“I find that a lot of people don't know how to use a comb properly.”

“Your hair has done so much for you - so much for your confidence and so much for your personality. Give it a little love! Show it how you love it back!”

“Curl creams are typically packed with hydrating ingredients and oils to moisturize hair and tame frizz.”

“Purple shampoo is designed with violet pigments that latch onto the surface of your hair to help minimize the appearance of yellow or brassy tones on hair. hen the natural yellow in blonde hair is covered by the violet pigment, it gives you a more neutral, or even ash tone, as a result.”

“If you're confident enough to receive negative feedback on a look you try, you did it right. Who cares? Wear whatever you want. Do whatever you want to your hair.”

“Traditionally, cheaper hair products contain higher amounts of lower quality silicones that can cause build up on the hair. I think everyone has seen viral videos of scraping silicones off your hair, but in actuality, they are actually scraping the healthy cuticle off the hair.”

“When I was younger I forced my dad - who was a hairstylist as well - to bleach my hair blonde, then even blonder, then I dyed it back to black two days later and it went green. I had to shave my head and it was the worst experience, but I learned a lot and I think it honestly made me a better hairdresser.”

“I always stuck out, was the one wearing crazy outfits to school, always colored my hair different colors.”

“Even somebody with good hair can always make their hair a little bit better.”

“I love the punk aesthetic.”

“I see a lot of girls going in with their fingernails. Again, I know it feels great, but you're going to ruin your hair. Just chill, gently rub your head side to side with your shampoo.”

“I think it's important to remember that your hair is dead as soon as the follicle leaves the scalp. So if it's damaged by straighteners or products you can't 'heal' it with leave-in treatments. Those treatments will give it the appearance of shine immediately after but won't be long-lasting.”

“I've worked in several very high-end salons around the city and worked on my own private clients, and now I'm a YouTuber, I have my own hair-care company.”

“I feel like I have my MBA in business at this point. And it's just insane how far I've come with learning about how to run a business and how to have employees and how to be a boss and how to be an effective manager.”

“If you're trying to get your hair to like, a very silver blonde, that's when a toner comes in. People will bleach their hair and leave it like that, or they'll use purple shampoo. People just don't use it right.”

“Red is so annoying. If you've ever had red hair, you know what I'm talking about.”

“I never got any offers from companies to start my own line, so I was like, 'I'm going to create my own line.' I nearly bit off more than I could chew. It was just so scary.”

“Heavier hold gels will maintain a style for longer, but can produce stiffer results that need to be broken up or shaken out to feel softer. They can also be used with a curl cream for maximum results.”

“Silicones are made from silica, which is derived from sand. There are different types of silicones, some that are better than others. Generally speaking, silicones are not harmful for the hair and are an amazing ingredient to get the smoothest, shiniest hair possible.”

“I've seen some videos where you can tell that the person did not want to ruin their hair and they're distraught over it - that's when I get sad about it.”
