This ingredient saved my hair

I really loved the part where Michelle said "Hair is literally just water. You can all quote me on this, I've spent too long staying quiet on this issue and I'm sick of it."

😂 "As healthy as dead cells can feel"

As an Australian, the national pride I feel when I watch your videos is high. One of the best YouTubers on the platform for sure!

I just started using silicones again after you mentioned in a previous video they're protectants, and suddenly the amount of hair I shed in the shower has dramatically reduced. Thank you for explaining all this stuff!

Is anyone here old enough to remember the Infusium 23 line of hair care? Their leave in hair conditioner worked like an absolute miracle - every time. Come to learn Amodimethicone is second on the ingredient list along with some other impressive ingredients too.

Curly girl here, just a tip for applying leave in conditioners, it helps if you add water to them. If I didnt add water, I'd need like a whole handful, but by adding water to my palms as I apply, I only use about a 20 cent piece worth of product. Its a bit annoying to have to wet your hair but once you figure out the right amount for your hair, you can get away with using just enough to help spread the product but not so much that you saturate your hair. In the past, I have added it to a spray bottle of water, but I found I had less control that way and my hair ended up a lot wetter.

I've been waiting forever for you to talk about haircare ever since you last mentioned it, because you're probably the only evidence-based beauty content creator that has the same hair profile and issues I do. 🥺 Thank you for this. Please run me down your products that you like for your scalp issues too please. You made a short one before but I'd love a deep dive.

For a drugstore wash-off conditioner option available in many countries: L'Oreal (Elvital / Elvive / Elseve, depending on the language) Rapid Reviver. Amodimethicone is 3rd ingredients in the ingredients list. And for a drugstore leave-on spray: Pantene 3 second gloss (sometimes called 7 in 1 miracle oil spray in some countries) also has it in 3rd. It's one of the rare things that conditions without weighing down my very thin hair, just leave them super shiny and supple.

Thanks for talking about silicones, I have very sensitive skin and I have had huge success with skincare products that have silicones and it’s frustrating to see all silicones demonized by clean beauty.

YES!!!!! I WOULD LOVE A VIDEO ABOUT INGREDIENT LISTS!!!!!!! Please talk about fragrance as well. I have sensitive skin, and I’m at the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t get so hung up about whether a product has essential oils/parfum/fragrance because they’re everywhere 🫠🫠🫠

For those with fragrance allergies like me I absolutely love the Philip Kingsley no scent no colour conditioner, amodimethicone is the 3rd ingredient. The Philip Kingsley elasticizer deep conditioner is also fragrance free with amodimethicone but further down on the ingredients list. For something cheaper (at least in the US and available at Target) the ultra sensitive conditioner by Odele has amodimethicone as the 5th ingredient.

Looks like I'll be using dry shampoo tomorrow because although I'm out of shampoo I'm not buying another bottle until I watch this. I swear I would have been a better student in high school and college if I had teachers who made learning complex concepts as easy and enjoyable as you do. Looking forward to reading your book!

This is why I hated the idea of needing chemistry 1&2 and organic chemistry 1&2 for my nursing pre-requisites and now I’m so fascinated by it I may be going into investigation. Excellent content 😎

I’ve been using TRESemmé Biotin+Repair MASK for over 4 years - it also contains Amodimethicone (in the beginning of the ingredients list!)❤ This brand is easily found in Europe. I also love shampoo from Biotin+Repair line.

My bachelors in chemistry but i haven’t done any research and i went away from it after years .every time i watch your videos you inspire me to open my organic chemistry books again and start over

2:06 I would love to see more on this ingredient vs formula... debate? Dunno how to call it. I think you've briefly talked about this in previous videos but I'd love to know more about the actual chemistry behind and how different ingredients together have different effects!

after a YEAR of trying to smooth and hydrate my hair, your reskin recommendation did the trick, it was a noticeable improvement after just one use. i don't even have colored hair. thank you so much for explaining things and making your content. do you plan to make content about hair removal? would love to hear about ingrown hairs from shaving/waxing. or do you have any recommendations on channels that cover those topics?

Mentos and Tic-Tacs used as units of measurement? I love it!

I do love the evidence-based way you look at things, and that you explain it so well. My favourite amodimethicone-containing conditioner is the Function of Beauty hair mask I use
