Reacting to Viral Tiktok Hair Hacks 

I'm shocked that you said the heatless curls don't last and fall out easier than any other method of curling your hair. My hair has never held a curl in my entire life no matter what product I use what tool I used my hair would fall flat the second I walked out my door and the air touched it. But heatless curls stay in my hair for days until I wash it again. Heatless curls are literally a dream come true for this girl!

Heartless curls actually work better for me. My heat curls fall out. But I do this overnight with a soft-holding curl balm in them when they are ever so slightly damp. My hair is mid-thigh length and is wavy but I usually just make it straight. This is the only way I get good curls haha. I can get the style to stay all day (they do loosen up slightly over the day) but I can spray it with a little rosewater, reset it in the curlers overnight, wrap in silk and refresh the style for about 3 days before I need to wash out the curl balm I use. I must emphasis it’s a soft holding product so the hair still feels nice, but it’s enough somehow.

Heatless bathrobe belt curls hold so much better in my case than regular curls from heat tools. It took some time experimenting with right products and order of doing things but now I have figured it out. In the beginning they would drop pretty quickly, now they can easily survive wind, humidity outside and in my workplace and sleeping at night with satin hair bonnet. I usually redo them every other night, it takes like 4 minutes to do. First I put some curl activating gel in my hair and then lightly mist it with water. In the morning medium hold hairspray and then I brush them out. It was lifechanging.

I feel that the professor is really honest, he makes statements that are hard trues. Im following him after this

Finding this channel has CHANGED my hair game! Thanks to Chris and this channel I finally found my shampoo soul mate . I used to have greasy hair the day after a wash im now onto day 3 and my hair still looks AMAZING and is so easy to freshen up each day! This channel is so so soo great. THANK YOU and your team for sharing helpful genuine guidance!!❤❤❤

I recently started following your advice about using a heat protectant for frizz even though I let my long, thick hair air dry. I then use my curling iron and my style stays put. Wash in the evening and curling iron in the morning. I also use Context dry shampoo on my roots when it's clean. Just started the morrocon oil on my ends. I can go 4 to 5 days between cleansing, which is a blessing for us thick haired girls. I love your channel.

Chris, I am loving all your videos! I’d love to see a video talking about how to take care of your hair at night so you don’t lose all your curls when you sleep on your hair! Thanks for all the lessons, I’m learning so much!

My heatless curls usually last a day or two, but if the weather is humid and windy, they disappear in a second lol. So a lot depends on the environment in my case. Thank you for the video! Very interesting! 🙏❤️

I have naturally 3B to 3C curly hair, and I absolutely thank my parents for giving me great curly hair. ♥♥♥ 100% au natural and no heatless curls required!!!

I have never had such well-groomed and healthy hair, but since I followed you and followed your advice, my hair is perfectly cared for. So I want to thank you, Leslie, and your dedicated staff. Warm greetings from Germany

My waist-length hair takes curl well, but rolling it damp after wash and leave in last for days. So much better than heat. Heat lasts maybe 2 days.

Your holy trinity advice was the single best hair advice that finally changed my hair

I love Lily (the second girl) and she actually showed her old hair and it was dead and thin. She has shown what she used to get it to that state and she said it took her 1.5yr to transform it. Rosemary was one of the things she used to grown out that’s why now it’s thick. ❤

I bought the redken shampoo that you recommend, the volume injection one, and its leaving my hair really dry feeling. Its very good at getting my hair nice and clean but I feel like its incredibly drying. I still follow it up with my olaplaex no6 and no7 and I've added in a leave in conditioner as you recommend, but its so dry now. Im not convinced by the "Drug store shampoos are not as good as salon shampoos" line!

There is some good advice out there on social. I've started to use aloe vera gel, fresh from plants on my scalp, and an oil mix mask before washing hair. My hair improved a lot. it's just very hard to find some substantial advice like the correct oil mixture. Some people with straight caucasian hair surely damaged their hair with pure coconut or pure castor oil (in case you're wondering: you need to mix castor oil with some basis oils like jojoba, almond).

I have hair loss from grief, Covid and medications, it is naturally fine and curly, and I have added moisturizers and oils, and the list goes on. Since I found your channel I am hoping that when I start my hair care journey this year I can go back to simple and get my healthy hair back.

Can you do a video on sectioning hair correctly for blow drying. I'm terrible at blow drying my hair but it's in really good condition since I switched to your trinity method

Chris.. wow, I just found your channel and find all your info super helpful.. I've even started using your recommended techniques just today. One thing I don't see alot of is SHORT HAIR... you know not all women have or want long beach wave hair... I've viewed ALOT of your videos, and I didn't see one short hair example. Please speak to these ladies in 2023! I live in Texas, which has very similar weather as Florida... I really enjoy anti-frizz demos and info... thanks for your consideration

Heatless curls are the only curls that hold for me. They never hold with other methods such as curling iron

Another problem with that first heatless curls method is that it often looks weird from behind because it stays flat. Also on a totally unrelated note, it's possible to have good genetics when it comes to your hair, but the same cannot be said about being skinny. No one is able to break the laws of thermodynamics, and no skinny person can eat whatever they want without gaining weight (it only looks like they eat a lot). Similarly, if you are obese you shouldn't blame your bad genetics. Even if some people CAN have a faster metabolism your weight is in majority the result of your lifestyle. Just thought I'd put it there, since there are a lot of people spreading misinformation about weight loss these days.

the question is whether the heatless curls were created starting with damp hair or dry AND whether someone's hair has a natural wave. For people with straight hair, heatless curls MUST start with wet hair. Plan on like 24 hours for it to dry. I did this in high school before my hair turned wavy. The curl then stayed about 4 to 6 hours before falling. If you have wavy hair, you may just need a little oil or dampness and the heatless curl will take in about 4 hours and stay all day. So for me, if I lightly oil my hair, an overnight loose high bun on my head, with hair pins, not a scrunchy that would cause a crease, will keep my hair looking like I had a blowout all day - volume and bouncy curl. Put in braids? The crimp stays for DAYS. My hair is a very fine but medium density 2a and it holds a heatless curl like a charm but fights heat curls. So heatless curls CAN work - you just have to have the right hair. It's the best approach for us wavies.

heartless curls stay sooooo much better for me than heat-styled curls!

I love your channel and honesty. Thank you!

Happy New Year dear Chris!! I've been following your advice, and it was a struggle at first as I I have salt and pepper, frizzy wavy/curly hair. Following your advice I have seen a major change ,i will definitely continue and perhaps 2023, will be a better hair year for me!!! Thank you so much!!

I have waist-length, fine, straight hair that I never brush until it's completely dry, because not only it falls down in the shower, but it breaks a lot when I brush it when it's still wet. I only use a wide-teeth comb and never a brush, because I'm afraid of how much hair will be left on the brush afterwards. My hair is healthy, at least I think it is, because it's very shiny and soft to the touch, but it tends to get frizzy, especially after I wash it. I usually leave it to air-dry, but now in the colder months I use a blow dryer it and my hair gets wild. After watching some of the videos about essential hair-care products, I'm planning of purchasing some of the recommended products, even though they're quite pricy in my country, but, fingers crossed, I hope they'll turn out to be a great investment.

My long, fine, easily tangled hair won't hold heated curls, only cold wet ones that dry that way..

Thank you for your videos, you made 2022 the year of beautiful hair ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

Could you please make a video on hair loss (I lost an alarming amount after having my baby + covid). I have 4-5 inches of regrowth, but I recently did a huge chop of 10+ inches because my length was so thin. A video on dos and don'ts (how to style, vitamins, products, etc) would be *so* helpful. Lots of love 💗 -Klarissa

I love heartless curls for me they last way longer than a normal heated curl for me they fall out right away but heartless last me up to 3 days there the best

Thank you Chris for keeping it real. Happy new year!

I’m so glad I found this channel. Thank you for the excellent videos!

The algorithm started adding these videos to my suggestion list today. I've watched a couple and now I'm having a hair meltdown. I have very fine and very thin hair. Ponytails are done with infant supplies, not exagerated. The thought of not washing my hair daily is impossible to imagine. Its so bad that I will wash my hair a second time on date nights. I use a flat iron to add lift to my bangs, after allowing it all to air dry. There are zero products in my arsenal. Leave in conditioner hasn't been in my hair in over 30 years. I reverse wash, because conditioner makes my hair look unwashed. I've been doing every single thing wrong. I'm betting if I watch his brush video, I use the worst of those too. Shave it and buy a wig. Lol

When I was a child, my mom would twist my wet hair as well as my sister's wet hair onto a couple of clean socks at night and in the morning, she would take them out and mess with them until they were how she liked then put clips or things in our hair. My hair would stay curled for a bit longer than my sister hair, but it worked for the whole day.

Hey Chris, your videos have been so helpful! Would you do one on how you section up hair for heat styling? Thanks!

Plzzz do more videos like this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 we all need your guidance 🙏🏼

do you have any recommendations for a 60+ woman with grey hair & hair loss/thinning? (especially for spongey look or frizz/fly aways)

I have fine medium lob hair. I have bought and used all your recommendations for my hair type. Love them!!!! Do you have any recommendations for something to give me some volume at the roots?

I agree, rosemary works for hair growth, I’ve always had a LOT of hair, beautiful if I may say so, menopause hit and my hair is falling out. I don’t have time nor discipline to be applying it. I’m having AAPE injections, they hurt like hell, are expensive but they WORK and many people have asked me if I have extensions. LOL! The product graveyard!

Amazing video as always❤

Surely a styling aid can have the curls last longer?

Brushing your hair wet IS bad????? (Sometimes) If you have curly, kinky, or coily hair you should brush your hair wet because the chance of you breaking your hair is significantly reduced then if you were to brush it dry. The opposite goes for wavy and straight hair. Brushing your hair wet is horrible for your hair when done more then once or twice, because like with curly, kinky, or coily hair, when your hair is wet the chance of you breaking your hair right off is increased. This information is literally in the book, “Chemical and Physical Behavior of Human Hair” by: Clarence R. Robbins. This is a book that Trichologist (Hair and Scalp Professionals) and Dermatologists (Hair, Skin, and Nails Doctor’s) use when taking courses for their degrees. If you want more info on how to actually take care of your hair and keep it healthy. I suggest checking out Sarah Ingles RU-vid channel. She gives hair advice that is actually backed up by science and not blogs and hairdressers trying to get you to buy nothing but styling products and promote split ends😑 I always recommend watching Sarah Ingles videos because she helped me grow my hair sooooo much. I even showed her channel to a barber friend of mine who said that she was impressed by her understanding of hair and that even SHE learned something from her videos despite being a hair expert herself.

I love your videos! Could you make a video on how to properly apply conditioner

My hair ONLY hold a curl when I do heatless curls. My curls fall out within minutes with heat.

My naturally wavy/curly hair HOLDS curls, but not always in a good way 🤣 For that TikTok popular heatless method, the hair tightest around that wrap would be Shirley Temple looking but the outer hair around it would be looser. So the results would be back and underside insane curls, top loose. I’d look a total mess 🤣

i use heat everyday on my hair. i have frizzy wavy curly hair and i straighten it

can you recommend any leave in conditioners other than the Pureology? They are not being sold in Europe.

Can you do a routine/ product recs for people who have "dirtier" jobs? I'm a vet student soon to be veterinarian and sometimes it gets gross and I HAVE to wash my hair daily.

Sir..does leaving hair open cause more damage....hairstyles for daily use..how should we keep medium hair good always..coz can't even tie them daily..I m just confused about my hair..tied or open???

I love your videos. I always knew I had fine hair but for some reason wouldn't buy products for fine hair. I always bought products for smoothing frizz which ALWAYS weighed my hair down. I've been obsessed with products ..but the word "fine hair" scared me. Like no...my hair isn't fine... in denial lol... Anyways...thanks for your help in simplifying things.

What Shampoo would you recommend for dry hair thats medium coarse?

Ok Uhm I couldn't hold an iron curl to save my life (tried different products, different levels of greasiness, different levels of smoothness, different barrel sizes, different techniques, different heat setting) but heatless curls last me a few days

How do u feel about veganic hair growth ???

Thoughts on its a 10 leave in, I have a boatload left and don’t want to send it to the graveyard if its ok to use until I get the redkin leave in!

I've been following your recommendations for several months now. Great results. I am, however, getting some breakage around my part line. I sleep with my hair up, but not pulled back too tight. I wash every 3-5 days, use a leave-in conditioner and heat protectant. Any things to consider?

You are a godsend. THANK YOU!

Hi Chris @BlowoutProfessor what’s the Best shine spray? Also, is “dusting” the hair important to getting it healthier?

Any recommendations for dandruff shampoos? Thanks 😊

Would you suggest using Olaplex 3 or stay away? I found Facebook group where people complain about hair damage after using Olaplex products.

Can you give me feedback on mile hair oil

Thank you very much for this video. I'm starting to see another trend involving Rice shampoo and conditioner bars. They are being promoted to grow long, healthy hair. May I please ask your thoughts on this new trend? Does rice water and/or rice conditioner actually promote long, healthy hair? Thanks in advance!

Good info as usual.

it is one or the other it is either that this guy makes sense or I'm stupid lol I've been watching your videos a lot since I came across your channel and I'm contemplating changing my products and routine because of course I'm not happy with my hair but it took me 3 years to transition from stop coloring my hair and going cold turkey growing my grey... I've never looked back and I've never felt better about my hair but I'm team natural products so I haven't convinced myself yet to use the products you recommend. Really not sure if I can do it. Maybe I'll try it for a while and see what happens because I'm definitely not genetically blessed with amazing hair : (

I like your videos but that first tick tock video you talked about kinda dissed that girl. For one heatless wrap curls especially this method actually hold up a lot better than a curling iron if she left it on overnight. Also I've gone to get coffee with my hair wrapped up like this and prob what she just got done doing. It's not always for the video sometimes it's just convenient to use that car mirror. Especially when this curl method always leaving the same low maintenance style of not needing to touch it up. Heatless curls rock especially with that rope tie method. Maybe try it before you diss it lol not everyone wants to use a curling iron on their locks. Love ur vids hun 😘 hope my two cents isn't taken the wrong way. I'm just speaking as someone that has has pin straight hard to curl hair that heatless curls really work and really hold up.

I love you man 😂😂😂❤❤

how can i protect my blowout from the humidity

Heya! Love your videos and I do follow your instructions… However, can you make video for some one with extension? Much love

Heatless curls actually should hold longer and stronger, when you wrap wet/damp hair with the right product. The way I learned it was the physical bonds are broken down/softened when wet, then rehardened in the shape of the "roller" when dry. Hot curls are always softer and more prone to falling out. Think about "vintage" hair that was washed and "set", on rollers once a week.

I am 99% sure that the reason that she is taking them out in her car is not because they won't last but because the brands that are paying for this sponsorship asked her to do that to show the audience how flexible this is to use. I am a hair influencer and cordless hot tool brands ALWAYS ask me to do this in the specifications of the sponsorship. It's literally written into the contract to use the tool in your car to show people how "easy it is to use". It is actually so annoying...lol. Needless to say, as I have gained a bigger audience, I no longer accept anything that feels inauthentic like that. It is so gimmicky.

Adding on to the comments about heatless curls holding longer! I have hair that is naturally a bit wavy, but sometimes I like to get a bit more curl out of it. Whenever I curl my hair using heat, it actually comes out *straighter* than it naturally is, whether I do it myself or go to a salon. I hate it. But heatless curls stay in my hair nice and long as long as I put my hair into the curlers damp.

Honestly, I binge watched all your videos the last days and I cannot believe how useful all your recommendations are! You are skilled, charismatic, honest, funny and you help us a lot! I had a hair disaster after several bleaches on my black box dyed hair, I had to chop it off and now I am growing it back, healthy and beautiful, eith your advice! I don’t understand how I slept on volumising shampoos when I always knew I had fine hair and I put so many products that made it unbearable to stay a day without wash. Also, it “didn’t grow” past a length, and now I know that it did grow, which was obvious but it didn’t keep its lenght. Thank you, honestly, you help a lot of peope! Happy new year and all the best for you!

Your videos have changed my hair. I now understand what I need to do to have nice hair. It took me 51 years but thanks to you, I have got there xxx

Just want to say thank you so much for your great advices, since I discovered your channel, i’ve changed my products and my routine and my hair never looked so good !! Thanks again and best wishes for 2023 ❤️

Love this video especially checking out the rosemary hair 3 months prior - shocking it was amazing before! So many influencers do this and not just with hair, but skin care, makeup, clothing - claiming it totally transformed their routine / life. Heard it all before - so nice that someone (you!) is out here being honest!!! Thank you 💖!

Thank you Chris for all your advice, I’ve adapted my hair routine to what you have been teaching and it works out great! Thank you for debunking these tiktok videos, but I disagree on the heartless curls one. If I don’t wet my hair with water before putting them in, then you’re right, the curls don’t last long. But, if I spray my hair with a little water beforehand, the curls actually last TOO well. Like I’ll brush the hair out 20 times and apply no hairspray, and it will take the whole day for the curls to fall out a little (I prefer the looser beach waves over tight curls). And, it makes sense with what you previously taught -“hair wants to stay in the shape that it dries in”- so if you spray your dry hair with water first, and then let the hair dry overnight in the curls, it will last.

I'm shaking my hair at you because I started following all your advice and my hair is now so much healthier! Thank you Chris!!!!!!!

I think heatless curls DO hold well, but only on wet hair that is set, with the curlers or fabric used is taken out when the hair is completely dry. I don't like them so much because my hair gets frizzy & stringy unless I heat dry it, but my hair has never held curls like going to sleep with damp hair in curlers.

Thank You, Thank You , Blowout Professor . My hair looks like a million bucks !!!! It moves, it’s shiny and I get compliments everyday. My hair WAS dying and falling apart. I stop going to the salon just to get a handle on the problem. Then followed your advice. 6 months later. All I can say is wow. I have Celebrity hair. Long, luscious and shiny. Thank You Professor

I’m liking this and commenting before watching the full video because he said Tik tacs! I never comment and very rarely like RU-vid videos but what a fucking icon! Lol 🙌

Just to be clear - I've been watching quite a few of these videos because despite historically having having long hair my hair has always been super fine, greasy and flyaway. Of course I have been attracted by these videos for tips on how to best care for another grow out after insisting my husband chopped mine off into a bob to give my hair a break and total reset. Thanks to watching these videos it led me to the Blowout Professor! I am happy to report that I have essentially ditched the hairdryer (I was always quite handy at blowdrying...) shampoo less frequently and just use a loose updo when it gets greasy. Yes I have tried rice water and rosemary oil - do they work? probably not! lol BUT what I am doing is taking greater care of my hair so damage is limited. At 64 the dusty grey roots show it is still growing. In 8 months my hair is now 15 inches from the crown. If I'd done none of this it would still be 15 inches. But thanks to advice from the Blowout Professor I would say my hair is in the best condition I've known it to be! Thank you :)

The blonde chick is not only genetically gifted with good hair, but also has it blow dried (probably by a pro) plus some obvious filters and lighting so... Also, rice water for hair good or bad? Thx

Yes! The more I've thought about the "don't brush your hair wet if straight" advice the more I realised it doesn't make sense for the exact reason stated in the video - how do you blowdry and style correctly on already dry hair 🤔 (Ofc being curly, dry brushing is already a no-go for me😁)

So I took your hair quiz and bought all the recommended products, doing exactly what and how you say and I have not noticed any difference. What gives?

I started using the leave in Conditioner you suggested, with an oil on the ends and my Kerastase blow-dry cream, my hairs never gotten so frizz free out of the salon.

You're the ONLY honest hair YT around! Thank you; I've been using the recommendations from your video. After decades, my hair is the best it's ever looked

Sleeping in a high tension heatless curls process over night regularly seems like a recipie for lost edgrs and tension alopecia

Should the woman use heat protectant when styling the front of her hair?

Chris, do you want to date? I wont even ask you to do my hair

Honestly i did these heatless curls and my issue was that my hair was TOO curly and they refused to fall out even by the second day, i have just past shoulder length hair and while it worked, im afraid to try them again because it worked TOO well

everyyy time i do heatless curls, it’s beautiful when i first take it out. soon as i step outside it’s wonky & frizzy & flat af from staying pressed to my head all night. my natural curls like 100x better lol

Thank you for busting those videos. I have been using your suggested products for my hair type and it feels and smells amazing. Only two weeks in and I am very happy. Thank you.

Can you please do a video on Sulfates and Silicones in shampoo and conditioner? I keep seeing conflicting information about it.

I'm curios of what you think about oiling your hair and scalp?

Can you make a video for those of us who have naturally wavy/curly hair and don't want to blow dry our curls straight? What would be some good products to use and how would we go about blow drying our hair? Thank you!

Ok.. I love your honesty 💪🇫🇮 btw.. i have second bottles of shampoo and conditioner going from redken those pink bottles 😄 you know... and I love those!

Viral hair hacks on TikTok

Can you add a fragrance free section to your recommended list. I have been using your recommended products but fragrance is a big problem. I have been powering on but I'm going to have to discontinue. People who don't have a sensitivity to fragrance don't really understand. It makes me physically ill. 😕

Love your videos! I would love to see a video on silicone and product buildup and your thoughts on that because there’s a lot of misinformation.

Thank you for your videos and honesty! I loved them. My question is: for the 4 days between washing do you count the day of wash or start the next day?

What haircut would you suggest for someone looking to grow their hair long, but who has fine hair? Long layers or blunt cut ? Thanks for another great video!

I love you blowout professor, you’re a rock star.. I’m too old to be influenced by influencers but I love your honest advice for the younger generation.
