It just happens and you have to relearn a completely new way of styling your hair.

Best tutorial for fine curly hair … I always had flat hair then curls start at mid length and never knew why

[@Saturns48]

Putting in your products upside down also adds a lot of volume and definition bc your curls and waves can take their natural shape from roots to ends. I also do not recommend "scrunching out the crunch" trying crushing out the crunch When you "scrunch" you are taking a curl or wave and pushing it upward, but it has a gel coating, the smaller pieces that are glued down will pop out of place and create frizz. Instead, flip your hair to one side and with both hands crush your hair in between your hands, like you are grabbing your hair for a ponytail. Work your hands down your hair crushing it together. Flip your hair to the other side and do the same. You can even take your thumb and index finger creating an imaginary hair tie around your collected hair gentle pulsing your fingers down the bunch of hair crushing out the cast. This helps keep those small pieces from being pushed up and separating from the formed curl or wave. Best wishes👍

[@katw5590]

If you have time to wash your hair, then you have time to make it curly. It only takes the right products to moisturize and lock out humidity, then plop your hair in a t-shirt or cotton cloth. I use muslin that I cut a square off (36” x 36”) and plop my hair overnight. By morning it is nearly dry. I can air dry it without frizz or use the hairdryer for 5-10 minutes.

[@tanukhare6554]

I can totally relate. When we do have some time we would want to relax and take a break. This cgm method is tiring

[@jcr-studios]

I always found my curly hair was a blessing and took far less time to maintain as a busy mom. If you don’t need to wash your hair every day, you could extend your curls from one day to the next using dry shampoo. Curly hair is naturally much drier so washing hair and drying daily can be tough on our hair. Just a thought. Oh and use satin pillowcases to keep the curls looking good overnight.

An alternative to using a curling iron on the looser sections is to finger coil then scrunch them before drying.

I am trying that herringbone pattern! I didn’t realize had curly hair until my 50’s. SMH. I have been using a hair bonnet dryer. Yes I bought on. You get the wetness out, (product already applied), clip around your part, connect bonnet to your hair dryer and then gently put the bonnet on with my head upside down. And trust the curl gods it is getting cute and curly. The best part is I can’t mess with my hair with my hands while it dries. Thanks for sharing all this.

Yup this is me. Mid 50’s and just realizing I don’t have straight frizzy hair, but wavy! I have almost shoulder length 2A/B waves, fine, medium density. One thing I’m really struggling with is how to refresh day 2 and 3 hair without fully re-wetting and restyling (which takes just as long as styling on wash day). I’ve tried protective styles overnight (scarf, bonnet, half pineapple, Medusa clipping), but everything stretches the waves, it gets flattened and wonky looking. Any suggestions?

I have your exact hair type. Fine but curly if treated properly. As you described, for years I didn't realize just how curly my hair was until a hair dresser pointed it out and started me down the path of finding techniques for bringing out the curl. It was such a fun discovery! But, as you mentioned, curly hair can get dry, which makes it prone to breakage and because my hair is fine, it is more delicate. I am only now realizing that the reason I might be having trouble getting my hair to grow out longer is because it is breaking! ONLY NOW looking into doing hair masks and trying to find the right products. I haven't had long hair in a while. I was cutting it short for years (quite short) but decided to change it up and found it didn't seem to grow to length very quickly. Now there is hope. Thanks!!!

You are giving me freedom to use heat again. So beautiful- thank you!

[@sewandembmom12]

Looks great! I was in the hospital for 11 days and started losing hair. I ended up cutting it short. It is so curly and no matter what I do I can’t get the curls to go the way I want. Because of the hair loss, I am afraid to use the drier or products.

[@NiinaSKlove]

Oh my gosh! My hair is curly and I had no idea 😮 Everything hair wise falling into place…! Thank you so much for this video, very informative!

[@kerotincustomerservice6304]

Hi @Glam Girl Gabi, we can’t thank you enough for sharing this, 😍😍and you're amazing and gorgeous. 💗💗We are happy to be part of your hair journey!

[@giavonnaramirez]

I watched your video and immediately look up Mel and am now on my wavey hair journey. Thank you so much.

[@tami489]

can confirm! I have fine hair and thought it was just frizzy, then I started to use products for curly hair and boom! Hella curly now!

[@sofiiaaahhhh]

ahhhh i loved this. i have 1c hair that's fine, "straight," and really frizzy on top but wavy underneath, so this video felt like it was for me lol. watched some of mell's videos and then this showed up in my recommended to watch. i'm not much of a hot tools user, though, so i've been playing with different techniques but air drying.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Do you do a lot of chemical services to the top layer of your hair? That could be why it’s frizzy and why the bottom is more wavy. That’s the same issue I have with my curls too. I have done too much to the top (which isn’t a lot really but my fine hair can’t handle much of anything), so I’ve lost the curl pattern in my hair at the top. I just use a wand on a super low heat setting to coil them up so it looks a little better.

[@sofiiaaahhhh]

@@GlamGirlGabi oh i've bleached/dyed the crap out of it lol. i like having colorful hair, so i've just been on a journey trying to learn how to keep it as healthy and good looking as possible while i do. i may try a wand in the future if/when i'm not happy with certain wave/curl patterns- hot tools just generally scare me a bit since i know i already put my hair through a lot lol. thank you!

[@KO-xi4ov]

I just found this video as it was a recommendation and just popped up. My hair is super frizzy and fine but i have a lot of it. When my hair is wet and unbrushed, its very wavy. But if i brush a few times until dry or when dry, its straight (except the ends that wave no matter what and the damaged hair that kinks n curls cuz its shorter with less weight). Ive noticed so much more frizz this summer and nothing seems to tame it. I dont use hot tools very often either. I used to scrunch my hair a lot as a teen but its always been so long that the curls fall to waves unless its crunchy from a lot of product. This made me want to try some moisturizing curly girl products just to see if they help at all.

[@anjquilinderino6634]

I was on a strict cgm method before but it wasnt doable on a daily basis cause of my hectic work schedule and my scalp is so itchy from the build up so I try different methods to find what works for me. What I do is I shampoo my hair daily and apply hair gel on my damp hair to hold the curls and squish, thats how simple it is and i still get the same result and still get compliments on how beautiful my curls are. Also, I prefer to have a little frizz to make it look more natural

[@wildwestjanbutcher650]

I have tried heaps of these CGMs and always end up with heavy, crunchy or greasy hair that feels like it needs to be washed all over again. I find letting it dry naturally, then setting it with heated rollers (way gentler on hair than straighteners or curling irons) with just a touch of curl cream gives me the best results.

[@iluvdogs1430]

Thank you so much! Finally someone who has wavy/fine texture like mine. Great tips that I'm excited to try. I also bought the shampoo and conditioner use i also deal with thinning.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes fine wavy hair girls unite! Sometimes it’s hard for me to find tutorials online because everyone has curlier hair then me and what works for curls doesn’t always work for a fine texture wave like mine. I hope you love the shampoo and conditioner. It’s minty and delicious.

[@Babychimichannel]

Interesting. Have I have high density medium texture. My hair is hard to manage because of the density and texture combo. I'll try these tips.

[@cocoazen]

This is wonderfully informative Gabi, thank you. You and I have the same texture and wave type, although right now my hair is midback. I am super impatient and don't really ever see a hair technique through because I have so much hair and my arms get tired, but I'll take several of your tips and implement them. Especially helpful when you said that, because you don't wear your hair natural very often that your curl pattern hasn't been fully formed yet. That gives me hope that the more often we try this method the better it will look 🤍

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey Teresa! Yes the more you do this, the healthier the hair gets and the better the curls look. If you are impatient, you can do the parting technique, hover diffuse for 5-10 minute and let the rest of the hair air dry. As it is air drying, flip your head from left to right for more volume. That will give you beautiful waves with less effort. I hope I was able to help!

[@sheilaharvey1594]

I really recommend looking into onion juice on the scalp for hair growth… it helped me a lot.

[@LearnGrowChange24]

Thank you!!! I am new to wavy/curt style. And my top as SO flat and disappointing. I am def gonna try your suggestion!

[@Benice337]

Your hair looks amazing! Do you have any tips on how to sleep with curls? Do you wrap them ?

[@ysette8]

Nice to hear someone talking about hair loss. It took me a decade before I went to a dermatologist to figure out what was going on. I now realize that chronic iron and vitamin D deficiency led to me losing almost half of my hair. It’s been a 1.5+ year journey of addressing it, but I’m seeing more growth!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I feel like there is such a stigma around talking about hair loss. I'm glad you are on your journey and I hope you find a solution that works for you and makes you feel beautiful!

[@c.a.2945]

I literally tried coaching, curl gelling scrunching etc last night in a slapdash experiment for my frizzy thin hair. Woke up with a glorious is will and unstyled mane of volume. I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT.

[@konstantinasakka2429]

Good job! I will try the hair part because i have the same problem with flat roots. I love Mell too but she has a curly hair And hoover diffuse works perfect. I hoover only at the beginning. If my hair starts to dry it scranch with the diffuse otherwise i loose curls.(try to find a video with Mell And Amanda for styling. Amanda does the same). And when my hair is dry about 50% i use smasters tecnique. I wet my hands And i put a little of creme or gel And apply with praying hands And then continue diffusing. Magic! Product on damp hair makes more curls.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

These are great tips! I’ve never tried to do the praying damp hands technique before. That’s so cool. There’s so much information about curls and waves online. It’s overwhelming. I need to play a lot more with it because I always blow by hair out straight. I wear it wavy 1/100 times.

[@dilberta6046]

I look at ways to try and cope with my wavy hair and they are more work and trouble than simply flatironing it. So I do once a week and for two days I love my hair and don’t feel like a frump.

[@julielilliquist3710]

I love Manes by Mell which I found about a month ago. I’m obsessed now to get my hair looking its best instead of washing daily to get rid of frizz. I’ve had a lot of hair falling in the last few months. I appreciate you talking about this and giving possible solutions.

[@patwilliams800]

I have exactly the same type hair so thanks for this. Wow you look stunning, but then you always look gorgeous in any style.

[@mariannab.5884]

I'm so glad I found you!!! You and I have the exact same hair. Except I think I might have double the amount in density.🙄I have been beating it into submission for YEARS. I'm going to go for this. Thank you!

[@amnbvcxz8650]

I always wondered why my hair looked so fried, rough and bad no matter the haircut 😂 the curly method would take soo much patience, time and buying the diffuser though

[@carolynmendiola7452]

Great tips. My curly hair is fine and thinning. My old tricks no longer work. Gotta try something new.

[@janetsantoro9639]

Excellent! My hair is just like your, and yes, there are times in low humidity that I like to wear it smooth and straight! This is a great option/method for my summer hair!

[@Genevieve.anne.]

Thank you so much for all of this amazing information!! I have never seen a more perfect curly hair method done! My hair type is wavy/curly and fine but there is a lot so this technique will be so helpful!

[@carolynlust9670]

Love Manes by Mel! She’s so great!! One thing I will say is I have better curls with soaking wet hair… towel drying definitely adds frizz for me

[@annegetson7825]

They hair at my crown is about 6” in length and with my wave/curl pattern it just curls upwards and stands straight(with wave lol) up in the air above my head. I straighten it so that it will lay flat, but it curls right back up in mere minutes and again goes upwards. I feel so done with having wavy/curly hair!

[@pampondel5677]

Just this weekend, I decided to stop fighting my hair. I saw my stylist today, cut my hair shorter to get rid of some of the weight (I have fine hair but a lot of it), and had her show me how to style it in its natural wavy state. Then I stumbled across this video this evening. I think I might actually be able to make it look halfway decent on my own tomorrow! So thank you! I don't see a link to the brush you recommend in the video - can you tell me which one it is? And which curling wand you recommend, as well? Thanks so much for this tutorial!
