    Scalp health is super important and I feel like it’s a misconception to not wash your scalp and that’s it’s good for you. If you are someone with an oily scalp please wash your hair and condition your ends well as needed instead of using dry shampoo. Not washing your scalp can lead to clogged follicles and that can lead to hair loss in itself Washing your scalp when it looks greasy and conditioning your ends often is amazing for hair health and growth. If your scalp is clogged and dirty all the time then your hair will not grow as efficiently and healthy as it would of your scalp is clean and not clogged with sebum, dirt and pollution.

      Very true that scalp health is very important. That’s why I use an exfoliating shampoo twice a month and always shampoo twice everytime I wash it. But it’s also equally true that your scalp produces natural oils that are very healthy for your hair so it’s good to let them sit for a bit instead of washing too frequently. Washing your hair once a week will not affect your scalp health. You’d need to go a good 10-14 days for your scalp to get clogged. Either way everyone is different so test things out and see what works best for you! 🙌🏼🫶🏼

      @@AmyMacedo well if that’s what works for you I’m glad. But personally I have a greasy scalp and have to wash daily and if I don’t then I lose more hair in the shower and my scalp gets sore. But any dermatologist and chemist will more than likely tell you sebum clogs follicles and fairly quickly depending how greasy you are and it’s not good for them to be sitting on your scalp for too long. The oils attract so many pollutants and dirt that just sit on your skin and in the follicles till your next wash. Your scalp skin is like your face skin and should be washed often if you don’t have a dry scalp. Reading studies on this has been helpful to know facts instead of going off of opinions. And also adding in a sulfate shampoo once a week or every two weeks it’s super important for someone who uses pretty gentle products regularly. Those surfactants will really get everything off. Ive started to see a lot of people talking about washing their hair more often instead of once a week because hairdressers constantly say you can’t wash it more than once a week. And these women have had amazing results and their scalp and hair is healthy again. And they don’t feel ashamed for wanting clean hair more than just once a week. I wish this washing once a week stigma would go away.

      Well, she has super long hair and its healthy and she says washing once a week attributes to that. I have 4b hair and I wash my hair once every 2 weeks and my hair is down to my butt and very healthy :) to your point, I agree that washing often has benefits to the scalp, but It’s also true that for some people, those natural oils promote hair growth :)

    • @shelby2493
      @shelby2493 Рік тому +1

      @@sierra.s having 4b hair is a different story and I can’t say anything because I have no experience with it. But I know a lot of women with that hair type prefer to wash less often and I think mostly because it’s a lot of work and your hair type doesn’t get weighed down as easy and pollutants have a harder time getting to the scalp since your hair is so dense. but for some people their hair may be long which can always be genetic but a lot of people experience hair loss and not even realize it and washing more often could definitely prevent that. And mostly people with greasy scalps. Malassezia yeast can over grow on scalps that are greasy and dirty and that leads to inflammation, infection ect. And then hair loss. Washing prevents this from happening. But everyone’s scalp environment is different and people with dry scalps don’t usually have this issue.

      But also you HAVE to find what works for you! I love that Amy found what’s works to add shine/length to her hair. It’s so individual! All the sebum made my hair fall like crazy 😭. MY scalp doesn’t do well with it. Loved watching her routine. The scalp scrub I use is by brioego and I loooove it 😍

    I wash my hair about once or twice a week. It gets hold from grit and grime! Looks amazing! Braid it at night, satin bonnet. Waves in the morning. Never had more compliments than when I gave up heat and color and added in oils and less washes. I try to detangle daily so loose hairs release and it doesn't get matted. Nature is your friend!

    Ever since I found you - these videos were always my favorite because, girl, there are very few people with people that have such great hair and I would actually trust that I know what they're doing. It looks healthier than ever. I am not sure how to get my hair back on track. Its the longest its ever been and I have insanely thick strands, they are so strong but since been dianosed with a chronic condition (its prognosis is now terminal) the medication I am on, and the fact that I am on a liquid maximum cap as well as being five months out from having my daughter - my hair is struggling. It tangles and matts so easily, dries out and products that used to work for me now just make my hair crust up, ugh. It is what it is but I will live vicariously through you and these kinds of videos instead of letting myself feel bad over something so trivial. Anyway, you're incredible, Amy. I am so glad you are posting more often. I hope you are enjoying it again though. ❤🎉

    As a guy that’s been growing my hair out for over 2 years now, this was helpful!
    I need to remember to only condition mid length down and only shampoo my scalp.
    I’ve had very short hair all my life until I met my fiancé and around 6 years in she “suggested” I grow my hair out and I finally decided to but it’s been a complete mystery on maintaining it since 🤣 definitely been a learning experience!
    Need to get a shower brush for conditioning(great idea) and a scrubber thing for my scalp!

    Hair care is key. We may have different types of hair, naturally curly, straight, wavy, oily, dry, do your best to give your hair some love. One of my tips was one you shared, gently brush your hair before washing. Also, if you dont use clean products avoid any hairsprays, gels or mousse that contains alcohol. Alcohol is very drying that can whisk away the moisture that your hair needs. I remember the vlogs, before and when you dyed it black plus the vlog where you bleached it. I like the color you have now but I prefer the darker color on you. Your makeup vlogs with black hair was a vibe. TFS Amy 👍🏽🖤

    • @AmyMacedo

    • @jos-1994
      @jos-1994 Рік тому

      @AmyMacedo the darker color suits you. The good thing about going dark is that it's easy to darken. You can go darker next time since color fades over time even with the best products to extend the color lifespan 😊

    I used to have dark brown hair dye back in the day, it was tailbone length people asked me if it was my natural hair 🥰 my sister owns a hair salon and we did a blonde balayage in 2019, I loved the blonde so much and I miss it but initially it messed my hair up pretty bad, my hair broke off then it got better thanks to Olaplex and it grew back... In 2022 I decided to cut my hair and go back to brown because it's my natural hair color (my natural color is a level 6) unfortunately I have to dye it because I already have some white hair even though I'm still young 😰 but I highly suggest to avoid black hair dyes because if you want lighter hair it will break off eventually because it's very hard to go back, in fact my sister is trying to cover my white hair with a demi formula, so it's easier if you want to go lighter... But yeah dark hair is very sexy and sultry but I try to not go too dark otherwise the hair will damage so much if you want to get some highlights! To be honest I'm trying to avoid them for now because brown hair suits me and I want to give some rest to my poor hair 😅 I'm trying to use clean organic products like you and I see the difference! My hair loves silicones but I noticed that when I try to use less cones my hair can get very shiny and healthy on its own, I don't want my hair to rely on cones too much because if you skip them on a wash day, let's say you don't have your products, you're not at home for whatever reason, your hair will look nasty! Also makes you wonder, cones coat the hair there's no reason to deny it, this coating can be beneficial on damaged hair to protect it but on brown hair it's unnecessary, I don't want my hair to rely too much on cones that's all... I'm trying to make sure my hair is strong on its own without the help of silicones and it's working pretty much...
