5 Common Ways You're DAMAGING Your Hair (WITHOUT REALIZING IT)

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

​@@TravWhiteStyle Hey Trav. Do you happen to know what causes a lot of men AND women to have slightly weaker hair on top of their heads than sides? Often the hair on the sides is even in women slightly thicker and shinier than on top. It is also visible in (dark) blonde or brown haired men (or women), where the sides are quite often slightly bit darker than the top (which very slightly gives it a coup de solei) . Also, right in the area of the crown and the hairline, the hairs are often thinner, lighter and dryer too. Have you spotted this same thing? I have this going on with my hair. Hair on top is finer in texture and does not retain any water and never looks wet. The hair on the side does retain water and look wet. The hair top looks kind of shit in quality without product (frizzly/dry). The texture of my hair is wavy (smaller curls on top - obviously since the hair is more fine too). I noticed that my hair started to look more like this after/around puberty and worsened from age 13-16 or so. When I was a kid (like age 3) I had very straight hair at all. I would be very interested to know which hormones cause this increase in curls and why this differecne between sides and top. It would be great if you could respond to this or make a video about the subejct

[@ryanneedles3861]

@@PowerRedBullTypology I have the same thing with it looking slightly lighter at the temples & I dunno if you mentioned this too but when I buzzed it last time before i started growing it out the part in front of my ears looked noticeably darker (where sideburns would be). My hair is really thick & booshy but I can't really complain lol, I need to stop being so fuckin anxious of my forehead though 😅

[@grungeisdeadd]

I never, ever blow dry my hair...or even brush it. I have super... difficult hair. I have curls, waves, and straight strands all up in my hair, so if I were to brush or blow dry, it will be super frizzy

[@annal3870]

Definitely! My problem is dry hair!

[@LoverIsaDayy]

Imma save your time folks: 1) Wetting hair daily - when the hair is wet, it will swell, having the hair swell and return to regular size frequently will damage over time. Wash hair w shampoo twice per week. 2)Washing incorrectly - gently scrub scalp with shampoo - wring out your hair so it’s not as soaked - condition on hair shaft (not the roots) - let condition set for 5 mins, wash rest of body - rinse it out 3) Drying your hair incorrectly - air drying is more damaging according to how it’s swollen for long periods to dry - instead pat your hair down w a towel and blow dry on low heat with 6 inches away 4) UV damage - use olive oil as sunscreen for your hair 5) Using wrong shampoo - Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is bad for your hair. Read ingredients. 👍

The hair on my head started thinning big time after an extremely stressful period I went through. Consequently, I myself researched the net and decided to test a hair oil called litttleextra coocoonion & a comb made of neem wood. It really really made a difference. At present, I have lengthy, thick, black hair which has grown down to my waist and cut off three times since I started. Simple & effective. Also, equally effective is massaging the scalp - it stimulates hair growth. You just have to do this once a week. Pretty soon, you will see new hair growing in.

Hey tip for going sulfate free! You would want to avoid silicones (if you look up silicones found in hair products you could probably find long lists) because silicones require sulfates to properly remove them from hair and without using a sulfate to dissolve the silicone you could be left with buildup on your hair and scalp (which no one wants)

Depends on the person actually, not everyone produces oil from the scalps in the same ratio. Which is why some people have rough hair and some have smooth hair without doing anything.

I'm a woman, but this tips are actually pretty good, and other women do this too. But something I didn't know but I've been wondering since some time ago, was the uv damage and how could I protect my hair from the sun, so this 6:76 was very helpful, I didn't have idea olive oil could help with that! Besides, olive oil is really good to hydrate the hair, so it's pretty cool.

[@CidZAER]

I don't have especially long hair, but this is incredibly useful info. A solid answer for how long I should leave conditioner in and proper drying technique is absolutely something I've been looking for. I try to limit shampooing to twice a week just because I've seen better results from doing so, but even with that and combing 2-3 times a day to distribute oils from the scalp, I find my hair isn't as healthy-looking as I'd like by the time my next wash day comes around. The one thing I don't do for sure is the drying techniques, so I'm going to give that a try and see how it goes!

You'll always lose a ton of hair, whether it's long or short and no matter how well you take care of it. The longer it gets the more noticeable it is, but hair falling out is normal. You only really have a problem if it's falling out more quickly than it regrows.

I'm no expert but I would suggest daily intake of Saw Palmetto (1x) and Vit D (1x.) Furthermore, be sure to massage your scalp outside of the shower daily. Just massage your scalp in a way that feels pleasurable. David Bowie once said when asked how he maintained such a good head of hair: "Just keep touching it." It will be hard to regrow hair you've already lost without some sort of medical treatment, but the things I've outlined, in conjunction with the points laid out in this video, should help you maintain what you still have.

As a guy who's been slowly losing his ridiculously curly hair (legit ringlets like a typical anime rich girl), I've been looking for good tips on how to maintain it properly so I can enjoy what I have left while I have it, I'm excited to try yours. I'm still very hesitant on only washing my hair once a week since my hair gets oily pretty fast, though I do it every other day. I'll try these and hopefully they work! I've been using Head & Shoulders 2 in 1, which has worked fine but definitely isn't the right kind for my hair. I just ordered some "OGX Thick & Full + Biotin & Collagen Extra Strength Volumizing Shampoo" and the conditioner that goes with it.

I have long curly hair too but mine gets super dry super fast. So I only wash once a week if that. But sorry to break it to this guy but I wet my hair everyday and with conditioner and it’s fine

I have to say, I've had my hair long for a couple of years and these last 3 months I noticed that I was loosing too much hair. So I decided to check your video. I learned that I was doing all bad things said in this video. And what actually started of making me losing my hair was that I cleaned my hair every single day since the last 4 months when I started to change my routines. So when doing exercises I always had my hair greasy, so I washed my hair when I arrived home. Its crazy how a change of routine, leads to another change of routine. I will watch your other videos due to how well explained they are. Thank you for your tips and instructions! I will see the results in 5 months.

[@crazybobby14]

@@TCt83067695 I apologize for the late reply. I had decided to do other checks and forgot about to update on this comment. TLDR - It does work, results may be seen 3 weeks later. I decided to do 3 months first of doing what I always did and collected the hair I lost in a zip-lock bag to have a "controlled" test to see the differences from before and after. Once the 3 months came by, I started to follow this video's recommendations. The only thing I didn't change where the products I used like shampoo and conditioner to have a fair result. I didn't start to see results until 2 weeks passed. I saw that I was losing less hair than before. When 3 months passed (6 total since start), I compared with how much hair I lost before the changes and I saw a ~40% decrease in hair loss which is a lot. My curiosity increased and decided to add 3 months more but with a more expensive shampoo and conditioner for hair loss. 2 months in already(almost 3) and honestly, I saw no difference, the old one was Tio Nacho. New one is Monat. Guess i'll stay with my old products. A bit of story to understand what I found to be doing wrong. When I was in university 6 years ago, my hygiene wasn't nice. I used to take baths every 3 to 5 days. Yea I know, nasty. Well my hair was long and at that time was silky smooth with a lot of volume. After graduating I slowly changed my routine to take a bath 2 times everyday, after arriving from work and when waking up. Well, I washed my hair every single time. I didn't notice I was losing hair, and when I did, I thought it was due to aging. My wife started to lose hair and she thought she had alopecia. We both joked that she was starting to look like Vegeta. I started to search online and that is how I stumbled on this video. I showed her the video and she started to regain volume after a while. So the problem all this time, was that both of us washed too much our hairs. I still have the hair samples in a zip-lock bag, but I don't think I will upload a video about it.

Oh hey a little too for going sulphate free, you would also want to avoid silicones (commonly found in conditioner) because the majority of them need sulphates to dissolve. However if you’re simply going sulphate free and continue using silicones that is still a huge step in the right direction and your hair and scalp will be much much healthier

It depends on the porosity of your hair and if it’s curly. I have low porosity, dense and thin curly hairs. So I only pat/compress dry and then air dry or my hair will look dead or a frizzy mess. The more porous your hair the more it expands when wet and therefore contracts when drying. The only people who should be air drying already have faster drying hair. Curly and straight aren’t the same. While my hair will look better sometimes a day or two after a wash, straight hair looks best right after a wash. Two different strategies. One is to gain control(straight hair) the other is to empower the hair to do its thing(curly hair).
