Hi Michelle! Great video! Just one small doubt. These oils won't weigh down our hair right? Cause most of the serums available in market are meant for straightened hair to give that sleek look. I've been using biolage serum for many years. Since i started my CGM, when i use that serum to get some shine it just weighs down my hair. And also i have low density hair in general 😊
Awesome video, you are like a mind reader, we curlies and wavies come up with a question and ta-da Michelle is here to resue us! 😁❤ One question for you How often should I oil my hair?
That's very cute Shubhashree! Hope you find the video useful. Help me understand your question better... Are you asking about pre-pooing your hair with oil on your washday? Or using an oil as a serum for curly hair?
@@shubhashreemajumdar219 oh ok. Don't oil your scalp in between washdays please. Excessive oil can clog the scalp and cause hairfall. If you're using a drop or two on oil as serum on the lengths of your hair, you can do it as frequently as once a day. It shouldn't be a problem. Make sure it's super light and not heavy. Make sure it doesn't feel greasy on your hair.
@@MichelleManuel One thing is that i saw some different curl clumps more tighter clumps than rest of hair 😀. Especially at the front and woah i love those 😍😍
@@MichelleManuel brilliant!! they have been having 50% and BOGO alternative sales since Diwali... stocking up my favorites. With this order I got the hydrating moisture lock scalp complex with serum. Looks interesting and wanted to give it a shot. Thanks as always Michelle for your recos
@@MichelleManuel can't wait for you to review the product!! Would like to hear what method works the best..pre poo, during wash or as leave-in. It has hyaluronic acid so have to be wary of it during winters I think...but keen in hearing your expert views 🥰
Great Video 👍👍For Figuring Out Which Serum We Can Look For And How To Use Them , Also Your Day 4 hairs Gives A Quite Bit Of Motivation On What To Expect For Day 4 Curls 😄😄
@Michelle I've gone through almost all videos of yours for beginners and will have my fist CG wash tomorrow. Trust me I've made notes 🙈. Excited and nervous cz I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I have a question though, I ordered the Blue Enliven gel from your storefront but now I'm wondering if I should just try with normal aloe vera gel or use the blue gel in my first wash. I think my hair are low to medium porosity. Could you please help here?
That's amazing! ❤️❤️ Ok so here's the deal. The enliven gel has alcohol. The ONLY reason I use the enliven gel is because I cannot do without it. No other gel allows me to retain my definition for no long. I wash my hair once a week and so I need to preserve my curls and make sure the effort I put into a washday is not wasted. Which is better? Obviously an aloe vera gel is better than using something with alcohol. So my advice is this, try the aloe gel and only if you are not happy with the hold and feel like you need more, use the enliven gel. If you're washing your hair once every few days it shouldn't be a problem. Only if your hair needs extra hold and you don't mind the alcohol will you be ok with the enliven gel. If you want more clarification, I spoke about all the positives and negatives in my enliven vs curl up gel video. Also remember my first wash looked horrendous. It only gets better with time. So please jump in head long! It's going to be a journey. Sending you lots of encouragement!! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel I knew you'd reply. Thanks a ton 😍. Definitely not expecting my hair to look like yours in a day but trying to mentally prepare myself for the journey 🙈. Your explanation makes sense, will try with aloe gel for 1-2 times and then will see what my hair need. Thank you for your encouragement, I wouldn't be taking this step if it wasn't for your channel for sure. Will keep you posted. 😊
Hi Michelle. I bought the Earth rhythm serum after going through your and others' reviews. Though it does the job well, i just can't get past the strong castor oil smell that it gives off. I have to splash comparatively more amount of perfume on me just to get rid of the smell. Do you suggest i add on any safe essential oil into it to get rid if the smell of the otherwise wonderful product?
Tell me something. Does the smell stay? Doesn't it fade after you sotc? You can try to mask it with an oil. If you're using an essential oil, you'll need to dilute it or mix it with carrier oils or use a pre-blend
@@MichelleManuel i haven't had a chance to check the fading away coz both times i used it was in a hurry, so masked it with perfumes. Will get back to u wen i use it properly.....Thanks 🙂
Don't use a serum please. Use a conditioner with good slip. If you're asking about detangling while prepooing your hair, I'm not the best one to ask. It does not work for me at all.
hey Michelle i am absolutely in love with your curls....gossh they are soo prettyyyy. i hace a question?can we usethe Humdard Rogan badam oil(which is an almond oil )as a hair serum? have heard that it's chemical free
Hey Michelle, I had a doubt. Can I apply earth rhythm serum after washing my hairs? Or should i apply it on no wash days? And one more thing...Is there any need of applying any other leave in hair creams or oils...Or just the hair serum is fine? I hope you'll reply soon.

Amazing content as usual. I always look forward to new videos from you.❤️ I started using light weight oils as serum after I started cgm.

@@MichelleManuel : Yes. Both are silicone free. Be minimalist one is 100% olive squalane and Argan Oil from juicy chemistry is 100% cold pressed Argan oil only. They are quite light weight, won’t weigh hair down plus oily acne prone skin won’t have trouble using these oils. My oily skin is prone to breakouts too, hence I’m careful.

Hello maam I haven't yet started CGM, however i just want to give a try on it and all credit goes to you for your vedios only am gonna give it a try. So I was wondering what to use on my hairs,but still I don't know my curl type bit confused on it. So just wanted some advice regarding products under 500. Kindly help me regarding selecting the product. My hair type-Dry and frizzy My scal type- sometimes greasy and sometimes dry,and offcourse buildups. So help me out please.
Hey Pratiksha! Thanks for the kind words! I have a video that is called budget cg products available in India. I would suggest watching it or watch my video on wavy hair routine for beginners. I've given all my recommendations for beginners there.
My mother after seeing my hair become so beautifully curly has asked me how to do the same for her hairs...since she too has the same hair as mine. Thank you so much. I just wanted to ask you which conditioner shoul I use. The murumuru one or babasu?
See both the conditioners have the same ingredients. I'm guess the formulation is different. If you have low to medium porosity hair try the babbasu one and for high Porosity try the murmuru conditioner. However, they're very comparable. I don't see a huge difference in results.
Should we also apply product on the hair near the roots? I get a lot of frizz on the crown. the lengths do fine. As can be seen in your videos, you generally apply products on the lengths leaving the top part of hair near roots. please suggest
I like the keep my roots light. That way i get volume. When i apply product at the roots my hair doesn't have any volume at all. The only product i use at the roots would be mousse. I also have an oily scalp. My top lengths stay moisturised. Do your roots remain frizzy on day 2. I noticed that all my frizz is gone near the roots on the second day after wash.
I think watching your videos has given me a better insight. Thank you ❣️. Still not sure if I am doing things right 😅. I am using Re'equil hair control shampoo and Re'equil murumuru damage control conditioner. Which serum would be good for my routine? Is biolage smooth proof serum CG friendly?
@@MichelleManuel I purchased matrix serum before I found your channel :(. I have a full bottle lying in the cupboard 🥲 I am considering to buy grapeseed oil now :)
Finally 😍😍😍😍😍 thank you Michelle. Can I use khadi moroccan argon oil. Because amazon don't deliver in our place and the brand you mentioned is not available on Flipkart.
So cantu is not cruelty free so I haven't tried them ever. From what I hear they're heavy products and will suit higher porosity tighter curl patterns.
The video was really helpful for a beginner like me with high porosity hair! Just help me out that the earth rhythm serum can be used after applying leave in cond and gel as serum when hair is semi dry or what?
You can do leave in then serum then gel. No point using it after as it's best when applied mixed with water. Best to use it as a serum on non washdays. It will help to retain moisture
Ive been hunting for a cg-suitable serum for a bit now, so yayyyy to this vid! It's so sad for my hair that it starts losing its curl pattern in a day. I hope I can pick something from this video up!
@@MichelleManuel thank you for the tip! Do you think homemade flaxseed gel may be the best gel out there? Also, I get the flakes all over my hair once the gel is dry and it looks like dandruff in my black hair. Any tips, please? Pretty please! 🙏🏿
I've used flaxseed gel. It doesn't give me too much hold. It's good for people following cg strictly. Not my person fav. The flakes, you need to make sure there's no clumping or pilling while application. Diluting it in water and emulsifiying really helps. Application on super wet hair also helps with the flakes. Combing through does too
Should I use leave in conditioner before serum😊? And I don't know which leave in conditioner or curl cream to use before serum. I want to know the pattern of using serum and leave in conditioner or curl defining cream. Please 🙏 help me!
It's not necessary to use a leave in and a serum together on washday. It might just be too heavy for the hair. If there is an urgent need for extra moisturization then you could consider using a leave in conditioner, then a serum and then a gel/mousse. I have a playlist on cg products where I've detailed each product categories and how to choose amongst them. It might be helpful to check those videos out.
Can earth rhythm serum be used for SOTC...As you have mentioned this serum works best with water or on damp hair...To what extent would working with water for SOTC do?!
With serums not at all. You shouldnt be losing hair. If you're doing a full refresh and attempting to detangle then yes. You'll have hairfall. Whatever's stuck in the clump and already fallen will come out.
How do you make your curls last so long even without refreshing. I have the same hair type like yours but my curls only last until day 2 without refresh
The only reason I'm able to make my curls last is because of a hard hold gel. You'll notice that I use the enliven gel. It has alcohol in it. Alcohol is a big no no if you're following cgm. They're very drying in nature. But the only reason I've stuck to my guns on this one is because I overcompensate on wash days. I dc every single time. I put in the work and make sure to curl train every single time. I use moisture heavy products and then once Im done, I don't have to do anything else during the week. I'm able to prolong my wash day without too much effort.
I'm doing ok. It's been such a horrible month. One thing after the other. Thankfully I have pre-filmed videos that I am yet to release. Haven't filmed a thing in August. It's time i pull up my socks and get back into it.
Im facing a lot of pimples breakout around forehead and skin around my ears may due to hair products I am using eversince I hve started cgm since I hve pimples prone skin...am so disturbed am facing two problems at a same time and idk what to say...The hair products that Iam using is requil murumuru damage repair conditioner(pink) and wow cocunut milk shampoo which makes my scalp so itchy and dry and which not only makes my hair falls I think it also cause pimples...I don't even use leave in conditioner due to pimples...and end up oiling my hairs(cocunut)...pls suggest something ,should I leave the cgm method?😞
Ok. I have a video on CGM and acne that I feel you must watch. And I also have a video to hairfall that you need to watch asap. Imo ditch the oil for now.
@@MichelleManuel I don't miss your videos😢I try to see all of em..Jst tell me this ,the shampoo that I am using is it real good ?idk it makes my scalp so dry
Hi Michelle, i tried applying oil very tiny bit, i started getting flakes, not dandruff, as my scalp is dry, so whenever i applied this oils on 2,3rd day's of wash, i used to find dry flakes on my scalp, i am sure itz not dandruff. Any suggestion on this will really appreciated.
Did you apply the oil to your scalp any chance? If you used a teeny tiny bit on the lengths only it shouldn't have caused this issue. Either way, if you have a dry scalp there's a very good chance you have flaking because it's winter and it's cold. I would suggest using a pre poo treatment before washing your hair and at the dc stage using a mask that is formulated for the scalp.
Hi, Your videos are really helpful for us. Thankyou. I have lovely curly hair but I have too many fly as well, and fizz too so kindly help me with the right method as well as right products.
I won't be able to tell you what the right products and method is for you randomly. I've made content on different styling techniques and products. You'll have to use trial and error to see what suits your hair the best. Same with the products. Please have a look
You can use the shampoo, but be careful about drying out your hair. Make sure to add and lock the moisture back in. Even with oil, you can use it if it's not too heavy for your hair.
@@MichelleManuel i am tired of my hair and to give it so much time to get curls is very time consuming. Is there any quick way to use minimal product and get satisfactory results. Also what is step of using these products? 1 Shampoo 2 conditioner 3 deep treatment 4 serum 5 gel?

Thanks. Sadly I only talk about Indian products as I have access to them here. Have not tried anything from the UK. It will be difficult for me to point you in the right direction. In time I will try to get my hands on the products available in the uk and america. Hopefully I should have some answers for you in the future. Right now your guess is as good as mine.
Hi Michelle, So recently i noticed that the serum I am using is not CG friendly and it contains silicones. I started my CG journey 2 months ago. Should i be using a sulfate shampoo to remove the effect of the silicones from usage of the serum? If so, can you suggest me a shampoo for the same?

See both the conditioners have the same ingredients. I'm guess the formulation is different. If you have low to medium porosity hair try the babbasu one and for high Porosity try the murmuru conditioner. However, they're very comparable. I don't see a huge difference in results.
Should we also apply product on the hair near the roots? I get a lot of frizz on the crown. the lengths do fine. As can be seen in your videos, you generally apply products on the lengths leaving the top part of hair near roots. please suggest
I like the keep my roots light. That way i get volume. When i apply product at the roots my hair doesn't have any volume at all. The only product i use at the roots would be mousse.
I also have an oily scalp. My top lengths stay moisturised.
Do your roots remain frizzy on day 2. I noticed that all my frizz is gone near the roots on the second day after wash.
Thanks for the video girl ! But what about the plum serum !?
I don't have the plum serum.
I think watching your videos has given me a better insight. Thank you ❣️.
Still not sure if I am doing things right 😅. I am using Re'equil hair control shampoo and Re'equil murumuru damage control conditioner. Which serum would be good for my routine? Is biolage smooth proof serum CG friendly?
I mentioned some serums in this video itself. Did you not like any of those?
I don't use matrix as it's not cruelty free.
@@MichelleManuel I purchased matrix serum before I found your channel :(. I have a full bottle lying in the cupboard 🥲
I am considering to buy grapeseed oil now :)
Just tally the ingredients on the isitcg or curlsbot website and check if it's cg approved
Finally 😍😍😍😍😍 thank you Michelle. Can I use khadi moroccan argon oil. Because amazon don't deliver in our place and the brand you mentioned is not available on Flipkart.
I'm sure you can. If you use a teeny tiny bit and the consistency is thin, you can make it work! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel thank you ❤️
Wow you are on a roll ....what should I say....it's like you are creating content just for me ❤️🙏😀
That's so amazing. I kinda am though! I'm glad you feel that way!!! ❤️❤️❤️
May i know what's your opinion about cantu coconut curling cream and ur view on overall cantu products , are those cg friendly?
So cantu is not cruelty free so I haven't tried them ever. From what I hear they're heavy products and will suit higher porosity tighter curl patterns.
The video was really helpful for a beginner like me with high porosity hair!
Just help me out that the earth rhythm serum can be used after applying leave in cond and gel as serum when hair is semi dry or what?
You can do leave in then serum then gel. No point using it after as it's best when applied mixed with water.
Best to use it as a serum on non washdays. It will help to retain moisture
Omg the timing, what are the odds 😁
Yup!!! Exactly. It's like your spidy sense was tingling! 😂😂😂
Earthy rhythm has changed the packaging of camellia jamaican castor oil. Is the new one having same ingredients?
I've inserted the ingredients in this video I think. Feel free to tally them.
What conditioner u use
You are looking too good without makeup
❤️
Hello there! I hope you are doing well. Content is as usual-bomb!
Thank you Miss Dina! ❤️❤️
I'm doing better. Thanks for asking!
Ive been hunting for a cg-suitable serum for a bit now, so yayyyy to this vid!
It's so sad for my hair that it starts losing its curl pattern in a day. I hope I can pick something from this video up!
I've noticed that a hard hold gel helps a lot.
@@MichelleManuel thank you for the tip! Do you think homemade flaxseed gel may be the best gel out there? Also, I get the flakes all over my hair once the gel is dry and it looks like dandruff in my black hair. Any tips, please? Pretty please! 🙏🏿
I've used flaxseed gel. It doesn't give me too much hold. It's good for people following cg strictly.
Not my person fav.
The flakes, you need to make sure there's no clumping or pilling while application. Diluting it in water and emulsifiying really helps. Application on super wet hair also helps with the flakes. Combing through does too
@@MichelleManuel thanks a million! I'm gonna do these steps and update you!
@@arpita3191 💯
Very informative....i was searching for a good serum.... Definitely gonna buy the grapeseed oil
Ahhh nice! ❤️
Should I use leave in conditioner before serum😊? And I don't know which leave in conditioner or curl cream to use before serum. I want to know the pattern of using serum and leave in conditioner or curl defining cream. Please 🙏 help me!
It's not necessary to use a leave in and a serum together on washday. It might just be too heavy for the hair.
If there is an urgent need for extra moisturization then you could consider using a leave in conditioner, then a serum and then a gel/mousse.
I have a playlist on cg products where I've detailed each product categories and how to choose amongst them. It might be helpful to check those videos out.
This is AMAZING! Love your reviews always!
Thanks Alisha! ❤️❤️
Can u please make a complete video on 2 A and 2 B wavy hair routine and budget friendly products ??
I have videos on a 2b wavy hair routines and budget friendly cg products.
Once it's safe to meet people I'll make routines for different hair types.
Excellent video Mich. I haven’t tried a hair serum yet but I will now. Thanks a lot.
Might be a game changer for you Roch! ❤️
The only lightweight oil I have is Johnson's baby oil for removing makeup! For time being can this oil be used for hair as serum?!
Might be too heavy. You can try it and see what happens. But use only 1 drop max.
@@MichelleManuel Suree! Thank you for replying!
Is loreal oil serum good for curly hair? ❤
I haven't tried it so i can't comment
You should work on your own range of products... I would totally buy it. Though please make them fragrance free
That's so sweet! ❤️
Can i use earth rhythm every non wash day?what is quantity to emulsify it
Could you explain this comment please.
Can earth rhythm serum be used for SOTC...As you have mentioned this serum works best with water or on damp hair...To what extent would working with water for SOTC do?!
No. It won't work to sotc. It has to be used with water. Else you get a cast that won't go away. Hair will look stringy.
@@MichelleManuel OK Michelle..Got it! Thank you for answering!
Is it normal to loose hiar while refreshing and finger curling your hair with serums and leave in products apart from wash day?
With serums not at all. You shouldnt be losing hair. If you're doing a full refresh and attempting to detangle then yes. You'll have hairfall. Whatever's stuck in the clump and already fallen will come out.
Can we use the earth rhythm serum in place of gels on our washdays, will it serve the purpose .
And your curls look so shiny😍
Hey Greeshma. I feel like that would be super expensive. No?
Also thank you! ❤️
@@MichelleManuel Yeah, that's true😁
How do you make your curls last so long even without refreshing.
I have the same hair type like yours but my curls only last until day 2 without refresh
The only reason I'm able to make my curls last is because of a hard hold gel. You'll notice that I use the enliven gel. It has alcohol in it. Alcohol is a big no no if you're following cgm. They're very drying in nature. But the only reason I've stuck to my guns on this one is because I overcompensate on wash days. I dc every single time. I put in the work and make sure to curl train every single time. I use moisture heavy products and then once Im done, I don't have to do anything else during the week. I'm able to prolong my wash day without too much effort.
Great info as always. Hope you’re doing well. You make everything look easy.
I'm doing ok. It's been such a horrible month. One thing after the other. Thankfully I have pre-filmed videos that I am yet to release. Haven't filmed a thing in August. It's time i pull up my socks and get back into it.
Nice hair dear pls share only hair frant bun two minits after hair wash pls uplod dear
How did you use earth rhythm swrum post hair wash?
I demonstrated in the video.

Im facing a lot of pimples breakout around forehead and skin around my ears may due to hair products I am using eversince I hve started cgm since I hve pimples prone skin...am so disturbed am facing two problems at a same time and idk what to say...The hair products that Iam using is requil murumuru damage repair conditioner(pink) and wow cocunut milk shampoo which makes my scalp so itchy and dry and which not only makes my hair falls I think it also cause pimples...I don't even use leave in conditioner due to pimples...and end up oiling my hairs(cocunut)...pls suggest something ,should I leave the cgm method?😞
Ok. I have a video on CGM and acne that I feel you must watch.
And I also have a video to hairfall that you need to watch asap.
Imo ditch the oil for now.
@@MichelleManuel I don't miss your videos😢I try to see all of em..Jst tell me this ,the shampoo that I am using is it real good ?idk it makes my scalp so dry
@@snehadas3435 I've never used the coconut milk shampoo.
If it's making your scalp itchy and dry then please switch asap. Get a more gentle shampoo.
@@MichelleManuel Thankyou🙂
Someone suggested serum to be used during styling. After leave in. Before the gel in wet hair . Your inputs please.
If your leave in conditioner is too light and you need more moisturization, you can always try leave-in then serum then gel/mousse
@@MichelleManuel thanks. Will try
Amazing video! Love the reviews! Great videos as always!
Thank you so much Esther! ❤️
I really appreciate the encouragement! 🤗🤗
W8ng for haul vdeos Michelle 🥰
I like your dressing sense
So pls recommend links or stuff if you purchase online humble request 🥺🥺
I'm really sorry Divya. Trying my best to shoot the video asap.
Hi Michelle, i tried applying oil very tiny bit, i started getting flakes, not dandruff, as my scalp is dry, so whenever i applied this oils on 2,3rd day's of wash, i used to find dry flakes on my scalp, i am sure itz not dandruff. Any suggestion on this will really appreciated.
I applied grapeseed oil only one drop that to lengths, it was super light on my hair..
Did you apply the oil to your scalp any chance?
If you used a teeny tiny bit on the lengths only it shouldn't have caused this issue.
Either way, if you have a dry scalp there's a very good chance you have flaking because it's winter and it's cold. I would suggest using a pre poo treatment before washing your hair and at the dc stage using a mask that is formulated for the scalp.
Hi, Your videos are really helpful for us. Thankyou.

Can I use sweet almond oil as hair serum?
I have high porosity 3A-3B hair
Can I use shampoo with sodium lauryl ether sulphate in my cg journey?
You can use the shampoo, but be careful about drying out your hair.
Make sure to add and lock the moisture back in.
Even with oil, you can use it if it's not too heavy for your hair.
@@MichelleManuel okay ❤️
Do a step by step routine plz ...
Also is there any quick way? I have damaged my hair enough
Step by step routine of?
Are you looking for an easier way to apply a serum?

Hey Michelle! Thank you so much for such helpful videos! I'm so hooked to your videos now! ❤️ I need your help with something... I'm moving to the UK and most of the products you mention in your videos might not be available there. I'm very new to this CG world and finding the equivalent products will be near to impossible for me! Could you please help me out as this is worrying me a lot! I have 2B/2C hair with high porosity.
Lots of love ❤️
Thanks.
Sadly I only talk about Indian products as I have access to them here. Have not tried anything from the UK. It will be difficult for me to point you in the right direction.
In time I will try to get my hands on the products available in the uk and america. Hopefully I should have some answers for you in the future. Right now your guess is as good as mine.
@@MichelleManuel Thank you! Eagerly waiting for it!
Hi Michelle,
So recently i noticed that the serum I am using is not CG friendly and it contains silicones. I started my CG journey 2 months ago. Should i be using a sulfate shampoo to remove the effect of the silicones from usage of the serum? If so, can you suggest me a shampoo for the same?
That would be a good idea.
Check out the clarifying section on my amazon storefront. You'll find the link in description
@@MichelleManuel Thank you so much! love your videos!!
❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel Actually I have this shampoo named "Densita" ... will that work as a clarifying shampoo to remove the silicones in my hair?
Havent heard of it.
Check rhe ingredient list. You're looking for a sulphate. No silicone.
You are soooo pretttttyyyyy........❤❤❤❤
