Please do a conditioner video, too - specifically, how to "wring" the water out of your hair - how to minimize damage while taking it down from sopping wet before using a turban. 😁
Tip for people with really oily hair: if you are having trouble getting your hair and scalp wet before shampoo, first, get it as wet as you can, then lather a small amount of shampoo into your hands and then your scalp and then wash that off. That breaks down the layer of oil so that you can get everything fully wet and then continue with your normal shampoo routine. The first bit of shampoo isn't for cleaning, but to just help get everything ready for a proper shampoo
1. Comb hair 2. Throughly wet hair 3. Use a detachable shower if you like to wet your hair 4. Use a water filter 5. Don’t put shampoo right on the scalp, emulsify it in your hands first 6. Shampoo in sections. Don’t neglect any areas of the scalp when shampooing. Lift up your hair in sections and shampoo each 7. Don’t apply shampoo to the ends ( unless you have build up on the ends) otherwise shampoo will travel down to the ends when you rinse 8. Don’t massage scalp too roughly or use fingernails. Use pads of fingers 9. Properly rinse all of the shampoo out. Do a double rinse if needed 10. Apply both an oil and then layer with a deep conditioning mask to your ends before you shampoo if your ends are dry 11. If you have product build up or your hair is oily. Shampoo two times. Use a clarifying shampoo such as with apple cider vinegar. Use a clear shampoo which is formulated to remove oil and build up 12. If you have a dry scalp use a shampoo that has a white creamier formulation. Apply oil directly to the scalp before shampooing and leave on overnight if you like
The tips in this and the conditioner video made such a huge difference. Thank you!! I only lost two or three hairs in the shower instead of my usual gross clump. It's a little horrifying to realize how badly I've been mistreating my hair for my entire life.
I’d definitely love a video on your favorite hair oils! I have long wavy/curly hair and after I wet my hair but before shampooing I always put a little of my regular conditioner on my ends, then I shampoo. I then condition as usual. It helps so much!
I have the complete opposite hair from yours since I'm natural with tightly coiled hair, but I love watching your videos and have picked up some good tips that I can apply to my hair type. Also, your tips for dealing with greasy hair have been helping me while my hair is straightened.
Could you do a video how you protect your hair at night and what protective styles you use. Your eyes are beautiful! You look like a natural Disney princess! Thanks for helping us with hair care so we can look pretty too.
I'm just here to vote "yes please!" to a favourite hair oils video! I've never thought about putting a hair oil, then a hair mask over my ends prior to showering. Such an interesting tip but I'm in Australia and a little lost as to what ingredients (other than argan oil) I should be looking for in a good hair oil. 🤔
I would love if you considered buying a ph tester kit to see what the ph level is for all the shampoos and conditioners you try out for us! Definitely think it would take your videos to the next level🥰
I did that act....and was surprised to see Olaplex ph was above 6.5😳...I gave away that shampoo and Olaplex is not cheap....I only buy the No 3 nowadays, most shampoos are not ph regulated unfortunately 😕 What I did end up using from Abbey's reviews is the Redken white range....amazing stuff🥰
I’ve actually purchased a couple that ended up not working on shampoo 😫 trying to find a reliable one! Until then… I may or may not have answers from the brands themselves 🙃 stay tuned!
@@AbbeyYung if you get strips meant for chemistry or soil work, all you would have to do is put them directly in (don't tell me boss but I may have tried some from my lab for this haha)
@@AbbeyYung I use pH strips in my formulation process ... there are some tricks. First, get the ones with 4 patches on each strip - the ones with only one patch are useless. Also, try to get strips that focus on the range you need ... we don't need strips that cover 10-14! Second, you may need to dilute the product, as many are too thick to see results. The best way is to mix 19 grams of **distilled** water with 1 gram of product, then dip the strip according to directions. Third, work in strong sunlight or color corrected artificial light. The color differences are subtle, even with excellent color vision it can be hard to tell 4.5 from 5.0. I saw a video a while back where the host took a one patch strip, dropped AHA serum on it, and wiped it off with a tissue. You could tell the too-high pH serums from the lower ones, but that was about all.
i used to scrub my scalp so hard thinking it'd make my hair cleaner but all i got from that was clumps of hair coming out. be gentle and you'll se a big change in how much hair you shed in the shower!
The hair oil between shampoo and conditioner was news for me. I would love a dedicated hair oil video. And please mention some unscented options for those of us who want to use oil to detangle the ends after a shower but don’t want any fragrance (now that we r returning to work I often shower at night and don’t want to sleep in a perfumed daze). Thanks
@@nataliabilostenna4173 yes but i mean, she did not ask for advice or anything about sleeping with wet hair 😋 Unsolicited advice is not always wanted, everyone is different, maybe her hair dries really quickly?
If you want to reduce more breakage, put conditioner on your hair before stepping into the shower. It seriously minimizes tangling and drying out from the water and suds.
Wow! I did not know you had to emulsify the shampoo first. I always learn something from your videos. Thanks Abbey--have a beautiful weekend. And, yes I will be adding that to my routine now.
This was SO HELPFUL. I was leery on brushing my hair before I shower because I have wavy/curly hair but it made shampooing so much easier. I never considered just how much I might have been messing up my scalp/hair
I tried emulsifying the shampoo in my palms before applying on the scalp today and it made a HUGE DIFFERENCE. I can’t believe I’ve been doing it wrong all this time 🤦🏻♀️ next wash day imma try the oiling the strands and then deep condish. Thank youuu♥️♥️
Your videos are the best I’ve ever seen. No one takes as much time as you do to research absolutely everything and explain it. Truly amazing!!! GREAT JOB GIRL!!! 👏🏼❌⭕️❌⭕️💜
I love this video!!! I have been on a hair journey for a long time just trying to learn better ways to take care of my hair. My favorite tip from this video was putting the oil and mask on the ends of your hair before shampooing. I tried it this morning and my hair looks so much more healthy. I have thick wavy hair and live in a humid climate. This tip really helped with manageability and getting rid of the frizz. Thank you!!! Please keep these videos coming. I love your channel. I would love to see a video on more affordable hair care options.
I'm learning SO much about haircare. Thank-you! 🤔😱🥰🤗💖🇨🇦 The ONLY annoying thing EVERYBODY says is "grease"! Human skin doesn't make grease, it's sebum, oil, genius!
U should try the Matrix Unbreak My Blonde range. They are advertised as acidic like the Redken line and they have citric acid in them. It’s like a strengthening line for bleached or highlighted hair. I love it so far.
Ummm I’ve been washing my hair wrong for ever. This could explain why I use tons of shampoo yet my scalp still feels waxy and greasy after “washing “ my hair. What you say makes total sense. Hair dressers/stylists use your method and that’s why my hair feels squeaky clean when they wash my hair. I guess an old dog can learn new tricks. You’re the hair whisperer Queen 👑 Thank you 🤩🤩🌸🌸🦄🦄
Once again Abbey coming in with the excellent hair tips! The handheld showerhead was a game changer for me. I don't get that weird cowlick in the middle of my head anymore from the water always hitting the same spot. I'm definitely going to emulsify my shampoo better now. I always emulsify my conditioner so I'm not sure why I didn't do that with my shampoo. Thanks for all the tips!
Pleaseee make a hair oil video! I would love to learn more about them and which ones are great for my hair! I just started using my first hair oil and love it!
I would just like to say that I used a couple tips like getting the hair wet and my hair doesn't look greasy anymore. Looks shiny, but not greasy. I cut about 15 inches of hair off end of May and for 2 months it was greasy. It feels much better. Thank you! I was afraid it was my shampoo, which I didn't want to buy a whole new one since I wanted to use up what I have. I feel so much better. The greasy hair was killing my self esteem.
To emulsify the shampoo, you can keep a mug (from Ikea may be) in the shower and use it to mix some water with your shampoo and pour it on your head. It works very well.
Oh! I have on of those scalp massagers and they really help with shampoo! Gently brushing it through and little circles in sections.....GENTLY! That way I can really get some spots that I miss and get bloodnfloe even though your head has the biggest blood flow on your body! Get a cut on your head or face and it bleeds wayyy more than any other part!
Definitely doing the hair oil and mask on my ends before showering tonight! Thanks girl! You always give such valuable information and I appreciate you. ❤️❤️
Hi Abbey, thank you for these terrific hair washing tips! One thing I like to do is, I use cool-to-cold water for my 2nd rinse. This really helps wash out any remaining suds and shampoo residue. Cheers, from Ontario, Canada!
Would the deep conditioner even be able to penetrate the hair through all that oil? It would seem to me that the oil just builds a barrier and the deep conditioner wouldn’t be able to even reach the hair through that coat
It will depend on the oils that you use. Certain oils are more notorious for creating a barrier around the hair fiber than others. But the goal of this step is to create a coating that protects the hair from shampoo! Which is why I recommend adding a mask on top of the oil. This process works great for me but might not be for everyone 😊
Yes! Thanks to you I have finally started taking care of my hair. I love that you are introducing a step-by-step approach- that gives me time to educate myself and buy accordingly instead of wasting my money. Plus I don’t feel overwhelmed, Thank you 😊!
I always brush my hair before I shower. It just makes sense...I have not tried lathering my shampoo in my palms first...but I do completely soak my hair in water first. Every once in a while I'll do a vinegar spray, tea spray; or an oil on my scalp to my ends before I shower. I put the conditioner on and let it sit while I'm shaving and so on. Before I rinse the a wide comb and comb it through. I've even got my husband on a healthy long hair journey!
I've heard that you're not meant to emulsify a shampoo in your hands, because lots of suds when emulsifying on your scalp is an indicator that your hair is clean now (according to some hairstylists on youtube: the blowout professor & manes by mell).
It’s actually the suds themselves that is doing the cleaning. They even teach us that in healthcare, when we are taught proper handwashing. The bubbles in the suds actually grab onto not just the oil and dirt, but the bacteria as well. When you apply your shampoo the way that Blowout Professor does, you STILL have to work it into a lather to develop suds to do the job. Abbey’s method in this video is to help spread those suds more evenly and to make sure you cover the whole scalp. But much like Blowout Professor, she is also sectioning her hair when she does it. Both RUclipsrs are using a good method, but the common denominator and the key to it is to make sure you’re getting your whole scalp by sectioning your hair.
Started to double shampoo and I've managed to push the wash day on the 4th day ☺️ I've also started to try out various scalp clearing /p purifying shampoos and my first thoughts are 😍 Love your hair tips!
Wow, I started training my hair to not be so greasy about 9 months ago. I was still having such greasy hair the next day after shampooing. I would even put dry shampoo in my hair the night before and it was still greasy. Then I tried these simple tricks of lathering shampoo and making sure the shampoo was completely rinsed out. It worked! I’ve been going 3-4 days without any grease (still using dry shampoo of course) but it’s been a game changer! Thanks so much! Crazy I’ve been doing it wrong all my life 😂
I really needed this video! I’ve been washing my hair twice ever since I switched to SLS free shampoo because the lather is so weak on the first pass that I always feel like I need to go back and do it a second time, which always produces better sudsing. I assume the scrubbing motion I’m doing the first time is saturating my roots in a way that just standing under the spray is not accomplishing and that’s why the second wash seems to go much better than the first. Also, I just love your makeup in this video. Your lipstick is gorgeous and I love the brown flicked out liner. It’s more subtle looking than most cat eyes I see people do and it makes your eyes look huge.
Great video. I am very specific about this too. I explained just the other day to my 13 yr old w curls for days like me to lather in your hands and slide your hands again the scalp on both sides near ears, underneath in the back on the scalp and in the middle back of head (only spot either of us get greasy) I said it's about the scalp, not the lengths of your hair. We already have dry hair.
I read a article that said if you struggle with oil control, you should apply shampoo to dry hair, then get your hair wet. Since oil doesn’t mix with water… then wash a second time if you need to. What are your thoughts? Contemplating trying it out for my wash tomorrow, to see if it helps with oil throughout the next week..
I watched this video wondering how I could possibly learn anything new about shampooing my hair, but of course you delivered Abbey! 😂 I'm going to try lathering my shampoo in my hands next time I wash. I have a quick question about the pre-shampoo oil + deep conditioning method. Would applying oil before conditioner prevent your hair from benefiting fully from the conditioner because of the occlusivity of the oil? Just wondering because I always apply oil last in my skincare routine to lock in moisture. What are your thoughts?
I never comment or really interact with videos but literally when you said "bend and snap" I rolled with laughter so hard. Great content babe, keep up all the hard work. It is much appreciated x
I loved this vid, as I do all of them! I learn so much! I’d never think to emulsify my shampoo before I wash! It’s been about 10 days so it’s definitely a wash day & I’m not gonna use my (short) nails to scrub anymore either! (Among other things, I learned that you look SO much better without makeup! But I’m all about not wearing makeup.)
Great video! ❤️💖💙I've always had such long, thick hair I've had to bend over and flip my head downward to wash all of my hair. It's such a pain but I'm glad to see I've been doing everything right by instinct. Every two years I donate 12+ inches, do you have any recommendations for where is a good place for hair donation? I no longer donate to Locks of Love and the last two places never even let me know they received my hair.
Great video, didnt even think about all the things im doing to contribute to my already thin hair loss! Im down to washing twice a week (from a religiously daily washer my whole life) but my hairs still really oily, will give the double shampoo a go :)
I wash my hair once a week and it is never greasy or dirty but maybe because I am used to that since i was young so my scalp doesn’t produce so much oils. You can do that too even at old age but you will notice that your hair gets greasy in the beginning because you are nit used to it but with time your scalp will get used to it.
I've heard that applying shampoo in circular motions (which Abbey did in the video) on your scalp increases the risk of tangling and breakage. Thoughts?
What are your tips for those of us that workout (almost) daily and get SUPER sweaty? I want to wash less but if I don’t wash, my hair is gross and weighed down 🫠
@Abby Young make sure you always use Pureology shampoo and conditioner that will keep your hair beautiful and healthy , Joico Lumishine Shampoo and Joico Lumishine Conditioner I’m hoping that Joico can make Joico Lumishine UV Shield Leave in Conditioner
Great videos Abbey! I too have long natural blonde hair so I know the trials and tribulations we go through on wash day. I have extremely oily hair and have done almost everything under the sun to help my tresses. I am now using a cider vinegar shampoo that actually keeps the grease at bay halfway into the third day post shampoo! 🙌 Have you ever used a dry to wet shampoo product? eg Tweak’d by Nature. If so, what are your thoughts? Being a blonde takes work and your hair shows your commitment!
Hi Abbey, my name is Diana and I’m starting my hair repair/growth journey and I’m literally watching all of your videos on the topic. With that I have a question when doing the oil on the ends and the hair mask is this better to do before or after shampooing? I hope this isn’t a stupid question I did see you used it on dry hair I believe on here but I do have very damaged ends so I just want to know what’s the best way 😊 Thank you so much for all these videos you have helped me understand so much and can’t wait to show my results ☺️
Did these tips and wow I’m impressed. I usually wash my hair every 3 days because 3rd day my hair is usually getting greasy. But I washed my hair Friday night and Tuesday My hair still looked great not greasy at all!
I'm 55 and I needed this. I have been actively searching for a video just like this! My unruly, bushy, cowlicky hair has never been washed correctly. If I had washed it correctly my whole life, I would have known that my coarse horsetail hair was extremely dry, low porosity, curly hair! Water is soooo underrated when it comes to hair. Please, would you define tangle? I know it sounds so simple but...I've always brushed, until a year ago. I don't get knots like other people do. Is it just different terminology?
So glad to help! I consider tangles to be less severe forms of knots. Tangles can be brushed through whereas knots would break off if you tried to brush straight through them
I can't go that long between washes. it literally irritates my scalp and I break out into massive dandruff if I go more than 4 days without a wash. argan oil can turn blonde hair yellow. I also feel like argan dries my hair out. I use a combination oil of meadow foam seed and argan.
Have you already covered anything about increasing circulation to the scalp helping hair grow healthier or faster? I’ve heard of massage and handstands helping
I've been watching a lot of your videos this week. So helpful! Do you not use Olaplex routinely? I saw your review and you seemed to like it but the wash day videos don't seem to use any Olaplex.
Thanks Abbey 💕 great info! Combination hair here.. I have different shampoo and conditioner depending on what it’s doing 😆 those tips will be very helpful! 🥰
Please do a conditioner video, too - specifically, how to "wring" the water out of your hair - how to minimize damage while taking it down from sopping wet before using a turban. 😁
On it!!
Thiiissssss

When you apply your shampoo the way that Blowout Professor does, you STILL have to work it into a lather to develop suds to do the job. Abbey’s method in this video is to help spread those suds more evenly and to make sure you cover the whole scalp. But much like Blowout Professor, she is also sectioning her hair when she does it.
Both RUclipsrs are using a good method, but the common denominator and the key to it is to make sure you’re getting your whole scalp by sectioning your hair.
Started to double shampoo and I've managed to push the wash day on the 4th day ☺️ I've also started to try out various scalp clearing /p purifying shampoos and my first thoughts are 😍
Love your hair tips!
Hey witch purifying shampoos you been using
Wow, I started training my hair to not be so greasy about 9 months ago. I was still having such greasy hair the next day after shampooing. I would even put dry shampoo in my hair the night before and it was still greasy. Then I tried these simple tricks of lathering shampoo and making sure the shampoo was completely rinsed out. It worked! I’ve been going 3-4 days without any grease (still using dry shampoo of course) but it’s been a game changer! Thanks so much! Crazy I’ve been doing it wrong all my life 😂
I’m at the tail end of my playa and gisou hair oils, i would love to see an oil dedicated video to see what’s good to purchase next!
Second this!
You put your hair mask on dry hair!? I might love that! I hate sitting in the shower waiting for it to sit on and do its thing.
I really needed this video! I’ve been washing my hair twice ever since I switched to SLS free shampoo because the lather is so weak on the first pass that I always feel like I need to go back and do it a second time, which always produces better sudsing. I assume the scrubbing motion I’m doing the first time is saturating my roots in a way that just standing under the spray is not accomplishing and that’s why the second wash seems to go much better than the first.
Also, I just love your makeup in this video. Your lipstick is gorgeous and I love the brown flicked out liner. It’s more subtle looking than most cat eyes I see people do and it makes your eyes look huge.
Yes to the video on your favorite leave in oils! 🙌🏾🖤
Great video. I am very specific about this too. I explained just the other day to my 13 yr old w curls for days like me to lather in your hands and slide your hands again the scalp on both sides near ears, underneath in the back on the scalp and in the middle back of head (only spot either of us get greasy) I said it's about the scalp, not the lengths of your hair. We already have dry hair.
A hair dresser online said not to emulsify the shampoo before. Because you need that emulsifier on your scalp.
Thank you for your helpful tips!! Lathering up in my hands ahead of applying to scalp made a HUGE difference. Thank you!!
I loved shampooing twice because of my oily scalp, but now I have dyed my hair red and I'm scared that will make it fade so much faster!
Your hair looks so good here.
Definitely going to emulsify shampoo before applying to scalp! Thank you for the tips!
I read a article that said if you struggle with oil control, you should apply shampoo to dry hair, then get your hair wet. Since oil doesn’t mix with water… then wash a second time if you need to. What are your thoughts? Contemplating trying it out for my wash tomorrow, to see if it helps with oil throughout the next week..
Yes please do a video on your favorite hair oils!!!
Yes please to favorite hair oil video!
Wow I think this is about to be life changing for my oily/greasy/product built up scalp !! Thank you
I watched this video wondering how I could possibly learn anything new about shampooing my hair, but of course you delivered Abbey! 😂 I'm going to try lathering my shampoo in my hands next time I wash.
I have a quick question about the pre-shampoo oil + deep conditioning method. Would applying oil before conditioner prevent your hair from benefiting fully from the conditioner because of the occlusivity of the oil? Just wondering because I always apply oil last in my skincare routine to lock in moisture. What are your thoughts?
I never comment or really interact with videos but literally when you said "bend and snap" I rolled with laughter so hard. Great content babe, keep up all the hard work. It is much appreciated x
I loved this vid, as I do all of them! I learn so much! I’d never think to emulsify my shampoo before I wash! It’s been about 10 days so it’s definitely a wash day & I’m not gonna use my (short) nails to scrub anymore either! (Among other things, I learned that you look SO much better without makeup! But I’m all about not wearing makeup.)
Great video! ❤️💖💙I've always had such long, thick hair I've had to bend over and flip my head downward to wash all of my hair. It's such a pain but I'm glad to see I've been doing everything right by instinct. Every two years I donate 12+ inches, do you have any recommendations for where is a good place for hair donation? I no longer donate to Locks of Love and the last two places never even let me know they received my hair.
Great video, didnt even think about all the things im doing to contribute to my already thin hair loss!
Im down to washing twice a week (from a religiously daily washer my whole life) but my hairs still really oily, will give the double shampoo a go :)
The ‘lathering’ doesn’t actually clean your hair. The suds are just there for your Brian to think it’s cleaning.
I wash my hair once a week and it is never greasy or dirty but maybe because I am used to that since i was young so my scalp doesn’t produce so much oils. You can do that too even at old age but you will notice that your hair gets greasy in the beginning because you are nit used to it but with time your scalp will get used to it.
Please do a video with your updated hair wash routine including what do you add after your hair is washed please 💖💖💖
I've heard that applying shampoo in circular motions (which Abbey did in the video) on your scalp increases the risk of tangling and breakage. Thoughts?
What are your tips for those of us that workout (almost) daily and get SUPER sweaty? I want to wash less but if I don’t wash, my hair is gross and weighed down 🫠
Blonde Life powder is always good and 30 volume veroxide
Blonde Life powder is always good
@Abby Young make sure you always use Pureology shampoo and conditioner that will keep your hair beautiful and healthy , Joico Lumishine Shampoo and Joico Lumishine Conditioner
I’m hoping that Joico can make Joico Lumishine UV Shield Leave in Conditioner
Great videos Abbey! I too have long natural blonde hair so I know the trials and tribulations we go through on wash day. I have extremely oily hair and have done almost everything under the sun to help my tresses. I am now using a cider vinegar shampoo that actually keeps the grease at bay halfway into the third day post shampoo! 🙌 Have you ever used a dry to wet shampoo product? eg Tweak’d by Nature. If so, what are your thoughts? Being a blonde takes work and your hair shows your commitment!
I bought one of those head massagers for the shower that you recommended before and I loveee it so much!!
You look sooo stunning without makeup woowww like a swedish supermodel
Hi Abbey, my name is Diana and I’m starting my hair repair/growth journey and I’m literally watching all of your videos on the topic. With that I have a question when doing the oil on the ends and the hair mask is this better to do before or after shampooing? I hope this isn’t a stupid question I did see you used it on dry hair I believe on here but I do have very damaged ends so I just want to know what’s the best way 😊 Thank you so much for all these videos you have helped me understand so much and can’t wait to show my results ☺️
Did these tips and wow I’m impressed. I usually wash my hair every 3 days because 3rd day my hair is usually getting greasy. But I washed my hair Friday night and Tuesday My hair still looked great not greasy at all!
The Kevin Murphy clarifying shampoo is also great for buildup!
i have it on 2x speed and i caught the bend and snap reference lol. i really didn’t see enough comments talking about this
I would love to see a hair oil video! 👑
I just followed all of these tips to wash my hair and it literally wasn’t even tangled when I went to brush it after😮
Definitely will shampoo the scalp and let the shampoo rinse out the strands without adding more shampoo to the ends.
Would love a video on hair oils! :)
I'm 55 and I needed this. I have been actively searching for a video just like this! My unruly, bushy, cowlicky hair has never been washed correctly. If I had washed it correctly my whole life, I would have known that my coarse horsetail hair was extremely dry, low porosity, curly hair! Water is soooo underrated when it comes to hair. Please, would you define tangle? I know it sounds so simple but...I've always brushed, until a year ago. I don't get knots like other people do. Is it just different terminology?
So glad to help! I consider tangles to be less severe forms of knots. Tangles can be brushed through whereas knots would break off if you tried to brush straight through them
Enjoy the weekend, Abbey!❤️
What about when you have ran a marathon and hair is impossible to brush out before washing?
I can't go that long between washes. it literally irritates my scalp and I break out into massive dandruff if I go more than 4 days without a wash. argan oil can turn blonde hair yellow. I also feel like argan dries my hair out. I use a combination oil of meadow foam seed and argan.
very informative video, ty for sharing! love your makeup in this vid , can you please some GRWM tutorials, id love to see them
Please do a video for hair oils! I need some recommendations! Thank you! :)
The largest Bottles of sulfate free shampoo ever made and sulfate free conditioner
It’s very important
Thanks Abbey...so fun to know that I use all your tips! So affirming:)
Amazing!!
Please do a video of the leave-in oils you love 💕
Have you already covered anything about increasing circulation to the scalp helping hair grow healthier or faster? I’ve heard of massage and handstands helping
LOVE your videos! Thank you so much for this helpful information xx
I love this healthy hair journey 💛
Love the video! That lipstick looks awesome on you!
I've been watching a lot of your videos this week. So helpful! Do you not use Olaplex routinely? I saw your review and you seemed to like it but the wash day videos don't seem to use any Olaplex.
Thanks Abbey 💕 great info! Combination hair here.. I have different shampoo and conditioner depending on what it’s doing 😆 those tips will be very helpful! 🥰
Very helpful but would love tips for those of us with severe plaque psoriasis scales on scalp.
