would these tips work for a black person... lol! or should i perm my hair and then follow the steps or should i stay natural and follow the steps..... if i stay natural, my hair would be lookin a HOT MESS!!! lmao, but i really want to know so comment soon plzzzzz!
You seem to have a lot of common sense, I like that. My hair is down to the crease of my bottom and I have to agree with you! If you want it to grow you have to treat it like you want it around. I never bleach my hair, it is a terrible process. I wash it every two days and I don't ripp my brush through it. I put rosemary water (just boiled rosemay that I strain) in it to help my scalp and I maintaine the tips by trimming them myself.
I think you are spot on with your advice, take care!
@lilymel03 I've heard that one before and I have addressed it. My hair is not a super hero. If I mistreated it, it would be frizzy and not as healthy. I am not saying do this and have HAIR LIKE ME. I am saying be nice to your hair, and it will be healthy. That's it.
@lilymel03 shes right i used to shampoo and condition every day and my hair wuz getting more dry hair.. which wuz like woah.. once i started shampooing and conditioning like every week my hair now is shinnnnnny and smooth soft and silky so its getting better now and i start cuting my hair and i have wavy hair which usually gets dryer faster if you dont take care of it... but trust me whether you have coarse hair thin hair taking care of it will help
Omq I Really Like Yur Opinion On Hair There's been So Many Things I Tryed For My Hair So It Can Get Long And Heathly But Nothinq Seems To Work But Now That I Hurd Yur Opinion It Make Since. I Always Had My Hair Long But Ever Since I Cut My Hair Short Cuz Of My Dead Ends It Hasnt Grown Like Befor.. I Just Want To Say That Yur A Life Saver Of My Hair lol..... ^_^
Do you have any natural at home recipes to deep condition long hair. I am very chemically sensitive. I have lots of health problems and once did a full body soak in Epson salts. Huge mistake!! really ruien my Hair. I am a locks of love donor for 12 years now and this made me so sad to have ruined my hair which I have taken such good care of.
when i was little i used to have long naturally wavy soft hair. i started using heat and chemicals and now my hair is brittle and never soft. no matter what. ive trimmed my hair but it grows back dry:( i try limiting heat but with out it my hair frizzes. any ideas or suggestions?
I agree, you don't need salon hair care. All you need is nutritious products, organic products! This way you are really nourishing your hair and you are using really small amount of products, so not bad for the wallet either. And healthy hair means less care and more beauty ;-)
your hair is so pretty. i did the dumb thing and chopped mine off during the summer. anyway i went to a new hairstylist and she said sometimes stylist use these razor-type scissors to create layers on your hair and in the long run your hair will look like you have split ends. she said the best way to go if your gonna have layers is to use a straight-edge scissors..... just a tip!
dark haircolors such as black have alot of pigment in them, eg. blonde hair has little pigment, dark hair is stronger than light hair. also coloring your hair light means lifting your natural shade, darker color deposits only so its much better for your hair :) professional hairstylist also growing my hair,
my hair is long, but it gets really dry...i always get layers in my hair...i see you don't have any....I get spit ends all over...i do not color my hair...I have to dye my hair, everyday..my hair gets frizzy.......I am trying to use your tips..thanks..
hair feels healthier after dying it dark rather than light because dark hair dye will literally coat the hair (hence, it also has potential to fade if over washed), whereas light hair dye actually strips the hair. that's why a lot of platinum blonds seem to have more damaged and dried out locks than the raven-haired brunettes. ;) it's just a lil hair-health secret of mine. enjoy!
i dont know if anyone answered this, but it's healthier when you go darker because it doesn't strip your hair. which is what going lighter does it strips your color and oils away.
easier than that....use mustard seed oil and lemon...heat oil mix lil lemon...stir until thick apply to hair leave for as long as u can..works so well. promise.
It reaIIy depends on the kind of hat youre wearing, wooI hats arent good for youre hair because for some reason it makes your hair faII out, if you decided to aIways wear a hat, make sure its a hat that has Iining in it
i have huge puffy curly hair. i have no idea why, but i started doing these steps and it calms your hair down alot.
1. rince your hair in cold water 2. add shampoo, but only rub on your scalp(it will still clean your hair, as the shampoo is rinced it grabs all the dirt on the way) 3.rince in warm water 4. add conditioner 5. rince with cold water then comb your hair verry gently and add your favorite products
I really hope someone can answer my question, or even you, Iris: does anyone know if using tresemme hair and styling products can stop your hair from growing? Or if hair styling products are bad for hair growth period?
Please answer with a reply back, I've been searching for some kind of feedback and haven't been very successful =[
You have gorgeous hair,and it looks very thick and resilient. I agree with many of your tips on how to keep hair healthy.
However, I think your beautiful hair is really due to your good genes.
Some women just have strong hair that can grow very long and remain healthy looking. I have friends that dye the hell out of their hair and they still have long healthy shiny hair whereas my hair is naturally weaker and shows damage more prominently even if I take all the steps to care for it.
your hair appears healthier when you go darker because its deposit only and it doesnt have to lift levels to go lighter : ) but you can also try demi permanents and for the question below the best brush to use is a natural bristle brush : )
Hi! The main reason why dying hair a darker color makes your hair look helathier is because when going lighter your stripping color off your hair which takes a lot of chemicals to do, and when going darker your depositing color.
Hi Iris well the reason why dark dyes are healthier is because darker dyes don't contain bleach or any chemicals to break down color but darker dyes have a protein like structure that makes the hair look healthier. But ever so still dyes of all types should be avoided. Thank you for all of these tips!
your hair is absolutely gorgeous, you should be a hair model- Pantene NEEDS you lol! as for colouring the hair - lightening hair usually requires a bleach mixture- which draws out the natural underlying pigment from the hair strands and colouring it dark with a dye ADDS to the hairshafts with colour pigment hence why it is slightly more healthier for your hair. permanent dyes still contain peroxide though which is damaging so stick with semis and temporary dyes for the healthiest hair possible.
the reason hair does not feel damaged when you dye it black is because when you dye it dark you are putting pigment into your hair, whereas when you dye it light, you are taking pigment out. Highlights merely bleach out hair and dry it. Darkening hair just saturated it with pigment and coats the hairshaft making it feel smoother.
so how can yu help me, i want my hair jus like yurs.. but i have curly hair and i blow dry it everyday... i dont want it curly i like it a little more tamed and straight like yurs..
so how can yu help me, if i have really course curly hair but i like having it more like yurs..therefore, i blow dry n straighten it way too often, because i dont like it any other way... ?
Well If you bleached your hair to get it blonde then thats why it got so damaged. Highlights have the same affect, these are worse for your hair then typical dyes. Depends on the pink if its a typical or a veg based...I used Stargazer or Manic Panic which are both practically food colouring with conditioner - bright colours, no animal-testing, vegan, and best for your hair (Y) :)
i have long hair, but im oriental, so its naturally dead straight, all i have to do is wash it every other day and its good, but thnx so much for the video, its taught me a lot <3
COLORING, your hair, is damaging regardless of color.. where it's true that using lightener will damage your hair because it breaks down bonds nin your hair, depositing color is still damaging, as you are still using chemicals..
They both have chemicals, true, but one is actually altering the pigment in your hair, while the other is just coloring over the top, the chemicals in the darker dye are just used for the staying power, not actually altering the hair, its like dying a white shirt, vs bleaching a color shirt, leave it in the bleach too long, and you will end up with holes in it, leave it in the dye too long, and you really only get a darker color, the dye doesn't hurt it, its the setting chemicals that do
i have a question, i'm not sure which vid it was, but you said you shouldn't use alot of products in your hair, does that include leaving conditioner, and smoothing serum?
hey there:)I wanna ask you a question, my hair is healthy and tall, blonde too. but my problem is: I am scary to lose the beauty and the shiny of my hair, so how do we keep our hair look healthy like now? thanks:D I am 18 yeras old, from texas lol thx
i have hair just past my waist and i do alomost the same routin as you but my hair still is realy thin and easy to breack and i have NEVER died my hair i have only straitened it 4 times in my life but i only wash and conition it once a week. any sugestions y it is so thin and how to get it thicker?
Since Summer is coming, I'll start swimming soon. Would it be best to go swimming, then put a conditioning mask on it? And also, I have to flat iron Monday - Friday, but I don't on weekends, because I have to go to school, but I stay away from dyes and blow dryers as well, and i'm using the Pantene Pro-V Restoritive line, and I also drink a glass of milk every night. Will my hair still grow? It's not right now, and i'm trying to grow it long, so please get back to me!
I have a very long hair and it's very dry... I tried to stay away with color but I can't becoz I have my gray hair at such a young age and I don't like it when the gray hairs are coming out so I had to dye them every four weeks... what should I do to stay away with colors?
My mother was dealing with lifeless hair, so bought her a Biotin vitamin supplement -- I think it's a type of B-Vitamin. What a difference it made -- hair grew faster and seemed much softer. It has also helped with nail growth.
Not a spammer, so no brands being mentioned. Give it a try - BIOTIN -- 2.8 mg a day will suffice. Visit you local drugstore or grocery store - make sure it's made in the USA.
I absolutely love ally our videos :] I just cut my horrible damaged hair into a bob to make it healthy again, and I'm going to use your tips to hopefully make my hair beautiful again :]
the tips you gave us were really good but you said to stay away from heat as much as possible my hair has REALLY tight curls in the scalp section and from there down its straight i wash, condition, and use a deep conditioning mask for my hair once a week and let it air dry and i flat iron it because if i don't my hair looks really frizzy and dry and i get alittle frizzy Afro which is not sexy!! if i don't flat iron it what can i do then to maintain it with out ironing it every week?
Actually forevasweet, I have curly hair and I dye it to cover early grayhairs; I keep it mpoisturised rubbing coconut oil or olive oil (just a drop or two) on wet hair and leave it until i wash it again.
also, before shampooing I apply conditioner and THEN without rinsing, I aplly shampoo and wash it as usual. then apply moisturise again. I have shiny healthy hair :)
That's actually good because I heard that when you wash your hair every day, it helps to make your hair "dirty" (like put a conditioner in first) before you shampoo so that your hair isn't actually being stripped.
When you dye your hair a darker colour you are actually filling the hair shaft..when you lighten it you are stripping colour out of the hair shaft - thus making it more fragile. :) Avocado oil is very good for lightened hair! :)
its healthier when u dye it darker rather than when you dye it lighter its because when you dye it lighter you use some sort of bleach to make it lighter so ur hair would become the lighter color
Well for your question, I've dyed my hair all colors so hair stylists have told me when I dye it darker it's better also. This is b/c you are only adding dye on top of your hair and not stripping it of it's natural oils and coloring.
i was starting to grow out my hair back in early september. it was about mid length, a little below the shoulders, but then i gave up and got a cute short cut. im gonna start growing it out again, but properly. I use a conditioner that helps my hair prevent split ends
Im trying to grow my hair back from a stupid stage i went through when i was younger... i had gorgeous healthy hair down just a bit above my butt, haha but i cut it very short and this helps :)
my friends said that if you rub baby oil in ur hair then your hair will fall off or somthin like that. thats why i stopped putting baby oil in my hair
do you drink alchohol, beer or wine or spirits? do you avoid it...or do you drink it occasionaly if so how often? and if not do you completely stay away from it? I love to drink but i want healthy hair...
& the reason darkening your hair is healthier for it is because you're merely adding colour, rather than harshly stripping it away via bleach, peroxide, etc.
How about you stop caring about getting "beautiful locks" and go contribute the money you spend on expensive shampoo, conditioners, make up, and other products to save some animal lives or two. Give it to a child abuse foundation, ever read "A Child Called It?"
I want you to know though, that I do contribute a portion of my income to charities. I normally don't like to discuss the fact that I donate, because it's distasteful, but you have brought up the topic.
I also would like to say that if you would have watched my video (just the beginning) you would have heard that I said having beautiful hair was not about the products you use, but how you treat your hair.
Besides the monetary donations that I make, as you can see, I also donate my time to give away all of the information that I know about beauty. Not all people can afford to seek a professional's help about the information I am able to give away. Some women have used my channel to save money on their wedding hairdos for example. What a difference I have made in someone's life ^__^
I do agree with you that more people should donate to charities and foundations, such as the one you listed. I don't, however; agree that we shouldn't worry about our "beautiful locks." Most of us here are ladies and we are more than capable of multitasking with ease ^__^
Why are you watching her video if you're just gonna put her down? That was probably the most random comment i have ever seen...I dont ever recall hearing her say she uses expensive hair products
How did you do your hair here? I have long healthy and strong hair, but it is diffucult to give it nice volume in the top, because it is so heavy. How do you do that? I use a volume shampoo, and it is working but not for long... please give me ideas. Thank you
Your hair's GORGEOUS!! I have naturally dark hair (since I am Asian) and like to keep it that way. I dye my hair blue black about every 4 weeks because of my unsightly Greys...:( That's the downside of having dark dark hair 'cuz greys show up so prominently.
You mentioned swimming, I also read that before you go into the pool you should go ahead and wet your hair with water first and that will decrease the amount of chlorine that your hair will absorb. I also put a little conditioner in as well. I have very curly hair so it can be pretty spongy at times and this tip has helped me a lot. By the way I love watching your 1940's hair video I really want to try it on myself soon:)
I use to straighten my everyday my ends were fried, thanks to your video I did cut off most of my hair off so I can start all over my hair is up to my ears and I cant wait for it to grow out! it looks healthier and I am taking good care of my hair this time! you are amazing and very inspirational..thankyou!
Lightening your hair is stripping it of its pigment, as opposed to darkening, where you are actually depositing pigment into the hair shaft =) that is why darker is better!
my hair doesnt grow, i have a pretty healthy diet, get enough sleep, and get my hair regularly trimmed, but it still doesnt grow, i dont use any hair, i stopped that months ago, but my hair still hasn't grown, can you please help? i also have alot of layers that im trying to grow out and my hair is only 2 inches below my shoulder and is extremely thick, its really wavy and frizzy, i cant stand it :(:(:(:(
i wish i had ur hair

smplyirrizistable 2 years ago
I don't think it's bad. But it makes your hair getting greasy a lot faster. Because you sweat under a hat.
sbiiine 2 years ago
i came across this.
Protect your hair from the Sun. Ultraviolet rays can be as damaging to your hair as your skin.
Wear a hat. If your hair is super long and/or thick, be sure to get a hat that you will be able to fit all your hair into (preferably in a bun).
Look for conditioners that contain sunscreen or mix sunscreen and conditioner together and leave that in your hair.
so wearing a hat isn't a bad thing. its not like u wear it indoors.

it is better when u dye your hair dark than other colors!
i used to have blonde,then pink,then brown,high lights!
an my hair was really really damage!
and i dye it black and looks healthier and better!
REALpinkdiva 2 years ago
Well If you bleached your hair to get it blonde then thats why it got so damaged. Highlights have the same affect, these are worse for your hair then typical dyes. Depends on the pink if its a typical or a veg based...I used Stargazer or Manic Panic which are both practically food colouring with conditioner - bright colours, no animal-testing, vegan, and best for your hair (Y) :)

because dying your hair lighter at all uses bleach and peroxide which kills your hair, dying darker doesn't use any bad chemicals
kongabeatz 2 years ago
COLORING, your hair, is damaging regardless of color.. where it's true that using lightener will damage your hair because it breaks down bonds nin your hair, depositing color is still damaging, as you are still using chemicals..
princessmpa 2 years ago
Colouring with chemicals, you mean. Colouring with natural dyes is not damaging.
meoncemore 2 years ago
They both have chemicals, true, but one is actually altering the pigment in your hair, while the other is just coloring over the top, the chemicals in the darker dye are just used for the staying power, not actually altering the hair, its like dying a white shirt, vs bleaching a color shirt, leave it in the bleach too long, and you will end up with holes in it, leave it in the dye too long, and you really only get a darker color, the dye doesn't hurt it, its the setting chemicals that do

Since Summer is coming, I'll start swimming soon. Would it be best to go swimming, then put a conditioning mask on it? And also, I have to flat iron Monday - Friday, but I don't on weekends, because I have to go to school, but I stay away from dyes and blow dryers as well, and i'm using the Pantene Pro-V Restoritive line, and I also drink a glass of milk every night. Will my hair still grow? It's not right now, and i'm trying to grow it long, so please get back to me!

I have a very long hair and it's very dry... I tried to stay away with color but I can't becoz I have my gray hair at such a young age and I don't like it when the gray hairs are coming out so I had to dye them every four weeks... what should I do to stay away with colors?
beautybambie 2 years ago
You should do it a darker color, because it's not as harsh as lighter blondes. Using hair color is okay, it's just important to deep condition.

You could use henna and indigo to colour your hair. Henna is especially good for the hair

My mother was dealing with lifeless hair, so bought her a Biotin vitamin supplement -- I think it's a type of B-Vitamin. What a difference it made -- hair grew faster and seemed much softer. It has also helped with nail growth.
Not a spammer, so no brands being mentioned. Give it a try - BIOTIN -- 2.8 mg a day will suffice. Visit you local drugstore or grocery store - make sure it's made in the USA.

the tips you gave us were really good but you said to stay away from heat as much as possible my hair has REALLY tight curls in the scalp section and from there down its straight i wash, condition, and use a deep conditioning mask for my hair once a week and let it air dry and i flat iron it because if i don't my hair looks really frizzy and dry and i get alittle frizzy Afro which is not sexy!! if i don't flat iron it what can i do then to maintain it with out ironing it every week?

Actually forevasweet, I have curly hair and I dye it to cover early grayhairs; I keep it mpoisturised rubbing coconut oil or olive oil (just a drop or two) on wet hair and leave it until i wash it again.
also, before shampooing I apply conditioner and THEN without rinsing, I aplly shampoo and wash it as usual. then apply moisturise again. I have shiny healthy hair :)
molaina 3 years ago
That's actually good because I heard that when you wash your hair every day, it helps to make your hair "dirty" (like put a conditioner in first) before you shampoo so that your hair isn't actually being stripped.
kraixinxthexdark 3 years ago
When you dye your hair a darker colour you are actually filling the hair shaft..when you lighten it you are stripping colour out of the hair shaft - thus making it more fragile. :) Avocado oil is very good for lightened hair! :)
GeireK 3 years ago 3
its healthier when u dye it darker rather than when you dye it lighter its because when you dye it lighter you use some sort of bleach to make it lighter so ur hair would become the lighter color

Well for your question, I've dyed my hair all colors so hair stylists have told me when I dye it darker it's better also. This is b/c you are only adding dye on top of your hair and not stripping it of it's natural oils and coloring.

& the reason darkening your hair is healthier for it is because you're merely adding colour, rather than harshly stripping it away via bleach, peroxide, etc.

How about you stop caring about getting "beautiful locks" and go contribute the money you spend on expensive shampoo, conditioners, make up, and other products to save some animal lives or two. Give it to a child abuse foundation, ever read "A Child Called It?"

attackthebonbons-
Thank you for the advice.
I want you to know though, that I do contribute a portion of my income to charities. I normally don't like to discuss the fact that I donate, because it's distasteful, but you have brought up the topic.
I also would like to say that if you would have watched my video (just the beginning) you would have heard that I said having beautiful hair was not about the products you use, but how you treat your hair.
ilovegerardo 3 years ago
Besides the monetary donations that I make, as you can see, I also donate my time to give away all of the information that I know about beauty. Not all people can afford to seek a professional's help about the information I am able to give away. Some women have used my channel to save money on their wedding hairdos for example. What a difference I have made in someone's life ^__^
ilovegerardo 3 years ago
I do agree with you that more people should donate to charities and foundations, such as the one you listed. I don't, however; agree that we shouldn't worry about our "beautiful locks." Most of us here are ladies and we are more than capable of multitasking with ease ^__^
I appreciate your comment.

You mentioned swimming, I also read that before you go into the pool you should go ahead and wet your hair with water first and that will decrease the amount of chlorine that your hair will absorb. I also put a little conditioner in as well. I have very curly hair so it can be pretty spongy at times and this tip has helped me a lot. By the way I love watching your 1940's hair video I really want to try it on myself soon:)

Lightening your hair is stripping it of its pigment, as opposed to darkening, where you are actually depositing pigment into the hair shaft =) that is why darker is better!
