Hi Abbey, as a PhD candidate in protein biochemistry and studying proteins for a living (I mean I do it 24/7) I cannot agree more with everything that you’ve said. No haircare product can speed up hair growth and no amount of essential oil can cause your hair to miraculously grow down to your butt. Once damage has been done to the alpha keratin in the hair, only a bond repairing product can replace those bonds and even then, that protein structure has STILL been altered and will never be the same. Our hair, from my perspective has been designed to withstand stressors, which is why we have so many layers (cuticle, medulla, cortex) but when we introduce physical damage such as bleaching and perming that’s when real hair damage really starts to show, and bond building products have been designed to help with this type of damage. But at the end of the day, once that protein structure has lost its structure i.e a loss in the hydrogen, disulphide and salt bridges that form, your hair will never be the same.

@KA that is true, but it's only one study from what I can recall, so there isn't "concrete" evidence that rosemary oil is going to work for everyone. Some that have used rosemary oil complain about excessive hair loss, which to me shows that the results are variable and not reliable. Pumpkin seed oil has been shown to promote new growth, but that's taken as an oral supplement and not applied to the hair
If only I could convince my mom that "natural" and "clean" and "organic" (when it's one single ingredient in an inky list) doesn't mean "better"... ugh. Thanks for your content!

YES! No amount of keratin/collagen is actually going to improve hair unless you're already deficient in certain amino acids. We all have an "amino acid pool" so we eat proteins, our body breaks them down into individual amino acids, and then uses those amino acids to build new proteins. Ensuring you're eating enough and a variety of proteins is really all you have to do to make sure your body can make those proteins!
I hope other creators watch this video. The amount of misinformation being posted online is irresponsible. Thank you for doing the research before suggesting products!
YES vote for a part 3! Love these videos, Abby! Thanks for all your hard work and research ❤
I'll admit that I did fall for the "clean beauty" gimmick when it first became popular, but when I really started to think about some of the claims and did my own research on ingredients, I quickly realized that it was exactly that, a gimmick. Now I know what to actually look for and don't pay much attention to "clean" marketing. I also know what ingredients agree with my body and what don't, i.e. I can't use toothpaste with SLS (it irritates my gums and makes the inside of my mouth peel) but that doesn't make SLS a bad ingredient.

I never “fell” for clean beauty, but I did gravitate toward products that had the marketing because the ingredients tended to be more what I was looking for. I want to try to stick to ingredients I recognize (not always “natural”, I’m all for “chemical” sounding names as long as I know they are safe). I know some people really roll their eyes at the clean beauty thing, but I am so grateful for Ulta’s clean beauty label, because a few years ago a study came out showing something like 80% of mascaras in the study, and majority of other makeup products contain specific carcinogens (PFAS) that build up in the body and have a tendency to stay there or take a long time to be excreted. Companies don’t care about us they care about money- they will make a new compound and find a use for it, and say that it’s been shown to be safe- because it’s only a few years old so there is not evidence to show it isn’t. It happened with radium, it happened with thalidomide. I’m not scared of “chemicals”, but I wouldn’t be quick to embrace a multimillion dollar industry that profits off you

OH! I forgot to tell you I'm on my 4th application of Epres. GURL! So, I'm growing out my grays and my hair is half-gray, half-red. The red has been dyed and dyed and dyed and dyed and color stripped. You can literally close your eyes and run your hands down my hair, and tell where the gray stops and the red begins. The texture changes from soft and silky to crackling straw. The first use of Epres, I noticed, well, nothing. Second use, the feeling of silk extended much farther down my hair shaft. Third, even further. Today's wash day and my 4th (and final because it takes 1/2 a bottle to treat my long, thick hair), it's just maybe the last two inches of hair that still feel not quite silky. And even they are softer than they were! I'm definitely re-ordering it. It smells like someone left mothballs under a carpet in the 1970s, but I cannot deny the results.
Abby coming through with the FACTS 💪🏽
I agree! It's too good to be true!
I agree with the whole biotin thing, I can't believe people actually believe that. I know people take supplements but it doesn't make sense topically, same with topical collagens. Some things are better off oral. I don't believe in the whole "clean" beauty thing, it's a massive scam.
Hey Abbey! Would love to hear your opinion on collagen supplements in regards to skin health! I’ve watched videos from the budget dermatologist that swayed me to give them a try.

No amount of keratin/collagen is actually going to improve hair unless you're already deficient in certain amino acids. We all have an "amino acid pool" so we eat proteins, our body breaks them down into individual amino acids, and then uses those amino acids to build new proteins. So if you have a good diet you shouldn't see a stark difference. And if you see a big difference then checking your diet should be your first step.

I do like products that don’t contain parabens, phthalates or DMDM hydranton bc it’s literally formaldehyde. So I disagree with you about more natural products. And many like myself are allergic to added fragrances, so I try to stay away from that.

Hi Abby I love your videos and take your advice very seriously. So saying that can you Review the e.l.f. Hydrating Core Lip Shine, and the Heritage by Mindys new scalp care line with the blue packaging. Thank you 💗
In middle school I used drugstore shampoo and conditioner, my hair was long shiny and just gorgeous. Then in the beginning of highschool and ever since I have been using professional shampoo and conditioner and it literally made my hair break off. I'm even a 3rd generation licensed hairstylist lol. Been thinking of going back to non sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and maybe even trying out the older drugstore brands I used to use. Because my hair is so thin on the bottom when it starts to get past my shoulders but I know it has amazing potential because people used to say my hair was so long and shiney, they said it looked like a hair models! I miss it.

Regarding strengthening hair: is it safe to use colourless henna on thin/brittle hair? (Not coloured or heat damaged) I'd like to try it as people say it coats the hair making it look and feel thicker + I have this annoying parting that appears at the back of my head, and I'm thinking it could make that not appear on day 2 after shampooing.

I'm old, and not a "hair" person. I leave my hair alone and it leaves me alone. I have used and liked the Hask Biotin leave-in conditioner, simply because I like it--like the smell or whatever. It's fine, I guess, no tangles. However, while playing around, I tried Hask Keratin leave-in conditioner, and that made me feel like my hair was sort of sticking together, and harder to comb. Just thought I'd mention that.

It’s always made sense to me that putting something on the bottom of your hair won’t affect how the hair is growing out of the top of your head. But then what about every time I get my hair cut and I’m told it will grow faster if I get it trimmed every six weeks? That’s bogus, right?
@natmya243
Жыл бұрын
The point of a haircut is to trim off the split ends so they don't split up the hair shaft. It's not that it makes your hair grow longer as in literally from your scalp it's to keep the ends healthy to stop them breaking off and splitting upwards from the bottom which would stop it getting longer overall. Anyone who colours their hair knows it's growing because the roots come through. It's about maintaining any length that you get. Products can help with this but split ends cannot be reversed (they can be kind of sealed to stop spreading) but the only way to rid them is to cut them off. If they are cut off but practices are not changed to maintain lengths and reduce damage the hair will split again.
@personmcdudeguy
Жыл бұрын
Every six weeks is overkill unless your hair is damaged very easily or already in bad condition. But regular trims are the difference between thick healthy ends and raggedy see-through ones, even if the total length isn't changed very much.
