I was today years old when I learned that my hair is popcorn, wow 🤯🍿

✔️✅

Myeah… my mom stupidly tested this “if it’s safe to eat then it’s safe to put on your skin” hypothesis and put a slice of garlic on her face over something she thought it’s ward and slept with it overnight. Now, after 70 years of perfect skin she has that one scar from chemical burn. Expensive lesson.

Who bunch of know it all in the comments

love your videos very informative, thank you ❤

What we need is to walk in a salon, tell us what type hair we have , then give us a list of products to try and how to use them. I’ve wasted so much money on products that don’t work on my hair type.

As a bald man this video is invaluable information just in case my hair ever comes back

Recent subscriber to your channel. This video is HUGE for me! I desperately need help for how to take care of my hair. My mother was basically useless for teaching me, because it felt like torture letting her "care" for my hair as a child. She has wavy hair. I have very curly hair. She would use brushes on my dry hair to untangle my hair. She was always trying to be rough and fast. Ugh.

I have curly hair. Was always told it waa dry. I use hydrating products...it still feels like straw. What do I use now? In humidity it looks like I sruck my finger in a light socket. Ughhhh tired of the constant dry frizzzzz!!!! HELP!!!

I just read allll my hair care products as a 4c/kinky curly hair girl. I don’t see that mentioned on a singleeeee product that specifically markets to kinky hair, but I do see it for more straight wavey hair products. I wonder why that is?

I can only wish for having so much hair that it would be "too much" so I would need that undercut ... having so much hair is a blessing :(

My hair is thinning. I have to use hair fibers which is bad for your scalp but i don't really have a choice. No one can figure out why it's happening.

Please talk about synthetic tocopherol. It’s everywhere in skincare, but there are a few studies that point to it being carcinogenic. Also to tocopherol esters accelerating cancer caused by uv light (in mice). It’s super confusing to someone who is not very familiar with chemistry

This is seriously so informative!!! Your teaching style is amazing as you share things in metaphors and similes that everyone can understand. THANK YOU!!!! ❤

wait so, low and high porosity products or hair is just missinformation, like there's no such thing?

I also have trichotillomania (eyebrows and eyelashes), and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for addressing It the way you did , and not in the "terrible shaming secret" way that most of us feel when we have to Talk about It. ❤

Wow I'm actually shocked, I looked at products in disgust if they still had parabens!! But... I do think phenoxyethanol is harmful, so I prefer products with food grade preservatives like potassium sorbate, if it's safe to eat and protects our food from microbes then it can protect our beauty products.

I ditched all the "snake oil" products and my scalp and hair is so much healthier. Drugstore silicone free shampoo and conditioner, I save the silicones for my styler/leave in (mousse or leave in cream). That's all that's in my hair arsenal and I finally have good scalp and can go to day three without hair feeling disgusting. A lot of great advice from this channel lead me to this.

How do you feel about aloe vera in the hair?

Wow I was always told not to clip my nails when they were wet because they were weak.. (sound familiar) wow I'm going to be changing my process

This is why I mind my own business 😢I do what’s best for my kinky hair use the shampoo that my hair loves for the past 20 years Pantene is perfect for me. And I compliment it with NILOTIQA products and my hair is beautiful 😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Clicked this so fast ha! This video is so informative!!! Thank you so much for putting all the time and effort into making this. ❤ I recently started using shampoo bars that I get from my local farm. The lady who makes them only uses essential oils/herbs that’s beneficial for skin and hair. Made a huge. I don’t even buy hair products at the store.

I hear so much chatter about castor oil. Especially for growing thicker hair on the eyebrows and eyelashes. There are vast amounts of 'miracles' attributed to this one little oil. What do you know about it? Are any of them true? (I'm pretty sceptical when it comes to scientific research to begin with so I'd like to know what is the data?)

OMG! I use that shampoo. Now I know why I keep peeing out aqua every time I go to the toilet. Sometimes it even comes out of my eyes. It’s so f’d up. Straight in the bin with that sh!t.

I absolutely love how you can make science easy to understand and so much fun to watch!!

Use cold air from your dryer

I have a good shower filter and it changed everything for the good

I worked as an editor for hair science videos and honestly this is so much more info and so well explained. It answers questions I didn’t know I had.

please do a heat protectant video

I like that you mentioned the Loreal Elvive! I have had bleached hair for over 10 years, started using the hyaluron one last year and really liked it. I had used redken (a blue damage one) and had my hair falling out (not broken, since it had regrowth!). I tried using the elvive nutrient for a while, haven't liked it as much as the hyaluron!

STUDY THE WRITINGS OF G-D. STRESS AND WORRY IS AN ACTUAL DISOBEDIENCE TO G-D AND HIS WRITINGS. BUT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF G-D, THERE WON'T BE STRESS AND WORRY BECAUSE YOU ARE LIVING BY THE WORD. TORAH/NEW COVENANT

4C hair needs hydration oils and butters to grow, since they cant get teheir natural oils due to the tight coil or curl inside their follicle, that does not get down to the hair shaft, not all hair is the same. Fine hair do not need oils at all, they are doing this copying 4C hair, they have abundant natural oils, protecting hydration, after a basic shampoo and conditioner!

I love your content Michelle 😍 The combination of your love for skin/hair care PLUS the foundation of your big knowledge as a scientist is 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Lol, this is my second video to ever view from your channel. True Story: the first video , that I viewed from You was about Hair products and DRY vs WET Hair...there was so much chemistry ( great examples)., that I "saved" that particular video. But instead of 'saving' it to my "Hair" playlist... I created a new playlist, " CHEMISTRY""!! Tis why, I'm laughing because in your 2nd video, this One, you clearly stated that You are a CHEMIST! THANK YOU SO MUCH FO YOUR EXPLANATION and Videos! I can't wait to learn more!!!

I DIDN'T LOVE MYSELF?? LET ME DEBUNK YOU. WE ARE NOT TO LOVE ONESELF. WE ARE TO LOVE G-D FIRST AND THEN TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. WHEN YOU FOLLOW REAL SCIENCE (G-D) YOU WILL START TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE TO BE HUMBLE WITH A QUIET SPIRIT NOT DRAWING ATTENTION TO ONESELF. PRIDELESS BECAUSE G-D HATES PRIDE. AND WE ARE TO BE OBEDIENT AND PLEASING TO G-D AND HIS WRITINGS. IT STARTS WITH REPENTANCE.

Heyy people... So my hair is like the right image(the frizzy one) in the thumbnail... The hair strands in itself feel silky and shiny but together they become like that image (poofy, frizzy, looks dull and damaged)... Also I have virgin hair... So what should I do?? Any suggestions plzz..

Can you make an entire video on this ? because this interview scared a lot of people 😢

PRIVILEGED? BEING AN ASIAN WOMAN WHO LOOKS YOUNGER? PRIDE IS EVIL. G-D HATES PRIDE. PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW G-D 101.

I'm actually embarrassed that I've got an entire university degree and was never taught that THAT'S what peer review was. I thought it was recreating a study and confirming that they had the same findings 🥲

I don't even know what is going on anymore and what to do

Thank You for Your videos, I find them very informative yet digestible. I was wondering if silicones are really that bad for hair, I’m using silicone containing products on my human hair wigs and it doesn’t seem to do any harm.

Hard water is damaging my hair. Idk about you all, but I have to use ACV and Aztec Clay mask more often because of hard water build up on my strands and scalp.

I tried olaplex 3 for the first time and my hair feels super soft, light, and with less frizz

Teenage me LOVED head and shoulders! I only stopped using it when my skin and scalp began drying out naturally with age

This dude is an idiot I see him a lot on insta and he just parrots all day long everything other influencers like him say. He has no idea what he’s talking about ever but he has a large following! Don’t understand why exactly 😂

Late to the party, but I started with supergoop unseen sunscreen until I found the trader Joe's dupe. I work at a nursery, so sunscreen is a must. I feel like the supergoop was more prone to stinging my eye if it got into the corners vs the trader joes version. It also seemed like the trader joes seemed to last longer than the super goop, but it could be that I may have wiped some of it off and then began feeling the sun sooner. Just my two cents 😊 If you have a chance to do more trader Joe skincare reviews, I am some of my friends would love that!

I don't understand why do hair products have glycerine or hyaluronic acid in it, given water doesn't help in moisturizing the hair

So awesome!!!!! You rock!

Idk as someone who grew up with scientist parents, science can be just as much of a cult as the anti vax movement. Take black box warnings for example. I had terrible dandruff my whole life until i started using olive oil soap my friends family makes in lebanon. Gone.

I still don’t know the answer to this video, but at 16:12 I just found out I’ve been cutting my nails wrong for 40 some years
