I love how she acts like her 2nd day curls are a mess when they are literally a beautiful mess of bouncy ringlets that I would kill for. You’re blessed girl 😂 great video! I normally rinse my hair in the shower again, but I’ll try the spray bottle method and see how it works...
I really appreciate this video! I am 61 years old, I grew out my four year old pixie and now I have curls! I’ve never had curls! Stick straight until my 40’s when a wave arrived and now this and I love it! I need help figuring this out! My stylist is helping me AND I’m scouring the internet for tips so thank you for your videos!
All of you that say you can’t brush because you get frizz, you may need more water. And then like she said you add a little more product. I have also found that if you saturate the curls then either scrunch or finger define the problem areas, the old product will reactivate. My hair is very fine but very thirsty so it doesn’t take much for me but I learned I just needed a little more water. MEL I ❤️YOU! You are my hair twin and inspiration!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mel. I'm getting lots of compliments on my hair since I started using your techniques. Not only are you informative but you are also very entertaining...and beautiful! You're a star 🌟! Keep up the good work😊
for me this really helped!! Thanks a lot. All I did was spray my hair, make it a bit moist, took out a little bit of aloe vera gel, smoothed it through and scrunched it through while hanging upside down. I am no poo for a few years now so I'm not using all the products you're using but for me this worked great, thanks!
Love your videos! I've had curly hair my whole life but because my mom has pin striaght hair I have never known how to properly care for my hair. Now at 30 I finally know how thank you!
My hair is a mix of 2b and 2c and I swear, your curls are literally my ideal. You're so pretty and I love your personality 💗 I love your videos, thank you so much!!
I’d usually only add this spray to reduce my frizz in the morning and it looks okay but my curls aren’t as nice on the second day so this helped a lot so thank you, now I know how to refresh my curls without needing to wash my hair almost everyday.
You just explained soooo much to me. Thank goodness for you Mel. When refreshing I put in more product and my hair becomes all crazy and stupid and although I brush it to detangle, after I am done refreshing it all, my hair is a tangled mess. I’m gonna do exactly this next time and see what happens.
Well not 100 percent tangled but it just feels gross (but my hair does get tangly just from moving it from one side to another). But anyways before I refresh my hair feels great and smooth and clean (just not as curly), then I refresh with more products and the end result is just not good.
Man, I'd be stoked as hell if - after I got done styling and fiddling with it - my hair looked HALF as good as yours does at the BEGINING of this video. I struggle!
Wow ...when this isnt send from the universerve to me i dont know ..i just thought yesterday after watching your vdo how to style my curls (i did it and it was a sucsess .thanks a bunch girl)i need to ask how to refresh them a day after washing ...and it just popped up this morning.....thanks again....my curls and i are very happy...because you all know how a bad hair day feels...:-)
Thank you so much! My hair looks so bad by day two or three that I was considering giving up curly girl altogether. But I really feel encouraged that this will help.
Lol one day, I was wanting to start retraining my hair, moisturizing, frizz-less, and just let my curls be themselves! I searched RUclips and boom there you were! 🤣😂🤣😂 you literally are the best hair tutorial creator I’ve ever seen! Yes! Like the Intro, I literally went from flab to abs 😂🤣😂🤣 because that’s me right now! Oh man! I couldn’t stop laughing, watched the intro I think at least 10 times before I said “CiCi, you came here for a reason!” Thank you so much! My hair has been looking so fine because watched your vids! Oh man!
Cute. You explain why when I do this to my son’s hair it seems to work. I do not have to wash his hair when it looks crazy, but smells clean his hair looks similar to yours. Now I will do this routine more often and not feel like I NEED to wash every three days.
I love your vids. I've been on the curly journey for 9 months now to revive what I was killing for so many years and I can't even tell you how many videos I've watched on curly hair routines. but YOU... are the ONLY one I've seen who has the EXACT hair that I have, like no one else comes close!! so I'm so glad I found you, so I can bring my hair to the next level. Thank you! You are also just super entertaining and fun to watch
Queue the music! My whole life has changed since you came in - I knew right then - that you were that special one (who saved my refresh routine)! This helped A LOT! I didn’t know I had to comb my curls a certain way from my head. Thank you!
I hope she will sell it in German stores .The only curly hair brand we have in Germany is Cantu and they only sell 5 products it’s so hard here to find nice product 😪
🙏🏽 Thank you so much for this video. I had a family portret photos shoot, this morning, and your reaction (intro) from this video was actually mine this morning. I've fixed it. And my curls looked fabulous. BTW: this was the first time I ever took formal pictures with my curly hair.
Holy 💩! Just tried this refresh and my curl definition is amazingly crazy different with just a little extra product and water. Luv your method of diffusing, it makes so much sense.
*OH MY LAWD* was anyone else horrified when she started to brush her hair? Like I get why she would. I understand that her hair looks fantastic but GIRL if a comb or a brush touches my hair, you best believe it's wash day for me.
It worked really well for her but I’m afraid to try it on mine. Might have to experiment. Usually the only time I brush it is right before I wash it so I don’t have to clean out a big wad of loose hair out of the drain.
4 my day 2+curls, I have been doing a bottle method too . Add to water a conditioning agent & alcohol free curl booster shake , spray & diffuse or Air dry=STYLE
Suuper 👏 helpful 👏. Thanks for sharing, Mel! 🌟 I’ve been so jazzed to find curlies like you, who understand the hair science 🧪🧬 and the methods and then DEMO the methods. 🥴 I have learned so so much. My healthy curls thank you 🙏.
you're doing it and explaining it in a simple way.. glad i found this video since i struggle alot with refreshing and hate seeing others just spraying some water and some leave and they end up with perfect curls. i mean whenever i do it i end up with frizz as i've been doing it wrong
HILARIOUS! 😂😂 That’s exactly how I react to my reflection every morning 😂 I’m trying to embrace my curls after straightening my hair for around 15 years. I’m 3 weeks in and needing a trim , so I have the “little old lady” vibe going on 😳😬 Does anyone have tips for growing curly hair without looking like a complete puff ball?
Me too it's been 15 or more years. I'd say get a spray bottle and use water + leave in or curl refresher and scrunch. If you dont wanna rewet it use a curling iron where needed.
I do not really like using a diffuser because it tends to loosen my curls if I over do it. However it does boost up volume.. I also combine argan oil and Cantu cream to tighten my curls... CURL POWER 👍👍
What do you think about haircuts for curly hair? Dry or wet? I’ve had several Devacurl dry haircuts and think my layers are uneven and will go back to a wet haircut next time. Very helpful video for refreshing and I will try using the wet brush. Do you also use it on wash day when applying styling products? Thanks
Omg I almost dropped my phone I was so shocked when you picked up the brush 😆 I never would have thought you could brush curly hair (other than in the shower full of conditioner) and NOT screw it up and create frizz. 😆 I’m pretty new here, I’ve only watched a few of our videos so far, someone shared your diffusing one in a Facebook curly group I’m part of, and now I’m hooked! 😉 Thanks for putting out great curly content and keep up the good work! 😁😁
I really love your hair. My niece has the same hair but her mother keeps on cutting her hair by a dude that doesn't know how to cut curls, the poor girl walks around with triangle hair. It makes her insecure so she constantly wears her hair in a tight bun on her head what causes breakage.
@@Drkyuminator yes, it is a shame cause she doesn't know how beautiful her hair can be, her mother even straightent her hair while she was 9, it caused so much damage. My niece always tells me how she hates her hair.
Jane Doe so sad!☹️ Buy your niece hair products for her birthday or just get her some for whatever reason and have a “spa day” wash her hair and apply it for her. She’ll love you and her hair forever once she knows how to take care of it!
Question what about for long hair do you recommend perhaps maybe just doing a shower for a little bit on your hair after like a work out? So my issue is I wash my hair every 2 to 3 days I work out every day after a work out you know you still have some sweat and oil which is great for the hair but it kind of gets kind of nasty inside the scout. So should I just shower and just rinse my hair and maybe add some more conditioner? Please advise and you’re great. Exclamation
Would you diffuse your hair or let it dry naturally after you have refreshed it ? Love your channel and so thankful I found it! I loved your video on why you don't follow the CGM, I was reading about it and even joined some FB groups and it got really overwhelming, so watching your video helped put my mind at ease about not having to follow it completely. Thank you.
I decided to follow you just now because you're so cute & bubbly! Oh.....and because I need some tips and how to's on caring for my type 2C curly waves.
My day 2 hair is greasy i used to shampoo 2-3x a week for years and it didnt help I have 2b/2c wavy curly low porosity, very long (layered) thick hair. Straight on top and a widows peak which makes me parting a challenge. Any advise?! **my hair is better since watching your videos! VERY helpful
My too!!! And tangled! So no choice but to refresh every day in between washings. UGH!!! I don't understand how in these videos they say they don't have to refresh??? Someone enlighten me Please! lol :)
Hi Mel! Have been binge watching your videos...had a question...do you have a video talking about alcohols in gels? I'd love to know if it is true that alcohols are all bad or, if as you shown in other videos, there are different types of alcohol and some that are ok. Thanks a lot!
What about after working out? That's my biggest prob. I can go 3-4 days if I don't work out. But the bun and the sweat make it last ehhh 2...in a gross way.
@khryskayne664 I think in one of Mell's other videos she shows how she uses the facial steamer that's how I started using it, np damage to my hair just humidity
My hair is very dry and I usually have to refresh almost everyday, I normally tie it up in the night because I don’t have satin pillows or a bonnet yet to protect, I see you and a lot of the people in the comments don’t have to do this, would you say it’s bad to refresh and moisture hair on a daily if I wake up with it dry most of the time ?
Nah....I have the same problem and I watched videos for people who have hair problems like mine and they say depending on how much moisture u need....u can moisturize it everyday or several times a day but just don't over do it
it is my understanding that your hair can never get enough water :) I too have really dry hair and need to refresh every day haha but im no professional, this is just what I think :)
How do you *not* get your hair mangled throughout the day , putting it in buns/ ponytails, but more keeping it together over night? Do you just spray it with water and rescrunch most the time or??
I just started watching your videos and I'm hooked. You make it so interesting and fun to watch. Most videos are boring and drawn out but your videos are actually fun AND educational. Thank you for taking the time to try and help us curly girls figure this stuff out. I'm still not sure what is going to work for me but I'm trying to find that out. Please keep posting and I will continue to watch. What state do you work in? Not sure if your at a salon by me too book an appointment
You said you never refreshing your hair because your day 2 is your best hair day, so what did you do wrong for it to look like that on 2 day and needed to be refreshed? I'm curious to know what to avoid. Thank you so much for everything!
You funny! And bring a lot of useful information! But I can’t imagine the work you have editing the videos 😱 I do mine so simple and it takes me a lifetime so ahahaha Congratulations ❤️
Hey ! Thank you for the videos and laughter. I was wondering: What about after sweating at the gym? Or when you swim during the week in a pool for exercise? Any additional tips for refreshing or protecting the curly hair for those situations? Please any suggestions are welcome : D
How often do you recommend washing your hair if you work out and get sweaty? I can’t last a whole week without washing!! But at the same time I don’t want to wash too often.
I should have said I use a antiperspirant-deodorant not the ones that are like a gel. The ones that are more like a powder. Yet basically it works the same as using it under your arms. And if scented also works to help disguise the odor. Try it the worse that can happen it does not work for you. I find it hard to separate my hair in sections and brush out dry shampoo. (when I allow my curly hair to do its thing) Definitely will use it for when I straighten my hair. Another way I stretch one more day of not washing hair is I buy at the drugstore Wintergreen rubbing alcohol put it into a small spray bottle and spray it directly on the scalp rub it in. It takes about a hour for that stringent smell to go away so keep that in mind. Just consider what causes the scalp to smell. Odor from an oily scalp is caused by bacteria on your scalp, So approach your scalp the way you would try to prevent or cover up odor on your body. After all dry shampoo is basically spraying powder on your scalp. The powder absorbs the oils. 🤔 Just for the heck of it I looked up how Dry shampoos work: Dry shampoo is a powder or a fast-evaporating liquid that you spray or work into your hair that removes excess sebum and other oils and may freshen the scent of your hair.
How do you refresh your hair from having to put up your hair in a pony tail. I'm a server and I workout 4 days a week so I constantly have to put my hair up in a ponytail.
1) You can use a ‘Head Band’ and put a Scrunchy at the bottom not wrapped. 2) Put it in a High Bun with a Soft Scrunchy not wrapping. ***To refresh, 3) just wet your hands with open fingers and run them through the hair. 4) Flip your head forward and shake with your fingers through. JUST DON’T WET IT SO MUCH. That’s all I do. It should be fine since you already have Gel. Try it at home before on your day off and see if it works. Good Luck
@@someoneswig1263 If you can see individual shorter hairs sticking out at your crown and their ends are pointy, then it is not damage. It is probably new young hair, just leave them...
Have you tried using a wide tooth comb just to get the tangles out? I should mention, I have wavy hair with some curls underneath. Brushing it takes out the curl definition and makes it frizzy.
Ruby Edwards yes! I use one in the shower but i feel like if i even mess with my hair at all out of the shower my hair gets flat and ruins the definition! I want to try the denman brush so bad to see if it works
Summer Esseff mine was like that too. Have you tried adding some protein to your routine? Sounds like your hair might be too soft from moisture. I’ve added some protein and it holds its curl much better now. (I started with homemade flaxseed mask but now use Oleplex No3).
I absolutely LOVE your personality! And your hair techniques💖 my question is this, I currently put my gel on in the shower(I'm in early transition) my hair gets frizzy as heck if I dont, but how can I tame the frizz without so much gel? My hair gets so still and the cast dont all break off. I have not HIGH porosity but darn close
I need help , after a shower and hair dry my hair doesn’t show it’s full curls. But after I refresh it it looks so much better and bam I get curls and it looks amazing , Am I using to much product after my shower ?

Nah....I have the same problem and I watched videos for people who have hair problems like mine and they say depending on how much moisture u need....u can moisturize it everyday or several times a day but just don't over do it
it is my understanding that your hair can never get enough water :) I too have really dry hair and need to refresh every day haha but im no professional, this is just what I think :)
Try a bonnet, it’ll change your life! And your hairs ;)
If your hair is that dry you might have hard water
How do you *not* get your hair mangled throughout the day , putting it in buns/ ponytails, but more keeping it together over night? Do you just spray it with water and rescrunch most the time or??
Sooo i got this in my recomendation and in the firat 60 secs i said yepp im gonna love her😂😂😭❤
Whenever i try to refresh my hair and spray water its like instead of looking better it frizzes up WAAY more
Katherine Portillo sameeee so i have to wet it completely and comb it again !!
You may need to add more water
I just started watching your videos and I'm hooked. You make it so interesting and fun to watch. Most videos are boring and drawn out but your videos are actually fun AND educational. Thank you for taking the time to try and help us curly girls figure this stuff out. I'm still not sure what is going to work for me but I'm trying to find that out. Please keep posting and I will continue to watch. What state do you work in? Not sure if your at a salon by me too book an appointment
first video im watching and automatically subscribed after 3 seconds of the intro :')
She legit has the funniest videos 😂😂❤
If your products are not water based, what would you do then?
You said you never refreshing your hair because your day 2 is your best hair day, so what did you do wrong for it to look like that on 2 day and needed to be refreshed? I'm curious to know what to avoid. Thank you so much for everything!
Her bonnet/sleeping cap got her hair all wonky.
I can think of a million reasons but sex is #1
Probably sex 🤭
I have short curly hair and I have no choice but to refresh every morning. There's no getting around it. 😁
did you air dry your air after ? or its better deffiusing it?
You funny! And bring a lot of useful information! But I can’t imagine the work you have editing the videos 😱 I do mine so simple and it takes me a lifetime so ahahaha Congratulations ❤️
Loool sorry but your refreshing hair is my hair on a good day 🤣🙈
Can you do a video a
On how long you won’t wash your hair, and simple hair style for each day
Can you do a video of what products to use??
Hey ! Thank you for the videos and laughter. I was wondering: What about after sweating at the gym? Or when you swim during the week in a pool for exercise? Any additional tips for refreshing or protecting the curly hair for those situations? Please any suggestions are welcome : D
How often do you recommend washing your hair if you work out and get sweaty? I can’t last a whole week without washing!! But at the same time I don’t want to wash too often.
Zenia Carreon I rub deodorant onto my finger tips and rub that onto my scalp.
Viviana Samakusafifi does that really work if so wat does it do
I should have said I use a antiperspirant-deodorant not the ones that are like a gel. The ones that are more like a powder.
Yet basically it works the same as using it under your arms. And if scented also works to help disguise the odor.
Try it the worse that can happen it does not work for you.
I find it hard to separate my hair in sections and brush out dry shampoo. (when I allow my curly hair to do its thing)
Definitely will use it for when I straighten my hair.
Another way I stretch one more day of not washing hair is I buy at the drugstore Wintergreen rubbing alcohol put it into a small spray bottle and spray it directly on the scalp rub it in.
It takes about a hour for that stringent smell to go away so keep that in mind.
Just consider what causes the scalp to smell. Odor from an oily scalp is caused by bacteria on your scalp,
So approach your scalp the way you would try to prevent or cover up odor on your body.
After all dry shampoo is basically spraying powder on your scalp. The powder absorbs the oils.
🤔 Just for the heck of it I looked up how Dry shampoos work:
Dry shampoo is a powder or a fast-evaporating liquid that you spray or work into your hair that removes excess sebum and other oils and may freshen the scent of your hair.
Try to use ayurvedic powders, they will be less bad then shampoo
@@finsterthecat that's going to clog the follicle please dont do that
Can you please show this on a looser curl type?

First time watching and had to subscribe! You’re so funny!
How do you refresh your hair from having to put up your hair in a pony tail. I'm a server and I workout 4 days a week so I constantly have to put my hair up in a ponytail.
1) You can use a ‘Head Band’ and put a Scrunchy at the bottom not wrapped. 2) Put it in a High Bun with a Soft Scrunchy not wrapping. ***To refresh, 3) just wet your hands with open fingers and run them through the hair. 4) Flip your head forward and shake with your fingers through. JUST DON’T WET IT SO MUCH. That’s all I do. It should be fine since you already have Gel. Try it at home before on your day off and see if it works. Good Luck
A 1:15 in and I am like who is she? And why am I late to the party? Your personality has reeled me in.
That lip color is DOPE friend!
You’re the best!! You got a new subscriber! ❤️
Mell! I’m LOVING your help. However...almost ALL of my frizz is at the crown/roots. What should I do? What do I need? Is it breakage?! 😱
If the tips of the frizzy crown hair are kind of whispy (pointed= uncut), it is probably new growth :)
I have the same problem!
@@dunjajovicic404 what do you mean new growth? Should we just leave them?
@@someoneswig1263 If you can see individual shorter hairs sticking out at your crown and their ends are pointy, then it is not damage. It is probably new young hair, just leave them...
I feel like where I brush my hair it totally ruins my curl pattern and like doesnt do my hair ANY justice. Am I just doing it wrong?
Summer Esseff I’m the same! Can NOT brush my hair AT ALL (not even when damp) becos i become hagrid 😞😂
Have you tried using a wide tooth comb just to get the tangles out? I should mention, I have wavy hair with some curls underneath. Brushing it takes out the curl definition and makes it frizzy.
Jessica Burchell I need to invest in one !
Ruby Edwards yes! I use one in the shower but i feel like if i even mess with my hair at all out of the shower my hair gets flat and ruins the definition! I want to try the denman brush so bad to see if it works
Summer Esseff mine was like that too. Have you tried adding some protein to your routine? Sounds like your hair might be too soft from moisture. I’ve added some protein and it holds its curl much better now. (I started with homemade flaxseed mask but now use Oleplex No3).
You are hilarious. Just discovered your videos..keep em comin!!!
Won't be long before you get your own TV show.
Out here doin the lords work. Thanks sis.
How to make sure combing through it wont cause frizz when hair dries?
My new favorite channel
Mel! Help! The front of my hair looks good all week, but the back of my head looks stringy by day 2 or 3 :( what should I do?
Same
Its probably how you sleep with it use a bonnet dont put it in a pineapple
Cookie Monster thank you. Tried it last night (made the scarf bonnet from @ManesbyMell Fridays video) and my hair looks way better.
I absolutely LOVE your personality! And your hair techniques💖 my question is this, I currently put my gel on in the shower(I'm in early transition) my hair gets frizzy as heck if I dont, but how can I tame the frizz without so much gel? My hair gets so still and the cast dont all break off. I have not HIGH porosity but darn close
Have you tried diffusing? Diffusing helps me when I use strong hold gels. But I use it when my hair is mostly dry because wet diffusing gives me frizz
I need help , after a shower and hair dry my hair doesn’t show it’s full curls. But after I refresh it it looks so much better and bam I get curls and it looks amazing , Am I using to much product after my shower ?
Probably the curls are being weighed down based on your products , depending on ur curls you should use light weight creams so it can bounce back
😂 first video and I INSTANTLY SCREAMED WITH YOU followed by subscribing.
Thank you
Ugh I’d kill for your hair! So pretty
