    MEL! I have an interesting topic! I couldn't figure out why my hair was constantly frizzy and not behaving no matter how close I followed the curly hair rules and used the proper products. I bought a Dyson dryer and that helped...but my hair would still go a frizz. ..UNTIL..I bought a water softener shower head and it's a total game changer!! We have hard water and apparently that has lots of bad things that help dry out hair. Many damaging minerals and chlorine will make it impossible to get soft, frizz free curls. Anyways, thought you might find that interesting!

    I’m Dominican so our salons are the queens of blow outs… to keep it straighter go to bed w a doobie! (Or tubi in Spanish) so you won’t have to retouch as much. I can follow my regular wash routine while keeping it straight.

  • @daCubanaqt
    @daCubanaqt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Dominicans used to do my blow outs in the 90s and early aughts (I haven’t straightened my hair in years now) 😊 They would put my hair in the huge plastic rollers and make me sit under a dryer for like 45 mins. Then they would take the rollers out and blow dry my hair smooth with a round brush. My hair used to come out great and really smooth. However, that heat was hard to take sometimes lol. I even had some strands that stayed straight for years until they grew out 😊 They weren’t playing!

      @layiyiyi6910 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I used to go to them but like you said, “the heat!” I do my own version at home… I set my hair in rollers, sit under the dryer, then wrap my hair around my head (dubi) for about 15 min. Then I use a flat iron (a one pass per section). It’s silky and smooth and shiny! I’ve tried the blow drying after the roller set but just can’t get it as smooth, shiny and flowing like they can.

    • @ComaLies225
      @ComaLies225 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      45 minutes???? Girl, you lucky. I usually had to stay for over an hour and I hated it! Not including the deep conditioning (which I would end up skipping cause it was additional time in the dryer) and getting my hair blow dried.
      I also used to go get Dominican Blowouts and I stopped mainly because of the heat. To be fair, I think my hair can tolerate high heat even without the deep conditioning.
      Doing my own hair now, whether it’s diffusing or straightening/silk pressing is much easier for me since I don’t have to go out of my way to go to the salon. My hair is also the healthiest now and tend to last when I do it myself, especially when it’s straightened. I think it also helps that I deep condition religiously lol.
      Dominican blowouts are great for the straight silkiness but it can be really damaging if you’re not careful with the heat

    Please do a review of New Wash for curly hair!

You're the only curly influencer I'd trust for a no BS review!

      Hey!
      I personally have been using new wash for almost 2 years and i love it! My husband loves it too, and i use it on my kiddo. Its so much better than any "cowash" or 2 in 1 one ive ever used. There is a transition period of your hair getting used to it. After a couple months you should be used to it and be able to go longer in between washes because it doesnt dry out the scalp! They have a quiz on their website to help you choose which formula to purchase as well as a spot to plug in your hair stylists salon/name to recieve a small discount on your first purcahse!

    What's good Mell!? Love your channel. Thought I'd share a boring little tip ... If you need to put on the demisters inside your car when driving, lower the sun visor almost all the way to the windshield, but not quite, regardless of weather and time of day. This will act to diffuse the airflow being generated by the demisters away from your curls and help to keep frizz at bay.

    Thank you for sharing!
    Tip: there's a "night maintenance" we do here in Puerto Rico for when we curlys blow out, too. Before bed, you WRAP your hair around your head using BIG bobby pins. For me to explain would be difficult. But we call it "EL DUBI-DUBI" (Could be in Google) doing this, leaves your hair silky smooth. When you wake up, you take off the bobbies and wrap it the OTHER way around for like 15 min. or so. We also do it AFTER we blow dry for a little while in each side before letting it down. IT WORKS 100%
    I SHIT YOU NOT!!!!! 😃

My friends and I call it the Conrad. I have the same hair as you, except you have more of it. I just section and blow out with the Conrad then throw in some ionic hot rollers that I barely leave in and then hair spray it and tease it.

      Of course you can. She just showed us a faster way. It will take longer. You have to be VERY carefull with the heat. I like to blow dry with a big round brush (depending on your hair length) Blow-dryers always will bring an attachment that filters the air in a thick stream instead of the wide stream you get with the big round attachment.

    • @ComaLies225
      @ComaLies225 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I have both a Dyson hairdryer and a regular hairdryer (my travel dryer) and using it is not too different you just need to be careful with the heat of a regular dryer.
      You can find a universal comb attachment that will fit most dryers for cheap. If you can’t, using a paddle brush or regular brush also works well, just got to brush down and keep brushing down until you get your hair as straight as you possibly can.
      Like another user mentioned, I also use a round brush, specifically a big round brush since I have a lot of hair, and long hair. I use a round brush mainly because it dries my hair faster and my ends don’t fray out like it does with brushing down. If you happen to have the same issue, I suggest sectioning your hair into small sections and wrapping the small section all over the brush. The hair should Not overlap. Also detangle hair before wrapping it around the round brush. The brush should be at your scalp when the small section has been wrapped around the brush. Then slowly pull the brush down (with the blowdryer following your brush) and continue until dried.
      All I can also recommend is doing it on a day off and also have lots of patience. Hope this helps

    • @orange_piano
      @orange_piano 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      3 months late but yes, it will be damaging to your hair. You can do everything necessary to protect your hair from the heat, but if you're straightening after every wash, you're definitely going to get heat damage over time. It won't happen immediately, thanks to the heat protection-- but it's going to happen. I would really recommend exploring ways to style your natural hair in a more efficient and time-saving way! A few years ago, I would spend nearly an hour styling my hair. But nowadays, I'm able to style in 25-ish minutes, sometimes less. You just gotta explore different products and techniques :) I hope you find this comment helpful!!
      edit: I have thick, curly hair (slightly tighter curl than Mell, like 3b). forgot to mention that

    Your passes with the flat iron weren’t perfectly smooth. Doesn’t that make a big difference in the finished look and in terms of heat damage? Or is that just an issue for cheap irons? Love ya girl and you look great!

    Have you tried roller setting your hair then blow dry ? Would be cool to see that. I used to do that years ago cause my is crazy curly and it makes my hair shiny and smooth.

    I have pin straight hair so every single blowout ever turns into "my natural hair but sleek™" (I do manage to get some bend at the end but it's generally on on single strand,I can never reproduce it on the rest of the hair and it falls off by the time I finish the blowout)

    Happy texture Tuesday I've been growing out my undercut for about 2 months now, how long do you think it will take for it to catch up to the rest of my hair? The longest parts of my hair are mid length, part way down my back but not quite up to my elbows.
    Luckily I have fairly high density hair and I use it to cover the undercut.!

      Don’t worry! I didn’t apply heat for 3 years, got a big itch to blow out during the winter when i visited Colorado and so worth it. I felt gorgeous and my hair was barely damaged. Mel’s prep and post hair routines really helped keep my hair intact since I wear it curly 99% of the time.

    • @jasminelambert3753
      @jasminelambert3753 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You might just have a different texture/porosity that likes different things. Truly everyone’s hair is different and reacts so differently to each product. You might be using too little moisture or too little protein or the opposite. You kinda just have to experiment and try different things to see what works. Personally, I think doing the styling techniques is more important for me than the products I use. Especially the ribbon curl technique to get really good clumps. Using your other hand to keep tension on each section while you brush it is crucial and really helps to clump!

    • @bellaseabean559
      @bellaseabean559 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would take a few pieces of shed hair and pull on them. (Best tested on the healthier strands of her.) I think if the strands stretch instead of breaking, you'll need protein. You could also try a bonder (like Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve or the Olaplex one). PS - Henna is also considered a protein treatment. Over time it may loosen your curl pattern, unless you add something like amla into the mixture.

    Hey! I’m a new subscriber. My question, do you believe that you can attain healthy hair using box dye colors?
    Financially, it is better for me to do my own hair. Until I can buy higher prices dyes, I’ve used dark and lovely for the first time on my natural dark brown hair. I went jet black.
    Want your personal and professional view.
    Thanks love!!

    • @tammie3194

      Black and lovely is (in my opinion) not that good for hair dyes.
      I would recommend Revlon Colorsilk hair dyes because my grandma still has her curls even after years of dying her hair with it. Just that it’s thin because of age and negligence. The No ammonia options are better.

      if you want to cover grey you'll need permanent colour and 10Volume developer
      if you're able to, going into a salon and getting some strategically placed highlights can help to camouflage the silver strands and incorporate them into dimension.
