Aww Melissa, thank you so much for mentioning me and my sweet Cleo and for your words of compassion and kindness. It means so much to me and thank you everyone who commented with sweet words and prayers for me, I'm so humbled. I'm still sad but I'm doing much better. I'm getting another little poodle in a few weeks so I'm hoping she helps fill the void that Cleo left. I love poodles so much, they are special dogs. Melissa I can't think of a name for her to save my life, I would be honored if you would name her for me. 😊
Oh Hannah, we are all still hurting with you so much. And it so did my heart good to see the love that everyone has for you. Stories shared and sorrow felt. It really is an indication of this TH-cam community and the things we share. We don't know you in person, but we know you hurt and you are one of us, so we hurt with you. I am so very honored that would you trust me to name your baby, but I am so afraid I would name him/her wrong! Look at her when the time comes and see what name suits his/her face and personality. I had never thought of the name Oliver before, but when my Oliver looked at me, I knew this was his name. But please let us know when it happens! And you are loved by us. Take care of yourself. You are special and loving and we appreciate you. Love you, Hannah! Melissa
I feel for you Hannah. We lost our baby boy last year and the void is still there. So glad your life allows you to get another baby as that will hep so much. BIG hugs to you. xoxo Elle
Hannah I so feel your pain. I have 3 cats (started off with 1) but had to 'adopt' these 2 others but I love them all so dearly. Our pets are just like little 'people' and have personalities, feelings and are so intuitive and of course they are just so loving and loyal. I'm sure Cleo had a wonderful happy life and you'll soon be getting another little sweetheart to cherish. I think if it's a little lady, you should call her 'Missy' after our dear sweet Melissa (who I think gets called that). Sending you lots of love - June xxx
Oh girl, thank you so much, but I think they really do want women about 18 or something like that. Maybe 16? I read the other day that Gisele was getting too old and she's like 35. Kind of sad isn't it? Anyway thanks!
I think you get better with age Melissa, look at Christie Brinkley she is in her 60s and looks stunning. And to be honest I would rather see a beautiful woman as a model than a teenage girl. The beauty industry has it all wrong its women like you they should be hiring.
I am new to using a Argan Rain shampoo. I do have dry damaged hair due to me coloring my hair, for a few years. I am pleased to share that my hair is less dry and is more manageable since I started to use Best Shampoo for Dry Damaged Hair Treatment. I will definitely be purchasing this product again.
I am also so sorry for Hanna, I didn't read comments so I didn't know. Wishing her peace and comfort. Love your video, love your hair either way you do it.
As I've gotten older I find doing my hair a chore (tiring) but what a great idea to wash night before and then do my straighting etc..next morning - why did'nt I think of that - thankyou Melissa and for all your tips! 🎀
Thanks so much, Elaine! I have to say though that my hair looks nicer and fluffier if I do it in the morning. The challenges of being a woman. lol. Lots of love and thanks, Melissa
You and Elle and Monique Parent are honestly the three best TH-camrs. I have learned so much from you three and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are so kind and so beautiful. I don't know why you do it and I can't even begin to question why but I am so grateful that you do because you help us more than you will ever know. You are an amazing talent and a blessing. Thank you , sweetheart
You are very kind and compassionate person! Every time I watch you I can't help but think that there is no way you are over the age of40! You are so pretty and I enjoy all of your videos!
Oh Mary, that really means so much to me. One thing I would always want to be is a compassionate person. That really matters to me. Thank you so much for your kindness. Love, Melissa
My heart goes out to Hanna as well and thank you Melissa for pointing this out. I know how my entire family feels about our dog, Meadow, and it really is amazing how much animals add to our lives.
It really is like losing a member of the family, isn't it? And they love us so unconditionally. aw, give Meadow a kiss from me! Take care, Mel, and I send you lots of love, Melissa
You are the most beautiful 'over 60 'woman I've ever seen your skin just glows and your hair is so pretty I enjoy all your videos you really have a natural charm . I'm 57 and have learnt so much from watching your tutorials I live in Australia and some of the products are not readily available and I can't afford a lot of them but I just love watching your videos lol You are an inspiration 😘
Oh Julie, thank you so much! Wow, I am so grateful. Doug and I really want to visit Australia some day. It just looks like such a beautiful country. Thank you and just know how much I appreciate you. Love, Melissa
Oh my heart goes out to Hannah on the loss of her sweet pup.. Anyone who's ever lost a beloved pet knows the heartache we feel when we loose one. 💔. Bless her heart. I haven't had long hair since high school.. Every time I try to grow it a little everyone says they don't like it!! Lol. So, I have a feeling that it will just be short and that's ok.. it's easy and piecey and fun.. I can TOTALLY relate to how you feel trying to get out the door in the morning (or anytime!).... It's not my hair that takes long but my makeup!! Seriously, it really is ridiculous how long I take.. 😳 lol. I get frustrated, forget jewelry just like you said and run around like a crazy woman!! Sigh. What we go through to look good, huh??? Lol. I'm so sorry you were sick! There's so much going around right now. So glad you're feeling better now... I hope you have a much better week.. XOXO Sue
Your beauty is unmatched, dear Melissa, and now I also know your compassion is unmatched. Your videos have helped in calming me when I am going through a rough time (or rather when those I love are going through the rough time and I can't shake the anxiety) Don't feel guilty for one second for posting, ! As Mr. Rogers said "When sad things happen, look for the helpers, there are always helpers"! Thanks for being a great "helper"! I adore you! XOXO Debb
Oh Debb, you are so sweet. You really touched my heart. It's funny because when I get down or have bad days, someone in the TH-cam community always picks me up and listens to me. And that's what I hope we always do. It matters more and more the older we get. You are a blessing and I am so grateful to you. Love, Melissa
Good morning, beautiful. When my hair was longer, you, and Elle were my my hair gurus. Swoozie does have gorgeous hair too. Love the way your hair turned out. It is so nice you can attain a beautiful look without much time. Love you my friend. Have a blessed Sunday, Melissa. Many blessings, prayers, and joy...MaryEllen
Hello beautiful ME! Oh thank you and isn't Elle's hair amazing? I just love it. And Swoozie, too. They have gorgeous hair. Thank you so much. Love you and well, just thinking about you today. xxx, Missy
Just lovely Melissa! You kept my interest every minute! I love your hairdos and you expian them so well. I am very sorry for your subscriber Hannah who lost her beloved poodle. Oh how we love our dogie-kids. I remember seeing Oliver last week walk in...I was so charmed! Mr. Cooper for me is a huge part of my life...I would be so lost without him.Thank you for a great video and I admire the work you put into having beautiful hair..because it is movie star beautiful!...my love to you and yours always, Susan & Coops
Oh thank you more than I can say, Susan. It broke my heart for Hannah and the way you love your big guy, I know you can empathize with her. It's heartbreaking. aw, thank you so much. And so much love being sent back to you. Love, Melissa
I couldn't help but tear up when you spoke of Hannah's loss...so very sorry Hannah! Melissa, you're beautiful as always....love the hair bump idea and I'm definitely going to give it a try.
aw, thank you so much, Jackie. My heart just broke for her. aw, I hope you like the bump! I just love some big hair at the crown. lol. Thank you sweet lady. I appreciate it. Love Melissa
I love your hair every way you style it! I want to say a big thank you to you for reminding me to "be a girl". I've gone through phases over the years where I paid attention to myself and I really liked those times. I loved shopping for bargains and buying cute things to wear but lately, I've kinda let myself go. You make me laugh and have reminded me how good it feels to pay some attention to yourself. I'll never be a girly girl but it's nice to really like what you see in the mirror again. Keep sharing and sprinkling that happy dust over us!
Oh Sheila, thank you for telling me this. It really means a lot to me. You know, the community we have here is amazing. I learn so much and just get so much inspiration from the amazing women I talk to. No lie, every video I learn at least three new hints or facts. It's been wonderful for expanding myself and growing. I wish all of us could just have a big jamboree and meet. There are so many faces and personalities I would love to put to a name. Thank you and much love, Melissa
Melissa - I could see your eyes filling up as you started to talk about Hannah and I just felt a great big lump in my throat as I didn't like to see you getting so upset but could sense the hurt and pain you were feeling. You are truly empathic (you're quite special!!!). Great video on how you do your hair. June xx
aw, thank you so much. I just feel so bad about Hannah and felt guilty doing my hair after reading her comment. I could just imagine if that had been Oliver. Thank you so much for your kindness. Love, Melissa
I have gotten samples of them in bags before but never tried them. But I'm going to now. I would think it would really moisturize my ends and help with tangles. Thanks Eve! Love ya, Melissa
Oh Melissa I swear you are just so beautiful and you have a humble heart too so beauty is more than skin deep with you I love how you care about others love you so much hugs Susie
Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I am thrilled you like those rollers! I love them, too. I think I'll use them tomorrow! Lol. Love and thanks, Melissa
There is nothing like our fur babies. Praying for Hanna. Thank you for doing this video. I have been wanting to know how you got your "bump". Thank you Melissa. Always a joy to watch you.
You are so right, Jenn. They are just so much joy for us, aren't they? Oh thank you so much. I sure do love a good bump at my crown! lol. Love, Melissa
Your hair looks pretty wavy or straight. I wish my hair wasn't so dry and I could wear it straight more often. I am trying to grow my hair out longer (which is like watching grass grow - slow. Slow, slow) so I baby it by washing at night, letting it air dry to avoid unnecessary heat, and then style it in the morning. Love your hair.
Beautiful. I love your long hair no matter how you wear it. It all looks gorgeous on you. I just had mine cut shorter and now I regret it and wish it was long again. I can't make up my mind lol. Thank you for sharing your hairstyling techniques. You make it look so easy. Love your heart and compassion Melissa. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. I really feel sad for Hannah's loss too. Our fur babies are everything to us and when they're gone our homes feel so empty. They give our lives so much joy. I lost my dog a year and a half ago. Had him for 11 wonderful years, best companion ever and still miss him every day. Our pets are a blessing. Glad you're feeling better. Love and hugs xoxo❤
aw, thank you so very much, Tee! You always are just the kindest of women. It's so hard to know whether to go long or short. There are advantages to both of them. I was so sad to hear about Hannah's baby. It broke my heart. But everyone has been so nice that I hope she has found comfort in that. Oh I am so very sorry to hear of you losing your little guy. It's so difficult. You have such a loving heart, Toula. Love being sent to you, Melissa
Melissa , I remember awhile back when you mentioned about the video that people said you looked bad when you were doing your color. Now who would say Melissa looked bad -ever! I am going to show my colorist your picture- well a video- so she can see how you have your color . It's so natural looking. Thanks bunches for answering ..xoxo
This is my favorite hair style on you! When you slept on it and showed it the next day that is exactly like how mine looks in the morning. I think we have the same hair cut! I appreciate you doing this demo. My hair is so flat in the back but you showed a great way to give it umph! lol... My mom had that same brush. LOL. You are so beautiful and I love your videos!
aw, thanks so much, Dee. I think we have really similar hair, except yours is so much nicer than mine. I absolutely love your hair. I thank you more than I can say and I sure do love you a lot! xxx, Melissa
Thank you so much, and you are so sweet. Hannah's story just broke my heart and it's been wonderful how everyone has rallied behind her. You are wonderful. Lots of love, Melissa
All this time I didn't realize how fine your hair is. It's very much like mine. I just thought you had gobs of it and it was naturally full of body. lol! I can actually get a hair bump with your technique without teasing it so much or using a can of hairspray. Thank you!
Hello Melissa,I would like to thank you a lot for your videos!. I found you recently on TH-cam and I am so happy!!! Watching you, I understood how I wanna live and look when I reach my 60s. I am a young woman who worries about many things but looking at you I realized that every woman at each stage of live is beautiful!
Oh thank you more than I can say, Anna. That is absolutely the nicest thing I have heard in a long time. It truly touched my heart. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
I bought an antique brush a while back after you mentioned yours in one of your videos. What a great tip! You're so right, it grabs the hair just right. Thanks for sharing!
Hannah so sorry you lost your baby...that had to have been devastating. And Melissa you are so sweet and kind to mention Hannah. It's always hard when we lose our fur babies...they are part of our family. Enjoyed the the video...you look good with straight hair but my favorite is when you wear it curly!!! Love ya!
Melissa you are just one fine compassionate and lovely lady. Many blessings to you. You are inspiring and have just a sweet and sincere personality. Beatiful from the inside out!
Great video, thanks Melissa. I especially want to thank you for your kind words to Hannah, it was so thoughtful of you to acknowledge her painful loss. Love you -- xo Karen
Your hair is gorgeous!! And you are so dear to mention Hannah and her loss. How thoughtful. Oh it is so very sad. I enjoy flattening my long hair but now thanks to you, will be getting two big rollers! I love the height in the crown. Oh, how I love your videos, Melissa ... You are a beautiful lady!!
Oh thank you, Bonnie so much. That really means a lot because I always think I have such bad hair. I just felt to bad for Hannah. She is suffering and that makes me so sad. Thank you again. I am so grateful. Love, Melissa
I use velcro rollers too and LOVE them! I am from GA and with the humid weather I need the extra ooomph!! :-) Melissa your are the such a compassionate person. A true southern belle! My dogs are my babies too. :) Have a great Sunday!
Tracey, I love your hair! Aren't velcro rollers the best? And I will also use them after using a big barrel curling iron and talk about lots of oomph! And I live really close to Georgia! aw, thank you so much. Yes, our pets are our babies for sure. Thank you and much love, Melissa
You make it looks so easy. I have always been hair challenged and my mother was a beautician for many years. That made me so sad to hear about Hannah's fur baby. Glad you are feeling better and you look gorgeous as always. Love you! Carolyn xoxo
aw, thanks, Carolyn. You are NOT hair challenged! You have gorgeous hair. I didn't know your mom was a beautician! I learned more about you today! . I feel so bad for Hannah. Thank you and love you lots, Melissa
It is so good to see you, Melissa! Your hair is beautiful!! Poor Hannah! It's so sad... but I just love how you do your hair!! It is getting long so quickly!! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!! Love you so much! JJ
Thank you so much, JJ. I know, I just feel so bad for Hannah. It's so hard on her. Love you lots and lots and you know how I pray for you. Love you, Missy!
Awww Hannah it's heartbreaking to hear this news sending love and cuddles I know only too well the feelings your going threw I had to have my first boy golden retriever put to sleep he was nine I went in that room and cuddled him and kissed him as the vet put the needle in I was saying mam loves you mam loves you till he dropped I was literally on the floor with him but I had to do it he looked after me so much I still get a pain in my heart every time I think or tell this story ...lovely of you to mention Hannah Melissa your just beautiful inside and out xoxoxo goodnight god bless cleo🐶
So Glad you Are Back! I watch a few ladies on here but I must say... Melissa, Lady.. You Rock It! I can't wait for my next alert to go off! Such a wonderful person. Beautiful inside and out! That is a Rare quality anymore.! Such kind words to Hannah. Keep up the wonderful sharing and the hard work you put into your video's as I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciated them and You! Love &Prayers... Lisa S. ~Texas
aw, you don't need to because you have gorgeous thick hair. I love you so much, but I have such hair envy!!! And I bet it smells good. lol. Love you, Melissa
Loved your comments about being a pet owner... my Barkley (also a poodle) is everything to me. Your words were kind and your hair is lovely! I think I am going to try that Root Boost. Is the Morrocanoil one your favorite or are there others you enjoy? Thanks for the vid. :)
Thank you so much. I felt so bad for Hannah when I read her comment. And poodles are such special little babies, too aren't they? I do like that root boost the best, but I also like the Big Sexy Hair Root pump plus, too. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Great... I will go ahead and try them both... I really appreciate your suggestions. Poodles are indeed very special. I have been blessed to have Barkley in my life... sometimes I feel like he takes care of me more than I do of him! Be well and thanks again! -Shell
I feel so badly for the Hanna you mention. It hurts so much to lose a furry little soul. I really appreciate your caring about others like you do. The fact that you're so pretty is the icing on the cake. I think God danced the day you were born.
aw, you are so sweet, Hannah. I just feel so bad for her but I know she is getting comfort reading these comments. Thank you more than I can say! I really appreciate it. Love, Melissa
Oh, Melissa! I was just in the midst of binge watching you, lol! I found you a few days ago ( from watching old Lisalisad1) ...and am hooked! I'm 63, and share so many of your thoughts, and feelings on aging. What a blessing to find you. Xo. Love and best wishes from Michigan! ❤🙋🏼
Melissa, Thank you! I'm still making my way through your posts....💕.must tell you, I call Benedict Cumberbatch my old lady crush! Lol. Carry on, you are truly a beauty inside and out!
Melissa, you have such a kind spirit! I'm so sorry for your loss Hannah. My heart goes out to you! Thanks Melissa for this tutorial. I will be trying this & see how it goes. I have to wash my hair at night or I also feel that it is too much rushing to get ready to go to work in the morning. Hope you are having a good weekend! Hugs~Peggy
Thank you so much, Peggy. Reading Hannah's comment just really got to me. And the response for her has been wonderful. I really hope it helps ease her sorrow to know others are thinking of her. Love and thanks, Melissa
WOW! So gorgeous. We are "night shampooers" lol. Saves so much time in the morning. This look is flawless - and that little bit of lift at the crown is to die for! Will have to try that Root Boost. - xoxo, Carla and Cindy (2 Real Chicks)
aw, thanks so much, C and C!!! I am just discovering the joys of night shampooing and man alive, do you ever save time! aw, thank you so much. Take care and lots of love, Melissa
I am right with you Melissa.......I need the pouf too!!! I sleep with two large rollers in my hair and spray them with hairspray and shoot them with heat also. And Ta Da.....the pouf!!!! Have a wonderful week!!!
Hey Linda, I just have to have some height at the crown. Love the bump. Oh I have done a roller at the crown at night, too. I think you get the best bump that way. Thanks so much! Love, Melissa
It seems that so many have lost their fur babies...So sad..I feel bad for Hannah.. On another note you did your hair so beautiful!! I always love how you tease it before you roll it...I have never done that..Very clever!! xoxoxoxo you!! Carol
It is so sad when they pass away. And you are the sweetest person. Thank you more than I can say for my goodies. I am so grateful to you. I sent you a text! I love you, Melissa
You are so beautiful Melissa, it really blows my mind how youthful and just stunning you continue to get with every video. Your eye make up lately has really been making your eyes glow such a pretty blue and they almost sparkle. I love the purple on you, and you really inspire me to get my hot rollers out every so often and experiment with them and get the volume I like. Your hair looks so beautiful. Thanks for the video
aw, thank you so much, AnnaNicole! Believe me, I get older by the day, but I appreciate your comment so much. I have been using that Urban Decay Smoky every day and I really like the way it does with my eyes, so thank you! I hope this weekend is wonderful for you. Love, Melissa
I understand the sympathy for those who love dogs! I had to put down my beautiful golden retriever this year and it felt like my heart got ripped out! Thanks for your kindness Melissa as well as the tutorial, lovely as usual : )
Oh I am so so sorry for this. Yes, that is a good way to explain it. Your heart feels like it is ripped out. Thank you and bless you for loving your baby so much. Love, Melissa
Love your hair Melissa...I have naturally curly hair too, I'll have to try your tips and tricks to tame my hair. You are such a kind and sensitive person!! I look forward to your videos!!
What a kind comment! I can't thank you enough. I love it when I wear my hair wavy, but it's nice to be able to wear it straight, too. I am so grateful for you being so nice. Have a wonderful week. Love, Melissa
I'm so sorry Hannah, for the loss of your beloved Poodle! Pets are Family! Having lost a couple Pets yrs ago, I certainly know that Heartache! Hugs to you! Melissa you look gorgeous!!! I always love your Videos and all you share!
That was so very kind of you to say that to Hannah. I hope she reads here and realizes we are all thinking of her. And thank you for the compliment! Love, Melissa
Melissa, you are such a sweetheart. Loved watching you do your hair. You cannot do any thing wrong in my eyes. I feel so bad for Hannah..When you lose your little fur baby it's like losing your child if you're a pet lover.. We have to pray for her Melissa. TFS.. Have a restful Sunday. Hugs and love, Mary xoxo
I see several comments here asking for you to do a hair color video & as I was watching this I was thinking that too! My hair is platinum now & I have been talking with my stylist about bringing in some golden tones ,so I would love to hear how does your colorist do your color. I love your long hair , I'm growing mine again after my platinum pixie period last spring & summer . I was saddened to hear about your subscriber Hannah's sudden tragedy , but the outpouring of comfort in the comments here do keep me believing that there is love & compassion abounding out there in our world👼 Bless you, ..xoxo 💞
Hey Linda. I did do a hair video, but it was at the end of the day, my makeup had worn off, I was tired, looked like you know what and when people saw it they kept commenting at how old and unattractive I looked, so I was so embarrassed that I took it down. If I had any nerve I would put it back up again and say to heck with the people that said I looked bad! Here is the formula my friend uses on my hair. It's foreign to me, but maybe it will make sense to you: Redken level 8 ash series and foil highlights of Redken level 7 bleach w 40 vol. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
After blow drying we have what I call "lion hair!" From there we get gorgeous. I have never used the big rollers, so your demonstration was so helpful, thank you! I'm trying it.
lol, I love lion hair! It reminds me of curly hair in the 70's that when you brushed it, it would be all frizzy and big. lol. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
aw, thank you so much! I love my brush. I think it's vintage, but I'm not sure. I got it about 15 years ago or more on eBay. It looks really damaged now. Thank you! Melissa
Just found your channel and been watching some this afternoon. You are so pretty and no wrinkles!! I am 62 and I have many wrinkles!!! Love your channel, your personality, and enjoy watching the videos of you and your husband. Love the doggie too!!! So cute!! I subscribed and keep up the good work!! Hugs!
Rachel that really does mean so very much to me. I love our hope TH-cam community of mature women. I get inspired daily from everyone. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Oh thank you so much! I wouldn't be surprised if you heard crickets. It has turned so warm here that I think everything is coming back to life! Thank you! Melissa
Such a helpful video. Thank you. Perhaps you could do more vlog videos. I would love to see you out and about. Also, could you please show a video of your lighting set up, where you sit, etc. You are truly lovely. hugs from Hawaii.
Oh thank you so much! I sure will show my set up. A word of warning, it's pretty basic. A Sony camera, a ring light and two just regular furniture lamps. lol. I have tried blogging before and I felt like I was terrible at it. I think there is a knack and I'm not sure I have it. I don't feel like I'm a very interesting person.! But I can't thank you enough for asking. Much love, Melissa
First off, don't we all wish we had Tammy's & Swoozie's hair! I had very thick hair for a long time. Heredity & medications made me have a lot of hair thinning. I love my Velcro rollers! They're the only thing that gives me a good hairdo. I never flat iron my hair because I don't look good in straight hair. You look gorgeous in any style. It's heartbreaking to lose a pet. I lost a poodle from him being stubborn & getting hit by a car. He was let out to pee & decided to go out on the road for a walk. When I called him he tossed his head & then a car came right around the corner & hit him. It was late at night & of course the driver didn't stop. I know Hannah's heartbreak & I'm so sorry for her. Love your straight hairstyle. Your so beautiful inside & out. God bless you Melissa & love you, Lucy
I so enjoy your videos! You are beautiful! If only we could all emulate your sweet, kind, and compassionate personality, the world would be a better place!
Oh no, I love your accent! PS: I love seeing when people love animals, I still miss my Maltese boy... it's so hard. That was sweet of you to mention her in your video. Sending you a big hug Melissa!
Hi Melissa I am a new subbie over 60 and I am so glad that I stumbled across your channel. I too love that bump on the top of my hair. Thank you so much for sharing how you do it. Oh! and by the way you are gorgeous!!!!
Melissa55 Oh Melissa! I do love the bump. I have tried your technique and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much for replying. I really love your channel, I am so glad I found you. Hugsxoxo
Wow! This is so informative! Im a hot mess with a flat iron. For some reason straight hair looks terrible on me. I would love to be able to wear my hair straight. The top of my hair so heavy I don't know if I can get the bump thing going and it's so thick through and my crown and I have such a little forhead that my hair would never stay out of my face like that like yours does. I'm so jelly I can't do this style.
Hey Beth! You hair is so pretty! My friend that does my hair does have to layer the area around my crown because I do like to wear that bump a lot. That way a lot of the weight is taken off. She puts long layers in it. Oh don't be jealous about this style, you have that thick gorgeous hair that I would give anything to have! Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
You look as pretty as ever.... thank you for doing hair tutorials they have actually helped me a lot... That is one of my major struggles. by the way, I went to try on Tom Ford's Spanish Rose and OMG! I fell in love with it! I was going to buy it on the spot but they were sold out! I will definitely be ordering it from Beautylish.
aw, thank you so much. I actually just filmed a hair tutorial that turned out just terrible! It was so boring I couldn't even edit it. lol. Oh I'm so glad you like the Tom Ford lipstick. It's so beautiful. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
Hey Melissa. My hair does better when I do it all in the morning, but I don't have time for that most days, so I do just what you did in this video. As I was watching, I was thinking about all the hub bub on social media about how good Christy Brinkley looks at 63 and how everyone is saying it's not possible without out plastic surgery. I know that it is possible from watching your videos and think you look every bit as good as she does! Have a great week.
Oh Kristina, you have made my day! I can't thank you enough. To be honest, my hair looks much better if I do it in the morning. In fact, I kind of wish I had filmed this with morning washed hair instead of evening. But we are all so busy, it's hard to have the time to do it. Thank you again for your kindness. I really appreciate it. Love, Melissa
You put Long Island Medium to shame with your bump, just teasing, no pun intended, lol. I wish she'd get a new do and lose that 80's hair, but you look gorgeous as always!!
Hey Irma. So I went to look her up! Girlfriend has the bump going doesn't she? Lol I gotta say, I bow down to her. She sure can get some good height at the crown! Lol. Love you lots and lots, and thank you! Melissa
I have short hair so this doesn't pertain to me but I just love watching you, your smile ohs infectious and you just makes smile.I wish I could have long hair but its to hard for me with my hands and its also thin from my lupus looks thicker shorter.I'm going to have to try and get that lipstick you are wearing, so beautiful but then if you used crayola crayons it would still look great.How kind of you to mention the woman who lost her dog and of course I am crying. I love my cat like she is my child, they are family and losing them hurts so badly I'm so sorry for that woman, what a tragic situation. You have such a good heart, its for real,no pretense there. xoCathy
aw, thank you so much, Cathy! I love short hair and it really suits you so much. And it's so easy! And your hair always looks terrific. You are just so sweet! I just felt so bad for Hannah and my heart broke for her. Yes, they are family. She will grieve for a long time for her baby. Thank you, Cathy! Lots of love, Melissa
Hi Melissa! I am heart broken for Hanna. It's so sad. Our pets mean so much to us. I am thinking of her. Your hair is beautiful Melissa and I enjoyed watching how you style it straight. My hair is much shorter, but I will try your tips for getting volume into the crown. Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend. Hugs,xoxo Daphne 💖💖
What would your hair look like straight if you did not put the bump on top? You have the kindest heart. The comment about the lady loosing her poodle made me cry. I have lost both my little bischons and I loved them like my children. God Bless you for caring.
aw, thank you so much! Doug thinks it looks nice without the bump. He just loves it blown out and left alone, no hairspray or bump or anything. I think it's what I'm used to. I'll appear in a video without the bump sometime and see what you think. Oh I'm so sorry about the loss of your babies. Yes, you loved them like children. They don't ask much of us. Just for us to love them and they give their all to us in return. Thank you and I send you so much love, Melissa
I love how you do the tease part and have a bump, I have wanted to try and do that, also need a blow dryer as I air dry mine for so long. Thanks for sharing Melissa , you always look so beautiful have a wonderful weekend love and blessings xoxox
Loved seeing how you got the height/bump in your hair. Now, see, I am always coveting your hair, especially the height you get in your hair. Every time I see you, I want that in my style, but, for some weird reason, I'm afraid to really go for it and just do it. I think I worry that it'll be too much or I would look silly. Maybe I just need to have you come over and style me up so that I can have that Melissa look. LOL. xoxo, Swoozie PS. Thanks for mentioning, once again. Love you. 💖
You could never look silly. You are absolutely beautiful! And you have the best hair ever. There is nothing that you could ever do to your hair that would make it not be beautiful. Love you back! You are the best. Love, Melissa
This was such a great video! I am convinced that straight hair is younger looking! Thank you for a clear easy tutorial. It looks as if you have two layers in your hair to get the height. Will try it! Also like to shampoo at night😄
Oh thank you so very much! To be honest my hair looks much better if I shampoo in the morning but it's so hard to hurry up and get it done and out the door on time. It gets oilier faster if I do it at night, but something you just have to. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Aww Melissa, thank you so much for mentioning me and my sweet Cleo and for your words of compassion and kindness. It means so much to me and thank you everyone who commented with sweet words and prayers for me, I'm so humbled. I'm still sad but I'm doing much better. I'm getting another little poodle in a few weeks so I'm hoping she helps fill the void that Cleo left. I love poodles so much, they are special dogs. Melissa I can't think of a name for her to save my life, I would be honored if you would name her for me. 😊
Oh Hannah, we are all still hurting with you so much. And it so did my heart good to see the love that everyone has for you. Stories shared and sorrow felt. It really is an indication of this TH-cam community and the things we share. We don't know you in person, but we know you hurt and you are one of us, so we hurt with you.
I am so very honored that would you trust me to name your baby, but I am so afraid I would name him/her wrong! Look at her when the time comes and see what name suits his/her face and personality. I had never thought of the name Oliver before, but when my Oliver looked at me, I knew this was his name. But please let us know when it happens! And you are loved by us. Take care of yourself. You are special and loving and we appreciate you. Love you, Hannah! Melissa
I feel for you Hannah. We lost our baby boy last year and the void is still there. So glad your life allows you to get another baby as that will hep so much. BIG hugs to you. xoxo Elle
I was so sad to hear of your sweet Cleo. My prayers are with you. Take care.
Hannah I so feel your pain. I have 3 cats (started off with 1) but had to 'adopt' these 2 others but I love them all so dearly. Our pets are just like little 'people' and have personalities, feelings and are so intuitive and of course they are just so loving and loyal. I'm sure Cleo had a wonderful happy life and you'll soon be getting another little sweetheart to cherish. I think if it's a little lady, you should call her 'Missy' after our dear sweet Melissa (who I think gets called that). Sending you lots of love - June xxx
Hannah, I am so sorry for your loss.....xxoo hugs, Jeanie
If I am in any way responsible for your gorgeous hair, then I am so flattered. Love you my friend ♥ Elle
You are just fabulous - SO inspiring - beautiful, kind, compassionate - the whole package!
You are so gorgeous Melissa! I love your hair and enjoyed seeing how you style it straight. Love you! xoxo
aw, thanks, Anne! I hope you are well and having a wonderful week. I love YOU hair! It's beautiful. Lots of love, Melissa
You should model
Oh thank you. I'm about 45 years too old and 20 pounds too heavy for that! Lol. But I appreciate it. Love, Melissa
No!
You would rock!
Macy's...Penny's etc!!!
Oh girl, thank you so much, but I think they really do want women about 18 or something like that. Maybe 16? I read the other day that Gisele was getting too old and she's like 35. Kind of sad isn't it? Anyway thanks!
I think you get better with age Melissa, look at Christie Brinkley she is in her 60s and looks stunning. And to be honest I would rather see a beautiful woman as a model than a teenage girl. The beauty industry has it all wrong its women like you they should be hiring.
I am new to using a Argan Rain shampoo. I do have dry damaged hair due to me coloring my hair, for a few years. I am pleased to share that my hair is less dry and is more manageable since I started to use Best Shampoo for Dry Damaged Hair Treatment. I will definitely be purchasing this product again.
I am also so sorry for Hanna, I didn't read comments so I didn't know. Wishing her peace and comfort. Love your video, love your hair either way you do it.
I just felt so bad for her reading her comment. I can't imagine the pain she is going through. Many thanks, Melissa
Margaret Pentecost thank you so much. You are so sweet.
As I've gotten older I find doing my hair a chore (tiring) but what a great idea to wash night before and then do my straighting etc..next morning - why did'nt I think of that - thankyou Melissa and for all your tips! 🎀
Thanks so much, Elaine! I have to say though that my hair looks nicer and fluffier if I do it in the morning. The challenges of being a woman. lol. Lots of love and thanks, Melissa
You and Elle and Monique Parent are honestly the three best TH-camrs. I have learned so much from you three and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are so kind and so beautiful. I don't know why you do it and I can't even begin to question why but I am so grateful that you do because you help us more than you will ever know. You are an amazing talent and a blessing. Thank you , sweetheart
You are very kind and compassionate person! Every time I watch you I can't help but think that there is no way you are over the age of40! You are so pretty and I enjoy all of your videos!
Oh Mary, that really means so much to me. One thing I would always want to be is a compassionate person. That really matters to me. Thank you so much for your kindness. Love, Melissa
My heart goes out to Hanna as well and thank you Melissa for pointing this out. I know how my entire family feels about our dog, Meadow, and it really is amazing how much animals add to our lives.
It really is like losing a member of the family, isn't it? And they love us so unconditionally. aw, give Meadow a kiss from me! Take care, Mel, and I send you lots of love, Melissa
You are the most beautiful 'over 60 'woman I've ever seen your skin just glows and your hair is so pretty I enjoy all your videos you really have a natural charm .
I'm 57 and have learnt so much from watching your tutorials I live in Australia and some of the products are not readily available and I can't afford a lot of them but I just love watching your videos lol
You are an inspiration 😘
Oh Julie, thank you so much! Wow, I am so grateful. Doug and I really want to visit Australia some day. It just looks like such a beautiful country. Thank you and just know how much I appreciate you. Love, Melissa
Oh my heart goes out to Hannah on the loss of her sweet pup.. Anyone who's ever lost a beloved pet knows the heartache we feel when we loose one. 💔. Bless her heart. I haven't had long hair since high school.. Every time I try to grow it a little everyone says they don't like it!! Lol. So, I have a feeling that it will just be short and that's ok.. it's easy and piecey and fun.. I can TOTALLY relate to how you feel trying to get out the door in the morning (or anytime!).... It's not my hair that takes long but my makeup!! Seriously, it really is ridiculous how long I take.. 😳 lol. I get frustrated, forget jewelry just like you said and run around like a crazy woman!! Sigh. What we go through to look good, huh??? Lol. I'm so sorry you were sick! There's so much going around right now. So glad you're feeling better now... I hope you have a much better week.. XOXO Sue
Sue W thank you so much, that was so sweet.
Your beauty is unmatched, dear Melissa, and now I also know your compassion is unmatched. Your videos have helped in calming me when I am going through a rough time (or rather when those I love are going through the rough time and I can't shake the anxiety) Don't feel guilty for one second for posting, ! As Mr. Rogers said "When sad things happen, look for the helpers, there are always helpers"! Thanks for being a great "helper"! I adore you! XOXO Debb
Oh Debb, you are so sweet. You really touched my heart. It's funny because when I get down or have bad days, someone in the TH-cam community always picks me up and listens to me. And that's what I hope we always do. It matters more and more the older we get. You are a blessing and I am so grateful to you. Love, Melissa
I started using eyeliner because of you! Before that I thought I was too old for it....I am 67.....May God bless you Sweetie!
Good morning, beautiful. When my hair was longer, you, and Elle were my my hair gurus. Swoozie does have gorgeous hair too. Love the way your hair turned out. It is so nice you can attain a beautiful look without much time. Love you my friend. Have a blessed Sunday, Melissa. Many blessings, prayers, and joy...MaryEllen
Hello beautiful ME! Oh thank you and isn't Elle's hair amazing? I just love it. And Swoozie, too. They have gorgeous hair. Thank you so much. Love you and well, just thinking about you today. xxx, Missy
Just lovely Melissa! You kept my interest every minute! I love your hairdos and you expian them so well. I am very sorry for your subscriber Hannah who lost her beloved poodle. Oh how we love our dogie-kids. I remember seeing Oliver last week walk in...I was so charmed! Mr. Cooper for me is a huge part of my life...I would be so lost without him.Thank you for a great video and I admire the work you put into having beautiful hair..because it is movie star beautiful!...my love to you and yours always, Susan & Coops
Oh thank you more than I can say, Susan.
It broke my heart for Hannah and the way you love your big guy, I know you can empathize with her. It's heartbreaking. aw, thank you so much. And so much love being sent back to you. Love, Melissa
I couldn't help but tear up when you spoke of Hannah's loss...so very sorry Hannah! Melissa, you're beautiful as always....love the hair bump idea and I'm definitely going to give it a try.
aw, thank you so much, Jackie. My heart just broke for her. aw, I hope you like the bump! I just love some big hair at the crown. lol. Thank you sweet lady. I appreciate it. Love Melissa
You have such beautiful hair thank you for the demo!!❤️
aw, thank you, Erica. Back at ya. You have gorgeous hair! I love your hair color! Beautiful. Love ya, Melissa
I love your hair every way you style it! I want to say a big thank you to you for reminding me to "be a girl". I've gone through phases over the years where I paid attention to myself and I really liked those times. I loved shopping for bargains and buying cute things to wear but lately, I've kinda let myself go. You make me laugh and have reminded me how good it feels to pay some attention to yourself. I'll never be a girly girl but it's nice to really like what you see in the mirror again. Keep sharing and sprinkling that happy dust over us!
Oh Sheila, thank you for telling me this. It really means a lot to me.
You know, the community we have here is amazing. I learn so much and just get so much inspiration from the amazing women I talk to. No lie, every video I learn at least three new hints or facts. It's been wonderful for expanding myself and growing. I wish all of us could just have a big jamboree and meet. There are so many faces and personalities I would love to put to a name. Thank you and much love, Melissa
Love your hair straight, wavy or natural, Melissa! Gorgeous any way you wear it. You are a soft soul....gentle, kind and compassionate.
Lorna
Oh thank you more than I can say, Lorna. I am so grateful. Love, Melissa
Melissa - I could see your eyes filling up as you started to talk about Hannah and I just felt a great big lump in my throat as I didn't like to see you getting so upset but could sense the hurt and pain you were feeling. You are truly empathic (you're quite special!!!). Great video on how you do your hair. June xx
aw, thank you so much. I just feel so bad about Hannah and felt guilty doing my hair after reading her comment. I could just imagine if that had been Oliver. Thank you so much for your kindness. Love, Melissa
Melissa you are such a sweet and genuine person. I just love your channel. Thank you for everything you do!
My Goodness Melissa it is startling how young you look - Im happy for you, your pretty AND nice.
You should use "its a 10" for your ends. It works for all hair types. Its like a leave-in & treatment. Its pretty nice.
I have gotten samples of them in bags before but never tried them. But I'm going to now. I would think it would really moisturize my ends and help with tangles. Thanks Eve! Love ya, Melissa
Oh Melissa I swear you are just so beautiful and you have a humble heart too so beauty is more than skin deep with you I love how you care about others love you so much hugs Susie
aw, thank you so much Susie. You are the sweetest person. Lots of love, Melissa
You are more beautiful than a movie star naturally . Thank you for the Conair 2 inch roller video. Life altering for me. LOL Seriously. ☺
Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I am thrilled you like those rollers! I love them, too. I think I'll use them tomorrow! Lol. Love and thanks, Melissa
There is nothing like our fur babies. Praying for Hanna.
Thank you for doing this video. I have been wanting to know how you got your "bump". Thank you Melissa. Always a joy to watch you.
You are so right, Jenn. They are just so much joy for us, aren't they? Oh thank you so much. I sure do love a good bump at my crown! lol. Love, Melissa
both hair and makeup beautiful as ever, also loving the purple top, really suits you x
Your hair looks pretty wavy or straight. I wish my hair wasn't so dry and I could wear it straight more often. I am trying to grow my hair out longer (which is like watching grass grow - slow. Slow, slow) so I baby it by washing at night, letting it air dry to avoid unnecessary heat, and then style it in the morning. Love your hair.
Beautiful. I love your long hair no matter how you wear it. It all looks gorgeous on you. I just had mine cut shorter and now I regret it and wish it was long again. I can't make up my mind lol. Thank you for sharing your hairstyling techniques. You make it look so easy. Love your heart and compassion Melissa. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. I really feel sad for Hannah's loss too. Our fur babies are everything to us and when they're gone our homes feel so empty. They give our lives so much joy. I lost my dog a year and a half ago. Had him for 11 wonderful years, best companion ever and still miss him every day. Our pets are a blessing. Glad you're feeling better. Love and hugs xoxo❤
aw, thank you so very much, Tee! You always are just the kindest of women. It's so hard to know whether to go long or short. There are advantages to both of them. I was so sad to hear about Hannah's baby. It broke my heart. But everyone has been so nice that I hope she has found comfort in that. Oh I am so very sorry to hear of you losing your little guy. It's so difficult. You have such a loving heart, Toula. Love being sent to you, Melissa
Melissa , I remember awhile back when you mentioned about the video that people said you looked bad when you were doing your color. Now who would say Melissa looked bad -ever! I am going to show my colorist your picture- well a video- so she can see how you have your color . It's so natural looking. Thanks bunches for answering ..xoxo
This is my favorite hair style on you! When you slept on it and showed it the next day that is exactly like how mine looks in the morning. I think we have the same hair cut! I appreciate you doing this demo. My hair is so flat in the back but you showed a great way to give it umph! lol... My mom had that same brush. LOL. You are so beautiful and I love your videos!
aw, thanks so much, Dee. I think we have really similar hair, except yours is so much nicer than mine. I absolutely love your hair. I thank you more than I can say and I sure do love you a lot! xxx, Melissa
So gorgeous, Melissa, inside and out. Such an inspiration to me. I'm so very sorry for Hannah. Prayers and hugs to her!
Charlie Simmons thank you so much!
Thank you so much, and you are so sweet. Hannah's story just broke my heart and it's been wonderful how everyone has rallied behind her. You are wonderful. Lots of love, Melissa
Hannah, Charlie is just the sweetest person ever!
Melissa55 thank you, Melissa! This entire community is pretty amazing. We support each other! Awesome women here.
It is wonderful and I am so thankful
All this time I didn't realize how fine your hair is. It's very much like mine. I just thought you had gobs of it and it was naturally full of body. lol! I can actually get a hair bump with your technique without teasing it so much or using a can of hairspray. Thank you!
Beautiful as always, inside and out. You can pull off any hairstyle, stunning curly, wavy or straight! Love love love your makeup! xx
Hello Melissa,I would like to thank you a lot for your videos!. I found you recently on TH-cam and I am so happy!!! Watching you, I understood how I wanna live and look when I reach my 60s. I am a young woman who worries about many things but looking at you I realized that every woman at each stage of live is beautiful!
Oh thank you more than I can say, Anna. That is absolutely the nicest thing I have heard in a long time. It truly touched my heart. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
I bought an antique brush a while back after you mentioned yours in one of your videos. What a great tip! You're so right, it grabs the hair just right. Thanks for sharing!
Oh I am so thrilled, Kathryn. I love that brush. I never could find a modern one that worked as well. Thank you! Love, Melissa
Hannah so sorry you lost your baby...that had to have been devastating. And Melissa you are so sweet and kind to mention Hannah. It's always hard when we lose our fur babies...they are part of our family. Enjoyed the the video...you look good with straight hair but my favorite is when you wear it curly!!! Love ya!
I just feel so bad for Hannah and you are so sweet to say such nice things. aw, thank you so much. I appreciate you more than you know. Love, Melissa
Melissa you are just one fine compassionate and lovely lady. Many blessings to you. You are inspiring and have just a sweet and sincere personality. Beatiful from the inside out!

Oh thank you, Bonnie so much. That really means a lot because I always think I have such bad hair. I just felt to bad for Hannah. She is suffering and that makes me so sad. Thank you again. I am so grateful. Love, Melissa
I use velcro rollers too and LOVE them! I am from GA and with the humid weather I need the extra ooomph!! :-) Melissa your are the such a compassionate person. A true southern belle! My dogs are my babies too. :) Have a great Sunday!
Tracey, I love your hair! Aren't velcro rollers the best? And I will also use them after using a big barrel curling iron and talk about lots of oomph! And I live really close to Georgia! aw, thank you so much. Yes, our pets are our babies for sure. Thank you and much love, Melissa
You make it looks so easy. I have always been hair challenged and my mother was a beautician for many years. That made me so sad to hear about Hannah's fur baby. Glad you are feeling better and you look gorgeous as always. Love you! Carolyn xoxo
aw, thanks, Carolyn. You are NOT hair challenged! You have gorgeous hair. I didn't know your mom was a beautician! I learned more about you today! . I feel so bad for Hannah. Thank you and love you lots, Melissa
Hi Melissa, I'm so sorry to hear about Hanna's dog, so tragic. Hugs to her. Your hair always looks so nice Melissa. xo

aw, I know Hannah is hurting so badly. It tears me up for her. aw, thank you so much. Love you lots, Melissa
I'll pray for you Hannah.
Loved your comments about being a pet owner... my Barkley (also a poodle) is everything to me. Your words were kind and your hair is lovely! I think I am going to try that Root Boost. Is the Morrocanoil one your favorite or are there others you enjoy?
Thanks for the vid. :)
Thank you so much. I felt so bad for Hannah when I read her comment. And poodles are such special little babies, too aren't they? I do like that root boost the best, but I also like the Big Sexy Hair Root pump plus, too. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Great... I will go ahead and try them both... I really appreciate your suggestions.
Poodles are indeed very special. I have been blessed to have Barkley in my life... sometimes I feel like he takes care of me more than I do of him!
Be well and thanks again! -Shell
oxoxoxoxoxox
Your hair is beautiful and your makeup looks very pretty and purple looks good on you also.
Thanks so very much, Faye! You are so sweet. Have a wonderful week. Love, Melissa
I feel so badly for the Hanna you mention. It hurts so much to lose a furry little soul. I really appreciate your caring about others like you do. The fact that you're so pretty is the icing on the cake. I think God danced the day you were born.
Amy My foot thank you so much:)
aw, you are so sweet, Hannah. I just feel so bad for her but I know she is getting comfort reading these comments. Thank you more than I can say! I really appreciate it. Love, Melissa
Oh, Melissa! I was just in the midst of binge watching you, lol! I found you a few days ago ( from watching old Lisalisad1) ...and am hooked! I'm 63, and share so many of your thoughts, and feelings on aging. What a blessing to find you. Xo. Love and best wishes from Michigan! ❤🙋🏼
Oh Cindy thank you more than I can say. Oh girl, you do not look anywhere near your age. You are gorgeous. I am so grateful and touched. Love, Melissa
Melissa, Thank you! I'm still making my way through your posts....💕.must tell you, I call Benedict Cumberbatch my old lady crush! Lol. Carry on, you are truly a beauty inside and out!
Melissa, you have such a kind spirit! I'm so sorry for your loss Hannah. My heart goes out to you! Thanks Melissa for this tutorial. I will be trying this & see how it goes. I have to wash my hair at night or I also feel that it is too much rushing to get ready to go to work in the morning. Hope you are having a good weekend! Hugs~Peggy
Thank you so much, Peggy. Reading Hannah's comment just really got to me. And the response for her has been wonderful. I really hope it helps ease her sorrow to know others are thinking of her. Love and thanks, Melissa
Melissa, thanks for doing this and yet again you touch our hearts with your humble heart and beauty. I love you girl! xoxoxo Mary
aw, Mary, now you are going to make my eyes leak! Sniff. Darn allergies! Love you girl. Melissa
WOW! So gorgeous. We are "night shampooers" lol. Saves so much time in the morning. This look is flawless - and that little bit of lift at the crown is to die for! Will have to try that Root Boost. - xoxo, Carla and Cindy (2 Real Chicks)
aw, thanks so much, C and C!!! I am just discovering the joys of night shampooing and man alive, do you ever save time! aw, thank you so much. Take care and lots of love, Melissa
I am right with you Melissa.......I need the pouf too!!! I sleep with two large rollers in my hair and spray them with hairspray and shoot them with heat also. And Ta Da.....the pouf!!!! Have a wonderful week!!!
Hey Linda, I just have to have some height at the crown. Love the bump. Oh I have done a roller at the crown at night, too. I think you get the best bump that way. Thanks so much! Love, Melissa
It seems that so many have lost their fur babies...So sad..I feel bad for Hannah.. On another note you did your hair so beautiful!! I always love how you tease it before you roll it...I have never done that..Very clever!! xoxoxoxo you!! Carol
It is so sad when they pass away. And you are the sweetest person. Thank you more than I can say for my goodies. I am so grateful to you. I sent you a text! I love you, Melissa
Hi Melissa thank you..i got your text and I texted back.. :)xoxoxo CAROL
Looks beautiful!! Your hair always looks great!!❤
You are so beautiful Melissa, it really blows my mind how youthful and just stunning you continue to get with every video. Your eye make up lately has really been making your eyes glow such a pretty blue and they almost sparkle. I love the purple on you, and you really inspire me to get my hot rollers out every so often and experiment with them and get the volume I like. Your hair looks so beautiful. Thanks for the video
aw, thank you so much, AnnaNicole! Believe me, I get older by the day, but I appreciate your comment so much. I have been using that Urban Decay Smoky every day and I really like the way it does with my eyes, so thank you! I hope this weekend is wonderful for you. Love, Melissa
I understand the sympathy for those who love dogs! I had to put down my beautiful golden retriever this year and it felt like my heart got ripped out! Thanks for your kindness Melissa as well as the tutorial, lovely as usual : )
Oh I am so so sorry for this. Yes, that is a good way to explain it. Your heart feels like it is ripped out. Thank you and bless you for loving your baby so much. Love, Melissa
Love your hair Melissa...I have naturally curly hair too, I'll have to try your tips and tricks to tame my hair. You are such a kind and sensitive person!! I look forward to your videos!!
What a kind comment! I can't thank you enough. I love it when I wear my hair wavy, but it's nice to be able to wear it straight, too. I am so grateful for you being so nice. Have a wonderful week. Love, Melissa
I'm so sorry Hannah, for the loss of your beloved Poodle! Pets are Family! Having lost a couple Pets yrs ago, I certainly know that Heartache! Hugs to you! Melissa you look gorgeous!!! I always love your Videos and all you share!
That was so very kind of you to say that to Hannah. I hope she reads here and realizes we are all thinking of her. And thank you for the compliment! Love, Melissa
52lovelight thank you so much, it means so much to me that so many people care.
Melissa, you are such a sweetheart. Loved watching you do your hair. You cannot do any thing wrong in my eyes. I feel so bad for Hannah..When you lose your little fur baby it's like losing your child if you're a pet lover.. We have to pray for her Melissa. TFS.. Have a restful Sunday. Hugs and love, Mary xoxo
Mary Reed thank you so much for your words and prayers, they mean everything to me.
Hannah Wiggins Aww , for sure. God bless xoxo
Thankyou Melissa for showing your straight hair look. Love ❤️ it. You look beautiful xxx
That is so kind of you to say, Silvia. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
I see several comments here asking for you to do a hair color video & as I was watching this I was thinking that too! My hair is platinum now & I have been talking with my stylist about bringing in some golden tones ,so I would love to hear how does your colorist do your color. I love your long hair , I'm growing mine again after my platinum pixie period last spring & summer .
I was saddened to hear about your subscriber Hannah's sudden tragedy , but the outpouring of comfort in the comments here do keep me believing that there is love & compassion abounding out there in our world👼 Bless you, ..xoxo 💞
Hey Linda. I did do a hair video, but it was at the end of the day, my makeup had worn off, I was tired, looked like you know what and when people saw it they kept commenting at how old and unattractive I looked, so I was so embarrassed that I took it down. If I had any nerve I would put it back up again and say to heck with the people that said I looked bad!
Here is the formula my friend uses on my hair. It's foreign to me, but maybe it will make sense to you:
Redken level 8 ash series and foil highlights of Redken level 7 bleach w 40 vol.
Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
I love your videos, and your hair looks good curly or straight I think its because you have such pretty face 😘😘😘
Looks lovely Melissa.
After blow drying we have what I call "lion hair!" From there we get gorgeous. I have never used the big rollers, so your demonstration was so helpful, thank you! I'm trying it.
lol, I love lion hair! It reminds me of curly hair in the 70's that when you brushed it, it would be all frizzy and big. lol. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Lovely hi lights. I bought a paddle brush like yours at an antique shop. Yours looks vintage but may not be. Love your videos.
aw, thank you so much! I love my brush. I think it's vintage, but I'm not sure. I got it about 15 years ago or more on eBay. It looks really damaged now. Thank you! Melissa
Just found your channel and been watching some this afternoon. You are so pretty and no wrinkles!! I am 62 and I have many wrinkles!!! Love your channel, your personality, and enjoy watching the videos of you and your husband. Love the doggie too!!! So cute!! I subscribed and keep up the good work!! Hugs!
Rachel that really does mean so very much to me. I love our hope TH-cam community of mature women. I get inspired daily from everyone. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
Gorgeous hair! Thanks for some good tips. I swear I hear crickets etc in the background! Love that as I think of summer!!
Oh thank you so much! I wouldn't be surprised if you heard crickets. It has turned so warm here that I think everything is coming back to life! Thank you! Melissa
Such a helpful video. Thank you. Perhaps you could do more vlog videos. I would love to see you out and about. Also, could you please show a video of your lighting set up, where you sit, etc. You are truly lovely. hugs from Hawaii.
Oh thank you so much! I sure will show my set up. A word of warning, it's pretty basic. A Sony camera, a ring light and two just regular furniture lamps. lol.
I have tried blogging before and I felt like I was terrible at it. I think there is a knack and I'm not sure I have it. I don't feel like I'm a very interesting person.! But I can't thank you enough for asking.
Much love,
Melissa
First off, don't we all wish we had Tammy's & Swoozie's hair! I had very thick hair for a long time. Heredity & medications made me have a lot of hair thinning. I love my Velcro rollers! They're the only thing that gives me a good hairdo. I never flat iron my hair because I don't look good in straight hair. You look gorgeous in any style. It's heartbreaking to lose a pet. I lost a poodle from him being stubborn & getting hit by a car. He was let out to pee & decided to go out on the road for a walk. When I called him he tossed his head & then a car came right around the corner & hit him. It was late at night & of course the driver didn't stop. I know Hannah's heartbreak & I'm so sorry for her. Love your straight hairstyle. Your so beautiful inside & out. God bless you Melissa & love you, Lucy
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you. Yes, it was so helpful. I appreciate your hard work in preparing this and all of ur other videos. Thx Nancy
aw, thanks so much, Nancy. I really appreciate it. Love, Melissa
I so enjoy your videos! You are beautiful! If only we could all emulate your sweet, kind, and compassionate personality, the world would be a better place!
aw, thank you so much! That is so kind. Much love, Melissa
I so love watching your videos. Your voice and demeanor give me such peace. Thank you for sharing your beauty knowledge :)
That is so kind of you to say! I worry about people understanding my accent. lol. I appreciate this. Love, Melissa
Oh no, I love your accent! PS: I love seeing when people love animals, I still miss my Maltese boy... it's so hard. That was sweet of you to mention her in your video. Sending you a big hug Melissa!
aw, I'm so sorry about your baby. Thank you for this. And hugs back to you! Love, Melissa
Your beauty is inside and out! God bless you!
Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
Hi Melissa I am a new subbie over 60 and I am so glad that I stumbled across your channel. I too love that bump on the top of my hair. Thank you so much for sharing how you do it. Oh! and by the way you are gorgeous!!!!
Oh Joyce, thank you so much. You gotta love the bump!!! lol Many thanks and lots of love, Melissa
Melissa55 Oh Melissa! I do love the bump. I have tried your technique and it worked beautifully. Thank you so much for replying. I really love your channel, I am so glad I found you. Hugsxoxo
Oh I am so thrilled Joyce. Yay for the bump! I am so thankful to you for watching. !!!
Wow! This is so informative! Im a hot mess with a flat iron. For some reason straight hair looks terrible on me. I would love to be able to wear my hair straight. The top of my hair so heavy I don't know if I can get the bump thing going and it's so thick through and my crown and I have such a little forhead that my hair would never stay out of my face like that like yours does. I'm so jelly I can't do this style.
Hey Beth! You hair is so pretty! My friend that does my hair does have to layer the area around my crown because I do like to wear that bump a lot. That way a lot of the weight is taken off. She puts long layers in it. Oh don't be jealous about this style, you have that thick gorgeous hair that I would give anything to have! Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
I love the way you did your bump!! I can't wait to try it!
Thank you so much, Brenda! I really appreciate it. Love, Melissa
You look as pretty as ever.... thank you for doing hair tutorials they have actually helped me a lot... That is one of my major struggles. by the way, I went to try on Tom Ford's Spanish Rose and OMG! I fell in love with it! I was going to buy it on the spot but they were sold out! I will definitely be ordering it from Beautylish.
aw, thank you so much. I actually just filmed a hair tutorial that turned out just terrible! It was so boring I couldn't even edit it. lol. Oh I'm so glad you like the Tom Ford lipstick. It's so beautiful. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
Hey Melissa. My hair does better when I do it all in the morning, but I don't have time for that most days, so I do just what you did in this video. As I was watching, I was thinking about all the hub bub on social media about how good Christy Brinkley looks at 63 and how everyone is saying it's not possible without out plastic surgery. I know that it is possible from watching your videos and think you look every bit as good as she does! Have a great week.
Oh Kristina, you have made my day! I can't thank you enough.
To be honest, my hair looks much better if I do it in the morning. In fact, I kind of wish I had filmed this with morning washed hair instead of evening. But we are all so busy, it's hard to have the time to do it.
Thank you again for your kindness. I really appreciate it. Love, Melissa
You put Long Island Medium to shame with your bump, just teasing, no pun intended, lol. I wish she'd get a new do and lose that 80's hair, but you look gorgeous as always!!
Hey Irma. So I went to look her up! Girlfriend has the bump going doesn't she? Lol I gotta say, I bow down to her. She sure can get some good height at the crown! Lol. Love you lots and lots, and thank you! Melissa
I have short hair so this doesn't pertain to me but I just love watching you, your smile ohs infectious and you just makes smile.I wish I could have long hair but its to hard for me with my hands and its also thin from my lupus looks thicker shorter.I'm going to have to try and get that lipstick you are wearing, so beautiful but then if you used crayola crayons it would still look great.How kind of you to mention the woman who lost her dog and of course I am crying. I love my cat like she is my child, they are family and losing them hurts so badly I'm so sorry for that woman, what a tragic situation. You have such a good heart, its for real,no pretense there. xoCathy
aw, thank you so much, Cathy! I love short hair and it really suits you so much. And it's so easy! And your hair always looks terrific.
You are just so sweet! I just felt so bad for Hannah and my heart broke for her. Yes, they are family. She will grieve for a long time for her baby. Thank you, Cathy! Lots of love, Melissa
Hi Melissa! I am heart broken for Hanna. It's so sad. Our pets mean so much to us. I am thinking of her. Your hair is beautiful Melissa and I enjoyed watching how you style it straight. My hair is much shorter, but I will try your tips for getting volume into the crown. Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend. Hugs,xoxo Daphne 💖💖
Daphne C thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words.
I think you are so pretty, and really like your hair I used to have long hair and really miss it.
Thank you, Kimberly!!! I think their are advantages to both. Short hair is so easy! Thank you and much love, Melissa
Melissa, I love your tutorials, my hair is naturally curly but I still take away tips!!! Love ya! xo Lori
That is so sweet, Lori! Thank you so much. Love you back. xxx, Melissa
Melissa your such a beautiful woman.... and genuinely kind I love watching your videos your really inspire me 😀
That is so very sweet, Amanda. Thank you more than I can say. Love, Melissa
Just beautiful! 💖
What would your hair look like straight if you did not put the bump on top? You have the kindest heart. The comment about the lady loosing her poodle made me cry. I have lost both my little bischons and I loved them like my children. God Bless you for caring.
aw, thank you so much! Doug thinks it looks nice without the bump. He just loves it blown out and left alone, no hairspray or bump or anything. I think it's what I'm used to. I'll appear in a video without the bump sometime and see what you think.
Oh I'm so sorry about the loss of your babies. Yes, you loved them like children. They don't ask much of us. Just for us to love them and they give their all to us in return. Thank you and I send you so much love, Melissa
I love how you do the tease part and have a bump, I have wanted to try and do that, also need a blow dryer as I air dry mine for so long. Thanks for sharing Melissa , you always look so beautiful have a wonderful weekend love and blessings xoxox
Love your hairstyles. Very inspiring!
Loved seeing how you got the height/bump in your hair. Now, see, I am always coveting your hair, especially the height you get in your hair. Every time I see you, I want that in my style, but, for some weird reason, I'm afraid to really go for it and just do it. I think I worry that it'll be too much or I would look silly. Maybe I just need to have you come over and style me up so that I can have that Melissa look. LOL. xoxo, Swoozie PS. Thanks for mentioning, once again. Love you. 💖
You could never look silly. You are absolutely beautiful! And you have the best hair ever. There is nothing that you could ever do to your hair that would make it not be beautiful. Love you back! You are the best. Love, Melissa
This was such a great video! I am convinced that straight hair is younger looking! Thank you for a clear easy tutorial. It looks as if you have two layers in your hair to get the height. Will try it! Also like to shampoo at night😄
Oh thank you so very much!
To be honest my hair looks much better if I shampoo in the morning but it's so hard to hurry up and get it done and out the door on time. It gets oilier faster if I do it at night, but something you just have to. Thank you so much! Love, Melissa
I'm enjoying the Herbal Essence "Smooth" shampoo and conditioner your recommended ... it smells wonderful and my hair feels so silky! Smiles, Stella
Isn't that a great shampoo and conditioner. And you just can't beat the price. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
