate to your aversion to cold water, lukewarm works perfectly fine for me. I also drink a ton of water and not really anything else and that’s helped my skin and hair be less greasy. I also rewet my hair to style it on occasion, without using any more products besides what’s already in it. Additionally, when I have bangs and face framing pieces I tend to spot wash those areas because they get oily faster and affect my acne. I hope you are able to find something that works!
I've been using a few drops of rosemary oil on my scalp when I shampoo (whenever it feels dirty) and I feel it works so great in keeping my scalp clean and keeps flakes at bay. I wonder what Brad's thoughts on rosemary oil?
Thank you so much for the tips Brad, that was actually SO helpful. Although I do feel like it’s incredibly personal. I tried washing twice or three times a week for 3 months but it didn’t work for me. My scalp is super oily and I have to wash it everyday (also because I work out everyday and my hair ends up WET in sweat). Also switching to only professional shampoo, conditioners, hair masks, oils and leave-ins was a major transformation to my hair.
Thanks for the great advice on oily scalps I've seen a lot of improvement using my new acne medicated shampoo and conditioner but I've washing my hair almost everyday and while it is a lot softer it's not as shiny so I'm gonna try and only wash it a couple days a week
I run almost everyday & I wash my hair twice a week. I have thick coarse hair & it’s hard maintaining the moisture in my ends. I’ll clean my brush more often because I notice that lint gets into my ends! Thank you for your insightful advice. I’ll do better
Not really related to this video but should I use curly hair shampoo on my naturally curly hair even though I straighten it? Also what products do you recommend for "aging" hair? Hair that is becoming more coarse because of age. Thanks! Love your videos 😁
Omg thank you for this Brad😭 it feels like my hair is all crazy sometimes! And congrats on over 8 million subs!!!😱🥳🙌🎉 You go wooooooo!!! But seriously, thank you soooooo much on all your great advice and tutorials ❤wouldn't know what to do without you❤
Hi Brad - so this is my issue and i appreciate you walking me through all the steps. My question is for the hair mask. When I start (never had one before) using your hair mask - HYDRIFY MAX INTENSITY HYDRATION TREATMENT - do I do the hair mask after I get out of the shower? Or should I use it on a random day after I soak my hair in water (on a non shampoo/conditioner?) - Thank you!
What i hate so much about this combination is that my hair are different depending on the day > shampoo day = normal scalp + dry mids and ends, day after = oily scalps and super soft and healthy mids and ends... So i really hope your advices will work on my hair :D
This came at literally just the right time because i have been doing SO MUCH GOOGLING on how to treat this!! The internet knows me 😭
Same! I've been so dissatisfied with my hair care recently because nothing seems to work! I didn't even know having a combination was possible until now!
Same!!!!!
Me to!!!! I even bought a clarifying shampoo!! Still have an oily scalp!😭😭
SAMEEEE

Came looking for this ❤
Exactly what I was checking someone noticed. I thought it was two times, told I was wrong and then told I was right 😂 I needed to check my sanity
Thank you! Late night getting baby down but really wanted to know!
thank you so much ❤
This generation of people are so lucky, I wish I had this information when I was young, my hair was awful out of ignorance. So glad to have found your channel I've learned so much about hair that I wish I had known 40 years ago.
Some times there'are too much bad info..an exemple..your hormones dont change if you dont clean and wash your hair..so..if its dirty and you have oily scalp you 'd better wash it so often you need..any tricology doctor can give you this advice..so..this video also have wrong news..😂
I'm so glad there is more consideration for us oily scalp people and we are no longer being told to not wash our hair for a week. To clarify, I tried that once. For a year. My hair looked so, so bad.
Video request:
1. Rating drugstore shampoos
2. Rating high end shampoo
3. Reviewing Costco hair care products
He has one rating some drug store shampoos
There is no product that works for everyone so these kinds of reviews are almost useless. Drugstore shampoos are not for my combination processed hair for sure.
I have tried Davines, Brae, Redken, Olaplex, Wow you name it. Some products works, some don't. I would refrain of using Davines 10 in 1 leave- in and their oil from the same OI series because it makes my hair greasier and heavier no matter how hard I rub before applying a tiny bit of it.
Olaplex 3 makes me want to switch to K18 or Redken 14.
Wow is a good coating, let's see how the Pureology leave-in works on my hair that is still porous and dry.
“Oily and dry… ew” i feel so attacked 😂😂
for curly girls, styling while sopping wet is ESSENTIAL
Came here to say the same. It depends on your hair texture, especially if you want to help prevent frizz.
I have never applied product when my hair is sopping wet. You just dilute it and need more product to get the same result. Of course, I have been styling my wavy hair since before the whole curly girl movement set up a ton of rules to follow. IMHO, some good, some unnecessary. Like squish to condish.
@@terrykobrenski4781 was that wavy hair? i said CURLY hair. we have thicker her and damp hair does not sleek on the products the way wet hair does. so if you feel a way because you feel you own waved hair or curly hair, you are barking up the wrong tree with that. i have 3c curly hair and those who know? knows. now maybe for your hair texture it works. but not on mine. thanks for stopping by tho.
I mean I have a pretty tight curl and I can do it damp or soaking wet. It all depends on my mood. Personally I don't towel dry at all, but if I let my hair sit for a while it becomes damp. It all depends on the desired end look. Disclaimer, when I style damp I don't get kore frizz
I have very frizz prone fine hair. If I try scrunching it when it’s only damp, I tend to get more frizz, even with great styling products. The point is, that everyone is different. What works or doesn’t work for you may work or not work for someone else.
I have learned i’m just an oily person, i am not built for clean girl silk hair aesthetic lol. i have tried every single method and my face and hair still becomes oily in the same day. oily girls unite 🥂
🍷cheers to us!
Yahh!! Count me too ....🥂
Same o can wash my hair at night and when I wake up it's oily again. I've tried going without washing but once a week for a long time to try and "regulate" but it never did
@@ambertunney96do what I did and look up bleaching your hair to combat grease. I bleach my hair every few months and dye over it. There is tons of threads about bleaching the grease out. Something about the oil not being able to hold to the follicle or something. Either way bc my hair is so greasy the bleach doesn’t bother it, and now I can go a few days without washing bc my hair is so much less oily! Desperate times!
@@tula1433 do you have any threads where we can look it up? thanks in advance
Brad! Can you PLEASE do a video on female hair thinning/loss? I have long hair and it used to be thick and now, at 30 and a stressful long relationship, it’s long still but I feel like there’s SO much fall out in the shower. It’s thinning a bit around the hairline. It still looks good when I style it, but I want to prevent any future loss.
Scalp is dry but no dandruff and I’ve tried so many shampoos. I’ve had luck with a rosemary oil scalp/hair treatment before using a rosemary shampoo/mask that I use twice a week. I’ve definitely noticed less fallout but idk help. Also I’m Italian, so..female hair thinning is pretty common. Haaaalp
Omg! I had this exact same thing happen. After I got out of my terrible and stressful relationship I realized that my hair had gotten so thin. I was so bad at self care and too depressed to do anything with my hair and seems like it's all gonna now. I was just looking at pics from when I was younger last night and I wanted to cry. I really wish there was something I could do to reverse it all together but it seems like this is how it is now. It's very upsetting
If your hair is thinning you should get your thyroid checked.
@@ErgmermergI agree with this. I have hashimotos thyroiditis and my hair is extremely dry, brittle, fragile and snaps at the root as well as falls out on clumps. It's just par for the course of autoimmune diseases 😢
Former hairdresser here, a lot of the time hair loss is actually an external symptom of something going on internally with hormones or deficiencies of essential things for your body, be it nutritional, environmental etc. In my clients if it hit in their 30s or 40s a lot of the time it was hormonal. It is definitely worth a chat with your doctor who can check and assess if everything is as it should be. The good news is, after these things are managed hair generally regrows well.
A hairdressing student here. I'm currently working in a salon, and there's been clients asking this exact thing, as the person above me mentioned it's probably a hormonal issue or some kind of imbalance, but one thing my mentor said is that you can try different treatments. It's not guaranteed they'll work or even do anything at all, but she always said that it's good to massage your scalp when you're washing your hair. That's sort only thing you can do externally, of that makes sense.
Brad is finally doing a video about this !!
Hi Brad, I’m a guy and just subscribed to your channel. I just wanted to say thank you for the positive upbeat energy you bring to every video. I’ve been going through some really hard times over the last few months especially and watching your videos always ends up putting a smile on my face. Oh, and that hair mask definitely seems like something I might need… I struggle with a dry scalp and flaking. Thanks again for your amazing content! 🙏🏼❤️✨
Also worth noting, there are medical causes for having an overly oily scalp (hormone imbalances for one), so it might be worth talking to your doctor if you are majorly struggling with an oily scalp.
(Sorry if Brad already mentioned this, I may have missed it.)
I agree!
Yes, my oily scalp happened after I stopped taking birth control
@@bdh711 Those darn androgens!
Thank you for saying this. Hair training doesn't work for everyone.
I’ve been waiting so long for your tips for oily scalps!!
thank you Brad for saving my hair from being shaved
🤔🤣
thank you brad for being so wholesome and coming on here to talk about things you’re passionate about, and to actually make a difference in our lives helping us. you’re always so mindful about providing many options for us when recommending products or giving advice and we all really appreciate you!! thank you for being so kind, informative and entertaining when teaching us. i remember discovering you 5 years ago binge watching all your videos while i was going through a rough time, relishing in the positivity of your little corner. i’m now an adult instead of a little 8th grader, and really considering going into cosmetology school for hair. remember your channel is a beacon of light in the social media world, and your videos do a lot more good than you may know❤️
i was genuinely in shock when i read the title, ive been waiting for this
Brad Mondo I am obsessed with your videos. I have just begun my haircare journey (only 34 years late to the party) I am educating myself through your videos and the only thing I wish is that I could buy your products in New Zealand. I honestly feel like I'm missing out.
Thank you Brad, for inspiring me to have fabulous hair styles and encouraging be to start taking hair care seriously. ❤
Top tier.
Since being pregnant, I know now (more than ever) it wasn't my 'haircare routine' that made my scalp oily, it's my hormones. I also notice it when it's the time of the month. So everyone that says: 'only wash your hair once or twice a week'... That's fun if you don't have the impact of your hormones. (; Now that I'm pregnant, I can finally do that. But before I had to wash my hair every other day.
It's weird how we want to think we're robots and can schedule things like that lol hormones control everything.
So true though, I took acne medication a few years ago that messed with my hormones and it was the least oily, least irritated and itchy my scalp has ever been. It returned to oily and itchy once I stopped taking the med.
All those that follow all of these rules, have for years and still have the same issue say ‘I’
Once I started shampooing twice and washing upside down my scalp go SO much happier!
Love the reference to Blowout Professor! Following both of you has transformed my hair and style with your amazing info and tutorials.
I got Hydraglow for my birthday (shampoo+condition+conditioning spray). My ends haven't felt that soft in SO LONG. So definitely a good pick if you're in the same boat as I am, which is the one Brad discusses in this video :)
Hi! Hydra glow , by Pantene?
As a hairdresser in training, I love these Videos
If only you had released this video yesterday. I have combo hair and just got soooo frustrated with the dry ends that I chopped off 80% of the length of my hair. 😂😂 Thank goodness it grows back.
I shampoo when I feel dirty. It fluctuates for me. Sometimes twice and some times once a week.
Brad's knowledge keeps growing. It's really cool to see. I remember watching his old video about how wash hair. The main takeaway here of new information is how much shampoo to use. In his old video he said use a dime size amount and I never saw that as enough product. I lose my suds near the ears and have to go in for more. I can get away with about a nickle sized amount for the front and back and then I need more for the sides.
I am glad I came to your class, too. I love getting to learn from you. I don't do my hair. I pay my hair stylist to do it. She gives me a blowout twice a week. After some testing, I discovered that 2 washes a week does well for my hair. She always starts by exfoliating my scalp before washing it, and then goes and washes it twice. She does a really good job taking care of it and keeping it healthy. And because I don't want to ruin anything she did, I try to touch it as least as possible.
Omg! You just wrote a happy ending to my horror story and I'm really happy to know the steps I've been taken so far were the right ones. Long story short, I moved to Japan. Before, I had perfect, soft, shinny wavy hair without doing anything special. In Japan, I noticed it started to get freezy and dry. After the feather like softness gone then the snow fall started until I scratched my scalp once and a chunck of... Dead skin I guess I don't even want to know.... Fell off. I started losing bunch of hair and everything I was trying didn't work... Shampoo frequency, changing brands, etc. That was until I heard in a banal discution that the tap water in Japan was STRONG as hell. A lot of minerals and other stuffs I don't remember the name was inside. I got myself a filter shower and DAMN that helped a lot! Second thing was the ingredients in the shampoo. Asians tend to have very thick and strong hair so the ingredients in the shampoo is different from the Canadian one, even the same brand. I tried very expensive shampoo from Japan and I finally had to find my soul-shampoo/cond. On Amazon.
In the procress, I lost half of my hair. I was applying my c conditioner in the shower and it was falling off like bleach fail. I thought at some point I had contracted some kind of desease but since I got my filter head shower and my soul-shampoo/cond. I see some growing going on! My hair falls to my lower back and I'm always getting a hair cut in Japan, so it's really even (no big layers) everytimes I wake up, I see these little growing crazy fellows sticking out of my night braid 😂 but I'm so happy to see them!
My hair is doing good but my scalp still have issues, very dry and stuff so I wanted to use a scalp mask or something. I've never tried it so I don't really know what to use, but we'll see!
Thank you for saving everyone's hair! I love your videos! You're always so sweet ❤
Wow that's crazy, I found the water in South Korea made my hair way better.
@@chapmau maybe they treat the water in a different way, or maybe your type of hair feels better with the strong water, you're so lucky 🥲
@@marilougagne3095 idk I lived in an apartment building.
Try a scalp serum and oil
FINALLY BRAD! I've just needed this for the last 20 years lol, thanks!
Another day that got better since Brad Monday just called me beautiful ❤😂
YES, cleaning your hair brushes are essential. I never realized this up until this past year. I clean mine every 2 weeks, if not sooner if using a lot of product, I clean the hair out, use a small tub or big bowl, hot water, dawn dish soap, and vinegar, then let them sit for a bit, swish them, massage them to clean them, take them out run under hot water . It also makes my hair brushes last alot longer, as well as your combs. Its amazing what you see in the water after.....so YES clean your brushes.....
I have very fine, thin hair that gets oily VERY quickly. I’ve tried the training method twice (once for months and this time it’s been over a year) and it doesn’t get any less oily for me 🤷🏻♀️
ofc it doesn't! what he says about "hair training" is a bunch of bs. please listen to an actual expert on this topic, like a dermatologist or a trichologist, not a hair stylist.
Some people are just oily people and no amount of shampoo or no shampoo can help that. I'm very oily, my face is also very oily. I tried all of these things but nothing helped, it's just the way my skin is. Somehow these people who make TH-cam videos never address that lmao.
same! for years i've tried "training" my hair so many times for so long but it just never worked. as @Nikki-rx8ri i also have very oily skin, all over. because its just the way our skin is no matter what we do our hair will always get oily. its internal.
I have the same issue. What completely helped me is using volumizing shampoo and hydrating conditioner. Leave conditioner in while scrubbing the shampoo in with a scalp scrubber. Then wash it out from scalp to ends. Then go in once more with the shampoo all over to get out whatever conditioner didn’t get soaked in off my hair and wash it off immediately so it doesn’t dry it out too much. One thing that I noticed helps tremendous is do a cold water rinse afterwards to close up all the pores and follicles.
Then I use a volumizing foam on my scalp (not too much) and Paul Mitchell’s serum on the ends. Use a wet brush and dry my hair in sections plus upside down.
Using this method I can sometimes go 2-3 weeks without washing my hair. And I used to have to wash it EVERY day because it got so oily so damn fast.
Try a boar hair bristle brush, it really does take 100 strokes to move the oil from your scalp all the way down your hair but it's totally worth it!
I have always kept my conditioner in my hair while washing my body. For as long as i can remember lol
Me too, it’s just instinct
I remember being very little (4, maybe) and my mom bathing me in the tub. She’d put conditioner on my long hair and would always clip it real quick while I bathed myself, telling me to not wash it out of my hair until I was ready to get out and dry off. That carried with me through my teens and into adulthood lol … I still clip it back if it’s long enough and wait until I’m ready to get out to rinse it. My hair would always be detangled and free of tatting/knots.
She also stressed the importance of not washing hair with warm/hot water (which is a bummer as I love hot showers). Helps it feel so smooth and healthy.
This video was SO helpful! And the test was brilliant! Whoever came up with that idea... KUDOS! Brad, you have such an electric and genuine personality. I didn't know I was doing so many things wrong but will definitely follow these tips so my hair gets healthier and looks better. Thank you!
I did not have a pen and paper at the beginning of the video and 3mins in, I’m here scrabbling to take notes. Help me, Brad, help this hair ✨✨ much love! 💖
thank you, this has helped me understand my hair so much better. i appreciate you and your context a lot, never stop being you ❤
I started a retail job with salon centric back in July I am so new to hair but I have been obsessed with you and your videos for years even before working in the industry! Even though I only work retail, i am always trying to gain info from the customers that come in and on the products they buy! You are always my go to and have given me inspiration to go back to school for it! The way you break stuff down for a beginner to learn and grow from your knowledge! I have never been a girly girl ever since just selling products to stylists, I never realized how much goes into it! The science, the creativity!!!! Cosmetology all around is pure art!
Did I mention you are absolutely gorgeous and adorable Ty for educating and sharing your talent!
@Bradmondo
As someone who has hereditary oily hair with dry ends, me knowing it's hereditary due to that fact my grandfather slept on a towel over his pillow and plastic under his pillow case. I appreciate that not only did i get 9/10 questions right. But i wasn't crazy or wrong like people told me when i said i need a clarifying shampoo on my roots and to use a super creamy conditioner for my ends. Instead of the standard oily hair shampoo and conditioner combo that never worked. The only thing that sucks is i know all this and still have it so oily that i end up only not being an oil slick incarnate when i wash everyday. But still appreciate the not feeling dumb and crazy part, so thanks!
I have a few questions, for people in the comments and Brad 😅
1. Should you use a detangle/wet brush to evenly distribute the conditioner throughout the lengths of your hair?
2. Do you have a video on dry scalp/dandruff? I have dandruff, top of my head gets greasy after a couple days, and I have dry ends 🙄 It does my head in. I use Head and Shoulders but I'm not sure if it's the right shampoo for my hair type 🤷♀️ Any information would be helpful, thank you.
3. I'm disabled and using my fingers too much makes my hands fatigued and weak. Could I benefit from using a shampoo brush/scalp massager instead?
4. Does anyone know if Brad (or someone else) has a video on how much shampoo and conditioner you should use for different hair lengths?
Love your videos Brad, I watch clips everyday, thanks for sharing 😊
I have dry scalp as well, and it bugs me so much. I also use Head and Shoulders (it’s the combo of shampoo and conditioner), but I always felt like my hair was very dry after I was all done washing it and everything. So I started using another conditioner as well just on my middles and ends, and it’s been a night and day difference.
I think a scalp massager could work very well for you, I have actually been thinking about getting one as well since I’ve heard lots of good things about them.
Thank you Brad for showing us how to take care of our hair PROPERLY 😄
Another thing to pay attention to; how your hair feels when it's wet. A lot of problems can be diagnosed when your hair is wet.
If it feels like dry grass clippings, it's seriously dried out. That's when you need a deep moisturizing mask, and a better every wash day conditioner.
If it feels more like cooked spaghetti, it is protein-depleted. You need a mega-protein treatment. And, you should use a leave-in with protein.
If it feels like slime when it's wet, there's no coming back to healthy hair. You can't fix it with anything that is applied to the surface of the hair. It's truly "dead" hair, and needs to be cut off.
Healthy hair can also feel slimy when completely saturated with water and detangled.
@@songbirdyy After detangling with conditioner, yes. But not just water wet.
I had my hands in thousands of people's hair. I don't remember healthy hair ever feeling slimy with nothing on the hair.
How does normal healthy hair feel when its just wet?
@@svenbengtsson9753 The best way to describe what normal, healthy hair should feel like, is to say - Touch the untreated hair at your scalp. Seriously, you just rub your fingers into your hair right after you shampoo and rinse. It should feel smooth and firm, and you should be able to discern individual strands when you rub it between your fingers.
Hair that is slightly rougher feeling at mid-stand is normal. As is the very ends of very long hair. It's completely normal to lose a bit of internal moisture and protein once your hair reaches about 12 inches or so. But if it starts feeling brittle or stiff when wet, it needs more than a simple conditioner.
Hey! So if you have oily hair after following Brads video PLEASE make sure you are using the correct shampoo. If your shampoo has any OILS in it THROW IT OUT! like Brad said, purchase a clarifying shampoo or one that says Volume on it. When you go to apply your leave in conditioner and heat protection do it on ur damp hair. Then after you blow dry and style ur hair then put on ur hair oil on ur ends only. Secondly, when it’s time for your next shower and you wanna skip washing ur hair USE A SHOWER CAP! I know it’s not the cutest look but the water is going to make ur hair frizzy and the humidity so that should help as well. Ooh ANDDD PURCHASE A SATIN BONNET or satin pillow cases. This will also help with the frizz control and help less hair fall out.
Third, instead of using dry shampoo use cornstarch or coco powder or baking soda and rub it in on ur scalp ( you can use a cheap makeup brush too ). Make sure to clean ur hair brush as well like Brad said.
If you’re trying to get long hair just be patient .. you can take biotin vitamins or prenatal vitamins but honestly patience and a good hair routine is key. Hope this helps
Love your videos Brad Mondo. I have learned so much from you. I also learned so much from the Blowout Professor and I think it would be so awesome for the two of you to do some videos together and/or even do a video on shampoo bars. I specifically use Viori Bars and they have different bars according to hair type and I absolutely love them. They even started selling them in Sephora stores now. Thanks so much for sharing all your hair knowledge!!
Oh my! You are my life saver! I moved to a place that has the hardest water of any place I've lived. It has affected my hair, my skin, and in so many ways that I never knew water could! Now i need to brave up and cut some of my hair off and start fresh!! ❤❤
I have such thin hair that gets both oily and frizzy at the same time. It's so frustrating. Thank you for the advice and encouragement! I really needed it today.
I just want to thank you for this video. I've been struggling with my hair being dry but scalp being oily. I used the advice in this video (well, I use all your advice when it comes to hair, really) and it's been 3 days since I've washed my hair and it's not oily!!
YAY! I have figured out a lot of these through trial and error and am so thankful to have confirmation I’m doing it right!!
Brad when are your hair care products gonna launch at Sally’s? I picked up your super gloss and I love how soft it made my hair feel. I’m gonna order wave tech since I’ve been living my wavy hair life. Please launch your hair care at Sally’s because I’m too impatient to wait for shipping. Love your hair it’s giving HANDSOME vibes. Love you beautiful 😗❤
I know that this video is about the basics (& I have happy healthy naturally curly hair), but I still think it’s fab & super helpful! For example, I just learned that I’m overdoing hair masks on the reg. That’s why my hair gets weighed down. Thanks Brad, I’m gonna use more regular conditioner more noe too. 😊
My mom always told me that you was your scalp & condition your hair. Best advice I ever got.
As someone who used to shampoo and condition everyday as a kid and teen with Pantene my hair was so oily and gross… then I switched to lush shampoo and conditioner and can go every other day and my hair has never been happier and healthier
I trained my hair to go 1-2 weeks without washing, I also brush the oils through my hair to help it, It took a while to train my oily scalp but happy i didnt give up was tired of washing my hair every 3 days
What did you do? 3 days would already be a long stretch for me - if i dont need to see people (which is more regular) i dont wash it, but its oily 24h after washing it, no matter how long i try to not wash it more than once per week
@@Kenzi0815 this might sound gross but I left my hair alone , i didnt wash it for as long as i could, i would only ever wash my hair when i would see people , it just takes time to train your hair, Its like training your fringe to sit on the side
I also only wash my hair every 10-15 days after a while of training
Thank you Brad !!
Your products sound amazing, I hope to try them someday !
If you ever get enough demand, I would love to hear about tips for really fine hair. I have alopecia and the hair I still have on my head is really thin. Making it look like I still have a full head of hair is a struggle !
It’s crazy I was looking at videos to help with this exact issue earlier morning! Thank you Brad for being here when I need you
Dear Brad,
I love your videos, you're one of my all-time favorite creators. I even use your products, because they absolutely SLAP!
My problem is this: My hair is thin, wavy most days, naturally, and curly when I use products.
Because of it being thin, it's not incredibly long, either. And I've looked FOREVER to find a good tutorial for a shorter thinner hair.
I'm dying to give myself a good haircut (I've been cutting my own hair most of my life) but with my hair thinning out since I've hit 40, I've struggled to want to cut it but not having a good guide or idea of how to do it.
(I'd love to do the butterfly cut, but my hair's too short to pull it all to the front and be able to cut more than an inch away from my face) Edit: As of 10/22/23 I've done the butterfly cut, and it's super cute!
Can we please have a tutorial for those of us that have thinner hair, or would love to rock a shorter style?
Much Love,
The Lady Wolf
Thanks for all of these wonderful tips, you are THAT friend everyone needs💕
THANK YOU BRAD. I have been struggling with this for my whole life. I cant thank you enough 💛
Omg! Thank you so much for this! I have a SUPER oily scalp and my hair is super dead! Thanks for letting me know how to do this! ❤
I went to Sally’s I live in Connecticut and I got your pink hair dye and I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love it I got so many compliments at work and it was the perfect amount of pink for me I have light brown hairAnd it was absolutely the perfect shade of pink. Thank you babes❤
this video seriously is a life saver. i just washed my hair right before this but ill definitely have to try this next time !!
Trying to regrow my super long hair after shaving my head during quarantine and I need to start a hair routine to go longer between trims! Thank you!

Thanks so much for these tips. My scalp has been itchy and feeling crap. You have just put the writing on the wall why this is. So thank you for helping us x
Oh God! I love you for this. I've been suffering for years and I tried everything like EVERYTHING to fix it and nothing works. ❤❤
I’ve been waiting a long while for this video. Thank you so much… but also… this look on you!!!!!! Fenomenal ❤❤❤
Once I've washed & dried my hair, it feels so lovely, that's when I start touching it, running my fingers through it, thanks Brad, I'm making it oily again ❤
What if the oil is EVERY DAY! and it’s not like it looks slightly oily. But it looks like you haven’t washed it in a month!
Like it's oily after you get out of the shower and let it dry? Or after several hours?
- Use a strong “clarifying” shampoo that will detox and strip the excess oil from your hair
- Dry shampoo/baby powder in between hair wash days (bonus tip: it makes your hair fluffy and voluminous)
- Drink 3-4L of water every day
- Try consulting a dermatologist to understand why your skin/hair is too oily
- Sleep on a silk pillow case and wash/change it every 2-3 days.
@@bethg7026 within a few hours (this isn’t my hair but my moms. I was looking into something for her and who else but Brad!) she has to wash her hair EVERY DAY bc she will wash it in the morning and the very next day/ morning it’s oily again. She doesn’t like to wash her hair everyday but she doesn’t like her hair looking greasy. She has very fine and thin hair so this doesn’t help
She may be using a shampoo that is too harsh for her scalp. Try a gentler one and in between days use dry shampoo to get rid of the greasy look.
If you use a very strong detox shampoo, your scalp will over compensate and produce sebum. It’s a vicious circle which you need to break. It’s better to shampoo more frequently, with a mild shampoo.
Another tip: you can also tell if your hair is clean is after shampooing when you squeeze the excess water out and it has that squeaky feeling, then you’re ready to apply the conditioner.
I need more care videos, these are AMAZING
I just love you. Your energy, honesty and information you provide is refreshing. ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you, Brad Mondo🎉
Growing up my mom would make me wash my hair EVERYDAY and it was horrible for me! My hair looked like I NEVER washed it because of how oily it was, I got made fun of constantly! In highschool I started washing it only once a week and now (in my 30s) I only wash it once every week and a half to two weeks and my hair has honestly never looked better and more healthy
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
Just poking in to say this (oily scalp and dry ends - especially tangled dry hair on the neck) is also linked to a (slight ) thyroid disfunction.
Complementing with sea weeds (by mouth) does help a lot.
bros saved my life with that cleaning scalp w nails bc im always doing this though it was cleaning it properly... good to now that bro
This video really saved my life! Thank you so much! I just wanted to know if Elvive is a good affordable brand to use (I live in South Africa) If not, what brand would you recommend? 😄💕
Thanks Brad 💕 Any advice for frizzy roots? 🙈 I thought adding product there would help tame it, but then it just gets oily faster too... It doesn't seem to matter whether I let it scrunch & airdry with curl products, or blowout or even straighten; there's always this fluffy hair at the roots 😭
omg i hope he talks about this i have the same problem.
I just bought a bamboo brush and a microfiber towel because i read that it can helps with frizz but that's all I know so a video from Brad about frizzy hair would be really useful
Ouidad hair products!!!
SAME. My roots will be frizzy, my ends silky soft. And hydrating products make my roots oily 😭
You might be using too strong of a shampoo or you have a lot of breakage that's growing out.
Hi brad mondo (; I love u n I love watching u it is so calming n makes me happy
Been learning what I can from beauty videos in general. I do use drugstore shampoos and conditioners, BUT, I use the "mid-range" stuff. You can even look up which brands or products are sulfate free, which doesn't strip the hair as badly. It does take a little extra time to lather, but it's worth it. And they tend to have other ingredients that really help as well.
Some of my personal favorites are OGX (especially the ones with coconut ingredients), and Aveeno (usually prefer the fuchsia bottles for this one, with blackberry and proteins).
Some others I've experimented with were:
The "ever pure" line from L'oreal; these are also sulfate free, but they didn't seem to provide as many benefits for my hair.
The "whole blends" line from Garnier; I'd rank this right up there with OGX and Aveeno, although the standard line is NOT sulfate free. But, even in spite of that, they seem to benefit my hair almost as much as the others, due to the added ingredients. Really loved the golden colored, honey based one, which was great for helping my hair recover during winter.
Hope this helps anyone else looking for decent products that won't break the bank!
Thank you Brad Mondo. My hair was never better. My greasy hair with dry ends was treated by clay shampoo, I massaged my skalp twice with shampoo and then applied mask and waited 3 min. It's so shinny and soft and my skalp is bit red but I think there is no speck of grease or dirt on it.
I have normal not oil not dry scalp, but my ends used to be extremely crunchy and dry. I would just do a big chop after a few months because of how dry they were my hair looked pretty bad. Then I changed my whole hair care routine and I tried wave tech shampoo, conditioner and the moisturizing wave tech leave in cream and Brad I owe you my hair’s life!!!! My hair ends aren’t crunchy anymore, I have some nice waves and good volume , my hair is so soft. Couldn’t have done it without your products! I’m never going back 😘
I have struggled w this for YEARS!! Once a month is too infrequent but every week reduces my volume considerably so a fortnight is seeming to be the happy medium
Really liked this video, Brad. Very informative.
I'm a soap & water kinda guy...that's it. I scored 1 - but it was a lucky guess. I decided to grow my hair and I'll be taking this advice. Thanks.
I usually have very dry hair and scalp. I rarely use shampoo at all- only conditioner. If I use shampoo it makes my scalp and ends even more crispy and dry. The only time I use it is if I've been sweating from work or mowing the lawn, etc... Do you know people who only use conditioner? I deep condition a couple of times a year. I did just get a jar of your Hydrify treatment and I'm excited to use it! I'm waiting for a bit because I just used your hair color masks- Super Purple and Super Pink. They leave my hair very soft and shiny, so I don't need the hydrating treatment yet. I can say I will never use another hair color again- only Xmondo for me from now on. I dunno what chemists you work with to make it, but they're keepers! haha!
Thank you so much Brad for going through this in so many details! Gotta love you ❤
What about colored hair? I’ve heard from all over (including my stylist) that you shouldn’t wash dyed hair more than once or twice a week at most to prevent fading faster, but I’m in the group where my hair starts to feel oily after 2-3 days, which would mean washing about three times a week. Do you have input on this?
The same sources are also adamant about washing in cold water to prevent fading, but I tend to get cold easily so I usually go with lukewarm instead.
You could stretch your shampoos out by using dry shampoo in between. It's a balancing act for colored hair - yes, each time you wash it some of the color will be stripped out of your hair. Maybe try a color-tinted shampoo (it deposits a little bit of dye, like purple shampoo for blonde hair, but they make it for red, brown and even black dyed hair too). And yes, cold water keeps your cuticle from opening as much which is how the color leaves your hair shaft. Both of these result in you needing to decide on what's more important - getting an extra few weeks before recoloring vs having an oily scalp or freezing your butt off.
I used to wash my hair every other day until I started dyeing it and had to stop. It took maybe 2-3 weeks to get used to it but now I wash my hair once a week and it doesn’t overproduce oil anymore. Someone said dry shampoo but I can’t use that because it causes scalp irritation and then my hair gets 10x greasier.
Maybe try wearing it in different styles when it starts to get oily and try to put off washing an extra day. I prefer twisting it close to my scalp on either side and pinning it because it worked when I had chin length hair and it works now with armpit length hair. I have circulation problems and relate to your aversion to cold water, lukewarm works perfectly fine for me. I also drink a ton of water and not really anything else and that’s helped my skin and hair be less greasy. I also rewet my hair to style it on occasion, without using any more products besides what’s already in it. Additionally, when I have bangs and face framing pieces I tend to spot wash those areas because they get oily faster and affect my acne. I hope you are able to find something that works!
This literally popped up right after I did my hair care routine! Which just so happened to include the Xmondo Recalibrate and A3 Hair Mask! ❤
I've been using a few drops of rosemary oil on my scalp when I shampoo (whenever it feels dirty) and I feel it works so great in keeping my scalp clean and keeps flakes at bay. I wonder what Brad's thoughts on rosemary oil?
Do you mix it with your shampoo ?
yes! @@svenbengtsson9753
Thank you so much for the tips Brad, that was actually SO helpful. Although I do feel like it’s incredibly personal. I tried washing twice or three times a week for 3 months but it didn’t work for me. My scalp is super oily and I have to wash it everyday (also because I work out everyday and my hair ends up WET in sweat). Also switching to only professional shampoo, conditioners, hair masks, oils and leave-ins was a major transformation to my hair.
If I don’t wash my hair for over 24 hours, I look like I live on the streets 🙉
😂😂
After having my child this is my hair now! Something in my hormones changed my hair for the worse! I'll have to try some of these methods.
Investing in a water softener may also be an additional solution. Gotta have water for any of what Brad suggests to work properly.
Thanks for the great advice on oily scalps I've seen a lot of improvement using my new acne medicated shampoo and conditioner but I've washing my hair almost everyday and while it is a lot softer it's not as shiny so I'm gonna try and only wash it a couple days a week
I run almost everyday & I wash my hair twice a week. I have thick coarse hair & it’s hard maintaining the moisture in my ends. I’ll clean my brush more often because I notice that lint gets into my ends! Thank you for your insightful advice. I’ll do better
You explain everything so good and I love that!! Thank you so much for the tips. Keep going with that great work pleeasee
Needed this video, I never knew how to fix this issue with my hair!
Not really related to this video but should I use curly hair shampoo on my naturally curly hair even though I straighten it? Also what products do you recommend for "aging" hair? Hair that is becoming more coarse because of age. Thanks! Love your videos 😁
I HIGHLY recommend Vunella shampoo and conditioner bars!! They're not too expensive and they have good ingredients and they work really well!!!
Can you make one of these videos but for wavy/curly hair??? 🫣🤍🫶🏼
Omg thank you for this Brad😭 it feels like my hair is all crazy sometimes! And congrats on over 8 million subs!!!😱🥳🙌🎉 You go wooooooo!!! But seriously, thank you soooooo much on all your great advice and tutorials ❤wouldn't know what to do without you❤
Hi Brad - so this is my issue and i appreciate you walking me through all the steps. My question is for the hair mask. When I start (never had one before) using your hair mask - HYDRIFY MAX INTENSITY
HYDRATION TREATMENT - do I do the hair mask after I get out of the shower? Or should I use it on a random day after I soak my hair in water (on a non shampoo/conditioner?) - Thank you!
What i hate so much about this combination is that my hair are different depending on the day > shampoo day = normal scalp + dry mids and ends, day after = oily scalps and super soft and healthy mids and ends... So i really hope your advices will work on my hair :D
