Trav, what an Awesome Job, you've done! Kept the Humor too 😂🤣😂! You weren't kidding, it is a LOT of Science, behind hair care! I'm looking forward to your next video! ✌🏼 (PS:. Is your hair becoming waiver?!)
I unconsciously avoided silicones for a week (I tried a natural mask and shampoo) and my hair was dry and breakable. I couldn't even brush it. Awful. I am definitely not a person that should avoid them.
My hair was damaged and a mess, dry and ugly. Currently i started to use this silicone based leave in conditioner, my hair was transformed. Now it’s so soft and shiny, i cannot stop touching and staring at it. You could never tell it was damaged. I’m so impressed. I did worry if the silicone was harmful though, and that’s why i’m here.
@@voneyeva it very much IS a thing. Once you chopped of the damaged part it can grow back healthy, which wouldn’t happen if you don’t chop it. Because the damage crawls it’s way up for example. So yeah, chopping off damaged hair IS part of healing your hair.
Best video about silicone ever! I love science, I love truth, thanks for bringing such a good content. After years following the cgm, my once shining, full and healthy looking hair (silicone days) became brittle, EXTREMELY DRY, frizzy and half gone with bold patches, and that's how I put 1+1 and started researching about all this hatred about silicone.. It doesn't make any sense, so I'm back using my beloved silicones because our hair strands are dead, it will never get restored, and that's where silicone comes to help forming a good seal to make it look good. I have 3b curly hair and everyone always admired it until I started with this madness about cgm...I followed all the tips on washing and removing the co wash from the scalp, massage it well etc, but it just made me lose my hair :( I'm going to start doing some cider vinegar scalp rinse to remove all the co wash build up, if you have a recipe for it please share with us :)
Yeah I noticed my hair has been getting more frizzy than usual, brittle as well, and my hair just feels weaker (I have fine hair). Like yeah this whole movement for the cgm helped me find my curl pattern but I find my hair lifeless at the same time.
Hi Man, i just ADORE when someone put some order in a commonly simplified subject. It's easier for our brain to build absolute rules but they're often just a part of the truth. Greetings from 🇮🇹 🤙🏻
Man it's so overwhelming with shampoos and conditioners I wish I didn't need to use them. Right now I only have shampoo but no conditioner or oil and I know I need one but it's overwhelming for me.
So relieved that I can start using silicones again for my crusty dry curly hair 😂. I strictly used natural products for the past seven years but was never very happy with them, they weigh down my hair and don’t really smooth my hair. I Will still use nutrient rich natural products but with dimethicone to seal everything in. I’m so glad I don’t have to use any harsh shampoo I can use more gentle ones. maybe every now and then something more harsh if there’s a lot of buildup.
I decided to go back to non curly specific products and my curls started curling to my roots again. A lot of curly products are too heavy for my hair despite it being very curly. I'm now convinced my hair is very fine in texture and seems to be medium to high porosity. Yet it doesn't like heavy products. But if I find lightweight yet moisturizing products I'm fine.
I only wash my hair with a natural bar soap shampoo and they never looked this good. I struggled with it for years before finding what works. I guess that everyone is so different that you cannot say for sure what is “good” or “bad” for your hair
Yes, same! As much as he might be right scientifically, it just not right for me. I dumped ALL my products while I was changing my entire lifestyle and went on a journey of a completely plastic free bathroom. I replaced all of my products with just three things: natural shampoo bar, natural conditioner bar, 100% pure argan oil. Before, I made sure to have basically the perfect routine, balanced out the amount of silicones I was using literally the way he said would be fine - but it wasn’t. Now that I got rid of all those silicones, my hair is fuckin blooming, it’s the best it’s ever been, my natural curls bounce like little maniacs and they shine so much I don’t even like it anymore lol.
I have fine, shiny hair and experiencing hair lose problem. Didn’t know that I should avoid silicone hair products but I’ll start looking into it. Thanks for the upload!
I have natural curly hair and I'm following CGM for 3 months now and my hair tend to have more frizz now than before. But my curls are definitely more curly now. So, now I'm gonna explore non CGA curly hair products and see if the frizz and my curls would benifit from it. :) PS. I'm aware cgm is a long process.
For me, I find that using silicone free shampoo and conditioner lengthens the time until my next shampoo. If I use silicone ones, my hair feels weighed down and quickly gets greasy, even now with my shoulder length stereotypical hispanic hair.
Great video and good information- what about the silicones clogging your hair follicles? Is a sulfate type shampoo good enough to slough the scalp? Have you ever used an apple cider vinegar wash to remove silicones or to give your scalp a good cleansing?
Hey Trav! Just found your vids recently and really love them. You should look into making a Discord server instead of just a facebook group. Not many people I know are really using facebook anymore and discord could be a great option for people to chat/show off clothing or hair styles etc. Could be a cool way to build the community/ interact with viewers. Either way love the vids. Keep it up!
I used the “Original” Silicone Serum SEBASTIAN LAMINATES and it worked great. But most silicone products gave me scalp pimples as did mineral oil and lanolin and its derivatives.
This is the best video ever on Silicones. I’m so fucking tired of mfs saying you need Sulfate to remove it. This guy proved that you don’t need sulfates but other anioic surfactants and lighter combined ones to strip away silicones!
Hi Trav,a burning question, what to use with very fine thinning hair on top? i,m 62 grewing my hair out for the second time in my life but i,m a little confused. i treat my hair very gentle,with wide tooth comb and some seasalt spray and a very light hair creme just a very little amount, and after washing a few drop natural oil for my fine see through hair on top. i hope for a good advice thanks.😎
I wanted to add, that people with hard water should also avoid silicones, cause the hard water already build ups the hair and makes it weight it down... Last thing at 9:49 the shampoo has hydrolized jojoba ester should I worry? I'm very sensitive to protein even extracts that contain protein/amino acids in small quantity ?
Please tell me where you get your hair ties! All the normal black hair ties I find cut off my wrist circulation so badly, but the ones I see in your videos are so gloriously stretchy!
Well this is a helpful video 👍 but my problem is that I used a silicon based hair serum, after one week when I come back from the shower, my hair were feeling rough and dry. It's been 2 weeks now, I'm still feeling the same problem. Now I've just thrown the serum bottle in a garbage. What is the solution of this problem please tell me if anyone's know about it.
Have you ever used davines hair products? They carry some of the best products on the market. Shampoos with sulfonate 14-16 and mild silicones in their conditioners.
Can you make your intro look clear i mean ur beautiful with medium hair and long hair too but with medium more but when watching ur intro i cnt see the pictures so much there is so much glitch in the intro . Anywas one like from me and please be happy and one day u will hit 100.000sub so dnt stop man
Does it make sense to use a conditioner after a silicon shampoo?.. if silicons seal the hair it can't take the conditioner or hair masks in..or do I understand something wrong?
Hi, i am using shampoo with DIMETHICONE, but its medicaly for my sebhoreic dermatitis, i am using this shampoo only 2 per week, and after i use this shampoo i use second 100% bar shampoo to wash off the silicone is that ok?
My hair is frizzy no matter what products I use whether there's a silicone involved or an occlusive my hair always puffs up in the TX humidity. Why though I thought silicones were supposed to be humidity blockers that stop frizz from ever occurring at all.
Honey you need to head on to the Natural Black Hair community for answers to that, best to look for influencers that address and can relate to the problem you are facing.
@@dlilwon But I don't have that type of hair at all I have fine wavy hair, I can't use a lot of the products that they use it would be way too heavy for my hair.
What do you think of a natural argan oil extracted literally from almonds directly to my hands, is that a good thing to get healthy hair without any need of other products ? PS: I think the only difference between that and drug store products is a few silicones and the fragrance
How would you maintain your hair the next day cuz my hair just so frizzy and my ends just curly random and can't brush them away. It's been about 8 months without getting my haircut. What's routine would you do to avoid frizz and whilst keeping your hair fresh???
Try coconut oil or agran(whatever it's called/named) oil. They do wonders. Make sure to get a fragrance free one. Read the ingredients, the less ingredients the better. I tried a agran oil with fragrance and it kinda made my scalp or head itchy sometimes, tho the other fragrance free small bottle agran oil didn't. I prefer the coconut oil, works better for me.
Um sir basically what you are doing is scraping hair its scissors and please remember this that is not silicone build up it is going to make your hair weaken and feel more thin. So ur cutting and also damaging ur hair.
I literally used V05 for months after having used silicone-heavy products for years and my hair felt and looked amazing, but it irritated my scalp after a while so I switched to a dandruff shampoo with silicones and ever since then my hair has been tangled to hell. I've tried going back to V05 and using a keratin-based OGX shampoo and conditioner and nooothing is working. My hair will feel nice for one day after cleansing and conditioning and the the very next day I can't run my hands through without pulling out a wad of hair. What the hell?! What should I do? :/
If silicone heavy products worked then maybe try looking for other brands itchy/scalp relief products or maybe your scalp is sensitive and you should look into sensitive shampoo and conditioners? Free and clear is a good one from what I heard
But is it safe to use a sulfate shampoo then a silicone conditioner every day or every second day? Especially for people with curly hair? My main concern is that sulfates will strip/dry the hair and then the silicone conditioner will seal in that dryness. Or would the conditioner still be able to penetrate and moisturise the hair before the silicones seal it? Will a silicone conditioner be able to replace everything that the sulfate shampoo removed? And can your hair absorb any moisture from leave-in conditioners or hair/curl creams if you use a silicone conditioner?
Silicone is terrible for sensitive skin. I was just drying my hair and A LOOOOT of white stuff was in my hand 💀 I just use shampoo, almost don't use anything else. My scalp is all itchy since a while. Hate does fucking shampoos, I don't ask for pretty hair I just want to be clean!!! This is horrible! Thanks for all the tips! I was just washing my hair with soap because I don't know what else to do 💀💀💀😰😱
maybe you should use actually more products like conditioner etc that soothe your scalp or oils like castor or olive oil. Shampoo alone dries the hair and scalp out pretty much and that can cause the dandruff or itchy patches. In conclusion try to moisturize your hair and scalp and not just use shampoo
2 months off 2 years of hair growth. I am starting to honestly get sick of my hair being long. I don't know how girls do it, it is just a pain in the ass. Bet ya I am gonna go fuck it one day and do something with it.
