UPSIDE DOWN STYLING FOR VOLUME | REDUCE FRIZZ + AVOID WONKY ROOTS | 2B WAVY INDIAN HAIR 2021

[@krishamehta8837]

started my journey yesterday after seeing so many videos on your channel and let me say I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alishathomas4540]

After SOTC it was a jaw drop moment. The volume looks mad amazing🔥

[@MichelleManuel]

For me it was the post pluff! It always catches me off guard! ❤️❤️😂😂😘😘

[@amrapalidasgupta3103]

Love the volume! I prefer upside down as my hair is short, but I do agree that after sotc it falls on ur face and kinda gets in the way of everything.. Lol. But it's worth it coz of the volume... Love the way ur hair has transitioned.. Keep up with the encouraging videos and ideas ❤️❤️😁

[@MichelleManuel]

True true. Absolutely. Thanks for sharing pali ❤️❤️❤️

[@alishathomas4540]

Wet and damp styling also make difference right? So maybe you can consider doing a video demonstrating difference between the two.

[@MichelleManuel]

What I've noticed about upside down styling is.... Wavy hair + raking at any point + damp styling = stringy curls. No attempts at clump formation works after I've raked. That application of water after I applied the product was KEY!!!! It HAD to be done because I raked! I can't skip the raking bit either... On my hair praying hands or roping alone doesn't give me even product application. With high porosity hair, even a cm of hair doesn't get product and it looks dry. The even application is super key. Even a small mis-step and i have dry patches.

Hey Michelle I am in absolute love with you. I am started CGM very very recently, so it has literally been 3 days after my first wash. And I have followed almost all the steps you have talked about in your videos and I should say that they work like wonders. However, I would love to know about how I should create a moisture and protein schedule for myself. It would really halpful if you could guide me through it.

[@MichelleManuel]

Hey Debarati! Thank you! ❤️ So I do have a protein moisture playlist that you could watch. But I would rather you check out the cgm for beginners and curl hair transition tips, curly hair advice and motivation playlist first. Once you're done with those you can move on my protein moisture balance series.

[@anjanisharma127]

Amazing video Michelle 👏. I love the way you explain the tiniest of details. Also your curls are coming out well defined with each video. Just a silly question:- For someone who's living in harsh winters of North India and who doesn't has a diffuser( totally dependent on air drying), Can I air dry my hair in the sun after proper styling(using leave in conditioner and gel)? Like will air drying in the sun lead to any frizz in my hair after I sotc?

[@MichelleManuel]

Thanks Anjali! I'm having a good month in general. :) Ok so about winter, it's torture to air dry indoors. I did went out for a bit today as well and sun dried half way through. You'll see my results on my ig stories. Turned out ok.

[@michellesmith7979]

Please do a video on upright styling😊 im still transitioning and my results with upside down styling are awful.

[@MichelleManuel]

I have a few videos on upright styling on my channel. Check them out.

[@MichelleManuel]

Thank you so much. ❤️

[@leestark8611]

Holy shit, the volume after sotc!!! Going to try this next wash day with fix mycurls hair butter 😍

[@MichelleManuel]

I don't think it was because of the product. The hair butter is quite heavy and can cause low volume on hair types that prefer less moisture. I think upside down styling as a technique gives you loads and loads of volume.

[@bay6218]

Thank you so much for sharing your hair routines! Your hair is absolutely amazing!!!!! 🤩 I like to plop too, but afterwards the back of my hair always looks like a mess...... Especially the lower part 🙄 Do you have an advice for me? My hair is shorter than yours, the top layers are really wavy but my lower parts are

[@MichelleManuel]

Hi there! Maybe you're not using enough gel and so your hair is getting messy after plopping. when you style make sure your clumps are extremely well defined and robust. Your hair should feel slimy and seaweed like. Maybe have a look at my plopping video. That could help you out a bit with your plopping technique. If your hair is too short, try not plopping at all and see what happens. After you remove the plop, wet your hair slightly (only the areas that are messed up) and add some mousse. I've demonstrated how I do it in my log video. It helps a lot with the frizz caused by plopping.

[@alishathomas4540]

@@MichelleManuel wrong as in I never tried raking starting from the roots probably that made curls stick to the crown and ate the volume

[@MichelleManuel]

@@alishathomas4540 even if you don't rake, try lifting your hair off your scalp with your comb/brush. And do not forget the middle of your head ie crown section where the frizz is most noticeable.

[@alishathomas4540]

Hi Michelle. You said the tool used determines size of clumps. I didnt like the result of denman brush. Can you please explain how to choose comb?

Hi Michelle, what is the name of the conditioner you mentioned for detangling ?

[@MichelleManuel]

I can't remember off the top of my head. Did I mention it in this video?

[@neharathod31390]

How do you manage hair looking so good with just one wash per week? Scalp health.?

[@MichelleManuel]

It's a combination of things. Watch my dry scalp massage video, my shirolepam mask video, acv rinse video & my pre-poo video. That being said, washing once a week works for me. Doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you.

[@ojasvita3044]

Do you apply leave in conditioner to the scalp too?

No. Only on the lengths

Leave in Should be applied in dripping wet or damp hair.i do side parting so should i part my hairs before appling Leave in

[@MichelleManuel]

Great question. Some hair loves damp application (like mine) and some hair loves dripping soaking sopping wet application. I apply products on damp hair, then create my clumps on dripping soaking sopping wet hair. Again apply gel on damp hair. (How???? because high porosity hair dries really quick) You'll need to experiment a bit here. Upside down styling technically requires no parting because the modus operandi is to have the hair fall beautiful regardless of the part. If a parting is your preference, try upright styling a few times and see if it works for you. (Remember that upside down styling is the recommendation, if root volume is what you seek) Does this help?

[@ankitahanda9707]
