HOW TO START THE CURLY GIRL METHOD IN INDIA | How to Start the Curly Girl Method for Wavy Hair
In this video, I have tried to give you my best advice and tips on how to start the curly girl method if you're living in India. I've been on CGM for a while now. I was thinking to myself, if I had to watch one video, my first ever video on CGM, what would I have wanted to hear? What did I wish someone had told me? What would have made things simpler for me?
What are the most crucial bits of information and advice I needed to have before starting? What CGM tips did I need in order to prepare myself before starting my curly hair journey? What are some of the characteristic cgm-esque feelings that nobody talks about? How could I mentally prepare myself for what was to come? How is my hair going to feel when I start CGM. What should I be prepared for before taking the plunge into my curly hair journey? This video is my best attempt at summing it all up in a way that is palatable.
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! Anywhizzle, 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.

@@MichelleManuel Can we use hair butter instead of live in conditioners?

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

I was randomly searching on KZbin 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... 😛😛😛

[@MichelleManuel]

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. ❤️

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.😊

[@MichelleManuel]

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.

During CGM, are we not allowed to oil our hair ?

[@bhagyashreedhande4887]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGq5eWCfn8Som80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/imSvpHiNadx1pbc 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! It's my 7th month into CG journey, in the beginning I used to wash my hair once a week, and it felt alright, my hair felt free from dirt after washing, but now I can't stretch it for more than 5 days, I mean my hair gets super dirty by 5th day and I have to wash it. Would it hamper my hair? Also earlier in the beginning I didn't use to apply the shampoo to the length of my hair, but now if I don't do it, my hair feels greasy after washing it.

[@MichelleManuel]

I think you need to clarify your hair asap. You might have build up. Please do an acv rinse and also do a clarifying wash. You'll find clarifying shampoos on my amazon storefront. I think maybe you have scalp and length buildup. Maybe it's also time to cut back on the amount of oil/butter you're using. Do a one week detox and see how your hair feels.

[@abriyasultan8729]

When we oil our hair then do these shampoos work? The sulphate free ones which are being recommended for our CGM journey…

[@MichelleManuel]

I'd you pre-poo like this then yes kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn64lI1onq6fe68 If you're doing a champi, then no chance.

[@imtiwalaimchen2962]

Hi dear, I recently discovered your channel and iam at shock!!! Never did I know that CGM exist. Only now I realize what my hair actually is meant to be. I should say that my hair type is between 2a-2b. When I oil my hair or when it's wet it gets more curls but as it dries up, the curls become loose. I have watched most of your contents on the methods and product reviews. But as a newbie, iam so confused on which product to start with. For once, I thought of trying Fix My Curls products but iam still not confident. So if you can please suggest me with the most needed products and method. Your feedback will be truly appreciated☺

If you watch this video that you've commented under, you'll see that your question has been anticipated & answered.

Can I wear a plat with this curl?

[@ethclsc8938]

I have shoulder length hairs nd started my CGM journey from yesterday only, nd used the same products which are being mentioned in this video. But just the next day after the CGM day I have no curls left in my hairs they just look like a frizzy blob of hairs over my head. I couldn’t find what is wrong exactly, is it possible I am straight hair type or something. Plz help

[@MichelleManuel]

I made this video called this is why your curls don't look good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3awq5t5lLiWqpI Check it out basically there's a learning curve. Another playlist that you'll find helpful is my CGM transition tips playlist

Hi from your new subscriber 🤗 Just came across your channel 💖 Let me tell you , You are so beautiful and your voice is so sweet🌟🌟🌟🌟 Dear, please answer my query, I started using curly products (silicon and sulfate free ) since April. I have ironed and heated my hair for more than 10 years but now I want to keep my curls healthy. On a wash say when I apply leave in \mousse , I still see frizz and the hair next day looks horrible and dry. I wear a bonnet and use silk pillow case as well. Please suggest me what am I lacking? It will be a great help.

[@MichelleManuel]

Hey Tarika. You're not alone. Our hair takes time to transition. I also straightened my hair to filth for a decade plus. It takes a bit of time for your hair to improve. Your styling skills improve with time as well. For motivation you can watch my hair journey videos. I've taken you from month 1 to month 12. Also watch my beginner playlist and my curly hair advice, mistakes and transition tips playlist. With time, patience and protein moisture balance, you hair will improve drastically.

Hello. I use loreal Xtenso shampoo and conditioner. Can you please tell me if this CGM method would work with the same

[@MichelleManuel]

I only use cruelty free product. I don't use loreal so I have no idea.
