Thank you.

Cup of tea and a sit down with Craig. Good timing as I really need to give my hair a bit of TLC. Thank you.x

[@theworldofcraig]

Awww, that’s great, I’m glad it came at the right time. I shall join you… 👨🏻🙏🏻🫖

7:03 I’m Amodimethicones biggest fan!! The positive charge in it sticks to more damaged negatively charged areas in your hair so it’s amazing for people like me who use bleach or anyone with damage from heat, colouring, brushing too hard ect which have a broken down f layer (fatty acids on ur hair that are protective and water repellent). Coating the hair in some silicones like this can create a temporary protective shield where those parts of your hair used to be💗

[@theworldofcraig]

It is a great ingredient for sure! So helpful for a lot of folks.

[@ashleyburns2238]

I love your videos so much! Thank you 💖. Definitely going to try The Ordinary Serum that you recommended. My hair is 10 x better since I started taking your advices over the past few months. You are the real deal. So grateful to you. You are a rare gem 💎 xxx

[@theworldofcraig]

Oh Ashley, this is such a lovely comment, I’m so pleased my videos help, it’s fantastic to have your support. 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@ornette7]

So please to have found you. I've wanted a hairdresser that could inform me on hair like Caroline Hirons did for skin care. Seems like you fit the bill perfectly. Thank you

[@theworldofcraig]

As am I, thanks for watching, chuffed I can help.

[@Iris-xf4mb]

I just love your honest and super informative approach on any given subject. So happy to have discovered you and your channel. Thank you so much!

[@theworldofcraig]

What a wonderfully kind comment, thank you. I’m chuffed we found each other, thanks for watching. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

[@Ellie-k3r]

CRAIG you’re my favourite content creator💗💗 I love your videos so much. I spend so much time in boots doing the same thing as you. I’m so passionate about hair care, ingredients and hair itself just like youuu. Keep making videos your personality is so lovely💗

[@theworldofcraig]

Awww, thanks Ellie, that’s so kind and I’m chuffed you’re enjoying my channel. Oh I’m with you on that, I could lose myself for hours in there, ha. 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@zekaay]

I am only in my late 30's (or is that the new mid-life?..according to younger generations), but my hair as well as scalp has become so dry, it loves moisture - mind you it is wavy - and Pantene is the best :) I could not stand he scent of Plantur. For hair density, next to the Ordinary scalp serum you always mention, this also works for me: Elvive Aminexil 1.5% scalp serum - ah you mention it in the video, it keeps the hair in the "growing phase" according to dermatologists. I grew baby hairs with continuous use an the arginin is a peptide that we also use on the face to keep the skin feeling younger - been using it for 6 months now. - It does work. Love these drugstore videos you make, thank you for coming on here and sharing your thoughts :)

[@theworldofcraig]

Hmmm, what do they know?! I’m in my early 50’s, that to me is “midlife”. Aminexil is a proprietary ingredient that has shown great results in clinical trial - but as with pretty much all of them you’re only ever going to get a minimal improvement. You’re most welcome, thanks for watching.

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

Thanks for the video. In the US, L'Oreal has different products in their Elvive line. I have a mask from them and a leave-in conditioner that both have amodimethicone and my hair seems to get on with them very well. Lots of great products in the drugstore these days. In so many cases, the difference between drugstore and high-end hair products seems to come down to marketing and packaging.

[@theworldofcraig]

You’re most welcome. So, the formulas may well exist in the US but they might have different names….there will be very similar skews for sure. And yes, that’s all it comes down to.

[@Tina-ul1iz]

Hey Craig, great informative video as per. Thank you xx 😊

[@theworldofcraig]

You’re most welcome, thanks for watching and for your kindness. 👨🏻🙏🏻♥️

[@missmo3451]

The original herbal essence packaging and art was cool.and trippy.

[@theworldofcraig]

Agreed….and whilst I don’t think the current design is horrible it doesn’t hold up to what else is out there. *In my opinion. Thanks for watching.

[@tulip7424]

Your videos are so thorough, thank you . ❤

[@theworldofcraig]

And thank you, I’m so pleased you’re enjoying them. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

[@haileycooper6252]

I love these videos. So educational. I use the garner hair food mainly as a leave in. I like it

[@theworldofcraig]

Awww, that’s great to hear, thanks for watching. Ooo, I love the formula on that, I bet it’s great as a leave in.

[@supersaabclaire]

Garnier banana hair mask is AMAZING

[@theworldofcraig]

YUM.

[@laur83]

Craig! you look incredible at 52! i’ve never really thought about hair changing with age besides going grey, so i need to bookmark this video for decades to come 😂

[@theworldofcraig]

Awww, that’s very kind, thank you…and that’s a good idea! 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@supersaabclaire]

Morning cuppa after school run and a new Craig video 😊 perfect 😊

[@theworldofcraig]

Wahoo. 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@lesleyelder2826]

This was so helpful thank you, I've been really struggling with my hair even trying natural products. I'm going to order your recommendations ❤

[@theworldofcraig]

Well I’m chuffed it helped. Please let me know how you get on. 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Great content. Thank you❗️

[@theworldofcraig]

Thank you…and thanks for your continued support. 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@rnoor9078]

Brilliant video Craig. i love how thorough & informative you are. I was planning on trying that new nioxin line but now i don't think i will. I think I'm going to start minoxidil because my hairline at the front has become very sparse 😢 & moving back

[@theworldofcraig]

Thank you and thanks for watching. I would give it a go, it has a lot of data and research behind it. Let me know how it goes.

[@TLTyler]

Craig, I love your videos. i am naturally level 4ish with 15% scattered gray. The gray is not flattering so I dyed my hair blonde level 9/10. I cannot seem to find the right tone that complements my complexion. I've tried those online apps that allow you to try different colors but they seem 'distorted' from reality. What is your advice? Thank you for these fab videos.

[@theworldofcraig]

Awww, that’s great, thanks for letting me know and for watching. That’s a tricky one to help with remotely…but stay tuned, there’s something that’ll help coming in a few weeks!

[@supersaabclaire]

I'm sharing your channel to my fellow level 2 hair students 😊

[@theworldofcraig]

That’s great, thank you 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

[@notaclue822]

Hi Craig, Thanks for the great video. Have you heard anything about castor oil helping with hair growth?)

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi there, thank you…and thanks for watching. I’m afraid it’s a bit of a “myth” that castor oil aids hair growth. It will give it “slip” and manageability but it won’t stimulate growth.

[@debpalm8667]

Boots seems reasonably priced compared to U.S. drug stores. Not a fan of strong fragrance but cucumber sounds interesting.

[@theworldofcraig]

I think it’s pretty comparable, most brands price adjust from country to country…and there are always special offers.

[@ABHI-cv2nu]

Please make a playlist for beginners hair color understanding how it works

[@theworldofcraig]

All my content is made for all levels - a good starting point is the “Hair colour theory” playlist

[@DennisDimovski]

Hey Craig I actually don't mind the Herbal essences I use the classics rose hip one sometimes it smells so good but wouldn't use it too often once in a while it's nice

[@theworldofcraig]

If it works for you that’s great! It was more a comment on the packaging more than anything else. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@BM-hy4lu]

Thank you so much, I love your videos. I have fine hair that's quite thick but fine. Iit is coloured I colour myself with salon dye products but it's become a bit dry. I want to help the dryness without being heavy. Can you suggest this please? Thanks:-)

[@theworldofcraig]

You’re most welcome, thanks for watching. With a lot of conditioners and treatments it really comes down to texture and often the best way to see is to try something. It’s not from the drug store but I would recommend the Acidic Colour Gloss leave in spray conditioner, it’s lightweight but makes the hair feel great…and super shiny. There a video here on my channel. Failing that, the Pantene mask in the video has a great ingredients list - just use less and keep it away from your roots.

[@lesleyelder2826]

I would love if you did products for fine hair as I struggle getting the right items 🙈❤

[@theworldofcraig]

Lots of my shop up videos contain products for fine hair but I do have a designated video on my list. Thanks for watching 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@lesleyelder2826]

@theworldofcraig thank you I'll go and look

[@supersaabclaire]

Craig, forgive me if you already have a video on this, but, I wondered about what's the best option to help older men's hair and scalp, for example, my hubby is 43, and he does suffer from dry skin on the scalp, this is especially noticeable when he shaves his hair (no2, no1 all over), looks like eczema to me, but I just wondered what you're advice would be xx Thanks Craig 😊

[@theworldofcraig]

I would suggest the same products as I would for any sensitive scalp - I love Philip Kingsley. He could also simply use a little moisturiser.

[@kerplunkety]

Does the UK have an store like Sally's, which sells bleach and professional color to the unlicensed?

[@theworldofcraig]

It sure does, Sally’s is in many countries.

[@karencooper3428]

Something on pantene, dove and loreal products irritates my scalp, or has in the past, no other products do

[@theworldofcraig]

It could be the fragrance…but then anyone can react to anything in a product.

[@claireMiaminails]

exactly what i ll need turning 47 in 2 months 🙈

[@theworldofcraig]

Great! And GO YOU. 👨🏻🙏🏻✨

[@Shwinakks]

Hi Craig, Could you help me out, please? I was brassy, and I followed your 08N Mojave + 8vb tutorial, but my hair now has exactly the same color as your mane-thank you so much for the tips! The issue I have now is with my extensions, which are blonde and a very cool brown, just like your wig. I'd like to dye them to match the color of my own hair. Which EQ shade should I use? Please

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi there, so glad the formula was helpful, thanks for watching. I’m afraid it’s impossible for me answer that remotely, there’s just so much to it….and extensions can vary so much in how they take colour. The videos in my toning playlist should be helpful.

[@Shwinakks]

@@theworldofcraig Ok, thank you so much for your response! I'm going to watch the toning video again! It would be great if you could make a video on how to go from blonde to honey bronde. My extensions are natural, and they take color really well. I tried the 08N + 6wg, but it didn’t give me the same color as my hair. Keep up the great work, you've really given me an exceptional color. I hope you reach a million subscribers one day! Sending you lots of love.

[@ariannabarbero96]

Hi! What do yo think about Keratin treatment on 3B 3C hair? I'm so tired to take time on it..

[@theworldofcraig]

Hi! I love keratin treatments on most types of hair/curl/texture….if they aren’t over done.

[@Renee_egan]

I love love love the inkey lists SA scalp solution! I wish it came stronger (I thought it was 4% but its possible the formulas could be ever so slightly different for different countries based on ingredient availability- lack of some other ingredient mens they add more of another, I know paulas choice can't sell their 9% SA solution in Canada but they're selling no problem 20 minutes down the road from me on the other side (US side) of [Niagara ] Falls, yes I may be fully of smuggling it back home😂 shhhh! Don't tell anyone tho) I use the inky list before I get in the shower, sometimes I've even fallen asleep before I had the chance to shower, but I'll leave it 10-30min or so, depends on how much time u have, makes a huge difference in how long I can go between showers/ hair washes #greasygirl

[@theworldofcraig]

Wahoo! Thanks for your insight. I have to buy some.

[@cici2562]

Hi Craig. I have a few questions and a few requests for upcoming videos. Firstly, I have low blood pressure and am wondering if that conditioner you showed would be safe for someone like me. I sure do need it as my hair is extremely dry and damaged from high heat combined with an underactive thyroid. Second, if it IS safe to use, do you know if it’s available in the U.S.? Thanks for any anticipated help in that. And now for suggestions for videos. You told us many ingredients touted for creating hair growth, but which actually don’t. Any that do? Anywhere? That would make a great video where I’m sure lots of us would hang on every word. And another video request that might not be so popular, but I’d sure love it. There are many products both natural and in shampoos that claim to lighten hair. Mine’s so damaged that there’s no way in he🏒🏒 I could ever apply bleach or high lift color. I made the mistake of trying the latter last year and watched my suddenly-too-platinum hair break off to one inch in some places. But I’m wondering if you would consider covering things like chamomile, lemons and so-called lightening shampoos. That would be a fascinating watch! Thanks for any consideration of these ideas and please keep these videos coming! You are so comforting and fun to watch. P.S. We have blaring music from the eighties in stores in America, too. Was surprised to see (okay, hear) that they also do this in the UK!!!🇬🇧

[@theworldofcraig]

It should be safe to use but I would always recommend checking with your Dr - I have no medical experience. I would suggest searching for it on the internet and if you can’t find it in your country it might have a different name. I do have a recent video on my preferred products and devices for helping hair density - I don’t believe there is anything that “makes hair grow” but we can support its cycles. I’m afraid I don’t care for any lightening shampoos as they can be just as damaging as hair colour and the results are not consistent. Thanks for watching and for your kind words, it’s great to have you following along. 👨🏻🙏🏻💯

[@cici2562]

@@theworldofcraig thanks for your response. I’ll look up the hair density video. I had no idea that hair lightening shampoos were damaging- thank you for that info!!!

[@markblack9801]

Castor oil lifts color. Anything with castor oil will slowly remove hair dye, more so with demi and semi.

[@theworldofcraig]

Not really - the process of washing it out will over time but it’s the hair colour has an oxidant deposit the lift would be incredibly minimal…and be down to the shampooing, not the oil. Thanks for watching.

[@Returnofthemac585]

What would be good for actual hair growth?

[@theworldofcraig]

That’s a big question and one that’s different for everyone - nothing that’s sold in the drug store is going to make hair grow faster as such.

[@Returnofthemac585]

Ok thank you Craig ❤

[@justmeiam4996]

Biggest contributor to hair growth is healthy diet and than clean scalp(professional lines are quite usually too gentle for my oily scalp).I'm using almost everything drugstore (except for hair oil, when I finish this one I'm going for drugstore version)and my hair has never been more healthy (even though I'm coloring and heat styling it and swimming in the sea)and I'm in my 40's.

[@theworldofcraig]

@@justmeiam4996 A varied, healthy diet will always be a big factor in hair growth, products not so much, they always have more of a cosmetic effect. Good scalp health is great but there isn’t a lot of clinical data to suggest it makes hair grow. Thanks for watching.

[@justmeiam4996]

​@@theworldofcraigwell couple of years ago I experienced heavy hair loos and scalp issues only bc I used no SLS shampoo's and my hair roots were simply clogged and my hair didn't really grew.The difference is quite big now. My mom love the Plantur 39 shampoo she says that it helps with preserving her hair- the coffein is supposed to "wake up" the root's 🤷🏻‍♀️I personally don't like it bc it's ridiculously drying but she's got short hair and it gives her volume

[@karencooper3428]

If 52 is midlife you're planning to be at least 104 before you pop off. I'm 55, and I don't know 110?🤔

[@theworldofcraig]

As I mention in the video, I’m not setting the parameters of what “midlife” are, simply using the term used in popular culture.
