I absolutely LOVE how knitty and gritty scientify mell gets. I always feel like I actually understand what you explain. ❤️
I add a little Epsom salt to my spray bottle that I use in my hair. I spray a little in my hair when I get out of the shower before I put my products and it definitely works for my wavy curls. The trick is not to use too much. You should be able to smell it in the bottle but not be able to feel it in your hair. Otherwise it will have a gritty film to it and create frizz.

@@quinlantaylor04 Thank you !💕
his one comment answered all my questions in literally 1 second, thank youuuu
When I was younger, I didn't know I had curly hair so I always thought pools were magical. I'd get out of them and my hair would air dry into beautiful waves but it was always so crispy! I hated how it felt but it looked marvelous so I'd leave it for a day or two before washing. Now after years of knowing I have curls, I finally know why the pools did me so great, but so dirty at the same time.
Need me some salt spray! 😍
Loving Texture Tuesday! Thank you Mel!
I absolutely love watching you and your sister!! I am ordering your verb hair gel mousse. I can't wait!!!
Omg I just bought a sea-salt spray and was, literally last night, wondering where it would sit in my curly hair routine! I swear you guys can read minds. 😂 Thanks for the video, perfect timing!
Omg I just read your name and it’s spelled the same way as my moms name my moms name. My mom has never ever met someone with the same name spelled the same way. That’s so cool thank you ☺️.
I loved this video!!!! I have extremely fine/thin 3A/3B hair that is SUPER soft. After I put my hair products in my hair and diffuse to about 50% dry, I spritz a homemade sea salt/water mixture into my hair sparingly, then finish diffusing. Using just a little bit of the mixture makes SUCH a big difference in my curls; the sea salt spray gives my soft hair the extra structure/hold it needs and it gives my curls some extra oomf! Salt sprays are definitely worth exploring if you have soft or limp/flat hair like I do ☺️
Yay! Love scientify mell! Also, loving the foaming gel. Talk about va-va-volume!
My hair curls up nicely after swimming in the ocean, but it's way too drying. For curly hair sugar spray is the way to go, doesn't dry hair like salt and works very similarly, and apparently xylose sugar (or xylitol) is extremely effective at giving that look while helping maintain moisture in hair. It also works as a good heat protectant apparently. I have been using sugar spray as a curly hair spray for a while now and I love it. It would be great if you did a video like this comparing salt spray and sugar spray 🙂
Yes, sugars can be used as a humectant for hair, but as you mentioned certain types work better than others. Honey and honeyquat are other great examples of sugar being used as a humectant in haircare.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 Not only for humectants but also for hold. I use mine as curly hairspray but with no drying. It’s also a great root lifter for the wavy types. I have 3B curly hair but my roots insist on pretending they are 2B LOL
Do you buy one or make your own? Please share deets!
@@kamehaz I make my own 🙂
Funny, my father told me his mother used to put sugar water on his hair when he was a baby to make his hair curlier. This was back in the 1930’s.
Mell... i love you.. I wish i knew about you years ago. I grew up being the only curly hair person in my family (recessive genes are strong in this one) so I never knew how to take care of my hair and always hated it. Growing up doing semiannual relaxers and basically anything i could to get rid of them, it was a very miserable childhood lol. But watching your videos and learning how to PROPERLY take care of my hair have given me a whole new appreciation for my natural curls. Thank you for everything you do ♥
Scientify Mell it’s great to have u back💓
I was on a cruise and omg my hair was so so wavy and wild. Loved it.
So happy to see Scientify Mell! So much fun 😍
This video is so eye-opening for me. I've never thought I that I needed a salt spray in my routine because I have fine hair that needs more grit. Thank you !
Oh my goodness! Why did you have to film at 3am?! Thanks for working so hard for us! My Verb Foam Gel arrives today and I can’t wait to try it!
I used k18 & it over moisturized my hair, changed my porosity and I lost my curls. I missed my high porosity and curls. I have been using protein, vinegar, and salt spray and my curls are slowly returning as my hair is getting drier. This makes complete sense after watching this video. Thank you sciency Melly!!
Great video! I like learning all the scientific stuff. I would like to see an intro to co-washing video. Its something I'd like to try but I'm not sure where to start.
I am late to the party, but it was the video i‘ve been searching for, thank you!!!
Happy texture Tuesday and welcome back scientify Mell ❤️❤️
missed her
Thank you so much for all the videos, esp this one. I started my wavy/curly journey after going to a new local salonist and she's the first salonist to mention that I had textured hair. Others simply mentioned I had a LOT of hair and would often blow dry it/straighten (a few years ago I was really envious of silky asian hair). But this new salonist was the first to offer to diffuse it and show me the voluminous curls I always had (which I like the look, big fan of 80's curly hairstyles, but I didn't think I could pull it off because my hair was dense and not curly).
Since that visit to the salon I looked into my hair type more and have discovered a whole new look for myself I never knew was always there. I've enjoyed wearing my hair down now instead of putting it up. It's hard not to out of habit, but been enjoying the curly to loose waves every week. Sometimes the gels don't hold yet, but I did enjoy the light foaming gel. I LOVE THE MORINGA SERUM. It's a little lighter than coconut when I don't need as much. And have recently discovered the effortless look of salt spray after a trip to a water park. Oddly enough it's the best hold I've had. I could tell my hair felt at home with it. Again, thank you so much for the educational videos, the encouragement, and inspiration.
Thank you for making this video!! I just tried a sea salt spray after struggling with my wavy hair for months and it looks better than ever!
Happy Texture Tuesday!! Love my salt sprays I have fine hair so I need them for the grit they give me hair! My fav would be ag dry lift although it's not technically a salt spray! Love scientify Mell always coming with knowledge!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘
I've been to the sea once. It was before I realized I had anything but straight hair. I got so many compliments (including from my MOTHER lmao, who is VERY difficult to impress or please) for a few days after being in the sea that I came home from that vacation and immediately looked into sea salt sprays. It's where my love of Verb was first born!
And I've missed Scientiffy Mell!
Yessss love it when scientify Mel comes on with some information! Congratulations on being Amanda's made of honor! Also i used your new curl foam for the first time and I'm obsessed 😍
Same. It literally just became my holy grail
Just got my Verb curl foam but waiting for a haircut tomorrow and my poison Ivy to clear up before I use it. So excited. ❤
My curl cream has magnesium sulfate in it so I was so glad when you spoke about curl creams too! Thanks Mell, your advice and expertise is always appreciated! My waves thank you
What is the name of the cream?
@@abigailgopher3043 AG recoil :)
Wondering if you have any DIY's for a curl refreshing spray for next day dry and sad hairs? Love scientify Mell LOL
Mell your hair is THRIVING. 💅
My hair is prone to hydra fatigue and this year I started using salt sprays to fry my hair out and I’ve always noticed since my younger days that getting out from the beach water gave me beautiful defined curls ugh the synchronizations! Lol thank you for discussing this Mel
I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at "hydra" fatigue 🤣🐲🐲🐲
Here to thank you for your collab with Verb on the Curl Foaming Gel. It’s wonderful! It has really good hold without loss of softness, and it gives a really nice shine, especially when paired with the Verb oil. The definition is perfection. There’s barely any scent to it, so it doesn’t compete with any fragrance I choose to wear. It does a really nice job of refreshing 3rd and 4th day hair with a little water. I feel like I’ve found the product I’ve been looking for, finally, after so much trial and failure with other gel-type products. Congratulations, and thanks again!
(Note to Verb- do more products with Mell, please! This ish is amazing!)
this made me so happy!! Thank u for taking the time to share your experience with me and for your support!! Im so glad u love it as much as I do🤩
The Verb oil spray is GREAT! I’m very impressed.
Hi! Could you share which is your hair type? I want to know if it could work for my hair too!
@@hatsunenitananami6749 I think between 2c and 3a, about to my navel. I hope that helps!
Yes!!! Tysm! 💖💖💖
Greetings from England!
Can't wait to get my hands on your products as soon as they are available!
Been thinking, if I travel over to Canada from England... Will Mel do my hair? (Puppy eyes) please?
BEACH LIFE HERE. You should so make a video about hair care tips and products to use for people who live near/at the beach/ocean! Like me :)
LOVE that gel cream Mell. Y'all nailed it! 👏 the volume I get is amazing
Gel foam!! Lol
Yay! SO glad you are loving it!
Happy texture Tuesday!
Are we gonna see a full wavy cousin video with the new Verb foam? Her hair is looking great!
Well, I tried a salt spray before watching this video because I've recently heard you talk about it in other videos. 😀 This was great information. And the salt spray made my curls look great! Thanks so much, I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos!
Oh my gosh! Extra science-y Scientiffy Mell AND magnesium sulfate? This video is everything I've ever wanted!
Omg scientify mell is backk 🤩
it's been a while!!
I went to Bali last month and I had my hair in cornrows until I came back home, my curl pattern has never looked better! 😍 I had a feeling it was bc of the saltwater in the ocean I was swimming in almost every day, happy to know I was right! 😂
Dipping my hair in ocean water gives me giant beautiful spiral curls. It's salt and debris giving it more texture, drying it so it holds more curl and the ocean is like a giant bowl for the bowl method.
Yet again, I am jelly of Purple Patty's hair! And I wish I had purple in my name as well :)
Kristin Ess makes a sea salt foam that is amazing if you’re a wavy haired girl like me!!
Nym Beach babe Salt spray I use it often. Love it on my fine hair.
I already know the answer 😁 when I sweat, my wavy hair goes mega curly, even though I DO NOT want it to. Also, the salts and minerals in hard water make my hair curl. Whenever I go back home to Vancouver from Southern Ontario, the Vancouver soft water leaves my hair soft and in limp waves, the way I like it. Ontario hard water makes my hair curl.
How the heck are you still so coherent at 3am!!! Not a fan of how “sea salt” sprays make my hair feel, hoping stocks of the AG Fresh Definer are replenished in Australia now they have the new packaging out, it’s been out of stock here for months!
I am so in love with your curl foam colab with Verb ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video for a mermaid like me! I love swimming in the ocean! 🌊🧜🏻♀️ Also, I was in Hawaii last week and took along your new Foaming Gel! Got to use it for the first time there. I love it!! Posting my review of it soon!🧡➿️🧡
Totally unrelated but I just love ur dark hair!
Curious to see the results here , my best friend once bought some salt product and it did actually work.
OMG YOUR HAIR IS FLOURISHING PLEASE 😭😭 i miss my hair so much idk what happened but i need it to look like this again 🥺🥺
I use the verb sea salt spray maybe once a month and I don't add gel or anything else to it and it really enhances my curls without the crunch. I always finish with an oil after diffusing and then it's good for a week.
Hello Manes by Mell I recently found this video of yours and I have a few questions regarding the salts and leave in conditioners
@Manes by Mell I have ultra fine, low density, virgin (untreated/not colored) mixed curls and waves. What prep products would you recommend? I live in a hot, dry, with some days of 90% humidity, climate. Do you recommend the verb leave in or the curl cream? I have purchase the curl kit plus the foam so I do have the full collection arriving soon.
@manesbyMell, the verb CFG is the ONLY product I’ve used that gave me volume at the roots! I was shocked! I am so glad I bought a backup, lol. But you did that girl! Thank you! Nothing else worked on my flat roots! My hair is quite long and I was worried I’d have to chop it to get volume but now I don’t thanks to youuu. 💕. Miracle product for real! 👏🏽
Thanks for sharing!! Im so glad you have been loving it🤩🤩🤩
I have wavy hair and a very light application of sea salt spray makes my hair sort of gritty and piecey the same way it does when I actually swim in the ocean. But I can't actually use it it my "everyday" rotation because it actually does make my hair dirty and dry it out in a gross way, kinda like I just went swimming in the ocean 🤣😎. It doesn't actually make my hair curly though. For that, I need a good curl enhancer and usually I would need to put my hair in pin curls or rollers.
Basically, sea salt spray is a cool product. But it really just does just mimic what swimming in the ocean does to your hair, so if you like that look, go for it 👌😎.
This was so helpful I use innersense I create waves occasionally and I do notice i get great results but the next day it doesn't feel so great so I don't use it often. What do you think about redken cat c protein spray? I received my curly hair product's stock up today and included that spray as my hair adores protein. Just wondering what ppls experience is with it?
Hold up, wait minute. This is the first time I have heard you talk about using a pre-shampoo oil treatment for your dry ends. I've watched you for a couple of years, and generally re-watch a lot of your especially updated wash routines with you and Amanda seester, but I am coming up with a blank on the pre-oil dealio. Can you give me a product suggestion, please. Thank you.
Do you recommend curl define creams? I have 2a-2b hair that has no hold. Also, gels and mousses leaves the hair super dry like straw and too little of them has no hold
I was literally sitting wondering . Hey what happened to my curl seester tonight (video my time) . Good to have scientify back
WE HERE! happy texture tuesday!!
I used to use the John Frieda sea salt stuff for the beachy, coconut smell once upon a time lmao. It was just okay, but it left a tacky feeling to my hair I never quite got over. Bumble & bumbles was the worst imo. It made my hair feel like glue.
I'd like to see you test Wave sprays that are salt free like Eva NYC has one in the lazy Jane line
Hi Mel. I noticed that you’re using AG Curl Trigger. Why did you not use AG Beach Bomb? That is what I have using this summer. I have waves of course and I put a little Verb Ghost Oil before I apply AG Beach Bomb. What do you think? TIA
Hey Mel, love your work! You are amazing ❤ Can i please request an episode on what regular pool (chlorine) lap swimmers can do to protect our curls? I swim on average twice a week, I’m in the pool for about an hr.. but my hair suffers and get dry and frizzy.. I don’t have loads of time for treatments because I often rushed to get ready for work in time after a morning swim.. I have tried putting oil on my hair before the swim to make a protective barrier, but then my swim cap slides off ! 😂 ..anyways, any help would be much appreciated 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙌
have you tried wetting your hair and putting a bit of leave in conditioner before swimming?
8:00 Your beauty is amazing 😻
u r far too kind!!
Awesome video once again, Mel!! Quick question while on the topic: do you have any advice for coil training low porosity hair? Bc when I try finger coiling, my hair doesn't absorb any product and it stays greasy and full of residue in my hair, but my hair needs the training. Any advice?
Not sure if this will be helpful but I had the same issue when I was curl training my hair. Its low porosity, and it doesn't matter how many times I tried to finger curl my hair it just looked horrible, the product was just sitting on my hair, etc. What I did instead is on days I wanted to do a deep condition or when I wasn't planning on going anywhere, I would apply my conditioner/deep conditioner and then finger curl every section and then just let that be for the whole day, or until the next day and then wash out and style as normal (scrunching instead of finger styling). Overtime it still made a difference, just took longer since its not finger curled as often or for the actual finished style. Sometimes I'd even style my hair with my curl products, finger curl, and then just let it be on days I wasnt going anywhere so that way its training my hair but no one has to see how bad my hair looks. Not sure what the actual solution would be cuz I never was able to figure it out but this method did end up working out in the end for me.
@@bambifromhell thank you so much! I'm going to give this a try! It's nice knowing in not alone in the struggle haha 😌
I finally got the AG Hair Curl Fresh Definer in Australia and my products have been very runny. My salon was replaced it twice, she thinks thrformula is being heated up while beening shipped from Canada. Fingers crossed they the issue soon.
Does the water from the Great Salt Lake so the same thing???🤔 I live in Utah when I'm in Salt Lake City. I'm in fizz city during the summer.
Oddly for me, my hair used to get really curly from sea water before I started the curly hair journey and had thought that my hair was straight (or you know, just bushy and a mess - wavy girl here). Salt water was my first hint that maybe my hair was not straight. But then since I started using proper CGM hair products, not just shampoo and conditioner, my hair doesn’t like salt water anymore, it always gets really stringy and shapeless afterwards.
I consider a good cast stronghold because without it my curls look frizzy and stretched out after day three.
Mell can you do a video about haircuts for curly hair? For example I have a rounded diamond face and every website says that side bangs look good with my face shape. I can’t do a middle part because my part is thinner in the middle. But anyway, my curly hair and side bangs don’t mix so I don’t know what hairstyle to do
already done! th-cam.com/video/XugtsPW_kU8/w-d-xo.html
If you use table salt and water. Can it have the same effect?
Can you review the Shark FlexStyle?!?!
*Puns intended every time* 😏
Lol I love you Mel 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Mell, I hurt my knee. Took two epsom salt baths (lots of salt). Didn’t think anything about it and just plopped back and enjoyed. My hair has looked awful for a week. None of my usual fixes are working. What should I do?! What do I need ScienTiffy????!
💜 the science! I always wondered why my hair feels like a gluey haystack after the ocean 🤣 I love your videos! Thank you! (Your hair looks amazing as always!)🕉💟
Hi Mell, I love your videos, you've already helped so much with my curls ❤. Can you recommend a good clarifying shampoo, preferably one that's Curly Girl Method approved? I'm having real trouble finding anything I like! I really wanted to try the Ouidad Twist one, but I can't seem to get in anywhere here. I live in Ireland and products are much harder to come by over here 😅.
kinky curly come clean is CG approved last i remember. but check the ingredients yourself incase theyve reformulated!!
@@yakult9618 Thank youuuu! 😊 😊
What did you think about xmondo waive spray ?
I have straight hair, fine and long. It does not hold any shape. I’m wondering if this would be useful for me.
What about with chlorine? My 15 yo son has about 3c/4a hair and a lot of it to the middle of his back which shrinks to the middle of his neck once dry. It loves protein... but let tell you when he gets out of a pool, his curls are loving life. Like bouncey defined shiny curls. I almost feel bad washing it after. Me and my girls look like traditional curly nests after a day of swimming... lol!!
It definitely made my hair curlier. Unfortunately it made my hair very dry too. Must find a balance.
Amazing what happened with the doll in the middle! 😮😮😮
Your videos remind me of Bill Nye the science guy.
I am still transitioning but oh boy my hair loooooved the sea (Greece). I have never seen my hair so beautiful and defined. I also had to use shampoo and conditioner with sulfates yet my hair loved too. Came back to the city (Dublin) and my hair is so so sad 😅😂😭
Hi Mell , I follow you and Your advice helped me a lot I have curly hair like your sister but lately I bleached my hair and did short bob cut now my hair is frizzy and very dry also my curls aren’t really good could you please tell me what to do I am desperate because my hair looks like a clown’s hair.I really appreciate if you answer me.
Obviously I don't have Mell's expertise, but I don't think it's unusual for your hair to react that way. It underwent damage and then the shock of a dramatic hair cut. I personally would use a bond building treatment for hair repair, and give your curl pattern time to adjust to the new length! Best of luck curlfriend 💖
My dry damaged hair is lighter and curls better but then I get a worse (than I already have) breakage halo. Healthy well conditioned hair straightens on me. That's why extremely drying mousse gives me great curls but damage
First 💕🙌🏽.
Luv ya girl🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
all i can think about is August by Taylor and the "salt air" line
Does anyone have any recommendations for drugstore curl creams with magnesium sulfate?
Omg! Manny and Quinn!!!!!!!
u like what i did there LOL?
After a sweaty gym sesh (I workout with my hair up) my edges are always much curlier, must be the salt in my sweat!
my mane CURL Mell xoxo
I have this issue since i lightend my hair my curls are forming really hard.
I have a questions, should I use any styling products after salt spray?
Oh no, time to go shopping again😅
Does this apply to lakes too?
I cannot believe I did not see this video six months ago. Magnesium sulfate salt spray has really changed my curl pattern.
Really now?
What would be a good curly haircut for someone who has a bad hairline
Hi! Mel if you’re watching this, I hope you can help me. If not, maybe someone else can? I’m someone with course/frizzy/wavy curly hair. Whenever I try to heat style my hair, or use a hair straightener. I get major shedding/breakage. What can I do to stop this? I’m not someone who heat styles their hair often, but I do like to heat Style occasionally.
Any suggestions would be wonderful!
My hair is not working! I have great products and do everything right(I hope) but by day 2 my curls loosen up and it’s just all frizz. Any advice on how to get waves/curls back after day 1? I tried re-wetting but it just adds more frizz because the curls won’t hold together. I tried protein treatments thinking I might be over conditioning but not much has changed. I stopped coloring years ago and have cut and grown out my hair, and rarely ever use heat. please help!!
did your hair have more texture/hold curls better when you were coloring your hair?
