I have stopped straightening my hair, to make it look manageable , after I accidentally came across your video, and I started my CGM journey. Love the quality of content and honesty of opinion. I have shown your methods of shampooing to my mother. Hopefully she finds her curly hair love.
It just struck me out of no where that when I take headbath my hair is curly and when i comb after drying no matter what conditioning i do it always becomes frizzy (I never even use a straightner) . I just casually googled yesterday why it happens and then I realised i have type 2C wavy/curly hair. I love curly hair and from yesterday i was hooked on your videos. I am going to give this a try and let you know how it worked for me. Thank you so much for your detailed videos. I am like WTF I can have curly hair ... 😍😳😍😳😍
Oh man! This is so amazing! I can't imagine how you left when you had your aha moment! Your curly journey awaits you queen! It's time to take your thrown! 👑
I have seen the first women on internet that has exactly same hair as mine. I also appreciate that you use and recommend very budget friendly products that are so helping me to start my CGM journey. and i really love you and your hair 😍❤💕
Discovered ur channel through Rubina's recommendation. Love ur CG content. I started following the cg method just 2 yrs bac. Used to hate my frizzy hair until I found out they r actually curly. Have 2b2c curls.Budget was always an issue 🤑😝as other CG products tend to be on the pricier side. Had d enliven gel on my wishlist for a year but was not sure how it wud work. But now it's in my cart. THANKS 2 U. Love how graceful u are😍
Hello Vidya. It's nice to have you here. There are so many brands that are catering to us textured girls these days. You'll many so many budget options.
Wish i had found you sooner..i soo agree with you..Indian cg friendly brnads have boomed after cruls came into trend but they are not inexpensive!!! If one tally between foreign brand and indian brand you can see Indie brands charge us much more..
Exactly. Sometimes I feel like brands are merely jumping on the trend without giving us what we actually need. When I read through brand posts on porosity or even knowledge on protein moisture balance, it shocks me to think that there is so little real understanding of curly hair. :(
@@MichelleManuel absolutely true...so far i have learned that due to my lack of proper knowledge regarding ingredients indie brands are able to sell products that most of the times doesn’t cater to my spefic needs.Thankfully content creators alike you opting to talk about all the pros and cobs helps many of us curlies/wavies about the things we need to teach us about regarding our individual specific needs. More power, wisdom and followers to you..❤️
Love the video... So true about content creation and its authenticity. WOW shampoo is definitely my go-to shampoo aswell. I love there conditioner too - affordable and awesome! 😁 Awesome results with the new leavin - so thrilled to see a female owned business doing so well. 🎉
@@MichelleManuel yes.. The charcoal one. I have also used their coconut shampoo but that even more moisturising than the charcoal. So I use it when my scalp is excessively dry.
Back to your channel after quite some time & I feel I have missed out on some many useful informations....but I am on CGM journey throughout this time with all the knowledge I had...your hair looks amazing ❤️ thankful beyond words
Hey Michelle! Can we get a review of the Dabur Vatika Select range of shampoos? It does contain sodium lauroyl sarcocinate, but no parabens Or silicones... Would really appreciate it if u make a vid😊
As of now I am not able to buy anything new. If you want a detailed review on a product, feel free to reach out to the brands and ask them to send me the relevant product. I'd be happy to research it and create content on it.
Cantu is not cruelty free and so I will not buy from them. I have a video on just herbs. Have a look. Most organic brands don't reveal full ingredient lists so they can't be considered cg friendly.
Can you please tell me if I can use love beauty and planet Lavender shampoo on my 2b/c low porosity hair? What clarifying shampoo would you recommend??
The north wish products look delightful! Waiting for your detailed review on it. I tried making DIY Flaxseed gel (I bought 250gm for ₹17 from a local grocery store), but it does not hold my hair. I tried using too little, too much but no. Any idea where I might be going wrong?
Yup. I've been trying/meaning to explain this point for a while now. If you're staying home, sometimes you want that light hold so that you are free to experiment with different hairstyles during other days of the week. If your curls are super defined and confined to their curl clump, it gets tangled and matted and somewhat dreadlock-esque. It becomes very difficult to section/part/manipulate into different styles.
Thanks for your review. I hated requeil murumuru butter conditioner. I have 4A high porosity hair and it did nothing for me. It did not help detangle. And it did not condition my hair. So perhaps it would work from 2 b to 3b ? I dont know but it did nothing for me instead the enliven coconut and vanilla one worked so very well.
Thanks for sharing. I've used both and I preferred the requil conditioner. Hair care is super subjective. I'm sure people will 4a hair will find your experience very helpful.
Howcome I can decide that what I need moisture DC or protien DC? My hairs are very dry, low porosity,firzzy, 2 A type Just started following ur suggestion for 1st time this week
Hey Michelle, I m gonna just begin my CG journey. I have wavy hair naturally. As soon as I m out of shower and my hair is wet, my hair looks nice. But when It becomes dry, it will be completely dry and like a bush if I comb my hair. As soon as I comb all the waves will disappear. What I see for CG is you do not comb when styling. Volume is not a concern but absolutely no moisture and looks very unhealthy. I think I have high porosity as any product I use only that day I see results. I use a dandruff shampoo prescribed by my dermatologist and I also use just herbs Kumuda conditioner. I have earth rhythm butter. Planning to start with deep conditioning. What leave in and gel do you recommend?
Hey. Maybe watch my wavy hair routine. You can comb style your hair if needed. Praying hand and scrunching is not the only styling technique. Watch my hair journey videos you'll see that my hair also looked like a bush. It tends to change with time and patience. The kumuda is a protein conditioner. Do not use it every single wash day. (Watch my protein moisture balance video to understand why) For leave in and gel I have multiple review videos that will help you choose. I don't flat out recommend products. You'll have to watch some videos and then choose based on your need for moisture and hold. Hope this was helpful
Hi, I'm new to your channel and since I've just started CGM, your videos are very informative. 😃👍🏼 After watching this video I can't wait to see the Northwish naturals product review 😍❤️ Your curls have beautiful shine and definition!!
Thank you so much for the recommendations. I have a question. Can you please tell me about Tresemme pro protect sulfate free shampoo? It did show ch friendly on some websites but warned about humectants present in it
Hello ma'am, Thanx alot for your kind review it is quite helpful, As I'm a beginner in cg journey, Could you please help me with the best aloevera gel i can use for my hair.
Hey, i had a question. I am new to CG and have been looking for leave-in conditioners. i noticed that u recommended the same leave-in in most videos with a discount code as well. Is it because it is a sponsored product? or is it unsponsored but u just like it alot?
Hi Sara! Thanks for bringing this up. I mentioned the leave in conditioner because it's the only full size leave in conditioner below Rs 500 available in India. Till date none of my videos have been sponsored. I would still please request you to disregard this video and find one that you vibe with better. If not, go through my channel, you'll find that I've featured many leave in conditioners repeatedly in multiple videos.
Hi Michelle... what's the difference between moisture and protein product? And do we have to use both...how would I know which one to use...and thank you for making such clear Vedios...only because of you I'm starting my CGM journey
What an amazing video..can u please tell me what clarifying hair clenser I can use ...I'm just about to begin my CG journey ...I need to get rid of all the built up chemicals on my hair ..and I have colored hair
I have a video on clarifying shampoos. Please have a look. Or you can have a look under the clarifying section on my storefront www.amazon.in/shop/michellemanuel
Hey Michelle I recently found out that I have 2a wavy hair so should I follow the same routine for my hair ?? It would be very helpful if you ans my question and also thank you so much for sharing all these informations with us ❤️
Yes please. You can use exactly the same routine. If you're looking for more defined clumps and longer lasting curls, use a hard hold gel. And if you want less definition and softer curls try a soft to medium hold gel.
Well explained 🤩... Pls do vdo on products for coarse colored bleached hair ( coloring since a v longggg tym).. .. How to make them silky n shiny.. Stay Blessed Stay Happy 🥰🤗😘🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
Hi Shailyy. So basically hair that is extremely colour damaged is usually high porosity hair. When we talk about coarseness, that's how thick each hair strand is. I have medium coarse hair too. You could try to follow a styling routine to start with. Try to deep condition often. ❤️ Within a couple of months you will see beautiful definition and gloss.
Thnx a ton Michelle for the revert.. Cud u suggest sm easy way to deep condition at home n evn sm affordable products ( my hair is kinda wavy).. Pls do share your take on olaplex range (if not all then 1 n 3)
@@shailyy3202 I've done a detailed video on how to deep condition and the various dc masks available in India. I've also done a video on products for high porosity hair. You'll find some options there. Budget masks are hard to come by. Haven't been impressed with the ones I've tried so far. I haven't used olaplex yet. It's a bit expensive for me right now. But yes 1 & 3 are great options for high porosity hair.
Ur video was really good and simple to understand. Can u suggest good products for 3A curly cg products for a me whose a cg beginner and m also confused with my hair porosity and density ???
I will have a video on deep conditioning which will help you. Leaving it linked below. I am also releasing a video on how to pick a leave in conditioner. Hang on for a bit. I'll be making videos on how to pick a shampoo, conditioner, gel etc.
Hi Michelle, I absolutely love your videos. There is so much to take in💖 I want to start my cgm journey and I have thin hair. I don't know which products to use. Every product has mixed reviews and I don't want to damage my hair anymore. Please suggest some tips. I really need some guidance with my hair.
Thanks so much Shubhanshree. Unfortunately this is very possible. Products work very differently on different hair. I can only speak from experience & share the products that worked for me. Would it be possible to watch some reviews done by girls who have similar hair to yours? Maybe you would find that more insightful. ❤️👍❤️
@@MichelleManuel I have seen a lot of videos and reviews. I just need a kick start. Out of all the products, WOW seemed a little affordable. I've seen you talking a lot about the WOW shampoo n conditioner. Is it really good? I have 2b fine, high to medium(maybe) porosity hair. Btw you are absolutely adorable💖

When I started my cg journey, I used wow products because of their price point. Everything else out there was pretty expensive in comparison. I used them solely for 9 months. What do you think about my results? Have a look at my older videos and see if you like the results. If you like the results and feel like they resonate with you, go for it. With curly hair what you see is what you get. ❤️ Anyway, if you watched the full video you'll see what I have given you many options in each product category so you definitely have more options out there of the same price range. If you're not comfortable with the brand, don't use their products, use the other brands I've mentioned in the video.
It's more of a clarifying shampoo. I wouldn't suggest using it on a daily basis. I have a dedicated video on shampoos. Please select another for regular use.
Hi...i saw your video and found it very helpful❤ and it would be great if you help me out selecting good hair products for my wavy and frizzy hair with oily scalp...I am gonna try cgm for the first time so could you please suggest budget friendly products since I usually wash my hair on alternate days and it would be really helpful if you could give me some suggestions regarding that also. Thank you!
If you're starting cgm please check out my playlist on beginners. I also have a video on how to start cgm in India. Might help. If you look at my playlists you'll also find a full playlist on cg products India. There should be enough info there you for to make an inform decision based on your particular needs. I can't recommend flat out because haircare is super subjective.
I have coloured hair. Infact I touch up my roots very month. Haven't seen the shampoo and conditioner dampen my colour intensity at all. Their product line is really nice! :)
I mentioned budget gels without alcohol in the video. Wouldn't categorise the fmc price point as budget friendly. I have reviews on their leave in conditioners
@@MichelleManuel actually I have recently purchased leave in conditioner and gel from FMC I did see your reviews on it so I will do comment my review on your video once I start using it !! Thanks for your content it makes a lot of sense
Hey is Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner CG friendly? They also doesn't have parabens and sulfates. I used the shampoo and conditioner and I kinda like it, but then I didn't know till last week that I have 2A type hair.
Hi mam... Mam I hv been following u from last 15 days or so... I want to ask something that if our hairs were naturally curvy nd wavy then why we hv to style them after every wash...which habit of ours had ruined our hair natural texture.. or can we get our hair texture back I mean does the time cm that we don't need to style..
Ok so waves and curls need to be defined to look structured. Without a curl clump your hair won't know to form. It's advisable to watch and style once a week. You don't have to do a complicated routine. Just take and scrunch. It will not only define your hair and nourish it but also protect from damage.
My hair is wavy and from some months I'm suffering from hairfall problem and my hairs got thickened a lot ..and lots it volume .. my curls almost got straight now .. so nowadays I use lots of oil ig for that I'll use re'equil shampoo .. but after using shampoo it becomes fizzy and rough .. and I'm not sure about conditioner.. and I want to use leave in conditioner or curl cream and curl gel .. but I'm kind of not sure bz it may weight my hairs.. heavy .. as my hairs r really thin now .... I'm really confused .. I use hair mask and oil most of the time but while going out I need my hairs to look a little good .. 🙂
Ok, please have a look at one of my wavy hair routine videos + my hairfall video. If you have a clogged scalp, you may experience more than usual hairfall. If you're using the requil shampoo, it has olefin sulphonate which is typically very stripping in nature. I usually use it for clarifying purposes. Please get a conditioner and a leave in conditioner and try to follow one of my routines. You'll see results if you experiment a bit with different styling routine and see what suits you best. If you have thin hair check out my upside down styling video
@@MichelleManuel I'm not using requil shampoo .. rn I'm using sebamed .. as I'm oiling my hairs a lot nowadays .. so I have to wash my hairs 3-4 times to completely get ride of the oil.. and sometimes the roots of my hairs hurts aswell.. and instead of conditionar or leave in I mix almond oil and water then apply it .. sometimes I even use goodvibes serum ..
Hey there, actually i have natural curly hair , but recently treated my hair with smoothening which is a big mistake and i haven’t got my curls back.. do you recommend any products or treatments that can bring my curls back?
Ohhhh..... I think there are a few types of straightening & smoothening methods. Is yours the permanent kind? If it is, you might have to wait for it to grow out. If it isn't, maybe bond salve & olaplex will help to a certain extent? Haven't tried these cause they're a bit too pricey for me rn. Anyway listen, it's hair! It grows back! If you need a little pick me up watch my hair journey video.
@@MichelleManuel sure i will thanx for the suggestion cz i read many articles on this topic so thats why wrote.....would be great if you can also enlighten your viewers on this topic....anyways love ur videos stay blessed✨
I'll definitely try to include this point in a video. I love Dr Dray. I find her to be the most reliable source when it comes to these things. I tend to do a whole lot of reading too and I've seen similar articles however, I take her word over anything else. Also since the video's premise is budget products, I couldn't mention higher end pure oil blends.
Helllo mam...me usally diy deep conditioning bhi karti hun..but my hair is very very dry....n mujhe koi achha sa deep conditioner cahyee...mujhe budget prob nhi h itna....agar aur koi top company hain deep conditioner ke liye to plz tell..boz i have no knowledge about it....jo mere balo me moisturizer laaye dryness khatam ho jaaye....plzzz telll mam.....n currently m using curly up products....kya curl up conditioner as deep conditioning bhi use kar sajte hain...like 45 mins?....n mujhe koi top brand ka achha sa deep conditioning bhi bata dijiye boz i see my hair as it is very dry....thanks

Hey Michelle can you please review on arata shampoo and conditioner for type 2a hair with medium porosity??? Is this product is cg friendly ...my hair is so frizzy and bouncy so I want to improve my hair style
I think the idea of the brand's messaging is, all their products are safe to use when while breast feeding. So in such, anyone could use their products.
Hair styles plz, I really need some back to work hairstyles bcoz I started cg in lockdown and no hairstyles I used to make earlier give me good results now. My hair type is similar to yours and braiding my hair kills the volume so the video before was not very helpful
I have 2b hair type and my scalp is oily,but hair is freezy. I use loreal extraordinary clay shampoo and conditioner. It works beautifully for my hair. I use the shampoo only on my roots.. I want to know if it's cg friendly, if not please tell me is it harmful to use for 2b hair
@@MichelleManuel thanks for the reply, I'll check em out Also, do you have a discord server? If not then I highly suggest making one if you've got the time to put into it. Coz discord is a really good way to interact with you subs if they join. Like they can ask questions and suggestion there too
@@MichelleManuel thank you for replying....❤️n there's no bad effect of gel. Right ? I mean I'm just starting with cgm...so a lil bit concerned as already I've made my hair a total mess by straightening often 🙂
@@aishwaryapatnaik2188 there is. If you use a gel with alcohol it will be drying on the hair. Use aloe or flaxseed gel instead. I have a video on the topic coming out soon
Hey Songita! Please don't do that. You'll find leave in conditioners that is way cheaper that the plum hair mask. You'd rather use a leave in as a mask, and not the other way around.
Hey! Ok so ask yourself what you're using your conditioner for? If it's only to detangle, consider detangling when you pre-poo using oil? If your shampoo cannot cut through the oil, then consider making a diy conditioner with essential oil+ butters + oils? Use an electronic whisk and whisk it all together like you would a souffle! You'll find diy conditioner recipes online. If not do you have a dc + leave in? Simply use your deep conditioning mask or your leave-in conditioner as regular conditioner. You could also try a diy hair mask. I have some on my ig highlights. Not sure how effective they are but you have nothing to lose right? Failing all of these, see whether shops near you are open and in the meantime get something that is in the gray area of being cg friendly: brands like khadi, biotique, lotus, ayush, anything thats available locally and claims to be ayurvedic.
Gosh!!! My search ends here with your lovely video. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable information. I have so much fizzy hair... No moisture at all....

Are you reducing it enough?
You know.... when you add cornflour to a curry, it gets gloopy and thick. Did that happen to the gel when you boiled it?
@@MichelleManuel its quite thick. Not as thick as enliven though. I will try reducing it more next time.
@@99simplyme ok so the hold won't be strong. It will be a level 2 at best.
@@MichelleManuel makes sense. But its good if you know you are going to stay home.
Yup. I've been trying/meaning to explain this point for a while now. If you're staying home, sometimes you want that light hold so that you are free to experiment with different hairstyles during other days of the week. If your curls are super defined and confined to their curl clump, it gets tangled and matted and somewhat dreadlock-esque. It becomes very difficult to section/part/manipulate into different styles.

I'm very very excited at the prospects as well!! ❤️
Hey michelle, your eyes look amazing, dj you use any lenses, if yes then please lemme know the shade 🥺
Hey Prerna, thank you so much. I don't wear lenses :)
Thank you so much for the recommendations. I have a question. Can you please tell me about Tresemme pro protect sulfate free shampoo? It did show ch friendly on some websites but warned about humectants present in it
I really haven't checked out the shampoo. Post the ingredient list here. I'll take a look
@@MichelleManuel thank you so much!!! Here's the ingredients list: Water, Sodium Methyl Cocyl Taurate, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Carbomer, Linalool, Argania Spinosa Oil, Mica Titanium Oxide, Glycerin, Sodium Benzoate, Benzil Salicyilate, Dimethiconal And Tridecth10, Polyquaternium 10, Disodium Edta10, Hexyl Cinnamal, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Stearamidopropyl, Glycol Distearate.
Dimethiconol is a type of silicone. So this is not cg friendly. :(
Loved this video😍
Thank you ❤️❤️
Omg your hair looks so pretty! 😍
Thank you!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello ma'am,
Thanx alot for your kind review it is quite helpful,
As I'm a beginner in cg journey, Could you please help me with the best aloevera gel i can use for my hair.
I haven't used too many. You can check amazon to find one.
Hey, i had a question. I am new to CG and have been looking for leave-in conditioners. i noticed that u recommended the same leave-in in most videos with a discount code as well. Is it because it is a sponsored product? or is it unsponsored but u just like it alot?
Hi Sara! Thanks for bringing this up.
I mentioned the leave in conditioner because it's the only full size leave in conditioner below Rs 500 available in India. Till date none of my videos have been sponsored. I would still please request you to disregard this video and find one that you vibe with better.
If not, go through my channel, you'll find that I've featured many leave in conditioners repeatedly in multiple videos.
loving your videos ❤️
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️
I do agree with you about enliven gels 😍
They're amaze! 😎😎
A must needed video😘
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Michelle... what's the difference between moisture and protein product? And do we have to use both...how would I know which one to use...and thank you for making such clear Vedios...only because of you I'm starting my CGM journey
I have a protein moisture playlist. Please have a look. It should help you understand things in detail.
Such a great video on budgets for girls to choose from:)
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Is st.botanica pro keratin and argan oil smooth therapy shampoo cg friendly??
Aaranya deep conditioner is good? This have protein or moisture?
Ok. I did a bit of digging. I see the Aaaranyaa hair pack on amazon. I don't see an ingredient list. Is this a cg approved product?
Can you add a curl cream to this video or suggest a budget friendly curl cream for 2b medium porosity hair?
Im in the process of trying out new products. As soon as I have some opinions I'll make an updated video.
What an amazing video..can u please tell me what clarifying hair clenser I can use ...I'm just about to begin my CG journey ...I need to get rid of all the built up chemicals on my hair ..and I have colored hair

Hoping you will reply. Your videos are amazingly filled with content. Loved listening to you.

Hey Michelle I recently found out that I have 2a wavy hair so should I follow the same routine for my hair ?? It would be very helpful if you ans my question and also thank you so much for sharing all these informations with us ❤️
Yes please. You can use exactly the same routine. If you're looking for more defined clumps and longer lasting curls, use a hard hold gel. And if you want less definition and softer curls try a soft to medium hold gel.
@@MichelleManuel okay and thank you so much
Well explained 🤩... Pls do vdo on products for coarse colored bleached hair ( coloring since a v longggg tym).. .. How to make them silky n shiny..
Stay Blessed Stay Happy 🥰🤗😘🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
Hi Shailyy. So basically hair that is extremely colour damaged is usually high porosity hair.
When we talk about coarseness, that's how thick each hair strand is. I have medium coarse hair too. You could try to follow a styling routine to start with. Try to deep condition often. ❤️ Within a couple of months you will see beautiful definition and gloss.
Thnx a ton Michelle for the revert.. Cud u suggest sm easy way to deep condition at home n evn sm affordable products ( my hair is kinda wavy)..
Pls do share your take on olaplex range (if not all then 1 n 3)
Stay Blessed Stay Happy 🥰🤗😘🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
@@shailyy3202 I've done a detailed video on how to deep condition and the various dc masks available in India. I've also done a video on products for high porosity hair. You'll find some options there. Budget masks are hard to come by. Haven't been impressed with the ones I've tried so far.
I haven't used olaplex yet. It's a bit expensive for me right now. But yes 1 & 3 are great options for high porosity hair.
Thnx Michelle 🤩... I did watch ur dc vdo n vl try to fynd out abt high porosity products' one as well..
Stay Blessed Stay Happy 😘🤗🥰🦄🌈🧿🧚♀️
Ur video was really good and simple to understand. Can u suggest good products for 3A curly cg products for a me whose a cg beginner and m also confused with my hair porosity and density ???
I will have a video on deep conditioning which will help you. Leaving it linked below. I am also releasing a video on how to pick a leave in conditioner. Hang on for a bit. I'll be making videos on how to pick a shampoo, conditioner, gel etc.
Hi Michelle, I absolutely love your videos. There is so much to take in💖
I want to start my cgm journey and I have thin hair. I don't know which products to use. Every product has mixed reviews and I don't want to damage my hair anymore. Please suggest some tips. I really need some guidance with my hair.
Thanks so much Shubhanshree. Unfortunately this is very possible. Products work very differently on different hair. I can only speak from experience & share the products that worked for me. Would it be possible to watch some reviews done by girls who have similar hair to yours? Maybe you would find that more insightful. ❤️👍❤️
@@MichelleManuel
I have seen a lot of videos and reviews. I just need a kick start. Out of all the products, WOW seemed a little affordable. I've seen you talking a lot about the WOW shampoo n conditioner. Is it really good? I have 2b fine, high to medium(maybe) porosity hair. Btw you are absolutely adorable💖

When I started my cg journey, I used wow products because of their price point. Everything else out there was pretty expensive in comparison. I used them solely for 9 months. What do you think about my results? Have a look at my older videos and see if you like the results. If you like the results and feel like they resonate with you, go for it. With curly hair what you see is what you get. ❤️
Anyway, if you watched the full video you'll see what I have given you many options in each product category so you definitely have more options out there of the same price range. If you're not comfortable with the brand, don't use their products, use the other brands I've mentioned in the video.
I did not mention their conditioner in this video. I mentioned the requil conditioner. It has far better slip.
Hey Michelle
I had a doubt
Is mamaearth onion shampoo CG friendly?
I haven't used anything form the brand but yes I think they're cg friendly.
You can check their ingredients out on websites such as isitcg or curlsbot
Thank you sm:))
Can we use requil anti dandruff shampoo on daily basis...I'm having oily scalp nd dry , frizzy ends??
It's more of a clarifying shampoo. I wouldn't suggest using it on a daily basis. I have a dedicated video on shampoos. Please select another for regular use.
Khadi natural's protein hair cream is also a good option for protein hair Mask
How I wish they were cg friendly. We dont have the full ingredient list so we can say for sure. Khadi would come under the questionable cg section.
Can you please make a video on your hair color. Like how do you color your hair and what color do u use?
I've listed the hair colours I use on my amazon storefront. Please have a look.
I just do a root touch up once a month. Thats all.
Hey michelle can u pls review on ebibliss shampoo and conditioner
Hi...i saw your video and found it very helpful❤ and it would be great if you help me out selecting good hair products for my wavy and frizzy hair with oily scalp...I am gonna try cgm for the first time so could you please suggest budget friendly products since I usually wash my hair on alternate days and it would be really helpful if you could give me some suggestions regarding that also.
Thank you!
If you're starting cgm please check out my playlist on beginners. I also have a video on how to start cgm in India. Might help. If you look at my playlists you'll also find a full playlist on cg products India. There should be enough info there you for to make an inform decision based on your particular needs. I can't recommend flat out because haircare is super subjective.
Hi
Is Reequil shampoo conditioner and masks are good for colored treated hair?
I have coloured hair. Infact I touch up my roots very month.
Haven't seen the shampoo and conditioner dampen my colour intensity at all. Their product line is really nice! :)
Gels without alcohol ? Any recommendations? More reviews about fix my curls please 😬😬
I mentioned budget gels without alcohol in the video. Wouldn't categorise the fmc price point as budget friendly. I have reviews on their leave in conditioners
@@MichelleManuel actually I have recently purchased leave in conditioner and gel from FMC I did see your reviews on it so I will do comment my review on your video once I start using it !! Thanks for your content it makes a lot of sense
Amazon description mentions enliven is ideal for men. Is it okay if girls use it?
I think that may be a branding/marketing claim. 😂 Any individual can use any product if they so choose.
Hey is Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner CG friendly? They also doesn't have parabens and sulfates. I used the shampoo and conditioner and I kinda like it, but then I didn't know till last week that I have 2A type hair.
Don't know. Send me the ingredient list please
Hi mam... Mam I hv been following u from last 15 days or so... I want to ask something that if our hairs were naturally curvy nd wavy then why we hv to style them after every wash...which habit of ours had ruined our hair natural texture.. or can we get our hair texture back I mean does the time cm that we don't need to style..
Ok so waves and curls need to be defined to look structured. Without a curl clump your hair won't know to form. It's advisable to watch and style once a week. You don't have to do a complicated routine. Just take and scrunch. It will not only define your hair and nourish it but also protect from damage.
Thankyou ma'am
My hair is wavy and from some months I'm suffering from hairfall problem and my hairs got thickened a lot ..and lots it volume .. my curls almost got straight now .. so nowadays I use lots of oil ig for that I'll use re'equil shampoo .. but after using shampoo it becomes fizzy and rough .. and I'm not sure about conditioner.. and I want to use leave in conditioner or curl cream and curl gel .. but I'm kind of not sure bz it may weight my hairs.. heavy .. as my hairs r really thin now .... I'm really confused .. I use hair mask and oil most of the time but while going out I need my hairs to look a little good .. 🙂
Ok, please have a look at one of my wavy hair routine videos + my hairfall video.
If you have a clogged scalp, you may experience more than usual hairfall.
If you're using the requil shampoo, it has olefin sulphonate which is typically very stripping in nature. I usually use it for clarifying purposes.
Please get a conditioner and a leave in conditioner and try to follow one of my routines. You'll see results if you experiment a bit with different styling routine and see what suits you best.
If you have thin hair check out my upside down styling video
@@MichelleManuel I'm not using requil shampoo .. rn I'm using sebamed .. as I'm oiling my hairs a lot nowadays .. so I have to wash my hairs 3-4 times to completely get ride of the oil.. and sometimes the roots of my hairs hurts aswell.. and instead of conditionar or leave in I mix almond oil and water then apply it .. sometimes I even use goodvibes serum ..
@@MichelleManuel sis.. can u please share me the link of those videos .. I'm not sure which one to watch ..

Heyy could you recommend any cgm friendly hairstyles I could use instead of gels?
Sorry I didnt understand this question.
@@MichelleManuel I'm soo sorry I meant hairsprays 🥲
Hey there,
actually i have natural curly hair , but recently treated my hair with smoothening which is a big mistake and i haven’t got my curls back.. do you recommend any products or treatments that can bring my curls back?
Ohhhh..... I think there are a few types of straightening & smoothening methods. Is yours the permanent kind?
If it is, you might have to wait for it to grow out.
If it isn't, maybe bond salve & olaplex will help to a certain extent?
Haven't tried these cause they're a bit too pricey for me rn.
Anyway listen, it's hair! It grows back! If you need a little pick me up watch my hair journey video.
Hey i love your vids.....but 1 thing to say oils might not have sulphates and silicones but they do have mineral oil which is not good at all
Please watch Dr Drays video on mineral oil and then tell me if you feel the same.
@@MichelleManuel sure i will thanx for the suggestion cz i read many articles on this topic so thats why wrote.....would be great if you can also enlighten your viewers on this topic....anyways love ur videos stay blessed✨
I'll definitely try to include this point in a video.
I love Dr Dray. I find her to be the most reliable source when it comes to these things.
I tend to do a whole lot of reading too and I've seen similar articles however, I take her word over anything else.
Also since the video's premise is budget products, I couldn't mention higher end pure oil blends.
@@MichelleManuel i understand.....keep up the good work ❤️

hey can I use Mom's Co products as a teenager ? or are those only for 'mom's' ?
I think the idea of the brand's messaging is, all their products are safe to use when while breast feeding. So in such, anyone could use their products.
Suggest shampoo and conditioner for thin curly hairs
I not sure if thin curly hair requires different products per say. Check out my video on humectants. It might help?
Hair styles plz, I really need some back to work hairstyles bcoz I started cg in lockdown and no hairstyles I used to make earlier give me good results now. My hair type is similar to yours and braiding my hair kills the volume so the video before was not very helpful
I have some hairstyle videos on my channel. Please have a look. I have Also have a new upload very Soon.

Hey Songita! Please don't do that. You'll find leave in conditioners that is way cheaper that the plum hair mask. You'd rather use a leave in as a mask, and not the other way around.

Please tell me all the name of the product which you use

I've shown my hair during the week in multiple videos. My log video my Denman video. My video on serums.
Hey Michelle! I have run out of conditioner and I can't even make a new purchase due to lockdown. Please help me 🥺
Hey! Ok so ask yourself what you're using your conditioner for? If it's only to detangle, consider detangling when you pre-poo using oil?
If your shampoo cannot cut through the oil, then consider making a diy conditioner with essential oil+ butters + oils? Use an electronic whisk and whisk it all together like you would a souffle! You'll find diy conditioner recipes online.
If not do you have a dc + leave in? Simply use your deep conditioning mask or your leave-in conditioner as regular conditioner.
You could also try a diy hair mask. I have some on my ig highlights. Not sure how effective they are but you have nothing to lose right?
Failing all of these, see whether shops near you are open and in the meantime get something that is in the gray area of being cg friendly: brands like khadi, biotique, lotus, ayush, anything thats available locally and claims to be ayurvedic.
@@MichelleManuel ig I'll go for DIYs then
