As a so called “4C” curly girl who’s been watching KZbin naturals for over a decade, this is the first channel where the advice has actually yielded good results for me, and my hair type isn’t even represented here. I almost wonder if that’s the benefit? Probably because his hair advice meets the universally vital needs. Not so distracted by textures.

[@TheJoyce306]

That’s because most of our education on natural hair is based off of our individual experiences. Because he’s in a professional space, he’s working with far more textures than most of these KZbinrs do. This isn’t to take away their education but that’s centered on THEIR own experience :)

[@geanieb3670]

UPDATE: For me PERSONALLY. It came out to be a toss up like anything else… but I’ll stay rocking with that olaplex #3. Ultimately it came to a conglomerate of what I’ve learned from all sources over the years. I mean essentially it is pretty similar to the loc method. Over all I’m just done with extensions, weaves, and elaborate braid styles. I know some type 4’s hate to hear it but your hair won’t grow down your butt till you just wear it normal.

As a black woman, let me just say I love your channel! At a point and time I use to think I shouldn’t watch your channel because you never showed my hair type. But then I saw this episode where you said coarse hair and I instantly got that thought out my head. Ever since I began watching your channel and less black women I have seen a different in my hair. I really appreciate you being honest and transparent in a world full of facades. I have been struggling with alopecia and telogen effluvium since 2018. I found your channel in the beginning of 2023 and I haven’t looked back since. What are your thoughts on Aussie leave in? There is a avocado and jojoba oil in it, I find Aussie works for me but I always buy it as a set…thank you for changing my journey.

[@ScottCornwall]

This is excellent advice. I create products and have developed toners for over 10 years. It is really difficult trying to get people to understand the double negative of purple shampoo. In fact, with every brand now bringing out a purple shampoo I don’t think blondes realise some purple shampoos can actually ruin the tonal blonde your colourist created. A lot of purple shampoos are very alkaline so the cuticle raises so the acid Violet 43 can deposit. However, if your colourist has used an oxidation colourant or toner, this alkaline purple shampoo will just pull out all that permanent blonde tone and cause the hair to get more and more yellow. Purple shampoo will be fine on raw bleached hair but on well oxidation toned hair it causes the hair to become brassier which then makes the individual use it more! Drop me a line if you’d like me to explain more. Best Scott

[@kbisamfg]

So then what do you recommend people use to refresh/keep up their toned blonde hair? I’m licensed so I’m able to purchase my normal toners (Redkin shadesEQ) and apply them but for someone who isn’t a licensed cosmetologist, would they have to go to their stylist for just a tone in between bleaching/lightening appointments? Also: Is using only a clear gloss toner (Redkin shades EQ) to brighten/refresh the color a good idea?

[@sesam.koernchen]

I bleach and dye my hair by myself but English is not my first language. How do I know I‘m using an oxidation colourant? I use a 1,9% developer and Wella Koleston as a gloss.

[@robinmagdahlen2721]

I am growing my hair out so have gray/white in parts which I really like. I use the purple shampoo but not often. Since my hair is not treated I am supposing that this is okay and Not harming anything?

Thanks, Chris, I only wished I had seen this video before I amassed my own little stock of hairdressing products.

[@gusmonster59]

This made me laugh. I have always wondered why people use so many products on their hair and on their skin. I read one post where someone was asking about what order they ought to use the 6 - 9 products they use on their skin. I use two things on my hair - shampoo and conditioner (not expensive ones). I don't wash my hair every day, When I do, I wash my scalp with very little shampoo. I use the conditioner from about mid way down to the roots. Whenever I go get a trim, the stylist remarks on how healthy my hair is. I admit I don't do much with my hair - rarely blow dry, no rollers, no hot irons, don't dye it, (love my greys coming in) so that may be part of the reason I don't have damage. I just don't buy into the marketing of the eight millions products you 'have' to have for your hair or skin.

[@JewelsLeigh]

Me too, I don't know what all those other products are supposed to do. And I love my grays!!

[@jasl9987]

My skin and hair are in perfect condition, always have been. Right now I have about 30 different leave in products and 5 different shampoo and conditioners. Additionally I use about 10 different products for my face and rotate days for different things 😉 I absolutely love hair and skincare products. Its a form of self care and it genuinely makes me happy. There's no need to "laugh" at people who enjoy to buy products and use them. Just like I wouldn't laugh at your lack of products.

[@bryzcrochet]

@@jasl9987 that is amazing. I am totally clueless. I shampoo, sometimes condition and dry. For my face I wash it. I use minimal makeup, mascara, light blush and gloss because otherwise I don't know what to do. I am so impressed with people who have a routine and know proper use of the products. My hair ends up in a pony most of the time because it is below my waist, very thick and mostly dry. About 36 years ago was the last time it was shorter than mid back. Lol! You go Girl!!!

[@kara1631]

I had same routine: air dry, simple shampoo, confitioner or mask, sometimes a drop of natural oil, no ironing, no hot hairblow, no styling products, no regular towels, no coloring even if have some gray hair and no and my hair was thinning from ends, just breaking off, always puffy and coarse because naturally they are dry and vawy. So started adding moisture they get limp. And slow growing. Still cannot figure out what should I do with them.

You’re right about the scalp scrub.I had dandruff, and this is what worked: -shampoo time longer ( 2-3 minutes) -shampoo (lather rinse and repeat) if you use a lot of products -comb flakes out with a fine tooth comb before you shower - Nizoral 2X a week until flakes are gone- then once a month. I also like how shiny and bouncy my hair looks after Nizoral. My hairdresser would also point out the dry scalp I had. She tells me that my scalp looks way better. Dry and irritated scalp will deter hair growth imo.

I’ve watched about 15 videos now and in the majority of them you have recommended Olaplex oil. To watch this video and hear you give a super honest, non-supportive review of olaplex with no hesitation was like, “wow 😳” this dude is being real. I have very long fine hair and have caused a lot of damage and loss (unintentionally of course). I also have gone many years without cutting due to religious reasons. … At times I’ve been very discouraged that the hair I have will only get worse and I’m only 40. (Have a lot of years to go still!) I’m ordering the products now and hoping this will save my hair! Thank you for the info I am curious and haven’t heard you talk much about the health effects of some of these products? It’s known that products with fragrance are often hormone disruptors. I’d like to hear your take on that side of beauty products. Thanks again @BlowoutProfessor

[@Theinsomniac826]

I threw my entire Olaplex system in the garage. The products thinned out my hair and broke it off. I follow your advice which is shampoo, condition, add leave in conditioner and a bit of oil to my ends. I leave my hair alone and its super thick. I've had extremely thin hair my entire life so it's nice to see.

[@Aphrodite01]

Olaplex 3 is the only one I use once a month. Unless your hair was damaged you didn’t need to use the entire line.

I only use no. 2 on my dry hair once in a while. Counterproductive sounding, but it works. I put it on before I wash my hair. I leave it on my hair for 20 minutes beforehand. The shampoos were far too rich for me. The less, the better. Couple products I’m loving now: -Bondi Boost Hair Mask -Amika, The Wizard Detangler My hair is also way better because I ditched the flat iron. I truly believe that killed my hair for a long time. That and improper hair extension installations. I wish I could show a before and after. In 2 years, my hair has never looked better, and I’m 43.

[@cindyj5522]

Thank you for this! I have used high end salon products and humble drugstore products. When it comes to shampoo and conditioner, I find that the water in your house has as much to do with the condition of your hair as the product itself along with how you treat it when you style it. Dove super-hydrating products work as well as Pureology and much better than the Moroccan Oil line on my dry, curly, aging hair. Gentle, lukewarm, minimal heat, accounting for moisture needs and regular trims are superior to spending $45 on a bottle of shampoo.

I LOVE Olaplex - my hair is particularly heat damaged and I’m addicted to straightening so I use no.3 several times a week with no.2 (got a bottle from a stylist) on the weekend. Then I use no.9 and a really tiny amount of 6 mixed with a few drops of 7. It took a while to get the “dosage” right - the smallest amount of 6 and 7 is *way* better, the smallest you can get away with. I also shampoo and condition with Milkshake Moisture Plus, which are the best I’ve ever used. The cost of living is biting a bit now so I’ve been buying salon-size bottles as it works out cheaper per ml in the end.

[@tomasgarcia7499]

Bingo about Olaplex. It really is only necessary in low doses. I use No. 5, 6, and 9 and all three are AMAZING (esp. 6, and 9) for my thick, coarse hair. They make it soft/shiny/strong, but I only put a little at a time. Their products last a long time in your hair, even if you go in the shower and get your hair wet. It’s weird because I e-mailed them and asked if I should reapply those three products every day since I get my hair wet every day, and the person who responded was like “Oh yeah, they’re safe to use every day because we use silicones that will wash off with water,” but if you look at the ingredient list 5 & 6 DO have silicones that don’t wash off with just water. I was like why are they saying I can use them everyday then??? When I finally realized that and started using their products solely on the days I wash my hair and then adding a tiny bit to my ends the day after, my hair started looking even better, and it wouldn’t get build up as fast. On the bright side though, Olaplex lasts forever. My first bottle of No. 6 lasted me a year and a half which is amazing.

I own #3 (treatment) and #8 (mask). Once every 4-5 washings, I decide which one my hair needs - treatment plus standard conditioner or a deep mask. I use a small amount, focusing on my ends, and let it sit on my wet hair up to an hour. It works magic. I have no interest in any of the other products.

I want to thank you for giving me what I think of as a miracle. So you understand why, I need to tell you that I am disabled and have a terminal illness. I live on a very tiny income, so I have bought drugstore hair products For at least the last three years. I have been play with itchy dandruff and very dry hair and had no idea why. I knew I couldn’t afford to buy some professional products until after the Christmas season, but I decided to try using your techniques for washing hair and conditioning hair with what I had on hand anyway. I made two changes. I started primarily shampooing my scalp, and I started using a leave in conditioner spray right after showering. Within just three weeks, my itchy scalp and flakes have reduced by about 80%, and my hair feels light and bouncy, not dry and flyaway like it used to be. I can only imagine how much better it will feel and behave when I am able to afford a professional shampoo. For now, I am thrilled to be able to say that I can go five days between washing, And my hair is still comfortable and looks good. This is likely to be my last Christmas with my daughter and grandchildren, and I am so excited that I will be looking nice when they come to visit. It is a Christmas present itself to look good again. 😁

There is a certain kind of person who can use them: they do not excessively style their hair (wears as is or uses physical tools to keep it in place rather styling products) and has dry hair that does not get oily quickly.

EXCELLENT ADVICE

[@delightschwartz2155]

Professor, good morning, I have graying thick wavy hair that was originally strawberry blonde, that I've colored with either henna or store bought color. My troubles were not so much with color, but with finding the right cleansing/conditioning routine. After 50 plus years of struggles with drugstore dandruff shampoos to combat steadily increasing flakes and oil, and conditioners that never quite did what they were touted as doing, I found your videos and they make a lot of sense. I believe the cheap shampoo and conditioners exacerbated the extra oil and scalp flaking, rather than helping. I used plain Castile soap for two weeks when I ran out (I was a long haul truck driver last year and shopping for girl stuff on the road was out of the question timewise!) and the flaking decreased ...looking for more answers, I found your videos. They make a LOT of sense. That said, i bought my first bottle of Olaplex oil and a sample size of the Redken cleansing cream yesterday. Looking forward to trying in a couple days. I have a sampler of the 10+ leave in conditioner and since I either air dry or limit my blow dry with a diffuser, I don't have as much heat damage as I could have. I'm starting out slow. Thank you for sharing your industry knowledge with us! I am curious as to your opinion of color gloss products, I used to get the Schwarzkopf Agora color gloss foam on Amazon and it really seemed to strengthen my hair, and I grew it out almost down to my elbows, but it seems to be gone now. Again, thank you and keep up the good work.

Would you consider doing a video about how to style hair with cowlicks? And especially how to choose hairstyles for specific kinds of cowlicks eg bangs? Thanks so much -your videos and information are SO helpful!

[@beebeeramone4641]

I just let my hair air dry as i live in Arizona. I will go stand out in the heat for a few minutes and my hair dries so quick haha. I could care less about styling all the time. I'd rather have healthy hair

[@irmaradinson2320]

Great tutorial! I have silver natural hair , I really appreciate your explanation of the purple shampoo

[@peppercat8718]

Me too sista

[@user-cu5zb7cs6l]

Absolutely favorite new channel! I wish I had found you years ago! I am revamping the way I do everything and appreciate this so much! Literally never found better hair advice!

[@cherylelinsmith743]

Thank you, I only wash my hair once a week. I use only three Kerastase sulfate free hair products. I use croma absolu shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. Before I blow dry I use Kerastase Resistance Serum Therapiste as leave in to protect hair from heat of blow dryer. Dermatologist on a show said never blow dry soaking wet hair, let it air dry a bit. She also said wash hair once a week. The leave in only goes from mid shaft to ends. I use a Kerastase spray oil to give my hair a shine if needed. Spray a little in hand rub hands together and lightly rub on hair. Make sure to find out from your stylist what is the right shampoo for your hair type. Never rub your hair with a towel, it causes frizz and dryness. Nice to see someone say less is more.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Wow, that was impressive. I’ve subscribed. You actually tell the TRUTH. So impressed. I agreed with every single word gained though unfortunate experiences. I am a woman so I hope I’m not being rude or mean but women are sooo gullible sometimes. I don’t need Kardashian hair, don’t need a celebrity hairdresser, I need truth about the product and I’ll decide if it agrees with my hair.

[@jgoldfarb3]

Won’t be using any of these & wasting 💵 question my hair is a dried out mess! Afraid to try Olaplex 3 at this point, want to order Moroccanoil Light mask & Pureology Multi-Tasking Spray, I trust you completely & can’t wait to see my hair smooth & shiny again.

[@BlowoutProfessor]

Both of those are great choices! 👍

[@kellymeans4981]

So true about Olaplex. I have heard so many people that hate Olaplex and I LOVE it! Thanks for the info!

[@shirnelleeusebe8738]

Our shampoo helps with bawl and swollen face customers with alopecia are loving it. My husband had a dye allergic reaction they gave him benadryl and others creams his hair got mercy and fell. I tell him to use my fountain of life I gave it to him and washed his hair with feri captive I was amazed to see how fast the hear grew back even able to twist it and have it locks.

[@michaelremillard4215]

As a 30+ year veteran in the cosmetology industry I have to confess the push to buy and sell is placed on the professional from within the industry…I personally have worked with companies that manufacture professional beauty products and the push is to sell …the more the better all the while promising the professional stylists income increases…. And their poor clients walk away feeling great and most likely won’t even use the product in full … I’ve even had clients tell me “ why don’t you know about this “ product “ I saw a KZbin or Instagram influencer use … so “ like if “ you don’t recommend the same to me then you must not be very “ current “ or “good “ at your job … yeah …crazy huh ! I personally only sell what I feel my clients need … as far as toning shampoo and conditioner duos I agree … shampoo or conditioner or better yet mask ..if all three are pushed beware as even the stylist might have fallen for the sales “ scam” fed them by manufacturer…so it all boils down to plain ol’ common sense and trial and error

[@BlowoutProfessor]

100% agree with you. Really great points Michael 🙏

[@theresasimmons9007]

I made the Olaplex mistake one time. Thank you for all your great advice. I have listened to you and all your advice and I am thankful the huge difference it has made in my hair❤️

[@RV-in2mc]

I'm so happy to have found you! Wish I could get a Consult from you...gosh my hair has been destroyed

[@AliaFayOfficial]

For Olaplex as for now I only use No1, No2 and No3. No1 and No2 only when I'm bleaching my hair :) And No3 as a overnight mask once every 1-2 weeks. This works well for me personally!

[@AliaFayOfficial]

And as for purple products - it was always weird for me that You'd use a purple shampoo + purple conditioner. I mean, why?

[@TheQShow53]

What an amazing channel! We appreciate sharing your knowledge with us! ❤

[@carmencox6700]

Styling and looking after grey hair would be a great video and much appreciated by many

[@Readstudycry]

Because of your videos I bough the Redken big blowout cream (even though I was scared of the price lol) and OMG. Your tips plus that product have made a HUGE ENORMOUS difference!! Thank you for your work!

[@gemmateller1086]

Redken is owned by Loreal. I compared some products at drugstore that had both, one was a heat protector - Same Indgrediants!!! Try Loreal Products, they are cheaper than redken and the same

[@Mmiller509]

Thanks for the hair product marketing analysis. I have fallen for some of these traps, and appreciate you setting me straight. This is so educational and you're saving me time and money!

Suggestion for hair is the first time I am watching . Thank you

[@xiomaramartinez6898]

Thank you 🙏 so much for everything. By watching your videos, I have changed the way of taking care of my hair and definitely it’s a big change. Two weeks already in the process, what a difference 😋 Thank you so much 😊

[@almaz4346]

Thanks for your great recommendations. I can already see good results in my hair.

[@mread958]

I have to take exception to the Amika leave in overnight mask. My hair has been so damaged by everything you can imagine. Tried Moroccan oil products and weighed my hair down alot. Tried the Amika The Kure shampoo and conditioner and the blue hydro leave in conditioner. Wow! Good stuff. But I use the Amika Overnight hydration with macadamia oil added and in the morning it is smooth, silky, and light. Frizzies are all but gone. Amika is my soul mate set.

[@NofilterMarion]

Thank you! I used to load my hair with products and walk around with is AND sleep with it to give it more time to work. I stopped that and hopefully my hair will start to grow now

[@RealBlueLady]

I have a travel bottle I fill half with my shampoo and half with a purple “shampoo”. Works like a charm!

[@alyxandraramsey5828]

My hair completely changed after having my son 20 years ago. I never had any issues with my scalp or hair. After pregnancy, my scalp is often itchy a couple days after washing it. My hair looks oily hours after washing it, and my ends dry out quickly. I only get my hair cut once a year or so. I don't really notice split ends, and I do get length so I don't think I'm suffering from tons of breakage. It is super, baby fine though. And at 46 yrs old, it's getting thinner. I started using Ouai leave in conditioner on my ends and that has helped tremendously with the dry ends. I shampoo and condition with Hask Biotin every three or four days.

[@yisalin-ting7251]

I have referred your video’s to all of my friends and family. My hair is so much beter after following your advice.

[@serenasmith-bk8os]

I know you say we can’t buy cheap shampoo. But I have fine wavy/curly hair and I can go 3-4 days between shampoos. I do follow your instructions on how to shampoo.

[@Smiley_101]

❤️ thank you to your advices on hair ! I saved myself tons of money and my hair has never been this great !

[@woodypiffinton6111]

Hi Chris! I discovered your channel today and I love your minimalist approach to hair care. I have a question: there is a major trend toward sustainable products and many of the ones you recommend are packaged in plastic. Have you explored solid bar shampoos and conditioners? Do you consider them to be inferior to professional products? Thanks for all the great content!

[@kyliee.c]

Aah I’ve been binge watching your videos! Ty for educating uss!!❤️❤️

[@jgoldfarb3]

Me tooooo, who knew we’ve been doing this? My stylist never told me that, wanted me to buy!

[@vanessaleon4814]

Amazing! Finally someone that speak the the truth and help to realized we need less to accomplish more. I started doing few or all his tips, I can be happier with my hair❤❤. Thank you

[@monvici]

Use instead of scalp peeling. Much gentle. For me necessary otherwise all dirt and oil will build up and I will have again sensitive scalp like 1,5 years ago. Adding peeling part of my hair care has saved my life.

[@kimberella2105]

I put tons of products in my hair, then after watching this channel I realized how oily my hair now was on top of damaged. Washed everything out and starting over with minimal products. My hair used to be so healthy and minimal professional products worked best

[@jimbearone]

Instead of “Purple Shampoo / Conditioner” I use a “Semi - Permanent” colorant like WELLA Color Fresh or GOLDWELL Colorance foam which lasts through four to six shampoos and does a much better job of controlling excess warm tones.

[@Kelly_Mae]

Never knew this existed! Thanks for sharing! And I love wella shampoo. Using the repairing one right now

[@AmeriLoveday]

Hi! Do you recommend any products to enhance curls? Such as a cream, mousse, jelly, etc. Also, where do these products fit in the routine? After the blowout cream?

[@cherylpilcher5858]

Would love to hear this answer too!

[@tredjesongen]

Oribe,the green bottle series,I use the cream only,but there are different products depending how strong hold needed. Best combo ever for my fine curly hair: Philip B oil mask(best leave in overnight,yup I said it). Then Philip B forever shine oud shampoo,so their volumizing lightweight conditioner. So; Augustinus Bader leave in conditioner plus Oribe styling butter curl enhancing créme. Airdry. So roll up hair around two or one fingers depending on type curls wanted. Secure with bobbypins. Overnight,and then voilà. There it is my secrets revealed. I dont trust hairdressers,for a reason. They never tell it all. Now,I have. Find your own variations that works.👍

[@dw7939]

I love Jessicurl, they have a fragrance free line and you can get free samples on their website. I'm really loving SEEN curly creme for my 2a-2c thin hair. Not too heavy and great curl bounce. Also fragrance free.

[@phoenixdendera1693]

[@DevonRexLady]

This is so strange, but today I was washing my hair and thought why do I keep using purple shampoo when it dries the hell out of my hair. So instead, I used a small amount of gentle shampoo twice to wash and then applied my purple treatment and toning mask for 10 minutes. (Followed by leave in conditioner and serum oil at the ends.) My hair looks and feels so much better. I then watched this video and felt vindicated about ditching the purple shampoo for good. I'm so thrilled I've discovered your channel, absolute game changer! 🙏💜

[@maepaul6773]

Hi! Which toning mask/treatment do you use?

Purple shampoo is not meant to be your regular shampoo, or used frequently.

[@nadine5123]

I agree that we don’t wanna put food in our hair. But what about chemicals that are used in hair products? Many of them are really toxic when inhaled or applied on scalp. Where to find that balance to keep hair healthy and yet, not to damage your health?

[@MarjolaineDaudrumez]

Wow, I though you were going to try and sell us products but no! You have a scientific approach that I love! I just subscribed! 😃

[@mjamitche5245]

Can you talk about Black ethnic natural hair please? Because we need a lot of products. My hair requires leave-in detangler and oil. When I used to get a relaxer, I could get away without hair oil or leave-in conditioner and could flat iron my hair with a heat protectant and had silky results as long as I deep conditioned with heat. Now my hair is natural, I have to have way more products in order to manage the dryness.

[@maybutterfly7356]

Thank you again Chris. The information about the purple shampoo and conditioner was really helpful!

[@BlowoutProfessor]

Absolutely! The purple sets really grind on me so I have to speak up every now and then about it 😂

[@Skywintersnow]

@@BlowoutProfessor if I already have a purple mask can I also use a purple shampoo? Or just stick with the mask and ditch the purple shampoo altogether?
