I'm so relieved to see that curly hair without products is frizzy! Because my hair looks fine with cream and gel in it but when I just wash my hair and I don't put anything in it, it has no shape. So seeing that Amanda's hair looking like mine is really comforting

[@lnnoch7186]

YES!! MEE

[@jasfay705]

Yeah curly hair tends to be more frizzy, because of the curl pattern its harder to get oil from the scalp to go on the hair shaft

[@safamohamed2290]

why is literally no one acknowledging how gorgeous they both are😍😍😍

[@Justme77400]

They really are!!

[@Bebe-ge2te]

they both have their own beauty

[@amina8048]

I was about to comment on their beauty, fearing most girls here would already have done it))) they are both amazing, ma sha Allah, very beautiful) where do they come from?

[@Booby_toesdays]

They are!!!! Yesss beautiful queens! So cute that they coordinated shirt colors

[@jadej5326]

SUCH beauties 😍😍

[@rebeccalsg]

So I tried this routine yesterday and completely ballsed it up by using too much product and not fully drying my hair before scrunching out the gel. Today? I AM SO HAPPY. My curls still need lots of work (lots and lots of work) to be all bouncy and beautiful like Amanda's, but holy moly, the difference is astounding. I deep conditioned, then used a curl creme on dripping wet hair, and then finger coiled immediately (while sat on the floor in the shower, so glam) before applying gel. For the first time ever I've got a good cast! Then I diffused, using Mel's tips, and when my hair was completely dry I used some coconut oil on my hands to scrunch out of the crunch. I actually have curls I'm proud of for the first time since I started wearing my hair naturally curly! Still a little frizz, but a complete transformation to previous stylings. Thank you Mel and Amanda!

[@StefSquiggles]

Amanda's hair at the beginning of this looks so similar to mine. Gives me hope.

[@Yachtbebe]

Mine too!

[@flor2637]

Same 😂

[@MandyGood]

OMGOSH I DID ACTUALLY WHAT YOU SAID IN THE VIDEO FOR MY LONG CURLY HAIR AND IT LOOKS AMAZING. I NEVER EVER WEAR IT CURLY. I ALWAYS STRIAGHTEN IT BUT NO MORE! I AM ALWAYS GOING TO WEAR IT CURLY! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. YOU ARE AMAZING! MY CURLS LOOK AWESOME AND I FEEL LIKE A NEW BETTER PERSON. THANKS TIMES A MILLION!!!!!

[@maxinegounden6234]

What I learned from this is that I need a sister to do my hair 😅

[@qtdeshina]

"No... bend now. And snap later." I love your sense of humor! As a big sis I can appreciate your & your little sis relationship. Haha. This long curly hair routine is exactly what I have been doing for over a year straight and it totally works. Great video!!!!

[@lexialvarez2641]

I have the same curl type as your sister and it is sooooo nice to finally have a video up of it bc there is not a lot of in between curls like myself so thank you!!!

[@macymiller8743]

Amen!!!

[@sammybateman4784]

OH. MY. GOSH. WHAT HAPPENED?!? IT WORKED. I NEVER thought my hair could get THIS big! I’ve maybe used a diffuser ONCE and after watching this video of course I was doing it wrong. All this freaking time I’ve been letting it air dry, and it’s NEVER gotten this curly/volume before!!! Where have I been?! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ like honestly, I don’t think I could ever go back to air dry, my curls are just more flat

[@alexiabrown9604]

Such great tips for LONG and coarser hair that’s weighed down. My key takeaways: * Try a mouse for hold instead of a heavy gel * Don’t be scared of brushing it when it’s wet out of the shower, it might give better definition and less frizz * Your family has stunning genetics 🧬😍

[@elizabethchamberlain1884]

Oh my Lord this video may be the solution to my life’s long issue with volume and definition. I love you rn, thanks😭😭😭

[@lysismoonlight5513]

This has to be the most informative and useful video on how to style long, coarse, thick, curly hair. Thank you!! I'm definitely goind to try this method next time I wash my hair.

[@errrkt]

100%. I followed this last night, by far the best natural curly hair day of my life.

[@emalymick]

I have long, wavy/curly, coarse hair, so this video was very helpful. Can't wait to try these techniques on my hair!

[@SwtBeat]

Your sisters hair looks SO MUCH like mine, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I have been suffering severe frizz and weight from applying product incorrectly AND diffusing wrong.

[@sparkymularkey6970]

Wow, your seester's hair before you started is what my hair looks on a good day! I need to change up my routine, for real! Thank you so much for opening my eyes!

[@victoriasuarez1217]

Yesterday was my first time watching your channel. As of yesterday you have changed my life. I have long, thick, curly hair that frizz up as soon as it dries. I immediately went to the pharmacy to get hair products and found myself reading the ingredients and directions. My hair today has never looked better in my entire life. Thank you so much. I even did a before and after photo on my IG. Thank You Ladies for enlightening me on my type of hair.💗💗💗

[@ManesByMell]

Hey Victoria!! Welcome to our channel! I’m so happy we were able to help u in such a short amount of time. I hope we continue to help u every single Tuesday. Thanks for sharing this ❤️❤️

[@nikitabeumer683]

The part where you use the dyson to first dry the roots but without it actually touching the hair is amazing! I have the same hairdryer and started doing that too... fantastic results! NO frizz at all! Best advice I’ve ever been given :)

[@pazpino]

I tried out this routine for the first time last week and holy crap my almost waist length coarse, grey Chilean hair was HUGE and living it's 80s big hair fantasy!! So much curlier than usual! Thanks!

[@raynebair]

I know this is an old video but I've just started my curly hair journey and my curl pattern is VERY similar to Amanda's. I don't have as much density and thickness, but I prefer my hair long, so this definitely helps give me some tips. Thanks for all the advice.

[@Jessica_Jones]

My curls are also pretty similar to hers -- I'm totally excited to try some of this as well!

[@drivenlife88]

Y'all are just so pretty. Your sister is going to be buggin you every day to do her hair now, it looks AMAZING!

[@Glosh-d]

I came for the thumbnail but i stayed for your personality,gal your personality is amazing.

[@mscott5258]

You are THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE curly hair beautician EVER! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@vee3476]

Her hair came out gorgeous. I needed this video. My curls have been looking sad in this cold weather. Thanks for this I will be doing this ASAP.

[@aracelischlosser6993]

I swear, I'm the only long, curly haired person that doesn't want more volume. You did a great video by the way. That is serious definition!

[@mikierouse1]

Lol followed this and my husband was like “oh my lawd. where’d all that hair come from” 🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you so much

[@hismusicnme]

I’m brand new to your channel and I have to say, not only are you fun to watch, with your humor and all, but I’m revisiting Owning my curl AND volume. Previously, I was trying so hard Not to defuse it or let it get any fluffier than possible. Thanks for reminding me to werk what God gave me 👍🙌

[@tatianakuvaldina2221]

I got a new dream: Mell styling my hair. I'm sure it'll be world changing to me. Thank you for this video!

[@adnama626]

I'm the only one in my family who has curls (courtesy of my grandmother) and I've been trying to navigate through curly hair products and embrace my curls. This video has been VERY helpful! 😊 Now I just need to know which products to use. 😅

[@ire1398]

Those shirt colors look vibrant on both of you. Thank you for this! My curls are a lot like your sister’s with a little less density. It’s down to the middle of my back and starting to look like straw. Definitely following this!

[@jessicapeake4605]

I bought these products, did my hair just like you said. FINALLY omg. A lady stopped me in the public toilets to tell me she thought my hair was INSPIRATIONAL 😆

[@amina8048]

Thanks for your feedback! Hopefully i can find them where i live after the end of the quarantine))

[@aijacirule5592]

Aaaaw that’s so cute! Happy for you!

Hell ya!

[@phoebeturner9332]

"you're gonna love her, I hate her" if that ain't the most sibling thing ever

[@ChibiChick25]

Her curls are absolutely STUN-NING!! I'm definitely going to try this method and see what happens.

[@saralyons1808]

Used this routine and products, LOVE my results. I used the curl recoil but never the other two, and they work so well together.

[@heathernakpodia4871]

Mell you have changed my curly world. I thought that since I have long hair then I was doomed to a life of no volume. Oh how you have proved that wrong. Just one video changed everything. Keep up the amazing work and life changing videos. Now to watch them all...

[@17purplecherry]

it's mind blowing to me how people with curly hair take so much time and care into their hair. My grandma has really beautiful curly hair and unfortunately i dint get that gene :( but she never does anything to it besides shampoo and air dry, that's been her thing for ever. So now i'm wondering how it would look if she actually took care of it!

[@officialecekaya]

I mean the final product is what I always wanted. I have your sister's curl pattern and this video widened my eyes. I wanted to buy the same products in order to achieve the same look. However, these products are really expensive for me :( could you do a video where you talk about cheaper but still effective curl setting products?

[@mariammosashvili4150]

I have a similar problem, I cannot find any of these products in my country. I am still looking for products with similar composition but no luck so far

[@officialecekaya]

@@mariammosashvili4150 lol my comment was a year ago and I still haven’t found a solution :( same with me btw, my country doesn’t have those and I have to shop from amazon which is pretty expensive...

[@rileypaigemc7018]

This is so FUN to watch ! Your explanations and product recommendations are informative + the happy dynamic between you two 💛 you can tell you guys love each other lol. Plus, loving the matching outfits !

[@natashaolds9826]

Rewatching this video because Mel's videos are genuinely educational. Thank you again for all the advice girly.

[@b28904]

OMG I NEED A SIS LIKE HER SO I CAN HAVE AMAZING CURLS EVERYDAY

[@elegantpunk3730]

hhhh i have too sisters and each of them have a totally different hair than me so it not always working

[@rachellep7038]

hey thanks girls! I have had very curly hair my whole life but APPERENTLY have never learned how to properly take care of it! Thanks for this, it makes me excited to rejuvenate my hair, rather than dread it!

[@miagoldstein3674]

Could you make a video of her doing her own hair?? I mean It is STUNNING but I have no personal hair stylist haha I want to her do that!

[@Cpex09FeelinFine]

Wow. I followed this with the products I had on hand, and my curls have never looked better. This is the first time I’ve ever used a diffuser successfully on my hair!! Didn’t get exactly the same volume but I couldn’t be happier with the definition or my beautiful curls!

[@Wild_Flower1997]

2 beauties in 1 family with gorgeous hair. What are the genetics? I'm so jealous. I'm gonna subscribe.

[@10023664]

I’ve had straight hair my entire life but my daughter has super curly hair. I’ve never known what to do with it because I’ve never dealt with it. Thank you so much!

[@pri1536]

I tried this and it worked amazing. Had little trouble getting definition at the back as I was doing my own hair but nonetheless amazing volume. I don't even have same products that you have but ur techniques sure worked. Pls make a video on how to refresh long hair without making roots greasy

[@lydiabachi7653]

I love your channel because it's not only about your hair but also your sister's and her transition which opens up to more people who have your type of hair or your sister's type of hair or people who are transitioning with your sister!!

[@twistedangel5850]

I watched this video a few hours ago (along with the one on diffusing tips) my hair is the same length as your sisters...... Wellll I tried it tonight and oh my goodness, my hair has never had so much volume, finally starting to love my curls! You're a godsend 😁😁

[@nayohme87]

This is incredible!!! I’ve had curly hair my whole life... and I am learning so much from your videos!

[@zuliiboo]

My hair is closer to Amanda's than Mel's. Can you ladies do a video of Amanda doing her own hair. It will seem a little more realistic especially since you (Mel) are a hairstylist and I am nowhere near that 🤪 just to see how she grabs her own hair and in what sections, etc. 🙂

[@dahliakhay7955]

I did not have the exact same products but I followed the same steps and my hair looked so beautiful. Thanks a lot.🌷🌷

[@anneharris3127]

My favorite video by far... as I have hair down to my butt which is very coarse. What I learnt from this video that its just not about the product but how to apply and when.... Got my bes curl definition today... please please do your sisters hair more often... love your hair too, but was never getting the same effect, which you clearly explained today. So over blow drying my hair straight, takes way too long.. keep up your awesome work.

My daughter has super long thick and curly hair (Puerto Rican/Hawaiian hair) and I (super super long and straight hair) have no idea what to do with it. I appreciate your video. I have learned a lot. Now I just have to practice on my daughter and make sure she can do her own, eventually... but first I need to buy a diffuser. Mahalo... blessings on blessings... Aloha.

[@meyraydm8527]

So wachted your video and i tried your method immediately . CG without combing through looks like a mess. And a lot of other methods wont work for my thin hair. But this method works soooo good. I love the result. My curls never looked this good! Especially my roots would always look flat. So thank you so so much. Love it!! 😍❤️👩🏻‍🦱
