The Abbey Yung Method is a haircare breakthrough that went viral after a single TikTok video changed the game 🎥

The Abbey Yung Method is a hair care method that takes into account every step of your routine: from deep cleansing to gentle moisturizing between washes.

 The main goal of this method is to:

• Repair hair damage
• Reduce breakage and split ends
• Restore shine, softness, and elasticity 

In total, this method consists of 11 steps, some of which are optional, as our hair is different and requires different care. 

So, let's take a look at the 8 key steps that are most often used in daily care — let's get started 😌

The steps Abbey recommends before washing your hair

Step 1. Pre-Shampoo Repair Treatment is a product you put on 10–20 minutes before washing your hair to strengthen the inner structure of your hair, especially if it's damaged, with peptides and restorative active ingredients.   

• Peptide-132 Ultra Perfect Hair Bonding Treatment by COSRX is a creamy conditioner that intensely nourishes, restores the hair structure along its entire length, retains moisture, reduces brittleness and frizz, and restores smoothness, softness, and natural shine to the hair ✨
• Premium Hair Treatment from CP-1 is an intensive mask that deeply restores dry and damaged hair, fills in damaged areas, seals split ends, smoothes keratin scales, and, thanks to a complex of plant oils, restores softness, elasticity, healthy shine, and ease of combing to curls.
• Kundal's Protein Bonding Treatment Violet Muguet Restorative Conditioner for Damaged Hair is a restorative treatment that intensively strengthens dry and brittle hair, reduces frizz and breakage, deeply moisturizes, improves elasticity and structure, and restores softness, manageability, and healthy shine without weighing your hair down ✨

Step 2. Pre-Shampoo Oil Treatment is a step where oil is applied to the length or ends of the hair before washing to protect it from drying out, reduce breakage, and retain moisture during cleansing.

Sis, Abbey recommends this step only for those with very dry and damaged hair. If your hair is normal or oily, you can safely skip it 😌

•  CER-100 Hair Muscle Essence Oilby Elizavecca is a light, silky oil with plant extracts that intensively nourishes and moisturizes dry and damaged hair, protects the cuticle, and gives your strands smoothness and a healthy shine.

Basic washing: gentle hair cleansing

Step 3. Clarifying Shampoo (detox shampoo) - cleanses the hair and scalp of impurities, styling residue, and accumulated products, preparing the strands for further restoration and nourishment. Abbey Yung emphasizes that detox shampoos are best used no more than 1-2 times a week.

• Ginger Purifying Shampoo by CP-1 deeply cleanses the scalp, strengthens hair follicles, reduces hair loss, moisturizes and restores hair, making it manageable, elastic, and shiny, while soothing the skin and fighting dandruff thanks to ginger and propolis.

Step 4. Regular shampooing means washing your hair as often as your hair type requires.

There are no strict rules here — just comfort and cleanliness 😌

Step 5. Conditioner/Mask - this is the stage after shampooing, where the conditioner is responsible for basic nourishment and the mask is responsible for deep restoration and moisturizing.

Let's figure out whether your hair needs both products after washing: if your hair is dry and damaged, Abbey recommends adding both conditioner and mask to your routine. If your hair is normal, conditioner is often enough 😌
