I've been a stylist for the last 10 years heavily focused as a colorist. Redken Extreme Lamellar treatment is one of the best products I have ever used! It literally makes the hair feel like silk instantly once applied! I rave about this especially for my blondes!
Thanks for this video. I went out and got the L’Oréal one and used it after I did a foil session and my hair has NEVER felt this good after bleaching. I used all my normal post-bleaching products and then added this at the end. Wow. My hair feels like it did when I was a kid!
I just recently found you & have been bingeing your videos since I am trying so hard to grow longer & stronger hair. I just wanted to say I enjoy & appreciate so much the work you put into these videos, the research, testing, all the way down to the time stamps in the description! You go above & beyond & I'm so excited to have found you! ♡
I actually love these. I haven’t tried the Redken one, but I have repurchased the Wonder 8 a few times. I have also used 2 Amika ones, I didn’t like those as much. I think the Wonder 8 really is amazing. I used the brown one. My mom has very fine hair, not a lot of it, it was really damaged, her hair kept breaking off, but using conditioner isn’t really an option for her. This truly saved her hair, it’s growing again!
A very long time ago, I used a product from Clairol called, “Positive Reaction.” It was a treatment that was water-like and slippery, foamed a little, and was to be used after coloring one’s hair. Essentially, it’s the same idea. Change the hair ions to positive and return the pH to normal. Redken used to make their “CAT” line, which was also a similar idea about Cations.
Hi, I hope you see this question. The L’Oreal 8 second Wonder Water says to use it on lengths only, with the older bottles saying specifically not to use it on the scalp. In some of the reviews on Amazon, there are women complaining about clumps of hair falling out after using. I assume since hair falls out at the roots, they must’ve used it on their scalps. In your video, you are using it on your scalp, also. Have you had any issues with hair loss with this product?
I don’t think so. It destroyed the ends of my hair. They ended up like straw, and the split ends were very deep and almost every hair had them. It took a long time for my hair to recover from the use of this product. I now use BC peptide repair. It is better than Olaplex.
Your reviews are so honest and transparent, well done, you have an amazing channel, just joined a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it Love from the uk x
Hi, Abbey. Thank you for the info on the lamellar water. I purchased the Loreal one (brown bottle) and used it just once so far. I definitely noticed a change in my hair. It was softer and more manageable, like my sister in law’s, who gets keratin treatments at the salon. Two days after using the lamellar product, I washed my hair again but didn’t use the lamellar water. I want to say that my hair was pretty much like it was before using the water. I’m hoping with continued use, my hair will become better. Thank you again!
When you showed that it's used after shampoo and it's formulated at a low PH, I was like ''Oh, it's like a toner, but for hair''. Not a colour toner, but the one used in skincare.
The Redken Lamellar water is the TRUTH! I have bleached out, extremely damaged hair but this has made it so silky smooth and shiny. I use it after I color my hair and a little bit on my ends every other wash. I have way less split ends too
I love Redken products. They have been around for awhile and were considered one of the best when I was getting my cosmetology license. I use the l'oreal and I do see a difference but I do have curly frizzy hair which I dye. So depending on the type of hair you have will determine how this works. Thanks for reviewing!!
I just used the wonder water for the 1st time tonight and my hair feels so good rn. My hair never felt this nice before. I'm definitely buying more bottles to stock up (:
I really loved the L'Oreal Wonder Water, however I noticed for me that it gave me mild protein overload. I didn't know the Redken product was protein-free. I think I'll give that one a try, thank you for specifying the differences between the two! I think it's also important to caution people on overusing protein treatments. I didn't know protein overload was even a thing until I started experiencing it for myself.
I LOVE the 8 Second Wonder Water from L’Oréal. I prefer the one in the brown bottle instead. It smells sooooo good and my hair has never ever looked/felt better. I don’t know what I’ll do if they ever stop making that product.
hi! have u tried both versions of the loreal product? the brown bottle n the peachy bottle? I can't tell what the difference is supposed to be between the 2?
@@ninjaturtles12121 hello!! I have tried both versions. My preference is the brown bottle. They both smell good, but I like the smell of the brown bottled one better and I like the warm-ish sensation is gives off. Other than that, I couldn’t tell the difference. My Walmart quit carrying it in-store, but I found it at Ulta.
I don't take care of my hair as much as you do so I guess that might be a reason why my hair was so soft, pure silk like and not to mention the shine was incredible as well after using the Loreal wonder water. I absolutely love this product!!!
I've been loving the L'Oreal 8 second wonder water! I'm actually able to detangle my hair with it pretty well and it's like a wieghtless conditioner! I like to deep condition my hair every Saturday but if I use a conditioner before hand it gets to weighed down so this has been a game changer!!
This is the third video of yours that I've watched in a row. Your videos are so informative and you do such a good job of relaying all the important information in a very easy to understand kind of way. 👍
oh my gosh! thank you so much for reviewing this, I literally was waiting for your views before purchasing! Can you review a few more drugstore shampoos like the loreal ever pure (or ever series collection) and the new Neutrogena healthy scalp shampoo and conditioners?
I started off using the Kerestase lamella which was £60 a bottle and you could only buy it on eBay it wasn’t for sale to the public. And then I found the L’Oreal eight second for £5 and it’s incredible I have very long hair and it just makes my hair very very soft. I do have a Nanokeratine treatment every three months which I find stops my hair from breaking because it makes it easy to manage and brush. I haven’t tried the Redken but I’ve tried the Schwartzkof one and they do recommend squeezing your hair until there white foam. Thanks for the video
Interesting products! I just looked up the ingredients for the Redken one, and the 2nd ingredient is alcohol denat. I just watched your video about k18 yesterday - alcohol denat is in that too! 🤷🏼♀️ I ordered k18 and will be trying it next week.
I used this on my 3rd grade daughter’s hair. Her hair is very long and tangles easily. She has healthy hair but probably a little dry and many broken strands. Her hair came out like silk and no knots after using this once. I’m definitely going to add this into her routine.
you are such a good mother, caring for your daughters hair like that. my mom made me wash it every other day with pantene exclusively, and ripped through my hair with plastic combs. she gets mad when i buy products and also when i oil my hair… idek. sometimes i feel like she’s jealous because she has wavy, bleached hair and people ask me if i straightened my hair when it just air dried. i wonder where i’d be now if i had been doing haircare from a young age
I've been using the L'Oréal one for awhile now, and it really have been doing wonders on my hair! It feels and looks soooo much better, It feels much! Less brittle now, even on days that i don't use it, and only use my regular Maui shampoo and conditioner - but I believe, as with soooo many other hair products, some will work for some, and others won't🤷🏼♀️

Thank you thank you thank you! All this information is much appreciated! Have an awesome weekend!!! Btw 6 days of now washing your hair and it looks AMAZING!!
My hair was fried for the first time ever in my life and I had given up, but this saved it. Maybe not long term but this week my hair has been better than the last 5 months
Abbey! I love your videos, you’re my main source when I want to get some new hair products 💕💕. I wanted to recommend something for you to experiment and maybe do a video if you find it useful. Pre -poo or Pre-shampoo it’s something that has help me A LOT with breakage and I’m sure your heard of it before as is very known in the curly method but I have straight chemically treated hair and my Brazilian hairdresser recommended this. I do it with a cheap hair mask from the drugstore right before I take shower making sure I cover everything and leave it there for 20 minutes, it’s not a treatment mask it’s only to “protect” the strands from the harsh water and shampoo that goes on it. I did wonders for me and I will love to know your thoughts if you try ! 💕❤️ lots of love from Portugal 🇵🇹!
I assume you would do this in place of adding hair oils before washing? When I use hair oils I have to double shampoo so I don't know ..am I just washing the oil out the first time then washing my hair and scalp the second time🤷🤦🤷
@@sonjaforrester9255 nope, I do hair oils once a week and I still put Pre-shampoo on top of the oils before I take my shower. In fact I find out is easier to remove the oils when I put the pre-poo than when I don’t. Some girls that do the curly girl method mix oils with a cheap mask as a pre-poo as this is pretty much to protect the ends and avoid breakage. I notice a lot of difference after a month. Hope this helps !
@@lalaishappyyy for me it does! Keep in mind I have relatively short hair (probably like 6 inches or so). My hair is very soft and smooth with no frizziness!
Abbey, I'm happy to hear you talking about this product! I'm still confused but I do feel better about trying it after hearing your review. I've seen reviews for the Loreal Wonder Water that made me really want to try it but then when I read the reviews on Amazon there were several people who claimed it caused their hair to fall out. Yikes! I was kind of scared to try it after reading those reviews. What would explain those kinds of claims? How do I know if I should choose the one with protein or the one without protein?
Thank you SO much for explaining the science behind these items! I’ve been searching all over the internet for these explanations. I can not thank you enough!
Also being that L’Oréal owns redken, both products containing almost identical ingredients makes sense. If I can’t get my hands on redken at the color store, I’ll always use L’Oréal from the drug store
I have used REDKEN Extreme Bleach Recovery Lamellar Treatment, Kerastase K Water Lamellar Treatment and L’Oreal ELVIVE Wonder Water Lamellar Treatment and overall they work the same but the L’Oreal Wonder Water does seem to make the hair a bit stronger and feel a bit more “Filled” and the smoothness seemed to last a bit longer. The Redken seemed to make the hair a bit smoother overall and looked shinier. The Kerastase made the hair super smooth and shiny ( better than L’Oreal or Redken ) but the effect did not last as long as L’Oreal
Can you do a video about different bonding treatments, formaldehyde free keratin smoothing treatments, and olaplex dupes? Summer is coming. Trying to beat the humidity and frizz in SoFlo. 😅
The first such product was Moremo Water Treatment Miracle 10 which came out on HSN over five years ago. It made a visible difference on my curly hair and I'm glad to see the L'Oréal product at 1/3 the price.
Please review K18!! It's another true hair-bonding product, but apparently more permanent than Olaplex. I want to try it but am afraid of spending that much money.
I've tried K18! It makes my wrecked bleach damaged hair feel AMAZING! Like a WIG! (but real hair. lol) One thing I do find is, they say to leave it on for 4 minutes and then either style OR just leave the hair to air dry. So. I find if I let my hair dry naturally, I notice no real difference, BUT when I heat style my hair, it feels immensely soft.
Well, it's a sigh of relief for me! Way too often there's a lot of all hype, no backing kind of products out there, and yea, they get us with "quick fix" kind of things often times, but this seems great that it works for people, doesn't DAMAGE hair, like some can. Worth a try for me for sure, especially being super low energy lately, it's nice to maybe have a product that can give my hair a little boost without having to fuss about a whole other hair routine at the moment.
Great information, thank you Abbey! Can you do a video explaining how you plan which product to use on each wash day? I have different products that address different concerns but most of these products are weekly use and I only wash my hair once a week! What do do?! I'm afraid i don't use any of them enough to see a result because i have to alternate to touch-base each hair concern. Hope this request made sense, lol
After ruining my hair with bleach for a job interview where purple wasn't acceptable, I've used everything. First Olaplex, then K18 but adding this to my routine after seeing it recommended has made the biggest difference, even my boyfriend commented on how much better it looks and feels, this is amazing stuff!
I have always loved Redken products but the Lamellar water made my hair worse for some reason. I have naturally curly hair that I get foiled every 8-12 weeks. It made my hair feel coarse and I noticed a lot more shedding than usual with it. I am now using Olaplex 3, 6, and 7 and the briogeo hair mask, my hair feels so amazing, hasn’t felt this good in years. I just wish I would have made the jump on Olaplex sooner. Going to try their shampoo and conditioner next.
I noticed that L'Oreal has two options of this product. I bought the one specifically for long hair. I really liked the results... much easier to detangle after I removed my microfiber towel. I'm surprised you put that on your scalp, though. Obviously I did not buy the Redken option but the instructions on the L'Oreal say to apply it to the length of your hair and not your scalp. Did the Redken not have that directive?? I think you're not supposed to use it every time you shampoo, too. But thus far, I like it. Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated!!
What you said at the end of the video stuck with me. It's true that it's more important to prevent hair damage than to hid it under a coat of silicones. But what drugstore products (I'm on a budget) can I use that are really healthy for my hair? My hair is curly and on the dry side, coarse and frizzy. I keep seeing vlogers that recommend all these awesome natural shampoos that are great for the hair, but they're either not available in my country (Romania) or they're way too expensive for the local economy.😅 I find it hard to pick a hydrating/conditioning shampoo or conditioner for my coarse hair when all I can afford are brands like Garnier, Elseve, Pantene etc. , who's products are mostly only having a visible effect if they're packed with silicones. And it's hard to find a product without silicones that are conditioning enough. Like recently I bought 2 bio products that have 98% natural ingredients, one of which is aloe, and they made my hair feel soft while it was wet, but then when it dried it felt even more rough and frizzy than before. 😔 Any advice?
The protein recharge made my hair a little dry unless it was the vitamin E oil I put on my hair...anyone else do that? I'll mix Vitamin E oils with another oil. Such as Rosehip or Argon.
If it’s feels mushy, too soft, Cotton Candy like, stretches too much, tangles easy at the ends and seems shorter in length, and takes forever to dry. If this happens to me it usually means that I need protein.
I tried the loreal one about one week ago and my hair IS RUINED it’s breaking off from the top all the lenght lile crazy i can hear it and feel it snapping off each time the slightest movement happens to my hair i am devastated . Please if you were to try it try it on one strand of hair that’s not too big first !
Hi Abbey ❤. I have never heard of this whatsoever nevertheless it was very interesting and whether you thought it was something that everyone needed in their haircare routine and your own experience of using this. Thank you for this video 📹 💕 and enjoy your weekend 🥰.
Hi Abbey, I love your channel and appreciate your info. I am a hair care freak and do basically all the same treatments and care for my hair somewhat (I hear my family laughing somewhere, ha) obsessively. I am on my second bottle of a Korean Lamellar Water called Moremo. It has some of the usual ingredients, but also has prickly pear, jute, desert rose, sea buckthorn and several algae extracts. It also contains 3 types of natural keratin and 17 amino acids. This stuff is amazing! I don't need any other conditioner with it and my hair stays clean longer. I don't use heat, I only air dry. My detangling brush glides through my hair, to be truthful I don't have much trouble with tangles but I have none at all with this stuff. I have waist length straight dark, almost black hair and it is extra soft and glossy with Moremo. Maybe you could try it out and let us know if you get a different result than the ones you tried. I just love it!! ❤️❤️
ahaha lucky, my family doesn’t laugh. they get angry. it’s my money i’m spending but my mom gets mad that i oil my hair before washing, and stuff like that. 😔
Ok, just a thought: I think Abbey missed the most important point: all these wonder water products have huge amounts of denatured alcohol in them: if that is bad for your skin (and it is), it is bad for your hair as well in long term use. Of course when you start to use it, your hair feels amazing, and bouncy and detangled. But use it regularly long term, I am sure the denatured alcohol will fry your hair.
Trying to improve my hair care this year, I've been growing it out for a few years and haven't put any real focus on it. Saw this suggested for Asian beauty, appreciate the explainer, I am a dumb man.
Awesome explanation! To the point but also I depth. So rare . Thank you ! You’re right ! I had to Google to find out what the heck it was . Thought it was kinda like micellar water . Can’t wait to see results. Need more brushable hair STAT. Only get my virgin hair cut twice a year and it’s SUPER long . Once it gets constantly tangly , time for a haircut . But here it is super late right before Thanksgiving and I need nice hair tomorrow. My hair is super healthy except the last couple inches ( due to lack of haircuts ).I got the Not Your Mother’s brand cuz it was all that was available at 11pm near my house . Haha ! I’ll let ya know if it worked for me . Thanks again! Your hair is gorgeous 🥰
So you DO still condition after using this. Cool. I couldn't find any answer to whether or not this replaces conditioner or not. Thank you for this explanation!
So it’s not bad that these products have denatured alcohol in them? I’ve always steered clear of them because of it. I just always hear how bad it is for skin & hair. I’d love to use it, if the denatured alcohol in these aren’t damaging. Someone let me know!
Centella asiatica is also called gotu kola which is an incredible Ayurvedic ingredient! The science is thousands of years old so it’s definitely great to look out for on an ingredient list. Idk how effective it would be in such a brief wash off treatment though so I absolutely agree with you there :)
I’ve never heard of lamellar water before so this was really interesting and informative! I’d be really interested if you did a video about scalp exfoliators. I found a physical scalp exfoliator by Nexxus (saw it recommended in Canadian Living magazine last summer) and because I have an extremely sweaty head/oily scalp I did notice a positive change when I first started using it. I incorporate it into my routine as necessary, usually about once a week, but sometimes more depending how sweaty I’ve gotten lol anyway, I’d be curious to know your take on such a product! Also, I have oily skin and have had pretty good results with using products containing salicylic acid on my face.. I think I’ve seen some scalp specific products containing salicylic acid and I’m wondering if it might have the same effect on my scalp (helping reduce oiliness). Your channel has changed the way I take care of my hair so I really value your insight 😊💞
You should try the carols daughter wash day shampoo! It has salicylic acid in it and its a good clarifying shampoo, the conditioner is equally as amazing
I've been a stylist for the last 10 years heavily focused as a colorist. Redken Extreme Lamellar treatment is one of the best products I have ever used! It literally makes the hair feel like silk instantly once applied! I rave about this especially for my blondes!

I use it and I agree
@@rogeracosta7326 of course. She said it.
@@rogeracosta7326 umm that sentence does not make sense at all
Side note: the reason theyre basically the same product is literally because loreal owns redken...
oh really?😳 I didn't know that!
great to know! thsnks a lot😎
Just like the SkinCeuticals triple lipid moisturizer is essentially the same as CeraVe, the only difference is the price.

Abbey! I love your videos, you’re my main source when I want to get some new hair products 💕💕. I wanted to recommend something for you to experiment and maybe do a video if you find it useful. Pre -poo or Pre-shampoo it’s something that has help me A LOT with breakage and I’m sure your heard of it before as is very known in the curly method but I have straight chemically treated hair and my Brazilian hairdresser recommended this. I do it with a cheap hair mask from the drugstore right before I take shower making sure I cover everything and leave it there for 20 minutes, it’s not a treatment mask it’s only to “protect” the strands from the harsh water and shampoo that goes on it. I did wonders for me and I will love to know your thoughts if you try ! 💕❤️ lots of love from Portugal 🇵🇹!
I love doing this!! Will add to my list to discuss in videos
I assume you would do this in place of adding hair oils before washing?
When I use hair oils I have to double shampoo so I don't know ..am I just washing the oil out the first time then washing my hair and scalp the second time🤷🤦🤷
@@sonjaforrester9255 nope, I do hair oils once a week and I still put Pre-shampoo on top of the oils before I take my shower. In fact I find out is easier to remove the oils when I put the pre-poo than when I don’t. Some girls that do the curly girl method mix oils with a cheap mask as a pre-poo as this is pretty much to protect the ends and avoid breakage. I notice a lot of difference after a month. Hope this helps !
what products do you use?
@@AbbeyYung that will be amazing ! Thanks Abbey ♥️
I’ve been using this as a replacement for conditioner lately because it’s so quick to use and I’ve been loving it!
does it actually replace your conditioner?
I don't think so, but I love the stuff!
@@lalaishappyyy for me it does! Keep in mind I have relatively short hair (probably like 6 inches or so). My hair is very soft and smooth with no frizziness!
Abbey, I'm happy to hear you talking about this product! I'm still confused but I do feel better about trying it after hearing your review. I've seen reviews for the Loreal Wonder Water that made me really want to try it but then when I read the reviews on Amazon there were several people who claimed it caused their hair to fall out. Yikes! I was kind of scared to try it after reading those reviews. What would explain those kinds of claims? How do I know if I should choose the one with protein or the one without protein?
You can take a strand of your hair and lightly pull it, if it snaps straight away it needs moisture, if it stretches it needs protein
Thank you SO much for explaining the science behind these items! I’ve been searching all over the internet for these explanations. I can not thank you enough!
Also being that L’Oréal owns redken, both products containing almost identical ingredients makes sense. If I can’t get my hands on redken at the color store, I’ll always use L’Oréal from the drug store
I have used REDKEN Extreme Bleach Recovery Lamellar Treatment, Kerastase K Water Lamellar Treatment and L’Oreal ELVIVE Wonder Water Lamellar Treatment and overall they work the same but the L’Oreal Wonder Water does seem to make the hair a bit stronger and feel a bit more “Filled” and the smoothness seemed to last a bit longer. The Redken seemed to make the hair a bit smoother overall and looked shinier. The Kerastase made the hair super smooth and shiny ( better than L’Oreal or Redken ) but the effect did not last as long as L’Oreal
Which one is your favorite?
@@Sara-bi5pm L’Oreal ELVIVE. Great results for the price but, I don’t like these type(s) of treatments in general because of my hair type.
I just heard of this stuff and came straight to this video. You’re the best. You’re like the hair scientist!
This product takes a good month to see a big difference. Lamellar water helped me get my hair damage under control
Can you do a video about different bonding treatments, formaldehyde free keratin smoothing treatments, and olaplex dupes? Summer is coming. Trying to beat the humidity and frizz in SoFlo. 😅
Yes I second. I'm about to get a Cezanne treatment I debated between that and olaplex
Your videos are so helpful 💚 Thank you so much.. I always take your advice when it comes to hair products 💜💜💜
So glad to hear that 🤗
Can you review the brand Verb please?!?! You give great reviews and I would love to know what you think about this brand. Great video!
The first such product was Moremo Water Treatment Miracle 10 which came out on HSN over five years ago. It made a visible difference on my curly hair and I'm glad to see the L'Oréal product at 1/3 the price.
I really liked it made my extremely Dry Frizzy hair soft and manageable
Please review K18!! It's another true hair-bonding product, but apparently more permanent than Olaplex. I want to try it but am afraid of spending that much money.
Stay tuned 😊
I've tried K18! It makes my wrecked bleach damaged hair feel AMAZING! Like a WIG! (but real hair. lol)
One thing I do find is, they say to leave it on for 4 minutes and then either style OR just leave the hair to air dry. So. I find if I let my hair dry naturally, I notice no real difference, BUT when I heat style my hair, it feels immensely soft.
I've tried both on my fried bleached hair, and Reken was a NOTICEABLE difference in Silkier, softer and less frizz, worth the extra $$ IMO
Well, it's a sigh of relief for me! Way too often there's a lot of all hype, no backing kind of products out there, and yea, they get us with "quick fix" kind of things often times, but this seems great that it works for people, doesn't DAMAGE hair, like some can. Worth a try for me for sure, especially being super low energy lately, it's nice to maybe have a product that can give my hair a little boost without having to fuss about a whole other hair routine at the moment.
First product I have used that made a visible difference. My hair looks noticeably smoother . Great video.
Great information, thank you Abbey! Can you do a video explaining how you plan which product to use on each wash day? I have different products that address different concerns but most of these products are weekly use and I only wash my hair once a week! What do do?! I'm afraid i don't use any of them enough to see a result because i have to alternate to touch-base each hair concern. Hope this request made sense, lol
One of my favorite products! Makes my hair silky smooth without any effort. Unbelievable!
Now I’m wondering which L’Oréal wonder water works best. The dream length or the elvive. There must be a difference in results.
Right!! And whats the difference between the 2 to begin with!?
I’m thinking the difference is a packing thing- so all your products have the same aesthetic. (?)
After ruining my hair with bleach for a job interview where purple wasn't acceptable, I've used everything. First Olaplex, then K18 but adding this to my routine after seeing it recommended has made the biggest difference, even my boyfriend commented on how much better it looks and feels, this is amazing stuff!
I have always loved Redken products but the Lamellar water made my hair worse for some reason. I have naturally curly hair that I get foiled every 8-12 weeks. It made my hair feel coarse and I noticed a lot more shedding than usual with it. I am now using Olaplex 3, 6, and 7 and the briogeo hair mask, my hair feels so amazing, hasn’t felt this good in years. I just wish I would have made the jump on Olaplex sooner. Going to try their shampoo and conditioner next.
I noticed that L'Oreal has two options of this product. I bought the one specifically for long hair. I really liked the results... much easier to detangle after I removed my microfiber towel. I'm surprised you put that on your scalp, though. Obviously I did not buy the Redken option but the instructions on the L'Oreal say to apply it to the length of your hair and not your scalp. Did the Redken not have that directive?? I think you're not supposed to use it every time you shampoo, too. But thus far, I like it. Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated!!
Ive applied it both ways but thought I’d try it this way too since I have my hair colored to the root!
What you said at the end of the video stuck with me. It's true that it's more important to prevent hair damage than to hid it under a coat of silicones. But what drugstore products (I'm on a budget) can I use that are really healthy for my hair? My hair is curly and on the dry side, coarse and frizzy. I keep seeing vlogers that recommend all these awesome natural shampoos that are great for the hair, but they're either not available in my country (Romania) or they're way too expensive for the local economy.😅 I find it hard to pick a hydrating/conditioning shampoo or conditioner for my coarse hair when all I can afford are brands like Garnier, Elseve, Pantene etc. , who's products are mostly only having a visible effect if they're packed with silicones. And it's hard to find a product without silicones that are conditioning enough. Like recently I bought 2 bio products that have 98% natural ingredients, one of which is aloe, and they made my hair feel soft while it was wet, but then when it dried it felt even more rough and frizzy than before. 😔 Any advice?
You are so helpful and honest Abbey!... Thank you very much!💜
I use it all the time- I'm not sure why it works, but I love it- I hope you don't find out it's BAD!!
Thanks for sharing, I’ve never heard of this kind of product before. Very interesting!
Yemen 💐💐
Ive wanted a video like this for so long now cause im so intrigued
Can you please review the Elvive total repair 5 protein treatment masque? I've seen a lot of great reviews on it and it's super affordable.
I’ll add it to my list!
@@AbbeyYung there’s two versions. One in a yellow container and another one in a black container. Can you help us know the difference?
The protein recharge made my hair a little dry unless it was the vitamin E oil I put on my hair...anyone else do that? I'll mix Vitamin E oils with another oil. Such as Rosehip or Argon.
Can you do a skincare video on face masks? Which ones we need to be using and how often. Thanks!
Elvive product is helping to give hair a smoother appearance. I'm recovering from telogen effluvium and find this helps make overall hair smoother.
Is there a way I can tell if my hair needs protein or not? I'm afraid of protein overload but have no idea if I need it or not?
Same here!
Try to stretch on of your hair strands between your fingers. If it can stretch a lot, too much moisture. If it snaps immediately, too much protein.
If it’s feels mushy, too soft, Cotton Candy like, stretches too much, tangles easy at the ends and seems shorter in length, and takes forever to dry. If this happens to me it usually means that I need protein.
@@itsmimi3154 thank you. Your tip really helped me. My hair is acting like this. I will use my protein mask and see how it goes
@@etcwhatever Aphogee 2 step treatment works well on me and the results last weeks. Another favorite is Joico K-Pak
Ok miss girl! I’m loving the education...are you a pro cosmetologist?? I need to know because you are so great with hair and makeup videos!!
I tried the loreal one about one week ago and my hair IS RUINED it’s breaking off from the top all the lenght lile crazy i can hear it and feel it snapping off each time the slightest movement happens to my hair i am devastated . Please if you were to try it try it on one strand of hair that’s not too big first !
Thanks for the review!! Super helpful info!
I have both but have not tried them yet. I wonder; how often can these be used? And is it mandatory to blow dry the hair for results?
Hi Abbey ❤. I have never heard of this whatsoever nevertheless it was very interesting and whether you thought it was something that everyone needed in their haircare routine and your own experience of using this. Thank you for this video 📹 💕 and enjoy your weekend 🥰.
First time ever here...You are so educated, thank you for breaking everything down and explaining it so well!
Is she?!
Hi Abbey, I love your channel and appreciate your info. I am a hair care freak and do basically all the same treatments and care for my hair somewhat (I hear my family laughing somewhere, ha) obsessively. I am on my second bottle of a Korean Lamellar Water called Moremo. It has some of the usual ingredients, but also has prickly pear, jute, desert rose, sea buckthorn and several algae extracts. It also contains 3 types of natural keratin and 17 amino acids. This stuff is amazing! I don't need any other conditioner with it and my hair stays clean longer. I don't use heat, I only air dry. My detangling brush glides through my hair, to be truthful I don't have much trouble with tangles but I have none at all with this stuff. I have waist length straight dark, almost black hair and it is extra soft and glossy with Moremo. Maybe you could try it out and let us know if you get a different result than the ones you tried. I just love it!! ❤️❤️
Wowwww that sounds fabulous! I’m going to look into it 😊 and thank you so much!
@@AbbeyYung BTW, I get it on Amazon. 😊
It says it’s cruelty free as well. I’m definitely going to try it. Thank you!
ahaha lucky, my family doesn’t laugh. they get angry. it’s my money i’m spending but my mom gets mad that i oil my hair before washing, and stuff like that. 😔
@@imawakemymindisalive13 There is nothing wrong with taking good care of yourself. Tell your Mom to chill 😂 You are buying it yourself after all. ❤️
Ok, just a thought: I think Abbey missed the most important point: all these wonder water products have huge amounts of denatured alcohol in them: if that is bad for your skin (and it is), it is bad for your hair as well in long term use. Of course when you start to use it, your hair feels amazing, and bouncy and detangled. But use it regularly long term, I am sure the denatured alcohol will fry your hair.
God my wallet is so tired of all of these “must have” products ! Thanks RUclips and tik tok ! 😂
Girl same 😂
She mention it’s not a must have, it’s a nice ad on but not an essential
I know so many things
The reviews on these products look great. If I’m already using Olaplex products, how would I work in lamellar water into the routine?
I have exactly the same question, I hope you can guide us
I would like to know the same please!
Same
Just shampoo hair first, then use No 0, then No 3, then shampoo again, use Lamellar Water and then if you want No 5 or No 8.
I heard about this on a podcast and didn’t under what it was. I was hoping you had done and video and you had. Thanks!
Happy Weekend, Abbey!❤️
Happy Weekend!!
You too, Abbey!
Trying to improve my hair care this year, I've been growing it out for a few years and haven't put any real focus on it. Saw this suggested for Asian beauty, appreciate the explainer, I am a dumb man.
So informative Thanku so much. Very helpful ❤
Info begins at 1:33 😊
Do you think the ionic properties actually differ from that of conditioner? Like does conditioner also neutralize the ions?
Good question. Actually most conditioners now contain cationic surfactants. So this is just another way for companies to try to make an extra buck.
Yes please!
Thanks for sharing information. Just one question, the same day you use a hair mask + any of these products?
Awesome explanation! To the point but also I depth. So rare . Thank you ! You’re right ! I had to Google to find out what the heck it was . Thought it was kinda like micellar water . Can’t wait to see results. Need more brushable hair STAT. Only get my virgin hair cut twice a year and it’s SUPER long . Once it gets constantly tangly , time for a haircut . But here it is super late right before Thanksgiving and I need nice hair tomorrow. My hair is super healthy except the last couple inches ( due to lack of haircuts ).I got the Not Your Mother’s brand cuz it was all that was available at 11pm near my house . Haha ! I’ll let ya know if it worked for me . Thanks again! Your hair is gorgeous 🥰
What is your nail polish here?? Love your videos!!!!
Fantastic and very thorough video.You are a hair Doctor (Trichologist:?): I am so happy to have found your site! Blessings!
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk. 😜😜😜❤️❤️❤️
Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe it should be used on the scalp.
I love your reviews they are so honest and detailed. I use Olaplex hair products. Are they low PH?
Thank you for all the advice, I have dry damaged bleached hair that is corse and kinky curly, I need all the help I can get, thank you!
Do these products repair or just temporarily make it feel awesome?
Thank you! This was done perfectly!
Why didn't they put this in a spray bottle? I'm confused by the packaging.
Can you do a full wash day routine??
Yes! Definitely need to do an update soon
@@AbbeyYung awesome! U have beautiful hair, love ur content! Instant sub!
Can you please link your teal tshirt? 😍also loved this video!
So you DO still condition after using this. Cool. I couldn't find any answer to whether or not this replaces conditioner or not. Thank you for this explanation!
So it’s not bad that these products have denatured alcohol in them? I’ve always steered clear of them because of it. I just always hear how bad it is for skin & hair. I’d love to use it, if the denatured alcohol in these aren’t damaging. Someone let me know!
So thorough...great job!
Thanks for this review. I use it too and I totally agree with all you said about the product. 😊👍
Centella asiatica is also called gotu kola which is an incredible Ayurvedic ingredient! The science is thousands of years old so it’s definitely great to look out for on an ingredient list. Idk how effective it would be in such a brief wash off treatment though so I absolutely agree with you there :)

I’ve never heard of lamellar water before so this was really interesting and informative! I’d be really interested if you did a video about scalp exfoliators. I found a physical scalp exfoliator by Nexxus (saw it recommended in Canadian Living magazine last summer) and because I have an extremely sweaty head/oily scalp I did notice a positive change when I first started using it. I incorporate it into my routine as necessary, usually about once a week, but sometimes more depending how sweaty I’ve gotten lol anyway, I’d be curious to know your take on such a product! Also, I have oily skin and have had pretty good results with using products containing salicylic acid on my face.. I think I’ve seen some scalp specific products containing salicylic acid and I’m wondering if it might have the same effect on my scalp (helping reduce oiliness). Your channel has changed the way I take care of my hair so I really value your insight 😊💞
You should try the carols daughter wash day shampoo! It has salicylic acid in it and its a good clarifying shampoo, the conditioner is equally as amazing
thank you so much for doing the deep dive..
Thanks for the review!
