MY BEST TIPS FOR BIG VOLUMIZED CURLY HAIR

[@ManesByMell]

What a premiere! Thanks to everyone who joined! If I couldn't get to your question during the live chat, leave it in the comment section! Remember, there isn't one way to do your hair. There's lots of different videos on this channel sharing different tutorials, some with volume and no frizz, some with no volume, length and definition, some with a brush, some finger coiling, the possibilities are endless! You don't know if something's going to work until you try it and when you do, let me know! I love seeing your looks when you share on Instagram or leave a nice comment. You inspire me to share more videos so on that note, let me know what else you'd like to see and until next time, this has been your Mane Girl Mell, and I'll see you in the comments! docs.google.com/forms/d/1DY-35wB_-okAQ8uAuKWjcoq2sBvTRWw0hF4tMFLQgq4/edit

I have long, medium density, coarse curly hair and leave in sprays just don't to it for my hair. Will I be able to get the same amount of volume with leave in creams and heavier gels? PS: Love your vids, you help and inspire me every day 💞

[@carolyndann]

Are there additional challenges when taking care of wavy/curly GREY hair? I have seen comments throughout the curly haired community indicating that grey hair is a whole new game, but I have never found any KZbinr address how grey hair may actually act differently or need different considerations when caring for it. If grey hair is more challenging to care for, I would love to see a video about it.

[@winniefelicianomusic]

Hello Mell! Can you help explain why for some curlies humidity actually WEIGHS DOWN our hair? :( It literally just "re wets" my hair and makes it "wet/frizzy"... Horrible! It does the exact opposite of giving me volume. Why does it happen and how can I manage it?

[@mollyrevoir9441]

Hi Mell!! I am new to your channel and I love it!!!!! I have learned so much!! I wanted to know what you suggest I am doing incorrectly if I am experiencing hair "deflation" so to speak, I have 2c-3A curls and I LOVE big hair with lots of volume, but it seems to deflate 20 min later after I diffuse it, but looks great immediately after I diffuse. I have no idea what I am doing wrong?????

[@theraellpollard6926]

I just bleached my hair and it killed my curls. What can I do to get my curls back and keep my blonde?

[@laurasmith5001]

Mel should definitely do her hair like this more often, it's gorgeous! Can't wait to try this on my thin/fine/dry hair and give it some sass!

[@ManesByMell]

YAASSS BRING ON THE SASSS! I am LOVING my hair like this!

[@weatherviewer]

@@ManesByMell your hair is STUNNING! Thanks for the great tips! I live in humid Florida so I definitely don't need the steamer!!

[@rosemaryrodriguez5138]

Mell, you have seriously changed the way I view my hair. I was always straightening it with the iron, always keeping it pin straight. Afraid of showing my natural (Dominican) hair. But after watching your videos, I am proud to show it off. I refuse to straighten my hair now lol. Thanks so much for being so amazing!!!!!!!!

[@ManesByMell]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@estherpaulino3096]

Girl, same! They usually consider curly hair "pelo malo" without realizing it takes effort for it to look this good

[@katelyn-m2p]

yesss omg!! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

[@Rebe.free.]

This is the greatest curly hair video of all time.

[@ManesByMell]

Of ALL TIME?!? Have I topped my other million view videos?!? We'll find out soon! Thank you so much for the love

[@suzannefield7583]

You are literally the best person on You Tube and you changed how I feel about my hair. I never knew it could be so pretty and curly. I've kept it pixie short for years because I didn't know how to take care of it and I thought I had frizzy fluffy hair. I've been growing it out and who knew I actually have curly hair! So thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@ManesByMell]

Thank YOU for your beautiful message, I'm so glad I could help

[@lydia-annsmith3489]

Your videos has helped me so much Mel! Being in South Africa and not having a lot of these brands, you showed me what consistency products should be for my hair, what I should look for and what suits my hair type! So it has been an awesome 7 months of being natural and loving my curls! Thank you so much. I now love my hair and I accept myself more. All thanks to you! I love your humor as well. Thank you!

[@GenaMarie]

Loved this, Mel & Amanda! I have low density hair so loved these tips for volume. Also, huge congrats on 400k! Well deserved 🥂💕

[@lyndajose603]

Hi Gena, I'll be looking for your video trying this technique too! I have fine, high density hair that tends to go limp, your videos help in that area, thanks!

[@EmilyWithers]

Love this! Would love to hear more about how to avoid hair melt (hair that falls limp throughout the day) as I really struggle with it and don't know how to fix it!

[@aranzart3642]

Same here

[@annettehinchliffe4198]

I started my curly hair journey late in life (60) and I have to say your videos have given me the framework for understanding my hair and making the most of my curls. Thank you Mel, you provide a great service as well as keeping us all entertained with your sense of humor. xo

[@ironrose01]

Omg. I am so glad you posted this. I used to wear my hair curly about ten years ago. It was big and voluminous... People would gush over it and complement it. But now that I am back to curly but this time not using the products that made my hair feel like cement it's not even a third that voluminous. I need all the help I can get.

[@salem42069]

I love you Mel! You helped me so much on my curly journey, I don’t think I could’ve done it without you! Because of you, I’m actually inspired to become a hairstylist so I can help other women on the curly journey because you made me feel so confident about my hair, and I want to bless others with that confidence too. Thanks!

[@naomyr1553]

I already said it once but i don't care to repeat it. Mell thanks so much cuz now understand that what is to actually have a healthy hair. Ur energy is sooooo contagious that i can't hold my smile. ❤ U

[@soniajaunita7541]

This routine was great! I tried it on my extremely fine, very low density, thin hair and it was amazing. I had volume, i had curl and i got lots of compliments! Day two hair looked amazing also but i had to wash it after that because i already had an appointment to get some braids but please believe when the braids come out, this is my new go to!

[@bleaf_]

Hi, I found this video last week, tried out the routine, and my hair looks great! That fine hair style primer was a godsend, I'm so much happier with my hair than I usually am. THANK YOU!

[@heavenglow]

🙌🏼 You have helped me love my curls. I can finally get the clumps and curls I have been dying for AND I can get them to last for 7 days!!! Yes Girl! Now I want VOLUME. I’ll be here waiting

[@jacc.7003]

BIG & VOLUMINOUS are always my goals. Excited to learn yayyyyyy

[@vishnupriyarayaprolu1663]

You know what... I'm so glad you're putting this look on your channel... Cuz you're really normalising that frizz... I love it when my hair is big and frizzy but whenever I do go out with a look like this everyone thinks my hair looks bad 😭😭 and I get insecure ... I wish people kept their non curly opinions to themselves

[@JessicaMartinez-ur6dm]

I haven't done my hair curly since 2002! I'm 35. Your videos are seriously teaching me how to do my hair curly again and I love it! I straightened and fried my hair for years and I'm finally appreciating my curls because of you! Thaaanks:)

[@kelseyarias5593]

omg please style like this more often! this is a LOOK! does anyone experience itchiness after refreshing??

[@itsamandapasceri]

[@hillarybanks2722]

[@Lysaidaromero]

GIRL! That was some serious volume. I’m sure people are staring! ❤️ it!

[@ManesByMell]

literally bigger than it's ever been. Now you know my secrets!

[@NaomiTaveras]

omg YASSS sis!! this is IT! You should do your hair voluminous so much more often than very defined. I love love love this

[@cngwt3979]

mell you really changed my life!! i have short curly hair and following tutorials that use the denman brush did not give me the volume i was looking for. i tried your techniques from this video and my goodness!! it is what I've been trying to achieve for the longest time🥰

[@dorit3153]

I've been watching a lot of KZbinrs but you are BY FAR the BEST. I expect my hair to become like the gods following your tips lol

[@alannahdexter7532]

Hi Mell✨thank you so much for helping my hair..no SAVING it❤️I thought my hair was damaged but no it's curly I found out about a year ago.At one point I wanted to shave my head because it looked so bad but then one of my friends recommended you and my hair has never looked better! I really appreciate all the help❤️ I just want to hug you so much✨

[@catdogdogcat3481]

Can’t wait to hear your wisdom! Cuz of your advice my hair has never looked better. Too bad it took this long.

Yay!! So happy to hear, thanks for watching!!

[@tomatoandbasilsoup]

looks amazing and I love the pick to lift roots when drying tip!

[@ManesByMell]

Thank you! It's a look indeed! Very 80s in my eyes

[@ciararozet5516]

CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!! I still struggle with getting volume sometimes.

I still learn from you, even after watching the video multiple times. Thank you for helping my curls!

OMG THIS IS THE TUTORIAL I N E E D E D YOU HAVE NO IDEA MEL THANK YOOUUUU!!!

[@henaltman1134]

‏I must say that since the Corona virus started and quarantine I have become very interested in tips on how to style my hair and since I started watching you on KZbin I have learned so many things about curly hair and how to style it properly. ‏Every week I wait for your videos because you deliver them in such an interesting and funny way. ‏If I lived in Canada I would come and get a haircut. ‏You and Amanda are amazing and thank you for all the stunning tips ‏Very appreciative ❤️

[@jennils1785]

The thing that sucks with living in Canada is how most people live in the US and only link the items in US stores which makes it so hard (for me anyways) to find them here. I absolutely LOVE that you link them for Canadians like myself also! I’ve been binge watching your videos all day, so helpful!!!!

[@Rapunzelmedia]

"DONT YOU FORGET IT!!" That made me laugh out loud! Your so funny we love you @manesbymell!

[@breannaodom232]

You should totally make a hair quiz for us to take and what products you Reccomend us to use based on our results!!😊

[@martifinan998]

I've never seen any style you show that doesn't look beautiful but THIS is like a modern Marie Antoinette. Outrageous , soft, and darling.

[@jennifercruz4242]

Yes! can we have move drugstore product battles plz! Love your channel Mell and Amanda!

[@ebegan1339]

Ugh! Is it 3 yet??? Cannot wait! Love these videos! Thank you seesters for all your hard work!

[@TheCurlStory]

Love this! My struggle is always volume at the roots. Going to try these tips! Thank you 💕

[@presleyissel5439]

Honestly I wish I lived around the corner from you, I feel like I just need someone to take my hair through this process because I always feel like I’m doing something wrong. I’m still trying to figure out which products work on my hair, your video has been very helpful and I’ll definitely be sticking to more of the spray on type products. ♥️🌻

[@ArsonBeanTanks]

I'm 4 and a half months postpartum and HOLY the hair shedding is real! Thanks for the tips!

[@ArsonBeanTanks]

Like, your 6 day hair ball is the size of a 1 day hair ball of mine. It'll grow back some day, right?? 😭

[@ManesByMell]

YES IT WILL! You got this momma 💖

[@Melissa-cy9se]

Thank you for this video! My hair is exactly what you described: bleached, fine, high porosity and low density. Basically super difficult to work with, and my #1 goal is volume and hiding my scalp, which is why things like the Denman brush don’t work for me (I would end up with like 4 curls lol). The pick trick to lift the roots when diffusing is BRILLIANT! 🤯

[@UnapologeticallyAmanda]

I LOVE that Morccanoil leave in! It has SO MUCH slip!

[@saretin86]

We didn't even see the video yet, but we are already excited! Now this is a true community of believers I guess. XD Love you Mel, I'm waiting patiently.

I want to watch this as soon as it premieres but that’s 6am for me on a school day so I’ll definitely watch at break or in class who knows Also congratulations on 400k you deserve everyone of them your funny, very helpful, caring, kind, pretty, stunning and just a great human bean Goodnight can’t wait for this video tomorrow

[@hilgeywilgy3671]

Yes! I love when there is surprise videos!😁

[@aranzart3642]

I can not thank Mell enough for his video. She has changed my world, really, and this video is the cherry on the cake ⭐🌈. I have thin and low density hair so I tried this routine and I finally got to see my hair ¡big, fluffy, wild and beautiful 😍! A dream just came true 😭. That's why they have 400k subscribers and more on the way 🤩. This is the one and only Textured hair channel. 💫

[@cquin03]

Most helpful curly hair video on KZbin!! Also your hair looks amazing in this video!

[@cathyh675]

Thanks for this. My hair has always clumped together and made it look straight most of my life. The last few years I found out my hair will curl, but because the under layers clump together they appeared only slightly wavy. I just started trying texturizing spray in my hair and it made a huge difference. I'm ashamed to admit, though I've been diffusing my hair wrong and ended up plastering my roots to my skull leading to some super funky parts all over my head. Curly hair is a lot of work, but far easier than the frizzy mess I thought was straight. Your channel has helped me a lot!

[@abiy7631]

Omggggg yessss I have been wanting to watch you and your seester Amanda!! I’m excited!! My hair is close to the 2c side than actual curls, but it’s confusing cause I have a few ringlets. Usually I either have definition or volume never both at once😂😂

[@harvestmoonfam]

Congrats on 400k! You and your seester definitely deserve it after all the effort you put into these videos to make them one of a kind :)

[@ManesByMell]

Appreciate that thank you

[@melaniemiller7961]

The bloopers 😂🤣 Love the big hair! I struggle... I have fine hair... but I also don’t care to diffuse. But I will def try these tips/tricks when I plan to go out!

[@cathismith2624]

I don't/ can't diffuse either. When I've tried, it just gets a ton of halo frizz, and I end up with almost straight hair if I try to do it upside down!!

This is why I love your channel.

[@kimpica7359]

Oh my goodness God bless you!!!!! I did exactly how you said in the video and I’m very impressed with how big and beautiful my hair looks!!!!! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu

[@arianeblondin5036]

Now THAT'S the video I've been waiting for!! I have like one fifth of the amount of hair you have, and as much as I want to follow your normal hair routine the definition means my scalp is way too visible. I know I have to use way less products and not too much near the scalp, but now I get to try your tips and see what happens! Yay!

[@newday2]

I needed this my hair is super fine . When I try to style it curly it just ends up looking even thinner and stringy and oily. It’s so frustrating!! And if I put nothing in it it will curl when it’s wet and then go straight 😢

[@tammybranham8223]

Thank you for another great, informative video! I also appreciate the new series on thinning hair as at 50 years old this has become an issue for me :) I have salt and pepper curly hair, which I actually really love! Although it is ridiculously hard to find any info/help for grey specific curls. In case you are in need of ideas, I would love to see what you have to say about the greys! ;)

[@TheMikero]

@@lyndajose603 That's great! I got fades my whole life and now only in adulthood am learning how to have big curly hair.

[@lyndajose603]

It's so freeing to just let it be and do what it do! I used to straighten my hair for years, trying to tame and to look "presentable" for work... But after burning it to a crisp I let it just be natural, and totally love it now 💯

[@zeenag1904]

I can’t wait to try this. Normally when I style without a brush, my hair ends up looking scraggly, but I think I’ve never had enough water. Going to try again. I use boucleme products because I find them lightweight and I can get some good volume, and foams and mousses can’t seem to be able to hold my curl for longer than a day (boucleme lasts me 4-5 days).

[@natashacollins1850]

Oh man! Got here before the video?! Whatttt ready for this one. For real, my roots never have any volume. We bouta change that!

This is awesome Mell. I've been so focused on definition but have been missing my volume. I'm definitely trying this on my next wash day!

[@soakupthenoise]

if you're thinking about getting a steamer, you can just use a teapot and leave the lid on to produce a good flow of steam! also if you are using a steamer regularly, make sure you either have a dehumidifier or are airing out that room regularly, as high humidity can lead to mold problems over time.

[@secretsloth2250]

This is exactly what I needed! I've been watching your videos for about the past year (after I gave up on CGM due to not only lackluster results but also excessive hair fall and an itchy scalp and had no idea where to go from there) and my hair has been looking so good. However, since I have fine hair and low density I keep complaining about my hair being so small. Thank you so much for this! Good thing is I already have most of the products mentioned (or similar ones) so I just needed the method. Big hair, here I come!

[@Dez112]

I would love to see what this method would look like on your new cut!
