One thing to have long hair: -Patience Juste nourrish, moisturize your hair, do masks, and you will see your hair grow I did for many years, ridiculous recipes for growing my hair, and since and I stopped focusing on the growth and just take care of my hair, I see the difference and my hair is much longer
dude my hair grows super fast after I cut it, like shoulder to boobs in half a year... but then it suddenly stops. I think I just don't trim it enough. Cause it's been more than a year since I went to get a haircut. I need layers oof.
I would love a visual demonstration of the different types of flakes and how to treat them. I mean people describe build up vs dandruff vs dead skin cells, but it’s not the same as seeing it with an explanation (at least for me) Thanks for the video Mell!
I really really appreciate you acknowledging east and south asian hair care. A lot of white influencers say that because there aren't Western studies about something working, it doesn't work, when there are oftentimes communities of women who use certain methods and do get results that go forgotten because they're from places that aren't as recognized. much love
Could you talk about the differences between fine curly hair and coarse curly hair? I’ve read a post which says that fine and coarse hair prefer different types of protein and I’ve seen styling products marketed toward fine hair and once for medium to coarse hair.
@georgezakhia I think Caroline is meaning the molecular structure of proteins. Some proteins are bigger than others in size so if your hair strand is less open you may not really benefit from that specific protein type.
Bruna Mota - yes! And some parts of my scalp (especially the front) experience far more pain than the rest of my hair. I barely leave my hair up, most times I wear it without any accessories at all
Hi, It's not Mell but I started having this issue about two years ago, sometimes I couldn't touch my scalp. It felt like I had a head full of needles. It got better when I started using natural products. The scalp feels so good when I apply oils and I often do masks with ayurvedic herbs and i dye my hair with henna. I still have tenderness sometimes but it's definitely not that pain.. I'm not saying to use only natural products, maybe they' re not good for everyone but I felt the difference.. Hope this helps you. Sorry if I made mistakes, I'm from Italy 😂😊
Mell, I gotta say: your videos have changed my curly hair life! I've had a long journey of learning how to style my hair and I'm still constantly learning. Your videos have helped me so much! I've been cutting my hair short for years now because of frustration with lack of volume and high amount of maintenance. Because of your content I've felt inspired and empowered to grow my hair out again. I started with your air drying video and that was a huge success. I just finished diffusing my hair and for the first time I'm actually in love with the result. I'm such a fan, please continue to make great videos!! (Especially with your seester!)
Could you please make an updated version? I really appreciate your videos! I saved literally all of your hair tip videos in a hair playlist.. I've been struggling to find the right products and learn how to style my hair correctly. It's so exhausting to me I just don't want to keep trying something new, so i cut off 14in of my hair and donated it. I HATE having shot hair and I don't like how it looks on me but I also can't stand dealing with my hair when it was long (hip length). Im finally starting to want to try to figure it out and I have no idea where to start, but your videos have been a big help. Im getting my hair motivation back and all your tips and advice, I couldn't be more grateful🤎
Idc if rice water isn’t scientifically proven to help hair grow faster but I have personally seen AMAZING results with it over the past 8 months I’ve been using it!! I started it cus I had a horrible amount of hair loss due to hormonal issues (like handfuls of hair falling out anytime I managed my hair at all) - the first change I noticed was that my hair stopped falling out DRASTICALLY. Like after a couple weeks the hair loss had decreased severely and now my hair loss is very minimal. Secondly, the feel and texture of my hair truly did feel improved. Silky, plush hair after each rinse and in general. And thirdly, I personally feel like it HAS helped with hair growth - both new growth and hair length. One of the main things I noticed probably a month into the rinses is that I had a TON of baby hairs all over my perimeter! My hair line in the front and back was filling in VERY quickly, I haven’t had these many baby hairs since puberty. The baby hairs are also super long like they’re growing very fast. And as for hair length, I trimmed like 5 inches off my hair in December and 2 months later my hair was ALMOST grown back all the way. I probably had about 3 inches of growth in 2 months. I cut 6 inches off again cus I’m just really trying to get rid of all the hair that’s been chemically dyed, and it’s only been 2 weeks but I truly can see a lot of growth even just week to week. It’s not super noticeable right now but I can tell my hair is growing VERY fast, and it has been ever since I started the rice water rinses. Idk about the science behind any of this and I know this is all anecdotal so I’m not saying everyone will experience the same results I have, but I can absolutely swear by my own experience and say rice water rinses have completely changed the way my hair grows! I’m compiling photo evidence since my last hair cut so I can see how long it takes to grow my hair back out after my last major chop (6 inches) lol maybe that’ll help convince skeptics 😂
Hey Enas!!! No worries! We all know the struggle. I hope my tips help you tho! Products or not there is still a lot to learn and changes u can make without them!
Enas Abu Ewaida me too!! I just started treating my curls right and I’m so overwhelmed by the amount of products I see girls on TH-cam using. I’d love to play along but I’m too poor for devacurl lol and I feel like I’m committing a sin for wanting to use up my siliconey shampoo and conditioner lol I don’t want to waste them..
Girl I got some questions! 🤔 1)how do you manage second day, third Day etc hair? Like what is your routine in the mornings for it? 2)how do you personally sleep with your hair?
This is why I enjoy her videos so much! She has such an engaging personality and you learn a lot about your curls at the same time.. she has just saved me wasting my time/money on “hair growth” pills and serums!
I love that you recommendations on products to check out, but could you do a "myth bust" style video covering DIY home made remedies that are out there to review how well they work for all of the broke college and highschool students in the world? :D examples: Apple cider vinegar and water as a clarifying rinse to help with product build up homemade gel from flax seeds various homemade hairmasks using basic kitchen oils (olive, coconut etc) to massage the scalp rice water etc. I"m sure other people could chime in with other common DIY hair things that commonly go around that I can't think of off the top of my head.
I see 2 years later she didn't bother answering. I would also like to know about the homemade products you mentioned as I was thinking of buying ingredients to make them. First I'm going to try mane n tail horse shampoo regardless of what she says.
Please please pleeeease make a video about different style haircuts for naturally curly hair. I would love to see an episode covering curly bangs as well!
I love this video!! So informative and it didn't get the credit it deserved !! Thank you for busting the most controversial myths among us girls regarding to hair growth !!
I will say that since ive been overall living a healthier life this past year, ive noticed less fallout/breakage, from cheap products and anxiety, and my hair seems fuller &stronger
My mane girl Mell, help debunk this myth. A lot of people say oils such as argan oil, moroccan oil, etc. are absolutely essential to keep the moisture in your hair and ensure the ends don’t get dry. HOWEVER, other people say it coats your hair and weighs it down. So which is the more beneficial one in the long run? My hair is low porosity so I’m unsure what to do! Thank you girl ❤️
I’m pretty sure within the last 2 days I’ve watched most of your videos, some multiple times 😩 I did my first wash today and you have been so helpful!!! Thank you !!
Mell! Thank you for debunking these myths! Another myth/ questions I have is will using/massaging oils into your scalp make your hair grow faster? And if yes, what is the best oils(s) to use? TIA for clarifying (no pun intended ;-)
Loving your videos! My hair recently went though some trama... causing a lot of loss and thinning. About a month ago I decided to embrace my curls and go natural. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I don’t know how I would have gotten through the past month without your motivation and inspiration! Also loving Curl Smith scalp line!
I love rice water rinses and beer rinses but dont have time for all these rinses. Sooooo i put the rice in a Bud light, stir out the fizzys, let it sit overnight, pour it in a spray bottle, then apply that. Sometimes i add green tea or other herbal teas too. And eo's for smell/benefits. Leave it in about half an hour, then add dc. Leave that in as recommended, then rinse. Seems to really add bounce amd shine. I love the ingredients in curlsmith, alot, but holy cow thats expensive.
Mell, I just wanna say that I appreciate you and your videos so much! I’ve learned sooooo much from you and I’ve started transitioning and I bought all of the Aveda products that you use 😭 I trust you and I loveee your goofy, informative videos; keep doing what you’re doing, Mell, you deserve so much more subscribers ❤️❤️❤️ You’re the curly hair guru I always turn to and love the absolute most!
As a caution just be careful with Hyaluronic acid. With the heat and dry air this time of air if there is no where for the HA to draw water from it will instead draw it out of the hair/skin. This is also true if you live in a dry climate it is recommended for humid conditions. Make sure to lock in the HA with a hydrator.
Rice water helped my hair grow a little faster after a terrible haircut. Not to mention, it helped my curl pattern. I love my rice water, but it's not for everyone.
Thank you for this video. Dealing with postpartum hair loss right now. It's the worst. I had almost waist length hair but cut it collar bone length while pregnant because I was too hot and knew it was going to fall out after I give birth.
Duuuuuuude I love your channel just got to discover it, I’m just an other curly ass seeking for tips yours are super instructive and you go to the bottom of it PLUS you truly funny 😂🙌🏽 keep up the good work
Lol, I just styled my hair and pictured you in my mind doing that movement to allow air flow to the curls ( vs. Doing the “Statue” ) as I was doing it also 😜🤣girl, I am hooked !
Scalp massage brushes gave me breakage a few years ago. I learned that on highlighted hair, the hair is already delicate. I get color from a professional and the breakage was happening a lot. Even in my relaxed hair journey prior, I never had that type of breakage, Even with olaplex, it’s happened to me!
I know curlsmith may be the best option but the way my wallet looking it wont be in the budget for a long while. So my question is what is the best way to care for the scalp since I am financially challenged?
I always do pre poos then shampoo twice, Before I start styling my hair, I part my hair and spray a mixture of Aloe Vera juice a few drops of sweet almond seed oil and a dropper full of lavender to my scalp. I gently massage it in and then start with my leave in. My hair LOVES IT.
I'm 15 and have thick, coarse 2B/3B layered curls that go down to my butt and I used to just shampoo, condition, and throw some gel on it as well as air dry and just hope for the best... but today I did shampoo, conditioner (and detangle), moose (raking through) and then gel (scrunching like crazy lol) and then blow drying (on cool) and then scrunch out the cast. And oh man, my curls are looking better than ever! So much more volume and definition but without the frizz. (But I will say blow drying takes a good 15-20 minutes at least lol) I'm so glad I found your channel!! Thanks!!💛💛
Mell, my mane girl! Can you show us the products you use regularly and how often you use them? It looks like it’s a lot of products you use! I know some of them are just for videos, but I’m curious about your go tos. Thanks for the excellent content
Hey Mell, I have been watching your videos for a few months now and love all the advice you have to offer us curly girls!! One question I have for the next video is you opinion on Kristen Ess’s hair line?
It always just would blow my mind when I would see people using Mane and Tail. I have horses and that shampoo is designed to wash horse poop and dirt from the horses mane and tails. The conditioner is heavy and waxy and is designed that way to 'weight' the mane and tail so they hang nice and flat for showing.
Just do what works for your hair. That simple. I use a tea tree mint oil everyday and keep my hair moisturized and tangle-free (as much as possible) and that works for me. (my hair is down to my butt)
What are your suggestions for fine super curly hair that’s like 3c/4a in the back 3a/b in the front that’s weighed down easily but is also dry and breaks easily? I wash and deep condition weekly. The Aveda curl cream has become my holy grail since I started watching your channel. I also do mainly wash and go hairstyles. Lol You’re the best! ♥️
I’m having major issues with the back of my Hair looking like crap but the front looking good ! Idk what I’m doing wrong ! It looks so dry and the curls are not curly
Dear Mel the best hairspray is tried and true old school... Elnet or newer school Joico Protective Hairspray and Pureology Color Stylist Strengthening Control :) Love from NYC
Hi Mell I've been totally binge watching all of your videos! They are so informative. If you decide to do a second video on myths, I was wondering if that condition before shampoo was a good thing. I have thin hair so silicones really make my hair dirty once I put them in. BUT I love Aveda!
One thing to have long hair:
-Patience
Juste nourrish, moisturize your hair, do masks, and you will see your hair grow
I did for many years, ridiculous recipes for growing my hair, and since and I stopped focusing on the growth and just take care of my hair, I see the difference and my hair is much longer
I found that almond oil before and after washing works well in my hair. That and keeping it up in loose ponytails and loose buns.
same i had my hair to my shoulders and in just three years they were already by my boobs just by simply taking care of my hair the right way
dude my hair grows super fast after I cut it, like shoulder to boobs in half a year... but then it suddenly stops. I think I just don't trim it enough. Cause it's been more than a year since I went to get a haircut. I need layers oof.
Also making sure to eat protein and I don't mean red meat everyday, made my hair grow out so fast
I would love a visual demonstration of the different types of flakes and how to treat them. I mean people describe build up vs dandruff vs dead skin cells, but it’s not the same as seeing it with an explanation (at least for me)
Thanks for the video Mell!
Check out Mell’s curly hair tutorial playlist - she already has a vid on dry scalp vs. dandruff
Yeah I don't rlly understand what buildup is
Mell should do a colab with rawbeautykristi and her microscope!!
th-cam.com/video/kLfW95KVlW8/w-d-xo.html you should watch this vid :)
yes!!
omg... I just got it... MANE GIRL MELL... NOT MAIN GIRL MELL... I CANT genius
Angry Puff LOL SAMEEE! I'm always the last person in class to understand something😂
Well...me too now!!! 😂😫😂🤦🏼♀️
OMG thank you! I would never knew that i u didn’t state it😂😂😂😂
@The Dark Overlord the joke is the pun. it IS both.
Lol thanks to u I just got it aswell

Could you talk about the differences between fine curly hair and coarse curly hair? I’ve read a post which says that fine and coarse hair prefer different types of protein and I’ve seen styling products marketed toward fine hair and once for medium to coarse hair.
From what I have heard, coarse hair needs thicker products whereas finer hair prefers lighter products.
@georgezakhia I think Caroline is meaning the molecular structure of proteins. Some proteins are bigger than others in size so if your hair strand is less open you may not really benefit from that specific protein type.
So which proteins are good for finer hair?
Here’s a quote: “how to tailor protein use: ©Science-y Hair Blog 2015
Choose smaller proteins (any amino acids, any peptides or hydrolyzed: silk, keratin, collagen) if you're new to protein or have coarse hair. Larger proteins (oat, wheat, soy, vegetable, quinoa) tend to work well for fine and medium hair and even coarse hair occasionally.”
And I bought some Aveda flaxseed aloe gel and THEN noticed that it says it’s for medium to coarse hair (whoops). So I was wondering if there were more differences in between coarse and fine curls.
@@trev1463 omgosh I love you. I stan an intelligent reply. #woops 🤣
Mell can you talk about scalp tenderness? I can't even put my hair in a loose ponytail for the day without my scalp feeling tight and sore by night.
Bruna Mota - yes! And some parts of my scalp (especially the front) experience far more pain than the rest of my hair. I barely leave my hair up, most times I wear it without any accessories at all
Yesss! Its so frustrating.
This is a great suggestion! Thanks Bruna 😊
Me too ouch

What method did you use because I have the same problem :/
As a uni student I am too dang broke to focus on hair products but I would still click so fast to watch your videos LOL
Hey Enas!!! No worries! We all know the struggle. I hope my tips help you tho! Products or not there is still a lot to learn and changes u can make without them!
Same I want those curlsmith products so bad but like $30 each? That’s my grocery money
Same here. If i want a decent curly hair product, i should order from amazon, ebay or strawberry. Net, but nothing affordable here in Hungary. :(
Enas Abu Ewaida me too!! I just started treating my curls right and I’m so overwhelmed by the amount of products I see girls on TH-cam using. I’d love to play along but I’m too poor for devacurl lol and I feel like I’m committing a sin for wanting to use up my siliconey shampoo and conditioner lol I don’t want to waste them..

I love that you recommendations on products to check out, but could you do a "myth bust" style video covering DIY home made remedies that are out there to review how well they work for all of the broke college and highschool students in the world? :D
examples: Apple cider vinegar and water as a clarifying rinse to help with product build up
homemade gel from flax seeds
various homemade hairmasks
using basic kitchen oils (olive, coconut etc) to massage the scalp
rice water
etc.

Love CurlSmith products! Didn’t even know about these though. Can’t wait to try. Thanks for having scientiffy Mell visit today. Love her! 💯❤️

I can't with how good Mells darker hair looks 😍
I’m pretty sure within the last 2 days I’ve watched most of your videos, some multiple times 😩 I did my first wash today and you have been so helpful!!! Thank you !!
Mell! Thank you for debunking these myths! Another myth/ questions I have is will using/massaging oils into your scalp make your hair grow faster? And if yes, what is the best oils(s) to use?
TIA for clarifying (no pun intended ;-)
They will help speed up hair growth bc you're stimulating blood flow at the scalp. Jojoba and castor oil are popular oils.
What about castor oil for the scalp to encourage hair growth Mell?
It's a myth.It can help thicken your hair, but not growing it faster
your hair is so beautiful 😍 and girl your vids are so helpful
Can you possibly do a video or explain how to utilize the rice water challenge on low porosity hair that’s beneficial without protein overload?
Loving your videos! My hair recently went though some trama... causing a lot of loss and thinning. About a month ago I decided to embrace my curls and go natural. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I don’t know how I would have gotten through the past month without your motivation and inspiration! Also loving Curl Smith scalp line!
I love rice water rinses and beer rinses but dont have time for all these rinses. Sooooo i put the rice in a Bud light, stir out the fizzys, let it sit overnight, pour it in a spray bottle, then apply that. Sometimes i add green tea or other herbal teas too. And eo's for smell/benefits. Leave it in about half an hour, then add dc. Leave that in as recommended, then rinse. Seems to really add bounce amd shine. I love the ingredients in curlsmith, alot, but holy cow thats expensive.

Love your videos and I love texture Tuesday’s!
Love love love your videos. So happy I stumbled upon your Chanel, they are all so incredibly helpful. ❤
I’ve been using a rice water rinse weekly for 5 weeks now and my hair has grown at least 2-3 inches. I was a nonbeliever until I tried it.
How often do you use it ?
I always do pre poos then shampoo twice, Before I start styling my hair, I part my hair and spray a mixture of Aloe Vera juice a few drops of sweet almond seed oil and a dropper full of lavender to my scalp. I gently massage it in and then start with my leave in. My hair LOVES IT.
I always get a bit skeptical when it comes to traditional diy routines cause a lot of south East Asian people have really good hair genes 😭
One of my fav YT channels! 😊 ❤️
Loving your channel!
And I think you should change the name to “Mane Girl Mel” because that’s how you always greet us!
I love your channel so badly Mel 🤩🙌❤

Hey Mell, I have been watching your videos for a few months now and love all the advice you have to offer us curly girls!! One question I have for the next video is you opinion on Kristen Ess’s hair line?
This is the content I was looking for. You rock Mell!
I love your videos/topics bc they are the type I like to do but for women entrepreneurs! The what's "really what" kinda topics❤️
It always just would blow my mind when I would see people using Mane and Tail. I have horses and that shampoo is designed to wash horse poop and dirt from the horses mane and tails. The conditioner is heavy and waxy and is designed that way to 'weight' the mane and tail so they hang nice and flat for showing.
Just do what works for your hair. That simple. I use a tea tree mint oil everyday and keep my hair moisturized and tangle-free (as much as possible) and that works for me. (my hair is down to my butt)
What’s good everybody 😂♥️👋🏻
#TGIT
Also I like your new background 😁
Tank you 😍
What I got from this video: nothing will make my hair grow faster
What are your suggestions for fine super curly hair that’s like 3c/4a in the back 3a/b in the front that’s weighed down easily but is also dry and breaks easily? I wash and deep condition weekly. The Aveda curl cream has become my holy grail since I started watching your channel. I also do mainly wash and go hairstyles. Lol
You’re the best! ♥️
I’m having major issues with the back of my Hair looking like crap but the front looking good ! Idk what I’m doing wrong ! It looks so dry and the curls are not curly
Same girl😢
Dear Mel the best hairspray is tried and true old school... Elnet or newer school Joico Protective Hairspray and Pureology Color Stylist Strengthening Control :) Love from NYC
8:10 had me laughing.. what you're doing with your lips!! lol
I just want to say that the increase of temperature may make the reading of ph lower, but it certainly does not make the water more acidic
Always educational and entertaining ❤️
Thanks for busting those myths! 💖💖💖
What about ACV rinses for the scalp??? We need to know the truth 😭😭😭😭
TGIT You make every Tuesday enjoyable :D
THANK-YOU... rice water is good for your skin though... It works for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Mell I've been totally binge watching all of your videos! They are so informative. If you decide to do a second video on myths, I was wondering if that condition before shampoo was a good thing. I have thin hair so silicones really make my hair dirty once I put them in. BUT I love Aveda!
Thanks for the tips. I love your videos and how real you are about products.
Not only are you informative, you are a hoot!! 😂❤️
you're so funny. I always laugh when I watch your videos

Could you talk about hair Botox?
