1. Have a clean brush 2. Use a heat protectant 3. Use invisibobble or scrunchies instead of elastics/bands with metal wiring (?) 4. dont dry your hair with a towel washing-machine style, press the towel in instead 5. Detangle your hair with a brush with flexible bristles 6. Have leave in conditioner to help detangling (not treatment, serum etc.) 7. Don’t sleep with wet hair too often 8. Use a shower cap (terry cloth liner) if you're not washing your hair in the shower 9. Have a hair mask - healthy hair, once a month - damaged hair, once a week - in the middle, every 2 weeks 10. Shampoo the right way - only on your scalp, never on your ends
I’m a fellow hairstylist and I’ll be honest, when I first clicked your video I was thinking it was gonna be another video filled with common sense stuff I already know. But actually. You’re a genius and gave me a TON of great advice to pass along to my guests!! THANK YOU!
1. Washing hair every day 2. Using old, unclean brush 3. Believing Some hot tools do less demage 4. Using the Wrong hair ties 5. Drying hair with towel 6. Detangeling with a comp 7. Detangeling nicked hair 8. Sleeping with Wet hair 9. Showering without protection 10. Never using hair mask 11. Using shampoo the Wrong way You Are welcome
@@l.Marissa.l Why are you so offended lmao. Finger combing is also a very real thing in the curly hair community, it essentially just boils down to personal preference and what your own hair likes more.
I genuinely came to this video expecting to be told "You're doing your hair wrong, buy these 5 items, they're all 50 bucks" and that wasn't what I got. They're actually very good tips. Not everyone can afford to spend all that money on hair care.I can't, I can make use of all of these tips. Thank you!
I love the leave-in spray that he mentioned. It's $30 or so and I figure that if it's good for my hair, it's worth it. I noticed a huge difference in my hair after using it after washing before brushing and styling. ❤
@@hollyc.691use once after washing hairs or every time before brushing please clear my query regarding leave in conditioner spray also after shampooing you just use his recommended leave in conditioner or adding something else?
@@hollyc.691 I am SO sorry it took me so long to get back to you, youtube is terrible at notifying me of replies til weeks later. I am gonna try it. I don't have the patience for like 5 steps in my hair. It's not thick hair but I have so much of it. I have literally never gotten a haircut without a comment on how much hair I have and how long it takes, and, not only that, but it's curly and I don't produce literally any oil. I need products that fulfill multiple jobs and leave-in products are my holy grail.
@@anamsandhu12 I would co wash my hair (curly hair, if you have hair that benefits shampoo, I would shampoo and condition it) and then leave it to air dry, I'll use t-shirt after washing and leave it to air dry. Style after dry. If you use heat, use a heat protectant.
@@EdwardoLover so I recently started watching this guy and I was able to get some of these products, but I still have a question. I take showers at night and I also let it air dry. The only routine I've ever heard of was just shampoo and conditioner but now I'm gonna use the trinity route, so after I shower and spray in the leave in conditioner do I let it air dry fully then add the oil? Or should I blow dry it (without heat protectant I'll buy that soon) and once the ends are dry then I add the oil? I never style my hair I either go with braids or loose bun.
Dermatologists say to wash your hair as often as you need. Every head is different. Some people are super athletic or have gross jobs and need to wash daily. Others can go days.
I’m a daily washer because I have scalp issues that are made better with daily washing. My hair is also very thick and healthy, and I have no problems growing it long.
My hair has gotten so much softer and thicker with washing daily. I always used to follow the rule “leave it till once a week” etc and tbh it did nothing but damage my hair. A dirty scalp isn’t going to produce good growth, pretty logical really
I experienced COVID that lasted around 10 days. At first, I believed I was fine but I started to lose more hair than normal. Following some research, I am realizing it’s from the stress my body went through during that time period and also the shampoo that I was using. So I started doing meditation, yoga everyday and changed my shampoo and conditioner to littleextrraa coooconion anti hair fall kit. And now I don't face any hairfall. Thanks for this video! I feel so much better.
Just placed my second order for Littlllextra Cocoonion hair oil and shampoo. I absolutely love it. Since I started applying it, I experienced visible hair growth.
I have waist length straight hair that likes to get tangled after washing it, and I NEVER understood why everyone at my salon was hell bent on combing my wet hair instead of using a brush! I can FEEL all the hair that's getting ripped out, and they struggle like hell, but when I use a wet brush, it only takes a few strokes to get through it. Why do so many salons still use such a damaging method for getting through tangled wet hair?
I can’t stand it either! It’s old school in my mind that needs to be changed. I’m not sure if you have spoken up about it before the the hair stylist? I just tell them that I will be doing the brushing of my hair after it’s been washed. Sometimes I blow dry my own hair too bc I rather do it myself they having it messed it lol I have long fine hair too that tangles easily, I felt your pain on this 😹💕
@@adriana27100 you have inspired me to speak up at my salon! I'm planning on getting a trim soon, and I am bringing my wet brush with me, and if they don't like it, they can find another client! You've convinced me to be brave, and my hair will thank you for it!
Another option is to have at least 2 hair brushes that would be used Before and After Shampooing your hair to avoid dirt, oil, dandruff and build up from the same hair brush transferring onto clean hair. That makes a lot difference too.
This is what I do! I have ones I use shortly after washing on wet hair. I rinse them after every time I use them so they stay clean. Then I have ones I use on dry hair, which get dirtier. It really helps to keep them separate!
Thanks mom for making me clean my combs and brushes after each time I used them. I took it for granted that everyone did that. Hair wash day was always once a week. Now I know why I've never had to wash my hair every day.
@@krgxo some people genuinely do have to wash every other day but dry shampoo can really help add an extra days worth of style. Then you’ll be at 3 days between washes!
My Nana taught me when I was a wee one. I have been cleaning brushes twice a month since then. I inherited my Great Nana’s hairbrush that she received in the late 1880’s! It’s still in excellent condition.
I’m blown away (pun intended!) by how helpful and educational this video is. I’m a guy who’s kept my hair long for about a decade now. My hair is super duper thick. When it dries out too much it becomes embarrassingly wild and unruly. You’ve just enlightened some possible mistakes I’m needing to rectify - especially the properly shampooing bit. Bless you 🙏 ❤
I'm a guy w long hair is what made me smile. Looooove long hair on a man! So sexy! And dont c it nearly enuf! Keep those long locks sweetie. Some of us appreciate it immensely😉
@@donkeyballs3307 I found that the kryptonite for my hair was the bad water quality - our water was chlorinated. We moved and are on well water now. There's sulfur in it, which we filter out for drinking but otherwise it does wonders for my skin and hair. I wash my hair with moderately hot water, shower temperature, and have no issues. As a matter of fact, I've started to have to cut my hair once a year, when before it wouldn't grow past my waist. For reference, I'm in my fifties, so ... yeah, my hair suddenly grows like a teenager's.
My tip is when brushing hair start a few inches from the bottom then go higher up towards the head with each stroke, so if there’s a tangle, you aren’t ripping it down the whole length of your hair
I would like to see a video from you with advice on how to deal with hard water damage for people that live in areas with hard water coming out of their shower.
I had the same issue. I took a chance and bought ION Hard Water Shampoo and Conditioner. I only used it once so far, but I felt an immediate difference in my hair.
I hate invisi bobbles! I still get the kink and it doesn’t hold my hair in a pony well. Plus it feels horrible and tugs on the hair when removing. Much prefer a scrunchie. Gives volume and a bigger bun too when wearing up.
I also wanted to add that I tried the “Invisibobble” and it also ripped out my hair for some reason. Maybe because my hair is super thick. So I immediately stopped and threw them all away. Now I stick to mostly big silk scrunchies and the thick black hair bands.
I really like the pantihose ones. I've never tried the invisibobble so can't compare. I don't like scrunchies (reminds me of my very awkward pre-teen years).
I believe it’s because of how it was manufactured, it’s coiled/spiral shape causes the hair to get easily entangled within it, to the point where it can easily get ripped out if one isn’t careful taking it off.
I’ve had the same experience. I have fine, bleached hair and I’ve found that the Scunci no damage hair ties work well. They don’t slide out of my hair as easily because I can wrap them numerous times. Also, when they stretch out, you can throw them in the washer with your clothes and they go back to normal size. Because my hair is so fine and slick, scrunchies slip out. These have been a lifesaver.
My mom told me a lot of this stuff when I was younger. I went through a rebel phase and cut it off, dyed the crap out of it too, but now that I'm older, wiser, and have hair down past my butt, I can concur. This advise he says will save you from spending hundreds on hair products fixing past mistakes. It's also nice getting compliments from strangers. People will look up to you if you have a well groomed mane. :)
I came into this video expecting it to not apply to my Dominican hair but a lot of these are things we already do, and honestly I forgot about using hair masks. I’m glad I can incorporate that into my routine. I’ll also add this is why so many block people wrap our hair up at night to help prevent breakage, damage to the style or curls and it also keeps your pillows clean bc you don’t have to sleep on your hair making your face and pillow dirtier
Do you have suggestions for swimmers? Wearing a swimcap isn’t always the answer and hair is going to get wet. What advice do you have when hair gets wet almost daily? If you could do a video to answer this dilemma, it would be much appreciated! Love your hair advice overall!
Put conditioner or a leave in mask on your hair before swimming, and put it in a protective style like a braid where it doesn’t get as knotted as easily. Obviously try to wear swim cap and limit exposure to water. When you shower use a hair mask and shampoo and conditioner that are moisturizing. You can try hair oiling too. Oil is hydrophobic while water is hydrophilic so the oil repels water molecules
I've heard you should wet all your hair first in cold water as dry hair soaks up all the chlorine or other pool water like salt water, then put some conditioner on it then your cap
I'd love to see you hair gurus talking about how much iron and low iron messes up your hair. 1 in 4 women have low iron, and it leads to dull dry hair or hair loss. I saw a dermatologist and he recommended supplements to get my ferritin to over 80 to regrow hair I lost from being anemic. Made a massive difference in hair regrowth, rehydrating it AND it improved the texture too! other nutrient deficiencies can massively affect your hair.
@@beabrandy any iron supplement. In Canada you can get Feramax which is awesome and easy on the stomach! I would recommend blood work to get your ferritin level checked. 80-100 is optimal for women and excellent health overall (my dermatologist recommended 90-100 for optimal hair regrowth). It took me 2 years of taking daily supplements to get from 27-80.
Just found your videos and devoured so many of them. Bought the products and followed your system. Went four days between washes for the first time ever! I have fine, highlighted, aging hair and have always washed daily. No more! My husband hates the sleeping bonnet but he is just going to have to deal because it is a crucial part of the system! I truly appreciate that your advice and recommendations stay consistent, based on extensive trial and error with your clients. You’re not pushing the latest product or allowing yourself to be swayed by companies looking to increase profits. If there is a way to give back to you as a thank you, please let us all know. Your work here has been life-changing!!!
@@Rosapixel Those made my skin break out (common problem) plus they don’t work well for long hair as much of your hair won’t stay on it. Also, hair bonnets also help with keeping the moisture in. Especially if you put leave in conditioner on before putting one on after every wash…it’s amazing. Silk pillowcases won’t do any of that.
What material is your sleeping bonnet made of? I am looking for one, but did not find a video of Chris yet with this information. Or if you could link the right video that would also be very helpful (:
How did you know I was recently asking myself how to clean my brush? Is there a proper way to clean a blow out brush as well? Also what hair mask is your recommendation for fine thin hair?
I seriously can not thank this man enough for helping me learn how to take care of my long hair. It’s naturally curly and super dry. I’ve always washed it once every 1-2 weeks, but I never knew how to keep it looking good everyday. Now I have a basic hair routine in the mornings to go with my skincare routine. I absolutely love my hair now, and I enjoy taking care of it
What do you do to combat the dryness and keep it looking good between wash days? Is there a video of Chris's you recommend or a product that helped you lots?
Here’s a tip too- hands off your hair. I notice when I’m home and I don’t my hair as much. When I’m out all week, I touch my hair a lot. Think about how greasy after putting lotion on, after we eat, etc. I have to remind myself to stop touching my hair! It’s a silly little habit but it may contribute to hair getting dirtier much quicker. I have very fine hair so it’s got a propensity towards being oily, but it’s less when I follow this rule.
I’ve got hair down to my waist and haven’t been to a hairdresser for 23 years because of botched cuts, stylists who don’t listen to very specific instructions and poor advice. Having watched this, I’m so chuffed to learn I am doing all these things you suggest, at home (and worked it out for myself). You’ve boosted my confidence, thank you 🙏🏻
I’m done going to hairdressers too. I cut my own waist length hair and I cut my 80 year old mums beautiful hip length hair. If I were younger I would go to cosmetology school and open a salon specifically for people with long hair or who want long hair - making sure to weed out the stylists that are hack happy.
Chris can you PLEASE make a video on how to care for naturally curly (Wavy, curly, and coily)hair?? Products you recommend to keep hair healthy and how to properly diffuse hair to keep it protected from heat?
As someone who works as fitness trainer and has oily scalp, face, chest and literally everything, I absolutely hate hearing “you’re doing something wrong washing your hair daily”. Yes, my hair is oily next day after being professionally washed by a hairdresser. And yes, they are 26 inches long and perfectly fine despite of my “over washing”. Hair experts should consider that some women might have PCOS f.e. which increases testosterone production and it affects skin oiliness. If people with oily scalp don't wash it every day, in addition to looking terrible, they will end up with acne along their entire hairline 💁🏻♀️
Everything you say is awesome ! But for me, my hair was horrible until I started washing it daily! I spent years trying to push my washes, and it would just end in my ends snapping off. Now I do the trinity routine daily! And my hair is much softer, less tangly more manageable! I should mention I don't use heat! Only because my hair becomes very unmanageable when I use heat. If I let it air dry then my hair is smoother and softer, more hydrated, the moment I try to blow dry or blow dry brush it, it feels like straw.
It's the same for me. I always washed my hair every day. Then for a whole year I tried to wash every other day or even less. After a year it's keeping producing sebum as much as at the begining. So today I go back to washing every day. I'm tired of greasy hair the next day after washing it. Too bad I have oily scalp skin and super fine hair which gets dirty very quickly
That means you have stripped the oils from your scalp to the point where it's overcompensating making your scalp so oily that you have to wash it daily. The more you do it the worse it will get. Waste of time and money.
@@nadias6435 I don't think so. Surely in a year of washing hair less the oils should have came back and everything should stabilize. But the hair is the same. I'm glad you can wash your hair whenever you want, but everybody is different
@@reercudiif you washed you hair every day with industrial shampoo, washing it every other day would not be enough to let your scalp recover actually and there wouldn't be a noticeable change. You would need to do a more dramatic sebum cure, which is a really specific treatment where you don't wash you hair for a whole month and you brush it regularly and in specific ways with a boar bristle brush to let the natural sebum moisterize you hair from scalp to ends, not letting the sebum accumulate on top. Obviously it's a really hard procedure that not everyone is cut out for but I did it a few years ago it's a life changer. I definitely recommend to people who have greasy hair problems and WANT to stop washing them every day.
Its actually a super popular and well known procedure in France but I can't seem to find anything in English except for videos of historical hair care ... That's interesting !
I know, I told you many times, but again: your recommendations saved my hair 🥰 I can go 4 days between washes now and finally my hair is getting longer than shoulder length! Before I only could grow it to the shoulders and then they would break and get split ends. Thank you so much! 😊
@@posch21 I am not married but I do still enjoy smelling nice. I also use dry shampoo on the in-between days, what does being married have to do with anything tho hahaha 😂😂
I wash my hairbrush when I wash my hair so I don't ruin my clean hair with a dirty brush. This one tip make my hair last so much longer between washes!
I hate when people say that no one should have to wash their hair every day. I have super oily hair and I live in Florida. If I don’t want greasy hair, I have to wash it every day. I could use a new brush every day and it’s not going to change the oil and sweat coming out of my pores. And before someone says dry shampoo, it does not work for me. I end up with greasy hair that now looks dirty on top of the grease. 😢
cannot find any good hairstylist in Palm Beach. I have dirty blonde hair and now that I’m in my late 40s I’m starting to get white hairs in the front of my head and no matter how much I pay. None of these hairstylist know how to cover this up so I’m ending up spending close to $300 to have white hair in the front of my head am I supposed to dye my hair because it’s easier to cover the grays?
Brilliant tips. I've recently experienced the heat tip myself - I've always been using a lower temperature, but having to touch up with heat every day. And my friend convinced me to try a higher heat (with protectant of course) and the curls lasted for two days when after sleeping in a bun and brushing!
What made the biggest difference to the condition of my hair...coconut oil. I have bleached collar bone length hair and nothing helped. I tried pureology leave in conditioner, rebel tame frizz dismiss and they were both meh. I used morrocan oil weightless mask and it too was meh until I remembered coconut oil from the past so hadn't tried it in a while so I put coconut oil on dry hair ,left it in for a couple of hours, shampooed out,put in pureology conditioner, and then applied the morrocan oil hair mask and the next morning, straight ,smooth hair for days. Hopefully now I have found a winning formula for me.
Thanks for the great advice. I'm not sure if I can go three or four days without washing my hair, though. I do sports several times a week and I'm sweating quite a lot on the head. So my hair gets pretty sweaty as well. Any recommendations how to deal with this?
I just want to say, Than you!! Your advice and directions have returned my hair to my 30's. I'm 59 originally from CA. Moved to PA and between humidity and grey hair, I almost gave up. I have thick coarse -curly hair that used to look great all the time without much effort, but the last 10 years or so.....anyway thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
I have thick natural salt and pepper grey hair. I go between 4-5 days with washes. I'm in the process of getting my soulmate shampoo and conditioner. But have already started washing my hair properly NOW. Even if I'm using crap store products now. I already notice a difference in the weight. I'm just air drying for now till I get my redkin heat protector. I already have(medium length) hair breakage and dry scalp and hair so don't want to make it worse. All that back story to ask if you could do a video or do you have a video that talks about grey hair over 40-50 and is there a difference to taking care of it? Thx so much for all your help.
I am from India and it's very difficult to get the professional shampoo mentioned on the channel at a fair price since its imported. But somehow I managed to switch to professional Indian brands like Loreal Professional. Plus I got a leave in conditioner, followed the kungfu shampoo technique, got a scalp massager and made sure I use my conditioner shampoo and oil exactly like its suggested by Blowout Professor. I see wonders happening to my thin, straight hair prone to oil and buildup. I am enjoying the healthiest hair of my life right now and wonder how better it could be if I could get and use the exact same products he suggests. Every video has more or less similar points to communicate and still I can't get enough of this channel and continue to enrich my knowledge about hair care. Thank you for bringing such untainted educational content forward and transforming the hair health of thousands of people watching you!
I went to a hairdresser today, after 2+ year break. I wanted advice on how to style to minimize frizz, and was so disappointed to hear the old myths like I gotta trim every 3-4 months to encourage growth, use a diffuser and and curl gel (that they sell) and she styled my hair so that I look like I live under a bridge. No nice blowout for me, and obviously no useful tips on how to style for frizz. She even said I have to use a gentle moisturizing shampoo. The whole time I'm hearing Chris's voice in my head saying "no, stop, wrong" 😂 Man I wish you didn't work on the other side of the globe, it's absolutely hopeless here
I want to thank you for all your tips, it is universal! I'm Malaysian and live in a tropical country where I can't go more than 24 hours without washing my hair. We wash our hair daily due to the weather. After watching your video, I bought all of the recommended products and I can now go up to 5 days without washing my hair. No smells, no oily scalp, just healthy bouncy hair. I have curly hair and I felt awful for following all of the curly hair rules tips all this while; your tips works on curly hair. i have a request can you explain protein and keratin hair treatments?
@@corrinjessen I am totally familiar with hot, humid climates but what I mean is that even in cold climates, scalp issues make you struggle with this same problem.
I wouldn’t start messing with protein treatments unless you do your research first. If your hair doesn’t need it, it will do a lot more harm than good. There’s ways to test it that you can find online. I realized my hair didn’t need it so I don’t use any of that stuff anymore. Good luck!
Wow In all my years I’ve never learned so much about hair! It’s almost like most hairstylists want us to not know what to do so we can keep going back to them.
This man is a hair genius ! .I've been watching his video's and followed his tips and instructions . My hair has superimproved and growing superfast . He's explanations are simple , to the point and ( above all ) honest (!!) . So thank you Blow Out Professor for giving me healthy and beautiful hair . Greetings from Belguim .
Such great tips! Practical and not expensive. I wear the hair ties bc they remind me of being a high school and college athlete, and being that fit. Don't know if it's related or not, but I'm a longtime consumer of fish oils and daily vitamins, and I have thick lush hair in my forties (and I color it). Thank you!
I highly doubt he’ll see this, but if anyone else has any tips, I would really appreciate it. So I have extremely thick hair, and I shed like a dog. My week-old brush looks like one someone hasn’t cleaned in a month. And even though my hair is thick, the individual hairs are extremely fine, so they’ll tangle around the bristles of my brush and it takes half an hour to remove just one brush’s worth of hair. Does anyone know how to fix this??
Hi, Thanks for the valuable info. Two requests - 1. Can you please make a video on best hair treatments to manage frizzy hair. For eg - Keratin, botox etc 2. Can you suggest other options for leave-in conditioner? The one that you generally recommend is not available here in India. Thanks in advance:)
Hi! I know how you always highlight how important leave-in conditioner is but the reality is that those are incredible hard to find at stores, at least where I live, to the point that I didn't even know they were a thing until I started doing more research about haircare. I find all those leave-in treatments, serums, whatever that you mention too, but a simple leave-in conditioner seems almost impossible to find (the only ones I found are on a more expensive side and still very hard to find)
Hi, I have curly hair and really struggled to find d a leave in conditioner that didn't weigh my hair down. Then my hairdresser recommended Equave which I bought on Amazon and it was a game changer. My hair is now soft and silky and it doesn't weigh down the curls. I highly recommend this very affordable product.
I have the same problem…seems like I can’t find a “simple” leave in conditioner…even on Amazon. A lot of what is labeled as leave in conditioner are leave in treatments. I really can’t find one…
Just to mention, if you don't have microfiber towel, just use regular cotton t-shirt, it does get more wet than regular towels, but it's much more gentle to your hair. I have curly hair and a towel didn't touch my hair for years, t-shirt does the job 😊
I’ve been struggling with my hair recently, this is a video I needed to watch but didn’t even realise it. Thank you, hope all your tips will make my hair lush and healthy again ❤️
thankss very much for the good tips…some of which I’ve learnt from my grandma & mom last time although long forgotten by now…(haha, aren’t young anymore to remember my teenage hair advice). But you know what, the funny things is when I’ve never put hot stuffs onto my hair, it’s really healthy, thick and black (I’m Asian so it’s naturally dark black) but once i dyed my hair (got influenced by the Korean styles) and do curl perms, etc…people are telling me how much they like my hair looking nice any complimenting it despite the texture is all rotten (yes I can tell whenever after wash as my hair without any styling products on it nor beautifully permed curls…in wet state, it’s just horrid!) so guess this is the difference between professional views and public views, most people can’t really tell how spoilt our seemingly beautifully permed curl + brightly colored dyed hair are! 🤣🤣
Wet hair sleeper here (waist length hair) great tips I pretty much use all of them ❤also I would add a silk pillowcase they are amazing. Since you mentioned the hair ties (totally agree with you) what would you suggest be the best protective styles as I said my hair is waist length and I need it up for work (dog groomer) or I accidentally clip my own hair 😂
Yes. My hair is super long and so heavy. No matter how I put it up on my head it's heavy and sometimes gives me migraines. I would love to find a style that helpes relieve those issues.
Hi Chris, thank you for your informative, no BS videos. I could do with some hair care routine advice. I can get away with washing my hair once or twice a week, BUT, I work out every day, and my thick, shoulder-length hair becomes a sweaty, frizzy mess. Because I only have half an hour to get ready, I throw it in a ponytail (without washing) and head off to work. As you can imagine, it’s pretty stinky by day 4, and it never properly dries out underneath. I used to wash my hair every day and let it air dry in years gone by, but don’t have the time to do that now. My hair actually feels healthier now that I’m washing it less often, but because it’s wavy/curly, I need to put product in it to define and hold the curl. As soon as I tie it back and it gets sweaty, I can kiss goodbye the idea of wearing it loose because it gets frizzy and the curl clumps get messed up. Any tips? Greetings from Australia 😊
I've tried multiple times to skip days washing my hair...but my scalp breaks out terribly when I do 😩 if I wash daily the breakouts go away. I'd love to skip days, but honestly I always feel so much cleaner when I wash everything, especially in the summer.
Chris, i've hated my hair for so long since i've lost atleast half of it due to anemia, rapid weight loss, etc. I still have a good amount and it doesn't look bad at all but i always kept thinking of what it used to be. i've purchased the products you recommended and it completely changed my hair. i am in love with my hair again! i get excited for wash days since your routine is so simple yet it yields such good results. thank you thank you!!
@@stefanienoa4674 sure! I bought the redken volume injection shampoo and conditioner (in the pink bottle) and the pureology leave in conditioner. I already have a hair oil from Aveda that I use for my ends. My hair is on the finer side so these have worked beautifully for me
Another viewer saying Thank you! Not only is my hair condition improving, so is my bank balance because, even with buying slightly more expensive better quality products, I'm using less of them & not having to use shower/drier as often saves on utility bills too. Really appreciate your expert yet easy to understand advice.
I have never used a "hair mask". I have very long (down past my waist), curly, dry hair. I also color my hair in three shades (which I am positive adds to the dryness). I receive daily compliments on my hair and try to take good care of it the best I can. What type of "hair mask" would you recommend? Thank you. LOVE your videos.
I'm subscribing because you sound legit. Not like other so-called "gurus". It never really helped my hair. I tried your routine just yesterday and my hair feels so clean and nice and light. And I don't have a hair fall yet! Now I'm gonna wait a day or two to see if it doesn't get too oily too much and see if I can get by til end of the week before washing. I mean just not seeing a single hair fall I'm already blown away.
I have been implementing a lot of your advice. I’m using redken shampoo, conditioner, and split end treatment, I’m wearing a silk sleep cap, I bought a wet brush and I bought the redken blow out product for when I dry my hair (previously I almost always air dried). And I’m not vigorously rubbing my hair with a towel. I’m hoping to get some extra length that I lost through colouring my hair.
I went into this video thinking I was going to learn so many of my bad habits. But most of these things have been taught to me by my mum :0 I'm basically doing most of these things. I hate the old hair ties, so the moment my mum gave me a scrunchy I was stoked :> Thank you for this great video! I hope everyone will be good to their hair
Last tip i didnt know looking forward to try that out :) Unluckily Ive to wash them a lot cause I work in a superdirty environment :/ guess more masks then ^^
Yes! My hair is very fine. I wear it up mostly. If my hair is down, it rubs on my back and I get a nest of tangles in the back of my hair. I hate it. Why does this happen? Does it happen to everyone? How can I prevent it?
Completely lost me at a "use brush instead of comb". The second I switched from brush to comb, my hair got a new life. I've never had any breakage with comb, when my brush was always full of hair. I'll be damned if I ever use a brush on my hair again :P
yea with almost every haircare tip, theres exceptions, some hairtypes r gonna prefer x while some prefer y, im guessing this vid is just some overall tips if someone is experiencing damage and dont know where it comes from
I used to always follow the directions when I came to heat protectants but I never felt like I was getting the most out of it. I have extremely thick hair! I found the best way to make sure I was truly getting full coverage with heat protectant is to apply it with a fine tooth comb, section by section why my hair was still damp. It’s been a total game changer and I’ve been able to maintain a straight style for 3 days without having to do touch ups. Would 10/10 recommend using a heat protectant and making sure you are methodically applying it every time.👌🏻
@@LK-lz6lk if you have tangles when your hair it wet then I would advise against using a fine tooth comb with wet hair….but my hair doesn’t tangle even a little so combing through my wet hair is effortless and applying heat protectant that way is the most effective for ME.
@@kriss.universe8899 I'm glad & don't doubt it works for you! You did reccommend it tho so, I just wanted to point out it's in opposition to his recommendation in the video. I appreciate you added in your reply: you don't advise for those with tangles - very helpful!👊 Thanks!✌️
Thank you for all your tips! I’m 47 years old with thick down to waist hair. I always go to sleep with damp hair and definitely it doesn’t ruin your hair. I never blow dry or use any heating devices on my hair and I also have never dyed my hair and I think that’s the reason I have healthy long hair.
Like you, I have really long hair, ( I can sit on it), but my hair isn't that thick, kind of medium . I haven't used heating tools since the early 90's, ( the old curling wands), and don't blow dry my hair either. I only occasionally dye my hair, but only every couple of years. As a result, my hair is in pretty healthy condition, as nearly everything Chris said, my mother drilled into is as kids. I only really have to wash my hair once a week, except in summer, when it's twice a week due to sweatiness.( Australian, so our summers are really hot). Im not a fan of hair products, as I've always taken good care of my hair.
Maybe cause it's thick as well. Although my hair used to be so healthy as well when i didn't dye or bleach it. I have fine hair but a lot. Sleeping with wet hair didn't damage it at all
I changed some of the products I was using for the ones your recommend: Redken thermal protector, Olaplex oil etc.. and I am super happy. My hair is much better. Thank you for your videos! ❤
I never brush my hair... it's very thick, ad coarse. I was it max once a week. Never had to to brush it, even before washing less. It's dry, so it doesn't tend to tangle, even if 'greasy', for my standards.
I’m going to be honest. I got my first haircut this week in a year and 8 months. I’ve had a lot going on with a family members health then I was diagnosed with stage 4 hormonal breast cancer. I’m not on chemo but I am on endocrine therapy. I am actually doing really good but in the last month my hair started thinning out on the sides. I follow the curly girl method (I can’t style right now, but still follow the method). I baby my hair. I prefer a dry cut so the only time a flat iron touches my hair is when I get a haircut. I had the stylist go through my hair to help me look for bald spots and see where all it is thinning. I’ve got a lot of hair so it is not noticeable until I pull my hair up on the top of my head. She was shocked with the health of my hair for not getting a haircut is so long. She couldn’t find any split ends. All she had to trim was half an inch of hair that was starting to look dried out. I follow almost everything you said in the video. My hair is the healthiest it’s ever been since starting the curly girl method about 3 years ago. I wash my hair once a week and sometimes longer. I make my own dry shampoo but rarely have use it. If I need an extra wash within a week then I do a co wash or a very low poo shampoo. I do a bond treatment on my hair once a month to 2 months and a deep conditioning treatment every 2 weeks. I rotate my deep conditioning treatments with a hydration/moisturizing conditioner and a strengthening conditioner. Too much protein in my products start to make my hair feel like straw. At that point I have to wash my hair with sulfates to get the excess protein off my hair then it’s back to feeling super soft. Great advice on your video!
I literally never knew there was so much to hair health... That being said, I have very badly damaged hair and the last time I went to a hairdresser or got it cut was 2 years ago. It's not like I think about it ever. I suppose I can use some of these tips, thanks.
Hey Chris! Thank you so much for the advice on cleaning your brushes! I use all the products your recommend for fine hair and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t go 2 days in between washing! Made a huge difference. Today is day 2 and my hair looks great!!!!
Some of these seem so obvious yet some of the mistakes are really hard to avoid. For example, I could never wear just a scrunchie or the invis thing for working out, or else my hair falls out of it constantly. Also, I have had hairdressers do the washing machine dry technique which is crazy. And lastly, curious if you have thoughts on the dyson airwrap in terms of a product that does less heat damage... ?
Oh, I love how earnest you are at the end, begging us all to tell all our friends to stop using shampoo on our roots! Thank you for caring about everyone's hair 🤩
Thank you Chris! 💕 I always struggle with dry ends. I NEVER knew that you were not supposed to wash your ends with shampoo. I'm a cosmetologist and literally did not know this.
My hair is a naturally fussy (Multi-textured, porous and dry) and I made do for awhile but between the breakage from BJJ and then post-covid hair loss, It definitely now has a story to tell. A couple months ago I decided to put a little more effort into taking care of my mop and I'm starting to see a difference.
Hi Chris, your videos and tips helped me so much! Thanks for that. Only one thing is still not working. As you mentioned in this video, high humidity is the worst for fine hair. As soon as the humidity is a bit higher, I look like I haven't brushed my hair in days at all. Especially my white hair loves to do whatever it likes and not what I want. Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks
How is it that a man with no hair has given me better hair advice than people with 3 feet long gorgeous locks??? Thank you!
Because hes a professional and went to school where did you go
@No They didn't say they went to cosmetology school and they weren't criticizing him, lmao
@@No-sl6ugRead before you swing at ppl
He cares about hair 💜
The best hair stylists in the world 🌎 are bald ,that's facts
1. Have a clean brush
2. Use a heat protectant
3. Use invisibobble or scrunchies instead of elastics/bands with metal wiring (?)
4. dont dry your hair with a towel washing-machine style, press the towel in instead
5. Detangle your hair with a brush with flexible bristles
6. Have leave in conditioner to help detangling (not treatment, serum etc.)
7. Don’t sleep with wet hair too often
8. Use a shower cap (terry cloth liner) if you're not washing your hair in the shower
9. Have a hair mask
- healthy hair, once a month
- damaged hair, once a week
- in the middle, every 2 weeks
10. Shampoo the right way
- only on your scalp, never on your ends
Thanks, saved my time. 😅
@@_sonia1994 no problem!
Thank you. You are saving us a lot of time. 😅
Bless your heart💕
I can’t find what “hair mask” he’s referring to…..
I learned everything I know about hair from a bald man on TH-cam.
I’m a fellow hairstylist and I’ll be honest, when I first clicked your video I was thinking it was gonna be another video filled with common sense stuff I already know. But actually. You’re a genius and gave me a TON of great advice to pass along to my guests!! THANK YOU!
I tried getting my hair lady to brush my hair from the bottom up, and not with a comb, and she wouldn't listen saying it didn't make sense 🤦♀️
Ditto! Stylist of 23 years here and I even learned something today. Thank you
He always does :)
what to use for ends ???
Hair oil after the shower, after leave in conditioner. Also a repeat mask for 10 minutes every once in awhile.(before hair washing).
1. Washing hair every day
2. Using old, unclean brush
3. Believing Some hot tools do less demage
4. Using the Wrong hair ties
5. Drying hair with towel
6. Detangeling with a comp
7. Detangeling nicked hair
8. Sleeping with Wet hair
9. Showering without protection
10. Never using hair mask
11. Using shampoo the Wrong way
You Are welcome
I never use a brush or comb, just clean fingers, makes my clean hair last! Plus less breakage!
Thank you ma’am 😅
The first time I feel welcome :) thanks
@@silimavanya are you bald? Or have short hair? This is unrealistic for people with long hair (especially curly hair).
@@l.Marissa.l Why are you so offended lmao. Finger combing is also a very real thing in the curly hair community, it essentially just boils down to personal preference and what your own hair likes more.
I genuinely came to this video expecting to be told "You're doing your hair wrong, buy these 5 items, they're all 50 bucks" and that wasn't what I got. They're actually very good tips. Not everyone can afford to spend all that money on hair care.I can't, I can make use of all of these tips. Thank you!
I love the leave-in spray that he mentioned. It's $30 or so and I figure that if it's good for my hair, it's worth it. I noticed a huge difference in my hair after using it after washing before brushing and styling. ❤
@@hollyc.691use once after washing hairs or every time before brushing please clear my query regarding leave in conditioner spray also after shampooing you just use his recommended leave in conditioner or adding something else?
@@hollyc.691 I am SO sorry it took me so long to get back to you, youtube is terrible at notifying me of replies til weeks later. I am gonna try it. I don't have the patience for like 5 steps in my hair. It's not thick hair but I have so much of it. I have literally never gotten a haircut without a comment on how much hair I have and how long it takes, and, not only that, but it's curly and I don't produce literally any oil. I need products that fulfill multiple jobs and leave-in products are my holy grail.
@@anamsandhu12 I would co wash my hair (curly hair, if you have hair that benefits shampoo, I would shampoo and condition it) and then leave it to air dry, I'll use t-shirt after washing and leave it to air dry. Style after dry. If you use heat, use a heat protectant.
@@EdwardoLover so I recently started watching this guy and I was able to get some of these products, but I still have a question. I take showers at night and I also let it air dry. The only routine I've ever heard of was just shampoo and conditioner but now I'm gonna use the trinity route, so after I shower and spray in the leave in conditioner do I let it air dry fully then add the oil? Or should I blow dry it (without heat protectant I'll buy that soon) and once the ends are dry then I add the oil? I never style my hair I either go with braids or loose bun.
Dermatologists say to wash your hair as often as you need. Every head is different. Some people are super athletic or have gross jobs and need to wash daily. Others can go days.
Dermathologists also only want your money and they know what daily washing will cause to your scalp
I’m a daily washer because I have scalp issues that are made better with daily washing. My hair is also very thick and healthy, and I have no problems growing it long.
My hair has gotten so much softer and thicker with washing daily. I always used to follow the rule “leave it till once a week” etc and tbh it did nothing but damage my hair. A dirty scalp isn’t going to produce good growth, pretty logical really
.. dermatologists think they know more then they do...
@@sweetbeep So what did they go to 6 years of school for?
I experienced COVID that lasted around 10 days. At first, I believed I was fine but I started to lose more hair than normal. Following some research, I am realizing it’s from the stress my body went through during that time period and also the shampoo that I was using. So I started doing meditation, yoga everyday and changed my shampoo and conditioner to littleextrraa coooconion anti hair fall kit. And now I don't face any hairfall.
Thanks for this video! I feel so much better.
Just placed my second order for Littlllextra Cocoonion hair oil and shampoo. I absolutely love it. Since I started applying it, I experienced visible hair growth.
I have waist length straight hair that likes to get tangled after washing it, and I NEVER understood why everyone at my salon was hell bent on combing my wet hair instead of using a brush! I can FEEL all the hair that's getting ripped out, and they struggle like hell, but when I use a wet brush, it only takes a few strokes to get through it. Why do so many salons still use such a damaging method for getting through tangled wet hair?
I can’t stand it either! It’s old school in my mind that needs to be changed. I’m not sure if you have spoken up about it before the the hair stylist? I just tell them that I will be doing the brushing of my hair after it’s been washed. Sometimes I blow dry my own hair too bc I rather do it myself they having it messed it lol I have long fine hair too that tangles easily, I felt your pain on this 😹💕
@@adriana27100 you have inspired me to speak up at my salon! I'm planning on getting a trim soon, and I am bringing my wet brush with me, and if they don't like it, they can find another client! You've convinced me to be brave, and my hair will thank you for it!
Because they do it on purpose so you keep going back ! I been doing my own hair for years
Because a comb is more sanitary and a brush is not it will leave hair dandruff ect.
@@prizcruz2673 If their brushes are that unsanitary, then I'd be out of there like a flash. Brushes can be - and must be - cleaned.
Another option is to have at least 2 hair brushes that would be used Before and After Shampooing your hair to avoid dirt, oil, dandruff and build up from the same hair brush transferring onto clean hair. That makes a lot difference too.
That’s what I do it’s actually a really good tip
This is what I do! I have ones I use shortly after washing on wet hair. I rinse them after every time I use them so they stay clean. Then I have ones I use on dry hair, which get dirtier. It really helps to keep them separate!
@@instantkarmalr omg I'm so going to try this!!
Thank you Hannah!
Thanks that's really good advice
Today I was 33 yrs old and learned sampoo does not go on ends of hair. Thank you sir.
Thanks mom for making me clean my combs and brushes after each time I used them. I took it for granted that everyone did that. Hair wash day was always once a week. Now I know why I've never had to wash my hair every day.
I always clean my brushes and I still have to wash every other day, I’ve just got an oily scalp…my hair is down to my waist and very healthy 🤦🏽♀️
@@krgxo some people genuinely do have to wash every other day but dry shampoo can really help add an extra days worth of style. Then you’ll be at 3 days between washes!
My Nana taught me when I was a wee one. I have been cleaning brushes twice a month since then. I inherited my Great Nana’s hairbrush that she received in the late 1880’s! It’s still in excellent condition.
@@Sorchia56that's crazy cool! I wish you could upload pics on here in the comments.
You don’t have to wash your hair every day because you have a drier scalp. It’s got SFA to do with cleaning your combs every single day.
I’m blown away (pun intended!) by how helpful and educational this video is. I’m a guy who’s kept my hair long for about a decade now. My hair is super duper thick. When it dries out too much it becomes embarrassingly wild and unruly. You’ve just enlightened some possible mistakes I’m needing to rectify - especially the properly shampooing bit. Bless you 🙏 ❤
"embarrassingly unruly" - that made me smile:)
I'm a guy w long hair is what made me smile. Looooove long hair on a man! So sexy! And dont c it nearly enuf! Keep those long locks sweetie. Some of us appreciate it immensely😉
Wash your hair in cold water ,not hot ,hot water makes your hair dry out
@@donkeyballs3307 I found that the kryptonite for my hair was the bad water quality - our water was chlorinated.
We moved and are on well water now. There's sulfur in it, which we filter out for drinking but otherwise it does wonders for my skin and hair.
I wash my hair with moderately hot water, shower temperature, and have no issues. As a matter of fact, I've started to have to cut my hair once a year, when before it wouldn't grow past my waist. For reference, I'm in my fifties, so ... yeah, my hair suddenly grows like a teenager's.
LOL.THATS THE NAME of my old salon! Got so $$$post covid, my teens& I haven't had friggen cut since Covid😢
My tip is when brushing hair start a few inches from the bottom then go higher up towards the head with each stroke, so if there’s a tangle, you aren’t ripping it down the whole length of your hair
Brush or comb the bottom first then make your way up. That's what a salon lady told me.
That's what I do.
I would like to see a video from you with advice on how to deal with hard water damage for people that live in areas with hard water coming out of their shower.
Absolutely!
I had the same issue. I took a chance and bought ION Hard Water Shampoo and Conditioner. I only used it once so far, but I felt an immediate difference in my hair.
I second that!
I hate invisi bobbles! I still get the kink and it doesn’t hold my hair in a pony well. Plus it feels horrible and tugs on the hair when removing. Much prefer a scrunchie. Gives volume and a bigger bun too when wearing up.
I also wanted to add that I tried the “Invisibobble” and it also ripped out my hair for some reason. Maybe because my hair is super thick. So I immediately stopped and threw them all away. Now I stick to mostly big silk scrunchies and the thick black hair bands.
That’s been my experience with invisibobble as well, unfortunately. Now I just use hair clips or sometimes bobby pins when I want to put the hair up.
I really like the pantihose ones. I've never tried the invisibobble so can't compare. I don't like scrunchies (reminds me of my very awkward pre-teen years).
Yes these plastic ties are terrible, they have sharp edges aswell, there where the 2 ends are glued together
I believe it’s because of how it was manufactured, it’s coiled/spiral shape causes the hair to get easily entangled within it, to the point where it can easily get ripped out if one isn’t careful taking it off.
I’ve had the same experience. I have fine, bleached hair and I’ve found that the Scunci no damage hair ties work well. They don’t slide out of my hair as easily because I can wrap them numerous times. Also, when they stretch out, you can throw them in the washer with your clothes and they go back to normal size. Because my hair is so fine and slick, scrunchies slip out. These have been a lifesaver.
My mom told me a lot of this stuff when I was younger. I went through a rebel phase and cut it off, dyed the crap out of it too, but now that I'm older, wiser, and have hair down past my butt, I can concur. This advise he says will save you from spending hundreds on hair products fixing past mistakes. It's also nice getting compliments from strangers. People will look up to you if you have a well groomed mane. :)
Facts!
People will up to you if you are smart. 🤦♀️
I came into this video expecting it to not apply to my Dominican hair but a lot of these are things we already do, and honestly I forgot about using hair masks. I’m glad I can incorporate that into my routine. I’ll also add this is why so many block people wrap our hair up at night to help prevent breakage, damage to the style or curls and it also keeps your pillows clean bc you don’t have to sleep on your hair making your face and pillow dirtier
Me realizing that the hair grease from my pillow is what's causing me to have acne: (╥﹏╥)
Do you have suggestions for swimmers? Wearing a swimcap isn’t always the answer and hair is going to get wet. What advice do you have when hair gets wet almost daily? If you could do a video to answer this dilemma, it would be much appreciated! Love your hair advice overall!
Put conditioner or a leave in mask on your hair before swimming, and put it in a protective style like a braid where it doesn’t get as knotted as easily. Obviously try to wear swim cap and limit exposure to water. When you shower use a hair mask and shampoo and conditioner that are moisturizing. You can try hair oiling too. Oil is hydrophobic while water is hydrophilic so the oil repels water molecules
Hi I have really long thick cut hair n swim 5 times a week but managed to buy a really big swim cap for long hair . It’s a game changer
@@brooklynray9536 was literally just about to say that 😅 . Try a leave in conditioner or maybe even a hair oil
I've heard you should wet all your hair first in cold water as dry hair soaks up all the chlorine or other pool water like salt water, then put some conditioner on it then your cap
Thanks for the suggestions! I’m curious to hear from Chris and hear what his recommendations are!
I'd love to see you hair gurus talking about how much iron and low iron messes up your hair. 1 in 4 women have low iron, and it leads to dull dry hair or hair loss. I saw a dermatologist and he recommended supplements to get my ferritin to over 80 to regrow hair I lost from being anemic. Made a massive difference in hair regrowth, rehydrating it AND it improved the texture too! other nutrient deficiencies can massively affect your hair.
What supplement is this?
@@beabrandy any iron supplement. In Canada you can get Feramax which is awesome and easy on the stomach! I would recommend blood work to get your ferritin level checked. 80-100 is optimal for women and excellent health overall (my dermatologist recommended 90-100 for optimal hair regrowth). It took me 2 years of taking daily supplements to get from 27-80.
True fact!
Iodine deficiency can also make your hair fall out!
Just found your videos and devoured so many of them. Bought the products and followed your system. Went four days between washes for the first time ever! I have fine, highlighted, aging hair and have always washed daily. No more! My husband hates the sleeping bonnet but he is just going to have to deal because it is a crucial part of the system! I truly appreciate that your advice and recommendations stay consistent, based on extensive trial and error with your clients. You’re not pushing the latest product or allowing yourself to be swayed by companies looking to increase profits. If there is a way to give back to you as a thank you, please let us all know. Your work here has been life-changing!!!
Buy the products from his shop.
You can use silk pillowcases instead of sleeping bonnet.
@@Rosapixel Those made my skin break out (common problem) plus they don’t work well for long hair as much of your hair won’t stay on it.
Also, hair bonnets also help with keeping the moisture in. Especially if you put leave in conditioner on before putting one on after every wash…it’s amazing. Silk pillowcases won’t do any of that.
What material is your sleeping bonnet made of? I am looking for one, but did not find a video of Chris yet with this information. Or if you could link the right video that would also be very helpful (:
Yeah right, how the eff would he know anything about hair? He has like none wtf
I love how he gives actual good advice not just criticizing or trying to sell us on a bunch of products he's being so fr thanks uuuu
A little add on, I struggled with hair loss and started sleeping with my hair in a braid. It’s grown SO much and feels much stronger
Satin or silk pillowcases help a ton too ❤
How did you know I was recently asking myself how to clean my brush? Is there a proper way to clean a blow out brush as well? Also what hair mask is your recommendation for fine thin hair?
Moroccanoil weightless hydrating mask
I seriously can not thank this man enough for helping me learn how to take care of my long hair. It’s naturally curly and super dry. I’ve always washed it once every 1-2 weeks, but I never knew how to keep it looking good everyday. Now I have a basic hair routine in the mornings to go with my skincare routine. I absolutely love my hair now, and I enjoy taking care of it
What do you do to combat the dryness and keep it looking good between wash days? Is there a video of Chris's you recommend or a product that helped you lots?
For a guy with no hair, he's really on point!
I use Dawn Powerwash on my brushes. Breaks down all the oil so quickly and easily.
Here’s a tip too- hands off your hair. I notice when I’m home and I don’t my hair as much. When I’m out all week, I touch my hair a lot. Think about how greasy after putting lotion on, after we eat, etc. I have to remind myself to stop touching my hair! It’s a silly little habit but it may contribute to hair getting dirtier much quicker. I have very fine hair so it’s got a propensity towards being oily, but it’s less when I follow this rule.
My tips are: do not chemically straighten and then bleach your hair blond on the same day.
Good tip to try is to wrap your hair in a microfiber turbie towel when you shower. No moisture gets inside to your hair. 😊
Me: listening to the first tip
My hair brush, uncleaned for 2 months, full of old hair, oil and build up: 🥺
I’ve got hair down to my waist and haven’t been to a hairdresser for 23 years because of botched cuts, stylists who don’t listen to very specific instructions and poor advice.
Having watched this, I’m so chuffed to learn I am doing all these things you suggest, at home (and worked it out for myself). You’ve boosted my confidence, thank you 🙏🏻
I’m done going to hairdressers too. I cut my own waist length hair and I cut my 80 year old mums beautiful hip length hair. If I were younger I would go to cosmetology school and open a salon specifically for people with long hair or who want long hair - making sure to weed out the stylists that are hack happy.
Chris can you PLEASE make a video on how to care for naturally curly (Wavy, curly, and coily)hair?? Products you recommend to keep hair healthy and how to properly diffuse hair to keep it protected from heat?
"The first rule of shampoo, you don't talk about shampoo"..."The second rule of shampoo, you don't talk about shampoo"
As someone who works as fitness trainer and has oily scalp, face, chest and literally everything, I absolutely hate hearing “you’re doing something wrong washing your hair daily”.
Yes, my hair is oily next day after being professionally washed by a hairdresser. And yes, they are 26 inches long and perfectly fine despite of my “over washing”.
Hair experts should consider that some women might have PCOS f.e. which increases testosterone production and it affects skin oiliness.
If people with oily scalp don't wash it every day, in addition to looking terrible, they will end up with acne along their entire hairline 💁🏻♀️
Everything you say is awesome ! But for me, my hair was horrible until I started washing it daily! I spent years trying to push my washes, and it would just end in my ends snapping off. Now I do the trinity routine daily! And my hair is much softer, less tangly more manageable! I should mention I don't use heat! Only because my hair becomes very unmanageable when I use heat. If I let it air dry then my hair is smoother and softer, more hydrated, the moment I try to blow dry or blow dry brush it, it feels like straw.
It's the same for me. I always washed my hair every day. Then for a whole year I tried to wash every other day or even less. After a year it's keeping producing sebum as much as at the begining. So today I go back to washing every day. I'm tired of greasy hair the next day after washing it.
Too bad I have oily scalp skin and super fine hair which gets dirty very quickly
That means you have stripped the oils from your scalp to the point where it's overcompensating making your scalp so oily that you have to wash it daily. The more you do it the worse it will get. Waste of time and money.
@@nadias6435 I don't think so. Surely in a year of washing hair less the oils should have came back and everything should stabilize. But the hair is the same. I'm glad you can wash your hair whenever you want, but everybody is different
@@reercudiif you washed you hair every day with industrial shampoo, washing it every other day would not be enough to let your scalp recover actually and there wouldn't be a noticeable change. You would need to do a more dramatic sebum cure, which is a really specific treatment where you don't wash you hair for a whole month and you brush it regularly and in specific ways with a boar bristle brush to let the natural sebum moisterize you hair from scalp to ends, not letting the sebum accumulate on top. Obviously it's a really hard procedure that not everyone is cut out for but I did it a few years ago it's a life changer. I definitely recommend to people who have greasy hair problems and WANT to stop washing them every day.
Its actually a super popular and well known procedure in France but I can't seem to find anything in English except for videos of historical hair care ... That's interesting !
I know, I told you many times, but again: your recommendations saved my hair 🥰 I can go 4 days between washes now and finally my hair is getting longer than shoulder length! Before I only could grow it to the shoulders and then they would break and get split ends.
Thank you so much! 😊

I hate when people say that no one should have to wash their hair every day. I have super oily hair and I live in Florida. If I don’t want greasy hair, I have to wash it every day. I could use a new brush every day and it’s not going to change the oil and sweat coming out of my pores. And before someone says dry shampoo, it does not work for me. I end up with greasy hair that now looks dirty on top of the grease. 😢
I usually do 2 to 3 washes and that helps
cannot find any good hairstylist in Palm Beach. I have dirty blonde hair and now that I’m in my late 40s I’m starting to get white hairs in the front of my head and no matter how much I pay. None of these hairstylist know how to cover this up so I’m ending up spending close to $300 to have white hair in the front of my head am I supposed to dye my hair because it’s easier to cover the grays?
Brilliant tips. I've recently experienced the heat tip myself - I've always been using a lower temperature, but having to touch up with heat every day. And my friend convinced me to try a higher heat (with protectant of course) and the curls lasted for two days when after sleeping in a bun and brushing!
What made the biggest difference to the condition of my hair...coconut oil. I have bleached collar bone length hair and nothing helped. I tried pureology leave in conditioner, rebel tame frizz dismiss and they were both meh. I used morrocan oil weightless mask and it too was meh until I remembered coconut oil from the past so hadn't tried it in a while so I put coconut oil on dry hair ,left it in for a couple of hours, shampooed out,put in pureology conditioner, and then applied the morrocan oil hair mask and the next morning, straight ,smooth hair for days. Hopefully now I have found a winning formula for me.
Thanks for the great advice. I'm not sure if I can go three or four days without washing my hair, though. I do sports several times a week and I'm sweating quite a lot on the head. So my hair gets pretty sweaty as well. Any recommendations how to deal with this?
I'm no expert, but a good dry shampoo works well. It can give you an extra day or two between washes.
I just want to say, Than you!! Your advice and directions have returned my hair to my 30's. I'm 59 originally from CA. Moved to PA and between humidity and grey hair, I almost gave up. I have thick coarse -curly hair that used to look great all the time without much effort, but the last 10 years or so.....anyway thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
I have thick natural salt and pepper grey hair. I go between 4-5 days with washes. I'm in the process of getting my soulmate shampoo and conditioner. But have already started washing my hair properly NOW. Even if I'm using crap store products now. I already notice a difference in the weight. I'm just air drying for now till I get my redkin heat protector. I already have(medium length) hair breakage and dry scalp and hair so don't want to make it worse.
All that back story to ask if you could do a video or do you have a video that talks about grey hair over 40-50 and is there a difference to taking care of it? Thx so much for all your help.
I am from India and it's very difficult to get the professional shampoo mentioned on the channel at a fair price since its imported.
But somehow I managed to switch to professional Indian brands like Loreal Professional. Plus I got a leave in conditioner, followed the kungfu shampoo technique, got a scalp massager and made sure I use my conditioner shampoo and oil exactly like its suggested by Blowout Professor.
I see wonders happening to my thin, straight hair prone to oil and buildup.
I am enjoying the healthiest hair of my life right now and wonder how better it could be if I could get and use the exact same products he suggests.
Every video has more or less similar points to communicate and still I can't get enough of this channel and continue to enrich my knowledge about hair care.
Thank you for bringing such untainted educational content forward and transforming the hair health of thousands of people watching you!
I heard you loud and clear!! No shampoo on the ends! Practicing this this weekend. Also, the clean brush and the drying the hair tip! THANK YOU!
I went to a hairdresser today, after 2+ year break. I wanted advice on how to style to minimize frizz, and was so disappointed to hear the old myths like I gotta trim every 3-4 months to encourage growth, use a diffuser and and curl gel (that they sell) and she styled my hair so that I look like I live under a bridge. No nice blowout for me, and obviously no useful tips on how to style for frizz. She even said I have to use a gentle moisturizing shampoo.
The whole time I'm hearing Chris's voice in my head saying "no, stop, wrong" 😂
Man I wish you didn't work on the other side of the globe, it's absolutely hopeless here
I want to thank you for all your tips, it is universal! I'm Malaysian and live in a tropical country where I can't go more than 24 hours without washing my hair. We wash our hair daily due to the weather. After watching your video, I bought all of the recommended products and I can now go up to 5 days without washing my hair. No smells, no oily scalp, just healthy bouncy hair. I have curly hair and I felt awful for following all of the curly hair rules tips all this while; your tips works on curly hair. i have a request can you explain protein and keratin hair treatments?
I live in a cold climate and still have to wash my hair everyday.
@@di3486isten to the video then..🤣 but naturally in a humid hot climate your hair gets far more oily faster than in a cooler climate.
@@corrinjessen I am totally familiar with hot, humid climates but what I mean is that even in cold climates, scalp issues make you struggle with this same problem.
I wouldn’t start messing with protein treatments unless you do your research first. If your hair doesn’t need it, it will do a lot more harm than good. There’s ways to test it that you can find online.
I realized my hair didn’t need it so I don’t use any of that stuff anymore. Good luck!
Where are you purchasing the products in Malaysia?
Wow In all my years I’ve never learned so much about hair! It’s almost like most hairstylists want us to not know what to do so we can keep going back to them.
This man is a hair genius ! .I've been watching his video's and followed his tips and instructions . My hair has superimproved and growing superfast . He's explanations are simple , to the point and ( above all ) honest (!!) . So thank you Blow Out Professor for giving me healthy and beautiful hair . Greetings from Belguim .
Such great tips! Practical and not expensive. I wear the hair ties bc they remind me of being a high school and college athlete, and being that fit. Don't know if it's related or not, but I'm a longtime consumer of fish oils and daily vitamins, and I have thick lush hair in my forties (and I color it). Thank you!
I highly doubt he’ll see this, but if anyone else has any tips, I would really appreciate it.
So I have extremely thick hair, and I shed like a dog. My week-old brush looks like one someone hasn’t cleaned in a month. And even though my hair is thick, the individual hairs are extremely fine, so they’ll tangle around the bristles of my brush and it takes half an hour to remove just one brush’s worth of hair. Does anyone know how to fix this??
Hi,
Thanks for the valuable info. Two requests -
1. Can you please make a video on best hair treatments to manage frizzy hair. For eg - Keratin, botox etc
2. Can you suggest other options for leave-in conditioner? The one that you generally recommend is not available here in India.
Thanks in advance:)
Hi! I know how you always highlight how important leave-in conditioner is but the reality is that those are incredible hard to find at stores, at least where I live, to the point that I didn't even know they were a thing until I started doing more research about haircare. I find all those leave-in treatments, serums, whatever that you mention too, but a simple leave-in conditioner seems almost impossible to find (the only ones I found are on a more expensive side and still very hard to find)
Salons sell them, not cheap. Or Amazon.
Hi, I have curly hair and really struggled to find d a leave in conditioner that didn't weigh my hair down. Then my hairdresser recommended Equave which I bought on Amazon and it was a game changer. My hair is now soft and silky and it doesn't weigh down the curls. I highly recommend this very affordable product.
I have the same problem…seems like I can’t find a “simple” leave in conditioner…even on Amazon. A lot of what is labeled as leave in conditioner are leave in treatments. I really can’t find one…
Just to mention, if you don't have microfiber towel, just use regular cotton t-shirt, it does get more wet than regular towels, but it's much more gentle to your hair. I have curly hair and a towel didn't touch my hair for years, t-shirt does the job 😊
Your curls are awesome! ☺️
@@karenbenz9340 well thank you, you're awesome 😁
@@berchyzgb4423 ☺️
I’ve been struggling with my hair recently, this is a video I needed to watch but didn’t even realise it. Thank you, hope all your tips will make my hair lush and healthy again ❤️
thankss very much for the good tips…some of which I’ve learnt from my grandma & mom last time although long forgotten by now…(haha, aren’t young anymore to remember my teenage hair advice).
But you know what, the funny things is when I’ve never put hot stuffs onto my hair, it’s really healthy, thick and black (I’m Asian so it’s naturally dark black) but once i dyed my hair (got influenced by the Korean styles) and do curl perms, etc…people are telling me how much they like my hair looking nice any complimenting it despite the texture is all rotten (yes I can tell whenever after wash as my hair without any styling products on it nor beautifully permed curls…in wet state, it’s just horrid!) so guess this is the difference between professional views and public views, most people can’t really tell how spoilt our seemingly beautifully permed curl + brightly colored dyed hair are! 🤣🤣
Wet hair sleeper here (waist length hair) great tips I pretty much use all of them ❤also I would add a silk pillowcase they are amazing. Since you mentioned the hair ties (totally agree with you) what would you suggest be the best protective styles as I said my hair is waist length and I need it up for work (dog groomer) or I accidentally clip my own hair 😂
I love my silk pillowcases! ❤
@@clayfeathers me too once I tried it I was hooked
Yes. My hair is super long and so heavy. No matter how I put it up on my head it's heavy and sometimes gives me migraines. I would love to find a style that helpes relieve those issues.
@@sunflowerbaby1853 me too and migraines are awful
@@sunflowerbaby1853 try braiding them and unite both sides at the back.
I’m so glad I bought a terrycloth-lined shower cap! It’s made a huge difference in my hair. Never would have thought of it without these videos ❤
Hi Chris, thank you for your informative, no BS videos. I could do with some hair care routine advice. I can get away with washing my hair once or twice a week, BUT, I work out every day, and my thick, shoulder-length hair becomes a sweaty, frizzy mess. Because I only have half an hour to get ready, I throw it in a ponytail (without washing) and head off to work. As you can imagine, it’s pretty stinky by day 4, and it never properly dries out underneath. I used to wash my hair every day and let it air dry in years gone by, but don’t have the time to do that now. My hair actually feels healthier now that I’m washing it less often, but because it’s wavy/curly, I need to put product in it to define and hold the curl. As soon as I tie it back and it gets sweaty, I can kiss goodbye the idea of wearing it loose because it gets frizzy and the curl clumps get messed up. Any tips? Greetings from Australia 😊
Watch his video about gym days. It’s one with Emily in Paris widget.
No shampoo on the ends! I recently just learned this and I am about halfway through my life. Hair goes downhill at the halfway mark 😔
I've tried multiple times to skip days washing my hair...but my scalp breaks out terribly when I do 😩 if I wash daily the breakouts go away. I'd love to skip days, but honestly I always feel so much cleaner when I wash everything, especially in the summer.
Chris, i've hated my hair for so long since i've lost atleast half of it due to anemia, rapid weight loss, etc. I still have a good amount and it doesn't look bad at all but i always kept thinking of what it used to be. i've purchased the products you recommended and it completely changed my hair. i am in love with my hair again! i get excited for wash days since your routine is so simple yet it yields such good results. thank you thank you!!
Hello Nawrin, may i ask which Products you bought? Thank you :-)
@@stefanienoa4674 sure! I bought the redken volume injection shampoo and conditioner (in the pink bottle) and the pureology leave in conditioner. I already have a hair oil from Aveda that I use for my ends. My hair is on the finer side so these have worked beautifully for me
Another viewer saying Thank you!
Not only is my hair condition improving, so is my bank balance because, even with buying slightly more expensive better quality products, I'm using less of them & not having to use shower/drier as often saves on utility bills too.
Really appreciate your expert yet easy to understand advice.
You are the most honest person in the hair industry..love your channel.
I have never used a "hair mask". I have very long (down past my waist), curly, dry hair. I also color my hair in three shades (which I am positive adds to the dryness). I receive daily compliments on my hair and try to take good care of it the best I can. What type of "hair mask" would you recommend? Thank you. LOVE your videos.
I'm subscribing because you sound legit. Not like other so-called "gurus". It never really helped my hair. I tried your routine just yesterday and my hair feels so clean and nice and light. And I don't have a hair fall yet! Now I'm gonna wait a day or two to see if it doesn't get too oily too much and see if I can get by til end of the week before washing. I mean just not seeing a single hair fall I'm already blown away.
Hey professor! I'm an avid follower with a question: Can I use Olaplex 3 on never dyed/bleached hair? I'm having a bit of breakage lately
I have been implementing a lot of your advice. I’m using redken shampoo, conditioner, and split end treatment, I’m wearing a silk sleep cap, I bought a wet brush and I bought the redken blow out product for when I dry my hair (previously I almost always air dried). And I’m not vigorously rubbing my hair with a towel. I’m hoping to get some extra length that I lost through colouring my hair.
I went into this video thinking I was going to learn so many of my bad habits. But most of these things have been taught to me by my mum :0 I'm basically doing most of these things. I hate the old hair ties, so the moment my mum gave me a scrunchy I was stoked :>
Thank you for this great video! I hope everyone will be good to their hair
I didn’t know most 🥺
@@kngil91 oh no :< But now you do! Hope you will have super hair soon!
Last tip i didnt know looking forward to try that out :) Unluckily Ive to wash them a lot cause I work in a superdirty environment :/ guess more masks then ^^
I’m cleaning my brushes / combs since I was in school .. it’s like washing clothes 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks! Please, please do a video on how to deal with tangles!
Yes! My hair is very fine. I wear it up mostly. If my hair is down, it rubs on my back and I get a nest of tangles in the back of my hair. I hate it. Why does this happen? Does it happen to everyone? How can I prevent it?
@@ErinCRN It happens to me... all the time!
Completely lost me at a "use brush instead of comb". The second I switched from brush to comb, my hair got a new life. I've never had any breakage with comb, when my brush was always full of hair. I'll be damned if I ever use a brush on my hair again :P
Same. I’m using a wet comb now. Lol
Me too!
yea with almost every haircare tip, theres exceptions, some hairtypes r gonna prefer x while some prefer y, im guessing this vid is just some overall tips if someone is experiencing damage and dont know where it comes from
I used to always follow the directions when I came to heat protectants but I never felt like I was getting the most out of it. I have extremely thick hair! I found the best way to make sure I was truly getting full coverage with heat protectant is to apply it with a fine tooth comb, section by section why my hair was still damp. It’s been a total game changer and I’ve been able to maintain a straight style for 3 days without having to do touch ups. Would 10/10 recommend using a heat protectant and making sure you are methodically applying it every time.👌🏻
One tip was not to use a comb on wet/damp hair tho.
@@LK-lz6lk if you have tangles when your hair it wet then I would advise against using a fine tooth comb with wet hair….but my hair doesn’t tangle even a little so combing through my wet hair is effortless and applying heat protectant that way is the most effective for ME.
@@kriss.universe8899 I'm glad & don't doubt it works for you! You did reccommend it tho so, I just wanted to point out it's in opposition to his recommendation in the video. I appreciate you added in your reply: you don't advise for those with tangles - very helpful!👊 Thanks!✌️
@@LK-lz6lk I recommend using heat protectant. I never recommended doing it the way I do it. 🤦🏼♀️
"daily hair care sounds easy" what???
My brush is definitely not dirty. My comb is washed every day. I don't like brushes. 😅
Bold of you to assume I brush my hair that often 😝 **tucks 3 ft of tangled hair into a bun**
Oh my god this comment made my body hurt with anxiety 😭
😂
Thank you for all your tips! I’m 47 years old with thick down to waist hair. I always go to sleep with damp hair and definitely it doesn’t ruin your hair. I never blow dry or use any heating devices on my hair and I also have never dyed my hair and I think that’s the reason I have healthy long hair.
Oh wow. Can you give some of your tips on how you grew it out that long? I’m trying to grow out my hair but it wont go beyond my shoulder blade
Like you, I have really long hair, ( I can sit on it), but my hair isn't that thick, kind of medium . I haven't used heating tools since the early 90's, ( the old curling wands), and don't blow dry my hair either. I only occasionally dye my hair, but only every couple of years.
As a result, my hair is in pretty healthy condition, as nearly everything Chris said, my mother drilled into is as kids. I only really have to wash my hair once a week, except in summer, when it's twice a week due to sweatiness.( Australian, so our summers are really hot). Im not a fan of hair products, as I've always taken good care of my hair.
Maybe cause it's thick as well. Although my hair used to be so healthy as well when i didn't dye or bleach it. I have fine hair but a lot. Sleeping with wet hair didn't damage it at all
I changed some of the products I was using for the ones your recommend: Redken thermal protector, Olaplex oil etc.. and I am super happy. My hair is much better. Thank you for your videos! ❤
I never brush my hair... it's very thick, ad coarse. I was it max once a week. Never had to to brush it, even before washing less. It's dry, so it doesn't tend to tangle, even if 'greasy', for my standards.
I’m surprised I knew most of these! Gotta thank my 2020 curly hair journey for that I guess. Thank you for the wonderful video!
I’m going to be honest. I got my first haircut this week in a year and 8 months. I’ve had a lot going on with a family members health then I was diagnosed with stage 4 hormonal breast cancer. I’m not on chemo but I am on endocrine therapy. I am actually doing really good but in the last month my hair started thinning out on the sides. I follow the curly girl method (I can’t style right now, but still follow the method). I baby my hair. I prefer a dry cut so the only time a flat iron touches my hair is when I get a haircut. I had the stylist go through my hair to help me look for bald spots and see where all it is thinning. I’ve got a lot of hair so it is not noticeable until I pull my hair up on the top of my head. She was shocked with the health of my hair for not getting a haircut is so long. She couldn’t find any split ends. All she had to trim was half an inch of hair that was starting to look dried out. I follow almost everything you said in the video. My hair is the healthiest it’s ever been since starting the curly girl method about 3 years ago. I wash my hair once a week and sometimes longer. I make my own dry shampoo but rarely have use it. If I need an extra wash within a week then I do a co wash or a very low poo shampoo. I do a bond treatment on my hair once a month to 2 months and a deep conditioning treatment every 2 weeks. I rotate my deep conditioning treatments with a hydration/moisturizing conditioner and a strengthening conditioner. Too much protein in my products start to make my hair feel like straw. At that point I have to wash my hair with sulfates to get the excess protein off my hair then it’s back to feeling super soft. Great advice on your video!
You are my mentor.
Thank you so much for all the suggestions and the hair improvements I have experienced.🧡
I literally never knew there was so much to hair health... That being said, I have very badly damaged hair and the last time I went to a hairdresser or got it cut was 2 years ago. It's not like I think about it ever. I suppose I can use some of these tips, thanks.
Do these women not work out? Not washing your sweaty hair for three days is disgusting. How about some practical advice
I tried the towel dry method with a regular towel because that’s all I have and it doesn’t work 😂. Note to self; invest in microfiber towels
Hey Chris! Thank you so much for the advice on cleaning your brushes! I use all the products your recommend for fine hair and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t go 2 days in between washing! Made a huge difference. Today is day 2 and my hair looks great!!!!
Some of these seem so obvious yet some of the mistakes are really hard to avoid. For example, I could never wear just a scrunchie or the invis thing for working out, or else my hair falls out of it constantly. Also, I have had hairdressers do the washing machine dry technique which is crazy. And lastly, curious if you have thoughts on the dyson airwrap in terms of a product that does less heat damage... ?
I agree a scrunchie has never held my hair up
I use two invisibobbles to hold my hair. It works
Oh, I love how earnest you are at the end, begging us all to tell all our friends to stop using shampoo on our roots! Thank you for caring about everyone's hair 🤩
stop using shampoo on ends* not roots 😳
Almost. You DO shampoo the roots/ scalp. Not the ends. Do the opposite w conditioner.
@@meslinabicakci😂😂😂😂she is funny
Ehhhh idk about this. Anyone who has wavy-curly hair knows to use a wide tooth comb OR a wet brush.
Why does hair frizz up when it's humid though? Isn't moisture supposed to be good?
Thank you Chris! 💕 I always struggle with dry ends. I NEVER knew that you were not supposed to wash your ends with shampoo. I'm a cosmetologist and literally did not know this.
My hair is a naturally fussy (Multi-textured, porous and dry) and I made do for awhile but between the breakage from BJJ and then post-covid hair loss, It definitely now has a story to tell. A couple months ago I decided to put a little more effort into taking care of my mop and I'm starting to see a difference.
Can you share your tips my hair sounds likes yours
PoSt CoViD hAiR lOsS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Chris, your videos and tips helped me so much! Thanks for that.
Only one thing is still not working. As you mentioned in this video, high humidity is the worst for fine hair. As soon as the humidity is a bit higher, I look like I haven't brushed my hair in days at all. Especially my white hair loves to do whatever it likes and not what I want. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks
I just bought pantene before watching this video.
Literally washed my three brushes and one comb while watching this. I always try to do it weekly on either Saturday or Sunday.
How do you get the white fuzz off the base of the brush?
He said to use a toothbrush, but even better, a denture brush for the hair brush
Soaking helps.. but honestly I just keep up with it so it avoids getting those. And yes a toothbrush is great for getting in between the bristles.
I have done every single one of these “don’ts” my whole life - I’m 54. 😳 I now have a shot at healthy hair - thank you. ❤🎉
