In this video, I’m clearing up the biggest misconceptions I keep seeing about The Abbey Yung Method—because these myths can genuinely change your results. First: you do not need to do all 11 steps to get great hair. I created 11 steps so you have options, not obligations. My wash days aren’t identical week to week—I like alternating steps and products depending on what my hair, scalp, budget, and time allow, and I’ve shared simplified routine examples so you can see what that flexibility actually looks like. Next, you don’t have to use two different shampoos every single wash day. Most of the time, I’ll use one shampoo twice. But if your scalp and hair have competing needs—like oily scalp + dry, damaged ends, or dandruff + hard water—then using two different shampoos in one wash can make sense (like deep cleaning followed by strengthening, or medicated plus chelating). And finally: you don’t need a conditioner, mask, and gloss every wash. I recommend at least one conditioning product per wash, and you can add a second only if it gives you better results—just keep in mind that piling on products can lead to heaviness and weigh-down.
