I would love to be able to afford to use professional products, but my monthly budget is $15 for my hair. I get it cut for $20 every 3 months. I know I’m not the only one out there who is doing what they can with what they’ve got. 🤷🏼♀️
Exactly. Sorry but we can’t all afford high end and have to make do.
My favourite drug store shampoo is honey whole blends honey treasures by garnier! I get it on sale for 3$ a bottle :) I want to try their moisture conditioner. There are some drugstore brands that work pretty well still! My roomate uses the honey treasures and her hair is down to her belly button.
Even worse when professional hair care products ain't easily available in your country and you are living in SouthEast Asia 😭😭😭... And you are pretty much broke.. The professional hair care products cost a dime!!
Ulta would have sales on the redken products, maybe don’t get a cut if possible? Or add up your monthly budget and get a travel size? I used his recommendations and it really made a difference in my hair.
Try travel sizes. They’re less expensive and once you get the routine down, they will last longer than you probably think
As a European, OGX is already on the more expensive side for shampoo/conditioner for drugstore products. Not all stores carry this brand
Yeah, finding the right products as a European is kinda tricky.
@@Dojan5 exact! I even noticed that both products and tutorials for “straight” hair actually means “curly hair that’s straightened”. So my Celtic hair can’t look nice?
I do actually bought the Ogx Biotin & Collagen and im happy that he mentioned it as good.
I Hungary it does cost a lot of money but if it works i dont mind spending a few bucks for a product which good for half a year at least
I use it too and it helps make my hair look a lot thicker @@katalinvarga4886
We have more and better brands in Europe than in other continents. Most brands from America are forbbiden in Europe, due to being highly toxic, leading to different diseases, like cancer. Also non European brands are not designed for European hair, so they probably won't work anyway.
As @diekje8728 said, the products and tutorials recommended for straight hair are for curly hair that as been straightened. Which is not the same thing. So, if you have European hair, be it 1A, 1B or 1C (I have 1C), go for European brands. You'll be totally fine.
The highest difference I've found are: using wood and silicone brushes and combs, leave in conditioner, ionic blowdrier/iron/curler to polish your hairstyle so it last for days until your next wash, blowout cream, iron/curler heat protectant spray AND olive oil for the ends.
Yes, I use the olive oil I have in my kitchen, but marinated with rosemary I introduced in the bottle. And it's better than argan/coconut/avocado/jojoba/whatever fancy and expensive hair oil sold in beauty stores 😂I smell like salad, though.
This is the best hair channel I’ve ever found!
Totally agree!!!!
I have to say I agree 100%!!
💯 agree
100% agree!
Absolutely
I won't be able to afford the professional products but at least, seeing the striking difference this way, means I will stop trying to buy non-professional products hoping to get great results, so I will save money and time! Thank you for that 😊
so glad i found your channel. i learned that my fine(ish) oily hair needs professional volume shampoo. for some reason ive never really cared about volume (idk if growing up in the early 2000s with overly flat ironed, stick straight hair had a lasting effect on me lol) so volume wasnt on my radar. regardless of whether i wanted volume or not, this shampoo has been a game changer for me. my otherwise oil greasy hair now feels so light and soft and looks fabulous. i wont, but i could smooch that buzzed head of yours chris !!!!! 😭
That's awesome! Appreciate you 🙏
oo whatcha using now for volume? im the same too! professional all the way now. you use way less too. chris is right about it being concentrated!
What shampoo?
what shampoo do you use?
Which shampoo do you use
"I use Pantene not OGX" 😂😂 thank you for your advices and showing us on camera the differences! ✨
🤣🤣🤣
Wym?
Ive been using all types of hair care and my hair was the best with professional products I’ve been using Pantene now for a month or something and my hair was super frizzy heavy and I could feel the buildup on my scalp don’t recommend 🙈😍
I don't know why people like drug store shampoos most of the ingredients are bad for your hair I use natural shampoo free from parabens,sulfates,mineral oil,artificial dyes,propylene glycol and phthalates ingredients in other shampoos can be stripping and can cause premature getting of the hair ingredients matter
Premature greying*
This video has truly made the most difference for my hair! I never believed the hype and didn’t feel like I could afford professional products. But this video made me decide to give it a try and it has honestly made so much difference over the past few weeks. It felt like a splurge for me, but now that my hair is looking healthier I need to wash my hair less often so it most likely won’t cost as much as in the long rum as I initially thought. If you’re like me and are constantly buying new products at CVS, go ahead and follow his recommendations and spend that money on good products instead. Thank you for this video, love your channel!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was uncertain whether professional products are worth the price.
Where can we buy professional shampoo?
@@sarathapa8382 From my experience online stores gives you the best price. He gives a lot of suggestions, you got to find the best one for your hair too. I use Loreal or Redken on mine, he also uses Moroccanoil too on his videos, the top best one is Kerastase, but that is a splurge I can't afford right now.
@@sarathapa8382Amazon sells all the products mentioned
SUCH AN AMAZING IMPROVEMENT in lighting and filming your video! 🤩 it’s not the reason why we follow you but it feels so good watching you growing so fast 💕
How come you don't have millions of subscribers already??!!
I love your channel, your charisma, advice, and the simple yet well detailed explanation for each product/steps.
Love it!! 💕💕
I'm usually very sceptical about hair products, as my thick, curly and frizzy hair is as rebellious as they get and nothing ever seemed to work. However, Chris's advice to use professional products, including a leave-in conditioner and protectant has been a complete game-changer for me. I never realised how much of a difference this switch would make, and although the professional alternatives are far costlier than their drugstore counterparts, as Chris pointed out in another video, we're making an investment in our health - after all, hair is part of the body, and for women in particular, we'd like it to be our crowning glory and not something we want to hide under a hat!
Thanks Chris for your valuable recommendations! 💁🏻♀️
So as a curly girl which products do you use? I would love to know
Check out the link he has for recommended products
@@firdausali2473 At the moment I am using the Redken frizz dismiss range, but I will try out other products too as I go along, as I'm keen to experiment to find the best haircare for me. Good luck! x
As someone who has to wear a hat to be able to deal with bright daylight, I totally do less with my hair now, because no one's seeing it anyway. 😛
How's it a health investment?
Your channel has been a life saver! All of my life I’ve had one hair issue or another. Not anymore !🥳 Thank you so much for all of your help and HONESTY!!
I love it how you always find a way to educate us in such a hilarious and entertaining way 😁 I've discovered your channel only recently and got completely hooked on it. I appreciate it that your videos are so clear and informative. Great job!
I used to be very sceptical about spending more on hair products but previously had dry frizzy hair and couldn’t go beyond 2/3 days without re-washing. I’ve now been using professional products for about a year and I completely see their worth now:
1. My hair can now go about 5 days in between washes and it looks fine
2. I actually use less product with the professional stuff and as I’m not washing my hair as much I don’t think the cost difference is as much a it may seem, it’s just more expensive in one purchase
3. My hair is so so much softer and no way near as frizzy. It also holds styles a lot better
Which products do you use?
What type of hair do you have and what products do you use ?
🫣😊
You don't wash your hair for 5 days? Gross.
@@milenam4977i guess she means shampoo not wash with water
I don't have the budget for the good products YET but just changing my routine and applying your recommendation and my hairs are already better looking. Can't wait to use the real stuff and boost my self-esteem!
Another awesome video from the Hair Whisperer! Your videos are a game changer. Since I switched to the products you mentioned in all your videos, my hair has never felt softer and looked healthier!
Absolutely love your advice! My fine ,frizzy, curly hair is now soft, shiny and manageable for at least 3-4 days. I got the Redken Frizz Dismiss leave in cream and the Pureology heat protector. I had the Revlon styling blow dry brush but never used it as I felt it dried out my hair too much. After watching your video on using it, it’s been a game changer! I now blow dry from both sides on “low” until my hair starts to feel hot..then I stop and move on to another section. Great tip! Now if you can do something about the 90degree humidity here in Southwest FL I’d be forever grateful 😍
The difference is crazy! I've been really upset with my hair the last 5/6 years. I thought it had more damage then it should. I only used drug store products but was very gentle with my hair. I ended up buying a clarifying shampoo and started fresh with Its a 10. It's like I have different hair. Pretty much instantaneously I had incredibly healthy looking hair. I can't go back to drugstore. I am sold!
Same and I was trying to treat it as good as I thought with not blow drying it and still I had lots of breakage and apparently it’s because I needed to get a good oil to seal in the moisture.
@@samanthapateman8054 same! The guy in the video finally made me use a proper hair oil and in the correct way. I realised that the oil is not for moisturizing, but for stopping moisture from leaving the hair. My ends went from parched sad little sticks and weird fried and bendy locks, to silky, souple, manageable, soft and shiney hair! I use two Kerastase oils. They smell so good and look so great.
Which oils do you use from Kerastase?
@@samanthapateman8054 I will have to do that too. Thank you.
@@helenarichard you know, when I used biosilk my hair was super soft. I'll have to get some and test it out again.
I've noticed keratin products help me a lot. I have fine oily hair so normally keratin isn't the best but my hair eats it up. Definitely recommend it.
LOVE THE PRODUCT DEMOS!! So glad to have found your channel! and thank you THANK YOU thank you for showing us the products you recommend in action.
You’ve change my hair & have really become my hair dresser, I just go to my Salon, color, cut, wash style, no products are ever used for styling! Looking forward to following you into 2023🎉
Thank you for the comparison, but you are comparing two different products. I found the Argan Oil of Morocco is for hydration while the Redken is for fine / medium hair that needs volume 🤷🏻♀️
Hey Professor! I would highly suggest checking out Native's products. I didn't have the money to try new shampoo and conditioner quite yet, but decided to try double washing with my Native brand ones anyway to see if there was a difference. There was! I managed to get the leave in conditioner and hair oil later on, and my hair still looks amazing after a week or so. Native seems like they could have a good thing going on and may be a cheaper alternative for those who can't afford.
😮😮😮😮😮😮 love the side by side. Thank you.
Ps I’ve been converting to your hair methodology and my hair is SO MUCH BETTER! I’ve always had good hair but it got damaged this last couple years from too much heat styling, over washing, etc. A few weeks on your olaplex 3, leave in conditioner, professional shampoo/conditioner , 3 days between styling routine and it’s already so much improved, not to mention easier to handle in the morning now that I style it once on Sunday night and again on Wednesday or Thursday night. Also my dandruff/seboreic dermatitis has just about disappeared! THANK YOU for sharing all your knowledge ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, what really makes a difference is your videos, Chris! Thank you for your recommendations! They have changed my wash and styling routines dramatically - less flyaways, less time on styling that lasts much longer (3-4! days instead of 1!!!)
Love Redken products hope it won’t change at least in 5 months.
I took the hair quiz you recommended on your website and I use the products you recommended for my hair type and my hair never felt better. I'm impressed. I understand that drugstore products are there for a reason and no shame in using them. Just saying I personally love the Redken volume injection shampoo.
I love that this works for so many people. It unfortunately didn't for me, though. I bought everything Chris recommended for my fine & oily hair type and tried all the methods. My hair became shinier & smoother for sure but it also got very greasy after just one day. Before I could easily go at least 2 days without washing. Now I have to use almost a whole bottle of dry shampoo to even get me to two days. I switched back to my trusty pharmacy shampoo but kept everything else Chris recommended in my routine et voilá no more grease fest after one day :)
I have fine, thin hair too. One of my stylist described my hair as “all baby hairs” 😅 because it’s so fine.
The roots close to my forehead get oily very quickly. With my fine hair, the oil doesn’t have enough hair to soak it up and distribute it. I’ve hear that curly hair strands are more porous, so they soak in oil better.
My hair is so straight that I usually just let it air dry, and it dries straight. 🤷♂️
I tried everything recommended for fine hair, too. The Redken destroyed my hair and scalp. My scalp and hair dried out immediately but oddly enough it was greasy and static at the same time. I had to ditch it all.
I love the products he recommended got medium hair type which I guess what I have. But I definitely think drugstore products aren't always complete trash and shouldn't be bought.
Wait! Before you switch products, here are a couple of pointers, from someone that used to be in the same boat:
1) Give your scalp and hair time to adjust! So many other factors can affect the need to wash hair - humidity, electric heat in the house/office, weather outside, hormones, diet changes, etc. - the same factors that affect our skincare needs affect our scalp! If it still isn’t working after a month with the way you’re using it, then try:
2) switch techniques! Make sure to do a double wash on wash day, ideally with a clarifying shampoo first, and give your scalp a thorough scrub - I do about 5 minutes if I’ve been outside a lot, and no less than 3 for normal days. His “shampoo kung fu” technique is a great place to start. If that doesn’t help, last resort:
3) Try using less of the products at a time. Dry shampoo, in particular, can be overused quickly (trust me, been there, cried from that) and will cause the scalp to dry out. AND… an oily scalp is really a dry scalp, trying to compensate for the dryness.
Good luck!!!
High-end leave-in products are very useful. I can see the difference when I use them.
However, I save on shampoo because it’s all going down the drain anyway.
I gone through entire containers of high end sulfate-based shampoos, and I thought they worked similarly to my drug-store sulfate surfactant shampoos.
I think if I had thick, wavy, or curly hair, then I might be a lot more picky about shampoo’s, but I have an easy hair texture.
I have been a Pantene girl my entire life but I went to a new salon yesterday and the smell of the products they used has me seriously considering switching it up. Omg!!
Looks like someone upped their camera budget!
(I get lots of compliments on my hair thanks to your tips. Thankful that I’ve found your channel!)
I know longer use drugstore products on my hair but this video absolutely cracked me up lol. Chris/Christine, I loved it lol
I bought the pureology Leave in, redken rebel tame, olaplex bonding oil and ogx miracle oil. My favourite product that actually helped my hair after washing was the ogx miracle oil
This is one of my favorite videos you have provided, it really highlights the important products and lines them up in a way that makes sense. Thank you again!
So informative! The visual difference really hits home!
I have bought a redken clarifying shampoo because of your videos and for some reason I do not have any problems with dandruff anymore! I couldn't get any recommended conditioners, so I stuck with my new one.. But yeah, my hair does feel a lot better and I love the Olaplex oil :)
Brilliant explanation. I’ve just use Redken frizz dismiss shampoo/conditioner & stay in condition for the first time today, and what a difference. I’m a convert 😀
I found your videos maybe about a month ago and I really appreciate all your tips! I found out I was hair oiling wrong. With your tips, my hair has completely changed already!
Wow! You really upped your lighting and video quality game! Bravo.
When I faced hair fall, I followed all these to successfully control it:
Make a habit of doing massage for your scalp into your routine.
Do not use very hot water when washing your hair.
Protect your hair from too much sweat.
Use a dual tooth neem wood comb to detangle wet hair.
Cut down on your sugar and unhealthy food intake.
Use gentle anti hair fall shampoo and hair oil like Littleeextra coccconion.
Maintain a positive mindset for general well being.
Thank you so much for your honesty in all your videos. My hair has never looked better! Goal is to visit your salon next time I’m in your area!
I love love loveeeeee your videos! They’re informative, consistent, entertaining and to the point! Also, I love that you advice a ‘simple’ straightforward routine based on hair type. Other channels I was following were advising SUCH an elaborate routine to save my hair - made me just want give up beforehand. You are my favorite hair guru! ❤ Love from The Netherlands!
this channel is amazing!! i’ve been using olaplex wash routine for a month now but my hair always goes frizzy and dry again when styling, this video helped me realise what i’m doing wrong and made me excited to invest in my hair again!😊
You should have used the volume OGX in the purple bottle instead of the blue Moroccan one since it was going up against a professional brand volume shampoo. The ogx volume purple bottle is the only brand that gives me amazing volume at the roots, better than any professional brand I have used. It was recommended to me by a hairdresser.
What OGX product specifically?
You had me at “Scalp massage!” I used to give those in school, put a student to sleep! I love them. Even getting your hair blown dry is relaxing!!
*Morpheus voice* what if I told you…. you don’t need a hundred dollar product to massage your scalp?!
So I watched this video and then I actually took his advice. I did the quiz and bought the products. It was a little pricey. I never buy salon products usually, but I thought I would try this experiment out for myself. Anyway I studied his video and used them exactly as he advised and my hair was amazing. Definitely worth it. Yes it was more expensive but I think I will not need to wash and style my hair as often, so I may even save money! My hair finally (at age 54), for the first time in my life, looks and feels amazing and shiny and polished! Thanks!
I love your channel and all your advice. I color my hair blond and your recommendations have made such a difference. I had really been struggling with frizz.
The information you share has changed my hair life! So blessed to have found your channel. Thank you!! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Found your channel about 6 months ago, the improvement in my hair is worth every penny spent on the professional products…which by the way I still have over half the shampoo, 2/3 of the conditioner, 3/4 of the leave in conditioner & heat protector. The hair oil will probably last longer than me as I only use 2 drops. Plus, I’ve been able to extend getting color to 8 weeks instead of 4.
Which products did you get?
I bought all of the products recommended for fine hair - Redken volume fanatic shampoo & conditioner, the Pureology leave in conditioner, the Redken heat protector and the Olaplex hair oil. I know not everyone’s budget could do this in one shot, but I do know that you can get travel sizes of the shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner. I have post menopausal hair loss and my once thick tresses are now fine. I’m doing my best to take care of what I’ve got and have been very happy with the results from this regimen
I would love to see some mature models vs under 40. Enjoy your channel very much and you have enlightened with regard to buying the good stuff. Super fine hair and the Pureology spray doesn't weigh it down or make my hair sticky or tangled.
I have to say he's bang on.
My hair was in shambles for years and I couldn't figure out why. I'd been using sulphate and silicone free gentle shampoos and conditioners which were not cleansing my hair and scalp properly. I never realised that and suffered with very thinning hair. I was miserable.
I finally decided to buy the redken extreme range and I've been using them for about a year now. I'll never go back, my hair length and thickness has literally doubled. Now I just need to try this olaplex no.7 :D
Hi from Brazil! I really love your channel, thank you for the tips! 💞
Would love to see a video of you working on shorter hair. Applying products mid shaft to ends is easy to see when hair is really long, but what about shorter and layered hair. Any good techniques? I did a search - if there's already a video and I missed it, sorry! Thanks for all of the good advice! 😀
I was laughing watching this video because you legitimately used the drugstore products I use and after 2 weeks I feel and see a difference. In the end, I think it will be more cost saving since I don’t have to drench my hair in the OGX shampoo compared to the volume injection shampoo (also got lucky with an Ulta Jumbo Sale!)
Thank you so much for the side by side! It really does help.
Woahh!! Stepping up the video quality!
Love your videos, Chris!
I would love a tutorial on haircare for swimmers (chlorinated water and salt water). Love your videos!! ❤
I started using the Redken Volume injection shampoo and conditioner and I love it. Was watching Chris's videos and they are really worth watching. I started doing the shampoo, conditioner, pureology leave in conditioner and protecting my hair with heat protectant which I never did before. Just can't seem to get the Redken 22 hot sets in Ireland. If you see this Chris could you recommend another one or where to get it. Going invest in paddle brush and round brush. Big shout out all the way from Ireland Chris 🇮🇪
I tried your tip on the multiple shampoo washes in the shower and my hair is still not oily on the 3rd day! This is life changing
Great lighting! Love the video
This channel has literally changed the life and look of my thick, coarse red hair! I can’t thank you enough 🎉 ok, so I bought the leave in conditioner and heat protector you suggested in another video, looks like I’m buying the shampoo and conditioner too. You are amazing ✨
Ok, but compare the ingredient lists of these:
Redken shampoo vs L'Oreal Elvive Volume Filler (filloxane is actually higher on the ingredient list than the Redken)
Pureology leave in vs L'Oreal EverPure 21-in-1 Leave-In
Recently saw your video and bought everything I needed except the heat protectant ( it wasn’t there in the other basics video). It cost quite a lot but I want to give my hair a decent chance. Super excited and hopeful.
Lol!! You are the best! Thank you for these videos! I have an Amazon cart with the products you recommended from your videos and site and am going to take some before and after pics. My hair is always this horrible puffy mess, so fingers crossed it works for my hair!!
Meanwhile, I'm thinking about how professional shampoos always flatten out my natural wave/curl pattern (best I ever found was the Biolage Ultra HydraSourve system) but switching to SheaMoisture Coconut and Hybiscus enhances my natural pattern even when I choose not to use extra product afterwards. And I had no change to the frequency that I have to wash my hair
First, I want to say a huge THANK YOU. I found one of your videos a few weeks ago and watched it with my husband. Little did I know he was going to basically watch ALL of your blow drying and how to keep curls for days videos!! My Christmas gift was a new 3/4 inch curling Babyliss nano titanium curling iron to replace my 1 inch ceramic hot tools curling iron. He got EVERYTHING you recommended for fine hair: clarifying shampoo (with proper shampooing technique! We went back together to watch some videos 😂), Redken Blow Out and thermal protectant. I already used Pureology leave in you recommend, so we were good there. My hair hasn’t felt this soft or full of lift with at home showing in I don’t know how long! 🎉 You are amazing! Thank you for what you do! ❤ Next I want to try the 3/4 inch iron to see if I can keep my curls for days!
I love the haircare system that he shares but Redken really makes my scalp itch!!
Cute!!!! Love the closing line!
Another note on OGX, for my hair it strips reds right out. I am a natural brunette and like to tone with reds. I was using OGX and noticed professional color with red in it bleed into the water and onto my towels for about two weeks. I happened to grab a small professional shampoo to travel while at the salon and noticed even my first wash after did not bleed. I have been using the professional shampoo ever since, and my red toner looks amazing until the grey/brown roots come in.
really? I think that may be an issue that i have too!
Hi Chris! I started watching your videos a couple months ago and have learned so much! I made the switch from Pantene to the Redken volume injection like the quiz suggested, and I love it! But since then I still haven't been able to find the Pureology leave in conditioner. Not even on their own website. So I was wondering if maybe they changed the name of the product since you made the videos, because I was able to find the 'colour fanatic multi-tasking leave in spray', but maybe that's something different?
Or maybe you could just recommend a second best option for me?
Also, do you recommend any curl cream or curl definers for medium hair?
Wow! Camera and sound quality is amazing!
Your List is SPOT ON!--BOUGHT EVERY PRODUCT LISTED AND HAVE ZERO REGRET. I just cleared out my product graveyard (except my mouse and gel when I want to go naturally curly..... A product list for that would be much appreciated).
I'm 49, and my hair is: long (past shoulders), thick and coarse, very wavy with some coils around my face and crown, graying- Sahara Desert Dry hair that I have not colored for 5+ years, that only needs to be washed once every 10-14 days. I cut my hair every 3-5 months. In the last 6 months, I have been battling knots that creep into my hair during the night, which cause breakage when brushing them out or a daily re-wet and recondition. I just bought every product on your list for my hair type and a Revlon blow dry brush. I have zero regrets.
I'm only 12 hours into my first wash routine and have cleared out my product graveyard. It includes but is not limited to: BedHead, Curl Smith, Ouidad, Not-Your-Mother's, Twist, Renpure, and many other cheaper Wal-Mart brands like Suave, Pantene, Aussie, and more.
Pros:
*I only need a small amount of shampoo for my hair for each double wash. It's going to last forever because I'm not going to use a ton of shampoo to wash crap products out of my hair anymore.
*My ends are already softer. Last night, when I washed and dried, I saw an immediate difference, but I was amazed when I woke up this morning, and they still looked and felt soft. It was the first time I woke up in months, and my hair didn't look like sun-dried straw, all tangled in knots.
*My mids are shiny, smooth, and bouncy. I can't ask for anything better
*My roots--I no longer need a flyswatter to spank the "fly"-aways. (or products or smoothing combs/brushes)
*The Frizz is nonexistent--It's gone, poof, goodbye! I can't think of anything else to say about it. The only place the Frizz belongs is on the Magic School Bus! Not in my hair.
*My hair smells great. I love it. Really! When I woke up this morning, it still smelled like I had just washed it before adding the Moroccanoil. Once I did add the morning oil, WOW. It smelled even better.
*Less product amount is needed. I know my hair. I HAVE to put oil in it every morning and every night, sometimes during the day as well. It is just that dry. I can still go almost two weeks without washing because I have ZERO oil build-up on my scalp. However, instead of 1tsp-1Tbsp of oil each round, I'm only using 1/2 a pump to one full pump, which is a very small amount for me. Maybe as I continue to use the recommended products, I will be able to cut back on that as well. Time will tell.
*The Revlon blow dry brush is WAY easier than the round brush and blow dryer. One hand is for the blow dry brush, and one hand is free for picking up the next section. AMAZING!
*Static--My hair is attached to a static-conducting globe. I usually wake up with mile-high hair. It was flat, smooth, shiny, and ZERO static this morning. It's like the cord got unplugged or the switch got flipped off.
*Space Saving--I cleared out products from under the sink, in the shower, and in a storage area.
In my shower: Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hair Mask
On the bathroom counter: Leave-In Conditioner, Hair Oil, Dry Shampoo, and brush
Next to my Blow Dryer Brush: Blow dry cream
Next to my Flat Iron: Heat protectant
Bonus: The Moroccanoil I put in my hair (morning and night) makes my winter-dry hands soft and smooth.
If, for some reason, you made it all the way to the end of this--I rode the fence for quite a while thinking the "list" of recommended products would be just another money pit. It wasn't. The entire "list" cost me about $200.00 in my area. That is a fraction of the cost of the following I bought in the past: Diva Curl, Monat, Wen, and many other high-dollar product lines, each reaching $350.00 (or more) because you need so many specific products to do specific jobs. I did spend an additional $45.00 on the Revlon Blow Drying Brush, and I have ZERO REGRETS.
PS: I am not a "paid" reviewer or commenter. I am a regular person who paid every single sent for all the products I've discussed. I paid closer attention when Chris reviewed high-end shampoo/conditioner products, and he only recommended 1-2 out of 8-10 (I can't remember exactly). I took the "plunge" when he reviewed brushes and recommended the Dollar Store $1.00 Lama Brush over all but one brush, out of 5-6. I'm pretty sure he said it brushed even better than his own personal $2,000+ brush.
Also, if it was (but it's not) a complete load of crap and my hair wasn't any better off, I would have written and copied/pasted $250.00 worth of negative reviews on every single video he posted on youtube. Why? He boldly stated in a few of his videos that I would see an immediate difference after the first wash. Chris was 100% telling the truth. I saw an immediate positive difference in my hair.
PPS: I'm going on a 14-day cruise in September for my 30th anniversary. I planned on packing the bare minimum of products so I could travel carry-on only. I know not everyone can go two weeks between washes. Because I can, I plan on bringing travel-size products and the blow dryer brush. It will all fit into my liquids bag, and I will definitely get 3 washes, maybe even 4. And I will still be able to pack carry-on with awesome hair!
I tried many professional brands and honestly, most of them weigh my down hair so much and leave some sticky residue, so it becomes greasy even faster.
Same for me. I tried so many professional shampoos and conditioner and I feel them on my hair, like my hair is not clean, worse than before washing so I stick to my clear shampoo and osmo hair mask.
I use the redken now for a week and at this time i havnt noticed a difference vs drugstore honestly. I always wash my hair 2x btw. The leave in conditioner on the other hand DID make a huge difference. At least for me 💙
how is it now?
@@monikap8777 really about the same as with drugstore. But the leave in condition is the bomb 💙
My budget isnt large enough to buy pro shampoo and conditioners but its nice to know another possible reason my waves dont look as nice as I want. Now if only it were that easy to find the right product to make my waves last without weighing it down...
I started using an oil on my ends after my trim about 6 weeks ago to prevent split ends and a sleep cap about 2 weeks ago and my hair feels less parched! If anything, I might spend a little more on the oil at least since the ends are driest.
You explain everything wonderfully straightforward and I appreciate it!
I hope Chris never gets another side kick 😄 I love that long hair, sassy Christie always asking all the tough questions.
I use a combination of higher end products (like olaplex) and plain old avocado oil and coconut oil etc. I agree that high-quality products are helpful, but I also want to add that inexpensive natural ingredients like oils give some of the best results imo and are always affordable! If you can't afford high end products you can always invest in high quality oils and make your own hair masks etc
Plus so much better for the body, the health and the environment!
Totally especially when my entire body is heavily toxic from chemicals..
Yes! And whilst I do get that professional shampoos and conditioners are more concentrated, they still also use the same chemicals as in drugstore shampoo. I always used to get bad build up from all the silicone in professional hair care 😔 Now I‘m using stuff without silicone
Coconut oil is a sealant 🙄
This was so entertaining. 😂 I love the faux client, especially the Pantene ending. 😭 I can’t wait to try a hold product for my next blow out.
Thank you so much for your videos ❤️ there is so much bad info. ❤ you have saved my hair ❤️❤️🥰
I just watched a video from Sam Villa Hair tutorials about how to make curls last and he said that the key was having some damage to your hair. I was just like what in the world. This guy Sam villa is a professional hair stylist and told me to damage my hair for my curls to stay. So thankful you are here to help and not confuse us like some other stylist.
What's your take on pharmacy shampoo ?
For what I can see in social media, it's not common at all to use pharmacy shampoo in the US, but here in France it's the most popular option and I can see why, I love them (particularly the brand KLORANE) since they focus mainly on scalp health. Although social media is influencing me into wanting to try professional products (I've barely ever used drugstore, I hate it), but I was curious as to what the difference between pharmacy and professional.
PS: Pharmacy doesn't necessarily mean dandruff/medicated shampoo ;) They are meant to be used like regular shampoos, they're just sold in pharmacies and the brands are part of skincare labs instead of cosmetic.
I love Klorane! Its considered a high end shampoo here in the US so I think it would be Chris approved
I wanna know too about pharmacy shampoo.
Has anyone noticed the the dark quinine Klorane has changed? It seems more diluted and the strong nice smell has dissipated… I bought my new bottle in England. My old ones where bought in France. 😔
@@etheriumrise39 Actually Klorane has reformulated all of their shampoos, they have removed sodium laureth sulfate and made the formula BIO so it may be because of that. However, personally the quinine shampoo is my least favorite of them because the small percentage of alcohol denat in it (used to enhance penetration of the ingredients given that it's a shampoo for hair loss) makes my hair feel disgusting. But this has happened with both the new and old formula.
A lot of farmacy shampoo sold in the EU is drugstore shampoo in the US.
The hell with drugstore shampoo I stopped using it a long time ago. I'm here because you my friend give me David Bautista vibes and I'm here for it. Love from the Jersey Shore and a new subscriber.
My New Year’s resolution is going to buy these recommended products. I’m going on a hair health journey.
Tomboy who never cared or understood beauty here. I have to admit that I have ALWAYS used cheap products as my family is poor. You got me to listen though, and showed valid evidence that has me reconsidering, so thank you. Subscribed.
I literally bought one small ogx (ogx biotin & collagen) shampoo in July last year and I’m still using the same bottle haha I wash my hair 2-3 times a week and the bottle still has 1/4 inside😳 before I used to buy a bottle of shampoo like every 3-4 months
Another great video, I also quit using drug store hair products and I’ve seen a difference, could you do some videos on taking care of permed hair? It’s really made a comeback.
love the content! Can you do a video about naturally curly wavy hair? Maybe a hair routine for natural curls best products to use to define the curls.
Hi Chris! I purchased the Redken Volume injecting shampoo/conditioner & pureolgy leave in conditioner as recommended by you and they are fantastic! I can definitely see the difference in my hair & only need to wash my hair every 4th day. My mum is also using this range. Thank you ! 🙏😊
Hi Chris !!! I have made some changes in my hair care and I’ve seen definite improvements. Thank you. But I swim 3 to 4 times a week , any advice on top of what you’ve already put out there ? I have thick hair as I’m a Maori from NZ.
8:52 i’m so glad i found your channel my hair is getting healthier thank so so much you’re an angel
Love the camera!!!! You now look super professional 🤩
I found your channel about a month ago and immediately started taking a ton of notes and changing my routine. I haven't changed any of my products yet, but only by learning the correct washing technique and using the Revlon dryer brush, my hair looks amazing already and stays cleaner for 2 days (for now).
I however struggle to actually find the leave-in conditioner and the dry shampoo you recommend, can barely find it online.
is it possible you recommend professional dupes for your "holy grail" products?
He said redken one united as an alternative leave in before.
I’ve used drugstore and professional and personally I think professional are better most the time! However there definetly are some drugstore hair care products that are still good!!
Please name some of the good drug store ones for all the people who can't afford the professional lines.
First time watching any of your videos and I must say you look absolutely stunning with the long blonde/brown/ highlighted hair
Best hair channel on UA-cam hands down! ❤
I care about my unruly hair, but i am so tired of the unrealistic finances that beauty channels promote. I wish these channels would label themselves as only for the wealthy
Explaining this through the formula would be great. Which ingredients does the drugstore shampoo have that the professional don’t have? And vice versa
Love this channel. So glad it popped up in my recommendations.
My fine hair is bleached from root to end all the way up to level 10, touched up every 1,5 months, while I'm growing my hair out. I follow Chris's regime for about 8 months now and I'm never going back. My hair is thriving, even with all the torments of bleach and dye!
Okay so I know we've covered grocery/drug store products suck, but. What's your take on Not Your Mother's? I don't have a ton to spend on hair products, regardless on how much I love my hair. If I'm not heat styling and just using not your mother's leave-in conditioner, is it decent enough?
Since this was focusing on the difference between drugstore and professional/salon *shampoo*, it would have been nice to see the finished result with the same styling products and conditioner on both sides to isolate the results from the shampoo, itself. I'm also wondering what kind of shampoo would be recommended for dandruff and/or scalp psoriasis. I've found it very difficult to find medicated shampoos that are good for hair health and style.
I have a super sensitive and troublesome scalp and have for some years now been using Philip Kingsley Itchy Flaky Scalp shampoo. It's the only one that hasn't lost its effect after a few weeks/months of use, making it better than the numerous medicated shampoos I have tried.
vichy dercos anti dandruff. let it stay for like 3mins before washing, use it 2-3 times in a week and you'll be good. and to prevent overdrying use conditioner, leave-ins and so on.
@@kathrinkaefer😮
I second vichy dercos. ducray kelual ds is great too and always works for me. I dont have psoriasis but i have atopic skin and sometimes i get acne and and itchy patches on my scalp and this shampoo always helps
That s more of a question for a dermatologist.there are some really good dermatolgy youtube channels.
Woah! You just explained to me my major problem about my hair, after all these years of my long hair journey.. I'm heart broken.. because my hair is my pride.. I tried so much to protect, it, I don't use heat, always air dried. I use satin pillow case, n safe protected styles, it's long lol likes to get in the way . But thank you for helpful info ... blessings to you
WOW i love your channel and i’ve learnt a lot since watching you’re videos thank you so much for the help! ps. the camera quality is stunninggg
Would custom shampoos fall into the drugstore bucket? Would love to see a video doing a deep-dive into customized products (like Prose, etc) or if any of your clients have seen success or not with them.
Oh same!!!
I’ve used the Redken Hair Cleansing Cream and, apart from smelling amazing, it does the exact same job as Garnier’s banana shampoo. If anything, my hair gets greasier quicker with the Redken. I can’t afford to keep buying professional shampoo so that’s something I compromise on!
Redden and Oplex don’t work on my hair. 🤯
