Hey BY THE WAY if you haven’t heard I’m on Pinterest and just shared an idea pin of how to preserve the curly blowout throughout the week, check it out here for the tutorial: pin.it/16v4PtF
“ I don’t care if you straighten your hair, as long as you do it right” I’m glad to be following you now because i love being able to have my hair straight on special occasions. So now I’m saving this video for this blow out style so pretty 🥰
I silk press my 3c hair about once a month. I thought I’d leave some tips for tighter curls for anyone in the comments that cares. I use the Its a ten keratin leave in and Paul Mitchell super skinny serum on damp hair then I blow dry. Then I flat iron. I spray each section with Paul Mitchell Neuro Heat protectant before I pass the iron through. This gives that silky shiny look that lasts a week! The 410 setting is best for tighter curls too, and an iron with titanium plates gives the sleekest look.
I grew up doing blow outs. As an adult I switched to the flat iron. Now that I’m older I think I prefer the volume, bounce and personality of a blow out much more than just straight. Thanks! I needed that advice on getting those rollers!
I haven't straighten my hair in 6 years and I was thinking about it. I have never died my hair, ever not even fake temporary ones, But was scared. U came at such a good time. What would us curlfriends do without u.
Definitely team Blow Out! When I straighten my hair out, because of my fine texture, it always looks like I don’t have that much hair. I love the voluptuous, bouncy curls from a blow out. Haven’t tried the Velcro rollers yet but need to grab some of those.
Using the Velcro rollers is genius. Am I the odd one? I’ve never wanted to do a blowout or silk press. I just love my curls. I’m also kind of afraid people will say they like the blowout better & I’ll feel insecure. 😂 I did flat iron it once on a dare to only send a pic to one friend. It was so not me. She laughed so hard.
First time I ever straightened my hair, I had my "work husband" and good friends literally looking around me trying to find me because they heard my voice but couldn't see me!
@@ManesByMell that time was not fun. 🤣 I only did it because a flat iron came with my blow dryer, pre Dyson era. I made my friend delete the pic. It was soooo bad! 😂😱
Emily, I had phases where I needed a change and wore my hair straight (even though I love my curls). Almost EVERYONE said I look better with straight hair. After about 1 year or so I decided I will wear my hair curly again and the SAME people told me I look better with curly hair. :D I think people just react to new things on you. :D
Ah I needed this yesterday I just attempted a silk press lol Thank you for not judging/discouraging from using heat and different styles, but rather showing us how to do it safely ❤️
Not that I am any kind of expert, but I would like to share my methods. I do start with hair that has been given the full spa treatment: scalp treatment, cleanse, deep condition, and oil or leave in conditioner. Then I braid it tightly, sometimes one braid sometimes two, while it's still wet and let it air dry. This reduces the amount of heat that I need to use on my hair but trains the hair to lay smooth-ish. When dry I use another heat treatment and flat iron or a 1-1/2" curling iron for that blow out big wave look. My hair type is 3B and I have a waist length V cut. I have Hashimotos and a partial Thyroidectomy so I struggle with breakage along my hairline and try to be gentle to keep my length.. I only use a blow dryer when I am touching up and using dry shampoo. I thought it was worth mentioning this little tweak can help someone. 🤷🏽♀️
I've never seen anyone use my trick when I straighten my hair. I sit in front of a cold fan the whole time. I wait a few seconds between sections to let it cool. Mine lasts up to a week ( it's greasy by then but still flat and shiny)
Oh, getting those Velcro rollers stuck in curly hair is a nightmare! Great idea to put some of the oil on your hands before taking them out. I have had some major snarls! Thank you again, Seesters!
I did velcros once... I had no idea what I was doing. I thought I was going to have to cut my hair off. My husband worked a long time to help me get them out lol
I truly love how you know so much about hair, I don't think you understand how much the information you put out helps people who does not know about her. So thank you for that! Good job Amanda on the video! If I don't get my hand on that Dyson I'm going 2 scream 😤. And happy Thanksgiving from your New York seester!
I would love a video about curling with a straightener! I have a straightener and I know how to straighten somewhat well, curious if I can bring more shape and definition to my pre-existing curls with it
I used to be silk pressin' on the weekly, but have been wearing my hair curly full time for the past three years. I only ever have a blow-out done when I go to the hairdresser once every six months so that they can make sure they've cut my hair properly. I do want to get into blow-outs and possibly silk pressing again because I like having variety. We're pretty lucky that we can have that variety 😊
I've only ever straightened my hair a handful of times, the last time over 15 yrs ago. I have fine-ish strands, with VERY fine strands around my face. That's also my curliest section nowadays but back then, my front had a looser curl. However, my front pieces would NOT remain straight for more than a few hours. I could never figure out why that was. I always just blamed humidity (I'm in FL), but I didn't know anything about fine hair and hadn't even heard about porosity back then.... But now I'm getting the answers as to why my fine, highpo strands just didn't take to straightening...interesting as always!! Thanks Mell!
Where did you come up with this definition of a silk press? You obviously been watching black women again. You dont know what a silk press is or a press. Girl stop it!
Love the blow out side. Looked so healthy and bouncy! Your videos are so useful and helpful. Just started straightening again for winter as it's much better when you have to stick a woolly hat on 🙄❄ Keep up the good work x
"I may start to sweat." God, me doing anything but especially when doing anything to my hair. at the end of diffusing I sometimes feel like I need another shower lolsob
You need BETTER products BEFORE you start the blow out or silk press. Try using something like CHI or Deeper Than Hair Shampoo and Conditioner before applying the heat. Your hair should have been silky smooth with the silk press. The blow out did not come out as straight as it it was supposed to either. The products (Shampoo, Conditioner, and Treatment(s)) before applying heat to your hair is what determines how well the blow out or silk press will turn out. I think you should try different products and do this AGAIN! Please stop damaging your hair.
Happy texture tuesday! I've been waiting for the new vid to drop! Ik this is off topic but I have a question mell, my scalp has been hurting a lot these days and I'm not sure why, it hurts like someone has pulled on my hair but I'm not doing any hairstyles that would hurt my scalp. I noticed it's been hurting when I wrap my hair in a scarf at night but it makes no sense since I havent been pulling on my hair or anything when I put it in a scarf. Do you know any reasons why I could be getting scalp pain? Thanks!
I usually let my hair air dry when straightening it so I don't use as much heat on my hair. Like overnight or all day but sometimes then it's not all completely dry. Then I'll use a blow dryer.
Hey Mell as you can see from pic I use to blow dry and flyer?? my hair. After I discovered your vids I’ve been embracing my natural curly wavy all types of hair texture looks.. lol. Thanks Mane Mell for your amazing advice and for being lovely 🤟
Thank you for the informative video and for explaining and illustrating the difference between a blowout and blowdrying hair!! One question: can't Velcro rollers tear the hair, no matter how carefully you remove them? Thanks in advance!
First of all, it took me 2 years to decide to buy the dyson blow dryer.... I dried my thick mixed curly/kinky hair in literally 12 minutes.... also following your advice I straightened it in two passes which is AMAZING... can't wait to see how it lasts this week. I LOVE ALL OF YOUR ADVICE MELL!! YOU ARE A GODSEND!!
I love the silk press more because for me it makes me feel way different in my hair and gives me more confidence. Is there a video about to heat production products? I need the rundown!
Happy Texture Tuesday!! I haven't straighten my hair in years but did yesterday!! How do you always know lol!! You look fabulous as usual too!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘
I love a blow out! Give me all the volume! Using the rollers is genius but any time I have attempted to use velcro rollers I have ended up with a frizzy, tangled mess on top of my head. 😄
I have had all my life blow drying and silk pressing my hair. Two years ago I decided to got natural and this channel has been heaven send. Haven't gone back since but if I do decide one a year it would be a blow out and a tubi.
Silk press all the way but I love the 70’s waves when I straighten my hair so PLEASE make a video on how to curl with a flat iron! I have never been able to figure it out
Im not black or white (but correct me if i'm wrong) the term 'silk press' is only for more afro/african hair, correct? I agree, calling it "hair straightening' rather than a silk press would be more racially appropriate right?
I deadass falt iront my type 4 hair for the first ime today> Before i saw this vdieo. ahh well i only went one pass maybe 2 in partically icky spots but im praying i dont get damage
I'm glad to see you using an oil to provide heat protection when flat ironing your hair. I prefer doing this because I feel like sprays leave my hair feeling sticky and gross.
I have naturally curly blonde hair..I HARDLY EVER apply heat to it..BUT if I do.. I use my diffuser, pass it over my curls just for a few minutes. Lol no harm no foul..im scared to do my hair like your mel..
I really love this video...seeing is believing and I am team blowout. I've been want to straighten my hair for a different look and this video really helped me to decide.
I loved finding out about the ingredients in the products and to understand what products I should use depending on the humidity. NO GLYCERIN!!! Please tell me a good gel to use that doesn’t have glycerin! It’s so humid in PA and all my hair turns to frizz! Thank you. You make me smile 😊
I love both. For some reason I struggle with the blowout with my Dyson. It leaves my hair with a not nice texture. But when I do my hair curly.......it's awesome. Weird or what.....?
I’ve always wondered what a blow out was…….like are we not just blow drying our hair?!? NO!! Hahaha I once was blind but now I see 😆 I’m gonna give this a go! I probably have some Velcro rollers somewhere 🤔 love your videos always! ❤️
I am a ballroom dancer but also happen to have curly hair 😝 should I still wash my hair before straightening even when I get a ballroom hairstyle where A LOT of hairspray and gel (level 8-10) is involved? Because after that day I obviously need to wash everything out too 😅
Thanks for sharing. I have curly hair like yours and I always have problems will keeping my hair from frizzying.. I will need to try this oil that you used. Hope it works for me.
I like both, but also like body so I do like your silky curly side you didn't use the flat iron for. I'm scared of those curlers though. I wanted to know how to protect my flat ironed hair from heat, because I don't flat iron my hair much. It's good to know I could just use my Aveda Replenish spray leave in conditioner.
I chemically straightened my hair and now have 4 fingers of curly regrowth. GIRL I have straightened my hair every week since the chemical appliance and my roots keeps curling. Doing it the right way with no damage really is possible
Limited time colour ?? I seen a beautiful green..... was that limited ...? I don’t see it ... that said it’s too expensive now anyway .. Ps silk press girl lol But volume on roots...... aye it just works out for me I’ll try the method you used next time
Texture Tuesday is not complete without Mell screaming "Amanda!!!!" And it's definitely not complete without both the seesters on the screen. Loved the last second of the video😍❤️
Some great tips here i can share with my stylist if I ever decide to do another blowout or silk press. My problem is that I’m super picky about how my blowouts & silk presses. I want a very specific look at the end of the service. I want to leave my appointment looking like my hair grew out of my head straight. I know this is the main culprit to why my hair was damaged like it was. So I have abstained from straightening my hair because I hate frizzy volume and when my silk press isn’t sleek and shiny. I rather not inflict the damage on my fine color treated hair to preserve my go to curly hair looks.
I like the blow out, but my arms get tired lol I dont have layers anymore, so I usually just do silk press. If only I could have volume with length. When I was in school, I'd carry a hairspray and flip my hair upside down in the bathroom regularly to keep it bigger lol 😆 I think I went to the bathroom for my hair more than actually using the bathroom haha
Long time go I was watching one of your videos and I wondered “Is she black.” Then the thought moved on. Then in another video you had on your satin bonnet and I said. “Yep she’s a sister”. 🤣🤣
Can someone fill me in on the Shea moisture Curl smoothie and their curling gel soufflé! Do I use the smoothie and then the soufflé as my gel. Or do I just do my leave in conditioner and then the soufflé!! Do they do different things I’m so confused 😩 help!
I like the blow out better. But I also like speed. So silk side wins for that reason. I use the L’ange “hot comb” that’s got teeth to grin my hair as I go down the length. Just wish I knew ew if it was killing my hair with that heat
Have you tried the new revlon one step blow out dryer brush thing? (Def not the official name lmao) I haven’t seen it done on curly hair and I don’t have the coordination to blow out with my dyson!!
What kind of comb did you say it needed to be? Also, if we don’t have that comb attachment for the Dyson, would using the attachment from the blowout side and then the flat iron work?
Sill press is usually on a much higher heat too lol, if you talk to stylist OC whom do them in POC, gotta use a high heat. I would like to see you use a higher heat with that flat iron...
i like to do silk presses but uh i don't have a smaller nozzle to direct heat to blow dry it first. so my silk pressin isn't that great. Sad but true .
Hey BY THE WAY if you haven’t heard I’m on Pinterest and just shared an idea pin of how to preserve the curly blowout throughout the week, check it out here for the tutorial: pin.it/16v4PtF
I learned from a Dominican stylist years ago to tie the hair in a high bun, wrap the end of your hair in and secure with a pin. No touch ups needed 🙂
Blow out
“ I don’t care if you straighten your hair, as long as you do it right” I’m glad to be following you now because i love being able to have my hair straight on special occasions. So now I’m saving this video for this blow out style so pretty 🥰
I once straightened my hair in Florida during the summer. Needless to say, by the end of the day my hair was back to normal.
Omg all that work!!
You got a day out of it? I get about 15 minutes. Good luck!
Freaking Florida🤣🤣🤣 summer humidity will definitely do that to ya!
Never again living in Florida not unless I get a professional blow out then maybe??

Thanks for the tip
Omg we have the same hair type and routine even down to the products lol

I’m a hair stylist as well and I’m learning so much! I really wished this counted for my CEU hours lol
The steam makes me nervous. I know you know what you're doing, but I saw the steam & cringed anyway 😬😲
I would love a video about curling with a straightener! I have a straightener and I know how to straighten somewhat well, curious if I can bring more shape and definition to my pre-existing curls with it

Your flat iron sucks. You could see the drag...not smooth at all
Ya there’s better flat irons out there.
can you do a review on the revlon one step hair dryer brush?
💚So i seriously was confused about those terms....el oh el... Guess i shall try a True Blow Out with some self made rollers 😂💚
I gave myself your latest diy haircut! Didn't even have to "call my mom". 🤣 I love it!!! Thanks, girl!! You always come through!
Love the blow out side. Looked so healthy and bouncy!
Your videos are so useful and helpful. Just started straightening again for winter as it's much better when you have to stick a woolly hat on 🙄❄ Keep up the good work x
Your hair is looking so pretty !! The hair colour and length yessss
Thank you!! Something new 💖💖
That’s not a silk press. You just straightened your hair.
"I may start to sweat." God, me doing anything but especially when doing anything to my hair. at the end of diffusing I sometimes feel like I need another shower lolsob
Mel: "The humidity is dropping"
Me, an italian living in the UK: "Oh bless!"

I’ve always thought silk press was a black girl thing. Guess not. Lol
I also didn’t know that nonblack people wrap their hair. So interesting.
I’m Team Blow Out!! I would love to see you do a flat iron curl video!!
HAPPY TEXTURE TUESDAY❤️

That's not a silk press. you have to wrap it, that's why it's a silk press. That must be a white girl silk press 🤣
Holy smokes are there any straighteners you recommend for those of us who don’t have $600 to spend? 😬
I’ve used a Chi flat iron for close to 10 years with great results.
Babyliss titanium is the best
I usually let my hair air dry when straightening it so I don't use as much heat on my hair. Like overnight or all day but sometimes then it's not all completely dry. Then I'll use a blow dryer.
It's texture way past my bed time Tuesday. But I'm here lol
Hello 🤣🤣
I’m a blow out girl! I love the volume! And you look stunning with the blowout! 🔥❤️
Hey Mell as you can see from pic I use to blow dry and flyer?? my hair. After I discovered your vids I’ve been embracing my natural curly wavy all types of hair texture looks.. lol. Thanks Mane Mell for your amazing advice and for being lovely 🤟
Can u do a video for the best hair dryers and most affordable
I wanna straighten my hair again but don't think it's a good idea because I cut my hair wonky😂

I love a blow out! Give me all the volume! Using the rollers is genius but any time I have attempted to use velcro rollers I have ended up with a frizzy, tangled mess on top of my head. 😄
I have had all my life blow drying and silk pressing my hair. Two years ago I decided to got natural and this channel has been heaven send. Haven't gone back since but if I do decide one a year it would be a blow out and a tubi.
a tubi and a silk scarf/pillowcase works wonders
Silk press all the way but I love the 70’s waves when I straighten my hair so PLEASE make a video on how to curl with a flat iron! I have never been able to figure it out
I tried blowing out my hair and it didn’t come out like that 😂 but this video was super helpful! Now I know to use the curlers.
Hi. Mell Happy Holidays 😊 🧡💛🧡💛💃💃💃💃💃,Yeah Texture Tuesday, 🌻🌼🌻🌼
Happy holidays Daisy!! thanks for being here😊
The “silk press” side is still so frizzy
The information I need to know and the comedic outtakes bonus. You're the best! 💜
This is what I do 🤩🤩
Hi 🥰🥰
Hi!!!
Watches white lady do a "silk press" ... interesting.
Im not black or white (but correct me if i'm wrong) the term 'silk press' is only for more afro/african hair, correct? I agree, calling it "hair straightening' rather than a silk press would be more racially appropriate right?
I deadass falt iront my type 4 hair for the first ime today> Before i saw this vdieo. ahh well i only went one pass maybe 2 in partically icky spots but im praying i dont get damage
I Love the blow out Side 🥰😍❣️...you look so different without your naturally Curls 😳😅...👌... Love the wild Curls most 💪😘❣️😍🥰
You’re cross between 90s Mariah and Beyoncé 😍😍 especially when your hair is curly. Love your videos ❤️
Team blow-out! love me a good 90's supermodel style voluminous look!
Happy Texture Tuesday!! ❤️
I'm glad to see you using an oil to provide heat protection when flat ironing your hair. I prefer doing this because I feel like sprays leave my hair feeling sticky and gross.

I’ve always wondered what a blow out was…….like are we not just blow drying our hair?!? NO!! Hahaha I once was blind but now I see 😆 I’m gonna give this a go! I probably have some Velcro rollers somewhere 🤔 love your videos always! ❤️
I am a ballroom dancer but also happen to have curly hair 😝 should I still wash my hair before straightening even when I get a ballroom hairstyle where A LOT of hairspray and gel (level 8-10) is involved? Because after that day I obviously need to wash everything out too 😅
I binged watched your mexico vlog because I’m going in December and I’m going to need all the tips I can get😅❤️
Thanks for sharing. I have curly hair like yours and I always have problems will keeping my hair from frizzying.. I will need to try this oil that you used. Hope it works for me.
You are funny , enjoyed watching this- you are beautiful!!!
My Hair is wavy, so i prefer Blow out while brushing. Havent used my Flat iron since forever, maybe i should...
I like both, but also like body so I do like your silky curly side you didn't use the flat iron for. I'm scared of those curlers though. I wanted to know how to protect my flat ironed hair from heat, because I don't flat iron my hair much. It's good to know I could just use my Aveda Replenish spray leave in conditioner.
I chemically straightened my hair and now have 4 fingers of curly regrowth. GIRL I have straightened my hair every week since the chemical appliance and my roots keeps curling. Doing it the right way with no damage really is possible
Any recommendations for an alternate blow dryer that compares to this one? I just can’t spend $4/500 for this. 😩
Limited time colour ?? I seen a beautiful green..... was that limited ...? I don’t see it ... that said it’s too expensive now anyway ..
Ps silk press girl lol
But volume on roots...... aye it just works out for me
I’ll try the method you used next time
Texture Tuesday is not complete without Mell screaming "Amanda!!!!" And it's definitely not complete without both the seesters on the screen. Loved the last second of the video😍❤️
Some great tips here i can share with my stylist if I ever decide to do another blowout or silk press. My problem is that I’m super picky about how my blowouts & silk presses. I want a very specific look at the end of the service. I want to leave my appointment looking like my hair grew out of my head straight.

Long time go I was watching one of your videos and I wondered “Is she black.” Then the thought moved on. Then in another video you had on your satin bonnet and I said. “Yep she’s a sister”. 🤣🤣
Do you recommend using a FLAT iron protectant spray? Specifically for a flat irons .
Can someone fill me in on the Shea moisture Curl smoothie and their curling gel soufflé! Do I use the smoothie and then the soufflé as my gel. Or do I just do my leave in conditioner and then the soufflé!! Do they do different things I’m so confused 😩 help!
I like the blow out better. But I also like speed. So silk side wins for that reason. I use the L’ange “hot comb” that’s got teeth to grin my hair as I go down the length. Just wish I knew ew if it was killing my hair with that heat
I've been doing old school roller sets on my long fine hair. It's the same texture as yours. I love it and it feels stronger. Could you do a tutorial?
I can't do a blowout on myself. After so many tries my hair just stays frizzy and poofy all over. I end up having to flat iron anyway.
Have you tried the new revlon one step blow out dryer brush thing? (Def not the official name lmao) I haven’t seen it done on curly hair and I don’t have the coordination to blow out with my dyson!!
Chile this is how erasure starts. First the "curly girl method" now they're taking silk press from the natural community smh
That’s not a silk press. Where’s the silk? Where’s the press? It’s still frizzy and puffy
Your videos are always so fun! Love the dynamics between you and Amanda.
What kind of comb did you say it needed to be?
Also, if we don’t have that comb attachment for the Dyson, would using the attachment from the blowout side and then the flat iron work?
I have an oily scalp so straight hair def gets greasy quickly on me. Blow out option alwayssss. I need rollers
I just bought my Dyson because somedays I just want to be straight or wavy and not my usual curly wurly hair.
Hey mell. Did you add a temporary hair dye recently or did you add a new colour? Seems more on the pink side and I'm loving the colour
You look different with straight wavy hair. You look so pretty either way.
Does anyone have product tips for heatprotect in Germany?
Mel, love your content!
Sill press is usually on a much higher heat too lol, if you talk to stylist OC whom do them in POC, gotta use a high heat. I would like to see you use a higher heat with that flat iron...
This helped me finally know why I can never get a non puffy and heavy silk press! 😔 my hair is super fine but dense.
i like to do silk presses but uh i don't have a smaller nozzle to direct heat to blow dry it first. so my silk pressin isn't that great.
Sad but true .
