What'S good everybody, it's your main girl mel here. If you don't know who i am i'm a hair specialist - and i am your curly hair main tour now, if you are new here to this channel, welcome and if you're new to wearing your hair, naturally wavy, curly or coily, you could very well be struggling with Frizz my worst nightmare, i mean: is this a nightmare or is this just a dream? Frizz is not a bad thing. It'S only natural, even in the healthiest of hairs, unless it's the bad frizz unhealthy frizz that is caused by damage which leads to dryness, which then causes frizz and is most likely being improperly treated yeah. Well, we don't always see my hairs like this, but now, as my hair is untreated and with no product in it, you can really see the damage, the dryness and what the lack of product can look like. Now. I have got this under control when i do my hair, because i understand where my frizz is coming from so in this video. I want to help you understand what the difference between healthy frizz and unhealthy frizz is, so you can identify the differences and therefore understand how to treat it, so you can manage it and get it all under control, and with that achieve the look that you are Striving for - and i'm really excited to share that this video is in partnership with sephora to share with you sephora's haircare finder, which is a really easy quiz on their website that helps you find the products that you need for your hair type. I myself took the quiz and stay tuned, i'm going to share with you guys which products it recommended for my hair and i'll. Let you know if it really does work, we're going to use them right now, so we're going to begin this journey to healthier more defined curls by tackling the biggest culprit. Damage hair damage is a major culprit of frizz. Now i myself have damaged hair, which causes my hair to be dry, which creates frizz. So here's what you need to know if you're not sure if your hair is dry because it's damaged or it's just dry or you know how to diagnose your hair. First, let's talk about how it looks, frizzy damaged, hair will have undefined curl patterns, as in it makes it hard to figure out what the curl pattern is, for example, this curl this little hair right here these pieces are never my friend the hairs around her face Tend to be a finer texture, which means they're, more fragile and already more prone to damage and breakage. Now the reason my hair is damaged is because i mean i guess, the cat's out of the bag, i'm not a natural blonde. Oh my god. I know i'm just a fraud and this bleaching that i do to get my hair. This color affects my curl pattern, so this unhealthy frizz that i'm looking at the undefined waves and curls limp hair that just doesn't it doesn't really bounce back hollow thinning ends that are breaking off and overall dull. Looking hair is all very good signs that my hair is damaged. Now i mentioned that i do bleach my hair, but that's not the only cause for hair damage. You can bet that your hair is damaged to some degree. If you color treat your hair again bleach. Your hair, if you have hard water, if you are a swimmer and you wet your hair or if you wash your hair every day, even if you leave your hair unprotected in the sun or you apply heat to style, of course, heat damage, you name it. If you do any of these things, you can bet that there is some form of damage to your hair. Now did you get all that? I do have a few more tell all signs for you. If your hair is a very high porosity, having a high porosity can be natural to your hair, your hair can grow out of your scalp high porosity, especially if you have curly hair it just is the way that it is, but this means that your hair is More prone to structural damage and a flailing cuticle that is just breaking off and becoming weaker and weaker the more we live with our hair so having high porosity hair. Even if you don't intentionally do anything that's causing damage, there is still damage being done, even just by the environmental factors of being out in the wild. How do we actually repair damage? Is it possible? I have good news. Yes, there are two ways that you can actually repair damage that has been done to the hair. Now the first one would be a stainless steel treatment. Yes, the only way to truly fix these splitting ends is to cut them off. Now i personally trim my ends. Every three months, or so on average, it really depends the more i color, my hair, the more i cut it, but as i am not coloring it, as often as we can tell, i don't have to cut my hair as often which is a plus right, but In between my color sessions and my haircuts, i do use treatments now. This is option. Number two number two option. Number two doesn't involve a haircut okay, let's relax. Now there are many products out there that work to mask the damage that has already been done. It works to protect the hair strand from further damage, but one of the only products to actually repair structural damage that has been done to your hair is the one. The only bond the builder olaplex this right here. I'Ve been using overplex forever and sure enough. When i went on sephora.com and i went to sephora's hair care finder, i took their little quiz. I selected that damage was my hair's concern. This was the suggested solution for me now olaplex is the best of the best. I have been using it on myself. For years, i have used it in salon on clients through color treatments at home, in between treatments. I cannot recommend it enough, especially for severely damaged, hair and color treated hair, and i am very familiar with the og number three now. This is a little mini. It'S cute, i'm gon na take this when i travel, but not without its new best friend olaplex number zero whoa. Now the oloplex number zero works in tangent with the number three they are a pair now together, they have been proven to reduce breakage by up to 68 percent. Now, that's a good, that's a good amount for me and i want you to take one last good. Look at my hair before i apply this because from here on out we're repairing this hair and solving this frizzy situation and unfortunately, damage is not just my problem. So we're also going to be talking about dryness and a solution for dryness and then our typical frizz that really just comes from improper product usage. So we're going to get to all that in a moment make sure you stay tuned. But i want to show you how to properly use these olaplex products. So if you are looking to repair any damaged hair that you have, you make sure that you are doing it properly to get the most effectiveness out of these. So when you are using this product, you want to go on somewhat clean hair. You don't want your hair to have a lot of build up again. This is my naked hair right now i am going to section it. So i have control, and so i can thoroughly saturate the hair, because that's what you're gon na do you're, not soaking the hair in the number zero, but you do wan na make sure that it is nice and damp when you are applying this to your hair. You wan na apply from root to tip, especially focusing on your most damaged areas, i'm mostly starting where my hair is blonde and because this is so liquidy. I am making sure that i cut my hand behind each section to make sure that i'm catching anything. And it's not going all over the place, but i actually find that it's not as messy as it may look see. Just like this, it's saturated not soaking but saturated. I really make sure that i do kind of massage it through my hair, almost starting to detangle. My hair a little bit as well with it just making sure that it gets into every nook and curly. Now, for my hair, i get about four treatments out of the number zero bottle and i use it as often as needed, and that's what i recommend you do. This is a treatment, so it's going to take some time after i've applied this to my hair. I'M gon na let this sit on for 10 minutes and then i will be applying number three. Now you might be asking. Why do you also need number three number. Zero is helping to prepare your strands for deeper penetration of the number three, it's so you're. Getting the most out of your number three treatment that we all know and love: it's been around forever: it's the go-to, it's the og! Now, if you don't have a number three already at home, i do like that. This little kit from sephora does come with a little sample version of the number three. I, of course, have my number three with me at all times. Also, i do find that with using the number zero, i don't have to use as much of the number three, because my hair is already saturated. It'S not so dry. It doesn't just suck up the number three it's much easier to disperse in my hair and now that both products are in i'm going to let this sit on for another 10 minutes overall, at least, if you want to leave it in a little longer this stuff. Actually doesn't hurt to leave in your hair a little bit longer. You don't have to worry about protein overload. So whenever you're ready, you want to shampoo as usual and condition your hair, because do not mistaken these. For a conditioner they're not going to hydrate the hair, they are strengthening the hair they're, a pre shampoo treatment, so i'm gon na go ahead and wash them out and then we're gon na focus on the dryness. The dryness that causes the bad frizz, the unhealthy frizz. The frizz that just won't fuzz off yes, i know we're going to talk about dryness, as my hair is very wet. But if we analyze how my hair looked before, i washed it, my hair wasn't just frizzy and dull looking, but when you felt my hair it was, i would almost compare it a little bit to um a brillo pad and that's the thing. Dryness is often a feeling. It'S almost like you know. When your face is dry, it feels really tight. It can be very irritated, but from the looks of it it looks dull same thing with your hair, from the looks of it it looks dull, you're gon na be lacking definition. Your curl pattern is going to look fuzz as opposed to you know when the hair, especially waves, curls and coils, when they are hydrated, they tend to clump together in their little curl families. This doesn't really happen if the hair is really dry now. Additionally, to that really rough feeling, the hair may even feel crispy and if you were to pull on it and play with it and manipulate it in any way, while it is dry, this can lead to breakage as well. You see, hair doesn't only break if it is damaged, it can also break if it is dry now it can be dry and damaged, or it can just be extremely dehydrated, and it's really important to make sure that we are conditioning our hair. A leave-in conditioner is a step that a lot of people skip out on, but it really holds so much importance in the health of our hair and maintaining the hair's hydration. I mean look at me right now. Right, my hair is freshly washed. I conditioned it. It looks really nice and supple and hydrated, but going back to my history and what my hair has been through, because it's damaged from color because it is high porosity. The moisture that's in my hair now will evaporate. If i don't do anything to keep it in. So i want to fortify that moisture. I want to make sure that i am layering moisture over top of my hair, which is exactly what a leave-in conditioner will do now, if you don't believe me, you can go ahead on sephora.com if you were to take the quiz sephora's haircare finder, like dryness, as Your concern, as i did you may be suggested - to use this leave-in conditioner from moroccan oil. This is the all-in-one leave-in conditioner from rock and oil. I do really like this leave-in conditioner, because it's not just for curly hair any hairs. I can use it even very fine hair, because if you look at the texture, it is a very light milky, texture and okay, i'm not just going to waste that so we'll just apply that to my hair anytime you're using a leave-in conditioner conditioner in general. You want to be focusing on the ends now this product does say hydration on the front of the bottle, but it is fortifying as well. It does have some proteins in it, so on top of the hydration and softness it adds to the hair, and it really does keep the hair hydrated, like it says, 72 hours and my hair stays soft for days when i use this, but it's also offering protection From further damage, because of those protein ingredients which will help to prevent against any more damage, any split ends plus it helps to reduce static, and it is thermal protection as well. So, if you like to heat style as i do, i like to diffuse my hair. I don't have to worry when i prep my hair start my styling process with a leave-in conditioner like this one. So i make sure i give myself a couple sprays on each side. My hair is still nice and wet. If i bring it out, it is dripping and now that i've applied a couple sprays of this, my hair already feels softer it's much easier to work through call me crazy, but i feel like it looks, really shiny and if i take a brush to my hair, See this section now see how the curls are coming together. This is like one big happy family. This happens when the hair is conditioned and hydrated and the next step the last step we're going to get to is arguably the most important they're all so important. I'M just going to go ahead and apply some styling products in my hair, define my curls and i'll be right back now. This last section we're about to tackle, is arguably the most important because nearly anyone with textured hair deals with this type of frizz, and this isn't necessarily bad frizz, but it is frizz that can be avoided and it is often caused by improper product usage. So, for example, frizz from improper product usage can look like this little section right here, you can see from the root to the tip is a very stringy, scattered type of curl. This is what i would consider wet frizz, because it's already frizzy, while it's wet. So if i were to leave this, it's going to be frizzy when it dries. This is why it's really important to be very thorough in the styling process. When you see sections of hair like this, it's usually just a sign that the hair needs more water. So i'll show you i just wet my hand and i'm going to simply smooth some water over this section and you can already see it starting to clump and form together better, but it's still not perfect. If you take a look at my root section, this will dry pretty fluffy as well, and i know a lot of people out there struggle with fluffy roots and frizzy roots and all around my head. I don't really worry about it because it gives volume at the roots, but especially around my hairline and around my parting ways that i like to define this so that it dries nicely, and i don't have as much frizz - is either by finger coiling. It so watch. If i pull this section and then retract it, you can see the root of each family of curls. I see three curls in this one section. I don't know about you, but i'm definitely going to split this in three and i'm going to take this mini section right from the root and twirl it around my finger. Now i've got that perfect little curl and a much more defined root area partially because it's not one huge section. Now. It'S important to note that the size of your curl pattern will affect the size of section. You take the tighter curls. You have the smaller of a section you want to take for a more defined curl. If you do have bigger waves, you want to take big sections to create those big clumps and water is absolutely key. That'S definitely one of my best tips. That'S what i like to do when i notice there is frizz, i of course, as i always share on this channel, i like to style with a brush as well. That'S how i define everything else now. This is a styling brush, but even with a detangling brush, my curls were forming together after i brushed because they were smooth together and keep in mind. This is all to be focused on when the hair is wet and, while we're here before i dry my hair and finish it, the finishing finishing, is so important we're going to get to that. But i do want to give you a really up-close view of my hair. That way, you can see what wet frizz is normal, because i think you might be too hard on yourself when it comes to your wet frizz. You know this may not be something you want to see in straight styled hair, but in waves, curls and coils, just natural texture having some of those loose strands and that fuzz adds to that natural beauty. So stop looking right up here and over analyzing and criticizing your wet frizz, let's take a step back dry, the hair and finish it to prevent more frizz from happening. I will be right back all right, i'm back and i'm ready to finish. This look finish any frizz before it starts to fuzz and oh my almost finished this video we are near the end. This is a really really important step. This is where we finish the style. It'S where you add the finishing touches, and this is where you prevent frizz from happening and lock any frizz that may be in its place. Now. If we don't do this and, for example, we step out into humidity our hair may go crazy or on the other hand, your hair may be really nice and hydrated now. But if you step out into a very dry climate - and you have, for example, a high porosity hair like me or hair, that is prone to dryness. All of that moisture that you have in your hair. Look look how supple these curls are. This moisture can evaporate out of the hair if we do not finish it and seal it in those fuzzed out ends that can all be avoided and reduced. With this final step, the quiz recommended that i use this oil from caristas, i'm trying to sound french there's. No accent this stuff. This look at this gold bottle. I feel like it's super fancy, and it definitely is. This is a luxury oil. I actually use it on special occasions when i am going out, it's not an overpowering fragrance at all. It'S very luxurious. I don't know how else to describe it, but i just i feel fancy when i use this. You can see it is a nice thick serum and i typically won't use more than two pumps, because i find it is very rich and notice. I am applying it to my mids and ends where my hair is blondest, where it is the most damaged where it is the most dry to seal in all of that moisture. But it also helps to lubricate and protect your strands to prevent breakage, as well as adding shine and, of course not to mention it does help to smooth frizz. The serum acts almost almost like a glue to just seal everything together. If there is anything that you should take from this video, there were a lot of tips in this video, but if there's anything you should take in this video, it is to step back, do not be so hard on yourself for the little things that no one Really sees, but you, but all in all in terms of the bigger issues like damage dryness, and you know that improper product usage, the lack of not finishing your hair, all those tips i do want to i just hold on. Let me fluff before before. I continue much better, so i hope this video helped you identify your frizz understand why it is the way that it is and gave you some tips on how to solve it. I definitely encourage that you do check out the hair quiz on sephora. It'S really so easy, it takes 30 seconds and it really helps you narrow down what product you should be using for your hair. I myself am very happy with the products that the quiz recommended that i try. Also, if you head to the description box, you will see links to the products i have been using i'll, provide the link for the hair quiz, so you can check it out right through there and i'd love to know what the quiz recommends for you.

Comments
Poeticdyme: Frizz doesn't look that bad on type 3 or type 4 curls. It looks the worst when you have wavy or a mix of wavy and curly.
Gena Marie: Love all these tips! If there’s one thing all curls have in common it’s FRIZZ. I love how you touched on how it’s normal
Rosalind Herrera: I’ve been so hard on myself about the wet frizz I usually get when styling , it wasn’t a lot but I thought I was doing something wrong every time , so hearing that it’s normal and to embrace them instead means a lot coming from you❤️ Happy texture Tuesday ! So happy y’all convinced me to start my journey❤️
Amanda Guido: Happy #texturetuesday everyone! I love this video because not only is my seester teaching us all how to understand the root cause of our “unhealthy” frizz + how to treat it, but she also teaches us to embrace our natural frizz because well.... IT IS ONLY NATURAL!!! ❤️
hadar friedman: Thanks Mell! I just had this conversation with my hair stylist a few weeks ago. I told her how I loved her hair and how tamed her frizz was compared to mine, and she told me that she was JUST complaining about her own frizz to her co-worker. We are our own harshest critics for sure
Tash Ashok: I'm about 4 months into transitioning my hair. Even though it's not looking it best right now, it already looks so much healthier. I know it's been a great choice Your videos have been so helpful!
Mandi Wolfe: Adding Olaplex to my next sephora order! Thank you for all of your time and effort you put into teaching us how to care for our curls. Since I've adapted my haircare routine to specifically high porosity needs, it has really taken on such a life of it's own and I absolutely LOVE it now. I spent decades not knowing why things I was trying weren't working for me like they were for other people. Turns out, I was mostly using products best suited for low porosity instead and every thing I gained from one would basically just cancel out another. Now that you've educated "why" to use "what" and "when", it's been a total game changer!
karinac1999: Perfect timing as always. My hair has gotten frizzy on day 2 of these last 2 wash days. It looks good after I diffuse. In the morning I steam, but the curls start to pull apart and frizz out. Thank you ladies for reminding us that no matter what, our hairs are beautiful. ❤
LilDiddy 6110: I’ve always struggled and had insecurities with my hair since I was a little kid. I was so amazed and envious by how beautiful everyone’s hair look like as well as how healthy they looked. I’ve wanted to become a hair stylist for years but I always felt so insecure and discouraged by how my hair isn’t healthy nor I did not even know where or how to start. Ever since I found your YouTube channel I became obsessed and changed my hair 180° by watching almost every video you posted! I have improved my hair so much and thanks to you and your seester Amanda you guys gave me the confidence and the courage to decide on going to a hair school next year. This may not be a big deal but honestly I wouldn’t have been so confident and feel so amazing if it weren’t for you two. I learned so much about my hair and learning more day by day makes me just fall in love with hair even more knowing that my curls can turn out to be healthy like yours and I truly appreciate it for all the videos and the effort you put in these videos! You’re my hero and forever will love your videos❤️ I hope that soon one day when I do peoples hairs and give them tips on how to help out their hair that they see results and learn more about their own individual hair just like the amazing Mel!!! Thanks again and I wish you and your sister gains more subscribers because you are honestly so underrated you deserve the best and more ❤️
Brandon Roberts: I’m super hard on myself on my frizz. I get tons of compliments all the time and I say to myself “please don’t look at this one section” not realizing that they can’t even notice that one section. Thanks for the self-esteem boost!
Christi Farris: And you delivered yet again! Everyone deals with frizz at some point, so thanks for referring to it as normal! You have taught me so much thru your videos. I went camping this weekend, and I had great hair EVERY day. I refreshed every morning, and got complimented on my curls each day. Also thanks to the video that you and Amanda did on summer hairstyles. You are awesome! Your hair looked great in this video. Btw, my curls are starting to coil all the way up to my roots...the better I get with my Denman brush. All thanks to you... Thanks for all you do for all of us. As usual, much love!
Martine Knight: Honestly, this video was SO helpful. I stress over the wet frizz and try to correct and it just ends up looking horrible or overworked when dry. AND now I know what to look for and prevent properly - THANK YOU
Nunu1293: Hi Mel!! I binge watched your videos and realized I had curly hair. I had the big chop today and have the cutest curly bob and feel soooo happy about my appearance for the first time in forever. Thank you so much for these videos!!! And I was just struggling with finding a solution to the frizz. ❤️❤️❤️ you are amazing! Btw in case you see this, would you shampoo before AND after applying the olaplex? Or just before? Or just after? Haha.
Lynda Wheat: I’ve been going natural for about 9months now - and the bit about taking a step back and looking at the whole really helped me out after a few bad wash days. Thank you <3
Lisa Duke: Another great video with very helpful information! I think all of us with curly hair can appreciate the reminder to not be so hard on ourselves about frizz. Thanks for spreading the love!
Jessica Rivera: Started focusing more on my curly hair journey about 2 months ago! Your videos are such a great help! ❤
Jessica Bagneris: I needed this so much Mell! Next wash day I’m going to look at my hair product free so I can diagnose the problem. I already know the top is the bad frizz and probably needs strengthening treatments.
Choose Different TV: LOVING Mel & her channel! My Curl-World is REVIVED! Telling every curly headed chic I see about this channel. Thank you Mel for sharing your wisdom, silliness & CURL TipZ!
M C: Video idea: choose a struggling subscriber/follower and give them a curly hair care routine /advice ! Or reacting to curly hair routines !
simplyjess: Your videos have really inspired me to start my curly hair journey. It’s only been about a month or two & my curls look so much happier now ((still a long way to go tho but I’m happy))
Aglover90: Yes!! I need to learn to embrace my frizz. I'm always fighting with my hair cuz of frizz, but it's natural. I love this video. Thanks Mell!!
Monica Green: I just found your channel and I am obsessed with you! You are hilarious, helpful, and ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I’ve been on my curly hair journey for 5 years now, and I have fine 3b/3c curls and am now realizing all the mistakes I made by weighing down my hair with so much product! I always hated how I couldn’t get the volume I want. I’ve learned so much from watching a couple of your videos so I want to thank you and wish you lots of health and happiness ☺️ Also your Valentine’s Day hairstyles video is my favorite and I am so glad I found it because I had no idea how to make buns and ponytails work for me. Keep on doing God’s work baybayyy.
Fiona Ellice: I get so frustrated with my frizz but I'm trying to not be so hard on myself. I tried to take the quiz but it just kept coming up with error messages so that was disappointing. Mell you have made such a big difference to mine and my twin seesters curly hair! You have helped us repair so much damage and get back to our healthy hair! Thank you!
Jennifer Price: Thank you for this video. I’ve been struggling with frizz recently and wondering about how to fix it because I have watched a ton of videos that mention frizz in the past year. So this was perfect timing for this video. I also appreciate seeing your hair product free as it helped clarify frizz. I get some ideas of people telling but I understand better with examples so thank you.
Daniela Alejandra Chamorro Handal: You're such a genuine girl with such a bubbly personality that I guarantee that I could be cured of my depression just by living with you a whole week. Thank you for making me smile today, I needed it so much.
Ny-Jianah Zeigler: Helped me solve my hairs frizz problem Thank you Mel!! always so informative
Brittany Lugiano: Love the moment where I’m like wow her hair looks amazing and then she mentions it’s 2:07am... the best hair days are the ones where no one sees you in person and then you go to sleep. Who can relate?
Tryshea: I'm latina and black. My hair texture is fine(very similar to yours), but the curl pattern is a little tighter. I got very useful tips from this video. As a matter of fact this gave me a little motivation to get back to my hair. I've been washing/detangling and throwing it in a bun for months now. Thanks!
Audrey Oliphant: Thank you both for great content and tips. I have followed all your tips for my high Porosity hair; bonnet, satin pillow, leave in conditioner etc and now Olaplex! The results are fantastic..,thank you both ❤️
Lisa Townsend: Mell, you always know what we need. I am so hard on myself. I have watched all your videos (yes all of them) and the other day my hubby and I had date night. I wore my hair down, (something I rarely do). I was unimpressed by it that day. When it looks like yours or Amanda's, then I will be impressed. OMG Mell, I got so many compliments. It was sort of awkward. Thanks Mell and Amanda for helping those of us who need to embrace our curls. XOXOXO
daftoptimist: Hey Mell! I’ve never used an oil or serum because I thought it wouldn’t work on a looser curl pattern (2C) and that it would weigh my hair down. But I decided to give it a shot. Went to get the Aussie oil I’ve heard good things about, but they were out of stock at the store so I got a Maui Moisture one instead, tried it out. That was yesterday. I can’t believe how shiny it got my waves, and today on Day 2, they still look shiny, smooth, and so much less tangly than usual. Thank you for the tip!!
Ashley Livolsi: I really appreciate this video! I’ve been concerned that I’ve had some frizz even fresh out of the shower so it’s nice to know that some wet frizz is normal☺️
J. Bassler: Great tips! I like how you show how to apply. Frizz is so frustrating! Thanks for reminding us curlies to not be so critical of ourselves
Lorraine Taylor: My shero!!! Finally, really useful tips and encouragement for my high porosity 3C hair. Mell is marvelous, keep these videos coming!
Lisset Sanchez: New Sub here! I have decided to embrace my natural curly hair. Watching your videos has given me the "push" and "knowledge" to give it a go! Thank you Mell. You are amazing. ✂️➿☺️
Bob Howard: I'm so glad I found your videos! I grew my hair out this year, but I was clueless as to managing my new-to-me naturally curly long hair. Your detailed explanations are very helpful. Thank you so much!
Brande Shandrick: I recently started embracing my curls and Mel you have helped me a lot! Thank you!
Shari Perlman: Hair quizzes are so much fun to take. Thanks for your techinques to manage wet hair frizz. It's wash day! Sephora suggested that I use Moroccanoil Curl Cream for more volume. Love the video. Your makeup and curls are rockin' in this video (they always are, xoxoxo).
NativeNYerChicHK: Because of you I’m coming around to appreciating my root frizz, because girl I have VOLUME I honestly never looked at it like a benefit, it’s been something I’ve been trying to fight forever, and by fight I mean straightening my hair in order not to deal with any of my frizz Trying to love my natural hair back to life now. Which is how I found your channel. Olaplex is a godsend, really. I’ve been using it for years now because of the ridiculously good reparative results. I just kept undoing it with the harsh heat styling I’ve been doing for 30+ years But as of today I haven’t blow dried or put a straightener on my hair in a week and a half - that’s the longest I’ve gone on 30+ years. Not even exaggerating... But today my hair feels so light and fluffy and bouncy and I realize now that I really missed this feeling. My hair is like your friend @thatgirlnamedtiff and I’m still learning what products work for me to get my hair from a lions mane of frizz to a few light curls but mostly voluminous defined waves. I don’t know where you’re located but I would love to have you assess my hairs needs and give me a good cut. A girl can dream... ❤️
Sasha Stone: You are hilarious and gorgeous. Thank you for your detailed guidance. After highlighting my hair, the highlighted portions barely even look wavy anymore, whereas the regrowth underneath looks luscious and curly. I was going to give up on highlights, but now I have hope. Thank you!
Frida Becerril: THANK YOU MELL FOR THIS WEEKS VIDEO! I needed to fix my HAGRID situation...I was literally about to go to the salon to chop my blonde off
Sona: Really love your videos! I learned so much about my hair and got my curls more under control! Thanks sooo much!
Ashley Meyer: Loving this video so much! It has made me realize I definitely need a hair cut, but I love my long hair. My hair is very fine and I get fairy knots very easily after day one. Any suggestions to help with those? Also, I love working out, but I do get sweaty and this impacts my frizz levels. Any suggestions to help with that would be great! Thanks so much!
Rosanna O'Farrell: I love your videos and learning so much about what my hair needs! I'm early into my wavy/curly hair journey and finally seeing positive results. I look forward to Tues! I wondered if you could provide more information regarding products containing glycerin? I watched your video on this already but wondering if too much glycerin will make hair look oily/greasy? I can't find info on this and still dialing in the products I'm using. Thanks so much!
Soft Rain: Hi Mell I would love to see How to grow out healthy hair after a big chop!! Many people ignore their hair once they do the big chop cause they think “it’s healthy” so maintenance is not necessary. My hair doesnt have a curl pattern yet cause its so short. I would love tips on how to manage and style. My hair is about 3 inches now
Rxzxxn: Loving these tips and can’t wait to try and tame my frizz Also, Mell that lipstick shade looks magical, please share what you used if you see this
Karissa Thiele: can you do an updated winter/fall routine with your fav product recommendations? Love you Mell♥️♥️♥️
Creatiff Curls: Frizz is life!!! We gotta embrace it. Yay for this video! I agree so much on olaplex. I tried no. 3 and followed your routine. Sooo good!
Bonnie Emile: My favorite hair speciaIist! I watched the video twice. Always so entertaining, full of excellent content and very well made. We love you, Mell and Amanda. ✌
Elise Jorgensen: Yay! I struggle so much with frizz especially after wash day. I feel like I do every right but it gets frizzy anyways. My biggest issue is the hairs on the bottom, are like a bird’s next. Shorter, more shrinkage, and just all over the place. I have hairs above them that are longer and it drives me crazy.
Jessica John Joseph: Loved this video! The kind of wet frizz I face is, I have well defined clumps but single strands of hair pops out from them. On diffusing, these become more frizzy. I style in dripping wet hair. Any tips? Also if your hair was dry (like beginning of video), how would you refresh your hair to get back defined shiny hair? Like no time to wash that day. Thank you for all amazing videos. ❤️
Katy Canino: Girl, I've been watching your videos for the first time today, and back to back. You're very knowledgeable and comical. I'm learning a lot from you.
Crowned Lily: Love how informative your vedios are! I'm currently going through telogen effluvium. I'm having a very hard time with my hair being so much thinner now. (I had pretty thick hair before this) do you have any tips for anyone dealing with this? I'm sick of crying over my hair.
soul three: Hey Mel thanks so much for this I just went curly about two weeks ago and am really struggling to get my hair it's between 2c and 3a and I've got some products but I still get some frizzy but it's so flat and straight at some parts and some curls are 3b underneath and then some are 2c it's so odd you are providing me with hope just subbed today thanks for being awesome
Shakila Yousif: Honestly seriously Mel you have helped me so much. Your videos are really helpful girl. Thank you very much. P.s. someone who is just starting on the curly girl journey...
BeautyXFitness: These tips were very helpful like always!! Ughh bleached/damaged and frizzy hair is a nightmare, but it can be fixed. I love Olaplex so much and have used No3, since July and the No0 since it came out! I got the gift deal on Sephora and I love the Bond Smoother. I think Olaplex works wonderfully, I’m loving my results❤️❤️
d.a.: You are my hair savior! Thank you for all your advice and being here for us curly girls♥️
Hay Jay: This is one of the most informed videos I’ve seen in how to treat my hair x thank you so much x
Bianca Robles: I've been so hard on myself for frizz but I'm so glad you gave tips on helping with it. This was so helpful! Thank you! ❤️Also, your hair still looks amazing with frizz! Totally going off topic here, but your nails look so long and strong! What's your secret???
AC Ortiz: Thank you for helping me understand my curly hair. I found your channel in the summer and I watched every single video you've made. These videos have helped me A LOT in understanding my curls, learn how to style them, etc... I started fully caring for my curls in August and I am surprised of how my hair improved in only 2 months. Thank you for clarifying our doubts about frizz and damage. Happy Texture Tuesday! Video Suggestion: A recap o HEOO and your favorite products like shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, styling products, gels and serums.
Kendal Kauffman: loved this! i feel like i struggle with a lot of frizz for my 2nd and 3rd day curls, any recommendations on how to help prevent that?
Jamie Lynn: Girl, you are insanely smart! This video will literally become my daily reminder on how to do my hair! Wow love your channel so much!!!!
Bonnie Emile: Thank you for this! I struggle with frizz in the back of the head a lot. Can you also do a video on gels? Which gel with hard hold is good for fine hair, etc. You ladies rock!!!! ✌
Tan C: OMG!! I was so discouraged after my wash this weekend. Wet frizz and frizz in general is my struggle. This video could not have come to me at a better time. I love all your insight! Thank you Mel!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It's a very frustrating thing at times, having curly hair. Thank you so much!!
Halina Panariello: Love your videos! I'm definitely going to try those products! Sounds strange, but it's nice to know there are other girls out there finger coiling for 45 minutes after a shower- haha. My whole family has straight hair (even my twin) so I spent most of my life styling my hair so incorrectly. Curly hair is truly a lifestyle that I had to learn! Thanks for everything Mel
blaziken 1213: I have been trying for years to combate my unruly, frizzy, curly hair and I'm so happy to have found your video. I'm still in the beginning of my curly hair journey and I hope to finally make more headway to my hair goals. Thank you for the tips!
Jessica Gilfillan: Also, I would like to see a video on acceptable protective styles for the work place. Winter is coming and I want to keep my hair tucked away and need ideas besides the typical braid and bun.
Maria: Thank you so much for this. The timing is perfect, it's been rainy and humid here on Long Island NY. I took the quiz and it told me to try the oleplex no 0. So I got it and the no 3 like you suggested. I can't wait to get them! I'm so excited! I battle frizz a lot. Thank you soooooooo much again for the video!
jennifer Henriquez: I love watching your channel. I’ve learned so much and have loved to love and embrace my curls. Thank you so much
Kristine Casimir: Omg! I totally love you! I feel like you are like my "curl mom". I needed this video and didn't even know it. I've always loved my curls, but taking care of them for real for real is not something I ever truly understood. I'm one of those that would be hard on myself. You educating us and showing us that "its all good" litterally had me tearing. This was like a virtual hug that its okay to "love it all... keep taking care of it and it will be alright." I appreciate you and what you bring to this social media table. Your bloopers having me dying and another reason why I watch bc you aren't afraid of showing the "sillyness" that happens behind the scenes. Its like the only reason why I like your blog or others because you its super relatable. Keep it up girl! You rock!
Tanairi Mastarreno: Thank you so much for this video, and thank you for making me realize that frizz is normal! ❤❤❤
Roya J: Hey Mel! I need some help with understanding when to use and not use glycerin. I live in Los Angeles, ca and haven't used glycerin this summer with great success, but want to know about fall/ winter. How do I know if glycerin will react negatively during this time? Is there a way for me to use my products w/ glycerin and still get good results? Thanks, Roya
The Curl Story: Thanks so much Mell!! Always trying to keep the frizz down in my hot dry climate + hard water...yep.
Cynthia Gauthier-Houle: I love the Kerastase elixir! It smells so great. I've always struggled with leave-in conditioners because they always felt too heavy for my waves. I've tried reducing the quantity, but it's as if it overloads my hair (especially if I apply curl cream and gel) Any tips? Or any brand that is light?
irish0105: so much good info, I have battled my hair for 50 years, so I am thankful I found your channel. Frizz, dryness and damage have always been an issue for me, but now I find my hair is falling out in clumps, it used to be so thick that I could barely get a hair tie around it, now it is so thin, I am losing more than the normal 100 strands a day, can you offer any advice or do you already have a video with suggestions? I am working on going back through your videos to see if you have covered this issue. If you haven't yet, could you do a video on this?
Afaq Mansour: You are Amazing Mell ♥️ Love your videos, your tips, your beauty and you!
Collymotion: Right on time, I was just struggling with this exact issue. I don't do the things on the list but still have the signs of damage, so I'm excited to try this!
Krystal Roney: My hair is totally a different texture than yours, but your videos are so thorough that it feels like your tips will help me too. I recently big chopped and some of my curls are clumped together and defined, but most of my hair is super frizzy. I wasn't sure if I needed a protein treatment or my hair is just dehydrated. I'm going to try these tips and hopefully I can figure out my hair better lol. Thank you Mel!
Natalia Arenas: Love this video!! SO helpful. I can’t wait to take the quiz. How often do you use the olaplex treatment? I feel like it’s so tempting to do it after every wash day to try and get results faster
Miracle: So excited to learn more about frizz ! Thankyou for this content Mell
Imane M.: Hey Mell, my hair is seriously so dry and I don't understand why. I deep conditioning every week. Currently using the novel deep hair mask I really love it and follow up with a protein leave in and auntie Jackie's custard for babies. I diffuse for like 30 min and often my hair looks really good and moisturised. But at the end of the day my hair becomes soo dry, when I seal with oil it becomes to oily so skipping that for now. I have dyed my hair six months ago but this dryness is quite recent. Could u help me
Jennifer Berrios: So many videos out there for curly hair, your videos are my favorite. Not only have I learned to love and bring out out my curls (which I relaxed for years) but I love the personality. So sweet and funny. Keep up the videos. ❤️
Yaheiry Galan: I just found your channel and I LOVE it! I enjoy your personality, presentation style and the Angle of your videos. Your videos are offer REAL useful practical tips. I have learned so much. Keep it up!
Stephanie DeJesus: VIDEO IDEA: I would love to see you do a comparison on purple vs. blue shampoos (half and half, to see what the difference would be side by side). I don't think I found a video like this on your channel (if you have one, sorry!). I love your videos and the energy you bring to them. Thank you!
Marissa Rodriguez: I usually condition/detangle my hair really good in the shower and I would completely AVOID touching it until it was fully air dried or defused, then I put my product in. I thought this was the only technique that wouldn’t manipulate my natural curl pattern. Doing this still results in some frizz though. Its took me until now to realize the manipulation and frizz I got from originally applying my product to damp hair was a result of improper application and letting it slowly dry at the same time, was what I was doing wrong. When I let my hair fully dry before touching it, I get the curls that I want BUT still notice some frizz obviously bc the product doesn’t fully get to absorb. I didn’t think it would ever be a win win situation, and just trickled it down to “damage”. Now I know, I can and SHOULD apply product to very wet hair! I’m gonna try your techniques. So happy I came across your channel
Wanderfound Us: This was a perfect video!! Love all of the videos you put out. So knowledgeable and fun to watch!
Shallie Dragon: My hair tends to get very dry as the day progresses. I think I'm going to try a leave-in conditioner to get me started. Still working my way through your videos, to learn more about hair care.
Stephanie Andrews: Thanks so much for this video! I have 2a-2b chest-length hair and I really struggle with frizz at my crown - which I now think is possibly baby hairs that are just curlier than the rest of my hair! Excited to give some of these tips a try and see if they help my frizz.
Gabi.: omg it's almost as if you sensed my troubles. I've been going through a lot of stuff about frizz and now you post this. Thank you!
Cassandra Fischer: Yay Texture Tuesday! Any tips on styling a cowlick on the hairline? It does tend to part with the rest of my bangs, but it has a tendency to drift away and chill in the center of my forehead like a unicorn
Fleur Donders: i've been trying to figure this stuff out ever since i started the curly girl method and i still can't seem to find out whether my hair is ACTUALLY damaged or not. I have never dyed it or bleached, i have used excessive heat on my hair maybe 6 times tops in my entire life, but it still kinda seems damaged somehow and therefore almost always frizzy. This also makes it harder to determine what porosity my hair is... do you have any sort of advice or tipes :)
Kim White: Mel you make finger coiling look so easy!! I’ve followed your tips and tricks from videos, and my hair just doesn’t respond like that. It doesn’t bounce or spring back up when I’ve finger coiled it, it stays long, drawn out and twisted. Help please.
Tamskiiiify: I love seeing your videos!! It's entertaining and informative. Best combo!!! ❤️
ASMR Gorda: Mel I love you!! You’re the reason I got the scalp massager and switched my hair products ♥️♥️
Jennifer Dawson: I have to say I found your channel a couple weeks ago and have been binge watching episodes ever since! Love your personality and content! It’s awesome that you are a fellow Canadian so I know that I can actually find products you recommend
lady2014: You have no idea how obsessed I am with your videos. I just had a bayalage and the girl messed up my curls it is so damaged now that I didn't know what to do but watching your videos is giving me hope. Thanks!! ❤
Tisha P. Moon: Thanks so much Mel! One question though. You said the Kerastese Oil wasn’t your everyday one. So what is your everyday oil? Which ones do you recommend?
Esther Perez: I love your videos so much!!! I learn a lot while also having fun
Cali Chanelle: I'm six months into my natural hair journey and I've been watching your videos since day one!! My hair has literally transformed and I know it will only get better!! Thank you for this video especially!! I struggle with frizz on the top of my head and it drives me crazy
MichelleB: This is exactly what I needed. I was looking for Mane by Mell videos where she talks about how to reduce frizz, and then BAM, she posts one
