I’m a cosmetics chemist. The pH of any given product can drift over a shelf life. When formulating skin/hair products, every ingredient added needs to fit into that drift, which is +/-10% and that could be why the Redken product has a higher pH range. This is particularly important for preservatives and actives which have to fit into that drift range.
Thank you so much!
Redken dried the crap out of my hair. Having said that, I appreciate our Queen 👸 Abby for doing all this research for us. I’m most certain that the reason Redken didn’t work out for me is because my hair needs protein for reparative reason. Redken does not have protein. Olaplex No6 -leave in works wonders However it did take a month to see results. I’m inpatient, if I spend lots of money my expectations are higher. Lol. Anyhow thank you Abby for all your homework. You make things easier for All of us. You’re awesome 👏🏽 ❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌸🌸
@@Kindlyone777 that’s disappointing
My sentiments exactly!!
that makes a lot of sense
The pH of the scalp is naturally around 5.5. In order for the shampoo to remove sebum, the pH must be the same or higher (max 6 for dailyuse). Hair likes a lower pH of 4 - 2.5! Therefore, it is important that the shampoo has a pH around 5-6 and then we apply the conditioner with a lower pH along the length. If the shampoo has a pH of, for example pH 3-4, it will not wash the skin and will cause irritation.
I don't know if I explained clearly in English 🙈 Greetings from Poland ♥ ️
pH 6.5 and 7 will be good for better cleansing once in a while (then the masks and conditioners applied later will penetrate the hair more strongly). Alkaline pH opens the cuticle and allows nutrients to penetrate inside, which is probably why olaplex shampoo has a higher pH to make their patented ingredient work even better, because after shampooing, we always apply a conditioner with a lower pH and close the hair cuticle.
The pH can be used in your hair care for amazing results! if you want to regenerate your hair (e.g. at a hairdresser), you need to clean your hair with an anionic detergent (e.g. SLS )-based shampoo at a pH of 6-7 to open the cuticle and clean the built-upz Then we apply the target regenerating ingredients (proteins, humectants) and finally we apply a product with a low pH, which closes the cuticle and allows the ingredients to remain in the hair longer.
At the end of the haircare routine, we always use products with the addition of emollients - silicones, vegetable oils, fatty alcohols, ceramides and phospholipids. Apart from the acidic pH, emollients are crucial in smoothing and closing the hair cuticles. In Poland, we pay a lot of attention not only to the use of knowledge about pH, but also to the use of, for example, proteins in the right order and emollients immediately after them. We call it the „MOO method” - ang. WCC 😃 (abbreviation of the first letters of the words: washing, conditioner, conditioner), where first we clean the hair with SLS shampoo, then we use a protein product, wash it and apply an emollient product for a while.
So would the Olaplex be one of the best options? I have really fine hair and fallout so I’m wondering which set to buy from the ones she mentioned.
@@noemidrescher1154 For toning and bond repair and ph balance
Wet hair
Redken VB Purple mask or Christophe robin or kerastase
Rinse and use (5.3 PH) Pureology purple shampoo? Or redken acidic bonding shampoo, or amika the cure( 4.7-5.2 PH)
Dry hair, use k18
Dry for 10-15
Use number 6
Buy redkin acid shampoo conditioner mask? For ph balance or is the pureology purple shampoo okay.
How about hair gloss treatments?
@@preetvirk9722 I think the Olaplex Shampoo at least might be too hydrating for fine hair
Video Request! Same concept but with hair masks! Ranking your fav hair masks would be super helpful. Thanks!
Abbey, thanks so much for being the hair care guru. Your advice for fine hair has been a game changer. I have changed a few products I've been using and have really seen some great results. I'm in Sydney, Australia, so frizz city, but I'm taming my mane one product at a time. Thank you again, Cheers Debra
After a full bleach and turning blonde, my hairdresser used olaplex 1 & 2, so they recommended I use the shampoo, conditioner, mask and leave-in conditioner afterwards since it would help my hair the most. I don't think it is the best brand out there, but the bottles are huge and you only need such a tiny bit, so I still have SO much left even after half a year. I will definitely use it until it is done, but perhaps after I will try something else
Amika has become one of my fave brands by far!! They have soooo many good products!
First wash with my amika the cure set bought on your recommendation and seriously WOW. I have used EVERYTHING - olaplex, Redken, Kerastase, pureology, Davines, Moroccan oil and I find them all “nice but not amazing” but this seriously made my hair feel like silk. Can’t believe it. Love the smell too and the conditioner is like a luxury thick yogurt. I realise it’s crazy to talk like this about haircare Lol but that’s why we all love these hair videos!
Same!!
I just used the curl smith “moisturizing shampoo and conditioner” and YIKES! I never rlly have frizzy hair and this made my hair frizzy! I am so upset but I recently learned I don’t need a moisturizing product I need a conditioning product! I think I will try amika!
What is your hair type because I have thick wavy hair like really thick and I really want to try Amika the Kure but don’t know if I want to spend 156 dollars on all the Amika the Kure line
I have been switching back and forth between pureology strength cure and Matrix total effects smoothing. Love them both.
I can't tell you how helpful this was to me, I watched id probably 4-5×. I ended up with pureology and amika conditioner! Can't wait till they get here! Thanks for all your help! I'm a bleach blonde myself, our hair looks almost exactly the same so your words mean so much to me!! Thank you a thousand times!!
😅😅😊
That olaplex shampoo has to be the most concentrated shampoo I have ever used! I have never had a shampoo lather the way it does with such a small amount and it’s still very gentle. Olaplex shampoo and conditioner is definitely one of the best I’ve ever used.
I've heard it lathers really well but doesn't clean that well (leaves residue or waxy feeling on hair) have you noticed this? I want to try it but my hair is thin fine and oily so I'm scared! lol
@@stephh12341 I feel like it cleanses my hair perfectly fine. A few times, I used the Olaplex shampoo on days where I really felt due for a clarifying shampoo and it still did an amazing job at cleaning. For your hair type, I wouldn’t recommend it as a daily shampoo, but keep in your rotation.
My course curly hair did not do well with Opaplex . If felt good while using all the products. I spent hundreds of dollars for almost 2 years . Then finally realized 😳 it kept my hair frizzy dry and never grew. I finally made a choice to change my products and my hair has already changed a bit. . It may feel good one time use but using it long term did nothing but made my hair worse. It's probably better for different textures.
@@deniseann4757 Yeah I think it probably does best with drier thicker hair as it's really rich and has lots of really hydrating ingredients in oils and butters which can be a lot
It is. I love it but makes my head itchy 🙁 a lot of shampoos do though. I thought it was sulfates but Olaplex doesn’t have them.
Hi Abbey ❤, Hope you're keeping well ❤! I purchased the Redken 3 step system based on your recommendations. As I am prone to a lot of hair breakage. I just knew Pureology would be mentioned in this video 📹! But I am surprised you didn't put it in first place because you have raved about it so many times. Loved this video 📹 ❤!
I bought the Amika one because of you and I’m obsessed. I have dry scalp & type 2 hair. Smells sooooo good. I really wanted to buy pureology and at some point, I’ll end up trying it because I decided to watch this video! I thought before purology wouldn’t be a good fit for me because I didn’t have color treated hair. Thanks for info Abbey!
THIS IS THE EXACT VIDEO I'VE NEEDED. THANK YOU, ABBEY.
Can’t wait to see what you have to say about the new Olaplex toner shampoo that was just released! I’m getting it. I’m sooo excited! I’m all about Olaplex, now I don’t have to mix it with Kevin Murphy. 🤩
I am surprised Kerastase didnt make your top 4. I would love to see you do a video on more of their products. Thanks and I love your videos!! ♡♡♡
I ascites love your videos. I happened across them a few weeks ago. I've grown out my hair the last two years and have really damaged split ends. Based off of your past videos I'm actually now using olaplex No. 3 and a few other products like a rince. Lots of improvement. Thanks, Mel making great content!
Thank you for your honest review, Abbey! ♥️
Olaplex will always be my number 1!! 💗
@@Rachelloveomg Aww thanks!
Olaplex do Miracles.
I LOVE YOU OLAPLEX ❤️❤️❤️
@Elizabeth Botelho Aww we love to hear that! We hope you love OLAPLEX! 💕
My daughter has extremely light blonde hair and since birth it’s been unmanageable (not exaggerating, it literally turns into dread locks over night lol) I’ve tried everything with her hair. Silicone free, coconut oil , high protein no protein etc and the Annika products along with the olaplex leave in have finally made her hair soooo healthy and beautiful! It’s finally been able to grow and her hair has the most wonderful shine and texture.
Thanks for your comment, convinced me to buy the amika mask...Hopefully it will help my dry hair.
This is a really old comment. But yor daughter needs oil in her hair.
Try Biolage. My hair is just like that. The moisture is the best for our hair.
Thank you...this was a needed video. I've already purchased the Kure deep conditioner for a weekly deep conditioning and it's fantastic. Now I am going to buy the shampoo and conditioner. I do have dry coarse hair so this seems to be perfect. I always had luscious beautiful virgin hair but as I aged and am now coloring grey for years, the texture changed dramatically. I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. My hair doesn't get greasy if I don't wash it, just more and more dry. Washing it and adding moisture through my conditioner gives it some life back. Adds bounce and shine.
Love all the info you manage to cram into your videos!
I’d love to hear about the scents of these items, even just a rough description, and maybe on a scale of 1-10 how intense the smell is or if it lingers. Lots of people are scent-sensitive, including myself, and it’s hard to buy certain things like hair care products online if you’re trying to stay out of stores or you just don’t have one local.
I’d also LOVE to see a review on the full Amika The Kure line. Thank you!!
So I have all 4 of these and I would say Olaplex is the only one that doesn’t linger (even with using the Olaplex leave in and oil). It is a super light fresh scent and the day after washing my hair, my hair doesn’t smell like it anymore (even sometimes the night of washing my hair - once it’s dry - i can’t really smell it anymore). The pureology one is the most fragranced, I even washed my hair with Olaplex a few days after using pureology and could still smell the pureology which I don’t mind because the pureology one smells amazing! It’s just super strong. Redken and Amika are both “normal” in the lingering factor. I can usually smell it the next day but it’s not very strong. I would go to Ulta or Sephora and smell them all - just to see if you even like the scent! That way you’re not wasting your money! 🙌 hope this helped!! I definitely feel like my hair is the softest and easiest to detangle with the Amika & Pureology ones!
@@joannaschmucker7910 Thank you! I get migraines from many fragrances. I appreciate your comment, especially because with Abbey's descriptions Pureology was the one I was most interested in trying next. 🤔
I love the purology shampoo and conditioner. I started watching your channel in February of this year after I chopped off about 8 inches off my hair. I spent about $300 buying products you recommend and you have saved my hair sooo much. I’m always looking forward to new recommendations from you. My hair has grown about 4 inches since February all thanks to you! My hairstylist was so amazed at my growth. Thank you sooo much for these videos
Wow this makes me so happy 🥰
Hi Bianca! That's amazing. Would you mind sharing what you have been doing/using for your hair please?
@@zhuqeelahscott7072 of course! I started using pureology and started washing once a week. I bought a water filter, microfiber towel, the ordinary oils, the hair masks (my favorite is the briogeo avocado mask), I use the pureology color fanatic leave in spray, and I’ve cut back on using heat products, and I started taking Vital Proteins collagen peptides. Soo pretty much I’ve done almost everything Abbey recommends lol. And trim my hair every 3 months.
@@biancamanriquez7599 thank you for sharing!
4 inches is normal. Hair grows about a 1/2 a month. As long as you're trimming regularly you'll see the growth. If you don't get regular trims your hair will just break off and you'll see no growth.
I just purchased and began using Amika The Kure based on your rec. I am thoroughly impressed. I have used Biolage conditioning balm my whole life. It’s the only conditioner that helps me get through the knots in my thick, wavy hair. I used the Amika shampoo and conditioner thinking that the conditioner wouldn’t be enough for me. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised! Holy hell! Thank you for putting in all of the work and reviewing products for us! I am beyond thrilled with how my hair reacted to Amika! 👌💜✨🖤🙏
Agreed I love it.
Thank you Abbey for another informative and awesome video! Do you have a video about understanding proteins in haircare, symptoms of too much protein and how to care for hair after too much protein? I would love to understand this more.
Edit... just saw a video above! THanks again!
I signed up for Fab Fit Fun today and was shook when I realized I could try the Amika shampoo and conditioner bundle in this season’s box 👀 I’m hype!! Thanks abbey!
I got those two products in my box. They are amazing!!
I bought the Amika bond one that you have in this video and it dried my hair out and my daughters. So I tried the hydrating line and WOW love it! My hair is medium and dry my daughter has thin dry hair and we’re in love.
Would you mind spilling the tea on your lip combo? Would love a video on lip colors for fall by undertone for wedding season coming up!
I started pureology due to your raving reviews and have never looked back. Although now thinking about trying Alicia. Thanks for the honest reviews!
I had the worst protein build-up and flaky scalp while using Olaplex! my hair was also frizzier than ever. After trying many others I purchased the whole product line of the Redken acidic bonding thanks to you and it changed my life forever!! I have fine-medium straight hair with balayage.
Have you watched Abbey’s video on hair porosity? It sounds like maybe you have low porosity hair! My friend has low porosity hair and also had the same issue with Olaplex. Meanwhile I have very high porosity hair and Olaplex is literally my holy grail, haha
@SLA how can you tell if your hair has low or high porosity?
My hairdresser has started me using the brand you suggested . I use the yellow bottle that’s for volume for shampoo and and the green Kuse for conditioner. I have found that it gives me volume as well as keeping my hair silky soft and I have almost no breakage at all. I also don’t apply heat to my hair unless I am going out and I always use a good heat protector as well. My hair is also color treated with highlights.
I have the Olaplex system and love it. My cousins who is a hairdresser also recommends Olaplex
Great video! Started using the Pureology set based on your recommendation alternated with the Bondi Boost HG set and my hair has never been healthier. I love Amika styling products but because my hair is fine and thin, I think I'll stick with the Pureology over the Amika Kure. Thanks for such a thorough review
I wanna use bondi boost but I’m scared bc ppl say their hair is starting to fall out bc of their new formulation!
@@Carcassbits11 the Strength Cure
You are incredibly intelligent. You didn’t fumble on your words once. No goofy nonsense- so refreshing! I learned so much !!
Amazing video Abbey!! Your content is so helpful and I love watching your videos 💜💜 I recently went blonde and was wondering if you would be willing to share your favorite purple shampoos? I saw your pureology purple shampoo review as well as the fanola (?) review but would love to hear any updates on your favs!! Thanks again for the vid love you 💜💜💜
Thank you Abbey! Great review! So glad you mentioned who may benefit from the redkin set especially. All much needed info. When do you need to use conditioner. Since bleaching I only see benefit from masks. How about bumble & bumble invisible oil new ultra rich shampoo? From beginning to end your review was excellent!
I have the Redken because of your recommendation. I have some others I need to get through, but I am definitely interested in Pureology and Amika, which has a better price point.
I’m so happy Bc I went on a little buying spree today at Ulta & got a ton a of mini Sizes. Hadn’t even seen this video, but happened to buy the Olaplex, pureology strength cure, and the redken acidic bonding! So happy that I picked some good ones
You’ve helped me so much Abbey! My hair was breaking, dry, and falling out. I switched to the Purology set and my hair now is amazing. It took a solid month, i shampoo twice a week usually. I regularly damage my hair in my suana but now I’m using a leave-in mask or conditioner in my hair before I enter it too. Love your channel!❤️
Omg yay 🥰
So I use the redken shampoo right now that you recommended before and I like to alternate every once in a while so I think I'm gonna try the pureology. I really like the redken shampoo though because I feel like I can go longer without having to use dry shampoo. My hair always feels so clean from using it too. I also use olaplex right now which has really saved my hair when I had to strip out red coloring out of it and it felt so thin and dry I cried. I literally thought all of my hair was going to fall out because of the breakage. I will never dye my hair red again or any color that has to be stripped out.
Love this! Have you tried Kevin Murphy or Davines hair care lines? I’m trying to look more into those brands!
Hi Abbey. I really love your vids and find your info to be truly helpful. I always look to see what your thoughts are on any hair/skin care products before I make the purchase. So this question doesn't exactly pertain to this vid, but I was wondering what your thoughts are on the latest talk about hyaluronic acid for hair. I'm seeing vids on Tiktok of people even applying hyaluronic acid face creams/oils to their hair, and they say it transformed their dry hair into silk. What are your thoughts on using the face creams/oils as a double for a hair treatment as well? Thank you so much for your reviews on everything
I actually just purchased the travel sized kit of Olaplex to see how I like it! I’ve personally been using Briogeo hair care (which was pretty great)
I love a good ranking video with explanations! I've been using the Olaplex shampoo & conditioner for a long time (aside from some samples and a period of attempting to follow the cgm or at least a modified cgm). But I will probably switch to the amika the kure set when I'm out. I got a sample of them a sephora order and was shocked by how well my hair turned out even though I didn't have time that day to use a deep conditioner/treatment/mask. I know I can't go without the latter for long, but now maybe I'll get even better results! I've suspected for a bit that the olaplex shampoo wasn't doing much for me anymore, though I love the rest of the olaplex products I've tried (all but 0 and the new purple shampoo).
Shampoos tend to have a higher ph to open up the hair and really cleanse it well and then you go in with a more acidic conditioner and seal everything in. Most of the time you will not find a super acidic shampoo. But if you want to check one out the fanola fiber fix shampoo is very acidic I think it’s a 3-4 ph that’s the most acidic set I’ve ever found
I appreciate all the videos I've watched from you about these different products for those of us that have bleached for ages and my process of going with a lot of blond with dimension over 7 years from a level 4. I have waist length hair and I'm just to the point where Olaplex shampoo and condition are just not at all doing me any good AT ALL.
I get dread like tangles and have reduced the amount of times I wash my hair (major chore) to every 5 to 6 days. I use dry shampoo in between on my scalp. I'm torn now on whether to go with one of the two Redkens or the Amika.... However, appreciate you research and thoughts on the product!!!! Hoping for a little bit of more health to my hair soon!
I love your channel so much. From your mascara recommendations to hair tips, you've really been a help on this platform. I appreciate your enthusiasm!!
I have never had a shampoo review be so accurate and helpful. I hust switched from Redken Acidic Bonding to Olaplex 4&5... and instantly noticed I was getting a more itchy scalp... it is due to the protein build up as you discussed! You have made me realise I need to value pH more for my particular hair... so thank you so much!!!
PS I am a trained Chemist (MSc and Masters in biotechnology) and I actually worked on hair care additives which were bought by some Japanese shampoo companies... I know teach Chemistry up to A-Level (what you would have as AP Chemistry!)... So I can safely say I am really impressed with a non chemist to be able to communicate all this information to such a high level! ❤️
I just bought the redken travel set on ultas website I’m so excited to try it! I always wondered why my hair wasn’t as smooth as I wanted it to be, I’m realizing it might’ve been protein build up. So looking forward to trying these!
Hello! If you suffer from frizz, it also oust might be that you have waves or curls and not know how to take care of them properly yet :) I suggest you check out the CGM!
Those Amika Kure products are my favorite for my dry, wiry hair. Great video!
I’m a cosmetologist. pH balanced = 7.5. So if the shampoo is pH = 6. And the conditioner pH = 4, neither are pH balanced. But, the lower the pH, the smoother you hair will feel, as a lower pH = more acidic and closes the hair’s cuticle so it feels smoother.
The scalp’s pH is around 5.5 and the hair is 3.5-4.5 so 7.5 is definitely not pH balanced. Going too much above our normal pH makes hair more porous and susceptible to damage so having products that are closer to neutral or even alkaline, that’s definitely not good for our hair.
I think this implies pH balanced for the scalp, not the middle of the pH scale. Similarly, pH balance of the vagina is no where near pH of 7, at which a lot of opportunistic bad things proliferate. It’s closer to a pH of 4.
Hi! Thank you so much for your content!
I’ve been looking into really perfecting my hair care routine, and on my way I found Oribe and am obsessed. However, I have literally never heard and hair influencers talk about the brand/product- do you have any thoughts/opinions?
Thank you so much for this very informative report. I have been used to shampoo daily for decades - even twice when I am going out in the evening or when I am sweaty. Nevertheless I am not used to change my shampoo very often. I had washed with Wella SP Balance Scalp shampoo for many years before I have changed to OLAPLEX No.4 a few months ago. I do really love it and I feel comfortable because OLAPLEX is free from some less recommendable ingredients. (By the way: Your skin looks gorgeous and your makeup is seamless and very beautiful.)
I just placed an order for Amika products because of a recommendation then I came across this video. So excited to try it for my damaged hair. I currently use Bondi Boost products but wanted to try this for repairing my damaged hair.
Not a chemist, but a nursing major who just took chemistry and is taking physiology 😬 pH can vary by batch based on how acidic or basic it happens to turn out. This can vary based on ingredient sourcing, the amounts *slightly* changing in each batch, etc. The citric acid, obviously, is acidic, and I’m assuming that they most likely use a set amount of each ingredient and don’t adjust for each batch, meaning that although the ingredients are in the same amounts each time, the pH can vary because the amounts don’t account for small variations that naturally occur in each batch. pH can also change over time when it’s exposed to air and water.
TL;DR: citric acid is the main ingredient used to make the pH acidic, and because each batch can vary in pH before the citric acid is added, and the amounts of each ingredient in the “recipe” never changes, the pH may not always be exactly the same. But that’s just my kind of educated guess
Hey this goes well with my comment. Guessing it's a raw material limitation. Can't make your own specs tighter than lot to lot variation.
So interesting thank you for sharing with the class 🤓♥️♥️
I just ordered a sample set of Olaplex that I’m excited to try!
I’m going to have to try this version of Pureology. I’ve tried 3 of their other formulas and they made my hair so dry and frizzy. I have the Redken set and like that. Now I’m excited to try these others that you rate even higher than the Redken! 😁
Did you try the hydrating shampoo for Pureology because I’m considering buying it but I have very very dry hair so I don’t know if this would help?
since your hair gets dry from pureology but likes redken’s formula maybe look into if your hair needs more protein/moisture - redken doesn’t seem to have much protein (too much protein can make your hair feel dry, brittle, straw like) while pureology has protein
@@jkookie1964 yes and also the Nanoworks gold . I liked the Nanoworks until they changed the formula. This was around 8 years ago, maybe the formulas have changed since then. After seeing this video, I bought the Pureology Strength Cure and agree that it’s better than the Redken. I really like it but the scent is so strong and I am sensitive to perfumes.I wish they would dial back the perfumes!! If I am struggling with allergies/sinus issues, I have to use a different shampoo or else the Pureology scent will make me sick.
Ulta had this shampoo/conditioner 50% off during the 21 days of beauty sale so I gave it a try and love it.
“Better Not Younger's Wake Up Call Volumizing Shampoo is a gentle, sulfate-free, volume boosting shampoo that adds instant fullness and manageability to flat, thinning hair without drying it out. “
I bought the pureology on sale at Ulta , haven’t tried it yet , they sent me the redken 3 piece set samples for free when you spend $40 . I liked the redken it made my hair so soft . I use the whole olaplex set so it’s hard to pick between the redken bonding
I am so excited to come across this comparison! I have very heavy hair and my scalp gets oily very quickly, but I have breakage and split ends. I already use preventative measures like a satin scarf and pillow, but wanted to switch from redden extreme because it just feels like it may be too heavy for my hair. These are exactly the shampoos I’ve been researching as an alternative, and it definitely helped make my decision easier!!
Redken used to be absolutely amazing. I believe their products have changed. Try the Bleach Recovery as a conditioner. It’s amazing.
As per one of your videos I just started using Pureology this week. I really like it but find I can’t get all of the conditioner out. It hasn’t been a problem though. Wondering if you’ve ever tried Colleen Rothschild or Renpure and what your thoughts on those are? Loving your channel!
This is exactly the video I need right now. Thank you.
Shampoos contain alkaline ingredients which act as the cleansers and raise the pH. They raise the cuticle and allows the cleaners to lift dirt from within. This is why your hair can feel rough and tangled before you put conditioner on. Shampoos can have PH levels as high as 10.
Conditioners are more acidic (lower pH) and this closes the cuticle, locking in moisture & smoothing the hair.
I purchased the redken shampoo after watching your video. I loooove the scent, it's not overpowering and it smells like citrusy fruits. Leaves my hair amazing. And it's less expensive than the Kevin Murphy shampoos I was using.
I think I'm gonna try the pureology next time, if u consider it better.
But I was wondering if it's better to stick to one shampoo for a few years or is it bad to change everytime?
I have the Amika line and the Olaplex line love them both 🥰
I’ve used olaplex full range but felt like my hair was heavy. Now I’m using pureology strength cure and my hair feels nice was abit dry when I first washed it but apparently it gets better the more you use it “pureology” think I will just alternate between the two. Also I like the 21 colour fanatic spray mixed with the ouai leave in too. They work well together. I’m obsessed with hair and obsessed with reading reviews about products 😂x
Hydrate Sheer made my hair fall out.
I’m going to try pureology after watching this video…. Love all of your videos! They help so much
I currently love using the Olaplex duo about once a month paired with the No.3 treatment, especially when I am getting close to a haircut appt and need to keep it in tact to stop and current damage. If I use it too frequent I don’t like it as much. It makes my hair heavy. If my hair is extra dry I will use only the conditioner with my normal shampoo like you mentioned since it is THAT good. But for my normal routine shampoo and conditioner I personally love the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Moisturizing formula with Lavender and Mint. I have really thick, dry, wavy/curly hair with a drier scalp. I’ve tried so many other brands and continue to use this duo since it moisturizes my textured hair without being heavy, it’s smells amazing, and doesn’t get super greasy when I workout consistently throughout the week. Idk what the pH is but it seems to work perfectly with whatever the pH of the water I use is. I know when I lived in an area with hard water that changes my whole routine.
I adore PM Tea Tree in lavender and mint too! I have 1A/B hair.
i used Olaplex for 2-3 months, i'm now on Redken... i gotta say, Redken for me is better.
Same! ❤
I've tried all these in the past but my favorite is amika. I love the Shampoo and conditioner also the detangling spray.
Amazing video, as always! Question (and my apologies if you've answered this a million times): how do you feel about splitting up sets/mixing and matching different shampoos and conditioners? Thank you for all you do!
Hi abbey ♥️. What do you think about the Amika the Kure hair mask? I know you did a video with your favorites hair masks, but the amika one wasn’t on it. Thoughts???
Great video - thank you! Have been using Pureology shampoo with a 5 min mask (Oaui) after your recommendations recently and watching my hair come back to life 🙏
I’ve been using amika forever and LOVE it, but my hair has been too greasy with it lately :/ so I’m sold on switching to purology and seeing how that goes. Thank you for all the info!
Giiirl, what blush are you wearing?? Your make up looks amazing
I just bought olaplex shampoo and conditioner a weeks ago and have been using it and I absolutely love it little bit goes a long way it’s my new favourite it’s the most concentrated shampoo I’ve ever used in my life
my stylist told me for conditioners it should be 3-4 ph so im really excited to try out the conditioner from redken
Abbey, so close for the fall!❤️🍂
You have turned me on to Purology and I have been using it for about a month and love it! I didn’t want to love it as much as I do because of price point lol, but it’s amazing. Haven’t tried any of the others but will be! Thanks for all you do! ❤️
Hi does that shampoo have a strong smell?
@@DogMommy. I wouldn’t say strong smell, but it is scented. I feel like the purple bottle has a stronger smell than the blue one, I prefer the blue bottle. Hope that helps!
@@bonnierogers4922 thank you ❤️
Going to try redken and pureology. THANK YOU!
I use Olaplex. I will not be trying the Amika bc my hair gets weighed down by so many products. I’m interested in trying the Redkin or Purology. I am also using Dirty Bee shampoo & conditioner. I really like how my hair looks & feels with it. It comes in bars which I surprisingly really like. And it is inexpensive & lasts a long time. You only need a little bit! Thanks for the great info!
Hi Abbey! I really like your videos! My hair is thin and breaking form medications. Which one do you think would help most with breakage and not weigh it down?
I always go back to Olaplex, it's gentle on my scalp and makes my hair so soft, I tried a natural one from Maui and I was just trying to save money and it brought my dandruff back, I've tried so many, hopefully I could find an affordable one with the same ingredients.
Did you find the Olaplex hydrating?
@@tylerhicks6132 Late but yeah Olaplex is super hydrating in fact it can be a little too hydrating if your hair is fine it has a lot nice oils and butter
Thoughts on Kevin Murphy hydrate me wash and rinse? I have similar hair type to you - maybe a bit more normal than thin and a bit thicker, but I keep coming back to this one as top of my list - definitely over pureology and olaplex
I have t he Olaplex, the Redken and Pureology but the Pureology is hands down my favourite, I have oily hair and this has helped a lot, I have also had a lot of hair growth since using this, I don't know if it is related but it certainly has helped. Thanks, now I want the Amika as well!!
I have an oily scalp and the Amika shampoo made my scalp greasier. Super gross. Never tried the conditioner. I should have. I also tried the Redken both shampoo/conditioner and they both dried the crap out of my hair. The Redken really cleans the scalp but tangles the hair to no end. Pureology is just ok. The shampoo made my hair super greasy the conditioner is just ok. My hair is bleached so I need protein. I have not tried Olaplex. However I do use Olaplex 6 leave in and Olaplex oil- this worked the best because I feel like it repairs my hair. Olaplex the best for damaged hair for sure. 🌻🌻
I plan on getting the pureology shampoo and conditioner and the Amika hair mask 🥰
Thank you for your fantastic helpful info :) If you are using olaplex conditioner would you still use a leave in condition afterwards? Would you say once would "cancel" the other? Or would you say they complement each other?
I am a loyal olaplex user, I really enjoy it however I will say, when I pushed my hair past it’s integrity redken saved me. I have not used the shampoo and conditioner from Amika but have used their mask from that line and it was great. There’s not one product from Amika I haven’t been thrilled with. Pureology, I used to use their hydration line for years but never tried the strength cure apart from the purple shampoo version which I really enjoyed also. I think I will pick up the pureology to try out 😌😊
Loved this video! Thank you. Which bronzer do you have on your cheeks? Looks stunning
I did a quick search and I didn't see this already mentioned, but I know from skincare that the lather of a cleanser is related to the pH. That is why your bottom two favorites had higher pH but also better lather. I don't recall the exact reason but I do know that you can't get as strong as a lather or foam from a cleanser that is a lower pH.
I'd love to see your recommendations laid out in a list for different types. For instance, it sounds like Amika The Kure would be perfect for my thick, coarse, high-porosity hair which tends to dryness. As it happens, I HAVE used it and the heaviness of the shampoo and conditioner is wonderful for my hair, which is never weighed down by anything.
In addition to what others said about causes of a pH range, I would suggest avoiding saying that something is "pH balanced" versus not. Many other ingredients can affect the pH, so while some companies may try to "pH balance", that may or may not mean that the product is the optimum pH for haircare. Overall, I really appreciate how you tackle scientific concepts despite not having a degree in a related field, and I'd say you can explain things better than some chemistry PhD students I know 😊💜
Can you do a video on recommendations for hair loss? ☺️
Good review, can you do a review and comparison of the Amika normcore vs. the Kure? Thanks
I never use the same shampoo and conditioner in sets. My shampoo needs are greatly different from my conditioner needs. The classic greasy scalp vs dry damaged ends saga 😳
Thank you for this video - so well done. Side note- what is your lipstick? It’s so pretty and looks great on you.
thank you for this video!! not mentioned in this video but i am interested by the Redken Extreme length shampoo!! what are your thoughts on it? 🤍
i have a normal scalp, high porosity bc my hair were white platinum bleached for three years but now they’re brown since june but my natural hair is black!
i used to have 2c/3a hair at some parts but also 2b type hair but now it’s mostly 2a/2b bc of the damage bleach caused 🥲
i currently use fanola nutri care shampoo + mask and the mask is doing so good things to my hair. they are shiny and soft ✨ but i hate the shampoo especially the smell 😫
my hair are definitely doing better now that they’re brown but theyre still very much damaged and i heard good things about the redken extreme length so yeah… wanted to know your opinion on it :)
Love love Redken I have olaplex too, I go back and fourth. Maybe the other 2 will be my next rotation ❤️😂😩
How do you feel about bed head hair products?? I started to use their oil infused one and I feel like it have added so much moisture back in my hair that I was definitely missing.. I switch between that one and either the olaplaex/acid bonding to keep a balance?
Hi Abby, I just started following you and love your channel. I have bleached hair like you and I wanted to know how you incorporate purple shampoo, or anti-brass products, to ensure the blond does not turn brassy. Thanks!
Also have you tried the new formulation of the strength cure? The smell and packaging is different so I wasn’t sure if the formula was different
Edit: 10/18/21 - 4 week update. The hair fall has improved significantly and it feels healthy. Will continue to use and update.
Original post:
I have used the pureology strength a few times and I have a lot more hair fall than normal. Not breakage, but actually hair coming out. Why is that? It makes my hair soft and moisturized feeling, but I cannot continue to use with this much loss.
Great videos with excellent explanation! Thanks. A woman that works for Loreal recommended to me the Kerastase Genesis bain nutri- fortifiant for dry weak hair and breakage I would love to hear your opinion on these thanks
I tried the Pureology set a while back after you recommending it and although I liked how it made my hair look and feel, it made my scalp really itchy which I’ve never had before (if anyone has any idea why it might have given me that reaction I’m all ears!) I went back to Olaplex with my tail between my legs 😆 I’ll give the Amika set a try next as I like the sound of the low PH levels. Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos Abbey x
I had a similar experience with both the Pureology and the Redken. I think it might be due to the high amount of perfumes in both.
I had the same issue with the Pureology and now think I know why: it has lavender in it which can be an irritant so this might be causing your issue.
Olaplex makes my head itchy. 🙁 Maybe pureolgy doesnt then haha
Unfortunately, all Pureology shampoos contain Cocamidoryl betaine. I am allergic to this ingredient, my scalp itches. I cannot use shampoos with this ingredient and many brands use it in their shampoos.🤥
is it sulphate free? I've ordered the Volume Shampoo sulphate free
