Love this! Thanks for telling us what products are good by hair type. Most content creators just suggest or bash products that are good for their hair concerns.
I have moderate dry, damaged hair. Using a blower dryer and flat iron for years, plus coloring has taken a toll on my hair. I’ll check out your list of products and will add a bit of oil before shampooing. Thank you for your suggestions and tips!
O my gosh! I was just thinking about doing these two alternatively every other week. I found your channel after a recent awful hair cut..should have looked before! O well hope grows out and in the meantime I will work on getting my fine locks pretty.
Love these tips and products. I do use a hair oil by Vitality and it has been a game changer. I will also add a good hairdresser that knows how to cut your hair based on texture, density and your lifestyle is worth her weight in gold. I have one now and I really love my hair again. Thanks for all your effort in bringing the best to hair care. You are gold my friend.
I truly believe you are correct on the shampoo and conditioner when repairing/rehabing hair, I have a sensitive scalp and I can tell you I felt the olaplex shampoo was drying to roots and scalp, and at times other shampoos are just to much moisture or oil and irritate, you need to find a shampoo that is best for you, not just because what of it is says it does. Im still on the hunt lol. months ago i tried the prolonger and it just did not agree with me, but maybe at that time it wasnt right. Might have to try it again......lol
Thanks so much for creating this amazing video. The break-down of steps in your C.A.R.E. system make it easy to follow and understand. Summer, you mention that you only do semi permanent color which has helped your hair health. I am wondering if I can use semi-permanent color to cover grays . . . or do I have to stick to permanent color? Also, do you get highlights at the same time that you do semi-permanent color? Would love a video that covers options for hair color that isn't too damaging. Thank you again for your excellent content and suggestions for all our hair questions! 🙂
Semi permanent sort of blends the gray, it doesn't fully cover it. I've been slowly lightening my hair this year, so I only do my roots when I lighten it. The color I used matches my natural super well and I hardly have gray, so I don't do it very often. Last yr I think I put color on my roots maybe 3 times? Will add your video idea to my list.
Hi Summer. I had apocalypse hair damage starting at the end of summer last year. I'm not out of the haunted woods yet. I'm 53 and never had a problem. I gradually got my hair cut shorter to just below chin length. I miss my long hair but I like the bob look too! I started using Pureology leave in, a repair mask(K18) in addition to a moisture mask (Moroccan Oil) once a week about 6 months ago. It's helped tremendously. But I'm still not seeing length progress like I thought I would. I'm going to use your tips for the next couple months. It's such a practice in patience as I sometimes panic thinking I am missing something or using the wrong products. Your videos assure me I'm on the right track. I'm going to tweak a few things based on what I just learned. Thank you for sharing this specific topic on the levels of damage. it was very insightful and clear. Do you recommend ProLonger or Moroccan Oil Volume for thin/fine hair with damage? Also, what oil did you use prior to shampooing? I've been using the OGX weightless version. It seems like it stays on my hair after washing. It could be my shampoo or that I'm using too much.
In high humidity areas like Florida. Do you recommend something for Fine “moderate damaged” hair, other than what you recommended in the video? I lightly put oil on ends before hopping in the shower I clarify about every 2 weeks or as needed. And just started using bond repair after shampooing (to get the best results on clean hair so I’ve researched) Plan on doing it like you said & then color fanatic leave in. But I feel cause of the humidity or maybe just my hair type? If I don’t wash every 3-4 days my hair feels more frizzy and needing conditioned/“dry” 😂 instead of feeling oily. I don’t have an oily scalp but it’s not dry either 🤷♀️ it just takes me awhile before my hair ever will look greasy. It’s odd
I’ve had all of these hair types but luckily it’s barely broken now. I have a hard time giving up my blow dryer though which I know is the one thing which will cause my splits😂
My hair is totally fried from flat ironing. I haven't been using the protectant spray every time so my hair is breaking off like crazy, especially in the front. What do I do when most of my hair is fried? My hair has always been on the dry side, but now is ruined. I only wash my hair once a week so I don't dry my hair out more. I use a repairing mask weekly but it doesn't not help the fried hair. I will try your suggestions. I don't want to ruin my hair anymore.
Type 2A here. Curious how you keep a sleek style in the Florida humidity without weighing down your hair. Thanks to your styling tips, the main part of the mane stays put for three days, brushed through and put up in a soft tie at night, but the summer humidity adds "texture" that reduces shine.
I'm so glad the styling tips have been helpful! The Florida humidity truly is bruuuuutal! If it's in your budget, a Brazilian Blowout is like pure magic! It does not take out your curl when done correctly and my clients with curls, some have found it helped them "bounce" more. I don't know that they really bounced more than just the humidity wasn't making them go as wild. Amika also has an actual just shine spray product which is nice for when the hair starts getting that dull look inbetween washes. You don't need a lot and hold the can far out from the hair!
Olaplex 3: I decided to strip all the color (dark brown) from my hair and let the natural white/grey grow. I used the Olaplex 3 twice weekly for 2 months before spending 2 full days at the salon getting it stripped and then weekly for 6 more months. Then I realized I had neglected my nape 😂 I ended up with a bristle brush back there. So when you say get it to every strand, you could not be more right. Live and learn
I have minimal damage since I cut off all of my bleached ends. At this point I'm just trying to baby it and take proper care of it so that I can keep letting it grow long. ☺️
Take vitamin E daily. Hair and nails. Diet, meds change as u get older. Change shampoo as you get older. Hair changes as your age. Shampoo changes. Trim ends weekly if needed. Massage scalp daily. Never brush wet hair
I lost a lot of hair from the matrix line. Had ridiculous amounts of shedding. Scared to try new products in fear of losing more hair. I have since switched back to moraccanoil brands. Any ingredients to look out for that causes these types of hair shedding?
I have the middle level of damage - new dryness and frizz with moderate breakage since May when I misunderstood a different stylist's UA-cam instructions. I used heat protectant spray for the first time (had never used heat protection before in my 55 years), and I guess got too close and maybe my hair was damp from the spray. I was using a heat setting higher than usual to try to get my style to hold so I could go longer between washes and make my hair healthier. When I woke the next morning, my hair looked like a dandelion. I have been trying pretty much every product and tip referenced in this video, but still have some days when I see little broken pieces on the bathroom counter. The question I have is about K18. The instructions say to shampoo, apply the product, wait 4 minutes without touching it, then style your hair as usual. Are you following this method or rinsing out and conditioning after? Thanks for any clarification you can give!
I'm really excited to try your tip of applying treatments x6 shampoos in a row. I feel like that would make a difference for those of us who've tried a treatment with OK/promising results but didn't think it would be safe to continue them back to back. I guess overall doing continuous treatments will depend on how the hair reacts! Thank you 😊
When it's severely damaged I find the 5/6 in a row really helps to start the process. Just remember after those first 5/6 you don't have to apply every single shampoo. Dial it back to the suggested amount in the video.
I have fine hair that breaks off. I switched to a conditioner based color depositing dye, I rarely heat style or blow dry my hair, I use pureology leave in conditioner and Olaplex oil. I use a hair mask every other wash and only wash my hair once a week. My hair is soft not damaged feeling at all, but it breaks off so easily. It always has but seems to have gotten worse since I turned 50, Help!
Color depositing conditioners should only be used sparingly as they are more drying on the hair. Their purpose is to refresh your color first, not repair/moisturize.
During the last heatwave up here, I just air dried my hair. My routine was RedKen Volume Shampoo and Conditioner, followed by Pureology Leave In Conditioner (bit the bullet n got a small one, it works way better than the Kristin Ess Leave In). If I do blow dry my hair I will use the Moroccan Oil Mousse and I have used TRESemmé Heat Protectant Styling, well I just got the one You suggested, Pravanna, but have yet to try it. Again way too hot to use heat on my hair and air drying although not perfect at times works for my fine straight hair.
Where do you live? The Pureology, is truly amazing! Ouais I find to be comparable as far as performance, but it's lighter for my fine hair. You'll have to let me know how you like the product from Pravana! I also you that often after I've used a texture spray or paste, when I don't need/want to wash my hair but I want some softness added back to it.
@@SummerBeautyc Alberta, Canada, we had a nasty 2 wk heatwave, it cooled down today tho now it's all rain lol. 2 days ago it was like 94 F (feels like 100F) and today it's like 64F lol quite the difference. My apartment finally cooled off today, yesterday I couldn't get it cooler than around 82F, during the heatwave it averaged around 86F in my living room (I do have a portable AC unit in my bedroom tho, living room just doesn't cool down)
If cutting your ends is necessary, is it better to cut them first and do masks after or should you strengthen the strands with masks/treatments first for a while?
It depends on how bad the ends are. You can sometimes repair but it does take time for your hair to heal, so depending on your patience and consistency cutting it might be easier. If you don't want to part with the length all at once, stay religious with the routine and maybe opt for small trims every 4/6 weeks to help.
Thank you for all of your suggestions! I will be trying “On The Eighth Day of Hair Masks”😮 I just would like to make sure after the first day no more shampooing?
The masks you mention are K18, Olaplex 8, and Redken. Couple of questions… K 18 says it’s a leave in, and the Redken you have linked is not a mask. What products are the masks that you covered with plastic and then rinsed out? The ones for the most damaged hair. I’ve rewatched but can’t figure it out. Thank you .
The Redken link is their heat protectant, you can find further Redken treatment products in my Amazon store front. For demo I used K18 and Olaplex 8. K18 is technically a leave in treatment, but I reached out directly to them and it can be used in shower and rinsed out as well, it just needs to sit the full 4 mins.
You can yes! I emailed them asking about this specifically. As long as it sits 4 mins you're good to go. You would use this after shampoo prior to a conditioner.
I think the damage to my hair started when I was using a round brush on wet hair as opposed to semi dry hair. The frizz was so bad and it is taking forever to correct! I do have coarse hair to begin with and I do use both the Pureology and Redken Thermal spray, my question is what amount do you recommend for medium length hair. I tried spraying it on directly and have recently started adding 6 pumps of pureology and 4-5 pumps of Redken to my hand and gently adding to my hair. I can't seem to get this right, sometimes it feels very coated and heavy and then there is times where I haven't added enough. What amounts do you recommend?
Medium length you probably need about 8 to 10 sprays of the leave in. It's best to spray it onto your hair in sections by either lifting or clipping up(if you want to make sure you're really coating). Make sure you're holding the bottle out away from your head as spraying too close will cause product feel and also not allow the product to spray out onto more of your hair. The thermal spray can sometimes be hit or miss with how many sprays because you want to make sure your getting protection but you also don't want to over spray. I would not spray that into your hands and then work through the hair because that's going to make it feel much more heavy on the hair. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
If I use the Living Proof bond repair weekly after shower, how often would you recommend a hair mask and in shower bond treatment?? It can get soooo confusing with all the options 🙈🙈🙈
The Living Proof works very similar to Olaplex/Redken/K18 so it can be used in place of those or you can opt to use a other brand in shower. Depending on your level of damage could use another option 1 or 2x a week. How do you like that one overall? I've only used it a few times.
I love it so far!!! Only been using it for a month or so and have noticed a huge difference already!! Was thinking about adding in another bond option in shower tho:)
How often would you say you should use a hair mask vs bond repair treatment if your hair is medium damaged?.. is alternating mask with bond repair every other week too frequent? Thanks so much for your interaction and channel!!!! I have been binge watching all your stuff and gaining SO much fun hair knowledge🎉
@@jennagoin4572 medium damage I would focus on 3x of use. So one week the Living Proof, then an in shower moisture mask, next week back to Living Proof. So glad you are enjoying the channel!
Do you have any silicone free recommendations for medium type hair, please? (it’s more fine than coarse) I have found that removing silicones helped my hair tremendously with damage and build up.
Hey Summer! Thanks for this video. I've been zero heat (like if I can't keep my hand in the airflow indefinitely, It's too hot. No curling irons, and no flat irons) for 3 years now, doing a variety of gentle shampoos and conditioning masks and some oils and yet I still have problems with split ends. 😢 Eliminating the heat made it so my hair could finally grow, it's past my waist now, when before it was barely bra strap level, but I can't seem to eliminate the split ends..... Even olaplex 3 didn't help. Any recommendations? I Really don't want to cut off all the length, but I can't seem to get the split ends under control. My hair is slightly more on the fine end, and naturally curly, and seems to be thirsty more often than not. For protection I do braids or top knot at night, satin pillow, the works.
I cut probably an inch every season change, so 12 weeks. If it's looking particularly thin or damaged I will trim it more frequently than that. The ends seem to get sparse fairly quickly, I'm wondering if it's just all of the old, damaged hair breaking off
My hairstylist has told me I have build up- so I’ve added a clarifying shampoo and I feel it “feels” better! I keep asking for more volume and she insists on a fresh, modern look. Can you show an example of a modern look with volume on top suitable for a “modern” 60 year old active woman!?
As a stylist, I get yours wanting to keep you in what she feels like is a modern look. However, she should listen to what you are requesting and be finding a way to give you both. I'm not sure how long or short your hair is but using a Voloom is completely life changing for creating volume in any haircut! I'll link it for you and I have several videos where I show how to use it! voloom.com/?ref=M70niRjzB_j62 Code: STYLESBYSUMMER20 will save you 20% off!
I’m at the hairpocalypse (extremely damaged) point .. do you have a salon that I can come to you to take a look and help me please? 🙏 I really am afraid and crying everyday 😢😢😢 my scalp hurts me too I don’t know what to do.. is there a phone number that I can contact you please? Thank you in advance for you help and advice ❤

The Living Proof works very similar to Olaplex/Redken/K18 so it can be used in place of those or you can opt to use a other brand in shower. Depending on your level of damage could use another option 1 or 2x a week. How do you like that one overall? I've only used it a few times.
I love it so far!!! Only been using it for a month or so and have noticed a huge difference already!!
Was thinking about adding in another bond option in shower tho:)
How often would you say you should use a hair mask vs bond repair treatment if your hair is medium damaged?.. is alternating mask with bond repair every other week too frequent?
Thanks so much for your interaction and channel!!!! I have been binge watching all your stuff and gaining SO much fun hair knowledge🎉
@@jennagoin4572 medium damage I would focus on 3x of use. So one week the Living Proof, then an in shower moisture mask, next week back to Living Proof. So glad you are enjoying the channel!
Do you have any silicone free recommendations for medium type hair, please? (it’s more fine than coarse) I have found that removing silicones helped my hair tremendously with damage and build up.
Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed!
Hey Summer! Thanks for this video. I've been zero heat (like if I can't keep my hand in the airflow indefinitely, It's too hot. No curling irons, and no flat irons) for 3 years now, doing a variety of gentle shampoos and conditioning masks and some oils and yet I still have problems with split ends. 😢
Eliminating the heat made it so my hair could finally grow, it's past my waist now, when before it was barely bra strap level, but I can't seem to eliminate the split ends..... Even olaplex 3 didn't help. Any recommendations?
I Really don't want to cut off all the length, but I can't seem to get the split ends under control. My hair is slightly more on the fine end, and naturally curly, and seems to be thirsty more often than not. For protection I do braids or top knot at night, satin pillow, the works.
You have to remember how old that hair is that is at your ends. How often are you getting a haircut?
I cut probably an inch every season change, so 12 weeks. If it's looking particularly thin or damaged I will trim it more frequently than that. The ends seem to get sparse fairly quickly, I'm wondering if it's just all of the old, damaged hair breaking off
My hairstylist has told me I have build up- so I’ve added a clarifying shampoo and I feel it “feels” better! I keep asking for more volume and she insists on a fresh, modern look. Can you show an example of a modern look with volume on top suitable for a “modern” 60 year old active woman!?
As a stylist, I get yours wanting to keep you in what she feels like is a modern look. However, she should listen to what you are requesting and be finding a way to give you both. I'm not sure how long or short your hair is but using a Voloom is completely life changing for creating volume in any haircut! I'll link it for you and I have several videos where I show how to use it!

My hair is extremely damaged and it always looks dry, frizzy and fried. I am trying to grow it out and don't won't to cut it.
Depending on how damaged it is, you may need to trim it some but if you start following these steps, it will make a huge difference!!
Since I stopped coloring my hair my hair is never dry anymore. It was all bc of the chemicals. But even natural henna dried out my hair a little bit.
It really does make a difference in feel in the hair. I only do semi permanent color now and it's been helpful to my hair health.
Does L’Oreal ProLonger have a fragrance? Sensitive to fragrance
Yes, it is scented. I honestly cannot describe what it smells like but it's not super strong and doesn't really linger in my hair.
It does have a fragrance, but as someone sensitive to smells I find it really light! I agree with the other comment, Idk how to describe it lol.
I’m at the hairpocalypse (extremely damaged) point .. do you have a salon that I can come to you to take a look and help me please? 🙏 I really am afraid and crying everyday 😢😢😢 my scalp hurts me too I don’t know what to do.. is there a phone number that I can contact you please?

Haircare tips from a girl with short hair :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD jeez....
Do you feel only someone with long hair knows how to care for their hair?
In high humidity areas like Florida. Do you recommend something for Fine “moderate damaged” hair, other than what you recommended in the video?
I lightly put oil on ends before hopping in the shower
I clarify about every 2 weeks or as needed. And just started using bond repair after shampooing (to get the best results on clean hair so I’ve researched)
Plan on doing it like you said
& then color fanatic leave in.
But I feel cause of the humidity or maybe just my hair type? If I don’t wash every 3-4 days my hair feels more frizzy and needing conditioned/“dry” 😂 instead of feeling oily.
I don’t have an oily scalp but it’s not dry either 🤷♀️ it just takes me awhile before my hair ever will look greasy. It’s odd
