Correction: I said oil has a pH of zero, and I should have said “no measurable pH/highly acidic.” I am aware of the pH scale and how it works. In the midst of recording I misstated the information and missed the planned correction I intended to make while editing.

POINT OF CLARIFICATION: I have received several questions around the oils tip, so I will clarify here and likely address it again in another vid! I am not saying oils are bad, of course they provide vitamin content and many act as emollients/conditioning agents. I am saying, if you are drenching your hair in oils that cling to the hair, and you are expecting them alone to moisturize, that is going to cause the hair to have excessive build-up and eventually repel water, aka moisture. I am speaking to those experiencing issues with breakage, shedding, itching/flaking, dryness and so on due to using only oil as a "moisturizer" and/or neglecting to fully cleanse the hair. I included this tip due to the large number of clients I've seen doing this and having issues as a result. And as always, if something doesn't apply to you or you disagree, continue with what you want to do/use. I hope this helps!

FAQs:

My haircut - I am a licensed cosmetologist and I cut my own hair. I have a square perimeter with round layers that I cut while wet. I cut a few inches off in June 2018 to reshape. You should definitely see a stylist and not cut your own hair (see    • Back to Black: DIY The Right Way!   at minute marker 6:15 to learn why!)

My washday - I cleanse and deep condition every 5 to 7 days. If sooner, I will opt for a shampoo + rinse out conditioner or co-wash depending on how my hair feels. I steam every other full wash with deep conditioner for 10-15 minutes or use a heated cap.

My hair type - wavy + curly, high density, medium porosity and fine strands.
