Using different oils and conditioners on a different parts of Your hairs depends on porosity. You can always try to cut the part with a different one (if it was bleached for example and wento into high porosity) but that can be painfull. There is also a way to use herb dye for hairs henna (red) and cassia (no color/yellow shades) are staying on hairs, getting into the sheels and changing structure of hair. Cassia can wash out after 6-8 washes, henna stays in your hairs permanently and you can remove it only with bleaching. I have fall down from very high porosity to middle in half of a year after around 11 layers of henna (put on hairs around 1 or 2 times in a month, not too much, as this is a high humectant treatment, and my hairs preffers proteins and oils) :) On my dark brown natural hairs it gived red shades in sunlight, and make them a bit closer to black when not outside buildings.

@ExothermicRxn 11 ай бұрын
I’m Asian and have used henna for my hair many times and know literally dozens of people who have used it pretty much a majority of their adult lives. If you use actual henna powder, I know there aren’t any bad long-term effects that you *see*. I can’t speak to the chemical changes, but, in my experience, there isn’t damage from it. The henna we use has a reddish-brown colour than the darker varieties in other parts of Asia and in Africa, so most of the people I know use it for its dyeing properties. The plant apparently also has anti-fungal and anti-oxidative properties so some people also use it to help treat scalp irritation and dandruff. If you have sensitive skin, I can imagine that it might cause irritation and redness, but I personally don’t know anybody who has experienced that. I have seen social media videos of people using the ready-made henna tattoo paste (the ones available in cones) on their face or hair, with unpleasant results, but that is most likely because of the additional dyes and stabilising chemicals that are added to the paste. I’ve only ever used pure henna powder mixed with hibiscus flower powder, rose water, Fuller’s earth clay (Multani mitti) or coconut oil as a hair mask and it always made my hair super shiny and soft and gave my black hair a reddish-brown tinge.

I've used henna for years and it definitely made my hear look and behave better and healthier. When you use henna you need an acid and heat to activate it, the acid in the mixture could also have beneficial effects like hair smoothing. I have wavy fine hair and eventually quit using it, because it does dye your hair red. After the first few days it does fade/oxidize to a more natural tone. If you have very dark hair you may not have a huge difference in color but it does become redder

Has anyone else had their hair colour/texture permanently change after chemotherapy? Mine changed dramatically immediately following treatment, but it never truly went back to the way it was. It does not even lay in the same direction and shines a very vivid unnatural red in sunlight - I assume that is the underlying pigment showing through? I even have some hairs that are not blonde or white but genuinely see-through.

So I have had chemo, radiation and surgery. Where I had radiation, my hair is a tighter curl pattern than before. The other half of my head is my typical curl pattern. That's years after treatment. My hair came our very wire like and thin when it first came in, but after some time it went back to normal, although still curlier than before. I have the natural red highlights and some pure white hairs in there now too. I've seen some people go from straight to curly and some go from curly to straight. Chemo works on each person differently, just like not everyone gets exactly the same side effects.

I live in a pretty harsh desert climate, so the UV is pretty much always intense (around an index level of 10) and I've always wondered how large of a part the UV damage plays in why the top half of my hair is way less curly. We also have horrendously hard water here, so now I know what I need to do to try and fix it and will probably try olaplex as well to see if it helps haha.

This is a very timely video because I have been "researching" about frizzy/flyaway hair. I have been trying a bunch of products and nothing is working. I have these flyaway hair that makes me look like I have been electrocuted. I even tried CGM but I barely have any waves (straight Asian hair). I used to have a very minimal hair routine (just shampoo, conditioner, and air dry) and silky smooth hair. After watching the video, I now think it is probably because I moved to a place with hard water and I also started swimming last year. I would also be interested in the science of flyaway hair.

That was super interesting. My hair is behaving itself really well, atm, but I love learning about this stuff. I've definitely struggled with this in the past. My hair is thick and dense and wavy, but not really damaged. In the end, it was conditioner for 'fine' hair, that ended up working for me. And no leave in or such, although that is always recommended, for wavy/curly hair. Turns out, my hair just doesn't need any of that and will turn limp and straight, if I overwhelm it with conditioning ingredients. Especially any kind of oil does not agree with it. Less is more for me, apparently 🙂

My first pregnancy (20 years ago when I had a shoulder length bob): about 4 months in, over the space of 3 days, my hair went from thin and fine but manageable to stiff straw. Even my hairdresser hadn't seen as big a change before mine. A couple of weeks of trialing different products led us to the treatments for permed hair giving me (almost) normal hair again. It was expensive. I'm not one for fussy hair care, I don't even have a hair dryer. After bubs was born, my hair went greasy, so I was able to go back to old faithful! Funnily enough, my second pregnancy didn't seem to shock my hair at all; although I still had major "Morning" sickness with both.

Vitamin C does neutralize chlorine. I was a competitive swimmer growing up and just had damaged hair and itchy dry skin for years, and as an adult I learned about using vitamin C/ascorbic acid to neutralize chlorine, and I can’t go back now that I know. You can make it yourself pretty cheaply using vitamin C crystals you can buy at a health food store. Comes in pretty large containers, and you don’t need a lot for a bottle of homebrew swim spray.

I have very bleached sections of my hair (I wanted grey streaks and under layer) and my hair is very thin, fine, and brittle usually because i get too depressed to care for it sometimes. I soak my hair through and then coat it gently in coconut oil or my hair oil that I hadon hand at the time, it's cocoa and honey hair and scalp oil from uhhh I forget. But it's a pink bottle. And I stayed in the pool all day in a loose braid and was too tired to rinse my hair after, and I was still not damaged after a lot of swimming days. So I think that helps, just have water in your hair already and a good oil blend. I think an oil that can soak into the hair and one that stays on the surface helps. I also go easy on shampoo unless I've been in the pool to give my hair a break and just conditioner wash in the summer.

Really helpful. My biggest takeaways are that a shampoo may be only really cleaning some things from hair but leaving others behind which then accumulate until the point it's noticeable. But because it wasn't all at once it's not obvious the shampoo simply needs to be rotated with one that cleans the holdover ingredient better. Also I've long known hard water was a problem, but never knew the problem was compounded by using fatty acids in hair products. I've liked fatty acids in general for my hair but may need to rethink that.

Are the ingredients to look for or avoid? I have scalp problems, I have minor psoriasis, used to have yeast problems, am allergic to sulfates, the list goes on. I've found recommendations online that using good scalp hydrating products and after shampooing can be a good step to hydrate and protect the scalp skin after washing. (Like adding adding lotion after washing your face, important to keep the skin healthy.) I've found most conditioners are not really made for this, and leave the scalp feeling a bit icky. "scalp lotion" doesn't seem to exist. What can I use?

Dear Michelle, It would be amazing if you could make a video breakdown of the studies that show a link between chemical hair straighteners and ovarian and other cancers. I learned about it a couple months ago and I see that in US television it was talked about a lot, but there are many, especially black women all over the world who are still using it frequently and who don't have the information. Since you are amazing at breaking down complicated science I think it would be a great contribution if you could talk about it to bring awareness. People please like this comment, if you think this is important so she sees this. Thank you ❤️

I too would like to see this video. I'm Black but I haven't used those products for a long time. I noticed the discourse about it and also noticed that it was all based on one study that ended with, "more studies needed for conclusion" or something like that. I would like Michelle to do an in depth video to see what's fit for concern and what's bs.

it's hard for me to find anything on this, mostly i keep getting marketing articles shilling for dry shampoo, which isn't what i'm looking for. my questions are: what's the science between hair being better/easier to style on day 2 or 3? what's our natural oil, and how does it compare with oils in hair products? my hair has become so dry & frizzy.

Does she have any videos on all the “bonding” products ? K18, Olaplex 3, Epres etc ? Thanks

OMG, you are so reasonable 🥰 Do showerheads actually work to effectively soften the water (any specific recommendations)? I was under the impression that only the systems with a tanker would do the trick (unfortunately, a no-go for me since I live in a condo). Would really love to hear your opinion. Thanks, and please keep doing what you're doing! Much love from Canada 🥰

I live in an area with hard water and I did notice a big impact in my hair and skin. Is there any shower head softener that you recommend? I have difficulty identifying one that is legitimate and will indeed work. Thanks! 😊

How can I choose a good humidity resistant product? Which ingredients do I have to look for? I really struggle with this problem. My hair are flat iron straight and then I go out, 30 minutes and hair became a wavy mess. And i have fine hair too.

hi! I was wondering if you would ever do a video about retinal. I often see it in cosmetics with concentration simmilar to tretinoin rather than retinol. I see an explanation that retinal is one conversion less to trerinoin than retinol, but I dont get the fact that is is still used in such low concentrstions. I've also read that retinal gives people less iritation than retinol, which conserns me a bit since both of them theoretically should work the same and just give the same end product which is known for its irritancy. I cant find any satisfying data about retinal and im really curious if it is really so potent that it is used in 10 times less concentration than standard retinol products while having less side effects. Great video as always ❤️

I’m loving your hair videos recently! Have you heard of the Blowout Professor? He seems to have a lot of quality advice that makes sense in a lot of ways but it would be super interesting to hear from a Chemistry perspective, would love to see you talk about/react to it!

I'll watch this in a moment. Discovered you via Nebula and would prefer to watch you there. However the vid that caught me was the one on shampoo. At the end you asked if this was of interest. I have grey/white hair now at one time I had curly to nearly an afro dark brown/black and red hair. So the top of my hair is sort of straight the parts below are curly/wavey. Shampoo and CONDITIONer seem to be important Oh it's also shoulder length. So definitely want on Nebula another episode or more? Thanks

I recently moved to a different city and the water is really hard and it has iron. Washing clothes, hair, myself, everything is a nightmare. My hair is frizzy, puffy, rough, and hard. Idk what to do. How to improve and/or repair my hair?
@milutii 8 ай бұрын
Oh man. Do you have a video on how to deal with TOO SOFT water (my city oversoftens the water)? My curls are almost non-existent since moving here. So many products and so much information on hard water, but basically nothing on overly softened water. 😤😭
