Love your tip from a previous video about not blow drying your hair in the bathroom where you’ve just showered to avoid the humidity and frizz. Makes so much sense and my hair is less frizzy! 🥰👍🏻

Two or three weeks of training my scalp to get the message… closer to two decades at this point. She’s oily honey, and there’s no getting past washing every other day with the aid of a TONNE of dry shampoo in between 😂

[@jvn]

😂❤️

[@popstar1964]

[@AshleyLindell]

Just a thought! When I use any other shampoo/conditioner: easily I need a wash in a day. I started using Kerastase and oh my god. It’s a week before I need a wash. My natural curls are luscious and I use JVN conditioning mist and Kerastase hair oil to help keep the curls. Once I started using Kerastase it took a few weeks to go from washing every day to not getting greasy at all a week later. I also only use a tiny bit of dry shampoo and only on bangs.

[@hopefulmonsters4407]

I wonder if there's any way to identify or typify this kind of oily scalp. Fine hair? Thin hair? I'd love to know it when I see it.

[@fakeweebgrrl]

Me too, girrrrl!!! I have tried “training” my hair for several years… but I can’t change my genetics!! And my genetics are oily!! As I imagine yours are!!

JVN Hair products are top of the line. I’ve paid 2-3 times more for products that are not nearly as effective. I pretty much use the whole line (not at once) and I have noticed a enormous difference in my hair. If you’re new to the line and you’re not sure what to try I recommend getting Pre-wash scalp oil and the Instant Recovery Serum. Any type of hair can benefit from them and they’re my desert island products. For reference, my hair is thin and quite damaged. #JVNHair4Life #CantStopWontStop #NotPaidAd ❤

[@amandawheeler9397]

I'm just here to say I adore you and thank you for being you! ❤

[@Adrienne557]

For the second question on oily hair, I have to plug JVN products. I use the Leave in Conditioning Mist on the ends after the shower (to trick the scalp into not producing oil to compensate for dry ends). I also rinse with coldish water at the end of the shower. I went from needing to wash every other day to every 4-5 days.

@Jonathan Van Ness! Hi! Any tips for how to get a haircut that suits your face? Thank you for all that you do, you really spread so much joy!

Hi!! I would definitely do consultations with different stylists in your area who can work to find a look that best suits your face. You can check out my hairstylist school video on how to find one right for you!

It can definitely be less damaging for the hair than other treatments that use bleach or strong chemicals to lighten your hair color.

Hi gorgeous! loving the side swept waves (and green color) on you in this video. it's giving old Hollywood but casual. My hair is very similar to yours and I already use and love the jvn shampoo and conditioner and the air dry cream to style it a million ways but in terms of color, it's a level three. I was surprised when you mentioned in an earlier video that your hair is not color treated. What's a very low key and low maintenance way for me to add dimension to my darker hair? also, unrelated, but just listened to an older episode of getting curious with Jonathan van ness podcast where you speak with your mom. so so sweet! love her! and love you!... sorry for writing you an essay...

Hey Jonathan, why does my hair always look unbrushed? It only looks good the first day I wash it lately. I have long wavy hair, but I live in a climate that’s high altitude and really dry and cold. It has hard water, but we have a water softener. I use the scalp oil, I use altitude shampoo and a ouai mask for conditioner on hair and then embody conditioner on roots. I follow up when it’s wet with instant recovery and looks wavy for the first day. Then my waves fall out the following days. I wash it every 5 days. I had amazing waves when I lived in Vancouver of course. I brush twice a day morning and night and sometimes in the afternoon. I manage my split ends. I use shine drops as well. Should I try the strangling mist? It’s so sad. Sometimes using a warm sunflower oil mask on it the day of showering helps a little. It’s fine/medium hair where I can’t use a lot of product. I never use heat on it, only air dry.

[@magdalenawaern8040]

Great video! I work in Southsudan and sometimes have very limited water. If I have to choose between hairmask and conditioner because of lack of water, what should I choose?

[@camkjll5705]

I LOVE these!!! And obsessed with you🥰 I’m non binary (trans) and appreciate you and all the content you put out SO much. I’m now so inspired to take really good care of my hair, thanks to you. It’s really short, and have been bleached blond for the last year. Any tips for growing it out healthy, would you color it or just do a buzz cut and start from scratch? Also, I’ve started T this year and am looking for a product to take extra care to avoid hair loss on my head. Any tips?? Love from Norway!!!!

[@tinabecker1313]

I struggle with putting my hair up to sleep, it ALWAYS makes my blowout crease and curl, which is frustrating after all that work! I’ve been pulling it all up and laying so it stays above my head, but I think I need a bonnet!

[@MrAvidOutdoorsman]

I wash once a month with a gentle moisturizer shampoo, the rest of the time I may wet it once or twice throughout the month, other then that I let it do it's thing and its long and just fine, you only stink if people are around 🤣🤣

[@Skatejock21]

I have a friend who is italian and so his her husband. But their oldest daughter has basically the same hair texture and tighter curls as an african american. It is so thick and curly. They actually looked into their family history and sure enough they have a family member who is african american. The way DNA works, it took many many generations but this white girl has the hair of an African american. Her parents had no idea how to care for it. They went to a salon that specializes in African american hair. I think its very important for any race to understand that sometimes you need to be taught how to care for the hair of your child. You sometimes just do not know what hair type your child has and to accept that you need to be taught. So this white girl was going to african american salons because these hair stylists knew what to do. Her hair had to be washed in the sink at home because it was so thick. The salon helped teach this girl as shes grown up as well how to care for her hair and was so good to this italian family. Lots of respect both ways. Its been an experience to see this girl grow up and learn. Her mom would tell me how race mattered in how these african american stylists were experts in their own culture and were so willingly to help this italian family who came to them for help.

Been watching you for a long time. Thank you for doing this video, it helped me to learn to using scalp oil for my oily hair is good for my hair! To be honest whenever I heard about scalp oil I literally shied away thinkinh it would not be good for my hair. Will definitely see about purchasing some scalp oil (already stopped washing my hair 3 times a week). I have been schooled by wonderful and amazing Jonathan Van Ness and I am mega proud of being your student (even if it's just by watching your videos)! Thank you for being the amazing, talented, beautiful human being that you are and for sharing these lessons with us! 🤗🤗❤❤❤

Can everyone benefit from a scalp scrub treatment at the salon? Or only people with certain scalp conditions?

[@jvn]

I would definitely make sure the scrub is one that has scientific or historical evidence for providing the type of treatment your scalp needs.

I try to sleep with my hair up in a loose bun (like, really really loose), and I wake up with hair that looks like I'm insane 😅😅. Any tips for keeping hair protected at night when you have thin hair strands that tend to crimp easily?

[@danielllllllllle]

JVN trapped in a "pink box"?! 🤣

[@jvn]

Help!!!!!

[@greatpennylane]

JVN! Help!!! I feel like I’m doing everything right to prevent breakage. I only use heat tools like maybe once a month, I use your oils and cream (not excessively), I brush delicately, sleep with a silk bonnet at night and use silk scrunchies. I get a trim every 3 months and I work in surgery and don’t wear a tight cap over my hair. BUT- I have all this breakage up and down my hair. No split ends though! I have a lot of fine hair. Is long hair just not for me? Is it genetics!? I feel like I’m at a loss and my hairstylist didn’t have any recommendations for me and just seemed shocked and disappointed at all the breakage. I love having long hair but I dread trying to style it because it always shows all my breakage. *tear rolls down face* you may never see this comment but any advice or guidance would be so greatly appreciated!

[@heatherkoeppen7876]

I have a question I hope you cover at some point: So I worked for 4 and a half years at a place where I had to wear my hair up under a hat, which meant that I had a pony tail in the same spot on the back of my head for YEARS, and now that spot is thin and I feel like no matter what I do, it isn't growing back as thick as the rest of my hair. I try not to put my hair in any kind of pony tail in that spot, but it's still so thin and sad. Help

[@elizabethonstage]

Dear JVN, (LOVE YOU SO MUCH❤) HOW do I style super long (mid back length) but THIN hair? I am losing my hair and the bottoms lengths of my wavy hair are just a few strands at this point, where the top of my hair is much denser. My hair density is so thin that I can’t even run a comb through the bottom- the teeth are too large, and conditioner sprays go right through the gaps. I can’t even tie it back with a small silk scrunchie and it is too weak to comb when heat styling 😢 I am only 25 with health conditions and don’t know how to style my hair anymore 💔💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🩵🩵🩵

The shine drops are PERFECT for the frizz ESPECIALLY in the South. I can easily go 5 days without washing. Dry shampoo I’m just not sure about because of potential buildup, in case I go another day without washing. Thus far the scalp treatment prior to washing is amazing.

Any tips on dealing with dry scalp? [not dandruff - as far as I can tell it's stress-induced and often worse in the winter climate] I have a rubber scalp massager to use in the shower, but the patches keep coming back!

[@cheekyb71]

He covered that in one of the other hair school videos - pre-wash scalp oil and cutting out sulfates and silicones. I can't afford his products (New Zealand and shipping costs are a nightmare) so I bought the Ordinary's Natural Moisturising Factors + HA - it's a hydrating scalp serum and it has worked for me

[@kimberlee440]

If you have tiny little white "dust" (not flakes) and itching (especially when you're stressed or in winter), you might have what I have, which is seborrheic dermatitis. I was conditioning like crazy because I thought my scalp was dry, and it turns out I actually needed LESS moisture on my scalp. My dermatologist prescribed a ketoconazole shampoo to help dry out my scalp, and it made a huge difference! I have to use a deep conditioner on the rest of my hair because it is very drying, but it really helped get rid of the itching and "dust."
