Curl-Enhancing Styling Routine Tutorial For Wavy Hair

Hannalise Curry: This is very similar to my texture, except one half of my head has tighter curls and the other is pretty flat and uneven. If you’ve got this wave pattern, you know how difficult it can be to style. Usually it just end up either a)poofy or b)flat and stringy. I think you did a great job enhancing what she’s got. ❤️

Derrick Jennifer Watkins: Love the curtain bangs! I too wear my hair wavy but like to blow out my bangs sometimes!

C Tran: I wish I could have her work with my hair….!!! My whole life my hair has always been called frizzy by hair dressers and it is … because it’s supposed to be wavy. It’s not very wavy, anything I have is lose but it’s definitely meant to be wavy and i feel like I can’t get anyone to give me the haircut I want/need

Library of Lily lol: Love it! I have a similar goal: definition over volume. When experimenting with wavy hair stuff, I ended up making it really volumous the first time, and it made me feel actually very dysphoric. So I experimented a bit. I got really good results with pin curls at night - in only two clumps (I only have my side bangs long and everything else is shaved to about an inch except my front bangs). And I curled inward not outward so that the waves at the top of my head lay flat and don't pop out. That way I can have really cute flat hair styles up top and big wavy curls cascading down wherever I want them in my hair. I love it, and I think I'm going to keep up that nighttime routine of smoothing and pin curling. I was worried about brushing out my hair on non-wash days but I tried it out and first of all, after I did all the stuff on wash day, subsequent brushing and combing did NOT frizz it out all that much - it stayed loosely wavy and re-clumped as I moved around. And then I just dampened to smooth out, let it dry, and pin curled for the night (overall, it was a 5 min routine plus like 20 min of drying in front of a fan while playing my nightly video game).

Libirdie: Can curly hair salons become a trend? We need more options to help us frizzy girls out!

Claire: Would love to see a routine for wavies for volume!

anon: OMG, Mell! ❤ You look STUNNING with dark brown hair. I’m in love I think this is your color!

MommaMarmar: Love it!!! Looks amazing <3

Gratitudes: Mel. Oh my goodness. Your hair towels are fabulous. I’ve been using the wrong texture all this time. My hair felt incredible after plopping. Thank you so much.

Meh: I'm having a curly hair issue: So I have type 3 curls and when I style them on day one they're defined, I'm having trouble getting volume but that's besides the point. During the night I sleep with my hair in a pineapple and then my bonnet. On day two my curls are all gone and there's lack of definition. How do I fix this?

Kelcie M.: This looks amazing ✨

sarah: Looks so good! I feel like I have the same texture but I struggle so much with the waves falling

Girl: Thank you ,, I needed this Less sections xx mine is so fine and long

Erin McTague: Giving me mermaid vibes

J: So pretty

Katy Azimuth: What do you do differently if you want to prioritize volume over definition?

Mandie Atwood: I love it! Growing up I would notice how my friends were able to play after a pool day or after showers and that their hair didn't become a giant puffy frizzy mess. I didn't understand what I was doing wrong! They didn't put anything in their hair. They didn't tie it up. They didn't braid it. Man I was so jealous! Later I learned mine was so different because it was wavy and curly. I was so frustrated! I had to WORK to get it smooth and WORK to get it to curl! Hell, I'm 38 and still trying to figure it out! Mel, you're a great teacher! Wish you could come do my hair!! Hahaha ☺

Carmel Rose: Beautiful hairssss

ARI: She looks amazing. Ugh I wish you could do my hair. I have never had a curly haircut by a pro before.

💖Lizard💖: How do you tell if your hair is curly/wavy

Naima Irfan: Amazing. I need her to work on my hair but I live far away in Pakistan.

Amanda Madrigal: Wish you were my hair stylist. I feel like some do not know how to style wavy curly hair.

Sophia Aloeristok: The results

Jacqueline KenKnight: My texture is similar but I use a denman and curl my hair around the handle. Then I release it and scrunch in gel or foam after. I get several honest to goodness ringlets!! I feel that technique works to give the waves way more definition. Of course my hair is fine, thin, and shorter than hers so it doesn’t get as weighed down. I want to try the verb foam so badly but I have so many hair care products I need to work through before buying more. My collection is obscene

Lenneke Veraart: So beautiful

kyliee c.: Will the mouse be available internationally soon?❤️

A. B.: I get such stringy hair if I try brushing or styling this much after washing it because it flash drys. Idk what to do.

Carol G: Looks really pretty

Opal Jade: I have never found a product that doesn't weight my hair down. My hair is long and I am thinking of cutting it but I do love my long hair even at my age (62), Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Aicee Conde: I have the same result with my hair, I thought I'm doing it all wrong because it does not have much ringlet, it's a relief after seeing this. (I have waist length hair)

Christi Farris: She looks great! I wish I was your cousin...

lovely lipsticklady: Love it! ❤️ I need your help with my hair.

Cleocatra: I love you Mel the chocolate hair doesnt look bad at all i just prefer you with some gold or highlights I think. Great job on the wavy girl.

Ky: im intrigued how am i supposed to use a diffuser?

potato pirate: Omg, idk where I've been but I missed that Verb product! Look at our girl! On my way to buy some just to show support.

Carla Shibayama: Yeah..this is what it is..I’m opting for upstyles using only camellia oil that suits my hair and the very humid climate I live in..thank you for directing me toward it….upstyles and hair accessories are what I’m found to work for me..again..I learned so much from you and your “subjects”…

Stephanie Contartesi: I have a question for you Mel, my hair is naturally curly and I went from being blonde to Brown and I noticed as it grew out, I had a lot of gray in the front and not to much in back, I couldn't see it when it was blond, so I showed the woman about 10 pictures of like dark with a lot of different color blondes and a very light blonde in the front to cover the gray. What she gave me was black hair with gray highlights, I'm so pissed, I told her don't cut it unless it's uneven but she didn't listen, I said my hair curls better when it's long, she cut like two inches off charged me a hell of a lot of money, now that my hair is disgusting, is there anything I can do with the color besides wait.

Bhanu priya Reddy: Super

Chloie Bonney-Phillips: Beautiful

BiEmoCowgirl(wtf): "sma- i.. i, i mean, it looks great!" :>

Kathy Sahori:

Stéphanie: Cute! Wait is that your cousin?

Erica Elliott: I love she looks beautiful. Grate j9b.

Susan B: Did you do large ribbon clumps because she has looser waves? I think I remember you saying that in Cassandra Bankson’s video

Miriam Neal: I like

Flood14: Nothing you applied after the K18 could really reach the hair. It totally coates the hair. It even says it on the label. Mimedic. Meaning artificial. You usually use better stuff than this. I love your work, but this product? Nah.

LovelyDani: Y'all are out here just creating curls

Flood14: No M18 get real. Read the label. Fake stuff. No, no, no.

N C: She looks lik3 Mell

AIDA: Friend if you have to utilize all them products n techniques, is it really natural?

Adam Yusuf: You made her look homeless and greasy
