HOW TO GROW CURLY HAIR 3 INCHES IN 3 HOURS (tips for less volume and more definition)

[@foreignfields5045]

While everyone wants huge curly hair I want elongated and defined curls... I thought I was the only one 😅

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Foreign Fields that’s what I have and I don’t like it! My hair is so thin I look like a wet poodle even when dry. I understand not wanting the “over the top volume”. Mell’s Day 2 Hair looked like a nice middle compromise. Not too thin or to huge.

[@foreignfields5045]

I agree! I don't want to look like Mona Lisa, but Mel's second day curls looked really nice

[@MiVidaBellisima]

I have short hair and my hair has volume after 3 or 4 days so I might as well start with something different lol

[@TheMadisonZone]

I want volume/curls on top but not HUGE hair

[@pinkradioheadtv]

[@excel04]

For years I've wondered why curls aren't springing up more. Now I also realise it's because I'm doing everything in this video.

LOL yes this is the OPPOSITE tutorial for big volume and a big mistake people make when wanting big hair! This is the video you need to see! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKOsh4NnZ5eUa8U 😘😘

Haha, I was doing this routine my whole my life. It's funny to watch this 😅

[@Zuzia-io1ke]

I dont do those steps and still mostly I look like this xD

[@sup9138]

Did you try a different routine? Did it bounce your curls more?

[@10aridg]

Our cries did not go unheard!! THANK YOUUUU. No one ever makes videos about LESS volume. I’ve been searching for so long :,) Thank you, you are a benevolent ruler

Am I the only one that LIVES for her makeup look in this video? Beauty youtubers are shaking in their shoes.

Finally a video to get less volume curly hair! Because I have high density thick curly 3c 4a hair AND with a lot of hair, so I’ll try this method on my next wash day thanks! Xx

[@kevitamaster-brewkombucha5472]

High density, thick hair is literally the definition of “a lot of hair”

[@maryc3102]

My names Alyssa and I’m tired Gps not necessarily, you could have high density thick hair but short. I think she meant has longer hair

YAYYYY

[@monicatorres4881]

Thank you Mell!!! This video is much needed!! When I started my curly hair journey I hated that all the tutorials I saw were for giant hair from all the other youtubers I came across. Sometimes a girl just wants her curls to sit pretty 😆 I can’t wait to try this!!!!

[@ManesByMell]

I am sooooo happy to hear that! I totally get it, the BIGGER THE HAIR THE HARDER THEY STARE, but there’s nothing wrong with taming the mane! I hope you find my tips and tricks helpful 😘😘

[@liattrotsky5902]

For years I’ve HATED curls ( especially mine) and volume and always tried to flattened it ... after starting watching you and follow all your videos, I started appreciate curly hair volume, and seeing you in both styles, girl, I have to admit.... you changed me! I prefer the volume ! 😂 you ARE a magician 🎩 I never thought it would be possible. Your volume is also your character! Love your channel thank you 🙏

[@Bebe-ge2te]

My little sister and I are learning from your videos, she doesn't like volume on her hair so this is perfect!

[@Chelarikku]

Finally a video no volume curl a dont like volume hate my curl jump all around but really want define. Thank so much.😉👍

I'd like to know why hair can frizz while wet? My hair is frizzy on the roots even though it's wet ? Do you have some tips for me ? Love you Mell, you've helped me si much trough my curly hair journey ❤️❤️❤️

[@ciararozet5516]

I think she does have a video on this topic but I forgot what the title of it was.

[@REDSTU1]

I have the same problem . I get wet frizz in the shower even after I STC.

[@egarciamj]

I'd love for her or anyone to answer this. I just started having this issue this weekend 😧 I was being complimented on my moisturized/healthy looking hair so I don't know what happened. It was frizzy, staticky and sticking to my hands while in the shower.

[@noname-vz8hl]

Maybe flash drying?

[@kevinalain4310]

The only thing that helps my hair with its frizz is the Eco protein super hold. I'm still looking for other products. But this is the only one. I use a lot of the gel! But it helps me

[@javaeslimesshorts494]

you’re so GORGEOUS!! I have curly hair just like yours and cant wait to get these results 😂

[@mdrubicon]

this is helpful for me because i have a lot of volume!!!! your 71 yo fan

[@davitae1118]

I think we need to see more of those dance moves and tips/styles on how to get funky without funking up our curls in the process. Bc when I drop it low, I come back up looking like mufasa got electrocuted. 😅

I am all about more defintiion and less pouf so I loved this video! Thank you for your tips! Also, love that lipstick color, so pretty!!

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

HI , MELL !! Hopefully I'm early enough for you to notice . I've seen a handful of others agreeing with me 🎶 We need a video about hair that doesn't like to curl at the root and only curls at the bottom (nice curls at the bottom , might I add !) . What do we do ?? Some of these products are too heavy for our hair (yes we're avoiding our roots , but it seems like the product is still weighing our hair down , even from the bottom). SO BASICALLY ! Products too heavy and straighter roots ! HELP US ! Love you 💙💙 PS Diffusing straightens the hair for some of us , including me lol

[@ManesByMell]

Hair type hair type hair type explains it all. Length, texture, curl pattern, density. Some hairs get curlier as they get longer, and it’s also because the longer our hair is on our head the dryer it gets. Newsflash, dry curly hair is bigger and even curls tighter than super healthy hydrated strands in a very weird way. Ill be explaining this more in a full video but just know it’s probably not you doing anything wrong! Just the way that it is. Embrace it!! I’m sure you look beautiful ❤️

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

@@ManesByMell Thanks for answering , my gurrll !! I figured I'd ask here cause even with your hair long , you still have curls on the top , BUT ! You just have different curls than me ! Can't wait to see that video , thanks so much for shedding some light 💙

[@pollypocket6927]

Finally the tutorial I was looking for. This method seems to be really working and I can't wait to try it. All the other tips for less volume I could find on the internet are useless and I hate it when people say that I am so lucky to have such volume and I should be happy with it, cause I honestly don't like it. I have a lot of volume and being really petite, I think it looks bad, really bad. I like my curls but I choose to straighten my hair just to get rid of the volume. Hell, many times I curl my hair with a straightener, after I straighten it, just so I could have curls without the volume. Many thanks for this tips.

[@maramao6202]

the same here! I feel you! Hopefully this method can work for me...

[@ScenicWanders]

This is my style. I more go for the long curl, I have ringlets so this is great advice as I've just been winging it.

[@marcen7067]

Yes! Finally a video where I can look for having less volume in my hair! I have the thickest hair ever and I hate having ANY extra volume since it makes my head look bigger and bigger the fluffier it gets. I look like I’m just a head full of hair some days 😭. I want my curls to be closer to my head rather than bigger and blocking people’s view lol

[@cajunchild5727]

Guuuuuurl, you have helped me with my curls SO much. I went ahead and trimmed an inch of damaged ends off of my hair and it sprang up THREE inches. And now, by following your tips, my curls are coming back. Before taking care of my hair, my curl pattern was down to 2b/2c. Last week I had 2c/3a/3b curls and this week I’m back up to 3a/3b!!! I haven’t seen this texture in 10+ years!!! Thank you for your videos!!! Lots of love from Louisiana, USA!!!

This is literally how I did my hair for the first 6 years I started wearing it curly. Getting big voluminous hair was a huge challenge for me until i realized the concept of not having a defined part in my hair. This video might inspire me to go back to my old ways for a bit

[@carlashibayama1614]

Mel thank you for commenting about everyone has a their own hair and what works for them..well after so much time I found what works for me..here it is..Lohan Herb Shampoo wash every 2 or 3 days..after camellia oil all over scalp and ends ..after finger blow dry ..pin curl then secure the head with a loose terry cloth headband..in the morning it’s nice..also a longer cut because I have thin hair..thank you so much again🙏🙇💕

I'm so glad Mell did this video because i have wavy hair and it always looked sooo weird when I would follow you hair routine that made the hair big XD. I then tried my own version and i was pleasantly surprised to see how similar it is to this routine you posted today, and thanks for including products! I've heard great things abbout the bounce curl line and now I really want to try it!

Finally!! We've been waiting a lot for this tutorial! I love it❤️ Sometimes we just hate that shrinkage. 😅😅 The elongated look suits you so beautifully by the way ❤️.

[@laexploradoraaaXD]

I've been doing this for years, like since middle school lol, so that's why my curls look long. I have a lot of thick hair so I don't really need to do anything to get volume. I love this look on you! Especially that eye shadow.

[@daliamarron6074]

That’s what I always ask when I watch your videos. You always introduce different hair products that I’m not sure what to buy or use because whatever you use, it looks good on you, haha. I have waves at the back of my hair and curls in the front. Plus, I’m on a budget so, buying things just to try it out is not something I can do especially if they aren’t budget friendly :( However, I love your videos. Your tips have been super helpful when it comes to sharing your overnight routines and ways to take care of your hair. It has helped me a lot! Thanks so much!

[@issyc2104]

Thank you so much this is exactly the video I need and was looking for for so long !

[@slimpickens4742]

I never style my hair cause no matter the effort I put into it....when I sleep, it's always squished the next day and I would need to wet it again and reapply product to get it to look like day 1 hair so I would apply a leave-in and tuck it into a bun since that's how it ends up anyway for the rest of the week but then I watched this....sweety you are a miracle worker...just the simple trick of how you tuck your hair in when sleeping, actually got me excited to do my hair again. not gonna lie at first i didn't expect anything....but then omg it worked....the next day my hair looked good, I took it out of the cap and it was flawless, i didn't even need to steam it or add anything....right now it's day 4 and my hair is so moisturized and curls are looking juicy and bouncy as if it's day 1, there is a bit of frizz and breakage damage, but other than it is amazing I used Cantu argan oil leave-in conditioner, then followed it by Cantu kids curling cream and that's it....oils tend to dry my hair so I skipped that part, and i hate how gels make my hair stiff, I like my hair to be flowy and bouncy i just really wanted to say thank you, you really helped me a lot...I made a big chop 2 years ago and that's when i found your channel, you've been guiding me ever since...so really thank you

[@mariannebarbier2811]

Sadly with my fine hair and 3a curls, this is not even the volume I get even with scrunching, styling upwards, not abusing products, plopping and diffusing head upside down...

[@sara.m88]

Same. 😓😓😓 Fine low density hair here 😓

[@kuramacabre]

I have high density, low porosity, 3a curls and also struggle with this.

[@PurpleCows]

After applying your product, try parting your hair on the opposite side than you usually wear it. Dry, then flip back to your normal side, you'll definitely get more volume!

[@kay45]

I have fine 3b hair but this might work for you! I brush my hair outwards from my scalp in sections and use a denmen brush to brush my product through and define my curls with wet (but not soaking) hair . By doing this I’m separating my curls and they start individually springing up creating more volume. I scrunch in some gel enough to leave a bit of hard cast. Then I air dry continuously flipping my hair in different directions so it doesn’t lay a certain way. Once it’s about 80 percent dry I start diffusing out the cast and upside down I diffuse my roots. I continue to flip my hair while I do this. Finally I shake out my roots and with a pick start picking around my root area and the back of my head. This has helped me go from flat roots to somewhat voluminous hair! I hope this helps 🥰

[@kevitamaster-brewkombucha5472]
