WHATS GOOD EVERYBODY!! You all make my day and 100% made my year in 2019. Who is new here in 2020? I welcome you and am so excited for you to start you journey, drop your questions here in the comment section and i will answer as many as i can and link the video you need to see to help!! LETS GET IT, CURLS! xoxo, Mell
Honestly, the recommendation for the bonnet was enough for me to be forever in your debt. That thing has changed the game for me. I bought all my curly haired friends ones for the holidays!
wow, best. gift. EVER. They owe you a whole lot for saving their curls in the morning hahaha. I'm so glad I've helped you! I hope you share this video to those curly haired friends still struggling ;) Thanks for watching, Happy new year and happy texture Tuesday!! xoxo
I always cover the tip of my ears with my hair because they get at least slightly cold and uncomfortable otherwise. That's why the bonnet tip sounds uncomfortable to me. Do you have any tips? Or anyone else reading this? (I posted this below another comment, sorry for spam😅)
3 theories : maybe you're not putting enough product (not the same amount as in the front). maybe because of the friction with your clothes or maybe bc you're not protecting it at night and the friction with ur pillow makes knots and frizz.
I have this problem every time I try fixing my hair without sectioning and using a styling brush. I keep hoping I can shorten styling time, but I just have to redo my hair sooner. I hate that ball of frizz in the back!
Please don’t ever change who you are! I just love how theatrical and anime you are!!! You are HIL 👏 AR 👏 IOUS 👏 !!!! Now I have to rewatch this bc I can never wait til ur done to comment!
a b there are other options you don’t have to wear a bonnet but if you want to just ignore him. He shouldn’t be bothered or upset because you want to protect your curls.👩🏽🦱
I have naturally curly very thick, coarse hair. When I was younger it was super curly, but today at (clears throat) 45 years old it has lost its kink and is now just wave. I discovered you while I was looking for ideas on how to get them back. I didn't want to do the curly girl method because even though I go 7-12 days without washing (yes I can really go that long) I didn't want to "co-wash" because I need my hair clean of product. I started using a hot iron on my hair as soon as I was I could get my hands on one, so probably 25 years ago. I am tired of slamming heat to my hair and wanted my curl back. I have followed your videos, bought a diffuser, changed my hair products and the way I style. It is WORKING! I have used L'Ange products on my hair for two years and I love it. It has made my hair healthy and shiny and gives it body but I took your advice and decided I should change it up, so I bought some Verb (waiting on it to get here) to see if my hair needed a wake up with different products. I am sorry that this long, but I wanted to thank you for giving this (kind of) old lady her curls back. I watch every Tuesday and I have sent your videos to my twin sister and daughter who also have hair like mine so they can rock their natural locks too! Keep up the good work!!
Hair update: since I have been watching your videos, (a few months now) I have had major positive results. My hair has definition, it's hydrated and not too hydrated, my whole routine has gotten a lot quicker too since I am used to doing the finger curl. It's literally amazing. I'm a mix of white and Hispanic, so my hair is too soft for the harsh chemicals despite the curl. My mother is white, and has always tried her best with my hair, but never fully understood how to do it. So I suffered with the lack of knowledge of how to handle my hair. Not any more! You are a life saver!
I’m getting my curls back this year!! No ifs buts or ands!! I’m starting the process and I’m already noticing a difference! I’m so glad I found this channel!
UMMMM CONFESSION! I was tempted to wear a tight bun today and while in the shower “wear your natural curls” came to mind from this video! Sooooo thank you Mell!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💗💗🌸🌸
@Bonnie Hayes yes mom hating. Not taking care of your kids hair is literally child neglect. If you do your research then that’s good, but if you don’t put in any effort in trying to maintain your child’s hair you’re in the wrong.
I can't remember when I subscribed to you, but I DO remember the reason. Not many naturals on TH-cam have high porosity hair and I feel so much better knowing always doing a wash n go isn't bad. Most say you HAVE to do a protective style but I hate it. You taught me how to learn what my hair needed. For that, I'm thankful for your channel and look forward to all your future videos in 2020
I'm so glad I found your channel in Nov. of 2019! Now I'm starting my curly hair routine and have bought so many products you and your SEESTER have recommended. My boyfriend is not a fan of Bonnet time though LOL.
Ummmmmmm has anybody told you today how awesome you are? Because you are. I just started my curly girl journey January 1st and u make this experience of learning so much fun. You are my noodle head. Thanks Mel for all your advice and humor.
Are you coming out with a video for short curly hair sometime? I feel like styling is totally different because my hair is so heavy it sits on itself and requires some serious coaxing
You are wonderful. I just started my natural curly hair journey January 2020. Your videos have been a great source or inspiration, education and awesome information, that we definitely help me on my journey. You are also wildly entertaining in the best way. I’m so interested in everything you have to say about natural hair. I can watch your videos for hours and never get board. Thank you for being such a valuable source of information, and for just being you. You are beautiful inside and out, and I’m so glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work. I know you are helping a lot of us who are struggling on this natural hair journey.
I'm so glad I found this video. After 25 years, I've just learned that I have curly hair. Like, 3a curls. I had no idea! But your channel has been a huge lifesaver for me, and this video especially. The hardest thing is definitely to not manipulate it, like you said. My hair to my waist, and not doing something with it drives me nuts!
I cannot tell you how much you’ve helped me on my curly hair journey. I’ve been having a harsh few years trying new products and different routines, and you’ve definitely put me in the right direction 🥰
@manesbymell Girl, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! Your videos have changed my curly hair life! I have never seen it so beautiful like I do now all because of your tips, product, and style recommendations. Thank you Mel. Thank you.
You have LITERALLY changed my life! Growing up in the 90's where smooth and sleek was the way to be, embracing big and curly hair has been a process! Thank you!!! 💜💜💜 Here's my question: I'm a dental hygienist and have to wear my hair back/up 40 hours a week. Any suggestions on how to best do this to embrace the curl, not damage my hair, but still comply with regulations?
emblack3144 - whenever I need to pull my hair back, I use an invisibobble! It’s a coiled hair tie that you can just put on your hair and it will hold it in place (at least for me). I typically get headaches whenever I tie my hair back but I haven’t had that problem with this one!
@@t.h.1492 Thank you! That's what I've been using since I watched the video on the top ten things to know/get for curly hair. I, also, haven't gotten a single headache since using them, and I used to all the time! I'm glad to hear it's not causing extra damage!
I put mine up on top of my head in one of those coiled ponytail holders & sleep on a 100% silk pillowcase. Love my results! (I'm pretty sure Mell recommended this if you do not have a bonnet.)
I know Mel doesn't follow the Curly Girl method, but I don't see what harm a Pineapple (very loose ponytail on top of the head, suggested by the method) would do if you use the pillowcase with it.
I’m so glad I came across your videos because I have been trying to get my curls healthier for a while but don’t know the correct way and haven’t found a TH-camr that knows what their doing with curly hair I can’t wait to try out all the tips I learned from watching your videos tomorrow morning when I shower
You are the best! ❤️ I was so overwhelmed with all CGM rules and close to give up on my natural hair. But now I look at my hair in the morning like „what‘s good everybody? We can do this!“ Thank you so much!
Hi Mell 👏👏👏👏 I came across your channel and let me give you credit that your tips and advices are too awesome and helpful!! I have natural curls but combing them,ironing them made it so worst because I had no proper guidance . I started to feel that I don’t look beautiful, I stopped going out for dinners and gathering because my hair use to look like broom. I got motivated and inspired by your videos, straight went for a hair cut to get rid of dead ends and bought proper products to make them look good and they actually started to look beautiful now. I now get compliments on how preety my hair looks. I regained my confidence. Thank you mell, you are a life saver ☺️ much love to you and your sister 💕💕
Hey Mel! What's your advice on sweaty curls? I'm at the gym 5 days a week for about 45-70 min. By the end of my workout my curls are incredibly sweaty, and tangled. I have no choice but to wash it everyday or keep my hair straighten as it's easier for me to just straighten the kinks. I'd love to rock my natural curls...except my hair is as long as your seester, and maintain after a workout takes almost 45-60 min for mee. Hallpp ❤️
Thank you! I'm new to this journey. I'm stopping 32 years of color @48. Gonna be Silver and curly . Woke up other morning my curls ugh frizzy . Ordered my sleep bonnet. Have not seen another video talking about sleep havoc! Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤😊
I just found I’m your channel after viewing many others. I really think you have the best tips advice and I’m so glad you don’t encourage putting globs of product or washing every day. I was really scared to put myself and 2 daughters on these methods because of the cost alone!
I think a bonnet is just what I need! I will wash my hair, and get awesome curls for them to ruin while I sleep. You are a lifesaver Mel! I am so excited now.
I discovered your channel only just this weekend so I could learn to put my hair in a scarf and I’m so glad I found you! Your curl pattern is so close to mine and your recommendations are so ON IT! Thank you for sharing the Curly Hair Gospel 🤙🏼👏🏼
I had to return Amanda's bonnet cause it was NOT comfortable on my head. But the orange one you have? AMAZING! so happy with how it preserved my curls thank you! ❤
Discovered your channel recently randomly even before trying to look at tips to bring back my childhood waves/curls from the 90s brushed out floof it became when not straightened. Having that Minnesota winter going on, this kind of info has been extra helpful!! I'm still not great at diffusing with my short T-Rex arms holding the dryer, but I have super improved since watching your videos!
My hair was so damaged because it was straightened too often. And I never every took care of my hair because I never knew how to. Your videos have helped me a lot and I have a curls again but it's still a little damaged so I'm crowing it out. Thanks so much!
Try to comb with fingers en or comb with less teeth. Use a microfiber towel that’s is smooth en just wrap it on your hair . Scrunch only if needed and with product on your hands or just water .i have fine hair to 3a/3b curl hope these tips work for you to and licht products like mouse and amandel oil to finish . These are tips and you may use if you wish to
Joss here all the way from SA. U are absolutely lovely I just started my journey and feel super lost dunno what the gell I'm doing . Thank the heavens for you Mell 🌹
I love your hair so much! Say if I wanted a perm with your curls... What size rod should I use? Or what color? ♥️♥️♥️ Also could you do a video on what your thoughts are on permed curly hair? And if the curly girl routine is the same or different from naturally curly girls.... 💁😊 Thanks girl!
Thank you Mell and Amanda for everything!!! I believe that the changes that you are making are DEFINITELY paying off you seem much more confident and happier in this video!!! Btw I got a new spray bottle for Christmas and i love it!!! Again thank you both for everything! Happy New Year!!! Xoxoxo
I’m also tempted to fly to Canada! I have a question: I workout often and of course sweat a lot. I have to wash my hair at least 3 times a week. I do co-wash. Then I always style as you suggest. I know it’s not good... what else can I do or should I add something to the routine? TIA!!!!
The water thing explains so much. My hair is short (collar bone when stretched) but I am doing almost daily soaking wet refreshes. I will also condition and sometimes detangle again. It doesn't want to curl at all!!
Thanks Mel for all the great tips. You should have a college course, your that good. Tons of women would be taking your class. One thing I’d like to share about the bonnet. I bought one and the silk pillow case. When I first started using the bonnet my hair was still a mess in the morning. My hair is not very long, just enough to make a pineapple. So I do both, put my hair in a pineapple and put the bonnet on. And wow that makes my hair amazing in the morning. Love second day hair now. Thanks again for all the wonderful information. Your the best.
Hi! I love your channel! And I just started my curly hair routine, I might be young but who cares? I’m twelve years old and i got curls till my belly button. I always thought that it was straight by combing it everyday because my straight haired friends told me to do it. But now I finally considered that I HAVE curls! I have to wet it everyday with a spray bottle because when I wake up (from my loose bun covered in a turban) it lost its volume and my curls looks like dreads so I have to wet it EVERY MORNING and re style it. Do you have tips to avoid re styling it everyday?
Thank you so much! Can you please do a video on how to take care of coverd hair( religious or not religious reasons) and how to maintain the curls while wearing a headscarf most of the time . That would be much appreciated! :-)
I just started my curly hair journey and my hair is all over the place. My curls range so much, some pieces are straight from damage, other spots are super coil curls and then other spots are in between. The top of my head closer to my forehead to is VERY thinning. Mostly from the forehead to about 3-4 inches back. Will I ever get my coily curls back?? I LOVE your videos and I really hope the starter kit and denman brush and your other tips start to help! it breaks my confidence that my hair doesn't look good! THANK YOU for your videos!
My favorite curly hair youtuber❤️do you have any tips to keep your bonnet on your head all throughout the night? I ordered the exact same bonnet but it falls off every single night and my curls are smushed and my definition is also taken away by morning :(
AWE thanks for saying that!! im sorry to hear about your bonney troubles, but i have some tips in this video from me and my seester as well! hope it helps, thanks for watching ❤️ Night routine video: th-cam.com/video/agaIvWIaumU/w-d-xo.html Refresh Videos: th-cam.com/video/LSEckZc-msg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/WljidC54MbY/w-d-xo.html
Bobby pins (Kirby grips UK lol) are the only thing that keeps mine on. Four pins one over each ear, one at the back and one at the front. I'm very restless and mine fell off every night till I started pinning it in place. works fine now.
Hey Mell!! Does all of your videos apply to perms? I am getting a perm to increase the volume of my hair and to give me better curls rather than waves, i’ve never had curls and i’m just wondering if everything you say applies to permed hair?
ALL the videos on your channel help! Happy New Year Mell! Thank you for the tips as always! Super excited for a new year and more hair tips! I've watched MANY other curl videos by others and your are the most helpful and truly educational!
Can you do a video explaining how HARD water and SOFT water affect curls? I feel like no matter how many methods and products I've tried my curls still seem to have no shape and my roots look super flat as well. I have hard water and live in cali
I love your videos Mell, there are so many helpful tips which have encouraged both my hair growth and hair health. Even as a wavy, my hair is better thanks to all you've taught me. P.S, the scalp brush is the best thing I've ever purchased for my hair. 😁
This video is very helpful, thanks ( I was washing my hair everyday and stopped since I watched this my hair has been more bouncier and curlier) but how much times are you meant to wash it a week? Thanks x
I am new to your channel. I love it all. Thank you for helping us women with our curly hair issues. Do you have a amazon site where you have your hair bonnet and products you use yourself?
@@ManesByMell Thanks Mell! I hope you have an amazing day, too. Could you and Amanda do a TH-cam or IGTV video on how you wrap your perfecthaircare towels on your heads? I recently got one and am struggling to find the best way to wear it so I get the benefits, but don't smash my curls. 😊❤ Thanks
Fantastic! Would you be able to do a series the order to use products on your going to color hair and when you have to wash daily due to coronavirus shifts.? Should you do a deep clean shampoo before coloring and then a protein and then a moisturizing treatment after?
Ty for the videos, I am learning so much. I have a toddler with very frizzy hair & despite watching hours of videos I still cannot seem to address the frizz.
Hi - I just found you and I am so happy -I am 70 years old and the only time I have felt comfortable with my hair was in the 80's when I had the most wonderful afro!! - since then I have been blow dryintg and flat ironing my hair until 2 years ago when i fully retired - I decided to stop fighting so I let my coloring go and stopped ironing and blow drying my hair - then I had it cut because it was easier to handle - my hair is about 4 inches on the top and just almost to the bottom of my ears but layered - any suggestions that would be different for short hair
1. Hair bonnet
2. Strengthening treatment & deep conditioner / mask
3. Wear hair naturally
4. Styling (prep style finish method)
5. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF
WHATS GOOD EVERYBODY!! You all make my day and 100% made my year in 2019. Who is new here in 2020? I welcome you and am so excited for you to start you journey, drop your questions here in the comment section and i will answer as many as i can and link the video you need to see to help!! LETS GET IT, CURLS! xoxo, Mell
I'm new! I signed up at the end of 2019. You're the best - gorgeous hair and gorgeous personality!
Im still here 2020 happy new year mel❤
If ur curls go on there own one way should i not try to manipulate it to go the other way? Or when finger coiling go the same way as curl falls?
Did you hear about the DevaCurl lawsuit?!
What about curly girls that work out everyday? It's hard to not want to wet your hair after sweating :/
Honestly, the recommendation for the bonnet was enough for me to be forever in your debt. That thing has changed the game for me. I bought all my curly haired friends ones for the holidays!
wow, best. gift. EVER. They owe you a whole lot for saving their curls in the morning hahaha. I'm so glad I've helped you! I hope you share this video to those curly haired friends still struggling ;) Thanks for watching, Happy new year and happy texture Tuesday!! xoxo
Just using a silk pillow helped me bigtime.
I always cover the tip of my ears with my hair because they get at least slightly cold and uncomfortable otherwise. That's why the bonnet tip sounds uncomfortable to me. Do you have any tips? Or anyone else reading this?
(I posted this below another comment, sorry for spam😅)
Where do u buy it..don't see link
@@solar0wind I’m sure you can pull the bonnet over your ears
Does anyone else have this problem: Most of your hair is soft and frizz free, but just the very back is always fuzzy and dry?
I have this problem!!!
Saaame
3 theories : maybe you're not putting enough product (not the same amount as in the front). maybe because of the friction with your clothes or maybe bc you're not protecting it at night and the friction with ur pillow makes knots and frizz.

I am so tempted to travel to Canada from Miami just to be able to get my hair done by you and get some first hand advice! 😅
Me too!! 😂
Better yet, I hope I can come to Miami to see you!! Who's down?
Girl i feel you! I'm form Chile and in a few years i'll be travelling to Canada, Mell will be my first stop
@@ManesByMell if you go to Miami, I'll definitely take my flight from Guatemala to meet there halfway. 💪🤷🏻♀️
Yes please come to Miami 🙏🏼
Please don’t ever change who you are! I just love how theatrical and anime you are!!! You are HIL 👏 AR 👏 IOUS 👏 !!!! Now I have to rewatch this bc I can never wait til ur done to comment!
I never have and i never will! Thanks so much for your comment, i hope you enjoyed the video!! xoxo
My boyfriend hates bonnet time. But I don’t care because it’s a life saver. Curls > bf
How supportive of him. XD
khushali kukar lmao my boyfriend hates it too 😂
My husband laughs whenever I bring it out 🤷🏼♀️ I’ve gotten good at ignoring him
I would feel uncomfortable wearing bonnet in front of my boyfriend :(

I’m probably the only one but when she says “What’s good everybody?” I always respond “You!”
Idk why, but I do and you are 😊
Who else is trying to revive their curls from their toddlerhood 😂 freaking MOM NOT TAKING CARE OF MY CURLS
Me
SheLoveCieqa Update: They’ve gotten a lot better!!!
me with an indian mom: MMEEEE
@Bonnie Hayes yes mom hating. Not taking care of your kids hair is literally child neglect. If you do your research then that’s good, but if you don’t put in any effort in trying to maintain your child’s hair you’re in the wrong.
My mom made me hold my hair upside down as she brushed it while using the hair dryer = #fluffypyramidhair
I've been getting so many compliments on my hair ever since I started following your advice Mell! You are the best 😊❤
You should make an updated version of this video 😄 I love your videos!!! Ready to stop straightening my hair everyday and love my curls!
I needed that boost of confidence for my straight curls who never wanna curl . You are the queen of curls 👑
Same, God bless youu
Just wanted to say, that shirt makes your eyes POP! ❤️❤️❤️

I agree the bonnet is awkward
I don’t wear a bonnet, but I wear a shower cap when I just wash my body, and for some reason my husband loves it 😂
I know the bonnet ain’t a good look, however it does work.
Mine either. He calls it my hair panties! But it works so he can deal.

Bonnet is annoying for me because it falls off my head when I sleep I just use a silk pillow case is that good enough?
You can pin it with bobby pins. It works for me
I had one that always fell off but mine now had a wider band. Now it stays on. Or like Naomi Dulas said, pin it.
I put mine up on top of my head in one of those coiled ponytail holders & sleep on a 100% silk pillowcase. Love my results! (I'm pretty sure Mell recommended this if you do not have a bonnet.)
Dominic Napolitano ikr it always be on the other side of the bed when I wake up

Hi Mell
👏👏👏👏
I came across your channel and let me give you credit that your tips and advices are too awesome and helpful!!
I have natural curls but combing them,ironing them made it so worst because I had no proper guidance .
I started to feel that I don’t look beautiful, I stopped going out for dinners and gathering because my hair use to look like broom.
I got motivated and inspired by your videos, straight went for a hair cut to get rid of dead ends and bought proper products to make them look good and they actually started to look beautiful now.
I now get compliments on how preety my hair looks. I regained my confidence. Thank you mell, you are a life saver ☺️ much love to you and your sister 💕💕
You are a curly hair GODDESS! My curls look so much better since I started watching your videos and taking you advice, THANK YOU!
I love the last tip and the bloopers ♥️♥️♥️😁 thank you Mel♥️♥️♥️
Hey Mel! What's your advice on sweaty curls? I'm at the gym 5 days a week for about 45-70 min. By the end of my workout my curls are incredibly sweaty, and tangled.

I'd love to rock my natural curls...except my hair is as long as your seester, and maintain after a workout takes almost 45-60 min for mee. Hallpp ❤️
Loved the tip about wearing your natural hair. I have been forever Wiggin it. Didn't even consider wearing it natural as a benefit.
Thank you! I'm new to this journey. I'm stopping 32 years of color @48. Gonna be Silver and curly . Woke up other morning my curls ugh frizzy . Ordered my sleep bonnet. Have not seen another video talking about sleep havoc! Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Notification squad! Happy new year Mell :))
Happy new year!!!! 😍
Your videos have save mi hair and make my curls look better than ever! Thanks!!!
I just found I’m your channel after viewing many others. I really think you have the best tips advice and I’m so glad you don’t encourage putting globs of product or washing every day. I was really scared to put myself and 2 daughters on these methods because of the cost alone!
I think a bonnet is just what I need! I will wash my hair, and get awesome curls for them to ruin while I sleep. You are a lifesaver Mel! I am so excited now.
You are the best! Binge watching your videos and buying all the things...my curls are looking so much better.
I discovered your channel only just this weekend so I could learn to put my hair in a scarf and I’m so glad I found you! Your curl pattern is so close to mine and your recommendations are so ON IT! Thank you for sharing the Curly Hair Gospel 🤙🏼👏🏼
I'm so happy every time a new video comes out😍
that makes ME happy ❤❤ Happy texture Tuesday indeed 😍
You’re the best, I followed your tips on difuser and they are just popping
I had to return Amanda's bonnet cause it was NOT comfortable on my head. But the orange one you have? AMAZING! so happy with how it preserved my curls thank you! ❤
Trying to do better by my curls! Thanks for this playlist!
Thank you Mell, started my journey today on texture Tuesday, thank you for your guidance, it's priceless.
New here!! I don’t have curly hair but my daughter does so we are going through all the videos. ☺️ I seriously love your personality! ❤️
I missed you soo much! 💞 It made me sooo happy that you uploaded a vid! Happy texture Tuesday!
i really missed you too!! I cant wait to keep sharing every texture tuesday and more!! thanks for watching xoxoxo
Bonnet time has saved my curls. A life changer!
Discovered your channel recently randomly even before trying to look at tips to bring back my childhood waves/curls from the 90s brushed out floof it became when not straightened. Having that Minnesota winter going on, this kind of info has been extra helpful!! I'm still not great at diffusing with my short T-Rex arms holding the dryer, but I have super improved since watching your videos!
My hair was so damaged because it was straightened too often. And I never every took care of my hair because I never knew how to. Your videos have helped me a lot and I have a curls again but it's still a little damaged so I'm crowing it out. Thanks so much!
I'm having such a struggle with my hair definition 😭 I have fine hair so I feel like whenever I try to manipulate it in any way it makes it looser 😭
Try to comb with fingers en or comb with less teeth. Use a microfiber towel that’s is smooth en just wrap it on your hair . Scrunch only if needed and with product on your hands or just water .i have fine hair to 3a/3b curl hope these tips work for you to and licht products like mouse and amandel oil to finish . These are tips and you may use if you wish to
Miss you girl welcome back!!!
Joss here all the way from SA. U are absolutely lovely I just started my journey and feel super lost dunno what the gell I'm doing . Thank the heavens for you Mell 🌹
Got my bonnet back when I watched you and your sister sleep video 😻 your the best Mel
I love your hair so much! Say if I wanted a perm with your curls... What size rod should I use? Or what color? ♥️♥️♥️ Also could you do a video on what your thoughts are on permed curly hair? And if the curly girl routine is the same or different from naturally curly girls.... 💁😊 Thanks girl!
Helio! I'm from Brazil and I love watch your videos. Congratulations
Your videos have saved my hair and as a consequence my self-esteem. Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬
I'm a bonnet believer, since the curly girl must have products seester video. Thank you Mel and Amanda!
Thank you Mell and Amanda for everything!!! I believe that the changes that you are making are DEFINITELY paying off you seem much more confident and happier in this video!!! Btw I got a new spray bottle for Christmas and i love it!!! Again thank you both for everything! Happy New Year!!! Xoxoxo
I got a denman brush a couple days ago and I'm already in love!
The bonnet is a life saver!!!!
I’m also tempted to fly to Canada! I have a question: I workout often and of course sweat a lot. I have to wash my hair at least 3 times a week. I do co-wash. Then I always style as you suggest. I know it’s not good... what else can I do or should I add something to the routine? TIA!!!!
The water thing explains so much. My hair is short (collar bone when stretched) but I am doing almost daily soaking wet refreshes. I will also condition and sometimes detangle again. It doesn't want to curl at all!!
Your performance is really amazing!! You´re so funny and unique. I love it.
Thanks Mel for all the great tips. You should have a college course, your that good. Tons of women would be taking your class.
One thing I’d like to share about the bonnet. I bought one and the silk pillow case. When I first started using the bonnet my hair was still a mess in the morning. My hair is not very long, just enough to make a pineapple. So I do both, put my hair in a pineapple and put the bonnet on. And wow that makes my hair amazing in the morning. Love second day hair now. Thanks again for all the wonderful information. Your the best.
I’m new here and loving you’re videos and so happy that I found you!
Green is your color!! You look beautiful!
You are soooo gorgeous, funny, and talented! Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us!!!!
My queen has updated again ❤❤❤❤
sheeeee's HEEEEEREEEE! ❤️❤️❤️ HAPPY TEXTURE TUESDAY AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Best way to start 2020!
Hi! I love your channel! And I just started my curly hair routine, I might be young but who cares? I’m twelve years old and i got curls till my belly button. I always thought that it was straight by combing it everyday because my straight haired friends told me to do it. But now I finally considered that I HAVE curls! I have to wet it everyday with a spray bottle because when I wake up (from my loose bun covered in a turban) it lost its volume and my curls looks like dreads so I have to wet it EVERY MORNING and re style it. Do you have tips to avoid re styling it everyday?
Mel, I love you! You have such a kind spirit ❤️
Thank you so much! Can you please do a video on how to take care of coverd hair( religious or not religious reasons) and how to maintain the curls while wearing a headscarf most of the time . That would be much appreciated! :-)
I just started my curly hair journey and my hair is all over the place. My curls range so much, some pieces are straight from damage, other spots are super coil curls and then other spots are in between. The top of my head closer to my forehead to is VERY thinning. Mostly from the forehead to about 3-4 inches back. Will I ever get my coily curls back?? I LOVE your videos and I really hope the starter kit and denman brush and your other tips start to help! it breaks my confidence that my hair doesn't look good! THANK YOU for your videos!
My favorite curly hair youtuber❤️do you have any tips to keep your bonnet on your head all throughout the night? I ordered the exact same bonnet but it falls off every single night and my curls are smushed and my definition is also taken away by morning :(
AWE thanks for saying that!! im sorry to hear about your bonney troubles, but i have some tips in this video from me and my seester as well! hope it helps, thanks for watching ❤️

They also make bonnets with adjustable straps so you can tighten it securely. One of my bonnets is adjustable and would fall off my head otherwise
Bobby pins (Kirby grips UK lol) are the only thing that keeps mine on. Four pins one over each ear, one at the back and one at the front. I'm very restless and mine fell off every night till I started pinning it in place. works fine now.
T. H. Could you possibly share a link to what works for you? I have the same problem.
Tbh I once used kinesiology tape. It worked, but hurt to take off 😂
I simply love you and your tips💚💚💚
Hey Mell!! Does all of your videos apply to perms? I am getting a perm to increase the volume of my hair and to give me better curls rather than waves, i’ve never had curls and i’m just wondering if everything you say applies to permed hair?
ALL the videos on your channel help! Happy New Year Mell! Thank you for the tips as always! Super excited for a new year and more hair tips!
I've watched MANY other curl videos by others and your are the most helpful and truly educational!
Thank you again Mell! Always great content ❤️👏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for all the love ❤️❤️❤️
I recently found this channel and I love you energy
I have straight hair but i am enjoying your channel.
Can you do a video explaining how HARD water and SOFT water affect curls? I feel like no matter how many methods and products I've tried my curls still seem to have no shape and my roots look super flat as well. I have hard water and live in cali
I love your videos Mell, there are so many helpful tips which have encouraged both my hair growth and hair health. Even as a wavy, my hair is better thanks to all you've taught me.
P.S, the scalp brush is the best thing I've ever purchased for my hair. 😁
I love watching your videos. You are so flippin funny!!!!!!! So entertaining and educational. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
This video is very helpful, thanks ( I was washing my hair everyday and stopped since I watched this my hair has been more bouncier and curlier) but how much times are you meant to wash it a week? Thanks x
I am new to your channel. I love it all. Thank you for helping us women with our curly hair issues. Do you have a amazon site where you have your hair bonnet and products you use yourself?
Happy Texture Tuesday! Another great video with very valuable tips. Bonnets are life!
YES bonnets are LIFE!!! thanks for watching, i hope you have an amazing day!! xoxo
@@ManesByMell Thanks Mell! I hope you have an amazing day, too. Could you and Amanda do a TH-cam or IGTV video on how you wrap your perfecthaircare towels on your heads? I recently got one and am struggling to find the best way to wear it so I get the benefits, but don't smash my curls. 😊❤ Thanks
i have a satin pillow case for bedtime. does that work? i also I have a satin bonnet
ava PS yes that works well
Fantastic! Would you be able to do a series the order to use products on your going to color hair and when you have to wash daily due to coronavirus shifts.? Should you do a deep clean shampoo before coloring and then a protein and then a moisturizing treatment after?
Ty for the videos, I am learning so much. I have a toddler with very frizzy hair & despite watching hours of videos I still cannot seem to address the frizz.
Can you make a video on different types of curly hair I need help figuring out mine.
I love that you know your stuff so well and present it passionately, big thanks 🌟💕
Such a sweet comment thank you so much 💕💕
Hi - I just found you and I am so happy -I am 70 years old and the only time I have felt comfortable with my hair was in the 80's when I had the most wonderful afro!! - since then I have been blow dryintg and flat ironing my hair until 2 years ago when i fully retired - I decided to stop fighting so I let my coloring go and stopped ironing and blow drying my hair - then I had it cut because it was easier to handle - my hair is about 4 inches on the top and just almost to the bottom of my ears but layered - any suggestions that would be different for short hair
