Having a client travel hours to see you, having a client wait weeks to see you, having a client refuse services from other stylists, having a client drag her entire family in to meet you, having a client sit in your waiting room in case you can take her as a walk-in...honestly those are the biggest compliments that you can get as a stylist, and that's when you know you're good!
You just performed a miracle! That lady's hair went from frizz to schzizzz🔥🔥! So smart of you not cutting her entire length! She needs to enjoy that beautiful crown! Then later on, should she want to go shorter do it to it! AMAZING! You are one gifted hair care professional! ❤️
She came to you because the stylists she came in contact with: 1) didn’t want to do her hair, 2) charged an unreasonable amount, or 3) when she paid their required price; she wasn’t satisfied in with the service she received from the stylist. This is the reason why she tried to do her own hair at home. It’s hard finding a good stylist these days. You make your customers feel comfortable in knowing when they leave your chair; their hair will be easy to manage and beautiful. Great job.
@@ccf8093 I knew it; because if you have long hair some stylist don’t want to do your hair. Don’t cut your hair like I did; I regret it now. Just get your trims on time as recommended by Crystal.
This is why I just went freeform locs, I had waist length hair and could never afford what it costs to do something to it, and the DIY just wasn’t working out either I needed to reclaim my time!
This is the first video I’ve seen where people acknowledge the damage Keratin treatments can do on a person’s hair. I did one about 8 years ago and I actually went to a salon to do it. It was great at first, but then I noticed my hair would tangle like crazy and I was like never again. It took about 4 years to get that mess out of my hair and the only way was to get constant hair cuts.
I know some people who had to transition after a keratin. although it’s promoted to be temporary they said their hair didn’t revert and was very dry and breaking
This is so freeing! I am chronically ill, and I can tell you our hair goes through everything with us, only it saves the experiences like a scrapbook. Flares of my autoimmune disease are marked in my hair like rings in a tree stump. I'm an expert at faking a look, but even if hair looks good on the outside, cutting off 8 years of mistakes and bad energy can be extremely liberating, both physically and emotionally. This was amazing to watch.
I did a keratin treatment at the salon on my fine, natural hair and my hair FELL OUT over time! I had really long bra strap length hair with lots of hair strands and now you can see through to my scalp, it has beet devastating. It is growing back but what a tough lesson to learn!!!! Your client is lucky that she still has hair after a keratin treatment. Your client hair is beautifully done!!!
@plmcrn Feel for you-TRULY. I too went through something similar. Last November went to throughly incompetent “stylist” who over-treated hair-which started shedding from the root 🚩within days! Was completely devastated, yet took responsibility for choosing so poorly (long story, there were red 🚩flags everywhere), being so cheap, stubborn, & not heeding the warnings. Luckily my hair grows quickly, so the bald spots have grown out about 3 inches, and most of the damage can be hidden with parting & clipping. Still I SWORE OFF EVER setting foot into a salon again, UNTIL I saw Crystal’s videos…SHE’s HIGHLY SKILLED, PROFESSIONAL, & HAS SOLUTIONS when problems arise. Have already decided a trip to MCO will be in my future!
I can’t believe it’s the same head of hair. You are a magician. Changing up a hairstyle and fixing the issues women struggle with is EVERYTHING. It makes a difference in someone’s life. Thanks for what you do.
What an amazing transformation! That hair! It looks so soft! I have a crazy combination of coarse and kinky and medium curls. Your technique to de-tangle her hair using that cocktail got me thinking about trying it on my hair. You truly are an artist! Stay safe and healthy out there! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
Your work has been EXCELLENT in every "correctional" hair treatment video I have seen. YOU are reason people travel to you because you LISTEN before you do anything with each person's hair. With you as hair specialist, I wouldn't have to worry about "hair scare nightmares". (I could write a book on my disasters......) Which is why I have stayed out of hair salons for last six years.........
Oh man, this video made me smile. I grew up in a beauty shop (that's what we called it, Mary Ann's Beauty Shop). It was my Mom's shop and it was in our basement. Your black sink brought it all back to me. I loved her little set up. Blond wood cabinet with black sink, counter and accents. She was Italian and had perfect, soft curls. I was italian, German and English and she blamed my fine, frizzy, puffball hair on the English side, lol. I heard that all the time. All those products she tried on me. She used gigantic pink curlers and perm solution to try to straighten it out for me because it was the 70's and my friends had long, straight perfect 70's hair. Didn't work for too long, My curls do what they want. Crystal's hair was just gorgeous. I'm subscribing to you Miss. I hope your business keeps booming!
Thanks for sharing this memory. In the small town I’m from we still call them beauty shops 😅 I can only imagine wanting the 70s pin straight look. How fun it must have been to have grown up in mom’s salon.
You did a great job with her hair. One thing I can't stand is unnecessary cutting, and the amount of hair you cut without adding unnecessary layers was well done. You helped her to maintain length while improving its overall health and integrity. I love it!
Crystal - thank you so very much for this important and informative video. I am white and have been watching many of these videos on hair care for black women. It really helps to understand the extra challenges black women have with hair care as well as the extra expenses incurred in their hair care. With communication comes understanding. Thank you! Her hair looks amazing!
I appreciate your candor. You obviously care enough to learn. That’s wonderful. We have, sadly, come to a point where we are afraid to ask questions of each other. Growth comes from curiosity and that brings knowledge which ushers in positive change. God bless you, truly.
I am in my 60's and my hair is the same length. I am getting five or more inches taken off. I was natural for many years, but relaxed my hair. It's nice to brush to my scalp again. Excellent job!
I have literally learned way more about caring for my hair from black women than I ever did growing up white... Especially with a flaky scalp and growing my hair out, even though it's super straight. My hair is so thick that it literally pops my neck when it hits my shoulder blades, and "don't manipulate too much" was a godsend for tangles.
we are all vulnerable in the hands of a hairdresser, its the same thing all over the world. I know we all need moisture, at least! yes, these ladies are in a different league when it comes to hair care!! 💯🙏👐
I knew you'd slay that hair. You're a great beautician! When people come to you they are confident! I live in Houston, TX & my hair is natural. I don't recall seeing any natural hair styles videos. I normally see your silk presses. Thanks for sharing your work with us. I started doing my own hair & a few friends' hair while in college in the late 90s & early 2000.
I’m white and had my hair dresser do a keratin treatment. Fried my hair,I have curly very fine hair. A lot of hairdressers don’t know how to deal with curly hair. I enjoyed watching you and seeing her hair. My hair soak’s up moisture. I can not put it on my scalp though. Her hair was absolutely beautiful!! And it’s hard to find a good hairdresser.when you find one it doesn’t matter how far you have to go to get to her 😀
lol I was asking my stylist about moisturizing treatments and all she could offer me was a type of keratin treatment, I was like "fuck no". Imo a lot of stylists don't know how to deal with any type of texture that isn't straight (even if they themselves have textured hair), if the hair isn't super flat and silky then it must be damaged...
@@brooklynsbaby4367 This is exactly why I stopped going to salons. Every single one has f*cked up my hair, and they all had type 4 like me. I‘be been doing my own hair for years now, and it’s doing just fine.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 Glad it's been working for you! I've been doing my own too and I've noticed that even if I fuck up a little, it's never as bad a stylist's fuck up 🤣
@@brooklynsbaby4367 I'm white too and have 2a hair on my top red section and wavy2b/c underneath I go to a dual licenced black barber who went to cosmetology school too he's the best stylist I've ever had -I'm never going back to anyone else !!
@@HosCreates That's great, you can tell good stylist appreciate hair! There aren't any curly salons in my country or none that i'm aware of, at least :( There was this stylist that I loved but she is often traveling, she really understood wavy hair - why it looks and acts the way it does. Though at this point i'm afraid to visit her too :d
Her hair looks stunning. I really love how you explain everything, I don't attempt anything on my hair myself cause it would look like a 5 year-old did it. I really appreciate the skill of stylists and do appreciate how you explain things.
Her hair looks so soft. I'm always a bit sad seeing the curls disappear. I'm so in love with all the volume and personality the curly hair has. You do beautiful work.
I clipped my ends today. I had no idea what I was doing. I cut about an inch off. I can't get to a stylist right now. So I did it. And my hair does look good. I'm pretty sure when I get to a stylist she'll have to make it even. But as usual you did fabulous!!
I skipped my regular trim in January because I had an event last week and my edges were a mess so I was prepared for the big trim, but it still hurt because I have been doing so good with my hair! But just like this young lady I was very satisfied with the results!
Everyone always asks me why I have my hair trimmed so often. This video demonstrates beautifully why it is important to trim the ends. Trim trim trim. Love your work, and I love how reassuring you are to your clients.
I am a huge believer of trims, and am not afraid to cut what must be cut. I 100% think trimming as needed, instead of waiting prolonged periods of time, is one of the reasons why I’m able to retain so much length. In fact, I did a trim last night (only the tips because that’s what I needed), and my hair feels great.
I love watching your videos over and over. I love how you change what you do for every customer. I’m a white woman with curly hair and I can’t stand how most salons that I go to use the same products on every person. I haven’t had a haircut in over five years because where I live most beauticians don’t know how to cut and work with curly hair. I have argued with them about how much shrinkage will happen when it dries.
I just had to do the same thing to my 11 year old daughter hair, I gave her a at home keratin treatment and she already had a little heat damage. She wanted to hang on to her hair, but after the cut she loves it, (went from butt length (3b haur) to a little past her shoulders) her curl pattern isn't all the way back, but through the grace if God she will get it back.
WOW I can see why she was so happy with the result. Most of us have tried different things with hair products that haven't worked out. What an amazing work you've done. 🥰
You did a remarkable job on her hair. You are such a blessing to learn from and the more I watch and learn from you the better I became at knowing my hair. And you did a wonderful job on her hair. Love your insight, knowledge and Passion you give to everyone that sits in your chair. Thank you ❤️
You work some magic. So glad you kept the integrity of her long hair. You did not cut too much. It’s respectful because she has beautiful hair and has been growing it. Great job.
Crystal, have you considered creating a hair Care academy? You would be beyond successful you have a higher calling I can see you educating many stylists world wide.
CRYSTAL'S HANDS ARE GIFTED!! SHE CAN DO ANYBODY'S HAIR IN ANY CONDITION AND MAKE IT LOOK FABULOUS!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HER FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND I CAN SAY SHE IS AN AMAZING STYLIST, HAIR DRESSER ,PERSON, MOM, & TEACHER OF COSMOTOLOGY!!!! GO CRYSTAL GO!!!😁👍
Today I sped through to the end to amazing results. Of course I then watched the entire video for my own hair care needs. You have truly been blessed to work with hair. Thank you for the share.
Truly love the care and time you put into her hair and also the realization that though it looked great after the Silk out, she still needed a cut to achieve a healthier state - you are truly about you work!!!
I did a reset cut recently and my hair was just a little shorter than hers. I loved it. A lot of people were like "why would you cut so much off?" but now they feel it and they get it.
Girlll, the HATE i got when I cut mine back to shoulder length 😂. Mama disowned me and everything. But when I asked if they wanted to take care of my hair...🤐.
@@sillycheese301 they’re projecting. Wishing they had long hair and can’t understand why someone would cut it off. Damaged or not, it’s hair and it will grow back (unless you have a medical condition obviously).
Just looking at her ends before you flat ironed I could tell that they just don't look right. i can't stand when my ends tangle so I always get them cut off!! Also you are a champion for dealing with all that hair that kept tangling!! A lot of people have long hair but even they don't want to deal with it.
I appreciate that you consult and listen to your clients wants and give them what they need. This client walked out of your salon with the knowledge and care her hair needed . Amazing services Crystal.
You are a remarkable hairstylist, your care, knowledge, is second to none, who wouldn't travel 2hrs to receive a 1st class treatment , love to watch you, keep up the good work.👍♥️ From Frances uk
Your narration is so interesting and informative. What you do is an art and a science! Thank you for sharing so much of your process and the care you give to your clients 💜
I loved the video. You care about healthy hair. That’s why I follow you. Her hair came out beautifully. Unlike most I’m not scared of a hair cut. Damage hair needs to come off. If you take care of your hair length will come.
My mother was a hair dresser years ago. I watch her when I was young, I was, really impressed. The she left my father and all five of us kids. I started doing my own hair when I was 9 years old. I would cut it, and when I was 13, I bleach my hair. I found out about the beautiful supple store. I tried a lot of different hair styles. I want to tell you, you are far better then my mom ever was!!!!!!! Some people do not understand with different hair types you have to do completely different. Keep doing your show!!!!
I have been doing hair for 23 years and I love the fact that u hi ahead and trim what needs to be trimmed I'm so tired of watching these hair stylist act like they are afraid instead of educating their clients on the key to healthy hair
A true professional! Explains the cause of damage, looks for solutions, verbally walks client through process and delivers an amazing end result!! Bravo!!
I think that was the most beautiful hair I've ever seen. I loved her curls, but yes, ends (several inches) had to go and your restoration and rejuvenation was amazing. Styling her hair as you did revealed just how much you brought her hair back.
White girl here who loves your vids! You're an absolute hair magician! I wish I could have you do something with my hair. Thank you for sharing your talents with us😊
I watch so many of these informative videos! If only you were in or visiting Phoenix, AZ. I am in need of a hair care professional. But all I find are stylists 😫
Girl! I got so fed up looking for a haircare professional. These stylists charging $75-$85 for a flat iron BUT saying they don't detangle! Soooo you don't wash my hair??? And I'm supposed to pay you $75-$85 and do everything myself?! I ended up doing my own hair and trimming my own ends. I'll be driving back to Cali to my old stylist next time.
I love that gave her the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I am one of those people who see my ends are needing a little special attention. I will go to another stylist. First I cut my ends and I have been to one stylist. She said she could not cut anymore off for me. I said ok and went to my stylist for thirty plus years. She cut off the rest of the nick nack ends. I don't trip over hair it grows better when those split are cut away and not pulling on the good undamaged strands. I also make hair cocktails for myself and for my niece. I applaud you Chrystal. Mohair mohair mohair.
You did an amazing job on detangling the client's hair. My tangle ends is one huge problem for me. It's terrible the time it takes for me to detangle and comb through my hair.
I finally cut my hair after three years and my hair has been less tangled, then before! Sometimes a good cut is just needed, while your trying to grow your hair out!
Beautiful her hair is truly beautiful, you would never know it’s the same lady you started with. You are amazing hairstylist with magical fingers, perfect. From Nottingham in the UK ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You did a fantastic job! My niece had beautiful long hair and her mom put something in her hair when she was in 2nd grade and it took a decade or more to get it back. In the late eighties early nineties there weren't many products for hair, I know it was hard for her.
I suffer with really dry and flaky scalp due to a health condition which has also changed the texture of my hair due to medications that are taken. In order to combat this I use aloe straight from the plant. I use a fork to break it up, scoop out with the back of a large spoon and then push through cheese cloth for really smooth aloe that is clean. I apply it on dry hair and let it sit while I watch a movie. Rinse, use a light amount of shampoo just to remove excess and then let air dry. My hair has improved 1,000 fold. I am white so not sure how this works on curly hair for black women but I love it. Hopefully it will help someone with these same issues. Thank you for the excellent care you provide to all your clients. Good stylist who care about the health of the hair vs desired looks for $ are so hard to find these days! ❤
Amazing Crystal I Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee her hair 😍 You are such a wonderful blessing for saving hair and given confidence back so worth it to travel around the world 🌎 😊 ❤️
As a causian with relatively long hair all my life I had no idea how difficult hair maintenance is for very curly hair. Normally I wash it, conditioner treatment and brushing ready. But no waves and such fullness. You are a great and patient hairdresser.
I can see this video was definitely meant for me. I’m sharing it with my daughter who is early in her career as a stylist/Beautican. I’m going to her for the first time with the same dryness and damaged ends. I’m a Mom with grey natural hair. She will have a time moisturizing and detangling my hair, I’m sure but I will tell her about your products you mention here. Oh yes, she will trim it for me also. You have great skills. Thank you. I love watching your videos.
Wow! You explained the process with articulate professionalism. The young ladys hair is healthy, silky, shiny and the cut falls into place. You are a Elite Professional hair stylist. Thank you for sharing.
She has gorgeous hair!! The after is pretty much my goal. I’m about three inches away from that length so I’m excited. Great job, the results are lovely.
Your genuine care for the person *and* their hair really shines through in your videos. I can hear how much you value education by all that you share as you explain your process, and the warmth in your voice when you shared that people drive hours and even fly to experience your skill-- you are truly changing lives by following your passion. You're inspirational to watch and learn from!
Looks beautiful 🤩 I’m a white girl with European hair, and I’ll never moan about my hair again! I’m so jealous, Crystal’s hair rocks! You did such a caring job! Much love from Scotland 🏴❤️ x
There’s a woman on RUclips that had long hair like your client, maybe even longer, and she put some type of protein or keratin treatment on her hair and it literally turned her hair into one big dread. She ended up cutting it all off. The results on your client is beautiful.
It amazes me just how different hair can be. My hair is nothing like this, and requires entirely different maintenance, but I still learn when watching your videos.
Not all hair types responds to protein and keratin treatments, this goes for all the DIY hair masks too. Know your hair type before trying them, also do patch tests and see how that patch reacts to the treatment before you do the whole head. 😊
straightening treatments like relaxers and keratin have toxic chemicals that break down the hair shaft and can cause cancer !! dont be putting them on your head!
You are amazing, alot of hairdressers probably would have been overwhelmed just looking at all of her hair. Her hair looked great when you were finished with it.
Thank you for such an informative video! I love the voice over and the transformation visual combo. My fiancé has dry, frizzy and tangly hair so this vid was nice. It opened my eyes about how hair treatments can have the opposite effect.
Great job. I went to Ulta and after getting my hair done, my hair refused to curl. The products that were used on my hair made my hair feel weird. All I ever had to do was wet my hair so I was upset. I gave myself an ApHogee treatment which I had been taught to do and have several times.and my hair was in worse shape and refused to curl at all. I was trying to go natural and get my wave Nuveau back.
I believe everything you said about the keratin treatments 👎🏽👎🏽.. but I already knew she was going to be satisfied.Your awesome because I remember hearing you say n I quote” if y’all can’t get to me go to a trusted stylist and ask questions” I was like oh and she’s a realist 🙌🏽..a stylist that’s not afraid to send you to another stylist. Confidence. #PHENOMENAL🌹
Absolutely amazing and total unbelievable craftsmanship!!! This is a talent and craft and a work of art to be commended. My granddaughter is 20 and she’s mixed and has been relaxing her hair for very long. When she was young it was so beautiful “ natural” she does not want to go that route ( which saddens me). She needs a lot of trimming from all the relaxing done but won’t dare cut it to remove it as she wants to let it grow longer. Is there a way I can convince her to cut off more without coming across as seeming rude bossy or judgmental because I’m not that kind of grandmother lol
This is beautiful, and I appreciate that the stylist respected the length of the cut. It hurts my spirit when I see stylist over cut someone's length. ✨🙏🏽
60 year old gay white man here who's always been very good with (at least) white womens' hair and I've done some Image Consulting. You are an INCREDIBLY talented hair dresser and I love Love LOVE seeing people's damaged hair made whole, or at least put back on the track of being whole again. It's SO gratifying....most especially with African American hair since the INSANE "trends", gimmicks & TORTURE done to it over the past 40 years has done untold damage to millions of women. To see their hair come back and NOT permed, colored, twisted, corn-rowed, dreadlocked, or FRIED, DIED & LAYED TO THE SIDE is truly fantastic. Congrats!!
I've literally been going through this issue for several months now. Wanting the luxury of wearing my hair frizz free in the summer months, I decided to go to a professional to get a "natural keratin" treatment. It great at first (minus her being an African American who didn't evenk now the proper technique of combing out my natural type 4 hair. But thats another story) but after my first wash, I realized the treatment added some sort of shield on my strands that nothing was able to penetrate. I've literally been cutting and inch or 2 every month from what started as waist length hair. The convenience of the treatment was great being able to detangle my hair in less than 5min without pulling out any hair and not having my hair revert from humidity. But how it felt and reacted to products wasnt worth it. I've been looking for a stylist for 2yrs now. Only to come into contact with ones that jumped on the natural hair care bandwagon and have not one clue. I wish u were here in NY......keep up the good work sista!!!
I'm in the same boat. My stylist got tired of my natural hair and recommended relaxers, keratin treatments( she said it was just a protein treatment that would last for 3 months), and hair dye claiming it would just make my hair more manageable for all of them. When my hair was relaxed it was thick but she never styled how I wanted it. I said no to all of them and have been getting my hair braided. It's been a few years since I have been to her salon and she still calls & texts asking me to schedule a hair appointment.
Love what you did to the hair...you're a true hair care person....which you don't find easily. As a hair care person myself, I give you thumbs up 👍 for a marvelous job. ❤
Honestly I wish more women who work with hair were like you. I've had so many bad experiences that I just quit letting women touch my hair. I go to an amazing older gentleman barber. But it was a hard sell to get him to help me because he almost exclusively handles mens hair. I think he only did it out of pity the first time because I came it with 12 inches off in one section because a female hairdresser couldn't tell the difference between 12 and 2.
I can relate bout going to a man/ barber.when I was a small girl our treat once n while was going 2 the hairdresser with mom, n back then there were men doing hair and they had the business but so did this lady but mom preferred the men .. they did excellent work. Salute 2 men hairdressers 👍🏾
Having a client travel hours to see you, having a client wait weeks to see you, having a client refuse services from other stylists, having a client drag her entire family in to meet you, having a client sit in your waiting room in case you can take her as a walk-in...honestly those are the biggest compliments that you can get as a stylist, and that's when you know you're good!

My hair started breaking like crazy after just one treatment. That stuff us only good for Asian hair.
Yes , I did the same thing with too much protein , it was so hard and dry , now even though it’s all grown out , my hair is still protein sensitive
Does this apply to the shampoo's with keratin, because I use the ogx keratin oil shampoo and conditioner, but I feel like something is off as well.
I know some people who had to transition after a keratin. although it’s promoted to be temporary they said their hair didn’t revert and was very dry and breaking

It never cease to amaze me how a cut/trim can make a huge difference in how the hair behave..amazing job as always
Awesome job. Where are you located at
It's not just about styling, it's about care for someones hair and love making your customers comfortable, happy ,and getting their money worth. 😊

You did a great job with her hair. One thing I can't stand is unnecessary cutting, and the amount of hair you cut without adding unnecessary layers was well done. You helped her to maintain length while improving its overall health and integrity. I love it!
Crystal - thank you so very much for this important and informative video. I am white and have been watching many of these videos on hair care for black women. It really helps to understand the extra challenges black women have with hair care as well as the extra expenses incurred in their hair care.
With communication comes understanding. Thank you!
Her hair looks amazing!
I appreciate your candor. You obviously care enough to learn. That’s wonderful. We have, sadly, come to a point where we are afraid to ask questions of each other. Growth comes from curiosity and that brings knowledge which ushers in positive change. God bless you, truly.
Race is irrelevant
You sound silly.
Not even BW has "challenges" 😂😂
@@titanstorage7104that's actually the wrong attitude.
I am in my 60's and my hair is the same length. I am getting five or more inches taken off. I was natural for many years, but relaxed my hair. It's nice to brush to my scalp again. Excellent job!
I have literally learned way more about caring for my hair from black women than I ever did growing up white... Especially with a flaky scalp and growing my hair out, even though it's super straight. My hair is so thick that it literally pops my neck when it hits my shoulder blades, and "don't manipulate too much" was a godsend for tangles.
Facts girl! My family doesn't put anything in their hair. Lotions and oils aren't a thing either.
Me too! I have Caucasian hair. Learning so much.
Same! 😅
we are all vulnerable in the hands of a hairdresser, its the same thing all over the world. I know we all need moisture, at least! yes, these ladies are in a different league when it comes to hair care!! 💯🙏👐
Same here ive learned more from watching there hair videos my hair thick and curly with a course feel to it
I knew you'd slay that hair. You're a great beautician! When people come to you they are confident! I live in Houston, TX & my hair is natural. I don't recall seeing any natural hair styles videos. I normally see your silk presses.
Thanks for sharing your work with us. I started doing my own hair & a few friends' hair while in college in the late 90s & early 2000.
I’m white and had my hair dresser do a keratin treatment. Fried my hair,I have curly very fine hair. A lot of hairdressers don’t know how to deal with curly hair. I enjoyed watching you and seeing her hair. My hair soak’s up moisture. I can not put it on my scalp though. Her hair was absolutely beautiful!! And it’s hard to find a good hairdresser.when you find one it doesn’t matter how far you have to go to get to her 😀
lol I was asking my stylist about moisturizing treatments and all she could offer me was a type of keratin treatment, I was like "fuck no". Imo a lot of stylists don't know how to deal with any type of texture that isn't straight (even if they themselves have textured hair), if the hair isn't super flat and silky then it must be damaged...
@@brooklynsbaby4367 This is exactly why I stopped going to salons. Every single one has f*cked up my hair, and they all had type 4 like me. I‘be been doing my own hair for years now, and it’s doing just fine.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 Glad it's been working for you! I've been doing my own too and I've noticed that even if I fuck up a little, it's never as bad a stylist's fuck up 🤣
@@brooklynsbaby4367 I'm white too and have 2a hair on my top red section and wavy2b/c underneath I go to a dual licenced black barber who went to cosmetology school too he's the best stylist I've ever had -I'm never going back to anyone else !!
@@HosCreates That's great, you can tell good stylist appreciate hair! There aren't any curly salons in my country or none that i'm aware of, at least :( There was this stylist that I loved but she is often traveling, she really understood wavy hair - why it looks and acts the way it does. Though at this point i'm afraid to visit her too :d
I have learned so much about black women's hair! It helps me to appreciate their beauty.Thank you for sharing these videos.
It's not about race.
Her hair looks stunning. I really love how you explain everything, I don't attempt anything on my hair myself cause it would look like a 5 year-old did it. I really appreciate the skill of stylists and do appreciate how you explain things.
Her hair looks so soft. I'm always a bit sad seeing the curls disappear. I'm so in love with all the volume and personality the curly hair has.
You do beautiful work.
I clipped my ends today. I had no idea what I was doing. I cut about an inch off. I can't get to a stylist right now. So I did it. And my hair does look good. I'm pretty sure when I get to a stylist she'll have to make it even. But as usual you did fabulous!!
I love watching the process of a hairstyle! Seeing someone's hair go from damaged to healthy is so satisfying! Great job!
I skipped my regular trim in January because I had an event last week and my edges were a mess so I was prepared for the big trim, but it still hurt because I have been doing so good with my hair! But just like this young lady I was very satisfied with the results!
Stop wearing those braids . I can see in your profile your edges are still a mess . Black women don’t learn
Boy-you just prove that a stylist works HARD for their living! You sure did a great job on her hair!
Everyone always asks me why I have my hair trimmed so often. This video demonstrates beautifully why it is important to trim the ends. Trim trim trim. Love your work, and I love how reassuring you are to your clients.
I am a huge believer of trims, and am not afraid to cut what must be cut. I 100% think trimming as needed, instead of waiting prolonged periods of time, is one of the reasons why I’m able to retain so much length. In fact, I did a trim last night (only the tips because that’s what I needed), and my hair feels great.
I love watching your videos over and over. I love how you change what you do for every customer. I’m a white woman with curly hair and I can’t stand how most salons that I go to use the same products on every person. I haven’t had a haircut in over five years because where I live most beauticians don’t know how to cut and work with curly hair. I have argued with them about how much shrinkage will happen when it dries.
I just had to do the same thing to my 11 year old daughter hair, I gave her a at home keratin treatment and she already had a little heat damage. She wanted to hang on to her hair, but after the cut she loves it, (went from butt length (3b haur) to a little past her shoulders) her curl pattern isn't all the way back, but through the grace if God she will get it back.
WOW I can see why she was so happy with the result. Most of us have tried different things with hair products that haven't worked out. What an amazing work you've done. 🥰
You did a remarkable job on her hair. You are such a blessing to learn from and the more I watch and learn from you the better I became at knowing my hair. And you did a wonderful job on her hair. Love your insight, knowledge and Passion you give to everyone that sits in your chair. Thank you ❤️
You work some magic. So glad you kept the integrity of her long hair. You did not cut too much. It’s respectful because she has beautiful hair and has been growing it. Great job.
Crystal, have you considered creating a hair Care academy? You would be beyond successful you have a higher calling I can see you educating many stylists world wide.
Yes, she would be an excellent educator. I hope she does start an academy.
CRYSTAL'S HANDS ARE GIFTED!! SHE CAN DO ANYBODY'S HAIR IN ANY CONDITION AND MAKE IT LOOK FABULOUS!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HER FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND I CAN SAY SHE IS AN AMAZING STYLIST, HAIR DRESSER ,PERSON, MOM, & TEACHER OF COSMOTOLOGY!!!! GO CRYSTAL GO!!!😁👍
Beautiful haircut she still has a lot of hair her hair will grow out longer and healthy good job
Today I sped through to the end to amazing results. Of course I then watched the entire video for my own hair care needs. You have truly been blessed to work with hair. Thank you for the share.
Truly love the care and time you put into her hair and also the realization that though it looked great after the Silk out, she still needed a cut to achieve a healthier state - you are truly about you work!!!
Lots of tlc given,which is shining through on her finished style 💁🏽♀️Great job👏🏽👏🏽
You are Amazing! I really like the way you explain everything in your voice over!!
I did a reset cut recently and my hair was just a little shorter than hers. I loved it. A lot of people were like "why would you cut so much off?" but now they feel it and they get it.
Girlll, the HATE i got when I cut mine back to shoulder length 😂. Mama disowned me and everything. But when I asked if they wanted to take care of my hair...🤐.
@@NeekkeKayla it's crazy how people act over hair when it's not even theirs
@@sillycheese301 they’re projecting. Wishing they had long hair and can’t understand why someone would cut it off. Damaged or not, it’s hair and it will grow back (unless you have a medical condition obviously).
@@prtdiva ûbb.
You did a great job! That hair cut literally gave her hair new life.
Just looking at her ends before you flat ironed I could tell that they just don't look right. i can't stand when my ends tangle so I always get them cut off!! Also you are a champion for dealing with all that hair that kept tangling!! A lot of people have long hair but even they don't want to deal with it.
I appreciate that you consult and listen to your clients wants and give them what they need. This client walked out of your salon with the knowledge and care her hair needed . Amazing services Crystal.
Literally every stylist does consultations.
You did an amazing job on her hair! It looks beautiful & healthier!
You are a remarkable hairstylist, your care, knowledge, is second to none, who wouldn't travel 2hrs to receive a 1st class treatment , love to watch you, keep up the good work.👍♥️ From Frances uk
The hair process was through her hair really looked healthy and beautiful!!! Loved the process!!👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️🔥🔥
Your narration is so interesting and informative. What you do is an art and a science! Thank you for sharing so much of your process and the care you give to your clients 💜
I loved the video. You care about healthy hair. That’s why I follow you. Her hair came out beautifully. Unlike most I’m not scared of a hair cut. Damage hair needs to come off. If you take care of your hair length will come.
My mother was a hair dresser years ago. I watch her when I was young, I was, really impressed. The she left my father and all five of us kids. I started doing my own hair when I was 9 years old. I would cut it, and when I was 13, I bleach my hair. I found out about the beautiful supple store. I tried a lot of different hair styles. I want to tell you, you are far better then my mom ever was!!!!!!! Some people do not understand with different hair types you have to do completely different. Keep doing your show!!!!
I have been doing hair for 23 years and I love the fact that u hi ahead and trim what needs to be trimmed I'm so tired of watching these hair stylist act like they are afraid instead of educating their clients on the key to healthy hair
A true professional! Explains the cause of damage, looks for solutions, verbally walks client through process and delivers an amazing end result!! Bravo!!
I think that was the most beautiful hair I've ever seen. I loved her curls, but yes, ends (several inches) had to go and your restoration and rejuvenation was amazing. Styling her hair as you did revealed just how much you brought her hair back.
White girl here who loves your vids! You're an absolute hair magician! I wish I could have you do something with my hair. Thank you for sharing your talents with us😊
Nobody cares what race you are!!!
That doesn't make your opinion more valuable! Get over yourself.
Race is irrelevant.
@@meghanmisaliarstop trolling. We’re all here to learn and enjoy the incredible talent this stylist has.
@@lindsayb7811 no Karen. Telling the truth.
I watch so many of these informative videos! If only you were in or visiting Phoenix, AZ. I am in need of a hair care professional. But all I find are stylists 😫
Girl! I got so fed up looking for a haircare professional. These stylists charging $75-$85 for a flat iron BUT saying they don't detangle! Soooo you don't wash my hair??? And I'm supposed to pay you $75-$85 and do everything myself?! I ended up doing my own hair and trimming my own ends. I'll be driving back to Cali to my old stylist next time.
I love that gave her the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I am one of those people who see my ends are needing a little special attention. I will go to another stylist. First I cut my ends and I have been to one stylist. She said she could not cut anymore off for me. I said ok and went to my stylist for thirty plus years. She cut off the rest of the nick nack ends. I don't trip over hair it grows better when those split are cut away and not pulling on the good undamaged strands. I also make hair cocktails for myself and for my niece. I applaud you Chrystal. Mohair mohair mohair.
You did an amazing job on detangling the client's hair. My tangle ends is one huge problem for me. It's terrible the time it takes for me to detangle and comb through my hair.
I’m Asian and watching this I can only say how amazingly talented and informative you are and customer’s hair looked so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I finally cut my hair after three years and my hair has been less tangled, then before!
Sometimes a good cut is just needed, while your trying to grow your hair out!
You do beautiful work and know your products. Where are you located?
Aww, I'm sad this happened to her. Her hair was (and still is) gorgeous. Especially long like that. Good thing it still grow again. Bless her.
Her hair looks amazing. Yes, the cut made a huge difference. And no she really didn't lose a lot of her length.
I love getting my hair washed at the salon. So relaxing. Kind of relaxing just to watch it too.
WOW 👏 Her hair after is absolutely beautiful 😍 I KNOW she left feeling like a 👸
Beautiful her hair is truly beautiful, you would never know it’s the same lady you started with.
You are amazing hairstylist with magical fingers, perfect. From Nottingham in the UK ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You did a fantastic job!
My niece had beautiful long hair and her mom put something in her hair when she was in 2nd grade and it took a decade or more to get it back. In the late eighties early nineties there weren't many products for hair, I know it was hard for her.
I suffer with really dry and flaky scalp due to a health condition which has also changed the texture of my hair due to medications that are taken.
In order to combat this I use aloe straight from the plant. I use a fork to break it up, scoop out with the back of a large spoon and then push through cheese cloth for really smooth aloe that is clean.
I apply it on dry hair and let it sit while I watch a movie. Rinse, use a light amount of shampoo just to remove excess and then let air dry.
My hair has improved 1,000 fold. I am white so not sure how this works on curly hair for black women but I love it. Hopefully it will help someone with these same issues.
Thank you for the excellent care you provide to all your clients. Good stylist who care about the health of the hair vs desired looks for $ are so hard to find these days!
❤
Amazing Crystal I Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee her hair 😍 You are such a wonderful blessing for saving hair and given confidence back so worth it to travel around the world 🌎 😊 ❤️
As a causian with relatively long hair all my life I had no idea how difficult hair maintenance is for very curly hair. Normally I wash it, conditioner treatment and brushing ready. But no waves and such fullness.
You are a great and patient hairdresser.
I can see this video was definitely meant for me. I’m sharing it with my daughter who is early in her career as a stylist/Beautican. I’m going to her for the first time with the same dryness and damaged ends. I’m a Mom with grey natural hair. She will have a time moisturizing and detangling my hair, I’m sure but I will tell her about your products you mention here. Oh yes, she will trim it for me also. You have great skills. Thank you. I love watching your videos.
Wow! You explained the process with articulate professionalism. The young ladys hair is healthy, silky, shiny and the cut falls into place. You are a Elite Professional hair stylist. Thank you for sharing.
She has some beautiful hair. I love watching you doing people hair. You do a really good job. Keep up the good work.
She has gorgeous hair!! The after is pretty much my goal. I’m about three inches away from that length so I’m excited. Great job, the results are lovely.
You did such a beautiful job on her hair❤️…
You Re not just an artist but you're a hair doctor too! Amazing work!
You are an absolute hair genius.. this was so satisfying to watch how you transformed her hair! It looked stunning when you finished!
Incredible amount of work that showed your skills and talent! I too have Caucasian hair (grey) and have always loved watching hairdressers 😊
Your genuine care for the person *and* their hair really shines through in your videos. I can hear how much you value education by all that you share as you explain your process, and the warmth in your voice when you shared that people drive hours and even fly to experience your skill-- you are truly changing lives by following your passion. You're inspirational to watch and learn from!
Great job! I love when people are smart enough to let go of HORRIFIC split ends.
Looks beautiful 🤩 I’m a white girl with European hair, and I’ll never moan about my hair again! I’m so jealous, Crystal’s hair rocks! You did such a caring job! Much love from Scotland 🏴❤️ x
I always fast forward these hair makeover videos to the end, but I can’t do that with your videos because you drop so much wisdom and knowledge.
There’s a woman on RUclips that had long hair like your client, maybe even longer, and she put some type of protein or keratin treatment on her hair and it literally turned her hair into one big dread. She ended up cutting it all off. The results on your client is beautiful.
@@ccf8093 Yes, it turned out great. I’m glad she was able to save your hair. Beautiful.
@@meganbee. are u talking about curly hair crisis? If so my heart dropped when i watched her vid 🥺😵💫! I love the results in this video 2 !
@@huniluv26 Yes!!
Yes,I know who u are talking about. I used a protein treatment one time and it matted my hair too
Watching this just saved me- I was literally going to get a keratin treatment today!!!
It amazes me just how different hair can be. My hair is nothing like this, and requires entirely different maintenance, but I still learn when watching your videos.
Not all hair types responds to protein and keratin treatments, this goes for all the DIY hair masks too. Know your hair type before trying them, also do patch tests and see how that patch reacts to the treatment before you do the whole head. 😊
So true protein treatment did my hair horrible years ago. Never again
@@ccf8093 this is possible. I have 3 different hair types in my hair
straightening treatments like relaxers and keratin have toxic chemicals that break down the hair shaft and can cause cancer !! dont be putting them on your head!
Good morning you did a Amazing Job on her hair.....
You are amazing, alot of hairdressers probably would have been overwhelmed just looking at all of her hair. Her hair looked great when you were finished with it.
You're a miracle worker. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for such an informative video! I love the voice over and the transformation visual combo. My fiancé has dry, frizzy and tangly hair so this vid was nice. It opened my eyes about how hair treatments can have the opposite effect.
Great job. I went to Ulta and after getting my hair done, my hair refused to curl. The products that were used on my hair made my hair feel weird. All I ever had to do was wet my hair so I was upset. I gave myself an ApHogee treatment which I had been taught to do and have several times.and my hair was in worse shape and refused to curl at all. I was trying to go natural and get my wave Nuveau back.
Sorry to hear that. I heard some stylists sneak in karetin treatment on natural hair people without their consent.
I agree 💯
She really does have a really beautiful head of hair.
You did a wonderful job it's looks so healthy the cut was needed, her hair length is goals.
Gone to the poops!!😂😂😂oh that tickled me🤭 What beatiful hair and amazing result! ❤
I sincerely wish we would have learned more about curly hair at my beauty school. Thank you so much for making videos!
I believe everything you said about the keratin treatments 👎🏽👎🏽.. but I already knew she was going to be satisfied.Your awesome because I remember hearing you say n I quote” if y’all can’t get to me go to a trusted stylist and ask questions” I was like oh and she’s a realist 🙌🏽..a stylist that’s not afraid to send you to another stylist. Confidence. #PHENOMENAL🌹
Absolutely amazing and total unbelievable craftsmanship!!! This is a talent and craft and a work of art to be commended. My granddaughter is 20 and she’s mixed and has been relaxing her hair for very long. When she was young it was so beautiful “ natural” she does not want to go that route ( which saddens me). She needs a lot of trimming from all the relaxing done but won’t dare cut it to remove it as she wants to let it grow longer. Is there a way I can convince her to cut off more without coming across as seeming rude bossy or judgmental because I’m not that kind of grandmother lol
I’m amazed how knowledgeable you are about all aspects of African American hair. You have a gift.
This is beautiful, and I appreciate that the stylist respected the length of the cut. It hurts my spirit when I see stylist over cut someone's length. ✨🙏🏽
60 year old gay white man here who's always been very good with (at least) white womens' hair and I've done some Image Consulting. You are an INCREDIBLY talented hair dresser and I love Love LOVE seeing people's damaged hair made whole, or at least put back on the track of being whole again. It's SO gratifying....most especially with African American hair since the INSANE "trends", gimmicks & TORTURE done to it over the past 40 years has done untold damage to millions of women. To see their hair come back and NOT permed, colored, twisted, corn-rowed, dreadlocked, or FRIED, DIED & LAYED TO THE SIDE is truly fantastic. Congrats!!
I've literally been going through this issue for several months now. Wanting the luxury of wearing my hair frizz free in the summer months, I decided to go to a professional to get a "natural keratin" treatment. It great at first (minus her being an African American who didn't evenk now the proper technique of combing out my natural type 4 hair. But thats another story) but after my first wash, I realized the treatment added some sort of shield on my strands that nothing was able to penetrate. I've literally been cutting and inch or 2 every month from what started as waist length hair. The convenience of the treatment was great being able to detangle my hair in less than 5min without pulling out any hair and not having my hair revert from humidity. But how it felt and reacted to products wasnt worth it. I've been looking for a stylist for 2yrs now. Only to come into contact with ones that jumped on the natural hair care bandwagon and have not one clue. I wish u were here in NY......keep up the good work sista!!!
I'm in the same boat. My stylist got tired of my natural hair and recommended relaxers, keratin treatments( she said it was just a protein treatment that would last for 3 months), and hair dye claiming it would just make my hair more manageable for all of them. When my hair was relaxed it was thick but she never styled how I wanted it. I said no to all of them and have been getting my hair braided. It's been a few years since I have been to her salon and she still calls & texts asking me to schedule a hair appointment.
Use detox shampoos and always follow with a hydrating deep conditioner with a cap and heat. The keratin coating will degrade slowly overtime.
Try Gillian garcia look at her work on fb and shes in NY
Love what you did to the hair...you're a true hair care person....which you don't find easily. As a hair care person myself, I give you thumbs up 👍 for a marvelous job. ❤
Honestly I wish more women who work with hair were like you. I've had so many bad experiences that I just quit letting women touch my hair. I go to an amazing older gentleman barber. But it was a hard sell to get him to help me because he almost exclusively handles mens hair. I think he only did it out of pity the first time because I came it with 12 inches off in one section because a female hairdresser couldn't tell the difference between 12 and 2.
I can relate bout going to a man/ barber.when I was a small girl our treat once n while was going 2 the hairdresser with mom, n back then there were men doing hair and they had the business but so did this lady but mom preferred the men .. they did excellent work. Salute 2 men hairdressers 👍🏾
