Dang girl your hair looks so cute here

This video was confusing for me. I am a visual learner and prolly need more of a breakdown for (1) checklist for too much moisture (2) checklist for too much protein Visuals for each... solutions for each. -just a reco. I humbly request for a do over🙂

The "check list" is confusing as it seems to be a mix of both. Need 2 different lists to clearly separate the difference between lack of moisture and lack of protein o,o

I wish I could understand what my hair needs :(

Super helpful, youtube needed a good curly hair specialist like you, who actually nows what she’s talking about 😘

You are one of the best hair experts out there. I keep coming back to your videos for information years after years. Thank you!!!

Frizzy/dry/brittlehair? You need moisture. But if you over moisturize your hair will become soft and you need protein. Other words for protein to look for on products=strengthening/keratin.

This is THE best curly hair channel, its changing my hair for the better!

THANK YOU! I’m 4 weeks into curly girl method abs desperately needed this guidance! I’m still trying to figure out wth my hair needs and response to.

Your hair is so cute. The hair style you got here too. I think out of all the curly hair girls on KZfaq, your hair is my favourite.

Your videos are so helpful and you have an amazing personality idk why you don’t have million subscribers or even more♥️♥️♥️

I've been watching your videos after popping up in my recommendations and I've been on a crazy jumpstart journey for about a week now. I realized/learned that my hair isn't straight and that I've been essentially killing it through bleaching/heat/not knowing exactly how products coincide with each other has just damaged/"trained" my hair to be straighter. Your videos have helped give me a kick in the ass to take better care of it and how to move forward with the upkeep/transition period. Thanks 😁

That hairstyle looks good on you!! Thank you for the info

Thank you!! Extremely helpful!! Exactly what i needed answered!❤

Can you do a video on how to take care of curly hair for swimmers? And what products to use?

can you do a video on thin curly hair?...I don't know if it was stress or maybe me straightening my hair too much but my hair is so much thinner now ( it could be age but we wont talk about that...SSSHHH)

Super helpful! I'm playing around with this right now.

Love all of these videos! Is there a full list of protein ingredients and moisturizing ingredients? I feel like that would be so useful when reading product labels 👀🤓

I wish I could book an appointment with you, but I'm in the UK! 😣 Your videos are great! And your hair is 😍😍😍!

Thank you for these protein and moisture hair videos. I’m not solely focused on having curly hair, but the advice you give has really benefited my hair health. Even if i brush it, its not as super frizzy like it used to be 🥳

Dood, you literally saved me as I was about to get into the shower. My hair needs PROTEIN pretty badly now that I think of it. THANK YOU SO MUCH

For anyone that's confused: Needs more moisture; Frizzy Brittle, hard Needs more protein: Lacks definition, too soft Needs strengthening

Sooo....my hair isn’t to soft or to hard but is lacking definition and has too little volume what exactly do I have?? All this info confused me. 😂

Great Advice! I really never pay attention to protein in my hair so this was a good reminder.

Young Mell is so cute!!!! HAIR ALWAYS POPPIN 😍

this is such a good explanaition

thank u. was very confused on balance between protein and moisture. I think I get it now. 👍👍

I honestly thought I was a crazy person for saying my hair was too soft!! Thank you 🙌🏽

As soon as isolation is over I NEED to book an appointment with you. I've completely ruined my curls and have no idea what I'm doing with my hair anymore

Thanks for this video, it kept me informed. Please share your secrets on how you keep your hair curly? I love your hair, you look very beautiful.

I love love love your hair, your personality, and your delivery style! You make great videos and I'm so happy I found you! I have naturally wavey hair and I usually perm it. It's been about 4-5 months since my last perm and about a month since I bleached it. I love fun, bright colors! How long should I wait before perming again? I'm a 3/4 porosity. Thank you in advance and keep spreading the curly love!

Do a curly bangs tutorial or just talk about them cuz I've been wanting bangs but curly bangs kinda scare me but look so good on everyone I see

Very informative👌🏾👌🏾 nice video

I just love her personality.

Great video and info

Your hair looks so good here

I love love love love love love love love how u explain things and your hillarious too! Working on bringing some moisture and curl to my daughter's 4a hair..I learned,moisturizing her hair in the shower is a must. Between you and @Hakima Alem . I been tackling my poor baby's hair, to bring to life. Thanks 😊

I think I finally get it! Thank you!

This is my go to hairstyle lol. And now that I have cut myself bangs (thanks for your video on that), it looks even cuter!!

Thank you for this! My hair has lost almost all its definition and has no life. I see that I defiantly need protein in my hair. I will be doing a protein treatment tomorrow.

Love this! Thanks 💓

Super helpful information 💚

I just bleached my virgin hair and it really damaged my curls. I’m hearing all your great tips and am eager to wash my hair and try them. How often can I wash my hair to retreat my curls?

Superb explanation...

I absolutely love how dorky you are!

Girl...when I started watching this video my hair goals became skin goals

The best video the explain the moisturise and protein.

I just permed my hair 2 days ago and ive been looking at different videos from other curly girls BUT you are THE BEST no joke ive been binging on your videos!!! Cant get enough of it! And its sooo HELPFUL! Keep on with the nice work😍😍😍 do you have any tips for a perm hair? Can i treat it like its a naturally curly hair? Thank you i love you so much!❤️❤️❤️

This video was the most helpful! It really gets straight to the point! Thank you! 😊

Subscribed! I love your vibe. Also, I have curly hair...well had..it's been getting straight lately. Weird.

Hi Mel! I’m in the process of going super blonde and am currently using Paul Michelle ‘s tea tree special color shampoo because it’s for color treated hair and because my scalp loves tea tree. My hair colorist has been using the Olaplex line every coloring treatment, which I’ve read is the best for color treating hair. My question to you is, do you know anything about Olaplex? I’m wondering if it would be better for me to use their line when I’m away from the hairdresser as well, or if I should continue to do what’s been working good for my hair. I’m always looking to improve my hair regimen, if there’s a possibility of there being a better way of doing things. Also, I haven’t ever tried purple shampoos before because I’ve never gone as blonde as I am now. (As far as I can tell, Olaplex doesn’t have a purple shampoo) Is that something you’ve tried and do for your hair and would you recommend purple shampoos over others when it comes to being platinum or close to platinum blonde?

Exactly what i needed but let see if its gonna help or not

Hey Mel, can you go through what each bit of the checklist means? eg if you say yes to definition that means protein etc etc

Can you recommend products ? 🙏🏻

Love your videos! Each time I watch them I learn something new! Could you talk about silicones? There are some people who swear against them, so I would love to hear your perspective.

So, for me, I’m still confused. I have fine, medium curly, color treated hair. I have breakage and I feel I have hair that is coming out from the roots, also. I’m using the Biolage R.A.W. line right now (Recover). I’ve been falling into the trap that silicones are not helping my hair quality. Also I’ve been using the Curl Defining Butter, and though it works well it’s very heavy for my fine hair. is this line giving me protein, moisture, or hopefully both? I would like to try the anti frizz control styling spray. I’m also willing to try the RAW Replenish Oil Mist or the Honey Milk leave in. I don’t dry my, it air dries 95% of the time. Should I be using another category in the R.A.W. line? I want to stay away from silicones. Also I do love the Biolage Smooth Setter leave in. BUT, big on silicones but does leave soft curl. Not defined curl. I’m really confused. Really need help. And I can never get a solid answer from my stylist. I’m really frustrated over this. Thank you.

Omg you are golden 😍🙌

please please please make a hydral fatique video, over moistuised hair!

Can you recommend which products are good for moisturizing the hair? I’m having a hard time finding products that are protein-free.

Omg I'm high porosity and I used to never do protein but after my wash day yesterday, I got protein overload for the first time ever and I had a mini freak out because I've never experienced my hair in that state before. I should have listened to my hair. Last week I skipped the protein because it felt very strong. Definitely learned my lesson 😖

TY for this video! My hair checks off every point (except too much volume - its more like frizz) so I definitely have moisture overload! Early in my hair journey I attributed some of my hair characteristics to a protein sensitivity - so its been 3 years using protein super sparingly. What would you recommend for an updated routine? I don't want to over-do-it with protein now but I've been using DevaCurl Deep Sea Repair as a DC for 2 wash days now, its kinda sorta helping maybe :-$ any recommendations super appreciated!! Thanks again!

I’m in middle school and I’m just starting my curly hair journey!😊 My hair is damaged, dry, half n half, splits, frizzy, and doesn’t have as much volume or definition I know it’s capable of. I straightened my hair every 2 days for a year and 1/2. I also washed my hair EVERY day with heavy shampoos and didn’t really use conditioner. Thanks to your channel I’ve bought my first deep conditioner!💕 I also bought the Cantu curl cream and was wondering where to get the Denman brush? Thank you for all your help and I can’t wait to see what my curls can do at their full potential!💕 (sry it’s corny)

Thank youu. It's very helful🫶🌷

when I do the single strand stretch thing my hair snaps...so that means I need protein but when I do use a protein treatment ( i use sean paul Myne Organix hair mask) it makes my hair so weird feeling....like you know that feeling like it's squeaky clean that it almost feels like those aluminum scrubs we use to do the dishes and so not moisturized and my hair just feels so brittle and frizzy when it's wet and it will continue to throw its tantrum on me with frizz and dryness for the rest of the week....but I don't get the same result from using a product like Cantu curl activator cream which has some protein in it...instead it defines my curls and it works just fine..so what should I do...right now I'm glued to my regular hydrating hair mask by loreal which is the exclusive oils deep conditioner and I also use the conditioner from the same line.

Recommendations for protein mask/ treatments?

I didn’t know what protein for hair was until I saw this video. I found out I’m over moisturizing my hair and that it needs protein. I picked a protein mask and did one treatment. It looks so much better and lot less frizz

is their such a thing as too much gel use? thank you!!!

Is adding keratin to my hair good or bad for example I have the chi keratin mist but I don't know if I should use it

Thank you so much for the awesome and educational videos. I am trying to embrace my curls but this hair care thing is all science. I’m wash and go now that I am doing the curly girl thing instead of straightening my hair at 425 degrees without a heat protectant…I know, amazing I still have hair. I think was has helped though is it don’t colour or chemically treat it. My hair was looking great, i was cowashing with conditioner & plopping overnight (I’m not anymore after I read why plopping more than 45 minutes can cause many different types of fungi 🤢). This video has helped me to determine that, although my hair is not breaking, there is no bounce or elasticity in it so moisture is the prescription. Will try to cowash a few times a week to see if it improves. Thanks again for all your help & virtual advice, love the content not only is it informative but entertaining. If you ever decide to do a pop-up salon in Ottawa, give me a heads up. 😉

My hair is professionally bleached blonde and I decided to do a hot oil treatment. I used Jamaican black castor oil warmed then cap for 30 minuets. Washed with SM Jamaican black castor oil poo. Used my normal style products. When my hair was dry I had long stringy tight spiral curls. I asked on CG FB site. They said I had protein overload. My hair when wet won’t stretch but immediately snaps. I purchased NYMN shampoo and detangler, pink bottle. After wash and de tangle I scrunch n Bioterra gel. Got my curls back big time but I’m frizzy. Do I continue on road I’m on, do I need more moisture and how do I get it. My hairs 61 yrs old, bleached, high porosity 3c on top 4a underneath. I love u and ur sister to pieces. Look forward to every new video. Thx

Useful video .. Pls show some diy homemade hair mask

Hey! I always have this problem of flattening my curl pattern every time I put it up, doesn't matter what style or if it's for sleeping. I can't get past 2nd-day hair because of this! any tips?

I use protein for a month now and I feel like my hair still lacks of definition and feels too soft. Should I give it more time or is it just my hair?

I'd love a little tutorial on this hair style! I can never get mine right!!!

Could you recommend some products the would help with protein and moisture

Hi Mel! I have been binge watching all of your videos.... 8 have fine very dry 3a curls (I think) lol... What shampoo and conditioner do you recommend.. I live in Vegas so it's very dry and even though it's winter here it's about 60°... Also one more question. Am I supposed to condition before I deep condition every week? Or do I just shampoo and DEEP Condition?

Can you mix a protein treatment/mask and a moisturizing one (say 50/50) if you have pretty ok porosity (something like grade 2-3 porosity)?

what kind of products give my hair moisture?

How long do you need to use a product before knowing if it works for your hair or not?

My hair has been really stringy lately and lacking definition. I’ve been doing deep conditioners, but should I be doing a protein treatment to get it to bounce back?

I love your tutorial and lipstick colour! Whose it by.? Cheers X

I don’t even know what to do with my hair anymore... :c, it’s very dry and frizzy and my curls have lost their definition

Hey mell, would u pls consider doing a video about hygral fatigue specifically? Or spill me some advice about it :) For example; after washing my hair I can't figure out if i need to put a 'protective' kind of styler in it, or just.. nothing. Currently im already in this stage for 2 months.

ok I'm confused. I have processed hair (bleaches) and it is high porosity... so I assume I need protein in my regimen, but my hair is dry and breaking... so people tell me its protein overload.. but I'm not even using as much as you. so idk how I'm overloading it. I'm stuck.
