I'Ve done a lot of like tutorials or videos where I mentioned, you know use this for your hair or you know, apply this. So I've been getting a lot of questions and asking that I've mentioned products, but in describe or explain how I put product on, and I realized that that is pretty a pretty crucial part of the product. So I'll just make a quick little tutorial or video on explaining how to use this product. So what I've said before the cure stuffs elixir in the gold is my absolute favorite and there's a lot of oil products that are great for the hair and leave you shiny, glossy, perfect, hair or frizz free hair. The only I guess problem with those is that it's kind of a quick fix and it works only on the outside the thing with the Kerastase elixir is that it works from the inside out. I think so I mean not. I think that has been proven good. So what it's doing is the second you apply it to the hair. It'S actually penetrating deep enough to fix and fill the broken parts of the inside of the hair, which is damaged, leaving you with long-term use leaves you with actual better hair than you had before. So, as you wash off the product, you are each time improving her a little by little as opposed to just a product that says on the hair and does its job. Second, you wash it off. Your hair goes back to its frizzy, normal state. The challenge I think with getting this product on right is that people will and I've noticed this a lot in the salon when people you know ask for a recommendation on product and I'm like. Oh here you go, and I you know let them like pump and kind of feel it on their hands and they'll have like a pea-sized amount on these three fingers and they rub it and they like grab an end and they just apply and especially on blonds. It just looks darker, or they put so much in such a small, concentrated area, and you know they'll be like oh, it's really heavy and or they'll ask like how did you apply it to make it not so like only in one area? So the number one thing are my favorite way to apply this product is when the hair is damp like straight at a shower and you towel dry and you pump a few. You know pumps on your hand, and you just like rub it together and the heat of your hands kind of activate the the product. More so rub it in like all over, like palms and everything and flip your hair or your head upside down and start working from the ponytail down to the ends and then slowly working your way up so kind of you know grabbing it at the ends and Slowly, working way up, as you have less and less product on your hand, then you kind of come up, because hair can still be damaged closer to the root, especially if your highlighting and lightening your hair. Obviously there is damage up here, but you don't want to get a lot of product up here because that's where the hair is the newest, so it's not as damaged and you don't want to wait down and get rid of volume with adding oil. So so that's what I like to do concentrating on the ends and slowly working your way up. So by the time you do get to the top. You have a lot less product on your hand. So so that's what I like to do, then I like to do a blowout or use any other product that you need either for volume or whatever so blow out. The hair then do the same thing, but it with a much smaller pump and again rubbing it. All over at their hands and this time, instead of grabbing the hair and applying it kind of like this, you kind of like rub it through your fingers. So your fingers work has come and you kind of just could comb through and so that you kind of get sides of the hair with the product and not necessarily just patting it down. So that's my little trick, and that is how I like to apply. Elixirs and just oils, I see this a lot, people that do have frizzy or thicker hair, and they want to remove some of that bulk, like I'll, just see the pylon product and they just kind of like Pat it down and that's not because then it's just A surface that's really flat because you'll see that there's ball turn up, then it doesn't give that hair hair, that movement and and shine that a healthy hair has it just kind of looks stiff, because it's not moving, because that outer shell is so just hydrated and Kind of saturated with the product, but under it's still kind of still frizzy, so with a little trick before, is the shampoo and then that doing that combing through you're kind of working on the sides of the hair. So all of its kind of coming more together and but you know the surface that you see still is kind of scattered and not necessarily just Pat it down so so yeah. So that is how I like to use elixirs and there's other great ones to Moroccan oil is a big favorite right now and anything with Moroccan oil in it. The new thing now is anything with argan. Oil is great for hair, so that's another big favorite, so whatever your favorite is, you can just apply it that same way. So I hope that helped. You have beautiful, shiny hair with any lecture that with any elixir that you're using so anyway, thanks for watching to subscribe and give a thumbs up. If this helped, you alright see the next video bye. You

Narbi Claire: What are these criticizing unhappy people even doing here?! You are AMAZING and informative and I've learned more from your videos in the past few days than I've learned in my life!! I'm so thankful that you shared your obvious talent! I am going to have a lot of fun trying it all out in the next few days. I'm sorry for any of the negativity you receive on any of your videos. It's sad that some people have to be so nasty
cher717: Hi Silvia, I've watched a lot of your videos recently and I am in love with your cut and style. I'm just wondering if you could make a video on your cut and style explaining what to ask for when at the salon and also on how to blow dry/style it like it is in the video? I'm really enjoying your videos :) xx
Michele Entsminger: Your videos are so informative. I am newly blonde and trying to figure out toning and care and I love your toning video but would you be able to do a hair care/products type video? Thanks for the great videos, I look forward to more!
Fallon Leeth: You don't seem nervous to me. You're just not loud and in everyone's face (thank you)! I love, love your videos and always look forward to the next one. I really have learned a lot and appreciate all the tips and demonstrations!
Kristine Anderson: I put the Moroccan or Argon oil in my palm, add hair creme and favorite essential oil. Mix in my hand, flip upside down, then apply. Then flip back up and finger it through -- never comb or brush, but my hair styles on its own from wet to dry. Smells great, shiny and healthy.
LaurenKrys: I love the fact that you're so shy and that you look away from the camera! I think it makes you seem more laid back than some youtubers and makes you look like you're actually focused on what you're talking about :) loved this video!!!
Chloe Gould: Just used the tip about combing it through with your fingers. I can now see where I was going wrong. It worked a treat. Thanks x
kayab9: Great tips! What do you recommend for hair that has been bleached? any leave in treatment for making it less dry? Thank you!
summers breeze: Thank you for introducing this product to me... I have natural curly sometimes its frizzy hair and it has grays too .. I color and highlight my hair so you can imagine the stress on it.. I had close to an inch cut off this last time at the hairdresser and still had dry ends ... after I saw this video I went to a nearby spa that sells this product and got me a bottle along with some Keratase samples ... I love this stuff my hair feels so amazing.. I like the Oleo mask when I use that my hair feels like butter .and I also like Ciment Thermique is amazing... thank you again for introducing me to this product and the product line.. I had about given up on having nice soft strong hair...
skylilly1: Great tips! I always want to lather my hair in everything....but It sounds like I've been overdoing it!
SomeGirlMel: Hi Silvia :) Thanks for the tips! I always overload and think more is more. Do you have any tips on how to air dry hair? My Whenever I try its always a frizzy mess with little to no definition (curly in front and wavy to no wave in back.) Any tips would be appreciated!
Monique Gebeline: I mix my oils with my style cream and apply on soaking wet hair. I comb in with fingers midshaft to tips and twist hair so it gets absorbed. Then lightly finger comb what product is left through the top. I don't towel dry I just wrap towel until most of water is absorbed. Hope this helps!
TheCezu: Miss ''Bangs'' thank you very much for the helful tips. I am in love with the Kérastase Elixir Oil! I have long hair and it is hard and time consuming to keep it fresh and silky but this product does the job beautifully . Honestly my hair never looked better and it doesn't take me that long to style it after each wash. Love it!
ellebangs: I love how sweet and nice and open minded you are! :) Thanks for watching
Em G: Not sure, but I think you are a mind reader. You just have a video for every question that ever popped up to my head. You're incredible, thank you so much!
ellebangs: aw thanks sweetie! I am SURE you will be! Congrats on being almost done!
Angela: She doesn’t sound fake she just sounds calm which is nice compared to some other youtubers that are loud and obnoxious

saucymauve: I like the oil elixir from Herbal Essense..I have thick hair so I just squeeze maybe 2-3 pumps and put it through my towel dry hair and then blow dry and then use what ever else you like to do to your hair.And this is a drugstore product and can get it at walmart I assume.
loganavenue1: Good stuff. Keep those videos coming. You've got excellent tips and advice. Because you are a PROFESSIONAL, which is lacking on you tube. Thanks from a Canadian fan!
Pernille Vagtborg: Hi Silvia :) i have a question. I have bleached my hair and now I look super pale. Is there something I can do to the color so it is not sooo bad?
MissMonicaLucky: I LOVE all your videos!!! Keep it up! xoo

TheJaimeLong: Sylvia I really need your help! I have been trying to go blonde very slowly from about medium Dark brown. Well my hair has been super soft and fine except the other day I did an avocado mask with coconut & olive oil. Now my hair is Sooo dry. Its like straw! Help what do I do? I guess some people have this same problem with avocado. But ugh my hair is just below my shoulders. BTW LOVE your videos! Much live from Tucson, Az
mandahoney0719: I really like the new set up Sylvia. And like the comment before, I felt like I was getting advice from a close freind. Thanks for taking the time to do these vids... They've been very helpful! As always, you look fabulous! Have a great week!

ingrid: Hi Sylvia! Do you have your hair highlighted with foils or overall color it? It looks very nice in this video. It's always hard to find how to achieve the perfect blonde color. I'm pure Swedish, so blonde as a child, and darkening with age. Think I've tried every hair color out there......I love San Francisco....you're so lucky to live there. Keep vlogging~~~

NEVER do that !! NEVER again (i had to cut them almost ear long noow they are getting shoulders) they were almost long as yours & your hair are beautiful by the way!! Oh!! were you shy on this video or something was catching your attention outside xoxo Thanks for your great advises Take care
Teresa Gould: Let’s sort this argument out. She is being natural and herself. We can’t all be happy and enthusiastic all the time. This is her real self and it’s an early video so she might be a little self conscious. But really this is her real normal self. Xxxx enough said
Sabrina Botelho: And how to mix them. I want to give myself highlights but I want to use a good brand of hair dye (like redken) rather than drug store box dye. Thanks
ilovecupcakes36: Where did you get that shirt?! Love it!
Claudia T: Do they sell at ulta
Stella Marie: I agree you were looking out the window a lot, but I know it's nervousness and shyness because I would be the same way. You are too adorable though :) and I enjoy your videos everytime!
ellebangs: I have both all over color and full highlights. Im sure your hair beautiful! If you are ever in san francisco, you must come say hello. ;)
Claudia T: Do u only blow dry ? Not flat iron. ?
secretliciouz: I feel it's more laid-back, like a friend talking to you. If she looked directly at the camera ALL the time, it'll feel like an infomercial.
Mimansa Khushi: What if I used this oil over my scalp??
Jesenia Foster: Is it Loreal?
M P: Have u edited out your ummms love your videos.xx
Jazz H: what do you think about the Josie Maran argan oil
L. S.: I am ambivalent with other reviews. Some say its not worth the amount u pay for it. Not sure if i will buy.
LunarRainbow: Why do some mod your videos u sound like this? Bored monotone and in your other videos your so happy and smiley ?!?!!! Am I the only one who noticed
antichrist pug: How often should I apply argan oil as a hair mask per week
Teresa Gould: Are we not allowed to relax, have coffee and casually chat ? Xxx
Maggie Mae: You are soooo..... Beautiful. I love all you video ;)

Amanda Vresk: I cant find the kerastase oil you are referring to? They have so many? Can you do an updated video on this? Or post a link please!
ellebangs: i would never... well.. maybe 1 or 2.. or 5
Black Rainbow: What's Moroccan oil? It's Argan oil no?
Jesenia Foster: Do u have instagram?
Joanne Harris: Did someone force you to make this...? That was the worst thing I’ve watched for a long time..made me feel really uncomfortable, like someone was behind the camera forcing her....but at the same to I felt like in her brain she was saying....”likeeeeeee I need a almond flat whiteeeeee with sugerrrrrrrr freeeee syrup” anddddd illl take a vegan no fat brownieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and ummmmmmm oh I forgot....ok that’s allllll”
40’s & Loving It: JadeofArc, she is shy. She notes this in a past video.
Aimee Redwine: Just curious. Is your name Elle or Sylvia?
Sasha Nicholle: Shes not really engaging with us just kind of bored with it
Laura LeCompte: Comment below u may have karma ... Ohh the karma ~ as 4 the video awesome u keep doing what u do ~*
Ilene Joy: Then stop watching!!!!
Andy Christiansen: please explain the mechanism of kerastase working from the inside out? How does the product go inside your hair and works towards outer layers? Listen to yourself. You just repeat the manufacturers slogans without thinking logically and you make yourself sound dumb. Seriously I understand it is sponsored video but consider your own image while doing things like this. You just assume your viewers are idiots by feeding them such bullshit ?
Fatemeh Heidari: I think ،
Alkasr Alkasr: shakira
Terry F: Were high in this video?
