My Aunt is a hairdresser and got me a professional straightener that I can choose the heat TO THE DEGREE. I love it. Now with these tips im GOOD TO GO lol. (Only once in a while don't worry)
And that without the ridiculous price tag Dyson asks. Dyson only loses to Apple regarding outragenous price tags for their status instead of the products they make.
Heat free for 4 years and it's a bit wild to think about all the heat damage I was doing to my curls. NONE of these steps were in my straightening routine 🥴
constructive criticism POV this is too puffy , i mean when i want to make the choice to straighten my hair I would do it when i want it straight and not puffy , there is a difference between regular hair volume and puffy hair volume , and I’m getting puffy volume vibes from this look but it still looks good on you but not everyone can pull it off
@@Sal0918 she does it right...she says it herself in other videos that she doesn’t want to put more heat, cuz her hair already isn’t in the best state -> colored several times etd
I love the advice, also some constructive criticism, I personally like my hair nearly pin straight when I choose to flat iron it. Your end result just looks like a sleek blow out and not a true press. It’s still looks great though.
I agree. I have very curly hair and I’m able to get bone straight hair using The Glam Twinz method and my hair always reverts fine I only do it two or three times per year.
Agreed. This is what happens if you use 65 degrees and only go over it once, no smoothing serum. If I wanted my hair too look like a blow out I would do a blow out.
I'm glad I'm not the only one thought that, my old not at all fancy straightener gets a sleeker result on lower temps than this really expensive Dyson one.
I think the key to sleek straight hair if you have curly hair is put extra moisture into your hair (for example leave warn castor oil in your hair before washing) and then let your hair air dry mostly, then blowdry when it's not soaking wet, as much as ucan and then go over it with a straightener for the necessary bits.
We get to watch these videos for free. Mel and Amanda put in a lot of time and effort to make these videos. I'm happy to root for them when they get partnerships with brands so they can make some income from their hard work by watching sponsored or affiliate videos. Even if I can't afford a $600 straightener..
Kind of ridiculous that a company isn't ashamed of asking this price for an item probably made in the country that gave the world the V. I'd not buy it even if I could. There are good straighteners out there that do the same without the BS price tag.
I was just thinking about straightening my hair too! I haven’t straightened it in almost two years because I’m scared of heat damage! This video will be so helpful thank you!!
Literally the modifications for different textures in your videos are so incredibly helpful! Thank you for always helping spread the knowledge and love for our hairs❤️ I hope your anniversary was amazing!
It’s so reassuring to see that you don’t need to use the highest heat setting to get your hair straight 😅 I always used to use the hottest setting possible and that is just not the way! 🙈 thank you for another great video! You and your sister are lovely 💜
I straightened my hair religiously from 13-18 (it was pin-straight before that), no blowdrying, no heat protectant, used the straightener on damp hair. I also once found 17 split ends on a single hair at 18; maybe there was a connection.
Pretty funny that you made this video today, as I tried to straighten my bangs with a round blow dryer and they ended up looking like the dust bunny from under my bed. : (
Mell!! Happy Texture Tuesday. Although I've been commenting on the past videos, I'd like to say two things that I hadn't mentioned before: 1. I thank you for reading, answering, and taking into consideration what we say on the comments. That's really awesome. 2. I also want to thank you and Amanda for taking time to make these videos. I know this is a part of your job BUT I also know that, just like everyone else, you most definitely have your own life stuff and it must be hard to create content if you are ever not feeling at your best. Many many many people have felt alone during this pandemic. I have sometimes felt very sad. However, I want you to know the impact that you guys have made through this by being gentle to us, making us laugh, and promoting self-care through hair (which I also find wonderful). In a way, it's like having a friend from afar; and that's pretty cool. Thanks once more and God bless. PD: English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance for any grammar mistakes.
Awe Zoe!! Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. We are absolutely friends and Amanda and I are so happy to have brought you joy and education throughout this time. It's been difficult for all of us but I am hopeful that things will continue to get better! Keep the comments coming and let us know what else we can do, we'll be here creating for you! xoxo
When you said “Any Dominicans watching out there are like, ‘That’s it?!’” I felt CALLED OUT 🥵 🇩🇴 lmaoooo fr though Mel, this was an incredible video! Being a curly girl my whole life I struggled to love and properly care for my hair. It took me a long time to realize that the two go hand in hand. I’d always straighten my hair and over time, as I did it less and less, I’d only use the flat iron the first day of straightening and then the túbi would hold (and re-smooth) my style for me. I straighten WAY less often now, bc thanks to you I have found a renewed passion for my curls and I’m so happy with how far they’ve come!!! I really want these Dyson tools though bc they’d change my LIFE 😭 Anyway I love y’all, stay amazing! Texture Tuesday is my fav day of the week!!! And YES GIRL, TEAM EDWARD LOL that’s a perfect compromise for watching all of the Star Wars movie, I don’t make the rules! 🤘🏽🌞❤️
I haven't flat ironed my hair in over a year 🎉. I had a previous addiction to my hair being straight 24-7. I'm afraid of 1. seeing my curly cut straight and 2. relapsing into my flat iron addicted ways. Great educational video though and as always nice to see your beautiful face Mell 💖.
Lol. I was in the same boat and a week ago I did a blow out to straighten with a brush and without the straightener for the first time in a year, and my hair looked so shiny and smooth. It grew and it’s almost all brand new so the shine was incredible. The next time I washed it, it went all back to curly again, without frizz or losing any waves 🤷🏻♀️
@@roselynmvm oh that's good to hear, I bet it was a huge visual transformation. Glad it all went back without any visable damage. I can tell by my imporved hair health. That if I did flat iron it, it would look much healthier and more shinny then before. My haircut on the other hand I dunno 🤭.
@@rachellep2581 I bet it would look great with the flat iron. But I wonder if then the curls would be affected. Not sure. You should get a haircut that you like so you can enjoy your new healthy hair to the max 😉
not trying to sound shady, but your hair looks like it was straightened and than exposed to some humidity. It doesn't look very sleek, its more of a blowout look than a flat ironed one in my opinion , is that because a low heat was used?
Highly likely. The only way to get hair super sleek is with heat, unless hair is ultra healthy. But she does have bleached/color treated her so she probably really needed that heat to smooth out that hair. They should have tried to get a model with a different type of hair for this demo 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much for all of your videos!! I’ve been binging your videos for the past couple days. I just got my hair highlighted and have learned so much from your videos. My curls already look 100% better. You are doing the lord’s work for us curly girls!
Great video. After my last damaging attempt I thought I should never straighten again. You gave me confidence that I can do it without damage. My straight hair alter ego is Nikki. 😆. I see yours as Sasha.
Just bought the dyson hairdryer thanks to you it definitely is in a different league. It’s great to see the straighteners being used for realistic results. Maybe my next purchase once I’ve paid off the hairdryer 😊 x
I got one too during the spring Sephora sale. I saved $80 on that sucker. I have never spent so much on a hair tool ever. I have a $160 curling wand and I did get my use from that over the last 3 years. I’m now trying to embrace my natural waves/curls. I used the dryer for the first time last night and so far I like it. Not sure it’s worth the price just yet! Gotta keep using it 😊
Has anybody else spent their whole life cranking the heat setting up on their curling iron because they thought the hotter the iron the faster the curl, or is it just me?
I hardly ever straighten my hair anymore as well still watched the whole vedio. Last time I straightened mine was to cut it and home with my husbands help I washed and styled it in its natural waves right after.
I tried your tips when I woke up with 3rd day hair that I was planning to straighten... it turned out the best that I have probably ever done 🤣 thank you sooo much!
I thought for years I had frizzy ends or split ends until I realized I have thick coarse wavy hair. I’d pick out hairstyles that were never gonna happen with my hair and not understand why. Now I get it! Lolol.
I have long, thick, curly coarse hair. I've been doing this same process for the last 12 years and I'm done torturing myself. During the pandemic, I let my hair dry naturally with some diffusing and have been wearing it up all this time. What a relief and a revelation it's been. Despite the fact that I was able to achieve a nice silky 'pageant hair' look, I just can't do it anymore. Will no longer put myself through a hellish wash day spending 35 minutes trying to get all the moisture out, then flat ironing. And in the summer? It was like exercising in a sauna to dry my hair in the bathroom. What's the point in taking a shower when you're covered with sweat afterwards? Now I'm thinking about cutting my hair in a long pixie. If it looks good, it would change my life forever. BTW, Dyson products are made in China and if you look under the hood, they are not all that.
It came out so good, so amazed by the one pass. I’ve been on the fence on getting it but heard so many mixed feelings. Think I’m just going to be the judge of it lol I love my hair dryer.
I would have no hair left if I ran that kind of brush through it that many times. Literally every time I *touch* my hair I get a handful of hair fall. Honestly, I'm amazed every day that I still have hair on my head because so much of it comes out.
I haven’t enjoyed an ad this much since the last video, lol. I love the way you teach how to do hair in a way that makes you happy, I really needed the help with my fine curly hair
I noticed that too. Definitely would have thought her hair would have came out silkier with a dyson. At the end of the video her hair was still puffy and a bit frizzy. I’ve gotten my hair way smoother with a cheap flat iron😅
You always have me comming back for more. Be it vids about something completely unrelated for me and my hair, I still watch cause you are such a energygiver. Don't forget to recharge after giving us all an energyboost :)
Oooh thank you thank you. Been hoping for this video bc straightening used to last a week and look so good, now it's all pouffy and doesn't last an hour
Your hair looks SO AMAZING in this video!!!! I’m only sixteen seconds in, and I have to tell you, Mell, it’s so effortless and “un-styled”-if that makes sense? I love this look on you so much! You should wear it like this (or record your videos when it’s in this phase of wear) more often! You’re always gorgeous, but this look opens up your face more and shows off more of your hair’s texture. SO, SO pretty!!! 💕🌸
I honestly would recommend the GHD as it is not 500 dollars. It still is expensive but you can pay easy payments on QVC (same with Dyson) . I like it because it doesn’t heat up over 365. I haven’t had any damage yet.
Well, I know what Hair Damage is! Years of Blow drying on High Heat, on my Super Dense, but Spider Web Fine, hair!!! I never truly knew, I had Curly Hair, until I gave up blow drying it on HIGH! The damage, is almost gone! One more Good Trim, and it will be gone! As always, Thank You❣️ You're amazing!!! I died at your comment about "Damp" hair! 😂🤣😂 You truly make styling your Hair, a Lot of Fun!
I have curly/ringlet curls and it is highlighted. I used to straighten my hair for years and then stopped and went curly. I have been curly for over 10 year now. But, I do straighten my hair from time to time, however whenever I do my hair goes really fluffy (not frizzy), this never used to happen. It has been over the past couple of years, this makes me not want to straighten it because it just looks a mess and becomes pointless in having spent the time straighten it. I use smoothing shampoo and conditioner and heat protectant. Why does it go fluffy?
You are too funny. It’s cool seeing how diverse our hair can be but I looooove your curly hair! I love twilight too but I’m team Jacob lol and I also love watching Gilmore Girls :)
Have you tested out the blow dry brushes that are out there at all?? (The Revlon, drybar, etc) I’ve been debating one but I’m wondering about the heat damage from using those
Do you have any tips on how to keep hair from reverting back or to keep it as straight as possible during a workout without having to apply heat through it again ?
i’m not mell (obviously) but if you still need some tips, from experience i normally put it up in a bun or ponytail or in a clip. then i spray my roots with dry shampoo so it can absorb some of the sweat. and then i just pray for the best lol.
Ahhh! I just adore you, you have helped me so much! I hope I get a chance to meet you n your sister one day! Thank you for all your help and your videos, they have helped me so much. Love you and your videos 💕💕
Me over here with my Hot Tools straightener on the highest setting, on my extremely fine and damaged hair (was like 3A/3B before damage), only brushing my hair like every 3 days 😂 At least I use a heat protectant though, even if it is the Garnier one
My hair is like yours. I have to use a dryer with the brush attachment. Old school type. Otherwise, its frizzy and too poofy like yours was after it is dried. The dryer that I use makes it almost smooth enough to pass as straightened before I actually straighten it. I now dont need to use the flat iron as much.
But what about straighteners that are used WET TO DRY??? Like the Remington Wet 2 Straight hair straightener?? Are those worse for your hair?!! I have fine hair and the results are so nice and I keep the heat at 180°. The first time I used it a few of my curls didn't bounce back after showering and I'm really scared to use it again. PLEASE HELP!
Well now, I do believe I may finally consider straightening my hair again now that I know I did it all wrong back in high school and college -- oh dear my poor hair! Will start with the hair dryer first and see if my inexperienced self can manage a blowout and then go from there 😉
Tubi is life!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 hahaha love that shouted that out! This was very helpful I haven’t straightened in years and used to be on relaxed all day long, lived in straightened hair in a tubi!!! Hahaha.

I agree it’s very puffy, not the vibe I go for. I think a bit more heat is necessary to get it more silky
I have too much hair to do it puffy either. My hair will just frizz out. Looks great on Mell but that would not work in me for more than an hour.
Yeah, if I leave my hair like that it'll start getting frizz in 5 mins and it will start to curl too

I know what I want for Mother’s Day this year! 😍🥳
Mell is literally the BEST human 😩😩🥰🥰
This tips worked! I am so amazed how easy it was to straighten my 3B curls.
Great tips Mel as always! Makes me want to straighten my hair. Can I just say the hair blowing in the wind in the bloopers is just FAB! Lolol
Oh, I'm here and taking NOTES
Oooh thank you thank you. Been hoping for this video bc straightening used to last a week and look so good, now it's all pouffy and doesn't last an hour
Your hair looks SO AMAZING in this video!!!! I’m only sixteen seconds in, and I have to tell you, Mell, it’s so effortless and “un-styled”-if that makes sense?
I love this look on you so much! You should wear it like this (or record your videos when it’s in this phase of wear) more often! You’re always gorgeous, but this look opens up your face more and shows off more of your hair’s texture. SO, SO pretty!!! 💕🌸
Dominican watching this as always 🙋🏽♀️🇩🇴!!
Omg I was gonna straighten my hair tonight for the first time in 6 months tonight. Lmao perfect.
I honestly would recommend the GHD as it is not 500 dollars. It still is expensive but you can pay easy payments on QVC (same with Dyson) . I like it because it doesn’t heat up over 365. I haven’t had any damage yet.
Well, I know what Hair Damage is! Years of Blow drying on High Heat, on my Super Dense, but Spider Web Fine, hair!!! I never truly knew, I had Curly Hair, until I gave up blow drying it on HIGH! The damage, is almost gone! One more Good Trim, and it will be gone! As always, Thank You❣️ You're amazing!!! I died at your comment about "Damp" hair! 😂🤣😂 You truly make styling your Hair, a Lot of Fun!
Since you're Italian, straight-hair Mell should be the Mella Lisa 😁💜
We need that twilight tictok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Follow @sarahelizabeth327 and thank me later 😂😂😂
OMG LOVE THE TWILIGHT SHOUT OUT AT THE END (I did not know it was possible to love Mell more than I already do, but hey, not mad at all)
I have curly/ringlet curls and it is highlighted. I used to straighten my hair for years and then stopped and went curly. I have been curly for over 10 year now. But, I do straighten my hair from time to time, however whenever I do my hair goes really fluffy (not frizzy), this never used to happen. It has been over the past couple of years, this makes me not want to straighten it because it just looks a mess and becomes pointless in having spent the time straighten it. I use smoothing shampoo and conditioner and heat protectant. Why does it go fluffy?
You are too funny. It’s cool seeing how diverse our hair can be but I looooove your curly hair! I love twilight too but I’m team Jacob lol and I also love watching Gilmore Girls :)
I feel lucky you post a video after I get my dyson straightener.
What dryer do you suggest when you can’t afford the Dyson? I feel like I use the dryer forever and it causes damage for both curly and straight.
As long as the heat is comfortable on your scalp/skin, it won't damage your hair
You look like rapunzel when you straighten your hair!!!!!😍
Have you tested out the blow dry brushes that are out there at all?? (The Revlon, drybar, etc) I’ve been debating one but I’m wondering about the heat damage from using those
Lol! So cute cross eyed! Am I the only one who noticed Mell cross eyed for a few seconds?
Do you have any tips on how to keep hair from reverting back or to keep it as straight as possible during a workout without having to apply heat through it again ?
i’m not mell (obviously) but if you still need some tips, from experience i normally put it up in a bun or ponytail or in a clip. then i spray my roots with dry shampoo so it can absorb some of the sweat. and then i just pray for the best lol.
This is so so helpful! Thank you so much! I’ve learned so much and really appreciate your editing with these videos- informative and engaging!😍😘
My seester Amanda always nails it with the editing, thank you for appreciating that we appreciate you!! xoxo
Ahhh! I just adore you, you have helped me so much! I hope I get a chance to meet you n your sister one day! Thank you for all your help and your videos, they have helped me so much. Love you and your videos 💕💕
hii mell!! i would love it if you could make a video about protecting your hair while working out! love youu
Yas I'm working it out ;) make sure you see this video on that topic in the meantime!: czcams.com/video/yE3FlfDYpmc/video.html
Thank you!! Very helpful to know not to air dry first. Definitely made that mistake before because blow drying takes forever and I’m lazy! 😂
Yess I have been waiting for this!!!!
Us curly girls no matter the texture always be getting that puffy straight look damn its annoying
How about if you do a roller set, will the result be the same?! Please make a video of this!!! I must say I got hype when I heard tubi!!!🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Me over here with my Hot Tools straightener on the highest setting, on my extremely fine and damaged hair (was like 3A/3B before damage), only brushing my hair like every 3 days 😂
At least I use a heat protectant though, even if it is the Garnier one
Out of the last 10 years of owning a hair straightener, I’ve probably only worn my hair natural like maybe a dozen times
I did so much wrong omg. Thank you so much for this 🥺
YESSS! 😄😄 Thank you so much for this lol I needed this video in my life
My hair is like yours. I have to use a dryer with the brush attachment. Old school type. Otherwise, its frizzy and too poofy like yours was after it is dried. The dryer that I use makes it almost smooth enough to pass as straightened before I actually straighten it. I now dont need to use the flat iron as much.
dyson + purple hair straightener = amazing!!!
But what about straighteners that are used WET TO DRY??? Like the Remington Wet 2 Straight hair straightener?? Are those worse for your hair?!! I have fine hair and the results are so nice and I keep the heat at 180°. The first time I used it a few of my curls didn't bounce back after showering and I'm really scared to use it again. PLEASE HELP!
Love ! But can you make a video with a affordable flat iron, would love to get a Dyson but both dryer and flat iron together is almost 1000$
What if you have fine strands,thin density,frizzy,not color treated hair? Not thick,coarse hair is the only type that frizzes.
I've been wanting to straighten my hair for a little while now. Thanks for the tips!
Absolutely!! I hope you follow these steps for the perfect straightening!
Very Mellegant 😍💁🏽♀️
PS my arms got tired just reading the title of the video
omg the fact that ive been looking for such a video and low and behold u drop one, God sent 🤣💜 excited to try!!
Your hair looks so cool in your pic
@@lagatita1623 oh that isn’t me lol, that’s park jimin of BTS ^^ he does look handsome doesn’t he? 😊
@@valancystirling yeah I love the style and great color
Well now, I do believe I may finally consider straightening my hair again now that I know I did it all wrong back in high school and college -- oh dear my poor hair! Will start with the hair dryer first and see if my inexperienced self can manage a blowout and then go from there 😉
Tubi is life!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 hahaha love that shouted that out! This was very helpful I haven’t straightened in years and used to be on relaxed all day long, lived in straightened hair in a tubi!!! Hahaha.
Me, I'm that Dominican watching that never wrapped their hair as a kid. I think I just knew my head was huge lmaooo. Love your content as always!
LOL wrapping is life changing when the hair has been straightened! Thanks for watching 💖💖
I can't wrap my hair. All of the pin marks stay in my hair no matter whether I use Bobby pins or flat ines. In ruins the straightening for me.
@@abbyb1481 My mother takes the pins out soon as she secures the wrap with that net cap. I don’t know the nail in English but the marks are definitely avoidable !
