South Florida curly girl here 🙋🏻‍♀️ all I can say is after many mistakes I no longer scrunch out my cast ! A nice hard cast holds me up for 4 days without refreshing. Usually my refresh is day 5 with minimal to no effort whatsoever 🙅🏻‍♀️

[@torisevern1644]

I'm coming to florida for 2 weeks on holiday - any products you'd recommend a curly girl from the uk to help protect my curls from the sun chlorine and sea?😅

[@bellzchellz]

@@torisevern1644 hey UK!!! First and foremost I wish you an amazing trip! I recommend styling with the fragrance free curlsmith gel (it’s a level 9 hold!!) couple this with a hair spray and you will be good to go! The cast will cassssssst !

[@bellzchellz]

@@torisevern1644 I also saw from Manes By Mell some good UV protectant products is Sun Bum - I have never used but I trust anything Mell says and recommends

[@torisevern1644]

@@bellzchellz Thank you 🥰

[@superdani64]

Thank u. I've been in broward my whole life and when I think I found the cure to my frizz... I haven't 🤣🤣

[@Absurdity101]

As a Pharmacy Student and aspiring cosmetic chemist for 8 years. You did pretty well explaining some topics that can be pretty complex. I was really happy 😁! Nice distinction with naturally versus synthetically derived UV filters, very undiscovered territory.

[@EHdez-nm5qo]

I had a photoshoot today (in South Florida) and there was rain in the forecast, so I styled with only the Ouidad stronger hold gel. We went out as soon as the storm passed and, between the heat and the rain, it was a literal sauna outside. When we finished 15 minutes later, sweat was pouring down my back and my face was burning up but not a hair out of place. There was even some cast left. That gel really is a holy grail for humidity.

[@dawnmillier]

I'm a huge fan of all the Sun Bum haircare products! Would love to see a washday routine showcasing the brand. It seems underrecognized in the curly hair community.

[@samanthadespres9061]

I just love how you read my mind and post videos about things I wanted to know about!! I live in FL, the sunshine state so this video is a must. Also totally got excited when you said twist has sun protecting ingredients, I own twist products currently due to the recommendation on your channel! New motto "the stronger the hold the better" for this summer and I promise to dry my hair before going out 🖐Always love watching your videos and love the editing with this video

[@MyLadyGodiva]

This SPF addict really appreciates this video!!!

[@agohl85]

Once when I was a teenager we were having a field day and I was in pig tail braids - burned my hair line so bad I had a scab down the middle of my head.... Definitely learned my lesson real fast and never did that again!

[@julissadc6303]

i wish i could like this veideo several times, you are hilarious

[@ManesByMell]

Omg!! Glad you enjoyed❤️❤️❤️

[@jessg.829]

Thanks from Arizona! Where it's 110 degrees today... ☀️🌵

[@emmagonzalez8185]

Yes!! This video came in perfect for the Arizonians out here 🥵🔥☀️

[@joshuaharper2624]

Just bought a UV protectant line from Umberto Giannini (its the easiest brand for me to access), UV care is really important, both for skin and hair!

[@Shelzbells]

I have very fine, porous curly hair. It is always very dry . I love hearing about new products that could maybe help my hair

[@Ola13194]

The video I’ve been waiting for!!!!!!!! Many DESIGN ME hair products also have UV and heat protection (curl cream, leave in, texture spray, even hair stray!!)

[@hubbabubba8860]

WE NEED A FENTY HAIR REVIEW PLS!

[@gray_7]

Your skin looks lovely without the fake tanner 💚 I can’t stand to think of the tanning we used to do 😢

[@ManesByMell]

Yes i know in my heart it does but I can’t help but want to look sun kissed in the summer!! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️

[@vanessaa7602]

Easiest way to protect your hair & scalp (& your skin)? Always wear a hat and/or carry a sun umbrella!

[@biancajingles2690]

Thank you Mel! I’ve always wondered about UV protection. I would love for you to do another video on the Aveda Be Curly Advanced line using it on Amanda because I have longer hair than Amanda but lower density and don’t know how to make the gel work for me! 😅

[@ali976]

Thank you so much! This is helpful! I am a salt and pepper wavy hair girlie and because i have no pigment in my hair i have to use uva/uvb protection otherwise my silver hair can burn and turn this yucky yellow color. Love all your videos but this one is my fav! 😘😘😘♥️♥️♥️

[@patriciakelly6347]

Thanks for the tip , I stopped the coloring a few years ago..

[@DannieGirl24]

I love when you're scientiffy! Thank you!

Yasss we need the sun education!!! We love Mel for being a (hair) expert, genius, and icon. Love you Mel looking beauty full as always!!! 🫶🏻💖💖☀️

[@elizabethjessmore2719]

I live in Upstate New York. This summer has been very hot and the last month has been very high in humidity. Yesterday was 82 with 86% humidity. I bought a trial size of the Ouidad stronger hold gel and I love it!

[@GloveBoxGaming]

I'm just here cause Mell is BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@r.m.h8298]

Great video! Can you make a video for super fine curly hair and hair that can’t hold moisture? Your hair is so full and even when I follow every step, I can’t seem to get the same results 😢

[@PDXKittenFace]

As a hiker I needed this. I've been wondering how to protect my hair on the trail other than an umbrella.

[@elianisvalle1792]

Love your content, your personality and all you knowledge. Thank you Mell you’re amazing I hope you have a good weekend ❤

[@FaceItGrace]

Where I live we have dry summers and humid winters. I also LOVE to swim so bring on the coconut oil for the pool!

[@christina6254]

Your results look incredible, both immediate & later! Another great video🌞from a beauty, inside and out. The outtakes never disappoint 😂

[@mayar.7249]

Thank you! I'm going on vacation soon and was wondering what kind of sun protection I'll need for my hair and scalp 😍

[@deanna5671]

Happy Texture Thursday!! I hope you had a fabulous trip!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘

[@ChynnaBlue1]

Oooh, I need to try that Sun Bum spray. I usually wind up taking a cotton bud and using that to apply SPF to the part in my hair.

[@mailtoHoffman]

I’ve had the Sun Bum scalp spray on hand for a few years and replaced it when it expired…always keep on hand and especially use on theme park days and car show days when I’m really out in it!!!!! My hair has thinned like so many others and so between being blonde and the widening part…that protection becomes more and more valuable every year! AND it smells awesome. I keep their face mist for re-application on those days as well and it smells delightfully like bananas 🍌

[@redhead0112]

Loved this video and topic as a redhead living in South Carolina! Do the UV protecting ingredients last to protect your hair until your next wash, or do you need to reapply like sunscreen?

[@CamrynCarter-wx2es]

love your channel!! you’re amazing and your hair is so gorgeous🩷🩷

Here in the Glorious South, I have already begun using the Ouidad Advanced Climate Control gel. Like you said, it is South proof (South Carolina for me, not Florida). Thanks for all these tips!!!💜

[@jessicanewburn2852]

Does anyone one know what shampoo bottle is in her shower? The purple bottle.

[@valleyval7]

Great video! I tried the Ouidad gel and it didn’t give me a cast at all! And I had to refresh sooner than when I use my Curlsmith styling soufflé.

[@King_OmChris]

Lawd you so beautiful love your energy!!!

Do u have a video or advice for someone like me who has never looked after their hair? I bought shea moisture leave in conditioner and its helping. Is there anything else i should use? My scalp be a bit dry and itchy too

[@applefarm6126]

12:56, Excellent information.

[@ElephantseatShorts]

Currently using the sunbum curl cream, which that line all has UV protection (yay!) And for MORE protection, I bought the Bumble & Bumble Heat Shield Mist. The Hair Mist doesn't specifically state it has UV protection, but the ingredients list has UV protection in it still. Ik they have the Invisible Oil Heat Protectant, but I still have my Ouai oil and I don't wanna change lol (it smells too good to give up and it just helps smooth the ends of my hair). Trying to branch out with other leave in conditioners, might check out Ouidad, although I wish more drugstore brands made UV protection a part of their stuff. (I try to keep below $20 for haircare, Ouai was my only exception until I found the Bumble Mist. Even then I got the small travel size) My job is outside and the summer sun is hitting, so that's why I was extra and got the spray. I get my ingredient info from incidecoder, it's a neat lil website. I used EWG or EGW, whatever it was but it's just a lot lol

[@nancymcdermott880]

You are a treasure!!💗💗

[@laurasmith-brese2729]

Mell - I recently saw tik toks mentioning hair being Irish curly and I got to say that resonated with me! Any tips for those of us with Irish curls?

[@tracygeorge6994]

I have a great day 1, then I wake up on day 2 and it all seems to go away. Do I need a stronger hold gel? But worried about the crunch in day 1.

[@cyrenacorrell6401]

[@jenna3362]

Are there any uv protectors that dont have protein? My hair is super protein sensitive!

[@Adayinthislifebycrystal]

Let's say I watched this video 1 week too late. Just returned from a trip to a resort in Jamaica. Lots of sun. Salt water. And chlorine water. What do you recommend to repair?

[@suttondawnmariemazar4680]

This has nothing to do with this very helpful video but which is your favorite hair mister?

[@RazzMojo]

They sell UV sprays for hair I want to try but I wash my hair 1-2 times a week. Are we supposed to wash it at night?

[@angieb9076]

THIS!!! I live at altitude (almost 2 miles closer to the sun) and have noticed sun damage. I use a heat protectant with spf, but only on washday. My question is how long does the spf protection last? What can I use/do on non wash days?

[@Equine_Cam]

Hi Mell! I'm a curly girl who due to my health and schedule showers and washes/styles my hair at night. it is not feasible for me to do it in the morning. could you do a video about styling at night?

[@kategraham6792]

Hi from Australia, I'm taking notes for summer hehe! I have a question.... I have hair that is half way down my back. My hair line has 3b curls but the rest usually looks wavy like a 2b. After straying from cgm after 2 1/2 years thanks to your wonderful guidence. I have done 2 washes and have these rope looking curls mixed in with the waves- botticelli curls I believe? What are they? Is it like a transition curl? And will a layered cut be best for them? (I'm still binge watching your channel so im not sure if you have a video about them or not yet)

[@DeepThought42]

I don't suppose you know of a fragrance free alternative to the Sun Bum Scalp Hair mist?

[@MG-vd5lu]

Yesss scientiffy mellll

[@willashley23]

ok so can lighten my level 5 hair by any noticable amount by sitting in a sunny window?

[@itsamandapasceri]

☀️☀️🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@debbiehartwell8465]

Does your hair have layers. Can you do a video on to layer or not?

[@amparocaraveo6324]

Can you make a video talking about why hair gets matted. It seems like the bottom back of my hair gets matted quickly for some weird reason..i sleep on a satin pillowcase... Maybe its the products? Maybe i need protein to seal my porous hair? Im high porosity my hair is about 2C/3A fine-med im from south texas 100°+ temps .. 😑

[@danielleball7684]

Is there one without proteins for low porosity

[@user-dt5zg4bg4p]

I know this has nothing to do with the video. But what are some light products for more volume at the root?

[@user-dt5zg4bg4p]

And how should I apply those products? By the way, I have 2c-3a hair.

[@ramolapradyot9554]

Just wanted to ask u - I had wavy hair more towards the straighter side a few years back I got them pre lightened and post that my hair became curly. Now again I got my hair pre lightened for balayage after a gap of 3yrs or so my hair texture has changed- it has become wavy . Is this change going to permanent or will my curls comes back

[@claudiaochoa5880]

[@juanitarodriguez2161]

Great advice as usual! Especially for this Florida woman who JUST dyed her hair darker. However, please consider bleeping out the foul language or deleting altogether. You both are beautiful and it takes away from your content and natural beauty. You speak eloquently throughout the video and then *pow* those ugly words. Thank you.

[@471444a]

Who asked 😂

[@omgdrummer]

Some of us enjoy the frankness in the language 😂

[@tamaralarson7615]

I’m a fellow Florida girl and I find the “potty mouth” parts of her video hilarious. Please don’t take this as sarcasm, @juanitarodriguez2161, as that is not at all how I’m intending this to sound. Mell usually “cuts loose” in the bloopers at the end of her videos, so if her language offends you, maybe stop the video when you get to the very start of the bloopers. Because she keeps her videos clean up until that point. So, to be able to enjoy her tremendous amount of curly girl knowledge, just enjoy her videos up to where the blooper reel begins. When the blooper reel starts, either mute it or stop watching there. For me, I live for the bloopers! And I can’t get to the bloopers fast enough! That’s such a cute way to end her videos and blooper reels are something no one else I follow on KZbin does. I enjoy seeing Mell uncensored. 😊

[@shrug8690]

😂 she’s A GODDESS beyond words and “eloquent propriety” that YOU SEEK. How about just say you appreciate her information rather than trying to change people and the way THEY LIVE and speak. Take it up with God, if “potty” words ruin your day so much.

[@NeihaXo]

If this is bad to you, you would not survive a day in Australia 😂
