for products like this, companies should say “smooths spilt ends” and prevents further damage
Totally. there are sooo many other misleading claims just like this too
This is exactly why I look at customer reviews and not brands’ claims. Specifically, I go to the one star reviews first. You can find out all you need to know there.
Exactly I also skip the ones where it says - I received this product for free and I'm not payed for review 😒
I've never liked Briogeo - I've tried a fair amount of their products over the years, and they literally do nothing. Every time I use their products, my hair looks and feels worse than when I use any other brand's products. I don't understand why they are so highly rated. I've also worked in the world of marketing for many years, so i can see through all this kind of crap with the wording they use. I feel sorry for those who don't recognize it and fall for it.
Same!! I heard people rave about it for years and I tried several of their products and they made my hair feel so dry.
I Love Briogeo. Some of the products Abby uses are not good on my hair or my daughter, but that doesn't mean it is bad. I don't know why Redken is so highly rated. hair care is truly personal
Thank you! I feel so validated. I wasted so much money on the "Don't Despair, Repair" line and it all sucked. My hair looked worse than ever. I don't get all the positive reviews, I bet a lot of them are fake, or from people who are switching from a bad drugstore brand and haven't tried professional products before.
@@SandiHartke Yup! Terrible stuff
@@krystademilio1256 I think Redken is overrated too. But Redken products have been hit and miss,for me. I like a couple of their styling products, but not a fan of their shampoo or conditioners. Briogeo has been all bad. I haven't like a single one of their products yet.
I will never purchase Briogeo again. Everything I've tried has made my hair feel dry. I'm over "clean" or "curly girl" products. You have made me realize that silicones and sulfates are not that bad, and actually give me much healthier looking hair. Amodimethicone is an amazing ingredient and makes my frizzy hair shine and feel so soft. Thank you for shining a light on all the BS trends and demonizing of ingredients that goes on. My hair has improved so much on this hair growth journey!
Same!! I recently started trying sulfates again after a decade of thinking they're bad for me and I've never been happier about my hair. Currently so relieved and so over all these stupid clean beauty claims and useless products!
I'm so happy that we have a source like you on RUclips! Thank you for your work and for sharing your knowledge with us. Also you're so kind and diplomatic every time you critique these marketing campaigns. Love it!
I wish products like these would be marketed as more of a preventive product rather than a "quick fix" gimmick. Using mending products as soon as you get your fresh cut can help prevent split ends from forming in the first place. It's better to prevent than to stick a bandaid on it and limp along until you bite the bullet it get that hair cut
Awesome video😊 it’s amazing how companies brainwash people with their bulshit claims…damage hair is damage hair & there is nothing that we can do except taking good care & try to minimize additional damage. Any oil will do the temporary sealing.
You are absolutely fantastic ❤❤
Thank you so much! xoxo
Abbey you are definitely onto something. A lot of those plant gums like xanthan gum are used in more “natural” curly hair products as the primary film former or holding agent to smooth down frizz and clump curls, so really all the product is doing is using these film formers to smooth the hair strands. I wonder if I applied a product like Obia Curl Enhancing Custard which has xanthan gum, carbomer, and plant oils and examined the hair on a microscopic level if it would have a similar result.
My husband is a scientist, not for a beauty company. But recently something was discovered, that can seal split ends. It’s nothing that anyone would have expected and he is patenting it right now. But it also could take years or may never be able to seal all hairs on a head. It works in a lab, under the microscope, with single hairs.but you can’t manually seal each hair on a head, that would take an eternity,lol.
Well I'll see you in 5 years when you are a millionare
@@BoudicaisbackIf her husband is patenting it, they'll be billionaires in a couple of years as every hair company in the existence will have to purchase his ingredient directly from him/his company whenever they want to include it in their formulations and that's only IF he decides to sell it to companies like the manufacturers of the skincare ingredient, bakuchiol, are doing.
Her husband probably will (and should) create his own hair products using the ingredient (once it's patented) similar to what K18 and Olaplex did. Olaplex patented it's star ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, in 2015 and now the company itself is currently worth approx $14B. 😮 And get this, that patent won't run out until 2034!
im looking forward to seeing this in products in the coming years
@@bklynbutters13 nah, the company owns everything a scientist invents while employed. And it’s questionable if it will ever be able to do it for a full hard of hair. Maybe it would first be a specialist treatment. But it works under microscope with single hairs. The research and development need to test and develop it further. It was an invention for something different actually, discovered by accident that it works for hair. It was just a joke of him that it could maybe be used to solve my severe split ends, that I got from being on bedrest for months while pregnant, laying on the left side. Obviously I can’t say much about it though.
My husband gets a bonus for every patent he files for the corporation and if it gets to be used to make money, a further bonus. If something gets really huge, the scientist gets a small cut , like 10%-25% of the profit, so it really depends on the success of a product. We will see. But it definitely is good for his career .of course corporations want great scientists etc., so they have to give a nice profit to them or they get a bad reputation and nobody wants to work for them anymore.
But it wasn’t found in the corporate laboratory, he discovered it while on parental leave, so we are looking to get a good lawyer, to find out, if he can keep the patent for himself or get a better deal from the corporation. But we also can’t afford the lab equipment that’s needed to make this a reality and not just a successful lab experiment. So probably it’s best to find a deal with his employer . This happens so often, to so many inventors. So in the end,the corporation gets the credit as most people never look up, who invented something in hair products etc. I mean how many consumers know who invented Olaplex?
@@MileinaJuarez Okay, thank you for providing a lot more context. And you're absolutely right. If Epres hadn't come out last year by one of the Olaplex inventors, no one would know the names of any of the original inventors of the Olaplex ingredient. I do hope your husband has the law on his side to be able to profit well off of his own invention. 🙏🏾 He deserves that fruit since it's his labor.
Abbey, will you please do a hairbrush video? I saw your oily hair short, and now I am interested in trying boar bristle but I don’t want to buy the wrong one or pay more than necessary for a good one (fine, thin mostly straight, easily tangled hair but oily scalp girl here-want something gentle just to spread oils from scalp…really prefer my gentle vented wet brush for usual brushing/detangling) I am seeing vegan choices, teasing brushes, different shapes and sizes as well as mixtures-please help. ❤
Most brands market to make us purchase. The products and brands may not be bad but its their job to make money. Thank you for breaking these down!
Talking about Briogeo, I’d love your take on the whole brand. Clean and silicone free “natural” brands like Briogeo have a product lineup of these kind of claims and I’m exhausted. It’s like the natural version of, “I can’t believe it’s not butter!”
From all the ingredients listed, this would make a great face moisturizer 💁
I feel like I can be a much more savvy consumer after watching this video. Thank you, Abby! I had this product on my Sephora loves list, but I wanted to hear your thoughts before I purchased and WOW! This video has completely exceeded what I was hoping for. You are amazing! Thanks again!
Hey abbey I really appreciate the effort and newness in your videos ur hair care tips are wonderful keep up the amazing work
thank you so much!!
The MOMENT this aired and I saw the claims, I thought of YOU immediately, Abbey!!! 😂❤🎉 I thought “abbey is going to have a field day” 😆 I felt very proud of myself for being able to catch the marketing stunt- it shows how much your videos have made me an informed consumer 💗
It is a shame that brands feel the need to be deceptive in marketing their products in order to compete.
I personally love many Briogeo products- they make my hair feel wonderful- their don’t despair, repair line… but the whole name of the line is deceptive 😅 I know it’s not repairing my hair, but it doesn’t change that I enjoy the products.
I just wish brands would call products what they are 💗
Just offering a different perspective but I read that as exactly as you did. It seems clear to me that they're saying it's only visibly sealed. Even the video shows it not fully closing, I personally didn't take it as trying to imply something else.
But clearly from the comments on this a lot of people have taken it that way so perhaps you're right to point it out
The people in the comments section are brainwashed themselves...They jump on anything :) What Briogeo said was clear
I like some of the Briogio products, so i'm kind of disappointed that I have to look deeper at marketing words vs science that I'm familiar with. I realize this applies to almost every product that is out there. I appreciate when you call out the marketing ploys for us.
When are you going to upload your Jolie head shower review ♥️♥️ PLSS!!!!!! We’re waiting for it!
I’ll just stick to my silicone, oils, serums with dimethicone to smooth my ends until my haircut maintenance . Problem solved 😂
Curious too about the “scientifically proven to boost hair moisture 5x”. What are they referring to? Since moisture is damaging to hair…
they probably mean conditioning
Yeah I figured that was a joke. I never had any marketing training but I saw it. The weight from the conditioner made that split get closer together. Plus “up to 100%” means anything. Anything under 100% it was totally unnecessary to say they just thought it sounded good cause a lot of people don’t analyze the wording of stuff. 🤷🏽♀️
That was funny to me too. 1% is “up to 100%”, like you could go over 100%? It’s like when you see a clothing sale “everything up to 50% off!” But really everything just discounted 15%. Ughhhh marketing
Always always always appreciate your research Abbey!
I actually like briogio products, their curly girl friendly and help moisturize my fro. Also it’s POC owned which I really appreciate supporting. I know better than to trust wording like this though, the only thing that prevents split ends is to just take care of your hair and keep up with trims! 💁🏽♀️
I really love some of their hydrating products for my wavy hair, like the superfoods avocado and kiwi mask, a staple for me!
Yep. There is no product that will repair your hair. Products might smooth, temporarily bond, or make your hair look better but other than that, the only real cure is to cut it off.
Me, not knowing even a small percentage about products as you do, called them out ON THEIR ADVERTISING on Facebook. I said some of the same basics that you pointed out. I've used a Briogeo product or two, they're ok. But to me it was and out and lie and it was very deceptive to say the least. Needless to say, they didn't respond and probably removed my comment but hopefully it may have opened at least one person's eyes. I guess the people that they suck in with this outweighs the people like me who are put off by the entire brand when they over-promise results. With all that's out there, I can find better products.
You, my dear, are a treasure! Love your videos!
Very good video. The wording is something to always pay attention to in marketing. In the end, hair is just a bunch of dead cells, and strand ends deteriorate over time because there is no blood flow. A simple trim is going to be more effective than paying for an overpriced leave in treatment with cleverly worded promises.
I like Kerastase.
Thank you! My mom does hair for a living. So its irritating when I see their claims to fix split ends. They cannot be repaired. Hair needs to be trimmed every 3-4 weeks. I've always had healthy, waist length hair & get asked what i use. Our hair type depends on our genetics & the way we care for it. I was taught to use a comb (rarely use a brush), limit heat (use diffuser & no hot setting), use fingers to comb wet hair when conditioning... and a personal choice of mine is to not process my hair. I did get highlights once in high school, but Ive never fully colored it. I'm waiting to do that when I have gray hair.
I am a fairly new viewer and subscriber. I just wanted to say thank you for your videos and for your honesty. I have very thick rather coarse gray hair. It becomes a frizz ball in humidity. I am growing it long (my COVID hair) and have been struggling to keep it smooth and shiny. I always used Pantene in the past but everyone kept saying it was bad for your hair. Hence I began on a very expensive journey of trying to find that magical hair product that would fit the bill. Then one day I stumbled upon your channel and you said it was perfectly fine to use shampoos like Pantene. I switched back and my hair looks better than ever. I also watched your review of Color Wow dream coat, bought it, tried it and put it to the test here in good old Missouri heat and humidity. That stuff is the real deal. Game changer for someone with my hair type. Bought the curly version, blew my hair dry, curled it into beachy waves and, much to my surprise, slept on it, woke up with the exact curls I went to bed with, worked out, walked the dog and it still looked like I had just styled it. I can't thank you enough. I will be forever grateful for your channel and your expert advice. ❤❤❤
So basically it glues the split ends together, but doesn't actually fix them, just like every other product that claims to repair split ends.
Abbey, you are my favorite person to go to learn about haircare.
Really appreciate your hard work and effort! 💕
thank you xoxo
Thank you so much for your reliability, honesty, and thorough research. its so impressive and evident how much time and effort you put into your content on each platform.
of course ❤ and thank you so much!
I used to fall for all these claims hair products use. I just subscribed to your channel recently and I'm learning so much. My hair definitely needs TLC and I'm in the process of getting healthy hair. Thank you from all of us that are trying to heal our damaged hair. 😊❤
From where did you got the ph level of pureology shampoo and conditioner?? I emai them and this is what they said: “The pH of any given product is not a measure of the product's efficacy. Our products are developed to be compatible with the natural biology of the hair and skin. It is our unique formula and technology that provides the desired result. “
Wow! Amazing how they turn things around to sell! Vary informative thank you!!!!!! Plz do more!
So basically there are much less costly products with these same ingredients that would work just as well if not better than this product
I use Briogeo but after this probably won’t anymore, to their credit they didn’t “lie” but super misleading so probably won’t gravitate towards their products anymore
Abbey
Can you please do a hair care video on children’s hair! PLEASE 🙏🏼 I struggle with my 9 year old’s hair, she has a different texture to mine. I’ve tried every kid shampoo out there. Looking for some safe ingredients. She has fine wavy hair but I struggle with the frizz and detangling 😣 Help! ❤
I've learned so much about how to read an ingredient list, especially in hair care products, from you! I'm so grateful that I am no longer falling for these types of tactics and am actually choosing products that will do what I need it to do for my hair. So thank you!
I’ve tried it and loved it so much! I personally can see the difference 🤷♀️ and it’s more about the formulation than the single ingredient
Well yea it doesn't actually repair it is like a coating nothing exist but didn't mean it's not effective.
you are so nice! I'd be dragging that brand lol I think its so important to bring up the facts and established scientific data, especially in an industry full of lies and deceptive marketing. So thanks again for doing that, and props to you for always being so kind and professional
Another skin ingredient I've recently seen in haircare is retinol. How do you feel about the use of retinol in haircare products (for example, the brand Like a Virgin recently created a whole line of anti-aging haircare using retinol)?
I am just wondering if you would talk about hair growth and increasing volume of hair. Cos you mostly seem to address breakage. But I am struggling with hair loss and slow hair growth
From that ingredient list, it doesn't even look like that great a conditioner. It has none of the ingredients that adsorb (stick, and not a typo) to hair - oils and emollients don't hang around a long time without getting icky; you want things that stick well and sry down. [Look for ingredients with "trimonium" or "quaternium" in their names.]
i tried some Briogeo samples, and they were better than the super cheap drug store products I was using at the time, but not a lot better.
@abbey young can you please do a video for hair tips styles and tricks at a festival!?! I went to my very first camping festival and had such a hard time trying to tame my hair.
I love your videos. Very simple to understand and very educational. I appreciate everything that you have put out so far. Keep up the good work and sending you lots of love from Michigan!❤
Go Badgers! Currently studying marketing at UW as well.
Hi Abbey, Thanks for keeping us "hair aware."😊
Really informative… I choose to sit back… see the ad and wait for people like you to review it. I save a lot of money this way!!! Also, would love you to review The Beauty Spy Moremo Miracle 10 please. I am loving it but wondering if there is any benefits??? My hair feels great and looks great after using it. ❤
Like some of the commenters, I like some of their products but I know some of it is a huge marketing push. I still like their scalp products, but there is a serum within the scalp line that feels like a total rip off w amount for price. I’m about to try my first expensive shampoo & conditioner that’s really targeted form hair type after finishing my Briogeo. They were good to start with as I’m taking better care of my hair and increasingly willing to spend more, but I think I can find better as far as styling & targeting my hair type issues goes. I’m still experimenting with products & routines. It takes awhile to see what’s best, especially if u can’t afford to waste.
could you do an updated video on your fav summer products? uv products for extreme weather THANk you
Key words that get overlooked . Thanks for pointing this out.
ive been a long time viewer and i have to say your knowledge just keeps increasing... we can tell this is your passion and i appreciate the knowledge so i can keep my hair healthy and not for ads like these!
thank you so much!!!
Thanks for this vid. I was lured to Briogeo by marketing. At the time, the product did make a difference in my hair but results weren’t long lasting, so yup, another fail. Makes me cautious to not want to fall for marketing hype. New subscriber here, thank you Abbey!
This same concept could apply to any market, really. Dr. Dray did a video the other day on the hair, skin and nail market but touches on the supplement and vitamin market in general, and how they can get away with anything. Balance365 talks about the diet industry and how they will dupe you as well. Capitalism has done a good job of getting people to believe that corporations have consumer's best interest at heart when in actuality, they just want your money and will do anything to get it. I remember telling someone that that Weight Watchers business model is all about getting repeat customers and that they don't actually want you to maintain your weight loss over time. They were highly offended because they believe that Oprah and other stakeholders personally care about their health. They don't! It's for all of these reasons that I love your channel. You bust through the BS and tell us what's what. I have reliable products now that work, both drugstore and high-end, and I'm not drawn into the hype. I don't feel compelled to buy more because you stand firm with your recommendations and they don't change month to month or week to week as new products like this one come out. So thank you for all you do.
Now you can claim anything without proof. Lying is no problem.
Thank you for this! I'm very skeptical which is why I would love your opinion on La'dor products. I've seen them reviewed on RUclips, but I trust your opinion!
Nice job, Abbey!❤
I tried your recommendations with the Pureology leave in, Redken acidic bonding shampoo and conditiober and Olaplex #6 and my hair was a dry and frizzy a always
Key word VISIBLY
What do you think about brad mondos hair care ? The bond treatment and the leave in bond cream? Could you possibly do a review on these?
It’s actually an old product, I’ve tried it, it’s not light weight at all and it made my hair heavy and greasy!
Thoroughly enjoyed this marketing deep dive :)
Nothing new... anyone hear of infusium 23 from the late 90s 😂. The marketing was exactly the same.
What purple shampoo would you recommend??
Yes for more similar videos. Esp with cosmetics
Isn't this just a leave in conditioner?
Please make more videos like this!! 😊
Looks like they took away the leave in mask and replaced it with this one on their site. Not sure if they're the same though
Is a shampoo without sulfates able to remove silicone buildup?
What do you recommend if you need protein in your hair?
Hi Abbey! Love your videos and how consistent you are with them. Wondering if you have tried the new Oribe oil control shampoo / line? It’s in a purple bottle.
Abbey can you please do Color WOW
I saw people tagging you in this, I’ve been waiting to hear your full thoughts! Every product from Briogeo I have tried made made my hair feel really dry/brittle. Love the aesthetic of their brand, but it’s a no from me.
Have you seen Redkins marketing for their liquid acidic bonding conditioning spray? I know you tried it, but they are claiming to actually use it as a conditioner not a leave in? 🤔 Have you tried that? I am very curious!
Hi abbey. My hairdresser suggested that I try diluting my shampoos with water before using it. She said to mix it in a container and pour it over my scalp and also do a double cleanse. What do you think of these two tips?
Appreciate this so much
Abbey, thanks so much for the informative video! What is your favorite leave-in conditioner?
pureology color fanatic!! the best
It is the best.
Love videos like this. Keep em coming! Great job
Hi abbey! Thanks for another great and informative video. Since on the topic of split ends, can you possibly give your opinion on the “split ender pro” machine that’s supposed to get rid of split ends without compromising length? Thank you ! 🤗
Dove has a whole commercial running on TV right now making the same claims. Interesting that you're targeting Briogeo though
hiiiii, have you ever done a review of the macadamia & macadamia professional line? i’ve been using the deep repair mask and love it but would love to hear your thoughts!!! 🫶🏼🤍
Before I buy a product - check if Abbey has a video on it 💯
I would love to hear your thoughts on products like Eva NYC Mane Magic 10 in 1 product and Curlsmith Miracle shield. Products that seem to claim they can do it all. Can they really?
loved this video, thank you! I've become a little obsessed with snipping off damaged bits in my face framing 'bangs' each day. However, even though I do everything 'right' (e.g. oil mids and lengths, protective styling, minimal heat, good products) I seem to have new damage every single day?! Is this right? I'm a bit worried I end up cutting all my hair off :D any advice you can give would be much appreciated!
1.) make sure you’re removing the oil properly. If you wash your hair first, try conditioning it first. This is purely anecdotal but I found it helps prevent protein buildup and makes hair smoother. 2.) read your daily shampoo and conditioner. What’s it say? Did you notice if it’s “volumizing” or “smoothing”? Those are styling ingredients. So even though it’s in a shampoo made for washing, those styling products can build up over time and make your hair brittle. 3.) get a clarifying shampoo. 4.) wash as often as you find you need. If your hair gets super oily no matter what, and you have to wash once a day every day? Do it. Not washing your hair can damage it as well. (Letting oil and bactieria build up on the scalp) 5.) wash your scalp. Never concentrate shampoo to the strands. Focus. On. The. Scalp. 6.) silk hair ties, silk pillowcase. 7.) make sure hair is 100% dry before sleeping.
great video and good lesson! this isn't for me as i don't deal with split ends but would something like this be beneficial for those with split ends so that the split doesn't go higher up even if it isn't a permanent fix? like so they don't have to cut more of their hair off at a trim?
Yes, that is why this video is a waste of time. She piles on tons of products that help with her damaged hair, so what is wrong with Briogeo coming out with their own product....how dare they
@@krystademilio1256 Wrong. l believe all Abby was trying to tell us in this video is that brands (any brand) will try to deceive us with their words. As us consumers fall for it. That we should read the packaging carefully as well as have a look at the ingredients so we know exactly what the product will do for us. This way we don't expect more than what the product is able to deliver.
Oh and BTW you're very rude.
@@janicedinapoli9615 what wording exactly did briogeo deceive everyone with?
@@krystademilio1256 I don't think she was targeting Briogeo specifically just using them as an example on how marketing is done to make us buy things and could potentially trick people. A lot of us who watch videos like this know split ends can only be fixed by a hair trim but many everyday people could look at this and assume it would genuinely fix them. I think that was the entire point of the video.
Very informative & money saving! Thank you Abbey!!
Omg so strange her video went black on my phone and the video i was editing for my channel got lost after exporting 🙁 what is going onnnn can everyone see the blackouted video or are my electronics ganging up on me?
no issue here at the time of my viewing. 😧
What do you think about Kerastase line? My hair is damaged and I’m trying to follow your advices to make my hair healthier. I bought different masks, shampoos, heat protector, scalp serum from kerastase cause I’ve heard it’s really good but I can’t find any reviews about it on your videos. That would be amazing to hear your thoughts about it 🙏❤️ thanks in advance
Really informative video 📹 Abbey, From subscribing to your channel I've trusted your opinion thought etc of what product is good for each hair type ingredients and so on. Thanks for all your hard work and help.
Hi plz tell us how to get curls long last with Dyson air wrap and what product need to used to get last result thank u
Thank you Abbey for another great video!!!❤
Help! Newly grown out gray and it is so different from my colorized version! Best products?
Can K18 repair split ends?
Why would you want to seal your split ends... and not cut them off to rebuild the overall health of your hair? Like, I get not wanting to lose length, but they're literally just pouring wonderful ingredients onto dead hair. A waste of product, isn't it?
Hair is dead even at the root... 😅
I love when they say it is scentifically proven but don't give the link to the article of the study proving it. This campaign reminds me of one for eye mascara that would increase the length by 1800%.😂
Shampoo recs for non colored, fine, straight hair.
Please review davines 🙏🏻
Thank you Abbey, you teach me so much 😊
