Wow, I can't stop looking at your hair. You look stunning. ❤ Also, I dont have grape seed oil, could you pls suggest another oil that I can use with wow skin science's argan conditioner.
Thank you Shubhanshree! The argan oil conditioner is heavy enough but if you want to mix an oil, try using one that penetrates the hair shaft like argan, coconut, avocado, sweet almond & macadamia nut oil.
Hi Michelle thank you so much for addressing so many curly hair issues,your videos are so informative,thank you.Can you please suggest a good heat cap.
Hi. Thanks so much. Have a look at this video. I've given details ont he heat cap I use. (This is the cheapest one available in India) th-cam.com/video/ZLX2zBAWt_Y/w-d-xo.html
I am still confused abt porosity and protein-moisture balance 🤔. If i use too much product my hair becomes flat and too little product make my hair dry. So i use approx one pump of conditioner with coconut oil after shampoo. It makes my hair soft. Frstly i was so confused but now i know how to tame my hair. Thanks to you, your videos helped me a lot to do try and testing methods. ❤️🤗
Hey Michelle Can you please make a video on how to conduct a protein wash day? How often to do it? For all kinds of porosity and your product recommendation.
Hey Michelle, another amazing video. Have literally been binge watching all your videos. Could you please explain a bit on what exactly is ‘slip’? Is there a particular video that I can watch that would provide more details on this term?
Do you enjoy creamy products or super light products? If you like light products you'll like the mask. If you like thick products you won't like the mask. My honest opinions is, if you like light products, just use your conditioner only. No need to waste money on a mask.
Hey Michelle! Great video as usual! Do you think any deep conditioning mask can be used in place a conditioner? I wonder if heavy masks can leave the hair greasy if not washed with some shampoo. 🤔
DCs are moisturising but they're not greasy. They're deeply moisturising but they wash off well when you rinse thoroughly with water. In my opinion you can substitute them for conditioner.
Hi Michelle, I have high porosity heat damaged hair and I struggle with moisture so I use the plum avocado hair mask as DC. I do not use any conditioner. Is it also necessary to use a conditioner if I am doing a DC every wash ?
Hey Michelle, do you have a video where you explain your wash routine? I have fine high porosity long hair that looks just like yours and it would be really helpful since I'm a beginner.
Hi Michelle... I have recently started the cg method.. too much hairfall, hair is too frizzy and dry.. gel is mandatory ?? Which leave in best for the beginner's... Kindly help me.. pls reply to all my doubts...and ur just awesome 😎
1. I have a video on hairfall that you should check out. 2. If you don't want to use gel, try the loc method. I mentioned it in my Rake* and crunch video. Have a look. 3. Cg takes time. I have a full playlist on curly hair advice that you should check out 4. There is no shortcut in cg. No ideal leave in conditioners for beginners either. I have beginner routine videos that you may check out and then make an informed choice.
Nice work awesome video 😘 Hey is enliven gels are safe to use I mean there are lot of comments claiming that this gel makes hair white and in long run it affects the health of hair .. I am bit confuse because I don't want to compromise with the health of my hair to . Pls give suggestion and is diy flaxseed gel is ok to use ??
@@MichelleManuel you don't heat style right ? Just the squishing process ? I binge watched almost like 10 videos of your videos . Mine is mixture of 2A and 2B curls . My hairs are wavy and not straight and it dries a lot. So i guess I have somewhat like inbetween high porosity and medium porosity coz my hair gets moisturised by itself in about 3 days by naturally even when I don't use any conditioner in my wash routine . I recently started using conditioner and mask for my hair and I'm watching your videos for guidance. Hope I'll see what works better for my hair :) thank you for replying. :)
Also u mentioned after washing the condioner off...u did styling and dried .....so did u style by applying a leave in and gel then plopping and air dry??? Also is it necessary to use a leave in and gel after deep conditioning
I think it is yes. Even if it's a super light leave in conditioner, it's important to leave some product in your hair so that your strands are moisturized and lubricated during the week. It prevent tangling as well I styled my hair here using the rake and scrunch method. Also filmed the process. I've used footage from the same washday.
@@MichelleManuel Any deep moisturizing hair masks? Plum, curl up, so many you have recommended, but I could not make up my mind. Can you suggest one proper dc which is really worth the money?? Thank you for reply. I really enjoyed watching your contents.

I've been following your videos religiously and they all deliver wonderfull stuff considering I'm a newbie to CGM Would you be able to review Kerastase products. They are exceptionally great. Ive used that range but not the curl ones, would love to see you reviewing the Kerastase Curl Range.
Hi! I like your video too much as you give honest reviews and make us understand very good Can you please help me pick a extremely moisturized leave in Cream and a protien leave in Cream..? As my hair is so dry and frizzy
Hi Michelle I have few questions 1 How many times in a week one need to apply Dc mask 2 If suppose someone like me who applies homemade masks twice a week then is it good to wear heat cap each time Please answer
You need to watch my video busting hair myths. I've spoken about the effectiveness on home made hair masks. Please have a look. I deep conditioner once a week. You can dc based on your hair. If your hair doesn't need much moisture then you can do it 1 to 2 times a month even. It's completely subjective.
Thanks Michelle. I watched ur recommend video and it was really helpful. I had a question , I had taken keratin treatment and hair color around 6 months ago and my hairstylist had suggested me keratin shampoo, conditioner and mask. Shall I continue using that or I should change it. I am asking this because I have heard of protein overload and i really don't get what exactly it is.can please help me with that? Hoping for the reply
I have a while playlist called protein moisture balance that you can watch in order to understand it properly. I would recommend watching my playlist for beginners as well to fully understand all the concepts. For curly girl method approved product recommendations you can either watch my budget CG products under Rs 350 video or my video on my fav cg products. It's all put in a playlist called CG products India. Feel free to look around. You'll find all the content you need here
Thanks once again for such a lovely content ❤️.......one question.....what do u have to say as regards to an oil massage before shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioning..
The term balanced is fallacious in my opinion. Each person's hair requires a different amount of protein and moisture in order to attain balance. None of these products are balanced imo. A product that contains protein will also contain moisture ingredients. A moisture dc could also have protein ingredients lower down in the list. It totally depends on your hair how much and how frequently it needs protein. For me personally once a month or once every 3 washes does the trick.
Thanks! ❤️ You'll find many cg friendly hair masks on my amazon Storefront. If you need more info on how heavy each mask is, you can watch this video th-cam.com/video/RBxHsnybiYQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi, this video is so much informative 👍thanks for it. Can you please tell, how to heat a heat cap without micro oven? And any other alternatives to avoid using heat cap, since it's heavy and due to that it might trigger headache so please suggest alternatives.
That was Nice 🙂.... Deep condition is really important for curly and wavy girl.... But Michelle being low porosity nd fine hair How to know whether our hair needs protein or not?
Its not about protein (broad categorization) but more about small medium and large proteins and what they can do for low porosity fine hair. Please have a look at my protein moisture balance playlist. Especially the video on proteins. Then when I make dedicated reviews on each mask(done a few), have a look at the classification + ingredient breakdown section. You'll get a much better understanding.
@@MichelleManuel oh god this is too much to go through... But that's okay any way I love your videos 💕... I will watch it again have seen some earlier 🙂
Today only I Deep conditioned for the 1st time using Mamaearth's Argan Hair mask and can already see a difference in my hair😊😊 My waves look more defined today! I would have definitely got the justherbs deep conditioner if I knew it before.But nevermind I will buy it next time😊😊 I bought reequil conditioner from your recommendation only & it worked beautifully for me! My hair have changed so much(in a good way) in just 1 month...all thanks to you💗 Your recommendations are the best!
@@MichelleManuel I used it for the first time so I really don't know if I like it or not. But what I understood is that my hair loves deep conditioning🤗
Early age wise? Not likely. See what your hair needs. If you feel like you are happy with your definition, shrinkage & moisture retention then no need to dc. A dc is just for people who need that extra kick of protein or moisture.
You suggested requil as a clarifying shampoo But it's sulphate free How is loreal professional sere expert. As a one time wash in a month a clarifying cleanser
Read my description in the clarifying video where I suggested the requil shampoo. Actually always read my descriptions to gain full understanding on the video. Olefin sulphonate is as cleansing as SLS/SLES. I've left my research and sources in the description of the video as always. ❤️
I have arranged the deep conditioners from lightest to heaviest in the video. Go for one of the first few listed here. They should be sufficiently moisturising enough for low porosity hair.
I used one of my hair strand and it stretched to 30% and returned to normal but again I stretched it that time it stretched a bit and broke and the part from where it was broken showed a weird wavy pattern. So what my hair needs protein or moisture? What should Iook for in my deep conditioning product?
Hi Michelle! I have high porosity 2c wavy hair...monsoon makes my hair so dry...but since i am a college student i cannot spend on expensive deep conditioners...can you suggest me some affordable ones which are also free from sulphate and harsh chemicals
i have high porosity hair but my hair r really thin if i do a bit more conditioning my hair become oily ….right now m using loreal mythical hair mask …its working good fr my hair but i have to keep it for very leas time n in less quantity otherwise it will make my hair limpy …..plz suggest me a leave in conditioner that will moisturise my hair without making them limpy
I have no idea how light or heavy is ideal for you. What I've done is arrange leave in conditioners from lightest to heaviest. You have to able to choose watching this video th-cam.com/video/vIDBtAfWBEs/w-d-xo.html (Stick to level 2 to 2.5 maybe Stay away from anything above 3)
@@MichelleManuel Yes, I have watched that video. I am thinking about buying Argan oil but I am confused if it penetrates the hair shaft then will it be a good option to be used as a serum?
@@uzmasiddiqui278 the best thing to do is to pick one based on your porosity. Which is kinda why I asked you to check out the video. It's all there. ❤️
Hey Michelle, i have curly and high porosity hair, i have been trying the CGM, but the real concern is i have body acne, which i am trying to treat. From your videos i know there are oils in the conditioners which are imp for nourishment but i induse more acne on my body when i leave my hair for air drying. can you suggest something for it. Please 🙏🏻
Hii mam i have a low porosity and wavy hair my hair becomes so dry and frizzy never tried any hair mask before can youu plzz suggest which should i try?
Ideally it's a good idea to have some protein and some moisture products. Use them based on your hair's needs each washday. Have a look at my protein moisture balance video. Might help you understand better. :)
@@mayumi2605 I put a line on this in my description. Most of the ingredients are the same. The difference is in formulation ie the ingredients appear higher or lower down in the ingredient list ie percentage. Otherwise there's are minor differences in the active ingredients.
Hi Michelle, yet another lovely video ❤️ Thanks to your previous suggestions I could finally decide on what products to pick up and try .can we use L’Oréal prof conditioner for deep conditioning once in a while ( if the ingredients are very similar and alcohol based ) ?
No no please no! 🤭🤭🤭 Cover your head in a plastic cap / or even a plastic bag if required. I saw plastic caps at Spencers for 80 bucks a pop. Pick one up is possible. Then cover it in a warm towel. Ie turban therapy. The heat will be super mild and gentle. Nothing crazy that damages the cuticle.
Just what was needed! ❤️🔥 BTW, i used Earth Rhythm’s argan and castor oil conditioner bar and it surprisingly worked very well for my hair. My hair’s same as you
@@MichelleManuel It doesn't really have slip which disappointed me at first but oh man my hair were so soft, moisture and shiny after rinsing it off and after it dried up too. I would say its an awesome conditioner for when one doesn't feel like styling and at home.
@@MichelleManuel ok new update, used it again today but properly. Last time I applied very less product hence no slip, this time good amount of product and water. Results= amazing slip! The thing with the conditioner bar is you gotta be patient, do hit and trial, it consumes more time than regular conditioner. I'm going to purchase it again as- 1. eco friendly, no plastic bottle 2. it will go a longggg way hence economical 3. works great for my 2B high porosity hair.
Hi Parinita! Jojoba oil does not penetrate the hair shaft. It is a sealant which sits on top of the hair strand and coats it. This is helpful for moisture retention. This is an oil that you can use at the end when scrunching out the crunch. Or if you're using the log method for styling. You could also use 1-2 drops as a serum during the week. I would advise against using any sealing oils during dc before styling, since we also want the leave in conditioner to enter the hair strands during the styling step. The oil will just block it.
Hi Michelle, when I prepoo sometimes I just keep it like that.. & next day my hair becomes as if I have not at all applied oil. Is this because my hair could be high in porocity & I need protein?? This is after I have started cg journey & after i hve started to use gels & creams. Pls tell me which deep conditioner should I use to keep my moisturised.
I don't know if this means that you have high porosity hair. If you're using an oil that can penetrate the hair cuticle and none that coat the strands, it possible for all the oil to be soaked into the hair. Could be medium or high porosity
I only style my hair once a week. If you're using heavy masks and leave in conditioner it's possible that once in 4 days is excessive. Try to prolong your washday or try to give it a gap if your hair is feeling heavy and weighed down. Clarify your hair regularly to remove the buildup of products.
@@MichelleManuel no i have yet to start using leave in & masks. I m searching which deep conditioner will suit? I just style my hair onle once in week but yes I don't clarify my hair frequently. I ll try doing that.

@@MichelleManuel oh god this is too much to go through... But that's okay any way I love your videos 💕... I will watch it again have seen some earlier 🙂
@@purnimashikha2001 if only I were able to cover it all in one video.....
@@MichelleManuel ok
i was like literally thinking about deep conditioning rn now that i switched to cg friendly shampoo and conditioner and this popped up
The algorithm is trying to get you!!! Run!!!!
Joking. I'm glad the video popped up! ❤️
Today only I Deep conditioned for the 1st time using Mamaearth's Argan Hair mask and can already see a difference in my hair😊😊 My waves look more defined today! I would have definitely got the justherbs deep conditioner if I knew it before.But nevermind I will buy it next time😊😊 I bought reequil conditioner from your recommendation only & it worked beautifully for me!
My hair have changed so much(in a good way) in just 1 month...all thanks to you💗 Your recommendations are the best!
I have never used mama earth products.... You liked the mask hmm???
Also thank you! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel I used it for the first time so I really don't know if I like it or not. But what I understood is that my hair loves deep conditioning🤗
@@nikitapradhan3168 same pinch! My hair is obsessed with deep conditioning.
Right video on right time!
❤️
If we have low prosity shouldn’t we deep condition frequently than high prosity given theyll be drier
Both high porosity and low porosity hair can feel super dry. You could watch my video on porosity. Theres a lot to unpack to understand this issue.
Thank you so much for this video ❤️❤️
Hey dear I am 18 and I just use leave in and gel after shampoo
Should I use other products also?? Or it is too early??
Early age wise? Not likely.
See what your hair needs. If you feel like you are happy with your definition, shrinkage & moisture retention then no need to dc.
A dc is just for people who need that extra kick of protein or moisture.
Can I use Tresemme keratin mask as dc?
Became fan of you. Lots of love ♥️♥️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can we really use our normal conditioners for deep condition with heat?
Yes. It's totally fine. Go for it
You suggested requil as a clarifying shampoo
But it's sulphate free
How is loreal professional sere expert. As a one time wash in a month a clarifying cleanser
Read my description in the clarifying video where I suggested the requil shampoo. Actually always read my descriptions to gain full understanding on the video.
Olefin sulphonate is as cleansing as SLS/SLES.
I've left my research and sources in the description of the video as always.
❤️
Another super video with great content!!
Thank you Karn.
Hey can i use garnier papaya hair fruict as deep conditioner
Yep.
hey would please suggest diy deep conditioner for low porosity 2 c 3 a hair ?!❤️
I have arranged the deep conditioners from lightest to heaviest in the video. Go for one of the first few listed here. They should be sufficiently moisturising enough for low porosity hair.
Pretty womaannn .. I'm using flawsome hair mask for DC ... Would loovee to see your review on those
All in due time. I need to finish the existing products I've opened before they expire so...
@@MichelleManuel totally 💗
The deep conditioners which are heavy like shirolepam mask do they need to be used less for low porosity hair when used with hot towel?
Use a lighter one instead. With some heat
@@MichelleManuel could you please suggest lighter ones?
@@srishtinagrath9613 I mentioned them in the video. Please have a look. ❤️
You're honest!❤
❤️
Amazing video di ❤️ so informative
Thank you Himanshi! ❤️❤️❤️
What's the difference between soaking wet and sopping wet hair?
Sopping wet meaning as wet as possible.
I used one of my hair strand and it stretched to 30% and returned to normal but again I stretched it that time it stretched a bit and broke and the part from where it was broken showed a weird wavy pattern.
So what my hair needs protein or moisture? What should Iook for in my deep conditioning product?
Based on what you've written, I think you need to give it moisture right now
Hi Michelle! I have high porosity 2c wavy hair...monsoon makes my hair so dry...but since i am a college student i cannot spend on expensive deep conditioners...can you suggest me some affordable ones which are also free from sulphate and harsh chemicals
Hi Prachi. Do have a look at this video. You'll find some options.
th-cam.com/video/B20G77kwcqk/w-d-xo.html
I own the plum mask too and felt the same. Is there anything I can add to it to increase the protein content?
Not exactly. It's tricky that way. I suppose you could mix it with another hair mask.
@@MichelleManuel Thanks! I was debating about mixing it with yogurt or something, but this makes more sense.
Any good brands of heat cap??

i have high porosity hair but my hair r really thin if i do a bit more conditioning my hair become oily ….right now m using loreal mythical hair mask …its working good fr my hair but i have to keep it for very leas time n in less quantity otherwise it will make my hair limpy …..plz suggest me a leave in conditioner that will moisturise my hair without making them limpy
I have no idea how light or heavy is ideal for you. What I've done is arrange leave in conditioners from lightest to heaviest.
You have to able to choose watching this video

(Stick to level 2 to 2.5 maybe
Stay away from anything above 3)
@@MichelleManuel thanx for ur reply …u r truly very helpful person
I want to use some oil like a serum on day 2, 3. Which one do you recommend?
Check out my log video. I've given lots of affordable options and used them as serums.
@@MichelleManuel Yes, I have watched that video. I am thinking about buying Argan oil but I am confused if it penetrates the hair shaft then will it be a good option to be used as a serum?
@@uzmasiddiqui278 yes ofcourse.
It would be a great option
@@uzmasiddiqui278 the best thing to do is to pick one based on your porosity. Which is kinda why I asked you to check out the video. It's all there. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel Thank you for always replying and helping us.
Can low porosity hair use just herbs mask?
You can. But only if your hair likes super heavy products. If your hair gets weighed down easily, i wouldn't suggest it.
Great video as usual❤
❤️❤️❤️
Do you apply the mask on ur scalp?
Some masks come with instructions saying you can apply them to the scalp, some don't.
Hey Michelle, i have curly and high porosity hair, i have been trying the CGM, but the real concern is i have body acne, which i am trying to treat. From your videos i know there are oils in the conditioners which are imp for nourishment but i induse more acne on my body when i leave my hair for air drying. can you suggest something for it. Please 🙏🏻
Hi Swati. I have a video on CGM and acne. Please have a look. th-cam.com/video/iwGX7fykw4M/w-d-xo.html

@@MichelleManuel okay mam sure thanks❤️❤️
Hey Michelle, yet another very well explained video. In fact I was thinking of buying a DC two days ago, and this video came up !!!
Thank you so much Riddhi! ❤️
Hey do I need separate DC for moisture and protein or just one is good enough?
Ideally it's a good idea to have some protein and some moisture products. Use them based on your hair's needs each washday.
Have a look at my protein moisture balance video. Might help you understand better. :)
@@MichelleManuel thanks a lot❤️❤️❤️🔥
Amazing content 🤗
Definitely gain some value from the video.
😘😘
That's awesome! Thank you Mayumi! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel is there any difference between different varients wow protein hair mask
@@mayumi2605 I put a line on this in my description. Most of the ingredients are the same. The difference is in formulation ie the ingredients appear higher or lower down in the ingredient list ie percentage. Otherwise there's are minor differences in the active ingredients.
@@MichelleManuel yeah I got it
Sorry for asking I mean you explained everything still I asked it 😅
@@mayumi2605 it's in the description not in the video. So it's easy to miss. 😂
Hi Michelle, yet another lovely video ❤️
Thanks to your previous suggestions I could finally decide on what products to pick up and try .can we use L’Oréal prof conditioner for deep conditioning once in a while ( if the ingredients are very similar and alcohol based ) ?
Thanks Priya!
No idea about loreal. I don't use their products.
@@MichelleManuel could you please tell me your haircut name.. I loved it ❤️❤️
Another great video ❤️
Thank you Esther! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel by the way, who passed you the shower cap? 🤪
Can I use a blow dryer to add heat while deep conditioning?
No no please no! 🤭🤭🤭
Cover your head in a plastic cap / or even a plastic bag if required. I saw plastic caps at Spencers for 80 bucks a pop. Pick one up is possible.
Then cover it in a warm towel.
Ie turban therapy. The heat will be super mild and gentle. Nothing crazy that damages the cuticle.
@@MichelleManuel okayyy Thankyou so much❤️
Hi Michelle. Would you know whether just herbs shirolepam mask is color-safe? I tried studying their website but couldn't find any info.
I don't think so. I doubt we have colour safe options in India. If I'm able to find some options I'll make a video on the topic.
Just what was needed! ❤️🔥
BTW, i used Earth Rhythm’s argan and castor oil conditioner bar and it surprisingly worked very well for my hair. My hair’s same as you
Good slip?
@@MichelleManuel It doesn't really have slip which disappointed me at first but oh man my hair were so soft, moisture and shiny after rinsing it off and after it dried up too. I would say its an awesome conditioner for when one doesn't feel like styling and at home.
@@ashimamehra6421 ahhh.... Thanks for sharing! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel ok new update, used it again today but properly. Last time I applied very less product hence no slip, this time good amount of product and water. Results= amazing slip!
The thing with the conditioner bar is you gotta be patient, do hit and trial, it consumes more time than regular conditioner. I'm going to purchase it again as-
1. eco friendly, no plastic bottle
2. it will go a longggg way hence economical
3. works great for my 2B high porosity hair.
@@ashimamehra6421 ahhhh! Lovely!
I love the fact that there's no plastic involved! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
yayyyy this was needed ♡♡

Love ur content..

Di can I add Jojoba oil to my deep conditioner ?
Hi Parinita! Jojoba oil does not penetrate the hair shaft. It is a sealant which sits on top of the hair strand and coats it. This is helpful for moisture retention. This is an oil that you can use at the end when scrunching out the crunch. Or if you're using the log method for styling.
You could also use 1-2 drops as a serum during the week.
I would advise against using any sealing oils during dc before styling, since we also want the leave in conditioner to enter the hair strands during the styling step. The oil will just block it.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you so much Di , this was so helpful.
Lots of love 🤗🤗💜
❤️❤️❤️
Why you make some braid after taking mask?
To curl train
You look more beautiful without make up. You should do less or minimal makeup to look closer to your natural self.
I've low porosity hair, can I use vapour on my hair instead of a cap to help penetrate the mask??
Use a hot towel. Use the dc, then cover it with a plastic cap. Then use a hot towel.
@@MichelleManuel Alright ❤️
Hi Michelle, when I prepoo sometimes I just keep it like that.. & next day my hair becomes as if I have not at all applied oil. Is this because my hair could be high in porocity & I need protein?? This is after I have started cg journey & after i hve started to use gels & creams. Pls tell me which deep conditioner should I use to keep my moisturised.
I don't know if this means that you have high porosity hair. If you're using an oil that can penetrate the hair cuticle and none that coat the strands, it possible for all the oil to be soaked into the hair. Could be medium or high porosity
I only style my hair once a week. If you're using heavy masks and leave in conditioner it's possible that once in 4 days is excessive. Try to prolong your washday or try to give it a gap if your hair is feeling heavy and weighed down. Clarify your hair regularly to remove the buildup of products.
@@MichelleManuel no i have yet to start using leave in & masks. I m searching which deep conditioner will suit? I just style my hair onle once in week but yes I don't clarify my hair frequently. I ll try doing that.
Wow 😍
❤️❤️❤️
