Time? Oh when it comes to my hair I’ll MAKE time. Before you see the end of this routine… over or under 20 minutes to apply products, define curls, and diffuse dry? I challenge you to time your routine without interruptions and see how long it takes you. Don’t rush, just move through your routine with intention, making sure each curl gets attention and see how long the hair lasts you. All the time you invest will 100% be worth it!

Then I scrunch with a microfiber and plop it. Later, I let it air dry a good bit, then right before bed I spend a few minutes blow drying. By that time, it doesn't take much time to blow dry. Put some oil in, and the curl still looks great the next day. Takes barely any time, good after the kids go to bed or if my husband can watch everyone for 15 minutes in the evening.

I was heading up the curly bandwagon for a couple years until I noticed this, then jumped off. Having good hair isn't worth everything else. So now I use decidedly NOT curly-approved products, wash my hair everyday, and let it air dry. I look decent and my whole life is better, not just my hair.

LOL for real. It's because I have my priorities straight that I don't have time for an 18-minute hair routine that will actually take me longer because I'm not a professional stylist, don't have the money to be product shopping for products that work with my hair type (I've tried so many, listened to so many recommendations that make my hair feel and look awful), and honestly, don't have the capacity to dedicate that time to it because I physically cannot. Maintaining curly hair is difficult, and this is coming from a white girl with white girl curls. I have it easy compared to people with other curly and textured hair types. Also, it looks like she at minimum washed her hair or maybe showered before this (the bathrobe is a giveaway) so really it's not an 18-minute routine lmao I'm editing to add that also, for some of us, this isn't just a couple times of week thing. Refreshing my hair includes washing it more frequently than a lot of curly girls because my hair is very fine and product buildup, oil, and the environment in which I live destroy my curls easily. It's a curse to have hair that naturally dries very curly but can't seem to actually h o l d its natural pattern.

I have learned SO SO MUCH from Mell over the past 2 years. I saved this video because I can never get the herring bone pattern thing done correctly on the top of my head. I just realized from watching this short tutorial that she combs it all forward on the top half and works from the back forward… I tried this today, using AG products Mell recommended in prior videos. It took me about 35 minutes from start to finish instead of 2 hours (including the shower), and the top of my hair finally worked out! My hair looks great. My biggest issue: My hair always looks like someone used my head as a wet mop while I slept. …😂 help! I think Mell does a fantastic job of mixing low and high end products so people of all budgets can have beautiful hair. Many of Amanda’s go-to products are not expensive. I would never have known how to begin to style my curls without watching her videos. Plus, Mell is hilarious and kind. Mell has perfected her hair routine by doing it on KZfaq so often. She has worked so hard to get where she is today. I love Mell and I’ve learned how to make my curly hair look really good. Thank you, so much for all you have taught those of us who have paid attention, Melissa. I actually enjoy doing my hair, I absolutely love your videos. You always cheer me up and make me glad I took the time to watch. Keep up the great work. Sending you so many warm hugs from one curly girl to another… ❤😊

Hi Mel, I love your clips and am following you and your sister for a while. Thanks for all the great content. Could you maybe make a clip for everyone who isn’t able to like in the shown clip? This would be so great. 😍 I’m thinking of girls with longer hair, more curls, busy mums, busy jobs, people who are sick or handicapped, people fighting after a loss of a loved one and many other struggles in life. It’s not just about priorities, some of us have good reasons why we struggle. For me there are two handicaps plus illness for many decades. A really minimal hair care routine would be appreciated (probably not just by me) 🥰

Omg thanks, I have no kids but watching this clip I thought "whose priority is their hair ???" I don't wear make-up, don't have a curly girl hair routine, I wear whatever is practical, I save so much time... I'm sure that at the end of our lives we won't say "had I just spent more time on my hair" but rather "I wish I had called my mom/friend/son every 5 days for 20 min" 😌

@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF 11 ай бұрын

genuinely curious, do you have a routine that's actually half this amount of time and effort? for us curlies who are neurodivergent, disabled, or otherwise struggling with mental health? because for me, 5 minutes to 10 minutes tops is my absolute limit. i physically can't do more than that and it's not a priorities issue. i really enjoy your videos and i know you've mentioned wanting to see more inclusivity in haircare, so if anyone could give us a super short routine for less abled curlies i can't think of anyone better than you!

@marelisaful 8 ай бұрын

Maybe skip the multiple steps and do a one step method that is moisturizing and defining in one? For one product I like the shea moisture coconut and hibiscus curl enhancing smoothie. It’s very creamy so if you have looser or finer curls I would maybe dilute with water or use something else from that line. There might one of her older videos that she does a one product routine but I can’t recall if that was her or @mzbiancarenee

@grannyronna 8 ай бұрын

One thing that works for me is to wash it early in the evening, put in some product, let it air dry. Then put it up in a pineapple with a silk scrunchie and it's fine. Second day, maybe spray a little water on it? Pattern makes a great spray bottle. Don't stress.

I agree, to a degree. I think putting in all the products is really easy and non-time consuming but for people who can't afford a defuser (like me), it takes so long. Especially if you took you shower at night, like me again, I just don't have the time as it can take hours :)

I can't dry my hair in 18 minutes, let alone any other styling steps! And it's taken me 4 years on my curly journey & I haven't fully perfected my routine yet. I'm still getting to know my hair as curly so it's still hard to even duplicate results. I'm also disabled, in chronic pain with chronic illness. It takes me at least an hour but it's not because I don't have my priorities straight - I can promise you that. Now even with it taking me as long as it does I still say that for me, it's worth it. Because I don't have to do much on non-wash days so I just wait to wash until I have spoons or a burst of energy. So it's still worth the time because it saves time on subsequent days. You could have delivered a very similar message in a much better way. 🙏

@crispytoast7268 11 ай бұрын

I permanently straightening my curly hair not only bc of how time consuming styling it was, but because of how much time it took to dry. I would wash it at night and if I didn't spend a few hours drying it, the time I spent styling it would be ruined if I slept on it wet.

@amixeblu Жыл бұрын

It doesn't have to take *hours* people! I just accept the little texture I do have. Wash, put it up in a microfiber towel for 5 minutes. Take it down. Wet brush it. Split it in half. Scrunch product in each section. Air dry for as long as I have time (always wash on a Sunday), then all I need to still do is diffuse for about 5 minutes. Done! The time I had to have hands on, very little!

Lucky you! Now imagine having enough hair you need to split it into 6 sections. Air drying doesn't work, I gotta plop and blow dry for at least 45 minutes before I give up. Then finish drying it before bed.

@@Sandyyyyyyyyyy I suffered a ton of breakage this past year (had classic length aka over the booty length hair). But I bunned it 24/7 and a little too tightly for comfort. And so I lost 70% of it in the mid lengths through ends mostly. What you see is the result (profile) having cut back to bra strap length. I just had to do what I had to do! I know about a lot of hair, trust me. I had fist thick hair. Had! And it still did not take me long. It's however much you are willing to spend on it.

@amixeblu I recently cut my hair because the length + thickness made it unbearable. This is why I'm only blowdrying for 45 minutes. When I say I have 2 heads of thick hair on my head, I mean it. When I used to tie my hair up, I only needed to put the tie around my head once, and it was tight enough to hold a ponytail.

I think people who say they don't have time usually mean they don't have the mental energy for it and/or don't realise that the first few times you try out something new it'll take you longer. But once you have the technique down and you know what works for your hair, it'll take a fraction of the time you originally started out with.
