Hey Guys!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My weekend was pretty good! I stayed in pretty much and indulged in some of my favorite cake yesterday! I did a lot of online shopping this weekend too so Im really excited for my packages to come! Maybe I can show you guys some of the goodies that I got
Ive been really looking to change my wardrobe up now that its colder outside.. Ive been really into dark colors and leather and dark smokey eyes.. kinda gothic haha
Anyways, I dont want to get off topic.. but this video was requested after I did my “How to Wash Your Hair Properly” Video.. which I will link –>> HERE <<--- for those of you who havent seen it!
I get a lot of people telling me that conditioner makes their hair flat and weighs their hair down.. Ive also had people tell me that conditioner makes their hair fall out! That can TOTALLY happen with conditioner if you use too much and if youre not using it the right way!
Conditioner is meant to “CONDITION” and smooth your hair.. so the key to applying it is to only apply it on the midshaft and ends of the hair. Its not necessary to apply conditioner onto your scalp or newgrowth hair because that hair is FRESH HEALTHY NEWBORN hair! It doesnt need conditioning! The midshaft and ends of your hair are the parts of the hair shaft that get the most damaged because theyre many years old! Especially if your hair is long!
So what you need to do is rub the conditioner between your hands and get it inbetween your fingers, and then start at your midshaft of the hair and apply it onto the midshaft and ends. You can apply whatever is left over on your fingers to your scalp, but you do NOT need to apply a lot more on your scalp.
The technique is the same for when youre applying conditioner in the shower, or after your shower. Like I said in my haircare routine video, I like to apply conditioner AFTER the shower and not in the shower. Its just a preference of mine
I hope you guys enjoyed that video! Let me know if there are any other basic how-to’s that youd like to see!
LOVE YOU!
Besos<3

running like anything to post first whohoooooooooooooo
OMG! I’m so lucky today , I made the first post ;
Ha ha ha !
I love you too baby!!! finally you got first post!!!! so exciting!!
Great Video Farah. Always the best… I have couple questions;
Do you know how to get rid of small knots in the hair?
Also, what do you do for facial hair. Coming from middle east I actually am tired of being hairy..lol I don’t want to do waxing as it pulls the skin. threading?
BTW the bold lips tip worked great.
As always keep making great videos and be happy. God Bless you and your loved ones.
Love,
Sahreen
Hi sweetheart! thank you! Small knots can easily be taken out gently with a small comb starting fro mthe bottom.. and for facial hair threating is awesome! Waxing causes premature aging so stick to threading! Im so happy to hear the lip trick worked
XO! <3 love, Farah
I was kinda glad u did this cos i do my conditioner the same way yaaay. Thank you
:):)
Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see your next video
thats awesome! thank you hunnie! XO!
Yay!
great vid. I’ve also been doing this for a long time and it makes such a huge difference in adding more body to hair and not weighing it down, as well as reducing hair fall by like a thousand percent!.. Please do a video on all the different methods of applying foundation and which one is best. Thanks for all your awesome videos! <3
you’re right it makes a huge difference in body! Ouuu that would be a great idea! thank you! xo
hey..
I’m kind of in a trouble in here. I can’t find peppermint oil in the stores from where I’m staying now. But I did find tea tree oil. Is there any way I could use that ? The guy at the shop said its good to clear skin & blemish marks. So I’m not sure about using it in hair. I need advice.. please..
tea tree oil is great to put on your scalp as well! its very invigorating! xo
omg… you replied?!! farah actually replied to me… !!!!!! wow.. I’m doing a victory dance over here.. wowwww!!! I can’t believe it yet.. oh honey… can I use tea tree oil instead of peppermint oil in the almond oil deep conditioning..? would that be okay ? love you dear.. your videos make my day…!
Salam beautiful sis, I never use conditioner on my hair but after seeing this I will start, videos for sensitive skin care plzzz, what do you say about using fem herbal bleach I thread my sides but can’t do the whole face as I have sensitive acne prone skin, need your assistance, keep smiling!! Every time I watch your videos I have a big smile on my face now matter how down I am coz you are such a sweet person. Luv you!!!!!
Walaikum Salaam darling! you must put a conditioner, whether its a leave in conditioner or one in the shower.. my favorite is the rosemary one that I use but I only use that on days where I am not styling my hair
.. Ive never heard of fem herbal bleach ill look into it! you are so sweet thank you so much for telling me i put a smile on your face! that just made my night! XO LOVE YOU!
I have asked this question to you a few times now on your YT videos but I guess with thousands of comments its hard to respond to all. But I also tweeted you. Oh Well!
Which company makes that curved paddle brush that you use? Where did you buy it? It seems to be perfect for your head’s shape
Hi hunnie! Sorry I do get lots of comments on all my social media and I try to respond to as many as i can
The curved paddle brush that I use, I got from sephora and its called the Kertain Complex Curved Vent Brush.. Im not sure if its available at sephora anymore but amazon has it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00684F6JW/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=1278548962&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B003ZVUUOC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0D50245ZCYWBAPZH7GCH

Hi, wondering if you can please clarify. For you 1 week process do you “condition” your hair on Day 1 and Day 3, basically your shampoo days? And what shampoo/conditioner do you use? Thanks for your videos love them!
Hi hunnie yes the conditioner is used on shampoo days.. but, when im not styling my hair, I just use my rosemary treatment as a conditioner
the shampoo I use is called matrix colorcaretherapie delicate care shampoo and the leave in conditioner that I use is by Rusk Sensories Passion Flower and Aloe
XO!
Hey Farah, I live in the US and I went looking all over the place for the shampoo you mentioned. But I could find every other Matrix shampoo (with parabens and other mean ingredients) but not this particular one that you mention. I must’ve gone to around 6 salons looking for it. I’m wondering if Matrix has discontinued it though it continues to show it on its website?!
Thank you so very much for this video Farah! It is absolutely helfpful! Love you loads. Muuaaahhhhhh!! God Bless!!
my pleasure my darling!!!!! love you too!! XO!
where did u get your barbie shirt?
forever 21
its a pyjama set xo
hey farah…nice videos…i had a question.. do u apply leave in conditioner on wet hair or after it has dried up a lil?? plus how can we get rid of ingrow hairs on hands & legs after waxing??
omg… u replied.. Farah actually replied to me!!!! I’m so excited… thank you honey.. u just made my day..! but I would like to know something.. can i use tea tree oil instead of peppermint oil in the almond oil deep conditioning treatment ? would that work just the same ?
hey m 25 n have dry n frizzy hair … what should i do…? please reply asap…
Hey Farah,
Thank you for all the good work you do! I’ve been using the Rosemary treatment that you recommend. But i remember that in the video (rosemary tutorial) you mentioned that the rosemary in water solution can be kept for 2 weeks. What happens to it if its kept for more than 2 weeks? Does it spoil and become harmful to the scalp?
On another note, I think you are one of the most amazing person I have come across! I’m so surprised that anyone can be so good and giving at such a young age. Generally, it takes almost 3 decades of living on this planet before people make some serious changes to their life that make them nice and likeable (and for some its a lifelong process). But you are already such a good human being. Much love to you.
Hi Farah! Helpful video! Will take everything u said into consideration. Also, my hair has thinned considerably compared to about 3-5 yrs ago – I think its stress of my studies and I’m not even 20 yet so it is worrying me – the ends are thin too even though I get a trim every 1-2 months! When I do a ponytail its see through at the bottom! Even my friends and family make fun of it calling it a rat’s tail and saying I am gonna go bald soon! It is quite sad I do apply almond and peppermint oil but I was wondering if adding castor oil and rosemary essential to it would be a gd idea – if so plz tell me the proportions bearing in mind my hair is fine. I drink water, eat veggies, eat fish and I even ate vitamins for about a yr but they didnt help so stopped taking them. I tried a sulfate free shampoo from the bodyshop but it didnt really clean my hair leaving it greasy and causing shedding so plz plz plz Farah advise me on what to do to get a beautiful mane on my head.
)
Also the rosemary leave in conditioner – in ur video u only apply it to the scalp but do u apply it to the midshaft & ends because aren’t they what need to be conditioned the most?
Thank u SO much and sorry for the long comment but I thought if anyone could understand my situation then it was u. Take care. Much love, Sara (UK – come to the UK!!!!!
Hi Farah,

I am regularly using almond oil w. peppermint eo now and after I wash my hair I always spray some rosemeary in and my hair looks beautiful and shiny. I love it! I will be going on vacation next week, any suggestions on how to protect my hair from the ocean/pool water and sun exposure?
Heyyyy farah ,

Hello Farah! Thank you for the great (as always) tips and videos!!! Love you< you're soo beautiful!
Will try to find this Rusk leave-in conditioner, as most of these kinds of conditioners leave my hair too greasy the next day ..
Heey!! Farah how are you.. first of all your videos are amazing and any of your tips are working!

hi farah, its great following your tutorials, i love them. i have a little challenge though, i did bonding on my hair for a programme that demanded something like that. I am paying for that now since my hair was pulled out by the hair glue, and made it lighter. can you please give me a tip on how to handle this? Thanx.

HI…………..Farah….. my hair is so dry and frizzy . which shampoo and conditioner is best for my hair ….
Farah,
I am currently in beauty school and my instructor works for Matrix.
She told me last night that they will be discontinuing your favorite shampoo!
The Biolage color therapy for delicate hair.
She said probably May 2013 it will be discontinued.
Sorry >.<
love i saw the hair brush/comb you use and i found it quite cool do you use this one for any particular reasons?? and do you use only that one?its because i saw that you brusedh your hair while it was wet and i have been always told that this breaks out the hair but i was wondering if that specific bush since its more like a comb could help with brushing your hair out while its wet without breaking it.
Thanks doll i just started following you and got to say your hair videos are the bomb, you have dreamy hair, i am trying to grow my hair out but it takes for ever and i am starting to get frustrated lol, so i will definately try your method.
keep up the good work doll
hey farah, plssss help me. pls suggest me with some faster hair growth tips. i would like to send you my hair pics so that you can help me better with it.
It’s a question ?
Dove is better shampoo or
Matrix sleek look shampoo ??????
Waiting for reply
If dove so reason why????
If matrix sleek look so reason why?????
I just started watching your videos. Btw, do you use mousse on your hair? If so what brand? If you don’t how do u get volume in your hair? Looking fwd to seeing more of your videos old & new
Thanks!!!
So if you put conditioner in your hair after you shower doesn’t it get greasy?
Hey, why do you put conditioner in your hair after you shower? And would it be ok for me to do it although i have fine hair? I have the ombre hair with blonde tips and i feel they get really dry whenever i wash my hair. Any advice that you could give me to treat it. I want my hair really long.
absolutely love your videos i watch them religiously
xx

Hi, can you make a video on how to get rid of grey hair? I’m facing this problem for a long time.
Hey Farah,
I love your videos and they have helped me to find “The true Beauty” of my self. I have a question is rebonding hair a good treatment for my dry/ frizzy hair? As i think bcoz of extreme winter weather in Canada, my hair goes very dry and unmanageable.
