WHY AREN’T YOU USING HAIRSPRAY IN YOUR CURLY HAIR ROUTINE? (Advise from a hairstylist)

[@galafly]

Another great video! Thanks Mell. Could you possibly do something on greying curly hair....the science behind why it changes so much when greys start to take over the natural colour? I know you are young and don't have to worry about this right now, but it's something that is lacking in your menu of videos and I know you have fans who got the greys too! Love your style!😊

[@sashapekler6883]

After I chopped my hair I had no idea how to style it and your videos have helped me love my curls all over again and have a new appreciation for them!

[@mrspress8057]

For me, using hairspray is a must. Finding the right one(s) can be a struggle. I use several different ones every time I style my hair.

Hi Mell- Thank you for this one, I'm a curly girl that uses hairspray especially in the Summer. Some of my faves that I rotate are 1. Air Dry It by Loreal- frizz resistant w flexible hold. 2.

I love hairspray. It gives me more volume and some protection from frizz. And keeps it in place. I was a teenager in the 80s and had big hair and used a can a week. Though I didn't use the best hairspray back then but there weren't many choices. 85 cents for extra super hold aqua net. But once in a while, my mom would buy me sebastians' shaper hairspray from the hair salon. Aqua net would leave build up on my hair. Now I use much better hairspray. Ha ha

Have we ever asked ourselves if our ancestors who used to wear their curls proudly used all this products? I don't think so! Your hair doesn't need all this

[@beaniebop84]

I totally agree with you! I love Mel and I wholeheartedly Trust her when it pertains to hair tips. But I tried everything that I’ve seen from her videos and other Influencers. But what works for me & gives me perfect curls is Mousse & Hairspray! That’s it, That’s all. And my curly hair looks perfect with just those two products and lasts for days, sometimes a full week. I also notice when I moisturize my hair before styling l, it makes it frizzy smh… so I converted back to the same Regimen that I used my whole entire life. We truly do Not need all of these products, we just need to find the products that work best for us

You have the choice to NOT be influenced by these influencers/youtubers. They create videos on this topic so that we are aware of the products and get some reviews, in no way they're trying to force us to use any product. I just stick to affordable daily shampoo, clarifying shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave in creams and gels. That's all. Once in a while I try new brands because I get bored of using same old stuff. It's your choice after all how you choose to do your hair. My friend has curly hair and isnt into CG much. She just conditions her curls and let them be just like that. What you want to do with your hair is your decision. And it's influencers job to keep talking about new products, brands, techniques and trends but who said it was mandatory to follow it all?

Hi, love your videos. I'm a fellow hairdresser myself and I have similar hair to yours and your sisters, I just want to answer myself and say I personally hate hairspray even when my hair is styled straight.

I like my curls soft and bouncy actually and my texture it just doesn't like hairspray lol but I like how you explain it and everyone's curls are different to. I would love to see other people using it to see the style and hold it gives others.

I have only recently started to play with stylers to embrace my waves. Nobody in my family had wavy or curly hair so all stylers and how to style were foreign to me. Hair dressers were no help who would style me straight years ago. So I just went product free for years. It's only since I discovered the curly girl method and saw styling videos on KZbin. And I grew up in the 90s when gel was supposed to leave your hair crunchy, and hairspray was so your hair won't move at all. I feel like embracing my waves has me embracing my waves and taking an entirely new mindset regarding stylers that I always felt were bad for my hair due to buildup.

Recently, she said she wished she didn't have curly hair, and that breaks my heart. I want her to love her curls like I love mine. PLEASE give me some advice. Thank you

[@imajenn3006]

Sorry she isn't liking her curls. That is tough. Have you gone to a stylist that specializes? If you can, that may be a good step. I would also emphasize that the hair you see on YT is not... realistic. Its in front on cameras, usually right after a wash & style. Lighting makes a huge difference too. Look at some of their pre-wash or day 3. People (myself included) get caught up in an 'anti-frizz' that is not realistic... and was pretty damaging for me. I don't decide how I am going to treat someone based on some frizz, and so I need to not judge myself... and realise noone else is judging me (which would be super hard at 11) I have low porosity hair (very fine, low density, caucasian) & I have really been liking the LUS All in One (wavy would be my rec). It is a leave-in with the hold products of a mousse. I use a bit of a different gel with it, but that is my foundation. The porosity of the hair and how thick the strand is are the two main things to consider when buying products... rather than curl type. You need to look for care for low porosity hair that has enough hold for her curls. eVOLVH Wonderbalm ($$$ but it lasts a long time) is a silicone alternative. I also LOVE their deep conditioner (pricy, has protein thats small & safe for low po, and you don't need a separate mask asker, curl junky Repair Me is good, but heavier). Mel is all things knowledgeable, but I would find a few products for her porosity & texture/fine, coarse (watch mels vids on porosity)... Then look to some folks that have a similar curl pattern for styling... I think WavyGalla, GinaMarie, Holistic Enchilada (she has low density fine hair)...

[@KO-mj3uo]

Brush through leave in on soaking wet hair & add a bit of curl cream (not too much), that can be brushed through as well & just scrunch up (mico plop), either let it air dry or diffuse. My granddaughter has super long 3a spirals, all one length down to her lower back. My daughter only uses those 2 products on her hair. A spray bottle with a little bit of either product above on refresh days using praying hands & her curls spring right back up. She has an array of products since they both have curly hair but ik she likes Curls Blueberry Bliss, KKNT, Maui Moisture, also Cantu & Shea moisture kids products, ik the last 2 aren't always recommend but they work for her. Just remember less is usually more. I wish I could post a pic Ugh I rave over my granddaughter's curls every time I see her, I always say I trade curls as hers are so beautiful. Show her videos or get her a kid's book on curly hair. Tell her how so many wish they had curls but got stuck with straight hair, just a lot of reassurance. Sorry so long, Best of luck 🥰

[@gracedottavi3174]

I agree with the top two comments, leave in conditioner and maybe a gel or mousse. Brush style. Scrunch with tshirt & plop or diffuse. I have low porosity 3a/3b curls and my hair is fine with medium density

[@gracedottavi3174]

You need good products. Look at ingredients. Look for Shea butter, oils… I use Alaffia from Whole Foods (better than Shea moisture who changed their ingredients), kinky curly leave in conditioner, and Biolage Gelee styler ( not sticky at all). Put on wet hair, brush out in sections. And scrunch excess moisture out with a cotton tshirt. Other good moisturizing hair brands: Camille rose, Mielle, Curlsmith.. Check what the ingredients are in what she currently uses. My hair HATES aloe Vera, and it dries it out and is too much protein-yes, aloe is protein. Protein Heavy avoid. Hydrolzed silk, anything like that. Low porosity doesn’t need much

[@ManesByMell]

Hi April, of course I can help you out!!! For softer hair you want emollients - so definitely a primer&/leave in and mousse/gel. If it’s a finishing hairspray, it should always be last. But you can potentially use a setting (wet) hair spray over your wet hair before diffusing! Or, skip the hairspray if you want it to remain super soft 🫶🏻

[@gracedottavi3174]

Falling as in the curls aren’t holding? If so, check the length. Is your hair too long and heavy? Is your products too heavy? Are you keeping conditioning products ears down (off the roots)? Are you using any products with hold (gel, mousse or hairspray)? Are you using too much products? I had the HARDEST TIME ever finding the protein/moisture balance. My hair is low porosity (no heat, no dye), fine, 3a/3b curls. I was using products free of “protein” but after months of torturing my hair I realized that aloe and jojoba oil is protein. I currently follow a protein free routine and when needed I can use a protein mask. And if I really needed to I can use a leave in with protein. I go by what my hair needs and is telling me. Kinky, dry, frizzy, lack of shine = too much protein. Limp, stretchy hair, lack of definition=too much moisture.
