Hi! It's been a while. I lost my grandmother recently. It's been an emotionally devastating week for the family. Thank you to everyone who felt like something was amiss and reached out. Leaving a note about this video that you might find helpful. I've tried to divide the video into chapters. It's a long video. I've tried to cut and clip it as much as possible, which is why some bits look AWKWARD! Watch it at 1.25 speed or just consume bits and pieces of it. Allow the chapters to sink in before moving onto the next.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother… wishing you lots of love and strength… and I absolutely love your videos… they are so informative and detailed… thank you. ❤️
I always get confused by videos explaining curly hair maintenance or anything relating. Bcz they use terms which we don’t know. U are the only one who is explains from scratch n i have understood everything. Really good work.
Hello from Idaho, USA. 🙂 I started my transition 4 days ago, but I've been learning, researching and preparing for weeks. I was so happy when I found you on UA-cam. Your content is so valuable and your curly long hair reminds me of my own and keeps me motivated to stick with it! On a side note, I visited India about 4 years ago, and loved my time there! So I was excited when I saw that is where you are located. I hope we can be curly girl friends! 🙂 Thanks again for all your amazing curly girl content! ❤
That's amazing Kassandra!!! I'm happy you're here. I wish I could vacation in the states! There's soooo much I want to do there. I want to go to dollar tree, and tj max and Marshall's and ulta and Jc Penny. I want to go to drag shows in NYC and Vegas. I want to buy wigs! Basically I'm obsessed and would kill to visit!!!! Btw there's this song called Idaho that I was obsessed with when I was younger! Basically we're already friends cause we're already sharing! ❤️ Hang on I'll link the song down below.
I've lived all over the United States and Idaho really is incredibly beautiful! If you do ever make it over here, I will take you to all the places!! So happy to meet you!
O my god! I wish this video was made in 2020 as that time I just had maximum foreign girls that followed CGM and they had intense routine. I had experiment a lot and it took me 1 year to understand all the things that she has informed in this video. Though my experience i can tell you guys that she is totally correct for everything.
This video is really helpful for beginners ! I really love your videos ! I've been following CGM since a year now. I discovered your channel few months back , and by following your tips and tricks for my wavy hair has definitely given me more of shrinkage and my hair is much more manageable !!
I have been abusing my hair for almost 20 years that it's too Frizzy and life less. I had 3ft hair and I never liked becoz it was frizzy. Now I hav medium length. Why didn't i know about my hair type before 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I always combed after drying and it made my hair look sooo bad. I feel you are an angel 😇 who enlightened me about my hair. I combed wet hair today and I can already see defined curls. I am so grateful for you. I am loving my hair 😻 thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really glad you're here. I have to request you to please try a full styling routine with leave in conditioner and gel. The results will be amazing. ❤️❤️
You are just a blessing in the world to straight hair in disguise.... So sorry about your grandmother.... wishing you lots of love and strength... Thank you so much man....
Ok so let's understand, What does a butter do? It seals the hair and protects against moisture loss. But does it go into the hair cuticle and nourish it from within? No! What does a leave in conditioner do? It gives your hair moisture, it gives you hair protein. All of this is able to penetrate the hair cuticle. Why? Because it is formulated in a cosmetic lab by a chemist/product formulator who is able a create a formula in which ingredients are of the right molecular size and weight to be able to penetrate the hair shaft. Do can a butter substitute a leave in conditioner? No. It can aid in locking in moisture but it does not give moisture by itself. If you want to understand this fully, have a look at my protein moisture playlist.
Finally I found the youtuber in my type of my hair 😍love your explanation I subscribe without hesitation thanks for the video it helps me so much Love from Mauritius 🇲🇺❤
I literally cried so much just bcoz I don't know what should I do abt my hair what is it, is it wavy, curly I don't know how to style it or what shampoo or conditioner should i use.... Thank god I found this channel at the perfect time, subscribing you rn TYSM ♡
Subscribed ❤️ I just found your channel and know I can't wait to start my CGM 😭. I used to hate my wavy hairs and I just wished to have straight hair as the are easy to style and manage but after seeing your videos I just want my hair to look as yours and will follow all the steps you showed. Thanks a tone love 💕 .
I'm really happy you're going to give CGM a chance. Go slow and experiment. It will take some adjusting but it's a fun journey. Your hair won't look like mine. It will look like yours. Stunning and beautiful!
Sorry for your loss..may granny's soul watch us from high, blessing you n us and rest in peace.. I never felt really to put efforts into my wavy hair untill you showed up.. thanks a ton. ❤️
I am a 26 year old man with curly hair trying to grow my hair out. I find your CGM routine should apply on me as well so I am doing it religiously keeping all your points in mind
I'm glad you're embracing your hair and growing it out. Check out my playlist on cgm advice, mistakes & transition tips to keep your expectations realistic. You could also watch this video for realistic advice on what to expect when you begin: ua-cam.com/video/yEMzhC_Sct0/v-deo.html
😂 I AM scared of gel! I will stick to mousse for a while. Thanks for being so honest about how hard the beginning is, this whole video is very comforting to hear.
Just want to tell you HOW useful this video is! I have seen it 10 times and still when I get confused, i come back to this video 🙈 thanks for these useful tips. I am a beginner so it's v v helpful ❤️💓
Omg!!!!!! M completely in love with your videos...the way you explain making it simple for the biggeners.... M just gonna start it n m also excited to see the transformation of my wavy in a good way.... 💞👏😍❤
hey Michelle thanks a lot for your tips. It has been 4 months since I started my cg. Even though my curls are not perfectly defined as I have not mastered Finger coiling yet my hair has never been so soft and shiny and also manageable. For the first couple of weeks, my friends started asking me whether I had my hair styled.
Losing a loved one can be so difficult... Sending lots of love your way ❤️ Your video is to notch, editing is on point, and content is priceless! The advice and information you give us is pure gold. You're the best!!
Thank you for the Time & Patience advice! I needed that. I just started last month & stopped because by the 2nd day, I only have 60% of my waves left & the 3rd day, only 40%. I felt so discouraged because I'd worked so hard for them. But watching your videos definitely inspired me to give it a go again. Thank you!
I m gonna comb my hair before washing it nd wash then condition like 5-10min ,,then use diy leave in conditioner/aloevera gel,,squish it, that's all I can do for my hair, I don't have such patience or money to do this,, completely
I get it. But the thing that I've found with my hair is, the more time i spend on it, the better it looks. You might enjoy my 5 min routine. Minimal products and it takes only 5 mins. You can diy your products if you know how
Hey Michelle.. Your videos are really great and helpful. Thanks for sorting the videos and adding to playlists. Helps me choose just the videos I should watch as a beginner. So much to learn and long way to go. 😀
I was randomly searching on UA-cam about the haircare routine for my hair which I knew was dry frizzy hair before your thumbnail picture drew my attention that my hair category falls in Wavy hair 😅 . Ok, I have 2B type hair now I got to know..... I really liked the way how you explained the CGM for Indian beginners. I really want to start but just afraid if I would be able to do justice with cgm or not as I'm a mom of a 1.5 year old toddler... 😛😛😛
Thank you so much. A cgm routine does take a fair bit of time. But you can do a simple rake and scrunch and do leave in + mousse. You'll be able to be done with your routine very quickly. It will take maybe 10 mins extra compared to your normal wash day. I think you could try it once and see if it works for you. But I also understand the time struggles for a new mum. Sending you the best. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel hey thank ypu so much for the reply.... inspite of being a mother, I'm a woman too and I too deserve some special care for myself, its just a matter of 10 more minutes... yeah.. will definitely try this and will share my experience..... thanks again
Omg i keep having this doubt about what to do with my hair on non wash days Like i do the CGM with the products when i wash my hair What do i do for the remaining week? Just leave them alone? I'm gonna do more research but this video has been so helpful thank you 😭✋
Hello Michelle i am from nepal I don't know what kind of curly hair I have But also I found out a lot by watching your video. Thank you very much for that.I will also start cgm soon. Thanks again and lots of love😊😊
❤️❤️❤️ try a styling routine a couple of times. Don't worry about hair type. I think you'll be able to figure out your hair pattern after you style your hair. All the best!
You can use wow. But before you buy their products though, I would suggest checking their US website for their full ingredient list. Tally it on the curlsbot or isitcg websites. Then only pick something up.
I always feel jealous whenever I watch your hair😘😘. your hair just awesome ❤️❤️.I really want to follow curly hair method but my mom doesn't give me permission.😔😔.I purchased all curly girl product now I am throwing all things in dustbin 😔😔.but I really like your videos . I am not following any thing but still watch your video ❤️❤️.
Maybe you could ask her to watch this video. Might clear things up? You'll get there. I bet your hair is beautiful too. Sending you lots of encouragement! ❤️
Hey Michelle. Big fan of you and your videos. Could you please upload one full fledged CG video that has everything right from shampooing to styling and drying-airdry/diffuse. I've watched a lottt of your content but I keep forgetting little tricks that you give in between. I keep forgetting how you style your hair and so on. One video that has everything in it will be really helpful for people like me🙈 Hope it makes sense🙈
Hi Michelle. Is it okay that I condition my hair lightly before I wash in order to remove product buildup? This is what I had learned in the past few years. I still condition again after washing. All I use is a leave-in curl styling cream as well as a deep penetrating coconut oil serum mostly for extra hydration and frizz but mostly just toward the ends of my hair. I'll admit however that I do reach for a touch of dry shampoo after 3 days just to refresh underneath my hair only a little on my scalp area, in order to eliminate odors and oils. I only get oily at my roots, but the rest is extremely dry. My hair doesn't retain moisture at all. None of the shampoo, conditioner or styling cream contains any of the bad stuff though. If you could suggest a better method for oily roots and odor eliminating/refreshing, as that would be great. ❤ I live in a very hot and humid climate at least 9 months out of the year in Texas, USA. Thank you so much for your content.😊
i have straight hair in upper/scalp part...amd curly in lower part..that’s why when i have small hair in Childhood no one can understood that i have curly hair,i discovered it when i started gorwing longer hair..i am so confused what should i do with my hair
Hii.. i have been doing chemical treatment for last 10 years and now i really wanted to go natural and this is my 2nd attempt to start cgm. Last year when i started using natural products my hair became more dry frizzy and unmanageable so i could not resist and did straightening again 😢 now my hair has grown 5 to 6 inches and here iam again watching your videos and getting confused where and how to start and really hoping for your help ❤
I have a playlist for beginners that will help you start. It might also be helpful to watch my playlist on transition tips. You'll find all the content you need.
I just did a squish n crunch with the conditioner ..n oh my god ..I was blown …excited to start this journey….was planning to go for smothering..but excited to embrace my curls
Iam a 14year old indian who live in kuwait and my hair is really frizzy, Iam not able to find much products here and my curls only look defined when it's wet
Hey sis! I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss the video with your pup in it! I know u have been busy so it’s possible u haven’t posted it yet but I obv don’t want to somehow miss it! Seems pretty hard for me to do that but just double checking!
@@MichelleManuel pls share those video link I just started watching today and found that I need this routine already ordered the moms co shampoo n fmc cream n I'm so excited to star t
Hello! I was wondering can I use a shampoo with Sulphates but without any silicon/paraban on my oiled hair? Or after I have used any pre-wash hair mask? Also is Johnson Baby Shampoo CGM approved? Was wondering if I could start with it. Thanks.
@michelle i have 2 a type hair and have been using sugar boo products. But the curls are not that defined after drying up. Please guide the suitable products thanks again
Hiii michelle👋 i always love your videos and the way you explain everything 🤩 i also have curly hair but i had smoothing treatment but now i am regretting on that. So can i start CGM method on my smoothing hairs and what products will be good on my hairs ?? Please ans this!!!!
Hey Michelle, thank you for the detailed video!! I have started cgm 2 weeks before, some portion of my hair ( top layer) becomes frizzy after my hair dries and doesn't form curl clumps. I have 3a medium porosity hairs, any tips for this?
Thank you so much Michelle for your past tips. Can you tell me what it means by following a good night routine for the hair? Also i have severe issues detangling my hair in the shower and experience a lot of breakage, can you tell me what I can do instead? Does it helps to detangle after pre-pooing and before getting into the shower (somehow even that is very painful 😣)
Check these out. Has all the relevant info you're looking for: ua-cam.com/video/R9VH-ij_uek/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/T3LsEW4wBoU/v-deo.html Detangling during preepoo does not work for me. I've seen it work for other people but i wouldn't dare. I would cause so much breakage that way.
Hey Michelle... I have started CGM after I got to know your channel. The results so far have been great, however I was a bit dissatisfied as I did not know my exact hair type. Finally after researching I know my hair type is 2c/3a, kinda like in between. Can you please, pretty please do a routine or anything related to this type. 💜
Hi Michelle, I just moved to India from the US and have been following your hair tips for the last 6 months. As soon I came to Delhi, I observed that I am experiencing way more knotting and dryness in the lower half of my hair using the same products. I am sure it might be attributed to the pollution. Can you suggest how to work through this. It gets very knotty by the time I reach wash day and I break and lose so much more hair. Please help!
The weather will definitely change how your hair lasts during the week. Try a dry refresh. If not, reduce the amount of time in between washdays. Also i would suggest trying products that are more moisturising compared to the ones you're already using. Sometimes when my hair dries up too much, i rub some curl cream into the lengths mixed with some water. If all fails, wash your hair when it starts tangling up. And follow a good night routine
I'm habituated to oil my hair the night before shampooing. It gives health to my hair actually, otherwise they starts fall. So, now I'm really look forward to start CGM. What to do now? Help me! I can't go without oiling before shampooing.
You can pre-poo your hair. But just be aware of what to expect. You can also have a look at my pre-poo to see how I pre-poo my hair. It might help you understand better.
Curl training is any method by which you train, teach or encourage the curls to form and behave over time. For example scrunching your hair in an upward motion. This will teach your hair to form curls or waves. Finger coiling, squish to condish and 2 strand twists are also a form of curl training. If you watch my wavy hair routine video, you'll see me demonstrate these techniques.
Hi Michelle.... started mostly tips given by you....I am having 2b 2C wavy hairs ...... staying in USA....using Cantu products... please help me find out good live-in..as I am not liking Cantu live-in...and any light oil which is useful as live-in...many thanks in advance..
@@arshkumar4236 if you're looking for something even lighter than the ones I've shown in the video, I'd say try the curl keeper leave in conditioner. It's very very light. Much lighter than cantu
Hi you are superb di😍😍😘. I have a doubt that weekly how many time should i shampoo? And how much time( months) wants to get better result from beginning? ❤️
I started CGM . BUT, What to do at sleeping time? ON first two days, It looks good. But on third or so on, my hairs look frizzy and lost their proper curls. Pls suggest something
I had smoothening done since 2012-2016, then switched to keratin treatment twice a year from 2016-2021, i had my hair botox treatment done last in February which lasted for three months and now i am back with my fried looking half straight at the end n half curly in the the roots...i really am feeling so pathetic but yes i just want to get rid of these yearly treatment...so i have decided to just leave evrything....i have bought mama Earth rice water shampoo n conditioner n using that now....when can i start CGM ? Coz As of now it's just the two inches from roots is the virgin curly wavy hair n rest all is the damaged fried hair
So I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to salon treatment. It's best to ask your stylist if your treatment was permanent or temporary. If it was a temporary treatment, you can start CGM.
Hi!
It's been a while. I lost my grandmother recently. It's been an emotionally devastating week for the family.
Thank you to everyone who felt like something was amiss and reached out.

I m gonna comb my hair before washing it nd wash then condition like 5-10min ,,then use diy leave in conditioner/aloevera gel,,squish it, that's all I can do for my hair, I don't have such patience or money to do this,, completely
You can modify as per your convenience. Theres no compulsion to follow CGM
@@MichelleManuel I want defined curls but I m broke, impatient that's the problem
I get it. But the thing that I've found with my hair is, the more time i spend on it, the better it looks.
You might enjoy my 5 min routine.
Minimal products and it takes only 5 mins. You can diy your products if you know how
Hey Michelle.. Your videos are really great and helpful. Thanks for sorting the videos and adding to playlists. Helps me choose just the videos I should watch as a beginner. So much to learn and long way to go. 😀
:)
Hope you are doing well. Your videos are always a boon
I was randomly searching on UA-cam about the haircare routine for my hair which I knew was dry frizzy hair before your thumbnail picture drew my attention that my hair category falls in Wavy hair 😅 . Ok, I have 2B type hair now I got to know..... I really liked the way how you explained the CGM for Indian beginners. I really want to start but just afraid if I would be able to do justice with cgm or not as I'm a mom of a 1.5 year old toddler... 😛😛😛
Thank you so much. A cgm routine does take a fair bit of time.
But you can do a simple rake and scrunch and do leave in + mousse. You'll be able to be done with your routine very quickly. It will take maybe 10 mins extra compared to your normal wash day. I think you could try it once and see if it works for you. But I also understand the time struggles for a new mum. Sending you the best. ❤️
@@MichelleManuel hey thank ypu so much for the reply.... inspite of being a mother, I'm a woman too and I too deserve some special care for myself, its just a matter of 10 more minutes... yeah.. will definitely try this and will share my experience..... thanks again
you r doing great stuff mam...thank u❣️
Thank you! ❤️
Take care Michelle. I hope your grandmother is in a better place where she is free from all her sufferings. May her soul rest in peace.
Thank you for your kind words Shreya! ❤️
Omg i keep having this doubt about what to do with my hair on non wash days
Like i do the CGM with the products when i wash my hair
What do i do for the remaining week?
Just leave them alone?
I'm gonna do more research but this video has been so helpful thank you 😭✋
I have an entire playlist on what you can do during the week. Check it out!

@@MichelleManuel thank you so much!! You're a saviour omg
My condolences to you and your family! Be strong 😊💪
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hello Michelle i am from nepal I don't know what kind of curly hair I have But also I found out a lot by watching your video. Thank you very much for that.I will also start cgm soon. Thanks again and lots of love😊😊
❤️❤️❤️ try a styling routine a couple of times. Don't worry about hair type. I think you'll be able to figure out your hair pattern after you style your hair.
All the best!
@@MichelleManuel First of all, thank you for the reply❤️For starter I have been thinking of Wow products. Whether it will be okay or not?
You can use wow. But before you buy their products though, I would suggest checking their US website for their full ingredient list.
Tally it on the curlsbot or isitcg websites. Then only pick something up.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I always feel jealous whenever I watch your hair😘😘. your hair just awesome ❤️❤️.I really want to follow curly hair method but my mom doesn't give me permission.😔😔.I purchased all curly girl product now I am throwing all things in dustbin 😔😔.but I really like your videos . I am not following any thing but still watch your video ❤️❤️.
Maybe you could ask her to watch this video. Might clear things up?
You'll get there. I bet your hair is beautiful too. Sending you lots of encouragement! ❤️
You have really motivated me❤
🤗🤗 please go for it. Only good things will happen if you're patient and willing to go in with an open mind.
Hey Michelle. Big fan of you and your videos. Could you please upload one full fledged CG video that has everything right from shampooing to styling and drying-airdry/diffuse.
I've watched a lottt of your content but I keep forgetting little tricks that you give in between. I keep forgetting how you style your hair and so on. One video that has everything in it will be really helpful for people like me🙈
Hope it makes sense🙈
I totally get what you're saying I'll try to make it happy. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
nice information 👍
Thank you! ❤️
This is a good video I'm enjoying it 4 months cgm here woot woot lol 👍💪😊❤
Happy 4 months!!!!!!! You're on your way!!!!! ❤️❤️
Hi Michelle. Is it okay that I condition my hair lightly before I wash in order to remove product buildup? This is what I had learned in the past few years. I still condition again after washing. All I use is a leave-in curl styling cream as well as a deep penetrating coconut oil serum mostly for extra hydration and frizz but mostly just toward the ends of my hair. I'll admit however that I do reach for a touch of dry shampoo after 3 days just to refresh underneath my hair only a little on my scalp area, in order to eliminate odors and oils. I only get oily at my roots, but the rest is extremely dry. My hair doesn't retain moisture at all. None of the shampoo, conditioner or styling cream contains any of the bad stuff though.
If you could suggest a better method for oily roots and odor eliminating/refreshing, as that would be great. ❤ I live in a very hot and humid climate at least 9 months out of the year in Texas, USA.
Thank you so much for your content.😊
If you're looking to remove product buildup, use a clarifying shampoo instead. It will work very well. You can also do an acv rinse.
I juz go blindly whenever yu suggest something❤...Please do review on Livon curl cream ....
I wish I would have found about this method during the time when I was at home and now my college is starting
I understand. I also only started during lockdown. :(
i have straight hair in upper/scalp part...amd curly in lower part..that’s why when i have small hair in Childhood no one can understood that i have curly hair,i discovered it when i started gorwing longer hair..i am so confused what should i do with my hair
Hii.. i have been doing chemical treatment for last 10 years and now i really wanted to go natural and this is my 2nd attempt to start cgm. Last year when i started using natural products my hair became more dry frizzy and unmanageable so i could not resist and did straightening again 😢 now my hair has grown 5 to 6 inches and here iam again watching your videos and getting confused where and how to start and really hoping for your help ❤
I have a playlist for beginners that will help you start. It might also be helpful to watch my playlist on transition tips. You'll find all the content you need.
I just did a squish n crunch with the conditioner ..n oh my god ..I was blown …excited to start this journey….was planning to go for smothering..but excited to embrace my curls
Thanks amazing! Good things are waiting to happen. Wish you lots of luck on your journey! ❤️
Michelle, u r my curl-twin

Iam a 14year old indian who live in kuwait and my hair is really frizzy, Iam not able to find much products here and my curls only look defined when it's wet
Lot of information in a single video. I am gonna start in a few days
Thank you!
Hey sis! I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss the video with your pup in it! I know u have been busy so it’s possible u haven’t posted it yet but I obv don’t want to somehow miss it! Seems pretty hard for me to do that but just double checking!
How is the dove hairfall rescue conditioner??
You said not to comb but I go to school so I need to plait my hair will it ruin it
You can braid your hair. The wave pattern will be slightly altered. But it still looks beautiful. I've demonstrated how it looks in a few videos.
@@MichelleManuel pls share those video link I just started watching today and found that I need this routine already ordered the moms co shampoo n fmc cream n I'm so excited to star t
Your videos have so much details and information.....just love it from Bangladesh 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much Fahmida! ❤️
Hello! I was wondering can I use a shampoo with Sulphates but without any silicon/paraban on my oiled hair? Or after I have used any pre-wash hair mask? Also is Johnson Baby Shampoo CGM approved? Was wondering if I could start with it. Thanks.
Hi
Leave-in conditioner left a thick layer of dust like feeling on the hair, kinda made the hair feel brittle. Is it okay to skip leave-in?
Can I use reetha as shampoo?alovera or flaxseed gel as conditioner? Can I wash my hair with water everyday?
@michelle i have 2 a type hair and have been using sugar boo products. But the curls are not that defined after drying up. Please guide the suitable products thanks again
Hi. You left me the same comment under multiple videos. I've answered this in your previous comment
Is Culvana Leave in good??
Hi I just want to start this routine
Pls help me with the shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, mousse
And I dn understand squish way

Please take care of yourself. ❤️❤️

Hiii michelle👋 i always love your videos and the way you explain everything 🤩 i also have curly hair but i had smoothing treatment but now i am regretting on that. So can i start CGM method on my smoothing hairs and what products will be good on my hairs ?? Please ans this!!!!
I don't think a styling routine will work on smoothened hair. :(
@@MichelleManuel okk so it means I have to wait for my actual natural growth!!
My dermatologist told me not to comb my hair while they are wet because it makes the roots weak
And the cgm states exact opposite
Confused
Don't wet detangle then. I've done a modified video on how to do a cg routine without any wet detangling
Hey Michelle, thank you for the detailed video!! I have started cgm 2 weeks before, some portion of my hair ( top layer) becomes frizzy after my hair dries and doesn't form curl clumps. I have 3a medium porosity hairs, any tips for this?
Please watch my pin curl refresh video.
You'll find it in my post washday hair care playlist
@@MichelleManuel thank you ❤️
Please suggest leave in conditioner for 2 a wavey low porosity hair
☺️☺️💓💓
I smoothened my hair 1 year before. Now half portion is straight and the remaining is curly.. will cgm work on my hair?
Thank you so much Michelle for your past tips. Can you tell me what it means by following a good night routine for the hair? Also i have severe issues detangling my hair in the shower and experience a lot of breakage, can you tell me what I can do instead? Does it helps to detangle after pre-pooing and before getting into the shower (somehow even that is very painful 😣)

Detangling during preepoo does not work for me. I've seen it work for other people but i wouldn't dare. I would cause so much breakage that way.

Didi if we use CG friendly shampoo to our already damaged hair then don't we need a clarifying shampoo?? Also will cg friendly shampoo clean our hair?
For regular use, a cg friendly shampoo is fine. For clarifying days, use a clarifying shampoo.
Ok di thanks alot❤❤
During CGM, are we not allowed to oil our hair ?
Hey Michelle... I have started CGM after I got to know your channel. The results so far have been great, however I was a bit dissatisfied as I did not know my exact hair type. Finally after researching I know my hair type is 2c/3a, kinda like in between. Can you please, pretty please do a routine or anything related to this type. 💜
Hey Shreya. You can apply any styling routine to your hair. Check out my playlist on styling techniques. Try them out and see what works best! ❤️
When we oil our hair then do these shampoos work? The sulphate free ones which are being recommended for our CGM journey…
I'd you pre-poo like this then yes

If you're doing a champi, then no chance.
Hi Michelle, I just moved to India from the US and have been following your hair tips for the last 6 months. As soon I came to Delhi, I observed that I am experiencing way more knotting and dryness in the lower half of my hair using the same products. I am sure it might be attributed to the pollution. Can you suggest how to work through this. It gets very knotty by the time I reach wash day and I break and lose so much more hair. Please help!
The weather will definitely change how your hair lasts during the week.
Try a dry refresh. If not, reduce the amount of time in between washdays.
Also i would suggest trying products that are more moisturising compared to the ones you're already using.
Sometimes when my hair dries up too much, i rub some curl cream into the lengths mixed with some water.
If all fails, wash your hair when it starts tangling up. And follow a good night routine
Thank you so much Michelle i will be trying just that!
Seeing you after a long time. Hows you?
Been better.
@@MichelleManuel Nice to hear that. Take care dear 😘😘.
Is the cgm same for high porosity but fine hair?
I'm habituated to oil my hair the night before shampooing. It gives health to my hair actually, otherwise they starts fall. So, now I'm really look forward to start CGM. What to do now? Help me! I can't go without oiling before shampooing.
You can pre-poo your hair. But just be aware of what to expect. You can also have a look at my pre-poo to see how I pre-poo my hair. It might help you understand better.

What is curling training? Can u explain in detail ? Is there video on it?
Curl training is any method by which you train, teach or encourage the curls to form and behave over time.
For example scrunching your hair in an upward motion. This will teach your hair to form curls or waves.
Finger coiling, squish to condish and 2 strand twists are also a form of curl training. If you watch my wavy hair routine video, you'll see me demonstrate these techniques.
Thank u for ur effort

I had smoothening done since 2012-2016, then switched to keratin treatment twice a year from 2016-2021, i had my hair botox treatment done last in February which lasted for three months and now i am back with my fried looking half straight at the end n half curly in the the roots...i really am feeling so pathetic but yes i just want to get rid of these yearly treatment...so i have decided to just leave evrything....i have bought mama Earth rice water shampoo n conditioner n using that now....when can i start CGM ? Coz As of now it's just the two inches from roots is the virgin curly wavy hair n rest all is the damaged fried hair
So I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to salon treatment. It's best to ask your stylist if your treatment was permanent or temporary. If it was a temporary treatment, you can start CGM.
