Salon Owner Reacts to Damaging Tiktok Advice 

Your answer would likely be genetics. Maybe she’s born with it maybe it’s….no man, she’s born with it. As he has said in multiple videos, most of these women are genetically blessed with great hair. They could do things we wouldn’t dream of and still have nice hair. Regarding the things you can do to have nicer or longer hair; he has multiple videos on the subject. The gist I’m getting from the videos is: 1. Use professional shampoo/conditioner. No more drugstore crap. He has a few he recommends in videos. 2. Wash your hair properly! This means only washing the scalp. This also means probably washing twice. 3. Apply a leave in conditioner and blow dry cream. 4. Heat style no more than every three days! Same goes for washing. The goal depending on your hair type is at the most every third day. 5. Wear a shower cap with a microfiber lining on your non wash days to save your hairstyle. The humidity in the shower will ruin it. Plastic caps do not save you from the humidity. 6. Where a sleep bonnet to protect your hair. I think that’s most of the tips. But there are a plethora of his videos explaining that. Unfortunately, I have not seen one video that lays it all out there. They usually have multiple call backs to other videos. It can also get repetitive because he will mix and match the info given depending on the video. But anyway, those were the things I could remember from the videos I’ve watched.

@@nenamichelle yeah, I do all that, and I agree that genetics has a lot to do with it. I'd also like to know about the different phases of hair growth. Understanding that about your hair from what I read can lend itself to more efficient and targeted growth process. My real issue is the rank misrepresentation of their hair. There's plenty of fun things that you can do with your hair for the traffic, these people don't have to bait-and-switch all the time

@@lesliewit I know that that woman actually have both instagram and tik tok that's mostly based around her hair. And I know she loooves that drugstore oil she showed and uses it alot! And she never cuts her hair. But also yeah, the good genetics, haha.

Take good care of your hair, and for maximum protection wear protective hairstyles. Don't cut them and they'll get as long as your growth speed and growth cycle lenght allow

Yeah i was a bit mad at the "frizzy" because WHERE haha

"these days" is an expression that's a red flag for me. Like in the past it was not as common as today to lie, right? I remember all the stupid fake diets ppl used to say worked wonders when I was young (20 years ago). "I lost 65 lb with the artichoke diet". Yea, sure honey! And it was like folk wisdom! Everyone knew about it. And before that, when my mother was young, the same happend. Or further in the past! Eat light coloured food while pregnant so your baby will have fair skin (racism much?), GMO causes cancer, date paste is better than sugar, natural means good...... ALL LIES. It has happend ALWAYS. People LIE. It's an easy way to get 5 min of attention. It's just easier now a days to spot the liers cause everything is more available: the lies and the knowledge. Do you know why do we have access to that knowledge so easily? Yeah, internet, like tiktok! Just be slightly sceptical, check everything you see, learn and develop some judgment. And don't say "these days", pls.

@@IsilwenTelemna that's a whole lot of rant for someone using 2 words tl;dr

I concur with your sentiment 100%♡ Australia.

​@@IsilwenTelemnaKinda a rant, but true. People tend to forget about the health fads of the 90s, or the literal uranium products of the early 1900s.

​@@IsilwenTelemna I wasn't gonna read your long response to OP, but I'm glad I did . u hit the 🎯!!!!

Yep! I do bangs only or bangs and just my part and it's perfect. *I think my bangs get oily faster because I'm constantly swiping them to the side so my hand oils add to it.

I've had bangs my entire life and I figured this out when I was in high school, I was like, why would I wash my entire hair after one or two days when I could just wash my bangs? It took me just a few extra minutes while getting ready in the morning but it was a whole game changer for me. I remember I met my friends at one of their houses one day and we just spontaneously decided to go out and I was like, let me wash my bangs real quick. They thought I was joking and that it was weird at first but then they also started doing it 😂

Key words: "while the rest are still clean", her hair was dirty af.

How about dry shampoo?

@@tthierryteresa2930 A lot of dry shampoos have been recalled due to whatever is put into them to make the shampoo come out. It's def safer to use regular shampoo on wet hair although more time-consuming

Right? TikTok is fantasy world. Not the real world 👍

all hair textures are beautiful 💜

her hair was perfect in the before. much more lively and then just dull in the after lol

Same here

I had a hairdresser tell me that my frizzy front and side pieces were just split ends, as she pointed to the new growth on the outermost layer that wasn't being weighed down like the rest of my hair...

Particularly the heat protectants - kenra is not widely available at all

Agreed (I'm in 🇮🇪 Ireland). So far I have managed to source all his recommendations, with some difficulties and lots of research, except for both heat iron protection recommendations, the Redken and the Kenra ones. I cannot source those at all. I'm currently alternating between using a Revlon hot iron protection spray and an Alfaparf heat protection spray the odd time I do use a hot iron. I will say, that it was worth the effort though. His recommendations have seriously transformed my hair and helped me actually enjoy caring for my hair again.

Yes the blowdryer they recommend is not available in germany :( but still love the two and the content

I agree! I really like the Sebastian brand. But what does the prof. think?

I live in Italy, the only product difficult to find is the leave in conditioner, but I use the Redken One United as suggested by him.

I know right if you don't have the time, or energy to wash all of your hair just hitting the oiliest/ dirtiest parts is better than nothing. Anything worth doing is also worth half assing as nessary.

yep, the reason why I had a big chop 2-3 years ago was because my entire hair was dry, frizzy and hard to touch, the damage basically traveled all the way up and only the bottom layer of my hair was nice, because that was the only one getting a trim, not the rest of my hair. Now since that chop I do the dusting thing that Chris doesn't recommend and my hair is now super soft to touch lol

I don't use any heat on my hair at all, and it's very, very long (45" last I measured around Christmas time) and I sometimes get splits all the way up near my jaw. Sometimes strands aren't as strong as others and they break, it's perfectly normal. It's really weird to me that two supposed experts in hair don't understand this lol.

@@mydogeatspuke just between you and me in case this gets deleted, chris kinds spreads misinformation. He claims that salon shampoos are the only ones that clean your hair compared to drugstore which is absolutely false. Surfactants, which are the cleaning agent, are the most cheap ingredients and you’ll find it even in 1£ shampoos. Sure it will leave your hair completely stripped of oils and not soft but it will get your hair squeaky clean so I don’t know why he keeps on saying this in every video, that drugstore shampoos won’t clean your hair, that’s not true at all.

Is that getting rid of split ends thing is really bad?😭😭I just did a month ago and now I’m dying reply please

@@Insecure_kiddo I regularly have done dusting for 2 years straight and my hair still managed to grow in length, it will not stop you from getting longer hair as long as you're getting rid just of the damaged ends. Don't worry, be patient and you'll get beautiful hair in no time :)

Also, there's a drought in my country, and I have long hair, so this is definitely a game changer.

Fr that one's for fighting the ✨depression✨ sir

I have long hair and I wash it almost every day. It doesn't take up time.

@@trance_angel_4965 okay trace, thank you for telling us about your perfect mental health, neurotypical brain and capable body. however for anyone else, it might take a lot of time because of physical restrictions or because it takes so much mental effort that you have to enthuse yourself every few seconds or because you have to plan out the fact that your hair will need at least 4 hours to dry so if you have certain plans after or you're showering at night you need to do it in time for that

@tomie i only have to wash my hair once every two weeks, but executive disfunction is a bitch and just because i want to wash my hair, doesn't mean i can

Ah... So frustrating :(

Oh they do this to me too 😭

I have the same thing, do your hair get thin from hair dusting though?

@Natalie Juarez- same here

@@Isabella-vx3bc so the best thing is just to let it be until it grows out? I don’t wanna chop it too much and have super short hair

@@Isabella-vx3bc no it’s definitely split ends. My hair dresser was surprised too. But she asked her colleagues and found out, that the regrowth during pregnancy can be very susceptible to split ends, the hair is weaker and splits right in the middle but doesn’t break off. I have very healthy virgin hair. But during pregnancy I got split ends on my regrowth, you can see the split in the ends, it’s not broken off. Shorter hair can have split ends. Otherwise people with short hair couldn’t get split ends but they definitely can. I actually never had split ends before or breakage for that matter. And if you have breakage, you cut it off. Why cut the hair short if only a mid section has problems? Maybe if it’s very bad and too much is affected. But we all have shorter strands anyways in our hair, so why not justiert the hair dresser precisely cut that off ? The goal would still be to cut the ends with problems, no matter if it’s breakage or split ends, getting rid of it with cutting will not make it worse. How? It’s gone, so the problem is gone. And then you treat your hair with good products, preventing the problems in the future. We cut my hair angled in the front, got rid of all the problematic hair and kept my length. Now I use K18 and my hair was never healthier.

@@nadine5123 no but it wasn’t a lot. It happened during pregnancy. My hairdresser cut the splits off , it took an gourmand then we gave me a nice angled curing the front and curtain bangs. Then she told me to try K 18, wich did wonders for my hair. It’s super healthy now.

Also, they don't understand that some people want to keep their long hair and cutting like that gets rid of the Velcro like effect.

Oh thank goodness!! I too have hair that goes past by butt. 3a/b curly and super dense. I was hoping to buy a satin bonnet but now I'll stick to a pillowcase instead. What do you do tho when your hair brushes against your bedsheet? Do you also use a satin bedsheet?

I love my silk pillow case but I definently need the extra protection of a bonnet even following the same routine the difference is night and day

I have not been able to give my stylist shock yet ... but I'm trying!

Just curious what type of hair you have?

@@Cattitude48 I have medium hair, with a lot of frizz and volume. Except now it’s quite sleek and glossy, thanks to the Hair Professor!

@Rorie Garrett lucky you. I have fine, thin hair and right now experiencing hair loss and hair fall. Working on improving it though. Glad to know his system works.

@@Cattitude48 it definitely works! Wishing you the best of luck with your hair!

Same here!! Now my fine blonde hair is not lifeless and dull! I was skeptical but truly impressed, can’t wait for a few months when I can see some more length happening.

Which shampoo and conditioner did you try?

@@Cattitude48 I bought Redkin Volume Inject shampoo and conditioner

@@aliciar5410 thanks

Gurl…. That’s not how hair works. I can’t believe people are falling for this guy’s bs 🤦‍♀️

Hey! Ive been using one for 3 months now and its a GAMECHANGER. Hair comes out still shiny not frizzy in the morning and no knots. I just ordered one from amazon and turned it inside out ( lots of cheap ones have silk on the outside but not on the inside) and sleep it in every night. When I dont my hair and extensions look horrible, plus my curls stay a lot longer

Hey Pedro! If you want long hair then yes this all works for men 👍 Short hair like mine doesn't need much product. But If yours is long enough to blow dry I would still leave in conditioner and the blow dry cream.

@@BlowoutProfessor I have mid length pompadour wich I blow dry, yes! I never knew if I should use same products as women with very long hair do. Thank you so much for the reply!

@@BlowoutProfessor Hey, Chris. I'd like to know your thoughts about the REDKEN line ACIDIC BONDING and the REDKEN ONE UNITED All-In-One Leave-In Conditioner. Also, can you recommend an option for the BOSTON shampoo and conditioner? I'm in Canada and we don't have it here. Thanks

Happy early birthday! 🎉

LOL
