Cassandra, I have totally strait hair, struggling with hair loss, greasy scalp and frizzy ends. My recipe for taking care of greasiness is Ghassoul clay once a week. It cleanses the scalp without stripping it and hair is silky. 🥰
Hey Cassandra! Chemist with alopecia here. I'd like to make a few comments to your review: 1. The foam is more an added experience than a proof that the shampoo (or soap, or anything really) is working. Recently there's a big trend of products that doesn't foam but actually work wonders. 2. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, a person with oily scalp and hair loss should wash their hair every day, or every other day. That's because the oils can clog up the folicules and weaken it, making you more prone to losing hair. If you're worried about your ends, you can apply the conditioner first, let it sit, then apply the shampoo and rinse it all together. The conditioner is going to protect your ends from the shampoo, and the shampoo is going to help you wash the excess of conditioner. 3. Also, try to wash your hair more frequently with a more light-weight shampoo. It will also help to keep your ends from being stripped of its oils. 4. Please, don't add oils to your shampoo! 😬that can interfere with both the formulation and the products used to make sure bacteria don't grow in the product. I hope my comments are useful. I really like your video and I was anxious to watch it!
Very interesting comment. Especially #2. I've got an oily scalp and dry ends, but because I have a vivid hair color now, I can't wash daily. 🙃 Hopefully my scalp doesn't freak out too much...
I started using lityleextra reactivate serum for hair growth which has rosemary because my hair was swiftly falling out due to stress and similar reasons. I was actually just looking for anything at all to try, so this was recommended, therefore I went for it. Inside a few days, I personally saw noticeably less hair loss when I brush my hair. I also observed where I began getting patches of loss, there existed new growth. It actually irritate my skin a bit right on the forehead hairline, so I use a band to keep it from running down whilst also keeping the head tilted back during application. The irritation went away and has not returned, therefore if your skin is sensitive or only to be careful, I suggest a hairband to avoid it from running down to your skin. On the whole, I'm so satisfied with this serum and will continue to use.
I started using the Reactivate hair growth serum after a colleague's recommendation, and I'm already noticing less shedding and more hair volume. Looking forward to see the progress over the next few months.
The cocooniion shampoo helped in lessening dryness and frizz of hair. Also, using it along with reactiavatte hair growth serum has boosted my hair growth.
the hair loss i've dealt with, that persisted for years, has been resolved thanks to the coccoonion shampoo, applying coccoonion hair oil, and conditioner. after starting to use the hair growth serum of reeactivate, i've noticed tiny new hairs coming in. thank you for your recommendations!
Same recommendation here! I only wash my scalp and only condition from the neck down. Really helps with oiliness and prevents ends from drying out. Enough shampoo runs down hair to slightly cleanse when rinsing.
I feel like even with a dry scalp most conditioners can cause problems on the scalp. Keratin on skin for instance isn’t good and a lot of conditioners contain it. I’ve started using cerave cream on the scalp when I condition to fight the frizz in the root hair and moisturize the scalp so I don’t have to pull the conditioner onto the scalp and potentially cause build up and clogged follicles.
3B curls here. Couldn’t detangle my hair at all with only conditioner on my lengths. I literally need it till the roots to be able to detangle on my hair around my head area :D
@@Mondscheinstaub have you tried brushing your hair before getting wet and washing? For some reason I find it much easier to detangle when dry prior to my shower and then after brush goes right through but then I have straight hair.
Have you ever been to a curly hair salon where they show you how to work with your curls as well as cut your hair in a way that reduces frizz? That was the game-changer for me early on. I didn't even know my hair could curl I thought it was just a frizz ball until I learned and I never get anyone else to cut, treat etc my hair since except for people who specialize in my hair texture. Constantly straightening my hair in the past totally ravaged my very fine curly hair....
Okay this is crazy. About an hour ago I took a shower and thought if there was anytype of hair salons that can help me learn how to curl my hair ( my natural dam curly puffy hair lo) I didn't even think a place like that existed!! So THANK you so much for this comment you made! You don't even know how much this helped! Have a great day!
first rule of curly hair: put down the heat tools and blow dryer. I learned they are more trouble than they are worth and only ravaged my hair, which took years to recover from heat damage. I also had to learn to wash my hair a lot less than I used to. Now my hair has never been happier, because I fiddle with it less.
Your curly hair is fantastic. Go natural. It looks great on you. Some shampoos don’t foam up at all. Hate them. And don’t touch your hair so much. It breaks down your curls and makes you frizzy. I love your vlog. And we have identical hair except I’m going bald through a form of alopecia. I love this show
Try rubbing the shampoo between your hands until it foams up. Then distribute it at the top, nape, both sides then start to work it thru. You’ll use less product that way. ETA: cream or opaque products are usually less drying
Agreed, I have no issues with getting it to lather in my hands and then using in my scalp . I find that’s a good rule of thumb with all shampoos and cleaners 😊
Love you Cass! I’m no hair master, but I’m very gentle when I manage my hair. When it comes to scalp stimulation and washing of dirt. I’m NGL, I cringed at your aggressiveness on scrubbing haha. I also take time to brush it out. Starting from the ends to the roots. Like all experiences, mine is personal and I don’t lose a lot of hair. Thought I’d share!
Ditto. Cassandra, I'm certain that the frequency and aggressiveness you're applying with that massager - and the fact that it's rubber - is way too much stress on your roots. Scalp massage is excellent for hair heath but it needs to be with your fingertips and it needs to be gentle. Ditch the rubber massager! Although you don't notice it, the rubber has friction against the hair shaft (even wet, coated hair) and it's actually pulling at your roots.
Hey I’m a hairdresser and I’d recommend wetting your hair first before applying shampoo and lathering the shampoo in your hands first instead of applying it straight to your scalp - using too much shampoo can strip your scalp over time
I learnt this year to lather the shampoo in my hands first and it has been a game changer for the amount of product I was wasting and gentler on the hair so less knotting 🙌🏼
It's WILD to me that you got so shamed for your beautiful hair. You have the PERFECT hair texture! It's everything I ever wanted for my hair and I'm so jealous! I hope you can grow to accept it ❤️
Wow.. you seem to be so rough to your scalp 🥲 omg. With this plastic scraper wow, I always thought one has to be gentle to the scalp. But what I actually wanted to say was How Beautiful You Look with Your Natural Hair ❤❤❤
I want to help you like you did for me and my skin so here are some tips for you about hair care. Try to lather your shampoobefore applying it. Youll get easier distribution and less friction on your hair. Also try to only move your fingers sideways as you work tour way from the front of your hairline towards your neck. Your hair is especially fragile when wet, so cirkular motions will most likely damage your hair in the long run. Also avoid running your fingers through wet hair. This might be ok for curly hair though. Just massage your ends between flat hands only going down. I Hope this helps against your excessive hair shedding as it did for me. Greetings from a Greenlander :)
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! I’ve been using it for just over a month and I’m over it. My hair is not impressed. It’s not the worst I’ve used, but I’ve had better results with VO5. I really wanted to like it, especially considering the price point. I hope they come out with a moisturizing or repairing line🤞 Until then I’ll be sticking with Wella Fusionplex and Alterna Caviar moisture. (I go back and forth between the two) With all that being said I will say I do like the HA scalp serum and I will be repurchasing it. I was already using HA on my scalp before they came out with one for the scalp.
Try, only applying the conditioner to your lengths and ends. You don't actually need it on your roots or scalp, that can contribute to build up plus the pH for your scalp is different than your hair, conditioner usually has a pH meant for the hair :)
Honestly out of all the tutorials I’ve seen, Cassandra has gotten her shampoo to lather the most! Mell had the same problem where there’s very little lather, so it’s hard to know what areas you’ve cleaned vs skipped. I have scalp dandruff so personally, I won’t be purchasing this product. But I wish shampoo companies wouldn’t demonize sulfates so much. I need some suds!
I would really recommend the Miribel Naturals one, it’s similar no lather. I have scalp dandruff and can use it. I use it every other time or with just a little of my dandruff shampoo because it helps my hair be less fluffy/frizzy but doesn’t make the dandruff come back. It’s hydrating but kind of clarifying feeling on the scalp if that makes sense? I used it with a scalp brush.
I have oily scalp too and have double cleansed over the years. First wash is just to get the oil out, and second wash is really where the game starts. Shampoo gets foamy and generally more enjoyable to use. Of course I don't have TO haircare line yet but this technique has worked on me for many many years now - not stripping, just satisfying the sensory. Thanks for the review! ♥️
Great review Cassandra! That behentrimonium chloride in that conditioner is bomb! I definitely have to provide an ingredient/product review on this line! 💜
My dermatologist has suggested for me to use rosemary oil for my alopecia. He has worked closely with trichologists and is very invested in the studies done comparing Rosemary oil to rogaine and they were both found to be just as effective and Rosemary was less irritating to the scalp. I make my own boiling Rosemary and water and then spraying my damp hair after washes. Keeps really well in the fridge. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the density of my hair as well as tons of baby hairs in my hairline growing back. I tried soooo much before I tried this and nothing gave me the results I anticipated.
Same for me with peppermint oil. People need to stop expecting, that the hair would/could grow faster. I rather have thicker, stronger hair, then fast growing hair, that is fragile and breaks of easily.
@@itsagoodday2165 leaves. Essential oil is too concentrated. I boil my own like tea and then put it in a spray bottle and spray it in wet hair after washing and massage into my scalp.
im pretty sure u have already received tons of messages like this, but, r u gonna react to Kim's new skincare line? haha hoping to see and hear your thoughts. love your humor! thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Girl! Your natural curls are PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL! And if that is your hair with no product.... duuuuude. So pretty. I also have curly hair and am trying to accept and love my natural curls.
I really believe that one day you'll look back at the videos with your hair straight and will feel like you feel when you watch your old food DIY skincare 😂 My hair health improved SO MUCH after I stopped straightening it and accepted my curls. I don't know if you realize how much more damage you do to your hair doing this regularly can bring... I hope one day you'll find in yourself the strength to go pass the trauma and see how much better you look with you natural hair. ♥️ When it starts getting healthier then, it's going to be scandalous 😍
I love that you mentioned the square bottles!!! I use shampoo and conditioner bars nowadays and they’re the perfect shape to just put ANYWHERE in the shower, now when I buy something in a bottle and it’s ROUND? Nightmare zone.
The scalp massage brush she is using can be used wet or dry (dry with oil). When your hair is wet it will glide better. I use a electric one for my scalp and it helped with itchiness, dandruff and hair loss. (I also supplement Vitamin D3 + K2 and iron) I've been doing this for a few years now and my hairline got thicker and my babyhairs are growing out and my hair loss after several years didn't come back. By the way...hair that is falling out, is already in the exogen (shedding) phase. It does not fall out from any mechanic influence. It's different if your hair is fragile from lets say bleaching, because then it's breaking off, while brushing it. But she has a hormonal issue so brushing her hair wet, won't make her hair fall out more.
That tool was scary looking and she really dug in with it too and in aggressively. It made me shudder when she went to scrub her front hair with it. Please do not do that :(( The fingertips are enough. Maybe only use the scrubber one in a month if you really feel the need. The wet hair is very fragile.
@@auroras.2015 the way she was using it seemed like it was tugging on the hair alot of breakage can still happen regardless of what stage the hair is at while its wet. when your hair is wet it expands like a sponge making it alot more fragile and even that could promote breakage. using it while wet and with some oil is two different things. i still wouldnt use this on my hair while wet MAYBE lightly oiled.
@@amirrhodesve791 "Los Angeles-based dermatologist Jessica Wu is team scalp massager and would recommend anyone who’s striving for fuller hair try one out. “Studies have shown that scalp massage can increase hair thickness by stretching the living hair follicle cells and stimulating them to produce thicker, individual hairs, so I’d suggest them for anyone who wants to have thicker hair,” she says." I think she will be fine 😉 Those brushed are made out of Silicon and are soft and a bit flexible. It's not like a normal hair brush. They are designed for your scalp. In the end it's her choice and I'm pretty sure if she would feel her hair falling out more from that brush, she would have stopped by now.
Your curly hair is beautiful, as you are beautiful! You can completely rock the curls, which will reduce frizz in near future, since less heat will be applied to your hair when straightening.
I do the double cleanse method in the shower. First shampoo application won’t foam up as much because you’re getting the junk out. Like removing makeup/sunscreen. Then the second is the deeper clean/follow up. Making sure that all the nasties are down the drain.
Your hair is beautiful curly! I love it !😍 I’m a curly girl and totally understand the struggle fighting the frizz! And have you ever noticed that certain areas are not the same curl coil ? I struggle with the top of my head I have to wrap my finger around that section to make it match the other curls lol! I ended up having mine cut to shoulder length and I have a lot more body now , also putting light layers for my hair type gave me more Structure, at least for my hair texture . You are amazingly!!!!! fun !!!!! and so informative I enjoyed watching you thank you for all you do for us .
i LOVE this duo. I go to the gym often and in the summer go to the beach often/use spf on my scalp so i wash my hair more frequently than I'd like to (4-5x a week). I double cleanse my scalp by just using the shampoo twice and only put the conditioner on my mids to ends and it works super duper well for me I don't like the shampoo as a body cleanser. It's okay but I prefer any other fragrance free baby wash as a body wash instead I also tried their hair density serum. It's only been like 6 weeks and I know the hair growth cycle is super slow but I haven't noticed a difference at all with it really other then it just feels nice on my scalp I have wavy thin hair and sensitive oily skin/scalp for reference
Double cleansing gal here too 👋🏻! I just feel that it gets rid of the grease and when I come in for the second time the shampoo just feels nicer and foams up - I just love the sensorial experience.
Cassandra, are you lathering/ washing your head twice? You're supposed to wash scalp twice, because first wash is just stripping styling products, but the second wash is really getting deep into the pores.
Honestly Kassandra we want to see your curly natural hair more often as you have a beautiful curl and it really suits you ! And I said this before u mentioned your straightening antics !
You review says it. It is totally for me. I've supper supper sensitive skin. My scalp was really bad before using it. And it got worse, because I had to shower more because I work at the swimming pool. So yeah, like you said, for people who swim regularly. And the conditioner works also really good for me :) I finally saw my own texture of my hair. It wasn't strait all the time :) I'm happy you made this review. You confirmed it is a good option for my eczema prone skin that has to deal with the swimming pool on a regular bases.
I shake the shampoo bottle before I use it and it foams up more! Don’t know if I’m foaming it in the bottle or mixing some ingredients in that stay at the bottom, but it’s been working for me! :)
I was a bit shocked as to how much conditioner you used. I was told by a wonderful hairdresser that you need such a small amount of conditioner and that most people use way to much. She also said to only put on your ends versus the entire head. Maybe try this and see what you think. It has saved me a small fortune for my curly thin hair.
Your natural hair looks SO MUCH BETTER on you than the styled hair. I wish I had curls like that, I can't believe you don't like how they look. Yout hair is gorgeous! Looking forward to see more of it in your regular videos.
i remember you thrashing Dr mike for keeping the tap on in his video, Mind I ask what were you doing with that shower in the back in like every clip??👽 *Follow what you preach Miss*, ik we make mistakes some times but you seem to kind of overboard at times with your critique. also probably go easy on with the head massager don't take your anger out on your hair gurrll, and you are not supposed to apply conditioner on your scalp it will result in build-up 👻save earth 💜
Your curls are beautiful! Girl 🫰Please rock them loud and proud. The texture, the volume, the character. Your hair has some personality that you should strut.
Thanks for the great info, you get on your scalp pretty good with the scalp scrubber. I tell my clients who are trying to stimulate hair growth to not be too aggressive on the scalp bc you don’t want to break any of the new baby hairs that are trying to grow. I tell them to place their scrubber tool or fingers in one position and then massage, repeating that pattern all over the scalp. If that makes sense. 😃♥️
thanks for sharing your opinion! i love this type of shampoo, it reminds me of gentle natural formulas. its great for daily washes combined with a 'rougher' one once every few washes and a scalp peeling
Lil tip/hack for shampoos: Replace cap with one of the nozzles you get from an applicator bottle so that you can apply shampoo directly to the scalp. Helps get shampoo on the scalp directly so you don't have to scrub/work so hard and ends up saving you more product which in the end saves you more money as well.
Their hair density serum is good. I have used it last year and, after a few months (three, I think) I noticed an "aura" of untamed baby hairs on my head.
You’re beautiful regardless! But you would look soo beautiful with a slight curly cut 😍🤩🤩 not too much, about 2inches off and just some shaping🤍 I really do hope you start to enjoy your curly hair more ❣️
As a long hair loose curl girl that has blown dry and straightened her hair since she was 13 I ALWAYS USE 2-3x the amount of conditioner to shampoo!!! Don’t know why these companies don’t offer larger conditioners that way they run out at the same time.
Your hair is so pretty curly! You should highly consider wearing it curly. Straightening it is causing so much damage and loss to your hair . Be gentle with your hair and try not to scrub so hard
Absolutely agree... the fact that the shampoo don't foam was a no for me as I didn't feel cleansed after the shampoo, HOWEVER I absolutely LOVE the conditioner and will be purchasing it again, I have never agreed with a review more than this one, spot on my thoughts!
You're not supposed to put conditioner on your scalp, it's not healthy and will make hair greasier and weigh it down Shampoo - only on your scalp Conditioner (preferably a hair mask and not a conditioner) - only on ends, some hair masks work for the scalp too (if u have a dry scalp)
Cassandra! I would like to tell you how to increase the effectiveness of those products! (and sorry for my bad english, it's my second language) First, you need to really deeply soak your scalp before applying shampoo - this will make iteasier to distribute. Before putting the shampoo on your scalp, try lathering it with a little bit of water between your hands or even dissolving it in a cup - this is the best way to use less shampoo :D I think the Ordinary's shampoo may be a good product for someone who washes their hair everyday but still you need to use a stronger, clarifying shampoo once in a week or two to get off that build-up on scalp WHICH may be the cause of hair loss (the follicles can get clogged). This will make them shiny and fluffy again, aspecially for oily scalp, which I also have :3 I don't know much about locks but the general rule for better conditioning is to squeeze out excess water out of hair before applying the conditioner and then leave it for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. If you want your hair to be less frizzy but still hydrated, scrunch in a bit of leave-in conditioner before letting your hair dry :) I hope your hair will improve and you will fall in love with your curl again
Great video, I would love to see you talk a little more about haircare from time to time - product recommendations, ingredients to look for, etc. 🤩 Also just wanted to say that your hair is absolutely gorgeous and thank you so much for everything that you do🧡🧡
I had no idea The Ordinary shampoo and conditioner was new. I had bought it back in late March and have been using it til now. My hair is a bit less curly than yours and (now) I keep it quite short so the bottles last longer for me. The shampoo doesn’t make me feel as cleansed as I’m used to but I also love the conditioner as it doesn’t weigh my hair down and make more strands come out. Side note: I do have dermatitis and a bit of psoriasis on my scalp, and this did a good job of not irritating my scalp. Overall I love it and, as always, love that you made a video on it ♥️
Double cleanse hair like skin. The first wash doesn't foam because it's getting a bulk of the debris you wash out. The suds come on the second wash to get what was missed
I dont know why but I feel like if you facing issue with hair fall I would suggest not to finger brush in shower much during conditioning. Or pull much.Be gentel and once they are dry then brush out. It will help maybe to you too. It did to me at least. And yes try those hair serum. my hair is frizzy too and curly but not much but weirdly enough as well hehe. So because I already onces fried my hairs to crisp coconut like hair as teen I avoid heat styling. I keep them in a bun mostly. Out of sight out of mind way.. Or try to.
Cassandra just another suggestion, totally your choice but another thing that would help,whilst just getting your hair into a better condition, would be to cut it a bit shorter. As I got older (I’m 26) I noticed the longer my hair was the more it would fall out. It’s as if my scalp couldn’t take the strain/weight of my hair. Maybe go for shoulder length? This will also make it look thicker and fuller. I also mentioned this as a comment on your last hair related video - but castor oil and rosemary oil WORKS!
I live in florida. Our state is struggling with algae pooling up in our waterways due to all the lathering soaps and shampoos. I noticed this out in washington last year too. In national parks they use non-lathering soap for these reasons. Our earth thanks you for using non-lathering shampoos.
From my experience, if you have an oily scalp, you need to wash your hair with a gentle shampoo every day. Alternatively, if you want to skip 2-3 days of shampooing, it has to be middle shampoo for the first wash, followed by a gentle shampoo. This ensures that the scalp is thoroughly cleaned without over-drying the hair-similar to the strategy of double cleansing for the face. Additionally, I've found that shampoos containing niacinamide an SA are very helpful in controlling sebum.
CONDITIONER ON SCALP. I have seen a few people commenting about this and i have questions/comments. 1st thing i want people to consider is environment. I used to live in the Midwest/humidity and thought my hair was oily... But now in the west where its like 0% humidity a lot of times, ive had to change up my products and apply conditioner differently. My question. Is hair/scalp like skin? Why do we we wash and clean our face and then, moisturize moisturize moisturize... But when it comes to washing our hair, we just stop there and dont put the moisture back at our roots? Like its so important to moisturize our skin or it can dry out/overproduce sebum to compensate and then we get oily skin so why are people surprised that they have an oily scalp and do not condition it? So what ive come to find what best works for my hair in the dry west, is conditioning from the nape of the neck to roots and then when its all worked in I kind of flip my hair over my head and use any excess to get the conditioner closer to my scalp. I dont work it in like shampoo by any means, but by doing this, i get a good 4-6 days between washes if i do not put too much product in my hair. Now in Midwest I feel like i lived in the shower. 😂 I could not skip 1 day. Has anyone else noticed or wondered about this?
Hair that is falling out like that, is in the shedding phase. You can't "save" it, by touching your hair or scalp less, because it has fallen out already. What you thinking of is fragile hair, that is breaking of, like hair that has been belached. Cass has a hormonal issue. It's causing her hair to have a shorter growing phase and a longer shedding phase. I had the same problem years ago and I started scalp massages with peppermint oil (+supplementing high dosages of vitamin D3+K2). My hair stopped falling out and from massaging my scalp my hair grows thicker. Not faster but stronger. So she is not causing more hair loss.
Same problem over here: greasy AF scalp and super dry ends... I'm currently trying Olaplex 4 and 5 and I'm very very happy with the results. Also a good strong hold styling gel. Give it a go, might be worth it ;)
If I was as rough with my hair as you are Cassandra I would be mostly bald. Mine is so fragile. I’d love to be able to scrub at it like you do. I’ve had best results just giving up going with a solid shampoo and conditioner from a natural brand. And I can’t style it at all, heat melts it, tugging breaks it. And sadly this is the best it’s been. Hope you get to the bottom of the hair loss thing soon. It’s rubbish.
@@Aaarandom hair oil made a big difference for nine months until the doctor came at me with some nasty drugs that caused a lot of hair loss. Turns out it was really dry, although it didn't look it. In that period it actually gained genuine length. I was having to cut it, and it was filling in thickness because it wasn't turning to dust. To give an idea, washing twice a week and applying oil to the ends before and after washing only (and it never looking oily) I got through nearly three bottles of oil (200ml I think) in a year. It just sucks up oil and it vanishes. It's blonde too, so you'd think it would darken it, but it doesn't.
If you are really concern about your hair lost, please take and appoiment with a dermatologist. Your hair need a treatment, probably oral Minoxidil or at least Foam Minoxidil (the less Greaser). The rest of products could help with an inprovement for growth, but not with a genetic hair Lost.
I majorly struggled with oily hair, i can also develop dry patches of psoriasis around the scalp also. Plus dry ends. A good friend and hairdresser recommended to me to only use shampoo once, maybe twice a week, and just use conditioner on the other days i get my hair wet. Total game changer. It helped regulate oil production, and it stopped the development of flakey psoriasis, especially when i oil my hair prior to shampooing. Best of both worlds!
I've been using this as well for the past two months and I've loved it. After drying with a microfiber towel I use the dream coat for curly hair by color wow and my curls look amazing. They are much more bouncy and full but not frizzy.
To help your oily scalp try warm oil treatments with your fave oil once a week. Thank you for trying this product out, I was very tempted to buy. I have a wealth of hair knowledge, so drop me a line.
OOF here it comes bbs! A brutally honest review… And an apology to the editors that may or may not have had to work around my bikinis and pasties 😂

Cassandra, I have totally strait hair, struggling with hair loss, greasy scalp and frizzy ends. My recipe for taking care of greasiness is Ghassoul clay once a week. It cleanses the scalp without stripping it and hair is silky. 🥰
Hey, just wondering if you could do one of your company review videos on 3ina
@Cassandra Bankson what is this drawing thing everyone is getting messages about??
Hey Cassandra!
Chemist with alopecia here. I'd like to make a few comments to your review:
1. The foam is more an added experience than a proof that the shampoo (or soap, or anything really) is working. Recently there's a big trend of products that doesn't foam but actually work wonders.
2. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, a person with oily scalp and hair loss should wash their hair every day, or every other day. That's because the oils can clog up the folicules and weaken it, making you more prone to losing hair. If you're worried about your ends, you can apply the conditioner first, let it sit, then apply the shampoo and rinse it all together. The conditioner is going to protect your ends from the shampoo, and the shampoo is going to help you wash the excess of conditioner.
3. Also, try to wash your hair more frequently with a more light-weight shampoo. It will also help to keep your ends from being stripped of its oils.
4. Please, don't add oils to your shampoo! 😬that can interfere with both the formulation and the products used to make sure bacteria don't grow in the product.
I hope my comments are useful. I really like your video and I was anxious to watch it!
#2 the latter of this point just blew my mind.
Very interesting comment. Especially #2.
I've got an oily scalp and dry ends, but because I have a vivid hair color now, I can't wash daily. 🙃
Hopefully my scalp doesn't freak out too much...
Putting conditioner first 🤯🤯 why didn’t I know this??
Holy smokes! Thanks for such great comment. Do you have any other recommendations for hair growth outside monoxidil?
You're both boring unattractive normies. Go review garbage bags instead
I started using lityleextra reactivate serum for hair growth which has rosemary because my hair was swiftly falling out due to stress and similar reasons. I was actually just looking for anything at all to try, so this was recommended, therefore I went for it. Inside a few days, I personally saw noticeably less hair loss when I brush my hair. I also observed where I began getting patches of loss, there existed new growth. It actually irritate my skin a bit right on the forehead hairline, so I use a band to keep it from running down whilst also keeping the head tilted back during application. The irritation went away and has not returned, therefore if your skin is sensitive or only to be careful, I suggest a hairband to avoid it from running down to your skin. On the whole, I'm so satisfied with this serum and will continue to use.
I started using the Reactivate hair growth serum after a colleague's recommendation, and I'm already noticing less shedding and more hair volume. Looking forward to see the progress over the next few months.
In the past year, stress caused hair fall, yet now reactivaate serum helped growing it again.
The cocooniion shampoo helped in lessening dryness and frizz of hair. Also, using it along with reactiavatte hair growth serum has boosted my hair growth.
the hair loss i've dealt with, that persisted for years, has been resolved thanks to the coccoonion shampoo, applying coccoonion hair oil, and conditioner. after starting to use the hair growth serum of reeactivate, i've noticed tiny new hairs coming in. thank you for your recommendations!
Oily scalp, here! I'd recommend avoiding putting conditioner near your scalp. Apply conditioner to length and ends only!! Love you, girl! ♡♡♡
I cringed so bad seeing her applying conditioner to her oily scalp the same way she cringed watching gwyneth paltrow sunscreen application 🤡💔
Same recommendation here! I only wash my scalp and only condition from the neck down. Really helps with oiliness and prevents ends from drying out. Enough shampoo runs down hair to slightly cleanse when rinsing.
I feel like even with a dry scalp most conditioners can cause problems on the scalp. Keratin on skin for instance isn’t good and a lot of conditioners contain it. I’ve started using cerave cream on the scalp when I condition to fight the frizz in the root hair and moisturize the scalp so I don’t have to pull the conditioner onto the scalp and potentially cause build up and clogged follicles.
3B curls here. Couldn’t detangle my hair at all with only conditioner on my lengths. I literally need it till the roots to be able to detangle on my hair around my head area :D
@@Mondscheinstaub have you tried brushing your hair before getting wet and washing? For some reason I find it much easier to detangle when dry prior to my shower and then after brush goes right through but then I have straight hair.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR PROGRESS!

You optimizing her curly hair routine and vice versa
Have you ever been to a curly hair salon where they show you how to work with your curls as well as cut your hair in a way that reduces frizz? That was the game-changer for me early on. I didn't even know my hair could curl I thought it was just a frizz ball until I learned and I never get anyone else to cut, treat etc my hair since except for people who specialize in my hair texture. Constantly straightening my hair in the past totally ravaged my very fine curly hair....
I didn't even know this existed. Thanks for the info
@@Realzproductreviews there are stylist now that specialize in cutting only curly hair.
Okay this is crazy. About an hour ago I took a shower and thought if there was anytype of hair salons that can help me learn how to curl my hair ( my natural dam curly puffy hair lo) I didn't even think a place like that existed!! So THANK you so much for this comment you made! You don't even know how much this helped! Have a great day!
@@tierrabrightsmile3019 there are also books that can help like ''Curly Girl The Hand Book' for example
first rule of curly hair: put down the heat tools and blow dryer. I learned they are more trouble than they are worth and only ravaged my hair, which took years to recover from heat damage. I also had to learn to wash my hair a lot less than I used to. Now my hair has never been happier, because I fiddle with it less.
Your curly hair is fantastic. Go natural. It looks great on you. Some shampoos don’t foam up at all. Hate them. And don’t touch your hair so much. It breaks down your curls and makes you frizzy. I love your vlog. And we have identical hair except I’m going bald through a form of alopecia. I love this show
I prefer foaming shampoo too 🙂
I'm aware that it not foaming doesn't mean it doesn't clean but damn do I love the lather.
My hair is very similar as well and I am almost bald from covid. 💗
@@traceytrotter9934 I’m so sorry. Hopefully it will grow back. Is it alopecia (smooth as a baby's bum) or hair loss (small, fine hairs) ?
@@riohenry6382 Thank you sweetie. It is a Covid 19 thing. I am hoping for growth by my birthday in August. Still falling out...
Your natural curls (after you showered and didn’t style your hair) is ALL I EVER WANTED! Be grateful for your natural beauty Cass ❤️
Stop using heat on your curls girlfriend. Your curly hair is gorgeous! 🔥
Try rubbing the shampoo between your hands until it foams up. Then distribute it at the top, nape, both sides then start to work it thru.
You’ll use less product that way.
ETA: cream or opaque products are usually less drying
Agreed, I have no issues with getting it to lather in my hands and then using in my scalp . I find that’s a good rule of thumb with all shampoos and cleaners 😊
Definitely agree, I use innersense and its the same. Also the hair needs to be much more saturated with water .
also her hair needs to be wet not almost dry.
Love you Cass! I’m no hair master, but I’m very gentle when I manage my hair. When it comes to scalp stimulation and washing of dirt. I’m NGL, I cringed at your aggressiveness on scrubbing haha. I also take time to brush it out. Starting from the ends to the roots. Like all experiences, mine is personal and I don’t lose a lot of hair. Thought I’d share!
I was coming here to comment exactly this.
Ditto. Cassandra, I'm certain that the frequency and aggressiveness you're applying with that massager - and the fact that it's rubber - is way too much stress on your roots. Scalp massage is excellent for hair heath but it needs to be with your fingertips and it needs to be gentle. Ditch the rubber massager! Although you don't notice it, the rubber has friction against the hair shaft (even wet, coated hair) and it's actually pulling at your roots.
Yes!
Hey I’m a hairdresser and I’d recommend wetting your hair first before applying shampoo and lathering the shampoo in your hands first instead of applying it straight to your scalp - using too much shampoo can strip your scalp over time
I learnt this year to lather the shampoo in my hands first and it has been a game changer for the amount of product I was wasting and gentler on the hair so less knotting 🙌🏼
It's WILD to me that you got so shamed for your beautiful hair. You have the PERFECT hair texture! It's everything I ever wanted for my hair and I'm so jealous! I hope you can grow to accept it ❤️
Sometimes when the hair gets really dry it looks different xddd
I've always thought that women from the Mediterranean countries had the most perfect hair (Italy, Greece, etc) It's so thick!
Wow.. you seem to be so rough to your scalp 🥲 omg. With this plastic scraper wow, I always thought one has to be gentle to the scalp.
But what I actually wanted to say was How Beautiful You Look with Your Natural Hair ❤❤❤
I want to help you like you did for me and my skin so here are some tips for you about hair care. Try to lather your shampoobefore applying it. Youll get easier distribution and less friction on your hair. Also try to only move your fingers sideways as you work tour way from the front of your hairline towards your neck. Your hair is especially fragile when wet, so cirkular motions will most likely damage your hair in the long run. Also avoid running your fingers through wet hair. This might be ok for curly hair though. Just massage your ends between flat hands only going down. I Hope this helps against your excessive hair shedding as it did for me. Greetings from a Greenlander :)
yes! emulsifying the shampoo before using it has change it for me so much!
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! I’ve been using it for just over a month and I’m over it. My hair is not impressed. It’s not the worst I’ve used, but I’ve had better results with VO5. I really wanted to like it, especially considering the price point. I hope they come out with a moisturizing or repairing line🤞 Until then I’ll be sticking with Wella Fusionplex and Alterna Caviar moisture. (I go back and forth between the two) With all that being said I will say I do like the HA scalp serum and I will be repurchasing it. I was already using HA on my scalp before they came out with one for the scalp.
Hair series I’d love to see is you rebuilding your curls! I love your curly hair!
Just an advice for you to refuce hair shedding in the shower is to be s bit more gentle when detangling your hair
Try, only applying the conditioner to your lengths and ends. You don't actually need it on your roots or scalp, that can contribute to build up plus the pH for your scalp is different than your hair, conditioner usually has a pH meant for the hair :)
Honestly out of all the tutorials I’ve seen, Cassandra has gotten her shampoo to lather the most! Mell had the same problem where there’s very little lather, so it’s hard to know what areas you’ve cleaned vs skipped. I have scalp dandruff so personally, I won’t be purchasing this product. But I wish shampoo companies wouldn’t demonize sulfates so much. I need some suds!
I would really recommend the Miribel Naturals one, it’s similar no lather. I have scalp dandruff and can use it. I use it every other time or with just a little of my dandruff shampoo because it helps my hair be less fluffy/frizzy but doesn’t make the dandruff come back. It’s hydrating but kind of clarifying feeling on the scalp if that makes sense? I used it with a scalp brush.
I have oily scalp too and have double cleansed over the years. First wash is just to get the oil out, and second wash is really where the game starts. Shampoo gets foamy and generally more enjoyable to use. Of course I don't have TO haircare line yet but this technique has worked on me for many many years now - not stripping, just satisfying the sensory. Thanks for the review! ♥️
Great review Cassandra! That behentrimonium chloride in that conditioner is bomb! I definitely have to provide an ingredient/product review on this line! 💜
My dermatologist has suggested for me to use rosemary oil for my alopecia. He has worked closely with trichologists and is very invested in the studies done comparing Rosemary oil to rogaine and they were both found to be just as effective and Rosemary was less irritating to the scalp. I make my own boiling Rosemary and water and then spraying my damp hair after washes. Keeps really well in the fridge. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the density of my hair as well as tons of baby hairs in my hairline growing back. I tried soooo much before I tried this and nothing gave me the results I anticipated.
Same for me with peppermint oil. People need to stop expecting, that the hair would/could grow faster. I rather have thicker, stronger hair, then fast growing hair, that is fragile and breaks of easily.
You use rosemary leaves or oil?
What alopecia do you have?
@@SausageMunchingNinja I was diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia
@@itsagoodday2165 leaves. Essential oil is too concentrated. I boil my own like tea and then put it in a spray bottle and spray it in wet hair after washing and massage into my scalp.

Girl! Your natural curls are PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL! And if that is your hair with no product.... duuuuude. So pretty. I also have curly hair and am trying to accept and love my natural curls.
I really believe that one day you'll look back at the videos with your hair straight and will feel like you feel when you watch your old food DIY skincare 😂 My hair health improved SO MUCH after I stopped straightening it and accepted my curls. I don't know if you realize how much more damage you do to your hair doing this regularly can bring... I hope one day you'll find in yourself the strength to go pass the trauma and see how much better you look with you natural hair. ♥️ When it starts getting healthier then, it's going to be scandalous 😍
I love that you mentioned the square bottles!!! I use shampoo and conditioner bars nowadays and they’re the perfect shape to just put ANYWHERE in the shower, now when I buy something in a bottle and it’s ROUND? Nightmare zone.
I was really anxious watching how vigorous you were with your hair. I don't think it's helping reduce the hair lost.
cassandra your hair is so much more fragile when its wet... that hair scrubber brush thing is probably not helping with reducing hair loss.
The scalp massage brush she is using can be used wet or dry (dry with oil). When your hair is wet it will glide better. I use a electric one for my scalp and it helped with itchiness, dandruff and hair loss. (I also supplement Vitamin D3 + K2 and iron) I've been doing this for a few years now and my hairline got thicker and my babyhairs are growing out and my hair loss after several years didn't come back.
By the way...hair that is falling out, is already in the exogen (shedding) phase. It does not fall out from any mechanic influence. It's different if your hair is fragile from lets say bleaching, because then it's breaking off, while brushing it. But she has a hormonal issue so brushing her hair wet, won't make her hair fall out more.
That tool was scary looking and she really dug in with it too and in aggressively. It made me shudder when she went to scrub her front hair with it. Please do not do that :(( The fingertips are enough. Maybe only use the scrubber one in a month if you really feel the need. The wet hair is very fragile.
@@auroras.2015 the way she was using it seemed like it was tugging on the hair alot of breakage can still happen regardless of what stage the hair is at while its wet. when your hair is wet it expands like a sponge making it alot more fragile and even that could promote breakage. using it while wet and with some oil is two different things. i still wouldnt use this on my hair while wet MAYBE lightly oiled.
@@sirtsupirtsu exactly.
@@amirrhodesve791 "Los Angeles-based dermatologist Jessica Wu is team scalp massager and would recommend anyone who’s striving for fuller hair try one out. “Studies have shown that scalp massage can increase hair thickness by stretching the living hair follicle cells and stimulating them to produce thicker, individual hairs, so I’d suggest them for anyone who wants to have thicker hair,” she says."
I think she will be fine 😉
Those brushed are made out of Silicon and are soft and a bit flexible. It's not like a normal hair brush. They are designed for your scalp.
In the end it's her choice and I'm pretty sure if she would feel her hair falling out more from that brush, she would have stopped by now.
Your curly hair is beautiful, as you are beautiful! You can completely rock the curls, which will reduce frizz in near future, since less heat will be applied to your hair when straightening.
Double cleanse for hair is best too, second time you cleanse you will notice it should foam up more
I do the double cleanse method in the shower. First shampoo application won’t foam up as much because you’re getting the junk out. Like removing makeup/sunscreen. Then the second is the deeper clean/follow up. Making sure that all the nasties are down the drain.
Your hair is beautiful curly! I love it !😍 I’m a curly girl and totally understand the struggle fighting the frizz! And have you ever noticed that certain areas are not the same curl coil ? I struggle with the top of my head I have to wrap my finger around that section to make it match the other curls lol! I ended up having mine cut to shoulder length and I have a lot more body now , also putting light layers for my hair type gave me more Structure, at least for my hair texture . You are amazingly!!!!! fun !!!!! and so informative I enjoyed watching you thank you for all you do for us .
i LOVE this duo. I go to the gym often and in the summer go to the beach often/use spf on my scalp so i wash my hair more frequently than I'd like to (4-5x a week). I double cleanse my scalp by just using the shampoo twice and only put the conditioner on my mids to ends and it works super duper well for me
I don't like the shampoo as a body cleanser. It's okay but I prefer any other fragrance free baby wash as a body wash instead
I also tried their hair density serum. It's only been like 6 weeks and I know the hair growth cycle is super slow but I haven't noticed a difference at all with it really other then it just feels nice on my scalp
I have wavy thin hair and sensitive oily skin/scalp for reference
Double cleansing gal here too 👋🏻! I just feel that it gets rid of the grease and when I come in for the second time the shampoo just feels nicer and foams up - I just love the sensorial experience.
Watching your clumps of hair come out in the shower like mine does and that feeling that generates that sad face...i felt it to the core!😵
Cassandra, are you lathering/ washing your head twice? You're supposed to wash scalp twice, because first wash is just stripping styling products, but the second wash is really getting deep into the pores.
cassandra your natural hair is so beautiful
i would love a video on different actives/ ingredients for the hair that are beneficial and what for etc 💗
thank you for sharing, sending love ✨
Honestly Kassandra we want to see your curly natural hair more often as you have a beautiful curl and it really suits you ! And I said this before u mentioned your straightening antics !
Your natural curls are so beautiful!
You review says it. It is totally for me.
I've supper supper sensitive skin. My scalp was really bad before using it. And it got worse, because I had to shower more because I work at the swimming pool. So yeah, like you said, for people who swim regularly.
And the conditioner works also really good for me :) I finally saw my own texture of my hair. It wasn't strait all the time :)
I'm happy you made this review. You confirmed it is a good option for my eczema prone skin that has to deal with the swimming pool on a regular bases.
I shake the shampoo bottle before I use it and it foams up more! Don’t know if I’m foaming it in the bottle or mixing some ingredients in that stay at the bottom, but it’s been working for me! :)
I was a bit shocked as to how much conditioner you used. I was told by a wonderful hairdresser that you need such a small amount of conditioner and that most people use way to much. She also said to only put on your ends versus the entire head. Maybe try this and see what you think. It has saved me a small fortune for my curly thin hair.
I was going to say so: too much shampoo & conditioner.
Maybe being more gentle with less product would prevent roots from being damaged :)
Generally people with textured hair need more conditioner.
Your natural hair looks SO MUCH BETTER on you than the styled hair. I wish I had curls like that, I can't believe you don't like how they look. Yout hair is gorgeous! Looking forward to see more of it in your regular videos.
The curly hair balances out your face shape. It looks better than straight hair.
i remember you thrashing Dr mike for keeping the tap on in his video, Mind I ask what were you doing with that shower in the back in like every clip??👽 *Follow what you preach Miss*, ik we make mistakes some times but you seem to kind of overboard at times with your critique. also probably go easy on with the head massager don't take your anger out on your hair gurrll, and you are not supposed to apply conditioner on your scalp it will result in build-up 👻save earth 💜
Your curls are beautiful! Girl 🫰Please rock them loud and proud. The texture, the volume, the character. Your hair has some personality that you should strut.
I had a hysterectomy 18 months ago and the hair loss is insane. I feel your pain with this , I’m a curly girl too. Love your videos xxx
Hope you and Mel do a collab! Where she teaches you a new curly hair routine 😁
You look even more stunning with your natural skin and hair WHAT?!✨
Thanks for the great info, you get on your scalp pretty good with the scalp scrubber. I tell my clients who are trying to stimulate hair growth to not be too aggressive on the scalp bc you don’t want to break any of the new baby hairs that are trying to grow. I tell them to place their scrubber tool or fingers in one position and then massage, repeating that pattern all over the scalp. If that makes sense. 😃♥️
thanks for sharing your opinion! i love this type of shampoo, it reminds me of gentle natural formulas. its great for daily washes combined with a 'rougher' one once every few washes and a scalp peeling
Lil tip/hack for shampoos: Replace cap with one of the nozzles you get from an applicator bottle so that you can apply shampoo directly to the scalp. Helps get shampoo on the scalp directly so you don't have to scrub/work so hard and ends up saving you more product which in the end saves you more money as well.
When you leave your hair curly, it looks AMAZING. Those curls are soooo beautiful.
This was so helpful! I'd love to see a review of their "hair density" or caffeine serum. Thank you for always providing such fabulous content!
Their hair density serum is good. I have used it last year and, after a few months (three, I think) I noticed an "aura" of untamed baby hairs on my head.
You’re beautiful regardless! But you would look soo beautiful with a slight curly cut 😍🤩🤩 not too much, about 2inches off and just some shaping🤍 I really do hope you start to enjoy your curly hair more ❣️
Try shampoo mixed with a few drops of rosemary oil..by the way i love your curly hair 🥰🥰🥰
shower is running ..even when it is not needed continuosly.....same as tap water keeps running..... 🙏 pls be careful about it
You have beautiful hair. I think it's a softer look than having it straight. Keep it natural. 👍😘
Do you think that thing you scrub your hair with might be why your hair is falling out?
As a long hair loose curl girl that has blown dry and straightened her hair since she was 13 I ALWAYS USE 2-3x the amount of conditioner to shampoo!!! Don’t know why these companies don’t offer larger conditioners that way they run out at the same time.
FRR I have straight hair but I still use way more conditioner than shampoo
Your hair is so pretty curly! You should highly consider wearing it curly. Straightening it is causing so much damage and loss to your hair . Be gentle with your hair and try not to scrub so hard
Absolutely agree... the fact that the shampoo don't foam was a no for me as I didn't feel cleansed after the shampoo, HOWEVER I absolutely LOVE the conditioner and will be purchasing it again, I have never agreed with a review more than this one, spot on my thoughts!
Absolutely on edge waiting for Mell and Cass to do a collab. I just couldn’t cope if that happened 😂
You're not supposed to put conditioner on your scalp, it's not healthy and will make hair greasier and weigh it down
Shampoo - only on your scalp
Conditioner (preferably a hair mask and not a conditioner) - only on ends, some hair masks work for the scalp too (if u have a dry scalp)
I have to say that I really love your natural curls ❤️
your hair looks sooo much better curly! leave the heat!
Cassandra! I would like to tell you how to increase the effectiveness of those products! (and sorry for my bad english, it's my second language) First, you need to really deeply soak your scalp before applying shampoo - this will make iteasier to distribute. Before putting the shampoo on your scalp, try lathering it with a little bit of water between your hands or even dissolving it in a cup - this is the best way to use less shampoo :D I think the Ordinary's shampoo may be a good product for someone who washes their hair everyday but still you need to use a stronger, clarifying shampoo once in a week or two to get off that build-up on scalp WHICH may be the cause of hair loss (the follicles can get clogged). This will make them shiny and fluffy again, aspecially for oily scalp, which I also have :3 I don't know much about locks but the general rule for better conditioning is to squeeze out excess water out of hair before applying the conditioner and then leave it for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. If you want your hair to be less frizzy but still hydrated, scrunch in a bit of leave-in conditioner before letting your hair dry :) I hope your hair will improve and you will fall in love with your curl again
Oh and condition your hair only on length and at the ends - don't touch your scalp while doing that and your hair will be fresh for longer c:
Clarifying curly hair too often can be very drying. Even for us fine curlies.
YES CASSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE U MENTIONED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO AHHH
Hii
Pls try not to waste that much water while showering
Great video, I would love to see you talk a little more about haircare from time to time - product recommendations, ingredients to look for, etc. 🤩 Also just wanted to say that your hair is absolutely gorgeous and thank you so much for everything that you do🧡🧡
I had no idea The Ordinary shampoo and conditioner was new. I had bought it back in late March and have been using it til now. My hair is a bit less curly than yours and (now) I keep it quite short so the bottles last longer for me. The shampoo doesn’t make me feel as cleansed as I’m used to but I also love the conditioner as it doesn’t weigh my hair down and make more strands come out. Side note: I do have dermatitis and a bit of psoriasis on my scalp, and this did a good job of not irritating my scalp. Overall I love it and, as always, love that you made a video on it ♥️
Double cleanse hair like skin. The first wash doesn't foam because it's getting a bulk of the debris you wash out. The suds come on the second wash to get what was missed
If you want to try something I recommend Korean Brand Lador. The have good products and theirs ampoules made huge difference for my hair
I dont know why but I feel like if you facing issue with hair fall I would suggest not to finger brush in shower much during conditioning. Or pull much.Be gentel and once they are dry then brush out. It will help maybe to you too. It did to me at least.
And yes try those hair serum. my hair is frizzy too and curly but not much but weirdly enough as well hehe. So because I already onces fried my hairs to crisp coconut like hair as teen I avoid heat styling. I keep them in a bun mostly. Out of sight out of mind way.. Or try to.
your natural hair is so beautiful!
My gosh, your natural curl is awesome! I'd wear it as is...
Cassandra just another suggestion, totally your choice but another thing that would help,whilst just getting your hair into a better condition, would be to cut it a bit shorter. As I got older (I’m 26) I noticed the longer my hair was the more it would fall out. It’s as if my scalp couldn’t take the strain/weight of my hair. Maybe go for shoulder length? This will also make it look thicker and fuller. I also mentioned this as a comment on your last hair related video - but castor oil and rosemary oil WORKS!
Where can I find rosemary oil? Do you have a link?
You are AWESOME in curls! 😍
Great video, but why do you waste that much water? 🥺 It just made it almost impossible for me to watch it until the end 😪
I live in florida. Our state is struggling with algae pooling up in our waterways due to all the lathering soaps and shampoos. I noticed this out in washington last year too. In national parks they use non-lathering soap for these reasons. Our earth thanks you for using non-lathering shampoos.
Did you apply shampoo on dry hair at 7:45?? that afaik is a big nono and maybe why you feel the need to use so much. Hair needs to be thoroughly wet.
Looking forward to hearing your opinion on the Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
From my experience, if you have an oily scalp, you need to wash your hair with a gentle shampoo every day. Alternatively, if you want to skip 2-3 days of shampooing, it has to be middle shampoo for the first wash, followed by a gentle shampoo. This ensures that the scalp is thoroughly cleaned without over-drying the hair-similar to the strategy of double cleansing for the face. Additionally, I've found that shampoos containing niacinamide an SA are very helpful in controlling sebum.
3:28 OMG Cassandra! Your curls are so beautiful! 😭💖
I genuinely love your natural curls, I have all these years I’ve watched you 🥹😍❤️
CONDITIONER ON SCALP.
I have seen a few people commenting about this and i have questions/comments.
1st thing i want people to consider is environment. I used to live in the Midwest/humidity and thought my hair was oily... But now in the west where its like 0% humidity a lot of times, ive had to change up my products and apply conditioner differently.
My question. Is hair/scalp like skin? Why do we we wash and clean our face and then, moisturize moisturize moisturize... But when it comes to washing our hair, we just stop there and dont put the moisture back at our roots? Like its so important to moisturize our skin or it can dry out/overproduce sebum to compensate and then we get oily skin so why are people surprised that they have an oily scalp and do not condition it?
So what ive come to find what best works for my hair in the dry west, is conditioning from the nape of the neck to roots and then when its all worked in I kind of flip my hair over my head and use any excess to get the conditioner closer to my scalp. I dont work it in like shampoo by any means, but by doing this, i get a good 4-6 days between washes if i do not put too much product in my hair. Now in Midwest I feel like i lived in the shower. 😂 I could not skip 1 day.
Has anyone else noticed or wondered about this?
Do not run your fingers through wet hair that much it causes more hair fall. Hope it helps
i was looking for a comment like that... if i did what she was doing i would be bald ages ago, i got very nervous watching it :(
Hair that is falling out like that, is in the shedding phase. You can't "save" it, by touching your hair or scalp less, because it has fallen out already. What you thinking of is fragile hair, that is breaking of, like hair that has been belached. Cass has a hormonal issue. It's causing her hair to have a shorter growing phase and a longer shedding phase. I had the same problem years ago and I started scalp massages with peppermint oil (+supplementing high dosages of vitamin D3+K2). My hair stopped falling out and from massaging my scalp my hair grows thicker. Not faster but stronger. So she is not causing more hair loss.
Same problem over here: greasy AF scalp and super dry ends... I'm currently trying Olaplex 4 and 5 and I'm very very happy with the results. Also a good strong hold styling gel. Give it a go, might be worth it ;)
Omg I never realised how cute your natural curls are!! 😍 love it!
If I was as rough with my hair as you are Cassandra I would be mostly bald. Mine is so fragile. I’d love to be able to scrub at it like you do. I’ve had best results just giving up going with a solid shampoo and conditioner from a natural brand. And I can’t style it at all, heat melts it, tugging breaks it. And sadly this is the best it’s been. Hope you get to the bottom of the hair loss thing soon. It’s rubbish.
Have you tried protein? I don’t know but it might help strengthen hair
@@Aaarandom hair oil made a big difference for nine months until the doctor came at me with some nasty drugs that caused a lot of hair loss.
Turns out it was really dry, although it didn't look it. In that period it actually gained genuine length. I was having to cut it, and it was filling in thickness because it wasn't turning to dust. To give an idea, washing twice a week and applying oil to the ends before and after washing only (and it never looking oily) I got through nearly three bottles of oil (200ml I think) in a year. It just sucks up oil and it vanishes. It's blonde too, so you'd think it would darken it, but it doesn't.
Now off those meds and plotting doctors murder.
Your hair is so pretty! I recommend the foam or volumising lotion from Innersense for a light feeling but minimal frizz
If you are really concern about your hair lost, please take and appoiment with a dermatologist. Your hair need a treatment, probably oral Minoxidil or at least Foam Minoxidil (the less Greaser). The rest of products could help with an inprovement for growth, but not with a genetic hair Lost.
I majorly struggled with oily hair, i can also develop dry patches of psoriasis around the scalp also. Plus dry ends. A good friend and hairdresser recommended to me to only use shampoo once, maybe twice a week, and just use conditioner on the other days i get my hair wet. Total game changer. It helped regulate oil production, and it stopped the development of flakey psoriasis, especially when i oil my hair prior to shampooing. Best of both worlds!
Your curly hair is stunning!
