WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.220 So if you shampoo twice a week, you're doing 00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:06.759 a hair mask like once a month. So yeah, that's 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:08.699 kind of my personally, my rule of thumb that 00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:10.939 I suggest to clients and what I do for my own 00:00:10.939 --> 00:00:20.559 hair. Welcome back to Keep It Good. I'm your 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.239 host Carly. And I'm your host, Emily. Today we're 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.960 going to talk about all things hair. everything 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.500 from products to vitamins to styling and what 00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:33.560 you need to do, all those things. I'm so excited 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.380 to learn. You know me, I'm all into like trying 00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:39.820 out natural remedies and all the things. So I 00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:43.340 had been really interested in this banana hair 00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:47.439 mask. Apparently like banana is so good for like 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.119 curing breakage, hydration, shine, dandruff. 00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:54.409 And so we added egg to it, and right now it's 00:00:54.409 --> 00:00:59.270 on our head. We are wearing it, and we will take 00:00:59.270 --> 00:01:01.509 a quick pause halfway through to rinse it out 00:01:01.509 --> 00:01:03.909 and let you know what our thoughts are on this 00:01:03.909 --> 00:01:07.450 little DIY hair mask we have going on. I have 00:01:07.450 --> 00:01:10.510 actually never done an at -home make your own 00:01:10.510 --> 00:01:14.209 hair mask before. But I said to Carly, let's 00:01:14.209 --> 00:01:16.310 give it a go. Let's try it. I mean, these are 00:01:16.310 --> 00:01:19.129 products you have in your house already, a banana 00:01:19.129 --> 00:01:24.590 and egg. Super simple. It was not that simple, 00:01:24.870 --> 00:01:27.750 though, applying it. It seemed a little messy. 00:01:27.769 --> 00:01:30.489 Yeah. But to be honest, I've never wanted to 00:01:30.489 --> 00:01:34.390 use mayonnaise or, I don't know, coconut oil. 00:01:34.430 --> 00:01:37.129 I feel like it would just get hardened. I don't 00:01:37.129 --> 00:01:39.870 know. So we're giving it a go. We're going to 00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:42.390 try, and we'll let you guys know if this is a 00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:45.709 good idea or a bad one. It could go either way. 00:01:45.730 --> 00:01:48.370 So far, it smells great, but it looks like I 00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:50.920 had... baby vomit on my hair so looks a little 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.219 weird but you know we'll see yeah never know 00:01:54.219 --> 00:01:58.420 until you try right so while this sets uh let's 00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:01.400 get into some basics emily get me ready let's 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.439 pretend i'm going out tonight okay okay get me 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.340 ready start to finish we'll start with the basics 00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:12.879 i'm in the shower what do i do so i mean let's 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.900 start with i think so many of us have been taught, 00:02:16.900 --> 00:02:18.379 you know, don't wash your hair every day, which 00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:21.020 I definitely agree with. You don't want to wash 00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:23.280 your hair too much because the natural oils that 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.379 your scalp produces, that's good for your hair. 00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:28.199 It's good for the hair shaft. It can be beneficial 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.939 for the scalp, but I think we've also gone way 00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:35.240 too far where like people go way too long. And 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.580 then the scalp is gross. People end up with dandruff. 00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:42.379 They're using dry shampoo and it can just cause 00:02:42.379 --> 00:02:45.159 a lot of buildup. And then people aren't shampooing 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.000 enough. So their hair still feels kind of yucky. 00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:52.319 If you don't shower, like, wouldn't that kind 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.219 of cause a risk of, like, microbial growth? Yeah. 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.099 Yes, it can. Yes. And people's heads get itchy. 00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:02.680 And I mean, it's nice to not have to wash your 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.360 hair all the time because obviously we know that 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.719 it takes a while to style it. But in the same 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.860 breath, people who have issues like dandruff 00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:12.939 or psoriasis should really be washing their hair 00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:15.719 a little bit more. I like to tell people, you 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.159 know, two to three times a week is probably ideal. 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.330 So Sometimes, you know, give your hair maybe 00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:24.110 an extra shampoo a week. If you're only doing 00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:26.270 once, you probably need two. If you're doing 00:03:26.270 --> 00:03:28.969 two, maybe try three. See if that helps if you 00:03:28.969 --> 00:03:31.189 are having any scalp issues. Also, if you're 00:03:31.189 --> 00:03:34.629 going a long time in between washing, one shampoo 00:03:34.629 --> 00:03:37.449 might not do it for you. Like your scalp and 00:03:37.449 --> 00:03:39.810 your hair might not get fully clean. So a lot 00:03:39.810 --> 00:03:42.710 of times people will wear their hair up too, 00:03:42.889 --> 00:03:44.509 like day three, day four, day five, if they're 00:03:44.509 --> 00:03:47.310 really going a long time. And so we can get really 00:03:47.310 --> 00:03:49.830 oily at the crown of the head or the nape of 00:03:49.830 --> 00:03:52.349 the neck. And sometimes we need a little more 00:03:52.349 --> 00:03:55.590 shampoo to really cleanse that area. So the scalp 00:03:55.590 --> 00:03:57.830 might feel clean, you're getting a lot of suds 00:03:57.830 --> 00:04:00.830 from the shampoo, but I also suggest doing two 00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:02.969 shampoos to make sure that the hair is really 00:04:02.969 --> 00:04:06.020 clean. And then obviously conditioning. Yeah, 00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:08.180 I remember you teaching me that a few years ago 00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:10.259 and I haven't stopped because it really did make 00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:13.060 a difference Washing it twice versus the typical 00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:15.879 one that like you're you know You grow up learning 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.779 about the two really gets everything. It's yeah 00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:22.339 When you were learning to wash your hair back 00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:24.560 then everyone's washing their hair pretty much 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.779 daily Maybe every other day, you know So yeah, 00:04:28.779 --> 00:04:31.300 I do recommend the two shampoos for most people 00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:35.040 because again nowadays everybody goes a lot longer 00:04:35.180 --> 00:04:38.480 So you're going to shampoo two times. And it 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:39.839 doesn't have to be a ton of shampoo. You don't 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.600 need to waste your product. You can use less 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.060 than what you use the first time, because you've 00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:47.680 kind of lifted the debris up. And then the second 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.939 shampoo is going to definitely remove it all. 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.220 And then, of course, you're going to condition. 00:04:51.339 --> 00:04:54.319 If you are into hair masks, like in the shower 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.759 hair masks, that's not something you want to 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.769 do every time you shampoo either. A lot of times 00:05:00.769 --> 00:05:02.990 that can be too much for the hair and a lot of 00:05:02.990 --> 00:05:05.970 hair masks these days have protein in them and 00:05:05.970 --> 00:05:08.709 too much protein can be damaging to the hair 00:05:08.709 --> 00:05:12.449 actually. The hair is made of protein but too 00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:16.170 much can be bad too. Especially if you have a 00:05:16.170 --> 00:05:18.269 keratin treatment on like a smoothing treatment 00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:20.290 which a lot of people do these days and that 00:05:20.290 --> 00:05:23.009 can actually cause some breakage. So you got 00:05:23.009 --> 00:05:24.870 to be careful about what is actually in your 00:05:24.870 --> 00:05:28.350 product too and hopefully your hairstylist is 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.139 educated on all that and can help you choose 00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:34.560 what's best for your hair type. But with hair 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.420 masks, I suggest doing them like every four to 00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:42.379 eight shampoos. So if you shampoo twice a week, 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.439 you're doing a hair mask like once a month. Yeah, 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.600 that's kind of my personally, my rule of thumb 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.879 that I suggest to clients and what I do for my 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.160 own hair. So you're gonna do that in the shower, 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.120 shampoo, condition, if you mask. maybe once a 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.339 month, and then you're going to get out and towel 00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:02.540 dry. I also tell people that your conditioner 00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:05.939 should be rinsed out like pretty well. I know 00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:08.399 it feels really soft and nice and shiny, like 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.379 it's going to feel so good, but it should feel 00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:11.800 like it's rinsed out. You don't want your hair 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.939 to be slimy when you get out. So let's do two 00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:16.720 scenarios, okay? Tonight, let's say I'm going 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.560 out and I want to look great and I'm going to 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.959 blow dry my hair, right? So is there something 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.060 that I put in immediately out of the shower? 00:06:24.430 --> 00:06:29.490 Like a serum or something. So because I want 00:06:29.490 --> 00:06:31.209 you to rinse out your conditioner well enough, 00:06:31.810 --> 00:06:34.389 I also tell all my clients that the conditioner 00:06:34.389 --> 00:06:36.670 should be rinsed out enough that you need to 00:06:36.670 --> 00:06:39.730 use a leave -in conditioner also. It's just like 00:06:39.730 --> 00:06:44.850 an insurance policy. So before I even comb my 00:06:44.850 --> 00:06:47.790 hair, I put in my leave -in conditioner. I personally 00:06:47.790 --> 00:06:49.939 use a cream. but a lot of them come in spray 00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:51.939 form. And you're going to spray that all over 00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:54.600 and then comb out your hair. It gives the brush 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.519 comb, whatever you're using, a little more slip 00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:58.600 to get through the hair. So it helps with knots 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.399 you might have or something. And of course, don't 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.720 spray it at your roots. It should be more towards 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.980 your mid shaft and ends. Don't think, oh, I don't 00:07:06.980 --> 00:07:09.019 really need it. You should, especially if you 00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:11.000 have long hair. That hair is old. It's been on 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.480 your head for years. I always thought that you 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.459 just, I always considered that like a hair mask, 00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:19.180 you know, so you like put it on and go to bed 00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:20.720 type thing. It's not going to weigh your hair 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.420 down if you're using the conditioner and the 00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:27.500 leave -in properly. Yeah, I think people get 00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:28.819 worried about that. Like I'm going to look greasy 00:07:28.819 --> 00:07:31.000 if I do too much. Well, if you're spraying it 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.100 on your roots, you might. And if you're not rinsing 00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:34.819 out your conditioner, you might look greasy, 00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:38.980 you know? So, rinse everything well. I'm talking 00:07:38.980 --> 00:07:42.660 like if it's a spray, maybe six. Seven sprays 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:45.779 again just mid shaft and ends hair grows roughly 00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:48.680 six inches a year give or take depending on the 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.000 person So if your hair is you know to your boobs 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.480 like that's been on there a couple years that 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.899 hair needs extra extra care Yeah, that makes 00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:02.000 sense. Yeah, so leave in conditioner, and then 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.639 if you're gonna blow dry like you're going out 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.180 I always suggest a blowout cream a lot of them 00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:09.639 do you have a thermal protectant in them which 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.980 is great now because that gets rid of another 00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:14.300 product you have to add. But if your blowout 00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:17.819 cream does not, then I also suggest a thermal 00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:20.000 protectant, which again can come in a spray form 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.259 or a cream. If you're going to use any kind of 00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:26.060 heated products, blow dryer round brush, a heated 00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:28.939 round brush, curling iron, crimper, flat iron, 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.320 you should really have a thermal protectant in 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.659 your products. Now I have these like root tonics 00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:40.620 and volume tonics that I got from like I don't 00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:45.620 even know the brand. But those are okay to put 00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:48.559 in with this leave -in conditioner and the blowout. 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.620 Yep. So I always do leave -in conditioner, then 00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:54.639 I put in my blowout cream. And then I usually 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.899 do if I'm going to use any kind of root lift 00:08:56.899 --> 00:09:00.259 on myself or a client, that's kind of the last 00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:02.679 thing I use. A root lift, maybe a little bit 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.740 of mousse or a gel depending on the person. I 00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:08.480 do that kind of as the last piece. So all those 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.190 things that are going to give shine and health 00:09:11.190 --> 00:09:13.370 to my hair, I put those in first. It's like a 00:09:13.370 --> 00:09:17.049 layering process. Yeah, okay. I've been doing 00:09:17.049 --> 00:09:20.769 it wrong, so good to know. It happens, and there's 00:09:20.769 --> 00:09:23.610 so many products out there, and I think we love 00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:28.269 our products, and it's hard. You could have like, 00:09:28.450 --> 00:09:30.509 I mean, obviously I have a plethora of products, 00:09:30.549 --> 00:09:33.009 because that's my job, that's my jam, you know, 00:09:33.009 --> 00:09:35.149 but I personally like to stick with the root 00:09:35.149 --> 00:09:38.529 lifting products as my last product to apply. 00:09:39.599 --> 00:09:41.960 Okay, is there such thing as too many products? 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.059 Like, where do you draw the line, you know? Yeah, 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.340 again, depending on what you're wanting from 00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:51.539 your hair, I think, you know, you don't need 00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:55.059 to put in 18 products. But, you know, your basics 00:09:55.059 --> 00:09:59.519 leave in a blowout cream and a root lift. thermo 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.299 protected. That's normal for I would say most 00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:04.159 people to be using. And of course you can overdo 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.059 the product. So you don't want to put too too 00:10:06.059 --> 00:10:07.580 much. You have to kind of know your hair and 00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:09.379 that depending on the person and if they have 00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:12.899 fine hair or thick hair would depend on how much 00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:14.559 you need to use. So that would be something I 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.059 would talk about with your stylist if you're 00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:18.480 having problems. Yeah, that's why I'm talking 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.679 with you right now. Yeah, you can definitely 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.720 put too much and then it could be hard for you 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.820 to actually get the brush through your hair and 00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:26.720 then you could cause you know pulling and some 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.600 breaking if you have you know too much root lift 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.840 gel or something if you're looking for volume. 00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:35.679 All right, so say I just blew out my hair, right? 00:10:36.419 --> 00:10:38.899 What should I be putting in like now as like 00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:42.519 a finishing? What's the best kind of things to 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.659 make it not look frizzy or, you know, dry? Give 00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:50.139 it a little extra shine or, I don't know. I love 00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:54.159 an oil. There is shine sprays, which typically 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.580 are pretty potent. So you want to be careful. 00:10:57.700 --> 00:11:00.580 I have an aerosol shine spray that I use, and 00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:02.639 I actually spray it on my hands, and then I put 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.779 it on my hair. Because the actual spray itself 00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:07.860 can be a lot. And I do have thick hair. It's 00:11:07.860 --> 00:11:13.720 textured. So I do definitely need it. But that's 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.299 a product that could definitely be used too heavy, 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.019 and then you're kind of screwed. You can't take 00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:21.139 it back. once it's on there. And a lot of the 00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:24.639 oils, like Moroccan oil or, I mean, a lot of 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.879 companies now have their own oil. A little goes 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.539 a long way. A lot of them will say they can be 00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:34.679 used on wet and dry hair. But personally, I like 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:39.139 the oil on dry hair. Oil and water, typically 00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:42.100 we know that they don't really mix well. And 00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:44.970 I find that even on my clients. When oils first 00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:46.529 became a thing, we would put them on people's 00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:48.090 hair. Obviously wet, so they were on there while 00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:50.850 we blow -dried, which it feels great. But it's 00:11:50.850 --> 00:11:53.490 still on my hands as I'm putting it on the client's 00:11:53.490 --> 00:11:58.529 hair. So what I found is if I use it after, or 00:11:58.529 --> 00:12:00.629 if I had to stop the blow -dry and put a little 00:12:00.629 --> 00:12:03.370 bit on, depending on their hair type, mid -blow 00:12:03.370 --> 00:12:05.970 -dry, that helps better. The hair can really 00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:09.539 absorb it better. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. 00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:11.879 So like for my own hair, like I said, my hair 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.539 is very textured and thick, a little bit coarse. 00:12:15.059 --> 00:12:19.299 So I put all my products in that I want for that 00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:23.799 day of styling. And then I get my hair probably 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.879 95 % dry. So I get the roots dry. I blow out 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.279 my front section, you know, bang area around 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.470 my ears because I have some crazy cowlicks. And 00:12:33.470 --> 00:12:35.289 then I flip my head upside down. I rough dry 00:12:35.289 --> 00:12:38.110 it with a paddle brush, get it somewhat smooth, 00:12:38.110 --> 00:12:41.289 as smooth as I can. And then I'll put some oil 00:12:41.289 --> 00:12:44.370 in. That's when I'll go through and section my 00:12:44.370 --> 00:12:48.450 hair and use like a hot airbrush and kind of 00:12:48.450 --> 00:12:51.350 round it and perfect the styling of it. And it 00:12:51.350 --> 00:12:54.350 makes it so soft because I have the oil in then. 00:12:54.450 --> 00:12:56.830 Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. I'm going 00:12:56.830 --> 00:12:59.149 to start doing that. So that's my tip that I 00:12:59.149 --> 00:13:02.480 obviously tell my clients. I feel like that is 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.960 just the best also, a little pro tip too that 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.360 I love and people who do it swear by it, just 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.639 a speck of oil every day. So whether you have 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.000 a pump, I mean, maybe half a pump, if it's a 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.840 bottle and you tip it upside down, like whatever's 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.840 on your palm, when you tip it back up, just a 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.200 little bit on your ends every day in between 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:29.580 will do wonders for your ends, like help with 00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:33.600 breakage. It's amazing. I love it. It adds shine 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.720 and it just kind of nourishes the hair Yeah, 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.340 because I've gone a very long time this round 00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:41.320 without getting a haircut. So I'm sure I have 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.419 like a Tremendous amount of split ends. I have 00:13:45.419 --> 00:13:48.059 to schedule a haircut How long should like how 00:13:48.059 --> 00:13:49.559 many times should you get your hair cut because 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.779 it's been since like, I don't know September 00:13:55.810 --> 00:13:58.250 It's, again, very personal. It depends on what 00:13:58.250 --> 00:13:59.509 you're doing with your hair. Do you just need 00:13:59.509 --> 00:14:01.649 like a trim? Are you growing it out from something 00:14:01.649 --> 00:14:04.289 different? Do you have color or bleach in your 00:14:04.289 --> 00:14:07.190 hair? It's really dependent. So if I have clients 00:14:07.190 --> 00:14:09.970 who come every four weeks, a lot of times we 00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:12.370 won't trim every four weeks. So I'll have them 00:14:12.370 --> 00:14:14.909 skip, you know, so they get haircuts every eight 00:14:14.909 --> 00:14:18.429 weeks. If you have virgin hair and no color added 00:14:18.429 --> 00:14:21.179 to it. You could go three months, four months, 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:22.940 depends on the style, really. If you have short 00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:24.580 hair, obviously you're going to come more often 00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:27.720 because that shape can get long and things can 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.399 get out of whack. Yeah, I think I'm due. You 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.019 know, I mean, as a stylist myself, I maybe get 00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:37.960 a haircut three times a year. It's not very often. 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.899 We don't take care of ourselves like we should. 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.419 You know, it's like, oh, my God, can you turn 00:14:42.419 --> 00:14:44.220 my hair dry really quick? Do you have anybody 00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:47.429 right now? You know, it's like. Oh, that's, I 00:14:47.429 --> 00:14:50.110 feel like that's the case with any career, right? 00:14:50.710 --> 00:14:53.909 Like the nurses are the most unhealthy or the 00:14:53.909 --> 00:14:57.570 shoemaker's kids never have shoes. The hairdresser's 00:14:57.570 --> 00:15:00.029 hair is never done properly, you know? I'm doing 00:15:00.029 --> 00:15:02.289 my roots in the bathroom usually, like my own 00:15:02.289 --> 00:15:05.470 hair. Yeah, well, you know, it's funny you bring 00:15:05.470 --> 00:15:09.929 up hair dye. Here I was, you know, thinking I'm 00:15:09.929 --> 00:15:13.149 going to save money doing my own hair, hair dye. 00:15:13.809 --> 00:15:17.740 And wouldn't you know? I need to buy a whole 00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:21.399 new vanity now because as careful as I try and 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.840 be in my bathroom I have ruined the vanity with 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.039 like spots of hair dye and you don't even realize 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.799 that it hit it until you know three hours later 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.460 and you're like well it oxidizes and it's black 00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:37.100 everywhere yeah so you know I was trying to be 00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:40.740 good and save money and I ruined my vanity top 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:45.120 Yeah, it happens. Believe me, I know. You know, 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.000 another thing about washing, I'll say this quick 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.039 too. I tell my clients who have gray hair, a 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.820 lot of people come to the salon thinking like, 00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:54.700 oh, my hair's dirty. I'm not going to wash it 00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:57.039 because I'm getting it done, which I totally 00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:58.980 understand. And I don't want people to have to 00:15:58.980 --> 00:16:01.200 go through the hassle of doing their hair. But 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.419 I tell my clients with gray hair, I want you 00:16:04.419 --> 00:16:07.879 to come with clean hair. I don't want any powder 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.100 in it, any spray. Even if you come to me, I mean, 00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:12.879 every stylist might say something different, 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.039 but even if you come to me with damp hair, I'll 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:16.600 rough dry it for a couple minutes, but I want 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:21.179 it clean so that color really covers well and 00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:23.379 how it should. Because when people come with 00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:26.580 four or five days of oily buildup, they've worked 00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:29.360 out, like I said, and sweat a couple times. They 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.320 have powder to cover the grays because they had 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.860 a meeting. Like, the color is not going to be 00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:36.559 able to break through all that. So clean hair, 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.019 too, when you go to a stylist, they will thank 00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:43.080 you. Highly recommend. Yeah, that makes total 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.539 sense when you think about it. It's not going 00:16:45.539 --> 00:16:48.039 to grab on to anything. The dirty hair thing 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.960 just really got a little too wild. Yeah, speaking 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:54.360 of though, we're going to take a quick, quick, 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.500 tiny break, wash out this hair mask, and then 00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:57.919 we're going to tell you all about it. Hopefully, 00:16:58.220 --> 00:17:02.980 really great news. So just hang on real quick. 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:17.250 We'll be right back, OK? Okay, so thankfully 00:17:17.250 --> 00:17:20.410 for editing because that took about 45 minutes 00:17:20.410 --> 00:17:27.329 Oh my god And that was not cool Not that was 00:17:27.329 --> 00:17:31.630 an experience It did not go well It did not go 00:17:31.630 --> 00:17:36.470 well Holy holy shit what I don't I don't okay. 00:17:36.569 --> 00:17:38.529 We'll see what happens like we didn't blow -dried 00:17:38.529 --> 00:17:43.700 or anything, but oh My god, I ran out Yeah, whole 00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:49.240 chunks. I still have chunks in my hair. It's 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.259 like never ending. And then get this, right before 00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:54.920 we rinse it out, I read, use lukewarm so you 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.359 don't cook the egg. And I was like, oh my God, 00:17:57.380 --> 00:17:59.220 I didn't even think about that. Like the hot 00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:02.740 water could actually cook the egg. I might have 00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:05.119 had a little bit of fried egg on my hair right 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.059 now. I don't know. It's maybe a little scrambly 00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:11.339 in our hair right now. Maybe we should have blended 00:18:11.339 --> 00:18:14.299 it, like in a blender. I don't know. Maybe we 00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:18.279 didn't read it right. Well, yeah. It looks like 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.960 I have lice right now, to be honest. I think 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.500 we're going to have to re -wash and blow out 00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:26.440 and then let people know. But that maybe wasn't 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.700 our finest hour there. No. Yeah. That was quite 00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:34.539 a freaking job. With a fine -tooth comb. Thank 00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:37.150 god you had that. Yeah, the fine -tooth comb 00:18:37.150 --> 00:18:40.049 really came in handy because I mean I I washed 00:18:40.049 --> 00:18:42.750 my hair twice already and I can still see chunks 00:18:42.750 --> 00:18:45.950 of banana So, I don't know. I mean, hopefully 00:18:45.950 --> 00:18:48.309 I don't wake up with moldy rotten food in my 00:18:48.309 --> 00:18:52.869 hair Trying to get it to be shiny.

I never thought of it that way that yeah, 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:47.779 okay, so That's personally what I do and that 00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:49.660 works out good for me again Even if it's air 00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:51.480 -dried and I have it like in a low bun or something 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.180 for two three days I will still put that drop 00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:57.900 of oil and I'm telling you guys got to try that. 00:20:57.900 --> 00:21:00.359 That's one of my favorite tips. I'm definitely 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.019 Getting down with the oil for sure. Now, I know 00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:06.380 I said in previous episodes that I go to bed 00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:10.019 with wet hair. Is there like an okay way to do 00:21:10.019 --> 00:21:13.660 that? Like what's the best hairstyle to like 00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:15.599 help me out, make me feel like it's okay? Help, 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.740 yes. What's the best hairstyle to sleep in? You 00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:22.700 know, can I go to bed with a hair mask on? All 00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:23.960 right, let's start with going to bed with wet 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:30.029 hair. Okay. One of the best would be Braid to 00:21:30.029 --> 00:21:33.069 sleep in like like a loose braid If your hair 00:21:33.069 --> 00:21:35.130 is long enough for that because it won't rub 00:21:35.130 --> 00:21:37.670 on your pillow It kind of keeps the hair a little 00:21:37.670 --> 00:21:39.849 tame and that goes for people with extensions, 00:21:40.109 --> 00:21:41.930 too If your hair is dry like it is good to sleep 00:21:41.930 --> 00:21:44.829 in like a loose braid So it doesn't get too tangly 00:21:44.829 --> 00:21:49.150 or anything like that A loose bun would be fine 00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:51.289 as well. You kind of just we're trying to just 00:21:51.289 --> 00:21:53.750 tame it while you sleep So I've even done like, 00:21:53.829 --> 00:21:55.569 you know flip my head upside down kind of done 00:21:55.569 --> 00:21:57.710 like a little ballerina bun on top of my head 00:21:58.169 --> 00:22:00.049 You know those elastics that look like phone 00:22:00.049 --> 00:22:03.930 cords? Oh, yeah, yeah, those are some of my favorite 00:22:03.930 --> 00:22:07.910 because they don't leave a mark in the hair and 00:22:07.910 --> 00:22:11.450 It's just it's soft. It's kind of it's gentle. 00:22:11.450 --> 00:22:15.009 It's not too tight And so those are good to use 00:22:15.009 --> 00:22:16.589 too when you're if you're gonna go to bed with 00:22:16.589 --> 00:22:18.069 wet hair Obviously you can go to bed and let 00:22:18.069 --> 00:22:21.029 it be wild and crazy. But it's wild and crazy 00:22:21.029 --> 00:22:23.809 Yeah, like I have some I have wavy hair. So sometimes 00:22:23.809 --> 00:22:25.970 I will just do that typically not like soaking 00:22:25.970 --> 00:22:29.220 wet going to bed, but that will give me like 00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:31.599 a little bit of body so that then in the morning 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.940 I can crimp it or throw some curls in it to make 00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:36.220 it look like I did it on purpose. Can you go 00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:39.200 to sleep with a hair mask on? Yes, depending 00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:41.059 on the hair mask that you're using. Absolutely. 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.859 Again, I wouldn't suggest sleeping in a hair 00:22:43.859 --> 00:22:47.359 mask that has protein in it. Even just a good 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:50.180 conditioner. You want to sleep in that? Absolutely. 00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:53.700 Again, throw in a braid, a low loose bun, and 00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:56.819 I would do the hair masks on dry hair. So the 00:22:56.819 --> 00:22:59.819 hair really can kind of soak it up. Okay. And 00:22:59.819 --> 00:23:01.559 then have that next morning be the day you're 00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:05.480 going to wash your hair. Okay. You know, so you'll 00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:07.559 wash it out in the morning and just shampoo condition 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.019 like normal. Okay. Now I've heard things like 00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:14.839 silk pillowcase or even like a head wrap for 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.059 sleeping. Do you think that's necessary or is 00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:20.759 there benefits or pros, cons? Like what's your 00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:23.980 take on that? I would say there's no cons at 00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:26.650 all. A silk pillowcase is great. Think about 00:23:26.650 --> 00:23:28.549 it like slip. It's just gonna, your head's gonna 00:23:28.549 --> 00:23:31.309 glide. If you're like a crazy sleeper, your hair 00:23:31.309 --> 00:23:33.329 is gonna be nice and smooth right against it. 00:23:33.329 --> 00:23:36.130 So if you don't have any problems with your hair 00:23:36.130 --> 00:23:38.549 being crazy or breakage or anything like that, 00:23:38.970 --> 00:23:41.190 I don't think you necessarily need one, but they're 00:23:41.190 --> 00:23:44.009 totally wonderful to have. If you can sleep in 00:23:44.009 --> 00:23:46.450 a bonnet, a silk bonnet, amazing. Some people 00:23:46.450 --> 00:23:48.410 aren't comfortable in them, but they make them 00:23:48.410 --> 00:23:51.210 so wonderful now and they're breathable. So you're 00:23:51.210 --> 00:23:53.920 not. It's just more the comfort of having something 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.099 on your head if you're not used to it, but they're 00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:57.819 great. And a lot of these products these days 00:23:57.819 --> 00:24:00.220 are not expensive. Like you can get them right 00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:02.099 on Amazon. One of our set of sheets, we have 00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:06.799 bamboo sheets and it kind of is like silk pillowcase. 00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:09.960 So that's been great too. Like I don't have to 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.700 change my pillowcase when we are using those 00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:14.829 ones. I've never slept in a bonnet, but I know 00:24:14.829 --> 00:24:18.650 people who do, and their hair has changed drastically. 00:24:18.769 --> 00:24:22.349 Like, it's so nice. Especially if you're a bleached, 00:24:22.349 --> 00:24:24.809 you know, highlight, or a balayage, or pretty 00:24:24.809 --> 00:24:28.990 blonde, it can do wonders. The hair's brittle 00:24:28.990 --> 00:24:31.670 when you have a lot of bleach in it. So a pillowcase, 00:24:31.809 --> 00:24:35.150 or a wrap, or a bonnet is amazing. I might try 00:24:35.150 --> 00:24:37.230 the bonnet, because I have brittle hair, you 00:24:37.230 --> 00:24:40.410 know, I'm brunette. Yeah, I mean, and like... 00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:42.200 I've said, I think this is the third time I'm 00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:44.460 saying it, but same, my hair's coarse, but I've 00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:47.200 just never used it. I'm sure it would be great 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.279 for my hair. I'm gonna look like Little House 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.680 on the Prairie. It's really gonna, Steve's gonna 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:53.140 be like, hey. Yeah, it's your hair. It'll be 00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:56.240 shiny and amazing. Yeah, I love that. I love 00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:57.920 a silk pillowcase. I think that's a great idea. 00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:00.680 Good, good, good, good. Speaking of dyed hair 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:05.539 again, how long do I go? Like, cause me, I have 00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:09.779 gray hair and I have dark hair. So I've been... 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.880 noticing like every three weeks, it looks like 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.579 I have to redo it. Like, what's your suggestion 00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:19.079 on, you know, how long should you be waiting 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:21.779 in between hair dyes and or what is the shortest 00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:26.000 amount of time safe to do hair, you know, hair 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.380 dye? Again, each stylist might say something 00:25:29.380 --> 00:25:32.299 different, but I like to try and keep people 00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:36.519 at like three or four weeks. Like, I don't love 00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:39.900 To do a two -week, it is a lot of chemicals. 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.859 It works, it's fine. Some people who are really, 00:25:42.859 --> 00:25:45.319 really white, they can, you know, you can see 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.420 your gray hair in two weeks for sure. But it 00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:50.259 is a lot of chemicals on the body and your scalp 00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:53.539 does take them in. Your skin's your biggest organ 00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:56.019 and I think a lot of people don't think about 00:25:56.019 --> 00:26:00.180 their scalp as skin. But it is. It's just covered 00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:03.319 by hair. So anything you put on there, shampoo, 00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:04.839 everything, you really want to check on your 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.339 products. I know that there are some lines that 00:26:08.339 --> 00:26:11.079 claim to be organic or very, very clean. And 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.200 I am totally behind that. But I haven't done 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:17.660 a lot of research on it. But there's something 00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:21.200 else in there that's, you know, maybe they're 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.140 not using peroxide. But what is the ingredient 00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:28.349 that they're using to lift the hair? Again, I 00:26:28.349 --> 00:26:30.170 can't really talk to that because I don't know 00:26:30.170 --> 00:26:34.109 too much about it. But the color companies have 00:26:34.109 --> 00:26:37.049 come a long way in removing products that are 00:26:37.049 --> 00:26:40.390 very dangerous. But yeah, I try to push people 00:26:40.390 --> 00:26:45.970 to four if they can do it. Some people will use, 00:26:46.009 --> 00:26:48.470 like I mentioned before, there's special powders 00:26:48.470 --> 00:26:51.269 and sprays that we can use to kind of cover up 00:26:51.269 --> 00:26:53.910 those spots for the last week or two. You have 00:26:53.910 --> 00:26:56.359 to go out or you have you know something for 00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.400 work or an event and they really do work amazing 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:02.819 to cover the hair and a lot of them like even 00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:04.319 if you got your hair wet you were in the pool 00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.259 or you got stuck in the rain it's not gonna like 00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:09.759 drip down your face. They really won't come out 00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:12.920 unless you shampoo and that's why I always suggest 00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:14.920 that my clients come in with clean hair because 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:17.660 if they do use those powders it's not coming 00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:19.940 off their hair unless they actually wash it out. 00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.880 and I don't have time to wash their hair and 00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.240 then color it. But yeah, I would say four weeks 00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.599 is what I suggest. I go four weeks for my hair 00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.299 typically, and it shows. But if I can push it 00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:32.119 to five, I don't have anything to do, and I don't 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.660 care who's seen it, then I go as long as I can. 00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:39.559 Yeah. I've been... kind of pushing myself, unless 00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.200 it's like an event or a wedding or somewhere, 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:44.380 then make sure it's definitely. But yeah, those 00:27:44.380 --> 00:27:47.140 powders absolutely work. They're so great. And 00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:50.220 this is for people with gray hair. If you don't 00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:53.819 have gray hair, I mean, the lived in, quote unquote, 00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:56.240 lived in looks right now are so popular because 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.019 people can get months out of their hair color. 00:28:00.619 --> 00:28:02.640 The highlights aren't typically to the root. 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.119 We do these blending techniques now where maybe 00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:09.160 in Eight or ten weeks you want a couple highlights 00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.380 around the face, but everything just grows out 00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:14.940 so nice So it just depends on what? You know 00:28:14.940 --> 00:28:16.900 if you have great hair or not really how often 00:28:16.900 --> 00:28:19.039 you have to be coming all right So what about 00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.160 like is there anything that I could take? To 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.920 make my hair grow or you know I feel like ever 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:28.619 since I had kids my hair has just been like totally 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.539 Just a whole other entity, you know, it was like 00:28:32.539 --> 00:28:35.339 my hair before kids my hair after kids What are 00:28:35.339 --> 00:28:38.960 like vitamins or supplements? I started that 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:43.700 Live conscious collagen. I love it. It tastes 00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:47.519 amazing. You got me hooked on that. Yep Yeah, 00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:49.980 I I think collagen is huge. It's really great 00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:52.220 hair skin and nails. So a lot of the things that 00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:55.079 are good for your hair Vitamin -wise are also 00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.880 good for other parts of your body Your hair, 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:00.319 skin, and nails is made up of protein, so the 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:01.900 collagen is great because you get a little bit 00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:04.160 of extra protein with that, too. So I think the 00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.799 one most people know is biotin, obviously. That's 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.640 just the main one people think about when they 00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.500 think about their hair and health. I mean, basic, 00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:15.940 a good multivitamin, like a real good multivitamin, 00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.900 because it's going to have all the essential 00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:20.920 things that you need. But just some basic vitamins 00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.319 that are good for hair would be biotin, iron. 00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:26.539 collagen, omega -3. If you're having problems 00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:29.400 with brittleness, I would say, you know, up your 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.559 water, which Carly has been doing, everybody, 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:35.680 but... I have been. Up your water hydration is 00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:40.299 huge. If you are feeling like you are having 00:29:40.299 --> 00:29:44.140 hair loss, which is common, and people come in 00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:46.720 with that problem, you know, once we get to a 00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:50.480 certain age too, I always suggest getting some 00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.829 blood work. because something's going on. If 00:29:53.829 --> 00:29:56.329 that's not your normal, something's up. And it 00:29:56.329 --> 00:29:58.430 could be as simple as that you're just sufficient 00:29:58.430 --> 00:30:00.910 in a vitamin, but I always suggest blood work 00:30:00.910 --> 00:30:05.049 and like a thyroid panel because the thyroid 00:30:05.049 --> 00:30:08.549 has a lot to do with your hair. And there's a 00:30:08.549 --> 00:30:12.470 bunch of tests within thyroid testing. So just 00:30:12.470 --> 00:30:15.609 make sure the doctor does an extensive test because 00:30:15.609 --> 00:30:18.089 your levels might look okay, but like if they... 00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:19.759 dug a little deeper, you might be off in your 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:25.220 T3 or T4. So I definitely tell people to do that. 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:28.299 And most people are well aware of that. Some 00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:30.920 people go to the dermatologist. I think just 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.960 your basic doctor is a little bit better, just 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:36.880 because you can get maybe some more blood work 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.880 written up. Well, I remember too, even stress 00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.400 or something traumatic. would make you lose your 00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.819 hair. And it might not be sudden. It could be 00:30:46.819 --> 00:30:48.200 a few months later, all of a sudden you're losing 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:49.299 your hair. Oh, yeah. It could take up to seven 00:30:49.299 --> 00:30:52.019 months. Seven months, yeah, is what they say, 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.039 for that to kind of come out. And you might forget, 00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:56.460 like, I don't know why I'm losing my hair. And 00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:58.819 then it's like, oh, yeah, but you had that terrible 00:30:58.819 --> 00:31:01.259 car accident, or you lost a parent. And it might 00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:04.440 have been five months ago or four months ago. 00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.220 Or it could happen very soon after a stressful 00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:12.150 thing, a surgery. We have clients who will like 00:31:12.150 --> 00:31:15.009 I said, have a surgery and their hair just feels 00:31:15.009 --> 00:31:17.369 kind of yucky. But anesthesia will do a number 00:31:17.369 --> 00:31:22.130 on people too. There's a lot of factors that 00:31:22.130 --> 00:31:26.509 you have to take in. But yeah, I definitely recommend 00:31:26.509 --> 00:31:30.089 you got to take care of yourself and be your 00:31:30.089 --> 00:31:33.210 biggest advocate. So get to the doctor, get some 00:31:33.210 --> 00:31:35.529 blood work. And sometimes that plays a role in 00:31:35.529 --> 00:31:39.410 a lot of things. Yeah. And if you're taking the 00:31:39.819 --> 00:31:42.539 you know, the collagen or anything like that. 00:31:42.660 --> 00:31:45.740 I am totally obsessed. It goes hand in hand with 00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:48.420 my layered coffee. Like it's got 19 amino acids. 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.059 It's got, it's good for your bones, your skin, 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:54.059 your hair, your nails. It's incredible. Yeah. 00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:57.359 People like put it in anything. You could make 00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.240 muffins with it. Like you could really throw 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:00.920 the collagen in a lot of things, which is pretty 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:04.380 cool. A little boost of protein. So good. So 00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:08.559 I also, back to scalp health, my dermatologist 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.970 who I do have some psoriasis on my scalp, which 00:32:12.970 --> 00:32:16.509 is not fun. But one thing that they told me and 00:32:16.509 --> 00:32:18.009 I thought I'd share, because I think a lot of 00:32:18.009 --> 00:32:23.309 people deal with dandruff or itchy scalp or something 00:32:23.309 --> 00:32:25.009 uncomfortable, and that's never fun to feel like 00:32:25.009 --> 00:32:27.769 you have flakes in your hair, that they had told 00:32:27.769 --> 00:32:30.349 me, and I do share this with clients. Of course, 00:32:30.450 --> 00:32:32.490 it depends on the products that you're using. 00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:35.160 you might have to switch up, you know, what's 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:37.240 going on. But if you're running into a problem 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.920 with anything scalp health -wise, they had suggested, 00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:43.039 it's kind of just like a basic rule of thumb. 00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.559 So the three shampoos, these are store bought, 00:32:46.579 --> 00:32:49.400 like you can get them at CVS grocery store. Head 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:53.200 and shoulders, because it has zinc in it. Neutrogena 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:55.740 tea gel, which smells terrible, but it does work. 00:32:55.980 --> 00:33:01.059 It has tar in it. And then selsun blue. has sulfur. 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:03.519 And those three things are really great if you 00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:08.359 have a flare up of dandruff or psoriasis, eczema, 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.640 anything like that on your scalp. And so what 00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:13.759 I would do is I would rotate through those with 00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:17.859 still using my good quality salon products. But 00:33:17.859 --> 00:33:20.960 once a week or once every other week, depending 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.079 on how often I was shampooing, I would use these 00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:26.619 products. and it helped so much. So I would like 00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:28.299 buy Head and Shoulders, go through the bottle, 00:33:28.380 --> 00:33:30.740 then I'd buy the Neutrogena Tea Gel, go through 00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:32.940 that bottle, Seltzer and Blue, you know. So it'd 00:33:32.940 --> 00:33:35.660 take months, but it really did help with scalp 00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:39.059 health. So if you can't get to a dermatologist, 00:33:39.099 --> 00:33:41.059 but you're having these issues, I do recommend 00:33:41.059 --> 00:33:43.559 that. If you're blonde, the Neutrogena Tea Gel 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.700 probably wouldn't be great because it is brown. 00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:49.509 So the other shampoos would be fine. A list of 00:33:49.509 --> 00:33:51.549 products too. I wanted to go for just a few products 00:33:51.549 --> 00:33:53.750 and a little fun app that I have. So some of 00:33:53.750 --> 00:33:57.250 the products we use in my salon anyway, which 00:33:57.250 --> 00:34:00.589 are great. And I ran them through this specific 00:34:00.589 --> 00:34:05.309 app. It's called the Yuca app, Y -U -K -A. I 00:34:05.309 --> 00:34:08.210 got it for like groceries so I could look at 00:34:08.210 --> 00:34:09.929 different products and what was in them for my 00:34:09.929 --> 00:34:12.809 family. And they have a beauty side to it. Now 00:34:12.809 --> 00:34:18.019 two, I do pay for the app. I think it's like 00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:20.860 $7 .99 a month so that I can just type in whatever 00:34:20.860 --> 00:34:23.199 I want to look up. So even if I'm not at a store, 00:34:23.579 --> 00:34:25.460 I can just type in anything, kind of see what's 00:34:25.460 --> 00:34:27.800 in it. There's also, you don't have to pay for 00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:29.619 it. And then it would just be like a scanner. 00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:33.360 Like you could scan the barcodes and it will 00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:36.219 give you information on the product and or food. 00:34:36.260 --> 00:34:40.219 So this goes for both. So the products that we 00:34:40.219 --> 00:34:41.659 use at the salon right now, I ran them through 00:34:41.659 --> 00:34:45.989 the Yuca app and these are all ranked good. There's 00:34:45.989 --> 00:34:47.869 some that are excellent, but we'll rank them 00:34:47.869 --> 00:34:51.170 like excellent, good, bad, very bad. And it's 00:34:51.170 --> 00:34:53.510 like a scale from zero to 100. So you can kind 00:34:53.510 --> 00:34:56.650 of see. But my salon is a chair rental salon. 00:34:56.769 --> 00:34:58.730 So everyone is independent there. But these are 00:34:58.730 --> 00:35:02.510 some of the products that we use. Wella, MONAT, 00:35:02.809 --> 00:35:08.010 K18, ColorWow, Milkshake, Moroccanoil, Redken, 00:35:08.730 --> 00:35:13.300 and Karastas. These ones seem to be ranked pretty 00:35:13.300 --> 00:35:15.800 well in there. So that's good to know too, because 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:18.280 like I said, your skin is your biggest organ. 00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:22.079 So your scalp is part of that. And I don't think 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.719 people fully get that. You know, you think it's 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:26.500 just like, oh, it's just my hair. It's just on 00:35:26.500 --> 00:35:29.320 the ends, you know? No, because it's going in 00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:33.679 near your brain, in your head. So yeah. So just 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:35.619 be, you know, cautious if you're, if you're interested 00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:38.559 in certain products and what, you know, the ingredients 00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:41.619 are and stuff that you get app is awesome. I 00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:46.300 highly recommend that, too. Yeah. Great. But 00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:50.340 I think, I don't know, is that good? You got 00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:52.980 me ready, and I look great, except for my banana 00:35:52.980 --> 00:35:57.360 flakes. Well, girl, I got them, too. You're going 00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:01.159 to have to help me. I know. So we got to go to 00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:05.820 get this third wash. Hopefully, it's going to 00:36:05.820 --> 00:36:07.639 be the best treatment we've ever used. It was 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:09.860 just a little difficult to get out. Yeah, no 00:36:09.860 --> 00:36:13.179 kidding. If you guys have any questions, DM us 00:36:13.179 --> 00:36:16.980 on Instagram. Yes, follow us on Instagram.
