I love when u do my hair once a year❤️

[@emilyfurda]

The look you gave when she went on about fire 😂 a year is probably what you need to mentally recover. Seriously though, your hair is gorgeous. Hope you feel better soon. 💜

[@lyanagonzalez5599]

Looking fabulous Miss Amanda and get better soon , a remidy that has worked for my family in generations , boil some ginger , anise , cinamen , clove, and a naturally flavored tea of your choice , I like lady/ earl grey or an orangey tea and if you already have a tea of that type even better

[@vbetz6357]

The color is gorgeous and very flattering with your skin tone.

[@chaninashairjourney6116]

Beautiful 😍 hair and lady

[@tink3rquinn]

How are you liking the K18??

[@giselleortega7928]

I would kill to have a sister that can cut and dye my hair so beautifully like this. Amanda is blessed! Love the transformation :)

[@emilyfurda]

4:18 the moment Amanda, again, questions Mell’s sanity & this life choice. 😂 This was so fun to learn about. Hope you’re feeling better soon, Amanda.

[@bluBlaq33]

As a hairdresser and curl owner myself, this was very educational and awesome. Love love love Curly color education. Subscribed.

[@martaycorrales5537]

😆 Amanda face when Mel was mixing it up….too Cute!! Love ya both!!! ☺️🙌🏼❤️🙏🏽

[@ManesByMell]

She had no idea what I was going and was scared the whole time LOL

[@martaycorrales5537]

Lolol 😆 She will learn to trust the process some day…☺️ Her hair comes out Fabulous every time you do your Magic 🤗🪄❤️

[@nikki5452]

Hi Seesters! I just wantd to say a huge thank you for helping me "reconnect" with my curly hair. I was going through a severe "I hate my curls" stage and was almost going to get a keratin treatment to straighten my hair...then I discovered your videos! Now I know how to wash, prep, style and seal my hair properly, why I was getting more frizz than form, and so many other useful tips. Plus, I love the dynamics between you both (reminds me of my seester and me - I'm like Amanda - a bit more chill and serious - and she's like Mel - a little cray cray in a good way.) After straightening my hair for 20 years while I lived in Japan, covid "forced" me to embrace my natural hair again, and your videos have helped me love them again. Thanks so much! Texture Tuesday is now one of the higlights of my You Tube feed :)

[@curlywavydiane]

I did k18 for 6 washes back in June and then once a week every since…I absolutely love it. I was using olaplex for years and for me I feel k18 worked better for my hair. I don’t dye but have residual damage from bad products in 2019 I’m still trying to heal the ends with and also everyday wear and tear damage….k18 is fantastic!

[@ifnotnowifnotus]

Wow I can't get over how gorgeous Amanda's hair looks!!

[@hopesidote9992]

This looks so good. Love my weekly seester fix. Amanda looks a little scared, and Mell just charges in.

[@minnauyeda8002]

[@turkeyleg5824]

i would love to see an updated curly to straight or straight back to curly tutorial on Amanda so we can see what her new highlights look like on straight hair!

[@ellagarfi4661]

I just booked my first highlights today! This video is so useful, I might ask them to do pintura instead of foils. Love your videos :)

[@gianngonzales9086]

Yes! I literally sent Mel an Instagram message asking about the K18 leave-in treatment a couple weeks ago! 😄

[@madellinekalenius7274]

Omg I just did color very similar to this! Amanda’s hair has always been my inspiration🤩🤩

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

[@gabrielleprice480]

I kept looking at the back of Mell's hairstyle in the reflection of the shower door and it is absolutely gorgeous! I'd love to see a tutorial on how to create that look!

[@nydiam3909]

Every time I watch a seester transformation video I want to dye my hair! Btw I recently bought the tangle teezer detangling brush and the ah hair cream and they’re FANTASTIC

[@Aphrodite01]

Which cream?

[@yasmine2556]

hii! happy texture tuesday! 2 minutes ago

[@reyno6826]

How is your whole family gorgeous? You're so good at explaining and teaching in details! Her cut is amazing! Can you do a detailed cut on how you did her hair so I can take it to someone to do it for me? I looove it!

[@lyanagonzalez5599]

Looking FABOLOUS like always happy texture tuesday everyone, lovd ya seesters , these color videos have been extra interesting for me recently since i plan to get color for the first time February next year so i’ve been researching a lot , unfortunately I don’t have a curl specialist accesible to me but I did manage to get an appointment with a good reputable stylist but im not sure if they know how to color curls so i Might be sharing last year’s video as inspo for what i want or even this one

[@wandygonzalez8078]

Great video. I cracked with Amanda's face expressions when you were talking about the oxidizer. 🤣🤣🥰🥰

[@jennyrose9454]

Oh gosh love the outfits! And nice technique.

[@kpupio1006]

Love this transformation!! Also wish I had a stylist seester to do my hair 😊🙃

[@mandeekeefer6151]

You know, I have been highlighting my own hair in this same style (as well as only using a lvl 20 developer) for about 20 yrs. I have been told so many times this is not how you should highlight hair, that you need foils, you need the heat, but then told that my hair looks great, by stylists. I never stopped doing it this way, because I liked the results. NIce to know the hair stylists community finally caught up.. TWENTY YEARS LATER. Sigh....

[@Chanisya]

Omg stop... Mel you look freakin' ADORABLE!! Your hair with its sweet little fly away beebopper CURLS bouncing around your face... SO CUTE!! (love the top and hair style /band combo... AH!!) 🥰

[@Gayanega]

Oh, I saw Amanda's freshly colored hair on holidays gifts video 🤣🤣💖💖 I was a little bit sad, that it went past the camera :) now I'm happy, thanks😍😍😘😘

[@lynnsaker6240]

Hi🥰 Happy Texture Tuesday!!!

[@derrickjenniferwatkins1394]

Looks lovely, Amanda! My left side of hair is thinner and looser than my right side as well...

[@strwbryblondi07]

Perfect timing, I've been debating trying to highlight my own hair for a while. Looks great, would love to see how it looks on straight hair. My hair is loose wavy, so I'm not sure which method would be best for me.

[@kathysahori]

This is amazing 💚💚💚so pretty

[@ruthkuder4349]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

Can't choose Amandas hair just looks amazing no matter what. Warmth is equally pretty.

Love this video! Would you be able to do a video on how to do pintura highlights on yourself from home? 💛

[@miasedrak6298]

Mel, can you and your seester make a video explaining how to refresh your curls on non-wash days?😊I’m trying to start embracing my curls! Luv ur videos! 💜

[@blackeneddove]

I just started using K18! What a timely video. ☺️ So far I have two wash days in with the product (just the at home leave in) and it may be too soon to tell, but I do feel like my coils are springy-er! Since I only wash once a week it will take me a bit to see the final results of using it. Im still excited to see what will happen!

[@MURPHxiii]

Same here, just did my 2nd treatment yesterday! The at home version is the same formulation as the salon version so you know, the pros just get a bigger bottle and a better price 🤓

[@Aphrodite01]

@@MURPHxiii ya the mask is the same but the mist is for pros only

[@wh0sthatgirl]

Looks great! Can you share what you used for toner please? I love Amanda's color! Awesome job :)

[@roussel9462]

Amanda’s skin is GLOWING in this video. Share your secrets lol

[@shon4308]

Hey Mell and Amanda! Thanks for the great videos we appreciate the hard work you put into them❤️. I was wondering though if there is a difference (from damage perspective) between getting your whole head bleached blonde vs blonde highlights when having curly hair? I know that there are a lot of other factors like how light im going, before and after care, products...etc. lets say that everything is the same and were starting with a healthy curly hair(not virgin)

[@juliecueva1584]

Omg Amanda’s is gorgeous!! What was your toner formula? I’m obsessed.

[@aleshiacortez7385]

I've been using the K18 mask for years now and it has saved my hair after some questionable bleach sessions. Still trying to convince my stylist to by the professional versions.

[@rejesus7106]

i did this on my hair myslef. with bleach and i lifted to the exact shade of brown i wanted. subtle but there. and mind you i got rlly dark hair but a toner wasnt needed. i got the perfect shade. but what i may do if i want them redder is go in with a red toner. but the brown on black base is giving

LOVE THIS VIDEO! Please can you make a video where you do pintura highlights on yourself? Please and thank you! ❤️

Me too

[@suziealthens1258]

You seesters are so beautiful and fun to watch. Going to ask my stylist if she can do this for me and share this video with her. Thank you so much! BTW, my hair LOVES the K18. I still condition before I use it even though it says not to. I’m such a rebel. :)

[@aleksandralempart8305]

Pointless to waste money on it if you coat your hair with conditioner first lmao

[@suziealthens1258]

@@aleksandralempart8305 I'm going to try it as directed again but put a leave in conditioner on after. My hair was WAY too dry without conditioner, but the K18 was still effective. I'm sure it will be more so this way :)

[@nix3081]

Another wonderful video! I was wondering if you could review the Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus line. It is what I’m currently using and I would love your informational advice because I see that it might be to heavy to my finer, thinner curly hair as I’m trying to get it more voluminous. Ty! (I’ve also heard ab Herbal Essence but I know nothing ab that 😩)

Wow What color is the toner? beautiful!

[@sali_aj]

love her hair

[@VengefulAngeI]

I'm also curlier on my right! Especially as the days go on after wash day ... The left side starts to fall while the right tightens up sometimes. It makes my length look uneven by day 5 sometimes

[@pantherGuenhwyvar]

Bought it and will try it. Maybe the most visible results are on straight and very damaged hair..for my curly hair I hope it will tame frizz on top of the head and make it little less dry.

[@shellisbeautyaddiction824]

It's the way Amanda was looking at Mel when she was mixing the lightner. She was looking at her like she has already lost her mind. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@deshawnalang1736]

K18 and Olaplex have a place in a hair care regime since they benefit the hair in different ways. I just started using K18, so I’ll see how it goes. I also still use Olaplex.

How are you liking the k18?

I love these videos so much. They make me miss my sister!!! I wish I could see her more often, and have her do my hair lol!

[@janellebailey107]

I love this look! I'm too chicken to dye my hair though. The "curl specialist" I saw to cut my hair messed it up.

[@eveningstar06]

Can you tell us where you got that headband? It is beautiful!!!

[@veronicarodriguez4958]

There is no one close to me who has any understanding about curly hair. Beautiful Mell, Where can I come see you to get help, please?❤️

[@missidoleyes]

Could you please tell us which colors did you use as a toner?

[@RitaCotrimThe]

Pintura in Portuguese means painting, so I don't find it a fancy name. It's a pretty straight forward meaning because you are painting some strands of hair for the desire effect.

[@Roosmarijn035]

Italian and Spanish too.

[@melanieb4270]

Love your hair amanda! Is the k18 an alternative to the curlsmith bond salve or olaplex 3?

[@mimivee5494]

The curl smith and k18 are proteïne treatments. Olaplex not, but they all say bond repair… K18 has a “special” proteine patenten, curl smith uses regular proteines.

[@nickprince9119]

If you use the mist, you’d want to use a generous amount prior to any chemical service. And the mask is what you’d want to use less of because a little goes a long way. The results from this treatment are also permanent and do not wash out like Olaplex and other bond builders/ conditioning treatments. Hope that helps :)

[@majebrennan5668]

I love her hair. Will this work with henna? I've started to miss my natural strawberry blonde hair color (I didn't do anything, it just faded over the years), and I'm thinking of using henna to bring it back.

[@laurenvonlawn2971]

You should look at EVO haircare products! They have a curly hair line!
