Stay tuned and if you like videos like this, make sure to give this video a thumbs-up, subscribe to my channel and share this video with a friend that has coloured curly hair!

    THANK YOU so much for telling people to rinse the conditioner out all the way. My mom was a cosmetologist and this practice greatly disturbs her as it can also leave a heavy film on your hair in addition to causing issues with allergies and discomfort. There are things put online for the curl community that I run by her or even myself having had so many chemistry classes and knowing when something is a bad idea. This is why I love what you and Amanda put out. Only sound advice. My thanks!

      @miriamlevy2514 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@vickil3829 leave ins are meant to be in your hair, so they’re probably lighter and dissolve into your hair to prevent build up. Keeping in actual conditioner that’s meant to be washed out can probably cause build up since rinse-out conditoner would be heavier than a leave in because of the limited time it has in your hair. This is just my guess but I think there’s a reason leave-in’s are leave-in’s and rinse-out’s are rinse-out’s.

    I got my hair colored and cut at Ulta and had a great experience! It was the first time I felt comfortable in a salon and felt like I could actually talk with the stylist and tell her what I am looking for and what my past experiences have been. She listened and was friendly. She did a great job coloring my hair and it didn’t burn it irritate at all. She washed my hair thoroughly and did a great job with the cut and was not scissor happy like others can be. My hair cut looks the healthiest it has ever looked. It was the best experience I ever had in a salon.
    She also showed me around the store and recommended some products that I haven’t gotten yet because $$$ but she was the most hospitable stylist I have ever had and glad that I found her!!!
    I have 3b/c coarse high density low porosity hair and what has worked fir me since the hair cut is L’Oréal Paris Ever Curl shampoo & conditioner with As I am leave-in conditioner and As I am Curling Jelly.

      @@ManesByMell I saw Kashia again at Ulta last week to get my hair done for my birthday and she fully styled my hair and used techniques I would have never thought of for my hair that I love. I never thought I could use mousse on my hair but she used Design Essentials mousse with Pattern curl crème in my hair using the shingling method with a paddle brush and it worked wonders on my hair. She is the only one that has been able to style my hair curly leaving it the most defined I have ever seen with soft curls that lasted me a full week without having to do anything to it. I usually use gel exclusively in my hair. I never thought the mousse and curl crème could provide enough hold but it DID without leaving my hair crunchy. She is AMAZING and I need to keep her as my stylist. The price was very reasonable too for color, wash, cut, style for my thick hair for 4 people. She has so transformed my hair for the better! Best hairstylist I have ever had!

    I just have to say thank you for all that you share. I was once a big follower of CO washing, and also, not rinsing the product out completely. I went on like this for years! And as time went on I could not figure out WHY my curls were just dying! I figured it was because I was getting older and my curl pattern was changing. Until I started watching your channel. You were so adamant about not only shampooing your hair but even doing it twice at times!! So, if figured I had nothing to lose so I tried it. And I even started rinsing out the conditioner all the way. Also, I stopped using scorching heat and globs of spray on my non-curly days. I can't believe I have all my curls back and them some!! Now to go get a bonnet so I don't keep crushing my new-found curls while sleeping. A big thanks from New Jersey, and yes, we do have Dairy Queen out this way.

    The tips and techniques I've learned from you combined with their products along with Trader Joe's Coconut Hair Serum have me feeling beautiful and happiest I've ever been with my hair...the testimony is I've worn it down more in the last year than most of the 60 years I've been alive!!

Like I like Brad Mondo but he don’t know about curls so I went looking and so grateful I found you. Giving me the curly education I never got in my childhood AND giving me the Raven Symone vibes I’ve been missing since my childhood and That’s So Raven ended!!! So tysm for that as well lol.. I have mad respect for how real you are and how educated and the effort you put into your videos for all of us and I want you to know it does not go unappreciated. My hair is much more like your sister’s except mine is pretty thin now from all the damage it has endured from heat to bleach and yah I’m on my curly hair self love journey now and your videos have been very helpful! I was wondering tho if you have any advice for those of us with curls who do things like swim almost daily (either in the ocean or in a pool) so I need to wash my hair much more than is ideal for those of us with curly hair? Especially like a okay shampoo thats not going to hurt my hair to use daily? Tysm! ❤

As for the NYM curl talk this purple line didn’t really work for me as I’m a low porosity too, but definitely the pink line ‘flower and mango’ combing cream is worth try, it’s been my go to for years, light on hair smells good and doesn’t dry out or leave the hair weird after few days, I only find it in ulta though, but that’s my all time jam Also I mostly use it alone without gels, hope you get a chance to try it 🤍

    Oh gooood seeing Ulta having that many brands and variety makes me wanna cry. I live in a small country in Europe and there's nothing like that, I get all my products from online stores and I get them most of the times more expensive due to shipping etc and I wait a looong time to arrive. Also I can't even get anything I want, some products are impossible to travel here. So moral of the story, if you can buy from Ulta or a similar store consider yourself super lucky😭😅

    I live in South Africa and don't often get international brands featured on TH-cam, so I was thrilled to see Kirsten Ess at my local drug store in November last year. I got the clarifying shampoo and rich moisture conditioner and a few others not featured here. Having used the clarifying shampoo and moisture conditioner off and on now for 6 months I can conclusively say I LOVE it for my fine curly hair. I only wash once a week and refresh during the week so I reach for the clarifying shampoo after a particularly heavy product week for a squeaky clean. Then hydrate and detangle with the rich conditioner. It's a great combo!

NYM has too of my favorite masques when I don’t have time for a longer treatment. Love the Matcha Green Tea & Wild Apple Blosssom. Smells lovely and does not trigger allergies. So easy to detangle after using. Also their Curl Talk Deep Conditioning masque works well. For the price point it’s a win.

I go to a curl specialist here in town for cuts. I also take my daughter to Ulta for her hair washes. She’s autistic and has sensory processing disorder so washing at home is really challenging. Her stylist is awesome-she is kind and patient with my daughter-and takes care of that wavy hair. :)

    Also I’ve been using Ouidad products for over 20 years now. They were the first ones I had access to and other brands were not marketed towards my hair type. They are excellent there are many of their original products that are still very good. The Vita Curl and Moisture lock line seem to always be great. Every couple of years they come out with a new line or angle but it’s never quite as good. You should try those if you can get your hands on them.

    I love the not your mothers line. The leave in and gel work super good on my 3b/c curls. Definitely have to add oil after though. I find the gel a tad dry!

    I LOVE the NYM Hard Hold Gel but there are tips other TH-camrs (thankfully) warned me of first. With that one, use less than your usual amount & mix with a little water first. Rub hands together a little as if you were trying to lather...only not that long. It's definitely crispy, but softer once crunched. It also doesn't dry my hair, but then my hair isn't dry to start. I should say that my hair's nowhere near your curl level either! There's a "learning curve" with that product, but if you can find your sweet spot, it's sweet indeed! Thanks for reviewing the Kristin Ess(?)...been wanting to try. 🙂

      I did the same with Ecoslay Jello Shot. Talk about a thick gel! It’s in a tub and it is nearly solid! But a small amount in very wet hands on very wet hair gives me great curls for up to 8 days. It dried crunchy but scrunched out just fine.

    The Kristin Ess clarifying shampoo does a great job of clarifying for me and doesn’t dry out my hair as bad as others BUT I stopped using it because something about it was mildly irritating my scalp. The Curl conditioner and shampoo from the same line are some of my favorite though, super hydrating without being too heavy. I’d absolutely love to see you review the rest of the curl line and get your thoughts on those products!

    The Ouidad climate gel that you got in a travel size is FIRE. Don’t let the liquidy consistency fool you, I love it for when I travel to humid places. It gives flexible hold and definition and shine without feeling heavy. It’s great! I wanna try that clarifying Kristen Ess shampoo after seeing that packaging 👀 whoever picked it did great 😅

It just doesn’t have enough moisture for my hair. Long, dry, medium porosity type 3 hair. 🫤 Love when you do drug store videos.

    My daughters and I would get our hair done at our Ulta Salon. We used them from the time my youngest was started High School, I had two stylist who created stunning prom styles and beautiful color. It has been 2 years since I stopped using them as my favorite stylist went out on her own and we followed. She is the best with color, cut and style. Ulta Salon is great. Never high pressure sales and true care for their clients.

    • @ManesByMell

My hair will last for days without having to touch up. If I use other products my hair looks good for one day and then it's in a bun until my next wash day.

    It is definitely a hit or miss with NYM's curl talk line for me and I agree with you on the gel, BUT I have been using their shampoos and conditioners in the naturals line and my hair LOVES those products. Especially the Royal Honey & Kalahari Desert Melon Repair & Nourish conditioner/leave-in, they are my staple products and I love how affordable they are. It would be great to see you try them out and hear your opinion on NYM naturals if you're able and haven't made a video already! :)
