00:02 What's up guys, welcome back to my channel.

00:20 Today I'm going to be filming a video

00:22 on how I keep my hair nice and strong

00:25 and how I grew it to be so long.

00:27 So basically just general like my hair care routine,

00:30 if you will.

00:31 So also comment down below if you guys like

00:35 when the light behind me is on or off.

00:37 I feel like it's kind of like easier to see when it's off,

00:39 but I could be totally wrong.

00:40 So just let me know.

00:41 So just a little background on my hair.

00:42 I've always had very thick hair.

00:46 It's always, and it's not naturally like this straight.

00:49 I do straighten it.

00:50 It's usually like a little wavy

00:52 and the underside can get pretty frizzy.

00:54 So I haven't gotten it cut since like January

00:57 'cause I like never get my hair cut

00:58 because I just like to keep it long

01:00 and very simple with how I style it.

01:01 I've also never colored my hair.

01:04 This is my natural hair color.

01:05 So I don't have any damage in that way.

01:07 So first thing, the shampoo and conditioner I use

01:10 are the OGX brand.

01:13 And so you can just find them literally anywhere.

01:15 I know this is super simple,

01:16 but I've tried many other hair products

01:18 and this just really does a good job

01:19 at getting rid of the frizz.

01:21 So these are the specific ones I have,

01:23 like the keratin oil one and the coconut water.

01:26 This is my shampoo, this is conditioner,

01:27 but I kind of just get whichever one is at the store

01:30 that I really feel like that time.

01:31 I feel like they're all pretty good quality

01:33 and it doesn't really matter for,

01:35 like it doesn't really feel much different

01:37 if I get the keratin smooth one

01:40 or the coconut milk or whatever.

01:43 So I just kind of get whatever's at the store.

01:45 Just use this as you would.

01:47 And about once every two weeks or once a month,

01:51 once every two weeks, I'm really ambitious,

01:53 I like to use a hair mask.

01:55 So this is the OGX brand again.

01:57 This is argan oil of Morocco.

02:00 This is just a hair mask.

02:01 And I like to put this on in the shower

02:04 and kind of brush through it.

02:05 And then I'll like step out of the shower for a while,

02:08 like 30 or so minutes, and then I'll go rinse it off again.

02:11 And I feel like it really just seals in on my split ends

02:14 and helps it.

02:14 And then it's like for the rest of the week,

02:16 it's like extra shiny and smooth.

02:17 So I would also recommend doing this.

02:19 Another one of my major tips,

02:21 I feel like people know already though,

02:23 is to use a wide tooth comb.

02:25 Your hair is much more delicate when it's wet

02:27 'cause it's soaked up all that water

02:29 and it just breaks a lot more easily.

02:31 So when you use a wide tooth comb,

02:32 there are less opportunities for your hair to break.

02:36 And it's just much more healthy

02:38 for like when you get out of the shower.

02:40 So you don't just like break all the hair

02:41 that's like weakened at the moment.

02:43 Also something I use after the shower

02:45 that I found really has made a huge difference.

02:48 I actually got this in an Ipsy

02:49 and I purchased the full size package.

02:51 But this is the Marc Anthony Nourishing Argan Oil

02:54 of Morocco Three Day Smooth.

02:56 So it's like a keratin smoothing product.

03:01 Would totally recommend this.

03:02 I put, I just use like a full pump in my hair

03:05 after I shower when my hair is damp.

03:07 And then I blow dry my hair.

03:09 And like I've gotten so many compliments

03:10 since I've started using this.

03:11 Like my hair is so much smoother.

03:13 My hair didn't always look this smooth.

03:15 It was usually a little frizzier.

03:17 But when I use this, it is literally so smooth.

03:19 Guys, like I almost don't even need to straighten it after

03:21 'cause it's already so like smooth and like silky.

03:24 So that is an incredible product.

03:26 Shout out to Ipsy for introducing it to me

03:28 because I really love it.

03:30 Another tip I use is to use non-damaging hair ties.

03:34 When I go to the gym, I do use regular hair ties

03:36 'cause I really need my hair to get out of my face

03:38 and these won't cut it.

03:39 But I always keep one of these little guys around my wrist

03:42 to put my hair up when I need it to be out of my face.

03:45 But these are just super, like super cheap little hair ties.

03:49 I'm sure you've seen these.

03:51 They have little ties.

03:52 It's just a very soft material.

03:54 So they don't put a kink in your hair

03:55 and they also don't pull out as much hair

03:58 or catch on your hair or like just damage it as much.

04:01 So they're just really soft hold, non-damaging hair ties.

04:04 I would definitely recommend keeping a few of these around.

04:07 I just keep them on my wrist like all the time.

04:10 And you can also get like cuter ones.

04:12 Like I've seen ones with like little unicorns

04:14 if that's your thing.

04:14 Like you kind of wear it as a bracelet.

04:16 So it kind of doubles as that.

04:17 But I definitely would recommend that

04:19 if you tend to put your hair up a lot like me.

04:21 Like if you're a student,

04:22 you need to get out of your face while you're writing.

04:24 I would definitely recommend these.

04:25 And my last tip is super nerdy,

04:27 but I think this is my best tip for not damaging your hair

04:31 is to sleep in scrunchies.

04:35 So when you're sleeping,

04:36 especially if you have like a regular cotton pillowcase,

04:39 your hair is just like rubbing against it all night

04:41 and that can cause like cause breakage and split ends.

04:44 And it's not so great for your hair.

04:46 Also, your hair gets a lot more tangled during the night,

04:48 which I'm sure you've all noticed.

04:50 And then you have to like really struggle

04:51 to brush in the morning, which causes more breakage.

04:54 But when you use these scrunchies,

04:56 your hair kind of stays in one place,

04:57 which is also kind of nice

04:58 because I hate when my hair's all over my neck.

05:00 But I just put two of these in my hair, super nerdy.

05:03 But I would definitely recommend getting these

05:05 and make sure to get scrunchies, not hair ties,

05:07 because the scrunchies are a lot more gentle.

05:10 They're like larger and they don't leave kinks in your hair.

05:13 And they're just like a lot more comfortable to sleep on.

05:16 So I just do that at the nape of my neck.

05:18 And just kind of throw my ponytail to the side

05:20 while I'm sleeping.

05:21 I just wake up and I honestly like

05:22 don't even have to brush my hair.

05:23 It's not tangled, it's not damaged.

05:25 I've been doing this for years.

05:26 Me and my mom started doing it

05:27 when I was like in middle school.

05:29 'Cause she learned about this tip.

05:30 So shout out to mom for telling me about this.

05:32 But yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

05:34 It was pretty requested.

05:35 I got a lot of compliments about my hair on this channel,

05:37 which is so nice.

05:38 I just take a lot of pride in my hair.

05:40 So thank you everyone who commented that.

05:42 So yeah, hope you guys enjoyed.

05:45 Let me know if you have any more questions

05:47 about what I do to my hair.

05:49 What like, you know, blow dryer or straightener I use.

05:51 I'm happy to answer those questions.

05:53 And yeah, so please make sure to like and subscribe
