Abbey Yung is well known on TikTok for creating the Abbey Yung Hair Method, a multi-step hair care process that took the internet by storm.
But the certified trichologist is also known for her dedication to finding drugstore hair care that works as effectively the high-end stuff.
The misconception that drugstore hair care only provides short-term results is "so not true," Abbey told E!. She doubled down on her claim by partnering with Pantene to craft an innovative cream-to-mist leave-in that combines the deep nourishment of a treatment with the ease of a spray.
And it's one of the many Abbey-recommended Pantene products on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
Abbey doesn't sugarcoat things, including her take on growing longer, stronger hair.
"I think I would level-set first with expectations because I think people who decide that they want to go on a hair growth journey are expecting immediate results," she shared. "But with the rate of hair growth, there is some patience required.”
Ultimately, she says hair growth is all about proper cleansing and protecting hair length as it grows.
When it comes to creating an effective hair growth routine, Abbey suggests three key elements: "I would say the minimal routine that's going to hit the products that I think are requirements for every single wash day is a shampoo that effectively cleans and an in-shower conditioning product. So that could be a conditioner or a mask, and then a post-wash leave-in spray that has heat protection added."

“I would say start with a shampoo, something like either my favorite, which is the Sheer Volume shampoo, or if you're really focused on improving scalp health and hair retention, then the Abundant & Strong shampoo is amazing as well.”
Abbey calls Pantene's Sheer Volume shampoo her "ride or die." It effectively cleanses hair without weighing it down, while also providing deep hydration and root-to-tip nourishment.
“For conditioner, you could either do the Miracle Rescue conditioner or the Miracle Rescue mask. They're similar in terms of benefits, but the conditioner is just a bit lighter.”
A good conditioner is a crucial step in the Abbey Yung hair method. She suggests Pantene's Miracle Rescue hair mask, which boasts a bond-building formula that intensely nourishes and helps protect length against damage.
If heavy hair products tend to weigh down your hair, Abbey suggests opting for the Miracle Rescue Deep conditioner instead. The benefits are similar, except this conditioner feels lighter, making it a great choice for those with hair that is easily weighed down.
“And then for your all in one leave-in, that is where you can go in with the Deep Nourishing Cream to Mist because you're getting your heat protection, your conditioning. It's going to help with detangling, everything that you kind of think of for a traditional leave-in. But then it's also going to give you the protection and repair”
Abbey created this innovative cream-to-mist leave-in spray in partnership with Pantene. She says, "It's going to help with detangling everything that you kind of think of for a traditional leave in. But then it's also going to give you the protection and repair."
"The Abundant & Strong serum is amazing. I use it every wash day," Abbey raves of her most repurchased Pantene product. Made with a pro-vitamin B5 complex and niacinamide, the daily serum strengthens hair from the root to reduce loss, breakage and shedding.
“I have for a very long time recommended the Miracle Rescue spray 10-in-1 as an amazing option for finer, thinner hair types," Abbey told E!. Formulated with pro-vitamin B5 and keratin, it repairs and protects against damage, delivers UV and heat protection, while smoothing hair and improving overall shine.
This three-piece set, which includes a shampoo, conditioner, and oil, takes the guesswork out of crafting the perfect hair care routine. Abbey recommends this combo "if you're really focused on improving scalp health and hair retention."
