Haven't seen such an amazing RUclipsr giving detailed review like this!! Thank you so much......we are blessed...you are the reason I started CGM and loving my hair 💜💜
Almost a year after watching your videos I've finally started to love my hair! It took that long for CGM to work for me and I'm so glad I persisted all thanks to you mentioning how it takes that long for your hair to get used to it. So thank you, you're amazing❤️
Hi Michelle, I was planning to go for CGM since last year but I used to be so overwhelmed with the information and videos on it. Thank god I came across your channel, you have made this journey so simple and beautiful for beginners like me. If I have to seach anything I directly go to your channel or search the contents by your name. I watch your videos before wash days to make sure I am following the correct steps. I used to hate my hair so much but now I am in love with my hair. I have just started this journey and there is so much to learn. Thank you so much ❤️ Lots of love ❤️
Thank you so much Soman. This comment means so so so much to me. ❤️ You have no idea! Thank you for validating my efforts. I really do pour my heart and soul into these videos.
@Monika, I am using plum goodness shampoo but I do not like it much may be because its sulfate free and I am not used to it. I have not shifted to sulfate free shampoos completely yet. I switch in between the shampoos. I use Re'equil's murumuru butter conditioner. For curl cream and gel, I am using fix my curls combo available on Amazon. (Purple color which is for 3a to 4a curls) I also use set wet gel sometimes(blue) I am not using much products now..I will start experimenting with other products gradually
Please do a seperate videos for moisture & protein wash days. I am obsessed with your channel.Last 2,3 days I have been going through all your videos at different speed wanting to just jump in the journey yet again worry of missing the points 😂
I've used their curly hair cream and their og hair cream. As someone with LP hair that doesn't react well with most proteins, curly hair cream was a waste of money because it is a lightweight protein cream. However their og hair cream is a dream for me. It's a moisture bomb. And i think the leave in conditioner from their curly range (yes that's a separate product) is smack in the middle, it's a lightweight moisture product with some possible hold.
Thanks Michelle To style would just leave in conditioner and gel be enough as I am just starting cgm and don't want much protein product and does aratas products expire quickly
Hello Michelle, the video was informative and useful for me. I bought and tried the leave in conditioner. I use the earth rythem shampoo and conditioner bar for cleaning the hair and used the Arata Leva in conditioner with the set wet cool hold conditioner. The product is very light just like you mentioned and I love that about the hair. But sadly it was not giving me a good definition. I thought it was the gel I used. Previously I used the loreal leave in conditioner with was thick with the same gel and it gave me great definition. I think I am having a low to medium porosity hair with 3a 3b curls. I think this will not work for me. Waiting to try the loreal again to see the difference. Thank you for all your inputs. Really appreciate it.
Ordered the same rabge yesterday itself on women's day sale super excited to use arata for the first time... I am 3a to 3b type hope it works for me too
@@abhishekahirvar7783 not good at all ... Not worked for my hair type ... Almost most of the products are kept as it is ... Total waste of money for me at least.... Might work for wavy type ...
Michelle hello. I just saw your this video, please can you suggest me which product can i buy from this range? 1.Leave in conditioner 2.curly hair gel 3.curly hair cream. For regular use ..
I've tested the gel in Calcutta weather. It's pretty humid. It did a good job. Clumps stayed intact. Places like bbai are on a different level humidity wise. Won't be able to comment on that since I have no experience to rely on.
Hi Michelle, your videos are amazing. Can we use this arata hair gel as the only styling product without this arata curl cream? Whether it will give good results?
I discovered your channel while I was looking for a curly girl routine to follow and then I came across yours which was an ultimate jackpot as we have the exact same hair texture and type. I was thinking of buying the arata collection and then I found this video on your channel - thank you so much
@@ayushiraj6057 the moms co conditioner has more slip than arata. But if you have high porosity hair watch my video on products for high porosity hair ruclips.net/video/vIv9d1J7rdw/видео.htmlsi=sTESWWt8hFM1GKn5
Hi Michelle, I came across your RUclips channel while really hoping someone would help with the frizzy hair. Like everyone mentioned, your detailed videos are very helpful. Last Sunday, I did the entire routine like you mentioned but my hair became super dry the next day. Can you please tell what's to be done with the dryness?
Hi Michelle, discovered your channel sometime in December and have been hooked ever since. I only wish your channel was around when I started my journey 5 years ago! I’m so glad I finally have an Indian curly girl to follow with similar hair to mine [2A/2B, High Porosity, Low Density]. I just wanted to ask a couple of things about this range: 1. How do the hair cream and gel compare to the original range? I’m currently using the original gel (blue tube) but I want a gel with protein so wanted your opinion since you’ve tried both 2. How would you rate the hair gel hold as per your scale? 3. In the original hair cream review you said that it needed to be used along with leave in conditioner. Is it the same in the case of this new range?
Thanks also great questions! I'll make a comparison video discussing the differences in details. One is a soft hold, one is a hard hold. One cream is a heavy moisture cream, one is a light protein cream. One didn't work as a leave in. One did. This range does contain a leave in But like I mentioned in the video, you can use each alone or in combination based on how much moisture you need.
@@MichelleManuel Great! I'll be looking forward to the comparison video then :). Thanks for all your patience and passion in creating these videos so that the rest of us can learn to liberate our curls!
I don't do protein washes every week. I do them at most once a month. I tend to use 8 gms of product each application. Depending on how much you use you'll be able to do the math.
hey, can you please share your summer wash routine and what products to use, as i am currently struggling with that and my hair is super dry....i would appreciate if you would make a video on this! :)
@@MichelleManuel i just checked them out thankyou so much! i just had one question, so the shampoo and conditioner you used, if i use it in the summer season will it dry my hair out or something?
Hello Shimanti! I did a elaborate video on gels recently. It's packed with lots of strong opinions & comparisons. Please have a look: ruclips.net/video/QqJ0uf6jkt0/видео.html
Really loved your videos. Never knew what to do with my curly hair. I always used to comb and make it bushy. Thanks to you for all the info😌 have you tried garnier hair mask. Would love to hear your reviews
Hey! Thanks for the review.:)) I wanted to ask how you would rate the leave in conditioner in terms of moisture and heaviness...according to the scale you had mentioned in your leavein conditioners video.
If you check for brands that are zero toxins, you can use them on your child's hair. Shouldn't be an issue. But I would still suggest dming the brand on instagram and asking directly.
I like your video.Can you tell that I have curly hair and it's very dry and freeze so to control it ,I apply every day coconut oil on my hair .if I use this after wash products and next day can I use oil on it?
Hey! I have started using the leave in conditioner on damp hair. It doesn't do much for my frizz and 5-6 hrs later, my curls open up. I usually use a serum to scrunch my hair but unsure if I can apply that post the conditioner. If yes, when to apply the serum? I have used a lot of hair curl creams. They work fine for day 1, but day 2 - my hair feels hard and extremely dry. Will I have the same experience with the Arata hair curl cream as well?
I cannot do without a mousse or gel. I need either of these to have prolonged definition, hold and moisture. Maybe you could try a diy flaxseed gel and see if it makes a difference.
Great video as always. Big ❤ for proteins. I'd love to know your opinion on glycerin, in general, for Indian climate. I have read so much about glycerin and dew points, and how it can have adverse effects, if dew points are not favourable. As per all those sources, Indian highly humid climate doesn't suit at all. Today I noticed, most of the products you showed in this video has glycerin on top 5.
In the range there is 1hair oil, 3 moisture products and 4 protein products. So I've explaining proteins and low porosity hair in detail in 2 videos. Check out my video on proteins for curls hair & products for low porosity hair. It should address your doubts.
Hi Michelle, in this video u have used protein and moisturizing product both and in ur another video u gave suggested to use protein product on protein wash day and moisturizing product on moisturizing wash day. So i got confused now and do we need to use leave in conditioner and hair cream both?
You don't need to use both together. On a moisture washday you can use the leave in from this launch and the gel from the old launch or whatever moisture gel option you have. On a protein washday you can use the cream and gel since they're both protein products. Only if your hair needs lots and lots of moisture and you feel like both are too light for you then you can use the leave in and then use the cream. Hope this helps.
@@MichelleManuel Can you please tell about the fragrance of the products. You mentioned the oil smells great. What about the leave in, cream and the gel?
Can I follow this whole method for twice a week?Because i feel like my hair stays healthy when i wash it twice a week so how often do you think i should follow this method ? btw love your videos
It holds my waves for days. If you have naturally wavy or curly hair, the gel will work to keep definition intact. If you have straight hair and want something to use for heat styled curls then a hairspray is the way to go.
So using a mask before washing your hair is called a Dirty DC ie you deep condition on dirty hair. A lot of people do it, it's totally acceptable. I personally don't. Let me explain my reasoning for the same; imagine you're doing your skincare routine; would you first use a moisturiser to nourish and then a facewash to clean your face? Seems like a waste no? In the same way, I prefer to clean my hair and then only use an expensive mask to nourish my hair. Hope this helps.
@@MichelleManuel hii i think u misunderstood my question🤍 I use a mask before my conditioner, not before i wash my hair:) So shampoo, mask, conditioner:) U however used shampoo, conditioner, mask! Is there any difference?
@@MichelleManuel i too think dirty dc is wasteful because sweat, oil n dirt wont let the product penetrate and the product will get washed of by shampoo:(
I have been watching a lot of your videos recently….. what I want to know is if I am moving to the CGM routine with shampoo, conditioner and now planning to add gel. So should I be using a hair serum after the hair gel ? As currently my routine is shampoo conditioner and serum but it’s not giving me enough moisture and I think I may have 2a type high porosity hair !!
Hello Di... After watching many videos now i decided to start my journey..but m really very confused... Kindly guide me.. the routine you showed above..how many times i have to do to achieve results? Every time i wash my hair? Or ? Do reply me... Or its a request to make a video on this... Pls🙏
Hi Michelle. I purchased the hair mask from this range, after seeing the amazing protein ingredients. Moisturization wise it was amazing. But, I must say, I'm bit lost here and need your help. I'm using hair masks, since years, and it was easy enough for me to figure out how much my hair needs(Twist and check). But thats not the case here. Its so so light that it vanishes as soon as I apply. I finished the tub in 2.5 washes, on my very very low density hair. Any tip on how to understand the quantity requirement of light/gel based masks?
Don't use so much. I think you can mix it with your fav conditioner and then use it. This is what I've noticed: when i apply my dc on damp hair, i tend to use way more. But when i apply my dc on sopping soaking wet hair, i use less. So start on soaking wet hair and maybe use your Conditoner and the mask on a 1:1 ratio. To justify the cost, this dc should last you 5 months if you do a protein washday once a month. (Don't use protein on every washday please)
@@MichelleManuel Yes, I do protein wash once in 5 washes. I always mix DCs. I mixed 2:1 with plum macademia mask, as it has great consistency. I must say, mixture turned into curd(curdled milk) and washing it turned ugly. Tried mixing with reqeuil mask, same result. Hence I had to use it alone with a pump of arata oil.
Hi Michelle... I am also using this range since last 3 months but don't know why, my shampoo is changing its color...bottom of the bottle is brown and white one is upside....any idea why? Thanks
Plz can you review Garnier Fructis Hair Food mask ( 3 in 1 ) Because it is quite interesting that it is silicone, paraben free plus can be used as mask, conditioner and leave it.... I did see any video about indian curly hair girl using this mask... So plz make a video about it ❤️
Hi Michelle, I have straight fine hair. My hair are very long below waost length. Whenever I curl my hair with a straightner they loose the curl within 30 mints of styling. Will the curl holding cream/gels that you show in your videos work to hold my curls for like 4-5 hours (a function)?
Di can u do a review about the brand pilgrims I have recently started using there growth tonic and would love to hear about it from u, other hand love ur video🥰🥰
The cream and gel look super promising! The shrinkage and definition though! girl your hair were literally looking professionally styled!🤩Thank you for this lovely video and such a detailed first impressions💖💖 I have never incorporated protein into my hair so I wanna ask should I like give this a go? (gel and cream)
To be super honest, I couldnt believe it myself. I completely flipped out at the definition. My hairs never looked like that before! I cannot wait for my next protein washday! 😭😭😭
I didn't think my hair liked protein this much either. I think if you're ever going to try a protein product, the curl cream might be the right move. It's very light.
I would only use it on protein washdays. I do the stretch test and then determine my lineup. Unless your hair is severely damaged and requires protein every single week.
Finally I started with CG again in March. I’ll definitely try the curl cream and hair gel. Will it be better if I add in the detangler to prep my hair before styling on wash days/refresh days styling?
Hey Shreya! I haven't used the detangler alone in a refresh routin. I did the following combos: Refresh with detangler + cream + gel Washdays with full lineup. I'll take try out some combinations and put up some comparison footage if it helps.
@@MichelleManuel : Yes I was asking about that only. Should I add the detangler in styling routine(both in wash and refresh days) alongside cream and gel, or those two will be enough?
If you want shine, it usually means moisturised hair. Try a deep conditioning hair mask rich in moisture and a moisture leave in conditioner. Depending on your curl type and porosity you can choose both products. I have dedicated videos on how to choose and the available options here in India. Please have a look.
Super helpful video Michelle like always ,Can you please do a detailed summer hair care routine because cities are very humid in summers and being a student from Kolkata and not being able to spare that much time in Pg for hair care is overwhelming.
Hey Michelle. Thanks for all the great content. Just wanted to ask if you had to choose between the curl cream and gel for a one and done (just one product) wash day what would you choose ?
A one and done would not work for me. I've seen it work for other people. If I only used the curl cream my definition wouldn't last beyond a day. If I only used the gel, my hair would look and feel super dry.
I have been watching your videos from last one week. For a start I am giving a try to Arata curl care routine. Excited .. hopefully I could drop the idea of going for keratin treatment... that's continuously being imposed by salons to me ! I have medium curly but dry hair.
Oh man. I totally get how frustrating it is to be pressured into these treatments. I think CGM is the better choice in the long run. Everyday i get feedback from people who have gone for these treatments and are now trying to grow their hair out and chop it little by little. You can give arata a shot. Definitely watch my protein moisture series in order to understand how to use protein products effectively
@@MichelleManuel my first wash went good. Something that made me continue CGM. Cut to 3rd day .. I just pineappled my hairs for last two days. But now I want to visit for a quick office meeting next day .. cannot use pineappled styling neither I want to go for refresh technique. It's good but time taking.. tell me what other options I have because unrefreshed doesn't look good in open form neither in ponytail. 😐
Finally an arata video! I was thinking of buying products from this brand and i couldn't be more thankful to you. Also i am only months new to taking care of my curls rather than flat ironing them each and every time. I have always been used to apply oil in my scalp as pre poo. But since I am using the mom's co protein shampoo which is a pretty light shampoo idk if it will help me get rid of the oil. Any suggested pre poo that the mom's co shampoo can get off?
If you're using the moms co shampoo, i wouldn't suggest using a pre-poo. It's a super gentle shampoo. If you're looking for a shampoo i would suggest watching this video ruclips.net/video/-AdocdY3Q7E/видео.html

Does aratas curl shampoo count as a clarifying shampoo and can you apply the rinse of and leave in conditioner near your scalp
No. It's a gentle shampoo not a clarifying shampoo.
Conditioner you could. But wash it off thoroughly.
Leave in I would say don't.
Thanks Michelle
To style would just leave in conditioner and gel be enough as I am just starting cgm and don't want much protein product and does aratas products expire quickly
The product remains good for 6 months after opening the bottle. I would recommend starting with moisture products. Do not start with protein.
Can we use shampoo every day ?
Can you please mention the level of leave in conditioner?
Hello Michelle, the video was informative and useful for me. I bought and tried the leave in conditioner.

In the range there is 1hair oil, 3 moisture products and 4 protein products.
So I've explaining proteins and low porosity hair in detail in 2 videos. Check out my video on proteins for curls hair & products for low porosity hair. It should address your doubts.

Hi Michelle, in this video u have used protein and moisturizing product both and in ur another video u gave suggested to use protein product on protein wash day and moisturizing product on moisturizing wash day. So i got confused now and do we need to use leave in conditioner and hair cream both?
You don't need to use both together.
On a moisture washday you can use the leave in from this launch and the gel from the old launch or whatever moisture gel option you have.
On a protein washday you can use the cream and gel since they're both protein products. Only if your hair needs lots and lots of moisture and you feel like both are too light for you then you can use the leave in and then use the cream. Hope this helps.
I am so happy to watch this video.
I requested you for this video.
Yes you absolutely did! ❤️
Comparison will the old range will take a bit of time though.
@@MichelleManuel Can you please tell about the fragrance of the products.
You mentioned the oil smells great.
What about the leave in, cream and the gel?
Can I follow this whole method for twice a week?Because i feel like my hair stays healthy when i wash it twice a week so how often do you think i should follow this method ? btw love your videos
Sure. If you have the time then go for it. Else watch my 5 min routine for busy people
How long arata gel maintain curls Is it hold curls for minimum 15 hours
It holds my waves for days. If you have naturally wavy or curly hair, the gel will work to keep definition intact.
If you have straight hair and want something to use for heat styled curls then a hairspray is the way to go.
Hey michelle! Thank you so much for the guidance! What do you think of BED HEAD TIGI? Is it good for CG? Please do reply. Thank you
I don't think it's cg friendly.
I remember I used to use their leave in conditioner and heat protection spray before i started cgm.
Awesome video ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
Hii i usually use a hair mask before conditioner, is there any reason that this is incorrect? Should I be using conditioner first then hair mask?
So using a mask before washing your hair is called a Dirty DC ie you deep condition on dirty hair.
A lot of people do it, it's totally acceptable. I personally don't. Let me explain my reasoning for the same; imagine you're doing your skincare routine; would you first use a moisturiser to nourish and then a facewash to clean your face? Seems like a waste no?
In the same way, I prefer to clean my hair and then only use an expensive mask to nourish my hair.
Hope this helps.
@@MichelleManuel hii i think u misunderstood my question🤍
I use a mask before my conditioner, not before i wash my hair:)
So shampoo, mask, conditioner:)
U however used shampoo, conditioner, mask!
Is there any difference?
@@MichelleManuel i too think dirty dc is wasteful because sweat, oil n dirt wont let the product penetrate and the product will get washed of by shampoo:(
That dance 🤣 you look cute and that dimples on your cheeks ❤️
❤️🌼
I have been watching a lot of your videos recently….. what I want to know is if I am moving to the CGM routine with shampoo, conditioner and now planning to add gel. So should I be using a hair serum after the hair gel ? As currently my routine is shampoo conditioner and serum but it’s not giving me enough moisture and I think I may have 2a type high porosity hair !!
If you're not getting enough moisture switch to a heavier leave in or curl cream. End with a gel
@@MichelleManuel any recommendations for a leave in or curl cream ? For a 2A type hair
Why does my scalp burn when I use the curl cream, every time I use the arata curl cream, I have hair fall and burning on the scalp
Any curl products shouldn't be applied on scalp. Only apply on your hair
Hello Di... After watching many videos now i decided to start my journey..but m really very confused...
Kindly guide me.. the routine you showed above..how many times i have to do to achieve results?
Every time i wash my hair? Or ?
Do reply me... Or its a request to make a video on this... Pls🙏
I have a video on this exact topic.
Here you go

@@MichelleManuel thank you soo much 😍
Hi Michelle. I purchased the hair mask from this range, after seeing the amazing protein ingredients. Moisturization wise it was amazing. But, I must say, I'm bit lost here and need your help.
I'm using hair masks, since years, and it was easy enough for me to figure out how much my hair needs(Twist and check). But thats not the case here. Its so so light that it vanishes as soon as I apply. I finished the tub in 2.5 washes, on my very very low density hair. Any tip on how to understand the quantity requirement of light/gel based masks?
Don't use so much. I think you can mix it with your fav conditioner and then use it.
This is what I've noticed: when i apply my dc on damp hair, i tend to use way more. But when i apply my dc on sopping soaking wet hair, i use less. So start on soaking wet hair and maybe use your Conditoner and the mask on a 1:1 ratio.
To justify the cost, this dc should last you 5 months if you do a protein washday once a month. (Don't use protein on every washday please)
@@MichelleManuel Yes, I do protein wash once in 5 washes. I always mix DCs. I mixed 2:1 with plum macademia mask, as it has great consistency. I must say, mixture turned into curd(curdled milk) and washing it turned ugly. Tried mixing with reqeuil mask, same result. Hence I had to use it alone with a pump of arata oil.
Then stick to the Requil hair mask or use it alone. I can't find of any other option :(
Hi Michelle...
I am also using this range since last 3 months but don't know why, my shampoo is changing its color...bottom of the bottle is brown and white one is upside....any idea why? Thanks
Let me write to the brand and ask them why. See if you can also ask.
What happens when you shake the bottle.
@@MichelleManuel even after shaking, it's same...i tried to reach arata customer support but no response
Okay I'll speak to them and reply here.
@@MichelleManuel response?
You look more beautiful without makeup 😍😍
Thank you! :)
I have been following you insta. Saw yoour old pictures. Gosh you look amazing and those curls❤
Thank you! ❤️
Plz can you review Garnier Fructis Hair Food mask ( 3 in 1 )
Because it is quite interesting that it is silicone, paraben free plus can be used as mask, conditioner and leave it.... I did see any video about indian curly hair girl using this mask...
So plz make a video about it ❤️
Hi Michelle,
I have straight fine hair. My hair are very long below waost length. Whenever I curl my hair with a straightner they loose the curl within 30 mints of styling. Will the curl holding cream/gels that you show in your videos work to hold my curls for like 4-5 hours (a function)?
I think you would need a hair spray. You find them in different levels of hold. I would suggest picking up the hardest hold possible.
@@MichelleManuel ok. Thank you.
Di can u do a review about the brand pilgrims I have recently started using there growth tonic and would love to hear about it from u, other hand love ur video🥰🥰
Is it cg friendly?
There shampoo is sulphate free and i have read in some blog that curly hair could also use this products
@@MichelleManuel but iam not that sure but there growth tonic is really good, and I haven't seen any side effects
The cream and gel look super promising! The shrinkage and definition though! girl your hair were literally looking professionally styled!🤩Thank you for this lovely video and such a detailed first impressions💖💖
I have never incorporated protein into my hair so I wanna ask should I like give this a go? (gel and cream)
To be super honest, I couldnt believe it myself. I completely flipped out at the definition. My hairs never looked like that before! I cannot wait for my next protein washday! 😭😭😭
I didn't think my hair liked protein this much either. I think if you're ever going to try a protein product, the curl cream might be the right move. It's very light.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you ❤will surely give this a try instead of a moisture one hehe
@@MichelleManuel one thing I forgot to ask can this cream be used to style every washday?
I would only use it on protein washdays. I do the stretch test and then determine my lineup. Unless your hair is severely damaged and requires protein every single week.
Finally I started with CG again in March. I’ll definitely try the curl cream and hair gel. Will it be better if I add in the detangler to prep my hair before styling on wash days/refresh days styling?
Hey Shreya! I haven't used the detangler alone in a refresh routin.
I did the following combos:
Refresh with detangler + cream + gel
Washdays with full lineup.
I'll take try out some combinations and put up some comparison footage if it helps.
@@MichelleManuel : Yes I was asking about that only. Should I add the detangler in styling routine(both in wash and refresh days) alongside cream and gel, or those two will be enough?
Michelle sry galati se galat spell kr diya tha naam😜😁
😂
Hey Michaell cud u suggest just one product which cn bring shine to chemically treated hair 🙃
Stay Blessed Stay Happy 🤗😘🥰🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
If you want shine, it usually means moisturised hair. Try a deep conditioning hair mask rich in moisture and a moisture leave in conditioner. Depending on your curl type and porosity you can choose both products. I have dedicated videos on how to choose and the available options here in India. Please have a look.
Michelle I dnt hv curly hair
Thnx for d revert Michelle 🤩.. Stay Blessed Stay Happy 🤗😘🥰🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
Ahhh okay. Use any serum of your choice. A serum with silicone provides lots of superficial shine. If you're cool with it, dive in.
Super helpful video Michelle like always ,Can you please do a detailed summer hair care routine because cities are very humid in summers and being a student from Kolkata and not being able to spare that much time in Pg for hair care is overwhelming.
I did do a video for students and people with less time on their hands.
Here, have a look

Hey Michelle. Thanks for all the great content.
Just wanted to ask if you had to choose between the curl cream and gel for a one and done (just one product) wash day what would you choose ?
A one and done would not work for me. I've seen it work for other people.
If I only used the curl cream my definition wouldn't last beyond a day.
If I only used the gel, my hair would look and feel super dry.
I have been watching your videos from last one week. For a start I am giving a try to Arata curl care routine. Excited .. hopefully I could drop the idea of going for keratin treatment... that's continuously being imposed by salons to me ! I have medium curly but dry hair.
I have seen other youtubers' video too on curly care routine. But yours is lengthy and informative too. 😂😀
Oh man. I totally get how frustrating it is to be pressured into these treatments. I think CGM is the better choice in the long run. Everyday i get feedback from people who have gone for these treatments and are now trying to grow their hair out and chop it little by little.
You can give arata a shot. Definitely watch my protein moisture series in order to understand how to use protein products effectively
@@MichelleManuel my first wash went good. Something that made me continue CGM. Cut to 3rd day .. I just pineappled my hairs for last two days. But now I want to visit for a quick office meeting next day .. cannot use pineappled styling neither I want to go for refresh technique. It's good but time taking.. tell me what other options I have because unrefreshed doesn't look good in open form neither in ponytail. 😐
You can watch some of my videos on hairstyles for office.
@@MichelleManuel thanks for the reply. I will.
Finally an arata video! I was thinking of buying products from this brand and i couldn't be more thankful to you.
Also i am only months new to taking care of my curls rather than flat ironing them each and every time. I have always been used to apply oil in my scalp as pre poo. But since I am using the mom's co protein shampoo which is a pretty light shampoo idk if it will help me get rid of the oil. Any suggested pre poo that the mom's co shampoo can get off?
If you're using the moms co shampoo, i wouldn't suggest using a pre-poo. It's a super gentle shampoo. If you're looking for a shampoo i would suggest watching this video

150ml cost 799 ☹️ too costly high on price low on quantity
I definitely think this range is a luxury range. The ingredients are quite luxe as well.
They're also having a 40% discount rn which helps
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
