The Abby Yung Method Step 5: Bond Repair Treatments 

Bond Repair treatments are usually hair products that are designed to strengthen and repair hair from the inside out. These products are highly recommended for hair that is prone to breakage. The first one that Abby recommends is the K18. Even though the directions say to use this after shampoo and to not rinse out. It can be used it as pre shampoo treatment. This treatment is the most expensive one on the list.  


1.) K18: Leave-in Molecular Repair Hair Mask ($75)

I have not tried this one personally yet because of the price. I feel like it would be a risk to try and it not work out for me. IF I ever do get the chance to try it out, I will update my blog and make sure to leave a detailed review.

 

 2.) L'Oreal Paris Sulfate Free Bond Repair Pre Shampoo Treatment ($10)


 

My hair is a lot smoother and easier to manage right after using. However, the real results came with CONSISTENT use after a couple of months. I've noticed that my hair is a lot more resistant to breakage and heat damage. I do have to use a ton of product, so I go through a bottle every two weeks. Use this after shampoo so that it penetrates well, and then follow up with your conditioner/hair mask. 

 

 

3.) Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Treatment ($34) 

 


I have purchased many different type of hair products and most don't really live up to the hype. This is one product that absolutely does! I know it's a "pre-shampoo" treatment, but I find it works best after shampooing and before conditioning..I have fine hair and my ends were dry. Now, my hair is not heavily damaged. I use heat protection and a little bit of hair oil before I straighten my hair. M yhair was left smooth and shiny. It really does work. If you have a lot of damage, give it sometime to notice the difference.

                  4.) Garnier Fructis Hair Filler Bonding Treatment With Bond Repair ($7) 

 

 

 

This isn't a true bond builder but it does contain hyaluronic acid and some silicones to strengthen the hair. It is an affordable option and I think you get a lot of product for what you pay. It smells like a drugstore brand, not that great but this is a pre shampoo product and that shouldn't matter too much. It has a conditioner like texture. Just wet your hair and leave it in for 5 minutes. You can also leave it in a little longer and it will not hurt your hair.  I feel like there is better options to help with bond repair. 

 

 

5.) Not Your Mother's Tough Love - Instance Bonding Treatment ($12) 


 


I have not used this product yet but I've heard amazing reviews about this brand especially for curly hair. I am going to be purchasing this later this month to test it and see how well it works for curly hair.


6.) OGX Bond Protein Repair Pre-Shampoo ($13) 



This product has helped save my hair. Great value for a bit product. My hair went from limp and stringy to healthy looking and manage able. This is the most useful for those of us with thin, fine, damaged brittle hair that are holding on to our hair for dear life. This pre-shampoo is so incredibly useful for any part of our hair that is prone to breakage, a life saver. I put this on my ends, end of bangs, and keep it on for ten minutes before I shower. This product makes my hair soft, workable, flexible and shiny.

The Abby Young Hair Method Step 1: Pre-Shampoo Bond Repair Treatment

I've been someone who has always wanted long and healthy hair.  Recently I have been working on taking care of my hair and growing it out. I feel like my hair has been very difficult ever since I was a kid. I think I assumed this because it is curly and I always wanted it to be straight. I thought because it wasn't straight it was damaged. When I discovered a straightener I thought all my problems were solved. WRONG! Fast forward to 2025, I'm working on a hair healthy journey. The first steps I took on this journey is cutting down heat on my hair, deep oiling my hair and taking vitamins. After that I discovered the Abby Young hair method. I started buying some of of the products she recommend.   To discover which products work best with your hair, you would have to kinda test each one out. Aim for products that you think your hair needs. For example if your hair is dry and brittle, you would use a product that focuses on moisture and hydration. Anyways, I would start by f...

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 st...

The Abby Yung Method Step 3: Clarifying Shampoo

  The next step of Abby Yung's hair method is clarifying shampoo. Most scalp issues can be solved by using deep cleaning shampoos. It is recommended to use it at-least once a week. It is also okay to use every single wash if your hair needs it.  The first step is figuring out which type of clarifying shampoo is needed. For some brands clarifying could be just removing hard water deposits. Other brands focus on cleaning an oily scalp or cleaning up residue.  To find out what works best for you is to try different kinds and see what suits your hair/scalp needs.  For normal to dry scalps these are the ones she recommends: 1) L'Oreal Metal Detox ($37-46)  The issue that I've always had with my hair is it breaking off like crazy, and wouldn't (or couldn't) grow fast enough to make up for it, anyway my hair was color treated.  I have medium-length, curly frizzy hair which tends to be dry  This shampoo  leaves my hair feeling clean, soft, and lightweigh...
