even the wrong side is still 10x better than my curls lol
same!
me too! I WISH my hair looked as good as the 'bad side'!!
same
Same girl!
Agree
Thank you for mentioning us wavies 😭 Please more advice for 2a, b, c hair! ❤️
Your bad side is a good side for me. I'm transitioning (4 months) and I'm still amazed I have big curly hair after years of thinking it was straight.
you have GOT to do a video about masks, deep conditioners, and treatments 🤧
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@ManesByMell yes please do it
Yes i follow😁

💯‼️
Thanks so much Mell! After 40 years walking on this planet and hating my curly hair,you made me like and fall in love with my hair for the first time in my life. In this last 2 weeks since discovering your channel and following your tutorials,I can say that my hair looks bomb.com. And I realized that I wasted so much time and energy to straighten my hair,when in reality I had my pot of gold in top of my head.
Ps...hi seester!!
these are the comments that keep me going. I am so happy that my seester and I have helped you in such little time. We would like to welcome you to the channel and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the support ❤️
Girl, I watch your videos and feel like I'm coming to class completely unprepared. After about 2 minutes in I'm scrambling for a notebook and pen. I didnt know there was so much I needed to know. You are a Godsend!! Thank you!!
"even her BAD side" looks better than my good side - tehehe
I’ve always doubted my hair but Mell spoke to me “fine hair” “curls frizz apart easily” and “fall flat” 😭😭😭 I watch these videos on repeat and I’m getting close to the perfect hair day
Same!! I can’t wait to watch this video because I have all of those problems
Please make a video about wavy hair!
I second that!
Yes, please!! 😭
Who knew all I had to do was use ✨more✨ product to make my curls pop?? I thought more would just weigh my hair down... 23 years into this life and I’m just figuring this out lol ugh... Shoutout to Mell for saving my curls 🥳🤩
I don't know where you've been for my whole ass curly hair journey but you're a game changer
Having curly hair is sUCHHH a flex when you know how to properly take care of it. I’m getting there mel im getting there!
Girl you just taught a black girl how to do her hair . Thank you this has helped me so much.
Mell is SO engaging! It's her personality. I've watched it through and don't even have curly hair..😅
I like watching her and she doesn’t have my hair type at all.
I have very heavy, very coarse, wavy-curly hair (2c-3a). Once I rinse out my conditioner, I absolutely cannot pull my curls in any way or else they stretch out too much and frizz up. I know "just scrunching" in product is supposed to be "bad" now, but it's literally the only thing that works for me. I can't use praying hands, raking, or finger coiling. Instead I kind of pat the product all over my head, and scrunch away. Do's and don'ts of curly hair are helpful, don't get me wrong, but I really think it's all about finding what works best for YOU. If you're trying a method that is supposed to be a "do" and it's not working or you don't like the result, do it how you think looks best! As long as you're taking care of your hair's health, you do you boo boo!
I love your videos. No offense to the other youtubers but you're the first one that I find that isn't self absorbed annoying. You give the best tips not because you want the game but because you are so passionate about curly hair! You're doing a great job keep it up!
You’re one of the few people I don’t get bored watching when I need information about my hair :((💕
Am I wrong for loving the "don't " side? All of that volume!
VERONICA GLOVER I thought I was the only one it looks so much better to me!!
+VERONICA GLOVER Some people prefer volume, some people definition. Mostly, if your hair is healthy, go for what you want! IndiaBatson is a curly haired influencer who prefers volume over definition. She definitely likes definition, but volume is mostly her goal.
VERONICA GLOVER no! That’s the side I need. I don’t understand why people like big curly hair, I want flat curls.
@@kat118 Because the don't side will be very frizzy and will damage your hair. It will have more knots and prone to breakage when detangling the hair. Also it is hard to manage. Idk if you can get the look after doing the things you need to do for hair.
I love both sides but I also know that the "don't" side will look like a frizzy mess on day 2. I try to start with the "do" side on day 1 and make it to day 5-6 before the frizzy mess hits...
The operative word in that sentence is "try"... It doesn't always happen 😕
Even her "bad" Side looks better than my efforts. I'd be happy with the bad side
Thanks to you, I’ve gone from detesting my curls to loving them. Looking at photos with my hair straight now seems weird! Thank you
You are sooo very welcome !! And THANK YOU for watching ❤️❤️
Thanks for the professional level info and your sense of humor. I'd love to see more on fine curls. So hard to balance frizz reduction, body, definition, and keeping your style intact for more than a minute when each strand is so delicate.
Your steps are on point but may i say i prefer the puffy voluminous side🤷♀️
Honestly, your videos have helped me sooo much. I got in a car accident and broke the bones in my wrist on my dominant hand. I went from straightening my hair all the time to forced to have my natural curly hair down. And I say forced because I wasn’t even able to put my hair in a ponytail at the time. Thank you so much you’ve made me fall back in love with my curls!
Jessy Boo omg are you ok you’re a warrior and you can make it through
The "don't" side aint all that bad MELL!!! LOL
I would love review videos about affordable drugstore curly hair products, like Maui moisture, cantu, shea moisture, etc
Oh Mell! I love your DON’T!!! It is so FULL!!!! So “fluffy”! So GORGEOUS!!! I would love to see it twice as long, and even more fluffy! You are so beautiful, so pretty! You steal my eyes and my heart! Thank you for your video!!! 🙂
I like both sides 😍😭😭
The joy Mell gets from the squish of her hair is on a whole other level. My heart is telling me that I need to find something that simple that gives me that much happiness.
Why do I love the left side too? That’s how my hair looks all the time 🤣 the bigger the better!!!!
My hair looks exactly like your not side so I clicked on your video right away and I just realized I’ve been doing 80% of those things 😭😭 I can’t wait to try out these techniques .
Am I the only one who thinks the left side looks good as well?
I think it looks better because of the volume
Whew Lord I am overwhelmed 😂 you should do virtual 1 on 1 styling sessions because I would definitely sign up for a class!
Even your "bad" side looks good!😂 Thank you for this. I am always afraid I'm going to use too much product, and usually fall short.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I DON’T need handfuls of product on my fine, thin hair. Game changer.
For some reason, everything makes so much more sense when you explain it! Love your videos Mel. 😍
I'm not one to comment online but you are my savior!!! I've struggled with my curly hair since forever... Growing up I'd have my mom spend hours straightening my hair, and as a young adult I'd chemically straighten it. If this pandemic has had one silver lining it's been finally having the time to educate myself on how to treat my curls. My hair now looks absolutely gorgeous. Today I finally completed my routine with a gel and oil and I look like I've just had my hair done professionally.
Thank you so so much for everything you do!!!!
I like the frizzy side the only thing is that theres two harsh layers n thats what looks wild...
I rock the "dont" side..and i love it🤷
Liked the vid too
Another great curly hair tutorial, Mel. I have the same hair type as yours. I was lazy today and got my hair to look like a nest. The birds were ready to swoop in on it 🤣
I hate how her don't side looks better than my hair
Gah!!! I literally did everything on the don’t side this morning. Results are accurate 😐, I walked around with don’t hair today. Thanks so much for this amazing video!!! Fixing this stat.
I like the more fluffy part with volume, I think volume is more sexy. The right side looks good too but looks more wet as if it was just with a lot of styling oil. Also pretty but more romantic/ normal and less sexy.
I think all girls who want less friz and less volume more defined curls over time even without using anything they should use organic mic of oils more often and do oil masks like Italian girls do.
just buy oils on amazon peach kernel sweet almon argan and jojoba oil and mix them in a big bottle and add (rose dracena oil for smell or maybe organic vanilla oil for smell- add only few drops to the base oils because these are much potent should not be used alone on skin or hair. Put the oil mix after shower on moist hair they will absorb over time just don’t put too much unless before bed as a pre morning wash mask ..
And collagen and keratin masks could be nice as well...
She hasn't scrunched out the crunch or picked out & fluffed the right side yet. Once she does, it won't look hard or wet. It will be soft, defined and voluminous. Plus it will last for days.
I kinda Love the big and fluffy “wrong” side more 💁♀️😁
I was scared of gel until you explained what gels to use! Thank you! Thank you!World of difference !
Mell, I know this sounds crazy, but I like my soaking wet. When I hear the squish sound I know the leave-in is in the hair. I add the gel then squish my hair let it air dry I live in south Florida and its freaking hot so I take advantage of the heat. By the time I get to work by 10 am my hair is completely dry. I get great curls and this method works for me.
There’s literally no way I’m not subscribing I learned so much here 😳😳
I had to rewatch. I actually thought I was doing fine! I am almost 5mths into my curly hair journey and after watching this... DEF my hair is looking better!💜
You literally give good tips and it works so good on my hair. For sooo many years I was taught to put product in drenching wet hair which is why I would give up on my hair. I started wrenching just a bit of water out of my hair first and then applying product. Turns out it dries so much faster and looks better !?!? Thank you so much. ❤️
Love that density measurement for products
This video gave me my best wavy day yet! Thank you for the specifics, such as twisting a lock of hair to judge if you’re using the right amount of product. So clever!
My 5 year old daughter and I love watching your videos!!! You are teaching me how to deal with my own hair (my mom did not know what to do with my curls) so I can start teaching my daughter how to deal with her curls and be proud of them. Thank you!!!
That baby is beautiful
Would love to see more videos on wavy hair.
okay mel i like the “wrong” side bc volume and it looks so big 😍
I've JUST started embracing my curls. I'm so glad I found your videos. I was/am doing everything wrong. My hair looks like the left side today and now I understand why. At least, I learned how to diffuse my hair correctly thanks to your other video.
You’re the first curly girl with my hair texture AND curl type and your videos are life. I’ve been taming the mane for 30 years and I was today years old when I learned how to properly style my curls for a beautiful frizz-free look. You’re amazing - keep them coming! Thank you, gorgeous!
This is that one tutorial everyone transitioning should watch FIRST. I love all the routine vids here and by other people, but the truth is those are their routines. Even if someone's hair is similar to ours we need to figure out what amounts and types suit our very own hair. Thank you :)
This is THE BEST instruction I’ve ever heard about curly hair application. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I got my curly textured hair from my momma and I was never taught the right things to do with my hair. I felt pretty embarrassed growing up because I kept using a curling iron to control my frizz. It was seriously damaging my hair. Now I’ve discovered a few things here & their such as product, washing, and brushing. Then, I literally RUclipsd styling curly hair & I discovered your channel. I’m so happy for getting all my questions answered & I’ll start doing your advice 😊😊 Thank you 🙏🏼
So happy to have discovered your page, I've changed my cream application and added gel too, and the end results were amazing!!✨ Had definition till day 5🙌🙌🙌 which would have been impossible before😰
So thank you very much💕
Girl, you need a new RUclips name...Curly Hair Whisperer 🙌🏼
Every time my hair is not doing what it’s suppose to, you always lead me back to the truth:
-don’t half a$$ your wash day and product application
-make sure your hair isn’t dry or drenched when applying products
Your hair advice is probably the only one that actually gives me big results!
You're such a great hair coach! Thanks for the reliable information! You offer the best curly hair tips I've seen on RUclips. 🙌
i lowkey like the ‘bad’ side
I wanted to say thank you. I have been struggling with what is the right amount of product in my hair but seeing you do the twist thingy was exactly what i needed. Awesome x
I like the bad side 😭
Me too😊 👍
Me too!
I like the fluffier side better. It's really flowy and natural looking. But you have great looking hair regardless.
The "good" side lookd a little crispy to me
Love love love your videos! From going to a bun for years! Literally years! Because I could not style my hair due to all my frizz, to being able to have it down for days! 😭 your moisturizing tips and deep conditioning has helped so much! Thank you Mel and your sister Amanda for all of it! I (and my fiancée 😂) are forever grateful! No more lion’s mane for this girl! ❤️
I suspect I don’t add enough product because I’m a cheapskate and don’t want to use my products up too quickly 😂
I'm so glad to have received this tips! Thank u so much! I have got 2a/2b wavy hair e this made it super defined and soft! 😍😍
I have learnt so much more from you in a few videos than i have watching loads of other peoples videos. I love that youactually explain why you need to do it as well. Which i find really helpful. Thankyou you are a great teacher.
Whats the best way to maintain curly hair while working out & post workout???
Your curly hair tips are life saving (and I love your personality) THANK YOU
I think I now finally understand I'm starting with hair that is too dry. Can't wait to try this today!
Wow, the "cupping" tip to find out how much product you need is awesome. Never heard that one before; def going to try it out.
So happy I found your channel!!! I have recently been trying the curly girl method and been in general trying to understand my hair and the curls more. I have definitely been guilty of the scrunch and go and all I’m left with is crunchy wet looking hair all day. I picked up some new products based on your suggestions for what might help the curls and I cannot wait to try them out!! Thank you thank you!!!!!
You have helped me so much with my curls. This week was the first time in the 6 months I've been taking care of my hair that I was able to get 3 days out of my wash day. I'm loving all of your tips and tricks! Keep it up.
best channel I've discovered this month for sure! I'm learning so much thank to your vids!
Oh lord, lovely Mel - you saved my whole hair life with this video. And no, I didn't apply enough product in the past. But I did it today like you in the video - and badaboom, I love the result so much! 😍😍😍
The tip on applying the amount that is the size of the hair is genius! It helped me SO much after this long with natural hair, I never heard that tip before! It has really helped me! Thank you!
I love this channel so much, i can't even express it enough, thanks for all the information and demonstrations!
Thank you, Mel! I’ve been learning so much from you on my journey.
I would love to see a video with advice for people trying to embrace their curls for the first time.
I haven’t worn my curly hair down since I was a little girl, I always just throw it up in a braid or bun. I don’t even know where to begin with my hair. I think my hair is like a 3A but I’m not totally sure.
My sister walked in on me watching this and goes... "Is that Shakira?" haha
By watching your videos I've learned so much about my hair and what products to use. I really appreciate you. Thank you
Hair Goals❤️ Finding perfection in anything you do sounds like a dream. Including the use of hair products💜

And thank you so so much for your amazing videos, you've helped me transform from a frizz ball to a curly qween 👩🏽🦱 x
Lots of love from the UK and please keep up the good work x
Not enough product - and lazily applied in patches, has definitely been my biggest problem. So looking forward to wash day this evening now!
Yeees! This is so helpful! Products can only do so much u have to know how to apply them right. Thank I for the tips- every curly and wavy girl needs to do this
Bless you Mel omg! I’ve been using products in the wrong way all my life, thanks for sharing this🥰
Omg! Just found you these days on youtube and I love the way you present things related to wavy and curly hair. I love your sense of humor! Fantastic!
thank god i found your channel, you’re saving my hair! i have really thick and really long (to my butt) 3a/3b hair but unfortunately since i have colored them they don’t curl up like they used to :( btw you’re so young but you have a lot of experience and i love the way you explain how we should treat our hair, it makes me think i’m talking with a friend (who knows everything about my curly hair😍). actually i wish i was your friend hahahaha
WE ARE CURL FRIENDS!!! Thanks for the support and love 😍
Manes by Mell thank you for your answer!❤️
I wish I could make my curls look half as good as the bad side!
ME TO
Love your videos. Not only informative but fun to watch. I began my curly hair journey 6 months after 40 years of trying to wear it straight). I began my journey with dyed, highlighted with bleach, a supposedly Botox treatment that was to remove frizz and not the curl, and not to forget I’m 99% grey (started getting gray at 14). The supposedly Botox treatment (the Botox was about a 1 1/2 yrs ago) stripped most of my haircolor - from light brown to a horrible light orange blond and left my hair with no curl. Then it began breaking at the ends. I decided not to do the big chop and cut 1/2 inch every couple of months. I began with hair almost halfway down my back. It’s now a couple of inches under my shoulders. I have thick, course, dry high porosity hair. After watching MANY curly hair videos, trying many products, going to a Miami Deva Curl Salon, two local curly hair salons, I finally found what works in South Florida weather (humidity in the 90s). To help the damage I did the Olaplex 1 and 2 treatment at home. I used the Hot Heads bonnet and a plastic cap underneath for the 20 minutes suggested. Bought the DevaCurl No Poo Original conditioning cleanser and One Conditioner original. I just use the cleanser on my roots and any runoff for the rest followed by the conditioner beginning from just below my roots and raking and squeezing in my hair. I rinse with the coolest water I can stand and leave a little on. NOW what worked for me is not squeeze the water for my hair with a regular towel just blot with a t-shirt. I comb my hair carefully and section my hair beginning at the bottom. I add water to make it almost soaking wet and then a quarter size amount of Biotera alcohol free defining gel and rake it through and then comb it through. I make sure I have enough in from roots to end to get a good slip and no frizzes and per on of Mel’s video I further section vertically to get more volume at the roots and finger coil. I continue sectioning around my head about 1 inch at a time and repeating. THE KEY IS TO HAVE THE HAIR ALMOST SOAKING WET BEFORE APPLYING A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF GEL. Love this gel. Never leaves it hard but keeps the curl defined. Once whole head is done I take a bit more gel with a some water on the palm of my hand and scrunch it on my ends and little bit more gel on the roots (these are the areas that ten to frizz). Now I do not touch again and let air dry until end are pretty much dry and diffuse with hot air on medium setting the roots only pointing from top down (another suggestion on one of Mel’s video). I do not put my head down facing the floor because I have vertigo. I do move it from the side to side while diffusing to get some volume at the roots and a couple of clips on the front roots for volume. I end up with shiny frizz free soft defined curls that last 4 days or more. I get lots of compliments. To keep the curls frizz free I sleep on a satin pillow case and put my hair gently up so only the bottom hair is on the pillowcase. That includes the sides. This gives you additional volume at the roots. Again I am barely touching my hair. Maybe gently splitting up some curls. I tried numerous times until I found out what was the correct amount of gel for me. Which is substantial. It’s trial and error. BTW I did us the DevaCurl gel soft hold and the stronger hold but I felt it made my hair dry. It has protein. I just needed moisture. I tried many leave ins for moisture, definition, etc. They didn’t work for me. I felt they coated the hair but did not give me moisture and my hair frizzed the next day. ONLY WATER GIVES MOISTURE. I now bought the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner which continue to help the damage and makes my hair soft right out of the shower and do the Olaplex treatment 1 and 2 every month. I do rinse out the Olaplex conditioner and apply the DevaCurl one conditioner original like stated previously. I know I wrote a lot but I hope it helps someone.
I'm a fan! I feel so grateful for found you on this youtube world of curly girl method girls that never really teach you. I find your content SO educational and saved me from the pressure and crazines of CGM. I'm so glad that I can learn, laugh and realize that I gotta have fun with my hair and listen to it. Thank you, Greetings from latin america.
I’m such a curly girl slacker! 😂😂
I’m learning though. I recently found your channel and truly appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
I have super course, thick wavy/curly hair and I can’t stand not washing my hair every day. So I’m watching for tips to help my daily washing.
Thanks again for the help!
You've taught me so much that when I watch your videos now, they're just a reassurance that I'm doing my hair right👍🏽Thanks for all the info!!!
