Born from Frustration, Built for You

In 2017, I was just like you—struggling with curls that wouldn’t behave. I tried everything, but nothing worked because the products were loaded with ingredients that actually made things worse. 

Furious, I took matters into my own hands, starting a Facebook page in November 2017,  selling my flat to research, test, design and formulate a solution that works! 

We don’t just talk the talk—our results have earned us being selected for Channel 4, BBC, Netflix. 

But the real reward?

Thousands of transformations and 320K+ curls thriving.

Awards for Innovation within the industry, Business Woman of The Year,  Women in E-commerce,  Customer Service,  Best Curly Hair online resource, Theo Pathitis (Dragons Den) Business Award and more. 

Yerp that's me - Heather K founder of CGMC™️ 2015 until recently.

It's been a journey i've done so much trial & error in my own journey and the journey of the 320,000+ people in the community I built so that you don't have to - how wonderful is that! 

For years, I tried to fit into someone else’s idea of what I should look like or how I should show up. Now I know better, and I’m here to help other women see the same thing: that they’re already amazing, exactly as they are. It’s just about finding the easiest routine to bring that to life.

I’ve been where you are. My before and after tells the story—of trial, error, and finally, transformation. Now, I’m here for yours.🚀 No more wasted products. No more guesswork. Just results.

Curls with a cause

Curly and wavy hair is beautiful—but access to what you need isn't always easy. 


I realised this firsthand when I was in the hospital with sepsis in 2022. The standard shampoo and tiny comb,  I smiled and said thank you but knew I wouldn't be able to wash my hair until I was home.   

Times can be tough—whether it’s a teen who can’t afford the right products, a mum in a DV shelter, or someone navigating chemo curls.

That’s why £5 from every full-price Starter Kit sold goes into a fund to help those in need. When someone lands in my inbox struggling, we can send them a kit, no questions asked.

We also donate Co-Washes & tools to hospitals, DV shelters, and local women’s refuges. Even our few returns (less than three a year!) get paid forward.

Soon, we’ll be launching pay-it-forward options so our community can help us spread even more curl love. Because everyone deserves to feel good about their waves & curls—no matter their circumstances.

Sustainibility

Caring for curls shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. That’s why we’ve built sustainability into everything we do—from the way we formulate to the packaging we use. 

Sustainability Over Profit– Proudly formulated in the UK to UK standards and compliance.  We chose our manufacturer  as they are using technology to reduce there carbon footprint through reduced water consumption, heating, electricity, light, and use bicycles to commute across the vast site.

Recyclable Packaging– Every product we create is designed with sustainability in mind. Our bottles and packaging are fully recyclable, minimising waste.

Glass Where It Matters– If a product requires a non-recyclable plastic, we opt for glass alternative.

Clean Ingredients,Conscious Choices – Our products are made with clean, carefully selected ingredients that serve waves & curls—without unnecessary additives or fillers. 

No Returns to Landfill –We have one of the lowest return rates in the industry, and when we do receive returns, they are donated to DV shelters and women’s refuges, never sent to landfill.

We order in large quantities to reduce shipping whilst some of our products are handmade with love.

CGMC™ Ingredients vs. Other Brands            

CGMC™ – Designed for soft, healthy curls

❌ Other Brands – Common culprits that cause issues

They told me it couldn’t be done. They said it was impossible.

I spent a fortune on experts who failed to make it happen, only to be told again and again that removing eight core ingredients—especially the itchy M’s—just couldn’t be done.


But here we are.  Through science, passion, and sheer determination, we created products that truly serve waves & curls—without the nasties.

No Silicones– We won’t build up or weigh down your hair

❌ Silicones – Other brans use silicones they can coat hair, causing dryness

No Coconut Oil– Prevents stiff brittle dry hair

Coconut Oil– Works at first but then stiffened hair over time
No Sulfates– Gentle, non-stripping cleanse

❌ Sulfates – Harsh, often drying

No Drying Alcohols– Locks in moisture

❌ Drying Alcohols – Can cause frizz & brittleness

No Heavy Butters- Avoids greasy buildup

❌ Heavy Butters – Often too heavy for waves & curls

No Waxes– Prevents product buildup

❌ Waxes – Can suffocate curls

No Protein in Core Products– Balanced hydration

❌ Too Much Protein – Can leave curls stiff & dry

No Itchy M’s– No irritating preservatives

❌ Itchy M’s – Found in many mass-market formulas

Why the leopard print

When you see our bottles covered in leopard print, we want you to think—Wow! Alike to the stunning unique spots of a leopard where no two are the same!  We too as wavies and curlies are naturally beautiful, wonderfully unique, stunning, and one-of-a-kind.

My letter to you

Founder of CGMC™️ CGM Club™️ and all things here!  From formulating, designing, building our wonderful community I want to share WHY I am hear and what CGMC™️ is really all about.

Dear wavies & curlies worldwide, 


This is my why, it's for YOU.

She no longer feels less than for her huge, unruly waves & curls.She attends events with her hair just how she wants it—fully in control. She now understands her hair and how to love it rather than battle it into submission to conform to straight hair standards.

She watches the videos, uses the products and tools with confidence. It now takes her less time to get ready—it’s easier than she thought once she got going. Now, she can’t help but curl-spot strangers, share what she’s learned, tell her friends, and join the community. She feels supported on her journey to accepting and loving her waves & curls.

Frizz is yesterday’s problem. She grows in confidence from the initial confusion, feeling supported, with information easily available. Her hair goals grow—just like her waves, curls, and confidence.

She heads to the hairdresser—a once-dreaded appointment—with a skip in her step, ready for some R&R. She knows they have CGMC™️ products and the knowledge to wash, style, and curl her hair exactly as she wants it. She leaves happy.

She heads to the supermarket and in the aisle—she is represented. There are products truly suitable for her hair type. She recognises CGMC™️ and feels the convenience of picking them up there instead of waiting for delivery. Our Oz & US customers head into CVS with that same comfort.

She no longer fears rain, the hot sun shining day,  changing weather, or wind—she knows exactly how to navigate all parts of her curly life. She feels seen.  She is LIVING, curls and all.  No straightening for the weather to change it to fuzz.  No holding back, nope, not any more.

She shops for her family, blessed with curls, and knows exactly what products to use, what to do, and how to help them love their waves & curls without hesitation.  


The next generation—they just know.

We passed on all the knowledge so they never feel like their hair is wrong or that no matter what they do or buy, it just won’t comply.

They don’t for a second wish for straight hair because they’ve never been made to feel like it’s the better, less unique alternative.

They don’t know the feeling of being more “put together” just because they forced their hair to be something it’s not—only for the wind to change and reveal the truth.

They are free.

They love their curls. They love their uniqueness. They are 100% themselves—living their lives, unapologetically. And you know what we helped do this YOU & ME.
