Hello. Happy. It is a Saturday and we're doing a little bit of a different vlog today because we have my hairdresser F Z here
Hi. So we're gonna do a vlog on all things hair. So we're gonna
you're gonna see me get my hair cut. We're gonna do tips about having nice
Although my hair's a bit of a mess right now. But tips for having nice hair and healthy hair and some and a from people
who have just asked on social the media, what questions they want to ask flis
So this is, she's just doing Papa ginger hair. Now, Fliss has cut my hair for it's
definitely over 10, maybe like even 15 or something. So, do you want to tell them a little bit about um what you've done like
your history and cutting hair? Like how I started in to when I was 16 and I was there for 19 years
and then I left and to go self employed, which I, I'm currently doing now
So I work out of a salon in Newcastle called East to Hairdressing and then I also freelance
which is how I'm here. Yeah. Um I've been staff trainer in my years entered competitions
Just all the things that you do when you're working for Tony and which was great fun
learned so much. Yeah. And that, and then now I'm here. Yeah
So while Fliss is finished and doing my hair, we're going to do a bit of a Q and A
So the first thing we're gonna talk about is top tips for keeping your hair looking healthy and happy
So I think my top tip is getting it cut regularly. Yeah
because when I leave it a while I really notice the difference. So I used to think that hairdresser said like every four or six
weeks because they just wanted your money. But I think now round about six weeks is right for me
What do you think? Yeah, definitely. Um because it's not, I this is my motto
it's not what you take off, it's why you take off the counts. So it's so important just to have those little fashion up for
hair health and for, you know, your maintenance and your the styling aspect of it
Yeah, it gets way harder to do if once I've left it past like 6 to 8 weeks
Indeed. Yeah. Um And, and, and that goes alongside with just important as a healthy diet
I mean, you can't have a very unhealthy diet and think that your hair is gonna be glossy and shiny
What kind of things that you eat affect your hair? Do you think in bad ways
Yeah. Well, just and good ways. Both. Yeah. Well, in, in easy and simple
in good ways, you know, plenty of fruit, vegetable, good, clean protein helps because that helps with hair growth and
bad things. I mean, obviously first things, first is things like smoking alcohol
just general unhealthy foods, which is what society we've got everywhere, haven't we
It's easier to find something unhealthy. I heard somebody say if you eat loads of like chocolate and crap
it makes your hair greasier. Is that right? Um It depends on the body because our
a lot of our hair all runs off. You know, it's to do with the hormones as you know
because when we had the static thing as well, didn't we in your hair? My hair after you had
after you had a child, you had always go thick. So it's issues like that
So it all depends on the person. So it could be chocolate for myself but then it could be crisps for yourself
Do you know what I mean? It's, it's, it's, it's all different. Yeah. Have you got any other tips for making your hair look healthy
and oil, coconut oil? So if you know, so say if you're planning to wash your hair on the morning that
night time, plaster your hair and coconut oil and then just shampoo it off as
you know, as normal. It's amazing for your hair. It really put the coconut oil on your hair and sleep in it
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So like me because my hair like I only condition the ends because my hair gets greasy so quick and it looks
greasy easily. If I did that with my hair, not look greasy the next day. No
because you, you're washing it so you're doing it. So if you knew you were gonna wash your hair tomorrow morning
you'd pop it on tonight. Ok? It's amazing. I mean, to be honest, your hair
it's healthy. It doesn't need coconut oil. But you know, if you've got dry hair and lack of shine
which you don't have that mine is very shiny but it goes greasy so fast
Yeah, that's my problem how oily it gets and with that it's
we've talked about training it before, haven't we? But I never seem to get past the second day
I, well, that's the thing, the more you wash it, the more your hair becomes relying on the being clean
So you bought and perfect example. One of my friends down in London
she would wash her hair every day, but she's got a fringe. I always say to her
just wash your fringe and tie the rest back and get your hair used to it
Well, living in London and she's just actually bought a house further out
So it meant getting up earlier. So she's actually trained her hair and she said to me
she said to me in November when I was down. It's the best thing that she's ever done is train her hair
But did the fringe just not get greasy? Just wash the fringe
I know. But then does she still not need to wash her fringe every day? No. But, yeah, that's what I mean
Just wash the fringe every day. Ok. So, like she would tie your hair back and then just over the
the sink, just wash it, maybe get away with that. Yeah. And then so still wash hair maybe every other day but definitely just um
just wash your fringe because I, when I had a friend, I used to do it. Yeah, I
I and I actually used to be able to go for about, well, maybe weeks being a bit dramatic
but I used to go for a long time without washing my hair. I feel like it's gone static though
I know we're having issues today with your static. It's this, it's this time of year
It goes really static. It's because heating in. Yeah, super annoying. So do you have any other tips for keeping her healthy
Um Always use a good shampoo and conditioner which is obviously quite what makes them good um in in the ingredients
ingredients is imperative like a lot of your your cheaper shampoos. Um I don't wanna say any names if
if they've got a lot of um silicon in which silicone. Yes
it would make your hair look lovely for a short period. But then it would build up in your hair and then you'll need to
use like a and then it'll just be greasy. So I've noticed that with some shampoos actually
And then you needed to use like a clarifying shampoo to strip it back out. Yes, indeed
And, and it really, really, I always say to my clients because obviously the stuff that we sell in the salon is a lot here
I always say you can't go wrong with Loreal because I mean l'oreal as you know
is a fantastic make. They're the owners of except they're owned by Nestle who are boycott
So right now, well, I'm vegan so I put Nestle. But anyway
regardless of all that is they, are there any other you like
Um, oh, if, well, if you're willing to pay a really, really fabulous one is Sebastian
Sebastian or Evo, IVO is as natural as natural. Can be without being organic
Um, but yeah, just a really, really lovely product. So hair is done
We're back. So I'm covered in, covered in hair. Story of my life
Try being me. Yeah, that must suck. So we'll quickly finish if there's any last tips and then we'll do the questions on my phone
So covered diet, the coconut oil. Um, good shampoo conditioner regularly. Yeah
cut regularly. Yeah. Um, and I think a lot of people you need
especially those with long hair. You need to be kind to your hair
So when you're combing it through, we, we all tend, I mean
I'm a car myself so, like, brush it through like that, you know
ripping it from the top to rip the taps out. But you shouldn't, like, you should do is start from the bottom and work your
way up and you're fine. It a lot easier. And that as well if you've got Children
um, because we just tend to like, like rip it through and
and especially toward the back. But really what we, what you need to do is comb it like from the base
from the bottom upwards and you'll find it a lot easier. And obviously, then you're not ripping the cuticles as such
So that's a really hard, if you're a swimmer. Um, most important either
Well, one of two things, if not both cover your hair, like buy a really cheap conditioner
plaster your hair in it before you get into the water or coconut oil
That's what I do. Would you say the same for if you were on holiday as well to do the same
Yeah. Yeah. And maybe it's not the, well, you could use the coconut oil if you're on holiday
But then the concern is because coconut oil actually is Factor Five. So if you were to go like that onto your hair and then
you know, maybe he's rubbed your skin without even realizing you could maybe like fry yourself in certain patches of your hair
So if you are going to use coconut oil to protect your hair on holiday
just to ensure that you're washing your hands afterwards. You know, so you're not accidentally getting a bit of coconut oil on your bare skin
because then that would be a really high like, you know, you burn, burn yourself and yeah
cheap conditioner or even really soak your hair prior to going in the pool on
So like, you know, with the showers have um your hair completely wet because then your hair can only absorb so much
So it's going to create a barrier so it won't absorb as much chlorine
That's a good tip. Yeah. Anything else? Uh If you already are a swimmer and you don't practice that
So you've got chlorine in your hair. A good one is, I mean
I would advise if you've got a really bright color but in with your shampoo makes a tiny bit of fair
I would say fairy up liquid, washing up liquid because that really helps to strip the chlorine out because those who've got clone in the
hair know that it's a nightmare. It's a, it just makes you
I feel greasy. That's really good tips if you, if you Yeah
because like chlorine, I know straight away. So if I do a new client and I don't know that they're a swimmer
I can tell if they, they've got chlorine in the house straight away
That's interesting. That's a good one. Let's see what questions we've got
Ok. Um Now you're not really a colorist though. It's a tips for horn coloring when you have dark hair and want to hide gray
roots. Also easy, quick updos for a mum with two minutes a morning to do hair
So board of ponytails and buns that's from jaw from three kids and no sleep
Hi, Joe. The color one. I mean, I don't actually do color myself
but I have trained it years ago. So what was the question again? Sorry about the roots
A good um tips for home coloring when you have dark hair and want to hide gray roots
So well, I'll give you two answers there. So I don't know if you
it always, when you are coloring your hair, always put it on the roots first
leave it 20 minutes and then put it through to your ends because then it takes more onto your roots
I mean, I don't know if you practice that already, but that is a very good tip because obviously if you put it straight through
the ends, the ends absorb the hair. So it's gonna come out a different tone to the top
So always do your roots first and then 20 minutes later, then do you do the ends
If you do the ends and in between, in between your colors you can get now they're almost like little eye shadows in the little
sprays and stuff. Yeah. Like your dark, dark dry shampoo is fantastic for covering roots
Really, really good. I use dry shampoo but the, the one was it Tony and guys
one that was better than the one I have, I think with the dark dry shampoo
is that it, like, it rubs onto your face and stuff, like it goes on your hands and stuff
Make sure you dirty nails. Like if I ever scratch my head or something, then I'm like through
Exactly. But well, that all these things always have a side effect almost there
So, but yeah, that's a good one. But the, the original product that was released that um I think personally that I don't
use it, but for what I've had the feedback I've had is the wow one
So it's like literally like an eye shadow. You just pop it onto your roots. Um Clients of mine love that one again
And with your dry shampoos, the Baptist one is good. But who is it powerful when it comes out
It's like, so be careful where you are because you don't want to spray the area
And if you're doing it like that, you're literally just going to have so much here because I made that mistake
I borrowed my friends and here he was the, the normal one and I literally just had like loads there
I find that as well. I hope that helps you and see what else we've got Um Let's
see. Her other question was oh, about the hair wrap. Yeah. Quick produce for a mom with two minutes on the morning and to do
hair. Still bored of ponytails and buns. All right, because I was gonna say a top knot which I
which I always love and the messier it is, is the better. So literally a top knot is similar to a bun really
But you're putting your hair in the bubble really? Like quite high up like high
Like normally you'd put it there but put it up slightly bit higher. Literally
like either don't brush it or give it a quick back room and just wrap it around and just put clips in because then it
comes out a bit untidy. That one's really lovely. I can't do a top knot though
But you know what? I just do nothing. Yeah. Well, you, you, you've got short hair but um top not great
but like I say it, the the more not bothered about it
you are the better. It looks so literally just scrap it up, do it quick if you fuss with it
I think those are better if you've got thick hair though because for me, I just end up with like
I mean, obviously my hair is short now, but even if it was longer, I just end up with this. Yeah, like like little Pebbles
thing. Um Whereas like lifestyle bloggers and stuff and they've got like these huge and then people use those squidgy things
don't they? Yeah. Yeah. Like, and you can get, like, now bubbles with extra bits of hair on right quick
I know. Yeah. Um, I mean, depending on the length of your hair
another quite easy one. I mean, it doesn't sound easy like you just bring your hair back and best again to not brush it and
like, almost as if you're doing like a ple but just sort of like twirl it up and then just put your like your pins
in. So then when the round and bits pop out, it almost makes it look like
you know, you've had it pinned up nicely. And I, with my advice on all of that is the messier
it looks the better it tends to be. So don't be fussy with it
just throw it up high, some clips in and chances are it look better than if you try too hard
Yeah. Yeah. So Louise says hat, Heather, Heather hot weather makes my hair so flat
Any tips for getting some volume back when I arrive somewhere and take off my bobble hat
And that happens to me as well. Yeah, that's very, very, very good question
So what you need to do is this rewind from taking your hat off
It comes when you've washed your hair and your hair is wet, you need to use a good blow dried product on your hair
whether it be in like a volume foam or you know what
you're going to tell me off here, but I don't use any products on my hair when I'm drying it and stuff
I really should because it, because when you wash your hair and it's soft
you haven't got that leeway with it, whereas you want a bit of tack in it. You know that if you go to the hairdresser
for a hair up, they always advise you not to wash it that that day or the pre wash it the previous night
Um Yeah, because then you've got a bit of tack in your hair so that when you take your hat off
yes, it's flat and you might have a bit of static. But when, if you've got the product in the base in there
you just give it a little bit of a woof like that and it will bring it back to life
Ok. What kind of product would you recommend? What would you recommend for me with my fine prawn to oiliness
Definitely like a dry product. So I used your hair and your hair
the label and the volume foam. I'm pointing over there some cases over there, the volume foam which is
yeah, um or like dry products because a lot of the products now on the shelves
they're all greasy, you know, like serums, but realistically you need more dry for
for, for style that's gonna last longer. You need dryer products because then again
you, it'll help with the greasiness. And so well, I know that sometimes if I use dry champagne
my hair is, like, fine the next day and it has loads more volume. Yeah, exactly
That's the problem I have though. It's like I say, if I use a one for dark hair
then I look like I've been down a mine and if I use one for
like, the normal white ones, then I look like I'm going gray. So
yeah, they're not ideal yet. Are they just try and like, really far away that are reborn
People talk highly about that. I could take some kind of texturizing spray
Oh, I've not, I'm not, I've not heard of that. Like, working from the salon
I, you know, I know. Exactly. But yeah, if you're here, I would go for like a light moose or like foam and Moses
these days when you think of moose. You think of like years ago
Moose? Like, so nineties? Yeah. But, um, no moos is now, you know
they're more like, like light foams as such. Yeah. So get, basically get a good base product on your hair so that when you
take your hat off and then the static will go and you can just literally just go like that and because your hair's got that
tack in it, it will stay gross. I'll see if I've got any more questions
I mean, my mom was asking any suggestions for easy styles for curly frizzy hair
But you said it's really difficult to see without, without seeing the hair
Yeah. Um Curly hair needs layers because curly hair, it's like a triangle
So it's like that it curls down here. So you always need a layer
but then there's a very fine line between a layer too much and it not being a nice hacker and you need your layers like
this sort of area because if you take too much from the bottom
you're gonna go like it's gonna go poofy which you don't want
Um Yeah, so, I mean, really without seeing your hair, I'm presuming it's
I don't know if you've got longer hair, you just definitely need a very light layer and always have a good product
I'll find like a souffle or like a very, very creamy wax
you know, even like your men's wax, but a very, very creamy one
you know, so almost like you've got like a cream in your hands just when it's not dry and it's not wet
So in the middle just scrunch it in and that, because that's what I do when I wear my hair
Curly. Yeah, because she had yours is naturally curly, isn't it? Yeah. Well, it's got a kink in so I have to blow dry it
straight or I have to give it the, you know, that and what I always do is I'd never get my hair as curly as
what yours is I just want to be straight. Like, even if somebody
like, because you've tried, tried to tell me how to curl it before and I still can't do it. But if somebody does it for
me, like, it just want to fall out immediately like your type of hair
But yeah, that's my advice. So, a nice creamy wax and I mean
very, very creamy, you know, like a moisturizer scrunch that in, um
when it's not dry, it's not wet right perfectly in the middle and just
you know, scrunch it, don't brush it in between washes, imperative because you just create more frizz
Yeah. So that's the one for curly really because it's difficult without seeing your hair as to what style to be fair
Well, I've just checked and there's no more questions. So let's have a look at the time
We'll leave it there because we'll just talk all day, won't we? Um So thank you very much for answering everybody's questions out my
