So happy to see you bringing newer product recommendations for curly hair. I've honestly given up on cg it burns a hole in my pocket only for my hair to turn into a dry matted mess the very next day. My hair density has significantly decreased which makes me wanna comb my curl clumps to make my head look fuller but i guess it has loosened my curl patter a lot more. It's like i have to choose between having juicy curls and more volume. So i went back to silicones and sulfates. The only good thing is I am saving some money
I have faced similar problems to you. When I suffered from a hair fall, I stopped combing it, and it got better. The main cause was changing cities and different climates. Also, simplifying my hair routine helped a lot. I only use oil, shampoo, and curl cream. Because I do not use heat, I have retained my curl patterns. There are cheaper sulfate-free shampoo options, you can get them, and conditioners, silicone, or not. Add a mcaffeine hair cream. You'll get it for 180 in smytten. Again, I feel haircare must be customized according to your needs, environment, routine, and budget. And you can always break the rules and make it work for you.
Your videos are so therapeutic and your voice is extremely soothing to hear 🥹 Thank you for such information loaded videos! It’s a treat to binge watch
@@MichelleManuel my hair is super dry frizzy as I apply henna once a month as I have grey hair and my hair type is wavy hair like 2a with high. One the wash day my hair is good I apply oil then shampoo then loreal Paris hair mask it worked good on that day. But the next day my hair again my hair is super again. Can you please suggest what is happening to my hair ? What should I change ? Any products suggestions would be a great helpful.
I've been saying it for a while now, yellow is your colour! Have you ever looked into colour analysis? Your half up hairstyle is so bohemian looking. You can pull off Boho looks so well!! You look like a pretty gypsy :)
♥️♥️ No I haven't yet, but I'm curious. I do feel like some colours look better on me than others. I think tiktok has a filter that does colour analysis against your skin tone. I wish IG had one too. Then I'd know for certain. ♥️
@jinnicasharda9991 Theres one thing I want everyone to take away from my videos. It's the concept of ideal moisturization & product levels. It's important to understand how much moisture your hair needs. You'll notice that I attach levels to each leave in. Like level 2, level 3, level 4. Each of us has a different level of ideal moisturization. When you use a product that is too light for your hair, your hair will be under-moisturized. When you keep under-moisturizing your hair, it will lead to dryness. This can cause damage in the form of breakage and tangling. It will ruin the lengths of your hair. Length retention becomes very difficult in these conditions. Conversely, when you use products that are too heavy for your hair, your hair remains in a constant state of over-moisturization. This will lead to frizz, greasiness, tangling & hygral fatigue in the long term. You'll need to access which of these issues apply to you and address your hair's unique needs for moisture. Were they too light or too heavy? Based on this, I would ask you to make changes.
Also, one more request maam, i have been seen and explored much of your content and have absolutely fallen in love with it ! As a result i was very quick to subscribe and would also put up a request if you may, for styling tips for cancer patients who have lost their hair. I understand that a wig is always a better option than covering your head with a beanie or a scarf but i would really appreciate if you could elaborate on the potentiality of scarfs for styling a hairless, bald head for indian girls. I have always found the african american women absolutely stunning with the scarfs and was wondering if something like that was possible for indian girls too !!
I can't find the words to empathize or fully acknowledge your journey. I wish you nothing but the best. Just so I understand, could you send me some references on the kind of content you've seen. I'll also do some research on my end and try to come up with some acceptable solutions.
Hii Michelle I have been struggling with CGM for almost 2 years now Im a student and my parents refuse to provide me with money for so many cgm products I tried making an ambla, reetha and shikakai shampoo at home... It does not lather up but cleans my hair just fine but that also when i haven't applied anything stylers or oil to my hair... I really want to invest in my curls but i dont have soo much money to buy 5-6 products... Im not quite sure about my porosity.. I tried putting strands for my hair in the water and it kinda stayed in the middle so i guess that says medium porosity... Im quite frustrated with all the information i have been getting on TH-cam... Like the products and the porosity and the curls patterns... Im just not able to fully understand things... Your channel is the only channel im following now bcs you explain everything in detail and its easy to understand I just have one request from you... I know its a lot to ask but plz recommend me 3 or max 4 products that i can stick to for atleast next 6 months I cant tolerate parabens so that i want to avoid Just some affordable options that atleast last for 2 months My hair is a little below my shoulders and i dont have very tight curl pattern, it resembles your curl pattern a lot I dont understand the 2c, 3c and whatnot It would be great if you could help me a little Thanks and sorry for blabbering for so long
Man! high porosity hair can really take a lot of products. If I used any of these line-ups FOR SURE I would have build up or flat waves from using too many/too heavy products. In the horrible summer heat we have now I am only using leave-in conditioners and washing hair every alternate day. Michelle, is there any curl cream that would suit low porosity hair by any chance? My hair loves protein by the way. So any protein rich cream would also do.
High porosity hair will guzzle product. Atleast mine did. More was more. Things are so different now. I'll send you some options that might work for you
Hi would recommend the rice water chia seed shampoo from buds and berries . It feels so moisturizing just with the shampoo itself and no other product not even a conditione......feels as if I have applied a conditioner too. I have higher porosity.
Hey do try out the coco soul curl cult deep conditioning hair mask. It is a thick, moisturizing mask. And if possible a review on coco soul curl cult curly hair cream and gel too. The cream is thick and moisturizing and the gel is soft hold and moisturizing. I recommend it for dry styling too. These products are majorly coconut oil based. I have yet to see any curly influencer react to these products, surprsingly! Hope you do! I personally love the products
@@MichelleManuel yes! They are CG friendly. For the deep conditioning mask however i think they have minute amount of silicone but i have used 2 tubs of the product and it does not cause build ups. The coco soul curl cream and gel were the very 1st products i started my CG journey with and now i have tried almost all the brands and found new favourites yet these 2 products always remain as a permanent addition to my curly hair arsenal.
Thanks for sharing. I'll take a look at the brand. Won't be able to try any product with silicones. I'm looking for a super thick and heavy moisture DC mask for high porosity hair. Let me know if there's anything in this category that I can try.
@@MichelleManuel thanks. You will love most of their products. Would love to see your take on them. Not sure of you've tried the fix my curls moisture melt hair mask. That is a good one too
Your videos are always packed with information. And your views are always unbiased. Thanks so much for another great video. It's great to know what your favourites are and why!
Hey sister I love to watch your videos ,they are so informative. Can you please make a video of how to determine the porosity of hair? I will be very helpful ❤
After just herbs mask , the only mask that works for my coarse wavy , high porosity hair is the Loreal quinoa protein hair mask. Its not CG approved but it works so good moisturising and making my hair smooth that I can't stop using it. I need good recommendations on thick buttery hair masks that are CG approved .
I do think that the separate lineups give different results and it is needed to balance things. Sometimes the usual doesn't do it and hair feels like it needs more or something different you know what i mean. Also I have noticed something that most of the products come with a shelf life of max 6 months so with two separate lineup it's difficult to finish both moisture and protein products in 6 months if they are not of medium quantity. And not all the products come in 100 ml package like hair masks comes in 200 ml mostly. So i worry about being able to finish them on time. I LIKED HOW YOU MADE THIS VIDEO REALLY SIMPLE. Tbh I get overwhelmed with more product options, also it feels restricting if there are not many options (even i am confused). i have watched the medium porosity product video so many times and i feel like i can't decide which product to go for haha. Can you please make a video on medium porosity products moisture and protein line up wise like you did in this video with all protein and moisture products listed separately for that porosity hair. I follow your amazon store list and it has moisture and protein list but i can't decide if something will be a good choice for my hair type. Just another question. Is Dot & Key Pea Peptide Strengthening Moringa & Argan Hair Mask protein product or moisture product? The name makes it sound protein but i found it in your moisture list. (I think every time you post something, i ask lots of questions haha). Thank you for always bringing such informative video.
Ok. Let me answer some of the questions here. I'll update my medium porosity hair video. To be quite frank on medium porosity hair you can make any product work for you. Nothing is off limits. Both light and heavy products will work. You just have to figure out the quantity. That's the key. The products expire in 12 months so you'll have enough time to finish them off. Don't worry about that. Even with the less used protein products, pick a product, use it as needed and you're sorted. The only product I see you having trouble finishing will be the leave in. You'll need very little leave in on your medium porosity hair. 50ml or 50 gram sizes are best for us. What else. Hang on, I need to read your comment again. I think I've missed some questions.
Ah yes the dot and key moringa and argan hair mask. Protein doesn't feature in the top 5, but you have multiple protein sources in the formula like hydrolyzed quinoa, wheat amino acid, soy amino acid and arginine. They have all 3 in the formula, large, medium and small proteins. You could consider this to be a protein product. Imo the sugarboo mask defeats this mask hands down. Better slip as well. It's a stunning product. Just stunning.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you so much for answering ♥️😭. My hair has changed recently. Putting more products doesn't do well as it did before. I will be waiting for your updated medium porosity video🥰. Yes we need smaller sizes of leave in - 50 ml But not all brands have such small packages. You are right - some products have "12 or 24 months from the date of manufacture" written but some of them have a shelf life i.e. finish within 6 months of opening on top of expiry date. I once bought fix my curls protein leave in of 250 ml and it had 6 months shelf life 🥲. Even for masks - they usually comes in 200 ml- if I have a protein one and one for moisture and we don't need to deep condition every week then how am I going to finish them within 6 month shelf life? Can we even use them after the shelf life has ended but the expiry date hasn't arrived?
@@MichelleManuel Okay I'll definitely try the sugerboo mask after this one 😄. I am currently using the arata hair mask but it doesn't work for my hair 😭 - feels drying. The other protein hair mask I know and love is the reequil one but it's a bit thick, I like masks like truefrog which aren't thick in consistency. I'm so glad you answered 😁. I definitely went overboard with questions 😂.
Thank you for making this video, I am male and have very high prosity curly hair. Your videos helped me a lot but i have querry After deep conditioning and curl defining cream i use fix my curls gel it takes too long to dry and most of time did not mantains same curls that were at starting and after 2 hours. Idk what I'm doing wrong or i should use hard hold gel. Whats difference beettween hard hold gel and medium hold gel. Should i change my gel.? And will using this routine daily damage my hairs.?
I'm from Kolkata nd I'm beginner in this hair care CG journey.... Are these products nd steps r enough for my hair care routine 😢 nd which type of gel I should use strong or soft hold gels a/c to the weather of kolkata plz suggest me..... condition of my hair is just pathetic 😢
WOE....love this video❤. It's up to date, not 3 or 6 years ago only 3 weeks ago FOR high porosity hair. And comes with huge bonus 💯, combo's,😮😅 especially useful for amateurs like myself 😂 or maybe for. those looking for new. products , but yes nailed it Michelle 🧡💯 my hair is very high porosity but long long. Long half way down my thighs. 😮 high maintenance always struggled to keep moisture in, to help with moisture i used lots of leavin. Conditioners and spent. more time up than down. Always though alot of room for improvement now that i know the order for hair products💥 and what's good... Thanking you 🥀
Hey Michelle! Going through a protein overload in my hair. And i like Slightlt stronget shampoos. You recommended the Northwish Naturals shampoo even in the hydration routine. Doesn't Northwish also contain protein?
Heyyyy I have wavy hair 2A&2B type. Can you please recommend the best leave in conditioner acc to you? I'm a beginner . Saw your past sugarboo leave in conditioner review and im planning to go with that...is it good enough? Thank you.
Hey, I am kinda new into cgm(1 month in) and as you said im trying to perfect my styling method and routine as you said. Im more of 2a-2c type. Different in different sections. But my hair near the crown are doesnt get as wavy as the rest( like hair at back is 2c but this area is 2a pattern) Idk if its because my hair pattern is only like that or my styling is not good(btw I do rake and scrunch only) . Is there any way I can manipulate this part to make it more wavy. Are there any styling methods?( i tried finger curling this section but it doesnt work tho it works for my front bangs)
Hey hi, Mene tumhara wo hair mist wala video dekha tha, kafi detailed review tha...agar wo migraine ka issue thik ho gaya ho to tumhe perfume review bhi karne chahiye...
Hi Michelle, can you please review the loreal dream lengths leave in cream? I would like your opinion as to whether it would be suitable for curly hair.
Ive low porosity hair and based on your previous videos, I've bought the true frog DC. My hair becomes more frizzy and sticky whenever I use it. Is it because of protein overload?
No I think it may be because you're either using too much/not washing it off thoroughly or it's simply too heavy for your hair. Try to rectify this and see if you can make it work for you. Going forward, i recently did a detailed video on products for low porosity hair. I've tried to explain things as simply as possible. Check it out.
Hey can pls try love and beauty planet onion patchouli shampoo and the clarifying tea tree shampoo for low porosity hair. Also pls recommend a hair serum for l low porosity hair to break the gel cast. I have wavy low porosity thank u😊
Could you tell me if the two shampoos you've mentioned above are cg friendly? If so send me some links on Instagram. I just did a detailed video on low porosity hair. I mentioned serums specifically.
Since super shampoo is a protein shampoo can I use it with every wash ( question is ref to the moisture protein balance thing you talked about.... Long term protein use causing hair issues later...)
We consider a product to be a protein product, when it has protein in the top 5 ingredients. (Which is not an issue with the super shampoo) Secondly, when doing a protein washday, we consider protein in 2 product categories, leave in/curl cream & hair mask/conditioner. If the hair requires more than that then we opt for a protein gel. One need not worry about short contact, rinse-off products like shampoos. One need not worry if the protein ingredient is listed way down below on the list.
My hair does not retain wave even on Day 0 and I use Arata moisture gel (old range) soft gel which also gives a cast. Once I SOTC there is no volume. Please suggest what to do
The arata OG gel does not give volume or robust curl clumps. It's a soft hold gel better suited to beginners who find gels intimidating. Or best suited to people who like combing through their hair on day 2 and day 3. You probably won't* get mega volume with the gel if you have low to medium density hair. For me personally, I only gets big volume when I use strong hold gels. Either you can try a strong hold gel (if you're comfortable) or you can do gel mousse gel (with the enliven mousse. It gives me big volume when I do an upside down styling technique)
What is the difference between Protein Lineup and Moisture Lineup if we are using the same number of products in both steps. Please help. And also if I’m not wanting to use leave in conditioner and gel in my moisture lineup routine then what ? And what are the products that make a difference in both the lineups? The leave in conditioner step ?
Hey Michelle! Could you pls review Moxie hair care products? They're fairly new in the market and there aren't many review videos of their products, let alone honest unsponsored videos. Also I have dry rough high porosity wavy hair no matter how religiously I use my protein hair mask and minimalist bond repair complex pre shower. Could you pls help me understand what the problem might be/what I'm doing wrong?
You know what though? I'll tell you something very sincerely. Think about how much effort one of my videos take. Think about how much creators have to pay for our equipment, our software and all the other subscriptions required to run a youtube channel with high production value. Most often small channels don't break even. The products featured in the video cost more than the revenue generated from the video itself. A sponsored video doesn't always mean the creator is lying. A sponsored video means the brand is paying for the time and effort required to make the content. They're paying for the amount of time taken to thoroughly test out the products. Think of it as opportunity cost. I know it may look easy, but when you're doing everything on your own including editing and colour correction, it takes a crazy amount of time and effort. A sponsorship means the brand is trying to fairly compensate you for your time and hard work. About moxie yes, I've been trying some of the products. Waiting on some more products to reach me as well. I don't know if my video will be sponsored or not. Even if it is, my opinion will be free of bias. I will never be dishonest in my content. But do I believe I deserve fair compensation for my time and effort, yes I do. I work very hard on product reviews. Very very hard. Moreover, do you believe every other wavy and curly creator should be paid, except me? No I'll intentions with my comment. Just giving you some food for thought.
It's a gentle shampoo. You'll need to shampoo your hair a few times to completely remove the oil. Kinda why I recommended a cleansing shampoo with an oil and a moisturising shampoo without.
Hey Michelle, I have a query , I found out that I do not have dandruff in my hair but those are nits I was mistaken , they r so stubborn I just feel so embarrassed having nits , I can see them if I look up closely , do you have any suggestion on how to get rid of them even though I don't have lies now I do have nits am so disgusted by looking at them , I am not understanding how to get rid of them
Please don't be embarrassed. It happens. Everyone gets lice at some point. Use mediker anti-lice shampoo. Wash your hair frequently. And get yourself one of those lice combs. You'll need to keep repeating this shampoo. Because the shampoo will kill the lice but the nits will keep hatching. So wash your hair frequently. Remove nits with the comb. Repeat this cycle. Don't use any oil please. I'll also caution you to disinfect your sheets, pillowcases and everything else that comes in contact. If it's a huge issue and you're not being able to control it, get pest control done in your house once. If your peers have lice as well, it's easy for the issue to reoccur. If possible try to get through them with empathy and kindness. Inform them of the issue and ask them also to take action gently. ❤️🌷❤️🌷
Maam, will it be possible for you to give haircare and also skincare tips for someone who swims 6 times/week for 2 hours/ day and has wavy hair or curly hair ? How should one go about caring for it. Kindly do share your precious opinion on the same !
Most of these products are almost empty. You may be able to see it in the footage. All of them have been purchased multiple times and emptied multiple times. As a high porosity girlie I went through products very quickly. The curl up bond repair mask is relatively new to my collection so it's not empty yet. If you're asking what I do with products that don't work for me, I give them to my family and friends as soon as I'm done reviewing them. I don't let them sit and expire.
@@MichelleManuel, no not the one in this video.. the orange bottle.. its called the cleansing shampoo.. if I'm not wrong, that was the OG shampoo of arata
@@MichelleManuel yes ma'am, I did find the super shampoo (maroon bottle) in the video.. I was enquiring about the orange bottle.. you can google arata cleansing shampoo and you'll see Would love your take on it, please :)
I can see ACV in the lower middle on the ingredient list. But overall I found the shampoo to be gentle and good for frequent washers. Also will be suited to people who would benefit from a non stripping shampoo that cleanses, moisturizes and provides slip. I will not categorize the super shampoo as a clarifying shampoo. At best I will say that the shampoo is a moisturising shampoo with a chelating ingredient. But it is a chelating shampoo? One that I would rely on to remove hard water minerals and pool water chemicals? No. I wouldn't say that.
How much time do we need to wash our hair/per week? with these things shampoo, conditioning, leave-in, and at last, gel. can someone guide me on this or give me a week planner that will be really helpful thanks in advance
When you begin it takes time because youre just learning the steps. After a while you becomes like second nature. You can run through your routine quicker. How much time will depend on your styling technique. A rake and scrunch will be faster than a brush styling routine

Can you please make a video on medium porosity products moisture and protein line up wise like you did in this video with all protein and moisture products listed separately for that porosity hair. I follow your amazon store list and it has moisture and protein list but i can't decide if something will be a good choice for my hair type. Just another question. Is Dot & Key Pea Peptide Strengthening Moringa & Argan Hair Mask protein product or moisture product? The name makes it sound protein but i found it in your moisture list. (I think every time you post something, i ask lots of questions haha). Thank you for always bringing such informative video.
Ok. Let me answer some of the questions here.
I'll update my medium porosity hair video. To be quite frank on medium porosity hair you can make any product work for you. Nothing is off limits. Both light and heavy products will work. You just have to figure out the quantity. That's the key.
The products expire in 12 months so you'll have enough time to finish them off. Don't worry about that. Even with the less used protein products, pick a product, use it as needed and you're sorted. The only product I see you having trouble finishing will be the leave in. You'll need very little leave in on your medium porosity hair. 50ml or 50 gram sizes are best for us. What else. Hang on, I need to read your comment again. I think I've missed some questions.
Ah yes the dot and key moringa and argan hair mask. Protein doesn't feature in the top 5, but you have multiple protein sources in the formula like hydrolyzed quinoa, wheat amino acid, soy amino acid and arginine. They have all 3 in the formula, large, medium and small proteins. You could consider this to be a protein product.
Imo the sugarboo mask defeats this mask hands down. Better slip as well. It's a stunning product. Just stunning.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you so much for answering ♥️😭. My hair has changed recently. Putting more products doesn't do well as it did before. I will be waiting for your updated medium porosity video🥰.
Yes we need smaller sizes of leave in - 50 ml But not all brands have such small packages. You are right - some products have "12 or 24 months from the date of manufacture" written but some of them have a shelf life i.e. finish within 6 months of opening on top of expiry date. I once bought fix my curls protein leave in of 250 ml and it had 6 months shelf life 🥲.
Even for masks - they usually comes in 200 ml- if I have a protein one and one for moisture and we don't need to deep condition every week then how am I going to finish them within 6 month shelf life? Can we even use them after the shelf life has ended but the expiry date hasn't arrived?
@@MichelleManuel Okay I'll definitely try the sugerboo mask after this one 😄. I am currently using the arata hair mask but it doesn't work for my hair 😭 - feels drying. The other protein hair mask I know and love is the reequil one but it's a bit thick, I like masks like truefrog which aren't thick in consistency. I'm so glad you answered 😁. I definitely went overboard with questions 😂.
Ok if the reequil pea protein mask is heavy for you, the sugarboo mask is heavier. So then don't get it.
Thank you for making this video, I am male and have very high prosity curly hair. Your videos helped me a lot but i have querry After deep conditioning and curl defining cream i use fix my curls gel it takes too long to dry and most of time did not mantains same curls that were at starting and after 2 hours. Idk what I'm doing wrong or i should use hard hold gel. Whats difference beettween hard hold gel and medium hold gel. Should i change my gel.? And will using this routine daily damage my hairs.?

Thanking you 🥀
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Michelle! Going through a protein overload in my hair. And i like Slightlt stronget shampoos. You recommended the Northwish Naturals shampoo even in the hydration routine. Doesn't Northwish also contain protein?
There's no protein in the top 5. We don't consider a product to be a protein product, if the product doesn't contain protein in the top 5 ingredients.
Please make sulfate free protein or a type of shampoo for High porosity hair under 400rs please.....
Hlo,I am wavy hair 2a can I apply curly gel and if I didn't scrunch ny curl will it be maintain as straight

Hi Michelle, I have a doubt... Can we use rosemary water to improve hair growth while following CG Method?
Yes. I spoke about how to use it in my hair growth video.
@MichelleManuel
Can I have the name of the list
That you give for high porosity Hair
Hey, I am kinda new into cgm(1 month in) and as you said im trying to perfect my styling method and routine as you said. Im more of 2a-2c type. Different in different sections. But my hair near the crown are doesnt get as wavy as the rest( like hair at back is 2c but this area is 2a pattern) Idk if its because my hair pattern is only like that or my styling is not good(btw I do rake and scrunch only) . Is there any way I can manipulate this part to make it more wavy. Are there any styling methods?( i tried finger curling this section but it doesnt work tho it works for my front bangs)
Hey hi, Mene tumhara wo hair mist wala video dekha tha, kafi detailed review tha...agar wo migraine ka issue thik ho gaya ho to tumhe perfume review bhi karne chahiye...
Ok. I will do this! ❤
@@MichelleManuel jarur, intezar rahega..
Hi Michelle, Is Ashba moisture cream good for low porisity hair? Can you please advise.
Just did a detailed video comparing the 3 leave ins.
@@MichelleManuel Just watched it , thank you!
Hi Michelle, can you please review the loreal dream lengths leave in cream? I would like your opinion as to whether it would be suitable for curly hair.
I won't be able to review brands that are not cruelty free.
Ive low porosity hair and based on your previous videos, I've bought the true frog DC. My hair becomes more frizzy and sticky whenever I use it. Is it because of protein overload?
No I think it may be because you're either using too much/not washing it off thoroughly or it's simply too heavy for your hair. Try to rectify this and see if you can make it work for you.
Going forward, i recently did a detailed video on products for low porosity hair. I've tried to explain things as simply as possible. Check it out.
Hey can pls try love and beauty planet onion patchouli shampoo and the clarifying tea tree shampoo for low porosity hair. Also pls recommend a hair serum for l low porosity hair to break the gel cast. I have wavy low porosity thank u😊
Could you tell me if the two shampoos you've mentioned above are cg friendly? If so send me some links on Instagram.
I just did a detailed video on low porosity hair. I mentioned serums specifically.
@@MichelleManuel yes I have seen some ppl using it u perhaps u can check it out
Since super shampoo is a protein shampoo can I use it with every wash ( question is ref to the moisture protein balance thing you talked about.... Long term protein use causing hair issues later...)
We consider a product to be a protein product, when it has protein in the top 5 ingredients. (Which is not an issue with the super shampoo) Secondly, when doing a protein washday, we consider protein in 2 product categories, leave in/curl cream & hair mask/conditioner. If the hair requires more than that then we opt for a protein gel.
One need not worry about short contact, rinse-off products like shampoos. One need not worry if the protein ingredient is listed way down below on the list.
@@MichelleManuel thank you ! Much clarity
I have wavy hair not curly should I use this ?
Hii.... Schwarzkopf has launched so many mousse can u review them...if possible.
My hair does not retain wave even on Day 0 and I use Arata moisture gel (old range) soft gel which also gives a cast. Once I SOTC there is no volume. Please suggest what to do
The arata OG gel does not give volume or robust curl clumps. It's a soft hold gel better suited to beginners who find gels intimidating. Or best suited to people who like combing through their hair on day 2 and day 3. You probably won't* get mega volume with the gel if you have low to medium density hair. For me personally, I only gets big volume when I use strong hold gels.
Either you can try a strong hold gel (if you're comfortable) or you can do gel mousse gel (with the enliven mousse. It gives me big volume when I do an upside down styling technique)
What is the difference between Protein Lineup and Moisture Lineup if we are using the same number of products in both steps. Please help. And also if I’m not wanting to use leave in conditioner and gel in my moisture lineup routine then what ? And what are the products that make a difference in both the lineups? The leave in conditioner step ?
Please check your dms. You sent me this exact question there.
Hey Michelle! Could you pls review Moxie hair care products? They're fairly new in the market and there aren't many review videos of their products, let alone honest unsponsored videos. Also I have dry rough high porosity wavy hair no matter how religiously I use my protein hair mask and minimalist bond repair complex pre shower. Could you pls help me understand what the problem might be/what I'm doing wrong?
You know what though? I'll tell you something very sincerely. Think about how much effort one of my videos take. Think about how much creators have to pay for our equipment, our software and all the other subscriptions required to run a youtube channel with high production value. Most often small channels don't break even. The products featured in the video cost more than the revenue generated from the video itself. A sponsored video doesn't always mean the creator is lying.
A sponsored video means the brand is paying for the time and effort required to make the content. They're paying for the amount of time taken to thoroughly test out the products. Think of it as opportunity cost. I know it may look easy, but when you're doing everything on your own including editing and colour correction, it takes a crazy amount of time and effort. A sponsorship means the brand is trying to fairly compensate you for your time and hard work.
About moxie yes, I've been trying some of the products. Waiting on some more products to reach me as well. I don't know if my video will be sponsored or not. Even if it is, my opinion will be free of bias. I will never be dishonest in my content. But do I believe I deserve fair compensation for my time and effort, yes I do. I work very hard on product reviews. Very very hard.
Moreover, do you believe every other wavy and curly creator should be paid, except me?
No I'll intentions with my comment. Just giving you some food for thought.
Can i use Arata super shampoo if I apply coconut oil and leave it for 2 hours before washing ?
It's a gentle shampoo. You'll need to shampoo your hair a few times to completely remove the oil. Kinda why I recommended a cleansing shampoo with an oil and a moisturising shampoo without.
Hey Michelle, I have a query , I found out that I do not have dandruff in my hair but those are nits I was mistaken , they r so stubborn I just feel so embarrassed having nits , I can see them if I look up closely , do you have any suggestion on how to get rid of them even though I don't have lies now I do have nits am so disgusted by looking at them , I am not understanding how to get rid of them
Please don't be embarrassed. It happens. Everyone gets lice at some point. Use mediker anti-lice shampoo. Wash your hair frequently. And get yourself one of those lice combs. You'll need to keep repeating this shampoo. Because the shampoo will kill the lice but the nits will keep hatching. So wash your hair frequently. Remove nits with the comb. Repeat this cycle. Don't use any oil please.
I'll also caution you to disinfect your sheets, pillowcases and everything else that comes in contact. If it's a huge issue and you're not being able to control it, get pest control done in your house once. If your peers have lice as well, it's easy for the issue to reoccur. If possible try to get through them with empathy and kindness. Inform them of the issue and ask them also to take action gently.

Maam, will it be possible for you to give haircare and also skincare tips for someone who swims 6 times/week for 2 hours/ day and has wavy hair or curly hair ? How should one go about caring for it. Kindly do share your precious opinion on the same !
I'm glad you asked. I've been swimming lately. I have quite a few tips to share on the subject.
@@MichelleManuel i am soo excited and looking forward to it. Thank you so much in advance.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Can u share with me too, I need those tips
Thank you for such videos❤
Hace you tried bare anatomy’s coconut milk protein mask?
Hey can u try ktein curl range... heard it's cg friendly
Curlvana gel review plz.. for low porosity.. plz reply
I thought u stopped making videos...I was missing you...
I took a break to deal with my grief. I'm back now! I missed you guys too! ❤
@@MichelleManuelwhat happened dear??
Do we have to use oil if we r using moisturising shampoo??
Depends on the shampoo. Some moisturizing shampoos do not remove oil well and some do.
How do you use all these products😅 do you empty all products or do they expire? 11:19
Most of these products are almost empty. You may be able to see it in the footage. All of them have been purchased multiple times and emptied multiple times. As a high porosity girlie I went through products very quickly.
The curl up bond repair mask is relatively new to my collection so it's not empty yet.
If you're asking what I do with products that don't work for me, I give them to my family and friends as soon as I'm done reviewing them. I don't let them sit and expire.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you.. This really helps.. Thanks for taking out time to respond to all our queries
Hey, is the arata cleansing shampoo - the orange bottle, a clarifying shampoo?
The maroon bottle?
@@MichelleManuel, no not the one in this video.. the orange bottle.. its called the cleansing shampoo.. if I'm not wrong, that was the OG shampoo of arata
I'm not sure I know which one you're referring to. I did include one of their OG shampoos in this video. Not sure if you saw it.
@@MichelleManuel yes ma'am, I did find the super shampoo (maroon bottle) in the video.. I was enquiring about the orange bottle.. you can google arata cleansing shampoo and you'll see
Would love your take on it, please :)
@@sanjananair1702 I see it now. I haven't tried this shampoo unfortunately.
Hey you mentioned arata super shampoo as moisturising.. but isnt it a clarifying shampoo due to the acv in it?
I can see ACV in the lower middle on the ingredient list. But overall I found the shampoo to be gentle and good for frequent washers. Also will be suited to people who would benefit from a non stripping shampoo that cleanses, moisturizes and provides slip.
I will not categorize the super shampoo as a clarifying shampoo. At best I will say that the shampoo is a moisturising shampoo with a chelating ingredient. But it is a chelating shampoo? One that I would rely on to remove hard water minerals and pool water chemicals? No. I wouldn't say that.
And to remove product buildup*. No I wouldn't.
Thank you! That was an insightful take as I always thought this helps in removing product buildup!
Can you tell us the ingredients list of Northwish leave in conditioner??
It's on the website and I put the entire breakdown of ingredients in my dedicated review video.
How much time do we need to wash our hair/per week? with these things shampoo, conditioning, leave-in, and at last, gel.
can someone guide me on this or give me a week planner that will be really helpful thanks in advance
When you begin it takes time because youre just learning the steps. After a while you becomes like second nature. You can run through your routine quicker. How much time will depend on your styling technique. A rake and scrunch will be faster than a brush styling routine
@@MichelleManuel sorry mam the time ive mentioned is days
so can u suggest me a one week planner so that i can start and stick with that!
Pls suggest products out of india available worldwide.
I did
Can we purchase these proton US?
Just the ones I mentioned specifically. Not the others.
