      Funny you say that. My current hairstylist doesn’t have curls - in fact, she has a short straight bob - and has done wonders for my very curly hair over the last seven years. She’s super knowledgeable and has been cutting curls for 30 years. Like so many things, I think it really depends on the person.

    Gurl! At least what happened to me didn’t happen to you! A few years ago- I don’t know which Olaplex product she used- but I was 1 in 6 billion that this ever happened to- it cross bound my hairs! I literally had a brick of melted hair on one side of my head. I had to go to a hair restoration place in Texas- I live in Wyoming. It was something. I’m so glad yours was renewed. They said if it would have been half an inch closer to my scalp… I would have had to have surgery…. Whaaaat? But praise God! I did have bra strap length locks and the creative stylist cut it in an asymmetrical style.
    Have a most amazing day! Be so blessed💕

    You’re licensed, so I’d say try it a second time in 2 months yourself, the way you would do style your hair. Also try it on someone else, how about someone with multiple curl patterns and a little damage? I’m always on the lookout for multiple curl pattern videos because I’m literally straight underneath by day 2, and I have 2bc3a all over the rest of my hair (which also falls a bit on day 2+). Idk if it’s damage from my clothing, but it never used to do that and my curls are 100% hormonal and I’m aging towards the lady change! I’m so glad to know Olaplex is coming out with curly products and they didn’t rush. Which products are silicone free in the line?

    I think you are an amazing hair stylist and artist (which I believe a great hair stylist has to be). You have vision. You know what end results you want for yourself or for your client, and you know how to achieve those results. This is (in my humble opinion) a rare quality. This also makes you the best person to give the treatment both to yourself and others. Personally, when I have a bad experience at a salon, or anywhere, I don't go back. If you do go back, you should go back as a stylist showing them what you would do. You have made the very best of your situation. Your hair looks amazing and looks the best when you style it. I think you are better qualified to do it than anyone else. I honestly believe if someone gave you a random product and said it's supposed to do this, you would probably figure out how to make it do that on anyone's head and/or inform them if it the product could never do that on their head. Not everyone has that. That's just my two cents. Also, thank you for all your videos! I love watching them and gaining valuable insight! Thank you 🙂

    Thanks for sharing your journey, Mell! I am super guilty of not speaking up when in the stylist chair, and then being miserable when I get home. Finger coiling never works for me. It makes my curls go straight. My curls like to be free to curl as they please (or not curl if they’re not in the mood).

    I did you Pigtail cut, and it came out perfect. Your instructions were so on point.
    I started the cut behind my ears instead of in front of my ears. I haven't been to a Hair Salon in years because I went to a New York City salon when I was in my 20s and the guy told me I have just a haircut for you.
    After primping and putting me under some heat lamps he cut an AFRO! Round afro cuts are beautiful but I could have done that myself.
    Some salons get cut happy .

    1) I love the vertical/portrait orientation for this video. It's mostly just one subject (when there are two people, it is one person standing behind the other... so essentially one person). If it were you and Amanda, landscape is probably more appropriate. But I really like this.
    2) A lot of the responsibility rests with the stylist. She was well into styling before she asked you how you usually style your hair. That should have been a huge part of the discussion during the consultation, as well as asking you about your product use routine. Most people wouldn't use a curl cream on my wavy/curly hair, but I happen to know that I need it. So the first time she met me, my current stylist used a curl cream.
    Olaplex needs to look at their training process when it comes to styling. I get that there a probably a lot of people going there who have damaged hair, but there are probably also a lot of people with healthy hair who are obsessed with having the healthiest hair possible.
    3) Sure, I'd do the Olaplex process if they did it for free for me too. I'm guessing that's not going to happen, and you didn't mention price.
    4) I think you should re-do the service to give us a sense of whether this was just the particular stylist or a trend of their people not listening to and learning from clients. Do it in 4 weeks, and use it on other people in the meantime. If they want you to redo it sooner, you're a busy woman, I'm sure it will take at least 2-3 weeks for your schedules to mesh.

    I'm sad it's not available for home use though. Like you and others have said, it's frustrating when you go to a stylist and they do not listen to you, or treat your hair like it's "generic" and one size fits all.

    My hair has never looked great leaving a salon - at best it looks very similar to yours in this video as you were leaving the salon. I've just accepted it as reality. Its frustrating because there is such a narrow pool of salon stylists who know how to deal with curly hair and even then I've only gotten moderately good results. I drive 1 hour each way to see a curly hair stylist and still, I only know if it's a good visit after I get home and rewash and style my hair. But I'm still driving that hour b/c its better than going to someone who, knows I have curly hair, but busts out the dryer with no diffuser and proceeds to fluff and brush my hair while full force drying it.

    THANK YOU FOR SHARING, MELL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Thank you so much for this! I really want to try this out, but I’ll cancel my appt in Ulta as they don’t even offer curly hair cuts, or any curly service I’m afraid I’m gonna be crushed by the results.
    Hopefully the curly specialist in my town will offer it soon
    And I hope you can try it with other people and provide us with the results 🎉

    Just a point of clarification: you said, more than once I believe, that the treatment is supposed to last "up to 15 washes."
    Then you said, more than once I believe, that that would be about 15 washes...or two weeks (or some such-- not sure if it was 2-3 weeks or what).
    But "up to 15 washes means NO MORE THAN 15 washes. That is, could be 15, could be 10, could be zero, technically. It's a waffle phrase brands use because they know we'll take to mean "approximately 15' when 15 is the UPPER limit, and they are giving us NO lower limit.

    Sounds like we've all had problems with stylists not doing our hair the way we like! Does anyone have any suggestions for bringing this up in the chair in a non-confrontational way? I'm plenty assertive the rest of the time, but I don't want to insult a professional who's otherwise skilled at their profession. (Currently growing out my hair a bit, so I'll be able to put this off for a few months. 😏)

    • @gasparinha
      @gasparinha 16 днів тому

      Suggestion to my own post (thanks to a therapy prompt LOL): talk about this stuff at the *beginning* of the appointment, before anything has been done. Explain your idiosyncrasies - curl patterns (like the 2B over 3A at the back of my head), usual products, and preferred styling routines - and be very specific! Since you've already explained your needs, maybe mid-styling, we could ask, "Since I usually [styling technique], will this give a similar result?" Also: I liked how my last stylist cut my hair, but not how he styled it, and the last few times I left with it still damp "so it would air-dry" - which it did, but I could duck into the ladies' room, add a little water, and correct the loose finger-curling that fought with my pattern.

    I usually have the stylist straighten my hair. I have learned to do that so I can see the cut better, AND so that I don't leave hating my curls. Stylists never put enough product in my hair, or the right products (and I really adore my hair stylist whom I go to for just cuts x 15 years) I can wear my hair straight (ish)- aka give it different, bigger curls...lol., but my stylist can get my hair straight ------- like that, and it's kind fun to have straight hair one and awhile. The salon uses Aveda products, and not once has she ever used the curly products in my hair.

    Definitely wondering if the stylist just messed up your curls and not the treatment. I could tell right before you added the gel how much better your hair looked and knew you'd get a great result. I'm 2C/3A, and my stylist has gorgeous curls like yours (and her hair is red, too, so so gorgeous), but my hair comes out kinda blah every time she styles it. I get much more defined waves and curls when I do it myself the next day (and I always wash and style the next day). She's too gentle, and I'm like, no, you need to *scrunch* it and then pixie diffuse right up to the scalp! None of this gently cupping my hair in the diffuser and moving it in the general direction of my scalp.
    On that note, I would love to see how your hair does over the next couple of weeks as well as how it does on others' hair.
    And yes, *cream before gel* is so key for me as a high-porosity-haired person!

    I was waiting for you to review this product. The 15 washes claim got me very interested, but the finger coiling is not doing it for me. I was worried it could have a relaxant effect on the hair if it's not previously damaged but seems like that's a non-concern.

      Hi lovely!!! Congrats!! I just reached my one year anniversary since cutting my hair short. If youre looking to grow it out long, be super gentle and low maintenance with the styles so you dont over work the hair, this will help prevent mechanical damage and split ends so it can grow long and strong. Dont overdo it on treatments that your hair doesn't need! Protein treatments are only recommended for damaged hair. Keep it simple, keep your scalp healthy and oil your ends to maintain length!

    Way to turn it around! Does anyone know if there is a difference in using a clothing steamer vs facial steamer? I’ve seen ppl on Reddit say they just use a clothing steamer and that’s all I have so that’s what I’ve been using, but I’m thinking a facial one might be better? Less heat so can get closer & leave it in one place longer?

    Hey Mell! Recently I had gotten a hair cut/trim. I have always said that I have Shirley Temple curls (3a-b). I communicated my styling techniques and everything to my girl, and when she was done my hair was very flat and wavy. Grant it she did a fanastic job on the layers and trim, but she had told me that my hair is more wavy than curly. Like you, I waited the next morning to redo my hair and I had different results. She had used Amika products whereas I used Curlsmith. The question is was she right? Do products truly make a difference?
