The old hair color was mad cute, but her current curls are JUICY and well worth not using bleach anymore! And the bloopers at the end were hilarious!
I was unhinged this video LOL I hope you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching 🫶🏻
But on camera looks really flat…
@@ManesByMell I literally LOL'd, not a little snort or breathy laugh, but full on barked as soon as the blooper reel started 😄 It cracked me up, girl!
@@rmdebora flat?? Where?? Either you're seeing things or just jealous, lol.
honestly I love her end bloopers
Personally the way I saw the devacurl damage lawsuit back then is... When a brand gets bigger and bought by a bigger corporation, there will be changes made somewhere along the production line to accommodate for the extra demand. I don't think it's unlikely that something went wrong (maybe a bad supplier? An accident with improper storage? Something else?) and that some batches of products actually did get spoiled and cause damage. I remember many people assuming it was all simply hair loss caused by buildup but it's really difficult to armchair diagnose such a thing if you haven't seen someone's daily routine up close.
Olaplex, on the other hand, is a specialty product that requires at least a basic understanding of hair science to use properly - THAT is a product I can believe that people are using improperly and causing damage as a result. I still don't like siding with companies over consumers (because in the end most companies will come out of a lawsuit with little more than a fine and a slap on the wrist), but at least I can see how this could have been caused by improper product use
You are spitting straight facts
Don't forget how common it is to damage your own hair to blame a product to get money. They need to prove it very thoroughly until then I think they're after money or idiots who can't use it properly.
I never understood why the "Deva Curl" issues was brushed off so lightly on this channel because of EXACTLY what you said ....
THANK YOU. I use Olapex daily and have for 4 years because I bleach my hair platinum and have curly hair. MY 👏 HAIR 👏 IS 👏 HEALTHIER 👏 BECAUSE 👏 OF 👏 IT 👏
These are alleged injuries right now, so before everyone goes alllllll crazy accusing Olaplex for damaging peoples hair WAIT TO SEE IF THE LAWSUIT STICKS. This product has been used thousands and thousands of times and 30 people have said it damaged their hair?
If it turns out to be that they bought their products on discount from Amazon and NOT from a certified retailer I'm going to lose it.
Devacurls lawsuit did actually turn into a settlement so.... I'm just saying 🤷 (I also use Devacurls products)
Just wait until the lawsuit is finished before publicly ridiculing the company
Yea I don’t think the Deva Curl lawsuit is a fair comparison to Olaplex. I used to be a hair stylist of 7 years and I definitely think it should’ve only remained available to professionals because of the reasons you stated. There was 100% something wrong on the manufacturer’s end at Deva Curl because you don’t need a hair stylist to use their products. Also, they blamed customers hair build up when they had a clarifying product so that’s dumb. I lost about 1/3 of my hair to DC products and also had scalp irritation. I’m good now but literally thousands of women have the same and worse chronic issues due to DC products. There’s no other explanation and it’s so annoying that their products are still sold in stores.
Mell, your videos are my favorite. I wish you could do a video with your top 3 products from each category. Curl creams, gels, mousses, and so on. I love those types of videos.
That would be nice!
Yes I agree with this
Great idea!!
She usually doesn’t unless it’s a sponsor because it’s in HER best interest to make money and not give products free advertising 🙄 I guarantee she will make a video like that, but it will absolutely include a sponsorship. She does this with seasonal routine updates. She’ll use these products as a “Spring routine” because it’s sponsored and then I will never see her use them again. It’s very frustrating
Yes please❤
I think what I most dislike about my curly hair journey is the money and time spent on ineffective products. I have donated manyvand still have a drawer full of stuff I wont ever use. What I like best is figuring out what products give the best results at any point in time. I finally realized that just because something worked beautifully last year doesn't mean I should buy multiples because things change...including how my hair behaves.
I know I am a bit late on this comment, but thank you for addressing your hair changing. I always identified with my very curly hair. One day someone said my hair was more wavy than curly! I went home and cried and realized just how much my hair had changed. You are right that we need to change up our routines to suit our current hair. I totally quit coloring several years ago and now have super white hair with nice big curls. My routine is very different now and suits my fine white hair and enhances the curl. never get tired of the compliments.
Your curls in your profile pic are gorgeous! Hope I have lovely white curls like you when I grow older
I’ve got a lot of salt in my pepper. More by the day :) my curl patterns are definitely being affected. I’ve tried to adjust to encourage strength in my silvers. I dream of having it long and healthy but my greys are more fragile than my darks . If you don’t mind sharing your routine/ products I would love to hear what you do 😊
Yes if you don’t mind, please do share your routine.
You look really pretty!
I got sucked into using olaplex by some curly hair videos. But I have low porosity hair and I instantly realized it did absolutely nothing for me. It’s a product for people with damaged and high porosity hair. It’s very important to know what type of hair you have and buy products based on that. Don’t just buy whatever an influencer is using.
Its for bleached hair mainly…
Yep as someone with low porosity virgin hair, I’ve learned to look for what ingredients work for my hair rather just buying recommended brands/products from influencers
i was shocked when it started getting as mainstream as it did…..because it’s not meant for that
@@ImNotCallingYouALiar what gel do you use? My low porosity is driving me crazy!!!
It was useless before my hair was dyed. Now it’s bleached and it feels like it helps.
I’d love you do a video on older silver haired naturals. Extra care tips, thinning hair, etc.
Yes please!
I second that!
Please do!
Yes!!!
Yes!
I have NEVER found a bonnet that i can get to stay on my head. No matter what i try that sucker is gonna be on my pillow when I wake up.
The bonnet for me causes major shrinkage. I instead do two pineapples; one for the top and one at the bottom. I also may braid the bottom of my hair into two sections, and pineapple at the top. That seems to work well for me.
Try pinning it in place with Bobby pins!
For me its the headband that gives me a giant headache,
Ps I don’t have a giant head
My daughter bought me a Yannie's bonnet. I love it. It's super perfect. No slipping, no sliding, no shrinkage.
I'm HOT 24/7 I'd never wear one .I wash my hair every day. NO SECOND DAY HAIR FIR ME .NEVER WORKS .
When Mel said she’s not a curl cream girl anymore I felt that! And for awhile I was so confused why creams stopped working for me, and I realized it’s because my hair is now HEALTHY! I have 2b/2c curls and now I use foam and gel only in my hair. If I ever need creams again I will gladly dust off my old favourites but honestly less work is nice too!
Omg you just made me realize something 🙏🏼 I was also wondering why my curls weren't as great as before and it's true my hair now became healthy!! So I have to use foam and gel products now?
@@kimybarahona579 well in my case because my hair no longer needed the extra moisture it just weighed it down. Once I cut it from my routine I noticed my hair was much bouncier. Maybe try it without and see how you feel? If it’s still giving you the result you want then I don’t think there’s any harm in continuing to use it! I just have such fine hair if I can have less weight I always like that option :)
Isn't foam similar to gel - holding the curls,? Do you use them separately or both?
@@ausryproductions4295thank you for mentioning the healthy hair and products no longer working… I’ve been thinking it here and there but then I second guess myself, definitely going to skip curl cream next wash day!
Just want to say that I'm 31, have 3a high porosity curls, and I'm happy with my curly hair and my routine for the first time in my life. And it's absolutely because of you and this channel! So thank you
I have 3a and high porosity curls too. Could you please let me know your routine? I stil have problems. Thank you!
@@patricialamb7311 I use AG recoil (a pretty small amount!), I brush it through. I then use a little bit of the curlsmith volume foam on my roots. I then finish with the AG mousse gel or liquid effect gel. Then I diffuse. I personally don’t do much brush styling because my hair has a tendency to clump into giant curls and the mousse seems to encourage good clumping. I use ghost verb oil to scrunch out the crunch and on non-wash days to tame a little frizz. If I need to refresh, I just use a little water and the mousse (the NYM curl talk mousse is also great)
I also have medium-coarse hair strands. Just worth noting!
I would love if u come to Israel and try the water and then tell us what to use and how to save our curly hair
I am also 31 with (mostly- multiple patterns in random places) high porosity 3a curls and also LOVE AG recoil!
@manesbymel I really love you because you are the only person to clarify things like texture, fine Vs coarse ( I was incorrect in my understanding of coarse hair) and you teach us how to work with the hair we have instead of trying to force change it. ❤ Thank you, it's always been a sensitive subject for me.
I love your natural look, Mell. Your curls look happy!
I’ve been with you a long time & I love your honesty. There are so many variables in curly hair care & you give us so many options to try. I love wash day bc it’s like a big science experiment 😂 🕉️💜 You’re the best!
i’m so glad you made this video because i’ve been here over the last 4 years and wondering for a while now why you stopped with a few of these! ❤️
So grateful I came upon your videos! They’re super entertaining 😂 and super informative! Started watching you when I started my curly hair journey back in 2020 ❤️
Mell, I think your hair looks better than ever! I love your natural color and your curls seem healthier!
This isn't her natural color, but yes it's very pretty!
As a fellow curlie who suffered from the DevaCurl scandal, then used olaplex n°3 for sometime (I currently bleach my hair) thus now shifted to k18 … I completely agree with you Mell & thank you for the realness in this update 😇😍
how would you say the three compare? i’m trying to really decide if i need any before dropping that big coin
To me, beauty products are like food: whats perfectly fine for some, will cause intolerance or allergy in others. You need to find what works for you without assuming if its bad for you, its bad for everyone.
Your video's make my week! This one was super helpful! I'm also going through a product transition stage and it is a STRUGGLE to come to terms with. Thank you for all you do! You are amazing in every way! Cheers!
Happy Texture Thursday!! Excited for this video!! Hope your having a fantastic trip!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘
I definitely agree with you on the Denman brush. I bought it and used it only a few times.. it was ripping my hair out.. was definitely too stiff and no give with the bristles. I also agree with the bonnet! I had the one that Amanda has on in the clip.. with the flowers. And it slipped off my head a lot! I now use one from your Amazon list. Thank you!! I am now going to check out your website which is super exciting!! ❤
I just discovered your channel yesterday and have been binge watching! Of course I wanted to check out ALL your platforms, including your Amazon shopping list. Immediately, I was overwhelmed with the amount of products. *side note* my curls have drastically changed over the last 4 years and currently very similar to yours. Think I should binge those videos that are your current curl condition, and then choose from your Amazon shopping list those that match. Thank you for your content. Looking forward to all the things this head of hair of mine needs and can do!
Great timing with “change” with DST. Love you girl.
Hi Mel &co! I love this, your honesty is the real tea ☕️😍💯
Bloopers are always so awesome 😂
And thanks for the video!
Hi Mell!! Entertaining and informative as always!! Thank you!
You crack me up! I honestly love the outtakes at the end! 🫢🤭🤣
Your hair and skin are beautiful Mell!!
Dear All/Mell, I bought the Denman detangling brush (for fine fragile hair) and in my opinion it is much kinder and effective than the Tangle Teaser or Wet brush. It can be used on wet or dry hair. My hair is elderly, fine, coloured and thinning so I am paranoid about losing the few strands that I have left, however, this brush is so gentled glides through my knotty hair. I bought on the recommendation of my hairdresser.
Hi Debra that is so wonderful to hear, I haven’t tried it!! I’m going to add it to my list, thank you so much for sharing and for watching, I appreciate it ❤️
Do you have the actual “name” for the denman brush? I went to their website and even chose “detangling brushes”, but they have these funky names and designations. There wasn’t one that specifically said “this is for fine fragile hair”.
@@GrumpyOldFart2 Hi, the one I have is the Denman Tangle Tamer Gentle (D 93). ' Designed for fine to medium hair...children... Perfect for those with fragile hair...' I am in the UK and bought it from Boots the chemist, however, I believe that the UK Denman site has them too. I actually bought two as Boots had a special deal on. As I said my hairdresser was raving about it and combed my hair with it and I couldn't believe how easily it went through my challenging hair. Good luck and hope it helps if you do buy one, they are reasonably cheap so I took a chance, but might not work for everybody.
@@debraraby4376 Thanks! Found it on Amazon US. Oddly enough, I couldn’t find it on the actual Denman site.
@@ManesByMell scam artist in the comment section pretending to be you.
Regarding the olaplex lawsuit, I will say this: People *will* have allergic reactions to otherwise safe products. I've had this experience twice and it is super frustrating when it happens, but it isn't necessarily on the manufacturerer.
If you're someone who tends to get reactions, it is absolutely vital to patchtest any new products, be they hair care, skin care, make up or literally anything that goes on your body.
Love your videos! I’ve learned a lot from them and best part- you’re hilarious!!! Makes it much easier for me to watch 🤗
Love , you for your honesty ❤️!
OG follower here! The Aveda Be Curly brings back memories. Thanks for following up on what works (or rather, what doesn't) for you.
i actually kinda got emotional when i saw that bonnet, it was one of the major beloved characters in your early videos ❤❤
Happy texture Thursday!! Hope you’re having the best trip! Wish I could have seen you both ❤️
Hair looks awesome in both photos. I'm 51 and my hair majorly changed way better in my 20 's mid 30 's .
This is probably the best TH-cam video for hair that I had seen in 2 years. Hair Theory is a very interesting concept and I have a feeling it will be very lucrative for you in the future. Especially if you address different ages, genders and face shapes. Also people who have less than beautiful looks, what would look best on them visually. Girl that's your money maker. Thank you. ❤😊
Those curls are 💯 and your skin is 🔥 🔥 so gorgeous 😍 Keep doing what you're doing, I love watching your videos. Grazie bella!
I loved the aveda be curly because of you, and like you I found that when I use that my hair looks and feels product heavy. Even using the tiniest amount caused a weighted down look. Now I’m just about a light leave in conditioner and gel or foam. Thanks Mell, you’re the beat.
I think this is an important video. Its all about listening to YOUR hair!! If a product isnt needed in your routine anymore, then dont use it. Change is normal ❤❤❤
I used that Malibu before almost all of my color clients when I worked at smart style years ago. I loved how color deposits so evenly after using this.
Massively helpful video. My hair is pretty damaged so any additional info on what products are for is so useful. Thank you ❤
Try the Aphogee two step protein treatment. Follow the instructions very carefully! Use every two months. It really repairs damaged hair.
Great informational video. So true what I used to use before I don’t use because my hair is pretty healthy. I haven’t used Olaplex 3 in over six months. I do love the serum one. I do use that every couple of washes. I guess that’s why I don’t use a lot of my old favorites.
Edited to add this:
I also stopped using the Denman Brush to style my hair, but since my hair is pretty healthy I use my fingers to rake and praying hands to smooth. Also, since I’ve had major Covid hair loss I want more volume than definition.
I've never had any problems with Olaplex 3. And I always use a clarifying shampoo before I use it. And I only use it once a month now. Lots of love Mel!❤️💓👍
your channel is so helpful and amazing ❤
I must not have a good eye for these things because, other than color, your curls look exactly the same to me! Gorgeous!
Thanks for the follow up, bambina! I was so shocked by last week’s video that I’m considering bleaching my hair to see if my waves get tighter.
Omg! I’d you do, do it with ALL THE PRECAUTIONS! Pre treat the hair, low developer because slow and steady wins the race, and in the hands of a trusted professional 🙌🏻 good luck❤️
@@ManesByMell Thank you, yes! A professional or else about two years of research LOL
Loving the new direction
Hi Mel! I've been trying the 'up forward' technique you showed in a short recently. I'm not following the technique exactly as you showed it, but I do see a difference between using a wide toothed comb after a brush vs brush alone. Thank you!
I loved your blonde look but now your hair looks more healthy and beautiful ❤
must say you are hilarious, fun and informative. Love ya girl
K18 is awesome! My curls usually stick together no matter what I do, but with this K18 it's the perfect amount of slip.
U DID ASK US IF WE WANTED THID VIDEO YET I DIDNT THINK IT WILL bE THIS SOON
What a blessing this is
Thank so much ill enjoy this, you loyal fan
Asa
Omg Asa I’m so glad you are so welcome thank you for watching you sweetheart 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I have the orange bonnet - I’ve also had it for around 3-4 years and I’m currently wearing it 😊
I’ve found I prefer the Aveda Nutriplenish light moisture line. 3a-3b texture curls, it works well and leaves my hair light and soft 🥰
Hi Mel! I usually clarify, then olaplex then shampoo again. So yeah, I get what your saying it's a lot!
Great video as always!!! I would love a video on caring for curly kids.
Yes! I second this!!! I know quite a few moms who struggle to care for their kid’s curly hair.
This video was so useful, as a denman brush user I originally bought it for better curl results but while using it found that it caused breakage. I continued to use it as I liked the results in terms of my curls however, ill stop using it for a while and use a different brush and see if anything changes.
congrats on launching your website ❤
Love you Mell!
Love and appreciate you Anita!! 🫶🏻
Your website is on point. You do not play! Thank you so much for all of the helpful information. 😊
Edit. The outtakes at the end 🤣 made me choke on my tea 🍵. Thank you for being informative and bringing joy.
Girl you had me scared with the picture of your bonnet on the video! I got one because of you and I love it. I am so glad that you are still using them but just retired your old faithful. I have been having the same problem with some being stretched out but I have found one or two that stay on. I didn't know the made adjustable ones so I will have to look into that!
I use the denman for paddle wrapping and blow drying straight. Since it doesn’t melt and puts good tension to get a super straight blow out on coarse curly hair. I’ve had the same denman since 2012 it came im my stylist kit in hair school lol. I use it the most over round brush.
I hope i'll soon too have the "luxury" to say good by to some products because i'll finally have found the routine and products made for me and healthy hair ! But for the moment, i'm still learning "who my hair is" and what can i do to make it better, to tame it...
Thank you for all you informations!
Love your videos!
Such a great video!!!
I love your hair pulled back & your bangs down. Very cute. 😊
Thank you! Pulled it together last minute 😋
love this
Wishing you good health!
Mell! Thanks so much for this video!! I know your youtube is mainly for your hair videos, but I would LOVE to see this same video but with skincare tools and items you’re no longer using! You and Amanda’s skin is always poppin!!
Thank you for your videos always great and with all do respect all the blessings and sucess
I really appreciate that Chase, I really try to bring the most value (and fun) to my videos for your entertainment and education and I’m glad you enjoy them ❤️
Your skin looks amazing too
Mell, I love ya! Great video! I love the explanation on exactly what each product is good for. I have fine, thick hair, so I can use a little bit of heavier products because my hair is pretty thick. If I go lighter, my hair gets frizzier faster and doesn't hold as nicely after day 2.
Just for kicks... I think you'd be interested to know that David Bowie's Changes was first released in 1971, not on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. That's like my beloved favorite song by The Monkees, I'm a Believer being totally identified with the first Shrek movie from a different band. It was originally released in 1967, and no one can sing it like The Monkees. 😂
You are so goofy and I love it. Adorbs. Yes, I've fallen out of love with about of products and tools over the last few years. A lot of the same ones mentioned here. I'm just not feeling my results with be curly anymore and I have products that work way better. Also don't like creams. I prefer botanical gels as base layers.
I have that exact bonnet and it is loose enough to feel like I am wearing nothing but has a great hold to not slip off at night.
I see so many changes with how people are doing their hair routines these days (on YT). Seems like less is more. I have always applied less to my routine. I just can not handle too many steps. I like something quick and affective.
MEL, I LOVE YOUR NEW WEBSITE!!!!
I’m so glad 🥹🥹
Great video. I'm still using that orange bonnet. The price is right and it's so comfortable. One of mine has gotten a little too loose and I'm making it tighter with bobby pins till I have a chance to sew it. I haven't found an adjustable bonnet that fits comfortably and doesn't slip over my eyes uncomfortably. Still using my Denman brush, but I've been on the fence about it. I get mixed results styling with it, it's probably partly cause I can't seem to master the technique. 😉 (I use a different brush - or my fingers - for detangling.) Haven't switched cause I don't want to spend a fortune trying different brushes.
Love your channel. My hair keeps changing, due to lovely menopause. I do have my hair colored and wanted to know if you could do a video on grey, colored or not, with curly challenges. And if you could explain why the curl pattern changes so much. Darn these hormones 😊 Thank you.
You and your curls are gorgeous! Ironically, I bought that orange bonnet the first time you gave a link for it, and it too now slips, sometimes. It’s been retired.
Hi Mell you have taught me so much, love your videos. Thank you.
What do you use for a hairspray or would you recommend not using one?
More in depth product videos like this please! And with Scientify Mel!!! ❤ love you! From Florida 😊
Same! I’m in Florida too and Ive had to do a lot of research pertaining to humidity and hard water. Some updated info would be great!
The bloopers are PRICELESS!!! 😂
Bubbly personality is a great adjective for you. ❤
I have trust issues with all hair products ever since the deva curl debacle
Understandable. I’m so sorry to hear that for you😔
I love the dark color on you 😍
I really want to know where Mell gets her clothes! A lifestyle video outside of hair would be amazing!!
Cool.
Thank you for sharing ❣️😃
Absolutely!
Hey Mel! What's your opinion on popular products like Cantu and Shea Moisture being critiqued due to heavy oils, eventually leading to drying and damage? What are healthy, affordable options?
I love the bloopers at the end😂.
Do you have a video on how to define curls with the tangle teezer? I have your same hair type and yours is gorgeous
So I don't dye my hair anymore either and absolutely love how soft and healthy my hair is now. As you know, my curls also are just what you said, a little heavier and plump so the curl relaxes more. My question is, do you find you have to wash your hair more often to have poppin curls? I seem too, my scalp and hair feels good still, but curls loose definition too soon
PL make a video on wavy dry frizzy hair care routine products detailed video ☺️
Could you do an updated review/ routine with LUS now that your hair has changed? They’ve also added a gel to their line, so I’m curious on what your thoughts would be on that new product used with the All-In-One!
Thanks Mell ! I never got around to buying the Denman brush because I have very fine curly hair and I ended up buying the Tangle Teaser brush that I just love. I also felt the Olaplex was too expensive for the small amount. Also I have tried the Curl Smith products and they are too heavy for my hair. I do like the Olaplex 9 though. I sing in musical groups and need hold and no perfume or scent in products and the Curlsmith has too much scent. Thanks for the video.
Curlsmith has a fragrance free line!
@@Ohayitskyanna Thanks
It's so funny because I actually finally got olaplex for the first time *after* I heard about the lawsuit. I have wavy hair and I'm altogether too lazy to try to maintain waves/curls between wash days, so my hair takes a ton of mechanical and heat damage because of my preferred styling methods. I could tell after the first use that I won't need to use olaplex 3 more than once a week, and may end up going down to twice a month. But I could also tell there was an immediate difference. I think it'll be a staple for me, at least for a while.
Yup, it's too expensive to use more than once a month for me BUT I would use it once a week if I could afford it. That stuff is AMAZING. My hair is color damaged, dry and bleached blonde and Olaplex #3 gave my hair life again. Before I used it my curls were not even curls they looked like I used a crimping iron. After one use of Olaplex 3 I went from 2b/2c to 3A with spirals and ringlets for the first time in my life. Not only that but my hair is soft for first time in my life. I swear by that stuff!
@@vaskylark are you emulsifying it before you use it? It goes so much farther that way. I was able to get 3 uses out of the 1oz sample I originally started with and I have coarse, medium length, medium/high density hair. I think it's just easier to tell where the product is and to feel it in your hair once it's been emulsified since it gets thicker and more opaque.
@@Lucy-vx2ls I am emulsifying! I get three uses out of the small, 3.3 ounce bottle and honestly I need to use more but I try to make it last. Last time I braved the brush in hopes it would spread the product more evenly. You can't see the product in my hair at all so I know I'm not using enough. Last time I went for it and used half the bottle and the results were amazing. My husband told me my hair looked like it used to in my 20's only much curlier. I have very thick, course hair and dry, dry, dry and a whole lot of it and it's long! It was down to my butt but I recently cut ten inches or so off all to make it healthier and to get rid of gravity weighing it down. Olaplex works. Love the stuff! Only thing that really works on my hair and I've tried other masks and every conditioner known. I am shocked at how well it works.
@@vaskylark 😱 oh my goodness! I can't even imagine. It sucks that it costs so dang much. 😞
@@vaskylarkSame!👍🏼
I think the main problem with Olaplex x Deva is that Deva had a lot of plant extracts, which can change, degrade, answer to the environment a lot more than olaplex. From my memory, Olaplex doesn't carry any substance (save it patented molecule) that isn't being used in other products.
The problem may have come of new people leaving it too much time on their hair. I know. I once left it on my hair for 24h to see if anything would go different from my usual 1h.
I am using mine just fine, but I am moving away to Elizavecca CER-100 because the hype is real for this product.
However, let's hope it was a problem with a batch instead of something else.
I love, love, love the Elizavecca CER-100! It's the best conditioning mask I've ever used
Or because they use it wayyyyy too often.
Very interesting to see how likes can change over time.❤
I use the olaplex nr 3 as a conditioner/hairmask after shampoo. Keeps my curls soft and moisturist
Hahaha I am at the stage of trying to finish my hair products because I’ve had them for a minute now. My hair used to be long, so I would finish them within a few months, but my hair is so much shorter now. I still have products that you recommended years ago 😅
I've been having my hair professionally pre-lightened and direct dyed for almost 7 years now. Unfortunately, during quarantine times, I did it MYSELF AT HOME TWICE over that first year. During the second pre-lightening, I ran out of lightener and had my family member buy me more from the grocery store, and THEN on top of that, found out my cousin was dying. That lightener was on my roots for somewhere between 4-6 HOURS that day. Shockingly, none of my hair broke off that day, or in the first year after, but now those roots are my mid-shaft/ends since I'm a quick-growing wavy girl at shoulder length. I'm constantly trying to find the right balance of products that do equal parts of protection of my Pulp Riot direct dye salon color, repair to my breaking mid-shaft, and improvement of my waves’ definition and shine. Olaplex No. 3 has been in my routine since Christmas, but I don't know if it's helping on its own. I use the conditioner, but the shampoo removes too much of my beloved fashion colors! I really put myself in a pickle.
