I learned from a Dominican stylist years ago to tie the hair in a high bun, wrap the end of your hair in and secure with a pin. No touch ups needed 🙂

Blow out

“ I don’t care if you straighten your hair, as long as you do it right” I’m glad to be following you now because i love being able to have my hair straight on special occasions. So now I’m saving this video for this blow out style so pretty 🥰

I once straightened my hair in Florida during the summer. Needless to say, by the end of the day my hair was back to normal.

I silk press my 3c hair about once a month. I thought I’d leave some tips for tighter curls for anyone in the comments that cares. I use the Its a ten keratin leave in and Paul Mitchell super skinny serum on damp hair then I blow dry. Then I flat iron. I spray each section with Paul Mitchell Neuro Heat protectant before I pass the iron through. This gives that silky shiny look that lasts a week! The 410 setting is best for tighter curls too, and an iron with titanium plates gives the sleekest look.

I haven't straighten my hair in 6 years and I was thinking about it. I have never died my hair, ever not even fake temporary ones, But was scared. U came at such a good time. What would us curlfriends do without u.

I grew up doing blow outs. As an adult I switched to the flat iron. Now that I’m older I think I prefer the volume, bounce and personality of a blow out much more than just straight. Thanks! I needed that advice on getting those rollers!

Ah I needed this yesterday I just attempted a silk press lol Thank you for not judging/discouraging from using heat and different styles, but rather showing us how to do it safely ❤️

Definitely team Blow Out! When I straighten my hair out, because of my fine texture, it always looks like I don’t have that much hair. I love the voluptuous, bouncy curls from a blow out. Haven’t tried the Velcro rollers yet but need to grab some of those.

I've only ever straightened my hair a handful of times, the last time over 15 yrs ago. I have fine-ish strands, with VERY fine strands around my face. That's also my curliest section nowadays but back then, my front had a looser curl. However, my front pieces would NOT remain straight for more than a few hours. I could never figure out why that was. I always just blamed humidity (I'm in FL), but I didn't know anything about fine hair and hadn't even heard about porosity back then.... But now I'm getting the answers as to why my fine, highpo strands just didn't take to straightening...interesting as always!! Thanks Mell!

I can't even express to you Mel, how helpful and informative your videos are! I have straightened my hair for almost 20 years.. I was 13 when I started, with a METAL cheapo iron that burned my hair to a reddish brown color from my natural deep brown LMAO. This video is a perfect breakdown of the differences between the 2, and no shaming for wearing our curls straight! I adore you chica! 💖🌻

I used to be silk pressin' on the weekly, but have been wearing my hair curly full time for the past three years. I only ever have a blow-out done when I go to the hairdresser once every six months so that they can make sure they've cut my hair properly. I do want to get into blow-outs and possibly silk pressing again because I like having variety. We're pretty lucky that we can have that variety 😊

Oh, getting those Velcro rollers stuck in curly hair is a nightmare! Great idea to put some of the oil on your hands before taking them out. I have had some major snarls! Thank you again, Seesters!

Your videos are always so fun! Love the dynamics between you and Amanda.

Using the Velcro rollers is genius. Am I the odd one? I’ve never wanted to do a blowout or silk press. I just love my curls. I’m also kind of afraid people will say they like the blowout better & I’ll feel insecure. 😂 I did flat iron it once on a dare to only send a pic to one friend. It was so not me. She laughed so hard.

Emily, I had phases where I needed a change and wore my hair straight (even though I love my curls). Almost EVERYONE said I look better with straight hair. After about 1 year or so I decided I will wear my hair curly again and the SAME people told me I look better with curly hair. :D I think people just react to new things on you. :D

this new hair is gorgeous mell!!!

I truly love how you know so much about hair, I don't think you understand how much the information you put out helps people who does not know about her. So thank you for that! Good job Amanda on the video! If I don't get my hand on that Dyson I'm going 2 scream 😤. And happy Thanksgiving from your New York seester!

I love how you explain everything. You really are a master at it. I JUST got the Dyson as a gift and I like how small it is. It seems a lot easier to control. I'll be attempting to straighten my hair tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for me! You're beautiful and fun to watch!

Love the blow out side. Looked so healthy and bouncy! Your videos are so useful and helpful. Just started straightening again for winter as it's much better when you have to stick a woolly hat on 🙄❄ Keep up the good work x

First of all, it took me 2 years to decide to buy the dyson blow dryer.... I dried my thick mixed curly/kinky hair in literally 12 minutes.... also following your advice I straightened it in two passes which is AMAZING... can't wait to see how it lasts this week. I LOVE ALL OF YOUR ADVICE MELL!! YOU ARE A GODSEND!!

I gave myself your latest diy haircut! Didn't even have to "call my mom". 🤣 I love it!!! Thanks, girl!! You always come through!

I would love a video about curling with a straightener! I have a straightener and I know how to straighten somewhat well, curious if I can bring more shape and definition to my pre-existing curls with it

I love the silk press more because for me it makes me feel way different in my hair and gives me more confidence. Is there a video about to heat production products? I need the rundown!

Your hair is goals

Thanks for the tip about setting the blowout with the cool setting! I'm going to try that next time I blow out my hair

Happy Texture Tuesday!! ❤️

I’m Team Blow Out!! I would love to see you do a flat iron curl video!!

Hey Mell as you can see from pic I use to blow dry and flyer?? my hair. After I discovered your vids I’ve been embracing my natural curly wavy all types of hair texture looks.. lol. Thanks Mane Mell for your amazing advice and for being lovely 🤟

Your hair colour and hair is so vibrant and amazing 😍

Not that I am any kind of expert, but I would like to share my methods. I do start with hair that has been given the full spa treatment: scalp treatment, cleanse, deep condition, and oil or leave in conditioner. Then I braid it tightly, sometimes one braid sometimes two, while it's still wet and let it air dry. This reduces the amount of heat that I need to use on my hair but trains the hair to lay smooth-ish. When dry I use another heat treatment and flat iron or a 1-1/2" curling iron for that blow out big wave look. My hair type is 3B and I have a waist length V cut. I have Hashimotos and a partial Thyroidectomy so I struggle with breakage along my hairline and try to be gentle to keep my length.. I only use a blow dryer when I am touching up and using dry shampoo. I thought it was worth mentioning this little tweak can help someone. 🤷🏽‍♀️

WOW!! Both ways look amazing on you! I just got the Dyson hair dryer and can't wait to try a blow out with it. ❤

Looks amazing especially the curly side ❣

I only ever straighten my hair for Christmas so these tips will really help me.

I appreciate that you focus on protecting curly hair no matter how it’s styled

Love this! Great tips. Thank you so much!

I love both. I’m definitely purchasing the Velcro rollers. ❤️❤️

Both and body! I learned everything. Thank you Mel

Sometimes I enjoy the bloopers even more than the main video!!! 🥰Like this jewel!! 🤣Love you both, Chulas!…. Saludos desde Guadalajara México!

Silk press all the way but I love the 70’s waves when I straighten my hair so PLEASE make a video on how to curl with a flat iron! I have never been able to figure it out

Oh my goodness. I used an oil on my hair wet and my hair soaked it up. I thought the oil was "broken " nope it's my hair. Looking gorgeous as always 😍

This helped me finally know why I can never get a non puffy and heavy silk press! 😔 my hair is super fine but dense.

This video is right on time. I gave myself a silk press before Thanksgiving and it lasted two days before starting to friz. That's a record because I too live in Florida. "What's that saying-, "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." I would like tips on how to maintain both techniques; do you touch up with the flat iron if it starts to revert or do you scrap it and wash and reset your hair. I love both looks by the way. I like the sleek look for a more tailored look and the blow out for the body. The blow out can make fine hair like mine look full, while the silk press can give it a more polished finish. Favorite tip-, the blowout technique with the round brush however I fear I would get the brush stuck while trying this 😂

I cannot decide which I liked best on you, I love them both, it makes you look like a different woman. I currently have a blowout as I had a trim at my hairdresser, my hair is wavy so it stays pretty well.

HAPPY TEXTURE TUESDAY❤️

I'm glad to see you using an oil to provide heat protection when flat ironing your hair. I prefer doing this because I feel like sprays leave my hair feeling sticky and gross.

Some great tips here i can share with my stylist if I ever decide to do another blowout or silk press. My problem is that I’m super picky about how my blowouts & silk presses. I want a very specific look at the end of the service. I want to leave my appointment looking like my hair grew out of my head straight. I know this is the main culprit to why my hair was damaged like it was. So I have abstained from straightening my hair because I hate frizzy volume and when my silk press isn’t sleek and shiny. I rather not inflict the damage on my fine color treated hair to preserve my go to curly hair looks.

I just received my Dyson blow dryer. I have used it twice, it's marvelous. I don't need to leave my house air drying my curls or with a wet head to work anymore. I ended up doing the refurbished as it was cheaper than the original new priced Dyson. I am good with second hand. And the pay in 4 by PayPal is awesome as well.

Texture Tuesday is not complete without Mell screaming "Amanda!!!!" And it's definitely not complete without both the seesters on the screen. Loved the last second of the video😍❤️

Both styles are lovely in their own right. But I must say your curls are magnificent!

Loved this video and I have those same Velcro rollers… I like both but the best tip was using the rollers after the blow dry…

I binged watched your mexico vlog because I’m going in December and I’m going to need all the tips I can get😅❤️

I've never seen anyone use my trick when I straighten my hair. I sit in front of a cold fan the whole time. I wait a few seconds between sections to let it cool. Mine lasts up to a week ( it's greasy by then but still flat and shiny)

You are gorgeous and so is your hair! Both looks are amazing on you.

Blowout looks fantastic!

Love this one!! Can you do a video on how to tell if your heat protectant is high quality and how they work? Do you have thoughts on using the revlon one-step dryer to blow out (damage etc)?

Please do the flat iron curl look next sees! Fav side is the curled obvi

I loved finding out about the ingredients in the products and to understand what products I should use depending on the humidity. NO GLYCERIN!!! Please tell me a good gel to use that doesn’t have glycerin! It’s so humid in PA and all my hair turns to frizz! Thank you. You make me smile 😊

You look great! And I love the blow out on myself, I’ve been doing that for years and looks great with layers.

I love both. I would love to try either techniques but can't afford the Dyson. Will save up for one of Dyson next year hopefully. The blow dryer I did buy and never really used is to heavy for me to lift over my head. You and Amanda are super cute.

Both looks are breathtaking 🥰 i think I'm a bit partial to the blowout though...looks so luscious

I really love this video...seeing is believing and I am team blowout. I've been want to straighten my hair for a different look and this video really helped me to decide.

Love all the knowledge you share with us! Would it be possible to do a video on rollers in curly hair? I wanna do a 1940s hairstyle but I’m not sure if it’ll work

My routine is protein treatment and clarify. Finish with very cold water. Blow out with flat brush and a heat protection spray. Straighten in sections with a heat protection cream from tressemme. Sitting in front of a cold fan so the hair cools quicker between sections. Sleep in a low pony tail and bonnet. Shower with my satin bonnet and a large shower cap over top

Hi I just found your channel- love this vid! I used to do hair for 17 yrs. I like that you made this vid! I like your energy /vibe . I just liked and subscribed to you. Introvert mom of 4 sons (2 autistic) loving the KZread community learning from others (using dog therapy music for pups/humans) God Bless!

You look fabulous with that hair color! I like the blow out side better

I like the side with the rollers 👍🏼

You’re cross between 90s Mariah and Beyoncé 😍😍 especially when your hair is curly. Love your videos ❤️

love the tips on velcro rollers and using the comb for tension! what do you think about blow out brushes? ❤️

I've been doing old school roller sets on my long fine hair. It's the same texture as yours. I love it and it feels stronger. Could you do a tutorial?

I tried blowing out my hair and it didn’t come out like that 😂 but this video was super helpful! Now I know to use the curlers.

I’m here for it let’s go

Beautiful 🤩 I love both sides but the blow out side is cool 😃. I can’t wait to get my Dyson Supersonic 🙌 Hey Amanda 👋

Happy texture tuesday! I've been waiting for the new vid to drop! Ik this is off topic but I have a question mell, my scalp has been hurting a lot these days and I'm not sure why, it hurts like someone has pulled on my hair but I'm not doing any hairstyles that would hurt my scalp. I noticed it's been hurting when I wrap my hair in a scarf at night but it makes no sense since I havent been pulling on my hair or anything when I put it in a scarf. Do you know any reasons why I could be getting scalp pain? Thanks!

Love the blow out side. For me, this one is better. I find that a silk press never lasts on me as my hair just decides to curl up on its own. But if I do the blow out with just a hint of curl, I can rock it for a week with no issues. Now I need to get the huge velcro rollers that is genius.

That blue Dyson Supersonic tho! Be still my heart!

I love your videos. I looooved the blow out. OMG, I'm from DR and here people use a lot the "tubis". I was really impress that people from other countries know waht it is

Thank you for the informative video and for explaining and illustrating the difference between a blowout and blowdrying hair!! One question: can't Velcro rollers tear the hair, no matter how carefully you remove them? Thanks in advance!

OMG YES! Thank you! Now I know how to straighten my hair when I need too! during winter season , curls will be loose & style ♥️🌙 Crazy thing when I do straighten my hair , can’t really do blow dryer. I have sensitive scalp, plus super oily depends on weather temperature 🤒. i always wait 30mins after deep clean wash before straighten. No idea why it’s super heavy after straighten verse having nature curls?👀

Both sides look amazing, Mell! Thanks for explaining this. I usually go to the salon for a silk press.

Thanks for sharing. I have curly hair like yours and I always have problems will keeping my hair from frizzying.. I will need to try this oil that you used. Hope it works for me.

I like doing a blowout look on my wavy hair. I use the Dyson Airwrap to achieve it. I only use my straighteners to do waves these days or to straighten my bangs!

I love both and thanks for explaining the different techniques. Will you always roller set a blowout? I thought a blowout was; blow dry hair after wash and condition, then wrap hair. How do you preserve both styles?

I just want to say I always love your videos, this one was especially cute and educational, thanks for always sharing.

Hey mell. Did you add a temporary hair dye recently or did you add a new colour? Seems more on the pink side and I'm loving the colour

can you do a review on the revlon one step hair dryer brush?

I used to be a flat iron/silk press girl. Now Im loving the curls and occasionally straighten. Im not coordinated to blow out my hair lol. Last time I straightened my hair, co workers wondered where I was that day! They thought a new girl was at my desk lol great video as always! ❤️

I am a lazy girl, so I blow dry my hair with the diffuser on low then use a flat iron. You'll use less heat with then fuel with the flat iron since you'll just be going over it once, maybe twice. Plus you'll get to keep the volume of the diffuser.

I’m a blow out girl! I love the volume! And you look stunning with the blowout! 🔥❤️

Funny, I just blew out my hair lol! I like the blowout side, it's bouncy, full and shinier looking 💕 (Love your eyeliner!)

TEEEEAM BLOWOUTTTT! It looks so gooooood!!!

I got my hair blown out not too long ago and the results didn't even last the bus ride home. My hair is just too curly I guess. Watching you do both styles here, I can see I would not be able to do either myself LOL. I decided I want to buy a straight/body wave wig instead. This way I don't have to worry about humidity or rain, damage, nor having to not wash the perimeter of my face for days so I don't wet my edges (and dang widow's peak!)!!
