CURLY HAIR STYLING MISTAKES TO AVOID IN THE WINTER + SOLUTIONS

[@ManesByMell]

That's a wrap on the premiere! Thank you so much to everyone who joined me live, I had a ton of fun chatting with you guys. I hope I answered your questions and if I couldn't get to it this time, stay tuned for the next video

[@ellenhenao9740]

Do you actually get out of your house without a bonnet? That's my biggest problem right now 😔

[@sarahkhaled7571]

Please can u make a video about your day in your hair salon

[@anitad4408]

Hey Mell, Can I come to you for my haircut?! Please!!!??????🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I need a haircut like yesterday but am holding out (&praying) to get you to cut it lol. In Toronto.

[@anitad4408]

S'il te plaît!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@amberfrazier5586]

Doesn't curlsmith have glycerine in it tho?

[@mylyfeizdance]

"I don't like to be funny when it comes to wasting product...I'm still gonna use it." That's right girl we ain't 👏🏼 about 👏🏼 wasting 👏🏼 money👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@stephaniesantos78]

y'all BETTER like this video for the sheer amount of effort it probably took to film this script TWICE and spend two days showing the dos and don'ts for this video

[@ManesByMell]

And can’t forget the hours of editing for my seester haha it’s all good it’s what we here for!! Thanks for appreciating it doe 👏🏼❤️

[@whatoncewas8480]

Right! 👏🏾

[@Lea-eh4oz]

Whoever loves Mel thumbs up!!!

[@TriciaGrace]

Lea I do! I do!

[@susanbeckius3556]

I wish you could release your own product line that is categorized for us. Like winter line, spring line, summer line, autumn line or define it by climate. I feel like every time I try to pick the right products for the climate I miss something and wind up with the wrong type of product. Mind you this is totally user error on my part due to being too lazy to double check ingredient lists. Aside from that how freaking beautiful are you and your family!!? Y'all's skin is like porcelain. Sooooooo jealous. Thank you for all the work you guys put into these videos to help us!

[@divinecloud9585]

When she said "just shave it all" on the dont side, I felt that.

[@Dasgaden]

I love this winter series. I’m learning so much about my hair and curls. Thank you for taking your time teaching us. :)

[@ManesByMell]

I am so pleased to hear that! More info coming your way, stay tuned!

[@brooklynsbaby4367]

I LOVE THE FRIZZY HAIR THO IT'S A LOOK

[@brooklynsbaby4367]

it's not even frizzy in my opinion, it has so much volume and just the right amount of definition and beautiful shape, and it looks so messy and free in a good way. Ugh. im just in love with it

[@Katatawnic]

Yeah, I wish I could have a "bad" hair day like hers! 😂

[@melabaheta1528]

Her hair looks good no matter what she does!!

[@rachelm.3173]

Right! It's still cute!

[@andreaplummer3841]

You have taught me more about my hair than anyone ever. None of the women in my family have hair like mine. Came from the men. So, watching you has saved my hair! Thank you!

[@yasminafoale6429]

I looooove that you actually went through the pain of doing it wrong on your own hair on purpose in order to help us. Great tip with no air drying out in the cold. I always did it and wondered why did it end up frizzy! But I must say that I tried both diffusing carefully and air drying in my house and I prefer the second because it always comes out more defined and less frizzy. Is there anyone out there whose hair looks nicer by air drying? I feel alone in this.

[@nadineobrien2095]

I can't blow dry my hair unless it's cut short. Always frizzes up!

[@adrienneguerra6424]

🙋🏽‍♀️ definitely like my air dryed results better than diffusing

[@nunyabiznizz5619]

Diffusing makes my hair frizz soooo badly.

[@andreaceleste2664]

Watch her how to diffuse video. It changed my life

[@rachelm.3173]

Air dry only. Diffusing causes my hair to be dry and frizzy.

[@laurenelizabeth5991]

I’m 10 months into my natural curly hair journey and since discovering you and your channel, my hair has transformed!! It’s not perfect by any means but following your routines and tips have made such a big difference to the way that I look after my hair and that is showing in how much curlier my hair is getting . Thank you ❤️

[@havoney]

Girl I don’t even have curly hair I have just some wave, but I still watch your videos because you are so funny and entertaining also I love watching curly girls do their hair 😂

[@steffers841]

Me too I have like 2A, 2B waves and still love her videos!! if you want someone with wavy hair I just literally binge watched ALL of her videos watch Courtney! kzbin.infovideos

[@sharkitty]

I tried the Denman brush last wash day and I was impressed! I've also increased the amount of product while styling and my curls came out super hydrated. Long live AG's Fast Food Conditioner!

[@kianaabsract]

Honestly the best curly hair channel I’ve found you saved my curls. I found by accident recently on IG your do’s and don’t of a wash and go I wish I can show the difference because it’s literally amazing. I’ve never got so many compliments on my curls before.

[@curlydash4993]

I’m so happy for this series because I’m in Germany now and it’s not getting any warmer, actually it’s getting freakin colder

[@lindavoedisch2352]

I also live in Germany. Also buying curly hair products is a struggle here.

[@lubiahale3565]

Same sis

[@curlydash4993]

linda voedisch I know how you feeI can’t find anything here

[@aliciaaicila1000]

It is the same here in the Netherlands. I can’t find the right products

[@curlydash4993]

Fiona G thank you so much I will definitely try this line

[@amberabbott-farr4904]

LOVING the cold durl series! So incredibly helpful for where I live! Winter came sooner than expected and she came in harsh! This series and all your other videos are always so helpful and super fun to watch! Thank you as always for your time and dedication to Texture Tuesday!

[@WarrenDobbins]

Thank's for the videos Mell, I'm not a curly girl but I'm a curly guy trying to make my way in this curly world. Keep up the good work!

[@kaitlencoburn9118]

PLEASE grace us with some make-up tutorials!! You and your sister's make-up is always on point, and I need to know HOW to accomplish your looks! xo

[@jc7blessed]

I can confirm day 3 texture tuesday is just as good as the premerie. And seriously she could simply sit infront the camera and give these helpful tips but the commitment she puts into these vids outfit changes, sketches, demonstrations, video editing, and I could only imagine all the bts prep it really is a small production 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 In the words of the legendary Martin, " you go girl."

[@taniagarrigo-meza744]

I discovered your channel two weeks ago and my hair has never looked better during the winter! Thank you thank you!!!

[@ManesByMell]

So happy to read this!! Welcome and thank u❤️❤️

[@polly2900]

Hi Mell, how about a video on thin fine hair and one on hair that is changing from your natural color to gray but isn't totally gray yet.

[@itz_mia3219]

ahh you are a life saver not in just this video but in many others i’ve been trying to get my hair to work out and no matter what videos i watched or how many wash and go’ i’ve tried none have seemed to work and now i have these videos to guide me thank you and now i can get on the road to appreciating my hair more😭

[@crochetaddict8631]

Best 👏 video 👏 so 👏 far👏. I respect those that actually commit to bad hair days in order to demonstrate the results. I love this video. Great editing, great content, great humor and fabulous hair! Even though you ripped that top, may I say it looks SO good on you! With that makeup and went to well with your hair color. I might have grown a girl crush here...

[@kelseymysz1]

SO. MUCH. INFORMATION!!! I love it, thank you! When can we start hiring you for house-calls?? hahaha. I feel like I could use a week with you to absorb all this info and figure out my hair!

[@the.curly.mermaid]

Same same SAME!!!

[@imariwilliams6625]

Just started following you! Thanks for the content. Did a big chop. Like bald bald. Growing my hair out currently. PLEASE bring someone on with awkwardly short curly hair so you can teach us different styles or maybe how to cut it so it’s not so awkward. Really wanna grow it out but keep cutting it cuz I don’t wanna be UGLY!

[@raziel1687]

Can you come out with some "Don't do Dat!" Merch!? 💖😆🤩 I would wear it forever!

[@the.curly.mermaid]

Oh my word! YAAASS!!! It made me laugh so much when she said that😂😂😂

[@cherylbglover]

Yes!

[@kirstenslingers3284]

Ive been really struggling recently with my hair. Couldn't understand why my products weren't working. Went to check out the ingredient.... Friggin GLYCERIN. which is sad cos I just spent a bundle on products and I live in Japan so you KNOW the struggle is REAL. Thank you so much for you well informed videos!

[@tauvao_]

I have thick Polynesian curls and I never knew how to style it or embrace my curls. So I'm always straightening it. But after watching your vids girl, I'm a try everything you did LOL thanks Mell. Love your vids. You are Beautiful and funny!!! Much love all the way from Sydney, sas!

[@tess6047]

Her eye makeup with her eye color 😍😍😍

[@Gr8tfulSissy]

I only recently found your videos and I want to tell you that I am enjoying this, A LOT. I've spent a lifetime straightening my natural blonde frizzy hair. 2 years ago, I got on the CG bandwagon and walked around with drippy wet shlop head. I gave up when, after a few months of that crap, my Hubs looked at me in church and said, what the hell is wrong with your hair, lately.....!!!?? So, back to the blow dry and straightened hair. I don't know how, but I found your adorable self and your Seester last week. I gave it another shot, buying all the crap you bought and using the brush and the wet goofy brush and bonnet, oh man, the comments about the bonnet... It has worked. I got the diffuser I got the Goop hop conditioner and the finishing spray. Following your common sense approach I got the strands of GLORY!!!! So.... Ok, thanks for that, ok? Now, I'm a 56 year old woman, raised our kids and do good things. I'm not a weirdo. OK, so I was startled by your emotional video the other day. I am here to add my 2¢, with my motivation being to make you feel good about where you are at. What you are struggling with,, is work life balance. You are grateful and you are afraid of sounding like a diva. You should be proud of yourself. You have a good head on your shoulders. Do not struggle with yourself, girl. Always follow your inner voice. Lean on your support system and take care of yourself. Your emotion comes from a place of confusion, after all, isn't this what you wanted, right?? Right. Just not at all costs. Don't lose yourself in the process of becoming a big shot. BTW, I am a nice Christian lady with a smart mouth BUT!I live in a very warm place. I got a big house and you and Seester can come and stay with us and make a video and be goofy in a safe place. Let me know when you are coming and bring that fancy shmancy blow drier with ya, ok!? Ok. Now, let's get to it!!!!

[@carissad7724]

Mel my hair gets SOOOOOOOOOOOO messed up after the gym i need a video on how to refresh after a sweaty workout!!

[@florianebonnegent2664]

Same here:)

[@absloutelyRasha]

My first curly winter! I appreciate the do and don’t.

[@anniehull9281]

I don’t even have curly hair but I love you and your channel. Love your personality and have friend with curly hair so I always share your tips and tricks with her. ❤️

[@apukapak5574]

thank you so much mell! i will be applying your advice to my next wash and go and fingers crossed it works because the moment i figured out my routine to perfection, weather changed drastically and now my hair is a dry frizzy mess and i'm so confused. your videos are always so informative and entertaining at the same time - perfect for cold cloudy winter days! thank you for your and amanda's amazing work:) all the love:)

[@viole_bolomey]

God, all my school years waiting for the bus at 7:30 am with my wet hair in winter! Well, at least now I learned and will take much more care of my curls. Thank you Mell for all your advice, LOVE YA❤

[@lm5814]

Hi Mell! Loved this video. Thank you so much! My curls are so much better in the winter months than the summer. The humidity is NOT my friend. I tried a lot of products, routines and it frizzes all the time.

[@janellebailey107]

I do not live in a cold environment so I dont need to worry about the cold weather but I have loved watching this series. :)

[@Onz.m]

my hair always been good but never the same since I started seeing your videos, it became magical! still working my way through it and finding my right rhythm but still thank you! You are the only one I watched for curly hair walkthrough who actually I learned from and benefitted from.

[@lilliegranados4532]

It's like watching a personal shame video!! I'm doing most of the DON'T DO!! *takes notes*

[@kapparhotau181]

Even though her hair is not even close to my type her videos are very helpful. She has a great video on how to get more volume on hair with the right routine. It was like not in day for me when I tried it, as my hair is thin. I was weighting it down with heavy creamy products and combing my hair down instead of outward. I adjusted my routine and it helped a great deal.

[@joquendo151]

Thank you, I learned so much from this video. Especially the whole avoiding humectants in the winter and not using the same routine I was doing in the summer. I had no idea! Can’t wait to try these tips!

[@jennadyan]

I’m addicted to the shea moisture JBCO shampoo. I swear by it and used it majority of my journey. It made a huge difference to my curls and I think it actually grew my hair. I haven’t found any other swear-by favorites except the weightless air dry cream by curlsmith. Which shocks me because they say it’s light and my thick coarse hair loves it.

[@raizelc1014]

Dang! This was helpful as hell! I just moved to a cold climate and never had to do my curl routine in this. Pray that I get through with healthy hair

[@stuckinthelazycorneragain4016]

Whoa you are stunning! That top with the makeup (i think it’s good) is just wow. Thank you for your sacrifice Mell we appreciate you doing all of this for us 🙏🏼❤️

[@ELIZABETHTORRES-em3kx]

You have save my life. No more bad hair days for me. My blessings 🙏🙏🙏Im so happy! 😊😊All the advises were so useful

[@DarkSilum09]

I'm rather new to trying to take care of my curly hair. This is my first winter. I followed the tips in this video and I can actually run my fingers through my dry hair!! That prepoo step made my wash day go so much better. :) Thank you seesters for all the videos you post.

[@sandrafossella160]

Everything you have recommended has helped my hair so much! I trust you with my life now

[@jesmartinez6948]

Thank you so much for taking the time making these winter videos. Learning so much. 💜💜

[@suzidange4276]

What are all the products you use on your hair? And your video are a great help, boosts my confidence so much!

[@stargwynn1]

You are so incredibly entertaining to watch. You make hair care so fun

[@hanan2303]

Amazing video! I don't know what I would do without you ! Thank you again Mell

[@VeronicaESoto]

Girl..you look more beautiful with that whole look today! I love it! Thanks for all the advices 👍🏼.

[@shonidoyle1059]

Your wash day hair is honestly my goal! I'm at the very beginning of my journey to love my hair again and I'm binge watching all your videos and trying to learn. At the moment my curls are not very spiraly like they were because I've straightened the heck out of my hair for the last few years but I'm really really determined to keep those straighteners packed away and get my hair in the best condition. Loving your videos and your funny personality makes it so happy to learn and watch 💜 currently sat here with crispy curls but we will get there in the end 🤣💜

[@LexiiLove]

Everytime you said “DONT....” I was ready for you to say “DONT......drop that dun dun dun” 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@KimberlyRuby]

Lexii Love next time she does a “do vs don’t” she NEEDS to add that edit 😂

[@LexiiLove]

Kimberly Ruby Colon oh I hope she does!

[@ManesByMell]

i completely forgot about that song until just now. NOW TWERKING and noting that for the next one😂

[@LexiiLove]

[@OLPTetJ5]

Mell, you are stunning! I love your videos. I would love to see a make-up tutorial for the look you did in this video! :D

[@flovanbo]

Because of you I changed my gel to glycerin free for winter. Yesss my curls look better thanks Mel.

[@stukjevlaai]

If you live in the Netherlands or Germany or anywhere with an Action store nearby, they sell a really good, super cheap gel that is CG and doesn’t attract moisture! My hairdresser told me to get one for the wintertime and it works amazing. It’s the Salon Max Power styling gel. It’s just €1,39 :)

[@foreverspinelli1834]

Omg I love how you used the product from the floor hahahaha you a real one!

[@lizmoore852]

If our hair is SUPER easily weighed down, is it better to use a leave in or just leave IN some of the conditioner as you described? I don’t think my hair could handle both and still not be weighed down. And should you still condition of you co wash?

[@MissZombunnie]

Would you please do a video for the UK girls? I can't get your products in the UK and would love to know what youd recommend that we can get! Also would love if you did a video for gym girls and how to keep your hair looking nice! ♥️

[@aliciaaicila1000]

The same here in the Netherlands. Can’t find any good products

[@MissZombunnie]

It's such a shame because I adore her hair but I just get so overwhelmed trying to find products that I should and shouldn't be using and don't want to spend a lot of money on the wrong things!xx

[@aliciaaicila1000]

Yeah, I feel you

[@daydream3238]

Alicia Geurts je hebt hier echt genoeg hoor. Tenminste in Rotterdam en Amsterdam wel. Er is ook een site myhairshop en je hebt daar echt alles. Gister nog Mn pakketje binnen gekregen

[@isabellevasquez7433]

You look SO GOOD with those bangs

[@Angel_Clark]

Yes!!! My hair is always more dry in the winter too! I use avocado oil as a conditioning treatment before I wash my hair!😍💖✨ 👩‍🦱

[@dianaleonoragonzaliz5354]

Hi mell. Thank you you saved my hair. Always flat roots but the tips you gave its gone.thank you.a fan from the netherlands.

[@rexhinaruci6204]

I spend 19 most informative minutes for my curls. Amazing video !

[@kristinekerr3688]

Holy crap!! Those curls are perfection!!

[@alyssarico5535]

Holy moly I need to buy all your winter hair products because you’re hair looks amazing!!!

[@Chappysmom]

Entertaining AND informative! I'm definitely taking notes for winter. I've got a question for you, though--how does graying change hair texture? My curls have definitely changed since I stopped dyeing them several years ago. (I'm not completely gray, but my hair is definitely in the Taupe family these days, not so much with the dark brown anymore!) I'm still trying to figure out what works best with my curls now that so much of my hair is gray with its different texture.

[@kblount98]

I absolutely love you! My hair's are finally getting healthy!! Love the bloopers!! ❤❤❤

[@blj1523]

Back here for year two. Little overwhelmed last year. Ready to try with my emollient products!

[@Vanessa-pv1iy]

HOLY HELL ! I didn’t even know I needed this video in my life ! Thoroughly impressed with my little knowledge on hair care. I feel a Manes by Mel marathon day approaching...

[@amara523]

You are heaven sent for us curly gals!! Thanks Mel for all the tips, Keep making these informative videos. LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@CeeFerrell]

Mell, you're fantastic! You have helped make my curl journey less frustrating. You explain things so easily for inpatient chicas like me. lol I think this year I've had the best curl year ever, thanks to you.

[@6372sarah]

Everything you say about hair makes total sense love watching your vids for tips on styling curly hair & your humour is a huge bonus you crack me up 🤣

[@sammie-1702]

I love this cold curls videos! Last Friday I washed my hair with innersense and it's Wednesday today and my hair is still like day one without refresh or anything!! This was my best wash ever😍😍

[@kelseyarias5593]

your results are BOMB!

[@juniperdovah]

I just started working at Sally and this video is so helpful for customers that have your hair type. I have pin straight hair so I never know what to offer up as helpful. Thank you for this video. I may need to take notes haha

[@alissaargo9302]

Your channel saved my curly hair! You have a subscriber for life! 🥰

[@jnelsimpson1190]

I am so SO excited to have your COLD series....My hairs are making a list of your favorite things and making notes on low glycerin.....We need to FIGHT THE FRIZZ! Minnesota.winter......

[@Maryfamouslady]

your tips have been really helpful, just by getting rid of products with glycerin I got rid of frizz. Your hair looks flawless in this video wow

[@kristentardio5573]

I look entirely like the "don't"....on the regular. And so much info, so entertaining, and so many products!! Lol moisture must stay. I'll have to play this one back. Also, I've read that some proteins are also humectants. Should protein be generally avoided so not to risk a humectant effect in winter weather?

[@ambervanharrison308]

I loved the coat, so I am sad you thrifted it!! But it looks great on you. Amanda and I have the same hair, and I need help figuring out why my hair gets so tangled/matted underneath after like day 2. SEND HELP plz :)

[@Squidneysunn]

You are absolutely beautiful and funny! Thanks for all your curl help!

[@stephaniemichelle2839]

Favorite youtuber hands down! I liked the video before I even finished watching it lol. You always make my day Mel :)

[@bananatacoshell3369]

hey, can you do a video about what you think of protective styles and if it actually protects or helps grows your hair? Or if it's even necessary to do it. Cos I don't know whether to do protective styles or leave my hair out.

[@0h0h0h0]

The striped shirt looks SO GOOD ON YOU

[@MochaxMatcha]

The back of my head always ends of a shrinkage mess whenever I wear a bonnet and loses the style. So I end up redoing my hairstyle anyway. Is that usually how it us or should I pineapple?

[@seeker15308]

Love the “Don’t do dat”s ! Thanks Mel, I’ve learned so much about my own hair and what to do with it ! And you’re so funny and entertaining! :)

[@ceecee4322]

Hi Mel. I love this video. It was extremely helpful to understand about humectants, emollients and winter styling. Mel do you still recommend the Aveda damage remedy conditioner for curly, color treated hair?

[@annea6367]

Thanks for all of the great tips! My hair is similar to Amanda's and I was wondering what's her go too for winter deep conditioning? Thanks! ☺️

[@cherylbglover]

I love winter for my hair. Here in the midwest it's cold and the air is soooo dry. No humidity at all. It's the only time I don't have to care about frizz. Though I do carry my Mothers own small bottle with me for a shot of moisturizer during the day. The dryness sucks the moisture out

[@Maryfamouslady]

I think that was the best wash and go you ever did!!

[@TriciaGrace]

I need so much HELP! So, I have been using Deva Curl and have been on my natural hair journey for a little over a year now. My hair still gets frizzy, and lately it's worse than normal. My roots get oily fast, and the rest of my hair is always dull and dry looking. Since it is time to order more products, I decided to reevaluate what's inside the stuff I have been using. After watching this video, I am wondering if one of my problems is humectants. I live in Dallas, Texas so the weather can be cold one day, and warm the next. I can leave the house when it is dry outside and then by evening, it is tornado weather, and humid and warm. I chatted with the experts and they said that all their products have humectants in them, and then I decided to look into Olaplex and chatted with them.They told me that I would need to do my own research to figure out which of their ingredients are considered humectants, and she said that all their products fight frizz. The educator on their chat line also said that some of their products had humectants and she could give me a list of the ingredients but again, it was up to me to figure out which ones were humectants. 😭 So, my hope is that my hair colorist will be able to help me, but Who knows? He's not that in to the natural hair thing. So, after he colors my grey hair, I go home with a deep conditioner that he puts in my wet hair, and then wraps in a bun .Anyway, I would appreciate any extra help, and will try to do as much research as I can. Thanks so much and I LOVE YOUR Videos and watch whenever I have time! ❤️❤️

[@TriciaGrace]

I so need answers! LOL 😆 I know your busy though 🤣

[@megancooksey]

The wrong was my day 3 hair 😂 I needed this video.

Thanks, you give the best tips for all curly hair types.

[@mortahan9680]

Hey 👋🏻 I love your videos Can you make a video of your hair with no products? Besides shampoo and conditioner. It’s really interesting seeing the deference

[@GloriaG1972]

I have hairs more similar to your Seesters, can you show us a video like this on her curls? I'm sure its the same ... but different curls different techniques, maybe?
