Hi Abbey, Can you do a video about keratin bond extensions? I have been doing them for a year now because my hair didn’t want to grow after a certain length. I know they are quite damaging so I’m looking for the best way to revive and repair my hair after I take them out.... Xx
Do you know anything about oily skin care products or have a video for it?! Needing a routine for my skin.. the older I’m getting the more oily and breakout is happening.. thanks girl!!
Love the idea of the coconut miracle oil. Unfortunately I’m allergic to nuts so argan oil is impossible for me to use. Are there any coconut oil products you’d recommend? Thanks 😊
A while ago I saw a hairdresser explain how to apply leave in serum in my hair and have always used this technique… you spread it not only all the the palms of your hands, but you also get it in between your fingers… then you use your fingers like a wide tooth comb to comb the leave in into your hair. This also helps evenly distribute products into your hair. I’m going to try sectioning, especially when shampooing, but I think it will be easier if I shampoo in the kitchen sink instead of standing up in the shower.
I wash my hair outside in the garden. PLENTY of room and the water goes into the garden. I take a couple of gallons of filtered water in empty plastic bottles. All of my products, combs and micro towels are lined up and ready to use. It's relaxing and wonderful to be in nature.
I'm a hairdresser and I have quite literally shared the link to this video with dozens of clients to show them how to correctly care for their hair, especially my blondes!
I have been following since 10k and at first you helped me completely transform my skin. Now for the past few months, I have been implementing your haircare tips and I couldn’t be more excited about my progress. If you ever asked me to list all the products you influenced me to buy that I love, I think the list would not fit in one comment section 😂 Keep shining and thank for all you do!!
Me too! I started watching for tretinoin advice 😅 and now I stay for the hair advice!! Both my hair and skin are looking great now 😍… and now I could use weight loss advice…. 😝
My Native American grandmother, my entire world, just passed away March 6, and I chopped 20 inches off for her and buried it in her front yard. I am mourning the loss of her and my hair. Hair is huge in our culture and I miss my hair so much. I know I did this chop for her and our culture, but your video somehow popped up on my feed! I would love to use products to help my hair grow now.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Not only long I’m sure her and your hair is absolutely gorgeous. Does the hair represent strength and resilience? I don’t know know but would like to. So no disrespect meant by asking if it represented strength.
God bless you Jesus loves you John 3:16 when I lost my mom I eventually called on God in a true way and he literally healed my heartbreak and changed me he saved me from myself too Godbless you Jesus can help you , stay strong blessings 💕
My hair growth has always been extremely slow. It only grows about 0,5 cm (0,197 inches) a month. It’s also always been very thin and fragile. There have been many times in my youth where people asked me if I had cut my hair when in reality it either thinned out so much at the end that the ends were barely noticeable or just broke off noticeably 😢 As a result I was always very insecure about my hair and kept it short (like everyone in the family because we all have the same bad genetics). When I discovered your channel I thought: Let’s give it one more real try. Everyone in my family told me that we just had bad genetics and it wouldn’t work. Our hair just doesn’t grow long. I had a pixie cut back then with about 1 cm (0,39 inch) long hair. About 2 years later my hair is a bit longer than chin length and healthy 🥺 I know it doesn’t look like a lot for most people but I‘m incredibly proud that I managed to grow it that long and I‘m really hoping that I might even grow shoulder length hair in the next few years thanks to your tipps (and K18 😂) 💪 I‘m incredibly grateful for your channel!
My hair genetics ain't good either lol. It grows even slower... it took me 5 years to grow my hair from chin length to my boobs... meanwhile my friend did it in 9months lmao.
When your hair will not grow or is very thin, it could be vitamin deficiency. Did you know that Vitamin D, iodine, Vitamin B12, folat, Magnesium, calcium and iron is very important for hair growth? You should ask your doctor to check you levels of these, for iron it is ferritin. Iodine can only be checked in urine. Ferritin needs to be over 80 for the best hair. Its not enough to be good, because good is from 15 to 300, but for the hair it should be in the higher level. Its not included in normal blood work, you need to add all these and pay for them extra
@@aliceNürenb2991same here ...and few months back i had severe hair fall ..dint want to go for haircut...but had to as the ends looked terrible and very thin ....now i dont know how many years to get them back to same length😢
If you don't take a multi vitamin start it could help and make a big difference. Also by chance are you vegan? Vegans usually have the same problem with their hair so if you are you might need more supplements
Hi Abbey! One year and six days ago (but who’s counting) I had a little over six inches cut off my hair. For about three months, I was somewhat miserable; however, through-out this year, I have followed your recommendations. My hair is back, and the healthiest it has been in years. Now, I need to continue to resist the temptation of falling back into bad habits! 😂 Thank you, Abbey!
@@tatumreed31 -Hi! I use the OGX oil before every shampoo, blow dry VERY gently when hair is mostly dry, I’ve used bond repair products consistently, and I have SERIOUSLY limited heat styling. In addition, I stopped wearing any tight style that stresses my hair, and I became obsessively careful when brushing. Also, bleach is now used only on roots. I use color depositing glosses to simulate a little highlighting. I have almost no breakage and my hair looks pretty healthy. At this point, I have tried to eliminate the HIDEOUS habits involving heat, bleach, and hair stressing that have been my practice for a VERY long time.
As you’re going through your trichology program, I’d really love to hear your take on who could benefit from a visit to a trichologist and for whom it’d be a waste of time & money, provided we are talking about someone average who gets moderate breakage and hair fall that results in ends looking stringy. As well as any suggestions on how to sequence one’s at-home investigation and experiments, types of bloodwork one can do before visiting a trichologist, etc. Thank you!
You should do a drugstore version of best leave in conditioners next! That would be so helpful! Your hair advice has already helped me so much girl thank you! ♥️🥰🙏
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous, Abbey, and thanks to you, my hair is getting healthier all the time. I recently had about 5 inches cut off and found I like the shorter look! So even though I'm not going to grow super long hair, all your tips apply to anyone, no matter your hair length. Thank you! ❤
Great routine tips. I'd offer a friendly note to anyone considering coconut oil in their routine : just keep it off of your skin, as it is comedogenic and does clog pores, leading to skin irritations and breakouts. But it tends to be good for most porous, dry, damaged hair. If you don't care for the scent, opt for refined coconut oil, which has most of the scent removed through processing.
What's the point or major difference between using special "hair oil" with all the other ingredients, and just straight oil, like coconut or olive oil etc? Don't they both do just as good a job? And what's the real major difference between using a leave in conditioner, that you made by diluting a little bit of your normal conditioner with water, and spraying that on your hair, versus the expensive leave in conditioners?
it’s pretty complicated for products to clog pores. clogged pores have to do with the cells not shedding, and a product can’t really do that unless you’re not washing your face, and some other factors (: source - Dr Dray
Your hair is HAIR GOALS Abbey and ever since following your recommendations, my hair is the healthiest it’s been in my whole adulthood (I’m 29). My sister keeps saying “what happened to your hair?? HOW does it look so good?!”
My issue is that my hair is thin and it doesn’t matter if I do a curly girl method or let it air dry, it’s not full and I feel like no matter what I do, it’s never going to look good. I have followed your hair tips and they have somewhat worked, I just wish I had a different type of hair. :-/
Same here, but since doing heatless curls for three years I actually like my hair now! My whole life I've hated my thin blonde hair but now I like it. The curls give it movement and texture so it's not so flat to my head. Also I don't have to do my hair is the morning this way and it keeps my hair healthy
@@laurah1444 have u noticed hair growth ? i have thin & fine hair and can never get it to grow past a certain length without it looking like trash 😭 i just recently stopped all heat styling so i hope that helps me !
I am so oily with thin hair that I have to wash my hair every morning to not be a grease pit by noon. Doesn’t really allow for me to use the heatless curlers since my hair is wet when I start work at 7am :( I wish I could
I’m going to try those 💕💕 I had bleached my hair with minimal damage for years and then went to a new stylist when I was on vacation and she burned my hair off (she said she was a blonde specialist) So it’s been a journey 1.5 years later my hair is in pretty good shape now finally but I want to take it to the next step to having beautiful healthy long hair ❤
Love your videos! I've noticed lately your audio has a lot more feedback/reverb than before. Have you changed equipment/settings? Also, if you wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week, would you use the Redkin 15% citric acid product every time you wash or just once a week? Have a wonderful day!
I have followed Abby’s suggestions for a while and my hair has never been so smooth and soft. HOWEVER I have lost half my hair due to chronic illness, stress and hormonal changes. Luckily my thyroid is fine it’s just…my overall health and life. Short of medication I wish there was a way to keep my hair. Luckily it grows back after the stressful times/worst of it, but 3-4 times a year I’m shedding like a collie dog in the summer.
Same girl. I was in the hospital in spring and got in remission by July and my hair has been shedding a ton since August. I was on iv steroids and then oral prednisone for months. I hate brushing my hair and seeing all of it in there. Prayers to you for healing.
I was so happy to find you on TikTok!! All the tips and tricks that I have learned from you I haven’t really seen a difference in my hair already and I want to thank you for sharing! One thing that has really helped is the coconut oil treatment, but also sectioning off my hair when I am applying any kind of product. It just makes sense to do that and it’s really helped to even just clean my hair and make it feel really good when I am Shampooing.
This was helpful and encouraging! I recently decided I’m not doing anymore chops, only trims, at least until 50 (I’m 46 now) and I’m excited to finally grow out some healthy hair after years of henna, then big chops when my kids were babies. Positive if I take good care of it, it can look healthy even as it ages.
Abbey-is this routine good for naturally curly hair (not tight curls) or is this better for straight hair like yours? Your hair looks so healthy & stunning
I saw someone doing a hack for a tight ponytail to allow the effect without the same risk of damage. Section of the front of your hair and then put the remaining bulk of your hair into a regular ponytail then take the front section and pull it into a ponytail around the first one and secure with a second tie around both. This means you can make it fairly tight but with the weight of your hair being supported by a regular ponytail then the weight isn't being put through the delicate hairline.
I have been using k18 for almost 3 months now and I noticed a big difference in my hair. But lately (last two weeks) my hair is getting frizzy, I'm seeing noticeable damage, and even after styling my hair with heat, it still gets buffy after a while. I feel so disappointed... but I think this is because I style my hair almost daily, I definitely style my hair a lot without a heat protector and I think I need to use more products so I'm going to test some of the products you recommended. Thank you for the amazing video ❤️
ehy Abbey! thank you so much for the effort and care you put in every content, really appreciate it. unfortunately i’m from italy and the majority of the products you review is not available here in europe. i’d love to see a video where you give us an “europe-available haircare routine”!i think it would also be such a great idea for a video! sending lots of love💓💓
This video is gold. My hair is starting to look so much better and its because of you and these amazing recommendations! Thank you so much for all your hard work.
I just used K18 today for the first time after seeing you talk about it. I know it’s one use… but my hair feels AMAZING! I cannot wait to see the cummulative affect!!! 😍😍😍
I have total hair envy! Oh my gosh 😮 your hair is fabulous! I have fine thin hair but still want it to be the healthiest it can be. Just started watching your videos and I love them!
I always thought, this was knowledge that's already settled in anybody's heads, but I realized over the years, that it's not the case, so thank you for spreading it! I am so glad to have a mother who started teaching me these as soon as possible and I always had long, shiny, healthy hair as a kid and teen until I really wanted to experiment with haircuts and color. That was a phase - one that lasted 21 years and is just about to end now because I wanna grow my hair out again. I am 36 and tired of the short, bleached hair. I already transitioned to a shade that's at least the same value (level of depth) than my own color so I don't have to touch it up that often and it wasn't a breeze to get there. My hair only is a level 6, but trust me, bleach damaged hair doesn't want to keep darker pigments in. But it's worth it, my hair is growing really nicely and also pretty fast. My hair is also on the finer side and probably not as dense as yours, but I have naturally wavy hair (which is something I figured out in my late 20's, didn't know it before) with a lot of visual volume, so I don't mind that. I hope a lot of people watch (and already watched) this video and take your advice because it's really good. I have learned a few techniques to apply product to make it work better for my hair texture and it did change everything for me, really.
You’re the best Abbey! Thanks for cutting through all the BS online about haircare and giving us all the facts 👏🏻 Can you make a video recommending heat protectants for dry styling? I am always leery of the efficacy of heat protectants for straightening/curling. Thanks!
Dear Abbey, thanks for your video and the guidelines! Please keep them going. I had a major chop myself a couple of years ago due to the same reason, and I feel I could already be sharing my knowledge like you do 😅 yet there’s always some new tips to learn. Thanks again!
Hi Abbey, Could you please talk to the effects about hard water vs soft water? I'm doing all the right things, bond treatments, little to no heat, silk pillow case, but by the time I'm up for my next regular hair cut, the hair in my drain is same same but different to the hair on my head. I'm in the process of getting a shower head filter, but this might be help a bunch of other hard watered babes who are having the same challenges as me. Thank you for your research and knowlege, you've taught me a lot!
I have hard water and got a water softener. They are pricy. If you cannot afford one, the shower heads that filter the hard water work great too. I also use a shampoo once per week that removes the minerals from the hard water. My hair was very damaged and I had breaking all around the crown of my head. They are slowly growing out.
I am 55 years old and have had hair loss that runs in my family so I use Monoxidil. My hair has grown back but it is so unruly. I had a bad haircut and am trying to grow it out. My hair is in a bad state right now and I just want to love it again! I know you said you only wash your hair once a week, but does that mean you don't get it wet in the shower the other times? I struggle with not washing my hair every day.
Did your hair texture change with menopause/permenopause? I'm getting much closer to that life change. I remember my mom's hair going from lightly wavey to kinky curly - but not all of it, just random strands. She loved using Friz Ease (which may just be a hair oil?.) I have thin fine hair with flyaway. For that, my niece recommended I use Biosilk's Silk Therapy Original. It's a hair oil, and just a drop or two rubbed in my top layer of dry hair tames those flyaway without making my hair greasy. As for Abby's washes, I know she used to wash 1 time per week, but I think she has changed that - or at least changed her recommendation for other people - farely recently. I think she now says do whatever works best for you. You may want to search for her most recent videos on that. Good luck. And, I'm glad the minoxidil is working for you 😊
She changed it to washing it twice a week. Im pretty sure she keeps it dry for other showers though because the way she talks about styling and using heat protectants that are for dry hair and talks about how water swells the hair and makes it more fragile….
@@kathysharp7551I have naturally curly hair and use both of the products you mentioned when I straighten it. I think it they work well 😊 Maybe those will help you @Julie When my hairs curly I like leave in conditioner and mousse.
My question is will you have to keep doing all these steps forever to maintain healthy hair or can you cut some of these steps once your hair is repaired and healthy?
Glad you mentioned waiting until you're hair is more than 3/4 dry before using any blow dry brush. I feel like they are advertized as blow dryers which is not what they are really intended for. There is no reason to go in with one of those bad boys with sopping wet hair....frankly you shouldn't do that with any hot hair styler asidss from rough drying with an actual blow dryer. Ty for the amazing and honest content. Your hair is stunning 💕
Can’t thank you enough for your tips, they are slowly helping my hair recover … have to chuckle at your sectioning as one of your sections is about the entirety of the hairs on my head haha I have such fine hair…you have the most beautiful thick hair, and thank you again for all the invaluable information you share ❤
Abbey, you are such an inspiration!♥ Every time I have doubts about sharing my WIP results and tips and tricks at work and I want to wait till I complete something till it’s perfect (my work couldn’t be further away from what you do 😆), I always think about you and how much easier it is for us to follow you along on your journey (growing out healthier hair, testing all products, now getting a trichology certification)! Thank you for your sincerity and hard work! Much love from Canada ♥ I have a few questions I’ll be asking in separate comments.
Active duty Marine here-for the past 4 years I’ve worn my hair short so that I don’t have to damage it by putting it in a tight bun. But I’m over it, and want to have some length for once. Any tips on how to do that when I am required to pull my hair back but not allowed to use claw clips or scrunchies?
I just started my hair growth journey. It's already relatively long (almost waist-length at my back), but I want it longer 😅. The most challenging part has been cutting out heat. I just came to terms with the fact that I need to stop using my curling wand last week. I have too many split ends and seem to just get more everytime I use it. Also, wearing it up when working has been rough as well, but it's constantly knotting at the nape of my neck to where the collar of my shirt is. Finding protective styles that look okay on me has been a challenge. I know you have a video on protective styles for sleep, but one for hairstyles during the day and when out in public would be amazing!
@@louisestevenson1038I get mine done every 12 weeks. Any more and it just stays same length. Although recently I had 3 inch off and it’s so much better shiny & manageable
A hair dresser told me that the olaplex number 3 should never be used alone, we need to apply the number 0 first before on dry hair let it 10 minutes then put the 3 wait again 10 minutes. What are your thoughts on this one ? Thank you so much
Hi Abbey, maybe a stupid question but do you first squeeze excess water out of your hair with a microfiber towel and then use leave in or do you spray leave in on soaking wet hair and then go to drying your hair? Love the tips! I got the k18 and coconut oil you recommended 😊
I think it depends on hair texture and porosity too. Coconut is a very penetrating oil. Jojoba is not very penetrating. Oils have unique properties. Combinations can be more effective
🙄 let ppl use what’s best for their hair. My hair does the best with coconut oil. I wasted so much money and time trying other oils and I ended going back to coconut.
I hate hair in my face and I love sleek strict ponytails and braids. But unfortunately pulling hair back too strong is harmful. Since I use Olaplex instead of Kérastase, my hair is so silky that my silk scrunchies slip out easily. Therefore, I would like some detailed instructions on how to create loose buns and braids by using silk scrunchies or pinned back hairstyles with hair clips. Gladly also to let the hair air dry. I only rough dry my roots on a cold setting, then let air dry tossed with silk scrunchies. I would like to know how to air dry and creating waves without heat, brushes or curlers. Thanks for the help in advance.
She has a video from September 2022 where she films the process at the salon. It's very informative! It's called "How My Hair Stylist Colors my Warm Blonde Hair." Hope that helps 😊
I use her liason bond shampoo and conditioner and it works amazing. Plus you get 50% off so you can get them both for under $30. In between having none left of the get mission products? I started using the loreal bond strengthening/ repair pre shampoo concentrate, shampoo, and conditioner. I love them and you can't beat the price! My hair is healthier and grows faster, and promotes hair regrowth. My suggestions for a cheaper budget friendly option. Which the loreal bond shampoo and conditioner is recommended by Abbey.
Thankyou for teaching me all about hair care I really had no clue how to look after my hair for many years until I met you. I now know about serums, conditioners, bonds , masks. and to not always wear my hair up in pony tails I’m wearing a low pony and put it in a clip. I stopped dyeing my hair blonde every few months eith box hair drys from Claro. I never heard of high rise toning hair. I haven’t dyed my hair for 4 months now. I take much better of my hair I stopped using my straightener and curling iron. Never heard of heat protectant til you mentioned it. I honestly am grateful I met you and you have gorgeous hair.
I need to see your hair Coloring video. I want to do the same technique to my hair. You have beautiful hair. Want my hair the same color as yours. Please share your detailed video. Thank you
I just started using this oil based on your recommendation and I absolutely love it!!! I also adore the smell of it and I don’t even like coconut smell, but this is a clean and almost perfumey smell. Anyway, it’s amazing. I have extremely dry menopausal hair that has completely changed textures on me! I am applying a very light amount on the days I don’t wash and sleep with it overnight and the next day, I just spray a little dry shampoo at my roots and it’s made such a difference. I apply a heavier amount before shampooing on the days I wash. Anyone who says all oils are the same are misinformed. Thank you for the suggestion. My hair thanks you too!😝
Im about to embark on a hair growth journey. I went from extremely processed silver hair back to my natural roots. Now to let go of those tools and give my hair the love it needs. Thank you for all the tips. ❤
I wonder if in your research you have come across research or good information about how hair's needs might change as it goes grey? I'm 39 and I don't mind the greys at all but I have noticed their texture seems to be coarser and my hair has gone from being stick straight to a little bit wavy. I would love to know if the same rules about protecting and repairing damage apply, or if greys have extra needs to keep them looking their best.
Oil treatment works miracles when you also wrap the hair in a steamy towel. So oil, wet towel in the microwave, wrap and rewarm as necessary. It makes a huge difference!
Can i ask how often you were getting foils done? Were they just doing your regrowth? Would love to see a video on your colouring routine now (if it has changed). Love your videos! 🙂
Thank you so much! I am enjoying your content and truly appreciate it. I am in remission from a rare small intestinal cancer during 2023. I didn’t lose my hair from chemo. However, it thinned out at the three month mark after a very stressful surgery and rough recovery, including malnutrition. I’ve regained my weight, am optimizing my nutrition, and my hair is growing in nicely at my scalp. However, I have very wispy ends, and extremely fine miniaturized hair. I am looking at your hair routine closely and being much more gentle with my hair. I also just ordered K18 and think based on what I read that it will be a significant help. I’ll keep you posted! Thank you so much again!
Do you still get your hair coloured? Im brunette and have high lights - what should I use to keep my hair healthy or is it not possible ? Thank you so much
Your hair is so gorgeous and your videos are really informative! I lost all my hair this year and was completely bald as I have breast cancer and chemotherapy got rid of all the hair on my body (I'm not sad about any of the hair neck down its been amazing not shaving 😂) but I am sad about my head hair and my eyelashes and eyebrows. I'm currently at the stage of regrowth with my hair where it's probably about an inch long and I finally have no bald patches. Do you have any recommendations to help my hair grow quicker and healthy? Wearing wigs all the time it gets so hot and uncomfortable and I can't wait to just be able to have hair long enough to not wear wigs xx
What’s funny is that when I used the Revlon and Drybar brush hairdryers, my hair didn’t seem that damaged compared to the damage that I’ve seen with the Shark flex style brush attachment. And back when I was using the Revlon brush, that was long before my hair care journey started, and I was using that on completely wet hair!😂 I think there’s something about the Shark brush attachment that pulls on the hair much more than those other two did, at least in my experience. It was something I noticed upon first using the Shark, and I was doing things as carefully as possible with heat styling by the time I got that product
abbey!!!! my last haircut was this summer and i have ZERO split ends which is unheard of for me. i owe it all to your haircare recommendations. thank you forever and ever ♥️🫡
Ironically, my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been, and I get my roots bleached every 6-8 weeks. My hair is light to begin with, so maybe that’s why? I had an outbreak of scalp psoriasis right after a shit ton of my hair fell out after I went to my husband’s friend’s wife (who is a hairdresser!) and she did a color remover thing on my hair and sent me home in a hair mask. As I was washing my hair out, clumps and clumps of hair were coming out. I lost so much hair and then on top of that, BAM! Scalp psoriasis. My hair was so long and healthy and I’ve been recovering from that for a few years. My hair is finally at a very healthy stage again, but I know I’m doing some things I shouldn’t, especially after watching your channel!
Hi abbey I have been following your tips for skin care and I have loved them 🤩 I’m a little confused on this video, do you do all this in one was day? 1. Pre shower oil treatment 2. Wash hair with shampoo 3. Then apply k18 4. you then shampoo your hair with redken acidic shampoo right after k18 5. Condition (it didn’t say what conditioner) 6. Living proof leave in conditioner Can you correct me if that was right please🙏?
I am definetely going to try adding some of these tips from your routine Abbey, my hair is about currently at your 2022 mid length, oh probably a little shorter, ive had to grow out henna, lord what an ordeal, and also find a hair stylist to work with my progress, its been such a long road but I'm really excited to think that probably by next year my hair is going to be long and luxurious again, its really exciting, ya definetely going to be adding some of your hair tips here and researching some of your other hair videos you mentioned, thank you Abbey!
Hi Abbey, I love your videos so much and feel like my hair is already looking better! I have a question because you mentioned using redken as a hair mask- don't you put k18 in on damp hair after shampooing and aren't supposed to condition or rinse it? Do you just apply k18, wait a few mins, and then also apply the redken on top too? Is any of it rinsed out?
In my experience, K18 leaves the hair extremely tangled. So I was really glad when Abbey made a video a while back explaining that she reached out to the brand, and they confirmed that it was okay to follow up with a conditioner or a mask after leaving K18 on for 4 minutes. My friends who were using K18 were skeptical, too, pretty much saying that this was washing almost 100 CAD down the drain 😬Hopefully, this is not the case. Re: rinsing out Redken - in their instructions, it's meant to be rinsed out, and my understanding was that Abbey rinses it out too.
I have watched almost every hair care video you have put out and I love them. I just wanted to ask if you could make one about permanent keratin treatments, the ones you do on salon. I know you have talked a lot about keratin treatment such as k18, but I would be so happy if you made a video about a salon treatments since you are the only hair care influencer I trust, you have really helped me so much
I have been using a mix of drugstore and bond repair products you recommended and following your general guidelines. I felt for so long it wasn’t working much - I have tried for years to grow my hair past my chest - but put my hair in braids the other day and realized it went down to my waist. 😅 I have extremely dry, high porosity hair despite never dying or heating it. I remember begging for a perm in middle school, and it fell out in a couple of months. I dyed my hair black once about ten years ago, and that fell out too. That was the last time I tried doing anything to it. Is it just my genetics? I’ve always preferred my hair long, but it is a little sad that it always looks so damaged. I’m going to keep growing it anyways though. 😊
I have fine thin hair and struggle with products constantly weighing my hair down. Even when I double wash, do a scalp tx, and blow dry my hair. I make sure to clean my brushes to avoid residue and build up. I cut my hair off to chin length approximately 4 months ago and wanted to hear any tips you might have for that length and hair type.
Hello, very informative video and definitely a much better hair highlights colour. Can you please list the shampoo that you currently use now after the healing process? Thanks
I bought that coconut oil and use as a pre shampoo treatment. My hair looks so much better ! My hair has always grown 😆 slow. I'm so thankful for you 😊
hey,Abbey. At 4:33 you start telling how you shampoo your hair and use k18, but on the label they say that you need to wait 4 minutes and not rinse out k18. I get it right? and after that you use Redken?
hi abbey!! Biolage came out with a brand new bond line just like Redken's. would love if you did a review on it because i really want to buy the line since i love Redken's so much. the ingredients are similar but theres some different too! Biolage one contains coconut oil, Redken's doesnt!
Okay serious question. We let the hair airdry for about 80%, however, when we apply heat protectant spray, or maybe products like Color WOW after that the hair gets back to being very wet. Do I wait for these to dry a bit as well, or just go in, but if so wouldnt that again make them a bit fragile since they are wet??
Depends on your hair type. If you have curly or wavy hair, you'll need to manipulate the hair before it dries or else you'll need more heat like a curling iron or flat iron. So if you're only styling with a blow drier you'll need to use on damp hair after you've applied your heat protectant cream/spray. If using a flat iron/curling iron then you're styling already dry hair and will want to brush the heat protectant through each section of hair. As Abbey mentioned in her video there are aerosol heat protectants which would be more dry on the hair versus a water based heat protectant that would make your hair wet again. Just make sure the heat protectant you're using correlates to the heat tool you're using as not all heat protectants work the same.
I have only just learned how to properly apply a leave in and I agree - completely underrated. My hair has never felt so good even with oxg coconut oil I use that too. Leave in goes on straight after a shower, before anything else. Amazing.
Sorry for the audio issues the last few videos! When I moved my filming setup my mic settings got messed up - it'll be fixed in a few more videos!
Hi Abbey,
Can you do a video about keratin bond extensions?
I have been doing them for a year now because my hair didn’t want to grow after a certain length.
I know they are quite damaging so I’m looking for the best way to revive and repair my hair after I take them out....
Xx
Do you know anything about oily skin care products or have a video for it?! Needing a routine for my skin.. the older I’m getting the more oily and breakout is happening.. thanks girl!!
So helpful for my hair journey. This video also had good tips for hair growth, and under $10!

Love the idea of the coconut miracle oil. Unfortunately I’m allergic to nuts so argan oil is impossible for me to use. Are there any coconut oil products you’d recommend? Thanks 😊
I really like your hair and everything else too.
A while ago I saw a hairdresser explain how to apply leave in serum in my hair and have always used this technique… you spread it not only all the the palms of your hands, but you also get it in between your fingers… then you use your fingers like a wide tooth comb to comb the leave in into your hair. This also helps evenly distribute products into your hair. I’m going to try sectioning, especially when shampooing, but I think it will be easier if I shampoo in the kitchen sink instead of standing up in the shower.
I would flood my kitchen trying to wash my hair there. How do you do it?
Great tip! Yes I also flip my head upside down when I shower- helps a lot
if your shower is big enough you can sit on the floor
@@moonbyeol9130 my kitchen sink is deep and the faucet has a hose type of attachment. In the past I’ve done it kneeling at the bathtub.
I wash my hair outside in the garden. PLENTY of room and the water goes into the garden.
I take a couple of gallons of filtered water in empty plastic bottles. All of my products, combs and micro towels are lined up and ready to use. It's relaxing and wonderful to be in nature.
I'm a hairdresser and I have quite literally shared the link to this video with dozens of clients to show them how to correctly care for their hair, especially my blondes!
Such a compliment
I agree, your overall look is so much more flattering with your darker blonde. So much softer, gives your skin warmth and life. Love it!
If only I had enough hair to worry about sectioning 😂
Lols same!!!
Sameeeee😂😂😂😂
YUPPPP!! lmao
Hahahah same
Same. I don't think I have half the hair she's got on her head 😅
I have been following since 10k and at first you helped me completely transform my skin. Now for the past few months, I have been implementing your haircare tips and I couldn’t be more excited about my progress. If you ever asked me to list all the products you influenced me to buy that I love, I think the list would not fit in one comment section 😂 Keep shining and thank for all you do!!
Oh my gosh 10,000! Thank you so much for continuing to watch my videos 💗I'm so happy to hear I've helped!
Me too! I started watching for tretinoin advice 😅 and now I stay for the hair advice!! Both my hair and skin are looking great now 😍… and now I could use weight loss advice…. 😝

My Native American grandmother, my entire world, just passed away March 6, and I chopped 20 inches off for her and buried it in her front yard. I am mourning the loss of her and my hair. Hair is huge in our culture and I miss my hair so much. I know I did this chop for her and our culture, but your video somehow popped up on my feed! I would love to use products to help my hair grow now.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Not only long I’m sure her and your hair is absolutely gorgeous. Does the hair represent strength and resilience? I don’t know know but would like to. So no disrespect meant by asking if it represented strength.
Our hair is God's glory to women
I’m sorry for the loss of your grandmother and am sure she is honored by your actions. Your new hair will forever be a tribute to her as well.
@@jcs1090thank you so much for your words.. that means a lot💗
God bless you Jesus loves you John 3:16 when I lost my mom I eventually called on God in a true way and he literally healed my heartbreak and changed me he saved me from myself too Godbless you Jesus can help you , stay strong blessings 💕
My hair growth has always been extremely slow. It only grows about 0,5 cm (0,197 inches) a month. It’s also always been very thin and fragile. There have been many times in my youth where people asked me if I had cut my hair when in reality it either thinned out so much at the end that the ends were barely noticeable or just broke off noticeably 😢
As a result I was always very insecure about my hair and kept it short (like everyone in the family because we all have the same bad genetics).
When I discovered your channel I thought: Let’s give it one more real try. Everyone in my family told me that we just had bad genetics and it wouldn’t work. Our hair just doesn’t grow long.
I had a pixie cut back then with about 1 cm (0,39 inch) long hair.
About 2 years later my hair is a bit longer than chin length and healthy 🥺
I know it doesn’t look like a lot for most people but I‘m incredibly proud that I managed to grow it that long and I‘m really hoping that I might even grow shoulder length hair in the next few years thanks to your tipps (and K18 😂) 💪
I‘m incredibly grateful for your channel!
My hair genetics ain't good either lol. It grows even slower... it took me 5 years to grow my hair from chin length to my boobs... meanwhile my friend did it in 9months lmao.
When your hair will not grow or is very thin, it could be vitamin deficiency. Did you know that Vitamin D, iodine, Vitamin B12, folat, Magnesium, calcium and iron is very important for hair growth?
You should ask your doctor to check you levels of these, for iron it is ferritin. Iodine can only be checked in urine.
Ferritin needs to be over 80 for the best hair. Its not enough to be good, because good is from 15 to 300, but for the hair it should be in the higher level.
Its not included in normal blood work, you need to add all these and pay for them extra
@@aliceNürenb2991same here ...and few months back i had severe hair fall ..dint want to go for haircut...but had to as the ends looked terrible and very thin ....now i dont know how many years to get them back to same length😢
What aside from k18 helped you the most?
If you don't take a multi vitamin start it could help and make a big difference. Also by chance are you vegan? Vegans usually have the same problem with their hair so if you are you might need more supplements
Hi Abbey! One year and six days ago (but who’s counting) I had a little over six inches cut off my hair. For about three months, I was somewhat miserable; however, through-out this year, I have followed your recommendations. My hair is back, and the healthiest it has been in years. Now, I need to continue to resist the temptation of falling back into bad habits! 😂 Thank you, Abbey!
Wowww this makes me so happy to hear!
Your hair is beautiful! I love the color.
@@JustAnAverageWoman69 thank you!!!
What recommendations did you follow? If you don’t mind me asking
@@tatumreed31 -Hi! I use the OGX oil before every shampoo, blow dry VERY gently when hair is mostly dry, I’ve used bond repair products consistently, and I have SERIOUSLY limited heat styling. In addition, I stopped wearing any tight style that stresses my hair, and I became obsessively careful when brushing. Also, bleach is now used only on roots. I use color depositing glosses to simulate a little highlighting. I have almost no breakage and my hair looks pretty healthy. At this point, I have tried to eliminate the HIDEOUS habits involving heat, bleach, and hair stressing that have been my practice for a VERY long time.
Really love your new hair colour, looks so warm and pretty.
As you’re going through your trichology program, I’d really love to hear your take on who could benefit from a visit to a trichologist and for whom it’d be a waste of time & money, provided we are talking about someone average who gets moderate breakage and hair fall that results in ends looking stringy. As well as any suggestions on how to sequence one’s at-home investigation and experiments, types of bloodwork one can do before visiting a trichologist, etc. Thank you!
You should do a drugstore version of best leave in conditioners next! That would be so helpful! Your hair advice has already helped me so much girl thank you! ♥️🥰🙏
i definitely recommend shea moisture!
super late but garnier hair food is my fav!! i also like loreal dream lengths no haircut cream :))
I second L’Oréal No Haircut cream
wait i have a different recommendation now lmao i like the kristin ess leave in conditioner spray
That OGX serum is pure gold. Absolutely love it & it’s not expensive. I find it much better than so many high end serums ❤❤
Really? That’s a good brand?
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous, Abbey, and thanks to you, my hair is getting healthier all the time. I recently had about 5 inches cut off and found I like the shorter look! So even though I'm not going to grow super long hair, all your tips apply to anyone, no matter your hair length. Thank you! ❤
Wow I'm so happy to hear that!! You're so welcome ❤

Great routine tips. I'd offer a friendly note to anyone considering coconut oil in their routine : just keep it off of your skin, as it is comedogenic and does clog pores, leading to skin irritations and breakouts. But it tends to be good for most porous, dry, damaged hair. If you don't care for the scent, opt for refined coconut oil, which has most of the scent removed through processing.
I use coconut oil to remove my makeup and then wash my face. It’s perfectly fine for me.
I have low porosity hair so coconut oil just weighs my shit down flat to the point it looks oily. I avoid it
What's the point or major difference between using special "hair oil" with all the other ingredients, and just straight oil, like coconut or olive oil etc? Don't they both do just as good a job? And what's the real major difference between using a leave in conditioner, that you made by diluting a little bit of your normal conditioner with water, and spraying that on your hair, versus the expensive leave in conditioners?
it’s pretty complicated for products to clog pores. clogged pores have to do with the cells not shedding, and a product can’t really do that unless you’re not washing your face, and some other factors (: source - Dr Dray
@@thekennekLook up hair felting. I don't quite understand it to explain it.
Your hair is HAIR GOALS Abbey and ever since following your recommendations, my hair is the healthiest it’s been in my whole adulthood (I’m 29). My sister keeps saying “what happened to your hair?? HOW does it look so good?!”
My issue is that my hair is thin and it doesn’t matter if I do a curly girl method or let it air dry, it’s not full and I feel like no matter what I do, it’s never going to look good. I have followed your hair tips and they have somewhat worked, I just wish I had a different type of hair. :-/
Same here, but since doing heatless curls for three years I actually like my hair now! My whole life I've hated my thin blonde hair but now I like it. The curls give it movement and texture so it's not so flat to my head. Also I don't have to do my hair is the morning this way and it keeps my hair healthy
@@laurah1444 have u noticed hair growth ? i have thin & fine hair and can never get it to grow past a certain length without it looking like trash 😭 i just recently stopped all heat styling so i hope that helps me !
My hair looks best the shorter it is. My curl starts getting weird and limp the longer my hair gets. Cut it. We're not all meant to have long hair.
I am so oily with thin hair that I have to wash my hair every morning to not be a grease pit by noon. Doesn’t really allow for me to use the heatless curlers since my hair is wet when I start work at 7am :( I wish I could
As someone who is trying to growing out my hair thank you so much for this!
Try utube rice water rinse water...once a week. No het...finger brush.
I’m going to try those 💕💕
I had bleached my hair with minimal damage for years and then went to a new stylist when I was on vacation and she burned my hair off (she said she was a blonde specialist)
So it’s been a journey 1.5 years later my hair is in pretty good shape now finally but I want to take it to the next step to having beautiful healthy long hair ❤
This is so helpful to have so many tips on one video! Thanks so much, you and the Blowout Professor have changed my hair health and quality game!
Confused now- what is the preferred order?? Coconut. Shampoo. K18. Hair mask. Leave In conditioner?
Yes
Love your videos! I've noticed lately your audio has a lot more feedback/reverb than before. Have you changed equipment/settings? Also, if you wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week, would you use the Redkin 15% citric acid product every time you wash or just once a week? Have a wonderful day!
I've also noticed the audio thing 🤔
Same!! The feedback hurts my ears 😂
Too much modulation from the mic is what it sounds like to me. Unpleasant on the ears but I love her channel so I still watch 😂❤
I've noticed that too.
Yes sorry when I moved my filming setup my MIC settings got messed up in the process - it'll be like that for a few more videos before it goes away!
Thanks! My hair thanks you, too!
Just now seeing this- THANK YOU! Wow ❤️
I have followed Abby’s suggestions for a while and my hair has never been so smooth and soft. HOWEVER I have lost half my hair due to chronic illness, stress and hormonal changes. Luckily my thyroid is fine it’s just…my overall health and life. Short of medication I wish there was a way to keep my hair. Luckily it grows back after the stressful times/worst of it, but 3-4 times a year I’m shedding like a collie dog in the summer.
Same girl. I was in the hospital in spring and got in remission by July and my hair has been shedding a ton since August. I was on iv steroids and then oral prednisone for months. I hate brushing my hair and seeing all of it in there. Prayers to you for healing.
Carnivore diet
I lose so much hair too.. it's insane how mental distress can wreck havoc on thr hair...
I'm here with you. The loss of hair only adds to overall helplessness. I dont know what to do
I was so happy to find you on TikTok!! All the tips and tricks that I have learned from you I haven’t really seen a difference in my hair already and I want to thank you for sharing! One thing that has really helped is the coconut oil treatment, but also sectioning off my hair when I am applying any kind of product. It just makes sense to do that and it’s really helped to even just clean my hair and make it feel really good when I am Shampooing.
This was helpful and encouraging! I recently decided I’m not doing anymore chops, only trims, at least until 50 (I’m 46 now) and I’m excited to finally grow out some healthy hair after years of henna, then big chops when my kids were babies. Positive if I take good care of it, it can look healthy even as it ages.
Abbey-is this routine good for naturally curly hair (not tight curls) or is this better for straight hair like yours? Your hair looks so healthy & stunning
I saw someone doing a hack for a tight ponytail to allow the effect without the same risk of damage. Section of the front of your hair and then put the remaining bulk of your hair into a regular ponytail then take the front section and pull it into a ponytail around the first one and secure with a second tie around both. This means you can make it fairly tight but with the weight of your hair being supported by a regular ponytail then the weight isn't being put through the delicate hairline.
I’m currently hating my hair due to a haircut that did not suit my hair. It’s very depressing lol. I cannot wait for my hair to grow back out
I have been using k18 for almost 3 months now and I noticed a big difference in my hair. But lately (last two weeks) my hair is getting frizzy, I'm seeing noticeable damage, and even after styling my hair with heat, it still gets buffy after a while. I feel so disappointed... but I think this is because I style my hair almost daily, I definitely style my hair a lot without a heat protector and I think I need to use more products so I'm going to test some of the products you recommended.
Thank you for the amazing video ❤️
ehy Abbey! thank you so much for the effort and care you put in every content, really appreciate it. unfortunately i’m from italy and the majority of the products you review is not available here in europe. i’d love to see a video where you give us an “europe-available haircare routine”!i think it would also be such a great idea for a video! sending lots of love💓💓
This video is gold. My hair is starting to look so much better and its because of you and these amazing recommendations! Thank you so much for all your hard work.
I just used K18 today for the first time after seeing you talk about it. I know it’s one use… but my hair feels AMAZING! I cannot wait to see the cummulative affect!!! 😍😍😍
I have total hair envy! Oh my gosh 😮 your hair is fabulous! I have fine thin hair but still want it to be the healthiest it can be. Just started watching your videos and I love them!
I always thought, this was knowledge that's already settled in anybody's heads, but I realized over the years, that it's not the case, so thank you for spreading it!
I am so glad to have a mother who started teaching me these as soon as possible and I always had long, shiny, healthy hair as a kid and teen until I really wanted to experiment with haircuts and color. That was a phase - one that lasted 21 years and is just about to end now because I wanna grow my hair out again. I am 36 and tired of the short, bleached hair. I already transitioned to a shade that's at least the same value (level of depth) than my own color so I don't have to touch it up that often and it wasn't a breeze to get there. My hair only is a level 6, but trust me, bleach damaged hair doesn't want to keep darker pigments in. But it's worth it, my hair is growing really nicely and also pretty fast. My hair is also on the finer side and probably not as dense as yours, but I have naturally wavy hair (which is something I figured out in my late 20's, didn't know it before) with a lot of visual volume, so I don't mind that.
I hope a lot of people watch (and already watched) this video and take your advice because it's really good. I have learned a few techniques to apply product to make it work better for my hair texture and it did change everything for me, really.
Thank you! Great vid! I'm going to send my hairdresser the coloring idea :) xoxo
You’re the best Abbey! Thanks for cutting through all the BS online about haircare and giving us all the facts 👏🏻 Can you make a video recommending heat protectants for dry styling? I am always leery of the efficacy of heat protectants for straightening/curling. Thanks!
Dear Abbey, thanks for your video and the guidelines! Please keep them going. I had a major chop myself a couple of years ago due to the same reason, and I feel I could already be sharing my knowledge like you do 😅 yet there’s always some new tips to learn. Thanks again!
So right on about leave-in conditioner!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you enough how much it helped me! You are amazing! 😊
Hi Abbey,
Could you please talk to the effects about hard water vs soft water?
I'm doing all the right things, bond treatments, little to no heat, silk pillow case, but by the time I'm up for my next regular hair cut, the hair in my drain is same same but different to the hair on my head.
I'm in the process of getting a shower head filter, but this might be help a bunch of other hard watered babes who are having the same challenges as me.
Thank you for your research and knowlege, you've taught me a lot!
I have hard water and got a water softener. They are pricy. If you cannot afford one, the shower heads that filter the hard water work great too. I also use a shampoo once per week that removes the minerals from the hard water. My hair was very damaged and I had breaking all around the crown of my head. They are slowly growing out.
I am 55 years old and have had hair loss that runs in my family so I use Monoxidil. My hair has grown back but it is so unruly. I had a bad haircut and am trying to grow it out. My hair is in a bad state right now and I just want to love it again! I know you said you only wash your hair once a week, but does that mean you don't get it wet in the shower the other times? I struggle with not washing my hair every day.
Did your hair texture change with menopause/permenopause? I'm getting much closer to that life change. I remember my mom's hair going from lightly wavey to kinky curly - but not all of it, just random strands. She loved using Friz Ease (which may just be a hair oil?.) I have thin fine hair with flyaway. For that, my niece recommended I use Biosilk's Silk Therapy Original. It's a hair oil, and just a drop or two rubbed in my top layer of dry hair tames those flyaway without making my hair greasy. As for Abby's washes, I know she used to wash 1 time per week, but I think she has changed that - or at least changed her recommendation for other people - farely recently. I think she now says do whatever works best for you. You may want to search for her most recent videos on that. Good luck. And, I'm glad the minoxidil is working for you 😊
She changed it to washing it twice a week. Im pretty sure she keeps it dry for other showers though because the way she talks about styling and using heat protectants that are for dry hair and talks about how water swells the hair and makes it more fragile….
@@Crystal0139 Thanks 😊
@@kathysharp7551I have naturally curly hair and use both of the products you mentioned when I straighten it. I think it they work well 😊 Maybe those will help you @Julie
When my hairs curly I like leave in conditioner and mousse.
@@kathysharp7551 you’re welcome ☺️
I swear my hair is getting SO much better since following your tips and getting the products you recommend. I TRUST YOU 😅
if the shark tools are bad then why do hairdressers always blow dry hair from wet to dry while brushing it? I'm so confused
My question is will you have to keep doing all these steps forever to maintain healthy hair or can you cut some of these steps once your hair is repaired and healthy?
Glad you mentioned waiting until you're hair is more than 3/4 dry before using any blow dry brush. I feel like they are advertized as blow dryers which is not what they are really intended for. There is no reason to go in with one of those bad boys with sopping wet hair....frankly you shouldn't do that with any hot hair styler asidss from rough drying with an actual blow dryer. Ty for the amazing and honest content. Your hair is stunning 💕
Can’t thank you enough for your tips, they are slowly helping my hair recover … have to chuckle at your sectioning as one of your sections is about the entirety of the hairs on my head haha I have such fine hair…you have the most beautiful thick hair, and thank you again for all the invaluable information you share ❤
Abbey, you are such an inspiration!♥
Every time I have doubts about sharing my WIP results and tips and tricks at work and I want to wait till I complete something till it’s perfect (my work couldn’t be further away from what you do 😆), I always think about you and how much easier it is for us to follow you along on your journey (growing out healthier hair, testing all products, now getting a trichology certification)!
Thank you for your sincerity and hard work! Much love from Canada ♥
I have a few questions I’ll be asking in separate comments.
Aww thank you so so much! That is so kind of you ♥
abbeyyy id love a leave in conditioner favourites video
Hi Abbey! I’m wondering why you choose to use the OGX coconut oil product rather than 100 percent coconut oil. I’m appreciate your advice.
She’s said before, because it’s formulated for hair so won’t weight it down the same as regular coconut oil. Or leave residue
Active duty Marine here-for the past 4 years I’ve worn my hair short so that I don’t have to damage it by putting it in a tight bun. But I’m over it, and want to have some length for once. Any tips on how to do that when I am required to pull my hair back but not allowed to use claw clips or scrunchies?
I just started my hair growth journey. It's already relatively long (almost waist-length at my back), but I want it longer 😅. The most challenging part has been cutting out heat. I just came to terms with the fact that I need to stop using my curling wand last week. I have too many split ends and seem to just get more everytime I use it.
Also, wearing it up when working has been rough as well, but it's constantly knotting at the nape of my neck to where the collar of my shirt is. Finding protective styles that look okay on me has been a challenge. I know you have a video on protective styles for sleep, but one for hairstyles during the day and when out in public would be amazing!
Great idea!
@@AbbeyYunghi how often should I be getting my hair trimmed if I'm trying to grow it? My stylist always takes too much off xx
Yes! We need this . I get my hair tangled they're & also my side burn aread also . ! Great idea girl !
@@louisestevenson1038I get mine done every 12 weeks. Any more and it just stays same length. Although recently I had 3 inch off and it’s so much better shiny & manageable
A hair dresser told me that the olaplex number 3 should never be used alone, we need to apply the number 0 first before on dry hair let it 10 minutes then put the 3 wait again 10 minutes. What are your thoughts on this one ? Thank you so much
My hair is so broken & crown of my head keeps breaking so I feel like I have a mullet. I need to stop putting in bun. Your videos have given me hope
Hi Abbey, maybe a stupid question but do you first squeeze excess water out of your hair with a microfiber towel and then use leave in or do you spray leave in on soaking wet hair and then go to drying your hair? Love the tips! I got the k18 and coconut oil you recommended 😊
Def squeeze the hair out gently
You do not need to use coconut oil you can use other oils: argan, almond, jojoba, rose hip.... Coconut is not THE oil for hair
I think it depends on hair texture and porosity too. Coconut is a very penetrating oil. Jojoba is not very penetrating. Oils have unique properties. Combinations can be more effective
🙄 let ppl use what’s best for their hair. My hair does the best with coconut oil. I wasted so much money and time trying other oils and I ended going back to coconut.
Works great on my hair 🤷🏻♀️
I hate hair in my face and I love sleek strict ponytails and braids. But unfortunately pulling hair back too strong is harmful. Since I use Olaplex instead of Kérastase, my hair is so silky that my silk scrunchies slip out easily. Therefore, I would like some detailed instructions on how to create loose buns and braids by using silk scrunchies or pinned back hairstyles with hair clips.
Gladly also to let the hair air dry. I only rough dry my roots on a cold setting, then let air dry tossed with silk scrunchies. I would like to know how to air dry and creating waves without heat, brushes or curlers. Thanks for the help in advance.
What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing! I would like to know more about your colour. Absolutely love it!! 💞
She has a video from September 2022 where she films the process at the salon. It's very informative! It's called "How My Hair Stylist Colors my Warm Blonde Hair." Hope that helps 😊
I use her liason bond shampoo and conditioner and it works amazing. Plus you get 50% off so you can get them both for under $30. In between having none left of the get mission products? I started using the loreal bond strengthening/ repair pre shampoo concentrate, shampoo, and conditioner. I love them and you can't beat the price! My hair is healthier and grows faster, and promotes hair regrowth. My suggestions for a cheaper budget friendly option. Which the loreal bond shampoo and conditioner is recommended by Abbey.
Thankyou for teaching me all about hair care I really had no clue how to look after my hair for many years until I met you. I now know about serums, conditioners, bonds , masks. and to not always wear my hair up in pony tails I’m wearing a low pony and put it in a clip. I stopped dyeing my hair blonde every few months eith box hair drys from Claro. I never heard of high rise toning hair. I haven’t dyed my hair for 4 months now. I take much better of my hair I stopped using my straightener and curling iron. Never heard of heat protectant til you mentioned it. I honestly am grateful I met you and you have gorgeous hair.
I need to see your hair Coloring video. I want to do the same technique to my hair. You have beautiful hair. Want my hair the same color as yours.
Please share your detailed video.
Thank you
Me too!
I just started using this oil based on your recommendation and I absolutely love it!!!
I also adore the smell of it and I don’t even like coconut smell, but this is a clean and almost perfumey smell. Anyway, it’s amazing.
I have extremely dry menopausal hair that has completely changed textures on me!
I am applying a very light amount on the days I don’t wash and sleep with it overnight and the next day, I just spray a little dry shampoo at my roots and it’s made such a difference. I apply a heavier amount before shampooing on the days I wash.
Anyone who says all oils are the same are misinformed.
Thank you for the suggestion.
My hair thanks you too!😝
Im about to embark on a hair growth journey. I went from extremely processed silver hair back to my natural roots. Now to let go of those tools and give my hair the love it needs. Thank you for all the tips. ❤
I wonder if in your research you have come across research or good information about how hair's needs might change as it goes grey? I'm 39 and I don't mind the greys at all but I have noticed their texture seems to be coarser and my hair has gone from being stick straight to a little bit wavy. I would love to know if the same rules about protecting and repairing damage apply, or if greys have extra needs to keep them looking their best.
Oil treatment works miracles when you also wrap the hair in a steamy towel. So oil, wet towel in the microwave, wrap and rewarm as necessary. It makes a huge difference!
Can i ask how often you were getting foils done? Were they just doing your regrowth? Would love to see a video on your colouring routine now (if it has changed). Love your videos! 🙂
Thank you so much! I am enjoying your content and truly appreciate it. I am in remission from a rare small intestinal cancer during 2023. I didn’t lose my hair from chemo. However, it thinned out at the three month mark after a very stressful surgery and rough recovery, including malnutrition. I’ve regained my weight, am optimizing my nutrition, and my hair is growing in nicely at my scalp. However, I have very wispy ends, and extremely fine miniaturized hair. I am looking at your hair routine closely and being much more gentle with my hair. I also just ordered K18 and think based on what I read that it will be a significant help. I’ll keep you posted! Thank you so much again!
We need a full blow dry tutorial from you that minimizes damage and frizz!
Do you still get your hair coloured? Im brunette and have high lights - what should I use to keep my hair healthy or is it not possible ? Thank you so much
Great tips! I will be trying some of these products. Thanks
Your hair is so gorgeous and your videos are really informative! I lost all my hair this year and was completely bald as I have breast cancer and chemotherapy got rid of all the hair on my body (I'm not sad about any of the hair neck down its been amazing not shaving 😂) but I am sad about my head hair and my eyelashes and eyebrows. I'm currently at the stage of regrowth with my hair where it's probably about an inch long and I finally have no bald patches. Do you have any recommendations to help my hair grow quicker and healthy? Wearing wigs all the time it gets so hot and uncomfortable and I can't wait to just be able to have hair long enough to not wear wigs xx
Sending you love. Stay strong sister. 💪
@@JaymeeKay aw thank you so much lovely ❤️
Much love ❤❤❤❤
It’s seems companies want us to layer so many products. Products you wash out, seal, etc.
Keep it simple an natural ingredients as much as possible.
Your onto something.. I don’t use products on my hair either.
I was doing that. For years. My hair looks healthier after following a lot of Abby’s recommendations
What’s funny is that when I used the Revlon and Drybar brush hairdryers, my hair didn’t seem that damaged compared to the damage that I’ve seen with the Shark flex style brush attachment. And back when I was using the Revlon brush, that was long before my hair care journey started, and I was using that on completely wet hair!😂 I think there’s something about the Shark brush attachment that pulls on the hair much more than those other two did, at least in my experience. It was something I noticed upon first using the Shark, and I was doing things as carefully as possible with heat styling by the time I got that product
Do you have recommendations on a heat protectant on dry hair please?
abbey!!!! my last haircut was this summer and i have ZERO split ends which is unheard of for me. i owe it all to your haircare recommendations. thank you forever and ever ♥️🫡
Is silicones bad or good for your hair?
I’ve been using k18 for a month now every time I wash my hair, I haven’t noticed anything at all, my hair is still dry 😐
Ironically, my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been, and I get my roots bleached every 6-8 weeks. My hair is light to begin with, so maybe that’s why? I had an outbreak of scalp psoriasis right after a shit ton of my hair fell out after I went to my husband’s friend’s wife (who is a hairdresser!) and she did a color remover thing on my hair and sent me home in a hair mask. As I was washing my hair out, clumps and clumps of hair were coming out. I lost so much hair and then on top of that, BAM! Scalp psoriasis. My hair was so long and healthy and I’ve been recovering from that for a few years. My hair is finally at a very healthy stage again, but I know I’m doing some things I shouldn’t, especially after watching your channel!
Such a fan of your channel! Thank you for all this info!
Hi abbey I have been following your tips for skin care and I have loved them 🤩 I’m a little confused on this video, do you do all this in one was day?
1. Pre shower oil treatment
2. Wash hair with shampoo
3. Then apply k18
4. you then shampoo your hair with redken acidic shampoo right after k18
5. Condition (it didn’t say what conditioner)
6. Living proof leave in conditioner
Can you correct me if that was right please🙏?
100%. Agree with applying in sections otherwise you’re just coating the outer! I tell my clients all the time
I am definetely going to try adding some of these tips from your routine Abbey, my hair is about currently at your 2022 mid length, oh probably a little shorter, ive had to grow out henna, lord what an ordeal, and also find a hair stylist to work with my progress, its been such a long road but I'm really excited to think that probably by next year my hair is going to be long and luxurious again, its really exciting, ya definetely going to be adding some of your hair tips here and researching some of your other hair videos you mentioned, thank you Abbey!
the ogx coconut oil is my favorite pre-shampoo oil! it really works and helps prevent breakage in the shower.
Just tried the ogx coconut oil, omg, you were so right. You just saved me from a big chop. My hair is so soft and shiny and manageable now!!!!
You're not supposed to use a drying brush on damp hair but on 80% dry hair. So you can use it faster with less heat
Hiiii I just found your channel while looking for ways to help my hair 😅 thanks for all the recommendations, I'm saving this for future reference 😊
Wait, are we supposed to use K18 *in* the shower? I thought it was a leave-in treatment that you apply after washing/before styling?
Hi Abbey, I love your videos so much and feel like my hair is already looking better! I have a question because you mentioned using redken as a hair mask- don't you put k18 in on damp hair after shampooing and aren't supposed to condition or rinse it? Do you just apply k18, wait a few mins, and then also apply the redken on top too? Is any of it rinsed out?
I had the same question 😊
You can apply redken, conditioner, or a hair mask after as long as you wait 4 min!
In my experience, K18 leaves the hair extremely tangled. So I was really glad when Abbey made a video a while back explaining that she reached out to the brand, and they confirmed that it was okay to follow up with a conditioner or a mask after leaving K18 on for 4 minutes. My friends who were using K18 were skeptical, too, pretty much saying that this was washing almost 100 CAD down the drain 😬Hopefully, this is not the case.
Re: rinsing out Redken - in their instructions, it's meant to be rinsed out, and my understanding was that Abbey rinses it out too.
I have watched almost every hair care video you have put out and I love them. I just wanted to ask if you could make one about permanent keratin treatments, the ones you do on salon. I know you have talked a lot about keratin treatment such as k18, but I would be so happy if you made a video about a salon treatments since you are the only hair care influencer I trust, you have really helped me so much
I have been using a mix of drugstore and bond repair products you recommended and following your general guidelines. I felt for so long it wasn’t working much - I have tried for years to grow my hair past my chest - but put my hair in braids the other day and realized it went down to my waist. 😅 I have extremely dry, high porosity hair despite never dying or heating it. I remember begging for a perm in middle school, and it fell out in a couple of months. I dyed my hair black once about ten years ago, and that fell out too. That was the last time I tried doing anything to it. Is it just my genetics? I’ve always preferred my hair long, but it is a little sad that it always looks so damaged. I’m going to keep growing it anyways though. 😊
I have fine thin hair and struggle with products constantly weighing my hair down. Even when I double wash, do a scalp tx, and blow dry my hair. I make sure to clean my brushes to avoid residue and build up. I cut my hair off to chin length approximately 4 months ago and wanted to hear any tips you might have for that length and hair type.
Well if you look better in chin length just consider that your answer. You may just have to do you.
Hello, very informative video and definitely a much better hair highlights colour. Can you please list the shampoo that you currently use now after the healing process? Thanks
Thank you so much for this guide Abbey. Excited to see my own transformation!
I bought that coconut oil and use as a pre shampoo treatment. My hair looks so much better ! My hair has always grown 😆 slow. I'm so thankful for you 😊
hey,Abbey. At 4:33 you start telling how you shampoo your hair and use k18, but on the label they say that you need to wait 4 minutes and not rinse out k18. I get it right? and after that you use Redken?
hi abbey!! Biolage came out with a brand new bond line just like Redken's. would love if you did a review on it because i really want to buy the line since i love Redken's so much. the ingredients are similar but theres some different too! Biolage one contains coconut oil, Redken's doesnt!
Okay serious question. We let the hair airdry for about 80%, however, when we apply heat protectant spray, or maybe products like Color WOW after that the hair gets back to being very wet. Do I wait for these to dry a bit as well, or just go in, but if so wouldnt that again make them a bit fragile since they are wet??
I always wait for it to dry because wet is wet.🤷
Depends on your hair type. If you have curly or wavy hair, you'll need to manipulate the hair before it dries or else you'll need more heat like a curling iron or flat iron. So if you're only styling with a blow drier you'll need to use on damp hair after you've applied your heat protectant cream/spray. If using a flat iron/curling iron then you're styling already dry hair and will want to brush the heat protectant through each section of hair. As Abbey mentioned in her video there are aerosol heat protectants which would be more dry on the hair versus a water based heat protectant that would make your hair wet again. Just make sure the heat protectant you're using correlates to the heat tool you're using as not all heat protectants work the same.
any tips for good hair growth after head shaving
I have only just learned how to properly apply a leave in and I agree - completely underrated. My hair has never felt so good even with oxg coconut oil I use that too. Leave in goes on straight after a shower, before anything else. Amazing.
But if you use coconut oil do you not use epres anymore pre-shampoo? Also, what is your routine when you DON'T use K18...?
thank you for making it much more easy. I've had damaged hair from doing swimming for multiple years and this has helped me a lot thank you!
