Hello Kittens! If any of you have used these products please please please, mention your curl type, density and porosity and leave a comment telling us what your experiences were. That way other curly girls can go through the comment section and gain a good understanding of the results they can expect if they have similar hair to yours. Let's help eachother make better informed decisions, product wise! ❤️
Hair type- 2c, low porosity. This hair cream is perfect for low porosity hair as it’s protein free. I totally agree that it’s tricky to use. The cream requires a lot of emulsifying. I have used it with Giovanni gel (glycerin free) and it worked beautifully. As for gel, it just doesn’t work in high humidity. It was a bummer.
Your videos had motivated me to start this method. Earlier I used to think it's too much work but you have simplified the whole process. Thank you so much!! Here again I was thinking to buy this product and you once again helped me to decide 😘😘 u got amazing curls ❤️❤️.
Thanks so much! This makes me so so happy! Very honestly it's not too much work. If it was, I wouldn't have done it myself. It's half an hour every 7 days. The longer you keep at it, the easier it gets! ❤️
Such a detailed video covering the tiniest details about the usage of both the products according to every curl type and desired results!!!! Loved how you explained everything 👌👌
I’ve tried using gels that come with those small wands like mascara applicators, but they get stuck in my hair, and the gel doesn’t get applied thick enough to hold my hair all day. I finally got the littlllextra neatfix hair finishing stick, and it applies nice and smooth-seriously, it has made all the difference. I can create any hairstyle with its help, and it gives my hair a very clean look!
My experience with Arata duo- On my high porosity type 2c 3a and 3b culrs with medium dense 24 inch length of hair i need a little more than pea size of the cream and two times coin size amout of the gel. It took me more than 15 to 20 times of usage to learn exactly what amout is perfect for my hair...Do keep in mind that emulsifying the cream is the most important step while styling with Arata or it won't give definition but weight your hair down..also Arata cream might feel very waxy if you are not using any live in conditioner/deep conditiong your hair, at least this happened with me in my intial attempts with Arata.
Long awaited video!! I got the cream and did not like the heaviness on my hair, but I get now that I need to mix it with water and apply a pea amount (since I have medium porosity hair) AFTER my leave in conditioner!! Thanks a ton for the video. ❤️ Would say it works better on hair that has been a bit trained already?
The beauty of the cream is that you don't need too much of it. It spreads very nicely in water. A tiny amount is more than enough for each section! Keep trying it in different ways. Avoid the first 1.5 inches at your roots. Like I said, every product will have a learning curve! ❤️
So the deal is, slip is only taken into consideration when we talk about conditioners (used for detangling purposes). That is when slip becomes important. In the case of stylers, slip is not considered as a factor. Both products shown in the video are stylers.
I had already gone overboard with cantu products once, that gave me a dripping wet look 😂 So no, crown volume for the win :D but that glossy look can be good for parties though if used light handedly. Thanks for the review 😌
Hey thanks for the video ....if Arata isn't a great option for wavy hair...suggest a leave in conditioner and a gel for type 2wavy hair .....also your bathrobes are so beautiful....where do u get them fr om ❤️
I have a video on how to pick a leave in conditioner. I think you'll find it helpful. Please have a look. Also you'll find my bathrobes on my amazon Storefront.
I'll do ashba, fix my curls and curl up very soon. It takes me a few washes to really form some opinions of these products. I can do first impressions and then reviews later on, if that works.
Thanks for the review! I have straight hair. I don't use any products for daily styling. But if I want a styling cream to style my hair on occasion like for a bun, can i use this? Coz without any product my hair is too sleek to be held up.
Yes have used and am using them. U r right, it's wonderful day 1 and then post that u lose definition and get a lot of frizz if don't refresh. I have abt 3a kind of hair. Which other curl cream, leavein and gel do u recommend?
Girls with type 3 curls seem to love the ashba and curl up products. I haven't tried them yet. Check out my winter routine video for product recommendations.
I have tried both of them.. Still have quite of it left.. Didn't like it even after trying it in so many different ways.. Guess it might be because I live in a high humidity area.. And both the products are quite loaded with humectants.. My bad.. Should have read the ingredients before purchasing.. My hair type is 2b-2c, medium to high porosity, fine and medium density..
Hey Praveena, maybe you could watch my video on busting 5 hair myths. It has some info on humectants in haircare. Also watch my review on the fix my curls leave in cream. It may be insightful on why certain products don't work.
I did watch your review of fix my curls leave in.. And that really made me interested in the product.. Definitely would check out the other video that you mentioned.. 😊
@@praveenapillai2172 not recommending you switch to it. Just wanted you to understand levels weight wise and then match your hairs needs to different leave ins.
Awesome review ...thanks for being honest... Pls suggest a leave in conditioner for a frizzy hair... Am planning to use gel alone... So do I need to apply leave in conditioner before gel?
Very difficult to suggest something without seeing your hair in person. Please watch my fix my curls reviews and figure out what level of moisture your hair needs.
Mam I am ur just new followers.. live the way u explain everything... I have dry n wavy hair... after seeing ur transformation I also want to try it once.... But literally worried so much for using so much products on hair as I do use only shampoo.. conditioner... n serum twice a week.... So I really want ur honest opinion.. That does this kind of product increase hair fall or graying of hair...?? N also wanna buy product 1st time... so which product to buy Pl reply... A
I understand. Firstly I only do this routine once a week. Thats it. When I started I had only 3 products. 1 shampoo 1 conditioner (I used to use it as a leave in as well) 1 aloe vera gel. I used only these 3 products from month 1 to 6. I haven't seen any effects as the products te sulphate and silicone free. There's a lot to learn when you start cgm. I've made elaborate videos for beginners. Even made a detailed playlist on how to start and transition tips. I would request you to watch some of it and then take a call.
Emulsifying the cream looked like magic!!! Maybe this cream and enliven gel will give good results , did you try this combination? I am almost convinced to get the cream and not the gel because I am sucker for volume , my crown is super flat on day 1 so, I like my day 2 hair more actually because a little frizz gives me volume at the crown😁
If you're going to try just one thing, I would say try the gel! It gives you incredible gloss. You have low porosity hair so maybe the cream isn't too required in your routine.
I have the same hair texture and whatever u said I absolutely agree, even I have noticed that. Can you please suggest the products that keep the curls for longer time, coz I also don't want them to be tamed either 😁 I want full, fluffy puffy volume ❤️
I can't tell you with a hundred percent certainty, but what seems to really work for my curl clumps, would be; the wow coconut + avocado conditoner as leave in coupled with the orange enliven gel (but only when I upright style) I can't hold onto my curl clumps with upside down styling. A few days and they're gone. The blue enliven gel also works well but I've noticed that the orange one gives me more structure since it has keratin. Hope this helps. ❤️
My hair is a mix of 2c and 3b and i am thinking to start my curly girl hair routine ..it look really frizzy and dull . Will you please suggest me some hair cream or gels ..
Aap apne baalo ko kaise tie karte ho daily and ja b aapko kanhi jana to kaise refresh karte ho mere hairs bahot frezy hai so 2nd 3rd day per unmanageble ho jaate hai pls hep
It wouldn't be wise for me to recommended something without knowing your hair. That is something only you can do. Please have a look at my curly brand reviews playlist, decide the level that your hair needs. Then match yourself to the level of the product as mentioned in each video.

I am using these products along with wow shampoo. After 3days wen am washing my hair its causing an immense haifall! Any advise?? Also its becoming frizy on day 2 only
It was my 2nd wash today n styled using these products and I got waves which were but then before but my hair felt really rough. Is it normal? I don't know why they feel rough

Hey..hi..mine is super silky straight hair.. I normally use products for rough hair..like castor oil instead of coconut oil.. so will these curly products work for me..plzz rplyy
@@MichelleManuel yeah i don't...Nd I don't use any products.. from outside..like conditioners or any other shampoos.. just natural.. but I like this curly types..I want to try...will it work for me..
Probably not. Check out my series on protein moisture balance, hair porosity, deep conditioning and pre-poo. Dont style your hair. But you can definitely follow the other steps.
Please reply to this🥺 I'm having 2b hair type with nice beach waves. I'm planning to try CGM. So what I want to know is can I have occasional curls one the first day of wash and have my natural waves back to shape when I'm not using the product.
Your hair is wavy, it will stay wavy. When you follow a styling routine, you will have defined curls. That's the only difference. A certain amount of curl training does happen with time, however, if you choose not to style you won't have to worry about the definition. Please have a look at my curly hair journey videos to see what happens with time to styled and naked hair.
If you have straight hair, it's better to stay away from a curl cream. If you're looking to do a hairstyle and need hold, use a mousse (that doesnt contain alcohol)
Looooooovvvvvved it 😍. Also have you stopped using the denman brush? I also had a query about the enliven gel. Is it to be applied in the same quantity as the arata gel?
Thanks babe! I stopped using the Denman ages ago. I don't use as much of this gel as the enliven. A bit a tiny bit easier on the quantity. The hold is quite nice actually.
Hey Amit. The gel for sure. my husband uses it as well. But use enough water before application otherwise you'll get a white cast and weird looking flakes.
Not really. I know some men who use the arata curl cream and hair gel to style their hair. Not sure if you would have any use for it if you had long straight hair though.
So my hair is very confusing... Some are high porosity and some low porosity then my front section is 2c 3a curly while back is 2a 2b while some at the wide back are just 1c. And using these combination I don't know worked wonders for me. Now bear in mind... For extra hold and a little bit of fragrance , I always a second gel - FML hair gel cuz that has a good smell. So this worked great as long as I was putting less cream (once ) and two gels ( too much of it ) on SOAKING WET hair. If you put on damp hair- it's gonna leave greasy look. So low porosity hair it's aweosme. I found it better than enliven gel maybe cuz enliven alcohol makes my hair too much dry.
@@MichelleManuel omg that means so much to me Michelle. After my worst first try, I watched almost every video of yours and even though couldn’t relate to many things since my hair is low porosity. One thing I learnt from you is reading ingredients and that has helped so much. You are the only TH-camr I know who says that Instagram people are different, don’t compare, that has helped a lot. Keep making. Keep inspiring.
Can't remember off the top of my head. If you're looking to find a leave in, I have dedicated review videos. You'll need to figure out your porosity and hair type in order to find the right leave in conditioner.
1. Deep condition the heck out of it gurl!!!!! 2. use a heavier leave in conditioner!!!! 3. Check if your gel is drying out your hair too much??? If so overcompensate with your leave in. 4. Try the log method!!! Hope this helps!
Hi @Michelle I am confused about my hair porosity, without conditioner my hair feels rough, not manageable. When i apply conditioner while washing, after that serum on wet hair, my hair feels lively. But very next day, my front hair looks as if it lost moisture while da back hair looks fine moisturized. Also i do workouts, lot if sweating in hair, bcoz of which my hair needs everyday wash. My hair curl type 2c - 3a Not yet started CG process. Please suggest me shampoo, conditioner, whatever needed for my hair
Hey. That isn't the best way to check for porosity. I have a video on it that you would have a look at. I have a video on how to workout with curly hair and how to do a post workout refresh. You could check that out as well. About products I have videos on cg friendly brands. I've put it into a separate playlist. You could have a look and choose accordingly
This duo just did not work for me. I have 2b/2c hair type. The first time I applied it on damp hair. It felt like it has sucked all the moisture from my hair. My hair became extremely dry and for the same reason I had crazy hairfall. I tried it again on dripping wet hair it wasn't as bad as before but wasn't extremely good. I get there same results from using enliven conditioner along with homemade flaxseed gel. Additional the fact that your review won't be accepted on their website if it is below 4 stars is disappointing.
Type 4 hair is not in my realm of understanding. I spoke to someone with 3a and 3b hair before I made this video. Curls are such a unique beautiful thing. Someone with type 4 curls will be able to help you understand how the products responds on their hair best.
Thay completely depends on your hairs needs. If you have 2a low porosity hair for instance, using the gel would be sufficient. However if you have let's say type 3 medium porosity, you might need a leave in conditioner.

@@MichelleManuel ok in that case what will suit best for my hair ? Please suggest
@@lalitharanka8312 watch my product reviews. I have a scoring system for leave in conditioners. Assign yourself a score and pick a leave in based on that.
You'll find my scoring system in my fix my curls leave in cream video.
Do you have any tips on how to form thinner curl clumps.
Use a comb or a brush with smaller spaces on between and style on damp hair vs wet hair. Your clumps will be smaller.
Hey..hi..mine is super silky straight hair.. I normally use products for rough hair..like castor oil instead of coconut oil.. so will these curly products work for me..plzz rplyy
The products shown in the video are a styling duo. You dont style your hair, do you?
@@MichelleManuel yeah i don't...Nd I don't use any products.. from outside..like conditioners or any other shampoos.. just natural.. but I like this curly types..I want to try...will it work for me..
Probably not. Check out my series on protein moisture balance, hair porosity, deep conditioning and pre-poo. Dont style your hair. But you can definitely follow the other steps.
@@MichelleManuel oh..thanks for the information
Please reply to this🥺 I'm having 2b hair type with nice beach waves. I'm planning to try CGM. So what I want to know is can I have occasional curls one the first day of wash and have my natural waves back to shape when I'm not using the product.
Or will my hair permanently turn curly by following CGM method.?

Your hair is wavy, it will stay wavy.
When you follow a styling routine, you will have defined curls. That's the only difference.
A certain amount of curl training does happen with time, however, if you choose not to style you won't have to worry about the definition.
Please have a look at my curly hair journey videos to see what happens with time to styled and naked hair.
Can pple wd straight hair use it.does it cause scalp buildup
If you have straight hair, it's better to stay away from a curl cream. If you're looking to do a hairstyle and need hold, use a mousse (that doesnt contain alcohol)
Can this be applied before using curling machine?
I don't know. I've always likened heat protection products before using a tong or straightener to oiling your hair before frying it.
I have type 2 waves and I wanted to start CGM and I bought these two already 🥲. I'll try them for some more time
Compare this gel with fix my curl gel please !
I'll pick up the FMC gels soonish. Haven't used them yet.
Hi. Can we use it everyday?
That would just build up massively on your hair.
Looooooovvvvvved it 😍. Also have you stopped using the denman brush?
I also had a query about the enliven gel. Is it to be applied in the same quantity as the arata gel?
Thanks babe! I stopped using the Denman ages ago. I don't use as much of this gel as the enliven. A bit a tiny bit easier on the quantity. The hold is quite nice actually.
@@MichelleManuel so the enliven one would be used in a lesser quantity ?
No no. I use way more of the enliven.
@@MichelleManuel ohhh.. i thought it was the other way round 😅😅
I am a guy with straight hair, I need medium hold and some shine as well. Which of the two should I use? The cream or the gel?
Hey Amit. The gel for sure. my husband uses it as well. But use enough water before application otherwise you'll get a white cast and weird looking flakes.
@@MichelleManuel Wow this was helpful! Thanks
So we need not wash the cream and gel I'm new to this please bare with me
Nope. They're leave in products. You don't have to wash them off.
share your workout routine
Very helpful video btw
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Can we use it on dry hair ?
No you can’t
Why you don't use a denman brush 😕?
Watch my Denman videos.
How many day it will stay?
Mentioned it in the video itself
This Video Is Really Informative.. Please Also Review BBLUNT Curly Hair Products..
Thank you so much! So bblunt is not cg friendly. The range contains silicone. Unfortunately I won't be able to review them for those reasons.
@@MichelleManuel oh, alright.. Thank you so much 🤗 which all products, brands u recommend for 2B type ??
Hey, just got your video of products recommendation 😄 Thank you for such amazing videos 🤗
Is it exclusively for curly hair sss
Not really. I know some men who use the arata curl cream and hair gel to style their hair. Not sure if you would have any use for it if you had long straight hair though.
Yeah true it makes the hair oily n sticky
So my hair is very confusing... Some are high porosity and some low porosity then my front section is 2c 3a curly while back is 2a 2b while some at the wide back are just 1c.
And using these combination I don't know worked wonders for me. Now bear in mind... For extra hold and a little bit of fragrance , I always a second gel - FML hair gel cuz that has a good smell.
So this worked great as long as I was putting less cream (once ) and two gels ( too much of it ) on SOAKING WET hair.
If you put on damp hair- it's gonna leave greasy look. So low porosity hair it's aweosme. I found it better than enliven gel maybe cuz enliven alcohol makes my hair too much dry.
Good on you for experimenting so much. Super impressed and a tiny bit proud as well! (While reading this, in my head I was like, that's my girl!) 🙈❤️
@@MichelleManuel omg that means so much to me Michelle. After my worst first try, I watched almost every video of yours and even though couldn’t relate to many things since my hair is low porosity. One thing I learnt from you is reading ingredients and that has helped so much. You are the only TH-camr I know who says that Instagram people are different, don’t compare, that has helped a lot. Keep making. Keep inspiring.
Heyy
Loved the video ; thinking of starting cgm for my hair could you please help me out with what leave in conditioner you used kn the video?
Can't remember off the top of my head. If you're looking to find a leave in, I have dedicated review videos. You'll need to figure out your porosity and hair type in order to find the right leave in conditioner.
What’s “blop” maam?
Plop. I have a video on cgm terms. Please have a look. Can't explain plopping in words :)
This was really helpful. I was going to buy it but I have wavy hair. Can you plz suggest some after wash hair oils?
Please have a look at my log video. It has info on oils I use after washing my hair.
My hair is becoming so crunch n too dry,, wat to do
1. Deep condition the heck out of it gurl!!!!!
2. use a heavier leave in conditioner!!!!
3. Check if your gel is drying out your hair too much??? If so overcompensate with your leave in.
4. Try the log method!!!
Hope this helps!
Also I hope you're not forgetting to sotc.
Mam mere hair curly hai but valuem nhi to kya kare
I will make a video on volume :)
Hi @Michelle
I am confused about my hair porosity, without conditioner my hair feels rough, not manageable. When i apply conditioner while washing, after that serum on wet hair, my hair feels lively.
But very next day, my front hair looks as if it lost moisture while da back hair looks fine moisturized.
Also i do workouts, lot if sweating in hair, bcoz of which my hair needs everyday wash.
My hair curl type 2c - 3a
Not yet started CG process.
Please suggest me shampoo, conditioner, whatever needed for my hair
Hey. That isn't the best way to check for porosity. I have a video on it that you would have a look at.
I have a video on how to workout with curly hair and how to do a post workout refresh. You could check that out as well.
About products I have videos on cg friendly brands. I've put it into a separate playlist. You could have a look and choose accordingly
This duo just did not work for me. I have 2b/2c hair type. The first time I applied it on damp hair. It felt like it has sucked all the moisture from my hair. My hair became extremely dry and for the same reason I had crazy hairfall.
I tried it again on dripping wet hair it wasn't as bad as before but wasn't extremely good. I get there same results from using enliven conditioner along with homemade flaxseed gel.
Additional the fact that your review won't be accepted on their website if it is below 4 stars is disappointing.
Like I said, I feel like they're both stylers. It only works for me when I use a leave-in conditioner (as shown in the video)
@@MichelleManuel I agree!
what about type 4 curls??? also what about processed hair?
Type 4 hair is not in my realm of understanding. I spoke to someone with 3a and 3b hair before I made this video. Curls are such a unique beautiful thing. Someone with type 4 curls will be able to help you understand how the products responds on their hair best.
@@MichelleManuel ok..thank you so much
Do I need to use the cream before using the gel?
Thay completely depends on your hairs needs.
If you have 2a low porosity hair for instance, using the gel would be sufficient.
However if you have let's say type 3 medium porosity, you might need a leave in conditioner.

Which leave in conditioner do you use?
I test out quite a few products from time to time. Nothing fixed. You'll find some examples if you go through my videos.
