This week my feed and my hair has been overtaken by the Abbey Yung method.
Have you heard of her? This influencer promotes a hair care system that promotes healthy hair growth. The system is heavy on product use and using products correctly, but part of her popularity is because of her recommendation of drugstore products which are usually very affordable. I agree that the drugstore counterparts are usually made by the same conglomerate that makes the more expensive products but where they usually lack are in texture and scent! For me, unscented is best but if it’s not unscented then I want something bougie like palo santo or sandalwood. Vanilla is preferable to fruits but even then, I don’t want it to be too sweet.
I’ve been using these Redavid products and not only are they super hydrating but they also have a powdery vanilla scent that almost reminds me of Hypnotic Poison. Someone today said I smell like a newborn baby and it had to be that it was hair wash day and I used the REDAVID shampoo and conditioner as well as the Orchid Oil dual therapy which is a leave-in conditioner and a gloss that you can mix together yourself or use separately. In case you’re interested in trends, I’m seeing more and more of these multi-chamber packaging where ingredients are separated to keep them stable or to let the user customize their formula. In this case, it actually makes sense. If I use the leave-in before washing my hair, I don’t bother with the gloss. A touch of gloss is great on the ends once my hair is washing and dried.
Also new to me: Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Frizz Tamer. When I saw this, I remembered the hair mascaras from the late 90’s. Does anyone remember those? I had a few and they always finished so fast on my longer hair – I think this tiny bottle will go quick too but it is the right size for a purse. If I keep following this new routine, I’ll be out of all my hair stuff quicker but hopefully there’s healthier hair in my future. 🤞🏽
