Your rants are welcome, Mell. They let us know we are not suffering alone. I must admit, I wanted to call my hair stylist and schedule a chop off of all my hair just so I could avoid the hour long and longer hair care routines! Hopefully you can feel the love from your fellow curlies. Have faith...Spring is coming.
Spring feels far but I know you guys are here❤️🩹 a haircut isn’t a bad idea if you’re feeling spontaneous! I spend 7 minutes diffusing after plopping today. I am my own goals 😂😂 Thanks for your words love💕
Mell, winter BLOWS. GET IT OUT, GIRL!!!!! I think you have no idea just how much you have helped so many of us. I've begun pree-pooing with oils and what a difference on my high porosity dry damaged hair, as i have watched it transform from a hideous monstrosity, to some actually livable lovable curls! It's def made a difference in my wash days and the final results! I love texture Tuesdays sooo much! This is the only channel I religiously watch and have gone through as many as I can to learn the proper way to care for my wavy curls!
For the people who struggle during winter try purchasing a humidifier.. I just bought one and it was help me soooo much with my dry skin and hair. Thank you Mell for the hair routine 😍
I was just telling my mother about getting a humidifier for her dry skin (psoriasis), and dry hair issues!! But she is SO hardheaded because I tell her, at nauseam that her clothes/dish detergents, hair products, soaps, etc., ALL with fragrance btw, are the culprits!! I tell her that it drives me crazy when people believe that having fragrances in everything in their environments is good when in actuality, manmade fragrances along with, dry air and heat in the Winter, could be the causes of their constant sinus issues, headaches, respiratory issues, etc!! Hopefully she listens this time!!🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I love you so much! I mean, I think for me you are the only one in the social media world who shows the REAL STRUGGLE of having curly hair! Thanks for the advices and for the time you spend doing this videos! Thanks to you I do not straight my hair no more Love form Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🍕
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for doing your research, having the facts to back up your claims, and continuing to further your education. I recently stumbled on a different channel that was the opposite, and doing things that made me cringe (calling once every two weeks "frequent washing,"), and because her hair was fine and it worked for her, that was all the proof she needed to consider it a fact. And there are people following her going, "Oh wow, your hair is so (fill in the blank), I'm going to try this too!" I may or may not have been arguing with the screen...
For the last 6 months I have been using Mielle Rosemary shampoo and oil and I have tons of about an inch long hair coming in all over my head. I have Autoimmune and hormone hair loss and you can easily see my scalp all over. This amount of hair growth has me so happy! I am blown away by Rosemary.
I perform in different music groups and I had a big concert last weekend. One of the other singers didn’t use any gel in her hair and I watched her beautiful ringlets go flat. I don’t feel comfortable mentioning anything about it to her but I wish I could. There are so many beautiful curlies that need your channel. Thanks MEL ! Love from Seattle USA 🇺🇸 xx 😘
Maybe one day when her curls are looking great (before playing a show or something) compliment her and ask what she uses as a way to start talking curl care & products. Ask what her favorites are & then maybe you could mention favorite gels and make a comment like "My curls won't behave without gel! They either get frizzy, flatten, fall or all 3 unless I have gel or mousse to actually hold them in place" idk something to that effect. If she doesn't seem interested in the Convo then you could just drop it, or even laugh it off by saying something like "sorry, I have a weird obsession when it comes to hair products, I forget that some people are actually normal" Just a couple thoughts if you were trying to find a way to mention it🤷🏽♀️
@@VengefulAngeI That’s a good way to say it. I had asked an older lady with curly hair what she used and she was highly offended I even asked her. But I think this younger gal wouldn’t be so uptight. I’ll try what you said. Thanks Jenn Leah.
@@alicesings1971 you know how we all talk about skincare? I’ve asked older ladies about what they use and some will just shake their head like “No.” I think that’s the generation that didn’t support each other. The younger generation cheers each other on. That’s why when someone compliments something of mine I usually tell them where I shop or humbly tell them I made it. I’ll show a little mistake I made but I’m happy with it kinda thing. I never want to keep that “everything’s a secret” culture.
The seasonal depression struggle is real! I love that you are real and open!! One of my biggest struggles in winter is static!!!! I can't stand it! I live in a very dry, cold, windy climate. Anyone have help for static??
I've been extra annoyed with my hair lately too. The hair along the nape of my neck has been matting and tangling way more than it used to. I didn't realize until this video that it's bc of all the turtlenecks I've been wearing 😔🤦. It never occurred to me! Thanks for the great tips on winter care 🙂
I love that we can come here for knowledge and entertainment at the same time. I hate the cold too. My hair gets so flat at the roots without the humidity. BUT, I now follow many of your tips, like hover diffusing, and all those problems have vanished 🙂
I don't think I can thank you enough for helping me love and understand my curly hair. I know it's superficial but you really have helped me be the best version of myself!
Listen, you’re funny in all of your videos but THIS is some of your best work. Thank you for teaching us so much while also making us laugh 💕 luv u relatable queen
SAD is definitely affecting me too! Will try the double gel technic , the pre poo and refreshing the back of my hair (basically everything xD)since its been the worst part of my hair to detangle lately! I am so amazed that your hair looks so lightweight and fluffy even with the extra gel!
Curly people, just wanna say that moisturizing your hair adequately is also super important for longevity in the winter. I used a bad leave in conditioner for my last wash day, and my hair felt bone dry and more frizzy than usual on day 6, when my hair usually takes MUCH longer to get to that state (think day 8-10 or even longer). IT MATTERS WHAT MOISTURE PRODUCTS YOU USE!!!
Hi I have just started taking care of my curls...I got a question how do you moisturizing your hair adequately?? Do you use leave in cream every day or something?
Last year, I was almost panicking with all the hair fall I experienced in the winter. This year it is even colder and my hair is showing the signs of seasonal change. Thanks for this video. I needed the reminder to deep condition my hair and not be afraid to use a richer moisturizer. I have thin and fine hair...very different from your or Amanda's type hair. But I still need extra moisture for conditioning and I have been using only gels vs curl creams plus gel for styling and holding my curls in place. I found adding in Curlsmith's Full thickening lotion to my routine is helping with volume without drying my hair or further weighing it down. I use an oil after diffuse drying my hair when breaking any cast and at night.
Happy Texture Tuesday curlys. Mell can you please include in coming videos how to care and tame the frizz for grey hair i have a similar hair texture to yours but i had grey hair since i was 12 and the white hairs always have a mind of their own. If you could also give recommendations for wash out hair dye for dark hair. Thank you
I feel like I just watched a workout video 😂 im so PUMPED and PREPARED to fight this cold!!!! love you always and forever for videos like this that save my hair!!!❤❤❤
I’m been watching your tutorials and using them since 2020💯 and they’re amazing!! However the best part of your videos are when I’m feeling down and you always bring a smile to my heart!! Thank Mell for being you, and your seester too! 💋
Girl, you're a life saver, I watch your videos regularly and you're so very helpful. I'm still in my transition phase after years of heat damage and your videos are literally all I need starting this journey, You're the reason I finally love my curls following your steps. I keep recommending your videos, aside of that you're so beautiful and so much fun, your videos help my bad moods with all the fun. It feels like you became a friend already. keep doing more videos, Thank you for helping lots of girls and thank you for being you. So much love from Egypt, Mell❤
Omg ! Thanks for the tips ! Not used to this kind of weather yet. My favorite part is definitely the dry scalp one ! But also : multiple gels instead of styling cream! I’ve never thought about it ! Thanks again !
Hey thanks, Mell.Really needed this. It will be a great help to all curly girls as winters are really harsh for our hair and we do need to extra moisturise them👍
Great video Mel. And I sympathise with you as I have SAD too. This yea feels much worse. But I think that's because we've all had a ahitty few years. So I wish you well. In two weeks we hit the shortest day and then.......it's onwards to spring. Slowly at first, then picking up speed. Keep it lit gorgeous girl...hugs x
-34 C here right now without the wind chill - I don't even want to fathom what it would be WITH the wind chill. I'm not even going outside. Me and my curls right now will stay in the house with the perfect humidity setting. But, thanks for the tips for when I finally DO leave the house!
You are a great discovery! I love that your techniques are easily applied to my type 4 kinky curls with stunning results! My favorite part of this video is the touch-up and spray shine parts. Didn't know I could bring back shine and restyle some sections without having to start from scratch! Duh! 😄
The video I needed!!! The way my scalp has been flaking since the temperature drop here has been insane 😭 **adds these Eva NYC products to my Christmas list ASAP 🙌🏼**
My hair LOVES winter/fall. It is when it is the curlier, more hydrated, bright and easily manageable. I may be a bit partial though because the whole me loves winter/fall/snow... aaaaand I live in the northeast region of Brazil where our winters are 25 degrees celsius in a luck day.
You looked beautiful with the blonde but, this dark hair is my favorite on you! I love it! I was debating on getting some highlights but now that I see your dark curls I am not gonna do it! I am gonna continue to just grow out my natural hair!
Happy Texture Tuesday! I’ve been making a little scalp serum with Rosemary, Cedarwood, Lavender and Jamaican Black Castor oil, to use before I shampoo. I have to say it feels like it helps. I’m going to have to look into the products you used today when I get home from vacation ❤
I’m currently transitioning from heat damaged curls (think 2C waves with random 3A curls) with my natural curl pattern being a 3A entirely. Does the serum combo you use help with hair growth as well?
I really struggle with my scalp when the weather changes but Aveda has this scalp cleanser and it changed my life. I hate scalp care products because my curls suffer but Aveda Pramisana (I think it’s called) cleans my scalp and treats the itchiness and my wash last so much longer 🎉
Literally the underside of my hair is breaking off. I run my fingers in there and it’s snagging. This is so helpful. My curl pattern is much looser but I get the tangles, my scalp is dry and itchy … I can’t do as long without washing. It’s frustrating and makes me want to smooth it straighter 🤣 just so I can braid it and leave it alone. This awesome black woman at my grocery store mentioned I should use hot oil treatment. Even though our hair genetics are much different - I think I need to do that a few times this winter cause I am suffering over here.
I grow my own rosemary and infuse it into grapeseed oil, love scalp massages, but don't love how my scalp is oiler sooner between washes. Any advice is welcome. (Best thing about CGM was teaching me to use my hair dryer on high heat, high speed "against yer skin." :)
Just in time great advise, as usual. You must have a crystal ball. I love you Mel, for your uplifting fun personality, your entertaining videos, but mostly for your lessons which have transformed my frizzy into gorgeous curls. You are my hero ❤
Hi Mel and Amanda. It’s so cold here this week. Wind Chill is projecting to be in the -40s and then warm up later to snow 😭. You have inspired my wash day for this week as your using some of my favourites. Love Eva NYC mask, AG Liquid Effects and Fast food. Your lovely curl foam gel is a great addition. Take care and happy holidays. 🌲⛄️
Dear Mel, Huge fan, your channel is the reason I started wearing my hair curly 2 years ago ! ❤ Question, can you do an updated video on color maintenance? I just dropped an unhealthy amount of money on new shampoo/conditioner etc from AG bc I’m afraid of my color washing out but I still don’t understand. Pls help!
Glad it’s texture Tuesday!! I too have learned much from both of you. I appreciate the pep talks about being patient with your curls and not giving up. Thank you so much!🎉❤
Thank you so much for this video. This is my first winter fully embracing my curls and I haven’t had a good wash day in what feels like forever! They’ve been everything from dry, flat, frizzy, to over moisturized and heavy and my scalp is itchy after only two days. Can’t wait to try these tips ❤
I can't wait to see what is next on the Curly Carols Carelist The Winter Routine Update was more than worth the wait... thank you Mell and Amanda💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕
I wish it was colder here in Georgia, 74°/23 Celsius. On another note, I was wanting your advice. My hair is fine and thin, thinking about getting a perm although, I am a wavy. I want to be a little more curl than wave though. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Love your helpful videos. Thanks for all you do. 😊
Thank you for sharing. Many of us feel it too. I love your videos & routines so much. You inspired me to pull out the oils snd treat myself to some hair TLC.🕉💜🎄
Watching this got me thinking my strands and scalp could use some oil but I also super need to clarify as I've got product build up. If I clarify after adding the oil does it undo the benefits of the oils?
Hey Mell, I love your channel!! Thanks for making me smile every week :-) I’m conflicted about dimethicone - I read that I should keep away from silicones but I’ve noticed you use them and recommend them for high porosity. Is dimethicone ok and does it mean that if I use it, I need to use a clarifying shampoo? Thanks!!
Happy texture Tuesday! I'm so excited to learn more ways to keep my curls healthy in the Winter. Thank you so much for an informative and entertaining video as usual.
Hello from Arizona. We have actually had some cool/rainy weather for the past 2 weeks. I get to wear my boots! I will enjoy it while I can. Meanwhile, for me, it's moisture, moisture, moisture. I have been enjoying Shea moisture Jamaican black castor oil cream and of course love my Twist by Ouidad Boss Bounce. Argan oil kind of dries out my hair along with coconut oil. My hair seems to like 🧈. 🤣🤣 I love that Mielle rosemary product line. I use their growth oil.
The best part is you hardly need to waste styling products because you can skip the hair styling and wear hats/caps to keep your head warm or put hair in sleek buns/ponytails. Do Canadians leave the house when it snows so much?
Hi Mell! Fellow seasonal dry scalp gurl here, thank you for sharing 🙏! I often have to put my hair in a bun due to my job and it deflates my curls afterwards. I wash my hair after 3-4 days, what do you recommend to keep it looking styled? Thank you showing your step by step routine! Sending much warmth from So Cal!✨
Thanks for all the great information. Unrelated- Can you break the steps of how you twist or finger coil your hair so smoothly? I get stuck but the way you do it looks flawless.
You had me laughing within the first 30 seconds of this video, i love your content so much 😂. And girl I can RELATE!! Canadian winters are really out here putting us through it 😫
oooo, have been using NYC Mane Magic for a long time, maybe it's time to try Just Glisten instead. and a BTW--I love, love, LOVE your foaming gel!! Use it absolutely every day and have warned VERB that if they ever discontinue it, I will come after them. lol Thank you!!
I love the Eva NYC primer! I use it in summer for UV protectant if I'm going to be outdoors, sometimes I use it on line day 4 to lightly mist my curls and then I just smooth my hair down with my hands & it helps bring back shine & smooth frizz, & I like to use it in the morningtime on my washdays (I wash at night), because it helps me dry finger detangler after I let it sit on my hair all day, especially those tangles at the nape of the neck!
@@jessg.829 Yes, but it's just 2 volatile ones that evaporate & are only used as carriers for other ingredients. In this case, as a carrier for argan oil & sunflower oil to make them lighter than they already are 🤷🏽♀️
