 Hey guys, it's Monica. Thank you for joining me. This video is going to be all about hair Or maybe the lack of it. So if you're interested in finding out what I did to my hair and Why? Stay tuned. Oh, and it's also going to have empties, but it's all hair stuff This is just all hair stuff. So if you're interested, please stay tuned Thanks so much guys for joining me in this video up about two weeks ago Doing a thing and it was really Not planned. I really hadn't planned on doing this. I just had not I've just not been happy with my hair my hair 99% of the time during the work week. I wear my hair up twisted in a bun Sometimes I have like a little fake piece on the top as you know added volume for the bun. Sometimes I'll wear a topper Sometimes I'll wear my wigs But my own by my own hair I had been growing it out and growing it out and the longer it got the more straggly it looked the more thin it looked and on me. I I just wasn't happy with it I thought it dragged my face down. I thought it made me, you know as much as I think longer hair looks Sexy and youngish and makes you feel good to have all this hair I just didn't have the volume to pull off the longer hairstyles that I like so I went to the hairdressers and She said how's your hair been working out? You know because we've been like letting my gray grow a little bit longer and we've been doing more of them, you know like highlight Pulling through the cap. So you know rather than dyeing it and then having the gray show up really quick We did we're trying to do the highlight and trying to mix it in with my gray So anyway, so we did that like about the two visits ago. So I just said to her I said no I'm not happy with it. She was what do you want to do? I said cut it Just cut it just cut it all off and so she did so I sat there I'm gonna enclose a photo of it here. I sat there and she just started chopping and chopping She was you sure you sure I said go for it and go for it. It's only hair It'll grow back right might take a long time, but it'll grow back So she did and you could see the hair piling up on the floor and I was like, oh my gosh It's really all gone So after what she took a couple of pictures and super imposed those of course, you know when your hairdresser does your hair She does I think a much better job than when you do your hair So it was quite a shock. I came home Jay had no idea I was having it done Well, I didn't either you know, but it came home and it was like I didn't have I have no hair I mean take a look at how short it is, you know, I mean, I don't think I have three inches of hair Anywhere on my head and I have cowlicks so I can I always have a hard time with bangs because I have two Cowlicks here they lift my hair up I also have a cowlick in the back of my head, which is probably separated the top of my hair a lot right now Because that's what happens with my cowlicks. It just you know separates so I've ordered a hot air brush. It hasn't arrived yet, but I've ordered a hot air brush and I wanted a certain kind and I had a high time finding it was in back order everywhere So I did order it from Amazon, but it's taking a long time I think it's gonna come Monday or Tuesday And I thought the hot air brush would help me with the back smooth out the back a little bit But I I really I'm thinking with the shorter hair for me It makes my hair look thicker, which is very very deceiving in general Because my hair is not thick at all and that's why I love all of the opportunities I have for the wig reviews and when I get sent wigs and some of the wigs that I've bought myself that I Absolutely love that I share with you guys But lately I've been really enjoying the shorter looks and the wigs I just think that they they just look so cute and sassy and I really like it So anyways, yeah, so I cut my own hair off. So you're gonna be seeing me in Wigs and you're also gonna be seeing me in this But one of the things I didn't want to tell you and I know in my one of my previous videos I talked about the red light therapy for my scalp that I've been doing on the top of my head While it's way too soon to really tell I did I didn't want to Mislead anyone my hairdresser did think that my hair felt thicker looked better My hair has always been pretty healthy Because I do get a trimmed a lot and you know, I've been going to the same lady for I think 25 They're almost 30 years now So she has a good feel for how my hair is and she did say it She thought it felt heavy help felt much heavier and better in better condition And and I think too that I'm having less of a fallout seasonal fallout But I've also had a year of high stress and the stress can do a number to you So I'm thinking a lot of that contributed. So this is all I'm gonna do here I'm gonna do a little bit of empties. What am I doing for my hair? And I'll tell you the the number one thing that aside from styling products, but the filling products everyone always talks about topic and I prefer kabuki and And kabuki and I think I have this in light brown and I have the topic in the I believe in the light brown as well So both of these are in the shade light brown. I prefer the kabuki over the topics The kabuki is a lot cheaper. I think this one is like 999 where this is in the 20s I'll have to look it up. So I've got this off at the Amazon Probably can find it anywhere. I will link it. I do have an Amazon storefront if anyone's interested So that's where I got this. This one is empty. I have another one already. I really like this I think when you spray this on your thinning sections, it fills in really nicely It makes you hear it kind of sticks to your hair a little bit without being obvious or heavy or Unmanageable at all whereas the topics does the same thing I mean, I think both these products are pretty well interchangeable as to how they you know, stick to your hair the fibers Fiber material in here will actually make your hair feel thicker, which I really like. However, dollar for dollar I think the kabuki is a better buy. So Definitely one of my favorite go-to items the second thing that I do and this is very controversial. I Do use a Rogaine Hair growth serum and I know that There's some side effects associated with that. So you should definitely look into it if you're interested But I use the equate and they just get this in Walmart And I use this I know it probably says that you should use it twice a day I use it once a day and I usually use it at night So I'll go under my red light therapy when I'm all done You know, I usually have brush out my hair with my boar's head hair brush I'll stick the drops on and I will just massage that into my hair into the front I also still have the Nutriox 3C serum. I have some of this left half thing left So I've been into changing these two items. I want to use this up. I probably won't buy it again I will probably continue to buy this because I think it's you know, it's it's helped my hair over time I don't really think that it's hurt my hair a Lot at all. I've had when I say that I don't really I haven't had any side effects personally the the other thing that I have just about emptied is the ordinary hair oil it had this for a long time and This is basically Not anything that I'm going to reorder. I like it I do think having peptides and stuff for your scalp is a good idea, but I don't find myself using it and as much and I find it cumbersome to use because I don't wash my hair every day and I and I'm not going to be putting this on Second day here per se where I will on second day here use my equate or my Rogaine So this is this is done. I'm not going to be repurchasing it. This is L'Oreal what can I say L'Oreal a magic root cover up with gray hair at my age. Oh, this is a lifesaver This is in dark blonde because dark blonde Yeah, Jack blonde is the shade on this. I Love this stuff. This one is bone empty But I like that it has a little tiny pointer So you can actually get right to the area that you might want. This is empty I've already got my replacement really like it and other thing that's empty that I would not would not do without is My all-nutrient sculpt body amplifier. This gives me instant volume I usually put this on my hair when my hair is a damp damp and I take and I put it in and I just put it all Over my hair and then I'm going to either blow dry it or style it, but the super scalp I One time we went camping and I had forgot this at home You should have a second bottle in the motor home for the season, but for whatever reason I didn't have it I went crazy I went all all over the place trying to buy products that would that's something that would give me some volume And I got something very close, but it didn't do the trick this I absolutely love I usually get this from my hairdresser, but I believe you can get this like it's Sally's or any beauty supply place Oh nutrient sculpt body amplifier. I think I might have it in my Amazon store as well. I love it the other thing that This is bone empty, but I have my replacement and this I've been using gosh. I don't know for how long But this is sort of a thermal setting mist Hot steps 22 by Redkin. I really like this This is something that if I'm going to be using a you know My curling iron a flat iron a blow dryer or anything like that on my hair This is what I will put on my dry hair as I'm styling it with heat So this works awesome for me great product I definitely have repurchased and will continue to repurchase just a super super awesome product All nutrient define pliable a detailer So I believe I have this linked as well I buy this and You you probably it probably take you six months to a year at least for me to go through one of these This is something you just it's gonna look like I haven't touched it But I really have there's a lot. There's a good indent in there, but it's very soft and and Jelly like I don't know if you can see it Anyways, it is a detailer and I normally will put it on my dry hands After I styled my hair and I will just put it through my hair and to and it gives you of course You do have to go through it. I usually go through it with a pick You know it gives you some added Verrump to your hair, which I really like and I think it's maybe about $13 12 $13 Well worth it because it lasts forever for me. I think it's great now I I Have gone through a couple of different shampoos the blue shampoos just to do what I can to Try to eliminate the brassiness in my hair my hair goes brass really quick Because of my water is really high water I I do what I can to try to eliminate it and you know using the blue shampoo Once every you know week or so and then I started to use this matrix total results brass off color obsessed shampoo and I think this This is probably the best thing so far for my hair with my water For my brassiness, so I think this is awesome. I think this is about $16. I believe you can buy it again at Sally's I'm not too sure if I have it linked in my my Amazon store. I buy it all of these products By the way, I have been products that I purchased nothing nothing that I'm talking about has been sent to me So these are all products that I purchased. I love this. I wash my hair with this probably once every week or two weeks I don't use it all the time. I don't use it every every time my shampoo I normally whoops. I normally use the the pharmacy pharmacy pharmacy, whatever. I don't know how to pronounce it color lover I've talked about this before you see my big s. I have written in there Because my condition is the same thing. So this is my my normal every day go-to shampoo and I Buy the big thing because it's cheaper. It's more economical to buy it that way But between that and then alternating it with this I Think this has really helped to eliminate a lot of the the brassiness that then I get So we'll see how it continues to hold up and work But so far this has really been been pretty good. The other two products in here have been fails. I have I bought the pro gain which is a Volumizing shampoo. I believe it's from the same people that developed rogaine pro gain and It's supposed to be for fine earth in here. I don't remember what it paid for it. I Don't think it was super expensive, but I'm not buying it again. It's empty I have forced myself to use it at times. I don't like using shampoos that I don't notice a Difference with but I did use it. It took me almost two years to finish it and then also I have this marine Color protection shampoo This I think was something that I bought when I was Camping and I didn't or I didn't have my shampoo the right shampoo. So back to basics marine color perfection shampoo and It's all gone a little bit left, but I'm tossing it So not anything I would buy or recommend Those have been sort of fails, but I'm sort of very much a tried-and-true gal when it comes to my haircare products So we am trying a a different vitamin that I have been taking Probably just for a couple of weeks and this is by City Beauty. This is their complete skin restore I am a person that does believe in vitamins. I do take multiple vitamin I take my calcium. I take vitamin C. I Take I take different vitamin supplements pretty consistently. So when the folks at City Beauty Asked me to give this a try. I Said sure I would I Don't I'm gonna see if I can find the price point. I don't know what the price point is This was sent to me and it is you take two every day on an empty on a full stomach I am not good with remembering to take pills during the day if it's at night before I go to bed or Vitamins in the morning. I'm okay, but if it's like something I have to wait till I eat It's usually hard. So I've missed a couple of days of this, but I'm trying to get a little bit more Consistent with it. So I'm mentioning it. I'm certainly. I don't know It's certainly not long-term, but I just thought I would mention what I am using You know for and it's supposed to be really good for collagen as well and I am all about collagen I really am I think that collagen is the It's it's the answer for a lot of skin issues, you know or lack of collagen contributes to a lot of skin issues So, yeah, that's it's been a crazy It's been a crazy week or two weeks since I cut my hair lots of different things happening Going on getting ready for Thanksgiving. I'm gonna have the gang up here. So I I'm hoping that tomorrow Sunday. We have the flyers coming out that I'll be able to buy a big turkey because even though we don't have a lot of people because we are trying to still limit To a certain degree. No, sorry eight adults and three children for sure Although there might be a few more. So I want to get I want to get a big turkey a big bird a big bird And then we're gonna cook here.
