HAIR STYLISTS TESTS WEIRD HAIR TOOLS FOUND ON AMAZON (watch this before you buy)

[@katibenzer]

Mell, you are brave to try all these random beauty tools. The bling looks beautiful on your hair and I really like your bridal look.

[@ManesByMell]

Thank you so much!

[@reviled1]

I LOVE my Aubonacci tool! I've only used it for 2 washdays but I'm sold! I use a strong gel, pick up some hair and gently pull it a little, and then roll it like a curling iron. Haven't root clipped since I got it and my hair loves to bond with my scalp.

[@simplyjess9689]

Mel’s wheeze laugh never fails to crack me up 😭

[@vbetz6357]

I love how silly she lets herself be on camera. Mell is just adorable 🥰

[@DianaBecker1]

In the late 90s/early 2000s, I had bling hair accessories with velcro on the back of each rhinestone. They stuck beautifully in my curly hair and were reusable.

[@valeriavandijl7607]

I had the velcro ones too, but I must have lost them in the end ;)

[@ManesByMell]

That’s great to hear!! The idea of velcro triggers me a bit 🤣 but I could be into it!

[@DianaBecker1]

@@ManesByMell Don't think: "velcro" Think: tiny little hair combs

[@tinat232]

You are a brave lady to put that detangler in your hair. I would take one look at that and say nope! 😆 the root lift seems interesting. Thanks for testing these!

[@dennissems]

I love that root lift!

[@sarahb5531]

The root lifter looks perfect for my fine wavy hair! My hair lays flatnon my scalp and the wave starts after that. So anything that gives volume is a win because I get zero lift naturally.

[@michellebaker793]

I love this tool for my roots.

[@kcpugh5601]

Originally came here for the root lifter, but that blinger got me hooked! I can't believe it looks so classy! That bridal look is gorgeous and now I have to try some things. Thanks, Mel!

[@dpaschal1234]

Mel, please do a video on root clips. This is the first I've heard about them causing possible damage to your hair, so a how to tutorial or alternative methods for us flat wavy hair girls would be very beneficial.

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

Mel you're hilarious. And I would totally get addicted to the blinger. The sound it makes I'd be clipping and blinging away.

[@tammycuster3377]

I have the root lifter and love it. I use it after I diffuse and I also keep my diffuser on when using it.

[@ManesByMell]

I’m definitely going to try it that way next, thank you! So glad it works for you 🥰

[@marygillespie2028]

Just got my Au Bonacci. I had moderate success on the first use today. I think it will get better with practice!

[@bloodlacerose1688]

Aaaaah you are the one that got me to buy the root clips. Maybe.... you could do an update telling us what products you still use? I found I did not like them so that went down the drain, along with other items like the Denman brush, I do not see you use that any more and I am older and disabled and do not have the money to toss out, you know? Thank you for ALL you do do for us, I have learned a lot from you. Rose.

[@kellyharrity6446]

I bought the AuBonacci a few weeks ago and was hoping someone on KZbin reviewed it! I’m Glad it was you! I got some lift at my crown but not at the sides.. maybe I need to refine my technique 😉 I’mGoing to watch again and really watch how you used it. great video!!

[@k.t.frederick3597]

I’m not gunna lie…I’m almost 61 and I really want that Blinger thinger!

[@24deb24]

I like the AuBonnacci root lifter thing, but from what I've discovered it's $54! Too much for my budget. There are some facsimiles out there which are about $5. I'd be willing to get one of those to test how it functions. Then, if I don't like it, I haven't lost too much money.

[@christina6254]

This one was so much fun! I love it when you bring out Purple Patty! The bling wedding look was gorgeous on you. You are wonderful and hysterical…thank you for sharing yourself with all of us! 🕉💜

Thank YOU Christina my day is always made when I see you in my comments! Appreciate you, purple pat needs a fresh colour and then I’ll bring her around more 🤣

[@colleencathrae6523]

[@TheeCharmLife]

Oh, no ma'am. Just the look of that detangler scared the bejeezus out of me. You are a brave, brave woman Mell!!

[@Nonna_Lisa_B]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for reviewing the AuBonacci Root Volume Styler! I have been looking at this for months and couldn't decide if it was really worth it. I think I'm going to go ahead and splurge! I go to hell and back every.single.time I wash my hair trying to get lift on the top. Hope this helps! 🤞🤞

I got a root lifter like that many years ago from Aveeda. It was part of a kit. I still have it. The prong’s are different lengths too in order to grip hair a certain way. It’s plastic. This looks like an interesting tool. I like the material of it.

The bling at the end 😍 You looked stunning!

[@Nobody277]

The Remington detangler is insanely effective for me. I am not curly but my hair tangles soooo easily, I have 2-3 full dreads at the back of my head after an hour of wearing it down. It is the only thing I would dare to put in my wet hair.

[@lngislgirl]

Hi my fellow curlys! I kinda like the bling one and maybe the lift tool. I am from the 80's but I don't remember the bling tool. I remember buying a plastic wand that helps put beads in your hair

[@MsHendrix5]

The end is hilarious 😂

[@melissaclark6578]

The corkscrew hair decorations are so easy to use! My very very very tender headed niece had the corkscrew studs in her very very very curly hair when she went to prom. The stylist did a updo early the same day as prom and explained to me how to put the corkscrew decorations in her hair before heading to prom. My niece didn’t even feel them in her hair and they came out with ease at the end of prom.

[@tamiburling3530]

I just saw the AuBonacci Styler and it intrigued me. Then I found your video reviewing it. Thank you so much! I have type 2B/2C hair so I think this will work nicely for me. I will be purchasing soon. Your bridal look was gorgeous!

[@jmatkinhawaii1281]

There's a "roll & go" tool from the 1940s that has been revived for modern victory roll hairstyles that looks very similar to the root lift tool

[@ManesByMell]

Okay I need to look into this!!!

[@chelseal654]

Yeah that was my first thought when I saw the root lift tool, just a roll and go 😂

[@9melissal]

Yes! They just repurposed a pincurl tool.

[@TheElfball68]

I just ordered one from Walmart yesterday! Hoping it will help me get more volume at my roots.

[@madelinemadden9157]

You can also make ringlets with that second tool. I used to call it a dingle hopper. I found one at Walmart years ago, and lost it and haven’t been able to find one since, but I loved that thing.

[@TheElfball68]

Walmart sells them online, look for “curling rod hair twist comb”

[@elianisvalle1792]

The volume tool looked scary but it worked well. And love the bling bling part, outfit and ending 😂🤍

[@monalisadiva]

Mell, I have something very similar to the volume booster and have had it for years. I bought it to help me do victory rolls for hair in a 1940s version of Peter Pan musical. I was never sure what it was really meant for… 😂

[@beverlyjackson6314]

You are hilarious! You made me smile when you were doing the wedding thing.

[@watsonmelon6575]

I'd love to see you try out the Rhyme and Reason curly hair line and hear your thoughts on it

[@karenlevitt7430]

Yay hair jewelry! I’m loving it. (Right now I am adoring rhinestone and pearl barrettes and clips. ) I CANNOT get behind the current claw clip craze b/c to me they are utilitarian sectioning clips and they will never look decorative to me. Love some sparkle in my white curly hair. If I can’t get a lot of shine due to color and texture, I can at least get sparkle!!! I’m definitely interested in the root volume tool. Tricks w stylers don’t work the way I want; I don’t want to have to have stiff or product-y roots to get lift at the crown.

[@debrarubin-roberts864]

Very fun video Mell! Thank you! I'm curious, how long did the Blinger 's jewel stickers stay in your hair for? Wondering if they would all fall out by the end of the night?

It was hell trying to find them and twist them out. Not using them again 😂. I have seen the root volume comb on instagram before, glad you tried on your hair first😝. Might have to give it a try.

[@karenn993]

I feel like the root lift tool has potential though wouldn't it be more useful with the prongs arranged in a line rather than circular? You can't just lift the roots without disturbing other hair - thus the frizz.

[@michRobalino]

Also I think if the prong had thinner end and longer, that way it can easily get in the hair

Also do you have any tips on how to repair my damaged ends right now?

[@samanthaw7416]

I recently destroyed my hair with box dye. Never had a problem before and I used a new brand and it sucked the life out of my hair. I’m still trying to fix it, but one thing I found that has helped a lot is Shea Moisture Hydrate and Repair Power Protein treatment.

[@maryfreas5200]

I bought an early version of the AuBonacci device. It didn't have a brand or name on it. It was just a single piece of molded plastic. Cost me less than $10 about 15 years ago. I bought it just because it caught my eye. Had no idea how to use it or what it was for. There were no directions or anything. I have shorter, very fine low density hair, and I use it on damp hair. I wound it up and slip it off. Then I microplop it, diffuse it, and the curls are amazing. I showed it to my hairstylist. she had never seen anything like it before. I showed her how I use it, and she was absolutely floored by how well it worked on my hair. What it did was emphasize the curl in my hair and it held it while I diffused. My hairstylist said I could get rid of my Denman and everything else because this thing was all I needed. I do love it that much. Having said all that I don't think it would be real easy to use on someone with real high density hair. I just love it on mine.

Mary it sounds like you hit the jackpot!! I love that for you! Medium-low density and wavy/curly hair seems to be ideal for this type of tool, it can really work some magic that I’m sure I need to master!
