- Are you tired of dealing with bad hair days? Well, you might be making some common haircare mistakes that you should avoid. In this video, we're going to reveal the top 10 haircare mistakes that you should NEVER make!
First up, shampooing too often. Did you know that washing your hair too often can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dry and brittle hair? Plus, if you're combing your hair with dirty brushes, this is a huge mistake as well.
Next, buying extra expensive shampoo and conditioners. Expensive doesn't always mean better. You don't need to break the bank to get good haircare products.
Another mistake is shampooing your ends. Your ends don't need as much cleansing as your scalp does
Using a normal towel to dry your hair aggressively is also a big no-no. This can cause breakage and damage to your hair. There's a much less damaging way to dry your hair!
Not using a leave-in conditioner or detangler before you detangle your hair is also a mistake. This can cause breakage and make it harder to comb through your hair. Your hair needs protection!
Speaking of combing, not combing out your tangles correctly is another mistake. There's a very specific way to get those tangles out!
Thinking that hot tools with safer technology can't damage your hair is a mistake. While some tools may be safer than others, not using them correctly is a bigger mistake!
Not paying attention to where the air from your blow dryer is impacting your hair can also cause damage. This is one of the biggest mistakes I see people make!
Last but not least, pulling your hair back with the wrong hair ties can cause breakage and damage. You need to make sure you're using the right ones.
Avoid these 10 haircare mistakes and you'll be on your way to healthier and happier hair!

Is there anything you've learned to NEVER do that I didn't mention in this video?
Justin, the reviews for Olaplex are very bad. I was surprised to read them. The reviews speak of hair loss and thinning. Is that true?
@@narcismebelgie great question. The only part of the Olaplex system I’ve ever recommended was 1-3. That was because it was the only product for a long time that had the ability to regrow the disulfide bonds in hair. The rest of the line, I’m not a fan of. Now there’s another product called K-18 that I haven’t had as much experience with but stylists I trust SWEAR by.
I'm guilty of #9, and I already have fine hair that is starting to thin due to menopause. Although I use scrunchies, I still find broken hairs. Should I just cut it short again and skip the cycle of hair damage with the broken hair?
Thank you for your tips and your videos. I really appreciate them!
My glasses break my hair where the hinges are, hair always seems to get stuck there and besides using baby barrettes I have no ideas how to remedy this. Any suggestions Justin!??!
@@justinhickox I greatly appreciate your professional experience and rational perspective on everything. Thank you!
I'm proud that I knew all 10 of these and have been actively practicing habits to avoid all of them. I am 67 years old. A few years ago, I began growing my hair out from a super short (less than 1") pixie. As it grew it out, I discovered that the hair I thought was straight is actually very wavy, indeed curly. That discovery resulted in me dramatically changing my hair habits: 1) washing generally only once, but never more than twice, per week; 2) no blow drying, except maybe some quick diffusing on medium-heat with my head turned upside down -- but never doing any blow drying with a brush; 3) rarely using either a flat iron or hot brush to straighten it -- choosing to let its curly flag fly; and 4) even though for decades I had not colored my medium brunette (with just a few thin strands of silver and lots of natural auburn highlights) hair with anything other than semi-permanent color 2-3 times per year, deciding a year ago to stop coloring altogether. I eventually grew my hair past the middle of my back, with some layers for body and movement and a U-shape bottom line in the back. It was pretty, but I felt that at such a long length, it wasn't necessarily flattering my 67 y.o. face. So, a week ago, my stylist and I agreed on cutting it to just a bit longer than shoulder length with face-framing layers and just a bit of a few other layers, while keeping the clean U-shape on the bottom. I absolutely LOVE the result!!! And with the help of my protocol of what seems to be the right proportions of heat protectant/detangler, leave-in conditioner, curling cream and oil to keep it styled, shiny and healthy, my long, curly, abeit aging, hair now looks better than ever.
That’s awesome! I love hearing that!
Do you think you could video record the next time you go to get your hair trimmed so I can see if I can find a stylist who can follow it and maybe do that for me?
Awwww…..I recently cut @ 4” off my long hair ends, with a delicate and slight trim to strands around the face. It is more manageable, but it was nice to let it grow very long again - since my 30’s. I wash my hair 1X per week - or in winter - I go longer - using a dry shampoo. Lately I am using a new long hair shampoo, conditioner / leave in conditioner for frizz control. Makes my natural waves pretty. I like to have enough ‘fullness’ and movement, so I am wary of leave in conditioners. Silver strands all @ the hairline, otherwise my hair is still shades of light to medium brown. I pull it back - into a loose bun (?) often with a cloth scrunchie - uh oh - as I work with small children. 74 and still working & paying the mortgage! My grandmother had very long hair with brown strands well into her eighties! So there is hope. I would love to let my hair down more often, but life and work practicalities curtail this. I take a biotin supplement, and I notice the difference when I stop for a while. I’ve learned that rosemary (in oil or other ) massaged into the scalp can be beneficial for hair growth. Hm…I may try that too!
Yes, I think your viewers will agree with me. You have earned an honorary PhD in hair.
No, not honorary, it’s earned! Big difference.
As always, great info. They serve as “wake up buttercup“ reminders. Most of these tips I already know, but I have to be reminded to not wash my hair every day. It is a difficult habit to break.
In my teens and early 20s, I had very long hair (I often sat on it). It was really wavy and after a day of school, the area between my shoulders and wherever the back of a chair trapped it, my hair was straighter... It also had breakage in my shoulder area. Friction of any kind is a potential hair enemy... I also stopped putting my now past-my-shoulders hair up in a heavy bath towel turban and that's helped with the breakage at the hairline. Rounding the corner for 67, it's time to give my hair every advantage. Great video and help to all of us out here! Thanks Justin!
I love your videos! My favorite hair professional ever. Just love your honesty, and for not trying to push a certain product.
Fortunately, I wear my hair up in a loose bun, constantly with a larger velvet or satiny scrunchie. But I still own several of those small black elastic bands. Not anymore. Going to toss 'em all right now. 😊 Thanks Justin 👍
Love this video! Over thinning at the bottom in most cases makes the hair look too thin and unhealthy. Totally agree with you 🤗
I’ve been doing all of these things for several years now- I started during COVID-19- my income decreased and along with it- my spending! First thing to go was my hairdryer. It died and I didn’t want to spend money to get a new one. Ditto for my flat iron and curling iron. I’m so glad that I kinda happened on what works best for my hair. I was able to grow my usually skimpy, shoulder length hair into a long and naturally wavy look without effort when I stopped fighting my hair!
Ty Justin--- As you began to list these 10 things, I thought "yeah, I know them". Surprise!
No, I didn't 😖. Thanks for "detangling" these myths for us....I can already feel my hair getting better!
HAHA! I see what ya did there! LOL! Glad you liked the video!!! Thanks for the feedback!
Haaa...Justin, love your response to the Ph D. What make you the best and separate from the rest is your humor and humility. Great vid glad you mentioned leaning on hair while seated. So true!
Thank you so much. I am 61 and always had great hair but it has now thinned at the scalp. Appreciate the tips.
That’s pretty much normal after menopause, it’s from the lack of estrogen.
This channel is filled with great information 👍 Hair tips and care that I wouldn’t have crossed my mind - thank you!👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you, as always, for the informative video. Excited to see "what comes May".
I only wash my hair every 4 days if i need to. My hair is thick and to my shoulders bob. Anything sooner than that unless i got real dirty or sweaty is pointless. My hair actually looks better on day 2. Thank you for all these pointers, most of which i already knew, but needed to be refreshed in my mind, as most of us are a force of habits. Cant wait to see what you are up to or not up too...haha!😅
Another wonderfully informative (and entertaining) video. Unfortunately, I don't wash my brushes as often as I should. (Working on that.) And, when my hair was long I could go with more days between shampoos (maybe just wash the front/bangs area). Now that my hair is short, I prefer to wash every other day due to my exercise regimen and to get the pollen out of my hair and keep it out of my bed! Also, having short hair means I can let it air dry and maybe just blow dry the front to style the direction for better and longer lasting results. I also bought 2 sets of satin pillow cases about a year ago. That has been incredibly helpful in taming frizzy hair and guarding against tugging and pulling while I am asleep!
You might just rinse your hair instead of shampooing to get out dust and pollen. Sometimes I add a bit of conditioner, too.
Your point number 10 about 'friction wear point' is so true - look at babies who lay on their backs All The Time and you will see the tracking on the back of their head where their hair has worn off. I'm guessing that wearing a statin/sateen hair scrunchy vs a textured material makes a difference on hair?
Thank you for all your fabulous suggestions. I've updated my hair profiles ~ front, top, side{s} & well, bottom too I guess, haha, and it's been a relief. I appreciate you.
I'm a curly girl, so I don't forget to add oil and lotion for moisture back into my hair.
I loved these tips! I don't see the notification link for the "big reveal" but want to sign up. Love your videos, thank you!

I just love your personality! And the hair info is an awesome perk 🤗
I like the addition of a Q & A at the end.
I’ve been binge watching your channel since I discovered you. I hope hair dressers are watching you. It feels like it’s hard to find a good one. 🤷♀️
Thanks for all the great information you give us on hair !!!
I have a wet brush (it is great), but I just throw my brush in the washing machine once/week. I've had the same brush for a decade and still looks brand new.
I removed the hair and dust with a BRUSH Brush Cleaner - and then I put it in the dishwasher.
What amazing ideas! Never would have thought of either of these.
@@MoonlightNothingthat would ruin a MASON PEARSON BRUSH I MUST USE AND THE KENT BOAR FOR HAIR THINNING AND LOSS. I CAN NOT PUT THEM IN A WASHER OR WASH THEM. I use a Ketocerizone (Sp)for my scalp.
I never towel dry my hair. I pat my hair on a thick wash cloth. The micro towel made my hair too dry and I had awful tangles. I use ORBIE oil before I brush my wet hair with my KENT BOAR BRUSH AND BRUSH END UP. In sections. Bella
Your a doll. Bella
I'm wondering if using SUN IN is okay, for highlights? Is this damaging? I can't tell because my hair is already dry (all my life it's been dry). But all my life I have done outdoor things. I'm proud that the old fashioned thing to do : washing your hair once a week rings true (generally).
To the question about perms and color together, I never did it, but I do remember my 80's perm. I got a 2-for-1!
The result of my natural level 7 blonde hair was a platinum curl fest! My guess would be the ammonia or whatever's in that solution. My advice would be to perm first. See what gets stripped out and go from there. 😂
Thank you very much for telling us the Information with the microfiber towel. I really did not know that.😀
Thank you for making this video. I'd love to see more of them :)
Excellent info! And validating. I'm relieved that I'm aware of all of these! I've even started wearing a silky sleep cap at night to reduce the nape tangles I get from my silky pillows (better than cotton for my hair). I use the big fat no metal hair bands, minimally shampoo about once a week at the scalp, gently use a smooth hair wrap towel after showering, air dry my hair, and don't brush or touch it much (curls). My room for improvement is remembering to wear it up more so it's out of the way/safer/protected during my active day and in improving it's texture as I age (since I don't color it very often, demi permanent when I do). Thanks Justin. 💜
Sleeping bonnets and a complete game changer!!!
My silk pillow cases have really helped me.
When my hair was short I washed it everyday which was literally necessary to style it. Plus I got it cut frequently so it was healthy. After growing it out into a below chin bob, I shampoo every 3 to 4 days. At first it looked terrible the 2nd day, but your scalp adjusts and doesn’t produce as much oil when you wash less frequently. Saves me so much time and product too! Justin, due to your earlier video demonstrating how to properly hold the blow dryer pointed down the shaft, I have changed my ways. My hair is far less frizzy and my natural wave has lovely body. I don’t need to rely on any iron to tame it, only occasionally use a curling iron to change up the look. Thank you!
During "stay at home" I thought would have been the time to train my hair by washing only every few days. But I cannot stand feeling grimey so during that extra stressful time washing every day was still a stress reliever. I now realized I didn't have any reason to go anywhere this weekend and could have given it a try.
So glad you mentioned the natural oils - I thought he was going to say that. Washing too frequently our scalps try to compensate by making more oil... I have a cousin who doesn't shampoo ever anymore (I know! Wow) and within a few weeks her scalp adjusted and her hair looks pretty normal, I gotta say. More lank than the average shampooer but definitely not oily looking at all. Not for me, I'm a once a week light shampooer, but great for her. Interesting how these shampoo industries promote damaging recommendations just to sell more product (like lather, rinse, repeat BS). 😉
My hair just doesn’t stay in place for long, so I was using Aussie Instant Freeze hairspray. Worked great!!! But when it came time to combing my hair out it was not an easy thing, plus I pulled a lot of my hair out trying. That’s a mistake I hope others don’t do.
LOVE the beard! Looks very stylish on you.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Hi Justin, Thank you for all of the wonderful hair tips. I have fine hair, and my hairline has been receding quite a bit in front. I wear my hair on top of my head with a scrunchy, so it is not tight. I will be drying my hair with a microfiber towel for now on. Please keep providing your hair wisdom with us. Keep Smiling 😊
You are so welcome! I have something I talk about in next weeks video that you may be interested in as well to help with the thinning... :)
Thank you, I'll be watching 👀
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! This was an awesome and very informative video. 😊
You are just so great Justin 🙂.... your advice is so relatable and easy to understand . I LOVE
your videos and your personality . Thank you for taking the time to do such great hair videos..... Go "Dr Hair?"
Cheers from your, hopefully , biggest Aussie Fan 😂❤❤
Thanks for the info! Can you talk about drying with a diffuser, please? ❤️
Hi Justin, thanks for the great video. I would like to know if I should spray my hair with heat protectant while it’s wet before I blow dry and then straighten with flat iron. I only wash my hair once or twice a week, so sometimes I have to refresh it with the flat iron. Should I spray it again or is the product still in there from the first time? Hope that makes sense lol. Love your videos.
Great tips! I sure hope you are working on a product for volumizing that works and feels great!!
Great info.
Luckily, I don't do many of these, except for not washing my hairbrushes as often as I should. Thank you for that reminder.
I have a long pixie that I need to get trimmed, the back has started the 'flippy' thing. Your mentioning of hair elastics was timely as I had been considering those tiny bands to corral the length in back. I always thought the elastics were not the best, glad you confirmed that for and saved me from a less than perfect purchase. Thin I will go even shorter in back when I visit my hairstylist (soon).
I learn something in every video, thank you.
Yeah. those little elastics are tough!!! I'm so glad to hear you learn something in my videos! I appreciate that feedback a ton!!!
My hairdresser wants to give me a Bixie specifically with longer tendrils in back because she said that is more feminine.
@@selectiveoutrage6617 but what do you want? It's hard isn't it. to know which way to go.
@@tgardenchicken1780 I found several photos of me from the last time bixies were in style. Many variations. All looked good!
I never use a brush for my chin length bob because I don't blow dry. A comb to section my hair if I use velcro rollers, then to tease for volume. My hair is very healthy and shiny.
Love these suggestions, thank you.
Great video - needed some of these reminders ❤
I agree with almost all mistakes. I do not use towels, I use soft clean tshirt to pat hair dry. Do not wrap it up and do like you’re ringing it out.
I just hate the feel of microfiber anything on my skin. So I don’t use this…bc of a genetic disorder I have to do with my skin.
Love this video and if people follow these steps their hair will improve!!
Finally got my daughter to follow them and she now loves her hair😊
Thanks for this one!❤
Hi. I’ve gone from brunette to highlighted blonde slowly over the past year or so. Also went from a short inverted bob to shoulder length. I’m still growing it out so that I can get a shoulder length layered cut. I got tired of not being able to just throw my hair up and go on my days off from work. I think I like the blonde as it blends better with my grays. It’s been over a year since I had a keratin to smooth out my waves in the summer humidity we have in New York. What’s the best way to style my hair so that I can use my natural wave in the summer. I have fine aging hair 😂 and now that I’m not doing the keratin it looks a lot less flat but I’m worried about the summer.
Hi Justin, ques: what conditioner will give you the most 'slip' in your opinion to make tangles come out easier for fine wavy hair ? 😢
Wanted to sign up for early notification. Can you add that link? : ) BTW, these were Great suggestions! I'm guilty of dirty brushes and towel drying. Hey, I did your wolf cut and it looks great!
Added! Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention!!!! And that's awesome that you loved the cut!!!! Thanks for trusting me!
Another recommendation is to use a silk pillowcase, which is much gentler on the hair.
Absolutely! Thanks for throwing that one in!
I agree. I love mine. Great for a crease free face too!😆
@@beverlynorris557 my face still creased until I got a molded pillow.
Yep my silk pillow case has saved my thinning gray hair from frizz
I agree! Changing to silk pillowcases increased my hair health.
Thank you so much, your information is always so helpful. I often wonder if you get tired of the same ole questions??? But here goes.
Im 63, and have a color treated Bob just past my chin, it’s really hard to keep it looking fresh without washing it often. I will try adding messy curls to it to get an extra day, but in the end 3 days is max. With warm weather approaching add in the sweating et…how do you combat that without washing? I would love ideas.
I try REALLY hard to not condition the roots, but there isn’t much to work with!
I’m always looking for a good shampoo and conditioner, and styling products without sulphates, alcohol and added chemical.
I would love for you to share the best styling products to use for after washing. I’m sure there isn’t just one certain product, but “how many “ products should one use? I use a heat protector cream, and an oil ( dry hair), it seems to work ok…but if I use a curling iron, or straightening iron, both set at 360, out comes the friz….and that brings me full circle to dull style that only seems to be fixed by washing….💁🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Thank you so much! I appreciate that a ton. Every three days is actually a good amount of time. It’s shampooing every day. That’s the larger concern. If you’re getting three days, you should be good. As for the sweating, have you tried dry shampoo? That would be a solid option for you. When it comes to how many products you should use, it’s a tough answer. It really depends on your styling process and what you’re wanting to achieve. With that said, a leave in conditioner is always great. If you’re using an oil, I would consider a heat protector instead. Oils can actually have a tendency to amplify the heat damage. You have to think of it like adding oil to a hot pan when you’re cooking. For the flat iron, I would actually recommend going hotter with the flat iron. The reason you’re seeing frizz is because the lower temperature doesn’t have the ability to lock in your style as well. Going hotter with it, closer to 400° for instants, Sounds much more damaging but in reality it isn’t. The style will last for a longer period of time, and it will require less passes with the fluttering to achieve. If you use a heat protectant prior to using the iron, you should be in good shape. I hope this all helps. As for shampoo and conditioner, I really like the Hairstory that I recommended in the video.
Hi Justin. I am the person with oily hair. Thank you for the tips. Questions is why does the scalp get itchy and I usually workout and sweat a lot, what tips to care for hair for sweaty hair and not washing it daily?
Seatbelts cause friction on hair, too. My waist-length hair is put over my left shoulder before getting behind the wheel.
Had to cut off 3 inches bc I wore a cross body purse on my 2 month vacation. Had one spot that the strap just wore my hair away. 😢😢😢. My stylist diagnosed my problem. Thanks for the add of sitting in the car etc…. With hair rubbing. Ty. Great video.
ALWAYS great info!!!❤
Thanks! I learned it from watching you! 😆
Great tips, Justin. Thanks
You bet! Glad you liked them! Any one specific that you liked?
Brilliant advice thank you
I like my Denman brush the best. That and the one with bamboo pins. It's nice on the scalp.
Thanks for the great tips
I appreciate your advice. Do you have a waver tool that you recommend? I have shoulder length hair and the 3 barrel one just seems like a burn waiting to happen. Thank you!
Awesome thank you so much for sharing this information 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much. Love your videos
Hi Justin. You have taught me a lot and I thank you. Please could you do a video on hair cut difference in using a razor or shears or both? I recently had my haircut by a stylist who asked me if I minded her using a razor on my hair. What are the pros and cons using a razor to cut hair? Do you use a razor to cut hair as part of the cut? Thanks .
Justin, what is your opinion about the silk pillowcases?
What ponytail holders do you recommend? What about hair claws?
Great as usual ❤
Is there a shampoo and conditioner that you’d recommend for psoriasis on the scalp?
Hi-just discovered you and I love all your tips and information ❤! Subscribed and looking forward to your posts 😊
Thanks so much 😊Welcome to the fam!
Great video! Treating my hair with respect yield great results.
Also, looking for a link for the maybe, not maybe something you may or may not but probably working on🧐
Cheers!
I didn't know that, wow thank you
Wish you'd do something about very thick, hairs/square inch. Every stylist has always said that I have 5 people's heads of hair on my head. I ask to have it thinned out. It used to be very straight, but it's gotten wavy underneath as I've aged.
I've had it short, bobbed and long. If someone doesn't listen, it looks terrible in most styles. I just want something easy, but nice. I do color, because it's pretty much all gray, which makes it more coarse now..
Just do a video on thick hair please.. I'm not African-American either. I deep condition and don't wash it now every day, but if I'm working outside, I have to. I've also used much more conditioning from mid to ends always and don't use heat much at all.
I knew them all and use them also (mostly). Since my hair is pretty long I always put it up, because those straps (if it is a strap from a top or a bag) will damage it, and up I tend to play less with my hair. My one struggle is if it hanging loose, I don't intent to but somehow always am toughing my hair, no idea why... And I hate putting extra's in my hair, I have very fine hair and putting too much in it ends up making it feeling gritty and grindy, I love the feeling of soft flowing hair.
Due to my illness (I have several auto-immune diseases, oa Lupus and Hashimoto) my hair has a mind of its own. One day it is super straight and smooth and the next it is almost curly, I can feel in my hair if my medication is too low or too high, sigh... And due to the same diseases it is sometimes greasy very soon. Some periods I can do 4-5 days between washing and the next it is 2 days... It used to be 7-10 days between washing, before the bloody thyroid. And I cannot use a normal conditioner, it makes my hair dull, flat and greasy. But what works for me is using conditioner before washing (just the ends of course) and then washing the roots, the excess conditioner is washed out, my hair is conditioned but does not hang flat. Or use a bit of hair-oil in just the tips! And I sleep with a silk pillowcase, I wake up without needing to comb it for tangles, just a bit the smooth out the roots then.
Justin, How can I fix frizzy hair? I live in Florida and it is very humid. I have tried many products to no avail.
What do you think of Zuvi Halo hair dryer? What heat protectant product do you suggest?
I use a detangler on my fine hair & hairspray. If i dont shampoo my hair for 2-3 days, but continue to use a curling iron on it, am I not damaging it as I am really just curling "sprayed" hair?
My scalp smells dirty if I miss a day, especially in the summer. I sweat a lot at my job and home when I’m cleaning. 🤷🏼♀️
I have been told by hairdressers that my hair is fine textured but very thick (I have a lot of hair). For a couple of years now, I get a lot of tangles in my medium length hair which I believe is due to the fact that 5 years ago I was on oral chemo for 6 months and it has left my hair badly damaged. Should I cut a lot of the length and if I do this, will my hair grow in healthier? Thanks for all your great videos!
I had mid to long hair, which was colored about every two months to cover the grey coming. I requested a perm, so I did not color my hair for over 3 months. My hair history with perms when I was younger, is that it responds to the solution quicker than average. The perm fried my hair, there was no curl or wave at all. This is my regular salon I have been going to for years. I had it trimmed post perm twice at this salon. Stylist would not cut it short as I requested. Still fried. Hair masques, conditioners, nothing would help. I had to set it with pin curls to get any resemblance of waves or curl. I went to a different salon and had about 7” cut off and have been going there about every 4 weeks to have a trim to get off the damaged ends.
I would like to have it a little longer but not like before. I am 68. My hair is thinner on the back of my head, which always seems to lay flatter than the rest. I don’t use curling irons, but use small rollers to give it a messy curly look. Do you have any suggestions for a shorter style for me. Will try to attach a post perm and then my hair cut. I don’t want an old lady puffy do.
Could not send you a picture of damage hair and new haircut.
As a suggestion, what about a layered or one length Bob that you could still curl yourself if you wanted to. Best wishes xx
Can you talk about FRIZZ from humidity?, and what to do to tame it???
Hi Justin just started listening to your videos I have medium length hair and I am 47 and I have noticed my hair shedding is there anything that would help me to stop the shedding every time I brush my hair just keeps coming out
I may or may not have signed up for something you may or may not be working on.😂😂😂
Hahaha! Love it! Well played!
😂😂😂
Hey Justin great video. I use many of these rules such as only washing maybe 2 days a week, only hitting the scalp area, not rubbing harshly with a towel but rather wrapping in a towel and leaving for a few mins. I also allow my hair to dry 80% or more naturally before I blow dry the rest of the way to avoid so much heat. Here is my question (and I am considering sending in photos for you) I never hear anyone talk about 2 things of which I have both, thyroid hair and the changes after gastric bypass (hair loss and thinning). I have always had very very thick hair that everyone loves. OMG after gastric bypass and despite high biotin doses daily, my hair fell out and thinned a great deal. Now I have lost 86 lbs and am much more healthy now but UGH the hair. I have stupid regrowth everywhere which is good but looks ridiculous and the ends are super thin. I just can't get it to do anything. I even stopped highlighting it during this to minimize damage but we do just color roots because I am otherwise very salt and pepper....white in the front and much darker in the back....not a pretty gray. Any hints, tips, tricks for those of us with thyroid issues and post gastric bypass or weightloss thinning? I've wanted to go shorter for a long time but for so long been told, your too heavy to go short it will make you look fatter......now that I've lost weight I can't get that mantra out of my head. SO how can I style or cut it during the regrowth phase? HELP
Great video! I’ll add a few more to the list: Not protecting hair from uv rays 👒allowing hair to whip about in the wind 🧣 and sleeping on an ordinary pillowcase 😴 Those who use a CPAP machine, be forewarned: those head straps aren’t doing your hair any favors - a silk hair bonnet can prevent a ton of breakage!
YES! My CPAP straps have been wreaking havoc on my hair, so I've been sleeping in a ponytail-just a different type of damage (yeah. not smart). I didn't think of a silk bonnet! Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!
Is scrunching damaging to the hair? Usually, second and third day, I just spritz with water and scrunch (short to medium hair). Thanks so much!
What is best oil for my dry ends?
Great video
Can you talk about pixies and hair care and styling agents you recommend?
What do you think of telephone cord hair ties? A lot of people say they're less damaging than the elastic type. How do they compare to scrunchies? Scrunchies don't hold my hair. I have a fair amount of slip, though less than when I was younger. Despite the photo, I now have long hair.
Wish you'd do a bit on wiry, dead gray hair. My hair has such a dry frizzy texture now that it's gray not sure what to do with it.
I have the same problem but using kera Colour Clenditioner to wash my hair between shampoos fixed it. I use honey blonde which gives a lovely golden tinge to my grey and it keeps it soft and silky
I love your comments however I let my hait air dry for 20 minutes or so and then finishvwith a hair dryer. Is that bad. I also then us a curling rod.
I went very short for me pic at the left. Lots of layers makes it so much more thicker and I spray after shampoo R&CO DALLAS BIG HAIR THICKENER ON WET HAIR THEN I ADD HAIR POWDER MAKES MY HAIR LOOK FULLER. HE IS A GENUS. Bella
I really enjoyed this - I am guilty of not washing my brushes! But what do you do when they are boars hair with wooden handles. I don’t think I can throw them in water. I comb them out, but it doesn’t “clean” them. Any suggestions?
You can mix acv and water and spray that on it and then comb it out
As a rule, I tend to avoid doing most of these. Washing my brush usually once a month because I'm lazy 😆 I do, however, use small elastics. Not rubber bands but silicone(?) I guess. They break easily and just slide out when removing them
Glad to hear you’re avoiding the majority of these! That’s awesome. With the rubber bands, regardless of the material, it’s the surface area that can be the larger concern. That’s a lot of tension on a very small surface area. That’s where I find most of the problem arises from.
@@justinhickox My hair is fine and thin so larger elastics just fall out. The small silicone ones work for me but I only use them to put my hair up when I shower and don't shampoo
Hi What is the name of the elastics?
@@SleeplessinOC Scunci polybands. Got mine at Target
I'm wondering about product buildup in my scalp. I use spray color to hide my thinning spots. Shouldn't I wash it out every night to prevent blocking hair growth?
You are very smart and have the best hair care information. Smarts isn’t just reading useless books in college.😊
I'm a newbie here. I'd love your opinion on what I should do for my hair. I always wear a pony tail. I really cant stand my hair in my face but I don't like my hair short. I'm short and on the heavy side and my posture is bad. so I keep my hair long to cover my shoulders and back. How can I send you a request to be in our series?
Hi Justin. I rarely brush my hair. I use a wide tooth comb and if it’s tangled I work them out from the bottom. My stylist says a wet brush is better (by the way it’s a wet comb). Why would that be?
Great question. Your stylist is correct. Wide tooth combs are more rigid so they can pull too hard on the tangles with little to no give. Wet brush bristles have some give so they tend to not rip at the hair as much.
@@justinhickox thank you for explaining. I guess I’ll give it a try.
I have thick wavy hair. Asked for a trim . However they texturized my bottom now it flips up . I want to grow my hair out. So I feel that my ends will continue to be thin . How long should I wait for another trim . ? I had my trim 1 month ago
Justin, theses are great tips. Can you address the needs of swimmers? I swim almost daily and chlorine has to be washed out.
Thank you! You're not going to like this answer but....a swim cap. Unfortunately that's the only solid answer. Chlorine is SUPER tough on hair. The process would be to rinse your hair, apply a leave in conditioner, throw on the swim cap, then rinse out the conditioner when you get out of the pool.
I’m a swimmer too, and I can’t swim without a swim cap! Mostly because I have long hair and without a cap it flips over my face and suffocates me!!! They also make swim caps for long hair that have more room in them to pile all your hair in.
Is there a conditioner/mask you recommend after coloring your hair that is good to repair repetitive damage caused by blow drying, flat iron, curling iron, and color together?
Maybe try suitable products for your particular hair from the Aussie range :-)
Your volumizer link and round brush link are the same! What volumizer is your fave??
What is your opinion about MONAT products?
could you PLEASE do a tutorial on how to blow dry a stacked bob.. No matter how hard I try I always seem to get the 'triangle' effect flat on top and too much volume round the bottom. HELP..
