I feel it doesn't look "bad" to us is because most of us have lived with frizzy hair and didn't know it. At least for me, I thought type 4 hair simply grew that way until I learned about hair types, proper hair care and everything in between (I'm Type 4 btw).
Happy #texturetuesday everyone! I love this video because not only is my seester teaching us all how to understand the root cause of our “unhealthy” frizz + how to treat it, but she also teaches us to embrace our natural frizz because well.... IT IS ONLY NATURAL!!! ❤️😍
To a degree some frizz is ok. But mine...my oh my. Even after washing an looking at my wet hair in the shower is still a ratty mess before I even get to styling.
I’ve been so hard on myself about the wet frizz I usually get when styling , it wasn’t a lot but I thought I was doing something wrong every time , so hearing that it’s normal and to embrace them instead means a lot coming from you❤️ Happy texture Tuesday ! So happy y’all convinced me to start my journey❤️
This comment truly made me so happy❤️. In the past I too have been so negative about frizz in general but it's not all bad! I'm glad i could clear this up and explain the differences in types of frizz, how to solve it and ultimately help you embrace the beauty of your frizz. Thank you so much for watching, until next week xoxo
I was so worried because they always say “if it’s frizzy while it’s wet it would be frizzy when it’s dry” and every single time I was so hard on myself and went crazy when styling 😂
I always thought this! I’d love to see a curl transformation from damaged hair to this! I’d volunteer 😂 it can be a BTS process from beginning video, middle, end!
I’m super hard on myself on my frizz. I get tons of compliments all the time and I say to myself “please don’t look at this one section” not realizing that they can’t even notice that one section. Thanks for the self-esteem boost!
Love the moment where I’m like wow her hair looks amazing and then she mentions it’s 2:07am... the best hair days are the ones where no one sees you in person and then you go to sleep. Who can relate?
I’ve always struggled and had insecurities with my hair since I was a little kid. I was so amazed and envious by how beautiful everyone’s hair look like as well as how healthy they looked. I’ve wanted to become a hair stylist for years but I always felt so insecure and discouraged by how my hair isn’t healthy nor I did not even know where or how to start. Ever since I found your UA-cam channel I became obsessed and changed my hair 180° by watching almost every video you posted! I have improved my hair so much and thanks to you and your seester Amanda you guys gave me the confidence and the courage to decide on going to a hair school next year. This may not be a big deal but honestly I wouldn’t have been so confident and feel so amazing if it weren’t for you two. I learned so much about my hair and learning more day by day makes me just fall in love with hair even more knowing that my curls can turn out to be healthy like yours and I truly appreciate it for all the videos and the effort you put in these videos! You’re my hero and forever will love your videos❤️ I hope that soon one day when I do peoples hairs and give them tips on how to help out their hair that they see results and learn more about their own individual hair just like the amazing Mel!!! Thanks again and I wish you and your sister gains more subscribers because you are honestly so underrated you deserve the best and more ❤️🥺
This made me tear up & is EXACTLY how I feel now that Mell helped me embrace my curls. It means the world that we are able to make you and so many others feel the same! Thank u so much for the love and support 🙂🥰🙂
You're such a genuine girl with such a bubbly personality that I guarantee that I could be cured of my depression just by living with you a whole week. Thank you for making me smile today, I needed it so much.
Also, I would like to see a video on acceptable protective styles for the work place. Winter is coming and I want to keep my hair tucked away and need ideas besides the typical braid and bun.
Thanks Mell! I just had this conversation with my hair stylist a few weeks ago. I told her how I loved her hair and how tamed her frizz was compared to mine, and she told me that she was JUST complaining about her own frizz to her co-worker. We are our own harshest critics for sure 😊
Quarantine + online classes had me forgetting that today was Texture Tuesday. I literally saw this video in my subscriptions and blanked in intense confusion for a good half minute before checking what day it was. 😅😅
@@ManesByMell thank you for this video, I too just started on my journey. Unfortunately, just had my hair cut and the stylist although she advised as curly hair specialist did not give me the right cut. My hair is super short now and just looks like a big puff. My hair is normally very very thick and can get puffy. How do you recommend I thin out my hair, I have been reading that thinning shears shouldn't be used.
I’ve been going natural for about 9months now - and the bit about taking a step back and looking at the whole really helped me out after a few bad wash days. Thank you
@@ManesByMell oh bb just school 🤣😫 glad to be back youre my fav!! (Got chopped from hair down to my butt all the way up above my shoulder and I am livinnnggg)
I'm about 4 months into transitioning my hair. Even though it's not looking it best right now, it already looks so much healthier. I know it's been a great choice 😍 Your videos have been so helpful!
@@cassandrad9713 I definitely used to think about that heaps when I was younger! But now I absolutely love my curls and wouldn't change it 💕 natural hair is always gorgeous 😍
I was thinking I would look for similar products at drug stores or place like Target and Walmart. There are more affordable brands that can do wonders for your hair just like the pricier ones
Ah yes, that bounce back is a sign of very healthy hair! It's taken years and has progressed throughout this channel but i practice what i preach and it WORKS! Thank you for watching
I'm latina and black. My hair texture is fine(very similar to yours), but the curl pattern is a little tighter. I got very useful tips from this video. As a matter of fact this gave me a little motivation to get back to my hair. I've been washing/detangling and throwing it in a bun for months now. Thanks!
I have been trying for years to combate my unruly, frizzy, curly hair and I'm so happy to have found your video. I'm still in the beginning of my curly hair journey and I hope to finally make more headway to my hair goals. Thank you for the tips!
I had straight hair as a kid until 5th grade. Got it cut to my shoulders in layers and it curled right up. I cried and cried. I have always hated my hair! I used a straightener on it all through school. For years I have washed everyday, every other day. I would go to bed with my hair wet wake up looking so crazy. Frizz not really any curls just a hot mess. I use to always wet my hair in morning to style. I was never taught a good way to take care of or style curly hair because no one in my family had crazy curly hair like mine. Since I found your UA-cam channel I have learned so much about my hair and it's helped ALOT. My hair looks and feels so much better!! Thank you!!
Your hair is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. I don’t get how you have such patience when it’s in your face and on your neck and weighing down your head loooool. I get impatient within two seconds ahahah
Adding Olaplex to my next sephora order! Thank you for all of your time and effort you put into teaching us how to care for our curls. Since I've adapted my haircare routine to specifically high porosity needs, it has really taken on such a life of it's own and I absolutely LOVE it now. I spent decades not knowing why things I was trying weren't working for me like they were for other people. Turns out, I was mostly using products best suited for low porosity instead and every thing I gained from one would basically just cancel out another. Now that you've educated "why" to use "what" and "when", it's been a total game changer!
Mell, you always know what we need. I am so hard on myself. I have watched all your videos (yes all of them) and the other day my hubby and I had date night. I wore my hair down, (something I rarely do). I was unimpressed by it that day. When it looks like yours or Amanda's, then I will be impressed. OMG Mell, I got so many compliments. It was sort of awkward. Thanks Mell and Amanda for helping those of us who need to embrace our curls. XOXOXO
Honestly, this video was SO helpful. I stress over the wet frizz and try to correct and it just ends up looking horrible or overworked when dry. AND now I know what to look for and prevent properly - THANK YOU 🙌
Perfect timing as always. My hair has gotten frizzy on day 2 of these last 2 wash days. It looks good after I diffuse. In the morning I steam, but the curls start to pull apart and frizz out. Thank you ladies for reminding us that no matter what, our hairs are beautiful. 😁❤
You are hilarious and gorgeous. Thank you for your detailed guidance. After highlighting my hair, the highlighted portions barely even look wavy anymore, whereas the regrowth underneath looks luscious and curly. I was going to give up on highlights, but now I have hope. Thank you!
Thank you for this! I struggle with frizz in the back of the head a lot. Can you also do a video on gels? Which gel with hard hold is good for fine hair, etc. You ladies rock!!!! 😁✌🏼
I have fine hair and I prefer mousse! The tgin honey mousse is great for moisture ok-ish for hold and the John Frieda mousse is great for hold but isn’t CGM friendly. Hope this helps 😊
Thank you for becoming hair specialist... I doubt chances as a lead singer to become world-famous would be as good to be honest... Love your videos though and I always admire how easy you make wash day and styling look. Thanks a lot for all your advices. Stay healthy.
OMG!! I was so discouraged after my wash this weekend. Wet frizz and frizz in general is my struggle. This video could not have come to me at a better time. I love all your insight! Thank you Mel!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It's a very frustrating thing at times, having curly hair. Thank you so much!!
Omg! I totally love you! I feel like you are like my "curl mom". I needed this video and didn't even know it. I've always loved my curls, but taking care of them for real for real is not something I ever truly understood. I'm one of those that would be hard on myself. You educating us and showing us that "its all good" litterally had me tearing. This was like a virtual hug that its okay to "love it all... keep taking care of it and it will be alright." I appreciate you and what you bring to this social media table. Your bloopers having me dying and another reason why I watch bc you aren't afraid of showing the "sillyness" that happens behind the scenes. Its like the only reason why I like your blog or others because you its super relatable. Keep it up girl! You rock! 🚨🚨
The bloopers 😂😂 I’m dying!! That’s like after a certain time you start getting tired but like a burst of energy because your so tired 😂😂 Love the whole video but the bloopers are what really made it lol
I really appreciate this video! I’ve been concerned that I’ve had some frizz even fresh out of the shower so it’s nice to know that some wet frizz is normal☺️
I mean, I almost cried of relief. My wet frizz is ridiculous, and I’ve only found one video that addressed wet frizz specifically. My finished hair is good though. Working on getting it back to great, thanks to you! Why can’t I rake product into my hair and manipulate the hairs like so many others? My curls break up, get stringy and even more frizzy. If I rake, I ended up having the wooooorst hair day. Thanks for all the education!
LOVING Mel & her channel! My Curl-World is REVIVED! Telling every curly headed chic I see about this channel. Thank you Mel for sharing your wisdom, silliness & CURL TipZ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Literally just bought olaplex today and then I watch this video and its talking about olaplex, was tempted to buy the 0 but I was already getting the shampoo and conditioner and the number 3 and then a leave in conditioner..I'll buy it next time though!
I get so frustrated with my frizz but I'm trying to not be so hard on myself. I tried to take the quiz but it just kept coming up with error messages so that was disappointing. Mell you have made such a big difference to mine and my twin seesters curly hair! You have helped us repair so much damage and get back to our healthy hair! Thank you!
I needed this so much Mell! Next wash day I’m going to look at my hair product free so I can diagnose the problem. I already know the top is the bad frizz and probably needs strengthening treatments.
I’m definitely going to add Olaplex #0 to my routine! I’m struggling a little with shampoos and conditioners right now and was wondering if you had any recommendations? I have treatments for when my hair needs this or that but I never know what a good all around everyday (but not really everyday lol) shampoo and conditioner would be. I would LOVE to request a top favorites from you and Amanda! 🖤
Maria B I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling too. 😞 I feel like I’m wasting so much money on products that don’t work, I should have just bought the expensive stuff to begin with 😭
I second this! I’ve been trying out the verb ghost line but the conditioner isn’t exactly what my hair needs so I’m still looking! Following this in case they reply! 💞
Hadas Bernstein Im with you, the Ghost line was lightweight and I loved the conditioner but the shampoo wasn’t for me. It cleansed well but left me feeling “squeeky” clean and I didn’t love it.
Maria B I hope yours lasts until you’re able to find one that’s great in the winter. It’s always so hard- as soon as we find the right products, the weather gets us 😭
I'm 15 and since my 7 years old I straight my hair so now I decided to stop and take care of my natural curls. But now my hair is so frizzy and I lost a big part of my curls, my hair is a complete mess, curly, wavy, straight... crazy! And when it dries it gains so much volume, and its puffy and I really don't like, so I just grab an elastic and tie up my hair in a bun... and when I release it... total disaster!!! I've been looking for videos to help me but I never found it until now! I think this video and your channel in particular can help me and my baby curly hair come back again! So I thank you soooo much! I'm gonna grab my computer now and do the quiz! I'm excited ❤️❤️ lots of Love Ps: love your curls such a perfection 😍😍😍
That was the clue that led to me admitting I had wavy hair. Many of my hair's are my mostly straight. Some are actual curls that, well, curl and are springy and everything. So if I just air dry, brush, and attempt to wear my heart "straight" in the PNW I just get weird springy bits all over and frizz galore. The routine I just mentioned worked just fine when I lived in a desert though.
would also like to know! even when wet, i get within/between curl frizz thats these thicker, tight corkscrew/zig zag curls when the rest of my head is just wavy. would like to know if thats indicative of solvable damage or inevitable hormonal changes 😩
I love the Kerastase elixir! It smells so great. I've always struggled with leave-in conditioners because they always felt too heavy for my waves. I've tried reducing the quantity, but it's as if it overloads my hair (especially if I apply curl cream and gel) Any tips? Or any brand that is light?
Thank you for this video. I’ve been struggling with frizz recently and wondering about how to fix it because I have watched a ton of videos that mention frizz in the past year. So this was perfect timing for this video. I also appreciate seeing your hair product free as it helped clarify frizz. I get some ideas of people telling but I understand better with examples so thank you.
Hey Mel thanks so much for this I just went curly about two weeks ago and am really struggling to get my hair it's between 2c and 3a and I've got some products but I still get some frizzy but it's so flat and straight at some parts and some curls are 3b underneath and then some are 2c it's so odd you are providing me with hope just subbed today thanks for being awesome
Please, please, please do a video on how to fix morning hair! Daughter tends to shower and have me help her with her hair in the evening, but we dont know hoe to make it look good the next morning! Also more hints on helping train different texture hair on the same head to curl! Have tried finger coiling, but it doesnt hold. Help!
Another great video with very helpful information! I think all of us with curly hair can appreciate the reminder to not be so hard on ourselves about frizz. Thanks for spreading the love!
Could you please do affordable curly hair products video? 😬I can't afford the Aveda or Curl Smith ones, I've seen your other comparison videos but I'd love a list of affordable drugstore ones if possible ❤
@Miss since this video was more than 2 years ago, she may not have seen the comment. She DOES respond if tbe comment comes shortly after she releases a new video. Mel has given us all so many valuable tips,please cut her some slack. :)
My favorite hair speciaIist! I watched the video twice. Always so entertaining, full of excellent content and very well made. We love you, Mell and Amanda. ✌🏼
Loving this video so much! It has made me realize I definitely need a hair cut, but I love my long hair. My hair is very fine and I get fairy knots very easily after day one. Any suggestions to help with those? Also, I love working out, but I do get sweaty and this impacts my frizz levels. Any suggestions to help with that would be great! Thanks so much!
You explain these products and ingredients so well. You are pretty, your hair is beautiful and you’re fun to watch. I love that you try multiple products and do 2-4 day wear tests too. TYVM
Love your videos! I'm definitely going to try those products! Sounds strange, but it's nice to know there are other girls out there finger coiling for 45 minutes after a shower- haha. My whole family has straight hair (even my twin) so I spent most of my life styling my hair so incorrectly. Curly hair is truly a lifestyle that I had to learn! Thanks for everything Mel
I actually really like your hair when it is frizzy. I'm starting to appreciate frizz all together. Am I crazy? x-) I think as long as hair is hydrated and healthy, a little frizz only adds to the unique texture. What do you think? Love your stuff, by the way! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
I love you and your videos Mel and you are a hair stylist, So please please please please take care of your roots! I hate seeing roots. Either keep the color up or take it back to the original color. I know at one time it was kind of the style, but it looks cheap to me, but I don't go by the trends or whatever is supposedly in style.
Mel you make finger coiling look so easy!! I’ve followed your tips and tricks from videos, and my hair just doesn’t respond like that. It doesn’t bounce or spring back up when I’ve finger coiled it, it stays long, drawn out and twisted. Help please. 😭🤞🏻
That happens to me too!!! I find if I twist too much it will just be a random twist lol. The way mine works best is if it’s wet when I finger coil and then still scrunch scrunch scrunch until it coils! If the scrunch doesn’t work I will literally wrap it around my finger like you would a wand and hold until it stays then release and not touch until it dries. I mainly only take the time do that on my front pieces though lol
My hair is totally a different texture than yours, but your videos are so thorough that it feels like your tips will help me too. I recently big chopped and some of my curls are clumped together and defined, but most of my hair is super frizzy. I wasn't sure if I needed a protein treatment or my hair is just dehydrated. I'm going to try these tips and hopefully I can figure out my hair better lol. Thank you Mel!
i've been trying to figure this stuff out ever since i started the curly girl method and i still can't seem to find out whether my hair is ACTUALLY damaged or not. I have never dyed it or bleached, i have used excessive heat on my hair maybe 6 times tops in my entire life, but it still kinda seems damaged somehow and therefore almost always frizzy. This also makes it harder to determine what porosity my hair is... do you have any sort of advice or tipes :)
So many videos out there for curly hair, your videos are my favorite. Not only have I learned to love and bring out out my curls (which I relaxed for years) but I love the personality. So sweet and funny. Keep up the videos. 😊❤️
You have no idea how obsessed I am with your videos. I just had a bayalage and the girl messed up my curls 😭😭😭 it is so damaged now that I didn't know what to do but watching your videos is giving me hope. Thanks!! ❤
Mel I have a question.. when I put product in my hair and I let it naturally air dry, I get 2b 2C waves. But when I put products in my hair and style my hair with DENMAN BRUSH, and also DIFFUSE, my curls are 3a 3b.. So I’m a little confuse as to what the natural texture of my hair actually is? Also why does this happen? Does the denman brush have the ability to change the natural texture of your hair ?
Too much product will weigh your hair down. Lightweight products can help with that. Denman will help distribute products evenly and remove fairy knots
New Sub here! I have decided to embrace my natural curly hair. Watching your videos has given me the "push" and "knowledge" to give it a go! Thank you Mell. You are amazing. ✂️➿☺️
Can a curly gal also have dryness if the ingredients may have drying effects from being used too often. Or will deep conditioning balance all that out. Hope that made sense lol thanks for another texture Tuesday 😁
Tbh the frizz looks so beautiful on you. Never thought I would perceive it that way, but you really have a healthy glow on you. I may try to embrace my frizz a little more now next time it pays me a visit :D
Frizz doesn't look that bad on type 3 or type 4 curls. It looks the worst when you have wavy or a mix of wavy and curly.
Yes! Mine is more like Roseanne Rosanna Danna's.
When I saw Mel's, my first thought if only my hair looked that 'bad' on a bad day.
I agree 😔
right i agree, type 3 or 4 is still nice , my hair is a mix of wavy and curly and its so bad frizzy
I feel it doesn't look "bad" to us is because most of us have lived with frizzy hair and didn't know it. At least for me, I thought type 4 hair simply grew that way until I learned about hair types, proper hair care and everything in between (I'm Type 4 btw).
I recently discovered my hair is type 4 after years if 3bc hair after I did a big chop
Love all these tips! If there’s one thing all curls have in common it’s FRIZZ. I love how you touched on how it’s normal 🙌🏼

Start small. One product at a time will help.

I wore my hair down, (something I rarely do). I was unimpressed by it that day. When it looks like yours or Amanda's, then I will be impressed. OMG Mell, I got so many compliments. It was sort of awkward. Thanks Mell and Amanda for helping those of us who need to embrace our curls. XOXOXO
I will definitely take the quiz. I can never get my curly hair to behave like I want it to. It has a mind of its own. It is my symbiont.
You are gorgeous! In my humble opinion, I feel like you would also be stunning with dark hair!💗
Hello
Honestly, this video was SO helpful. I stress over the wet frizz and try to correct and it just ends up looking horrible or overworked when dry. AND now I know what to look for and prevent properly - THANK YOU 🙌
Perfect timing as always. My hair has gotten frizzy on day 2 of these last 2 wash days. It looks good after I diffuse. In the morning I steam, but the curls start to pull apart and frizz out. Thank you ladies for reminding us that no matter what, our hairs are beautiful. 😁❤
You are hilarious and gorgeous. Thank you for your detailed guidance. After highlighting my hair, the highlighted portions barely even look wavy anymore, whereas the regrowth underneath looks luscious and curly. I was going to give up on highlights, but now I have hope. Thank you!
Thank you for this! I struggle with frizz in the back of the head a lot.
Can you also do a video on gels? Which gel with hard hold is good for fine hair, etc. You ladies rock!!!! 😁✌🏼
I have fine hair and I prefer mousse! The tgin honey mousse is great for moisture ok-ish for hold and the John Frieda mousse is great for hold but isn’t CGM friendly. Hope this helps 😊
Neha Mala Sen, Thanks! I have the John Frieda mousse and I really like it but I would like to try something with a little more hold.
Bonnie Emile maybe try the mousse gel mousse technique?
Neha Mala Sen, Gel and Mousse is a good combo! Thanks for your input!
By the way, I saw the TGIN Mousse is on sale at Ulta, if you want to restock. 👍🏼
Have I been sitting in bed for 45 minutes waiting for this video to upload? Yes,yes I have 🤣

13:25 great mini tutorial Fixing a frizzy patch
Honestly I love your hair when it’s frizzy! Like it’s a look... The volume and all that stuff... Kinda giving me Diana Ross vibes
Am I the only one who LOVES Mell's hair with frizz? I wished my hair had that volumeee
Yes!! I need to learn to embrace my frizz. I'm always fighting with my hair cuz of frizz, but it's natural. I love this video. Thanks Mell!!
can you do an updated winter/fall routine with your fav product recommendations? Love you Mell👩🏽🦱👩🏼🦱👩🏻🦱👩🏾🦱♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for becoming hair specialist... I doubt chances as a lead singer to become world-famous would be as good to be honest... Love your videos though and I always admire how easy you make wash day and styling look. Thanks a lot for all your advices. Stay healthy.
OMG!! I was so discouraged after my wash this weekend. Wet frizz and frizz in general is my struggle. This video could not have come to me at a better time. I love all your insight! Thank you Mel!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It's a very frustrating thing at times, having curly hair. Thank you so much!!
Omg! I totally love you! I feel like you are like my "curl mom". I needed this video and didn't even know it. I've always loved my curls, but taking care of them for real for real is not something I ever truly understood. I'm one of those that would be hard on myself. You educating us and showing us that "its all good" litterally had me tearing. This was like a virtual hug that its okay to "love it all... keep taking care of it and it will be alright." I appreciate you and what you bring to this social media table. Your bloopers having me dying and another reason why I watch bc you aren't afraid of showing the "sillyness" that happens behind the scenes. Its like the only reason why I like your blog or others because you its super relatable. Keep it up girl! You rock! 🚨🚨
The bloopers 😂😂 I’m dying!! That’s like after a certain time you start getting tired but like a burst of energy because your so tired 😂😂
Love the whole video but the bloopers are what really made it lol
My shero!!! Finally, really useful tips and encouragement for my high porosity 3C hair. Mell is marvelous, keep these videos coming!
I really appreciate this video! I’ve been concerned that I’ve had some frizz even fresh out of the shower so it’s nice to know that some wet frizz is normal☺️
I would also love to see the finger cooling method done on 2a/2b hair.... wondering if it will work!?!?
I mean, I almost cried of relief. My wet frizz is ridiculous, and I’ve only found one video that addressed wet frizz specifically. My finished hair is good though. Working on getting it back to great, thanks to you! Why can’t I rake product into my hair and manipulate the hairs like so many others? My curls break up, get stringy and even more frizzy. If I rake, I ended up having the wooooorst hair day. Thanks for all the education!
Jenable1 same here. Ugh.
This is one of the most informed videos I’ve seen in how to treat my hair x thank you so much x
My mane girl mell ❤❤ I happy to tell you that I finally found my perfect routine works for me
Thanks to educate me about my hair ❤❤😩
this makes me so happy to hear i am incredibly proud 😩
LOVING Mel & her channel! My Curl-World is REVIVED! Telling every curly headed chic I see about this channel. Thank you Mel for sharing your wisdom, silliness & CURL TipZ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Literally just bought olaplex today and then I watch this video and its talking about olaplex, was tempted to buy the 0 but I was already getting the shampoo and conditioner and the number 3 and then a leave in conditioner..I'll buy it next time though!
I get so frustrated with my frizz but I'm trying to not be so hard on myself. I tried to take the quiz but it just kept coming up with error messages so that was disappointing. Mell you have made such a big difference to mine and my twin seesters curly hair! You have helped us repair so much damage and get back to our healthy hair! Thank you!
I needed this so much Mell! Next wash day I’m going to look at my hair product free so I can diagnose the problem. I already know the top is the bad frizz and probably needs strengthening treatments.
I like her approach to systematically dry her hair.
I’m definitely going to add Olaplex #0 to my routine! I’m struggling a little with shampoos and conditioners right now and was wondering if you had any recommendations? I have treatments for when my hair needs this or that but I never know what a good all around everyday (but not really everyday lol) shampoo and conditioner would be.
I would LOVE to request a top favorites from you and Amanda! 🖤
Maria B I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling too. 😞 I feel like I’m wasting so much money on products that don’t work, I should have just bought the expensive stuff to begin with 😭
I second this! I’ve been trying out the verb ghost line but the conditioner isn’t exactly what my hair needs so I’m still looking! Following this in case they reply! 💞
Hadas Bernstein Im with you, the Ghost line was lightweight and I loved the conditioner but the shampoo wasn’t for me. It cleansed well but left me feeling “squeeky” clean and I didn’t love it.
Maria B I hope yours lasts until you’re able to find one that’s great in the winter. It’s always so hard- as soon as we find the right products, the weather gets us 😭
I'm 15 and since my 7 years old I straight my hair so now I decided to stop and take care of my natural curls. But now my hair is so frizzy and I lost a big part of my curls, my hair is a complete mess, curly, wavy, straight... crazy! And when it dries it gains so much volume, and its puffy and I really don't like, so I just grab an elastic and tie up my hair in a bun... and when I release it... total disaster!!! I've been looking for videos to help me but I never found it until now! I think this video and your channel in particular can help me and my baby curly hair come back again! So I thank you soooo much! I'm gonna grab my computer now and do the quiz! I'm excited ❤️❤️ lots of Love
Ps: love your curls such a perfection 😍😍😍
Started focusing more on my curly hair journey about 2 months ago! Your videos are such a great help! ❤
Your timing is impeccable.
Hey mel you’re so amazing!!! Question: is frizz that looks like a much tighter curl pattern normal?
Great question!!
I get a lot around my face!
That was the clue that led to me admitting I had wavy hair. Many of my hair's are my mostly straight. Some are actual curls that, well, curl and are springy and everything. So if I just air dry, brush, and attempt to wear my heart "straight" in the PNW I just get weird springy bits all over and frizz galore. The routine I just mentioned worked just fine when I lived in a desert though.
would also like to know! even when wet, i get within/between curl frizz thats these thicker, tight corkscrew/zig zag curls when the rest of my head is just wavy. would like to know if thats indicative of solvable damage or inevitable hormonal changes 😩
And here I was using leave in conditioner every day. I’m learning new things!
Such a helpful video!! I literally send any new curlies to your channel immediately ❤️❤️
You're amazing and so appreciated thank you so so so much
I wish more hair stylist were like you. Your always awesome
That sad moment when you're Moroccan, but you can't afford that Moroccan oil 😭
Considering having it sent over from the bled!
Just buy argan oil it’s a lot cheaper
I love Moroccan oil!!! I can't stand John Frieda Frizz-ease serum or Aussie Miracle curls serum. It's expensive af though.
well then DO NOT look up the price of the kerastase serum!
@@spannycat2 I like John Frieda on my hair
Mell I've said it before and I'll say it forever, you really are a curly hair goddess
I love the Kerastase elixir! It smells so great. I've always struggled with leave-in conditioners because they always felt too heavy for my waves. I've tried reducing the quantity, but it's as if it overloads my hair (especially if I apply curl cream and gel) Any tips? Or any brand that is light?
Thank you for this video. I’ve been struggling with frizz recently and wondering about how to fix it because I have watched a ton of videos that mention frizz in the past year. So this was perfect timing for this video.
I also appreciate seeing your hair product free as it helped clarify frizz. I get some ideas of people telling but I understand better with examples so thank you.
Hey Mel thanks so much for this I just went curly about two weeks ago and am really struggling to get my hair it's between 2c and 3a and I've got some products but I still get some frizzy but it's so flat and straight at some parts and some curls are 3b underneath and then some are 2c it's so odd you are providing me with hope just subbed today thanks for being awesome
Please, please, please do a video on how to fix morning hair! Daughter tends to shower and have me help her with her hair in the evening, but we dont know hoe to make it look good the next morning! Also more hints on helping train different texture hair on the same head to curl! Have tried finger coiling, but it doesnt hold. Help!
This is why I always try to save my wash day for Tuesday 😊
Another great video with very helpful information! I think all of us with curly hair can appreciate the reminder to not be so hard on ourselves about frizz. Thanks for spreading the love!
Could you please do affordable curly hair products video? 😬I can't afford the Aveda or Curl Smith ones, I've seen your other comparison videos but I'd love a list of affordable drugstore ones if possible ❤
No then she do'nt react. Typical😂 it's all about promoting that brand
Swavy Curly Courtney has a video @drugstore products that might help you.
@Miss since this video was more than 2 years ago, she may not have seen the comment. She DOES respond if tbe comment comes shortly after she releases a new video. Mel has given us all so many valuable tips,please cut her some slack. :)
Texture Tuesday is the best day out of the week!
I have to deal with frizz EVERY SINGLE DAY. Thaaank yoou💛
Nice hair
My favorite hair speciaIist! I watched the video twice. Always so entertaining, full of excellent content and very well made. We love you, Mell and Amanda. ✌🏼
Loving this video so much! It has made me realize I definitely need a hair cut, but I love my long hair. My hair is very fine and I get fairy knots very easily after day one. Any suggestions to help with those? Also, I love working out, but I do get sweaty and this impacts my frizz levels. Any suggestions to help with that would be great! Thanks so much!
Brush it.
You explain these products and ingredients so well. You are pretty, your hair is beautiful and you’re fun to watch. I love that you try multiple products and do 2-4 day wear tests too. TYVM
The is so perfectly timed it's actually spooky
Timely! I was just searching videos on "curly frizzy hair" and Mell comes through!
Love your videos! I'm definitely going to try those products! Sounds strange, but it's nice to know there are other girls out there finger coiling for 45 minutes after a shower- haha. My whole family has straight hair (even my twin) so I spent most of my life styling my hair so incorrectly. Curly hair is truly a lifestyle that I had to learn! Thanks for everything Mel
I just finished finger coiling! And it took me yes 45 mins lol. I also have a twin and her hair is more like 2b and mine is 3b/3c. 😆😆
I have been struggling with my hairline since it is so frizzy and fine i never realized it is normal. thank you for pointing it out 💞
Loving these tips and can’t wait to try and tame my frizz 🥰
Also, Mell that lipstick shade looks magical, please share what you used if you see this 🥺
I think you look great with the frizzy hair as well!!!
I actually really like your hair when it is frizzy. I'm starting to appreciate frizz all together. Am I crazy? x-) I think as long as hair is hydrated and healthy, a little frizz only adds to the unique texture. What do you think? Love your stuff, by the way! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
I love you and your videos Mel and you are a hair stylist, So please please please please take care of your roots! I hate seeing roots. Either keep the color up or take it back to the original color. I know at one time it was kind of the style, but it looks cheap to me, but I don't go by the trends or whatever is supposedly in style.
Mel you make finger coiling look so easy!! I’ve followed your tips and tricks from videos, and my hair just doesn’t respond like that. It doesn’t bounce or spring back up when I’ve finger coiled it, it stays long, drawn out and twisted. Help please. 😭🤞🏻
That happens to me too!!! I find if I twist too much it will just be a random twist lol. The way mine works best is if it’s wet when I finger coil and then still scrunch scrunch scrunch until it coils! If the scrunch doesn’t work I will literally wrap it around my finger like you would a wand and hold until it stays then release and not touch until it dries. I mainly only take the time do that on my front pieces though lol
Same here. I have 2b/3a long thick hair. Med density. Med porosity. No color dyes.
My hair is totally a different texture than yours, but your videos are so thorough that it feels like your tips will help me too. I recently big chopped and some of my curls are clumped together and defined, but most of my hair is super frizzy. I wasn't sure if I needed a protein treatment or my hair is just dehydrated. I'm going to try these tips and hopefully I can figure out my hair better lol. Thank you Mel!
i've been trying to figure this stuff out ever since i started the curly girl method and i still can't seem to find out whether my hair is ACTUALLY damaged or not. I have never dyed it or bleached, i have used excessive heat on my hair maybe 6 times tops in my entire life, but it still kinda seems damaged somehow and therefore almost always frizzy. This also makes it harder to determine what porosity my hair is... do you have any sort of advice or tipes :)
So many videos out there for curly hair, your videos are my favorite. Not only have I learned to love and bring out out my curls (which I relaxed for years) but I love the personality. So sweet and funny. Keep up the videos. 😊❤️
I am pretty sure the Sephora quiz is going to tell me that only Manes by Mell can help you! 😉 Just love Texture Tuesdays! ❤️
Man I loved that oil when I used to straighten my hair - always used to get compliments on how sleek and shiny it was! And it smelt sooo good!
THANK YOU MELL FOR THIS WEEKS VIDEO! 🧡 I needed to fix my HAGRID situation...I was literally about to go to the salon to chop my blonde off 😅
I feel you. I'm call my hair Hagrid hair too 🤦♀️😩
Mell, congratulations on your collaboration with Sephora 👍🏼👏🏻🥂!
Omg you sang “YOU NAMEEE IT!” ❤️
You have no idea how obsessed I am with your videos. I just had a bayalage and the girl messed up my curls 😭😭😭 it is so damaged now that I didn't know what to do but watching your videos is giving me hope. Thanks!! ❤
Mel I have a question..
when I put product in my hair and I let it naturally air dry, I get 2b 2C waves.
But when I put products in my hair and style my hair with DENMAN BRUSH, and also DIFFUSE, my curls are 3a 3b..
So I’m a little confuse as to what the natural texture of my hair actually is?
Also why does this happen? Does the denman brush have the ability to change the natural texture of your hair ?
Too much product will weigh your hair down. Lightweight products can help with that. Denman will help distribute products evenly and remove fairy knots
New Sub here! I have decided to embrace my natural curly hair. Watching your videos has given me the "push" and "knowledge" to give it a go! Thank you Mell. You are amazing. ✂️➿☺️
Can a curly gal also have dryness if the ingredients may have drying effects from being used too often. Or will deep conditioning balance all that out. Hope that made sense lol thanks for another texture Tuesday 😁
You can also clarify your hair to remove excess buildup
Tbh the frizz looks so beautiful on you. Never thought I would perceive it that way, but you really have a healthy glow on you. I may try to embrace my frizz a little more now next time it pays me a visit :D
