How to Easily Blow Dry Textured Hair | Dyson Hair Dryer | Melissa Alatorre

[@MelissaAlatorre]

Some notes! Keep in mind I still have a Keratin treatment in my hair which also cuts down on dry time and frizz! Let me know if you want me to test drugstore hair products to get the same results because overall this was expensive AF! 🙃

[@ioana2201]

Melissa Alatorre yesss

[@shreyab5214]

YES PLEASE DRUGSTORE!!!!

[@anitachandanita7773]

Yes please test drugstore products!!!! 😀

[@kaena011]

Do the drugstore, please, my wallet thanks you 😂😂😂

[@rj-err]

Yeees please

[@danielasolis2649]

i loooooove this video so much lol i always have to explain to ppl why i need to straighten my hair before i curl it so they understand🤦🏼‍♀️ i’m glad you made this video for us curly head girls!!

[@ElenainMovieland]

I would really appreciate a video of you showing us taking off all of your makeup! How do you get your skin properly clean after that high amount of makeup you use on tutorials! Step by step! It could be interesting 😃💞

[@dnizeliz]

I’ll wait until the Dyson hype goes down. Don’t want to spend $500. It’s nice you got it for free though, lucky!

[@Perennial1997]

It’s been two years... same price 😭

[@lexiandreoni4774]

Your channel is honestly the only one I watch I love all your videos new and old! Your so pretty and so talented with make up your my favorite Melissa :)!!!

[@liddiedeshotel7137]

So glad I found your videos!!! I am 54 and have your same hair...ahhhhhh!! It is always a struggle. Thanks for the video!

[@claudiajones3356]

Omg Melissa I just watched this video that dryer is awesome!!! I don't care what you say you have beautiful hair!!!

[@lizcarvalho8955]

Thank you Melissa for making this video for us girls with your same hair type. I'm always looking for new products to tame this hair of mine. Please keep us updated on your hair routine and products you use.

[@elisehermann6094]

Love that Bumble n Bumble conditioner! The heat protectant from that particular line is a life saver as well. I’ll spray that in my hair before I throw it up in my turbine twist to set in before I blow dry.

[@raquelolivas7954]

Thank you so much for this demo! I have the same type of hair and it takes me forever to style it. I think it’s completely worth it if it means saving time in the morning.

[@user-bd1jc8lx4t]

I honestly didn't even realize she wasn't wearing makeup until she mentioned it. She's naturally so beautiful!

[@Mitzips17]

I️ got my turbie twist because of you! LIFE CHANGING! 🙌🏼

[@hoejackborseman1059]

This was so helpful. I’ve searched for hundreds of male styling videos for blow drying tips but none of them address these problems.

[@mtnriffraff68]

My hair is so similar to yours, I skin tone is too, this is why I watch because products you recommend most always work for me; I always have to use some kind of dry oil in my hair for smoothing. Thanks!

[@tribeofben9466]

You should try a paddle brush with holes on the back, while you’re blow drying your hair. A “vented” paddle brush. It’ll allow air to flow through the brush and cut down a bit on dry time, also. You have beautiful hair! Love your videos!

[@jocelyncalderon2664]

Although not drugstore, I have been using Flawless by Gabrielle Union (shampoo, conditioner, heat protection spray & blow dry cream) and it's amazing and such a game changer!! I have the same hair type as you, being from the Caribbean & I am hooked on her hair products!

[@crystalbaker7325]

I'd love to see what your natural hair looks like!

[@MelissaAlatorre]

Crystal Lou I️ have videos with it natural! Just skinmthrough my past uploads!

[@Hustlebee23]

Hi! My hair is definetly not as thick as yours, but it is super long and wavy. So something that helps me dry my hair faster is breaking is down into sections. I do six. I just clip it up and pull down sections from side to side as needed. It might seem like more work, but when you dry by sections, those smaller sections dry faster so you don't have to go back through after you cool shot for those spots you thought were dry😬. It also helps with frizz bc for me its less time I have to apply heat. Try it out, maybe it'll be helpful! 😊LOVE your channel!

[@majlh716]

That background tho 🔥😍

[@pseudoelectric]

Melissa, you should mention that the fall 20% off VIB Sephora sale is coming up in a few days. So it will save you a ton of money on it! Like this to boost ittttttg

[@hereisourhome]

So,i just wanna say that my hair is almost exactly like your, it's like a big puf! No shine, no shape just a big hot frizzy mess 😥 and since i blow dry my hair like you do ( i watched the older clip you did) my hair looks more healthier after blowdrying it. I could never do it like in the salon, but thanks to you,now it works 🎉 i just wanna try now the 24k 😁 thank you for sharing 😘🤗

[@MsBoliqua]

Wow that dryer is amazing! I also have thick, course and frizzy hair. I just bought the Phyto straightening balm off your recommendation from a previous hair video I seen and I love it! It works great on my hair.

[@jennifers5718]

I have the same hair texture ..so thank you ! thank you ! And thank you for all the hair tips and advice !!! Hair videos are my fave

[@Nancy_ncl]

Yes please, do something like this but with more affordable products. Thanks girl 😊

[@Sahar-style]

Love your videos and your thorough explaining. Can you please give us affordable options for hot tools if you know any. It would be so helpful specially with the sales season now 😊

[@lilrr1431]

Well...shes got it for free so obviously gonna love it.

[@aliciar2644]

My Latina side is what makes you incredibly relatable, as well as your natural approach to makeup. Everything I have a question for, you have an answer! Do you have and tips on straight lashes? Mine are long but extremely straight. I would LOVE a quick tip tues. 💕

[@aorellana628]

I have yet to see a dyson video that has really impressed me. Seems like the focus of the blow dryer is how fast it is and not the results. As someone who doesn’t blow dry my hair every day speed isn’t really that important to me but I can definitely understand why it would be for others. My ceramic blow dryer leaves my hair super shiny and smooth, that’s the kind of results I would want from a $400 blow dryer.

[@peaceatlast2684]

my family bought me this for Christmas/////love it love it love it.x

[@juliale233]

Melissa I just bought the 24k Sally H Dry oil.... Oh boy.... And the Laura Mercier secret camouflage concealer! Can't wait to try those two! 😍😱

[@AngelicaHernandezblessed]

Mine wasnt $500, it was $399 before tax. I love it!! So worth it to me because its light weight & dried my hair faster & does not make my bathroom hot like my previous blow dryers. I also have thick wavy poofy hair.

[@jessicarodriguez-mendez9744]

Same girl same lol be giving the hair dresser a workout 😂😂

[@ElizabethPerez-rr8ik]

Can you show us your natural hair? I am still having a hard time knowing what you mean by wavy/ frizzy since your hair always looks smooth and people have different levels of frizz and waves.

[@whatwereuthinking77]

10 minutes!!!! God I would love that!! It takes me at least 30 and it's still not fully dry underneath near my scalp. I hate hair days because it drying time!! I wish I had $500 to throw towards a blow dryer but that's just not practice these days. I will say that I can't live without my Turbie Twist, though!! I've been using those for probably 10yrs now and love them. They really do soak up a lot of water and it's nice and light on top of your head. A towel is just heavy and huge and it always falls down. Turbie Twist is the way to go!! I have the same kind of brush for inside the shower, too. Mine's just turquoise! Who wants to battle with knots and tangles in their hair...not me. It's hard to brush long hair when it's wet.

[@goldennuggetz]

Hey Melissa Alatorre. I saw this video when you first posted it but recently watched it again after getting a Dyson Super Sonic for Xmas this year. Thank you for this video. You and I have the exact same hair type and I have also Keratin treated my hair. I found this review so useful for me and I loved the tips. I think you mentioned that you would like to not have to hold down the cool shot button. Well you don’t have to. If you click the heat button to the point where there is no light on the heat side, the dryer will blow cool air that is the same temperature as the cool shot. Thanks again.

[@donnaharrell8278]

I do have your hair type and I will buy 2 of these! One for my daughter and one for me!

[@happytrails699]

omg, you have such gorgeous thick hair.

[@raniatoubia9586]

I would definitely choose your thick coarse unruly hair over my sad thining lifeless hair. I would pay a lot of money to get a head full of hair especially that in my case I have it hereditarily thin.

[@jeanetteh.9240]

Beautiful results! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@annanowicka7149]

Melissa, do you have some tips on how to sleep on one’s styled hair so it doesn’t get unstyled in the morning? :P

[@irisfoo12]

Anna Nowicka try sleeping on silk pillow cases or putting your hair in a silk sleeping cap! Silk doesnt cause tangles and frizz and keeps style

[@iWasMadeInTheUsa]

You should youtube "how to wrap your hair" it keeps my hair straight all night and i dont have to style it in the morning

[@1maybeline]

@@iWasMadeInTheUsa Wrapping the hair is very common in Latin America and it works wonders. In some countries it's known as "torniquete or tubi."

[@lizn2126]

That blow dryer is essspensive! But this might be something worth investing in. Definitely interested in picking up that B&B shampoo/conditioner though. My daughter has thick dry coarse hair and nothing I've tried has worked for her yet. Thanks for another helpful video!

[@MelissaAlatorre]

Liz N SOOOOOO ESSPENSSIVE! So thankful the OUAI sent it 😭😭😭😭 also try the palmers coconut line and shea moisture, those were my fave affordable shampoo/conditioner options!

[@ohhailsnow7812]

Melissa Alatorre I second the Shea Moisture line. My daughter has curls & medium to coarse hair, that was also chemically processed & she loves it. Walgreens may already have put out Shea Moistures shampoo, conditioner & hair mask boxed holiday sets ($10-$15)

[@pcu24]

Just turn off the heat completely (press the heat button several times until the red light is off) if you want to cool down your hair. No need to hold the cool button throughout the process.

[@asr0508-h6n]

You talk fast. And I love that.

[@MelissaAlatorre]

Ankita Singh I️ try to slow down but.... it never happens 😂

[@smurfaniee015]

Melissa Alatorre I think it's funny when people comment you talking fast but as if it's a bad thing 😂 when I first came to your channel I thought you talked slow compared to the content I was watching I guess lol

[@asr0508-h6n]

Stephanie Ibold i love the way she talks. Her videos seems more connecting and engaging😃😃😃

[@smurfaniee015]

Ankita Singh same!! I just feel like we're best friends 😂

[@asr0508-h6n]

[@mariharamotta1820]

[@codyismyman123]

this was such a helpful video i have thick wavy hair and I never know what to do with it but this was such an informative video thank you!!!

[@sadiaafrin7487]

Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@JennySnowy]

I think I have the same hair type. I get it thinned a lot because I have so much hair and it’s like a puff ball of Hermione hair naturally. It’s coarse and so thick and that I need to straighten it with a straight blow out before styling it with a curler. My salon visits are usually a lot of work for the stylist, they even need a minute to rest their arms. It definitely takes 2 for me as well if they plan to keep time and sometimes they don’t have an available assistant. My hair dresser always sets out extra time tacked onto the original appointment time. I always tip well because my hair is a lot and usually they are astonished by how much hair drops to the ground almost every time.

[@christendominique]

I love the Dyson blow dryer!! and You soo pretty!

[@RAMONAEYES]

Great video💖💖💖🔝

[@KellyRoland90]

Melissa, your hair is freaking gorgeous!!!!! Also, I'm DYING to know where your tiny gold choker is from?!?!? 💕💖

[@KitingCakes]

Any plans to review the Dyson Airwrap? Would LOVE to see how long it takes on your/our type hair. Thanks!

500 dollars is a two-way plane ticket from Europe for South America.

[@vdublub]

i have your exact hair type and the struggle is real!

[@teachmechinese]

Do you use full heat? And which styling head do you use? Thanks!

[@kattmilk]

1. It's always interesting to me, an African American woman, to hear Caucasian women call their hair "coarse". Yours would be considered "fine" on my side. 2. You're even more beautiful without the makeup. It's good to see women not afraid to show their natural beauty.

[@XoRoxybabe615Xo]

kattmilk shes mexican so she has naturally thick hair

[@tammymacaluso8267]

Just started watching your channel and I love it ❤️

[@deeferan7467]

I didn't realize that your hair grows much wowwwww

I'd love an expensive dryer if I got it for free too...

Ugh. Yesss. If I get this, it would be my one Christmas present.

[@alexisd6335]

Is your hair currently in a long lob? Your hair looks amazing !

[@NightwingShawshank]

I use the body shop beautifying oil and it lasted me nearly 2 years one bottle. Before and after my Kertatin treatment.

[@UnicornAndri]

Love you Melissa

[@MelissaAlatorre]

Andri L love you right back!

[@popstargurl241]

I got a coupon from ulta today for this for only 79.99...I am so tempted BUT it would still be the most I've spent on a hair dryer AND I don't dry my hair with a blow dryer very often.

[@mariacecilie4702]

I’m just over here with my fine hair wishing I had that frizzy textured wavy hair 😫❤️

[@Nitaj93]

#notificationsquad #snapchatfamily Thanks for giving good tips!

[@jasmeend963]

Hey! I just purchased the Phyto straightening balm from Sephora during the sale. Do you still recommend it for blow drying?

[@laurac50]

What do you think of the new chi lava dryer? It almost looks like the Dyson but is $175 so I’m wondering if it would be a good alternative

[@madelainenogales1483]

I would love to see a video of quick and easy hairstyles. Love your makeup videos and how you style your hair.

[@Illisil]

Some of these women doing reviews are pro models!!!

[@shazey111]

There’s a cool setting. Press the button that controls the heat setting enough so that no red indicators are displayed. This will eliminate you from having to press and hold the cool shot button...

[@fatimam.8963]

OMG I LOVE YOUUUUU XOXO

[@SugarD3ar]

My hairstylist has this and uses it on my hsir snd I love the way it feels and isn't as harsh as other blow dryers

[@FashionChaletNET]

*YES* *YES* *YES!!!!* -- it's a pain in my husband's ass whenever I have to wash my hair (he thinks it takes hours, it kinda does....! lmaooo!) Xx

[@sandrar6670]

fashion chalet I just ordered mine. Today is the 6th day without washing my hair. That is how much I loathe washing my hair.

[@teachmechinese]

My husband just bought me one because it takes me so long with other hair dryers 😂

[@Sarahnotsayruh]

Where is your necklace from? So pretty! 🙂

[@emwag7263]

I got the Dyson blow dryer during the Nordstrom sale last year. I love it, but I exchanged it because it would buzz/hum when it was plugged in (but not in use). I thought it must be a defective one... They sent me another one, and that one made the same noise. I would be in my room, and then I could hear it start "buzzing". It would buzz for about 20 seconds, then stop. It does it about every thirty minutes. I exchanged that one, and now, the third one I have, does the same thing. I can't find anyone that addresses this problem online. I've tried other outlets in my house, so I know it's not that. Also, sometimes my finger slips on the tiny ON switch, and when I don't get it pushed-up the whole way, it shorts the dryer. No amount of pressing the reset button, or plugging and unplugging will get it to start again. It is a good 10 minutes before it will work again. That's not good when I'm getting ready for work in the morning -- I need every minute! Is anyone else having these problems? Did I just happen to get three duds? When the dryer is on and actually blow drying my hair, it's great. Please let me know if yours makes weird noises or shorts easily! I feel like I'm the only one...

[@lpg8518]

I bought this dryer and returned it. It left my hair looking like straw and her hair looked better before he used the dryer. Has anyone had this problem? I really wanted to like this dryer just because it's small and I'm petite, but it takes me 2 weeks to get my hair back in shape after I use this. I tried it once, waited two weeks, tried again and same result, straw hair.

[@mjmj4061]

TIP: To keep the cool setting the whole time, you just have to keep pressing on the heat button 4 times till u don't see the red light anymore. And to go back to heat setting press it again till you see the red light.

[@facemymusic]

I love all your videos! You described my hair exactly. I started combing with conditioner and a large shower comb from ConAir about a year ago... seriously changed my life! How do you like the Keratin treatment? Have you ever done a video about that? I’ve been considering it for a long time.. would love to hear your opinion! I’m like you, anything that saves time is worth the investment! Time = $$$

[@daisyfernandez2436]

Are we going to get the video on how to make your matcha drinks?

[@LovesJuicy21]

My hair is super puffy and I don't even have curly or wavy hair just a lot. It's very thick and sometimes I take almost the whole bottle of conditioner to take out the knots lol its a pain 😬I do find it easier to do it on the shower like u mention ☺

[@sheenabanda8383]

My hair is like your too!! Lol I want that hair dryer lol Maybe they’ll send you another and you can do a giveaway lol

[@crl62089]

I love watching your videos even though this one is completely un-relatable to my fine-haired self.

[@ZinniaSigrist]

Great..now I have to buy this...😩

[@idoliiseme]

I have really thick, coarse wavy hair and i tried out the dyson but ended up returning it. I couldn’t get used to the weight distribution

[@melissarparks]

I am saving up Ulta rewards for this dryer.

[@teaaustin1424]

I wish my hair was this straight after blow drying, I look like a lion after I blow dry my hair :)

[@smurfaniee015]

Same here but that's always bc I get to lazy to use the proper techniques and tools on blow drying my hair lol like the narrow piece on the hair dryer I always lose

[@sarahal-fahad2480]

Tea haha I totally agree! I just put it in a braid afterwards so it calms down 😂😂

[@BlackThorndRose]

Ahh! The nozzle is exactly what will make your hair straight and sleek (no matter what type of hair) vs. a hot frizzy mess. Also, not using one to direct the heat can cause a lot more damage to your hair because you’re constantly blowing heat throughout the whole head when it’s not necessary. As a hairstylist I always recommend, if you’re going to blow dry, do it properly or let it air dry and then flat iron it to minimize the heat damage.

[@teaaustin1424]

BlackThornRose127 Thank you! But what if you have kind of a cheap blow dryer? Will a nozzle still make a difference?

[@BlackThorndRose]

Tea Yes! Because with the nozzle on, you’re not disbursing the heat everywhere, it’s being concentrated to whatever section of hair you’re working with, stopping the heat from blowing over the hair more than it needs to be, which in turn will cause much less heat damage.

[@TheGia71]

Are you still doing the keratin treatment?

[@veronicagl]

how your hair grew so much ?!?!??

[@christellelucelo7702]

Melissa, what happened with your Phyto favorites? Do you find these products work better? I've been your follower ever since your 50K days, so I just thought.

[@ΓωγώΚατσαρού]

Once I went to my mum's house and I was looking for a round brush to blow dry my hair with, so I found one shoved at the back of a drawer and the moment I started the blow dryer, the fricking brush started melting and burning my hair with it. It all lasted 2-3 seconds maybe but I was brushing burnt pieces of brush out of my hair for weeks

[@ΓωγώΚατσαρού]

And then a month or so after that, my dumb ass went and sat too close to the fireplace, with my back to the fire. Guess who was left with a 5cm layer on the back of my head?Thanfully my hair is curly so it was not that visible. (Sorry about any mistakes, greek gal)

[@flipbella13]

Hey girl! You totally can leave the cold shot on you just turn off the heat with the red button so you never have to press the button the entire time

[@kenleung7467]

How about feeling this hairdryer? Doing more hair tutorial! But every time you blowing your hair never get super silky smooth results before!hoping you don’t need flat iron!

[@viktoriamarton]

where did u get your necklaces from?

[@106andie]

Melissa, does the bumble and bumble thick hair styler work for heat styling? I thought it was just for air drying, btw what do you recommend for when your hair is very frizzy and curly for heat styling?

[@MelissaAlatorre]

106andie you know what I just realized it is for air drying 😭 I️ think I️ got it confused with the B.B. Repair blow dry haha! That ones great!

[@precioushappiness]

I would definetely use this hair dryer no matter how much I hate to blow dry, if only Dyson sent me one too 🙄😒

[@feminisaahartistry3461]

This blow dryer IS expensive, but it isn't $500. It's $400 ($399 to be specific). Just don't want misinformation to spread. 😊

[@MelissaAlatorre]

Feminisaah Artistry yes I️ included that in the description box, my bad! Thank you regardless!

[@feminisaahartistry3461]

Melissa Alatorre sorry I didn't even look there (duh!). I just used to work at Sephora and while I was watching the video I was like wait, did they raise the price on that bad boy?!?! 😂😂😂

[@cherrypeachsoda]

Feminisaah Artistry it is $499 at Sephora in Canada 🇨🇦.

[@muslimah432]

I have hair just like you and all my life its a must that i comb my hair while its wet and saturated in conditioner! Other ppl just don't get it cuz they dnt have the same kind of hair as i do its annoying lol and oh! back combing my hair?! Omg! Forget it! The aftermath is a complete disaster!

[@sooyan00]

I have thin, fine, oily, straight, flat hair... But who cares lol it's Melissa

[@laurapirate]

Hey girl, your name is spelled wrong in the title :)

[@codyismyman123]

YAS Melissa

[@Khvost_]

God, I would like to have thick hair! This is so ironic that people with thick hair do not appreciate having thick hair because of the time it takes them to style it. Every coin has two sides, I guess.

[@wizardwanda5081]

Добрый День I have thick, curly hair, and I love it. I can't brush my hair when it's dry or it puffs up really bad and it's incredibly frizzy, other than that, no complaints from me
