A hair dryer showdown - both high end and affordable please! I just can’t afford a Shark or Dyson, but would like a good quality affordable hair dryer. 😊
I just got the Bondi Boost Sonic Hair Dryer (I think it’s on sale right now) and oh my gosh it’s the best blowdryer I’ve ever used. I’ve never tried Dyson or Shark but in terms of generic dryers it’s absolutely fantastic. Ionic technology, super quiet and light weight, lots of different speed and heat options (plus a cool shot), a diffuser and concentrator attachment and there’s a self cleaning feature?? It tried my hair in about half the amount of time that my previous blowdryer did and I had pretty much no frizz. I wouldn’t recommend any of their shampoos or conditioners but the blowdryer is amazing!!
For people who don’t have a microfiber towel, I use old T-shirts! While they can’t hold as much liquid as the towel, they are very smooth and (I find) don’t damage your hair. Plus, most people have a million t shirts lying around, or you can get one at goodwill for $3
I use tshirts too. And after I squeeze the excess water from my lengths and ends, I place it on top of my head and pat it down, to soak up the water there too.
I have so damaged hair and had no hope until I discovered you channel! 4 weeks ago I started from 0. I bought all your recommended products. After 6 months I am soooo excited to do an before after picture because nothing helpef me until now ❤
Listening to The Blowout Professor, he indicated that some heat protectors are for blow drying only because they only protect up to say, 170 degrees whereas thermal heat protectors are for using with irons because they protect up to 400 degrees. That is why I use two different ones.
Many times I’m blow drying on wash day but then curling a day or two later so it’s good to have options. Check the labels for temperature rating and also whether the product is intended for use on wet or dry hair.
Hey Abbey! I’ve been following along for 4ish years now and wanted to say thank you so much for transforming my hair!! I actually would not have fabulous hair if it wasn’t for you 😅 Every time I see you have a new video I’m ready to take notes 🤓 You’re the best thank you so much!!
Time stamp 12 minutes, yes YES YES, as a long-time stylist, we do use the term "rough style". And I prefer it too. Get the hair mostly dry before picking up that brush for the least amount of damage!
But that only works best for women whose hair is mostly straight to begin with. Do you ask your client whether that is what they prefer though? Because I have hair that is more on the dry frizzy side, that if left to air dry, looks more like cotton candy. That's just always been my hair texture since little. I live in Puerto Rico and even the cheapest stylist here is an expert in straightening treatments and blowouts and they just automatically do a straight blowout for every customer unless you tell them you don't want that. So it frustrates me when I go back to the states and the stylist dries my hair the way they would dry a straight haired person, with the rough dry technique. The results are just not as straight and silky.
@@Kay2be2mr I live in Miami, HEAVILY hispanic...I am PRO at that curly hair, and YES< I do rough dry all hair. ALL HAIR. And my blowdries last a week on these clients. The assessment that it "only works on people with mostly straight hair" is FALSE! My hair is not straight and i do it the SAME WAY.
Abbey thank you!!! I watched all of the routine videos yesterday, washed my hair today and blow dryed it.. it took almost 2 hours in total but all the work is worth it!!! My hair is so shimmery soft and clean wow I’m so impressed . Thanks for knowledge and sharing it with us al ❤❤❤
Love all your videos!!! As a more mature person with thin/fine gray hair, I appreciate all your recommendations on how to protect my hair!! Could you do a video on any special recommendations for gray hair? Also, maybe a video on Asian hair care products? I started using Tsubaki shampoo & conditioner and I'm really liking them. They don't weigh my hair down, as I like to add volume to my hair. Thank you and many blessings!!!💖💖💖
Today is wash day and I can't wait to try this out. My hair and scalp are really similar to yours, and your other hair breakdowns have turned my hair from a big tangled puff to a shining wheaten river that cascades down my shoulders. So like. Big thank you haha 💖
hello! first I wanna say tysm bc your videos have quite literally SAVED my hair 😭 but I wanted to ask (if this is even possible bc ik you have straight hair) if you had any recommendations for drying and straightening curly hair? I always straighten my hair bc I’ve found it’s easier for me and I honestly don’t wanna switch completely to natural so I would love some tips on how to keep your hair healthy w curly hair as well :D
Yes for hairdryer video! You’ve mentioned the Panasonic nano in your video about the repronizer so I’ve been curious about that one ever since. Wondering how it performs compared to the Shark!
Yes I would love a video on testing out the different styling sprays/mousse like specifically between Pantene volume mousse and the L’Oréal Paris boost it volume inject mousse.. those would be great starter affordable styling products for those of us just now getting into the game of hair care 😊
I would loooove and affordable option showdown for blow dryers! Btw had my hair done yesterday at the stylist and she commented on how healthyy hair was looking and feeling...I told her it was all you! Thanks for sharing with us! ❤
Please yes to the blowdryer video. Noone breaks it down like you, Abbey! What do all the things even mean?? Ceramic, nano, tourmeline, ionic..makes my head spin!
Abbey, Bumble and Bumble now has a soft hold styling cream, the "Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Oil Long Last Styling Cream." I picked it up in Sephora a few months ago expecting nothing and I love it. I've used up about a quarter of the tube just using it every wash (I also wash 3x a week). I have wavy, frizzy hair but I style my hair into waves with a round brush and my blowdryer. I pretty much accepted my hair style is a day one situation and then the next few days, it falls quite a bit, but with the B&B, it actually holds its shape pretty well! Of course it isn't a strong hold product, but I prefer that since I like my hair to feel very soft and touchable. The new Keratase Ultime oil is also MAGIC. I got a sample and holy moly it makes my greying, slightly wirey hair SO soft and frizz free. I rushed out to Sephora the next day for a full size. I put a pump in my hair every day and cannot leave home without it now.
I’m obsessed with the revlon blow dryer brush! I dry my roots with a regular blow dryer and then use the revlon on the low setting (less damage!) and then touch up any spot with a flat iron. It sounds like a lot but it’s so much fast than what I used to do because I have frizzy hair!
I have a Revlon that I travel with- it gets very hot but dries my hair very quickly. Mostly when I’m traveling I want my hair to dry as fast as possible. At home I have the L’ange le volume- it is only slightly slower than the Revlon but doesn’t get as hot.
Hi Abbey! I’d like to see a review of the Parlux 320 hair dryer. Definitely one of the most popular hair dryers in Italy, I literally see it in every hair salon!
Thank you for going really back to basics on this. A lot of us are really learning from scratch so really appreciate you explaining things that might seem obvious!
Si you put on this oil before washing g your hair? I bought it and put it on damp hair but it made my hair sort of heavy, and I used very little product 😐
I use the bioionic 10x straightener and it is amazing. It glides and never tugs at my hair. It's a little pricey but it works forever. I have had mine 3 years and my daughter has dropped it a million times and it works perfect
I hit the 'Like' button before watching the video because I've been waiting for it for so long! 😍 I tried to collect the info from your older videos but was still quietly dreaming of a new one fully dedicated to this subject. So thanks a lot! I'm gradually introducing some of the products you recommend/review and as a result, my hair and skin have never looked and felt so good! 🥳Thank you for all your work!
I hope with your styling Hold video you show how you use these products. Do you just use one hold product for curling, or do use another as a finishing spray to hold the curl? Also I would love a review of volumizing products, which hold without being too stiff, which cause your hair to be less greasy in between washes.
my favourite cream to hold curls is the L'Oreal Elnett Crème de Mousse Curls! I have quite stubborn hair but this actually holds it even my heatless curls, just apply to damp to slightly moist hair. I would love for you to try it and to hear your thoughts :) EDIT: I'm not sure if you can get this is this USA or not I think the closest thing may be the L'Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Curve It 24 Hour Hi Definition Hair Styling Mousse but I'm not sure? Either way the creme de mousse is fabulous and may be worth importing!
Please try some babyliss pro heat tools! Flat iron, hair dyer, and curling iron/wand. Ive heard good things and I love the color of them so I'm tempted lol
See. Just as I said before, whenever I need urgent help with something related to hair or skin or makeup, Abbey comes out right about in time. I just opened the RUclips for some hairstyling tutorials for an event tomorrow and your video is just right there in the first with the solution. Thanks Abbey for making my life easier always. Love and hugs 🧡
I'm a second into the video and already hitting like and getting so excited for all the info!!! It's so much fun following a creator who's so into haircare science but also realizes that we want our hair to look nice and styled!
Will you please do a favorite sulfate free product video or short for those who have keratin treatments? I've been following your recommendations and have had a lot of success, and with plans of getting a keratin treatment, I'd like to continue taking care of my products
Maybe test the Redken thermal spray high hold. Or Kenra platinum hit spray. Also a hair dryer to test would be the Harry Josh. Love all your content and have incorporated so many of your suggestions.
Thank you! I, too, hated the Dyson hair dryer- a ball of frizzy tangles. I thought I was the only one who hated that thing. Love the Dyson Air Straight and Corral straightener. Your hair is beautiful.
I would definitely love a video on the shark flex fusion. I hadn't even heard of that one yet. I use the aquis hair towel, and it's been my favorite so far. 💜
I definitely agree with all your steps, and I came up with it myself as you did through so much trial and error. I even use a cream leave in with heat protectant (Olaplex 6&7) and then Living Proof before I use an iron. Your brushing technique too. ^_^ thank you for the video!
Thank you for being realisitc when it comes to styling! A lot of hair care influencers always talk about their journey and not using heat on their hair. Good for them, but that's just not realistic when it comes to my fine, curly, frizzy hair.... I use the Shark Flexstyle, the blow dryer & round brush, and it has done wonders for my hair. I know that it will cause damage but unfortunately for me a "rough" blow dry and a curling iron isn't enough for my hair. The products you talk about has really stepped up my hair game when it comes to damage and overall look and health of my hair.
Would love for you to do a video on a quicker dry/style approach. I wash my hair before work, so I don’t have 20-30 minutes to let my hair air dry .. I get out of the shower, throw it in a microfibre towel while I do my face and then blow dry and style. Are there tricks to preventing damage doing it this way ?
This was so helpful! I have naturally curly hair and have been wearing it curly my entire life. But, I’m tired of the LONG time it takes to dry. Like 5-7hrs even when I diffuse! And I don’t always have great hair days & it ends up in a bun. I also have thinner spots due to Cvd hairloss & perimenopause hairloss. So,,,I’ve been wearing my hair straighter the past 2wks. Dries SO MUCH faster! Also hides my thin crown & spots due to no curl clumps. 😊 I use a heat brush by Bondi Boost as the final step bc my hair is coarse. And bc it wants to curl. All your hair videos are helpful. Even when I was curly. Thank you!!
I personally apply leave-ins right when I get out of the shower before drying my hair at all. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the way my air dries when I do this. When I towel dry my hair before putting in any leave-ins, my hair is noticeably more frizzy and my wave pattern is less consistent. I have thick dense hair.
@ I’m always trying new products but the best one I’ve tried is the pattern curl define leave in conditioner. I have wavy hair but it leaves my hair looking so silky and not frizzy at all. They have a mini version that you can try

I honestly can’t imagine spending $400 on a blow dryer. That’s cool for those who do, no hate, just not possible for me. My amazing hair dresser recommended the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium, I’ve been using it a year or two and love it, that in combo with her other recs have changed the hair game for me. My hair is almost down to may wait because of less breakage and less need to cut as much when I get it trimmed. Have incorporated a lot of Abbey’s techniques too-it takes a village to get healthy hair 😂❤
I have very fine hair as well and my hair never held curls (yes I tried everything you could think of)! Then I bought the L'ANGE Le Duo 360° Airflow 2-in-1 Hair Styler and it’s a game changer! So if you’re looking for a more affordable curling tool I would try that one. It took me a little bit to get used to using a straightener but it holds curls like nothing else I’ve tried! I also don’t feel like I have heat on it for as long because you are just pulling the straightener through instead. Would love to know your thoughts!
Just want to say that your hair is out of this world, never seen a gorgeous hair like yours in my life, sooo jealous 😊, love all you’re videos, every time I watch I need to buy a hair stuff 🙈😅 ❤
you mentioned in an earlier video about healthy long soft hair.... 1st Leave in conditioner then 2nd oil mids and ends and then finish with a cream... What type of cream exactly? ( for someone NOT wanting curls ...)
I learned heat protectant we put in our hair when it’s wet, is the first defense only for the blow dry. If we’re going to then go in with a hot tool, then we need to add another heat protectant. Same if we style again on day two or three, add another heat protectant. Also when you said to not keep the hot tool in your hair for very long to avoid heat damage… I get so anxious when I see people doing videos leaving the curling iron in the same piece of hair for like 30 seconds. Like I’m just waiting for the entire thing to detach from their head into the curling iron. 🔥 I leave mine in the curling iron for literally three seconds. 😊
Hi ! A question from me - do you think a chemical treatment like Brazilian Blowdry is better for your hair over the course of 3 months than regularly using straighteners/styling tools to keep hair smooth daily ?
I get my hair permed to look like loose curls 2-3 times a year, and it’s definitely healthier than when I was curling it with heat protection a couple times a week. :) Not the same procedure, but thought I’d mention since it’s also a chemical process that uses heat
I'd love to see a comparison video between the Shark dryer and the Shark Flex styler. I'm a stylist, and my 3 year old Dyson dryer decided to cut out on me after only 6 days of regular use in the salon!! I opted for the Shark dryer because I just wasn't sure the Flex styler was "professional" enough for the salon (it's also more expensive), but I'm still smitten with it.
Hi Abbey! These are the steps I follow after washing my hair : hair oil on damp hair + heat protectant + blow drying. Am I doing it right ? Hair oil first right ? Thank you so much for your help 💕🙏
I would love to see a showdown between different style/hold products, from creams to hairsprays! I recently got the R+Co cream but have only used it once, so can’t speak on it much yet, and I also ordered their anti-humidity spray in preparation for a Florida trip. Fingers crossed my hair stays in tact 😂 I have a hard time preventing my hair from completely falling, but I don’t want to spend money on a million different products to find the right one😭
Sorry if you already answered this, what do you do to your hair when you sleep? Do you put it up? Do you have any recommendations for a back sleeper that hates the feeling of sleeping with my hair up?
I don’t trust the heat protection in leave-in conditioning sprays alone to protect my hair from hot tools post-blow dry. I’ve been told by multiple hair stylists that leave in conditioner is not enough on its own, as it’s a multi tasking product it’s mainly just enough protection for whatever heat your hair is exposed to upon blow drying. You’re often also not applying enough of those as well to fully coat your hair as they are thicker/heavier than a traditional heat protectant sprays. I will always stand behind using a product intended JUST for heat protection before going in with any straighteners / curling wands on dry hair since they are way more damaging.
So when you apply a hair mask should you brush thru your hair with the mask in? I’ve heard you should but also you shouldn’t comb thru soaking wet hair? Just curious what everybody else does
First of all, the dove hair mask!!! My hair has literally never been softer. Second, do you have thoughts on the Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler? And lastly, do you still offer your hair care guide for sale? Thanks for all you do--you’re my absolute go to 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have seborrheic dermatitis on scalp. I’m between the inkey list treatment or the dermazen treatment for the scalp. I use head and shoulders daily clean shampoo, not your mothers dry shampoo, redken multi use/leave in conditioner, and Sebastian hairspray.
I have seen that Laifen hairdryer are also pretty good and they are affordable. Plus they tend to have multiple offers and different hairdryer deppending on your needs. It's on my wishlist for a while, but all the reviews I have seen are pretty good, just in case you want to try a new one ^^
hello, i just recently discovered you and i love your videos ❤ i was wondering how long your whole routine takes you to complete? it seems to me it takes a while and might be difficult to do during the week when you're working? i usually shower and wash my hair in the morning before work because if I do it before i go to bed, my hair doesnt look as good in the morning.. what do you recommend if you only have 30-60 mins to wash and dry your hair?
May you please talk about blowdrying hair from wet to dry on the cool setting on the blowdryer? I imagine this would take way longer if drying 15 cm away from hair
May I suggest Parlux hairdryers? My mother has been working as a hairstylist for over 40 years and she swears by those. I personally own one and it's the best thing I've ever found to dry my thick, coarse, wavy hair. Beats shark, for sure.
Hi Abbey! I was wondering when you started washing your hair three times per week, from originally once a week, then twice, and now three times. Does your hair become dirty that fast? I was just curious, as I have long hair like yours but only wash once per week and it is very healthy. Thank you so much!😊🙏🏻💕
I think that she realized that it's ok to wash your hair as often as you need to due to oiliness. I think she was doing once a week, and it just wasn't enough to keep her scalp clean, so she started washing as often as needed to keep her scalp clean, which is the most important thing. Hope this helps. If your scalp is healthy with once a week, it's fine.
@ambernoland1506 yep! She just did a video about it. It was entirely for her scalp health that she changed and started washing her hair more. I can also go longer, it really just depends on the person I think.
I just can’t believe that before electricity (hair dryers) when everyone had to air dry, that everyone’s hair fell out. My hair is wavy and I have in the past blew it dry, but now I air dry mostly and leave it wavy. My scalp and follicles (as well as many in the wavy/curly community) are fine. I wouldn’t worry. 😊
Thank you I would've loved to have seen more of it after you had blow dried it? And how you did the last bit of styling when you were not using any other tools. How does it look with just a blow dry? Thank you so much :)
Ouai used to have an amazing product, Memory Mist. It held curls beautifully, added heat protection and didn’t weigh down my hair. For some unknown reason they discontinued it and I have never been able to find a replacement.
Hi Abbey, Have you ever tried Kérastase products and are they worth the higher price point? My stylist keeps recommending the line but not sure if I feel it is worth it? I also am going through the very bleached damaged hair journey back to my natural color of ashy blonde/brown. I don’t love it as I have been bleaching my hair since teenage years so it is quite the adjustment but know that it will be better for my hair health in the end. I appreciate your knowledge and meticulousness on hair care, health and ingredients we should be looking for in our hair care products. Thank You!!! Your hair is Gorgeous! ♥️
Whenever I flat ironed my hair and need a product to hold up my style, I would use John Frieda 3 day straight with keratin flat iron spray. Let us know your thoughts on John Frieda. ❤ ur videos 😊
Do you have any suggestions for good fragrance-free haircare products? Shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioners/heat protectants, styling products. I've become allergic to fragrance but I'm struggling to find good fragrance-free haircare. I've tried Vanicream, Seen, and Philip Kingsley products, but they all dry out my hair and scalp 😢. I miss my old drugstore fragranced products. They made my hair look so good!
A hair dryer showdown - both high end and affordable please! I just can’t afford a Shark or Dyson, but would like a good quality affordable hair dryer. 😊
Yes please !! I’m on my fourth Amazon order for a hair dryer and will send that one back like the 3 other before it 😩

Exactly ! I wanted to talk about blowout professor. He did a great video to show the difference betwen heat protectors with a blowtorch ^^
I only use a heat protectant that is specifically meant for it.... Not something that includes a heat protectant

my favourite cream to hold curls is the L'Oreal Elnett Crème de Mousse Curls! I have quite stubborn hair but this actually holds it even my heatless curls, just apply to damp to slightly moist hair. I would love for you to try it and to hear your thoughts :)
EDIT: I'm not sure if you can get this is this USA or not I think the closest thing may be the L'Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Curve It 24 Hour Hi Definition Hair Styling Mousse but I'm not sure? Either way the creme de mousse is fabulous and may be worth importing!
Please try some babyliss pro heat tools! Flat iron, hair dyer, and curling iron/wand. Ive heard good things and I love the color of them so I'm tempted lol
See. Just as I said before, whenever I need urgent help with something related to hair or skin or makeup, Abbey comes out right about in time. I just opened the RUclips for some hairstyling tutorials for an event tomorrow and your video is just right there in the first with the solution. Thanks Abbey for making my life easier always. Love and hugs 🧡
I'm a second into the video and already hitting like and getting so excited for all the info!!! It's so much fun following a creator who's so into haircare science but also realizes that we want our hair to look nice and styled!
As a trichologist, can you do a video for wavy curly hair? Please.
yes pleasee
Will you please do a favorite sulfate free product video or short for those who have keratin treatments? I've been following your recommendations and have had a lot of success, and with plans of getting a keratin treatment, I'd like to continue taking care of my products
Maybe test the Redken thermal spray high hold. Or Kenra platinum hit spray. Also a hair dryer to test would be the Harry Josh. Love all your content and have incorporated so many of your suggestions.
Thank you! I, too, hated the Dyson hair dryer- a ball of frizzy tangles. I thought I was the only one who hated that thing. Love the Dyson Air Straight and Corral straightener. Your hair is beautiful.
Would love a hair dryer video!!
I would definitely love a video on the shark flex fusion. I hadn't even heard of that one yet. I use the aquis hair towel, and it's been my favorite so far. 💜
Yes! Love the aquis towels! I just found a bunch of them for $10 at TJMaxx and bought 3.😬
I definitely agree with all your steps, and I came up with it myself as you did through so much trial and error. I even use a cream leave in with heat protectant (Olaplex 6&7) and then Living Proof before I use an iron. Your brushing technique too. ^_^ thank you for the video!
Thank you for being realisitc when it comes to styling! A lot of hair care influencers always talk about their journey and not using heat on their hair. Good for them, but that's just not realistic when it comes to my fine, curly, frizzy hair.... I use the Shark Flexstyle, the blow dryer & round brush, and it has done wonders for my hair. I know that it will cause damage but unfortunately for me a "rough" blow dry and a curling iron isn't enough for my hair. The products you talk about has really stepped up my hair game when it comes to damage and overall look and health of my hair.
Would love for you to do a video on a quicker dry/style approach. I wash my hair before work, so I don’t have 20-30 minutes to let my hair air dry .. I get out of the shower, throw it in a microfibre towel while I do my face and then blow dry and style. Are there tricks to preventing damage doing it this way ?
Does your blow dryer have a cool air option? It might take a little longer to dry without heat, but it’ll still only be around 10 minutes max!” ✨🫰
Happy Sunday! I've been waiting for this video. Thank you always❤
Happy Sunday! Thanks for watching ❤
This was so helpful! I have naturally curly hair and have been wearing it curly my entire life. But, I’m tired of the LONG time it takes to dry. Like 5-7hrs even when I diffuse! And I don’t always have great hair days & it ends up in a bun. I also have thinner spots due to Cvd hairloss & perimenopause hairloss. So,,,I’ve been wearing my hair straighter the past 2wks. Dries SO MUCH faster! Also hides my thin crown & spots due to no curl clumps. 😊 I use a heat brush by Bondi Boost as the final step bc my hair is coarse. And bc it wants to curl. All your hair videos are helpful. Even when I was curly. Thank you!!
I personally apply leave-ins right when I get out of the shower before drying my hair at all. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the way my air dries when I do this. When I towel dry my hair before putting in any leave-ins, my hair is noticeably more frizzy and my wave pattern is less consistent. I have thick dense hair.
Hi, I also have wavy frizzy hair but nothing seems to work. Do you mind sharing the products you use ? Thanks
@ I’m always trying new products but the best one I’ve tried is the pattern curl define leave in conditioner. I have wavy hair but it leaves my hair looking so silky and not frizzy at all. They have a mini version that you can try

@@frankie-ek7uo thank you! I will try it
Off topic, but I finally bought the volume and body soap from Pantene! I'm really excited to try it.
I honestly can’t imagine spending $400 on a blow dryer. That’s cool for those who do, no hate, just not possible for me. My amazing hair dresser recommended the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium, I’ve been using it a year or two and love it, that in combo with her other recs have changed the hair game for me. My hair is almost down to may wait because of less breakage and less need to cut as much when I get it trimmed. Have incorporated a lot of Abbey’s techniques too-it takes a village to get healthy hair 😂❤
She has 5 dryers that cost her $3000. Or they were given to her for free and isn’t saying.
I have very fine hair as well and my hair never held curls (yes I tried everything you could think of)! Then I bought the L'ANGE Le Duo 360° Airflow 2-in-1 Hair Styler and it’s a game changer! So if you’re looking for a more affordable curling tool I would try that one. It took me a little bit to get used to using a straightener but it holds curls like nothing else I’ve tried! I also don’t feel like I have heat on it for as long because you are just pulling the straightener through instead. Would love to know your thoughts!
The Revair hair dryer. It’s the most unique hair dryer because it’s kind of a vacuum and uses far less heat. Very curious about it.
Thanks for the great info! Would you be up for showing how you style to get your loose waves?
Just want to say that your hair is out of this world, never seen a gorgeous hair like yours in my life, sooo jealous 😊, love all you’re videos, every time I watch I need to buy a hair stuff 🙈😅 ❤
you mentioned in an earlier video about healthy long soft hair.... 1st Leave in conditioner then 2nd oil mids and ends and then finish with a cream... What type of cream exactly?
( for someone NOT wanting curls ...)
Ohhhh you have me intrigued with the teaser about the loreal dryer ❤
Looks like it is only for professionals.😔
I learned heat protectant we put in our hair when it’s wet, is the first defense only for the blow dry. If we’re going to then go in with a hot tool, then we need to add another heat protectant. Same if we style again on day two or three, add another heat protectant. Also when you said to not keep the hot tool in your hair for very long to avoid heat damage… I get so anxious when I see people doing videos leaving the curling iron in the same piece of hair for like 30 seconds. Like I’m just waiting for the entire thing to detach from their head into the curling iron. 🔥 I leave mine in the curling iron for literally three seconds. 😊
You just made me remember the scene in Little Women when Meg’s hair breaks off because the old (1860s) style curling iron was too hot.
@@LadyDoc Seriously! I forgot about that! 🙂
Hi ! A question from me - do you think a chemical treatment like Brazilian Blowdry is better for your hair over the course of 3 months than regularly using straighteners/styling tools to keep hair smooth daily ?
I get my hair permed to look like loose curls 2-3 times a year, and it’s definitely healthier than when I was curling it with heat protection a couple times a week. :) Not the same procedure, but thought I’d mention since it’s also a chemical process that uses heat
I'd love to see a comparison video between the Shark dryer and the Shark Flex styler. I'm a stylist, and my 3 year old Dyson dryer decided to cut out on me after only 6 days of regular use in the salon!! I opted for the Shark dryer because I just wasn't sure the Flex styler was "professional" enough for the salon (it's also more expensive), but I'm still smitten with it.
I’d love to know what hair color/bleach highlights you do!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the hot tools curling irons
So much great informative, thank you Abbey!
yay thank you for watching ❤
Hi Abbey! These are the steps I follow after washing my hair : hair oil on damp hair + heat protectant + blow drying. Am I doing it right ? Hair oil first right ? Thank you so much for your help 💕🙏
I think oil is always suppose to be last, in hair care and skin care but I could be wrong.
I would love to see a showdown between different style/hold products, from creams to hairsprays! I recently got the R+Co cream but have only used it once, so can’t speak on it much yet, and I also ordered their anti-humidity spray in preparation for a Florida trip. Fingers crossed my hair stays in tact 😂 I have a hard time preventing my hair from completely falling, but I don’t want to spend money on a million different products to find the right one😭
If you do a hair dryer showdown, could you include Laifen Hairdryers? They look so compact and minimalist, would love to know how they perform. 😇
Seconding this! I just put it on my Xmas wishlist 🤩
PLEASE review the Panasonic Nanoe dryer & straightener?
Thank you. ❤
Love your videos! Do you use the highest speed and temperature setting on the shark?
Your videos are pure gold. Thank you Abbey!
Sorry if you already answered this, what do you do to your hair when you sleep? Do you put it up? Do you have any recommendations for a back sleeper that hates the feeling of sleeping with my hair up?
Watch her newest video, she shows the sleep bun
I don’t trust the heat protection in leave-in conditioning sprays alone to protect my hair from hot tools post-blow dry. I’ve been told by multiple hair stylists that leave in conditioner is not enough on its own, as it’s a multi tasking product it’s mainly just enough protection for whatever heat your hair is exposed to upon blow drying. You’re often also not applying enough of those as well to fully coat your hair as they are thicker/heavier than a traditional heat protectant sprays. I will always stand behind using a product intended JUST for heat protection before going in with any straighteners / curling wands on dry hair since they are way more damaging.
What is the benefit of the attachment on the end of the hairdryer that makes the flow of air thinner?
So when you apply a hair mask should you brush thru your hair with the mask in? I’ve heard you should but also you shouldn’t comb thru soaking wet hair? Just curious what everybody else does
I’d love a full review/comparison of the shark flexfusion especially the flexfusion brush
Thank you for mentioning which product you use on dry hair for heat protection. I need a new one, so I will add to my shopping list 😊
Thank you for all these videos. Could you do a series about things that might help alopecia, specifically female pattern baldness? Thank you ❤
Please test out the Panasonic Nanoe and L’Oréal Air light pro!
Can you do a video of products for damaged curly/ wavy hair for dancers who have to do slick back buns multiple times a week?
The girlies neeed this!! Thank you ❤
Can you do a video on shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair and the science behind it
First of all, the dove hair mask!!! My hair has literally never been softer. Second, do you have thoughts on the Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler? And lastly, do you still offer your hair care guide for sale? Thanks for all you do--you’re my absolute go to 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Also wondering about the bio ionic
The hair guide was still for sale a couple weeks ago.
I have seborrheic dermatitis on scalp. I’m between the inkey list treatment or the dermazen treatment for the scalp. I use head and shoulders daily clean shampoo, not your mothers dry shampoo, redken multi use/leave in conditioner, and Sebastian hairspray.
I have seen that Laifen hairdryer are also pretty good and they are affordable. Plus they tend to have multiple offers and different hairdryer deppending on your needs.
It's on my wishlist for a while, but all the reviews I have seen are pretty good, just in case you want to try a new one ^^
hello, i just recently discovered you and i love your videos ❤ i was wondering how long your whole routine takes you to complete? it seems to me it takes a while and might be difficult to do during the week when you're working? i usually shower and wash my hair in the morning before work because if I do it before i go to bed, my hair doesnt look as good in the morning.. what do you recommend if you only have 30-60 mins to wash and dry your hair?
You should try the Kenra thermal styling spray for heat protection. It’s great and adds hold for the style.
Good morning. Your videos have been so helpful ❤
May you please talk about blowdrying hair from wet to dry on the cool setting on the blowdryer? I imagine this would take way longer if drying 15 cm away from hair
Have you tried heatless curl options? I love the results.
May I suggest Parlux hairdryers? My mother has been working as a hairstylist for over 40 years and she swears by those. I personally own one and it's the best thing I've ever found to dry my thick, coarse, wavy hair. Beats shark, for sure.
11:02 YESSSS PLEASE!!!! 🙏🏼
Abbey please do a cute fall updo style or some formal style!
Abby make video for best hair dryer with good brushes for blow dry hair and cheap prices please 😢
I think the way you brush your hair could be described a “Fluttering” through the hair. Great video! 😁
Hi Abbey! I was wondering when you started washing your hair three times per week, from originally once a week, then twice, and now three times. Does your hair become dirty that fast? I was just curious, as I have long hair like yours but only wash once per week and it is very healthy. Thank you so much!😊🙏🏻💕
I think that she realized that it's ok to wash your hair as often as you need to due to oiliness. I think she was doing once a week, and it just wasn't enough to keep her scalp clean, so she started washing as often as needed to keep her scalp clean, which is the most important thing. Hope this helps. If your scalp is healthy with once a week, it's fine.
@ambernoland1506 yep! She just did a video about it. It was entirely for her scalp health that she changed and started washing her hair more. I can also go longer, it really just depends on the person I think.
Hi Abbey, is it okay to let the hair air dry for a bit⁉️
Every dermatologist says it kills the hair follicles. Now I am confused as you do so.
I just can’t believe that before electricity (hair dryers) when everyone had to air dry, that everyone’s hair fell out. My hair is wavy and I have in the past blew it dry, but now I air dry mostly and leave it wavy. My scalp and follicles (as well as many in the wavy/curly community) are fine. I wouldn’t worry. 😊
My Conair Curl Secret gives me curls that last for days! Better than my T3
Thank you I would've loved to have seen more of it after you had blow dried it? And how you did the last bit of styling when you were not using any other tools. How does it look with just a blow dry? Thank you so much :)
Hair dryer showdown! I bought the new Dyson Nural hairdryer and I like it but it still makes my hair look fried. I always liked the T3 hairdryers
Please test
eview the Laifen Swift dryer.
Ouai used to have an amazing product, Memory Mist. It held curls beautifully, added heat protection and didn’t weigh down my hair. For some unknown reason they discontinued it and I have never been able to find a replacement.
Hi Abbey,
Have you ever tried Kérastase products and are they worth the higher price point?
My stylist keeps recommending the line but not sure if I feel it is worth it?
I also am going through the very bleached damaged hair journey back to my natural color of ashy blonde/brown.
I don’t love it as I have been bleaching my hair since teenage years so it is quite the adjustment but know that it will be better for my hair health in the end.
I appreciate your knowledge and meticulousness on hair care, health and ingredients we should be looking for in our hair care products.
Thank You!!!
Your hair is Gorgeous!
♥️
Whenever I flat ironed my hair and need a product to hold up my style, I would use John Frieda 3 day straight with keratin flat iron spray. Let us know your thoughts on John Frieda. ❤ ur videos 😊
Do you have any suggestions for good fragrance-free haircare products? Shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioners/heat protectants, styling products. I've become allergic to fragrance but I'm struggling to find good fragrance-free haircare. I've tried Vanicream, Seen, and Philip Kingsley products, but they all dry out my hair and scalp 😢. I miss my old drugstore fragranced products. They made my hair look so good!
Hi! Would love to know your thoughts on the L’ange Le Duo 360 Airflow Styler and the Redken Big Blowout Jelly! Thank you!
