- This is a wavy hair routine video for Indian 2b and 2c wavy hair. All the products are budget friendly and cruelty free.
This is an upright styling video for wavy and curly hair
This video takes you through a wash now style later routine with one important modification. There's no wet detangling. I know its difficult to transition into detangling your hair in shower. A lot of beginners have trouble with this when starting the curly girl method. Hopefully this video helps you if you struggle with this issue.

I suggest aloe or flaxseed or any other cg approved gel available to you.
The scalp massaging brush is not mandatory. Use your finger tips instead. Point is this video isn't too technical or complicated. I remember getting extremely intimidated and confused when I started my natural hair journey. Hopefully this video breaks things down a bit and is easy for you to follow, if you're just starting the Curly Girl Method in India.
Expect your head to feel heavy and oily for the first 2 weeks. Your scalp will adapt and that feeling soon goes away.

Missed you too much! ♥
A new routine for me to try out hehe this can be supremely helpful since wet detangling causes a lot of hairfall and I love dry detangling!
Definitely try it. It makes a huge difference on the breakage I experience. Let me know if it works for you. 🥰
@@MichelleManuel yes for sure!
Wow I wish my hair was like yours😍😍😍 stunning
Watch my first video or my hair journey video. See what my hair looked like when I first started. Its gotten so much better with time.

Thank you Nadia! ❤️❤️
You're back after a longgg break 🥰
Yeppp. I'm back. Lots and lots of videos coming very soon. ❤️
Thanks for reaching out btw. It was very sweet. ❤️
You came up with an amazing video yet again. I had a query. I've been doing a modified version of cg method which works well on my wavy-curly hair. But the only problem is that my hair on back of my head falls flat. It doesn't have much volume and doesn't curl that well either. Any suggestions?
So think of volume as one issue and definition as another issue.
If your hair is relatively straight in one area, manipulate like i did in this video. Style it differently. Also focus on curl training that area more. (Squish to condish while conditioning, do a 2 strand twist when deep conditioning, try finger rolling, finger coilng, pin curling.
About volume, it's a large subject that requires a totally different video.
Root clip, style upside down. Direct the hair away from the scalp when styling upright. Don't use product near the roots. Fluff out your roots properly. Use a root comb to fluff.
I’m sending your videos to one of my relatives - I’m so proud of you that today bcz of you people notice my curls and ask me the remedy for their hair ❤️❤️
Love love love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I letrally Stop my CGM journey because of in shower detangaling problem. This method is amazing , im gonna try this definitely
Please do. Hopefully it works out better for you
Love love love the results ❤️
Question- how can I have symmetrical curls? Some of my curls have more hair where some of them have few.
Also, how to give volume to hair at back side, I always feel less volume at back even though I fluff the roots too.
Getting symmetry in your results is a huge challenge. What tends to work for me is using a wide tooth comb. Notice that my denman clumps are much thinner and also thicker than the clumps I formed with the comb.
Volume at the back is difficult to get. A good haircut can fix that to a great extent. Also directing the hair off the scalp while styling should help.
Upside down styling is also helps.
Your hair indeed looks v glossy 😍
❤️❤️
You are God sent for us newbies who are starting their CG journey, thanks to you! Can you kindly let me know whether a person who is going to start their CG journey follow this routine or shall we stick to traditional method!
You can definitely try this routine. I made this tutorial keeping beginners in mind, who want to start but are having trouble getting around the idea of detangling wet in shower.
It should work out.
Loved this video! So glad I found you on IG☺️ Question… Where did you buy the hair accessories you showed on your IG?
I showed these in an amazon haul video ages ago. Might be on my storefront. I'll check and update my storefront by this evening
Please suggest some affordable hair cream and gel for Bangladesh..
Please will you make a video for gel application and how to remove cast!! Applying a gel is turning into Nightmare for me! Do guide me and I am using that Enliven gel after watching your video
When you're applying gel, take a little Emulsify it on your hands and then apply using praying hands or raking or roping (whichever you prefer).
About removing the gel cast, I think I spoke about it in detail on my plopping video. Please have a look
what is the difference between using curling cream and leave in conditioner in your hair
Wow it's really time saving and results were nothing different.
Good to see you back 🥰
I totally agree. Once the detangling is out of the way, my washday doesn't seem as stressful anymore.
I can see you are using difference sampoo in each video. Is it good to do?
Hey can you please share wavy hair tutorial for 2a/2b please
Same techniques would apply. I also did a video on the bowl method that you could check out
How long do you go between washes?
Hii...please make a video on weekly hair care routine for curly hair

Hi, your content is very informative. Trying out cgm. Is the l'oreal xtenso gold cg friendly shampoo?

Thank you.
I did a video on the hair colours i have on my hair. Here you go

Hey.. Long time since last video..❤. I really love the way your hair spirals. I have lost my spirals totally after my last hair cut. I read about curl shock, but mine has taken too long and doesn't seem to get any better. My curls turn wonky after every wash. Any tips here?
I totally relate. I've lost a lot of definition from my haircut. I love the new volume and bounce.
But it's a struggle to use the Denman brush. I feel like I end up with some juicy but mostly stringy curls in the front. I'm definitely going to experiment a bit more and try a few other styling routines until I have my length back. I think you could also try a few other routines that involve curl manipulation until you have your definition back.
Hi Michelle... I'm following this "style next day" routine after you mentioned in your earlier video somewhere...to tell you honestly this made my wash day so much easier and not time consuming...also I prefer detangling when pre poo.. because this way when I wash with shampoo, I feel less hair fall...then dc and style the next day... thank you so much... now I don't feel like wash day as a task... can't thank you enough for this...
That's amazing. You know what, I got so many questions on how to avoid wet detangling. I kept pointing people to the detangling tips video and kept repeating the same instruction; follow the last tip in the video. Thought I'd just do a demo video to make it easier.
Exactly... Wash day doesn't feel like a task if you break it up. :)
@@MichelleManuel and one more thing is sometimes I have to see your videos twice or thrice to understand... because as we progress only we get so many doubts which we might have missed when we see it earlier... I have even saved some of your videos to a list to check in future in case I need...
@@rajeshmadathil7938 thank you so much. Thats so cool to hear. Thank you for sharing this. :)
I literally gave up on full cg routine due to cold climatic condition of Himachal Pradesh where I moved after marriage added with hectic work hrs as a doctor. Since December I have been sporting my naked curls only with shampoo and conditioner(sometimes dc when weather is more forgiving). Frizz is not too much like before I started cgm, but there’s none of that 2b/2c curl definition I had. It’s 2a without styling. Yes I didn’t skip pre poo with oils(Mix of Bringadi oil and Black seed oil) which I kept for an hr and instead of silicone filled serum I applied mix of oils (argan oil, grape seed oil and jojoba oil) on lengths of my damp hair. This kept my scalp healthy and gave shine to my hair with minimal frizz.
This content of yours will be a life saver for many who are short on time and can make it work by dividing wash routine in 2 days.I’ll definitely give this method a shot. I hope my hair will start looking good again. Thanks a lot for this useful video.😊
Welcome back. So happy to see you again. I hope your health is in better condition. Take care of yourself Michelle.❤️
Styling the hair is hard for sure...I have also started sporting my naked curls and saving the styling part for important days...
Thank you so much Shreya. I do remeber our conversation in December regarding this. Lovely of you to share. Winters are a really difficult time for us living in india where indoor heating is not exactly a thing. Styling the hair cam be such a task. Really awesome that you improved to fit your lifestyle and needs. ❤️
You can also braid your hair in two French braids when slightly damp and small amount of product. Then take it out after a couple f hours and you will have waves 2b from top to bottom.
Please do make a video on Products which contain moisture and protein to balance moisture n protein. Lack of moisture in my hair.
Hi Naima. I have a full playlist on protein and moisture balance. Please have a look.
Hello Michelle , I hope u r doing good! Love the video for starters ♥️I have a doubt though.I don't refresh every day coz I stay at home and I like how my hair looks. Does this affect the duration of my transition period?
No not at all. I hardly refreshed during my first year of cgm. I had no issue curl training. Doing less is more. Put all the effort into your washday and then just let you hair be.
@@MichelleManuel okay ♥️Thank you!
Thanks for the really helpful vdo ❤️❤️is the st botanica shampoo very gentle? Actually I want something which is strong enough to cleanse my Heavily oiled hair but at the same time it shouldn't be too drying
It's not very gentle. It's cleansing but also moisturising. If you're looking for the most cleansing shampoos ideal for use with prepoos i have a reel on it and i have mentioned a few options in my video on my fav cg products.
Really informative video..
My hair type is exactly the same...wash day gives Really good results However on 2nd an 3rd day...crown part is extremely flat...please suggest.
Steps taken during styling will help crown volume. A good hair week always starts on washday. If you take adequate steps to get volume on washday, you merely need to fluff out your roots on other days to gain back volume.
Going to give cgm another shot ! Thankyou for making good quality content with affordable products !! Will follow all your tips for cgm ❤
Thank you so much.
Please do! You have nothing to lose honestly. ❤️
So we have wash our hair twice ? ..the styling day ..did you wet your hair by taking shower or just sprayed water?
I loved your technique and would try it now onwards❤❤❤What kind of haircut do suggest for wavy hair?
Thanks. I like chunky long layers for wavy hair. This is a detailed breakdown of my haircut

Please share detangling brush link?
That's a really great hair colour. Can you please mention the hair colour you used in this video. And the video helped too.Thank you so much 💙
Thanks so much. It's a mix of colours. I've spoken about the exact shade and stuff in a dedicated video on how i colour my hair of you're interested. :)
I ll check the video. Thank you 🤍
Look who's back ❤❤
Yepp yepp. I'm back. ❤️❤️
This gell is good for hair ?
everytime i watch your video…i learn something new…
❤️
This routine is much more relaxing then the other CG method, but I do have one query, when you do the plopping wouldnt it absorb the creams used? Also is there any other way to dry out the curls without a diffuser?
If you don't want to plop it's totally fine.
Start air drying or diffusing right away
2 days is a nice idea😁😁😁thank you. ..its helpful 😘😘😘😘😘😘
Very glad to hear it. Let me know what happens if you decide to try it. ❤️❤️
@@MichelleManuel sure🥰
Hi Michelle, I am new to cgm and your channel. I've been doing your original wavy hair routine (ie. wash and style the same day). This might be a silly question, but using the wash now style later method, how do you get your hair wet the next day? Do you simply spray it down with water or do you step in the shower and wash it with just water? TIA
Hehe. No silly questions. Feel free to ask whenever you have a doubt. You can hop into the shower and simply get your hair wet thoroughly. I presume you will style only after you shower for the day. So it's convenient enough.
Or, if you have a powerful spray bottle you could simply spritz your hair down properly. (I recommend going to a gardening supply shop and buying one, they're 10 times more powerful than the spray bottles available on Amazon for haircare).
@@MichelleManuel Thanks so much.
@@MichelleManuel hehe i had same query now it’s solved as i am going to soon start this method till now normal shampoo n conditioner i was using, so i have one doubt i mean when you start first time how you clarify your past silicone conditioner n colours etc products from the hair which shampoo to use for clarifying everything? i mean any normal shampoo like what all family member use for clarifying once a month all the gel n all or any specific clarifying shampoo if you can let me know? as till now just i use norml dove shampoo n conditioner
Hello Michelle, so the one thing that i get confused with is the amount of gel and leave in to use. I think i end up using more and then still have frizz, but i guess, i will learn as i go ahead in this journey
In the beginning i used to struggle with this too. There's no standard amount of product. Start with a coin size amount and then add or reduce from there based on what your results look like.
Is it okay to use this gel
Wow....ur curls are awesome 😘
I have a doubt.. after 2nd day of my hair wash I do have curl clumps but in that curl clumps I have frizz...Is that okay to have that frizz?
Thanks so much. Everyone has a little bit of frizz. It gets better with time as well If you can follow a night routine you'll be able to keep the frizz at bay to a great extent.
Sleep with a silk bonnet.
Where's your blue top from?🥺💗 It's lovelyyy!
It's a dress. I bought it from shein.
Hello there please suggest the best hair mask for dry and frizzy curly hair. I really need it. Need your response.
I did a video recently on all my fav products. Please help yourself
Hi, I have a question - So, in this routine you skipped leave-in conditioner, right?
Hey Michalle, thanks for all your videos. Thanks to you now i know the right products and methods. I have now started following CGM..and feel like I am soon gonna give up😢...you said no products till 2 inches of your scalp, but my baby hairs are so worst they make my whole curly look disaster..what can i do to fix them? Please help 🙏
There's a solution to this. After you take off the plop, you can use a little gel or mousse to pat down frizz at the top sections. Make sure your gel does not contain alcohol. When you sotc you can also use a light oil or serum on the areas that have frizz.
When you dc you can also use a scalp safe mask on the top lengths and scalp to moisturise those areas.
@Michelle Manuel Thank you for the reply. Can you suggest any good scalp safe masks?
Can I use the enliven gel ??? I have low porosity hair and generally like light products on my hair
The gel is not cg friendly. I only use it for budget reasons. I made a curl up gel vs enliven gel comparison video. Before you decide to use it, definitely check the video out.
Hi Michelle..i have been straightening my hair for quite a long time now and have always wanted to try CGM but never had a proper understanding. Your videos have really given me a hope that my natural hair can also look good if taken proper care. And after watching your videos i have planned not to further straighten my hair and try cgm. Thanks a lot for making these videos. You are motivating people like me a lot ❤️
Since I am planning to start my CGM journey this month, i am following your videos and your product references totally. I am planning to buy the moms co shampoo, re'equil murumuru conditioner, northwish leave in but I don't know if I should go for gel or mousse and which one..please help me out and i have dry scalp most of times which gives dandruff..will these product add on to that or u can suggest any other shampoo which will be cg friendly and also not add on to my dandruff issue. I am too scared to start the process as i have always dreamt of having nice curls and i just hope these steps give me results I want 😊
Thanks for sharing. I don't know if you have been keeping up with my videos recently. I've suggested products for beginners under 350 and I've done a video on dandruff care. Feel free to check them out before buying the lineup you stated. There's a lot you can check out, my playlist on transition tips and what to expect when you start, my videos where i compare the results between a mousse and gel. Between upright and upside down mousse styling. There's lots to unpack that i might not be able to cover in a single comment reply.
Thanks Michelle! Just wanted to understand that in your beginners video you have not mentioned clarifying on the 1st day...so is it not important and if it is then which shampoo should we use on our 1st day of CGM for clarifying all the build up from our earlier shampoo & conditioners.
And please share link of your video for dandruff care and mouse/gel comparison. I searched for it but couldn't find. Thanks for all the help! :)
Hi Michelle!
Please help me with the link of the dandruff care video. And also need your advise on clarifying on 1st start day of CGM.

You'll find other relevant videos in my beginner to CGM playlist
Did we have use conditioner after every wash? Also after styling for how many days those the curls remain same and wheather we have to comb them or not? I am your new subscriber and going to start my CGM please help me out I have so many doubts.
I have a video called how to start CGM in India which answers all of these questions in detail.
Wash as much as you need to.
Your curls last for a day or two. The retention will increase over time.
Combing will leave you with a ball of frizz.
Amazing! But, do we have to do this everytime after shower to get such defined curls? Or is there any possibility of defined curls eventually without applying products.. someone do answer this!
I do this once a week only.
If you're looking for a routine that involves frequent styling, I wouldn't recommend this complex a routine.
Go for something simple like the following routine. ua-cam.com/video/uPNF-wUH7Oo/v-deo.html
Even if you're following the routine I've posted above, I would say do this once in 2- 3 days only. This shouldn't be any everyday thing.
If you're going product free, you don't see this kind of gloss and definition.
@@MichelleManuel so do we have to do it life long? 😳
I need to thank you. I have low porosity hair and used water based light conditioner by just herbs and very light oil ( grape seed) and little gel with water. It worked wonders.
One suggestion. The low porosity hair people don't need heavy oil pre poo. Even no prepoo can do.
Secondly always used warm water to wash your hair and hair mask should be moisturising and we have to massage the mask in...or it will stay on top of hair shaft.
Use heat cap for at least one hour after hair mask.
Thirdly while using light hair leave in conditioner...one can use a shower cap for 15 minutes. Helps in absorbtion of moisture. Our main issue is that.
Fourthly. Use light hair oils like grape seed after leave in conditioner. Depending on which method one is using.
Gel should be diluted.
And always always use warm water
Someone's been paying attention. Good on you! Absolutely love it! ❤️❤️
I like the fact that inspite of you having high porosity hair....you are bringing in your friends with low porosity hair and asking their experience and even experimenting on their hair.... because that unables us to understand the difference.
Sometimes I feel knowing about our hair porosity is more important than anything else.
Kindly do make more videos on low porosity hair ... though I understand it is going to be difficult for you....as you will have to rely on experience of others.
I truly appreciate your efforts. You are a very intelligent person,. I must say.
Thank you so much l just followed your routine and it helps
Am just air drying instead of defusing as mom think this process itself is me doing high fashion 😂 anyways
I am a bit insecure about my hair being curly and l gotta go college with it, a whole day of travelling and u can understand the rest 😭
I totally get it. My mum thought cgm was a very long process too. I think it's important to understand why the routine is done in the first place.
For some people straightening or styling their hair with heat is no problem at all. Some people can't afford to do it anymore because of the damage.
Travelling with textured hair in Indian weather is rough! My heart goes out to you.
@@MichelleManuel yeah that's true
@@MichelleManuel aww thank you so much 😇
ur hair color??
I am 46 years old having grey hair, I use Garnier hair color(natural brown), now my question is, I want to follow CGM as I am having 3C type hair. Can it it work on coloured hair. As you said after colouring hair, they won't breathing. So in this condition can if I follow your instructions will it is useful or I should avoid coloring please suggest
CGM does not allow hair colouring.
I do colour my hair because I don't follow all the rules. You can definitely colour your hair and style it on the same day. The process will be very very long and tiring but you want to or have to do it, then go for it. No reason why it shouldn't work.
i am sure i will start my journey with this method once i get expert after4,5 mnths then i will use the wet detangle routine ..thnx alot for making this video atlesst people like me “who just think to start cg routine” will start one day 😅i have bought the products just planning whn to start now as i hv pimple acbe issue due to pcod so i get scared using gel n leave in conditioner on hair 😜
I have pcos too. I struggle with hormonal acne. I feel your pain.
What we go through is horrible!
You might want to watch this video called CGM and acne.

@@MichelleManuel sure i will see this thanx for sharing dis link..exctly full clear skin life long n suddenly this hormnl acne’s are tragedy in life !
Nice !!!!
How much do you scrunch when styling?
Many many many many times. I keep scrunching till I'm happy with the definition.
Please can you tell me when you detangled your dry hair ,how did you make it wet again ?Did you took a bath again
I detangled my hair on the first day.
On the second day I styled right after my shower. Got my hair wet then.
I have hair like you before styling lot of days then most days it's pin straight almost. No idea if it's curly or wavy 😐
Hi Michelle... I'm a new in CGM journey. Last Saturday, i had my second wash. I spent a lot of time in bathroom. I have chronic neck pain. So last wash intensified that pain. Because of all that routine in the same day. This time I'll be trying this method. Thank you Michelle 💕
You are a savior
Hey. I have neck pain too from spending hours editing.
May i share a tip for washdays?
After you plop, lie down. Take full advantage of the fact that you hair is secure in the plop.
Secondly I've been doing Dr Joe's full body stretching routine once a week. It helping with the neck pain. Definitely check her video out. It's a total life saver.

@@MichelleManuel Thank you Michelle. Thank you so much.
Last time I asked you some tips for my scalp visibility. I tried up down styling technique, as per your suggestion. It gives me better results. Still my scalp was showing. But it's okay.
Can I ask you something, my scalp is very oily. And my hair is very dry. I'm losing my definition after two days. Is it normal for a beginner. Can you help me out. Please...
@@akhilak623 I have an oily scalp with dry lengths too. Dry scalp massaging helps me during the week. I have a video on it. Check it out and see if it's for you.
If your scalp is excessively oily and you also have dandruff you will need to see a dermatologist.
Clumps don't stay in the beginning. If you use a hard hold gel, the clumps will stay intact during the week.
@@MichelleManuel thank you so much Michelle... I have watched that video. Started already. Thanks again.
Hi Michelle, been following your videos for a while now. Is planning to start CGM soon but can't make up my mind regarding spaced out wash days. I'm a person who does workout literally everyday and have my body and scalp sweat like a pig, is there anyway I could have a hair wash everyday while doing a cgm? 😭
It's not ideal but you could try it. Detangling might be an issue so only use a leave in conditioner. Skip the gel completely. Do a simple rake and scrunch or comb and scrunch.
@@MichelleManuel thankyou! ❤️ I'll update once I try this. much love.
So for wavy frizz hair what is best a curl care shampoo or anti frizz shampoo?
A shampoo will not fight frizz. You'll need a styler for that
Hi Michelle.
How long does generally take to transition from your frizzy hair to curly luscious hair? How long did it take for you?
I don't know how long it took to be honest. We're very hard on ourselves and tend to assume the worst when judging ourselves. We tend to look at the frizz through a magnifying glass. It's always much better than we think it is.
So take my reply with a pinch of salt,
First time I was like, this is cool was probably my 4th wash. First time I was completely mind flown by my results were month 11 or 12. If you want to see my hair month on month check out my hair journey video part 2. I've put in clips from month 1 to 12.
My major issue right now is that my hair looks awesome on day 1.. I lose my curls right from day 2 and my hair starts looking matted and wild. It's horrible. 😒
So I end up tying a ponytail. 🙈
(I use all CG friendly products and also finger coil curl clumps with a strong hold gel)
Tell me your product line up once.
@@MichelleManuel....
-Prepoo with coconut oil( once a week)
-Scalp scrub with MCaffeine scrub
-Shampoo with requil antihairfall shampoo when I prepoo and the mom's co natural protein shampoo when I don't prepoo also truefrog anti dandruff shampoo at some weekends.
-Wow Moroccan argan oil hairmask for conditioning, squish to condish, followed with a heat cap(curlyn)( half an hour)
-Curl up leave in cream and Ashba botanics leave in conditioner equal quantity. (Rake in and comb with detangling comb)
-Lastly fix my curls or curl up flaxseed gel glazing aslo enliven gel for wonky curls.
-Followed by scrunching
But what to do second day, to look still fresh with your curls?
Ive shared all my tips in a playlist called post washday hair care!

This playlist has everything I do.
Hey Michelle di! I am not comfortable with wet detangling nor styling the next day. So for today's wash day, what I did was I detangled before shampooing and then again after applying leave in conditioner because my hair becomes tangled easily..Is that ok?
I cannot detangle the way you mentioned in your comment. It causes lots of breakage on my hair. If it's working for you then go for it. Do whatever causes the least breakage
@@MichelleManuel ok thanks di!
Do you have hairfall?
I have exactly the same hair texture....it's very difficult to tame the frizz... please give some tips
Taming frizz comes with time. It's not easy to tackle frizz when you're transitioning.
With enough time and practice, the frizz becomes minimal.
I love how you explain every little detail in all of your videos...I lose crazy amount of hair when I detangle my hair in the shower. So I have switched to detangling them dry after applying oil on the lengths....The hair part widening is very much true...my mom has been parting her hair in the center for years and the part is widening with age...Also thankyou for all the efforts you put into your videos♥
Thanks so much for sharing. Pre shower detangling seems ideal but it just doesn't work for my hair. There would be way too much breakage and not enough slip since I only do my routine once a week. It could work for people who use soft or medium hold gels, people with shorter hair or people who wash their hair frequently.
Remember to clarify frequently as the oil on your lengths may cause lots of buildup over time.
@@MichelleManuel No, I didn't mean pre-shower, I apply light(post shampoo) oil on the length when dry after shower( I style them the next day) I have long hair as well and I wash once a week.
Yeah, thanks 😊
@@dikshitav7722 ahhh okay. You know what? I read this comment and I thought you meant you detangle during your prepoo stage. I thought over it and decided to I try it once again. Because in theory it sounded simple enough. My ripped out so much hair in the process.
Maybe detangling pre shower just doesn't work for my hair type.
Detangling post shampoo and conditioner on dry hair with a bit of oil sounds much more promising. Its a great idea. Totally makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. :)
Glad to see you back girl ❤️ n love every bit of your video....m back again with a query .....,🙈🙈🙈
is it ok to not style ur hair if there is not much commitments outside ...or when u r home for few days...
i hv started loving my washday results as i mentioned in comment on your last video,m not sure if the wishes reached you as i didn't get reply , and i know u reply always , don't know how but u always do it 😀😀 ....
Anyways sometimes I find it overwhelming to be soooo conscious of hair .....i just want to chill n not worry what will spoil so much of energy n time investment on hair or I want to braid or make bun and just tieup....how do u maintain on the days when u don't want to style or invest lot of time on hair care but just go simple frizz free wavy ...do u dc....do u use only leavein n no gel ..do u scrunch or just clarify n condition n let it be....🤔🤔...
Lastly ...lots of love , goodwishes n more power to u babe 🥰🥰❤️❤️🤗🤗
Also I m bit worried of overloading if every 4-6 days i find myself using so much of combination of moisture or protein ....m not sure if I m right but I feel too many products always might bring me to overload someday soon ...so I wanna give breaks
Hi Swati!
I don't know how I missed your comment. I do reply to every single comment i see. But it's possible that I didn't get a notification and therefore didn't reply or that I did reply and you didn't get a notification. Either way I'm sorry I missed it.
I understand where you're coming from. Sometimes you just need to chill and not focus on your hair. On some weeks I don't style my hair at all. I just clarify and then condition, wash it off thoroughly and go about the week doing nothing. I use a plastic claw clip during the week and put my hair up in a bun. On other weeks when I don't style I braid my hair up with some leave in conditioner or I braid my hair up with zero product. These are weeks when I'm just at home and plan to workout of do other some other home project. It's totally fine to give yourself a break and relax. When you go back to styling you appreciate the results so much more.
You won't get overload is you remember to clarify once a month and strip your hair of all the product. Try to prolong your washday and maybe go from 4 to 5 to 6 slowly building upto 7 days. Once a week feels way more reasonable effort wise
Also thank you 😘😘😘😘
@@MichelleManuel 😘😘🤗🤗🤗
Been following CGM. I dont know if its only me but i really hate the feeling when my hair feel sticky and frizzy the next day(and other days) due to the gel,i guess. My hair strands stick together. Overall,look is so messy..Am I doing something wrong? Pls help.
I don't know if your hair feels frizzy and sticky because of gel. If that's the case then try a mousse.
People spend months and months perfecting their skill, line up and routine. It's called the transition phase. If you continue cgm, you'll need to give it a little time and patience. It really does get better.
Can we comb in the last step? After t
Styling?
If i comb after my hair is dry, I'm left with a ball of frizz. All my definition is gone. My hair looks like a fuzz ball. So don't comb after. You'll ruin all that hard work
I don't get any gel cast with enliven gel. Kidny help. I have one with hold 5 . Olive green.
Getting a cast is tricky but you should get a really strong cast with the level 5 one. The more water in your hair the more watered down the gel gets, this might be a reason for you getting no cast. (It's the same reason why I don't get a cast with the bowl method. The product gets super diluted.)
If you're having trouble getting a cast try 2 things.
Do a second application of gel (glaze) after you micro-plop or after you take the plop off. Since your hair will be much drier than when you first started styling, it should help you get a hard cast.
I used the green gel is my last wavy hair routine video. If you noticed the cast was really hard and crisp. Another reason for the cast was because I air dried on that day. Diffusing breaks up the cast quite a bit.
Okay. Thank you for your quick response. I will try this and let you know the result.
