Hair training as well as scalp oiling caused me to have SEVERE dermatitis that lead to horrendous hair fall. I went to a dermatologist and learned I simply needed to wash more after using a prescribed shampoo for 8 weeks. I also started following you and started implicating your other tips. I now have tailbone length, healthy hair. thank you for all that you do in pursuit of hair science!🙏 😊
@@vannessacrispin5140that's a phrase for people with dry scalp who can prolong the time between washes.If you have oily scalp you need to wash more often otherwise you might get scalp issues - I wash every other day and I tried that nonsense of hair training (I washed only 2x a week instead of 3-4x)and no sulphates and my hair started to fall out like crazy bc my scalp wasn't properly clean.Not to mention the itchy scalp 🙈
@@vannessacrispin5140it's that you wash your hair less- it works if you have dry scalp.Lets say instead of every other day,you wash every 3rd day and after while the hair should get oily less quickly.Oily scalp needs washing more often (and SLS)otherwise it's not clean properly and you might risk hair loss and scalp issues.I had both 😑🙈
Can you do a series on hair coloring? I’ve never had to color my hair but I know the day is coming and I know nothing about it. It’s like a foreign language. I’d like to know what to ask the hair stylist… for someone with dark brown hair who will eventually need to hide grays. Or maybe do a video with a hair colorist? Thanks!
I'd also like for you to talk about using henna as a hair dye. I've been using henna; it gives a beautiful magenta hue and is a natural plant. From what I understand, it's actually good for your hair.
Y’know, I’m just going to put it out there that you don’t have to color your hair- gray is beautiful too. Do you, obviously!! Beautiful is how you feel. I’ve been salt n’ pepper since my late teens. After years (and literal thousands of dollars), I just embraced the gray. And it looks great. And my hair is healthier.
I’m a dark brunette who started going gray at age 12 (early greys runs in the family) I get balayage done like once or twice a year. I try not to get too much bleach done so I’ll go in for root touch ups or just my natural color all over, the balayage helps blend the gray hair
@phigmentor You are 100% right! Gray is beautiful and works on people more than they realize. My gray is more on the back of my head so I don't see it. I just use the henna to have some color. One day, I will embrace the gray!
Could you do a detangling video, with emphasis on reducing breakage while brushing? Like if it's better to detangle hair wet or dry, what products to use, the best brushes, and proper technique. Also, tips for impatient girlie's who just want to rip their hair out with the brush.
Yes please. I feel like my hair is so damaged bc it’s so hard to detangle and it keeps breaking but i really dont do anything damaging to it. Ive never colored it, never used any keratin or other salon chemical treatments, and I heat style verrry rarely on special occasions (like weddings or big events) and its always done by a professional stylist if i do (im not good at doing it myself- it just winds up making me look like cousin it lol). My hair is curlyish/wavy- but it’s more frizz than curl honestly and it tangles so easily! I cant brush it dry so i guess that contributes but i sleep on a satin pillowcase and im not rough with it. I’d love for some tips to make it more manageable and cause less breakage.
I’m 10 yrs older than you, so I remember when “sulfates are evil” messaging started. It started with curly hair (and I have curly hair so I was very early on the bandwagon). Absolutely brands are going to start (or rather, go back to) using proper shampooing agents. There’s this complex dance between brand marketing and consumer demands…we danced our way to shampoos that don’t cleanse, and now we’ll just dance our way back LOL.
Thank you for being real with this video and not acting like those influencers or hair stylist I see on TikTok all the time who just feel like they have this moral superiority, and demonize things like coloring or using heating tools on your hair, and who says that basically you can't have amazing hair if you do any of those things, because it is a fact people use them, and will keep using them! I am someone who uses heating tools because I personally prefer how I look with straight or wavy hair rather than with my natural curls (and yes, before anyone says anything, I've tried the CGM, and I know how to style my curls, I just don't like it on me personally), so it's nice to see for once someone say that you can still have beautiful, healthy hair even when coloring your hair or using heat
I am new to your channel and I have curly hair, I am so happy you are talking about washing more often, because in the curly community it is such a big thing to go days and days without washing while putting on more products, I never followed the curly girl method because it didn't work for me with having hard water I wash my hair every day and my hair loves it and I feel clean and fresh, I just learned to use a minimum amount of products to make my morning routine simple, it takes me max maybe 15 minutes, I use the Pantene curly line and clarify once a week with Pantene volume and body followed by a deep conditioner once a week.
As a hairstylist who’s tried ALOT of products for bonding strength the Kerastase line is very good! The hair mask is 10/10 especially, as well as the serum. But id reccomend trying the whole series out, maybe ask a salon if you can have your hair washed there with the products to feel the difference ❤️ it’s my favourite series along with the Redken acidic bonding and the k18 😊
I would love to see a coconut oil video update including addressing controversies behind it! Many people with healthy and low porosity hair find it does make the hair healthier yet more prone to build up. Also interested to know if coconut oil is a good substitute for bond repair treatments!
How would an oil be a substitute for a hair repair treatment? Like do you even know what the products are doing? An oil is coating your hair, it is not chemically changing your hair structure like a hair repair treatment. How is that even a question?
@@ducklingscap897 of course I know oil can't chemically repair the hair, but Abbey does say coconut oil helps to prevent damage from happening. Coconut oil can help prevent protein loss, hence prevent damage.
I’ve been watching since you were in your old (pre Chicago) apartment but still in MI ☺️ I remember when you were still a believer in hair scalp training. I was pretty sure it wasn’t a thing, but I didn’t have the chutzpah to dispute it. You’ve come SO FAR, since! As others have said, my hair has improved so much by using your advice and expertise. So I thank you very much.!!!!
Leaps & bounds in the hair science knowledge department since my early UA-cam days 😂 Thank you so much for being here since then!! I'm so happy to hear that 🥰
Also I love the bite-size talking videos! I think it’s a great way to diversify your channel, mixing in lower-effort content so that you can make the longer videos without burning out or (alternatively) your channel losing traction.
Agreed! I have been trying to think through ways to prevent the burnout that is just always present and this helped for sure last week. Thanks for the thoughtful comment 😊
Could you do a video discussing your trichilogist journey? How you started, what schooling you did and any licensure or certification you did? I would love to learn more about that and how to maybe also get into that.
As someone who used to watch you about 4 years ago for a few years and then stopped (I started a different job and wasn’t able to listen to UA-cam as much as I did when I was a driver) this is literally life changing 😂 I learned all of my hair care routines from you as I never had anyone to teach me and I was just learning to take better care of myself after being on a very strict religious program. This is all very good information. Even though I wasn’t watching your videos, a few of these things I just learned organically but my favorite thing about you is that you’re so honest and humble with us. You give us the best information that you have available to you right now. I used to be one of the first to watch all your new videos and I am excited that I have so many to catch h up on!! Thank you so much for being a trailblazer and doing so much work to help us out, your amazing Abbey!❤
Could you do a video on if lightening with high lift color and high volume is better for hair integrity than bleach and low volume developer? Just more on us blonde who want to lighten or highlight! I like something cooler toned because it suits my skin tone more. Worried high lift would make me quite warm?
Was just asking myself the same question. I'm a soft summer and prefer neutral cool tones. High lift tints do come with cooler shades, they might not turn out as cool though. Depends on your natural hair, but you could still tone it afterwards.
I have tried highlift blonde with 30 and 40 volume to go from a level 6 to a lighter blonde (an 8 would be nice). But it was so brassy because it lifted just enough to expose the orange and yellow pigments in my hair. Currently I use 10 volume with cream lightener and it lifts to a 9/10, past the orange stage. I still need toner afterwards. I wish there was formula that could lift my color from a 6 to an 8 or 9, but give a permanent beige, neutral or ash tone. Because I love a clean-feeling scalp, I wash every other day and toner only lasts 3 weeks.
same, I was worried my hair would fall off if I used sulphate shampoo, until you explained in detail why we do want a clean scalp, not an oily one! Thank you
This was useful to hear! Because some of are still clicking around your older videos and taking years old tips from you. I wish you could update some parts of older videos where you’ve since learned better
Abbey - in the UK Pantene’s bond repair treatment line (in the gold bottles) have their own shampoo and conditioner (different ingredients than the ones you reviewed in the blue tubes)! Wish you could pls try them :) you’re the only one I trust with my hair, even if just the ingredients
I'm all for deep cleansing, but am VERY thankful for the brands that are sulfate-free. Sulfates trigger horrific migraines for me, so while I don't find them damaging for my hair, I avoid them like the plague. I just have to find other methods to deep-clean.
@@bringontherainbows8369 An apple cider vinegar rinse before shampooing has worked great for me - and it doesn't leave my hair smelling like vinegar. I use half vinegar, half water. There is also a brand called Routine that gives me a really good cleanse without having any sulfates. It's expensive, but it works well.
having an oily scalp and not washing it frequently made it a nightmare for me during lockdown. i developed a dermatitis and it’s so itchy 🥲 i wash my hair 2/3 times a week now instead of once a week like i used to…
Hair training and oiling actually worked wonders for me hair! I’m actually so glad I followed your old advice, it changed my hair health. Washing every 2 days was way too hard on my hair, I now wash once a week and my hair is silkier than ever
Years ago my hair was shiny, healthy and would get sooo many compliments. I used to use Pantene and Tresemmé products. Now everyone says they are so bad for you. I’m getting older so my hair is changing but I miss my pretty hair.
Thank you for the hair training admission. I have said for years and years; if hair training (which is scalp) were real, people with an oily face would "train" their face to not be oily. Oil glands are oil glands, and the way they produce oil is innate -- not trained. Believe me. I have had oily skin (with severe acne) and oily hair my whole life, and I am 56. The smell of people's "trained" hair when it hasn't been washed for days makes me want to puke when I am in line behind them at the grocery or a department store. Yuck!
Yes to a series! Also I would love a video on how to protect your hair when heat styling. I never know how to properly apply heat protection. Thank you always. you're the best ❤
I’d love to see a video where you show your hair through your regular week, so like a vlog across each day and show us how you’re wearing your hair for different activities etc. Your hair is gorgeous in your vids but it’s always long and flowing, would be nice to see how you change it up off camera!
Can you do a video on handling a dry scalp? Also, Elizavecca has a whole range of hair products on Amazon and I would LOVE a video from you over their lineup!
I wash my hair every 3 days. I used to wash it every 6 days so 1x a week because I thought that washing hair too much would make your hair fall out and dirty hair grew. Now I know that cleaner hair grows
Washing my hair with a double shampoo method 2x a week which I got from your channel, has really helped my hair texture and my longevity and frizz. I have wavy frizzy hair that is growing out from previous bleach damage and dye processing. I used to wash one time a week because I don't ever get oily, just dry, but my dryness and dandruff (non-medically diagnosed) has been improved majorly because of shampooing more often and more thoroughly. I am not saying I will never ever process my hair again but for now I am avoiding bleach like the plague and I dyed my hair once in early August and I don't want to process it again until about a year from now.
Thank you for all that you do!! I would love a series on age factors! I’m 44 and had my hair severely damaged by bleach a year ago. Not only have I lost so much density and thickness but now it seems to have slowed in growing back. Would love to hear if age is a factor at this point, can the hair heal and what products you recommend for someone my age and up! It’s getting better but after a year it’s still not the same. You have been my shinning light throughout my process and thank you for all your advice! ❤
I didn't use shampoo for five years. Lots of conditioner, lots of rubbing, lots of rinsing, and my hair looked great. BUT i had to "wash" it almost every day and stay away from silicones. With actual shampoo with sulfates I can wash twice a week instead and use silicones and it looks great with lots less effort.
I would love to see an in depth video on bond repair products. More specifically, do you need to use a bond repair shampoo and conditioner or is just a conditioner/mask effective enough? Do bond repair shampoo’s work as well as bond repair conditioners since they don’t sit in your hair as long, should I be letting the shampoo sit on my hair for longer than a regular shampoo? Is it ok to use a bond repair shampoo and conditioner every wash?
I’m pretty sure that she made videos about that already. Also no the shampoo doesn’t work that well. If you invest in a repair product it should always be the conditioner or hair mask. Just use normal shampoo.
Would love to see more of this series. I am a person with virgin hair, but I had no idea going to bed with my hair not protected was causing breakage, and tight ponytails etc. While I may not be a color or heat queen, my scalp and hair health thank you so much, I have so many things in my routine "Abbey inspired that purchase". Brush cleaning/picking was the major thing that has made my life so much easier. Thank you for your content 😊
Yay love your videos! I have an idea for you if you haven’t thought of it: I’m a busy mom and I don’t always have time for these big multi step haircare routines! I am not quick to begin with lol. If you had to pair down your routine to only the most important and quick to complete steps for a busy mom who sometimes only gets 15 min to do everything in the shower, what would you do? It could even be a fun challenge video or like “the fastest I can complete my routine” lol!
Thank you. I am in Maple Grove. Would love to see your hair stylist. I have dry coarse hair. Never has my hair been oily on its own, without putting too much oil on it.
I also stopped full foil bleaching, which I had done for 10 years from black to maintaining blonde, until covid hit and ruined it all. My hair was fried so i chopped it all off and now just keep my hair dark brown. i grew out all the bleach and my hair is much better condition, I don't have to use a million hair products just to tame bleach frizz and breakage
They are a tad expensive but the ingredients are high quality, no cheap and irritating chemicals added… The Miriam Quevedo hair care products. I hair white, damaged hair but I’m hair looks completely healthy, shiny, like it’s my nature hair. Along with using K18 here and there..that helped before I started using these products, I don’t use k18 much because I find that my hair feels and looks better when I don’t use it as much. My hair is amazing when I use the Glacier white caviar and or the extreme/hair loss caviar shampoo and conditioner, the rose stem cell multiplying leave in conditioner, the reconstructing luxe serum.. Sometimes I do an oil on the ends like the Aveda dry moisture 🙌
I think a valid ingredient to avoid in hair products is MI (methylisothiazolinone). It's a highly sensitizing preservative for an ever increasing number of people. Dr. Dray mentions it frequently.
I agree. My husband is extremely allergic to MI. Found outvthrough allergy testing. And it is used in so many things as a preservative. He got hearing aids and within a few hours of wearing them he was throwing up, every time he tried to wearvthem. Had to have extensive allergy testing to find out it was MI.
Would love to hear about tips for thinning/hair loss on the hairline! I feel like my head of hair is healthy but because my hair is thin, my hairline is so bad!!
Abby your hair a proof that you have gone through some extensive journey. I just got my hair bleached and they are a mess… I wish I was in your area to see your stylist.. in the mean while I am trying to do everything you shared. Ordering the off coconut oil and whatever else you recommend! ❤❤❤
plz do a curly/ wavy hair science based routine! when to brush and how and which types of products to use! creams or gels or serums or silicone based oils!!! cuz I have wavy hair and I do not know what to do with it! it is so detangeled
Excellent video. Yes, please more of the same specific topic. Cordially, TR PS Perhaps an episode on dry, fine curly heads?! What should our wash routine be?
This is quite interesting! I love how you share your journey and how you have changed your haircare as you have learned more. I avoided sulfates because I have highlighted hair and most hairstylists that I’ve gone to in nyc say to avoid them to preserve color. Can you comment on that?
Hey Abbey could you please do a video on the best protectants/sprays for humidity that you’ve found? I have been struggling for years to find a good one 😂 Thank you again for this video your tips have completely changed my hair for the better even my stylist is so impressed
I use a regular shampoo or depends on my needs and wash it at least 2 times until I feel the oil is gone. I have to wash my hair daily. I also use one shampoo from the pharmacy that is for dandruff, oily hair, dermatitis and very itchy hair and it does wonders. I don't understand who washes hair once a week and not very often. My hair falls off from all the oil and if I don't dry my hair after the shower it does the same, falls a lot for being wet and causes a lot of breakage. It's common sense. On the other hand I know people with dry hair have other needs and who has curls too and goes on... My condolences for the girls that don't have hairdressers that are knowledge on how to work on curly hair :') I am lucky tho but I had these ladies telling me that ohh don't wash your haiiirrrr so muchhhh. Gurl did you ever see me on a morning or at night after an agitated day with a oily scalp? I could make a fried egg for your breakfast or two. I wish there would be more comprehension for who has oily hair.
Oh my goodness I hope you get better quickly! I could tell in your voice you’re congested when I started the video. I just got over Covid a couple weeks ago and the headaches and congestion is still there. And I’m fatigued
Really appreciate you sharing your journey to healthy hair, including mistakes made along the way 🙂 As my white/gray roots need to be colored every 5 weeks, I would appreciate any suggestions for lessening damage. I have discussed a "high lift tint" with my stylist but we both thought the end result would be too warm for my skin tone. Any suggestions?
Ive just bought the pantene bond repair shampoo, treatment & mask after watching your bond repair show down. Currently saving to buy a house & K18 is just too expensive now.
Gotta say it - I LISTEN to your videos on my headphones, just like they were a podcast but when I hear you talking to your dog… well, I start watching INSTANTLY! 😂💖
❤great video‼️ Thanks for jumping off the 1xweek/“hair training” nonsense…which just makes people smell 🤢 I’ve always been an everyday girly, tried not to be for a minute and paid for it with major scalp issues. Also I tried the Wen “system”, a decade ago, which caused same thing…because I NEED to wash my scalp every day😊
girl i literally just had covid too. 8 days of positive tests, 12 days of pretty severe symptoms and counting 😫 feel better!! also, shorter videos might be great for those of us trying to share your vids with friends. my little sis refuses to listen to my hair advice (*cough* Your advice), and shorter vids might be easier to convince her to watch 🤷♀️ but you do you! i’ll be watching regardless ❤️
@@AbbeyYung i personally love longer videos bc im never out here asking questions after. but shorter spurts might be easier on your voice and brain! whatever works best for you obviously :)
The way our current version of ‘sulphates bad’ ‘silicones bad’ ultimately trace back to the ‘curly girl method’ is so funny that woman alone has done so much damage lol
I'm glad people are speaking up against the clean beauty propaganda.. I enjoy my shampoos with SLES. I wish people could cut their hair when it's needed as well.. Long hair doesn't look nice if half of it is thin and stringy. I had to cut off a lot a while ago, but I rather have a little less long but full hair, than having really long stringy hair.
I don’t use sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate because it causes allergic reactions on my scalp. So it would be great to know shampoos that don’t contain those and how much you like them.
I am also allergic (like many) but Abbey never addresses this common allergy because she likes harsh sulfates and is sponsored by companies that use them.
@@nothanksmegan I’m a chemist, not all sulfates are ‘harsh’ & she recommends them because they can be great for people who aren’t allergic to get rid of buildup. I’m not allergic to sulfates & I have to use them to get my hair clean. Every time I use a sulfate free shampoo, my scalp is greasy immediately. Please don’t demonize ingredients just because you have an allergy. I hope you’re able to find something that works for you!!
I just started following you this week! You are a beauty inside and out. Today was my first 954 step hair routine and I have never had more beautiful hair… after only one day! Obsessed with you. Obsessed with my hair. ❤
You have helped my hair so much! It is so much healthier looking and I just love the shine and fullness. Thank you so much for information we can trust.
Would love to watch a series on this! How long do you leave the oil in your hair before a shower? Do you put it in over night or is it more like 10 min before your shower? Thanks!
Went to the drugstore to buy Dove shampoo and conditioner based on your recommendation. Holy cow! There were so many different types! I have fine curly hair and could not find anything specific so I walked out empty handed after about 45 minutes. So confusing. Would love you to add hair advice, keeping in mind different types of hair.
I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative and I learn a lot from you. Can you do a series on gray hair. I decided to stop coloring my hair and I have a lot of grays. The product combination I’m using sometimes don’t work very well and I’m looking to find new products.
I love how much knowledge and info you share.... I will say though...maybe make a disclaimer about the type of water people are washing their hair in. I have very hard water in my house. It doesn't matter what shower filter head I use or what products and techniques I use.....my hair is damaged and suffers SO much because of the hard water. It's the worst. It's dry, brittle and I have so much breakage and my hair just feels sad.
@@ElleAlexandria lol I hear ya and I don’t want my hair to look like straw it’s not for everyone for sure my hair loves olive oil sweet almond, rosehip oil Marula oil is fabulous for me
@@gnssprlt. my hair routine on wash days I use epres as a pre wash I rinse after a few hours epres you can leave on helps scalp and strands for me then after two hours I use a oil treatment of olive oil sweet almond oil and rosehip oil for 45 minutes then wash and condition then afterwards I use a leave in conditioner from shoulder length down then a hair oil from ends and I’m good
Why does your hairstylist use 40 volume? It is 12% peroxide and seems very extreme for you with such a light dark blonde-ish base color. That is the strongest developer available. It is typically for people with hair that is resistant to color. Just wondering....
I went to a colorist who damaged my hair a few months ago. I kept wondering why it was so frizzy and then realized it had breakage! Your video explaining this popped up just when I realized this. Thank you! I've been watching your videos and my hair is back to being healthy and I'm not spending a fortune on hair care products.
I recently went to a dermatologist and she said my hair is genetically prone to damage and there's nothing I can do about it. I suffer from hair thinning and severe breakage. I've noticed my hair breaks prematurely, it’s dry strawlike, and frizzy. But I've noticed the inner parts of my hair and my baby's hair are soft and much healthier than the outer parts. Please help me. I've tried everything from high-end to drug stores. I don't even use heat on my hair. So I no longer know whats the problem is.
Will you help the older women that listen to your advice? I’ve always had a full and thick head of blond hair. Now, I’m gray, course, and my hair is falling out. How can the gray haired people return some shine? What shampoo and conditioner works best? Trying to keep authentic and stylish at 60+.
I’d love to hear your take on various Japanese hair care products? they are very much trending right now and i’d love to hear your opinions on them all (shampoos and conditioners and hair masks like the fino one….etc). Love you tons! I found your videos a week ago and i have been on a serious binge haha on tiktok and youtube both ❤️💕
Even though your hair is darker now does not mean the bleached, damaged hair is not still there, it is , it's just growing out under the colour. I know as my hair was bleached too and although still very long, has now grown out, this took almost 5 years and i did the same with my natural blond colour as you. I now have my natural hair and no colour at all, the change in condition is amazing. Good luck growing the rest of your bleach out.
Could you do a video about potential topical allergens in some hair products? I thought I was having a major hormonal issue, or that my hair was falling out due to dying it, etc. - went to the doctor and they said I was fine. I was using a bond-repair shampoo, condition, etc. system (one that you recommend in one of your videos, the L'oréal one), and my hair was falling out in almost clumps - finally I ended up doing a full panel allergy test, and turned out I had a topical allergy to citric acid, and the bond repair treatment was what was making my hair fallout! After a much-hated short cut to mitigate the thin hair, it's 2 years later and finally growing out - but these kinds of allergies are not talked about enough! I went through so much to find that answer - and now you can get these allergy panels as at-home tests through several options also! Would be so good for some awareness around potential allergens in case people react badly to them - you're not alone! ❤
It's so true we have been conditioned (no pun intended) to believe all sulfates are bad. I think haircare is making strides with improving formulas so they're not as harsh and stripping so we can feel good about using them. As someone with naturally curly hair who got into the curly method a little but have since tailored it to suit my hair's needs, the method pretty much dictates to not use sulfates. That's pretty unrealistic for a curly girl like myself and others who often use a variety of stylers throughout the week and need a deep cleanse with a clarifying shampoo with sulfates to remove the buildup. New subscriber and I'm really liking your content.
Hey Abbey!!! Absolutely LOVE all your videos!! By far the most informative hair videos on the internet!! Would love a video talking about the myth of "protein overload" and explaining this further...
Abbey- years ago there was a theory going around that “washing” your hair and “shampooing” your hair were different. You would wet your hair and put plenty of water on it, the same amount you would use to shampoo. It was supposed to clean any dirt off. You would do this every time you showered. Then once a week, or twice if you had really oily hair, you would use shampoo. I haven’t heard this in years, but I am curious as I am growing out my hair for the first time in years.
Hi Abbey! Can you try the l'oreal professional absolut repair molecular? They seem to promote their own bond repair with this one. Would love to see your share on this. Love your reviewss ❤ thanks!
Oh my god I miss cleansing shampoos so much. SO MANY shampoos have gentle sulfates now and they make my hair feel like dirty straw. I've never missed sodium laureth sulfate so much.
I’m just not understanding about the OGX “oil”🧐; it’s a silicone-feeling serum. It doesn’t even feel like an oil. I wonder how much coconut oil is in this product. Why not just use pure coconut oil? I really love your videos and your depth of knowledge- not to mention that your hair is to be envied!
Protects the mid length and ends because you mainly need to wash your scalp. The shampoo will run down the rest of your hair when you are rinsing it out and that is all it needs. Unless super dirty for whatever reason like maybe you rolled in the mud 😅
Hair training as well as scalp oiling caused me to have SEVERE dermatitis that lead to horrendous hair fall. I went to a dermatologist and learned I simply needed to wash more after using a prescribed shampoo for 8 weeks. I also started following you and started implicating your other tips. I now have tailbone length, healthy hair. thank you for all that you do in pursuit of hair science!🙏 😊
Yeah, “hair training” was a buzz-word.
What is hair training?
@@vannessacrispin5140that's a phrase for people with dry scalp who can prolong the time between washes.If you have oily scalp you need to wash more often otherwise you might get scalp issues - I wash every other day and I tried that nonsense of hair training (I washed only 2x a week instead of 3-4x)and no sulphates and my hair started to fall out like crazy bc my scalp wasn't properly clean.Not to mention the itchy scalp 🙈
@@vannessacrispin5140it's that you wash your hair less- it works if you have dry scalp.Lets say instead of every other day,you wash every 3rd day and after while the hair should get oily less quickly.Oily scalp needs washing more often (and SLS)otherwise it's not clean properly and you might risk hair loss and scalp issues.I had both 😑🙈
I had the same thing happen. It was horrible. Washing less often is not right for everyone
Can you do a series on hair coloring? I’ve never had to color my hair but I know the day is coming and I know nothing about it. It’s like a foreign language. I’d like to know what to ask the hair stylist… for someone with dark brown hair who will eventually need to hide grays. Or maybe do a video with a hair colorist? Thanks!

@@amyhuston4261 what brand?
Y’know, I’m just going to put it out there that you don’t have to color your hair- gray is beautiful too. Do you, obviously!! Beautiful is how you feel.
I’ve been salt n’ pepper since my late teens. After years (and literal thousands of dollars), I just embraced the gray. And it looks great. And my hair is healthier.

@phigmentor You are 100% right! Gray is beautiful and works on people more than they realize. My gray is more on the back of my head so I don't see it. I just use the henna to have some color. One day, I will embrace the gray!

I have fine hair and my hair tangles ALL THE TIME, it is certainly most of the reason why my hair doesn't grow
This!
Yes please. I feel like my hair is so damaged bc it’s so hard to detangle and it keeps breaking but i really dont do anything damaging to it. Ive never colored it, never used any keratin or other salon chemical treatments, and I heat style verrry rarely on special occasions (like weddings or big events) and its always done by a professional stylist if i do (im not good at doing it myself- it just winds up making me look like cousin it lol). My hair is curlyish/wavy- but it’s more frizz than curl honestly and it tangles so easily! I cant brush it dry so i guess that contributes but i sleep on a satin pillowcase and im not rough with it. I’d love for some tips to make it more manageable and cause less breakage.
I’m 10 yrs older than you, so I remember when “sulfates are evil” messaging started. It started with curly hair (and I have curly hair so I was very early on the bandwagon). Absolutely brands are going to start (or rather, go back to) using proper shampooing agents. There’s this complex dance between brand marketing and consumer demands…we danced our way to shampoos that don’t cleanse, and now we’ll just dance our way back LOL.
Thank you for being real with this video and not acting like those influencers or hair stylist I see on TikTok all the time who just feel like they have this moral superiority, and demonize things like coloring or using heating tools on your hair, and who says that basically you can't have amazing hair if you do any of those things, because it is a fact people use them, and will keep using them! I am someone who uses heating tools because I personally prefer how I look with straight or wavy hair rather than with my natural curls (and yes, before anyone says anything, I've tried the CGM, and I know how to style my curls, I just don't like it on me personally), so it's nice to see for once someone say that you can still have beautiful, healthy hair even when coloring your hair or using heat
Of course!! I will never not color or use heat... just not my journey 😂
i colour my hair and use heat. as long as i’m still taking care of it it can look great!
I am new to your channel and I have curly hair, I am so happy you are talking about washing more often, because in the curly community it is such a big thing to go days and days without washing while putting on more products, I never followed the curly girl method because it didn't work for me with having hard water I wash my hair every day and my hair loves it and I feel clean and fresh, I just learned to use a minimum amount of products to make my morning routine simple, it takes me max maybe 15 minutes, I use the Pantene curly line and clarify once a week with Pantene volume and body followed by a deep conditioner once a week.
Curly gal here. I enjoy her channel and my silver curls is much better.
That's a great routine! So glad you found one you love 💗
Abby please review the Kerastase premiere line!! We need more recommendations in Europe!! Most of the products you love are not available here😢
I agree about wanting more recommendations available in Europe. Kerastase just feels like glorified L'Oréal.
ahhh dang! I will xx
As a hairstylist who’s tried ALOT of products for bonding strength the Kerastase line is very good! The hair mask is 10/10 especially, as well as the serum. But id reccomend trying the whole series out, maybe ask a salon if you can have your hair washed there with the products to feel the difference ❤️ it’s my favourite series along with the Redken acidic bonding and the k18 😊
Yeah same here in belgium I dont find most of recommended products
@@AbbeyYung yes please! More recommandations for products that are available in Europe❤
I would love to see a coconut oil video update including addressing controversies behind it! Many people with healthy and low porosity hair find it does make the hair healthier yet more prone to build up. Also interested to know if coconut oil is a good substitute for bond repair treatments!
Thats OGx Coconut oil detroys my hair... it dried it out so bad. I prefer just using Argan Oil or Jojoba Oil.
How would an oil be a substitute for a hair repair treatment? Like do you even know what the products are doing? An oil is coating your hair, it is not chemically changing your hair structure like a hair repair treatment. How is that even a question?
@@ducklingscap897 of course I know oil can't chemically repair the hair, but Abbey does say coconut oil helps to prevent damage from happening. Coconut oil can help prevent protein loss, hence prevent damage.
Love this idea!
@@doeeyes2it did the same for me! Honestly the first time I’ve seen someone say that. I have fine hair, not sure about the porosity.
Yes, more frequent videos & about 10-20 minutes. Love series on a topic.
ok perfect will do!!
For what it's worth, I'm really glad you're feeling better. And you truly do have gorgeous hair.
Aww thank you so much!
I’ve been watching since you were in your old (pre Chicago) apartment but still in MI ☺️
I remember when you were still a believer in hair scalp training. I was pretty sure it wasn’t a thing, but I didn’t have the chutzpah to dispute it. You’ve come SO FAR, since!
As others have said, my hair has improved so much by using your advice and expertise.
So I thank you very much.!!!!
Leaps & bounds in the hair science knowledge department since my early UA-cam days 😂 Thank you so much for being here since then!! I'm so happy to hear that 🥰
Also I love the bite-size talking videos! I think it’s a great way to diversify your channel, mixing in lower-effort content so that you can make the longer videos without burning out or (alternatively) your channel losing traction.
Agreed! I have been trying to think through ways to prevent the burnout that is just always present and this helped for sure last week. Thanks for the thoughtful comment 😊
Could you do a video discussing your trichilogist journey? How you started, what schooling you did and any licensure or certification you did? I would love to learn more about that and how to maybe also get into that.
As someone who used to watch you about 4 years ago for a few years and then stopped (I started a different job and wasn’t able to listen to UA-cam as much as I did when I was a driver) this is literally life changing 😂 I learned all of my hair care routines from you as I never had anyone to teach me and I was just learning to take better care of myself after being on a very strict religious program.
This is all very good information. Even though I wasn’t watching your videos, a few of these things I just learned organically but my favorite thing about you is that you’re so honest and humble with us. You give us the best information that you have available to you right now. I used to be one of the first to watch all your new videos and I am excited that I have so many to catch h up on!! Thank you so much for being a trailblazer and doing so much work to help us out, your amazing Abbey!❤
Could you do a video on if lightening with high lift color and high volume is better for hair integrity than bleach and low volume developer? Just more on us blonde who want to lighten or highlight! I like something cooler toned because it suits my skin tone more. Worried high lift would make me quite warm?
Was just asking myself the same question. I'm a soft summer and prefer neutral cool tones. High lift tints do come with cooler shades, they might not turn out as cool though. Depends on your natural hair, but you could still tone it afterwards.
I have tried highlift blonde with 30 and 40 volume to go from a level 6 to a lighter blonde (an 8 would be nice). But it was so brassy because it lifted just enough to expose the orange and yellow pigments in my hair. Currently I use 10 volume with cream lightener and it lifts to a 9/10, past the orange stage. I still need toner afterwards. I wish there was formula that could lift my color from a 6 to an 8 or 9, but give a permanent beige, neutral or ash tone. Because I love a clean-feeling scalp, I wash every other day and toner only lasts 3 weeks.
same, I was worried my hair would fall off if I used sulphate shampoo, until you explained in detail why we do want a clean scalp, not an oily one! Thank you
yay! so glad to help xx
This was useful to hear! Because some of are still clicking around your older videos and taking years old tips from you. I wish you could update some parts of older videos where you’ve since learned better
I wish I could too 😩
Abbey - in the UK Pantene’s bond repair treatment line (in the gold bottles) have their own shampoo and conditioner (different ingredients than the ones you reviewed in the blue tubes)! Wish you could pls try them :) you’re the only one I trust with my hair, even if just the ingredients
I'm all for deep cleansing, but am VERY thankful for the brands that are sulfate-free. Sulfates trigger horrific migraines for me, so while I don't find them damaging for my hair, I avoid them like the plague. I just have to find other methods to deep-clean.
What do you use?! I’m thinking my hair loss rn is due to sulfates and stress. I already have an allergy towed sodium laurel sulfate so
@@bringontherainbows8369 An apple cider vinegar rinse before shampooing has worked great for me - and it doesn't leave my hair smelling like vinegar. I use half vinegar, half water. There is also a brand called Routine that gives me a really good cleanse without having any sulfates. It's expensive, but it works well.
having an oily scalp and not washing it frequently made it a nightmare for me during lockdown. i developed a dermatitis and it’s so itchy 🥲 i wash my hair 2/3 times a week now instead of once a week like i used to…
🙈 oh that itch I also did the no SLS 😑I lost almost a third of my hair like 5 years ago bc of this 🐂💩
yes omg the itchhhh. This happens to me too
I get the itch 😖😖😖😖
I also tried to wash less frequently during lockdown and other than itchy ugly hair it did not do anything.
@@justmeiam4996 what is SLS?
Hair training and oiling actually worked wonders for me hair! I’m actually so glad I followed your old advice, it changed my hair health. Washing every 2 days was way too hard on my hair, I now wash once a week and my hair is silkier than ever
Years ago my hair was shiny, healthy and would get sooo many compliments. I used to use Pantene and Tresemmé products. Now everyone says they are so bad for you. I’m getting older so my hair is changing but I miss my pretty hair.
Thank you for the hair training admission. I have said for years and years; if hair training (which is scalp) were real, people with an oily face would "train" their face to not be oily. Oil glands are oil glands, and the way they produce oil is innate -- not trained. Believe me. I have had oily skin (with severe acne) and oily hair my whole life, and I am 56. The smell of people's "trained" hair when it hasn't been washed for days makes me want to puke when I am in line behind them at the grocery or a department store. Yuck!
Abbey! If you put it down, we are picking it up. Thank you for your persistent honesty and logic. Love love love your videos!!
Yes to a series! Also I would love a video on how to protect your hair when heat styling. I never know how to properly apply heat protection. Thank you always. you're the best ❤
I’d love to see a video where you show your hair through your regular week, so like a vlog across each day and show us how you’re wearing your hair for different activities etc. Your hair is gorgeous in your vids but it’s always long and flowing, would be nice to see how you change it up off camera!
She has a video like this! I think it’s titled hair vlog or something
She has a video like this! I think it’s titled hair vlog or something
Can you do a video on handling a dry scalp?
Also, Elizavecca has a whole range of hair products on Amazon and I would LOVE a video from you over their lineup!
I wash my hair every 3 days. I used to wash it every 6 days so 1x a week because I thought that washing hair too much would make your hair fall out and dirty hair grew. Now I know that cleaner hair grows
yessss
Washing my hair with a double shampoo method 2x a week which I got from your channel, has really helped my hair texture and my longevity and frizz. I have wavy frizzy hair that is growing out from previous bleach damage and dye processing. I used to wash one time a week because I don't ever get oily, just dry, but my dryness and dandruff (non-medically diagnosed) has been improved majorly because of shampooing more often and more thoroughly. I am not saying I will never ever process my hair again but for now I am avoiding bleach like the plague and I dyed my hair once in early August and I don't want to process it again until about a year from now.
Thank you for all that you do!! I would love a series on age factors! I’m 44 and had my hair severely damaged by bleach a year ago. Not only have I lost so much density and thickness but now it seems to have slowed in growing back. Would love to hear if age is a factor at this point, can the hair heal and what products you recommend for someone my age and up! It’s getting better but after a year it’s still not the same. You have been my shinning light throughout my process and thank you for all your advice! ❤
I’m not sure if you have addressed this before, but can you discuss your current stance on pH levels in hair care products?
I didn't use shampoo for five years. Lots of conditioner, lots of rubbing, lots of rinsing, and my hair looked great. BUT i had to "wash" it almost every day and stay away from silicones. With actual shampoo with sulfates I can wash twice a week instead and use silicones and it looks great with lots less effort.
I would love to see an in depth video on bond repair products. More specifically, do you need to use a bond repair shampoo and conditioner or is just a conditioner/mask effective enough? Do bond repair shampoo’s work as well as bond repair conditioners since they don’t sit in your hair as long, should I be letting the shampoo sit on my hair for longer than a regular shampoo? Is it ok to use a bond repair shampoo and conditioner every wash?
Yes! I’d love to know the answers to all these questions as well!!
Go through her videos, she did a huge deep dive on this months ago. There are 2 parts but they are very far apart.
I’m pretty sure that she made videos about that already. Also no the shampoo doesn’t work that well. If you invest in a repair product it should always be the conditioner or hair mask. Just use normal shampoo.
Would love to see more of this series. I am a person with virgin hair, but I had no idea going to bed with my hair not protected was causing breakage, and tight ponytails etc. While I may not be a color or heat queen, my scalp and hair health thank you so much, I have so many things in my routine "Abbey inspired that purchase". Brush cleaning/picking was the major thing that has made my life so much easier. Thank you for your content 😊
Yay love your videos! I have an idea for you if you haven’t thought of it: I’m a busy mom and I don’t always have time for these big multi step haircare routines! I am not quick to begin with lol. If you had to pair down your routine to only the most important and quick to complete steps for a busy mom who sometimes only gets 15 min to do everything in the shower, what would you do? It could even be a fun challenge video or like “the fastest I can complete my routine” lol!
Love these short videos. I don't have
have your gorgeous hair type , your tips is useful for a 63 yr old silver curly hair. Thanks ❤
Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous in your photo! I am obsessed with the silver curls 😍
Thank you. I am in Maple Grove. Would love to see your hair stylist. I have dry coarse hair. Never has my hair been oily on its own, without putting too much oil on it.
Can you talk about henna some time? I’ve been using it for years and I feel few people know how it works and the benefits it can give
I also stopped full foil bleaching, which I had done for 10 years from black to maintaining blonde, until covid hit and ruined it all. My hair was fried so i chopped it all off and now just keep my hair dark brown. i grew out all the bleach and my hair is much better condition, I don't have to use a million hair products just to tame bleach frizz and breakage
They are a tad expensive but the ingredients are high quality, no cheap and irritating chemicals added…
The Miriam Quevedo hair care products.
I hair white, damaged hair but I’m hair looks completely healthy, shiny, like it’s my nature hair.
Along with using K18 here and there..that helped before I started using these products, I don’t use k18 much because I find that my hair feels and looks better when I don’t use it as much. My hair is amazing when I use the Glacier white caviar and or the extreme/hair loss caviar shampoo and conditioner, the rose stem cell multiplying leave in conditioner, the reconstructing luxe serum..
Sometimes I do an oil on the ends like the Aveda dry moisture 🙌
I think a valid ingredient to avoid in hair products is MI (methylisothiazolinone). It's a highly sensitizing preservative for an ever increasing number of people. Dr. Dray mentions it frequently.
I agree. My husband is extremely allergic to MI. Found outvthrough allergy testing. And it is used in so many things as a preservative. He got hearing aids and within a few hours of wearing them he was throwing up, every time he tried to wearvthem. Had to have extensive allergy testing to find out it was MI.
@@katheryncraig6897 That's awful 😟
Would love to hear about tips for thinning/hair loss on the hairline! I feel like my head of hair is healthy but because my hair is thin, my hairline is so bad!!
This is so refreshing to hear. Someone who doesn’t fear mongrel chemicals. Loved all these tips and can’t wait to try some of them!
Iron tablets. ❤ they are everything for hair growth and avoiding prematurely going grey.
Abby your hair a proof that you have gone through some extensive journey.
I just got my hair bleached and they are a mess… I wish I was in your area to see your stylist.. in the mean while I am trying to do everything you shared.
Ordering the off coconut oil and whatever else you recommend!

plz do a curly/ wavy hair science based routine! when to brush and how and which types of products to use! creams or gels or serums or silicone based oils!!!
cuz I have wavy hair and I do not know what to do with it! it is so detangeled
would you post a video that shows your favorite heat treatment. also your favorite shampoo that makes your hair most fluffy and not weighed down?
Thank you. I am in Maple Grove. Would love to see your hair stylist
Excellent video. Yes, please more of the same specific topic. Cordially, TR
PS Perhaps an episode on dry, fine curly heads?! What should our wash routine be?
This is quite interesting! I love how you share your journey and how you have changed your haircare as you have learned more.
I avoided sulfates because I have highlighted hair and most hairstylists that I’ve gone to in nyc say to avoid them to preserve color. Can you comment on that?
Hey Abbey could you please do a video on the best protectants/sprays for humidity that you’ve found? I have been struggling for years to find a good one 😂 Thank you again for this video your tips have completely changed my hair for the better even my stylist is so impressed
I use a regular shampoo or depends on my needs and wash it at least 2 times until I feel the oil is gone. I have to wash my hair daily. I also use one shampoo from the pharmacy that is for dandruff, oily hair, dermatitis and very itchy hair and it does wonders.
I don't understand who washes hair once a week and not very often.
My hair falls off from all the oil and if I don't dry my hair after the shower it does the same, falls a lot for being wet and causes a lot of breakage. It's common sense.
On the other hand I know people with dry hair have other needs and who has curls too and goes on... My condolences for the girls that don't have hairdressers that are knowledge on how to work on curly hair :') I am lucky tho but I had these ladies telling me that ohh don't wash your haiiirrrr so muchhhh. Gurl did you ever see me on a morning or at night after an agitated day with a oily scalp? I could make a fried egg for your breakfast or two.
I wish there would be more comprehension for who has oily hair.
Oh my goodness I hope you get better quickly! I could tell in your voice you’re congested when I started the video. I just got over Covid a couple weeks ago and the headaches and congestion is still there. And I’m fatigued
Really appreciate you sharing your journey to healthy hair, including mistakes made along the way 🙂 As my white/gray roots need to be colored every 5 weeks, I would appreciate any suggestions for lessening damage. I have discussed a "high lift tint" with my stylist but we both thought the end result would be too warm for my skin tone. Any suggestions?
Ive just bought the pantene bond repair shampoo, treatment & mask after watching your bond repair show down. Currently saving to buy a house & K18 is just too expensive now.
Gotta say it - I LISTEN to your videos on my headphones, just like they were a podcast but when I hear you talking to your dog… well, I start watching INSTANTLY! 😂💖
❤great video‼️ Thanks for jumping off the 1xweek/“hair training” nonsense…which just makes people smell 🤢 I’ve always been an everyday girly, tried not to be for a minute and paid for it with major scalp issues. Also I tried the Wen “system”, a decade ago, which caused same thing…because I NEED to wash my scalp every day😊
girl i literally just had covid too. 8 days of positive tests, 12 days of pretty severe symptoms and counting 😫 feel better!! also, shorter videos might be great for those of us trying to share your vids with friends. my little sis refuses to listen to my hair advice (*cough* Your advice), and shorter vids might be easier to convince her to watch 🤷♀️ but you do you! i’ll be watching regardless ❤️
omg it was awful!!! Finally better thank goodness. and ok good to know! I always have too much to say this is good motivation to shorten it up 😂
🙋on my 7th day
@@AbbeyYung i personally love longer videos bc im never out here asking questions after. but shorter spurts might be easier on your voice and brain! whatever works best for you obviously :)
@@robinmezger2579 the brain fog is AWFUL with this strain. i thought it was isolation, but now im out & about head empty no thoughts
COULD YOU DO RESEARCH ON CURLY HAIR?
The way our current version of ‘sulphates bad’ ‘silicones bad’ ultimately trace back to the ‘curly girl method’ is so funny that woman alone has done so much damage lol
I wish more people watched your channel, because all the misinformation is still out there and tons of channels are spreading it on every platform.
I'm glad people are speaking up against the clean beauty propaganda.. I enjoy my shampoos with SLES.
I wish people could cut their hair when it's needed as well.. Long hair doesn't look nice if half of it is thin and stringy. I had to cut off a lot a while ago, but I rather have a little less long but full hair, than having really long stringy hair.
I don’t use sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate because it causes allergic reactions on my scalp. So it would be great to know shampoos that don’t contain those and how much you like them.
Have you tried OUAI Detox? It has slightly different detergents. Maybe you could get a sample somehow and do a patch test to see if you react to it.
I am also allergic (like many) but Abbey never addresses this common allergy because she likes harsh sulfates and is sponsored by companies that use them.
@@nothanksmegan I’m a chemist, not all sulfates are ‘harsh’ & she recommends them because they can be great for people who aren’t allergic to get rid of buildup. I’m not allergic to sulfates & I have to use them to get my hair clean. Every time I use a sulfate free shampoo, my scalp is greasy immediately.
Please don’t demonize ingredients just because you have an allergy.
I hope you’re able to find something that works for you!!
would love to see your current hair care routine!
Share everything Abby!! In particular, could you run through how you style your hair like you do …it’s beautiful! ❤
I just started following you this week! You are a beauty inside and out. Today was my first 954 step hair routine and I have never had more beautiful hair… after only one day!
Obsessed with you. Obsessed with my hair. ❤
You have helped my hair so much! It is so much healthier looking and I just love the shine and fullness. Thank you so much for information we can trust.
Would love to watch a series on this! How long do you leave the oil in your hair before a shower? Do you put it in over night or is it more like 10 min before your shower? Thanks!
Went to the drugstore to buy Dove shampoo and conditioner based on your recommendation. Holy cow! There were so many different types! I have fine curly hair and could not find anything specific so I walked out empty handed after about 45 minutes. So confusing. Would love you to add hair advice, keeping in mind different types of hair.
I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative and I learn a lot from you.
Can you do a series on gray hair. I decided to stop coloring my hair and I have a lot of grays. The product combination I’m using sometimes don’t work very well and I’m looking to find new products.
I love how much knowledge and info you share.... I will say though...maybe make a disclaimer about the type of water people are washing their hair in. I have very hard water in my house. It doesn't matter what shower filter head I use or what products and techniques I use.....my hair is damaged and suffers SO much because of the hard water. It's the worst. It's dry, brittle and I have so much breakage and my hair just feels sad.
There are many videos about hard water - Mane by mell - helped me a lot
My hair is almost knee length and coconut oil dries my hair out so I can’t use it
Same! Except my hair isn’t as long, but my hair hates coconut oil.
What is your hair routine?
@@ElleAlexandria lol I hear ya and I don’t want my hair to look like straw it’s not for everyone for sure my hair loves olive oil sweet almond, rosehip oil Marula oil is fabulous for me
@@gnssprlt. my hair routine on wash days I use epres as a pre wash I rinse after a few hours epres you can leave on helps scalp and strands for me then after two hours I use a oil treatment of olive oil sweet almond oil and rosehip oil for 45 minutes then wash and condition then afterwards I use a leave in conditioner from shoulder length down then a hair oil from ends and I’m good
Same it makes my hair brittle and dry
Why does your hairstylist use 40 volume? It is 12% peroxide and seems very extreme for you with such a light dark blonde-ish base color. That is the strongest developer available. It is typically for people with hair that is resistant to color. Just wondering....
Maybe there were instances of orange results with 30 volume developer on some clients and thats why..
As someone with greasy hair but is highly allergic to all sulfates, I am looking forward to good deep cleaning sulfate free shampoos.
I went to a colorist who damaged my hair a few months ago. I kept wondering why it was so frizzy and then realized it had breakage! Your video explaining this popped up just when I realized this. Thank you! I've been watching your videos and my hair is back to being healthy and I'm not spending a fortune on hair care products.
Love when you show your beautiful pup!!!! ❤
🥰
Yes, please continue the series!
I was wondering if you can do a mini series or something like that on cruelty free products?
I recently went to a dermatologist and she said my hair is genetically prone to damage and there's nothing I can do about it. I suffer from hair thinning and severe breakage. I've noticed my hair breaks prematurely, it’s dry strawlike, and frizzy. But I've noticed the inner parts of my hair and my baby's hair are soft and much healthier than the outer parts. Please help me. I've tried everything from high-end to drug stores. I don't even use heat on my hair. So I no longer know whats the problem is.
Can you explain protein overload in hair and how do you know if you have it?
Will you help the older women that listen to your advice? I’ve always had a full and thick head of blond hair. Now, I’m gray, course, and my hair is falling out. How can the gray haired people return some shine? What shampoo and conditioner works best? Trying to keep authentic and stylish at 60+.
I’d love to hear your take on various Japanese hair care products? they are very much trending right now and i’d love to hear your opinions on them all (shampoos and conditioners and hair masks like the fino one….etc). Love you tons! I found your videos a week ago and i have been on a serious binge haha on tiktok and youtube both ❤️💕
Even though your hair is darker now does not mean the bleached, damaged hair is not still there, it is , it's just growing out under the colour.
I know as my hair was bleached too and although still very long, has now grown out, this took almost 5 years and i did the same with my natural blond colour as you.
I now have my natural hair and no colour at all, the change in condition is amazing.
Good luck growing the rest of your bleach out.
Don’t worry Abbey long or short uploads are all good! Would love more on how you hair journey went & anything else really ❤❤❤
Love your content, always ❤❤❤ thank you 😊
Could you do a video about potential topical allergens in some hair products? I thought I was having a major hormonal issue, or that my hair was falling out due to dying it, etc. - went to the doctor and they said I was fine. I was using a bond-repair shampoo, condition, etc. system (one that you recommend in one of your videos, the L'oréal one), and my hair was falling out in almost clumps - finally I ended up doing a full panel allergy test, and turned out I had a topical allergy to citric acid, and the bond repair treatment was what was making my hair fallout! After a much-hated short cut to mitigate the thin hair, it's 2 years later and finally growing out - but these kinds of allergies are not talked about enough! I went through so much to find that answer - and now you can get these allergy panels as at-home tests through several options also! Would be so good for some awareness around potential allergens in case people react badly to them - you're not alone! ❤
It's so true we have been conditioned (no pun intended) to believe all sulfates are bad. I think haircare is making strides with improving formulas so they're not as harsh and stripping so we can feel good about using them.
As someone with naturally curly hair who got into the curly method a little but have since tailored it to suit my hair's needs, the method pretty much dictates to not use sulfates. That's pretty unrealistic for a curly girl like myself and others who often use a variety of stylers throughout the week and need a deep cleanse with a clarifying shampoo with sulfates to remove the buildup. New subscriber and I'm really liking your content.
Hey Abbey!!! Absolutely LOVE all your videos!! By far the most informative hair videos on the internet!! Would love a video talking about the myth of "protein overload" and explaining this further...
I honestly love your hair color now. It looks natural
Abbey- years ago there was a theory going around that “washing” your hair and “shampooing” your hair were different. You would wet your hair and put plenty of water on it, the same amount you would use to shampoo. It was supposed to clean any dirt off. You would do this every time you showered. Then once a week, or twice if you had really oily hair, you would use shampoo. I haven’t heard this in years, but I am curious as I am growing out my hair for the first time in years.
I’d love to know how to find a hairstylist and what to ask for? I love the natural looking blonde
'Girl it's not the sulphates it's the bleach' cracked me up ❤ xxxx
Please make a detangling video, esspecially damp hair
Hi Abbey! Can you try the l'oreal professional absolut repair molecular? They seem to promote their own bond repair with this one. Would love to see your share on this. Love your reviewss ❤ thanks!
Such helpful info Abbey. Thx so much.
Ongoing series....yes, please!
Oh my god I miss cleansing shampoos so much. SO MANY shampoos have gentle sulfates now and they make my hair feel like dirty straw. I've never missed sodium laureth sulfate so much.
I would like to see products on naturally high porosity and oily hair what to use and how to dry it faster 🤔
I’m just not understanding about the OGX “oil”🧐; it’s a silicone-feeling serum. It doesn’t even feel like an oil. I wonder how much coconut oil is in this product. Why not just use pure coconut oil? I really love your videos and your depth of knowledge- not to mention that your hair is to be envied!
Protects the mid length and ends because you mainly need to wash your scalp. The shampoo will run down the rest of your hair when you are rinsing it out and that is all it needs. Unless super dirty for whatever reason like maybe you rolled in the mud 😅
I have wondered too as to why not just use coconut oil???
Abbey have you tried the Epres shampoo and conditioner!? Would love to hear your thoughts!!
