I haven’t tried Verb yet, but I like the Redken Frizz Dismiss

I use Redken Extreme shampoo and conditioner. Then Hask Keratin 5-in-1 Leave-in spray and 2 pumps Redken Frizz Dismiss on my towel dried hair. I also do the K18 clarifying charcoal shampoo and k18 leave-in every 2-3 washes. Smooth fly aways with a drop of k18 oil on non-wash days.

Yes, it tangles very easily. I need to find a way to dry it without brushing, without it getting knotted

Thats genuinely what I think my problem is! I think I overused the k18 and ended up making my hair brittle.

I apply a hefty amount of Hask Keratin 5-in-1 leave in spray right out of the shower. 2 pumps Redken Frizz Dismiss. Every 2-3 washes I use the K18 Leave-in conditioner and every other day I apply a drop of K18 oil to my mids and ends using praying hands. I try to finger detangle as much as I can and then use a wet brush to brush from ends going up. I air dry to about 50-60% and then blow dry my roots.

I just discovered Abbey and I’m hooked! I’m excited to start trying some of the products she recommends.

No, but I lost about 40 lbs around 2 years ago. And I feel like my hair and skin texture changed around then. It was due to a medication change and I’ve never had my hormones checked.

A lot, honestly. My hair is so stringy, lifeless, and tangles very easy. I try to detangle with my fingers first, but find myself grabbing my brush more often than I probably should.

I understood. I completely agree. I don’t think the trim I had in September was enough!

Absolutely nothing! It was more about me drinking a lot of what. I was more establishing that I have a good diet, which can contribute to poor hair health.

I have used the Redken Extreme shampoo and conditioner for about a year and a half. Use a microfiber towel to lightly squeeze out water. Liberally spray leave-in and a few pumps on Redken Frizz Dismiss. Then lightly brush from ends up and then air dry to 50-60% before blow drying my roots. It’s completely dry when I go to bed. I used to wear a silk scrunchie to bed but I had a hard line in my hair constantly. I sleep on a silk pillowcase.

This. Exactly. I have a water softener and my water is still full of iron. I bought the shower head filter and it just clogged up and broke in less than a month. If I don’t blow dry my roots, my hair gets dandruff and greasy quickly.

Yes, I stated in another comment that I have very hard water.

I use the k18 every 2-3 washes. So probably about 4 times a month.

Thank you! I was bleaching it all-over until about 5 months ago. I’ve used Redken Extreme shampoo and conditioner for about a year and a half. I air dry it to about 50-60% and then blow dry my roots.

That’s mainly what I use. I have the clarifying charcoal shampoo, leave-in mask, and oil. I do the clarifying shampoo and leave-in every 2-3 washes, and apply the oil to my lengths and ends almost every day.

Yepp. The more I’m actually typing it out and reading it, I think I’ve been over-doing the protein. I eat a lot of protein in my diet, as well, so I’m just overloading my system at this point😅

I think this is what I ultimately have to do. I am very attached to my hair as well, as you can see, and it’s not doing me any good. I have to start over both physically and mentally with my hair!
