How To Refresh Wavy Curly Hair Quick - Easy Wavy Curly Hair Refresh Routine

In this video I show you how I refresh my wavy curly hair really fast and quick. I use a leave-in conditioner and a gel on one side and a leave in conditioner and a mousse on the other side.
We're not getting our hair super saturated with water. We're not getting our roots wet either. It dries really fast, even faster if you use a diffuser. The diffuser gives me that added shrinkage and volume. But be careful to not diffuse your hair on high heat. When using a diffuser always opt for the low fan setting and alternate between the cool setting and the medium heat setting. Do not keep the medium heat setting on for more than 10 secs.
I know its easier, but its always damaging.
Please note that the diffuser is not mandatory. I have shown you how I use the same technique to refresh my hair minus the diffuser in my post workout refresh video (if I'm not mistaken)

It makes a huge difference especially if you have low to medium density hair. Using a light leave in and fluffing will give you so much added volume and lift at the roots. Definitely try it and laso remove the gel cast. It adds so much fluff and bounce to the hair.

That pin curl technique has been a life saver, I was my hair only on sundays and there have been a few times when I have had to suddenly go out with day 5 day 6 hair which usually is frizzier and less defined.

Hey Roch! Thanks! ❤️ I noticed that the mousse is not drying at all. There will be a small difference in the shine and gloss but it's not drying in the least and has very decent hold. Anyway when I'm refreshing I'm not expecting my hair to look like day 1 hair. So if you set your expectations accordingly, I think you might find it satisfactory.

The fact that I was able to help you embrace your natural hair in some way is a huge deal. I do not take it lightly. I'm sorry you were subjected to ridicule. It's such a universal experience that we all go through as textured haired people. I like to think of it in this way (maybe it will help) you took a perceived flaw and turned it into a strength. And now you wear it as a badge of honour. I'm really happy you found the channel, took the time to observe, listen and put things into practice. I can only imagine how gorgeous your hair is! I really appreciate you being here. I really appreciate this comment. I really appreciate the thought and sentiment that went into it. I'll be honest, it brings me to tears. Thank you for your words.

Another awesome and very helpful video by you loved it. Though I have a question for should I use flaxseed gel as leave in conditioner or hair mask?

[@MichelleManuel]

Flaxseed is a moisturising ingredient that also provides hold. If your hair doesn't need too much moisture in the form of a cream you can definitely use it as a one and done product while styling. Try it as a hair mask and see if it works for you. Depends on your hair entirely but definitely worth a shot.

[@sj4028]

Your home arrangement looks so good too. Can you share some ideas of indoor plants etc.

I don't have any purely indoor plants. Even if they say it's an indoor plant, I rotate them and keep my plants by sunny windows. I bring them inside the house for 2 to 3 days max.

Thanks so much for another helpful video!😊 My hair frizzes up a lot after scrunching. I get a LOT of halo frizz and it really stands out. Is this normal? Since scrunching is like the basics of CGM, so much frizz just doesn't make me want continue doing it😔 Have worked on my protein/moisture balance too. Any guidance?

[@MichelleManuel]

There are no scrunch challenges that you can watch on KZbin. Lots of ways to style your hair without scrunching. But I have a feeling it's not the scrunching (humour me). In the beginning of your journey your hair will look dull and frizzy. It's part of the transition process. It's also the silicone withdrawal that causes frizz. The excess build up and hard water. Also styling takes skill. You'll take some time to develop your skill for styling and product amounts. It's not as easy as it seems. There's lots of trial and error. My hair didn't look like this when I started. It looked awful. I quit as well. I have several videos where I talk about my advice and mistakes I made. My request is to experiment. If nothing else, follow a no scrunch video and see if it makes a difference. If it does, then only stop scrunching.

Using diffuser won't cause any damage to the hair??? And thank you so much for sharing all the tips and tricks it really helps alot ❤❤

[@MichelleManuel]

If you diffuse your hair on high heat it will be damaging in the long run. If you use it on the cool setting it won't be damaging. If at all you need heat you can switch it to the medium setting for a few seconds. With will be less damaging. Air drying also causes hair damage in the long run. So 'the dose of the poison' argument applies here.

[@mahasweta253]

Hey Michelle! This is such an easy refresh video, definitely trying it out. I have a query - how do you get to know if your hair needs more water while applying the gel? 🙂

[@MichelleManuel]

Brilliant question. So when you're refreshing quickly, you don't want to get the hair too wet. You want it to be on the slightly damp side. You're not looking for that squishy sound either (like when you style on washday). If you keep adding water till you hear the sound, the drying time will be way longer. So just check to see if the water you added is just enough to pat down all your fly-aways and broken clumps. That should be enough. One to 3 sprays of water should be enough if at all (depending on your length).

[@mahasweta253]

Got it, thank you so much! ❤️

Hi Michelle I also have hard water at my place and it has made my hair fall a lot. Also rough and dry. I have stopped using stylers, and hair is in a pathetic state. In place of leave in conditioner, can I use leave in cream?

[@MichelleManuel]

I'm not sure if hard water causes hairfall per say. I think if there's excessive build up on the scalp for a prolonged period of time, it could potentially lead to hair fall. Maybe try clarifying. Switch it a cream if your hair can take the weight.

[@manishamaharaj3962]

Hi Michelle, I love your videos as it has even helpful to me. I tried your beginner steps and it worked. But I seem to have dandruff, which I never have before and my curly hair is thin. So the night before, I generally use coconut oil and the next day, now I can take the steps you use in respect of non wash days. The antidandruff shampoo in SA is generally not for curly hair. Can I use any antidandruff before, I can get the right products from Amazon. I don't have a diffuser as yet, therefore it takes basically the entire day to dry as it's cold in SA. I also coloured my hair, would this have an impact as my roots where Going Grey and wanted my natural hair color back with the curls. Any advice. Thank you so much. God bless you 🙏 ❤

[@MichelleManuel]

Okay. I'll answer one thing at at time. Dandruff: are you sure you have dandruff or is your gel flaking? If you apply gel on hair that is not wet, it might look like flakes when it dries. So always apply on damp hair

My hair is not weighed down. Its just not holding the beautiful clumps I formed by spending 1.5 hours in shower.☹️ Any suggestion?

[@MichelleManuel]

Could you tell me which gel you're using? What if you go in with a mousse first and then double up with a gel. Or use a gel after you finish plopping? Or start on slightly damp hair instead of wet hair. There's a lot you can do. Don't give up just yet.

Also, because my hair wasnt weighed down at all from gel. Damp styling always gave me frizz. So I do wet styling. I do upside down styling, and sometimes I have tried plump method for thicker clumps. I plop for 40 mins and carefully hover-diffuse.

Hi anu, i know its been a while and maybe u solves the problem already, but id suggest you try plopping for 15min instead of 40, that should keep more moisture in your hair, maybe thats something you could do :)

[@anud5793]

@@Walkingtalkingprayer Thank you for your reply. I agree with your plopping suggestion. And the 15-20 mins works great, if I have done damp styling with lighter products. Lately, I have realized I need little more moisturizing leave-in/curl cream and gel, to maintain the definition and clumping until next wash. Plopping time would be little more required here, because the product has to form 15-20% cast, before I can start diffusing. Otherwise, I have to dry my hair close to 50mins, which is painfully long.

Use a serum. I have a video on cg serums in India. It should help within reason. Your best bet is a good set of hairstyles... They help to disguise frizz like crazy when you first start. In the beginning you're going to have lots of frizz. It's going to take time before you perfect your styling routine. Once you do it will settle down to a great extent. After that you'll need to clarify and maintain protein moisture balance. And then you're good to go

Hi Michelle, i started CGM journey, itz been 10 days. But when i am not washing my hair for 3-4 days, dandruff is comingon my scalp. Usually i don't have dandruff, but when i dont clean my hair properly or for long period, it comes. Need your suggestion. Please advise

[@MichelleManuel]

Would it be possible for you to wash with either a more cleansing shampoo or wash a little more frequently? I have zero experience with a scalp scalp. I might not be the best person to ask. But it sounds concerning. If your scalp itchy as well? Do you feel like washing a little more regularly will help the issue? Would you be able to style your hair if you wash more frequently? What if you did a simple rake and scrunch with a leave in + mousse (lesser drying time) Have a look at the video and see if it's feasible. Could we rule out possible product allergies/build up? I'm know I'm throwing suggestions out there. Let me know what you experience if you decide to change any of these factors in your routine.

@@MichelleManuel no itchy scalp, 3rd day i feel like some oil buildup on my scalp, hair strands look fluffy. Washing a little more regular might help and will be able to do styling as well but is it advisable in CGM JOURNEY

[@MichelleManuel]

If it's oily then dry scalp massage for 7 mins. It will help to move the oil lower to the strand. I've noticed that it helps me. About your other concerns I just replied to your other thread.

Which is the diffuser you have used here?

[@MichelleManuel]

Hi Swetha! I've listed it in the description.

[@jumaniqbal8206]

Can you please tell me your hair colour shade?

[@MichelleManuel]

I have a video on my hair colour. Please have a look.

[@92tanushree]

Isn't using diffuser against the whole logic of CGM? Why are we using heat? I don't understand

[@MichelleManuel]

Diffusers for curly hair have this setting called cool. You also have a low fan setting. You can diffuse your hair using the no heat and low fan setting.

Hi Michelle... Could u advise on how to carry curly hair with helmet?

[@MichelleManuel]

Would it be possible to line your helmet with satin? Buy some satin fabric and try to use some fabric glue and see if it holds. If not, wear a satin scarf underneath your helmet.

[@jananinatarajan8395]

I'm from Pakistan And I have also curly hairs Which Pakistani curly hair products I used..? Plz sis guide me Love from Pakistan ❤️

[@MichelleManuel]

Hi Shizza. So if you look up curly hair products in Pakistan, you will find 2 youtubers, Bhaloo and Plantbasedpakistani. They have some curly hair turtorials on their channels. So after I did a bit of digging, I see that you guys don't have amazon in Pakistan. I'm guessing the creators bought from Amazon in the states and had it shipped. (Which means they probably had to pay customs). This would be a super expensive affair. My advice to you is this, follow the techniques and routines but don't follow cg. Look for any shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner and gel that you can find there (that suits your budget). CGM is one method of taking care of curls but it's not the only method out there. Lots of textured people use silicones and sulphates and their hair looks great. So don't fuss about products. Use whatever you can find there.

Can I air dry my hair instead of using defuser ?

[@MichelleManuel]

Yes absolutely. It will take longer to dry is all.

How to prevent frizz when travelling

[@MichelleManuel]

Maybe get or make a pineapple keeper? Or see if you're comfortable using a satin scarf while travelling.

[@celienjes1545]

@@MichelleManuel yes i can, but i travel in my college bus i mostly sit on window seat. And its almost 1hr travel so i can't stop myself from sleeping/leaning back and it makes my hair look more frizzy🤧

[@MichelleManuel]

@@celienjes1545 maybe try a pineapple keeper. It's cute and will protect your hair while you travel. You can either buy or make one yourself. It's simple enough.

If we use a leave in conditioner, will the hair foam up if we get wet in rain?

[@MichelleManuel]

Hehehe, no no, I just shook the bottle like a crazy person which is why it formed bubbles. It's not going to bubble up on your hair. 🤭

[@betiyan1256]

Does this really work? How do u guys get time everyday..everyday 20 mins just to do this..A little impractical
