The thickness of your hair is different to the texture. Fine hair is the texture, and the thickness is determined by the amount of hairs you have. I have fine, thick hair, because I have a lot of hair.

I haven't finished the video yet but I just wanted to add if you buy product at the salon you're also supporting your hair stylist. My hair stylist is a good friend of mine so it's important to me to support my friends! I've had bleached hair for a super long time and lately I've noticed my hair getting drier as it's getting more wavy so I definitely need a refresh

Yes pleaseeee I’ve been trying to get my hair to a white-gray platinum! I’d love to hear recommendations for toners, and tips on how to tone evenly

I’ve been sleeping with a silk bonnet for about three months now and it absolutely makes a difference! Especially for those of us who only wash once a week. My hair stays nice and smooth for days now

when you mentioned that your hair matts up in the back. I have to loosely braid my daughters hair at night for hers to not do that. she has hair to her waist. I may go out and get her a silk pillow case for it as well.

Yes your hair looks so amazing! I can’t wait to hear your tips!!!

Yyyaaayyyy!!! 🙏THANK YOU for this! I STILL go back and reference your older video's on your hair for great advice.💜🖤

Thank you so much for sharing all of this info! So helpful. I love all of your hair vids. Your hair is gorgeous.

Hey ghoul hey! Love to hear people talk about hair care. This video makes my little hairdresser heart so so happy! A++ on all your tips and great product recommendations. Sometimes as a hair dresser I feel like I'm beating a dead horse and it's in one ear and out the other. Love to hear other people spreading the hair love.

Bums me out when people turn down products because they think their stylist is trying to sell them things they don't need! There's a reason hair looks so good when leaving the salon!! Also thank you so much for the compliments and such positive feedback!! Appreciate ya!! 🖤🖤🖤

Wow, some of those are game changers for me! I had no clue! Thank you so much for this! 💗

Hello Jade!! This was so helpful thank you for making this video!

Thanks for the hair tips!! Looking forward to your bleach/toning video!! 🖤

HEY a lot of this advice is GREAAAT advice. and as a stylist it makes me SO HAPPY to see you giving GOOD advice !! love u!

Hey ghoul hey! Thank you so much for this video, I really am struggling with keeping my hair healthy. I went blonde (with professional help) a little over a year ago with the ultimate goal of getting a color similar to yours. After a few disappointing sessions with my last stylist, paying way too much for minimal change and never getting to that color (it was like natural blonde and the stylist said it was the color I wanted), I gave up and am seeing a new gal Saturday. I really appreciate you taking the time to talk about your routine and I'm really looking forward to the video about toners and how you keep your hair that color! Thank you again!

Thanks for sharing ghoul friend! Definitely wanna try one of those water softeners!

I LOVE the Tangle teaser and the Wet Brush! I use both and it makes such a difference.

Omgggg I struggle with purple shampoos too! I am so pumped!!! Thank you for this video!!!

This really helped me!!! I’m trying to start getting my hair healthier and I didn’t really know where to start and this really gave me a jumping point.

Thanks for the tips ghoul 🖤 I recently chopped my hair from chest length to almost chin length. Just eagerly waiting for it to grow! I've already had an inch of growth in less than a month 🎃

I toned my hair way too dark last night. Normally my hair is silver and now it’s purple grey and was on your channel looking for an updated hair care video and sure enough here it is now lol

Hey ghoul, hey! Awesome tips. I also cringed along with you as you spoke about the scrubbing & towel rubbing, it's chills up & down the spine. I am also ready for the pillow cases or one of those options, I just have not invested yet. However I will say that a loose and I do mean very loose braid or multi braids is helpful. Great video!

thanks for the tips!! will definitely be trying these. i’m a bleach ghoul myself so i’m just curious if you do your own hair and what products you like to use. also any helpful techniques. i have some color banding and it bugs the hell out of me...want to fix it & avoid that in the future

Definitely try silk bonnet! I started with silk pillow case and that helped but silk bonnet made an instant difference :D

Insane you read my mind b/c yesterday I was binge watching your videos cuz they are my fav & I kept thinking about your hair & you maintain it & all that & then i see this vid🤭🥺🖤

The maintenance is definitely the hardest part cuz no matter what way you slice it you're a slave to your roots every 6 weeks (or however long in between bleaching)! It's the only thing that has made me consider going back, but every time I have fresh roots I agree, it's addictive!!! With fresh roots it's like I'M ALIIIIIIVE!!! hahah!! 🖤🖤

I Love your color. Youve inspired me so much! Not just for hair, but to embrace the goul that i am and not care so much what the people in my life think so much. Ive toned fown my style for decades and im suffocating. I've turned a new leaf and am now being my authentic self. Thank you for being so badass. Im almost there with my hair goal. Please share with me the toner and products you use to get your hair so white with hints of silver?. Im getting olaplex 5 for helping. I used wen too. I have joico purple shampoo and coditioner. I tried the silver kera clenditioner. Didnt really help all that well. Im soo close. I need a toner. Just letting hair rest and recover a week or so. Please help a goul out!

Olaplex was my favorite tip. I'm headed to get some asap! By the way your hair is beautiful!

You and I have very similar hair. I struggled with taking care of it for the longest time! I have very fine, weak hair and my hair is also about 4 1/2 feet long. I use boars hair brushes, and after washing I use my fingers and detangle. I don't ever use knobby brushes, like the brushes with the little knobs on the end of the bristles, maybe you have issues with them too. If they even come near my hair, it will snarl around them and need to be cut out, but everyone loves them so I'm very cautious with what is used on my hair!!! I love the Ion Repair series of hair products. They have a foaming protein that is really nice.

I’m definitely going to look into the Function of Beauty! I’m currently using Joico purple shampoo and conditioner and I like them. I also use the Olaplex 3 and have the whole line I’m bleached so I try to only wash once or twice a week because my hair is SO thin and fine!! I had a ton of breakage from a few years ago when a girl did my hair and left the bleach on too long and the top was mush when she rinsed it out! I was devastated!! It’s finally growing out and is almost even again!

This video is really helpful for me because I am loving my white hair. It's bleached, of course and I want to maintain it. ❤

Very helpful! I recently put some hot pink in my hair after having super long virgin hair for a loooooong time! Trying to take extra good care of it now!

Thank you! ❤️🥰

Thank you for great tips, some of them I already do, but some were new to me :) I have really fine hair too and I find that I shampoo and condition as usual, including a mask once a week, then I do my second shampoo last and it's stopped my hair being weighed down by the conditioner and it gives me actual volume too! X

You're living my monochromatic dream 😍😆 I love how white and platinum you're hair is 😍 how'd you do it 😆 I'm planning on dying my hair silver for my birthday, do you have any tips on how to care for hair after a sort of intense change like that? 🥰 I'm a sort of a cherry red currently, hair is curly and pretty darn frizzy 🤪

As a cosmetology student, this video makes my heart happy ♥️

I do a lot of this! For years I would wash and blow dry my hair just about every day and then use a flat iron on it. I used crappy products and didn't use heat protectors. I tried to years to get my hair to grow out but didn't realize I was frying it. Oh, I also used box dyes on it. Anyway, about six or seven years ago, I did some serious research on how to grow my hair and totally changed how I treat it. I started using shampoos and conditioners without sulfates, silicones, waxes, and parabens and started letting it air dry most of the time. I also got a diffuser...I had no idea I had curly hair! When I started that journey, my hair was barely past my shoulders. Now it's past my waist, has lots of curls and I can go nearly a week before it needs to be washed. I also use a satin pillowcase and will sometimes put it up at night, but since I don't move around much when I'm sleeping I usually just put it up above my head on the pillow. I also use a microfiber towel and a hair turban. It was definitely a journey but it was SO worth all the hard work!

From someone who has long bleached hair too, these tips are great! I follow closely the same! 👍🏻🖤

Also you should use the cold shot on your hairdryer once it's dry! it helps reseal the hair cuticle! (tip literally from my hair course)

Hi! Yeah, I would really like to know about your toner. Thanks :)

I wouldn't recommend using it right before applying fashion colors - I haven't had any bad luck with it but some people say it doesn't take as well when put on right before color, so I use it after I color my hair!!

Hi Jade. I’ve been using Function of Beauty on my hair for over a year. I love it. My hair is longer than yours and super thick. It’s great. 💜 I also agree with two wash cycles, Olaplex is a must! So is a Turbie Twist towel. The other thing I would recommend is to rinse your hair with cool water. It closes the cuticle and makes my hair so fluffy and soft. My friends actually asked me how I get it that way. That’s my trick to share. Thanks for making this video. Brushing it from bottom to top is a huge tip and saves from breakage. I also love my detangler brush. Amazing tool. Invest in your hair everyone. It’s so worth it. So is a satin pillow case. No more knots at the nape of my neck. 😁⭐️👻

Hey girl 👧, would you PLEASE do a video on your favorite liquid lipsticks, and also favorite fall makeup palates . I’m having difficulty finding a palate to pull off the perfect Halloween orange eyes ! Thanks

About 11:00 -yeah, as someone else with long hair, I noticed that "shampoo, rinse, shampoo again, conditioner" can be a bit of a saver. Granted, I think it's only necessary if you shampoo 2×/wk, MAX. (Yeah, 1×/wk Max is what's necessary for most people, but I've got hell of psoriasis on my scalp, so the medication build-up can be an issue. So I aim for every 4-5days.) Also a HUGE fan of the Tangle Teezer brush!

I love the Olaplex 6 leave in. Saved my hair after over processed highlights.

Hey Ghoul Hey! I have wavy hair now but as a kid I had straight hair. When I hit puberty is when it became wavy. Now I’m 45 in perimenopause and my hair is about half as thick as it use to be. I’m sad about it but my neck doesn’t hurt anymore when I put it in a ponytail. I wash my hair about 3x a week and it sheds like crazy in the shower. BTW the tubshroom has saved my pipes from being clogged with hair. I’m not enjoying this part of the aging process. I’ll take any other suggestions on how to improve my hair situation. Thanks! 🎃

I have such fine hair and in ten years it’s not been cut as it just grows to my shoulders and snaps xx I always blamed years of dyeing and back combing xx but thank you so much for this video I have bought olaplex now and hopefully I will get some improvement xx 🖤

Highly recommended loosely braiding your hair at night as well! It helps smooth the cuticle and keeps it from breaking off

thank u for this video !! i’ve been trying to get a good hair care routine because i’m trying to grow mine out. i’m wondering if the brand Amika is a good brand to use ? 💓

I'm honestly going to use a lot of the tips here.

My hair is sooooo BAD! My hair is thinning and its breaking. I will be doing a lot of these tips! Thank you :)

Great hair care tips! How often do you recommend people with color treated and/or bleached hair wash their hair? When I color my hair I wash it at least 2 times a week. When I'm just bleaching I was it every day. Also, is there a cheaper brand of purple shampoo for brassiness you could recommend for those of us on a budget? Thank you

Hey ghoul hey! love your length. My hair is so thick it hurts my head the longer it gets :( Beautiful color! Will definitely ne trying some of your tips!

Currently in the process of growing out my natural haircolour and no more bleaching to white blonde.. I really admire you that your hair looks so amazing! But I just couldn't do it anymore.. It's better now, I cut it a lot and it's not perfect yet but at least it's not disgusting anymore. I want waist long hair but the last 7-10 centimeters I still need to reach that goal.. Are the absolute hardest quest for me haha Nipples length yes, no problem but below that always gets super thin and I can't stand to look at it. Proeblaby gonna dye it back to brown next month, digging the natural look rn. Now on to watching the video. Btw I've been binge watching your Halloween decor series this year haha it's amazing so entertaining! 🎃🦇💜💜 Edit: satin hair bonnets for bed are amazing, they smoothen the hair and take out a bit of frizz too, I can really recommend💜

My hair was sooo damaged. It was fried from bleaching to the point it took all night to dry from a shower. I went to a salon to get it it back to a natural ombré so I could leave it alone and it literally didn’t hold the color they put in, and took over an hour for them to blow dry because it just suctioned the water in so much. It was a MESS. But finally, four loooong years later, the last of the blond that I had has finally been trimmed out of my ends and I have dye-free healthy virgin hair again! Edit: actually, my profile pic was taken right after I got a successful ombrée put in after a second attempt with the hair dresser lol

Super helpful! I am going to get a tangle teaser, satin raunchier AND try your favorite towel wraps! That was probably the most helpful tip-it makes sense that wrapping my hair in a huge towel would be bad for it yet I do it! 😆 😭
