I have to be much more careful (and often more sparing) with bog standard shampoo and conditioner, but there are some pretty decent ones. Besides, unless your family all want terminal hair length, it's wildly excessive to use those more expensive products.

I think that "brush once a week in the shower" one was a game of telephone from the curly hair community. Because for curly hair, it is common to 1) wash weekly and 2) detangle in the shower with conditioner in. At a certain point, the lessened friction from water+conditioner outweighs the benefits of dry detangling. Especially when your dry hair curls back into tangles...speaking from experience 💀

With the cutting your hair to make it grow longer, it’s definitely supposed to mean that if you don’t get trims every so often to remove the dead ends, they will keep splitting upward and break off, so the speed of your hair growth definitely stays the same, but it’s about maintaining the length by trimming split ends before they split up or break off, preventing the “growth” (actually the length) of your hair. I think some people think it’s affecting the literal growth when it’s effecting the progress of growth. It’s still an important tip for growing long hair, people just need to understand why!

Now i can let it air dry without ugly problems. Intrigued by the idea of being able to not air dry. And also learning it can make things worse. I would like balance of doing both air dry days and dryer days. I have chemical and heat damage I'm repairing. I'd like a diffuser though for faster drying time. Yesterday i cleverly hovered in front of my electric fireplace 😂 the "breeze" is super low and lowered the temp. Rotating position5 every 5-7 minutes I was ready to scrunch 35 ish mins. Lol.

I think it depends on how long it takes for your hair to dry. It takes less than 2 hours for my hair to air dry. If I use gel in my hair it can take 10+ hours to dry and your hair being wet for that long IS damaging. So if I use a gel, I will diffuse/blow dry my hair, if not then I won't.

Yes, I can't stand the salon-brand snobbery, especially because the most common complaint against drugstore shampoos is that they have sulfates, which . . . isn't true anymore. Most of them don't, and yet most of the salon-brand shampoos do (kerastase, redken, aveda to name a few). I'm convinced it's because they want you to buy their sulfate shampoos to strip the color out of your hair faster so you'll come back sooner 😂 Obviously, there are good quality salon products and bad quality drugstore products, but I can't stand it when hairstylists demonize them all.

So the way the industry works,... if your working in a salon and they sale retail, they ofcourse are going to push their products because of the % of the sale they will make!!!! Now if your like me, and own your own salon and still recommend a professional product....BUT you resell it to your clients at the exact price you paid, then it's just because it's an awesome product!! 😊 And not washing as much is good for people that have oily hair, and you can train your hair to make less oil! But it's totally true If your scalp is sensitive and your due to dermatitis...that's a recipe for disaster! You don't want your scalp to be dehydrated nor do you want a sore, sensitive grease pit!! 😩 And I've actually read a TON of articles about sulfates because it was odd how long we have used them, then all of a sudden they were just bad!!!! But to be fair, they aren't! Someone with very sensitive scalp or skin could have a reaction from then, and that would be bad! And surfactants CAN cause color to fade faster...but thats usually only if you have vivid colors (that already fade fairly quickly) or it can cause reds to fade even faster! But that doesn't mean they should throw the entire world of people into that category! 🙄 Our sales industry is something else!

The drugstore snobbery is beyond ridiculous. my favorite is "Salon brands use higher quality ingredients" Reeaally?! prove it. Prove to me that the Cetearyl Alcohol in your salon brand is of a better quality than the Cetearyl Alcohol in the drugstore brand. Prove to me that the manufacturer of each brand is not actually using the same cetearyl alcohol, since manufacturers of ingredients are pretty limited. "Salon brands are more concentrated" Again.. Prove it. Salon brands, and drug store brands both show water as the first ingredient. By law, the ingredient used at the highest volume percentage in the overall formula must be listed first on the ingredients label, and the rest must be listed in descending order based on overall percentage used in the formula. So, that means both brands highest used ingredient is water. Unless you know the exact formula that was used for both brands, then your OPINION that one brand is more concentrated than another brand is just that. Your opinion. And that opinion was loosely based on the fact that you do not know how to read an ingredients label, are unfamiliar with professional formulation, and because you were taught its true in Beauty School. I absolutely loathe people who try to shame other people for not purchasing salon brands. They are literally not worth the money they charge. And not everyone can afford to spend that money. If you are the type that shames someone for what they use on their hair you are an ass. Period. Let people use what they want without judging, shaming, or getting uppity about it. I dont care if you went to Beauty school or not. They do NOT teach product formulation so you have no actual background in that area to speak as if you have professional knowledge about it, so stop shaming people.

Washing your hair everyday might be worse for you hair than washing more infrequently, but washing your scalp more often if you have oily scalp it's much better for you to wash whenever necessary. I prioritize my scalp because healthy scalp=healthy hair. I tried scalp training for long periods of time and it made zero difference. I have very fine hair and fine hair means you have more hair strands, and more sebaceous filaments. There's nothing that's going to stop the oil from coming, and for the majority of people the amount of oil you produce is down to genetics and there's no amount of scalp training that will reduce the oils.

It’s definitely taken me a long time to figure out a good washing schedule for me, especially with changes to moving and my water source changing, my workout schedule, and change to products. As for a protective style at night, I do a loose braid normally but after wash day it’s different. I know a lot of wavies/curlies put hair in a pineapple, but this doesn’t work for my hairline. I now flip my hair up loosely, but use a small jaw clip and clip the ends of my hair up on the top of my head. The key is to not clip tight to your scalp and don’t pull hair tight. It works to keep my waves in tact for a day or two longer! These are excellent points to go over and you offered a lot of clarity on all these! Thank you for all the research and explaining you do for us. 😃

My hairdresser explained the reason why people say that cutting the hair makes it grow more: it's advice for people who are growing their because they want more length. The hair grows from the root, so obviously the ends of the hair don't dictate growth rate, BUT she stated that frequent trims keep the hair healthier by avoiding split ends. She said that a split end is kind of like a run in a stocking: it splits "upwards," and then you have to cut that part off. You'll have to cut more if not addressed routinely, therefore cutting off the length. I hope that makes sense. :)

It's simple: we have to wash our hair when it's dirty! so sometimes it can be everyday, it depends on our lifestyle. Scalp=Skin, it's not good to keep it dirty too long. But if it's everyday, protecting our hair with coconut oil before is a good idea!

The color came out all right but my hair was breaking off in clumps after trying it. I was lucky enough that a lot of length stayed in tact and it only looked like I got layers cut. But I will never, ever let baking soda near my head again LOL.

Hey Abbey! I came to this channel because I’ve always been confused with my hair. It was curly and frizzy during childhood and then became wavy as an adult, but it has always been FRIZZY and coarse. I used heat on my hair often throughout high school without protectant for awhile, but it’s been 5-6 years since I stopped doing that, and I’ve only ever gotten my hair treated once or twice in my life (like a relaxant treatment), and again that was 7 years ago. My hair has gotten a little better but my main issue is that it’s so dry that it takes on average about 3 weeks to get oily to the point that I want to wash it. I do put products in my hair after washing it to try to get it to retain moisture. Everyone always thinks that’s nasty that I don’t wash my hair every other day or at least once a week, but I’m afraid of drying my hair out if I wash that often. Is that just how my hair is, or am I doing something wrong?

However I would like to see more content backed by experiments/research on the hows and whys of what absorbs better and benefits the hair more so I can help my clients more with some factual evidence instead of everyone's opinion on what works best. There is an incredible amount of misinformation present in the advertising market and almost all of it contradicts itself. A type of oil is claimed to absorb into the cuticle layer more or less than another, based on the molecule size, but some other study (funded by a product trying to sell something) says that that isn't the case and that THEIR product oil thing can absorb but nothing else can. Something 'adds more moisture' to the hair, but it doesn't actually add moisture as in water or hydration, it adds a type of oil based conditioning agent. Moisture doesn't mean what we think it does in hair terms. There are so many different products that claim to change everyone's hair in dramatic ways but only have their statement to back it up. the only actual studies that I'm aware of on these topics are funded by brands pushing their products and are biased. This is a complicated topic and I would love to see more work done on it.

I wash my hair 3-4 times a week at least, if I don't my hair starts to look flatter or weighted down, and itchy but it also depends on my workout routine. If I work out every single day I will most likely increase how much I wash my hair. I fell into a trap of using only "green" "natural" hair products and found that it made me shed more than normal so I went back to drugstore shampoos and my hair shedding reduced substantially, having said that some drugstore shampoos weigh my hair down too much that it feels as if I haven't wash my hair in dayssss.... so what might work for some might not work for others for sure!

I work in a barn, in a manual labor capacity, in a tropical climate. My whole body is dusty, dirty, and sweaty enough at the end of the day to need a proper wash, hair included. Maybe in a different life I wouldn't wash every day, but just talking about breakage isn't the full picture of what's right for each person

OK so I do not use heat on my hair and the way that I do my hair is I take a shower at nighttime, I apply all of my products .. No it's not comfortable but I twist my hair up and I use a clip and then I also sleep with one of those headbands that people wear to keep their hair out of their face to do makeup or skin care. I also have some that are like towel material, *sometimes satin bonnets .. That is to protect my sides and have them lay flat and When I wake up the next day my hair is perfect and I have pretty much trained myself to not move around in my sleep. My daughter and I both have curly hair so for her because she definitely moves around I put her hair in French braids. The only time that I ever put baking soda in my hair was because I was trying to get a green tint out and I didn't have a choice it was that mixed With Apple cider vinegar I think
