I would love you to make another video about being stress free and avoiding certain type of content yet staying informed. You really seem lighthearted and energetic and I think part of it it's your diligence about it ☺️
Videos I would LOVE to see: 1. a hair tutorial from start to finish with the hairstyle you're wearing in this video. 2. A video doing a deep dive into "The Empowered Wife" sharing how you apply Doyle's secrets to your own life and marriage. Hope you see this Caitlin - you are so incredible & I've been a fan since the beginning. Side note: your blog posts got me through so many difficult times ❤
THANK YOU for this!! I swear it's so hard to find good info for those of us with fine hair. It's such a challenging texture and I feel you so hard on literally anything breaking your hair!
Yes, I've been looking since high school, not than 10 years ago, but then illness the past couple years really screwed my hair and then having a baby this year and Im down to like 3 hairs left on my head lol I haven't really looked for hair info just cus it hasnt been priority but I already follow Mrs Midwest so this was so nice to find out she had fine hair!
One of the best pieces of advice I've gotten from Caitlyn is to wash your hair more often. I also have very fine hair and it would get oily so quickly. I would try to wash my hair as little as possible because of the common rhetoric of "if you want your hair to grow, wash it as little as possible". That was wrecking my hair! Now I wash it every other day, and my hair has never been healthier 😊
Yessss this!!! I was constantly like “why does it feel so WRONG to not wash my hair more often”. It was doing nothing for my hair type to go days and days between washes and I thought something was wrong with me lol. Nope, just wrong advice for this hair type!
I love this! It might sound silly to focus on appearance when talking about health but flipping through photos from a very difficult time of my own life I straight up looked worse, (shorter damaged hair, overweight, frumpy) and it was very indicative of my stress levels. Also I love the idea of intentionally building life around minimizing unnecessary stress- if you ever make a video around it it would be amazing 😊
Even as a wavy/curly girl, many of these tips are wonderful! I have had so much growth following a similar routine! I just use slightly heavier products!
@@Makai-mq2uv yes, I think mine are pretty fine too. My hair is thick, so I never thought of it as fine. But a true curly hair routine weighs it down too much, and it seems to break more!
Same! And these tips work better for me than most curly advice. Super fine curly hair in my experience is more similar to fine straight hair that course curls
@@Makai-mq2uv That’s interesting! I never knew that curly fine stranded hair is similar to fine straight hair. I just clicked on the video because I don’t believe in locking myself in a category. What’s your routine like? I’m just starting to see growth. My hair is past my armpits now. What I do differently is I get mini twists at the hair salon and leave them in for 4-5 weeks and make sure I moisturise. Then I wear my hair untwisted for a couple weeks to give myself a break from the heat. I realised that box braids is a hit or miss for me. My ends are sometimes feel fried after taking them down and I have to trim them afterwards.
@ that statement that it is similar is just based on my experience. I am sure many people would COME AT ME for that statement. But why I say that is because of the weight of products mainly. As well as frequency of washing. First off your hair is stunning! My hair is is 3b/c so not exactly your type, but very fine ringlets. For more context of if I dry my hair pulled back in a twist in a clip it will dry straight-ish. So the littlest bit of traction with pull t straight and a bit more will break it. I shampoo every 3rd day. I use Kristen ess when I clarify. Usually every other shampoo is a clarify unless I use a lot of extra product. On days I don’t clarify I use the loreal sulfate free dandruff line. Excellent for product buildup removal without such a deep clean as a clarifier. . I adore the loreal tub mask “elastic bc fiber mask” I believe for my deep conditioner. I use it when I clarify For my regular conditioner, I haven’t found my perfect fit but right now I am using carols daughter black vanilla. Nice, average, doesn’t weigh me down too much. The biggest change for me was using a heavy sulfate clarifier every week. Sticking to all sulfate free stuff as a lot of curly influencers recommend just left my curls weighed down and my scalp irritated. As far as the rest, all Mrs Midwest’s tips. I diffuse my curls on cool with lots of leave in/heat protector. I use Eva NYC 10 in one for fine hair. And a hint of tresemmes volume spay at the roots. This give me an extra root lift and allows me to heat protect my root without getting leave in on my scalp. Satin pillowcases and or bonnets are amazing. And I occasionally oil my ends before washing, but not regularly. If you have any tips or products I’d love to know!
You're so pretty, I see the light of Christ throught you! Glory to God ❤ thank u for being such a positive influence. Ps: I' m brazilian and still learning english 🇧🇷
I've always wanted this video from the real life Aurora :D and even though my hair texture is like not even close to yours, I love learning other women's beauty secrets :)
Love! It was so validating to hear that for some people you just have to wash your hair more frequently! I tried the once a week hairwashing thing, and my scalp could only go three days before it started hurting and getting itchy. Started washing my hair daily, and I haven't had any issues since. I'm pregnant now, and it has changed some things, I can go a couple days without washing if I want to, I guess my scalp is producing less oil so I haven't had any problems, but I still wash every day unless I just don't have time. Quick little hair tip: rinsing your hair once every other week with diluted ACV is a great way to remove buildup from your scalp!
we live way under poverty line and in student loan debt... I've decided to cut my own hair and get cheap products for my hair and it's doing great! as Caitlin said, if you have what you need for your hair, it'll thrive!
My hair is past my tail bone! Longest I’ve ever had it! I changed my diet(no processed foods or anything with sugar, went gluten free, only eat what God gave us to eat), exercise about 3 - 4xs a week, drink lots of water, eat lots of protein(mostly animal based protein: meat(no pork), 2 duck eggs a day, raw milk), sleep on a mulberry silk pillowcase, & I take the Garden Of Life Raw Prenatal vitamins 3xs a day. I get compliments daily on how long & beautiful my hair looks.
Yes on the stress! Also a positive ANA girlie here with very long hair and stress had to be reduced as much as possible. I would love to see a cleaning routine video and how you keep that low stress too!
Based on your advice I switched to sleeping on a silk pillowcase about two years ago and it has truly made such a difference. My hair is not down to my hips yet, but we're almost there. :) Thank you for expanding on that topic.
I would watch you rehash literally all of your old videos, I look forward to your content so much! I feel like even in a video about hair, I’m still learning how to live a more peaceful life. Lots of love and I’m always praying for you! 🫶🏻
This may be controversial to some, but using acne wash on your scalp twice a week can do wonders. Also taking a quality wild caught omega everyday & pumpkin seed oil pills. Not only do these supplements strengthen hair & nails, but they also regulate your hormones, help with fertility, & smooth skin. I can't recommend these enough from experience.
Mrs. Midwest: I love your videos. You are so expressive, intelligent and beautiful. I too had some extreme issues with my hair in recent times but everything is working out now and my hair looks full and beautiful. I am a 45 year old man, also have long flowing wavy hair and even better my hair is not grey. I was losing my hair too but figured out how to regrow it from genetic hair loss, stress, malnutrition, hormone imbalance and could probably help your hubby if he wants to regrow his. I have plenty of tips not mentioned in your video. I could talk for hours on end to you about hair. I've been obsessed with long hair since nursery school and haven't changed one bit. I too love feminine related subjects, femininity, being feminine, looking feminine and so much that I truly wish I was a woman. Not sure how you feel about feminine men but honestly your videos are a goldmine of information for people like myself who are men but really should have been born women. If you look at the analytics of your videos I wouldn't be surprised if you have a sizable percentage of men too who watch your videos (and not just because you're gorgeous but) due to the wealth of information and interesting topics you choose to discuss.
I just subscribed 🎉 You are amazing!!!! I am a curly headed girl. What you touched on was bang on!! As a curly girl I wash my hair once a week and blow dry every wash and style sometimes. I only use a few products. Of course shampoo and conditioner or deep conditioner. I use a leave in for my blowout and sometimes a heat protectant when I use a flat iron or curling iron. On days when I only blow dry I will use a serum on some days of the week. I do not put anything on my scalp. I brush my hair multiple times a day and wear a bonnet to bed. I am currently growing my hair out from a layered bob. I am in love with your hair and your tips!!! Exited for more videos from you!!! Peace and Love!!!
Love your hair! This is good advice, I have fine hair also and a lot of these tips improved my hair substantially within a few months. I also STOPPED slathering rosemary oil all over my head, instead started washing my hair regularly and hair oils just on the ends and midsections. I also recommend Tessa Peay and Blowout Professor on RUclips.
Great tips for fine haired girlies!! I noticed a huge difference in my hair growth when i started double cleansing; i wash my scalp with shampoo, use a tool that cleans the scalp-very gently- then rinse & shampoo one more time before applying a conditioner or conditioning mask. Double cleansing ensures cleanliness of the scalp so hair can grow! I personally wash every third day...
I just love every video you put out! Wanted to say I have followed some of this advice from your previous video- washing hair more often (every 2-3 days now, it used to be once a week), using a blow dryer and not cutting it. They work ladies! My husband is always telling me my hair is getting longer now. And its getting past my waist! I struggle a lot with breakage. My advice is to do heatless curls and get a wood bristle hair brush. Both do wonders!
Yay a video from someone who has the same hair type as me! I also have to wash my hair every second day otherwise it begins to look wet. However, I very rarely blow-dry my hair.. I just braid my hair after the shower and let it dry as when I take the braids out in the morning my hair has a really nice wave and it just gives it a bit of volume.
Perfect timing for me! ❤️ I'm really looking to put more care into my beauty routines and enhance my natural features more ✨ Thank you for sharing your tips! You're beautiful!
I’ve been to a Korean head spa while living here and it’s life changing! So relaxing but also I learned a ton! I have hair like yours Caitlyn and it’s finally starting to grow now that i simply treat it like it’s fragile!
I'm a soon to be first time mom and I will be staying at home - I am going to start watching some of your videos when ur kids were newborns, I need lots of tips! ❤️ Keep up the good work you are always glowing!
I swear this is exactly what I needed in my life right now! As a mom of 3, and dealing with so much stress, I’m losing my hair but thanks to you, I’m more hopeful! I have thin fine hair like you so I will take all your advice. I also do agree with the washing of hair every other day!🥰Love love seeing you😘
I really enjoyed your last hair video, it helped bring how much little actions like not taking care around a zipper can rip out hairs, thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Love this, and will echo most of it. I have very similar fine hair, except mine is naturally curly! I will say, box dye and oil on my roots have been absolutely fine and part of my routine regularly (I gently refresh my dye every 6 weeks) and I currently have the BEST hair of my life! I thought my hair simply stopped growing at a certain length but over the last year or two I’ve been able to get it to grow longer! Still some room for growth as far as how healthy it is, I’m trying to tame the frizz, but it’s still by far the best it’s ever been. Things I do the same as you: Clarifying shampoo every wash, washing every 2 days. Gentle hair brush Heat protectant on the ends Leave in conditioner sometimes, oil sometimes Focused on nutrition and protein Hair scrubber in the shower when I wash! Protective sleep styles (loose bun on top of my head with a spiral hair tie) I also blow dry my hair dry after each wash and use some form of heat (usually a curling iron) every second day. That hasn’t ruined my curl pattern either - another myth. If I wanted to wear my hair naturally curly my curls are fine - because I’ve worked on my hair health!
Loved this video. Totally different topic question I would love to hear you talk about more: On your IG stories I saw someone list you as a “NON sad beige Christian girl” and this topic piqued my interest as I’ve been thinking about it more lately. Being a Christian is the biggest part of who I am. But lately I’ve been noticing… a lot of Christians seem to be afraid of life or of standing out, and I think I’m one of them (or at least I used to be). God didn’t intend this. He made us unique and fun with the ability to enjoy life for a reason. Like… I wonder why we are this way? An overblown fear of sinning to the point that we don’t embrace our true selves? I think you are a great example of someone who embraces life fully and doesn’t let fear drive any of your actions. Anyway, love your channel!
Thank you so much for this video. I was currently following the wavy girl trend but I notice that my hair is looking more greasy with all of the products I was using. I was shocked when you mentioned about how delicate hair gets tangled so easily. My boyfriend and I got for motorcycle rides and I would come home with my hair clip almost falling out and huge knots and tangles that hurt when I would try to untangle them. I am definitely going to skip on the hairdresser appointments now. My mom’s family is Mennonite and they have long beautiful hair. You inspired me to get in touch with them to talk to them about their hair care. Also will definitely be getting the conditioner. My current conditioner I think is way too heavy it has all these oils that I don’t think are working for me. Love your hair, it is my hair goal. ❤
Actually if you hair is split then you need to be more regular with maintenance trims (hairdresser appointments) because once a hair gets split, it will just keep splitting up the hair shaft and instead of that hair getting longer with time it will look thinner and shorter despite the fact that hair is growing at the same rate.
Love this!! ❤ thank you!! My hair is the complete opposite of yours but I still feel that there were some helpful tips in there! Thank you for sharing!! Your hair looks so good and each video I am blown away by it! 😊
Hi! ✨ I have a different hair texture than yours and every single one of these tips I also use and have helped my hair thrive and grow out close to my waist 🎉 I love how you pointed out the fact that blow drying your hair has actually helped it grow. I’ve noticed the same with my hair texture. Even tho it is different than yours, it is also a fine hair texture and very delicate. Keeping it blow dried has maintained it in a stronger state and I see way less breakage! ❤ ❤
So encouraging to see a video on MY hair type 😭 So much of the advice online is for other hair types! I have super long hair but it’s damaged, I think I need a nice blunt cut 6-10” off to start more fresh and then follow up with these recommendations. Thank youuuuuu
It‘s so interesting to see your hair care routine. You where the one inspiring me to wash my hair more often and it‘s thriving since. Eating more meat has also been essential for me to get my hair to grow. I have thicker hair that feels structured and seems to rip off by just hair strands touching each other. I‘ve always avoided hydrating products because I was afraid of my hair being oily but in the last years strongly hydrating smoothing products have been the saving grace for my hair. Don‘t be scared to try out heavy products if lighter ones don‘t make your hair feel silky🥰 Lots of love from germany
I have hyperemesis this pregnancy and my hair has been breaking off from a lack of nutrition. I can't wait to help fix it postpartum and will use all of these tips 🙏🏻 thank you
Oh and also couldn’t agree more on the more frequent washing! I have the same fine hair type as you and my hair looked at its worst when I would be “training” it by only washing 2x a week. That’s the quickest way to ruin your hair. Now I also wash it every other day and sometimes everyday if I break a good sweat but it’s so much healthier with more frequent washing. ☺️
Love this video!! Your hair is gorgeous!!! Question, if you don’t use the Dyson airwrap or other hot brushes, what blow drying method are you using? Regular round brush and hairdryer? Or do you just rough dry it then curling it? What do you prefer?
That’s interesting with the long hair bonnet. I just use a short one but I gently braid my hair or put it in a gentle bun and it works. I may have to try one of those next and see what it does. I usually do oil on the ends at night after brushing my hair.
Love this! After your last video, I started using a clarifying shampoo. I have auburn hair and the red shines through so much more when using a clarifying shampoo!
Yes for scalp health! I have wavy/curly hair but very fine and I only go 4 days at most. I do not recommend clashing for people with my texture and density. I actually wash a little more often when I wear my hair naturally, and I avoid dry shampoo. I do use texture spray though 😬 but not too often. I’m saying all this as a pro stylist. Oh also I totally think it’s fine to not cut your hair. The industry will say you’ll have split ends, but that’s not necessarily true for a lot of people. Also it doesn’t consider people like me who go through periods of hair loss due to hashimotos, and whose wavy hair will look damaged when it’s not, it’s just part of being a wavy sometimes.
I have very coily hair and I wash my hair everyday! People think I’m crazy but my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been. When my hair is straightened, it’s at the base of my neck in a bob. I hope to grow it out by continuing this daily washing routine. Great tips! I drink whole milk as well. I love it before bed to sleep deep! 🐄
I have baby fine hair too. I had been washing and blow drying my hair every single day since middle school (I’m 32). Well, I jumped on the “train your hair” trend a few years ago and my hair had never been so damaged. Dry shampoo destroyed my hair. I honestly do not know why I jumped on that trend in the first place, I didn’t have ANY breakage before.
Thank you so much for this video!! I have fine hair like you and all the popular shampoos\conditioners make it look so much worse. Also air-drying! This is so validating
Thank you for this very informative video! I also have thin/easily breakable hair and it’s hard to find hair content creators that weren’t naturally blessed with thick long hair.
Yes!! I have fine semi wavy hair that breaks super easily. I always tried to go multiple days between washes and use dry shampoo and I discovered that the dry shampoo was ruining my hair causing it to dry out and break off while also causing buildup in my scalp. Now I wash more frequently and my hair is getting healthier. The frequent conditioning and cleaning off the oil and product regularly is essential for my hair. I still have dry shampoo for days when I genuinely don't have time to wash my hair, but try to avoid it. I still have layers in my hair but next haircut I'm going to try doing a blunt cut
Thanks so much for this!! I also have fine blonde hair and this was eye-opening! Could you please do a video about managing stress, especially for a college kid? Thanks so much!!
Had my AirPods on listening to your video while washing dishes late at night. Baby and hubby are asleep. I thought I was hearing their voices and even took my airpods out to listen a few times until I realized it’s your husband in the video with your kiddos 😂. Thought I was going crazy for a second there
Your hair is so beautiful and your natural shade of blonde is perfection 💖 So funny you used to bleach it. It reminds me of younger me dying my hair "dark auburn" with box hair dye in high school (and doing it so often it fried the crud out of it). And I naturally have brown hair with auburn highlights. What were we thinking? Lol 😭
Although we have different ethnicity's and hair types so like you said some of the things that work for you are the opposite of what works for me, doesn't matter, each to their own😘. But I have a great hair tip ( do your own research of course) I take msm powder I also mix it with rosehip/camu camu. Be warned this is not easy to take the taste is bitter, however I am pretty used to it now, it has made my hair grow so long. Hope this helps someone
I love this advice. I cut my hair into a pixie because I was so frustrated with it postpartum. I have the exact same hair type and I’ve been dreaming of long hair for years. :)
I would be so happy to get a makeup and hair tutorial. I am pregnant with our second baby and our son will be about 17 months old when the baby comes. I am so lost in beauty related stuff now days and cant seem to find time or inspiration to make my self feel pretty. You look stunning btw
I also have baby fine hair that needs to be washed every other day. I have also tried to spread out washes and it negatively affected my hair. Last year I chopped off many inches to kind of start over and recover from PP hair loss. But after a year of leaving it alone and washing it more often it has gone from shoulder length past my bra band in one year. I also try to eat at least 100g of protein. I want to keep growing it. It’s refreshing to see someone suggest affordable products! Thanks for this video
There is silicone in that herbal essence but silicone is actually really great for fragile hair and it’s very light weight on a molecular level. It’s great at protecting your hair and preventing breakage!
Hi Mrs 🥰 could you add to your shopping list the prenatal vitamins you liked the most? I have been taking care of my hair all these years, but never invested in one vitamin that also helps with the nails 😍 I would love to try those and see my paper thin nails become stronger 🙏
I do a combo of air drying and blow drying. I use a brush called “wet brush” for my hair bow. I had a bamboo paddle brush with wood bristles and it was breaking my hair. The Wet Brush brand is really good. I also have a boar bristle hair brush.
You look great! Thanks for the advice. Curious when you decided to start lightening your hair again? Is it done professionally or at home? It looks great:).
I live in the nordics, so winter/autumn/spring clothes break my hair very aggressively, the combo of the hat, scarf and coat :( the hair at the back of my head suffers the most, being MUCH shorter than the rest of my hair. what do the rest of you use as a protective hairstyle for this issue, especially when youre going somewhere and want to look presentable?
Most relatable video for me!!!! We have the same hair type. I can never find good advice for my type of hair! This was amazing. Give me all the advice you have, woman! 🩷 ❤

This may be controversial to some, but using acne wash on your scalp twice a week can do wonders. Also taking a quality wild caught omega everyday & pumpkin seed oil pills. Not only do these supplements strengthen hair & nails, but they also regulate your hormones, help with fertility, & smooth skin. I can't recommend these enough from experience.
I am always mesmerized by Caitlin's hair in all her videos
I like how you are doing your eyebrows and makeup in general; looks more natural and gorgeous
This is me !!! Very fine brown hair!! I did the blunt cut and protein! Thanks for this!!! I have my hair past my shoulders and its healthy
Mrs. Midwest: I love your videos. You are so expressive, intelligent and beautiful. I too had some extreme issues with my hair in recent times but everything is working out now and my hair looks full and beautiful. I am a 45 year old man, also have long flowing wavy hair and even better my hair is not grey. I was losing my hair too but figured out how to regrow it from genetic hair loss, stress, malnutrition, hormone imbalance and could probably help your hubby if he wants to regrow his. I have plenty of tips not mentioned in your video. I could talk for hours on end to you about hair. I've been obsessed with long hair since nursery school and haven't changed one bit. I too love feminine related subjects, femininity, being feminine, looking feminine and so much that I truly wish I was a woman. Not sure how you feel about feminine men but honestly your videos are a goldmine of information for people like myself who are men but really should have been born women. If you look at the analytics of your videos I wouldn't be surprised if you have a sizable percentage of men too who watch your videos (and not just because you're gorgeous but) due to the wealth of information and interesting topics you choose to discuss.
I just subscribed 🎉 You are amazing!!!! I am a curly headed girl. What you touched on was bang on!! As a curly girl I wash my hair once a week and blow dry every wash and style sometimes. I only use a few products. Of course shampoo and conditioner or deep conditioner. I use a leave in for my blowout and sometimes a heat protectant when I use a flat iron or curling iron. On days when I only blow dry I will use a serum on some days of the week. I do not put anything on my scalp. I brush my hair multiple times a day and wear a bonnet to bed. I am currently growing my hair out from a layered bob. I am in love with your hair and your tips!!! Exited for more videos from you!!! Peace and Love!!!
I know in previous videos you’ve mentioned that you lift weights. Would love it if you shared your routine! ❤
Love your hair! This is good advice, I have fine hair also and a lot of these tips improved my hair substantially within a few months. I also STOPPED slathering rosemary oil all over my head, instead started washing my hair regularly and hair oils just on the ends and midsections.
I also recommend Tessa Peay and Blowout Professor on RUclips.
I love an updated glow up video! Especially after becoming a mom ☺️
Great tips for fine haired girlies!! I noticed a huge difference in my hair growth when i started double cleansing; i wash my scalp with shampoo, use a tool that cleans the scalp-very gently- then rinse & shampoo one more time before applying a conditioner or conditioning mask. Double cleansing ensures cleanliness of the scalp so hair can grow! I personally wash every third day...
I just love every video you put out!
Wanted to say I have followed some of this advice from your previous video- washing hair more often (every 2-3 days now, it used to be once a week), using a blow dryer and not cutting it. They work ladies! My husband is always telling me my hair is getting longer now. And its getting past my waist! I struggle a lot with breakage. My advice is to do heatless curls and get a wood bristle hair brush. Both do wonders!
Yay a video from someone who has the same hair type as me! I also have to wash my hair every second day otherwise it begins to look wet. However, I very rarely blow-dry my hair.. I just braid my hair after the shower and let it dry as when I take the braids out in the morning my hair has a really nice wave and it just gives it a bit of volume.
Oh my goodness when your darling boys walked in ❤🥹 they are just adorable
I would love to see you do a skincare video! I look forward to every video Caitlin and look up to you so much!
Perfect timing for me! ❤️ I'm really looking to put more care into my beauty routines and enhance my natural features more ✨ Thank you for sharing your tips! You're beautiful!
I’ve been to a Korean head spa while living here and it’s life changing! So relaxing but also I learned a ton! I have hair like yours Caitlyn and it’s finally starting to grow now that i simply treat it like it’s fragile!
I'm a soon to be first time mom and I will be staying at home - I am going to start watching some of your videos when ur kids were newborns, I need lots of tips! ❤️ Keep up the good work you are always glowing!
I swear this is exactly what I needed in my life right now! As a mom of 3, and dealing with so much stress, I’m losing my hair but thanks to you, I’m more hopeful! I have thin fine hair like you so I will take all your advice. I also do agree with the washing of hair every other day!🥰Love love seeing you😘
I really enjoyed your last hair video, it helped bring how much little actions like not taking care around a zipper can rip out hairs, thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Love this, and will echo most of it. I have very similar fine hair, except mine is naturally curly! I will say, box dye and oil on my roots have been absolutely fine and part of my routine regularly (I gently refresh my dye every 6 weeks) and I currently have the BEST hair of my life!
I thought my hair simply stopped growing at a certain length but over the last year or two I’ve been able to get it to grow longer! Still some room for growth as far as how healthy it is, I’m trying to tame the frizz, but it’s still by far the best it’s ever been.
Things I do the same as you:
Clarifying shampoo every wash, washing every 2 days.
Gentle hair brush
Heat protectant on the ends
Leave in conditioner sometimes, oil sometimes
Focused on nutrition and protein
Hair scrubber in the shower when I wash!
Protective sleep styles (loose bun on top of my head with a spiral hair tie)
I also blow dry my hair dry after each wash and use some form of heat (usually a curling iron) every second day. That hasn’t ruined my curl pattern either - another myth. If I wanted to wear my hair naturally curly my curls are fine - because I’ve worked on my hair health!
Loved this video. Totally different topic question I would love to hear you talk about more: On your IG stories I saw someone list you as a “NON sad beige Christian girl” and this topic piqued my interest as I’ve been thinking about it more lately. Being a Christian is the biggest part of who I am. But lately I’ve been noticing… a lot of Christians seem to be afraid of life or of standing out, and I think I’m one of them (or at least I used to be). God didn’t intend this. He made us unique and fun with the ability to enjoy life for a reason. Like… I wonder why we are this way? An overblown fear of sinning to the point that we don’t embrace our true selves? I think you are a great example of someone who embraces life fully and doesn’t let fear drive any of your actions. Anyway, love your channel!
Yay! I literally just got done rewatching one ofyour old vlogs. I can't believe you uploaded
Thank you so much for this video. I was currently following the wavy girl trend but I notice that my hair is looking more greasy with all of the products I was using. I was shocked when you mentioned about how delicate hair gets tangled so easily. My boyfriend and I got for motorcycle rides and I would come home with my hair clip almost falling out and huge knots and tangles that hurt when I would try to untangle them. I am definitely going to skip on the hairdresser appointments now. My mom’s family is Mennonite and they have long beautiful hair. You inspired me to get in touch with them to talk to them about their hair care. Also will definitely be getting the conditioner. My current conditioner I think is way too heavy it has all these oils that I don’t think are working for me. Love your hair, it is my hair goal. ❤
Actually if you hair is split then you need to be more regular with maintenance trims (hairdresser appointments) because once a hair gets split, it will just keep splitting up the hair shaft and instead of that hair getting longer with time it will look thinner and shorter despite the fact that hair is growing at the same rate.
It would be great to see an updated makeup routine! Product recommendations, techniques, and also how to do makeup for your unique features.
Such a good example for our young ladies. Thank you. And yes, long hair for the win. 🏆
Love this!! ❤ thank you!! My hair is the complete opposite of yours but I still feel that there were some helpful tips in there! Thank you for sharing!! Your hair looks so good and each video I am blown away by it! 😊
I would love to see a video of how you style your hair with your current cut. It looks so beautiful here! 😍
Yessss! Love this! As a fellow long haired girly with fragile hair I love allllll the tips!
What is the supplement that helped your sleep and stress?
You have the most gorgeous hair color. It and the length suit you so well!
These hair growing videos of yours are so helpful - thank you!
Hi! ✨ I have a different hair texture than yours and every single one of these tips I also use and have helped my hair thrive and grow out close to my waist 🎉
I love how you pointed out the fact that blow drying your hair has actually helped it grow. I’ve noticed the same with my hair texture. Even tho it is different than yours, it is also a fine hair texture and very delicate. Keeping it blow dried has maintained it in a stronger state and I see way less breakage! ❤
❤
Can you do a what you eat in a day? You’re so gorgeous!
I gasp at how beautiful you are every time I watch a video of yours 🩷
So encouraging to see a video on MY hair type 😭 So much of the advice online is for other hair types! I have super long hair but it’s damaged, I think I need a nice blunt cut 6-10” off to start more fresh and then follow up with these recommendations. Thank youuuuuu
It‘s so interesting to see your hair care routine. You where the one inspiring me to wash my hair more often and it‘s thriving since. Eating more meat has also been essential for me to get my hair to grow. I have thicker hair that feels structured and seems to rip off by just hair strands touching each other. I‘ve always avoided hydrating products because I was afraid of my hair being oily but in the last years strongly hydrating smoothing products have been the saving grace for my hair. Don‘t be scared to try out heavy products if lighter ones don‘t make your hair feel silky🥰 Lots of love from germany
I have hyperemesis this pregnancy and my hair has been breaking off from a lack of nutrition. I can't wait to help fix it postpartum and will use all of these tips 🙏🏻 thank you
I had hyperemesis with all three of my babies, so I feel for you!
Oh and also couldn’t agree more on the more frequent washing! I have the same fine hair type as you and my hair looked at its worst when I would be “training” it by only washing 2x a week. That’s the quickest way to ruin your hair. Now I also wash it every other day and sometimes everyday if I break a good sweat but it’s so much healthier with more frequent washing. ☺️
Can you do a video about your fitness & diet journey since you’ve had children? You look amazing! Beautiful hair! ❤❤❤❤
Love this video!! Your hair is gorgeous!!! Question, if you don’t use the Dyson airwrap or other hot brushes, what blow drying method are you using? Regular round brush and hairdryer? Or do you just rough dry it then curling it? What do you prefer?
That’s interesting with the long hair bonnet. I just use a short one but I gently braid my hair or put it in a gentle bun and it works. I may have to try one of those next and see what it does. I usually do oil on the ends at night after brushing my hair.
Love this! After your last video, I started using a clarifying shampoo. I have auburn hair and the red shines through so much more when using a clarifying shampoo!
Yes for scalp health! I have wavy/curly hair but very fine and I only go 4 days at most. I do not recommend clashing for people with my texture and density. I actually wash a little more often when I wear my hair naturally, and I avoid dry shampoo. I do use texture spray though 😬 but not too often. I’m saying all this as a pro stylist. Oh also I totally think it’s fine to not cut your hair. The industry will say you’ll have split ends, but that’s not necessarily true for a lot of people. Also it doesn’t consider people like me who go through periods of hair loss due to hashimotos, and whose wavy hair will look damaged when it’s not, it’s just part of being a wavy sometimes.
You look absolutely beautiful!!💎I hope this will help me grow out my hair long and healthy. Manifesting it!!✨
I have very coily hair and I wash my hair everyday! People think I’m crazy but my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been. When my hair is straightened, it’s at the base of my neck in a bob. I hope to grow it out by continuing this daily washing routine. Great tips! I drink whole milk as well. I love it before bed to sleep deep! 🐄
Your hair is lovely! It looks super healthy!
Do you blow it out every time you wash it?
@@Makai-mq2uv Thank you! ☺️
@@magdalenasamandova Nope I wear it in my natural state.
I have baby fine hair too. I had been washing and blow drying my hair every single day since middle school (I’m 32). Well, I jumped on the “train your hair” trend a few years ago and my hair had never been so damaged. Dry shampoo destroyed my hair. I honestly do not know why I jumped on that trend in the first place, I didn’t have ANY breakage before.
Thank you so much for this video!! I have fine hair like you and all the popular shampoos\conditioners make it look so much worse. Also air-drying! This is so validating
Thank you for this very informative video! I also have thin/easily breakable hair and it’s hard to find hair content creators that weren’t naturally blessed with thick long hair.
Which prenatal vitamins did you like taking for your babies?
Yes!! I have fine semi wavy hair that breaks super easily. I always tried to go multiple days between washes and use dry shampoo and I discovered that the dry shampoo was ruining my hair causing it to dry out and break off while also causing buildup in my scalp. Now I wash more frequently and my hair is getting healthier. The frequent conditioning and cleaning off the oil and product regularly is essential for my hair. I still have dry shampoo for days when I genuinely don't have time to wash my hair, but try to avoid it.
I still have layers in my hair but next haircut I'm going to try doing a blunt cut
Which prenatal vitamins have you been using?
Could you please drop your workout routine and dieting advice? 💕
Oh Caitlin you are absolutely stunning and glowing 💖
The grandma is wanting to know spill the tea bb girl ❤🫖❤🫖❤🫖
Thanks so much for this!! I also have fine blonde hair and this was eye-opening! Could you please do a video about managing stress, especially for a college kid? Thanks so much!!
Yes can you please do more updated beauty related content!!
Had my AirPods on listening to your video while washing dishes late at night. Baby and hubby are asleep. I thought I was hearing their voices and even took my airpods out to listen a few times until I realized it’s your husband in the video with your kiddos 😂. Thought I was going crazy for a second there
Your hair is so beautiful and your natural shade of blonde is perfection 💖 So funny you used to bleach it. It reminds me of younger me dying my hair "dark auburn" with box hair dye in high school (and doing it so often it fried the crud out of it). And I naturally have brown hair with auburn highlights. What were we thinking? Lol 😭
This video is so VALIDATING we have the exact same hair type and i have had such issues with knots and just got a wet brush
Although we have different ethnicity's and hair types so like you said some of the things that work for you are the opposite of what works for me, doesn't matter, each to their own😘.
But I have a great hair tip ( do your own research of course) I take msm powder I also mix it with rosehip/camu camu. Be warned this is not easy to take the taste is bitter, however I am pretty used to it now, it has made my hair grow so long. Hope this helps someone
Awwwww when your boys came in 🥺 they are sooo sweet ❤
Your natural hair color is so beautiful!
Can you show us how you blow out your hair? What tools do you use to get your hair like this? ❤
I love this advice. I cut my hair into a pixie because I was so frustrated with it postpartum. I have the exact same hair type and I’ve been dreaming of long hair for years. :)
I would be so happy to get a makeup and hair tutorial. I am pregnant with our second baby and our son will be about 17 months old when the baby comes. I am so lost in beauty related stuff now days and cant seem to find time or inspiration to make my self feel pretty. You look stunning btw
I also have baby fine hair that needs to be washed every other day. I have also tried to spread out washes and it negatively affected my hair. Last year I chopped off many inches to kind of start over and recover from PP hair loss. But after a year of leaving it alone and washing it more often it has gone from shoulder length past my bra band in one year. I also try to eat at least 100g of protein. I want to keep growing it. It’s refreshing to see someone suggest affordable products! Thanks for this video
There is silicone in that herbal essence but silicone is actually really great for fragile hair and it’s very light weight on a molecular level. It’s great at protecting your hair and preventing breakage!
Girl you’re glowing 😍😍
Hi Mrs 🥰 could you add to your shopping list the prenatal vitamins you liked the most? I have been taking care of my hair all these years, but never invested in one vitamin that also helps with the nails 😍 I would love to try those and see my paper thin nails become stronger 🙏
I can definitely recommend Abbey Yung for hair advice, she sometimes also includes scientific advice
You looked like Erin heatherton,and now you look like Rapaunzel always amazing and beautiful. And inspirative. God bless you.
I do a combo of air drying and blow drying. I use a brush called “wet brush” for my hair bow. I had a bamboo paddle brush with wood bristles and it was breaking my hair. The Wet Brush brand is really good. I also have a boar bristle hair brush.
You look great! Thanks for the advice. Curious when you decided to start lightening your hair again? Is it done professionally or at home? It looks great:).
It isn’t lightened she said that right at the beginning
I live in the nordics, so winter/autumn/spring clothes break my hair very aggressively, the combo of the hat, scarf and coat :( the hair at the back of my head suffers the most, being MUCH shorter than the rest of my hair. what do the rest of you use as a protective hairstyle for this issue, especially when youre going somewhere and want to look presentable?
Your hair color is a dream ❤
Thank you for posting
Would love an updated makeup routine 😊
I would love another fashion video, maybe even going over the years. Especially post partum to now! ❤️
Most relatable video for me!!!! We have the same hair type. I can never find good advice for my type of hair! This was amazing.
Give me all the advice you have, woman! 🩷 ❤
I relate so much to the air can break my hair 😭 I was looking forward to your video because we have similar hair types 😅
