I mentioned the strong possibility of hard water being the cause of her frizz last year but people saying she knew it wasn't that. Seems not. Sun damage can also cause a lot of cuticle damage and frizzing, it doesn't have to be from hair dryers or heat tools. That's why sunscreen for hair is so important in Summer.

The ends of your hair have been about 4 years in your head, so if you sent the strands a year ago those ends are about 5 to 6 years old. It’s crazy how long our hair has been with us, maybe that gives you a better idea of how many or little times you used heat on it!

[@jwgaia]

How long had you not been using heat on your hair for before sending the strands? It could be that the ends are just the last of the hair that was there when you used heat last. I’ve not used heat in about 3 years but my ends are still quite damaged from when I did!

Could also likely be sun damage if she didn't protect it during Summer months. My ends get very dry, damaged and sun bleached if I don't protect them.

[@G625-s1c]

the ends are always going to be more porous than the roots, it’s completely normal because they get less of the protective oils, have been outside the scalp for longest, and accumulate wear and tear from daily living even if a person does everything in the book to protect their hair. the more times your hair goes from dry to wet to dry again, the more the porosity will be impacted.

[@Carla-watches]

Do not forget that you did a chemical procedure to straighten your hair so it's normal that the ends you didn't cut off show damage. I always suspected the only way to get your hair back was by chopping off the chemically treated part but you never wanted to do that Edit: guys, I'm not trying to attack Isabella at all, it is completely understandable that she didn't want to trim that much because she never liked to have her hair short like she said; what I'm trying to say is that it's normal they found her ends damaged while newer hair was much healthier. That damage can't be completely reversed

actually, it's not about the amount of acv, it's all about your water.the only way to know how much to use is by using pH strips for example, to check the pH of your rinse. i don't remember but it should be acidic at like 4 or 5, to nicely close the cuticle.

[@JBO2493]

This is so true. It also helps protect the acid mantle on the scalp 👌

[@imawakemymindisalive13]

water and humidity cause worse damage than heat. with cgm you constantly rewet your hair, which is way more damaging than using heat, but it does the same thing to the cuticle. they probably assumed it was heat because most girls use a ton of heat, but water is really bad too.

[@marianne8352]

In terms of the Joico shampoo, that particular silicone is water soluble, which means it doesn’t cause any build-up at all - the reason silicones cause build up normally is that they aren’t easily soluble, and require a strong surfactant to remove. It’s used in a shampoo like this because it keeps your hair from becoming so tangled that you can comb through it after stripping off all the slippery things that are normally left behind on your hair.

[@chelseahalliwell9533]

I saw that too, but I think (from how I read it) it mostly applies to individuals with insanely thick hair or curly hair who’s hair takes all day to dry. I have very thin hair and mine will dry within 2 hours, so then it’s beneficial to hair dry.

[@personmcdudeguy]

@@chelseahalliwell9533 The study says right there it was performed on a straight hair sample.

[@GraceMariex3]

I think really depends on the porosity and density of your hair. High porosity and dense hair may not air dry as well causing your hair to be wet for a long period of time which can lead to fungus growing in your scalp (we all have fungus on our scalp but too much causes scalp issues). When I air dry, I still try to move my head around or I will air dry for an hour and then go in with the diffuser. Also going outside with wet hair in cold weather is definitely a no no. It causes the water in our hair to freeze and expand which can lead to breakage. It’s not necessarily more damaging, just in different ways

[@kokko7840]

What do you clarify with

[@theOGLC]

I really think you have some kind of thing going on with your hormones. The fact that your hair started turning wavy at 21 out of nowhere (Most people start getting wavy hair through puberty or pregnancy if they didn't have it already). Then also your hair appeared 'heat damaged' even though it's not. Your hormones can damage your hair or make it appear damaged. Also, all the frizz and dryness you are talking about that can't seem to be solved by products alone. I have issues with hormones myself (I've been diagnosed as well) and some of these are signs, in my opinion, that your hormones could be affecting your hair. Especially the one about your hair going wavy at 21. Hair texture changes are usually caused by hormone changes.

Ur hair looks fab today! Regarding damage from styling your hair. Some people claim that constant air drying of ur curls can damage them too. Maybe hover diffusing on a medium heat setting would have been a gentler option. Manes by Mell has loads of advice on this. Also brushing amd such can cause damage too. The build up they mentioned could have been from general hard UK water and can explain why u did not get the desired results with the curly girl method. Maybe adapting it to ur hairs needs would have worked well. U seem to be doing good now :D Regarding heat damage: this would be the tip of ur hair so the damage of heat would be from many years ago and it has grown out over time. The few years of not using heat would not show at ur tips. They might show now though. It would be interesting to see what results u would get now. Cause ur curly girl efforts would likely only show now.

Chelating is pronounced "KEY-late-ing" and I look forward to the video about it probably coming up! Also I liked the eye look today, in closeup it looks very painterly and artistic. As far as hair, the soft ringlets and waves are lovely on you! (Also I don't want you to take this as criticism but I know I would want someone to tell me if it was me. If you get any more lip filler you are probably going to get the "mustache shadow" effect where your top lip border casts a shadow behind it and leaves perma-darkness on the top lip. It's super common and the only way to fix it is let the lips go down. I can see the very slight beginnings in you now so if you go any bigger I think it will be obvious. FWIW I don't think you need the filler AT ALL, you have a natural youthfulness and cuteness that doesn't require full lips. I watched your video about it and agree with a lot of your points and it's 100% your money, your body, your choice. I just wanted to warn you that I think that top lip has gone as far as it should go because sometimes it can be hard to get that perspective for yourself.)

[@circehelen]

3:55 Speaking as a curly girl, it is definitely possible that your hair was damaged by the diffuser. I started air-drying for the same reason; I thought I was so clever for never using straighteners or anything like that, but I still had these horribly dry, split ends that I had to trim regularly even though I was "only" using a diffuser, which I thought was necessary for curly hair. FYI, I was using heat protectant. Fast forward to after my last trim (September 2023, I think?), I stopped using any heat (and just finger-combed, but that's not that significant) and voila, no dry, split ends.

[@marianne8352]

It can be avoided but using products properly. Like if you shampoo, you should condition do lower the pH of your hair. Also, chemical processes like lightener, perms, and relaxers can increase the pH. Whenever the pH increases it swells and opens the cuticle, which is damaging. Also a lot of the time it’s a combination. Like not using a heat protectant ( lowers pH of hair strand ) before heating tools.

I believe the hair can be maintained in good condition without trimming. Because. In India, where I belong, in Sikh religion, they don’t cut there hair, they have lots of healthy fats in there diet of course. Mainly ghee. It’s a balanced nutrition all your life, that effects your hair. Like eating your green, fats, carbs. Everything. But as pure as possible. It’s just like your house plant, it blooms after years of care. I always had hair below my hip. Always cut it above my neck out of frustration of not being able to handle it. I can relate to you in the video when it comes to hair ends. I have extremely oily scalp, I don’t think anyone has more oily than mine. But my ends are like yours, sometimes. A blend of coconut oil(virgin), castor oil(ayurvedic or pure), and kesh king(an Indian brand) really helps. Castor oil gives my ends the moisture it ends. I m not a sponsor of kesh king, but have been using it for 10+ years. And can gladly say, it does help. It has oil, shampoo, and capsules. U can use all of u like. Using oil and shampoo together, gives your hair such a beautiful shine. I always get complimented for my hair. So just helping you all. Do try.

And to add my hair is a virgin hair. I have had only a few hair spas, occasional hair straightening and many blow dryings. I would love if anyone can share how they get rid of there flat hair. Because no matter how nice and healthy my hair is. It is always flat. It’s annoying really.

My hair has changed over the years. I put it down to hormones and stress. When I had a child, I lost a lot of hair, and ever after my hair was finer (each strand) as well as less dense (I no longer broke elastics due to how thick my pony tail was). During a period of bereavement after a death of a loved one, I started going gray, and some hair fell out. When it grew back, it was wavier. It's not changed for the last 15 years, so I think this is how it will be till I go completely gray. Gray is coarser. I think you do have wavy hair (2b, I think), and it's a matter of genetics how long and how fast your hair will grow. I had waist length straight hair for years, but I got tired of it and it's now a long bob.

girl needs lightweight leave-in products to add moisture back into her hair that wont weigh it down after showering, just saying. my hair looks just as dry and frizzy as hers until I use nourishing, light-weight leave in products and then my hair looks glossy and hydrated but not flat and greasy. I have fine hair and lots of it. her hair from her "healthy hair" days was probably really healthy, she just didn't know what healthy products to use to add back moisture into her hair. Leave-ins with nourishing ingredients that don't have heavy oils in the first five ingredients listed are pretty good. Also if you see something that has a watery or milk consistency, thats probably not going to weigh your hair down either. :) And then maybe a small amount of a heavier conditioner to seal in flyaways.

@@narayaniji8699 I live in Australia so I'm not sure what is accessible to you. Giovanni Leave In Treatment is pretty good. :) It's not a cream, it's a water-spray and it's nice and hydrating and because it's water.... it's not going to weigh your hair down unless you overdo it. Essano Leave-in Conditioner is also beautiful. I love how that makes my hair look. There's also Marc Daniels Henna Wax or Intense Chamomile Conditioner which are two very cheap multi-purpose conditioners that make beautiful leave-ins because it's mostly just flower extracts. Sometimes diluting a heavier product can help make it more light-weight so it won't weight down your hair, or even taking a teeny amount of a heavy product, spreading it from palm to fingertip and distributing it through the hair. Shea Moisture has a leave-in milk spray called Coconut Oil Daily Hydration that is still too heavy for my hair but makes it look s good and shiny so I diluted it with water and then it was perfect. I also layer a bunch of light-weight leave ins because sometimes one isn't enough and finish with a teeny bit of a heavier product to seal in frizz. It's also important that you're not already overstripping your hair of it's natural oils, so a gentle cleanser most of the time is important with a clarifying shampoo once in a blue moon to remove buildup. Deep conditioning the hair with animal fats also does wonders for hair shine and in my opinion does a much better job than plant oils like coconut, however you might be a vegan. But animal fats in my experience really do quench thirsty, dry hair. I use ghee, which is a clarified butter. It makes my hair look.... so soft and shiny that sometimes I don't even feel like I need leave-in conditioners.

As a hairstylist, I personally don’t like the joico shampoos especially if you are looking for a clarifying shampoo, I really like the Moroccan oil one!

[@sarahpage2031]

I think the reason they're saying to use the joico, with it having silicone, is to not leave the hair totally stripped and give the hair some protection from wear, tear, and environment damage. FYI not my expert opinion, just seems most likely

[@marypadron6186]

Did you spend a lot of time under the sun? Sunlight causes a lot of heat damage as well☹️

[@LuNa-zw9wu]

omg your hairstyle!!!! :O

[@lisaguggemos7392]

Hey Isabella, love your videos and your eyeliner 😉 Hormone change in the body can also change the texture of hair (best exampleis pregnany). And also your protein intake ist ofcourse important also for your hair. ☺️

[@morgan3993]

I don't know if you are aware but the sun can cause quite serious heat damage, and styling damage can be from brushing ext, but thats unavoidable, hope that helps.

[@Icey_SnowyFlakes]

I love your videos so much Isabella

Girl I was just thinking about you the other day because we have very similar hair types and I have been getting this Colombian treatment for a couple years now called cirugia capilar. It's a smoothing treatment and for me it lasts until I have to touch up my roots so around 6-9 months and it's not nearly as strong and doesn't take out as much volume as keratin. If you live in an urban area I recommend trying to find a group of Colombians on Facebook and posting to ask where they get theirs done (it's very common). I saw you had a bad experience with keratin and so I thought this might actually help you a lot :)

My favorite chelating products are the Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Treatment and Malibu C Hard Water shampoo. Gets the job done 👍🏻

your hair is so cute!! how'd you do it?

[@deersiren]

so excited

[@victoriamunoz2765]

I think it is best to focus on your scalp’s health first

[@jesstel9575]

Hair at the ends tend to dry not only by heating tools but the sun and other factors as well

[@KissAgain]

Can someone help me? My hair are really bad, but long. So...i wanna cut them. But i'm not sure, i LOVE my long hair and it's been a long while since i cut my hair really short (i think 9 years). I'm scared that my hair won't grow that fast... and does cutting really help? My hair are really fuzzy at the end and not really "fluffy" i wanna get more hair, but they're just not growing. I really hope for a answer and help! I wish everyone a wonderful day, thank you for reading and maybe responding!

[@luannconsentino1188]

Once you send the hair sample in what are the steps after that, did you do the questionnaire or the pre analysis consult or are those extra money.

Posted 8 minutes ago? Staying up until 1.30am has its perks 😅

[@brattrox2939]

I'm not sure if you did any of this to your hair, but I think shampooing the ends of your hair instead of just your scalp could probably damage the hair (everyone should only use shampoo on the scalp and remember to condition their ends, and can choose to condition their scslp if they dont naturslly produce much oils). Also possibly brushing the hair too roughly The biggest possibility for the damage on the ends seems like the chemical treatment you did to your hair could be the cause but I feel like that bit has already been cut off. Edit: also someone mentioned hormones. I didn't consider hormones because the hair change immediately followed a chemical treatment to the hair however they were right that you claimed your hair is dry without response to products and maybe it's too damaged to respond to products but maybe it's a hormone imbalance.

[@siastr5324]

Οmg your eyeliner was BOMB

[@Icey_SnowyFlakes]

You inspire me so much

[@chimmylights7323]

You know saaameeeee, lately my hair has been very shaggy like with baby hairs and very idk the word just messy in general, even if I comb it and I don’t really use anything on my hair like heat and other chemicals ☹️

[@DbKimberlykelly]

the sun can also do heat damaged to you hair

[@KatherineRoseArt]

How did you do your eye liner like that?

[@mariajosephinedolanplasket1462]

Have you tried a professional karatin treatment that isn't for straighten your hair

[@kandacehead9544]

She did get one a few years ago that straightened her hair, but it turned out to be bad in the long run. As far as I know, that’s the only keratin treatment she’s ever had.

[@Belle-zq3xc]

My hair seems to be like yours from what I can tell(although mine is dark warm blonde with some red tones in certain lighting) and it's also low porosity for sure, yet I have many fly-aways etc haha I love clarifying and chelating shampoos(made my hair look less red/rusty and dark(!) from the buildup lmao also more smooth, definitely works!) I use sulphates and silicons, chamomile rinses to bring out the blonde and gold and make it silky(my fave 🥰 been using it on and off since I was in elementary school, makes my hair really soft and shiny), a seb derm shampoo and I use heatless styling methods + blow-dryer/diffuser on low if I feel like it, lots of styling products if needed, only brush with my previously washed hands or sometimes a hair brush with flexible bristles afterwards, I rarely have split ends for some reason so my hair really is at its best when using heat and sulphates plus I get to enjoy it ☺️ It's down to my chest but idk how hair care is gonna change when it's even longer, right now I'm focusing on having a really healthy diet, enough water and sleep and all that. The curly girl method gave me seb derm and made me look like a wet dog a year in so I avoid those kinds of products

[@Debble]

My low porosity hair tbh can really feel dry if i use protein more than once every 2 weeks. The acididy of my products and the hardness of my water kill more than heat too

[@Latbirget]

I'm wondering if styling products contribute to damage which could explain why they said your hair was damaged .
