I have to change The Abbey Yung Method because I got confirmation that a few of my go-to recommendations have officially been discontinued—and I don’t want anyone wasting money hunting for products that aren’t coming back. First up: the entire Not Your Mother’s Tough Love collection (shampoo, conditioner, bonding treatment, and the leave-in/heat protectant). For the bonding step, the replacement is easy: Pantene Pro-V Vitamin E Essence, which I found after I originally made the method. For shampoo and conditioner, I’m adding both of the L’Oréal glossing systems. They’re not “bond repair” sets, but they do use strengthening technology, and strengthening damaged hair is the whole point of my method. I’m also seeing signs that Neutrogena Scalp Therapy Anti-Dandruff Shampoo may be on its way out (it’s disappearing from retailers and staying out of stock), which honestly lines up with something I’ve been wanting to do anyway: create a separate scalp-care category. Scalp care and hair retention are major concerns right now, and there have been some really solid launches—so I’m making room for a scalp serum category too. You don’t *need* a scalp serum in the method, but I know you want my science-backed picks, and now we finally have enough strong options to justify it. Finally, I’m still testing replacements for the discontinued L’Oréal EverPure blow dry primer, and I’m updating my dry aerosol heat protectant rankings based on my showdown: my top four are Living Proof, Oribe, and R+Co Bleu (with Kristin Ess being the best drugstore one I’ve tried so far, but not at the same level).
