Can’t say thank you enough! I feel liberated ! I tried cgm for the first time yesterday and it turned out pretty well! Being a doctor and a mom of three, I thought this would be too time consuming for me but with ur easy and down to earth explanation, the steps were so easy to follow! I’m inspired to keep working on it. Thank u for your no nonsense , practical and friendly style! God bless u
Girl! I am in love with real person with often imperfect hair! I am "transitioning" for 5 years now, and still frizz, still mess, still dryness, still no time to follow everything. But I love my hair. And yours too. Thanks for being there for us.
Thank you so much, you've helped me embrace my natural curly hair through such simplified routines and informartion 😭✨ I'm beyond grateful for your cgm videos!
You're the best girllll 🥺 really helped me alot , like no ik that has this much knowledge and who can help with my hair , even my mother is sometimes like this all is waste of money and time 🥲 you are like a big sister I never had 🥺 thanks for thisss
Great tips! Didn't know that such simple things I've been doing have been ruining my hair texture and that I could have avoided frizz all along! 🍍 Love the pineapple 🍍 !!!
She's righ. Once you scrunch it out, it'll be sooo soft and amazing. I got a gel and body butter yesterday and decided to try today with her video on curly hair routine and my hair is sooo beautiful right now. So here I am, giving my experience while watching how to sleep without damaging these curls
Your channel has everything I need to take care of my curly hair. Trust me, with just 2 washes of you CGM my hair looks absolutely lovely ❤. Since childhood all the my trips to salon always made me sad because they always made me feel bad about my hair and frizz and offer me various treatments for frizz. I finally found myself loving my hair❤. Thanks and you keep going ❤❤
Omg this was so helpful. Im new to CGM and I used to tie the scrunchies very tightly and it really used to loosen up the curls. I won't make the same mistake again! Thanks for your video !
Hey! I’m half middle eastern and didn’t know until I was about 14. My mom kept it a secret and lied to me about my biological father who is from Iran. I always thought I was Puerto Rican and didn’t understand my hair texture or why it wasn’t like my mom’s hair. I have the same exact hair texture as yours and I really can relate because I couldn’t find someone who wasn’t either black or Caucasian with curly hair like mine. It’s wavy and curly at the same time but also very prone to frizz when being brushed. You encourage me to wear my hair out and curly/wavy instead of blow drying it straight every week. Your hair is beautiful and I just wanted to let you know that seeing your video has encouraged me to accept my identity. Thanks so much!
Hi, I wanna share a progress which I made with help of info Michelle gave us. I am a girl who stays away from products. Learning that I need to use so many products for my curls to look good made me a little sad. While watching her videos she mentioned about aloevera gel being helpful to hold the curls and how we need to experiment to what suits our hair. I have low porosity 2b curls. I have very soft hair so I realised I don't need a lot of moisture but just something to hold my curls. So I tried to just wash my hair with a herbal shampoo, keep a conditioner on for about 10 mins. Then do Michelle's squish and scrunch method for a few mins. Then i took some aloe vera gel from my plant, added a little water and blended it so that it comes in serum form. I applied it to my damp hair with praying hands like she said and then scrunched it. Then wrapped my hair in cotton tee for 20 mins and air dried. The results were amazing! I could see beautiful shiny curl clumps properly separated from each other. (My hair get very frizzy usually when i wash hair with just shampoo). But the diluted gel worked like magic for me. It held my curls for a good 4 days (after that i washed my hair). Only issue I faced was that my hair becomes flat if i don't keep them open 😅 Hope this helps someone!
Hi Jahanvi! Thank you so much for sharing such a heart warming msg. I know people reading will be encouraged and motivated to continue on their journey by your share. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I too got discouraged by the amount of products and worries and ingredient-picking that came with cgm. And I must tell you, your experience gives me hope. We can be practical and get to love our hair too!
You know I've left msgs like these on some of my fav channels. Never in a million years thought I would see something like this on my video!!! :) :) :)
I'm just starting to know my hair, I've been experiencing hair fall and real frizzy hair for somewhat 3 years now and it is so frustrating. but recently im doing rosemary rinse, oiling, using good shampoos and masks and post cgm cream and gel and my hair has never felt so good. however, as you mentioned its not always like that after 2 day i experience frizz again, but ive promised myself to know my hair well and take care of my hair. Thankyou for sharing so much of needed information.
I watched so many video's... And thank u so much for this hairstyles.. I hate hair on my face and that's the main reason why I haven't started my cg method .. because I tried once and I can't able to do anything with my hair other then leaving it free . But in this summer,I was exhausted so I wore it in normal bun way and my definition all gone away and I looked like a hobo ... So as usual I ended up braiding my hair all the time..thanks a lot .

Hi happy Diwali Michelle Any bond repair suggestion 1line up moisture 2line up protein 3clarifying I don’t understand different between protein and bond repair?
I haven't seen any negative info on plastic clutches or clips. A clutch or a hair bobble should be fine. I'll feature them in my video on hairstyles that you can wear out.
I was watching the news. Sorry to hear India is up in arms with the new wave. Wishing u and ur loved ones well. Every time I hear it I think of u. Stay safe out there!
Can u make a video on indian substitutes (closest) for products abroad..like umberto gianini curl jelly, ...Also can u do a review on giovanni products .
It really helps that u said u don't dry comb ur hair, i didn't know. I am obsessed with combing my hair at least twice a day. I can't believe u don't comb them
Thanks Ahona! I will make a video on curly hairstyles to wear out, as soon as I finish covering the basics. :) If you have any other requests, please let me know.
I have similar textured hair like yours and have done keratin treatment 6 months back and lost too many strands. Wish I could have found you earlier Michelle.. now that the baby hairs started curling up(the rest of the hair is still straight), is it a good time to start the curly routine? The process is so intimidating though.. many thanks for your information ❤
Ahhh !!! Ik this video was posted a year ago .But here i am watching this and istg i just love your content. Pov: The way you are smiling at the camera is just way too pretty 💘✨ Lot's of love
Ma'am, I have very thin wavy hair, and if I try to band my hair with scrunchie I gets too loose if I bind with one knot and if I bind with two knots, it gets tight.. what to do ? And I have another query, people often say that you should not comb your hair when it is wet because at that time your hair follicles are weak.. whats your opinion on this?
“Hair I go again “ by white snake ,is the song that comes to my mind ,when I watched this clip .. I am sure your tips are going to help a lot of CG fans .. well done MM cheers 💪🤟
Hi, just started CGM & I feel my hair looks really frizzy and tangled, so I get tempted to comb my hair. Is it fine to finger-comb my hair at those times?? Also, I sweat a lot around my neck, specially when I'm outside so I prefer to braid my hair all the way or put it into a ponytail. Is it okay to do so??
Very helpful video Michelle.. I have a concern though.. On wash day, I usually wash in the night - is it a good idea to sleep in a bonnet when my hair/scalp is a bit damp or should I wait for it to dry completely? 🤔 P. S: my #shortcurlyhair takes an hour to dry!! 😭
I tried overnight styling and I got sick because my hair was wet in the bonnet. I woke up to dry hair and sotc-ed. Hair looked great however. Many curlies out there actually wash their hair and let it dry in the bonnet overnight. They wake up and SOTC. Some will wash and air dry hair at night and style in the morning after dampening hair. So the answer here is experiment! Different techniques work for different people! These techniques are never a one size fits all.
@@MichelleManuel 👍😜.. Just started my curl journey so would definitely need a video from you stating the terms & basics of #CG !! 😇.. Bottom line I have to experiment and see what fits for my hair. Thanks a tone.
Thank you for the informational video. What can girls wearing headscarves for religious purposes have their hair like underneath the headscarves? I am thinking a satin undercap (under the scarf) should do. But I am confused about the kind of bun one can wear under it. A pineapple can’t be done when wearing a headscarf.
michelle please tell some hairstyles which i can carry outside throughout the day because i have my hairs till my knees and they are 2c type curly....please help me
@@MichelleManuel by lob I mean a long bob, so it's short, but not as short as a typical bob, also it is longer in the front and shorter at the back. I dunno if I made it better or worse with this explanation
No no. I totally get it. Hehe. I had a lob too once. I didn't know the nomenclature. It's difficult to tie. Which hairstyle could you rock before cgm? Try to modify it using a scrunchie maybe?
@@MichelleManuel I have always had wavy hair, but wasn't comfortable with it coz I would comb them out and they would become soooooo frizzy. Though I never used much of heat treatments, but I kept trying to tame them with a brush or comb, which only made it worse, so kind of a catch22...you know, so now I have started CGM only 4 days ago, after going through a looooooot of content, yours included, and am loving it already...just haven't got the hang of how to tie my hair up in the day or at night...
Wonderful video helped me alot!! I searched for satin/ silk pillows and materials but they dont seem to be real silk is is fine to use artificial silk ?
I'm a doctor(dentist) and need to wear a headband+headcap while working which totally ruins my curls. Is there any quick fix for this problem? Will be a huge help if you answer.🙏
I have 2 videos that have some curl friendly options that you may consider. Please have a look. th-cam.com/video/yzvc1CqNpnc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/ZLX2zBAWt_Y/w-d-xo.html
The real issue i face is not detangling the hair between the washes my hair gets tangled as soon i was and detangle the hair in shower and it dries 😢 its just looks like a clump the next day i wake up plus how do i make pony without combing my hair?
You can watch my detangling tips video. It might help you. If all else fails follow the last tip. For between the week care watch my video on serums. For ponytails etc watch my videos on hairstyles. Maybe these videos might help you with some tips that I follow.
I am trying to follow the instructions for better defined curly hair... I am thinking of using palmer coconut shampoo and live in conditioner.. will that be a good option? I have 2b/2c curls
So we can't dry comb our hair. Does that mean, we can't do any hairdos/hairstyles? And what if the hair eventually gets entangled during the week? Can someone please solve my doubt?
I've made lots of content on all of this topicd. I have a video on how to start CGM in India. A entire playlist on post washday hair care which includes everything that you can do during the week Also have a playlist on hairstyles for wavy and curly hair. It's all there. Take your time and go through the content at ease.
I haven’t tried the curly girl method. Thinking of doing so. I have a realy bushy curly hair . I have been straightening it for the last 10 yrs. But now thinking of doing this cgm. Bought the products you suggested. But i am really confused as to how i will stay by not combing my hair at all. Will it not be full of knots snd super bushy!!!
Keep it moisturised during the week. That is key if you don't want your hair to get tangled up. Apart from that, i have a full playlist dedicated to post washday hair care.
Hey i wanted to start this method coa my hair has curls exactly poat wash and becomes wavy when combed. Also i keep on having dandruf inspite of washing on time.. can u help me to get started?
If you have recurring dandruff maybe speak to a dermatologist and rule out scalp infections. The doc might also prescribe medicated shampoo. Use it for a while till your dandruff issue is done with. Then start cg.
@@MichelleManuel okay. Ma'am, my hair is frizzy. I tried CGM. Gave it a month. However, I didn't use CGM products. I use a Khaadi aloevera shampoo, same conditioner, himalaya protein hair cream, and Aloevera gel. My hair does not retain the curls after day 1. Should I change the products.. ?
Hi Michelle... If we shouldn't dry comb our hair then how to deal with tangled hair??? I have a lot a frizz which leads to tangling.. how to deal with that?
Hi sumi. I dont dry comb my hair at all. I use 1+2 drops of a light oil and separate my clumps on a daily basis. See if this helps you. I demonstrated this in my log video
Hey Supriti! This is a once a week affair. You can't be doing this everyday. Let's say you wash your hair every x days. When you start following a curly hair routine, try to stretch your wash days out by going from x to x+1 days. After 2 weeks go to x+2 days in between washes. Slowly slowly build on it to make it so that you wash your hair only once in a week. Have a look at my playlist on beginning cgm. You'll find all the other relevant info there.
Is loose braid a good option ? I just started out 1 week back watching your videos and damn my hair feels so soft. P.S. I Started using Mayonnaise mask after every 2 washes and it made my hair feels so soft and revived my dull looking brittle dry hair and I'm so loving it.
I have a video where I talk about all the cg terms. Also have a routine video where I explain each term. Sotc or scrunch out the crunch is the last step in the routine where you break the gel cast by scrunching.
@@MichelleManuel it's true! Coz I can't do a pineapple yet... So satin pillow and bonnet is a must.. 😋. I have travel bonnet and pillow case too... Hehe
What if the weather is so hot & I can't sleep in AC ? Wearing bonnet or this losse pineapple bun will give me so much sweat. At last I just clutch it all up 😂 and get all ruined hair

Hey I have curly hair but i put hijab so with hijab my curls loose,frizz on day one only what should I do
You are the best
Hello mam😊😊. Plzz tell which gel you use in ur daily routine .
Made a video on gels with all the info on all the gels in my rotation. Please help youself
@@MichelleManuel ok mam thankuu😊
The real issue i face is not detangling the hair between the washes my hair gets tangled as soon i was and detangle the hair in shower and it dries 😢 its just looks like a clump the next day i wake up plus how do i make pony without combing my hair?
You can watch my detangling tips video. It might help you. If all else fails follow the last tip.
For between the week care watch my video on serums.
For ponytails etc watch my videos on hairstyles.
Maybe these videos might help you with some tips that I follow.
I am trying to follow the instructions for better defined curly hair... I am thinking of using palmer coconut shampoo and live in conditioner.. will that be a good option? I have 2b/2c curls
I don't think Palmer's is cg friendly. You could use anything if you're not following cg I suppose
@@MichelleManuel which sulphate free shampoo would you recommend for dry frizzy curly hair...
@@bat_man1234 I have a video on cg shampoos. Please have a look at the video. Pick a shampoo based on your scalp type.
Im dangling between and intermediate level on my CG journey 😂😂😂, cause im lazy and kinda broke 🥺
So we can't dry comb our hair. Does that mean, we can't do any hairdos/hairstyles? And what if the hair eventually gets entangled during the week? Can someone please solve my doubt?
I've made lots of content on all of this topicd. I have a video on how to start CGM in India.
A entire playlist on post washday hair care which includes everything that you can do during the week
Also have a playlist on hairstyles for wavy and curly hair.
It's all there. Take your time and go through the content at ease.
Please do a bblunt leave in cream review on curly hair
Is it silicone free and cg approved? I see that it says it's sulphate free and meant for curly hair but I can't find the ingredient list online.
I haven’t tried the curly girl method. Thinking of doing so. I have a realy bushy curly hair . I have been straightening it for the last 10 yrs. But now thinking of doing this cgm. Bought the products you suggested. But i am really confused as to how i will stay by not combing my hair at all. Will it not be full of knots snd super bushy!!!
I thing my hair is 3c
*think
Keep it moisturised during the week. That is key if you don't want your hair to get tangled up.
Apart from that, i have a full playlist dedicated to post washday hair care.
Hey i wanted to start this method coa my hair has curls exactly poat wash and becomes wavy when combed. Also i keep on having dandruf inspite of washing on time.. can u help me to get started?
If you have recurring dandruff maybe speak to a dermatologist and rule out scalp infections. The doc might also prescribe medicated shampoo.
Use it for a while till your dandruff issue is done with. Then start cg.
Hey, i just started my CG journey. In the beginning, i am noticing a lot of hair fall during the conditioner step, is it normal ?
Hey. I think you should try a routine that involves no wet detangling. I'll send you a video link on dm. Have a look
Can we braid it loosely?
I do that after day 4 and 5.
@@MichelleManuel okay. Ma'am, my hair is frizzy. I tried CGM. Gave it a month. However, I didn't use CGM products. I use a Khaadi aloevera shampoo, same conditioner, himalaya protein hair cream, and Aloevera gel. My hair does not retain the curls after day 1. Should I change the products.. ?
Hi Michelle... If we shouldn't dry comb our hair then how to deal with tangled hair??? I have a lot a frizz which leads to tangling.. how to deal with that?
Hi sumi. I dont dry comb my hair at all.
I use 1+2 drops of a light oil and separate my clumps on a daily basis. See if this helps you.
I demonstrated this in my log video
@@MichelleManuel thanks... Will definitely try
OMG 😍😍 u r soooooo adorable 🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰🥰
My hair type is 2a, little bit wavy and thin hair please help me how I follow my daily haircare routine
Hey Supriti! This is a once a week affair. You can't be doing this everyday. Let's say you wash your hair every x days. When you start following a curly hair routine, try to stretch your wash days out by going from x to x+1 days. After 2 weeks go to x+2 days in between washes. Slowly slowly build on it to make it so that you wash your hair only once in a week. Have a look at my playlist on beginning cgm. You'll find all the other relevant info there.
Loooooove!!!
Thanks Deepshikha! :)
Don't have migraines but "Bonnet headaches" Read that the band will strecth eventually... Anyone else have any ideas???
Second day of cg method how can i care my hair(alternative day the second day)
Check out my playlists. You'll see one called post washday haircare. You'll find all the relevant info there.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
:)
Can you please share the link of the bonnet
I think i mentioned that I made it myself.
Is loose braid a good option ? I just started out 1 week back watching your videos and damn my hair feels so soft. P.S. I Started using Mayonnaise mask after every 2 washes and it made my hair feels so soft and revived my dull looking brittle dry hair and I'm so loving it.
That's amazing. You can do a loose braid too. ❤️
❤️
:)
💞
Thankyou👏
❤️
You said you workout so what do you do to your hair when you workout
I think I'll make a video on the subject ❤️❤️
u can just loosely braid it n tie a scrunchie at the end
What does scrunch out the crunch mean.?
I have a video where I talk about all the cg terms. Also have a routine video where I explain each term. Sotc or scrunch out the crunch is the last step in the routine where you break the gel cast by scrunching.
Is there a video on hairstyles for ur hair without actually harming the curls?
I have an entire playlist on hairstyles that you might like. Please have a look.
@@MichelleManuel that would actually be very helpful thank you
Your voice is soo charming
Thank you so much Bipasha! ❤️
Sticking to the suggested night routine, now I don't wake up with a nest on my head.. Lol!!
A nest on my head hahahaha!
@@MichelleManuel it's true! Coz I can't do a pineapple yet... So satin pillow and bonnet is a must.. 😋. I have travel bonnet and pillow case too... Hehe
@@amrapalidasgupta3103 wow!!!!! I need a travel pillowcase too!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So messy while sleeping... What should I do? I have migraine issues
The video should help.
❤❤
What if the weather is so hot & I can't sleep in AC ?
Wearing bonnet or this losse pineapple bun will give me so much sweat.
At last I just clutch it all up 😂 and get all ruined hair
A satin pillowcase? But that would also make you sweat unfortunately! :(
@@MichelleManuel what should I do then 😨
@@ayushiraj6057 you don't have any other option sadly! Satin/silk is the only material that will not cause frizz.
@@MichelleManuel uh-oh it's okay 👍🏻
From where you brought this hairband
I mentioned in the video that i made it myself
