Mary, who goes by @thisgirldoeshair on TikTok , has amassed almost 20,000 followers by sharing haircare tips<\/p>\n
Starting off with a controversial view, the hairdresser warns against Olaplex – a very popular product that aims to reduce damage to hair.<\/p>\n
Celebrities, YouTubers and influencers such as Kim Kardashian have all sung the product’s praises in recent years.<\/p>\n
However, Mary claims that although it’s universally loved, it will only help you if you have certain damage.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said ‘Oh she’s coming in hot, have I got your attention? Olaplex number three.<\/p>\n
‘Olaplex will only benefit your hair if you have damage from bleaching your hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s specifically formulated to repair the disulfide bonds that get weakened over time from lifting pigment out of the hair.<\/p>\n
‘So, if you’re using Olaplex number three specifically and thinking it’s like a miracle treatment, it’s gonna transform your hair and you don’t have damage from bleach, it’s not gonna do anything.’<\/p>\n

The salon owner concluded ‘If you’ve used it before and you feel like it didn’t do anything or made your hair worse or just wasn’t what you thought it would be, that’s maybe because you don’t have the right type of damage.<\/p>\n
‘Unless you have damage from bleach, this is not gonna do anything’.<\/p>\n
Next, she moves on to a drugstore and high street favourite, Head and Shoulders shampoo.<\/p>\n
She questioned ‘Do I even need to go into much detail about this? It’s far too stripping, it’s far too much to be used long term.<\/p>\n
‘A lot of you are using this actually when you have a dry scalp, not when you have dandruff.<\/p>\n
‘Over time, this can actually dry your scalp even more, it’s just not a great one to be using long term or at all, so babes it’s gotta go.’<\/p>\n

Third on the TikTokers hit list is OGX’s Argan oil of Morocco shampoo<\/p>\n

She explains ‘Okay so this has insoluble silicones in it, so if you’re using this a lot over time, those silicones are gonna build up.<\/p>\n
‘Unless you’re using a deep cleanse, detox, clarifying shampoo, it’s very very hard to wash out insoluble silicones.<\/p>\n
‘It builds up on the hair and ends up doing more harm than good’.<\/p>\n
Finally, moving onto hair tools, Mary revealed that she does not recommend Tangle Teezer hairbrushes – a staple for many girls growing up, who continued to use them into adulthood.<\/p>\n
She said ‘This always divides opinion whenever I talk about my hatred for this product but I cannot stand the tangle teaser and yes, before you say, I’m aware there’s ones that come with a handle and I’m aware there are one’s for different hair types.<\/p>\n

‘I just feel like it rips the hair. The teeth are way too short, really inflexible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘If you drag this over a bunch of knots, unless you section your hair out properly, it just rips through the hair and in my opinion, really contributes to breakage over time.’<\/p>\n
The hairdresser pleaded ‘Please stop using this. I would love to know if you use any of these products and if you love them.<\/p>\n
‘No shade as always to anyone that does but they are just not great for your hair. Let me know if you want a part three, I’ve got so many products I can talk about and you guys seem to love these videos’.<\/p>\n
However, not everyone agrees with the experts opinions – one viewer commented ‘I have psoriasis on my head, head & shoulders is the only thing that works’.<\/p>\n
Another added ‘nooo tangle teezer is amazing. maybe not that specific brush, but their detangling ones with the handles are amazing. much better than wet brush imo’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others were disheartened as some of the products were their favourites.<\/p>\n
One viewer questioned ‘Oh damn I use the tangle teaser all the time and do have quite a lot of damage, any other brush recommendations?’<\/p>\n
Someone else asked ‘Please could you do the what to use instead?,’ meanwhile another penned ‘Yes to the olaplex 3! My hair was really bleached damaged, this did its job and didn\u2019t need to use it again!’.<\/p>\n
Olaplex, Head and Shoulders, OGX and Tangle Teezer have been approached for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
