Split Ends: Dermatologist Explains Damaged Hair Causes, Treatments, Prevention, & More!

PEOPLE WHO HAVE CURLY HAIR HAVE IT HARD I HATE MY CURLY HAIR SO I HAVE SPLIT ENDS BC I USE HEAT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

What are your thoughts on the Zuvi hair dryer (wish I knew more than “patented LightCare technology” as a consumer) in regards to damage vs a traditional hair dryer utilizing just heat?

I learned so much, thank you! I’ve been following you for over a year and I really appreciate all of the advice. Your hair is beautiful by the way. Is there any specific hair care advice for curly hair? I feel like curly hair is a whole different world and even though I’m in my mid 30s I still feel like I can’t get my 3b curls right.

Hello Dr. Do you think its safe to use argan and coconut oils for hair growth during pregnancy? thank you

As a curly hair woman I cannot relate to not washing my hair strands. I do not recommend washing it like you are in a Garnier commercial, but you have to remove all that gels/creams. I believe we usually leave around a cup of styling products in.

Very helpful! Enjoyed this content 😊

How to avoid staining the collars/backs of your shirts when using hair oil though? 😢

Loved it! I’m buying those products you recommended! 🩷

This is so helpful! I recently went through postpartum hair loss, so whatever hairs I have left I am very interested in preserving! 😅 Your written summaries of tips in the video are great for screen shots in case I need to review later. Appreciate that! 🎉

Do you have any thoughts on keratin treatments/ brazilian blowouts for curly hair? They help my hair be so much more manageable with it taking 5% of the styling time and allow me to use way less heat on my hair. Leaves my hair looking shiny and healthier (even if just superficially) and really boosts my confidence about my appearance.

Which hair brush do you recommend?

This was a really amazing informative video thank you so much! I learned so much. I am a dermatologist and was interested in learning about how these “bond repair” products work but wasn’t sure where to start. What sources did you use for the content of this video?

Do you have any specific updo protective styles?

I always wonder - what kind of thermal/heat protectant can I use on already dried hair before using a hot tool? For example, I’m on second day hair and I want to curl it…should I just spray my Unite protectant and start curling (even though it’s damp from the spray?)? Help! Lol

Hi Dr Ellis, thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us, we learned so much from you! Quick question. I am endlessly looking for hair products to make my hair appear less drying. I just looked at the ingredients to the unite detangler, and it has so much alcohol in it. Doesn’t that kind of negate the good properties or ingredients in the products? I guess if it works it works I’m just curious about long-term use.

Nobody ever talks about this, but I'm using pure mineral oil for my hair and it's the best hair oil I've ever used

My hair is extremely bleach damaged, so I had to cut it off to super short. I use k18 and olaplex but they don't do much, `I think the extent of my damage is too much so I think I just have to grow out my own colour.

Updated makeup routine and product favorites please!

Loving the hair videos!! Ive needed some product recommendations! Do you have any shampoo recommendations?

LOVE the Virtue Healing Oil. Mostly for the scent though lol

Basically down to bad genes

Dr Sam
Excellent video
So from the info that you have provided
I’m assuming
That clear glazing/ glosses
To add + just Shine to your natural colour
Are
Also not good ?(?) 🧐

Do you have a more affordable hair oil and mask you recommend?

I’m a big fan of the Unite Blonda oil

Happy October dr sam ellis love your cosy vlogs 😊 xx

I only wash my hair two times a week is it okay to only use a hair mask instead of conditioner after both washes ?

Hi dr.Sam!! I have a question… If I only wash my hair twice a week, is it OK to just use a hair mask those two times and skip conditioner altogether?

I have multiple contact allergies including fragrance but a new oil showed up on my CAMP list. SEEN Magic Serum. Would love any opinions on this product. I have fine hair that is a bit below the shoulders and “aging”. I am 67 and never heard of a patch test until in my mid 50’s. Would have prevented a lot of grief in my younger years. 🤣 Thanks for all the info. 😎✌🏻

Hi, Dr. Elis — Would you do a video specifically on hair loss?! I’m in my mid-30’s & I already feel like my hair is thinning! 😩 I also have noticed that whenever I gently comb/brush my hair or wash my hair I see more hair fallout/“shedding” too! 😭 It’s hard to know if it’s because of stress or genetics. And I’m curious about different products to try too. Thanks for your input! 💛

Thank you, very helpful and you look beautiful. I love Unite and Virtue products as well. I use a wide tooth comb when hair is wet and seems to help.

Ooo so timely, Doc! I've been going back & forth on cutting my hair. I haven't had a professional cut in over 7 years. 🫣 I don't want a stylist chopping it way down just because of split ends. Thank you for this!
