If you ask for a gentle shag in the uk you are NOT asking for a haircut 😂 Also, I adored your description of the relationship between a shag and a mullet!
I have super fine and pretty straight hair so I doubt I’ll be able to incorporate much of your advice into my own routine, but I just wanted to say that lately your hair has been so effortless/smoldering/70s cool girl-esque and I’m so jealous but also so happy for ya!
My hairdresser has just told me to start washing my hair with my head upside down as the back of my scalp wasn’t getting enough rinsing action in particular. I had noticed some scalp irritation and had been thinking about getting scrubs or the Sunday Riley liquid exfoliant. Three washes in I know that I don’t need to spend more money right now, altering my technique was all that was required.
Totally recommend trying using the Ordinary glycolic toner as a scalp exfoliating treatment once or twice a month. It’s much more affordable than the Sunday Riley
This video is a direct testimony to what a great haircut can do. Simplicity really is key in having great hair and having a stylist that really knows their stuff and cares about the health/integrity of your hair is paramount; so big ups to Jude for being a great stylist. Ive watched this video 3 times and I love your energy and your honesty about what you don't know. My hair is nothing like yours and when you explained that it may not be helpful for those of us with coils/kinkier textures, I appreciate that you recognize that and still wanted to give a good video. I actually am planning on trying the C&K Tonik as it can be used on curlier textures. I love this video because I just love big hair and woman you have some foxy momma hair!!!!
An aside about hair typing: most hairstylists do not believe in hair-typing. Mainly because most humans have more than one “type” of hair on their head. Curly hair can be fine. Straight hair can be coarse. I have natural thick fine hair with multiple curl patterns that within that. The programming around hairtyping is steeped in anti-blackness and the idea that their is “good” or “bad” hair. Or that certain types of hair are “easier”. In fact the chart was made by Oprah’s hairstylist while he was trying to sell his products and he originally didn’t even include “black hair”on the chart. And when this was called out he stated that he thought “black hair” should just be straightened. Ive been on a journey of learning about my hair and understanding it and deprogramming myself from these ideas. Listening to natural hair cosmetologists has changed my view completely. I am washing more frequently, using less products and my curls have never looked better and it’s made me excited about my hair for the first time ever.
Ameerah, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. I very much assumed that the hair-typing chart was part of an inclusive way of thinking about hair, and I'm horrified to hear that the guy who started it was promoting such poisonous ideas (again, I assumed the opposite!). I'm sorry that I didn't look into it more thoroughly. Hair is political and I wanted to include imagery that celebrates all hair types and makes it clear that all hair is equally wonderful. I didn't do enough, I wish I had done more, and I will do more next time
I think that the discussion of hair-typing has evolved over the years. I am in my 50s and I remember when Oprah’s stylist developed that system. It was sort of revolutionary in that it started a discussion about curly hair and some different practices of hair care that had not been part of the mainstream discussion about hair. I do remember African-type hair textures being included, so I’m surprised to read this description. But I also remember Andre being a big proponent of hair straightening, and of perms to create looser curl patterns. In the early days of the internet, the online naturally curly community adopted Andre’s numbering system as a way to facilitate discussion and share tips that enabled some of us curlies to wear our hair naturally for the first time. As a curly girl, I felt it was a very positive thing at the time. But I agree, it’s time to move on from this way of speaking about hair. I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is both good and bad history in this method of hair-typing.
Same! Im Arab and have frizzy curly, sometimes dry, hair. I noticed when I loaded my hair with styling products it dulled my hair and it was horrible. I was shocked by the curly girl method because it’s loaded with a crap ton of products and twenty steps and it never made sense to me. I blow dry my hair when I want to and leave it curly when O want to and condition it like normal. None of the no poo, cowash stuff they recommend for curly hair. I also only use leave in and serum when air drying. Trial and error helped find the right products for me.
Omgggg those before and after pictures are INSANE!!! Also I had no earthly clue of your age and you have such a fresh young vibe while seeming older in the way you speak and present yourself
I have curly hair and getting a scalp massager/shampoo scrubber thing has been a game changer for me. I only wash my hair once a week as well, and I feel like it really gets my scalp clean. I love mine
I started air drying my hair in sections on your recommendation from that video a few weeks ago and oh my gosh! I never knew I could do something about the itchiness on the back of scalp. Thank you thank you Hannah!
Wonderful to see you doing something other than makeup content again. Also greatly miss your anti-consumerism focused videos which is what first brought me to your channel.
You hair looks fantastic! I have similar texture and thickness to my hair, and I love that your focus is on volume and movement, and not trying to coax your waves into perfect ringlets! I love that the curly girl method works for so many, but I just want big hair that is messy on purpose.
Love this video! I'm in love with the shag haircuts but don't have the hair type for it . Always good to have reminders to take care of your hair and scalp regardless of your hair type.
I recently stopped washing my (short, wavyish) hair completely and I am SO happy about it. I used to only wash my hair once a week with Head and Shoulders - any other shampoo would leave me with super noticeable dandruff, but my hair would get super oily between washes and then SUPER fluffy right after washing which I don't like as a look. In May my mom told me she had stopped washing hers over the pandemic and I gave it a try, just rinsing my hair thoroughly with hot water twice a week at first. My hair now permanently lives in the former sweet spot between fluffy and oily, and my dandruff is not any more of a problem than it was before (and it only took like, two weeks of it being super oily before it adjusted). I do think one of those scalp brushes would be helpful though - I'll pick one up soon. Of course, I think this largely works because neither my mom nor I put any product in our hair to style it. I figure if we did, we'd need to wash it out occasionally at least. But I can't believe I spent so many years hating washing my hair and all along I could have just... not.
Hey, I got across your content just he other day from maximalist vs. minimalist wardrobe and started binging 😅 ...I just love your haircut 😍 I love the layers and the volume, with the thinner length combined! I have wavy but somewhat thinner hair and doing cgm soon for 4 years now. I love the simplicity of that and now I am intrigued to try similar cut to yours, to uplift, pep it up and to get my lion out 🦁 Thank you for all the inspiration! Love it.
I've never seen someone have almost my exact hair, I think we're hair twins! The color and textures seem so so similar, ski this video was very valuable to me lol! I've been going through my own hair journey the last year, because while it looks quite similar to yours without stylers in it, it is TOTALLY curly with them, and I had no idea until a year ago. I had been straightening my hair since highschool! Anyway, I'd just add one thing to your routine that I've learned from the curly community, which is see l it seems to be important to use a clarifying shampoo once in a while for the same reason you learned that you need to exfoliate your scalp. Cowashes and other products can sort of build up and... suffocate? the scalp? Lol I don't know exactly, but they say it's important!
Thanks for sharing - My son has thick curly hair that he wants to keep long and we're struggling with some of the same issues you were - these tipps will help him and he's all for spending LESS time on it!
Ok niche but fun information if anyone is interested. The Hair Story Hair Powder mechanism is very reminiscent of antique wig powder mechanism traditionally made out of a small set of wooden and leather bellows. The bellows would be filled up with a scented powder mixture to spout onto the wig after styling. The Hair Story product is in the same vein😄 Just modernized!
After you mentioned the half-up drying in your previous hair video, I've been doing it and loving it. I have very fine hair and not a ton of it, yet my scalp took many hours or even a day to dry.
My hair is similar to yours, thick and slightly wavy. I only use a shampoo and wash my hair more than you do. Normally I just blow dry my hair, but if it's hot and I don't want to blow dry it, I let it dry on its own. The next morning I often find it's still damp, especially at the back (which is interesting because I sleep on my stomach) - it's icky. The drying technique you described is interesting and I'll give it a shot, thanks:)
I was super lucky enough to have a shag cut by GoodbyeHorsegirl a couple years ago and it was the best cut of life! My styling is very similar to yours.. brush, New Wash, C+K Tonic.. I also *love* the C+K balm for my ends and adding pieceyness back to the frizzier, fluffier bits.. and their cocoa dry shampoo. It really is all about the cut.
I still use New Wash Rich, now they offer that. I follow you,and didn't know you use it,I absolutely feel like it's transformed my hair. From Covid loss, to just old tired hair, this is the answer!
Hannah i have alopecia after cancer treatment sixteen years ago. I wear wigs and hairpieces every day. I am watching this video with great interest because I just love your content!!!
We have what sounds like the exact same hair and issues! I have thick coarse hair that lacks volume at the crown; I sleep with wet hair; I don’t brush and assumed that was good; I always air dry because it takes 45mins to an hour to blow dry it!!! This video was so helpful, especially because I didn’t realize brushing exfoliated the scalp! Off to buy a brush...
Here to say I too seriously underestimated the power of the right cut in creating the shape and texture I always wanted. I got a very similar cut on what I thought was my lank, only very slightly wavy hair-y’all I have proper CURLS. It’s completely changed the way I style and care for my hair too. I used to get pretty miserable scalp psoriasis-like irritation and lesions from wet hair, but air drying works so much better for me now and I can attest that Tonik feels much more like a treatment than a styling product. I also highly recommend Rabbit Brush shag spray- magical texture like the salt spray of my dreams but not at all drying.
I just figured out my easiest hair maintenance routine and my hair also looks better than ever. I colour my hair once a year, cut it 1-2 a year. Wash it once a week plus curl it the next morning (30mins). Daily styling is dry shampoo if needed (1-3 times a week max), brush it out (I like it sleek vs piecey) and maybe run a little serum or oil through it for shine. I don’t tie it up because it makes it dirtier faster. The only reason I colour it once a year is to dry it out a bit so the curls stays better. Weirdly my hair still looks healthy even though I use heat almost every week.
I need this glow up so badly.. I’m getting my hair cut I a few days.. it’s so fine and thin but I want to have a definitive style to it so I can look like my hair is done .. Idk.. this cut looks great on you!
As soon as I finished watching your video, I saw Samantha Ravndahl has posted so went to watch her video and she’s raaaaving about you on her most recent video! I was so happy to hear all she had to say about you and your channel!!! It’s all true! 🥰
I'm obsessed with cult+king and have tried almost every product for my thinning but super long 3A hair. Their Tonik product I can never go without! It's been such a game changer for my scalp health, and I was so excited to hear you mention it. Their shipping takes time, so I always make sure to have a backup. Their bulk sizes are really affordable and are packaged in aluminum too. While a shag wouldn't work for me personally, I think your hair looks amazing and really suits you! Thanks for the helpful tips!
I've totally stolen the trick of letting my hair airdry in layers and it works so well! I'm thinking about asking for more layers near the crown in my next haircut now that I've seen how well it's worked for you.
I got a mullet in December and it was the best decision ever, one of the best haircuts I've had in my life, which is funny bc I'm definitely not terrifically beautiful hahhahah. I got it cut again recently but I didn't ask for it short enough unfortunately as my hair is hitting my shoulders and doing this horrific slope up, it'll look better once it's properly past my shoulders but its very annoying right now! Anyway, that was my pointless mullet story, thank u lol.
A haircut can really make all the difference. I have sensitive/breakout prone scalp but dry hairs. So my scalp likes to be washed/clean but my actual hairs dry out with too much washing and get limp with too much conditioning. So it’s just finding a balance and less heat styling makes a big difference and the cut enables me to not heat style and still have a fab look.
Cult + King Tonik is amazing. Been using it for over 2 years. It's one of the only hair products I use in my hair. I have fine hair and a lot of it. I used it preblow dry or airdry. I work it into my scalp and then brush it through.
Hannah, according to the Elf website they have discontinued the Lip& Cheek Palette that you love (& that I also love) do you have any suggestions for a similar product?
@@arielts06 yes I did see that, looks a little bit bigger than I want & I was under the impression that collection was limited edition (but I could be wrong). Thank you for the recommendation though. I haven’t completely panned my active lip & cheek palette quite yet (Close enough to where I’m trying to replace it with but not close enough to purchase what ever that replacement will be)
@@staceymolli1028 I personally don’t necessarily feel comfortable buying makeup on Amazon, no criticisms to those who do I definitely have in the past but I find it’s not a reliable source for me to buy beauty products from.
You have convinced me to try New Wash…It sounds very much like the elvive magic oil low shampoo that l‘oreal discontinued to my dismay! To this day I keep buying up leftover stock online and I am scared of when that’s inevitably going to run out.
Ohh so New Wash is like a cowash and the powder is kind of a dry shampoo! I recently bleached my hair so I’m back to cowashing, it really helps cut down the dryness that even low-poos can cause. Love your haircut and your new simplified routine, there’s nothing better than a simple yet effective regime.
To air dry your hair in sections you could use velcro rollers. The big 2 inch ones can just be put under the roots without wrapping the length of the hair around them. That way it will dry away from your scalp and with volume. Also I just find there to be something glamorous about hair rollers and I don't know why.
My hairdresser used the tonik on my scalp last time I got a haircut and the feeling of it on the scalp is so cool! I described it as mouthwash for my scalp lol, it's such a nice cooling/warming/tingly feeling.
I’m excited for the hair content! I think the new style is lovely and suits you very well. I’m getting a new haircut tomorrow as well! I’m going to ask for a cut that helps me embrace my natural waviness and texture.
I’ve been doing the butterfly clip drying method every since you mentioned it in a different video and it’s great. My hair is a 3a so very straight and long with fine strands but I have a lot of it so it’s nice to let it dry in sections
Hey hannah i would love to see your new take on the tag Morgan turner co created recently. It's all about textures and finishes and i just love how you share your expertise with us about that ❤
This is truly fascination for a 1A hairtype XD Hahaha. This will truly be another for the HLP-hair magic greatest hits! I love love love your hair, it's so sexy and wild!
I have very similar hair to you and I basically gave the same directions for a haircut but I got something much closer to a mullet than I wanted :( I agree that a mullet can look SO cool on some people, I think I'm just not enough of a babe to pull it off. I'm learning to live with it, but I wish it looked more like your hair.
p.s. my hairstylist also suggested New Wash but was out of it so I was supposed to order online. When I got home I was kind of shocked by how expensive it is and it seems like there are mixed reviews if it does anything. Do you think it is worth it? My hairstylist said my hair felt really dry and needs more moisture, does it help with that?
Really enjoyed your talk on hair! Unfortunately, I haven’t come across any hairstylist who understood and was able to execute something like that in Boston. I have lived here for 5 years and went to 12 different stylists! I always end up having to fix it by styling it so it looks less horrific, and hope that it would grow out soon. Lesson learned for me, just asked for the simplistic basic cut. Perhaps I need to fly to L.A or SF to get a haircut!
I'm so excited for this. I have the same hair type and I've definitely used your product recs and tips in the past. I definitely develop a hair pillow at the back of my neck and while I've had my stylist thin it out as much as possible, I probably need to brush it more. I love the R&CO cactus shampoo but I felt like it kind of fried my hair. I have color processed hair so I get plenty of texture that way. I have hair powder I got from the drugstore for less than $5 from the brand "GOT 2 BE" It works great.
My hairdresser also uses Cult + King and recently added the Hairstory stuff to her lineup. She washed my hair with the New Wash stuff last time I got a cut and I really liked it. Although I haven't been a huge fan of the C+K products on my fine curls (left it kind of limp and frizzy). I can't deny they are beautifully packaged and smell good though.
I just got New Wash 2 days ago and was about to try it for the first time but was shocked how small the bag was and I know I am gonna go through it quickly. So I was wondering what is the diff between New Wash and a Wen Cleansing Conditioner? Has anyone used either that can comment?
I used Wen many years ago and it was decent but not amazing and I found I needed to shampoo normally once in a while for the best hair, I tried it again a few years ago and stopped because it smelled way stronger. I would never use Wen after the hair loss lawsuit.
@@sharroon7574 I used Wen yeeeeeears ago when it first came out but honestly didnt remember my specific thoughts but remember I never repurchased after I finished the first bottle cause it just couldnt handle Florida humidity. But now that I live in California my hair needs have changed. I actually just finished the first order of New Wash this past weekend and I can see a diff in my hair but I couldnt fully ditch my scalp psoriasis shampoo. I need to still use that 1-2 times a week but followed by New Wash my hair doesnt feel as stripped. Also just started to use Cult+King styling products and more than New Wash, I think these are keepers. Will continue to try all these out but it’s good to know about the Wen lawsuit. This was the reason I stopped using Devacurl. I was loosing so much hair and couldnt figure out why, then all the similar claims popped up and I switched to Olaplex and I think I may return to them soon. N°3, N°4, N°5 my hair seemed to really enjoy and my scalp had the least amount of issues while I was using them.
I bought and fell in love with the Cactus shampoo based on you mentioning it in your video! Alas, it's sold out pretty much everywhere now and I'm scared they are discontinuing it
Thank you so much for this video, Hannah! I have hair very similar to you so this was super helpful. I even have a cowlick in the front right side of my hair line too! Did you find getting bangs helped you to manage the cowlick?? I’ve been considering it cause it drives me insane haha!
don't have the same hair texture/cut whatsoever but still thoroughly enjoyed the video cause of the way you explain things, I just love to hear u talk. Also, definately compelled me to watch your older videos just to see what your hair was like before😌
My hair are very similar to yours. And I believe, your hair can be even more texturised if you try the curly girl method. I mean: 1) no brushing with a brush at all. All the brushing is done with the fingers during the conditioning. 2) microfibra towel instead of a cotton one. 3) squishing it with your hands with some texturising cream while it's very wet (I love Davines curl building serum) 4) take them up in a microfibre towel for 30 min to form the texture. And then let them dry by themselves.
I had to try the shampoo and tonik. Let me return the favor. Invest in a Mason Pearson brush. Changed my hair. The only brush you will ever need and lasts a lifetime. I have had mine for 15 years
lmaoooooo 3 product routine!! i'm v impressed. this 2c b loves clumpy, defined waves so i'm like an 8 product minimum lulz. but i too only wash once a week so everything lasts quite awhile.
How have you found putting your hair into buns and ponytails and the like, since getting the new cut? I'm a Mama and my hair is up most of the time, and I would love a cut like this, but I am nervous about constantly worrying about flyaway or having to use a trillion hair pins!
I’ve 2b but my hair is fine but hair is course and I’ve a lot of it loving idea of Wolf cut as finally a style that suits my hair but I can’t ask for a gentle shag in Ireland I’d get arrested lol 😂
Lol i have that exact hair brush from amazon and i love it but be sure not to store it out in the open face up. I did that and a crap ton of dust collected in the boar/nylon bristles and below it. Although some of the fuzz might have been from my hair tho to be fair
Obviously I need a tutorial on this effortless(-looking) cool-girl black smokey eye. I suppose it's created with your recent custom palette? It's spectacular 🥰
I like the look, but I think it would be a lot of work for me. I have two different hair textures, if I section my hair from my ears, the bottom is like 1a-1b and the top is 2b-2c.. even if I have just a tiny bit of layering, the bottom pieces come through stick straight underneath 😩 I'd like the 90s long layered look, but I don't think I could keep styling it..
If you’re using a cowash or should definitely be clarifying and deep conditioning. I mean everyone should do that no matter what but especially if you’re only using co wash
Watching this with my thick hair straight out of the shower wet pressed against my pillow 😬😬😬 never thought about it that much and now I feel icky lolol
I adore your hair and I doubt you’d want to change it at all but I guarantee you’ve got curly hair in there, it’s all in what you do with it. Look up curly girl method and scrunching in products if you ever want to see your natural curls!
If you ask for a gentle shag in the uk you are NOT asking for a haircut 😂 Also, I adored your description of the relationship between a shag and a mullet!
True lol…a gentle shag.
Haha, very true. One might get kicked out of the hair salon foe such a request.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 that's funny!
hahahaha me and my partner are dying laughing over 'gentle shag'
oh my gosh.. the tip about clipping hair in sections to air dry is GENIUS. THANK YOU!
Let’s get into the mullet of the video!
Yes!
sam ravndahl just opened up a video by recommending your channel!! i was so excited for you
AHHH I just saw ittttt
I have super fine and pretty straight hair so I doubt I’ll be able to incorporate much of your advice into my own routine, but I just wanted to say that lately your hair has been so effortless/smoldering/70s cool girl-esque and I’m so jealous but also so happy for ya!
Yaaasss, the hair video we have all been waiting for!
We really have!
My hairdresser has just told me to start washing my hair with my head upside down as the back of my scalp wasn’t getting enough rinsing action in particular.

Wow, I never brush my hair because I don’t like how it looks. This is so good to know.
I have fine oily hair, so I also didn't brush often so the oil wouldn't grease up the standards. A conundrum
Omg Sam mentioned you in a vid! I hope you get a bunch more people to your channel!! 🥰
ahh me too! I'm so grateful to her.
I have curly hair and getting a scalp massager/shampoo scrubber thing has been a game changer for me. I only wash my hair once a week as well, and I feel like it really gets my scalp clean. I love mine

I've been using new wash for about a month and loving it! very much a convert as well. was so glad to hear you're using and loving!
Wonderful to see you doing something other than makeup content again. Also greatly miss your anti-consumerism focused videos which is what first brought me to your channel.
I am so envious of your hair texture. It is gorgeous and that haircut is perfection.
Great video - my hairdresser was able to do this & I'm very pleased with the results.
You hair looks fantastic! I have similar texture and thickness to my hair, and I love that your focus is on volume and movement, and not trying to coax your waves into perfect ringlets! I love that the curly girl method works for so many, but I just want big hair that is messy on purpose.
I got your cut and it really is everything you described. The hero cut!
I like the idea of drying in layers. My hair is similar to yours but I do have more curl and body over all naturally.
Love this video! I'm in love with the shag haircuts but don't have the hair type for it . Always good to have reminders to take care of your hair and scalp regardless of your hair type.

I enjoy mine too! Better than using my nails for sure

Anyway, I'd just add one thing to your routine that I've learned from the curly community, which is see l it seems to be important to use a clarifying shampoo once in a while for the same reason you learned that you need to exfoliate your scalp. Cowashes and other products can sort of build up and... suffocate? the scalp? Lol I don't know exactly, but they say it's important!
Thanks for sharing - My son has thick curly hair that he wants to keep long and we're struggling with some of the same issues you were - these tipps will help him and he's all for spending LESS time on it!
Omg omg, Samantha gave you a shout out!! Remember we knew you first 🤣💖💖💖
Makeup Puzzle I will never forget you!!! :)
Ok niche but fun information if anyone is interested. The Hair Story Hair Powder mechanism is very reminiscent of antique wig powder mechanism traditionally made out of a small set of wooden and leather bellows.
The bellows would be filled up with a scented powder mixture to spout onto the wig after styling.
The Hair Story product is in the same vein😄 Just modernized!
I'm most excited for the scalp maintenance content! T/sal has been good for me, but I'm looking for better options
After you mentioned the half-up drying in your previous hair video, I've been doing it and loving it. I have very fine hair and not a ton of it, yet my scalp took many hours or even a day to dry.
My hair is similar to yours, thick and slightly wavy. I only use a shampoo and wash my hair more than you do. Normally I just blow dry my hair, but if it's hot and I don't want to blow dry it, I let it dry on its own. The next morning I often find it's still damp, especially at the back (which is interesting because I sleep on my stomach) - it's icky. The drying technique you described is interesting and I'll give it a shot, thanks:)
I was super lucky enough to have a shag cut by GoodbyeHorsegirl a couple years ago and it was the best cut of life! My styling is very similar to yours.. brush, New Wash, C+K Tonic.. I also *love* the C+K balm for my ends and adding pieceyness back to the frizzier, fluffier bits.. and their cocoa dry shampoo. It really is all about the cut.
Omg what an icon
I still use New Wash Rich, now they offer that. I follow you,and didn't know you use it,I absolutely feel like it's transformed my hair. From Covid loss, to just old tired hair, this is the answer!
Hannah i have alopecia after cancer treatment sixteen years ago. I wear wigs and hairpieces every day. I am watching this video with great interest because I just love your content!!!
I do what you're describing with the "new wash" but just with a regular old (silicone free) conditioner.
We have what sounds like the exact same hair and issues! I have thick coarse hair that lacks volume at the crown; I sleep with wet hair; I don’t brush and assumed that was good; I always air dry because it takes 45mins to an hour to blow dry it!!! This video was so helpful, especially because I didn’t realize brushing exfoliated the scalp! Off to buy a brush...
Here to say I too seriously underestimated the power of the right cut in creating the shape and texture I always wanted. I got a very similar cut on what I thought was my lank, only very slightly wavy hair-y’all I have proper CURLS. It’s completely changed the way I style and care for my hair too. I used to get pretty miserable scalp psoriasis-like irritation and lesions from wet hair, but air drying works so much better for me now and I can attest that Tonik feels much more like a treatment than a styling product. I also highly recommend Rabbit Brush shag spray- magical texture like the salt spray of my dreams but not at all drying.
I appreciate all the insight from your hair experience and routine. I have the same type of hair as you, both in texture and amount.
This was 34 minutes of absolute hair goals 😍
Thank you! Jayne is awesome. Been following her since covid! Your hair looks great. I like new washtoo for mine as well.
i have a hair appointment next week, i really want to get this haircut but my hair is quite thin, i hope we can figure something out
I just figured out my easiest hair maintenance routine and my hair also looks better than ever. I colour my hair once a year, cut it 1-2 a year. Wash it once a week plus curl it the next morning (30mins). Daily styling is dry shampoo if needed (1-3 times a week max), brush it out (I like it sleek vs piecey) and maybe run a little serum or oil through it for shine. I don’t tie it up because it makes it dirtier faster. The only reason I colour it once a year is to dry it out a bit so the curls stays better. Weirdly my hair still looks healthy even though I use heat almost every week.
I need this glow up so badly.. I’m getting my hair cut I a few days.. it’s so fine and thin but I want to have a definitive style to it so I can look like my hair is done .. Idk.. this cut looks great on you!
As soon as I finished watching your video, I saw Samantha Ravndahl has posted so went to watch her video and she’s raaaaving about you on her most recent video! I was so happy to hear all she had to say about you and your channel!!! It’s all true! 🥰
I just saw it and I'm gagged
I'm obsessed with cult+king and have tried almost every product for my thinning but super long 3A hair. Their Tonik product I can never go without! It's been such a game changer for my scalp health, and I was so excited to hear you mention it. Their shipping takes time, so I always make sure to have a backup. Their bulk sizes are really affordable and are packaged in aluminum too. While a shag wouldn't work for me personally, I think your hair looks amazing and really suits you! Thanks for the helpful tips!
I've totally stolen the trick of letting my hair airdry in layers and it works so well! I'm thinking about asking for more layers near the crown in my next haircut now that I've seen how well it's worked for you.
I'm curious if you have to wrangle your bangs at all or if they just cooperate?
they are the part I fuss with the most. They mostly behave, but a bit of hair powder and pushing them into place does happen on the regular.
How lucky. We have similar hair but my bangs never cooperated without a lot of heat.
Omg!! Samantha Ravendahl just shouted you out!!! I’m so excited for you 🤗
I got a mullet in December and it was the best decision ever, one of the best haircuts I've had in my life, which is funny bc I'm definitely not terrifically beautiful hahhahah. I got it cut again recently but I didn't ask for it short enough unfortunately as my hair is hitting my shoulders and doing this horrific slope up, it'll look better once it's properly past my shoulders but its very annoying right now! Anyway, that was my pointless mullet story, thank u lol.
Love this so much ♥️✨
Jude has been encouraging me to use New Wash for a while, it was helpful to hear how it’s worked for you!
Hey Hannah- do you still do mid week braids as part of your routine? Thanks!
I get recommendations of your older videos and let me say this haircut is just much much better for your face shape, you look beautiful and stylish😍
Hannah!! Samantha Ravndahl just gave the nicest shoutout to you in her review of Saie! 😍
I'm shook
One year later hair care routine update? Did you repurchase the Cult + King Tonik? Any changes to your routine or hair health?
A haircut can really make all the difference. I have sensitive/breakout prone scalp but dry hairs. So my scalp likes to be washed/clean but my actual hairs dry out with too much washing and get limp with too much conditioning. So it’s just finding a balance and less heat styling makes a big difference and the cut enables me to not heat style and still have a fab look.
Cult + King Tonik is amazing. Been using it for over 2 years. It's one of the only hair products I use in my hair. I have fine hair and a lot of it. I used it preblow dry or airdry. I work it into my scalp and then brush it through.
Hannah, according to the Elf website they have discontinued the Lip& Cheek Palette that you love (& that I also love) do you have any suggestions for a similar product?
ELF just released a new cream face quad that looks similar to the Active Lip & Cheek. It’s part of that Electric Mood collection.
I got mine on Amazon
@@arielts06 yes I did see that, looks a little bit bigger than I want & I was under the impression that collection was limited edition (but I could be wrong). Thank you for the recommendation though. I haven’t completely panned my active lip & cheek palette quite yet (Close enough to where I’m trying to replace it with but not close enough to purchase what ever that replacement will be)
@@staceymolli1028 I personally don’t necessarily feel comfortable buying makeup on Amazon, no criticisms to those who do I definitely have in the past but I find it’s not a reliable source for me to buy beauty products from.
oh nooo. I think electric mood looks like it might be the exact same thing, I will try to review it!
You have convinced me to try New Wash…It sounds very much like the elvive magic oil low shampoo that l‘oreal discontinued to my dismay! To this day I keep buying up leftover stock online and I am scared of when that’s inevitably going to run out.
Ohh so New Wash is like a cowash and the powder is kind of a dry shampoo! I recently bleached my hair so I’m back to cowashing, it really helps cut down the dryness that even low-poos can cause. Love your haircut and your new simplified routine, there’s nothing better than a simple yet effective regime.
I would love to travel to have Jude style my hair. I really like this cut on you and thanks for all the tips…I have similar hair type,
I have hair like yours but dark brown. I want bangs like you but I sweat too easily. Thanks for sharing!!
To air dry your hair in sections you could use velcro rollers. The big 2 inch ones can just be put under the roots without wrapping the length of the hair around them. That way it will dry away from your scalp and with volume. Also I just find there to be something glamorous about hair rollers and I don't know why.
I love the idea of using hair rollers because they are glamorous. might do it :)
I've been drawn to rollers recently too, it's kind of a l👀k
My hairdresser used the tonik on my scalp last time I got a haircut and the feeling of it on the scalp is so cool! I described it as mouthwash for my scalp lol, it's such a nice cooling/warming/tingly feeling.
I’m excited for the hair content! I think the new style is lovely and suits you very well. I’m getting a new haircut tomorrow as well! I’m going to ask for a cut that helps me embrace my natural waviness and texture.
I’ve been doing the butterfly clip drying method every since you mentioned it in a different video and it’s great. My hair is a 3a so very straight and long with fine strands but I have a lot of it so it’s nice to let it dry in sections
You are literally so beautiful. Would never have imagined you’re 36! I would’ve said like 25! 🥰
How are you a person that can make me interested in a subject - hair - that I never thought twice about?!
Hey hannah i would love to see your new take on the tag Morgan turner co created recently. It's all about textures and finishes and i just love how you share your expertise with us about that ❤
I’ve been waiting for this!
This is truly fascination for a 1A hairtype XD Hahaha. This will truly be another for the HLP-hair magic greatest hits! I love love love your hair, it's so sexy and wild!
I have very similar hair to you and I basically gave the same directions for a haircut but I got something much closer to a mullet than I wanted :( I agree that a mullet can look SO cool on some people, I think I'm just not enough of a babe to pull it off. I'm learning to live with it, but I wish it looked more like your hair.
p.s. my hairstylist also suggested New Wash but was out of it so I was supposed to order online. When I got home I was kind of shocked by how expensive it is and it seems like there are mixed reviews if it does anything. Do you think it is worth it? My hairstylist said my hair felt really dry and needs more moisture, does it help with that?
Really enjoyed your talk on hair! Unfortunately, I haven’t come across any hairstylist who understood and was able to execute something like that in Boston. I have lived here for 5 years and went to 12 different stylists! I always end up having to fix it by styling it so it looks less horrific, and hope that it would grow out soon. Lesson learned for me, just asked for the simplistic basic cut. Perhaps I need to fly to L.A or SF to get a haircut!
I’m a hundred percent down for a HLP ASMR channel
same!
So glad the powder works for you! Much more of a you product
I'm so excited for this. I have the same hair type and I've definitely used your product recs and tips in the past. I definitely develop a hair pillow at the back of my neck and while I've had my stylist thin it out as much as possible, I probably need to brush it more. I love the R&CO cactus shampoo but I felt like it kind of fried my hair. I have color processed hair so I get plenty of texture that way. I have hair powder I got from the drugstore for less than $5 from the brand "GOT 2 BE" It works great.
I forgot to say this but I think the R&CO might be partly responsible for my dry scalp. That dichotomous earth :)
My hairdresser also uses Cult + King and recently added the Hairstory stuff to her lineup. She washed my hair with the New Wash stuff last time I got a cut and I really liked it. Although I haven't been a huge fan of the C+K products on my fine curls (left it kind of limp and frizzy). I can't deny they are beautifully packaged and smell good though.
Decluttering hair products vid??
your hair is my dream hair. do you get balayage or anything?
no, it's untreated
I just got New Wash 2 days ago and was about to try it for the first time but was shocked how small the bag was and I know I am gonna go through it quickly. So I was wondering what is the diff between New Wash and a Wen Cleansing Conditioner? Has anyone used either that can comment?
I used Wen many years ago and it was decent but not amazing and I found I needed to shampoo normally once in a while for the best hair, I tried it again a few years ago and stopped because it smelled way stronger. I would never use Wen after the hair loss lawsuit.
@@sharroon7574 I used Wen yeeeeeears ago when it first came out but honestly didnt remember my specific thoughts but remember I never repurchased after I finished the first bottle cause it just couldnt handle Florida humidity. But now that I live in California my hair needs have changed. I actually just finished the first order of New Wash this past weekend and I can see a diff in my hair but I couldnt fully ditch my scalp psoriasis shampoo. I need to still use that 1-2 times a week but followed by New Wash my hair doesnt feel as stripped. Also just started to use Cult+King styling products and more than New Wash, I think these are keepers. Will continue to try all these out but it’s good to know about the Wen lawsuit. This was the reason I stopped using Devacurl. I was loosing so much hair and couldnt figure out why, then all the similar claims popped up and I switched to Olaplex and I think I may return to them soon. N°3, N°4, N°5 my hair seemed to really enjoy and my scalp had the least amount of issues while I was using them.
I bought and fell in love with the Cactus shampoo based on you mentioning it in your video! Alas, it's sold out pretty much everywhere now and I'm scared they are discontinuing it
I have a scalp massager with battery it’s awesome
Thank you so much for this video, Hannah! I have hair very similar to you so this was super helpful. I even have a cowlick in the front right side of my hair line too! Did you find getting bangs helped you to manage the cowlick?? I’ve been considering it cause it drives me insane haha!
don't have the same hair texture/cut whatsoever but still thoroughly enjoyed the video cause of the way you explain things, I just love to hear u talk. Also, definately compelled me to watch your older videos just to see what your hair was like before😌
My hair are very similar to yours. And I believe, your hair can be even more texturised if you try the curly girl method.
I mean:
1) no brushing with a brush at all. All the brushing is done with the fingers during the conditioning.
2) microfibra towel instead of a cotton one.
3) squishing it with your hands with some texturising cream while it's very wet (I love Davines curl building serum)
4) take them up in a microfibre towel for 30 min to form the texture. And then let them dry by themselves.
Yeah I definitely think Hannah's hair could be wavier/curlier if she conditions her hair with squish to condish style.
I had to try the shampoo and tonik. Let me return the favor. Invest in a Mason Pearson brush. Changed my hair. The only brush you will ever need and lasts a lifetime. I have had mine for 15 years
lmaoooooo 3 product routine!! i'm v impressed. this 2c b loves clumpy, defined waves so i'm like an 8 product minimum lulz. but i too only wash once a week so everything lasts quite awhile.
How have you found putting your hair into buns and ponytails and the like, since getting the new cut? I'm a Mama and my hair is up most of the time, and I would love a cut like this, but I am nervous about constantly worrying about flyaway or having to use a trillion hair pins!
the short parts are close to the crown, so they are easy to contain!
I’ve 2b but my hair is fine but hair is course and I’ve a lot of it loving idea of Wolf cut as finally a style that suits my hair but I can’t ask for a gentle shag in Ireland I’d get arrested lol 😂
Ha ha! Someone else said that in the comments and I didn’t put two and two together until now.
Lol i have that exact hair brush from amazon and i love it but be sure not to store it out in the open face up. I did that and a crap ton of dust collected in the boar/nylon bristles and below it. Although some of the fuzz might have been from my hair tho to be fair
Obviously I need a tutorial on this effortless(-looking) cool-girl black smokey eye. I suppose it's created with your recent custom palette? It's spectacular 🥰
I was just thinking that! I second the request for a tutorial!
I like the look, but I think it would be a lot of work for me. I have two different hair textures, if I section my hair from my ears, the bottom is like 1a-1b and the top is 2b-2c.. even if I have just a tiny bit of layering, the bottom pieces come through stick straight underneath 😩 I'd like the 90s long layered look, but I don't think I could keep styling it..
If you’re using a cowash or should definitely be clarifying and deep conditioning. I mean everyone should do that no matter what but especially if you’re only using co wash
Watching this with my thick hair straight out of the shower wet pressed against my pillow 😬😬😬 never thought about it that much and now I feel icky lolol
Pretty sure my haircut is ‘dating a mullet’ too…but it’s totally not serious or anything. 🤣🤣 lol 💖💖💖
I adore your hair and I doubt you’d want to change it at all but I guarantee you’ve got curly hair in there, it’s all in what you do with it. Look up curly girl method and scrunching in products if you ever want to see your natural curls!
I literally have a huuuuuge fridge magnet that says "I love mullets."
My favourite comment.
I was today years old when I learned my hair is actually labeled as curl resistant. Makes total sense now.
