6 HIDDEN CAUSES of DRY HAIR *How To Fix It*

[@Marcyksubliminals]

I have 2c-2a hair that also has a damaged wave and curl pattern, so i do not usually need natural hair tips (sometimes i do) however i am becoming a hairdresser and want to be educated in all hair types because this field of work really lacks in adequate type 4 hair care (especially 4c hair) , black hair in general in all honesty. so i am very grateful for your channel and work! I will definitely be studying your channel for the best hair tips ❤️

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Welcome to my channel! We definitely need more well-rounded hairstylist. I think taking the initiative to learn more is awesome! ❤️

[@sherynngofa6175]

I love your channel! FYI...Chelating is pronounced Kee-LAY-ting.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Oh wow! THANK YOU for the correction! I’ve never heard it pronounced correctly. Just looked it up after reading your comment. I appreciate the help ❤️

[@lovesara310]

FYI Kinky Curly Come Clean is both clarifying and chelating shampoo people, as well as Kenra Clarifying Shampoo ♥

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Sunshine_Hime]

Right on time, I clicked soo fast once I saw the notification, I really need this video since I'm currently in a place with dry climate and have noticed it's more difficult to retain moisture. Thank you❤

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Sounds like what I dealt with in California. I hope my tips help!

[@Sunshine_Hime]

@@LaToyaEbonyHair Just finished watching the video and its definitely the dry air and hard water, your tips are extremely helpful 🥰

[@MishaRW]

Thanks for the suggestions! I really need to look into getting a shower filter. I love the Pattern detangling brush (although I hated it the first time I used it, lol). It goes through my hair like a hot knife through butter and the bristles feel so good on my scalp. I wish Pattern would make a scalp scrubber.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Oooooo That’s a great description! 😍

[@jeanblack5506]

Thanks for the tips. I live in the desert and the water is hard, my hair feels like straw most of the time. I have used the Malibu treatment, and had the shower filter i did see a difference. My hair was more defined. It's time to buy more Malibu product along with a good moisturizing conditioner.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Sometimes oldies really are goodies. I go back to tried and true products alllll the time. You know exactly what you need. 🙌🏾

[@chinelolovesu]

I think dry air + chelating (btw I didn’t know what that was) but I might need to incorporate that and/or get a water filter. I’ve been thinking about the water filter for a while but I get scared when it comes to installation. Nobody wants a leaky shower head! Great video LaToya, glad to see you posting again❤

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

The filter from Amazon that I linked has a tutorial from a creator on the Amazon page. It looks helpful!

[@divinemsm716]

Kinky Curly Come Clean contains the chelating ingredient EDTA. This makes it the perfect clarifier for my fine 4c hair.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I love it for my hair as well!

[@ayo_hitman_bang_introduces]

From what another creator on here, AfrikanHairgod, has explained, most shampoos do contain citric acid, edta...etc as part of the formula. But not in high enough amounts to make the shampoo itself a chelating shampoo. Ideally, the chelating ingredients should be higher up on the list. Of course, I've never used this particular shampoo and maybe it's formulated to be chelating. If it works great for you, then great. But if hard water is a concern for you, then you might want to look into chelating shampoos and see how it works for you.

[@divinemsm716]

@@ayo_hitman_bang_introduces Thanks for the info. For a while I was using Paul Mitchell’s #3 Clarifying shampoo (which I loved) but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. KCCC has been working well for me but if you have another suggestion, I’m all ears. Thanks again. 😊👍🏽

[@ayo_hitman_bang_introduces]

@divinemsm716 you're welcome. As for suggestions, I have heard good things about the malibu c hard water wellness shampoo and the olaplex clarifying shampoo here on these youtube streets. I haven't tried them myself though. I loved ORS creamy aloe shampoo but it's so hard to find it where I live. Ultimately though, since the current one works for you, I'd suggest you dont change it until a need arises.

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

Oh a shower filter! Thanks for the information. I recently talked about dry hair in a video.

[@starmaxx4]

Thank you so much LaToya! Yes, hard water is no joke 🤦🏾‍♀️.. luv this video 🥰💙

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

❤❤❤❤

[@thriftyandclassy]

the Kazmaleje combs are really good. I have the entire set. I got rid of my Felicia Leatherwood Brush, it was taking out too much of my hair. Great tips.

[@sassylassy4]

Just ordered my filter. Thanks for the reminder. ❤

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Niiiice! I hope you like it and it helps you with your hair goals!

[@sassylassy4]

@@LaToyaEbonyHair If you recommend it...I'm sure it's awesome.

[@Brklynnoelle]

i have hard water but because i clarify frequently i think this helps with hard water effects. im looking to get a shower filter though. great video ebony!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Hard water is the silent hair killer lol! Kudos for clarifying regularly. That shower filter looks 🤌🏾 Can’t wait to get mine.

[@WLHMCALLNATURAL]

About the edges , l wash them everyday or every other day ! Cleansing edges daily helps to regrow them.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

🙌🏾❤️

[@esthertjones]

I believe professional stylists don't replace their very expensive shears, they just get them sharpened. 👍🏼

[@ezinnemaduagwu3617]

Hey LaToya. I’ve watched almost every KZbin video out there about hair and I always keep coming back to your videos. I love that you represent women who have hair like mine and you put out content that different from the vast majority of other hair influences. I appreciate all the knowledge you provide and I’ve learnt a lot from you. I do have a question for you. I don’t believe you’ve put out a video about the texture release. Unless I missed it lol. But is it really as safe as everyone says it is and would you ever try it

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Hey 👋🏾 thank you so much for your kind comment! Texture release - you’re in luck! I have a recent video on it here: SAFE Relaxers. Is This For Real?! **Texture Release** kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIGUc5ifebxletk To answer your question, I’m happy to see that formulators and chemist are attempting to create products that are more safe than traditional relaxers. There is risk using ANY hair product or chemical. “Safe” to me is relative. It’s safe enough to be on the market and be applied to the hair IF the product is compliant across the world. The US cosmetics business isn’t regulated so I don’t 100% trust everything sold here lol! The texture release breaks the chemical bonds of the hair and then reforms them. Relaxers so the same thing, but uses a more harsh active ingredient. In my opinion, nothing will be safer than keeping the natural texture of your hair. I talk more about my opinions at the end of the video, but I personally wouldn’t try it. I hope the video helps and I answered your question! ❤️

[@SamriBliss]

My dry hair was caused by heavy metals in henna. It coats the hair and deposits proteins and minerals that makes it hard for water and creams and oils from accessing the shafts. I got OLAPLEX clarifying shampoo yesterday and conditioned and applied leave-in conditioner and shea butter.

[@cofaynomilk]

It dawned on me I might have hard water damage a few weeks ago. So I bought a filter for that. I noticed a bubble change and moisture immediately after. Plus it did help to do a final rinse with cold water

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

That is great that the cold water helped. I talked about dry hair recently in an upload.

[@JessieBanana]

Portland, OR has some of the softest water in the country, between that and my Ouidad products, I never get build up. Products don’t stop working and I don’t experience build up.

[@Iwasonceanonionwithnolayers]

I only do protein treatments when my hair feels really weak and soft. Can't stick to a regime anyway so listening to Robin and being attentive is the best way to go for me. Some who are more protein sensitive (like fine hair) might benefit from skipping the treatment and just incorporating light protein products into their routine sometimes

[@nahomieriche4827]

This was so helpful Latoya, thanks. 😊

[@Iwasonceanonionwithnolayers]

😅 We know how I feel about combs and brushes, so SO excited for the upcoming reviews!

Hi LaToya, very helpful video thanks Boo 💋💋💋

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

You are so welcome

[@ItsJoys26]

Hi!! clarifying __ and chelating shampoo are the same things, I would suggest following both of those with a moisturising shampoo!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

They serve a similar purpose, but from a chemistry perspective, they are not exactly the same. I agree that both should be followed up with a moisturizing shampoo!

[@GlitterSkies]

My favorite hard water shampoo is the Redken hair cleaning cream shampoo 4% cleansing complex. It is my go to for a reset. My hair always looks shinier when I use it

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@JustJoia]

Shower filter and checking my tools this month. I agree because my body is telling we need a humidifier so I know my hair will relish in it.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Listen, the humidifier is key for me - especially in the winter. The air gets SO dry! The body knows!

[@alisameireis3628]

This video was really, really good. Great info! I know I need to purchase a pair of scissors and I noticed you provided an Amazon link in the description box….Thank you so much for doing that!! Couldn’t find any info in your earrings though…..Love them!!!!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Ah! Thank you for reminding me. My earrings are from Amazon: amzn.to/3J53G0B

[@alisameireis3628]

I can hardly believe you actually read my comment AND replied!!!!! Thank you so much!! I have explored the link and am THRILLED!! They are lightweight (which I suspected by seeing how they didn’t pull your ears down!) and even come in COLORS!! I am getting several!!!!!!! So excited!!!!! THANK YOOOOOOU!!!

@@alisameireis3628Haha! Your excitement is infectious. Made me smile. Yes, they are VERY light. You’ll love them too. Enjoy!

Hello I ordered a shower filter earlier today, hard water in TX . I hope that it works out . Awesome video

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

It’s honestly the best thing I can think of. Stopping it at the source. I hope it works out for you too!

[@cheshiredj]

Yes, bad scissors! I threw mine out, they looked terrible. Time for a new pair.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

😅 It’s so easy to miss

[@Meloyadina]

Nice tips, I'm definitely due for a good clarifying shampoo next wash day, my hair has been feeling coarse. Question: do you think a clay wash with ACV is good for clarifying?

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I’ve never tried it, but I love ACV In general. My hair always feels soft when I do rinses with it. I’ve only done a clay mask. ACV is pretty strong so I wouldn’t be surprised if it clarifies. I’d have to research. I hope it works out for you!

[@brittanynichol1111]

The slightly hard and moderately hard ranges on the chart are the same.

[@jeanninegorden8142]

Kazmalaje is pronounced like Cosmology. I was going to mention this brand for seamless products. Glad u mentioned it! I love it! Especially the detangling brush and the comb. The pick is meh.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Thank you!!

The detangling brush is pronounced cosmology 4:30. The company uses the phonetic spelling as its name - käzˈmäləjē ⬅️ phonetic spelling.

Thank you! I’ll never get it wrong again. Very helpful ❤
