you are the only stylist on youtube that understands that there are people that can't get a professional cut; whether it's because they don't have the money or have just had bad experiences with too many hairdressers. love your channel ❤
This is me. I have the same kind of volume and shape as Mell. Watching her vids has definitely helped a lot!
Or simply don't have stylists that know how to deal with curly hair
@@kikima258 exactly
For me it's not the matter of prices but it's a matter of hairdressers not having much experience with cutting curly hair. So my hair is 3a/3b, and the curls can last up to 5 days without a need of restyling however every time I go for a cut, my hair goes crazy for a few days, ends up looking wavy, dry, brittle and what not, until it goes back to it's curl pattern. I mean, hairdressers here are amazing, it's a very high quality studio however, people here, if they have curly hair, they just want it straightend so hairstylists can't really get much experience on what to do for curly hair to make it look amazing when actually worn curly.
@@kikima258 my case too
"Trim your hair between 6-8 weeks!"
Me after 2 years of not having my hair trimmed:
Imnotarobotiswear Ijustwannasubtopewdiepie me after not ever having my hair professionally trimmed only choppy cuts from my mom 😭
Sameee
Imnotarobotiswear Ijustwannasubtopewdiepie 14 years for me😭
@@amerie.k6 for me it's been like 6 years I tried to trim my hair on my own but not with hair cutting. The last time I got my haircut with hair cutting shears was like 6 years ago
me only trimming my hair because of quarantine:
Who’s back here during quarantine?
leslie281 fr😔
brooo ive already cut off so many chunks underneath
@@eerieeyee SAME.
👉🏽👈🏽
meeeeeee
I forgot to tell you, write a book. Like, instantly!
Thank you Mel! I don't have curly hair but I watch your videos to help my 12 year old daughter. She started rocking her curls about 4 months ago and last week she told me : "mom I love my hair now". What she considered her weakness has now become her strength, and for me that is priceless. Thank you again Mel ♥️
you're a great mom
Thank you for this! I went for a “trim” last week and from 4 fingers off that we agreed somehow I end up with triple the length off. I HATE when stylists do that
This is why I don't let anyone cut my hair anymore
That's why I learned years ago to trim my own hair!! I love her videos and thank God she had the heart to make and share this video because half these so-called "pros" don't listen to their customers because they do what "they" think it's best vs giving the "paying" customer what they want!!😒
@@AAAReview same
As someone with trichotillomania, I have serious salon anxiety. I just trimmed my hair using your method, and it came out great! Thank you for this video!
4:42 Is where she starts cutting hair. * To Self *
Thanks!😇
Thank youuuuu.been searching for this comment !
The Lord really gave you a teaching gift girl.. not everybody can explain things this easily and thoroughly
You’re one of the only hairstylists that cares about length! I feel like most hair dressers despise long hair lol
they look for any excuse to shorten/thin it I swear!
I know I’m 2 years late, but my when I was younger my hairstylist used to make me blow dry my own hair and wouldn’t style it because of how long it was lol and then convinced me to cut it off (I was like 16 so I didn’t know how to stand up for myself at the time lol)
if that's all you care about then don't get a haircut. I have a cosmetology license and this drives me crazy... get conditioner and treatments and just let it grow...
why do y'all get a haircut if you didn't want a haircut lol
@@papillon2135why are you getting a haircut if you didn't want it shorter?
I cut my hair for the very first time using your tutorial. Watched it 10 times. My hair came out nice.
*I haven't had my hair cut/trimmed in 6 years. It's now down past my butt. I went to get a spiral perm and the 19 year old stylist fried my hair off. I had 1ft cut off after that. This is why it's been 6 years, that I haven't been back to a beauty salon.*
@Mell, thank you so much for your videos. My wife wanted me to cut her hair and I have NEVER done anything like this. She has incredibly curly hair and I was a nervous wreck but your videos gave me the confidence to get it done and it came out great! Thank you!
My mom has cut my hair my whole life, but a couple weeks ago I was craving some bangs, so I cut some long side bangs and trimmed the other side of my hair to add some layers. It was actually so fun 😂
I have course, porous, 2B-2C hair (thanks to binge watching your videos I now know that) and I have used several products and techniques I’ve learned from you and my hair has changed in just 2 weeks. I don’t even recognize my hair! I can’t believe everything i thought I knew! My hair is not frizzy, it’s lifted and soft and more wavy and just the besttttt! You are saving hairs all over the world!! Thank you!!!
Hey! could you do a video like this only explaining how you cut/trim your seester’s hair? i love the shape and have a similar length and curl type to her. thank you! x
Saima Hussain omg literally was going to ask this hahah
YES!!!!💞💞💞
hahahahaha hopefully this means we’ll get a video on it 🙃
Yes Please
Agreed to this! 💗
This video has made me re-evaluate whether I actually NEED to have my hair cut at my next colour appointment, because I automatically get it done, whether it's needed or not.
My hair is healthier than it's been for a long time, is still shaped nicely, no split ends, so I'm thinking not.
Thanks Mell, I always come away from your vids feeling like I've learned something.
I have NEEDED this video. I moved, which meant losing my hairdresser, and while I was waiting to find someone, I wanted to trim my own hair so bad but was too scared.
I'm bored with my cut. Can you share about the kinds of cuts? Any what cut works best for textures and face shapes. Thank you!! Love all your videos!
I’m seeing this very late but in case you don’t know she just made one
Literally me!!!
"There are people that prefer to trim they're own hair for multiple reason"
Quarentine: Yeah sure
Mell, would you please, please, PLEASE do a video on thin fine curly hair?? Like best hairstyles and how to style? Thanks for all the videos they help so much, love your channel 💞
Ermagerd I just want like a live stream of you cutting at the salon. Lemme see all the cuts on all the curl types! I'm addicted to your actual knowledge, not the curly girl cult.
I agree! I have learned so much about HAIR not just the curly girl process.
She really knows the things! It's fascinating. And fun to learn!
I always thought all the hair grows at the same time I never knew that different parts of the hair grew differently than other parts. I always wondered about that thank you for clearing that up
The right side of my head grows faster than the left so I always have to cut more on the right side 😬
Yeah my hair seems to naturally grow in layers. It's annoying I'm trying to grow it all evenly
@@derrickjenniferwatkins1394 Lmaoo I thought I just had the worst hairstylists 😂😂
I have never found anyone that could cut my hair without ruining it.... Thank you for enabling us blessed curly haired folk with the knowledge to maintain our manes 😁
I was LITERALLY JUST about to trim my own hair so thank you!!
Just wow. You made that look so easy and I know it's not. Your hair looks so much healthier and bouncier now!
Love, love, love these tips! I’m trying to grow out my hair since the “big chop”. Can’t wait to use these next time I need a trim.
I cut my hair today, then styled and properly defused and my hair has never looked better. Your videos are so helpful, thank you. 😍
That up-close shot of your curls was 🔥 Soft looking, shiny, perfect spirals, looking real good. I’m inspired...I’m going to trim my ends tonight! ✂️ ✂️ ✂️
Perfect timing! I’m long over due and don’t trust anyone here with my hair :)
I LOVE Textured Tuesdays! Thank you Mell for yet another great and informative video! You're the best!
Hi!!! I just recently followed your tutorial and it brought my curls back thank you so much girl! 💕 most informative and clean base and to touch up when dry allowed me to start fresh!
Could you explain a bit more about “stacking” and having layers with curly hair? I tried to explain to my hair stylist how I want more layers like yours and she still didn’t do it because she said my hair is long. She advice me that when styling my hair I could just crunch up my roots to give it that effect but still doesn’t look right.
munchy8427 - The struggle is real.. I never know if I’m being told ‘no’ for a legit reason or if I am just not communicating exactly what I want (cos I’m technical term oblivious) 🤷🏻♀️
@@kimberlyg5887 Truly is a struggle! I think if Mell was to respond, she would say to look for a different hairstylist which I will. I just hope i find the right one! And low key hoping she will make a video of curly hair layers!
Any hairdresser has to know the layers, get another one or do it yourself if she does not understand what you are meaning. I would not trust it😅
I’m a hairdresser myself and since i’m only wearing my hair curly i cut it myself. Lack of good hairdressers that can properly cut curls. I do it in the same way as here🤘🏼
Your hairstylist probably doesn’t know how to cut layers into long hair. I’m a hairstylist. I know.
You need to get another stylist. Although during these trying times with the pandemic some stylist are not taking new clients. Check out Mells video on teaching her Seester how to cut her own hair with unicorn method.
Thank you!!!!! I had a horrible headache this week for 2 days. Then I realized how thick my hair had grown. I did a careful trim over a few days near the one spot the headache was and boy does my head feel better! I’m still planning on going in for a professional trim - but with no extra time this week your video was an answer to prayer! Thank You!!!
Happy to see you cut your hair when it's wet. Been seeing a lot of curly videos saying to do it when it's dry, but that's super tough with my wavy hair!
Omg thank you! I don’t want to go a salon anymore, my experience was bad.
My hair was almost to the hip. I was growing it for almost 2 years. I went to a salon to get layers and the lady cut my hair mid way to my torso, around where my bra is. I wanted to cryyy!! She said I looked better that way. And she left one side longer than the other one. Not to also mention that she brush the hell out of my curls while they were DRY!! Now I have spilt ends and I hate them. I’m too scared to go to another salon, but I’m glad I found this video!!
Thank You Mell! Ive been trimming my own hair since forever but this technique was by far the fastest, easiest and turned out really even:)
Happy texture Tuesday! I might just give this a try this weekend. My vacation starts in just a little over a month and it would be great to start it with fresh, happy hair. I love your videos. I have never been so committed to watching anyone else's videos the way I am to yours. Thank you for being you. Always remember, you are a strong, beautiful woman. Receive all the love from all of us, your loyal followers. ❤
Literally you just saved me from chopping all my hair off 😫🙏🏼. I have been so upset with my hair. So thank you for shedding some light ❤️. You're a goddess!
texture tuesdays are my favorite days!! ilysm mell!
You are literally the best resource I go to when it come to my curly hair please never stop!!!
This is the video that got me cutting my own hair. I got lazy and forgot the details so I’m back. Thanks a lot it’s been so nice getting to cut my hair the way I want with skills I learned from you
Thanks for the awesome tips! I cut my own hair, so this is super helpful! I love how you said not to get too sizzor happy, I've totally done that in the past, and subsequently am now growing my hair out lol. I mean, it was probably for the best because my hair is way healthier now. Love you Mel!!!
Mell, I just wanted to say... I'm quite new to your channel, but I just really love your energy. I don't know what it is, but you're video's give me the feeling of being in a nice, safe, warm, calming little corner. Maybe it's your voice, or your sense of humour, or your way of speaking, but you make me feel happy! Lovely!
This girl saved my days. I have a gorgeous hair now, meaning a very happy me. I love a happy me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mel, thank you! The 1st cut I did used your pony tail technique. Today, I purchased new scissors and couldn't wait to try using these instructions. It will be wonderful to go back and get my hair cut by my stylist, but until then my curls are poppin'! Thank you! Oh, I said that. Well I am grateful.
I fell down a hole of watching people with curly hair give themselves haircuts and came across your channel and I knew right away that i trusted mell and I've been binging her videos for DAYS now
You are doing SUCH a great job of explaining this to us. Thank you!
You are the only one I trust, and I’m going to brave it because of COVID quarantines. My curls never looked so good since I found your channel! Your advice is gospel!
I wish UA-cam had a " love " button❤! Love you @manesbymell! I live for your curly hair videos! No one has helped me as much as you have!❤
wow this video was a lifesaver!! first time cutting my curly hair on my own and it came out great, thank you!!
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much! I just gave myself a trim using your video and my hair looks better than ever! And I saved the $100 I would have spent at the salon!
Best haircut I've ever done on myself after following your suggestions and tips. I like to care for my own hair, as I haven't had great experiences at a salon. Thank you. Love your content; they're so helpful.
I loved your video! You seem so fun and genuine! Thank you!
Love you Mel, your channel and energy. You inspiring, genuine woman.
Love a good self care moment! Thank you for sharing your tips ❤️
I wanna cry just by seeing the title alone 😭 thank you so much Mell!!! ❤
My mane Mel is back!! ❤
So excited to use these tips! I'm dying for a trim, but I don't trust anyone with my hair anymore 😅 thank you for your channel, it's changed my hair life 💗🙌
This video was so much more fun than the last one (the last trimming one) and deffinatly a sign that I too need a little trim.
This is the video that I was needing today, good timing. Thank you so much😍!
You are my hero, sis. This video helped me out tremendously! Thank you 🙏
THANK YOU I CANT FIND A STYLIST TO DO MY HAIR GOOD! So I cut it at home. Love you and your hair
Did it turn out good? I’m kinda scared that I will mess It up 😂
I'm so fascinated by the different methods out there. Another stylist suggests twisting loosely and trimming at an angle feathering down. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you so much for this video Mell! I have been dry cutting my hair for a while (and I do exactly like you were, go me!) but I'm still nervous to go in when it's wet. I might give it a try now 💜
Mel. If you ever come to NY please let us know, and I’ll meet you even on a park so that you can cut my hair.
Yes me too! Except I live in Oregon but same I would meet you anywhere here for you to do my curls! Your amazing!
Me three please #NYC
or dc 🙏🙏!! the capital
Mell, this is why we love you.
You are the best, Mell. My haircut turned out great! Going to do this from now on!
LOVED this!! I may consider trying to trim my own next wash. Your hair is getting so long!!
Gorgeous as always! Love you Mell, thank you!
Love it! My middle layer wasn't cut short enough in the back so it was kinda flat, and just kept getting flatter as my hair grew out. I dry cut that layer a tiny bit shorter, maybe an inch, and it looks like it's rounding out a little better now. Thanks for telling me to take a step back from the scissors because I was getting too into it lol. No telling what I would've done!
Brb gonna trim my hair 😅 love you, girl! Hope you’re starting to feel better!
Just finished my trim, lost no length just dead ends and stress 😭
Just bought the brush you recommended (both the Denman and the wet brush for untangling) and the verb products!! Thanks for the recommendations!! Hope you are feeling better! ❤️
Love all your videos! Take care! I have learned so much from you! Thank you for helping us embrace our curls! I also purchased the verb curl collection and it is amazing!!
Thank you for this Mel, I hope you are taking good care of yourself and feel better. A lot of love from Montreal 🥰🥰🥰
found you yesterday so i can cut my hair properly, watched a whole bunch of your videos. I love you
Best most helpful video ever ! Some hair stylists don’t even know how to cut textured hair ! that’s why i do it myself lol i’m in cosmetology school and they don’t even make us learn how to cut textured hair.. no wonder why no one knows how!
I❤TextureTuesday! Your hair is so gorgeous, Mel! Thanks for all you do😘
I stress cut my hair yesterday and tweaked it some today. I cut quite a bit out. Thankfully I didn't mess it up. It actually looks fine to me. Glad I watched this video for some tips.
Thank you for this video Mel! I really appreciate all the info you Share! 😊❤️
Best haircut video ever. Thank you so much. I've been dying for an actual tutorial of a great haircut. Thank you
Really perfect timing!! I have been searching for past couple days on YT for at home trim! 👍👍
Ironically I just trimmed my hair by myself today before watching this 😂 I think i did all of those things you mentioned but thank you for making this 😅

Really enjoyed this is you look like my girl Tori Kelly 💓

Perfect advice at the end!! wait a day, wash again...have a look...tweak when dry again. I've been cutting my hair for the past 4 years. :)
I have been cutting my own hair for years now becuase I have YET to find a hair stylist who is able to listen to be when I say "Just a TRIM please". Lol. Thanks Mell for the tips. I'll be adding a few of these to my hair cutting routine! Glad to see you feeling a bit better I hope.
