Agree with Amanda on first impressions. JF side has more definition but the other side looks softer, which is surprising given how heavy the products were.

🤔 I would like to hear your opinion about mineral oil or petroleum as an ingredient. Because usually is one of the NOs together with silicones and sulfate.

She likes both of them! She talks about it in a few videos

[@jurinacleaver2342]

I asked John Frieda if they are curly girl approved and they replied "sadly no" but after this I will actually go and try them now as I already love the Marc Anthony range so so much, especially the Curl envy cream😊😊 Thanks for the information Mel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love the curl envy cream also! It is the only product out of the Marc Anthony Strictly Curls product line that I have used. Tempted to try the others now. 😊 @ManesByMell is super knowledgeable when it comes to curls. I have been binging since I found her channel.

[@thatgirl5630]

ALOT of curly girls DO NOT follow by the curly girl method bc it doesn’t fit their hair, sometimes hair loves silicone or sulfates BUT not all hair likes it! So it’s just trial and error

[@madraye19]

hey mell, could you do a video on dandruff/product buildup and dry scalps? I have been so lost and want to give up. I have so much buildup, and it’s messing with my curls. :/

[@DaenerysGOT18]

I would love her to do a video like that! I have the same problem:(

[@biancarosato5904]

I struggle with this too, and I’ve learned a lot! Firstly, you have to know if you’re struggling with dandruff or dry scalp. Not the same thing! Remember that scalp is skin. Dry scalp is like dry skin - it needs hydration. But dandruff is a skin condition of the scalp. It’s caused by fungal growth and is usually associated with oily scalp. Product buildup is neither dry scalp nor dandruff but it can cause both by clogging up your hair follicles. If an ingredient in your hair care would clog the pores on your face, it will clog the pores (follicles) on your head! So if you have dandruff that’s caused or worsened by product buildup, get into a really good clarifying routine, and try to avoid product application to the scalp. Make sure that your shampoos don’t contain anything like coconut oil or Shea butter which could clog your hair follicles. The brand SEEN is a hair care line specifically made without pores cloggers (Mell has a video on it) and I love them! One last tip: my clarifying shampoo (which I use monthly) has sulfates and salicylic acid. SA is a chemical exfoliant - it is amazing at getting deep into pores and cleaning them out. Neutrogena has a salyclic acid shampoo but so do lots of other brands and that has helped me keep the oily dandruff flakes awake!

[@madraye19]

@@biancarosato5904 that makes a lot of sense. while researching, a lot of articles kept clumping the three together. i’m going to say that I have dandruff that worsened by product buildup. I def need to change my shampoo. i’m thinking about getting a scalp scrub and then switching over to a new routine. edit: forgot to say thank you! lol

[@DaenerysGOT18]

@@biancarosato5904 Thank you so much for explaining the differences. I feel like I have dry scalp but also dandruff. I don’t know how it’s possible but as soon as I shake my head little white flakes come off:( But then my scalp itself has a film of build that if I scratch with my fingernail dead skin comes off. I know that’s really gross🤢 Any idea what I should do?

[@biancarosato5904]

@@DaenerysGOT18 lol I know exactly what you mean! I would avoid shampoos with oils and butters and stick to shampoos that gently cleanse. (This can be hard to find because shampoos that clean my scalp well tend to dry my hair out. But healthy hair starts at the scalp!) I’d clarify your hair as often as needed (for me that’s once a month) with a sulfate and try to avoid putting products other than shampoo on your scalp. For the dry scalp - I think that might self resolve once you get a good cleansing routine going because the skin will actually be able to breathe. If it doesn’t resolve, try drinking lots of water and eating foods high in fat (nuts, fish, etc) or you could always go to a dermatologist!

[@Miss.kittty]

Thanks so much for doing this. Lots of people can't afford high-end hair care. This stuff is as cheap as chips in my country ❤️🇦🇺

[@tara_ble1705]

I’m only at 11:30, but I’ve used both of these lines and I can tell you, from my experience, I love the Marc Anthony best, but I don’t use near the amount of product...lol. When I used to wash, color and straighten my hair every single day, the “Grow Long” line and the coconut oil and Shea butter shampoo and conditioner, worked wonderfully. I love all of them. I have used the JF and they’re ok, too, but I just seem to get better results and better waves/curls with the MA. EDIT: It also seems like when I use either line consistently for a few months, my hair looks and feels better. I think when I get low on my MA, I’ll try JF again. Since I paused to write this, Imma head back to the vid. Thanks, Mel. We appreciate the time you put into helping us with reviews of products and the time you put into making sure we can have the best curl experience every single day!! 👏🏼♥️👉🏼
