I went through 3 years of intense stress and so last week I rage-cut my hair. I cut off 12 inches of perfectly beautiful hair that I loved dearly (because of you, Silvia - been following and listening to your advice for 11 or 12 years now?) So the next day I managed to pull my shit together and try to fix my hair and I ended up with an above the shoulder bob. I am so emotionally destroyed and wracked with grief when I look in the mirror. *I NEEDED THIS VIDEO TO HAPPEN*. Thank you so much for it, and it hasn't even premiered yet. (And hey, you're doing great for us.) 💜
Hi beautiful sending you so much love. I am sorry that you are going through a rough time and how feeling like you lost something (your hair) is another stress however I am positive that you look stunning with your new length and you will grow back EVEN more gorgeous and healthy hair quickly. Keep us updated on how you’re doing and how hair is growing 🤍🤍🤍
There must be something in the air! I impulsively cut my mid-back length hair to a bob. I’m having a tough with it as i haven’t cut my hair short in like 15yrs 😢 Devastated. This video came at this perfect time for me as well ❤️ (also long time ellebangs fan circa 2012!) Hang in there girl!! We’ll get through it and it will grow back gorgeous & healthy 🙌
I have been watching Abby Young here on You Tube for a while now and she is in Trichology school, and she says the complete opposite. She said that silicones are not your enemy and that coconut oil on your ends is super healing for dry split ends. I am so confused now.
Right! Go figure & they all talk science & what not😤so tired. So I do what I think is the right thing. I don't follow anyone anymore. Sometimes I just watch out of curiosity 😊😊
Please trust Abby this is so much misinformation 🤯.I don't like silicones in my shampoo but like it in my conditioner - it seals the hair.And to use same oil on your scalp and then expect it to be a heat protection are you serious?!
I think we should all just wash our hair with some type of organic kids shampoo, no conditioner, but a natural leave in.. ever see children's hair?? It's perfect!! They don't use all of his family bage😊

I offer Indian Head Massage in my Holistic Buisness. Just be careful which oils you use for your hair density.. sweet almond oil works well for finer hair while curse or thicker hair can take the grapeseed oil olive oil. Warmed oils work better as well.
Wow! I just realized I have been watching you for almost all 10 years. Time does fly! Thank you for helping us with all the information and content you have graced us with.
Silicone is highly misunderstood because there are silicones that are water soluble and washes out in the next shampoo however silicone in products like Pantene that silicone isn’t water soluble and it buildup and can even block color. Fragrance is a marketing tool.
Yes bc it's also meant as a heat protection and not meant on your scalp.I've been using it for 2 years and luv it- I'm on my second bottle and it's the only thing that I use from Olaplex.Please do your own research bc 1 RUclips video isn't enough
In comparison to other natural oils that in addition have way more hair benefits, coconut oil doesn't even come close. I will say I have clients with thick gorgeous hair that use coconut oil. However they do have the most gorgeous hair that is un-colored and they have no heat styling routines. Is it from the coconut oil? What I am trying to explain in this video is how to treat more fatigues and damaged hair but if you are using coconut oil and are loving it, it isn't going to damage your hair, there is just much better options out there.
@@Ellebangs Coconut oil, being a triglyceride of lauric acid (principal fatty acid), has a high affinity for hair proteins and, because of its low molecular weight and straight linear chain, is able to penetrate inside the hair shaft.
@@candacehawkins6227I was just about to purchase this based on your rec but was bummed to see it contains dimethicone, fragrance, red and yellow dyes??
I'd like to oil my scalp and also shampoo with K18 detox, followed by the K18 molecular repair hair mask. Would you suggest doing these things on different days or can I do this K18 treatment following my scalp oil treatment? Thank you!
Maruka oil is so underrated and untold of, it is perfeckt for pre-washing ones ends with it abosorbs super quick and is perfect for fine hair. Just a tip on a oil to keep ends healthy :)
Hi. Sorry but I never heard that Coconutoil is bad for your hair…i thought its one of the few that penetrates the hair and works against proteinloss. Can someone please enlighten me??
OMG, I was going to say this as well! Suddenly coconut is too heavy to penetrate the hair? I don't think so. The only bad thing about it is that it can act like a protein and build up on the hair.
coconut oil a lone is not bad for the hair- the problem is that it only sits on the surface of the hair- it feels hydrating but doesn't actually heal your hair- Even worse, if you apply a coconut oil product on the hair and follow with a really great leave-in nothing will penetrate the coconut oil thus eliminating the benefits of other products.
@@Ellebangs Thanks for your answer. It seems though that „The Net“ is disagreeing on the coconut oil issue: ruclips.net/video/ynVzvxHdLlY/видео.htmlsi=05cwCtdY_UI9J469. According to @AbbeyYung it is scientifically proven that Coconut oil is actually more beneficial than other oils.
I had to do it on my own timing, when I felt ready to do it. I didn’t want to cut my hair at all! … I guess I finally had that moment, it probably looks better now. ( I hope🤭)
This is the kind of advice I have been looking for because I had my hair bleached at the salon to a level 10 (she did a great job), only to have two deaths in the family and having more than half of the thickness fall out at the root due to shock and high stress levels. T H A N K Y O U !! I agree, the dimethicone closes the hair structure, which means that the existing dead (bleached) hair gets zero nourishment.
Pumpkin seed oil scientifically proven to block DHT, while also stimulating the follicles and delivering nutrients to the scalp. This means that pumpkin seeds initially target the catagen and telogen phases of the hair growth cycle, working to minimize excess shedding. Some DHT-blocking ingredients may cause other side effects. Considering this wouldn't be a forever option so I am not a fan of this oil. Also when you stop using it your levels could be a bit off and you end up loosing more hair than you gained. Blocking DHT is a very common way to re grow hair its nothing new we are just descovering this effect from more natural derived ingredients but still not for me.
Hi Sweetie 💕 for the first time happened upon your channel and oh my goodness am I glad I did first off. I have to say you are absolutely gorgeous and you seem like you have such a nice heart. You mentioned that you might be coming out with an oil yourself can you say if that's gonna be soon, cause I'm really interested thanks I look forward to hearing all of your other stuff. Great tips and advice.🥰 and now I'm gonna head back to your all your volumes that you've done over the years. I so look forward to it. Thanks again see you soon. Bye Tammy 🌺
What about using the oil from chin length and down. I was educated to use on "my" hair, speaking for myself. That if I use from the chin down to the ends OGX, this I do and I leave on for 24 hours before I shampoo. I never need to use this on my scalp because I already have an oily scalp and if I was to do it on the scalp I would be worried about the oil I was depositing. My daughter did have a problem with this bc of our water and we have to use a clarifying shampoo 1 x every couple time a month. I do appreciate learning about the coconut oil. This contradicts everything else I have learned I feel like my head is spinning. Huh!!! do love you. Question is there still a product that is a additive for box color to help with Red tones?
I think I’ve been following you for 10 years. lol I have hypothyroidism and have thinned a lot in front of my hair. Hair growth products can be so confusing.
@@Ellebangs yes thank you I have bleached hair that actually broke off which oil should I use I know professional blow out said you need to use oil everyday but I don't know I am using olaplex because he said too
Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and helpful tips! You’re awesome!❤️ and look forward to seeing your product🙌🏼 I have a question, so Im 36, and have quite a lot more grays than I did 5 years ago😩 lol I literally have to color my hair every 4-6 weeks. I use chi ammonia free color. What oil is best for scalp treatment that wont lift the color? I know some pull color like coconut right?
Rosemary and amla oil help restore your natural hair color and prevent new grays from forming. However these oils work best with a carrier oil, so a single ingredint oil won't always work. a nice blend of rosemary and argan oil would be a great option for gray hair.
Hi Sylvia!🩷 so obsessed with you and your videos - subscribed for over 5-7 years now I imagine. Two questions: 1. Is it bad if coconut oil is an ingredient in my Bondi Boost shampoo and conditioners? I'm guessing not but just checking. 2. Is it true that sleeping on wet hair/letting it air dry over night is bad for the hair? If so- why?
Hi! great questions, so in the video I said coconut oil is one of the worst oils for hair, what I mean is it doesn't have much benefit other than when its sitting on the hair. Is it going to damage your hair? no, of course not but I have only ever seen people sweat by coconut oil that have already long thick hair to begin with. Therefore they use it as a means to tame their hair and not "heal" it. hair products that contain coconut oil I am fine with they typically have other ingredients supporting the hairs health more long term. Sleeping in wet hair is great for the hair- meaning you are saving it from getting heat on it while its most vulnerable but it is pretty bad on the scalp. Since our hair health depends on our scalp maintaining proper scalp care is essential. I have definitely gone to bed with my hair still wet it just isn't something we should do often. You can create mold on the scalp and clog follicles, in the long tun this can be detrimental to your hair growth and health.
I am naturally dark brown but been blond now for 3 years my hair will not grown and is damaged and my hair used to be to down to my back my hair is better now but if I go back brown will this help repair my hair again?
It could be from over processing. Going brown insn't necessarily what you need, as long as you can stop processing your ends and mid-lengths this will improve the state of your hair.
Great video! I'd love to see a tutorial on how to get your new haircut! Also, how to style it. You're so beautiful and your new do is the perfect length for you!
Great question, Jojoba is great on the hair, however I do prefer argan oil I feel like it serves more hair types and has very similar benefits. Also jojoba is actualy a type of wax and not actually an oil. Considering they are so similar I wouldn't use both so argan oil always wins for me.
This was so educational especially because high end brands use those bad ingredients you mentioned and I've been using coconut oil and it really hasn't improved the state of my hair. Thank you Silvia!
Several weeks ago, I purchased a brand named Luseta. It’s a Rosemary Mint Complex. Ingredients are great and my husband is having NEW growth from dormant follicles or areas where we figured they were just “dead.” Thanks for this wonderful and informative video. Ps.

Then you are using the wrong oil.

its fine if your hair is super fatigued, it does however contain one of the most water resistant silicones- phenyl trimethicone which is not good.
