I just wanted to say how much I love your videos! I am a biochemist and I appreciate how much thought, research, and trials you do to bring people the most accurate and helpful information! I also appreciate how you are able to update and reevaluate your past opinions when new data/research is presented!
@@AbbeyYung hey whenever u use the K18 leave in do u personally use a regular rinse out conditioner first?? I know it says no to buy ummmm my hair is super curly and super long and very easy tangles.......do u still do your usual rinse out conditioner? And do u still use an additional leave in conditioner? If so do u add the leave in conditioner or the K18 leave in first??
I thought I was going crazy too because I remember buying it’s a 10 for around $10 at Walmart years ago before salons started selling it. I’m so glad someone else remembers that!
I know you mentioned doing an updated Olaplex video, but I'm personally more curious about a Pureology video and comparing all of the different shampoo/conditioner options (because it seems like you've maybe tried them all?). I was going to just start buying all of them over time in travel size to try the different options, but it would be so much easier to have some direction LOL - love your videos Abbey!
Dyson Supersonic hair dryer - My hair type is fine, high density and high porosity. - I actually had the same experience with my Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, but I continued to use it for a couple of months. Then I went back to my old hair dryer and NEVER AGAIN. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Dyson now! Even my hair dresser has commented on how much healthier my hair is. When using it I use level 1 or 2 on heat and nothing higher. I try to steer clear of heat now and my hair is a thousand times healthier.
It’s a 10 was definitely around $40 during that 2010-2012 period. I remember telling my mom how many things it did to justify the price to her lol I used the keratin one for many years before switching to Redkin’s multi-benefit spray. Loved this video!
I would really appreciate an updated Olaplex video. As well as other great options for each step. Thank you for your detailed content. I really like know the why behind what makes a product good.
Clear, concise and to the point. Wonderful video, thank you for the suggestions- I’ll be doing some shopping soon🙏🏻 you should drop your makeup routine because your skin looks flawless
I've used "It's a 10" (just the standard version) for prob 5-6 years - I have thick but fine 2c-3a hair and I love it, makes detangling way easier and also helps reduce frizz/define the curls a bit before I put my other products in. Also think it makes my hair super soft/shiny. It's not cheap, but a little goes a long way and the smaller bottles still last a long time (prob would last even longer if you have less hair). Definitely worth a shot imo
Obviously you shouldn’t feel guilty about not buying an expensive hair dryer, but I think the problem is the heat settings. With a normal dryer you rough dry first on high fan and heat and then bring the air down to polish at the end. With the Dyson, you have to do the most of the drying on a middle to low fan and heat setting and then switch to high fan/heat at the very end to smooth. This takes longer, obviously, than drying it on high, but it prevents all the straw feeling (which does go away in an hour or so anyway) and is quite a lot less damaging over time. I also like that it is super quiet and I don’t feel so shell shocked when I’m done drying my hair as a migraine sufferer. All that said, a regular hair dryer in the hands of someone with skills can certainly perform equally or better to the Dyson. But if “learn to dry hair like a pro” hasn’t made your to do list, this dryer is a great option for reducing damage IMO.
I appreciate the time and effort that goes in to making videos like this. My colored treated hair is fine and most products weigh it down so I end up with no volume with my short bob. One thing that I have noticed is that my hair dryer has to be ion free, so just the standard dryer works better. I have looked at the dream coat, but worried that it too would make my hair flat on top. One product that is new to me but that I really like is Osensia, VaVa Volume Weightless Spray. Helps give me the lift that makes my style look better. xo
Can you do a comparison of hair shine rinses? I know that you did one for the lamellar water, but I’m interested in which rinse you think is worth it. I know that you use the amika, but have you tried the drybar one, or the Kerastase? :) I’d also be interested in the science behind these products!
You might want to try KERASTASE Densifique mask this actually leaves hair feeling a little more ‘substantial’ especially the ends and gives body and smoothness.
I have naturally curly hair and the dyson hairdryer with diffuser is absolutely amazing for me. Also the construction is so much better for my disability with holding things up for a length of time

This is very interesting. I wonder if Abbey would be willing to forego K18 for a year....or maybe just 6 months. I think Abbey would be a perfect example since she's been using it consistently for a long time already. I don't want her hair to suffer, but I think it would be very informative and show the strength and integrity of her hair survives without K18 for half a year or so.
Omg I just switched to a professional dyson a couple months ago and it’s so much better than any of my old dryers by a long shot! Especially on my own hair.
They also came out with a curly hair friendly color WOW Dream Coat but for some reason that one doesn't require blow drying. Do you think straight hair gals can use the curly hair version in order to avoid the blow-drying? I personally don't like applying any heat to my hair in general just because of the potential damage and time consumption. I'd love to hear your thoughts! You changed my hair care game for the better~
I so love, love your honesty and how conscience you are about the price of products for those of us who love quality at an affordable price. Thank you.
Can you do an all brand series on all the products from different haircare brands? One particular one I’d love to see is Amika. I love your videos! You are so kind yet honest, and I appreciate that about you and your channel! ❤
More Abbey!!! I literally need a series from you in regards to Ulta and Sephora beauty events You know we take everything. & YO we all loved it's a 10 lol I remember the big bottle was like $20 something. Girl you are for sure right.
Olaplex’s blog website advises you *can* put olaplex 0 on wet hair after clarifying first. The one thing that annoys me about Olaplex is their directions are often contradictory (wet vs dry) and the time is always a minimum. It’s like they don’t know their own product.
Yep, any time you have to rely on multitudes of influencer videos to explain your products because you can't do that yourself -- that's a fail. And every video shows a DIFFERENT way of using them 'correctly'... huh?
I am 56 ... so much has changed for the better in regards to haircare. I really want to try the K18...I wish it wasn't so expensive. I have fine, thin hair and I was told to try density products. I love your videos...the content is thoughtful, honest and thorough. Thank you.😊
Ouai and Amika products are so great! I’ve noticed such a difference with them especially amikas hair masks (the Kure is on my Xmas list lol) and also using the olaplex 6/7 products together work well with my thick hair.
I absolutely love my dyson supersonic hairdryer! I don't have superfine hair (according to my hairdresser), but I don't have a lot of it. I am constantly in search of good volumizing hair products. The Dyson hairdryer adds volume to my hair. I can tell a huge difference from using a regular hairdryer. It has not been my experience that it dries my hair. I'm sad that everyone doesn't have the same positive experience. However, I realize everyone is different. I enjoy your videos Abbey, and I appreciate the research you share.
Love Ouai shampoo! Gives volume and new life to my hair without drying. It's lasted so long too since I use it once a week to every two weeks. And I love the Amika mask! Makes my hair so shiny!!
Hi all, I am a fan of the It"s a 10 leave in for many years and I actually mix it with filtered water (1:1) in another spray bottle because I found it pretty rich. It is less heavy on my hair, without loosing its benefits and last me a lot longer. It's like getting double product for the same price. Just a tip.
I found it a bit heavy too, so I buy the it’s a 10 lite version now, it would probably be like the regular one with water added actually haha that’s smart.
Hey Abbey! I look forward to your videos every time you post! I love how you talk about the science behind why things are myths and not spread false information! A lot of that happens in the hair care world. But I was going to ask if you have looked into the shark blow dryer. I don’t know the exact name but it’s supposed to be exactly like the Dyson and it’s around $250 I think. Seems like people like it more but it would be cool for you to review to give people another option that’s more affordable! Thank you so much for all your hard work!❤️
I’ve tried over 10 different leave in conditioners… drugstore and highend. It’s a 10 is still my favorite. I personally think it’s a miracle product lol I tried the pureology leave in and my hair was still a tangled mess was super disappointed in that product.
For the moroccanoil product, I suggest to buy the whole blends argan and camelia oil. It's very cheap and the formula Is extremely similiar and it also smells great!
I really liked this video--just the right length in terns of reviewing each product. Would love to see one about makeup and another about skincare (face & body). Thanks so much!
Hey! Would love to hear your thoughts on Kinky Curly’s Knot Today Leave In Conditioner and Come Clean Shampoo. I’ve been using these for years as a cheap clarifying and detangling pair but would love some confirmation on its efficacy/ knowledge about how the ingredients stack up to thinks you’ve mentioned that are much pricier like Ouai’s Detox shampoo. I really trust your knowledge and research and honestly dont know where to start myself~
Thank you for the helpful reviews! In regards to the Dyson initially I did have the straw feeling so I returned it. But a few months later I gave it another try since I was further along my curly journey and was using great products and this time it worked like a charm. I do have to air dry for about 20 min and then diffuse with the dyson but the results are wonderul and it take about 5-7 min to really dry. That being said it might not be worth it for all the work and products that have to be used for it to actually work for me. Hope this helps someone.
YES!!! To an Olaplex review/update. I love their new serum. And I love the fragrance. I’m very sensitive to chemical smells, but this one doesn’t bother me at all!
Yes to updated olaplex update. I’ve reduced my usage to no3 because it has the most ingredient in. I use the oil and 6 together prior to drying. Just started the volume up combo in redken the pink one. As per your recommendation I use the pureology leave in 🤣🥰
Would love to see a clothes haul! I feel we have a similar taste in basics, and would love to see which hoodies, tees, etc have caught your eye this fall/winter :)
I’d like an update on your thoughts on Olaplex. When did they change directions for Number 3? They have so many products. I do think Olaplex 3 works wonders, for me it seems to work better than k18 and is more affordable but it is more time consuming to use if applied to wet, dirty hair. Maybe that’s why Olaplex changed the directions so that it’s more similar to K18?
Yes, I used it’s a 10 in high school around 2012 and it was much cheaper! I Recently just bought some more because I realized it’s a heat protector as well! Love it
Abbey, I’m hoping you see this late post, but I wanted to add it to one of your hair specific videos. Have you ever tried the Kerastase Elixir Ultime hair oil serum? I have had wonderful results with Kerastase products, particularly the shampoos as well as their (expensive, but worth it to me) masks. My hair is very similar to yours, color, length, and texture. You put in the research hours and are so great at bringing us the ingredient list, so I was hoping you could peruse the Elixir Ultime oil list in your “free” time. Marula oil, Camellia Oil and Argon, etc. I would appreciate any advice as I already own this oil and would like to know if it’s decent enough. Thanks! Happy hair days to all!
You are fantastic, I have been following you on all social networks for months and I am literally obsessed with your videos. You are always clear and direct in your content and I blindly trust your advice ... I have tried many of the products you recommend and I have always had a great time. Keep it up! A kiss from Italy💋
Hi abbey know you may not have this problem but can you please do a video on hair care for dandruff or recommend a video already done? Also can you please review the Shark flex style if haven’t already?
I have curly hair and LOVE the Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner when I blow dry my hair straight. I haven’t found another combo that makes my hair feels as amazing as those do. Pricey but worth it for my curly hair 🥰
I bought amika’s soul food and the kure based on your channel and definitely LOVE soul food the most! I have very fine hair and this makes it so sleek, smooth and weightless. I struggle with grease and oil and this allows me to only wash twice a week now. I followed amika’s website and did not apply to my roots so maybe that is the key if you have fine hair. The kure didn’t make my hair feel weightless after washing so it is too heavy for me. I was not a big fan honestly. I think its better for thick hair.
Abbey- you are the best ❤ I always get excited for your videos! I have been a long time user of the original Briogeo hair mask, and I just tried the vegan honey version and LOVE it! Much more hydrating/softening for me personally! I also can’t live without the K18 hair mask or peptide prep shampoo 💗 and The LP dry shampoo is a holy grail (hands up to us 7-8 day no hair wash gals 😅) I would LOVE for you to do this for skincare! And perhaps some K Beauty too! I have been finding that K Beauty is so much more effective AND affordable than a lot of the “best sellers” at Sephora and Ulta ✨✨✨💗💗💗
Excellent review and update! Because of your recommendations, my hair is doing great! Love Amika products! (The Kure line) What oil products do you recommend for thin hair? Thank you for all the work and effort you put into your videos. 💕💕💕
I really value your opinion. Great video. I know you have fine hair but could you make a video of what hair routine you would recommend for dry over processed coarse thick curly hair? It’s just that there are so many products out there that it is hard to decide.
I agree the Pureology Hydrate shampoo isn’t the best for oily hair and I actually have dry hair/scalp and even I prefer the Hydrate SHEER shampoo with the original Hydrate conditioner! I don’t think It’s a 10 has ever been affordable… I worked at Ulta like 7 years ago (yikes) and it was always considered a “prestige” brand and I remember being stoked to get it with my employee discount lol. Also agree on the Drybar Detox dry shampoo… I thought I’d treat myself to a high end dry shampoo because sometimes I lose my mind while shopping and now I’m just using mine up to get rid of it when I won’t really be in public but just don’t feel like washing my hair, I hate it so much 😅 ANYWAYS, Abbey (or anyone in the comments), do you have a favorite detangling spray? I’m assuming it’s the Pureology one, but my hair doesn’t love coconut oil so was wondering if you had an alternative?? I guess I could always go back to the It’s a 10 and relive my ULTA days lol but would also love one that was more of a liquid spray rather than cream so it doesn’t weigh my hair down so much… basically looking for the unicorn of detangling sprays, thank youuuu haha
I enjoyed this video so much, it would be awesome if you do a similar one for skincare. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos, and have a great weekend, Abbey!
I LOVE the its a 10!! It has made my hair soft and shiny! When I started using it I had a head of straw! Lol but I dont like the price at all! But luckily it is lasting well!
I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on Ouai leave in for so long- I’m surprised though- I have really thin hair but it does not weigh down my hair at all- I actually prefer this one over the Pureology one
The it’s a 10 miracle leave in spray is my favorite detangler I’ve ever tried, makes my hair so soft. I’d recommend looking for this product at Marshall’s, tj max, Tuesday morning, one of those kinds of stores cause sometimes they will have them in stock for a reduced price, that’s how I always get mine. At Marshall’s, I found the large $40 bottle for $24, and the bottle is pretty big so it was a great deal
Another fantastic,informative video like always thanks!! Your hair always looks good and in this video it looks a lil toned down which is great for fall!!!
yes interested in an all olaplex video! your videos are hair holy grails for me. wondering if you can include your thoughts on olaplex for virgin hair as well :)
I love the Dyson supersonic! I have very fine hair and don’t notice that it’s drying at all. I am also frizz prone and my hair has never been so smooth. 🤷♀️
I look forward to an update on Olaplex. That IS it’s own video. 😂 I also found that I ❤ the No 3 when I highlight my hair and it feels damaged. The No 1 should be mixed in every bowl of lightener and color that includes a developer. So it’s very important, but maybe ask your stylist. I think the air wrap is a good value because of the number of tools you would be replacing. No messy storage and easy to pack. I have a dryer that is shipping to me today. I may like it or be ready to trade up to Dyson or Shark etc. Thanks for linking it and sharing. 😎
I prefer the Biolage Coconut multi benefit leave in over the It's a 10. Would love if you did a video comparing them and even compared to the Redken Bonding leave in treatment. Thanks for this video!
My 40 dollar Conair SmoothWrap is hands down the best blow dryer I have ever used. It's fast and gentle and kills my frizz. It's my go to for rough drying even when I style with my Shark flexstyle.
Amazing video which I am watching for a second time! So much great info! Using Pureology Strength Cure and will try the Hydrate. In addition a half hour before washing hair a little Verb Moringa Oil or Argan oil. Thank you Abby for reviewing Pureology and for helping me get over my fear of oil!
The Hydrate conditioner is full of essential oils so beware! I feel the peeper mint and rosemary tingling on my skin after I use it. Otherwise, it’s a really nice conditioner.
Thanks for the review! Move the consistency of your videos. I bought a lot of stuff for my hair (ouai detox shamp, redken acidic line, olaplex 8, etc) thanks to you but i have to say that i love the moroccanoil oil (although i didn't like the smell at first) it looks like my hair are less frizzy and i have less split ends when i use it, also it doesn't feel greasy and heavy at all! So do you think there is an affordable version/dupe of it?
Well i have tried like 15 argan oils and the one that works the best and define the most my hair when straight or curled (it’s natural state) is the moroccanoil, like the best .
i just wanted to say how after using olaplex 3 my hair dry ends are soooo much better. Live in hot climate very hard water and have balayage every 4 months. I am.coming up to 4 months so split ends need trimming but my hair looked dead at the ends. It has made a big difference using olaplex 3 hair looks shinier smoother and hydrated. I think if you have hair in good condition you won't see a difference but anyone with damaged hair will. olaplex 3 is the only product I would use and possibly 6 for styling.
Thank you so much for sharing these! It's os hard to narrow things down at the store, it's nice to have someone that's really worked through a full set of products. Appreciate how much time went into testing these!
I was going to say I would love a deep dive into Olaplex and your updated thoughts... but who am I kidding haha I would just love any video of yours. 🥰
I remember you talking about the pureology leave in conditioner and was able to get it for 50% off on Sephora! Thanks for always sharing your favorites and recs! ❤️
Ur hair is super gorgeous! I know u have lots of questions, but, I hope u can get back to me. IF u would say a shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave in spray, etc, for very damaged, dry, coarse, yet thin, wavy and thinning hair because of breaking off, at the scalp, I truly need ur suggestions. I just need a point to at least try to begin to repair my hair if possible. I really appreciate any tips and appreciate all ur videos! Thx! 👍👍😊😊
Personally I love my Dyson hairdryer! I couldn’t live without it. I use it on the coolest setting and it doesn’t seem to dry to my hair out. But I do also use Moroccan oil religiously so maybe that’s why my hair doesn’t feel dry!
One of the holiday Sephora Favorites boxes this year is their "Ultimate Holiday Hair Hydration" box which sells for $39 and, along with a good variety of minis of other quality hair products, contains a full-size of the Amika The Kure (which on its own costs $38). I jumped on this deal without even knowing much about some of the products such as The Kure. Your video confirmed this was indeed a great pre-holiday gift to myself!
What do you think of the conditioner? It has a lot of bad reviews so I was skeptical of buying that hair kit...but curious to try that Amika conditioner
I watch all your videos. I too have really, really thick long hair but fine hair; however I let my hair go gray over Covid. I love it. I know a lot of products can make gray hair brassy/yellow. Also my gray hair is dry and has been shedding so been alternating between Aveda Invati and Zenagen Revolve shampoos and their related products $$$$. Know probably not your audience but I’d love it if u did a video on gray hair products for dryness that aren’t yellowing and products for hair shedding.
I’ve had my Dyson hair dryer for years and I’ve never noticed my hair being dry. I have fine hair and not a lot of it. To be fair I only dry my hair once maybe twice a week and it’s almost dry before I do so. I looked up the Amika hair dryer and it had some horrible reviews on how it breaks so quickly. Any thoughts on that? I’d love a video on hair dryers. Your hair care videos have completely changed my hair and one of my daughters. Still have one daughter with fine long straight non damaged hair that is sooo oily. Nothing works to help. Probably her pre-teen hormones.
I have fine, thin hair that tangles and I figured out a way that I like to use the Olaplex 6 without it being too heavy on my hair. I put a small amount of the Olaplex in my hand and then mix it with a couple sprays of the Pureology Color Fanatic spray and/or the Redken One United spray and then work it in. I feel that I get all the benefits from the cream and the spray(s) and it's not heavy.
I just wanted to say how much I love your videos! I am a biochemist and I appreciate how much thought, research, and trials you do to bring people the most accurate and helpful information! I also appreciate how you are able to update and reevaluate your past opinions when new data/research is presented!
Wow thank you so much! ❤️
I am a biochemist as well and I agree! 🥰
@@AbbeyYung hey whenever u use the K18 leave in do u personally use a regular rinse out conditioner first??

If so do u add the leave in conditioner or the K18 leave in first??
Same. Totally agree. I am Chemist (inorganic).

I think it’s time for another deep conditioner/hair mask video. I would especially like some affordable option.
I thought I was going crazy too because I remember buying it’s a 10 for around $10 at Walmart years ago before salons started selling it. I’m so glad someone else remembers that!
Same! I remember getting it at publix for like a price i would have bought a cream for in high school (i.e NOT $20)
Yees! It would be great to see a similar video for skincare. I also love your empties and decluttering videos. They’re so much fun 😊😍
🥰🥰🥰
I would love to hear your updated thoughts on the entire Olaplex line

17think must be location dependent bc it didn't approach $40 for me till 2017 or so
Same I was allllways hesitant because of how much it was and I’ve been wanting it for years lol it’s still at Walmart and target too
@@lifeoflw84 I did! I'd spray it on while my hair was wet and it made it easier to comb through and then blow dry it.
@@robins521 have you ever tried the pureology leave in?? I’m in the fence with the it’s a 10 plus or pureology…. Ugh..
I LOVE your honesty. No matter if a brand sends you free gifts, you share your own honest opionion of it! Tysm!😊
I would really appreciate an updated Olaplex video. As well as other great options for each step. Thank you for your detailed content. I really like know the why behind what makes a product good.

Thank you for being honest about the Dyson!! I always felt guilty for not having it but now I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders
Obviously you shouldn’t feel guilty about not buying an expensive hair dryer, but I think the problem is the heat settings. With a normal dryer you rough dry first on high fan and heat and then bring the air down to polish at the end. With the Dyson, you have to do the most of the drying on a middle to low fan and heat setting and then switch to high fan/heat at the very end to smooth. This takes longer, obviously, than drying it on high, but it prevents all the straw feeling (which does go away in an hour or so anyway) and is quite a lot less damaging over time. I also like that it is super quiet and I don’t feel so shell shocked when I’m done drying my hair as a migraine sufferer. All that said, a regular hair dryer in the hands of someone with skills can certainly perform equally or better to the Dyson. But if “learn to dry hair like a pro” hasn’t made your to do list, this dryer is a great option for reducing damage IMO.
What a strange thing to feel guilty for not having a Dyson dryer. Marketing is doing wonders on you. Don’t buy into all the hype
Super helpful! Thank you so much 😄
Could you please review the JVN line of products? I’ve been super curious
I appreciate the time and effort that goes in to making videos like this. My colored treated hair is fine and most products weigh it down so I end up with no volume with my short bob. One thing that I have noticed is that my hair dryer has to be ion free, so just the standard dryer works better.

Can you do a comparison of hair shine rinses? I know that you did one for the lamellar water, but I’m interested in which rinse you think is worth it. I know that you use the amika, but have you tried the drybar one, or the Kerastase? :) I’d also be interested in the science behind these products!
You might want to try KERASTASE Densifique mask this actually leaves hair feeling a little more ‘substantial’ especially the ends and gives body and smoothness.
I have naturally curly hair and the dyson hairdryer with diffuser is absolutely amazing for me. Also the construction is so much better for my disability with holding things up for a length of time
Very interested to hear your updated thoughts on Olaplex!!! Love your content, Abbey 💖
Please do an updated Sephora sale recommendation for hair! The sale is coming up and I’ve just been binging all your old Sephora sale recommendations. 😅
Unpopular opinion here. All bonding treatments feel good and seem to be working when you use them. It is not until you stop using them that you realise they temporarily bound your hair together artificially and did not in any way repair it. When you cease to use them your hair is either the same as before you started, or worse because as the bonds come away they pull weak hair apart and it often doesn't survive it. Many people argue and shout me down for saying this saying I am wrong etc but it is my direct experience of olaplex, K18 and other bonding products. If you don't believe me discontinue use for 2 -3 months and see the real state of your hair.
This is very interesting.
I wonder if Abbey would be willing to forego K18 for a year....or maybe just 6 months. I think Abbey would be a perfect example since she's been using it consistently for a long time already.
I don't want her hair to suffer, but I think it would be very informative and show the strength and integrity of her hair survives without K18 for half a year or so.
Yes very interesting! I would love to know more. Maybe she could stop using only one side of her head to actually see if there is any difference.
Yes to all the extra videos you mentioned! Would love to see those more in depth.
Omg I just switched to a professional dyson a couple months ago and it’s so much better than any of my old dryers by a long shot! Especially on my own hair.

Do you think straight hair gals can use the curly hair version in order to avoid the blow-drying?

I so love, love your honesty and how conscience you are about the price of products for those of us who love quality at an affordable price. Thank you.
Yes please do a separate video on your updated thoughts on Olaplex!
Can you do an all brand series on all the products from different haircare brands? One particular one I’d love to see is Amika. I love your videos! You are so kind yet honest, and I appreciate that about you and your channel! ❤
More Abbey!!! I literally need a series from you in regards to Ulta and Sephora beauty events
You know we take everything. & YO we all loved it's a 10 lol
I remember the big bottle was like $20 something. Girl you are for sure right.
Olaplex’s blog website advises you *can* put olaplex 0 on wet hair after clarifying first. The one thing that annoys me about Olaplex is their directions are often contradictory (wet vs dry) and the time is always a minimum. It’s like they don’t know their own product.
Yep, any time you have to rely on multitudes of influencer videos to explain your products because you can't do that yourself -- that's a fail. And every video shows a DIFFERENT way of using them 'correctly'... huh?
I am 56 ... so much has changed for the better in regards to haircare. I really want to try the K18...I wish it wasn't so expensive. I have fine, thin hair and I was told to try density products. I love your videos...the content is thoughtful, honest and thorough. Thank you.😊
Thanks for watching ☺️
Ouai and Amika products are so great! I’ve noticed such a difference with them especially amikas hair masks (the Kure is on my Xmas list lol) and also using the olaplex 6/7 products together work well with my thick hair.
I absolutely love my dyson supersonic hairdryer! I don't have superfine hair (according to my hairdresser), but I don't have a lot of it. I am constantly in search of good volumizing hair products. The Dyson hairdryer adds volume to my hair. I can tell a huge difference from using a regular hairdryer. It has not been my experience that it dries my hair. I'm sad that everyone doesn't have the same positive experience. However, I realize everyone is different. I enjoy your videos Abbey, and I appreciate the research you share.
Yes, need a “new thoughts” on olaplex!
Ur the best ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Love Ouai shampoo! Gives volume and new life to my hair without drying. It's lasted so long too since I use it once a week to every two weeks. And I love the Amika mask! Makes my hair so shiny!!
Love your videos - thanks for all the work you put into them! Curious what your favourite hair oil is, in place of the Olaplex one.
Hi all, I am a fan of the It"s a 10 leave in for many years and I actually mix it with filtered water (1:1) in another spray bottle because I found it pretty rich. It is less heavy on my hair, without loosing its benefits and last me a lot longer. It's like getting double product for the same price. Just a tip.
I found it a bit heavy too, so I buy the it’s a 10 lite version now, it would probably be like the regular one with water added actually haha that’s smart.
I recently did the same thing!! It’s great haha.
I live this idea. It's heavy for my hair too
Good idea thanks
Hey Abbey! I look forward to your videos every time you post! I love how you talk about the science behind why things are myths and not spread false information! A lot of that happens in the hair care world. But I was going to ask if you have looked into the shark blow dryer. I don’t know the exact name but it’s supposed to be exactly like the Dyson and it’s around $250 I think. Seems like people like it more but it would be cool for you to review to give people another option that’s more affordable! Thank you so much for all your hard work!❤️
Try the purology hydrate sheer shampoo!! I have fine hair and it works great. Same luxurious smell and feel without the weight!
I’ve tried over 10 different leave in conditioners… drugstore and highend. It’s a 10 is still my favorite. I personally think it’s a miracle product lol I tried the pureology leave in and my hair was still a tangled mess was super disappointed in that product.
Same, Pureology leave in is terrible at detangling
For the moroccanoil product, I suggest to buy the whole blends argan and camelia oil.
It's very cheap and the formula Is extremely similiar and it also smells great!
What is that product you are talking about?
I really liked this video--just the right length in terns of reviewing each product. Would love to see one about makeup and another about skincare (face & body). Thanks so much!
Hey! Would love to hear your thoughts on Kinky Curly’s Knot Today Leave In Conditioner and Come Clean Shampoo. I’ve been using these for years as a cheap clarifying and detangling pair but would love some confirmation on its efficacy/ knowledge about how the ingredients stack up to thinks you’ve mentioned that are much pricier like Ouai’s Detox shampoo. I really trust your knowledge and research and honestly dont know where to start myself~
Super helpful! Thanks so much!!! Yes a video like this for skin care and makeup would be great!!
Thank you for the helpful reviews! In regards to the Dyson initially I did have the straw feeling so I returned it. But a few months later I gave it another try since I was further along my curly journey and was using great products and this time it worked like a charm. I do have to air dry for about 20 min and then diffuse with the dyson but the results are wonderul and it take about 5-7 min to really dry. That being said it might not be worth it for all the work and products that have to be used for it to actually work for me. Hope this helps someone.
YES!!! To an Olaplex review/update. I love their new serum. And I love the fragrance. I’m very sensitive to chemical smells, but this one doesn’t bother me at all!
Yes to updated olaplex update. I’ve reduced my usage to no3 because it has the most ingredient in. I use the oil and 6 together prior to drying. Just started the volume up combo in redken the pink one. As per your recommendation I use the pureology leave in 🤣🥰
Olaplex video for sure!
Would love to see a clothes haul! I feel we have a similar taste in basics, and would love to see which hoodies, tees, etc have caught your eye this fall/winter :)
I’d like an update on your thoughts on Olaplex. When did they change directions for Number 3? They have so many products. I do think Olaplex 3 works wonders, for me it seems to work better than k18 and is more affordable but it is more time consuming to use if applied to wet, dirty hair. Maybe that’s why Olaplex changed the directions so that it’s more similar to K18?
Yes, I used it’s a 10 in high school around 2012 and it was much cheaper! I Recently just bought some more because I realized it’s a heat protector as well! Love it
Abbey, I’m hoping you see this late post, but I wanted to add it to one of your hair specific videos. Have you ever tried the Kerastase Elixir Ultime hair oil serum? I have had wonderful results with Kerastase products, particularly the shampoos as well as their (expensive, but worth it to me) masks. My hair is very similar to yours, color, length, and texture. You put in the research hours and are so great at bringing us the ingredient list, so I was hoping you could peruse the Elixir Ultime oil list in your “free” time. Marula oil, Camellia Oil and Argon, etc. I would appreciate any advice as I already own this oil and would like to know if it’s decent enough. Thanks! Happy hair days to all!
You are fantastic, I have been following you on all social networks for months and I am literally obsessed with your videos. You are always clear and direct in your content and I blindly trust your advice ... I have tried many of the products you recommend and I have always had a great time. Keep it up! A kiss from Italy💋
Love your videos Abbey! I have ditched all my bad hair products and upgraded my hair dryer. Some ULTA best sellers are head scratches for me.
Yes an updated Olaplex video please
Hi abbey know you may not have this problem but can you please do a video on hair care for dandruff or recommend a video already done? Also can you please review the Shark flex style if haven’t already?
Shark video is coming soon 😊 I’d recommend seeing a derm for dandruff to rule out scalp conditions!
Thanks for these reviews Abbey, so helpful!! Could you review the living proof triple bond complex? (hyped to be better than olaplex and k18)
Coming soon 😊
@@AbbeyYung YAY!!!!!!
I have curly hair and LOVE the Pureology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner when I blow dry my hair straight. I haven’t found another combo that makes my hair feels as amazing as those do. Pricey but worth it for my curly hair 🥰
I bought amika’s soul food and the kure based on your channel and definitely LOVE soul food the most! I have very fine hair and this makes it so sleek, smooth and weightless. I struggle with grease and oil and this allows me to only wash twice a week now. I followed amika’s website and did not apply to my roots so maybe that is the key if you have fine hair. The kure didn’t make my hair feel weightless after washing so it is too heavy for me. I was not a big fan honestly. I think its better for thick hair.
Abbey- you are the best ❤ I always get excited for your videos! I have been a long time user of the original Briogeo hair mask, and I just tried the vegan honey version and LOVE it! Much more hydrating/softening for me personally! I also can’t live without the K18 hair mask or peptide prep shampoo 💗 and The LP dry shampoo is a holy grail (hands up to us 7-8 day no hair wash gals 😅)
I would LOVE for you to do this for skincare! And perhaps some K Beauty too! I have been finding that K Beauty is so much more effective AND affordable than a lot of the “best sellers” at Sephora and Ulta ✨✨✨💗💗💗
Excellent review and update! Because of your recommendations, my hair is doing great! Love Amika products! (The Kure line)
What oil products do you recommend for thin hair?
Thank you for all the work and effort you put into your videos. 💕💕💕
I really value your opinion. Great video. I know you have fine hair but could you make a video of what hair routine you would recommend for dry over processed coarse thick curly hair? It’s just that there are so many products out there that it is hard to decide.
Please share your updated thoughts on Olaplex (and K-18)
I agree the Pureology Hydrate shampoo isn’t the best for oily hair and I actually have dry hair/scalp and even I prefer the Hydrate SHEER shampoo with the original Hydrate conditioner! I don’t think It’s a 10 has ever been affordable… I worked at Ulta like 7 years ago (yikes) and it was always considered a “prestige” brand and I remember being stoked to get it with my employee discount lol. Also agree on the Drybar Detox dry shampoo… I thought I’d treat myself to a high end dry shampoo because sometimes I lose my mind while shopping and now I’m just using mine up to get rid of it when I won’t really be in public but just don’t feel like washing my hair, I hate it so much 😅
ANYWAYS, Abbey (or anyone in the comments), do you have a favorite detangling spray? I’m assuming it’s the Pureology one, but my hair doesn’t love coconut oil so was wondering if you had an alternative?? I guess I could always go back to the It’s a 10 and relive my ULTA days lol but would also love one that was more of a liquid spray rather than cream so it doesn’t weigh my hair down so much… basically looking for the unicorn of detangling sprays, thank youuuu haha
I have fine hair that tangles easily and kerastase makes one that’s really good, it’s in the pink bottle
@@omgitsthebeatles yay, thank you! I’ll check it out :)
I enjoyed this video so much, it would be awesome if you do a similar one for skincare. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos, and have a great weekend, Abbey!
I LOVE the its a 10!! It has made my hair soft and shiny! When I started using it I had a head of straw! Lol but I dont like the price at all! But luckily it is lasting well!
I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on Ouai leave in for so long- I’m surprised though- I have really thin hair but it does not weigh down my hair at all- I actually prefer this one over the Pureology one
The it’s a 10 miracle leave in spray is my favorite detangler I’ve ever tried, makes my hair so soft. I’d recommend looking for this product at Marshall’s, tj max, Tuesday morning, one of those kinds of stores cause sometimes they will have them in stock for a reduced price, that’s how I always get mine. At Marshall’s, I found the large $40 bottle for $24, and the bottle is pretty big so it was a great deal
What a great video! Yes to the updated Olaplex video and if you could include updated K18 thoughts.... Even better!
Another fantastic,informative video like always thanks!! Your hair always looks good and in this video it looks a lil toned down which is great for fall!!!
yes interested in an all olaplex video! your videos are hair holy grails for me. wondering if you can include your thoughts on olaplex for virgin hair as well :)
I love your reviews! I really like the way Moroccan oil makes my hair feel. Is there one you would recommend that is similar but more cost efficient?
I love the Dyson supersonic! I have very fine hair and don’t notice that it’s drying at all. I am also frizz prone and my hair has never been so smooth. 🤷♀️
I look forward to an update on Olaplex. That IS it’s own video. 😂 I also found that I ❤ the No 3 when I highlight my hair and it feels damaged. The No 1 should be mixed in every bowl of lightener and color that includes a developer. So it’s very important, but maybe ask your stylist.
I think the air wrap is a good value because of the number of tools you would be replacing. No messy storage and easy to pack. I have a dryer that is shipping to me today. I may like it or be ready to trade up to Dyson or Shark etc. Thanks for linking it and sharing. 😎
Thanks for watching!!
I prefer the Biolage Coconut multi benefit leave in over the It's a 10. Would love if you did a video comparing them and even compared to the Redken Bonding leave in treatment. Thanks for this video!
I just returned that and I move Biolage. Made my hair very heavy. 😊
@@lexijones8019which one made your hair heavy? 👀
My 40 dollar Conair SmoothWrap is hands down the best blow dryer I have ever used. It's fast and gentle and kills my frizz. It's my go to for rough drying even when I style with my Shark flexstyle.
Amazing video which I am watching for a second time! So much great info! Using Pureology Strength Cure and will try the Hydrate. In addition a half hour before washing hair a little Verb Moringa Oil or Argan oil. Thank you Abby for reviewing Pureology and for helping me get over my fear of oil!
The Hydrate conditioner is full of essential oils so beware! I feel the peeper mint and rosemary tingling on my skin after I use it. Otherwise, it’s a really nice conditioner.
The hydrate line is better than strength imo. I have fine blonde hair. The strength one just tangles it and drys it out.
Love your videos! I have learned so much from you. We need a skincare and makeup video like this. Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the review! Move the consistency of your videos. I bought a lot of stuff for my hair (ouai detox shamp, redken acidic line, olaplex 8, etc) thanks to you but i have to say that i love the moroccanoil oil (although i didn't like the smell at first) it looks like my hair are less frizzy and i have less split ends when i use it, also it doesn't feel greasy and heavy at all! So do you think there is an affordable version/dupe of it?
Very informative video, ty for sharing. May I please which gloss are you wearing? The clear one? Beautiful lip combo 💗💗💗
Well i have tried like 15 argan oils and the one that works the best and define the most my hair when straight or curled (it’s natural state) is the moroccanoil, like the best .
I needed this video! I have just invested in a lot of new products based on your recommendations and more info on them gets me so excited! Thank you ❤
i just wanted to say how after using olaplex 3 my hair dry ends are soooo much better. Live in hot climate very hard water and have balayage every 4 months. I am.coming up to 4 months so split ends need trimming but my hair looked dead at the ends. It has made a big difference using olaplex 3 hair looks shinier smoother and hydrated.
I think if you have hair in good condition you won't see a difference but anyone with damaged hair will. olaplex 3 is the only product I would use and possibly 6 for styling.
Hey abbey! Do you like the mielle rosemary line?
PLEASE do the updated thoughts on olaplex!!
Thank you so much for sharing these! It's os hard to narrow things down at the store, it's nice to have someone that's really worked through a full set of products. Appreciate how much time went into testing these!
You need the gentle airflow attachment for the Dyson SuperSonic… it’s a game changer if you have fine hair
Love to see you do your very favorite hair in each category.
I was going to say I would love a deep dive into Olaplex and your updated thoughts... but who am I kidding haha I would just love any video of yours. 🥰
I remember you talking about the pureology leave in conditioner and was able to get it for 50% off on Sephora! Thanks for always sharing your favorites and recs! ❤️
What a good deal 😍
Ur hair is super gorgeous! I know u have lots of questions, but, I hope u can get back to me. IF u would say a shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave in spray, etc, for very damaged, dry, coarse, yet thin, wavy and thinning hair because of breaking off, at the scalp, I truly need ur suggestions. I just need a point to at least try to begin to repair my hair if possible. I really appreciate any tips and appreciate all ur videos! Thx! 👍👍😊😊
Yup! I used to get ‘Its A 10’ for under $10. I was floored at the price inflation. However, I do believe the added keratin is new? I can’t recall.
Personally I love my Dyson hairdryer! I couldn’t live without it. I use it on the coolest setting and it doesn’t seem to dry to my hair out. But I do also use Moroccan oil religiously so maybe that’s why my hair doesn’t feel dry!
One of the holiday Sephora Favorites boxes this year is their "Ultimate Holiday Hair Hydration" box which sells for $39 and, along with a good variety of minis of other quality hair products, contains a full-size of the Amika The Kure (which on its own costs $38). I jumped on this deal without even knowing much about some of the products such as The Kure. Your video confirmed this was indeed a great pre-holiday gift to myself!
What do you think of the conditioner? It has a lot of bad reviews so I was skeptical of buying that hair kit...but curious to try that Amika conditioner
@@kaylan2083 Haven't tried it yet. The box arrived only two days ago.
Yesss looks like such a good one!
Yes please! A skincare video
I watch all your videos. I too have really, really thick long hair but fine hair; however I let my hair go gray over Covid. I love it. I know a lot of products can make gray hair brassy/yellow.
Also my gray hair is dry and has been shedding so been alternating between Aveda Invati and Zenagen Revolve shampoos and their related products $$$$. Know probably not your audience but I’d love it if u did a video on gray hair products for dryness that aren’t yellowing and products for hair shedding.
I’ve had my Dyson hair dryer for years and I’ve never noticed my hair being dry. I have fine hair and not a lot of it. To be fair I only dry my hair once maybe twice a week and it’s almost dry before I do so. I looked up the Amika hair dryer and it had some horrible reviews on how it breaks so quickly. Any thoughts on that? I’d love a video on hair dryers. Your hair care videos have completely changed my hair and one of my daughters. Still have one daughter with fine long straight non damaged hair that is sooo oily. Nothing works to help. Probably her pre-teen hormones.
I have fine, thin hair that tangles and I figured out a way that I like to use the Olaplex 6 without it being too heavy on my hair. I put a small amount of the Olaplex in my hand and then mix it with a couple sprays of the Pureology Color Fanatic spray and/or the Redken One United spray and then work it in. I feel that I get all the benefits from the cream and the spray(s) and it's not heavy.
