@@ManesByMell Thank you for this video and all your content. I really appreciate it especially because there aren't many people that understand curls and seek to educate others. Looking forward to the curl cut video! Honestly I am here for any texture Tuesday. Thank you Mel and Amanda!
I love how Mell takes a topic thats seemingly been done so many times before, but then goes way more in depth and adds more information than anyone else in the community
She literally barley adds anything, face shapes can be very distracting, and hair should be matched with your whole body structure in general. for example short hair for someone with a big stracture can look very unbalanced and make the body look even bigger, instead Full long hair can make it look better or even minimize it, it’s not always about the face shape.
@@mio9682I thought I was the only one who noticed. I’ve noticed this about myself. I’m a heavy set woman, and I noticed that I look better with longer length hair than the shorter, shoulder-length hair. 😅
I don't know how confused my hair must be because it takes generally 9-11 months before my fast growing very fine hair starts to split. But at the same time it has an extremely easy life with minimal abuse 😅 But now it's been thirteen months and I should really get it cut 😬
Finally! Someone who actually knows what she is talking about when it comes to hairstyle shapes. I’ve been a hairdresser for 30 years and have never seen a video that has correct information when it comes to face shapes and the most flattering hairstyles for those face shapes. Great job! Everyone listen to this and you will never have to wonder what shape haircut to get again. Also, straight long hair around the face, without layers, is very aging, once your skin begins to sag.
My long face is definitely one of my biggest insecurities but I’m thinking of getting one of those rounder hairstyles, they seem more manageable. Update: i did it. I love it.
Oblong and Diamond is actually the best face shape(mine is heart shape and I'm kind of getting angry of my widow's peak sometimes lol). I hope you embrace your face shape someday.
Right?! I’m a hairstylist with daring fashion sense *and* this hair type and oval/oblong. Indecisiveness is the most difficult hair struggle for me. 😂 That and taking time to do my own hair. I can help everyone else but me!
This video is perfect! It’s complete! As a hair stylist for 12 years I can’t think of anything I would change or add! Great job Mell! And even as a stylist it’s still helpful for me to watch this to confirm my own knowledge and hear how another professional explains it. Not a lot of time to chat in the salon.
I'm not even done this video yet but can I just say that I LOVE that you mention personality in this video. There are so many hair/face shape videos out there and I love that you mention personality as one of the deciding factors of whether we want to enhance or play down certain facial features. You make it a personal choice and not JUST what we should have based on physical features :) LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT.
This is ALL I’VE EVER WANTED from a consultation. I’ve had a different stylist every cut for the last 8 years probably. I was so annoyed I was only going yearly. Until I found your at home pigtail cut! I can go maybe 3 months before I need a trim. Thank u
As a haircut video addict and DIY haircutter, I can assure you guys this is the best and most comprehensive video I have ever watched. Best part is it doesnt dictate what you can/cannot do or what you should enhance/hide on your face. 👏 Thank you for taking time to mention many elements when determining a haircut.🤍
Thank you 😅 I was not about to skip forward through another 30 minute video I am so tired of looking for good advice 😂 I hate that youtube removed the likes and dislikes count 😭
I would love to see a video about different curly hair cuts. I have the traditional long with layers and I would love to see what you recommend I need a change.
I’ve watched several videos like this over the years but this is the most detailed and explained video that actually helps me understand what cut I need!
This was so comprehensive and yet easy to understand! I would add that, for some, it’s also worth considering whether you are a person who absolutely can’t stand to have your hair in your face, so that you either get it cut short enough or leave enough length to be able to put it up when doing activities like exercise or working with your head down.
EXACTLY!! I hate having my hair in my face... and yet, I have bangs. LOL I just find that they add shape and I find that pulling all my hair back and exposing my forehead looks bad on me.
Fellow hairstylist here! This was the most fun & clear way to explain face shapes & cuts! Where was this video when I was in cosmetology school?? 😂 I’m so glad I found your channel, when I was in school the only thing I was taught about curls was how to straighten them 😱😭 I thought denman brushes were only for flat wraps! Thank you for bringing professional knowledge about curls to the public! Love you! 💕
WOW there's so many great tips and useful information in this video!!! Definitely appreciate the work you put into this!! I'm a hairstylist too but it felt like I was learning all of this for the first time 🙈 Thanks Mell! Your videos are always so uplifting and fun to watch 💖💖
oh my goodness that makes me so happy that I could help!! Sometimes we forget the things we learn in school, or the lessons dont exactly "click" in our minds so i totally get it, a refresher is always great! Thanks so much for watching, stay safe and have a happy texture Tuesday! 💖
@@ManesByMell I’m a recent breast cancer patient who had to have intense chemo. Before chemo my hair was very long, fine hair (and I had a ton of it! - it was generally straight although I was told I had wave at the nape of my neck. When it dried on its own it was a little frizzy, was really heavy and generally boring) Weirdly my hair is growing back in with quite a wave (it’s about 1.5 to 2 inches long now) given the massive change in hair type I’m totally flustered on what to do with it and what cut to get as it’s growing. I watched a video by Amanda where she recommended Zero products (I’ve bought them and I’ve started using them) and I’m shocked at how curly/wavy my hair is now when I use all 5 products. I get a starting number of compliments from people on how my hair looks (which is really nice) and I think I have the right products... but my question remains - how do I go from a head of 2 inch curls to something that will suit me in the future? Based on the video I just watched My hair is: fine ( I have a ton of it so I believe it’s also considered thick), I have an oval face and flat profile. I know reaching out to ask about this is a long shot but I’m hoping you can provide suggestions... your loyal fan Deb
@@vanessahogan2837 I used to have the hairdresser color it. Then I went into a Sally’s beauty and the girl there explained how to accomplish a better look for less. I use age beautiful brand permanent hair color, 20 developer, red gold corrector cuz my hair pulls red.
Idk whos disliking this video but honestly they're trash because this video is gold! I've never heard anyone explain hairstyles like this before in so much detail. I appreciate all your hard work and all the information you put out there for us curly headed sisters! One love! Keep up the great work Mell :)
I have watched countless videos on this topic and this one is hands down the best I’ve ever watched. I have an oval-shaped face so every video was always telling me that I could do whatever I wanted but…. Experience had taught me that that wasn’t exactly the case! Now that I have been made aware of the impact of profile and hair density I feel like I finally know what I want/need. Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤️
Hi Mell! Firstly I just want to thank you! Thanks to you I have completely transformed my curls! A year ago I was totally clueless about my hair, always envying my mom's beautiful curls and never wearing my frizzy hair down. Like ever. I have learned so much from you and have grown to not only love my curls but have become a curly consultant for my friends. Thank you! I also have been cutting my own hair from before I started understanding my curls and I would really appreciate some advice on the topic. The top layer of my hair is the curliest, 3A/3B (depending on styling usually). The bottom layer is wavy, it ranges from 2C to 2A! I usually cut the top layer of my hair quite layered and then leave the bottom a more uniform length, sometimes I even cut some of the bottom layers shorter because they have less shrinkage. Basically, every time I cut my hair I have to decide if I'd rather have more of a shape or make the layers of my hair look cohesive. My hair is mid-length but my face is oblong so I don't know if I should grow it out (which might help improve the shape vs hiding-the-straight-looking-part dilemma). I highly doubt you will answer my essay but I would really appreciate your advice on what to do. THANK YOU!!
This is so helpful, thank you! I had no idea fine hair should be trimmed every 4-6 weeks, I'm usually every 3 months! I literally just cut my own hair (for the first time) using your pigtail method video and I'm so pleased with it 😊
I've watched multiple videos about what "whatever" is best for your face shape or what is your face shape and never understood what my was. Now I know I have a long heart shape face. This has been the most helpful of these types of videos that I've watched.
This video is so well done and so professional that I feel a little guilty that I didn't pay to watch it! Thank you for your amazing job! Un saluto dall'Italia a te e Amanda!
17:34 you’re welcome I just cut my hair short and I’m so excited. My hair hasn’t been this short since I was maybe 4 or 5 yrs old. So I’m trying to learn how to take care of it
Yes, a video on the the three specific textures (way, curly, and coily) and what to ask for in a haircut would be very helpful because that is where I struggle the most having texture that is extremely tight waves that want to be curly but I feel a proper haircut would really enhance the curls that are forming!
You might have a combo of two or more types. I think mine is a combo of heart and diamond for example. My recommendation is to compare the prominent features of your face to the types listed in the video and apply those instead of following the tips for just one shape. For my face my cheekbones and my forehead are the most prominent, so to highlight them I used tips from both diamond and heart. Hope this helps!
Sigh. I knew this hair growth journey with my thin, flat, pin straight hair wasn’t really making me feel any better about myself but now that you put in that way I’m seriously considering going for a long bob. Volume is dang near impossible and everything just, hangs there. At least I’m oval so I don’t have to go too fancy but yeah 😢
There are so many things to consider. I love that you talk about all hair and face shape and so on. Thank you. I have very full thick hair, curly, and it is not like your hair at the root. My hair cuts from the very top! I have been trying your tips. Today, it was the curliest. And, yes, I really don't want volume, just curls. Yaya! ❤
This was a very helpful and clear explanation for finding the right haircut according to my face shape! I switched my hairdresser and regret this. I’m going back to her salon for color soon, and will ask her for a haircut consultation while I’m there. I hope she’s not offended 😳. This video was excellent because now I know why a rounded shape is better for my oval face and thick hair and why I hate when I get a triangle haircut.
This came just in time, I am in desperate need of a new haircut, this past week my toddler painted my hair with super glue while I was sleeping. My hair is so messed up now lol
My face shape is very similar yours (a soft diamond shape), and I love emphasizing my cheekbones and narrower chin! 😄 I really love our face shape, and also heart shaped faces. Very feminine, I think! ☺️
no wonder I feel more confident with certain hairstyles over others🤦🏻♀️ It all has to do with my face shape & balance and I got a big forehead😂 thanks Mell, great vid!
The stylist I have ran into ARE SCARED OF MY HAIR! Full curl head. You have helped me fall in love with my hair. I am learning how to take care of and style it! 💕
Yes Mel.. Please more on thin curly cut hair styles. I have a plus sized round face. Turning 60, getting jowls. Fine hair with scalp showing. Hypothyroidism causes hair loss. My curls are a 2-3.. not as curly as yours, though I do have a few coils. I am still new to the curly hair, you have been a huge help. I need help with my hair style. I now get layered with my bangs cut to about the tip of my nose, which when dry and curly goes below my eyebrows - to in my eyes depending on how curly my curls are that day. I brush my thin bangs to the side, with a slight side part. I really need help finding a style that will give me some height since I am 5 foot 2., but I am thin on top front and back. PLEASE HELP ME. Thank you.
I'm stuck somewhere between an oval and square. I quite like the shape but the features themselves are quite un-appealing. So hair can't do anything for them on one hand, on the other I've tried a lot of haircuts and liked them all visually (even thought a lot of them are very unpractical so its bun-appropriate length again)
THANK YOU QUEEN!!! When you and Amanda went live a couple of weeks ago I was posting that shape haircut question literally every two seconds in the question box and the comments hahaha sorry if I bugged you but omg I can’t wait to see it now finally ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This video just helped me make sense of why I also prefer to wear my glasses with certain styles and rock contacts with others. I've chosen my glasses to give me a more balanced face, so a certain hairstyle can throw that balance right back off. Couple that with the fact that certain necklines make my chin look sharper than it is, and I'm starting to understand why I spend so much time pairing a neckline, with a hairstyle, with glasses. 😂
Not me watching this at 3am before my haircut in a few hours 😅😅😅 thank you so much for helping me to understand my hair a little more. At least now I have an idea of what I could pull off 😊
Very very helpful. I desperately need a DIY hair cut for heart shaped face, fine, wavy hair, born blonde that has darkened with age. I'm in my fabulous fifties. 😍 It's been five years since my hair has been cut!😱 I do not use heat all at and wash about every 2 weeks. I went so long because I've been in a medically ordered quarantine. Now I just HAVE to cut it! I can't take it anymore. It's far too long, split and dried out for several inches on the ends. I'm ready to take a foot at least off it, and I have to do it myself. I know there are techniques to do this myself for the style you have so graciously helped me figure out would suit me best and are very easy care for. For me....heart shaped face, thin hair( but a lot of it), and wavy. It is straighter in the front and more wavy in the back. Curly at the very back. Also known as beach wave. So, I'm on the hunt now in your playlist how to best achieve a DIY shoulder length blunt cut with very slight layers at the bottom. I would like a bang to cover a scar on my forehead from fighting ongoing malignant melanoma skin cancer. This is a very visible scar I would like to disguise and not undergo more surgeries for plastic surgery to correct. I will avoid any unnecessary surgeries that aren't life saving. I am NOT licensed stylist, however I have cut hair since I was teenager for neighbor kids of single moms, friends, family, grand children, and my own some. If you have suggestions on videos you you playlist that would suit me, and would be willing to link them in a reply I would incredibly grateful.
I have to say I am so happy I found your channel! I have already seen such a difference in my hair and all I have done is followed your prep, style, finish with products I already have. I definitely would love to see more about curly hair cuts as I need a new look.
I got my first haircut when I was 11 years old and it took forever for them to cut and didn't even look good in the end.... ever since I've been messing around with the lengths at the salon but they never could seem to get my cuts quite right so because of quarantine I just decided "hey, I'll just try it out myself" so now I'm here :') It's grown out quite a bit so I have plenty to work with and mess up as much as I want since in the end I'm thinking of going for a shorter look anyhow. This was really helpful for me! I cut my great-grandma's hair today and it turned out really nice so now that I know that I'm capable of cutting hair it's just a matter of figuring out what I want for my own
Wonderful video! Because I have very thick hair, the hairdressers are unable to cut it in layers and they do not want to admit that they lack the knowledge to do it and do not take into account my face shape and my lifestyle. So I've stopped cutting my long hair at the salon. The last two times I came out with two hairstyles rather than one and many hundreds of kroner poorer. (Living in Sweden) Thanks to UA-cam, I have learned how to cut my own hair the way I want it to look and which hairstyle suits my face shape. I maintain my style by cutting a few millimeters every week. Last time I cut my bangs and I got so much praise from those around me that I decided never to go to a salon again.
This was really really helpful. I now get why some cuts I've gotten just didn't work in the past, based on my face shape at the time, which has changed over time (hello Freshman 15 and COVID 15) I know what to avoid in the future and how to work with what I got. Can never thank you enough. You are my dream hairstylist! And it would be a dream come true to have a consultation with you one day! You are super talented, funny and just all around awesome. Please don't stop doing your vids!
@Joe Castiglione... if the hair is curly, it isn't wavy. wavy and curly hair are dramatically different. if someone has flat roots, and the rest of the hair is curly, it probably means they're doing something wrong in their hair care routine. perhaps stretching out the pattern by brushing or overloading with product, or even just having long, heavy hair that pulls the pattern out I have defined ringlets from my eyes down, but above that it's straight. my hair is definitely not wavy. I've been neglecting haircuts for years, so that's probably why the area around my roots is weighted down and straight
Not gonna lie, I've watched so many videos like this one and none of them come close to the info and the easy structure of this one. I love it ! Good job girl 👏
This has nothing to do with this specific video but I watch your videos ALL the time as you know that transitioning takes a LOT of research. WELL the other day I was shopping with my bf and was pumped to see that Bluemercury sells the brand Seen with the fragrance free options you had reviewed so in excitement I said “Omg they have the brand one of the girls I watch reviewed!” And without skipping a beat he said “Your mane girl Mel?” Just thought y’all would appreciate the fact that you’re now a curly household name ❤️
Wow, Mel, that was one of the most helpful, informative youtube vids I've seen! I'm in the midst of trying to decide on whether to go shorter/change things up for my hair and this gives some clarity and logic to the debate in my head >_
The only hair video that actually had me consider a specific hair cut that I’m sure of. This was so helpful now let me go ruin my hair by cutting it on my own
I have a long narrow face with a small forehead and long chin. My hair is soft and wavy and I think of medium thickness, but it's very dense. My face is soft, not angular or blunt, but its not round.
This is the reason why I HATED going to a hair salon.... they 'assume' and cut your hair... then you go home shower a few days after and have no idea how to deal with that kinda cut... doesnt fit your face or the texture... this is a good video.. thank you!!
Mell! Omg where have you been my whole life?! I have been on the STRUGGLE bus trying to manage my fine wavy hair on my asymmetrical heart shaped face. I finally did a shorter bang cut and realized all the other hairstyles I’ve ever tried (most of them being nightmares) were not for me at all but that took a lot of trial and error throughout the years and a lot of bathroom tears. Thanks so much for making this video as I am on a new journey where I have to leave my tried and true curly hair stylist behind and learn how to cut my own hair as I country hop across South America. Today I am going to try to cut my own hair and due to your tips I’m going to stick with a medium/short style and try to keep my bangs but make them more curtain-y. About to go watch your curtain bangs video now. Wish me luck 😅
First things first, thank you so much for this video :) Second, Would you please make a video about hair colour and cut per age? I mean, If there are certain colours or cuts that might show any wrinkles clearer or hide them better.
Hi Mel. You made that sound so easy. I always struggle to find the right style. I love long hair but I have a long face shape, and lacks volume. I have a fringe that is growing and don’t know what to do with it. Thanks for making this video.
Such a great consultation!!! Mell you are super cute and such fun to watch, and so informative!!! I've been trying to decide what hair cut for over a year, I found your video and I am so much more informed and able to make a decision. So grateful to you. thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us all, and for being such an authentic sweet person!!
Not me sitting with my selfie camera figuring out my face shape.
LOL just don't hold the selfie camera too close to your face, it warps it! Best to look from a safe distance into the camera or a mirror :)

Mel: " you can't get away with cutting your hair once a year."
Me: only cutting my hair once a year, rethinking all my life choices 😭
Me too, the last time I got my hair cut was in 2019
I'm a twice a year gal. Usually before Christmas and then again late summer.
Because of covid only once in 2020.
That comment was too real 😆 I'm usually a 4 times a year person, but cos of Covid it's been a year since my last salon visit 😬
Ha. I haven't cut my hair in 2 years.

bruh i want a long face
r u kidding would u rather have a circle face
I LOVEEE that you talked about personality and what you WANT to emphasise. Its not always about creating an oval face shape fr
"Diamond is the new oval". Omg as a dimond-faced person I love that line and couldn't agree more💎💎💎

my density: medium

I almost everytime regret a "drastic" haircut lol.
It's just a trim said the hairstylist 😅
Its NEVER just a trim. I ask for a "dusting" but I ultimately get butchered every time. Im doing Mels DIY ponytail cut once it grows back out.
Omg I’ve had some stupid looking haircuts most my life. I love doing my own dusting trims and haircolor.

The top layer of my hair is the curliest, 3A/3B (depending on styling usually). The bottom layer is wavy, it ranges from 2C to 2A! I usually cut the top layer of my hair quite layered and then leave the bottom a more uniform length, sometimes I even cut some of the bottom layers shorter because they have less shrinkage. Basically, every time I cut my hair I have to decide if I'd rather have more of a shape or make the layers of my hair look cohesive. My hair is mid-length but my face is oblong so I don't know if I should grow it out (which might help improve the shape vs hiding-the-straight-looking-part dilemma). I highly doubt you will answer my essay but I would really appreciate your advice on what to do. THANK YOU!!
Yes, please on the typesof curly cuts video!
I want to know about the different curly haircuts!
Me too please.
This is so helpful, thank you! I had no idea fine hair should be trimmed every 4-6 weeks, I'm usually every 3 months! I literally just cut my own hair (for the first time) using your pigtail method video and I'm so pleased with it 😊
I've watched multiple videos about what "whatever" is best for your face shape or what is your face shape and never understood what my was. Now I know I have a long heart shape face. This has been the most helpful of these types of videos that I've watched.
This video is so well done and so professional that I feel a little guilty that I didn't pay to watch it! Thank you for your amazing job! Un saluto dall'Italia a te e Amanda!
Thank you! I have never gotten a haircut and I have curly hair and I've been so overwhelmed by all the potential pitfalls. This really helped.
This is the most detailed video of figuring out face shape I've ever found💯🙌
She wins the best explanation ever for hairstyles 🤍
I knew it! I guessed today’s video was gonna be about choosing the best hair cut for you from Amanda’s Instagram story
This is the best explanation I have ever heard. Thanks so much. Now, I know what style I should have for my thin curly hair.
getting my haircut tomorrow, so helpful!
woohoo!! Goodluck beauty
BEST HAIR VIDEO EVER
I'm 62 years old. Natural ginger, coarse, wavy , thick hair.
You covered it all. Well done!
Amazing, ur the only stylist to discuss profiles. And I've never heard of pat shape, but that makes total sense. 😉
17:34 you’re welcome
I just cut my hair short and I’m so excited. My hair hasn’t been this short since I was maybe 4 or 5 yrs old. So I’m trying to learn how to take care of it
Wowww I wish I can just go to Canada so Mel can cut and style my hair 😩😩 this was so helpful now just to find a trustworthy stylist!
this is ABSOLUTELY the best haircut guide ive ever seen, never seen anyone explain it like this, ur so good omg
"you can't get away with cutting your hair once a year"
Corona: am i a joke to you?
Thank u for putting into words what seemingly no one else on the internet would. It was so detailed and helpful
Yes, a video on the the three specific textures (way, curly, and coily) and what to ask for in a haircut would be very helpful because that is where I struggle the most having texture that is extremely tight waves that want to be curly but I feel a proper haircut would really enhance the curls that are forming!
I still can't figure out my face shape lol
Me too. I'm leaning towards round but I'm not sure, lol.
@@jessiestephens3943 same, i can't figure out if im round, oval or square
You might have a combo of two or more types. I think mine is a combo of heart and diamond for example. My recommendation is to compare the prominent features of your face to the types listed in the video and apply those instead of following the tips for just one shape. For my face my cheekbones and my forehead are the most prominent, so to highlight them I used tips from both diamond and heart. Hope this helps!
A trick I've heard is to take lipstick and outline the shape of your face in the mirror.
Same 💀💀💀
Sigh. I knew this hair growth journey with my thin, flat, pin straight hair wasn’t really making me feel any better about myself but now that you put in that way I’m seriously considering going for a long bob.
Volume is dang near impossible and everything just, hangs there. At least I’m oval so I don’t have to go too fancy but yeah 😢
There are so many things to consider. I love that you talk about all hair and face shape and so on. Thank you.
I have very full thick hair, curly, and it is not like your hair at the root. My hair cuts from the very top! I have been trying your tips. Today, it was the curliest. And, yes, I really don't want volume, just curls. Yaya! ❤
Can you do a "best drugstore curly hair products" video and talk about heavy vs light weight products?
This was a very helpful and clear explanation for finding the right haircut according to my face shape! I switched my hairdresser and regret this. I’m going back to her salon for color soon, and will ask her for a haircut consultation while I’m there. I hope she’s not offended 😳. This video was excellent because now I know why a rounded shape is better for my oval face and thick hair and why I hate when I get a triangle haircut.
This came just in time, I am in desperate need of a new haircut, this past week my toddler painted my hair with super glue while I was sleeping. My hair is so messed up now lol
PLZ why’d your toddler do that, RIP to your hair
My face shape is very similar yours (a soft diamond shape), and I love emphasizing my cheekbones and narrower chin! 😄 I really love our face shape, and also heart shaped faces. Very feminine, I think! ☺️
SO NEEDED!!!! Love having these in depth videos about hair types and face shapes! Thank you Mell! Be healthy and safe!
no wonder I feel more confident with certain hairstyles over others🤦🏻♀️ It all has to do with my face shape & balance and I got a big forehead😂 thanks Mell, great vid!
Your face may be a diamond but your show is a HEART.
The stylist I have ran into ARE SCARED OF MY HAIR! Full curl head. You have helped me fall in love with my hair. I am learning how to take care of and style it! 💕
I ran, I liked, and now I watch. 😂
Yes Mel.. Please more on thin curly cut hair styles. I have a plus sized round face. Turning 60, getting jowls. Fine hair with scalp showing. Hypothyroidism causes hair loss. My curls are a 2-3.. not as curly as yours, though I do have a few coils. I am still new to the curly hair, you have been a huge help. I need help with my hair style. I now get layered with my bangs cut to about the tip of my nose, which when dry and curly goes below my eyebrows - to in my eyes depending on how curly my curls are that day. I brush my thin bangs to the side, with a slight side part. I really need help finding a style that will give me some height since I am 5 foot 2., but I am thin on top front and back. PLEASE HELP ME. Thank you.
Then there’s me, with a face that doesn’t really fit any face shape but still manages to be very distinctively ugly with any hair style
I'm stuck somewhere between an oval and square. I quite like the shape but the features themselves are quite un-appealing. So hair can't do anything for them on one hand, on the other I've tried a lot of haircuts and liked them all visually (even thought a lot of them are very unpractical so its bun-appropriate length again)
This is literally the best & most through explanation & video I have ever seen on this subject. Thank you.
THANK YOU QUEEN!!! When you and Amanda went live a couple of weeks ago I was posting that shape haircut question literally every two seconds in the question box and the comments hahaha sorry if I bugged you but omg I can’t wait to see it now finally ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes please. More info on the different haircuts for curly hair😊.
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
This video just helped me make sense of why I also prefer to wear my glasses with certain styles and rock contacts with others. I've chosen my glasses to give me a more balanced face, so a certain hairstyle can throw that balance right back off. Couple that with the fact that certain necklines make my chin look sharper than it is, and I'm starting to understand why I spend so much time pairing a neckline, with a hairstyle, with glasses. 😂
Mel💕 I love you, your hair, and your personality!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're awesome, thank you!!
Please do talk more about fine/thin hair and the side profiles like more elaboration 🥺 this video is literally a gold mine
Yes, I would love a video on curly hairstyles! You are so great...💕
Thank you!! I think you'd really like this video: ua-cam.com/video/gpykgahT0Mw/v-deo.html 💕
Not me watching this at 3am before my haircut in a few hours 😅😅😅 thank you so much for helping me to understand my hair a little more. At least now I have an idea of what I could pull off 😊
I just want you to pick my next hairstyle, welp
Very very helpful. I desperately need a DIY hair cut for heart shaped face, fine, wavy hair, born blonde that has darkened with age. I'm in my fabulous fifties. 😍
It's been five years since my hair has been cut!😱
I do not use heat all at and wash about every 2 weeks. I went so long because I've been in a medically ordered quarantine.
Now I just HAVE to cut it! I can't take it anymore. It's far too long, split and dried out for several inches on the ends. I'm ready to take a foot at least off it, and I have to do it myself.
I know there are techniques to do this myself for the style you have so graciously helped me figure out would suit me best and are very easy care for. For me....heart shaped face, thin hair( but a lot of it), and wavy. It is straighter in the front and more wavy in the back. Curly at the very back. Also known as beach wave.
So, I'm on the hunt now in your playlist how to best achieve a DIY shoulder length blunt cut with very slight layers at the bottom. I would like a bang to cover a scar on my forehead from fighting ongoing malignant melanoma skin cancer. This is a very visible scar I would like
to disguise and not undergo more surgeries for plastic surgery to correct. I will avoid any unnecessary surgeries that aren't life saving.
I am NOT licensed stylist, however I have cut hair since I was teenager for neighbor kids of single moms, friends, family, grand children, and my own some.
If you have suggestions on videos you you playlist that would suit me, and would be willing to link them in a reply I would incredibly grateful.
I have to say I am so happy I found your channel! I have already seen such a difference in my hair and all I have done is followed your prep, style, finish with products I already have. I definitely would love to see more about curly hair cuts as I need a new look.
I got my first haircut when I was 11 years old and it took forever for them to cut and didn't even look good in the end.... ever since I've been messing around with the lengths at the salon but they never could seem to get my cuts quite right so because of quarantine I just decided "hey, I'll just try it out myself" so now I'm here :')
It's grown out quite a bit so I have plenty to work with and mess up as much as I want since in the end I'm thinking of going for a shorter look anyhow. This was really helpful for me! I cut my great-grandma's hair today and it turned out really nice so now that I know that I'm capable of cutting hair it's just a matter of figuring out what I want for my own
My main concern when getting a haircut is that I don’t want hair to fall over my eyes every day so I can’t see 🤣
Wonderful video!
Because I have very thick hair, the hairdressers are unable to cut it in layers and they do not want to admit that they lack the knowledge to do it and do not take into account my face shape and my lifestyle.
So I've stopped cutting my long hair at the salon. The last two times I came out with two hairstyles rather than one and many hundreds of kroner poorer. (Living in Sweden)
Thanks to UA-cam, I have learned how to cut my own hair the way I want it to look and which hairstyle suits my face shape. I maintain my style by cutting a few millimeters every week. Last time I cut my bangs and I got so much praise from those around me that I decided never to go to a salon again.
This was really really helpful. I now get why some cuts I've gotten just didn't work in the past, based on my face shape at the time, which has changed over time (hello Freshman 15 and COVID 15) I know what to avoid in the future and how to work with what I got. Can never thank you enough. You are my dream hairstylist! And it would be a dream come true to have a consultation with you one day! You are super talented, funny and just all around awesome. Please don't stop doing your vids!
I have to say you are 100% right
ALL FACE SHAPES ARE STUNNING!
Can we get a tutorial for hair who are straight in the root and curly in the ends? Pls send help sos
Yess, please!
@Joe Castiglione... if the hair is curly, it isn't wavy. wavy and curly hair are dramatically different. if someone has flat roots, and the rest of the hair is curly, it probably means they're doing something wrong in their hair care routine. perhaps stretching out the pattern by brushing or overloading with product, or even just having long, heavy hair that pulls the pattern out
I have defined ringlets from my eyes down, but above that it's straight. my hair is definitely not wavy. I've been neglecting haircuts for years, so that's probably why the area around my roots is weighted down and straight
@Joe Castiglione No it can actually be curly, for exemple, I have straight hair at the roots, then wavy, then 3B curls
Not gonna lie, I've watched so many videos like this one and none of them come close to the info and the easy structure of this one. I love it ! Good job girl 👏
That was super interesting and helpful, and yeah I still have questions so more curly haircut videos would be great!
Oval face, medium texture and wave patter gal over here🙋♀️.....my favorite is tons of layers ...the shortest starting an inch above the neck.
I have been going back and forth about cutting straight across bangs, and I think this video helped me decide! Thank you 🙏
This has nothing to do with this specific video but I watch your videos ALL the time as you know that transitioning takes a LOT of research. WELL the other day I was shopping with my bf and was pumped to see that Bluemercury sells the brand Seen with the fragrance free options you had reviewed so in excitement I said “Omg they have the brand one of the girls I watch reviewed!” And without skipping a beat he said “Your mane girl Mel?”
Just thought y’all would appreciate the fact that you’re now a curly household name ❤️
Wow, Mel, that was one of the most helpful, informative youtube vids I've seen! I'm in the midst of trying to decide on whether to go shorter/change things up for my hair and this gives some clarity and logic to the debate in my head >_
The only hair video that actually had me consider a specific hair cut that I’m sure of. This was so helpful now let me go ruin my hair by cutting it on my own
Better you then the "hair stylist".
I have a long narrow face with a small forehead and long chin. My hair is soft and wavy and I think of medium thickness, but it's very dense. My face is soft, not angular or blunt, but its not round.
Layers!!
This is the most well put together video about hair I have ever seen, thank you so much for this 😭
Love it! Another one of these but all about different types of curly bangs, please! Also epic editing, I swear Amanda is the editing queen
This is the reason why I HATED going to a hair salon.... they 'assume' and cut your hair... then you go home shower a few days after and have no idea how to deal with that kinda cut... doesnt fit your face or the texture... this is a good video.. thank you!!
Mell! Omg where have you been my whole life?! I have been on the STRUGGLE bus trying to manage my fine wavy hair on my asymmetrical heart shaped face. I finally did a shorter bang cut and realized all the other hairstyles I’ve ever tried (most of them being nightmares) were not for me at all but that took a lot of trial and error throughout the years and a lot of bathroom tears. Thanks so much for making this video as I am on a new journey where I have to leave my tried and true curly hair stylist behind and learn how to cut my own hair as I country hop across South America. Today I am going to try to cut my own hair and due to your tips I’m going to stick with a medium/short style and try to keep my bangs but make them more curtain-y. About to go watch your curtain bangs video now. Wish me luck 😅
First things first, thank you so much for this video :)
Second, Would you please make a video about hair colour and cut per age? I mean, If there are certain colours or cuts that might show any wrinkles clearer or hide them better.
Hi Mel. You made that sound so easy. I always struggle to find the right style. I love long hair but I have a long face shape, and lacks volume. I have a fringe that is growing and don’t know what to do with it. Thanks for making this video.
curly hair cuts! curly hair cuts!! curly hair cuts!!! Mell you´re such a life savior, I love your videossssssssssss
The video we all needed
This is literally the most logical and helpful haircut guide I've ever seen.
Such a great consultation!!! Mell you are super cute and such fun to watch, and so informative!!! I've been trying to decide what hair cut for over a year, I found your video and I am so much more informed and able to make a decision. So grateful to you. thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us all, and for being such an authentic sweet person!!
I’d love a video on the different curly cuts. Thanks for all this info Mell! 💜
