When Mel's low volume style is about the same as my max volume 😭😭 I still feel like I'm in denial about my own texture change, it used to be so much curlier
We love how you and YOUR hair has evolved. :) Now you can show your subscribers more variety on styles, textures, dyes, curl patterns, routines and the reality of life's changes on our hair. Through all the trends we go through, you remind and show us that curly hair can ALWAYS be in SZN.
I would love to know the best way to section hair for brush styling. I’ve tried several methods and use alligator clips, but still seem to capture already brushed or not brushed hair in my brush. Is that enough brush words? 😂
I actually have been styling my hair like this for the last few washes and I thought it was because I was being lazy when diffusing, but now I'm taking this as a sign that I'm just being on trend! Love you Mell!
I got the same hair cut and I also was trying to achieve the same look but always ended up with crispy flattened hair, the sleep-on/steamer trick is BRILLIANT .. thank you
Tbh, my hair routine has gotten so much better since switching to that type of brush. It’s easier and faster. And my curly are doing much better especially after a balayage. Recommend that brush 100%
Omg I love you Mell ❤ Your videos are always on point and have helped me so much with my curls😊 Super grateful for your videos you and Amanda are amazing ✨ Keep doing what you’re doing ( My fav RUclips channel ☺️❣️)
Hey Mell, I want to apologize! I told you on one of your videos back in August I was sorry I ever started down this Rabbit Hole of my Curly Hair journey. I was very frustrated I wasn't having any luck. But I have stuck with it and your videos have helped tremendously! I love your Bob and your hair color. I am working on my Stylist to get my color to look like yours. Not quite there yet! 😘Love you and Amanda! Actually I think my hair is more like Amandas.
Shelly, no need to apologize!!! I know it can get frustrating, that mostly happens when we try everything at once and become perfectionists. There’s no “perfecting” curls, and once you can accept their natural beauty in all their right, you fall more and more in love with it and your results get better and better. I’m glad you’re sticking to it!!! Hope you reach all your hair goals soon. Thank you so much for watching 💞💞
❤ hey Mell, love you and what you have done for curly hair - getting us to take more time for selfcare and getting us to look our best, while learning a lot. I would love to see an update mens styling routine for different lengths and curl patterns. Maybe using some models, using neutral/masculine smelling products, having a minimal to maximal routine, humid and dry climate recommendations, all that good stuff. I feel like a lot of men now want to get into caring for their curly hair but the industry and media has ostracised them a bit. Again, thank you for everything. Here I am living my best curly life because of you. I even cut my mum's hair using your vids - she is very attached to her hair but loved it❤
Love your latest style, but then you always look beautiful. Thank you for putting me on the right track in getting me through the rough times learning to get the curls in shape. You are the best teacher. Because of you I’m sticking with the curls.
The tighter more compact wash and go works really well for 3C/4A hair like mine. It's fully rounded on the third day and that's the day I get back in the 🚿 to pull it back down again.
I just had to come back and say I tried this styling method yesterday evening when I finally had a chance to take a shower.. LOL!!! So.. I LOVE how it looks... BUT.. because my hair is so high density and so thick, it took FOREVER to dry, even with my Dyson! LOL!! It did last phenomenally through the night, I took my bonnet off this morning and just did a little fluff and it looks perfect still! My husband loves it, says it looks "fancy" this way. I can see easily how adding some sparkly clips and such could make it festive too... But for me, definitely a style that I need to leave a TON of time to do, since it took so long to dry. I probably used too much gel on it, with the jelly type gels, I tend to be too heavy handed, fearing it's not gonna hold my hair. LOL! I'll continue to experiment with less gel... But do love this!!!
Wow just wow ! This new style is giving 90s. I love it and made me soooo nostalgic ❤ I love your unhinged moments. Randomly just deciding you needed to color your hair 😂
A great alternative option for the Aveda be curly gel, is the shea moisture defining coconut+hibiscus styling gel. It has the same consistency as this aveda gel and it gives my hair great results and holds my curls. P.S. Mel- I’ve been loving the sleeker bob too. I cut my hair when you cut yours and honestly it’s been growing out a bit but I’ve grown to like a more tamed curly bob rather than the lions mane, lately. Thanks for the styling tips. Going to buy some clips to help keep that sleeker look!
as a curly girl who actually likes a defined part (or parting? idk) and doesn’t mind a little less volume at the roots this style looks amazing esp with that mlbb dewy lip she just gets it 🤝🏻🙂↕️
I came to your channel cuz I want to try new hair products and was just wondering what your updated hair routine was. Come to find you this is exactly what you were gonna talk about today! Amazing coincidence 🤯 Thank you and Amanda for the content❤ Definitely wanna get some of these products during the Black Friday sales😁
Hey Mell! Just watched the intro, and before I watch the rest of the video, I just wanted to say that I’m so happy because this is the first video on your channel that I’m watching as soon as it goes live on Texture Thursday( it was Texture Tuesday back then lol) since 2022. I used to watch your videos as soon as I get the notification. I kinda fell off my normal routine because I’ve been going through a lot of trauma(a pretty bad and messy breakup and many other stuff ), and waiting for and watching your weekly videos as soon as they get uploaded remind me of my normal self. I’ve also been binging and catching up on the videos that I missed. It’s been part of my healing journey to return back to doing what I love. I’m also going through a lot of hair loss due to all the stress that I’ve been through and lack of care for my hair due to depression, but refreshing my memory about haircare from my favorite RUclips creator seems to be helping a lot ! I forgot how much you made me smile and laugh. 😂❤ Just wanted to share this with you ! ❤
Sara don’t make me cry now!! (I’m crying). Im so sorry that you’ve been going through it. I get it, been there too and understand just how low the lows can get but I’m so touched that this video brought you a bit of nostalgia, and hopefully the inspiration to get back to your hair routine!! Your sparkle is coming back sweetie, I can see it 🤩🤩 thank you for sharing your story, time watching, and trust in your hair with me ❤️ love you
@@ManesByMell thank you so much for your emotional and kind words ! Sorry for making you cry, you’re very emotional just like me lol 🥹Although you don’t share too much of your personal life details online, you’re one of the few authentic people on social media that connect to their audience on a deeper level, and that’s why I was able, and also wanted, to share my feelings with you. I knew you would just get it. Thank you so much again, and yes, I really hope so! ❤️
Yaas to the witchy / ASTROLOGY NATURAL life spiritual vibes yas yas mam! I need this style cause i gave my hair the BOB w my left over “bangs” area and i always want ny hair to feel longer & stretched but i dont wanna heat it to straighten it. Ive been feeling the long wavy gibes but i can NOT for the life of me make it happen musch less w out heat or braiding for a day and a half!
Hi Mel, Just came here to say you are absolutely gorgeous without makeup 😍😘 loved the video and need to sleep to wake up early to wash the hair cause it’s too late now 🤣🤣 I wish I could wash at night when my children are sleeping lol
Just here to remind you to get a 4k camera. What is smartest is to buy second hand ones because this will save you 1000$+. Great models I recommend buying second hand: Fuji xt3, lumix g9 or lumix gh5 Going from 1080p to 4k is like going from 480p to 1080p. 4k is 2 steps above 1080p. It's the best investment you can make I really hope I convinced you :D I'm not sure if phones are good enough with overheating and storage and stuff if you shoot long vids. I would personally just get 4k camera + a nice mic for it and then you're set for the next 10 years if not more I heard not having 4k60fps in 2025 will be a crime sooo 😂😂im just saying its super obvious on computer screens ur vids look grainy ;/ Either way love the vids hope you do a men series one day :)
When I know mell is filming late at night it gives me literal anxiety thinking she is working through the night because my brain doesn’t function past 6 pm but I know she’s a night owl and there is nothing I can do about it / explains why I answered the phone right away and why I was not about her doing her color at first😅
Hi Mel, I’ve tried 3 times to contact you for the news letter bc my email changed but I’ve gotten no new emails from you. Please tell me what I’m suppose to do to get the news letter going to my new email?
Night showers for the win. I HATE getting in bed 'dirty'. Also, why shower in the mornings when I could be sleeping 😅
You get me
Last week's video audio wasn't fixed 😕? You can't do a voice over with the distorted, no audio (majority of it) uploaded video? @@ManesByMell
When Mel's low volume style is about the same as my max volume 😭😭
I still feel like I'm in denial about my own texture change, it used to be so much curlier

This flatter elongated look is exactly what i want my hair to be when i just wake up & go. Most days!

AWH Alanis!!! Thank you so much, hope you had fun watching 💞💞
Mel,you look so pretty with no makeup.
Stunning look at the end, as always. Was having flash-backs to me in the 90's at 23:09 though, crispy hair & black lipstick all the way! 😂
Iconic looks were crafted in the 90s

I have TONS of hair products in my shower, too! You’d think I have ten people living with me!
LOL just in case 10 people need to use it you know!! Amanda showers in mine all the time so that helps me justify my overstock
Is there a difference between Moisture and Hydratation ? Thanks you. Love all your video and your Energy!

Omg Mell, my wallet is crying…I want to try so many of these products, especially that gel. The hold is * chefs kiss *
Black Friday sales are coming friend!! Thanks for watching 🩷🩷
I love the light colour on your hair Mel. Can you say what shade it is please? ❤
Wow just wow ! This new style is giving 90s. I love it and made me soooo nostalgic ❤ I love your unhinged moments. Randomly just deciding you needed to color your hair 😂
It came over me like a tidal wave I just HAD to! LOL! Thanks for watching 🩷🩷
Thats how my whole top layer does - how urs did when u didnt scrunch urs and clipped it down. My whole top layer just goes flat
MEL I loveeeee your hair like this!!! so cute!!!
Love Dermalogica and Paula's Choice. Paula makes some amazing body products, too.
Mell: I can’t wait to go to bed
Also Mell: colours and cuts her hair instead
Literally within the same breath as “I’m ready for bed” “I should color and cut my hair” LMFAOO unhinged

Is it possible to book an appointment with you for you to show me how to do my hair?
I know you don't like the word "cute", but I'm 54 and that hairstyle is cute. I love the bangs, especially!
I’ll accept cute, just this once. Hehehe. Thank you!! Always fun to switch it up 🩷🩷

You know I had to bring it to ya!!! Thanks for watching 💞💞
The hairstyle and makeup is 🔥. Cant wait to shop for all the Black Friday deals. Looking forward tk trying something new other than curlsmith and AG.
I recommend innersense!
@ thank you! I’ll look into this product.
Omg this new style is so hot on you 🔥
Ya it’s giving BADDIIEEEEEEE. With a beanie 😋
I also like the camera and how it followed you
When you came back with all the clips it's so giving Renoly Santiago from Hackers.
Missd a chance when u had water drip off ur fingers to do a cute slow mo w water sounds or just whatever watching that water droplet lol 🩵💦
I was wondering if you had heard of anyone using a pet steamer on their hair... Just thinking of different ways to dampen hair.
I wanna hear about Wicked!! From a fellow theatre kid 💚🩷💚🩷
Love it Mel 💕

Was that a Hot Chick reference?
Oh no I don’t think I know hot chick so, probably not :’)
@ManesByMell it's the "it's me Jessica! I'm in here"

First!!!
The way you call your sister for her advice just to turn down her advice. Stahp! I have trauma from my siblings being like that.
LMAOO I just needed to let her know where I was in my thought process, to help keep her up at night 🤪🤪
And then she had the nerve to say that I kept her on the phone 😅
