The Abby Yung Hair Method Step 2: Pre Shampoo Oil Treatments

The Abby Yung Hair Method Step 2: 

             Pre Shampoo  Oil Treatments

 

The purpose of this step is to protect your length and ends during the wash process. This was the first product that I started with in my healthy hair journey. I began with this oil because my hair is prone to breakage. What made me realized that my hair is prone to breakage is that I would get my hair trimmed every couple months. I would do this to get rid of split ends and as a refresher for my hair. I realized that my hair would grow but it would not grow past my shoulders. When I did a little bit of research ( Tiktok & Google LOL) I realized that my hair has been breaking off as fast as it was growing! I had already reduced the use of heat on my hair to 2 times a month. At 3 most. That's when I discovered I needed to focus on protecting my ends. I always used a heat protectant and I guess that wasn't enough. 

 

 

This step is crucial for hair that gets tangled, is super damaged or very dry. If you don't have any of these issues you can skip this step. Any silicone based oil will work for this step or something that contains coconut oil as well. These are the oils she recommends as a pre-wash treatment. 

 

 

The first one she recommends is the Coconut Miracle Oil Penetrating Oil. It has a very thick consistency so it might not work for all hair types.

 

I started with this oil for my hair because I feel like my hair is a bit on the thicker side.  I would start out by brushing my hair. I would put a small amount on my palm, rub my hands together then run it through my hair. I would then braid it and put a silk bonnet over before I go to bed. I have been doing this for the past couple of months. The change in my ends after starting this oil has been amazing! I have actually noticed that my ends have improved. Obviously split ends can't repaired. But I noticed that after cutting my hair and starting this oil mask was the best thing I did for my hair. You can easily see how soft my hair has gotten. And it improved the appearance of my hair.  

 

 

 There are 2 other OGX oils that you can use as alternatives that are coconut based and more lightweight. 

The first one is the OGX Nourishing + Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum Leave-In Hair Treatment. 

I did recently purchase this one and I loved it! After using it a couple of times I've noticed a significant reduction in breakage and frizz. I love that it is really light weight. It's very moisturizing and nourishing for the hair. It has had a huge impact on my ends since they are prone to breakage. They break off so easily which made me realize that my hair isn't growing. Since I started replacing all my hair product with what Abby recommends my ends have gotten so much stronger!  What I love about this product is that it's affordable, effective, and smells like coconut. It also makes your hair very shiny. 

The next one is the OGX Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist Lightweight Leave-In Hair Treatment.

 

 

                            

 I love that this oil works for all hair types. It does not weigh it down. It especially perfect for hair that is dry it is well absorbed. This oil always leaves my hair so shiny and soft. I always put some at the ends of my hair right before bed right before wash day. 

This oil should be applied 20 minutes before washing. They should be alternated between washes where a post bond treatment is being done.
