I think we have studied that there are 360 joints in human bones, this is also in Hadith of Sahih Muslim 1007, so accept Islam, and the rejectors can’t be defended from Allah.
Does anyone else love their part in the mirror because it's a reversed image, but hate it in photos? When I first realized everyone saw my part in the other side than I did in the mirror, it was so weird.
Totally. It's because you see yourself everyday in the mirror and that's what you are used to. Then you see a picture of yourself which is what other people see you as, then you go ew I look horrible! Happens to all of us!
It's all to do with the blow dry technique, as well as the fact she's a hair stylist who has to deal with hair all day every day. A good blow dry technique will generally make the roots more loose and somewhat reduce the effect of the cowlick (even if it's still there) through the age-old technique of the wrap-dry (something they teach in hair school and something used daily). A good blow dry will leave hair bouncy, smooth and leave the roots loose enough to be manipulated into any parting and able to be parted in any direction and stay where you put it. Generally if you let the hair dry naturally or blow dry it into a specific parting, it is very difficult to manipulate the parting, as once it's dry, it will tend to stick up or just go back to wherever it was set to.
@@Dazoxa I agree but I'm lazy & bc I've got very long hair (down to my belt, needs a cut but grows like weeds ) I blow dry my hair upside down otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the ends &bc I do that it accidently gives enough "looseness" to the roots that during the day I can flip my hair into any part with my hand even just walking down the st. Sometimes I'll get to a mirror&my hair will be parted on a completely didn't part than how I did it that morning so try that upside down trick &see it's truly a lazy quick cheat (bc u hv more room for a brush ur hair will be so silky as a bonus).
@@Mollys-lips Good idea. That makes sense because if the head's upside down, the root is influenced into a fairly neutral position. Neither left nor right. Just straight up towards the ceiling (when you eventually stand up), which would give you a ton of volume and bounce.
@@Dazoxa exactly !I found this trick accidently simply due to not being able to reach my long hair .it does exactly what u said but in addition to the volume&flexibility of the roots if u use a brush &point the nozzle of the dryer downward the lengths of the hair will be so super silky smooth &straight yet u won't hv the flat roots you'd get with straightening irons &less heat means less damage (&less time bc u don't hv to use anything else but the dryer to style). Extra bonus -if u cut little 1cm wide bangs just at the sides of ur face up to ur temples ¬ all across just 1cm they add a fresh bouncy little flick that adds a really cute "baby hair" fluff look but only cut literally 10 hairs on each side of ur face none in the middle just at ur temples. If u don't like them it's only a few hairs that blend into ur hair seamlessly or tick behind ur ears (I can't see why u wouldn't like them they're so youthful&subtle) .
I love her...she helpful ..and she's beautiful....we all struggle with something with our hair.... Love her enthusiasm and her advice is gold...they need to stop that uglyness and learn from her
Part it after you shower and let it dry like that. If its being a bitch afterwards just try to straighten it a bit. After a couple of days it'll part on its own.
I feel so bad for this girl how she had to keep making those little disclaimer's with every suggestion for people who are easily butthurt by PC bullshit. People are so damn sensitive these days.
We need a revolution against PC culture. Everyone should be as offensive as possible to start weeding out the snowflakes. Maybe they'll all find their own island and die off. Survival of the fitttest.
This actually made a difference in my life and for my self image, I always wore it in the middle, and sometimes tried to part it on the wrong side as I now realize because of my "cow lick", but with these tips it looks pretty good on the side I started wearing it since I watched this! Thank you for making this video!!!
Part it where you want it to part while it’s wet and use grips to make it stay that way until it air dries (perhaps over night). Should help it stay, you can always add some hair spray too.
I have fine hair and I had always parted my hair comfortably on the right side according to my front cowlick. I recently started flipping my part to the other side and I love the look. I especially make sure to do this when I put my hair up in a ponytail because it makes my hair look so thick!
Definitely love the tip of parting on the side and bringing it toward the center the further you go. Seems like it should be common knowledge, but I failed to think about doing it myself. Thank you!
This is very helpful! Everytime I go to the hairdresser and they ask "Where do you part your hair?" I always tell them that I change it all the time and then I ask "How should I part it?" I always just tell them to part it how they want
Jan Barendszoon cow-lick is just a tounge and cheek term for the part of you hair in the front that seems to stick straight up or only wants to lay to one side.
I think it comes from the idea of your hair looking like a cow licked it in one spot - it will have a curl that doesn't match the rest of your hair. A cow just have picked mine all over because it's all crazy 😅😅
In italian we call a cowlick "rose", as the flower, and if you refer to someone's hair saying it's been "cow licked", means it looks greasy (imagine male bangs emo style), or that person has a bedhead. Language is amazing!
I switch the the side I part in general about every six months (I part one side or the other everyday in general). For the most part one always prefers a side when styling the hair and I have notice that the part starts thinning a little because of constantly styling to that side... so I change the side I style it to constantly about every six month.... not that this makes any sense in regards to your comment! lol
I was wondering if you could do a video about how people who have natural straight hair can keep a curl in all day. I struggle so badly with keeping my hair curled all day, even if I put weightless hairspray on
Such a simple suggestion to part my hair to the opposite side of my cowlick. I guess I never realized I had a cowlick, because it never bothered me, I don't have a major one that ever got in the way of my styles. But after watching your video I went and looked and I do have a little one. I parted my hair on the left instead of my normal right and omg so much more volume! All the hairstylists I've had throughout the years and none of them ever suggested this. My hair is on the thinner side so to get more volume without having to use product or ratting it out....nice! Thank you so much! Glad I accidentally stumbled across this video!
Great advice! I'm not sure it this applies to everyone, but I've noticed that a middle part could balance out a wider forehead or make your cheekbones appear higher. I have a diamond shaped face and round cheeks and I find that a middle part really cuts away my already narrow forhead and makes my cheeks look even bigger.
YESS! THANK YOU KINDLY, YOU SWEET & GORGEOUS GIRL! Flipping your mirror image can be a challenge you might wanna talk about. It's hard to do your hair in a great way that you feel comfortable in photos and see what others see
Another take on 'elle' would be 'eloquence' (because your hair makes a statement!) You could spell it ~ elle-oquence ~ Dictionary definitions: fluid (fluent), articulate, movingly expressive... these words also describe you Sylvia! Love you and your channel!!
I like that! Or some other play on Elle .....like Ellevated, or Ellevation.......a new experience in hair care.....a step up from what you've EVER tried. Just playing around w it.
Ash M I have 1 cowlick next to my widows peak, a huge one at my crown, and 2 at the nape of my neck. (Perfect if you want a ducktail, circa 1950s.) I let my hair choose it’s own part. It rarely looks better if I try to fight it.
I can't believe I just watched a 15 min video on hair parts and that I loved every second of it...this girl is so gorgeous and sweet and informative I'm totally hooked on these videos now
You are just amazing! You show extreme intelligence about cosmology in your videos. I've been watching many videos to learn more about dying, bleach baths, and maybe even cutting my hair myself at home and hands down you have been the easiest to follow and most informative. I just can't say it enough, amazing, truly amazing!
So basically, I was a little curious as to what to do with my hair since I've made some lifestyle changes and am seeing quite some hair growth at the front and found a new cowlick happening right in the middle. So obvious choice, I checked out youtube and found your video about parts and thought: I haven't changed that since puberty maybe I should give it a chance? And I gotta say, you changed my hair game! I never had so much volume and I'm actually not struggeling anymore with my hair falling into my face all the time. So thanks a lot. I'm glad I found your channel!
Turning my cowlick bangs on the other side was a revelation😊 (which I usually blow dry in the morning). Thank you for sharing your tips. Cuts my morning ritual time in half😊
I can't believe I'm in my 30s and I just searched for "how to change my part," but seriously...I've had either a left side part or middle part for my entire life. And it's actually damaging my hair, so I want to change it. Thanks for this! Love Elle!
humera shaikh do you have thick hair? the reason I ask is because mine used give me headaches when I'd change the part, I had to layer the snot out of it.
Mine used to hurt when I wore it up for 1st time start of every summer...it just took a few x's then was fine, then as I wore up more frequently even in winter later, never happens. Sometimes same thing if change direction but again, more I wear different ways, that stopped too. (Maybe if it was trained that way more slowly?)
I can't even tell you how much I needed this! Center parts are l the rage but I look like crap! My side part is so much more flattering for my face and features.
THANK YOU for explaining this. I knew my part could totally change the look of my face (I look like a slightly different person if you compare one half of my face to the other), but I wasn’t sure why. I learn so much from you!
Ok, I'm giving you gold here so you'd better snap it up before someone else does...! Home hair colouring that comes in a multi-use "root touch up" pack. Home colorants (is that a word?! I feel like it is!) always come in a single use pack/bottle that often gets wasted if you only have to do roots, touch up some greys or have short hair. I'd rather pay a bit more to get multiple uses & not waste any product. Also, a home colouring system that is good enough that we don't have to feel ashamed admitting to our hairstylist that we did our colour at home! They always make you feel like a real pleb for attempting a diy!
Totally agree with the wasted product delima; great ideas! Haha! I know what you mean about how stylists make you feel. They don't even have to say a word, just that look on their face says it all; you know, the deadpan stare that says, "Yes, you clearly don't know what the fuck you're doing, and that's why you look like crap."
Angela Lopez Lol! Yep! I recently got asked , with that same deadpan face you speak of, "did you colour your own hair?"?! I felt like a child getting scolded as I hung my head in shame & uttered almost inaudibly "yes"...then...crickets! He might as well have just said "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed". It's ridiculous! Lol!
interesting. here you look like Charlize Theron. you're really pretty and I'm in love with your hair color. I wish I could rock the light platinum blonde, but I'm too dark.
Wow. She definitely knows about hair. Her hair is AMAZING. I didn't even notice her lips were a little crooked until she mentioned it. It's not even noticeable. She's so beautiful. I had no idea there was this much to parting your hair. Fascinating information, and video.
please do a video about what hair color suits a skin tone. i'm asian so i have a yellow undertone (i'm medium to olive skin), i'm thinking of having my hair colored but i don't know which shade of brown would look flattering on my skin. i dont feel like using red shade because i think it makes my skin more tan. i want a color to brighten up my face. thank you.
so I just watched this video by chance because I'm going back to bangs again & I thought I'd tried everything before (which it feels like I have) except that it's been years since I've played with my part or my bang style after I found what I felt like was the best look for me. what I discovered playing around with these techniques again is that I forgot what they can accomplish! It's always worth re-evaluating what we think is "best" to see if our taste in style has changed or expanded. thank you for reminding me to play & experiment because of what new & great things a fresh look or perspective can do for self-esteem!
Great video. I seriously don't think I've ever seen a vlog which addresses this issue. I'm naturally very light blonde and I have profusely oily hair, so I just cannot get away with not shampooing on a daily basis. Consider saving money and instead of purchasing often costly dry shampoo; make your own. Take a pretty jar, preferably with a shake -top lid under the top covering. For darker hair mix 2 parts cornstarch and 1 parr cocoa powder. Blondes can use cornstarch alone or for added sheen, add some slightly iridescent light face powder. Use a clean ,large makeup brush, and powder around hairline, part,etc. Let mixture sit, and brush out thoroughly, then style. Same ratio of cornstarch to iridescent face power for light hair. I have spent a great deal of money on dry shampoos that I ended up not liking. Thanks again. You're so beautiful and have a lovely spirit.
Finally watching this from my "Watch Later" list, and am so glad I am. My cow lick is in the front just like yours and I have been experimenting with it. Thank you!!
I have trouble finding products for my hair because it's highlighted and damaged and it's fine so many products wear it down. Good luck to you and thank you for all your hair tips! ❤️
I LOVED kmart's marketing when they did a play on words with their "shipped my pants" and "big gas problem" commercials! Laughed my head off, I thought it was brilliant! If you do a toning shampoo you could totally do something cute like that. Maybe "Give your hair a brass kicking" LOL
i always use to part my hair centre throughout primary and mid high school, but i would have that same struggle with my cowlick. then my sister suggested that i try to part my hair in the opposite direction on the side going with my cowlick and it looked so much better. the only problem i have is that my hair is pretty thick so sometimes the top of my hair looks flat in comparison to the rest of my hair.
Yes, great tips. No one has ever explained it before like you had. Wish I knew this information years ago. I've worn my part so many different ways over the years. I don't fight anymore. What I now do is flip my head upside down and swing and shake it when looking up. Whichever way it decides to go that day is where I will part it. Not sure if that's the best way to do it, but eh!! Your shampoo idea sounds great. From what I've been watching on y-tube is the minimalist approach. All natural ingredients and some people are hardly washing their hair. One lady washes her hair every 30 days and no one notices. I guess the shampoo companies aren't too impressed. So many a shampoo with natural ingredients would be encouraging. Great video.
I would definitely be interested in a shine spray or even a dry shampoo/dry conditioner that had some temporary toning properties to remove brassiness! too crazy of an idea?
+Jessica Gabrelcik Right?! Something that can be applied directly to dry hair either manually like we do with argan oil or by spray. How awesome would that be?? :)
In England I'm pretty sure that we have this, I've never tried it to see how good it is but this had reminded me about it and I will have to pick some up to try.
So exited for you , I am always looking for a setting spray and I am not talking about hairspray, I want something that I can spray on my almost dry hair before I put my velcro rollers in. I have very fine hair, I like a lot of height on the crown of my head, but when I take my rollers out the curl soon collapses, because of the texture of my hair. Toning shampoo would be great. Your brand could be just called ELLEBANGS or Silvia's hair secrets ( I am rubbish at this lol) Anyway good luck with your new venture and I wish you all the success xoxoNisha
YES NISHA! fave make up youtuber watches my fave hair RUclipsr 😍 also this is a fantastic idea, setting spray rather than heavy mousse would be great 🖒
yes! I totally get what you're talking about. I have fine, medium density hair that has a natural curl. to blow it out smooth is very easy because it's soft...but...it's hard to hold a shape or volume due to the softness. I have to have some damage done (like some highlights) to rough it up a bit in order to keep it from falling totally limp. a spray like mentioned could be revolutionary for those of us with hard to hold textures!
I have the very same cowlick in my front hairline like you and struggle to get it right so this video was extremely helpful to me☺️Thank you for sharing💜
My hair always parts in the middle and before I used to part it on the side. However, the problem now is that whenever I part my hair on the side it doesn't look too good :(
I think the hair gets used to one thing and forgets the other .... I try to switch it every six months (one side to the other, because I feel the partition thins a little) and I know that the first few times it doesn't look right until it gets used to being parted to that side. Try it a few times, even if you are not too confident, maybe it'll look right again.
I watched your other video on hair colors and how important tones are ... really appreciate it ... and I think you could call your new line Toned. On each product specify for warm skin or cool skin tones. You're truly amazing. Thank you for all of the detailed and informative videos!
You could even sell a tone color wheel so people can figure out what skin color and tone they are ... warm beige or cool nude etc. ... like a collection of swatches they can hold up to their skin to find a match.
I really need a product that would make the hair dry naturally without frizz or when using a blow dryer without using brushes (like for fast drying without styling) to dry down without frizz. A brand name could either be your channel's name or maybe Goldie Locks
+Nadia Howell lol of course I HAVE a part, I just don't part it every day - only when I feel like a change. The part doesn't disappear overnight so I'm confused as to why you'd need to part it every day?
Your video was very enlightening! Congrats on your new venture! I am curious how wearing glasses effects your most flattering hair part? I feel like my frames change the way my hair falls against my face.
CapeCodBelle I feel the same way because I part my hair in the middle but I hate it when I wear it with my frames because it feels like it's always getting in my face

When she parts her hair effortlessly with just her fingers...
It's all to do with the blow dry technique, as well as the fact she's a hair stylist who has to deal with hair all day every day. A good blow dry technique will generally make the roots more loose and somewhat reduce the effect of the cowlick (even if it's still there) through the age-old technique of the wrap-dry (something they teach in hair school and something used daily).

As a non-native English speaker, these "cow licks" confuse me.
Jan Barendszoon cow-lick is just a tounge and cheek term for the part of you hair in the front that seems to stick straight up or only wants to lay to one side.
I think it comes from the idea of your hair looking like a cow licked it in one spot - it will have a curl that doesn't match the rest of your hair. A cow just have picked mine all over because it's all crazy 😅😅
Im english and i had no idea what it meant.
Jan Barendsz i speak spanish an we literally say the same thing "cow-lick" so i think is more of each language haha some are more similar than others
In italian we call a cowlick "rose", as the flower, and if you refer to someone's hair saying it's been "cow licked", means it looks greasy (imagine male bangs emo style), or that person has a bedhead. Language is amazing!
Does anybody else switch which side your part is on depending on how your eyebrows look that day? Just me? Lol
I switch it depending on where the gods have cursed me with a new zit.
I part mine whichever way my hair wants to cooperate lol
I switch the the side I part in general about every six months (I part one side or the other everyday in general). For the most part one always prefers a side when styling the hair and I have notice that the part starts thinning a little because of constantly styling to that side... so I change the side I style it to constantly about every six month.... not that this makes any sense in regards to your comment! lol

Yes this is me! Some people curl their hair and it lasts for days. If I curl mine I'm lucky to keep it for a few hours
I have that problem too. Supposedly healthy hair doesn't like to be curled(not counting natural curls)
I also have that problem! I never curl my hair anymore because it never stays, it gets straight as soon as i go out anyway. Would love to know

All the hairstylists I've had throughout the years and none of them ever suggested this. My hair is on the thinner side so to get more volume without having to use product or ratting it out....nice! Thank you so much! Glad I accidentally stumbled across this video!
Great advice! I'm not sure it this applies to everyone, but I've noticed that a middle part could balance out a wider forehead or make your cheekbones appear higher. I have a diamond shaped face and round cheeks and I find that a middle part really cuts away my already narrow forhead and makes my cheeks look even bigger.
Thanks for the tip! You look gorgeous with your hair parted on the side! You look like Charlize Theron!
I think she looks like Brittany Murphy
+Billie Nikolic I agree! Very pretty!
+Erin Gallant she's absolutely gorgeous!
she does
I thought Charlize Theron mixed with Brittany Murphy! 😃😃
YESS! THANK YOU KINDLY, YOU SWEET & GORGEOUS GIRL!
Flipping your mirror image can be a challenge you might wanna talk about. It's hard to do your hair in a great way that you feel comfortable in photos and see what others see
When I try to part my hair differently it naturally moves back to the part I do. Lol my cowlick is so stubborn.
Try using a barret or clip to secure your part!!!
you’re absolutely stunning and your hair is pretty! Don’t let the people on here bring you down or make you feel any less than perfect
Another take on 'elle' would be 'eloquence' (because your hair makes a statement!) You could spell it ~ elle-oquence ~ Dictionary definitions: fluid (fluent), articulate, movingly expressive... these words also describe you Sylvia! Love you and your channel!!
I like that! Or some other play on Elle .....like Ellevated, or Ellevation.......a new experience in hair care.....a step up from what you've EVER tried. Just playing around w it.
My face and head looks awkward when I part my hair in the middle hml
my left eyebrow is a unicorn and the right is a mule mess.
Lmao!!! 😂 Same
Best comparison in the comments section so far lol😂😂
Same
There needs to be more women like you. I love how Encouraging you are and I get a sense of authenticity from your energy. You are beautiful women♥️
I have been doing my own hair for 30 years. You are refreshing and so helpful Thank you.
Great video. You look beautiful with any part.
agreed!!! And such a sweet young woman...
Cowlick part suits you better than any other parting.
Ash M I have 1 cowlick next to my widows peak, a huge one at my crown, and 2 at the nape of my neck. (Perfect if you want a ducktail, circa 1950s.)
I let my hair choose it’s own part. It rarely looks better if I try to fight it.
Ageeed
I can't believe I just watched a 15 min video on hair parts and that I loved every second of it...this girl is so gorgeous and sweet and informative I'm totally hooked on these videos now
Aw thank you you’re sweet :) xx
You are just amazing! You show extreme intelligence about cosmology in your videos. I've been watching many videos to learn more about dying, bleach baths, and maybe even cutting my hair myself at home and hands down you have been the easiest to follow and most informative. I just can't say it enough, amazing, truly amazing!
The little tip around 3:00 about bringing the side part toward the center as it goes back is extremely helpful! Thank you!
I find it difficult to commit to a side part.. I have had a center part MY WHOLE LIFE!!
you seem like a genuinely down to earth person. I like it :) its refreshing!😇
I've had the same hair part for so long, it feels really weird if I try to change it
||-// clique!! 😁
So basically, I was a little curious as to what to do with my hair since I've made some lifestyle changes and am seeing quite some hair growth at the front and found a new cowlick happening right in the middle. So obvious choice, I checked out youtube and found your video about parts and thought: I haven't changed that since puberty maybe I should give it a chance? And I gotta say, you changed my hair game! I never had so much volume and I'm actually not struggeling anymore with my hair falling into my face all the time. So thanks a lot. I'm glad I found your channel!
Turning my cowlick bangs on the other side was a revelation😊 (which I usually blow dry in the morning). Thank you for sharing your tips. Cuts my morning ritual time in half😊
I can't believe I'm in my 30s and I just searched for "how to change my part," but seriously...I've had either a left side part or middle part for my entire life. And it's actually damaging my hair, so I want to change it.
Thanks for this! Love Elle!
AH HA!! I finally just realized who you look like
SHAKIRA.
Yaaaazz
yesssss
yaaaaaaaz
Yeeeeeezzz? :D thanks xxx
I thought the same
If i part my hair in a different way it gives me a headache
humera shaikh same (when my hair was long) and it hurt to wear it up too :(
humera shaikh do you have thick hair? the reason I ask is because mine used give me headaches when I'd change the part, I had to layer the snot out of it.
Mine used to hurt when I wore it up for 1st time start of every summer...it just took a few x's then was fine, then as I wore up more frequently even in winter later, never happens. Sometimes same thing if change direction but again, more I wear different ways, that stopped too. (Maybe if it was trained that way more slowly?)
Yeah same, I overthink that i look uglier.
Doing a high ponytail gives me a headacje
I can't even tell you how much I needed this! Center parts are l the rage but I look like crap! My side part is so much more flattering for my face and features.
THANK YOU for explaining this. I knew my part could totally change the look of my face (I look like a slightly different person if you compare one half of my face to the other), but I wasn’t sure why. I learn so much from you!
Ok, I'm giving you gold here so you'd better snap it up before someone else does...!
Home hair colouring that comes in a multi-use "root touch up" pack. Home colorants (is that a word?! I feel like it is!) always come in a single use pack/bottle that often gets wasted if you only have to do roots, touch up some greys or have short hair. I'd rather pay a bit more to get multiple uses & not waste any product. Also, a home colouring system that is good enough that we don't have to feel ashamed admitting to our hairstylist that we did our colour at home! They always make you feel like a real pleb for attempting a diy!
Totally agree with the wasted product delima; great ideas! Haha! I know what you mean about how stylists make you feel. They don't even have to say a word, just that look on their face says it all; you know, the deadpan stare that says, "Yes, you clearly don't know what the fuck you're doing, and that's why you look like crap."
Angela Lopez Lol! Yep! I recently got asked , with that same deadpan face you speak of, "did you colour your own hair?"?! I felt like a child getting scolded as I hung my head in shame & uttered almost inaudibly "yes"...then...crickets! He might as well have just said "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed". It's ridiculous! Lol!
No no, cowlick in the back is not a blessing 😭 id rather have it in the front tbh. Cuz if I don't get the styling just right it looks really bad
interesting. here you look like Charlize Theron. you're really pretty and I'm in love with your hair color. I wish I could rock the light platinum blonde, but I'm too dark.
Honestly, how dark are you? Cause light blonde sometimes looks better on darker skin because if you're too pale it'll wash you out.
I actually thought the same thing! She does resemble Charlize - like her younger sister.
So that's why she looked so familiar!
I can see your videos the whole day and can't get bored..love you x
Love from India
Charlie medium skin tone. I wear like a medium beige foundation
Loving all these tips, I never even thought about how the parting of my hair can affect my look before
Wow. She definitely knows about hair. Her hair is AMAZING. I didn't even notice her lips were a little crooked until she mentioned it. It's not even noticeable. She's so beautiful. I had no idea there was this much to parting your hair. Fascinating information, and video.
Have you & Shakira ever been seen in the same place? Asking for a friend.
+Keisha B hahaha I wish :-D
Does your friend think she is Shakira ?
I thought she looks like her too!
Keisha B yes she looks just like her.
Wow! I've just discovered your channel. Loved this video and subscribed instantly.
yay, welcome to my channel and thanks for watching :) xx
Affordable RECIPLINE keratin products.
please do a video about what hair color suits a skin tone. i'm asian so i have a yellow undertone (i'm medium to olive skin), i'm thinking of having my hair colored but i don't know which shade of brown would look flattering on my skin. i dont feel like using red shade because i think it makes my skin more tan. i want a color to brighten up my face. thank you.
she has one already :)
Brooke Loustel oh, i see. i'm just a new subscriber that's why. thank you so much!!
go for a cool, light ash brown
Julia N. thank you
I have a yello undertone too To be honest golden toned hair make my skin look more like pink undertone than yellow undertone
so I just watched this video by chance because I'm going back to bangs again & I thought I'd tried everything before (which it feels like I have) except that it's been years since I've played with my part or my bang style after I found what I felt like was the best look for me. what I discovered playing around with these techniques again is that I forgot what they can accomplish! It's always worth re-evaluating what we think is "best" to see if our taste in style has changed or expanded. thank you for reminding me to play & experiment because of what new & great things a fresh look or perspective can do for self-esteem!
Great video. I seriously don't think I've ever seen a vlog which addresses this issue.
I'm naturally very light blonde and I have profusely oily hair, so I just cannot get away with not shampooing on a daily basis. Consider saving money and instead of purchasing often costly dry shampoo; make your own. Take a pretty jar, preferably with a shake -top lid under the top covering. For darker hair mix 2 parts cornstarch and 1 parr cocoa powder. Blondes can use cornstarch alone or for added sheen, add some slightly iridescent light face powder. Use a clean ,large makeup brush, and powder around hairline, part,etc. Let mixture sit, and brush out thoroughly, then style. Same ratio of cornstarch to iridescent face power for light hair.
I have spent a great deal of money on dry shampoos that I ended up not liking.
Thanks again. You're so beautiful and have a lovely spirit.
How do your part your hair so easily??? o.0
ikr!!!
***** If I do it, it doesn't work...
That's what I just said. My hair is too thin to do this ! 😭
Finally watching this from my "Watch Later" list, and am so glad I am. My cow lick is in the front just like yours and I have been experimenting with it. Thank you!!
Your natural one is actually suits you the most
What a difference a part makes in our appearance. Very helpful. Thank you.
I have trouble finding products for my hair because it's highlighted and damaged and it's fine so many products wear it down. Good luck to you and thank you for all your hair tips! ❤️
I don't like center part because I have a 5 head lol
I LOVED kmart's marketing when they did a play on words with their "shipped my pants" and "big gas problem" commercials! Laughed my head off, I thought it was brilliant! If you do a toning shampoo you could totally do something cute like that. Maybe "Give your hair a brass kicking" LOL
+Shannon VanFleet lol a brASS kicking. That's awesome :)
kick brass and take manes
i always use to part my hair centre throughout primary and mid high school, but i would have that same struggle with my cowlick. then my sister suggested that i try to part my hair in the opposite direction on the side going with my cowlick and it looked so much better. the only problem i have is that my hair is pretty thick so sometimes the top of my hair looks flat in comparison to the rest of my hair.
Yes, great tips. No one has ever explained it before like you had. Wish I knew this information years ago. I've worn my part so many different ways over the years. I don't fight anymore. What I now do is flip my head upside down and swing and shake it when looking up. Whichever way it decides to go that day is where I will part it. Not sure if that's the best way to do it, but eh!! Your shampoo idea sounds great. From what I've been watching on y-tube is the minimalist approach. All natural ingredients and some people are hardly washing their hair. One lady washes her hair every 30 days and no one notices. I guess the shampoo companies aren't too impressed. So many a shampoo with natural ingredients would be encouraging. Great video.
I have a cowlick on the exact same place and it feels so good you are talking about it. Thank you very much!
I dint have a part lol i just sleep w my hair in a ponytail and in the morning i just let it flop wherever
I would definitely be interested in a shine spray or even a dry shampoo/dry conditioner that had some temporary toning properties to remove brassiness! too crazy of an idea?
uh that would be a life changer! i think thats an amazing idea!
+Jessica Gabrelcik Right?! Something that can be applied directly to dry hair either manually like we do with argan oil or by spray. How awesome would that be?? :)
In England I'm pretty sure that we have this, I've never tried it to see how good it is but this had reminded me about it and I will have to pick some up to try.
I work at a beauty supply store, and AG has a blonde dry shampoo that allegedly has violet hues to tone temporarily!
To be honest, I've added a small amount of purple conditioner to my after-shower hair cream to help tone 😅😂
I actually didn’t know that cowlick thing. Just thought one side of my hair was being stupid
The trick about parting your hair from the side at the front and moving it to the centre at the back helped sm!!
I like the way your hair is at the natural part it looks so much better than the other ways maybe our body knows what’s best for us 😅
I have a real bad cowlick on the back of my left upper side and maybe you could suggest something, thankyou for your video
ugh me too it's so annoying!
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ᴀ ᴄᴏᴡʟɪᴄᴋ
Great video. Can you make a product to tame frizz/anti humidity. Thanks. Curly haired girl.
ok I will add it to my list of possibilities! :)
yes, for frizzy, curly hair!
So exited for you , I am always looking for a setting spray and I am not talking about hairspray, I want something that I can spray on my almost dry hair before I put my velcro rollers in. I have very fine hair, I like a lot of height on the crown of my head, but when I take my rollers out the curl soon collapses, because of the texture of my hair. Toning shampoo would be great. Your brand could be just called ELLEBANGS or Silvia's hair secrets ( I am rubbish at this lol) Anyway good luck with your new venture and I wish you all the success xoxoNisha
YES NISHA! fave make up youtuber watches my fave hair RUclipsr 😍 also this is a fantastic idea, setting spray rather than heavy mousse would be great 🖒
Ah thank you sweetie, yes I love watching Silvia xoxoNisha
Hi Nisha 🙋🏼💗💜
Hi sweetie xoxo
yes! I totally get what you're talking about. I have fine, medium density hair that has a natural curl. to blow it out smooth is very easy because it's soft...but...it's hard to hold a shape or volume due to the softness. I have to have some damage done (like some highlights) to rough it up a bit in order to keep it from falling totally limp. a spray like mentioned could be revolutionary for those of us with hard to hold textures!
Honestly I think this is all in your head because to me your hair looks similar with each part and they all look great!
I have the very same cowlick in my front hairline like you and struggle to get it right so this video was extremely helpful to me☺️Thank you for sharing💜
She looks like Rita from Dexter
オドリ j
My hair always parts in the middle and before I used to part it on the side. However, the problem now is that whenever I part my hair on the side it doesn't look too good :(
Then maintain the middle part u just have to style it
I think the hair gets used to one thing and forgets the other .... I try to switch it every six months (one side to the other, because I feel the partition thins a little) and I know that the first few times it doesn't look right until it gets used to being parted to that side. Try it a few times, even if you are not too confident, maybe it'll look right again.
This is freaky. I've never put any thought into how, why or where I part my hair. There's so much to know. Mind blown!
I watched your other video on hair colors and how important tones are ... really appreciate it ... and I think you could call your new line Toned. On each product specify for warm skin or cool skin tones. You're truly amazing. Thank you for all of the detailed and informative videos!
You could even sell a tone color wheel so people can figure out what skin color and tone they are ... warm beige or cool nude etc. ... like a collection of swatches they can hold up to their skin to find a match.
Personally, I prefer a middle part cause I just like it when it’s pretty much even on both sides, but I think a side one fits me more.
I just clicked because I didnt even know there was a wrong way for this
Here's how to tell: Do you like the way you part your hair? Then you're doing it right!
Yassss!
4:45 I like your hair like that
Rimsha Khalid Same!!!!
my hair is parted like that
Yeah it looked the best
I would never have imagined this topic could be this informative. Now I will part with purpose - thank you!
Explaining how to work WITH my cowlick makes sense. I have bangs and it really shows by making a part in them. Thanks for the great tips.
I really need a product that would make the hair dry naturally without frizz or when using a blow dryer without using brushes (like for fast drying without styling) to dry down without frizz.
A brand name could either be your channel's name or maybe Goldie Locks
I just asked her the same thing:)
YES please.
Wait... people part their hair EVERY DAY? I do it maybe once a fortnight. Maybe.
XD My hair just got used to my parting. so I do it once in a blue moon lol
I never ever part mine XD
how do you guys not have a part?
+Nadia Howell lol of course I HAVE a part, I just don't part it every day - only when I feel like a change. The part doesn't disappear overnight so I'm confused as to why you'd need to part it every day?
+Glitz you don't experience bed hair?!
I thought I was the only person that used my hair to cover up my slightly unsymmetrical eyebrows!! Lmao
This is such an interested video and I always change where my parting is depending on how I want my hair to look that day!
Thank you so much!! This was very helpful!!! I have thin short hair and now I have more volume!!! Bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your video was very enlightening! Congrats on your new venture! I am curious how wearing glasses effects your most flattering hair part? I feel like my frames change the way my hair falls against my face.
CapeCodBelle I feel the same way because I part my hair in the middle but I hate it when I wear it with my frames because it feels like it's always getting in my face
Can you do a video on how to section your hair when you're bleaching by yourself?
ok I will add that to my filming list :) thanks for watching!
+ellebangs Omg yes! this would be so helpful!
How do you train your hair to go in the opposite direction and stay that way?
Mine stays better if I make sure I part it that way while it air dries!
Part it while wet and blow dry it that way.
Yes, listen to them. Part it, pin in and let it air dry(:
Thank you all!
You have to give it treats everytime you switch it and give it a loving pat
I'm loving your makeup in this video. I realize this was filmed years ago but you should recreate the look for us.
