RAKE AND SCRUNCH METHOD

[@lindale17]

I've been experimenting non-stop because I'm transitioning and every routine has taken so long that its almost painful to style! I can't wait to try this technique thank you!!

[@MichelleManuel]

That's amazing to hear. Yup. Go for it! This technique is simple enough. 💯💯

[@suri8599]

Yay! This video is made for me! Thank you Michelle! Your videos are always so well done. I've been binge watching you for the past week.

You guided me to this video in comments of your hair porosity video. And trust me this is the best video I have come across and I'll tell you why. I am from those people who have an immense urge to detangle (with comb) their hair every time they step out of their house and then my 2b hair would look like a fluffy freezy ball. But now Michelle has come to my rescue. I definitely am in the team of comb and define in less than 5 minutes.

[@MichelleManuel]

That's awesome. Once you see what your hair starts looking like, you will be tempted to do more. I know for sure. Take baby steps, the more your hair changes the more you'll be hooked. I promise! ❤️

Writing this after trying. Thanks Michelle for constantly making my curl journey easy. Rake and crunch works like a wonder technique with such little effort. And if you are using satin pillow covers it can last too for another two days. ❤️❤️Gives great definition and such soft curls.

I'm so happy this technique worked for you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also a little kicked to hear that you're using a satin pillowcase! 😘

[@uchihasclub5324]

my hairs are really long even when they're curly like they go almost below my waist so it takes so much time doing them and I am still 15 years old I also have 2b/2c curls thanks for your videos :)

[@vidyadharmarajan5746]

I alternately use both the techniques. Plz do a video on haircuts for curly hair. Curly haircuts are super expensive or not done correctly in salons. All hairdressers wet ur hair b4 cutting. I have been trimming my own hair since a year as a reason. I hope u can share some light on this topic. Loving ur content so much as u give so many options of doing the same thing. I actually was so overwhelmed with the info online. With ur channel my curly hair woes r sorted.🤩😍🥰😘

[@MichelleManuel]

Curly cuts would be a topic for a professional hair stylist. I have a diy haircut video on my channel but it's a diy I did because of the pandemic. Not a professional cut at all. However, I want to go in for a dry cut. I'll film the process and also ask the stylist to speak on curly haircuts.

[@MichelleManuel]

Lovely to hear. Sometimes we all struggle with definition near the roots. It takes a bit of time and the right styling routine. Try to root clip. I have a video on it that will help you get some definition at the roots, making the hair look like it curls from the roots.

[@MichelleManuel]

Hi Shreya! Every styling technique shown on this channel can be applied to both wavy and curly haired individuals. The only difference will be that wavy hair gets wavy results and curly hair gets curl results. However if you're looking for the best curly styling technique I would recommend looking for finger coils, fingers rolls, Denman twist and Denman rolls and brush twists. I'll be making those technique videos very soon. However I must add that those specific techniques give you incredible definition but are super tedious and take lots of time to do and master.

[@MichelleManuel]

Products absolutely. Basically wavy curly and kinky hair is grouped colloquially & loosely as curly hair. Based on your porosity and need for moisture certain products are better suited than others. But yes, in* general, they can all be used by both wavy and curly individuals. :)

[@MichelleManuel]

I am so sorry you're facing this. Rice water is tricky. The first thing you need to do is clarify. I have a video on clarifying shampoos else have a look at my amazon store. You'll find clarifying shampoos of different prices. You'll also find protein and moisture products listed in different sections. I also have videos on protein moisture balance and a budget cg products video. Id rather you hear my thoughts on each before making a purchase. Please get yourself a clarifying shampoo first and foremost. First clarify and abort any styling for a few days. See if the situation gets better. For now until you wait for the shampoo to arrive, you can do an acv rinse if you have apple cider vinegar at home. I'm a little worried about the hairfall. Protein overload shouldnt cause such excessive hair shedding. Would you consider consulting a doc on an online app?
