U r d elder sister I never had. My mom is always forcing me to straighten my hair and that's my why my hair is all damaged now. After washing and drying my hair, I get 3a curls and now imagine if I used the right method how pretty my hair would look. Thanks for being my mentor on this Curly Hair journey!!! Lots of love ❤
Vaishnavi!!!! Your hair is going to look gorgeous. The more time passes, the better it gets. You won't even want to straighten your hair. Also I'm glad you're here. I'm in your corner always! ❤️
I was finding a denman brush and it was way out of my budget, but after seeing this video I went ahead and bought the dupe brush. I must say the results are amazing and I am loving my curls...I have started my CMG journey by watching your videos and all the videos are so helpful and informative, Thank you so much for making this content🥺
Denman is superior wrt long-lasting curls but that miniso dupe did its best especially great for beginners/students/single day events. Great video as always! Thank you for keeping it real ❤
Thank you Michelle for trying this am so happy 😊 😃 u are such a genuine RUclips who listens to their subscriber suggestion and posting what they ask...
@@MichelleManuel aww so sweet of you ❤ you are the one person whom I follow from the start of cgm and the only one person whom I recommend anyone who asks me how to do cgm
That’s tough. I think I would need to see the denman brush curls broken up to compare apples to apples better. Interesting video. I can’t say which I like better bc there are positives and negatives to both.
I recently started using a similar vent brush from GUBB USA. I don’t do coils because that’s not the type of look I like, but I style section by section just like I used to do with wide toothed combs. It does give me thicker clumps which I love and it’s my go to brush for styling currently. Saves time with styling since I can take bigger section of hair. with GUBB USA comb.
Your hair styling videos are so much fun to watch.❤. But I like your comb styled look anytime over coils. I have been using this amazing comb from vega which I bought two years back for coloring purpose. It easily glides through while detangling and forms thicker clumps while styling. Best part of this comb is its unique sectioning back, which I use it for removing fairy knots. All thanks to you, I got it out of cupboard after watching your videos and I'm thoroughly enjoying styling with it.💕
Thanks so much. Me too. I like my usual styling routine too. It works best for me so far. I'm happy you took that brush out. It's amazing to make use of the things you already have at home instead of buying something new. Great going! ❤️
I absolutely love your videos. The best part about them is, you do not shy away from exploring budget-friendly products so that the masses have better information and access to style their hair. Just one request, can you please make a video on 2b/2c haircuts? I have like really long curly hair and I haven't cut them for years now. I really want to try a haircut that doesn't take away my length but adds some style to it. Can you please make a video on what should we ask from our hairstylists considering many salons in India, especially in small towns, do not have people that understand our hair type properly. I ll be waiting for such a video on haircuts and what-to-ask for. Thanks. :)
Thank you! ❤️ I have a haircut video on my channel. But I will get my hair cut at a salon soon. I'll film it for the channel so that you guys get an idea of what to ask for etc
the editing you’ve been doing in your videos lately is literally perfect! the brush coils with the miniso brush look really nice,and I think that the curls look more natural,I actually have a similar brush at home,so I’ll definitely try this on my next washday! also do you think you could do a video on co-washing and maybe review some co-washes? I have the manetain one but I’ve never co-washed before so I’m kind of nervous lol
I'm really happy you noticed. I've been working so hard on the edits. I don't know if cowashing is for me. My scalp is very oily. I don't want to risk clogging it up. Is the cowash cleansing/lathering* at all? Btw how was your first day? I've been meaning to ask.
@@MichelleManuel yeah the pop ups,color scheme and fonts all tied together really nicely! I tried using the co-wash today,and it was actually really nice! It didn’t lather at all,but I had used a pre-poo before washing and it got rid of all of it! My hair tends to be a bit dry,so maybe that’s why it worked so well for me. My first day of school was really nice,thanks for asking! (the amount of drama however,that took place in one week was more than the drama that took place in a year-but it was still very fun!)
Hey...thanx for comparison..... I like the miniso brush better.....u saved me from wasting my money.....😍😍btw this look really suits u.....the miniso one
Thanks for this video, was waiting for something like this..you always nail it, thanks for all the trouble you take in making your videos. Keep it coming girl
You have no idea how eagerly I was waiting for this since your haul. I bought the miniso brush a month back, tried it but for some reason it wasn't working for me. My hair gets stucks at the joint. I'll try with this technique now. Thank you 🤗
Thanks for letting me know. I'll be careful when using the brush in my regular routine. Will also check to see if it snags on my hair. Thanks for letting me know. Definitely try coiling and hair and see if you have any luck. Let me know if it works out.
Hi Michelle, just want to let you know I'm so glad I found your channel. 💗 I have 2B waves and was facing many issues with hold and definition. I have seen you rave about Enliven gel. Ive been using it and it changed my hair game. I get great results now , all thanks to you 🥰Also your scalp massage tip really helped me. I have also tried Shirolepam mask on your recommendation and that works wonder. I guess I have a similar hair pattern as you, so same routine works 😂 lots of love. ❤️❤️❤️
You have no idea how happy I feel when I hear that a product that I love works well on someone else. ❤️❤️ The enliven gel isn't suited to everyone. But I personally really need and enjoy the hold, especially when it comes at such an amazing price.
If you want those coily ringlets (which you will easily get with your curl type) I would say, don't break the clumps. Coils will look amazing on your hair. Even if you don't coil all of your hair, try to do the top/superficial sections.
This is such an amazing video! I prefer ur hair both ways if u ask me 😬. The miniso one looked like how your hair would look normally but the denman one had quite some definition 😮. Since I don't do hairbrushes (expensive 🙈) I don't know how to style with them but I've saved this video for future tips! Thank you for all your hard work! ❤️❣️ I have one request though. Could you please make a video on CG friendly gels as well like you did with leave ins? (also please mention their hold capacity)
My thoughts exactly. I spent a significant amount of time coiling with the brush. My results were pretty similar to my usual results. Maybe slightly more coily* than usual. About the gels, yes. I have very little experience with cg gels as I don't like the volume they give me. If I had to make a video on cg friendly gels, I would require a few months to test them out properly. If you won't mind waiting a bit, I'd be happy to make that video.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you so much for replying!! of course I don't mind waiting hehe. Take your time! You already put in so much hard work in your videos I look forward to each and every new one ❤️
@@MichelleManuel Iam honored 😄😄😄😝, I actually felt that your hair looked much better while styling with the Miniso brush. But as you said, it may also be because of the inclusion of tiny changes in styling like separating the curls after they have completely dried
It's so interesting to see differing thoughts. I did regret my gel choice for one and the fact that I separated my clumps. But again this only goes to show you that we all have different choices when it comes to what results we prefer. And that is amazing! For me, my thoughts were; I spent so much time coiling my hair, I need them to last. Else its no different to the other faster styling routines I've tried.
Wow I really like your hair using the dupe brush! I wanted to try the brush too. But unfortunately the brush is not available anymore. Is there any other dupe for Denman brush?
Alisha, your hair is gorgeous and so is your new haircut!!!! I toh full on got inspired! I'm getting another haircut because of you! And your natural volume Alisha!!!!! 🙈🙈🙈❤️❤️
Hey, I started CGM in November 2019 and my hair was doing very good till may of 2021 I was following my daily routine and losing barely any but after May 2021 I started shedding more hair than usual but it was not more than the standard 100-150 strands Although I used to loose most of my hair in the shower Could combing my hair in the shower be the reason for more than usual shedding (I have 2B 2 C hair) ?
It's a possibility for sure. When you comb your hair you will definitely lose more hair. But it's if something out of the ordinary I would suggest consulting a doctor.
Hi Michelle ❤️ I want to ask you a question that's not related to the video 😅. Do you straighten your hair once in while? And if you do, can you please tell me which straightener do you use ? Btw really liked the video . I'll try the miniso brush first as it's more budget. friendly
From the time that I started my curly hair journey, I haven't touched a straightner. I've hidden away all my heat styling tools. I'll definitely fish them out and try it once. I'll try to vlog my experiences. I'll leave the details in the description
I'll answer in bullet points if that's ok. Protein moisture balance Hard hold gel Clarifying frequently Acv rinses once a month Satin scrunchies only Satin pillowcase Satin bonnet All of these things help me prolong my wash day results. If you still have frizz due to cgm transition, consider watching my video on serums. Ive shared a few other frizz fighting tips.
My hair is very loose type and frizzy. It is low porosity hair. Please make a video on the products which will suit such type of hair. I'm damn confused.
Watch my winter routine video. You'll get some ideas on how to tackle a dry scalp. You can also use a scalp treatment mask like the shirolepam hair mask. They're on sale right now.

True. But I also think my gel choice and the fact that I broke up the clumps had something to do with the way the results lasted.
@@MichelleManuel In short, definitely an investment 👌
