MY CURLY HAIR JOURNEY | I DID NOT KNOW MY HAIR WAS WAVY / CURLY (WITH SUPER EMBARRASSING PICTURES)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 апр 2021
- This is a rant style video. I am quite descriptive and elaborate in my accounts of my hair growing up. Before I started CGM, I watched videos like these when I was trying to figure out if my hair was curly. Without other creators making videos like these, I wouldn't have ever stopped to think that this could be a reality of my hair.
When your hair is curly(3a, 3b, 3c) or kinky (4a,4b, 4c), you have a very good idea of your hair texture. However, when you have wavy hair, its easy to miss the signs. Sometimes you can live your entire life without realizing that you have Curly/Wavy Hair.
This is a 2 part video. I'll update the description as soon as I upload Part 2. I've tried to be as elaborate in my accounts in the hope that my experiences could stir some of you in the right direction.

Just began cgm and people think I've begun to curl my hair now😂🤦♀️ like no I'm just taking care of my hair now🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
That's so relatable. People say hey did you go to salon? Your hair looks sooo salon styled 😂❤️
People I know still think I'm curling my hair! 😂
Can relate
@@seematiwari3332 ❤️❤️❤️
Totally can relate as well.
We waives are caught up in between curly and straight. I too did not ever hate my hair but the frizz that followed every time I brushed it was an absolute nightmare. I guess I just never knew how to make it look good naturally. And the hair straighter phase haha - it’s a right of passage for every 90s kid.
That's the truth! 90s kids with our hair straighteners!
Most wavy girls don't know their hair is wavy. But I do like to believe that we can have both if done sensibly and in moderation. I was just past the point of no return.
Loved the pictorial journey down memory lane! You are really amazing with hair! Can't believe you styled it yourself!
Thank you so much Esther!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Michelle thank you so much for your CG routines just started my CG routine a month ago and my hair looks so much better than before.
I have just began CGM after your videos and I am kinda loving the way it is turning out. thankyou so much for your videos❤️
Omg that is super awesome Anupama!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks for watching babe! :)
There could not have been a better one year mark video! Teen Michelle 🤩❤️ Curly or not love how you wore your hair, So many pretty styles!!
Tween me had it going on! Hahaha!
I'm happy I did everything once in my life. That way I have no regrets. ❤️
Michelle, that dream theater tee!!😭😭 I'm an even bigger fan of yours now
Oh man!!! I love DT!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Super kicked that you caught that!
Such an adorable video, loved the pics:)
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Your hair is incredibly beautifully. Thanks for posting great content.
Thank you so much ❤️
Your content is so addictive, it's been 2 days I am watching your videos 🙈🙈💕
Really?
🤭🤭🤭🤭
🤗🤗🤗🤗
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same!! 😁😅
It's taken me 47 yrs to realise I don't have dry frizzy hair, I have 2c, 3a curls!!!!
*Long Appreciation Post ahead*
Hi, Michelle
You look very pretty ❤
I absolutely love your hair, you inspire me. 💖 Thank you for making these beautiful videos💖
My mom has wavy hair and my dad has curls, but I have dry combed my hair for my entire life (Lack of proper knowledge ofcourse). It was after your videos that I think i can have healthy hair as well.
Your comment is ❤️❤️❤️Shubhanshree!
The fact that I'm able to get through to you is so lovely! And I bet your have beautiful hair too!!! 🌹🌹🌹
@@MichelleManuel Thanks ☺️ not as beautiful as your hair. But keep guiding us❤❤❤
I'm in college now and my hair looks exactly like your's when you were in college. The rest of my family has curly hair. I never thought my hair could look curly before seeing your videos.
You never know. Hormonal changes can change hair over time.
Curly hair is the dominant trait in gene alleles.
So genes occur in alleles (parallels or pairs)
One gene comes from the father and one from the mother. Curly hair is the dominant trait. Straight hair is the recessive trait.
So the combo you can receive is:
SS (then you'll have straight hair)
CS (curly hair)
SC (curly hair)
CC (curly hair)
If the allele is mixed, the dominant trait will be expressed.
If you have straight hair, maybe you received both recessive straight hair genes from your parents.
Don't you just love science? ❤️
@@MichelleManuel thank you. Love your videos ❤️
I edited my comment. Have a look.
@@MichelleManuel science is amazing. I definitely do not have straight hair because my hair is always bent and curvy. Like you said neither straight nor curly something inbetween. I have never styled my hair. I have never used straighteners or curlers. I just shampoo my hair twice a week.That's all I do. No conditioners or any other product. Explains why it's dry and kind of looks like a bush. I also have iron deficiency. My hair has a hard time staying on my head. It has definitely got better now. Your hair looks gorgeous and you look amazing. Thank you for uploading your journey❤️🔥.

IN love with y2k fashion girlie 💗
Yasss!
Omg our hair journey is so similar , love your videos
❤️🤗
You are really an inspiration ❤️
🤗🤗
Omg!!!..Thank you for making this video cause people do not believe me when I say my hair was straight in school n became wavy / light curly in college..😀
Hey Kaveri! Some people STILL think I'm secretly curling my hair so there's that as well! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel ohh okay 😄...but I can say for sure that it's not true cause of the way you explain about your hair with reference to the products
you are so relatable!!
Yeah?
Nooooo.... You DID NOT!!!!! 👻🙈🙈 Hahaha haha... But awesome hair journey,you have come a long long way! 😘
Thanks Pali!!!! We both have actually! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh boy ur right Michelle it did delete. So weird. Ty for ur videos. I only subscribe to u and one other hair and beauty person. And the only reason I even have one other is bc I do my hair straight once or twice a month. I have long wavy high porosity hair that was already dry and damaged and then now I have highlights on my naturally dirty blonde hair. My hair obv is damaged and was always dry long as I can remember. Using ur tips has really helped me to focus on the health of my hair. I only recently highlighted it and it is started to look healthier then before. With product of course. Ty for everything. I will continue to follow u. U r so beautiful also. Keep it up ur great.
RUclips is strange that way. :(
Keeps deleting stuff randomly! Glad you're here! I'm happy I could help.
Are you in india? If not, I've heard heard things about the Shea moisture and as I am products for high porosity hair. Maybe check them out. You want to look for heavier products with castor oil, murumuru butter etc. I think my video on protein, oils and butter would help you decide on the best ingredients for high porosity hair. ❤️
@Michelle Manuel ty I will def check that video out. No I’m not in India nor am I Indian. My hair is thin strands but I have a lot of it. I wasn’t sure if our hairs would be too different. Indian hair vs white girl hair lol but when hair needs moisture or protein it doesn’t seem to matter much what our nationality is! ❤️ ty pretty lady. Not that I expect u to remember but my name is Melanie or mel, and it’s nice to meet u via comment section. Means a lot to us that u ❤️ and respond. I want more ppl to know about u so u will prob see me often!
I'm a boy I never thought my hair was wavy...Just discovered while growing my hair long...My hair is 2b wavy ...I was never known of curl defining creams and what actually hair type is???Now I completely understood it...The problem is that my hair isn't that curly....type 3 or 4...It is 2b wavy and I want to define my waves/curls with a light product...The curl creams in market are meant for coarse curly hair which I don't have...Can u plzz recommend me one???😊
Part 2? Hellll yesss!!!!!
Coming right up! ❤️
Hey , thanks for doing these videos! Just quick question, I’m having a crazy amount of hairfall when I detangle it in the shower and it’s really frustrating. It’s dry and looks dead now . Could you share some tips on hair thinning/balding and how to manage it when you sweat a lot during work outs, etc?
If you're having a problem with wet detangling try this routine instead
ruclips.net/video/_wYkkJCesvg/видео.html
On how to manage your hair during a workout, watch my dedicated video on the topic. You'll find it in my playlist for beginners.
For hair thinning and balding, speak to a dermatologist. I did do a video with a dermatologist who spoke a little on the topic. Best to seek professional help on the matter.
I was the same, I never knew how to style it, so I dyed it a bunch of times and had haircuts that I had to straighten it or curl it with a curling iron, but my hair was not really curly just wavy, now I can see way more natural curls
I relate to all of this. :(
okay so now that i have seen many videos about people's hair before starting cgm... i have understood that i have done very very less damage to my hairs.... i am 21 and i haven't coloured my hairs at all, i use hair dryer like once a month or two and might've straitghtend them only 4-5 times only
all i did was brushing them twice or thrice a day and making them even more frizzy... so i think my cgm journey would/might be a bit smooth if i do cgm peoperly and with all my heart
also i started cgm this week and i saw pretty decent curl formation for a first cgm wash and i absolutely love the results :D
oh my god i have the same issueee.... my mom has proper straight smooth hairs and my dad has curly hairs so i used to wonder abt it alot...like why can't they be either one lol
and once again i would say that i really love the way you explain everything so calmly and in depth
Hehehe! Yup. The struggle is real.
Figuring out where you got your hair from.... ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Wishing you all the best on your hair journey.
Beautiful journey❤
Thank you Greeshma!!! :)
Same here, I didn't know this earlier and have the most embarrassing pictures. 😭🤣
Hehehe! Same pinch sister!
I have marked you as my cg cause you have the same hair type as mine i am following cg method for 1.5 yr but my hair stays perfect on day 1 and whatever I do to protect it becomes frizzy next day😕.. Suggest something
Grand discovery I must say!!
Life changing for me very honestly.
Your hair is on next level
Thank you so much!!!! its getting better with time I think!
How do you maintain your hair everyday? In daily life do we really have that much time to take care ?😢😢😢 Please advise...even I am confused with my hair...your story is totally matching with me but I am not sure I should start CGM or not..😢
Omg I can't tell they're the same person..the facial features are just soo different 😳 but damn girl you're pretty
Your mom sounds so cool!
Yup! She's really really encouraging & awesome! ❤️
Whenever I used to cut my bangs it waved up weirdly then I used to pin it up to make it straight and what not after that I stop cutting my bangs. Also during my sisters wedding the makeup hair artist was doing my hair she pinned up my hair in one side with flowers and clip because she loved curly wavy hair but after pinning it she combed my hair and boom my wavy hair disappeared 😂 I used to think my hair in particular is weird
Oh man! That's like wavy hair 101. If you have bangs and they have even the slightest curve, your hair is not straight. Looking back, we should have known our hair was curly by this one fact alone!
You have a soothing voice :)
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
She did mention that she is a singer in one of her videos 😃
I love all your vdos they are super amazing!!! Are you by any chance from defence background ?
Hi Saakshi!!! Thank you so much! I'm not from the Defence background but a lot of my friend are!!!
What made you feel that way though? Very curious! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel ma'am I had this intuition from a very long time so I thought so .... More power to you ma'am you are literally the best and just so sorted you tuber ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@saakshisharma3153 you're very kind!!! Sending you lots of love! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
All my life I’ve had smooth straight hair and now after my baby all of a sudden I now have frizzy wavy hair, a few being curly too! And I’m in aa zone where I don’t know what to do! Feeling embarrassed going out as my hair (the length is super straight and the scalp is curly/wavy/frizzy!
What if you used a pomade or a serum to slick it down? Would that help?
I'm still trying to figure out my hair texture. It looks straight but when it's humid it turns frizzy and wavy. Tried the CGM and my baby hairs in the front literally turn to ringlets but the rest is barely wavy when it dries :/
Try a full styling routine and see if you get definition. (Watch my latest wavy hair routine video and follow along) Judge the definition once you sotc. I have baby hair that becomes tight ringlets too. I don't judge my pattern based on that.
@@MichelleManuel will do, thank you!
Its like im listening story or my likings from you😂🥺❤️🔥
We are sooo sooo soo similar 🧸⚡️
We all share the same story & journey.
Straight hair was all the rage. We did everything to ruin our natural texture little by little! :(
Me clicking on the video uploaded 20 mins ago knowing m late 😏😏😏
You're always on time sweetie! Give yourself a break! ❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha, I guess 😄😄😄
Your hair looks looks either way👍
❤️
wow! you really are a stylist
Hair enthusiast!!! 🌹🌹🌹
Hey your hairs are just gorgeous 💕💕😍 can uh give me some hair growth tips?? My hairs doesn't grow more plss any tips?
I have a playlist on hair growth.
Dry scalp massaging. Using a shampoo brush while washing my hair. Anything that increases blood flow to the follicle will stimulate new hair growth.
Using ingredients like amla, onion, rosemary. All these things will aid in hair growth.
Hi Mishel meri ek problem h me winter me sarso oil use krti hu it’s very beneficial for my hair lekin chamical free shampoo ke bina oil ache se nai nikalta plz koi esa cg friendly shampoo btaye jisse meri problam solve ho
I have a dedicated video on shampoos where I speak about prepooing. Also my name is Michelle so...
Ah that shimmer pants!!!
Yasss Henny! ❤️
Hey hi, i am so new to your channel but yes i just had a glimpse of few videos. I am assuming hair to be wavy and high porosity because what ever i do with them they just land up being dry and life less. Can u plz suggest some particular videos or even products to start experimenting. Either it be a shampoo, leave in conditioner or protein stuff etc etc plz suggest.

Is their a routine as in the shampoo, conditioner, masks, gel, live ins ect ect ... ?
Hey u sing too❤️❤️❤️❤️..wud love to hear any song u like someday
Yup. That's my main profession. :)
I'll definitely release my music on this channel in the future.
@@MichelleManuel o waooo...huge respect for the singers...will desparately wait ❤️ p.s - have started my cg routine now
Hey I love your videos, it's like a holy grail for me as a beginner.
I also started cgm now. my hair been chemically treated and I don't know why whatever I do my hair once dry after wash gets very frizzy and dry and don't retain curl pattern or definition.
Please help a fellow curly girl find her way and suggest. ;)
Frizz will happen because of many reasons. Heat damage, transition, humidity, lack of moisture retention. If you're having trouble retaining moisture (and have high porosity hair I'm assuming) maybe watch my video on log and leave + mousse. Maybe switching to a heavier leave in might also work better for your hair.
Also thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much ❤️
I watched the video and will try that on my next wash day, any suggestions for leave in conditioner and hair gel ?
@@tv31520 tell me something? Are you sure you have high porosity hair and your biggest concern is retaining moisture?
Where do you stand on CGM and boycotting alcohols?
@@MichelleManuel yes I saw your videos on porosity and pretty sure I have high porosity hair :) . I have been using cgm method for atleast a month and have been conscious about not using sulphates, silicones and alcohol on my hair even before that.
I have very thick hair and they are very frizzy and dry. I do shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner and gel still after drying my hair are messy and frizzy, no defined curl. Wondering if I am using correct products.
I use bblunt leave in cream and wow shampoo and conditioner and aloe ver gel. Also want to know more about products which can be used for deep conditioning
I always had poofy hair while in school and sometimes I would just cry to myself why can’t I ever figure out how to make it look good until very recently. It seems I’m not the only one. On top of that my mom had no staighting rule so never had/have used heat. 😅
Oh man! I relate so hard on this.
The poofy hair. I always thought I belonged in the 80s singing in a glam rock band. Thank goodness for the curly girl method.
Lol we all Pheobes😂😂❤
We sure is!!! ❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂
Hey!! How and when you realized your hair is curly?
wait for part 2? ❤️
What a coincidence! My mom has super curly hair (3b -3c) and my dad has poker straight hair!
And that thing happened with me too... i also used to think why couldn't I have the hair of my mom or my dad instead of this frizzy mess that I had to straight everyday. I was lucky I found heatless method of straightening though. 😄😄
Hey! That's another thing we have in common then! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm glad you found a heatless way of straightening. What I did was straight up abuse!
@@MichelleManuel yayy💕💕
And I had seen many of my friends' hair fryed up with straightener. That helped me a lot in abstaining myself from picking up the straightner even though I had one.
I genuinely felt sorry for their hair but I guess some things happen for the right reason😂😂😂😂
@@seematiwari3332 true. If it wasn't for the straightener, I would have never started cgm.
@@MichelleManuel 😄😄❣
Me too ...give me a HiFi girl😂✋🏻
And to think you are starting to get defined 2c/3a curls now!
@@MichelleManuel yassss😍n I'm loving my hair now ....earlier if I was supposed to go for wedding or Christmas mass or anything .....I would always straighten cuz leaving my frizzy hair would be a mess ...n thn those straight hair lasted only for a day n thn it would get slightly wavy 🤷🏻....it was huge struggle😪
I have wavy hair 2b /2c ....i dont like my hair at all bcz of that frizziness nd all .... Seeing my frnds having straight healthy hair i feel so bad cause mine is not like that .... But now i started loving them ...but i am really facing lot of hairfall right now and my hair is becoming so thin ..... earlier i have thick hair but now its getting thin and falling down .... this so horrible ....and now i just came up with your video related to cgm method ... i will gonna start this method from today onwards .... so can u please please help me that what should i do with my hair getting thinn.... Pls reply ...
I'm really happy you're embracing your natural hair texture.
For hair fall speak to a doctor asap. I do have videos on hair fall which you could check out as well
@@MichelleManuel okie thank u so much for replying ❤️
I am 14 years old and I started cgm when I was 12 :)
That is insane Mishka!!!! You go gurl!!!
Thank you 😊
Ur story and mine is same 😅
My hair is similar to your hair when it is wet
After after drying it doesn't look like yours it feels like it is lacking density and volume.my hair was very dense in my teens by now it is not that dense by still it's similar to your hair nd also the type of your hair by still my roots are very smooth and flat it's like I have straighten it .why is this happening.
Pls suggest.
I think you've got to accept what you have in the moment and make the best of it rather than brood about what was.
If you have no lift at your roots, have a look at my log video.
I want to know this from your side that do you also face this problem of definition at the root ?
And also I am beginner and it's been one month only following CGM.
@@heera5101 ofcourse I do sweetie! But I never look at it like a flaw or an issue. When I curled my hair with a curling tong, I never started at the root. I always left a few inches at the top and then started curling. Why would you let it bother you? Embrace your journey. And remember it gets better every month. Curl training does not happen overnight. Also don't forget to celebrate the small wins! ❤️❤️❤️
Lots of love.
Thank you so much for this .
Your hair is so gorgeous nd so you are ..loads of love .😍
Lolol that pheebs' reference
😂😂😂 ❤️❤️❤️
Michelle such a small world, pls give Manual uncle my regards. He knew my dad so well and I have been to your house so many times
Oh wow. That's so awesome.
What was your dad's name?
I must tell him. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel my father is no more, I think Manual uncle knows. His nick name was Kestho, he was into construction. My mother watched your video with me and she recollected, and sent you her love
Shrestha, I am so sorry to hear that. I knew your dad.
Very small world! Please give your mum my regards.
Sending you a very big hug!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel will do. I am so thrilled to have found your channel. Pls continue doing the good work and my love and regards to Uncle and Ma’am 🤍🌸

And nope, I did my schooling from St. Joseph’s Convent (SJC)
My aunt teaches in SJC. Her name is Donna Lepcha! Maybe you know her?
@@MichelleManuel omg!!! Yesss
We used to go school in the same vehicle too.. haha 😆
One thing i noticed in your journey that after your teenage your skin also chnge to glowy skin have uh followed skin care or anything else???
I didn't follow a skincare routine up until 5 years ago.
I think a significant change was my diet and lifestyle. I started drinking more water. I started eating more fruits and vegetables. Maybe it had an impact on my skin?
@@MichelleManuel aww that soo gyd i m new subscriber n was confused that you are indian or any foreigner grl 😂 btw you r soo pretty n your accent n voice is fab 💕 keep going gbu always ❤
I'm an indian. Loud and pride baby! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you're asking about my ethnicity, i belong to a community called the Anglo Indian community found primarily in Calcutta.
I was 18 and I had the same hair color as you did 😂
Oh nice!

As man people expect in society
U shouldn't take longer to dress
Focus on fashion
Take care of hairs.
Taking care of skin
Multiple different products
Growing your hairs long
Growing beard long
"Atleast in my place" its taboo
Doing tattos
Dress in Gotic style 🤔
And think like u should not and its feminine.
Maybe in india overall it is like that!
