I'll be posting parts 2 and 3, tomorrow and day after. If you're watching this in the future, I'll leave links to them in the description. ❤️
Michelle, I just wanted to say that you saved my hair from great years of abuse.... As my family has a legacy to straight up the curly beautiful hair and do not praise what they have... this gives me confidence as I have hair type matching to you and I no longer want to straight them up... Thank you, girl....
It was an absolute joy reading this comment. Always stand proud and flaunt those curls! ❤️❤️❤️
I bet they're gorgeous!
1. Understand that all curls are different and accept your pattern full heartedly
2. Don't judge products too quick but give it time experiment with things .
3. Try techniques for a few times before judging if it works for you
Can I just say, the lights and background are so lovely! To say nothing of your thoughtful video and information given with such candour that merits nothing but praise and trust! Love ❤️❤️
Thank you Esther! I appreciate it. Sometimes it's good to learn vicariously through experiences.
Hello Michelle. First of all I want to say you rock girl .
I've been looking for actual wavies routine and thank god I found you.
My hair is pretty healthy. Still if I don't braid it after washing it . Means if I let it air dry after brushing. It is going to dry frizzy and puffy.
Just recently I decided to give the CG a commitment. To be honest i've tried it before and i enjoyed the results but i was overwhelmed thinking that i have to refresh my hair everyday, specially that my hair is fine and so much manipulation can easily damaged it . I felt so uncomfortable and I decided to quit .
Now am back and i watched several videos from your channel and you made a lot of things clear. You totally deserve more followers.
The smart way you explain stuffs made my day and gave me motivation.
Keep going Michelle .
Thank you so much for leaving me this kind comment. I'm happy you're going to give it another shot. I think modify and work out a routine that suits you. No need to follow every rule strictly. You'll find something that works ❤️
This was so helpful. I just started my journey *yesterday* and these tips are really comforting. ❤️❤️
Ahhh! That's awesome to hear! ❤️❤️
HW is ur CGM journey going dear?? Do you have any excess hairfall
@@rakhiivavachi3299 it’s going great!! I do have some hairfall but I think that is normal because with CGM you don’t brush your hair every day. I’ve embraced my curls and I’m so happy 😊😊
I actually like my wavy hair. It’s just that it doesn’t have a proper hold but it’s like the mix of both worlds - curly and straight. And cgm gives nice definition to such type. Although i’m not regular with cgm so I’m yet to explore more but never obsessed over tight curls 🙈
You're into aloe vera gel right? Try copious amounts of the enliven maybe?
@@MichelleManuel yes also flax seed gel. Wanted to try DIY before buying anything but now waiting for haircut and then would try regularly and ya will be trying enliven.
But what will be better for very fine, thin and high porosity wavy hair?
Enliven mousse or gel?
@@anonymus5316 the enliven blue or green gel. Hands down! With a good night routine and a protective hairstyle during the day, it will hold your curls from day 1 to wash day. (But this will happen only from month 6 onwards, ie after adequate curl training)
@@MichelleManuel okayy yes :)
I definitely agree with taking the time to troubleshoot with styling! I'm just starting my journey so I'm certainly not there yet, but making progress has been a serious trial and error process.
It takes time. Definitely worth it though.
You're the Hair goddess for me 😭❤
I'm beyond flattered! ❤️❤️❤️😂
So do I feel 😭❤️❤️❤️
Please do a video on your transition journey with pictures (if possible) ❤️
When I hit the one year mark, I'll make the video. ❤️
Thank you for you honesty, I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
🤗🤗🤗
Wanting to see your transitioning phase photos. Please make vedio on you transition journey with pictures.
And your tips and tricks really worked for me.
Good to hear Rajasha! Let me hit the one year mark... I'll make the video. I'm still in transition with you guys! ❤️
So happy this video series is going to pop up when next time someone is going to search natural hair transition tips❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Michelle, you were right about the tips. I could relate to it. Appreciating you for making videso on each topic in detail.
This is realy helpful.. thank you so much.
For me recently been struggling with my hair type and I do watch girls with 3b curls and i wish my hair would end up looking like their curles. But I noticed this is not a good way to treat my self with.. now i love my hair, I don't care which type it is.. I'm taking care of it and i just love it no matter how it looks❤️
Absolutely. The whole point of this journey is to accept and embrace what you have. Now that I've been on this journey for a couple of years, i wouldn't change my curl type for the world. 🤗
I love you so much. The vdo was vry useful.. am a beginner..i also used to watch girls who are in type 3 ranges.later i realized from ur vdo to follw 2b/2c typ. And tat changd my journey. From your vdos i get to knw that the prodts tat wrk for them may not wrk for beginners lyk me. From last week onwrds am using bonnet at nyt , it really hlpd me to hold my curls longer. In the beginning i thought tat there is no grt role for bonnt in cgm.but now i realized tat it is vry useful . Thankyou so much for ur contents.. ur vdos inspires me a lot.
Wow Shikha! That's really sweet!
Lots of love!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
We indian wavy girls definitely need a little more rep on youtube!
I comb my hair wet/dry = frizz + less hairfall
I don't comb my hair wet/dry = defined 2c shiny bouncy curls + hairfall
Thanks Michelle, just understood my hair and changed my products 🌻
Binge watching you videos. Started the CGM a couple of days back and had a keratin treatment in Jan and trying to find even small improvements a positive thing. So glad I found your channel! So so informative
I'm glad you're here Shruthi! Sending you lots and lots of encouragement!
❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel hey thank you so much for the content the love and the effort that you put out❤❤
I did a keratin treated about 6 months ago and my natural hair had stared to grow out and I stared my CGM about a week ago. Your content had been a great help throughout this transition.
Thank you so much Ashmitha!
It might take a while for your hair to grow out completely. A little bit of patience will also go a long way on your journey.
Michelle you and your hairs are really pretty. Your cgm video was the first I ever watched i was so much obsessed with straight hairs saving money for smoothing. I have a beginner friendly cgm. And The most imp thing is I love my hairs now. I DONT COMPARE. I Dont sad. I am happy That my hair carry a great potential and now I must appreciate it❤
I loved that you said you don't compare. It's the most difficult thing to do. You're on the right track. Excited for your journey and mind set. It's going to take you really far.
Wow such good words to stay patient! Totally agree, I ve been watching so many videos of CGM and your video actually made me realise that it's so true to get overwhelmed! Thanks for bringing up such good vibes!
Ooooh! That background!!! And your hair!!! 🤩
❤️❤️
Michelle, you are superb. I love to listen you, the knowledge you've, the way you elaborate, the way you speak , the way to present... goes on & on.... Keep it up.
Thats so sweet and motivating! Thank you Aru! 🤗🤗
Very meaningful video! A real helping hand during the cgm journey 😁. Keep em coming girl.. 💯❤️
You got it curl friend! ❤️
Now That was a "therapeutic" video !! Especially to calm down my super anxious mind😅 1month into CGM and I've gone crazy already.. I must say after my 1st ever wash following the CG routine my hair turned out pretty well. But then the next 2 to 3 washes didn't go well at all. By evening my hair wud be a big frizz ball. Really Need to know what's wrong with me.. so, Watching ur videos and learning a lot from U. ❤️❤️ Thanks dear🤗🤗
All of us go a little crazy in the beginning. We focus so much attention on your hair, much more than we've done previously. It's a very normal aspect of embracing cgm. You're going to be hyper vigilant with your hair during your journey. It's a good thing. :)
@@MichelleManuel ❤️❤️❤️
True, I started using cgm friendly shampoo and conditioner and everything but didn't get any results... Then I figured out that the way I was doing it was wrong 😂.It is definitely something to be learnt with time and practice.
Absolutely true. It takes time to master your skill. It takes time to curl train!
Thank you for this! Super helpful. You are fabulous.
Thanks for watching Patricia! ❤️
Best ever channel for CGM❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tqsm for making video on these topic I've been following ur routine like applying products on wet hair n I'm into cgm for 2 months bt for past weeks m using ur tips n techniques has work so well on my hair.
That's awesome Ansharah! ❤️ Can't wait for you to get to month 6 and 7
This is so helpful ❤
Very helpful. Thank you so much for making amazing videos.
Thank you Nidhi!! ❤️❤️
Can you make a video about takingcare of your hair in a week? I really don't understand when and how I will do deep condition or wash my hair in a week!
Ok watch my winter hair routine video. That should help I suppose.
Thank you so much, this is so helpful
❤️
This was SUPER helpful 🤩
❤️❤️
Hey! Michelle!!! I came back in this video since I watched it a few weeks ago and I have to say 6:30 helped it!! How you said if the condn is greasy for you dilute and it does really work!!! I mean the requil murumuru was greasy but diluting it did worked but I also tried babassu one and I think it does really work for my low porosity hair!! Thanks for telling!!!
Thanks amazing. I'm really glad the babassu conditioner worked for you! ❤️
Amazing, relaxed video! Keep it up!
Thanks.
Useful information.. Keep it coming
❤️
Your videos are really informative and motivating.. RUclips needs more creators like you.. ❤❤
Thank you Movi! Your comments have a very special place in my heart. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your last comment came when I was down in the dumps. I thought about it for days.
@@MichelleManuel Good to know that it helped you..🥰🥰 Even I'm watching you as relief, I got my wisdom tooth extracted 2 days back and its been hurting like anything 😂 so thank you so much for helping me ease it..
Omg no! Tooth pain is the worst. It's the absolute worst. If you're okay with me asking, how is an extraction compared to a root canal?
I have a few cavities that I'm conveniently sitting on. I went to the dentist in Jan. He asked me to get an xray. I just haven't done it yet. I'm so scared.
@@MichelleManuel Root canal is not that painful I have seen one my friend and she said the pain is not really bothersome.. for 2-3 days there will be discomfort but it will get better.. Extraction is also not that painful for normal cases but mine was wisdom tooth which was fully bony impacted (deeply embedded not visible unless you cut open the gums/tissues) that's why its worst case.. In other cases its not really scary.. I would really suggest you to get it done asap if you can the delay will only increase complications.. Don't worry about it much and relax eat and rest well.. It's not that scary..
I've had a root canal before. It was extremely painful. I think I just need to get it over with.
Do one one on hair creams, mousse, how do they help hair ?
Thank you I’m 2b 2c. With a few 3a. My hair is very thick
Your hair sounds amazing! ❤️
I'm still figuring my hair type. At first it looked like 2a, then a few weeks into giving it a chance to relearn to curl it looks more like 2b/c. I doubt it will get curlier, but then a few strands are so much curlier than the rest, so idk my hair type yet :D
You have a mixed curl type. :)
@@MichelleManuel thank you so much 🥰
❤️
Wow...I just started using arata shampoo, conditioner, Cream and gel...and now I guess I'm using it in a wrong way before watching your video I'll try to find out the other ways to use it correctly hope it works for me ❤️
Thank you 😘
❤️
Your hair is looking absolutely gorgeous in this video❤️.....plz do mention what products have you used ??
I filmed this routine. Here you go.

Thank you 💕
This was much needed! But I got late today 😥
Nah!!! You're always first in my mind! ❤️
Aww. Thank you 😍
Helpful video 👍
Thanks Hina!
Can you please do an other video on denman brush😚
I'll do one soon!
I started CGM and I'm losing so much hair since. I don't know what's going wrong
Check this video out
ruclips.net/video/GoP8Twjqa7o/видео.html
I don’t have an idea of my curly pattern I haven’t seen it since I was 13… turning 28 this year lol
Lol
Thanks 😊
😁
I have high porosity hair and it gets tangled and frizzed really easily. So impulsively as a result I always brush my hair out. The thing with not brushing my hair is something I can't really get used to
I get it. It takes some time to get used to the changes. But if it's not for you, then it's not for you. You'll have to modify your routine and see what you're personally comfortable with.
All you can do is try. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel that's actually a great advise. I'll try to watch more videos and research about it
@@manvigupta1966 ❤️
Your voice 😍❤♥
Thank you! ❤️
Di did u use any heating items while on cgm ,also how many wash days u have in week with CGM products.
And you are right with people judging ,idk how to style my hair when I go somewhere as using comb and stuffs are not allowed 😔
I've only straightened my hair 3 times in the last 3 years.
I style my hair once a week.
Lol the judgement can be really upsetting.
I just came across cgm and would really like to start this too
Your videos are really helpful
I wanted to know if oiling your hair is recommended or should we not?
Oiling your hair is what we call pre-pooing our hair. It's a great idea. Please have a look at my video on how to pre-poo curly hair. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel thank you so much
Also what are views on biotique shampoo is it cgm friendly?
@@srishtikunder8644 they don't reveal their full ingredient list so you can't really consider them to be cg friendly
How much time it took your hair to reach here......btw love your videos .i have same hair type as your and i have ordered wow shampoo hoping it would work for me
It's been close to 9 months. The wow shampoos are amazing. Just don't expect them to lather as much as sulphate shampoos.
I oil my hair the night before my hair wash day. Will a silicon free shampoo, still clean my scalp? Since it does lather that much, I am not always sure. What are your thoughts?
I oil my hair too. There's a way to use oil and still use a cg friendly shampoo. Have a look at my video on how to Pre-poo. If you go through my beginner playlist you'll see that I've made videos on exactly how to proceed.
Exactly girl ......the thing u said at the end of the video abt people😂they actually laugh if u put a pineapple ...they are like Wat's wrong with ur bun 🤷🏻now wat to tell them its hard na to explain ....those who know know wat CG method is 🤦🏻😂
Yeah girl! The looks I got at the airport this time!
@@MichelleManuel 😂😂😂haha
Hey Michelle, its week 2 of my CGM. And the curls are definitely tighter than i imagined and somewhere i am not too comfortable with it actually :( . Is there a technique that allows you to do CGM but yet have looser curls? Sorry, am kinda struggling with this a bit
Hey. I remember having written a long thought out reply to this comment.
Have you commented for a second time or did it get deleted automatically?
Watch my 5 min routine. The routine gave me loose stretched out results.
If you also watch my video on my fav cg products you'll see how certain products give me the most stretched out results while some give me super tight curls. You'll find suitable options in these 2 videos out together
Hi Michelle
What do u recommend for children?
My daughter is 8year old..she has some waves... i want to start taking care from now only so that she dst hv to face issues which i had to
which shampoos and conditioners are good for her? Are leave in conditioner good for her at this age
If you check out nynm.in you'll find some kid friendly products.
The brand is called CURLS - KIDS.
I haven't personally tried them so I'd request you to read some review before buying anything please.
So I can totally use my heavy conditioner as it's lighter version by diluting it without spending in an 'extra' conditioner which is light itself ? (Will this technique still work if my conditioner has coconut oil in it as a prominent ingredient ?... although my hair likes it but not always, sometimes acts greasy and weighed down for that heaviness and that's why i was asking you for a light conditioner in your other video. I use love beauty planet coconut conditioner)
A conditioner containing coconut can be diluted and thereby made to feel lighter. But remember that coconut acts like a protein. Low porosity hair would need to be weary of coconut and use it on protein washdays like a protein product. I wouldn't suggest the regular use of coconut for some hair types.
@@MichelleManuel got it
Hei can u make a vdo on ur hair transition with pictures cuz i donno if my hair is a mess or if its transitioning i followed evrythng n it look frizzy n dry as hell😂
Check out my hair journey videos. I've shown you pics of my transition. Also put up a highlight on Instagram
Can u please tel me where can I get an alternative Denman brush or any affordable denman brush 🥺
I made 2 videos on the denman brush. Used the travel size which is the cheapest Denman out there. Please go through my playlists. You'll find everything you're looking for. ❤️❤️
Hey michelle , I m really really new to cgm , decided to start it now , but I m very confused about products and also I don't really know a lot about my hair yet, is it important to invest in a leave in conditioner in the starting ? And if yes which one to buy ?
Hi Rekha! I think only start with a shampoo and a conditioner and a gel.
Test the conditioner as a leave in and see what happens. If it too heavy? It is too light?
Based on that decide your need your moisturization based on the levels I've discussed in my review videos. Once you know the level of moisture you need, invest in a leave in conditioner.
You'll find a video on budget cg products on my channel. Have a look at that video. Those are my pocket friendly recommendations.
Have a look. I'm sure you know your scalp type. Choosing a shampoo will be easy. Make a decision on a conditioner & gel.
No point buying expensive products in the beginning without having a good idea of your hair needs.
@@MichelleManuel thanks a lot , you are just really sweet, I never thought someone could have explained better , means a lot ❤❤
Hi, kindly suggest some protein mask except eggs as I am vegetarian so can’t even apply on hair.
Hi Deepti. Please have a look at my video on budget products or check out my amazon storefront.

@@MichelleManuel thankyou
Dear how to manage hair when we go out side after 2 or 3 day hair look so dry and unmanageble . Pls make video
Hi Sony! I have shown you my day 1 to day 6 hair in my log video!
Please feel free to check it out.
ruclips.net/video/re_rMF6nbRA/видео.html
I rarely tie my hair! I prefer leaving it open and pin up sections to enhance the appearance of the curls at the bottom. I have some videos on curly hairstyles. I'll make more videos for sure. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel thank you dear you are looking so pretty
@@sonyumeshhalwai1394 thank you sweetie! ❤️
i am suffering hairfall... should i follow curly girl method?
Not yet. Go to a doctor and run some tests to find the cause of your hairfall. Treat the issue and then start cgm please.
I really get confused with my hair type. Can you suggest something reliable source of information to know what my hair type is????
Look up some curl type charts on Google. And check out my video on hair porosity please
@@MichelleManuel ofcourse. Thank you ❤
Pls do help! I recently realised I have 2a hair and started with the CGM this week. But not dry brushing or combing my hair is making my hair even more frizzy. Is this normal? It's looking so messy and I feel like combing it. What should I do?
Ok. I totally get where you're coming from. 2A hair can be a little more lax with the rules of cgm tbh. Wait for the video I release today. It should help answer all your questions.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you! Waiting for the video❤️
Can we make our hair from wavy to curly?
From 2b, 2c to 3a , b , c or go forward more
By following cgm!
I started as a 2a and now I have 2b 2c & 3a pieces.
I think we rarely know our true curl type until we embrace cgm and go through transition.
It's obviously not possible to change your curl type but there's a good chance you don't know your curl type yet. You will definitely notice that with time and different styling techniques & products, you can enhance the appearance of your curls. You can also notice differences in the shrinkage you get with different products.
@@MichelleManuel thank u Michelle
I don't know why, am having more hairfall after starting my cgm, I feel like by the time i get my perfect curls I might loose my entire hair🥺
Has your hairfall increased or are you freaking out because of the hair you're losing while detangling since it's happening all at once.
@@MichelleManuel Am loosing hair after styling it as well as it is little frizzy and is getting tangled very easily is there any way that i can stop tanging of the curls
@@Hungry_kitchen777 are you running your finger through your hair when it's dry?
@@MichelleManuel yaa for doing some hairstyle or I can't keep my hair open for long soo.
@@Hungry_kitchen777 Don't disturb the curl clumps or attempt to detangle during the week. Tie it up using a satin scrunchie. You shouldn't experience any hair fall during the week at all. Whatever hair fall occurs during the week should be trapped in their respective curl clumps until you detangle in-shower.
u are beautiful girl
Thank you! ❤️
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
\m/
It would be great if you just call curly hair/wavy hair owner
Calling out men and women both
U make amazing videos anyways😊
You're absolutely right. Force of habit tbh. I had no idea I would have male viewership on the channel. I will keep that in mind going forward. Thank you for pointing it out. :)
