Melina Awal is a professional hairstylist specializing in bridal, editorial, and occasion styling, with years of experience shaping confidence through hair. She completed formal training in advanced hairstyling and continues to refine her craft through international workshops and masterclasses to stay aligned with global trends.

She describes her journey as one rooted in creativity. “My passion for hairstyling began at a young age. I was always drawn to the transformative power of hair,” she shares. Over the years, this early fascination grew into a fulfilling career. She considers the trust of countless brides, creatives, and clients as her biggest achievement. “I feel grateful to be part of people’s most special moments,” she says.

Essential things people should know before getting a haircut or hair treatment

According to Melina, consultation and awareness are crucial. She emphasizes that clients should understand their hair type, texture, lifestyle, and maintenance routine before committing to any cut or treatment. Chemical history also plays a big role in determining what results are achievable.

Tips to choose a hairstyle or hair color

Melina believes good styling is all about balance.

• Face shape: Certain cuts complement specific facial structures.
• Lifestyle: High-maintenance looks don’t suit low-effort routines.
• Texture: Working with natural texture gives the most flattering results.

She says, “A proper consultation helps combine all three to create a customized, flattering result.”

Hair care routine

Melina highlights that hair care routines differ from person to person.

• Washing: Generally 2–3 times a week, though oily hair may need more frequent cleansing, while curly or dry hair benefits from less.
• Deep conditioning: Once a week for moisture balance.
• Trimming: Every 8–12 weeks to maintain healthy ends.
• Treatments: Keratin, botox, or protein treatments only when needed based on hair condition.

Advice for clients who want a drastic hair transformation

Melina advises approaching major changes with patience. “Go slow and trust the process,” she says. Lightening dark hair or transitioning to a bold new style often requires multiple sessions to protect hair health. She stresses prioritizing the hair’s condition over achieving quick results.

Affordable habits for healthy hair

For Melina, healthy hair isn’t about high price tags. It’s about consistency. She recommends:

• Using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
• Oiling the hair weekly
• Avoiding excessive heat
• Sleeping on a satin pillowcase
• Trimming regularly

“These small habits go a long way without requiring expensive treatments,” she adds.

Melina’s recommend for healthy hair

Melina often suggests products formulated with argan oil, keratin, and protein, as they help strengthen, repair, and add shine. She prefers lightweight leave-in conditioners and heat protectants that nourish without weighing the hair down. “Choose products that show visible results while keeping the hair healthy,” she explains.
