Aren't you the best curl creator out there! You are making lives of so many curly and wavy heads out there easier. I absolutely adore your honesty and details on everything in your videos, I'm sure it takes alot of efforts to do the research, so thank you!😊 Also, what's your view on the curlvana products...they're catching up at a very quick pace in the market, especially due to their pocket friendly prices

Oh lord... Notifications are ditching me again. I'm from your insta post. Such a useful video Michelle ❤ Took lot of screenshots and definitely going to try out. Now for any newbies to cg out there... Girls and boys..., trust the process, trust this young lady. You'll get there. Now im in my second year of cg. I'm getting complements on my hair every single day. I've never been in this much love with my curls. Infact i never knew that my hair is curly. There are bad wash days, somedays my hair will look like a bird nest. Still im in love. I'm rocking all those days with lot of confidence. CG is just not the process, it is not just the beautiful hair everyday,, it is all about falling in love with your natural hair... I felt like quitting my cg journey, but because of this lady i stayed in. It's worth it... All my thanks to my 👑... You were there for me through out this journey, you motivated me to stay. Your kind words worked like a magic. Thank you for your service❤

Thanks! ❤️ Spread the word far and wide! CGM is not expensive (in 2023). Lol

[@shreesaverma1391]

Hey Michelle! First of all much love! ❤ I never realised I had wavy hair until I followed the trend on Instagram. Cut to me trying to find beginner friendly CGM routines but I was overwhelmed by the steps and terms others used. Until your video's suggestion popped up. Ngl! You SAVED me! I have been following your videos and honestly I was able to properly comb my hair after maybe months!!!!! Because I was suffering from AI diesease and nutritional deficiencies. After starting medication my hair became even more wavy/curly than it was since childhood. So I have 2b/2c mixed, low porosity hair that looks big when it dries. I have been using Arata curly hair cream (blue) and gel (yellow). But I have noticed that curl clumps form amazingly after squishing wet hair with the curl cream, feels like seaweed. But as soon as I put the gel it becomes flat straight, loses the curl clumps and feels dryish (even when wet). If I put more gel, it turns greasy. I've looked through all your videos but couldn't find a solution. I'd love suggestions!

Dear Michelle, I am entering my 40 and decided to embrace my curls. All these years didn't know how to take care of it. Can u make a video for low poroaity as u did for medium (u did for gaboo's previously) or suggest products for me because now there r many new in market. Mine is low porosity with dry scalp and dry strands. Based on your videos I have picked the below as my budget is tight Shampoo plum Conditioner northwish Leave in northwish Or arata Gel northwish

[@MichelleManuel]

I would not suggest the Northwish conditioner to you (low porosity hair) for use as a conditioner.. Rather I would suggest sticking to either of the conditioners mentioned in the section on conditioner. Preferably the babassu conditioner or the mom's co conditioner. For leave in you can do the Arata Leave in but on one condition. Start with a gel first. If you feel like you need more moisture then only add/buy a leave in. You can do the Northwish gel. It's a great bet. It won't weigh your hair down. Low porosity hair will get weighed down very easily. 2a to 3a low porosity may not need leave in at all. I've done a video on low porosity, medium porosity and high porosity. :)

And could you please explain d difference between a curl cream and leave in conditioner? Also can u suggest any affordable DC options for bleached and coloured hair? Theyve really dried out. I have 2b 2c curls. And high porosity. Thanks again!!!

[@MichelleManuel]

A leave in conditioner is supposed to be a lotion. And a curl cream is supposed to be a thick cream. Think of a leave in as a body lotion and a curl cream as a body butter or cold cream. In India however, brands do not stick to this ideology. Some curl creams are lighter than leave ins and vice versa. Which is why I put them both in the same category. For my fav high porosity products, you can check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKuYiIiGhrdsoMU

[@thakurpriyankarana]

Great video❤ thank you for the affordable options. I have a few very generic questions. 1. Have you tried arata hempocado oil (green bottle)? It sounds impressive to me as pre poo. 2. I can't find Giovanni gel anywhere. Can you suggest similar hard hold gel in the same budget category? 3. I've 2b/2c coarse, dry, medium density hair. My hair doesn't retain any moisture no matter what I do. It's perpetually dry, frizzy and extremely rough. Even shirolepam hair mask did nothing for me that's why I gave up and starting using silicones to kinda tame it down. Can you suggest a curl cream and gel accordingly? 4. My hair takes 10+ hours to dry and it is damaging my hair. Can you suggest a rather affordable blowdryer? I've been eyeing agaro one.

[@MichelleManuel]

Okay. I'll answer in points. -havent tried the hempocado oil. -youll find the Giovanni gel on nynm. It's also on my amazon storefront -if you're looking for moisture retention, you can watch my first and second video on my fav products. -i can't recommend something I haven't* tried. From experience I'll tell you, the cheaper diffusers can break when you drop them. Plus if the wattage is low, the diffuser will take eons to get the job done. Also even if you're super careful, you might drop the diffuser from time to time. Go for a good brand that's sturdy and lasts you for years. You also want to look for something that has temp and fan speeds with a cool shot button.
