I wanted to start off by asking a question to everyone in the room, and you can take a minute to think about this question. I wanted to ask what you find most beautiful, and not in the world and butterflies and flowers, but in a person. What do you find the most attractive in a person? Is it eyes? Do you like pretty eyes, blue eyes, curly hair, long nails, big feet? Some people like big feet. What is it about people that we find attractive? I think that the way that we think of beauty comes from different things like social media, the internet, magazines, especially, and that's coming from a model. I feel that those things are kind of what define beauty today. Personally to me, I feel that beauty is in everything, and some people may say that big feet are not cute, but there's going to be a pair of shoes that are going to look better on my size nine feet than a size six foot. I find that there can be beauty in everything. For example, love your dreads, they are amazing. You're gorgeous here, Talia. Oh my God, I wish I could get mine to be that big. Sir, you with the shiny bald head, I think that is amazing. That sheen, perfect. So as you can see, I find beauty in everything. And yeah, of course, I find beauty in everything. That's super duper cliche, right? Beauty in everything? I don't think everyone thinks that there's beauty in everything. The reason why I feel that there's beauty in everything is because when I was young, I was picked on for something that today I feel is amazing. One thing about me connects millions of people around the world, and that is something I think you can probably see. It's my skin condition. It's called vitiligo. And vitiligo is basically my immune system feels that my melanin, which is what makes color in your skin, thinks my melanin is a disease, something similar to the common cold. So it fights it off. And that makes my skin turn white. I was singled out because of this skin condition. I was bullied. I was alienated. Even by people who didn't mean to alienate me, for example. We would, like everyone does, take family pictures, and my mom would bring a little tub of makeup, and it was her makeup. My mom is not the same skin color as me. She's much darker than I am. So could you imagine me having a dark paste of face, and the rest of me is light brown, white? I obviously didn't feel comfortable, but my mom was trying to make me feel comfortable. I was alienated. In school, I changed schools in about grade three, grade two, and it's already hard to make friends when you change schools, especially at such a young age. But luckily, I found two girls who were willing to play with me. They didn't really know who I was, but they wanted to play. They wanted to check me out and see if I was one of the cool kids. And after a few weeks of being in that school and having those friends, all of a sudden I didn't have them. And I was kind of confused as to why I was struggling to make friends. I finally did, and now where'd they go? They would avoid me at recess, they would avoid me at lunch, and I finally went up to them one day and I was like, guys, what's going on? Why aren't you talking to me anymore? They said to me, we can't talk to you anymore, sorry. Our parents said that we might catch your skin condition. Can you imagine how that made me feel in grade two, grade three? That hurt. I was alienated, I was embarrassed, to be honest. I didn't know what the skin condition was in grade two or grade three, I wasn't asked if I wanted the skin condition, I didn't ask for it, yet I was alienated for it. But here's the thing, when I got a little bit older, I didn't want to be in that position anymore, I didn't want to be bullied. So rather than just taking myself out of the position, what did I do? I became the bully. It's not better on one side than the other, I can tell you, because I've been on both sides. I didn't want to be bullied anymore, so I took lead with those people who were bullying, and I said, cool, those are going to be my friends now, because hey, I don't want to be bullied,

[2 / 2]
I don't want to be on this side of the spectrum, so hey, I guess the only side is to be on this side, this must be the good side. So I decided to go to that side, and I would pick on kids, and I would be like, so ugly, your hair, ugh, who did that, rude, right? But I came to a realization that I was trying to put myself into a mold that I didn't fit. And I mean, who's to say that I'm supposed to fit in a mold anyway, you know? I can make my own. So I decided that I was going to take myself away from this side and away from this side and make my own side, and fit myself a new mold. And that mold is so cliche, but I feel that there's beauty in everything. So I just want to put this idea in your head that it takes one person to realize that there is beauty in everything, and you don't have to be on one side of the spectrum, or the other side of the spectrum, or fit into someone's mold, your mom's mold, whoever mold that you're trying to fit into, be your own person. Know for yourself what beauty is, rather than looking to a magazine or to even me for what beauty is. Open up your heart and make your own mold for what beauty is.

Dryness is one of the most common hair problems out there, but it's actually really easy to fix. So why do so many people have this problem if there's an easy fix? Because nobody showed them how to actually fix it. Welcome to Hair University. Today, we're going over a hair routine that will fix even the driest of hair. And like I said, it's really easy. If you're able to watch this video, you're able to fix dry hair. Let's get into it. First part is you need to understand that there's really no such thing as dry hair. It's so easy to fix. No one really has dry hair. It's kind of like describing yourself as a hungry person. Nobody goes on a first date and describes himself as hungry. It's just it's weird. It's so temporary and easy to fix. It's not really a thing. And dryness and hair is the exact same. It's so temporary and easy to fix. And everyone deals with it. It's not a thing. Really, the only difference with hunger is that you know exactly how to deal with it and make it go away. But with hair, you don't know. So that's what we're going to teach you. So by the end of this video, asking what's the best shampoo for dry hair is going to sound just as ridiculous as asking what's the best food for a hungry person. So let's get into it. If you don't know me, my name is Chris. I own a hair salon called Live Love Locks. We try out every new hair product and bring the best ones to you. I make these videos because way too many people have unhealthy hair and I don't want you to be one of them. To combat dryness, you need to understand what creates dryness. And the answer to that is pretty much everything. Going outside, being out in the environment, dying your hair, styling your hair, only using shampoo and conditioner, not using the right products. All of those things will create dryness in your hair. So it's pretty much everything. Your hair is actually really similar to your skin. I like to use this comparison because everybody knows that there's different skin types and everybody knows that you need to help your skin stay moisturized. Hair is the exact same way. So today, we're going to figure out how to help your hair stay moisturized. The worst thing about dry hair is that it loses its strength. As it dries out, it gets brittle and damaged and starts to break off. And damage is actually little holes in the outside protective layer of your hair. And it's not bad just because it looks bad. It's bad because those holes actually make it harder for your hair to retain moisture. It will leak right out of the holes. So you get this vicious cycle where dry hair gets damaged and brittle. The damage creates more holes in the hair, which means it lose more moisture. So it gets drier and even more damaged. Let's step back for a second. I know this sounds really bad, but here's the thing. It's actually an easy fix. The point I'm trying to make here is that you and your hair are a team. You need to help it out. And if you let it continue to be dry, it's only going to get worse. So let's fix it now before it gets worse. The first thing you need to understand about keeping hair healthy and moisturized is that it's made up of two different components. Number one, of course, is moisture. But number two, you actually need your hair to have the ability to retain moisture. The first part, moisture is super straightforward. Conditioner or hair mask will put a ton of moisture in your hair. But if it were that easy, why do so many people still have really dry hair? The answer, of course, is that moisture is only half the game. You need products to add moisture and products to help retain moisture. In other words, you can use a ton of moisturizing products. But if it can't retain that moisture, it's just going to leak right out and leave you with dry hair. You're going to be super frustrated and wondering what you're doing wrong. So believe it or not, with that simple framework, you now understand hair dryness better than most stylists. So congratulations on that. Now we're going to actually build you a hair routine with specific

products to get both moisture and moisture retention. We're going to start out by prioritizing moisture retention because if your hair can't hold on to water, it doesn't matter how much you put in there. It's like a leaky bucket. It's going to come right out the bottom. Remember that a minute ago I told you the damage was actually holes in the outside of your hair that allowed moisture to escape. We need to figure out if your hair is damaged because if that's a problem, it has to be addressed first. So how do you know if you have damage? Breakage is one of the easiest things to look for. If some of your hair is much shorter than the length of your hair, then some of it has broken off and that's breakage. Another way to know is that your ends will split right after you get a trim, like within a week or two. That's a sign of damage that the hair is unhealthy in the first place. So it splits really quickly. Another way to tell is if your hair is looking duller, if it's lost that vibrant, shiny look to it. And now it looks kind of just like dull and it's probably damaged. So if you're noticing those problems, you probably have damage and we need to do something to repair that damage so your hair can retain moisture. These things are super common in blondes because going blonde causes a lot of damage. So if you're noticing these things, you have damage and we need to fix it for your hair to be able to retain moisture. The best product for that is Olaplex 3. You only need to use it once a week for 10 minutes. If you want to see an entire video on that showing you exactly what to do, I'll link it right up here. So essentially, this will repair the holes in your hair that are allowing the moisture to leak out. This basically gets the bonds that were originally holding the structure of your hair together in the first place to be created again. Just go with it. All right. So that's a major one. If you have damaged hair, if you don't have damaged hair, don't worry about this. Let's go on to the next step, which is moisture retaining products. So after you wash and condition your hair, it's going to have tons of moisture in it. That's great. But we're smart and we know the shampoo and conditioner are not nearly enough to stop dry hair. We know that your hair has no way to naturally retain the moisture from your conditioner. So if we leave it alone at this point, all the moisture is going to dry right out. Like we never even use the conditioner in the first place. And if we allow that to happen, like most people do, that is an absolute disaster. We retain basically zero percent of the moisture. But what if you could retain 100 percent of the moisture? Your hair would go from here to up here. It's actually really easy. Let me show you how. So let me unveil the first of two products that are going to help you accomplish this. And it is leave in conditioner. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the most important product of all time. This hydrates your hair a little bit, and that doesn't sound that impressive. But really, the secret to what's going on here is it forms a protective layer around the outside of your hair that locks in 100 percent of the moisture. This completely transforms your hair. Without this, your hair is basically like a broken fire hydrant. If you ever seen it, it's just spewing water all into the air. That's usually your hair. Without this, this completely transforms your hair. If you're not using this, you don't care about your hair. Leave in conditioner is one of those products where it's already super light. So it works for every single hair type. This is the best one I've ever found. It's Pureology's Color Fanatic, and I highly recommend it. It's one of our best sellers. If you want to see a video on the exact benefits and how to use it, I'll link a video right up here. But now let's move on to the second and last moisture retaining product. Probably notice that your ends are the driest part of your hair, and that's completely normal. If you think about it, it makes complete sense.

Not only are your ends the oldest and most damaged part of your hair, they're also completely exposed. In other words, I want you to think of your hair like a pipe. Pipes always have this hard outside protective layer that lets the fluid go through the middle. But your ends basically got cut. So they're a pipe where the water is just flowing right out. What we need to do is seal off your ends so the moisture can't come out the end anymore. And to do that, we're going to bring out the heavy artillery, which is hair oil. We're going to be very, very careful about hair oil because it's so strong. If you put too much in, your hair will feel oily and gross. So we're only going to use a little bit here. Oil is great for sealing ends because oil does not mix with water. So when you put this on your ends, the water cannot pass through and escape. This is so strong. We're only going to use a little bit. It's only going to be on our ends. If you have a little bit leftover, you can use it on your mids. But really, on your ends, don't get too crazy. If you want to see a video on exactly the benefits and exactly how to use it. I'll leave a link up here. You have two options for hair oil. If your hair tends to get weighed down really easily, if you have fine or medium hair, I really recommend Olaplex 7. It'll help your hair stay fresh and clean longer. But if your hair is coarse and drinks up hydrating products, I would recommend Moroccan oil. It's much stronger. This Olaplex 7 isn't going to do much if you have coarse hair. You need something really strong like this. All right. So if you're waiting for the hard part of what you think that you're not going to be able to do because you're not that good at hair. Here it is. No, I'm just kidding. We're totally done. That's the whole thing. It's super easy. I told you you could do it. All right. So quick recap. Hydrating your hair requires two things. Number one, moisture and number two, moisture retention, which is equally important. You have to have both. Moisture comes from using conditioner or hair mask. Forget all those other crazy products that you leave in overnight or whatever. Don't worry about those conditioner or hair mask. After those products put moisture inside your hair. Your job is not to lock 100% of the moisture in your hair so it doesn't leak out. The absolute best way to do that is with a leave in conditioner and hair oil. Don't go for any crazy or exotic products that don't work nearly as well as these two. If your hair is damaged and you're experiencing a lot of breakage and super dry hair, you should definitely use Olaplex 3 to plug the holes. They're actually allowing moisture to leak from your hair. And that is the entire routine. Feel free to take a screenshot so you can remember this later. But healthy hair routines are actually really easy. So styling is the hard part. So with this, you should never have dry hair again. Just stick to the plan. It's really only two products. Don't try to fudge it with this product or that product. Stick to the plan. And I promise you, you will see immediate results. It's not something that takes months to happen. It'll happen really quickly for you. I wish you the best of luck. I'm going to link all the products in the description. And if you have any questions, leave a comment. I'll make sure to get back to you. Thank you so much for watching. Have a good one, guys.
