Wavy/Curly Hair Mistakes I Made | Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- I wanted to share some mistakes I made when I first started taking care of my Wavy/Curly Hair. You guys know I follow a modified version of CG.
Lookie here sis, sometimes its okay to modify the Curly Girl Method to suit your own needs.
Cowashing isnt typically suited to Indian weather conditions. Finger detangling may not be for everyone. Using a dime size amount of product like you see in most tutorials might not be your best bet. There are so many little things that we could be doing wrong without even realising it.
Listen, if these 'so called mistakes' work for you, go for it. I keep saying that what works for me might not work for you.
The point is, its okay to modify the Curly Girl Method to suit your needs. You can absolutely pick and choose and build a routine that works for you.
If you happen to have made mistakes, I've been there okay.
We all make mistakes.
Progression over perfection ok?
(I heard Robert Welsh say that)

Me waiting for the double ads to finish because watching such quality content for free already feels illegal 😂😂
You're very very very sweet Seema! ❤️❤️
😁😁😁😁😁😎😎
And omg i can relate with the pineapple one... that was me for the first 2 months of following cg 😂😂😂
@@seematiwari3332 didn't we have a conversation about this a few months ago?
@@MichelleManuel omggg u remember...... yes we didddd ... and you figured out I was doing that only by listening to my concerns
Great videos and extensive research .not sure why the views arent shooting up.you deserve so much more
Thank you Keerthi. This is a new channel. It takes time :)
i need my hair to look like yours, omg it is so pretty !!!
I'm sure your hair is beautiful too! ❤️
Please do a video for your routine the day after washing and what you do after waking up.
I've done a whole playlist on it. It's called my post washday haircare playlist. Check it out
I too have made some mistakes.. But it's never too late to learn from them.
Absolutely, so true. ❤️
You are my curly crush!!!
Omg that's so cute!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One tip that helps me now is...Face wash and skin care to be followed after hair care ... I have been with this acne issue after starting different products.. Il try this way now!! Tq for the tip ❤
❤️
Great video! Glad to be learning from your mistakes! Thanks Michelle!
Glad it was helpful Esther!!!!
Sit down and chit chatty videos? Yessss
Awesome. I enjoy making them so much. I feel like I can just sit down and share my random thoughts.
Omg my hair is a carbon copy of yours. Just too much damaged right now. I didn't know that there was a different method of cleansing for curly hair. My hair always feels so frizzy and I just feel so ashamed to open it. All my friends have great hair . Now I get it. It's as if I was trying to change my curly hair into straight hair. I binged all your videos on cgm. And I really hope this helps me. Thank you... And also 8 hours of haircare.. OMG!.. as a doctor I'll probably not be able to give that much time to this. But thnks
Use a diffuser if your budget allows. It will be much faster.
Or directly try my 5 min routine. Might be better suited to you.
Hello Michelle , I found you a few days back and absolutely in love with your content :)
I started trying to follow CGM too .. used CGM friendly shampoo and conditioner , used flax seed gelly by fix my curls.. hair was good for few hours with all the definitions..
It became all puffy by end of the day though I didn't dry brush my hair..
Not sure what I'm doing wrong :(
Thank you for all your videos ❤️
Hi Shree! Thanks for watching! ❤️
So your hair will not look great as soon as you start cgm.
I've explained exactly why in my enliven review. Will be uploaded soon.
For now maybe it would help if you watched my curly hair journey videos. See where I started and how far I've come. It has footage of month 1 to 12.
I'm currently on month 15 of cgm.
It may also be possible that you have high porosity hair that struggles with moisture retention and are not using a leave in conditioner thats heavy enough for your hair.
Watch my LOG video to see how I make a lighter leave in conditioner work for me.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel Thanks alot for your reply Michelle :) Surely I will adapt the points you mentioned.. I will definitely follow all your videos. Keep going with your amazing content ♥️
@@shreevardhiniAK thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you so much for these wonderful tips!!! They're so helpful❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg such a informative video i have seen till date your each and every video is just so awsome and you looks so so so cute love you 😍😍😍😘😘😘
Thank you so much Yashvi! Your comment is so kind (& flattering)
@@MichelleManuel🥰🥰🥰
Im using wow apple cider vinegar one shampoo
Before i was usinf normal
Vita shampoo
It was drying my hairs crazy
They have more then 2 sulfate nd really bad ingredients
After switching to good shampoo
My hair is now 10x better😃
You know I've never had an issue with sulphates. My hair tends to get buildup very frequently. I really don't mind using a sulphate for clarifying purposes.
Once in a while please clarify your hair.
Another awesome 😍
Thank you so much!!!
I've been having bad maskne since August of 2020 since my work involved being masked up for 6-8 hours of the day. And now ever since I started the CG method 2 months ago, the breakouts have gone out of control. My skin is never clear at any point in time 😭 I think it's time I start taking your tip seriously. I've been a serial offender when it comes to not washing my pillowcases often
Oh man that sucks Janki! Avoid oiling your hair overnight as well please. Btw are you getting pustules or papules?
@@MichelleManuel a mix of both. New pop up in place of the ones that fade out. There's scarring too. I'm using only 'curl up' products as of now. Do you think they could be the cause? (Apart from stress/lifestyle factors) Have you tried curl up products yourself and what has been your review of them?
@@MichelleManuel oh no I oil just before washing. Was never the overnight oiling types. But thank you will keep that in mind for future ref
@@jankichaudhary575 I have a video on cystic acne. Check it out. Might help. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS give up smoking, sugar, gluten and dairy 🧈 for a week and see if the pimples stop occuring + Drink 4 litres of water a day.
Also my review of the curl up leave-in will come in the next few weeks. :)
Hey ma'am your videos are very nice and useful i just want to ask how to manage your in the journey or on way of college or office as i go to college by the scooty it becomes very difficult for me to mange it
You could line your helmet with satin. It should help. If you're comfortable use a bit of fabric glue and do the needful
Who doesn't make mistakes😁. Its all about experimenting.😇
💯 absolutely so true!
Hi! I just started doing the CG routine.. Can you just help showing the complete routine starting from oiling, washing, coloring, deep condition, and styling in a single video all that can be done at home..
I have all of it in seperate videos if you check my beginners playlist. Showing every single step while explaining would make the video too long.
Hey! I'm s working woman. Which hairstyles can i do during these office days???
I have a playlist called hairstyles on my channel. Please have a look. I have a video on hairstyles that you can wear to office.
re'equil protein hair mask review plzzzz😊
I'll be testing requil all of next month.
Please do a video on protective hairstyles for hot and humid summers.
As summers in kolkata is very hot and sweaty. Please do hairstyles which will keep my hair away from my neck and face😂😂
Please ❤️
Yeah the heat is getting to me as well. Plus I workout 5 times a week. I'll make a video for sure ❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel how do you style your hair while working out? I am struggling with it. Just started cgm one month ago and I guess the ponytail I do for gym is the reason my crown is flat. 😶
@@greeshmagireesh3598 I made a super detailed video on the subject. Check it out ruclips.net/video/HlQJJ2IdoAQ/видео.html
😍😍 gorgeous..
Thank you Shikha!!!
Hello mam
I just started on cgm after watching ur videos . After gel what comb can used for styling mam ? I’m used to do top bun when I’m home. Can i do the same now or how to do the hair when in home without disturbance mam
Hi. If you're asking about which comb to use while styling, a wide tooth comb is great. In my case I apply leave in and gel. After which i create my curl clumps. Not before.
If you're asking about which comb to use after your hair is dry, (if you have textured hair), it would be best to not comb after your hair is dry.
For me a low ponytail is ideal. Wearing a bun or pineapple all the time will cause traction alopecia on the sides of the head. So if you have to keep your hair in a bun, try a loose bun. Make sure there's no pulling on the roots. You can also braid your hair when you're at home.
I learnt it the hard way... I don't understand why I used to do skincare/ bath before doing my hair. Got backne and acne for no reason a few times😶
That's a rough one Alisha. :( Just today I was listening to a dermatologist say that even leaving oil in your hair overnight can cause acne on the forehead and cheeks. If you are prone to cystic acne, oiling you hair overnight is a huge no no.
I guess we learn something new everyday. Progression over perfection am I right?
@@MichelleManuel yasss!!
I have low porosity hair and I live in Goa where it's mostly humid. Is glycerine a good ingredient for my products?
I spoke about gylercin in my busting hair myths video. Please have a look.
No definition at roots.The very next day after wash day i could not find curls till the mid length tried many methods. Nothing works ☹️
That really sucks Aishwarya. How long have you been doing CGM? Do you have super long hair?
@@MichelleManuel iam following CG from JAN 2021,,Not so long, same length like yours...
@@aishwaryanagarajan4413 ahhh that explains it. Maybe you're expecting too much too quickly. Remember it's a journey. Right now you need to focus on every method of curl training there is. The length will also weigh your hair down.
Consider some layers maybe. You'll get better definition with time.
My hair without product stretches way past my belly button so I would consider my length to be pretty long.
@@MichelleManuel okay let me wait for better results❤yeah without products it will reach upper to my belly button.. Thanks for the reply Michelle🥰
I wanted to ask how to manage my hair while I'm at home so thanks for the scrunchie advice...I made my scrunchies and bonnet from silk, that works too right?
Ohh that's awesome Jessica! Yup satin or silk. I have a video on how to make a scrunchie! ❤️
What about GARMI???? I don't stay or sleep in an air conditioned room, so I really struggle with preserving my curl pattern. I have to braid it. So If you could help me with that, it would be great.
You know what Mani, braiding is your best option for summers. It's super duper hot and humid in Calcutta right now so i totally feel your pain.
Hi Michelle! I just started my CGM journey and your videos help so much. It's really easy to get overwhelmed with all the CGM content out there but you've been an absolute boon! I just wanted to ask, how do I keep my hair when I'm just at home? The side scrunchie thing is nice, but I absolutely detest hair just falling on my neck and shoulders when I'm working, especially with this heat. As for pineapple knot, my knot keeps getting undone and I really don't like the ends of my hair falling on my eyes (I have shoulder length hair) and pineapple buns are not possible with my hair. Is it okay to just make a top knot with a clutcher when you're following CGM?
Thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Maybe wrap your hair in a scarf.
Or use a pineapple keeper

In this video
ruclips.net/video/R9VH-ij_uek/видео.html
I show you a satin ribbon/band that I made. This holds the hair a bit better. Maybe something like this will help. It holds much better than a scrunchie I feel
Thank you so much for the help! ❤️
I struggle with definition at the roots too.. Is it possible to have 3a curls from mid lenght but wavy at the roots? 🤔 Or am I not scrunching enough while styling?
All of us struggle with definition at the roots. Personally I don't mind the look at all. Maybe you could try root clipping, upside down styling, scrunching more, tighten your plop. Don't apply any product to the top sections at all. Fluff with a root comb to see if you're able to achieve some more lift.
@@MichelleManuel but it's possible to have 2 curl types right?
@@amrapalidasgupta3103 yeah! I have a mix of 2b 2c & 3a now.
Hiii Love your videos♥️..Is it okay to braid your hair? Is it okay to apply oil on no hairwash day? Pls tell me..
It's okay to braid your hair and also use oil on non washdays. I've spoken about how and why I do each in previous. I think in my video on serums, hair colouring video and my detangling tips video.
@@MichelleManuel Thankyou
Hi, Before Cgm I used to wash my hair everyday. after starting cgm I tried to extend that up to 3 days but my scalp became so itchy so I again started to wash my hair regularly because of sweat and heat. but now I notice my curls are happy with everyday wash..😁 They are so nice without any aditional refreshments and lasts up to a week. Is everyday wash bad for the hair?
I don't understand exactly. Are you saying that you wash your hair everything but your curls last upto a week? Could you explain what you mean by that please
Hay what's your opinion on diy serum
I picked up a few light oils to test as serum. Will update you once I have some thoughts.
Hellooo I'm on my 1st week of CGM. And I used to saturate my hair before CGM with oils. Is hair oiling accepted in CGM?
Hey Danah! It is actually. I have a video on how to pre-poo. Have a look please.
Michelle, I have started CG routine since a month. But don't know why I am dealing with itchy scalp and frizzy hair. I have high porosity weavy hair with 2B.....
I am using wow conditioner as leave in and using enliven blue gel. plz help me to solve the problem....
An itchy scalp could happen because of many reasons, some serious. Please consult a dermatologist on an app like doc24x7. Send your doctor some pictures of your scalp to help with the diagnosis and consultation.
@@MichelleManuel thank u 💓
Can you tell which hair colour you use??
I've done a video on this
@@MichelleManuel can you share the link
Di can you share your hair care after wash as I am unable to figure out whether to tie the hair after they r dry or leave them open as when I tie them my curls loose their definition and they become too dry... What u suggest??
I think I'll some clips to my upcoming video. Hopefully it will clear all your doubts.
I think the real issue here is moisture retention. For now, look up my video on humectants if you're having trouble retaining moisture in your hair.
@@MichelleManuel okie Di thankew for ur reply ♥️
Maintaining wavy hair is so freaking expensive...can you suggest some random affordable shampoos and conditioners..
Hey Kiran! Do not worry about following CG or using CG friendly products only. I've said this video after video. The biggest curly girls don't follow CG or use cg friendly products.
Just use the same shampoo and conditioner you've always used. Invest in a leave in conditioner. Use a diy gel like aloe vera or flaxseed gel. I bought half a kg of flaxseed for 70 Rs.
I always make it a point to speak to brands and explain that their price points are too high. You could do the same. Maybe the issue is that we complain to eachother when we should be expressing our concerns to the brands.
Anyway, inexpensive CG shampoo, Wow Charcoal & Keratin Shampoo (between 100rs to 350rs always on sale somewhere)
Conditioner requil murumuru conditioner (for high porosity) or babbasu conditioner (for low & medium porosity hair)
Thank you so much for replying
Love your vídeos but I live in the US 🇺🇸
Do you have any product recommendations I can find here?
I'll definitely try on products from the UK and the states. I need to get my hands on them first :(
My mum made me understand that I should wipe my product bottles dry and not just leave them like that 😬
Have you ever left your gel open and ran out of the toilet in a hurry to plop? You walk in an hour later to find all the bottle caps left open. Then you spend the next few minutes wondering if your products have lost their potency. lol.
@@MichelleManuel omg yes😭 My mother says my hair needs two people: me to do the routine and someone to gather the products after use🤣
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Flat roots are just something I'm done with ffs.
It's honestly not a big deal actually. If you ever curled your hair in the past, didn't you only curl from mid-length the ends anyway?
It's a look! Just embrace it! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel that's true. My hair are similar to yours. Idk what to do with the parting situation. I do middle , my hair look flat. I do side they become weird all clumped up on the top. It's like there's no winning!
@@ika498 it parts the way it wants to. Don't force it into a part. Let it just fall naturally.
@@MichelleManuel doesn't look good enough to keep open like that tbh 🤧
Meow meow
Such a little kitten! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel 🤗🤗🤗💖
