Last video we talked about how dry hair & moisturized hair don't mean what you thought! Here’s the hair science to help you on your hair journey. I've dug through even more peer-reviewed journals, notes from my trichology certification courses, & hair science textbooks to get you all the best scientific information on dry hair and hair moisturizing. Today I'm answering your questions about dry hair, moisturized hair, hydrating hair, and basically everything you guys asked last time.
Last time we discussed the truth about hygral fatigue, protein overload natural hair, moisture overload, balancing protein and moisture in your hair, and what it actually means to have dry hair. Today we'll go more into terms from skincare like moisturizing, hydrating, humectants, occlusives, and emollients that get pulled into haircare.

Part 1 is here: ua-cam.com/video/FdQnlQRlM2w/v-deo.html Thanks for asking so many great questions! Let me know if you have more, and I'll try to reply to as many as possible.
Saw that, of course.
Ah! Love your videos! I got so excited to see you made a new one, thanks for all the work and effort you put in them.
I kinda have an idea for a future video. Have you ever thought about trying to make diy scalp and/or hair masks that have a big chance of actually working? Something instead of cracking a useless egg on your head, baking soda 💀, or adding a bunch of humectants like you mentioned in this vid. I know this could easily become overly complicated (and that you’re a wonderful hair nerd and not a professional product creator) so I know this might be a crappy idea so sorry if thats the case.
You made another amazing vid! Thanks for teaching us so much about hair! ❤️✨🌟👑
Can you make a video on sulfates in hair products? Are they actually bad for your hair?
Can oil act as a condition?

I am a scientist with a PhD, although not in the hair science field.
I just want to say that the way you explain things and the questions you ask make you sound like a very relatable scientist. If you were a PhD student, I'd think, wow, she's going to do well.
Thanks for doing a great job!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 That means a lot. I try so hard to be respectful of real science experts because I know I’m definitely not one. I like learning and sharing, and I hope I do it in a way that inspires other non-experts to want to learn more, too - and maybe choose to study it and become an expert!
I would bet my entire life savings that you have no such qualification. There are no PhDs in the 'hair science field', it does not exist. Anyone with any level of STEM education would realise how ridiculous that statement sounds.
@@FuuuckOffff There are certainly scientists who specialize in topics related to hair. If you had any idea how to look for academic papers, you would know this.
When making a general comment, I'd call these people hair scientists, much like I'd call myself a cancer prevention scientist because pharmaceutical scientist specializing in cancer prevention research or an even more specific description sounds a bit too pretentious for my taste. I am not terribly concerned whether or not some stranger on the interenet believes me, but perhaps you can do us all a favor and take the advice of your name.
@@kate4781 Ah right, you just habitually make up terms to refer to your profession, that makes sense. You cannot get a PhD in 'hair science' and anyone with a passing knowledge of STEM would know that. Frankly, anyone with common sense would know that. You specialise in cancer prevention research, huh? I'm sure you'll have no problem linking to one of your papers.
@@FuuuckOffff But... she literally said she DOESN'T have a PhD in hair science. Are you okay? You seem weirdly pissed off.
This is a wonderful precedence for us to set. When we talk about “hair” it’s not just straight hair or wavy hair. Thanks for doing such great research work, it really shows and everyone can feel included!!
Thank YOU! 🙏🏻 It never made sense to me to talk about just one hair type. I’ve been trying to get access to some studies that have even more learnings about the curliest hair, but first couple places I tried told me no. They don’t realize how annoyingly persistent I can be... hahaha I’m not going to stop trying. We should ALL have access to quality information about our hair - not just people with straight or wavy hair.
@@SarahIngleOfficial yes!!! ❤️❤️
@@Koki-hc3mw I want to be supportive of other women creators. Especially Black women. And even more especially when it comes to Black women and your hair. Your hair has significance to you in ways mine cannot. Black women throughout history have been and continue to be some of the greatest innovators in haircare, and you deserve to be lifted up and acknowledged for that. It’s not my place to argue or try to convince anything; I do believe ethically it is my responsibility to share the evidence we have from research, and you can do with that whatever you want and it’s none of my business.
At the same time, I do feel I personally was misrepresented in that video. I have a Hair Practitioner certification from the International Association of Trichologists, which is the same place she got her Trichology certification. Since certifications are not degrees, I’ve never called myself an expert. The experts on this aspect of hair are cosmetic chemists; neither of us has a degree in chemistry, biology, a medical degree, or anything of the sort. I’ve consulted with cosmetic chemists both before I posted and after her video came out, and they’re in alignment with what I shared. Ultimately, I still think Afope is an incredibly intelligent, well-educated resource for hair knowledge.
@@Koki-hc3mw In science, nothing is ever proven. We take all the evidence we have at hand and make the best conclusions we can with that evidence. And when we have more evidence, our conclusions and views continue to evolve.
Though I do absolutely think that we need more studies on Black hair, there is still a substantial amount of studies that either include it as one hair type or focus exclusively on it - especially more recently. Given all the evidence that we have, the experts, including Dr. Evans, currently conclude that this applies to Black hair, as well. He was actually specifically asked this question in a recent lecture I watched that he gave at TRI Princeton.
@@SarahIngleOfficial not sure I agree with the idea that only black women's hair has significance. modern western caucasian culture doesn't attach much importance to hair, but other cultures do and it isn't fair to exclude them for not being strictly black. however, I don't think that's what you meant, I'm just pointing it out because I feel these things can get too polarized to come anywhere near the truth.
Me in uni: "I'm not buying textbooks!"
Me now: *has a mighty need for that Hair Chemistry textbook*
At one point or another you’ll probably get a synopsis on everything in that book. 😆 But yes! It’s amazzzzing for hair research. Just so expensive! Maybe a library near you has a copy if you don’t feel like spending so much on a book.
@@SarahIngleOfficial I will try that route first for sure! Thank you again for all this great info! 😊
@@SarahIngleOfficial This is really good advice. I’m in university right now and the school I go to does a lot of research, so using my school ID gets me past A LOT of paywalls. I looked up Robbins’ textbook on my university library search engine, and I have free access to the ebook. I’m never going to have time to get all the way through it because of classes, but I can certainly learn SOMETHING. So I guess advice for people who want to know more and are affiliated with a university: see if it’s in your college’s library.
@@rachell2172 excellent advice! So glad you found a way to get access to it for free!
One of my favorites is Isabella Demarko, she actually has been struggling with her hair and i think this video might tell her what is wrong!
I was about to comment this
I do like Isabella but I'm not sure she would really take heed, she seems to be stuck in a hair rut and was following the curly curl method even though her hair isn't curly. Someone mentioned Sarah to her before she just sort of disregarded her.
@@LivingInTheShade her hair is wavy and she cannot treat it as straight hair, which is what she's been doing. That's why her hair is the way it is.
I don’t have to comment this I guess
Yep. She needs to hair this.
A lot of people on youtube are avoiding sulfates and silicones these days...especially people with textured hair.Can you maybe make a video about it? Is it really that bad for your curls?
I've heard so many negatives about silicones, that they don't play nice with conditioners, by sealing the cuticle so that all the beneficials in the conditioners are basically locked out. So I'd be interested in learning more about that from you, too! Meanwhile I've got my litmus paper out and I'm testing my shampoo and conditioner. 😆
I know it's been a while since you posted this question, but I wanted to give you an answer based on my own experience and the experiences of my customers.
It seems to mostly depend on your specific hair, I know they say that sulfate free shampoos and silicone free conditioners are the best choices for dry hair or textured hair. I have incredibly dry hair, and I actually feel that my hair felt more dry using sulfate free shampoos compared to when I used shampoos with sulfates. I use a combo of sulfate shampoos abd silicone free conditioner and that's the combination that works for me. I got one of my curly haired customers hooked on the brand I'm using that has that combination and it works for her as well.
If you have fine, dry hair that might be the way to go for you because it seems like the sulfates seem to keep the hair light and free from build up, but the lack of silicone allows the moisture to better get into the hair shaft. Whereas if you have a thicker, coarser hair type those sulfate free options might be better for you.
I recommend experimenting with different choices, if you feel what you're using now works awesome, great! Stick with that (although alternate your shampoos here and there because your hair does grow accustomed to it if you use it all the time), and if it doesn't, try different combinations to see what's best! There's unfortunately no one size fits all, but once you find the combination that works for you, you'll be so much happier!
Sorry for the super long response, I just really like talking about hair products lol
@@GillBilly98 that was a super helpful answer to your question. Thank you for taking the time to share that information.
@@GillBilly98 Hi, I have curly dry hair as well. Would you be willing to share the brand you found success with? I'd be grateful 🙏
@@sisby7699 I'd been using the brand ikoo for a while now, their detox and anti frizz options, but after using it a lot my hair has grown accustomed to it, so I've changed it up with sebastian dark oil, not silicone free but it seems to working nicely. My job let's me try a bunch of products, thankfully so I get to test a bunch of stuff out
Those seems to do the best, and I'd recommend using plenty of oil and lightweight leave ins to help get some of that moisture back in. Also be sure to use a hairmask about once a week, more or less depending on how your hair feels
This makes a lot of sense. My hair always feels “dry/rough” after adding water. I always thought “why do humans naturally produce sebum (water repellent) to coat the hair if water is supposed to get in?” Should’ve followed my instinct 😑
We became humans in the African savanna and the oils and waxes our skin made would melt super easily. I wonder how much skin oil production and texture adapted to different climates and regions?

Wow... This makes a lot of sense. My friend tried to "moisturize" my hair with straight aloe vera. But no matter how many treatments she did my hair still felt "dry" so she figured it was too damaged to save and that I should probably just cut it off. AND I LET HER! I had no idea. No more diy's for me! Lol
Omg!! She convinced you to cut it off?? Ahhhh this makes me so stressed out for you!
I hope your hair grow back fast ❤️
Aloe vera is the worst idea. I have very thin hair and I put aloe on after I kept hearing how the haircare enthusiast people use it on the hair. And omg it's never been frizzier. Now I know why. I think that some people just have very good hair naturally, they're low-porosity and all that so those weird ideas don't affect them and it ends up making them think it works/is neutral. Kind of like those people who use straight up soap on their skin and slap Nivea cream on every day and swear it's what's keeping their skin clear and young, but their skin is just really resilient and they never had problems with acne to begin with.
@@justynawisniewska1213
That makes alot of sense!
@@SarahIngleOfficial thank you! The best thing about this though is that it motivated me to look into it because I couldn't believe my hair was just "beyond saving" when I don't even use heat styling lol 😂 BUT finding your channel has been so helpful! I'm going to start PH testing my products and NO DIYS!!
Hi, can you please make a video about hair porosity? How can we measure that in a legit way and does the porosity matter about what kind of hair products we get/make?
Seconding this......
Yes, please do a video about hair porosity! I hope she sees this comment!
@@esca.1530
I only know that if your hair is bleached, it's very porous- but I would love to see Sarah do a video about this, so we know more!!
@@skylarbix7912 you can also have high porosity hair naturally! I have it, and it’s hard to navigate this whole hair thing when it seems like the majority of people on here are low porosity or pushing the anti dry hair thing.
Or maybe, make a video on if hair porosity is even real...?
*Sarah:* do you live in a very humid place?
*me living on a tiny island that's got 70-90% humidity all-year round:* um
Living on a tiny island sounds pretty magical tho 😍
I just started watching her videos not to long ago and I love her for real because she tells the truth and doesn't focus on one hair type we need more people like her.
Thank you! So glad you found your way here. I’ll keep doing my best to give you guys the best information that helps as many of you as possible. Just covering one hair type never made sense to me. Even in my own family we have SO many hair types - can’t imagine how many people I’d be excluding if I just looked at one or two.
I agree, and I can understand what Sarah is saying!😊
@@skylarbix7912 Hi Bix! We had a Jack Russell called Bix because my daughter's favourite book was Dinotopia and the wise little triceratops was called Bix! We love the name :)
Would you pleeeeeeeeeeease talk about silicones in a video? Some say it's good for the hair and some literally say that it raps the hair till it's stifled and broken. I just don't know anymore :(
forrealZ so confusing lol im like my hair feels coarse outta nowhere and i put good shit in it. unless theyre a scientist it seems dont ask anyone cause theyre jus pushing products. they need to use lamens terms in thr hair industry lol
@@hopet7033 I see your point, but honestly I had some protein build-up that literally ruined my hair, to me it's more dangerous than both sulfates or even silicones, and if nobody talked about how bad can protein overload be for one's hair, I probably would have continued to use the the same products I used and caused me the damage. So, don't dismiss anyone, just thoroughly research what they are suggesting.
@Sarah Ingle
@@KayaJane siliconed are good that it protects the hair from dehydration but because of that air and water can't really get to the hair follicle and build up can make your hair stiff with no hydration. So you would just use like a clarifying shampoo
@@kaylabui4249
Firstly, thank you so much for replying. And, I have a question if you'd be so kind: a clarifying shampoo as in a shampoo with sulfates in it or is it something else?
You spend so much time editing and it really shows. Your edits are always helpful and/or entertaining, seamlessly adding to the video and our understanding. I really appreciate how much time and effort you put in your videos from researching to the final product. Thanks for all you do for us❤️
Shame that a very informative video does not have millions of views. Thanks for sharing. Saying hello from Brazil 💗😘
Maybe someday it will! 😁The long hair guide is over 700k now, so that gives me hope. haha
Hello from California! 💜
@@SarahIngleOfficial it definitely will, wishing you all the best Sarah💕🤗
"Just embrace what grows out of your head." We'd all be a lot happier if we did this, not to mention we'd spend WAY less money on products that are supposed to make our hair different than what it actually is...
Hi! I have a degree in chemistry and I completed a course on natural cosmetic and Sarah, you disseminated very well this information, we can see that there were a real research behind.
Sometimes we overcomplicate things, the main function of a conditioner is to prevent water to enter into the hair when it's dry, for that a very simple solution could be to apply a little bit of oil (with low viscosity), like argan or grape seed oil, on your hair when it's wet. That way, the water on the surface will evaporate but the hair shaft will be "isolated" from the external humidity and it will preserve better its natural shape. Applying the oil when the hair it's already dry can work too, but you could already have frizz because your hair has absorbed water from the air and to correct that, you can wet a little your hair (to reform the H bonds) and apply the oil. Besides, that way your DIY product will only contain oil without any water and that will prevent pH problems and microbiological contamination ;)
*This is golden.* Thank you. I did something similar yesterday and it worked, and your comment just explained why.
Normally I would apply leave in conditioner/curl cream first, and THEN add oil to try and "lock the moisture in".
Yesterday after washing, I applied Rejuvenique Oil (very low viscosity oil) first, while my hair was still wet, and then I added the leave in conditioner, and my hair turned out so much softer, sleeker, shinier than usual.
It confused me at first (I had thought "moisture/humectants first, oil/occulents second) but now that I read your comment I understand why it works:
That way, the water on the surface will evaporate but the hair shaft will be "isolated" from the external humidity and it will preserve better its natural shape.
Thank you!
@@RonjaSebastian İ dont quite get why we dont have to add more water to our hair and why we dont have to seal it in. İ mean... as a wavy/curly haired girl, i thouht we NEED to seal in water in. So hair seals in enough water as needed by itself? We dont have to put in the work? İm confused 😰
@Sâ Ka Water is what jacks up the hair because it raises the pH and opens the cuticle which damages your hair and makes it look frizzy and "dry" (at least, that's what I understood from the videos). Oils and conditioners will be what makes your hair feel soft and look nice and shiny because they keep your hair's pH level where it should be, keeping your cuticles closed and therefore preventing the damage. Hope that made sense!
@@elyssabarajas3554 Thank you!!!
@@elyssabarajas3554 indeed, and the best thing to close the cuticles and give a silky shiny and voluminous hair is lemon! It took me 33 years of dry coarse hair plus thousands of dollars spend useless on expensive car*p from the industry and expensive treatments with no results, until I read a comment of someone using lemon. I do not use shampoo anymore, I just mix baking soda with lemon ( not for scap with eczema/psoriasis) to cleanse - it cleans impeccable ( no foam but after a few times I got used to it and will never go back to dirty shampoo chemicals) and after cleansing just soak my hair for 3 to 5 minutes with a squeezed lemon then rinse and the way my hair shines and gets lusty is mind blowing! Same like keratin treatment with only the cost of a lemon 🍋 the hair can be washed with any product and lemon juice can be used just as a conditioner, just squeeze the lemon, strain the pulp and seeds away and just apply the juice ( one or 2 lemons depending on the length ) and it will do magic! Only to be keep in mind the lemon has to be fresh as it's the oils in the lemon that do the magic ( one way to check is when cut, if the lemon juice is oily on the hands then it's good, if it's not that oily on the hands and gets easily away with water, then there will be no potency ) Nature always has our back for free! Also look into shikakai, kapoor kachli, reetha or bhringaraj powders, they are cheap indian powders used for centuries for healthy lusty hair!
Oh my gosh girl, I just found your channel and binged every hair video. You totally hit all the marks on solid, scientifically accurate information and accessibility! I would love to see a video or two on scalp health and how to address issues, maybe a series! I'm really struggling with trying to keep my hair healthy while treating hormonal scalp acne which is a REAL weird, delicate balance. I seem to have to try and put certain things only on my scalp and not even touch it with the things that are good for my hair itself. Ugh, lol.
There’s this UA-camr I watched a couple years ago called Lucy’s Corsetry, she’s a chemist and used to make videos about her super long hair and they were really scientific and taught me about the hair growth phases. You and her are the only people I’ve seen on here that have made scientific related hair videos. Idk if she would still want to do a hair video, but you guys should do a collab or something!
Girl, that video has CHANGED MY HAIR CARE ROUTINE. I went around with PH strips and checked all of my products (I’m a ph nerd for gardening reasons, lol) and cross-referenced the protein vs. humectant ingredients, and then went and researched a whole bunch of related stuff. In short, yeah- I totally adjusted my product uses so that they live in the same Ph family and voila! Perfect hair. Thank you so much!
PS- functional humidity is a thing. Absolutely.
And my fave YT channel (a list in which your channel is quickly gaining position, ‘cause your content is wonderful) is a gardening channel called The Rusted Garden. Like you, Gary gets hella nerdy about the details. I think you can tell that I’m hella detail nerdy, eh?
Hey could you help me with my hair?
Can you name some products that have same ph?
I do a some DIY stuff, should get some ph strips...
These videos are incredible. Just think of how many generations of women have lived on this planet never knowing the science behind one of the biggest contributors to their beauty and self esteem - and here you come explaining it better than any company or person ever has with your adorable, perfectly produced, thoughtfully written, pseudoscience-busting mini lectures. Thank you!
Sis, I have spent THOUSANDS and thousands of hair product and salon treatment just to fix my hair but no matter how much I moisturize it the frizz just keeps coming back. I thought i needed to straighten my hair with heat daily to achieve a perfect look but now I understand why, and I know how to fix it. I am going to binge ALL of your videos. Thank you SO much!
I love the way you explain every word so everyone can understand what they are.
I just finished watching the video and I think you hit all the points you didn't have time for in the last one- great work! As for other channels I've been loving, I've been binge watching Kelsey Impicciche's Sims video and I think they're a lot of fun! I wonder if you'll go back to doing a mix of these hair videos and the fun Disney content you used to do. Maybe you could rank Disney prince's hairstyles like you did for the princesses way back when. And of course a lot of us think it would be great to finally see the Brian video where he provides your voice! 😊
Coincidentally, Michelle Khare and her fiancé Garrett invited me to play Among Us a couple times. First time, Kelsey was playing and I didn’t realize until afterward “Oh she’s the Sims girl!” 💀
There is a very specific Disney video that I’ve been working on that’s the biggest project I’ve ever had for the channel. It’s basically on hold right now because of the pandemic, though, so hopefully soon things clear up enough I can get to work on it more. I did do another video with Traci Hines that will be coming out soon on her channel, tho. ☺️
I love how you explain everything, and how you tell it because you understand it. I know how hard these scientific articles can be. Amazing 🤩
All I can say is: THANK YOU! from the bottom of my heart ! for the time spent researching just to offer us this info for free. You are one amazing person :)
Wow so many Sarahs to start the video!! Loving these in-depth sit downs a lot! I hope you will also continue to make the Disney videos, I've been looking forward to one for a while :D
How many Sarah’s does it take to film a UA-cam video? 💀
There will be more Disney ones, too. The biggest video I’ve ever attempted is a Disney one, but unfortunately I can’t finish it until the pandemic is under control.
As Luke Skywalker brought Balance to the Force... Sarah Ingle is bringing Balance to the Follicle ✨💜✨
Hahahahahhahaha omg. You win the comments section today.
P. S. I typo-ed “today” at first, and it autocorrected you to “Yoda,” so not saying it’s a sign, but... it’s a sign 💀
@@SarahIngleOfficial whoaaaaa that’s so trippy! The Force truly does work in mysterious ways 😹
Thank you Sarah. Your research is so valuable and educational. I've been dressing hair for 16 years. Never before have I got such genuine and unbiased information about hair. Power on!
I just like watching your videos because you're so bubbly and enthusiastic and it makes me feel happy too.
YOUR VIDEOS HAVE ANSWERED SO MANY questions that were not lining up! I would wonder why sometimes putting oil or serums on my curly hair without water would make it so much more manageable but I would also cringe because so many curly hair channels emphases using water basically everyday. Goes to show every head of hair has different needs and you should do what works for you. Thanks Sarah!
I just appreciate how objective, entertaining, ad unproblematic this woman is. In essence, I STAN 😍
Thanks for all your science-y info. Last year I went from dark brunette to blonde and had to learn how to take care of damaged hair. Love your channel!
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to find this research and share it! This is what the internet is for!
Your hair videos are the answers I’ve been searching for for YEARS! Thank you!
Makes me so happy to hear that! Knowing they're helping make it easier to get through long nights of editing & research
Right, me too!!
@@SarahIngleOfficial
It is MUCH appreciated!
Curly Chemistry is another channel I love! All about hair care from a Chemist’s perspective.
Girl me too I love her so much, aren't you super confused at this point because these two channels look incoherent with one another? It can't be misinformation on curly chemistry's part because she's a cosmetic formulator herself. I'm confused ☹️🧐
I'll have to check out her channel! Sounds fantastic!
Haven't seen her videos, so I can't really comment on that. It may be just a matter of using different words to talk about the same things? Even if it isn't, scientists don't always agree on everything. The best we can do is listen to what they have to say and make our own call based on the facts they provide us. If you want to read more about some of what I've shared here straight from hair scientists, this is a great article that's not nearly as dense as the book I usually reference: www.cosmeticsandtoiletries.com/research/chemistry/161976615.html
Since Curly Chemistry a cosmetic chemist, she sounds like a great source of information. It's highly unlikely someone with those credentials would lead you to do anything to damage your hair, so as long as you're getting good results, that's what's important. 💜
@@SarahIngleOfficial omg Sarah! I love you so much you're awesome thank you for answering! 😘😘😘😘
@@juliakhali4114 I watch both and I don’t feel like they contradict each other. 🤷♀️ It’s a different point of view, but I think that’s one of the great things about it. I feel like Curly Chemistry focuses more on ingredients/formulations and @Sarah Ingle focuses on just the broad science of hair. Love them both!
Thank you for sharing the truth and not selling us stuff in this video! Really helpful
I'll say it again, I love your online personality and influence!
I assumed your information would only apply to non-black people - I was fully prepared to roll my eyes at your ignorance - but you significantly changed my perspective on how I care for my hair on the 1st video and now this one. I have been researching hair care for years spending a ridiculous amount of time and money just to have the last person I would expect to help me change my life. Thank you 😊 So happy I took a chance and watched your video even if I clicked on it with the wrong intentions 😅😂😂😂
I watched the new isabel demarco (I think that’s her name) video where she just kept going on about moisturizing and hydrating and then cited a product website for the info. You are totally correct about the UA-cam researching process (No hate, just observing)
I saw that video too how she cited several actual studies and then... that website trying to get u to buy their products
I don't really blame UA-camrs. It's super hard to find legitimate hair information online. Many brands do an incredible job of disguising their advertising as "science."
omg same lol i can't watch all these curly hair youtubers talking about hydrating and "protein-moisture balance" without thinking "sarah's chemistry book says otherwise" 💀
@@notalexus8125 all this talk about the protein moisture balance stressed me out so much when learning about my wavy/curly hair so I stopped caring 😅😁
@@notalexus8125
You are so right!
Love how simple you explain everything
I know I’m a couple of months out but these two videos are among the most informative I’ve seen. Thanks a ton for making them.
Would love a video on greasy/ oily scalp please. Whether there’s anything that can be done to reduce it, avoid washing every day etc. Thank you
Same because most people just day to not wash it but that doesn't help! I could go months only washing it once a week and it will not lessen my natural oil production!!! And then they say to just wash it..... It's a battle 😂😂😂 and my scalp is always itchy but I really don't know why, maybe oil buildup from not washing it daily
@@jadevt1939 what works for me is shampooing twice. Once with head and shoulders and another time with Pantene. I then condition and deep condition my hair.
I also use a scalp massager to really scrub off the gunk and oil
I hope this could help some people. I have thick hair and an oily scalp that makes hard to remove dandruff and this is what works for me.
@@theearthisnotflat4398 I'll give it a shot! I've already checked the ph of my shampoos to make sure that's not the problem. Honestly I think my continuous scratching makes the oil worse 😂
shampoo twice every time, wash it as little as you can. use silicone free shampoos because those make your hair look greasy
Thank you for clearing up the hair moisture myth and explaining that PH is what really matters. This has changed the way I think about hair. I used to have so much anxiety because it all seemed so mysterious and I felt like I was taking shots into the dark. Plus all the pseudoscience and diy going on only made things more confusing. My fine wavy hair was always frizzy and felt cursed! The science of hair is really not that complicated, but has been made complicated by misinformation. Thank you!
Thank you for a lovely, fun, realistic, science based explanation of what’s going on with our hair.
This is the most accessible and informative video on UA-cam hands down!!!!! You’re gonna change the hair world!!! Thank you!!! I can’t wait to CONDITION my hair ;-)
I think you deserve 10 million subscribers. You have an amazing fase that I can't describe and your voice is killing the game 🥺🥺💖
Awwww thank you! That's so kind of you. So excited we're getting really close to 100k!
Can you do a video on scalps? I have dry skin and I think I have a dry scalp too.
'Dry' scalp is kinda like the whole 'dry' hair thing, but way way way more complicated.
*Flaky* scalp can be caused by xerosis, atopic dermatitis (classic eczema), seborrhoeic dermatitis (oily eczema), irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, psoriasis (an autoimmune condition), or something else. Even one of those conditions would take a whole series to explain properly.
The best way to narrow down the possibilities would be 12+ years of medical school and a quick scalp exam. That is to say, talk to your doctor 😉.
I watch a lot of Abby Yung and she has similar things to say! I’m so glad you are sticking to and sharing what you learned even though people try to fight you on it. Since I started following hair care advice like this my hair has changed for the better and I have super curly/textured hair!
I just discovered your channel, you're one of the first "hair-tubers" I could watch the entire video's of while listening attentively
This video (and the last) were SO HELPFUL!! I still have no solution to the 90% RH summer frizzy days we have here in Missouri but at least I can stop trying to lock in more water in my hair as a way to combat it! 😂 it never made sense to me that my hair needed water if it’s response to water was so awful!
Love this! Interestingly, I figured out through trial and error that what I thought was protein overload just needed a clarifying shampoo... I just wish I’d realised it years before!! Now I’m able to use protein treatments for my hair, but if I’ve accidentally used too much then I know to just clarify and I’m great again!!
We're waiting for your videos on type 4 hair ! (+ amazing work, thank you for this ❤)
cheers from a guy who just want to take care of his hair x) I really like that you share scientific articles
I watched the last video and I loved it! Thank you Sarah!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed! 💜
Can you do a video on hair loss/ thinning and if Micro needling/ derma rollers really work? What serums to apply to the scalp when doing so?
Definitely have one planned for hair loss - probably a whole series bc it’s such a huge topic! I literally went and got my Hair Practitioners Certification from the International Association of Trichologists just to prepare for it. 😅
Omg you're so awesome, I'm 29 and lost about 3/4 mass of my hair in one year, no hair loss history in family, thyroid results are normal, etc. So I need hellllpppp! Thank you for all your research videos and responses to questions!
I thought micro-needling was for skin???
@@madelineb5184 look up micro needling and hair loss, it's used for that as well.
@M e no, I've actually never heard of that one. Look on UA-cam derma roller and hair loss. A TON of videos will pop up and explain it better than I can.
I don't really care about hair, bit your videos are so good I can't stop watching!
I love your channel and the science based beauty facts you bring! Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m really curious about what Henna does. Have you encounter any study about it? Please make a video if you do.
I know you say you are not a hair expert in most videos, and you say you are a seeker of knowledge,but you are very smart and talented and put so much work into these videos. You are definitely my fav youtuber and you have gave me so much info i did not know, and have helped me so much!!!!!!!!
You are a wonderfully wise young woman. I've found your advice informative and useful. With your guidance I've discovered products that help me to grow longer and more beautiful hair. I think the most important message I've received from you is to love what I have and work with that rather than wanting what someone else has. Thank you!
Thanks so much for all your research and myth busting Sarah! I so appreciate it!
I’ve heard a lot about rice water (and rice based ingredients) are really good for UV protection in the hair!! I would love for you to do a science deep dive about it since what I’ve gathered it seems to have gotten big on tick rock
Being a scientist myself and having long blond hair, I like your channel ;)
Always excited for your hair videos! I really enjoy your energy, keep it up!
I recently found your channel and have now been bingewatching your videos 😅 Great content, love that you really get into the science!
Can you do a video on how water quality affects your hair? I have hard water in my area and I know that affects my hair a lot. Does heavy minerals in water add too much protein to hair ?
Minerals in water wud cause a mineral deposit on hair.. Which I m also experiencing from the water in my area.. And hard water is caused by salt deposit.. Both can be treated by clarifying regularly with a chelating shampoo.. 😊
@@praveenapillai2172 Water. Softner.
Hard water destroys your hair and skin. My hair and skin have significantly improved from a soft water system and carbon filter HOWEVER I am struggling to find the right shampoo and conditioner that doesn't leave my fine straight hair not full feeling or looking as well as not over drying of the scalp and hair or causing irritation.
@@praveenapillai2172
It's just funny to me that you can spell "chelating", but not "would!" (WUD!)😅
@@melmel4669
I don't know if I have hard water or not!
This answered alllllll of my questions! Thank you so much!❤️
genuinely i've just found your channel and this is the best and most useful hair information i've ever gotten from youtube. i was janice. i was just making my hair worse and worse based off of so much misinformation so thank you, just thank you.
💜 I’m soooo happy it’s helpful!! This video is dedicated to every Janice. Our hair can have a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves. It must be so stressful to go through that!
Former cosmetic chemist here (still a chemist, but I've switched industries). I think you hit all the important points in both videos. A lot of hair "science" is definitely bs (or more kindly put, consumer advertising), and there also isn't really much of a (scientific) movement to gather more information about hair for a variety of reasons. Not surprised that you received a lot of push-back on the content, but I think the content was laid out well.
Thank you! All I can do is do my best to share what researchers have found, and if people want to listen, that’s their call. People don’t have to believe me, but at least I know I helped get accurate information out there.
After I wash my hair I dry it with a tee shirt than gently brush it out and apply organic almond oil to the ends. I wash it once a week and use a cool setting on my hairdryer. Then instead of using a flat iron to keep it straight I wrap it at night .......
IM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL
I love you & your videos. Thank you for working hard on answering our questions, you only get better and better 💕
So many people in the hair community seem to be coming out and asking...why are we doing things this way?? What are we really putting on our hair, and why?? So good to remember that we shouldn't just slap stuff on willy nilly and think it will solve everything. Love this video!!
You and Dr. Dray are my togo ladies
This video made me so happy! It was such a good follow-up and helps a lot, thank you for doing it. 💚
This series is a godsend
This is it, honestly. It's all about conditioning/using protein based on your needs while making sure not to overload. It drives me crazy when I see someone with frizz say they need more hydrated hair!! No just use a better sealant!!!
I used to obsess with hair but recently I realised it's low porosity fine wavy and that it takes care of itself very well. Gentle shampoo+gentle conditioner and less brushing works well enough, anti-frizz product only when it's so humid that it would frizz otherwise (on the other side, "training' my hair to be less oily does Not work on my scalp! It gets oily d3 no matter what and that's fine!). Everyone's hair is individual and Ik that would not work someone whose hair damages easily or has high porosity hair naturally. But stuff in this video is important to know so that people what is ACTUALLY helping their hair.
Can we just appreciate the editing i-
i just LOVE your editing!
Also just curious....What do you use to edit?
Thank you! I use Premiere Pro
Omg Sarah when you popped in on the editing cam and I saw the decor in your home it made me so happy 🥰😍 I love it so so much it's totally my style 🤩
I love your videos. I finally got hair tips based on actual research and not just peoples oppinions and ideas (which seems to be 95% of info out there saddly)
I feel like there’s this idea in the hair are world that if we just use the right products or treatments that we can all achieve a shiny, soft, smooth, etc. look without any heat. I’ve come to the conclusion that while many products can help you get a little closer to waking up with that. It’s largely unattainable without heat styling with the exception of a lucky few. Awesome video!
Yes! Healthy hair doesn't necessarily mean looking like a Pantene ad. We all have different hair textures. I'm all for it people choose to style their hair however they want, but people shouldn't feel like their hair is damaged or undesirable if it doesn't look the way an advertisement told them it should.
Manes by Mell is one of my alltime favourites, another one is Ask A Mortician 😍
Omg thank you this is amazing! You should become a scientist you’re a natural 🥰
I've recently discovered your videos and I really appreciate your science based approach. I have read so many conflicting articles and watched so many conflicting videos that it almost made me want to give up on trying.
I have pretty curly 3b curls, blonde, colour treated, and I heat style it. I want to condition my hair and protect it, however I also like to play with styles, and I often feel insecure about my natural hair. I do appreciate you putting time in to finding information for multiple types of hair. I do want to nourish my natural hair and hopefully become more comfortable with it.
I have been recommended by friends and youtubers, the curly girl method. I would be interested to see your perspective/opinion/information on the CGM from a science perspective. I know that hair is dead and once it's damaged, it's very difficult/impossible to reverse damage, that silicones provide a barrier and smooth the cuticle. But the CGM swears off silicones and sulfates, it focuses on "hydrating" the "dry" hair.
This is my very long way of asking you your opinion on the CGM. 😊😊 Great stuff, love your videos.
Can you talk about coconut oil/castor oil/olive oil and how they affect different types of hair at different times? I stopped using coconut oil after I found out the molecule is too big to penetrate my hair shaft but I usually still feel my hair is softer after using an oil mask! Thanks!
My hair used to be in knots until I found ur channel
Luv ur vids!😘
Honestly, mine is still in knots sometimes because of a certain little white floof 😆
Glad the videos are helpful for you!
@@SarahIngleOfficial Get him extensions to play with.
Love that you're so through with your research/explanations! This reply to the many questions from the last video was great! I definitely feel like I understand so much better now! It's funny though, that I still catch myself thinking, like oh I need some serum or something like that, when actually I might just be conditioned to thinking that I do because of all the false info I've already internalized. That'll probably take time to unlearn though!
I have really liked watching Isabella Demarko's channel and watching her hair journey so far, she's been pretty great at trying to be as scientific in her approaches to her hair as possible but I don't think she has quite the research expertise as you, so I think it'd be super cool for you to collab with her if possible!
My other favorite channel that I like to watch before or after yours is actually a skincare focused channel that does great science breakdowns as well too, it's Beauty Within. They have really cute graphics/animations that do a good job of showing how the different scientific process of the skin occur. Definitely would love to see you feature on their channel and breakdown some of the myths from haircare that get mistaken because of skincare, just like the moisture issue you talked about in here.
Either way, please keep the info coming! It definitely is so empowering to finally feel like I understand my own hair more. Thank you!!
I love your channel ❤️
The algorithm has finally worked for me
I've been growing my hair out after bleaching it about 3 years ago and I was wondering why it still had the sad looking dry frizzyness, but I very recently learned the whole rubbing your hair dry with a towel is bad and most likely my problem.
One of my favorites is Hyram. His whole channel is based off ingredients and now you’re saying ingredients aren’t that important. But really everything he says is based on opinions bc he doesn’t try most of the products. I love hearing your scientific take on everything.
I love Hyram. He has helped sooooo many people introducing them to skincare. We may have different philosophies about ingredients, but he seems like one of the kindest people, and it’s fun to see how excited he gets talking about things he loves.
Wonderful video! Thank you for all your hard work and research!
Thank you, I understand a lot better now. I wasn’t mad at you, I know I can trust you, but I was a little confused before. Love u ❤️
I think you always explain things so clearly!!
I’m soooo glad you do. I confused a lot of people in the last one, and I got really frustrated at myself at first about it. But I think going back through the questions and making a part 2 was the best option. It never would’ve all fit into one video.
Afope, a tricologist did a video on your video :)
Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to check it out!
@@SarahIngleOfficial I follow Afope and she is good. Her take on your video is spot on
I thought this would blow over, but it didn’t and now I wish I had addressed how it misrepresents me sooner. I have a Hair Practitioner certification from the International Association of Trichologists, which is the same place Afope got her Trichology certification. Since certifications are not degrees, I’ve never called myself an expert. The experts on this aspect of hair are cosmetic chemists; neither of us has a degree in chemistry, biology, a medical degree, or anything of the sort. The cosmetic chemists I’ve spoken to fully support my video. Although I don’t believe this was her intention, the amount her video has hurt me, my reputation, and my channel exceeds anything I would’ve imagined.
@@SarahIngleOfficial So many people misinterpreted her. Comprehension is a major issue these days!
It was through her channel I got to know you.
@@SarahIngleOfficial Oh really? What happened? I don't think she said anything bad about you in her video, i wouldn't have pointed you to her video if i thought she did. I think there is just a huge confusions what all those titles mean. I got from the video that there might be some things she interprets differently but mostly applauds you for your research.
I wonder if it would be okay to use your quiz to educate my clients on what kind of damage they have? Your videos are amazing for this science obsessed hairstylist
Hii! Thank you so much for your videos, they’re really helpful! As a person who has curly hair and never liked it, it’s nice to know things about keeping the hair as healthy as possible, specially since I use straightening treatments. I think an interesting topic could be about “ silicones & usual cosmetics versus organic & natural cosmetics “, since nowadays it’s all over the place🌸 congrats on your channel!💛
I love these videos I have been on a hair journey for a while now and this knowledge should be more known! I’m so glad you are out here giving actual science based knowledge that makes sense! My daughter thinks I’m crazy when I try to tell her these same things lol
So glad they’re hopeful for you on your hair journey! I’m sure lots of people think I’m crazy, too, just for getting so exciting talking about hair 😆
Could you make a video about hair oils? (Are they effective, how to use, etc)
Yes please i would love this too ❤
I subbed after your last vid and have ben waiting for this one to come out. In the meantime I watched a bunch of your other vids, too. I'm loving the content so far and will definitely be sticking around. :)
OMG I GOT A SHOT OUT!! 🥺🥺
When you were giving the "Janice" example, you reminded me of a youtuber called Isabella Demarko, she makes a lot of videos about hair too, and she tried the curly girl method because everyone said that it would solve all of her hair problems...but in the end (after like 7 months) she gave up, because she didn't felt that it worked for her and it was causing her so much sadness
(I have a big problem with the CGM because it's sold like the one true way, that will solve all of your hair problems...but in the end, everyone's hair is different and something that works for someone, doesn't work for everyone)
Love your videos!
