[@karikelly2797]

😊 Many years ago, people used to read the news from mass printed sheets of paper that were delivered to your house everyday (it was called a “newspaper”). Back then, subscribers of this newspaper could send letters in the mail to the newspaper and ask for advice on a number of different personal or social topics ranging from light to sad or controversial. As a way to respond to requests like these, various writers around the country were hired by the newspaper to read these mailed-in questions and then answer them by publishing them in the newspaper. This created a human interest themed section of the newspaper called an “Advice Column” (because newspaper articles were formatted in columns). One of the most famous advice columnists was a lady named Abby Van Buren who would publish both the questions and also her responses to them. Her responses became very famous and that well-known column was called “Dear Abby”. If you call your series of videos “Dear Abbey”, it would be very familiar to many in my age bracket and quite a bit catchier than “What would Abbey do?”. Just an idea.😊

For myself, I was on Differin for 5 years and my skin never looked good. It just didn’t tolerate it well. Once I switched to tretinoin, my redness, itchiness and flakiness went away. It was so much gentler than Differin for me. I can use it on bare skin whereas I could never use Differin on my bare skin or more than 3 days per week.

TheraGun has the TheraFace which has red-light therapy in addition to the massaging. It also has Blue light therapy!!! I got it as a Xmas gift and it’s been awesome. It also does the low-level infrared. My husband got me the heat and cold attachments as well. I usually use the heat on my hands when they hurt, but the cool feels AMAZING, especially over a sheet mask if you are super hot or otherwise need the soothing.

Please please please review the Ethique Shampoo Bars! They have tons for every hair type including sulfate free or ones that have suflates (so literally options for everyone!).

scalp could also be itchy because it is dry, the weather, etc. some people might need to try using an oil like jojoba oil, castor oil, etc to massage into their scalp once a week or as needed.

[@jeanneranee]

Thank you! I would LOVE to know what drugstore and high-end purple shampoo you recommend for thick, coarse hair texture. I’ve tried looking through many of your past videos, but am not having any luck. When it comes to hair I trust your recommendations. I have very hard water and use color wow dream filter as a pre-shampoo then purple shampoo a couple of times a week to keep the brassy/rusty color out of my hair. I pay a lot of money for my hair color and want to use the correct products for my situation. I love watching your videos, you are so knowledgeable about hair!! Thank you.

Hi Abbey! Love your videos! ❤ Just had a question, how do you tell the difference between hair breakage and new hair growth?🥹

[@ahmoseh3718]

New hairs have a pointy end when they emerge from the scalp. A broken hair is usually blunt or has a split end.

[@kaylan2083]

I think it's important in your videos when you rave about Tretinoin that you disclose you are on oral pill Spironolactone. I was on both for about a year and a half and Spiro is what made my skin perfectly clear. I eventually got off because I didn't want the fertility risks and did not like that it is a diuretic. My periods were so irregular and I could go months without getting a period and I would never know when I'd get my period. Now that I'm off of it, my periods are very regular. Spiro is also one of the top drugs for trans people 😬 (it greatly affects our hormones). *So I think it's important to disclose this often if you're talking about what saved your skin.* It is dishonest to say a topical product or skincare routine saved your skin when you're taking a prescription hormone medication. Spiro is a bandaid. It does not cure acne. It changes your hormones while taking it but does nothing permanent. My skin was perfect and I produced less oil while taking it, but as soon as I got off of it my oil production increased and I am still prone to breakouts. I use Tretinoin 0.05% but it is still not perfect.

[@JS-pb2gz]

Thank you for this comment!! I'm avoiding Spiro bc I already have low blood pressure. Every topical retinoid causes issues for me no matter how I apply it. I see ppl with perfect skin raving about tret and get so frustrated with my skin. I'll def keep in mind that a lot of these tret success stories leave out the oral meds.

[@kaylan2083]

@@JS-pb2gz yep! You're welcome. Spiro oral meds are very strong. It fundamentally changed my oil production. It is a complete bandaid. Does nothing long-term to fix or address the root issue of acne.

[@JS-pb2gz]

@@kaylan2083 Exactly. I get why some ppl take it temporarily if the acne is really painful or causing scarring. But thankfully I'm not at that point so it's just not worth the side effects.

[@KaraB1353]

I can't help but correct some misinformation here. Spironolactone does NOT have fertility risks. No you should not take it if you're pregnant or trying to be, but it does not effect the ability to be down the road. It is the exact same with tretinoin. My periods became more regular with spironolactone. Side effects are not the same for everyone. For some people who took spironolactone for a long time, their acne didn't come back after stopping. The two people I personally know who took it both told me it cured acne for them. Again it is not the same for everyone. I say all of this with nothing but kindness, just wanted to share my two cents.

[@KaraB1353]

@@JS-pb2gz Have you considered topical spironolactone or Winlevi (clascoterone)? Topical Spiro you can only get from compounding pharmacies but a dermatologist or doctor should be able to prescribe clascoterone. It is a topical anti-androgen.

Hi, Abbey. Your international fans here. If you have time, could you try &honey brand hair oil and haircare range, the brand is from Japan. Would love to hear your review on this products.

[@MissZo18]

Hi Abbey, I need help! I've been blonde for 4 maybe 5 years now and I've noticed a steady decline in how much hair I have and it does not grow longer than under my shoulder blades without having too much breakage and split ends. I have naturally black, fine/thin hair so I never had tons of hair but I feel as though I have less than half of what I did when I first went blonde. I always took decent care of my hair, not over-washing, doing oil treatments, olaplex (now ive switched to K18 for the past 8 months because of you) but I've never really felt any improvement in my hair. I recently decided to give it even more effort and bought more of your recommendations in the recent sephora sale (amika mask, living proof treatment), as well as following your instructions on how to wash the hair properly, and continued doing prewash oil and maintenance K18. I guess what I want to ask is, how much more time should I give my hair to improve and grow longer before I give up on being blonde and go back to natural black? I really do prefer blonde on me so much but I don't think its worth it if I barely have any hair left... I am just very discouraged. Some advice would mean a lot from you! Love u!

[@jafrinjeba1181]

Hello, Can you please help me to clear my confusion about teritonin, is there any kind of side effects of teritonin if I use it for long time?

[@7845flower]

Loved this! How do you fit in exfoliating treatments when doing tretinoin/retinol/retinal every night? Does tretinoin make your skin not need to exfoliate? I want to move up to using retinol every night, but my skin needs exfoliation at least 2x per week. And I use vitamin c in the morning, so I don’t think I should exfoliate then?

[@tomjones2157]

Retinol products increase cell turnover so they are already providing some exfoliation. It's up to you whether you think it's enough?

[@plc4900]

Itchy scalp is a common sign of stress or anxiety, according to my doctor. If it doesn't constantly itch or doesn't seem to be a reaction after using a product, then you may want to see if it correlates to how you're feeling.

[@judiness101]

I've literally never heard this. They also used to think that stress cause stomach ulcers and we now know it's false. I mean if stress makes you sweat it could make your scalp itchy because it's damp, but that's a stretch.

⁠@@judiness101 Stress doesn’t directly cause ulcers, but indirectly it can cause more stomach acid which can result in ulcers in some people.
