Thanks so much for the love, Mel! 💕 Such a great video and so many amazing tips per usual! As a low density curly, upright damp styling is game-changing 🙌🏼
Could you please do a video explaining the devacut, ouidad cut and rezo cut?? What’s the difference in each and how do they look grown out ? Thanks 💓💓I learn a lot from you
Your editing is on point as always. I cannot imagine taking this from an hour & a half to just a half hour. All 15 are really helpful.Watching it doesn’t even feel like a half hour. It’s so good I lose track of time. Thanks for working so hard.
I have an event this weekend and while I know a lot because of Mell, I find myself always binging different videos when I know I have to prep for a GOOD hair week. So here I am, watching, rewatching, and enjoying the new content. 😌
Me too. For decades I treated my hair wrong and my bad habits are sneaking in after a while, also not touching is a struggle. So, when I don't understand anymore why my hair looks like it does or I prep for an event, I rewatch her videos and 🤦🏻♀️.
Watching with hair plopped in my purple zebra print towel💜 Mell, you are wonderful! 💞Requesting a video for us “mature” curlies…can you talk about gray curly hair sometime & get scientiffy for us. I keep coloring mine, but the gray hair that comes in seems possessed😬 Coloring it seems to tame it back to its normal curl pattern?
I am 68 years old. I’m just discovering this whole curly hair thing. Mine is more wavy curly. But I’ve been loving trying this. I think we need to see some mature ladies as guests on your show!! Love watching your videos and I have learned so much! Thank you!
I am 61 and transitioning to silver and embracing my curls! And I adore you Mell! You have helped me so much more than CGM. And entertained me and given me confidence in my curls. So thank you and know you are my honorary daughter ! Shhhh don’t tell my 2 daughters! Btw one is curly head and other is wavy with honest to god zigzag hairs throughout her thick hair! So preach on Curly Head !
Does your hair hold your curl pattern ? I’m transitioning to no color and my hair falls flat and I feel like I have to re wet daily and I know that’s bad
@@janetmcgue2313 it depends on the hair products you’re using. If you use stringer hold gels then your hair will hold a curl longer with very little refresh. I personally like softer gels, I don’t mind refreshing every single day.
Please make a part two! Can you go into more detail about pre-pooing? I have low porosity hair and I already struggle so much getting moisture in that sealing my hair in oil seems counterproductive. We need Scientiffy Mell to give us the facts, ma'am. Also would love more low porosity videos!
I loved this, and was so glad to see you went with all 15, instead of cutting it down to 10. Part 2 would be appreciated. You and Amanda are they best. I really need to check out that oil. 💜💜
Okay, I’ll stop, but yes, that rose gold vibe you got going is permeating the hair, the makeup, the clothes (at least on top 😜), and probably the attitude! Love it! Especially the makeup and hair, I must say. Girl, you gorgeous!
Many years ago I took a collegiate level fleece (as in animals) evaluation class so that I could judge fleeces. There was so much covered there about individual strands and lock structure. You are the first stylist I have ever found that understands all the concepts that were covered in the class. I love your videos and I am now finding products, outside of the livestock industry, that helps to maintain my hair and it's curly/wavy lock structure. Thanks Mel.
I honestly had no idea that the cause of my split ends had to do with me air drying my hair (I never owned a hair dryer) so this was a real eye-opener. Guess I know what I will be asking for Christmas 🤣
Can’t wait for you to spill the tea on the hair color. I’ve been every shade of red from dark auburn to my current orange red (all salon. I’m not chancing my color at home). I’d love to do something with a hue like yours is today.
Question: Is white (grey, platinum, silver, glitter, whatever euphemism you want) more likely to higher porosity? Any other likely characteristics? Asking for a friend. 😜
Many people report them to be more wiry, although personally, I can't confirm that. I have quite a lot of white at age 41 and don't notice a difference in texture or wave pattern. I have thick 'horsehair' to begin with, though. Maybe it's different for people with fine hair.
My white hairs seem slightly more porous than the others. They are concentrated more at the front/temples so I don't know if that makes a difference. Using more product and oil in that area seems to help a lot to prevent them fluffing out too much. My hair is fine and much better condition since I stopped dying it, i have ringlets again 😁
@@raraavis7782 I think mine used to be like that (I would feel it when individual hairs fell out and hit my shoulder) but either I don’t notice it anymore or it’s less wiry. I keep wondering if I should automatically assume that it is dryer, more fragile, or more porous now that it is mostly naturally white, or if I should keep trying to “listen” to it. I swear that my ears still work pretty good, but my ability to discern the needs of my hair has me feeling like my “hearing” abilities are kaput.
White hair: high porosity Grey hair: low porosity There’s a whole science to this I am DYING to break down in a video!! Just beware you might notice your hair is resistant when it’s grey but absorbent fine and fragile when it gets white!
@@ManesByMell OMG, Curl Mom is here! (How do they say it? Squeee!!!) (Okay, I’m sure I got that wrong.) Moving on anyway, I would LOVE the nitty gritty scientiffy info.
Mell can you and Amanda do a 2021 # bloopers ?? My favorite part of your videos are your endings .. l laugh so hard wearing earbuds. 🤣 We Americans need to laugh more... ❤ And have good hair days. Yes... for a part #2 ..
I really hope you win that award, you definitely deserve it! I went on the website and voted for u. You've helped me so much with my curls and you helped many other people too. Great video btw!
I had to burst out laughing at no. 7 and no. 8 💀 I feel ATTACKED!!! But I needed this and I will employ your hacks for prettier hair! Thanks Mell & Amanda, I hope y’all are holding up well 💗💗💗
Call me crazy but since learning to love my curls for 4 years or so I finally broke down and treated myself to the Dyson!! Ive washed and diffused twice now and have had the best lasting curls. And my hair looks to be improving because it isnt staying wet forever while airdryjng! Your video today so on point!! Thank you for all you do ❤️
@@rootedbyj I actually do think it is much better but than again ive got really thick hair that always took too long to airdry and probably led to some of my hair issues with frizz. Plus the older dryer was a conair with a universal diffuser that were really old. Im extremely happy that I bought it!
Me too!!! 4 years CG! Finally bought one & what a difference the Dyson makes, everything u said & I would add fast drying time & how light & easy it is to use. I used to dread wash day as it took forever! It has made my life easier & that in itself is worth the price
Hey seesters another great video thank you. Also u like twilight try the sookie stackhouse books by charlain harris i love anything supe. See you next week ladies😍😍
Happy Texture Tuesday!! Girl you look gorgeous!! The makeup the hair the clothes it all just works!👏👏! So excited for this and its 30 min long I love it!! Thank you!! Much love and happiness xoxo 😘
Where have your videos been all my life? Seriously, I needed this video like... 55 years ago. Grew up having my hair treated as a problem for my parents to solve as quickly and cheaply as possible. That continued on into adulthood, since I had no other mental model for it, and having it shaved off in military basic training gave me an option to fall back on occasionally over the next few decades. Didn't start to see my hair differently until I was in my late 40s, and it wasn't until I was in my 50s and growing it long while in covid lockdown that I really started making an effort to take care of it properly. So much I have to learn, though. Started watching your channel a month or two ago and have been picking up all kinds of info, and this video is packed with even more that I didn't know. Thank you!
I am currently at work and I cannot wait to go home & watch this. I am about 3 months into my journey & I can see a huge difference! Thank you Mell & Amanda for your guidance! BTW the new AG curl cream is AMAZING! 🔥
I read your message and thought “I’m not alone” I’m on 5 months and a half (but who’s counting) through my hair journey and I think we might need a support group 😂 …. Loving my results but patience is not my virtue 😉
PLEASE THE PART TWO 😍 loved this so so much, so incredibly helpful, especially since I aaaalways have those pesky stringy clumps. Washing tonight and can't wait to try these tips out!
I'm newly transitioning to my natural curly hair and while I'm enjoying the journey thusfar, my bad hair days are SO BAD. I need all the help I can get man!
Same here. My hair looks like crap mostly and my bathroom is starting to look like a hair lab. I have so many different products. Probably spent $1000.00 on them.
@@melissarupard463 the struggle 🥺 I started getting stuff from ulta and I'll take it back! If it doesnt work for me after 2 uses it would go back. Now that I found what works for me I stopped looking but I was always fast to return.
This is hands down THE MOST Informative video about curls on TH-cam. Oh my goodness so much information broken down in an entertaining way💚love it. Thank you so much Mel.
I really learned about the way hair changes as I've gotten more silver! My silvers need moisture, but moisture that makes my silver happy overloads my non-silvers. My solution, use a deep conditioner for up to 10 minutes whenever I wash but mix in aittle of Botanika The Mender protein treatment, and I don't use a leave in conditioner. Gives both my silvers and non-silvers what they need.
Mell: I'm a tea snob me, a tea snob: Oh, I wonder what it is? Maybe like a nice tieguanyin, or a kabusecha or something? Mell: David's Tea, I love ya! me: Oh (Though in fairness, I love Stash tea, and I think I have a David's Tea that I like)
Can we talk about the different types of protein for hair? My hair is protein sensitive, it will tolerate some proteins, and hates the others. For example: Aveda Be Curly curl enhancer has some protein, my hair loves it. Curlsmith, NYM, VERB products with protein, my hair hates... Is there a way to distinguish what types of proteins are better suited for those with protein sensitivity?
Waited til the very end to comment. This was so helpful, and Learned so much. I think I need to work on my brush styling tension. I also started finger coiling the back bottom and top, my trouble spots. Love Mel videos!
I love your channel! Your sparkling personality is always making me smile and laugh. I have wavy hair and I would love more wavy hair videos if you get a chance. ❤
Ive been doing My hair the same for 3 years now but for some reason this last year My hair is getting thinner and thinner. Also when my hair is dry after a wash and go its super short and I havent cut it, the strans are also verry verry thin. I always stretch my hair and always done that but now when I stretch it it shrinks back up in les than 15 min. My wash and go would last a week and now it doesn’t even last 2 days. Do you know what’s wrong Or what I can do to fix it. I rarely wear my hair out anymore because I hate the way it looks, I want my old hair back :(
I’m sitting here with the consequences of not saturating my hair enough or consistently during styling - my curls have a sticky gel cast that won’t break for anything. Whoops. Live and learn.
I saw you mention brushing with tension in another video yesterday. Today I tried it and it was a game changer. I had clumps again! My curls are starting to look juicy again as I get back into taking care of my hair.
This is like a “greatest hits video!” The advice on the brushing is so spot on, probably one of the most important things Did you ever cover neck hair and why is such an issue? I don’t recall. All I know is, my canopy is easier to tame than my neck hair, sometimes I have to use products made for coily hair to tame it. If I do the pineapple, if I use a bonnet makes no difference. P.S. As you get older, hair can be high porosity for no reason other than age.
the hair around my neck is a looser curl, closer to 3b, but it always gets tangled and frizzy so i relate to having to use different products. also i was just born with high porosity hair 🤷♀️
I just love this channel, I keep learning so many things about curly hair, and your tips are really helping me..I started my curly hair journey in September 19 2020, I didn’t know I have curly hair, my younger sister had curly hair since she was a child, but my mom never tried to see if I have curly hair, but one day my moms cousin gave my mom some curly hair products so my mom can try them, and I tried to use them on my hair, and bc of your tips My curls are looking fine and beautiful now..I’m still learning about my hair and how to to make my curls better and what is the best products for my hair, thank you for helping me and a lot of people Mell💜
I'm guilty with aggression out of sheer frustration. I've been battling my hair for over 15 years. With all these rules and new information and tips and expensive products I'm just about over this natural hair journey. I'm hoping to try again with this video and hopefully see improvements.
Don't give up, everything great takes time. I understand your frustration. It is called a journey because it is literally a rollercoaster of ups and downs. However their is light at the end of the tunnel and your hair will improve. I have thought very similarly to you. My hair now has a routine and is finely predictable and beautiful. I suggest stop purchasing. Focus on your technique and working with the purchases you have already made. Though most of all I recommend you give your curls the time they need to fully recover and blossom.
@@rachellep2581 i plan to experiment with pre pooing, fenugreek supplements, and using something super heavy to seal in the moisture cause my ends are dry and i fear constantly wetting my hair to manage it will stress it with hygral fatigue.
🥰I am starting to think my hair is just bossy. Will not be rushed to dry. If it dries on its own it is shiny. If i try to rush it or with most products it looks dull. Like really. What in the world. Just A Bossy Head of Curls. It does what it wants & responds to what it wants to. Also, quite the little diamond. UnLike me it likes the pressure. Products that seem to actually "squeeze" the water & clump the curls plump like (happily not stringy) leave a horrid feeling/residue my fingers cannot stand. Shall put a shiny gel on top.🤗Ha that was a good ramble i just dropped. Part 2 Part 2...
I love the scent of bond curl repair stuff and just picked up the oil. I’m just excited it doesn’t smell like coconut and has olive oil in it. My hair does so much better with olive oil than others.
I love your videos! I’ve always used a wide tooth comb on my hair, but switching to using as soft bristle brush has been a huge on my curl definition with a lot less frizz. I just need a low dryer and diffuser!!
Thanks for a new video Mell! I've learned so much from you!! Question! Can you tell me your thoughts on the Eva Nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Split End Mender?? Can it really work?
I love the way Amanda edits the videos and adds clips from past videos! Maybe she could add the card to the video so we could click on it and re-watch if we can’t remember exactly which video the clip was from. Awesome content!
My daughter is named Bella! (she's 23, so I picked the name first!) and of course I'm a curly haired twilight fan! Can't wait to hear what you think of Midnight Sun!! Needed a refresher on your tips....hair has been looking ratchet. Love ya!!
This is so helpful & a video I’m saving to reference again if I need it. Please do a part 2! I am confused on one part (it could be the recent epipen though). I’m not fully understanding the difference between not separating the scalp & camouflage. Could you explain what you mean by not separate? I have fine low density hair & when I started blow drying your way with changing head positions, it gave me much more volume & definition. BTW, your rhyming skill gives quite a thrill, not just today but in every way. Thanks for all the help you give us. You are so appreciated!
Ive been watching all your videos, and today you revealed a big 'ah ha' moment for me!!!! I have low density hair!!!! I had no idea, I thought you could see my scalp cause I have fine hair. Especially when I put it in a pony tail, you can see all the sides of my scalp! I did not know about density! Please do your own style video for low density curls!!
Yes this was super helpful! Would love part 2! 😊 I re read the whole series after I had pre ordered midnight sun, felt like I was in my tweens again! 😍
Please help. I do everything you tell me to do, EVERYTHING. My hair still looks absolutely horrid. I don't know what to do anymore and I'm on the verge of giving up and just going back to straightening my hair.
My worst hair days are usually my work days since it's so easy to get sweaty/warm (especially with wearing face masks) & I'm in a dim lit room all day (massage therapist), so I tend to not be as worried what I look like & have my hair up in whatever ways I can keep all the hairs from being on my face or neck. I will say that I tend to do mostly air drying lately with having less time to devote to blow drying or I don't want to be noisy if the rest of the household is still sleeping. But considering that fact, hair still is doing better on those no blow days than they ever did before I found your channel.
My hair is soft, and it’s not so thick not thin..and my curls don’t like- …stay?…how can I make my curls stay and not be ruined, can you please make a video about this..I mean like..they stay but they don’t looks good like how they looked when I just finish diffusing, you know what I mean?😂
You gotta describe your styling method and products used in more detail, for people to help you. And by 'soft', do you mean healthy and silky or stringy and lifeless? My first guess would be, you need a stronger gel, that leaves a real cast. Without that, my hair shows it's potential for waves and even curls, when wet, but immediately flattens upon drying. Protein treatments can also give your curlpattern a 'boost'.
Love this video. So much useful information that is so very true!!! Also, I watch Gena Marie as well and she is another one that has great advice for curly hair girls!
Loved this video and now I need to go check out those rainy day videos because Florida is notorious for having rain storms pop up unpredictably. Great video Mel! 💜
Thanks so much for the love, Mel! 💕

How does the curl smith bonding oil compare to verb ghost oil?
This is hands down THE MOST Informative video about curls on TH-cam. Oh my goodness so much information broken down in an entertaining way💚love it. Thank you so much Mel.
I really learned about the way hair changes as I've gotten more silver! My silvers need moisture, but moisture that makes my silver happy overloads my non-silvers. My solution, use a deep conditioner for up to 10 minutes whenever I wash but mix in aittle of Botanika The Mender protein treatment, and I don't use a leave in conditioner. Gives both my silvers and non-silvers what they need.
Mell: I'm a tea snob
me, a tea snob: Oh, I wonder what it is? Maybe like a nice tieguanyin, or a kabusecha or something?
Mell: David's Tea, I love ya!
me: Oh
(Though in fairness, I love Stash tea, and I think I have a David's Tea that I like)
I hope you’re doing Hairoween again! I swear I’m gonna do it this time.
Can we talk about the different types of protein for hair? My hair is protein sensitive, it will tolerate some proteins, and hates the others. For example: Aveda Be Curly curl enhancer has some protein, my hair loves it. Curlsmith, NYM, VERB products with protein, my hair hates... Is there a way to distinguish what types of proteins are better suited for those with protein sensitivity?
Waited til the very end to comment. This was so helpful, and Learned so much. I think I need to work on my brush styling tension. I also started finger coiling the back bottom and top, my trouble spots. Love Mel videos!
You are such a knowledgeable goof ball and I’m hair for it!
I love your channel! Your sparkling personality is always making me smile and laugh. I have wavy hair and I would love more wavy hair videos if you get a chance. ❤
Ive been doing My hair the same for 3 years now but for some reason this last year My hair is getting thinner and thinner. Also when my hair is dry after a wash and go its super short and I havent cut it, the strans are also verry verry thin. I always stretch my hair and always done that but now when I stretch it it shrinks back up in les than 15 min. My wash and go would last a week and now it doesn’t even last 2 days. Do you know what’s wrong Or what I can do to fix it. I rarely wear my hair out anymore because I hate the way it looks, I want my old hair back :(
This is so helpful, thank you. Gena is such a good curly girl too, loads of useful tips and trick. Vote submitted, 🤞 good luck ❤️
Does a bad hair day really need a reason? 😜
I’m sitting here with the consequences of not saturating my hair enough or consistently during styling - my curls have a sticky gel cast that won’t break for anything. Whoops. Live and learn.
Hello, Mell and Amanda! I style on slightly damp, almost dry hair. Is that damaging?
I don't have bad hair days. Ive had bad hair 'decades'.
I saw you mention brushing with tension in another video yesterday. Today I tried it and it was a game changer. I had clumps again! My curls are starting to look juicy again as I get back into taking care of my hair.
Im 30, this is the FISRT TIME someone has taught me so much about my hair, I hope to apply it well in the coming days. Thank you Mel
My hair is 3a/3b but on the top it is high so my curls are 👎
1 &2 day are.the worst then the other days are good
Can you please say what lipstick you are wearing
Can u pls go in depth about ingredients with Scientify Mell about humidity proof products/styling tips? 😃
Your hair always looks amazing but it’s looking way more amazing lately.
I get bad hair days every day 🤣
I've tried so many shampoos and conditioner and every shampoo and conditioner recommendation for my curly hair seems to not work for my hair! 🤯
My hair has always taken forever to dry but it is shiny…do you have any tips to test if it’s healthy
My bookmark is a tag from an NHL blanket, I feel you!
Trying to figure out your hair's porosity is the hardest thing to figure out
getting my first professional haircut since covid tomorrow by a curly hair specialist, send me all your love and prayers 🖤
My hair looks good after it dries but like the next day it's a mess
This is like a “greatest hits video!” The advice on the brushing is so spot on, probably one of the most important things
Did you ever cover neck hair and why is such an issue? I don’t recall. All I know is, my canopy is easier to tame than my neck hair, sometimes I have to use products made for coily hair to tame it. If I do the pineapple, if I use a bonnet makes no difference.
P.S. As you get older, hair can be high porosity for no reason other than age.
the hair around my neck is a looser curl, closer to 3b, but it always gets tangled and frizzy so i relate to having to use different products. also i was just born with high porosity hair 🤷♀️
❤️ Gena Marie shout-out !! You 2 (well 3 cause sees) should Collab!!!!!
She cannot be the only beesh in the bundle! Lmao you are so funny 🤣
I ruined my beautiful healthy curls with heat and color and bleach and now my top layer doesn’t curl and only stays frizzy
First time in my life I hear about wet hair causing damage. I stopped using my hairdryer to avoid split ends and now I might be causing them? Omg
I just love this channel, I keep learning so many things about curly hair, and your tips are really helping me..I started my curly hair journey in September 19 2020, I didn’t know I have curly hair, my younger sister had curly hair since she was a child, but my mom never tried to see if I have curly hair, but one day my moms cousin gave my mom some curly hair products so my mom can try them, and I tried to use them on my hair, and bc of your tips My curls are looking fine and beautiful now..I’m still learning about my hair and how to to make my curls better and what is the best products for my hair, thank you for helping me and a lot of people Mell💜
Well hello, pretty lady! 💜 Your hair & makeup looks amazing!
Thank you❤️❤️
I came for the curl advice, stayed for the lip color. OMG 🖤💋
❤️❤️❤️
I'm guilty with aggression out of sheer frustration. I've been battling my hair for over 15 years. With all these rules and new information and tips and expensive products I'm just about over this natural hair journey. I'm hoping to try again with this video and hopefully see improvements.
I love fighting with my hair wishing it was different and more ringlets I hate having waves.
Don't give up, everything great takes time. I understand your frustration. It is called a journey because it is literally a rollercoaster of ups and downs. However their is light at the end of the tunnel and your hair will improve. I have thought very similarly to you. My hair now has a routine and is finely predictable and beautiful. I suggest stop purchasing. Focus on your technique and working with the purchases you have already made. Though most of all I recommend you give your curls the time they need to fully recover and blossom.
@@rachellep2581 i plan to experiment with pre pooing, fenugreek supplements, and using something super heavy to seal in the moisture cause my ends are dry and i fear constantly wetting my hair to manage it will stress it with hygral fatigue.
Texture Tuesdayyyyyy
🥰I am starting to think my hair is just bossy. Will not be rushed to dry. If it dries on its own it is shiny. If i try to rush it or with most products it looks dull. Like really. What in the world. Just A Bossy Head of Curls. It does what it wants & responds to what it wants to. Also, quite the little diamond. UnLike me it likes the pressure.
Products that seem to actually "squeeze" the water & clump the curls plump like (happily not stringy) leave a horrid feeling/residue my fingers cannot stand. Shall put a shiny gel on top.🤗Ha that was a good ramble i just dropped. Part 2 Part 2...
Sotc!
I have chemo curls. Do I need to do transition steps or just dive straight into the basic?
Swavy Curly Courtney recently did a video on this. 😊
I regret being a mixter 🤦🏻♀️
You should definitely do a part2 to this video! I learn a lot from you
I love the scent of bond curl repair stuff and just picked up the oil. I’m just excited it doesn’t smell like coconut and has olive oil in it. My hair does so much better with olive oil than others.
I feel like every hair product either smells fruity or coconut.
I love your videos! I’ve always used a wide tooth comb on my hair, but switching to using as soft bristle brush has been a huge on my curl definition with a lot less frizz. I just need a low dryer and diffuser!!
I am like a proud mama with your youtube subscribers plaque behind you on the wall. So well deserved. We love you Mell.
Thank you Lisa I appreciate you so much❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for a new video Mell! I've learned so much from you!!
Question! Can you tell me your thoughts on the Eva Nyc Mane Magic 10-in-1 Split End Mender?? Can it really work?
*Me with frizzy curly hair in a low pony thinking it's a normal day:*
👁️👄👁️
I love the way Amanda edits the videos and adds clips from past videos! Maybe she could add the card to the video so we could click on it and re-watch if we can’t remember exactly which video the clip was from.
Awesome content!
Hey, what diffuser/hair dryer would you recommend please?
My daughter is named Bella! (she's 23, so I picked the name first!) and of course I'm a curly haired twilight fan! Can't wait to hear what you think of Midnight Sun!! Needed a refresher on your tips....hair has been looking ratchet. Love ya!!
This is so helpful & a video I’m saving to reference again if I need it. Please do a part 2!
I am confused on one part (it could be the recent epipen though). I’m not fully understanding the difference between not separating the scalp & camouflage. Could you explain what you mean by not separate? I have fine low density hair & when I started blow drying your way with changing head positions, it gave me much more volume & definition.
BTW, your rhyming skill gives quite a thrill, not just today but in every way.
Thanks for all the help you give us. You are so appreciated!
How do we know our hair's porosity?
Ive been watching all your videos, and today you revealed a big 'ah ha' moment for me!!!! I have low density hair!!!! I had no idea, I thought you could see my scalp cause I have fine hair. Especially when I put it in a pony tail, you can see all the sides of my scalp! I did not know about density! Please do your own style video for low density curls!!
So glad your back!! Any advice on how to get defined curls with volume that won’t frizz in FL Miami humidity!! Love you and sees 💖
Yes this was super helpful! Would love part 2! 😊 I re read the whole series after I had pre ordered midnight sun, felt like I was in my tweens again! 😍
Please help. I do everything you tell me to do, EVERYTHING. My hair still looks absolutely horrid. I don't know what to do anymore and I'm on the verge of giving up and just going back to straightening my hair.
My worst hair days are usually my work days since it's so easy to get sweaty/warm (especially with wearing face masks) & I'm in a dim lit room all day (massage therapist), so I tend to not be as worried what I look like & have my hair up in whatever ways I can keep all the hairs from being on my face or neck. I will say that I tend to do mostly air drying lately with having less time to devote to blow drying or I don't want to be noisy if the rest of the household is still sleeping. But considering that fact, hair still is doing better on those no blow days than they ever did before I found your channel.
My hair is soft, and it’s not so thick not thin..and my curls don’t like- …stay?…how can I make my curls stay and not be ruined, can you please make a video about this..I mean like..they stay but they don’t looks good like how they looked when I just finish diffusing, you know what I mean?😂
Probably not enough moisture
You gotta describe your styling method and products used in more detail, for people to help you. And by 'soft', do you mean healthy and silky or stringy and lifeless?
My first guess would be, you need a stronger gel, that leaves a real cast. Without that, my hair shows it's potential for waves and even curls, when wet, but immediately flattens upon drying. Protein treatments can also give your curlpattern a 'boost'.
Yes part 2 please!!
Love this video. So much useful information that is so very true!!! Also, I watch Gena Marie as well and she is another one that has great advice for curly hair girls!
Part two please!!! I love your lengthy videos 😍😍
Loved this video and now I need to go check out those rainy day videos because Florida is notorious for having rain storms pop up unpredictably. Great video Mel! 💜
Thank you Mel. Your the best
Loved every minute of this video :)
I love hearing that ❤️❤️
I have no excuse for my bad hair days. I’m just lazy 🤷♀️
LOL
