Yesss!! My stylist just used k18 on me but I’m used to olaplex. Idk the diff

Your channel is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! The science of these products and why they work and don’t work, most product reviews are “yes, it did what the commercial said it would” but that on the surface as we know doesn’t really mean anything as someone that’s trying to find a reliable product doing more than just surface level benefits. All hair is different and it’s so nice that your channel exists and I can come here for product advice :’) my stylist is excellent but she doesn’t have time to try a bunch of different products & explain it all to me unfortunately hahah. Thank you! ❤️

Can’t wait for the k18 review. Been curious about that one. But i purchased the redken leave in recently, just waiting to go through some of my shampoo/conditioner stock before i purchase the corresponding set for it!

I used Olaplex for years and recently starting using K18 and I'm blown away with how it actually is making a difference in my hair. I look forward to seeing your comparison of the two.

I love your channel!! I really enjoy the content and that you back it up with research! I'm excited for a k18 review. I've watched your Korean skincare video and would love to see a hair care one from Stylevana sometime (:

THANK YOU! Love your channel!so much more informative than most! Most youtubers or influencers just repeat what the brand tells them and are focused on selling and getting a commission!

I've been using the Redken ABC (acidic bonding concentrate) line and love it, but my hair way very over processed so the shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in weren't doing enough repairing although they made my hair feel great. i have recently tried K18 leave-in mask and i am blown away by the result after 1 use, i haven't even made it to my next wash day yet and my hair feels seriously reconstructed. i would love to know more about the product; this is the first video of yours i've seen but it was a great video, i don't feel like you're trying to sell products and i love that you try the products and all your information is so detailed, very helpful.

Agree with the others here. I've been using olaplex no.3 and liking it so far but I'd definitely love to hear your thoughts in comparison to k18. Another great video!

Thank you so much for these educational videos! I appreciate all the work and research you put in. Would love to see more vids about k18 & olaplex!

I found your channel looking for a review on the new redken acidic bonding concentrate line. I bought the whole line because of you and started following you on everything! I feel like I’ve learned so much and I’m going to start trying so many of your tips and I’m so excited! Just wanted to say thank you for all the great advice and recommendations ☺️

Great content. Very helpful. Abbey u r soooo articulate and intelligent not to mention ur hair is beautiful. I plan on purchasing the Redken Acidic bonding concentrate. Thank u

I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m (now) using a filter in my shower and a lot of products you’ve recommended. I used the Olaplex after the ACV by DPhue and noticed my hair looks broken all Over . I’ll be trying the K18 next … I’m not sure if using Olaplex after Acv was a misstep on my end or if it was solely Olaplex no 3 … :-(

Not sure if this helps but I've been using k18 weekly and my hair has made such a noticeable improvement. I alternate it with olaplex 8, which I also love, but since adding k18 I have really noticed my bleached hair has started to look like normal again. Edit: my hairdresser said that olaplex is great for damage during bleaching but k18 is great for fixing/preventing damage from heat 🤷‍♀️

You would make a great teacher/ professor. You are already educating us here but I love how smart you are

I’m trying O’Malley now it’s good to know it has properties to help rebuild the hair not just momentarily Thanks when I was showering today I saw bond repair on the bottle and thought I need to look into this to see if this is helping my fragile hair because I need help yesterday ! Lol thanks for your advise

Hey Abbey! Love the informational video. Just wanted to know, do these work primarily for damage from over processing the hair? Can these work for fine long hair that just gets breakage from every day stuff- like getting tangled or snagged in my sleep/my bags/etc?

Yes. Please post a video to compare K18 and Olapplex! I have used both and would love your thoughts.

I'm excited to hear your thoughts on K18! I love Olaplex just as much, both so good! GIRL you know your stuff when it comes to hair science! You'd make a great stylist!! 😊 also hair looks stunning as always! 👑 x

Thanks so much!

Very impressive and trustworthy information. You lead a good example 🙏🏽💓💓 and hair goals!

I bought the Redken acidic bond concentrate conditioner after watching your video on the line. I have virgin hair but my curls/waves have been a little dry and crunchy recently and just needed some help. I have to say it’s truly amazing! I have fine, lower density hair and it didn’t weigh my hair down at all and made it soooo bouncy! Plus the conditioner smells kinda like a B&BW Christmas candle so that was great to lol!

This video is gold for us who trives to figure it out, but have way less skill and energy to research everything 💝

I’d love to see an olaplex vs K18 comparison! I’m in love with olaplex and I’d like to hear how you think they compare

Thanks for this. This whole hair science is still a bit of a mystery to me despite how many videos I watch. I’d like to tone my hair at home. It gets so yellow and brassy that purple shampoos don’t make enough of a difference. I’ve tried Sally toning concoctions but would love a thought out video on this. How can we fake blondes lighten and brighten just a tad between salon treatments?

Use revolution drops that’s you put in your conditioner. Will make your hair a very pale purple for a few washes but when it rinses it’ll be platinum x

I have been using the leave-in Redken treatment (white bottle) and absolutely LOVE it! It doesn't leave a sticky feeling but I am heavy handed and it is possible to over do it, and then you get slightly crunchy hair. So I use two chick pea size doses )I have thin/fine but long hair) and it has really helped. I wonder if I migt get the Conditioner of this line but it might be too heavy for my fine hair. I also have tried the Proten Extreme blue bottle range for breakage and the shampoo is super, the mask made the shower surface slippers and nearly fell over but my hair seems to like it! The Redken pink bottle range of Volume Injection gave me a bit of an itchy scalp and the conditioner is not very helpful and knotted my hair loads. There you have it! Redken is great!

It says on the bottle that you can leave it on for longer though.

The way you take the time to explain the science behind these things is great and you do a fantastic job overall but I do want to make one slight correction that peptides are short chains of amino acids and peptide bonds string together peptides into polypeptides. What you said was really close but a little off so I just wanted to point that out not that it really makes a huge difference though in what you’re saying :) again thank you for taking the time to go into the science, hardly anyone ever does so it’s really refreshing when someone actually does

Unrelated but have you tried anything else or recommend the inkey list hair products in general?

I love the inkey list spray, but I notice cause me build up , but yes is pretty good 👍 I have to give a try to the k18 , I used olaplex treatments every 3 months

Interesting. I was curious what you think about olaplexes claims because we never got to talking about the disulfate bonds and how those might be repaired. I will look into getting some low pH hair care though

Good to know specifically what ingredients to look for in products so ty for listing these with each one. It's great you do so much before your videos so you can speak with experience about the items. The more informed choices we can make about what to buy hopefully the less $ we'll waste as consumers.

I have colored treated hair. I use to be brown/black hair now I am mostly blonde I have thought about trying out the redken acidic bonding shampoo and conditioner and also the olaplex bonding smoother do you think this combo would good?

I’m new to the “bond repair” product world and I’m a little lost on where to start. I’ve got thin blonde highlighted hair, my hair dresser has told me it’s very porous. Any suggestions on what products to start with? Could you also explain how K18 & olaplaex differ from the other products?

I recently tried Inky List Peptide volumizing treatment and really like it,, it says use just twice a week but i did see under Q&A's on their website it can be used daily (Yay!) I always need volume. So I want to try the PCA BOND REPAIR as well, can both of these be used same day? OR does the PCA BOND give a Volumizing effect too? Maybe it would be good on its own. I tried K18 and it does help with frizz after blowing hair out.

I would love to see your input on Virtues products

Hi Abbey love your videos! Do you think it would be possible for you to compare It's a 10 leave in spray and Pureology color fanatic multi-tasking leave-in spray?

Thank you for the deep dive! I am using the Redken but early days. Maybe unlucky that Inky spray is really annoying. The little pump is awkward with wet hands didn’t work so pored it in another spray bottle and a huge glob of brown stuff went everywhere wasting most of it - not impressed 😮 Maybe I put some remaining liquid on with my hands 😢since you like it on my light weight curly hair

Joico k pak revitaluxe and intense hydrator also fall into a few of these categories. They both contain quaternary ammonium compounds, cationic silicones, amino acids peptides and proteins, and are low ph (particularly intense hydrator). Edited to add I don’t believe they contain any patented disulfide bond repairing agents though such as the one found in olaplex

What are your thoughts on time released hair care products 🤔

I've tried 2. Redken and Olaplex and it did NOT work for my long, fine (but a lot of it), hair. I researched and it looks like my hair is high porosity and 2C/3A. I'm Caucasian. Both brands just seemed to coat my hair and feel heavy. I felt no difference from the other protein (keratin) type shampoos. So to me, this just feels like another gimic. These two bond shampoos also left my hair dry and frizzy. And this was from the first shampoo with each of these about a week apart. I won't be trying any other bond repair products. Total BS - for my hair at least!

Can you do a view on hair Botox treatment? It completely transformed my hair from hagrid to something more manageable. It only lasts 3 months though and you don’t lose wave / curl pattern since it doesn’t become flat straight like a keratin treatment.

Could you make a video about the Triple Bond Complex Leave-In Hair Treatment from Living Proof? 😊

Lots of info here, can you say whether these products actually repair or do they only work as long as you use them? If you stop using them after a while, does the hair start to break off?

Would love to know what you think or if you’ve tried the Curlsmith Bond Rehab Salve.

i have a ton of the olaplex line i got from my job (including olaplex no 2) but now everyone is talking about k18 so im really curious which one is better bc my hair is very damaged at the moment

The question I have is when you use a bond builder vs a bond repair, or are they the same product?

This girl is an angel 👼

Love this video! So i finally bought the hair food brand. I try to stay away from silicones in my conditioner just because I use so many in my leave ins. The conditioner has silicone quaternium-26. For some reason I heard quat in my head from this video but now rewatching.. I believe I heard it wrong. Any clue if this has anything to do with bond building? ♥️

@MychelleBellydance

The abbreviation is quat among formulators, you heard that right somewhere. It’s not a bond builder, but smooths and helps other silicones adhere to the hair shaft.

I think I have protein buildup but I am not quite sure. I’ve been using olaplex n.4 & 5 for awhile now and just this month my hair has been progressively getting more dry and brittle and unmanageable. I’m not really sure what I should do next.

Do these products only help repair your current hair or do they do anything to help stimulate the actual hair follicles that may not be currently producing much hair?
