Good advice there, but I won't be buying his luxury products :) So expensive!

I didn't even Google the products to see if they were in the UK for pretty much the same reason!

“You never should use a comb on hair that is wet. It’s very stressing on the hair.”

There's where I break that "rule". ;) I use a WT comb when my hair is out of its towel and before styling, last combing session before leaving it alone for an entire week.

“You should use only about a teaspoon and then you emulsify that with water.”

And another "rule" broken. I wash with 3 globs of shampoo (top, back, 2 sides). I have both SD and thick hair, so need to be able to distribute it through the hair well.

All in all, sounds as if he was about first with co-washing and such.

Very interesting.

It's not so much as a right way to wash hair as a good method to washing straight to wavy hair. He does later on mention cowashing and non sulphate shampoo for curly hair but that's not the main thing he's talking about. Step 1 for me would be detangle wet hair with fingers if deciding to use a comb afterwards gently start combing from hair ends first. He does make a good point about people not rinsing out products properly.

Or people not washing enough. I can't say how many wasn 'n go's I've watched on YT where people don't wash their napes under the shower. While standing up, they put shampoo on top of their heads and "let the suds travel down". Yeah, but... but, you do have to put shampoo over your entire scalp. :rolleyes:
