I'm so glad!

Relatable! 😂😂 (Rocker in '80's here👋🏻 with teased long hair (*Final net!), satin blazer & spandex leggings with bitch boots❣️🤘🏻)

I totally agree with you! I love Mel and I wholeheartedly Trust her when it pertains to hair tips. But I tried everything that I’ve seen from her videos and other Influencers. But what works for me & gives me perfect curls is Mousse & Hairspray! That’s it, That’s all. And my curly hair looks perfect with just those two products and lasts for days, sometimes a full week. I also notice when I moisturize my hair before styling l, it makes it frizzy smh… so I converted back to the same Regimen that I used my whole entire life. We truly do Not need all of these products, we just need to find the products that work best for us

I totally agree! But the list is only gonna get longer. Remember, influencers get paid to push products on us.

@@josie2796 Yep it's time to deinfluence curly hair

@@beaniebop84 Exactly 💯

You have the choice to NOT be influenced by these influencers/youtubers. They create videos on this topic so that we are aware of the products and get some reviews, in no way they're trying to force us to use any product. I just stick to affordable daily shampoo, clarifying shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave in creams and gels. That's all. Once in a while I try new brands because I get bored of using same old stuff. It's your choice after all how you choose to do your hair. My friend has curly hair and isnt into CG much. She just conditions her curls and let them be just like that. What you want to do with your hair is your decision. And it's influencers job to keep talking about new products, brands, techniques and trends but who said it was mandatory to follow it all?

Facts!! Alcohol is NOT the problem, it’s how it’s used! Hair spray can be a curls best friend!🫶🏻

Thank you so much 🤗 that means a lot!

Which one do you use?

how often would you say you use it? cause i’m scared it’ll damage my haor

I love this, too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it’s lighter than gel!!

Use a conditioner on your wet hair BEFORE using shampoo to remove the hairspray

Happy to help!

@@ManesByMell 🥰 I am 65 years old and I have learned so much from watching you. I even bought some of your recommendations!

Same!

I know Mel has mentioned before that you can find some hats that come with a silk/satin lining that can help protect your curls while you're wearing a hat. A quick google search is bringing up satin-lined ball caps, bucket hats, and beanies. Good luck!

Happy happy texture Thursday lynzi ❤️❤️❤️

Same here but we cannot get Eva range in Australia 😭

I’m obsessed with their strong hold🧡

@@gracedottavi3174 I’ll have to try it!

I thought it would do that to my curls too. But the Curlsmith one is amazing and doesn’t

I absolutely love that!! I’m sure they used a strong hold gel on your super wet hair. What are you currently using?!

@@ManesByMell I was using Olaplex number 9 with Davines medium hold modeling gel on top. I just ran out of the Olaplex serum and replaced it with CurlSmith weightless air dry cream. I used to use the Davines strong hold cream gel and it was the closest I got to having the highest hold on my hair, but it was so out when I tried to repurchase. I always style in the shower on soaking wet hair. I also have the AG foaming gel but haven’t found the best way to use it without getting frizz because I like to brush products through my hair.

Yes please recommend a few setting sprays.

I love the Rizos Curls hairspray!!

I LOVE the new Curlsmith one. I put it on freshly washed dried& diffused hair. Then in the morning I put more. And as the days go on, I add more if I desire

I too just recently did a chop for more added volume! I have a loose fine curl texture and I can say that adding a sea salt texture spray has helped me a lot in volume and maintaining the volume!

@@bellzchellz Sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the tip! :)

@@juliaw.3063 lmk how it works out for you 😊 I live in south Florida where the heat and humidity is crazyyyyyy and I’ve found se salt spray works wonders

+1 for Kenra #25 as a finishing spray. Great hold and not sticky.

I just bought it the other day and I’m obsessed

Knowledge and goofball, can’t ask for more ❤️🧡

CS has a spray gel, IIRC, which you apply at the same point in your routine at which you'd apply a liquid gel. It's still a gel, just easier to apply and manage than liquid gels, which you have to squeeze/scoop into your hand and manually spread it over your hair. Not sure if you were referring to that product or a true hairspray.

@@tigershark_524 CS had it as "Flawless Finish Hairspray" in flexible or strong hold in an aerosal can so it is a hairspray. I haven't seen a single thing on the curlsmith website about a spray gel though. Maybe you're talking about another brand potentially?

Also, can it be used daily?

on it!

If I 2c waves too. My hair loves leave-in and oil. The issue is not to use too much when it comes to oil. Two tiny drops is enough. When I first read about oil, I put way too much and ended up looking like I had not showered in 2 weeks. Ha ha. But because I didn't know how sparingly we need to use it.

Hi! I’m certainly not Mell but the hairspray I’ve loved for years is the Aussie Mega hairspray. It has a good hold but isn’t sticky at all. Like most Aussie products I’ve used, it smells so good too! It’s inexpensive and I use so little that a bottle will last me about a year. I usually get it at Walmart. I don’t know what Mell would say about it but I love it!

Sorry she isn't liking her curls. That is tough. Have you gone to a stylist that specializes? If you can, that may be a good step. I would also emphasize that the hair you see on YT is not... realistic. Its in front on cameras, usually right after a wash & style. Lighting makes a huge difference too. Look at some of their pre-wash or day 3. People (myself included) get caught up in an 'anti-frizz' that is not realistic... and was pretty damaging for me. I don't decide how I am going to treat someone based on some frizz, and so I need to not judge myself... and realise noone else is judging me (which would be super hard at 11) I have low porosity hair (very fine, low density, caucasian) & I have really been liking the LUS All in One (wavy would be my rec). It is a leave-in with the hold products of a mousse. I use a bit of a different gel with it, but that is my foundation. The porosity of the hair and how thick the strand is are the two main things to consider when buying products... rather than curl type. You need to look for care for low porosity hair that has enough hold for her curls. eVOLVH Wonderbalm ($$$ but it lasts a long time) is a silicone alternative. I also LOVE their deep conditioner (pricy, has protein thats small & safe for low po, and you don't need a separate mask asker, curl junky Repair Me is good, but heavier). Mel is all things knowledgeable, but I would find a few products for her porosity & texture/fine, coarse (watch mels vids on porosity)... Then look to some folks that have a similar curl pattern for styling... I think WavyGalla, GinaMarie, Holistic Enchilada (she has low density fine hair)...

Brush through leave in on soaking wet hair & add a bit of curl cream (not too much), that can be brushed through as well & just scrunch up (mico plop), either let it air dry or diffuse. My granddaughter has super long 3a spirals, all one length down to her lower back. My daughter only uses those 2 products on her hair. A spray bottle with a little bit of either product above on refresh days using praying hands & her curls spring right back up. She has an array of products since they both have curly hair but ik she likes Curls Blueberry Bliss, KKNT, Maui Moisture, also Cantu & Shea moisture kids products, ik the last 2 aren't always recommend but they work for her. Just remember less is usually more. I wish I could post a pic Ugh I rave over my granddaughter's curls every time I see her, I always say I trade curls as hers are so beautiful. Show her videos or get her a kid's book on curly hair. Tell her how so many wish they had curls but got stuck with straight hair, just a lot of reassurance. Sorry so long, Best of luck 🥰

I agree with the top two comments, leave in conditioner and maybe a gel or mousse. Brush style. Scrunch with tshirt & plop or diffuse. I have low porosity 3a/3b curls and my hair is fine with medium density

You need good products. Look at ingredients. Look for Shea butter, oils… I use Alaffia from Whole Foods (better than Shea moisture who changed their ingredients), kinky curly leave in conditioner, and Biolage Gelee styler ( not sticky at all). Put on wet hair, brush out in sections. And scrunch excess moisture out with a cotton tshirt. Other good moisturizing hair brands: Camille rose, Mielle, Curlsmith.. Check what the ingredients are in what she currently uses. My hair HATES aloe Vera, and it dries it out and is too much protein-yes, aloe is protein. Protein Heavy avoid. Hydrolzed silk, anything like that. Low porosity doesn’t need much

You are a great mom! I went through the "hating my curls phase" for a few years when I was younger. Nobody in my family taught me to lean into the curls. The message was always find a way to straighten your hair. You are doing the right thing by teaching her to love herself and her hair.
