I want to apologize on behalf of all those haters. You don't deserve that! It's so hard to deal with all that energy, especially when it's public. Please know that those of us who watch you for years, know your integrity!
Hi Abby I'm truly so very sorry to hear of your Gram's passing my thoughts and prayers are with you & your family at this most difficult time just remember her heart you carry in your heart forever ❤😢💔🙏
You’re one of the few people I actually still trust when it comes to recommendations! I own a hair salon in Nashville and I’ve actually told a handful of clients to check out your channel
Same girl, same. I quote abbey like she’s my trusted advisor on the regular. I used to have to say “my UA-cam beauty guru, abbey” now I just say “abbey says…” like we’re bff’s lmfao
And this is why I’ll always be a UA-cam girlie. I feel like TikTok is extremely relentless about the hate some of the creators get on that app. Probably from certain creators making a bad name on there. Everyone who knows you from UA-cam truly knows how honest and amazing you are! Don’t stress we got your back! 🥰
Oh Abbey, I am 76 years old and respect your honesty and transparency! Being an RN, it is refreshing to see you delve into the science behind the product! Your grandmother knew something about reality. You and your family are in prayer. Thank you for all your consistent hard work. Being sensitive, I understand how difficult it is to just ignore the possible damaging claims. Please don’t develop a thick skin. Stay the way you are. Forgive and try to forget your detractors. You are the true winner in the end. No doubt about it! Your goodness shines through all your videos.
I purchased the eye cream, because of the results you posted from your mom! The stuff is JUST as good for me as it was for her. 💯credible, it was never even a question. Keep moving forward, you’re killing it. Your content has completely transformed my 14 year old daughter’s hair. I appreciate you!
I can’t even understand how anyone would think you were lying. You are one of the best content creators out there and one of my favorites. It never crossed my mind that you or your mom photoshopped anything. Please don’t stop making content. You have such a gift and have taught so many of us so many things regarding hair care and skincare. I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandma. Praying for you and your family.
I love how you stick to your morals, while still being understanding of reasons why other people might make those decisions, without attacking them. One of the reasons why you are the only person whose videos I will instantly click on as soon as I see they've been posted, I trust your opinion and you are so gracious as well (that and so far everything I have tried based off your recommendation has been amazing)
Internet bullies make me so, so mad. What is wrong with some people?!!! Well, it is a bad reflection on them, not you, but I understand the anxiety. My heart goes out to you. You are such a sweetheart!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you’re taking extra care of yourself for your mental health these days! ❤ I’m also so sorry for the tiktok attacks. One thing to consider is the average age of that platform. I stopped using it over a year ago because the content and comments were very immature. Unfortunately you have to take it with a grain of salt. I’m so grateful for your UA-cam content!
As a 48 yr old woman I think that you are darling and beautiful. Darling in regards to your personality. I’ve been so impressed by your passion for what you talk about and your work ethic. You are the ONLY person who’s advise I trust with my hair. I watched that video and liked it. It never even occurred to me to question it, you’ve never given off the vibe of being untrustworthy. Sending you loads of love for your loss and the anxiety you’ve been experiencing. As someone who deals with anxiety it is a lot. Hugs! 💕
TikTok can be SO vicious. I find it so upsetting that people are so terrible online when they'd never act like that in person. I also hate that people try to "cancel" others when they don't even have any proof of wrongdoing! It's horrendous. Much love to you, Abbey 💝💝
I am so sorry for the loss of your Grandma Abby. There are very few influencers I trust on UA-cam, and you are one of those people. I truly appreciate all of the work you put into every one of your videos, and I have found many holy grail products thanks to you. We love you, keep doing what you do!!❤❤
I'm very skeptical to believe a lot of influencers recommendations these days but you have always been honest and since finding your channel you've helped me so much! I have had NEVER doubted your recommendations. You explain things straight down to the ingredients. I would be shocked if people who actually watch most of your videos would actually be calling you out like that omg. I really appreciate your honesty on your channel and you're one of the only people who can sponsor a product and have me actually take it seriously!! I stop watching channels if almost everything is sponsored because what is the point if I can't trust the reviews.
I think that's spot-on true. If someone talks up a product line too much, or suddenly changes their mind on a product, I assume there's a deal going on behind the scenes, and I'm much more skeptical when it comes to believing them in the future. I would say a solid 99% of influencers who go big tend to deny ever taking a deal and not disclosing it. It would be absolutely ridiculous to disclose every deal made because very few people would continue to watch the channel. It's just reality, and money will always talk. I absolutely adore Abbey, but I'm not buying the denial of ever accepting a deal and without being upfront. And not an ounce of me judges her for making a living by making that decision.
Oh my gosh Abbey - MY chest got tight FOR YOU describing your experience.... I'm so sorry that happened to you! I could feel how you got emotional telling us your story.
Just started watching you a few months ago and you seem to be a completely honest and transparent person to me! That’s so rare for a content creator these days, just keep doing you girl! 💕
Abbey, you’re one of the most genuine influencers and I really enjoy your content. The eye product that your mom used looked too good to be true. I literally ran to ulta after watching the video and bought it. I’m here to say that I had great results and am so grateful you posted that video. I feel like a million bucks when I use the product Love you and hope you don’t let the negative comments bring you down.
I was so touched by you talking about your Grandma, the strong interest in hair is so cool. You get to be the one to carry on her legacy. So sorry for your loss, treasure all your memories ❤️
Please don’t second guess your career path. Girls like me have followed your channel and advice and have seen real changes! Thank you for all the amazing work you’ve done to get us the most informed content its so appreciated! Onward and upward!
I love your makeup in this! I'm a digital marketer and social media manager so I get it. I'm glad you're seeking counselling to manage the anxiety. It's not easy but you will build resilience through this ❤️❤️
I'm very sorry for your loss Abbey. And thank you for being so transparent and honest. You're one of the few content creators that I actually trust when it comes to product reviews and recommendations.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother and I love the picture of her looking in a microscope. Also, I have to say I’ve watched a lot of videos and always knew you have been honest about everything you post. Try to ignore those people that think they can post hateful things, all because they are anonymous. It’s clear from your videos that you are honest and extremely professional about what you post as well as being thorough in your analysis of a product. Keep up the good work!
So sorry that you have to go through all that. I am 59 years old and love your videos. I happen to have ordered that product and love it. I never say anything negative about a UA-cam creator. I don’t ever intend too. I would not follow people that I didn’t believe. So many people are so crazy behind a screen. Much love too you! Keep doing the work you love! ❤️❤️
I absolutely love you for not wanting to create your own brand just for sake of having one. That makes me confident that my choice to trust your product reviews is a good one.
I love these GRWM vids. Tik Tok is the DEVIL. I refuse to get on it. God Bless you hun. I couldn't be a content creator. Any negative comment, I would be popping off at the mouth. And GO MAMA for helping her baby out! She is lovely!! Xoxoxo
I am from Iowa and went to a Redken beauty school. I was trained on the Tricoanlysis scope just like your Grandmother! We tested the strength of a hair strand. I was very proud to have that much knowledge about the science of hair. Your Grandmother was part of a great era of the science of hair and skin. Jerry Redken was ahead of his time!
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma, Abbey ❤️🙏 I hope you and your family are doing well. I have been watching you for around 3 yrs now. You are the first person I go to for reviews on hair care products and other beauty info, and your videos have been a tremendous help to me. Thank you for always being so genuine with us 🫶
You are one of a kind Abbey! I love you even more after watching this 💙 I’m sorry about your grandma and all the hate you received. People can be so cruel
I appreciate how much you value integrity as a creator, that’s honestly one of the biggest things that I look for with who I follow because if I can’t trust the creators to be generally honest and real with me then why bother. Also I really empathize with the situation you had on TikTok. It’s super frustrating to have so many people come after you for something that you didn’t do. I’ve had a similar situation happen and so I really empathize. 💗 Glad to hear you’re going to be working with a therapist, therapy has been really useful to me over the past couple years so I’m always happy to see it. 💛
P.S I’m sorry about what happened you’re grandma, I know what it’s like to lose a grandparent really suddenly so I hope you’re able to take the time to grieve in whatever way is best for you. 💙
Abbey, I trust you more than any other content creator. You're the only person that I will watch a video, think to myself "that's a great recommendation" and immediately order it (Vanicream and Elizavecca ❤❤). Please know how much you are loved and appreciated. To me, you're not just some beautiful lady that I watch. I really truly feel like you are one of my friends. PS...you love books just as me too!
so glad you're prioritizing taking care of yourself and figuring out a way to stay grounded when the internet comes for you. you don't deserve to suffer to do your job well!
You are one of the few that I trust on here. I'm sorry you had to go through that because i have bad anxiety and I couldn't even imagine having that stress all the time. I'm sorry about your loss also. Just know we love ya!!!! 💜🤗❤️💜🤗❤️
I’ve Always Loved your videos! You’re Extremely Honest, and I Thank You For this!! I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’ve never seen any of your videos where you weren’t honest.
I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s amazing that you and your grandma both have the same passion for truly caring about people’s wellbeing and not just pushing anything. Your realness shows through, never stop being you!
First off- this blush looks so good on you! Your whole face lit up when you put it on! Second- I love your comments about when other creators have made their own brands and then kind of lose the whole point of their previous content (trying other brands). I get they love their own and it makes sense to market it but it gets old to hear every video! Love listening to you Abbey!
It’s terrible you had to go through that experience. People are so brash and have zero self awareness. It’s a shame. You create entertaining and informative content and have always handled yourself with integrity and class. 😊❤
I always come to your videos when I’m looking for the truth about a product. You are absolutely precious and your honesty and integrity is a breath of fresh air.
I’m sorry you lost your grandma but it’s so special that you found out you have a shared niche interest. I love your content and find you to be really genuine and honest, I trust your recommendations and have found some amazing products based on them! ❤
Always appreciated your honesty Abbey! Thank you for being genuine & transparent. So sorry for your loss. Praying peace & comfort over you & your family in this difficult time 🙏🏽🤍
What a crazy, incredible full circle moment. I know I'm late but I am so sorry for your loss. She would be proud her granddaughter is following her footsteps.
I don't use tiktok and hear so many people tell me how toxic the enviroment is on there and I dont think I could go on there. I am youtube and instagram girl. I have always loved watching your videos the last couple of years and your videos have taught me so much about skin and hair care so much. I have no girl friends or siblings that would have been able to teach me this stuff that I know now that I learned from your videos so I have you to thank for your videos and content that has taught me so much and make all that stuff fun for me so thank you abbey for being like my big sister on youtube
So Impressed with maturity & sticking with your passion, your interest and listening to your inner soul and integrity. So cool you and your grandma were so into hair💕… I recently noticed Instagram is cracking down on creators not acknowledging “paid” promotions (including products that’s are gifted even if they’re not paid in dollars) do you consider gifted products as a paid promotion or sponsorship?? Should creatirs be obligated to disclose gifted products versus sponsors /paid advertised promotions? How do consumers know where creators are drawing a line?
Oh Abbey, I’m so sorry about your grandma. She sounds like an incredible woman - and how special and synchronistic that she and you both shared such a passion and curiosity for hair science! Grief is so complex because it’s also such a reflection of our love and connections - please be tender with yourself 💚 Also, ughhh, I’m so sorry about the hate. One of my least favourite facets of the Internet is the endless judgment and rampant psychological projection - remember that it’s a reflection of them more than you! You seem like such a truly caring, good soul who wants to help others in their journeys. That will always be the resounding energy of the space you create here, so all that negativity is just white noise at this point lol!
I've been following you since late last year. Your advice has definitely changed my hair! These people are so lost in themselves that they want to attack people that they don't know. Continue to teach your knowledge to us! Thanks so much. ❤
Abbey, most importantly I want to say sorry for your loss. Losing family is never easy. And on top of that you had to deal with the TikTok mob. It's rough over there, they are like lemming school bullies, it just takes one person to say something and then they all attack. That is not normal human behavior. I think you handled it with grace and I hope you never have to go through that again! Much love from your UA-cam family ❤
I’m sorry for your loss as well. My condolences. I also really appreciate your honesty as a creator. I personally have never questioned your integrity, you are one of the very few creators that I trust and actually end up purchasing products because I know you have everybody’s best interest in mind. Please take care, we love you❤
So sorry about the loss of your grandmother. Sounds like you had a great relationship but still learned something new about her. Love your integrity and can’t wait to be able to get consults with you.
Just remembered your IG post…CONGRATS on being part of the Sephora Squad! It is so well deserved. We all trust your opinion and detailed reviews on products. Sephora made a great choice 🥰
Abbey!!!! I have so much respect for you and the work you are doing here. THANK YOU for your integrity. I trust you over absolutely any creator on any app for these reasons, and that will pay off for you in the long run. I have never doubted you, and honestly, anyone who watches your youtube videos probably never doubts you either. Short form content is tough.
ALSO - love this type of videos. If you don’t already have one (if you do I haven’t seen it) I would love a video talking about your stance on clean beauty / “toxic” ingredients bc I think there is a lot of fear mongering happening online rn and I don’t know what to believe. Thank you!!!
Hey Abbey, please do a video on your fave makeup tools - brushes, sponges, lash curlers, etc. always struggle to find them best brushes for each stage of my makeup!
Sometimes its just best to let something go that brings you such anxiety, or at least take a break from it. Tiktok is a devils playground, way to many ups and downs. Stay where you feel safe. Im a super small creator and have already felt the pressures and disapointments, the clickiness, and immaturity levels of tiktok and decided to back off for a bit in not indefinitely. I AGREE, UA-cam is my safe place, the community here is so loving and feels like family. Take care beautiful and be easy on yourself, be kind to your mental health. So happy this video popped up on my feed, it really hit home on so many levels. New subscriber!! 😘
FIRST of all, the sole reason I became a huge fan of yours is that I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO concerns about your integrity/honesty/ethics, etc., etc., etc.. A close second is your ability to deep dive in such a way that is scientifically sound, thorough and entertaining. Also, for the first time in my life, I am on a true healthy hair journey, and I attribute most of my success to YOU! You are SO loved here and due to your already existing qualities, YOU WILL OVERCOME and be stronger for it!
I absolutely admire your integrity on sponsorships and love your current stance on why you're not planning on pushing a brand of your own as of now, just because you could❤❤
So sorry for your loss. Also, thanks for being an honest person! I have learned so much from you and absolutely love your videos!! Love the chat videos!
So I rarely post any comments on social media unless it's on my friends posts. And I must say, you truly feel like a friend to me. I have the honor to count your sister Em as a friend, and you seem like a natural extension to that friendship. So even though this comes super late (just caught up with your videos this weekend) just wanted to let you know how freaking much I admire you and love the content you create. Don't let the haters get you, it's just not worth it. You keep smashing it and we, your unconditional followers, will always have your back. Lots of love ❤
So so sorry about your grandma, abbey! I somehow totally missed this video and I’m so sad for you. I can so relate to losing such a special person recently. I lost my grandma, too. How freaking cool though, to find out info about your grandmas career you didn’t know before.. and to find out it puts you even closer together emotionally and in passions than you even knew?! Unimaginably cool. I mean that’s crazy!! You’re studying trichology out of your own passion and turns out your grandma was super passionate on that level, too :) Hope you’re doing well! We all love you and cannot believe the shit (sorry there isn’t a better word here) you’ve been dealing with in your world. Your supporters will always be there for you. Let the haters hate
Meanwhile, 5 Minute Crafts is telling us to put lemon juice, egg whites, and granular sugar on our faces.. You’re doing a great job! Keep doing what you’re doing 👌🏼
i’m not a big commenter but wanted to send some love today! you have helped me regain confidence in my hair after i had hair loss from covid and it might seem silly but it has made a real difference in my life, thank you so so much!!
First of all, I am sorry for your loss Abbey. Also, you are by far my favorite content creator, it is very rare to see this level of professionalism on here, as well as IG. Please ignore the haters. They're lost and we can't help them. Keep up what you're doing Abbey 🙂 You're amazing!
Abby- first, I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Sending you so much love! Second, your integrity and honesty is admirable. Please know that you have support from your followers who actually know your integrity! I love your content! You're one of my faves!! ❤
I believe in your honesty and integrity and it's one reason I love you! You are so genuine. Ant this type of video, you talking to us about real life while getting ready, is what I prefer. Take good care of you! ❤
Comments can be so brutal! I'm so sorry to hear you had to deal with that. So stressful. You're a creator that I genuinely trust isn't putting fake results out there! I'm a small creator and even I know how working on the internet can be so overwhelming with comments, etc so I can only imagine the stress you must have felt with the account of your size and the amount of comments you were getting. Sending you love and hope all that stress leaves you! Keep making your awesome videos because despite the haters, you help lots of people with the videos you make! :)
First of all, condolences on the loss of your grandmother. Second of all, I must admit that I have never commented on one of your videos before (I rarely comment on UA-cam videos in general) but I have to let you know that I've been enjoying your content for the past couple of years now. I appreciate your honesty, your integrity and your dedication to doing truthful product reviews that will benefit your viewers and are not aimed at placating the brands. I will be more careful in the future to like and comment on videos that I enjoy in order for your (and other content creators) to know that there really are a lot of people that like you and appreciate you, in spite of all the noise from Tik Tok. Keep up the good work 🙏
Sorry to hear about your grandma❤she is in a better place & her energy is there with u. Your channel is simply awesome. Forget those comments. You can never make everyone happy….don’t react to them,it’s not healthy… You are such a genuine person. Yes I don’t really know u but it’s very obvious…u are so sweet & lovable. Just continue what ur doing . I truly enjoy your videos…keep it up. By the way I’m a mother of 2 teens & im 48 so when I say you are genuine,believe me❤❤❤❤❤
You are amazing Abbey - sorry your going through all this.Stay strong - look for your path through. You are smart, engaging and ALWAY enjoy your content!! Much peace
your pickiness on sponsorships is why i have watched you for so many months/years. I try to buy from your link so you get the cash…if that’s how it works. lol Keep it up. Ignore the negative. You go back and correct any mis speaks. We love that about you!
So sorry for the loss of your grandma! I’m also sorry that you went through that experience with the pictures of your mom. I appreciate you so much, especially all of the effort you put in to be articulate and honest. It does not go unnoticed! One thing I did want to mention, I know you’ve mentioned talked your education so that it might be more applicable to cosmetic chemistry. While I’m no content creator, I am in my fifth year of a PhD. Before you continue your education, please do some exploration into the toxic environment that graduate school can be. Listening to your anxiety about being constantly attacked is reminiscent of my experience in grad school. Mine is just one experience, but something to consider if you do decide graduate studies are the right thing for you ❤️
I am so sorry about your grandma, I lost my grandma suddenly last month too and I feel your heartbreak. I'm so happy you are learning more about her, that is really special ❤
I really enjoy these chatty videos, even just chatting over and using new tested products or talking through your everyday favourites, these are my favourite kind of videos on all of UA-cam
It’s so hard to be criticized like that. I totally get it! I’m not an influencer, but posted a reel recently that got a negative comment. About shaving my dog of all things! It made me so upset and that was just one comment. The other thing I will say is that as a veterinarian we totally understand getting blasted on social media. Someone gets upset at a vet over something that may or may not have been their fault and it just goes wild on social media, yelp/google reviews, etc. and people just keep piling on. I completely agree with what you said about it affecting your mental health. It really does. Especially when you are being honest and just trying to hep people. I’m so glad that you have a positive space here on UA-cam!!
Bless your sweet heart, Abby-you have been through it this year!❤😢🫶🏻Sending you a big ole hug from a longtime sub. For what it’s worth-I hate reels, don’t have a TikTok and only watch longform. I find that when I watch one of those-I’m left w/so many questions, know they’re full of product placement or sponsored. There is even a small group of young, married influencers who flood my feed that are using their births, infertility, adoptions as the base of their content and at the end of the video you find out every product-down to the brand of pregnancy tests they use are sponsored. So, please stay off those platforms and stick w/your tribe! We love you-good luck w/the new therapist!
Aw, I love the idea of that picture of your grandmother hanging in your office! I inherited my grandmother’s piano and think of her every time I play it, and I have a picture of her at 18 sitting at the same piano hanging right next to it - it brings me so much joy! On another note - I saw that TikTok and the results are so impressive I really might have assumed it was photoshopped if I was seeing it from a creator I didn’t know or didn’t trust, but it was YOU and so I didn’t even consider that as a possibility for a moment, because I know you and trust you and understand how important honesty and integrity is to you. You’ve made that so abundantly clear in how you go about everything on your channel ❤
I’m a mom who has benefitted from your UA-cams, and I appreciate your continued knowledge and honesty. I’m here to tell you that you have too many morals and integrity for TikTok viewers. Most of them watch to be entertained for a minute timespan, not so much to get valuable information. It’s heartbreaking that there’s SO much hate/negativity responses on that platform since some viewers don’t have a problem with attacking a creator’s character. You know your heart, so I pray that you will learn to guard yourself. I would surely miss your great videos! Hugs from Louisiana!
I have been wasting hour after hour trying to find out information on products for my hair, My dear abbey, You are the only one that makes any kind of sense, Goes the extra mile to find out the truth about things, I am super grateful for you.sorry for ur loss.
Oh my gosh, I really dislike Tik Tok for the specific reason that so much info is dumped on that platform with no regard for its scientific basis or harmful potential, comments included. When creators who are more science-based or just in general more considered wade into those waters, *I* feel anxiety worrying about you all and all the toxic comment spaces on there. I’m so sorry that happened to you. As a fellow anxiety-sufferer, I’m super glad to hear you are checking in with a therapist and taking care of yourself. Thank you for your work, my hair and mental health are so much better because you are here ❤
Sorry for your loss, one of the main reason I watch your videos because you are real. One of the main reason I don’t watch Tiktok is for all the drama and negativity like this.
I want to apologize on behalf of all those haters. You don't deserve that! It's so hard to deal with all that energy, especially when it's public. Please know that those of us who watch you for years, know your integrity!
Thank you so so much ❤
I came here to say the same! You do so much us. You don’t deserve it. Love you ❤️
Hi Abby I'm truly so very sorry to hear of your Gram's passing my thoughts and prayers are with you & your family at this most difficult time just remember her heart you carry in your heart forever ❤😢💔🙏
Quick question love that braided head band can you tell me where I can get it thanks love 🥰
Yes!!❤
You’re one of the few people I actually still trust when it comes to recommendations!
I own a hair salon in Nashville and I’ve actually told a handful of clients to check out your channel
Wow thank you so much ❤
@@AbbeyYung❤❤
Same girl, same. I quote abbey like she’s my trusted advisor on the regular. I used to have to say “my UA-cam beauty guru, abbey” now I just say “abbey says…” like we’re bff’s lmfao
And this is why I’ll always be a UA-cam girlie. I feel like TikTok is extremely relentless about the hate some of the creators get on that app. Probably from certain creators making a bad name on there. Everyone who knows you from UA-cam truly knows how honest and amazing you are! Don’t stress we got your back! 🥰
The proud way you talk about your grandma and the smile in your face says a lot about how much you loved her
I’m sorry for your loss Abby. I’m you’re one of the fewer people that I actually care about watching their videos🙏🏼
Thank you so much ❤
@@AbbeyYung❤
Oh Abbey, I am 76 years old and respect your honesty and transparency! Being an RN, it is refreshing to see you delve into the science behind the product! Your grandmother knew something about reality. You and your family are in prayer. Thank you for all your consistent hard work. Being sensitive, I understand how difficult it is to just ignore the possible damaging claims. Please don’t develop a thick skin. Stay the way you are. Forgive and try to forget your detractors.

This is so true... you are a sweet lady for writing this. I agree with everything you said. ❤❤
I purchased the eye cream, because of the results you posted from your mom! The stuff is JUST as good for me as it was for her. 💯credible, it was never even a question. Keep moving forward, you’re killing it. Your content has completely transformed my 14 year old daughter’s hair. I appreciate you!

Internet bullies make me so, so mad. What is wrong with some people?!!! Well, it is a bad reflection on them, not you, but I understand the anxiety. My heart goes out to you. You are such a sweetheart!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you’re taking extra care of yourself for your mental health these days! ❤ I’m also so sorry for the tiktok attacks.

I think that's spot-on true. If someone talks up a product line too much, or suddenly changes their mind on a product, I assume there's a deal going on behind the scenes, and I'm much more skeptical when it comes to believing them in the future. I would say a solid 99% of influencers who go big tend to deny ever taking a deal and not disclosing it. It would be absolutely ridiculous to disclose every deal made because very few people would continue to watch the channel. It's just reality, and money will always talk. I absolutely adore Abbey, but I'm not buying the denial of ever accepting a deal and without being upfront. And not an ounce of me judges her for making a living by making that decision.
Oh my gosh Abbey - MY chest got tight FOR YOU describing your experience.... I'm so sorry that happened to you! I could feel how you got emotional telling us your story.
Thank you for being so open with us! So sorry about your grandma ❤
Thank you ❤
@@AbbeyYung❤❤
Just started watching you a few months ago and you seem to be a completely honest and transparent person to me! That’s so rare for a content creator these days, just keep doing you girl! 💕
Abbey, you’re one of the most genuine influencers and I really enjoy your content. The eye product that your mom used looked too good to be true. I literally ran to ulta after watching the video and bought it. I’m here to say that I had great results and am so grateful you posted that video. I feel like a million bucks when I use the product Love you and hope you don’t let the negative comments bring you down.
Thank you for sharing this and may your grandma’s memory be eternal ☦️🙏🏼 what a full circle moment about your grandma’s hair research endeavors
So special ❤
I was so touched by you talking about your Grandma, the strong interest in hair is so cool. You get to be the one to carry on her legacy. So sorry for your loss, treasure all your memories ❤️
I trust NO ONE online, but I trust you. That speaks volumes to your character. Sucks the internet is such full of hate in every single corner
Please don’t second guess your career path. Girls like me have followed your channel and advice and have seen real changes! Thank you for all the amazing work you’ve done to get us the most informed content its so appreciated! Onward and upward!
Good for you Abbey, setting the bar high with your integrity intact, we appreciate you ❤️
I love your makeup in this! I'm a digital marketer and social media manager so I get it. I'm glad you're seeking counselling to manage the anxiety. It's not easy but you will build resilience through this ❤️❤️
I'm very sorry for your loss Abbey. And thank you for being so transparent and honest. You're one of the few content creators that I actually trust when it comes to product reviews and recommendations.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother and I love the picture of her looking in a microscope. Also, I have to say I’ve watched a lot of videos and always knew you have been honest about everything you post. Try to ignore those people that think they can post hateful things, all because they are anonymous. It’s clear from your videos that you are honest and extremely professional about what you post as well as being thorough in your analysis of a product. Keep up the good work!
You’re such a breath of fresh air 🥰 the only creator that i watch almost everything of
Awww thank you so much 😊
So sorry that you have to go through all that. I am 59 years old and love your videos. I happen to have ordered that product and love it. I never say anything negative about a UA-cam creator. I don’t ever intend too. I would not follow people that I didn’t believe. So many people are so crazy behind a screen. Much love too you! Keep doing the work you love! ❤️❤️
I absolutely love you for not wanting to create your own brand just for sake of having one. That makes me confident that my choice to trust your product reviews is a good one.
I love these GRWM vids. Tik Tok is the DEVIL. I refuse to get on it. God Bless you hun. I couldn't be a content creator. Any negative comment, I would be popping off at the mouth. And GO MAMA for helping her baby out! She is lovely!! Xoxoxo
Your grandma is super inspiring. I’m so sorry you and your family lost her. Take care, Abby!
I am from Iowa and went to a Redken beauty school. I was trained on the Tricoanlysis scope just like your Grandmother! We tested the strength of a hair strand. I was very proud to have that much knowledge about the science of hair. Your Grandmother was part of a great era of the science of hair and skin. Jerry Redken was ahead of his time!
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma, Abbey ❤️🙏 I hope you and your family are doing well. I have been watching you for around 3 yrs now. You are the first person I go to for reviews on hair care products and other beauty info, and your videos have been a tremendous help to me. Thank you for always being so genuine with us 🫶
You are one of a kind Abbey! I love you even more after watching this 💙 I’m sorry about your grandma and all the hate you received. People can be so cruel
What an incredible story about your grandma!! Obviously you were meant to study hair just like her!!❤❤❤
I appreciate how much you value integrity as a creator, that’s honestly one of the biggest things that I look for with who I follow because if I can’t trust the creators to be generally honest and real with me then why bother.
Also I really empathize with the situation you had on TikTok. It’s super frustrating to have so many people come after you for something that you didn’t do. I’ve had a similar situation happen and so I really empathize. 💗
Glad to hear you’re going to be working with a therapist, therapy has been really useful to me over the past couple years so I’m always happy to see it. 💛
P.S I’m sorry about what happened you’re grandma, I know what it’s like to lose a grandparent really suddenly so I hope you’re able to take the time to grieve in whatever way is best for you. 💙
Abbey, I trust you more than any other content creator. You're the only person that I will watch a video, think to myself "that's a great recommendation" and immediately order it (Vanicream and Elizavecca ❤❤). Please know how much you are loved and appreciated. To me, you're not just some beautiful lady that I watch. I really truly feel like you are one of my friends.
PS...you love books just as me too!
so glad you're prioritizing taking care of yourself and figuring out a way to stay grounded when the internet comes for you. you don't deserve to suffer to do your job well!
You are one of the few that I trust on here. I'm sorry you had to go through that because i have bad anxiety and I couldn't even imagine having that stress all the time. I'm sorry about your loss also. Just know we love ya!!!! 💜🤗❤️💜🤗❤️
So sorry for your loss, prayers of comfort to you and your family😪🙏🙏🙏
I’ve Always Loved your videos!
You’re Extremely Honest, and I Thank You For this!!
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’ve never seen any of your videos where you weren’t honest.
I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s amazing that you and your grandma both have the same passion for truly caring about people’s wellbeing and not just pushing anything. Your realness shows through, never stop being you!
First off- this blush looks so good on you! Your whole face lit up when you put it on! Second- I love your comments about when other creators have made their own brands and then kind of lose the whole point of their previous content (trying other brands). I get they love their own and it makes sense to market it but it gets old to hear every video! Love listening to you Abbey!
It’s terrible you had to go through that experience. People are so brash and have zero self awareness. It’s a shame. You create entertaining and informative content and have always handled yourself with integrity and class. 😊❤
I always come to your videos when I’m looking for the truth about a product. You are absolutely precious and your honesty and integrity is a breath of fresh air.
Aww Abbey the microscope story is so cool!! You definitely took after her 🥹. I’m so glad you found that!
Sending love
You’re one creator I NEVER question about lying. You’re amazing and I know the majority of us trust you completely. ❤
I’m sorry you lost your grandma but it’s so special that you found out you have a shared niche interest. I love your content and find you to be really genuine and honest, I trust your recommendations and have found some amazing products based on them! ❤
Always appreciated your honesty Abbey! Thank you for being genuine & transparent. So sorry for your loss. Praying peace & comfort over you & your family in this difficult time 🙏🏽🤍
What a crazy, incredible full circle moment. I know I'm late but I am so sorry for your loss. She would be proud her granddaughter is following her footsteps.
I don't use tiktok and hear so many people tell me how toxic the enviroment is on there and I dont think I could go on there. I am youtube and instagram girl. I have always loved watching your videos the last couple of years and your videos have taught me so much about skin and hair care so much. I have no girl friends or siblings that would have been able to teach me this stuff that I know now that I learned from your videos so I have you to thank for your videos and content that has taught me so much and make all that stuff fun for me so thank you abbey for being like my big sister on youtube
So Impressed with maturity & sticking with your passion, your interest and listening to your inner soul and integrity. So cool you and your grandma were so into hair💕… I recently noticed Instagram is cracking down on creators not acknowledging “paid” promotions (including products that’s are gifted even if they’re not paid in dollars) do you consider gifted products as a paid promotion or sponsorship?? Should creatirs be obligated to disclose gifted products versus sponsors /paid advertised promotions? How do consumers know where creators are drawing a line?
Oh Abbey, I’m so sorry about your grandma. She sounds like an incredible woman - and how special and synchronistic that she and you both shared such a passion and curiosity for hair science!
Grief is so complex because it’s also such a reflection of our love and connections - please be tender with yourself 💚
Also, ughhh, I’m so sorry about the hate. One of my least favourite facets of the Internet is the endless judgment and rampant psychological projection - remember that it’s a reflection of them more than you! You seem like such a truly caring, good soul who wants to help others in their journeys. That will always be the resounding energy of the space you create here, so all that negativity is just white noise at this point lol!
I really admire your character and completely trust you because of it ♥️ thank you for being you and sharing your content with us
I've been following you since late last year. Your advice has definitely changed my hair! These people are so lost in themselves that they want to attack people that they don't know. Continue to teach your knowledge to us! Thanks so much. ❤
Abbey, most importantly I want to say sorry for your loss. Losing family is never easy. And on top of that you had to deal with the TikTok mob. It's rough over there, they are like lemming school bullies, it just takes one person to say something and then they all attack. That is not normal human behavior. I think you handled it with grace and I hope you never have to go through that again! Much love from your UA-cam family ❤
I’m sorry for your loss as well. My condolences. I also really appreciate your honesty as a creator. I personally have never questioned your integrity, you are one of the very few creators that I trust and actually end up purchasing products because I know you have everybody’s best interest in mind. Please take care, we love you❤
So sorry about the loss of your grandmother. Sounds like you had a great relationship but still learned something new about her. Love your integrity and can’t wait to be able to get consults with you.
Just remembered your IG post…CONGRATS on being part of the Sephora Squad! It is so well deserved. We all trust your opinion and detailed reviews on products. Sephora made a great choice 🥰
Thanks!
Abbey!!!! I have so much respect for you and the work you are doing here. THANK YOU for your integrity. I trust you over absolutely any creator on any app for these reasons, and that will pay off for you in the long run. I have never doubted you, and honestly, anyone who watches your youtube videos probably never doubts you either. Short form content is tough.
ALSO - love this type of videos. If you don’t already have one (if you do I haven’t seen it) I would love a video talking about your stance on clean beauty / “toxic” ingredients bc I think there is a lot of fear mongering happening online rn and I don’t know what to believe. Thank you!!!
The story of your grandma and her love for hair gave me chills. You definitely took after her. If you do a hair brand name it after your grandma!
Hey Abbey, please do a video on your fave makeup tools - brushes, sponges, lash curlers, etc. always struggle to find them best brushes for each stage of my makeup!
Sometimes its just best to let something go that brings you such anxiety, or at least take a break from it. Tiktok is a devils playground, way to many ups and downs. Stay where you feel safe. Im a super small creator and have already felt the pressures and disapointments, the clickiness, and immaturity levels of tiktok and decided to back off for a bit in not indefinitely. I AGREE, UA-cam is my safe place, the community here is so loving and feels like family. Take care beautiful and be easy on yourself, be kind to your mental health. So happy this video popped up on my feed, it really hit home on so many levels. New subscriber!! 😘
I also just lost my mom’s mom last week. The grieving process is weird but healing ❤️ love you and your content. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
FIRST of all, the sole reason I became a huge fan of yours is that I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO concerns about your integrity/honesty/ethics, etc., etc., etc.. A close second is your ability to deep dive in such a way that is scientifically sound, thorough and entertaining. Also, for the first time in my life, I am on a true healthy hair journey, and I attribute most of my success to YOU! You are SO loved here and due to your already existing qualities, YOU WILL OVERCOME and be stronger for it!
Hi Susan, how’s your day going with you?
I absolutely admire your integrity on sponsorships and love your current stance on why you're not planning on pushing a brand of your own as of now, just because you could❤❤
So sorry for your loss. Also, thanks for being an honest person! I have learned so much from you and absolutely love your videos!! Love the chat videos!
Hi Stephanie, how’s your day going with you?
So I rarely post any comments on social media unless it's on my friends posts. And I must say, you truly feel like a friend to me. I have the honor to count your sister Em as a friend, and you seem like a natural extension to that friendship. So even though this comes super late (just caught up with your videos this weekend) just wanted to let you know how freaking much I admire you and love the content you create. Don't let the haters get you, it's just not worth it. You keep smashing it and we, your unconditional followers, will always have your back. Lots of love ❤
So so sorry about your grandma, abbey! I somehow totally missed this video and I’m so sad for you. I can so relate to losing such a special person recently. I lost my grandma, too. How freaking cool though, to find out info about your grandmas career you didn’t know before.. and to find out it puts you even closer together emotionally and in passions than you even knew?! Unimaginably cool. I mean that’s crazy!! You’re studying trichology out of your own passion and turns out your grandma was super passionate on that level, too :)
Hope you’re doing well! We all love you and cannot believe the shit (sorry there isn’t a better word here) you’ve been dealing with in your world. Your supporters will always be there for you. Let the haters hate
You are so well-spoken and honest, Abby. Please keep going!
Meanwhile, 5 Minute Crafts is telling us to put lemon juice, egg whites, and granular sugar on our faces..
You’re doing a great job! Keep doing what you’re doing 👌🏼
The Welsh twins would love this comment! 💜🖤
@@lisarauschenbach9959 They totally would 🤣
All the while getting over 80 million subscribers and a gazzilion views. Money talks.
@@TracyD2 💯
i’m not a big commenter but wanted to send some love today! you have helped me regain confidence in my hair after i had hair loss from covid and it might seem silly but it has made a real difference in my life, thank you so so much!!
Omg abbey I’m sorry you had that experience on tik tok, definitely uncalled for and I’m also sorry for your loss.
First of all, I am sorry for your loss Abbey. Also, you are by far my favorite content creator, it is very rare to see this level of professionalism on here, as well as IG. Please ignore the haters. They're lost and we can't help them. Keep up what you're doing Abbey 🙂 You're amazing!
Abby- first, I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Sending you so much love! Second, your integrity and honesty is admirable. Please know that you have support from your followers who actually know your integrity! I love your content! You're one of my faves!! ❤
I believe in your honesty and integrity and it's one reason I love you! You are so genuine. Ant this type of video, you talking to us about real life while getting ready, is what I prefer. Take good care of you! ❤
Hi Helene, how’s your day going with you?
Love you so much! You should have millions of subscribers! ❤
I really appreciate your transparency! This is the reason why I subscribed over 2 years ago. And sorry for your loss sending love.
Comments can be so brutal! I'm so sorry to hear you had to deal with that. So stressful. You're a creator that I genuinely trust isn't putting fake results out there! I'm a small creator and even I know how working on the internet can be so overwhelming with comments, etc so I can only imagine the stress you must have felt with the account of your size and the amount of comments you were getting. Sending you love and hope all that stress leaves you! Keep making your awesome videos because despite the haters, you help lots of people with the videos you make! :)
First of all, condolences on the loss of your grandmother. Second of all, I must admit that I have never commented on one of your videos before (I rarely comment on UA-cam videos in general) but I have to let you know that I've been enjoying your content for the past couple of years now. I appreciate your honesty, your integrity and your dedication to doing truthful product reviews that will benefit your viewers and are not aimed at placating the brands. I will be more careful in the future to like and comment on videos that I enjoy in order for your (and other content creators) to know that there really are a lot of people that like you and appreciate you, in spite of all the noise from Tik Tok. Keep up the good work 🙏
Sorry to hear about your grandma❤she is in a better place & her energy is there with u.
Your channel is simply awesome. Forget those comments. You can never make everyone happy….don’t react to them,it’s not healthy…
You are such a genuine person. Yes I don’t really know u but it’s very obvious…u are so sweet & lovable. Just continue what ur doing . I truly enjoy your videos…keep it up.
By the way I’m a mother of 2 teens & im 48 so when I say you are genuine,believe me❤❤❤❤❤
You are amazing Abbey - sorry your going through all this.Stay strong - look for your path through. You are smart, engaging and ALWAY enjoy your content!! Much peace
I saw that video on TikTok & never doubted you once - you have such authenticity and proven track record and you’re always honest
your pickiness on sponsorships is why i have watched you for so many months/years. I try to buy from your link so you get the cash…if that’s how it works. lol Keep it up. Ignore the negative. You go back and correct any mis speaks. We love that about you!
So sorry for the loss of your grandma! I’m also sorry that you went through that experience with the pictures of your mom. I appreciate you so much, especially all of the effort you put in to be articulate and honest. It does not go unnoticed!
One thing I did want to mention, I know you’ve mentioned talked your education so that it might be more applicable to cosmetic chemistry. While I’m no content creator, I am in my fifth year of a PhD. Before you continue your education, please do some exploration into the toxic environment that graduate school can be. Listening to your anxiety about being constantly attacked is reminiscent of my experience in grad school. Mine is just one experience, but something to consider if you do decide graduate studies are the right thing for you ❤️
Abbey you’re seriously one of the best on UA-cam thanks so much for being so trustworthy 😊
Also your blush is sooo pretty I need to pick that up
I am so sorry about your grandma, I lost my grandma suddenly last month too and I feel your heartbreak. I'm so happy you are learning more about her, that is really special ❤
I really enjoy these chatty videos, even just chatting over and using new tested products or talking through your everyday favourites, these are my favourite kind of videos on all of UA-cam
It’s so hard to be criticized like that. I totally get it! I’m not an influencer, but posted a reel recently that got a negative comment. About shaving my dog of all things! It made me so upset and that was just one comment. The other thing I will say is that as a veterinarian we totally understand getting blasted on social media. Someone gets upset at a vet over something that may or may not have been their fault and it just goes wild on social media, yelp/google reviews, etc. and people just keep piling on. I completely agree with what you said about it affecting your mental health. It really does. Especially when you are being honest and just trying to hep people. I’m so glad that you have a positive space here on UA-cam!!
Bless your sweet heart, Abby-you have been through it this year!❤😢🫶🏻Sending you a big ole hug from a longtime sub. For what it’s worth-I hate reels, don’t have a TikTok and only watch longform. I find that when I watch one of those-I’m left w/so many questions, know they’re full of product placement or sponsored. There is even a small group of young, married influencers who flood my feed that are using their births, infertility, adoptions as the base of their content and at the end of the video you find out every product-down to the brand of pregnancy tests they use are sponsored. So, please stay off those platforms and stick w/your tribe! We love you-good luck w/the new therapist!
Aw, I love the idea of that picture of your grandmother hanging in your office! I inherited my grandmother’s piano and think of her every time I play it, and I have a picture of her at 18 sitting at the same piano hanging right next to it - it brings me so much joy!
On another note - I saw that TikTok and the results are so impressive I really might have assumed it was photoshopped if I was seeing it from a creator I didn’t know or didn’t trust, but it was YOU and so I didn’t even consider that as a possibility for a moment, because I know you and trust you and understand how important honesty and integrity is to you. You’ve made that so abundantly clear in how you go about everything on your channel ❤
I’m a mom who has benefitted from your UA-cams, and I appreciate your continued knowledge and honesty. I’m here to tell you that you have too many morals and integrity for TikTok viewers. Most of them watch to be entertained for a minute timespan, not so much to get valuable information. It’s heartbreaking that there’s SO much hate/negativity responses on that platform since some viewers don’t have a problem with attacking a creator’s character. You know your heart, so I pray that you will learn to guard yourself. I would surely miss your great videos! Hugs from Louisiana!
I have been wasting hour after hour trying to find out information on products for my hair, My dear abbey, You are the only one that makes any kind of sense, Goes the extra mile to find out the truth about things, I am super grateful for you.sorry for ur loss.
I just lost my grandmother last week too :( I am so sorry for your loss. You are one of my top creators to follow- don't let the hate stopyou!
@beautywithkat
So sorry for your loss too. Hope you can find some peace. Take care.❤
Oh my gosh, I really dislike Tik Tok for the specific reason that so much info is dumped on that platform with no regard for its scientific basis or harmful potential, comments included. When creators who are more science-based or just in general more considered wade into those waters, *I* feel anxiety worrying about you all and all the toxic comment spaces on there. I’m so sorry that happened to you. As a fellow anxiety-sufferer, I’m super glad to hear you are checking in with a therapist and taking care of yourself. Thank you for your work, my hair and mental health are so much better because you are here ❤
Sorry for your loss, one of the main reason I watch your videos because you are real. One of the main reason I don’t watch Tiktok is for all the drama and negativity like this.
