I've tested countless things. The sole things that really worked in my case: A good diet, decent sleeping timings, moving your body at least for 20 mins, eating right, using quality shampoo and oil. I use only liiitleextra cocooionn shampoo with hair oil for this reason and it does the job. The hairfall was under control with it.
I was looking for hair oil which is not too sticky and contains natural ingredients. The liittllextra coocoonion oil is excellent so I will order it again. The natural ingredients, such as coconut and rosemary, reduced my hair fall.
All this time I felt like I was breaking a rule using clarifying shampoo for every wash, but I only wash every few days and I use a LOT of product, so my hair was just a lot nicer to me once I started doing that. Thanks for the confirmation!
Thank you for confirming its okay to use clarifying shampoos with sulfphates. We're so often told as curlies to not use sulfphates but recently I started using it again and my hair has never looked better! For reference, I have thin, low perosity hair, only wash twice a week and workout heavily so there's a lot of buildup!
This video might be the world’s best PSA for anyone who wants to have healthy and clean scalp and hair! So much information out there that doesn’t help but this video is amazing!
Some of my clients reported me, that they had issues with sulfate free shampoos. They had the feeling of having residues from the shampoos, kind of a greasy clogg. So I advised them to prefoam the shampoo by rubbing it hard between the hands to get a fine lather before applying it to the scalp. And this worked great. It distribustes much better so the needed less product und it rinsed out thoughly, no residues left. Maybe that can help some of your viewers too. I do that for every foaming product now and it also works very well for facial cleansers. My skin never felt so clean 😊
Mell!! When you talked about chelating shampoos I just knew I needed this! My water is so hard and I could just never seem to fix my hair no matter what I tried. So I got that Malibu product you recommended (and a shower filter 😉) and my hair is so much better! It doesn’t stick together like Velcro anymore after cleansing and detangling! 😅🙌🏽
HI! Could you maybe do a video on how to part the hair or do a “no-parting”, because I don’t know what’s wrong with my hair but I can never get it to part differently than in the middle.
That advice about the purple shampoo. I've been questioning in my head for months if I should be putting it on my scalp when it's my ends that are colored. Thank you!! I feel confident to go ahead and use both shampoo's and only using the purple on my ends and it will most definitely make it last longer!
i cannot tell you how much i owe you!! i foundd yor channel a week ago , and BOOOYYY did my life change with it!!! i have been scared of transitioning for yeaaars, thinking that's IMPOSSIBLE to style curly hair, and one day there you were.. i shampooed, conditioned and styled the way you taught me (oh so well!) and I WANT TO KISS YOUUUU!!!! 😂 thank you soo much!! anf you're so funny!!
Mel, you got me to realize, that I needed Moisture for my Spider Web fine, Dense Hair!!! I use a clarifying shampoo once a Month. OK, now I have to find a Chelating Shampoo!!! Thank You, for that info!!! We have "Hard Water"!
Hi Mell!! Can we see a video of Amanda doing her long curly hair routine by herself, Idk why I end up twisting my hands while styling would love to see her doing her routine by herself!!! XOXO❤️
great video Mel. also can I just say,,,, LOVING the hairdo w the scarf. would love a video on how to style hair using a scarf/anything else in a way that protects the curls, esp for day 3/4/5 hair. love you
I recently stopped coloring my grey hair. My beautiful curls are not so curly now, and frizz is what I am fighting. Can you do a video on naturally gray hair and how to treat it? Thanks so much!
Absolutely I’d love to, working on finding a model/guest to demonstrate how to treat greys! You’re likely experiencing these things because GREY (not white hair) has more protein and can be more resistant aka lower porosity especially than when you were colouring. I plan on talking more about low porosity soon to share how to moisturize it which will help tame the frizz! 💖
I think a co-wash is great for when I need to wash on day 2 or in the summer when I swim most days (of course, paired with more clarifying options!). But yeah, if I use it alone by scalp hates me!
Hi Mell! Amazing video as always 😄 I have managed to convince my mother to try and revive her curl pattern and it seems to be working so far. 🤩She has quite the amount of waves and thin hair, who knows she might have 3a curls like me? 🤔 Anyways, I was wondering if you maybe had some tips and tricks for grey/going grey curly hair? Many thanks 😁💞
I really need a better shampoo for wavy dry hair. Some are too stripping they make my hair frizzy. Some dont cleanse well or leave residue. I feel like most sulfate free ones leave scalp residue and sulfate ones make my hair poofy. Any wavy girl suggestions for a good one ?? Ugh.
Fellow wavy (2c) here👋 Have you tried the Jessicurl gentle lather shampoo? It’s cleansing but also moisturizing and it’s sulfate and silicone free. Also Giovanni shampoos are sulfate and silicone free but also very cleansing almost clarifying
can you make a video about protective hairstyles that aren’t braids and such and that are simple ? i have 3B curls and i live in toronto so yak, we’re in lockdown, so my hair is getting damaged just staying at home, especially since i can’t/ don’t know how to braid my hair. should i put products/ oils everytime i do a protective style?
Yessss scientify Mell!! Thanks for this video!once again you've helped me understand the difference between shampoos and times 2 use it. Once again your curls look amazing 👏😍
I watched that dude's video who hadn't use shampoo in five years and it's not that I have a problem with that, it's his hair, it's that he threw shampoo and conditioner into the "it's all the same" bucket, which is not true. Yeah, using stinky dollar holla SLS shampoo is going to be hard on your hair, but it's literally not the only option.
Can you please do a review on Calia Naturals or KORRES Aloe line? They are clean products and though they are sulfate free I feel as though they clarify my hair and the Calia Naturals shampoo is definitely clear.
My hair is both thick and fine...so I get lots of flyaways, but also dry ends...Products can make my skin break out when it is warm and sunny, on the back of my neck and around the hairline, so I need a clarifying shampoo..
Thank you!!! This video has finally answered my question as to whether of not my anti-thinning shampoo is cleansing or not. It feels like it is but from the ingredients I couldn't tell.
I have colored hair but also curly hair and I never know whether to use a curly hair shampoo or a colored hair shampoo. What should I do ? Are curly shampoos really working ?
My hair can go 2-3 weeks w/o washing and still not be or look gressy but it's not dry either🤷🏼♀️. On wash day I usually use briogeo scalp revival mixed with either hask purifying or ogx teatree mint shampoo after I use Jessicurl gentle lather(which is great on it's own but bc I don't wash often it needs some help). I also have been trying out some of the shea moisture products which are amazing 🖤
this is perfect timing! my hair has been really disliking the hard water at my uni town, I've tried rinsing with filtered water but it isn't cutting it. Guess I should start hunting for a chelating shampoo!
Use a mix 😆 cleansing conditioner (goldwell kerasilk) in-between low poo (olaplex) that I use weekly. Every couple weeks switch out olaplex for fanola free purple to tone my highlights and give my scalp a more thorough scrub. I have fine wavy hair x
Omg so much needed this video!!! What about like thickening shampoo? I have really fine hair and hair loss and using the aveda invati line.. but once every week I use the curlsmith detox kit. Since I wash my day every 5 days. What is your advice? Is it a special treatment shampoo?
This was so informative! I'd love to see a video about curly hairstyles that help to hide thinning hair. As someone who struggles with premature thinning (as a woman) it can be hard to find hair cuts and styles to hide the thinning.
Help! My question is why do I have a top layer of hair that dries super frizzy and flyaway and straighter than the rest of my hair? The hair underneath the top layer is all nicely coiled. It's a bizarre combination that looks awful. I air dry my hair and no chemical treatments and no swimming. Edited to add that friends and even acquaintances often tell me my hair looks like it needs brushing but brushing doesn't help.
Mel has some other great videos, where she explains the type of ingredients in your products (especially the styling ones) that you should avoid or use to fight frizz. I think you will find them helpful.😊
Can you do a video diving deeper into demi permanent hair dye? I don't know if there are any limiting factors to using other products after because it is depositing colour into hair. Do other products no longer work as well, like adding permanent dye when the demi fades, or not liking the results. The concept is so confusing to me but I want to give it ago to hide greys without sabotaging all my curly hair efforts.
Love the video, for example I notice that on the warmer weather I do not need to clarify as often as in winter but I need a shampoo that is lighter because if not my poor hair is weight down...so I love to keep learning new stuff from the seesters.
Hey Mell! I really appreciate your videos! Awesome. Fun. And informative! I was wondering, as a Lush fan myself, have you done any videos for or tried any Lush products? Thank you!
What if u swim everyday but have product buildup and oily scalp, how often do u chelate? If u clarify once a week what other shampoo do u use unless clarifying is all u need?
There’s so many at the drugstore that are silicone based and super super effective! They definitely don’t have to be expensive💖 I did a live video you can rewatch on amazon here: www.amazon.com/live/broadcast/94f983db-eab3-4dee-b80d-78624a513c9b
Hi Mell! I got my hair bayalaged from dark dark brown to blonde the other day 🤗 I saw your video from 4 months ago on how to preserve color etc. In that video you talk about avoiding to get your hair wet too much. Does this mean you also recommend not to use water to refresh curls in between washes?
Happy Texture Tuesday! Thanks for blessing us with your expertise! I guess I need a chelating shampoo 😀 would have never known if it wasn’t for you! ☺️ (Hope you liked my rhyme 😆)
Tips for someone with shorter hair wanting to get their natural curls after pretty much damaging it since they were 12 not me,,,,,, asking for a friend definitely O:-) ??
Hello! So being a curly hair i have found that I am not taking care of my hair properly. There is a lot of things I have realized that aren't doing my hair any good through watching your videos. I want to fix it but I really don't have any idea where to start. Maybe you have some tips for this or you already have a video on starting a curlyhair journey?
Hi Mell! Just wondered if you know of any brands for semi permanent hair dyes that don't destroy your hair? I live in the UK so I might not be able to get the brand's you recommend but I'll try to find them! Thanks!!!
I wish more of hair RUclips was willing to listen to this science. We'd all be better off with understanding the type of shampoo we need and when and washed consistently.
Mel, what about grey/silver curly/wavies? Is purple shampoo near scalp where there are a lot of white and grey okay? follow up with a gentle cleanser like innersense?
Natural grey and silver will usually only turn yellow as it grows due to heat styling and staining so no the purple shampoo still doesn’t need to go on the scalp BUT it’s not bad to, at least not with the Fanola one it’s perfectly pH balanced to the scalp and hair. Switching up with another cleaner like the innersense is perfect 👍
I find fanola shampoo cleans my hair really well as a clarifying shampoo! I live in a hard water area and have fine hair! I use it once a week to refresh! Tip tho never buy fanola from an unauthorised retailer! So many fakes out there!
You're my go to girl. fun, informative and lots more! Have you tried Virtue Labs or Moroccan oil products? Would love videos on those!?! I used to have hair alllmost like yours. Stress & health changed that & I've lost a lot of hair... Then 8 months ago bleached it from natural dark brown to a medium blonde. Less caramelized than yours. Tried many salon products which did help significantly but looking for it's partner, alternative. As you know, your hair needs change on a weekly basis. Having that balance is key. Help!?!
i honestly didn’t know there was a separate kind of shampoo for swimming. i cant wait to go swimming again cuz it’s been a while since i been and now that i know this, i can properly take care of my hair when i hit the pool again. :)
I know this is random but does our hair porosity have any effect on what shampoos we use? I have low porosity hair that happens to be medium thickness. Should I be using something more moisturizing? Or something with more protein also, Mel. Can you make a video on shampoos directed toward hair loss? Do they actually work
Mel! This was very helpful! I would say that we have a very similar curl pattern, and I am finding that my scalp is ready to do be washed by day 4-5 as I experience a lot of itchiness. I am also pretty active with working out but living in Toronto (heyyyy girl), I stay home to work with occasionally going outside. SAYING ALLLLLAA THAT to ask you, what are your thoughts about protective styling? I do like to put braids in once a year, and I was wondering if you have any information on preparing hair and scalp for a protective style (braids) to last about 2-3 weeks (my scalp just cried at the thought of not washing it for 2-3 weeks lool). But seriously, what are some precautions to take? Can my hair fall out doing protective styles (specifically, braids)?
Yes actually some people will do deep conditioning treatments before shampooing, but I would recommend searching for volumizing shampoo/conditioners, they exist! Aveda, Verb, and AG all have very good ones!
Mell, absolutely love your videos. I have recommend many of my curly friends to check out your videos for transitioning their hair. I do have a question though, what are your thoughts on Shampoo and Conditioning Bars? I would like to see a product review of Viori specifically.
Another great video! According to the chart I should get a clarifying shampoo BUT I do have hard water. So should I just get a chelating shampoo or is there a clarifying shampoo that can help with hard water ?
I feel like my hair never gets fully cleansed after shampooing, I still have flakes right after my shower, it is so frustrating!! It's like all the flakes are lifted off the scalp but stay in the hair, and I usually shampoo twice!
It could be very dry scalp. I've had that problem. I kept thinking my hair and head wasn't clean. I started using a gentler shampoo. Also used hot oil as a mask
Hi , mell I have a question is it ok to wash ur hair on day 2 if it has product built up ? When should i wash when I accidentally use too much product and my hair looks bad yucky and gross , I don’t want hygral fatigue cuz last wash day i washed again on day 2 because if the same issue and yeah so i braided my hair to try and stretch it
Are you sure that it’s product buildup? It might just be that your products flake up too much or they’re too heavy for your hair and weight it down. You might also just need to use less product. I used the Aztec Healing Clay since my hair gets buildup and gets quite oily within 4 days and it completely changed my hair!! My hair felt super clean compared to a clarifying shampoo and my hair became less oily and i had less product buildup. However, you should only do this 2-3 times a year
Yh cuz i’ve used the same convo’s before and the way it feels , i had applied to much gel and cream ik this cuz i applied more than usual cuz i had to go outside in the humid tropical heat do to shores and since my hair is very dry i mix a lil cream with my gel to make sort of like a cream gel and and normally my hair likes this , but i had applied that mixture twice when I didn’t need to and had mixed in a bit of cream with my oil to make it thicker and easier to put through my hair as it didn’t have much silicone and didn’t glide over the hair like other serums im used to
@@lyanagonzalez5599 I also live in hot humid weather (Miami FL) and my favorite gel that never gives up on me is the Paul Mitchell Super Clean Sculpting Gel. It tames all my frizz and leaves a crunchy cast and is high hold. Only downside is that it can flake up in the hair but you can easily fix that with some water. It’s a protein-based gel
Hi Mell! how many of the listed chelating ingredients should I look for in a shampoo to make sure it does it's job? I found one, but I want to be sure that it is effective. Thanks! :):)
I've tested countless things. The sole things that really worked in my case: A good diet, decent sleeping timings, moving your body at least for 20 mins, eating right, using quality shampoo and oil. I use only liiitleextra cocooionn shampoo with hair oil for this reason and it does the job. The hairfall was under control with it.

For reference, I have thin, low perosity hair, only wash twice a week and workout heavily so there's a lot of buildup!
As a chemist, I love the ingredients breakdown.. very thorough and accurate 👍🏽
Thank you! It’s hard to break these things down simply, I’m sure you know how complex these things are! Thanks for watching 💖
@@ManesByMell normally, when I explain things to people, they're lost by the 3rd sentence 😂
Have you ever tried a bar shampoo and conditioner? That would be something I would love to watch
Me too. I keep getting ads for them.
She has a mini review of the vida bars on her instagram
I love them! You need to find the one for you like shampoo. If you don’t like them you can just use them for your body! To travel it’s amazing
From Lush, they’re amazing!
I have them ! And I honestly love em, my hair is always de tangled and it makes it much quicker! But of course it depends of everyone :)
I have never found someone more thorough or funny while explaining hair care to me!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND ALL THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HOLD.
This video might be the world’s best PSA for anyone who wants to have healthy and clean scalp and hair! So much information out there that doesn’t help but this video is amazing!
I would love to see a video about haircare on vacation. What products when swimming in salt water everyday, constant sun and heat.. etc
Some of my clients reported me, that they had issues with sulfate free shampoos. They had the feeling of having residues from the shampoos, kind of a greasy clogg. So I advised them to prefoam the shampoo by rubbing it hard between the hands to get a fine lather before applying it to the scalp. And this worked great. It distribustes much better so the needed less product und it rinsed out thoughly, no residues left. Maybe that can help some of your viewers too. I do that for every foaming product now and it also works very well for facial cleansers. My skin never felt so clean 😊
Color Wow's shampoo rinses completely clean. A lot of shampoos leave residues whether sulfate or sulfate free, even the clarifying ones.
Mell!! When you talked about chelating shampoos I just knew I needed this! My water is so hard and I could just never seem to fix my hair no matter what I tried. So I got that Malibu product you recommended (and a shower filter 😉) and my hair is so much better! It doesn’t stick together like Velcro anymore after cleansing and detangling! 😅🙌🏽
HI! Could you maybe do a video on how to part the hair or do a “no-parting”, because I don’t know what’s wrong with my hair but I can never get it to part differently than in the middle.

Your bangs look so so fabulous!!!
I have colored hair but also curly hair and I never know whether to use a curly hair shampoo or a colored hair shampoo. What should I do ? Are curly shampoos really working ?
Shampoo is probably most important thing for curly hair mine grows more using shampoo and conditioner and oils. About 1inch this month alone
Ugh. My curly hair Only grows like 3 inches a year. Super slow growing. My moms hair also grows really slow.
what shampoo are you using? im struggling to find one that would help with growth😩
You wash shampoo off. A good conditioner or leave in product is far more important because if you want hair to be healthy it needs to be conditioned
My hair can go 2-3 weeks w/o washing and still not be or look gressy but it's not dry either🤷🏼♀️. On wash day I usually use briogeo scalp revival mixed with either hask purifying or ogx teatree mint shampoo after I use Jessicurl gentle lather(which is great on it's own but bc I don't wash often it needs some help).

Does using a clarity if shampoo undo the benefits of a prewash treatment??? 🤔

What happened to the subtitles? I always watch these videos when I'm blow drying my hair. ☹️
Happy Texture Tuesday!! Rewatching cause I was distracted with the live chat!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘
Perfect timing. Just bought blue shampoo to tone down my ever brassier hair. I don’t think it worked, so thank you!
Wow, I love your new hair colour on you mell it looks really good🥰

Help! My question is why do I have a top layer of hair that dries super frizzy and flyaway and straighter than the rest of my hair? The hair underneath the top layer is all nicely coiled. It's a bizarre combination that looks awful. I air dry my hair and no chemical treatments and no swimming. Edited to add that friends and even acquaintances often tell me my hair looks like it needs brushing but brushing doesn't help.
adding more of your styling product to the frizzy areas and diffuse your hair to dry. Air drying can create more frizz!
Mel has some other great videos, where she explains the type of ingredients in your products (especially the styling ones) that you should avoid or use to fight frizz. I think you will find them helpful.😊

There’s so many at the drugstore that are silicone based and super super effective! They definitely don’t have to be expensive💖 I did a live video you can rewatch on amazon here: www.amazon.com/live/broadcast/94f983db-eab3-4dee-b80d-78624a513c9b
NEVER A DULL VIDEO!!!! ❤
Hi Mell! I got my hair bayalaged from dark dark brown to blonde the other day 🤗 I saw your video from 4 months ago on how to preserve color etc. In that video you talk about avoiding to get your hair wet too much. Does this mean you also recommend not to use water to refresh curls in between washes?
Happy Texture Tuesday! Thanks for blessing us with your expertise! I guess I need a chelating shampoo 😀 would have never known if it wasn’t for you! ☺️
(Hope you liked my rhyme 😆)
Tips for someone with shorter hair wanting to get their natural curls after pretty much damaging it since they were 12 not me,,,,,, asking for a friend definitely O:-) ??
I love your videos, your fun approach makes it easy to learn. Thank you 😊. X
Hello! So being a curly hair i have found that I am not taking care of my hair properly. There is a lot of things I have realized that aren't doing my hair any good through watching your videos. I want to fix it but I really don't have any idea where to start. Maybe you have some tips for this or you already have a video on starting a curlyhair journey?
Hi Mell! Just wondered if you know of any brands for semi permanent hair dyes that don't destroy your hair? I live in the UK so I might not be able to get the brand's you recommend but I'll try to find them! Thanks!!!
I wish more of hair RUclips was willing to listen to this science. We'd all be better off with understanding the type of shampoo we need and when and washed consistently.
Mel, what about grey/silver curly/wavies? Is purple shampoo near scalp where there are a lot of white and grey okay? follow up with a gentle cleanser like innersense?
Natural grey and silver will usually only turn yellow as it grows due to heat styling and staining so no the purple shampoo still doesn’t need to go on the scalp BUT it’s not bad to, at least not with the Fanola one it’s perfectly pH balanced to the scalp and hair. Switching up with another cleaner like the innersense is perfect 👍
I find fanola shampoo cleans my hair really well as a clarifying shampoo! I live in a hard water area and have fine hair! I use it once a week to refresh! Tip tho never buy fanola from an unauthorised retailer! So many fakes out there!
I’m going to Egypt for a month to see family and I’m going to be swimming a lot so what shampoos and hair care would keep my curly hair healthy
You're my go to girl. fun, informative and lots more! Have you tried Virtue Labs or Moroccan oil products? Would love videos on those!?! I used to have hair alllmost like yours. Stress & health changed that & I've lost a lot of hair... Then 8 months ago bleached it from natural dark brown to a medium blonde. Less caramelized than yours. Tried many salon products which did help significantly but looking for it's partner, alternative. As you know, your hair needs change on a weekly basis. Having that balance is key. Help!?!
i honestly didn’t know there was a separate kind of shampoo for swimming. i cant wait to go swimming again cuz it’s been a while since i been and now that i know this, i can properly take care of my hair when i hit the pool again. :)
can you make a video recommending products in all of these categories??
I know this is random but does our hair porosity have any effect on what shampoos we use? I have low porosity hair that happens to be medium thickness. Should I be using something more moisturizing? Or something with more protein also, Mel. Can you make a video on shampoos directed toward hair loss? Do they actually work
Thank you again for another video I was waiting for!!! ❤️ You rock!
Oh I’m so glad! Thanks for watching!💖
Mel! This was very helpful! I would say that we have a very similar curl pattern, and I am finding that my scalp is ready to do be washed by day 4-5 as I experience a lot of itchiness. I am also pretty active with working out but living in Toronto (heyyyy girl), I stay home to work with occasionally going outside. SAYING ALLLLLAA THAT to ask you, what are your thoughts about protective styling? I do like to put braids in once a year, and I was wondering if you have any information on preparing hair and scalp for a protective style (braids) to last about 2-3 weeks (my scalp just cried at the thought of not washing it for 2-3 weeks lool). But seriously, what are some precautions to take? Can my hair fall out doing protective styles (specifically, braids)?
For very fine AND thin hair that's VERY easily weighed down, is it a reasonable approach to shampoo the roots AFTER conditionining the hair?
Yes actually some people will do deep conditioning treatments before shampooing, but I would recommend searching for volumizing shampoo/conditioners, they exist! Aveda, Verb, and AG all have very good ones!
Man I’m so confused 😭 clarifying but regular?
Mell, absolutely love your videos. I have recommend many of my curly friends to check out your videos for transitioning their hair.
I do have a question though, what are your thoughts on Shampoo and Conditioning Bars? I would like to see a product review of Viori specifically.
Another great video! According to the chart I should get a clarifying shampoo BUT I do have hard water. So should I just get a chelating shampoo or is there a clarifying shampoo that can help with hard water ?
I feel like my hair never gets fully cleansed after shampooing, I still have flakes right after my shower, it is so frustrating!! It's like all the flakes are lifted off the scalp but stay in the hair, and I usually shampoo twice!
It could be very dry scalp. I've had that problem. I kept thinking my hair and head wasn't clean. I started using a gentler shampoo. Also used hot oil as a mask
@@Chloe299XxX you think? But my hair feels greasy 😫
Love the Aveda rosemary mint shampoo😍. I'd like to try Malibu c for chelating shampoo
Hi , mell I have a question is it ok to wash ur hair on day 2 if it has product built up ? When should i wash when I accidentally use too much product and my hair looks bad yucky and gross , I don’t want hygral fatigue cuz last wash day i washed again on day 2 because if the same issue and yeah so i braided my hair to try and stretch it
Are you sure that it’s product buildup? It might just be that your products flake up too much or they’re too heavy for your hair and weight it down. You might also just need to use less product. I used the Aztec Healing Clay since my hair gets buildup and gets quite oily within 4 days and it completely changed my hair!! My hair felt super clean compared to a clarifying shampoo and my hair became less oily and i had less product buildup. However, you should only do this 2-3 times a year
Yh cuz i’ve used the same convo’s before and the way it feels , i had applied to much gel and cream ik this cuz i applied more than usual cuz i had to go outside in the humid tropical heat do to shores and since my hair is very dry i mix a lil cream with my gel to make sort of like a cream gel and and normally my hair likes this , but i had applied that mixture twice when I didn’t need to and had mixed in a bit of cream with my oil to make it thicker and easier to put through my hair as it didn’t have much silicone and didn’t glide over the hair like other serums im used to
@@lyanagonzalez5599 I also live in hot humid weather (Miami FL) and my favorite gel that never gives up on me is the Paul Mitchell Super Clean Sculpting Gel. It tames all my frizz and leaves a crunchy cast and is high hold. Only downside is that it can flake up in the hair but you can easily fix that with some water. It’s a protein-based gel
Always stay for the bloopers 😂
Hi Mell! how many of the listed chelating ingredients should I look for in a shampoo to make sure it does it's job? I found one, but I want to be sure that it is effective. Thanks! :):)
