I used to have my mom iron my hair…like the ones you use for clothing, because it took less time than me using a flat iron. 😅 With my curly hair, it’s definitely that I never refresh my hair. If it needs to be refreshed, then it goes up in a pony tail. 😆

It's nice to hear about this stuff from the "perfect" curly youtubers! Makes me feel a lot more human haha. My curlfessions! Lately I've been waiting way too long to wash my hair, and just leaving it in a twisted bun while tangles just get worse and worse. Sometimes I leave my treatments on wayyy past the time... because I hear the timer go off but I want to "finish doing this one thing really quick" until it's double or triple the time recommended... Also sometimes instead of washing or even cowashing, I'll just wet my hair very very well in the shower and scrub at my scalp with nothing on it, then reapply products once my hair doesn't feel like it has product on it anymore. Depression is hard! Sometimes I can't deal with trying to figure out how to keep my scalp happy after shampooing or cowashing and can only handle plain ol' water that time.

My hair takes so much time and effort and no one is even seeing me so I just leave it up for a few days...or weeks. My hair has gotten so matted it stayed in a high ponytail by itself more than once. And y’know what? It’s okay. I’m okay. It’s not ideal, but I don’t need ideal. I do need a hair cut though XD

I think my biggest curlfession is that I don't always put my hair in a protective style when I sleep and sometimes I'm too lazy to apply product at all. My routine is actually quick and easy so I think you should give it a go especially for those tough days. It's very simple, I wash and condition my hair, detangle before rinsing conditioner then I flip my hair upside down (I use a vinegar rinse here and I don't rinse it out because I have hard water but you can skip that) and brush style in 3 horizontal sections, scrunch a couple of times (literally a couple) and plop my hair in a microfiber towel for about 30 mins (basically until it's as dry as a towel can get it) and remove the towel and let it air dry. When it's completely dry, I smooth over a good thick cream to smooth out frizz and give shine and that's about it, sometimes I use oil instead of the cream if I want my hair to be lighter but the oil doesn't last as long. It's very easy to do for me and takes no time compared to other styling methods (doesn't take more than 10 mins of handling in total other than washing/conditioning). The reason I apply the cream after my hair dries is because it dries way faster and I didn't have a diffuser (got one yesterday and haven't tried it yet) and I don't want my hair to stay wet for too long (if I apply the cream on it damp/wet) because it's damaging and weights it down. Since the cream makes the hair slightly damp again, it's good enough for smoothing the frizz. You can also experiment with your favorite products but I usually only use a cream or oil (or a lil bit of oil after the cream especially on the second day) because it's easier and works well for me. Might sound like a lot since I mentioned all the little details but actually doing it isn't much. Hope this helps!

@@jazsinger21 the products I use are all local products so unfortunately, you won't be able to find the exact products but I can tell what each product is and why I use so you can find a similar one. I use a natural shampoo bar made with olive oil and bay/laurel oil. I don't use normal conditioner unless my hair is super dry, I'd use a random hydrating one before my deep conditioner. I rotate a strengthening and hydrating deep conditioner, for the hydrating one I like it to be rich in oils (argan, coconut and Shea butter) and the strengthening one would be rich in proteins and mainly keratin/hydrolyzed keratin to which I often add some hair oil or argan oil to make it conditioning as well since I have low porosity hair that needs more moisture than protein. The vinegar rinse is simply white vinegar as I don't feel a difference compared to using acv and it doesn't smell once the hair is dry. For the cream, I also like it to be super hydrating so ingredients like cetyle alcohol, oils and Shea/cocoa butter are what I prefer plus argan oil and dimethicone (not sure I spelled that correctly) protect the hair from the heat (I live in a hot climate). I'd mainly rely on trial and error with creams rather than ingredients but I also like to analyze the ingredients to know what works for my hair and what doesn't if I'm interested in a new product. The oil I mainly use for my hair is argan oil mixed with a few essential oils that fit my hair goals which is mainly hair growth so I usually add peppermint, rosemary, lavender and blackseed (argan oil is hydrating so I don't feel the need to add hydrating Essential oils).

Well, pro tip for your routine. Brush style (I do the upside down 3 horizontal sections thing since it's very quick) and plop in a microfiber towel with NO product for 15-30 mins then remove the towel and let it air dry completely THEN apply the products (I only use cream/oil). It dries WAY faster (2 hours for me instead 6+ when I apply the cream/oil on it while damp/wet) it's less damaging since you don't leave your hair wet for too long.

Loved this video. Much more "realistic" approach to dealing with curly hair. BTW, I don't trim it more than 3/4 times a year to maintain classic length (over the booty when stretched).

Mel your confession about playing with your hair...that is ME. And I am sure so many girls do this. I have anxiety and find myself zoning out sometimes and playing with a certain area of the ends of my hair and it is sooo hard to stop. I usually do it when I know wash day is coming and my hair will be up in a bun anyway. It was actually so comforting to know that you do this too and makes me feel not alone. Thanks for sharing...love you guys!

Thanks so much for the shout out for Trichotillomania :) Having people talk about the condition publicly and educating others about it helps us feel so much more included!

Thank you so much for this video. As someone who doesn't have any friends with curly hair, I feel super isolated when there are days that I can't bring myself to take off my bonnet or days that I can't even get myself up to shower, let alone wash and style my hair. Knowing that even Mel and Amanda have those days makes me feel so much better ❤

For the workout one: if you workout at home, use a fan! I point one at my head while I'm on the treadmill and turn as needed. Yeah, you get some frizz, but frizz > a sweaty mess (and I sweat A LOT). You could try brining a handheld fan to the gym, but I don't recommend while COVID is still here 😅

Love it soooo much when you took your hair out of the bun, Mell!! I felt that look in my soul! (as I sit here with a day 7 bun) My bad habit is twirling my hair…but I’m accepting it bc your channel has taught me so many good ways to help my hair.💟🕉

I must confess that I love to wash my hair so I wash 2-3 days a week even if I don't have anywhere to go. I also sometimes wear my bonnet for a while after I get up but mostly I wear my hair up most of the time. Like Mel, I play with my hair. I have been doing it since I was a small child. I twist my hair around my fingers, pull small sections through my fingers and sometimes pull strands completely out.

Oh I just thought of a curlconfession i did back im the HS days…. Using Sun In to lighten my hair while baking in the sun ☀️ all day

I came back to this because while I confess I go too long without washing my hair I am at a loss as to why. In my head I make it out to be such a drama that I put it off. Once it’s washed I love how it feels, behaves and looks and I wonder why I put it off. I feel full of hope once it’s fully washed. What is wrong with me!! 😃

Confession: as a nurse I went years putting my curly hair in a very tight, high ponytail or bun 3-4 days a week. So much so it straightened parts of my hair like a perm. I am better now at wearing it looser and making sure I wear it down on my days off.

Years ago when the whole no poo thing started I use to wash my hair with watered down baking soda and use acv for conditioner 🤣🤣🤣 Much love and happiness xoxo 😘

The color of the year, PURPLE. You guys killed it in this one! And I also have a problem with pulling at my hair a bit too much, plucking some hairs that just don't fit in. Trying to stop, because F off split ends!

I love that you guys don't embrace CGM🥰 I personally think it leads a lot of people away from potentially great products for their hair. I'm a total advocate for knowing ingredients, but the demonization of silicone especially drives me nuts! Personally, i have no issue incorporating silicone in my routine (not overboard though), but my hair can't deal with waxy products like beeswax & paraffin, or heavy emollients like butters, lanolin & mineral oil. It seems to stick. And those with fragile hair can really benefit from using a product containing silicone for detangling or for heat protection. As long as you aren't using products such as cheap conditioners that * replace * hydrating & moisturizing ingredients with silicones, & you don't cowash only, you could at least TRY it out & see how it works. Just my 2 cents though!!

So glad I’m not the only one who avoids working out if my hair is looking bomb! I ALSO twist my hair. Especially if the ends feel wonky it gets obsessive!

This is my favorite video yet. I love the outtakes at the end. I've got a shopping 🛒 going at Curlsmith. My confession is I have been putting my hair up when it's wet. I have a halo of baby hair frizz.

You should check out the boho scarf ideas! I think you girls would love these ideas and also teach us how to do them ! They are soooo fun!!! Love you girls!

My eldest niece has suffered from trichotillomania and at one point plucked out all of her eyebrows and most of her lashes. She also had clumps of her hair coming out, sometimes from stress pulling and someone just regular washing. Initially, we thought she just had eczema and her skin was very dry and itchy all over, but she was recently diagnosed with alopecia at 14 years old 😭 sometimes her hair does grow in but sometimes she gets bad patches, eventually she will lose all her hair. She's learned how to wear wigs and even taught herself how to install a front lace, as well as fill in her eyebrows. I'm extremely proud of her and I admire her confidence. She's taken this in stride and has learned to manage her anxiety to the point that she had not plucked in a long time. At her age idk if I would have had the confidence to do what she does, but she's just the best and loves herself 💕

I love your channel because you do provide info and product recommendations for both CGM and non CGM gals or for those who mix CGM with Non CGM techniques and products. Once I started really diving into my curly hair research I did go straight into the CGM for years BUT i wasn’t getting awesome results that everyone else was. Especially living in a year round humid climate state(southeast Georgia gal) So I then stumbled across your KZread channel and that’s when I learned about how silicones can be beneficial as long as you know how to properly remove the silicones. So I then did my own silicones deep dive research and found natural ingredients that act like silicones AND I also learned about water soluble silicones and the difference between non water soluble vs water soluble silicones. That’s when the light bulb went off. So I do have products that contain silicones BUT they are water soluble silicones(can be washed out with a non sulfate shampoo) so they are easy to wash out and do not create buildup.

I was dying laughing at Mell being in Amanda's hot hot shower clip. My curlfession is that I air dry my hair. I live in Colorado where it's so dry, and I only ever diffuse for special occasions!

You guys are amazing 💜💜💜

I work out 3 times a week. My system for making sure my hair still looks okay after is that I wear the Scrunchit Breath. It is a mesh bonnet. If i put my hair in a bun or pineapple and then get sweaty it stretches the curls out. If i wear the mesh bonnet my hair is usually only slightly affected, even if I get reallll sweaty. I saw a tip recently to apply dry shampoo BEFORE the workout so it can absorb the oils and sweat as you go instead of afterwards. I haven't tried it yet but I plan to as it starts to warm up!

Loved the video!!!

I too will curlfess that I have scheduled wash days when I have to be on camera for work. Otherwise, it may stay pineappled or ponytailed for days. Yay for all the purple!

Can you please do a video sometime on hair that has protein overload? Not sure how to easily determine which products I should/shouldn’t be using on my low-porosity, protein overloaded hair. Thanks!!

Hey loves! I'd love to know some tips you have for interview and professional hairstyles. I'm headed into my PhD program and I want to wear my hair curly. However, all the time growing up I've always been told my natural hair isn't professional. I'd love some help embracing my curls in the professional setting as well

I used to curl my WET hair with a butane curling iron! 😫 On another note, thank you for addressing Trichotillomania.

Oh my

Girls I absolutely love your video! You two are the goddesses of my curly hair journey. I stopped coloring and straightening my hair for a year, followed all of your tips and I’ve never had more beautiful curls in my life! But lately I’ve been having problems to maintain the hold of my curls. I have been really frustrated with my hair and wanted a change so I’ve got a blond balayage for a change. I have a lot of thick hair on my head and thought it wouldn’t damage my hair all too much but turns out that it wasn’t really beneficial for my Problem and I now I’m not even able to get them to curl on day one. Pleeeeease help me seesters I’m desperate!

Yikes. Sounds like your curls were overprocessed. If you no longer have a curl pattern on day one. I would definitely do some bond repair. Curlsmith or olaplex. If these do not help I am so sorry to have to say. That it will likely require growing the color out or a big haircut 😔

About the sulfates thing: Noo, I can never do that. Sulfates are maybe the worst aggressor on my hair, they produce such visible dryness in two washdays!

I love hot showers too! I do turn the heat down a little when it’s time to wash and condition hair though.
