I really want a tutorial of how to sleek your hair into a ponytail without disturbing your curls 😅
Your wish is my command 🫶🏻
Same!
Water, Gel and a soft brush and tie you hair down overnight
i’m confused about what this means? a sleek pony will always disturb the curls you’re sleeking
you need to make sure u dont brush your ends and make it frizzy and then you can use gel and twirl strands around ur finger to define them
It's definitely an interesting topic! But one thing people tend to forget, when it comes to the straight vs wavy vs curly thing, is that how you style your natural hair can make a huge difference! I have wavy hair and when I brushcoil my hair it looks very different from when I just scrunch in some mousse or gel. the products & methods I use can give me more "elegant / professional" vs beachy/ laid-back vibes. Also that the reason why we associate straight textures with being professional has a lot to do with cultural aspects & history...
So I also think that this trend should encourage us to challenge certain stereotypes.
@caughtupinthewaves Really excellent breakdown on the curly vs straight reflection on professionalism! I’ve been straightening my hair for professional situations and I think for the conference next week I’m not going to do so. I’m feeling like even though I understand why people at a subconscious level have this bias, I’m going to finally buck it! And, you’re so right about the styling making so much of a difference. For decades I just felt messy when I wore my hair natural because I just didn’t know how to style it properly. Now thanks to people like @manesbymell I’m learning!
Nice comment, really inspiring! Love your view on all kinds of hair😇
Years ago when I was in highschool I actually had this theory that people thought of you differently based on your hair. I have naturally black straight/wavy (depends on the day) hair, and people used to assume a lot of the time I was reserved and scary. People tend to assume I was a b*tch when I wore it out or thought I was serious when I wore it in a bun.
I'm actually a very bubbly person who never tries to be mean, so these perceptions were hurtful back then. I dyed my hair light brown (or honey dirty blonde, whatever you want to call it), and wrapped my hair in pencils every single night. When I had blonde curly hair, people assumed I was dumber but also a lot nicer. I was approached more often by guys as well.
However, there were a few men who absolutely loved and were obsessed with my natural black straight hair and I never had that obsession over the curly blonde. It felt like black+straight/wavy = loved by few, blonde+curly/wavy = liked by many.
Now, I have it natural, because who can really be bothered and who cares? I also want to embrace my natural self and not let people's opinions dictate what I look like. However, I definitely use hair theory in my hairstyles from time to time. ;)
Hair is actually everything. I did not know about this trend, but I noticed people percieving me differently when I started wearing out my curls instead of a clean high bun. This video gave so many ideas. I would like it if you could expand a bit more on the texture and accessoires. Like you said texture holds a lot of bs stigma but I was wondering if you have any tips to elevate your look and wether accessoires would help.
Yep. I went from my natural super straight hair to getting it permed to a loose spiral level of curl. People definitely perceive me differently. I seem to come across much more friendly now where as before I feel I was perceived as too business-y/serious.
I've been more confident with my natural hair and I've gotten more compliments compared to when I always use have a slick ponytail/bun or straighten my hair. I think it's just that it didn't suit my face well.
Can confirm pigtails theory 😂
"hair is everything." - Fleabag
I would actually love some more of this! Especially help on how to wear my very fine curly hair for work; I'm a veterinarian so I HAVE to have it out of my face... I often just do the boring ponytail. (That is, I find it boring on me.) Everything just looks... smaller on my head than it does on yours because my hair is so fine. I'm lucky I have a lot of it! :)
I am a nursing assistant. I put my hair in a ponytail and then make petals. Grab a small section and roll.I roll under. Bobby pin each petal. I get about 8. French braids are another favorite.
A really easy way to dress it up a little is to just do a couple braids leading into the ponytail/bun. Like literally just plain braids, they don't need to be french or anything.
I have similar, but less dense, thin, wavy hair. I put it up with a flat to the head claw clip in a messy French twist with the curly tips splaying everywhere. It’s contained and casually professional. I think Amazon calls the clips French twist clips (duck bill clips) they lay into the shape of your head so you can even lay your head down with it in, unlike claw clips.
@@imaginefun13 Oooh that's a good one, thank you
@@robinluettke8732 well I can't for the life of me French braid my hair (the strands like to hold each other's hand or something) but the petals I can do! thank you!
Honestly this is so true. I used to come to my job with my hair half up half down, no bangs. Now I have shorter more layered curly hair with bangs. I throw it up into a bun with heavy curly fringe and I get LOADS of compliments and people are super nice to me/approach me more. The bangs soften my RBF 🤣
Fun video! But us type 4 girlies got left out on the texture bit there🥲 our coily hair is different than curly.
Lol! The sunglasses with the nose tabs as a headband gives "absolute commitment" because those things aren't moving until you pull ALL your curls out and some hair)
When I had long curly hair (it came to my lower back) I was so annoyed by how much maintenance it was so I decided to cut it shorter (neck/shoulder length) thinking that it was going to be easier. I was very wrong :)
I found that to be true as well! Now I am growing it back out!
Saaaaammmeee
Same😂
Oh well, I just decided to be bald.
My life is great now, no hair, no shampoo, no hair conditioner, no brush, nothing. I am finally free from that thing.
And people are nicer, for the wrong reasons XD.
@@uatcgfhdhu If only my balls were the same size as yours hahaha. That's great for you🖤
Loved this! I was military for 20 years with the slicked back tight bun but now my hair is wild and free, just like my spirit! I hope my new vibe is nature-loving, cat-lady, off-duty mermaid! (The look to Amanda suggesting she try a pixie cut was my favorite moment in the video!)
My hair is pixie short but I have a really low esteem.
The way you described pixie made me feel better about myself. Thank you ❤
Can we all acknowledge how hilarious she is 😂seriously didn’t expect to laugh multiple times in a hair video, and learn stuff too! and you’re so positive and encouraging, just love this all round 😊
I have extremely fine and thin hair mostly straight slight waves, basically baby hair on my entire head, I believe I have overall diffused loss and thinning now as well. I can’t do much with my hair style wise. And definitely have never been able to have what’s referred to as “no part”. Hair theory trend makes me feel even worse about my hair which really sucks I just wanna find something that works for me. I’ve been short I’ve been long, I prefer it long. Cheers to all us fine and thinning ladies out there.
Hmmm, I have fine and thin hair and am giving castor oil a shot (when I can afford it rosemary oil as well). Castor oil helps with growth, thickness, scalp Ph, follicle strength, the whole shebang basically. I’m hopeful about it! I love natural products.
Ooh also. Using a slippery conditioner really helps when growing your hair out, I use OGx coconut and add in a bit of jojoba oil (helps with shine and moisturizing) detangling from the tips up, I never switch conditioners now (I actually bulk order the 50% more kind on bed bath and beyond every year and then don’t need to worry about it for a long time after that).
I try to limit combing to when I shower then just braid it the rest of the time to avoid tangling… I swear straight hair tangles easier because it isn’t in groups like curly hair is!!!
Anyways sorry to rant but I hope this could help!!!
Try minoxidil foam the for men version. You have to use and keep using it but it should help.
I understand how you feel, I have exactly the same kind of hair as you and have had diffuse hair loss and thinning since I was 20, am now 35. It really sucks and it is really devastating for one's self confidence, I also feel down from trends like these where they assume that everyone has really thick and even hair all over the head, as if 😅The reason why I have hair loss and bad quality of hair is that I have a slightly higher amount of androgens (hormones such as testosterone, DHEA) in my blood. Have you checked with a doctor why you loose hair? It sounds as if you could have the same issue as me, but it could be other reasons as well, such as iron deficiency or a thyroid problem, or it could of course simply be genetical. The easiest/medical way to treat high androgens is to take anti-androgenic birth control pills, however I don't want to do that because I have high blood pressure, which increases the risk of strokes etc. But perhaps it could help you? I swear, I have tried all the oils, laser, prp and other b*llshit expensive treatments that there are out there, nothing has helped. The problem is most likely internal and not topical, which means there are no oils in the world that will make your hair grow if your hormones are making you loose hair.
To help you here and now, I will give you a tip that has changed my life for the better. The thing that has helped me immensely are hair toppers, i.e. replacement hair. It is like a wig but you put it on with clips on top of your head and blend it with your natural hair which gives it a more natural feel than a wig (however, I am now looking into wigs as well because they are really making them look natural these days). I swear, to be able to put on hair that is thick and of good quality will make you feel much better, if you are like me and just feel down every time you try to style your natural hair. There are hair toppers made of real human hair and synthetic ones, the best ones are made of real human hair, which I use, but they are of course more expensive. I don't know where you live but I live in Sweden and here you can get some financial support from our NHS if you are in need of hair replacement due to medical reasons.
Sorry for such a long post, but I hope I could help you in some way! I know how awful it can be when you feel like you're the only one in the world who has female hair loss, which is not true! Google hair toppers 👍 Cheers! 😊
Nai - ee - veh - Tay, honestly you gave a very kind and generous interpretation of why men tip more for the ponytails. The reason ofc is much more sinister.
Can you possibly create content around greying curly locks? I love my curls, but I am also letting my hair go naturally grey. I love the grey, too. I know my curls will change. I am almost 60...so yeah, things are changing.
Tell me about the hair COLOR theroy too!! My hair is pink and shrt and 3B curly. I'm a pixy personality of course and everyone compliments me being "brave" witch is actually annoying,lol.
UGH why is “brave” so backhanded 😭😭 color definitely has an impact, too! Also, it’s not quite the same thing, but I do have a video on how to choose the perfect hair colour for you based on your eye colour and skin tone if you’re interested in watching: ua-cam.com/video/FlRCbbmmRgw/v-deo.html
I have premature silver hair and for a couple years went with various undercut pixies and just got so much attention from both males and females! It was so bizarre. And I’m with you so hard on the weirdness of the “brave” comments, too. My hair is an odd combination of shades of silver and grey so I still get comments asking if it’s natural, which is weird too.
Color seasons is another thing that talks about color and how it works on your skin tone and might be worth looking into if you’re interested!
dude i never understood how dyeing your hair is "brave" as if every basic person i know has pink @$$ hair lmao, it's the norm now (and i say this as someone who lives in a supposedly "conservative and religious" asian country)
That bun with the claw clip looks stunning! Would love to see more claw clip styles!
Just filmed a GRWM style video that will come out eventually soon, so stay tuned for style tutorials and tips ✨🫶🏻
Wow. When you show the side to side comparison it is a huge help! You're always amazing.
I am so excited to watch this. I’ve been thinking about this lately. I absolutely love your content and energy. ❤
I went short at 37 years old after a lifetime of long curls. I was ready, which surprised me at the time. But it was glorious for a few years. Then, I missed my curls and grew out back. But I highly recommend doing it at least once.
You're fantastic, Mell! Ty for your content!
I think I have a newfound appreciation for my long hair after going pixie short a while back! 🤗 After going short once we never have to wonder again which is nice 🙂
That turquoise hair on you made me GASPP! It would look sooo good!!
WOW! This video so awesome! Love how honest and real you are! You say it like it is. Curly wavy hair is definitely a journey. Hair changes throughout life, it can get frustrating as we age. Thank you so much!
I love these types of videos! My Favorite is the scientify ones 💖💖
I have been so hesitant with doing doing ponytails or leaving “bangs” out towards the front of my face. I am going to continue experimenting with hair theory and find what works best for my face shape. I’m trying to elevate my hair style and give that energy and attitude that Mell talked about in this video! I do love and appreciate my curls, they truly are so fun and unique. They really are one a kind, gotta love em 🩷
Thanks for letting me me know what hair theory is! I saw the video of Amanda yesterday, and had no idea what it meant! I’ll have to do more research into this! Also, that scarf looks AMAZING on you. 💗
aw.. this is so helpful as for me who just started my natural curly hair journey. i would like to know which style and accessories to use to create different impressions for people like us curly hair.
anyway always love your videos Mel, and Amanda too!! love🙆🏻♀️💗
If you've ever watched Orphan Black, you know that a different hairstyle can make someone unrecognizable.
You look so cute with the double buns! Like little cat ears 🐱
I actually loved it I need to do them more
My gosh, so much to learn and see. Hair is everything. Thank you! Mel, for your input & charismatic energy. Ponytail was one of my favorites. And yes more videos like this please.
☝🏻😮💨😎❤️
That's exciting! I am growing out my natural hair after a lifetime of coloring and I am very excited to see the end results and those healthier curls!
I’m 57 years old and retired. I decided to embrace my curls since I don’t need to look professional any more. I can’t wait to learn more. My question is do you know an older woman with curly hair? As you age you loose elasticity and shine and I feel I need someone older. Perhaps you can do a video regarding this issue! You and your sister are so beautiful and you did teach me stuff! Thank you!
As a 55+ yo transitioning to a technical field, I go through the hair theory conundrum every time I prep for a professional situation. I’ve gone prematurely silver, have 2b/2c below the shoulder hair, usually worn styled as “curly” as possible… but I’ve straightened it the last couple of conferences I’ve gone to. Why? I’m afraid of looking messy (frizz is a daily threat). Then I get mad that I’m even worried about my hair. Lol. 😊
Same girl same. My female employer has even told me I should go back to coloring my hair and straighten it to look more "professional." That's a no from me. I love my silver, wavy whirlies!
@@tinat232 That’s just…. I want to say rude. But I also know where that kind of thought comes from. I still don’t think it’s right, or necessary. Although, I definitely got a lot of positive comments when I had a shaved undercut pixie. Sigh.
I have felt the same way but I have definitely rocked my curly hair during conferences and professional settings at my school events.
I feel like a low side pony looks really pretty and professional for curly hair.
Women are often women’s worst critics. It sucks. I’m 53 and 20 yrs ago my boss gave me $2k for a new wardrobe to attend conferences. My friends didn’t understand why that made me cry. And not with joy. Since, I’ve gone my own way with hair and clothes. Not all observers understand. Sure, on a given Monday I may look like Hagrid but I rock my look with confidence, white hair and all, when needed because THAT’S my comfy place where my communication stars! I mean, my hair has no value but my words and actions do. I’ve seen every look imaginable in my LA career and the ones that make a lasting impression are the ones that are authentic. I’m still self conscious of course, but I wish us all the freedom to DO YOU!!!! 🎉💃👏🥰
I would love to see tips for styling curly hair that is thinning on the crown..I appreciate all the tips you give us!
The snow was here yesterday in Burlington Ontario and the hockey is here tonight! C’mon Mell… go Leafs go! Loved your texture Thursday video!!
"Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one but we don't have to smell it." 😂 I'm keeping that one for when I give pep talks. Also Mell, thank you again. This was very fun. I have an activity tomorrow and I was unsure if my picked hairstyle will look good. But it is true, we can pull off any hairstyle as long as we are confident. Thanks for reminding us! 💜
I think it was originally "most people's stink" but "we don't have to smell it" brings a more chill vibe
Hey Mell! Can you talk about grey hair? What did you do to your natural grey hair? after you no longer bleach and dye your hair? What do you recommend if we just want to cover it?
I would love to see more videos from you touching on different subjects like vlogs or something!!
Happy texture Thursday!! Excited to watch as always!! Hope you’re all having a great day ❤️
Happy Texture Tuesday lynzi!!! thanks for being here❤️❤️
Happy texture Thursday and happy early EARTH DAY! We shared a new blog on my site about some eco friendly ways to reduce, reuse and recycle ♻️ our beauty products, you can read it here: manesbymell.com
this one is spot on, love it and aagree with everything. pls make one about hair colors! i trust your opinion on hair matters
Love your videos! Could you do one about how to style or manage thinning hair? I have long, curly hair, but have been struggling with what to do with it since giving birth as I am going through major postpartum hair thinning. I’m super insecure about it and end up just putting it in a bun cause I don’t know what else to do with it and I feel it looks so thin. Would love to see your expertise on cuts, styles, etc. thanks!!!
Please do a part 2 on hair color ❤❤❤
I’m the kinda person that worries about how to style my hair so it compliments my outfit and my face! I have locs and love wearing them curly or crinkly and in buns. I’ve had all kinda hair but I started to feel the most confident when it was super short and green.
Happy Texture Thursday!! This was so interesting!
Interesting video! I'll definitely be trying some of these out!
Omg I loved everything about this video!!
i finally found the haircut and style that looks best on me and i'm sticking with it!! wish i had enough energy to keep it dyed though, because the red i had for a bit there made me Glow c:
It would be helpful to have some quick tips on achieving some of these looks for curly hair e.g. high pony tail, slick back, etc. thanks!
Thank you for this video and girl you are gorgeous😍
You are such a fun person. Thank you for this.
loved this video and can’t wait for more❤
It’s crazy how people treat me differently just based on my hair texture color and style!!
Wow this is fascinating and your energy is amazing!!
Your hair is gorgeous!!!!
the low pony was my fave on you
Ooo, a color vibe video could be fun! Also, yeah, it is interesting to see how people react to different styles. I usually have my hair up at work since it can get pretty warm while working, so clients often comment on my natural waves when I have the time & want to really sport them. But I also get nice comments when I straighten my hair too. Might do that for tomorrow since it's been a few months since I've straightened it.
With unnatural colors such as green, blue and purple too!
I was using hair theory without realizing! I really don't pay too much attention to people around me, but I was giving myself different vibes when stiling my hair and was leaving the house with different attitude depending on how my hair was that day. Now I better understand why I can use it to my favour. Thank you!
I loved this video! Please make more.
I have really long, really thick coarse and wavy hair and im getting it cut to shoulder length next week, because wash day is too much of an ordeal for me! I will miss my "coverage" tho, youre so right about that.
Happy Texture Thursday!! I'm excited for this one as always!! Hope you're having a great day!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘
Much love to you Deanna I hope you’re having a fabulous Friday-Eve 🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is so helpful.. would love the colour video too. Seriously I am searching for a style rn and needed the help. I also know more so now I have such a hybrid style lol but just can’t figure out how to let it lay. I constantly switch it up trying to achieve a more long face look and mixed vibe overall... plus, I would like to find something easier to style day to day too.. my hair is high maintenance ㅠㅠ thanks for the video! Helps
Y’all are hilarious. I love y’all to pieces. Hello from Virginia USA.
Omg you helped A LOT! Tysm! ❤😊
This was so interesting. Thank you! ❤
I love you in space buns! 💜
@manebymell can you pleaseee do a tutorial with the cute hairstyles you worn for this video. I just love the update all!
This is so interesting! I had no idea about any of this!! ❤️
I LOVE your energy! first video of yours i've watched and i'm definetely here to stay. curlyheads gotta stick together hahaha
Center part literally looks amazing on you
I swear I need you as a stylist! Wish you were in NYC
I learned so much. Thanks, Mell.
That’s great to hear!! Thanks for watching Faye ❤️
You’re adorable!! Thanks for all the great info!!
Love love your videos girl .
She's super gorgeous
Hello! im very new to your channel, but loving the content. I have wavy maybe even curly hair and its always in a bun because I don't use anything besides regular shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately I don't know what products to buy. But so far I've learned quite a bit from you. So thank you!!
Thanks for your great videos! Information AND entertainment! You're too cute and funny, Mell. Keep it up...
mel you're so pretty
I love your videos. I learn so much and you are freaking hilarious 😂
Hi Mel... Your videos are amazing and have transformed my hair! For the first time in 41 years I actually like my hair. I'm still at the beginning, I had a pixie cut with an undercut 😱 so still have issues with different lengths! I also have problems with a lovely curly left side but my right side is pretty rubbish! I can't work out which way the curls should go! Any tips? Thank you xx
Big Thanks for breaking it down.
Your description of short hair theory gave me added incentive to cut my curls short...very short (almost pixie) after many years of shoulder length curls (that shrank to chin length). I LOVE the results. I've got my sass back, I'm saving money on products, tons of time, and I no longer dread wash day. I look younger, too, and am losing much less hair. How about some styling tips for short haired curlies in a future video?
Thank you so so much. I have a high voice and I'm very caring and people tend to try to walk all over me. I straightened my hair and people seem to love it, but it's long now and I'm worried people think I look even more naive and or dumb
Yes Please 🙏 Please do a color video and a 2.0 for this one 😊
love this topic! I'm 48 and I tell myself that I'll never be too old for a high pony
VERY cool 😎!
Thank you for sharing ❣️😊
Color would be a great follow up!
i have such mixture of vibes haha i have naturally wavy bob and sometimes i do a cute half pony or half bun
What a fun video! I wish I could wear my hair natural and down more often, but I get so hot, I end up putting it up quite often. I’ve had a pixie after the birth of my first child, big mistake…..like Amanda, never again. Keep it coming, content has been awesome.
I definitely need to see some tutorials on how you created these looks ❤❤❤❤
Which one was your favourite?!
@@ManesByMell honestly all of them. I would have to watch the video again to tell you which one is my favorite 😍
Thanks Melbzzz❤😊
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching!! 💅🏻🫶🏻
Thank you so much❤ I have a short pixie with curls! 😊
Nice video Mel, always funny and informative, but you forgot my hair!! I have looong curls, hippie / marmaid vibes :D
you are so gorgeous!
Hey Mel; what is your latest recommendation in sleep hard wrap for keeping your curls fresh? 😊
I always wanted to know about this, but never knew the words to say it
Hello Mell can you make a video regarding your extensions please???
I 🩵 this video!
Fascinating
This is glamour magic!
I'm loving how fun and curly your hair is (and it looked so pretty with the scarf!! It's sorta like my brother's, but his is shorter and blond; I kinda envy it actually XD (I have 2c hair)
What a great concept video Mel!❤
