*UPDATE - Watch Part 2 where I answer all your questions:* ua-cam.com/video/fv1oIriGd5I/v-deo.html Thanks for all the fantastic questions, comments section! 💜
Ok, so I already chopped off my hair after watching your video. Going to head to Part 2 now
Speak about the rice water please❤
So how do you know if your hair is damaged
You just saved my life!! My bleached hair felt super dry lately and I was wondering why since I moisturize often, after this video I remembered that I neglected conditioner for a while.
Can you please speak about how to get healthy hair (especially) if it’s damaged?
The fist time I ever wore my natural Afo textured hair out, I was 12 years old, and I walked into a church and GROWN ADULDTS looked at me and just laughed the wordy part is, THE FRICKEN PASTOR LAGHED THE HARDEST. They told me I looked like I was electrocuted, that I needed a hair cut, And the worst thing about it, they said I was not aloud to serve at the alter with my hair out because it look “unprofessional” and it really made me feel bad, at this time, I was 12 years old, AND THESE WERE ADULTS. From then on I decided that I was gonna wear my hair out every day to prove them wrong. It was the best decision I ever made.
Holy moly
I mean to disrespect the ppl, not the religion but I have found that some religious church goers are the most judge mental ppl out there.
Most would find other styles to wear as a result -- good for you!!!! Love this!
church goers are hands down the most judgmental people i’ve ever encountered
I love that you embraced your natural texture! It still makes me angry and boggles my mind that some people believe someone's natural hair texture is "unprofessional"
I remember hearing an esthetician on UA-cam often say "advertising does not exist to educate you"
They're not concerned with the facts, they're telling you what they think you want to hear.
It's like the misuse of the word organic lol
That sounds like something Cassandra Bankson would say. She always says that the front of the product is all marketing and to flip things over and read ingredients.
@@lirosespurposefullove5422 Yep - and things advertised as having "no chemicals". I always wonder what they're made of. Pixie dust?
No wait! - That can't be it! Pixie dust is made of Unobtainium!!
i study advertising and they literally tell us to create a need for something, don't be fooled guys
@@pot4017 yes absolutely. We used to just use a moisturiser and foundation, blush mascara eyeshadow, lip. Now there are like 1 Million products, potions and serums, anti oxidants primers, pre primer, airbrush flawless flashlight, radiance booster, flawless filter, pore blur, pre-primer, lip pencil, lipstick, plus gloss, eyelid primer, concealer, powder, blush, bronzer, finishing powder, highlight, contour, brow pencil, carving out product/pencil, eye base, lash primer, brow setting gel, brow shimmer 3D, setting spray, moisture spritz, essence, body makeup blur, I could name sooooo many more it’s a wonder how we manage to leave the house if we did everything
Uhmm am I the only one who always assumed moisturised hair just meant well-conditioned hair - not actually hair with water in it??
Right?? I’m more confused now about people really thinking this. 🤯
Hydrated has always meant holding more water to me, not moisturized.
That’s what i always assumed
No lol, but the tendency for the industry to conflate those words is unfortunately ubiquitous, and because of this people think it to be the case.
I feel the need to comment too lol. I also never assumed that the term "moisturizing" had anything to do with water content of hair and I find it weird that this video assumes that many people think that, especially since in our languages so many words are easily perceived in an abstract context (even if they're not really changed much, e.g. compare "cold" and "warm" colours). I mean, I'm not an English native speaker, is that why this is weird to me? I find that especially confusing because products that make your hair smooth and pretty are usually oil-based... like idk argan oil. *insert pensive smiley*
"dry" is used metaphorically to mean "brittle" or "damaged" I guess
Thank you this explains why we south Indians massage coconut oil into our scalp and hair since ancient times. We live in a very humid tropical place and I guess it protects the hair from the moisture in the atmosphere. Ppl use coconut oil on their body and hair since birth and it actually makes hair shiny and smooth and theres a huge difference when we stop using oil. I always thought it was just the oil making it smooth didn't know it affected the actual topography of the hair
yass, the desi oil treatments are awesome
Sesame oil, castor oil etc are also used. We desis need to use a lot of ayurveda I guess considering how big companies are exploiting human insecurities. I really learnt alot because of this video and also learnt that I don't need to shampoo that frequently( that's a different video)
@@peace_wise2809 but u still shampoo and condition right?
We use olive oil in north Africa and middle east
There’s a campaign growing now that coconut oil I think is cutting into petroleum products- now they’re trying to say coconut oil clogs pores & arteries. Literally the opposite is true & it makes me so angry.
Hair is so hard to understand 😭
Oh nooo!! I hope the videos help make it a little easier for you to understand 💜
It's like a medium difficulty, but actually it's really fun to perform experiments on hair to understand how it works.
I learned on a stylist course mostly.
Learned how hair behaves under wet , dry, oil saturated states, how it burns by heat or by chemical bleaching.
And what happens to your hair while permanently curling or straightening it. It's fascinating science. I'm from Chile.
@@SarahIngleOfficial can u do a video on the Science of curly hair and what we should use?
I sing what do u mean Tobit everyday
And it really shouldn’t be. The shampoo industry is playing us, hard!
"I'm not an expert, I'm just a nerd who is curious and goes overboard finding answers"
I think you just defined me with one sentence
Hahahha you understand the struggle
me too. 100% freak about science.
same. I research everything for fun and make an excellent trivia player, lol. some people just love learning!
That was the sentence that made me subscribe! :)
samee
It's basically osmosis. Just like how lettuce gets crispier when left to soak in water.
you just described osmosis
@@juliap9632 Reverse osmosis is when water moelcules move from lower concentration of water to higher concentration of water molecules. Lettuce is lower, the water surrounding it is higher. Therefore the water exits the lettuce, entering the surrounding water, making the lettuce crispier. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
@@Zavidar2 you think water exits the lettuce? it's osmosis, the water enters the lettuce therefore it gets crispier, I don't know what you're talking about with the "reverse"
@@juliap9632 You're actually right
@@Zavidar2 you explained what osmosis is better than any of my science teachers at school.
This is actually what we learn at my cosmetology school! Really happy that there are people like you to help others who aren't studying cosmetology to understand hair
I know this comment is late but how was cosmetology school like ?
@@saltyriz7734 it was definitely an experience! Made some amazing friends along the way and some of my learning leaders were amazing mentors. There were crazy moments but also memorable ones. Was worth it in the end. Came out with much more knowledge and it set me up for my first salon job. We would take clients but our teachers were always there if we weren’t really sure how to do something. Sometimes I’d be super nervous but they would always be cheering me on. My peers also supported one another so it was great.
Hello, Im not a cosmetologist but whenever I go to a salon they tell me my hair is dry and has split ends so every time i go I get many inches taken off and I can’t ever let my hair grow out because of it. I am Mexican and my hair is frizzy wavy. All I use is conditioner shampoo and a hair mask once a week. Ive tried multiple salons and none can help me I don’t use heat more than once a week. What do I do???!!!!!!??????!!!!!!
@@jessaquino4286 omg thats amazing thanks for sharing that information I am hoping to one day to do the same since its my dream. Im glad people are nice and supportive 😊
@@pinappleaye2455 **Always** use coconut oil before washing your hair. I'm not a professional, but I went from extreme hair breakage to no hair breakage, and here are my tips: divide your hair into two sections, brush ends first, then from the lengths down, then from the scalp down with the original Tangle Teezer (definitely **NOT** the one with a handle!!!); go for organic, virgin coconut oil - heat up 1 Tbsp in a mug for 40 seconds, apply with praying hands from the shoulders down only because coconut oil shouldn't come close to your scalp as it clogs pores, leave on for up to 4H and, again with your hair divided, shampoo roots only with the most natural solid shampoo you can find (not saponified). Then squeeze out excess water from your lengths and ends, scoop some hair mask (the only one I've found that works for me is Garnier's Macadamia Hair Mask) with your Tangle Teezer (enough to cover 1/4 of it), apply from the shoulders down to one section, rinse hairbrush, scoop some more and repeat on the other section, and wait 3 minutes before rinsing - this is the tricky part as it will most likely take a lot of trial of error until you find out how to rinse enough but not too much; when you get out of the shower, squeeze out excess water from your hair with a cotton t-shirt, divide hair again, brush as previously described and apply a tiny (and I mean tiny!) amount of coconut oil to your hair (again, never above the shoulders). That will be enough for most people, but if you're one of the rare cases like me and your ends get unbelievably dry, wet them just enough every morning after brushing your hair and apply a tiny amount of coconut oil - it will dry up super fast and your hair will look and feel super soft and shiny. I know this was a lot, but thank me later 😂
Some people might confuse their textured hair as dry hair, because they aren’t used to the the real texture of their hair
That’s such a good point! Lots of stuff that the beauty industry tries to tell us about what “beautiful” hair is, too, when I wish we could celebrate beauty in all types of hair. And that certain hair textures are just different than others and one isn’t healthier than the other.
This was me! I thought my hair was dry turns out its just curly xD
How do you figure out if this is the case? My hair was never “dry” until the last few years (I’m in my early 20s) so idk if it’s a natural texture change or if my hair is just not properly taken care of.
@@SS-yg8ht hormone changes can change your hair, so potentially
Also, we have a few different textures in our head hair... so it makes us wonder how our back hair is so dry, but the frontal is so thin and nice... they have different textures, that's all
How do I send it to Brad Mondo without actually seding it to him.
He is such an air head
why? I don't watch his video so idk, but I have heard of him
I don't really think he would care that much 😅
He probably learned this in hair school or when working at his own product line but he is more into hair cuts and coloring. He finds natural long healthy hair boring for the most part 😂 The first thing he would say is probably for sarah to cut her hair 😂
@@XEveryoneLovesEmilyX true
He learnt at beauty school (hairstyling school). So, maybe he didn't learn the body chemistry much.
When I was a young teen, I didn’t rinse out my conditioner enough one day before school ( a new school, no friends, new state, new everything. I had not yet made any friends) and my hair was greasy and gross at school the whole day. I was new to caring about my appearance and new to California, where you learn to care about your appearance when you are old enough to imitate your mother, putting on lipstick and doing her hair. I was 13. I arrived in California completely unprepared for being judged solely on how I look. So I spent that day being mercilessly teased about having not washed my hair and being a disgusting dirty person, when, point in fact, I had washed my hair that morning before school!
Needless to say; sadly, that one day of teasing led me to a lifetime of over-rinsing my hair after I condition it. Having naturally curly hair requires one to leave a certain amount of conditioner in your hair so it stays conditioned enough ( not moisturized enough..😅)… so I have had to train myself to stop over-rinsing. Hard to do for me, but I’m getting there.
I am 56 and this is pathetic that one day of teasing by people I didn’t know or care about, affected me this long without my actually being aware of it. I think this should remind young girls that they have the power to make other young girls feel good about themselves, or feel terrible about themselves. Of course I rarely think of that event and really had to dig deep to figure out why I over rinse my hair, but that’s it, I’m sure.
People, if you can be nice, be nice! If you can’t, say NOTHING!
Thank you for sharing this anecdote :) I hope your hair is as healthy and beautiful as you seem to be
Not pathetic at all! Sometimes words are the things that have the strongest impact on us, and you're very strong for managing to overcome them
That happened to me. I rinsed my hair with tub water. 😂 I was around 10/11 at the time. There is no reasoning with kids. I still remember that and I am 55 now. I never done that again. You just learn. I don’t like to embarrass people. Even if I don’t care for them or they slighted me in some way. I don’t like to see people embarrassed even if I don’t know them and they are on TV or whatever. It’s a deeper wound people cause. As we know in todays climate hurt people love to hurt. Slow learners.
This is one reason you should listen to yourself. Not to other people.
You also have the power to be mean back to the mean people instead of just taking it.
Oh. My. GOD. As a curly girl (3aish hair), I wanted to cry every time I looked at a curly blogger/Instagrammer who talked about protein overloads and moisture overloads and trying to find a balance because it just felt so difficult. I was totally intimidated out of trying anything because there were just too many products and balances to find! My whole entire perspective changed after this video. Like you said, a lot of it is just using the wrong vocabulary to describe the issues. Gosh, even just comparing the protein treatments to thick lipstick was the PERFECT way to describe it and now I feel like I actually understand how protein treatments even work! Thank you so, so, SO much for this. I actually feel confident and empowered with this new information and I'm really excited to explore my curly hair further :D
struggling with same thing
I have the same hair type
I am an hairdresser and this is what we learn in school (at least here in the Netherlands) that is why you use hair spray to maintain a hairstyle, it literally coats the hair to make it somehow "waterproof" so moisture doesn't ruin the hard work you put into it. Between other things. If you learn hair you learn it from the cell to the outside not from the marketing point of view.
In austria we don't learn that in school. unfortunately...
@the Rat Ahahaha ok, I was surprised you would learn that in high school
True! And at least I have never heard a hairstylist say protein blocks water from getting in to the hair...
And I’m a hairstylist btw
@@XEveryoneLovesEmilyX haha no, I meant when you go to hairdresser school. Here in the Netherlands you need to go to school for at least 3 years and work as intern in salons. You learn everything from scratch, skin and hair. We don't only work with hair, we work with the scalp/skin. We are responsible to tell our clients if we see something that needs to be checked by a doctor or a dermatologist. Is not only beauty it's care. A hairdresser is not just a hairstylist.
@@L_San87 cool :)
I love hearing from people that are passionate about the things they do!
*ATTENTION: Curly hair friends* -- We've talked in other videos about the importance of combing/detangling your hair while it's wet. That's still true! Nobody asked about this (yet), but it just popped in my head.
I packed SO much in this video, and reading the comments, I can't decide if it's too much or not enough... because it's somehow both??? Working on a part 2 to answer your questions & add more detail especially in areas that I cut because I thought nobody cared. You do care (& I love that about you guys). Please keep sending your questions & concerns in the comments!
You helped my hair become so soft
Hey Sarah! Could you do a video on the brand Monat?? Thank you!!❤️
Thank you so much
Please do a video on HAIR DYES HAIR COLOR there is a lot of confusion and lies
Please make a part 2 🙏 , this is so much yet so little information, I have to rething some about my curly hair.
I’ve never call conditioning “moisturizing” because I thought it’s only for skin. But the “dry” hair is a whole new thing! I always prefer to air dry my hair but everytime it’s dry (not wet) it feels rough and frizzy. The second and third day is when my hair at its best shape. All this time I thought it’s because of my oils coming out but apparently it’s because my hair is completely dry at that point.
True I also have that and your conclusion explains a lot. I've never been one to blow-dry my hair (grew up on an island, life is I guess simpler or just my family's routine of doing things). But I must say that I've noticed, and especially now that I live at a place where we don't always have nice weather, that my hair always looks and feels way better when I wash it and go outside on a nice sunny day. So when my hair dries with a good amount of sun to evaporate the water quickly. Some other comment mentioned using a turban to let it absorb the most water and blow dry the last bit in the colder months. Maybe something to actually consider.. although I'm quite lazy and prefer not to use hot tools 😅
Actually, I'm going to support your original assumption here. Your 3rd day hair feels the silkiest because IT IS your natural oils giving it slip & protection from humidity. With the utmost respect to the maker of this video, she seems to be discussing the amount of water IN the hair shaft. However, that's not what we feel when we run our hands through our hair. We feel the coating on top of the hair. Natural oils, silicone, dimethicone & other products that have "slip" make the brush or comb go through our hair easily. They also weigh down the hair slightly so it feels less "crunchy."
I'm not saying the video is wrong, just that moisture inside the hair isn't really what most of us are talking about when we say we want conditioning or moisture.
It's funny you should mention that, it only dawned on me this week. In spite of trying products that should do a better job, I end up with the same results, "frizzy and dry" hair, day of and then it settles down for the next couple of days. I realize it's because regardless of the environmental humidity, my hair is still not completely dried (even though it seemed like it must be after air drying many hours).
@@StarrySkyInAmerica I wrap mine in a towel for about 30min or so, then put it up in an insulated beanie overnight (in winter) and the heat held in helps my hair dry and keeps me from getting a headache from the wet/cold on my head.
I’ve actually never heard of moisturised hair. Thought it was just for skin as conditioner doesn’t go inside the hair. It simply creates a protective layer. I think this is more simple than ppl make it. Ppl treat hair like skin
Honestly, the black hair community had me doing up the most to achieve ’moisturised hair’ (i have 4a/4b hair, but at the time i thought I had 4c). At the time, my hair would feel GUMMY, like damp and extremely soft and almost gooey. I thought my hair was thoroughly moisturised, but it took a lot more education and slaps on the face (from my reality lol) to realise that my hair is overloaded with this ‘moisture’ and it wasn’t good for me (really - my curl pattern was bot curling like it used to and i didn’t notice).
Since then I’ve dropped the trendy, highly advertised, and recommended routine of ‘Liquid, Cream and Oil’ aka, the *LCO method* (originally the LOC method, which is a bit ridiculous itself bc cream literally cannot penetrate through oil. Like it’ll sit on top bc of their different densities, as cream is mainly water. Thats why i did the LCO method instead).
Now i just use olive oil and castor oil in my hair. Olive oil has more ‘moisturising’ ingredients and castor oil for sealing that moisture, so i use olive oil before castor oil (which i dont apply too much of!). My hair is soft, but not gummy. Plus, the olive oil really helps with providing slip and adding a natural shine to my hair. This simplified moisture routine is so much better for my hair (its grown a bit faster too within a 3 month period! - i document my hair growth☺️).
I’ve learnt that i really don’t need to do the most. Hair has been successful for all of history. It knows how to handle itself, its biologically engineered to do so! So i like to thing of my products as helpers, rather than the causers.
*So yeah, moral of the story/ TLDR: don’t blindly follow these instagram and youtube hair gurus. Do your own research and use what ACTUALLY works best for you! xx*
And thanks Sarah for your vid!! It was really insightful!!
Good for you. Our hair and scalps really don't need that much. That is unless you're trying to do something that is unnatural for your hair.
I have straight hair- olive oil has been a lifesaver for me too! I use very little due to my texture, but it is the prime ingredient that has saved my hair
I’m not an expert, just a nerd who gets curious and goes overboard on finding answers.” This speaks to my soul.
...and even harder to control.
Same here! I'm always searching for answers.
Virgo things ♍😂
I’m the same way! I get curious about something and spend far too much time learning about it

I've got adblock on. I don't see ads. 😂
@@MrJamiez based
my brain auto ignores adds when they popup, it just popped up and i have nooo idea what it was.
@@MrJamiez yeah and so can I if I hook my laptop to the tv instead of cast, it's a trade-off, I can use ads for a natural break to go do something useful, it's not like I'm chained to the screen 🤷♀️
This explains why my hair feels driest immediately after towel drying my hair (while my hair’s still very damp), but gets softer and softer after airdrying completely (I have dreadlocks and don’t use any conditioners or oils, just shampoo).
Yes!!!! Thank you for this research! As a hairstylist, it's been driving me crazy how the professional hair industry keeps myths alive and sells these myths to hairstylists who deserve better education on a scientific level. It is so difficult to source information that isn't tainted with marketing fear tactics and misuse of terms. As professionals, we should have real answers for our clients, not just product claims and bogus hair hack advise. The type of adverts geared to stylists make me feel like they think we're stupid and don't have any interest in facts or that we deserve real studies or scientific evidence as proof. I support this kind of learning! Yay!
My hair is much "drier" and frizzier in the summer when it's humid.
When your environment changes to more or less humid and you haven't applied an oil to not let the water come in and out, and the change makes your hair "frizzier" in both ways
may be its damaged
It might be overly moisturized due to the high humidity. You could try using products with proteins in them on very humid days to try and balance it out (conditioner, leave in, or styler)
When it’s humid there’s moisture in the air, so it could be that your hair extends to try and grab the moisture. It’s quite normal
She explains this in the midpoint of the video. In the winter, your hair is dry (smooth) the air is dry, so your hair stays smooth. In the summer your hair is dry right after it is styled, and the air outside is humid, so the moisture goes into the top layers of your hair, and it attempts to be a bit curly (or wavy, or whatever) and so it seems rougher and frizzier. It needs oil to stop that process.
Hey Sarah, could you do a video about the curly girl method with a scientific view?
Yes! I would love to see that
For me a big claim of the curly girl method was based on the premise that hair needs water, therefore silicones are bad. But thinking about it the cause might actually actually be harsh shampoo is bad for you and gentle shampoos don't clean off silicones that well. silicones then build up on curly hair making it not curl as tightly, which could be true for some hair types. I guess the Curly hair Community just inserted their own explenations into it.
Please!
@@XEveryoneLovesEmilyX there are actually plenty of curly haired women (here on youtube as well) who use silicones in their hair no problem. I'm sure you can misuse them, or that certain kinds of silicones may be worse than others but I'm pretty sure that the general claim "silicones are bad for your hair" is false
@@svogel6459 i fogot to mention that i nologer trink they are bad. Thats what i thought in the past
As a member of the scientific community and a person with curly hair, this is the most helpful hair video I've ever watched. I have been told my entire adult life that when my hair is frizzy or my curls are undefined, it's because my hair is DRY and it has been drilled into all curly haired people that we need to moisturize like crazy
Thank you for taking the time to read and understand that super dense body of work about the science of hair so that we don't have to! And I really appreciate that you are presenting information that comes from actual peer reviewed science!
I feel like this is like literally low key racism...
I never believed that shit bc my hair would be frizzy on wash day but once I put in a bun or just leave till the next day it wouldn’t be frizzy
So happy I found your channel! I never deep dived into the actual science of hair care and am struggling with hair issues and CGM.
As kinky/curly natural, I clicked on this video just to see what you were going to say, and I agree with the misconception about "moisturized" hair. Like I would cringe watching hair videos that said to add more water to moisturize. I'm like moisturizing your hair is the same way you moisturize skin. Your skin isn't moisturized just because you spray water on it. It's just wet.
Thank you! I too have come to this conclusion. Many folks were like, just add water and I did and my hair became worse off. It would be the same with our hands. If I just add water, my hands are still gonna be ashy once it evaporates. Something else is needed.
so what do you use to moisturize your jair?
@@tsuyuasui7297 Heyy. I moisturize my hair with either a cream and/or aloe vera juice with a light oil. It depends on the style I'm going for. But I was just comparing hair to skin because essentially they are made of the same proteins, just different concentrations. And the way you would moisturize your skin is with a lotion or petroleum jelly (your preference) not just water. So it wouldn't make sense to moisturize hair with water.
@@The_IridescentGoddess wow, that comparison with skin has totally worked for me. I could spend hours in the shower "wetting" my skin, but once I dry... it wouldn't feel moisturised... 🤔 and if I spray water on my hair, I just get... tadaaaa : more frizz
@@The_IridescentGoddess i have curly hair, do you condition everyday?
The differences in terminology are actually so purposely confusing. I never knew that "moisturizing" products are simply conditioners. How do the marketing folks get away with it?
Honestly I don’t think the marketing people have any idea. 😆 They probably think it’s moisturizing just like everyone else. It’s such a commonly misunderstood term that I think most of the scientific community has given up on trying to explain it to us and just let us call it whatever we want. It’s probably super frustrating for people with PhDs to have people with no credentials arguing with them all the time. 😆
The relaxed hair community has been saying this for years.....
@@medaherf9462 The natural community too, with our spray bottles of water 😂
They get away witj it because there is only little regulation on what they are allowed to claim. They are not allowed to do drug claims and are not allowed to say untrue things. BUT since “moisturizer“ is a term that is associated with a certain outcome by the public they can just say that they use the term that describes the outcome the product gives as used by the public.
We get confused because there is no defined standard or acceptable guidelines for understanding, describing, characterizing, and managing hair. We all know what "rough" implies when associated with the feel of hair but we use terms such as coarse that is a synonym for rough while also refering to the thickness of a hair strand lol. Insert consumer confusion. And yet no one sees the need to correct lingo like this because perception sells where there is no clarity and as stated, many hair professionals refuse to keep debating with those seeking their help. It's annoying for people like us who just want to have healthy hair.
Oh my god this makes so much sense!!! My hair was frizzy, so I kept adding hydrating treatments and locking in moisture and the frizz was getting worse and worse... this explains a LOT!
I live in a horribly humid country and always thought due to the heat, my curls were dry, until one day I realized that whenever I came out of the pool, my curls were so beautiful and defined which meant my hair was just too moisturized and having it drier was healthier,
I AM NEVER GONNA LISTEN TO ANY OTHER HAIRUA-camR EVER AGAINNNNNNNN
thanks for the research
Awwww it’s not that other hair UA-camr are wrong! There’s lot of great ones. I think this topic just has a lot of misinformation around it that stem from one wrong definition. A lot of the advice is still good, but the reason why it works is off.
@@SarahIngleOfficial well yeah I know... but your scientific approach just can‘t be topped... do you have any other youtubers you‘d recommend?
@@booklika tabitha gingerich, lana summer and especially britt curls are all recommends! Do note i have wavy/curly hair, so i specifically watch youtubers that have my hair!
My mind is still blown. If you're still not sure, take a look at the sources in the description -- you don't have take my word for it. 😄
first!!!
That first one was rather surprising.
Hi Sarah! I’ve been watching your channel for a pretty long time and you have helped me take care of my hair!
I actually read about this YEARS ago! & it makes sense.
Would you make more videos about Rapunzel?
I love your passion. I was just thinking this! The overuse and misuse of the term "moisture" is frustrating. Marketers know people are gullible and are leading people to damaged hair while emptying their wallets. Coconut oil and proteins aren't for everyone but they're in EVERYTHING. It's not always stress causing hairloss.
i'm so happy you covered protein-moisture balance in this because i was stressed about it for a while. your videos are enlightening, thank you so much ♡
I love the way that you provide detailed, science based hair advice! I’ve never seen anybody do this before!
Thank you! I haven’t seen it outside of scientific journals and definitely no attempts to explain it to people who aren’t scientists. That’s why the videos take sooooo long to make. The research that goes into just one of these literally takes me weeks of working on them full-time.
@@SarahIngleOfficial it really shows that you work so hard on these videos so thank you! 😁 the information you put out has really helped me improve my hair ❤️🙏🏻
something i’ve realized is that simplicity is so much better! the concept of protein-moisture balance is so confusing and exhausting to think about. the things that made the biggest difference in my severely damaged hair, which is now super healthy, were olaplex no. 3 treatments and using a high quality conditioner (olaplex no. 5 was the one i was using most often for anyone wondering), as well as just being really gentle with it. all the mess about using a different treatment every single week and putting oils in it overnight etc is so unnecessary, and too many products increases the chances that the skin of your scalp will have a reaction to something.
Thank you for breaking down these myths! Its so hard to find real information out there and I'm so excited you did all the leg work to bring us some clarity. Cant wait to watch your other vids :)
OMG! That explains why every time I wash my hair it looks horrible, frizzy, rough and shitty and only after 2-3 days it looks nice! 😳😱
Your explanation also confirms the belief that we shouldn't wash our hair so often.
Thank you so much for that info!
I want to ask you, should I use coconut oil before I wash my hair or after as a leave-on ingredient?
I think she said to use it before you shower
I use it before I shower. I apply it a few hours before or even the night before and then wash my hair.
If I used it after my hair would look way too greasy
That happens to me every time I wash my hair too. Looks so frizzy for half to one day, and then goes back to normal. This video is so mind blowing, I had no idea why my hair did that my literal entire life.
@@zahraamin164 can you please sum it up because i didn’t understand in the video my hair is also so bad after i wash it
@@m4tta water in your hair bad, conditioner and oil good.
My hair was also always frizzy the next day after showering, using gel on wet hair solved that.
As a curly girl, I have read so much about protein/moisture balance and could never get my head around it, a lot of things have clicked into place for me now and I can stop stressing over that particular hair worry. Subscribed. Thanks for the video!
So glad it’s helpful!! 🙏🏻

You are litteraly the Cassandra Bankson of hair : smart, so well spoken and you litterally have the best capacities of researching and vulgarizing information. I’m one video in, and a forever fan. Xxxx
I love your personality and the simple way you break down very confusing, complicated topics without sounding condescending. I think there are so many myths when it comes to beauty products simply made to make us buy more and more. Every time I see a person put 4 or 5 products on their hair while styling (most of which are supposed to add moisture) I'm left thinking that can't be necessary or even good for your hair! Thanks for opening up this conversation and I'm sure this will send you down a new rabbit hole of misinformation in the beauty industry.
Could you make a deep research into the Function of beauty company? itd be really interesting to know if they are actually a good company

To me that are good things😁😁 but you have other amazing traits!!
THank you! I recently started accepting my hair how it is and I'm learning to manage it after 22 years with it. That skit on what brands sell us is hilarious! LOL
Not exactly my worst hair “day”, but the worst hair problem that I’ve had to deal with, ever:
I put my (level 5) brown, very thick wavy-ish caucasian hair through three bleaching treatments last year, painstakingly taking it up to a level 10 to dye it silver. During the first few weeks after the last bleaching session, my hair would get a slight mildew smell after showering. I went crazy trying to find out why. According to a reddit thread, my cuticles were damaged and lifted so much that water would get under them and take a long time to evaporate, creating the perfect environment for mold to thrive in. Yikes. I started applying a hair mask every few days, as well as using a caring oil after every shower, and the problem went away.
As far as I understand, damaged hair and open cuticles soak in water and water evaporates faster, so the opposite of that? I can’t think of another reason for it, though, but I'm happy you found a solution!
I've been doing a modified version of the curly girl method for almost a year now so I've heard every one of the terms you covered and this video was SO helpful! I love hair science so I'm looking forward to part two!
Oh my god this means everyone is just spreading false information all over youtube. Even so many chemists and cosmetologists have it all wrong. This also makes so much sense as to why my hair felt "dry" and gross when all I was focusing on was trying to drive water into my cuticle, and feels soft and light and smooth now that I'm focused on getting conditioning ingredients and it's own natural oils on it. I thought my hair was super low porosity and would be dry if there was any oil/conditioner/silicone "blocking" water from penetrating and moisturizing it so I over-shampooed and avoided any emollient or occlusive ingredients. But my hair feels a million times better when it has an ample supply of these things (like from spreading my natural oils down the hair shaft and only shampooing near the scalp, using silicones, and applying deep conditioners and oils to dry, dirty hair before washing. My mind is blown. Also a thought here.. could there perhaps still be some merrit in the whole protein-moisture balance thing, except that it's more of a protein-condition balance? Like if 'protein overload' is just a buildup of protein on the hair shaft, then what people describe as 'moisture overload' may be a buildup of conditioning ingredients on the hair shaft, and maybe the ideal environment for your hair is to have a nice balance of both proteins and conditioning agents, both coating the hair in moderation. I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts on this :) wonderful video, as always Sarah. Thank you so much for the work and effort and intelligence that you put into these hair science videos :) I'll be eagerly awaiting the next one!
Editing to add that I have 3b curly hair, for anyone wondering if this still applies to curly hair
Also I've watched the video like 6 times, just trying to process and integrate this new information 😅 it's shaking up almost everything I thought I knew about hair care!
It’s sooooo much info crammed into one video. 😆 In some ways, I think I squished too much, but then in other ways I’m seeing a bunch of questions in the comments I wish I would’ve answered. 😅
To answer your protein-moisture balance question, I at first was thinking the same thing. The more I looked at it, though, I started to see what we thought of as “moisture overload” and “protein overload” aren’t really opposites. They’re in some ways the exact same things. They’re just buildup. Protein buildup tends to feel more rough, and conditioning buildup more gummy, but in both cases they probably need to be cleaned off with a clarifying shampoo and then conditioned afterward. It’s kind of like a reset button rather than a balance.
@@SarahIngleOfficial thank you so much for replying :) I think you did a wonderful job on the video! It's a big topic, one that would be hard to sum up in one video and one that could for sure warrant another video on it! Maybe it just needs a part 2 :) And about the protien-condition thing, I was thinking the same thing as I thought about it more. I'm torn though, because on the one hand I agree that conditioning isnt necessarily the antithesis to protein and vice versa, and that more of one cant fix a buildup of the other, but if protein used in moderation lends strength but not manageability, and conditioning agents lend manageability but not strength, then maybe they both come together in the appropriate amounts to create the most ideal protection for the hair. Maybe that's overthinking it but it could explain why a lot of people find success in balancing "protein and moisture". Maybe they're just accidently getting the right amount of both protein and conditioning agents. Maybe I'm just thinking myself further and further into the oblivion 😅 this video gave me a lot of food for thought!
I have weird textured hair (in my profile pic I have it frizzy) and I started a kind of curly hair method to see if my hair would curl or wave and lose its frizzyness. It did, but I noticed that when I frequently used a protein based cream (it has a lot of coconut I think) my hair would turn into straw texture. Then I changed my routine to a water based gel and curl forming jelly and it started looking nice but after a few uses it would lose any curl or wave pattern I had. So I basically started alternating between protein and water based creams. I wash my hair once a week and in one week I'll use the water based then the second I'll use the protein based. So far it has been working. I don't have super nice curls but it's not frizzy anymore, just waves and curls and sometimes gets straight but healthy looking :) so for me it really is the balance between the two to have healthy soft looking hair.
That’s why clarifying shampoo and conditioners feel so nice and hair feels so light and smooth when you use them!
The amount of work you put into this and still remained respectful...wow. You're bringing so much change to the platform. Well done!
Thank you! 🙏🏻💜
Thank you for being insightful. I learned some of the things you mentioned in this video from a chemist blog a few weeks ago, but I could not believe it because the knowledge ran counter to everything I was told. There is a lot of misinformation in the black/kinky-afro community. I wish many African American gurus would watch this video.

Have you ever considered another degree in Trichology?
I actually recently got my Hair Practitioner certification from the International Association Of Trichologists. To be a full-on Trichologist, you have to be an apprentice after your schooling and actually work on people’s hair. I don’t really have any need for that, but I would love to take the courses and probably would just for research if they didn’t cost so many thousands of dollars. 😅
FINALLLLLLLYYYYYYYY. I ALWAYS KNEW THIS CAUSE IN HUMID CLIMATES MY HAIR WOULD SHRIVEL INTO A FRIZZY CURLY MESS!
So informative! I have been struggling with frizzy hair and a sensitive scalp, so this is ridiculously helpful, as are all your videos. Thank you, thank you! If the hair industry comes for you, we'll back you up! Thanks, girl!
Can you explain the thing with sensitivw scalp a little further? İ feel like it will somehow apply to me!!
Great video. It is in fact the ph issue that can be the most problematic as so many things can put the hair in a ph range that keeps the cuticles open, and as you said, reduces the protection. Surfactant-based shampoos, for instance, even the so-called sulfate-free versions, can do this. The cosmetics and hair industry creates so much alkalinization in hair and then promises miracle treatments that are simply conditioners that claim to be the fix. Alkalinization can be responsible for hair breakage, texture loosening, and as you also said comb force stress. Protein treatments left on too long or used too frequently, excessive heat styling, chemical processing, sun damage, salt/chlorine damage, and excessive surfactant shampooing to name only a few can destroy the hair bonds or alkalinize the hair leading to damaging the cuticles' ability to properly close. These are things that I have known for a long time, but you put them into words here that effectively explain these key differences and how they are misused, specifically to create higher profits for brands :-)
I feel like I have so many more questions than answers now. Right when I was trying to figure out an actual hair routine.
Ikr!? Like mine isn't straight. It's definitely not curly. I tried this curly thing but it's just TOO much. I wanna let my hair grow out but also so frustrated I'm about to just go britney in this bish and shave my head cuz I give up. I also have ZERO hair n makeup skills. Yay for all natural beauty cuzzzzz lol
@@aliciaaltom6652 yeah! Mine is curly/wavy and soooo frizzy no matter what I've done! I'm also always tempted to just save it all lmao. I just want decent hair I don't have to spend a bunch of time on!
@@bethbenz5585 i think this video was getting at the idea that less is more. constant protein-moisture treatments, acv rinses, etc could be doing more harm than good. invest in some “salon” quality shampoo and conditioner for your hair type, and maybe one leave-in product (like a curl gel if your hair is curly/wavy or a leave in conditioner if your hair gets rough and frizzy very quickly)
Same!! I feel like she didn't really make a point at the end
Ok I’m definitely subscribing cuz is really cool that you did all that research and try to explain it in a way that ppl would understand.
this is one of the most informative videos about hair iv'e ever found(Great Video!). Also turns out that iv'e pretty much been doing everything wrong when it comes to my hair due to a lack of knowledge and mis information over the past few years. Thank you for clearing so much stuff up.
The amount of products and work that goes behind defining one's curls makes me wanna leave my frizzy hair as is :/
Hats off to you for trying out and following the process religiously!
what I learned from my doctor is that the hair can be a deposit to minerals that the body access when there isn't enough on your diet or you aren't absorbing it (sometimes because the duodene is irritated). my hair was curly from the roots, I changed my diet with the help of this doctor because we found out I had a gut inflammatory issue, and in 4 months my hair became STRAIGHT. I am absolutely not saying that curly hair is automatically a sign of an illness, but just to show how much diet changes things. My hair has no chemicals or treatments, i wash it with soap and no conditioner, and I haven't changed any products and it went from curly, like, actually spirals curly, to straight. So yeah. To this day, if my disease flares up, my hair starts going curly again. There are studies also about the color of hair in people who are malnourished, there's a term for that but i forgot, some photos show people with horizontal stripes to their hair showing variation in nutrition. talking about food is delicate and boring (like, i'm severely allergic to brazilian nuts, corn, wheat, a lot of stuff that's everywhere and that's supposed to be super healthy, and apparently about 40% of people have untreated food allergies), but to me it proves the influence of food in hair health.
That’s Interesting, can you tell us what the changes you made with your diet and how to know if the body is not absorbing minerals ?
WOW! Please, tell us your diet.
@@linablues6881 I won't for one simple reason: it doesn't matter. It varies from person to person. I did a billion blood tests to know my minerals/hormones/vitamins levels, then I did another to get a grasp on my food intolerances (apparently they use the blood, the food protein and electric shocks to measure it. I thought it was interesting). Once I got rid of the things that I'm allergic/intolerant to - cross contamination included - then my hair changed completely. My doctor (who has a similar condition) was the same. I also struggled to lose weight my whole life no matter what doctor-prescribed diet or how much exercise I did, and later found out it was hormone imbalace. Once that was "fixed" and I knew what to eat, I shed 16kg in 4 months - not saying it was easy, I can't ever have a piece of cake without feeling ill for 3 to 5 days, but to me it was worth it because I'm much healthier. I'm not trying to make myself a success story, just saying that it all ties together, you know? I'm intolerant to stuff that's considered healthy like brazilian nut, plums and corn, even. It's weird and very personal, so my diet won't apply to anyone else, I think.
@@amani6724 I did two types of blood tests: a bunch to know my vitamins/hormones/minerals levels, and then another to gather info on my food intolerances (which apparently 40% of people have on some level). Once I stopped having contact (even in cosmetics) with the stuff I'm intolerant/allergic to, then I noticed the changes. I also lost 16kg in 4 months after a lifetime of struggling with weight loss, regardless of the doctor-prescribed diet or exercise regimen I was in. But it's personal, it will change for everyone, so there's no point in me sharing my diet, I think - I'm intolerant to stuff that's considered healthy, even, like plums and corn and brazilian nut. Major change I'd say is that our usual diet is based on carbs (bread, pasta, rice, cake, fruit, that sort of stuff) and my consumption of that sort of stuff became VERY limited. But I really think the biggest difference came from stopping contact with stuff that I'm intolerant to. It wasn't easy - like, I can't have a piece of cake withoutf feeling ill for 3 to 5 days - but to me it was worth it, because my exams came all over the place and I was really scared, and these changes fixed it. So yeah. I'm under the care of a nutrologist, by the way - which is different from a nutritionist. Hope this helps.
Sulfur causes hair to go curly. Well... technically... the inability to process (use, make available) sulfur in the body
Her dedication to this is amazing! So awesome to hear her scientific findings
I got the book! HEAVY READING! I miss her vids so much. So I’m (almost) ready to take her mantle! No one reads these, but commenting makes me feel like she’s still around. You were one of a kind. Literally! I’ve scoured the Tube, and NO ONE even comes close. Still missing you, Sarah!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!! Im a girl who is a nerd for chemistry and beauty and Im so happy I found your channel💜💜💜💜💜
Your channel has been so helpful with my hair routine!! Before, I’d never use heat, I had gotten my hair washes to go from 2 days to 5-6 days. I was washing my hair with cold water, but I was still seeing breakage. I couldn’t seem to find helpful videos that delved into the science of how hair works, whether wet or dry. My problem was that I wasn’t being as gentle as I’d assumed when my hair was airdrying.
Anyways, being able to understand how my hair works when washing/ how to handle my drying hair has really made the difference. It’s been two months since I found your channel and I already see a significant difference. Thank you!!
I’m so, SO glad to hear that they’ve made a difference for you! Makes the many hours of digging through peer-reviewed journals and dense science textbooks absolutely worth it ☺️💜
What do you do differently now when you air dry your hair?
@@SarahIngleOfficial your hard work is appreciated!
@@janamae88 I started the process about 4 years ago. I didn’t really have a time frame in mind or anything, I just knew washing it everyday was bad.
I stopped using products with silicones, and I started using my Garnier Pure Clean conditioner to wash my hair instead of using a shampoo. I slowly started spreading out the days of my washes.
About two years ago is when I started washing my hair with cold water only, at that point I could space out my washes to 3 days (4 if I was lucky). Then later I hit a point where the conditioner method wasn’t working. The conditioner wasn’t cleaning as well with the water temp, so I switched to a clarifying shampoo.
After switching to shampoo, the process of spacing out washes was a lot easier. Within a few months, I was able to wash it every 4 days. Then every 5. Now I can sometimes do 7.
What I did won’t work for everyone, but that’s how I did it. Btw my hair is 2B.
@@ducklingscap897 My problem was that I was being too rough when towel drying it. I mainly struggled with my hair breaking at the top of my head. I thought I was being soft, but I realized that even the smallest tug at my hair can make it break when wet. Putting it up in a towel, even for a minute, is bad. Brushing it while wet, even gently, can still do damage to my hair.
Now, I brush my hair thoroughly before showering. I spend a few minutes trying to squeeze all the water out after washing, then I use a clean cotton shirt to gently grab/squeeze as much as I can (while being very wary to not pull my hair at all.
After that, I try to part my hair with my fingers, and it doesn’t really get tangled so I slowly brush through it with my fingers just so it doesn’t dry weird. I apply my leave in conditioner and then wait. After it’s completely dry, I brush it thoroughly
Thank you for digging in and doing all the heavy lifting for us research wise!
Thank Goodness you exist. I am also a research nerd and have been researching every.single.thing I use in my life, starting with beauty products. I am so grateful you did this one for me, seriously though. It makes me feel relieved. Thank you for the effort you put into this.
Hair person here! Not mad at all!! Thank you for the free education as a recently licensed cosmetologist I love learning from your videos!!
Hey Sarah! I really enjoyed this video. It's the first of yours that I've seen. It came out at the perfect time, since I recently began getting more concerned about what I'm doing with my hair. I often don't trust products/brands because I have a lot of health anxiety. I often wonder which products work or are healthy or are things we really need or just are made to think we need. Some products actually do the opposite if what they are advertised for and I think that really sucks. I think this could be part of a bigger conversation about the cosmetic/skincare/haircare industry. We don't even know what we are putting on our bodies a lot of the time. Or we are sold something as part of a care routine that we actually don't need. I wish there were more transparency. I love that you came at this with a scientific approach. That's really cool. I love finding UA-camrs who go more in depth with things rather than just repeating something they found on Cosmo or a random blog.
Wow this is very interesting. It just goes to show that if you can control what a group of people are “educated” about, you can essentially control how that group of people behaves/spends its money. Keep up the great work! Could you maybe plan to make a video testing out popular conditioners/hair masks and their PH levels? I would love to watch and be more aware of what I’m putting on my hair! 😁
Agreed, I don't think I have ever seen products listing a pH level on it, so it would be cool to see a video on products based on their pH levels
I didn’t think I was gonna love this video as much as I did. Thanks for a great video. Keep up the good work.
I live in a tropical country and I TOTALLY relate to the first one with the relative humidity. My hair almost NEVER cooperates whenever I'm styling during the day and the sun is strong and it's hot and humid, but when I'm fixing/ drying my hair at night after showering, it always goes the way I want to. It's frustrating, my hair is nice only when I'm going to bed!
This explains the conflict of UA-cam advice and what works for my hair.
"You could jump in a pool😬🤷♀️"

You’re the first person I’ve seen mention this, and all I have to say is THANK YOU. I was afraid I was the only person ever who thought it was funny. 😅

@@SarahIngleOfficial It made me laugh. 😆
Of all of your videos, this one is probably my favourite. It's cleared up so much that I didn't understand about hair
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this! I have never been so willing to be taught by a UA-cam video!
this video was so shocking, thank you for informing us. watched all the way through and i’m subscribing now!
2021 just started and Sarah's already out here spittin facts WITH peer reviewed sources😄😄 Also I agree that it would be great to get an updated hair care routine! And yeah, getting Brian in on it with his talents would be a cool and funny touch! I think it would be so funny watching you do a video but talking with a different voice (or many) coming out of your mouth. It would be like the longest, most entertaining, highly informative tiktok of all time 😂
I’m basically sitting here in a pile of peer reviewed sources up to my eyeballs for this one video. 😆
And I really wanna do an updated hair routine - maybe with Brian. 😆 I just feel like it may be a little bit of a stretch to try to force the two together? Like for people who were here for the Disney days and are still here in the hair days, (first thank youuuu) it makes sense, but I think most people might be suuuper confused. I need to figure out a way that it makes sense and isn’t super bizarre 😆 it’s also like if I’m going to do an updated routine based on science, it runs the risk of undermining video’s credibility if it’s all in a Disney character’s voice. 🤔 so, yes, I wanna figure out a way to do it, but it has to be the right way. Because if a video flops, not only do I not make virtually no money, but it can tank how much UA-cam recommends the entire channel. It’s a dangerous game to play without enough subs to know I can consistently make enough $ to pay my bills.
@@SarahIngleOfficial I totally understand! Obviously I don't want your earnings potential to decrease because of a silly video. I just thought it would be a fun change of pace and agreed with the other commenters, that's all. We know you'll figure out a way to put out the content your subscribers want!
That actually makes sense cause when it's humid out my hair gets poofy because it has water in it so it's moisturized. You should do a more in depth protein video
THANK YOU!! Thank you so much for cutting through all the BS that's endlessly perpetuated and actually doing the homework I've never actually wanted to do.

@@bunniesandkitties4407 So glad you found your way here!
I ept hearing that coconut oil was robbing my hair of moisture, so I replaced with aloe products with awful results (Florida humidity) - hair blew up and my hair felt 'drier than ever! Thanks for explaining why!!
Such a nerd! ♥️ I love that! I would not have energy to do that research myself, thanks for all your hard work 😊
I also thought hygral fatigue was made up!! Glad you confirmed what it really refers to and this and cleared up the concept of moisturizing!
Watching this while putting oil on my hair trying to "moisturize" my hair.
Lol! I learnt that oil is not moisture a long time ago.
Oiling you hair is not wrong though. Oil is hydrophobic and essentially prevents hair from getting water in. The human body does this naturally by producing sebum. If you brush your hair the sebum distributes on your hair and prevents it from frizz and this "dry" look that is actually caused by water. That's why oftentimes the tip of the hair looks dry. It is hard to get sebum all the way there. Putting some oil on the tips is a good trick :) but indeed it is not moisturizing.
@M e it doesn't moisturize. its like a sealant or barrier that keeps water out
@M e i think thats why she said "moisture" with quotation marks, knowing now after watching the video that oils dont moisturize :)
I think is a problem that only exists in english. I mean, in spanish we use “ acondicionadores” , there is no other word, if you have your hair dry you put “ acondicionador” ( conditioner) to hydrate your hair, end.
Yes in Germany we also only have one word for it which literally means "rinsing" because you rinse it out. I was confused at first when I tried to find the equivalents of the words in my language.
what about labels such as "mascarilla hidratante", or conditioners that claim to be moisturising? there are lots of "acondicionadores" that are followed by the word "hidratante". it is the one you would traditionally buy if you feel your hair is "dry" (whatever that word means now)
you are so good at this! So much fun to watch and so informative. Thanks for sharing!

Edit: I’ve started listening to some of Sarah’s tips and I’ve seen some crazy results!
😍💜
Hyram seems like one of the nicest people everrrrr 💜 love how he has introduced skincare to soooo many people!
Hyram doesn’t know anything about actual science of skincare, that’s kind of offensive to compare Sarah’s extensive research to him. She’s the Lab Muffin Beauty Science or Cassandra Bankson of hair care because she’s exposing the lies people like Hyram still believe. He’s genuinely not a good source for skincare beyond the surface level of “ingredients that are good and bad”. Most of the ingredients he hates, Cassandra has already debunked as they aren’t actually unsafe or “dangerous for the environment”.
@@momohinamori757 Oh wow! I do think that Sarah puts a lot more effort into research (no offense to Hyram). I’ve never had any issues with acne or anything so truly all Hyram did was introduce me to skincare. You definitely have a point. Thank you.
Ahh my hair is so frizzy lately and you've made me realise it's mainly due to the humidity! I just thought my hair was damaged. Bring on summer!
i really appreciate your source transparency. and the conversational way you educate is friendly and entertaining. love this for you. subscribed.
You are an actual Pixar character and I'm so here for it 😩💕💘
Pro tip: If you want to read the Springer study but don't have the cash: sign up for your closest university library. Usually non students have the possibility to sign up too and I checked, university libraries in the Netherlands do that (there's a fee but that's infinitely cheaper) and my university library has the study on hand. Fourth edition, but hey!
That’s an excellent tip! Thank you!
Omg I didn't think of this until seeing your comment and I checked my university library and it has the $200 dollar book Sarah used in the video. I also found a bunch of other books and articles on hair. Thank you so much for the tip!
@@SarahIngleOfficial you could also use sci hub or libgen, kind of like the pirate bay of academia!
I'ma librarian and there is this voice in my head screaming: That's what libraries are for!
Every time someone mentions (too) expensive books, DVDs, CDs or other kinds of media.
I appreciate this comment a lot.
@@ducklingscap897 late answer here, libraries are of course helpful, but, for example, in non-English speaking country its hella hard to find a library that can satisfy your needs for science papers/books/etc
TODAY is my worst bad hair day, literally. Thank you SOOO much for this. It all makes sense now. You have saved me. I was starting to become hopeless.
Excellent video 🙌🏼! My worst hair day is practically every day due to a "magic" combination: high porosity curlers + living in a city with an annual average humidity of 70% 🥴🤣
OH MY GOODNESS! Thanks for shouting me out!!! Wasn't expecting that at all. Been having a veeerrry rough and stressful start to the year, and it means so much to me that you did that
You’re very welcome! ☺️ Thank you for being so supportive! Hope the rest of your year starts turning around for you and that you have an incredible 2021. 💜
follow up question..... what does "conditioning" mean then?
EDIT: *Please stop explaining what you think conditioning means.* I'm not looking for explanations from other laypeople like myself. This comment is to point out that this video tells us viewers and consumers that we don't know what's good for us without then telling us what *is* in fact good for us.
We are not told how to *actually* care for our hair besides "conditioning", which in practice means: buy a bottle that says conditioner on it. Only companies really know for sure what that means.
This does not empower the viewer with reliable, empirical information on hair care but makes us ore dependent on companies to make stuff for us. This could be a choice made by the lady who made the video but is most likely simply not specified by these "hair scientists".
I made this comment to point that out NOT look for 10 different theories on what "conditioning" could mean.
I’m no expert, but I would assume it’s putting a layer of some kind of substance (like oil) on the surface of each hair, making it smoother to feel, slide against each other, and easier to comb. Maybe helps the cuticles stay closed, some sort of humidity and temperature protection? Also maybe weighs it down a bit to reduce it flying to all sides and being affected by static electricity
My question too
I wondered the same...
@@Mijolite i think that explanation sounds very reasonable and I would explain it the same way, but my issue is that it wasn't explained in the video - either because she made that choice or because the scientists didn't bother to specify what it meant. So now all we can do is guess what is meant by it and I don't think that's quite right...
Ok so I'm not a professional but from what I learned on the internet, conditioning your hair means closing the hair cuticles to make the hair less porous. Lowering the porosity. Products with lower pH help lower your porosity and products with higher pH do the opposite. Conditioners generally have low pH of around 3,5 to 5,5, shampoo has pH a little higher to help cleaning your hair. Healthy hair generally has pH of around 4,5 to 5,5. Lightners and bleach have very high pH of 8,5 to 11, that's why they make your hair very porous right after you use them. Hope that helps.
I always questioned the terms.. it feels so good to know I wasn’t just thinking tooo much 😭😭
The best explanation of what I've been experiencing. I have hair porosity hair that tangles and feels rough wash it. Thanks now I know what to do
My worst hair day was when my hair wings sprouted while I was having a meltdown at college and my tutor couldn't take me seriously because my hair was standing to the sides of my head like wings.... she ended up in a giggle fit... I didn't appreciate her mirth.
I can relate to that. I'm a hs teacher and students dont take me seriously cause my hair is thick, wavy and abundant.
Also you’re amazing for including a table of contents with time stamps!!!! You tubers should normalize this!
I started adding them, and I finally realized this time that I have to make the first one 00:00 in order for them to actually show up as “chapters.” I was doing it wroooong before 😆
Really appreciate how informative this js. Thanks for doing all the reading for us beaut ❤
