The hair enthusiast, who is known as on TikTok, first started off by holding her hair in a clip at the top of her hair to allow her hair to fall in front of her face - almost like a pony tail but at the front of her head.
She then got the Bondi Boost Airstyler, which looked similar to a Dyson airwrap but rather than costing £400 it costs £175, and separated her hair into sections before using the tool to style her hair.
Abigail then used a soft brush to brush her hair out before getting a heatless curling tool by Overnight Blowout, and cost £30 for four velvet rods, and wrapping her hair around it.
She clips it in, and goes to sleep wearing the rod in her hair before then waking up the next day and letting her hair down.

Tea Tree Oil is another beneficial ingredient to consider. It's antibacterial, antifungal, and an antioxidant, all of which help reduce scalp inflammation

As the colder months approach, experts are cautioning that sudden temperature changes could lead to an increase in dandruff for many of us.
According to hair care specialists at Head & Shoulders, the phenomenon known as "winter stress" can trigger hormonal fluctuations within your body.
These changes can affect your oil production, making dandruff more common during the winter season.
I've had my fair share of scalp issues, from persistent flakes that seem impossible to banish to oily roots and greasy skin.

As the temperatures drop, I've noticed an almost constant itch that I have to resist scratching, not to mention the embarrassing flakes that end up on my dark clothing.
What I didn't realise was that some anti-dandruff products on the market might actually be making things worse.
Stephanie Sey, a Trichologist for Nizoral, previously revealed to Fabulous: "There are some cosmetic 'anti-dandruff' products out there that do not treat the root cause of dandruff.
"This can result in a frustrating 'stop-start cycle,' leaving sufferers feeling helpless and exasperated.
Excellent alternatives
"When it comes to treating dandruff, it's essential to target the overgrowth of yeast on the scalp, as this is what leads to flare-ups.
“Ingredients like Piroctone Olamine and Selenium Sulphide are effective antifungals found in many anti-dandruff shampoos.
“They are excellent alternatives for those who don't respond well to 'azole' antifungals.
"Tea Tree Oil is another beneficial ingredient to consider. It's antibacterial, antifungal, and an antioxidant, all of which help reduce scalp inflammation.

The 4 stages of the hair growth cycle
Hair experts at Philip Kingsley shared the four stages of the hair growtn cycle are: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen and Exogen
Anagen Phase: Also known as the ‘Growth Phase’ or ‘Active Phase’, is when the cells in the root of your hair are most rapidly dividing so more new hair is formed.
During the Anagen Phase, hair grows around half an inch a month [about six inches a year], and faster in the summer than in winter.
This phase of the hair growth cycle lasts an average of three to five years.
Catagen Phase: Following the Anagen Phase, your hair cycle enters a short transitional phase known as the Catagen Phase, which signals the end of active hair growth and cuts individual hairs off from the blood supply and from the cells that produce new hair.
Approximately three percent of all hairs are in this stage at any time and it lasts for around 10 days.
Telogen Phase: The third stage of your natural hair growth cycle is the Telogen Phase, a resting period when strands remain in their follicles but are not actively growing.
An estimate of 10-15 percent of your hairs are in the Telogen Phase at any given moment.
The Telogen Phase lasts around three months or 100 days.
Exogen Phase: The final stage of the Hair Growth Cycle, when individual hair strands are released from their follicles and fall out.
Now the whole process begins again.
