HOW TO AIR DRY CURLY HAIR WITHOUT FRIZZ + FASTER 

“The bigger the hair, the harder they stare!”. OMG I love it. I’m adding that to my “Big hair, don’t care!” mantra 😊

Everyone: Wash your hands, don't touch your face Mel: dOn'T tOuCH YouR hAir

people with straight hair: “it must be so easy to have curly hair!!! you just get up and go”

Seester Amanda we all appreciate how much work you put into editing these videos!!!

This whole process scares me. If my hair isn’t almost soaked, it’s already frizzing the moment I touch it 😂

Amanda: I need more product Mel: she needs more Jesus too 😂😂😂 Mel's energy reminds me so much of Raven from That's So Raven!! And it's the best!!🙌

I’d love to see the seesters do a make up routine. I know you’re the hair gurus, but your make up is also awesome! Perhaps, an easy natural make up look. I love your eye looks, especially the mascara (super on point, length and separation), tell us your fave lip products and gloss colors and easy natural eye make up routines. Just my humble opinion.

I just want to say THANK YOU. I started my curly journey last week. I was doing the CGM and was not happy with my results. I watched a few of your videos, TOOK NOTES. LITERALLY. My results were wonderful. I have a long way to go, but you are my go to for advice.

Curl Smith is really poppin now that nobody is using deva curl 👀 I’m gonna have to try them

Wow, can we talk about how amazing Amanda's curly hair transition has been!? I mean look at those ringlets and volume!!

I just watched this video and used this method. I CAN ALREADY SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN MY CURLS!!! My hair is softer, I have more volume, and now at the end of the day it still looks good! Thank you, ladies 🙂❤️

So grateful for each of you sharing your experiences! Super helpful to see how much hair type affects things, rather than one person saying, "air drying should take 2 hours!". I have hair more like Amanda's so sometimes it can take 5 hours to dry... ain't nobody got time for that.

I was literally trying to figure out how to dry my hair and getting frustrated with diffusing and then this came out in my notifs.

I get the best results when I air dry until it’s crunchy 30 min to 1 hour. Then I diffuse. It usually takes 10 minutes. Best of both worlds!

Thank you for giving tips specifically for looser curls as well! They’ve been helping a lot. I like seeing all the seester videos!

Hello Mell !! Thanks girl for all the info you're literally saving my curls ❤ and Amanda you're doing an amazing job with how you edit the videos 😉 it makes them so enjoyable

You both are beautiful! Thank you Mel for sharing your knowledge of curly hair textures; you’ve expanded my ability to work with multiple hair textures. ❤️

Looking amazing, ladies!! Thank you for bringing us great tips with sunny smiles ❤️

This is the reason why I got out of bed early today, You ladies brighten my morning and I am waiting for my curlsmith products to be delivered. I can't wait to apply these tips! Thank you so much 🤗

I have been watching your routines and can honestly say that you helped me to understand products and which way to apply to her hair, it looks the best it has in a long time after 6 hours at school, honestly!

Soooooo i dry my hair in my car on the way to work in the morning... I have the best vents and the heat and air is so gentle and I always get the best results. I do move my head and shift my hair, I probably looks crazy but it works.

Texture Tuesday is something I look forward to every week. I always feel like I learn something new

SUMMARY: 1. Start with clean, very damp and wet hair. Be careful if your hair is *soaking* wet because it could dilute and waste product. The instructions of your products will indicate you the correct way, so always read the instructions! 2. Apply your leave-in and brush normally so that it distributes through all your hair 3. Separate your upper part and style all your hair with the Denman Brush, always brushing away from your head. On the top part, try not creating any visible sections and style upwards 4. Wait for 10 minutes 5. Apply your gel using the "crab hands" technique and specially on the middles and ends. Then, scrunch. If you can hear that "squish" noise, your hair has the right amount of dampness and product. 6. Now let your hair air dry. Meanwhile, do NOT touch your hair with your hands, neither shake your head. Instead, try to gently keep moving your head around whenever you can so that your hair doesn't stays static and dries faster 7. If you have thick/coarse/long hair as Amanda and after an hour your hair is still wet, speed the process using your diffuser. Having your hair wet for hours can actually cause damage! 8. Once your hair is completely dry, finish it with an oil or a serum and break the gel cast 9. Fluff your hair with a pick for achieving more volume And done!!! Extra tips: *Lighter products will dry faster than heavier ones *More product amount leads to longer drying time *Try to always air dry your hair at home and at a ventilated room *Only air dry your hair outside if the weather conditions are optimal on temperature, humidity and wind *You can use a clip to gently pin your hair and remove it from your face so that you're more comfortable during the air drying process. It also may give you more volume *Remove some rows from your Denman Brush if you have a looser curl type as Amanda. Styling products used: -Curlsmith's Air-Dry Cream -Curlsmith's Hydro Style Flexi Jelly -Curlsmith's Intense Treatment Serum P.S.: this is something personal, but I would also recommend plopping your hair for (no more than) 30 min with a microfiber towel right after the styling. It really speeds the process and works great for me!

I found your channel about a month ago and have binged watch A TON of your videos but can I just say... Amanda you have gotten so much more confident in the sister videos!!! it’s so amazing to see that growth

I’m SO excited to try that new Curl Smith “Air-dry cream” and “Flexi-Gelle!!! I absolutely love their 3 step system!!! Also, thank you beauties for actually explaining what the benefit/reason is for taking the extra rows out of the Denman!🤗

Just used the Verb reset and it totally removed all product AND the awful hard water and my hair looks amazing. Thanks for the recommendation!!!

Brilliant! Yay!! This video answered so many questions I didn't even realize I had! Super useful!! See, this is why I love you two! 💕

Thank you so much for your videos, they have really helped me with my hair. I have wavy hair, but your advice has done wonders for my hair. I’ve had a really hard time figuring out how to care for my hair without frizz until your videos. I’m so happy with my results. Thank you so much.

I love your energy. I been natural for years but within the last year or so I fell off and started straightening n went blonde. I was looking at old pics and started to miss my fuller healthier curls when my hair was brown and now been watching your videos for motivation. My curls are slowly coming back to coils. I’m happy. On my way to buy more products. Thanks ladies

Thanks for the product recommendations! I've been looking for products to use for my spring/summer routine, can't wait to try these out!!

Dear Mell, I can't tell you how much your videos have inspired me to love my curly hair, take better care of it and put the curling iron down.💁💛 I'm still on my journey, but your videos have made the most sense and given me the best guidance and explanations. That being said, please do a video explaining different types of curly hair (the 2s vs the 3s vs the 4s) and maybe some general hair care tips for each type. 🙏

Love the curlsmith comparisons! Thank you! Curlsmith rocks ( and so do you two!)

Thank you Mel, your tips have been helping me a lot to embrace my natural curls and it's never been better 💞 it's rather hard to find products you recommend here but I just look for products with ingredients that you've explained in your previous videos. Love you xoxo

I am SO HAPPY thank you guys so much for this video and sharing your routine !! My hair has never looked this good❤️❤️❤️

YESSS! Super happy I found your channel rn, easily subscribed. I have neglected my curly hair for far too long and ya'll have encouraged me to EMBRACE IT. Time to start picking up these locks again!

We need Mel merch, "Honey if you're gonna air dry I'd rather you do it in the house" 🤣

My seesters are blooming !!! Those Amanda's hair are goaaaals 😍 Mell you are the curl Queen in youtube !!! Love you 🤗

Thank you for making these videos! I'm learning so much! I'm a curly girl and my hair is changing, I'm excited to try these techniques to get more definition!

I just bought this entire scalp line! I’m so excited!

😩 MELL I’m crying! You have no idea how happy I am I have followed all the correct steps to prep style brush products ect ect I took a shower around 6pm today & now my hair is fully dried & once I have seen the results I’m shooked . . I thought I lost my curl pattern/damage my hair ect I just didn’t do the right steps ect tbh & that was the case & I’m truly so happy! You’re so talented please know that & thank you so much for you & your sis taking your guys time out of your day to show us everything about curly hair ect ! YOU’RE GIFTED ! I’m so appreciative lol thank you so much SHHHHHHHHHHHESTER!

I love the banter and fun energy you both bring in your videos! Highly appreciating the facts you break down about the science behind our curl hair and what products work for different kind of curls. I have hair like Amanda's and I'm living for her methods! You girls rock! ❤

I just saw the first seester video, and the transformation in your seester's hair is amazing. What a transformation over 2 years.

"So, after all that yapping..." 😂 😂 Amanda should change her last name to Savage 😂 😂

I love your matching shirts. Where are they from? I am going to have to try your tip of waiting for a little while between leave in and products?

Perfect exactly what I needed!! You guys are so amazing and beautiful!! ☺️

I had been wanting to see in detail how you do the top of your head (especially Amanda!)! LOVE seeing both ways on different hair! Sometimes I do a combo! Thanks so much and please keep teaching!

Thank you much for sharing. I’ve had issues with getting my curls under control. After watching this video and following your suggestions my curls are amazing today.💕 who knows what sleep will do to them 🤦‍♀️ but I took a picture so I can remember what they can look like if I put in the effort and time. Thank you again!

I'm new here and I just love you both. I thought I could only be pretty straightening my hair because I didn't know hoy to take care of my curls. I am just starting to learn thanks to you and I'm loving it!

Review the Not Your Mother’s line PLEASE. I air dry with that and it’s 👌🏼

Thank you Seesters Mel and Amanda for this video tip of air drying curls. I have severe frizzy curls and my dry spot is the middle back of my curls. I'm going to try curlsmith products and keep you both posted. God bless you both always.

I love you seesters! Thank you for all of the tips you give. They are so helpful!!

I followed your instructions for a long curly haircut, and you saved my hair! It was easy to follow but specific enoguh for it to be understandable. I know it would be best to visit a professional but my city does not really have anyone that knows how to handle curls. Anyways I love how my cut turned out with your help! Thanks a looooooot.

I'm re-binging all of yalls videos! I LOOOOOOVE the curlsmith curl cream, it was the first Curlsmith product I tried and loved it! It blew my mind how wonderful it worked even on its own. Never before would I ever trust a cream on its own with my crazy head of curls. Now I'm addicted to this brand! I don't use a lot of products with protein but thinking I need to try them anyway! LOVE YOU SEESTERS!!

I so agree with this video! I noticed a lot of breakage in my hair after starting the curly girl method and air drying all the time. I already had some damage, but my hair is way healthier after I started diffusing!

You made me love Tuesdays❤

Yay!!! It’s Tuesday with my favorite sisters 👯‍♀️

My hair still ain't dry after 4 hours 😭

I really like this routine. Enjoyed all the tips and, yes weather must be perfect for air drying. Like the oil to seal the hair at the end. Curlsmith is fantastic. Own many of their products

Wow…i’ve watched tons of these videos, and you guys are the first ones to mention that u shouldn’t do a “part”🤙Thanks! that’ll add this to my routine !

Love this! 🤗♥️ Can't wait to try this out

Sooo this video was exceptionally GREAT. THANK you beautiful ladies!

Lol I’m so glad I found your channel!! Trying to embrace my naturally curly hair and on this bee hair journey. Loving your videos!!

I am not a fan of diffusing so I love air drying! Great tips on waiting to put gel on after the leave in/curl cream! Will be doing that! Too bad my hair is already dry after washing today, will try next time!

love you guys!! mell, you should do a video about box dyes since everyone is still in quarantine and cannot go to the hair salons yet! xo

Very informative. I’m a diffuser kinda girl. Usually airdry for 15-30 minutes, then diffuse the rest of the way. I haven’t tried curl smith yet, so that may be my next purchase. But in this Chicago spring, I really love the Aveda Be curly enhancer followed by Dippity go girls with curls gel, or my fave routine is Eva NYC mane magic products. First, prep spray, curl cream, then I either use Briogeo rice amino gel or the Eva foam. Thanks for all the tips. Semester videos are the best!

Amanda and I have the same curl pattern but I WISH my hair was as dense as hers. I have very fine hair and low density. Love it so much.

I don't even have curly hair but I'm here for the science facts.

I have always hated my curly hair. It's so frizzy and thick! I'm now realizing I have been styling it all wrong for the last 29 years 😬. I definitely need to follow your steps!!

I love air dry creams! Been using air dry cream for 2yrs and love it. Acts like a anti frizz primer too.

"More on the wet and dripping side" Lol I put in my styling products in the shower specifically because if my hair dries a second, it does horrible

Love, love love #Texture Tuesdays. As always, lots of helpful information. I wondered why peeps removed rows from their denman brush...Thanks for clearing that mystery up me. I'm going to try taking out a few rows to see if it helps my fine wavy/curly hair clump better. Plus I need to practice the technique. Wash day can't come fast enough.

Ahhh thank you, Amanda. We have very similar curl patterns and textures and I think I need to take out some sections of my Denman brush.

Such beauties you two girls are! I am also appalled at the efforts you'll are taking to give us the information. Thank you.

Thank you for explaining the damage that can occur with air drying. I've been doing it but I swear my hair was healthier (not curlier) when I dried it. But I'm learning to fix what products/ techniques I use..and i think I'm going to start diffusing instead of air drying

I agree it’s amazing how much work you put into this channel even doing research for us I cannot imagine staying in one place for two hours I’ve never ever had a problem with hair drying I would even finger curl it the whole time and it was beautiful but now I cannot even get it to look curly without a diffuser I think it’s because I bleached my hair blonde double processed it w breakage is this why my curls have gone away???

Y'all are so cute! And it's so awesome seeing curly girls from Canada so I know what products I can actually get here!

Wooow great video thanks! Definitely gonna try this set out

wow you girls are amazing! Going to add this to my routine!

yessss i’m early! this is why i LOVE Tuesdays 😍❤️

Thank you guys for helping with my curls❤️

Both the section about brushing against the hair part to give better lift and the section about the “dance” to give the roots better ventilation is exactly what I needed for the mess that is my 3a hair.

My order is coming Friday I can’t wait!!!!

I haven’t even watched the video yet but I live you guys so much and I always look forward to texture Tuesday’s!!😂😂

Love their hair and videos! 💕👏🏼

Your hair turned out amazing and btw has anyone noticed Amanda is GORGEOUS

Awesome ladies 🌹🌹I’m learning a lot from your videos, thank you 😊.

Both of your hair looks great air dried. Definitely will get these products bc I usually air dry. Thx for info

LOL! I just started watching your channel and I had to subscribe! Not only are you girls good with the hair and products you discuss but you are very funny 👏👏

Literally the only reason I ignore curlsmith is that they aren’t sold by target or amazon prime (I refuse to pay for shipping lol.) Great hair styling tips!

Sis!!!! You just save me 🙌 i always do air dry for my hair and i get some frizz , this was very helpful 😊

Thank youu for this !!! I love & appreciate you ladies !!! - With love, from Pennsylvania

You ladies are gorgeous 😍 Love you both!!

Since I have high porosity hair, air drying never works for me! Must be because of the cuticle damage like you said. Love the results you both got! 😍😍

I love your scientific explanation for everything!!!!!

I absolutely loveeeeeee your hair! HAIR ENVY big time 😬 I’m currently transitioning my hair... Hopefully I can show my hair journey on my channel someday soooon xx

Where did you ladies get those adorable tops?! I almost couldn't focus on the information because I was distracted by how cute your outfits are!

You’re so funny! I enjoyed the video. I just found out about this product. I’m excited to start using.

I went on holiday with my white friend with straight hair. In the morning she would use a leave in/detangle spray and brush her hair. Thats it. That was her routine. Shiny long golden locks she got. I was shook.

Love this so much! I do like air drying and yep like Amanda my hair takes forever to dry so I tend to wash it in the morning.

I typed up manes by mell to find another video of you and my hairs wet right now and I hate when it’s wet and I have to leave it to air dry because my hairs damaged and this popped up well thanks :)
