Mel, I have been watching your videos for a couple of years. I have thick curly hair similar to yours. I am 34 and I always wore it straight until 2 years ago, when I started wearing it natural. After watching your videos and following your advice my hair grew exponentially, it was beautiful and healthy. Just as I started loving my curly hair I was diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer. I went through many different treatments for a year and a half and I lost all of my hair. I finished treatment, cancer free, 2 months ago. My hair is coming back very curly and hard to manage. I started watching you again. I have bought most of your recommended products and I am following your routines. It has changed my world post cancer. It is helping my hair grow back and look nice and healthy while it grows back out. I watched your video last week where you were questioning your career choice. Please know that your making a difference in people’s lives in a way you may never know. You have helped me when my confidence was at its lowest. You are very knowledgeable, vibrant, and helpful. Thank you for helping all the curly girls find confidence in their curls 👏🏻 That has been on my heart to say I hope it gives you a wide perspective of the difference your making. 🙏🏻
I so needed this updated refresher video! Love my Dyson too! It also has bumps & chips in it from years of use! Sometimes my hair gets snagged in the chips (which wouldn’t happen had I been following your hover method correctly 🥰).
You're a goddess! And a hoot! I'm 61 and still learning about my hair. You're a joy to watch, and how you explain the products and methods and results are simple. I am sharing your videos on FB.
It never ends. I am 45, almost 46, and am just getting my hair somewhat figured out. Right at the same time I’m getting more gray hair that has a tighter and different curl pattern.
I keep looking at my grays hair and saying who are you? Why will you not clump with the rest? What is your malfunction? I’m getting it dyed and having a gloss put on it soon. I’ll worry about it later.
I'm a wavy to curly girl over 50 with very long, mostly natrual gray hair and what's left of colored hair towards the bottom, and I've been watching Mel's videos since the pandemic. And I've half-assed her and other's suggestions on my hair. I know Mel knows what she's talking about, but I get lazy with my hair. I also get into a rush and want it done and dry NOW. I hate air drying because it takes hours, and I also wash more frequently than I should because of summer heat and menopausal night sweats. This morning I made a pointed effort to do things the "right" way after watching this late last night. I also don't own a Dyson and never will due to the cost, and use drug store products that I can afford. I have a decent dryer I got on Amazon along with a diffuser. I started with the detangling in the shower and applied my leave in and gel to sopping wet hair. Scrunched with a t shirt. After a few minutes I went in with my dryer using the techniques above, and I'm having the best curly day ever, with little to no tangles in my length. I was literally going to cut off about three inches of hair. Even my wirey grays are behaving as best they can. And it didn't really take any longer than when I rough dry my hair and finish it with a warm flat iron or curling wand. Bottom line, if you're like me and you've watched her videos, use her information! If she can take the time to make them, we can take the time to do our hair the right way!! Thanks Mel 🌹
This is true. Yes it would be nice to have all the fancy equipment and expensive products but you can get pretty much the same results (curliness level of your own) using drug store, and non terry towel to plop and any diffuser using her methods and recommendations.
I recently started seeing a curly trained stylist. She gets MUCH more definition at the root when diffusing. I have super fine curly hair and I asked her what she was doing. Instead of pushing the hair to the root and holding the diffuser for a few seconds, she picks up the hair gently and places the hair in the diffuser off the head a little. I know you are “hands off” but since I have been doing that I have more definition and less frizz at my roots!
I had my collarbone length-hair cut in long layers. I use a hard hold mouse at the crown and use the comb_pick attachment at the top and crown using lowest heat and medium air settings and then use the cold-shot to set for curls and great volume!!! Love my Dyson 🥰
Dude…I never thought about back combing my roots. That is SO smart. Tomorrow is my wash day and I’m VERY excited to try this! Also, I adore you, your seester, and your channel. I have psycho non porous, dense, thick, very dry 2b-3c (yes, every single one of those patterns) hair and before I found you, I couldn’t get it under control. Now I get compliments everywhere I go. Thank you, curl mom!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I like my dyson but I prefer a bigger diffuser bowl with longer teeth to get to my roots without squishing the curls and dry more of my hair faster, sooo… I ordered an extra concentrator attachment from dyson, then had my husband cut the magnet part and high heat glue it to my Black Orchid diffuser. I’m in love. Best of both worlds.
Literally LIFE CHANGING! I just stumbled upon these videos and I am now a forver fan! I've DESPISED my curly hair all my life because it never looked defined and always came out frizzy. I did the whole routine with the products and the hovering with the dryer and have achieved LOVE for my hair! FINALLY! Thank you Mell & Amanda!
Hiya! Just wanna thank you, Mama Mel, for not only helping me with my curls, but for doing it in such a sweet, high energy way! You always cheer me up! Bless ya! .... Sadly, back in 2019, i lost my beloved hubby, Tony, to cancer, which led to me losing 80% of my hair. Three years later, i am half way to my disired length again, thanks to me wearing hair pieces and getting regular trims. I wish you well Mel, and please do keep up the good work! I have become a huge fan of yours! Once again, Thank you! xxxxxxx
Wow, I really hope she sees this. What a sweet comment, and what a journey you've been on in life... I'm sorry for your loss, and I admire your strength and kindness so much. Congratulations on making so much progress on your hair goals. 💞💞 I hope you're having a lovely week.
I've owned a Dyson for the past 9 months and today was the first time my hair actually looks frizz free and perfect! This video truly helped me to learn to diffuse. You're the best Mel !!! 🥰❤
i’ve been following you for so long and i grew my hair all the way down to my waist!!! BUT!!! i recently got a bad haircut and they cut off 7 inches. I’ve finally stopped crying about it, but now i get to start all over again!!! can’t wait to see how much length i get. but the elongating tip really helps!!! love you mel!!!
Tip and trick that I do is to use a rotating space heater. I sit at my vanity while it sits behind me on top of a folding table and let it do it’s thing. First I start in the back for 15 minutes, then both sides and last I’ll move my hair by doing the swaying technique. There is no crunch afterwards. It’s just shiny supple curls.
The Infiniti pro by con air works well for me and it’s only like $35 on Amazon. For those of you who are saying you can’t afford a Dyson. You just need a diffuser, and this one comes with one too! Just be mindful of the heat settings. Don’t use the hottest setting. I usually use warm and cool. It takes a bit longer of course but my hair is healthier for it ☺️
Love love love this! Had no idea I was using my diffuser wrong until now. I don’t have the penultimate Dyson but a knockoff that so far works very well. I’ve been natural since 2006 and struggle often to get my curly coils to do something, anything other than frizz. You are a lifesaver Mell! P.S. would you consider doing a vid on working with greying hairs and how to care for curls as the wirery one take over?
Not a vid, but I had a really tough problem with this. At night I use metal root clips to teach my hair to go up. I use Boldify Root Spray in my roots and for root volume and root wave definition, I use a 4 prong Spriggle pick and stick it straight in my hair scrunching in and then lifting the root while hover diffusing (a little like back combing without the combing part). This works really, really well. It's like hands free scrunching your hair. You get no frizz though because you aren't disrupting the cuticle or curls and waves. Also dries your roots fast.
Love this! To elongate my curls, I hover diffuse for definition and then put the concentrator attachment on and blow it on my roots while holding the ends. Then I pick it out (with a regular pick, not the attachment) for volume! I do use the comb attachment to blowout my hair before flatironing and it’s AWESOME
Thank you so much for this video! My hubby gifted me a dyson with these attachments for my birthday and was a bit overwhelmed on how to use them lol I'm ready to diffuse!
I love that there are options! Because you know with different curls you may need to experiment to see what works and some days you want a slightly different look. Finally wearing my hair wavy after straightening it for 20 years! I think I'm 2b/2c but its nice to not always feel I need to have it look uniform and perfect.
Thank you Mel, I have learned so much from you! I am being successful in my curly hair journey thanks to you! I definitely need to get the comb attachment for my dyson! I already follow your hover technique, I have fine hair so I love and appreciate the volume techniques!
I don't do it for elongation, but for root volume and root wave definition. I use a 4 prong Spriggle pick and stick it straight in my hair scrunching in and then lifting the root while hover diffusing (a little like back combing without the combing part). This works really, really well. It's like hands free scrunching your hair. You get no frizz though because you aren't disrupting the cuticle or curls and waves. Also dries your roots fast. Please review Virtue labs curl line with either their mousse, AG mousse Gel, or Gel over the Curl Whip cream (you may get away with just the curl whip). It uses ethically sourced human hair keratin that bonds to your hair to repair damage and add fullness. The curl line & mousses are the only dimethicone free but OMG this is AMAZING STUFF. They are working on a gel at consumer request.
I am so happy I can across this video. I will be referring back to it whenever I blow dry/diffuse my hair. It’s not often. I usually let it air dry or plop it, but while I love waking up with styled hair, it does sometimes have varying results as my curl pattern can get wonky. Although I live that it’s not frizzy doing it that way. I’m definitely going to try back combining it at the root to see if I can achieve a little volume there.
No regrets in my purchase of the Dyson. Got mine at Ulta which included the diffuser. May have to pick up the comb attachment. Thanks Mel for upping my curly hair game. 💟💗💖💝
Hahahahaha your videos are always super helpful and informational but man if people dare to leave before the bloopers at the end, they are missing EEEEEVERYTHING!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey girl hey.. I have just come across your amazing self and I loaded up on some products that you suggest for my kind of thick curly hair and am so freaking excited to try them! I am on a mission to save my natural curly hair that I have surly f*d up over the years.... so thank you gurrlll ❤
Suggestion for a video - your top 5 favorites, in all categories for example,shampoo, clarifying shampoo, conditioner, leave in, gel, etc. just starting out and watching your video's and find it very confusing on what I should get in each category. Maybe a video on your drug store fav and your high end favorites. Also, I watched a video from 2019 about why I shouldn't use my hands during the drying process! Thanks!
This video just changed my hair game. I got the wide-tooth comb attachment for free with purchase of the dryer and was afraid of how to use it. The back-comb method was a great finishing technique, as my roots tend to get lazy with the downward diffusing method. Absolutely love my hair tonight! #thebiggathehairthehardertheystare
I have been here since maybe your 4th or 5th video. It’s been amazing seeing your channel grow. Plus my hair loves all your tips! After all these years I think it’s finally time I bought the Dyson diffuser
Ahh, the perfect lunch break video! My hair is so thick and long that it takes me an hour to diffuse. So I do it about once a year! But maybe these tips will help me do it faster? Thanks Mell and Amanda!
I like definition/volume mix. So I hover diffuse and scrunch diffuse.Using a very hard hold gel to prevent frizz. I don't SOTC all the way. Just a little for some softness and movement. My curls last forever w/frizz by the cast naturally dissappering day by day. Today not doing any hair routine because I live in southeast GA and wet,rainy,windy tropical storm Elsa is on her way! Lol so back in a low soft ponytail today.
I like my hair best with curl cream but it only lasts one day if I dont use some sort of spray. Looking for a non crunchy hair spray Frizz Ease works well but is still more crunchy than I'd like.
I didn't wash my hair Sunday so here I'm sitting on the bed while the treatment does the job and ready to apply this new technique. Thanks teacher Mell ❤U Update: no frizzy hair for me today
Just in time... I legit just bought a hairdryer...with diffuser...first one of my life after watching other vids. Until now hairdryer meant frizz...NOW I know why. Cant wait until my undercut grows out too and see just how a full head of bounce is gonna look now I know what to do, and what not to. Thanks Mel, so much!
Yup, as a more wavy gal, when I use the dryer, I prefer volume & definition. :) With the heat wave we've had here recently, I have chosen air dry & not going outside longer than needed, but yeah. :)
Ahhh this video was so helpful!!! Would you ever consider doing some more “protective” styling videos??? I’m not confident when leaving my curls down but don’t want to do some of the tight styles that stretch my curls! Thanks! ❤️
Love your channel and your website! And you are so entertaining and funny while at the same time being so very informative! Comment and a question. Comment: Not everyone can afford the Dyson much as we might like. Can you please recommend other hair dryers or maybe even to a review video of a bunch of dryers you consider good.
My ends have been very wonky lately and I’m pretty sure it’s because I’ve been using my Dyson on medium/high heat when cupping. Gonna start lowering my settings. Thank you!!
I had my collarbone length-hair cut in long layers. I use a hard hold mouse at the crown and use the comb_pick attachment at the top and crown using lowest heat and medium air settings and then use the cold-shot to set for curls and great volume!!! Love my Dyson 🥰
Thanks Mell, I’m still getting used to my ‘wash n go’ 😅. Can’t wait to get my own Dyson, hoping to spoil myself at Christmas 😊 Update: my fav technique is the hover one for definition then because my hair is so thick, I use the pick to dry and lift my roots. Loving my results, thanks so much Mell 😍
Aaaaaaall your videos BLOW ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Never a dull moment with you, Mell. Your so funny AND inteligent...WHAT A COMBINATION!! Congrats my friend, your one special person! Thank you for being here at UTube, making me laugh and teaching me at the same time. GODSEND ❤ P.S. I HAD to come back in... you almost gave me a heart attack by laughing so hard with thouse "bloopers" today. Lactating? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 from there it was just laugh, laugh, laugh. You are really something, girl! Your the best thing that ever happened to UTube! 💜
I never thought to use a wide tooth comb and the diffuser to elongate the hair. Hopefully it works out well for me. I hate the scrunching one because I’m already type 4 and I don’t want my hair shrunken completely to my scalp 😂
I just bought a new hair dryer that has a diffuser attachment. Can't wait to start trying it out; i really need some help with my curly but very thin and fine hair.
Mell could u PLEASEEE do a video of finding a more affordable Dyson? I really want a Dyson but can’t really afford it so wondering if u can do that video for us?
You might want to look into buying a refurbished Dyson, of if that's still too expensive you might want to think about purchasing a Shark dryer. I've been looking at reviews for myself and the Shark seems to be pretty comparable and less expensive than the Dyson, but it's newer and not as popular so it doesn't have as many attachments.
Sometimes you can do split payments on those items look into smaller payments each month if you really want the dyson because that’s my plan I’m pretty sure they do financing. Hope this helps!
I am a middle-aged lady with a huge pile of 3b hair that stays wet for a long time so I have always had nice dryers -- Babyliss, Solano, Elchim, Chi. When Dyson came out, I was like NFW that's too much but let's see. I made several trips to the Bed Bath & Beyond to dry my hair with their Dyson display. I was not impressed (but the store employees & guests always were lol). In 2021, I was looking for a travel dryer, small, delicious. I splurged bought the T3 FIT micro & it is the best dryer I have ever owned. Ever. It's still a kind of spendy dryer but tbh I stopped using my Chi Touch 2 lol so it's not just a travel dryer anymore. Good luck.
Mell & Amanda would love the opportunity to see you professionally , since moving across country from my beloved hairdresser/great friend , I’ve unfortunately not have had the opportunity in establishing 2 precious gems as you both that gives off professionally vibes along with sincerity such as you dolls! 💇🏼♀️💇🏼♀️ trying to establish trust/ within communicating to achieve a successful hair day daily will be priceless ! Thank you, Ladies 💜🦋

I dropped my Dyson hairdryer on my foot today. Wasn't a fun experience, but still the best hairdryer I've ever used!!!
Lol,hope ur doin finee😆
Oops I dropped my big shampoo on mine
I mean if Rihanna says it it has to be true
I’ve don’t that with my Dyson diffuser! It hurt! I can’t imagine doing it with the hairdryer - ouch!
I so needed this updated refresher video!
Love my Dyson too! It also has bumps & chips in it from years of use! Sometimes my hair gets snagged in the chips (which wouldn’t happen had I been following your hover method correctly 🥰).

What? Dyson sponsored this video and they couldn’t gave her a discount code for her subscribers?! Rude.
Seriously! I went straight to the description looking for it too!
😆
They could of actually sent her a new dryer for all the years she has on that one.
Dyson is greedy af
@@Plushiecandie their products ain’t crap…
Hiya! Just wanna thank you, Mama Mel, for not only helping me with my curls, but for doing it in such a sweet, high energy way! You always cheer me up! Bless ya! .... Sadly, back in 2019, i lost my beloved hubby, Tony, to cancer, which led to me losing 80% of my hair. Three years later, i am half way to my disired length again, thanks to me wearing hair pieces and getting regular trims. I wish you well Mel, and please do keep up the good work! I have become a huge fan of yours! Once again, Thank you! xxxxxxx
Wow, I really hope she sees this. What a sweet comment, and what a journey you've been on in life... I'm sorry for your loss, and I admire your strength and kindness so much. Congratulations on making so much progress on your hair goals. 💞💞 I hope you're having a lovely week.
Happy texture tuesday ♥️🎉
Happy texture tuesday Erin!!♥️♥️♥️
I've owned a Dyson for the past 9 months and today was the first time my hair actually looks frizz free and perfect! This video truly helped me to learn to diffuse. You're the best Mel !!! 🥰❤
Your hair color right now is so nice! The darkness around your eyes offers a really beautiful contrast!
Being informed and entertained at the same time.. my little me time. 🥰
Happy texture Tuesday!
i’ve been following you for so long and i grew my hair all the way down to my waist!!! BUT!!! i recently got a bad haircut and they cut off 7 inches.

Mel, you inspired me to get a dyson a few weeks ago and it has CHANGED THE GAME!
3 years ago the hover diffusing technique changed the game for me and the Dyson is amazing. Recommend to all that can buy it!
Just started my curly hair journey I’ve learned so much from you so far thank you! I do also have a headache from it🤪
Not a vid, but I had a really tough problem with this. At night I use metal root clips to teach my hair to go up.
I use Boldify Root Spray in my roots and
for root volume and root wave definition, I use a 4 prong Spriggle pick and stick it straight in my hair scrunching in and then lifting the root while hover diffusing (a little like back combing without the combing part). This works really, really well. It's like hands free scrunching your hair. You get no frizz though because you aren't disrupting the cuticle or curls and waves. Also dries your roots fast.

I do use the comb attachment to blowout my hair before flatironing and it’s AWESOME
“Hi I’m Mell, your curl mom” 😂❤️ It’s totally true!
This is amazing because my mom has straight hair, and I get my curly hair from my aunt who lives in a different country ❤❤
OMG SAME 😂❤
Thank you so much for this video! My hubby gifted me a dyson with these attachments for my birthday and was a bit overwhelmed on how to use them lol I'm ready to diffuse!
I love that there are options! Because you know with different curls you may need to experiment to see what works and some days you want a slightly different look.
Finally wearing my hair wavy after straightening it for 20 years! I think I'm 2b/2c but its nice to not always feel I need to have it look uniform and perfect.
I don't know what I would have done with my hair without you 😭. You are a treasure 💕
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think to myself, I need a Dyson supersonic,
Thank you Mel, I have learned so much from you! I am being successful in my curly hair journey thanks to you! I definitely need to get the comb attachment for my dyson! I already follow your hover technique, I have fine hair so I love and appreciate the volume techniques!
This is why I always try to save wash day for Tuesday 😎 Thank you Mel!

same girl! I got it last summer after seeing how good Mels results were

Always here for the bloopers 😆

The back-comb method was a great finishing technique, as my roots tend to get lazy with the downward diffusing method. Absolutely love my hair tonight! #thebiggathehairthehardertheystare
Awesome as always, Mell! My wavy hair is looking great because of you!
I have been here since maybe your 4th or 5th video. It’s been amazing seeing your channel grow. Plus my hair loves all your tips! After all these years I think it’s finally time I bought the Dyson diffuser
Ahh, the perfect lunch break video! My hair is so thick and long that it takes me an hour to diffuse. So I do it about once a year! But maybe these tips will help me do it faster? Thanks Mell and Amanda!
happy texture Tuesday!
Love you mell!
Same to you♥️♥️♥️ love you more!!
Love the video, thanks!! Now, do a same one with focus on only wavy hair.
I like definition/volume mix. So I hover diffuse and scrunch diffuse.Using a very hard hold gel to prevent frizz. I don't SOTC all the way. Just a little for some softness and movement. My curls last forever w/frizz by the cast naturally dissappering day by day.
Today not doing any hair routine because I live in southeast GA and wet,rainy,windy tropical storm Elsa is on her way! Lol so back in a low soft ponytail today.
I like my hair best with curl cream but it only lasts one day if I dont use some sort of spray. Looking for a non crunchy hair spray Frizz Ease works well but is still more crunchy than I'd like.
I'm watching this as I'm diffusing my hair. Love your videos!
You read my mind girl, this is just the video I needed because I still struggle to get a good defusing session
U are my fav since i became a wavey girl.. i love ur channel and personality soo much. NEVER change!!
Happy Texture Tuesday!! The best day of the week!! Love this masterpiece video as always!! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Texture Tuesday Lynzi!! i hope you had the most amazing birthday yesterday AND birthday week ahead ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Manes by Mell I had the BEST day thanks to the two of you for making it so special! Love you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gamechanger!!!!! The hover method is my jam now.
Thaaaaaank you!
Always feared the blow dryer until I saw your videos. Love the different techniques. Volume❤️
I fell in love with my hair dryer again because of you! Thanks from NY
I love to hear it ❤️❤️❤️
I love to watch all your videos mell ,it's so much fun to watch 🤩🤩plus so informative 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I didn't wash my hair Sunday so here I'm sitting on the bed while the treatment does the job and ready to apply this new technique. Thanks teacher Mell ❤U
Update: no frizzy hair for me today
Just in time... I legit just bought a hairdryer...with diffuser...first one of my life after watching other vids. Until now hairdryer meant frizz...NOW I know why. Cant wait until my undercut grows out too and see just how a full head of bounce is gonna look now I know what to do, and what not to. Thanks Mel, so much!
Your sister looks like a disney princess. You're both so beautiful.
You both have the most gorgeous define healthy curls. 💖 You really know how to take care of your curls 🙌🏼 Thank you for teaching us. 😘
this girl is so helpful
I would love to see a skin routine. Y’all have like flawless skin 😍
This is exactly what I needed, thanks Mell! :)
Yup, as a more wavy gal, when I use the dryer, I prefer volume & definition. :) With the heat wave we've had here recently, I have chosen air dry & not going outside longer than needed, but yeah. :)
Thanks for this video. It has truly helped me when diffusing my curly hair. 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾 The hover over works for me.
Ahhh this video was so helpful!!! Would you ever consider doing some more “protective” styling videos??? I’m not confident when leaving my curls down but don’t want to do some of the tight styles that stretch my curls! Thanks! ❤️
Love my dyson....thanks for all those drying techniques!😉👍🏽
I’ve always been an air dry girl but now I’m excited to give diffusing a try :)
U and yur sista killin da curl game. Best videos one yt. Thank uu.🙌🏾
My hair is like your sisters! Omg finally. Would love to see more on your sisters hair!
Love your channel and your website! And you are so entertaining and funny while at the same time being so very informative! Comment and a question. Comment: Not everyone can afford the Dyson much as we might like. Can you please recommend other hair dryers or maybe even to a review video of a bunch of dryers you consider good.
The bigger the hair the harder they stare. Love it!
My ends have been very wonky lately and I’m pretty sure it’s because I’ve been using my Dyson on medium/high heat when cupping. Gonna start lowering my settings. Thank you!!
I had my collarbone length-hair cut in long layers. I use a hard hold mouse at the crown and use the comb_pick attachment at the top and crown using lowest heat and medium air settings and then use the cold-shot to set for curls and great volume!!! Love my Dyson 🥰
Thanks Mell, I’m still getting used to my ‘wash n go’ 😅. Can’t wait to get my own Dyson, hoping to spoil myself at Christmas 😊
Update: my fav technique is the hover one for definition then because my hair is so thick, I use the pick to dry and lift my roots. Loving my results, thanks so much Mell 😍
Thank you guys for all that you guys do! And happy anniversary 2 you and your Dyson!
21 minute long video
🙌 yesss please
Love your video and advice. On the rare occasions that I can diffuse my hair, your volume techniques work great.
Aaaaaaall your videos BLOW ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never a dull moment with you, Mell. Your so funny AND inteligent...WHAT A COMBINATION!!
Congrats my friend, your one special person!
Thank you for being here at UTube, making me laugh and teaching me at the same time.
GODSEND ❤
P.S. I HAD to come back in... you almost gave me a heart attack by laughing so hard with thouse "bloopers" today. Lactating? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 from there it was just laugh, laugh, laugh. You are really something, girl! Your the best thing that ever happened to UTube! 💜
I never thought to use a wide tooth comb and the diffuser to elongate the hair. Hopefully it works out well for me. I hate the scrunching one because I’m already type 4 and I don’t want my hair shrunken completely to my scalp 😂
I just bought a new hair dryer that has a diffuser attachment. Can't wait to start trying it out; i really need some help with my curly but very thin and fine hair.
🌸❤️A good hood dryer and clips works wonders as well as being affordable. Not a Bonnet dryer! Get a good cast first🌸❤️You two are awesome🌸
I like this channel i also love the tecnique she uses on NY Curls 401 it helps define my waves more.
Mell could u PLEASEEE do a video of finding a more affordable Dyson? I really want a Dyson but can’t really afford it so wondering if u can do that video for us?
Lpinye works AWESOME for me :)
You might want to look into buying a refurbished Dyson, of if that's still too expensive you might want to think about purchasing a Shark dryer. I've been looking at reviews for myself and the Shark seems to be pretty comparable and less expensive than the Dyson, but it's newer and not as popular so it doesn't have as many attachments.
Sometimes you can do split payments on those items look into smaller payments each month if you really want the dyson because that’s my plan I’m pretty sure they do financing. Hope this helps!
I am a middle-aged lady with a huge pile of 3b hair that stays wet for a long time so I have always had nice dryers -- Babyliss, Solano, Elchim, Chi. When Dyson came out, I was like NFW that's too much but let's see. I made several trips to the Bed Bath & Beyond to dry my hair with their Dyson display. I was not impressed (but the store employees & guests always were lol). In 2021, I was looking for a travel dryer, small, delicious. I splurged bought the T3 FIT micro & it is the best dryer I have ever owned. Ever. It's still a kind of spendy dryer but tbh I stopped using my Chi Touch 2 lol so it's not just a travel dryer anymore. Good luck.
The Laifen hairdryer is way cheaper and there is a sale on their website right now
Thanks so much for this. I don't have a Dyson but the prisma pro dryer with adjustable airflow technology. Using what I learned it took me 15 minutes.
Going to try that elongation technique on my next wash day. Maybe one day I will invest in a Dyson.
Can you please please try the SHARK HYPER AIR?
Sista's hair is epic and you're always the hot thang Mel!
I bought the hair dryer based on your recommendation. I love it.
Mell & Amanda would love the opportunity to see you professionally , since moving across country from my beloved hairdresser/great friend , I’ve unfortunately not have had the opportunity in establishing 2 precious gems as you both that gives off professionally vibes along with sincerity such as you dolls! 💇🏼♀️💇🏼♀️ trying to establish trust/ within communicating to achieve a successful hair day daily will be priceless ! Thank you,
Ladies 💜🦋
Mell your a legend and a curl savior😩💜
Love and hope you reach 1M soon💜
Girl, I want to know about your nails. Healthy hair and nails! Do you take vitamins? Use oils on your nails as you do the hair?
Omg MELL today I finally got it thank you so much for creating this videos and help me through our curly hair journey!!!
Doesnt the scrunching, increase the shrinkage of type 4 hair? What's the best method then? Thanks for an informative video
