I am so happy we have another leave in cream in the market! Level 3 leave ins are the best for me as well but their shrinkage is okay. This one seems pretty promising! I'm going to wait for your detailed review and make up my mind!. Also thank you so very much for this detailed first impressions, your reviews are so promising. Thanks Michelle you are an amazing person ❤
I think the shrinkage happened because of the Arginine. I'm excited to do some more experimenting. I'll probably test it with a gel and do some comparison shots in my next monthly favs video. I'll keep you posted. Excited! x Also thank you! 🤗
I JUST bought the mousse during the easter sale on sublime life. I love foams and mousses. Since im 2A-2B low porosity i think this is going to be a good addition. Thank you for reviewing it!
A much needed review video. I was interested in True frog for a long time, but didn't had courage to buy it 'cause one it's expensive and second I had a high porosity- more than medium curled hair which became excessive brittle only within a few months.But your channel gave me some hope and I learnt a lot about my hair type. Now I'm want to try true frog.let' s hope for the best for my hairs.🙏
Anybody watching this video and using this shampoo for curls experienced an itchy scalp?! I am a first time user and I have experienced this on both wash days , first time w a pre-poo and second day without it. I have also experienced the itching on my forehead and eyebrows and it remained . The shampoo did clean well, left my hair with curls and moisture unlike other shampoos but the itching remained as well. I bought it w hard earned money and I feel uncomfortable switching so quickly. If anybody isreading this and can relate please share your experience and help a girl with curls out . P.s.- I haven't noticed or had any rashes from the itching anywhere. They just itch too much at the roots and in places where the shampoo touched while being washed down.
Super helpful video. Always wondered about this brand. Will try the mousse for sure. Michelle, can you also please review Cantu range? I quite like the leave in conditioner for its hold and moisture retention, but haven't tried their other products. It's quite reasonable for the qty too, way cheaper than any of our other Indian products such as Arata and Curl Up
Thanks Vidya. The cantu products are not cruelty free so I won't be able to try them. I don't use products that are tested on animals. Every product you see featured on this channel is cruelty free.
What if I buy just shampoo and conditioner will it not be good? I mean I have slightly wavy hair .... i dont want to hold my curls though i just want mosturized frizz free hair
PLEASE HELP me. I started using this method and true frog products, my hair became curly but it was still frizzy, The main problem is, I stopped using comb and now on the shampoo day when I'm using comb, having massive hair fall! WHAT SHOULD I DO! PLEASE HELP!
heyyyy a query.. when i wash my hair and dry them the curls are gorgeous but when i comb my hair it becomes as frizzy as grass tbvh more than grass i can say... what am i supposed to do cus my mom doesnt let me stay alive without me combing my hair everyday 😭
Part your hair neatly, when conditioning and styling, so that u can keep the part throughout the week, change the part regularly. And, show your mom the before and after combing, to convince her I guess.. Massage your scalp 5min daily instead of combing Try to make your curly hair look neat
Hi Michelle… What about the fragrance of the shampoo, leave in conditioner and mousse? I’ve an extremely sensitive nose… Did it trigger your migraines?
I was waiting for this video.... I am using true frog shampoo and conditioner and I am totally loving it. ❣️ Now I will try leave in and mousse too.... Thank you 🥰
Hey...i am very confused between the shampoos which i have to use....cam u please advise me a good shampoo conditioner hair mask and a livin cream Is Anveya curly hair range a good choice ??
Omg I was waiting for a review of this brand! Was thinking of trying their conditioner and mask. Btw I didn't know you used a conditioner before deep conditioning. I thought we were supposed to do either.
Bdw everytime i style my hair looks great but my crown lacks density. It has medium volume but for some reason there isn't much density like i can see my scalp and my hair falls into a part on its own. so i was wondering if it is because my hair is usually weighed down. I use the curl up cream (a pea sized amount per section), 1 drop of olive or jojoba oil and enliven blue gel. I comb and scrunch to style and apply products by raking, roping and praying depending on how much hair each section has.
Try upside down styling or root clipping. See if it makes a difference. Scalp visibility happens with low density and low medium density hair. I dont think it's about the product weight. I think it's about not starting your clumps at the root and being strategic with your sections when you style.
@@MichelleManuel will definitely try that! Honestly at this point you are like a personal curly hair specialist for me 😂 And it's funny how despite being miles apart you are more helpful than most stylists and specialists in my reach cuz non of them actually treats curly hair as a special type!😩They just treat it like straight hair 🥲
Hi can you suggest a good shampoo , conditioner and mouse for low porosity wavy hair with oily scalp. If I use any other product than sampoo and conditioner my hair tends to weight down but in general my hair is dry
I bought shampoo and conditioner for all hair types from true frog and that literally increased my hair fall 4x and took so much of water to get the soapiness removed from the hair. Total waste of money
Hairfall can happen when you make the switch to sulphate and silicone free products. When I started cg I experienced some hair fall for sure. Losing hair while detangling can also happen when you're new to detangling on the curly girl method. Detangling does take some practice. Hair loss can happen when an allergic reaction occurs. It's terrible when this happens, but it does in fact happen sometimes when we're allergic to an ingredient. I've experienced an allergic reaction once to a different product and so I know just how traumatic it can be. :(
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I spoke to them about this twice. They've said they'll get back with an update on Monday. So sorry for the inconvenience!
hey i never purchased shampoos particularly for my curly hair so do u suggest me trying true frog products are they worth it or should i go for other products ?
@@MichelleManuel thanks for replying to my comment i have no idea what pre pooing is i kinda googled it up but i placed order for the true frog shampoo conditioner and leave in conditioner as u reviews about it are good i am going to give it a try :)
After starting cgm 1st few days my hair was looking truely beautiful. But after somedsys my hair got frizzy. Could you please help me on that. I am using northwish shampoo, conditioner, arata cream and gel.
Curly hair does not look great on all days of the week. Everyone's hair looks frizzy post day 2 and 3. It's a very normal part of accepting CGM. On those days you use a serum and wear your curls in a hairstyle. Try an updo. Make something else the focal point of your look. I posted a reel about this recently.
Trust your reviews blindly Ordered the true frog leave in cream and the curl up gel I loved the results curl up leave in cream gives me but I noticed lot of flakes and itchy scalp. After the mention of dmdm hydantoin I'm a little skeptical. So switched to true frog
You know what though? They've removed the dmdm hydantoin now! Anyway, use less of the true frog leave in cream. It's heavier than the curl up cream. It will surprise you but a little bit goes a long way.
@@MichelleManuel can u make a video on how to decide how much leave in/ cream is enough for your hair? I used exactly 8 grams curl up curl cream and my hair looked amazing until day 4, just as u suggested. But I did the same thing with Tru frog and my hair is weighed down 😭
Yes. Absolutely. I agree. With the true frog you need very very little. You can squeeze the section of hair between your fingers to see if it has enough product. Or if* you have a measuring spoon or weighing scale, you can use the trial and error method and note down each reading and compare results with pictures. That's what i do. I always measure the amount per washday and compare results.
Totally depends on you. If you hair can take a heavy dc on every washday then go for it. If your hair requires a lighter product the conditioner is better.
This is how i generally go about it, if i see that the packaging says that it's a scalp treatment, then i use it on the scalp. If the packaging does not mention that a mask is scalp safe, i don't use it on my scalp. On those weeks i use a pre-poo that will moisturise my scalp and take care of scalp health in general
Hello michelle, i have your hair type but low porous, and my hair recently got overloaded with protein so i switched to some moisture rich products and now its fine...but if i continue using just moisture related products i'll end up overloading my hair with moisture. So can you refer any light protein products be it leave in or cream
I think you should watch my playlist on protein moisture balance. I've explained how to incorporate both protein and moisture in your washdays. It's a lot to explain in one comment reply. Have a look. You'll find everything you're looking for
Hi...very helpful video...What about the smell of these products?? Are they fragrance free...Can you please suggest some fragrance free options available in India?
The true frog range is Australian certified allergen free with regard to fragrance. Earth rhythm has a fragrance free range. Some of the products break me out so I won't review them
@@MichelleManuel Thank you so much! I am allergic to many things and get migraines also due to the fruity smell in many products. Hope this one doesn't have that. Will try for sure.
Then use the Earth rhythm products to be safe. I get migraines too. But my triggers are warm fragrances. I'm okay with this range but I can't speak for you.
hey michelle i am planning to buy the true frog dc hair mask, but a little skeptical about the cornstarch extract and vinegar with tamarind extract.will it dry out the hair ? i have really high porosity damaged hair
The mask is quite hydrating on my hair. If you're looking for products for high porosity hair check out the video I did on products for high porosity hair ua-cam.com/video/-Z3XomyZtVA/v-deo.html
@@MichelleManuel hey i did watch the video, i have a doubt though..some people are telling that the dc has to be used with a normal conditioner to avoid frizz. can i skip the conditioner? i mean just the shampoo then the dc the styling as usual?
It's not *a light weight formula. It's moderately thick and creamy. Comparatively moisturising. I did do a comparison video which might help you understand the leave in compared to others in the market. ua-cam.com/video/Zz5WUPQR9jc/v-deo.html
I don't lose hair when I'm styling. But when I use a brush to style or when I flip upside down i find myself losing a couple of strands of hair on occasion. I generally use a comb because it's much easier on my hair compared to a brush
