Totally understand about acrylics damaging your nail. I was like that too when I went to the salon. However, since COVID I have been doing my own nails and came to the realization that it was NOT the acrylics ruining my nails...it was improper removal. Since doing my own, never had an issue with nail breakage or thinning. I do acrylics or hard gel on my natural nail and then dip or apply gel polish over it. I use peel base under my colors so that when I want to switch, I can without causing damage to the acrylic or gel underneath. While it did take a month of trial and error for me to get it right, it was worth it. Watched videos on KZitem..... Marla Kriss is a good one

Just a note on the Olaplex shampoo and any other shampoo that is high in pH: The reason they are that high is so the cuticle of the hair can open a bit to enable the ingredients to better penetrate the hair. It's much more important to have a conditioner or final rinse that is pH balanced rather than the shampoo. That's why a vinegar water rinse is so popular, because it closes the cuticle back up. At any rate, you have a gorgeous head of hair so you must be doing something right. And your hairdresser is fire! Perfect color!

In terms of the OLAPLEX shampoo, 6-6.5 is definitely a higher pH than human hair’s natural pH level, but as long as you’re following up with a good conditioner, which will, by design, lower the hair’s pH to its optimal level, you’re really not going to run into any long term issues with your hair. It would be more of an issue if you were shampooing and just skipping the conditioning step entirely.

There's a very big misconception about deoderant (natural or not) versus antiperspirant. Deoderant only works on odor, it will not prevent perspiration which is why you still sweat and feel damp. Enter anti perspire ent . This stops you from sweating at all. That's the equivalent of using conditioner in your hair, when you want a shampoo. They do 2 different things. I had to switch back to antiperspirant as well, I just couldn't find a deoderant that controlled the odor (I gave it a year), so if you use something that doesn't allow you too sweat, bacteria (which is what causes the smell) doesn't have a chance to form.

I went on natural deodorant band wagon too but found after awhile it was ineffective at controlling odour. The best thing I’ve used so far is actually a benzoyl peroxide cleanser that I used as an underarm mask in the shower. I leave it on for a couple of minutes and pretty much can get away with not using anything else. I would recommend however that you find one that is less than 5% as 5% can be a bit irritating. As well, switch to white towels as the peroxide will leave bleach stains on a coloured towel.

What a lot of people also don’t realize that sourcing natural ingredients is so much more taxing on the environment and then the products either aren’t effecting or go bad so quickly because of marketing propaganda claiming preservatives aren’t safe. I’m not knocking anyone for what they choose to use, I’m simply in the business of what’s safest and gives the best results. There was a time when I couldn’t decipher and ingredient list and relied mostly on marketing to dictate where my money went. We’re all learning and growing, including myself. Not trying to spark any heated discussion, the research speaks for itself- just wanted to show my support.

Many plans, even free ones, typically require a referral for a specialist and that typically requires a medical issue as well. I'm just saying, if you want it expressly for anti-aging, it is cheaper to go the subscription route for many people. Also, a lot less hoops. If you have acne or medical issues with your skin, it is absolutely a good idea to go the medical route if that option is available to you.

@@TheBeautybound That's a good distinction to make. I once had a GP give me a prescription for Tazorac for my acne even though my insurance didn't cover it even with a prior authorization.

I don't know if you're capable of getting pimples, but how about slathering your face with vaseline or whatever breaks you out a few days before you see your GP. If it's just one pimple then freak out like it's the end of the world, and you might get your prescription. You could also say you just experienced a breakout, but it cleared up over the weekend and you don't want another. I'm kidding. But not really.

Yes your scalp is pH is approx 5.5..& the hair prob rests at around pH 4.5 - 5.5 itself - but that shampoo is "pH balanced" to be optimally effective for use, it must be "effective enough" to remove what it's meant to remove - & it undergoes rigorous tests - if it wasn't "suitable" for bleached hair - they wouldn't bottle the shampoo & sell it as part of that Olaplex system - & unless you've figured out a way to change the pH of the water you use to wash your hair in - ie make it "more acidic" - no ppl, don't go adding lemon juice to your rinse..🙈 (& hard water areas are worse than ever, re alkalinity) - you hv more to worry about with the water. (I would point out the the irony of ppl bleaching their hair blonde at a pH of (anybody's guess; certainly highly alkaline) - then deciding that a pH difference of about 0.5 is going to make a huge difference. (Suspect much of this is for the other brand's shampoo - to "get one over" olaplex - which is the industry standard💫 that evbdy else has copied - they hv decided to use influencer fronted pseudo science, to say "Oh, ours will be 0.5 pH different, so it's "better." bc your scalp is pH5.5 - so if your shampoo is between 5.8/6.2 - well ouf, that will damage it...(!)🙄Not really. Note that Olaplex shampoo, is optimally designed to use with its products, & is SLS/sulphates free💡- which rlly matters - but! - a co wash of a different kind may not remove everything it should, when shampooing 💡 & that's a) bad for your hair & b) any buildup will go a way to "ruin" a blonde shade, & 💡may stop the conditioner doing its job💡 but, most importantly, the Olaplex conditioner that you apply next - is pH 4.5 - 5.0; & so all will be well..💡 (Tbh, this is why none scientist) types shd not hv access to these stats - bc unless they're qualified to know what they're reading💡.. you know?!

honestly the hair oils and rice water comparison doesn’t make sense at all. the reason you may have experienced breakage could be due to the starch present in the rice water. oils have no starch, and changing 100% oil to a combination of different oils would probably do no difference at all since hair is dead tissue and has no reparative properties eg. you can’t expect much from hair products besides some silkiness and shine (this don’t apply to scalp, but scalp is skin, not hair).

Crystal stick deodorants have always been the best to control odor in my opinion, but everyone’s body chemistry is different. There’s also a BAD purging period when switching from antiperspirants to non-antiperspirants, usually around two weeks, but it can vary. You smell. You’ll sweat. Like NEVER before. Then *usually* (key word) one day you just stop (if you’ve found what works for you. I will say even now, sometimes my body says it needs a break from the Crystal / salt rock (never smelly, just not as great), then it starts working at optimal level.

Otherwise you can always try washing with just PanOxyl, or PanOxyl and Hibiclens (I buy the generic) from Walgreens. Both fight bacteria, so they’ll combat the nasties that create odor, and PanOxyl is Peroxide based, which helps with sweat. I’ve been using just these the past few days (adding Lumiere from online as backup), and I’ve had no odor or sweat. ❤️💛💙

I’m very open to trying “clean” beauty products, but I agree that sometimes brands use scare tactics that aren’t backed by good research. I have very sensitive skin and almost all of the products I’ve reacted to have been “clean.” I love that they work for many people, but I need products that are fragrance-free and more gentle. Thanks for keeping it real!

I hated the Cerave SA cleanser as well, it dried my skin and actually made me break out so I ended up using it as body wash. I’m surprised to see a those Olaplex products and also NARS, although I prefer their radiant longwear foundation to the soft matte one which looks too heavy and fake imo. I stopped buying the ordinary products this year, I have found other brands like face theory and more Japan and Korean beauty brands that I prefer

For people still wanting to avoid aluminum deodorants (not antiperspirants), I've tried a lot and I can vouch for the Kosas one. Shmidts, Tom's of Maine, Salt Rock, Each & Every, Little Seed Farm, Lume, etc. All those are just sort of like cover up air freshners for your pits. Whereas Kosas has low amounts of skincare acids that truly kill the smelly bacteria with no residue on your clothes in a convenient rollerball delivery system and a clear fragrance free option. Wait for a sale and try it. If you need an actual hard core anti perspirant, Certain Dri is where it's at. But I prefer to not do that for every day.

Both have a beautiful, skin-like finish but the combo gives such good coverage. Amazing really, particularly given how thin (in the good way) the formulas both are. Highly, highly recommend both products and am now just mad it took me until November to give in to the urge to try the serum foundation LOL.

I also no longer use Olaplex. noticed about three weeks ago my hair shedding like crazy and breaking very easily. I started using Olaplex about three months ago after going a little more blonde than I already was. Worked fine the first few weeks until I noticed what I mentioned before. Never had any breakage like this or hair loss in the shower or out of the brush. Ive had weft hair extensions and been silver before. No issues, with this before using Olaplex. I recently, a month ago had my normal follow up with my Dr. All labs were normal, including with hormones, etc. I don't take any medications and have no health issues. Only new thing introduced was the Olaplex. My hair stylist was even shocked this last time I went in for a tone at how much I was shedding and loosing while brushing my hair. She was thinking maybe the olaplex was adding to much protein or bonding my hair too much which was causing the breakage. I only wash my hair once a week because I have naturally really thick curly hair. Just started using Ouai and Im hoping the hair loss and breakage stops soon. My friend uses Olaplex with no issues, so it might just happen randomly depending on your hair texture, chemicals, etc.

I've learned to use structured soak-off gels (not hard gels) to extend a broken nail. If you are patient, you can remove with zero damage. I change my nail colour every few days, and paint over the gel and remove with nail polish remover, repaint, repeat. Mind, I avoid glitters and textured polishes over a gel extension because soaking the glitter off will cause the gel to lift. And definitely not gel polish! Although I don't buff off shine (which removes several layers of nail, so it's damaging), I can get these to last a few months (with fills) - by then my natural nail is long enough and perfectly healthy (I.e. the top layers aren't destroyed like you experienced). I've recently discovered a Japanese product that doesn't require buffing/removing the shine, so I'm going to give that a go as I used a lot of product learning to make an extension. You probably don't want to learn extensions, but you should be able to find a salon that does soak-off gel extensions. Tell them you want to use your own polish and they'll leave it clear or pink-natural. When it's time to ditch extension, you will need nail polish remover (pure acetone is faster, but don't feel you have to run out and purchase), cotton pads, tin foil, a cuticle pusher (I prefer wooden for this), and a rough grit nail file (I use 100/180, but whatever you have). File the top of your extensions, careful not to touch natural nail or skin, to rough it up and add more area for acetone to seep into. Soak cotton pad in acetone, place atop nail, and wrap with tin foil). Wait 10 minutes. Remove. Use cuticle pusher to gently push pieces off. The pieces will be like acetate paper. Don't force and resist the temptation to pull. You may want to use file again if you are sure you won't hitt natural nail. Soak cotton in acetone, yadda yadda yadda, rinse and repeat. I find I have to do three times.

Whatever causes that must be what causes my severe knots. I have very slight wavy hair but yet the density is low due to shedding and breakage, and it between fine and normal. No matter what conditioner, hair mask, or detangler that I use it still does this. It's just so weird!

I have to disagree on the switch from Curology. My curology formula is Tretinoin, azelaic acid, and niacinamide. I see no reason to pay more money for the same thing with agency, especially when a lot of derms suggest not using more than 3 actives at a time. Not to mention I just saw that Curology has a dark spot formula as well that can have hydroquinone in it, just like Agency but the Curology one is cheaper. Seems like a ploy to get older folks that are only interested to aging to pay more money for the same thing to me, which is really shady. At least that is my take.

Don't know Kerastase shampoo pH but it was very drying for my dry hair and scalp. The Kerastase conditioner is okay but needed a lot of product to get a result. Results significantly better with Olaplex. Hair feels smoother and has some shine. Also tried Pureology Strength and was also better than Kerastase. You can buy travel size samples of Olaplex and Pureology before buying a full size container. Both the Olaplex and Pureology shampoos only required a dime sized blob to suds up my head of super fine hair.

Thanks for the info about Agency, I use Curology now just for anti-aging so Agency might work better for me. Interestingly I started out using Apostrophe, but had a terrible experience with them. I was using them to get tretinoin, and one time they sent me my formula without the tret. I knew this because the color of the lotion was pure white and I could immediately tell my skin was “de-retinizing” (if you use tret you know what I mean). I even used it on my neck to make absolutely sure I was right (my neck can’t handle any tret whatsoever). Did that for two weeks and yep, it was just basic lotion. I contacted them and they refused to do anything for me, and said it was impossible for them to have made a mistake. So I was out 75 bucks for a useless lotion. That’s when I decided to switch to Curology, and I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with them.

You would wait an entire month to get your color changed on the acrylics?? You’re supposed to get them filled every 2 weeks so then you’re not dealing with too much re-growth. That may have been your issue with not liking how they look in the first place. Also, if you’re getting acrylic and not dip, and you really want to change the color ever week you can just remove the polish yourself and change it when a new week comes. However, as far as damage goes dip nails are better for your nails because of the ingredients they put in the powder. But I also understand cutting it cold turkey if it’s just but for you anymore.

You have such an authentic and warm personality that I can’t help but feel like I’m hanging with a friend! Thank you for the great content and for being you 🤗

I kiss the ground curology walks on. I’ve always struggled with acne prone skin, it was never severe but it caused years of struggle for me. My skin has never looked better than with curology. Is my skin perfect? No. But it’s the clearest and most consistent my skin has ever been. Don’t see myself ever switching!

Do you think the Amika styling tool is better?

Sooo agree with you about the nails. Took me 3 months to get my nails back to a healthy state. I take nourishing waves plus which is a liquid formula to support hair skin and nails. One teaspoon a day and I now have to cut my nails as they are so strong and healthy.

I used the remington dryer brush and I think it has completely and utterly broken my hair. Its broken right to the top. I don't know if they all do this x

Do you use a water filter on your shower? Because if you dont, using ph balanced shampoo is pointless. Unless the water that is touching your hair before the shampoo is ph balanced as well, theres just no point in using ph balanced hair products.

Okay, this question is for anyone. Please, please please respond! How do you know the PH on your shampoo or conditioner? What part of the ingredients list says that? 🤔 Thanks guys 👦

There was a time about 20 years ago (yes I’m old) when I got acrylic overlays every other week for about two years. I also love polish and would still change my polish every week. Of course this was long before color gels. I’ve been back to natural nails now and will never look back.

I got off the acrylic nail carousel too and it took over a year to get my nails healthy again. I never enjoyed the process and time I spent at the nail salon either, but the temptation to do it again is always there. I refer back to a picture I took of my ruined nails when I’m having a weak moment to remind me!

Deodorant is to help with smell.. not stop sweating. You don't want to put something under your armpits that block your pores

I just bought the Ordinary 100% Argan Oil 😭. I guess we’ll see how it goes. Also, yeah I had to drop the Olaplex Shampoo a couple months back. I think my scalp didn’t like it bc I would get flakes and also a lot of hair would come out (more than normal I feel). The Conditioner worked wonders on me though. I have to use a fragrance free shampoo now and it helps a lot.

Love you sm Abbey but one clarifying question: you said you stopped using the three oils because you didn't want 100% strength of one ingredient, and switched to an oil with mixed ingredients. Umm... If you're using 3 products... What you're putting on your hair is only 33% of each ingredient...? Which is analogous to a mix anyway? Am I missing something??

Molly Huber - yah, that's the exact logic that crossed my mind also. Mixing 3 different oils together...same as a 3 different premixed in a bottle🥴

I think she means mixed with other non-oil ingredients. I can no longer tolerate raw oils. They have to be mixed with other non-oil ingredients. It's the difference between using say lavender essentials oil, coconut oil mixed with lavender essential oil, lavender water and lavender soap.

Love your content! I was never a fan of the Olaplex shampoo…made my hair feel so weird & it was super sticky! Makes since with ph levels. I absolutely love their bonder #6 & #3 repair/strengthener!!! Still coming around for the number 8 leave in conditioner.Thank you so much for all the data/science back up on products! I tried the “natural” deodorant it did not cut it for me either…you gotta do what works for you :-) Conrads on going full time on KZitem can’t wait to see all your future videos this year!
