My Minimal Hair Care Routine

I've been getting more comments about my hair recently so I figured I would make a quick video talking about my zero waste and natural shampoo, conditioner, and styling hair care products (;

Also, I am sure multiple people will ask me about no poo as a result of this video so I will answer it now. I have never tried no poo but I do have intentions to try it in the future when I can go through the beginning process without having to be in professional meetings daily. After about 3 days of not washing my hair, it starts to have a less than pleasant smell so I'd rather not subject my coworkers to that (:

As per conditioner, YES. I also believe they do. I think for most "beauty" products actually. Fragrances and alcohol is just double alcohol.. Along with the other chemicals that dehydrate and damage your skin AND hair. Adding fragrance to conditioner is purposefully creating opposite effect. I am VERY picky about my hair products. I have naturally dry, wavy, blonde hair and I don't need it breaking off because someone needs to make a sale. Jussayin. 👐

Sort of on topic but where I live in new zealand there's a brand called Ethique and it's very local to me and they just started expanding and are selling in the US on amazon! All of their stuff is plastic free and vegan and I've used their stuff and it's pretty good so if you wanted to try other stuff I'd suggest them. Their sampler packs are very cute.

conditioner may not be as necessary for you but for curlier and wavier hair types its absolutely a necessity lol i wouldnt recommend trying giving it up unless you're on the straighter hair end of things (and even then if you have thicker hair it can still end up ridiculously dry)

[KathyTimpson]

My hair is super curly so I only use conditioner otherwise it will be imposible to detangle.. I don’t use shampoo, makes my hair get super dry and hard

[denise]

Ha! I haven't cut my hair in 6 years and people are always on me for not cutting it. I don't want to cut it dangit! Now I need to show them this video lol Thanks Shelby! Always love your videos 💚💙

[mollyf]

I completely argee with everything you said. Once you stop caring your life becomes simpler. I don't cut my hair often, barely brush/comb it, gave up conditioner years ago (I believe the conspiracy). My hair is in great shape.

I would LOVE it if you talked about receipts! As a wannabe zero waster, I feel like most of my trash is receipts. Most places I go automatically print them, and if I don't take it they just throw it away. I feel like no zero wasters talk about what they do with their receipts. I know we can't recycle them. Can we burn them and compost them? Is there something creative we can do with them? Idk it's just a topic that's been on my mind.

Wow rethinking the dying of my hair. Didnt care that it could harm me, the look of my hair was more important. But now that you pointed out that it harms the environment

[faeriesmak]

Hahaha..you are blessed with decent hair then. If I did those things my hair would be super bad. On a GOOD day I look like Hermione Granger...in the first Harry Potter movie. I use a cowash and then a leave in, gel, curl cream, and a hair oil. Everything is silicone and sulfate free, though.

Shelbi: there's no such thing as winter in Texas
Texas: hold my beer

Snow is in the forecast for Houston tonight 😂

God bless you Shelbi. Love this honest video of your haircare. Kept it simple. I have struggled so much with shampoos and conditioners most of my life, such a sensitive scalp. I am also in the process of Zero Waste lifestyle and looking at how to minimise hair care. I will my conditioner alone and see what my hair does. :)

[mickeysweets]

Hey girl! So for my hair I use the Shea moisture all natural shampoo. Some lush products do contain sulfates and I try to stay away from those. You are pretty close when it comes to your conspiracy theory. So basically most store bought shampoos have chemicals that strip your hair of its natural oils. Then they suggest adding on their conditioner to coat the hair in silicone chemicals to make it feel soft. But it is super heavy on your hair and weighs it down. It also can cause pollutants to be attracted to your hair. I haven't used a conditioner in almost two years and I always get compliments on my hair. I don't dye it anymore either. I just make sure my shampoos are sulfate and paraben free, eco-friendly, and have some sort of oil or moisture complex. Every once in awhile I will brush a little organic coconut oil through my hair. My hair is super thick though, so I do cut it. Otherwise I start getting headaches. It grows sooo fast lol. Well I hope this helped a bit. Peace, Love ❤ Mikayla from MA

Your platform on youtube really impacts people. Like keep doing this like FOREVERR ! KAY?

And im here trying youtube out struggling with content because im a full time student and work a part time job.

Hey Shelbi! I’ve been watching and really liking your videos! I appreciate how you are respectful of your viewers, saying things like this is what I do, and that is what I think, instead of dictating what others should do.

I definitely agree that not dying results in healthier hair. I colored my hair for ten years, stopped for seven, and more recently have started getting my hair highlighted again, kind of by accident... long story. I also keep my hair very long and kinda messy 😊

Personally, I think different hair textures need different things. I have to use conditioner because my hair is super dry (even without color) and frizzy. The products I use are all natural- no sulfates and no silicones. That makes a huge difference. Silicone conditioners can definitely make hair worse over time! I use products with brassica seed oil, which has smoothing properties similar to those of silicone. I love it! Without conditioner, I would not be able to get a wide toothed comb through my tangled mat of curls! I could probably go without shampoo tho.

This next thing I want to bring up is meant with the utmost of respect for you... when you used the word nappy to describe bad looking hair, I feel like that could be offensive to some people. I know people who use that term proudly to describe their hair texture, and probably wouldn’t like the negative connotation it had here. Maybe you could choose a different word in the future.

Love and peace to you. Happy December! Thank you for vlogmas. I’m really learning a lot, and I’m definitely going to be buying those bamboo toothbrushes for my partner!

I have very similar hair to yours and I’ve been using lush bar shampoo and bar conditioner and have been less than happy with the conditioner. I showered today and only shampooed because of your video and so far I’m really impressed!

[Veroreadsbooks]

I've been using a shampoo bar and apple cider vinegar for conditioner and my hair has never been nicer 😊

[katiewink]

your hair always looks so beautiful! <3

[ritazou]

My mom is a retired hairdresser so I can basically get a haircut anytime for free!as for the rest same! Shampoo bar, no conditioner, former hair dye addict tried every color ( for free of course)now the less I do to my hair the better, I'm so lazy 😂

[kristinamarie]

Relaxers and perms are also very very toxic to ones health and hair. I used to get those chemicals put on my head but I stopped that and now wear my hair naturally curly and my hair has never been healthier! I also don’t put any heat on my hair

My mother used to have a pharmacy about 20 years ago. I will never forget when the guy that sold the hair dye told her “If women knew what they are putting in their heads they would never do it again”
