Takeaways

• 😀 Conditioner doesn't solve dryness; the key is moisture retention, not just adding more products.
• 😀 Hair damage is caused by holes in the hair cuticle, leading to moisture loss.
• 😀 Oily hair is caused by buildup, and a simple, pure shampoo is essential for deep cleansing.
• 😀 Avoid shampoos with fancy ingredients that can leave buildup on your hair, making it oily faster.
• 😀 Emulsifying shampoo in your hands is ineffective; apply it directly to your scalp for better cleansing.
• 😀 Use your fingertips to scrub your scalp to break up the oil layer and ensure proper shampooing.
• 😀 Shampoo your hair twice to get rid of oil buildup, especially for difficult-to-clean areas like the back of your head.
• 😀 A good hair routine should consist of professional products, not drugstore 3-in-1 shampoos or conditioners.
• 😀 Dryness is best addressed with products that retain moisture inside the hair, not heavy external oils.
• 😀 A leave-in conditioner protects your hair by sealing moisture, but should be used lightly to avoid weighing your hair down.
• 😀 Hair oil should be used sparingly and only with high-quality oils to avoid buildup and ensure absorption into the hair.

Q & A

What is the main cause of oily roots and dry ends in hair?

The main cause is a lack of moisture retention in the hair. While hair can absorb moisture, damage from color, heat, and wear creates holes in the cuticle, leading to moisture leakage, which causes dry ends. Oily roots are caused by overproduction of oil by the scalp.

Why doesn't conditioner solve dryness in hair?

Conditioner doesn't solve dryness because it only addresses the outer layer of the hair. Moisture retention is key, and conditioner alone can't prevent moisture from leaking out of damaged hair cuticles.

What is a 'shampoo soulmate'?

A shampoo soulmate is a shampoo that perfectly matches your hair type. It cleanses your hair without leaving buildup behind, allowing the hair to stay clean longer without making it oily or weighed down.

Why should you avoid shampoos with fancy ingredients like those in many commercial brands?

Commercial shampoos often contain extra ingredients that claim to repair or enhance hair, but these ingredients can leave residue on the hair. This residue can weigh hair down and cause it to get oily faster.

What is the correct way to apply shampoo to get your hair clean?

Shampoo should be applied directly to the scalp, not just the hair. You need to emulsify the shampoo in your hands to avoid excessive lather and then press it into the scalp. Massaging it properly ensures the oil and buildup are removed effectively.

What is the mistake with emulsifying shampoo in your hands before applying it?

Emulsifying shampoo in your hands before application causes it to lather up too much, making it harder to apply to the scalp where the oil is produced. Proper application involves directly applying the shampoo to the scalp and working it in with your fingertips.

Why do you need to wash your hair twice with shampoo?

Washing your hair twice ensures that the oil and buildup are completely removed. One wash is like trying to clean a pan with grease on it; it's not effective unless you thoroughly clean it.

What mistake do people make when trying to moisturize their dry hair?

The mistake is using heavy moisturizing products, which add weight and buildup to the hair. Instead, moisture should be added inside the hair structure, not just on the surface.

How do you properly add moisture to your hair without making it greasy?

To properly moisturize, you need to use two products: leave-in conditioner and high-quality oil. The leave-in conditioner creates a lightweight barrier to lock moisture in, and hair oil penetrates the hair to hydrate the inner strands.

What are the key products in the 'Trinity routine' for healthy hair?

The Trinity routine involves three main products: shampoo soulmate, leave-in conditioner, and high-quality hair oil. These products work together to clean, protect, and hydrate the hair, keeping it healthy and balanced.
