Hey, would you still recommend your older video about how to chelate your hair at home? And how could i avoid getting outbreaks on my face while wearing a bob with bangs?
So if I bought the Olaplex No. 3, with the assumption that it was a mask, because that’s how it was marketed...how should I use it? I don’t want it to go to waste.
@@Kendralovesskincare It says leave on for a min of 10 min-that’s exactly what I did last week (10 min then rinsed), followed with the shampoo and conditioner and it fried my already damaged hair. I’m at a loss of what to do next 😭
@@audaciousred I've been using Olaplex No. 3 for a long time, but my stylist told me how to use it correctly. If I was to pick up a bottle of this on my own and followed the directions, I could have really harmed my hair. That's a problem. Now anyone can purchase it from mainstream stores and websites, but the directions are sorely incomplete and misleading which is causing a lot of problems. Olaplex's website says: "Step 1: Apply a generous amount from roots to ends on damp, towel dried hair. Step 2: Comb through once and leave on for a minimum of 10 minutes or more. Step 3: Rinse from hair, shampoo, and condition." The directions on the bottle are basically the same, except they say, "Leave on for a minimum of 10 minutes. Longer if desired." So, it's confusing to many because Olaplex never warns users to not leave it on overnight or why.

Reading the directions on the bottle is not the end of the story.

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Can I actually use purple shampoo everytime I wash my hair? Some hairdressers told me not to use it more than once a week . Would really like to know your opinion!!!
I use purple shampoo every time I wash my hair, which is every other day or no more than 2 days. It gets brassy really easy if I don’t, but tbh, I don’t think it’s good for my hair
Well, one reason you should not use it a lot is something she said in this video. She said it will dry out your hair. Its more like a treatment and its better to do it once in a while.
You can use it more frequently if your hair tends to be very brassy IF you shampoo again after it with a very moisturising and nourishing shampoo and conditioner. If your hair is a level 9-10, I find the Fanola No Yellow shampoo REALLY effective, and if I used it more than once a week, my hair would go TOO silver / purple!
Olaplex is one of the best products to prevent breakage. It only needs to be on 5-10 mins on damp hair, then washed off, once a week max. Coconut oil, olive oil & argon oil are really good too, so are hair masks like a banana one or egg one. The Redken hair mask is good too, but all the ones she mentioned should be good to condition & repair the hair. With time (4 to 8 weeks as a guide, with weekly use). Also I just read today that if you have dry/ damaged hair, then only shampoo once a week rather than every day (most shampoos dry our hair out, so perhaps a gentle shampoo would be good too) Just be patient & hope that helps ❤🙏
@MsSharoth I use most if the Bondi Boost line (shampoo&conditioner, hair oil, mask, Intensive Spray and Procapil Hair Tonic) and really like them so far! Natural ingredients and very gentle.
I know I'm late in coming to this, but I really appreciate your videos. You're down-to-earth, open, honest, and you give sound reasons for why you do or don't like something. This video was such a revelation for me, specifically your unwillingness to recommend Oribe's products. They've been hyped so much and I've fallen trap to that. I'll look at different products from them and try to justify spending a ton of money on them. I have purchased their Dry Texturizing Spray and felt basically the way you do: not worth $50 (is a texturizing spray ever worth that amount of money???). It's amazing how effective marketing, beautiful packaging, and endorsements from certain "influencers" can be. Thanks for setting those of us looking for the best products for our hair free from that craziness (or giving us the nudge needed to feel completely comfortable saying "No" to them). Your thoughts about Olaplex No. 3 are also on point. You are clear in your reasons for not being able to recommend it and it demonstrates your integrity. Thanks for a great channel.
I’m so glad you mentioned about Olaplex no. 3! I looked at this from a local (I’m in the UK) stockist and their description literally says “the longer you leave it on your hair, the better it will be for your hair” 🙄
I was looking for it too. I went back and re-read the description box. It says that the coupon code can be found on her website ellebangs.com. I’m going to look for it now.
I did hair for 16 yrs ...I tried olaplex it honestly didn't do much for my hair ....if your looking for a cheaper alternative drugstore product that I love its loreal elive rapid repair ....I love it .....I agree with the olaplex 3 ...did nothing for my hair ...felt worse ..my hair is protein sensitive and that's important to know if you have protein sensitive hair ....I could go on and on lol ....I used so many high end products and nothing ever wowed me .....and their so expensive some if them ..dont disregard drugstore products if you cant afford 30 $ shampoo ....
I’m trying to order the Unite oil but don’t see a discount code for the 20% off you mentioned. When I put it in my cart there is no discount reflected. Can you help? Thanks!
@@Ellebangs FYI… The link you gave isn't to the "purple" oil, it is to "U Oil". For the oil you talked about, it is called "Blonda Oil". They also say it isn't purple, just the bottle is.
Olaplex, you can use it on damp or dry hair. Most people put it on damp, not too wet hair because that way it won't absorb too much. I have no idea about the length of time, but I sleep with it in & rinse the next day. Hope that helps somewhat. Much love♥️♥️🌎🌎
It's meant to be added to the colour/ dye/ lightner to prevent the hair breaking. You can add it to damp hair but only for 5 to 10 mins and then wash off. I don't know why anyone would want to leave it in longer than that. It's a bond builder not a conditioner. If you want to leave anything on your hair overnight as a mask, the best thing is a natural product like coconut oil. Even most conditioners aren't meant to be left in overnight! They can cause a lot of damage if left in too long (they stop the hair from breathing, like being suffocated). Hope that helps.
@@mhairi3726 #1 & #2 are for adding to color, #3 is for at home use. But she did say they basically watered it down due to misuse. I personally have gotten great results with #3, I probably rinsed it out repeatedly bit by bit. Much love♥️♥️🌎🌎
From personal experience I would use Olaplex No3 only for 10-15 mins before shampoo/conditioner. I had highlights put in my hair and used this product as it says on the bottle once a week for month and my hair felt amazing. Two months later i had a full balayage done and used this product as a “mask” and my hair is way more dry :(
Yes please more on ethnic hair . I' m hispanic (dominican and relax my hair but use Olaplex and hydrate and trim my ends but Id like more on true moisture at the chemistry level info videos . Love your channel . 💗
I think it’s absolutely important to note that all these products are great and will certainly help your hair both look and feel better, but the only way to TRULY heal your hair and stop damaged ends from breaking long term is to cut your hair and to keep up with regular trims.
I got the whole olaplex line and I feel like it didn’t help my hair at all, and actually weighed it down more! I do like the oil but I don’t like the yellow oil color on my blonde hair:( I’m using living proof products right now, and I’m really liking them!
Would totally love seeing a spa routine just to pamper my hair 💙 Love your content, stay safe! Edit: also, I would love to know how you recommend using the Olaplex no.7 (on towel-dry hair, dry, mid-length to ends or just ends)? I got one as a promotional gift recently and haven't used it yet.
Sorry, but I literally saw my hair get repaired with No. 3; and I used it on clean dry hair, in order not to dilute it further and left it on for 24 hours re-applying and keeping it covered. I knew the active ingredient in the No.3 was much much less than the No. 1 or 2 and I thought why dilute it further with water? I did not believe in it for a second, but it worked, when I applied it the way I did. I suspect it would have not worked as well in the 10 minutes as per instructed on bottle. I apologize, but I have to disagree, because sometimes we can make the most of certain actives by using them differently. I think, Olaplex should listen to people who use it in different ways and maybe update their mode of usage. Until the day, I justify to purchase the No.1 and 2 , I will continue to use the No. 3 in the way I find it works the best. Thank you Elle, this is not about you, it is an overall rant 🙄
They literally said the product is not designed to do much after 40 minutes in your hair and that leaving it overnight can cause fungus, but I'm sure you cracked the code Alanca and have figured out something the literal creators of the product somehow missed. No only that but the product literary works more efficiently on damp hair bc it designed to penetrate the hair better when it's wet, bc it is the diluted version of n3 that goes on wet hair unlike n1, but nooo why follow instructions? You are tooo smart for that aren't you Alanca? they definiteeeely need it listen to you. You are special and different and not like other girls you ignore manufacturers' instructions, good for you.
I've used no. 3 several times and have never had issues. I just recently purchased the new No. 0 to use before the 3 and didn't notice a difference in how the 3 felt. I've also left 3 in overnight and didn't notice a difference versus when I only have it on 20 min. I think 20 min or so is plenty. Also, recently I found a dupe at Ulta that I find works very well and is cheaper. Not the same ingredients I'm sure but I can't tell a difference in the way my hair feels. It's call uberliss bond sustainer. I also use olaplex shampoo and conditioner sometimes. I have used the green biolage pack and didn't care for it. I do like the Nioxin masque. It feels hydrating. I have fine, damaged, bleached long hair and am always looking for hydrating/healing products. It's overwhelming because there's so much out there and I have tried sooooo many. I will be trying the ouai detox shampoo soon however I heard Neutrogena cleansing shampoo works just as well so I'll be trying both. Just my thoughts and experiences.
🥊 Sylvia...Coming from a professional can you explain how to use olaplex 3 I've heard everything and the bottle says leave on long as you want to I'm so confused alot if stylist say different things I want your take on it please ! Thanks Sylvia 🥰
Hi Silvia. I signed up for monat under your link probably close to 4 years ago. I am shocked that you didn’t include the rejuveniqe oil in this video. Is the olaplex oil you mentioned in this video better than the rejuveniqe oil? I kinda wanna try it now
💙💙💙💙! I have brunette hair. I love the matrix biolage dark envy shampoo and conditioner. It's a green shampoo and conditioner that helps get rid of the redness in the hair.
Hoping you can help me. So many people love Olaplex and I have used most of their products as well. However, I looked at the ingredients in some of the products and they contain Dimethicone. Isn’t that a big no-no as it technically dries your hair out because it prevents moisture from getting in the hair shaft? I’m just confused how everyone loves these but technically based on the ingredients they aren’t the best for your hair.
Can you please explain how too much Olaplex 3 is bad for hair? I use it alot and I love the results, but I don't want to hurt my hair in the long run. I sleep in it and use it as a leave in treatment. I also have #2 that a stylist friend gave me and use it the same way without any problems.
Thanks so much for acknowledging the lack of training in ethnic hair! I have asian 2b/2c hair and got blonde balayage for about two years... I don't think my blonde specialists (both caucasian blonde women) really understood or were able to communicate with me why I wasn't able to get to the level or tone I needed, and also did not sufficiently emphasize the need to heal my hair especially with how many levels I had lifted.
Just noticed that the Kevin Murphy product you mentioned during the same time as this comment isn't linked in the description -- can you add it please? "Ethnic" hair here 🙋🏻♀️
follow asian person or someone who does asian hair alot. It's ok to watch other hairstylists but some of the stuff wont work for you. I learned Kevin Murphy was not effective on my hair like Redken.
Suuuuper useful video! Thank you. Does purple shampoo help with brassiness when you have bleached hair, but the level is something around 8 (80%) and 9 (20%)? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and favs. Having looked at the ingredients and percentages of Olapex products I was under the impression that Olaplex no3 was a diluted version of no2... has it changed? 🌸
Exactly what I heard as well and what is her take as a professional on how to apply # 3 to hair and #7 the oil ???edit meaning I heard it was watered down version of number 2 as well but would love to know how to use it I've had alot of hair stylist tell me different ways to use it I'm so confused about it all
Omg! Thank you for your Input on Olaplex #3! I’ve seen so many great reviews and been told to sleep over night with it. Well I used it, and I did leave it in over night, and for hours thinking it would restore my bleached hair. I did this twice a week. By the third week, I was having major breakage. I was losing so much hair each wash and each time I would comb through my hair. It a was bad. So bad I had clumps of breakage and my hair was felt more damaged. I had no idea why, then it dawned on me the only change to my regimen was adding olaplex #3. I ended up cutting my hair so short. I had to. I emailed olaplex and they said there is no ingredient that can cause breakage and suggested to use Malibu clarify package. I’ve read reviews on Amazon saying the same experience I had. But people are thinking it’s not a legit olaplex product on Amazon. I bought my directly through Olaplex. I even jumped on TH-cam searching for anyone else having this experience using Olaplex 3. I seen this video having no idea you were gonna be the first on TH-cam to bring up the negative results using Olaplex.
I use number 3 twice a week and its healed my hair completely from bleach breakage, have you used it correctly as a lot of people get confused how to use it and then it doesn't work? Xx
Yes, I am following for advice as well as too the best products for thinning/women's hair loss due to health conditions and Biotin and other supplements have not worked. Please advise. Thank you! 🙌

Hey, sorry to hear about your salon closing, that must be really upsetting for you. Keep your chin up! Everyone is in the same boat and there's a lot worse going in the world right now, so be thankful to still be alive. I know I am! Try to gain a different perspective on life. And thanks for the tips, it helps. I try to use as much Natural Products as I can, and stuff I've already got, especially in the kitchen. Food is good for on the body as well as inside it! But I'll keep these in mind for the future. Take care & all the best ❤🙏
Hi Elle - you mentioned in your video 20 percent off of unite products? I went on to place an order and only seen the code for a free face mask (which is awesome and cute but I didn’t know if maybe I heard your video wrong or I missed the code?) thanks I just wanted to check before placing an order! I am excited to try these products you mentioned!!
Honestly, I was kinda intimidated by Oribe until I purchased their Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner, and they’re so amazing on my hair. However at the same time, I can agree that they’re very pricey for their performance.
💙 Thanks Silviya for the recommendations. I've decided to go blonde. Felt that the copper has faded a lot during lock down so it's a good time to go lighter! I got samples of oribe shampoo and conditioner and was so disappointed, I'm glad you mentioned them xxx
Thank you so much for the info on Olaplex no 3. I bought it a few weeks ago. The first time I used it I thought it improved my hair... after the third time I saw many broken pieces near my face and my hair was started to look even worse than before I bought it! I have olaplex no6 and no 7 and have to say the same thing. At first worked well then a week or so later my hair is not improving. I'm still on the hunt for something that will improve my fine curly color treated hair that is always breaking. :(
I’m a hairdresser, loved all the products at first. I had a good inch taken off about 2 weeks after I started using it, and within 2-3 weeks I needed more off. Usually I take half and inch every 3-5 months depending so I was shocked at how quickly my ends went gross on the ends. It didn’t do this when I used pureology for the 3 years prior. I’ve switched back, am gonna get a good trim this week and not use it anymore. I used it all correctly but my hair just didn’t like it at all.
🥊Had one sylist tell me olaplex 3 if used before bleach process it makes it harder to break through the hair the get the bleach to work correctly ,but bottle and company says leave long as you want
Great video! I checked the links below because I’m interested in the Unite products but I didn’t see the 20% code :( I checked their page but at the checkout doesn’t show the discount either
💙💙💙💙💙! A spa video would be amazing!! I have just received my first Olaplex order which consists of #3, #4, #5, #6 & #7. The instructions on #3 are a bit confusing now. Basically I am able to use it once a week or for extremely damaged hair 2 to 3 times a week. Leave on 10 minutes or longer if needed 🤔. Could you please recommend the correct way to use this product? $28.00 for each product. I would hate to just throw it out! Olaplex is also offering #0 & # 3 for $28.00! I was about to order this duo until I just saw your video!! I purchased Olaplex supplies from Sephora. Hope you can help me out!!
Please share a video on products to use to help reduce hair fall . Since moving to the Bay Area I’m experiencing a lot of hair fall. Thanks and love your videos!!
Olaplex #3... so true!! I was told that I could never leave it in too long so I left it for for 2 days & my hair broke off. 🤬 It took 3yrs+ to grow it back. It worked great when I used it for 10 mins as recommended though.
Yes please spa routine!! Thank you so much for your channel..your honesty...Also how did you get the reddish tone in the side/bottom of your hair is it a toner? I'm a pale blonde need to add some dimension!!❤❤❤you stay safe Alyssia

It says on the bottle use it on damp hair for atleast 10 mins before washing with shampoo and conditioner
I think it’s absolutely important to note that all these products are great and will certainly help your hair both look and feel better, but the only way to TRULY heal your hair and stop damaged ends from breaking long term is to cut your hair and to keep up with regular trims.
I got the whole olaplex line and I feel like it didn’t help my hair at all, and actually weighed it down more! I do like the oil but I don’t like the yellow oil color on my blonde hair:( I’m using living proof products right now, and I’m really liking them!
I wanted to get the oil, but now that you mentioned the yellow oil color going on blonde hair, it sounds undesirable lol thanks, I’ll skip it
same. didnt help at all
It made my hair break, fall out, and ruined my scalp
Would totally love seeing a spa routine just to pamper my hair 💙
Love your content, stay safe!
Edit: also, I would love to know how you recommend using the Olaplex no.7 (on towel-dry hair, dry, mid-length to ends or just ends)? I got one as a promotional gift recently and haven't used it yet.
Yes would love to know this as well about olaplex 3 and 7 the oil her take on both on how to correctly use
Sorry, but I literally saw my hair get repaired with No. 3; and I used it on clean dry hair, in order not to dilute it further and left it on for 24 hours re-applying and keeping it covered. I knew the active ingredient in the No.3 was much much less than the No. 1 or 2 and I thought why dilute it further with water? I did not believe in it for a second, but it worked, when I applied it the way I did. I suspect it would have not worked as well in the 10 minutes as per instructed on bottle. I apologize, but I have to disagree, because sometimes we can make the most of certain actives by using them differently. I think, Olaplex should listen to people who use it in different ways and maybe update their mode of usage. Until the day, I justify to purchase the No.1 and 2 , I will continue to use the No. 3 in the way I find it works the best. Thank you Elle, this is not about you, it is an overall rant 🙄
They literally said the product is not designed to do much after 40 minutes in your hair and that leaving it overnight can cause fungus, but I'm sure you cracked the code Alanca and have figured out something the literal creators of the product somehow missed. No only that but the product literary works more efficiently on damp hair bc it designed to penetrate the hair better when it's wet, bc it is the diluted version of n3 that goes on wet hair unlike n1, but nooo why follow instructions? You are tooo smart for that aren't you Alanca? they definiteeeely need it listen to you. You are special and different and not like other girls you ignore manufacturers' instructions, good for you.
@@Andrea-dm4gd 😭 oh my God I didn't expect such a ruthless roast in the comment section
I would love to hear what your fav dry shampoo is sometime.
I’m also so sorry to hear your salon had to close 😢
I've used no. 3 several times and have never had issues. I just recently purchased the new No. 0 to use before the 3 and didn't notice a difference in how the 3 felt. I've also left 3 in overnight and didn't notice a difference versus when I only have it on 20 min. I think 20 min or so is plenty. Also, recently I found a dupe at Ulta that I find works very well and is cheaper. Not the same ingredients I'm sure but I can't tell a difference in the way my hair feels. It's call uberliss bond sustainer. I also use olaplex shampoo and conditioner sometimes. I have used the green biolage pack and didn't care for it. I do like the Nioxin masque. It feels hydrating. I have fine, damaged, bleached long hair and am always looking for hydrating/healing products. It's overwhelming because there's so much out there and I have tried sooooo many. I will be trying the ouai detox shampoo soon however I heard Neutrogena cleansing shampoo works just as well so I'll be trying both. Just my thoughts and experiences.
can you recommend s few of your favs? I agreed with all of your comments on the products recommended ... I need down to earth non sponsored advice!
VERY excited for you on your new adventure and path in life! Proud of you taking that jump girl and wishing you all the very best!! ♥️
What is the Unite 20%code
I would also like to know how to use the argan oil and Olaplex oil. 💙
Do you also have experience working with curly hair girls?
🥊 Sylvia...Coming from a professional can you explain how to use olaplex 3 I've heard everything and the bottle says leave on long as you want to I'm so confused alot if stylist say different things I want your take on it please ! Thanks Sylvia 🥰
No wonder Olaplex 3 hasn't been working the way it used to! Of course it's been reformulated. That's a real shame... 😩
Do you still recommend MONAT?
So sorry youve had to close shop! I have ethnic hair and you really helped teach me how to go blond from dark brown. Thanks for all you do!
Your hair looks amazing! I have dry fine thin hair and I need help !! What can you recommend
Hi Silvia. I signed up for monat under your link probably close to 4 years ago. I am shocked that you didn’t include the rejuveniqe oil in this video. Is the olaplex oil you mentioned in this video better than the rejuveniqe oil? I kinda wanna try it now
💙💙💙💙! I have brunette hair. I love the matrix biolage dark envy shampoo and conditioner. It's a green shampoo and conditioner that helps get rid of the redness in the hair.
Hoping you can help me. So many people love Olaplex and I have used most of their products as well. However, I looked at the ingredients in some of the products and they contain Dimethicone. Isn’t that a big no-no as it technically dries your hair out because it prevents moisture from getting in the hair shaft? I’m just confused how everyone loves these but technically based on the ingredients they aren’t the best for your hair.
I’m with you .. my hair hates silicones 🥺
Can you please explain the correct way to use #3?
Your skin looks amazing. What makeup products are you using?
Can you please explain how too much Olaplex 3 is bad for hair? I use it alot and I love the results, but I don't want to hurt my hair in the long run. I sleep in it and use it as a leave in treatment. I also have #2 that a stylist friend gave me and use it the same way without any problems.
How do you get the discount at unite?
The hair products you recommend are really expensive!
It’s so sad how 😞 she’s just being so hater to Oribe 😏 Because they didn’t help them! maybe they was helping different people different stages ✌🏾
Spa hair routine... yes please 💙
can you pls make a video of cheaper recommendations??
Yessss!!! 🥳 love this topic!! Thank you!! Oh, and 💙
What is a good hair straightener & heat protector? I have thick hair . Sending hugs back at ya & enjoy the summer. Thanks so much.
Should I use a oil before I comb my hair are a detangler spray first? Thank you
what do you think of Living proof?
So are you all having an intermediate nervous breakdown right now? I feel so taken advantage of; My local salon where I was going closed too....🥺🥰
Thanks so much for acknowledging the lack of training in ethnic hair! I have asian 2b/2c hair and got blonde balayage for about two years... I don't think my blonde specialists (both caucasian blonde women) really understood or were able to communicate with me why I wasn't able to get to the level or tone I needed, and also did not sufficiently emphasize the need to heal my hair especially with how many levels I had lifted.
Just noticed that the Kevin Murphy product you mentioned during the same time as this comment isn't linked in the description -- can you add it please? "Ethnic" hair here 🙋🏻♀️
follow asian person or someone who does asian hair alot. It's ok to watch other hairstylists but some of the stuff wont work for you. I learned Kevin Murphy was not effective on my hair like Redken.
What is the 20% discount code for Unite? I did not see it listed below. Thank you so much for all your help and information. 💓
Suuuuper useful video! Thank you. Does purple shampoo help with brassiness when you have bleached hair, but the level is something around 8 (80%) and 9 (20%)? Thanks!
Yes
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and favs. Having looked at the ingredients and percentages of Olapex products I was under the impression that Olaplex no3 was a diluted version of no2... has it changed? 🌸
Exactly what I heard as well and what is her take as a professional on how to apply # 3 to hair and #7 the oil ???edit meaning I heard it was watered down version of number 2 as well but would love to know how to use it I've had alot of hair stylist tell me different ways to use it I'm so confused about it all
Omg! Thank you for your Input on Olaplex #3! I’ve seen so many great reviews and been told to sleep over night with it. Well I used it, and I did leave it in over night, and for hours thinking it would restore my bleached hair. I did this twice a week. By the third week, I was having major breakage. I was losing so much hair each wash and each time I would comb through my hair. It a was bad. So bad I had clumps of breakage and my hair was felt more damaged. I had no idea why, then it dawned on me the only change to my regimen was adding olaplex #3. I ended up cutting my hair so short. I had to. I emailed olaplex and they said there is no ingredient that can cause breakage and suggested to use Malibu clarify package. I’ve read reviews on Amazon saying the same experience I had. But people are thinking it’s not a legit olaplex product on Amazon. I bought my directly through Olaplex.
I even jumped on TH-cam searching for anyone else having this experience using Olaplex 3. I seen this video having no idea you were gonna be the first on TH-cam to bring up the negative results using Olaplex.
Tons of breakage for me too, after just 10 minutes of no. 3! About to cry, since breakage was my problem to begin with-now it’s 100x worse.
I use number 3 twice a week and its healed my hair completely from bleach breakage, have you used it correctly as a lot of people get confused how to use it and then it doesn't work? Xx
Hi , I have lupus hair which is very dry and brittle. What could you recommend for me ? Also I am losing my hair too.
Yes, I am following for advice as well as too the best products for thinning/women's hair loss due to health conditions and Biotin and other supplements have not worked. Please advise. Thank you! 🙌
Curly girl method
This may be a silly question but how do you use the Olahair oil? Before blow drying? After flat ironing? Before flat ironing your hair?
You just reminded me i have to order another bonding oil! I went through 2 bottles already!! Love it
Hi Elle. What do you think of Function of Beauty hair care?
Thank you beautiful for all your tips !! May God bless you and your family always. You are an angel to a lot of us. Thank you 🥰
Beautifully modern design amazing design functional and watch quality you happy with excellent service video view and easy to work with very good luck dear dear god
The Unite oil link is different than what you showed. The oil was a purple bottle and the link white
I didn't know biolage was vegan 🤔
I feel like my hair is growing very slow as I’m getting older..any suggestions???
Helpppp
HGH
Do you still chelate your hair? Or do you just using a clarifying shampoo instead? Is it similar?
Yes wondering the same if she still chelates her hair
Hey, sorry to hear about your salon closing, that must be really upsetting for you. Keep your chin up! Everyone is in the same boat and there's a lot worse going in the world right now, so be thankful to still be alive. I know I am! Try to gain a different perspective on life. And thanks for the tips, it helps. I try to use as much Natural Products as I can, and stuff I've already got, especially in the kitchen. Food is good for on the body as well as inside it! But I'll keep these in mind for the future. Take care & all the best ❤🙏
Thank you for clarifying Oribe!!!! It is scent and packaging. The texture spray is so drying!!! Xoxoxo
The oils you recommend contain non water-soluble silicone's, after time won't they build up on the hair and stop the Argan oil penetrating?
Then use the anti-build up on her Amazon page.. or dove 🙀😽
Hi Elle - you mentioned in your video 20 percent off of unite products? I went on to place an order and only seen the code for a free face mask (which is awesome and cute but I didn’t know if maybe I heard your video wrong or I missed the code?) thanks I just wanted to check before placing an order! I am excited to try these products you mentioned!!
i am so confused and bummed to hear that about olaplex #3. can you elaborate on the correct way to use it?
💙 Have you ever tried any Shu Uemura hair products? I find them so hydrating on my hair :)
They’re good. Their shampoo and conditioner do wonder to virgin hair 👌
I would LOVE a hydration routine video!! 💙
Honestly, I was kinda intimidated by Oribe until I purchased their Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner, and they’re so amazing on my hair. However at the same time, I can agree that they’re very pricey for their performance.
Can you do a review on the wen care products. Or perhaps cleansing conditioner
💙 Thanks Silviya for the recommendations. I've decided to go blonde. Felt that the copper has faded a lot during lock down so it's a good time to go lighter! I got samples of oribe shampoo and conditioner and was so disappointed, I'm glad you mentioned them xxx
What do you think of DpHue? And do you know if grey hairs are covered with it?
Thoughts about pureology products for processed hair?
Thank you so much for the info on Olaplex no 3. I bought it a few weeks ago. The first time I used it I thought it improved my hair... after the third time I saw many broken pieces near my face and my hair was started to look even worse than before I bought it! I have olaplex no6 and no 7 and have to say the same thing. At first worked well then a week or so later my hair is not improving. I'm still on the hunt for something that will improve my fine curly color treated hair that is always breaking. :(
I’m a hairdresser, loved all the products at first. I had a good inch taken off about 2 weeks after I started using it, and within 2-3 weeks I needed more off. Usually I take half and inch every 3-5 months depending so I was shocked at how quickly my ends went gross on the ends. It didn’t do this when I used pureology for the 3 years prior. I’ve switched back, am gonna get a good trim this week and not use it anymore. I used it all correctly but my hair just didn’t like it at all.
🥊Had one sylist tell me olaplex 3 if used before bleach process it makes it harder to break through the hair the get the bleach to work correctly ,but bottle and company says leave long as you want
Great video! I checked the links below because I’m interested in the Unite products but I didn’t see the 20% code :( I checked their page but at the checkout doesn’t show the discount either
💙💙💙💙💙! A spa video would be amazing!!
I have just received my first Olaplex order which consists of #3, #4, #5, #6 & #7. The instructions on #3 are a bit confusing now. Basically I am able to use it once a week or for extremely damaged hair 2 to 3 times a week. Leave on 10 minutes or longer if needed 🤔. Could you please recommend the correct way to use this product? $28.00 for each product. I would hate to just throw it out! Olaplex is also offering #0 & # 3 for $28.00! I was about to order this duo until I just saw your video!! I purchased Olaplex supplies from Sephora. Hope you can help me out!!
Please share a video on products to use to help reduce hair fall . Since moving to the Bay Area I’m experiencing a lot of hair fall. Thanks and love your videos!!
Oribe's Silverati line for silver hair is awesome, but VERY expensive. I am going to check out Fanola products.
Olaplex #3... so true!! I was told that I could never leave it in too long so I left it for for 2 days & my hair broke off. 🤬 It took 3yrs+ to grow it back. It worked great when I used it for 10 mins as recommended though.
You should always follow the instructions:( 20 mins is more than enough
That’s crazy!! Sorry that happened :(
Yes please spa routine!! Thank you so much for your channel..your honesty...Also how did you get the reddish tone in the side/bottom of your hair is it a toner? I'm a pale blonde need to add some dimension!!❤❤❤you stay safe
Alyssia
Do we put the oils on wet hair and let it dry or put it on dry hair?
Sorry to hear about your Salon. Good luck with all of your future endeavors!! You are smart, creative, and driven.... this it the beginning! 💙
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Hair spa routine please 😃😃
Two questions...do you still recommend Monat line? Have you ever tried Briogeo products?
Watching this with my buzz hair, still enjoying 💜
