LOG Method + Gel Gel Plop Water Mousse for Frizz Control + Moisture Retention in Wavy Curly Hair
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- Today I'm using the LOG Method popularised by Ingecurls along with a technique that I came up with called Gel Gel Plop Water Mousse.
What is gel gel plop water mousse you ask? Well, the name leaves much to be desired, I agree, but BY GOLLY THE TECHNIQUE WORKS!!! This technique significantly reduces my frizz and therefore I had to share it.
Plopping is an art. Sometimes, when you plop and your hair is not coated properly with enough gel, or your hair lacks that seaweed like feel, plopping can really destroy your curl clumps and give you halo frizz.
Even if your plopping is on point and you have done everything to get seaweed like hair after styling, plopping can sometimes cause a teeny tiny bit of frizz. This method will drastically reduce the frizz you experience.
If you have lower to medium porosity hair and don't have any issues with moisture retention, then you can totally omit the oil from your routine altogether. But I seriously urge you to try the second technique if you're struggling with frizz.
You can even do the water + mousse steps on days when you don't have time to refresh but want to control your frizz.

:)
Hi Michelle, I am just binge watching all of your content and I must Thank You for creating all of it. They are extremely helpful and easy to understand !
Thank you so much Shilpa. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me this comment. ❤️
Cant wait to try this method. Thank you for the super informative video.
PS: your day 6 hair is my hour 6 hair. Haha.
Lolol.
Please do! Let me know if it was too much.
PS: you're so early today 😉
Haha. Just decided to take a little break from work.
Great going! Your hair looks better with every video! Testament to the fact that patience is key!
Thank you so much Esther. ❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel ❤️
Your content is amazing. I used to watch videos of curly content creators from outside the country and that way I never really found products that would suit my hair because their recommendations weren't available here. I am so glad I found your channel and after watching the very first video I subbed. I really can't thank you enough for creating such amazing and very detailed videos, super informative. I am gonna start my cgm journey after a long break with all the products that I feel must work for me. Will surely update you about my journey!!!!
Thank you so much again!!!! ❤️
That is so incredibly sweet. Thank you. it means so much to me! ❤️❤️
You put in so much hard work and try to answer all the questions👍
I'm happy it helps!!! I try my best! ❤️❤️
Totally agree
Yes! She's so sweet to all her viewers! Hope she doesn't get taken for granted...❤️
I never knew any of this until now! I’m 45 and my mind is blown! I’m Native American and my hair is just like yours. I’m trying to take it all in before I start this journey. I just thought I was born with bad hair. I’m a 2B. Thank you so much for teaching us how to take care of our hair ❤️
My hair gets oily around the ears and at the crown. What do you do about this?
I'm so glad you found us!
I can totally relate. I felt exactly the same about my hair. Always thought I had bad hair. :)
If you have an oily scalp try dry scalp massaging every day for 7 mins. It helps distribute the oil. I have a video on it as well.
Let me know if it works. :)
Your hair looks so good 😍😍i will definitely try this method
Awesome! Let me know what you think! :)
@@MichelleManuel sure
Hair goals!!! You are so relatable and so real! thank you!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I really appreciate it!
So beautiful Michelle. Cant wait to try this method
Excited for you to try it Hasrath! ❤️❤️❤️
That shine and shrinkage!!!!
Hehe! Hey Alisha!!!! Tell us something about your hair and experience with LOG please. Which oil did you use? State your porosity and density also. ❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel So, I started CG in Nov 2020. I have low/ medium porosity. I have medium density. I tried log in winter when the climate became severe. I tried log with coconut oil but that didn't go well, my hair looked greasy and oily probably because it didn't suit my hair type or the amount was wrong. I sandwiched argan oil and that went just fine. My hair looked okay till day 4. I was happy with it because I anyway wash my hair on day 4. I haven't experimented that much with the method. But this is my experience!
Wow really looking forward to try this... thank you so much .... ❤️
Go for it. Let me know if it works for you.
Once again an informative and well researched :)
❤️
Amazing video di ❤️❤️
Loved it 😍🤗🤗
Thanks for watching Supriya!
U r really helping me 🥰
That makes me very happy Bidya! ❤️❤️❤️
Very informative ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
Hey Michelle I am loving your videos but I have this doubt that is it necessary to wash your hair once a week or we can wash them two or three times a week.
Great sharing 👍
Thank you! :)
Can u also make videos on hair colour..l m following cgm from last 2 months n want to know that is there any different way or products of covering gray hairs of Curly girls . And if not ...then what's the best
I just use regular hair colour.
Hi Michelle,I think I have 3c,4a hair and very tight curls,something I rarely see in indian hair videos. I had been chemically straightening for about 22 years,but went for a big chop during lockdown. My hair in the front is severely damaged due to colouring as well to cover greys.Even as a child my hair was extremely dry and hair at the nape can be described as maggi noodles😀.I have been trying various products, indian and otherwise. Even leave in,curl cream and gel,but thoroughly confused .My regime now cantu leave in,shea moisture smoothie and curl up gel,i have ordered for the oils as you suggested. Will try .Hair is still poofy on the second day inspite of sleeping with a bonnet.In kerala so humidity is high.Any suggestions?
I might not be the best person to ask about 3c-4a curls. I could however offer some suggestions I've seen other creators with similar hair adopt in their routine.
Try ultimate hydration.
Try coating your hair with aloe during the week and see what happens.
Heat during dc will be helpful.
Try protective hairstyles during the week.
You'd rather go for the Shea moisture line that suits tighter coils.
3c hair would benefit from finger coils. So I would suggest putting in some extra time during styling and finger coiling your hair.
Get yourself a Denman brush and define the under sections using the brush. For the face framing sections finger coil to define.
For humidity, using lots of gel will be a good idea.
Amazing, what can we get in Australia ?? Thanks for your videos Michelle 🥰
Hey Lidy! I think ashba delivers to Australia. May I suggest checking out the products that has curly girl friendly available there. I can do some digging and get back with a list of brands that are good.
Hey so here you go
Curly hair products in Australia
John Freda
Mark Anthony
Maui moisture
Ogx
Vitafive
Shea moisture
Bumble and bumble
So did u wash your hair after workout even with water or did u just put more oil?
How about almond oil? I try to use pressed oils and pressed olive oil texture seems more for salad than for my hair. I have high porosity 3a hair
Super informative video... highly appreciate...just a quick question....you have used black jamaican castor oil along with plum olive oil during the styling process...so can we use just the jamaican castor oil without the olive oil????
Also I am picking up grapeseed oil at present.....for using as a serum. slowly will try other oils as well... 😀
Thanks. I used various oils in order to demonstrate them in the video. You could use whichever you want.
Hey Michelle, a great video. Even if I don't use this method, can/should I still use oils everyday like serums?
Absolutely Riddhi. But only use a tiny bit please. One drop goes a long way. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel can suggest a cg friendly serum......cause oils make my hair look very greasy

I just came across your channel. You have got a solution for all my hair issues, so thank you.
I have a product that my curly hair loves, murumuru conditioner bar by Earth Rhythm.
They give discounts during spl occasion sales, so do check them out.
Also love their kui kui nut, hibiscus hair butter.
Thanks so much. I did pick up some stuff from them recently
Hi Michelle, i just started CGM all thanks to you. I am feeling so good about this. I wanted to ask that i have 2b-2c FINE THIN hair and high porosity. I do believe oil will help. But there are so many options ( depending on washday) to choose from that i am confused plus i dont know if i shud get a serum now or try oil first? Also, do we use leave in+ gel + mousse? Is mousse a must?
I think you could check out my dedicated video on serums. See how i apply each. Pick something super light if you have fine hair. You don't want it looking greasy.
@@MichelleManuel Thanks for responding Michelle. So your advice (ofcorse open to trial and error) would be to pick serum over oil? And what about mousse? Shall i get that too?
Hi, you used couple of oils in the video. Could you suggest one out of em all that'd be best in general to be used as serum?
I used all in order to demonstrate. Pick according to your porosity.

This will help you decide.
try making a diy natural curly girl routine . wont these chemicals harm the hair in the long run? plss make a diy as well if possible.
Request you to please go through my beginner playlist. You'll understand exactly what cgm is. What we don't use and why we don't use it. You'll also see me explain things further in my busting hair care myths video. Request you to go through the channel and consume the content from beginner level to advanced.

@@MichelleManuel okay done
Michelle try bella vitta organics . this is caz u asked forn product recommendations .
I did reach out to them for clarification on their ingredient list.
Hope I hear back soon. Fingers crossed
I think your hair clumps bc it’s type 3. Type 2 waves are very fragile & fall apart so easy.
I’m really struggling bc I want to wet brush product through but deal w the stringy waves.
I started at a 2a and as time has passed by hair had changed significantly. The areas where I have less damage has become tight and coily. With the right products I am able to see some 3b ringlets as well.
I think my hair has a mix of different patterns. 2a, 2b 2c 3a and even 3b.
My hair is also definitely a mix. I get some really nice ringlets in parts, some hair doesn’t curl in the middle but on top and bottom, and some loses it’s wave/curl almost immediately right now. I’m trying now to make some rice ‘gel’ mask for my hair, because I think it might be doing this because it lacks protein. I’ve been doing CGM type stuff now for some months, and it’s slowly getting better. I’m seeing more definition, and also getting more comfortable with the method. I’m not a patient person, but I really want my hair to be more like Michelle’s or whatever it will end up doing :) So maybe try looking into if your hair needs more moisture or more proteine. I can tell mine needs protein because I can take a hair and stretch it almost to double length without it breaking….
i dont like leaving my hair open apart from the day i wash it . so i braid it all the time .
I don't leave my hair open either. If you watch my detangling tips video you'll see that I do the same on non washdays. It's totally fine.
@michelle ..... couldn't resist myself but I tried this today after my 1st n 2nd cg flops and after a lot of information collection throught u on products n hair ...
I HV TO ADMIT THIS .....Gosh....I m a curly girl not wavy 🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.....it felt so wonderful .... realised how trial n error on product quantity works ....today I felt what u mean by seaweed kind of quantity ......there is a long n hard way to go but this feels much better than a cysteine treatment 🙈🙈
Ok coming back to my curious nature .
.tell me if after leav-in or gel or after both ...if I tie my hair in lots of braids similar to what you do while dc or probably put curl clips on will it help me achieve better results ...🤔🤔 My hair still look unkempt unlike ur neat n clean frizz free hair
Secondly I m into classical dance I need to pinup my hair n at times pleat them in braids ...is it even possible with cgm or m I gonna spoil my curl this way ... otherwise also I need to look presentable in Sessions can't go with pineapple or open hair always ...so I was thinking of braids and putting them in bun similar to what u do in dc
Is it feasible ...will it help if yes what's the best time to braid ...post gel or pre gel n thn gel the braids🤔🤔
As usual lots of love n thanks for being there n replying ❤️❤️😘😘
Hey! You absolutely can do a twist up and wait till it dries. It's a legit technique done by many.
You apply leave-in + gel on damp hair. No need for it to be super wet. Simply Dutch braid or do a twist up.
You can even do a three strand twist up. You'll find many videos on youtube. Your true curls won't come out but it's better than nothing. Secondly this is called protective styling.
You won't spoil your curls by tieing your hair up. True cg is very difficult to follow. Feel free to modify and tie your hair up when you feel like it. Your curls won't go away.
Review Curl up brand
Hi Michelle,
I have low porosity fine hair... I used grapeseed oil but it makes my hair greasy and sticky.
How much of it did you use? A drop or two is more than enough
@@MichelleManuel I used 2 drops..but still my hair is sticky after this and more tangled up and hair strands become hard...even I tried to emulsify it with water the next time...still didn't work
Oh no. :(
Could you tell me how you're using the oil? For which purpose?
@@MichelleManuel after waking up, to separate the sticked curl clumps and to make the hair little lively day 3 onwards since I have just started cgm and my hair feels lifeless from day 3.. but the oil is making it more lifeless and I can't even touch my hair after using the oil as the hair feels sticky and dirty to some extent ☹️
You use enliven gel right..... Is it fine to use this gel in humid regions as well ?
It has alcohol and is not cg friendly. However, I haven't had any more than usual frizz with it. It gives me the most wear out of my washdays.
I do weight training, and after that my hairs are full of sweat(almost full length) I cannot resist washing daily, please suggest me something helpful 🥺🥺
I understand. I do too.
A few things you can do actually.
1. Wash your hair everyday after you workout. Do a simple rake and scrunch using leave in and mousse.
(I have videos on both)
2. Reach out to brands and ask them to give us a CG friendly post workout hair mist.
3. Watch my post workout refresh video. See if any of the options suit you.
hello michelle, can i use oil after any leave in conditioner or only with light leave in conditioners. My hairtype is similar to yours and i'm planning on trying Fix my curls which you mentioned is a level 2, so can i use oil after that or the leave in itself is sufficient?( i have low porosity hair)
The FMC leave in is a protein product (yellow and white bottle). I wouldn't use it on low porosity hair every washday. Its not a good fit for your hair type imo.
@@MichelleManuel thank you mam. i will find something else .
I was trying to see exactly how U section ur hair. Is the 2 top sections basically the width of where your side parts would land? One toward the forehead the other just behind it?
I think I've demonstrated & explained best in this video. You'll see the sections more clearly. Plus I have an updated product application technique. Have a look at this video.
ruclips.net/video/AL0bF0er93I/видео.html
@@MichelleManuel ty!
Hello ma'am I have a doubt here in one of your video you said that for deep conditioning we can use our normal conditioner + grapeseed oil
And if I use this method on the day I deep condition my hair so is it okay to use grapeseed oil again?
Help me understand better. Are you asking if you can use grapseed oil in the log method? Or as a serum to sotc?
Grapeseed oil in log method
Do u have any video on how to follow cgm even if ppl who catch cold easily can follow it ?
No video as such. Just style as per your liking. Omit deep conditioning. And diffuse as soon as you're done styling
@@MichelleManuel thank you for replying
Can the curl gels cause irritation on skin , I'm using true frog curly gel but i got rashes on my back neck ?
Yes, certain ingredients may cause irritation.
For example fragrance, aloe for some people, certain oils like rosemary, eucalyptus etc (essential oils) can cause irritation.
Certain oils in products can also break you out. I broke out very badly with the old earth rhythm hair masks.
Certain ingredients can also be considered as potential irritants.
Here's a list of common irritants:
Fragrance, cocamidopropyl betaine, methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone, formaldehyde releasers, propylene glycol, vitamin E, parabens, benzophenones, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, and methyldibromoglutaronitrile/phenoxyethanol
@MichelleManuel Thank you so much for the information , can u suggest any gel that will suit me better ? ❤️
BTW from where did you buy the pineapple keeper ?
Hey Prisca! I've listed curlyn's instagram handle in the description box. Feel free to check it out
after hair wash the very next day i oil and braid my hair ... is it okay
I do the same!!!!
Hey Michelle I have one question??
Yes tell me
@@MichelleManuel could you please reply me on instagram i texted you there because i have 2-3 problem while I'm doing CGM
I'd is yaa_itz_sony
@@sonidas6890 I'd be happy to reply here.
@@MichelleManuel actually 2 weeks completed of my CGM n i watched ur video n didn't miss any step but after doing that i fail to stop combing because it was tough to manage it so frizz full Tangled i can't even able to run my fingers through my hair n I'm using Arata leave in conditioner and Arata gel Tresseme shampoo n conditioner sulfate n paraben free
Heyy
Do you comb your hair when they have dried after the wash and style routine?
Nope
@@MichelleManuel alright thank you
That's what I'm doing wrong then
My hair looks pretty until I comb them 😢
I definitely think so. If i combed my hair I'd look like I have a fuzzy frizz ball on my head
@@MichelleManuel that's what I look like 🤣
Thank you
I love your hair and your videos 💕
❤️🤗
Umm wondering doesn't ur hair get oily on the scalp. mine get like after 3 days only. Wt u do then or which dry shampoo u use .
You're only applying a tiny bit of oil to the lengths of your hair depending on whether it feel dry or not.
Secondly dry scalp massaging should help with excess oil production during the week. I have a video on it!
ruclips.net/video/cylUT_cLuYM/видео.html
I mean like not in this method(log) but generally in cgm we don't wash our hair frequently na my scalp gets oily on day 3 ( not the length) doesn't urs so wt u do . And tysm 🙂❤
@@dee6281 I dry scalp massage. It really helps in my case. I sent you the video link.
