refreshing wavy hair with a foam and no diffuser \ heatless waves

[@margocardell]

Always great to see more wavy-haired content, and it's super validating to see you so confident and happy with your results! We have really similar hair texture and I love foam refreshes as well. I think I will give the no-diffusing a try next time and see if I can still achieve the Julia Roberts in Pretty Women vibes :)

[@melindab]

Yessssss🙌

Great vid! A tip with the scrunching- I do that too when air drying, and I found scrunching gently with a 100% cotton t shirt helps with frizz but also curl definition. Def agree with the pineapple not helping when sleeping at night, I just use a satin pillowcase and hope for the the best lol 😂

[@brendaoquin]

Great haircut. Can you talk more about that? Great cut for wavy, curly hair.

I have never been a fan of refreshing, but the NYM refresh foam is a total game changer!

[@joelee624]

I just want to say how your videos are so helpful & I love how you add in simple but specific things, like how you don’t sleep with your hair a certain way for example. I can get the info I’m wanting without needing to look through a bunch of your videos 👍🏻 (Although I am still watching a bunch anyways!)

[@cleolympics23]

I’ve been using your refresh technique and air drying bc I don’t have a hair dryer yet and it’s such a game changer!!!! My refresh day hair has been SO good!!!

[@melindab]

Aw yay!! That’s so exciting 🤗

[@theotherliz_13]

What's the difference between the refreshing foams and a mousse?

[@WaitingForTheSubway]

Same question !☺️

[@rebeccagarner3076]

Yessss! You just inspired me to try this and I'm on my way to air drying (I did cheat and diffuse partially because I was impatient). I honestly didn't know m hair had wave until a few weeks ago I always thought I was just frizzy!

[@melindab]

So exciting!!🤗🤗

[@mw5425]

What are your thoughts on hygral fatigue from refreshing with water often? I need to refresh my hair everyday but I’m afraid of that happening.

[@kaylawoodruff210]

I honestly love the NYM refreshing foam more than the NYM curl activating foam. I’m not sure why!! But I have like 3 bottles stocked up 😂

[@Kenz-x2m]

Hey melinda I too have tried the pineapple method and it doesn’t work so what I started doing is taking my hair twisting it really tightly and then wrapping it in a scrunchy and putting on the side of my head and sleeping.Not only does it make it more wavy it protects the waves that ice styled the night before

[@Solice]

Hair stylist here! You should definitely try the Sebastian whipped cream mousse. It’s a moisturizing mousse that literally leaves your hair with noooo crunchy bits I’m on my 2nd bottle of it.

[@arianaitzel235]

What are your thoughts on the Brigogeo curl cream?

[@marysusansusan]

To me it seems like your hair does better with less. I feel like that's pretty common with waves and looser curls, especially low-porosity hair. I feel like your hair has the potential to look even more defined and voluminous than you think :D

[@benedareisinger2650]

Yes!!!! I'm part of a fb group for wavies and I have said the same thing several times to different people who are struggling with the products they use. Less is more when it comes to wavy hair!! It seems, for me anyways, the less product and time and effort the better the results. I know with curly girls they can manipulate their pattern by stretching the curl out or making them tighter or just changing the curl type with using a denman brush. U can't hardly do that with wavy hair. It's only gonna do what it's gonna do and some days it's stubborn and won't budge an inch 😂😂 wavy is in a class of its own and comes with its own set of issues that's for sure 🤪🥴

Not Your Mother’s products leave an odd film on my hair and there is something about the way it smells…mostly it smells good, but there is something lingering that’s makes my stomach a little queasy…if it didn’t have the smell, the texture would be more than acceptable and I would definitely use the product…they do give great results!!

[@korinneguthrie]

I've been using the not your mother's refresh foam for about a month now and I get a similar effect.

[@ltejle]

I don't call that frizz at all! I like it, would rather have some volume than totally defined curls with no body 🙂 it came out great, I hate diffusing would rather just scrunch! The color is looking really good, too

[@Sarah-lo5ml]

Maybe a silly question but are foams the same as a mousse? X

[@melindab]

Not silly! This confused me too but foams are more light and airy. Mousses are thicker and expand when you spray them out of the bottle

[@9melissal]

Mousse is usually in a metal aerosol can, foams are liquid in a bottle with a foaming pump, think like foaming soap dispensers, and they have the same consistancy as a soap in the foaming pump bottles.

[@Sarah-lo5ml]

Thank you both. I tried your method this morning but I don't have foam. Worked really well with mousse. I literally started my wavy journey on Saturday so still very new to it all. I like the idea of a foam! X

[@melindab]

@@Sarah-lo5ml Aw yay!🤗

[@GretchenMosetter]

Can't you just reactivate wash day products with water? Thanks! I'm New to this curly hair life☺️

[@nataliaflores1398]

Stop scrunching lol, you're just adding frizz. Maybe just scrunch 3 times
