Seeing some comments about Epres because I apply that to my dry hair… you have to mix the treatment with water so you are wetting your hair while you’re applying it 😊
I just learned new thing about leave in conditioner. I never used leave in conditioners before but i have been colouring my hair lately so i gave it a try. I already tried 2 leave in conditioners and I have noticed that my ends become more dry and brittle so I did some research on it. Apparently hydrolyzed protein in leave in conditioner is not good for your hair which they recommended not to use leave in conditioner too often. What are your thoughts on this? Could you possibly make a video talking about leave in conditioner? Much love❤
@@AbbeyYung @nora1875 requested that you do video on leave in conditioners and how hydrolyzed proteins affect your hair. Do they really dry out your hair if used too often?
I followed your advice and started using Everpure bonding shampoo and conditioner and treatment and OGX oil and my hair has been transformed. It used to be so puffy and like straw. I have a ton of hair and I used to lose a handful a day. Now I hardly lose any hair and my hair is much more manageable. Years of spending so much money on salon products! So happy to have better hair now tho! Thanks!
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench The one Abbey mentions routinely is the coconut miracle oil, she uses it to oil her hair before a wash. And she mentions that you can use the lighter weight OGX coconut oil instead if the miracle one is just too heavy for your hair. In her hair oiling video, she mentions that other oils like argan and jojoba don't have all the benefits she's looking for that coconut does. I do think argan oil can be be helpful but more as a finisher than as a treatment.
A lot of demonization of sulphates and silicones grew out of the popularity of the Curly Girl Method. My hair’s wavy, and *LOVES* both those ingredients! I avoid products that don’t contain either/both sulphates or silicones. Thanks, Abbey!
isn't that where not washing your everyday also came from? people like to think the secret to long healthy hair is not washing it but we have to remember people back in the day had no choice because they didn't have easy access to running water, and they used the products that were available back then. I'm sure they'd have been washing more often and using different products if they had the choice.
Yes, I want a part 4, 5. 6. 7.... You are the ONLY beauty UA-camr I trust. I have damaged hair from years of bleaching and not cutting my hair so naturally it was breaking. Since I discovered your YT channel, I started having my hairstylist trim my ends every 5 - 6 weeks and started using the products you recommend Pureology, Amika, ect. I learned about porosity which I never knew before your channel. My hair is thicker now and looks better. So yes more installments on hair knowledge.
So that means you don't know any UA-camrs making videos about the science of cosmetics? I mean if you didn't even know about porosity before that you can't have researched a lot. Being the best choice because you are the only choice is not much of a compliment lol Abbey is definitely in the top ten for me but I personally trust Lab Muffin beauty science way more for example.
Hello there. Retired hairdresser here. I use Olaplex and mix with moisturizing deep conditioner and sleep with it and get results that last 3 weeks. I highly recommend mixing a moisturizing balm with a protein bond. Also prevents breakage. I also have fine wavy hair and find Biolage moisturizing balm to work very well
Hi you should never sleep with wet hair it will cause more breakage olaplex recommends no longer than 45 minutes as it is a chemical and can cause irrigation and does not give you any benefit to leaving it on that long. ❤
I would really appreciate if you would scientifically explore the "lifespan of hair". I learned from a very good teacher in a hairdressing school that everyone's hair has a lifespan. The age at which hair falls and begins to grow anew. How not all people can grow their hair down to their knees. Some people cyle hair much quicker and it's predetermined at birth. Sorry for the crude comparison, but think of it like how certain breeds of dogs like maltese of tshitz-shou have fur that just keeps growing, vs a lab whose set fur length is short and repeatly falls and grows. I've never seen this meaningfully explained for humans. Thanks in advance!
Our fur is our body hair, like arm and leg hair. They don't usually grow super long like head hair. The follicles in our scalp generally hold on longer and grow longer than follicles on other parts of the body. I guess genetics could play a role since hair is a polygenic trait. Different genes determine color, texture, thickness, etc, so I'm sure genes also play a role in how long different stand areas are able to grow, like the baby hairs on your neck at the hairline are thinner than hair in the middle of your head, (assuming you aren't balding.) similar to how cats will have genes for their fur color patterning spread along their body, I think humans have genes distributed for slightly different colors and lengths along the head. I know this because my brother has a single copper hair in the middle/side of his dark brown head of hair, while I have dark brown hair with a few copper highlights in most of the strands when I have the hair virgin for at least 3 months from root to regrowth.
I am a hairstylist of 29 years. I suggest my clients follow you. Your tips have helped more than most of the education I have received over the years. I use the Epres on clients dry ends that’s stick out of their foils when their hair is dry and damaged. Treats their ends while the rest is possessing. It is mixed with water so hair does not need to be wet. Keep up the great work.❤
Please do a video on hair loss/type for perimenopause which is a 10-15 year transition BEFORE fully menopause. Not enough awareness! Women in their late 30s to early 50s going through major changes due to hormone imbalance, and hair loss/type changing is one of the symptoms.
Hi Abbey, would love for you to do a video on hair loss around my temples and the crown, I’m way older maybe it’s just aging or genetics, I have long hair past my shoulders and it thickish but not at the crown like it use to be,I’m 70.🥰
@@janebarbontin830 I do take a vitamin B Complex, have for years. Does the Rosemary oil get your scalp oily cause i only wash my hair every 3 days and how and when do you use it?
I would love a video on internal causes of hair loss, even though 90% of it would say "see your doctor".The medics can help find a cause, but very few can offer good products to use during and after the hair loss to let us make the best of what hair we have left. In the last 2 years I dealt with two forms of shedding hair (plus some damage): 1. Annual hair shedding each autumn. This has been going on for at least 15 years. I lose enough to notice it myself, but nobody else knows. I figure it's due to summer heat stress (I hate hot weather). 2. Stress due to cancer. I'm lucky that my treatments don't directly cause hair loss, but the stress on my body have made my annual sheds MUCH heavier. At one point, I was down to about 25% my original hair density. The hair is growing back now, thankfully, but I fear another massive shedding. I know that if I shed again, there's not a lot I can do to prevent or stop it. I would like to see how to best care for what hair I keep, and how to maintain it until it grows out again.
I have dermatitis and every summer i go into this INTENSE hairloss period. My hair grew back really well this year, until a stressful beginning of summer. Combine that plus 2 weeks in a very hot and humid climate, and i have been shedding like a dog ever since. I too hate summer for my hair :(
i shed more in the autumn too.. weird, I read it's supposed to shed more in the spring/summer since our bodies think they don't need the extra hair (to keep us cool) and it's supposed to grow thicker in the winter to keep us warm
@@kit.e6864 Mine is definitely a reaction to heat. Shedding usually happens about 3 months after the initial stress incident. I shed 3 months after the summer heat arrives. Also, the shedding got started when I moved up North (Boston, then Minneapolis) and lived in a house without air conditioning. It wasn't *that* hot in the summer, mostly, but 3 months after the first heat wave ... I got air conditioning last spring, and hope it will delay / lessen / eliminate my annual shedding. So far, so good.
Yes! My thyroid was damaged from radiation and chemo at the age of 52, so I now take thyroid medication. Thyroid issues cause a lot of hair loss in so many people.
And what you can do BESIDES taking your medication the way it is recommended ie; time, empty stomach, ect! There has to be more! Something else. I can't be cooked to crappy short hair cuts for the rest of my life! I hate short hair on me! I've had it. My face looks like a basketball with short cut.
This is really great! A few months ago I started following a lot of your haircare suggestions. I was using the OGX coconut oil overnight before washing, and L’Oreal EverPure bond repair and K18. I was washing maybe once every 4-5 days, and using the L’Oreal Leave-In to try to make my hair look decent on non-wash days. I have 3B curly hair that is RIDICULOUSLY fragile. It breaks so, so easily. I think these tips were really helping because my hair gained 1-2 inches of length over those months. Sadly, I got kind of lazy and lost all of that length. It was further proof that breakage is the reason my hair “won’t grow.” I’m starting my diligent routine again and we’ll see if I can keep it up for a year and gain density too!!!! I’m hopeful, but it’s very hard. Diet (protein, I guess?) also plays a role for me. Thanks for your great content, as always!
My dad has his silver crown of grey hair. I know i am going to follow suit. I cant wait to grow out my grey hair. Iv always wanted silver ombre hair. Now I can without the bleaching and damage. Wear your crown and dont be ashamed love ❤
Could you do a “basics” video showing what kind of products to use when and approx how much? (Idk does the order in mask, treatment, conditioner etc matter? How many different products are needed and what is too much (idk, do you need multiple leave in products or so). With a few recommendations for the different products.
Yes girl make more videos following this up. My hair is looking and feeling a lot better since I started following some of your advice and I definitely need more❤❤
Yes to part 4 PLEASE! I also definitely think these hair growth supplement companies are quite exploitative, simply because they know hair science including that surrounding hair loss is still very sparse.
You have changed my hair for the better and I only found you two months ago. My hair has never felt or looked better since using the Dove Bond Repair line and realizing that drugstore brands are not the enemy. I wish I found you years ago. The amount of money, time and frustration I could have saved myself is insane. Thank you for educating us. I would be lost without your wealth of knowledge. I definitely want to say yes to part 4 please. I hope you have a wonderful day!❤
I love your videos and information so much! I’ve been a cosmetologist for almost 30 years and I was always taught sulfates and drug store shampoos were the devil. So I’m coming around to the idea of using sulfates now because of you, but I have one question still lingering. I was always taught sulfates strip color out of the hair. Is that misinformation as well? And, an unrelated question:Epres shampoo and conditioner market themselves as “quat free” what is that? Have you tried the shampoo and conditioner yet?
Definitely pt 4 Abbey please 🙏 & thankyou so so much for this educational upload… would love more like this & you have a great few days to Abbey! ❤❤❤ 😊😊😊
Yes to part 4! I experienced hair thinning in 2022 as a result of dangerously low b12 levels. Thankfully they're stable now but my hair has gone through many thinning cycles since. It feels like my hair follicle is more fragile now if that makes sense ❤
Funny thing is she actually has lip filler and has been open about it. That doesn’t mean she s not naturally beautiful, you’re just used to noticing lip filler only when the lips are overfilled.
Just recently I started following your advice after chopping my hair cuz It was damaged beyond repair, I used coconut oil on my hair (not my scalp) and used Dove intensive repair and made sure to protect my hair. Lately, I've been eyeing the L'Oreal Professional absolut repair & Absolut repair molecular to add extra protection to my hair, I would love if you do a review of their repair lines. Thank you Abbey, I ❤ u.❤❤❤❤
I stopped using drugstore shampoos for so many years now I’m back to using drugstore shampoo, conditioners, leaving conditioners, and my hair is thriving. I will not use anything else but silicones and sulfates.
Same,( although I mix it, cause I don't want to throw stuff away),now at the end of summer I would normally have to have a major chop all I need is a trim 🤗
My hair gradually got super thin when I went platinum. I didn’t even realize how bad it had gotten until I saw a picture of when I first went platinum 5 years earlier and it was long and thick. Right then I decided to go back to my natural brown, and my hair is getting so thick and shiny!
I have 3c hair. It’s really curly and I also started looking into using products with silicones, bond-repair treatments and I pre-poo with the OGX hair oil as well! My hair has never been healthier! Just here to say that your tips work for curlies too!!
Is the dove bond repair line available in uk, and are you thinking about trying that? I started with the bond repair one because Abbey liked it even more, but I was thinking about trying the intensive repair one too.
@@hexaitine in the UK the dove intensive repair 1 minute intensive mask is the same as the dove bond repair in the US. They have just given it different names and the US version has 2 more vegetable proteins that the UK one doesn't. The bond repairing bits are the same.
Aphogee has saved my hair over the years from bleach. Have you ever done a review on that product? I know it’s mainly bleach that’s breaking off my hair.
My hair was so broken. Started doing the aphogee protein treatment every 8 to 10 weeks and lots of Eliza vecca mask and amika the kure. Abbey has really gotten my hair back. Also always use the coconut oil before shampoo. It is amazing
It took a while, but you and Kayli Boyle convinced me to start using sulfates and silicones again. I learned they’re not bad for hair if used correctly. Education is key 👍🏻
Experiencing postpartum hair loss after following your tips for over a year and growing my hair 12 inches! Just cut off 6 inches to make it look full again confident that I will be able to regrow it once PP hair loss passes. Thanks for all you do!
My hair is triple the thickness since I started following your hair journey a few years ago. I followed it to the letter, from K18, Redkin Bond repair, pre shampoo oiling, oiling the mid to ends at night. ~~~IT WORKS!!!! Thank you Abbey ❤❤❤
I lost loads of my hair after septic shock and emergency surgery resulting in me being critical in hospital for weeks. My hair was also matted because of not moving for a long time. I rubbed a growth serum (Grow Gorgeous) into my hair every night for about 6 months. Eventually it grew back just as thick, but I'm wondering whether that was because of the serum or the rubbing motion stimulating my follicles 🤔 no idea but at least it grew back
20 years of straightening frizzy hair as well as home coloring it due to grey hair …. Reaching premenopausal years and ending up with dry miserable hair ! Not sure what I can do anymore 😪 Also could you kindly let us know if Brazilian blowout can be ok to tame this sick hair ?
I always had amazing hair. In fact, hair has been my thing since a kid. Now that I gave birth I been loosing so much hair that I started to worried. I been trying to learn more about the cause and what I can use without harming breastfeeding 🤱. I think I successfully have make things better, but a video about this topic could be so useful.
i've felt so educated by your videos, thank you abbey! i bleached my hair for +10years to a white level, and when i gave it a rest for the second time in my life my hair started falling out from the root. i know because i see the little bubble that's the root 😢 i went to the doc, my analysis are ok, i now take minoxidil because the docs say the hair loss is probably only liked to my anxiety but still no improvement and it's been like... 8 months. i lost so much density! i'm scared! and well, i've been anxious and medicated for a lot of years. all of this to say: i'd love to see a video on actual hair loss from the root! because of you i booked a dermatologist that's also a specialist in trichology so wish me luck
Could you make a video on what brushes you recommend the most for blowouts and for regular hair days air dry tangle and brush out during the night I’m having a hard time choosing brushes and I know I have to replace them. They come to the end of life the ones that I have.
Would love your opinion on in-salon hair deep conditioning treatments such as hair Botox. Are they worth it? my hair dresser recommends sulfate free shampoo when I get hair Botox to help it last longer.
Have you looked into the Philip Kingsley bond repair range? It would be interesting to hear your perspective on it considering Philip Kingsley is a well known trichologist and the brand has both in clinic treatments and off the shelf products.
Great video. Yes to part 4 please. Also, I’d be interested in your thoughts on the John Freida and Kerastate bond repair lines too. Esp the former, most reviews online are partnerships and not independent.
I hope brands aren't afraid to release sulphate based shampoo against rather than continuing to demonise this ingredient. I have incredibly oily hair and really need sulphate based shampoo in my routine to clean my hair. I'd struggle otherwise with limp greasy hair.
@@xoxorosequartz I went back to a shampoo that I used for years and loved but stopped because I was told sulphates are bad. But so many sulphate free brands did not clean my hair. Now I'm using it again my hair is PROPERLY clean and volumised. Because my hair is actually clean (sles and sls in the one I use), my hair looks so much better and my curls came back. I don't know why I ever listened to trends based on zero science.
I’d love for you to address how dieting can impact the hair, especially regarding hair loss. I’m getting ready to start a health journey, and don’t want to experience extreme hair loss like I’ve experienced before with dieting.
I can’t find the WOW review now that I’ve entered your profile but I’ve instantly followed you. Thank you so much for the refreshing honesty. Looking forward to learning how to hold onto brighter, healthier fair hair. 🍃
I just did a big chop (mid back to under the shoulder) and I’m going to try out all of your advice! I never even heard of pre-shower oiling before! I’m excited 😊
Good question, I’d like to know as well. I wonder if, since it’s applied with water, because you have to mix the product in water then apply, if that counts as applying to wet hair?
I have been boiling onion and i put the water in a spray bottle in the fridge, about a week it should last. I put it on day and night. My hair has grown like crazy.
My hair dryer has just broke and I’m trying to find a blow dryer that would be less damaging to my hair as I’m trying to grow it out. Are more expensive hairdryers less damaging to your hair than cheaper ones? Is it worth the extra money, if so what good quality blow dryer would u recommend? X
Hiya. I dont think it's the type of dryer so much as how you use it. I have an old Conair blow dryer, nothing fancy, but, I only use it on the cold setting, don't blowdry soaking wet hair, let it dry a bit 1st, and be sure to use a heat protectant. Hope this helps.
You taught me that my thinning hair was breakage rather than some kind of alopecia so ii ditched the scalp serums & started taking much better care of my hair with conditioners & bond treatments, my very thin hair is getting thicker. Thank you!
If Rogaine increases the length of the growing phase would that not help you to grow longer hair. I am not suggesting that Rogaine (minoxidil) would make your hair grow faster but just longer.
Hey abbey....could you possibly do a video on how to take care of short/fine/prone to getting oily in 5 minutes hair....im desperate to find something to help so i dont feel like i have to wash my hair everyday!
where has this content been my entire life as someone whose hair is a big part of their life i looovvveeee your hair education content i would really want to see more if this
It has been hard figuring out my routine with my fine, medium, wavy hair. Sulfates can be good for my scalp when I need it, but a bit too much for my hair to cause a little frizz or make questionably too soft. What is currently working for me is OGX (purple) shampoo with (white) conditioner, and good beard oil on my ends. It is a little below my ears, so I don't think my hair is quite long enough to try leave-in.
Hair must be wet for the mask or bond repair products to penetrate the cortex. But then why do swimmers suggest to wet the hair with regular water so that the water with chlorine DOESN'T penatrate the cortex. Can I get a good explanation?
I competed/trained on USA swimming club for years. 1) we all wear caps. 2) you shower prior to entering any pool, so your hair is wet per pool rules; then the cap goes on. 3) some of us put a little conditioner on hair ends under the cap. Not too much or the cap will slip off. 4) I washed AM and PM but none of us ever dry or style… training twice a day means you’re basically going to class with wet hair and always air drying because the training schedule is too demanding to allow time for styling. My hair was actually very healthy, long, natural blonde. But now that I do highlights and toning, and no longer swim, my hair has more split ends. 😂
I am curious if there is a difference in products for coily and kinky hair. I think that sulfate free was marketed for curly hair. We were told sulfates and silicones are bad.
I’m back to using silicones (just like I did when I was relaxed & my hair was fine), and my hair is doing much better!!! Much less breakage & single strand knots, and I just wash it well to remove them - no big deal at all! I do stay away from sulfates, just because my hair is bleached & really fine, but I do use clarifying shampoos without them, you get it all clean. It’s growing out just the way I want (although I’m not looking for super long hair at all). And I added in hair oiling before shampoo- again, used to do hot oil treatments with my relaxers. Those worked well then, so why would it be different now that I’m natural?? I’m doing what’s best for my hair now, not what the “curly hair experts” say, unless they are looking at my own hair when they say it 😊
I will say before you invest money in products, visit your doctor an request him to do a CBC, because you are looking too much hair. You might be deficient in Iron or have any other problem internally. 2nd what is happening in your life, are you stressed?, are you in any medication? So beware of life situations that can cause the hair loss.
I did this and found out I have toxic levels of vitamin d! Nutrafol has 313% of your daily vitamin d. Once I stopped taking it, my hair stopped falling out. I never would have known without a blood test! Editing to add, I recognize more people are deficient in vit d than not, but clearly not everyone is. I lost a lot of hair and got really stressed about it until I learned the cause.

Also, the shedding got started when I moved up North (Boston, then Minneapolis) and lived in a house without air conditioning. It wasn't *that* hot in the summer, mostly, but 3 months after the first heat wave ...
I got air conditioning last spring, and hope it will delay / lessen / eliminate my annual shedding. So far, so good.
I dislike how stupid humanity seems to be that we apparently, constantly need reminders to see our doctors about obvious shit.
Please do a vid on hormone related hair loss like menopause and pregnancy
Yes please!! I’m 4 months post partum and feel like I’m going bald!
Yes! My thyroid was damaged from radiation and chemo at the age of 52, so I now take thyroid medication. Thyroid issues cause a lot of hair loss in so many people.
And what you can do BESIDES taking your medication the way it is recommended ie; time, empty stomach, ect! There has to be more! Something else. I can't be cooked to crappy short hair cuts for the rest of my life!
I hate short hair on me! I've had it. My face looks like a basketball with short cut.
And PCOS PLEASE!!!!
Vitex, ladies
Sunday morning getting ready for church, doing my makeup with Abbey is always a great start of a new week ;)
awww thanks for getting ready with me 💗
Me too 🌻
Thank you!!!! I can feel my hair on my back for the first time in my life. I get excited every time I feel it.
yessss! amazing
This is really great! A few months ago I started following a lot of your haircare suggestions. I was using the OGX coconut oil overnight before washing, and L’Oreal EverPure bond repair and K18. I was washing maybe once every 4-5 days, and using the L’Oreal Leave-In to try to make my hair look decent on non-wash days. I have 3B curly hair that is RIDICULOUSLY fragile. It breaks so, so easily. I think these tips were really helping because my hair gained 1-2 inches of length over those months. Sadly, I got kind of lazy and lost all of that length. It was further proof that breakage is the reason my hair “won’t grow.” I’m starting my diligent routine again and we’ll see if I can keep it up for a year and gain density too!!!! I’m hopeful, but it’s very hard. Diet (protein, I guess?) also plays a role for me. Thanks for your great content, as always!
I’m sick and feeling miserable, but a video from you has turned around my day!
Sending the good vibes, dear!! I hate feeling the way I do on those days, so the less days like that in the whole world, the better. 💕💪💕💪💕
awww feel better! I’ve been sick too I’m right there with you
Would love a video on how to care for frizzy, gray hair that is colored every five weeks.
My dad has his silver crown of grey hair. I know i am going to follow suit. I cant wait to grow out my grey hair. Iv always wanted silver ombre hair. Now I can without the bleaching and damage. Wear your crown and dont be ashamed love ❤
I would love to hear more about hair loss due to PCOS and pre menopause. I can't even touch my hair without losing a ton of strands from the root.
Adding my hair is also naturally gray very course, wirey and frizzy but incredibly thin
I would love to hear more about it also!
Could you do a “basics” video showing what kind of products to use when and approx how much?
(Idk does the order in mask, treatment, conditioner etc matter? How many different products are needed and what is too much (idk, do you need multiple leave in products or so).
With a few recommendations for the different products.
Yes girl make more videos following this up. My hair is looking and feeling a lot better since I started following some of your advice and I definitely need more❤❤
yay I'm so glad! will do xx
Would love a deep dive into your trichology qualifications and training!
Yes to part 4 PLEASE! I also definitely think these hair growth supplement companies are quite exploitative, simply because they know hair science including that surrounding hair loss is still very sparse.
Yes Yes YES to a part 4!!!!!! (Pretty Please!)
You have changed my hair for the better and I only found you two months ago. My hair has never felt or looked better since using the Dove Bond Repair line and realizing that drugstore brands are not the enemy. I wish I found you years ago. The amount of money, time and frustration I could have saved myself is insane. Thank you for educating us. I would be lost without your wealth of knowledge. I definitely want to say yes to part 4 please. I hope you have a wonderful day!❤
Love this !!!! I have hair loss due to menopause but damage due to highlighting for years. Such a helpful lady here. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos and information so much! I’ve been a cosmetologist for almost 30 years and I was always taught sulfates and drug store shampoos were the devil. So I’m coming around to the idea of using sulfates now because of you, but I have one question still lingering. I was always taught sulfates strip color out of the hair. Is that misinformation as well? And, an unrelated question:Epres shampoo and conditioner market themselves as “quat free” what is that? Have you tried the shampoo and conditioner yet?
Yes, please do part 4!
Hi Abbey, could you do a video on how citric acid and maleic acid repair hair? Theres no info online! Love you to explain it :)
Definitely pt 4 Abbey please 🙏 & thankyou so so much for this educational upload… would love more like this & you have a great few days to Abbey! ❤❤❤ 😊😊😊
Yes to part 4! I experienced hair thinning in 2022 as a result of dangerously low b12 levels. Thankfully they're stable now but my hair has gone through many thinning cycles since. It feels like my hair follicle is more fragile now if that makes sense ❤
Yes please, part 4. Hairloss video would be amazing 🤩
Super refreshing to see someone without lip filler. Your natural face and hair is stunning ,
Abby is a true beauty. Also I love her knowledge not pushing products for her benefit.
💯🎉
Funny thing is she actually has lip filler and has been open about it. That doesn’t mean she s not naturally beautiful, you’re just used to noticing lip filler only when the lips are overfilled.
Just recently I started following your advice after chopping my hair cuz It was damaged beyond repair, I used coconut oil on my hair (not my scalp) and used Dove intensive repair and made sure to protect my hair.
Lately, I've been eyeing the L'Oreal Professional absolut repair & Absolut repair molecular to add extra protection to my hair, I would love if you do a review of their repair lines. Thank you Abbey, I ❤ u.❤❤❤❤
Great choices 😊 and on my list to review! 💗
@@AbbeyYungThank you so much for listening, I love you always. ❤❤❤
I stopped using drugstore shampoos for so many years now I’m back to using drugstore shampoo, conditioners, leaving conditioners, and my hair is thriving. I will not use anything else but silicones and sulfates.
Same,( although I mix it, cause I don't want to throw stuff away),now at the end of summer I would normally have to have a major chop all I need is a trim 🤗
I have some too I’ll prob eventually use but that’s a great idea to mix it 😊
silicones make my hair so shiny
My hair gradually got super thin when I went platinum. I didn’t even realize how bad it had gotten until I saw a picture of when I first went platinum 5 years earlier and it was long and thick. Right then I decided to go back to my natural brown, and my hair is getting so thick and shiny!
I would love to see a part 4 about hair loss due to Covid and aging!
I have 3c hair. It’s really curly and I also started looking into using products with silicones, bond-repair treatments and I pre-poo with the OGX hair oil as well! My hair has never been healthier! Just here to say that your tips work for curlies too!!
abby , your tips have helped so much dove intensive repair saved my hair tysm i wish i could try ever pure but i live in the uk
awww yay I'm so glad. and DANG I wish they were the same lines everywhere!
@@AbbeyYung ikr
Is the dove bond repair line available in uk, and are you thinking about trying that? I started with the bond repair one because Abbey liked it even more, but I was thinking about trying the intensive repair one too.
@@hexaitine in the UK the dove intensive repair 1 minute intensive mask is the same as the dove bond repair in the US. They have just given it different names and the US version has 2 more vegetable proteins that the UK one doesn't. The bond repairing bits are the same.
Your hair tips are my fav!! Would love if you reviewed the brand Davines
Aphogee has saved my hair over the years from bleach. Have you ever done a review on that product? I know it’s mainly bleach that’s breaking off my hair.
My hair was so broken. Started doing the aphogee protein treatment every 8 to 10 weeks and lots of Eliza vecca mask and amika the kure. Abbey has really gotten my hair back. Also always use the coconut oil before shampoo. It is amazing
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good this color looks at you ? 10/10 for a hoodie/blouse selection 🎉❤
Can you make a video on the products you put on your hair after showering?
It took a while, but you and Kayli Boyle convinced me to start using sulfates and silicones again. I learned they’re not bad for hair if used correctly. Education is key 👍🏻
Experiencing postpartum hair loss after following your tips for over a year and growing my hair 12 inches! Just cut off 6 inches to make it look full again confident that I will be able to regrow it once PP hair loss passes. Thanks for all you do!
Yes, part 4, 5 & 6! Keep the info coming! Thank you!
Fragrance free is the only thing I want to see on a label
My hair is triple the thickness since I started following your hair journey a few years ago. I followed it to the letter, from K18, Redkin Bond repair, pre shampoo oiling, oiling the mid to ends at night. ~~~IT WORKS!!!! Thank you Abbey ❤❤❤
Yes! Part four. You are so very interesting and informative. This old lady appreciates it very much.
Just subscribed!! I’m ready for my healthy hair journey! ❤
Love your videos. Use lots of your advice. My hair is significantly healthier than it has ever been in my life. My hairdresser is sooo impressed.
I lost loads of my hair after septic shock and emergency surgery resulting in me being critical in hospital for weeks. My hair was also matted because of not moving for a long time. I rubbed a growth serum (Grow Gorgeous) into my hair every night for about 6 months. Eventually it grew back just as thick, but I'm wondering whether that was because of the serum or the rubbing motion stimulating my follicles 🤔 no idea but at least it grew back
It’s like you were speaking to me directly about the hair thinning. Loved
As someone with curly hair, I make sure my hair is wet but not dripping when I put on gel so I lock in moisture because textured hair is drier.
Abbey, you usually don't use colors like your hoodie, so just wanted to tell you that it suits you beautiful!
Loved the video!! So informational
Dear Abby, I get Brazilian Blowouts on my hair, so I SHOULD stay away from sulphates, right? Please advise!
Happy Labor Day long weekend, Abbey!❤❤❤❤
Happy Labor Day weeked! xx
20 years of straightening frizzy hair as well as home coloring it due to grey hair …. Reaching premenopausal years and ending up with dry miserable hair ! Not sure what I can do anymore 😪
Also could you kindly let us know if Brazilian blowout can be ok to tame this sick hair ?
I always had amazing hair. In fact, hair has been my thing since a kid. Now that I gave birth I been loosing so much hair that I started to worried. I been trying to learn more about the cause and what I can use without harming breastfeeding 🤱. I think I successfully have make things better, but a video about this topic could be so useful.
THANK YOU! So nice to learn this stuff! 😊
Hey Abby...
Thank you for the knowledge on how to take care of my hair.
My hair has grown 6 inches and is thicker than ever!!! Thank you so much!!
More, more, more, please !! ❤❤
on it! xx
@@AbbeyYung I’m excited, thank you my Queen ❤️
i've felt so educated by your videos, thank you abbey! i bleached my hair for +10years to a white level, and when i gave it a rest for the second time in my life my hair started falling out from the root. i know because i see the little bubble that's the root 😢 i went to the doc, my analysis are ok, i now take minoxidil because the docs say the hair loss is probably only liked to my anxiety but still no improvement and it's been like... 8 months. i lost so much density! i'm scared! and well, i've been anxious and medicated for a lot of years. all of this to say: i'd love to see a video on actual hair loss from the root! because of you i booked a dermatologist that's also a specialist in trichology so wish me luck
great vid! Also out of blue question but can we use dry shampoo if you have a dry scalp?
Could you make a video on what brushes you recommend the most for blowouts and for regular hair days air dry tangle and brush out during the night I’m having a hard time choosing brushes and I know I have to replace them. They come to the end of life the ones that I have.
Yes please to part 4! 💖
Would love your opinion on in-salon hair deep conditioning treatments such as hair Botox. Are they worth it? my hair dresser recommends sulfate free shampoo when I get hair Botox to help it last longer.
Have you looked into the Philip Kingsley bond repair range? It would be interesting to hear your perspective on it considering Philip Kingsley is a well known trichologist and the brand has both in clinic treatments and off the shelf products.
Great video. Yes to part 4 please.
Also, I’d be interested in your thoughts on the John Freida and Kerastate bond repair lines too. Esp the former, most reviews online are partnerships and not independent.
I hope brands aren't afraid to release sulphate based shampoo against rather than continuing to demonise this ingredient. I have incredibly oily hair and really need sulphate based shampoo in my routine to clean my hair. I'd struggle otherwise with limp greasy hair.
as someone with an oily scalp i find sulfates (especially sodium laureth sulfate) to be less irritating than the “gentle ones” to be honest
@@xoxorosequartz I went back to a shampoo that I used for years and loved but stopped because I was told sulphates are bad. But so many sulphate free brands did not clean my hair. Now I'm using it again my hair is PROPERLY clean and volumised. Because my hair is actually clean (sles and sls in the one I use), my hair looks so much better and my curls came back. I don't know why I ever listened to trends based on zero science.
I’d love for you to address how dieting can impact the hair, especially regarding hair loss. I’m getting ready to start a health journey, and don’t want to experience extreme hair loss like I’ve experienced before with dieting.
Thank you Abbey!! Love these videos so much
Thanks for watching 😊
I can’t find the WOW review now that I’ve entered your profile but I’ve instantly followed you. Thank you so much for the refreshing honesty. Looking forward to learning how to hold onto brighter, healthier fair hair. 🍃
I just did a big chop (mid back to under the shoulder) and I’m going to try out all of your advice! I never even heard of pre-shower oiling before! I’m excited 😊
Question: given that bond repair products must be applied to damp hair, should oil products like OXG be applied to damp hair as well?
Doesn’t epres instruct you to apply to dry (and even dirty) hair? Is it still effective as a bond repair since it’s not applied to damp, clean hair?
Good question, I’d like to know as well. I wonder if, since it’s applied with water, because you have to mix the product in water then apply, if that counts as applying to wet hair?
Very helpful and educational!
I have been boiling onion and i put the water in a spray bottle in the fridge, about a week it should last. I put it on day and night. My hair has grown like crazy.
Sulfates in shampoos can strip natural oils from hair, making it dry and frizzy.
Great video!! Great information!!
My hair dryer has just broke and I’m trying to find a blow dryer that would be less damaging to my hair as I’m trying to grow it out. Are more expensive hairdryers less damaging to your hair than cheaper ones? Is it worth the extra money, if so what good quality blow dryer would u recommend? X
Hiya. I dont think it's the type of dryer so much as how you use it. I have an old Conair blow dryer, nothing fancy, but, I only use it on the cold setting, don't blowdry soaking wet hair, let it dry a bit 1st, and be sure to use a heat protectant. Hope this helps.
Do you color your hair? Need the do’s and don’ts for coloring!
I agree that sulfates are not necessarily a bad thing but they will strip color, especially red
Time to learn!!!🎉🎉
You taught me that my thinning hair was breakage rather than some kind of alopecia so ii ditched the scalp serums & started taking much better care of my hair with conditioners & bond treatments, my very thin hair is getting thicker. Thank you!
That is amazing!! I’m so happy to help 💗
Wow so early! Thank you abbey, your tips have helped my hair so much!!
thanks for watching and yay I am so glad 🥰
If Rogaine increases the length of the growing phase would that not help you to grow longer hair. I am not suggesting that Rogaine (minoxidil) would make your hair grow faster but just longer.
Only if it's not snapping off at the ends. I just started my minoxidil journey since I'm thinning at the temples after turning 40😮
Hey abbey....could you possibly do a video on how to take care of short/fine/prone to getting oily in 5 minutes hair....im desperate to find something to help so i dont feel like i have to wash my hair everyday!
Red therapy will help ?
Yes please to part 4
where has this content been my entire life
as someone whose hair is a big part of their life i looovvveeee your hair education content
i would really want to see more if this
It has been hard figuring out my routine with my fine, medium, wavy hair. Sulfates can be good for my scalp when I need it, but a bit too much for my hair to cause a little frizz or make questionably too soft. What is currently working for me is OGX (purple) shampoo with (white) conditioner, and good beard oil on my ends. It is a little below my ears, so I don't think my hair is quite long enough to try leave-in.
Hair must be wet for the mask or bond repair products to penetrate the cortex. But then why do swimmers suggest to wet the hair with regular water so that the water with chlorine DOESN'T penatrate the cortex. Can I get a good explanation?
I competed/trained on USA swimming club for years. 1) we all wear caps. 2) you shower prior to entering any pool, so your hair is wet per pool rules; then the cap goes on. 3) some of us put a little conditioner on hair ends under the cap. Not too much or the cap will slip off. 4) I washed AM and PM but none of us ever dry or style… training twice a day means you’re basically going to class with wet hair and always air drying because the training schedule is too demanding to allow time for styling. My hair was actually very healthy, long, natural blonde. But now that I do highlights and toning, and no longer swim, my hair has more split ends. 😂
Love all ur videos Abbey, can u do a declutter part 2 please? ❤️
I am curious if there is a difference in products for coily and kinky hair. I think that sulfate free was marketed for curly hair. We were told sulfates and silicones are bad.
I’m back to using silicones (just like I did when I was relaxed & my hair was fine), and my hair is doing much better!!! Much less breakage & single strand knots, and I just wash it well to remove them - no big deal at all! I do stay away from sulfates, just because my hair is bleached & really fine, but I do use clarifying shampoos without them, you get it all clean. It’s growing out just the way I want (although I’m not looking for super long hair at all). And I added in hair oiling before shampoo- again, used to do hot oil treatments with my relaxers. Those worked well then, so why would it be different now that I’m natural?? I’m doing what’s best for my hair now, not what the “curly hair experts” say, unless they are looking at my own hair when they say it 😊
I need a scrub! Are they safe to use? How frequently? any you recommend?
Awesome video as usual!
Your tips already helped me and saved me money ❤
i’m at the point in my hair care journey that whenever i see “silicone free” on a conditioner bottle i don’t even waste my time or money on it
Same!!!
Yeah I was fortunate to ditch that bandwagon years ago, did nothing but dry my hair out...
I will say before you invest money in products, visit your doctor an request him to do a CBC, because you are looking too much hair. You might be deficient in Iron or have any other problem internally. 2nd what is happening in your life, are you stressed?, are you in any medication? So beware of life situations that can cause the hair loss.
What is a CBC?
Complete blood count
I did this and found out I have toxic levels of vitamin d! Nutrafol has 313% of your daily vitamin d. Once I stopped taking it, my hair stopped falling out. I never would have known without a blood test! Editing to add, I recognize more people are deficient in vit d than not, but clearly not everyone is. I lost a lot of hair and got really stressed about it until I learned the cause.
