Elizavecca is a Korean brand. As an Asian woman (Chinese) I think their choice to talk about pig skin is very intentional for their audience because most Asian girls are taught by our mothers, grandmother, aunts etc.. growing up that pig skin is great for our skin. Most Asian girls especially those of us growing up in Asia are use to regularly having soups and meals that include pig/cow/chicken skin, feet and bones for the collagen. Love grossing my American friends out with some chicken feet soup 😂
The person aphrodit or w.e says she's disgusted, I wonder if she has ever research what's on the "delicious" foods she gets at McDonald's or any other fast food chains? 🧐 Hum interesting 🤔 Ever wonder why asian population are more healthy and don't suffer from obesity as much as american population does?
Yeah, people get grossed out when they find out something is animal source...but unless they are vegetarian, it's kind of unreasonable. If we eat jello, why is pig collagen any different 🤷🏻♀️
Also id love to see a video on leave in conditioners, your faves and least faves, highlight ingredients, and which ones have the best scents! Or just a video on best smelling hair products that are actually good for your hair too! I’m struggling bc I know purology is good but I can’t stand the herbal smells 😬
I have had this and it’s using it for about 8 or 9 months. Yes, detangles like a dream and softness. My hair looks pretty. I incorporate it with Olaplex just as I would a deep conditioner step. It’s fantastic!!!
How do you use it? E.g. Do you put it on dry dirty hair for 20min, then shampoo 2x? Or you put it on wet clean hair (after you shampoo 2x), and rinse with water after 20min? Many thanks
Actually, Ceramides can improve strength and smoothness. There was a Ceramide treatment from Matrix that worked really well. If protein is properly hydrolyzed and combined with other agents it can temporarily ‘Glue’ the split together and travel up the split to the interior and reinforce the hair close to the split to reduce or prevent new splits.
I discovered this product 2-3 years ago and tbh I love it. I wouldn’t say it’s an olaplex dupe it doesn’t do anything to the disulfide bonds in the hair I think it’s more of a dupe for the k18.
I used the featured product for the last 2 yrs. Tried olaplex 1&2 then follow up ever other week with an olaplex 3 tx. These products are nothing alike and do different things. Olaplex has been better for strength and I only use the Elizavecca if I feel like my texture is getting rough. Alone it was fine for deep conditioning.
I have been a silent viewer of yours for years and I literally trust you with all things skin/hair! You helped me figure out my skincare routine and I continue to look up your channel when I need guidance. Thank you for your knowledge. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’ve been using this for a while now and I love it. I only use it once a month and follow with a good amount of conditioner, but it really has changed the texture of my coarse hair for the better.
I have long natural silver grey hair. Olaplex did nothing for me. This product was amazing. Ive been using it for 3 months and it truly is remarkable. My hair isnt frizzy but soft and manageable. Also its very shiney and full !
I already use Olaplex on my colored hair, and I rarely get caught up in viral stuff, but just added this to my Amazon cart lol! Thanks for the great review, Abbey, you are the best!
@@nafisatasnim7057 I’ve recently got it, I’ve used it twice and it really does help with frizz and softness (I live in Florida so there’s so much humidity) it’s a really great deep conditioner if anything and doesn’t make my scalp greasy
Thank you so much for being consistent in your postings! Along with always having great content, it’s just nice that in today’s chaotic world we can rely on you to brighten our mornings regularly with your videos 😊 (No pressure though 😅 whenever you need a break take it lol)
Humectants and silicones etc are great. They’re like a softening lubey coating for the hair shaft. However proteins aren’t like that. I’ve had highly porous hair with unevenly damaged cuticle for a while now and proteins feels less like a coating and more like… spackle on a dented wall lol. It’s not going make the wall Not Dented but it fills in the gap
Silicones are horrible for my hair (at least a lot of them). My hair always used to look so dry and damaged. But when I cut silicones out of my hair my hair started looking so much better.(Them later cut out sulfates, and that was even better ☺️).
I tried this product after watching this video, and it was exactly what my hair wanted. Thanks for the recommendation! I have long, fine, low to medium density and low to medium porosity 2A wavy hair, and this made it super shiny and soft but more substantial. My ponytail also feels a little thicker. I didn’t think a protein treatment was right for me, since I kept seeing it recommended for high porosity hair, but another barely-wavy blogger mentioned that fine hair can benefit from the extra support, and that was definitely my experience.
Your hair color looks great in this (way more dimension than in previous videos I've seen). This product; sounds both good and cheap; the expensive ones I've tried haven't wowed me thus far. I'm excited to check out!
Thank you for staying true to your values! Recently found your channel and have been watching them the past few days. I was surprised to see this reviewed here! I use this after K18 and it makes my hair bleach fried hair so good and normal looking again. I see that you reviewed asian skincare but could you do more videos on asian hair care? Some that come to mind are TOKIO treatment, CP-1 scalp scaler !
I love Elizavecca! It makes my favorite AHA body peel Skinship Peeling Touch Gel. When I saw the brand name in your thumbnail I was like OMG what is this. Thank you for the product recommendation ❤
I don't know if it's already been said but in case anyone is curious, most collagen is from bovine sources (cows), in 'western' products especially, unless stated it's from a 'marine source' then it's from fish. I don't know if there is a vegan version of collagen as of yet, but I could be wrong. I'm also glad this brand chose to talk about where they source their collagen because whether a brand tells your or not, it's likely still from an animal. Better to go in with eyes open. I think we sometimes forget what collagen is, which is a protein found in joints and skin (it's why we want to put it on and in ourselves).
I ordered this through your link. I am always impressed with your knowledge!! I guess I have been living under a rock too, because I had never heard of this either. Thanks for another great video!!
This is funny timing. I’ve had this in my Amazon cart for weeks waiting for you to review this. Next time I’ll just ask. Oh, thanks for everything. Thumbs up always.
Just watched another RUclipsr complain that this dried out her hair. She was obviously using it too much and not following up with a moisture mask (if she saw dryness) and proceeded to tell her reviewers that it doesn't make sense to buy this if you have to get another mask for moisture. There are so many other purely protein masks that are more expensive and you still have to follow up with moisture (especially for us curly girls). I love how you do your research before making a review that might not be truly factual thus giving wrong information about a product.
I tried this out years ago from a suggestion from Labmuffin, loved it, (the directions were not in English they must be now) I’d totally forgotten about it but can’t wait to try again
I purchased this due to your review and LOVE it! I'd love to see you review the rest of Elizevecca's hair care products and get your thoughts on those as well!
@@misslee6788 It really makes hair healthier! Good stuff in it. It is really weird how light it is- just absorbs right in. PERFECT for my fine hair, but also works on my daughters thick hair! This stuff is amazing. Not just a surface cover- really makes hair healthier
I’ve been using the CER-100 for about a year…I have waist length-graying, thin, wavy hair. I didn’t like it at all at first but switched up how I use it. I wash and condition my hair THEN use the CER -100 as a leave in treatment. That changed everything for me. I love it now and it really works for me. I know it’s not for everyone but maybe just try the method I use?
@@sherihays4559 I recently started using Monday-smooth version. It’s in a pink bottle. After searching RUclips for hair care advice and seeing that a leave in conditioner of sorts might be better than anti frizz products .I found that (leave in product) to be best for my hair. It doesn’t weigh it down or are it look greasy either. I also wash my hair every day….I use a very small amount of the CER-100 maybe a nickel-quarter size as well because even though my hair is really long, it’s thin so minimal product is best.
I love this product and get the best results by towel drying my hair - applying - waiting 15-25 min then going back to rinse it out - I don't know why applying to towel dry hair makes such a difference but it goes from being a nice deep conditioner to something super amazing on my dry long locks.
Products absorb better on towel dried hair. It it’s too wet you’ll just be wasting product since the hair will already be coated in water and can’t absorb the product.
Thank you for honestly reviewing this product. As a vegan, that important to me and one of the reasons I watch your videos. You do an honest and thorough job. Thanks again!
Thanks! This review helped me a year later! A single product review is always welcome. I google your name and the product and don’t have to slog through to find the specific. It’s a thumbs up for me!
This is unrelated, but just wanted to say - I’m loving the color of your hair these days. I loved it before but like this better. It’s a darker but softer blonde with more dimension. Looks great !
I discovered this earlier in September. So far I've used it twice. My sister told me to use it as a hair mask every other week. It's just a protein treatment.
@@AbbeyYung there is also another bond treatment from Curlsmith - the curl bond salve. I’m trying to figure out if it’s just a protein treatment and it’s just coating or if it has any legitimate claims so if you have any interest in reviewing it that would be amazing!
@@ioanaschifirnet3814 anything called bond treatment that isn't olaplex or k18 is just marketing. olaplex and k18 use patented ingredients to actually repair bonds. no other company can use it (yet), unless they come up with their own.
If you aren't familiar with this product, don't throw the box away as the only English instructions are on the box. The only instructions on the tube are in Chinese.
Thanks for the review! Have you ever talked/done a deep dive about why olaplex works? And if there’s similar ingredients in any other products that dupe the other olaplex steps, that would help us get the same protection, benefit, & look… but for less??!
I’m definitely going to test it out! Just found ur channel, (thanks YT algorithm for working for once!) Haha! Always happy to find an economic hair treatment for my uber thick, long, curly hair! But I’ll be sure to buy two, bc I totally feel ya, regarding the fact it can practically take almost a whole bottle of product sometimes in order to do what the directions say…🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for such a helpful & intelligent vid!
Hi Abbey! Thank you for the review, I think I’m trying this one and see how it compares to my beloved olaplex 8. I saw elizavecca have a shampoo and conditioner and I would love to hear your opinion on them
I think it's a good thing for the collagen source to be highlighted. I have bought collagen powder to drink before. But I now buy my own bones to make collagen bone broth & I have boiled my own chicken feet before hahaaaa. Using pigs for collagen doesn't faze me personally x
There are so many new products claiming to help with bond repair - I would love to see your take on these to sort through the overload! Living Proof Triple Bond Complex, Bumble & Bumble bond repair line, Alterna Bond Repair, Fekkai Super Strength. Same goes for scalp serums: Living Proof, Grow Gorgeous, Briogeo, Sunday, etc. Clearly these are trending but.....do any of them work? 🤣
My favorite conditioner is the Renpure Coconut Cream Nourishing Conditioner, then Elvive Total Repair 5 Power Restore Multi Use Treatment. The latter does have isopropyl alcohol and 1 sulfate ingredient, but the dimethicone and glycerine at the top of the list make me risk it. I may add this to my post-shampoo treatments, in place of the Elvive. I, too, have very long, thick hair and will go through it quickly but that's true of any "mask" product since they all come in small packages. Do you think you could ever do a "Gently critique my viewers haircare products" video? People send a pic of their hair, tell you what their concerns are, what they use, and you can say "take that out, try this instead, this is good"...? I'd LOVE it.
This looks like an amazing product and the results look so good! I'll have to try it asap. (Your hair is srsly the perfect canvas for any product testing) Question for Abbey: What are your thoughts about the sharkflex styler? Do you think dyson airwrap is better/less damaging in the long term?
Not many youtubers are talking about this and I'd be interested in seeing a comparison. This youtuber called Julissa did a review on the flexstyler. From what I've seen, it seems much better than the Dyson due to the brush attachments, the Dyson brush attachments are pretty useless but the Shark ones are comparable to the T3 aire brush it seems.
I am ordering it today. I have tried so many products but haven’t found my “holy grail” yet so I will give it a shot. My hair is extremely thick and wavy and frizzy so I hope this helps.
Plzz tryy other Asian haircare brands too like cp 1 miseenscene aromatica nature republic etc since they are quite cheap I really wanna see your review on thm
I'm a Catholic, so it's not a big deal for me, but when she said that, I immediately started wondering how many Muslim, Kosher, and other people got a terrible shock from it. Makes one want to really go back and check on the sources of collagen in many other products that might be in their homes right now. I wish other companies were that honest in their sources. I know some collagen comes from cows and even fish, and don't know what that means to everyone (Hindus, etc?), but these companies should be more forthright in giving people the information to make an informed choice. I'd support her too, because she was the first one to bring the subject up!
Funny but I have this. I had an instinct to buy it as my hair is so dry and frizzy and this came up as a suggestion. I had also been intrigued by the "Milk Piggy" skincare line on Stylevana. I have used this product twice and no magic, nothing like Olaplex of course, it was ok. Going to try again on wet hair as I used it on dry hair and recently clarified my hair. Thanks for all the good info as always!
Hi Abbey! I really love your videos and you have helped me a lot improving my hair! I was wondering if you could make a video about great oils brands good for fine hair and that improve growth that you have on your list! It would LIFESAVING if you could do that!😢❤
Has anyone had more hair loss than normal after applying this product? I have so much more hair in the shower when I use this vs when I don’t. Anyone know why?
I simply crack an egg and wish it. Then apply the protein egg treatment twice a month. Leave it in for 30 minutes then wash out. Eggs are cost effective, packed with vitamins and minerals, plus has protein. I highly recommend it
I’ve also never heard of this product. With this affordable price point and great ingredients and your recommendation of course…definitely worth giving this a try 😊
its sitting in my cart and now ive just purchased it as well! Love the olaplex still will change it up though! Ty Abby! per usual the best content xoxoxo from Texas
Please can you do a video building an affordable/ mid range priced hair care routine! I can’t afford K18 or olaplex but want haircare products to improve my hair ♥️
No not all collagen out there is from Animals but most unfortunately . There are options out there that we should be leaning towards . There’s reasons cruelty free and vegan products are being demanded more as people decide to get informed on the realities . These costs aren’t worth it for just a cosmetic product and hopefully brands continue picking up on the demands and keep changing and updating their output .
From what I understand, collagen is connective tissues from animals. "Vegan collagen" is more like nutrients or chemicals that stimulate collagen growth in the body, but not actually a vegan source of collagen.
Maybe I’m not remembering microbiology/bio chem well, but I don’t think that molecules as large as collagen survive the digestive process, so they can’t be deposited in your skin via consumption. That is to say, I don’t think collagen supplements (vegan or animal) have been shown to increase collagen levels in skin (or hair) when swallowed in any form. I’ve been out of college for a while and am not a cosmetic chemist (inorganic is my jam) so it is possible that I have forgotten my biochemistry.

Actually, Ceramides can improve strength and smoothness. There was a Ceramide treatment from Matrix that worked really well. If protein is properly hydrolyzed and combined with other agents it can temporarily ‘Glue’ the split together and travel up the split to the interior and reinforce the hair close to the split to reduce or prevent new splits.
Which is all any bonding product does anyway.
I love this treatment and the leave in version. I've used them for a while now. Elizavecca in general is pretty solid as a brand.
I discovered this product 2-3 years ago and tbh I love it.

I keep Kosher and prefer vegan body/hair products, so thank you for pointing out where that collagen comes from.
Natural collagen is only found in animal sources, unless you get synthetic collagen :)
I’ve been using this for a while now and I love it. I only use it once a month and follow with a good amount of conditioner, but it really has changed the texture of my coarse hair for the better.
Do you need a special kind of shampoo to wash this out next time you shmpoo after you use it?? 🥰🙏

Hi Abbey! Thank you for the review, I think I’m trying this one and see how it compares to my beloved olaplex 8. I saw elizavecca have a shampoo and conditioner and I would love to hear your opinion on them
I think it's a good thing for the collagen source to be highlighted. I have bought collagen powder to drink before. But I now buy my own bones to make collagen bone broth & I have boiled my own chicken feet before hahaaaa. Using pigs for collagen doesn't faze me personally x
I just order this and got it in the mail. So excited for your review (you always do the best reviews!)
Hope you love it! Thanks for watching ❤
There are so many new products claiming to help with bond repair - I would love to see your take on these to sort through the overload! Living Proof Triple Bond Complex, Bumble & Bumble bond repair line, Alterna Bond Repair, Fekkai Super Strength. Same goes for scalp serums: Living Proof, Grow Gorgeous, Briogeo, Sunday, etc. Clearly these are trending but.....do any of them work? 🤣
I've been a acting to see a review about this. Pn Amazon there are so many mixed reviews.
Yay!
This product is in my stylevana advent calendar!! Can’t wait to test it out
I have that! I used it once and I really liked it. Left my hair so nourished!
My favorite conditioner is the Renpure Coconut Cream Nourishing Conditioner, then Elvive Total Repair 5 Power Restore Multi Use Treatment. The latter does have isopropyl alcohol and 1 sulfate ingredient, but the dimethicone and glycerine at the top of the list make me risk it. I may add this to my post-shampoo treatments, in place of the Elvive. I, too, have very long, thick hair and will go through it quickly but that's true of any "mask" product since they all come in small packages.
Do you think you could ever do a "Gently critique my viewers haircare products" video? People send a pic of their hair, tell you what their concerns are, what they use, and you can say "take that out, try this instead, this is good"...? I'd LOVE it.
I learned so much from this video! I think its definitely worth a try, especially for the price.
I just tried this and LOVED how soft my hair was after. Definitely going to continue to use.
Thank you for taking the time to do these reviews! 💁🏻♀💕
This looks like an amazing product and the results look so good! I'll have to try it asap. (Your hair is srsly the perfect canvas for any product testing)
Question for Abbey: What are your thoughts about the sharkflex styler? Do you think dyson airwrap is better/less damaging in the long term?
Not many youtubers are talking about this and I'd be interested in seeing a comparison. This youtuber called Julissa did a review on the flexstyler. From what I've seen, it seems much better than the Dyson due to the brush attachments, the Dyson brush attachments are pretty useless but the Shark ones are comparable to the T3 aire brush it seems.
I’ve been using it for about 3 years 😆 it helps to stretch out the life of a keratin treatment 🙏🏽👍🏽 also it’s good for wigs 🙌🏾
wigs?! no wayyy
@@kaodiokafor322 Natural Hair wigs.
I am ordering it today. I have tried so many products but haven’t found my “holy grail” yet so I will give it a shot. My hair is extremely thick and wavy and frizzy so I hope this helps.
Have you tried K18 mask? It's amazing for my thick, frizzy hair. Recently added the shampoo to my routine and my hair has never been better!
@@karipeek6659 no I haven’t but I’m willing to try anything at this point. Thanks!
Can't wait to try it! Thanks for giving us the best reviews, as always 😍
Plzz tryy other Asian haircare brands too like cp 1 miseenscene aromatica nature republic etc since they are quite cheap I really wanna see your review on thm
I’ll check them out!
@@AbbeyYung ilyyyy💞💞
I’ve been waiting for you to test this since 2020! That’s when I found this!
I’ve been using this for a while and it’s so good!!!
If you find collagen disturbing then don't look up what Guerisson uses in their creams...
As a Muslim, this would be a no from me, but I'll still watch to support your vid.
I'm a Catholic, so it's not a big deal for me, but when she said that, I immediately started wondering how many Muslim, Kosher, and other people got a terrible shock from it. Makes one want to really go back and check on the sources of collagen in many other products that might be in their homes right now. I wish other companies were that honest in their sources. I know some collagen comes from cows and even fish, and don't know what that means to everyone (Hindus, etc?), but these companies should be more forthright in giving people the information to make an informed choice. I'd support her too, because she was the first one to bring the subject up!
Had me on the edge of my seat with the collagen source research!
I honestly thing olaplex is a game changer it’s so good xx
Funny but I have this. I had an instinct to buy it as my hair is so dry and frizzy and this came up as a suggestion. I had also been intrigued by the "Milk Piggy" skincare line on Stylevana. I have used this product twice and no magic, nothing like Olaplex of course, it was ok. Going to try again on wet hair as I used it on dry hair and recently clarified my hair. Thanks for all the good info as always!
I think using it on wet hair will help a ton!
I agree. Not that great. I’m not an olaplex fan either. Just a lot of hype. Redken is the best in hair care.
Hi Abbey!
I really love your videos and you have helped me a lot improving my hair!
I was wondering if you could make a video about great oils brands good for fine hair and that improve growth that you have on your list! It would LIFESAVING if you could do that!😢❤
THIS IS AMAZING! My hair is so soft!
Has anyone had more hair loss than normal after applying this product? I have so much more hair in the shower when I use this vs when I don’t. Anyone know why?
Unless you are vegan the use of animal collagen isn't a problem and in fact uses parts of the animals that are wasted in meat production!
you’re soooo pretty. love the hair color and style🥰
Thank you so much Abbey! Your looks stunning even when you’re not having the best hair day, before using the product.
You can skip to around 7:14 when she FINALLY says, NO IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME INGREDIENTS AS OLAPLEX. You're welcome.
You used WAAAY too much product.
Thank you so much! I’ve been wondering about this. I’d also love to know if you have tried Boldplex and if it could be a dupe.
I hear about this all the time in the curly girl community!
I simply crack an egg and wish it. Then apply the protein egg treatment twice a month. Leave it in for 30 minutes then wash out. Eggs are cost effective, packed with vitamins and minerals, plus has protein. I highly recommend it
I've read that the size of the protein molecules in eggs are too large to actually work as a protein treatment when applied to the hair
A wonderful video filled with vital information!
Thank you so much, Amy 😍
I’ve also never heard of this product. With this affordable price point and great ingredients and your recommendation of course…definitely worth giving this a try 😊
I'm glad they list it because I won't use products with animal bi products. I never use any collagen products because it's hard to find the source.
I have a million hair care products because of you. So what's one more!?!🤣 Added to cart!
😂😂😂😂❤
Just added it to my cart. Thanks for the review!
its sitting in my cart and now ive just purchased it as well! Love the olaplex still will change it up though! Ty Abby! per usual the best content xoxoxo from Texas
Hi! Which one do you prefer? :)
Wait! How do we use it?
Please can you do a video building an affordable/ mid range priced hair care routine! I can’t afford K18 or olaplex but want haircare products to improve my hair ♥️
I bought this product and have not used it yet so your review is very timely. Thank you!
Do you condition after you rinse the treatment out?
All collagen is from an animal- to me pig skin doesn’t bother me, I drink beef collagen everyday made from cow skin🤷🏻♀️
It annoys me how so many Kbeauty skincare products say "vegan collagen"
There is plant & marine collagen but from personal use, i dont think they are nearly as good..
No not all collagen out there is from Animals but most unfortunately . There are options out there that we should be leaning towards . There’s reasons cruelty free and vegan products are being demanded more as people decide to get informed on the realities . These costs aren’t worth it for just a cosmetic product and hopefully brands continue picking up on the demands and keep changing and updating their output .
From what I understand, collagen is connective tissues from animals. "Vegan collagen" is more like nutrients or chemicals that stimulate collagen growth in the body, but not actually a vegan source of collagen.
Maybe I’m not remembering microbiology/bio chem well, but I don’t think that molecules as large as collagen survive the digestive process, so they can’t be deposited in your skin via consumption. That is to say, I don’t think collagen supplements (vegan or animal) have been shown to increase collagen levels in skin (or hair) when swallowed in any form. I’ve been out of college for a while and am not a cosmetic chemist (inorganic is my jam) so it is possible that I have forgotten my biochemistry.
I definitely will be trying this. I am on a budget & cannot afford olaplex! So I’m
Giving this a shot! Thx for sharing!!
