This is a fav video of mine and once again, I have stumbled upon a youtuber who i LOVE and because I love them, im torn between wanting them to blow up but also not wanting a bunch of people to come and crowd up the comments! lmaoo

I'm confused. I have 3C hair with fine strands. Do I apply a serum on wet hair (sillicone or non silicone based) before a gel? Or the other way around? I want to lock in moisture and keep my curl pattern defined.

I’m so blessed I found you! I was doing the Curly girl method and it just wasn’t working for my hair, but the way I looked at it I thought I had to follow it for healthy hair even tho my hair wasn’t healthy or anything. Since I’ve been following you my curls actually look defined, and nourished, and my hair doesn’t feel weighed down, and it’s bouncy.

Did I just watch this 5 times and take notes? Yes, yes I did. Thank you for posting such a thorough video!

[@mackenziepenka9702]

😍 I just discovered your videos and I swear I’ve watched 10 videos today. I sort of did a curly girl method several years ago and it was not terrible but I wasn’t impressed enough to keep it going. I have had dreads for 2 years now and finally cut all of my hair off about 2 month ago. I decided then to go blonde, on my extremely dark hair 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ That only lasted until my hair started to grow and show my dark new growth and I gave up and went back to natural. Now only the very ends are really damaged and I’ve decided to go back to my natural dark curls. I’ve had every color in the book, red, blue, purple, orange, turquoise, you name it! I’ve been straightening since I was 12 because my mother never knew how to properly care for my curly hair. She only braided it extremely tight and left it for days, washed it, and started over. Now I’m dying to see what my natural looks like when properly cares for. I almost tried the “cgm” again until I came across your videos! You have saved me a lot of trouble and heartache I’m sure! Now I can’t wait to see how this curly pixie cut grows out!!

I have a 7 year old daughter with long curly hair and I’m always struggling to find products for her hair. I have wavy hair and don’t use many products on my hair so coming across your channel has been very eye opening! I’m always fearful of using the wrong product on her curls causing them to get damaged or fall out. Thank you so much for this video!

[@evesinclair6536]

I really want to thank you, I have just washed my hair and used several different product in the right order and it really helped, I also used another video to learn how to diffuse it properly but now my hair looks amazing and your hair is amazing so thank you x

From a Mum who struggled to know what to do with her daughters curly hair, I have to say a massive thank you for sharing this info.

I am taking hair gummies to help grow my hair. Overall my curls came back but they are not 100.

I’m so glad your channel exists! I don’t think I’ve ever watched someone break it down like this. I’ve been on my curl journey for about three years now. Last night I used a deep conditioning treatment ( shea moisture strengthen and restore treatment masque) with heat for the first time on wash day. I then rinsed with cold water. Applied my styling products (don’t furrow your brows lol) cantu coconut curling cream and suave volumizing mousse and that was it 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have long hair so you can imagine the volume I have 😂👎🏼 although my hair has less frizz now, my curls are night shiny or detailed. Happy to have seen this video. I even took notes on when they should be applied. I’m obviously lacking several products! Lol good luck with your channel!

Just discovered this girl and LOVE LOVE LOVE her! She is hilarious and everything she says makes sense. Thanks Mel!! Had straight hair when I was little, started to curl in middle school and just never knew what to do. When I finally figured out how to care for it somewhat I moved from a humid environment to a very dry one and have just been lost in what to do, especially since my hair is fine so the products I thought would add moisture best to it, were too heavy the next morning. My curls were dry and just lost. But since I started watching all your videos and I feel that I got this! Curl game is on a comeback! And your videos with your sister are my favs!!! Thank you!!!

[@umangparashar5832]

Hii love your videos. I would really appreciate if you could make a video for styling wavy 2a 2b hair

[@roxymax1221]

I can’t thank you enough! After colouring my hair twice in a short period of time my curls went flat. I didn’t know how to maintain them before that and would always brush it when it was dry. But then I discovered the internet and realised my whole life has been a lie. With the rest of my family having straight hair from ironing it or just having natural straight/slightly wavy hair, I had no idea that curly hair needs extra love and attention. Honestly you helped me so much and my curls are already looking way better. My curls bring me a lot of happiness, and I can’t thank you enough for helping me through my transition! 💗💗

[@SoullessMermaidGames]

debbie cameron then get affordable products for your own hair? Why would she waste money buying extra products just to use for videos when she likes what she uses lol? Use google if you’re trying to find product reviews or youtube affordable products. Besides as another hairstylist I can tell you there is not one drugstore product I would ever recommend except a specific dry shampoo. You don’t have to use exactly everything someone on youtube does not to mention everyone has different hair and needs different things

[@MariaCecilia-ne2tf]

I have had curly hair since puberty, and during my second pregnancy (a boy) my girls went into ringlets. I am now transitioning into my natural colour (grey, salt/pepper) and am excited to learn how to properly care for my curls. The first day I left a conditioner in my hair, my curls were so much better. It's all up from here!!! btw, every video you make gives me the giggles

Can u do a product recommendation for fine wavy hair

[@naminegirl21]

I just washed my hair. Took me 1.5 hours of standing in the shower till my feet hurt Had to sit down in the *empty* tub while detangling 😭😭😂 Now i have to spend another 2 to 2.5 hours applying gel, shingling & air drying!! Im tired!! Somebody come finish my hair for me **crying my eyes out**

This was more informative about how and when and why, etc., than any other video I've seen yet. Thank you for explaining all of this! I'm new to these methods, and products in general (I've always avoided products in my hair, fearing damage). My hair just started becoming curly 3 years ago, and has gotten quite curly as of late (not quite as curly as yours, but it's getting close). Even when my hair was straight as an arrow, it was extremely frizzy. I was SO ready to chop off my long hair even just a week ago, but it is already improving over the last couple of weeks due to changes in products and methods. Now I'm just going to get a much needed trim on my dry ends, and keep working on improving my natural hair's health and appearance. If my hair is short, I absolutely have to style it, and I'm disabled, which makes styling extremely painful and difficult. Working with natural curls is an effort, but still less difficult than actually styling my hair. I love your humor and personality! I've cracked up at every video of yours I've watched at least once. 😂

Reading this message brings me so much joy. It's funny how our hair changes so drastically! Products definitely make or break a hairstyle, once you find good ones and see your hair at its best, then I would decide how much needs to be cut! A big chop isn't always necessary to have healthy hair, but I definitely recommend frequent trims until your hair has recovered from previous damage! Once your curls are healthy, styling will be a breeze, even for the "disabled" 😂😂 Thank you for watching, stay tuned for more info and laughs xoxoxo

Amika Touchable Hairspray is really good ... AND I am now BRUSHING the product after applying it thanks to you... I do get some more shrinkage BUT my curls are definitely more defined... when my hair feels smooth I know I have applied enough... its getting better thanks MEL!! I've also tried AG re coiled curl cream with their mousse gel, and WOW... really good recommendation!!!

Really good video. I feel less clueless for sure. I ha e so many products and I do t think I need to use them all. I just need to find the combination that works for me. But now I know the categories.

[@moniquegebeline4350]

I’m having the same issues!

[@evayesenia5066]

Thanks love this, because I really don't know what order to use the products a lot of times. Really haven't gotten into the gels yet but definitely need to since I do struggle with frizz.
