I think the reason that we hold on to those hair myths is because haircare is the first thing we had control over as girls. We may not have been able to wear makeup until older but our hair is something we could focus on so we believed all those weird things we were told as young girls. They are pretty deeply embedded in our thought process. Plus there aren't a whole lot of people out there trying to dispell those myths. Thanks for helping with that!
Sooo true!!
Love this - it's so true. Thinking back to me, in the early nineties with my once fortnightly copy of Just Seventeen hoping for some kind of help with my fluffy, wavy hair (and thinking I could turn it into the slippy, slinky, shiny straight hair of my bestie!). People are very lucky to have all this info at their fingertips now!
YES to a video where you explain claims / words to look for on products in order to get a different result than the one that's listed on them 🙌
will add to my list!! xx
@@AbbeyYung I agree that would be a great video. I'd love for you to include discussing products that are marketed for specific hair types. For instance, I see hair content creators with hair like mine (fine and straight) using masks and oils that seem to be marketed as being for thick or coily hair. Would love to know your thoughts on that.
That would be sooooooo good! :) This way, we would know better what the heck it is we're buying or looking for.
The air drying info is incredible! I’d love to see a vid on how to healthy blow dry and layer products and how to preserve it
My hair never grew past my shoulders. I air dried it and took good care of it. Then I started to blow dry my roots after every shower. And my hair grew long. So for my hair it was the best ting ever to blow dry the hair. And now its really long 😊
I’ll dry my hair a bit first then let the air dry most of it and. Stopped using a curling iron
@@susanjaderberg690did you use any heat protection before using? I might give this a try!
@@celestinac1105 I wish I used more heatprotection but I dident 😅 but it grew long and healthy anyway :-) But now I do use it :-)
Have you watched her hair wash routine videos? She kind of addresses those concerns. She let's her hair dry about 80% before she uses a blow dryer. Also microfiber towel. Then she puts her products in and uses a hair dryer. 😊
Thank you for this video! I’m a wavy haired girl that’s left behind a lot of the cgm “rules” because, quite frankly, those silicones and sulfates work for my hair! My hair is so much longer, healthier, and less prone to impossible-to-untangle knots than it ever was when I avoided using those.
Same🔥
Same! Which shampoos and conditioners do you like?
Thank you for commenting this! I haven’t used sulfates or silicones since like 2017, but am re-examining my hair care routine and see people I trust recommend products with sulfates and silicones. The silicones scare me a bit more than sulfates, but I would love to know more about products you like! I am a wavy haired girl too
@@maddielane3084 I totally understand the fear that comes with considering crossing back over to silicones and sulfates on your hair care journey. If you're looking for a bridge between silicones and not, I know that Manes by Mel has a video about silicones and talks about which ones are water soluble.
For the longest time I used the Smooth Moves conditioner and shampoo set by Not Your Mother's. The silicones in there are water soluble from what I remember. Unfortunately, none of my local stores carry it anymore, which is why I stopped using it.
Currently I am using the Odele Smoothing conditioner, which is pretty good. My hair likes amodimethicone, like Abbey's. I do not believe that is water soluble.
I'm still using up some smooth moves shampoo and I occasionally throw a cleansing shampoo (pantene volume) in the mix when my hair feels like it needs a reset. I've found the Kristin Ess softening line deep conditioner works pretty well - that's silicone free, as are most of her products.
These are all 4/5 products for me. Not perfect, but they get the job done pretty well. I'm stuck at the high end of the drugstore pricepoint, so I don't know about higher end products.
My holy grail products happen to be my leave-ins. I HIGHLY recommend the Odele leave-in conditioner. It softens my hair and keeps it tangle free. My only specialty splurge is the Verb curl creme - that also is fantastic. I've also been using the Kristin Ess softening line's subtle shine oil and that has worked pretty well so far.
I know personally that my hair and dimethiconol do not get along. If anything, I find my hair gets more tangly and frizzy when I've used that in the past (after a first wash or two that goes super well, it goes downhill for me pretty quickly.)
I hope this helps! Best wishes on your hair care journey.
@@user-hn2di5tb7l Hello there! Sorry I missed your comment. If you jump back on this thread, I replied to someone else who just asked the same question as you. Best wishes with your hair care journey!
Could you make a video about how you blow dry and style your hair without damage?
yes! we need it ❤
Hair fact that I wish I knew sooner is the difference between a clarifying shampoo and one that also has chelating properties. I only found out months after I moved into an area with very hard and also chlorinated water and my hair became an (seemingly) unfixable mess. Using a shampoo with not only clarifying but also chelating properties (in my case Joico K-Pak) once a week, followed by a nice hair mask, made all the difference :) In the long run, this also saved my sensitive scalp.
This is interesting! I have pretty hard water and I bought a shower head with a filter but use a gentle shampoo because I have a sensitive scalp and allergies so my shampoo definitely needs to be fragrance free, and I’ve found that harsh sulfates irritate it. A lot of products that are meant for sensitive scalps also don’t work for me because they contain ingredients such as salicylic acid that irritate my scalp, so I’ve been using a fragrance-free baby shampoo with a gentler kind of sulfate and shampooing twice and a bit more often, but I think I do still have some hard water buildup, I just don’t know of a shampoo that would eliminate it properly and not hurt my scalp in the process, it’s very frustrating. I really wish there were more options for people with allergies/sensitivity/skin conditions.
@@acarcarazzaHave you tried AG Hair Naturals Balance shampoo? Check out those ingredients. It’s supposed to be organic and chelating at the same time. I have a very sensitive + hard water too & this along w/ a shower filter has been able to do the job!
@@acarcarazza I feel you. Most stronger sulfates and acidic acid don't work for my scalp. It can be frustratingly difficult to find a good clarifying shampoo. Somehow living proofs detox shampoo works for me. I have no idea why but I'm not questioning it or looking somewhere else. I'm just grateful I found it because I really need a chelating shampoo where I live.
I 100% feel this. I moved to very hard well water and oh boy did my hair go downhill. I picked up the ion detox shampoo and using it twice a week keeps it in check
Loving the background
Just love how the books are grouped by color !
i was about to comment these exact words lol
I love the background as well. I am a lover of books also and I organize mine by height. Now I may group them by color. ❤
yay I love it too 😍
I zoomed in to read some of the titles.
I bought the Pantene volume + body shampoo and omg!! My hair feels so clean soft and light weight 😍😍😍
Would love a fragrance free hair care routine video for those of us with sensitive noses! More brands have fragrance free shampoo and conditioner than in the past but it’s hard to find other fragrance free products such as deep conditioners, bond repair, hair oils etc. options are very limited.
Loreal has an allergen free hair care line, but i use normal skin care on my scalp. I had reactions to masking fragrance in a few scalp care products and just started using my normal glycolic toner on my scalp instead of the glycolic scalp mask i got, it worked better and my hair stays shiny for longer. Vanicream and vaseline for everything. If you have severe allergies get vanicream for shampoo and conditioner and use vaseline in place of a normal hair grease( it is the main ingredient and you will notice baby hairs look fuller)
It's very hard to find and most of the fragrance free arent for my texture. I just started using SEEN at ulta. Its finally soft and mositurixing enough. I developed occupational allergies after a decade and theres very little I can use now anyways. Especially redken/pureology because I worked with them for years. I miss how my hair looked and felt with other brands but my skin is no longer wrecked and mohair has stopped falling out. But fragrance and SLS free that work well are hard to find. I've use a few shampoo and conditioner bars that's are ok
Okay, I don't usually comment but there ARE a few options. Sally's bondbar "Bonding Booster," Ouidad Unbreak my Bond drops, and Epres are all fragrance free bond repair options. The Ouidad drops you can add to any product you already own and don't react to, so it's on my to-try list. I would die for a fragrance free serum without nut oils or sunflower family ingredients, but no go so far. SEEN is the brand that does a fragrance free serum and blow dry cream, but they use bisabolol in pretty much everything, so if you get rashes from ragweed family stuff, skip that one. That's what's on my radar at least
@@j.o.4080 I'm allergic to the daisy family and contacted dermalogica about if they know where their bisabol is created, its not plant based its synthetic so I can use it. I also have the seen fragrance free products. I like the curl cream as a leave in for frizzy ends and the oil is very oily so you need a literal drop.
kristen ess has a great fragrance free line!
Being gentle!!! Yes. I had to switch hairstylists and when I was making a mental list of reasons why one of them was because she literally was ripping out handfuls of hair every appt (so every other month). She would brushed my wet hair out as soon as she rinsed off bleach 🙃 “so the toner is even” and she often would tease my hair before foiling so she was literally ripping through self made mats on my head it was painful and I saw her throw away handfuls of my hair. My hair got so thin over the 2 years she was my stylist and I’ve been with my new one for 6 months and after a good trim plus proper handling I can see my hair is starting to look denser.
I have fine blonde hair. The blowout professor recommended Redken’s volume injection set and it has been such a game changer for my hair.
Me too! A game changer
Where can I get this from? I’m in 🇬🇧
Same here!
Same. But I haaate the conditioner. It's not even close to hydrating enough for my brittle ends. I switched to redken ABC and grew 4" in a year ❤
@@MadamchiefOh yeah? I am glad to hear this😅, I tried for the first time only yesterday , based on the recommendation of the Blowout Professor.
I think the reason blow drying helps with grease is because it gives volume so the hair isn’t sitting as flat to the scalp, aka the source of the oil.
This!! And when you air dry, your hair is trying to maintain as much moisture as possible which can lead to greasy looking hair. more so when its fine and thin
🎯
Cant say it affects mine but then it dries really quickly so maybe that helps?
Please please do a video on a hair loss/ thinning related to hormones / post-pregnancy / perimenopause.... if you feel like you can speak to effective treatments as I KNOW if is super super complex.... scalp health ; ))) not length health! TY
Yes please!!
No idea if you were on prenatal, but sometimes ceasing taking them after pregnancy leads to an increase in shedding.
@@easilysunburntyeah the vitamin change is essentially irrelevant, it is the fluctuations in our hormones that cause the increase shedding. Mostly because the elevated progesterone results in reduced shedding during pregnancy.
On hair product application:
I have super thin and fine hair and little of it- I struggle with severe chronic illness and thus- MAJOR hair loss 😭
My hair density is very slim, and I actually find it HARD to use leave in conditioners that are sprays, because it sprays right through the gaps between my hair strands and around my strands (if that makes sense). All of my hair barely fills a small pony tail… so I often have to spray leave in conditioners into my HANDS and apply it that way, or else none of my hair gets coated 🙏🏻💗
I never liked sprays anyway- I’d rather apply with my hands and make sure I’m getting 360 degree coverage!!! 💗💗💗
Love you, Abbey!
You changed my hair and have helped me keep what I have left, healthy!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰
❤❤❤
I have very similar hair due to the exact reasons!! What shampoo and conditioner do you use? I’ve been so upset with all the hair loss 😭
I used a shampoo from Amazon, ‘Watermans Grow Me Shampoo’. I honestly really found this to help. I have also been taking biotin supplements, which again, I found to be helpful. ❤
Kerastase has the best shampoo for fine hair! The classic one is nice, if it’s fine but you have a lot of it try Elixir Ultime. Christophe Robin and Ferrano Rossetti Parma also have good options for fine hair.
Spray the leave in conditioner into your palms and rub your palms together apply to the ends rubbing them between the hands in sections, then use a wet brush or comb through mid length etc..
You have changed my hair in just 4 months. I’ve been doing everything you say and my hair went from damaged and breaking off so much I had to cut it above my shoulders, to now it’s healthier than it’s been in years and I get so many compliments on it. It’s literally grown 4 inches too without breaking off like it used to. Thank you!
What products are you using ?
for the longest time i’ve had a huge fear of drugstore products because of the fact that one time i used some that irritated my scalp and eventually lead to my hair falling out (i have a really sensitive scalp so thats why it got irritated i suppose), but overtime i eventually decided to try drugstore products again, so i used elvive which was my favorite as a child AND LET ME TELL YOU, THE CONDITIONER IS BETTER THAN MY 30$ CONDITIONER AT DETANGLING. And detangling has been my biggest problem for so long, so thank you so much abbey for reviewing the product and making me consider buying it, im looking forward to trying more of your recommendations so please keep posting lmao 😭❤
Hi Abby! I've been watching your content for awhile now. My hair has completely transformed since trying some products that you recommended. Currently, my wash day routine, for long curly-wavy hair...pantine volume to clarify, loreal bond treatment shampoo then the pretreatment. Then eva nyc hair mask. Outside shower, just started trying the john frieda leave-in conditioner and it's my new go to leave in conditioner. I'm 43 yrs old and finally have a handle on this hair thing! Ty!!!
Meee toooo! I was able to grow 4" in a year because of Abbey ❤
@Madamchief yay!!!! I forgot to mention the very 1st step...the ogx oil!
@@7951Aries hell yea! I got the mist because I have fine hairs. It has really helped me prevent blow dryer damage
Amazing!! I am so happy to hear this. And so glad that leave in works well for you! xx
Aries, how often do you wash your hair ? I have dry, wavy hair. Haven’t found my holy grail.
This is helpful. I've been watching you for a while and keep wanting to ask....How about us little older ladies (50) w/pixie gray hair? Hair is thin and since no pigment -- coarse texture and dry. Which is new for me. Scalp changed too, from oily to normal. Of course cabinet full of products for before gray that don't work now. I'm really having a difficult time. Can anyone help?
You’re absolutely AMAZING! I love how informative you are and how you give examples and reasons to support your thoughts on these topics. You have definitely helped me to better understand the hair world and I’ve seen so much improvement in my hair and scalp health since following along with your channel! Like you, I also have an oily scalp and your recommendations have helped tremendously! Great work👏❤
10:07 Abbey, I need to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this! My husband has seborrheic dermatitis and is struggling with excess sebum. He's treating his scalp and face accordingly, but it keeps coming back. After I read this excerpt I told him to try drying his hair and beard with a hair drier and I have to tell you it made a world of difference! For the past few days, his skin has only been improving and we do think it's this technique. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi having read your comments on the fact your hubby suffers with dermatitis, my boyfriend had the same problem I started buying a shampoo called HASK it’s great no chemicals natural products his scalp has stopped having problems. The shampoo range is on Amazon some shops sell it too Tescos Superdrug hope this helps too
That first tip is one I wish I’d heard years ago. Turns out my scalp needs a clarifying shampoo and my hair/ends need more moisture. I’ve been treating them the same for years and it’s led to scalp issues. Thanks for explaining that so well!
Can you do a video on brush care? How to wash them, how often? What to look for in a brush?
I have wavy/curly hair and my current hair are routine is all drugstore products, most of which are NOT marketed for curls. Turns out my dense fine hair loves loves loves the Pantene volumizing shampoo and conditioner- big yay for silicons and sulfates. I need a deep cleanse and a lovely lightweight conditioner to get the best out of my hair. Since I wash only 1-2 x a week, and want to remove excess product each time, all my washes are clarifying. My hair has never looked better.my previous routine cost me $$$$$ and the results were highly inconsistent. Thanks for your work and being one of the sane hair care educators on social media.
THANK YOU for taking an evidence & research based approach and being open minded to update your views. After watching your videos my hair is so much better, but I also realise how many influencers are giving wrong information..
Love this!!! Could you make a video on wavy/curly dry hair care? Or how to heal hair from keratin? Learning to love my curls and reverse damage!
Yes Abbey! PLEASE do that video on hair care ingredients!! 🙏
The air drying thing still doesn’t make sense to me. If the study says that hair loses sebum as the days go by between washes (and gets greasier in the process), but air drying makes the scalp lose sebum at a slower rate, then by this calculation, air drying makes hair LESS greasy than blowing…
These comments are also on the reel you made about the study, would appreciate any clarification! 🫶🏼
I watched this part of the video several times, because was confused by the exact same thing. I understood this section in the same way - if air drying, the hair gets greasy slower. I saw Abby sharing this section in one of her other videos as well. I would like to read a bit bigger section, to understand the context. Just this way, cut out, I get opposite impression of what she is saying in video.
@@sirtsupirtsu yes same! some people have looked into the whole study and still feel that the conclusion is the opposite of what abbey is saying. It is down to personal experience at the end of the day though
I think Abbey is confused. She states that her hair always looked “so greasy” the day after air drying but it didn’t happen when she blew dry her hair. According to the research she cited, that is the opposite effect of what would be expected.
Yeah cant say air drying has that issue, i would have thought blow drying would dry out the hair though that might be why it was less greasy or she used same products when airdrying which you wouldnt need....
I think she means loses it from the hair more slowly, therefore there is more sebum left on the scalp to make it greasy vs blow drying, that takes sebum away quicker making it less greasy?
Another great video Abbey! I have learned so much watching your channel. I would love some recommendations for dry scalp. Also I would love a video on menopausal changes in hair as I am dealing with that now.
Yay! So glad to hear that. Will add these to my list xx
💖 thank you. I'm 57 with wavy/curly hair. I didn't learn how to take care of my hair until 2020. This video really helped me realize I need to treat my scalp differently. My strands are coarse and dry. My scalp tends to get more oily. The thing is, this video showed me that I absolutely am over moisturizing my scalp with my shampoo for dry strands. 💡💖
thank you so much for the tips!! I love watching your videos! Also, your hair so gorgeous and healthy!🩷🤩
Thx for all you do Abbey! You are always so informative.
Even a video just explaining which ingredients do what so I have a better idea of what to look for at the store. Also one discussing short hair and how to apply products to it. I have a hard time getting my leave in conditioner on just my lengths and ends when I don’t really have that much length (and I have an oily scalp). For reference my hair is shoulder length.
Such a great video! Thank you, Abbey!
SO helpful to know this !! Especially what you shared about products & hair fall 💜💜 appreciate all that you do !!
Great information, thank you Abbey!! 💖
Loving all of your hair care videos..thanks so much for sharing all this info with us...I have oily scalp and dry strands and I tried a gentle mild shampoo from someone's recommendation and boy what a disaster..it barely cleaned my scalp but instead made it greasier and flatter..I definitely learned my lesson that scalp and rest of hair are not the same and might need different types of hair products.
Always so helpful!
Using products that are film forming has changed my hair for the better. So many curly lines this avoid this but using a deep cleansing shampoo with sulfates and a conditioner that provides a coating makes my hair look and feel the best. Breakage has stopped too. I have type 4 hair so this advice is universal (for me)
Yes please!!! Having a video with names of ingredients geared for certain scalp goals/ hair goals would be amazing!! Then I could have it pulled up and go to that particular section of the video when I’m shopping for a shampoo for that corresponding purpose. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 maybe if it were separated by like…. Ingredients for a particular purpose and have a couple examples / your favorites to show for it? Thank youuuuuu!!!
It’s so smart to learn the purpose of each ingredient to figure out what works best for you! I used to be a huge snob about drugstore shampoo, but my scalp is oily and I trust your recommendations… so I tried the Pantene Volume & Body Shampoo which includes SLS. It makes my hair look and feel amazing!! 🤩 Lesson learned! You can’t judge a shampoo by its price, but can judge it by its contents! (Pureology is still my #1, but Pantene is a close second, and it’s great to have a more affordable option in my rotation!) Thanks, Abbey! 🌸
Yay! I'm so glad you love xx
Which Pureology do you like?
@@sheilah.8137 the purple is my fav....LOVE IT...everything about it! Smells divine too
@@sheilah.8137I use Pureology Strength Cure. The shampoo and conditioner are both great!
@@sheilah.8137Pureology Strength Cure ❤
I always learn so much when I watch your videos. I look at it as “hair” education. I have made some changes over the last year as well as new products based on my hair type and your suggestions and everything so far has been very positive. Another change I will make starting today is discontinuing air drying my hair!
I’d love to hear your advice on the best way to secure thick hair during workouts.
such a good video as always!!
love to see content on your thoughts on using satin bonnets and their benefits! x
Air drying does not make MY hair greasy. Maybe it’s more of an individual thing. Probably should not be stated as fact, based on one published study.
She didnt state it as a fact
Yeah MY hair also doesn't get greasy at all when air drying and I also have oily scalp. Whether she meant it or not she did come off like it's a fact and a statement.
Love spending a part of my Sundays with you girl!!!
So so glad to have you here! xx
Abbey, I would love for you to do a video how you get your hair so shiny. Recently, it looks like you did a reset on your hair and it's been looking really shiny! I don't know if it's highlights, a mask, or treatment you've done. I really want my hair to be shinier. I try to take really good care of it, but sometimes when it comes to achieving the shine, I end up putting too much moisturizing products on the hair and that's not good either. I would love to know what you do to get your hair to look like that. And in general, you've been glowing.💖
My hair and scalp are so much more healthy since watching your videos! Would love a video on products that are great for dry scalp as well as products that gloss the hair. Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
Please, do a scalp care videos. I’m also confused about at home gloss + bonding + keratin + dry oil treatments.
Hi Abbey! Thank you for the video❤. What do you think of products for colored hair? Do they accually protect the color or could I use volumizing products instead?
I 100% agree with everything, but especially the last one. Although getting a good skincare routine can be hard, I figured that out years ago but still struggling to find the right haircare routine - after spending a lot more money than I've ever spent on skincare. It's a whole different ballgame! That's why your channel has been so so helpful, especially on haircare! Congrats on getting certified!!! That's amazing!!
Yesss exactly! and thank you so much xx
Your background is beautiful. Would LOVE to see some book reviews/ content from you! Great and informative video as always. 😊👍
I want to share my hair/scalp situation for those who maybe have a similar situation as me 🙌 I have fine hair and very sensitive scalp (+mild atopic dermatitis). My scalp used to almost always itch after washing and drying my hair, so long time ago i made a decision to go sulfate free. Eventually it helped a lot and i rarely had any scalp itchiness or dryness. Until now, not so long ago (since i did not experience any problems) i have decided to experiment with other popular shampoos that said to help others. So i have purchased a professional shampoo, and it ruined my hair so much… What happened was i used to go from washing my hair 1-2 times a week to washing it almost every day because it started to get super oily! I bought many other shampoos to help my (now to have become) oily scalp. All the clarifying shampoos, detox shampoos, clear -like shamoos that have no oils in them, NOTHING worked and my hair still stayed super oily. Spent so much money on these “profesional shampoos”, but the conclusion is they were too “strong” for my sensitive scalp that was actually dry 🙂
So i went back to sls free shampoos and instead of using “volumizing” or “clarifying” or anything that says to be for oily scalp, i switched those to more hydrating, moisturizing or restoring shampoos. I also oil my scalp before washing my hair with oils like jojoba or olive oil, i notice it helps to soothe my scalp and heal it.
Hope that whoever is reading this can find a solution to their hair problem. In other cases always try going to a professional: doctor, dermatologist, hairdresser if nothing helps. Listening to just influencers has ruined my hair (and i’ve tried almost everything!), but turns out i needed to stop for a moment and look differently at the situation ❤
P.S. I love Abbey, so there is no hard feelings to her videos! 😅 I still use her recommendations and some products she mentions but for shampoos i have already found my favourite that actually works for my scalp condition😊
Can I ask what shampoo you’re using? I switched to Pantene off Abbey’s recommendation and it’s been working really well… but my scalp has started crazy producing oil and I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been over using it (like I wash every other day as it is cause I workout), or what? I also have had some lifestyle changes recently so honestly could be a lot of things. I like to experiment
At the moment I'm still looking for the perfect shampoo, I'm trying some samples that my hairdresser gave me or asking drugstores for samples to try. In fact, my scalp loved and stayed very fresh when I used The Rituals, Rituals of Hammam line shampoo and conditioner, and I also used the Rituals Scalp Scrub, so i might consider buying that line, It’s also not crazy expensive like the other shampoos i used to buy, and i think It’s like 90% clean ingredients. Plus my scalp stayed cleaner for longer. I noticed that all shampoos that are clear looking do not work for me, so i try to go for milky/white shampoos that are considered more for dry scalp, moisturising or repairing, these are more gentle for my scalp. Hope this helps 💜
Loved this...need a part 2 pls!!!
What about if your hair is coloured? What shampoo would you use? I obviously use Color shampoo But what if your scalp needs a detox? You don’t want to strip my hair. What would you recommend?
As a fellow Minnesotan your hair color is LOVELY. I watched the salon video. The dimension of blonde is so nice!!!!!!
Such great info Abby. I am filling my adult daughter's Easter Basket with some of my favorite scalp and hair products! We have the same type of hair/scalp concerns.
Tip number one blew my mind. I’ve always reached for dry hair shampoo because my end are dry but I too have the oily scalp. I’ve literally been using the wrong shampoo! Thank you so much for telling us.
Very helpful video Abbey. Yes for more! ❤
Why is no one questioning If conditioner is actually bad to be applied near scalp ?? Like I want to apply it all over my hair including my head area so I don't get ugly flyaways or the hair seems rougher near scalp then ends. Like when I go to the salon they always apply it on scalp and give a massage etc.. would be awesome Abby if u can give ur opinion, since you're studying in that field.
I watched your shower day routine and I’ve been following religiously. It has been a MAJOR game changer for my hair! It’s better than ever ❤
For fine hair would you recommend avoiding rinse out conditioner for a rich leave in conditioner? I'll do that from time to time if I need to be in bed by a certain time but also need to shower.
Oh and also any time somebody demonizes drugstore haircare I often wonder if they're selling something (looking at you Monat people). I know plenty of high end products are worth the money but a lot of their marketing is just science washing.
What a thorough, helpful video, thank you!!!
Abbey ! Love your videos! So much that I featured your product recommendations in my last video lol
Thank you so much for making this video. It is very helpful and it makes sense. I have low porosity 1a hair. I thought the same way about air drying hair. My hair gets frizzy. I also have a smelly scalp after 2-3 days of not washing my hair. I think it is due wearing a microfiber towel on my head for 20-25mins. I am trying to do skincare and body care before hair care. I learned I need to shorten the time my hair is in the towel and blow dry my scalp sooner. I also learned about hair oiling. My hair ends would always get tons of split ends. Once I learned to use leave in conditioner after shower, use hair oil morning and night, and hair mask, it changed my hair! I no longer have all those awful split ends and it is slowly getting healthier.
I’m going to try that Pantene shampoo! I would love a video on the truth about Olaplex and bonding products…what are they, do they damage different types of hair , etc!
Loved this. Thank you for sharing! I had no idea about air drying making your hair look greasier faster. I definitely notice that, but didn’t know why.
I’m hoping you can do a video about the second half of your shower routine- conditioning and detangling. I have fine, thin hair that breaks easily and I feel like I lose so much hair in the shower! The best way I’ve found so far to detangle my hair is in the shower with a wide tooth comb while it has conditioner in it. I split my hair in half and start from the bottom and work my way up. I still lose a lot of hair, but less than if I try to detangle out of the shower. Would love your feedback! Thanks 😘
Ooh and maybe a video on how you style your hair? And what you ask form when you get haircuts? My hair is long like yours and I want it to look more like yours! 😍
I can't confirm blow-drying thing with fine hair. If I blow dry my fine hair, which is still dry within a quarter of an hour anyway, then they are much more broken. My hair is just Healthy since I didn't blow it out anymore.
Loving your hair color!
Thank you for continuing to inform your audience about the science and how important it is to educate ourselves.
Hi Abbey. Love your videos and contents. What are your thoughts on the Dove Bond Strengthening shampoo & conditioner compared to the Intensive Repair one?
Thank you for this video!
Hi Abbey! I was wondering based on this - would you avoid using the air wrap round brush, and focus on drying hair using the curlers?
I’d love an episode of ingredients to look for in shampoo, conditioner, mask etc etc to get great hair. Include the curly hair method.
Hi! I loved the video and I wanted to share some of my experience. On social media everyone is raving about squish to condish as a technique to apply conditioner and I used to do it on my 3a hair. I don’t like it, it doesn’t do much for my hair except getting conditioner on my scalp and even stripping off the henna I use to colour my hair. So I guess it’s true, everyone should try things that make sense and stick to the ones that work for them😊❤️
Love love lovee this video! I recently started my haircare routine, and why is it so hard finding great advice🙃 I really found this video helpful, and since i also have an oily scalp but dry ends could you please make a video of your favourite hair products?❤️
Can you do a full tutorial from start to finish on washing, conditioning the hair and styling the hair with your air wrap? I have chronic health problems so I had emergency neck surgery in December and I have a large cage in my neck so I am trying to do my hair in less time without struggling too much.
I bought the Dyson at full price & I can’t figure it out. My hair is long a little shorter than yours but I have curly frizzy hair (like Damon noodles) so I’m struggling on what I need for my hair & how to style it.
Thank you for all your knowledge! Been on your channel for many years now. ❤❤❤
Thinking about Pantene label (volume instead of clarifying), I remembered what my cousin (she is a hair stylist) told me years ago - the most voluminous (hope that's a word in English haha) hair is the cleanest hair, so most Volume shampoos are just very good at cleansing. For example, at that time I used Loreal Professionel Volume shampoo, which had salicylic acid among the ingredients to boost the cleansing properties. And as someone with oily scalp and long and completely flat hair, I really appreciate this combo haha
Thanks as always Abby xoxo
I have extremely oily hair and even with some tweaks and changes. To my hair care routine I’m still struggling. It’s nice to know all of the information on how to properly wash my oily scalp. As I now know it’s not that my hair is just oily and that is very likely an underlying health issue that is make my scalp and other areas so greasy/oily/sweaty.
What are your thoughts on using retinol shampoo for aging hair…Recommendations?
I started using that Pantene shampoo based on your experience and I love it!! I also have an oily scalp that needs a deep cleaning shampoo
yay!! so glad you love it
Question - does this mean that blowing out your hair on the regular will be damaging even if you use heat protection due to mechanical damage? There’s a lot of conflicting information online about whether you can heat style (blow dry your hair with a round brush) and still have healthy hair. Would LOVE your advice!
Heey Abbey 🩷 Can you please talk about build up on your ends? If we’re using oils, leave ins etc and have shampoos/conditioners leaving a film, do we at some point, need to be shampooing our ends? Sometimes it feels like my ends are so full of product but I’m reluctant to shampoo it!
The color coordinated books in the background made me subscribe immediately😂. Good video! Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful, thank you!
I have been using the Pantene Volume shampoo and conditioner for years now. I have purchased expensive shampoos and still come back to this brand. I also love I don’t have to pay extra for a pump. 🎉 Really enjoy the Healthy Sexy Tri-Wheat leave in for detangling my finer hair. Chef’s kiss. 💋
Also, for air drying, I’m with you on that. There are leave-in products that are heat activated so when you use them and you don’t blow dry, you are not activating their true potential and they can make your hair feel heavy and greasy. Always check if your products directions say to activate with heat.
Any good products to make your hair shiny?
I Absolutely Loved these hair tips!! Thank you for helping us understand how to best care for our hair to keep it healthiest!
Also…I have a MAJOR REQUEST! Pure curiosity here! Can you do a full review on the New Garnier Fructis Hair Filler + Bonding Line that is out…but I have such fine and thinner
hair and has become much more prone to hair loss. Still trying to figure out what the source is. But these types of products always grab my attention. Thanks so much!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
You have such beautiful hair so have always relied on your advice, and the condition of my hair has improved over the years. I remember i used to always think you had to use the same shampoo and conditioner and always bought the duos, but I always ran out of conditioner way faster. Good to know I don't have to use the same brand.
Hey Abby I noticed your books in the background could you give book recommendations or reviews on what you’ve already read? I’m a bookworm myself so I’d love to hear you talk about it 😊
Great video, thank you! 🥳
How many bonding products are necessary? Is just using a bond repair mask enough, or should I be using a bond repairing shampoo and conditioner also?
I’ve wondered about this too! I use a bunch of different bonding products (bc Abbey does 😂) and I’m not sure if that’s really necessary.
i think using just a bond repair mask is enough because again shampoo should just clean your scalp (as abby said best suited for your scalp) and a conditioner has the role of detangling and nourishing the hair...soo just a bond repair mask along with a good leave in conditioner and hair oil is just fine 👌🏻
Blowout Prof says shampoo and conditioner do zilch in terms of repair; it's marketing. Shampoos clean,, conditioner puts back moisture lost from the shampoo. That's it.
In my boook, a hair mask is enough. Olaplex released their pair of bond repair products for salons (1 and 2) and a home mask (3), which were enough. Then, since Olaplex became a thunderous success they got greed and released more products.
Other brands followed their lead.
I agree about the air drying!! My hair lasts/looks so much better throughout the week if I take the time to properly blow it out.
I just wanted to comment and say that after consistently listening to your advice regarding hair wash days, product recs, as well as other things you've talked about... 3 months in and I am seeing a lot of progress with my hair. I have baby hairs coming in along my hair line filling the areas I lost hair over the last few years. So happy to see it 🙂
which specific things helped with that? no idea what to search of hers?
@@seabreeze4559 So for me at least I have made several changes. I use the coconut oil on my mids and ends, silk/satin pillow cases, microfiber towel for my hair, I'm A LOT more careful now while I'm working with my wet hair, minimizing heat, I have been using clarifying shampoo 1-2 times a week, and I have been using the bond repair shampoo/conditioner. Another big thing I've added over the last 2 months is using a scalp oil. That one I had to do a lot of research on before hand since I have fine hair. I do the method of using it before I shower and leaving it on for like 2 hrs before washing it out. That has helped me a lot too.
Yayyyy Abbey content!! 😍♥️
Amaaaaazing video really 👏 such a good job explain everything omg loved it. Thank you!
So so many great pieces of wisdom here - loads clicking into place from this! The air drying greasiness, the difference between scalp and hair needs...I definitely need to stop trying to "train" my hair to go for once a week washes (sob!) because it really is giving me flaking.
This is why I cannot go more than 2 days without washing my hair.. it gets very dry and brittle the longer I go.... It's because my hair loses to much sebum between washes.
I would love a video comparing the K18 peptide clarifying shampoo vs the Ouai detox shampoo.
I've been using Ouai and I love it! I'm almost out though and I'm wondering if I should give K18 a try.
Hopefully this will be in a video soon, love your videos! Most of the products i use are off your recommendations. I've been using Pureology hydrate line, deep conditioner, and leave in for almost 3 years now and never want to stop. I also started using Ouai because of your videos. I just picked up Briogeo scalp revival shampoo to try it out. After buying I looked through your videos and found out you liked it and recommend it too! Trying it out tonight, hope I love it!
Thank you, Abbey! 😊
