What'S good everybody, it is, I Mel your main girl, also known, as means by mountain, hence the scissors. I am a hair stylist, so today I'm going to be creating a mains by mouth on my own head by giving myself a trim, because I'm long overdue we can see here when I'm wearing black. It really shows how bad my ends have gotten. So, as I'm trimming I'll be explaining to guys why I'm doing what I'm doing, what a trim a trim, just the trim really is when you need to get it done and even how to actually do it, depending on the look you're going for then keep watching This video and let's get to it so first off what is a trim, let's clear this up, really quickly: okay, a trim trim, trim trim is best described as a maintenance for the current hair that you have on your head, so whether you are maintaining a certain Shape that you have or you're maintaining the health of your hair to maintain the length of it, it is simply a cleanup of ends that have thinned out kind of split, broken off and are looking kind of straggly, as we can very clearly see here now. Maybe, let's define what maintenance is maintenance means to maintain. It is a process again to maintain a current shape that you have or to maintain your length. This comes through routine and through regularity. However, a trip is not the only way to maintain healthy hair. There are a number of ways to preserve your hair's health, low manipulation, styles little chemical processing, low heat and using the right products like deep conditioning and repairing treatments, especially the right cleansers and conditioners for your hair type and etc, etc. You may be doing all of these things, but you still need to get a trim. Okay. So when do you need to trim your hair, you need to consider the following one: what is your current hair situation? Is your hair transitioning? Is it colored highlighted, damaged heat styled, often protective styles, etc, etc? Typically, okay, the more you do to your hair, the more you need to maintain it more manipulation into your hair causes more stress on your strands and therefore it causes them to wear and tear and causes your ends. To look like this, they are dry. They are tangley, they are splitting. You got the fairy knots, so if some or all of these things are happening to you, you got a trim in so number three. What is your texture? You need to consider this because thin and fine hair is typically weaker and is more prone to damage. Therefore, it needs to be trimmed more frequently compared to thick strands that are coarser and typically just normal. They can take a little more without getting so damaged. The next thing you want to consider it is what your hair goal is. Are you growing your hair, or are you maintaining a length and a shape? This point helps to give you a better idea of how long to wait in between your trims. If you are growing your hair, you want to give your hair enough time in between your haircuts to actually achieve some length, but before the end start to split, and then you have to cut them all off. This can be anywhere from two months, all the way to six months, depending on your texture and how much you are doing to your hairs. For example, over the past few years I've been highlighting my hair every six to eight weeks and I would trim my hair every six to eight weeks to maintain my ends, but I was also maintaining a shape that I had now, but I'm growing my hair. It'S been four months since I have trimmed it. I also have not highlighted it in that time, and I have now acquired quite a bit of length now, if you're maintaining a shape and typically when the hair is shorter, you need to get your hair cut. More often, otherwise, it just looks really grown out. Okay, now the real, difficult question who should trim your hair, you can most definitely in fact it's encouraged to see a professional, and I do have another video on some science to look out for on how to find your curly hair stylist. However, in this video I'm showing you how I trim my own hair, because there are some people that would prefer to maintain their hair themselves for multiple reasons. So now we need to get into how to cut this is where there's some controversy. So allow me to go and prepare myself: ok, limber up and boom back in I'm better back in on water. Here'S my piece: you can cut hair in whatever state as long as you understand the hair texture, what it's going to do and the shape you're trying to create. So to start, I shampooed conditioned and actually treated my hair as well. I am going to first get myself ready, don't want any hair going on my clothes, I'm going to part my hair, where I usually part it now. I don't necessarily put in a defined part ever, but it is usually parted off to the side off-center there. It looks good, I want it to be a lot of balance in my haircuts. I want even shape all throughout, so I do want to create symmetry from my part and in the haircut itself. So I'm just brushing this through, of course, and the first thing I'm going to be doing is trimming the layers. I want to shape the layers first and then just draw up the ends, because I'm hoping to cut a little bit more off the layers and a little less off of the ends, because I do want to maintain that length. However, the ends do need to be trimmed. When you look at them here, you can see that it gets pretty thin at the bottom, and this is gon na be easy for me. Not only because I'm I understand what I'm doing, but because I really like the shape that my hair is. I just need to take it up about an inch or so, but I'm following what's already in my hair. So if you do like the haircut that you have, it just needs, a trim simply follow. What'S already been cut, so I'm gon na start, I'm gon na. Take a section - and it's a diagonal section and the reason for cutting my hair wet is because I want a really clean shape put into my hair. Now, let's get real real. If you don't know what you're doing it's, not that you can't do this, I just encourage you to do very little at a time, so you can see me even I am very cautious when I'm going in towards my hair, you need to see how the hair Reacts for a minute, so maybe take the section, take a little bit off. Let it bounce back, look at it again. What I'm really trying to create here is a nice rounded shape that is going to be framing my face, which is why I'm pulling everything forward. So I'm gon na have shorter pieces around my face and then towards the back. It'S gon na get a little bit longer kind of create that rounded V cut as well. So I'm over directing is the word pulling all the hair forward. I'M working in diagonal sections as well and one section at a time and simply trimming the hair, as you see it now, if you've been watching me, you know me: I'm a 90 degree girl, I'm always working up up and out out from the natural fall of The head about 90 degrees: this is how I cut my layers as well. I'M always following the head shape working around, so the hairs that are at the top of my head are going to be shorter and then the hair is at the bottom of my head. Are going to be longer, I'm always working out pulling the hair all the way out parallel to my head and cutting around like that, that's how I create my layering, always ninety degree from the head and again pulling everything a little bit forward. That'S also giving me a nice round shape that is shorter in the front and longer towards the back of my head and I'm trying to just take off the same amount all over, which was just about an inch an inch all over my hair. So all the ends get cleaned up. Sometimes the ends look a little more raggedy in some areas and others, and that's because the hair doesn't grow out of your head all at the same length while it grows. So you need to accommodate for that and just try to cut in the cleanest sharpest lines as possible as I'm moving towards the back. I'M purposely turning my head. I am very aware of where my head is turned. I will be doing this exactly on the other side as well to keep that balance if you're on unaware of where you're pulling your hair, where you're turning your head, your haircut is gon na be very jagged and all over the place only because every move matters So if your head is different every time then you're gon na have a very um. Let'S call it a. How do you say? How do you say? You'Re gon na have a more lived-in haircut, which could be okay. If that's look you're going for again, I want it to be nice and clean and sharp and fresh all over. So I'm working the same sections all over. You have to keep your fingers really nice and tight when you're grabbing the hair only work with about an inch section in your hand, at a time otherwise, you're gon na get lost. It'S gon na get crazy, you'll, be overwhelmed and suddenly you're crying because you messed up your haircut so one little section at a time. One little trim at a time remember you can always take off more, but you can't put that hair back on your head and you can see when I'm trimming around my face. I'M really going that short too long, so I'm shorter towards the middle towards the bangs and then, as it goes around my face, I want it to go longer this area of my face. It has very different curl patterns, so I know that I will be going in after with the dry cut to refine so keep watching, because that will be the most important part. To be honest, this is just to get a nice solid, even trim, making sure that no curl gets left behind. But after is where I'm going to detail the curls. So I'm gon na go ahead and sound my hair, as I always do, and I'm going to use products. I'Ve been using for a while now, which is the verb curl collection, starting off with the curl leave-in. This stuff is like milky. It'S super nice and liquidy. So it's very easy to work in the hair prep. My hair, all over with that and now I'm going in with the crow cream, which you can see, is a thicker consistency. I we mean it in these poorest times of mine and just making sure I'm working that in my damp hair and of course, thoroughly distributing that with my Denman brush working in these vertical sections out up up on away from the head, which is gon na. Give me the most amount of volume and curl definition and oh hello, sister, making my way around up and down top of my head is horizontal thinning in and then working like this's fun boom. So now I shall diffuse my hair dry using my hover technique, which, if you have not yet seen a video on, then you need to watch my defusing video, which may change your life, but so now that my hair is all dry, its styled. How I always wear it? This is what I would go in and do my dry cutting - and I have to do this because I do have slightly different textures, but it is a pretty consistent, curl pattern. I really just want to make sure that there's no thinner straggling ends or anything sticking out weird, so I'm going section by section I told my head, I like to see this action because it's layered, I kind of get this stacking that I love. Most importantly, I want to frame around my face around my face, especially in here I've got these looser textures, and I just want to make sure that I'm opening up all of this area - probably my number one tip I can give you guys - is not to get To scissor happy it's very easy to get lost in the dry cut and continue cutting, but take a step back, give it a day or two give it another wash, and then you can always reevaluate it. You can always cut more off after. But if you go a little too far from the start, then you're gon na have to wait that one out, so there you have it. The hedge has been trimmed. I do usually tweak this over the next couple of washes, but I am thoroughly satisfied. My end feels so much better. My legs have been retained. It jumped up a little bit more because it is super happy now, and that makes me happy and I'm definitely gon na go, take some selfies now with my fresh hair and show you guys this side by side, because wow a little bit goes a long way. A little trip is better than no trim, and haircut doesn't always have to be sacrificing your length. Okay, let's come back in a few months to see where I'm sitting then and see when my next trip will be, shall we so make sure you subscribe for more videos like this until next week, bye everybody lucky spoon feed you some food for thought now. How do I know if I cut like how do I know how this is where there's some controversy and the reason what lice got reason the reason for wetting my hair smells very fresh. It'S like yeah, I'm starving kind of soothing,
Comments
emily: you are the only stylist on youtube that understands that there are people that can't get a professional cut; whether it's because they don't have the money or have just had bad experiences with too many hairdressers. love your channel ❤
Imnotarobotiswear Ijustwannasubtopewdiepie: "Trim your hair between 6-8 weeks!" Me after 2 years of not having my hair trimmed:
N2514: Thank you Mel! I don't have curly hair but I watch your videos to help my 12 year old daughter. She started rocking her curls about 4 months ago and last week she told me : "mom I love my hair now". What she considered her weakness has now become her strength, and for me that is priceless. Thank you again Mel ♥️
Brandon Breault: @Mell, thank you so much for your videos. My wife wanted me to cut her hair and I have NEVER done anything like this. She has incredibly curly hair and I was a nervous wreck but your videos gave me the confidence to get it done and it came out great! Thank you!
ili&makeup: Thank you for this! I went for a “trim” last week and from 4 fingers off that we agreed somehow I end up with triple the length off. I HATE when stylists do that
a hooks: You’re one of the only hairstylists that cares about length! I feel like most hair dressers despise long hair lol
jsprague1992: As someone with trichotillomania, I have serious salon anxiety. I just trimmed my hair using your method, and it came out great! Thank you for this video!
incognito mojito: This video has made me re-evaluate whether I actually NEED to have my hair cut at my next colour appointment, because I automatically get it done, whether it's needed or not. My hair is healthier than it's been for a long time, is still shaped nicely, no split ends, so I'm thinking not. Thanks Mell, I always come away from your vids feeling like I've learned something.
Vanessa Medina: Love, love, love these tips! I’m trying to grow out my hair since the “big chop”. Can’t wait to use these next time I need a trim.
Sunny Peterson: Thank you so much for this video Mell! I have been dry cutting my hair for a while (and I do exactly like you were, go me!) but I'm still nervous to go in when it's wet. I might give it a try now
Lulu Breu: Hi!!! I just recently followed your tutorial and it brought my curls back thank you so much girl! most informative and clean base and to touch up when dry allowed me to start fresh!
Kelly T: Mell, would you please, please, PLEASE do a video on thin fine curly hair?? Like best hairstyles and how to style? Thanks for all the videos they help so much, love your channel
Gail Rose: Just cut my hair, watching your vid as I went. I cut about 1/2” off, dry, but otherwise followed your every move and it turned out great! I’ve had less than stellar results with hairdressers, so have always cut my own hair. Now I’m doing it better. Thank you so much
Debra Rubin-Roberts: I LOVE Textured Tuesdays! Thank you Mell for yet another great and informative video! You're the best!
Maggie G: Best haircut I've ever done on myself after following your suggestions and tips. I like to care for my own hair, as I haven't had great experiences at a salon. Thank you. Love your content; they're so helpful.
Jennifer Stevens: Thanks for the awesome tips! I cut my own hair, so this is super helpful! I love how you said not to get too sizzor happy, I've totally done that in the past, and subsequently am now growing my hair out lol. I mean, it was probably for the best because my hair is way healthier now. Love you Mel!!!
Heather Cassity: This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much! I just gave myself a trim using your video and my hair looks better than ever! And I saved the $100 I would have spent at the salon!
SEO McNeo: I cut my hair today, then styled and properly defused and my hair has never looked better. Your videos are so helpful, thank you.
Desiree Adrian: Hi Mel! Thank you again for the time and effort you put into these videos and the info you share. You mentioned something thin this video, “cutting to maintain the hair shape and the head shape.” This spoke to me because... well... I have kind of a pointy head “egg head” and this has definitely affected the end results of my hair cuts and styles. We talk mostly about face shape, but is head shape something we could consider when cutting layers in for a person’s actual head shape? I know, it sounds like a super strange question. I’m hoping you or someone can chime in on this. Best to you always Miss Mel!!
Nehal Siam: Thank you so much for this! I also like to get my hair cut wet as opposed to dry. What are your thoughts on stylists using the texturized/angled method for cutting curly hair while wet? That's the method my stylist insists on using but I feel like this causes strands to thin out towards the bottom and some strands to be stringy.
Hilditch House: Love a good self care moment! Thank you for sharing your tips ❤️
Char Rivers: I'm bored with my cut. Can you share about the kinds of cuts? Any what cut works best for textures and face shapes. Thank you!! Love all your videos!
Aileen 14: Thank You Mell! Ive been trimming my own hair since forever but this technique was by far the fastest, easiest and turned out really even:)
GG Pink: That up-close shot of your curls was Soft looking, shiny, perfect spirals, looking real good. I’m inspired...I’m going to trim my ends tonight! ✂️ ✂️ ✂️
Amber Abbott-Farr: LOVED this!! I may consider trying to trim my own next wash. Your hair is getting so long!! Gorgeous as always! Love you Mell, thank you!
Gabbie I: You are doing SUCH a great job of explaining this to us. Thank you!
Joanaly Ramirez: Love all your videos! Take care! I have learned so much from you! Thank you for helping us embrace our curls! I also purchased the verb curl collection and it is amazing!!
TheEudaimonya: Love it! My middle layer wasn't cut short enough in the back so it was kinda flat, and just kept getting flatter as my hair grew out. I dry cut that layer a tiny bit shorter, maybe an inch, and it looks like it's rounding out a little better now. Thanks for telling me to take a step back from the scissors because I was getting too into it lol. No telling what I would've done!
Sailboat R.N.: Just bought the brush you recommended (both the Denman and the wet brush for untangling) and the verb products!! Thanks for the recommendations!! Hope you are feeling better! ❤️
irie7iv: I always thought all the hair grows at the same time I never knew that different parts of the hair grew differently than other parts. I always wondered about that thank you for clearing that up
April B.: Looks beautiful! I was scheduled for a trim in a few weeks from now. Definitely went shorter last time and would like to maintain my current cut. Getting it trimmed every 8-9 weeks seems about right, right? Thanks
Lu De Marco: This came in the perfect time!! I was about to trimm my hair with the good 'ol hair tie method I screw my hair again hahaha, so I'm gonna try this! Besides, it's almost summer and my hair grows like wheat and I wear a lot of hairstyles so if something goes wrong it will be easy to deal with it Thanks for the knowledge and hapy Texture Tuesday
Shari Perlman: Mel, thank you! The 1st cut I did used your pony tail technique. Today, I purchased new scissors and couldn't wait to try using these instructions. It will be wonderful to go back and get my hair cut by my stylist, but until then my curls are poppin'! Thank you! Oh, I said that. Well I am grateful.
munchy8427: Could you explain a bit more about “stacking” and having layers with curly hair? I tried to explain to my hair stylist how I want more layers like yours and she still didn’t do it because she said my hair is long. She advice me that when styling my hair I could just crunch up my roots to give it that effect but still doesn’t look right.
Kimmy MacDonald: Thank you for this video Mel! I really appreciate all the info you Share! ❤️
Tayah Benson: Literally you just saved me from chopping all my hair off . I have been so upset with my hair. So thank you for shedding some light ❤️. You're a goddess!
karinac1999: Happy texture Tuesday! I might just give this a try this weekend. My vacation starts in just a little over a month and it would be great to start it with fresh, happy hair. I love your videos. I have never been so committed to watching anyone else's videos the way I am to yours. Thank you for being you. Always remember, you are a strong, beautiful woman. Receive all the love from all of us, your loyal followers. ❤
Radbunnie2: I cut my hair for the very first time using your tutorial. Watched it 10 times. My hair came out nice.
Kayla-Anastasia Johnson: wow this video was a lifesaver!! first time cutting my curly hair on my own and it came out great, thank you!!
Melissa Nuñez: You are my hero, sis. This video helped me out tremendously! Thank you
Rhiannon Thompson: You are the best, Mell. My haircut turned out great! Going to do this from now on!
Acacia Griess: My mom has cut my hair my whole life, but a couple weeks ago I was craving some bangs, so I cut some long side bangs and trimmed the other side of my hair to add some layers. It was actually so fun
Kimberly R: I’ve been washing my hair 5+ days a week since I started my curly hair journey 4 years ago because I always had crazy frizz after sleeping in a bun... little did I know, the main solution to my problem was $11.99 on amazon. Thank you, Mel!!!
A C: Just wow. You made that look so easy and I know it's not. Your hair looks so much healthier and bouncier now!
ZiggyKitty: Wow, I came home with the full plan to take scissors to my hair. This is amazing, thank you! I feel somehow supported by the universe!
JC7 Blessed: 2 down 2 to go. I imagine trimming hair is difficult. Trimming your own hair must be even more difficult. So trimming your own hair whilst tutoring others must be near impossible. Yet you makes it look effortless. You are truly amazing
Mmm Ghool: This is the video that got me cutting my own hair. I got lazy and forgot the details so I’m back. Thanks a lot it’s been so nice getting to cut my hair the way I want with skills I learned from you
sophia hunt: I have never found anyone that could cut my hair without ruining it.... Thank you for enabling us blessed curly haired folk with the knowledge to maintain our manes
Meow Meow: I did this haircut but I did it in much smaller sections because my hair is super super thick. It took me awhile but it looks nice :-). Oh, and mine is also a complete re-shape using this method so thank you so much! It’s now round as opposed to pyramid LOL
Kathy Sharfe: *I haven't had my hair cut/trimmed in 6 years. It's now down past my butt. I went to get a spiral perm and the 19 year old stylist fried my hair off. I had 1ft cut off after that. This is why it's been 6 years, that I haven't been back to a beauty salon.*
Jan3 N0 Sa1nt: Really perfect timing!! I have been searching for past couple days on YT for at home trim!
Mirina XO: Love your videos! ❤️ Question, do you think it’s possible to train curly hair that’s been made straight for so long when it 59 1/2 inches? Also I find it’s breaking more then usual, but after your videos I think I’m lacking protein. Can you suggest a product (not a gel) more like a Poo or leave in conditioner that has protein and no fragrance?! Any other tips would be great too! Thanks so much Hope you’re feeling well!
Jazmin Pons-rivera: I love what you’ve done. I have tight curls (my cousin Jason calls them bungee jump curls). Now I’m a hair pro in my own right from products, coloring, etc. and I only do dry trims. In the past, I literally developed anxiety going to salons! I still am uncomfortable from the years of how poorly salons in Manhattan treated me! One time a male stylist working at a salon at 81st street referred to my front curls as, “...I don’t know what that junk is...” to his fellow colleague. Nasty, rude and awful. I sat and cried silently. He’s lucky. That’s all I say. I was 11 years old. My mom says she should of sued. This is a mere synopsis of the day. In the late 1980s thru the 1990s many salons didn’t know curly hair. It’s was very disheartening. Times changed. My stylist on Canal Street is the best Gay Japanese-American Stylist who treats hair like art and we’ve sang together and he can move! The salon is dope! Nervous? Champagne! Tired? Espresso! Amen! Your video proves that horrid time is over! Thank you Darling! Much love for sharing your knowledge! I appreciate you, truly! I pledge to donate. ❤️
Sidney: Love you Mel, your channel and energy. You inspiring, genuine woman.
Jessica Renee: Your hair is amazing, thank you for all your advice and help.❤ I am one of the few that got a bit too scissor happy. I did cut all the dried and damaged ends its just SO short now But my curls have never looked better and they actually last more than one day. Its a love hate outcome
Jade Padua: I love your channel Mell. I've recently decided to give into my curls and live my best curly girl life. I'm calling to book in with you! :D
Zari Sundiata: Hi Mell! I usually wear a twist out and my stylist cuts my hair blown out. I would say I have 4a/b hair type. I used to go to a stylist for a diva cut but I found he would mainly cut it for the style and I still had split ends and knots. My current stylist says it is easier to see the split ends and knots on coily hair when it’s blown out. l don’t really have a problem with how it looks but what is your opinion on that method?
MaryStarOfTheSky: I did it yesterday, it was very helpful, I wanted exactly what you did with your sister. Thank you so much! Obviously, I don't have the technique and it took me hours to get it right, I'm happy with the outcome though I agree with you that it's always better with a professional but I really needed a trim since I started to have split ends and that's not usual on my hair. Thank you for your videos!!!
Arneth Productions: I used to see my mom trim hair like that. : ) But she never told me how to comb my hair, apparently, as I've been doing it upside down! Your hair is gorgeous!
Ambar Rosario: This video was super helpful! Love my new cut thank you!! You’re awesome
Alexandria Crause: Happy to see you cut your hair when it's wet. Been seeing a lot of curly videos saying to do it when it's dry, but that's super tough with my wavy hair!
teemo: Thank you so much. I cut my hair by myself and it looks great!
Kyla Renée: I have course, porous, 2B-2C hair (thanks to binge watching your videos I now know that) and I have used several products and techniques I’ve learned from you and my hair has changed in just 2 weeks. I don’t even recognize my hair! I can’t believe everything i thought I knew! My hair is not frizzy, it’s lifted and soft and more wavy and just the besttttt! You are saving hairs all over the world!! Thank you!!!
Karen C: Thank you!!!!! I had a horrible headache this week for 2 days. Then I realized how thick my hair had grown. I did a careful trim over a few days near the one spot the headache was and boy does my head feel better! I’m still planning on going in for a professional trim - but with no extra time this week your video was an answer to prayer! Thank You!!!
Kristin Kidd: You are the only one I trust, and I’m going to brave it because of COVID quarantines. My curls never looked so good since I found your channel! Your advice is gospel!
Kiwikick238: For the first time I went pretty short back in June I had it cut to just to my chin and it was rounded with short front bangs. Loved it up until September now it’s grown to my shoulders and my bangs are past my eyes I’m letting it grow out now but damn I never knew the struggle of that awkward in-between. Most days in throw it in a bun when I’m fed up
Serenity Sanchez: I've always been intimidated by hair extensions. You made this look really easy and way less daunting than I thought it would be. (I've wanted to try extensions, ALL my friends are OBSESSED with ZALA so i think im now sold to make an order1!)
Shyana Rodriguez: Attempting to cut my own hair after 3 years of not having it trimmed. The ends are incredibly coarse and sad looking, but nothing to do about it during the social distancing period. Wish me luck, I'll be using your technique and hopefully it will come out as nice as yours! If not, I'll be home anyway ♀️
pup lover: Gorgeous girl, great hair, clear video. Thank you!
Krystle R: So excited to use these tips! I'm dying for a trim, but I don't trust anyone with my hair anymore thank you for your channel, it's changed my hair life
Alyssa Hodges: I was LITERALLY JUST about to trim my own hair so thank you!!
Lauren Taillon: Newcomer here who binged all of your curly hair videos - you, your sister, and your videos are awesome! ❤️ I would love it if you could do a wavy hair video or one dedicated to perms!!! I just got one recently and have been really struggling with it ♀️
Mel: Great information you have a great teaching ability which is extremely helpful for beginners like myself.. My stylist framed my hair similar to your shape (not as long) :-), but I am thankful with my length just looking to maintain. Thanks again!
Laura Campbell: Your did great, I loved the end result. I get my hair trimmed every 2-3 months, but my face framing hair never looks how I want it. I may use your tips just for that area and see what I can do. Thanks for sharing.
Veronica Nevado: Thank you for this Mel, I hope you are taking good care of yourself and feel better. A lot of love from Montreal
Michelle Cano: I❤TextureTuesday! Your hair is so gorgeous, Mel! Thanks for all you do
Alma Kadri: I trimmed my hair with your tutorial and it came out great! I have a 3b curl pattern and I was able to cut off 3in with no issue and everything was even! Thanks!!
Saima Hussain: Hey! could you do a video like this only explaining how you cut/trim your seester’s hair? i love the shape and have a similar length and curl type to her. thank you! x
Bri T: I have learned sooo much from your channel. Thank you Mell!! ❤️
Keerthi Balakrishnan: 4:42 Is where she starts cutting hair. * To Self *
Marie Arnold: I stress cut my hair yesterday and tweaked it some today. I cut quite a bit out. Thankfully I didn't mess it up. It actually looks fine to me. Glad I watched this video for some tips.
Monkey: Looks amazing ♥️ I’m debating trimming my own hair
egarciamj: I'm gonna save this video for my next trim in a few months. I just went to my previous stylist last month for a trim (I last saw her in May) but she gave me the same very short cut as the first time! All the length I had grown and maintained since was gone
Veronica E. Soto: This is the video that I was needing today, good timing. Thank you so much!
Kaylee Powell: "I absolutely love Zala products! I have purchased a 5 pc clip in set from them a couple of months ago, and I was so happy with the product that I bought a thick piece clip in as well last week that is a little shorter to add volume to my hair instead of length! Not only are the products amazing, healthy human hair that are easy to care for and style, but the colour range is excellent, and the shipping time is quick! Couldn’t recommend this company more! I am so in love with it. "
Katherine Day: Brb gonna trim my hair love you, girl! Hope you’re starting to feel better!
By La: Girl I love this!!!! Very encouraging!
Rebecca Lea: I’ve had a love hate relationship with my curly hair since I was little. I’ve shaved my head multiple times and now I’m at a point where I love my curly hair and want to grow it out for good. My problem is I’m having a hard time finding someone who specializes in curly hair in my area. I’ve been avoiding a trim or cut because every time I go to get one, it looks pretty mediocre and just not satisfying. Thinking about trying it at home so I’ll be binge watching some videos for a while before I dive in. Thank you for being so informative and transparent
IAmNotNicole: I’m not gonna lie...I trim my hair on my own a lot.... recently started trying to do it to my curls to give my hair shape. I think I actually did a pretty good job. Shoot, I even trimmed off two little straggly pieces this morning. But I watched very little videos on how to do this so I wasn’t all that well informed. Just little tips here and there. But this is super helpful and AGAIN, you have uploaded RIGHT when I need it. HOW DO YOU DO THAT!? It’s like you know. Manes by Mell or Magic by Mell, I don’t even know anymore. Both?
FatPeanutsFat: This is good timing I was just thinking its time for a trim! I usually have my regular stylist do it but im butt nekkid broke so I have done it before and I can do it again. I still prefer to cut mine dry because I have soo many different curl patterns and when I trim it wet i tend to get a little wonky so I cut on and old style dry and then wash, DC and style then go back through and trim again.
Lauren Roberts: sending positive vibes your way!! you are awesome ! thanks for the content and good attitude (:
Meh: We have to trim all these negative thoughts, so we can make room for luscious new curly positivity <3 I hope you are healing well princesa <3
Zarah Bocaletti: Your new haircut looks . I Love the shape you got. Thanks for the tips you have. Love you gorgeous!
Alyssa Pollock: Love this video! I live in a place where curly specialists are hard to find. Plus, I’ve feel loyalty to my hairdresser that I’ve had for years. Can you do a series of videos on how to ask to a non-curly hair stylist for different curly things? And then demonstrate them on another person or dummy head? I was think it should be a series guide so that you can address all of the curl patterns, fine to coarse hair, low to high porosity, and specific cuts for face and head shapes. Maybe you could include how to style a curly client’s hair for their natural pattern, instead of the typical blowout, so the client can assess if they are happy with shape before they leave. Typing it out, it does seem like a lot to ask. But I was thinking this may address how you were saying you felt bad that you can’t possibly accommodate every new client request. No pressure! I love all your videos and will always watch!
CikisHelyzet: You clearly know what you are doing which I appreciate. I've been trimming my hair for a long time however I felt the cutting instruction wasn't technical enough to be sure I would be doing it correctly.
blackeneddove: Yes! I need a trim so bad. Thank you for this!
Athena Padilla: Best haircut video ever. Thank you so much. I've been dying for an actual tutorial of a great haircut. Thank you
My Family and I: I am now motivated to trim my hair, I can do this!

Rainbowin Bahrain: My hair definetly needs a trim with urgency! I just have not found the hairdresser who understands my hair. Every cut gets messy. I wish I could have an apointment with you girl, but I am gonna follow thru you advises and let you the results...
