I really like and love praise everything about your very beautiful and pretty hair and your natural beauty and everything else in all of your videos too . Your hair will be always forever beautiful no matter what you say about it and do with your hair too.
I can not thank you enough , pretty young lady . I am 62, and you helped me SO much to do all the right steps, with the right products, so my hair is growing longer, and looks beautiful. Thank you ! ❤
I have decided I need to get a dedicated notebook and go back through your videos and make notes on everything that applies to my hair. Thanks so very much for these helpful videos!
As a tricologist, would you be able to make a reel or video on how color protecting products work, if they even work, and recommendations you may have? I understand your hair is lighter, but for those of us that have darker shades of red or brown I’m curious to get information from someone with your wealth of knowledge. ❤
Agreed! I think red colored hair does need different treatment! I commented that on TikTok and she replied and said “my hair is colored” but blonde vs red care is sooo different
For leave in sprays I recommend spraying the product in your hand, then applying your product to your sections however necessary. You're not wasting product and you're covering all your hair strands!
@@Julesritter1 every time I wash my hair except for the days I use K-18, which I use once a week. I wash my hair usually 3 times a week. I don’t get built up unless I put way too much lol. I kinda had to experiment with how much my hair needed.
Loving Editor Emily’s little interjections lol Long time TT follower, and new YT follower. I’ve been binging your videos and they are so good. Are you doing a brush showdown soon? Did I dream that? I hope it’s coming! Also would love a trichology video about what hair looks like under a microscope when it is in different stages I.e. healthy, damaged, weak, protein overloaded/underloaded (lol), product buildup, etc. I feel like we hear so much about the state of hair and what to do from a practical perspective but something scientific and visual would be so fun.
I absolutely love the dove 10 in 1 hair mask, it’s a game changer!! I have tried several hair masks from different brands (bridgeo, Moroccan, etc) and nothing compares to the Dove mask! I have very damaged long hair from over bleaching and it’s heaven sent!
Can you someday make a video about products for undamaged/virgin hair? I really love your advice but I’d love to hear about products that aren’t necessarily bond builders
I am curious about this as well! But I will say, I have tried product lines she has recommended like the dove bond strength and the L’Oréal bond line and they work SO well for my virgin hair. I do use heat sometimes so I just don’t use the bond treatment every week, only once a month but the shampoo and conditioner are amazing! I was using a very high end line before and decided to give L’Oréal a try and I am not disappointed
@@benistheproblem all of these products can also be used on virgin hair. The idea of “virgin hair” is only regarding whether it has been dyed. All hair is subject to damage just by everyday wear and tear. If you’ve ever worn your hair down or put it up in a ponytail, you have some amount of damage
@@lauralfitzgerald542I agree. I just got the bond strength by dove today and I’ll be using it later. Hoping it works for me. I have a lot of frizz and fly aways. I haven’t dyed my hair in like 17+ years so just day to day damage, and I don’t use heat often.
healthy virgin hair doesn't need lots of products. A simple wash, condition and if blow drying just a light leave in. Keep it simple. I use a light texture spray if I'm going to be curling my hair and want it to hold for a night out but most of the time just a simple leave in works fine. Try buying sample sizes of things till you find what you like.
Abbey could you make a video or short or series of shorts on how to flatten a damaged cuticle? I know you’ve talked about this but can you make some content dedicated to this specifically? I’ve been using k18 and doing your bond repair stuff but those little scragglies still pop out along my hair shaft albeit much less than before but on a rainy day forget about it lol. I’m not expecting magic but getting a bit of a deep dive into smoothing out the hair cuticle as best as possible would be really great and super helpful. PS you’re the best and your tips have literally saved my hair lol
@@Mckee4055 Have you tried the OGX oil? I'm just wondering about the consistency of the Bumble oil. I also use their deep conditioner once a week. I have straight hair that I get professionally dyed two to three times a year. Abbey's videos have been a lifesaver for me.
@@Saphira_247 I do use the Coconut penetrating oil that I believe was also mentioned here. But I’ve used it as a post-wash styling product. My hair is coarse enough that it works well. Helps to manage the “puffy” way my hair grows when drying. I’d still say I prefer the B&B oil but you can’t beat the price of OGX in comparison.
Your hair always looks amazing! This may be a duplicate question but, if you are only applying conditioner, leave in, hair oils, etc to your mids and ends, how do you keep the top of your head/scalp from the tiny baby hairs from popping up? The top of your hair always looks so smooth and conditioned. Please help! Could you do a video explaining this?
Rather than scrunching product in, I take my hair in two sections, half over one shoulder, and kinda bend over a bit, and put my hair between my hands in like prayer hands and pull down the strands (pancaking the hair). That gives me maximum coverage per side. Then I repeat the other side. I hope this wasn't confusing...
❤I have noticed a difference in the health of my hair just doing the living proof bond repair and purology color fanatic leave in conditioner after. Been doing it for 3 post washes now and I love. ❤ I also been doing pre wash with pre wash oils and living proof clarifying shampoo during wash. It makes a world of a difference.
Video idea : Would you be open to make video about subscribers routines ? Like we send you a picture of our products and you tell us what products you'd suggest to make it even better ? Or if we are doing a step "wrong" ?
I am just curious. If you use four pumps of Living Proof bond repair every time after you wash your hair, and you wash your hair 2-3 times a week, about how long does a bottle of the Living Proof last you?
I've loved a lot of Abbey's product recommendations but as she mentions, you do have to tweak her approach if your hair is not fine/oily like hers. My coarse (wavy) grey hair, requires heavier conditioning and heat protection to avoid drying it out, so I spray or pour the leave-in conditioner on my hands and (using praying hands method) slide down a section of wet hair (you don't want to towel dry textured hair). Using a smaller amount, yes, I then apply leave-in to the hair on top of my head because that section of grey hair is easily damaged by diffusing and by the sun's UV rays. I also gently comb or brush my hair afterwards to distribute the product. You can wait until after applying curl cream/gel too, since those products will give your hair even greater slip and be less likely to damage it by brushing. Lastly, I also use hair oil after my hair is diffused and dry. I LOVE her recommendation of B&B's Invisible Oil since it also offers UV protection. If you color your hair, UV rays fade vibrant colors and if you have grey hair, UV rays can turn it yellow (hard water too).
Hi, Abbey! Good Sunday to you, too! I know you no longer advocate being a bleached blonde but instead a warm ‘colored’ blonde. Can you do a video on any blue/purple shampoos and/or conditioners for those of us who keep getting more and more brassy, starting the first or second shampoo after a lightening?!? Thanks! D
I am watching all of your older videos. I'm so happy to see a recent one so that I can thank you for all the advice I have benefitted from after following you for only a couple of weeks. I hope you see this. Dove shampoo and conditioner has changed my life! LOL... Not an overstatement. I love your videos and I feel in my spirit that I can trust your advice and that you are honest and forthright. Keep doing what you do please. Many think you're amazing and count me as one of them! 💜
Just want to add to read the directions. Lots of times people say that something doesn’t work but they are using it wrong. My general rule of thumb is that if it doesn’t work using the directions then it probably isn’t for me. I’m just not in a place anymore to force products to work for me.
Would you be able to show your hair fully dried in it's natural state without styling it? I'd really like to see if styling it is what makes it easier to brush through and whether my hair doesn't look at good because I'm not styling it or because it's damaged
Hi Abbey! Thank you very much for this. Could you please also talk about hair care in cold weather? Especially how to avoid static hair, especially on dry hair. The moment it gets a little colder, my hair gets very static and as it gets colder, it gets more and more stressed, dry, and static. I tried using oil but it doesn't do it.
I wish you had a website where all the products you use/ recommend are listed along with what hair/ scalp type each is most suited for, I have been watching allll your videos and because my brain is like “well what’s the best things what’s the best” I can’t figure out which products to use that you recommend. Mind you I have 2b/2c wavy curls that have been basically straight for awhile and I use strictly natural hair care 🥲 and have for…8 years 😅 so I really want to try what you’ve said cause my hair is so dull, tons of shedding, breakage and split ends, dry in the lengths oily on the scalp, itchy flakey scalp (I also have seb derm) and overall not looking like I spend $350 every 6 months to take “care” of it. Do you have any recommendation for where I should start? Mainly with shampoo conditioner and masks? Oh also I’m a natural blonde, very dense but fine hair texture, any advice would be so appreciated
I’ve started using Quai live in conditioner, Redken frizz dismiss and bumble and bumble oil after all my regular products you previously recommended. I have been really enjoying it as my final steps ;)
Can you do a video on best thermal sprays? For styling once your hair is blown dry or dry and you are ready to use heat tools. I have used aerosols and regular pump sprays and the aerosols seem to come off more greasy but they are so much easier to use. Would love to see this.
The directions for living proof bond repair are similar to K18. (Apply to damp hair and leave in for set amount of time before applying any other products) Are they the same/similar in what they do for hair?
First, thanks for being a wealth of knowledge. Second, I use the Pureology leave in based on your glowing recommendation. I have shoulder length/fine hair, so I can't get too heavy handed, but want the heat protection. Do you think scrunching it in would offer enough coverage to protect from heat?
@@SophieeeeeeHO They have a leave in mask to be used on clean hair. They also have a hair mask that is used after washing and towel drying hair. Other items they have are a shampoo, conditioner, and a hair serum.
I inherited an interesting hair combination from my parents: I have a lot of hair (my mom had thick, big, curly hair), but one strand is as thin as a spider web strand (my dad had very fine, thin hair). The roots get oily really fast, but drying my hair takes a life time. The last 1/3 of my hair and the ends never get oily. For the ends I use hair mask, conditioner and leave in conditioner. Because my hair gets tangled almost instantly. Can you give an opinion on my hair situation? Best wishes💐
Love this video, thank you. Can you please recommend other styling creams for fine/thin hair? I’m worried the balm might be too heavy. Would love to hold my style without so much hairspray which makes day 2 hair impossible. Thanks!
I just started following Abbey and now I'm binge watching her videos 😄 so for Abbey and/or those of you who are here for longer - I have a question regarding after-washing haircare. Is it OK to use some kind of leave-in spray as a part of a routine (for example, every night before bed or every morning before going out for work)? She did answer a question about oils, but I was wondering about using some kind of a spray as a daily hair care routine. Before blow drying I use the one my hairdresser uses in her hair salon (10 in 1, similar to the one from Revlon in red spray bottle), so it can but it doesn't have to be that particular one. My hair - fine in structure, but thick overall, currently pretty healthy. I wash it once a week as it is not that oily in scalp, but I am reconsidering that decision due to some tips Abbey has provided on why it could be a bad idea (aka more prominent hair loss over time). Why I would like to use something routinely is because of the harsh weather conditions in the winter where I live and as a way to nurture my hair while sleeping (like I do with my skin). I'm thinking of purchasing a satin/silk cap for sleeping and/or overnight curls, so let me know if it could be a good idea to prevent hair breakage during sleep. Thank you in advance ❤️
As some others I'm wondering how to integrate Living Proof Bond Repair and Color Wow. But my real question is: what other heat protection would you recommend to use on dry, color treated and wavy hair? I often do the blow out one day and the next day I go in with a straightener because my hair is frizzy and also I'm not very good at straightening them just with brush and hair drier. Thanks for all your great videos and cheers from Italy 😀
Hi Abbey! I am curious what you think of the Color Wow Money line. Specifically the Money mist leave in conditioner and Money mask. I use these products and I like how glossy my hair is after but I am not sure they are really helping my hair long term as I still see breakage and dry ends. I would love to have your input on these two products ❤
I personally love the redkin acidic leave in treatment. I have very fine naturally curly hair that is naturally white/grey. I am 62. It also has heat protectant in it. I cannot use much of what Abby recommends as we have very different hair.
I’m glad you posted this because I’ve been feeling like the Color Fanatic LIC spray I have been using is too heavy for my naturally wavy but fine hair. Do you have any suggestions for a very light weight LIC?
I have fine wavy hair and I also find the Pureology leave-in conditioner too heavy unless my hair is just extra dry. I prefer the Redken One United leave-in conditioner. It never weighs down my hair.
I learnt from the blowout professor that not all products that also claim to be heat protectants amongst other benefits actually help against heat. he tested out various peoducts on toast in the toaster lol. Very worth looking into!
Bro, lol. Look into physics. Wet bread won't toast until the liquid evaporates, NO MATTER WHAT THE LIQUID IS. You can literally just put water on bread and it won't toast. But that has no bearing on whether or not the protector is working.
Thank you for all these suggestions, I have been looking for a really good leaving conditioner! Also I want to reiterate that you should be wearing a satin bonnet to bed! Please! I have noticed a big difference with my hair health and less breakage by using a bonnet at night. Or a satin lined cap. Either way.
Thank you for the video, love your product recommendations. I lost a few chunks of my hair and have a bald spot but haven't figured out a way to grow it back again. A bit frustrated but following some of your steps have helped me with wash day and taking care of my hair
@@AbbeyYungIs there anything that works for the balding spot. Maybe it’s with age as well, I have long hair to my shoulders and my crown area is starting to thin out😢
I LOVE the Camel Glow hair growth oil. I could never grow my baby hairs out before but I've been using it consistently for a year and seeing massive improvement regarding thickness and new hair growth. Also switching your parting and being mindful about tight hair styles can help. And a temporary fix is using hair fibre sprays to cover the thinning spots. Hope that helps!
@@emmacarey6278 is there a fiber spray you can recommend, does it make your hair gross cause I only wash my hair every 3 days. I have never done tight hair styles, I always wear it down, my bald spot is right where the back of my head hits the couch. Thank you
Hi Abbey! I have been using the Hairitage argan oil elixir and have been loving it! I have fine hair and this oil is very forgiving, smells amazing, and makes my hair so shiny. I would love for you to let me know your opinion! ☺️ love your videos!
I just found your channel, it's like youtube knew I just got a haircut I hate and am trying to grow it out... Definitely taking a lot of your advice! 💙
I love your videos! Thank you so much for always being so thorough!! II'd love it if you could do a video on products that have come out for graying hair. I have seen some that claim to reverse graying, and I'd love to hear your expert opinion on whether or not that could ever work (I'm guessing the answer is no). I'd also love to hear your advice for how to best care for gray hair; for instance, should it be treated as if it is dry/damaged? I know that you're too young to have gray hair, but I'd still love to hear your thoughts regarding the science behind graying and the products that supposedly help aging hair. Thank you!!
Hi Abbey, love your content! Do you have any fragrance free shampoo and conditioner recommendations? Or hair products in general? I am very sensitive to fragrance but I want to work on my hair growth journey! Thank you so much! ❤
Great video. I have been binge watching many of your videos and some multiple times. Would you mind doing an updated porosity video. I have been oiling my hair and using protein bond products, and cleansing each wash but have not seen any improvement. It's been at least 3 months and my hair still is thin, brittle and not growing. I did the porosity test where you put your hair in water - mine floats. But yet my hair is very thin, gets wet easily and dries fairly quickly. Need help. Keep up with the great content.
Hello Abbey..I really love your suggestions as it is helping out my hair!!I am actually planning for hair botox treatment soon, could you please recommend shampoo to be used after that treatment
I would love to know a drugstore alternative for the living proof triple bond complex, I think its the only product that you haven't give us a cheaper alternative.
Hey Abby what do you think of Lush's Super Milk leave in? I got a tester and it seems it leaves my hair shiny and smooth and smells divine but I'm not sure about the ingredients as Lush has a more natural approach to their products. It does make my hair feel amazing but does it actually benefit it? Can you cover that leave in?
Love your videos ! I‘m still conscious about silicones and polymers - not because I doubt the proven benefits for hair it‘s more about the environmental impact. Could you make a video or share information about that? Would be amazing 🙏🏼
I have chin length, fine thin hair - I don't use leave in conditioner because my hair is SUPER easily weighed down and I can't use much before getting sticky. Would my heat protectant be enough? I use Kerastase thermique heat protectant, and after wash day I rub like 1 drop of oil in my hands and run through my ends.
I would like to know the real science behind heat protecting sprays/products. How do they really work? What tests have been conducted to confirm a product offers real protection? I don’t understand how they protect when my hair still responds to heat.
I have 2A, wavy, low density, dry, frizzy hair. I need to put leave-in all the way up to the roots because it’s dry /frizzy up there too, and I have wild/messy baby hairs My hair hated the Living Proof and Pureology I’ve also used IGK Good behavior Bumble and Bumble leave-in Pantene Miracle Rescue L’oréal 21 in 1 My hair didn’t hate these as much but they didn’t leave my hair soft, shiny, moisturized, frizz and tangle free. The only one I haven’t tried is Not Your Mothers If anyone has any suggestions. I have tried so many others not on this list and still do not have my leave-in holy grail. I’m at a loss.
@@pattyrobberson4152 I have not tried that, thanks so much. I dont necessarily purposely try to wear it wavy. I just air dry. I don’t scrunch and do all the things.
Hi Abbey - I left a question on the first posting of this video, so. I am retyping it. Do you recommend doing the coconut oil and the Garnier bond repair on the same day? I was wondering if the coconut oil coating might prevent the penetration of the bond repair. Thanks!
@@TexasLyoness I would say the principle is the same, like you said putting the pre oil on first will coat the air and prevent a bond treatment getting through. The oil dried out my hair though and my hair doesn't like bond products even though it should so I don't know. I was just repeating what I had heard her say in case it was helpful but it wasn't so sorry about that lol :)
Hi Abbey, have you ever tried Shu Uemura hair care? Their red mask, the Color Lustre one, saved my sister’s super damaged hair. She does do the coconut oiling and the K18, but every single time she uses that mask, her hair is incredibly and noticeably better! It’s so expensive though lol But I was wondering if you had an opinion on it and the ingredients. They also came out with a new leave-in from that line and was wonderful if it’d be worth trying out.
Do you have any thoughts on hair glazes? I was thinking about going to the drug store or going on Amazon and picking one up to get some real glass like shine on my virgin light brown hair. But I don't know which one to get? Thanks Abbey!
My sister has had good results with Cantu products. The products are targeted towards African Americans with fine curls, but works great in her thick, coarse curly hair. We are Hispanic and I ended up with very straight hair, so I can't speak for the products myself.
Abbey, Re: layering products…I love the Pureology leave-in and also Olaplex 6 and 9 leave-ins, so I often layer products. But I always wonder if you’re using a product with silicones, will anything you use after that absorb into the hair? Or does the silicone form a barrier that nothing else will then penetrate?
Have u tried Garnier leave in 10 in 1 conditioner? How does it compare to other drug store leave in spray u mentioned? U r so thorough with ur content I respect that so much ❤
Thoughts on dry shampoo? I've always been a daily washer but trying to wash less just because of time and cost, not because I believe you can "train your scalp". Also cutting out heat styling so have been doing heatless curls, but my roots are oily after a day. Batiste is my go to dry shampoo and I like it, but worry if it's doing harm to my hair/scalp. Are there any you recommend? Preferably not too pricey if possible! I'm wanting to be washing 2 or 3 times a week and then dry shampoo in-between 🤍
I think you would use it the same way she uses that Living Proof Bond treatment, leave it on for the 10 minutes then do your next step with products you use. That’s what I do. I have both of them and alternate on wash days.
Hey Abbey!! I started using the living proof bond repair, I have long healthy hard like you, and I apply it when my hair is damp and wait to blow dry but then my hair looks a little frizzy and not smooth.. maybe I should add the leave in spray for after? Or apply the bond repair when my hair is more wet? Let me know your thoughts. Love your vids!!!
You say to wait for hair to be 80-90% dry before blow drying, what if it starts to get frizzy and wavy by then and it’s harder to get it straighter or blow out look??? What’s the best way to get a blow out without damage for wavy hair
You're not having deja vu lol... had to re-upload because the original wasn't letting us get HD! Hope everyone is having a great Sunday 💗

She doesn't have either grey or coarse hair though....
@natmya243 I can see that, but she still educates people with hair types than she has.
She’s a tricologist. She knows about different types of hair. 😁
Spray it lightly with aloe vera juice every night before her leave in routine. Grey hair needs additional moisture and conditioning.
@DrSimpleBeauty thank you!! I will try that!
As a tricologist, would you be able to make a reel or video on how color protecting products work, if they even work, and recommendations you may have?

I've loved a lot of Abbey's product recommendations but as she mentions, you do have to tweak her approach if your hair is not fine/oily like hers. My coarse (wavy) grey hair, requires heavier conditioning and heat protection to avoid drying it out, so I spray or pour the leave-in conditioner on my hands and (using praying hands method) slide down a section of wet hair (you don't want to towel dry textured hair). Using a smaller amount, yes, I then apply leave-in to the hair on top of my head because that section of grey hair is easily damaged by diffusing and by the sun's UV rays. I also gently comb or brush my hair afterwards to distribute the product. You can wait until after applying curl cream/gel too, since those products will give your hair even greater slip and be less likely to damage it by brushing. Lastly, I also use hair oil after my hair is diffused and dry. I LOVE her recommendation of B&B's Invisible Oil since it also offers UV protection. If you color your hair, UV rays fade vibrant colors and if you have grey hair, UV rays can turn it yellow (hard water too).
Hi, Abbey! Good Sunday to you, too! I know you no longer advocate being a bleached blonde but instead a warm ‘colored’ blonde. Can you do a video on any blue/purple shampoos and/or conditioners for those of us who keep getting more and more brassy, starting the first or second shampoo after a lightening?!? Thanks! D
I am watching all of your older videos. I'm so happy to see a recent one so that I can thank you for all the advice I have benefitted from after following you for only a couple of weeks. I hope you see this. Dove shampoo and conditioner has changed my life! LOL... Not an overstatement. I love your videos and I feel in my spirit that I can trust your advice and that you are honest and forthright. Keep doing what you do please. Many think you're amazing and count me as one of them! 💜
Would love an updated salon video! I get my hair done in a week & a half (bleach) and am wondering which body products to use and when
I’m looking forward for that drying and styling video!!
Abbey, you are literally my haircare expert! Thank you for being passionate about hair and for spreading your knowledge
Just want to add to read the directions. Lots of times people say that something doesn’t work but they are using it wrong. My general rule of thumb is that if it doesn’t work using the directions then it probably isn’t for me. I’m just not in a place anymore to force products to work for me.
Would you be able to show your hair fully dried in it's natural state without styling it? I'd really like to see if styling it is what makes it easier to brush through and whether my hair doesn't look at good because I'm not styling it or because it's damaged
if you look at her week hair vlog which is recent you can see her hair just rough dried before styling
Hi Abbey! Thank you very much for this. Could you please also talk about hair care in cold weather? Especially how to avoid static hair, especially on dry hair. The moment it gets a little colder, my hair gets very static and as it gets colder, it gets more and more stressed, dry, and static. I tried using oil but it doesn't do it.
I love Infusium leave in spray and it's very affordable
I wish you had a website where all the products you use/ recommend are listed along with what hair/ scalp type each is most suited for, I have been watching allll your videos and because my brain is like “well what’s the best things what’s the best” I can’t figure out which products to use that you recommend. Mind you I have 2b/2c wavy curls that have been basically straight for awhile and I use strictly natural hair care 🥲 and have for…8 years 😅 so I really want to try what you’ve said cause my hair is so dull, tons of shedding, breakage and split ends, dry in the lengths oily on the scalp, itchy flakey scalp (I also have seb derm) and overall not looking like I spend $350 every 6 months to take “care” of it. Do you have any recommendation for where I should start? Mainly with shampoo conditioner and masks? Oh also I’m a natural blonde, very dense but fine hair texture, any advice would be so appreciated
I’ve started using Quai live in conditioner, Redken frizz dismiss and bumble and bumble oil after all my regular products you previously recommended. I have been really enjoying it as my final steps ;)
Can you do a video on best thermal sprays? For styling once your hair is blown dry or dry and you are ready to use heat tools. I have used aerosols and regular pump sprays and the aerosols seem to come off more greasy but they are so much easier to use. Would love to see this.
I was hoping you’d do a leave in routine! I am trying to repair my hair with your tips and I already can see a big difference🩷
idk how you do it but everytime im going to buy some hair product and i dont know which one to choose you always come with a new video for it🌸🌸
The directions for living proof bond repair are similar to K18. (Apply to damp hair and leave in for set amount of time before applying any other products) Are they the same/similar in what they do for hair?
First, thanks for being a wealth of knowledge. Second, I use the Pureology leave in based on your glowing recommendation. I have shoulder length/fine hair, so I can't get too heavy handed, but want the heat protection. Do you think scrunching it in would offer enough coverage to protect from heat?
Could you do a review on the entire Elizavacca line? I’d love your thoughts! ❤
I've only tried the mask, they have other stuff?!😅
@@SophieeeeeeHO They have a leave in mask to be used on clean hair. They also have a hair mask that is used after washing and towel drying hair. Other items they have are a shampoo, conditioner, and a hair serum.
Can you do a video explaining low porosity vs high porosity hair? And maybe product recommendations for each? 💗
I appreciate this video. I’m on the hunt for a leave in for thicker wavy hair. In the next video can you include your go to hair drying tool.
How about the colour wow dream coat? And I'd love for you to check out the L'Oréal primrose blowout oil serum ❤
they recommend using that before any other leave ins! And I will look into that!
@@AbbeyYung thank you so much, Abbey! Wishing you the best xx
I inherited an interesting hair combination from my parents: I have a lot of hair (my mom had thick, big, curly hair), but one strand is as thin as a spider web strand (my dad had very fine, thin hair). The roots get oily really fast, but drying my hair takes a life time.
The last 1/3 of my hair and the ends never get oily. For the ends I use hair mask, conditioner and leave in conditioner. Because my hair gets tangled almost instantly.
Can you give an opinion on my hair situation?
Best wishes💐
Why not Redken 25 One United? I have been told it is almost identical to Color Fanatic and less expensive to use.
It's also very light weight compared to Pureology.
Love this video, thank you. Can you please recommend other styling creams for fine/thin hair? I’m worried the balm might be too heavy. Would love to hold my style without so much hairspray which makes day 2 hair impossible. Thanks!
I just started following Abbey and now I'm binge watching her videos 😄 so for Abbey and/or those of you who are here for longer - I have a question regarding after-washing haircare.
Is it OK to use some kind of leave-in spray as a part of a routine (for example, every night before bed or every morning before going out for work)? She did answer a question about oils, but I was wondering about using some kind of a spray as a daily hair care routine. Before blow drying I use the one my hairdresser uses in her hair salon (10 in 1, similar to the one from Revlon in red spray bottle), so it can but it doesn't have to be that particular one.
My hair - fine in structure, but thick overall, currently pretty healthy. I wash it once a week as it is not that oily in scalp, but I am reconsidering that decision due to some tips Abbey has provided on why it could be a bad idea (aka more prominent hair loss over time).
Why I would like to use something routinely is because of the harsh weather conditions in the winter where I live and as a way to nurture my hair while sleeping (like I do with my skin). I'm thinking of purchasing a satin/silk cap for sleeping and/or overnight curls, so let me know if it could be a good idea to prevent hair breakage during sleep.
Thank you in advance ❤️
As some others I'm wondering how to integrate Living Proof Bond Repair and Color Wow.
But my real question is: what other heat protection would you recommend to use on dry, color treated and wavy hair? I often do the blow out one day and the next day I go in with a straightener because my hair is frizzy and also I'm not very good at straightening them just with brush and hair drier.
Thanks for all your great videos and cheers from Italy 😀
Hi Abbey! I am curious what you think of the Color Wow Money line. Specifically the Money mist leave in conditioner and Money mask.
I use these products and I like how glossy my hair is after but I am not sure they are really helping my hair long term as I still see breakage and dry ends.
I would love to have your input on these two products ❤
This is the most helpful video. I love how you explain everything. BTW - the Dove mask is the absolute best!!
Hi Abbey, can you suggest some good drugstore leave in conditioners for thin fine hair that don’t weigh your hair down?
Can you please review the Redken acidic bonding concentrate leave in treatment please
I personally love the redkin acidic leave in treatment. I have very fine naturally curly hair that is naturally white/grey. I am 62. It also has heat protectant in it. I cannot use much of what Abby recommends as we have very different hair.
editor emily did no such thing 😂😂😂 thank you sm for this video!❤
I’m glad you posted this because I’ve been feeling like the Color Fanatic LIC spray I have been using is too heavy for my naturally wavy but fine hair. Do you have any suggestions for a very light weight LIC?
I have fine wavy hair and I also find the Pureology leave-in conditioner too heavy unless my hair is just extra dry. I prefer the Redken One United leave-in conditioner. It never weighs down my hair.
@@EverythingAndNothing08 hmm never tried the Redken thank you :)
@@EverythingAndNothing08try the Kerastase Nutritive blow dry mist. I have fine thin hair and this is amazing
Davines OI All In One Milk
@@deannapeters211 Does it have a strong scent? I heard that Kerastase products are pretty heavily scented?
I learnt from the blowout professor that not all products that also claim to be heat protectants amongst other benefits actually help against heat. he tested out various peoducts on toast in the toaster lol. Very worth looking into!
Bro, lol. Look into physics. Wet bread won't toast until the liquid evaporates, NO MATTER WHAT THE LIQUID IS. You can literally just put water on bread and it won't toast. But that has no bearing on whether or not the protector is working.
@@laurel259Yeah, I think Lab Muffin did a vid on how silly that was. LOL
How often do you trim your hair? Please and thank you ❤
Thank you for all these suggestions, I have been looking for a really good leaving conditioner! Also I want to reiterate that you should be wearing a satin bonnet to bed! Please! I have noticed a big difference with my hair health and less breakage by using a bonnet at night. Or a satin lined cap. Either way.
of course! So happy to help. I can't sleep with anything covering my head, I'm a sweaty sleeper😅
Thank you for the video, love your product recommendations. I lost a few chunks of my hair and have a bald spot but haven't figured out a way to grow it back again. A bit frustrated but following some of your steps have helped me with wash day and taking care of my hair
I would go to a derm and have them check your follicles in the bald areas! 💗 And thank you for watching xx
@@AbbeyYung yeah, currently waiting to be called back for an appointment, thank you so much for posting 🤗🤗
@@AbbeyYungIs there anything that works for the balding spot. Maybe it’s with age as well, I have long hair to my shoulders and my crown area is starting to thin out😢
I LOVE the Camel Glow hair growth oil. I could never grow my baby hairs out before but I've been using it consistently for a year and seeing massive improvement regarding thickness and new hair growth.
Also switching your parting and being mindful about tight hair styles can help. And a temporary fix is using hair fibre sprays to cover the thinning spots. Hope that helps!
@@emmacarey6278 is there a fiber spray you can recommend, does it make your hair gross cause I only wash my hair every 3 days. I have never done tight hair styles, I always wear it down, my bald spot is right where the back of my head hits the couch. Thank you
I would love to hear your thoughts on Oliveda skincare? Have seen so much about it and very intrigued!
Hi Abbey! I have been using the Hairitage argan oil elixir and have been loving it! I have fine hair and this oil is very forgiving, smells amazing, and makes my hair so shiny. I would love for you to let me know your opinion! ☺️ love your videos!
Great review! Appreciate your knowledge and time invested in this topic. You have helped me achieve nice, soft hair! No fizzy ends! Thank you!,❤️❤️🥰
I just found your channel, it's like youtube knew I just got a haircut I hate and am trying to grow it out... Definitely taking a lot of your advice! 💙
I love your videos! Thank you so much for always being so thorough!! II'd love it if you could do a video on products that have come out for graying hair. I have seen some that claim to reverse graying, and I'd love to hear your expert opinion on whether or not that could ever work (I'm guessing the answer is no). I'd also love to hear your advice for how to best care for gray hair; for instance, should it be treated as if it is dry/damaged? I know that you're too young to have gray hair, but I'd still love to hear your thoughts regarding the science behind graying and the products that supposedly help aging hair. Thank you!!
Hi Abbey, love your content! Do you have any fragrance free shampoo and conditioner recommendations? Or hair products in general? I am very sensitive to fragrance but I want to work on my hair growth journey! Thank you so much! ❤
Great video. I have been binge watching many of your videos and some multiple times. Would you mind doing an updated porosity video. I have been oiling my hair and using protein bond products, and cleansing each wash but have not seen any improvement. It's been at least 3 months and my hair still is thin, brittle and not growing. I did the porosity test where you put your hair in water - mine floats. But yet my hair is very thin, gets wet easily and dries fairly quickly. Need help. Keep up with the great content.
Hello Abbey..I really love your suggestions as it is helping out my hair!!I am actually planning for hair botox treatment soon, could you please recommend shampoo to be used after that treatment
I would love to know a drugstore alternative for the living proof triple bond complex, I think its the only product that you haven't give us a cheaper alternative.
Hey Abby what do you think of Lush's Super Milk leave in? I got a tester and it seems it leaves my hair shiny and smooth and smells divine but I'm not sure about the ingredients as Lush has a more natural approach to their products. It does make my hair feel amazing but does it actually benefit it? Can you cover that leave in?
Hi Abbey, do you still use a weekly bonding treatment (K18 etc) in addition to the Living Proof bond repair? TFS ❤
Thank you so much for your valuable input! How do you get your lovely curls/waves? I struggle to find a way without using my shark styler. Much love!
Love your videos !
I‘m still conscious about silicones and polymers - not because I doubt the proven benefits for hair it‘s more about the environmental impact. Could you make a video or share information about that? Would be amazing 🙏🏼
I have chin length, fine thin hair - I don't use leave in conditioner because my hair is SUPER easily weighed down and I can't use much before getting sticky. Would my heat protectant be enough? I use Kerastase thermique heat protectant, and after wash day I rub like 1 drop of oil in my hands and run through my ends.
Depends on which kerastase heat protectant. The nutritive spray or lotion doubles as leave in.
@@ninalou4629 Chroma Absolu protecting spray
was waiting for this omgg ♥️
yay! thanks for watching 💗
Pls pls do video on at home glazing. Or talk abt glazing at home .
Hi Abbey! Can you please review the Paul Mitchell Bond RX collection? I’d also like to see you review the Matrix Instacure Build-A-Bond collection!
Your content is always so amazing!! Any affordable options for the living proof dry aerosol?
I would like to know the real science behind heat protecting sprays/products. How do they really work? What tests have been conducted to confirm a product offers real protection? I don’t understand how they protect when my hair still responds to heat.
I have 2A, wavy, low density, dry, frizzy hair. I need to put leave-in all the way up to the roots because it’s dry /frizzy up there too, and I have wild/messy baby hairs
My hair hated the Living Proof and Pureology
I’ve also used
IGK Good behavior
Bumble and Bumble leave-in
Pantene Miracle Rescue
L’oréal 21 in 1
My hair didn’t hate these as much but they didn’t leave my hair soft, shiny, moisturized, frizz and tangle free.
The only one I haven’t tried is Not Your Mothers
If anyone has any suggestions. I have tried so many others not on this list and still do not have my leave-in holy grail. I’m at a loss.
If you are wearing your hair wavy, I highly recommend Olaplex No 9 Serum for this!
I have very similar hair type and my hair loves this as a leave in.
@@pattyrobberson4152 I have not tried that, thanks so much. I dont necessarily purposely try to wear it wavy. I just air dry. I don’t scrunch and do all the things.
The Pureology leave-in conditioner is also too heavy for my fine wavy hair. I prefer the Redken One United leave-in conditioner.
Have you ever used Herbal Essences?
@@Courtannica Not any of their leave-ins. Do they have a good one ?
Can you please try Davines products? And can you make a video of what's best products for low porosity hair thanks ❤
Hi Abbey - I left a question on the first posting of this video, so. I am retyping it. Do you recommend doing the coconut oil and the Garnier bond repair on the same day? I was wondering if the coconut oil coating might prevent the penetration of the bond repair. Thanks!
in previous videos she has said she doesnt use the pre oil on bond treatment days
@@natmya243 I thought that was just for the K18 product, but I could be wrong. It might be any of them.
@@TexasLyoness I would say the principle is the same, like you said putting the pre oil on first will coat the air and prevent a bond treatment getting through. The oil dried out my hair though and my hair doesn't like bond products even though it should so I don't know. I was just repeating what I had heard her say in case it was helpful but it wasn't so sorry about that lol :)
Hi Abbey, have you ever tried Shu Uemura hair care? Their red mask, the Color Lustre one, saved my sister’s super damaged hair. She does do the coconut oiling and the K18, but every single time she uses that mask, her hair is incredibly and noticeably better! It’s so expensive though lol
But I was wondering if you had an opinion on it and the ingredients. They also came out with a new leave-in from that line and was wonderful if it’d be worth trying out.
Is there a leave in conditioner with heat protectant that contains no fragrance that you recommend?
What does your haircare routine look like when you have a seborrheic derm flare up? Or how do you prevent one?
Do you have any thoughts on hair glazes? I was thinking about going to the drug store or going on Amazon and picking one up to get some real glass like shine on my virgin light brown hair. But I don't know which one to get? Thanks Abbey!
Can you please recommend some scientific proven leave in products for curly rough dry damaged hair . I will highly appreciate your recommendation 🙏🏻
My sister has had good results with Cantu products. The products are targeted towards African Americans with fine curls, but works great in her thick, coarse curly hair. We are Hispanic and I ended up with very straight hair, so I can't speak for the products myself.
Please, talk about L'oreal Absolut Repair Molecular!
Abbey, Re: layering products…I love the Pureology leave-in and also Olaplex 6 and 9 leave-ins, so I often layer products. But I always wonder if you’re using a product with silicones, will anything you use after that absorb into the hair? Or does the silicone form a barrier that nothing else will then penetrate?
Have u tried Garnier leave in 10 in 1 conditioner? How does it compare to other drug store leave in spray u mentioned?
U r so thorough with ur content I respect that so much ❤
Thanks so much! I enjoy so much help from your videos ... Always!
Can you make a video for people who wash their hair more regularly, like every day or every other day?
What is a good dry mist heat protector that's cheaper? 😊
I would love for you to do a product review on Lange products.
To Editor/Sister Emily, your little added comments on screen make me laugh out loud. LOVE YOUR TWO CENTS WORTH 🙃🥰
Thoughts on dry shampoo? I've always been a daily washer but trying to wash less just because of time and cost, not because I believe you can "train your scalp". Also cutting out heat styling so have been doing heatless curls, but my roots are oily after a day. Batiste is my go to dry shampoo and I like it, but worry if it's doing harm to my hair/scalp. Are there any you recommend? Preferably not too pricey if possible! I'm wanting to be washing 2 or 3 times a week and then dry shampoo in-between 🤍
How can I incorporate the color wow dream coat in my routine? Or should I use it alone?
so they recommend using that before any other leave ins!
I think you would use it the same way she uses that Living Proof Bond treatment, leave it on for the 10 minutes then do your next step with products you use. That’s what I do. I have both of them and alternate on wash days.
Hey Abbey, what are your thoughts on the the “leave your conditioner in your hear and towel dry it” method??
Hey Abbey!! I started using the living proof bond repair, I have long healthy hard like you, and I apply it when my hair is damp and wait to blow dry but then my hair looks a little frizzy and not smooth.. maybe I should add the leave in spray for after? Or apply the bond repair when my hair is more wet? Let me know your thoughts. Love your vids!!!
You say to wait for hair to be 80-90% dry before blow drying, what if it starts to get frizzy and wavy by then and it’s harder to get it straighter or blow out look??? What’s the best way to get a blow out without damage for wavy hair
