[@tuttyfat]

Mell, I enjoy your collaborations so much. I have super fine, high porosity, thick, short wavy hair so I would love to see a someone with hair like mine. It seems all of the hair videos are with long hair which is easier to style than short (above the shoulders) hair. Or at least that's the case when I had longer hair vs short hair. Unfortunately, since my hair is so fine it doesn't look thick..ugh. I've also noticed every hair video is dealing with dry hair or ends. My hair is healthy and not dry so creams and leave-ins are usually too heavy causing my waves to straighten. But I need a leave-in to keep it healthy. I prefer healthy hair over nice looking hair but to have both would be nice too. Please, pretty please with a 🍒 on top do a collab with someone with similar hair to mine! 😘

[@CassandraBankson]

MELL TOUCHED MY SPAGHETTT AND NOW IT LOOKS SO NICE!!! Mell, I cannot thank you and your sister enough for making this collaboration happened! I have wanted to do this for so long, and didn’t realize how terrible I have been treating my girls for so long. Thank you so much for your insights, for your hairy fairy godmother wisdom, and for helping me embrace my natural hair! My waves are so appreciative, and I can’t wait to share updates with you and everyone else… I also can’t wait to dive into your skin care routine! From the bottom of my heart, and the papilla of the hair follicles that are embedded into my scalp, thank you so much for your insights, wisdom, and sharing these amazing products and techniques with me! ❤️

[@AlizMari23]

Not me getting emotional at Cass's heartfelt thank you. Now we just need you guys to meet in person and you give them facials and they do your hair!

In a recent video that you (Cassandra) posted I was thinking to myself "wow her curls look amazing. I hope she finally collaborated with Mane's by Mell". And here you are!! I am so excited for this video!! 😍

[@ManesByMell]

Cassandra!! STAHP🥹 (but don’t stop here!) I’m so grateful for your initial trust in me, but most importantly this new friendship! There is no better time to start taking your skincare AND haircare more seriously. Thank you for being so real, sharing your struggles and for being such a wonderful guest, you are already helping so many others who are struggling to embrace their hair like you were. I can’t wait to see your progress and for Curly Cassandra to continue thriving!!! 💖💖🫶🏻 THANK YOU!

[@ginnyp6689]

@Cassandra Bankson When you said “Rat’s Nest” my eyes teared up. I am probably more than twice your age, and as a kid in the 60’s I was repeatedly told my hair looked like a “rat’s nest” and if I would just brush it or wash it more it would smooth & straighten out. I thought that phrase had died out with the invention of blow dryers & styling cream & big 80’s hair. I’m sorry you had to hear it as a kid. Of course your beautiful smile & infectious laugh tells me you have long since gotten over it! I’ve been watching Mel almost since the beginning and I have shown her to every stylist that has touched my hair for years. She helped me love my hair, and I really hope the two of you will do a video update so we can see how your hair is doing & what Mel suggests as your hair gets used to this new routine.

[@brookb5890]

Yes! I've been dealing with it for years and actually figuring out how to manage it without a topical steroid is part of my journey of discovering I actually have wavy/curly hair lol I've never used VERB products before, but if anyone is looking for a cheaper option, I cleanse my scalp with a concoction using Dr. Broner's tea tree oil castile soap and then apply aloe to my scalp and hair while it's still soaking wet. And every night I dampen my scalp and hair and apply more aloe until I need to wash. To help with irritation I add two drops of peppermint oil and a few drops of rosemary and a couple drops of lavender to kind of balance out the scent. The oils can be expensive, but I find they last a long time, so I can plan to buy them beforehand.

[@megleland6320]

@@lauralvw8445 Yes, wavy hair is not an insult! Just another kind of beautiful. There are some wonderful advantages to this type of hair too. Much faster drying and blowouts last forever, but unlike mostly-strait hair, it will actually hold a curl brilliantly when styled in rollers or a wet-set. It is kind of the best of both worlds in a way. You just need to know how to work with what you got.

[@samtae6217]

@@megleland6320 my hair is wavy and takes a whole day to dry and there are lots of people with wavy hair that experience that. It's about porosity, not curl pattern... Tbh I feel like it's the worst of both worlds because it gets frizzy very quickly (unlike straight hair) but is also easily weighed down (unlike curlier hair) and it doesn't even have the volume and definition people with curlier hair can have.

[@catienoble3191]

Ok but when Cassandra talked about being told by a hair stylist who knows nothing about curly hair to BRUSH IT OUT and then put some EXPENSIVE OIL on it, she unlocked some memories from when I was like 11/12 and brushing my hair out with a boar bristle brush every morning and then coating just the top of it with ~~Exquisite Oil~~

[@TheBaumcm]

I’m adopted and I felt that when Cassandra said her family couldn’t help her. I was told so many times to brush my hair which would make it look worse, not better, or back in the day, super heavy products were all that was available. So thankful for people like Mell. Side note: most of my family had slightly wavy which has gone full curly as they aged so now they have to ask me what to do. So tempted to tell them to just brush it😂

[@SIP123abc]

Go for it !

[@JBUHJBUH]

I'm not even adopted and I got told the same thing by my mother - who has the exact same hair as me (wavy but with ringlets at the ends), lol! Chaotic Neutral votes that you tell them the exact same thing they told you.

[@pixalu]

Same same..I am the only curly haired person. (Not adopted, but it is from my great grandfather and a male cousin has it too) Always told to brush my hair. Ugh sure if I want a ton of frizz. Mel's ribbon technique is awesome. I lose some of the tightness of my curl but to have frizz free ever. Game changing. Products are so much better since the 80's too. Thank God

[@tianamarie989]

How do you guys expect people (regular-not stylist) to know what to tell you to do with your hair when they don't even know?? I'm really curious. I'm also curious why everyone today thinks "eye for an eye" is ok.

[@lolofunslayer4953]

Cassandra’s hair looks like how my hair looked before I knew how to do it. There are beautiful curls hiding there! It looked so good at the end, but I think it’ll look even better if she keeps it up!

[@abbi5759]

Since watching Mel’s scalp care video a long time ago, I do not have issues with my seborrheic dermatitis any more. I searched online for years (like 10 years) and tried so many things some even made it worse. Dermatologist visits with not much change. What I’ve learned from Mel has worked: never sleep with wet hair. Use a clarifying shampoo, nyasol shampoo sometimes, and always diffuse until my scalp is dry, exfoliate with a treatment or even a brush in the shower with conditioned hair. And most of all curly girl method ain’t the best for everybody….and definitely not for a scalp with seborrheic dermatitis!!!

[@kwf92]

Is nyasol = nizoral?

[@dirtclassy]

Yes, Cassandra, I knew your curls would be beautiful with Mel’s process helping them the way you help with skin! You two have both helped transform me over the past few years. Absolutely want to see more collabs, Mel!!

[@lohofa]

The MOST important advice you gave Cassandra regarding her scalp is never sleep with wet hair and NO conditioner or styling products at the scalp. My doctor actually believe that I got seborrheic dermatitis was from sleeping with wet hair (I was a night shower).

[@mj-kawai]

This!

[@AlizMari23]

You can still do your hair at night, just diffuse it and then in the morning, you only have refresh and go!

[@buddyholly4672]

Oh man i go to bed with damp hair all the time. Will have to start blow drying on cool

[@emmagatewood3898]

It's so interesting how different everyone's hair + skin is. I like to shower at night and honestly my curls look their best the morning after washing the night before, and sleeping in damp hair. Never had any issues with dandruff or anything like that. Everyone is different tho, what works for one might not work for another.

[@TheBaumcm]

That’s why I wash and put in a light moisture supply and let it dry completely and then style in the morning and diffuse. It has definitely helped.

[@simplyjess9689]

omg when Cassandra told her experience about Supercuts & how they just told her to brush & use some oil....brings me back to when they would say the same to me & how my cuts would always be uneven bc no one ever thought of the spring factor thats comes with curly hair!!

[@kiimheaslip]

This is very helpful to see the rawness of ‘real’ people learning. Please do lots more of these. I have a super coily dry top layer and a softer wave sub layer. A demo of stying this would be great! I’ve learned so much already but just can’t seem to perfect the process.

@@tuttyfat Since I originally commented, I've started using K18. I have similar type of hair as yours, but average density. The K18 is a little pricey, but it's the only leave-in I use now (and I don't have to heat style my hair), and it doesn't take very much. It leaves my hair feeling fuller, bouncier, and the curls more defined, so for me I feel like it's worth it

I also grew up straightening my curls bc I never knew how to make them look good, but after learning about the curly girl method and finding people like mel on youtube to help with styling it has been such a game changer! Being stuck at home through covid gave me the time at home to experiment and learn what my curls like and dont like and how to style them properly. It's still kind of an experiment every time, but a fun one and has been SUCH a game changer to embrace my natural texture vs fighting it every day.

[@TheWawa85]

This is the best collab I’ve ever watched! I’m so glad I searched for wavy hair gel in the search bar and this came up as the second result. I got told by many hairdressers over the years that because my hair was wavy it would always be frizzy and not once did I have a hairdresser tell me how to look after my waves so I brushed my hair multiple times a day, blow dried it and straightened it often because I hated the fluffiness and the waves never sitting nicely. Then I started doing the wavy girl method about 9-10 months ago but wasn’t having much luck at first until I got a curly cut done by my local hairdresser who happens to be a curly specialist. I was just using a curl cream from the supermarket until that point. Afterwards I got a better quality curl cream (Moroccanoil curl Definer) and Moroccanoil Curl defining mousse but didn’t try the mousse until a few weeks ago. Had been struggling to do refreshes with the mousse as I find I end up a sticky oily mess the next day so put my big girl pants on and brought a gel. Today is the first time I’ve done my full routine with a gel and I’m hoping the results are better 😊.

Because of it, I have to shampoo more often than most curlies say to. I appreciate the honesty of having a scalp condition because I also have been self-conscious about the appearance of my scalp, being red, bleeding, dry, and even some thinning of hair. Oy vay!

Yasss girls pls give us more collabs! Been waiting for this video for a while! You are both our fairy godmothers saving our skin and our hair! 🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️❤️

This was crazy helpful, even for someone like me, with only slightly wavy hair, who just wants to learn how to let it air dry without looking like a crazy person. (I cannot use a diffuser for the life of me. Everything gets frizzy. I don't know.) Just the little tips you included like wetting the brush to tame some frizz, SECTIONING HAIR when you try to use a brush to "ribbon" the hair... I'm just astounded by what I learned, just as a casual viewer. Also, I appreciate that you're Canadian, because I rarely find products recommended by Americans... I'd love a video on some cheap wavy hair products! You're such a fantastic teacher, so patient and thorough!

This was the collaboration I didn’t know I needed ❤️

I loooved this video! Watching someone new to the process walk through the steps was wildly informative, and gave me some ideas of what products I could add to my routine or replace my current ones with! Thank you again for helping us wavies!

I'm fan-girl geeking out right now. I love watching both of you and learning so much from each of you. But to have you do a colab is blowing my mind. Also, Cassandra, I know you are vegan... but my skin- A-L-L OF IT- cleared up so much when I did an elimination diet to identify foods that my body doesn't like. And then stopped ingesting those things. Gurl. My face, my back, my cleavage, my scalp- the cysts only happen like maybe once a year. And the scalp cheese- gone. You two are amazing. Keep being awesome and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

The colander drying was HILARIOUS!😂🤣😅

[@saraheby3996]

[@amyn5786]

Gorgeous!!!!! Please do an Update video after a couple weeks of doing the routine Mel has fabulously taught you and myself 😉

[@Rebecca-bz6ph]

I love that you guys collaborated! I didn’t even ask for this and the universe delivered.

Over the last year, I developed a scalp condition (nobody knows what it is still medically woohoo), but I had to stop blow drying my super thin, super fine hair and air-dry instead. All of a sudden I now have waves with no product. They don't last long because my hair is so fine and fly-away damaged. I am sure I would start get somewhere in the 2a-2c range if I could style my hair properly. Unfortunately, I seem to have an immune reaction to most styling products (my face gets oily and my eyes tear continuously). If I could find a product that I could use in my hair, I would love to try this routine and embrace my new waves. I love how instructive and informative Mel was! There are a lot of women who are discovering waves or curls in their hair as they age (probably due to hormonal changes), and others have been really rude about "gatekeeping waves/curls." (lol why?!) I am going to keep this video for reference so I can try when I find a product that works!

Wow! What a beautiful difference!!

[@dirtclassy]

I’m living for this video rn, just started it, but yessss!!! Mel and Cassandra 😍😭🤩

[@spinninglovelies314]

I have so many of these same problems. I honestly just let my hair do its own thing. I finally feel like I could style my own hair and get a decent result.

[@anitawallace2166]

This was so much fun to watch. I’ve been following Mell for a few years and Cassandra a few weeks. I loved the enthusiasm she showed learning from an expert. Great video!

[@trina9301]

Mell, I think this is your best video because you are walking Cassandra through the process with split screen and providing products for her hair type and beach lifestyle in the sun and water. Doing videos like this with people in different climates and weather conditions is informative. Thank you. Good Job!

[@nikkiturner8431]

Yayyyy finally !! My 2 favourite KZbin creators collaborating! How exciting! I've always known your hair had so much potential Cassandra 🥰👌👌

[@gigil8528]

this is the first video i have ever seen from this channel and i immediately subscribed to both accounts cause y’all have amazing energies and thank u mel for all the tips for wavy hair cause i feel like it’s hard to find tips on low prosity wavy hair and there’s not a lot of proctucts that are water based and meant for fine wavy hair so i’m definitely purchasing the products u recommended

[@paulinaleza8953]

Yes, please do more videos Collabs with her for us wavy girls 👏👏👏
