The fact that you’ve made dozens of videos trying thousands of different things on your hair (and testing all kinds of hypotheses) and people still comment the same 3 generic Buzzfeed article advices over and over in each video... sigh. I wish I had your patience lol It’s been amazing to follow your hair journey and also learn about mine in the process💕
honestly, your videos have helped me so much. you’re the reason i realized that there’s no point in taking ‘care’ of my hair so much if i can’t even wear it how i want to. thank you so much. your hair looks amazing.
Well, some people have not been around as long as we have and just stumbled upon one video of hers. They probably mean well and just want to help but doesn't know really how much she has tried
A tip: put conditioner on your ends then wash ur hair with shampoo but only roots then add conditioner again and wash it off. That way the foam and conditioner will clean ur ends nd it will be less damaging. Try it out
@@dela2612 not necessarily, in this case the conditioner is still cleaning the ends but without stripping it like shampoo. that's why people say to only shampoo the scalp, because the conditioner in the ends of the hair still cleans the hair suitably while nourishing it 👍
no but the "doing the deeds" advice is so necessary lol. i'll finish my 12 step skin care routine and apply all my serums and oils only to have homeboy scrape my face against the bed sheets 10 mins later.....foresight is important
It's the water girl. When i lived in Germany my hair fell out so much and it was so stiff und fuzzy. My skin was irritated and it was itchy. I even changed my hair care products but nothing helped. In Germany the water is very harsh and has a lot of calc. But when i moved to Asia my hair was reborn. I did not even change the products that i used to use but my hair stopped falling out and it was so soft and shiny, silky. I was shocked. So maybe thats why Asians have thicker, longer and healthier hair i thought to myself. Just saying that water makes a very big difference.
same, i lived in the italian part of switzerland and had beautiful hair but once i moved to the german part i changed nothing in my routine and my hair got so dry and frizzy. But i noticed all my products had the calcium buildup on the bottles after only a month so i figured the water is just SO HARD
I completely understand the balance between Straight and Curly/Wavy Hair, as you said "natural" and "chemical" products, being in a "no heat" cure and "using tools for weeks", I'm in it too, we feel different in both, we don't want to be just one of them, it's just the way we live with our hair :)
I'm so happy to see you using silicones! They're so wonderfully protective for the hair, even when you're not using heat! They protect against friction, tangles and water damage too! :)
I have gone through many many hair treatments. But the one thing that’s worked for me the most is the lee stafford hair treatment ‘for health that doesn’t grow past a certain length’. Honestly life changer, it’s a reasonable price. You can get it from Amazon, boots, Superdrug
your silicones video kickstarted my hair journey bc we have the same hair type. the frizziness of my hair takes away so much of my confidence and the journey for me isn't over but I'm so happy the styling products and heat is working for you!
Your hair routine is what my Indian mother has made me do my entire childhood. I hated it then but it's effective and truly works! Thanks for the insightful video ❤️
I have 30 bottles of shampoo, conditioner and mask in my shower, plus 5 hair oils and 1 leave in. I like to try everything. I finally found out a brand and is amazing and works for me😊. I don’t have a routine tho every time I wash my hair I pick what I feel like my hair needs
I condition my roots too!!! My hair breaks at the roots so since I started to use conditioner or a hair mask the new baby hairs have been looking healthier and better !
oils are but try them as a sealant, they don't moisturize themselves but they seal moisture in, so when applying whatever preferred leave-in conditoner or deep conditoner in your hair is when you should then add coconut on top and let sit or rinse out, you'll see such a difference
Wait so, wash, condition and then use olaplex? And you don't wash it out after? How much do you use, and do you do this every time you wash your hair? X
@@amie3365 yes exactly, I use a pea sized amount on either side of my hair through the mids and ends. My hair dresser told me about it and I’ve never gone back x
My hair looks like yours ‚without anything‘ it just explode and I look like Hagrid … no matter what I do. I just gave up and do nothing anymore and accepted that I‘m just a Hagrid-hair-girl.
I watched your hair story again before watching this video and I must say - your hair looks soooo much better now, I’m impressed! It’s shiny and looks really soft. I’m proud of you for finally finding what works best for you. I hope I figure it out for myself too 😅 🌝💛
If you ever need some new hair care video ideas you should look into the "capillary schedule" it's an interesting way to take care of your hair. In the simplest terms it's a schedule for what type of products you should use each wash day depending on your hair type and hair needs, like one week you use nourishing products, another week you use hydrating and once a month you would use strengthening.
You have such a good routine worked out already. It took me so many years to learn all the stuff that you do now. I'm curly and I use silicones and heat sometimes. Being flexible and trying new products and techniques is very helpful. Always learning.
my hair type is exactly like yours, and the only thing that actually did work for me was styling with the hair dryer just like you do! thanks for sharing your routine, i really love your videos :)
I've watched most of your videos but I'm not sure if I recall if you had mentioned anything about birth control. I know you did get blood tests in a video (and honestly, standardized blood tests don't make any sense to me because "normal levels" aren't even normal for most people. My iron comes back normal, but taking 70 mg of iron has helped my lethargy). Point is that hormones specifically affect the hair more than we give it credit for, not even considering external methods.
Natural products isn't always better. I've recently started to incorporate silicones and quats in my haircare routine again. I don't want silicones in my shampoo tho. But in the conditioner and leave in conditioner it's fine.
I just used silicone conditioner for the first time in a while and it worked amazingly with my argan oil! I'm so happy usually my hair is shiny at the roots but the rest is dry and frizzy looking if I don't use a ton of gel after showering (I have sort of wavy hair). The silicone with argan oil kept my hair from being frizzy and made it shiny and flat instead!
I can relate to your hair struggles 100% (I even have the same "golden blond" color). A while back ago it was so bad, that I even got emotional and cried, because NOTHING WORKED!! (and still doesn't by the way..) I used to color and style my hair and I thought that was the reason behind the frizz, then completely stoped everything that could do harm and grew out all natural hair (took good care of course) and turned out that they are just frizzy. They are not damaged, just difficult. Very, very difficult... I really like TIGI Bed Head rehab for hair (red one) shampoo & conditioner, if you are open to try even more hair products, then I recomend it ;)
The leaving hair soaking before conditioner is the most valuable lesson I learned from you (not from the cg even to i knew that before) my hair will always thank you
My hair gets a lot of build up on it so I shampoo the ends often because I find my hair feels healthier after. I also recommend using the Garnier Fructose 1 minute hair mask (the papaya one) because it made my hair INCREDIBLY soft, and I have naturally dry hair.
When doing oil treatmens, wash off the oil with a emolient conditioner and then use shampoo on your scalp :) You can even leave the conditioner for 15 min and then wash your hair normally!
I don't use conditioner anymore...I use hair mask for 30 min before washing (try Hydration Elation it is the best nourishing mask ever) wash my hair with Aveenoo shampoo because it is ph regulated and also contains oats milk nu sulphates and I only use after wash the L'Oréal Lamellar water....and my hair looks so much better....the added silicone at the rinsing process means it's protected after wards....and I tried some leave in sprays but I pers didn't find any that don't weigh down the hair....what I do recommend is the Hydration elation mask and aveeno shampoos ...these are sulphates free and very gentle too...all the 3 products mentioned can be found in Boots actually
i would recommend deep conditioning first and then conditioning so the feel conditioner gets absorbed into hair that has no product on it that might prevent it from penetrating, and then the regular conditioner can seal in the protein/oils/ whatever ingredients or benefits your deep conditioner has.
I use hair masks bef I wash my hair and only wash the roots....and it has changed my hair game 100%....I as well as every1 else have tried so many products with barely any results🙄....the Briogeo don't despair repair is the biggest disappointment EVER...too expensive too😒
I like that youve found a routine that works for you, im blessed with the curse of super thick (also quite greasy) hair and im currently on my own journey to waist length, and going an all natural route which ive never seriously considered before but it's finally time for ayurvedic hair care haha
I had really bad hair last year so I applied coconut oil for every day for one month and did inversation method and my hair is so soft , silky ,shiney hair and long
I have hair very similar to yours, but I don't have the time to do all the haircare so usually I just tie it into a bun after I've washed it and for the next two days my hair looks good.
if you want advice I'd look into how to properly dry and take care of your hair AFTER showering. I've noticed some bad habits you do that damage your hair. for example when you shampoo, only apply it to your sculp and massage it not the ends of your hair.
I have been wearing my hair in it's natural waves for about 2 months. I also was my hair every 3/4 days. I also oil my hair before washing! You have what I call wavy hair mine is wavy/ curly and its mostly 2 c with about of others thrown in. I enjoy your videos.
You're just so beautiful Isabella 😭❤ I keep rewatching your vids idk what it is but they just help me unwind and I enjoy every single minute of them. Please keep entertaining us, we love you girl.
My hair texture is 2B I’m pretty sure so it’s similar but slightly wavier than yours, and I’ve also been avoiding heat because that’s what lead to me getting at least 6 inches cut off. One heartless style I like wearing to bed is a faux fishtail because it’s quick, and will keep my hair tamed with it slightly curled once I take out the ponytail. I’m happy to see that in your videos you show that certain hair methods can work differently for everyone.
I was gonna comment this on your hair story video but I figured you probably wouldn't see it since it's not that recent... did you ever consider that your hairs frizzyness may be down to porosity? Hair with higher porosity means that the cuticles are more open which makes it really easy for them to absorb hydration... but means that hydration leaves your hair really quickly too. On the other hand low porosity makes the cuticles lie flat so it's hard for hydration to penetrate buuuut once it does its locked in. Depending on your routine it can be hard to figure your porosity out but there are diy tests you can do to check.
I too struggle with frizz ( tropical environment, bleached blonde) three things have stopped the frizz - keratin treatment twice a year, really cutting down on the bleach and going to softer darker baby lights and It’s A 10. That stuff is witchcraft. I keep waiting for the downside and my hair to fall out but so far no problems and it keeps my hair soft straight and clean. I don’t even have to wash as often. Mucho recommend.
Isabella, could you please make a video where you try the revlon one step hair dryer? I promise you IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! It’s so much easier and it has even a better effect than a normal blowdryer
Hey , i used to struggle a lot with my loose to normal curly hair , i had similar struggles, my hair has gotten rlly good now , what i did was get regular hair cuts , deep condition once week , added protein cuz my previous products did not have any , and now i style with a leave in , styling cream, , mousse or gel ( i like a stronger hold cuz i live in a humid area) and seal the cuticle when its dry with a serum , disclaimer my hair is rlly thick and dry so need a lot of products and if a styling cream is very hydrating i’ll skip the leave in
A good tip is to use a no poo mask or conditioner to break down the oil after a treatment... I used to use so much shampoo to try to get the oil out of my hair that the treatment wouldn't even make a difference because the shampoo would strip out the hair. Then I discovered that the ingredients in masks/conditioner are so much more suitable to dissolve the oil and make it so much easier to wash off. You can apply a generous layer of mask/conditioner to your hair before washing it and leave it for 15-20 minutes, and then use shampoo and etc. Or you can actually do a co wash before the shampoo. It helps so much! Love your videos ❤️
I really hope you have time to read this but please try the revlon blowdrying brush with the olapex n.6 cream on the mid lengths and ends! it works miracles on my frizzy Hagrid looking hair! Hope this helps 😊
There's a permanent dye called Elumen (they also make a clear gloss which doesn't add colour) which is acidic and doesn't damage the hair, it repairs it and eliminates frizz. Maybe it's something you could try out?
Also if you like to make your own masks, and are looking for moisture, honey is a humectant so add that to the oil you prefer and the honey will give it a little ‘umph’! “Honey has both emollient and humectant properties, making it a great hair moisturizer. Emollients smooth the hair follicles, adding shine to dull hair. Humectants bond with water molecules, adding moisture to dry strands. By moisturizing and locking in shine, honey can help restore the natural luster of your hair.”
What works for you works for you. That’s all that matters. Personally, I’m a pretty low maintenance gal (im just lazy tbh) and the only products I maybe sometimes use once in a blue moon are silicone and yada yada free hairsprays and mouse for when I curl or straighten my hair. I have naturally thick curly hair so I regularly get it cut and thinned out and after every wash I just do a blow out and keep like that for a good 3-6 days :)
I succeeded in air drying my hair by braiding it when it's wet. What I do is drying my roots and bangs with the less hot air possible, then I braid just the length and when it is nearly totally dry I let it down and that's it... once entirely dry my hair isn't frizzy
If you ever want to use heat (including using a hairdryer) you should use a heat protector on your hair. It helps hold your hairstyle even if you just blow-dry it.
just an opinion about hair oiling before shampooing it, I've been doing that for months and although I feel like its good for the scalp, I don't think it works well for every hair type when you put it on your ends, since I stopped doing it I noticed my hair absorbs my conditioners and hair mask way better, I dont know if I was just not washing it properly which there's no point in since I was oiling it to protect it from shampoo in the first place, so yeah i think you just have to try and see what suits YOUR HAIR
I also have fine wavy hair, idk what porosity but it's virgin hair that I only blow dry on low heat and I've been able to use lighter oils like avocado, jojoba and grape seed on my ends while my hair is still wet with great success, applying it on dry hair makes it look oily. I also can't do oil masks every week or my hair start looking limp
My daughter & I have super similar hair texture to yours naturally, I bleach my roots once or twice a year. My daughter is 4. I don't want this to be some generic comment but I wanted to tell you what works for us, our hair is wavy so it's a mix of both straight & curly, we don't have thick hair, it's fine and it can be alot of fine hair and look full at times lol. We use fenugreek seed leave in that I make for us, it really helps with the texture & frizz, it's cheap & natural, easy to make, I use this 2-3x a week. I make a leave in conditioner using our regular conditioner mixed with water in spray bottle for other days, spray hair with it in the morning before leaving and scrunch a little. I do blow dry my bangs if I cannot get them right. Oh uhm I use serums on our hair that have really helped they are Fantasia IC hair polisher mist & daily hair treatment this really helps with frizz and softness. I wash once a week, I trained my hair to go that long after washing & conditioning well I put both Fantasia products on and this is crazy but I found this loreal heat protective primer, I put this just on the ends and it really helps with overall feel & look, I don't use heat after the primer, I'm not sure why it helps the ends of my hair.. Honestly girl our hair is EXACTLY like yours. I hope these could help you too. I've been on a hair journey since 2012 😅❤❤
The kerastase duo did nothing for my hair personally because it is super long and needs a lot of nourishment and so I gave it to my mum who has short hair and it did perserve her hair colour. I don't know what brand of colour your stylist used, but if it isn't a semi-permanent dye it shouldn't fade that quickly. I reccomend that you visit a hair salon that uses Keune colour. Also Keune products are supreme compared to Kerastase and are def much cheaper. They are a dutch family brand that's been around for a long time. My hair stylist always does my highlights (various shades of blonde permanent colour, no bleach) with Keune tinta colour and it never fades...once it did when I spent the entire summer working at a beach but other than that..no. Hope this helps.
Such a great video summing up all the options. I love it! Also I just want to say that babyliss rolling brush hair drier completely destroyed my hair in about a few months. I loved the result so much I over did it. Because my hair naturally look damaged and over processed! I have followed the curly girl method for 3 years and there is no improvement. I’m so glad I found my holly grail for my “haystack” :) xxx thanks for the tips and quality videos xx
Hey, I have the same hair type as you. And the same problems and issues for years. This is what worked for me, maybe it will help you. And it’s from the inside out, not the outside in. So I’ve been on the ketogenic diet for 7 years now and I have actually increased the size of my hair strands and it’s no longer thin. (I did this for health reasons long hair was a wonderful side effect) I have the longest hair I ever had and hair froth has increased Wheat and sugar cause inflammation and especially on your scalp it messes up hair growth and stifled the follicle. Also red meats, fats, and dairy are really good for this. If you have an issue with dairy get none pasteurized find a local dairy farm you’ll be fine it’s amazing. Soy products have increased amount of estrogen and also damage hair growth. So I would skip the soy milk. Look into PUFAS, they are oils used in dressing and condiments that also cause inflammation and in this case would again damage hair growth and thickness and fullness.
we have pretty similar hair and i’ve been binging your videos and it’s so interesting! you put so much effort and it’s sad to hear all the hateful comments telling you to just let your hair be. hair is part of a lot of peoples identity and for some people, if you ignore it, it’s fine but for some it turns into a complete mess. let her do whatever she wants with her hair
Maybe use combined oils not 2 like 4 to 6 like grapeseed oil, coconut oil, India oil, etc and massage it 2 times a week and use aloe Vera as a leave in
U know, i was just like u with hair. Always wanted to have long healthy thick hair, did everything u are doing now, then one day i realized i never wanted long hair, my wish was just to feel beautiful even if i have no hair, coz at the and of the day, YOU ARE NOT YOUR HAIR! So in my head i knew what i have to do, i shaved my head. Last year for the first time, and this year for the second time. Now im finnaly ready to leave my hair grow, because i know i would love myself even if i dont have any hair. I loved it buzzed. You become a different person when u shave your head. I really hope that someday u realize that this prodocuts are not really needed for your hair to be beautiful. Just leave it as it is and stop overthinking about it. Xx
ill let you know one thing, i come from finland where the air is extremely dry. my hair never had frizzyness issues and it would never tangle either. I moved to the UK and my hair completely changed, it gets tangly all the time, even within a few hours and frizzy. I think its the combination of water change and the atmosphere, since the air is much more humid. It's just a thought, i know you wouldn't change countries, but your hair could have completely different story in another atmosphere, lke i did. xD
So I only wash my hair once a week and before washing it I use coconut oil or avocado oil and I do take a shower everyday so when I get my hair wet I comb in back so when it dries and falls forward it has volume. I haven't put heat on it or blow dried it in years.
If you don't have time to style after washing your hair, you should try learning to do Dutch braids. They look impressive with minimal effort, won't stress your hair and keep it in place without having to think about it 👀

Coconut oil can dry out certain hair types, it's not a universal oil that everyone can use to moisturize hair, it's definitely not highly recommend.
Where did you hear that?
Research?
Have also read that. Coconut and olive oil make my hair feel and look like crap. I use avocado oil and love it
Dampen hair first and then apply. Works much better.
Yes I already made a video explaining this, but I still use it occasionally as a treatment.

I can relate to your hair struggles 100% (I even have the same "golden blond" color). A while back ago it was so bad, that I even got emotional and cried, because NOTHING WORKED!! (and still doesn't by the way..) I used to color and style my hair and I thought that was the reason behind the frizz, then completely stoped everything that could do harm and grew out all natural hair (took good care of course) and turned out that they are just frizzy. They are not damaged, just difficult. Very, very difficult... I really like TIGI Bed Head rehab for hair (red one) shampoo & conditioner, if you are open to try even more hair products, then I recomend it ;)
The leaving hair soaking before conditioner is the most valuable lesson I learned from you (not from the cg even to i knew that before) my hair will always thank you
My hair gets a lot of build up on it so I shampoo the ends often because I find my hair feels healthier after. I also recommend using the Garnier Fructose 1 minute hair mask (the papaya one) because it made my hair INCREDIBLY soft, and I have naturally dry hair.
When doing oil treatmens, wash off the oil with a emolient conditioner and then use shampoo on your scalp :) You can even leave the conditioner for 15 min and then wash your hair normally!
I don't use conditioner anymore...I use hair mask for 30 min before washing (try Hydration Elation it is the best nourishing mask ever) wash my hair with Aveenoo shampoo because it is ph regulated and also contains oats milk nu sulphates and I only use after wash the L'Oréal Lamellar water....and my hair looks so much better....the added silicone at the rinsing process means it's protected after wards....and I tried some leave in sprays but I pers didn't find any that don't weigh down the hair....what I do recommend is the Hydration elation mask and aveeno shampoos ...these are sulphates free and very gentle too...all the 3 products mentioned can be found in Boots actually
i would recommend deep conditioning first and then conditioning so the feel conditioner gets absorbed into hair that has no product on it that might prevent it from penetrating, and then the regular conditioner can seal in the protein/oils/ whatever ingredients or benefits your deep conditioner has.
I use hair masks bef I wash my hair and only wash the roots....and it has changed my hair game 100%....I as well as every1 else have tried so many products with barely any results🙄....the Briogeo don't despair repair is the biggest disappointment EVER...too expensive too😒
I like that youve found a routine that works for you, im blessed with the curse of super thick (also quite greasy) hair and im currently on my own journey to waist length, and going an all natural route which ive never seriously considered before but it's finally time for ayurvedic hair care haha
I had really bad hair last year so I applied coconut oil for every day for one month and did inversation method and my hair is so soft , silky ,shiney hair and long
Your hair is looking so beautiful and thick!! And you seem so happy and confident with all your hair knowledge. Loveee your videos girl x
AGHHHW I LOVE YOUR HAIR VIDEOS SO MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THEM !
Your hair looks amazing ! Glad you are finally finding a good routine for your hair type
I have hair very similar to yours, but I don't have the time to do all the haircare so usually I just tie it into a bun after I've washed it and for the next two days my hair looks good.
if you want advice I'd look into how to properly dry and take care of your hair AFTER showering. I've noticed some bad habits you do that damage your hair. for example when you shampoo, only apply it to your sculp and massage it not the ends of your hair.
I have been wearing my hair in it's natural waves for about 2 months. I also was my hair every 3/4 days.
I also oil my hair before washing! You have what I call wavy hair mine is wavy/ curly and its mostly 2 c with about of others thrown in.
I enjoy your videos.
Me and you have the same hair problems and honestly your page has helped so much !!!
You're just so beautiful Isabella 😭❤ I keep rewatching your vids idk what it is but they just help me unwind and I enjoy every single minute of them. Please keep entertaining us, we love you girl.
A thank you what a lovely comment x I’m so glad you enjoy the videos xx
Your hair looks so healthy 😩

your hair looks so good queen
My hair texture is 2B I’m pretty sure so it’s similar but slightly wavier than yours, and I’ve also been avoiding heat because that’s what lead to me getting at least 6 inches cut off. One heartless style I like wearing to bed is a faux fishtail because it’s quick, and will keep my hair tamed with it slightly curled once I take out the ponytail. I’m happy to see that in your videos you show that certain hair methods can work differently for everyone.
This is literally my favorite video Isabella has ever made
I always geht so excited when i See that you Posted a Video! love them xx
You’re awesome x
Are you starting to feel more confident with how far you came with your hair journey? It looks amazing and beautiful congratulations 👏❤
Could you do a whole wash cycle routine and film it? So day 1, day 2, day 3 etc? And maybe for each way you style it!??
I was gonna comment this on your hair story video but I figured you probably wouldn't see it since it's not that recent... did you ever consider that your hairs frizzyness may be down to porosity? Hair with higher porosity means that the cuticles are more open which makes it really easy for them to absorb hydration... but means that hydration leaves your hair really quickly too. On the other hand low porosity makes the cuticles lie flat so it's hard for hydration to penetrate buuuut once it does its locked in. Depending on your routine it can be hard to figure your porosity out but there are diy tests you can do to check.
I too struggle with frizz ( tropical environment, bleached blonde) three things have stopped the frizz - keratin treatment twice a year, really cutting down on the bleach and going to softer darker baby lights and It’s A 10. That stuff is witchcraft. I keep waiting for the downside and my hair to fall out but so far no problems and it keeps my hair soft straight and clean. I don’t even have to wash as often. Mucho recommend.
Isabella, could you please make a video where you try the revlon one step hair dryer? I promise you IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! It’s so much easier and it has even a better effect than a normal blowdryer
I think my babyliss big hair wand is basically the same thing
Hey , i used to struggle a lot with my loose to normal curly hair , i had similar struggles, my hair has gotten rlly good now , what i did was get regular hair cuts , deep condition once week , added protein cuz my previous products did not have any , and now i style with a leave in , styling cream, , mousse or gel ( i like a stronger hold cuz i live in a humid area) and seal the cuticle when its dry with a serum , disclaimer my hair is rlly thick and dry so need a lot of products and if a styling cream is very hydrating i’ll skip the leave in
A good tip is to use a no poo mask or conditioner to break down the oil after a treatment... I used to use so much shampoo to try to get the oil out of my hair that the treatment wouldn't even make a difference because the shampoo would strip out the hair. Then I discovered that the ingredients in masks/conditioner are so much more suitable to dissolve the oil and make it so much easier to wash off. You can apply a generous layer of mask/conditioner to your hair before washing it and leave it for 15-20 minutes, and then use shampoo and etc. Or you can actually do a co wash before the shampoo. It helps so much! Love your videos ❤️
yes! oils can emulsify with conditioners that already contain oils.
I really hope you have time to read this but please try the revlon blowdrying brush with the olapex n.6 cream on the mid lengths and ends! it works miracles on my frizzy Hagrid looking hair! Hope this helps 😊
Appreciate the easy a reference with the second shampoo lol
All I see is your beauty.
Girl, you are one of a kind .
Too beautiful in my eye💗💗
There's a permanent dye called Elumen (they also make a clear gloss which doesn't add colour) which is acidic and doesn't damage the hair, it repairs it and eliminates frizz. Maybe it's something you could try out?
Also if you like to make your own masks, and are looking for moisture, honey is a humectant so add that to the oil you prefer and the honey will give it a little ‘umph’! “Honey has both emollient and humectant properties, making it a great hair moisturizer. Emollients smooth the hair follicles, adding shine to dull hair. Humectants bond with water molecules, adding moisture to dry strands. By moisturizing and locking in shine, honey can help restore the natural luster of your hair.”
I ADORE the loreal rice water line you showed!! It's literally all i use
What works for you works for you. That’s all that matters. Personally, I’m a pretty low maintenance gal (im just lazy tbh) and the only products I maybe sometimes use once in a blue moon are silicone and yada yada free hairsprays and mouse for when I curl or straighten my hair. I have naturally thick curly hair so I regularly get it cut and thinned out and after every wash I just do a blow out and keep like that for a good 3-6 days :)
I succeeded in air drying my hair by braiding it when it's wet. What I do is drying my roots and bangs with the less hot air possible, then I braid just the length and when it is nearly totally dry I let it down and that's it... once entirely dry my hair isn't frizzy
i’ve always been so obsessed with your vids ❤️
If you ever want to use heat (including using a hairdryer) you should use a heat protector on your hair. It helps hold your hairstyle even if you just blow-dry it.
I’ve lost a lot of hair recently and your videos are great inspo! Could you do a science of hair supplements if you haven’t already?
just an opinion about hair oiling before shampooing it, I've been doing that for months and although I feel like its good for the scalp, I don't think it works well for every hair type when you put it on your ends, since I stopped doing it I noticed my hair absorbs my conditioners and hair mask way better, I dont know if I was just not washing it properly which there's no point in since I was oiling it to protect it from shampoo in the first place, so yeah i think you just have to try and see what suits YOUR HAIR
@consequential corndog I have very fine hair which is straight to wavy so maybe oils were suffocating mine rather than doing anything good
I also have fine wavy hair, idk what porosity but it's virgin hair that I only blow dry on low heat and I've been able to use lighter oils like avocado, jojoba and grape seed on my ends while my hair is still wet with great success, applying it on dry hair makes it look oily. I also can't do oil masks every week or my hair start looking limp
YESSS no one EVER talks about "fun times" and hair
Just in the moment, when I struggle with my hair again, I find your video!
My daughter & I have super similar hair texture to yours naturally, I bleach my roots once or twice a year. My daughter is 4. I don't want this to be some generic comment but I wanted to tell you what works for us, our hair is wavy so it's a mix of both straight & curly, we don't have thick hair, it's fine and it can be alot of fine hair and look full at times lol. We use fenugreek seed leave in that I make for us, it really helps with the texture & frizz, it's cheap & natural, easy to make, I use this 2-3x a week. I make a leave in conditioner using our regular conditioner mixed with water in spray bottle for other days, spray hair with it in the morning before leaving and scrunch a little. I do blow dry my bangs if I cannot get them right. Oh uhm I use serums on our hair that have really helped they are Fantasia IC hair polisher mist & daily hair treatment this really helps with frizz and softness. I wash once a week, I trained my hair to go that long after washing & conditioning well I put both Fantasia products on and this is crazy but I found this loreal heat protective primer, I put this just on the ends and it really helps with overall feel & look, I don't use heat after the primer, I'm not sure why it helps the ends of my hair.. Honestly girl our hair is EXACTLY like yours. I hope these could help you too. I've been on a hair journey since 2012 😅❤❤
The kerastase duo did nothing for my hair personally because it is super long and needs a lot of nourishment and so I gave it to my mum who has short hair and it did perserve her hair colour. I don't know what brand of colour your stylist used, but if it isn't a semi-permanent dye it shouldn't fade that quickly. I reccomend that you visit a hair salon that uses Keune colour. Also Keune products are supreme compared to Kerastase and are def much cheaper. They are a dutch family brand that's been around for a long time. My hair stylist always does my highlights (various shades of blonde permanent colour, no bleach) with Keune tinta colour and it never fades...once it did when I spent the entire summer working at a beach but other than that..no. Hope this helps.
Such a great video summing up all the options. I love it! Also I just want to say that babyliss rolling brush hair drier completely destroyed my hair in about a few months. I loved the result so much I over did it. Because my hair naturally look damaged and over processed! I have followed the curly girl method for 3 years and there is no improvement. I’m so glad I found my holly grail for my “haystack” :) xxx thanks for the tips and quality videos xx
Lots of love from Egypt! I really love all your videos ❤❤❤
girly serving looks your hair looks really good and ur skin too
ly sm 💕
i curl my hair with socks and i really love it!!the curls are bouncy and can sometimes stay even more than a day
My air dried hair looks EXACTLY like yours! I also do find that whenever I blowdry my hair straight, it stays like that until the next wash😄
Hey,
I have the same hair type as you. And the same problems and issues for years. This is what worked for me, maybe it will help you. And it’s from the inside out, not the outside in.
So I’ve been on the ketogenic diet for 7 years now and I have actually increased the size of my hair strands and it’s no longer thin. (I did this for health reasons long hair was a wonderful side effect) I have the longest hair I ever had and hair froth has increased
Wheat and sugar cause inflammation and especially on your scalp it messes up hair growth and stifled the follicle.
Also red meats, fats, and dairy are really good for this. If you have an issue with dairy get none pasteurized find a local dairy farm you’ll be fine it’s amazing.
Soy products have increased amount of estrogen and also damage hair growth. So I would skip the soy milk.
Look into PUFAS, they are oils used in dressing and condiments that also cause inflammation and in this case would again damage hair growth and thickness and fullness.
we have pretty similar hair and i’ve been binging your videos and it’s so interesting! you put so much effort and it’s sad to hear all the hateful comments telling you to just let your hair be. hair is part of a lot of peoples identity and for some people, if you ignore it, it’s fine but for some it turns into a complete mess. let her do whatever she wants with her hair
Maybe use combined oils not 2 like 4 to 6 like grapeseed oil, coconut oil, India oil, etc and massage it 2 times a week and use aloe Vera as a leave in
U know, i was just like u with hair. Always wanted to have long healthy thick hair, did everything u are doing now, then one day i realized i never wanted long hair, my wish was just to feel beautiful even if i have no hair, coz at the and of the day, YOU ARE NOT YOUR HAIR! So in my head i knew what i have to do, i shaved my head. Last year for the first time, and this year for the second time. Now im finnaly ready to leave my hair grow, because i know i would love myself even if i dont have any hair. I loved it buzzed. You become a different person when u shave your head.
I really hope that someday u realize that this prodocuts are not really needed for your hair to be beautiful. Just leave it as it is and stop overthinking about it.
Xx
So much dedication! Love it👏
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS
Mix olive oil 3/4 and castor oil 1/4 it thickens hair and is very good for dry hair trust me
ill let you know one thing, i come from finland where the air is extremely dry. my hair never had frizzyness issues and it would never tangle either. I moved to the UK and my hair completely changed, it gets tangly all the time, even within a few hours and frizzy. I think its the combination of water change and the atmosphere, since the air is much more humid. It's just a thought, i know you wouldn't change countries, but your hair could have completely different story in another atmosphere, lke i did. xD
So I only wash my hair once a week and before washing it I use coconut oil or avocado oil and I do take a shower everyday so when I get my hair wet I comb in back so when it dries and falls forward it has volume. I haven't put heat on it or blow dried it in years.
If you don't have time to style after washing your hair, you should try learning to do Dutch braids. They look impressive with minimal effort, won't stress your hair and keep it in place without having to think about it 👀
i remember ur old video about ur hair journey..well done to u its really beautiful now❤️
Your hair is so freaking gorgeous!
