Hi Amanda!!

PLEASE make the 'readers' a regular thing! That's the first time I laughed all day 🤣

Those "readers" are everything 🤣🤣 you should've brought scientify mell out for this one though lol we miss her!! great video as always!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘

as a very busy student that does not have the financial freedom to buy the top end curly hair care products, all I have ever used is stuff from the drugstore for 10 bucks max. Would really appreciate more reviews on budget friendly/drugstore products!

Please try more drug store brands and let us curly's know what works? Love your channel.

The l'oreal bond repair line is almost identical to the redkin acidic bond line. Imo the biggest difference is smell. Most (if not all) redkin products have a l'oreal version. Hope this helps.

Would love to see the "No plastic"/zero waste review. Like conditioner/shampoo bars, or aluminum refills for styling gel, creme's etc. Love your videos!

There's nothing like a Texture Thursday after a way too long day at work!!! The readers are absolutely fabulous!!!

I come for the curly advice. I stay because of the laughs. You are the best Mel!!!

Love the 90’s curls. You rock the natural look ❤

Have you tried L'Oréal's bond repair line in the pink bottles? If not, could you please? I bought the shampoo and conditioner and only used it a few times and didn't notice much of a difference, but would love for you to do a deep dive on that and maybe other lines as well, and find which affordable option would be the best.

There are so many of these brands coming out with bond repair products. Thank you Mel for reviewing and your honesty. Love the glasses 🤣

The Aveda Therapeutics line and alcohol free hair spray tip from you was life changing for me. My curls have never lasted longer. Bounce curl alcohol free spray was sold out, so I ended up on detox shop and purchased Rahua alcohol free spray.. Spring in NY here and this is the perfect transition combo. I am an OG to your channel and love your honesty and straightforward advice. from one Mel to another, love ya!

Happy Texture Thursday!! I've been wanting to try the Marc Anthony line but haven't heard much about it so thank you as always!! Much love and happiness!! Xoxo 😘

As a curly girl who occasionally straightens (see: MAYBE 2-3 times a year 😅) one trick I’ve found to make detangling in the shower easier when going back to my natural hair, is to dry brush out any knots before I hop in the shower. makes the process so much easier but also lose significantly less hair!

This was definitely a job for scientify Mel!!!

I love a side by side especially with more affordable products, I always trust your recommendations. I just got the Not Your Mother's Leave In Conditioner and I like that it has protein for my fine hair.

Your hair looks amazing with no product! ❤

Love you Mell and especially in this video. Your knowledge, your attention to detail, your humour 😍💐. You're gifted when it comes to explaining processes in hair care and breaking down product ingredients into bite sized understandable pieces. You are a joy to listen to and watch. And those readers😂😂🤓. Keep up your amazing work. You are a tonic and a true natural in all you do here. Brava Mell 🎉💯❤️ Keep

Just love you so much! So fun to watch and we learn at the same time!

Appreciate your review!!! Very helpful! Love the glasses and you!!! ❤

I love the readers! You explain things so well and your reviews are SO helpful. My family says they feel weird getting me shampoo and hair care for presents but I love it. I'd really love some reviews/comparisons of what you use on "naked" days. I'm doing them more often and really like some of them. I only have in ghost oil right now but it doesn't feel quite so protected. Thank you thank you thank you for all you do for us curlys!

You are so right - caring for your hair is on-going. Ive taken a year off really looking after my hair during some lifestyle changes and my hair has really suffered. Just getting back into caring for it. Thanks for the comparisons.

Happy Thursday Mel . I started my curly hair journey with Marc Anthony..as time went on I switched shampoos ..I need to go back to my OG shampoos ~ conditioner ~ treatments..🌹 Thank you for the curly hair education.. Enjoy your evening

Mahalo for the info. I've never tried either of the products, and I'm pretty sure I never will. I'm not rich by any means, but I will protect my long curls.

Gorgeous color.

Thank you for the review I love your videos ❤

Great review, thank you ❤

Would love a video with traveling tips. My husband and I will be vacationing and traveling several times in the coming months and I could use good hair packing ideas.

That Marc Anthony mask is soooo good

Excellent content! I've only tried NYM gel and hated it. I've been using Evanyc and Twist products with fine results. I've decided to try travel size sets of nicer brands to see if there's a noticeable difference. One use of Olaplex 3, 4,5 I had amazing resukts. Living proof shampoo and conditioner were on par with my regular products but I did not like the scent at all. Verb is next! You inspire my Mell! (I just know we're going to lose you to Broadway) Excellent editing Amanda! 💗💗

Mell you always come thru! Appreciate this drug store comparison and now with this I can say I won’t be buying either LOL but rather save my coins for the good stuff. Mother’s Day is around the corner LOL and olaplex has been on my wish list for a hot minute !

Hey Mel! I just got curly bangs for the first time and they are a bit too short, can you do more videos about styling and elongating curly bangs? Thanks love your videos! ❤

holy cow! I JUST thought about you and looked you up! I don't think I've ever been this early! I really like the short hair on you! You can pull off any kind of hair length!

P.S. I love your videos!! You are so funny!!

Mell! I’m a new follower. Right now what’s working for me is using curl cream and gel, can I do these same products everyday? What should my daily routine be like?

I use the Marc Anthony Bond spray when I diffuse and dry my hair for heat protection. I really like Marc Anthony products.

Just realised I probably need to use treatments as your day 1 hair is mine styled with products and your day 3 hair is mine on day 2 😂 Love you and the time and research you put into your videos ❤

Hi Mel, Nexxus has released a bonding system......would love for you to do a review

your hair is giving mom from spy kids and I love it

Love the color

I clarified my hair this morning. Going to go do an Olaplex treatment so I can color my hair tomorrow. I like to do the Olaplex before and after my color. My problem is in the ongoing maintenance with the bond building treatments. I just don't have the time to dedicate to that. Will definitely work on that.

I always incorporate pre shampoo masks after shampoo for the same reason. Also I'd love for hairdressers to focus on hair science and haircare and not commissions from marketing high end products. L'Oreal owns Redken yet one is more recommended than the other solely because of price. Products don't do anything when a hairdresser butchers the fuq out of your hair. Also K18 is $75 for 15ml.

What’s your lip combo? It looks so good!

Mel, I LOVE your haircut in this video. Can you tell me which type of curly haircut did you use: Rezo, Deva, or other (please explain)? I am trying to find a curly hairdresser in my Phila suburb area, and I need to know what specialty to look for…

Hi Mell! I really appreciate this video and that you mentioned how “bond building” has become such a powerful word for marketing. I’m curious if you would recommend doing a shampoo before the Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve (which is also a pre-treatment). Additionally, I have really been loving the Olaplex 4c (I have super hard water… it’s made SUCH a difference! Thank you!) but would it be better to alternate the two? In other words, is the olaplex 4c removing what is supposed to be left behind by the Curlsmith Rehab Salve?

You are so funny! ❤

I'm going to curl-fess, I got highlights and I had to straighten my hair during the process. Then after the bleach and tone process, I straightened my hair the same day... But I would love to learn why using products that promote bonding will be best to revert your curls? I always loved your scientific/professional explanation to learn about curl care! Thank you!

Great video! Have you tried the RedKen Bonding Hair Care products?

I think she did a review side by side with olaplex !

U are totally gonna have to review the new Redkin Acidic Bonding Curls line. It’s even more acidic than the other ABC line.

I would have said that I was basically giving the tripod a pole dance over a lap dance 😆😆 either way I died!!

Love your videos. I’m having difficulty getting good results with brush styling. I can’t seem to get consistent results on both sides. Can you simplify brush styling? Also sectioning my hair does not seem to go well. Thanks! ❤️

What are your thoughts on the Redken Acidic Bonding line?

I have medium thickness curls, high porosity, and its weighed down by almost every type of treatment I've used. I'm still on the hunt for one!!

Love this review especially since I recently dyed my hair! The readers 😂

I'd love to see some reviews of Kristin Ess products. I have fine, low porosity waves, so lots of products are too heavy, but I noticed that Kristin Ess has several products that are described as "lightweight".

I actually bought the shampoo and conditioner from Marc Anthony on sale and I loved it. My hair is feeling much healthier for sure. Are there any good affordable products for thinning hair that actually work? I had Covid twice and my once thick hair is thinning fast.

The READERS 😂❤

If we're talking about olaplex and k18... K18 is 1 treatment that works so well with damaged hair (I'm referencing the hair mask). Olaplex only seems to work good if you get your hairdresser to straight up use it on your hair (like they mix the chemicals themselves), but their whole product line is disappointing. I checked the website for k18, and it looks like they're going the olaplex route for making more products. I hope they're as good as their original hair mask! Like I hope they don't dilute their bonding ingredient in other basic ingredients like olaplex did.

Could you do a video on kids curly products? I know it’s not your target audience but there isn’t much help on KZread for littles. I have wavy hair but my baby has curly hair and I don’t know what is good/safe to use on such virgin curls. Plus I feel like the focus on the market is detangling products but I’m looking for everyday care.

I noticed Shea Moisture has a bond repair line. Would be interested in your opinion on those

Hey Mel, long time no see curly fairy!!

They added a lot of new Marc Anthony products to that line styling wise and I’m so excited to try I loved the leave in spray personally! A thick spray in a nice bottle is hard to find 😆

What's your opinion about the Redkin Bond treatment line?

Hi Mel 🖐🏼, how about Nexxus?

I got the Marc Anthony leave in only and it absolutely weighs down my fine curly hair, so I do not actually use it, unless my hair is wet wet. I am using the L’Oréal bond builder set, but for me it also builds up quite quickly.Who knows, maybe my hair is just not as damaged as I thought.

What’s your opinion on Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Bond Building line? I personally use that as my affordable go to for my curls (the shampoo and the mask) when it comes to bond repair. I’m curious about Shea Moisture’s new Bond Repair Line as well, do you and your sister approve of that one?

What do you do when you need to wash your hair, but don’t have enough energy to style it? Any advice would be helpful ❤

If I could only pick one do you recommend the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask or the Olaplex No 6 Bond Smoother?

Can you test the Korean Elizavecca CER-100 range?

Can you recommend drugstore products for thick 3A hair in an area that has hard water?

Can you review the bond treatment from Curlsmith?

I ues tough love intense bonding treatment I love it I not use there shampoo I use my shampoo and hair mask

If i have relatively healthy hair, no harsh color or heat styling, would I still benefit from using K18? 🤔

Did I miss a hair straightening video?? Which one did you use?

I love your videos. I don’t have damaged hair really as I don’t use hot tools or dye my hair. I also have very non porous but fine hair. No matter how long I hover diffuse my scalp is always the last thing to be dry. My hair is completely dry but my scalp will be damp. My hair holds onto moisture really well. I really want to see an in depth video on how to section hair and style for non porous hair since you and your sister always have porous hair for examples.

Hover diffusing is for the start and majority of your drying time but not necessarily the entire routine. Once you start to get the firm cast on your hair from your gel, mousse, or creme, you absolutely are meant to flip your head around and /or stick the nozzle right against your scalp to finish drying if needed.

@AshleiShipp

@@afrotiffy I do exactly that. I start with hover diffusing then move head and hair around and put the nozzle on my scalp. But I have low porosity and fine hair. My hair took more than 20 minutes to be just damp and my scalp was damp. But I also do not form a cast with the curling foam gel she created with verb. I have used more and less and I cannot get a crunch or cast. I just am tired of my hair routine takes me over two hours from getting in the shower to being done with slightly damp hair. I know I am doing something wrong, I just don’t know what to try.

What is best to use for very fine low porosity hair

Hi Mel, I am 61 and I am an ex hairstylist who just learned about the new way of taking care of curly hair from seeing a Bounce Curl video and I bought their stuff and did my hair and it came out perfect. Well I lost half of my hair in January due to stress, my doctor put on minoxidil and I'm taking other natural supplements. But now my hair won't work, it's 3c or more and it comes out looking like the s pattern for a perm instead of nice sausage curls. It does it on parts of my head but mostly not😢😢, any suggestions??

What about the CurlSmith bond salve? Isn’t that a bond builder? I’m also curious why we never see CurlSmith on your channel anymore? I was hoping you would do a video on the new Volume line? What happened ? 😩

@ManesByMell

Love the curlsmith bond salve! As for new launches, I haven’t had the greatest experiences. But I’ve tried the volume line… review is coming very soon

Curious to know the products you can’t live without. Or if you only had one option im each category what would that be. Have you don’t this video already?

I won't use Tarte shape tape because it smells like old lady perfume. The Mark Anthony side looks better, but I think I'll stick to my Ouidad and Olaplex.

I feel like I never get whether a mask should be applied before or after conditioner, especially when it doesn't say on the product. Always thought that masks should be applied before conditioner, as conditioner should lock the hair? 😅😅

So how much was that marc anthony combo ?
