**slowly unbraids wet hair**
My wet hair was braided while watching this 😭
Same 😢
Oop yeah I do that… but it helps my hair growth and it keeps my hair together while I’m sleeping 😅
The only way I can braid my hair in a timely and effective manner is with wet hair or if I put right straightened my hair. It doesn't matter how much conditioner I use it has to be wet. Afterwards I'll sit under a dryer to keep to the style.
....Slowly pulls out wet bun.(but why?)
I would love a full explanation on the last 3 things. As a, happens to be white, curly girl, and around my people none of them have explained what it is to have curly hair. I'm almost at the point where I get it, but I've always been ENCOURAGED to do the last three things. 🤷🏻♀️
If you thin curly hair….. well you are going to regret it. You will amplify the flyaways and as stylists we are taught this very early on. I have curly hair but the texture is not enough that i have to leave it curly as it is more wavy/ curly. I do thin my hair maybe 2x a year max! The wet hair braid is because hair is at its weakest when its wet. Those super tight styles can cause breakage and weak spots in the hair. I also grew up in a white straight hair family and had no one to help me with my hair growing up so im still
Learning (sorry forgot the other thing she said while giving you a little bit of my knowledge and personal story 😅)
@@lindanichole290 LOL you're good. You helped!
Thank you!
SAME! I'm a white, curly girl too. My mother also has curly hair but not NEARLY as curly as mine. And she always brushed her hair into the big 80s style 'do with the poofy bangs. So since I certainly had no interest in wearing that style for myself, I had zero idea what to do with my hair. I lived in buns throughout junior high/ high school. It wasn't until my early 20s that I started figuring out how to actually wear it down. And always had my hair thinned when I would get it cut. 😬 I'm in my early 30s now and just learning how to really take care of my curls.
@@HS-jh4zm the one thing I know NOT to follow is the "curly girl method". It weighed down my hair and just blahhh. I'll never ever add any type of straight oil to my hair. Also, ethnic products are way too rich and weigh down my hair and make it oily by the 2nd day. I've never had a problem with Not Your Mother's (their mousse is bomb), Pacifica, and Hask. 🤷🏻♀️ Also, diffusing has never done me wrong!
That's all I know so far. 🤣
I did number 5 for a long time and it gave me terrible hygral fatigue, and YOU saved my hair :)
Wait, i do this all the time? Why can’t i put wet hair in a bun or braid?
@@romillymouton6412 it will stay wet for way too long and on the long term it will ruin the cuticle causing hygral fatigue. Also, it puts you at higher risk of yeast infection and other scalp issues.
@@romillymouton6412 listen to our friend here!
If you DO end up with yeast infection brooooo heaven help ya
@@insanelittlefangirl why can't you diffuse?
@@insanelittlefangirlsometimes i dry it a bit with a tshirt by scrunch and then wrap my hair in another dry tshirt and dries allot faster than air drying alone i find
“Slick wet hair into a braid or bun” me 😳
I always put my wet hair into a bun. If I know why I shouldn’t, I change my habit, but explanations are needed here…
Your hair is more fragile when it's wet. Since buns are usually super tight, it's already pulling on your hair a lot, so doing it with wet hair is rven worse and can pull out more hairs. Same with braids, they are usually done tightly, so with wet hair it'll pull more hairs out.
And wet Hair is usually heavy so it weighs down and it’s not good because it thins hair
It stays wet for too long. Look for her video(s) on *hygral fatigue*, they were eye opening. After years of the practice (and a long recovery) my hair is finally back to health.
@@findyourblue yeah I heard a story of someone who did this for a year and had fungi and mold growth on her hair and scalp 🤢
@@reynayara7534 I always shower at night and put my curly hair into a loose braid is that okay since it’s not tight at all
So many times I had my hair thinned with those texturing sheers. And I HATED my hair. Thank you. ❤
@@shirishshrestha1914it will just grow back to its thickness but u have to be patient with it
They did that to me once and I couldn’t understand what happened. The worst haircut I’ve ever gotten. I looked like an 80’s rock band member 😑
I wet braided my hair until I realized my hair was curly when wet. Stopping flat ironing it was the first step in my curly hair journey!
Mel can you please make a video on how to get a nice slick bun without the hair needing to be wet. I’m a dancer and we have to take sleek buns to class. 2 times per week. Thank you!!❤
Yes! A hair professional on set was mad if people came with wet hair. I'm like I will have frizz if I don't do my bun with wet hair. If you know a secret to get slick hair, but it's dry send it our way.
@@lindaorlandi1127 hmmm aquanet? or using styling cream (curl cream) brushed through to slick back? That's what I've seen on other videos
Just moisten slightly, GEL then
Brush it (bristles depending on how fine your hair is). Do this while dry
Whole head of hair doesnt have to be wet, if you brush your hair into ponytail then wet brush or wet hand then onto top of hair and brush the top layer, then do bun, it will be lightly damp on top and dry quickly
@@lindaorlandi1127 I do my boyfriends hair pulled back and his always frizzes dry, but i get it to work if you use a hair oil, rub in your hands as you’re pulling the hair back into the pony. Then use a bristle comb with gel to slick the frizz back! Hairspray for long term hold❤️
When I was younger hairstylist thinned my hair all the time because they didn't know what they were doing with my thick curly hair and I didn't know better either! I believe it ruined my hair forever!
Until I lived on my own, my mother insisted they thin my hair every time. Argh.
It definitely didn't, what it is done to your hair does not affect how it will grow in the future.
They can only thin the length of your hair. Your scalp should still be healthy. Just let it grow out and it should get back to it’s natural state
Why is your channel actually saving my life omg
Yes!!! I’ve been watching her for 3 years. My hair has transformed. I get so many compliments and have recommended so many ppl to watch her. They love her too.🙌🏼
I did Keratin treatment for years... I just did not like my hair at that point... my hair is very healthy right now and I absolutely love it, thanks to you and other influencers than help me to understand it and to take good care of it. My hair changed though, it used to be curlier. Now I love it and accept it as it is ❤️
Mel just so you know all your videos have changed my life and my hair. Everything I know and have learned is from you and now my hair looks better than I ever thought it could. I really appreciate all you do!!!
I always thought it was better to color dirty hair 🤯
Yes. Every stylist tells you to do this bc apparently the oils help stick better or something like that
I thought it was better to color dirty hair too because the natural oils on scalp and hair protected from damage. Years ago maybe 5 years??, It was even on instructions of home hair color box dyes. But if you notice now, they all say to use on clean hair🤷. Some discovery happened, maybe better color results, we all know changing the color of your hair is damaging in some way anyway, so might as well create better conditions for even color result... Is my guess
@@Platizza maybe oils mess with the chemicals or doesn't give the right colour
They say to bleach dirty hair bc the oils on your scalp protect it, but as far as trying to get color into the hair cuticle you don’t want any oil in the way of that
Maybe its also bc curly girls typically have in gel products
My hairstylist would get annoyed with me when I would ask her not use thinning shears. Dropped her.
Haha! I forbid mine to use a round brush for years. Some stylists just get wild with one of those in their hands and hair is not safe.
Could you make a video about thinning out curly hair please?? Why not to do it and how to fix it?
Guys If you do any of these things, don’t feel bad, it’s okay you can recover, remember your hair is beautiful and so are you:)❤️🙏🏻🤞🏻
I trust her professional opinion
I have had multiple keratin treatments in my teenage years and my hair was not damaged 🤷🏼. I think it has to do with how it is applied and how the client cares for their hair. I always went to the same salon that did an amazing job but I have heard horror stories from other places.
I have colored my hair when its dirty and I have used thinning shears on my curly hair 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😱😱😱😱 but I know better now. I won't do it anymore. Thanks Mel for educating us curly girls 🙌🏽 💞💞💞
Girlll your hair is STUNNING, you’re so gorgeous in general
Wow. All 5 things, I never realized we're a bad thing!! I have learned so much from you Mell ❤ thank you.
Mel you just saved me! Literally got Twist hair mask today and was reading the packaging a minute ago… apply 3-5 mins OR leave on overnight. 😬
When I used to get color/foils done professionally-it was ALWAYS done with dirty hair. I just assumed the color took better that way...good to know Ms Mell!!! 💕 (Now that I’ve let my gray take over and I LOVE it!)
I think it depends on how thick or curly your hair is whether you can braid it or wear it in a bun while wet. But if it's really thick you could probably get mildew in the middle if it doesn't dry fully before you put it up like that. But my curls are rather loose and beachy and I don't have issues with it
I’m a guilty of the last one. Not so much in the winter but in the summer? Oh yeah.
Dear Mell, Thank you for all your video, Very entertaining and vitty. You have helped me to treat my naturally curly highlighted hair so it looks health, shiny and well managable. My hair has never been in such a great condition. Thank you for testing out proper products too. Please keep doing what youre doing. Wish you all best. Greetings from Europe, Prague. Dana
Why not keratin treatments? I get them
twice a year and my hair feels the healthiest it has been. Can you please explain why it’s damaging?
Is your hair curly?
@@marwaeldeeb6894 yes.
@@marwaeldeeb6894 yes.
@@marwaeldeeb6894 yes my hair is curly.
@@marwaeldeeb6894 yes.
Was told not to strip my hair of the natural oils before coloring.
My curly hair, braids best damp or wet. Looks great after drying and taken down. My instructor used thinning shears on my curly hair when I took 12 inches off and styled it similarly like yours, and it was beautiful! I Loved the layers! Made my own mask of deep conditioner and coconut oil after hair color dried my hair out and my hair soaked it up and made a full recovery immediately.
We want hair to be a little oily, not dirty. Second or third day after washing hair is ideal. The natural oils protect the scalp from the chemicals processing
I never embraced my curls as a young girl and used thinning scissors to my hair 😞 I regret it so much. It’s been a looooong journey for me
I was told that dirty hair grasps dye way better
And I have curly hair.. I have incredibly soft and health hair. The reason why was because I would be lazy and put a moisturizer for years and just braid my hair wet. Benefits, no breakage, moisturized, no chemicals and no heat.
You might have low porosity hair, which loves moisture (including water)
I Do The Wet Hair Slick In A Bun 😂😂 Its My Everyday Hairstyle Especially For Work Thats What I Call Wash N Go 😅 Also Do Hair Masks Overnight
I do the braid thing and I know I'm not supposed to.... I just don't have the time having a baby, cat, dog, 2 rabbits, and a husband. Oh well, my hair still looks okay to me. Maybe it'd be more bouncy with volume if I didn't do that sometimes, but blow dryer and nap time dont mix in a small apartment
Immediately take my wet hair out of the bun😳😬
When she said that 😮 I was like okay, but I do that 🫣
I live in Florida and after going curly during pandemic I got tired of summer frizz so I went back to keratin treatments. I really regret it especially because a new study just came out about it causing ovarian cancer. 😢. I will once again embrace my curly hair!!!
What????
a hairstylist thinned my hair texture with a texturizing shear (I have 2c-3a curls). it took me almost two years and a half to bring those curls back. they were lifeless, lost the curl completely and I can't tell you how much I cried.
Thank you for saving our hair, Mel!
I got a protein straightening treatment, idk how different is it to keratin but it changed my life lol I'm never going back
You just taught me about hygral fatigue. Thank you 🙏🏾
I stopped deep conditioning overnight bc my scalp being wet for that long would cause it to become really itchy. I don't even like my hair being wet for that long after I style it bc again my scalp gets really itchy that's why whenever I'm done doing my hair I immediately blowdry until it's like 90-100% dry bc I can't stand a wet, itchy scalp
when you said "color dirty hair" I was thinking "wait, dirty blonde doesn't look good on curlies or what?" then I understood what you meant 💀
Please make a video on good hairstyles for our women in the military to help protect their hair!!!
Well you guys have regulations there aren’t really many hairstyles you can do besides a bun
@@bellaprincesa2452 I am in fact aware lmao
@@decepticoncaptainladue1498 lol right so what videos would she make it’s either a slick back or braid the bun and ik u can do that lol
Why will the damage live on forever with the keratin treatment? I'm curious as my hair is very messed up after BB and slide cutting... thanks!
Dark suites you so much better Mel xxx Mel
When I do my braids on wet moisturized hair, I sit under a hooded dryer after so I won't get hydro fatigue. After learning what hydro fatigue is, I never sleep with wet hair or let my hair stay wet for long hours.🙋🏾♀️
I just colored my clean hair and now know to never use Keratin. Thank you ! I really want to try the products you designed. Thanks 🙏 I just read that formaldehyde ( a carcinogen) is released during keratin treatments.
THANK YOU! I had a stylist chop my curls to smithereens with thinning shears. Looked like Edward Scissorhands got ahold of the back of my head. It was awful!
I used to get keratin treatments on my hair intentionally to loosen my hair. I know it wasn’t great, at the time I really struggled to do my hair and it made life a bit easier but now I know it was probably damaged.
I also used to use thinning scissors at home for the same reason, did not work out 😢
Hi! Can I have the explanation of why we should not keep a hair mask overnight please? I often do this and it seems ok.
We are loving those curls!
I remember as a child getting my hair thinned with texturing scissors at every single haircut. To the point I thought it was a necessity into my adulthood. I have curly hair (2/3c) but it has never been high density or thick so not exactly sure why I would have had that done other than nobody really knew how to care for my hair texture. I've been on my curly hair journey for probably 15 yrs and I'm still learning more and more every day about how to take care of my curls.
Ah, I remember that Keratin treatment in middle/high school. It haunted me for years.
Your hair looks amazing, super healthy
I'm so happy I came across your channel to learn to care for my 3b curls😊
Hi Mel, love your videos & advice! Please explain why #3 - thinning with thinning shears, is bad for curly/wavy hair. I REQUEST one area be done this way each time I get a trim (roughly 6-8 weeks). Wheather it's done with thinning shears or other shears, I'm not sure. But, I definitely need the thinning.
It creates frizz… it disrupts the natural spiral. De-bulking/thinning can be done on a loose wave, but I would neeeever do this to curly hair. Layering will give you the same lightness without shredding your curls
I do all these things
Why can’t you braid your wet hair? Actually worried about this now
Your hair is weakest when is wet and you are essentially causing a lot of tension and pulling it when is the weakest
It stays wet for too long. Look for her video(s) on *hygral fatigue*, they were eye opening.
It will never dry😅
Oh-oh. Leaving hair mask overnight guilty.😬 Is it bad though?.. or just wasting it? Maybe you can make a video about this, chica? Is it possible to over use hair masks, leaving on all day or night instead of 10 or 30 minutes? Apart from leaving residues or weighing down hair, could it make hair fall out or dry your hair or something catastrophic like that?? Thank you 🦋🦋
I did #5 for the longest time and I’d go outside when it would be freezing
Amen sister!! thanks Mel 🥰🥰
🤗❤❤
@@ManesByMell my first reply from you!! Absolutely love your channel and everything you do for you fans you make my Wednesday morning so much better when you upload your new video 🥰 would you be kind enough to do your next video on your favourite shampoo's and conditioners? 💕
Coloring dirty hair shocked me.. I was always told the other way
she is wrong.
Can some explain the keratin? I did it, I hated it, but my curls came back in three months everywhere but where bleach damage is. What IS the permanent damage?
how does a keratin treatment damage your hair?
It can permanently damage your curl pattern 😬 I wish I knew that before getting keratin treatments
@@JenJen23i regret it so much
@@lay_isback Same. Hopefully it didn’t damage mine too much since I only got it like 2 times
@@JenJen23 damnn if it does tho its okay u can get them nack but takes about 6 to 1 year to get ur curl pattern
@@lay_isbacksame they said it lasts only 6 months.. its been like a year and 4 months and still my hair looks so different. I wish I stayed with the botox treatment but I wanted more shine so badly
hi, i’m new to your videos!! the bun thing makes sense. what about those of us in the military? i have to wear my hair slicked back every day and it’s been really brittle and breaks often. what are some good ways to combat (see what i did there) damage and still maintain proper appearances 5 days/week? like a low damage military style 😵💫 thanks!!
Used to get my hair thinned because it was long and heavy, when heavy it looked like frizzy straight hair. Cut my hair for the first time (first time meaning anything more than an inch.) as a teen and then always brushed and assumed my hair was just dumb. Now I know I have wavy/curly hair 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Not me warching this video in bed with a hair mask in my hair
I wish I could go see her. My curly hair needs HELP!
I always do a consultation, when looking for a new stylist. And if they mention thinning shears, I make a run for it!😱🏃♀️😂
Shitttt. Ive done 3 4 and 5 😢 new year im coming for you with new habits from mel ❤️ 💪
I thought that colouring dirty hair protects your scalp. Or is that only for bleach?
*scratches loose hair that was wet and styled in a slick bun earlier* ☹️
Dude, permanent hair color will eat the finish off of your floor. Your dirty hair won't hinder it if the dye is processed fully. Demi and semi is different, however. And a keratin conditioning treatment with hydrolyzed protein does work because it is able to enter the medulla or innermost layer of hair. But the rest is true.
If I colour my hair when it´s clean, the scalp gets awfully itchy. So, I will keep colouring it when it´s dirty.
same. my scalp is very sensitive and dry. i color my roots every 6-8 weeks and do it only when i haven't washed my hair in a week. best scalp protect ever. 😌
Can you explain 4 and 5.
I'm a hairstylist too and I actually prefer my hair to be soften with thinning shears. I don't like any slide cutting on my hair, every time I regret it. (I have medium wavy hair)
Why is it bad to sleep with a hair mask in overnight??
I am guilty of #4. I do the overnight treatment twice a week using a product from a Brazilian brand. I apply in my dry hair. Boooy!! Hair is super soft the next day.
Any advice for recovery after we accidentally allowed someone to "texturize" my curls with shears? 😭😭😭 I worked for a year on my curls and was excited for my first "consultation" with a curl specialist, which turned into "I have time to cut you now, we can really get those curls to bounce!". I had to cut inches of length off to fix the scraggly bottom but the actual curl clumps feel so thin themselves now.
same thing happened to me.. it was only my bangs i think but they went from being ringlets to wavy with no products. i’m pretty sure if you re-grow your hair it’ll be fixed but it still sucks, im sorry they did that to do without your permission ❤
@sam Yeah, I was hoping there was a different answer, lol! I had been growing my hair and recovering my natural curls for a year. It was finally looking healthy and full, but a bit weighed down, so I thought a curly cut would help. I went back to my normal salon and they had to cut a bunch of to get rid of the scraggly look. It's been 7mos and it still isn't the same.
I had a hairdresser lost her to cancer she always thinned out my hair I have thin hair but a lot a whole lot. She must have known how to thin hair it took 10 pounds off my head and always curled beautiful . Can’t find anyone who can cut curls like she did.
It's weird because I have always heard that it's better color hair with dirty hair because the fats of the hair will protect the scalp skin.
I think that’s the case with bleaching hair
Dirty hair actually colors best tbh I’m also a hair stylist. I only really do POC hair so maybe that just works for us
Your content is so helpful Mell! Even the quickest, shortest video!🙌❤️➿️❤️
Do you have any companies or people in other states that know how to cut curly hair properly? I haven’t cut my hair in a year my my ends are….sad and in need of a cut, I don’t know how to cut my hair and don’t trust myself to do it even if I learn lmao
Me, wondering why my curl disappeared after a new hair dresser used a thinning shears 😭 is this why my hair has gone limp and scraggly?!
“Your hair is so ‘thicccc 🥴’ “
*proceeds to thin the fuck out of it*
I swear new natural curlies being taken advantage of at the salon 😭😭😭
Same 😭😭 but I don't know what else I can do. My hair is super heavy and I've a neck injury so the weight doesn't help.
What kind of damage you get with the keratin treatment 😮
Okay but every hairdresser I’ve been to has told me oily hair colors best 🤯
Why can’t you do the last one??
Wait--why no masks overnight???
How do you find a hair stylist that w[rks with curly hair? My hair is thin, has friz and curls. I have a hard time finding anyone that can help.
Same, I never can find a stylist who does a good job with curly hair they always mess it up.
I don't color my hair ✅
I don't do keratin treatments ✅
Thinning shears make my hair look wild in a bad way so...✅
I don't know how people can sleep in a hair mask ✅
I do the wet braid and bun though ❌
And that is where I need improvement for length retention and curl structure retention
Okay but the problem with not putting wet hair into braids is that for me it’s practicality weighs out it’s problems. I do not have the patience to try and work with my hair when it’s dry and is looking a mess when i can simply braid it straight out the shower, let it dry, and take it out when it starts to look rough the next day, resulting in a flawless look that lasts 24h. I have talked myself out of getting keratin treatment but avoiding braids out of the shower (aka the one time i can cooperate with my hair) would make my life a living hell.
Hi, please please advise. How to recover my curls 😫 they went from 3B to 4B after a hairdresser convinced that thinning was the right way to go... my fault, I gave her my approval 😔
Oh man I have totally put my wet hair into a bun, it goes up better, but back then I lived in the desert so it would dry fast.
I use the Schwarzkopf dye with no ammonia, silicone or alcohols. My reasoning for putting it on dirty hair was, I hate to wash it, then dry it, dye, and then wash again. Recommendations? Like can I at least Cowash, dry, dye, and then regular wash?
I’ve gotten very weird about my washing routine since doing the CGM.
Why shouldn’t I leave in a hair mask overnight?
Your hair will become too soft and you might loose your curl pattern
Why no leave in treatment over night?
I don’t understand the hair mask one
Someone thinned my hair at a salon without telling me I'm suffering it's been like a year and a half I'm still suffering I had thick curly hair now I barely even have curls and my hair is hella thin and I'm only 16
My stylist just used thinning shears last time he cut my hair. Only gone to him twice and he blowed dried my hair straight before using those shears. What aren't you supposed to? You can refer to a video if you've answered this before
According to Mel it “shatters the curl” causing a lot of frizz & straggly ends.
I had Keratin treatments in the past 😭
Hey ! may i know the results of that ?
