TESTING THE VIRAL ROLLING COMB BRUSH VS THE DENMAN BRUSH ON WAVY, DAMAGED, CURLY, & COILY HAIR😲

[@gentlelikefire8392]

Thank you mell for never forgetting the 2 type textures !!!!

[@ManesByMell]

🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️

[@patriciarincon3623]

Yes! Please more of the 2 type texture ❤😢

[@mariefaulkner1940]

Yes please 😊

[@lignimejias]

Thank you! I'm still new at this and you help so much.❤

[@HisLove4You]

Amen to that!!! I was thinking my hair type is similar to her mom's- but with more damage because I've been blow drying and had it highlighted too!

[@hilareejones]

I would love to see a good beginners tutorial for 2a / 2b wavy girls ( products, brushes, techniques ). I just discovered I have this combo and would love this!

[@SusanSvoboda]

Me tooooo!!!

[@tigriss007]

Swavy Curly Courtney on KZbin has wavy hair, thus tons of tutorials. Mel has coily hair, so wavy isn't her thing much. She does have some videos on her cousins that have wavy hair. But going with a KZbinr that has wavy hair is best.

[@noodles.dumplings.kimchi2878]

where do i sign this petition??

[@louannbruce6252]

MmmmK, but I love Mell, and she teaches lots of things we can adapt for wavy hair. Today’s video is a case in point.

[@tesstrainor3572]

I love that you used different hair models to showcase this brush. I have wavy hair and think this would be great for me.

[@MayaAsakura]

Me too I love when you put the model to do it herself 😂 it was hilarious when you asked her to do it a second time.

[@jacquelinekenknight9280]

I love doing the denman brush curls they showed on my wavy hair. It is the best way to define my hair that I’ve found. ❤

[@DanteVelasquez]

**Side note! Yesterday I watched a livestream with Glam Girl Gabby and Blowout Professor; two other channels I follow religiously like yours. You were brought up by several viewers during the stream because Gabby and Chris do not know curly hair. Gabby would like you to join them for a livestream one day and we were all here for it! It would be so great if you and Amanda could be present to represent us and teach them some new things, especially as Gabby has naturally wavy hair that she does not feel good about (but I think is beautiful the times she has styled it wavy). You could give her great tips to style her natural waves 🙂

[@janiceteves]

You have helped me change my hair so much! Your curly hair knowledge is BOMB!

[@MarilynSmith-qj5ru]

Me too! She’s changed my curly life 🥰 this is one tool I won’t be trying tho!

[@efvaughn]

I love y’all’s mom so much. She’s such a vibe

[@nikki2370]

I've started using the verb curl foam recently and creating a heavier cast with my hair that likes lighter weight styles but loves a hard cast, and I love it. So much

[@DanteVelasquez]

I could have sworn you had reviewed that tool before LOL. To me the Denman curls looked better on everyone. Never saw that fine tooth comb coil that was excellent. Yes to the finger coil livestream. My curls tend to clump so much if I use these methods that I have to spend so much time separating them too so they are a no go for me. Your ribbon curl method is my go to now and I always get the best results ... I will forever be in your debt for that 🙂

[@anarey-oktay2683]

Seeing your lovely mom on the show is such a treat!

[@SilverHair73]

Ha, I literally laughed out loud at “If you’re not giving founding father…” 😂 😂

[@etcetcfreaak]

Your mum is super sweet. I loved her hair as well!

[@Juliechapleau]

TikTok made me buy it. I used it to lift roots at my refresh. So far I like!

[@darlasearle5955]

I love that you also demo on a variety of textures, thanks!!

[@HisLove4You]

Your mom has the most amazing smile! Thank you so much for this. Ive learned that it's just too much work for me! XO❤

[@nanita6310]

First of all, Ponytail is adorable! Second, thank you for sacrificing your hair for us. "I hate this." 😂😂 I can not see myself using this because it takes so much time

[@cindytaylor5884]

Awe thank you for the knowledge, for trying different tools , techniques , product knowledge and reviews , for not forgetting those is us who have waves/curlsAND FOR THE COMEDY ( you and your sister) which makes your channel the perfect combination and so enjoyable to watch!!!!!

[@lyndas1842]

Thank you for all ur wonderful curly hair videos! I’ve only been wearing my natural curls for about a year and have learned SO MUCH from you!

[@korrinamares]

Your mom's reaction is everything to us curlies🥰

[@joiceraiana]

I actually loved the results of the dingleberry looks really good

[@amyestrada1966]

I did hear that there was going to be a football game at the Usher show Sunday.

[@ManesByMell]

I am READY for usher ❤️‍🔥

[@sararayas5925]

If not for your videos I would have permed my hair straight long ago! I have crazy curly hair and lots of it too. I always rock the Afro because I never knew the proper steps to care for it. Now that I’ve been watching your videos and taking your tips, my hair is like it’s never been before! I’m determined to actually grow it long. Can’t believe I ever wished for straight hair! Thank you for everything you do Mel. You are a blessing!!!❤️

[@marilyncubela9905]

Question: May we see you style your mothers wavy hair with the bounce curl styling brush?

[@juliegraham4712]

I would also like to see this. I'm not having any luck with that brush with my wavy hair.

[@HelloRascals]

I am new to CGM and struggle with sectioning too. Was relieved to see the way Amanda did it 😆

[@Cathybara309]

I love all your videos, but these kinds are fun! I finally ordered the Bounce Curl brush after your review video and I'm so excited to use it!! Love you seesters!

[@ManesByMell]

Yay thank you!! I know I’m having so much fun with these videos too, and I’ll be sure to keep em coming, thanks for watching ❤️❤️

[@vg3596]

​@@ManesByMellI'm also ordering the bounce curl brush because of that review, thank you for your fun but informative videos!! (side thought - any way you might possibly consider more contrast in your shirt choice? It's probably because of watching from a smaller screen, but I do find it more difficult, visually... just a thought, from a very appreciative fan!!! 😘

[@RogueHereThereSugah]

It was so nice to see your Mom! I too wear my hair in a top not like 99% of the time, but my hair is healthy so it still curls pretty nicely when I spend the time on it. I’m too lazy to do it often though. I wish curls didn’t take so much time to make look nice.

[@cecif9419]

So happy you mentioned wetting your hair everyday thanks so much. I wish I had a steam room in my house lol. Cause I love my hair while I’m on vacation. After my baby I had a lot of hair loss but my hair had finally grew back and my curl pattern is better than ever. I stopped using heat to style my hair and I think it has made a huge difference!

[@hippeeatheart479]

Do you think one is better than the other for thinner hair? I’ve learned my hair has a natural texture but am still learning which lightweight products to use and how to take care of my thin hair. But seriously though, omg I’m subscribing and coming back, this is the most thorough and informative video I’ve ever seen. Love it, thank you!!

[@maggiej616]

Well said mama 👏🏼 I follow what works for me not the other way 😅

[@AriannaAguillen-qu2ro]

Have been waiting all day I always look forward to texture thursday

[@AnasAnas-lc8hl]

Wow .. this is like a full research, thank you

[@Navalgazing]

I really struggle to use the Denman for brush styling on my 2b wavy hair. The alternative Dingle Hopper you linked, might just be the answer AND if nothing else I can use it for root volume at the crown and part. THANKS MEL!

[@AshleiShipp]

I love how the hair looks! I think the denman brush does a good enough/similar enough job to not need both if you don’t have the money. Have you looked into the split end trimmers? I really love the idea but I don’t know if they are actually good to use.

[@deanna5671]

Happy Texture Thursday!! Excited to watch!!I've been on the fence about ordering this brush!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘

[@julesjmj5682]

I'm glad you bring on Amanda for some of these videos! She has the same curl type as me. My hair is down to my mid back, and is so freaking thick it causes me a headache (my ponytail is the size of a silver dollar). My daughter, has the same hair, but as a toddler. We have our wash days, and my dear husband knows that we are not going anywhere when those wash days happen because it takes FOREVER to dry both mine and my daughters hair. I struggle with the Denman brush just due to how long mine and my daughter's hair is so it's nice to see other brush types that can work with our length.

[@elizabethwillars838]

I love this! I have hair that used to be closer to yours and Amanda’s, but since my curl is from hormones (born with stick straight hair and curled at puberty), now that I’m approaching menopause, my curls are closer to waves, and need so much encouraging to fully curl. Closer to mom’s hair now. I love the results on the dinglehopper for mom!!

[@louannbruce6252]

I’d like to see more wavy styling tools and techniques plus tips for stretching wavy wash/style day out to day 3 and maybe 4 for some.

[@chrysta9057]

Very good! I don't think I will purchase one of those hair weapons but I'll certainly try to make better use of the Denman (if I am not too lazy and I can master the technique 🤔). Tip: maybe avoid wearing black when demonstrating on dark hair as it was difficult to see (or are my eyes not working??)... ❤

[@LinaFMorales]

Thank you so much for showing different types of hair. I would like see to an affordable alternative to all these products for every hair texture. Thanks 😊 ❤️👩🏻‍🦱

[@brooklyn1461]

random hair question! 😅 If you shower 1-2× a week or longer what do you do in between wash-days if your hair gets tangly? (wet/dry brush?) refresh?

[@jenncheng2868]

Thank you for the response about wetting your hair everyday. I am learning this curly journey and find the curls do NOT stay over night. I use a bonnet to sleep protecting it that way. So I thought it was okay to spray and diffuse your hair everyday then fully wash on day 3/4

[@jenelle120120]

I love your channel and your personality! It’s so fun to watch you and your sister but to bring your mom in on this was so fun! And I always learn something from your videos! Thank you thank you ❤

[@lynzicollins8131]

Happy texture Thursday! Can’t wait to watch ❤❤❤

[@lesann1896]

I went back in time checking out some earlier videos 5 years back! Can you do another updated 10 most necessary tools and products not just for curly hair but for combination wavy curly hair! Mine is almost exactly like ‘Tiff’ who had combo wavy curly highlighted blonde hair! Also reminder link video of how to determine curl type, thickness and porosity for those of us who are newa to view ya. Thanks :)😊

[@heatherh3099]

I had no idea I could use my Denman brush in this way. Can't wait to try it with this technique!

[@Stephanie-ku6uv]

I knew i saw that device that wants to be a brush! I love my bob, thank u! Still my bangs are a whole different story, video on bangs pleaaase😅

[@safari335]

Thank you, your vid will be a real help for lot of people

[@christina6254]

Your videos make me so happy. I loved seeing your mama (aka Ponytail Mom). I had no idea the Denman could be used this way-so excited to try it!

[@MayB_D]

I just love watching you! You’re so funny and entertaining as well as educational for us curly gurlies. 💜💜💜

[@natalierennebeck3767]

Mell: "Try again!"😌 Amanda: "Noouuh.."🥺 Love yall!😄❤ Thank you for all the education and advise you give on here!☀️💐

[@XxRubberDuckyGirlxX]

Hi Mel, I usually cut my own hair and it turns out great but as i’m growing it out and it’s close to Amanda’s length I need to reshape the layers with a cut. Can you show us how you did Amanda’s cut with more detail on sections,slices and angles you used?

[@StephanieLarsen123]

Thanks Mel, always fun to watch your reviews

[@auroramoore2161]

Any tips for when you don’t have the energy to style, but you need to wash?

[@maggiej616]

Hey Mell! Looking for a new shampoo and conditioner recommendations. I’ve previously used the verb and rizzo curls as well as curlsmith. Looking for a new one to try out please 😊

[@rchltrrs]

I'm more wavy than curly, and I have inconsistent patterns in my hair. This looks promising for me. I think I'm gonna try the brush curls!

[@juliaw.3063]

Gotta say, I'm already in love with the dingle hopper ❤ How come I haven't heard about it before?

[@GenaMarie]

Your mom's hair turned out beautiful! 😍

[@AngelCaroline]

Thanks for showing on the different textures I’m looking for the easiest to form curls in my 2a- maybe I’ll look into that Amazon version!

[@laurenmakenzie6353]

I use a denman brush on my wavy/curly hair and it brings out the most beautiful ribbon curls. It definitely takes a while but I love the way it looks!

[@dsmith199]

I love Mel's hair like this!

[@LucretiaPearl]

My waves/ curls tend to go to semi sausage curl when I do my quick Denman brush-through, scrunch with Curlsmith gel, air dry & gentle uncrunch later. Which I really think works pretty. But I may have to try the Denman brush version of this when I want to look extra cute & have the time & motivation. 💕

[@deborahBoylan]

Wow! What a tutorial video ! Just discovered you and am now a subscriber. Good job you x

[@ivetteortiz2319]

“THE DINGLEBERRY” 15:50😂😂😂❤

[@lesann1896]

Seems like a lot of work. I just just lay on my bed belly side down - head hanging after adding product and diffuse. Seems to work great for me.

[@ManesByMell]

I love that for tou

[@sophiaaloeristok]

I love that you are ALWAYS so thorough with the experiments for us, thank you!!! ❤❤ I was really surprised by the results for wavy hair! I think on my curly hair though, it takes toooo longgggg lol

[@rominapq]

Dingle hopper is more efficient. I think I might try it :)!

[@ChallieWallie]

11:56 wrap the strand around your finger like you do around the brush handle, thus all the way to the roots. And then pull your finger out. That would have the same result as the brush.

[@hera710]

I cheaper out and got the Amazon dinglehopper. I feel like the little “teeth” on the sticks grab the hair and pull at it more when trying to roll in. Much prefer the bounce curl brush!!!

[@neonsaltlamp1999]

Hi Mel! Could you please do a gym hair routine for your shorter hair? I've been struggling!

[@nancymcdermott880]

Great and thorough review, thank you! I'd watch a live stream!!💗

[@KarenBURGESS-f3w]

I have that denman brush and never knew this technique, subscribed

[@aprildegele1510]

I love your videos! So honest, so funny. You're certainly not boring. I have no idea what to do with my hair. All my life I've had board straight but dense baby hair. Didn't hold with any product, heat, back-combing, Aquanet purple (concrete in a can). L'Oréal came out with a hurricane-proof spray that was no shit in the mid 80's, but you could hardly wash it out, so it disappeared. In the 70's, a poodle perm was all the rage and because my mom had one, us girls had to match. Dead spot (where it wouldn't curl) about 2 inches from the root. Fried the ends because, why would you ever try to perm baby hair? I was a little miffed when my brother's hair went kinky curly at puberty. Now, post menopause, I started to grow my hair out because paying a pink tax every 5 weeks for a pixie irritated me. I'm retired, so I can do as I like without expectation. Lo and behold! My hair came in something like your mom's hair. Started like the mannequin at first, but now I have volume I've never had and soft curls I have no idea what to do with. Also, much of it is finally silver (about 70% ) and I LOVE it, but it's more course than my natural dark ash blonde. In the front, it hardly curls at all. However, if I hit it with a brush and turn it under (my hair isn't quite to my shoulders yet), it stays, which tells me it has potential. Which brush would you recommend? I'm thinking the Denman, but I'm not fancy and hate spending hours on my hair (I see why folks in earlier times spent an entire day on their hair). Then again, I need volume at the root, so the Dingle Hopper seems a good choice (I love that name for it. If I were you, I'd design my own brush and name it that ... while getting clearance from Disney of course). Or, you could call it "Dingleberry" as your sis did, or something like "Dingle tex" (texture). I also need super-light products and am not interested in using a lot of crap in my hair or spending a huge amount of time on it. I'm as low maintenance as it gets. Air dry (until it's long enough to dry with a diffuser and not leave fuzz). My hair is healthy and frizz free for the most part. Do you have suggestions for 70% silver baby hair for folks who only found out they'd gone softly curly after menopause? Do you have a connection with someone who does? I'll still watch your videos😁

[@Familylawgroup]

I have one of these from Aveda that I bought from them when they came out with the Be Curly line. I think I paid $15 for it. No one at the salon knew how to use it and I am glad I kept it safe for these years because I now know how to use it. Yeah!

[@CJbrieflittlecandle]

[@sfreire911]

Yes!! Im so excited for Usher!😂❤❤

How do these combs work w/ out heat ???🤔 my hair is 2' long ,poker straight...I don't see how the comb curls ??🤔

[@tovah2276]

Mell❤❤❤❤❤ You had me at DINGLEHOPPER…….🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤

[@leapintothewild]

I've used the Aubonacci for a long time (2 yrs?) and LOVE IT! It is the only thing that gives my very long, very thick 2c hair a root lift ! I also use it on my face framing layers that are straighter and frizzier otherwise. Personally, I would NEVER buy a fake amazon copy because if I remember correctly, the owner did all the work -- invented and developed the product and went through all the work to get it manufactured, and she deserves the sales! It's not like ripping off some huge corporate conglomerate -- this is stealing from one woman's pocket.

[@npsyntax]

Hi @ManesByMell, you put lots of work into this video! Would you please detail what you did to the mannequin, starting at 21:16?

[@tiffanybartholomew6568]

I love these tutorials Mel, you make me smarter and I recommend you to every curly girl. i've been using the nutri plenish replenishing serum and I'm wondering how many times do you apply it in between wash days? I used it last night and my hair was fire today and I want to keep the look tomorrow but I'm afraid of weighing down my fine hair. Thanks girl, you're so amazing and funny.

[@newchannelcalledtrimmyframe]

Please do a video for perm maintenance, products etc! Please! ❤

[@augustab131]

Gabby spoke very highly of you on her channel, recommended curly hair girls should check your videos out!! So entertaining!!

[@bloodmoon1586]

will you be doing a video reviewing beyoncé's new haircare line? it's meant for all hair types and uses patent pending technology

[@Tangobutton]

I literally bought something like this at Sally Beauty Supply in the late 90's for $3. I never used it and it went in recycle. My good old vent brush worked better for what I wanted (the forehead swoop). You do not need a special tool to lift your roots. You need some short hairs in there to help lift it up, some product, a blow dryer and a vent brush.

[@christinehorwath3392]

Yes!! That’s what I thought was so crazy as a little girl in the 80s I hated my curly hair and my mom would blow it out but it was curly at the roots still but since I didn’t style like I do now my curls were frizzy and poofy and crazy and my mom used a Denman brush on her bob straight hair her entire life since 78 lol and I had no clue I could have used it on my curls 😂😂 seriously when I first saw you using the denman brush I was like WHAT?? That’s my mom’s 1970’s hair brush?!!! It’s not for curls 😮😮❤. And then I stole her denman brush 6 years ago lol her 30 year old Denman brush I can’t believe it 😅😂😂❤❤

[@TheElfball68]

I was a kid in the 70’s and teen in the 80’s and had one of those bushes too. It was just a cheap brush from the 5 & dime back then lol wish I would’ve known back then how I could’ve used it on my curly hair instead of my mom drying it straight and pulling tons of it out because of the tangles. At least the curls helped make my feathered style easier to do with a round brush as a teen

[@christinehorwath3392]

Mel is this comb really good because it’s a lot of money. Do I need it?? ❤❤

[@jn3rd563]

Thank you this Is the video i Needed..straight wavy hair here

[@suttondawnmariemazar4680]

Thank you for this video! Love the comparison! But would love a finger coiling video. The live part is a SUPER PLUS!!!! I struggle with finger coiling extremely!! Just can't get the hang of it! I would love to finger coiling at least my front, around my face! Love ya both ❤ Oh did you get a new hair dryer?

[@AL-dy1lj]

Well.. these are my sausages on my dingle hopper side !!! 🤣🤣🤣 genius Mel, just pure comedy genius

[@kelley_stoll]

Would you suggest using a gel/mousse/foam before you brush style? I know in past videos you brush styled then put gel on. Thanks! And I love the content. Your mom's hair turned out great!

[@FaceItGrace]

Could you guys try a round brush for this experiment?!

[@curly_jas]

Its really helpful. I am really grateful to u for doing so much for us❤

[@maryambizzle8816]

Hi Mel, first of all love you and your sis soooo much 💓 secondly I have a problem 😭 I lost my curl pattern in some portions of my hair, they turned straight because of heat damage 😭 what can I do to bring my curls back without cutting it because they are healthy just straight in some places 😢

[@MzShonuff123]

I love Mel’s hair 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@morelove444]

Thanks for this video and showing your mom. More like my kind of curls. I will not be buying that brush, but it was in my cart. Thanks! Too much work and too similar. I already hate brush styling.

[@sharonzilbert3848]

Hi, girls! First of all, I'd like to thank you for all the effort and love you put into your videos. You have no idea of the impact you have on people all over the world. I am a 50-year-old Peruvian woman who spent most of her life fighting her curly. About a year ago, I discovered the world of curly hair care, and my life was forever changed. Now I love my hair. And you have played a vital role in this. You have become my hair guru! :) Now, my question is: I recently dyed my hair and bleached it. It is VERY damaged. I am already on Olaplex and looking into buying K18. However, I don't know how to combine an oil pre-shampoo treatment with Olaplex 3 and Olaplex 4C. Can I combine these three things? In what order should I use them? Could you please help me with that? Again, thank yo girls for everything. Peace!
