"Straight hair that's always frizzy" should be the first indicator that your hair's not as straight as you thought
An eye opener! First time i heard this and i’m like DUHHHHH, it explains everything. 😂
I had wavy hair that’s always frizzy, later found out that it’s curly hair
"And I thought my hair was the only thing straight 😢"
"Well you ain't that straight" in joe exotic voice
Where was this when I desperately needed this!!!!???
As a black women, I would always look at white women with “straight” hair and I can see the potential waves. Time for white women to experience the natural hair journey.
Edit: I didn’t know my comment would resonate with so many people and it makes me so happy!
Donye Keesee i always had curly/wavy hair as a kid and I thought my hair just changed and I ended up with thick, dry and course hair. Oooh little did I know I was ruining my hair with all that bleach and heat. Just started this journey. So excited!!!
Lorena Margiano so excited for you!!! New hair new you ❤️
yesss my hair has beautiful curl/waves when it's short (shoulder length), but as it gets longer, it straightens out from the weight and age of the its ends. i've learned to keep it oiled, use product (mousse works really well), and let it dry in a loosely tied scarf. it looks so alive these days
Yes
I finally embraced mine a year ago and it honestly changes my relation with my hair so much. I love it now and see that it was my fault that I didn't before, I wasted so many years mistreating it.
Now we are a team and I get a lot of compliments, especially from people who have known me for many years and see how my hair has changed - saw my cousin again recently after a long time, she asked me if I had curled my hair. She couldn't believe this was just my same natural hair but treated right.
I would love to see a next day refresher for the wavy hair.
🙏🏻
I don’t think it will work
Yes please 😻
I use diluted conditioner in a spray bottle.
It's meh to alright. I swear I haven't found anything store bought that works as well though🤷♀️
water in a spray bottle. Make it wet-ish, massage it in, let dry naturally.
When the perm I got still didn't fall out after 10+ years I eventually realized I probably had naturally wavy hair and didn't know it...
Lol
When i tried to perm my hair it didn't even last for 48 hours 😂😂😂😂
That happened to me too! I thought my perm was still hanging on then my hairdresser told me it was my own curl. Mind blown lol.
Wait me too. I got it done around 6th grade and my hair stayed wavy after that. I assume it naturally changed around puberty and I had no idea because of the perm.
@@Asdfghjkl-pb1ir I’ve never had perm but as soon as I hit puberty my hair became curly/wavy.
in hispanic culture/society, people often think there's such thing as "frizzy" textured hair. nope, that's just curly/wavy/kinky hair you have no idea how to handle
same with India!! North Indians tend to be whiter with straight glossy hair and South Indians who tend to be more ethnic are just told to brush our curls out and have no idea how to deal with it :(
@@popi5476 with Indonesia too!! I hate seeing people with CLEARLY curly/wavy hair uses sulfate shampoo and no conditioner and then proceeds to complain about how frizzy their hair🤦
Yeaahh I live in Venezuela and every single girl that can't "tame" their texture goes through a keratin straightening treatment in their teens and it becomes a monthly thing for _years_ , I have 2c/3a hair and when I was around 13/14 years old I thought that only straight hair was nice and I did a straightening treatment.
I'm 18 now and I've been transitioning for over a year and I'm getting there but it's been a hard year of people asking me "why don't you brush your hair? Your hair is a mess" or when I finally got some ringlets back people started touching them or running their hands through because 'it was sticking up' or "it looks frizzy, you forgot to brush it" or "you should do a keratin treatment".
People here think that you either have straight hair or super curly hair (like a 3b to 3c or type 4) and loose curls don't exist, so you have to get rid of them with chemicals so that you look 'presentable'
@@martacastillo6272 That's really interesting! When I was in elementary school, I had such little knowledge and such horrible preconceptions of textured hair, that when it started to change in puberty, i thought my hair was going to come out kinky. At the time I hated kinky hair, but it was only because whenever I saw the peer black girl's hair, it was always overly processed with a relaxer, or their scalps were raw from braids, or they had excessive dandruff, etc. This meant that my only experience with kinky hair were horrible examples(my town and school were predominantly white also). At around 10, my hair started to change from puberty, and I literally thought that my hair was going to come out like theirs (even though the probability of that was impossible from my heritage and race) and I was so angry. My mother didn't like it either, so she had it chemically processed hair for about 4 years, until I got so tired of the roller sets and unmanageability, that I started doing my research of what to do with it. When I say my mind was opened, I'm saying I was completely blown away by the beauty of kinky and curly hair. I started transitioning, not caring what my hair would look like, and my hair wasnt even close to type 4 hair, it was 3b, showing the extent of my misconceptions I prevously had about hair in general. When I was transitioning, it was difficult to style because of the roots, and the women in my family would never give me support. My mother wouldn't buy me products to see what works, she would urge me to relax it, etc. but guess who has amazing hair now :)
@@lizdiaz3951 So happy for you!
Can I just say I truly appreciate the fact that you don't "shade" wavy or loose curls, ever. There are so many people that discredit looser curls and just make it seem less than. They'll say "I'm having a bad hair day, it's just wavy not curly" .... looser curls get this negative connotation associated with it but you, a curly queen, doesn't ever shade any type of hair. Ever.
It doesn't go unnoticed how much thought and research you put into your videos. Thank you for including all curl types 💛
Christina Vargas but a lot of people don't get to pick between straight and curly therefore they are stuck with what they got but all these girls gotta do is wake up and wash it for it to be straight and if your hair can be straight and "curly" then it's not curly it's wavy also on another note some of the product they use are MADE for black women not for white peoples "curls" and it's sad because I see that privilege I can go to any store and get shampoo and conditioner for a white person but it is so hard to find good products for black. People
just bc the ppl who say it’s just wavy not curly say that, doesn’t mean that it’s discrediting anything. that’s just your own (and whoever else feels that way) personal insecurities because people are allowed to have a preference without having to feel bad about it or obligated to please you (or others) by saying what you want to hear. sad truth you’ll have to accept in life. it’s like saying “ugh, my skin is bumpy and not smooth”. societal standards made smooth skin better (you can have bad skin from genetics and not bc of underlying issues so who’s to say it’s worse than smooth skin?) but saying that doesn’t discredit ppl with acne. but it probably bothers them. like hearing people gush over curls and not waves bothers you.
Agreed! I feel like there's always someone in a wavy girl's comment section that loses it when the word "curl" is mentioned.
@@celina8331 Lmao this whole paragraph just to be passive agressive 😂
@@amoryhasafford7585 those products were made for people with curly hair not just for black people. I'm not black I'm puerto rican with really curly hair, and Cantu is personally the best product I have used for my hair. No where on the bottle does it say "for black people" its says curl cream. Mel (the one with the blonde tight curls) isn't black. Shes almost full Italian. Are you saying shes not allowed to use these products because shes not black even though she has super tight curls.
Please do a part 2 where we see what their hair looks like after a proper curly cut and after a few cycles of a curly routine. Thumbs up if you agree so Mell can see!
A nice way of asking for likes lol
Yaas! 🥰💙

Sorry I think it’s 2 much work 😂
Won’t try it
This is like hair's version of coming out
Hahahaha omggggg
Underrated comment 😂😂
Omfg yas
Mom, dad, I’m wavy
Omg it can be like
Straight hair = straight (duh)
Wavy hair = Bisexual / Pansexual
Curly hair = Gay / Lesbian
Kinky/coily hair = ???
Help me with the last one🙏
OMG YOUR TELLING ME THAT I ACTUALLY MOST LIKELY HAVE WAVY HAIR AND I JUST THOUGHT MY HAIR WAS FRIZZY
SERIOUSLY, like I just graduated high school... I could of spent all that time with pretty wavy hair instead of trying to comb it down every time I saw it in mirror thinking my hair was uncontrollable frizz !!
mother Cheese I felt this. Luckly I found this video so I can change my routine
Samee!! I see a lot of vids like these and now I'm like: hold on.... My frizzy hair is probably wavy?! What the hell!
Sierra Bernardi I like yours too😏
Yes sis, get started on the journey!! Ive had frizzy poofy straight hair all my life and now i have beautiful loose curls
I never knew that people with my hair type were supposed to have specific hair care routines until I started working at a residential facility. A few of the girls there with really curly hair had to explain to me that I need to take care of my hair too and they helped me pick out products. My hair literally has never looked better.
I have wavy hair but I never knew I needed a routine for it until a video popped up on it and since then I've ben watching them and trying routines but my hair was frizzy so I asked my friend with curly hair and she said I have straight hair and now idk what to do😭
I felt like I was at a sleepover watching this lmao
If EVERY curly/wavy/coily girl would embrace their naturalness then we would be seeing so many beautiful hair types..
yep, but it's something I've been struggling with
I have wavy hair but it always seems to be flat in the ends but more wavy on the top it’s so hard to figure out what to use and a lot of people don’t do videos on wavy hair 😕
The point is that we dont know our hair types most of us dont
@@Leelee-gp9fj yess mine too except in the top it’s great and the bottom it’s great but in the middle it’s almost straight
@@Leelee-gp9fj look up SwavyCurlyCourtney. She has 2a/2b hair, I've been using her videos to guide me through transitioning into my natural wave.
Ok I want a 30 day update with their hairs!!!! This is how my hair started and my hair is significantly a tighter curl now. It takes time to find your way to do your hair but it’s worth it!
Yes please. How did you figure out you didn't have straight hair?
Do you have a routine to fight off the frizz pls?
Aggie Orozco what kind of products do you use I have wavy hair but I’ve always treated it like straight hair because I didn’t know what to use but I want to bring out my waves
Sam Hamel I’d like to know aswell. If it works I’d commit these products but I wanna see if a routine like this actually works for me before getting all the expensive stuff
Wavy Hair Steps
1 - wash hair
(Fanola Restructuring Shampoo and Mask)
2 - put in a light weight oil
(Bumble & Bumble Invisble Oil Spray or Fanola 10 in 1 Spray)
3 - put in styling cream from mids to ends
(Brigeo curl charisma creme or Cantu moisturizing curl creme)
4 - brush products through
5 - wet hair
6 - flip hair over
7 - brush hair upside down & clump hair into sections
8 - scrunch hair & finger foil any sections that are off
9 - set curls with gel
(Brigeo Curl Charisma Gel or Ouidad Advanced Anti-frizz Gel)
10 - plop (scrunch hair in towel) and set for 10 mins
11 - dry hair with a diffuser (hover dry roots & scrunch dry ends for max curl)
Thank you for writing out the steps!😊
I have “straight frizzy hair” and I got some of the products mentioned in this video today! My mom has a lot of natural curl in her hair so I’m hoping I do too! Wish me luck!
How's the progress
Second this, how’s it going??! :)
The products in this video are quite heavy for wavy hair. You should try using a lighter leave in and gel or mousse
no because both of my parents have super curly hair but also super fine/thin so mine is very thin as well so its flat but like frizzy? and when its wet its wavy :(
finally a more wavy type! Would like to see more wavy type routines.
Yes please
i love that they coordinate their outfits
Always 😝
I've been on a natural journey for over a year. My natural curls used to look like Mel's beautiful corkscrew with lots of volume. I followed the curly girl method for a year then decided to incorporate other products I used when my curls used to flourish. I'm starting to see my defines corkscrews in the front and nape of my neck and looser curls everywhere else. I deep contrition once a week but my hair still feels dry and most of my curls look like a letter S. I ended up cutting my hair thinking it was damage and I see some improvement but not much. Any suggestions?
Christina Vescio have you tried watching Mell’s finger coiling video?
It could also have something to do with genetics or age, when I was in high school my curls were tighter now they are looser. My hair got thicker after I had kids.
@@aimeemendoza2578 Thank you. Yes I saw that video I also used to finger coil all the time. Now some just won't coil. I did just have a baby, I also have to take an iron supplements. I don't want to say it's age just yet because 2 years ago my hair was all coily and full. I wasn't following the CG method then either. I dyed my hair and flat ironed it I also moved states. It's colder here now where I live all this I believe contributed to my change. I guess time will tell.
Mell just changed my hairs LIFE with this video. I don’t think I would’ve worn my hair down again without straightening it if I hadn’t found this because I was so sick of my frizzy hair that didn’t dry straight but didn’t dry into “nice” waves either. I’ve literally had my hair in a bun this whole pandemic. I just tried this method for the first time and the result is nice ass beachy waves and no frizz. You have unlocked my hair’s potential, bless ya heart!
I would love to see an update on the girls hair, like if they continue this journey and what products they like.
Update: th-cam.com/video/_IhZsFc3L9w/w-d-xo.html
this is the most realistic “didn’t know” curl video i’ve seen, my hair looks like theirs and after watching this i feel so much more motivated to learn about my waves
Today my brother told me that my 2b wavy hair is "fake" beacuse if I didn't scrunch it and plop it my hair would be straight. I get same comments from other girls in school.Some people can be so rude,but I ignore them and I keep loving my waves.😆♡
I will personally deal with all haters and put them in their place. Your hair has texture and that’s it! PERIOD! Keep on rocking it 😍💖
My dad told me the same thing!
If you do the same process to straight hair no waves would form, that's how you can tell the difference.
Don’t listen to people like that I got it worse they thought it was a weave because someone of my “skin color” cannot have 3c curly hair👩🏻🦱(I’m mixed btw but light skinned)
【Carzia】 same but i am fully white and i have 3b-3c
When I tell you I have watched TOO MANY videos on waves/curls and this is the first one that I felt actually got me feeling confident in working my wave!
Until I was in my 50s my hair was straight as a board, couldn’t hold a perm or curl at all. Then it started to change and developed the most beautiful waves. My hair finally has body and I’ve totally embraced it.
When I first started my mom didn’t believe that my hair was anything other than straight because it looked straight wet. Where was this video thennnn!!! Love this!
Where there is FRIZZ, there is CURL! Texture is so unique ❤️❤️❤️
My hair still looks straight when is wet, and then it dries and BAAAM!!
Clau Panquecito that’s what I’ve been sayingggg!!
Clau Panquecito I think it’s cuz the water weighs it down so obviously you aren’t going to see your natural hair texture when it’s wet.. you gotta wait till it’s dry... :)
Natalie Havry that’s what I told my mom but nooooooo. According to her I’m “lying ab my texture.” We just don’t talk ab hair anymore😂
Me trying to convince myself I have secret beach waves and not hair as straight as a ruler
👁💧👄💧👁
Same. But a girl can dream
Oof. Big mood.
Mayyybe, jsut maybe an apple cider vinegar rinse would change it.
Same.. my hair is like a bloody plank.. i currently have a pixie cut but i’ve also had long hair.. i’ve watched video’s of japanese straight perms before.. my hair is basically like that without the perm 😂😂 as i’ve had long hair with bangs before that looked like it had been made that way by a japanese expensive ass barber.. but no.. it was just me airdrying my hair

You just changed my life omg. I stumbled on this video looking for videos on what to do with my daughter’s hair which is very obviously curly. I was like, wait could it be? Nah... But out of curiosity I bought some curl cream and busted out the diffuser from the back of the drawer and holy 💩 my hair is wavy. I’m still processing. Y’all I’m almost 40 and had zero clue my hair is not just kind of frizzy.
wow this makes me feel better about my hair! my hair looks exactly like theirs before and after the added products. i always felt like i was just convincing myself that i have wavy hair after adding products, but this video shows me i just have a different wave type. i knew my frizzy hair meant something more was going on!!
It's so cute how the left cousin looks like the left sister, and the right cousin looks like the right sister!
That’s what I was just thinking!
Yes, the genetics are sta-rong in that family!
Ikr! That was exactly what I was thinking!
I’m not the only one who thought this!!!
Righttttt
I was only led to the curl community when I heard the sentence "where there is frizz there are curls"
Spread this sentence and I think a lot of people will realize their true hair texture
The two girls: "stares through the camera and into my soul"
Me: stay out of there omg
😂😂😂
Hello Mell and Amanda, I'm coming back 2 years later after watching this video (took me so long to find it again haha). This video is absolutely a GAME CHANGER for me and my bestie. We both had "frizzy" hair and tried millions of ways to get it smooth/ straight. Each time we went to a salone, we were always told that our hair was super frizzy and difficult and the hair dresser would always recommend us to get it straightened (I guess natural wavy/ curly hair is not that common in Asian people so probably the hair dressers themselves hadn't dealt with that many wavy girls before). But thanks to you, now we are celebrating our wavy hair. We found our natural wavy hair compliments our features way better than chemically straightened hair! XOXO
When I don’t brush my hair after showering I definitely see wavy hair. People were always confused w my hair because some days my hair would be wavy or straight. I’m going to try to take care of my hair now, this video motivated me and inspired me. Thank you guys :,)♥️♥️
Same!
@@TamarMebonia could be the wavy shampoo is too heavy for your hair type
@@TamarMebonia what was the name of this magical shampoo? Need to try!
Sameeee
My time as a 2c has come 😎
I couldn't say it better 😂😂😂
Same😂 I needed this video today
In South Italy almost every girl I know thinks she has frizzy hair, when really we are all wavy and curly
ok but also some of y’all do in fact just have straight hair do not walk around with a head full of grease trying 2 convince urself it’s wavy take it from me
lol yesssss
well for me even if I do a full set of pin curls, they will fall out in 2 hours lol
It's actually far less likely the all these people have straight hair. Majority of people have some type of curl in their hair.
My hair is straight at the stop but waves towards the bottom and its so annoying cause i end up with greasy scalp
@@zamiaramirez1390 maybe try focusing your products at the end of your hair
Me realizing I’ve been doing my hair wrong this whole time & missing out on pretty wavy hair 👁👄👁
Sameeee.
Same
Right! Same and I'm about to get my permed ;-; I wish I knew sooner so I can try to get my hair like this
Is this why my hair is frizzy ;-; when it’s wet it’s wavy but it dries and it’s pretty straight
Katie Chen yep ! My hair would always be that way. When my hair is dry it’s so frizzy but when wet it’s curly/wavy. I just thought my hair was weird 🙃
How can I be adopted into the family and become a cousin?! :) Also, as a wavy girl following this channel -- would love to see more wavy videos (and the wavy hair cut video!)
APPLICATIONS COMING SOON :P
Yes please, also a wavy girl here,with shoulder length hair.
Nicole I second this notion
I third lol
I would love to know how to cut my 2b/c hair.
I feel so excited for this next chapter of my life! I never felt I fell into the straight hair category, but felt silly saying it was any sort of wavy. I feel so encouraged. Thank you ladies!
Thank you for this video! I tried the method you showed in this post yesterday and for the first time ever, I can see defined waves and curls. I had to use the products I had at hand rather than what you recommended, but I'm still uber impressed by the results. It makes so much sense to brush one's hair while wet to make the waves detangle and also get defined. I've been trying TCG method for ages and spent so much time and money trying to get it right and failing miserably. I kind of gave up and decided I just had awful hair. But with the results I got with what you showed plus the not-to-great products I had at home, I think I can pick something good and actually see good results.
I also want to add that my hair doesn't just look better, it also feels right... and that's a very new sensation for me.
This was so much fun to film!!! This opened my eyes to my curly hair journey that I never knew I had. I really recommend watching this video and sharing it with anyone who has curly hair!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys were brilliant. And such pretty models too. Well done. Love your hairs.
Thanks so much for agreeing to participate...truly inspiring!
I hope you guys do your hair like this more often. I know it can be a lot of work lol but it looks so beautiful on the two of you.
After three years, are you still following this routine? Has your hair gotten more wavy on its own?
In high school I didn't know what my curly hair texture was because my mom didn't know how to do my hair and it was always straightened every month. I'm surprised it never got damaged. I went through the struggle trying to learn how to do my hair curly and what products to use.
You aren’t alone!! I think we ALL struggled growing up because there just wasn’t many products or help out there. The next gen will have it so easy!
@@ManesByMell Ikr. I can't wait for my son to be here and to teach him all about his beautiful hair curls.
I think you all might have to charge me for a therapy session if I start getting into the struggle to find acceptance with my mother, who wanted so badly for my hair to be straighter.
My mum was always brushing dry my 3c 4a hair. Ouch!
At one point I was given a boys haircut because my hair was extremely curly and frizzy because my parents constantly dry brushed it and always told me to wash my hair again, it didnt look "clean" I was very unhappy with my hair back then 😅
I have wavy hair but I would never follow a routine like this because I hate the stiff look of my waves with all these products 😔 I think the crunchy look is really beautiful on curly hair but not so much on wavy hair. I just want soft bouncy waves but obviously my hair loses its pattern at the end of the damn day lol
Why not just try a lighter mousse?
Try scrunching out the crunch or using something like a curl/wave cream. I’ve been using Miss Jessie’s Multi Cultural Curls for a while now and it doesn’t leave my hair all crunchy. (A little product goes a long way btw)
same
DITTO!
Only comb it after shower 🚿, use a leave in conditioner (not much) comb it to distribute the product, and let it dry. That I do and is soft and dance with the Wind, I only use my hands to set it in place every day, and obviously with the pass of the days, my natural oils from my scalp change it a bit but only in the base. If I by chance decide to comb it, after that I use my hands to twist the whole tail to the left and then to the right and that's it, it starts to get its natural curves again.
Thanks mell I've been binging your videos in hopes of learning to do my curly but very fine hair after 48 years of having it. I now have a bit more confidence doing my hair.
I overthink a lot and I would always think maybe I’m just faking my waves because my hair is barely wavy when wet but this video really confirmed that indeed my hair is wavy. Also my mom would say things like: adding product/ scrunching it gives me waves, my hair is really just straight and she hates my wavy hair :/
I'm sure your waves are beautiful
I’m sure your waves are real! Mostly whenever you have straight hair it won’t curl no matter how much you scrunch. :)
@Ranica James not always. If your individual hairs are very fine with a tight cuticle they can hang straighter when wet due to the weight. My hair is decidedly curly when dry, but looks more wavy when wet… and that's with NO holding products, no scrunching, just my hair doing what it does naturally. 🙂
I have very straight hair, no frizz, no matter if I brush my hair or not, let air dry, blow dry, put products in or not. I tried several of these scrunching routines, because I thought maybe I can get waves that way. The result is always the same: frizz and my hair looks like the left girls before-picture.
If your hair after scrunching looks anything like their hair after scrunching, then, yes, you definitely have waves already in your hair.
That is an amazing transformation. I'm a long haired man and I never realised I had curly hair until recently. I've always just washed my hair with a bar of soap and combed it after rubbing a towel over my head. I just thought my hair was straight and a bit messy. I wasted a lot of time trying to comb it straight. Anyhow, I'm going to start doing all your hair tips. I'm even going to start wearing a silk bonnet to bed. I feel a bit silly, but it will be interesting to see the difference.
You have long hair and use a bar of soap on it? 😱 You don’t use shampoo and conditioner?!
@@ccap3211 men aren't always as invested in their hair health and beauty like women are.
"If it cleans things, it can be used for anything "
Tahlia Waihape tell me about it! My bf uses baby shampoo to wash his hair and his face in the shower. 🤦♀️
@@ccap3211 Yeah I found a product called beard soap which made my beard feel great, so I learnt how to make my own soap at home. Then I used it to wash all of me for the past 6 years (I've only been growing my hair for 3 years). Sometimes I would do a rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar after washing my hair. That seems to help. I believe the acid helps to close the hair cells after the soap has opened them up.
I found the soap wasn't too bad so long as I don't put much coconut oil into it. Coconut oil makes a very bubbly soap which strips too much oil from the hair.
Anyhow, I switched to using shampoo and conditioner a couple of weeks ago. I'm using Maui Moisture because that was the only curly approved products I could find in the local supermarket. I didn't like it much the first time I used it. My hair went all weird and fluffy. And I could smell the perfume in my hair for the next few days. But I tried again almost a week later with the shampoo and the hair mask. That seemed to work better. Then I have used the conditioner by itself once since then. I'm using the purple bottles.
I've ordered some Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus on Amazon and they arrived a couple of days ago. I'm looking forward to trying them next time my hair needs washing.
@@ccap3211 hahahahaha😂 my bf uses shampoo to wash his face 🤣😐
This is the most helpful tutorial (on wavy hair) that I’ve seen - covering all the basics I should know but don’t!
They brought to light their natural beauty. Well done!
This is probably one of the most helpful how to style wavy hair videos I have ever watched! Thanks Mell and Amanda!
Oh I am sooo honoured to hear that, we’re happy to help 💖💖💖
I agree! Gonna try hovering! I need more volume!
Oh man I'm so glad I wasn't the only one treating my wavy hair like straight hair.
Same. The ends of my hair always looked a little curly and I'm gonna try this and see what happens.
Very beautiful work, Mel and Amanda! ❤ what you two do for the curlies out here that have been frustrated with our hair for years not knowing what the heck to do with it. Resorting to straightening it because of a lack of knowing what else to do with the unruly mop. Thank you so so much.❤❤
I seriously looove you both. Your guidance has helped my hair look fabulous! It can be improved but it's WAY better than what it used to be.
i found at 25 that my hair was curly (something like Amanda hair) and all this years i thought that i have bad hair day every day...
after i found out that im curly and i embraced it people from my past were shocked and in the start didn't believed that its my natural hair
Same found out when I was 28!
Same, but my daughter was luckier and found out at 12.
Agree on the bad hair day-feel. Glad I found this video. 😃
@@sonyaopwaystagon5387 My hair at 12 just was like CURLY TIME and even with heat and stuff it just got curly
I would LOVE to see the difference a curly cut would make in this beautiful ladies! That way we can see the progress!
This is the EXACT video I needed to see! About 4 years ago I stopped washing my hair everyday and stopped using products and actually started straightening my curly hair. Well now my hair is barely even considered wavy now. I've been trying to get my curls back and have tried a bunch of different curly products but I see with this video it's the technique that goes along that's kinda most important. Thank you ladies! I have hope to have my curly hair again
I'm here because of KTY. Just letting y'all know. 😁
I'm so happy that u did a wavy hair video. As a girl with 2b hair, this was awesome to see. More wavy hair videos plz♥️
YAASSSSS please post more wavy hair content! I'd love one on recommended wavy haircuts. Thanks ladies!
Omg i have just started using Amanda and Tiff's routine and my frizzy wavy hair is starting to look so much better!!! The curls are looking so much more sleeker and shiny! I have shared this video with so many of my curly haired besties and wow the difference a change of products can make! Also im loving the smell of the Fanola
Mell, your videos have turned my hair world sideways in just a few days. I wasn't sure if my hair had wave potential, but I scrunched my old conditioner in the shower and suddenly my hair was wavy! Now I'm on day 3 of my wavy hair journey and very excited. I used to have to sit for my friends with a curling iron for 3 hours and a whole bottle of hairspray just for a few hours of curls. Using your methods and the right products, my hair is taking right to it! Thanks so much for your dedication and posting so many tutorials
Didn't think the seesters looked that similar until we met Tiffany. She looks exactly like both of you!
Yes ! Tiffany and Amanda look like twins!
My hair is between Amanda's and Tiffanys
Jenny Rose SAAAME
I just started plopping and it literally has changed the way my wave holds so much! I would love to see a haircut video for wavies as well!!
Going to prder the product tomorrow and give this a go. Looks flipping fantastic!
yesss hair cutting videos!! I use to scrunch my hair like this for waves and I completely stopped but it's time to bring it backkk babyy
I’ve always known I had natural waves, but with my mom and seesters all having pin straight locks I never knew a single thing about making them look good and not frizzy. It really hurt how often girls in middle school would bring irons to school to straighten my hair for me. I found your channel a few weeks ago and after 23 years of mistreatment, my curls are finally starting to shine through. Thank you so much for everything you do, Mell!
4:15 I love the confidence
Amanda vs Mell
Curly Enthusiast vs Professional Stylist
Who won u asked? Let us put it this way both Amber and Tiffany look as though they just stepped out of a salon.
I know the focus of this video is wavy hair.
But I feel so proud of Amanda because she is one of us. Not professionally trained but trying to embrace her curly journey. And the fact that she was able to successfully style and help someone else feels like a big curly achievement.
And Mell when I saw how u celebrated at the end made me smile. I could tell seeing how well she did Tiffany's hair really meant a lot to you.
I’m 45, and a new subscriber. I have never seen how curly my hair actually is. I didn’t even know it was more than slightly wavy until recently. From my teens, I have coloured, brushed, blow dried, towel dried…basically did everything wrong. After searching my type, I’ve found I’m probably a high density 3A curl with high porosity. I found this channel a couple of days ago, and I’ve been watching as many videos, new and old, as I can. Mell, I love your personality, your knowledge of all things hair, and how you explain it so it’s easy for all to understand. Like the video on choosing the right cut/style for your face shape. That included way more useful information, that was understandable, than I’ve come across in one place.
Wow the transformations are crazy!!! I'm excited for many more people to discover their natural hair. So interesting to see on wavy hair.
My hair was SOOO POOFY and FRIZZY and I saw a girl on TH-cam who had the same hair and found out it was actually curly, I researched and treated my hair as curly hair..... ITS CURLY!!!
Thats amazing. Curly hair is amazing imo, i have type 4 hair which is curly/coily and i love it.
Wait wait wait....how do yall grow up all your lives and not know what texture your hair is? Like is this even a real thing?
@@okikeure7422 my dad is half zimbabwean and half english my mum swiss...so my parents didnt know my texture either. So they treated my hair since they started growing like european hair. It happens 🤷♀️😂
@Cassie Viola well that's sad tbh. But when y'all get out if the shower don't you see your curly hair? Is it not just right there?
@@okikeure7422 no my hair was straight/frizzy for years... it was only when i crunched my hair and used curly hair product. They became wavy now they curly. 😂😂🤷♀️
I have curly hair in the front of my face, (especially my hairline) and then wavy hair on the rest of my head🙃 where are my multi - textured girls at?
Curly at the front, wavy at the back (except for a couple of fat ringlets at the nape of my neck). We are the texture version of a mullet 🤣
Straight in the front, wavy in the back and curly around my ears 😅
@Celina Hatton 🤣🤣
Straight on the top then wavy in the mid section and on the bottom curly
Waves in the front, curls in the back top layers, almost flat on the bottom back layers (no matter what styling product I use)🙋♀️
I CANNOT wait to try this!!! 😍
All yall are drop dead GORGEOUS omg
I was trying cgm and was about to quit because I was so frustrated. This is the most straight forward and detailed tutorial for wavies that I've seen. Thank you so much!!!!
Same. I was getting so discouraged but this helps me to feel a lot better!
SAME I’m so glad I found Mell!
SHE DANCED!!! AMANDA DANCED 😲😲😲😲
WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER
Thanks! This is so needed.
I absolutely love how fun but also how informational the video was. Thank you for sharing, going to go try on my hair now
When I was a kid, my hair was straight, shiny and soft. Then when I was a teenager it became extremely frizzy, tangled and dry, I hated it. I had normal looking straight hairs, but then there were extremely thick hairs that were twisted like a wire/dna. Anything I put it would literally leave a dent in it. Like hair ties , pins or braids would leave their shape in it. It looked terrible. If I let it dry without brushing it, it would be wavy. And now I am an adult, I started drinking a lot of water, using more expensive shampoo, argan oil, no heat, and henna and my hair is barely frizzy anymore. Like it's a bit poofy after I wash it, but by the next day it becomes soft and silky. And whatever I put in it, braids, ties or pins, they don't leave their shape in it anymore. So now I am freakin' confused....
Wait that sounds just like my situation but I haven't tried henna. What does it do?
What did henna do to you and how did it help you?
@@izziecanizzy it dyes ur hair
Henna coats your cuticle with color. If you're hair follicle is rough it can smooth it.
One thing to make sure: Hair cannot change texture. if someone is born with straight hair, it will never get curly. Maybe you used the wrong products or colored it? When I colored my hair it got really frizzy and all this stuff, but now all the colour is out and it's nice again.
I love seeing results of girls who didn’t know they had wavy hair/curly hair !!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 good job seesters!! You guys are amazing !! 🙌🏼
Please do more with your wavy cousins!!! I love watching you! I have wavy hair and your demonstration with your cousins was very helpful!!
Thank you this is the best Ive seen for wavy hair. I have done a similar process in the past and my waves looked amazing.
I have 3b hairrrrrr and so many stupid people are like “it’s not that curly”😤
that’s really weird? are you sure you’re 3b then*
Your hair is super pretty 😭
Yesss girl!!! I have 3b hair as well and remember being in school when a girl with 4b hair told me that my hair is wavy, not curly. Because the coils aren't as tight as hers, she considered my hair "not curly". 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@xxxmelissatacionxxx Look at her profile pic i'm sure she has 3b if that'S her real hair
They’re just jealous gal 💅🏼😂
My mom has wavy/curly hair. My dad has straight. I always thought I had straight hair but it never ever looked right. My hair has always been so intensely frizzy from root to end. I never have bleached my hair, I rarely heat style (like once every few months rare), I only have dyed it a few times in my life (with colors close to my brunette hair). I sleep on a satin pillowcase, I even use a microfiber towel. I did masks I did everything and the only time my hair ever looked okay was when I did overnight braids to wavy my hair. Which always stayed in my hair for 2 or more days until I washed again. Since finding this channel to help my coworker enhance her natural biracial curls I came across this in my notifications. I got some products I tried it last night and I almost cried. Little to no frizz and my hair has texture. I still have a lot of learning to do but I wanted to say thank you mel for this.
Thank you for all of your extremely informative, fun videos. I finally am on the path of loving my hair! 💕
LadyGamerNerd huh meanwhile both my parents have curly/wavy hair and mine is a plank no matter what i try..
Thank you so much! My hair leans more to wavy so when I try your techniques well... flop! Now I know better how and when apply my products!
This reminds me of how I felt whenever I first figured out how to style my hair 😂 I always have had curly hair, but my mother has mostly straight hair and my dad had short hair all growing up so I never had anyone to teach me how to care for my hair. It’s awesome to see other people finding out how to care for their hair!
Amanda and Tiffany look so much a-like !
Your energy makes me soo happy! I literally watch it just to get your vibes! You give off happy/joyful vibes!!!!
👏this👏 changed👏my👏life
I knew I had the potential but didn't know what to do. I'd even had hairstylists say I had no wave. It's very wavy y'aaaall. (followed the Amanda/Tiff routine)
I am obsessed with this channel! Thank you!! 😁
Yay! Thank you ladies! I’m glad I wasn’t too far off for my wavy hair! I started in January to figure out I had wavy hair and not straight (I’m 32 and never knew! lol), and my hair looked very similar to theirs, I am now much more into a 2c/3a spirals ! So weird and awesome how my hair health and look has changed! Thanks in a very big part to your channel! 😍
This is exactly what my hair did when I tried their methods during quarantine haha your instructions are perfect! I love seeing my hair go to its full potential ❤️❤️❤️
thank you! cant wait to try :)
I want your hair! The curly is adorable!
I’m transitioning right now, and my hair looks like a mess of waves and sometimes curls📉📈
It gets better sis!! Hang in there!
me too it’s really annoying
same!! like my hair on top is completely straight from heat damage but underneath its super curly,, like pick a lane
Alexandra M. I sure hope so, thank you💕
Butterscotch thing is, I thought my hair was straight but damaged or dry since it’s always frizzy.
turns out it’s not and I just never knew that🙂💔
Me: They all look like sisters...
Her: "Believe it or not: we are related..."
Me: O H
The ultimate squad is a squad of sisters tbh
You could have told me Amanda and the girl whose hair she was doing were sisters, and i would have believed you.
This hair looks crunchy. The product is too heavy 4 their hair type..
i have wavy hair and it’s so hard to find products that aren’t too heavy on my hair, my hair either turns out crunchy or greasy looking 😴
@@lucyblewer3514 yes i have the same problem. I keep an eye out for anything that look like it might work 4 me.. Currently i use the Cantu cream i apply a little while my hair is wet i twist and allow to air dry n also when it's try i apply a small amount again to help with frizz. Usually helps.
@@Jarquin90 I do have the cantu cream, maybe I'm applying too much, so I might give it another go!
@@lucyblewer3514 i split my hair down the middle and add about a dime size on both sides and comb it through. Lmk how it goes
@Caramel Cupcake but crunch looks stiff sometimes 😞 i want that bounce!
OMG!!! Thank you for this video! I just tried these techniques with the products I had on hand. Apparently, I have curls not waves!!! I was so blown away by the results! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This is even more confirmation that I have wavy hair. I’m definitely going to try this routine! Thanks!
LOL and here I was trying to figure out how to control the frizz. I've literally been Google searching for the best products and wondering if I needed to use a straightener. Thank you for this, you may have changed my life.
Also, thanks for all the giggles, I needed them!!
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. You ladies rock!!!
Ok, I'm trying this routine next time! Thank you Mell! I absolutely love all your videos!
