- Beauty and Haircare products, especially those marketed towards curly hair are NOT CHEAP! In this game show style video, we’re sharing if we think you can SAVE or should SPLURGE when shopping all of the hair product categories. Featuring special guests, both of my Seeblings.

I'd love a video on how to avoid the 'wet look' after styling. I have fine hair and it takes literally over a day to stop looking dark and wet, even with just using a super light gel. don't want to look 2000 and late! thanks girls!
I have avoided that by applying a hair oil to break the cast once my hair is completely dry. The oil helps break the crunch up and fluff the hair out a bit.
I use a hair oil and scrunch out the crunch. You have to break the cast and then your hair will become more fluffy and lighter.
I’ll definitely give it a try! I would have thought oil would weigh down the hair so it’s definitely something I wouldnt have thought of. Any oils or products you recommend? Thank you!!
@@HollyJ211 Verb Ghost Oil! It's amazing and doesn't weigh the hair down at all. I apply it multiple days in a row and never get a greasy/oil feeling in my hair and I only wash every 3-4 days.
@@spacecase8791 I will go order some right now! Thank you, I appreciate the help!

Wow as someone with aggressively dry hair, I've always tended to save on shampoo and splurge on conditioner... Now I'm questioning everything.
I feel like I was watching siblings/cousins shooting a show with a VHS camcorder. Ya know, just pretending to have a show which we know our parents and aunts and uncles will humor us at Thanksgiving and watch. I had flashbacks of me and my sisters and I absolutely loved every second of it! We all had a role! 🤣
This was giving major 90's kid vibes.
Loved the live chat!!! Can we get help with styling greyING curls? Not just grey and not like four grey hairs. I mean I’m literally Rogue. Lol.
It’s a hard topic to find good videos on.
I am so frustrated right now because I was getting (and probably will still get some) highlights and using toners or colored glosses on my hair.
I’ve never been a fan of all over permanent hair color. I did it once years ago and despised having to go in for frequent root touch ups. I’m low maintenance when it comes to color and prefer things that will wash out and grow out/fade nicely.
The last time I had my hair done I asked for a semi permanent strawberry blonde color just before fall. I stressed that I did not want permanent color, I was waiting for more gray hair to come in and I was going to move toward gray blending after that.
The girl used a permanent auburn dye and repeatedly lied about it being permanent.
I had spent years letting my new gray hairs come in and grow.
** She did use a colored gloss on my hair one time after this as a temporary correction because she also didn’t apply the dye evenly. I waited for it to fade and then did a strawberry blonde gloss. The owner of the salon was helping her mix the gloss and kept being very snappy. She said - you keep asking for things that won’t cover your gray hair!!
That’s because I’ve been stressing that I don’t want my gray hair covered. I was growing out a full head of highlights, letting more gray come in and just wanted a hint of color for the fall.
I’m back with my Aveda stylist. She did my hair for a decade but went out of work before the pandemic due to child birth complications (she and the baby are great now). We’re working out a game plan with my hair. I need to go to more of an ashier dark blonde while I grow the remaining permanent dye out. I want to minimize damage in the process.
On top of that I’m trying to get styling with it down pat.
Brush styling is helping with that (I had to keep playing with it) though I can’t do much with the new growth that won’t lay down.
I had to switch to brush styling every section toward my face. I could do a mix before (though admittedly I was lazy with it). Finger rolling/coiling helps too though it time consuming.
It helps tame the gray hairs and work them into curl clumps.
I’ve got to be gentle and add in more moisture where I can while still maintaining balance.
It’s a juggling act.
Amanda was absolutely hilarious!! Great idea!
it was like pulling teeth to get her up there but it was absolutely essential to have her LOL
@@ManesByMell it looked that way from the bloopers haha but you guys pulled it off! Random question - I've been seeing a big trend about people doing gel-only wash and gos and skipping cream stylers altogether. Is that something you'd be interested in doing a video on? Would really love your take on it.
😂😂😂
I am already a member on your website and enjoying your RUclips channel and your website as well. Happy Easter to you and your family.
What a fun and unique video format! I was desperately bored and anxious and her hair theory video was on my homepage so I clicked, just to have something in the background while I washed dishes. It was so well-done and her charisma made it such an entertaining video that I subscribed immediately and went on to watch this video. She's definitely what RUclips needs right now. Love the videos!
Exactly my thoughts
Seems like everyone had fun making this one, which makes it even more enjoyable for the audience!❤❤❤
You NEVER disappoint, Mell! I am a senior with curly hair. You have taught me so much and finally, my curls are no longer frizzy,, but defined, beautiful! ❤.
Amanda is KILLING me! 😂😂😂
I love it when you bring your family into the videos! Anthony did a great job and Amanda's shots were hilarious.
And my wallet thanks you Mell!
I just can't bring myself to spend on a Dyson, is it really worth the splurge or do you have other tools you recommend. Curlsmith have a hairdryer with an enormous diffuser that looks great but I'd love to see your opinions and recommendations for dryers, diffusers at different price points.
Whatever hair routine you used for this wash day, your curls look INCREDIBLE. Even better than usual!
Your brother is so adorable and such a good sport!
This is just adorable! Your sibs are adorable and you are adorable. Not to mention the wonderful information provided in this very well put together video!
I have to admit that I did not splurge on my latest hairdryer. I needed one in a hurry and I went and got the least expensive one that had the features I was looking for. It's not perfect, but it's working for me.
Could you girls do a product review on the moroccanoil curly hair product line? You’ve said such good things about their oils and body wash I was wondering what you thought about their other hair products!
Question for Q&A - does heat protectant last thru refreshes or should we reapply before every time we diffuse? Thanks and love you and your seester!!
One category that wasn’t included was heat protectants. I know other items like leave in conditioners can have heat protection. I have a question about heat protection- when should I apply it?
At the end of my styling routine- bc it will be the outer layer or shield against the hair dryer? Do the benefits of the heat protectant still work if I use it as the bottom layer? I have problematic hair so I layer on at LEAST 3 styling products not counting a heat protectant.
As an admitted product junkie, I NEED this video! 😅
Fabulous video. I have to thank you so much for how you provide both Canadian sites and US for products. So many you tube channels just provide their own country purchase options and as a Canadian so many products are not available on Amazon or on sites that charge crazy shipping and duties, love all your videos. Your information has been a true game for my hair. 💐
This quiz made me realize that I pretty much splurge on everything 🤣🤣
Was there anyone else who couldn't stop looking at the flowing curls of our beautiful product model Amanda? And Mel's curls and makeup! MUAH!!! Two beautiful girls. Great job broother!!!! What a fun video.
It’s Amanda’s bloopers and Anthony getting canceled for me 😂
I dont use thaaaaat many products because I have ultra baby fine curly hair and too much can weight it down and make it feel dirty. So these are the product categories I use:
- Shampoo - mid range 😅 (I have been using the brand Giovanni Eco Chic since highschool, so over 15 years now) under $20 for me
- Conditioner - I like my shampoo and conditioner to be a set, but I have a few sets for different needs, so also mid range. Under $20
- Deep conditioner - SAVE! I have good results with deep conditioners that are $3 so why change that? From $3 to $12?
- Treatments - SPLURGE! My baby fine hair is very very dry, and I also bleach it and color it, and while deep conditioner helps, the dryness makes it prone to breakage. So I splurge on bond builders and such products (Olaplex #3 is a godsent for fine hair!) Up to $45
- Leave-in conditioner - mid range. I only have to make sure that it is water based, lightweight and that it doesnt build up! That is good enough for me. So I can't go with the cheapest, but mid range are great for me. Under $20
- Gel - mid range - just like leave in conditioner, if it is lightweight, not crunchy and water based, it is good for me. Under $10
- Hair brush - Splurge! A good brush will last a long time, and your hair will thank you! Up to $30
- Hair serum - Splurge! It has to be light, not build up, but also do its job well. Too light it doesnt protect that much, as it doesnt coat my strands too well. Too heavy and it weights my hair down and makes it feel dirty. So a high end formula, a mix of oils and silicones is the key for me. I live in high humidity place and oil is key to keep my hair looking great, less frizz, and retain the moisture. Up to $40
- Heat protectant - save. Affordable ones do a good job so I cant complain. Under $10
- Heat styling tools - mid range. Im not gonna be spending $500 for a dyson, but will not be using a $30 flat iron from Walgreens. I only have a blow dryer with a diffuser, a blow drying brush (Hot Tools), a flat iron and a wave wand. I barely use these. Maybe 3 to 4 times a year!
The other categories, such as Curl Cream, Refresh Sprays, Hair Spray, Dry Shampoo, etc... I dont use. My leave in, gel and serum are enough! And I can dilute my leave in conditioner between washes. Oh that is another thing, I dont wash very often because after experimenting, this is what works best for my hair! My scalp and hair are dry, I barely produce any sebum, so I can go a long time between washes, and this has made my hair feel so good, and look healthy!
Thank u for sharing!! ❤️🫶🏼
Great video Mel, Amanda and Anthony! You guys cracked me up! Not only do I learn stuff by watching you, but you always manage to make me laugh & smile… And sometimes that’ll be the only time that day that I do so I just want to say thanks😊 I’d say you’ve definitely found your calling as a hairstylist and RUclips star❤
Thank you so much for your videos. You made me love my own hair again. I started straightening it since I was 11 years old. I just turned 26 yesterday and I am 3 months into my curly hair journey thanks to you! I love your videos ❤️
😂😂😂. The bloopers were stomach-hurting-tears-running hilarious! Still laughing. Thx!
Nice video! Amanda did so well showing the products, Anthony is such a nice brother for participating even though he doesn’t have a lot of hair and Mell always amazing teaching us everything 🥰
Very informative 💯 because I’ve always thought the opposite about the save/$plurge on these, so TY Mel, Amanda & Anthony 👏👏👏
👏This was all I needed to hear to drop the pricey conditioner! I usually buy the one that matches my shampoo.
Great Video! Love the way you make them to NEVER be boring and on the same topic, so to speak. Thanks!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG! the blond was a moment but Mell's curls have honestly never looked better
Love this as always -the fam together even more hilarious 😂
I think Anthony did very well. Even when *HE* would be cheap (which since he has both short hair & a very simple,minimal style haircut, makes sense), he explained why most of your viewers would splurge.
As to products - overall, I agree with your Assessments, Mell. I would spend big bucks on a dryer, but unless I'm straightening, I very rarely take heat to my curls - don't want to spend the time (until my Sept 22 4inch chop, shoulder-mid back length 3B/3C curl patterns that is fine but thick took around an hour to blow-out straight + 30 minutes finishing w/ flat iron) + my results were better via air-drying versus diffusing.
I would consider spending $200 dollars a splurge on a blow-dryer. I would never spend over $400 on one. I have yet to own one costing over $50 in my 31 years of life.😅
I am just saying since I have discovered you my hair is showing amazing curls. Every time I get tons of compliments. Thank you from the bottom of my curls❤ and also I want to thank you for the website!!!!!! Finally, I was waiting for this! Keep it up!
I love the way these videos are made and how much fun you incorporate while talking about things that are really useful
Oh Amanda, your mishaps and Mell's laughter in the background cracked me up. 😂
You canceled your baby brother 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Got a Dyson hairdryer for Christmas. Favorite dryer! But strongly dislike the diffuser!! I have thick curly hair. Saves time. Also have smaller Lange hairdryer for travel. Thanks for the fun video 😊
I recently splurged on the Laifen hair dryer, and I absolutely love it! My hair doesn’t get too hot because of the cycling feature, and it takes half the time of my regular dryer. I have noticed a difference for the better in the condition of my hair.
Love Anthony 😂😂♥️ He did a good job. Come on.
This was so much fun! I have to ask, what lipstick are you wearing? It has to be the most beautiful flattering shade i have ever seen 😍
Just when you think that your brother doesn't listen to what you say, he goes and does this. Lol. Great, funny video full of good info for us curlies. Amanda with the tray..lmao.
I'm with Anthony. I haven't found a low end conditioner that as very good slip like my splurge products.
I’m laugh at the beauty shots of Amanda 💀😂😂😂
Thanks for another really useful video. Really enjoying your website too. One feature that would be great to have on the website would be to search for products according to our hair type/texture, which would then pull up a full list of all the product that are best for each person. Just something to consider.
Putting my favorites in each category here as I play along! Would love to see replies with your favorites/recommendations 🥰
SPLURGE: Shampoo: still searching for my holy grail!
SPLURGE: Conditioner/Deep Conditioner/Leave-In: I LOVE the Curlsmith Multi-Tasking Conditioner. Never fails me! Plus, I almost always use a mask instead of conditioner. The only thing missing from this product is a heat protectant.
SAVE: Hair Treatment: I've tried both Olaplex No. 3 and Curlsmith Bond Rehab Salve, but I find that they both do about the same for me, and since my hair isn't too damaged it isn't worth the splurge.
SAVE: Brush: Original Tangle Teezer. I'm interested in their wide tooth comb, though! And love the wet brush for detangling in the shower.
SAVE: Curl Cream: The OG! Shea Moisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie
SPLURGE: Gel: Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer
SAVE: Mousse: Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Mousse
SPLURGE: Hair Oils: I LOVE the Bread Beauty Supply Hair Oil.
SAVE: Refresh Sprays: I actually only use the Verb Curl Foaming Gel @ManesByMell for refreshing! I find it most effective in this step of my routine.
SAVE: Dry Shampoo/Texture Sprays/Hairsprays: aren't a part of my routine. Open to recommendations!
MID-RANGE: Hair Dryer: I use the Dyson Supersonic, but honestly find that the price tag doesn't justify the benefits. If I could go back, I'd probably buy the Shark FlexStyle which is still a high quality dryer while also being less expensive and more versatile.
This was lots of fun! Loved the video, all you Guido Siblings!
15-25€ is high end to me in any product category 😅
I feel like for everything except hair treatment you can save. My favorite gel is from dove and it is even better than ouidad frizz control
Mell, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart that I've found your channel years ago, see you grow and now the website is an absolute blessing. And you're canadian 🙌🏼 My hair has changed so beautifully since i followed your tips! I still have some flat hair issues because i used to straightened it all the time when i was younger but it's getting better! I'll try different products from what I started because now that my hair is healthier, I want to enhance my curls.
Amanda with the fan! 😂😂
Entertaining and informative!?! Y’all are so talented!!
Lol I love the humor all the way ☺️and the info is insightful! Helps me with hair shopping lol the deep conditioning voice xD
The hair brush part was the best! "Why, because you have never used a brush on your God damn head?!" OMG Hilarious! LOL 🤣🤣
I think this is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever done, so well done!
thank you samantha!! we had a LOT of fun (if you couldnt tell) hahaha
I had no idea I could use a dry shampoo as a curly head, I always thought that it would dry my roots way too much since it's not that oily (I wash 2 to 3 times a week) Welp, you just proved me wrong and I'm not mad at it, I like learning new things about hair care :)
I watched the entire video while styling and drying my hair. I tend to get high-end affordable drugstore products for my hair 😊
Could you please do an individual video on each category, giving examples of products you recommend (?). Thanks for the video 🥰💖
I prefer to spend more on conditioner, but I do want to try a hair mousse just to see if my hair likes it.
So creative. Thanks for the entertainment and information.
Mel I want to thank you for ur content. I’m a wavy girl and I finally managed to use my hair beautifully even on day 4 ❤
I agree with all of your answers although I was kinda on the fence about leave in conditioner. After hearing the explanation i agree with you about going midrange. I color treat my hair and appreciate your help and fun approach. I enjoyed playing 😂 for dry shampoo I like dove or nexus
I absolutely love your videos! You’re so helpful, and give great advice. You and your Sees, both are so beautiful & silly, I love it! Keep up the amazing work & thanks for providing help for us who have been so lost on love for our curls.
this video is so good but mel whatever lipstick you’re using is really working for you! i literally can stop looking at them it compliments your skin so so well it’s beautiful! love!!!
This was SUCH a fun and comedic video! The amount of times I laughed out loud lol! Also I love that amanda kept dropping the products ❤❤
Products are so fun! I've got a stash to work through before I buy anything, but I still can't wait to see what you recommend 😁
Here in the States I got a Evolve brush with removable bristle rows identical to the denman brush from TJ Maxx for $3.50.
For whatever reason, my hair seems to LOVE the Marc Anthony Hydrating Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Curl Cream. I’ve tried many other curl creams but that seems to be the one my hair keeps asking for.
My favorite part was Mel and Anthony laughing. Almost identical.
Lol.....poor Anthony!! I say keep him! I say keep showgirl Amanda but give her extra balancing practice. 😂😂😂 Great fun Mel and thanks for the advice as well. I say mid range or splurge on shampoo. Save on conditioners, splurge on styles but some good mid range ones also exist.
Great video! And also, your poor brother 😂
Amanda with the tray lmaooo I love y’all
12) Save. Was addicted in the 80s/90s but mostly for masking the smell of cigarette smoke! 😩 Got some but can’t go there again
I can't wait to see what i have wasted money on! 😢😂❤
LOL well this is more of a fun game of "where is our money best spent" featuring a very special guest we cant wait for you to meet. Also I would like to note that no money was wasted if you enjoyed using it!!
😂Loved this informative video. I really enjoyed your sense of humor.❤
One of the best episodes ever! We need more Anthony!😊😊😊
9) Save. Regular brands work fine. Probably silicone. Usually argan. Tried olive etc but too heavy
These are my guesses:
Shampoo: Save
Conditioner: Spend
Deep Conditioner: Spend
Treatment: Spend
Leave-in Conditioner: Spend
Hair Brush: Save
Curl Cream: Save
Hair Gel/Mousse: Save
Hair Serum/Oil: Spend
Refresh Spray: Save
Dry Shampoo/Texture Spray: Save
Hair Spray: Spend
Hair Drier: Spend
So basically I got only 3/13 right. :D
This video was so much fun! Great job everybody!
Anthony did a great job ❗️
Anthony tried his best lmao! But the dryer, come on now those hints were heavyyyy
I've tried a bunch of refresh sprays and they just make my hair gummy or sticky, and my curls don't curl up right. A little water and a tiny bit more or my styling products does better
Same here!
Refreshing sprays don't work for me either. I have to just wash my hair all over again and apply styling products.
Your brother did a great job! You taught him well!😊 Love the video! 💖
I love you Mell you crack me up every time 😂.. And your hair is gorgeous ❤
I love your energy Mell 🥰
Haha I hadn’t seen this video yet. So good.
The role of Amanda as well, perfectly executed!!! 😹
Excellent bloopers 😂😂😂
I always learn something when I watch your videos! Thanks again Mell! ❤
What a fun video! Thank you curly hair seesters and brother!
That was a great entertaining video, Anthony was a great sport.
I’m going to have to disagree on the hair brush! The wet brush is still less than 10 bucks, and I’ve used the same one for 5+ years!
The seesters and the bro, love it 😍😂. I splurge on shampoos and hair treatments for sure 😂 💰
I’ve so far a firm believer on splurging on my curl cream and gel (I’m looking at you VERB, you’ve spoiled me). Shampoo (except for chelating/clarifying) and conditioner I’m like EHHHHH on, same with leave in.
I’m waiting for the Dyson verdict!
Do you recommend using sulfates and silicones? I’m black & have naturally curly hair and I feel like when I used to use Pantene back in the day, my hair was thriving and growing. Silicones to me feel like they protect my hair like when I use heat on it and when I wear it curly, but I haven’t used silicones when my hair was curly in a while.
Not sure about sulfates, but I’ve definitely seen her say she likes silicones! They smooth the hair well. She has her favourite products but she seems to acknowledge that everyone’s hair is different and if something works well for you, you should do it! I’m not black myself and my hair’s only wavy but I have heard other black people with curly hair say they had a good experience with those products, even though I know not everyone does. It sounds like they worked really well for you before, so I think that means it’s worth trying again! If they have a travel set I find that’s good way to test out hair products? Good luck!!
Loved the funny blooper, I needed that laugh 10:38
