5 Things I'd Never Do To My Hair Again...

[@cthulhuuhoop]

Hair training as well as scalp oiling caused me to have SEVERE dermatitis that lead to horrendous hair fall. I went to a dermatologist and learned I simply needed to wash more after using a prescribed shampoo for 8 weeks. I also started following you and started implicating your other tips. I now have tailbone length, healthy hair. thank you for all that you do in pursuit of hair science!🙏 😊

[@anon0268]

Yeah, “hair training” was a buzz-word.

[@vannessacrispin5140]

What is hair training?

[@justmeiam4996]

​@@vannessacrispin5140that's a phrase for people with dry scalp who can prolong the time between washes.If you have oily scalp you need to wash more often otherwise you might get scalp issues - I wash every other day and I tried that nonsense of hair training (I washed only 2x a week instead of 3-4x)and no sulphates and my hair started to fall out like crazy bc my scalp wasn't properly clean.Not to mention the itchy scalp 🙈

[@justmeiam4996]

​@@vannessacrispin5140it's that you wash your hair less- it works if you have dry scalp.Lets say instead of every other day,you wash every 3rd day and after while the hair should get oily less quickly.Oily scalp needs washing more often (and SLS)otherwise it's not clean properly and you might risk hair loss and scalp issues.I had both 😑🙈

[@sydneyh2118]

I had the same thing happen. It was horrible. Washing less often is not right for everyone

[@Jennifer-kt4to]

Can you do a series on hair coloring? I’ve never had to color my hair but I know the day is coming and I know nothing about it. It’s like a foreign language. I’d like to know what to ask the hair stylist… for someone with dark brown hair who will eventually need to hide grays. Or maybe do a video with a hair colorist? Thanks!

[@amyhuston4261]

I'd also like for you to talk about using henna as a hair dye. I've been using henna; it gives a beautiful magenta hue and is a natural plant. From what I understand, it's actually good for your hair.

[@JonEllis-o1q]

@@amyhuston4261 what brand?

[@phigmentor]

Y’know, I’m just going to put it out there that you don’t have to color your hair- gray is beautiful too. Do you, obviously!! Beautiful is how you feel. I’ve been salt n’ pepper since my late teens. After years (and literal thousands of dollars), I just embraced the gray. And it looks great. And my hair is healthier.

[@mackenziex3axl]

I’m a dark brunette who started going gray at age 12 (early greys runs in the family) I get balayage done like once or twice a year. I try not to get too much bleach done so I’ll go in for root touch ups or just my natural color all over, the balayage helps blend the gray hair

[@amyhuston4261]

@phigmentor You are 100% right! Gray is beautiful and works on people more than they realize. My gray is more on the back of my head so I don't see it. I just use the henna to have some color. One day, I will embrace the gray!

[@jlb1993]

Could you do a detangling video, with emphasis on reducing breakage while brushing? Like if it's better to detangle hair wet or dry, what products to use, the best brushes, and proper technique. Also, tips for impatient girlie's who just want to rip their hair out with the brush.

[@AbbeyYung]

Will add to my list!!

[@mvwkout5714]

Yes please!

[@zigzung]

yes please I have fine hair and my hair tangles ALL THE TIME, it is certainly most of the reason why my hair doesn't grow

[@daen.t.609]

This!

[@arianablum7272]

Yes please. I feel like my hair is so damaged bc it’s so hard to detangle and it keeps breaking but i really dont do anything damaging to it. Ive never colored it, never used any keratin or other salon chemical treatments, and I heat style verrry rarely on special occasions (like weddings or big events) and its always done by a professional stylist if i do (im not good at doing it myself- it just winds up making me look like cousin it lol). My hair is curlyish/wavy- but it’s more frizz than curl honestly and it tangles so easily! I cant brush it dry so i guess that contributes but i sleep on a satin pillowcase and im not rough with it. I’d love for some tips to make it more manageable and cause less breakage.

[@sovrappensiero1]

I’m 10 yrs older than you, so I remember when “sulfates are evil” messaging started. It started with curly hair (and I have curly hair so I was very early on the bandwagon). Absolutely brands are going to start (or rather, go back to) using proper shampooing agents. There’s this complex dance between brand marketing and consumer demands…we danced our way to shampoos that don’t cleanse, and now we’ll just dance our way back LOL.

[@mermelody]

Thank you for being real with this video and not acting like those influencers or hair stylist I see on TikTok all the time who just feel like they have this moral superiority, and demonize things like coloring or using heating tools on your hair, and who says that basically you can't have amazing hair if you do any of those things, because it is a fact people use them, and will keep using them! I am someone who uses heating tools because I personally prefer how I look with straight or wavy hair rather than with my natural curls (and yes, before anyone says anything, I've tried the CGM, and I know how to style my curls, I just don't like it on me personally), so it's nice to see for once someone say that you can still have beautiful, healthy hair even when coloring your hair or using heat

[@AbbeyYung]

Of course!! I will never not color or use heat... just not my journey 😂

[@laur83]

i colour my hair and use heat. as long as i’m still taking care of it it can look great!

[@ariadnitsigou8162]

Abby please review the Kerastase premiere line!! We need more recommendations in Europe!! Most of the products you love are not available here😢

[@elin_]

I agree about wanting more recommendations available in Europe. Kerastase just feels like glorified L'Oréal.

[@AbbeyYung]

ahhh dang! I will xx

[@Broadwaydust]

As a hairstylist who’s tried ALOT of products for bonding strength the Kerastase line is very good! The hair mask is 10/10 especially, as well as the serum. But id reccomend trying the whole series out, maybe ask a salon if you can have your hair washed there with the products to feel the difference ❤️ it’s my favourite series along with the Redken acidic bonding and the k18 😊

[@PegsGarden]

I am new to your channel and I have curly hair, I am so happy you are talking about washing more often, because in the curly community it is such a big thing to go days and days without washing while putting on more products, I never followed the curly girl method because it didn't work for me with having hard water I wash my hair every day and my hair loves it and I feel clean and fresh, I just learned to use a minimum amount of products to make my morning routine simple, it takes me max maybe 15 minutes, I use the Pantene curly line and clarify once a week with Pantene volume and body followed by a deep conditioner once a week.

I would love to see a coconut oil video update including addressing controversies behind it! Many people with healthy and low porosity hair find it does make the hair healthier yet more prone to build up. Also interested to know if coconut oil is a good substitute for bond repair treatments!

[@doeeyes2]

Thats OGx Coconut oil detroys my hair... it dried it out so bad. I prefer just using Argan Oil or Jojoba Oil.

[@ducklingscap897]

How would an oil be a substitute for a hair repair treatment? Like do you even know what the products are doing? An oil is coating your hair, it is not chemically changing your hair structure like a hair repair treatment. How is that even a question?

[@FaceItGrace]

@@ducklingscap897 of course I know oil can't chemically repair the hair, but Abbey does say coconut oil helps to prevent damage from happening. Coconut oil can help prevent protein loss, hence prevent damage.

I’ve been watching since you were in your old (pre Chicago) apartment but still in MI ☺️ I remember when you were still a believer in hair scalp training. I was pretty sure it wasn’t a thing, but I didn’t have the chutzpah to dispute it. You’ve come SO FAR, since! As others have said, my hair has improved so much by using your advice and expertise. So I thank you very much.!!!!

[@AbbeyYung]

Leaps & bounds in the hair science knowledge department since my early KZbin days 😂 Thank you so much for being here since then!! I'm so happy to hear that 🥰

For what it's worth, I'm really glad you're feeling better. And you truly do have gorgeous hair.

[@AbbeyYung]

Aww thank you so much!

[@katetaylor8627]

As someone who used to watch you about 4 years ago for a few years and then stopped (I started a different job and wasn’t able to listen to KZbin as much as I did when I was a driver) this is literally life changing 😂 I learned all of my hair care routines from you as I never had anyone to teach me and I was just learning to take better care of myself after being on a very strict religious program. This is all very good information. Even though I wasn’t watching your videos, a few of these things I just learned organically but my favorite thing about you is that you’re so honest and humble with us. You give us the best information that you have available to you right now. I used to be one of the first to watch all your new videos and I am excited that I have so many to catch h up on!! Thank you so much for being a trailblazer and doing so much work to help us out, your amazing Abbey!❤

[@sovrappensiero1]

Also I love the bite-size talking videos! I think it’s a great way to diversify your channel, mixing in lower-effort content so that you can make the longer videos without burning out or (alternatively) your channel losing traction.

[@AbbeyYung]

Agreed! I have been trying to think through ways to prevent the burnout that is just always present and this helped for sure last week. Thanks for the thoughtful comment 😊

Could you do a video on if lightening with high lift color and high volume is better for hair integrity than bleach and low volume developer? Just more on us blonde who want to lighten or highlight! I like something cooler toned because it suits my skin tone more. Worried high lift would make me quite warm?

[@solfuela1393]

Was just asking myself the same question. I'm a soft summer and prefer neutral cool tones. High lift tints do come with cooler shades, they might not turn out as cool though. Depends on your natural hair, but you could still tone it afterwards.

[@heathermccuin9555]

I have tried highlift blonde with 30 and 40 volume to go from a level 6 to a lighter blonde (an 8 would be nice). But it was so brassy because it lifted just enough to expose the orange and yellow pigments in my hair. Currently I use 10 volume with cream lightener and it lifts to a 9/10, past the orange stage. I still need toner afterwards. I wish there was formula that could lift my color from a 6 to an 8 or 9, but give a permanent beige, neutral or ash tone. Because I love a clean-feeling scalp, I wash every other day and toner only lasts 3 weeks.

[@AvonleaLisa]

I'm all for deep cleansing, but am VERY thankful for the brands that are sulfate-free. Sulfates trigger horrific migraines for me, so while I don't find them damaging for my hair, I avoid them like the plague. I just have to find other methods to deep-clean.

What do you use?! I’m thinking my hair loss rn is due to sulfates and stress. I already have an allergy towed sodium laurel sulfate so

[@AvonleaLisa]

@@bringontherainbows8369 An apple cider vinegar rinse before shampooing has worked great for me - and it doesn't leave my hair smelling like vinegar. I use half vinegar, half water. There is also a brand called Routine that gives me a really good cleanse without having any sulfates. It's expensive, but it works well.

[@Michelle_Zoe_Wal]

Thank you for the hair training admission. I have said for years and years; if hair training (which is scalp) were real, people with an oily face would "train" their face to not be oily. Oil glands are oil glands, and the way they produce oil is innate -- not trained. Believe me. I have had oily skin (with severe acne) and oily hair my whole life, and I am 56. The smell of people's "trained" hair when it hasn't been washed for days makes me want to puke when I am in line behind them at the grocery or a department store. Yuck!

I didn't use shampoo for five years. Lots of conditioner, lots of rubbing, lots of rinsing, and my hair looked great. BUT i had to "wash" it almost every day and stay away from silicones. With actual shampoo with sulfates I can wash twice a week instead and use silicones and it looks great with lots less effort.

Washing my hair with a double shampoo method 2x a week which I got from your channel, has really helped my hair texture and my longevity and frizz. I have wavy frizzy hair that is growing out from previous bleach damage and dye processing. I used to wash one time a week because I don't ever get oily, just dry, but my dryness and dandruff (non-medically diagnosed) has been improved majorly because of shampooing more often and more thoroughly. I am not saying I will never ever process my hair again but for now I am avoiding bleach like the plague and I dyed my hair once in early August and I don't want to process it again until about a year from now.

I use a regular shampoo or depends on my needs and wash it at least 2 times until I feel the oil is gone. I have to wash my hair daily. I also use one shampoo from the pharmacy that is for dandruff, oily hair, dermatitis and very itchy hair and it does wonders. I don't understand who washes hair once a week and not very often. My hair falls off from all the oil and if I don't dry my hair after the shower it does the same, falls a lot for being wet and causes a lot of breakage. It's common sense. On the other hand I know people with dry hair have other needs and who has curls too and goes on... My condolences for the girls that don't have hairdressers that are knowledge on how to work on curly hair :') I am lucky tho but I had these ladies telling me that ohh don't wash your haiiirrrr so muchhhh.

I’d love to hear your take on various Japanese hair care products? they are very much trending right now and i’d love to hear your opinions on them all (shampoos and conditioners and hair masks like the fino one….etc). Love you tons! I found your videos a week ago and i have been on a serious binge haha on tiktok and youtube both ❤️💕

I recently went to a dermatologist and she said my hair is genetically prone to damage and there's nothing I can do about it. I suffer from hair thinning and severe breakage. I've noticed my hair breaks prematurely, it’s dry strawlike, and frizzy. But I've noticed the inner parts of my hair and my baby's hair are soft and much healthier than the outer parts. Please help me. I've tried everything from high-end to drug stores. I don't even use heat on my hair. So I no longer know whats the problem is.

I love how much knowledge and info you share.... I will say though...maybe make a disclaimer about the type of water people are washing their hair in. I have very hard water in my house. It doesn't matter what shower filter head I use or what products and techniques I use.....my hair is damaged and suffers SO much because of the hard water. It's the worst. It's dry, brittle and I have so much breakage and my hair just feels sad.

[@justmeiam4996]

There are many videos about hard water - Mane by mell - helped me a lot

This was a great 17 minute … integration of so much of your other info you’ve shared. I’ve said it before that sometimes I learn a new thing from a video I’ve watched of yours just because my brain could only hold so much new applicable information at a time. This contained good reminders and things I already knew from you but it was a pleasant kind of … sanity check that I’m on the right track with what I’m doing. Thanks! Drop your pup’s fur routine next 🤩

Ongoing series....yes, please!

Even though your hair is darker now does not mean the bleached, damaged hair is not still there, it is , it's just growing out under the colour. I know as my hair was bleached too and although still very long, has now grown out, this took almost 5 years and i did the same with my natural blond colour as you. I now have my natural hair and no colour at all, the change in condition is amazing. Good luck growing the rest of your bleach out.

Love to hear from you always... long videos are also welcoming 😃 bcz your hair care tips are very important to us ❤

[@sandymacnab3981]

Went to the drugstore to buy Dove shampoo and conditioner based on your recommendation. Holy cow! There were so many different types! I have fine curly hair and could not find anything specific so I walked out empty handed after about 45 minutes. So confusing. Would love you to add hair advice, keeping in mind different types of hair.

[@spastrana2392]

would love to see your current hair care routine!

[@sueannwhitman5675]

Can you explain protein overload in hair and how do you know if you have it?

[@summersadie3687]

Really appreciate you sharing your journey to healthy hair, including mistakes made along the way 🙂 As my white/gray roots need to be colored every 5 weeks, I would appreciate any suggestions for lessening damage. I have discussed a "high lift tint" with my stylist but we both thought the end result would be too warm for my skin tone. Any suggestions?

[@Zoe-cs7ho]

Why does your hairstylist use 40 volume? It is 12% peroxide and seems very extreme for you with such a light dark blonde-ish base color. That is the strongest developer available. It is typically for people with hair that is resistant to color. Just wondering....

[@solfuela1393]

Maybe there were instances of orange results with 30 volume developer on some clients and thats why..

[@erika_ebent]

Abbey have you tried the Epres shampoo and conditioner!? Would love to hear your thoughts!!

[@Mercedes-h4b]

COULD YOU DO RESEARCH ON CURLY HAIR?

[@debw2635]

would you post a video that shows your favorite heat treatment. also your favorite shampoo that makes your hair most fluffy and not weighed down?

[@maseylin]

I honestly love your hair color now. It looks natural

[@MariaGonzalez-mj4qs]

I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative and I learn a lot from you. Can you do a series on gray hair. I decided to stop coloring my hair and I have a lot of grays. The product combination I’m using sometimes don’t work very well and I’m looking to find new products.

[@randrews7198]

Love the video! Do you ever plan to go to a shorter cut?

[@OGCLIN]

Could you do a video about potential topical allergens in some hair products? I thought I was having a major hormonal issue, or that my hair was falling out due to dying it, etc. - went to the doctor and they said I was fine. I was using a bond-repair shampoo, condition, etc. system (one that you recommend in one of your videos, the L'oréal one), and my hair was falling out in almost clumps - finally I ended up doing a full panel allergy test, and turned out I had a topical allergy to citric acid, and the bond repair treatment was what was making my hair fallout! After a much-hated short cut to mitigate the thin hair, it's 2 years later and finally growing out - but these kinds of allergies are not talked about enough! I went through so much to find that answer - and now you can get these allergy panels as at-home tests through several options also! Would be so good for some awareness around potential allergens in case people react badly to them - you're not alone! ❤

'Girl it's not the sulphates it's the bleach' cracked me up ❤ xxxx

[@fc-oh9dq]

I prefer the sulphate shampoo for cleansing but with hard water it seems to coat my hair nd scalp when it foams with the hart water and I then can’t get my conditioner or hair mask to penetrate should I just switch to sulphate free or any non lather shampoo ?

[@justmeiam4996]

Try a chelation shampoo - that's a stronger shampoo than detox shampoo the pH is higher.I had the same problem as you.On KZbin " Mane by mell" she talks about it quite often.Redken clean cream is good.Cheap option is shampoo with citric acid or EDTA or apple cider vinegar- apparently tressemme detox shampoo is apparently a very good one,I don't have it in my country.

[@fc-oh9dq]

@@justmeiam4996 thanks so much

[@justmeiam4996]

@@fc-oh9dq hope ut helps - I used to do a diy treatment with regular dish soap and lemon - it's amazing but strips everything out of your hair,not really for bleach blond's or some very expensive and unique colors.If you want the recipe let me know

[@xtina-ah]

I’d love to know how to find a hairstylist and what to ask for? I love the natural looking blonde

[@DanielleBrumley-e5p]

Would love to watch a series on this! How long do you leave the oil in your hair before a shower? Do you put it in over night or is it more like 10 min before your shower? Thanks!

[@lilyortega8304]

Over lapping bleach is a no no

[@edena2769]

You are so gorgeous, and your hair is absolutely stunning! You helped me sooo much with my hair. Thank you ❤

[@nataliejenner3318]

It's so true we have been conditioned (no pun intended) to believe all sulfates are bad. I think haircare is making strides with improving formulas so they're not as harsh and stripping so we can feel good about using them. As someone with naturally curly hair who got into the curly method a little but have since tailored it to suit my hair's needs, the method pretty much dictates to not use sulfates. That's pretty unrealistic for a curly girl like myself and others who often use a variety of stylers throughout the week and need a deep cleanse with a clarifying shampoo with sulfates to remove the buildup. New subscriber and I'm really liking your content.
