WHY I DON'T FOLLOW THE CURLY GIRL METHOD

A lot of you have noticed in many of my videos that I do not abide by certain curly girl method rules. You have seen me break rules like brushing curly hair, diffusing curly hair with heat, bleaching and colouring curly hair, using non-curly girl method approved products and more. Due to a lot of these actions, I noticed that I have seemed to stir up a lot of controversy in the curly hair / natural hair community.
So in this week's video, I thought I'd let you guys GRWM as I do my favorite curly hair routine, share my opinions about the cgm (what I agree with and what I don’t agree with), share some of my best curly hair tips, and answer your questions about why I don’t follow certain curly girl method rules!

What I encourage all of you to do is; do what feels right to you. The curly girl methods can seem like very strict rules and guidelines and make it seem like that is the only way to do things, when EVERYONES hair is so unique. So basically, if theres something you want to try, don't be afraid to do so. it will not kill you. Use a product or try that technique to see if it works for you, even if it isn't "allowed" . Also, just because something, a product, a technique, a style did not work for one person, do not be afraid to try it for yourself. You never know, it just might change your life. Take charge of your own journey and HAVE FUN DOING IT! It's just HAIR! And it's YOUR hair, so take charge of your own journey, stay educated by watching informative, life-changing KZbin videos, and again, DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT! XOXO, Mell

I was never taught how to take care of my curls as a child, so I brushed my dry hair until it was frizzy and just treated it like straight hair because I was never taught different!! thank goodness for youtube.

[@ASABEAUTY]

She basically predicted the deva curl mess with this video. We were warned!

[@e.oturgan8940]

Tbh..the curly girl methode is like a diet.i know silly comparison but it's true. It might work for a lot of people but at the same time it might not work for me. Its better to listen to your own body (in this case the hair) than listen to the majority. Just saying.

[@CaliHinojosaVids]

The CGM honestly made me lose my mind. It’s so high maintenance. I also feel like it’s just toooo much moisture for us wavies.

[@douglasvilledarling2935]

The one thing I love about the curly hair method is it has the world embracing their curls instead of fighting against them

[@Josalynibeth]

I need wavy hair videos !! 😢😢

[@ADayIn91]

Sometimes I get impressed how youtubers can talk for 25 min straight. When someone asks me something, I just give the shortest answers. 3 words tops.

[@mole_y_ajonjoli]

You should make a video of products like shampoo and conditioner you approve of that contain silicones and sulfates.

[@alysafalisha3730]

She’s bold for doing her hair with a cute sweater

“Your hair is unique, just like you.”

[@ebisu4870]

I think CGM is a good starter for really damaged shapeless curls, but there's a point where it doesn't help anymore

[@lennybennyy]

I love how people tell a professional that she's doing it wrong 😂😂

[@carissawright7249]

Mel's tips have transformed my hair. I'm nearly 32 and mixed race. I grew up with my gorgeous, white mum who has poker straight hair so she had no idea what to do with my 3B curls as a kid (bless her).

[@PlunderingDesire1]

I've been trying to loosely stick to the CGM recently, and found that coconut oil (which seems to be in 99% of "approved" products) has DEFINITELY caused me more buildup/issues than silicones ever did! x

[@finecurls2291]

You are the reason I started using sulfate shampoo and silicones AGAIN..AND I FEEL FREE LMAO 😅

[@bunniebie9269]

"plopping can make your scalp itchy due to the product running onto your scalp"

[@eluby]

I have ALWAYS, always brushed my curly hair.. in the shower...with heaps of conditioner in...with a wide toothed comb.

[@christabellaangel8196]

This gives me so much freedom. I hate how strict the CGM is and I feel guilty deviating from it. THANK YOU!

[@soteriafrench5915]

Dont ever brush your hair ONLY finger detangle?...naw, who ever started that got too much time on their hands you can definitely brush your hair just do it wet or damp. Love this video! You are also funny as heck!!😄
