Oh, my God, I'm trapped in this pink box. Again, someone help me. Oh my God, I'm just kidding welcome back to Beauty School. This is Hair School part. Three, we're talking All About Hair, welcome class, get a drink of water! Ask for a hall pass! If you need to use the restroom and don't make me ask again: okay, Miss Vanessa's, not in a good mood. Okay, you should watch part one and two of hair school just to catch yourself up. This is kind of like an advanced like 301 class and if you want to watch 101 and 201 get ready for college, because that is how it works. You all submit these questions on Instagram and we love that we love sourcing, your questions, we love it when you ask us stuff. I also have this like really great, like green bathrobe, terry cloth dress on today. That is really cinched. My tiny body and I love the way it looks - I feel sexy. It'S amazing Sunny. What'S our first lesson, Lauren Ridley wants to know any tips for thick straight hair. I'M never able to get volume because my hair is so heavy. Yes, love that uh question Lauren. So for long thick stray hair. I love a lot of layers. I love a lot of movement and I also like to release a lot of weight from that haircut, so there's layers and then there's like removing weight, removing weight in layers or different things. So I kind of like both some people who have thick straight hair, like more of just like a weight taking out one length haircut without the layers. Some people really like both like layers and weight removed, and I think, if you can like, create some movement in your haircut and remove some of that weight. So you can get a little bit of just a little bit of movement and texture in your hair. I would love that um product wise, you could totally get all up in there with some embody shampoo and conditioner. That'S going to kind of lift up your hair, give it a little bit of elevation. It'S got caffeine in the conditioner, so it's going to help like perk up your hair follicle a little bit any tips on preventing oily hair. Besides dry shampoo, Maddie, good question, I'm super glad you asked so the reason that some people's hair gets too oily in the first place is actually over washing. So what happens is is like the oil glands in your scalp they're mining, their own business, and then you wash your hair and if you use like a shampoo that does have a lot of sulfates, it's going to be even more triggering to the oil glands. If you use a more gentle shampoo, it still can happen from over washing, but basically you wash your hair. Your scalp says: oh my God, I'm so dry. I need to make oil so then it makes some oil, but then you wake up the next day and you're like I just washed my hair yesterday, but it's oily again so then you wash your hair again, then this glands are like geez and I need to Make even more oil, so they make more oil. So then, it just creates this like vicious cycle like washing daily, like where your scalp just ends up creating way more oil than it needs to, because you're drying it out too much getting away from daily, washing and doing like every other day or even like two Or three times a week, washing is good and it'll. Take like two or three weeks for your scalp up to get the message that, like you're, not going to be watching it so much so it can like slow down on the oil production. Believe it or not. I know this is counterintuitive, but a really ah good trick, ah, to help reduce oil and the scalp is actually using a pre-washed scalp oil, because if you moisturize your scalp and let it know that, like it's got enough moisture, it's going to kind of those oil Glands will kind of like relax a little bit. Should all hairdressers be able to cut all hair types, not to be like that person who says like yes and no, but it kind of, is giving me a little bit both because, like hairdressing, is ultimately an art. As a hair provider, as a hair stylist, you should be able to cut anybody's hair that comes into your chair. That being said, hair is an art form. Every artist is going to have their preference, like some artists really like to use clay. Some really like to use oil acrylic paints, some really like to use watercolor and that doesn't make any artist better or worse than someone else like they all just have their natural preferences and they have things that are going to like be easier for them to create Certain things than other things, like maybe someone likes to use a razor and someone else likes to use a scissor and you as a client, like maybe you've, had a bad experience with a razor. You don't want a razor hair or razor in your haircut. There'S also a lot of racism within the beauty. School just whole experience, because people are not taught to do textured hair in the same way that they're taught to do other hair type and also we know that there's rampant discrimination against black people for having different hair, textures and different types, and we've covered that. In my show, getting curious on Netflix, that's like why the crown Act is so necessary so that we can like protect Afrocentric hairstyles and have people not be penalized in work or school for having Afrocentric hairstyles. But that being said, they don't really teach a lot of those after eccentric, hairstyles and styling techniques in hair, school and a lot of hair schools period. And if you do have a textured hair part in your school, it's like very short and not as long. So it's about the end thing. I was really lucky that I had a really strong education in textured hair and I think it's also important as a hair stylist to if you do have a client. I'Ve done this on queer eye a lot. If you do have a client come to you, that wants a particular thing and you know you cannot provide that service or you know that someone else can do it better. It'S important for you to refer that person to the right person who can do that service in a great way like like for me, like I'm, not a good Barber, I'm not amazing, like I can do clippers, but they're, not my forte. So that's why? If someone really wants, like a barber, clipper shape, I'm going to bring in a barber for that, because it's going to turn out better, it's definitely not appropriate for a hairdresser to be like. I don't do textured hair or I don't do straight hair or I don't do women or I don't do like you - should be able to do every group of people, but there are going to be like intricacies and certain artistic things that you're going to be more Comfortable with as a hairdresser, so it's good to know that as a client, the best haircut tip for hair growth, I heard you should cut it every three to six months. Is this true three to six months is a good gauge for hair growth. For how often you should have a haircut um, but there's a lot of factors for hair growth that is not only based on haircuts. It'S how often you wash your hair think about like if you put a t-shirt in the washer and dryer like every day. The ends are going to get a little tattered, it's going to like kind of fray like if there's like any graphic stuff on the shirt it's going to kind of like come off a little bit, the color might fade your hair is really similar to fabric. So over washing that's going to cause your ends to get tattered a little bit faster heat styling your hair, a lot and not using heat protectant! That'S going to cause you to need to get more haircuts faster, a huge contributing thing to needing to get more haircuts and your hair, not growing, is sleeping with your hair down. That'S like eight hours, a night of just slow, 98 to 100 degree. Friction just rubbing on your ends, but yes, a trim every three to six months. If your hair is long like mine, that's totally sufficient. If you're someone who has like a really short haircut, like a short bob um, a shag, anything that's like more, like a definitive shape that you probably will need to get cut more like four to 12 weeks, because once it gets a little long, that shape doesn't Work, the same is leave-in conditioner spray meant to replace condition in your hair after shampoo, ah good question, and the answer is no leave-in. Conditioner is not meant to replace conditioner in the shower they're like different things. Leave-In conditioner is usually going to assist in detangling and it's going to help to prime your hair for heat styling, whereas conditioner in the shower, especially if you take warm showers, the cuticle of your hair is really open. So that's like a prime time to moisturize the hair, but it's because you rinse it out. It'S not going to like stay in your hair and especially for heat styling people for people who live in human climates or dry climates you're, going to want to have like long, lasting moisture in the hair and so leave-in. Conditioner is really helpful for that. My top layer of hair is wavy, but the bottom is pinned straight. How do I style it for people that have like really different textures on the same head of hair? It'S really really common. You could do a few things. One thing you could do is like do a heatless wave and like set the underneath of your hair. That'S straight, you know more curly through like a handkerchief set, or you could sleep in like two braids to kind of like set The Underneath more wavy or you could learn to blow the top out straight to match the underneath that shark Flex style is like half The price of a Dyson so like just a round brush blow dryer or like a paddle brush blow dryer combo is so helpful for blowing like wavy hair out straight way easier than like a traditional round brush. So learning how to do that and then just like flat ironing the top to get the sections to match would be really helpful. Also, sometimes a really great haircut, where you kind of like layer and remove weight from that underneath straight part way more. It can kind of like enhance a little bit of a wave or like encourage a little bit more wave underneath it might not like make it totally match, but it can kind of like blend it in a little bit better. That can also help okay lots of first questions here. We love first questions, so here's one thing about frizz, that's important to know off top and to just get it out of the way. Frizz is inevitable. It is going to happen to us it's important to kind of embrace the frizz and know that, having like truly not one Fly Away, unless it's a wig is probably not going to happen, so you can control phrases things you can do to mitigate the frizz, but, Like your hair isn't damaged or wrong or bad, your products aren't not working because your hair gets frizzy. Eventually, when you have a baby, your hair doesn't shed the same so when you're pregnant, your hair gets really really thick. Once you have the baby, the shedding is going to start to kick back in, and the hair sometimes can get a little bit finer and you can actually lose a little bit of hair post pregnancy. I'Ve seen it happen to so many clients over the years. It'S normal it's healthy and most of like a lot like the hair comes back like almost always. Silver hair just can tend to be a little bit frizzier a little bit more prone to frizz. That'S beautiful! That'S fine! It'S great! So in both of those the postpartum case and the going silver case, you really really really are going to want to prep the hair when it's wet, to prevent the frizz so you're going to want to do like a detangler or something in there to kind of, Like start to give the hair more moisture, while it's wet to like set the hair up for Success, so that would be like a complete conditioning Mist by jvn hair or you could do like really like it's like leave-in conditioners or detanglers, to help condition the hair. Try to avoid silicone, especially because that's going to create a barrier that will make other moisturizing ingredients like not able to get into the hair and prevent the frizz. So that's really important um also heat protectant super duper important or some sort of like curl enhancing cream. For our gray-haired friend or even our post, uh postpartum friend, something to like prevent frizz when it's wet, so if you're air drying, something like an air dry cream, would be fabulous if you're heat styling your hair, blowout milk, oh and then for our preventing frizz from A blowout friend that is kind of about maintenance, so everything I just said about prepping your hair for a style that would go for you too, so keep protectant detangler like a a blowout or a blowout. Milk will be really good for longevity in your blow dry. But it's also in like how you sleep with your blow dry and how you work out with your blow dry so like do not work out with your hair down and do not sleep with your hair down. That is going to make it frizz up a lot when you sleep and go to redo it. I love silk scrunchies for maintaining blow dries. You can take your blow dry on top of your head, so you want to do like a very loose twist like I'm. Just Loosely Gathering it on top of my head and I'm going to take the silk scrunchie because it's going to create less dense, less tension and then I'll take my hairline and I'll kind of pull it a little looser. So there's nothing! That'S like creating tension. While I sleep - and this is like comfy for me - like it - I don't feel any tension on any of my hair um. If you do feel tension, just pull it out a little more. That actually did give me a little bit so sometimes, if you feel it, you just need to move this down. So it's not like pulling the hair just like move this literally down, and that should take care of it. Definitely just took care of mine and that's going to protect all of this hair from getting caught between your body heat and your pillowcase and your sheets, which will totally rub and create frizz. There'S this other technique called a flat wrap, which is a little bit more advanced and it does require like a bonnet to sleep with um and I like to use a paddle brush, but I have this right now. So what you do is you start on one side of your hair and you're. Just gon na push the hair along your head and you just like literally wrap the hair all around your head, and then you put a little um scarf on like you would keep clipping it keep wrapping it and then you put a little scarf on and then You can take the clips out from underneath the scarf and then, when you wake up, you literally will have like a perfectly smooth, perfect blow dry. Can Hair Care be used on beards, some of it? Yes, I on a beard, I kind of like to do like a face wash on a beard, but in jbn hair's case you can totally do instant recovery, serum and nourishing shine drops on the beard feels great really softens gives it a gorgeous shine. So most the time, yes, any tips on baby hairs not doing too much tension on ponytails to create new baby hairs is good. Toothbrushes are really nice to control baby hairs with I like air dry cream, um yeah. Thank you YouTube for coming to Harris School. We love it three installments honey.
