Don’t act like you care about the environment if you eat animals and their products. It has a much higher effect on the environment than plastic and overconsumption
Yes, 100% agree! The texture lies in your genetics not in the products. I started using only gel. You can go fancier as you go, depending on your hairs needs. That being said I will buy myself a scalp brush :D
My audible gas when she said, you don’t need a scalp brush/massager. I guess my hair is thicker than hers or I am more prone to scalp build up, but it is a game changer! I have low porosity hair, so I massage my scalp every single day when I’m in the shower. I am CHANGED like I can feel wind on my scalp now, even with my little fro I can feel wind on my scalp! And my scalp has a sheen. I’ve literally only used it for four days and I’m addicted to it. Literally, hands-down, by far, 1000%, no lies best Fricken $5 dollars I’ve ever spent.
@@amygo7374 that sounds so good. My hair is medium but it does take a couple minutes and some muscle to wash it thouroughly. Maybe its just some build up. It would be great if the massager could save some time and energy.
@@kleinerplagegeistplagegeis5057 It does save a bunch of time and energy. I can tell when my scalp is clean with the brush and keep going because it feels so good. My fingers scrubbing my scalp in a chore, some else doing it is soothing. This scalp brush is so soothing. This takes half the time of my normal wash.
I am 72 years old and I have healthy, shiny naturally wavy/curly hair. What I know is that when it comes to hair like mine, less is more. You do not need curly girl products at all. Use a gentle shampoo that is paraben free. You can use shampoos that are safe for color treated hair even if you do not color your hair. And a little bit goes a long way. Use a light weight conditioner. If you have dense heavy hair like mine, putting extra products on it just weighs it down. While your hair is wet, gently with your fingers and a wide tooth comb, get the tangles out. Put a few clips at the root where you want volume. Then, this is the hard part ---- LEAVE IT ALONE.
17:01 "satin is just fine" especially because that satin is the way fibers are weaved together while silk is a fiber That means you can have satin fabrics made out of silk (like within the items she showed), cotton or polyester
I feel like what’s necessary or not for a persons curly hair routine is subjective. It all depends on your preferences and what works for your hair. You said yourself, Some of these things you don’t like because they don’t work on your hair. People just need to not be blind and buying evrything people tell them to buy lol
Thank you I definitely agree. The tools that work for her texture may not work for every other curly girl. I know plenty of type 4c girlies that hate the tangle teezer
The Shark hair dryer is half the price, multiple tests have suggested it is just as good as the Dyson, AND doesn’t get as hot for those worried about heat damage (or for people like me who have a dry scalp that gets SO ITCHY if too much heat touches it). Also - using my edge control to tame my eyebrows?? Why didn’t I ever think of that???? Genius!
Continuous water spray bottles are made for aerodynamic reasons, putting less strain and stress on your wrist and fingers to reduce carpools tunnel, ( first found out about them in beauty school) so for a person doing hair all day they are helpful.
That's exactly what I just posted. She shouldn't be talking people out of those without first mentioning the fact that it is best for those with certain health conditions, such as carpel tunnel or arthritis, etc.
Thanks for the video! If you don’t mind, I’d like to clarify something about satin. I often see this confusion so I try to clarify it whenever I can. Silk is a fiber, and satin is a weave. What I mean by that is that satin can be made of multiple different fibers, including silk, like how jersey can be made of wool, cotton, nylon, rayon, or silk (but we assume cotton because that’s what it’s usually made of). what I’m assuming you meant is that you opt for a polyester satin instead of a silk satin, as that’s typically what people mean. Hope this came across with the intended spirit of sharing information and not rude or nitpicky, and thanks again for making this video! It’s always nice to hear about more affordable alternatives for hair care ❤
I love my denman brush and I will still use it but the tangle teaser doesn’t work well for me. My sister once gifted me the detangler brush, and it’s honestly all I need!! It’s so much easier to detangle my hair, it takes less time and it helps you prevent damaging your ends. PLUS: it’s really cheap! I’d recommend this brush to every curly person out there!
I wholeheart agree I respect the hustle of being a content creator and partnering up with brands and such that vibe with what you're doing, but also, "less is more" works like a charm I will say tho! I used to think scalp massagers were pointless, but when I started to get arthritis in the joints from fingers to shoulder, a scalp massager or a wet brush to help lather the shampoo on my scalp really, reallly helped! I alleviated the pain and precision I had to have with my fingers, it was a heavensent! But naturally, most products are just trends and not really thought out for acessibility..... starting by their prices lol
Great video! Very helpful in figuring out what products to try and what to save on. I will say, as someone with scalp psoriasis, a scalp brush is helpful in removing buildup without exhausting my hands. I also like the accessibility factor of a continuous spray bottle as my hands get sore and tired due to medical conditions, so spraying fewer times means my routine can be easier and I can save my energy for where I need it. I wholeheartedly agree with you though, most of these products are not NECESSARY for everyone, but I am glad they are available for those who like or need them.
I love your curly hair! I do enjoy seeing people who have curly hair routines even though I have wavy hair. I tried finding UA-camrs who have wavy hair routines but I haven’t really found anyone with my hair. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know 😊
Ngl when I clicked on this video, I was a little sceptical because I find that this trend is heading the wrong way. So I really appreciate that you emphasized on consuming less & cutting on plastic ❣️
I agree with the appropriation comment about the slick stick. That was always more for weaves and dry styles where wet products like gels wouldn’t work.
Yeah honestly I legit have stopped buying styling products and just use a DIY flax gel or oat gel depending on my needs that day. Works amazing with no irritation and it’s very inexpensive :) thanks for the diffuser recommendation as I am needing a new one that isn’t $$$$
Love my Balissima hairdryer only issue is I then need a second one for other styles. as well as plastic bags I use an old shower cap for deep conditioning and then just rinse it out ready to reuse
Love this video.❤ Another important reason to deinfluence is that most influencers aren’t professionals who can speak from years of education or professional experience- they’re people who happen to have the right look and use Google to find their information. Then people who like their look make purchases based on their recommendations… and before you know it, your hair is falling out! 😂
Love u lana! Fyi aphogee is not a bond building product it is a protein treatment meant for hair with extreme damage caused by chemical processing (perming/bleaching, etc). Or it can be used to correct over-moisturized hair (maintain protein/moisture balance)
Lana the Tangle Teezer is a game changer at our house!!! It helps me not oversaturate the hairs!!! I've been wanting to try the Coco and Eve though 😅😅 We just tried PATTERN beauty...and THAT is a WIN without any hesitation ❤ My middle curly girl has your curl pattern and I love watching your videos!
I have become such a product junkie! I'm slowly throwing things out. I'd see the new stuff and want to try it and I literally had a file pine full of products. From now on if I want to try a product, I'm looking for travel sizes first. That way I try and that's it. If I like it then I'll buy the product. I used the spray bottle during the rice water craze. I still use it, but not as much. I got rid of Aphogee. I didn't need it either. I have type 4 LoPo hair, so I have to stay focus on that because a lot of these trends and stuff was not meant for my hair and it has wreaked my progress, so I have to really research.
The tangle teeter ruined my hair. I switched to a seamless rubber comb and I can tell the difference. The breakage is starting to grow down and i causes much less shedding on wash day
Another option for plastic caps is the compostible sandwich bag things you can get now. Still not great obviously but it's better than once use plastic!
My dyson dryer is one of the best investments I have made! When I straighten my hair, it only takes me 15-20 minutes to dry my whole head and when I wear a wash and go, it does not take long for my hair to dry. I recommend it!
Your brands bonnets are the best I was worried that it'd fall off in the middle of the night bc I toss and turn in my sleep but theyre so comfortable and they stay on so well with the ties
My hair growth has been massive and continuous for all my life. I use a sulfate shampoo that I apply directly on my scalp, a deep conditioner (Skala hasn't even done me wrong), hair cream (I buy thick ones and if I need them thinner for a specific day, I water them down. If I need them to spray, I mix with water and sunflower oil). I use gel to clump my curls or for twisting (Eco or Salon Line gels work best for me) and coconut oil for that bling and seal. It's been the same routine for literally all my life, learned with my grandma and mom (obviously they used different products on me, like a gel that has been discontinued) and we were taught to always sleep with silk or satin protecting our heads, covering our pillows, keeping our ends away from the clothes and so on. It's simple and it works for me. I tend to chop my curls at nipple length, dried, but I have decided to see how far I can take this and maybe I'll get SZA in 5 years or so lol.
I don't even have a hair dryer, I just air dry. I know people get impatient but if anything air drying is less work and your hair will dry while you're doing other things. In my opinion you don't need a hair dryer at all.
I'm jealous you can do that 😭 my hair would probably take a full 24 hours to completely dry naturally. It's just not practical especially here in the winter. I can't leave the house with wet hair as it's way too cold. I do sometimes in the summer, but even then, I don't want soggy clothes!
Honestly I can’t because it takes hours and hours, and it’s cold where I live now which makes that waiting time so miserable. Like it’s cold inside too because of bad housing. But if you’re lucky enough that you hair dries in half an hour to an hour?! Save your money for sure!!!!
Thank you so much video! It's just a trend but I can help but laugh at the term "de-influencing" because that's literally influencing. Everyone is an influencer of something in daily life. It honestly isn't a negative term. It's more about the person influencing and their morals. I get the feeling that you may not want to be labeled as an influencer because of it's negative connotations, so if you are, I just want you to know that you are an absolutely awesome person who takes the time out of their day to give honest extensive reviews and help people make informed choices! Don't feel bad for having a platform (If you even do! I never want to assume).
I cant lie i just buy a pack of three toothbrushes from poundland for my edge brushes. The wand/handle is so much firmer than those flimsy ass edge brushes they sell in hair shops and online. It just has better control all around!
Lol! yeah I have loads of these 1. Microfibre/jersey towel....just use a t-shirt. 2. Denman brush....I have 1 not 2. Lol! 3. the dyson supersonic with diffuser....nah.. I don't own that and I doubt I wil own it...I air dry my hair 95% of the year. 4. Plastic caps. I don't have lots of plastic carrier bags anymore because I have been using reusable bags since 2006 and I live in a small flat in London. I can't use space for carrier bags only. 5. Flexi rod- use rags instead. Rags are not going to be good for my fine dry hair. 1. it will dry out my hair too much and 2 my fine strand will catch on the cut edges. plastic roller last a long time. it's not something you have to buy regularly. I still have rollers that are 20 years old. 6. Flyaway/baby hair fixer in a tube. Lol! I've learned to embrace the frizz and I always have some old mascara wands knocking around. I definitely do not need this. 7. Coco & Eve Miracle Elixir... Lol! I don't need this...I use the Olaplex Oil. it's more expensive but it works well for my hair. 8. Wax stick: I have a wax stick for my wigs. 9. Edgebrushes: I have a few but they came as an additional gift. Lol! I do my edges once a week or less. Lol! 10. Scalp Brush: When I used my scalp brush every day My hair grew way faster than I ever expected...but if your hair grows fast already you do not need a scalp brush. 11. Continuous spray bottle. Since I just use pre-made hair water I no longer use the spray bottle. 12. Refreshing Mist: Yeah I need to use this or something similar like the pre-made hard water because my hair gets really dry. I have to spray my hair 1-3 times a day. If you hair isn't dry you don't need this. 13. Dyson air wrap....same as the dyson super sonic..nah and nope. 14. Pre-made silk wraps for 70-99 bucks. Just go to the market and buy a metre of silk fabric and sew the edges and ta-da you have a silk wrap for less than 20. or just use a regular satin bonnet...or satin fabric. lol! 15. Bond builder: I stand by Olaplex because my hair is genetically weak and I use it sparingly and not as a replacement for moisture or protein products. Literally the Olaplex kit at £120 last me over a year. If your hair is damaged or needs strengthening due to genetics, colour, perm relaxer, damage, illness or medication, you can just buy the small size of Olaplex kit on sale and it will last you the year if you use it once a week or less. My trichologists say you don't need edge control or scalp scrubs. I'm sure people say they need them but yeah we do not need to buy every product on the market.
I never found the denman as any good. I dont see the difference in it and just any nrish / brissels or fingers lol. I also got one of the first tangle teasers i saw and it too is just… a brush…
I just told my husband to buy me the Dyson Supersonic, a little too late for that ! but, other tips are great, I will definitely reuse plastic caps more than once at least after watching this!
I bought a $tree silicone scalp scrubby thing honestly it isnt (feels anyway like its not) … sharp?! Enough i never use it plus when people go ip n down side to side or ajything - i feel like im knotting/tangling my already… “coatse?” Rough dry damaged hair worse - soo id rather use my nails then just pull my fingers out into a straight line w nooo tangles 😂
Great idea for a video, love your enthusiasm, and you're giving great advice except--you're wrong about 1 of them! The continuous water sprayer. Are you kidding me, that is SO worth the money! Especially for those with exceptionally long hair, like my son, who has curly hair like yours, but it's to his waist. It dries super fast, and that continuous spray bottle keeps me from having to spray it over and over to keep it wet while detangling and braiding! And it's *especially* good for those with carpel tunnel like me--It's literally painful to have to keep spraying a bottle. So that continuous spray bottle is a life saver, and well worth the money.
What's always confusing me is what people mean when they say satin? Because as far as I know, satin is just a certain weave pattern, not a material. Satin can be silk, polyester, or other things. It's not vegan per se.
I will stick with the plastic processing caps instead of a grocery bag. You’ve used the grocery bags to carry your groceries in and I would think that the bag would be dirty after that. So in essence, you’re probably putting a dirty bag on clean hair. Just something to think about or you could take extra grocery bags that haven’t been used for your deep conditioning treatments.
“Maybe u do need something” literally bo one NEEDS anything but oxygen and water. ( some fruit / veges) lol i get u tho. But yeha especially just hair care stuff to make our hair pretty/defined etc we do not NEED that. We enjoy it. Id love some rn!
Me watching the vídeo tho i have wavy hair, hate to put creams and wash everyday so dont even think about a lot of stuff to maintain the curls and use Just the cheapest Keratin I can find to maintain my hair 🤡
It always strikes me as weird that dozens of “influencers” like you have bothered to make de-influence videos on products that you bought / were gifted and paid to use. You’re right, a lot of these products can be purchased cheaper than the viral name brand, and many others are unnecessary, but who are you influencers really to tell your followers what not to buy when you’ve been trying to sell us these products for years already! Hypocrisy is not a good look.
Like I said in the videos, I love lots of the products I use and will keep using them, this video is simply providing cheaper alternatives as we're currently in a cost crisis. I will continue to recommend them for those who can afford them - as they're usually slightly better than the cheaper ones, but decent cheaper ones will do. The products that I said I don't like at all, I never recommended and never will. I have always tried to highlight sustainability above everything. Hope that helps!
love videos like these. overconsumption is such a problem not just for the environment but also our wallets lol
Don’t act like you care about the environment if you eat animals and their products. It has a much higher effect on the environment than plastic and overconsumption
Yes, 100% agree! The texture lies in your genetics not in the products. I started using only gel. You can go fancier as you go, depending on your hairs needs.

Thank you I definitely agree. The tools that work for her texture may not work for every other curly girl. I know plenty of type 4c girlies that hate the tangle teezer
The Shark hair dryer is half the price, multiple tests have suggested it is just as good as the Dyson, AND doesn’t get as hot for those worried about heat damage (or for people like me who have a dry scalp that gets SO ITCHY if too much heat touches it).
Also - using my edge control to tame my eyebrows?? Why didn’t I ever think of that???? Genius!
I don't care what anyone says. Dyson was one of the best investments of my life and nothing compares. Everything else I agree with.
Getting rid of the spray bottle is a no for me. All the rest are great ideas. I love the continuous mist of water. It’s so good. Love this video.
Exactly. The continuous spray is awesome! Saves time and stress on your hand and wrist.

Yeah i live in a tropical part of india and i just air dry too, but i have to make sure I don't sweat too much as that makes it really frizzy
I think drying your hair with indirect heat helps set your hair better but this is my opinion
Honestly I can’t because it takes hours and hours, and it’s cold where I live now which makes that waiting time so miserable. Like it’s cold inside too because of bad housing. But if you’re lucky enough that you hair dries in half an hour to an hour?! Save your money for sure!!!!

I have the exact same toothbrush
I use a 6XL men tshirt for my hair,i necer use a towel on my hair anymore😄
yes to curly hair
I cant lie i just buy a pack of three toothbrushes from poundland for my edge brushes.
The wand/handle is so much firmer than those flimsy ass edge brushes they sell in hair shops and online. It just has better control all around!
Lol! yeah I have loads of these
1. Microfibre/jersey towel....just use a t-shirt.
2. Denman brush....I have 1 not 2. Lol!
3. the dyson supersonic with diffuser....nah.. I don't own that and I doubt I wil own it...I air dry my hair 95% of the year.
4. Plastic caps. I don't have lots of plastic carrier bags anymore because I have been using reusable bags since 2006 and I live in a small flat in London. I can't use space for carrier bags only.
5. Flexi rod- use rags instead. Rags are not going to be good for my fine dry hair. 1. it will dry out my hair too much and 2 my fine strand will catch on the cut edges. plastic roller last a long time. it's not something you have to buy regularly. I still have rollers that are 20 years old.
6. Flyaway/baby hair fixer in a tube. Lol! I've learned to embrace the frizz and I always have some old mascara wands knocking around. I definitely do not need this.
7. Coco & Eve Miracle Elixir... Lol! I don't need this...I use the Olaplex Oil. it's more expensive but it works well for my hair.
8. Wax stick: I have a wax stick for my wigs.
9. Edgebrushes: I have a few but they came as an additional gift. Lol! I do my edges once a week or less. Lol!
10. Scalp Brush: When I used my scalp brush every day My hair grew way faster than I ever expected...but if your hair grows fast already you do not need a scalp brush.
11. Continuous spray bottle. Since I just use pre-made hair water I no longer use the spray bottle.
12. Refreshing Mist: Yeah I need to use this or something similar like the pre-made hard water because my hair gets really dry. I have to spray my hair 1-3 times a day. If you hair isn't dry you don't need this.
13. Dyson air wrap....same as the dyson super sonic..nah and nope.
14. Pre-made silk wraps for 70-99 bucks. Just go to the market and buy a metre of silk fabric and sew the edges and ta-da you have a silk wrap for less than 20. or just use a regular satin bonnet...or satin fabric. lol!
15. Bond builder: I stand by Olaplex because my hair is genetically weak and I use it sparingly and not as a replacement for moisture or protein products. Literally the Olaplex kit at £120 last me over a year. If your hair is damaged or needs strengthening due to genetics, colour, perm relaxer, damage, illness or medication, you can just buy the small size of Olaplex kit on sale and it will last you the year if you use it once a week or less.
My trichologists say you don't need edge control or scalp scrubs. I'm sure people say they need them but yeah we do not need to buy every product on the market.
I never found the denman as any good. I dont see the difference in it and just any nrish / brissels or fingers lol. I also got one of the first tangle teasers i saw and it too is just… a brush…
were is your song
Is the wax stick for me love 😂! Bought 2 used none. Doesn’t really work and is not convenient to use.
P.S.: your hair is not doing just fine. Is doing MORE than just fine 😂🥹😍
I just told my husband to buy me the Dyson Supersonic, a little too late for that ! but, other tips are great, I will definitely reuse plastic caps more than once at least after watching this!
I will say that I have the Dyson Supersonic and I love it! Nobody NEEDS it, but it if a nice hair dryer that dries my hair super quickly.
I bought a $tree silicone scalp scrubby thing honestly it isnt (feels anyway like its not) … sharp?! Enough i never use it plus when people go ip n down side to side or ajything - i feel like im knotting/tangling my already… “coatse?” Rough dry damaged hair worse - soo id rather use my nails then just pull my fingers out into a straight line w nooo tangles 😂
Sadly i just use water and put product back on my hair for reset everyday. .. of course my hair always looks like a dry, damaged flat … dummp, too.
Great idea for a video, love your enthusiasm, and you're giving great advice except--you're wrong about 1 of them! The continuous water sprayer. Are you kidding me, that is SO worth the money! Especially for those with exceptionally long hair, like my son, who has curly hair like yours, but it's to his waist. It dries super fast, and that continuous spray bottle keeps me from having to spray it over and over to keep it wet while detangling and braiding! And it's *especially* good for those with carpel tunnel like me--It's literally painful to have to keep spraying a bottle. So that continuous spray bottle is a life saver, and well worth the money.
Haha I totally understand you! I use mine all the time! Maybe I should take it off the list!
What's always confusing me is what people mean when they say satin? Because as far as I know, satin is just a certain weave pattern, not a material. Satin can be silk, polyester, or other things. It's not vegan per se.
I usually mean polyester satin!
broooo the plastic cap is the most important ! it's a shower cap !!! i couldn't take any shower without the shower cap :))
❤❤❤
I literally have a big hospital bag full of walmart bags.
My thin coily 4b/4c hair did not like the tangle teaser. Denman 1000%
I will stick with the plastic processing caps instead of a grocery bag. You’ve used the grocery bags to carry your groceries in and I would think that the bag would be dirty after that. So in essence, you’re probably putting a dirty bag on clean hair. Just something to think about or you could take extra grocery bags that haven’t been used for your deep conditioning treatments.
You can clean the grocery bag, please don't take extra though xx
They make reusable shower caps and some have extra lining to trap heat
@@briannatalton8275 yeah I have one and had it for six months now. I just wash it out after every use.
“Maybe u do need something” literally bo one NEEDS anything but oxygen and water. ( some fruit / veges) lol i get u tho.
But yeha especially just hair care stuff to make our hair pretty/defined etc we do not NEED that. We enjoy it.
Id love some rn!
Maslow would beg to differ! But yes, it's nice to have things sometimes 😅
Demon brush 😂
Buy $1 pk from $🌲 tooth brush boom… another thing i dont use lol
Me watching the vídeo tho i have wavy hair, hate to put creams and wash everyday so dont even think about a lot of stuff to maintain the curls and use Just the cheapest Keratin I can find to maintain my hair 🤡
Where is the conclusion? 😔
What kind of toothbrush do you use for your edges? Soft, middle or hard? 😅
an influencer deinfluencing
It always strikes me as weird that dozens of “influencers” like you have bothered to make de-influence videos on products that you bought / were gifted and paid to use. You’re right, a lot of these products can be purchased cheaper than the viral name brand, and many others are unnecessary, but who are you influencers really to tell your followers what not to buy when you’ve been trying to sell us these products for years already! Hypocrisy is not a good look.
Like I said in the videos, I love lots of the products I use and will keep using them, this video is simply providing cheaper alternatives as we're currently in a cost crisis. I will continue to recommend them for those who can afford them - as they're usually slightly better than the cheaper ones, but decent cheaper ones will do. The products that I said I don't like at all, I never recommended and never will. I have always tried to highlight sustainability above everything. Hope that helps!
Getting Loads of false information on TikTok. It’s almost like they’re doing it on purpose for clout views whatever.
It’s ‘deinfluencing.’
OMG, I kept thinking it looked wrong 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
@@LanaSummer No problem!!
