Curly/Wavy Hair Routine on a Budget 2022 | INDIAN Curly Hair | Beginner Friendly

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.

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.❤️

[@dikshitav7722]

Styling the hair is hard for sure...I have also started sporting my naked curls and saving the styling part for important days...

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

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!

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

[@rajeshmadathil7938]

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...

[@MichelleManuel]

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. :)

[@enigma5651]

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

[@MichelleManuel]

Someone's been paying attention. Good on you! Absolutely love it! ❤️❤️

[@enigma5651]

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.

@@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.

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.

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

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.

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?

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

[@pranjalee23]

Hi, I have a question - So, in this routine you skipped leave-in conditioner, right?

[@fahimatulislam5286]

[@angelicapinto674]

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

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

[@dikshitav7722]

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♥

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

[@dikshitav7722]

@@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 😊

[@MichelleManuel]

@@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. :)

Please help 🙏

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

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

[@MichelleManuel]

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).

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 😭

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

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?

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

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 😐

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.

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

I detangled my hair on the first day. On the second day I styled right after my shower. Got my hair wet then.

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.

[@robinamathur8329]

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

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

[@bharathinv1336]

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.

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 🥰🥰❤️❤️🤗🤗

[@swatiraisuraj]

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

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

[@MichelleManuel]

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

[@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.

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

[@niharikatiwari8959]

so that means one day shampo conditioner then dry detangle and after that next day just wash with normal water and they start they styling right with leave in and gel ..i hope this is what the exact step i have understood 😀

[@MichelleManuel]

Ya. I've done many variations of the routine. One is to do it all in the same day with wet detangling. One is to do a wash now style later with dry detangling and then you have a quick routine with leave in and mousse. Depends on you which you fits your routine, schedule and personal preference

[@stepheniyachukka7070]

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!

[@MichelleManuel]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4Gxd2Ctiq1qhdE 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.

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.

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.

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.
