Your channel has helped me more than most channels.
I'm glad i could help!!
@@ManesByMell What was the other video you did (NOT Verb the OTHER ONE!) on a new product review on a clarifying / reset bundle PLEASE?!?
more than most channels COMBINED
..and she hilarious 💖
NO, in this one she didn't help people like me with an over-moisturized problem 😢
The curly girl method gave me hygral fatigue. It took months and a haircut to go back to normal. Before the curly girl method, I had never used a deep conditioner before and I didn't need to because my hair is very fine. Using moisturising dcs and only gentle shampoos ruined my hair. Also, the silicone I was using was helping to stop too much moisture from getting into my hair. That was taken away as well. CG method isn't for everyone
Maybe you need to see Mels video "Why I don't follow the CG method"
Tell me more what your hair did when it was in hygral fatigue? What did it do while wet and then dry?
The CG Method did the EXACT same thing to me
I'm thinking about this too. I never did any deep conditioner or apply special products to my hair when I was a child/teenager and my curls were popping up, after almost 3 years on the CGM I got a severe damage on my scalp plus the horrible dandruff :/, I was around 3 months on treatment (special shampoos for that), I'm ok now after 6 months but I have to use shampoos with sulfates cause those gentle shampoos ruined my scalp. Now it's not itchy, not burning sensation and 0 dandruff. Even though my hair looks healthy, my curls did not come back to those more 3b I got when I was a child, I have more from 2b-3a and kinda loose pattern, I do not know if it's due to that, but now I'm reducing deep conditioning, I'm not putting oils on my hair and I'm avoiding products with shea butter/coconut oil or any heavy oil, I feel my hair tends to be more straight with all these super hidratation. I will see the progress, but I'm happy my scalp is ok now :)
My hair is fine too!
Wavy 2a/2b here... Same thing. Too much deep conditioning. Was never warned that too much conditioning could be a bad thing; it was all "good" every time I read guides. Sigh.
People tell me: “you’re so lucky you have curly hair because its so low maintenance!” I’m like 🤨if you only knew lol.
Exactly! People say to me "You must wash it, shake it and it falls into place. So easy!" hahahahahaha! No
Yesssss, what a joke.
Actually, I've seen that people who say that are usually the ones with some sort of wave to their hair that think their hair is straight. That's why they think their "straight hair" is so high maintenance, because they have to do a lot of things to keep it straight
Who would EVER say that🧐🤨
Right??!😹😭
As a former swimmer, hearing that getting your hair wet and dry over and over again causes damage really explains a lot 😅 I’m sorry hair
Sylvia Hoffmann the chlorine isn’t good either
Sylvia Hoffmann I get it it’s kinda annoying, especially since they put extra chlorine cause there are so many other kids going in the pool.
+Sylvia Hoffman me2 I would put conditioner in before swimming but I just got tired of the way chlorine made my whole body feel. But I miss going for a swim 😔
I know right! Sometimes, when I was young, I would feel lazy so I wouldn't wash my hair for a couple of hours after swimming.
Sylvia, did you use a swim hair cap when you were a swimmer?
Please do a video with Amanda on how she refreshes and makes her hair last! It's a struggle getting loose curls to last more than a few days, please send tips!
Rachel Gellman oh my goodness yes!!!
Loose curls don't last. Simple. Any curl specialist will tell you that. Tighter curls refresh and last longe than loser ones especially if the hair is fine. I learned that from another curly I follow
@@Palmundo91 In my experience that is very true. I have to re-style my hair every day. Its annoying but it is what it it is.
Palmundo91 personally my loose curls last until I wash my hair with no refreshing or sleeping with my hair up or anything. They may not be wash day tight, but they don’t totally deflate, they might just lengthen a bit
@@shcheerchic1011 you are blessed!
Hey girl, great video but I did want to say that you CAN reverse this condition, I had this happen to me at the very beginning of my CG journey when my hair was virgin and it took me 3 months but I got my spirals back and no more gummy texture. Personally I just stopped washing it for like weeks at a time and any time I did wash it, I covered my hair in straight up EGG lol and had it sit for hours before I shampooed. I also made sure to diffuse my hair with some heat, because I found the quicker I got the moisture out, the more my curls recovered. Hopefully this will help someone else! I have 3c hair with high porosity :)
Thank you so much! I'm gonna try this
Omg I thought I was really gonna have to cut my hair
I don't understand this gummy texture I keep hearing about 🤷🏼
@@palestar828 I didn't either in the beginning, and it took a while for me to realize that my hair had a gummy texture. While wet, if your hair seems to stay stuck together and is hard to separate into different parts (not tangled, just sticking together), it probably has a gummy texture. If you touch it and it feels very soft and light in weight, almost as if it isn't even hair, this could be a sign as well.
@@nourhammouri3961 that's how my hair is. It sticks together like clumps, but only when wet. The weirdest thing is that I JUST got out of the shower about two months ago and checked my phone and saw this... Maybe it's a sign lol. But my hair hasn't been sticking together too much lately. Since I've been starting this whole moisture/protein thing, it's literally been falling out like crazy. More than it ever has. I mean huge balls of hair are coming out in the shower. You would think after taking care of it, it would be acting and getting better, but I sware when I was doing nothing to it, but washing and conditioning with whatever products, it wasn't falling out like this. Weird. Tonight I just took a normal shower- no masks, no treatments... Didn't pay attention to anything in the ingredients list. Seems like the more I take care of it, the worse it gets and seems to act. 🤷🏼♀️
Ugh! This must be why my hair got all limp and rough over the last few years. The worse it got the more I tried to go hard with the deep conditioner! Thanks Mel
Also your makeup is ON POINT sis!
I’m surprised how you don’t have million subscribers. This is by far the best channel in RUclips.
So that's why my hair always seemed dry after deep conditioning! I was leaving it on too long thinking it would give deeper moisture. Thank you for making this!
For future videos, one about making curl pattern more uniform would be helpful. I have ringlets in the front of my hair and the back is much looser.
I would LOVE a video about dealing with hair loss and growing your hair back. A video about how to gain not only length but also the thickness of your hair back. Would highly appreciate it.
Your videos are literally the best. For years I’ve been completely re-wetting and conditioning my hair in the shower every day because that’s what I learned from the curly girl handbook. I got exactly one year of amazing curls by doing that, and then since then I’ve lost almost all my curl pattern, had weird puffy frizz, breakage, and crazy loss of density. Here I’ve been desperately trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with my hair and I think this video finally answered it for me....
Mell could you possibly help us girls out there who have curls at the front but waves at the back of the head and the curls start about an inch from the roots? Because that’s a problem 😭
Unushah Khan Id love that.
Unushah Khan me too my hair is curly on top and wavy to almost straight at the bottom
I have the same problem. 😓😢
SAMEEE
I just commented about that! I feel like I have two totally different curl patterns, thick and tight in some places and then thin and wavy. Its so hard.
Most vid hosts push products and techniques. As a retired hairdresser, I think really, really enjoy your vids because you EXPLAIN things to people who don't understand the WHY. You don't just preach, you TEACH. Girl, you're awesome.
I just love you. How you educate is priceless and truly sticks with the learner.
Oh man, my hair has been acting off lately. Lots of long wavy strands hiding inside of my coils. Now I’m wondering if I have any of these issues. My curls haven’t been coming out as defined lately either. My ends always end up frizzy. I feel like part of it is due to the DevaCurl damage but another part of me also thinks it’s because I deep condition every wash day... maybe I should move that to every other week.... This is definitely info I needed! Anyone else want Mell to start doing personal video chats so she can walk through some of our own hair issues with us? 😂
YES< YES
Yes!!! I would pay $$$for a 1on1 consult in a heartbeat!
Hey can you do a video on the best possible hair routine for not going out... the healthiest possible thing we can do for our curls no matter how bad it looks (since we are home). Like a quarantine hair routine...lol a quaran-tine
Jayme Jo, another curly youtuber, made a video on her no product routine which you can use during quarantine. It's simple and quick!
I would have went with qua-routine but your pun is also good
Is anyone else like super excited that in 9 days marks 2 years of this channel?! I’ve only been watching Mel and Amanda for a few months, but let me tell ya Mel is amazing! I started using some of her tips and tricks after letting my old habits go and my hair has literally transformed into beautiful curls! My Frizzy, dry scalp, thinning and unmanageable hair days are now long gone. Thank you so much for creating awesome content Mel!
Honestly, the most educational and fun curly girl video I have ever watched. ❤️
I think this is what I just went through! It was really scary. Thank you so much for your really informative (and fun) content! You've taught me so much and you completely saved my hair!!
I stumbled upon your channel when my hair was in a really scary state and I was desperate for answers. I had MAJOR breakage, curls turned totally limp and lots of frizz. I kept adding more and more moisture trying to fix it but it was only getting worse. I had no clue about the moisture/protein balance. After I found you I binged almost all of your content and added a lot of protein to my routine and honestly my curls have never been better! Thank you so much for all of your help. You explain things so well and you're so gosh darn entertaining while you do it! THANK YOU!!!
Omg i think this video is just what is going to save my curls. I am one of those that literally used water all the time, and latelly my curls have been dying (they are so bad that i feel they scream at me) now i know for what to look for on the products base on my hair needs and save my hair!! Thank u so much mel. I never used youtube before like this but now i think im just obsessed with your channel and all that you teach us. You are the only youtuber/social celebrety I'll love to meet. Great personality. God bless. Keep doing an amazing job. (Fan girl moment right there) PD: im so thankful for this
Finally something I've been doing correctly! I like to pre poo my hair with oils and when I style it afterwards I feel like my hair is curlier than when I don't use oils.
Gonna go scream in happiness now. I have naturally high porosity hair which can easily get over moisturized and start falling apart. After finally transitioning back to my natural hair, I learned the hard way that without anything my hair would rapidly dry, frizz, tangle and break. Throw in a lot of YT videos that don’t really show HP routines, a lot of glycerine or heavy moisture products, or not too much info to explain the issue and my hair had to go through horrible phases. Until today. Bravo girl 👏! I’ve had to learn some of these things the hard way. Pre pooing oil treatment for hp thin hair girls. It’ll change you. I’m barely learning the need to include protein and sealants. Butters and thicker oils huuuuuge no no’s for styling This has got to be one of the most thorough videos explaining porosity and a routine that can help HP thin hair. I’ve been on this journey for 4 years and I am barely scratching the surface. I’m gonna have to do a decent trim as some recent products have had their way and a lot of snappage has occurred. Product understanding and usage has just been the hardest part to manage. A million thank you’s. Me and my best friend always talk about your videos. She can relate more to your seester’s long thick hair where as I can relate to yours. All the love from LA ❤️.
Yes Moisture Overload was the reason I destroyed my curl-wave type Hair, 2 Years Ago.
I had to cut them short, bcs I knew nothing to recover. Now am blessed to learn from my Queen of curls Mell 👑
How is your hair doing now? Have the curls grown back in it’s original form?
I just realized that I can't remember when was the last time that I did a protein treatment to my hair, no wonder it's been limp and too soft lately. I'll definitely do a rice water treatment soon. Thanks Mell!
Well, I’ve been going to bed plopping my wet curly hair for 7 years, and never knew hygral fatigue was a thing. I definitely have it so, rip to my hair, but I’m glad that I know now and I’m excited to see how my hair changes! Thank you for your videos they have helped and inspired me so much!!
Same - thought I was doing good by not using a hair dryer! I’m going to try protein treatments because I have literally no protein in my normal routine 🤦🏻♀️
@@Emma-dt5tg protein seems like it's in EVERYTHING
How do I get curl at the root? My ends are curly but it’s always the back of my head and my roots that won’t curl
Fresca Kanari SAME!
ruclips.net/video/RrIVP122a5c/видео.html :)
@@lyndsaysheeran2877 You will have the solution in the video I linked.
SAME
Maybe try a different hair cut, with more layers. That helped me.
I think I got moisture overload today so I went searching on Mell’s channel for this video. I knew I saw it recently. Whew lifesaver. Now to go search for some protein in my stash!
I'm now scared to do anything with my hair. I just want to chop it all off now, but I'm so ugly with short hair. I don't even know how to tell if my hair is messed up. I watched this video like two weeks ago, and I've started to think my hair looks like shit ever since. I dont know what I'm looking at....
I won one of your giveaways at Christmas and it was The Innate Life products. And now I'm ruined for life because they're so amazing! I love them and will recommend them to anybody. Thank you Mel!
LOL sorry not sorry!! When you find a good thing 😍😍😍 I’m happy to hear you like it 😘😘
Could you do a video about crown damage? The hair on my crown is a totally different texture, and sometimes my scalp is tender there too.
Same!
Sameeee
You and Amanda make the best videos. I learn something new literally with every one. Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for watching our videos
I have wavy hair that loses structure and stretches out as the days go by. Day 2 I don’t have to add water but day 3 and 4 I do if I want to wear it down:(
Same
Me too. I have wavy/curly collar length hair and by day 3 it's a total mess.
Me too!! I don’t even know what to do at this point. curly hair is so hard! 😣
If you've 2a-2b, try braiding your hair before going to bed. Maybe that would help prevent the use of water
My youtube broke out yesterday, and this is the first chance I got to finish the video. So happy you stopped teasing and finally uploaded this Gem! It's so dry out here in Texas, and windy, and dusty...and and and, so when I have to wash every other day I get so scared that I am getting to this point, thank you so much for the help Mel. :)
I'm a guy with pretty short hair, although now I have a reason to grow it out with everything going on 😂however this channel has literally SAVED my hair. I legitimately used to just have frizz, and now I have spirals. THANK YOU MELL. However, I'm still not sure why the curls in the front of my head are so much nicer than the ones in the middle and back, I give my whole head the same consideration, and nothing, not even finger coiling will get these curls to spiral like the ones in the front! It's so frustrating especially considering it used to be my front end that had the most damage. Edit: I’m only referring to the top of my head as I keep my sides short/shaved. When I say back of my head, I’m referring to the back top!
I just love your channel.. You really try to share with us knowledge. Most of cg channels just review products and upload the same videos with different products which tbh doesn't help much.. That's why you're my favorite cg channel ❤️ God bless u.
Not sure if you are reading this, but must get this of my chest.
Okay, so I have binge watched for the last 4 days most of your videos, I mean REALLY BINGING, soaking up your wisdom! Even rewatching several videos multiple times.
Yesterday I have purchased multiple new products (new and good shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in, gel, cream, brush, bonnet, scalp massage brush) because you just gave me hope for my hair again!
Years ago (±5 years?) I wanted to do de CG routine, but I feel so much more confident using your tips!! When I started CG I got pretty decent results. I mean I did not follow ALL the rules but for instance, for the past 5 years I think I brushed my hair maybe 10 times, and used shampoo maybe twice a year? But now for the last ±3 years my hair looks tired, flat and FRIZZY. For the last 2 years I have only used morrocanoil conditioner and cream (I was tired of the CG rules and just gave up and wanted to use 2 products, yes with silicones) I just gave up.
But I guess I just want to thank you, so much. I am going to start my journey again, with loads of confidents, hope and patience. The last couple of days you made me laugh, sigh and love my hair again. Please know you and your work (and your seesters work!!) here is appreciated and valued!
Starting tomorrow to properly wash and nourish my hairs, and begin the endless retraining my curls.
This vid changed my hairs life. I used to liven my curls with water every single day. After only a couple months of using Mell’s methods, my texture has improved and I’ve actually saved money on products. Thanks Mell!!!!
Omg every time I do like a lot of people say and not rinse all the conditioner out of my hair, I end up with moisture overload within a couple of washes. And I don’t leave a lot or anything but I guess my hair is just really porous? I literally cannot leave hardly any behind and it’s prob because I only have like one product with protein...you are my hair angel I swear😂 for whatever reason I thought it was only lack of protein so I will do a protein treatment after clarifying and it fixes it...I think now I understand why! Thank you!
Hey, Mell! Can you do a video on protein overload? ✨ Thank you for everything you do for us 🌈
Hi Mell! Thanks for the awesome video! I was waiting for this hygral fatigue video. 😉 I looked up Innate Life thanks to your mention. (Surprise, surprise - it’s Canadian! 😂) Was wondering why I had never seen it before. The ingredients look great. I will have to check these products out. Thanks for the info & be safe! ❤️
It is recommended people with environmental allergies wash/rinse their hair before bed at night. How do you address this issue?
I also have a beanie that is satin lined so in the climate of today’s society I wear that every time I go out anyway because it’s the only part of my body that doesn’t get cleaned everyday
Absolutely need to wash before bed and medical professionals as well
Ugh I believe I’m suffering with this now. I watched your porosity video & learned so much! I bounced to this one. For so long I was against moisture because I have fine hair & anytime I applied, I did it wrong or with wrong products. Then I found oils 2 years ago when wearing hair extensions, it changed my life. I feel I’ve overdone it the last 2 years now watching your videos. I literally have a stiff frizzy puff ball 🥲 I’m going to change up my routines and products. Let’s see how this goes! Always much love and thank you!
Fascinating!
I would love to see your take on a wash to style routine for fine wavy hair.
It is such a tricky hair type, and it is hard to figure out what products to buy from SDM.
🤘
THANKS for the amazing info, as always. Could you please do a video on how to combat (insert your dramatic music) HARD WATER ?!
I need all the tips I can get!
Thank you so much for this. It’s been happening to me for a year and I didn’t know what was wrong with my hair until I found out about this
Gosh YES. I needed this. I have hard water and I’m struggling so bad trying to find a routine to help ☹️ my hair hasn’t been the same since moving to a place where we only have hard water. It’s way drier and I get build up worse. I’m constantly needing to clarify and that dries my hair even more. And I only have wavy hair 😩
Same here. Try to leave some good conditioner as a leave in.
Yup it's definitely tough to balance with hard water. Bleh.
Sarah Crittenden yes I wish there were more videos to help :((
I am so grateful for your videos. Not only do I learn a lot, but my hair has truly been looking great since I started following some of your advice. Thank you so much. You are amazing.
Hi Mell!
Thank you for this!
I do have another question about pre-pooing. This is where my mind gets very confused. If I am pre-pooing, then this treatment is all going on top of dirty hair with product still on it? Should we rinse our hairs out first to get off as much water-soluble product as possible... the air dry... then pre-poo?... It sounds good and makes sense when the reasoning for pre-pooing is described. It’s just that I haven’t found an explanation for my question.
I hope you and your family are safe and doing well, ‘Hi Amanda!’
Thank you for taking the time. I hope you can help shed some light on this for me please. ☺️🤗
Found your channel in lockdown, IT HAS LITERALLY . C.H.A.N.G.E.D MY L.I.F.E !!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, never have i understood my hair as thoroughly . It has totally encourages me to do the work (thanks to having the knowledge you share.. that no stylists HAS EVER told me) and EMBRACE my curls !
LOVE YOU
*reads causes of moisture overload*
*sweats* I was leaving my hair masks in for hours at a time
SAME x
Thank you for covering this topic in such a logical manner! I love watching your videos, as you give over such valuable information in a fun and entertaining way! ❤❤❤
Did you legit get 1k additional subscribers over 1 day? Thats amazing! I learned so much from your videos. Thank you!!
My hair are long like your sister's, and they felt a little gummy and dry. Now they feel more moistured, shiny and my curls are a little bit more defined. This is what I've applied from your videos :
- I pre-treat my hair with a mixture of coconut oil/almond oil and I detangle with my fingers. Let sit as long as possible.
- I use a deep conditionner with strengthening properties and I rince right after the time indicated on the bottle
- I spray a little of white vinegar diluted in water to rebalance the pHHHHeeeee !
- I use an old coton tee-shirt to damp my hair
- I apply a serum with strengthening properties, a cream to define my curls and a curl spray
- diffuse the hair following your method. Some strands dry faster when I'm diffusing, so I try to put them apart then I don't overheat them. At the end my hair feel a liiiiiiittle damped (but it may be the moisture ?).
- At night : I tie my hair with a sort of invisibobble very loosely, I put a silky cap that I secure with some pins
- Day after day : I apply a tiny bit of a cream on my dry strands and I spray an argan-oil based on my hair
And boom ! I can see the results. Thank you curl master !!!
I am dealing with hygral fatigue right now 😭 my hair won’t clump or hold shape EDIT never mind lolololol it’s over moisturized
how did you fix it?
@@asafawks it’s literally still kinda over moisturized 😭. I cut a lot off last may, it’s all grown back now.. just did the aphogee protein treatment and that helped. I’d say follow all the tips Mel mentioned and try protein!
I'm loving this new format! Very "Pop Up Video" circa 1995 ;) But seriously, thanks for putting so much work into this! Your tips have been a GOLD MINE for the last year as I've transitioned to my natural curls.
Hi mell I have been subscribed to u for 2 month now. I have 3a-3b curls. From following all of your advice my curls are back to been beautiful even in lockdown. Thank u so much. Love from the UK xxx
You are adorable, and I have learned so much from you, especially about how to deal with hygral fatigue + moisture overload. Do you have any updates concerning the process, products, and tools that might have made the “DO” list in 2023-2024? I’m about to make a big purchase to get started down the road to hair recovery, and I don’t want to miss anything I need. Thank you!
I *just* had over moisturized hair. I have hard water & I thought I needed more moisture. Nope. Did a rice water rinse but followed it with deep conditioning as advised by the hair gurus. Still over moisturized. Watched this & tried something new. I make homemade Greek yogurt. This leaves me with a lot of whey (the yellow watery stuff in yogurt). This is full of protein & goodness. Did a treatment letting it sit while I showered (after clarifying), then followed with my usual conditioner, & a leave-in with protein. Ended up with my best hair day ever. It's day 3 & usually my waves have fallen. But they are hanging on! Thanks for all the info & inspo!
I appreciate that you go into the science behind these situations and product. My brain retains that easier.
Can you please do a video on protein overload? Or wet stretch tests. Or treating dyed hair and root care for those who have stopped dying their hait and habe 4 inch roots...My hair is shedding like crazy and breaking and when I stretch it while wet it stretches a bit then snaps and the hair like frazzles up. So I don't know what it needs.please someone help. Love all your videos! And def a good hair day
DId you ever figure it out?
@@nicoleaiello7026 no. I just always use mostly moisturizing products and add a protein in my style step like with a cream. I tried a protein deep conditioner 6 months ago but it made my hair feel like straw so to nervous to try one again. So idk lol.
Before the video starts I already like because I love your videos !
if you don't already, a video on how to pick products for your curl type would be amazing!!! like what ingredients, type of styling products, etc :)
i love you stuff so much i watch you for hours at a time hehe
Damn, girl. Always so informative, but haven't fully grasped these concepts yet. Looks like I need to binge your videos again to try and understand what my hair needs! My hair is fine, curly, and I have an oily scalp. I don't wash every day, but I do run my hair under water everyday because I haven't mastered sleeping with curls. Not experiencing any of these symptoms (only when I used to use some Shea Moisture lines) but I'm almost 3 years into my transition and I want to protect this old hair!
Yeeess texture Tuesday 🥰 this was so helpful. I'd love to see a video about hair self care on a budget ❤️
Such an awesome breakdown of moisture overload!!!
I love watching the outtakes. They make me laugh and remind me of my 13 yr old daughter. I swear she does a lot of the mannerisms and expressions. She's like my own Mini-Mell. But with barely wavy hair
Your channel is so helpful! I love it, I've been going through all the videos. Helped me find my porosity and this ones helping me with my moisture questions.
Also your hair in this video is super cute up with the curly bangs 😍
I have straight hair and my 11 yr old daughter has very curly thin hair. I’ve learned so much from your videos and realized we’ve been doing so many things wrong and omitting steps. All the steps and products are overwhelming but I will figure it out. Her hair gets tangled and fluffs up so easily. But now I have some ideas to try.
How do you guys get your hair to curl at the roots. I finger coil but I can’t seem to get it to stay curly. Any tips on how I can fix this? My hair is very similar to Amanda’s
If your hair is super long the weight of it will stretch the roots out (because gravity) so a haircut with some layers will help!
Manes by Mell thank you so much. I was supposed to get a haircut but my stylist cancelled. I’ll go in as soon as I can though. ❤️❤️❤️
@Manes by Mell I’ve had layers done and for some reason the front pieces will wave at the top and then curl at the bottom (the wave then disappears second day) and the back doesn’t wave or curl at all at the top. I’m very confused 😂😭
Mell's right, i had this problem, hair reached lower back and thought that this was my hair. I cut like half of it with layers and my hair literally transformed
@@unushahkhan5167 Maybe it will change with time. I changed my haircut like two months ago but just now my top layer started to curl more. 🤷
I love your videos. I have crazy frizzy curly hair. You have helped me. Also, you remind me so much of Tip on the movie Home that I could listen to you all day. Lol one of my favorite movies .
I feel like it shouldn't be so complicated to take care of hair, but, add years of damaged processes and lack if factual knowledge on top if the fact that everyone's hair is so unique and what works for one may not work for another, makes it very hard to know how to get from a salvageable damaged state, to as healthy of a state as possible, all while trying to do with different porous grades and fine and thin hair on the same head.. as well as balancing it all with a head of hair that has 3 different curl patterns, and, you know that it has the potential to be great, but it all just feels like too much, but you are dedicated to caring for your hairs. It's a very complex issue, and one I'd love to see addressed. What to do when your head had different levels of porosity and different curl/wave patterns, and how to know the true reason, aside from damage from bleach, your hair may be just unable to hold a curl, and you do it all as balanced as possible. Sigh. Just venting but If i had no hope, I wouldn't be here to learn from the best of the best... Manes By Mell.
Thanks for all the info! I really appreciate the effort that goes into these videos, and how much knowledge you have! You're helping so many people feel beautiful and healthy

How would someone who is protein sensitive be able to incorporate protein in his or her routine since everyone needs it at some point?
Try some smaller proteins like hydrolyzed silk protein or amino acids.
Some curl creams have protein. Like the one from Not Your Mother's Curl Talk line, but it has a little, not a ton, so you can use it every time you wash your hair. Also when you deep condition, you can use one with protein once a month. You really have to just see what works for you.
The thing is... if your hair is healthy it shouldn't need anything to look shiny. Of course this depends on how your washing it but in general thats the case.
And of course when your hair gets longer and longer you have to treat it more but if you take care o it with an easy but deep cleanser and different oils or natural masks it should look healthy.
@@timogloor5041 ??? She asked about sensitivity. What does that have to do with shine? Just wondering

Your channel has been helping me so much with my hair growth journey!!
I have a question about Hydral Fatigue.
Is it okay to put argan oil in your hairs ends after showering or is that moisture over load and can lead to hydral fatigue?
I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for doing what you do XOXO
Iv watched this 4 times and still I’m
confused
I feel like I have to use water to refresh my curls and take the frizz down everyday. Is that causing hygral fatigue??? I've been doing it for years😥 How can I refresh without resetting the hairs? It's the only way I know how...
I wondered about how refreshing plays in as well. Also, sweat. In the summer, my hair will get soaked with sweat a few times a week. I wonder if the solution is in the washday. She suggests pre-pooing with an oil and sealing with an oil. I wonder if that can protect the hair from hygral fatigue. The way I keep my hair from getting damaged from being soaked with sweat is a put a small amount of jojoba oil in it before I braid it. I do this in hopes it keeps my hair from absorbing too much salty sweat.
I was wondering the same thing, my curls don’t make it through the night
I was going to ask the same question.
I found incorporating protein helps with retaining the hair shape longer. I used to just be a leave in girl. Now I do, leave in, curl cream and mousse and skip conditioner 😱. All styling products with protein. I use not your mothers curl line, I can go about 6 to 5 days with great curls. I also started using a real satin bonnet, and let me tell you, It makes a big difference. Hope that helps.
@@rponce1119 What styling products are you using?
I love that you give so much info while still being funny, gracias😘
I'm literally learning so much from your videos! During this quarentine I was thinking to find different ways to bring life back to my hair. Even considering making a big chop (which I have never really considered before... as I've always wanted to keep my length despite the damage flat ironing has done throughout my years) I'm considering it now as I want a fresh start. It was SUCH a blessing to come across this video as a few days ago my hair started looking and feeling super stringy, dry, and frizzy and I didn't know why at the time. I now think I was over moisturizing for sure!!! Thank you so much for being so helpful and entertaining as well
People should make an app we’re people with curly hair can help each other and relate to the same situations. Give tips and stuff
For people experiencing a lot of inflammation, itchiness & flaking of the scalp I would suggest *not* using oils since it could be sebhoric dermatitis. Seb Derm is an overgrowth of a type of yeast that feeds on oil in the skin. It isn't caused by dryness. I found out the hard way, my hairdresser kept using morroccon oil on my hair & scalp & I got such a bad a reaction I must now use medicated prescription shampoo. I was already highly sensitive to fragrance so finding haircare & styling products was a real challenge. I have thick, wavy, textured hair that I prefer wearing natural mainly because I don't like spending hours blow drying & hot styling my hair. I need products that will tame frizz, promote curl & hold. Some of the videos I've seen on CGM made it seem like more work, not less. And the amount of products needed seemed daunting & excessive. But your videos are making sense & now I know what ingredients to look for (protein) & when to use them & how often. Since I can't use oils, I'll probably always use some silicones in my finishing & styling products but I know to make sure it's not in my shampoo or rinse out conditioner or deep conditioner. Soooo, hoping my colored/highlighted hair will get consistent results throughout our dry Summer :)
Thank you for all this sound information. I always learn so much here. Plus, you make learning fun with such great humor! I’ll try the Innate soon. Thanks again 🙏🏽
I was wondering: does this mean you also recommend not refreshing hair in the mornings by spraying a little bit of water to it (since this would make it a bit wet, and then it would dry)?
i wondered the same too
I think the problem it's when you have your hair super wet like if you are refreshing in the shower..
Yeah I agree with the person above me. If you're doing light spritzes of water to the frizzy parts and then adding an oil/serum/refresh product, you should be fine. This is for people who regularly get their hair soaking wet and then let it dry naturally on a daily basis. Maybe swimmers or athletes who shower every day, not retouches.
She has a video for morning routines where she limited water and a night routine video where she explains how to care for the curls overnight, I think it would be helpful to watch it’s really good !
Cassie Sprague i’m very late but this is exactly what i do every single day and i had no idea that it damaged your hair. but my curls usually get so messed up while i sleep even though i pineapple them and my hair is just generally frizzy and feels unmanageable. does anyone know what to do daily to refresh curls ? i’d really appreciate the help 💓
Mell can u do a video about fine, thin hear, which haircut is the best, how to take care of it, how to give it volume, which routine to follow. ( curly hair)
Please, I would appreciate it so much❤
Love u, cute as always 😍👑
Mel you are not about to make me buy this whole new line of products! 😂😫 they all look sooooo good!
LOL finish what you have then come back to watch this and decide what you want, you won’t regret it!
My hair is on it's way to hydral fatigue and I'm freaking out :(
Love your vids!! And I 💜💜💜looove your hair!! You are so beautiful and after watching just a few of ur vids for curlies my curls have come back! I literally thought my natural curly hair had changed to natural wavy. But nope. They are back! So thx u! Have a great day!! 😁
The explanations were very clear and easy to understand. Thanks! Also, very scared for my hair now... Thanks 🙃
Thank you so much girls for using drugstores products to give us good reviews and good options later. Specifically this days when money is tight🤗😘.
Mel. I've came across your channel last week. Seriously, you helped me a lot with the various tips you have provided on curls. Thank you and keep up the good content! :-)
Hi Mel, loooove your videos! I’m very interested in a video about the ingredient alcohol. I see it a lottttt in products and I’m interested in what types of alcohol you have to avoid and what it does to our curly hair! Looking forward to a video with that information🤗
Hi Mell! Love this video and YOU, and I'm so happy I watched this during this quarantine. Could you do a video on Protein Overload?
Great info Mell. I need to listen again and take notes! Really good. Thanks
Thank you! Taking notes is always encouraged and you can be sure the video will always be up for your viewing pleasure 🤗🤗💕
Your videos are so helpful. I appreciate them so much.
Mell this video was helpful. And I don’t think hyrgal fatigue is my issue now. Something though that I’m confused about is hard water. If I use a chelating shampoo, am I not still rinsing it out with hard water? Can you make a video about that and apple cider rinses if they help?
I am a ginger gone grey. I color my hair myself. Do you have clients like me? Unless I use a ton of gel it's fuzzy. With the gel it's pretty good but hard to refresh.
Love your channel but one thing I have to point out is that overcondtioned hair is defintely repairable! I've had overcondtioned hair and what you need is a strong protein treatment. The 2-step protein treatment from Aphogee worked wonders! My hair got its life and strenght back straight away! Its been more than 2 months now and my hair is still in perfect condition.
This was very helpful. My next washday I will be trying out my Bounce Curl that I bought because of your recommendation. :)
so excited for you!! what did you get exactly?? remember to make sure the hair is moisturized with the leave-in/clump cream before the gel for the perfect balance
@@ManesByMell I bought the clarifying shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, clump cream, gel, and hair spray lol. I have thin hair, so do I need to use both the leave-in and clump cream? Not sure if it will wear my hair down.
I love the Redken Cat treatment when I feel like I have to much moisture. I recommend Ion Hard Water Shampoo... I live in Sacramento, CA, and I have extremely hard water... This stuff helps so much.
