HOW TO REPAIR EXTREMELY DAMAGED GUMMY HAIR THAT'S FALLING OUT | PRO HAIRSTYLIST ADVICE

[@kathrynluiz5311]

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT advice SAM! You nailed it perfectly and telling the advice in a straightforward, no nonsense, speaking to the average Joe, what, how, and not to do. It is imperative to do this, exactly. I’m a hairstylist, 20 plus years and have seen major catastrophes from clients wanting to change from dark, to blond, to red, to blond. To this day, just thinking about them, make me sweat lol.

[@angelspace26]

Olaplex has always been my wholly grail product. I have curly highlighted hair and straightened my hair for 5 years until decided to go back to my curls, now two years later with the help of Olaplex I’m loving my curls but curly hair is much more difficult to take care off than straight hair. So I use all the olaplex products and the treatments every other week and my hair loves it!! But like you said it takes time and patience no heat and no flat iron. 😊

[@akeratinea9984]

Seriously man thank you for existing you explain things in a way that I can understand and I’m so glad that I found your channel. Keep doing amazing work. ❤❤❤

[@nicolereed9319]

Your hair tutorials are seriously next level. Your give such sound advice that is so easy to understand/follow. As a trained professional it is often hard to break things down for a lay person….you do that perfectly! Gold star for you, Sam Vay 🌟

[@kevinlamartina8208]

Really good Advice with the Olaplex!!! BTW… Your skin looks Amazing! 👍😊⭐️

[@amandavicente7067]

Your hair ALWAYS looks beautiful.. I love it that dark 💕.

[@lynnepaquette4124]

Thank you. I been freaking out. I kept dying my hair and it's been falling out in chunks and completely fried. I used to have very thick hair-not anymore. I was about to shave my head but was hoping to save the rest of my hair. I appreciate this so much. I'm ordering this product.

[@jonellekatene3703]

I like the redken acidic bonding treatment better than the olapex no.3

[@laurac4562]

I have Olaplex 2 for professional use, I use it ever other week (alternate with K18)to my bleached but not seriously damaged hair. Moisture mask after. Leave in conditioner and lightly oil the ends. My hair looks and feels awesome!

[@serenitybuie2993]

Girl THANK YOU!!!! You definitely saved the few strands I have left 😂 my hair has been feeling amazing. Just need to get my trim.

[@julescote2201]

coming across this video right after I leave the salon & she fried the top half of my hair & tried to tell me it was normal. Thank you for the information

[@NativeViva1]

I used to have dead split ends & I never took care of my hair. I bit the bullet & shave my hair now after 2 years it’s growing healthier now I give it TLC

[@styledbysamvay]

That's the best way to hit restart! I love women with shaved heads, I'm sure it looked beautiful and so badass on you!

[@maroneeyes3752]

Oh no, I could never shave my hair. I felt that one time but I managed to save it

[@Pallavi-Yoganand]

Excellent explanation and no nonsense talks.

[@saknardiee]

Would you recommend using olaplex nr 6 in a case like this? And can it be used instead of nr 3 or should they be used together? Thanks for a good video ☺️

[@NJgirlMel]

My 18 year old daughter needs to do this. This child 🤦‍♀️. First off she had black box dye…. And I paid close to $700 for 2 separate color correction sessions cause she wanted to go blonde. So for her senior pics…. The girl did an amazing job…. She got her BLONDE… perfect!! That was August. Well it’s December - and can I tell u this kid box dyed it brown again…. 😢 I’m done lol…. She’s killin me… she’s killin me … she’s killin my wallet 😂🤣. Never again until she has her own $ will I get her hair done professionally- she can’t keep her mind straight as to what she wants

[@styledbysamvay]

Oh no! Sounds like me when I was younger, except I didn't have any money, so I always did it myself at home... hence why I have so much knowledge on this subject lol!! Once she has to pay for it herself and realizes how expensive it truly is to get corrected, it'll probably change her mind.

[@AshleyB-xh1qh]

Funny thing is after going blonde it would've been easy to use toner (demi permanent color) to go brown and it will fade over time and be so much easier and less likely to get damaged when she inevitably wants to go back blonde. That's the beauty of going to a professional.

[@morganveller2114]

Hi! I used to be exactly like your daughter when I was her age, i box dyed my hair at home all throughout high school and even tried to give myself highlights at home once. My hair has been almost every color you can think of, blonde, ginger, bright red, various shades of brown and black; and sometimes 2 or 3 of those colors at once 😅😂 when I tell you the amount of stress I put on my poor mother when I would mess up tragically and cry and beg her to get it fixed… that woman is truly a saint. But she was the same as you. Once I turned 18 she was was like “you’re old enough to learn from your mistakes and try and fix them yourself” and let me tell you… we do learn. I promise it won’t be forever 😂

[@aep111]

I remember when my mom told me she was done paying for my hair services 🤦🏼‍♀️ So funny looking back, the wrath of a teenage daughter😂. I actually did end up shaving my head!!

[@countrybreezefarms]

This sounds like my daughter 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣

[@underjoyed666]

I think I completely damaged my hair after getting it bleached and dyed so thank you! I will be buying Olaplex and I’ll update whoever wants to know if it’s fixed or not 😭

How is your hair doing Now?!?

[@kerrysearl4230]

@@lovelite6737 it’s awful but I have enough to make it look okay if I wear it up 🤦🏻‍♀️ thankfully I only destroyed the back left quarter of my hair, that’s resulted very short layers and some very straggly ends.. my fringe is good just needed a trim and the rest is dry but still hanging on 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I think I have Olaplex to thank for that!.. and only washing my hair once a week using their system from number 0 up to the mask and serum

[@Paulina_Chin]

The lighting and everything in this video looks great! Olaplex saved my hair when it was gummy after going platinum… I still had a chemical haircut, but I was able to cut it to around the shoulders and save what hair was left.

[@styledbysamvay]

Amen!! Same here! Ahhh the chemical cut lol! That used to be my signature look hahaha, but I haven't had one of those in a while, thank god.

[@laurababyy]

Yesss sam!!! Love this advice as been there many of times 😂❤❤❤❤

[@vondabryant3842]

I would love to have u work on my natural curly hair. Wish you would do a video on natural curly hair and products

[@ThistleAndThorn]

I feel so heartbroken because I got my hair done professionally done and my hair is gummy when wet and I have my graduation coming up so soon. I need to shower and style it but now I feel that I can’t because it’s so fragile. I am so crushed. I have curly hair and my curls are completely gone. I feel so sad you guys I don’t know what to do now. I was so excited to get it done and now I regret everything. My hair looks so frizzy I don’t know what to do for graduation now

[@lorihill9129]

I feel the same. I showed my girl many pictures. She bleached it very light. I didn’t even know she was bleaching!! Now it is thinner, gummy when wet, and frizzy when dry. Maybe we’ll find an answer!

[@lovelite6737]

If Olaplex doesn’t work, try K18

[@Nenebebe23]

I hope this got better for you. I’m going through this right now and I’m heart broken. I was trying to go back to my natural color so I can continue to grow my hair thick and healthy but I ruined my hair with bleach. I’ve done this before but I haven’t had any issues like this ever. I got it cut today and the stylist was so degrading and made me feel so stupid as if me feeling bad about myself and self conscious wasn’t bad enough. She told me to buy a hat or shave it completely off which isn’t an option for me. Did you fix it at all? my hair is breaking off so short and my self esteem is destroyed:(

[@ginny7928]

Hi Sam I loved this video it was to much good information for us who color hair thanks.

You’re sooo pretty!! My hair is finally long but it’s beyond dead 😭 I’m gonna follow your hair plan suggested here. Thank you 💕

[@brendahidalgo4711]

Have U tryed K18???

[@salinas_956]

My hair is stretchy and I orded k18... didn't do anything... smells good tho

[@jordyntodd3611]

Girl I needed this in 2015 when I was in cosmetology school ( I was a nail tech only) 😢😂 girl FRIED my hair off all at the top where I part my hair & the bottom was like gum 😅 I didn’t learn though & I continued to fry my hair at home until about a year ago. 😂😂 I just chop it off every single time. I literally will never learn.

[@Ebert.nevaeh]

I recently got a color correction, and went from black box dye to blonde 😭😂 let just say my hair is definitely a bit compromised. When its dry its normal, but when its wet its scary...like its very stretchy and wants to snap off. And my stylist has me doing almost exactly what u said in this video and its definitely helped a lot. I only wash my hair once a week. And before i wash it i use the olaplex #3 treatment and let it sit for at least an hr before washing it out with shampoo and conditioner. And then when i get out i very gently towel dry it and put in the olaplex #6 leave in treatment. But the only thing i do differently from the video is i blow dry it after the treatment. I dont brush it at all while its wet and i really gently blow dry it. My stylist told me by leaving it wet it can be prone to breakage so drying it as soon as possible is better than leaving it wet. Plus it always feels/looks better when blown dried vs leaving it to air dry. But like i said just be super careful when doing so and use low heat :)

[@DeemaElsaadi-lq1nn]

It’s so empowering to see all these comments giving advices. Yesterday I burned off my hair and it’s scary as u mentioned like I don’t know what to do with it. Thank you for mentioning what uve done it’s very helpful ❤I hope it saves my hair

Thank you so much ❤ i had black box dye below shoulder length hair and tonight I completely fried it 😭😭 the bleach was only on for 4 minutes when it got so hot I had to wash it off with half of my hair 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wanted dark copper hair … I filled it with a red wash off and dark brown wash off colour and now I’m just waiting for my sticky awful hair to dry with a glass of wine and I’ll try to salvage as much hair as I can tomorrow 🤷🏻‍♀️😭😭

[@AngelReyes-fu9xv]

I had just bleached my hair today it's a box hair dye it didn't say how much proof the bleach was I looked everywhere and it didn't say anything it said to keep it in my hair for 20 to 30 minutes. I did 20 minutes my hair was still yellow at the root so I kept it in for 25 minutes it was still yellow so I kept it in for the full 30 minutes mind you I just did my roots. I did not do my hands by decided to twist it up my hair up in a bun and put a plastic bag over it I did not know I was not supposed to do this and I start feeling a burning sensation so I hurry up took the bag off I took a shower I noticed my hair was falling out and it wasn't a lot and then I got out the shower I started brushing my hair and the more I brush my hair the more hair fell out my hair is done I've been growing my hair out since 2016 my hair was at the middle of my back and now it's pretty much up to my shoulders I'm very upset and sad I'm definitely going to try this out on my hair if you have any other suggestions that I should do for my hair please let me know thank you for the information on this video it helps out a lot.

[@cochiefemeralds3616]

Back in September, I was bleaching my hair just so I could dye it pink. I left it in for an hour, which was the plan and to wash it out right after the timer went off. My mistake was answering the phone and spending another 30 minutes with the bleach in my hair. The back of my head looks really bad right now, but it is growing back and this time I will turn off my phone next time I do this. I’m not gonna leave it in for an hour anymore.

[@heatherchristine8]

Should I use Olaplex0° with the 3?

[@styledbysamvay]

Not necessary :) The No 3 on its own works!

[@flurryisland6882]

Can i use the olaplex no.8 hair mask instead of the no.3?

[@styledbysamvay]

@@flurryisland6882 no. They are completely different products. The 8 will help with dryness, but it won’t repair damage like the 3 does.

[@flurryisland6882]

@styledbysamvay ahh thank you!

[@lpg8518]

So this is basically a temporary fix for damaged hair? This process is just to keep your long hair glued together until it grows so that you can chop off the ends on a monthly basis. I have used the Redken Acidic Shampoo, Conditioner and leave in treatment, and they work amazingly well, no breakage after using them. They cost the same as Olaplex but you get 10 oz instead of 8 oz.

[@555_Lady_JB]

I was thinking same thing. I did olaplex but after awhile it doesn't work and actually it starts breaking off hair, in my case.

[@luvrgurl]

It‘s totally a temporary fix. Dead hair stays dead... Sadly.... Had to experience the horror myself

[@LadyTimaT]

Trying to do this but sad because my hair is reverse ombre... meaning the damage is at the top and a cut means short hair. 😪

@@gabeuriellopez not really, it’s still on my head lol but the ends and mids are very thinned out and frizzy. I do bonding treatments every wash and a deep condition mask and also do a protein treatment every 4-6 weeks. It’s definitely better than it was before but I think I’ll just have to grow it out and then cut it off. Sadly

[@iolandahope9766]

Hi Sam, I've been meaning to ask this as I see you're super knowledgeable. At the beginning of this year I bleached the underneath of my hair and I did a money piece, in the front. I went to the salon, they were bleached and then the lady didn't tone it, she just applied color to it. After a few weeks I started getting really frizzy and tangled hair at the back of my head (it's only in one place, at the back and like, on the top of my head). Mind you, this side of the hair hasn't been bleached, it's my natural hair. But since I got that hair bleached and blonde I started having this problem. I tried hydrating masks but I still keep having this problem and it's super annoying and it decreases the confidence in myself...Do you perhaps have any tips on what to try? Would olaplex be a good solution for this too? *my hair is short, like yours now, it's wavy, somehow thick, and usually greasy

[@styledbysamvay]

Yes, the Olaplex treatment would be great! I would also get the Olaplex No. 6 leave in conditioner and apply that to the frizzy parts after your hair is dry.

[@iolandahope9766]

@@styledbysamvay so you would recommend the shampoo, conditioner and the leave in conditioner, all three or just the leave in? thank you so much for the recommendations

Can I wear braids after treating hair?

[@styledbysamvay]

Thank you! You can use the Malibu CPR treatment (on Amazon). It’s a clarifying treatment that will help pull SOME of the color out, without bleaching or damaging your hair in any way. After that, continue being really gentle and taking good care of it until it’s healthy enough to color again. You can also wash with a clarifying shampoo on occasion to help the color fade more. But DO NOT bleach it anytime soon 🙏

[@JennyStone]

Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing so much info with us! ♥ Jenny

[@ezgi4652]

olaplex does really work! i asked how i could save my hair a few weeks ago and you recommended no3, my hair was about %60 less stringy after like 2-3 weeks (2-3 washes). unfortunately then i left it in my hotel in a trip so i don't have it now 😅 but thank you for that! it's weird that my hair still kept up the strength since then. i thought it would be back to its original state...

[@styledbysamvay]

Make sure to use a very small amount, rub it together in your hands to get a lather first, and then work it through your hair. If you apply it straight to your hair, it will feel heavy, but that's not the case and it's an amazing product when used correctly! :)
