[@adeolasreads]

pretty PRETTY please can you consider doing a video on whether oils are good for your scalp or not? Some people say it clogs your hair follicle, some people say it stimulates growth - I don't know what to believe anymore but I only trust your opinion on this lol. love u and your content

[@danielled6535]

I second this!!! there’s so much conflicting information

[@ileanasantamaria2364]

Yeeeeeah this seems to be the controversy/hot topic du jour...

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

Yeah, I agree. It seems I looked away for one second and came back to oils/butters being cancelled so it might be interesting to do a video to talk through the different viewpoints and research around this.

[@ileanasantamaria2364]

I’m currently in highschool so I can’t afford to get a silk pillow case, but I did get a satin pillow case. This combined with a satin bonnet has made a very big difference on my hair and the longevity of the definition of my hair. I really can’t go back now😭🤚

Hello! I am a 18 year old black female Highschool student, I have dreams to go to medical school and would love to have you as a mentor !!! I look up to you and your videos for months now and I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try!!! ❤️

[@bonniedeveve]

Whoa! Now this is what I’ve always wanted to know! To add heat or not when deep conditioning. Excellent explanation! As a hairstylist of 23 years, I love to know the science behind it all. Thank you and love your videos! 💕

[@marleyhill34]

It depends on the hair type. I go to an Aveda salon that has mainly clients with type 1 or type 2 hair and they hardly ever use heat during deep conditioning. My stylist improvises by wrapping my Afro 4c hair in a hot towel or plastic wrap under the dryer for 10 minutes with the deep conditioner. My trichologists specialise in Afro, curly, coily, kinky and type 4 hair and they use a hooded steamer for 10 minutes for the deep conditioner and also for 10 minutes for the scalp treatment, detangler and leave-in conditioner. I thought they taught your science at beauty school?

[@dollyrevenge98]

This whole look is giving me rich auntie vibes, love the turban . I don't have any of these products mentioned but I'm definitely convinced to invest.

[@marleyhill34]

That's why I wear scarves twisted into turbans, gele, headwraps. I think it makes me look regal and have gravitas. Just walking around pretending I'm Queen Rania of Jordan or Queen Amina of Zaria. Lol!

[@DeLiteFullyFun]

Electric caps please!!!!

[@baker1007]

Welcome back!!! I noticed waaaay less friction when I switched to a silk pillowcase a few months ago. I also started sleeping with my hair in loose buns, braids, etc and that has helped, too. But fr when I added a satin-lined bonnet a few weeks ago: GAME CHANGER. I don’t care that I look like a grandma... my butt-length hair is so much easier to manage now! I’ve been debating on getting a flaxseed conditioning cap and you totally convinced me! Thanks, Fops!!

[@Levi-dz5me]

Can you do a video about your journey as a trichologist. Your knowledge is amazing and you break things down so clearly. You make science fun for me 🥰😊

[@auntielu4394]

Girl I relax my hair and and I waited tooo long (like 4 months) for a touch up so I now have 4 inches of new growth and when I’m in this stage my hair goes into ‘fcuk you’ mode and on wash day it gets super matted and detangled and no matter how much conditioner or detangler product I put on it, it takes HOURS to detangle. Right now I have Hask Afghan oil deep conditioner slathered on my shampooed and conditioned hair with a plastic cap on. It’s really sad how many products I have bought that don’t work. Thank you so much for explaining how all these ingredients work, you are doing God’s work. ❤️

[@JermaineAuNatural]

@@marleyhill34 a hooded dryer

[@marleyhill34]

@@JermaineAuNatural I find them a bit too hot but that was about a decade ago so maybe the new ones have a cooler setting. I would only stay under the dryer for 15 minutes maximum because my hair is very fragile, high porosity and my scalp is sensitive. I can tolerate the gentler heat from the conditioning cap for 30 minutes.

[@JermaineAuNatural]

@@marleyhill34 The one that I use has multiple settings and the warm is just warm enough but there is a cool option too. I want a heat cap but I’m picky lol I want it to be from a black owned company and I want the print to be the Marvel character Storm lol until then under my dryer I’ll sit 🤣😝

[@TheRacqgrl769]

My microwaveable heat cap just died today. I must get another. It was only the fourth time I used it. I love silk and have several scarves that I wear on my head, usually as headwraps. Thank you for another great, informative video. And I loooooooved that sleep cap on you. It is very chic and you look like you're ready for a night on the town.

[@marleyhill34]

I went back to my electrical heat cap for this reason. I deep condition my hair every week. I was too much for the poor microwaveable cap. The electrical one is going strong for 4 years now.

[@Yvonne44.]

Glad you're back, I learn so much from your videos. I have a mulberry silk scarf that I put on straight after moisturising my hair. It has definitely helped me retain more moisture and my hair is much smoother. Most days I keep the scarf on all day to stop myself from touching my hair unnecessarily.

[@marleyhill34]

Yup I keep my scarf on all day if I'm not going out out. In fact I keep my hair wrapped most of the time because it is so fragile. I cannot style it daily and leaving it in an afro dries it out and makes it exposed to sun damage as I learnt on my last trip to Sicily when I was at the beach without a head scarf or hat swimming.

[@lilliegreenlaw]

Lol I recently bought a silk blouse the exact same shade as your sleep cap! I loved the material so much I had to hold myself from buying silk everything!! Including silk bedsheets. A dermatologist actually told me that it's good for dry and sensitive skin like mine. So I guess I'll be getting Great skin + nice hair + pretty pastel colors (my fav) + a lovely texture + good temperature regulation during sleep This will be the most convenient thing to splurge on for myself haha.

If you could do just one video on ingredients to look for in products for relaxed hair it would be so helpful. Thank you for giving us so much information. ❤️

[@annemarie3593]

Welcome back on KZbin. I miss your videos so much. For heat cap, I have one but I think this item made my hair be a high porosity, it was hooded dryer cap. Therefore I am no longer using it. With high porosity hair, you do not need heat, you just need to let products sinks into your hair shaft.

[@marleyhill34]

A hooded drier cap is too hot and too direct for deep conditioner adsorption. it needs to be a gentle diffused heat. Not the heat you would use to roller set someone's hair.

[@barrybones2702]

I hope I didn't sound rude in this question...? So yeah this is my question =I dont know what to do with my hair, its wavy, frizzy, and dark blonde... just a little breeze outside and I look like I've been through a hurricane. I did bleach my hair but that was 5 years ago, it's grown out and I cut it off, so I would consider it not bleached, never touched with color. I use a mask every second to third shower ( Kerastase nutritive masque), leave in ( nutritive masque magistral) and shampoo and conditioner( sometimes from kerastase resistance or Balea oil repaire intensive). I only use cotton t shirts to damply dry my hair and I wash my hair twice a week, I have a lot of split ends and the worst part is my lower hair section near the neck its frizzy kind of curly and split ends all over the place. It's gotten more tangled, I put my hair in a low bun every night with a silk hair tie. I really dont wanna hear it anymore "oh this conditioner from Loreal is great dedede its gonna change your hair- just shower shorter-you shower to often- maybe use this its so great. I want some decent answers since my hair stylist clearly isn't helping...?
