Its because they dontmention when they notice it if u notice ur hair dont look good 3/4 days agter u washed ur hair i guess uts just normal ! It means ure a human being having activities haha it just dries out get frizzier ! So if she means she notices it js’ust agter washin yeah i get it.. it cant be perfert everyday ...
I was literally just about to put on a protein hair mask but then watched this video. I did the hair test and it broke each time... Gonna go buy a moisturizing mask now...
This was so helpful! Your curls are absolutely STUNNING! I started my curly journey this year after 16 years of relaxing and keratin treatments so half of my hair is straight from damage and the other half is my virgin boricua curls. Videos like this help me SO MUCH! I also love manes by mel. I would love to see more curly routines 🥰
Sometimes i wish i was just born with straight hair, my hair is just so tough to deal with. The frizz and the straight parts in the back never go away but then the front looks good. Im kinda just lost
Aww I totally get you girl, I actually have straight-ish hair is a bit frizzy, I wishhh I had curly hair, it's so beautiful lolll. I used to get some curl in my hair, espec at the back but I think that was just because I wasn't conditioning the back of my hair properly and it kind of was scrunched by sitting on my neck and hood when it dried sooo ahahah. I need to find an actual curl gel though and perhaps do something about the protein since it snaps pretty easily. I'm using flaxseed gel and it just doesn't seem to hold much for me. Love your curly hair though it's absolutely beautiful, I know for a fact other people are thinking that heheh xxx
I always have those wavy ish parts in the back and u can always wet them after ur hair dries and just finger coil them (if u have any product, use it) and they should look just as cute as the rest of ur hair ❤
Baby me: Straight hair Toddler me: Ringlets Child me: Big curly/wavy hair Pre teen me: Frizzy straight hair I'm upset at whatever happened to my hair :((
to be fair, it may be damage but it may also be simply hormones. Example: As a child my hair was pin straight, 1A. As I reached puberty my hair became "puffy" and only saw its waves and some curls when I let it grow. Basically it can be damage, but it can also just be puberty making changes
If you think your hair is “frizzy straight hair” it’s just curly hair that doesn’t have enough moisture. Mine was the same until I learned how to take care of it. You need a LOT of leave in conditioner and a light gel and you’ll probably be all set.
my curls are actually just like yours but my roots looks almost straight and my hair has no volume at all and i have very thin hair ive lost sm in the last 2 years so it looks like my hair got less curly idk what to do my curls looks 2c now when I was younger it was 3a/b my hair cut is straight would it get better if i get layers? i feel like layers wouldn't look good on me because i don't have much hair
Hi my curls are similar in ways. I have straighter/ straight slightly wavy roots as well. I have also been loosing hair for the last couple of years so my hair looks thinner now. I have a fine texture of hair. Personally I find when I have more layers and bangs my hair has more volume, looks thicker and lays better. The curls also look better.
Ah this is so helpful, why is taking care of curly hair like science in high school lol. Anyway gonna look for some protein product next time I'm in a drug store (cause in my country Shea Moisture is sooo expensive), thank you for the video
Kiara Etsuko oh you don’t really have to use specific brands. Go to manes by mel’s video and she says which ingredients are good if you need protein. The only ingredient I can remember is keratin.
Do u guys have Hask there cause here it’s cheap and they have a Keratin line and a Biotin line that are good they also have tons of spray leave ins that are great!! I use the Keratin one daily..it makes my curls curlier! 👍🏾
I've been seeing a lot of curly haired people showing or talking about Mel. I'm so glad she's getting the recognition she deserves as I feel she's really transformed my hair care routine for the better! I also have to say I've stumbled upon your videos many times and I love them, it's really great watching someone like us (Not hairstylists or professionals) talking about these difficult concepts. PS: Your hair looks wonderful 🖤
@Gal Pal thank you i wanna ask a question but i don't know if you will know the answer should i cut my hair short or all the way off to make it curlier
I'm confused, because my hair is pretty low porosity, it has literally no elasticity, but I still fit into the signs of over moisturized hair. So confusing 😭
Is it possible you could have your porosity wrong? I did! Lol. And I got moisture overload. Ugh. Finding the balance has been a see-saw! There's a test on naturallycurly.com/quiz
I'm a guy, after so many wrong advices and practices I finaly stumbled upon your channel. And I've never this satisfied in a long long time. You brought another level of confidence and happiness in life. Thank you.
I tried that elasticity test and the strand just broke and I barely stretched it. And all this time I was using protein because I thought that this is what I needed. I think you just saved my hair lol
I'm glad you figure things out. I love Manes by Mel also and have been following her. I'm still making all kinds of adjustments because I'm coming to realize that I have combination hair. Different types from the back to the front and some with different porosity, but im mostly high porosity all around...some hairs super moisture overload (lacking protein) while others look great. Luckily more look great than not, but finding the balance is a weekly project. I like the idea of having a styler with protien and am hearing that more. I used the shea moisture styler you recommended in the past, but I may have not done it right bc I didnt seem to like and used it for my son instead which it worked well for. I will need to revisit. Im learning a lot! Thanks for the video!!
To answer your queatuon: when you have high porosity hair its usually from heat(tools,sun), hair color/treatments, styling damage etc. That's why Mel said your hair is damaged but balanced in the chart. Also when you have true hygral fatigue the only way to fix is is to cut it off. So you were lucky that it wasn't completely overloaded and reversed it before it was to late. But it's so hard to tell what your hair needs and how much is enough sometimes. Ugh. great video
your curls are so stunning jayme! i love the shea moisture mask, it’s my favorite!! it’s also 3am but i couldn’t miss this video lol. thank you for all the work you put into your content🤍
For people who cannot get this masks bc it's not shipped to there country, it's expensive for them or they just want something 100% natural: Avocado, egg, honey and olive oil Bouncy juicy soft curls
It will hardly work. Proteins in products are hydrolized, meaning they have been broken down so that they can penetrate the cuticle, or sometimes are directly just aminoacids, even smaller. Neither simple egg or avocado will provide proteins that are small enough to do this.
I am not expert in chimistry. But I have tried it as a mask. My curls weren't defined and my hair was frizzy. I can say that my hair have never looked that perfect before. Even my colleagues (boys) noticed and were asking what did you do to your hair. I still have some parts of my hair that are straight because maybe they are damaged, but it definitely helped my curls. My mom was using egg for her hair and it was always shiny and healthy. Products may be better for all the reasons you told and I agree with you.
I hate to ask this but I always zone out during these videos. I’ll keep it playing so she gets the benefit, but can someone tell me concisely how she went from the first photo to the second one?
i'm so confused, like I have some things of moisture and protein overload but I always use a lot of moisture in my hair and isn't doing good lately so idk if I need moisture or protein? :(
Coconut or any coconut derivative seems to be a huge problem for me. Worse is that virtually every product has it listed in the top 4 ingredients and many hair products have it listed as 2, 3, and 4. I don’t understand this coconut craze. It’s not the best for skin either but it’s in everything.
@Ammaarah Gardee I just cut nearly 4” off myself. I used Joico “moisture recovery” shampoo and conditioner 3 times, I am so mad at myself that I did it again and fell for the title and not the ingredients and the same happened to me. My curls also turned to a very dry, very dull 2 looking pattern. I was happy with Shea moisture low porosity line and they discontinued it 😢. I am having a very hard time finding replacements with no protein and no coconut.
Hi Jayme Jo,and all you curly girls! I Know I am SO, SO, Blessed to be a Curly Boy !!!!!! I have only found You this week , but I have already learned a lot , My hair tends to get "greasy" so quick ? So I do have to wash & style every day for it to be at it's Best! Any ideas? I DO Love your relaxed friendly style of your videos! And Your HAIR !!!!!!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!! Love You All , Curly Boy Simon, xxx
i think for you its best to see if you have a greasy or dry scalp. its simple for dry scalp you need more moisturizing products and for a more oily scalp you need more deep cleaning products, but it shouldn’t stop you from using moisture and protein. if you don’t use moisture and you only constantly use a clarifying wash your scalp is gonna produce oil so it can hydrate itself. i hope to have informed you a bit! :)
Also make sure you’re not using more product than necessary! My hair gets greasy faster if I put product too close to my roots or if I use more than one gel/mousse near my roots! There’s a lot of trial and error 😅
@@syouss3485 Hi,thanks for that,I do use a more deeper cleaning product - but I make sure not to over "dry out" and do use a conditioner -when needed. But I do find that if I use one product / manufacturer for a time my hair seems to "get used to it" -and then improves by using something by a different manufacturer for a time i.e. "Mix them up" a little? It seems to work ! I will try your advice and let you know, Love You, S. xxx
@@natalies4751 Hi, Yes Natalie, I think you have found part of the "problem" I must admit I do use more product than maybe I really need to ! Also I will be more careful not to get any too close to my roots ! Thanks, Love Ya, S. xxx
I think my hair is what yours used to be (moisture overload?) my hair is weighed down and gets so messy easily and has not much volume. And it gets frizzy and it’s soft.
Pleaseeeee help me someone. Ive watched so many videos on moisture overload or protein overload videos but i still cant figure out which one i have. Somethings not right with my hair but i have things from both so i dont know which one it is. Im two months into the curly girl method, so i know my hairs probably still transitioning but i need help 🥺 atm its frizzy, i have perfect ringlets at the front of my head but the back has no definition, just pure frizzy volume, not the type of volume i want 😩 it feels limp, has no elasticity. I try a moisture rich conditioner and it weighs it down ( my hair is super thick and not much weighs it down so its kinda scary that it turns my 3A-3B curls into 2B waves) but then i try a protein rich conditioner and my whole hair has no definition, and is just a frizzy mess. I end up having to gel my hair probably twice a week, which is annoying because then im having to clarify more often because of all the buildup. Its really soft, like too soft, thats what making it feel so limp, but at the same time its really straggly. Please someone, anyone help me 😭😭 im still not even sure what porosity hair i have. I tried the water strand test n it sunk, so i thought okay, its high porosity but every single person whos seen my hair has told me it looks and seems like i have low porosity hair.
Ugh I always have like three curls in the back that are like 3a when the rest of my hair 3c so you can imagine how crazy it looks. I usually use Bobby pins to make it look shorter but it’s so annoying
wait you said you had a protein overload in the before picture , but then said you used a protein mask the next day. shouldn’t we be using more moisture if we have a protein overload?
Ok, so I did a hydrating mask, and it made my hair super oily. I’m gonna try a protein mask because by the description, I have a moisture overload. I was thinking my frizzy and limp hair was because I didn’t have enough moisture. This video was very helpful thank you 🙏
@@oceanenahle1600 Mell has a different way of testing porosity. Check the same vid with the chart. I think she takes a dry curl with no product on it (which is a state of hair i never have) and spraying it with some water, and seeing if the hair absorbs the water. She said the floating hair thing isn't the best.
Great informative video, but a little confused with how to move forward with my hair. Because during the stretch test it snaps as if it needs moisture. But my whole head of hair fits the description as if it has a moisture overload already, so what do! D:
Hey, soo my curls went through a lot, i have been natural for 5 years, 4 of them i had dreads, my hair looks healthy and it bounced back pretty quickly, i have 2c/3a hair,but i just can´t understand what it wants from me anymore! it doesn´t strech and it is frizzy, doesn´t hold, my curl pattern looks so dull, it weights down a lot, but it hates moisture, so I just can´t understand what to do ahah, my top hair is 3a and the lower half is 2c, and it´s a really disfunctional mane, I´ve tried everything and still appears to be getting worse, if somebody could help I would be really grateful. love
Alexandra Marques Im the same way!!! I’m still trying to understand it and I’m a hair dresser 🤦🏻♀️ what I’ve kind of learned too is that my hair doesn’t like to be too long or it weighs down the curls a lot, don’t know how long yours is but for me that’s why the top of my hair is curlier- because it’s cut in layers and therefore shorter and less heavy
@@anj3495 thank you for answering x)) I've tried that, and it did work, everything was curlier and lighter, but still it didn't change much, now it's a little bit past my shoulders, because I'm trying to grow it out, still has layers and I guess imma just try to keep it healthy, thank you ❤️
Aleksandra Lempart as in clarifying shampoo?? I don’t recommend that to be used every single wash, it’ll dry out her hair. Once a week yes but i doubt that’s what’s causing her curls to get frizzy.
i’m so thankful for this video! this is EXACTLY what my hair NEEDED 😩 I literally watched your video, went & got the same product, used it this morning & my hair is already coming back to life! 🙌🏼 🥰
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. God sent his only begotten Son so that you can have everlasting life. Place your faith in Jesus. Trust Jesus. Jesus Christ. Jesus saves. Jesus conqueres. Calvary Cross. The Blood. Salvation. Gospel. Heaven God bless you all
This was so helpful! I‘ve been using high moisture products for years now and i wondered why my hair became so flat and straight at the roots. I ordered the exact same products. To be honest i think my hair would look exactly like yours if the protein & moisture uptake would be balanced. I‘m looking forward to trying the new products 😍
My hair is very protein sensitive! When I do my Shea moisture protein mask I have to also do my moisture mask by Mielle or Carols daughter to balance ! Same with products I have to do moisture|protein|moisture
Mine is so crazy. Like it stretches to infinity but it doesn’t fall off but it doesn’t come back either. (Only if I pull two singular strands will it break.) But I know I need some protein in my hair 😭. I’ve only been using moisturizing products because my hair looks dull. It’s definitely time for protein treatments.
I used to have really really curly hair when I was a kid. Since I’ve been a teen, it slowly started to get less and less curly. Now I’m 23 to and it’s wavy on most days and on my best days I have low defined curls / a loose pattern. It’s so frustrating. I also have short hair so i feel like using the de man brush correctly is hard. I also use a curly hair cream after shower and a hair gel. I basically scrunch my hair with each products after washing my hair. Sometimes I diffuse but it doesn’t change much thing apart from volume. And I’ve never suffered from heat damage on my hair. It’s just really sad and depressing idk what to do🥺
i’ve gone through a ton of hair changes in my 14 years and personally i think your hair type is changing which is totally normal. there’s a possibility of your curls coming back so for now keep using sulfate and silicon free shampoos and conditioners and keep taking care of it as you usually do
This whoooole story is exactly the reason why I hate my curls 😢 I can never get it right, nothing works and it’s soooo much work and costs so much money. Just give me straight hairrr, coming out of the shower and look normal instead of a birds nest wwhaaa! I LOVE your videos tho, don’t get me wrong. But I think curls are so much work and annoying…and all these products ppfff I will keep following you, maybe someday I will be happy with my hair….maybe…I’m 40 so…don’t know if it will ever happen 🤣
I just want to chime in with the protein overload- make sure you do a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up of keratin/protein before starting the moisturizing treatments. It is more recommended to go to a salon for a clarifying treatment but if not kinky curly makes a gentle CG friendly clarifying shampoo. Curlsmith also has a clarifying line if you want more high end products. I've also read you can do an apple cider vinegar mix, but my concern is it is too acidic and will mess with scalp ph/dry your hair out completely
I’ve been using Hask Keratin shampoo which has great protein and I use their Argon Oil line conditioner which is pretty moisturizing and so far so good. I also like L’Oréal ElVive protein recharge leave in. I really wanna get more body and curl at my roots cause the roots mostly around the front are limp and I hate that and I know it wasn’t always like this.
Thing is, my hair fits the description of moisture overload but i’m scared of using a protein product since over a year ago i bought the shea moisture jamaican black castor oil strengthen and restore leave-in conditioner w/ shea butter, peppermint and Keratin and from the first use, my hair was super hard to untangle and felt super rough for a couple weeks after even when i didn’t use it again so i’m scared of that happening again and i’ve only been buying moisturizing products but clearly that’s too much for my hair so how could i healthily balance it out?
UPDATE: thanks Jaymeee it workeddd, i used the leave in as mentioned earlier and my tighter curls are frizz free and sooo definedddd as they’ve never been, i used the black castor oil shea moisture shampoo and the fructis 1 min mask treatment (that i use as a conditioner) and then when i got out the shower i didn’t even finger comb any of my curls and they came out looking bombbb except i blow dried it too much with no diffuser so the less tighter curls got frizzy but in general the ones that were starting to fall limp got their hold back 🥰🥰 i’m happyyy
Hey i watched your video i am a little confused if anyone can help me, my curly hair is flat from roots and my curls are just flat the next day, i did the hair pull test some of my hair strands stretched a little and then snapped but some immediately snapped do i need protein or moisture i think i should balance them both ig??
i’ve been trying to understand how to balance them for a while now and this definitely helped clear things up and hopefully will steer me closer to my hair goals. I believe I have low porosity hair and for a while had been putting too much protein in my hair so then i started to use products that didn’t contain much protein and feel like my hair was getting better but some protein overload damage was still there (i now know this but at the time didn’t realize) and i thought it was me needing more protein but i feel like the products with protein were just making my hair dry and hay like. I def think i’ll go back to the low porosity products with barely any protein but I feel as if i need a good hydrating mask for moisture, any suggestions??
I cant figure out why the bottom half of my hair is super curly and the top isnt i dont know if its because it has more damage? So i usually end up straightening it all and its all damaged i want to embrace my curls though. Im trying to go no heat to see if that helps.
I think I've got moisture overload. I used to really not take care of my hair at all, I never even conditioned, but a few months ago I switched to the CGM. With every wash I was getting better and better results, but then in the past month it's gone way down. My hair goes limp so quickly after I unplop, my roots are flat, and my curls are like non-existent. I tried a clarifying wash today and my hair does feel a lot better, but its still so flat and stretchy. I'm gonna get this product you recommended! I dont want to mess with my usual routine yet as it's been going really well for around 5 months, but I think doing a clarifying wash and a protein treatment like once a month should help keep me on top of it all!
I agree! Porosity is extremely important how you care for your hair and many people don't understand that. Even in the 80s hairdressers didn't recommend hair treatments based on porosity
I don’t know how to do the hair strand test properly I mean I did it and it stretched and stretched but I don’t know if I stretched it too much and it snapped because I stretched it too much or what I don’t know if I have a low or poor someone help
I'm so thankful for this video! I have low porosity hair and apparently a moisture overload too. My curls right now just stretch and die. Also, my hair is super frizzy! (and other videos just told me it was because of lack of moisture) I now know that I need protein in my routine. Again, Thank you so much for these tips!
Such a HUGE help and I thank you so much! I follow Manes by Mell and she is one of my faves! I have low porosity hair as well and taking notes from YOU! Keep these videos coming girl! Xoxoxo
I have dry and damaged (broken) hair at the top of my hair The front hair near the hairline I can never put my hair in a ponytail without dividing the front part in two If I push everything to the back then there is a lot of dry damaged hair sticking out like antennas
my hair actually looks limp and lifeless just like how yours did before. i just recently bought a whole new hair care setup to add some protein into my hair while retaining some moisture. might give myself a month or two to test everything to see if my curls come back to life. thanks for the video!
My hair is so confusing. I don’t get it.
So it’s not just me. Lol. Ugh
Same I wish somebody would just look at my hair... give me a hair routine and products tailored for my hair so I don’t need to figure it out lol!
Girl same! About to go bald any second lol
Me too! I wish someone looked at mine and told me all that "porosity and stuff", then I'll figure out what products I need...😁
Its because they dontmention when they notice it if u notice ur hair dont look good 3/4 days agter u washed ur hair i guess uts just normal ! It means ure a human being having activities haha it just dries out get frizzier ! So if she means she notices it js’ust agter washin yeah i get it.. it cant be perfert everyday ...

That’s so great, honestly amazingly explained ... just needed a simple breakdown explaining protein & moisture 🙌❤️💎
porosity has to do with the hair cuticle- the outer layer of the hair strand not the folicle which is where your hair grows out from.
To answer your queatuon: when you have high porosity hair its usually from heat(tools,sun), hair color/treatments, styling damage etc. That's why Mel said your hair is damaged but balanced in the chart.
Also when you have true hygral fatigue the only way to fix is is to cut it off. So you were lucky that it wasn't completely overloaded and reversed it before it was to late. But it's so hard to tell what your hair needs and how much is enough sometimes. Ugh. great video
your curls are so stunning jayme! i love the shea moisture mask, it’s my favorite!! it’s also 3am but i couldn’t miss this video lol. thank you for all the work you put into your content🤍
For people who cannot get this masks bc it's not shipped to there country, it's expensive for them or they just want something 100% natural:
Avocado, egg, honey and olive oil
Bouncy juicy soft curls
It will hardly work. Proteins in products are hydrolized, meaning they have been broken down so that they can penetrate the cuticle, or sometimes are directly just aminoacids, even smaller. Neither simple egg or avocado will provide proteins that are small enough to do this.
I am not expert in chimistry. But I have tried it as a mask. My curls weren't defined and my hair was frizzy. I can say that my hair have never looked that perfect before. Even my colleagues (boys) noticed and were asking what did you do to your hair. I still have some parts of my hair that are straight because maybe they are damaged, but it definitely helped my curls.
My mom was using egg for her hair and it was always shiny and healthy.
Products may be better for all the reasons you told and I agree with you.
@@flaviopons142 bullshit. What do you think your ancestors did before they had products
This makes perfect sense!! I have fuzzy hair, there's no hold, etc UGH This makes sense THANK YOU!!!
You hair is a goal❤❤
I hate to ask this but I always zone out during these videos. I’ll keep it playing so she gets the benefit, but can someone tell me concisely how she went from the first photo to the second one?
She had a moisture overload. Protein mask helped.
Been waiting for this!! Your hair looks stunning 😍😍 definitely gonna try this out!
thanks!!!!
hmm.. listening to what ur hair may look like if u have a protein and moisture overload.. it sounds like i have both like i get both of the things
i'm so confused, like I have some things of moisture and protein overload but I always use a lot of moisture in my hair and isn't doing good lately so idk if I need moisture or protein? :(
Protein have different molecules, choosing the right sort of protein is also something to keep in mind:)
Coconut or any coconut derivative seems to be a huge problem for me. Worse is that virtually every product has it listed in the top 4 ingredients and many hair products have it listed as 2, 3, and 4. I don’t understand this coconut craze. It’s not the best for skin either but it’s in everything.
@Ammaarah Gardee I just cut nearly 4” off myself. I used Joico “moisture recovery” shampoo and conditioner 3 times, I am so mad at myself that I did it again and fell for the title and not the ingredients and the same happened to me. My curls also turned to a very dry, very dull 2 looking pattern. I was happy with Shea moisture low porosity line and they discontinued it 😢. I am having a very hard time finding replacements with no protein and no coconut.
@Ammaarah Gardee thank you so much for the product reference ❤️❤️ I’m going to track that one down!
I just don't know what to do with my hair anymore. I give up.
Try out new products !
Hi Jayme Jo,and all you curly girls! I Know I am SO, SO, Blessed to be a Curly Boy !!!!!!
I have only found You this week , but I have already learned a lot ,
My hair tends to get "greasy" so quick ? So I do have to wash & style every day for it to be at it's Best!
Any ideas? I DO Love your relaxed friendly style of your videos!
And Your HAIR !!!!!!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!!
Love You All , Curly Boy Simon, xxx
i think for you its best to see if you have a greasy or dry scalp.
its simple for dry scalp you need more moisturizing products and for a more oily scalp you need more deep cleaning products, but it shouldn’t stop you from using moisture and protein.
if you don’t use moisture and you only constantly use a clarifying wash your scalp is gonna produce oil so it can hydrate itself. i hope to have informed you a bit! :)
Also make sure you’re not using more product than necessary! My hair gets greasy faster if I put product too close to my roots or if I use more than one gel/mousse near my roots! There’s a lot of trial and error 😅
@@syouss3485 Hi,thanks for that,I do use a more deeper cleaning product - but I make sure
not to over "dry out" and do use a conditioner -when needed. But I do find that if I use
one product / manufacturer for a time my hair seems to "get used to it" -and then improves by using something by a different manufacturer for a time i.e. "Mix them up"
a little? It seems to work ! I will try your advice and let you know, Love You, S. xxx
@@natalies4751 Hi, Yes Natalie, I think you have found part of the "problem" I must admit
I do use more product than maybe I really need to !
Also I will be more careful not to get any too close to my roots ! Thanks, Love Ya, S. xxx
Definitely don't have to be washing every day
its 3am in ny, i have class at 10am lol but i must watch ur vidssss🥺🥺🤍🤍🤍🤍
I think my hair is what yours used to be (moisture overload?) my hair is weighed down and gets so messy easily and has not much volume. And it gets frizzy and it’s soft.
How to add moisture. My hair just broke when I tried stretching it lolz
same
Yayy u and mell are my favorite curly heads!! 💖
Pleaseeeee help me someone. Ive watched so many videos on moisture overload or protein overload videos but i still cant figure out which one i have. Somethings not right with my hair but i have things from both so i dont know which one it is. Im two months into the curly girl method, so i know my hairs probably still transitioning but i need help 🥺 atm its frizzy, i have perfect ringlets at the front of my head but the back has no definition, just pure frizzy volume, not the type of volume i want 😩 it feels limp, has no elasticity. I try a moisture rich conditioner and it weighs it down ( my hair is super thick and not much weighs it down so its kinda scary that it turns my 3A-3B curls into 2B waves) but then i try a protein rich conditioner and my whole hair has no definition, and is just a frizzy mess. I end up having to gel my hair probably twice a week, which is annoying because then im having to clarify more often because of all the buildup. Its really soft, like too soft, thats what making it feel so limp, but at the same time its really straggly. Please someone, anyone help me 😭😭 im still not even sure what porosity hair i have. I tried the water strand test n it sunk, so i thought okay, its high porosity but every single person whos seen my hair has told me it looks and seems like i have low porosity hair.
Ugh I always have like three curls in the back that are like 3a when the rest of my hair 3c so you can imagine how crazy it looks. I usually use Bobby pins to make it look shorter but it’s so annoying
😂 same!! I've tried to finger coil it but it still ends up stretching and being longer than the rest of my curls
Great video ! Keeping a balance of both is so good for your hair to look it’s best !!! 💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕
Her beauty is killing my confidence 😭😭😭❤❤❤❤
Your channel made me accept my nature,Although I am an Arab, our society does not accept curly poetry at all..thanks u are Amazing🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
True. I'm also arab and it's getting kind of more acceptable where i live so I'm transitioning my hair which have a lot of heat damage :(
How do you know when I product has more protein or moisturizer? What are common ingredients to look for?
wait you said you had a protein overload in the before picture , but then said you used a protein mask the next day. shouldn’t we be using more moisture if we have a protein overload?
Ok, so I did a hydrating mask, and it made my hair super oily. I’m gonna try a protein mask because by the description, I have a moisture overload. I was thinking my frizzy and limp hair was because I didn’t have enough moisture. This video was very helpful thank you 🙏
any protein free, moisturizing hair mask recommendations?? i most def have protein overload😭😭
Coco and eve like a virgin hair mask!
When you don’t know what type porosity hair you have 🤦♀️
put a strand of hair in water if it stays at the top low porosity, if it falls at the bottom high porosity and if its in the middle medium porosity
@@oceanenahle1600 Thank youu
@@oceanenahle1600 Mell has a different way of testing porosity. Check the same vid with the chart. I think she takes a dry curl with no product on it (which is a state of hair i never have) and spraying it with some water, and seeing if the hair absorbs the water. She said the floating hair thing isn't the best.
Great informative video, but a little confused with how to move forward with my hair. Because during the stretch test it snaps as if it needs moisture. But my whole head of hair fits the description as if it has a moisture overload already, so what do! D:
Hey, soo my curls went through a lot, i have been natural for 5 years, 4 of them i had dreads, my hair looks healthy and it bounced back pretty quickly, i have 2c/3a hair,but i just can´t understand what it wants from me anymore! it doesn´t strech and it is frizzy, doesn´t hold, my curl pattern looks so dull, it weights down a lot, but it hates moisture, so I just can´t understand what to do ahah, my top hair is 3a and the lower half is 2c, and it´s a really disfunctional mane, I´ve tried everything and still appears to be getting worse, if somebody could help I would be really grateful.
love
Alexandra Marques Im the same way!!! I’m still trying to understand it and I’m a hair dresser 🤦🏻♀️ what I’ve kind of learned too is that my hair doesn’t like to be too long or it weighs down the curls a lot, don’t know how long yours is but for me that’s why the top of my hair is curlier- because it’s cut in layers and therefore shorter and less heavy
@@anj3495 thank you for answering x))
I've tried that, and it did work, everything was curlier and lighter, but still it didn't change much, now it's a little bit past my shoulders, because I'm trying to grow it out, still has layers and I guess imma just try to keep it healthy, thank you ❤️
Chelating shampoo.
Aleksandra Lempart as in clarifying shampoo?? I don’t recommend that to be used every single wash, it’ll dry out her hair. Once a week yes but i doubt that’s what’s causing her curls to get frizzy.
@@anj3495 I doubt it too, because I clarify my hair, not with the shampoo tho, with apple cider vinegar, its really good, works wonders
i’m so thankful for this video! this is EXACTLY what my hair NEEDED 😩 I literally watched your video, went & got the same product, used it this morning & my hair is already coming back to life! 🙌🏼 🥰
Omg!!! That’s probably why my hair has been acting out, I stopped protein products for years now 🥵
What protein products do you recommend
I fixed my curl pattern with a big chop I kid you not. I have type 4 hair now
I would trust Jayme with my life. If she told me to put dirt in my hair I would
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. God sent his only begotten Son so that you can have everlasting life. Place your faith in Jesus. Trust Jesus. Jesus Christ. Jesus saves. Jesus conqueres. Calvary Cross. The Blood. Salvation. Gospel. Heaven
God bless you all
This was so helpful! I‘ve been using high moisture products for years now and i wondered why my hair became so flat and straight at the roots. I ordered the exact same products. To be honest i think my hair would look exactly like yours if the protein & moisture uptake would be balanced. I‘m looking forward to trying the new products 😍
Wait what? I have protein overload but I never used protein and I use LOTS of moisture. That’s crazy 😭.
this is the video i didnt know i needed!! thank you so much, my hair (and me) has been suffering
My hair is very protein sensitive! When I do my Shea moisture protein mask I have to also do my moisture mask by Mielle or Carols daughter to balance ! Same with products I have to do moisture|protein|moisture
Mine is so crazy. Like it stretches to infinity but it doesn’t fall off but it doesn’t come back either. (Only if I pull two singular strands will it break.) But I know I need some protein in my hair 😭. I’ve only been using moisturizing products because my hair looks dull. It’s definitely time for protein treatments.
I used to have really really curly hair when I was a kid. Since I’ve been a teen, it slowly started to get less and less curly. Now I’m 23 to and it’s wavy on most days and on my best days I have low defined curls / a loose pattern. It’s so frustrating. I also have short hair so i feel like using the de man brush correctly is hard. I also use a curly hair cream after shower and a hair gel. I basically scrunch my hair with each products after washing my hair. Sometimes I diffuse but it doesn’t change much thing apart from volume. And I’ve never suffered from heat damage on my hair. It’s just really sad and depressing idk what to do🥺
i’ve gone through a ton of hair changes in my 14 years and personally i think your hair type is changing which is totally normal. there’s a possibility of your curls coming back so for now keep using sulfate and silicon free shampoos and conditioners and keep taking care of it as you usually do
This whoooole story is exactly the reason why I hate my curls 😢 I can never get it right, nothing works and it’s soooo much work and costs so much money. Just give me straight hairrr, coming out of the shower and look normal instead of a birds nest wwhaaa!
I LOVE your videos tho, don’t get me wrong. But I think curls are so much work and annoying…and all these products ppfff
I will keep following you, maybe someday I will be happy with my hair….maybe…I’m 40 so…don’t know if it will ever happen 🤣
Omg I’ve literally been having the same problem as you with my hair! Thank you so much for this video🙏🏼❤️ So helpful! xx
Baby: straight hair
Toddler: little ringlets
Child: straight//wavy hair
Teen: 3a//3b but at the back it’s 2b
WHAT?!?!😀😀😀
I just want to chime in with the protein overload- make sure you do a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up of keratin/protein before starting the moisturizing treatments. It is more recommended to go to a salon for a clarifying treatment but if not kinky curly makes a gentle CG friendly clarifying shampoo. Curlsmith also has a clarifying line if you want more high end products. I've also read you can do an apple cider vinegar mix, but my concern is it is too acidic and will mess with scalp ph/dry your hair out completely
I’ve been using Hask Keratin shampoo which has great protein and I use their Argon Oil line conditioner which is pretty moisturizing and so far so good. I also like L’Oréal ElVive protein recharge leave in. I really wanna get more body and curl at my roots cause the roots mostly around the front are limp and I hate that and I know it wasn’t always like this.
Sadly they test on animals and they kill them after the tests are done and animals are deemed useless. Mainly bunnies and beagles. Look into it.
Thing is, my hair fits the description of moisture overload but i’m scared of using a protein product since over a year ago i bought the shea moisture jamaican black castor oil strengthen and restore leave-in conditioner w/ shea butter, peppermint and Keratin and from the first use, my hair was super hard to untangle and felt super rough for a couple weeks after even when i didn’t use it again so i’m scared of that happening again and i’ve only been buying moisturizing products but clearly that’s too much for my hair so how could i healthily balance it out?
UPDATE: thanks Jaymeee it workeddd, i used the leave in as mentioned earlier and my tighter curls are frizz free and sooo definedddd as they’ve never been, i used the black castor oil shea moisture shampoo and the fructis 1 min mask treatment (that i use as a conditioner) and then when i got out the shower i didn’t even finger comb any of my curls and they came out looking bombbb except i blow dried it too much with no diffuser so the less tighter curls got frizzy but in general the ones that were starting to fall limp got their hold back 🥰🥰 i’m happyyy
@@Amina-vj1ot any new updates ?
Hey i watched your video i am a little confused if anyone can help me, my curly hair is flat from roots and my curls are just flat the next day, i did the hair pull test some of my hair strands stretched a little and then snapped but some immediately snapped do i need protein or moisture i think i should balance them both ig??
i’ve been trying to understand how to balance them for a while now and this definitely helped clear things up and hopefully will steer me closer to my hair goals. I believe I have low porosity hair and for a while had been putting too much protein in my hair so then i started to use products that didn’t contain much protein and feel like my hair was getting better but some protein overload damage was still there (i now know this but at the time didn’t realize) and i thought it was me needing more protein but i feel like the products with protein were just making my hair dry and hay like. I def think i’ll go back to the low porosity products with barely any protein but I feel as if i need a good hydrating mask for moisture, any suggestions??
Girl, your curls give me life....and hope mine will attain 1/3rd of your beauty!
I cant figure out why the bottom half of my hair is super curly and the top isnt i dont know if its because it has more damage? So i usually end up straightening it all and its all damaged i want to embrace my curls though. Im trying to go no heat to see if that helps.
Me who has crunchy stringy hair on top of my head but soft no volume hair on the sides: I'm not sure what I'm doing but I'm doing it wrong
I think I've got moisture overload. I used to really not take care of my hair at all, I never even conditioned, but a few months ago I switched to the CGM. With every wash I was getting better and better results, but then in the past month it's gone way down. My hair goes limp so quickly after I unplop, my roots are flat, and my curls are like non-existent. I tried a clarifying wash today and my hair does feel a lot better, but its still so flat and stretchy. I'm gonna get this product you recommended! I dont want to mess with my usual routine yet as it's been going really well for around 5 months, but I think doing a clarifying wash and a protein treatment like once a month should help keep me on top of it all!
the shea moisture jamaican black castor oil mask is also good for balancing protein and moisture in your hair
What if you have all the symptoms of moisture overload, but you have more protein than moisture in your products/ have low porosity hair?
I agree! Porosity is extremely important how you care for your hair and many people don't understand that. Even in the 80s hairdressers didn't recommend hair treatments based on porosity
I don’t know how to do the hair strand test properly I mean I did it and it stretched and stretched but I don’t know if I stretched it too much and it snapped because I stretched it too much or what I don’t know if I have a low or poor someone help
I'm so thankful for this video! I have low porosity hair and apparently a moisture overload too. My curls right now just stretch and die. Also, my hair is super frizzy! (and other videos just told me it was because of lack of moisture) I now know that I need protein in my routine. Again, Thank you so much for these tips!
This is exactly my problem I’m not sure if I need moisture or if I have a moisture overload ?!?
Such a HUGE help and I thank you so much! I follow Manes by Mell and she is one of my faves! I have low porosity hair as well and taking notes from YOU! Keep these videos coming girl! Xoxoxo
I need help. I have curly hair but when my crown is it is like wavy and little curly but it won't curl like it does on the front
Can please recommend some moisturizer products .. my hair is so dry nd has no glow nd no shine :/
I’m confused bc my hair is brittle & thin & it breaks off easily but when I do the test it stretches forever & then breaks…
Wait I have low elasticity and low porosity hair. How do I lock in moisture.?
Early early earlyyy!! Love you Jayme 😇 from Brisbane
Does anyone know a hydrating mask with no protein everytime i think I found one it has protein.
holy shit i didn't even realise that was going on with my curls! off to search for some protein
I have dry and damaged (broken) hair at the top of my hair
The front hair near the hairline
I can never put my hair in a ponytail without dividing the front part in two
If I push everything to the back then there is a lot of dry damaged hair sticking out like antennas
Thankyouu😊😊you Soo beautiful sisss❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Do you do weekly deep
Conditioning? If so will you ever do a protein treatment once a month? Or only in stylers like you said?
Wow thanks so much you explained it so perfectly
Ok so what do ya do if your hair is all of the above on the same day 😂🙈 think I'm just ready to rock a mum bun daily at this point
my hair actually looks limp and lifeless just like how yours did before. i just recently bought a whole new hair care setup to add some protein into my hair while retaining some moisture. might give myself a month or two to test everything to see if my curls come back to life. thanks for the video!
I never thought protein and moisture have to be in balance! Can you do a review on the Dove curly line :o
Or do you know If their products/ the conditioners have more protein or moisture
Just check ingredients
