1. Oil hair the night before. Uses OG coconut oil which contains silicone.
2. When she uses K18, she doesn’t oil the night before.
3. Uses a scalp treatment like one that has salicylic acid. Massage in.
4. Comb hair before shampooing it. Olivia garden styler brush ( the wet brush was out of stock at Ulta).
5. Use a hard water filter on shower head to prevent brass. Doesn’t use a purple shampoo.
6. Wet hair a lot.
7. Uses K18 shampoo that she was sent for their launch. They have a low ph, the lowest she’s ever seen.
8. Emulsify shampoo in hands.
9. Massage shampoo in sections.
10. Washes every 7 days.
11. When she uses K18, she doesn’t use a pre shampoo oil and uses a clarifying shampoo. Then towel dries hair before applying. Emulsify the product and scrunch it in from the bottom up. Leave for 4 mins.
12. Wet hair and apply conditioner.

My hair has been my biggest insecurity for the past few years. I deal with PCOS, and hair loss is one of the symptoms I have. My hair used to be so sleek, soft and shiny. Now it’s brittle and I have lost a lot of it. Coming across your channel has completely changed my hair. I’m incorporating as many tips as possible and it has become soft and shiny again. I cannot thank you enough. Your tips are not the only reason I watch. You seem like you wouldn’t judge anyone for their hair or skin issues. ❤️

Do you have a video on your “weekly hair routine”? Like the hairstyles and ways you refresh your hair throughout the week in-between washes?

[sharmileesukumar]

I had ignored my skin and hair after having a baby. I followed you for hair and Dr Dray for skin. You both have transformed me completely. ❤❤

I wash on Saturdays or Sundays. It depends on what I have going on that weekend. Our wash day routines are surprisingly similar given that I have type 4 hair (I have a silk press in my current profile pic). I just tried the K18 clarifying shampoo last night and loved it. The biggest difference in our routines is that I pre-poo on damp hair with a leave-in conditioner and an oil because my hair is coily and needs more than oil to get through it with a comb or brush. I also keep my hair sectioned and in twists while I wash so it doesn't tangle again. I untwist the section I'm washing or putting product in and twist it back up during each step of wash day.

What? No leave in conditioner at the end? You’re the best and you have motivated me to take the time once a week to follow this routine (plus the Pureology Color Fanatic leave in). I’m 62 and my hair is in the best condition of my life and at least 6 inches longer than I could ever grow it before. I get compliments on it frequently…you are never too old and it’s never too late to have long beautiful hair!!!

Abbey, I LOVE your videos! You are truly one of the most talented content creators on YouTube. I have changed to washing my hair once a week and have incorporated all of your wash day guidance. It has transformed my hair. I have shared you with all of my friends too. Keep these videos coming!! ❤️

[rosannabules]

Can you share an updated wash day routine, including what you do between washes and pre-wash day prep steps? 😀

[kathystclair]

I love your videos. To learn that sulfates and silicones are not evil has been an eye opener. It blows my mind when I see all the comments where people only wash their hair once a week. I am 66 and have always had an oily scalp. It was horrible going through school and my mother would only let us wash our hair once a week. My scalp and hair by then, was so oily she would put cornstarch into the roots and rub it in like you would dry shampoo. (Good thing I was a blonde). As an adult I tried going every 3rd day and when I had my dermatologist appointment, she noticed I had sebum buildup which can clog the follicles and therefore lead to hair loss. She said if you have an oily scalp you have to wash your hair every day! I comprised and have gone every other day, but when that day comes, the scalp is already oily. I cleanse my scalp well and only apply conditioner to mids and ends. Love your routine and keep up the great videos.

A shower filter showdown would be so informative to watch. I bought a 15 stage shower filter from Amazon and I don't think it did anything for my hair. I have recently purchased a Jolie filter which retails for $140. Haven't tried it yet, but fingers crossed it works. Had no idea that the one you use is so affordable and efficient!

I love washing my hair on Mondays after hot yoga. The heat and humidity are fantastic with the oils and scalp treatment. It is also laundry day so I feel like I am accomplishing a non personal task.

[amyhill]

Loved this video! Since you only wash once a week, it would be great if you could do a video showing us how you style your hair each day in between and what products you use on what days. I usually give up and wash by day 3 or 4 because I just don’t know what to do with my hair. 🤷‍♀️

[mrsaguas]

I have followed your wash day routine and my hair always feels so amazing for several days after wash day. I have learned many wonderful things from you about hair and everything else beauty related. I have tried many of the products you suggest and I just want to say thank you for all of your hard work and research as well as the willingness to share with all of us here. Thank you Abbey, and I pray for you often 💜

[squidney]

Thank you for filming this Abbey! I remember you saying filming your last wash day routine was a pain in the butt as far as camera logistics go, really appreciate you going through all that trouble again!

[Brittany-ydip]

Just did the k18 mask put in ends and half way up only, left in 4 min, then added the cer-100 then left in 10, then rinsed then towel dried, then added in my amika soul food mask and omg such a huge difference!! Hair was very bad after getting it bleached and colored I've never seen so much breakage. K18 worth allll the money too! 🥰 Thanks abbey for telling us all the info and the fact you contacted k18 so that we are able to still use conditioner as well.

[rachaelanthony]

I used to wash my hair every day or every other day for 26 years of my life until I found your channel and followed your tips 😊 Now I’m able to wash it once a week and it’s grown so much in only 8 months. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge 🙌🏼

[UniversalGirl]

I am African American with "4c" hair however it acts loose curl - straight hair. oily scalp within 2 days. found you almost a year ago and many of your suggestions have really helped me.

[Amypeteritis]

Hey Abbey! Could we possibly have an updated video of how you style your hair each day? I'm trying to convince myself to only wash my hair once per week, but I get really lost on what the heck to do with my hair between washes (especially when I'm working out 3-5 days per week!)

[KaKesFantasticO]

I have fine thin hair and probably androgenetic alopecia. As I get older I hadn’t been able to grow it past my shoulders because it would get so dry and brittle. I’ve made several changes, most are your tips. As of now my hair is almost bra strap length!!! It’s still thinning but the ends are so healthy, and shiny!!

[anon-mxjx]

I have to wash every other day because I have PCOS which makes my hair extremely oily. So for the health of my scalp I try to keep it clean as much as I can even though it damages my hair. Every two days seems to be the sweet spot, more often leads to irritation and less often leads to irritation as well. I also like to have salicylic acid in my shampoo to help with cleaning the pores as I tend to get bumps and sores from the excessive oiliness.
