Ok. I am 35 years in this industry and I want to thank you. YOU broke this
D. O. W. N. ! THIS is where colorists should be focused when it comes to hair coloring NOT the latest product and expecting it to work magic. You have to know WHY and HOW to use the product. YOU ARE FABULOUS!! this video should be MANDATORY watching for anyone who wants to be a GOOD hair colorist. THANK YOU. YOU ARE WONDERFUL. XOXOXO
Ahh thank you SO much!! I really appreciate the positive feedback. ❤️❤️❤️
This made me feel a lot better about my shampoo! I got some pH strips today, and it was a 6! We unfortunately have hard water, so it’s higher, and I feel like that’s what’s contributing to my dry hair. 🥺
Aw yeah! If you have hard water I really like the Redken Detox Cleansing cream to remove buildup and impurities. They also just came out with their Acidic Bonding Shampoo and Conditioner to hydrate and strengthen. Try that one out and you may notice a huge difference! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
This was awesome!! Jammed pack with a lot of information that was also very easy to understand and follow along with! Thanks for making this video!
Thank you so much for stopping by and watching!
taking my licensing test today and this really helped me understand this subject way more thank you for this!
Im so glad i could help you understand this subject a bit more! hope it went well!!
Thank you for the explicit and detailed video. I appreciate the detail is given to explain the meaning of pH. The "Happy Hair Place" is definitely something that has stuck in my mind for good.
It's a real game-changer in the hair care approach.
I can't thank you enough! :)
im so glad you found it helpful! i appreciate you taking the time to watch :)
Thanks buddy for informative,easy, effective video.
Thanks Girl! that was so interesting 💥🙌
So glad you enjoyed it! 🖤
Dope
Thank you for explaining this! I’m in hairschool and needed this to understand the scale better!
Yay! I’m so glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for watching
Wow this was super info........
Thank you so much my friend.....
Waiting for the next upload.......
Girl! you are amazing! having such talent and knowledge to share! I'd love more videos from you since I already LOVE the way you convey basic knowledge about hair
xo
Wow thank you so much! It means so much to hear that. Definitely working on some new stuff coming soon! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful breakdown! If I would have understood this years ago, I would probably still have hair!😂
I started trying out shampoo bars instead of conventional shampoo in my efforts to be more ecofriendly and support small businesses. I have hard water so it was really challenging to find a shampoo bar that didn't leave a waxy residue immediately upon rinsing. I thought I found a good one until it started giving me flaky scalp. I then found out it was possibly because of the PH imbalance so I started using acv spritz in my hair and although it helps a lot, my hair has ultimately become dry & brittle like a broom. I think I am giving up on shampoo bars. This video confirmed something I subtly worried about. I was worried the repeated unbalancing with the shampoo and and then balancing with acv was too much to be doing regularly especially on fine hair like mine, and less washing helped somewhat but not enough. I also had a lot of fallout, the acv routine was a pain it wouldn't rinse out very easily so Id waste water and sometimes it would leave a a slight smell in my hair and bathroom. I poured my heart out here but I am hoping this comes across someone thinking of using shampoo bars and is trying to figure this eco friendly shampoo thing out like me. Everyone's different of course, just sharing my story. So in efforts to not give up on trying out eco friendly products I am now gonna try soap-nut shampoo off amazon this is supposedly ph balanced and the soap nuts supposedly naturally bond well with hard water so we shall see.
Wow thank you so much for sharing your experience! I have had that same experience with shampoo bars leaving my hair feeling very coated. After the acv I like to do a Conditioner or mask to hydrate the hair and counteract that little smell that gets left behind. Try looking into Davines as they are eco friendly with their packaging and are great products. Same with ouai. They use eco friendly packaging and even sell refill bags to reduce waste. Good luck with your journey and please let me know what you find! :)

Hey! Thank you for this video, it is very useful.
Before, I used to wash my hair with Marseille soap. It used to dry a little, but the hair would easily bounce back to normal, especially if I oiled it. The only real issue was the occasional remaining soap residues and the fact that it did not help with dandruff at all.
During high school, I decided to try shampoo out of curiosity - and for conformism's sake. However, I never managed to find a good shampoo in three years. I would often change brands, but most of the time, my scalp would feel itchy or even burn a little whenever I applied the shampoo. Then, my hair would grow greasy or thinner. The conditioners never worked in the long run either.
Therefore, I have recently decided to switch back to the old ways. Still, I want to do things properly and improve the quality of my hair, which leads me to my typing this awfully long comment - I apologize in advance - asking for your advice.
So, here I come:
1) Should I even be using Marseille soap, or was I messing my hair up from the start? Should really give up on shampoo?
2) To avoid Marseille soap build-ups and balance my hair's pH, I plan on using ACV. Is it true that ACV brings out red highlights?
3) Since having the pH of the hair swing could cause damage, would ACV alone work to wash it, if correctly dosed?
4) To moisturize my hair, I use a mix of olive oil and lavender oil. Is it okay? Would you recommend any other oils or moisturizers for very long straight dark brown hair that easily grease?
5) Is henna really less damaging for hair dying? (I know, that one came out of nowhere...)
If you have read through this, thank you. I am sorry, it was long, my English must be incorrect and I sound like a ranting grandma - mostly because I have taken my hair routine after my parents and grandmother, so I am very clueless about hair products.
Have a nice day!
hi! thank you so much for watching. I hadn't heard of marseille soap before but after doing some research it looks like it has a high ph of 9.5 which can cause the hair to dry out. ill do my best to answer your questions :)
1. i think regular shampoo and conditioner is going to be a great place to start for you to get your hair and scalp feeling better. i really like redken color extend magnetics shampoo and conditioner. once every two weeks i use the redken detox clarifying shampoo to remove buildup from my scalp from styling products and it works wonders. just make sure to follow with a deep conditioner, like olaplex #8.
2. it can lighten hair if left in for too long, or if you do it too often. only do the acv treatment once every couple weeks and leave in for just a few minutes.
3. yes, some people have done a no-shampoo regimen to just cleanse with acv. it can be a process to get your hair used to it but alot of people swear by it. try it out!
4. olive oil has such a big molecule size that it cant penetrate the hair cuticle so it can just leave it feeling greasy. i love the olaplex #8 moisture mask.
5. and henna does tend to be marketed as being more "natural" but it can be a nightmare to remove. try finding a salon that does Redken Shades EQ glosses. it is an acidic color that leave your hair feeling smoother and healthier than before.
hope all of this helped!
@@ChromaCrowns Hey! Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Since last time, I've actually tested new stuff! I tried the ACV-only regimen, a glycerin soap bar, and a new shampoo.
I tested the ACV for a month. It worked well enough and I had some fun using pH paper to bring the pH level up. I am not so fond of the smell, but at least it disappears as soon as it's rinsed away. I think it did lighten my hair a little but it might just be the sun. The issue is, as you said, I should not use it too often while I prefer to wash my hair at least twice a week.
The glycerin bar was the one I preferred. I haven't got the opportunity to test Marseille soap bars again for comparison, but I can tell it doesn't dry my hair as much as I recall Marseille soap did. I haven't checked, but I suppose it was closer to the "hair's happy place".
After some research, I decided to give shampoo another chance. The one I tried was sulfate-free, pH-balanced, and contained monoi. My scalp seems to have gotten used to it by now. I might stick to it for a while longer.
Thank you for recommending all these products I didn't know. I'll try them out next. I am particularly curious about the brand you recommended for the moisturizer. And I can't wait to get my hair dyed!
You explained that so well!! I'm in cosmetology school so it helped a lot! You should make more videos!
im so glad you enjoyed the video! good luck in cosmetology school!
thank you so much! hoping to get back into a regularly scheduled program soon :)

Awsome video
Thank you so much for watching!
There are so many ingredients out there that claim to be beneficial for hair. Can you give some insight on the best or what ingredients are good for what type of hair? Example, olive oil, Shea butter, coconut oil, palm oil, castor oil marocan oil etc
Noted! ill have to make a video about this. thanks for the request
very nice
Thank you for watching!
I love intelligent humans 🖤
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you so much for the awsome video
thank you for watching! glad you found it helpful :)
Wow such an informaive video. I did not ecpect this? What about applying essesntial oils just after a hair dye like just for men gx? I'm a guy. Would that work to bring the ph down?
Hi! Thanks for watching. Im not sure the ph of essential oils, but if they fall in the slightly acidic range it COULD work to seal the hair cuticle down. You can also use a deep conditioner, or a post-color acidic sealer like the one from Biolage. hope this helped!
I used baking soda on my hair and the hair became dry i havent tried to neutralise the ph level of my hair, so its been more than 6 months with my hair being dry, i thought my hair would return to its natural ph level.
How do you apply de apple cider vinegar to your hair??
after you shampoo you can pour it all over your hair and let it sit for a minute or two. then rinse and follow with conditioner :)
can you talk about ph and how it relates to hair porosity please? im so confuseddd
Hi! The higher the hair's ph, the more porous it is going to be. Alkaline substances raise and disturb the hair cuticle leaving it with more "holes." Sealing the cuticle down with slightly acidic products helps to smooth down and close up the porosity. hope this helped!
@@ChromaCrowns does that mean we should use high ph shampoos and low ph conditioners then? to open the cuticle to let the dirt come out and then to seal the cuticle so no moisture gets lost in the end?
@@dapjnekerem2945 yes that is the basic idea, but not necessarily too "high" or "low" ph. staying in the range of 3-6 helps keep the hair in the "happy place" :)
@@ChromaCrowns Thank you so much! You're the absolute best!!
how often do you do the ACV hair cleanse treatment ?
i like to do it about once every 2-3 weeks :)
How do I know my hair pH is balanced?
New subscriber here ✋ i want to know how often should i use apple cider vinegar?
hi there! thanks for the sub! everyones hair and scalp is different but I like to do it for myself about every 2 -3 weeks. start there and see how your hair and scalp does :)
Can you refer a shampoo that is low low.
ive been really loving Redken Color Extend Magnetics. smells yummy and is color safe and sulfate free. :)
thank you so much very helpful !!
i used hot head & using coconut oil for my hair twice and my hair became very frizzy & dry ?
does it have to do with PH level ?
how to balance the PH level in hair ? any Tips ?
hi! possibly, but it can also be that it needs more moisture. coconut oil is great for surface hydration but you need something that can penetrate more. to repair damaged hair i LOVE Olaplex and their new treatment. i made a video using their new product that you can check out on my channel and its amazing for repairing the hair and adding hydration. hope this helps!
Hi so is a 3.5-4.5 a better range than 4.5-5.5?
I am desperately searching for some answers. My hair has become so greasy. Not a little but to the point that every single time I wash it, it instantly is greasy underneath and dries very greasy. I can't get it clean. I've tried every shampoo, don't condition, only wash twice a week, rinse very thorough, etc. What's odd is when I go in to have my hair colored at the salon it is the only time my hair comes out clean. She does use a ph balancing shampoo, but I brought home a sample and I am back to the same greasiness. The shampoo is ClarpHx and they also do a clarifying mask of this same brand. The more I am reading about ph, could this be the issue? My scalp is also a little itchy and flaky even though it's so greasy. Any ideas??? I can't figure this out and it's so frustrating. Thank you!!!!!
i hear you! I get so greasy also. Could be a combination of how well the stylist is scrubbing your scalp and the products being used. color is also alkaline so that will open up the strands of hair and make it feel really clean afterwards. i really like redkens detox shampoo and use once a week to really break up the oils and clean the hair and scalp. also, only apply conditioner through the ends of the hair and avoid the scalp.you can also try a dry shampoo to absorb any oils between shampoos because the longer you go without washing your scalp will not be as greasy. hope that info helped!
@@ChromaCrowns thank you so much! I will try the Redkens shampoo if it is ok to use weekly. The only detox shampoo I could find that worked so far was Living Proof Triple Detox. Other detox shampoos still left my hair greasy underneath right after showering. This issue developed in the last year and I can't figure it out. Unless I used the detox shampoo for every washing I couldn't get it clean. I know it's not good to do that either.
should the acv rinse happen before shampoo or after conditioner?
Hi! I like to do it after shampoo and before a deep moisture treatment or conditioner. :)
@@ChromaCrowns could you explain why, please? shouldnt you use it after conditioner since it is low ph n closes the cuticle?
@@dapjnekerem2945 sure! i find that the acv rinse doesnt give me enough moisture or hydration. i like to finish off with conditioner to soften the hair and moisturize it. also makes it easier to detangle :)
@@ChromaCrowns thank you!! that really helps me to understand it all! oof, it all gets so confusing haha
So I have a shampoo with the ph between 5 and 6, and alkaline around 7-8, so I'm just wondering since the alkaline is higher than the ph does that mean I have to use a rinse after or does the ph in the shampoo take care of the alkaline ?
Hi! what do you mean "takes care of the alkaline"? if im guessing correctly i would say that you can use the acidic rinse i mentioned in the video or use redkens new acidic bonding concentrate. :)
Can I do this on damaged hair that's been bleached?
Yes! Also check out my new video for a tutorial on a deep repairing treatment :)
Is this also for a black person's hair?
of course! hair is hair :)
@@ChromaCrowns wrong
Just because the texture is different doesn’t mean it isn’t hair. 😆 the ph scale still applies to all hair
I am 14 years old
thanks for watching!
can i use white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar??
hi! i would recommend sticking to apple cider vinegar as white vinegar is more acidic and can be more drying for the hair. thanks for the question!
Ph alkaline more hydrated ph acidic less hydrated, more acidic negative side affects, more alkaline more positive side affects, 7.2-7.6 cellular growth … probably 7and8. Wow hair likes acidic for maybe hair is a substance derived from oil!?
Can you recommend good shampoos?
Hi! Depends on what type of hair you have and what end results you are looking for. What are some needs you are having?

I like your vdo 💫
