Like this advice? Well, Professor Van Ness has an entire series called JVN School with lessons galore. And yes, I’m speaking about myself in 3rd person. More JVN School here: ru-vid.com/group/PL0dRCVtZCk1KWOkLGkvQ9IDDXnyNg-NQx
Thank you so much! This is information I've heard before, but the way you explained it made it really absorb. You're a great teacher, Jonathan! I'm "enrolling" in JVN school pronto.
GUYS. Could we have a moment to recognize the pure mermaid vibes JVN's top is giving us?? OMG. With the purple background? I am in love. Okay - now I will listen to the hair advice. Carry on!
I'm going to have to get some International Foods Coffee to celebrate the moment of his life...( who is OLD enough to get my 80s commercial reference?)??!!
Will you ever do a video for straight / fine / thin / flat hair? I see so many videos of these beautiful thick heads of hair and just feel sad because I know my hair won’t ever look like that! You are such a positive person i know you could make us flat hair girls and guys feel better!
Thank you so much for the tip about not slicking back your hair when it’s wet! I do it all the time when it’s freakin’ hot outside and I don’t want to blow dry and have have a lot of those boinky little hairs on top of my head. Will stop immediately!!! 😁😘
It was a bad habit of mine since when I was a kid and spent 5+ hours/day in a swimming pool. I stopped doing it a couple years ago and now have alot less breakage on top of my head.
I never really thought of getting my hair done as collaborative art, but it is. That's a very insightful way to phrase the process. Before I finally found a stylist who specializes in my texture, getting my hair done was a laborious but necessary chore done with people who came across like they didn't want my hair to be the way it is. I'm so glad it feels good to get a haircut now and I leave the salon smiling.
number 7 feels awkward but it is VERY important. I just recently got my hair colored and it ended up being double what I initially expected 🥴 so when I went back to get my haircut with the same girl, I did mention the price I booked for and to make sure that's what I'll be paying and she said yes and it was indeed what I booked for..So, as uncomfortable and awkward it may feel, PLEASE do talk about pricing so thank YOU JVN for bringing this up 🤩🙌🏼👏🏼
A video that would help me a lot, as a fine, thin, curly hair gal who can't figure it out ...great haircuts for fine thin curly hair! 😁🙂 Everytime I see anything you do it puts a huge smile on my face. Thanks!
Jonathan, this video should be on an ad board in downtown New York City! Everybody should see this! Fantastic common sense, advice and done with love! 🥰
Thank you for these! Seriously. I wish the lobby of every salon just ran this cute and wildly educational video of you on repeat! I always learn so much. Thanks again JVN 💖 We love you.
I watched/studied your videos as preparation for a major haircut, and before getting my haircut done I had such an easy time communicating my wants/needs to my hairstylist. By the end of the session, I was in love with my hair and now I know how to take better care of it. It's made me feel so much better and eased some of my social anxiety knowing I love my hair--my partner even noticed the little pep in my step. So thank you! I feel so much more confident with myself 🥰🥰
I also have social anxiety and omg going to get my hair cut/styled is always so intimidating! I feel so afraid to express what I want or to ask questions, it's a nightmare
So I decided to embrace my gray and go natural… had a consult first with my stylist then came back and the appointment was 5 hours. So 100% give your stylist time oh and a HUGE tip ❤️
Heyyyyy honey 🤗 I'm 56 and I am LEARNING from YOU 💝 On a side note, your ENERGY reminds me SO much of my own. People always wanted to confine me and or define me. And I see you living your best life, that gives me strength to be true to my heart and to my spirit! For this AND HAIR CARE I THANK YOU 💐🌈🥰💝
If you’re gonna be in NOLA in October, I owe you a hug!!! I use your product and it saved my hairs love life!!! 💖 These do’s and don’ts are #1 yaaaaaasss!!
I’m so excited I got my first JVN products today at Sephora! Got the scalp oil and the instant recovery serum and can’t wait to use them. I think it was the passion in your voice that clinched it…”Our scalps must NEVER be ignored!” ☺️❤️☺️❤️
Omg 😳😱😱 I've been doing number 4 daily for years (just because I'm too lazy to dry my hair before putting it back).... And now I know why my hair is constantly frizzy and broken despite best efforts. Thank you!!
So appreciative of the wisdom you are sharing. You introduced me to Biossance (thank you so much for that!), and I would love, love, love if JVN created flow charts for order of products for different hairstyling needs like Biossance does for skin care routines. So if you want to straighten your hair, blow out your hair, curl your hair, etc, here is the order and the products you use. I am such a novice around how to do my hair and what products (for example was going to try blowing out my hair and assumed air dry cream would help with 'holding' the blow out but then was listening to you here and understood that is not what it is for. This might be so obvious to some but having a visual flowchart for which of your products to grab in what order for different styles would be SUPER helpful for me. Thanks for all you do!
Oh my gosh THANK YOU!!!!!! You have NO IDEA How Much I appreciate all the information and it's SO refreshing to watch a video without having the urge of beating my head against the wall repeatedly! 😂 I have been so desperate to just understand what the heck is best, how to take care of it and all that good stuff! I'm stoked RU-vid suggested your channel and don't worry, I definitely subscribed!
I dyed my hair and then started growing it out, thinking I could use 10 vol colour on it to match it up as it grew out, but each time I coloured, I overlapped a tiny bit without realizing. Soon I had dyed over 3" of regrowth. They say 10 vol washes out, but the peroxide lightens the hair. SO now I have three zones of hair.: the bleached, the peroxided, and the natural. It's slow going.
My hair has never looked better. I literally do whatever you say. Whole JVN line, silk pillow case, wide tooth comb, all the things. Thanks gurl! P.s. when is the dry shampoo coming #pleasepleaseplease
Omg I need a before and after! Well we’re announcing our complete conditioning mist today!! That’s a start. And we’re working furiously in the labs to make more product 👀
JVN I love you so much!!! Thank you for helping us unlock the best, most fab hair!! I've been using your products for 6 months now and oh my gosh my hair has literally never looked or felt better!!!
For me, THE BIGGEST, most LIFE CHANGING tip you have shared is having a wet brush when washing hair. Now that I use one, my scalp feels cared for, shampoo and conditioner reach every nook and cranny, and everything rinses so easily. Seriously, I can’t rave enough. I just bought a bunch of JVN hair products and I can’t wait to try them!
Seriously love JVN scalp oil! I took some of your previous advice about double cleansing when shampooing (I do a clarifying shampoo, then currently JVN Embody shampoo) and I am seeing my hair and scalp flourishing over time! My hair (ends, really) always looks best on day 2/3 post wash; I’m using the air dry cream to try to create the wavy texture that my hair chills out into, right on wash day with ok results, my hair just likes to be a little dirty, I guess 🤷🏻♀️
Jonathan, can you PLEASE do like a hair styling and product class on Camp Pendleton for female service members? When I was active duty I had so much breakage due to trying to abide by orders pertaining to how our hair should look in uniform. Seriously, like we go in with somewhat healthy hair and then some of us come out with bad receding hairlines or thinning hair. It would be a really great education in the field and when not in the field.
I just love to listen to you! Thank you for being exactly as you are Jonathan! You have opened my eyes to so much regarding hair but also you are just such a bad ass. You give so much loveliness and heart felt authenticity. Thank you for everything you contribute, because what you are doing is changing the gosh darn freaking world!
Didn't know a lot of these. I especially love love love tip #4 - do not tie knot hair tightly when wet. Thanks for taking time to share care tips all the time! ❤️❤️
I’ve tried talking to my hairstylist but they make some kind of face like saying “I’m not here talk” so I feel so discourage talking to them ☹️ I still haven’t find one that really gets me, but I’ll keep trying! Thanks for the advice!
My love it took me 3 years to grow out my grey hair, always kept it long, still long down to my back and it’s the very best thing I ever did. I tone it once every 4/6 months , really every 6 months my stylist it almost three hours away from me. Highly recommend everything you suggested, plus letting go of dye, ladies be you, my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. My hair is layered softly and I have curly hair, I have the best of both worlds ! Talk about us grey hair ladies in your next context ! Xoxo
Omg! I did wet ponytail a few weeks ago and my hair is already brittle. 🥲🥲 thanks for letting me know about this warning. I will never do a wet ponytail again.
I was referred to this video through a fan of your video. Its funny because I wanted to give the fan a hair tip and found the person is actually trying to look good despite the frizzy, frazzled hair. If the person would just try a hair straightener tool, they would look really good.
Johnathan, thank you You inspire me to take better care of myself and be more self expressive! Curious to know how to take care of the community of grays that have made my head home! Would love a segment on that! The world is better with you in it Thanks boo
I feel very proud of myself that I’m not making any of these mistakes! Woo! Shout out to my hairdresser who is probably the reason. I’ve been seeing her since I was a literal baby. I’m also just going to plug here… JVN products changed my hair life. I always thought my hair was just BORING. It’s straight and doesn’t like to do much without hours of work. I started using some JVN products like the scalp oil, air dry cream and volumizing shampoo. My hair is so.. PRETTY. It’s silky and shiny. I don’t even CARE that it’s stock straight anymore. Go. Go now. BUY THEM. BUY THEM ALL!!
I have also learned that if you ask your stylist a million billion questions, you'll have such a good understanding of your cut that you can make it look awesome as it grows out between appointments, and won't have that frustration that it doesn't look the same as it did when it was cut 5 weeks ago. Priceless~
Yas yas yas to scalp care! A few years ago I began to have eczema flare-ups on my scalp and I went on a deep dive journey to give my scalp some much needed TLC. I still to this day maintain a lot of those practices. Also, LOVING this peacock teal moment you're giving us. Giving me Dalton Castle vibes!
Since a couple of years I also have eczema on my scalp and am really searching for how to give as much love as possible to my scalp. But it’s really hard, as nothing seems to truly work. Spoke to my hair dresser, spoke to the doctor, but no real results. So I would love to know your secret and what you found on your deep dive! And dying to try the scalp oil of jvn, but they do not ship to my country :(
@@femke7745 eczema is tough since it can be autoimmune triggered so even finding what tends to be your trigger can be a big help. I realized mine was stress related, and when I would be in spiraling stress mode I would pick and scratch even more (which made things worse), so I would have to consciously make an effort not to touch. I also found rosemary and mint oils to be a huge help in hair products. Hask has a rosemary scalp mask I adore and Beauty Without Cruelty also has a rich rosemary mint conditioner (I would slather my scalp in it that as a mask and put normal conditioner at my ends). I've been using Derma E's scalp/psoriasis shampoo and conditioner. Neutrogena also has their T-Sal shampoo which I use when things got very bad (I would essentially use that in conjunction with the Derma E shampoo), the salicylic acid in it is really good to slough off the rough patches and flakes so I was less likely to pick at them. I believe Walgreens makes a generic version too, so that can help save a few bucks. Klorane had a peony scalp spray that I would use when I would get itchy as it was soothing, but it's a small bottle and sometimes I would run through it fast. I would do a scalp scrub maybe every third wash, I've used ones from Pacifica, Christophe Robin, and Ouai. The Pacifica one has rosemary and mint oils and is the most cost-effective. That one and rhe CR one are sea salt based so they're a bit more coarse, the Ouai one is much finer so it may be more gentle, but no matter what, don't use rough pressure or force when working it into the hair/along the scalp. You don't want it to scratch up your scalp or damage the eczema portions. I hope some of this helps, best of luck and I hope you find a process and products that can help make your eczema more manageable!
My sister is a stylist and she told me about a client she had once that always slicked her hair back in a ponytail while it was wet, every day. She did not go to a stylist for years and when she took her hair down for the appointment her hair was mouldy where the elastic was, since it never ever dried. 😕
Just wanted to say I started using your shine drops on my ends and my hair is next level now! The shine drops fit in so well to my scalp oil + nurture shampoo/conditioner. I'm def going to try your conditioning mist next time I order.
Lol I was eyeing off your blow out from the beginning. And YES THANK YOU!! Make the time for your stylist to make sure we have the to ensure we can give you what you came for love! ❤ we so badly want you to LOVE your hair
Your channel nourishes me Jonathan! I seriously just let my wavy hair air dry loose every day, but as a hair style novice I'm learning a lot and even tried the curly buns on my daughter - so cute! Gotta get your air dry creme! ☺️
My hair grows a lot faster than what you are suggesting. I know some people who cut their hair to shoulder length and then have nearly waist length hair a year later.
JVN- 2:26. 😂 I just love you. I want you to help me with my son’s hair. He’s turning 13 soon. He’s in middle school 😢 It is hard out there for a kid these days. Okay, now I will resume my regularly scheduled viewing. Love love love you always 💜✨💜
Wow - I learned the hard way about hair color! Thanks for the great advice. Learned a lot. And - “We’re going to have to take that monitor away from you.” 😂😂😂
First of all I love all your youtube videos! Especially the school of life and, of course, the curly hair tips. Second but most important,, though I know that maybe this isn't the right platform to complement this part of your work, but ADORE, actually I'm FASCINATED with your getting curious podcast. I've learnt so much, and got so many book recommendations from the episodes (I'm listening to the When Viruses Spread... just now). I have to say this, for a queer, non-binary person from Portugal, which is also a science nerd, you are awesome and you make me feel less lonely. I just wish you were shipping your JVN line to Europe! Thank you for being who you are.
I find it super tricky to get my hair cut at a salon because the ends always end up super bulky and triangular which just leaves me feeling like I wasted $100. The last few times I have cut my own hair which sofar has turned out pretty good but I also dont trust myself to cut off the 8+ inches that actually should be removed.
I remember mom perming my hair in high school, 35 yrs ago, lol. And, she left the processing on too long and my hair broke off in several places and left my with patches and curl rod length stubble. It was the day before prom even. Needless to say, I had a fro
@@jvn smells AMAZINGLY clean! I worked it in per your video instructions and did 2 braids to air dry. Side note how amazing that you replied. Not me fangirling at all. ✨🥰🤍
Thank you Jonathan, this video is great and I will now be looking after my scalp and trying your scalp oil. Am really grateful for your sharing of your hair expertise (plus you have same type of hair as mine, fine and curly) and your brilliantness on Queer Guy x
True about not knowing how to style the new hair cut can lead to not liking it . I have used prewash scalp oil and it is really amazing . Being a breastfeeding mom I tried a lot of things for my worst hair fall but this oil was so far the best . I have noticed less hair fAll . I know it Does not say anything about hair fall but this is the change I noticed after using the oil .
When are you expanding to Europe? I think my hair is in desperate need of JVN shampoo, conditioner and definitely the scalp oil 😩 I’m totally lost on how to fix my scalp (severe eczema) and hearing you talk about your products it’s seems to me my go to.
I definitely am guilty of the wet slickback and will remand my ways. I'm also a healthcare worker wearing n95s daily and I'm noticing a lot of breakage near my temples/widows peaks. Other than wearing a cloth band to protect my hair, is there anything I can do to prevent breakage? Also how do I style down these flyaway cause I have very long blue hair and it looks a bit disheveled when my braids are perfect. I have your whole hair care line, currently using your scalp oil and repair s/c combo. I love your instant recovery serum and air dry cream, it's all been helping a ton. The length is hydrated and I have gorgeous beach waves after I let my braids out, but I'm struggling with flyaways when I need my hair up and put of my face when I secure for my work in the lab 🔬 omg love you and thank you for all the tips!! ❤️💜💚
Omg I'm sooo scared of scalp oil bc I have crazy dandruff and always heard conditioner and stuff like that will make it worse!! I swear I'll stop putting my hair back while it's wet IMMEDIATELY lol
I brought pictures. Didn't matter. Hair was shorter, by about 5 inches. Switched, and I've colored for years. Love my RED. Lady couldn't get my red right for nothing. Started bringing pictures. Of myself, of pictures on the net of others with the red I love. She made me brown with a hint of red. I quit her also and went back to coloring myself. Currently unhappy with latest hairdresser, that I drive to another state to go to because I love the salon but they switched my stylist because she went on maternity leave. Ugh.
