PS- Ever since watching ALL of Abbey’s videos and taking her advice - the health and condition of my hair has transformed! Thank you for keeping it real, powered by science, and honest! 💗♥️😘
I have also found that my shedding is decreased when I eat at least 120 grams of protein a day as well as a scoop of collagen. It took me a while to find this out, but now that I track my macros, it has been a game changer for my hair.
Your tips and tricks have been a game changer for my hair while I live through my 50’s. I also have super fine hair and it’s never looked more healthy. Thank you!
Thanks for asking, I’m definitely watching for distraction from working on Easter! Lol but I would watch either way. Thanks for the great info as usual! Hope you’re having a good Easter🐣
There is a Facebook group about hairloss from covid. Over 11,000 of us have lost hair and going through massive amounts of hair loss in the past 2 years it’s kinda crazy being a hairstylist I’ve never seen as much hairloss as I have in the last 2 or so years
Yup! Me too. I've always had quite long hair and I had to cut it almost should length after covid. It started about 2 months after 😭 it was upsetting watching it all fall out. Thankfully after a few months it's started to slow down
@@SiennaNotMiller It really does feel thicker. I cut it to the shortest length at the back. I hated it for a few days as it was a massive change but tbh there was no point holding on to the thin length. Blunt cut for me as I have fine hair as is so I can't really do layers. If the same is happening to you, there is an end in sight, I'm honestly loosing a really small amount now ❤️ x
I experienced COVID that lasted around 11 days. I thought I was fine until I started to lose more hair than usual. After doing some research, I've come to realize it’s from the strain my body had during that time period and also the shampoo I had been using. So I started doing meditation, yoga daily and changed my shampoo and conditioner to littleextrraa coooconion anti hair fall kit. And now i dont face any hairfall. Thanks for this video! I feel so much more at peace.
Omg girl thank you SO. MUCH. for touching on this issue. I am definitely dealing with this question lately and pretty sure I commented on something of yours on insta 😆 Thank You for this video!
My hair started falling out in clumps a few weeks ago. I had excessive amounts of hair in my brush after I showered and brushed my hair. Did some research and realized it was due to Covid that I had back in January! This is a very common side effect of Covid, usually occurring 2-3 months after having Covid. Hopefully, it will start growing back, but, from what I read it will eventually grow back, but usually takes at least 6 months!!
Yay, I love your hair care content! My favorite thing to watch are your hair product reviews. Are you still planning on posting yet another update on function of beauty? Do you still use it and like it?
Hi Abbey ❤, Happy Easter 🐣 😘! Great video 📹 as always and I found that this is always an important topic to speak about and for your viewer's including me are or have been going through hair shedding or hair loss to were you know its not normal. Thanks for your help with this topic 🥰!
Thank you for the great video and as always great tips! Could you talk about blow drying versus air drying (not towel drying) hair in a video? I cannot find a video of yours about it (only short reel on instagram), but I've heard different things about what causes less breakage... Thank you Abbey 🥰
This is a good reminder to be a little bit kinder to my hair when washing it. I tend to really scrub my scalp😬. I am starting to have thinning in front as well as my hair texture is changing from coarse to fine. I have gone grey at an early age and made the decision last fall to stop colouring it. What A difference in my hair health🥰!!
Over the last several years I have noticed I shed A LOT through out the summer months. I am in my 50’s and this probably started in my mid to late 40’s. I don’t know if moving to Florida and heat has anything to do with it, or just age. It’s not breakage, and it always grow back, but does end up a lot more sparse towards the end of the summer/fall…then fuller by the beginning of the next summer. My hair is pretty fine in texture, and was never thin…although definitely thinner during the summer months these days.
You should do a video on the best ways to clean up hair that sheds. My hair pops up everywhere in the house despite cleaning often. Sometimes a few strands accompany my husband's shirt at work even though he's the only one handling his work shirts.
I think different shampoos can cause breakage and hair loss too. I’ve noticed that some shampoos make my hair fall out more than others. It could also be the season like you mentioned or getting an IUD.
First of all- LOVE YOU ABBEY ♥️ your channel is my go-to mental vacation and “Beauty info school”. So grateful for you! 💗 I went to my derm last week and am confirmed with a serious case of Telogen effluvium. I am heart broken. It’s been going on for likely years due to my medical conditions/stress levels/trauma. Anyone else? Weird because my hair keeps is currently getting MUCH longer, as I’ve been taking really good care of it for a a year now, but is just falling out quicker…. Anyone have tips? ♥️
Elizabeth - you've given me something to dig into. Chronically high stress levels in recent years. . .I swear I've been collecting ping pong balls of hair in the shower.
The extreme stress of grief, after losing my husband suddenly to cancer, caused excessive hair loss for a couple of months... it has gone back to normal after 4 to 5 months. My favorite gentle brush is made by Olivia Garden, and they have bristles for different textures of hair.
I don't brush my hair (I style it wavy by scrunching) so I comb my hair when I shower. When I wash my hair I lose a ton of hair. It's always very alarming and I sometimes think how I am not bald with the amount that comes out in the shower. I think it is because all of my hair comes out at once (in the shower) rather than during the day or from daily brushing. Still, I have fine hair so it always has me like 🥴😅
@@user-sk9qk8ut5b yep exactly. I went 20 years of my life brushing my hair because I didn't know it was wavy/curly, so the past few years I don't brush and I lost a lot more in shower than I used to haha
Hi Abby! Very helpful!! I have very long fine hair as well 💗 I seem to have a problem with my scalp getting congested as I work out a lot so I have to shampoo at least twice a week or it actually prohibits growth ! I would love some tips on getting the scalp healthier 💗🕊🐣💋
Ever since I started using oribe hair care products, my hair sheds SO much less and the condition of my hair has great improved. Quality products Deff play a part.
Hi Abbey! Do you think you could do a video on the Odele brand at Target? The brand has hair care, along with body washes and styling products, and it would be super interesting to see how they compare to other drugstore shampoos & conditioners! :)
I hope you do a review on the Olaplex 9 serum! I just got it during the Sephora sale and I really like it! My hair sheds so much but I have a ton of hair and I’ve always been a big shedder. The one thing that seems to keep the shedding to a minimum is taking a “hair vitamin”! I don’t shed nearly as much if I take those daily!
Just a suggestion: I have very tangley fine hair. Use a very wide toothed comb to detangle with conditioner in the shower.then dry your hair completely and brush with wet brush. No more breaking
I always look forward to your videos.. I have noticed lots of shedding but I did turn 50 and my once very thick hair is now more fine Can you do a new video on ur top shampoo picks for fine hair. I am currently trying a few different ones including the drunk elephant brand ! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for your videos! I was wondering if you had an opinion on the Aveda Botanical Repair line? I've pretty much sold my soul to Olaplex, but I still find the concept interesting lol
Can you please try the Vegamour brand for hair loss? I’ve also been curious about their eyebrow and eye serum since it has no prostaglandins in it like other serums have!
I have a quick question; I am totally on board with brushing super gently and using good brushes (I have a Mason pearson brush at home I love) but my hair is long, medium density, and fine. It gets tangled even though I wear my hair down 99% of the time so I do like to brush at least 2X per day, sometimes 3X. Is that ok? I just can't imagine only brushing once.
What is the color of the lipstick you are wearing? I'd thought it would be in the description but I don't think it is. it's looks so pretty on you and I'd like to try it.
I’ve been using K18 religiously now, once a week for two months now. It’s been a game changer. However I see on their website that you can overuse it and they say to stop after 6 weeks and then use every 2-3 weeks afterwards. Thoughts? I’m worried it will lead to breakage if I keep using it once a week.
Agree 😘, I've had so much hair loss over the last few months more than I ever had before and it scared the absolute heck out of me. Which then I ended up having to go to the Doctor to see what was going on. If you are still going through this to were you think that this isn't normal for you. I would recommend that you make an appointment to see your Doctor.
Hi Abbey! The link to the Wet Brush Pro takes me to another video. Could you link the exact Wet Brush you use and love so much please? Thank you! And Happy Easter 🐰🐣🐇
Ive noticed recently what snaps off my hair the most…my purse shoulder strap, my necklace clasp, my seatbelt, and my car door (i have long hair and the wind always seems to catch it as I’m closing the door) ugh!
Would love to know what you say to your colorist when you get your hair highlighted etc…no matter what I say I feel like they rip through my hair. It is traumatizing :(
A Swedish study showed that women there shed more in October, which is what I cling to right now in hopes that my shedding is normal. Live near Sweden, same weather.
We have the same hair problem , the tangles are real and I'm definitely guilty of ripping through my hair. I have to use hair detangler a lot of the time , otherwise I have so much hair on my brush after 🥺
May I recommend a product which is the best detangler I’ve ever used. My hair isn’t thick, there’s just a lot of it. As a professional horseman (show horses) it’s important that riders and horses are well turned out. There’s nothing more gorgeous than a horse’s luxurious tail. A product call Cowboy Magic sealed the deal for my horses and myself. Just a smidge after washing and no tangles. It’s also light so it won’t weigh down your hair or make it feel greasy. It’s fairly inexpensive and most definitely worth a try.
My question is for my son's hair..he insists on it being longer. Shoulder length. His hair is fine but a lot of it and it is curly and straight. Bottom layer curly top layer straight. Anyway it tangles like crazy and he just yanks through it. Is there something light I can put in it to help detangle when it is dry that won't leave it greasy and dirty looking? The stuff I use on my hair wet like.the Pureology product is just to much for his fine hair. I just don't know how to get the tangles out each morning!
Have a question for you abbey do you or have you used hair supplements like Nurafol,Viviscal or Noor just curious to see if you have and which of would you recommend for us ladies out there that have shedding 🌺abbey appreciate you advice have a nice evening😊🌺
OMG my hair and skin have done a total 360 since using some of the products you have mentioned in your videos. Thank you for pulling me out of the "clean beauty" downward spiral I was in. It wasn't a cute look.
What products are you currently using ? When you say “clean beauty” do you mean organic products? I’ve been using organic products but I feel like it’s not helping 🥴
3 months after super mild case of corona. I got all the nioxin stuff and a prescription tablet from derm. It is growing back, but all the new hair is gray. It’s ok. I’m fine. I am 60, so expected.
I have to wash my hair daily. I am the most oily person to ever exist, and I intensely exercise every single day. So skipping a wash is just not an option for me and I'm so sad about it. I wish I could go a few days. I shed SO MUCH and have my entire life... like DEFINITELY more than 100 hairs a day. I have had every test under the sun done, including my thyroid yearly and I am "the picture of health". I don't know how to stop it!
I have very fine, thin hair and I’ve been paranoid about hair loss since my late teens. If you are experiencing age/hormone related thinning that is not dramatic, I can say it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between “normal” shedding and hair loss. I live with this anxiety every day. Is it really falling out this time? Or is it just the season, etc? I’m slowly coming the realization that I will never truly be sure. Doctors pass it off as a cosmetic concern so they have been no help. I condition appropriately, use minoxidil, a red light device and take specific vitamins. I feel like I’m doing all that I can but I haven’t found that “one thing” that dramatically reduces shedding so I don’t still obsess over it on a daily basis.
@@alyssafiumara8177 I’ve been doing it for close to a year, same with minoxidil. I can definitely see regrowth at my temples but it kind of feels like plugging a sinking boat with chewing gum. 😂 Still super thin all over and lots of shedding.
@@iwillstom I also have fine thin limp hair. Also have weird cowlicks on the crown which makes me look like I have a bald spot. 😦 I'm trying to consume more protein and especially gelatin to see if that helps. A hairdresser once told me people with fine hair shed more...don't know if that is true. It is depressing.
@@dianam9028 It could be many things but I started iron supplements and my shedding got better. Have your ferritin level checked. If it’s below 80, supplements might help.
My stylist is typically rough with my hair as I’ve experienced with most stylists. What do you tell your stylist to make sure they’re gentle without being rude about it. Thanks!
I just warn them that my hair is VERY tangly and not to take that warning lightly, because while dry it doesn’t look like it would be. I also tell them that it always hurts when people brush or even touch my hair and to please be gentle. Also make sure to tell them that upon booking the appointment and warn them to book a little extra time! If they’re not in a rush they are much less likely to pull on your hair while trying to brush it out as fast as possible.
I also just experienced this. My hairdresser combed through my hair rather quickly and tbh it kind of hurt. I would say something along the lines of "if you don't mind, can you..." idk
My hair is short now and my hair doesn’t shed as much when it’s dry. But when I shampoo it and condition it, it comes out…no matter what shampoo and conditioner I use. But my hair still looks thick and healthy after my hair dries…so confused Lol
Obviously we can’t go around counting how many hairs we are shedding each day, so how can we tell if the shedding that we’re experiencing is normal or not?
I had significant hair loss due to an eating disorder when I was younger and the dermatologist I saw actually advised a daily hair count and I put them in little ziploc bags each day. It''s a bit of a pain but that's really the only way to tell if it's abnormal or not.
If you see an increase in the amount of hair fall, on pillows, brushing or shampooing, more than usual, or you see hair thinnin in your scalp, then likely it's not normal
Lol I'm the type who go around counting the hair strands. Btw on wash day I lose usually 90-100 and non wash days 30-40. I wash my hair 3x week, is it normal!? 🥲
@@ShiroUsagiArt Sounds normal. It's only a concern if you are losing more than you usually are and if you are seeing any thinning or balding. Some people lose more hair than others. If you like, you could try something like the ordinary scalp serum.
@@nevraelisaveta7009 You mean a nutritional IV with iron in it? Have you tried it? So you're at 11 right now and trying to get up to 80? I'm at 20 and was told I need to get to 80-100 for my hair to grow.
do you have recommendations for keeping your hair out of your drain? I find that drain covers/ plugs don't work very well and just get really gross really fast
I have hip length hair, wear it loose, and have dealt with this for over 40 years. I use a mesh strainer that sits in the tub drain. I have an old tub that doesn't have a built-in plug, so this works well. When I had a shower, I unscrewed the cover plate and put my strainer in, then put the cover plate back - without the screws so I could clean the strainer easily. I need to clean it after every shampoo. I also have one of those plastic "zipper" drain cleaning tools. Every month or so I'll put it down the drain to pull out any hair that makes it past the strainer. It's a gross job, but no worse than cleaning my vacuum cleaner. I consider it the price of having long hair.
maybe i am one of those lucky people, but even if i don`t brush my hair, there are no tangles ... i have not brushed my hair almost at all (unless i wanted to straighten my hair, maybe 1-2 per year) for 10 years at least ... now i do brush it a few times per week just because i wanted a brush 😝
you didn’t talk about telogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia? also there is sooo much more that affects hair loss than mechanical manipulation. your diet, your hormone levels, iron levels, oxygen to scalp etc. you kind of left out the most prevalent causes of hair loss and just focused on the breakage aspect. lots more to be said
