Didn't wash my hair for 7 days (here's what happened lol) Overprocessed hair HEALED!!! (bleached 4x) 

Hi btw I'm blow drying with cold air; read more below !! Products I used: Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 goo.gl/GFyMFn Olaplex Travel Size Full Kit goo.gl/VoUpNJ Olaplex Full Kit goo.gl/7eBgg5 Harayuki Hair Treatment Coconut Oil goo.gl/QQCnCr Marc Anthony Shampoo & Conditioner goo.gl/zcVndT Joico Color Endure Violet Conditioner goo.gl/LkkmEu Joico Color Endure Violet Shampoo & Conditioner goo.gl/oiH4NV Eva nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer goo.gl/bwm4HV TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Protectant Spray goo.gl/xUwQR4 I used a heat protectant for protective measures before blowdrying with cold. If I try to air dry my hair it literally won't dry for 15 years cuz it's over processed sob the longer it's wet the more damage can happen so if your hair is over processed you need to dry with cold air asap!

"Omg I can't open my eyes......not that I could anyways." 😂 I laughed way too hard at that.

Looks much better now. You remind me of a snow fairy

Girl spray rose water on your hair to make it smell nicer

Can you please keep doing these updates? It's very educational to see the gradual repair of over processed hair.

Try a wooden brush! It distributes the oils a lot better and it's more gentle for the hair :)

From a hairdresser the olaplex needs to be in wet hair for it to activate this is coming from the technician from olaplex , the product stops working once the hair is dry , hope that helps .its pricey don’t want you to waste it .

GALAHAD FILMING THATS ADORABLE

Nami you should wait little bit before going with another colour.. I think platinum looks so fairly (if that's a word) on you!🔥

Maybe use an essential oil to cover the musky smell..?

also galahad is so cute narrating you, ahaha "my mam is doing a treatment"

Wait, is that weird? I wash my hair once a week all the time.

Awww how cute is your boy ❤ "my mum is doing a treatment" hehe too sweet

if you don't have oily roots, try deep rinsing the hair instead of washing with shampoo for a while, some people do the no shampoo washing. that might also help bring down the scalp oils and dilute it into the hair ends too. I did the same to my hair a while back, but its so much healthier now. I only need to use conditioner on the very ends now and the pieces around my face that I like to curl a bit more often

Argan oil smells incredible good, is so much better than perfume... You need to try argan oil. I love it.

The blonde hair is gorgeous and really suits you Nami

Hey grl!! Jus wanted to let you know I've been through this same exact thing. I'll let you know what worked for me: 1) DON'T BOTHER SHAMPOOING! Don't even get it wet just for maybe 2-3 weeks, the longer you wait the better, but really, now isn't the time to beat yourself up over having unstyled hair. Get dry shampoo if you want it to look nice. When I had white hair, I really didn't have any excessive oily appearances even if I didn't wash it. 2) Only use treatments for chemically treated hair. Olaplex definitely makes a difference. Your hair doesn't function like hair now, so natural products aren't going to make it workable. 3) Wrap your hair with something silky at night, sleep in hair treatments every night, rise them with water in the morning, and the add more treatment. 4) Remember this unworkable hair is TEMPORARY. It WILL get better. Good luck!!

"If your hair hasn't broken off, there is hope." -Namii Cho 2017

some black people have dry brittle hair naturally and very little oil that rarely runs down the hair shaft because kinky hair doesnt fall down. just floofs up. So your routine is somewhat similar to what 4b/c naturals go through once or twice a week to maintain the health of their hair and scalp

Do most of you wash your hair daily? I didn't think it was a big deal to go a week without washing one's hair, especially if your hair is accustomed to it and doesn't become greasy in that period of time. I could never wash my hair more often than 1x per week. It would be dry and unmanageable.

The rice noodles comparison kills me. I know EXACTLY what you mean. Unfortunately the only way to get rid of it is grow it out

Maybe just put oils (coconut/Aragon oils) in your hair like any hair products after you shower everyday/every other day. That’s what I did! Eventually it did start to be smooth , stronger and breakage was less noticeable!

Damaged hair will stay damaged, it doesn't matter what treatment you do. Treatments will just make the hair look beter.

It might be a good idea to stop using shampoo at all, even the free sulfate ones, and start using a cleaning conditioner( a co-wash)! A lot of curly hair girls use it, because our natural oils can`t go all the way to the ends of the hair, so using a shampoo can be to agressive. Also remember to only put shampoo or co-wash in the roots of your hair and never in the ends! Don`t worry about not cleaning all your hair, because when you rinse it, the water mixed with the prduct you had in your head will clean the rest of the hair. Good luck with the reparing process!! Your videos are great!!

Uses the racist joke against herself hahahaha

I love your hair Nami and it looks so good o you 😍

you should look into a wooden bristle brush, they help distribute the oils in your hair better since its porous :)

I truly believe damaged hair can mess with your mental health especially if it seems like its beyond repair. Well done. I loved every minute.

I literally love your hair videos. It's such a huge relief to see that someone else has gone through the emotional and physical stress that comes with frying your hair. Your tips and tricks for hydration and repairing your hair are helping so many people. Please update us on your hair routine soon

*Hey They Have Hair Perfumes That You Can Spritz Onto Your Hair To Make It Smell Really Good & They Contain Healthy Oils And Vitamins Your Hair Needs It Would Be Way Better To Use On Your New Platinum Hair Than Actual Perfume If That's What You're Using* 😘

You mentioned trying a vegetable dye for treatments. These will stain your hair, and it will be more damage to get it back to blonde. I'd suggest trying Virgin Snow by Manic Panic. It's a toner that is suppose to make it white blonde. If you wanted a fashion color I'd say use a pastel dye or make your own pastel with sulfate free conditioner. Good luck :)

You call yourself a makeup artist or cosmetologist but girl, your experience makes you a hair genius and there is NOT a written test for that!! Platinum star for you!!

I did a similar treatment to you. Not washing your hair for a week at a time seriously seems to be the best treatment for hair that money can't buy! I would recommend the Amika hair mask for a deep conditioner if you're ever interested btw! :) It was the only deep conditioner that made my dead strands feel alive again

If I didn't wash my hair for so long it would look like I dipped my hair in a pan full of oil

I'm glad your hair is starting to recover!!

I ruined my hair so bad by dying it blue, i dont know why it was so damaged but i couldnt brush it and it was so embarrassing so i went to the salon and they fixed it.

I always wash my hair only once a week. It makes it healthy, and after the first summer I tried this (went for even 2 weeks without washing) my scalp and hair got used to this kind of washing. I really like it, because I have long hair, and it takes hours to wash it. Others always compliment my hair, even when it's 4 days or more old. My 4-day hair look like others second day hair.

As a hairstylist I’d have to say this is quite interesting. It makes sense that the natural oils from your hair would heal and the cuticle would repair.. you could be on to something girl! 🤓😉

Coconut oil or jojoba oil. Both of them are amaizing at restoring hair. They are very close to natural oil. Apply on dry hair, leave in as long as possible, overnight if you can. Then wash out. Do this once a week before you wash.

I'm really happy that you feel better about your hair ! I hope you'll be able to have healthy hair again 😄

the entire section with galahad filming made my heart so happy

If you're going to color it, I've heard good things about Overtone. It's a colored conditioner basically and it could help a lot also!

Galahad is so cute

Oh my gosh when she said I can't open my eyes, not that I could anyways. She is so pretty and the hair complements her so much.

For someone with asian hair to get as white as you have at home on your first attempt is amazing, your hair looks great!

Hey! First time here ^^ you look gorgeous with white hair and your son is definitely adorable!! I've had white and pastel colored hair for years, but since my hair is too oily, I couldn't refrain from washing for more than 3 days cause it starts looking embarrassingly gross. What I do to recover damaged hair though is to kind of understand what your hair needs. If your hair is brittle and ellastic (tangling too easily) after processing, it definitely needs keratin and proteins. You can buy a keratin based treatment in any cosmetic store and there are some cheap ones that work really well, or even buy a protein hair mask and include a pure keratin ampoule inside ^^ usually what i do to prevent severe damage is when I wash my hair off the bleach I already do a keratin treatment right away, because the bleach certainly removes most of it from your hair. This part of the treatment is called reconstruction and you can do it up to twice a month to keep your hair strong. If you do too much, the keratin will make your hair harden and break again. In between the reconstruction masks you can also do hydration masks, which is basically putting back the water and oils your hair lost during the chemical process and it also loses every day, so you can do these pretty often if you want. And in between, you do some nutrition masks, which will put back the vitamins your hair needs to grow and shine and blind everyone around you. There are many ways of doing these treatments and you can even use pure oils to mix with the hair mask and make it like a bomb treatment. Unfortunately, when we choose to have white or colorful hair, we have to work to keep it pretty, specially cause when we touch up the roots it gets damaged again and the damage usually comes back over time even if you don't process anymore. If you can just reserve 10 minutes every two or three days to sit and do these hair masks, I'm pretty sure everyone will be talking about your hair all the time. :D products that help heaps: argan oil, jojoba oil, macadamia oil, aloe vera essence, vitamin a, vitamin e, d-panthenol, ceramide, biotin, wheat protein, milk, silk protein, these are all things you can either buy on its own or look for in products ingredients. The first time you go looking is a lot of work cause you have to read all the stuff but once you find the products you like you can settle down with them :) if I can recommend one product for nutrition is the Argan Oil Silk Hair Mask Pack. The price is around $10 for a tube but it lasts a long time and it does wonders! Good luck!!

I could never not wash my hair for a week omg I hate the way my hair feels when its all oily an greasy jfkdkclf ur a hero

You said you felt like your hair was less "musky" the second time that you went a week without washing your hair. You did a pretty good job explaining why. Hair doesn't need to be washed every day, and the more often you allow your natural oils to distribute throughout the hair, the less oily your scalp will actually be. Hair becomes greasy quickly when your scalp is dehydrated to compensate.

i feel like i need to thank you. i had bleached my hair about 3x but the third time it burned my hair. i had really long hair and now its somewhat short, and it has damaged my hair a lot. ive been desperately trying to find ways to help my hair heal. and i came across your video i have tried this 4x now and omg it has helped so much! just on the last day i put coconut oil mixed with castor oil and miracles have happened not only that my hair has grown so much faster! and for that im so thankful coming across your video! you have a new subscriber, plus i enjoy your videos lol

If you want your hair to smell nice without drying it out, you can just try putting on a good smelling body lotion on your hair. I know it sounds weird, but I've been doing it for years now and my hair is really healthy and soft.

In a tinted glass bottle, fill 3/4 with distilled water and then add a few drops of your favourite essential oils. I use tea tree oil, which kills bacteria and fungus. It will help moisturise your scalp and hair while fighting the musky smell when you can't wash for a week or so. Spray in the morning, maybe also before you go to bed. I do this for my dreadlocks!

Girl can we talk about how good your hair looks like omg 😍 you’ve made a lot of progress and I’m so happy for you! I have blonde hair too and it took me like 2 years to get to where it is now although it is still slightly damaged that’s just the thing we have to deal with to maintain the blonde but I honestly don’t mind that much bc it used to be rock bottom and falling out to where I literally had a bald spot and had to get a sew in weave to let it grow back out 😬 but now it doesn’t break off at all and it hasn’t looked like ramen noodles for years lol I mean just keep doing what you’re doing all you really need is moisture from what I can see and that’s basically what every fake blonde needs bc our hair gets dry. Your hair looks really good and suits you very well!😊

Hello! I too have gone through a very similar hair disaster. Since you are talking about how less damaged your hair is, i thought you should know that this does not go away. You've been taking a lot of care of your hair and so it looks better but if you went back to a careless shampoo and conditioner routine, in a couple weeks the hair would go back to looking as damaged as before. Once hair is damaged like this it can not really be repaired. You have to continue a steady hair care routine to improve its look and maintain it looking as healthy as possible. Your hair has improved a lot so please don't stop taking care of it!

'Not that I could anyways'.. ok,subscribed

Girl you look bomb asf with platinum please don’t change it

Gurl, you have to use essential oils! I started using a combination of coconut oil, avocado oil, and castor oil and it helped my hair sooooo much!!!!

About 6 months ago I bought this hair products that are new in my country called Monoi Tiki Tahiti. Giiiiirl, I've never had my hair grow so fast and healthy before ! You could try looking them up 'cause it's gonna help you make your hair so smooth and silky ❤

It looks so pretty!! Ahh so jealous, I love platinum hair😍❤️✨

I’m clapping. People don’t understand that everyone’s hair is different. I wash every 2-4 days. Despite bleaching and coloring I have no split ends.

I just recently bleached my dark Asian hair (3x at the salon :'( ) and dyed it blonde bayalage. So I've been watching a lot of youtube videos on haircare and found your channel! Your videos are super helpful!! Love watching them :) thanks for posting.

8:33 "my mommy is doing a treatmenment" THAT'S TOO CUTE I CAN'T EVEN UR SON IS AN ANGEL 😍😍😍

Uploaded 3 minutes ago and already 2 dislikes. Seriously these people have nothing better to do 😂

You should ask brad mondo for help

ive been following your progress as i bleach damaged my black dyed hair to white for blue and purple like 7 years ago. I did wind up just buzzing my head eventually-vowing to never bleach so much again. you can get your hair to a better texture but it never truly heals. it does look super cute on you, the platinum.

To also help keep it healthy trim the dead ends of every 6 to 8 weeks. It will help keep the hair growing healthier and it will keep the split ends from rising up through your hair

The title Makes me soo happy 🙋🏻🙆🏻‍♀️ IAM SO HAPPY!!!!

i’m glad your hair is getting better ahaha!! and can’t wait to see what you’ll dye your hair to next!

Thumbs up for Galahad. So cute. Also I've done the no wash thing and using an essential oil like lavender or orange will smell great and not have the drying effects of perfume.

Good job!! The absolute best way to heal hair is to not wash it and let your natural oils heal the damage.

When you are black and do everything she just did on a regular basis ✌🏽✌🏽 still tho nice video 👌🏽

Namii i love you💗💗💗 Hope you have a great day , i really love your vlogs, thank you for sharing your life with us, Always love and Support😘😘

I love your honesty and the detail/rationale you give for every decision. Also it has to be said that you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen...

This video just saved me! You instilled some hope in me. I just had my bleaching accident “at a salon” where he literally melted my hair. Luckily my scalp is OK, and only a part of the back of my head broke off. I can’t dry my hair yet and it looks like a green hay wig 😭😭Thank you for sharing.

my sister did the same treatment to my bleached hair as well. Though when I do shower, I do a leave in conditioner called "its a 10" and its amazing

How does your hair 'flip' inside naturally? I have a short bob (jaw length) and when my hair is wet it flips outward lol

I know your hair has been so damaged by bleaching but omg, this platinum blonde looks soooo beautiful on you! Also you are giving me hope with my dry damaged hair because yours def look much healthier after all the care you put into it! I am on week one, did a olaplex, oils bath and deep conditioning mask, followed by a leave in conditioner. And now I am letting my hair alone for a week.

Ok. If someone said that naturally black hair went platinum I’d automatically think it would look a horror show. BUT you look SO amazing in white-blonde hair!

Don't use a hair dryer! You will see the results pretty quick

The "smell" is actually the smell of youre the oil secreted from the pores in your scalp. These oils from your hair help to moisturize your hair and make it feel healthy but it does kinda stink xD. We strip those oils out by using shampoo to get rid of the greasiness and smell. I know this cause i watch the doctors on YT xDxD.

I love the comment section below your videos, it's full of helpful hair tips and product recommendations

Giiiiirrrrrllllllll I went to a hair salons to get my hair dyed professionally for the first time in my life and she really fucked up my hair 😭 I wanted a rose gold and I came out with over bleached hair and NEON PINK color which was NOT EVEN close what what I wanted I cried for like two days and have washed it like 4 times since to try and get the color out and it’s still so NEON! The ends especially at the front feel like wet noodles and I’ve considered shaving it 😭😭😭😭 i am definitely getting that olaplex and not washing my hair for a week and hope that it can be repair in a few weeks or months because it just feels so discussing and sad. But like you said if it’s still attached go my head there’s still hope!!! Thank you so much for this video!!

Okay girl, i'm gonna help you. GET AN OLAPLEX NUMBER 1 stand alone treatment on your whole head, and use all natural hair products. Olaplex number 1 is much stronger than the 3

What lipstick are you using in the thumbnail? It's gorgeous!

I'm happy that your hair is stronger and more healthy. Just a comment about the 7 day no wash experiment. It is my understanding that the less often you wash your hair (or strip the natural oils), the more your scalp gets use to it and produce less oils. This is the reason why the second time you did the 7 day no wash routine, you had less oily hair at the end.

I'm Asian and haven't had black hair since highschool, always platinum blonde. I always mixed Garner's triple nutrition and damaged hair conditioner(the yellow and orange bottles), mask my hair in it, wrap in plastic and let it naturally dry over a movie or something, and a couple times a week and my hair always feels super amazing. Cheap and amazing!!!!

i need hair tips!! i bleached my hair a few months ago and since then my hair is still like hay. ive tried hair masks, no washing, new shampoos and even cut a lot of the damged hair off but its still rough and frizzy. i have no idea how to get a soft airy hair texture.. can anyone give me some tips and some affordable products! (i cant find the products nami is using) 😭

Where did you get your lashes, 1:02 ?

I actually never comb my wet hair. I will put some oil (etude house silk scarf) in it and blowdry it for a little and then let it airdry. Also, I've been dying my hair pastel with la riche directions because it's a conditioner based dye, it nourishes more. But my ends were so damaged despite olaplex that the colour washed out after the first wash TT but you can always look into colour conditioners by overtone! I used that and it refreshed my colour so much! I hope this helps a little for when you dye your hair again ♡ (and anyone who is in a similar situation) I personally think the white looks bomb on you but you can rock anything, Nami!

HELLO!! As a STUDENT IN COSMETOLOGY school. The treatments are great to do every week for damage hair and your doing great repairing your hair! It’s actually good for your hair to be wash once a week. But it’s also very important to get a hair trim every 2 weeks as well. As your hair is starting to look a lot better and I have watch your other videos of course, but looking at it now, it still looks like you should get a shorter look. The ends of your hair will never look the same again anyway because they are the deadest part they’re is no way to help damage or split ends besides cutting it.. So I do think it would look cute if you got a shorter bob look!!! Seriously. Also look into marula oil!! It’s absolutely a amazing product they’re also a shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment with Marula oil that I highly recommend! It’s a Paul Mitchell product and I’ve used it when I had blonde hair and it helped out ALOT!!! One last tip washing your hair with colder water will also help out a lot, warm water opens up your cuticle which helps the shampoo to do it’s job but you don’t want the water too hot especially with damage hair colder water will close the cuticle and seals in the moisture, prevents frizz and makes it look smooth and shiny but washing your hair with colder water in general is a lot more healthier for your hair. I mean just look up the benefits of using colder water.. I hope you read my comment and I hope for the best for your hair!! As I am a person that loves everything about hair!! Xoxo 😙😊 OH.. one last last thing, from when I had blonde hair after I color it and cut bout 5 itches or so I noticed automatically a big difference! My hair is purple now and super healthy, from when I had blonde hair..

Let's get our nachofam to 100 000💞😁

I love how bleached hair looks on you, but it must be a pain in the ass 😂

Hey girl hey! My hair used to be super dry and what really helped me was the Joico Kpac luster lock conditioner/hair mask. I use it regularly as a conditioner and when my hair was feeling super dry I would shower then afterwards I'd use it as a hair mask and leave it in for the whole day and even sleep in it. And it washes out really easy and won't leave your hair feeling greasy. Also, since you're probably going to be toning your hair with a purple shampoo, make sure you're using a good conditioner after toning it. Purple shampoo dries your hair out like crazzyyyy.

I'm here 4 years later because my hair is actually so fried that it doesn't really look or feel like hair anymore. 😭 Thank you for these tips I feel less alone and helpless now.

احبك I love you 🎀💕💕💕😻

you look so beautiful * - *

Moroccan Oil light tones dry shampoo would be great for you. It’s not drying at all, it’s purpose is just to absorb excess oil so that your hair doesn’t feel oily or weighed down. Plus it makes your hair smell amazing! I only wash my hair once a week & I use it, it’s amazing!

NAMI, TRY THE LOW/NO POO TECHNIQUES! Regular shampoos tend to use "harsh" sulfates, this is what strips the natural oils from your hair. Many "treatments" and conditioners contain insoluble silicone and petroleum derivatives to create a coat over the hair strands and reduce the appearance of the damage. However, these chemicals also build up on your hair and prevent the treatment from actually working. This is why your hair "gets used" to some treatments and you have to use "stronger" shampoo to strip all the chemicals. That creates a cycle where you damage the hair, put a lot of stuff to repair it and then strip it all off again. The low/no poo technique consists of using softer chemicals to clean your hair and treatments with less silicone/no mineral oils, to actually treat your hair and maintain part of those natural oils. It can take some time to get used to it and learn to read the composition on products, but the results can be amazing. Here in Brazil there are a lot of products for that, I believe it's called "the curly girl method" or something in the U.S.A and you can adapt it to you type of hair. PS.: DON'T GO FOR THE BAKING SODA/ACV method. Baking soda is still very harsh, although I'd recommend the apple cider vinegar diluted in water (1:4 proportions) to balace the Ph levels of the hair when needed.

Girl I'm so sorry but your hair is still very very damaged. A lot of your hair is dead to the point where it can not come back to being healthy. You need to have someone cut some dead ends off

You're so naturally beautiful! And this colour suits you so much. I tried bleaching, bad memories but I'm still addicted.

Don't know how I got here, but I love your hair! Leave it for a while, it's gorgeous.
