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.
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. 😅
@@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!
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.
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 😬
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
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.
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.
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’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! 💕
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!! ❤️
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
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 😊
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
@@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.
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!
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 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.
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!!
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 >_
7:05 oh... so that's why when I cut my very long hair chin length at age 19 everyone was blown away saying I suddenly looked like a grown up woman! My square faced jawline was being softened by by long hair until then, making me look younger
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 😊
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
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.
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 😢
Excellent!! Very helpful and so good. hope to see more. AS a result of watching I have been able to determine a lot about best styles for my thin hair hair. Thanks for your help
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 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!
this video helped me realize that I have a diamond face shape. It’s not as prominent as yours, so I’ve always thought I had an oval face shape. But when I actually pull my hair back, my cheekbones are indeed the part of my face that stick out the most. Very exciting! I’ve always thought the diamond face shape was very pretty.
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!
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.
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! 💕
@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
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! ❤
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!
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.
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 👏
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 so comprehensive omg!!! My hair is so long and heavy right now I can literally feel it when I let it down from my go to bun. Rn can't wait to get a new hair cut!!
The boing test 🥲. The first time my hairdresser gave me bangs she cut them at my nose. She basically gave me another layer of baby hairs. I was braiding my bangs to the side and pinning them until my hairs grew out. Now my bangs are right under my chin and they bounce up to the correct place on my face. So glad to have this video to keep us from making any further mistakes. Mel! You are a blessing ❤️
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.
Please tell me how I'm in the same boat as you were😂
Lol same i have long face & i hate 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.
bruh i want a long face
r u kidding would u rather have a circle face

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 :)
@@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!

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.
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 😬

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💎💎💎
As an oval shaped face person I also totally agree. Not sure why horse face was ever considered the prettiest 😂😭😫

Yes to a video on cutting curly hair!
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.
Happy texture Tuesday!! I have a square face shape with medium/ coarse textured curly hair. What’s your face shape and hair texture ?!👇🏼
you and I are not so different seester! A diamond is like a square turned sideways if you think about it hehe
Honestly I'm terrible at figuring this out. Also I just keep admiring seesters hair so I didn't focus on what I need to do 😅
same here Amanda!!😜
I have an inbetween square/round face shape and the same hair type as you Amanda! And I've been wanting curly BANGS! Am I crazy?
I have an oval face shape, straight profile, my hair is parting in the middle naturally, with medium/coarse strands, medium density, curly hair.
my face shape: oval
my density: medium
mel: you can get away with anything/it's perfect
well... that really helped my indecisive ass

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.

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 literally the best & most through explanation & video I have ever seen on this subject. Thank you.
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Yes please. More info on the different haircuts for curly hair😊.
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 >_
7:05 oh... so that's why when I cut my very long hair chin length at age 19 everyone was blown away saying I suddenly looked like a grown up woman! My square faced jawline was being softened by by long hair until then, making me look younger
Can you do a "best drugstore curly hair products" video and talk about heavy vs light weight products?
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 😊
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
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.
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 💕
Thank u for putting into words what seemingly no one else on the internet would. It was so detailed and helpful
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 😢
Excellent!! Very helpful and so good. hope to see more. AS a result of watching I have been able to determine a lot about best styles for my thin hair hair. Thanks for your help
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 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!
Mel💕 I love you, your hair, and your personality!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're awesome, thank you!!
this video helped me realize that I have a diamond face shape. It’s not as prominent as yours, so I’ve always thought I had an oval face shape. But when I actually pull my hair back, my cheekbones are indeed the part of my face that stick out the most. Very exciting! I’ve always thought the diamond face shape was very pretty.
I have been going back and forth about cutting straight across bangs, and I think this video helped me decide! Thank you 🙏
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
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!
I've never found someone explaining things super super detailed! Love it❤️🥺
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.
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! 💕
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
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! ❤
Happy Texture Tuesday!! I know this week’s video is going to be great! Thank you Mell and Amanda! ☺️💕
This is the best, most in-depth and easily understood version of these types of videos.
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 💀💀💀
This is the most comprehensive video about head! It is soo clear and she is so pretty!
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!!
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 👏
Your face may be a diamond but your show is a HEART.
I have to say you are 100% right
ALL FACE SHAPES ARE STUNNING!
The video we all needed
You're absolutely killing it Mel. I send so many people to your channel, it has taught me so much and I'm having the best wash days of my life.
This makes me so happy thank you so much! I hope your wash days keep getting better and better
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 so comprehensive omg!!! My hair is so long and heavy right now I can literally feel it when I let it down from my go to bun. Rn can't wait to get a new hair cut!!
I’d love a video on the different curly cuts. Thanks for all this info Mell! 💜
I love that you put so much info into one video and explain it so well that it’s not overwhelming 🤍
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 🤣
The boing test 🥲. The first time my hairdresser gave me bangs she cut them at my nose. She basically gave me another layer of baby hairs. I was braiding my bangs to the side and pinning them until my hairs grew out. Now my bangs are right under my chin and they bounce up to the correct place on my face. So glad to have this video to keep us from making any further mistakes. Mel! You are a blessing ❤️
If it wasn't for corona I'd drive to toronto from ny just for a haircut from you 😭😭😭
Id drive it with ya!! Some say, Roadtrip?!😀😀
She's in Toronto??
curly hair cuts! curly hair cuts!! curly hair cuts!!! Mell you´re such a life savior, I love your videossssssssssss
