This!!!

Thank you! 😊

Yes, seriously! No bs, no annoying ads, just SCIENCE.

​@@LabMuffinBeautyScienceis amodimethicione good for high porosity hair, I observe it dries out my hair?

Yes yes yes!

She does have a hair playlist.

@@db-gb5xiyes but not many videos like skincare ones

Me too

This just confirmed why OGX is the most consistent in how it makes my hair feel! Like I thought there would be a black-owned brand that works better but every one I tried just dries out my hair and now I know why

@469ka37 ugh yes 😭 i totally feel u girl had to reformulate my routine like 3 times from late last year to now

Which one?

Which one pls

It doesn't have amodimethicone, but OGX conditioners have both behentrimonium and polyquaternium, and it's a drugstore brand if that helps anyone. It's the only brand that works really well with my hair consistently this short confirmed why.

@@469ka37they’re not as good as amodimethicone

Pureology’s leave-in conditioner spray has amodimethicone in it.

It might be in one of the videos of her hair playlist.

Yes please 🙏

There is one now. All about amodimethicone.

​@@mommy-conmedwhere?

@@SamIAm10262 I wish I could remember the title, but it is a Lab Muffin video all about how wonderful amodimethicone is. I hope you are able to find it!

@@SamIAm10262I think it’s the “this ingredient saved my hair” one 😊

I'm so glad!

I think the anti-water thing is really unwarranted - too much and too little water both aren't ideal, I think it's more accurate to think of water as a useful tool for looking after hair

She does have a hair playlist.

@@db-gb5xinot that many videos and none of this topic

Check her hair playlist.

@@db-gb5xithey aren’t there - if you saw one please give title or link but certainly I can’t see any, there are very few hair videos

OGX is a drugstore brand that has 2 of the ingredients she mentioned. It works really well with my hair, but it's not level 8 to 9 bleached but rather like a level 5 with green semi permanent dye, so do with that what you will

Pureology’s leave-in conditioner spray has amodimethicone in it, which Lab Muffin mentions in this video. It’s often sold out at Ulta, everyone raves about it.

Hair oiling is good for before washing to protect the hair from the damage of water. Your routine sounds good, except the conditioner on the roots is not necessary. Can use a bit if you want, but maybe try only using on the lengths and ends. Then only use shampoo on the scalp, not the lengths at all. It will wash down when you you rinse your scalp. Try it if you haven’t already

their hair care is insane, so much time consuming. 30 min scalp massage is excessive and you should switch the hair mask for a good leave in conditioner which protects hair much better after showering. Hair mask should be used sparingly after a clarifying wash or if you’re going to chlorinated pools etc.. i would advise against oiling because it doesn’t make much sense to oil an already oily scalp just to try to scrub it all off in the shower? but i know the girlies love it so what do I know…. but please oil your ends after the shower!!! it’s the only thing that will protect them.

I don't understand the people who oil their scalps. Scalp is actually skin and skin does produce its own oils, it will change from person to person but it's the same as applying rosemary oil on your back or your leg and massage it for 30 minutes. The hair is the one that isn't alive and doesn't produce it's own oils, so that's the one that needs it. I do oil my hair but never the scalp, just thinking about it I feel itching.

They’re found another way to push product is all. Most oils are bad to use on hair all the time, you’re much better off using silicones. Oils are extremely bad for the scalp, as malassezia fungus feeds off of oils. I remember this chick in a haircare group posting a pic of her ‘beautiful long hair’ and saying she was oiling it every day with coconut oil. Everyone commented that her hair looked super damaged, and to stop oiling it asap 💀

Silicones are the best for hair; especially if it’s coarse, thick, or damaged by heat and/or coloring/bleaching. If you have virgin hair that isn’t too long and already naturally shiny then you can get away with not using silicones.

In other videos, Michelle talks about how silicones are given a bad rep, but they're actually okay.

Last step of skincare!

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience thank you so much ❤️

Might be because your hair is denser inside and has an intact cuticle - can't do much to change that except to damage it (e.g. bleach or dye), or use higher heat. It's common with Asian hair, including mine (pre-bleach).

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Thank you!!

If it’s not damaged and it makes your hair feel bad then you don’t have to use it, use another conditioner that you like

You can’t moisturize hair ‘from the inside’. Stop using oils and start using a product with amodimethicone like Pureology’s leave-in conditioner. Your hair will look a million times better, guaranteed.

She might address this in her hair playlist videos.

@@db-gb5xino she doesn’t, I don’t understand why people keep pointing to this playlist when they themselves aren’t even sure. It ‘might’ be. Well if it was then you would know for sure. I do, it’s not their e

L'Oréal has a bunch of products with amodimethicone. I use the Dream Long shampoo and mask.

OGX is a drugstore brand with Behentrimonium and Polyquarternium. It works really well with my 4B color treated hair, but as I've learned ingredients hair likes is never consistent or the same.

Maybe check her hair playlist.

@@db-gb5xiit is not on there, there are very few hair videos and none on conditioner

Yes absolutely use conditioner every time you wash. I’m not an expert so won’t give exact recommendations but please use it

It's a discontinuous coating - but yeah, I've been trying to move away from using the words "coat" and "film" in newer content, because those words tend to imply a continuous layer and introduce confusion.

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Thanks for clarifying!

I might check her hair playlist.

OGX has Behentrimonium and Polyquarternium and works really well with my 4B color treated hair.

L’Oréal has many drugstore haircare products with amodimethicone. Read the ingredients list.

@@469ka37what does the 4B stand for / come from?

OGX has both Behentrimonium and Polyquarternium. It's a drug store brand that works really well with my 4B type hair that's colored.

The reaction doesn't happen to an appreciable extent in products, so the amount of benzene formed will be minuscule especially compared to the amounts already in the air

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience ohh .... Thank u soo much i was confused for soo long as many skincare and haircare products have these combination...
