How I Grew Long Healthy Hair After Chopping It Off! How To Grow Long Hair - Hair Growth Tips

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!

[@natasa3412]

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

Such a compliment

[@Pauline_Chin]

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.

[@moonbyeol9130]

I would flood my kitchen trying to wash my hair there. How do you do it?

[@AbbeyYung]

Great tip! Yes I also flip my head upside down when I shower- helps a lot

[@Lisatheecologist]

if your shower is big enough you can sit on the floor

[@Pauline_Chin]

@@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.

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!

[@aliceNürenb2991]

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.

[@Rebecca640]

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

[@shraddhanikhil]

​@@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😢

[@internationalsuperspy._.3610]

What aside from k18 helped you the most?

[@jessicakitteh]

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

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!

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.

[@roekinn]

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.

[@at136]

I use coconut oil to remove my makeup and then wash my face. It’s perfectly fine for me.

[@thekennek]

I have low porosity hair so coconut oil just weighs my shit down flat to the point it looks oily. I avoid it

[@reverenddaffodil9724]

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?

[@buckyyyb]

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

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.

[@alisueblogs9029]

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.

[@sarahwarman3200]

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 ❤

[@maimona1272]

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 ❤️

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.

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 😊

What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing! I would like to know more about your colour. Absolutely love it!! 💞

[@connie6410]

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 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!😝

[@nicolebernstein7537]

You are so appreciated. I really needed to hear how to get my hair health back. Thank you for everything that you do and share. ❤

[@CaseyRichardson-o6i]

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?

[@ZeeTene]

Great tips! I will be trying some of these products. Thanks

[@FreeToEatLife]

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!

[@Kat-dn7ji]

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

[@sherrymak6265]

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🙏?

[@catherineanderson9035]

Love this, any possible way you could do a drugstore version?

Thank you for reviewing all of your successful tips that have definitely led to healthy hair! Could you please list the heat protectant sprays you use on DRY hair? Thank you so much😍😍

[@Ingealexandrovna]

I’ve followed your recommendations for years and have had great results

[@jamiecrockett4864]

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.

[@juliecramer7768]

Well if you look better in chin length just consider that your answer. You may just have to do you.

[@lsjvbrt4455]

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 😊

[@darnitthelma4247]

Def squeeze the hair out gently

[@xojasberry90]

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?

[@_denizay]

Hi Abbey! I want to follow your recommendations and try the products but most of the brands are not cruelty free. Can you do a video of cruelty free alternatives for your favorites? Thank you

[@rosemarybanks7980]

Thank you so much for this guide Abbey. Excited to see my own transformation!

[@kimmiescarlettbeauty7887]

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

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??

[@Royalbliss206]

I always wait for it to dry because wet is wet.🤷

[@slktoslm]

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.

[@Just_Kirsty]

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.

[@christinahamlin2381]

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 😊

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

[@yuliache5136]

Abbey, you mentioned wet-to-dry blowout brushes to be one of the worst breakage culprits in this video. Do you feel the same way about the regular salon-style blowout on a round brush? I’ve never tried a two-in-one brush/dryer, so maybe there is more to it? As a wavy girl, learning how to blow dry my hair at home on the medium heat/flow was a game changer. My cuticle is smooth and the hairstyle is just perfect till the next wash (4-6 days).

[@HollieThompson-g3l]

I’d like to know too. I have the Dyson and have been using the round brush head 🤦🏼‍♀️I used to use a round brush with a regular hair dryer, it’s hard to adjust to the Dyson.

[@kcc879]

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.

[@katec5105]

Such a fan of your channel! Thank you for all this info!

[@genevievemarie_]

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!

[@AbbeyYung]

Great idea!

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. 😊

[@kelianegonzales4187]

One of my biggest struggles when it comes to my hair, is how I wear it during my work day. I’m a dental assistant and work with aerosols all day long. I usually put my hair in a bun to keep my hair out of my face (and my patient’s face), but doing that 8 hours a day 5 days a week tends to really wear out my hair. What would you recommend when it comes to my work day?

[@katrinarose445]

Can you try some braids? Like French or German?

[@jayschaff]

I’m a dental assistant as well and have the same struggle - I try to use a silk hair scrunchi and do a loose low pony or braid/braids

[@Mb2IseeU]

I’m a dentist and I wear a scrub cap. Amazon has some now that are satin lined. Protects my hair from the gross over spray of the hand piece so I don’t have to shampoo every day. Bonus…. I don’t worry about bad hair days any longer.

Hello Abby First of all thank you so much for doing this very detailed video. As you were telling your story you opened my eyes about some things I was doing wrong in my routine and wondering why the products are not working. The part of leave-in treatments to be exact. Because I have long, fine hair I was using leave in product in my hair BUT I was not coating my hair properly as you said and I woke up with some split ends on one side of my hair more pronounced than the other because I was afraid that using more product would weight my hair down although on the bottle it says words like ' light weight' and " for fine hair". Now after I listened to you and saw the way you apply your leave in products , I will start to apply them diligently on my hair as well to seal my ends better and prevent split ends as much as possible to preserve my length. One more time thank you so much for all the informations you brought to us ❤❤❤❤

[@naviproductions]

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

[@dalaneyives7531]

Can you make a video of you using all these products and in the order you use them……please and thank you!!

How do you feel about the new(ish) Dyson air straight? It is a wet to dry styling tool. Thank you! Love your videos!

[@tracyc.1005]

Loved the video! I just got my hair highlighted for the first time in over 20 years (I am older and have more grays). My stylist didn't use bleach but I also didn't get the ash brown color that I asked for instead I got reddish brown so back to the drawing board. I will start pre-treating with oil as you suggested and using hair clips. Even though we have completely different hair types, I am African American with type 4 hair, I find your videos helpful since I keep my hair straight via flat ironing. I also have fine hair but a food amount of it.

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
