    FYI: I'm not saying that all frizz near the root is breakage! What I'm referring to is what you see on Kim K in the thumbnail of this video. Lots of short broken pieces that at first glance look like frizz. You'll commonly see this on people with over-processed hair because their hair is already extra fragile. So using styling tools can make their hair snap easily. Some hair types are definitely just prone to frizz at the root and small hairs at the root could also be new growth- but that's a different convo 😊

      I am glad you have mentioned that it is potentially new growth. I've not processed my hair in well over ten years and I also dealt with telogen effluvium a few years ago in the midst of a nexus of stressful events. It's been a long process but I have a lot of these short hairs at varying lengths but my hair journey is legit and intentional. I am certain that it is new growth. I try to remember to take photos of the progression and it shows in my photos.

      @r.b_7875 2 дня назад

      I agree but unless you have curly hair ( even then all of the regrowth is not at the hair parting on the top of your head) your new growth will be healthy and settle when it’s a longer than an inch. Breakage looks more like the pictures she showed.

  • @0oohnegative
    @0oohnegative 3 дня назад +3

    I have been doing hair for 15 years. To add to the “frizz” discussion: it could also be new growth. I’ve seen many times people who are dealing with this, and I ask them if they went through a period of intense shedding 6months to a year prior. Often the answer is yes. They had a baby, they had surgery or an illness or intense stress. Many different things can cause us to shed excess hair, and then once we are healthy and able it (hopefully) regrows. That can look/ act like frizz because it’s a lot of hair that isn’t the same length as the rest of the hair.

    Yes!! After my emergency total hysterectomy at 53, I was fine. I was fine, I was fine. 3 months post operation, I was NOT fine. My hair was falling out in clumps. I habe very fine, thin grey hair. My pink scalp was much more noticeable. I went to my OBGYN and got on hormone replacement therapy. She told me, my hair loss was normal after a stressful situation. I said, I wasn't stressed, I was fine with the surgery, I'm much happier without the pain, cramping, bleeding, etc. She said, no, the surgery was stressful on the body, not mentally for me, but physically.
    Two years later, my hair is now back to it's normal, still thin but actually has a little more density. I believe it's because of balanced hormones!

      The hair loss is extremely common after anesthesia. Some common theories are that less nutrients go towards growing hair because your body makes the surgical wounds priority. Others point to oxygen drops and cell division. Totally normal! Glad you’re doing better!

    I’m glad you mention Biotin. As someone with a thyroid imbalance, it’s very common to lose lots of hair because of it. I’m hyperthyroid so my shed and growth cycle is sped up resulting in lots of shedding but also a lot of new growth which looks like frizz at my crown. Many people with thyroid issues take Biotin thinking it will help from losing the hair…the danger is taking Biotin 3-4 days before a thyroid test can give false testing results. Most people with a thyroid condition don’t need Biotin, they need to get their thyroid numbers dialed in (which is it’s own monster)

    I am 60 and have long hair. I find if I wet my hair and put it up/braid it, then rinse again after swim it tangles less. Hair can only absorb so much water. So if it's wet before entering it pulls less pool water.

    • @friendsofeli1318
      @friendsofeli1318 8 дней назад +1

      I work at a pool. You are correct.

    • @friendsofeli1318
      @friendsofeli1318 8 дней назад +3

      Ps, you can use a conditioner or an oil. Please do it at least an hour or so before going into the water because the oil freshly applied to hair will immediately come off and float in the pool, and if everyone does this the water will get an oily film floating on to and will cause build up on the sides of the pool and filtration system. Not enough for you to really worry about but as a pool employee, I can tell and i get to clean it. But if you allow the product to absorb in you hair for a while before hand: It will help your hair be protected from the chemicals in the pool and the sides of the pool won't get so much build up. Also, same applies for sunscreen. It needs time to absorb into your skin 10 or so minutes. Otherwise, you are just rinsing it off.

    Hi! Huge fan of your channel and your advice has changed my hair health dramatically. ❤ For those who are worried about hair damage from pools, I'm also a swim instructor/life guard who spends 5-6 hours per day in the pool about 3 days a week. Her advice is what has kept my hair healthy. Because of the amount of time I spend in the water, I wear a swim cap at ALL times. But even with a swim cap, I still apply conditioner/oils into my hair prior to getting in the pool. My only hair wash days are the days I work (double cleansing is helpful anyway, but ESPECIALLY if you spend a lot of time in the pool). If I do not wear a swim cap, I rinse my hair with fresh water before entering the pool so my hair doesn't soak up *as much* chlorinated water. Leave in conditioner post wash has also become my best friend. And please don't skip washing after swimming! The longer chlorine is in your hair the more damage it can do. Especially to color treated hair. Keep your hair healthy this summer, friends!

    I needed to hear all of this. Thank you Abbey, your my hair angel. 😊💘 I was losing so much hair that my husband remarked while cleaning the drain.
    For me, after using the bond treatment literally instantly it stopped. Then when I picked up the L'Oréal Clarifying it just clicked 💡. It started 9 yrs ago when I moved into my first (and only) home. We have hard water. Very hard.
    So that shampoo, plus taking my time to cleanse my scalp has had a miraculous effect. I barely shed at all and it's been 3 weeks now.
    Just wanna sincerely extend my thanks for sharing your knowledge. I honestly was afraid I was going to go bald, but I can tell I am on the right track now of what my scalp needs to be healthy.

    You’ve helped me heal my hair. I use many of your tips. I now scrutinize ingredients. I started dealing with androgenic alopecia a couple of years ago. Minoxidil helped, but wouldn’t get me back to a good place. Menopause is a bitch. Finally went to a derm and got topical combo of monoxidil/finesteride and a separate topical of Spiralactone. So much going on now! In 6 more months I know my hair will be in a much better place. In 6 months down, I have so much growth and it’s getting long. But, I have to use one in the am and one in the pm. So now I have to wash every other day. Using the ogx coconut oil prior to shampoo and using k18 and good conditioners have helped make my hair so soft, and keep my new growth healthy.

    Itchy/flaky scalp problem is very complicated in my opinion. I’ve tried many shampoos for sebum control, dandruff, calming shampoos, clarifying and so on, non of them helped. But then i’ve tried a more nourishing shampoo that ir more milky in color than clear, and also without sls. Helped instantly, and did not had to wash my hair this often too. Also gentle scalp scrub once or twise a month helped me aswell to go longer between washes :)

It also foams like a shampoo). Other one i want to try is the Davines Nourishing shampoo (yellow line), it claims to be for dry, dehydrated scalp and damaged hair (which sounds exactly what i’m looking for). I have also tried Maui nourish & moisture shampoo (blue one), and it was not bad but it definitely felt weird washing my hair because the shampoo is very thick, but in my opinion if you have the money you could try their line since it is not that expensive (where i am from at least). And my last recommendation would be Oro Del Marocco Nourishing shampoo and conditioner, this duo made my hair feel so lightweight and bouncy while still being nourished, especially if you have fine hair and low to medium porosity you might love it since the conditioner detangles very nicely but also is very lightweight!

I have a dry scalp but immediately get itchy and also break out on my scalp and face when I use these products. Unfortunately almost every drugstore conditioner has sodium chloride in it so I’m struggling to find a budget friendly conditioner I’m not allergic to but also makes my hair soft.

    Usually when the ends of my hair are really sticky it’s build-up from leave-in products, and I just solve that by squeezing excess shampoo from my roots all the way down to my ends and very gently massaging it the next time I wash it. I use a super gentle shampoo for this. I’ve never found that applying too much conditioner (or even a mask) can do that, if it’s a rinse-out product, and I have very low-porosity hair.
    About your second point: I don’t think your advice is wrong necessarily, but sometimes I wish you addressed the fact that people with very sensitive skin or allergies may not be able to use those sulphate shampoos etc., sometimes because of the sulphates themselves, sometimes because those shampoos typically contain other irritants and allergens, such as fragrances, and the same can be said of the conditioning products from those same brands.
    I also want to say that silicones don’t work for everyone. My experience has been the exact opposite of yours, I used to use silicones and my hair started feeling dry and brittle and actually breaking off at the ends. I remembered that when I had really damaged hair (from bleach) in high school I used to use ‘all natural’ products with incredible results. I have recently switched back to those kinds of products and seen a huge improvement (I did also chop off almost 3 inches of dry, damaged ends). 🤷‍♀️
    For people who might have a similar hair type and skin concerns, I want to recommend this ingredient: coco-caprylate. Look for it in serums and oils especially. It’s an ester derived from coconut oil and it’s a very good ‘natural’ alternative to silicones, as well as to coconut oil, if you find that it’s too heavy on your hair and/or can clog your pores. You can also buy it pure if you like to make your own hair oil by mixing different oils together, and add it to your mixture. It’s really good if you want to create an oil-based serum to apply on dry hair that won’t make it look greasy or weigh it down too much. You can use it pure, by itself, as a serum as well. I’ve never tried that, but if you find that all oils, no matter how little you apply, make your hair somewhat greasy this might be a good alternative.
    Also, the best oil that I’ve found for hair that can’t usually absorb pure oils very well is Camellia oil, if you want something that can be applied to dry hair without making it greasy. I literally use one to two drops and apply it to the ends and lengths of my hair, focusing on the tips and working my way up. I brush it through with a boar-bristle brush and I don’t find that my hair is greasy at all, just shiny and conditioned.
    I still use other oils, like Argan and sweet Almond oil, at night, so that’s another tip for low-porosity hair: apply your oils at night (still, only use a couple drops, as described above) so that they have time to absorb. Usually when I do this my hair isn’t greasy in the morning, there is no visible residue from the oils. I do it every night, as it also helps protect my hair from friction etc. If that still doesn’t work for you but you want the benefits from those oils you can try looking for/making a coco-caprylate based serum as I mentioned above, or just using them as a pre-shower treatment, which will help protect the ends and lengths of your hair when you wash it. Be careful though, still only use a few drops, you don’t want to create build-up! That can lead to the sticky hair issue mentioned at the beginning of the video.

    Hair loss ... mine definitely was self correcting.
    For the last 2 years, I've dealt with some major health problems. I normally get a mild shed every autumn, in the last 2 years I had three major sheds. losing maybe 1/4 of my hair at a time. [It was even across my scalp, and I had A LOT of hair so I never went bald.] I was worried, so I started researching and treating my hair gently and with the best products I could find.
    About 6 months ago, I noticed the hair near my head seemed thicker. It was ... the first shed was growing back. I expect the others will too. It will take a few years for it all to be the same length (hip length), but I'm no longer worried about losing it all.
    However, I have a different problem now ... some of the drugs my medical team has been trying make my hair grow without color. I was partly gray in an attractive way before, now I have horizontal stripes of gray as well. I've been ignoring that ... if anyone has a recommendation of a fantastic colorist / long hair expert in Minneapolis, please let me know!

    Couldn’t frizz at the crown just be new growth?
    I mean, the growth cycle only lasts so long until the hair falls out naturally and a new one starts growing out.
    I have curly hair, and I have A LOT of short frizzy hairs at my crown. But they seem to be kind of pointy which makes me think that they aren’t broken hairs since that would make them look more blunt on the ends (if that makes sense).

    Hi Abbey, regarding Biotin supplements (as in the oral tablets), what a lot of people don't know is that they can throw-off your thyroid function and lead to an over-active thyroid. So, as you correctly pointed out, you really need to be advised by your GP to take biotin orally. This happened to me recently, I had been taking biotin supplements daily for about 2 months and when I got my regular bloods done my results came back indicating an overactive thyroid. My clever GP - guessing that I, like many peri-menopausal women, might be taking biotin to help with hair loss - asked me if I had been taken biotin supplements and immediately told me to stop. She said I would be better off taking iron (as my ferritin levels were low) in addition to vitamin D (in Ireland we are all chronically low in Vit D as the sun NEVER visits us!). I am about 2 months in and already my hair/skin feel and look healthier AND my anxiety/mood has improved dramatically. So just a quick side-note for everyone (not just peri-menopausal women!!). xxx

I used the blow out brush and got major breakage from one usage, even with leave in conditioner and heat protection. The only way I don't see breakage when styling is letting my hair air dry 75%+ and then round brush/blow dryer on low. Takes FOREVER with my length now(at the middle of my butt but I'm only 5'2").
