  1. @drsamellis reviewing K18 Molecular Repair Hair Mask at 07:59 in a YouTube Shorts video
    K18$75.00
    • I do K18 about once a month. That is sort of my perfect thing, except for after I get my hair bleached7:55
    • When I get my hair bleached, which is every 5 months or so when I go get highlights, I will do four rounds of K187:59
    • When I first bought this, I was like, 'Wow, that feels kind of pricey.' But, then it took me so long to go through a bottle because I use about one and a half pumps for my entire head
    • I always make sure that I start the K18 at the mid-shafts towards the ends because that's where my hair is the most damaged9:55
  2. @drsamellis reviewing Olaplex No3 Plus Complete Repair Treatment at 07:47 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Another bond-builder that I really like is Olaplex. As my hair has gotten healthier, I actually don't feel like I need Olaplex as often7:47
  3. @drsamellis reviewing Crown Affair The Hair Towel at 10:37 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • If you do not use a microfiber towel for your hair, it will change your life. It just cuts the drying time so much because it helps get moisture out of your hair10:14
    • It's a huge towel, so it's really good if you have long hair. It's super secure. I have given this as a gift many, many, many times over10:37
    • It's just a very special, highly functional towel that really is just the best10:45
  4. @drsamellis reviewing Crown Affair The Brush No. 001 at 18:13 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love my Crown Affair hairbrush18:13
  5. @drsamellis reviewing UNITE Hair 7SECONDS Detangler at 11:27 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I will take my Unite 7Seconds detangler and sort of spritz that throughout my hair10:57
    • Once I have my detangler in, which is also so as a heat protectant11:27
  6. @drsamellis reviewing Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler at 12:09 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love my Dyson Airwrap so so much12:03
    • I use this as like my main blow dryer12:09
    • I own a Dyson blow dryer. I never use it. I just use this12:19
    • But I will say the Dyson just has like a little something up on that one12:35
  7. no still
    • I own a Dyson blow dryer. I never use it. I just use this
  8. @drsamellis reviewing T3 Aire 360 Ceramic Dual Voltage Air Styler at 09:32 in a YouTube Shorts video
    T3$349.99
    • Another really good alternative to the Dyson is the T3, I think it's called the Airwrap or something similar to that9:37
    • The nice thing about that one is it's dual voltage, so when I travel internationally, that is the one I will bring with me9:32
  9. @drsamellis reviewing T3 Singlepass Curl 1.25" Curling Iron at 17:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    T3$159.99
    • The two tools that I use are my T3 curling irons, either my 1 and 1/4 inch or my 1 and 1/2 inch17:08
    • If I wanted a tighter curl, I could do that with this, too. So, the 1 and 1/4 inch is incredibly versatile17:26
  10. @drsamellis reviewing Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray at 21:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Oribe$52.00
    • I just think this is almost like if dry shampoo and hairspray had a baby, that's how I often will describe it because it adds grit and volume to the hair. It helps you hold your style. It is just such a perfect product21:34
    • You can use it very sparingly if you just want like a little bit of something, but my hair is still super soft and touchable21:48
    • Or if you wanted to like really give yourself some texture either for a wearing your hair down or for an updo, it is amazing for that
    • I love having like a little bit of that like lived-in volume. And I can do this like every day that I'm wearing my style without it making my hair gross. And it just smells so good22:37
  11. @drsamellis reviewing Maelove Full Follicle Shampoo for Thicker Hair at 06:35 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Maelove$34.95
    • Then I'll go in with a second shampoo, which is typically more of like a hair growth-focused shampoo, either my ketoconazole or my Maelove Full Follicle, something with caffeine in it to sort of like stimulate hair growth even more6:35
  12. @drsamellis reviewing <prescription Drug> Minoxidil 5% Topical at 23:29 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I use topical minoxidil 5% to help me grow my hair. I've been doing it for almost 2 years now3:47
    • Without a doubt, the number one thing that has contributed to the better appearance of my hair over the past couple of years is using minoxidil consistently. It is the only FDA-approved topical for hair growth23:29
    • I put that in probably six nights a week23:00
  13. @drsamellis reviewing SLEEPY TIE The Sleepy Tie Small at 16:32 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • To help protect and preserve my style when I sleep, I use something called a Sleepy Tie. It's sort of like a silk scrunchie thing16:19
    • It's like big and plushy enough and silky enough that it doesn't seem to like dent my hair in a weird way16:32
  14. @drsamellis reviewing SLIP Zippered Silk Pillowcase at 16:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    SLIP$120.00
    • I also will sleep on a silk pillowcase cuz it's just less friction on the hair. The hair is way less frizzy when I wake up. It's also good for your skin16:38
    • That's very easy, an incredibly passive choice that kind of works for you while you're asleep16:49
  15. no still
    • I have both the iRestore helmet and the CurrentBody one. I just use whichever one is charged. They're both effective
  16. @drsamellis reviewing iRESTORE Elite Hair Growth Helmet at 25:19 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I have both the iRESTORE helmet and the current body one. I just use whichever one is charged. They're both effective25:42
    • There's very good data that red light therapy helps with androgenetic or female pattern hair loss, so I do it25:19
  17. no still
    • I have lots of patients who love Nutrafol and Viviscal
