Abbey Yung Method for Wavy Curly Hair — Here’s What I Changed

In this video, I’m trying the Abbey Yung Method again — this time with intentional modifications for wavy curly hair. I genuinely love the principles behind this method, especially the focus on conditioning, gentle techniques, and long-term hair care health. But since I wear my natural hair wavy/curly, I made a few adjustments to better support volume, curl clumping, and hold — without abandoning what makes the Abbey Yung Method so effective. This hair tutorial walks through my wavy curly take on the Abbey Yung Method, showing how I keep the integrity of the routine while adapting it for looser curl patterns. I’m sharing practical curly hair tips for anyone who wants to follow this method but still wear their hair wavy or curly on a daily basis. If you love the Abbey Yung Method but want to make it work for your wavy hair or curly hair, this video breaks down exactly how I do it — and why these tweaks matter. ________________________________✨✨___________________________________ Want to pick the right products for your hair every time? ✨Swavy Curly Confidence PRODUCT GUIDE✨ ➡ https://swavycurlycourtney.com/swavyc... ✨The Perfect Hair Care Towel✨ ➡ https://amzn.to/3UHKOK2 Overnight hair protection — https://www.bambonn.com/ The supplement that changed the game for me: ✨Make Wellness Fit✨ -- https://bit.ly/scc-makewellness ________________________________✨✨___________________________________ FREE WAVY CURLY STARTER KIT DOWNLOAD ➡ https://swavycurlycourtney.com/wavycu...
