If you have also done any of these bad hair habits, let me know in the comments how many fingers you were left with🖐Another special thank you to Tangle Teezer for partnering with me on this video. You have all seen me use the Tangle Teezer Wet Detangler amzn.to/3hVLiaN many times before on this channel and I was super excited when they decided to work with me on this! Thanks for the love & support you show me each and every week. See you next Tuesday xo
Okay I haven’t seen many videos of this idea but since I consider you a finger coil Queen because of the video you did comparing finger coils vs the denmen brush; it had me wondering?? What are some different types of finger coils and which could be best for different hair types🤔
I have 4 fingers left. I don't have a hair bonnet YET but I'm trying to get one ASAP. All of the others I haven't really done thank goodness. Btw love ur hair I wish you could do mine 😭😂
She actually doesn’t have exactly clear skin as she as shown in a Instagram. She uses a very good foundation but she does have a very good skin though!
When I was younger my mom used to brush out my hair everyday (omg it hurt so bad) which could be the reason my hair is so fine today 🤔. Now that I am an adult though I haven’t been brushing my hair while it is dry for a few years now. I also didn’t protect my hair at night. I thought up until a few years ago that only people with type 4 curls had to do that. But now my curls are protected at night. Love your videos Mel!
My mom was doing that too, and also brushing through from roots to ends... creating knots and just fighting against them every morning so i quickly learned to brush my hair myself to avoir this daily moment of pain... 😂😅
Oh my gosh. Yeah! Every Sunday before church, my mom would yank a brush through my hair. My dad finally took over because he was more gentle but I'd go to church with huge curls.
My grandma had the thery I hould brush my hair 100 times everyday. One day I was not quite myself, I sat her down, got a brush and started counting. By number ten she said "stop, stop, I get it" 🤣
Mel has saved my hair. I'm not even exaggerating. All her videos helped me figure out what my hair needs and how I can maintain it. I went from needing to relax my hair just to be able to work with it, to being able to just live my life with my beautiful natural hair. Haven't had a problem since I subscribed. Thanks Mel!
As a professional, that’s what we practice in salon especially on dirty hair or hair that isn’t washed often like curly hair. You’re good as long as you condition! 💗
I have to shampoo twice because my scalp is really sensitive to oils, gels ect so I need to make sure my scalp is squeeky clean by using a more harsh shampoo
Even tho it didn't look damaged before, your hair looks so much more healthy since you cut it. We once again witnessed the importance of regular trims 😍
Mel, can you do a video about greying hair and learning how to bring your natural curl out, I am having so many texture issues, I don’t know where to start! It’s difficult :)
Ok, who remembers their mom using Johnson and Johnson "No More Tears" spray so she could dry detangle with a few squirts of this stuff THAT DIDN'T WORK. Used to have NO FINGERS UP but now, because of you, I am 5 fingers UP and PROUD !!!!! Thanks Mell
I had four fingers left. I used to brush my curls dry but not now. I am on my journey to healthy curls. Thanks to you mell. I've learned a lot from you😃😃.
Mell! You saved me from all these mistakes! You are the reason I never went down the rabbit hole of "no poo" and giving up sulphates and silicones which would have made my (naturally pretty dang oily) hair hate me so much. BIG THANKS!
Thank you!! I’m on day 3 using your tips, tricks, and methods and I’ve already gotten so many compliments. I told my husband that I’m taking a “class” lol! A curly hair class! He noticed the difference in my hair on the first day! You are awesome! I love all of your knowledge! Thanks again!

Love your content! I used to really dislike my wavy hair and just recently I've been educating myself on how to properly care for it. Hope u can upload mode wavy hair videos. Keep up the great content!
@@MiVidaBellisima Hi! I saw on a comment she wrote about uploading videos on different hair textures and she has at least a couple of videos on wavy hair, but I'm not here *just* for wavy hair content, I however do hope she may talk about it again in the future :) It would be great if she did because I love how she explains things.
Oh man...that first one. I have ALWAYS shampooed my hair. I do a cowash every now and then when I feel like I need to retain some moisture, but I just cannot imagine not shampooing my hair. My scalp gets crazy after 4-5 days as it is. I think the only one of these I am still a tiny bit guilty of is refreshing with water. But I only do that here and there because I pineapple at night and it stretches the curls around my hairline out. I find just letting it get some steam from a hot shower works better though! Love your videos Mel! You were one of the first I watched when I decided to go back to my natural texture and I have just binge watched videos since then simply because you are just so fun to watch! Keep em coming!
Sister💕! Can you please make the next video about ‘why your curly hair tangles a lot?’ I really need your help 🥺 my hair tends to be drier on day 3 which can cause the curls to mat together. Applying more product and water doesn’t help me cause I have low porocity hair. You know what happens? My hair falls out while getting the tangles out, and my scalp hurts from the dryness while doing that.
Yup, all five fingers were down. Eeek! Thank goodness I have learned from these mistakes thanks to Mel and Amanda and some other notable curly hair gals. My textured hair is so much happier! Keep these amazing Texture Tuesday videos coming!!
I literally just started protecting my hair a couple of months ago while sleeping, not French braiding my hair wet every time I wash, and changing to scrunchies. Game changer. I had all five fingers down. This transition phase suuuuuucks though.
All these things help me a lot + finding the right product combo for my hair. It takes trial and error, but once you find what works, the curls last for days longer. Thanks Mel for you all your great guidance!
The only thing here I still do, is dry detangle. That being said I do not have very dense hair nor the coarsest. I find that jumping right into the water I have much more difficulty working through my hair gently. Im still looking for a good solution though. Your channel has taught me so many /real/ improvements to caring for my hair, and its entertaining beyond that. I have so much appreciation for it!
The only thing I have to do with my now damaged wavy hair, that is getting curlier every week, is rewet it almost everyday at least to a slightly damp wet .. because it's much more loose than yours and it's still transitioning, and i wake up and i pull it out of the bonnet, and its still in curl clumps just frizzy as hell and needs some tlc.. I follow all 5 steps of styling, and I baby it otherwise. But it's getting so much more curly and thanks to your help, even though we have different hair textures, I can't tell you how valuable your advice has been. Thank you always Mell!!!!
🖐 I have done all and now I don't do any bad habits. I've learned all my tricks from you and your seester.my hair has changed so much. Been following your channel for about a year now and recommend you to any curly girl that I come in contact with
I had 4 fingers down. The only thing I never did was cut out shampoo. My mom always told me that my hair was clean if it squeaked. I was just using the wrong shampoo! Thank God I learned to do better and get the right shampoo and conditioner. The other issues have been corrected thanks to you, primarily! Thanks for teaching me how to take care of my crazy mane! Although I am wild, like my curls, you have taught me to choose my items correctly according to what my hair needs. I now have the coils I had when I was 4 years old, so thank you for that! You and Amanda are amazing! You are definitely good at what you do here! Keep up the great work. Much love! 💜💙💚
Yikes...I have been dry detangling!!! NO more!! Refreshing in the morning with water!!! NO more!! I was left with 3...but now will have all 5 up!! Thanks Mell! :-D
Two fingers down ! I never protected my hair at night till I found this channel! I bought a silk pillow cases , satin scarves and bonnets ! Life changing !!!! I also used to wet my hair every single day !!!!!! I would shower daily and although I didnt shampoo daily I conditioned daily to detangle and refresh 🤦♀️ BUT IVE CHANGED !!!!! I PROMISE I DONT DO THOSE THINGS ANYMORE !
Mel! You've been a great influence on my hair!! I can't tell you how proud I felt when you'd list a hair mistake and I already knew exactly why it was a mistake + the correct method!
For many years of my life I always thought it was ok to brush my curly hair dry ,until I found your chanel....it did cause soooo much breakage in my hair but now I know not to make that mistake....
2 fingers down, better than I thought! I am GUILTY for the last one. Every single day in all of highschool I pulled my hair in a TIGHT high ponytail. I have come so far since then 😂. And high five to 5 fingers back up from watching your videos and learning from my mistakes. 🖐
I used to think my hair should/ could look silky and straight if I brushed it more. I always hated my hair but now I know its wavy and know tips how to make it look nice as it's intended.
I use to dry detangle all the time before I met your videos 😫 it made me hate to detangle. I'm also guilty of sleeping with my hair every where before I met you and your seester!
I felt called out for all five of them. I can't believe I used to do that. But now I don't and that's good. The latest one is the the protecting my hair while sleeping. I used to HATE wearing anything on my head and especially since I'm a wild sleeper, whatever was on my head (definitely not silk or satine btw) came off so I felt like it was pointless. But then I saw your videos and it was like a whole new world opened before my eyes hahaha Now my curls are healthier but not doing these 5 things at least. I'm still trying to get the hang of all your advice but at least I'm not torturing my scalp and hair anymore haha Thanks a million times for your videos and advice, Mell. You're awesome! 👍🏾
This channel has helped me so much. I just my bonnet and OMG! It made such a diference. I am not washing my hair everyday because now my hair is quite presentable. And I also used to put my wet hair inmediately on a ponytail or bun. But now that I know how to style it, I can enjoy my hair loose. Thank you so much!!!
I’ve seen your video on when to wash your hair video but I’m still confused. My scalp is not problematic and almost never gets itchy or dry and NEVER is too oily. It’s my hair that gets crazy. It gets bone-dry after a few days. Reminder: I corrected all five of the these issues and it still gnarls up and gets these fuzzy little bushes at the ends. Do I re-wash and style or what?
Since watching your videos you have really helped revive my curly hair! They never used to be able to hold their shape but now.. a new life has been given to them! Thank you! 💜
I grew up not having a clue about my curly hair, so I’ve done all 5 at some point. But now, thanks to this channel & my amazing hair dresser, I have no fingers up & the best hair I’ve ever had. Thank you so much!!
5 fingers down. Im in the repairing stage of my curls. Im currently enrolled in beauty school right now as well, your video absolutely just clicked! Thanks to you i will eventually be holding five fingers up!😊
Hiii Mell. This is ENTIRELY non related to the video BUT I've been wanting to ask you for this and since you posted this recently I think you MIGHT see it. Could you make a video of wedding hairstyles? Usually hair bride models have straight hair and...it's hard to visualize a curly style in a wedding dress. I guess it would also depend on the dress? I'd love to see something about that. Blessings!
1. Shampooing with conditioner only, did this when I was into CGM years ago 2. Mom used to dry brush my hair out everyday when I was a kid, ouch!! 3. Using a curling iron for many years to smooth out curls that were frizzy because I would towel dry my hair, rather than learning how to style properly with products and use a microfiber towel... thx Mell!
i was left with 2 fingers but ended up with 5 again because i just realized i've been following you guys for almost 2 years now which is so surreal to me!! you've helped me so much to understand my hair better, i'm truly thankful that channels like yours exist :)
I bought a tangle teezer today before i saw this and BOY. The snapping from my extremely dry hair that is recovering from protein overload was barely anything. (not a pro whatsoever tip- they are awesome on your scalp, its actually why i bought it). I got the original and it works awesome.
Well, I never ditched shampoo. I did ditch conditioner for a while because I was afraid of weigh down... but that only lasted a month at most. Dry detangling, and just brushing my hair dry all the time like it's straight or something, is my main one. SO MUCH DAMAGE. I'm about 6 months into my transition, and I'm loving it! (Although I'm also starting to reach the this-is-a-lot-of-work-and-so-much-damage-ugh stage. Sticking it out! I refuse to chop it off. ) Thanks for all the sciency!
My mom has stick straight hair so she never knew what to do with my hair and I have had to cut mats out of my hair in the past because I had no idea how to take care of it. Thank goodness for TH-cam, I wish it had been around when I was a teen.
I did 2 out of 5 habits so hurray for me, now I don't. Still learning hor to protect better my hair at night so I would say that 1 finger is still down. But thanks Mel for always showing us the right path with our beautiful manes
I've just started embracing the curly (well, combo 2B wavy and 3A curly at this point) about a month (?) ago. Now, and even when I wasn't embracing the curls, two fingers down for me, three remain up. Fingers down for 1) not having a night time bonnet and/or pillowcase, and 2) a tendency to use water every day to refresh). Actually, I ordered a bonnet two days ago from Amazon, though, ha ha! Should arrive tomorrow. :) Thanks for the hints! I will do better!
I have wavy hair and you helped me and my friend a lot!!! Only a year ago I was trying the curly hair trend and buying so much unnecessary products for me hair. Now I’m saving money with just using simple methods and simple hair products 🥰🥰🥰.
I had 3 down but two of them got to go back up because I have learnt from watching your fab channel. The finger that stayed down, dry detangling. I most of the time detangle in the shower with a comb bit I have fine wavy hair that can get away with detangling dry sometimes. Thanks Mell for the hairrific tips
I used to do a lot of these things but I’ve learned it the hard way that these thing are bad for your hair. I used to suffer from breakage and split ends but with your tips my hair is the healthiest it’s every been!💖
I ran into you videos bout 2 weeks ago , I seriously didn’t know I was doing so much wrong. I knew I could do better . You video are awesome . Your funny, you get right to the point, your extremely knowledgeable... You are now my hair guru. Thanks
I dry detangle with coconut oil as a prepoo, I have noticed a good change in my hair and less hair shed since I started dry detangling 🙂 I do mist it a bit with my mister so it isn bone dry, but I do the bulk of my detangling the day before wash day
Can't even lie, at some point I've dont all these same things. Over time I've organically stopped doing them, and kept getting better and away from ALL those things... then of course your videos have helped.
Definitely fell into the DevaCurl No Poo trap. I had chemical damage from the products actually. It took over 6 months for my scalp and hair to recover.
High five!! Yes, I have done four of five mistakes. I have always used shampoo. Your videos have taught me to how to take care of my curls: protecting when sleeping, wet detangling, prep-style-finish routine and so on. Dry brushing was terrible...Yikes. But I didn't know better back then. I did it when I was a child and very young when the internet was just coming, so not much information to get there. Actually, I altogether stopped dry brushing on my own accord for many years ago, because it just didn't make any sense. An excellent video again, thank you!
with the shampooing twice thing- i tried that trick the other day but i didn’t understand what i was supposed to do so i shampooed, then conditioner, then shampooed again and conditioned again and let me tell you; that is the SOFTEST my hair has ever been i was so so happy
Hahaha I’m so happy to hear that for you!! But no need to condition in between your washes. If you have a couple different shampoos at home, use the more cleansing shampoo first and then a more conditioning one for the second wash to avoid drying out the hair too much 👌🏼
So happy to have my birthday on a texture tuesday this year! Closed my day on a fun moment watching you explaining what i have done previously on my hair 😂😅 (fortunately not the 5 of them) and realize that... you taught me so much about how to take care of my hair in less than a year (yeah, just discovered you in 2020 🤦♀️🤷♀️ didn't know i was wasting so much time without you... )😘
I'm finally ready to chop off all my bleach damage in the next couple weeks...going from bra strap length to shoulder ish length 😬 but excited to be able to follow more of your volume tutorials! I have more type 2c-3a hair but I've learned so much from your channel!
Ok, gotta stop the over manipulation. I’ve been trying to decide on how I want to wear my hair to my daughter’s wedding...in July! Doing buns, twists, and ponytails, way too much these days. Just gonna do a warm oil treatment or a mask and let the hairs be for a while.
We've come so far people. It was only a year ago that I was using men's hair gel on my curls. All of Mell's advice has totally changed my hair into what it wanted to be!!!
Ty for educating us on curly hair. Could you do a video for how to deal with toddlers hair? I have a toddler and don’t want to destroy her hair but I want her to love her hair.
OMG! I've done all of that! The worst one was the no poo, took me years to realize why my ends were always thin and my hair wasn't growing very fast. The one I still sort of do is "dry" detangle sometimes, but only when I have a bunch of oil in my hair and I will sleep with It in my hair and scalp, of course I am very gentle when I am doing It.
Earliest I ever been to a video!! Thank you!😊 I no longer do any of those things thanks to you. But I am still in my transitioning process so I have a lot to learn about my hair😊
I grew up in a family of ONLY straight hair and I'm the only one with curls. Needless to say I never learned how to care for curls properly until about a year and a half ago. I used to heat style, dry brush, and straighten the life outta my hair because I thought there was something wrong with it and it didn't "do what it's supposed to". I've never had healthier hair than now after cutting my once waist length hair to my shoulders (6 or so inches at a time because I can't rock a pixie) and now I'm working on growing it back out the healthy way
Omg finally someone recommending shampooing TWICE I've been doing it pretty much always and it just works for me much better than just once but all the time I see people shampooing just once so I started thinking if I do it too much or something. As long as it's not a shampoo with sulphates that would dry my scalp and hair then I'm fine I guess.
I will admit in my almost 42 years of life that I have done all 5, BUT I have not done any of them in several years! So yay me! Thanks Mel for always having such awesome information for curlies. I look forward to #texturetuesday every week.
Would love it if you gave advice to the textured ladies in law enforcement/military who have to wear their hair up constantly! Monday-Friday, my hair is in a tight bun and slicked back. I would love advice on keeping it moisturized and healthy even though I have gel in it 5 days a week 😁
I had 3 fingers down- never did the water refresh (didn't know about hair porosity, just knew mine took 8 years to dry 🤣). And I didn't do severe hairstyles. I wore ponytails for work because I had to, and used the thin elastics because they were the only ones allowed 😐
Not me sitting here with 4 fingers down... I am ashamed of my highschool self and how she treated her hair. Thank you Mell and Amanda for teaching me so much
You're new haircut has settled in so nicely!!!!! Ok. I'm doing it. I have a VERY similar curl pattern but much lower density. The shape of exactly what I want.
We literally have the same curl type same density same coloring.. I just did a lil chop using the help of your videos🤗💕you have helped me with my curly hair struggles. I do still struggle with keeping my curls from getting matted by day 4-5.
I never dried detangled myself, but when I was little, my min used to do it to me. And I never liked elastics because they would get stuck, I used ribbons. But yes, all my fingers were down. But I haven't done any of those things in the almost 2 years I have following the MGM (Mane Girl Method) 😁 💗 Wouldn't have these curls without your help. I wish I would've known these things when I was younger.
I put two fingers down for not sleeping with my hair protected at night but, I bought a satin pillow case and bonnet this weekend. And wetting my hair every morning. I guess time to get creative with styling lol
1.I never done 2. Ooft I do it because usually It gets so bad by the time I end up washing it because I’m lazy 3. I haven’t really done because I’m a broke teenager who needs to get a job but I do now have a silk pillowcase and I wear a pineapple 4. At the start of year 7 when I was still learning I did that but now I’ve learned to embrace it and take care of it 5. Before my hair started to become more curly I would do this almost everyday and it didn’t help that I had to wear my hair up when I was in primary school so I wore a high pony tail everyday luckily now in high school I get to wear it down and everyone and new teacher I have complements it I’m gonna get more compliments as a new school year is starting for me soon Thank you so much Mell and Amanda you have saved my hair and now I get to teach my friends and family

I’ll forget to wear a bonnet at night and it completely messes up my hair. Frizz, messes up curl pattern, break up curls, etc etc. Worst thing ever!

What are your thoughts on sleeping with your hair braided as a protective hairstyle?
I have 4 fingers left. I don't have a hair bonnet YET but I'm trying to get one ASAP. All of the others I haven't really done thank goodness. Btw love ur hair I wish you could do mine 😭😂
she has great hair, clear skin, long lashes, perfect brows, WHAT DOESNT SHE HAVE!!! SHES PERFECT
I agree. Plus she has the perfect eye shape to me.
She actually doesn’t have exactly clear skin as she as shown in a Instagram. She uses a very good foundation but she does have a very good skin though!
Also perfect nails
She’s so gorgeous!

Check out swavy curly Courtney if you’re looking for someone with type 2 hair.

🖐 I have done all and now I don't do any bad habits. I've learned all my tricks from you and your seester.my hair has changed so much. Been following your channel for about a year now and recommend you to any curly girl that I come in contact with
I had 4 fingers down. The only thing I never did was cut out shampoo. My mom always told me that my hair was clean if it squeaked. I was just using the wrong shampoo! Thank God I learned to do better and get the right shampoo and conditioner. The other issues have been corrected thanks to you, primarily! Thanks for teaching me how to take care of my crazy mane! Although I am wild, like my curls, you have taught me to choose my items correctly according to what my hair needs. I now have the coils I had when I was 4 years old, so thank you for that! You and Amanda are amazing! You are definitely good at what you do here! Keep up the great work. Much love! 💜💙💚
Dry detangling with coconut oil has been a life saver for me I've noticed less breakage from detangling
Loving the volume today Mell!
The bigger the hair 😉
@@ManesByMell the harder they Stare haha.
@@ManesByMell THE HARDER THEY STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREEE
Yikes...I have been dry detangling!!! NO more!! Refreshing in the morning with water!!! NO more!! I was left with 3...but now will have all 5 up!! Thanks Mell! :-D
Two fingers down ! I never protected my hair at night till I found this channel! I bought a silk pillow cases , satin scarves and bonnets ! Life changing !!!!
I also used to wet my hair every single day !!!!!! I would shower daily and although I didnt shampoo daily I conditioned daily to detangle and refresh 🤦♀️
BUT IVE CHANGED !!!!! I PROMISE I DONT DO THOSE THINGS ANYMORE !
SO glad i found you. I finally begun to embrace my curls after years of trying to make them straight! yOU are such an inspiration!
Mel! You've been a great influence on my hair!! I can't tell you how proud I felt when you'd list a hair mistake and I already knew exactly why it was a mistake + the correct method!
Your comment brings me so much joy thank you for sharing 💗💗 happy texture Tuesday!!
For many years of my life I always thought it was ok to brush my curly hair dry ,until I found your chanel....it did cause soooo much breakage in my hair but now I know not to make that mistake....
2 fingers down, better than I thought! I am GUILTY for the last one. Every single day in all of highschool I pulled my hair in a TIGHT high ponytail. I have come so far since then 😂. And high five to 5 fingers back up from watching your videos and learning from my mistakes. 🖐
I used to think my hair should/ could look silky and straight if I brushed it more.
I always hated my hair but now I know its wavy and know tips how to make it look nice as it's intended.
Thank GOD I found your channel, now you're my new master on my way to the perfect curly hair path
I use to dry detangle all the time before I met your videos 😫 it made me hate to detangle. I'm also guilty of sleeping with my hair every where before I met you and your seester!
I felt called out for all five of them.
I can't believe I used to do that. But now I don't and that's good. The latest one is the the protecting my hair while sleeping. I used to HATE wearing anything on my head and especially since I'm a wild sleeper, whatever was on my head (definitely not silk or satine btw) came off so I felt like it was pointless. But then I saw your videos and it was like a whole new world opened before my eyes hahaha
Now my curls are healthier but not doing these 5 things at least. I'm still trying to get the hang of all your advice but at least I'm not torturing my scalp and hair anymore haha
Thanks a million times for your videos and advice, Mell. You're awesome! 👍🏾
This channel has helped me so much. I just my bonnet and OMG! It made such a diference. I am not washing my hair everyday because now my hair is quite presentable. And I also used to put my wet hair inmediately on a ponytail or bun. But now that I know how to style it, I can enjoy my hair loose. Thank you so much!!!
I’m guilty of all of them at some point but all five are back up today! Thanks for all your informative and entertaining videos!!!!!
I LOVE TO SEE IT 😍
I’ve seen your video on when to wash your hair video but I’m still confused. My scalp is not problematic and almost never gets itchy or dry and NEVER is too oily. It’s my hair that gets crazy. It gets bone-dry after a few days. Reminder: I corrected all five of the these issues and it still gnarls up and gets these fuzzy little bushes at the ends. Do I re-wash and style or what?
Previously, it was 4 fingers down, but with Mell, it's now 5 fingers up. Thank you, Mell and Amanda!
Since watching your videos you have really helped revive my curly hair! They never used to be able to hold their shape but now.. a new life has been given to them! Thank you! 💜
I used to dry brush and sleep on cotton pillow. Silk really makes a big difference
I grew up not having a clue about my curly hair, so I’ve done all 5 at some point. But now, thanks to this channel & my amazing hair dresser, I have no fingers up & the best hair I’ve ever had. Thank you so much!!
5 fingers down. Im in the repairing stage of my curls. Im currently enrolled in beauty school right now as well, your video absolutely just clicked! Thanks to you i will eventually be holding five fingers up!😊
Oh god.... I bought a bonnet recently but I haven't used it cause it kept falling off... Now I'm gonna listen to Mell and do it every time
I just started wearing a bonnet at night last week, and I can’t believe the effect it has on your hair! I also wish I knew earlier!
I needed to hear that “NO DRY DETANGLING”. I don’t typically dry detangle but i’ve always thought i was doing something wrong by brushing my hair wet
Hiii Mell. This is ENTIRELY non related to the video BUT I've been wanting to ask you for this and since you posted this recently I think you MIGHT see it. Could you make a video of wedding hairstyles? Usually hair bride models have straight hair and...it's hard to visualize a curly style in a wedding dress. I guess it would also depend on the dress? I'd love to see something about that. Blessings!
1. Shampooing with conditioner only, did this when I was into CGM years ago
2. Mom used to dry brush my hair out everyday when I was a kid, ouch!!
3. Using a curling iron for many years to smooth out curls that were frizzy because I would towel dry my hair, rather than learning how to style properly with products and use a microfiber towel... thx Mell!
i was left with 2 fingers but ended up with 5 again because i just realized i've been following you guys for almost 2 years now which is so surreal to me!! you've helped me so much to understand my hair better, i'm truly thankful that channels like yours exist :)
I bought a tangle teezer today before i saw this and BOY. The snapping from my extremely dry hair that is recovering from protein overload was barely anything. (not a pro whatsoever tip- they are awesome on your scalp, its actually why i bought it). I got the original and it works awesome.
i have been sooo happy with my hair ever since subscribing to your channel! you saved my hair!!
Well, I never ditched shampoo. I did ditch conditioner for a while because I was afraid of weigh down... but that only lasted a month at most. Dry detangling, and just brushing my hair dry all the time like it's straight or something, is my main one. SO MUCH DAMAGE. I'm about 6 months into my transition, and I'm loving it! (Although I'm also starting to reach the this-is-a-lot-of-work-and-so-much-damage-ugh stage. Sticking it out! I refuse to chop it off. ) Thanks for all the sciency!
I'm really glad to hear that shampooing 2x is OK! It always feels SO MUCH better when I do that but I was nervous about it being to harsh on my hair.
My mom has stick straight hair so she never knew what to do with my hair and I have had to cut mats out of my hair in the past because I had no idea how to take care of it. Thank goodness for TH-cam, I wish it had been around when I was a teen.
I did 2 out of 5 habits so hurray for me, now I don't. Still learning hor to protect better my hair at night so I would say that 1 finger is still down.
But thanks Mel for always showing us the right path with our beautiful manes
I've just started embracing the curly (well, combo 2B wavy and 3A curly at this point) about a month (?) ago. Now, and even when I wasn't embracing the curls, two fingers down for me, three remain up. Fingers down for 1) not having a night time bonnet and/or pillowcase, and 2) a tendency to use water every day to refresh). Actually, I ordered a bonnet two days ago from Amazon, though, ha ha! Should arrive tomorrow. :) Thanks for the hints! I will do better!
I have wavy hair and you helped me and my friend a lot!!! Only a year ago I was trying the curly hair trend and buying so much unnecessary products for me hair. Now I’m saving money with just using simple methods and simple hair products 🥰🥰🥰.
I had 3 down but two of them got to go back up because I have learnt from watching your fab channel.
The finger that stayed down, dry detangling. I most of the time detangle in the shower with a comb bit I have fine wavy hair that can get away with detangling dry sometimes.
Thanks Mell for the hairrific tips
Your shampoo tip has changed my life! My hair and scalp feels so much better and it looks great!
I used to do a lot of these things but I’ve learned it the hard way that these thing are bad for your hair. I used to suffer from breakage and split ends but with your tips my hair is the healthiest it’s every been!💖
Ohoh......Spraybottle every morning here. Ordered 4 Bonnets. Thanks so much.
I ran into you videos bout 2 weeks ago , I seriously didn’t know I was doing so much wrong. I knew I could do better . You video are awesome . Your funny, you get right to the point, your extremely knowledgeable... You are now my hair guru. Thanks
I dry detangle with coconut oil as a prepoo, I have noticed a good change in my hair and less hair shed since I started dry detangling 🙂
I do mist it a bit with my mister so it isn bone dry, but I do the bulk of my detangling the day before wash day
Can't even lie, at some point I've dont all these same things. Over time I've organically stopped doing them, and kept getting better and away from ALL those things... then of course your videos have helped.
Definitely fell into the DevaCurl No Poo trap. I had chemical damage from the products actually. It took over 6 months for my scalp and hair to recover.
That tangle teezer brush is the best!!!!!! Just bought one recently and my 4a/b hair loves it!
High five!! Yes, I have done four of five mistakes. I have always used shampoo. Your videos have taught me to how to take care of my curls: protecting when sleeping, wet detangling, prep-style-finish routine and so on. Dry brushing was terrible...Yikes. But I didn't know better back then. I did it when I was a child and very young when the internet was just coming, so not much information to get there. Actually, I altogether stopped dry brushing on my own accord for many years ago, because it just didn't make any sense. An excellent video again, thank you!
with the shampooing twice thing- i tried that trick the other day but i didn’t understand what i was supposed to do so i shampooed, then conditioner, then shampooed again and conditioned again and let me tell you; that is the SOFTEST my hair has ever been i was so so happy
Hahaha I’m so happy to hear that for you!! But no need to condition in between your washes. If you have a couple different shampoos at home, use the more cleansing shampoo first and then a more conditioning one for the second wash to avoid drying out the hair too much 👌🏼
for the last year i’ve been keeping all these habits up! love my hair now!
So happy to have my birthday on a texture tuesday this year! Closed my day on a fun moment watching you explaining what i have done previously on my hair 😂😅 (fortunately not the 5 of them) and realize that... you taught me so much about how to take care of my hair in less than a year (yeah, just discovered you in 2020 🤦♀️🤷♀️ didn't know i was wasting so much time without you... )😘
I clicked thumbs up before I even watched because I just knew it would be fire!
I'm finally ready to chop off all my bleach damage in the next couple weeks...going from bra strap length to shoulder ish length 😬 but excited to be able to follow more of your volume tutorials! I have more type 2c-3a hair but I've learned so much from your channel!
I swear Mel’s hair just gets better and better every video and It blows my mind every time !
Ok, gotta stop the over manipulation. I’ve been trying to decide on how I want to wear my hair to my daughter’s wedding...in July! Doing buns, twists, and ponytails, way too much these days. Just gonna do a warm oil treatment or a mask and let the hairs be for a while.
We've come so far people. It was only a year ago that I was using men's hair gel on my curls. All of Mell's advice has totally changed my hair into what it wanted to be!!!
Ty for educating us on curly hair. Could you do a video for how to deal with toddlers hair? I have a toddler and don’t want to destroy her hair but I want her to love her hair.
OMG! I've done all of that! The worst one was the no poo, took me years to realize why my ends were always thin and my hair wasn't growing very fast. The one I still sort of do is "dry" detangle sometimes, but only when I have a bunch of oil in my hair and I will sleep with It in my hair and scalp, of course I am very gentle when I am doing It.
Earliest I ever been to a video!! Thank you!😊 I no longer do any of those things thanks to you. But I am still in my transitioning process so I have a lot to learn about my hair😊
I grew up in a family of ONLY straight hair and I'm the only one with curls. Needless to say I never learned how to care for curls properly until about a year and a half ago. I used to heat style, dry brush, and straighten the life outta my hair because I thought there was something wrong with it and it didn't "do what it's supposed to". I've never had healthier hair than now after cutting my once waist length hair to my shoulders (6 or so inches at a time because I can't rock a pixie) and now I'm working on growing it back out the healthy way
Omg finally someone recommending shampooing TWICE I've been doing it pretty much always and it just works for me much better than just once but all the time I see people shampooing just once so I started thinking if I do it too much or something. As long as it's not a shampoo with sulphates that would dry my scalp and hair then I'm fine I guess.
In salon we would ALWAYS shampoo twice especially if the hair is very dirty. It’s better to over cleanse and re-condition than to under cleanse !
I will admit in my almost 42 years of life that I have done all 5, BUT I have not done any of them in several years! So yay me! Thanks Mel for always having such awesome information for curlies. I look forward to #texturetuesday every week.
Texture Tuesday 🙌🏻
Nederlands?😁😁
@@aniek8598 yep
I love this girls personality
Would love it if you gave advice to the textured ladies in law enforcement/military who have to wear their hair up constantly! Monday-Friday, my hair is in a tight bun and slicked back. I would love advice on keeping it moisturized and healthy even though I have gel in it 5 days a week 😁
I had 3 fingers down- never did the water refresh (didn't know about hair porosity, just knew mine took 8 years to dry 🤣). And I didn't do severe hairstyles. I wore ponytails for work because I had to, and used the thin elastics because they were the only ones allowed 😐
Not me sitting here with 4 fingers down... I am ashamed of my highschool self and how she treated her hair. Thank you Mell and Amanda for teaching me so much
You're new haircut has settled in so nicely!!!!! Ok. I'm doing it. I have a VERY similar curl pattern but much lower density. The shape of exactly what I want.
Ooo, Please do a video on hairstyle ideas for curly hair! Sometimes it's nice to not just wear it down. Ideas are always helpful.
We literally have the same curl type same density same coloring.. I just did a lil chop using the help of your videos🤗💕you have helped me with my curly hair struggles. I do still struggle with keeping my curls from getting matted by day 4-5.
I never dried detangled myself, but when I was little, my min used to do it to me. And I never liked elastics because they would get stuck, I used ribbons. But yes, all my fingers were down. But I haven't done any of those things in the almost 2 years I have following the MGM (Mane Girl Method) 😁 💗 Wouldn't have these curls without your help. I wish I would've known these things when I was younger.
I stopped doing all that for a while now just because of your channel queen ❤️❤️❤️
Ahhhh 😩 I put down all 🖐🏽!!! BUT, Mell, you’ve taught me not to do them anymore! THANK YOU!! 🙏🏽❤️😘
I put two fingers down for not sleeping with my hair protected at night but, I bought a satin pillow case and bonnet this weekend. And wetting my hair every morning. I guess time to get creative with styling lol
1.I never done
2. Ooft I do it because usually It gets so bad by the time I end up washing it because I’m lazy
3. I haven’t really done because I’m a broke teenager who needs to get a job but I do now have a silk pillowcase and I wear a pineapple
4. At the start of year 7 when I was still learning I did that but now I’ve learned to embrace it and take care of it
5. Before my hair started to become more curly I would do this almost everyday and it didn’t help that I had to wear my hair up when I was in primary school so I wore a high pony tail everyday luckily now in high school I get to wear it down and everyone and new teacher I have complements it I’m gonna get more compliments as a new school year is starting for me soon
Thank you so much Mell and Amanda you have saved my hair and now I get to teach my friends and family
