Mel, I have been watching your videos for a couple of years. I have thick curly hair similar to yours. I am 34 and I always wore it straight until 2 years ago, when I started wearing it natural. After watching your videos and following your advice my hair grew exponentially, it was beautiful and healthy. Just as I started loving my curly hair I was diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer. I went through many different treatments for a year and a half and I lost all of my hair. I finished treatment, cancer free, 2 months ago. My hair is coming back very curly and hard to manage. I started watching you again. I have bought most of your recommended products and I am following your routines. It has changed my world post cancer. It is helping my hair grow back and look nice and healthy while it grows back out. I watched your video last week where you were questioning your career choice. Please know that your making a difference in people’s lives in a way you may never know. You have helped me when my confidence was at its lowest. You are very knowledgeable, vibrant, and helpful. Thank you for helping all the curly girls find confidence in their curls 👏🏻 That has been on my heart to say I hope it gives you a wide perspective of the difference your making. 🙏🏻
God Bless you and your overcoming your trials!
God Bless You
I dropped my Dyson hairdryer on my foot today. Wasn't a fun experience, but still the best hairdryer I've ever used!!!
Lol,hope ur doin finee😆
Oops I dropped my big shampoo on mine
I mean if Rihanna says it it has to be true
I’ve don’t that with my Dyson diffuser! It hurt! I can’t imagine doing it with the hairdryer - ouch!
I so needed this updated refresher video!
Love my Dyson too! It also has bumps & chips in it from years of use! Sometimes my hair gets snagged in the chips (which wouldn’t happen had I been following your hover method correctly 🥰).
Amanda's natural makeup look is so pretty in this video!
I never once thought to use the comb attachment for backcombing. Also using the cool to cool down. You're a genius!!!!
Happy texture Tuesday!!! It’s been a while since we shared a diffusing video so I’m excited about this one🥰
@Amanda Guido-seems like you’re mixing in some new music? I love it! You and Mell make the best team, best content, best channel on CZcams!
You're a goddess! And a hoot! I'm 61 and still learning about my hair. You're a joy to watch, and how you explain the products and methods and results are simple. I am sharing your videos on FB.
It never ends. I am 45, almost 46, and am just getting my hair somewhat figured out. Right at the same time I’m getting more gray hair that has a tighter and different curl pattern.
I keep looking at my grays hair and saying who are you? Why will you not clump with the rest? What is your malfunction?
I’m getting it dyed and having a gloss put on it soon. I’ll worry about it later.
I like my dyson but I prefer a bigger diffuser bowl with longer teeth to get to my roots without squishing the curls and dry more of my hair faster, sooo… I ordered an extra concentrator attachment from dyson, then had my husband cut the magnet part and high heat glue it to my Black Orchid diffuser. I’m in love. Best of both worlds.
Great idea! I returned it because I hated the diffuser (plus the price).
I recently started seeing a curly trained stylist. She gets MUCH more definition at the root when diffusing. I have super fine curly hair and I asked her what she was doing. Instead of pushing the hair to the root and holding the diffuser for a few seconds, she picks up the hair gently and places the hair in the diffuser off the head a little. I know you are “hands off” but since I have been doing that I have more definition and less frizz at my roots!
I had my collarbone length-hair cut in long layers. I use a hard hold mouse at the crown and use the comb_pick attachment at the top and crown using lowest heat and medium air settings and then use the cold-shot to set for curls and great volume!!! Love my Dyson 🥰
I'm a wavy to curly girl over 50 with very long, mostly natrual gray hair and what's left of colored hair towards the bottom, and I've been watching Mel's videos since the pandemic. And I've half-assed her and other's suggestions on my hair. I know Mel knows what she's talking about, but I get lazy with my hair. I also get into a rush and want it done and dry NOW. I hate air drying because it takes hours, and I also wash more frequently than I should because of summer heat and menopausal night sweats. This morning I made a pointed effort to do things the "right" way after watching this late last night. I also don't own a Dyson and never will due to the cost, and use drug store products that I can afford. I have a decent dryer I got on Amazon along with a diffuser. I started with the detangling in the shower and applied my leave in and gel to sopping wet hair. Scrunched with a t shirt. After a few minutes I went in with my dryer using the techniques above, and I'm having the best curly day ever, with little to no tangles in my length. I was literally going to cut off about three inches of hair. Even my wirey grays are behaving as best they can. And it didn't really take any longer than when I rough dry my hair and finish it with a warm flat iron or curling wand. Bottom line, if you're like me and you've watched her videos, use her information! If she can take the time to make them, we can take the time to do our hair the right way!! Thanks Mel 🌹
This is true. Yes it would be nice to have all the fancy equipment and expensive products but you can get pretty much the same results (curliness level of your own) using drug store, and non terry towel to plop and any diffuser using her methods and recommendations.
Happy texture tuesday ♥️🎉
Happy texture tuesday Erin!!♥️♥️♥️
“Hi I’m Mell, your curl mom” 😂❤️ It’s totally true!
It's always a good feeling when you forget that it's Tuesday and then you get a little notification reminding you that its TEXTURE TUESDAY!!!!!! Thank you so much Mell and Amanda!!!
Dude…I never thought about back combing my roots. That is SO smart. Tomorrow is my wash day and I’m VERY excited to try this!
Also, I adore you, your seester, and your channel. I have psycho non porous, dense, thick, very dry 2b-3c (yes, every single one of those patterns) hair and before I found you, I couldn’t get it under control. Now I get compliments everywhere I go. Thank you, curl mom!!! ❤️❤️❤️
What? Dyson sponsored this video and they couldn’t gave her a discount code for her subscribers?! Rude.
Seriously! I went straight to the description looking for it too!
😆
They could of actually sent her a new dryer for all the years she has on that one.
Dyson is greedy af
@@Plushiecandie their products ain’t crap…
How on earth have I lived this long and not known ‘bout Mell and her seester Amanda?!? 😱 Thank you so much, ladies, for knowledge a la curl and for doing so in a fun, entertaining way! Y’all rock! And so does your hair! 👍🏻🤘🏻💁♀️😄
What would my curly life be without you!!!! You are just the best! Thanks for all the tips and tricks and for being haaairrrr for us!!!!
You're far too kind Doris!! Thank you for the kind words! Hair for you always ♥️♥️♥️ Happy Texture Tuesday
The outtakes are still some of the best stuff! I’ve always loved them. 😆
Hahahahaha your videos are always super helpful and informational but man if people dare to leave before the bloopers at the end, they are missing EEEEEVERYTHING!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always here for the bloopers 😆
Tip and trick that I do is to use a rotating space heater. I sit at my vanity while it sits behind me on top of a folding table and let it do it’s thing. First I start in the back for 15 minutes, then both sides and last I’ll move my hair by doing the swaying technique. There is no crunch afterwards. It’s just shiny supple curls.
This is galaxy brain move
I'm nearly 40 and never owned a hair dryer, have always used a heater lol. Works great!
The Infiniti pro by con air works well for me and it’s only like $35 on Amazon. For those of you who are saying you can’t afford a Dyson. You just need a diffuser, and this one comes with one too! Just be mindful of the heat settings. Don’t use the hottest setting. I usually use warm and cool. It takes a bit longer of course but my hair is healthier for it ☺️
I just looked up the price of the Dyson 😩
Being informed and entertained at the same time.. my little me time. 🥰
Happy texture Tuesday!
I love my Dyson blow dryer. My hair has gotten finer and fizzy as I have gotten older. Getting the Dyson blow dryer, has been my saving grace, in my curly hair journey. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Literally LIFE CHANGING! I just stumbled upon these videos and I am now a forver fan! I've DESPISED my curly hair all my life because it never looked defined and always came out frizzy. I did the whole routine with the products and the hovering with the dryer and have achieved LOVE for my hair! FINALLY! Thank you Mell & Amanda!
I am so happy I can across this video. I will be referring back to it whenever I blow dry/diffuse my hair. It’s not often. I usually let it air dry or plop it, but while I love waking up with styled hair, it does sometimes have varying results as my curl pattern can get wonky. Although I live that it’s not frizzy doing it that way. I’m definitely going to try back combining it at the root to see if I can achieve a little volume there.
My Dyson just came in today and I am here to EDUCATE myself. Bought it thanks to you Mel, hope it gets the best out of my hair.
I never thought to use a wide tooth comb and the diffuser to elongate the hair. Hopefully it works out well for me. I hate the scrunching one because I’m already type 4 and I don’t want my hair shrunken completely to my scalp 😂
Your hair color right now is so nice! The darkness around your eyes offers a really beautiful contrast!
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think to myself, I need a Dyson supersonic,
Haha the diffuser dance with Tammy's hair, very cute Mell.
I love to watch all your videos mell ,it's so much fun to watch 🤩🤩plus so informative 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Gamechanger!!!!! The hover method is my jam now.
Thaaaaaank you!
Love your video and advice. On the rare occasions that I can diffuse my hair, your volume techniques work great.
3 years ago the hover diffusing technique changed the game for me and the Dyson is amazing. Recommend to all that can buy it!
I just purchased my Dyson! I am so happy with my purchase! Thanks for the video great tips❤️😘🤗🤗🤗🤗
Omg MELL today I finally got it thank you so much for creating this videos and help me through our curly hair journey!!!
Love this! To elongate my curls, I hover diffuse for definition and then put the concentrator attachment on and blow it on my roots while holding the ends. Then I pick it out (with a regular pick, not the attachment) for volume!
I do use the comb attachment to blowout my hair before flatironing and it’s AWESOME
I don't know what I would have done with my hair without you 😭. You are a treasure 💕
I've owned a Dyson for the past 9 months and today was the first time my hair actually looks frizz free and perfect! This video truly helped me to learn to diffuse. You're the best Mel !!! 🥰❤
Love my dyson....thanks for all those drying techniques!😉👍🏽
I'm a hairstylist and I need you to try clouding a highlighting technique I just found. I also have curly hair and would love to take on more curly hair techniques. Thank you for always answering my curly hair questions! ❤️❤️🥰
Is there a video on clouding a highlighting technique you could point us to?
You both have the most gorgeous define healthy curls. 💖 You really know how to take care of your curls 🙌🏼 Thank you for teaching us. 😘
I love that there are options! Because you know with different curls you may need to experiment to see what works and some days you want a slightly different look.
Finally wearing my hair wavy after straightening it for 20 years! I think I'm 2b/2c but its nice to not always feel I need to have it look uniform and perfect.
Awesome as always, Mell! My wavy hair is looking great because of you!
Mel, you inspired me to get a dyson a few weeks ago and it has CHANGED THE GAME!
You legit answered all questions I had and went into the perfect amount of detail thank you so much this is an enormous help!
Thank you so much for your diffusion tips! It really helps me a lot! I love my Dyson! Best purchase I have ever made!!!
Love love love this! Had no idea I was using my diffuser wrong until now. I don’t have the penultimate Dyson but a knockoff that so far works very well. I’ve been natural since 2006 and struggle often to get my curly coils to do something, anything other than frizz. You are a lifesaver Mell! P.S. would you consider doing a vid on working with greying hairs and how to care for curls as the wirery one take over?
This is why I always try to save wash day for Tuesday 😎 Thank you Mel!
Girl I am so glad I found your channel... and congrats on the collab for this video that's awesome!
This is amazing because my mom has straight hair, and I get my curly hair from my aunt who lives in a different country ❤❤
OMG SAME 😂❤
i’ve been following you for so long and i grew my hair all the way down to my waist!!! BUT!!! i recently got a bad haircut and they cut off 7 inches. I’ve finally stopped crying about it, but now i get to start all over again!!! can’t wait to see how much length i get. but the elongating tip really helps!!! love you mel!!!
My hair is like your sisters! Omg finally. Would love to see more on your sisters hair!
Thank you Mel, I have learned so much from you! I am being successful in my curly hair journey thanks to you! I definitely need to get the comb attachment for my dyson! I already follow your hover technique, I have fine hair so I love and appreciate the volume techniques!
Thanks for this video. It has truly helped me when diffusing my curly hair. 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾 The hover over works for me.
I have been here since maybe your 4th or 5th video. It’s been amazing seeing your channel grow. Plus my hair loves all your tips! After all these years I think it’s finally time I bought the Dyson diffuser
Thank you so much. This is awesome. Also love your sense of humor.❤
I bought the hair dryer based on your recommendation. I love it.
omg thank you so much for this elongation method!!! Can't wait to try this!
Hiya! Just wanna thank you, Mama Mel, for not only helping me with my curls, but for doing it in such a sweet, high energy way! You always cheer me up! Bless ya! .... Sadly, back in 2019, i lost my beloved hubby, Tony, to cancer, which led to me losing 80% of my hair. Three years later, i am half way to my disired length again, thanks to me wearing hair pieces and getting regular trims. I wish you well Mel, and please do keep up the good work! I have become a huge fan of yours! Once again, Thank you! xxxxxxx
Wow, I really hope she sees this. What a sweet comment, and what a journey you've been on in life... I'm sorry for your loss, and I admire your strength and kindness so much. Congratulations on making so much progress on your hair goals. 💞💞 I hope you're having a lovely week.
Thank you guys for all that you guys do! And happy anniversary 2 you and your Dyson!
This video just changed my hair game. I got the wide-tooth comb attachment for free with purchase of the dryer and was afraid of how to use it. The back-comb method was a great finishing technique, as my roots tend to get lazy with the downward diffusing method. Absolutely love my hair tonight! #thebiggathehairthehardertheystare
Just started my curly hair journey I’ve learned so much from you so far thank you! I do also have a headache from it🤪
Not a vid, but I had a really tough problem with this. At night I use metal root clips to teach my hair to go up.
I use Boldify Root Spray in my roots and
for root volume and root wave definition, I use a 4 prong Spriggle pick and stick it straight in my hair scrunching in and then lifting the root while hover diffusing (a little like back combing without the combing part). This works really, really well. It's like hands free scrunching your hair. You get no frizz though because you aren't disrupting the cuticle or curls and waves. Also dries your roots fast.
These are such great tips! I’ll be trying out the hover and elongation techniques
You are ao fun to watch! I just got my first good diffuser and cant wait to style my hair in its natural form again, its been a while. thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! My hubby gifted me a dyson with these attachments for my birthday and was a bit overwhelmed on how to use them lol I'm ready to diffuse!
Mell your a legend and a curl savior😩💜
Love and hope you reach 1M soon💜
This is exactly what I needed, thanks Mell! :)
Omg I just found ur channel and I'm in love with ur videos already!!!
Thank you! I enjoyed and learned so much from your videos!
U and yur sista killin da curl game. Best videos one yt. Thank uu.🙌🏾
❤️thank u so much mell ur d BEST ❤️d way u explain is really amazing
this gave me the exact push i needed to get the dyson airwrap. gonna get it next month and i’m suuper excited
Air wrap doesn’t have a diffuser -_- dyson blow dryer is what she is using here, I wish I had got this instead!!
Oooo so helpful! I’ve wanted to get back into working out but I wasn’t sure what to do about the sweaty hair afterwards!
I like this channel i also love the tecnique she uses on NY Curls 401 it helps define my waves more.
Always feared the blow dryer until I saw your videos. Love the different techniques. Volume❤️
Awesome video with really great tips for diffusing. Thanks seesters! 😁
Never thought to use the gentle diffuser for dry shampoo! That's such a good idea!!!
Mell! Help me! I have watched and researched SO much. I’m obsessed with your channel. I love everything you do. I am convinced my hair cannot be dried in under two hours. It takes me about 3.5 hours to get to 80%. And I have to use a higher heat setting. I have the dyson blow dryer - which was a game changer (took me 5-6 hours with my bioionic dryer). However, still takes so much longer then it seems it should based on everything I’ve watched and read. I am constantly doing treatments to make my hair healthier as you recommend - hot oil treatments, deep conditioning, bonding, clarifying - with the products you recommend (you’re brilliant) but, STILL takes ages. My hair is long, so I know that’s working against me. It’s also coarse, and high porosity. I follow all your tips on how to diffuse. Still, I feel like I’m ten years older by the time it’s at least dry enough to stop styling. I don’t know what to do! I love my healthy curly hair, I do not want to go back to constantly being hard on my hair with heat and straightening. I would be happy to pay you for your time and advice. Please get at me when possible. Fellow Ontarian 😁. In case I haven’t said it enough - you rock and you’ve changed my life lol.
I recommend getting a microfiber towel. It really helps take out extra water and product that’s not needed while keeping the hair frizz free! I hope it cuts down the drying process !
I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you
Happy texture Tuesday! I love your videos!! I'm barely starting on creating a set routine and way for handling my curly hair properly but you have already helped me so much! Thank you!😭😊💛
Love the video, thanks!! Now, do a same one with focus on only wavy hair.
This video is so useful! 🌻 Especially now that it’s winter here in South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏🏽.
Oh my gosh I love you and your Seester! My hair is similar to Amanda's. You are so freaking funny and I've learned so much from you two.
This was an AWESOME video girl!!!!
Mell & Amanda would love the opportunity to see you professionally , since moving across country from my beloved hairdresser/great friend , I’ve unfortunately not have had the opportunity in establishing 2 precious gems as you both that gives off professionally vibes along with sincerity such as you dolls! 💇🏼♀️💇🏼♀️ trying to establish trust/ within communicating to achieve a successful hair day daily will be priceless ! Thank you,
Ladies 💜🦋
this girl is so helpful
Great tips and you are fun to watch!
Thanks so much for this. I don't have a Dyson but the prisma pro dryer with adjustable airflow technology. Using what I learned it took me 15 minutes.
Mel you’re a genius!!
happy texture Tuesday!
Love you mell!
Same to you♥️♥️♥️ love you more!!
Ahh, the perfect lunch break video! My hair is so thick and long that it takes me an hour to diffuse. So I do it about once a year! But maybe these tips will help me do it faster? Thanks Mell and Amanda!
Back combing!! Love it
I’ve been binging your videos this morning! Just discovered your account (from the comments of another hair guru channel where someone commenting recommended your channel). My hair is completely stick straight BUT my daughter has curly hair and I’ve been struggling to figure out how to best care for her hair! Learning so many techniques and tips from your videos! Thank you 😊
That’s great! As a daughter with crazy curly hair I appreciate you learning and trying to take care of her hair! 👏🏽💕 you’re amazing! 😊💕
😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏. Always enjoy your teaching! Curl mom for sure!
I don't do it for elongation, but for root volume and root wave definition. I use a 4 prong Spriggle pick and stick it straight in my hair scrunching in and then lifting the root while hover diffusing (a little like back combing without the combing part). This works really, really well. It's like hands free scrunching your hair. You get no frizz though because you aren't disrupting the cuticle or curls and waves. Also dries your roots fast.
Please review Virtue labs curl line with either their mousse, AG mousse Gel, or Gel over the Curl Whip cream (you may get away with just the curl whip). It uses ethically sourced human hair keratin that bonds to your hair to repair damage and add fullness. The curl line & mousses are the only dimethicone free but OMG this is AMAZING STUFF. They are working on a gel at consumer request.
Your sister looks like a disney princess. You're both so beautiful.
I got a dyson from Ulta a few months ago after watching one of your videos! I'm so proud of you and how far you've come 💗
Thank you Annette🥺❣️
I have a heavy and bulky hair dryer. My arms get to tired when drying my hair. Went back to air drying for now. Will try again though. I love the bloopers at the end. So funny!
I use a T3 featherlight, you can get it at Costco for $100. The Dyson is small but it is NOT light. Very awkward cord situation too. I hated it all around and returned it. It did dry fast, but I also hated the diffuser and the 80 degree “cold shot.”
@@StormyDay Thank you 😊
@@lngislgirl BTW, it’s the T3 Featherweight 3i
PS you have to buy the diffuser separately but it’s only $30. You can get it from T3 or Amazon make sure it’s the T3 SOFTTOUCH 3. This dryer was originally $250 without the diffuser! For $5 over half price you get the diffuser, the dryer and the two concentrating nozzles! Plus it has a locking cool shot (which I love)!
Love your videos, so helpful 🤗
U are my fav since i became a wavey girl.. i love ur channel and personality soo much. NEVER change!!
