Kerastase against purology

I’ve never been that impressed with Kerastase, so yes I’d love to see that also.

Yes!

The high end products do last longer and a small amount goes a long way.

Stop buying the cheap crap and buy the better stuff. It will last longer, which makes it CHEAPER. Example: 1 bottle of $7 shampoo that last 1 month vs 1 bottle of $25 shampoo that lasts 4 months because you use less of it. That $25 shampoo is actually cheaper than buying the $7 shampoo every month.

@@LinnLinnok-fe5tq yeah I just budgeted for the redken shampoo, and it works pretty well.

It's not just shampoo and conditioner but styling products. That's not accessible for most people, even if you claim they last four times longer (they usually don't). @@LinnLinnok-fe5tq

Professional products weren't freely available some 15 to 20 years ago and everyone had great hair with Walmart products. So, I disagree with this push for brand products. Abbey Yong reviews a lot of less expensive hair products. Personally, I had amazing curly hair with Supermarket hair products when it was virgin. I only added some professional products when I dyed my hair and even so I mix with my favorite ones, which are Walmart. To me, the advantaged of expensive products is they are essencial if you have chemically treated hair (dye, bleaching, etc) and we can use less product. If the hair is virgin, supermarket/department store products are enough. The only product I do think we should spend is heat protectant.

Yep this one was really obvious! I usually love the content but this made me doubt a little...

Also, why did he choose moisturizing and nourishing drugstore shampoos, but then a volumizing professional shampoo? Doesn't make sense. For a fair comparison, all the shampoos should have a similar promise.

@@RR_9I thought about that too. But he didn’t compare volume but he compared moisture retention. So actually the moisturising shampoo’s should be better. I think he gave the drugstore shampoos an advantage even.

YESSSSSSS….. I totally agree…. After that part of the video I came right to the comment section to see if I was the only one that felt that way….. definitely didn’t give the first 2 a fair shot!!!!

@@AnOutLawsMotherme too!!

I agree i love batiste

Totally agree on Batiste!

Or soap and glory's dry shampoo

exactly. i hate this elitism of expensive just automatically equals better. many people, myself included, don’t really have the access to or the budget for high end hair care. and most people i know use drugstore. not all affordable products are just bad by default.

I love batiste but I agree that dove does nothing

I zoomed in both.. and seemed that she used the same amount on both sides 😰 i use almost this amount from the Moroccanoil oil

@@yaraawad1987 I did as well and would say that she used about 2x the Fructis compared to the Olaplex!

@@yaraawad1987 Try using less, and spreading it REALLY well in your palms before applying

@@LittleMissHoop ok super many many thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have very fine, almost straight hair. Even an oil heavy conditioner, very well rinsed out, can make my hair look limp and greasy. So I stayed away from oils for years. Then, my ends got really frizzy, and nothing seemed to help. So I bought a small sample bottle of oil ... and it took all the frizz away. I have to be very careful how I use it. Here's what I do. I very, very carefully pump out the absolute smallest drop of oil I can. Not a full pump, just the tiniest drip. I rub it all over the palms of my hands. then gently stroke my barely oily hands over my hair - just until my hair loses the frizz. When I'm done, there's still oil on my hands, so I wash them off. At this rate, I may never need to buy another bottle of oil again. This tiny bit of oil is all my hair needs. Everyone's hair is different, and you may (probably) will need more oil. FYI, I bought an expensive oil for my experiment, as the mini bottles don't cost that much. But I bet the lower cost oils will work if applied this way.

Me too! I had the same exact problem my whole life, but now my DIY platinum blonde hair is even healthier than my natural hair was because of his recommended products! I didnt think that could be possible

@@briacabz that's great! 👍

What do you wash your hair with?

I don't style my hair so it still never looks good but it has been as soft as it's never been since switching my shampoo and using the right conditioners. What was an incredible step towards this softness was mixing the Redken conditioner with one from Nature Box I already had before changing my routine. You can't just mix conditioners willy-nilly but I looked it up and these two are fine together and the result speaks for itself. Now running my fingers through my hair is a new comfort I never knew before and am making the most out of, haha.

I love how he gives us advice and it's not just a sales pitch! So many others are like "buy MY shampoo/conditioner/whatever" versus him using his salon experience to recommend tried-and-true products.

I swapped out and added products he recommends as well and I can't agree more! I feel like I finally tamed the beast on top of my head

Yeah, people are complaining about the price but I have found that I can actually use less product especially with shampoos. I am amazed about how little I actually need to get a rich lather. So when I think my shampoo and conditioner will need to be replaced quickly, it actually doesn't with the more expensive brands. Plus, with my hair type, I can actually get away with washing once a week which makes this even better.

Which products did you use in particular? What’s your hair type?

I haven't switched my shampoo and conditioner out yet but after using the leave in conditioner after my shower today I was amazed at how easy it was to brush through my wet hair. I also like the Redken blowout cream too. I felt great after blow-dry. It was hard to get the opalex out of the bottle. I'll need to use more of that. Just purchased the opalex 3 today to fix my hair. Hope it works.

Hey, i have been using the same products he recommends but my hair is greasy the next day. How long did it take you to see the results because girl i have been struggling with this greasy scalp.

Swavy curly courtney has a whole series called One Brand Washdays - she tries many different brands - professional & drugstore, shows the before, after, end of day and the next day for how it looks. Highly recommend.

I have curly mixed w/ kinky hair and I would love love love this too. I've learned so much from Chris, it's unreal💯

And a couple bonnets.

I didn’t process it like this at all I knew exactly what he was talking about by the title

The "experiment " is total bs anyway. Nobody is taking this seriously don't worry 😂 it's beyond obvious they set this up for anything they don't endorse to "fail".

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and trusting us! ❤️❤️❤️

Thats awesome! Im in the same boat!

Which Redken do you use?

which redken do you use?

Thats impressive! I need a New bottle every month. But i do have very very long and thick hair though

Gimme a break. What can you tell from one use of most products? Luxury items?… Oribe is headache inducing… A have a bridge.

Same, I've always been at a loss with taking care of my hair and since a year ago when I started listening to Chris here, game changed! I was always cheap with products but needed more all the time.. Since I started using better quality which is usually more expensive, I don't have to wash it as often and it's finally healthy. It doesn't have to be super expensive, either.. the one thing I go through quicker is conditioner of course, since we need more of it. But we're not supposed to need a lot of shampoo and now I really see/feel the difference:) there are some higher priced products that aren't for everyone's hair though, gotta go through a few sometimes to figure out what's best or even just take notes on all of the advice we get from this channel and it's better right away:):)

​@@amyestrada1966Not sure what you meant with the last bit of what you said. But honestly, yes, after just one time of using the right products there is really a difference. I used to cry thinking my hair was messed forever, no one had the right answers and nothing I tried worked.. ended up with way too many products I didn't need, ended up being more expensive anyway.. I found this channel, took notes from all the videos we should listen to, took the advice and instantly my hair was different.. a year later following this advice my hair has come a long way when it wouldn't change for Years.

@@jaloemimoe2319 my hair is medium/fine but it's pretty long too, we shouldn't be using more shampoo than short hair girls! Remember only to use shampoo on your scalp (I used to use it through the ends too) and that's helped me save so much product! Long hair girls shouldn't have to pay more 😂

Planet Beauty has both for $66 and free shipping if anyone needs to pick some up

I’m so happy I came across your comment😭❤️

@@MiniiCitrus -Thanks! I just put together an order. Since I'm a first time buyer with them, they even texted me a 15% off coupon that I could apply to the Moroccan Oil.

@anastasiaalexandra916 Which oil do you use???

@@SG-wq4rm I've used both Olaplex and the coconut OGX as well as the argan oil OGX, currently I use the coconut oil OGX on my ends daily.

OGX first dry oil ingredient is dimethicone, one of the worst, heaviest, hardest to remove from your hair. Imho, anything OGX is garbage. They used to be called Organix until they were forced to change their name because there’s nothing organic about their products. I’d spend on Olaplex or for a de-frizzing oil, a couple drops of pure argan or grapeseed oil rubbed between your hands then smoothed over your hair.

Yes I use the argon oil ogx and never have an issue

@@chantellewilson9497 don't get me wrong the Olaplex one is great too but I prefer the OGX coconut one. My bottle is 1/3 full now and I've had it since last June. So 6-7 months. The small amount they use of the Olaplex one is the amount I use of the OGX one. Sometimes I forget to use it, but I use it a minimum of 3 times per week.

I was pretty much thinking all of this. Abbey talks about the chemical contents and how you don’t have to get the spendy product to get the benefits. Also worth noting- there are lots of salon brands with only drugstore ingredients. So it’s all very individual. It’s not that all drugstore brands are bad or that all salon brands are good.

I also use to the OGX coconut oil before I pre-shampoo so it doesn't matter that it is heavy. It works for me as I don't use that as finishing oil.

I was thinking the same thing about Abbey’s video… remember how she said OBX also makes a spray oil that is lighter?

I tried that. NO bueno. Though it smells good- it’s way too oily. Not buying it.

Prewash conditioning is a complete waste of time and money. Ridiculous. Stop listening to anyone who advises such nonsense.

Yeah, he talks a lot about saving money with high end products due to the quality. I have really only found that to be true with shampoo. I'm able to wash my hair a lot less frequently, and I actually am usually able to use less product when I do wash. So for me, it's worth it to buy fancy shampoo :). But for other types of products, including conditioner, hair masks, hair spray, heat protectant, etc., I end up using approximately the same amount of product at about the same frequency. I don't really style my hair very often at all, so the only high-end products I buy are regular shampoo and dry shampoo. The dry shampoo I am not saving money on -- it's just the only one that works for me. I've tried just about every other dry shampoo from the drugstore, amazon, etc. I've also tried a number of higher end dry shampoos. Literally none of hworked for me other than one brand lol...I've actually tried all 3 dry shampoos he compared in this video. I found them to all be equally just kind of effective, but not great. Though I would've said the Dove was the worst.

I have long, medium, color treated hair for reference and these are the best drugstore products per my experience or research! Best pre wash hair oil: OGX Extra Strength Damage Remedy + Coconut Miracle Oil Best bond repair pre-shampoo treatment: L’Oréal Paris EverPure (a dupe for the Redken bond repair) Best bond repair shampoo and conditioners: Dove intensive repair L’Oréal Paris EverPure Bond repair Be sure to use a clarifying shampoo for your first wash before you use these!

Me being one of those people. That’s why I spent months and months researching this list of products for myself and anyone that took the time to read this. Everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, deserves to have beautiful healthy hair.

what do you use :)?

@@cutepoiisonn watch his video's. He will tell you all the stuff you need

Love IGK!

Absolutely! I bought my professional products all months ago and everything is still almost full

If you want to learn how to care for your curls, the best person to watch is Manes by Mel. She is very helpful and gives you full explanations on why you should do what she shows you to. She is a hairdresser for curly hair. Amazing skills, and her playlists incorporate any question you could have with demos.

That comes with age, bond builder really helped my hair.

Try the Redken acidic bond repair or start with the Loreal dupe. It did wonders for my hair after it fell out f4om bleach damage. And maybe a scalp treatment

I did this exact thing. I did buy the Redken shampoo bc I have the flattest roots to ever exist. For conditioner I bought the cheap L’Oréal bond building one. Hair feels much softer for sure

Did you change your diet? Had pregnancies? Your hormones could have changed

Honestly, why not? Drug store is cheap, there’s not much loss if you want to start trying cheaper options, I have a mix of cheap and expensive products, cheapest is conditioner. I was once traveling abroad at someone else’s house spending the night, and the only hair conditioner available was a super cheap local brand one, BEST I’ve ever used, hair was soft, shiny, and manageable. (I have coarse frizzy hair)

Olaplex 3 is great My other favorite is redken acidic bonding pre treatment and the 5 min treatment mask. Great redken line as well

omg , i am about to buy that for my hair , cuz of his quizzz i have ALOT of volume wavy and dryness and zero scalp oils, my son has pin straight greasy hair zero volume. LOLL my hair has high porosity , it cannot hold moisture. or oil.

@@melissaverdoni845 that sounds really really similar to mine!!!!! i basically have exactly the same hair. my hairs become A LOT softer since switching to moroccanoil shampoo/conditioner/oil. i also gently blow dry after washing as per chris' instructions. i prob have the nicest hair i've ever had :)

@@cerenthekoala thank you !! i got the leave-in conditionner , next is the shampoo and conditionner and mask.

It's even worse in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Our dollar is weaker that is why

LOL I'm 100% with you on the smells. It's weird right?

Maybe the scents have something to do with the performance of shampoos... Just me thinking

His channel is called blowout professor so many other channels smh🤦🏻‍♀️

I second this!😊

Hi! I've been wondering if I should buy that one. Does it have any strong scent?

@@mariaignacialeonorno

Dollar Tree sells a Batiste dupe.

they also have a "bare" version that's a bit less scented 😊​@@mariaignacialeonor

Which one helped you.

Why?

Do they make dry shampoo?

@@pbear7814 they do, Diane has a very famous one

It's much easier/less redundant to call cheap products that way, it causes less confusion. and as the brands are not omitted or hidden at any time, it is clear to understand the reason for the classification, that is, at least most people can

Wash just your scalp, not the ends. Residual suds take care of mids and ends.

@@JC-ez8nsI never wash my ends.

Oddly, my mom's hair felt just fine after using the same products (I gave her a blowout), but her hair is a lot longer and thicker than mine, as well as having less gray, so I guess I didn't get her hair. Mine could be drier because I color. No bleach, just get my roots touched up every 6-8 weeks because I'm 80% gray at 43.

Never use any all-in-one shampoo and conditioner. It's just a bad idea and doesn't work. I occasionally use some moisturizing Pantene products and really like some of them.

I let it just air dry (my hair is too fragile). It still gives volume at the roots.

If you're not using a blow dryer, you're going to have to wash more

You can mix and match brands. That's just marketing to get us to buy more. Blow dry your fine hair. Blow dried hair produces less oil. Check out Abbey Yung's channel for more on this topic.
