Thank you everyone for watching and a special thanks to Nicol for doing this video with us! This was obviously our first time doing a video like this & we super inspired after watching Nicol's hair journey on her channel + seeing NikkieTuroials recent virtual collabs! I have been watching Nicol for years on RU-vid and I am so thankful that we were able to do this with her and to see her rocking her beautiful curls!! Please make sure to like this video if you want to see more like this on the channel! xoxo Happy texture Tuesday!!
Hi mell, I too have very dry and itchy scalp. What’s the products I need to use to overcome this dryness. If I do my wash day as once in a week, definitely it will start itching from day3 and I get heat boils as well. During wash day I lose lots of hairs, pls pls pls reply
Hey Amanda & Mell please I need help my hair is very damaged from coloring it often and it's curly but the curls ain't defined. Please help me, I want to look good for the holidays.🎄🎁🎄
Nicol I'm like you, I have very fine, thin hair but I've recently started embracing my curl and I love it . I do have one suggestion for you that the seesters probably don't think about bc they're blessed with thickness! You can go to Sally's (or probably any beauty supply store) and get Toppik hair building fibers and it will change the way you feel about your hair. I know it wasn't mentioned in the video but I am almost certain it bothers you like it does me that you can see so much of your scalp. This will end those worries, I promise and they have different shades to choose from as well as different methods to apply it. Just check it out, trust me on this one . I'm so glad to see women building one another up and helping each other out, I wish we could get to a place where we respected and uplifted one another without the threat of feeling like we're competition. Anyway ❤ your hair, you look amazing and hope this little tip from one thin, curly haired girl to another helps. 😉
Your hair is gorgeous!! My curl is somewhere between yours and Amanda's, but not nearly as thick, or long as hers, and I've found that I do better with a scarf, than a bonnet. The less the hair moves around, the better. My hair is always a hot mess in the morning with the bonnet, and I've never been able to do past "day 2" hair, and even that was iffy lol. I discovered the scarf last weekend, and I'm currently on day 3 hair. So, if the bonnet doesn't work for you, try a scarf.
@@ManesByMell Yas! I never quite appreciated my curls when I had longer hair. In the process of growing it out so I’m definitely saving this video for future reference.
I finally followed along with this video today.. and OMG holy definition batman!! My curls are amazing ! It was really great to see the same routine on completely different hair types and how the techniques still worked across both. I think this would make an amazing series. I think all your followers would kill for you to come and style their hair.. but the next best thing is watching you instruct someone with the same hair as them and see the sort of results they could get. Thanks for all the amazing tips, tricks and science. You really are a gift to the curly community ❤️❤️❤️
What I love is that Mel and Amanda prove time and time again that it’s not just about following some curly girl method....it’s about how to just take care of your hair over all. You don’t need any fancy ingredients or products. You can work with what you have in the store and in your head. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS VIDEO
Yes! Finally someone with thin hair and curls!!!! I'm always jealous of mels hair bc I have super thin hair and struggle with volume! A lot of curly hair products are made for thick curly hair and mine ends up flat on top!!!
More proof that Mell is a straight up MAGICIAN!! She's been fixing MY curly hair problems for YEARS now! Also.... I suddenly feel like I need a bob- Nicol's hair looks BEAUTIFUL! 👏😊 💜
I just want to thank you for educating me on curly hair. My 9year old daughter is the only one in the family that has curly hair and I have tried just about everything. She has hated her hair up until I found your channel. Her curls have never looked better and I catch her smiling at herself in the mirror now. ☺️ Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I just tuned in! I have very little hair yet medium coarseness. Right now, going to bed with wet hair is what’s working for me. Thank you for this EXCELLENT video.
Love this style of video! It would be so cool if you did a series like this and invited people with different curl types! (and genders!) It was so nice seeing the routine from start to finish with conversation and in depth instructions!
This detailed walkthrough is SO HELPFUL! Before this I could never figure out how you sectioned your hair so neatly when styling with the Denman brush (that part about the “mohawk” being no wider than your brush was such an aha! moment).
I love how Nicol looks so happy and is really trying and learn from Mel! Can we get a video like this with Amanda and another long hair curly girl too ?! My kiddo has long curly hair and it would help me out tryna enhance her curly long hair 😊
Even though my hair isn't fine I still found some helpful tips. My struggle with my hair is trying to get my underneath part of my hair to curl like the rest, sometimes it looks straight or a little wavy.
Mell's comment about speaking like someone with an accent is literally the story. of. my. life. I've been thinking that I'm the only person who does it subconsciously and so many people give me shit about it! It's great to hear that I'm not crazy and hey, it makes me pretty good at accents, defiantly a bright side to the struggle!
Edit: I applied some of these techniques to my wash routine and omg, no frizz! And defined curls! I fingercoiled all my sections and it made such a difference! So pleased! This was so helpful, it was like attending a masterclass. You are such a good teacher! I can't wait to try this tomorrow. I think my curl pattern is similar to Nicols (except my hair is halfway down my back) so I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Yes!! Thank you for focusing on FINE short curls!! Loved the video Mel and how detailed it was. Having curly hair is one thing, but short, fine AND low density curls chile.....the scalp ends up being the star of the show. Would love to see more videos like this! I struggle with triangle head (all the volume and density is at the bottom and the roots are stick straight. Out here looking like a geometry equation). Also a video on styling curly bangs!! With curtain bangs being in right now would love to see the curly alternative to that!! I have straight across bangs and God forbid there's a slight breeze or I suddenly walk too fast because I'll be stuck with a middle part the rest of the day. They never stay how I styled them! Anyway love you girls!!
I think it's very important to show your followers how to still slay this pandemic with technical support! And doing it online is sending the right signals! Many RU-vid influencers have young people watching. So it's more important to influence them in the right way Social distancing is so important! Thank you for being such a good influencer!!! ❤
Absolutely beautiful! This made me feel so much better and more confident about my fine/low density hair! I always wish I had thicker hair like Mell and Amanda but it's really nice to see the variety and see you teach other hair types how to style and love their hair. Thank you so much for all your amazing content!:)
This was fantastic. I loved the fact that Nicole's hair is shorter and less dense than Mel's and Amanda's, yet she received great results. Nicole, Mel, Amanda...you all look gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
This video literally just changed my daily life. I am turning 40 next week have have battled/loathed my low density fine curls my whole life. Literally a daily depressant. I just followed the tips in this video, and my hair now looks like it always should have! KEY INFORMATION! Thank you!!
So proud of you, Mell. I've been following you since your channel was teeny tiny. You made your way up by making truly high quality content and putting in the time and work.
Wow Mina your comment means the world! It’s such an honour to have amazing subscribers like you that have watch us along our journey and grown with us. We truly appreciate all your support &love❤️
This is EXACTLY what I needed! You girls are adorable and Mel- your expertise has really helped me get this fine, thinning (over 50) hair back to its curly self! xoxo
Her hair is so much like mine! I keep coming back to watch this over and over haha! Seeing this transformation gives me hope. ❤ Amazing video, you guys did a great job!
Omg her hair turned out so pretty!! Thank you seesters for doing this collab! Love to finally see someone with low density hair which is so hard to find on RU-vid!
I’m not one to comment much on videos but I have to say that you and Amanda have me tuning in every Tuesday. I have been pretty good with my curly hair for years but because of you, I have tried so many new products that I wouldn’t have known about. I’m happy I discovered you during quarantine and I am loving this new and different content!
Mell, your channel is my life saver!!! I'm japanese and have a curly hair, which is quite rare. Even if some people have a natural wavy textured hair, sleek straight hair is main stream and that is a strong image of "beautiful healthy hair". When I was kid, I have no idea how to style my hair , even didn't know my hair is curly always my hair was frizzy and poofy. I was so shy about that. So many people thinks my hair is really damaged and unhealthy, had shame my hair until mid 20s. 3 years ago I found your channel and your amazing advices completely change my life. Thank you so much! Sorry my awkward English.
Nicol inspired Amanda to join Mell😢. And Mell and Amanda inspire us every Texture Tuesday😄 And Nicol u r a remarkably quick learner. Everything Mell taught you, you learnt and executed perfectly. Very very impressive. And u have stunning curls. Good luck to you on your curly journey. And thank you so much for taking the time to collab with Mell and Amanda. Mell this entire video hit different. I know you are really passionate about helping others on their curly journey so seeing Nicol so happy with her results must mean so much to you And I can't wait to see who else features on Styled with Mell. This new series is really exciting😄 But Mell whilst watching this I had to pause and wonder. Does she really really know how special she is. She is sat here counselling, teaching and entertaining us plus having a complete consultaion with Nicol whilst doing her own hair!!!! You are incredibly special Mell Now with that being said how dare you try to demote Amanda to assistant😆. Amanda is whatever she wants to be: Manager, Producer, Executive I'm taking this to the highest court. Mumsey😢 I'm just playing Mell😂. I know u two always workout any disputes because most importantly you two are seesters and love each other very very much. Thank you both for a splendid Texture Tuesday
I was practicing my typing and putting RU-vid on for background noise. I heard your voices and Nicol's voice and it made me stop so fast and watch. All I can say is this was so great!!!
Oh MY God I am SO excited to see this video!!! I have almost her exact hair type; my hair is fine, very low density and is also cut into a short bob! My next wash day is Thursday, definitely gonna rewatch and follow along. Thank you for this collab mell!
@@Yes...but... so sorry, didn't see this until now! I get excited and ramble about hair a lot so sorry in advance for the long reply, but hopefully it's helpful. It does work pretty well, but I just rewatched the video and I do have just a tiny amount of beef with it; it seems like there are a few things mel didn't consider when it comes to hair as low density and short as mine or the guest's. So, the sectioning while going in with the denman brush works great for me now since I recently got really short layers right at the top of my head, but when I first tried it a year ago I didn't have layers and it felt pointless. I truly don't have enough hair to bother doing it in sections, so instead I borrowed from a different mel video featuring her cousins wavy hair where she flipped her head over and used the denman brush while the hair was upside down and it worked much better. I also don't apply any product while the hair is sectioned even now because, more times than not, I end up with way too much product in my hair and the results are flat and greasy looking. Also, when it comes to diffusing, I do the whole hover part on just my roots and while switching between being upside down and from side to side until mostly dry to achieve max volume. When scrunching the hair in the cup, I also do that upside down because I can get closer to the roots that way and therefore get more curl closer to the root. Mel has a dos and donts video for diffusing that advises against this, but it works beautifully for me personally. And just a note to really pay attention to where your clumps are when finger coiling/rolling. I noticed the guest grabbed easily 2 or 3 clumps in that front area and coiled them as one. Once her hair was dry, you can see that front piece looks completely separate from the rest of her hair because of this. Which isn't a bad look, I just personally don't like it on myself because it makes my scalp more visible to I make sure to only grab where my curls clump naturally. Overall, I really love the routine here and still use it to this day(albeit a more quick and lazy version unless I'm really trying to look good, but same idea still lol), but I had to play around with it and tweak it to my unique hair needs and preferences. I still have yet to try the thickening tonic. I really want to but it's just out of my budget. Other alternatives you can find on the cheap at drug stores are sprays that use sea salt or have "texturing" on the label. I also love spray leave in conditioners(Cantu has a great one) for a more weightless result, but if you can splurge I highly, HIGHLY recommend the weightless air dry cream. For the foam they each used, never tried either of them but most mousses/foams I've tried work just fine
@@Yes...but... EDITING TO ADD: I rewatched that diffusing video and I take it back, I follow that advice basically to the letter aside from when she says dont start scrunching with the diffuser until it's mostly dry. I hover the ends a little before going in, but that "too much shrinkage" comment applied moreso to curlier girls I feel like; as a wavy I'll take all the shrinkage and curling I can get! Lol. I also don't touch any part of my hair with my hands until 100% dry. Anyway, complete tangent and not at all what you asked, just wanted to clarify. If you haven't seen it, it's all good advice and I'd recommend it along with this routine (: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s7VoPWK-wEo.html
I'm so busy all the time being a frontline worker in school. You guys are the only ones I keep up with anymore. Thank you so much for the fun, informative, stress-relieving content. 💕
A video on basic braids or protective styles would be awesome! I struggle with braiding my hair and a how to for protective simple styles would be so helpful!
Omggg! What an amazing collab!! Maybe next we can help SWOOP out! She’s a beautiful curly girl with such LONG luxurious curly hair. She usually only does braid-outs because it’s too long for her to manage. She’d be another great collab!! Our Mane Gurl Mell with Spankie Valentine? Amazinggg!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
It's super refreshing to see someone with hair like mine. My hair is almost exactly like Nicols, from the length to how fine her hair is. I always thought something was wrong because of how thin my hair is and the fact that you can really see my scalp as I'm stying / when my hair is wet and now I feel more confident in my quest to having healthy curls!
This is LITERALLY the video I've been waiting for. Totally my hair type. I'm actually gonna get a big chop from below my collar bone and go as short as her in the video to get rid of my old damage that just wont curl anymore. I have my appt in 2 hrs! Super excited. She's also gonna do a b3 curl treatment.
Omg, I never knew my hair could look anywhere near like yours, until today!!! This was hands down the best curly hair routine video ever. I somewhat tried to follow your routine before but somewhere I failed and my curls were flat. Not today, today my curls are poppin!!! I’m too happy, I’m even writing a comment and I don’t do that. Thanks Mel, you have truly outdone yourself and made me feel like a curl queen!!
omw once again I've learned so much. I have fine texture hair. Will be trying this tips for my next wash day. Thank you Mell. Also yes I would love to see more of these collaborations
Her results were amazing! I remember leaving her a comment on IG to follow the curly hair god sent AKA YOU. This was an amazing collab. Would love to see more of this. 👏🙂
Hi Mel. I'm very grateful for this collab. You are a fabulous teacher .I too am on the same journey as Nicole. How can I get a list of the products used ?
😲... I followed this ‘tutorial’ and Mell I CANNOT thank you enough! When I was younger I had ringlets, but I hit 18 and it all changed! After years of GHDs, heated rollers etc etc, my curls had up and left. After watching this (my hair is fine, but a lot of it so it’s deceiving), buying and using the products used, I’m in curl heaven. Love and Thank you, thank you, thank you 😘 (from UK 🇬🇧)
I really appreciate this type of collab! I've been working on my journey for a couple of months but learning those extra details today with the brush and the direction of the hair growth were on point! Thanks ladies!
i cannot thank you enough for bringing a girl with thin hair and do this type of thing like you explain and she has to follow you...it really shows that what you are saying is valid and good for the hair ESPECIALLY a thin one like mine is! really thank both of you really much and if my hair will turn out just as good as Nicole's i am going to scream!!! Tomorrow is wash day for my hair so i cannot wait to try all your tips!!!
Thanks for this video! Nicol has super similar hair as me so I loved hearing your tips for her! Any tips on what to do if your curls are going too soft?
I starting to college in the middle of rural Kansas. This area has really hard water. I have use shampoo for hard water, which helped, but my curls were never the same after moving back home. This video has literally brought my curls back to were they were originally! Thank you so much for saving my curls!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I soooo needed a video like this one! I can almost cry! 🥲 I have 3C curls, but thin hair. I’ve struggled forever and needed to know how to add volume while moisturizing it. I can always moisturize my curls but I’m never able to add volume!😭 I’m so trying this routine, it could be a game changer for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
This is so great! I also have low density and fine hair, so this is the perfect tutorial for me. It is so refreshing see you treating other kinds of curls. Thanks!
This is my favourite hair video EVER! My hair is a similar curl type to Nicol's but at the moment so damaged. This has really inspired me to persevere with getting my natural hair back. Nicol, you look amazing at the end of this video. Mel, I can't believe you did this remotely! Amazing tutorial. Also proved that hair doesn't have to be really long to look INCREDIBLE. That bob is beautiful. Thank you so much for this video!
I've become addicted to your videos. I have naturally curly hair and want to start rocking those God given curls. I LOVE this video. You having Nicol follow along with you has helped so much. Thank you!! :)
Ohmygod i NEEDED this video i have very similar hair to her now so this was so helpful even though its the same things youve done in other videos i liked seeing her try it out herself and with products that are good on fine hair!! Thank you so much ❤️
Today I followed this routine. My diffuser has not arrived but I was too excited and couldn’t wait. The ringlets are amazing!! I always thought I had different textures. Bang area is frizzy. Full ringlets underneath, long full waves on the side. I currently have ringlets all over my head! PS: I began the routine with the pigtail cut. Adorable! My daughter is super excited and impressed as well. THANK YOU!!!! Hugs and kisses!
Can’t wait for another video! And maybe this one would be helpful for my fine hair 😩 I’ve recently bleached my hair cause it was finally fully transitioned and I was sure I could manage it , but no matter how much I take care of my hair, it just looks crap😞 I do olaplex, deep conditioning, regularly clarify, pay attention to protein moisturize balance, but nothing helps, I really love my new color but i completely lost my confidence and wear my hair up all the time. Hope I’ll find a way to manage it🙏🏼☺️
You are The Fairy Curl Mother... I SAID IT FIRST right here on May 2nd 2021!!! That girl has very thin hair and by the time you were done teaching her you would never know!!! I am 52, white with a FRO.... battled my hair all my life, and then your channel emerged.... I am finally proud of my thick, tight, frizzy ringlets..... you are the true Fairy Curl Mother.... :)
Hello, I already love the videos on this channel, but this one is out of the roof of how great it is. I am struggling with hair, shaking my mousse (guilty), and not knowing how to use the brush. I was able to remove some rows and I must say that I've already felt the difference. Today, was the first time that I got great results. I even had to go out a bit to show off my curls. Thank you!!
I just discovered you and I love you already. I was just like Nicol , I was ashamed of my curls up until 2 years ago I did a complete shaved head..Bald. I shaved it again about 8 months after it grew. And now it’s completely been a year and 4 months since I shaved it the second time. I dyed my hair red and wanted to give it a trim and seeing your 3A/3B hair. It makes me appreciate my curls even more. Growing up especially being African American, I always got rude comments and I just always kept it straight but couldn’t stand that when I finally decided to go heat free before my big chop.. it just wasn’t flattering to me. I really enjoy learning new tips and tricks for keeping my hair healthy for it to grow. And I am officially subscribing!
Loved this video, the one I needed for a long time. I do have a loser pattern like Nicol's and funny enough a couple of days ago I tried to style with a mouse instead of gel and my curls were more define. I will keep experimenting. Love from Panama Mel
Wowow so a little background... I have Lupus and my hair’s thinned out a LOT since chemo and for the past 4 years I’ve tied it up in a bun everyday because I was just so sad about my hair. It was much easier to just ignore it. However, recently bc of lockdown I started to wear it down again and figured I should just enjoy whatever I have left, at least while we’re home all the time anyways. So I’ve been working on improving my routine and I have about the same hair as Nicol’s! I just followed this video exactly today! First time using a Denman brush, first time using foam (I used to use gel bc my hair was thicker) and WOW the results basically came out like Nicol’s! I honestly haven’t been this excited or happy about my hair in a LONG long long time. Thank you for helping me make the most of my hair situation!!!
This is so nice I hope you guys keep collaborating and turn this into a series. I also appreciate you guys putting the products with links. I really was looking for something thickening and pluming
WOW, this is the best curl method I’ve seen, and SO EASY!I watched this morning and immediately after I hopped in the shower and did followed your instructions. My hair is soft and curled beyond expectation. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Best video yet! Mel and Amanda you girls are saving my curls life! After 50 years of fighting my curls I have learned to love the. In this last year and it’s because of you two!!! The bigger the hair the harder they stare! 💜
