My hair is wavy frizzy and some days it’s straight but if I let it air dry I look like a lion
Omfg sameeee 😂 i hated it sm i got a pixie cut
Rj G I’m not brave enough to do that
Sir Shrek hm it looked better than this rn
SO FUCKIN RELATE AND IM GETTING TEASED BECAUSE OF THAT.
Same!😝
When I brush my hair, I look like hagrid😅🤐😭
I feel you, sis I feel you
Girl, same 😭😂
Same :(
I say this all the time-
I felt this comment in my very being.
I'm half mexican and I have the exact sort of of half wavy half curly hair you do. I'm totally going to try this the next time I leave my hair curly. You're right its like a 50/50 hit or miss to whether it's going to look good or not and it's so frustrating.
Same! I'm half too! I also recommend the Bel-Air smoothing shampoo & condition from R+N CO. I can't live without my High Dive cream either.www.randco.com
im half mexican as well & my hair is just a total mess sometimes
keely _cn what’s the other half ? Lol
sameeee
OMG YESSSS I HAVE SEMI STRAIGHT WAVY BUT FRIZZY HAIR!!! And sometime air drying and sometimes it looks good and sometimes it doesn't have to try this
Please make video, actually using the products, styling your hair to achieve your curly-ish look. From the time you get out of the shower and what you put in, while hair is wet, and then what steps exactly to follow. Thank you, look forward to seeing that video😍
I just let someone else know that I wanted to do that but because most of the steps took place in the shower it made it hard to film so I decided to do it like this - but future tutorials and all my past ones always show step by step!
this probably sounds weird but your jaw looks like halseys jaw
I noticed also !
caro mercado Trigger warning ⚠️ : Halsey
She reminds me of Hilary Duff
Oh you're right, and halsey has a very "specific" jaw
Thank youuuu! I’m 36 and just started learning to embrace my waves, and this video gives me a great starting point! Thank you so much!
You've described exactly what I go through with my hair. Diffuser attachment has never worked for me- and yes, once you brush the wet hair out of the shower it ever looks defined or curly as it did prior to brushing. Thank you!
love this!!! my hair is coarse, wavy and frizzy and this is by far the simplest, quickest method that I found to be helpful
thank you sooo much for posting this! I picked up some R&B and it's life changing!
I always wanted to try the Rnb moisturizer from lush so I'm glad you talked about it. Love my natural wavy hair. I have the exact same tangle teezer it's brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
Tamara C i have so much hair, its so thick and curly, im so afraid to brush my hair, period!!!
Tamara C I'm using lush conditioners retread and it's amazing..I had a very frizzy hair
Melissa you are amazing and I'm so happy that I came across your channel awhile ago! Your videos are extremely helpful and your personality is amazing! Thank you for putting in so much work to make these videos!
Your videos are some of my absolute favorites when it comes to hair! It's so hard to find good/useful videos for people with thick hair, so thank you!
This is a big help I have very thick coarse hair as well! Thank you for sharing what you do!
I feel like we are hair twins. My hair is frizzy and coarse but I have to force a curl into it or it otherwise dries into an awkward wavy mess. Thank you so much for your tips, I am still struggling with finding a hair routine that works for me, but you explain things simply for beginners like me.
Thank you so much for sharing the raw shea butter tip, I have used it throughout this week, and I absolutely love the results! Finally, after all these years, I can keep my natural beautiful wavy hair look wavy every day! Thank you soo very much!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this tutorial!!!! This will DEFINITELY be tried! Going to LUSH today to get some R & B!! Already have Shea butter & smoothing shampoo & conditioner & a turbie twist! Thank you @MelissaAlatorre for sharing your tips/tricks with us💜💜💜
Your hair and BACKGROUND R SLAYING. This video was also v helpful!!! Loved
thanks boo! still going to try the loreal hair product you recommended!
Melissa Alatorre I can't wait to try the loreal product from her insta! looks so good plus all the ones our recommend in the vid, thanks girls! -from a girl who straightened her hair for 5 year's and now has very damaged frizzy wavy hair :(
cherry c. Which L'Oréal product, I must have missed that, thanks!
Mariah Leonard totally understand the Not combing/brushing hair for a few days. I do the same thing. Btw love your makeup you have amazing skin!
Next pay day I'll be investing in R&B, I'm excited to try it! I have thick frizzy hair with some wave to it that I usually straighten, but some days I go natural. I can usually get it to look okay the first day, but after that I have to just throw it up. Thanks for the tips!
I’ve spent years frustrated with my hair trying to figure out what my hair type is, how to style it, what product to use, and having done so many trail and errors. I tried this, and just by using a antifrizz conditioner, Aussie, and the r and b creme in the wrap, my hair looks SO GOOD!!! I was about to cry lol. Thank you so much for making this video!! Finally someone with my hair type who posted a how to video!!! My hair, loves, and appreciates you lol ❤️😘☺️🔥🔥🔥😝
I’m so excited to try these tips. My hair is currently long and I’m going to cut it short as soon as possible and I would love for it to look like yours. I have a similar hair texture and it’s such a headache to style sometimes. Thank you for making this video!!
I always, ALWAYS let my hair air dry, even in the winter. and I rarely style my hair with any hot tool. it's just better that way in my opinion 😊😊
Me everyday for the past 2 years and I can STILL get it to the style I want!
Eliana Landa how?!?!
Jenny Platypus I don't know lmao, I just let my hair air dry and my hair just gets wavy/curly naturally and the next day, my hair looks more tamed. And I prefer it that way, it looks more natural, and grungy 😁 and I love using more natural shampoo and conditioner, like the shea moisture line (I think that's what it's called) if I blow dry my hair, it looks worse lmao
Eliana Landa I'm the same way. blow drying just makes the course ness into frizz. To further tame my waist length hair when it is still slightly damp I'll put in in a low loose bun for about half an hour and it turns into nice loose waves, for more curls I'll do Princess Leia buns but very tight and get gorgeous curls. No products needed.
natural is better
So helpful! I love air-drying in the summer 🙏🏻☀️
This isn't my type hair and I still love watching these videos!!! It's awesome that you guys make videos to help people know other ways to help have healthy hair. I hope you keep doing great.
I am so happy for this video from you! My hair is exactly like yours (based off your description and how it looks) and always struggle to make it air dry in a nice fashion. So thank you so much!!
also, as always, you are flawless.
I wish I had this volume #FineHairProblems this backround is amazing and you are glowing!
If Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame were human, that‘d be her ⬆️ (it‘s a good thing!)
Was gonna say the same thing!
True!!!
I was thinking he same thing!!!
Holy grail !!! My hair went back to its wavy form and just by using the R&B and the Shea butter ! Can’t thank you enough Melissa! It’s been a year of struggle !
What shea butter did you use? I never saw it tagged in her video. Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for posting the details on how you style your course, curly, frizzy hair. I'm always tossing my hair up in a bun, because it's so unmanageable! I'm definitely going to give your recommendations a try.
This is going to sound crazy (I have wavy/Spanish curly hair) the microfiber towel was my GO TO before I my sister told me to use a Shamwow instead..
It's a little stiff at first but once it starts to soak up the water/dry your hair it produces miracles and dries your hair that much faster! Try it!
For any curly girls looking for less expensive options: Palmer's had a coconut oil line of hair care products that are amazing!
Melissa, love your natural, glowy look!
I have the same natural hair as you and 100% relate to everything you said in this video! My biggest struggle is to keep the curls looking nice for 3 days in a row so I'll definetly try the products you've mentioned. Thank you for the tips ☺
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I also have extremely thick, coarse, frizzy, wavy hair; this was so helpful! 🙌🏽
wow, your hair is exactly like mine! I've never seen anyone with it, especially where they talk about how to manage it. thanks!
Finally found someone who can relate to my hair situation, subscribing lol
Omg!!! I can't thank you enough for this informative video. I really needed this tutorial. I have curlier hair so I will def be using all those products. Love you! 😘
Gorgeous as always Melissa! You are the reason why I want to try a lob
Hey, you should make a makeup tutorial for this look! It's simple and perfect for an everyday makeup look!! I love the "more natural" looks!
Yes! Your eye makeup and lips are such pretty colors!
I love your hair like this I use coconut oil for my crazy curly hair that's my go to product.
Ditto! Coconut oil hair masks have revolutionized my curly hair game!!
IlpYaritza Suarez
Hy! Do you use it as a leave in?
you are my actual hair/makeup inspo omg. this is exactly how I want my hair to look (and at the moment it's a similar length, similar colour, etc) so I'm taking down these tips!!
Turbie twists are life changing, its like the day I tried the beauty blender. You just can't go back. Love you Melissa! This video was so helpful as always, I will def. be trying the turbie twist lieing flat.
hahaha same! I can never ever use a regular towel ever again!
i cant wait to watch this!!!!!!
Thank you!!! four products..... YES!!! ordering that butter and heading to Lush, STAT!!!!
Love you Melissa! 😘❤️❤️❤️
Yes!!! 🙌🏼 thank you so much for this video!! I do similar steps to keep my curly hair tamed! I will definitely have to try out the products you recommend!!
Oh I can’t wait to try these products. I have the same hair texture and thickness but struggle with styling it natural. Definitely feeling the pouf.
Every hair video you put up I'm like YASSSS!! I have never EVER found another person that has the same hair as me so it's nice to find someone that does. Thank you so much for your tips and if only I was closer to your hair stylist now rather than about 2500 miles away LOL p.s. Not a soul can believe how long my hair takes to air dry, 8 pm still wet!
"Hey babe, do we have tortillas?"
*silence*
"Babe?"
"I wanna make quesadillas."
HAHAHA AW
time stamp?
7:13-7:20
Your hair is gorgeous!! I just can't stop watching your videos!!
this video was a life savor, ive yet to find a video with someone w the same hair texture and im loving all these tips
Yaasss!! Thanks for all the tips! My hair is like yours too, wavy, thick and can be a poofy mess! IOne thing that I apply that has helped me is organic unrefined coconut oil. I just apply it at the tips tho... And very little otherwise it can look oily. BUT I will definitely look into Shea butter and the products you mentioned.
BTW, stop hiding the tortillas from Kyle girlfriend! 😂
I haven't tried coco oil but will definitely give it a try!
Snadar also... were actually out of tortillas, sad times 😭
Lmao Kyle asking for tortillas was so funny 😂😂😂
I love your hair's natural texture and your natural makeup look with it! I have similar wavy curly mix so this video was so awesome- definitely hate crunchy gel hair products and diffuser has never given me defined curls. Also thank you for rocking your natural locks and removing some of the stigma around curls not being beautiful, I spent so many years fighting mine with straightening irons and I wish I had more beautiful curly haired role models so I am sure this means a lot to your younger fans as well! 💗🙏🏽
Great video! I have the same hair type and love when I find videos that give me ideas of the new products and new ways to do my hair natural.
how do you wear your hair at night to keep it from getting all crazy?? my hair is exactly like yours, I just haven't gotten good at managing it
Can you recommend any cheaper options for the smoothing shampoo and conditioner? Ones that you've used in the past and loved? Love your natural hair 😍
Carol's Daughter is my go to "drugstore" brand!
Melissa Alatorre which one do you use? From Carols Daughter?? The Black Vanilla? I have same hair type like yours and I've tried everything! Going to try out your routine 😉
Love you Melissa! So freaky glad you came on Quay's I started stories at Coachella and from then I've watched so many of your videos! Lots of love 🇬🇧💜
Sarah Anne Nicholls I thought coachella was a music festival!
These are super useful tips. I have your hair length and hair texture type. I always used to wear my hair natural when my hair was long but now that it's short I couldn't but I'll definitely try these tips!
Love how boyfriends can never find anything by themselves lol! Thanks for the great tips! :)
My hair is wavy with random curls, frizzy and fine. Some days it looks great other days it looks like I tried to curl my hair and completely failed.
I took a shower the other day and I got a perm a couple months ago, and the natural wave helps the curls stay in after I take a shower. My hair also air drys so much better than a diffuser. It just makes it more crunchy after blow drying!
Thank you SOOOO much for these tips!! My hair is just like yours, just probably not quite as thick! I'm so excited to try some of these things out!
Love your hair like this Melissa😍
It looks SOOO good! xx
And I totally know what you mean about wearing it natural and not being able to revert if it doesn't work out. This video was SO helpful and I also love Acure shampoo for really moisturized hair that doesn't get frizzy :)
Yaaaay I've been waiting for this! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 we literally have the same hair texture! So helpful!! 💁🏻💆🏻
Love Lush and you hair is amazing! I love the natural wave and when you added R&B to it, it looked so light and soft. I like to air dry my hair in the summertime. Thanks for sharing!
What do you do to your hair while you sleep? I have the same hair type just twice as long & always seem to have to wash it the next day because it ends up a mess when I wake up!
Madison Castillo silk pillow cases would really help. Same hair type here, CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT THEM ANYMORE!!!!
Madison Castillo Silk head wraps help. If you put your hair up the way she describes when she was drying with the towel.
I had the same problems a vew years ago (really messy/sometimes greasy hair in the morning after I wake up).
Put your hair in a really loose (the tyniest bit of pressure please- so as to "hold" the hair in place) ponytail up your temple (I call it "the pineapple") - take a hairband that is kinda "loose" (a thin one works for me the best). If you wake up just remove the hairband and let your hair fall loose and pick it (with a pick or wide tooth comb) and lay the strands of your hair to your liking. It took me a couple of nights to get it but it works really well - I can go up to 2 nights/ 3 days (my personal max.) with this method before I wash my hair again.
I hope this helps you a bit.
Melissa! How do you get volume at the top of your hair, mainly the crown area when you let your hair air dry? I have the same hair type and if I let my hair airdry it's flat from the top
Ayeshah Ali It could be your haircut, maybe your hair is too heavy so you may need your stylist to take some weight off your hair, not necessarily length.
Ayeshah Ali I have the same problem and I recently saw a stylist, and asked her to help me with the 'flat top' problem. She gave me a lot of layers and that helped for a month, but now I have gone back to flat hair.
same problem here :) i thought iam the only one :)
my hair is so thick that sometimes even after its airdryed, i'll sleep with braids and when i wake up the next day, theres curls at the roots so maybe you could do that
for me, it's as simple as parting your hair in a different way! if you usually part your hair on the right side for example, part it on the left when it's wet and then when it's dry, just move your hair back over with your hand and it'll give you that messy voluminous look she has. you can also use a volumizing spray to set it in place. i like it because it's quick and easy and it's less drastic than cutting your hair bc i know a lot of people are really attached to their length.
Finallyyyy 🙌🏽 someone who shares my struggles. People thought I was lying when I said my hair takes forever to dry on it's own! ❤️ love the video so helpful!!
Omg I'm early and so excited to finally see your hair care routine! Thank you Melissa! 😊
Also this is exactly what I've been waiting for, I have long curly hair but it's so frizzy no matter what I do so I HAVE to give this a try
My hair is the same texture as yours. I never blow dry it. It's down to my waist, so I honestly go straight up hippie...I just layer products and let it dry in a loose braid or twist it up and pin it.
Thanks for the helpful tips, babe!! I'll definitely be trying them!
I couldn’t do the “no brushing my hair” thing I would spaz out lol
Allright nobody is talking over HOW FREAKING GORGEOUS YOU ARE OMG😍
Yep will definitely will try, have the same problems thanks for the tips 😍
Oh and I can TOTALLY relate to having to get back in the shower and "wash" again lol have done that too many times
how do you sleep with your hair to make it last so long?
Angelina.m I have the same hair type and I use a silk pillowcase! Total life saver
look up pineapple-ing your hair! and there are also videos on protective sleeping hairstyles, try holistic habits on youtube
I have wavy short hair and use the tangle teaser also. Air dry naturally and rarely brush it out. It really does make a difference.
Omg I can totally relate!! This was super helpful and thank you so much for this video.
“I want to make a quesadilla” 😂😂
i always have trouble with sleeping because my hair gets messy and i have to brush it, which makes it super frizzy! :( pls help
Me too. More misses than hits.
Put a scrunchie overnight
You have to use a silk or satin pillowcase , or a silk or satin bonnet
Your hair looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing your tips! X
this video was so so helpful because that's my exact hair style!!!! my hair does everything and it was great! thank you
I have the same hair type. I struggle so much with frizz.. this was very helpfull 💋👍🏼. Thank you. And what is that on your lips?!!
By the way I have the normal tangle teezer in black. Does the one like yours really make a difference for curly hair? And another question, im sorry, how do you get volume at the roots when letting it air dry? Thank you. You are beautiful😚
would r&b work for fine hair?? or is it too heavy??
PS: loved your hair!!
I would only use a small amount on the ends versus a lot like I do!
Thanx! I'll try it! ✌🏼
Melissa Alatorre i like it, in my last video or one of my videos I had it curly and I love it!!
I will have to try these products. My hair texture is very similar to yours. Thanks for sharing!
Yours is the best video I've seen yet for curly hair. I have taken on board a few of your tips,, bought some R'n'B cream and some raw shea butter and am beginning to see a great improvement already. Thank you very much.
Her:“Hit or miss”
Me: I guess they never missed huh
💀💀💀💀
Liberty MarCruz u got a boyfriend I bet he doesn’t kiss ya
Muaah
He gon find another girl and he won’t miss yaaa
Omg i hope this works for me! I have been battling my hair for 25+ years and never know how to fix this F*ing mess of puff lol I own 100 hair products and keep buying more to combat it 😧 great video! Rushing to Lush now haha
did you buy the product? How did it work for you?
lizeto91 Turns out I already had it in my bathroom. I did it the way Melissa recommend but its too heavy for my hair. I'm using Schwarzkopf end repair and putting it straight on my hair before I put my hair in a t-shirt. It makes my hair super soft but doesn't give me the piecey hair look. I guess if I didn't use so much of the Lush product it might be okay. Hope my rant helps you a little lol
Aromatic Beauty yes it did, thanks for the fast reply ❤!!
Loved this video!!! I have the same exact hair. Had short hair but let it grow out and my curls are sooo frizzy and all over the place!!!! Thanks!
Omg THANK YOU! My hair is literally EXACTLY like yours and it’s been a life struggle to find a system that allows me to wear it naturally, without looking homeless. 🤦🏻♀️ These tips are amazeballs. 😍💕🙌🏻
Uh, duh, Kyle, you think we would be without Tortillas????
Hi girl quick tip, store the Shea butter on dark colored jar or store it in a place where sunlight does not reach so that the butter does not lose its properties.
Ara Valenttina I heard the same thing the other day and have been on the hunt for a UV filtering jar on amazing that's big enough! Thanks for looking out 😉
Melissa Alatorre - not sure if this helps- blue mason jars from ball. m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/ball-reg-heritage-collection-wide-mouth-mason-jars-in-blue-set-of-4/3292355?skuId=46078780&mcid=PS_googlepla&gclid=CjwKEAjwr_rIBRDJzq-Z-LC_2HgSJADoL57HKquaBzJUKJVMRaUauzzWITiXG-7MrnQiGBWeUtc8QxoCS_rw_wcB

P Valenttina .
Girl yes! You spoke to my soul the first 2 minutes
THIS VIDEO IS SO HELPFUL and inspired me to wear my natural curly hair and not "hate" it anymore !!
BEAUTIFUL LIONS MANE!!! You, Emily Noel and Zabrena have the most gorgeous hair. Kathleen Light's as well. All natural, no extensions, thick hair. Can you donate some to me? lol xoxo
next video...actually show us! I need those visuals girl
I tried but most of the action takes place in the shower and didn't know how to go about filming that naturally hahaha
Melissa Alatorre with bikini/swimsuit on? Put the camera very high only showing your head/hair? ☺
This video is VERY helpful! My hair is super thick and frizzy, definitely want to try these products. Also, your makeup and hair look gorgeous! :)
Wow really thank you for all these tips! I have very thick curly hair that I've been growing out 7 months now,and still going.👍
0:16 She said: "Hit or Miss?" I say: "I guess they never miss huh??"
She looks like a combination of Salma Hayek/Megan fox ❤️
I literally have the same hair type!! Thank you soooooooooooo much for the types!! Will use!!!!!
Wow! You’ve just saved me from getting a pixie. I have the same exact hair issues. You’re a lifesaver.
Thank you thank you thank you
