In this video, I’m basically giving you my “Abbey Yung Method” shampoo cheat sheet—because you really shouldn’t just copy my shampoo picks without matching them to your scalp + hair type. I break down the textures and cleanse levels of my top high-end options (Kérastase/Redken/Pureology vibes) and explain why they can feel a bit heavier overall: they’re doing that mild-to-moderate cleanse while also packing in conditioning. If you have a normal-to-dry scalp, or you like using a more reparative conditioning shampoo after a deeper-cleaning shampoo, these are the kinds of formulas that make your hair feel more manageable. Then I get into my drugstore favorites, which is where a lot of people will be happier—especially if you have fine/thin hair, oily roots, or you just don’t want to splurge. I call out Garnier Hair Filler Strength Repair as the only truly residue-free option here (and it gives me the deepest clean), then compare Dove Intensive Repair vs Dove Bond Strength based on how conditioning/heavy they feel. And if Dove’s smoothing is too flattening for you, I walk through the L’Oréal options (Elvive Glycolic Gloss, EverPure Glossing, EverPure Bond Repair) so you can choose based on whether you want lighter volume, extra silkiness, or more damage repair.
