Thank you for including all the nitty gritty details. These are the kind of things that often get forgotten or where we are left scratching our heads, but I really appreciate that you include the tiny details :) like the mini hair clips breaking easily, and the comparison between the 2 leave ins!
I loved the hair tips of course, but I especially loved the very last part where you shared that you are in such a better place that you COULD do the video now. Actually brought tears to my eyes because there is no better feeling than looking back to when things were dark and knowing you've dug yourself out of it.
Same 🥹 I was in a similarly difficult place a few years ago and just comparing to how my baseline feels now compared to then is just such a great feeling. Things may not be perfect but seeing how much you’ve improved feels like a weight off your shoulders
Omg I am literally trying to fight my way out of my own depression and had thought “wow how did she film this, I could never have the follow through for all the check-ins” and then you commented on that at the end, wow ❤ thank you for the hope and empathy
For sleeping, you might do well with putting your hair up like you've been doing, but use a silk scrunchy to keep it up, and possibly a silk sleep bonnet. I'm Caucasian and I have fine hair, but it's 2b curly, and this is how I'm able to keep my curls looking good with minimal upkeep for upwards to a week
Agree, I don't really understand the lack of use of silk products when every single person who talks about growing your hair long uses them. Also I don't get the opposition to braids. Like she said just do a ponytail for the gym when a braid is way more protective
I sleep in a bonnet when it’s cold, but I get really hot during the night and during warmer weather there is no way I can sleep in it. Silk pillowcase and scrunchie are the way to go.
I've tried scrunchies and most pull too much! I also am a really hot sleeper so I can't do anything that fully covers my head- my hair is already like a heating pad I swear 😩
I’ve never been more excited about your video!! You’ve helped me transform my hair to the best it’s ever been!! Love longer videos and with 50min I feel like a kid in a candy store!!!
My biggest hair tip (I read it in Allure) is to apply dry shampoo the night before. It absorbs all the oil your scalp produces overnight, and any cast is gone. If you need to top off in the morning for volume, you can, but I usually don't need to. It looks sooooo much better than applying it in the morning.
Abbey❤ there's nobody I would trust more than you to design a hair accessory for sleeping. It's my number 1 struggle with being able to go more than 2 days without washing 🙏
I'm so glad I found Epres through you, it has totally transformed my hair! I've been using it every week and my frizz is basically gone and my hair is shinier. I've honestly seen a bigger difference with it over k18 and living proof bond repair. ❤❤❤
I’m so excited for the brush video. I need to know the best brush for wet detangling and dry hair brushing. Currently using a wet brush and my hair is breaking so much. I’m convinced it’s the wet brush. I trust Abbey’s recommendations and I’m excited to try the brushes she suggests.
I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I’ve been so curious! Your hair is AMAZING! And honestly a goal to get back to such luxurious hair! I lost a lot of hair two years ago due to stress and hormones and I found your videos middle of last year. I’ve been working towards healthy hair and I’m so grateful for your help!
If you come out with sleep hair accessories, I will buy it the second it is released. not that this is a big pain point in my life, but just knowing how much of a perfectionist you are, it will surely be a game changer
I tried the Pantene Volume and Body Shampoo this week thinking it would be super stripping but worth it for the deep cleanse but OMG it is SO almost slippery feeling and left my hair feeling so soft and smooth and bouncy and not straw like at all
I’ve been looking forward to a video like this!!! Thank you for always delivering INCREDIBLE content 😍 Seriously one of my most favourite creators. Science based tips are so important to me and I adore the lengths you’ve gone to educate yourself!!
I've been following your hair advice now for a while. My hair is definitely healthier than it has likely ever been. Looking forward to watching this now!
Would absolutely LOVE for you to create a better hair sleep situation!! All the same struggles over here! I’m already excited just about the idea itself!
The glycolic gloss treatment is meant to be used after conditioner, as your last rinse-off step :) And it says to leave on for 5 min. They recommend using it after the Glycolic Gloss conditioner, and I have personally gotten great results using it like that, but it probably works with any conditioner!
Great video! Question: Did you rinse out the K18 treatment before you applied the Pureology conditioner or did you just apply the conditioner on top of the K18 treatment?
I'm right there with you for being frustrated over random aches and pains with no specific injury accounting for them. I do have a very physical job though.. I've replaced HIIT workouts with low impact cardio. I really like Olivia Lawson's workout videos, specifically her walking workouts. Although it feels like I'm barely doing anything since I'm not drenched in sweat and my heart rate doesn't get as elevated compared to HIIT workouts, my joints appreciate it. And you're still moving your body as opposed to sitting on the couch. It is frustrating having to adjust your workouts compared to when you were in your teens or 20s, but that's something everyone goes through unfortunately. Just make sure you do rule out a medical condition accounting for your issues of course.
I am in MN for a work contract and have been told this is the most abnormal MN winter!😂 the constant weather changing has been such a battle with my hair and skincare products. I don't know if you've heard of it but would love to know your thoughts on the Raw Sugar ACV & Rosemary hair rinse, shampoo alternative. It has been such a game changer for me in extending my full shampoo wash days (I use the Nioxin 1 set for my wash days). It's really affordable and has changed the game for my drier scalp in this climate💕
thank you for everything you share and prepare to show us here! really appreciate you, girl! very glad to learn you're out of a depression state and hope you'll never come back to feeling that way ever again so praying for you! much love!
Helpful to see the reality of going several days without washing.. One question - it seemed like you were holding the curling iron in your hair a really long time. Do you use it at a lower heat setting or is that a nuance of the specific curling iron?
The Zuvi Halo Hair dryer did what the repronizer is supposed to do. It transformed my hair after one use. My hair is so silky, smooth and soft. No product made this before. Before my hair was dry and strawy. It also looks more voluminous now. I don't know what this light does exactly, but it is like a hair treatment ❤ and this redlight or infrared light which comes out of the hair dryer, could be good for hair growth. It looks green but actually it is red.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ♥️♥️ You drop your Haircare routine and Taylor drops a double album. PERFECT WEEK. Thank you Abbey for all your work and dedication ♥️
I'm about to start my hair oiling journey, but have a great bond repair routine already. Girl thanks for all the time it took for you to do this video. I have fine, thin hair and I'm thinking about using a bonnet to sleep in. I usually don't style my hair (other than blow drying) but if i do i will straighten it. Do you recommend putting the hair up somehow to hold it or just put the bonnet on without a scrunchie or something of the kind? Trying to take better care of my hair while I sleep
I always hear you talking about how much you love a clarifying shampoo. I have very, very fine hair that needs to be stripped clean at each wash, or it will be weighed down and frizzy. By far, the best clarifying shampoos I've EVER tried are the Ethique Citrus shampoo bar and the L'Occitane Volume and Force shampoo. You will never go back to Pantene after trying them (I used to use the same Pantene shampoo for a long time, but then I decided to start splurging on hair care and discovered these gems. you will realize that Pantene does, in fact, leave an odd field on your hair. these don't and are perfect) Try them if you can and let me know what you think !!
Please make a night time sleep hair item!!! Also I’ve been waiting for this video so thank you!!! Can you PLEASE do a step by step of exactly how you apply your makeup? Your blush is always amazing!!! I’m even talking like brushes etc the whole process?! Love you girl thank you!!! I pray my hair gets as healthy as yours one day!!
Abby!!! I love the concept of the sleepy tie (silk bonnets fall off or leave imprints in my forehead) but it just doesn't work for me 😭 I have a ton of super long fine hair, maybe that's why? But no matter how high I put on my head or follow the directions/ watch videos it flops down and pulls - forget about even caring about preserving my hair style, just trying to find a comfy protective style for my hair while sleeping. I'd loooove to see what you can come up with. Even the two baby clips in a high bun trick changed everything. Thanks for all you do to educate people on their hair 🙏🏻
Hi Abbey! I'm thinking about getting the K18 mask, but i'm confused isn't supposed to be a leave in mask? I've been binge watching your videos trying to decide what to get 🙃
Have you tried the L’Oreal everpure in shower acidic glossing spray? I love that stuff. You apply after shampoo but before conditioner. It’s truly transformative.
Hi! I know this is an older video. Have you ever tried the “spiral bobbi pins” to secure your sleep updo. They work so well for me! Also, I’m surprised you didn’t mentioned a satin pillow. Alternately maybe a satin scarf can just cover your bun. Like a mini “bun bonnet” that way you get benefits of a bonnet. But it’s not as hot/humid. Because bonnets can definitely feel a bit too confined/humid with them covering the entire head
Have you tried a sleeping bonnet or silk scarf for sleeping? I pile my curls on top of my head and loosely wrap my head with a silk scarf. Keeps my hair contained and preserves the curls really well.
Yes!! Mini jaws clips! I use these ALL the time for ALL my styles. They're amazing. You can do looser versions of many styles and they hold them very well. Fantastic for avoiding breakage. Although yes, they do break for me, too 😅... which is why I have so many of them.
Have you tried a satin bonnet? I have a couple from Always Covered, but I know there are a bunch of other brands. It has an adjustable elastic band that is flat, and I low-key love it. I usually use to to go to sleep, but can be used whenever. I put my hair in a loose ponytail to get it in and situated, then smush it up so that I can pull the ponytail out while it's inside of the bonnet. I actually really love it. For context, my husband who is from Guyana got me into using one since he was thinking that I was having a lot of breakage in my hair. And I try to use bonnets on my two daughters who are mixed. They usually end up coming off in the middle of the night, but still trying.
You’re right about the bouncier curl with horizontal holding of barrel. If holding it vertical you should get a little more of that beach undone wave style curl. There are exceptions depending on how big the barrel, how much hair you use, how thick or dense the hair is… it can change the look slightly but over all you’re 💯 right about having a bouncier more voluminous curl this way (my personal favorite too) just wish my hair was longer so I could enjoy the look that you get! I’m trying! I’m following your routine to the tee! I’m almost finished with hair school and tell everyone at school and clients about the information I’ve learned and use from you! You’re an honorary cosmetologist on top of being a trichologist! Haha
Hey Abbey, love your content - your tips have transformed my dry brittle hair. I hit the beach a lot in the summer - would love to know if you have any tips to protect hair when you’re swimming in saltwater? Should I coconut oil before I go (given that I’m definitely going to wash my hair when I get back)?
What brands of hair tools do you recommend? I’ve started my journey of taking more care of my hair, but I also want to learn to stylize it in the way… can you recommend any? 😁
This may be a ridiculous question, but do you use hairspray of any kind? Or blow out cream or gel? My curl would NOT stay the hour, much less DAYS! Just found you today so you may have answered this in another video! Thanks for any insight! And all this took to make to help ladies like me! Smiles, Abby Smith
Thank you for showing what you do during the week! I have heavily processed bleach hair and I’m finally taking care of it so it doesn’t feel damage or straw like. I just sprayed the Epres spray & OGX oil while watching this 😊 and also, my hair too “bounces” back to the curls after I brush it out initially.
let me see if understood correctly, bond treatment before wash K18 during and living proof after? when are you doing oil? next wash? like in between? thank you im learning a lot from you and def my hair is getting better 😘
I know how much you love drugstore products so... Just bought the Garnier Fructis Hyalauronic Bonding Shampoo, Conditioner and Curl Gel. I have 2C/3A low porosity fine hair that I bleach so felt like I needed something extra, even though my low p keeps my hair feeling fairly soft most of the time. Anyway...with one use I have hair that's too soft to be 3A! It actually looks a bit like Taylor Swift's hair before the rain and humidity! Not mad about it, but I'm also not mad about it. Kinda liked that I had some spiraling going on. So I obviously won't be using it every wash but I thought if you had some girls out there that want a really nice, softening and hydrating shampoo/cond, this might be a good one to recommend.
the unbrush on amazon was life changing for my tangle prone hair which gets knotted after 5 minutes of leaving it down. can brush it effortlessly even wet.
Yay! Yes you did do it 👏🏽 We love seeing that smile Abbey. You are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for this video. It makes me realize your hair routine is actually not that daunting. It’s quite easy, flexible, and manageable!
Thanks for showing us your routines! It will help me a lot. Also I think that it would be interesting idea to do some kind of ingredients video where you talk about them, like what should we look for in products and what to avoid. If there is any (because I haven't found it yet), I would be grateful if someone could provide the titles of these films. I am from Europe so most of the time I am not able to try products that you talk about because they are not available in stores and they tend to be more expensive if I would want them to be shipped from other countries.
Thank you for this fantastic content. I don’t know your Chicago story, so happy you are on the other side of a dark period in your life. You seem in your element and I love your channel. I need to get some of your jaw clips!
Maybe silly question, but it didn't end up being quite clear to me... do you always wash your hair after a workout? Or what do you do with your hair after a workout? Thank you for this amazing video... it helps a lot to get ideas what to do in the future with my hair that if very much prone to breakage lately!
Abbey, you are beautiful! We have different hair types (actually polar opposite lol) but your tips have helped me a lot over the last few years. So glad your mental health has improved too- there’s nothing quite like going through a really difficult time and then the pride you feel after emerging from it.
I loved watching this, thank you Abbey! I have a question: does layering heat protection with multiple products increase the overall level of protection (similar to layering products with sunscreen for skin)?
I started to wash my hair once a week again. My hair is soooo dry and damaged. I’ve been using the Alterna bonding products. I love the results! I use dry shampoo on my scalp and brush my hair out. I apply serum and hair oil on my ends everyday and my hair sucks in the products like crazy! I’ve been doing heatless curls. I roll my hair in a silk scrunchie when I sleep. I put my hair in a ponytail when it gets oily.
Do you know about a cheaper version of epres? I have been trying to make a bind repair routine on a budget 😊. Also do you use heat every wash day? The more I use heat the more breakage I have, how do use heat and prevent damage? Thanks abbyyy
Loved the video and thanks so much for sharing how you care for your hair. Would you consider doing a more updated video for hair care when you go to the beach or swim in chlorinated pools? Thanks!
Hi Abbey, thank you for making this video. Puts a lot into perspective. I've been following your general council and the products you recommend and have had great results until now! Thank you for taking the time and sharing the knowledge, much appreciated 💕 I have the same hair type and a bit different but similar scalp issues. My hair is not colored now and had multiple growth cycles with no hair treatment but it has been treated in the past. Would you suggest a general thought on what product lines to go for? The products you recommend are almost always for dyed hair. Thank you kindly 🥰
Abby, I have been wondering how you go to bed with your hair. I have started doing pigtail twist braids-the curls turn out similar to how you curl your hair and it’s a protective style!!
I have been learning so much from you videos for the last few months. Even though I am a super busy, working, first time mom who is lucky to have the time to shave one leg in the shower, I appreciate all the info and TRY to implement some of you hair care into my schedule. Any short on time tips and tricks? I would also be curious to see a 'various workout hairstyles' video, especially for intense cardio. I run everyday and my tailbone length thick/heavy hair has to be up, not only to keep from being a sweaty mess nuisance, but also for safety so I can't be pulled back by my ponytail.
Maybe I missed a previous video but you can Epres on unwashed gunked hair? You can rinse out K18? Will you still get maximum benefits of each? Thank you so much. Oh and dogs do learn how to spell, especially if you live with other people.
The long sleep bonnet is the best overnight hair accessory I’ve ever tried. My hair type and length is like yours, and super tangly. I’m a rough sleeper but my bonnet stays on all night. My style is the same in the morning and tangle free
This was one of your best hair videos in my opinion, and am glad to see the routine has actually cut out a few products and steps I think that has helped your hair alot. I am curious as to what products you had used the week prior that you state you did not like and made your hair feel, I guess best way to say, is weird or gross buildup...also curious as to the spray heat protectants you would normally use before heat/curling your hair
I think I've seen older videos in which you were washing your hair once per week only. Now it seems to be twice per week. Any specific reason for washing it more often after reaching the performance of 1 per week? Works better for you? Or is it so you can apply treatments more often? Also, regarding the bond repar treatments, you say for most that they work better on clean hair, but Epres you seem to apply on hair before you wash. Is Epres penetrating just as well on hair that has build-up? Would love a more in depth video about Epres (already saw the ones you already have) Thank you! 😊
Hi! I believe that in the repronizer video you mentioned that you're not supposed to use any styling products with it; do you feel any difference when you use leave-in conditioner and/or other products with the repronizer vs when you don't? Edit: sorry, I should've waited to get further through the video before asking, thanks!!
You get a bouncier curl with the curling iron horizontally is because you are adding tension on the hair. When the hair has tension on it and heat, the result is a more bouncy curl because you are basically changing the hair’s curl pattern. Your curls will last so much longer when you add that extra little amount of tension.
Hi Abbey, Love your videos! I've added a lot of products and steps you recommended to my hair routine and the difference is noticeable 😮❤ Could you do a video on the must have routine/products you pack when going on vacation? I sometimes find it hard to narrow down my whole bathroom cabinet to one toiletry bag 😅
Loved this video! My hair is so much healthier because of your advice! I never realized how unhealthy it was because it has always been shiny and smooth but super frizzy. I thought it was just my hair type but because of the changes I made from watching your videos I now have barely any frizz! I went from washing my hair everyday with a moisturizing type of shampoo and the conditioner that went with it and now I am able to go over a week without washing it. Unfortunately a couple weeks ago I started seeing those white dots at the ends again. I started using k18 1.5-2 years ago but I was thinking about using it for 6 consecutive washes again, but it’s expensive and I don’t know if thats what I need to do. So instead I started washing it more frequently. I do always use at least a hair mask but mostly a hair mask and conditioner I do always look for ones with Dimethicone or Amodimethicone in them. I was surprised to see that you don’t always use a clarifying shampoo. I do and my favorites are Kristen Ess, Ouai, and Pantene Volume. Could that be the cause of the white dots? Would using the k18 for 6 washes again be a good idea? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated! Just to get to know my hair better it’s very long I think I have thick wavy hair. My natural color is a dark brown but I do dye my hair with box dye I use Garnier ultra bold red for dark hair every 3-4 months and I always dye all of my hair not just my roots. II know you are very busy so if you get the chance to read it and reply, Thank you I appreciate it very much!
Do you rinse out the k18 before applying the conditioner? I remember seeing your updates about how you can do so before applying conditioner… just was curious if you do that yourself or not 😊 ❤ great video! Also curious how long it takes you to go through an entire bottle of Epres? I plan to purchase some! Thank you ☺️
I’ve been wondering this as well ever since she said we can use conditioner. Do we rinse or apply the conditioner right over k18 then rinse? Hopefully it’s fine either way
Your videos are so informative about hair care but at the same time you are so cute and funny and talk to us as if we were literally there with you. I love it ❤ you are awesome
Amazing video!!! So helpful- you're the best for my hair type so I'm glued to every word. Thank you so much for saving my chemically treated hair and for teaching all of us what to do !! XO
Thank you so much for this video! I've watched it a couple times and am incorporating your advice, using your links 😊 One thing: do you apply your conditioner in the shower right over the K18? Or do you wash it off? I've been following their directions to leave in, but I'm open to whatever works. Thank you!!
Hi Abbey! Love your videos and my hair is so much healthier since following your routine. I purchased your ultimate hair guide almost a year ago and was wondering if you were going to update it with any of your new favorite products? Thanks!
I’m like at half of the video and I’m loving it SO much 😭😭😭 I had tried the blow dryer trick on dry shampoo and completely lost it when you said cold air, like WHAT? This is why we need EVERY LITTLE DETAIL Abbey 😅🙏🏽💖💖💖💖💖💖 thank you so much for this amazing video!!!!!
hi! I have a question on the k18 website it says on their website to apply it as such “Apply 1-3 pumps of K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask based on your length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots Let sit for 4 minutes. Do not rinse out” but I know after you put on conditioner and then rinsed out. Do you know if it’s okay to do this?
I loved this video!!! So you don’t use a hair oil every day now? I always do it before I brush my hair morning & night but then feel like it weighs my hair down fast
Nice hair, Abbey. And thanks for the tips. My go to hair style for simple workout is a loose braided ponytail or a divided ponytail because I tend to get sweaty on my back.
Abbey, for various reasons, I stopped using K18 about 6 months ago!…I have recently started using it again, so should I start from scratch & wash 4-6 times straight just as if I never used it before?…I value your advice!…thanks!
I love that you are in full glam one second and then in a robe, hair up no make up at all, looking 100% natural!
I'm either one or the other, no in between 😂

I'm right there with you for being frustrated over random aches and pains with no specific injury accounting for them. I do have a very physical job though..

I am in MN for a work contract and have been told this is the most abnormal MN winter!😂 the constant weather changing has been such a battle with my hair and skincare products. I don't know if you've heard of it but would love to know your thoughts on the Raw Sugar ACV & Rosemary hair rinse, shampoo alternative. It has been such a game changer for me in extending my full shampoo wash days (I use the Nioxin 1 set for my wash days). It's really affordable and has changed the game for my drier scalp in this climate💕
thank you for everything you share and prepare to show us here! really appreciate you, girl! very glad to learn you're out of a depression state and hope you'll never come back to feeling that way ever again so praying for you! much love!
I’m so happy to see that you’re doing sooo much better than you were a couple of years ago!!! Things have a way of working out 🥰
Helpful to see the reality of going several days without washing.. One question - it seemed like you were holding the curling iron in your hair a really long time. Do you use it at a lower heat setting or is that a nuance of the specific curling iron?
The Zuvi Halo Hair dryer did what the repronizer is supposed to do. It transformed my hair after one use. My hair is so silky, smooth and soft. No product made this before. Before my hair was dry and strawy. It also looks more voluminous now. I don't know what this light does exactly, but it is like a hair treatment ❤ and this redlight or infrared light which comes out of the hair dryer, could be good for hair growth. It looks green but actually it is red.
I run 4 times a week. What should i do with my hair? What hairstyles do you recommend?
Now i do low slik back ponytail but its so damaging.
hey just to inform you the loreal glycolic gloss lamination is meant to be used after conitioner when the cuticles are already sealed
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ♥️♥️ You drop your Haircare routine and Taylor drops a double album. PERFECT WEEK.
Thank you Abbey for all your work and dedication ♥️
Absolutely the perfect week
Obsessed 😂❤
I really appreciate this type of vlog. I love it when dogs get the zoomies, they are so happy! Hope it was a fun w.a.l.k.
I'm about to start my hair oiling journey, but have a great bond repair routine already. Girl thanks for all the time it took for you to do this video. I have fine, thin hair and I'm thinking about using a bonnet to sleep in. I usually don't style my hair (other than blow drying) but if i do i will straighten it. Do you recommend putting the hair up somehow to hold it or just put the bonnet on without a scrunchie or something of the kind? Trying to take better care of my hair while I sleep
I always hear you talking about how much you love a clarifying shampoo. I have very, very fine hair that needs to be stripped clean at each wash, or it will be weighed down and frizzy. By far, the best clarifying shampoos I've EVER tried are the Ethique Citrus shampoo bar and the L'Occitane Volume and Force shampoo. You will never go back to Pantene after trying them (I used to use the same Pantene shampoo for a long time, but then I decided to start splurging on hair care and discovered these gems. you will realize that Pantene does, in fact, leave an odd field on your hair. these don't and are perfect) Try them if you can and let me know what you think !!
Thank you for the recommendation! I’m going to give these a shot 😀
Thank you for recommending the Pantene Volume & Body Shampoo ❤. Love it for my oily scalp.
Yayyy same 😍
Please make a night time sleep hair item!!! Also I’ve been waiting for this video so thank you!!! Can you PLEASE do a step by step of exactly how you apply your makeup? Your blush is always amazing!!! I’m even talking like brushes etc the whole process?! Love you girl thank you!!! I pray my hair gets as healthy as yours one day!!
so down for this!!
Abby!!! I love the concept of the sleepy tie (silk bonnets fall off or leave imprints in my forehead) but it just doesn't work for me 😭 I have a ton of super long fine hair, maybe that's why? But no matter how high I put on my head or follow the directions/ watch videos it flops down and pulls - forget about even caring about preserving my hair style, just trying to find a comfy protective style for my hair while sleeping. I'd loooove to see what you can come up with. Even the two baby clips in a high bun trick changed everything. Thanks for all you do to educate people on their hair 🙏🏻
WOOHOO! Have been waiting for this! Thanks, Abbey!!❤
Of course!! Thanks for watching ❤
Hi Abbey! I'm thinking about getting the K18 mask, but i'm confused isn't supposed to be a leave in mask? I've been binge watching your videos trying to decide what to get 🙃
Thank you, and So Happy for you that things are better and happier! You deserve it!! 💕
Thankyou so much 💗
Have you tried the L’Oreal everpure in shower acidic glossing spray? I love that stuff. You apply after shampoo but before conditioner. It’s truly transformative.
Hi! I know this is an older video. Have you ever tried the “spiral bobbi pins” to secure your sleep updo. They work so well for me!
Also, I’m surprised you didn’t mentioned a satin pillow. Alternately maybe a satin scarf can just cover your bun. Like a mini “bun bonnet” that way you get benefits of a bonnet. But it’s not as hot/humid. Because bonnets can definitely feel a bit too confined/humid with them covering the entire head
Have you tried a sleeping bonnet or silk scarf for sleeping? I pile my curls on top of my head and loosely wrap my head with a silk scarf. Keeps my hair contained and preserves the curls really well.
Yes!! Mini jaws clips! I use these ALL the time for ALL my styles. They're amazing. You can do looser versions of many styles and they hold them very well. Fantastic for avoiding breakage. Although yes, they do break for me, too 😅... which is why I have so many of them.
omg yes!! they're just so useful
Have you tried a satin bonnet? I have a couple from Always Covered, but I know there are a bunch of other brands. It has an adjustable elastic band that is flat, and I low-key love it. I usually use to to go to sleep, but can be used whenever. I put my hair in a loose ponytail to get it in and situated, then smush it up so that I can pull the ponytail out while it's inside of the bonnet. I actually really love it. For context, my husband who is from Guyana got me into using one since he was thinking that I was having a lot of breakage in my hair. And I try to use bonnets on my two daughters who are mixed. They usually end up coming off in the middle of the night, but still trying.
I cannot wait for your best hairbrush video! That is honestly my current agenda, on the hunt!
You’re right about the bouncier curl with horizontal holding of barrel. If holding it vertical you should get a little more of that beach undone wave style curl. There are exceptions depending on how big the barrel, how much hair you use, how thick or dense the hair is… it can change the look slightly but over all you’re 💯 right about having a bouncier more voluminous curl this way (my personal favorite too) just wish my hair was longer so I could enjoy the look that you get! I’m trying! I’m following your routine to the tee! I’m almost finished with hair school and tell everyone at school and clients about the information I’ve learned and use from you! You’re an honorary cosmetologist on top of being a trichologist! Haha
Hey Abbey, love your content - your tips have transformed my dry brittle hair. I hit the beach a lot in the summer - would love to know if you have any tips to protect hair when you’re swimming in saltwater? Should I coconut oil before I go (given that I’m definitely going to wash my hair when I get back)?
Abbey - you are my absolute favourite youtuber. You are relatable, super kind and your ability to share knowledge is insane!
Just wanted to say I’m so happy you’re happy again and are doing so much better than when you were in Chicago♥️
Thank you so much 💗
How often do you get your highlights and color? Is your base color a red/brown? It’s hard to believe your hair was ever damaged… it’s so gorgeous.❤️
I saw in a short of hers it's coloured 4 times a year. Her base is cool dark blonde I think. She colours it to warm it up.
What brands of hair tools do you recommend? I’ve started my journey of taking more care of my hair, but I also want to learn to stylize it in the way… can you recommend any? 😁
This may be a ridiculous question, but do you use hairspray of any kind? Or blow out cream or gel? My curl would NOT stay the hour, much less DAYS! Just found you today so you may have answered this in another video! Thanks for any insight! And all this took to make to help ladies like me! Smiles, Abby Smith
Thank you for showing what you do during the week! I have heavily processed bleach hair and I’m finally taking care of it so it doesn’t feel damage or straw like. I just sprayed the Epres spray & OGX oil while watching this 😊 and also, my hair too “bounces” back to the curls after I brush it out initially.
let me see if understood correctly, bond treatment before wash K18 during and living proof after? when are you doing oil? next wash? like in between?
thank you im learning a lot from you and def my hair is getting better 😘
I know how much you love drugstore products so... Just bought the Garnier Fructis Hyalauronic Bonding Shampoo, Conditioner and Curl Gel. I have 2C/3A low porosity fine hair that I bleach so felt like I needed something extra, even though my low p keeps my hair feeling fairly soft most of the time. Anyway...with one use I have hair that's too soft to be 3A! It actually looks a bit like Taylor Swift's hair before the rain and humidity! Not mad about it, but I'm also not mad about it. Kinda liked that I had some spiraling going on. So I obviously won't be using it every wash but I thought if you had some girls out there that want a really nice, softening and hydrating shampoo/cond, this might be a good one to recommend.
the unbrush on amazon was life changing for my tangle prone hair which gets knotted after 5 minutes of leaving it down. can brush it effortlessly even wet.
Yay! Yes you did do it 👏🏽 We love seeing that smile Abbey. You are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for this video. It makes me realize your hair routine is actually not that daunting. It’s quite easy, flexible, and manageable!
Thanks for showing us your routines! It will help me a lot. Also I think that it would be interesting idea to do some kind of ingredients video where you talk about them, like what should we look for in products and what to avoid. If there is any (because I haven't found it yet), I would be grateful if someone could provide the titles of these films. I am from Europe so most of the time I am not able to try products that you talk about because they are not available in stores and they tend to be more expensive if I would want them to be shipped from other countries.
Thank you for this fantastic content. I don’t know your Chicago story, so happy you are on the other side of a dark period in your life. You seem in your element and I love your channel. I need to get some of your jaw clips!
Maybe silly question, but it didn't end up being quite clear to me... do you always wash your hair after a workout? Or what do you do with your hair after a workout?
Thank you for this amazing video... it helps a lot to get ideas what to do in the future with my hair that if very much prone to breakage lately!
Abbey, you are beautiful! We have different hair types (actually polar opposite lol) but your tips have helped me a lot over the last few years. So glad your mental health has improved too- there’s nothing quite like going through a really difficult time and then the pride you feel after emerging from it.
I loved watching this, thank you Abbey! I have a question: does layering heat protection with multiple products increase the overall level of protection (similar to layering products with sunscreen for skin)?
I started to wash my hair once a week again. My hair is soooo dry and damaged. I’ve been using the Alterna bonding products. I love the results! I use dry shampoo on my scalp and brush my hair out. I apply serum and hair oil on my ends everyday and my hair sucks in the products like crazy! I’ve been doing heatless curls. I roll my hair in a silk scrunchie when I sleep. I put my hair in a ponytail when it gets oily.
Do you know about a cheaper version of epres? I have been trying to make a bind repair routine on a budget 😊. Also do you use heat every wash day? The more I use heat the more breakage I have, how do use heat and prevent damage? Thanks abbyyy
Loved the video and thanks so much for sharing how you care for your hair. Would you consider doing a more updated video for hair care when you go to the beach or swim in chlorinated pools? Thanks!
Hi Abbey, thank you for making this video. Puts a lot into perspective. I've been following your general council and the products you recommend and have had great results until now! Thank you for taking the time and sharing the knowledge, much appreciated 💕
I have the same hair type and a bit different but similar scalp issues. My hair is not colored now and had multiple growth cycles with no hair treatment but it has been treated in the past.
Would you suggest a general thought on what product lines to go for?
The products you recommend are almost always for dyed hair. Thank you kindly 🥰
How do you decide between a k18 day or not k18 day?
I can't wait to hear your review on the Dove shampoo! Thanks for the hair vlog ❤
Abby, I have been wondering how you go to bed with your hair. I have started doing pigtail twist braids-the curls turn out similar to how you curl your hair and it’s a protective style!!
I have been learning so much from you videos for the last few months. Even though I am a super busy, working, first time mom who is lucky to have the time to shave one leg in the shower, I appreciate all the info and TRY to implement some of you hair care into my schedule. Any short on time tips and tricks? I would also be curious to see a 'various workout hairstyles' video, especially for intense cardio. I run everyday and my tailbone length thick/heavy hair has to be up, not only to keep from being a sweaty mess nuisance, but also for safety so I can't be pulled back by my ponytail.
Maybe I missed a previous video but you can Epres on unwashed gunked hair? You can rinse out K18? Will you still get maximum benefits of each? Thank you so much. Oh and dogs do learn how to spell, especially if you live with other people.
The long sleep bonnet is the best overnight hair accessory I’ve ever tried. My hair type and length is like yours, and super tangly. I’m a rough sleeper but my bonnet stays on all night. My style is the same in the morning and tangle free
What is the name and brand of your bonnet please, it’s a struggle.
This was one of your best hair videos in my opinion, and am glad to see the routine has actually cut out a few products and steps I think that has helped your hair alot. I am curious as to what products you had used the week prior that you state you did not like and made your hair feel, I guess best way to say, is weird or gross buildup...also curious as to the spray heat protectants you would normally use before heat/curling your hair
I think I've seen older videos in which you were washing your hair once per week only. Now it seems to be twice per week. Any specific reason for washing it more often after reaching the performance of 1 per week? Works better for you? Or is it so you can apply treatments more often?
Also, regarding the bond repar treatments, you say for most that they work better on clean hair, but Epres you seem to apply on hair before you wash. Is Epres penetrating just as well on hair that has build-up? Would love a more in depth video about Epres (already saw the ones you already have)
Thank you! 😊
Do u rinse out k-18 before applying conditioner?
Ok so you did them for both of these washes, but are you doing Epres & LP every wash? And thank you so much for this!
I thought the K18 repair mask was an after-shower leave-in mask. We can use it in the shower and condition on top of it?
Yes, per the company after the 4 minutes you can apply conditioner
Hi! I believe that in the repronizer video you mentioned that you're not supposed to use any styling products with it; do you feel any difference when you use leave-in conditioner and/or other products with the repronizer vs when you don't?
Edit: sorry, I should've waited to get further through the video before asking, thanks!!
You get a bouncier curl with the curling iron horizontally is because you are adding tension on the hair. When the hair has tension on it and heat, the result is a more bouncy curl because you are basically changing the hair’s curl pattern. Your curls will last so much longer when you add that extra little amount of tension.
Hi Abbey,
Love your videos! I've added a lot of products and steps you recommended to my hair routine and the difference is noticeable 😮❤
Could you do a video on the must have routine/products you pack when going on vacation? I sometimes find it hard to narrow down my whole bathroom cabinet to one toiletry bag 😅
Loved this video! My hair is so much healthier because of your advice! I never realized how unhealthy it was because it has always been shiny and smooth but super frizzy. I thought it was just my hair type but because of the changes I made from watching your videos I now have barely any frizz! I went from washing my hair everyday with a moisturizing type of shampoo and the conditioner that went with it and now I am able to go over a week without washing it. Unfortunately a couple weeks ago I started seeing those white dots at the ends again. I started using k18 1.5-2 years ago but I was thinking about using it for 6 consecutive washes again, but it’s expensive and I don’t know if thats what I need to do. So instead I started washing it more frequently. I do always use at least a hair mask but mostly a hair mask and conditioner I do always look for ones with Dimethicone or Amodimethicone in them. I was surprised to see that you don’t always use a clarifying shampoo. I do and my favorites are Kristen Ess, Ouai, and Pantene Volume. Could that be the cause of the white dots? Would using the k18 for 6 washes again be a good idea? Please any advice would be greatly appreciated! Just to get to know my hair better it’s very long I think I have thick wavy hair. My natural color is a dark brown but I do dye my hair with box dye I use Garnier ultra bold red for dark hair every 3-4 months and I always dye all of my hair not just my roots. II know you are very busy so if you get the chance to read it and reply, Thank you I appreciate it very much!
Do you rinse out the k18 before applying the conditioner? I remember seeing your updates about how you can do so before applying conditioner… just was curious if you do that yourself or not 😊 ❤ great video!
Also curious how long it takes you to go through an entire bottle of Epres? I plan to purchase some! Thank you ☺️
I’ve been wondering this as well ever since she said we can use conditioner. Do we rinse or apply the conditioner right over k18 then rinse? Hopefully it’s fine either way
I heard that I shouldn't put hair masks/conditioner close to my root. How do I treat the broken hairs around my scalp that need bonding?
I use treatments like olaplex or lamellar rinses all the way to my root just not heavier things like conditioner/heavy masks
Your videos are so informative about hair care but at the same time you are so cute and funny and talk to us as if we were literally there with you. I love it ❤ you are awesome
please make a sleep product!! I currently sleep in a braid because nothing stays on my head
Amazing video!!! So helpful- you're the best for my hair type so I'm glued to every word. Thank you so much for saving my chemically treated hair and for teaching all of us what to do !! XO
yay! of course 💗
Thank you so much for this video! I've watched it a couple times and am incorporating your advice, using your links 😊
One thing: do you apply your conditioner in the shower right over the K18? Or do you wash it off? I've been following their directions to leave in, but I'm open to whatever works. Thank you!!
Hi Abbey! Love your videos and my hair is so much healthier since following your routine. I purchased your ultimate hair guide almost a year ago and was wondering if you were going to update it with any of your new favorite products? Thanks!
I’m like at half of the video and I’m loving it SO much 😭😭😭 I had tried the blow dryer trick on dry shampoo and completely lost it when you said cold air, like WHAT? This is why we need EVERY LITTLE DETAIL Abbey 😅🙏🏽💖💖💖💖💖💖 thank you so much for this amazing video!!!!!
hahaha yay! So happy to help xx
hi! I have a question on the k18 website it says on their website to apply it as such “Apply 1-3 pumps of K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask based on your length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots
Let sit for 4 minutes. Do not rinse out” but I know after you put on conditioner and then rinsed out. Do you know if it’s okay to do this?
She’s GORGEOUS omg
Currently rewatching this. I love all of your videos but this one is my favorite. So much good advice. Thanks for your hard work!!! 🦋🩵
I loved this video!!! So you don’t use a hair oil every day now? I always do it before I brush my hair morning & night but then feel like it weighs my hair down fast
Nice hair, Abbey. And thanks for the tips. My go to hair style for simple workout is a loose braided ponytail or a divided ponytail because I tend to get sweaty on my back.
Abbey, for various reasons, I stopped using K18 about 6 months ago!…I have recently started using it again, so should I start from scratch & wash 4-6 times straight just as if I never used it before?…I value your advice!…thanks!
