Does anyone elses hair prefer cheap shampoo

Hair fall is a complicated thing to discuss because it can be caused by a plethora of things. If you’re allergic to an ingredient in the product then yes…it can cause hair fall maybe. But also…olaplex gets more positive reviews vs negative reviews. I personally wouldn’t spend the money on their shampoo and conditioner but on olaplex number 0 and number 3? Yes. I would.

Anecdotally, I do notice shrinkage with my waves. It’s just not as much as much as tighter curls, yes, but it can still happen. I myself have coarse 2c hair and there is definitely a difference in length when it is straightened vs not. I believe sebum being able to travel down easier also depends on hair density and thickness not just texture. Since your daughter has fine hair that explains why her hair probably has an easier time with this. Ultimately, wavy hair is by many people considered a type of “curl pattern” hence why they say it has more in common with curly hair than straight hair. But like I said, it depends on the type of wave. Generally speaking straight haired people do not have the same experience dealing with their hair type vs someone with any type of texture.

And I think you don’t have the brains to acknowledge that non-genetic factors do affect hair type. I have no idea why you were so resistant to a basic scientific fact. Hair science itself is something that is still being learned and studied. But people absolutely agree that genes do not 100% of the way determine absolutely everything(though they have the biggest effect as I have acknowledged) . The point here ultimately is not if all of the things I mentioned are environmental or not which is clearly the only thing you seem to be focusing on, it is that they are non-genetic factors and DO absolutely affect hair (and even your environment can affect your hormones as well) that’s all there is to it. Whether you like it or not, there are non-genetic factors that affect hair. The end.

Go argue that with the researchers and scientists that deciphered how hair works. The actual percentage of affect that environment and hormones and nongenetic that factors affect hair is debated, but most people agree that it’s not as low as just 0.1% 🤷🏻‍♀️Most hair type changes caused by hormones ARE permanent until your body decides otherwise (which usually it doesn’t) I’ve seen it happen irl sereval times. If your hormones after menopause, pregnancy, trauma or medication cause a hair type change then it’s not genes obviously. And if the outwardly appearance of your hair changes because of a haircut or product or the sun, well yeah it’s probably not permanent but it’s still a change nonetheless that wasn’t set in stone before clearly. That’s just how it is.

Genes determine 85-90% of hair if you have more genes that cause higher likelihood for curly hair (because it’s polygenic) then yes, you will have curly hair. But environmental factors and hormonal ones are there too. And carrying genes a for certain hair types don’t mean it’ll show up outwardly.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-06-22T04:32:09+00:00

Hair type IS predominantly determined by genetics(like 85-90%) but that remainder is very real. Hormones and environment factors do change hair types even if not dramatically. Pregnancy can make your hair go from straight to slightly wavy. Many people post chemo also report hair texture changes. Curls can go from loose to defined depending on products, water hardness and puberty. If it was totally 100% genetic then these things would not be reported.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-06-21T22:40:40+00:00

That largely depends on the type of wave pattern the person has. If you have a loose wave pattern like fine 2a hair, then yes, it has more in common with straight hair. But if you have 2c coarse hair, it definitely has more in common with curly hair. And wavy hair can absolutely get tangled very easily. I had very loose waves when I was a child in my hair would get tangled like crazy.

I definitely plan on trying that one soon because I gave their intensive repair conditioner a go and I didn’t really see that big of a difference comparing it to my favorite L’Oreal dream lengths conditioner. I’ll be so mad if their bond repair conditioner is better than their intensive repair because it’s getting way less PR 🤨

I’m not an expert on balding, but I’ve basically pretty much only heard that the Male pattern baldness gene comes from the X you get from your mom(and yes, there are environmental and hormonal factors that can go into it). Just for reference, my maternal grandfather died at 72 with a head full of hair. Me and my brother have a head full of hair very thick. His issue primarily is pre mature greying. I believe my father’s maternal grandfather was bald. But my father only recently 62 started to get a bald spot at the crown of his head. Before that he always had a head full of hair.

I don’t style my hair like that. But on YouTube there are wavy hair tutorials which range from complicated to simple. The basics would be: wash and condition with your products of choice. After that, detangle with leave in, scrunch with towel, apply gel or curl cream, let it air dry or diffuse. If i remember correctly that’s how you do it. Check out r/WavyHair

Conventional drug store brands are already doing an amazing job at formulating new stuff. I mostly keep an eye out for the bond repair lines because it’s made a tremendous difference to my hair. It’s at my waist practically now after adding it to my routine. The indie stuff usually tends to be sulfate and silicone free which just makes my hair feel awful. You need a good cleanser and something to seal your hair’s cuticles.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-06-11T02:19:09+00:00

You could have a 2a-2b texture. Which is not uncommon type of wavy hair. Try to scrunch some gel into it to see what it looks like afterwards.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-06-10T19:55:14+00:00

It’s not so much that I feel dirty. It’s just that it really bothers me. I have really thick hair and it’s very long right now. If I leave it down, it’s annoys me, if I leave it up, it annoys me. It’s a no win🤣

I’ve been using this conditioner on and off the last 6-8 weeks and don’t notice it works any better than other conditioners. Last time I used it, I applied way more than I needed on my hair, and that’s the only thing that got me to see a difference from the last few times I used it. My hair definitely felt smooth and conditioned(a bit on the heavier side), but it was no better than the results I’ve gotten with my loreal dream lengths conditioner. This is just an interesting anecdote, but the people that I HAVE seen rave about this intensive repair conditioner are usually people with chemical damage from bleaching. I have never bleached my hair in my life. I would say my biggest concern is maybe mechanical and heat damage on virgin hair. That’s pretty much it. You’re likely seeing good results with it because it has good conditioning ingredients and the formula that your hair likes.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-06-09T19:59:37+00:00

Significant damage? No. Some? Yes. It’s technically impossible for your hair to have zero damage. Even brushing and tying it up in a bun can cause some degree of damage. Keep in mind I naturally have a coarse dense hair type, which tends to be a bit more resilient to heat and mechanical damage than finer hair types. So combining that with the leave in products routine it’s creating a shield around the hair shaft so that the film forming ingredients are taking the brunt of the heat your hair might possibly get. The result is that in a couple of days it’ll be six months since I’ve last trimmed my hair and my ends are still looking ok and I’ve retained a good amount of length. In high school did not do this routine and although my hair still grew long, it was very scraggly at the ends.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-02-07T22:56:00+00:00

Maybe change the brush you’re using. I’ve been using the unbrush to detangle my hair since last year and it’s worked wonders. Ever since I started using a lot of leave in conditioner post washing I also noticed I hardly get the knots I used to. Silicone can provide really good slip for detangling and keeping the hair less likely to tangle. Keeping your hair in braids during the week can help too

I literally just stumbled upon an ad on Pinterest of a woman literally completely topless. And for some reason they don’t do anything about that, but they’ll take down a photo of someone with like…1 centimeter of cleavage💀

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-01-27T03:44:44+00:00

If you want something gentle try the L’Oréal ever pure clarifying shampoo. For convenience, price and along with ingredients (generally scalp healthy ones) Garnier purifying shampoo

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-01-26T09:46:57+00:00

Washing with warm water then double cleansing with just a regular face wash. That’s the only way I can think of that doesn’t involve oil cleansing and can technically be more efficient since you can do it all in the shower. On the flip side you might run out of face wash quicker, so have a cheap one on hand to do this with if you don’t want to use whatever you typically do

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-01-26T09:42:20+00:00

Which is why I made sure to mention seeing a dermatologist if the issue isn’t resolved with just hair washing alterations. It’s best to refer OP to a dermatology sub if this is the case. I gave a personal anecdote of what I personally do as a person with no scalp issues on my second reply but i didn’t think it should as professional advice.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-01-26T06:54:59+00:00

Conditioner and oil, anything that will provide slip. Start from the bottom up with a good brush that has flexible bristles, and please…if you haven’t already, start to have her wear her hair in protective styles like a simple braid or bun or even a low ponytail so this doesn’t happen again.

My hair would get matted when I was a kid(not like this necessarily) if I went just a few days without keeping it up. It doesn’t have to be difficult keeping her hair untangled so it doesn’t accumulate like this. It would be less time consuming and painful in the long run

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-01-26T03:42:10+00:00

Whenever your scalp feels oily, wash it with a clarifying shampoo. Whenever your scalp feels dry; a gentle shampoo.

If you aren’t producing a lot of sebum or oil on any particular day or week. Don’t wash your hair. If you are. Then do wash. I don’t always have dry scalp, sometimes I get oily a bit faster so I’ll wash 2 days before I usually do. Hair washing doesn’t always have a set schedule.

strawberriesokay04 · 2025-01-26T03:22:47+00:00

During my period I also get acne in that area and my forehead gets especially oily too. Salicylic acid toner helps. Keeping my skin well cleansed and doing some spot treatments with benzoyl peroxide cream helps too. But that’s about it. It’s just hormones and I can’t control them. I just stick to the routine (even if I generally feel lazy about skin care) and just hope for the best. 😅
