MY CURLY HAIR JOURNEY | I DID NOT KNOW MY HAIR WAS WAVY CURLY PART 2 (WITH CGM PROGRESS PICTURES)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- I decided to make this a #storytime video for a reason. I'm hoping that even if you have a shadow of a doubt, this video will clear them.
I am quite descriptive and elaborate in my accounts of why I started the curly girl method. Before I started CGM, I watched videos like these when I was trying to figure out if my hair was curly. Without other creators making videos like these, I wouldn't have ever stopped to think that this could be a reality of my hair.
When your hair is curly(3a, 3b, 3c) or kinky (4a,4b, 4c), you have a very good idea of your hair texture. However, when you have wavy hair, its easy to miss the signs. Sometimes you can live your entire life without realizing that you have Curly/Wavy Hair.
This is a 2 part video. I've tried to be as elaborate in my accounts in the hope that my experiences could stir some of you in the right direction.

I remember I had watched so much content in the initial cgm discovery stage, I felt like I know how to go about it but couldn't relate to any content creator even though I found girls having curl type similar to mine because they were using products from international brands plus they had been following CG for years. And that's how I found your first Curly hair routine video. I had watched it a good 3-4 times.😚😊
I'm so glad I started this channel when I was still transitioning. ❤️❤️❤️ You know, your follow up questions really helped me understand what I forgot to cover in that video. I've been thinking of re-making it properly including all the important things you pointing out. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel ❤️ Yeah once i found your channel, a girl i could relate to I shamelessly dropped queries on every video of yours in the beginning. Hehehe.
@@alishathomas4540 I'm really glad you did that! It helps me improve my videos and include things I've missed out on. ❤️
It's crazy how many people don't realize their hair is wavy or curly. Yours is so beautiful!
Yeah! It's so true!
:) Thank you sweetie!
Did anyone notice how she becomes happier after each passing month. 😄
Such an amazing journey Michelle.
I used to straighten my hair DAILY in college. Just because everyone in the hostel had poker straight hair, I just assumed thats the normal thing to do. Your videos have helped me so much to change my entire routine this lockdown. My heart goes out to you. ❣
PS: I'm on month 4. And the results are already super awesome.
I didn't even realise that!!! Lol.
By month 5 I was really feeling myself lol.
I think straightening was the norm a back then! There was hardly any curly rep in the media!
Ugly Betty had curly hair and once she straightened it and wore makeup she was depicted as being pretty! Portrayals like these have been toxic for us textured hair girls!
But things are changing now and we love to see it! Watching Pagglait on Netflix gave me life!!!! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel thigs are much changing and people now want curly hair like us 😂😂 now i want my curly hair like urs
❤️
You're my Sierra! Literally haven't watched any other CGM video apart from yours. Thank you so so much Michelle 🥰
That's so relatable. I used to straighten my hair twice a day and damn after a few years I started losing 1000 strands everyday. I know this because I used to count. I was literally going bald. I wanted to do so much for my hair but I had no idea where to begin with. One day while searching for some diy, I came across this curly girl method. I won't say that it's perfect rn but yeah it's better than what it used to be.
Your videos are a one-stop solution for people like me. Because of you I realised that my hair is wavy. I am definitely gonna recommend your videos to all curly girls around me. And yeah that humiliation, I faced that too. 🥺
Thank you so much for putting efforts and creating such contents. Product reviews are always available but someone who's sharing their journey with us, that's what I really like about your channel. God bless you ❤️😊
Thank you so much Rashmi!
So heart warming to read this comment.
Sending you the biggest hug!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Keep going! Because it keeps getting better!
Oh my god.. i relate so much.. I started CGM last year.. but i gave up after 1-2 washes because it felt weird and sticky… i came across your channel last week and it motivated me to begin again.. i am learning about my wavy hair so much now… your content is so good and to the point and relatable.. thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome. I've tried to talk about how gross my hair felt when I first started. I probably need to talk about it more. It's a shared expensive that a lot of us face. I'm glad you didn't give up! ❤️
I've just stepped into the curly girl world and your channel is my savior. Amazing info and no rambling. Love all the videos. ❤️
No rambling! Lol! Imma take it! 👍
Thanks for sharing your story, every single video you make has been so detailed from budget friendly videos, to breaking down terms, and most importantly showing us your progress. I was once convinced that only straightening my hair would work. You have single handedly set up so many of us on a journey of self discovery.
I am very touched by this beautiful comment Shirin!!! Literally bawling! ❤️❤️❤️
Lots and lots of love!
Love how your hair progressively changed every month of transition 🤩🔥
Oh my gosh Alisha, I'm so glad I have videos & pictures of month 1 to 5 ❤️ it's so helpful to look back on them.
I want to encourage you to take as many videos and pics as you can & documenting your journey!!!!
@@MichelleManuel I realised that just recently so i have downloaded this app called 'quinn' to keep track.
@@alishathomas4540 oh wow. I'll check it out too! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤️
Hey Beautiful...love your hair, I always knew I had curly hair, I am 50 now so you can imagine what my hair has gone through lol, last time I chemically treated my hair was just right before the lockdown started, and then I just coloured my hair maybe just once, but because of my depression, menopause and all the blah blahs , I really neglected my hair, they used to peak up into knots and I would not bother combing them out, and when I would , the hair loss and pain caused me so much trauma! I just recently discovered CGM a week ago, before that, I trained myself to not wash my hair every day..and am already seeing benefits, hairball has decreased, I don't lose hair anymore, I am so glad I found your channel, last night I bought a bunch of stuff you suggested taking it one step at a time. 🙂..Thank you so much ♥️
Thank you for sharing your journey! I know it must have been difficult to type it out.
Sometimes life takes over and we neglect ourselves. As women I sometimes think we're programmed that way (hopefully I'm wrong). But a time comes when we have to start giving ourselves that time and space to really nurture & pamper ourselves. Everytime I take care of my hair, it has become an act of self love. I want to share this with you in the hope that you do the same! Sending you lots of love and encouragement. So happy you're playing for team curly now! ❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel Thank you Angel..I will not take up more of your time..but am sure glad to have found you..🙂♥️
I had a very long hair and after donating it to cancer hospital I started growing my hair again after that only I came to know that I have a wavy hair. But still I had a doubt and could not find a perfect cgm video for myself. After watching your videos I got motivated and I’m gonna start my cgm journey again. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story. It's remarkable that you were able to donate your hair. Such an awesome thing to do!
Hats off! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I'm still in beginners part of CGM. I started of with Big Chop, because my hair looks like coconut husk. I have watched your videos. thanks your content about hair routine. Keep up the good work.🥰
Beautiful journey❣
I'm motivated and inspired and mesmerized by your hair💖
Thank you so much Shubhanshree!!! I want to encourage you to keep going!!! ❤️
Speechless. Like totally. You and your hair are an inspiration to me. I started cgm in January and totally happy with my results. My hair never looked better. All because of you💕
I'm so happy you started Aditi!!! Much love and power to you!!!!! Your hair looks fabulous already! ❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel thankfully🙌
❤🎉Wow, I applaud your tenacity! Your damaged hair without product that you showed us is what mine looks like without curl styling cream, and actually a bit worse. But I haven't used heat tools at all in over 7 years. Haven't had a haircut in almost 2 years. It's very long, and damaged/frizzy but only because I've been brushing it too hard and wrong. I was ripping and snapping it out creating tangles! My teen daughter, who is a natural and in Cosmetology, recently corrected me. I was losing tons of hair, and literally crying recently, because I couldn't detangle my hair without help (from my husband). I just couldn't comb it through. Until she showed me that I don't even have many tangles at all. I was brushing from the top. I get frustrated easily and I love low maintenance, but still want that beautiful mermaid hair. Anyway, sometimes it's the simplest things that can change everything. Now I have no issues with detangling. It looks a little better now, mostly easier to manage. Beachy waves, bring it on! So far, I can relate to your content better than other girls. Thank you again ❤❤
Not combing your hair is a difficult idea to wrap our head around. But for people with texture it makes such a huge difference. I'm so glad your daughter helped you embrace this idea!
@@MichelleManuel thank u💜 But it's not that I was combing out my curls/wave texture at all. Only before a wash I will detangle. I just wasn't doing it right.🤷🏻♀️ Idk, maybe I misunderstood the statement
Yes yes. That's what I'm saying. Not combing during the week (when your hair is styled) is a good idea. To detangle you'll need to comb or run your fingers through of course.
.
Ommmmg! It’s crazy how my story is exactly the same as yours!! I totally relate to the beach hair bit tooo! I’m so glad I found you.😭❤️❤️
Ohhh same pinch Divya!!! Happy to have you here! ❤️❤️
Hi Michelle, I cannot thank you enough for sharing all of your knowledge in such detail and open heart. I also didn't knew I had curly hairs until the last lockdown wherein I grew my hair long enough to know that. With the passage of time they have grown to become very unmanageable and crazy. With the intention to bring them to a manageable state, I started looking out for some content on youtube and thank God I came across to one of your videos.
I don't think any other youtuber has covered the CGM with such grace, beauty and chronology as done by you. I wish we could give more than one like on youtube:)
I have been watching your videos since two days and cannot get enough. I think I would be the first one to complete your playlist so fast. Please consider boys also in your addressment, after all we are also your fans. Lastly, loved watching your journey. Please keep doing the good work, thanks a lot.
Wow Danish. Thank you for leaving me such an incredibly thoughtful comment. I really appreciate the time and thought you put into it.
I am so guilty of not being inclusive in my language. When I first started my channel, I had no idea who my audience would be. To be super honest, I didn't think I would have an audience in the first place. At best, I assumed there would only be a female demographic viewing the content. I realise how I wrong I was. I've started using the phrase curly hair people but I still slip up at times. 🤭
Feel free to keep me on my toes when I do.
@@MichelleManuel
Hi Michelle thank you for taking out your time, responding to my request and considering it and making us feel so special. I am starting out my journey to start giving some attention to my hair. I had one doubt though I have a little oily scalp with super dry hair 2c/3a type hair.
I wash my scalp thoroughly daily not necessarily with shampoo but in CGM routine there are lot of products that we would be using once a week. I wanted to ask from day 2nd how can we go about washing our hair with just water. I mean all the products applied will get lost in the process or maybe get accumulated on the scalp and If I do not wash my oily scalp there would be irritating sensation throughout the week.
Also, what would be the best medium to ask our doubts with you. I assure I'll not trouble you much:)
@@danishsayeed3150 hi. It's best to communicate on youtube comments. I don't really do one on one sessions because I'm short on time. I prefer replying here cause that way everything reading can benefit from the exchange.
So washing your hair everyday is not a great idea. It causes hygral fatigue. This damages the hair. If done over a long period of time can cause irreversible damage to the hair shaft.
Try to extend your washday as much as possible. Try to go 3 days between washing your hair. Slowly increase it to 5. This might seem super overwhelming at first and you might hate it. But try it for a bit. Your scalp will adjust.
In between if you must wash your hair, use a conditioner or a cowash.
Don't use a shampoo.
Stop washing with plain water please.
For an oily scalp, try to dry scalp massage everyday for 7 minutes. You'll be stimulating new hair growth and you'll also see a reduction in the oil accumulation on the scalp. It will have an immediate effect.
I have a video on the topic if you want to see a demonstration.
Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. Most often you'll find a video addressing the exact concern in detail. (For your first question, you could check out my video called how to start cgm in India). Either way, I'm happy to reply. So please don't hesitate.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you. Shall implement all the suggestions. Of course, no water on the head while bathing would be a very new thing but I'll definitely give it a try and wait for some time for the results to show up. Thank you for sparing out time from your busy schedule and helping us out.
@@danishsayeed3150 so basically imagine your scalp is super dehydrated because youre washing your hair every single day, it's going to feel stripped. The scalp will start producing more oil to prevent trans-epidermal water loss. The scalp is basically trying it's best to reduce losing moisture by producing a coating of oil in the form of sebum. Think of it like a defence mechanism.
The moment you stop washing your hair every single day, your scalp will slowly adjust and not produce so much oil. Which is why I said give it some time and dry scalp massage.
It's going to take a bit but your scalp will be happier in the long run.
Okay hope this helps.
I didn't know my hair was curly 😁
Super interesting video and loved your journey! Your hair looks super amazing now and you will definitely grow out the damaged hair someday with little trims at a time ❤️❤️
Hey Archana!!! I remember talking to you about my migraines when I started. Im sure you remember our conversation about how I'm going to straighten my hair whenever I want and not take it too seriously. Cut to one year later and me being super dedicated to my journey!!!!!!
Not worried about the hair damage at all because I know I am taking steps to do right by my hair finally and its paying off!!!! :) :)
I couldn’t help but smile as I watched this. I definitely identify with this felt like u were talking to me 😉I love watching ur journey! Ty sister kitten!
*I would be so embarrassed too! Boyfriends friend oh no not a stellar moment!
Funnily this guy is one of my best judys now. He even helped me pick out my wedding dressl!! 😂😂😂😂
I taught my hair is same as your hair previously, in future I’ll trying cgm method because it’s really good
Good to hear it! ❤️
Now they have improved allot, and it doesn't look like damaged ....I love your hair specially the length😍
No babe it's the same hair. You can't improve or repair damage but you definitely can change the appearance of your hair.
You are the only cgm influencer I trust.
Thank you so much Nivedita!!!! I always try to be super autenthic & really appreciate when that comes across.
(Btws the word influencer is damn creepy hehe) 😂
@@MichelleManuel ☺️☺️
Feel like just go on n on listen to you.... Just get so much positive vibes from you n wishing my hair also get better like yours 😇
It will. 💯 Percent! You just have to keep experimenting with your styling techniques and routine.
I had no idea there was so much that goes into maintaining this hair or anything called CGM. I have the exact same hair as yours and it always ends up becoming a frizzball, so I cut it very short. Now that it's a lockdown and grown out its becoming so frustrating to manage it again. Thanks to you I have found a solution to this. Thank you so so much. 💓
I'm really glad you found this video! It's a lot but it's worth it! Feel free to go through my playlist for beginners to cgm. You'll find lots of information on how to start and go about maintaining your curls. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel Yes definitely, thank you so much💕
Funnily, I realised my hair was curly when I went through a long phase of depression after my dad's passing. I was a funky hair colour girl before ...not shampooing regularly (not recommended!), no colouring, no styling for a year made my curls pop out.
I discovered your channel a week ago and man I'm obsessed! I have just started this journey two days ago... Thanks to you and I really hope I can be somewhere close in few years. ♥️
I'm sure you'll get there sooner. Give it 4 months and keep experimenting.
Also I appreciate you watching my content. Thank you! ❤️
Amazing video @michelle... this was so helpful :) and motivating :)
I'm so happy it helped! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Michelle ur videos are so accurate and helpful u give honest reviews …I don’t have to explore a tons of videos while following CGM ur page has all of it abd I just started CGM and I am not getting the results as expected so can u suggest the shampoo …conditioner…a leave in and a mousse or gel which suits best to low porosity hair ??
Another good video, Loved it:)
Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you Michelle for inspiring me. I started following your videos recently. It inspired me to start the CGM. Though I understand it is quite late.. I am in my mid fifties and already lost hairs on crowns. I don't know whether I will have results or not... Let me try this CGM.
It's never too late to start embracing your natural hair Please go for it!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For everyone with damaged hair give olaplex no 3 a try
Hey, just wanted to share my story.
I am the only girl in my childhood who had wavy/curly hair. So everyone use to say it's very difficult to style her hair and everytime i went to hair dresser for cut she always used to no use of doing any cut in your hair it will not be visible. My mom used to oil my hair every day and i used to have plates daily. I started hating my hair whenever i have to go somewhere i used to cry as my mom didn't allowed me to do any chemical treatment on my hair or to straight them.
Even i never had long hair. I used to apply eggs, heena, curd every possible diy on my hair for 6 months they improved my hair quality a lot, my hair are long too now but still i faced tangled hair and volume less hair. Then i realized now i need to understand what is the problem and i don't know how but youtube recommend me your video and when i saw your hair i was like wow, if this is a result i need to give it a try. But i don't know what happen i started feeling i will take good care of my hair but i will not do anything that make it more curly and wavy as my friends curly hair doesn't look good and blah blah..If you remember i asked you many times what can i do to take care of my hair so they don't get curly. But 2 months back i decided finally i will give it a try. So i ordered plum products . I still face tangled hair issue and get fly aways a lot but i feel light and a kind of softness in my hair.
To be motivated i started using shampoo and conditioner first with pre poo. Nothing else.
Now i am using shampoo, conditioner and dc.
It's quite difficult as i never used any thing other than shampoo on my hair. I am a firm believer of using complete natural products, so it's difficult but giving it a try.
Now, learning a lot but i watch your videos only i can relate with you. So watching your video in night has become a part of my routine.
You are really helping a lot. Your work and effort is just super amazing.
Hope it might be useful for someone.
Wow Pratima, thank you so much for sharing. I know this comment will help a lot of girls realise that they are not alone in these struggles.
It's easy to go down the "curly hair is ugly' route.
Im hoping we are able to break this mentality. Textured hair can be gorgeous if taken care of!
I'm really happy you're here Pratima! Thanks for watching! And thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel 😘😆
Can you pliss tell us about hair color. Is this your natural color? You look amazing. My hair is curly and I want to start the CGM I'm a mom I have 2 kids and a job! It's very challenging but after this video I will go for it.
A lot of love for you!
FIRST YESSSSS!!!
❤️
Sometimes harsh embarassement gives us great motivation. You should visit the hairdresser again . She will be asking you, from where did you do your hair.
Absolutely, thank goodness for the embarrassment! I wouldn't have realised without it. It never even occured to me that I was frying my hair in the first place. I think I was too close to the problem to even see it.
@@MichelleManuel That's way too much.😯
@@greeshmaghosh1841 I've had some pretty bad experiences I can laugh at now.
Putting up the months like that was very moving. Seems there was a huge jump in btwn month 1-2. And also from month 3 to 4. That was extra inspiring. I always go back to flat iron once and awhile bc I just haven’t seen big enough results trying to go curly. I just can’t master the clumping and frizz. With that said I am taking better care of my hair. Before last month I never even watched 1 video about hair care. I used Pantene pro v for the last 15 years. But thanks to u I know that my hair was dry and needed protein. My hair is highly porous and a load of other terms like humectants and curl patterns, plopping... I could go on. I might not be Indian or live in India but I find ur tips to be helpful. U r very informative. Talented and extremely personable. Ur good to me so u have my attention and loyalty.
It's a difficult thing to stop straightening altogether. I think you're only one amazing wash day away from flipping the switch!
Clumping is no simple feat. Girls on youtube make it look so simple because they have years on them.
That being said, clumping is about 2 things really (especially for high porosity girls),
1. having just enough water in your hair (to be able to hear that squishy sound) If you use too much water you won't get a cast and if you use too little gel you won't get a cast.
2. not being afraid to use a ton of gel/mousse so that the clump stays intact while drying and gives you a robust cast. This will stop frizz and your baby hair perking up as well.
One day you'll strike the right balance. Excited for that to happen.
In the meantime, check out Taylor Laios and India Batson. They don't wear their hair curly all the time either. It's totally ok to modify! ❤️❤️❤️
@Michelle Manuel ty! I will try this again. And I will check out that channel. As always ty my sister from another mister! ❤️
@@usmc72409 sister from another mister, tehehe I love that! ❤️❤️❤️
Heyy I really love your videos... Can you give an idea of the products you started with
Hi ! Your hair is very pretty.
Thank you Pooja!
Hey, I just started doing CGM. In fact did my first wash using the products last week. Do you have any tips and tricks that I should know of? Im in trasition too. The mess up is that I had smoothened my hair several times in the past and got disgusted and had to chop the damage off. Now, at this moment, the front part of my hair is smoothened and the back is all natural and I don't really know what to do with them. I came across CGM recently and thought this is definitely worth a shot. It's unbelievable to see soo many people going through the same thing.
I think the 2000s are to blame for the state of our hair. We were all so fast to jump on the straight hair trend.
But I'm glad we're keen to embrace our natural hair after so much abuse.
Better late than never right? 😂
About tricks. I have lots of tutorials on techniques. Please have a look at my playlists. So much for you to watch if you're interested! ❤️
My day shall come again 😏
😂😂😂😂😂
😆😆
Hi Michelle..!! Even I was thinking y my hair is in between curly n straight. But I always love my hair.. I had just coloured my hair only once in my entire life n I had severe hair fall after that.. so I stopped.. I started cgm 4 months back, not religiously though. I wonder using these many products can damage my hair further. Can u advise?
Hey Janani! These products don't damage your hair. The whole point of cgm is to boycott ingredients that damage hair in the first place.
@@MichelleManuel thanks Michelle
O M G!!!! That's my hair 🤯🤯🤯
Super!!!!
Hi Michelle I'm a beginner to CGM i have virgin hair but it absolutely looks like ur hair when it is damaged I'm confused what should I do.. ps ily❤
I’m from Poland with super super fine low density high porosity wavy hair and live in Canada and so we don’t have our hair in common and I can’t get any of ur products but I really appreciate the way and how in depth u explain what and how to do steps. Only on month three and I have been bleaching my hair for 28 years lol soo I have a long way to go I think
Hi Kasia! Thanks for the compliment! Appreciate it! ❤️❤️ Hair is very resilient that way! I think your hair will bounce back. You'll see a significant improvement on month 6. So hang it there. It gets better with time! :)
@@MichelleManuel I’m trying lol I’m trying, and like u the harder it gets the more defiant I’m getting!
Thanks for this video i am having hair like you had.. i felt tht i have curly hair or wavy but was not sure how to manage them so even i had straightened my hair many times before.. also my mum has poker straight hair and my dad has curly hair which made me confused too about my hair type 😂 and also when i went to beaches i get wavy hair ,becoming fluffy and all
I will try your method of curly hair routine it was really nice to watch your video tnxx again
I share so many of these exact thoughts and experiences. Definitely try my hair routine. I think you'll be quite happy with the results
I also wanted to ask how do you tie your hair while sleeping without creating frizz
Here you go

Thank you for sharing ☺️ this
My pleasure! Check out part 2 if you haven't already
Love it, kind regards from Brazil 😍
Well Hello!!!!!!! This is so cool! ❤️❤️
Hey Michelle... loving your videos 😍😍😍😍 just wanted to start CGM ...but super confused with what products to start ...i can relate to your journey because my hair are also wavy and somewhat heat damaged .... so can you suggest the leave in conditioner ,mask and gels
What's your porosity? Medium? high?
@@MichelleManuel medium porosity
@@hemanijoshi6758 then go with the curl up leave in. (If you are not sensitive to fragrance). And if you can wait for a sale go with the just herbs Shirolepam hair mask. Other recomendations you'll find in my budget friendly cg products video. :)
@@MichelleManuel thank you so much ❤️❤️ just continue making more videos ... I was just looking for curly methods then I came across this channel ....and I definitely admire you now .... sending you lots of love and best wishes ❤️❤️
@@hemanijoshi6758 thank you so much Hemani!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sending you the best of luck on your curl journey!
Thanks to RUclips I came across your channel
Love from kolkata!❤️
Hey Mallika!!!! I'm also from Kolkata!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi I am Kamya and I found you super relatable but I am too scared to try cgm cause I love my hair being straight and currently they are in category of 2a and I think I won't be able to ace cgm like others I like my hair poker straight only
You don't have to try cgm if it's not for you. It's totally acceptable to have a preference. :)
Hey.. love your videos. The thing with me is... I always had straight hair. Literally. I have never coloured my hair. And have used heat styling tools for a mere five times in my life. But now they are so frizzy.. Damn! Nothing I do, no mask, no conditioning, nothing brings them back to my earlier straight look. I found a lot of videos where they say “its not frizzy r dry, its wavy/curly.” Haha. So I am a beginner at CGM. But the frizz man... Michelle.. What do I do for the frizz... HALP! 😅
So hair can change every decade. It's quite possible for your hair to have become wavy or curly now.
But frizz is something that takes time and patience. There are multiple causes of frizz. A lot of things you'll need to keep a check on to get it under control.
Wearing protective hairtstyles and bonnets while sleeping. Perfecting your styling routine, using enough gel, maintaining protein moisture balance. Using serum during the week.
Honestly there are no shortcuts. If it were that simple, transitions wouldn't be a thing. :)
Thank you Michelle! Yours is the only informative channel I have found that sort of eases the worries and helps me understand.. thank you for that and thank you for taking the time to respond. Really appreciate it. Huggles 🤗🤗
@@ausumnj thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. ❤️
I think I'll make a more detailed video on this topic!

I knew my hair had a little bit of texture but I so wanted it to be straight because "straight is beautiful" right? Last March I stumbled across the fb group called Indian Curl Pride. I would adore the ladies' hair there and gradually started wishing to have hair like that. I had stopped using sulphates and silicones but that was it. I didnt have the courage to let my hair dry as it is without manipulating it to be straight. Last October I had went to my Uncle's house and didnt have the means to straighten my hair (without heat) so I had to let it air dry and to my surprise my cousin sister started playing with my waves and said she wished she had those. That was my epiphany moment.
I had already known about the CG method, techniques and a little bit about the products so I went full on CG mode and stopped combing my hair dry as well.
I have never looked back since.
I tried straightening my hair heatlessly 2 3 times more but I love my curls more now. ❣💕
Thank you so much for sharing your story Seema!!! I'm so glad you've embraced your natural beauty! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel it wouldnt have been such a smooth sail without your product recommendations and detailed videos on Indian wavy curly haircare ❣ so thank you too🤗
@@seematiwari3332 awww!!!! Thank you sweetie! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel youre always welcome ❤💕
How do I find out if it is straight or curly or just wavey?
I have wavey hair too
Take some water and scrunch your hair. Or head over to my Instagram and follow the instruments under the pic titled, wavy hair start here
I can legit not believe that these hair u have r damaged, just a question your roots don't curl up and obvio ur roots r the good hair, so do u think u might actually get straight hair again like u had them in ur teen years coz they weren't damaged but not curly either?
Yup. It's severely damaged but using different techniques, I am able to completely change the appearance of my hair. By the way i've tried cgm on a friend who has straight her. The hair does not curl.
Regarding the point you made about the root: wavy hair doesn't always curl from the root anyway, it's totally normal.
Plus hair texture changes every decade. Hair texture also changes due to hormonal changes.
Whether it's straight or curly, it's natural and so I am embracing my hair the way it is!!! ❤️
Is essential oils helps in hair growth???
I don't think it's a good idea to be using essential oils on your scalp.
I have little wavy frizzy hairs.... And i haven't tried anything on it.... But 😅i also wanted my hairs to look good.... Some what like... I feel free to leave my hairs open.. But i can't... They just puff up like puffyball.......
Can u suggest anything for mine hair..
Maybe you could try using a serum or a light hair oil to help with your frizz... Have a look at my video on log.
And for wavy... Should i try this method....? Look i know i m asking very weird things... But still i wanna know...... Should i go for this method ir nit
@Shweta Kothari for sure. I have a full playlist called cgm for beginners that I would recommend watching before you begin. Should clear all your doubts
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Everyone needs to be embarrassed to realise I think.. I empathise with you! 🥺🙄
Some are mindful and understand how to do things in moderation, for the rest.... Public embarrassment does the trick! 😂😂😂
@@MichelleManuel 😂
Hi is there anywhere I cam send you my photo...I wanna send you my hair without anything as it dies and ask you whether you think its wavy or straight...I am from sri lanka...and I have no clue
You'll find my email in the description. Feel free to send me pics! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel thank you....you are the best
Even I didn't know my hair was wavy, I always thought that because I live in humid area, my hair was frizz. Now I started my cgm.. and I'm not gonna straighten my ever again.
Also it's been a month since I started cgm, and I started having hairfall now, am I doing it wrong?, or wrong products? I don't know, they all are cgm approved products,and I'm not applying anything to the scalp but still having hairfall from a month, what should I do? Should I be worried?
Ps: plz check ur dm in insta, I have been messaging u for a while😊
Hey Meghana! I haven't received any msgs on instagram.
I have 2 videos on hairfall. Maybe it could help you out. I also have a section in my description relating to possible allergens that may cause allergic reactions in some people and may result in hairfall. Check the ingredient list of your products to make sure.
Hairfall is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. Hairfall is also something that I can absolutely share my research & thoughts on, but it's best if you seek medical intervention as it is a medical concern and not a cosmetic one. I think it would be best if you went to an endocrinologist and got some tests done. Please please don't ignore this.

This is a list of the allergens most commonly present in shampoos:
Fragrance, cocamidopropyl betaine, methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone, formaldehyde releasers, propylene glycol, vitamin E, parabens, benzophenones, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, and methyldibromoglutaronitrile/phenoxyethanol.
Thank you so much Michelle.
I'll definitely consult a doctor if this continues after one more wash.
And I did dm u in instagram.
Must have pushed into some spam msgs
Please check if my messages are in message requests or something.
But just want to appreciate how much effort u put into helping others and being honest throughout the journey. U really inspire me. Seeing your video's, I feel like some friend is talking to me😊, u are that modest.
Keep going ✌️
@@meghanaimandi5833 thank you so much Meghana!!! I don't know what's happening honestly. I've noticed recently that I get some super sweet comments on my youtube studio. I get the notification, when I go to reply, the comment is gone. This is happening more and more. Maybe something similar happened on instagram? Or maybe I read your msg half in sleep and nodded off. Quite possible knowing me.
I always want this channel to be super informal and casual, exactly like two friends chatting (one totally dominating the conversation lol)
On a serious note, hairfall is very serious and once you've ruled out allergic reactions, it will be very important to contact a doctor and run some tests.
Ok, hopefully things work out!!!
Sure Michelle.. I'm just stressing about instagram dm so much becoz I got soo much excited when I tried cgm for the first time . So I kept some before and after pictures of my hair. Just wanted to show u those becoz I learnt it from u 😉. Coz most of my friends be like , what's the big deal with curly hair, they don't know the effort behind it . Although I know they are not perfect curls, but I'm happy coz they look better than before ..
too early this time!!!!
Lol!!! ❤️
What a mean hairdresser, she could have say it more tactfully.
But if she said it tactfully would it have hit me hard enough to realise??

Oh hey there!
