Your bad side is a good side for me. I'm transitioning (4 months) and I'm still amazed I have big curly hair after years of thinking it was straight.

Girl, I watch your videos and feel like I'm coming to class completely unprepared. After about 2 minutes in I'm scrambling for a notebook and pen. I didnt know there was so much I needed to know. You are a Godsend!! Thank you!!

Thanks so much Mell! After 40 years walking on this planet and hating my curly hair,you made me like and fall in love with my hair for the first time in my life. In this last 2 weeks since discovering your channel and following your tutorials,I can say that my hair looks bomb.com. And I realized that I wasted so much time and energy to straighten my hair,when in reality I had my pot of gold in top of my head. Ps...hi seester!!

I have very heavy, very coarse, wavy-curly hair (2c-3a). Once I rinse out my conditioner, I absolutely cannot pull my curls in any way or else they stretch out too much and frizz up. I know "just scrunching" in product is supposed to be "bad" now, but it's literally the only thing that works for me. I can't use praying hands, raking, or finger coiling. Instead I kind of pat the product all over my head, and scrunch away. Do's and don'ts of curly hair are helpful, don't get me wrong, but I really think it's all about finding what works best for YOU. If you're trying a method that is supposed to be a "do" and it's not working or you don't like the result, do it how you think looks best! As long as you're taking care of your hair's health, you do you boo boo!

Girl you just taught a black girl how to do her hair . Thank you this has helped me so much.

Am I the only one who thinks the left side looks good as well?

I think it looks better because of the volume

I don't know where you've been for my whole ass curly hair journey but you're a game changer

Having curly hair is sUCHHH a flex when you know how to properly take care of it. I’m getting there mel im getting there!

Your steps are on point but may i say i prefer the puffy voluminous side🤷‍♀️

Whew Lord I am overwhelmed 😂 you should do virtual 1 on 1 styling sessions because I would definitely sign up for a class!

Even her "bad" Side looks better than my efforts. I'd be happy with the bad side

Even your "bad" side looks good!😂 Thank you for this. I am always afraid I'm going to use too much product, and usually fall short.

Why do I love the left side too? That’s how my hair looks all the time 🤣 the bigger the better!!!!

I would love review videos about affordable drugstore curly hair products, like Maui moisture, cantu, shea moisture, etc

You’re one of the few people I don’t get bored watching when I need information about my hair :((💕

I love your videos. No offense to the other youtubers but you're the first one that I find that isn't self absorbed annoying. You give the best tips not because you want the game but because you are so passionate about curly hair! You're doing a great job keep it up!

Am I wrong for loving the "don't " side? All of that volume!

Another great curly hair tutorial, Mel. I have the same hair type as yours. I was lazy today and got my hair to look like a nest. The birds were ready to swoop in on it 🤣

The "don't" side aint all that bad MELL!!! LOL

Honestly, your videos have helped me sooo much. I got in a car accident and broke the bones in my wrist on my dominant hand. I went from straightening my hair all the time to forced to have my natural curly hair down. And I say forced because I wasn’t even able to put my hair in a ponytail at the time. Thank you so much you’ve made me fall back in love with my curls!

I like both sides 😍😭😭

My sister walked in on me watching this and goes... "Is that Shakira?" haha

I kinda Love the big and fluffy “wrong” side more 💁‍♀️😁

Thanks for the professional level info and your sense of humor. I'd love to see more on fine curls. So hard to balance frizz reduction, body, definition, and keeping your style intact for more than a minute when each strand is so delicate.

There’s literally no way I’m not subscribing I learned so much here 😳😳

I like the frizzy side the only thing is that theres two harsh layers n thats what looks wild...

My hair looks exactly like your not side so I clicked on your video right away and I just realized I’ve been doing 80% of those things 😭😭 I can’t wait to try out these techniques .

The joy Mell gets from the squish of her hair is on a whole other level. My heart is telling me that I need to find something that simple that gives me that much happiness.

I suspect I don’t add enough product because I’m a cheapskate and don’t want to use my products up too quickly 😂

Mell, I know this sounds crazy, but I like my soaking wet. When I hear the squish sound I know the leave-in is in the hair. I add the gel then squish my hair let it air dry I live in south Florida and its freaking hot so I take advantage of the heat. By the time I get to work by 10 am my hair is completely dry. I get great curls and this method works for me.

Oh Mell! I love your DON’T!!! It is so FULL!!!! So “fluffy”! So GORGEOUS!!! I would love to see it twice as long, and even more fluffy! You are so beautiful, so pretty! You steal my eyes and my heart! Thank you for your video!!! 🙂

I rock the "dont" side..and i love it🤷 Liked the vid too

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I DON’T need handfuls of product on my fine, thin hair. Game changer.

Would love to see more videos on wavy hair.

thank god i found your channel, you’re saving my hair! i have really thick and really long (to my butt) 3a/3b hair but unfortunately since i have colored them they don’t curl up like they used to :( btw you’re so young but you have a lot of experience and i love the way you explain how we should treat our hair, it makes me think i’m talking with a friend (who knows everything about my curly hair😍). actually i wish i was your friend hahahaha

The "good" side lookd a little crispy to me

I would love to see a video with advice for people trying to embrace their curls for the first time. I haven’t worn my curly hair down since I was a little girl, I always just throw it up in a braid or bun. I don’t even know where to begin with my hair. I think my hair is like a 3A but I’m not totally sure.

I'm not one to comment online but you are my savior!!! I've struggled with my curly hair since forever... Growing up I'd have my mom spend hours straightening my hair, and as a young adult I'd chemically straighten it. If this pandemic has had one silver lining it's been finally having the time to educate myself on how to treat my curls. My hair now looks absolutely gorgeous. Today I finally completed my routine with a gel and oil and I look like I've just had my hair done professionally. Thank you so so much for everything you do!!!!

For some reason, everything makes so much more sense when you explain it! Love your videos Mel. 😍

I hate how her don't side looks better than my hair

Love that density measurement for products

Omg! Just found you these days on youtube and I love the way you present things related to wavy and curly hair. I love your sense of humor! Fantastic!

I wish I could make my curls look half as good as the bad side!

Tiffany Morris It’s quite alright to wash daily! You should use daily shampoos (like Not Your Mother’s and Shesmoisture products) 𝐎𝐫 co-washing (just using conditioner) but, i’m not sure if you HAVE to actually wash it with shampoo. if you don’t have to, then i rlly recommend co-washing😊 i have to wash daily because of my oily hair, so it’s difficult for me to not wash it😅

Yeees! This is so helpful! Products can only do so much u have to know how to apply them right. Thank I for the tips- every curly and wavy girl needs to do this

Your curly hair tips are life saving (and I love your personality) THANK YOU

I like the more fluffy part with volume, I think volume is more sexy. The right side looks good too but looks more wet as if it was just with a lot of styling oil. Also pretty but more romantic/ normal and less sexy. I think all girls who want less friz and less volume more defined curls over time even without using anything they should use organic mic of oils more often and do oil masks like Italian girls do. just buy oils on amazon peach kernel sweet almon argan and jojoba oil and mix them in a big bottle and add (rose dracena oil for smell or maybe organic vanilla oil for smell- add only few drops to the base oils because these are much potent should not be used alone on skin or hair. Put the oil mix after shower on moist hair they will absorb over time just don’t put too much unless before bed as a pre morning wash mask .. And collagen and keratin masks could be nice as well...

She hasn't scrunched out the crunch or picked out & fluffed the right side yet. Once she does, it won't look hard or wet. It will be soft, defined and voluminous. Plus it will last for days.

absolutely love seeing these side by side comparison videos!

i honestly love your channel ever since i’ve started watching i have seen a crazy difference in my hairrr🤗🤗
