Tip #1: Hot Oil Treatment (1:36) Tip #2: Co-Washing (5:59) Tip #3: Styling (7:33) Tip #4: Protecting Your Hair Outside (9:56) Tip #5: Refreshing (11:06) For those who rewatch videos months later and forget like me 😭

[@user-jl8bv4lq7z]

Thanks!

[@BeTheChange99]

I wish all creators did this already in the video. It's kind of annoying that they don't tbh.

[@elodietackling9101]

Thank youuu 😊

[@nicolem489]

Mel must be protected at all costs! We love you! Always coming through with the fire content

[@ManesByMell]

🥲 than you YOUR CURLS MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nikkid8834]

As an Indian Canadian, thank you for the recognition that the hot oil treatment is a common practice there. Growing up, my mom would often massage my scalp and hair with warm coconut oil.

[@liba4593]

Can you make a video for a minimalist curly hair routine? All of these products add up to be pretty expensive and if you could narrow it down to a few that would be awesome! You can even do a high end and a low end version (or a mix if you want to). It gets so confusing with all of the different products out there on what's necessary and what we could skip out on. Much thanks for everything you do!!!

[@courtneystanley4775]

Canadians ftw (specifically Ontarians) and I super appreciate the tips!!

[@livjames3092]

I’m also an ontarian and I support this message🍁

[@lilartistca]

Ontario ftw! (South Western)

[@ishagermain9525]

From another true canadian gal : you are not only hilarious but your videos are so informative, you are by far THE BEST! Great tips!!

[@itsamandaguido]

Happy texture Tuesday!!

[@NtH2727]

Thank you on the tip to use a clothing steamer! Makes the world of a difference.

[@emily3820]

Let me just say a HUGE thank YOU to you ladies for these educational videos. I have learned about curly hair even more which gave me to confidence to style my older seesters hair (which I have never seen curly in the past 13 years). I used all the techniques youve taught us and she loved how her hair turned out, she’s now styling her beautiful curls herself and I felt like a proud curl mom!! So thank you!!

[@itsamandaguido]

YAY that’s amazing Emily!!🥰🥰❤️❤️

[@snowflakes215]

I safety pinned an old black satin bonnet in my white winter hat…and this gal don’t care! I love it! 🥶 ❄️

[@ManesByMell]

Thanks for liking ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@itsamandaguido]

❤️❤️❤️

[@beccad.8568]

The seesters are the reason why I survived finals this semester. Sounds funny, but you two make me laugh, which I desperately needed during this time. Also, the seesters helped me grow more confident and love my hair. I basically watched almost all of your KZbin videos and am looking forward to more texture Tuesday’s. Thank you so much. Happy holidays!

[@kenzayayay]

If you are comfortable with some more "adult" shall we say, humor I would recommend Broad City, I think the main characters have some Mel energy 😂😁

[@JordanFaith]

Also I’m totally living for this color in your hair. I want a fun color too 😩

[@sarahthegr8er]

Great tips. The bonnet/silk under the cap is genius

[@marions.3657]

the bloopers are kinda of the best part of your video's they give joy to my life

[@hannahanderson8222]

Your Barbie shirt when you're steaming your hair is THE BEST! I want one!! Also, steaming hair has been a game changer for me this year. It is basically how I get all my curls to fall down every morning after being in a bonnet at night. One question though: if I'm doing a different pre-poo treatment (like Curlsmith bonding salve), should I also do the oil? Or should those be on different wash days?

[@kikilapoop4278]

I have a video request if you're interested. Recently brad mondo rated curly girl routines, it would be cool to see your opinions on it, knowing you're very knowledgeable on it. Just a fun suggestion! Also I loved these winter tips 💖

[@madisonxalex]

Yay! Early!!!! Thanks for all you do Mell! Watching this while I detangle!

[@adrianaperezsolorio4320]

Mell, could you review the new shark hair dryer? And possibly do a comparison to the dyson?

[@feliciabethea2211]

Loving the eye look!!!! Thanks so much for the hair tips!!!💜💜💜

[@ruthkuder4349]

Made my day once again! TGITT! Thank you Mel & Amanda. 🥰

This is my second winter in Pennsylvania and I am from the most amazing tropical country called Brazil 🇧🇷 First winter I was happy to see the snow but this winter I am ready for summer already 🤣 I followed all your tips last winter and my curls were amazing, and here we are for one more time of cold curls 😭😍

[@danahebeler632]

Mell and Amanda, you are truly my curly hair gurus! Your videos have really helped me to love my hair! I truly get so many compliments now since following your tips and tricks!! Also, I love the bloopers!! Mell you are hilarious!! Merry Christmas!!

[@goldalevin869]

Love your generosity, your tips and your make up in this tutorial. Thank you and Happy New Year. :)

[@permanentlyjaime9965]

The wind on Saturday in Southern Ontario was no joke! All your advice even helps my permed hair. Another great video on texture Tuesday. With a house full of Italian Canadians we are swimming in olive oil here 😆

[@kimramirez1946]

Yes girl Yesss it’s starting to get colder here in NY. I tried the hot oil treatment last year and it did wonders ! ❤️ love ya

[@hildafigueroa5703]

Thank you for your winter curly hair tips. I'm going to invest on a steamer for my hair. God bless you always.

[@sara.m88]

You really got me hooked on the Verb Ghost Oil and I'm loving it!!! Thank you so much!

[@nataliequintana7257]

Your tips are amaziiinggg… cant wait to try this hot oil treatment cocktail for my hair !!

[@aenigmatica8]

You bring all this amazing knowledge with so much pizazz. So fun to watch.

[@cheyennelake1086]

My hair and skin both are in need of MUCHO love as I live in a frozen wasteland as well. Great vid!

[@jaz1elise]

I live in a humid climate. I definitely do tip #4 with wearing my silk scarf under my beanies. I haven't done a hot oil treatment in awhile, so I need to do some this winter. Great video, Mell and Amanda!

[@a.m.j797]

I live in a desert climate, and even though it's "winter" now, it's even drier than before (especially since ACs are still on all the time indoors)! Maybe the some of the same principles can apply, I always wondered why adding more water made my hair even frizzier.... I'm going to try some of these anyway and see how it goes

[@GinaMarieCheeseman]

In California's Central Valley, we have a desert climate in the summer. Bone dry and triple-digit heat. However, in the winter it's cold (okay, 50 degrees F is cold to me) and foggy. I struggle with my hair in the winter because the humidity is higher.

[@axhas6956]

we really need a video for desert climates. there’s barely any for curly hair on youtube

[@a.m.j797]

@@axhas6956 Yeah. I only ever found one good one, by Curly Chelle. I remember someone asked Mell and she referred to her winter videos since that's when it's dry for her in the year. All I can say from personal experience is 1) shampoo frequently because of the sweat and dust from the heat 2) be careful with humectants, I try to look for products (specifically stylers) with low or no glycerin and instead i look for film-forming humectants like aloe vera, flax seed, mallow root, and proteins! 3) don't over-moisturize your hair, that will just make your hair even drier; consider using a light oil to seal ends and add shine 4) a hard hold gel can help a lot 5) style your hair in your bedroom, not your shower, that way you get a more accurate look at how your hair will look since its humid in the shower 6) never ever go outside with wet hair! air dry at home if you want, but going outside is asking for all the water in your hair to be immediately sucked out and give you frizz. That's all... and I'm still learning, my hair is in it's 2nd year being curly, so I'm still transitioning a little bit. It's harder to find good affordable products where I live moreso than actually do all the other steps (I'm not strictly CG, I still use sulfates and silicones, although rather sparingly). I hope it helped even a little!

[@GinaMarieCheeseman]

@@axhas6956 Yes, we do need one. I can't find anything on KZbin for a desert climate.

[@amandawilson890]

I would try some heavy butters like shea butter on your mids and ends. I live in texas now so its super humid here most of the year, but i used to live in the mojave ... and i have always basically treated my hair like its an extension of my skin care. So if there is a specific ingredient that is helping your skin with the dryness, look for hair products with the same ingredient in it.

[@Sara-ud7co]

The bonnet under the beanie is actually life changing

[@ManesByMell]

It’s everything

[@stephaniekenney8954]

I still in my first year of my curly hair journey and am missing a couple items in my winter arsenal. So without further ado 😉 this desert girl's got some shopping to do. Thank you so much! Very helpful!

[@Ariel_530]

Thank you so much ❤️. You have helped me on my hair journey more than anyone else. I wish I could show you the difference that I've had especially after three specific videos I've watched from you. For some reason those videos just made everything click. I can't thank you enough ❤️🙏🏽

[@collettemarquez7851]

I live for the bloopers Mel!

[@sinellygil]

Can you do a more in depth refresh in the winter? Love you ! You’ve saved my curls 🥰

[@daphne715bu8]

This was super helpful!!! THANK YOU SEESTERS!!!

[@ManesByMell]

Glad you liked it!!❤️❤️

[@vanessaleon4456]

Thank you sooo much for this video 😍...i always do a hot oil treatment sooo good for the hair...but i have problem with my back hair which always remain dry...😭😭😭

[@TheNickyAndTheDogs]

Love you Mel! You have helped me sooooooo much with my hair. I’m the ONLY person with curls (or who wears them natural) in my family. Thank you so much!

[@beecontrera5722]

omg I needed this ! I know New Jersey/York gonna be wild for winter 😂👀😮‍💨

[@mystifett6698]

This video was really helpful. My hair has been dry lately and now I know why. Thank you.

[@angiect3791]

Mel & Amanda, I did an entire AG Hair (except leave in) wash day yesterday. I have to admit...you were right. The products rock and my curls are on fire! The smells are very strong at first but they don't last long so it is okay. I used the Thikk shampoo & conditioner and I have volume! First time ever. So a thumbs up from my super fine, medium porosity, medium density hair.

[@itsamandaguido]

I love this for you!!! Thank u for letting us know your experience 🥰 so glad the line worked well for you!!

[@cassandramadaicruz]

i live for the endings of your videos🤣🤣, hilarious!

[@borimichels8828]

I’m only here since the first lockdown, that was the time when I found your channel! Since then your tips and tricks changed my hair and my relationship with it, since then I am a hair freak!😂 Thank you seesters! ❤️

[@Divineheart7]

I live in a cold desert where we get hot summers with 5% humidity then cold winters with 10% humidity. I need all the moisture I can get. At least my hair is on the wavy side with a few ringlets, so it doesn't get so dry. I am going to try co-washing with my conditioner which does foam up when I brush it through. I never thought of that before, thanks!

[@christinamichael809]

I can’t thank you enough. Winter time I just give up and straighten my hair. I have a hair goals for my curls and I want to cut out heat. So all this information is so much appreciated

[@abbi5759]

Thank you so much for your videos! Love them. I watch and rewatch them! How about a video about a cast. Your hair always looks to have a great cast at the end of diffusing. No matter what gel I use at then end, my hair really doesn’t have a hard cast 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@luzmorones7319]

Love it! I am about cut my budget drastically & this came just in time! Can't wait to try the hot oil treatment! & Mell you look fabulous as always!

[@ManesByMell]

I love that for you! I’m a budget girl myself so I’m glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️

[@suziealthens1258]

I live in Alaska and we have about two more months of winter than you. It's painful for curly hair. Love your suggestions! Gonna make myself a little silk bandanna for under those hats! And my hair LOVES shea butter. I melt it between my hands and rake it through, have a cup of coffee and wash it out. So soft!

[@teresacleveland5941]

Just found your vids while looking for curly girl hair tips, u r so cute! Looooove u & ur seesters curls, go girlzzzzzz! Gurlz wit da curlzzzzzzzzzzz! Thanks for the advice, will try the tips!

[@minnauyeda8002]

Love doing the hot oil treatments. I use red pimento, jojoba and the lavender scented black castor oil. Let it sit while I take an Epsom salt soak, smells amazing and great for a spa experience.

[@ManesByMell]

That sounds like magic 😍😍

[@Fearsify]

With some delay! Finally able to watch this video😍😍😍 such a hectic week but this helps me for my next wash day which is on Saturday. Talk about perfect timing😎 thank youu for educating me on my curls❤️

[@catdogdogcat3481]

I love this! Appreciate the budget friendly oil ideas. My hair is super dry right now, perfect timing. And I have most the diy ingredients. Btw Canada looks freezing.

[@deannaramirez6940]

I love your videos and I wish you could send some of that cold weather our way. I live in Texas on the gulf coast and we've had the warmest December in recorded history!.... after having that freak freeze back in February. 🥴 Nothing but 80 degrees and muggy, uggy, humidity!

[@oliviafritz7799]

Thank you!!

[@CurlyLeticia]

Thank you so much for these tips because lately I feel like my hair is struggling. This winter is really doing it.

[@ManesByMell]

It’s been a BRUTAL winterb

[@aida087]

Thank you for sharing Mel!! I love oiling my hair but always thought with my high-porosity hair, hot oiling was a no-no!! But now with the Winter weather approaching, I just did a hot oil treatment with olive oil, jbco oil and sweet almond oil with a few drops of lavender oil!! And literally, my hair felt softer applying my oil while warmer!! My fav parts of my routine are oiling and deep conditioning, and I haven't cowashed in so long but will incorporate it, thank you again!!❤❤❤🙏

[@carlaoliveira8950]

I live for the last couple of minutes with the “bloopers” 🤣

[@christina6254]

I can’t wait to try this! You are the best (and Amanda is a brilliant editor) 💞 You had mentioned on Instagram that you put a temporary color in your Eva NYC conditioner. Can you show us how you do that? 🕉 💟

[@danielaerazoreyes]

Thank you for this video! I am in North Idaho, 45 minutes from the Canadian border, so I definitely do experience some cold!

[@heyyyyy5483]

I have straight hair and I use the big bottles of ogx coconut milk shampoo and conditioner then the coconut oil spray in the summer and the coconut miracle oil in winter.The scent lasts on my hair for 3 days everyone says my hair is sooo shiny and smells soooo good.

[@andreaplummer3841]

I'm in Houston. We got highs in the upper 70's, low 80's this week. And thick fog every morning.

[@nikkid8834]

Great tips! Protective styling buns, braids important too. I tried the steam thing once, I feel like I lost the curl pattern/definition with the steam.

[@prophetinhealing5610]

I would love to see a video about how to take care of children's curls. I feel like I started on this curl journey to learn more about how to care for my daughter's curls properly, but ended up learning so much about my own hair in the process! I often wonder if I should be using the pricier products like Aveda on my girl's curls, and if that's necessary. Anyways, thank you for another awesome and informative video! Love this channel, I've learned so much!

[@carlashibayama1614]

Mel you were right about the shampoo..Lohan Herb Shampoo..reasonable and it really helps..

[@alineparadis8444]

Love those reminders! Hair has been super dry lately :,( (I'm from Ottawa, so I get those winters too!) I will be adding the pre treatment with oil! Your bloopers made me lol!! 🤣 😘
