Thanks for always including wavies. Sometimes the curly community leaves us out/can be a little gate keeper-ish, but we have plenty of texture struggles!

[@Zeldababe]

Curly ≠ wavy curly and wavy are different things

@@Zeldababe kind of proving the point no

How is it gatekeeping? Wavy is not curly

That feeling when Mell releases the video you needed two weeks ago. MISTAKES WERE ALREADY MADE!

[@ManesByMell]

OH NOOOO LMAOO IM SORRY 😂😂😂

[@jenm9347]

I found you a couple of weeks ago and now, the first time in 38 years my curls are kicking hawt. I need to go back in time and tell kid me curls rock and are not scary at all. Thanks Mell for changing my life, literally. Rocking my ginger boing boing curls like a pro now.

[@ManesByMell]

I LOVE this thank you so much for your comment, it makes my day to know I've helped you along your curly hair way!! Rock it Queen!!

[@disneyknitter9189]

I would love to see a hair cutting video that would show how to go from say Amanda’s length, to your length..just how to take off length. And how to volumize the crown area in those with thin hair. I have great curls at the bottom, but I’m thin on the top and unfortunately, I’m unable to go get a proper hair cut even if I had a curly stylist near me. I need a good curly hair cut! I love all the hair cut videos. I just wish I knew what was best for my situation! I wish you could give private hair cut consults and tell us what to do like you did with Amanda.

[@kritorokera]

I kinda believe we are in the same situation. Respond if you got the commentary I did on my own

[@PetiteCherie91]

Finally someone talks about how hair gets curlier during the week... I always felt like I'm the only one and maybe my hair is taking 2 days to dry 😅

[@VengefulAngeI]

I seriously FCKD my hair up last year when I trimmed it - twice - with dull ass scissors. I was at work, bored, and needed a trim. So I used the pair at my desk & got to work (been cutting my own hair for almost 20 years). 3 or 4 weeks later I saw a ton of split ends. I was baffled, but trimmed again. Mid trim, I was looking extra closely, and as I snipped a lock of hair, I literally watched the ends fray IN REAL TIME! I was horrified! I immediately went to amazon & bought cutting shears and now everything is much, much better

[@nabe___99]

We curly girls were waiting for this for a whole year now

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Would you maybe consider doing a video on side swept layered bangs? I wear my hair parted on the side and like to blow dry my bangs straight . I wear them to the side, feather layered. I used to trim them in between hair cuts, but with the pandemic they've gotten really long and I've forgotten how to. I don't want to make a hot mess of them Thanks.

[@margylowry]

I know this is an older video but . . . THANK YOU! I'm more of a Purple Pat (I have a mixture of wavy and curly hair, but the outer layer (including bangs) are probably the straightest locks I have. Your showing me how to cut bangs is a Godsend as I feel I don't have a forehead, I have a fivehead. Heh. I appreciate this tutorial so much.

[@carolinedale842]

No matter how many times I watch your videos about finger coiling I still can't see how you do it. Any chance of a slow motion video 1 day? Probably just me but I'm useless at it 🤣

[@kateri17]

Mell I would love a video on the haircuts you suggest to clients with different types of curly hair. I need haircut inspo so badly, I've been rocking the standard long layer cut for way too long.

[@kattyrrell5147]

I just cut my own curly bangs like 2-3 weeks ago, and I started thin and wispy for a few days before deciding to make them thicker, and I’m really happy with the results, my bangs end right before hitting my glasses so it’s perfect. Now I just have to figure out the best way to style them and get used to styling them.

[@justanothercurlygirlj9843]

I wish I could share a pic of my previous dusting 😅. I was super confident and ended up snipping a long strand off by accident haha. I still trust you though ma'am.

[@carinagarciiia]

FINALLYYY! I would have needed this video 6 months ago, but anyway THX so much😘😘

[@girlysoap9031]

I need them to cover the fact I have very thin eyebrows 🙄 they dont grow haha

[@emb1218]

Hey Mel, can you please do a video on different cutting techniques? Ouidad vs. Devacurl vs. Rezo-cut. Wet vs. dry haircuts.

[@elisabethball2184]

She has already done a video on wet vs dry and curly vs straight hair cuts here (m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqwpn2obK6HgZY). It doesn’t really go into the specific neither you mentioned but it could be a good start if you haven’t seen it yet!

[@elisabethball2184]

Methods not neither lol

[@anna-xz9yj]

I have curly bangs that I cut and maintain myself and highly recommend them! I was due for a trim/re-shape and decided to see if there were any new videos I hadn't already seen about cutting curly bangs, so this is perfect :)

[@predictivetext2447]

I mixed race and in the UK. This is the best video for cutting what we call a curly fringe. Every time I trim it I rewatch this video. Thank you

Thank you!! This helped me know what to do even when i never cut hair before. I was clueless until I found this video, I really love how my hair looks! I've wanted curtain bangs for a really long time. Hairdressers in my area don't have experience cutting curly hair. The ones that do are wayy too expensive. You're a life saver thank you so so much 💕

Absolutely love my curtain bangs! I have slightly longer ones, they start just below my eyes and go down my cheekbones. I find they help my 5head not look so prominent 😂 my 16 month old naturally has perfect wispy curtain bangs 🥰

Thanks to your video we created courage to cut our daughter's hair curly bank. The result was awesome! We are so thankful to you! Nice job!

[@timevampired]

I'm so glad I came across this, thank you! I went to devacurl salon and the lady, accidentally, blurted out to me "oh you have a really short forehead" which then made me not want to get bangs. We have very similar face shapes and forehead lengths and this really solidified that I want bangs! Thank you mama

I paired the bangs with the pigtails haircut and I absolutely LOVE IT! I know, summer bangs, sketchy, but I live along the coast and I usually have to tie my hair back at work to see what I’m doing. Now I can have my hair down AND see. It’s beautiful 🥹 and I have much more volume and shape than I did when going to the local curl specialist. Thanks Mell!!! 🥰

[@holiday991]

Just gave my bangs today, cut them little by little aka kept them really long and then slowly shrank them. Mostly point cutting to get the look I wanted no blunt cutting. I really learned a lot on your video.

[@LokiTheKhajiit]

Omg the tutorial I need! As my silly butt messed up last time I gave myself bangs forgetting now that I'm styling my hair in its wavy state

But how can I create bangs on my hair for the first time? This seems more geared to those who already have bangs. 🥺

You didn’t just inspire me to get bangs, 2 of my friends want them too. Together we have a wavy, a curly, & a curly/coily. I had mind done in a salon & I’m not too thrilled, but you showed me how to fix them & thankfully my hair grows fast. I just wanted to let my hair settle after such a big cut. Going in this week! 💇🏻‍♀️ While I’m annoyed they’re too short, I can let it go. This was a gigantic change, not just bangs & I haven’t styled my bangs curly before. In 9 years, this is the first miss. Give my hair a month & it will be good. Plus, all of my friends think I’m a natural redhead thanks to her skill with color. 🤐 Thanks for giving me some fun moments “with” my friends over bangs & hair in general. We’re scattered across the country, but we get to cut our hair “together.” 💜

[@susanwoods8485]

I’m so glad I stumbled across this video! As a wavy with a convex side profile (I learned that from your choosing the right haircut video) I’ve often struggled with bangs. I love having them but they grow out so quick and I haven’t really known the right way to style and maintain them. Not only was I able to successfully cut my bangs by following your instructions, I was also able to blow dry them nicely using the Denman brush. Genius! So much better than using a round brush. And the best thing is that you could even guide me on how to navigate and accomodate for my cow lick (which strongly favours a side part). I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you ❤

[@chelseathorne4352]

I'm considering following the tutorial for the wavy bangs and I came across your comment. I'd love to see how your bangs turned out! Do you have an Instagram where you may have shared your results? :)

[@finsterthecat]

I did this while half drunk the night before my nephew wedding and went to bed while still wet. So I woke up with trepidation but when dried and my sister saw the “It turned out so cute I might due them myself.”

Just what I needed today!

[@Ragamauffin]

Would you do a video of different types of bangs for curly hair? My bangs are kinda like the mannequin with wavy hair but I have a strong cowlick that results in a natural side part. I've always had bangs by cutting the "bigger" part of the bangs shorter because if I grow it out, the strand of hair tends to curl towards my face and it's annoying having hair on your eyes.

[@DanielaPerez-sd6dr]

I love your videos there super informative a plus is that you are very funny and quirky and make me laugh every time I watch your videos. It’s the best pet of my day😂❤

[@IshaanMenon]

Thanks so much for that comb tip. I never know how far back to take my bangs and they always look lifeless and thin as a result.

[@lauracruz2127]

I LOVE YOUR STYLE!

[@Jezelitaaa]

I used this to cut my bangs and I really like them. But I definitely think i will let them grow and I don’t plan to cut my hair like this again. I find a middle part with bangs difficult to style on my 2c -3a curls because it’s just flat on top😭😭 and the other thing is bangs are kinda messy and I’m not that big of a fan of that. Sooo if you do this…. Consider everything😂

Newly licensed (about 4 months) hair dresser here! First, thank you SO much for your knowledge and time. Second, when you cut the curls, is there a big difference if you don’t stretch them out? May I ask why you do that method cutting into the C vs. cutting into it without stretching? Thank you ♥️
