Hi there! I’m Pallavi, a curly hair blogger from Delhi, India. Welcome to my blog where I show you how to take care of your naturally wavy curly hair with easy tips, video tutorials and product recommendations.
Chances are if you grew up with poofy, frizzy hair, you too were bullied throughout school and hated your hair.
Medusa, ‘jungli’ (wild), jhaadu (broom) unkempt, frizzy, maggi are all nicknames I was called. I was jealous of the girls around me that were so ‘lucky’ to be born with straight hair.
Media didn’t show women with my type of hair, unless it was to show how to transform it with serums and products (that never worked ugh). This self loathing led to low self esteem and confidence.
Here’s a picture of how my hair used to look a few years back-
I so desperately wanted to feel good about my hair that I even got it chemically straightened one day which gave me silky straight hair for a few months…
And then it became extremely damaged. I lost a LOT of hair.
Then one day, I found articles online on how exactly I should be combing and styling naturally dry& frizzy hair. The tips in this blog are from years of experimentation that led to loving my hair, even on its wild frizzy days.
If you too are tired of ironing your hair each time to ‘look good for functions’ or don’t want to get keratin, rebonding or smoothening done- then congrats you’re at the right place!
Start by reading through the blog posts I have linked below.
If you don’t believe it can happen to you, check these testimonials of the girls who decided to trust my blog.
Ready to start? All the best and welcome to a wonderful new journey!

atHi Pallavi ,
LOVED your blog and information . Really I was hating my hair too, as I did not know the right techniques, products and I started to follow CG method (since June 2020) for my very color treated dry straight hair , which has turned out to be wavy now (omg I did not know I have wavy hair ).Now they are more softer , shinier.
Please suggest some good tips to manage hair at a beachy vacation or at a humid place , my hairs looked like mess in my vacation photos.
BIG THANK YOU,
Sakshi

atHi Sakshi, thank you! Glad you liked the blog! As for humid places, try to avoid products, especially styling, that have glycerine as an ingredient. Next, always use a gel last to keep definition longer! Also, messy hair on vacations is absolutely normal. Learn to groove with it haha!

atHi pallavi! I am planning to start my cgm journey. You are the most promising and real youtuber i could find. My question is is the new loreal Paris 6 oil hair serum cgm friendly?
Is the serum to be applied after using gel?
Pallavi Juneja
atAw thanks Alisha! I will be more regular on Youtube this year so stay tuned! Also, no that serum is not Cg Friendly. Most serums have silicones. You can skip serums and add a few drops of light oils like almond, jojoba at max if you want some shine

atSo excited to finally begin my wavy journey! Sadly, I am a law student and my dress code requires braids or updos. Can you do a post about styling braids and buns in both wash and non-wash days, pretty please?
Pallavi Juneja
atYes I’ll do one! But until then, just do this. Follow the full routine = shampoo+ conditioner+ comb+rinse+ apply leave in/curl cream and then comb once and then comb into a plait. Combing with product on and when it’s wet will take care of the frizz and hydration
