The gold earrings and the teal shirt have me feeling a princess jasmine vibe

[@jessschultz9405]

YES TO SHAMPOOING ONCE A WEEK! i hate when people say its gross if you dont wash everyday. :(

[@Katariina_Lindqvist]

YESHH! I'm trying so hard to strech my washes and I'm currently washing my hair twice a week :)

[@hannahfox5422]

+Elli VIXXette Personally my natural hair is 3C-4A (more of a 3B when wet) so if I wash it everyday it's such a nightmare (gets dry, coarse, impossible to brush, etc), I wash it once a week to minimize the time it's like that.

[@flogreen8818]

I wash once a week, I have dry hair so I have to. Its still very shiny and smells fine at the end of the week.

[@justinehorton2527]

I know! Though for me I do every other week, but thoroughly rinse my scalp with warm water every couple of days because my hair is naturally super curly and dry. Plan on trying out argan oil because of the benefits.

[@angelaavalon]

I love love love any of the Pantene conditioners, and according to the official website, none of the p&g products are tested on animals, though there are a few sites out there that claim they do with no evidence to support it. In any case, I have hair just past my waist, a little thinner than yours, and it was color treated about 2 years ago. I use various shampoos, but my conditioner is always one of the Pantene ones. I like them all, and I've never found another brand I like.

[@LucysCorsetry]

+Isabella Dewhurst your privacy settings don't let me reply to your comment, but I don't get my hair wet - I just use a shower cap on days when I don't wash my hair. I let my hair air dry and it takes several hours, so wetting my hair every day would be highly impractical.

[@jessicaleonora85]

Have you tried Live Clean's Argan Oil Deep Conditioning mask. They do not test on animals and its available at Shoppers Drugmart and is cheap. The Live Clean does not have cones but it has good slip, I use it when I need good conditioner that I can find on the ground. I am a type 2 as well and about WL. My hair gets super matted and can detangle well with products from CG companies- like Deva Curl, JessiCurl, Curljunkie, ect. No Poo from Deva is also a great cleanser.

[@ladollyvita333]

Thanks for this video! I've been watching your stuff ALL morning, and I feel like I've learned so much! Good for you for embracing the greys. My family goes grey closer to their 40s, so I'm not there yet, but I feel the same way. Imagine having long silver hair! Wow!

[@lucifericafd]

I use several horse products in my hair, Quic Color as a shampoo seems to bring out alot of highlights and Show Sheen is an awesome silicone based detangler. I know this isn't for everyone, but I fund they work well for me. I've always felt that if it's good for my horse it ought to be good for me (within reason, you won't catch me using Ivermectin or anything, but you might catch me trying a treat or feed type to see how it tastes) Cause you know, horse people tend to be kinda nutty like that..

[@Lulabee]

Love the way u think about hair maintenance, And would LOVE to see more videos about your hair and beauty regimens, hairstyles, thoughts about your hair etc.

[@Scoot-a-loot]

I use sulfate free everything if I can (bodywash, shampoo, face wash, pimple wash) cause I react to sulfates, but I've never avoided 'cones cause I've never found any benefit or negative to using or not using them :P

[@KillerKikyo5]

glad to see you use coconut oil! I was looking for that, I love it!

[@ThatHandsomeDevilgrl]

Rosemary, rosemary can be used to help prevent thinning and balding hair. It can also deepen dark colors.

[@teresariplese2731]

I use grape seed oil it absorbs quicky into my hair and I use it on om skin af night and noticed my skin looks and feels healthier and wrinkles aand fine lines darn near go away

[@jennawinchester5729]

Me to I use coconut oil the most and sometimes olive oil but avocado oil is way to expensive in New York so ive never got to try it

[@abbykimz]

u are very educated about hair. I have mix hair, but it mostly black hair. I wash my hair once a week, I really don't get how people wash their hair so often. I use sulfate free shampoo as well; mine though is creme of nature argan oil, some heavy silicone conditioners I know of though is motions and silicon mix ,

[@littleblondemop]

I got a bottle of unrefined coconut oil for about $10 on sale, but it has lasted longer than I thought it would. It's almost like a thermometer. Once the room hits certain temperature it hardens up. I think I may try a shampoo bar again and something without sulfate.

[@shana0161]

Please advise on what to do/use for thinning hair. My hair on top has thinned out so much you can almost see my scalp. Dr say nothing wrong and my diet is ok. Do you have any suggestions how to regrow the hair that I have lost from root? Pls help!!!

[@SmittyKat]

I really wish you would! It's so rare to find any videos about hair that have any scientific basis. I always know what you're saying is correct because of your biology and chemistry background. other folks seem to not know diddly about the structure of hair, hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic properties of products, etc. It's always refreshing to watch your hair videos! (and your corset vids but I am more interested in hair). I'm growing to terminal length so I need all the info I can get!

[@EmmysHorses]

I always love your vidoes! I was wondering if flaxseed oil would be good for my hair? I can't wait to try the coconut oil! Thanks for posting the videos!

[@HemelDevin]

What brand is the olive oil you use? I've read about the corruption in olive oil trade and it's SO hard to find good EVOO.

[@Epiphanystone]

have you tried the shea moisture line ? you can find it at target. it is cruelty free and inexpensive and works great. try the green or black label products. green is anti breakage and black is anti buildup scalp calming. love it...great deep conditioners can conditioners and shampoos

[@kaylakaragiannis5142]

Would you recommended using coconut oil if you are trying to grow your hair longer

[@kmiss786]

Hi...i just wanted to know i'm in my early 20's and i have a few kids !!!i wanted to know because i died my hair once but it's to my waste if i should cut it even and not dye and grow it longer !!!should i put coconut oil in it?organic or just keep it natural?

[@brionyrose1475]

Hi there what is the name of the book you talk about in this video?

[@donSparda]

When you are talking about how the hair will adjust according to washes, i`m a guy with naturally red hair, it gets greasy overnight, i have a good day now and its slightly greasy.. Would you recommend waiting a few days before i wash it again? I usually wash my hair and wait two days before i do it again, but it does get greasy anyway, should i wait longer?? Also, when not washing your hair, do you mean not showering or not getting the hair wet? Thanks:) growing long hair is a hassle, haha.

[@MissBonchy]

Just subbed. You are so ethereal- blue looks lovely with your olive skin.

[@abbykimz]

At nights though u can just put your hair in a loose bun, u don't even need a hair bands for that just wrap it around so it forms a bun then put a silk bonnet on it and in the morning it will pretty much be straight

[@doThatGWalk]

I really enjoy your videos! You have a completely different perspective on long hair, thanks for the help :)

[@leahragdoll]

Salon Selective 3 minute hair therapy is crulty free and is available at any dollar tree store. I use it and it works very well. 😊👌🏻✨

[@snowberryca]

I like ur idea to keep the hair natural way and use less chemical stuffs. Since I lost a lot of hair, I started to pay attention on the hair product too. I hope I saw ur video before my hair loss, :) now have to wish it is not too late to use natural product to save my hair.

[@MrsHervias05]

Okay thank you:)) I love you hair I have exact same type of hair n I hated it all the frizz and puffiness but after watchin ur videos I've learned to love it and after less washing, oils, and no heat or hair products its calmed down on the frizz:)) thanks:))

[@kortnidee4659]

How often do you trim it?

[@poemedunephenix]

Lovely video. I also use oil to moisturize my hair, in fact I will do it today before shampooing

[@snowberryca]

As my knowledge of olive oil similar as urs, I choose extra virgin coconut oil(cold pressed) or Sweet Almond oil. I feel they worked on my hair much better than conditioner. For cooking, I think grape seed oil is really good. cold pressed is the key to anyone looking for good quality coconut oil. and I observed different brands, same story as olive oil, good ones r really expensive, some r mixed or fake virgin coconut(refined).

[@21Bluejade]

I have a question for you, i have pretty curly hair Type 3B and i would love to have my hair as long as yours, i just started on my journey this month. My hair is to where my breast are and i know i have a long way to go but i would like to know if my type of hair can ever get to your length? and what would you recommend for my type? i haven't seen anyone on youtube yet with as much knowledge on hair as you so please let me know what i should do. Thank you so much lucy! i love your videos!

[@kwaniesiam]

Great video! Your hair is lovely. I'm a pro stylist with a broader view on alternative hair care and you are 100% correct about some products containing junk ingredients that claim to be "natural". Personally I love Deva Curl, all the products are sulfate-free, cone-free, and not tested on animals. Also Argan oil in its pure form but my hair is baby fine and thin compared to that mane you have going on!

[@natalievalencia1234]

There too expensive anyways lol So right now I'm in Colombia on vacation and I cant find any natural or organic shampoo. I was wondering would Johnson's baby shampoo be my best option?

[@LadyKay78]

LOVE your earrings!!!! Where can I find them?

[@RaRaBeautyLicious]

You should get the wen hair care! ITS AMAZING!

[@franzabananza]

just a random thought, what inspired you to grow your hair so long? it seems like you like to wear it up a lot also...do you ever wear it down?

[@WallFlower08]

Which olive oil's brand would you recommend?

[@Pslm91v14n15]

I have hair down to my upper thighs, and all I've been doing is washing it with organic shampoo. Desert Essence shampoos are really good, it just takes a couple washes to get really dirty hair clean. I probably should start conditioning the ends again though... Nice to know about the olive oil, in case I ever decide to use some for hair.

[@planetjazzy]

I wash my hair about the same, but I stopped using shampoos, totally, I use baking soda (yes I said that baking soda, or coconut conditioner to clean (yes conditioners do clean hair) I'm stopped alot by people asking me what I do, how I get my hair to grow (it's longer than the old picture) I use a comb & tangle teaser I do have a Mason Pearson brush, I use in once in a while so cheap coconut conditioner, coconut oil, argon oil

[@EmOtEeDy]

Jojoba oil is the closest oil to the body's natural oil! (sebum) :)

[@dianagodessa]

have you tried Wen cleansing conditioners? i love it.

[@justinehorton2527]

My hair likes simple, but also likes butters compared to oils alone. I like shea butter mixed with other oils. I'm trying out a new shampoo and conditioner, it should get here by tomorrow. I'm excited to try them. I have very curly hair and decided to go back to silicone because my ends would knot up badly.

[@TechnicalDramaticOrchid]

can you do a video about how to find out your hair type?

[@Dontmakemebiteyou]

I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but what's your hair thickness?

[@MrsHervias05]

when you apply the coconut oil is it really thick?? can you warm it up in the stove or do u think that would kill all the nutrients?? (such as oils that helps your hair)

[@Blondie35]

You have the most beautiful long black hair! And I love all of your videos!

[@Kynarreth]

So why long hair? I'm completely in love with yours and yours extreme long hair looks very good. But what made you decide that you wanted to have such long hair?

[@Blondie35]

I also use Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner too!!! I love it!!! I also use the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Conditioner too!!! I also love that conditioner too!!! I just love how it makes my hair feel like butter after rinsing it out!!!

[@lucifericafd]

It should also be noted that I have hair that gets oily quick as well as a more European hair type (it's thick for being ash blonde but it's not as thick as some Hispanic / Islander/ Indian hair types) It sad, but that's just the way genetics works, so these products might not work as well for others as they do for me.

[@rovingginger]

What benefits do you get from applying conditioner after the shower and leaving it in? I ask because I have a very similar hair type (relatively coarsish 2c/3a hair) that tangles hoooorrrrribly. I've always used a rinse-out conditioner then a leave-in or creamy styling product but still get awful snarls. Agree on cones. It's not the masking damage, it's the long-lasting slip that keeps me coming back. They are great sealers. And no, they don't suffocate your hair!

[@4lifetaylorswift1fan]

i feel the same way you do about sleeping with my hair down and my hair is only to my waist

[@karleecraziness9216]

Lucy have you tried Creme of Nature Argon Oil Shampoo? That stuff as tones of slip and smells good too! Well my opinion My mom has some what medium thick store she doesn't have ethnic hair but she said she didn't even need conditioner!

[@princessjazz5767]

and where can we go to buy that olive oil like you ?

[@Robbi496]

uch lovely hair and you obviously "baby" it to keep it that way?? I like those earrings too! I notice that the front of the hair is much shorter tho? Did you keep it that way or are you growing your bangs out?

[@Gisulih]

Do you know is there any connections about dying hair and silicon/cols? My friend dye heavily her hair and now the colours don't stick in her hair. Is it possible that those cols has stuffed into the hair making it repel the dye. I have seen/heard that happen to other my friends like some colour they randomly used get stuck in the hair like even they tried to colour it again with different colour or one dyed her hair (usually dyed red) blonde to get the red more red but it didn't work anymore...

[@torrentXofXdarkness]

Do you know how to hide side hair wisps like things while it grows out? I am a victim of hair butchering

[@dAILite]

I am happy that I came across your video! It is really informative. And loved when you spoke about olive oil because I always wondered why some brands were more expensive than others and why it smells like everything else but olive oil... you really put it in perspective for me. The olive oil brand you mentioned in a previous comment I will consider it next time I buy it for cooking and hair use :). And also true for me about other nut oils... my hair doesn't like it much. Olive oil and olive always seems to make my hair happy. :)

[@dAILite]

Oops I meant olive and coconut oil.

[@GuidetteExpert]

Silicone conditioner doesn't condition your hair, it sits on your hair to make it look like it is conditioned, under it is your dry hair.

[@TheoPluto]

Have you ever considered applying a henna treatment/dye on your hair? :)

[@TheTeaAddict]

the part I love about not having to wash my hair that often is that I can afford to buy the expensive/sulfate free/eco-friendly or whatever I want at the time, shampoo/conditioner/product.

[@erinsalmon5870]

Hi Lucy Looks like L'oreal discontinued this mask. Are you aware of anywhere else to get this??

[@Hijabibti925]

great update! thanx

[@lawdhammercy4448]

How do you feel about the old tradition of brushing 100 strikes with a board bristle brush? Also have you ever tried other animal hair brushes, such as goat?

[@LucysCorsetry]

I don’t count my brush strokes, I only brush enough to detangle my hair and then I stop. Too much friction can damage the outer cuticle of the hair. I don’t own a boar bristle brush, just a detangling brush. Boar bristle is good for distributing sebum, but it will never be properly distributed down my entire length so I just apply oil on the ends of my hair now.

[@psychologie_energetique]

I use the Brazil Nut Moisture Mask from the Body Shop. It's animal friendly, smells great, and makes my hair really soft :)

[@kiikz]

I use just plain cocoa butter and it works just as well as coconut oil. For my hair at least, cause its really thin.

[@Bluedemon62]

Why do you choose conditioners with silicon in it? (I apologise if you have mentioned this in said video, am slightly out of it just now! LOL)

[@suggsy1960]

gorgeous gorgeous hair

[@TheVegan6]

You are so pretty, you look like a Bollywood celebrity! Hair tips are awesome and my hair has been growing.

[@natalievalencia1234]

Have you tried lush products?

[@NidhuvanNagari]

Can you please,please do a video on how you actually shampoo and wash your hair with your shampoo bars,I have been struggling with using various company's shampoo bars and always end up with dry tacky broom stick like mid lengths and ends. I have bought a shower head filter and follow up with a acv rinse or Dr. Bronners citrus shikakia hair rinse and my hair still feels dry and coated with residue. I want to use these bars for all there pure organic ingredient s and oils and butters but I'm failing miserably. I'm currently using Bobeam Cheri hibiscus bar, I love its rich creamy soft lather and it feels great while washing but then dries waxy and very tacky.

[@nikolasstormy]

Your makeup looks really pretty in this vid.

[@4parsnips976]

Hi Lucy. Just catching up on your fabulous videos and tutorials. Can you tell me the name of the first shampoo in the oblong white bottle? Green Fever shampoo?

[@LucysCorsetry]

Green Beaver, it's a Canadian brand. :)

[@KnitandCrochet424]

Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@alexandraarcher8997]

Where do you buy your oil and what is it called and what is the shampoo and where do you buy that?

[@malajm84]

I have a question...what do you eat?

[@amixeblu]

2c/3a wurls are so pretty! :-) I'm a 2a myself, and sometimes I wish my hair was a little more wavy, even curly.

[@donaldhammond4736]

I am curious to know if you have ever tried Wen or Hair one. I have been wanting to try it. Wen is just so expensive so I have been considering trying the Hair One. I also have extremely long hair although I color my hair so I needsome extra protection and care. Keep up the videos.

[@mistressfreyja1313]

I have tried the Hair One product and hated it. It took forever to work thru my long, thick hair and took even longer to rinse out. On top of all that my hair felt gummy and gross after it dried (I air dry my hair). I maybe wash my hair 3 times a week tops.

[@MegaMarie]

I know this was for her, but I tried wen... seemed okay for a while just like washing with any conditioner to be honest, then soon my hair started looking limp and greasier quicker. Hair shedding was off the roof though, so went back to shampoo. Used Wen for approx 7 months before I quit.

[@lstg6228]

Wen is not all that :/ had my hair feeling gross

[@lydster30]

have you ever thought of getting hair one or wen?

[@TinksiehTink]

I don't think you mentioned how long your hair is at the moment?

[@MrsHervias05]

The only oil I use now is argan oil, but I am going to try the coconut oil:))

[@Gisulih]

I think she hasn't think what she put on her hair but some time ago she panicd her hair and cut them very short. I told her to buy some of those clarifying shampoos oh well Hair is tricky. I have tried to dye but none of the colours wont stay cause of my natural red :) I also measured them about 80cm now but still growing longer ^___^

[@estoniaforever]

Try all natural shampoo and conditioner from rocky mountain soap company.

[@hthr872005]

how long is it now?

[@Sarah-fp3ib]

Some cruelty-free brands that sell deep conditioners are MoroccanOil, Pureology, nuNaat (vegan keratin!) Giovanni, Marrakesh, Beauty Without Cruelty, Acure, Neuma, and lots more. Also the Ever-Pure line of L'Oreal is cruelty-free and vegan :)

[@msaoichan]

I know that feeling. While walking into a cosmetics department at Meyer's on my way to the haircare section I literally double over because of the smell.

[@AishaKiwi]

I have a question, some say that brushing hair especially with boar bristle brush is super healthy and has a lot of benefits for hair because natural hair sebum is distributed through hair and if you don´t do it then you get greasy built up on scalp and you have dry ends.....so is it true?

[@LucysCorsetry]

Boar bristle brushes do effectively distribute sebum and help with "finishing" (smoothing over flyaways, etc), but it's not the only means of distributing oils - other brushes can help too. No matter what brush you use, you're likely to experience a gradient of oiliness (more at the scalp and less at the ends). I notice that my ends get a little dry, but there is no brush on this earth that will distribute oils across a meter of hair, lol.

[@AishaKiwi]

***** Thank you a lot :) :) :)

[@AishaKiwi]

***** If I can one more question, so do you think that is it better to brush or not, because brushing cause damage so if I just detangle with comb and never use brush will anything bad happen to my hair?

[@LucysCorsetry]

Yvainnie I always detangle using my Tangle Teezer, and then if I need the extra finishing then I'll use the boar-bristle brush. There are billions of people who never own or use a boar-bristle brush; I don't think anything horrid will happen to you if you decide not to use one.

[@AishaKiwi]

Thank you again :) really :)

[@toscadonna]

My hair is naturally curly, and I don't use hair dryers, irons, or anything hot on it. I have been using olive oil in my hair my entire life b/c that's what my Dad told me to do when I was a little girl. Your hair is beautiful!

[@TristenDavenport1]

Your makeup looks extra gorgeous in the video!! :D

[@samiam2088]

Is it weird that i really just want to play with your hair all day? I am thinking of all the fun ways to braid it :-P

[@kristentaylor8217]

I was wondering how often you trim the ends of your hair. Despite the fact that my hair grows at a quick rate, I am really hesitant to trim the ends and only go to the salon 3-4 times a year.

[@LucysCorsetry]

That's about how often I trim my hair as well, perhaps 3-4 times a year, or maybe less. Typically when I feel I really need it (which is when the ends are getting rough and it becomes difficult to brush through).

[@MatterOfFactOnly]

Said it before and I will say it again you are the perfect fusion of Jasmine and Rapunzel :D

[@egeoran3908]

Paul Mitchel`s products are notz tested on Animals just take a look at it they are a little bit more expensive then normal hair products but i love them and they last really long on me thank you for sharing i love your videos:)

[@jmewhitfield8498]

Love your hair

[@ShoppingwithANG]

Shea Moisture products are great for heavy conditioning , and i don't think they're tested on animals.

[@LaceandCognac]

AND by being a detangler cones MITIGATE the damage that will by incurred by regular manipulation; combing brushing ect.; temporarily mending damage is only a teeny benefit of cones

[@zizoulove9858]

plz what use for your hair to be long plz name oil and shampoo

[@screwdriver6176]

You can use Coconut Oil or Jojoba Oil, those are really good for your hair, for shampoo just use something with out any sulfates or silicons and that will help grow out your hair.

[@Anamilkk]

Do you go to any ordinary salon? And do they look at you like "I dont.. I cant.. I dont know what to do with that"? I worried if I keep growing mine it wont fit in my hairdressers sink x)

[@LucysCorsetry]

I only used to go to salons to get my bangs trimmed (back when I had bangs), and I do all other trims/ cuts myself.

[@TrappedinSLC]

+Anastasia Milkshake I know this is old, but I used to have very long hair (it got to knee length, although I think when I was getting it trimmed in a salon it was more like hip length) and honestly it tended to be a test of a good hair dresser. If they didn't give me a hard time about the length and respected my desire for a trim rather than spending the entire time trying to talk me into a pixie cut, I'd go back. They did have some trouble with it in the sink, but they always managed. I think once or twice the shampoo person would borrow another set of hands so they could make sure to rinse the full length of the hair, especially at the end, by having someone else hold up the stuff near my scalp that had already been rinsed, but it really wasn't a Major Problem. Actually, funnily enough, even though I moved from the US to the UK and back in the intervening years, and he had another career for a while, my hair stylist now is the same one who used to trim my hair when I was younger and had it really long because I trusted him to actually TRIM it rather than hack off a foot. I've also gotten my mom to start going back to him, and referred at least three other people to his salon that I know go there regularly for cuts and styling, so clearly dealing with my extra long hair is working out well for him these days. :D Do be prepared that there are some hair cut styles that really don't work well with longer hair - like, the proportions of things like how long layers should be just don't work out right, that sort of thing. So you may occasionally hear "I can't do that" but a good stylist will explain why, and perhaps be able to suggest something that might give you something similar.

[@Anamilkk]

Kris Dow thanks so much for the detailed reply! that last point you mentioned, ugh, hit that first hand, went in with butt length hair and an idea for slightly updated but equally long hair and she said "yeeeeah for that we're gunna have to cut loads off kay" "oh....o...k..then" now its nearly as long as it was again :D my ladies always do a great job and ive told them im growing it and trying to keep it long so they try not to cut too much but it is kinda damaged, and they comment on it being "too long" and i "cant grow it much more" but i guess we'll just see how long i can get it, i want to keep going to them :33
