even the wrong side is still 10x better than my curls lol
same!
me too! I WISH my hair looked as good as the 'bad side'!!
same
Same girl!
Agree
"even her BAD side" looks better than my good side - tehehe
Thank you for mentioning us wavies 😭 Please more advice for 2a, b, c hair! ❤️
you have GOT to do a video about masks, deep conditioners, and treatments 🤧
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@ManesByMell yes please do it
Yes i follow😁
@@laurienleten8985 me ti
💯‼️
I suspect I don’t add enough product because I’m a cheapskate and don’t want to use my products up too quickly 😂
Am I the only one who thinks the left side looks good as well?
I think it looks better because of the volume
I hate how her don't side looks better than my hair
Your bad side looks like my hair on good hair days
Am I wrong for loving the "don't " side? All of that volume!
VERONICA GLOVER I thought I was the only one it looks so much better to me!!
+VERONICA GLOVER Some people prefer volume, some people definition. Mostly, if your hair is healthy, go for what you want! IndiaBatson is a curly haired influencer who prefers volume over definition. She definitely likes definition, but volume is mostly her goal.
VERONICA GLOVER no! That’s the side I need. I don’t understand why people like big curly hair, I want flat curls.
@@kat118 Because the don't side will be very frizzy and will damage your hair. It will have more knots and prone to breakage when detangling the hair. Also it is hard to manage. Idk if you can get the look after doing the things you need to do for hair.
I love both sides but I also know that the "don't" side will look like a frizzy mess on day 2. I try to start with the "do" side on day 1 and make it to day 5-6 before the frizzy mess hits...
The operative word in that sentence is "try"... It doesn't always happen 😕
I like the bad side 😭
Me too😊 👍
Me too!
Please make a video about wavy hair!
I second that!
Yes, please!! 😭
Even her "bad" Side looks better than my efforts. I'd be happy with the bad side
Your bad side is a good side for me. I'm transitioning (4 months) and I'm still amazed I have big curly hair after years of thinking it was straight.
Thanks so much Mell! After 40 years walking on this planet and hating my curly hair,you made me like and fall in love with my hair for the first time in my life. In this last 2 weeks since discovering your channel and following your tutorials,I can say that my hair looks bomb.com. And I realized that I wasted so much time and energy to straighten my hair,when in reality I had my pot of gold in top of my head.
Ps...hi seester!!
these are the comments that keep me going. I am so happy that my seester and I have helped you in such little time. We would like to welcome you to the channel and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the support ❤️
I apparently have awful hair taste since I prefer the look of the “don’t” side 😂
Girl, I watch your videos and feel like I'm coming to class completely unprepared. After about 2 minutes in I'm scrambling for a notebook and pen. I didnt know there was so much I needed to know. You are a Godsend!! Thank you!!
I like the frizzy side the only thing is that theres two harsh layers n thats what looks wild...
I like both sides 😍😭😭
My sister walked in on me watching this and goes... "Is that Shakira?" haha
Mell help! I have a question on hair fall, honestly how much is too much? I only finger through/comb once or twice a week on wash days, and seem to have a mess of hair coming out when I do. Should I be combing more? Is there a way to reduce hair fall?
Her "don't" side looks better than my hair does most of the time!!!! hahahaha Do you have a video for curly girls with seborrheic dermatitis? I find that if I don't wash frequently, my scalp flares up quite badly but all the curly advice is to wash LESS often. I don't know what to do!!!!!
Tiffany Morris
It’s quite alright to wash daily! You should use daily shampoos (like Not Your Mother’s and Shesmoisture products)
𝐎𝐫 co-washing (just using conditioner)
but, i’m not sure if you HAVE to actually wash it with shampoo. if you don’t have to, then i rlly recommend co-washing😊
i have to wash daily because of my oily hair, so it’s difficult for me to not wash it😅
jjay Editz Thanks for the advice! I love Shea Moisture products! I also found a video by Mell about washing after watching this video! Yay!
Tiffany Morris That’s great!!
AS I AM Dry and itchy shampoo and co-wash was my saving grace i use the shampoo once a week to cleanse my hair and the co-wash twice a week so monday shampoo, wednesday co-wash and friday co-wash
@@Joe-ds5nk I have tried the AS I AM before-and everything else designed for itchy scalp. I actually just got diagnosed with psoriasis so it’s medicated shampoo all the way now. Boo.
Does anyone else have thin hair? Like it’s such a struggle making defined curls but not showing my scalp. It’s so curly too I can’t let it dry strait
Not sure what type hair/thinness you have but I recently saw this video on thin hair, not sure if it will be helpful at all either. th-cam.com/video/-BKGq9A1iYo/w-d-xo.html Her channel is StarPuppy if link messes up.
Your steps are on point but may i say i prefer the puffy voluminous side🤷♀️
Why do I love the left side too? That’s how my hair looks all the time 🤣 the bigger the better!!!!
someone give this woman a diploma or certificate of some sort. I don't care what it says on it.... witch, sorcerer, genius. It is irrelevant.
Veronica Cornavaca 👍🏽
It is relevant though? Wth?
is it bad that I dont see a problem with either side?
Never knew the thing about cupping your hair to determine how much product to use!!! #MindBlown
How much product should you use if you have to section your hair to apply products? 🤔
Logically, I'd say the same guideline, but for each section instead of the entire head of hair.
Exactly! just like I applied based on the one side section of my hair - you would do the same to any section you choose to do.
i am watching almost all your videos and i don’t even have curl hair!! You are so charming!!
10/30 Update： after watching so many of your tutorials, had to try some it, and guess what? Turns out I have wavy hair.. I am so surprised!
wow good for you!
I like the more fluffy part with volume, I think volume is more sexy. The right side looks good too but looks more wet as if it was just with a lot of styling oil. Also pretty but more romantic/ normal and less sexy.
I think all girls who want less friz and less volume more defined curls over time even without using anything they should use organic mic of oils more often and do oil masks like Italian girls do.
just buy oils on amazon peach kernel sweet almon argan and jojoba oil and mix them in a big bottle and add (rose dracena oil for smell or maybe organic vanilla oil for smell- add only few drops to the base oils because these are much potent should not be used alone on skin or hair. Put the oil mix after shower on moist hair they will absorb over time just don’t put too much unless before bed as a pre morning wash mask ..
And collagen and keratin masks could be nice as well...
She hasn't scrunched out the crunch or picked out & fluffed the right side yet. Once she does, it won't look hard or wet. It will be soft, defined and voluminous. Plus it will last for days.
The "don't" side aint all that bad MELL!!! LOL
I would love review videos about affordable drugstore curly hair products, like Maui moisture, cantu, shea moisture, etc
Whats the best way to maintain curly hair while working out & post workout???
I’m the only one how like tha don’t side moree 🙂
She did say depending on what results you want. 😉
The bottom layer of my hair is quite curly but the top layer won’t curl right and just looks weird. What should I do ?
My friend has the same problem expect reverse so we’ve been trying to find something to fix it too
I'm about to purchase another Caruso Molecular Steam Curler set. I so wish I hadn't given it away! It uses steam instead of heat, sets in moments, curls wonderfully, and causes 0% damage! I've had it with my 2a/2b crown when the rest of my hair is 3a! If it were all 2b, I'd be fine with it, but there is such a huge difference between the crown and the rest, I can never get it looking even remotely uniform. It just looks silly, IMO. So from now on, I will wash and style, then when dry, wrap the uncooperative sections in steam curlers, and within 10 minutes have much more even curls!
I was doing pin curls on those sections, but I'm terrible at it (no dexterity in my hands), and the Caruso curlers give really amazing results. Plus, the pin curls take a long time to dry, whereas the Caruso takes moments. I can brush my teeth and get dressed, and they're ready to remove. Can't beat that!
Who knew all I had to do was use ✨more✨ product to make my curls pop?? I thought more would just weigh my hair down... 23 years into this life and I’m just figuring this out lol ugh... Shoutout to Mell for saving my curls 🥳🤩
Hey Mel, I really hope you reply to this bc this problem has been driving me crazy. What do you do if the curls themselves after being just washed are kinda frizzy? Like there is a curl clump and then hairs just kinda sticking out from it and not joining the clump?
I actually have the same problem. It depends on your hair type, ethnicity, water pH etc. I would recommend not finger coiling your hair or braid outs as I noticed this confuses my curl pattern even more. Definitely purchase a water filter for your shower, do apple cider vinegar rinse outs or be very very gentle when brushing your hair when wet. Good luck!
Is it ok that I like her left/ wrong side better 🤔
I have very heavy, very coarse, wavy-curly hair (2c-3a). Once I rinse out my conditioner, I absolutely cannot pull my curls in any way or else they stretch out too much and frizz up. I know "just scrunching" in product is supposed to be "bad" now, but it's literally the only thing that works for me. I can't use praying hands, raking, or finger coiling. Instead I kind of pat the product all over my head, and scrunch away. Do's and don'ts of curly hair are helpful, don't get me wrong, but I really think it's all about finding what works best for YOU. If you're trying a method that is supposed to be a "do" and it's not working or you don't like the result, do it how you think looks best! As long as you're taking care of your hair's health, you do you boo boo!
Even your "bad" side looks good!😂 Thank you for this. I am always afraid I'm going to use too much product, and usually fall short.
Whew Lord I am overwhelmed 😂 you should do virtual 1 on 1 styling sessions because I would definitely sign up for a class!
thank god i found your channel, you’re saving my hair! i have really thick and really long (to my butt) 3a/3b hair but unfortunately since i have colored them they don’t curl up like they used to :( btw you’re so young but you have a lot of experience and i love the way you explain how we should treat our hair, it makes me think i’m talking with a friend (who knows everything about my curly hair😍). actually i wish i was your friend hahahaha
WE ARE CURL FRIENDS!!! Thanks for the support and love 😍
Manes by Mell thank you for your answer!❤️
i lowkey like the ‘bad’ side
Mell is SO engaging! It's her personality. I've watched it through and don't even have curly hair..😅
I like watching her and she doesn’t have my hair type at all.
@Mel: I have to know bc for whatever reason it drives me crazy: what do you do to the “wrong” side of your head after you finish making a video like this one?!
Hahahahaha!
YESSSSS!!!
Start over, or.put it up! 😂
HAHA great question. I usually throw it up in pineapple and wash that sh*t out about 1-2 days later!
Manes by Mell thanks for the answer. :)
Oh Mell! I love your DON’T!!! It is so FULL!!!! So “fluffy”! So GORGEOUS!!! I would love to see it twice as long, and even more fluffy! You are so beautiful, so pretty! You steal my eyes and my heart! Thank you for your video!!! 🙂
Another great curly hair tutorial, Mel. I have the same hair type as yours. I was lazy today and got my hair to look like a nest. The birds were ready to swoop in on it 🤣
Girl you just taught a black girl how to do her hair . Thank you this has helped me so much.
Ok so the wrong side of your hair is how my hair be looking most times but it’s because I pic it! Fluff it whatever you want to call it 😩😂 but I always choose fizz and volume over definition so idk 😐 do u pick your hair to give it volume? And so you break the cast after it’s dry with gel in it? Sorry I’m a new subscriber you prob have videos on all tht info. 💕
It looks so much better in the left ngl
alisha mathurin exactly what I was thinking, the right side has waaay less volume and looks wet
Yes! Today for the first time i applied nothing! Scrunched and scrunched and scrunched some more, left to air dry and it looks fab 😱. 👍
But... How can two people with equally thick hair and different lengths use the same amount of product? Someone with shoulder length hair needs a lot less than someone with hip length hair.
Thank you for pointing out that dripping wet hair is not the greatest for spreading product, I find too much water dilutes the product and makes it seem like you put enough when you actually didnt... SIgh.. such a learning curve.
I’ve always doubted my hair but Mell spoke to me “fine hair” “curls frizz apart easily” and “fall flat” 😭😭😭 I watch these videos on repeat and I’m getting close to the perfect hair day
Same!! I can’t wait to watch this video because I have all of those problems
Any fine, wavy hair tips or planned videos?
Thanks for the professional level info and your sense of humor. I'd love to see more on fine curls. So hard to balance frizz reduction, body, definition, and keeping your style intact for more than a minute when each strand is so delicate.
Thanks to you, I’ve gone from detesting my curls to loving them. Looking at photos with my hair straight now seems weird! Thank you
You are sooo very welcome !! And THANK YOU for watching ❤️❤️
Hey mell,
Thankyou for these amazing videos. They are really helpful.
I wanted to ask one thing, i have wavy hairs some 2a, 2b 2c mixture of all.
I want good definition without difusing is it possible?
When my hairs dry and i fluff my hairs the waves lossen up..
I am in the transition state.
I don't know where you've been for my whole ass curly hair journey but you're a game changer
Me confusion, like I don't get clearly which side is the good and the bad cause the fluffy side looked good and the other side looked kinda bad at first
Do you know any tricks to help make the air smell nice through out the week, I know proper hair washing and nice smelly pretty products, but what if it is an extra hot day and your hair smells like actual sun. Or is it just best to co-wash/wash your hair?Do you know anything about the myth/legend of cutting a childs curly hair off by accident? Does it grow back?This video gave so much a better understand. Thank you for giving us free educating content and learn how to love our hair better and actual educate us with facts and amazing tricks and tips. You have been the most amazing youtube.....well....I do love my girl CurlyPenny.... But, you have been just as amazing and lovely and funny
Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. I would actually love to share a video on this and have noted it down! Also thanks for the love and support. Your kind words mean a lot 😍
To be honest I prefer the left side? I personally like the more bushy/wild curls. The other side just looks quite weighted down and not my style I guess?
...but I love the left side 😍. My hair usually looks like the right side, but I want it as voluminous as the left ugh.
I have the same feeling! I think I am more about the volume than about the definition.
I would love to see a video with advice for people trying to embrace their curls for the first time.
I haven’t worn my curly hair down since I was a little girl, I always just throw it up in a braid or bun. I don’t even know where to begin with my hair. I think my hair is like a 3A but I’m not totally sure.
Fun fact i like left side more
Lol same
There’s literally no way I’m not subscribing I learned so much here 😳😳
Lol. What if you have high density, super fine, low porosity, moisture sensitive 2c/3a hair that never dries on its own and the curls fall flat through the day regardless of product? SOS. #pleasesendhelp
I love your videos. No offense to the other youtubers but you're the first one that I find that isn't self absorbed annoying. You give the best tips not because you want the game but because you are so passionate about curly hair! You're doing a great job keep it up!
I’ve been reading more people say they “clap” the crunch instead of scrunch. No one seems to have a video on this, I was wondering if you had any opinions about it.
idk if she's on youtube but danette haddox has videos on this i think
@@zoebrown2525 You're awesome, thanks. Did you see it in a curly girl Facebook group?
I like the “wrong side” it has the volume
she has other videos where she has a lot more volume
I kinda Love the big and fluffy “wrong” side more 💁♀️😁
I like the don't side better, lol. You funny girl.
Left side us better then my “good” hair day
Also i always add to little or too much never the right amount
I love both sides 🤷
Do you have any videos on how to go to bed with your hair ? My hair is a mix of wavy/ straight at the bottom and wavy/loose curl at the top . I find it gets ruined when I go to sleep
Indeed I do! Night time routine - th-cam.com/video/agaIvWIaumU/w-d-xo.html Morning routine video - th-cam.com/video/LSEckZc-msg/w-d-xo.html
CURLMERGENCY!!!!!
My hair doesn’t last past the second day and I’ve been doing every thing right
You might need a stronger gel. And dont be afraid to refresh on day 3 with extra water
Ali Casper definitely agree with you on that, a thicker gel might be what you need. My hair looks good till day 3, after that I refresh the ends of my hair. I moisturize the frizzy parts with water and then mix some gel and curl lotion to style. Works wonders!
HennAime thank you guys for the feed back ❤️
Your hair stays curly even as you're combing through it, my hair when wet and combed through goes completely straight, the only way for me to activate my curls is to scrunch it, my problem is I can never seem to find anyone who has hair like or very similar to mine, and even with all the info out there on hair types I just never seem to fit into any category because my hair is all over the place, I have a mixture of loose spirals, tighter spirals, ringlets, and curl similar to yours, I also have one section of hair about an inch and half wide that is just straight (never curls, spirals, waves nothing). My hair is just a big bag of weird!
Mine is the same and it's so frustrating! Because one day it can be gorgeous curls then the next it's one frizzy mess even tho you've done the same thing!
@@jessicawheldon68 SAME! My other problem is my hair has a lot of bounce and natural volume, but once I put a product in (no matter what kind I swear I've tried every product on the market for curly hair) I lose the volume and bounce which I love and my hair just hangs flat which I hate, so I try to use less product to keep my volume, but that always ends in a frizzy rats nest disaster. I'm starting to think there is no hope for my hair. It's either going to be a frizzy wild mess or flat and boring.
i struggle with the same problem omg but except the front of my hair always curls up while the back doesn’t and it looks so bad i hate wearing my natural hair it looks so bad and frizzy and idk what to do :(
i wanna seeee!!!
Maybe you have 2b-2c hair and it's heavy so that's why there are straight sections. I struggle with that too and I am 2c-3a.
okay mel i like the “wrong” side bc volume and it looks so big 😍
Mell, I know this sounds crazy, but I like my soaking wet. When I hear the squish sound I know the leave-in is in the hair. I add the gel then squish my hair let it air dry I live in south Florida and its freaking hot so I take advantage of the heat. By the time I get to work by 10 am my hair is completely dry. I get great curls and this method works for me.
You’re one of the few people I don’t get bored watching when I need information about my hair :((💕
How do you detangle your hair when you’re refreshing it?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I DON’T need handfuls of product on my fine, thin hair. Game changer.
The right side is supposed to look bad!?!? Sorry hon, both sides look gorgeous, just different. I'd be happy for my hair to look like either side!
That's probably because her hair is super healthy and well taken care of. Hair that hasn't been this trained probably will be looser and frizzier. Mine sure is!
Yep, same! 😁
I'm so glad to have received this tips! Thank u so much! I have got 2a/2b wavy hair e this made it super defined and soft! 😍😍
I actually prefer the volume of the other side
Would love to see more videos on wavy hair.
I like the fluffier side better. It's really flowy and natural looking. But you have great looking hair regardless.
The "good" side lookd a little crispy to me
So happy to have discovered your page, I've changed my cream application and added gel too, and the end results were amazing!!✨ Had definition till day 5🙌🙌🙌 which would have been impossible before😰
So thank you very much💕
Even your bad application looks good lol
Right?? Curly people are lucky. I feel like having waves is much harder because they don’t blend as well together and can look super limp and undefined more easily than spirals.
Sarah S. totally agree
Sarah S. i also always have issues with some of my hair being straight since I dont have curls just waves!
I rock the "dont" side..and i love it🤷
Liked the vid too
My 5 year old daughter and I love watching your videos!!! You are teaching me how to deal with my own hair (my mom did not know what to do with my curls) so I can start teaching my daughter how to deal with her curls and be proud of them. Thank you!!!
That baby is beautiful
I love your videos 😍 please do a tutorial for us wavy girls 😊
That would be awesome 😍
Yasssss! A wavy tutorial!
Mell do a Rice Water video !!!
Having curly hair is sUCHHH a flex when you know how to properly take care of it. I’m getting there mel im getting there!
I can get my hair to do that but after I go to bed then get up in the morning its all messed up. What do you do to fix it in the morning?
For some reason, everything makes so much more sense when you explain it! Love your videos Mel. 😍
You literally give good tips and it works so good on my hair. For sooo many years I was taught to put product in drenching wet hair which is why I would give up on my hair. I started wrenching just a bit of water out of my hair first and then applying product. Turns out it dries so much faster and looks better !?!? Thank you so much. ❤️
Well, to me, the frizzy side looks good too 😄
Does anyone have a recommendation of a super strong hold gel that also isn’t heavy on the hair? My hair is super course and frizzy and therefor needs the hold but also gets weighed down...
Nona39 whats your hair type
3b/3c. High porosity and dense.
@@NonaNona_39 have you tried wetline? or the mane choice braid out glaze? just did a video on it and really like it!
Mixed Kidd I haven’t. Thanks! I’ll check out your vids!
I've had great results with the Biotera alcohol free gel from Sally's Beauty Supply. I can also use a lot without my hair getting sticky or flaky
Mel, PLEASE 🙏🏽 PLEASE do a tutorial with UK curly products! 🇬🇧 ❤
And thank you so so much for your amazing videos, you've helped me transform from a frizz ball to a curly qween 👩🏽🦱 x
Lots of love from the UK and please keep up the good work x
both sides look good. lol
Actually like the wrong side better lol
The wrong side looked fuller the defined side looked lacking body
