@@MichelleManueloh you asked that.? Sorry, i haven't noticed! I'm extremely sorry, dear. It's Sociology. I'm in the preliminary stage. Haven't finalized the topic. Doing my course work, Pondicherry University
Your videos are extremely helpful to the layman🩵. Could you also consider making a video about curls and waves and monsoon? I have so much trouble drying it.
@@MichelleManuel the pre poo is correct, the washing and styling is correct and the hair is in a very weed like texture, however it does not dry at all despite microplopping, and blow drying, and the hair dries after a day to veryy frizzy. Like all the gels and stylers have disappeared into thin hair🥹
Ahhh okay. So you're saying that it doesn't dry at all? Does it feel wet and cold to the touch? If so, your hair is over-moisturised. You're using too much or too many products. Did you happen to catch my video on medium porosity hair? Even if your hair is not medium porosity, I think the video will help you learn how to avoid over-moisturised hair.
Hi michelle. I started my cgm journey 1 month back with you. I am still transitioning. Rn my main problem is that my curls start looking stringy after a few hours. I style my hair with curlvana leave in and gel. I make curl clumps also but i end up with clumps that are way too thin and of somewhat weird shape. Please suggest what to do. Thanks❤
Hi Michelle! I have 2c/3a curls but my curls are never defined from the root. I was hoping you could make a video on how to get your hair to curl from the roots. Thank you! ❤
Heyyy your videos really helped me alot on how to take care of curly hair but have doubt on what product should we use on non wash day... I wash my hair just once or twice in a week so want to know wht goes in between the wash days... Thank you ❤
As a guy, mine is just wavy dry af, what helps me is leave in conditioner (now I am just using deep conditioner instead as leave in) and i use some oil to the ends then a wax or gel to lock in moisture and keep ur hair the same as when as u styled for longer. I also use a blow dryer to comb and give some proper waves. I also use some hair serum.
Such a detailed video!! I turn to ur videos when i have doubts regarding anything. I did not plop my hair ,but now i want to try that is there a separate video on plopping with tshirt? Please clear one more thing u style on dripping wet hair, right. I style on medium wet hair so asking
I thought I replied to this comment. Yes, I have a video on plopping and air drying. You'll find it in my playlist for beginners. I think the posted the link in my earlier reply. But I think it got deleted somehow
Hey This is my second wash with curlup products and I'm having extreme dandruff and hairfall after using this product.🥺🥺🥺Literally I'm afraid to use it for another wash.What may be the reason?Suggest me please😭
Hey Michelle As Muslims we have to wash our hair everyday (with water) Can you make a video on how to avoid hair damage for someone who washes hair everyday with water and uses shampoo once or twice a week?
Hey michelle Thanks a lot! People used to make fun of my frizzy hair all my life...i didnt realise i have wavy hair. Would definately try this.. Jus a clarification so i saw the video u posted for beginners earlier ..i assume this is most improved version as i find few diff from that video ..1. After apply conditioner the time 2.dentangling hair during shower 3.also the drying part of hair ...
Such an amazing and detailed video!! I can't thank you enough how much your videos and suggestive products help me out 💞 Also, I had a small query...on the days that I wash and style my hair.. the front sections turns out to be really good...but just after the following day, after keeping my hair in a pineapple bun overnight, the front section turns out to be frizzy and wonky, is there any technique to preserve my waves rather than going for the re fresh ?
This happens to me too. Not on my front sections but to the sections above my ears. For some reason the curl definition does not want to stay no matter what I do. Try my dry refresh technique instead. You won't need any water. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/f0WcX8l-QWw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Michelle, thank you for the detailed video. Extremely helpful for a beginner like me. Since I am a beginner, I don't own any devices. Could you suggest how to air dry my wavy hair before I invest in a diffuser?
I've done a few budget friendly routines where I've air-dried my hair. All you have to do is take off the plop and let it dry naturally. Don't touch it too much while it's drying. Once it's dry, sotc.
Thanks for the detailed video. I want to follow CGM but it requires styling in a very dripping wet hair but I have Sinusutis and I get headache if i dont dry my hair quickly.Any alternate CGM method is there that does not require very wet hair?
Same routine to be followed if I oil my hair every week? I oil the scalp more and even on the length a little... then wouldnt i have to use shampoo and all other products all the more? Because oiling is also important right?
I love each and every video of yours! They are so informative and inspiring!❤❤❤❤ I usually used to do smoothening in every 8-10 months gap, because i had the most freezy and annoying hair, but after watching your video I realised that maybe I had the most beautiful wavy hair, which I have ruined because of the inadequate knowledge about it! So I already had done some bad things (chemical treatments) with my hair as a result of my ignorance,so now I have decided to quit that, I will follow that CGM routine.. last time I have done smoothening in September 2022, so I got a descent regrowth by this last 1 year, and last week I have 3/4th length of my "smoothened hair" chopped off my by my own! But still there are 1/4th s left along with my own originally wavy textured hair from the root which have been regrown in this last 12 months! I couldn't chop off the whole smoothened part of my hair because of the length issue, if I did that my hair could have been way shorter than the usual length I keep.. now my question is "can I start that CGM routine in these mixed textured hair of mine? Will it work on the chemically smoothened/straightened part of my hair length? If yes, can you please suggest to me one product with which I can start off my journey considering my hair situation?" Please reply...🙏
- Cutting off the chemically treated her is the best option - you will have to work on bond repair to bring out your natural structure - Olaplex, Redken are internationally well known brands for bond repair but are pretty expensive - Minimalist also has a similar dupe, works decently but not as good as Olaplex or Redken - You will have to focus on undoing the chemical treatment effects, CGM is not necessarily the only way to do this - Undoing chemical damage to hair is a long and expensive process, cutting the hair off is the quickest and cheapest option - you can start very slowly adopting CGM methods, but not necessarily the entire routine. I mean you can start with not using heat on hair, start diffusing, using a leave in conditioner and gel, you don't necessarily have to use CGM friendly products only, you can transition to CGM or not YMMV
after shampooing hair, use conditioner. Detangle ur hair while the conditioner is in and scrunch. After that rinse off the conditioner, then put on the hair mask. Scrunch for some time so that way your hair fully absorbs the mask then wait for the instructed time of the mask. Finally rinse it off and use appropriate products afterwards. Hope this helps!
Also something else I forgot to mention. Whether or not you should use a hair mask is dependent on your hair type. If you have thin hair, then hair masks are going to be too heavy and you'll be at risk for overconditioning your hair, so in that case be careful to buy one made for thin hair or just use a good conditioner and skip hair masks.
You could use something lighter. Totally depends on your texture, curl type and porosity. My video on leave in conditioners available in India will help
@MichelleManuel I have figured through ur videos that I have high porosity hair. Which leave in conditioner and styling gel you would recommend? And I have slight wavy hair I would say 2b. Please help.
Hi Michelle. Your videos are great and help all out there who are new to CGM and have zero idea on where to start and how to do. But I have a doubt, with all the steps in the shower and out side .. my question is.. despite the steps of scrunching and twisting and applying the mask, you’re naturally dried out hair without styling looks poofy.. so do those steps like twisting and scrunching really help towards it? Bcos from the video what I gathered is what actually mattered is the styling after the shower to achieve curls.
Every step in the routine makes a huge difference in the definition of the waves seen in the final results. The steps you're referring to are methods of curl training. These are important and crucial for wavy hair.
In the poofy hair pic, nothing was done. Only shampoo and conditioner was applied and washed off. No curl training was done love. The pic represents what my hair would look like if I did nothing.
Hi you explain so well, i have one question I had done Botox treatment in my hair it was straight now curly hair are back strated fallowing curly hair products and methods but when i oil my hair and comb they're becoming straight so chemical treatment is there or it take time to have my curls back? Reply me
I have no experience with hair botox. Not sure if it makes the hair straight and how long it lasts. Your stylist might be able to answer this question.
Okay so what you're looking for is my post washday hair care routine. I've done a whole playlist on this topic walking you through every detail. Here you go: th-cam.com/play/PLU0CArwymOgGuwXdAMOQUi1kXTrFhJQth.html
I followed same technique when styling but why my hair is so frizzy after drying and some hair don't foarm any curly pattern next day my hair loose almost half of the hair curly pattern look ao dull , dry and lifless , no volume ,i tried everything but doesn't work can u pls help 🙏 my hair type is 2b, 2c and some 3a low porosity hair type
You need to nail your moisture levels. I think this will be your main struggle. Once you are able to nail this and curl train you won't have these issues. Check out my video on medium porosity hair. You'll understand this concept better.
@@sruthilaya8898 what Michelle said is absolutely right about getting the correct level of moisture. I face the same issue. Especially if you are living in a rainy place, it's tricky. Also, the styling doesn't stay the next day if the curls aren't protected while sleeping. This is jus my personal observation. Michelle is the best person to guide you in this. She inspired me to try CGM ❤️
Hey Michelle When i style my hair i didn't get the volume on roots no matter which technique im using its stil flat i have 2 A ,2B pattern please answer my question what to do
Hey Ritz. Thanks for asking. When I style on damp hair, I notice more flyaways. This is exactly why I like to style on sopping wet hair. I spritz my hair down with water before I start styling. I also comb through to smooth down the hair before I apply products. When I apply products if I see that my hair is sticking up or not smoothed together, I go in with a raking technique and also comb through again. While my hair is being styled I make sure to keep spritzing it with water. I comb and smooth when needed. Does this answer your question? Or not, is there any key moment of your styling routine when you notice the flyaways?
Hey Michelle you give us so much knowledge thank you for that so I have low porosity hair and i have chemically treated my hair for 2 times now my hair is really frizzy those never shine also i am bit confused if my hair is wavy or something else please suggest me what to do
Are you sure you have low porosity hair? Could you tell me what made you come to this conclusion? Could you also explain what you mean exactly by chemically treated? What was the name of the treatment?
The water float test is not* accurate. It's an outdated ineffective method of checking for porosity. What chemical treatment have you done? Do you still have those lengths or have you cut them off (and are left with only new growth).
If you're following cg, colour is not allowed. That being said, I do in fact colour my hair. I colour my roots every 10 days because they grow out very very quickly. I also colour my lengths once every 1.5 to 2 years when I want a change. To achieve some colors, bleach is not required. A dark brown colour can be achieved without bleaching. However if you're trying to go lighter, there will be bleach. Hair colouring involves some form of damage, ranging from mild to severe. It would be hypocritical of me to tell you that you shouldn't do it, when I most definitely do it. So maybe I shouldn't say anything here.
Hey!! I’m new to CGM. I’m using Love beauty & Planet shampoo, conditioner for curly hair and ‘Curl up’ curl defining cream and gel. Do I have to use the cream and gel on my every wash days? My wash days are often after every 2days.. i,e. On every 3rd day.
It depends. On some hair types just a gel could work. Also I hear that the cream gives you a cast. But I've never used it as a one and done before so I can't comment.
You can air dry if you don't have a diffuser. It's understandable. Diffusers are expensive. I personally used to air dry before I bought one. Sit in the sun if you're air drying. We don't want to keep the hair wet for long periods of time. So if you have a balcony or sunny window, make yourself comfortable in or around it while you air dry.
Hey beautiful ...can you please compare some of the budget friendly conditioners like wow coconut milk and cocosoul ..... And hair creme like parachute hair cereme , ustraa, inature, and himalya protein one.... Please❤❤❤
So the thing is, I did a video on budget products under Rs 350 just last week. Those are products that I will proudly use and recommend. I don't want to showcase products that I wouldn't want to use on my own hair. Especially after my allergic reaction, I won't take the chance even more.
Hey need your guidance I do follow the curly routine but my curl open by the end of the day and they look very shabby. My hair becomes unmanageable What to do ?
Because I have medium porosity hair now. It needs less moisture than it did before. I can't use both products together. It will over-moisturise my hair.
Unfortunately, the scalp becomes more visible when the curls are defined. :( I think the bowl method might be more suitable for you. I recently did a video on it sharing my take.
Another wonderful video with clear explanation! Although I'm not a beginner I loved watching this video. Michelle I recently chopped my hair off from long to medium length. I had a lot of split ends and damage. I now have haircut shock so I'm just riding the wave patiently until my waves remember how to wave/clump together. Any tips on dealing with haircut shock? I realised I need to trim my ends every 4-6 months otherwise split ends form and then I need a drastic haircut. (For reference I'm 2A, some 2B, super low porosity - the curly hair stylist also commented how long my hair takes to dry, low to medium density wavy hair/loose waves)
Yes yes yes. Curl shock. I just experienced it too. Within the last 2-3 weeks. It's so upsetting. It leaves you with so much doubt and fear. Like will my curls come back? Have I lost them for good? What did I do? Why did I do it? Let me make a short form video on this. Soon soon soon. I have so much content pending. Arghhhhhh! I can't move at the pace that social media dictates. These edits take so much time and effort. :(
@@MichelleManuel Yes my hair has become so straight I worry whether it'll wave up again. The good thing is I've had haircut shock before and I got my waves back after a month of the cut. So I just need to be patient. I know it'll come back. I had to cut out the damage because the damage was causing massive tangles, hair loss and stringy waves. Sigh. Don't move at others pace, move at your own pace. Quality content takes time and effort. So no rush 🤗
After following u and watching your videos for so long .. I can say i know all the information and tips which u shared in this video.. And now i m feeling proud of myself. 😁 Thank you for this.. ❤❤
I don't understand why my curls are frizzy even after washing and styling with cg friendly products and it's my first wash, I am in confusion like am I applying very lil product or should I change my products please answer me!🥲
It's probably because of curl transition. If you're interested, check out my playlist on CGM transition tip and motivation. You'll find my best advice there. Also follow a good night routine please.

Koi reply kardo yaar mera bhi same question hai
- Cutting off the chemically treated her is the best option
- you will have to work on bond repair to bring out your natural structure
- Olaplex, Redken are internationally well known brands for bond repair but are pretty expensive
- Minimalist also has a similar dupe, works decently but not as good as Olaplex or Redken
- You will have to focus on undoing the chemical treatment effects, CGM is not necessarily the only way to do this

@@MichelleManuel Thnk u so much for your response please tell me effective method of porosity checking
You may want to watch my video on porosity. I've explained the concept at length.
Hey Michelle! I have low porosity wavy hair .. it's either 2b/2c I struggle with low volume. Can you share some products for voluminous curls.
Thanks for asking. I'm working on some content for low porosity hair. So hang tight for a bit?
Perfect!! Will wait 😁
Please make more videos on low porosity hair 🥺🥺❤️
Sounds good.
How to manage frizz post air drying
You can use a serum to smooth down the frizz.
On day 2 and 3 you can dry refresh

Heeyy!!! I'm planning to colour my hair ...please suggest if it's safe or not??
If you're following cg, colour is not allowed.
That being said, I do in fact colour my hair. I colour my roots every 10 days because they grow out very very quickly. I also colour my lengths once every 1.5 to 2 years when I want a change.
To achieve some colors, bleach is not required. A dark brown colour can be achieved without bleaching. However if you're trying to go lighter, there will be bleach.
Hair colouring involves some form of damage, ranging from mild to severe.
It would be hypocritical of me to tell you that you shouldn't do it, when I most definitely do it. So maybe I shouldn't say anything here.
Thanks for the response.🤩
@@MichelleManuelwow! How patiently you wrote the above answer! 👌👏👏
Do a review of skinkraft pleaseeee
Hey!! I’m new to CGM.
I’m using Love beauty & Planet shampoo, conditioner for curly hair and ‘Curl up’ curl defining cream and gel.
Do I have to use the cream and gel on my every wash days? My wash days are often after every 2days.. i,e. On every 3rd day.
It depends. On some hair types just a gel could work. Also I hear that the cream gives you a cast. But I've never used it as a one and done before so I can't comment.
Hey is it ok to air dry instead of using a diffuser?
You can air dry if you don't have a diffuser. It's understandable. Diffusers are expensive. I personally used to air dry before I bought one. Sit in the sun if you're air drying. We don't want to keep the hair wet for long periods of time. So if you have a balcony or sunny window, make yourself comfortable in or around it while you air dry.
Hey beautiful ...can you please compare some of the budget friendly conditioners like wow coconut milk and cocosoul .....
And hair creme like parachute hair cereme , ustraa, inature, and himalya protein one....
Please❤❤❤
So the thing is, I did a video on budget products under Rs 350 just last week. Those are products that I will proudly use and recommend. I don't want to showcase products that I wouldn't want to use on my own hair. Especially after my allergic reaction, I won't take the chance even more.
How to fine out wavy curly hair type might be mine 2a to 2c in between
I insert some images in the pic. Which one comes closest to you hair?
Hey need your guidance
I do follow the curly routine but my curl open by the end of the day and they look very shabby.
My hair becomes unmanageable
What to do ?
Are you in curl transition? And are you following a night routine?
Can I do this if my hair is low porosity 2a/2b
These products won't suit low porosity hair imo. Check out my video on budget products Rs 350, I've included some products for low porosity hair.
I love your voice❤
You didn’t use the conditioner,you used hairmask . Why?
Because I have medium porosity hair now. It needs less moisture than it did before. I can't use both products together. It will over-moisturise my hair.
Thankyou for the reply 🫠
Hi, i recently realised u hav wavy hair. Bt it is vwry fine and have visibl scalp. Wil CG routine work for me or will it ahw more scalp?
Unfortunately, the scalp becomes more visible when the curls are defined. :( I think the bowl method might be more suitable for you. I recently did a video on it sharing my take.
So Therapeutic ❤❤❤
Another wonderful video with clear explanation! Although I'm not a beginner I loved watching this video.
Michelle I recently chopped my hair off from long to medium length. I had a lot of split ends and damage. I now have haircut shock so I'm just riding the wave patiently until my waves remember how to wave/clump together. Any tips on dealing with haircut shock? I realised I need to trim my ends every 4-6 months otherwise split ends form and then I need a drastic haircut. (For reference I'm 2A, some 2B, super low porosity - the curly hair stylist also commented how long my hair takes to dry, low to medium density wavy hair/loose waves)
Yes yes yes. Curl shock. I just experienced it too. Within the last 2-3 weeks. It's so upsetting. It leaves you with so much doubt and fear. Like will my curls come back? Have I lost them for good? What did I do? Why did I do it? Let me make a short form video on this. Soon soon soon. I have so much content pending. Arghhhhhh!
I can't move at the pace that social media dictates. These edits take so much time and effort. :(
@@MichelleManuel Yes my hair has become so straight I worry whether it'll wave up again. The good thing is I've had haircut shock before and I got my waves back after a month of the cut. So I just need to be patient. I know it'll come back. I had to cut out the damage because the damage was causing massive tangles, hair loss and stringy waves. Sigh.
Don't move at others pace, move at your own pace. Quality content takes time and effort. So no rush 🤗
After following u and watching your videos for so long .. I can say i know all the information and tips which u shared in this video..
And now i m feeling proud of myself. 😁
Thank you for this.. ❤❤
That is so amazing Nafisha! I'm really happy reading this! :) I'm really proud of you too!
@@MichelleManuel thank you.. ❤
You should have shown how you plop. How to wear the t-shirt on the head🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I don't understand why my curls are frizzy even after washing and styling with cg friendly products and it's my first wash, I am in confusion like am I applying very lil product or should I change my products please answer me!🥲
It's probably because of curl transition. If you're interested, check out my playlist on CGM transition tip and motivation. You'll find my best advice there.
Also follow a good night routine please.
