And one more thing from an old lady-- you’re going to be 30 and 40 and 50 ANYWAY-- so if you want to be a cosmetic chemist--GO FOR IT! I became a pharmacist in my late 30s, and a friend of mine went to medical school in her 40s! It’s never to late to follow your dreams!❤️
my therapist went back to school in her 40s and just turned 80. she’s the most wonderful person i’ve ever met and has helped and inspired me so much
You can do it! I went to esthetics school at 48! I honestly think I was a better student then, than I would've been when I was a teen. One of the reasons I decided to become an esthetician, is because of the lies the beauty industry tells woman of all ages, but especially middle-aged women. It's crazy! Always follow your dreams, no matter your age! Good luck!
Thank you for this. I feel like I’m too old to go to school because I’m 25 and all of my friends are graduating. This helps me thank you
Excellent advice - I heard this from someone many years ago and it led to me getting my degree as well.
@@taylordillingham4669 Oh girl, 25 isn’t too old at all. People in higher education are (typically) mature enough to wrap their heads around having older peers. Also in college, nobody knows anyone so it’s quite easy to fly under the radar (if that’s a concern you have).
As a curly girl, I am so mad at how prevalent hair type is when selling products. When I stopped using my hair type as a benchmark for if a product would work for me and use my porosity instead. It completely changed how my hair is now. And I wish I would have know sooner because it would have saved me so much grief and money
Agreed.
This!! I have waves and the emphasis on hair type made me so confused. My hair isn’t completely straight or completely curly and it was so overwhelming. After I started paying attention to porosity instead I’ve been so happy with my hair
Hey, how do tou choose by porosity? I really need to know 🥺💜 thx in advance
@@violetfox2444 The fastest way is to drop a strand in a glass of water. If it floats you have low porosity (your hair cuticles is closed) and if it sinks that is high porosity (your cuticle is open). If it is in the middle, you have a medium porosity (your cuticle is not fully closed). Manes by Mel has a lot of great videos on porosity, what it is and how to care for your hair based on it. Let me know if you have any questions!
Exactly but idk what my hair porosity is!!!!
As a curly haired black woman I learned that majority of brands that target my hair type are not good as they're oil based and don't hydrate the hair. I went to a curly hair salon and they used water based products and my hair never looked or felt better
Amen and Hallelujah 👏
Wow
Could you please share which ingredients (water-based) you usually look for? My hair is 3c with some maybe 4a and some 2c or 3a. 😅
I think with the "hydration" thing you're absolutely right. For those of us with curly hair that dries out quickly/those that live in arid climates, moisturizing (ie preventing loss of moisture within the hair) is a necessity. But moisturizing is a coating that helps retain moisture/prevents frizz by sealing in moisture within the hair itself, rather than purporting to add additional "hydration" which is impossible
Curly hair still needs hydration though, not just for breakage but for the curls to be defined and not frizzy.
Silicon also blocks hair from receiving moisture from the environment so curly hair types do need to avoid products with silicon in them, not because they "work differently" but so their hair doesn't become frizzy.
@@jordanlevitt1638 didn't mention silicone at all - I have curly hair myself so I'm well aware that it weighs hair down. But hydration does not equal moisturization. No haircare product can add hydration, it's physically impossible - they can only moisturize and encourage retention of moisture, and you're right in that this can come from the environment as well. But hydration is the process of water saturation in the hair, which can only come from water, be that during washing or environmental. Moisturizing encourages retention and absorption, but doesn't physically add hydration in and of itself. Breakage and frizz occurs from the loss of moisture within the hair, which is why conditioner, moisturizing products, and curl definers are key. But if anything purports to offer to add hydration, they're scamming you
yess like products w aloe vera or something that attracts moisture to the hair and seals it
I don’t think they can seal water in the hair. Where did you get that idea from?
@@planckismus perhaps a better word is "occlusive" or preventing moisture loss. Anyway, no need to be hostile about semantics
I come here for solid hair advice! Your recommendations for Pureology, Redkin Acidic Bonding, Olaplex and k18 brought my hair BACK from bleaching breakage! So thank you so much Abbey!!
😭 this makes me so happy to hear!!!
Mee too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same!
Took a Screen shot of this comment, thankyou!
@@elysianjameson9151 you’re welcome! I’d say I saw some results instantly but overall over a six month period? Good luck!
Another big one to call out that I encountered a lot just working in the industry; split end mending! The hairs on your head, especially the ones that have really grown out, are not alive -- there's no 'mending' what's already long gone. All that product is doing is weighing down your lengths and temporarily sealing any damage (if you're lucky). Trust your stylist for a little trim or to remove those dead ends, it's much more worth it!
I love this kind of video! Even as a scientist myself I totally get sucked into marketing claims. Like you said, it’s helpful to know what’s a scam and what’s real so we can be smart consumers and put our money in the right places to get the results we’re looking for.
Couldn’t agree more!!
I'm stoked you're continuing your education Abbey! Don't limit yourself to a college degree. You are the people's cosmetic chemist 😉
Curly hair needs hydration though, not just for breakage but for the curls to be defined and not frizzy.
Silicon also blocks hair from receiving moisture from the environment so curly hair types do need to avoid products with silicon in them, not because they "work differently" but so their hair doesn't become frizzy.
@@jordanlevitt1638 as a chemist, you should know there is no such thing as hair "hydration". It's not physically possible to hydrate a strand of hair. It's a marketing gimmick for products that *condition* the hair like silicone which creates a water-resistant barrier that is easily removed by surfactants
@@Madamchief Mofo I'm not saying curly hair products hydrate hair. I'm saying products with silicon blocks hair from receiving hydration from the bloody environment. Hence, products with silicon in them are not good for curly hair. This chick is using "lets exploit crappy marketing gimmicks" as a way to lead you to false assumptions. She's acting like curly hair doesn't need different products from straight hair when that's not true. This has shit all to do with products hydrating hair. Conditioner isn't easily removed either.
Literally love how you’re taking courses to continue to be educated and knowledgeable about the beauty industry!! I hate to see so much misleading information out there and think more “influencers” need to do the same!!
The biggest lie about hair growth has always come from my female hairdressers who constantly try to chop off my hair and tell me it will make it grow faster. BS.
I cant believe theyre still pushing this myth garbage. It doesnt even make sense how hair can grow by trimming the bottom end. Personally, id stop seeing anyone professionally if they lied like this just to make money off me, how can they be trusted?!
Honestly I never understood that logic… if you’re chopping the ends of your hair how does it makes the roots grow faster?? Won’t you get stuck in a cycle and forever have that same hair length?
My bf’s mom always had thin hair and hair care professionals told her if she shaved it, it would grow back stronger and healthier. Such bs it did the opposite actually
I’ve always heard it explained as getting rid of the breakage stops it from traveling up the hair shaft so you’re new growth isn’t getting cancelled out by the breakage at the ends. If you don’t have a lot of damage and split ends, you don’t need as frequent trims.
@@PansyFanGirl that makes so much sense thank you! But the thing is they tell you “it will grow faster” when in reality it just prevents your hair from further damage :/ (which is good ofc but not exactly what they’re trying to sell us)
@@PansyFanGirl You may be correct, but then tell me it will break off less (which has never been true for my hair) not that it will grow faster. I object to the verbiage.
i feel so validated in this! people rarely believe me when i say these things (it was nice when customers did listen when i worked at ulta!). i’m both a total science nerd and a beauty/haircare/skincare lover, it was so nice to see this vid in my recommended! 💗
Love this. Even as a hairstylist I love to tell people what is a scam and be able to give the best education to my clients as possible.
“Beauty brains” is the best podcast ever for these topics (haven’t watched the whole video yet not sure if you’ve mentioned it)
So...I should cancel my function of Beauty subscription?
I work in a well known beauty store (and am also a newly licensed esthetician) and I’ve been watching videos to expand my knowledge on products. I just so happened to come across your videos and I really enjoy how knowledgeable you are and are direct with it. Thank you for these videos!
Theres a big difference between promoting longer hair/ hair growth and treating androgenic alopecia. A lot of biotin etc type products (that should just be for non-sufferers who want longer hair) prey on people with androgenic alopecia since its so widespread
Correct 💯 there’s a lot of confusion between hair growth and AGA.
Hi Abbey, The false advertising for products to say that it's going to make your hair is so misleading and it shows how people can be talked into thinking this is true and that it will make the products you purchase into thinking that you're going to have thicker, fuller and luscious hair. Thanks so much for this video and after watching all your haircare videos as to what's good and not good for the hair type I trust your opinions 💯.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this Abbey! Like many others, I grew out my hair during the pandemic. My best discoveries: Vit D prescribed by my MD for osteoporosis prevention (had great benefits for my hair too), co-washing and no poo, olive oil on bottom half of my hair before washing to lock in moisture, scalp massage, washing with a zero soap shampoo bar and ditching hair color, styling products and heat tools.
I am really confused over the "shampoo won't fade hair dye" thing... Have you tried washing dyed hair with just water and conditioner and then washing it with shampoo? It's literally visible how much colour comes off
Hey Abbey! I really appreciate that you help educate us all on haircare from a scientific point of view, not just by blindly reading labels and reviews of products. Understanding haircare from this side helped me so much in my haircare journey! :) Please, can you give us your opinion on the whole Monat branding and its' crazy promo that has been around for a while now? I would really like to know your opinion. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this video! Re: your request for additional topics, a deep-dive into scalp products, common claims, common ingredients found in these products and what they can actually do and can't do would be so cool.
I'm seeing so many more scalp products entering the market these days, with oils making claims to clarify or help hair growth and all these ingredients brands say are what is doing the things they claim to do, and it's so difficult to keep up and evaluate whether or not those claims can be valid or if those products are things we should be spending money on (if that makes sense)
I have learned that I have to read the ingredients and see if it is oil based or water based. I am a 2A (hair straightened in profile pic). I am very oily prone no matter the steps I've taken, for example, by day 3 of dry shampoo trying to extend a wash like hair people suggest. I looked like dry doughed Betty Spaghetti. I try to avoid oils because I'll just end up looking like I'm constantly rocking a stringy wet look.
Would love to see video on hair loss and thinning and products that actually can help.
I took the same course and it was so eye opening! I walked away thinking everything shared on social media about hair is wrong! 😂
The mechanics of hair is not something I realized I need to learn about, but this is so very informative.
For a tiny amount of time in high school, I wanted to be a cosmetic chemist. I got my undergrad in chemistry. I have since switched to something completely different (graduating with a masters in counseling psych in a few weeks), but this is so fascinating!
This course sounds super interesting, you are always so educated on ingredients in this channel. I would love a video on how to hydrate dry hair if I’m not supposed to buy those hydrating products.
The point is that the ONLY thing that can hydrate something is water. So unless a product is adding water to the inner part of your hair or something, it is not hydrating, it is conditioning or moisturizing. Marketing just says hydrating because... it sounds better I guess. But there is no hair care product that can hydrate your hair. Only lots of water can do that.
Very interesting! So glad you're continuing your education in any way possible - and helping us out as well. A big thank you!!!
If I could give you 100 thumbs up, I would, Abbey. Among the vast numbers of beauty influencers, you stand way above the rest. We need to hear it straight, and you are the rare one who does that.
Love these kinds of videos. Unfortunately such debunking takes a long time - as science does - and usually, by the time the science becomes well-known, some clever marketing people have already found the next big thing to hype up for no reason. As someone with incredibly little and thin hair myself, though, I do feel like hair products targeted towards my hair type do help - not because they're targeted towards a specific structure, but because I feel like they perhaps contain a lower amount of conditioning agents? Or maybe a different set of them? I definitely remember my hair looking very greasy after less than a day when I used highly conditioning products ("for very damaged hair" because that's what I thought I was able to fix using them hahah), until I swapped to something specifically for thin hair, and I feel like it keeps my hair looking clean but still feel nice for longer. It may also just be a different set of cleansing agents, of course, which maybe suit my scalp a bit better. But yeah, I'm so over hair product elitism.
As a licensed cosmetologist most is all BS. Thank you, for putting the truth out there.
Thanks again Abbey!❤
Thank you for doing so much research for this video and sharing it. I was really intrigued by the hair growth portion of the video. I use bondi boost and purchased it at Ulta. I could have sworn it said "hair growth" verbatim. So I went and checked and the Ulta website currently lists the product as "Hair Growth Shampoo" not "HG Shampoo"!!! I found that interesting! It definitely misled me and is a lot of the reason I purchased it
Hey Abbey, that's so great that you're continuing your education on subjects that you're passionate about. I love this style video ❤
I’m so glad 🥰
I really wish there was a video like this for skincare!!!
As a curly girl I always thought the that the products added moisture since that’s all I hear! So interesting to hear that it isn’t 🤔 good information to know and dive into myself.
Hey Abby, I love all your videos! I appreciate how you really take the care and are interested in the technicalities and practicalities of beauty and not just the aesthetics. A question I have always had about hair care is, what can shampoo actually do? I know that shampoo is important to keep hair clean and healthy scalp but I’m not convinced by that claims that it can make my hair stronger, repair bonds or protect my hair against damage.
Abbey, this was so informative! Thank you for going through all that you learned.
Informative and eye opening subject. Thanks for pointing out the types of falsehoods and scams in marketing products.
I really appreciate your educational videos! I'm on a journey to find my holy grail hair products and your videos help so much.
Loved the video! As a beginner, trying to understand what products to use to take care of my hair is so confusing because of the way they are marketed. This video is probably the most helpful and informative thing I’ve found, so thank you!
I love your very informative video! I hate these marketing ploys for all sorts of cosmetics.
I feel like hair texture is so under appreciated. I have dark blonde 2c curly/wavy hair, but my hair texture (aka the diameter of individual strands) is very fine. I have good density, so it doesn’t look thin, but it gets weighed down sooo easily. 99% of the time, my choices for products are based on whether or not it will work without weighing my hair down.
Natural blondes tend to have finer textured hair, while darker hair tends to be coarser. That’s why I think a lot of the blonde curly girls use methods that lighten the load, like the bowl method (applying product, dipping hair into a bowl of water, scrunching the excess water and product into the bowl, then repeating to essentially evenly distribute a more diluted version of the product). People with darker/coarser hair tend to have better results with heavier conditioners, creams, gels, thicker serums, and most products promoting shine bc they usually contain silicones that can weigh the hair down (not hating on silicones though!). People with lighter/finer hair do better with spray leave ins, lightweight mousses and foams, texture sprays, and lightweight or dryer oils.
If I were a haircare company, I’d definitely develop products geared towards texture types rather than the “outcomes” of a product. Like I usually avoid shampoos and conditioners that are marketed as volumizing because I worry they’re not going to condition my hair enough, but in reality those are probably the best formulas for my hair. The best hair I’ve ever had was when I used the big sexy volume shampoo. I was known as somebody with “great hair.” The best curls I had were when I didn’t even condition after that 🙈 But nowadays I’m so preoccupied with my hair being ~nourished~ that I’m trying to force it to have volume with styling, needing to worry more about nourishing it from all the heat and mechanical damage, and then weighing it down all over again!
I honestly didn’t even realize all that until just now, so I’m going straight from here to order that shampoo so I can bring back my great hair days!
Wait, thank you for bringing this up. I feel like what people really don’t talk about is one. Your hair type. Meaning, straight, wavy, curly, coily. And then, in those sub categories. There are different hair textures. For example, you can have straight hair, but it’s gonna be fine/thin. meaning, no matter what you do. Your hair is just gonna be fine and thin and that’s your hair texture. On the other hand, you could have straight hair and have extremely thick hair. And then, we get to the wavy/curly/coyly category. You could have curly hair and have extremely thin hair. And the same goes with wavy and coyly. Also, your ethnicity and your race is going to be a very big factor as to what type of hair you were going to be born with. For example, my ethnicity is Middle Eastern. And I mean it is a stereotype that Middle Eastern’s and Indians have very thick hair, but it’s true. We do. My hair tends to be very thick and coarse, and is completely different than somebody who is white. i’m also a curly girl, so I have to use products for curly girls. Also, what you said about blonde hair being thinner? It literally blew my mind because all the people with blonde hair that I know have pretty thin hair.
Oh, I forgot to tell you I love your channel! It's so informative and the fact that you actively continue to educate yourself on the topics you discuss, help me to really trust in the information that you are giving me
Ooh yay thank you Abbey!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and illustrating how clever use of language can trick us into thinking a product will do something it can't actually do. The best hair care purchase I've made recently is argan oil. I use Pureology shampoo and conditioner and love them (thank you Abbey!) but my hair can benefit from some extra help. My hair is dry and applying the oil lightly to the bottom half once a week before shampooing has helped my hair look more silky and less like doll hair.
Interesting! I learned this about skincare, and when something is professional/medical versus non-medical grade, but didn't realize it was similar for hair care.
THANK YOU!!
I’m definitely so excited that UA-cam suggested this video for me. I immediately subscribed. I would love to take classes like this. ❤
Loved this video Abbey. Your academic & scientific approach is so refreshing.
Instant follow
Yes I read those descriptions very carefully… took me a while but good marketing is a powerful thing
I’ve been looking into hair care recently and this video was really helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your learnings
Curly hair needs hydration though, not just for breakage but for the curls to be defined and not frizzy.
Silicon also blocks hair from receiving moisture from the environment so curly hair types do need to avoid products with silicon in them, not because they "work differently" but so their hair doesn't become frizzy.
Thank you Abbey! This video was awesome!
Great video Abbey! Thank you so much for all this information. Can you do a video on what you do recommend for hair growth?
I have to say I absolutely love this video. It’s a breath of fresh air in this space and I keep coming back to it time and time again!
I get that this wouldn't be the same as going to school and sitting in a class for a subject. But nothing is stopping you from looking up a syllabus and buying and reading the textbook for a class. I have done this once since undergrad and will probably continue to do it.
omg literally!! i will sneak on courses website pages and write down textbooks and associates' names and start there XD who said i cant learn 2587092767283642 things at once XD
The "adds hydration" claims are even appearing in the d-i-y cosmetic formulation sphere! There's one home formulator i'm specifically thinking of, who adds HA and glycerin to (chemically based) conditioners to "hydrate the hair." Sigh ...
Abbey, videos like this are why I subscribed to your channel. You don't need a PhD to be a science journalist, which is what you are.
Soo interesting! Thank you ❤️
Thanks Abbey for continuing to learn and help others!!
Abbey you are my haircare hero! Since finding your channel and following your advice and recommendations my hair is growing so much stronger and longer. Thank you for everything you do x
I absolutely love how knowledgeable you are!
Can just anyone do a course like this or do you have to work in the hair industry?
Abbey could you pls make a current self tan tutorial pls? For people who have never use self tan drops before? either on UA-cam or on tik tok pls. Love you 💞
I would love a dedicated video on how the same products may work for different hair textures
Thanks for bringing us the facts!! 👏🏻
I'm so glad I found this video. I've been a fool for misleading hair care marketing my whole life
I would love to see more videos like this. I feel enlightened.
Thank you for this. My hair texture has changed throughout my life- it was stick straight during childhood, curled at puberty, and was curly until I had my first child at 31 years old. Now it’s barely wavy but also very dry. I’ve also lost significant amounts of hair after each pregnancy and have had to change up what I do with my hair a lot as a result. I’d be interested to know if there’s any scientific explanation behind these changes!
Thanks for this video! I have learned a lot, your channel truly stands out
Gosh i love all this information especially about hair hydration thank you ❤️
Thanks for bringing this information out!
Thanks Abbey for sharing your reasearch. 😊👍🏼
Hey Abby, I am currently watching the video, and that can be said about skincare too, and everything else. Marketing is such a wide area. I just use products that I know will work and what I can afford. I would have liked to take the course, it sounds interesting. In my opinion, marketing is a scam. You would have to use products for a long time to actually see results, you can't, unless you use it for years. Anyway, keep up the good work 😊
Abbey always helping is through our journey ! What about leave-in-treatements and leave-in creams?
Would love to hear more about aging hair and how to handle it..thinning and fine.
And more about heat protection. As someone bwith older very thin and fine hair I would love to know how best to use heat protection and what it can offer. Not heat styling is not an option for my shorter fine hair.
So Abby, after taking this class do you plan on making any changes to your hair care routine? I prefer regular sulfates to other non-sulfate shampoos because the others seem more stripping
Very informative. Thank you. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you going to school for this. It's definitely not too late.
Loved this! Thanks for doing the research for us and educating us. ❤
The relative humidity is so on point! I’ve lived in a tropical coastal city in Brazil that humidity is for most of the year above 90%. When I stayed in Los Angeles for the winter months my hair suffered! I never had hair dried like that in my entire life. Once I got back to Brazil, my hair went back to shiny and hydrated.
Thank you for this amazing video, please elaborate more in the so call “bonding repair” products/treatments, thanks.
Hi Abbey! Glad you are continuing your education in something you’re (and we😂) passionate about. Any deep dive is cool with me, I love learning-especially about products, as women, we are convinced we need and spend an obscene amount of money on!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Once again, Thank you !
You are the best UA-camr out there!!! Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us. It’s so helpful for me because I work beauty retail. I prefer to be honest about products and try to help other consumers understand marketing gimmicks!
The Bondi boost one plainly said “supports hair growth” in the description you showed
I’m so glad you educate us on your continued findings. I love your channel as I feel like I get true value from listening. Please know you are appreciated 🥰❤😘
Excellent video. I would love a hair growth focused video looking into scientifically verified or at least studies methods, supplements, etc we can use to promote better hair growth
Adding to my list!
Watch Dr. Dray she talks so much about hair growth.
@@AbbeyYung I have a few products I’ve been wanting your thoughts on, but I didn’t think you would cover hair growth since it varies so greatly due to each individual’s underlying cause of hair loss. Since I’ve been diagnosed with androgenic alopecia, I’ll try anything if you say it works ❤ one thing all hair loss specialists (doctors) agree on, is with androgenic alopecia you have 5 years to intervene from the time you first notice your hair thinning! 😱 And by the time most people notice their hair thinning, they’ve lost more than 50% of their hair 🫣 Help Abbey 😟
I really appreciate your dedication to the science behind products for true information education
That was so interesting and thank you for all that information!
This was so informative! I’m a bit dissapointed that products can’t moisture hair since I live in a very low humidity climate. What could you do to counteract the dryness?
This was a great video! Wow!! I'm glad that you took the time to inform yourself and brought this information to us. You're awesome.
THANK YOUUU for this info. This is my first vid of you
Before i even start the video i must admit that function of beauty have always been a bit sussy so thank you for covering this!
This was an amazing video!! Extremely helpful, concise, and well informed/researched. New subscriber! Looking forward to more! x
Hi Abbey! Could you please, please, pretty please tell us about salon keratin treatments? I would love to know what you can find out about them. (Thanks as always for such great content)
Yeah I’ve learned that different textures of hair are attributed to the follicles and how the hair grows from the follicle
Would love if you reviewed Vegamour!!
Very nice job as always, Abbey!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always be learning! Would love it you could deep dive on leave in hair serums. So may claim to help grow hair, and I would love to know if any are actually legit.
OMG I'm still on the intro.. your hair and makeup are beyond flawless in this vid!
This is great! Thank you for this information!
Through trial and error I've discovered products that work really well with my hair, and of course my routine is nothing like any "curly girl method" or anything. I have wavy hair, and to bring out the waves I skip the conditioner and use a moisture hair mask and a protein one and then a leave in conditioner. I also only shampoo once or twice a week. I literally tried everything cause my scalp was always itchy and my hair was always dry, straight, and lacking shine. As soon as I started using hair masks instead of conditioner my hair started to get ringlets and it got really glossy. It would be nice if hair care was just straightforward with no gimmicks.
I am an oily gal. At 42, I've fought oily scalp and skin my entire adolescent and adult life. The conventional wisdom for YEARS has been wash your hair with highly-stripping ingredients and just condition the ends. As I've learned more about skincare - oily gals NEED moisture - I've tried to apply those same principles to my haircare. (Also, blonde wavy hair with some texture, but not a lot). Over the last year especially I have stopped heat styling (I'm also having issues with hair loss because 42, thyroid, etc.). Instead of no conditioning, I use scalp moisturizers/conditioners that are right for my skin type. This has DRASTICALLY changed the level of oil and sebum in my hair. I could, if I wanted to, go two days without washing, but I don't because I walk and sweat everyday. I appreciate how much Abbey shares what she's learned!
Also, here's my hair routine if you care:
Daily cleansing conditioner (because I have a sensitivity to glycol and CCs tend to leave it out)
1-2 times a week with a light moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
After air-drying, I work a small amount of hair oil through the ends for taming
Comb when wet
Brush at night
The end.
I recently traveled and did not take my routine with me, I regretted it big time (different minerals in the water that just didn't do well). Next time, I WILL take my daily CC!
This was a fantastic video! So much information!! It may be hard to get hair sponsorship now lol because you debunked every company's "benefits " 🤣
