Hi guys, So a few of you are a little confused about me saying not to use heat when I preach moisturizing and opening the cuticle with heat🤔. The heat we are avoiding is direct heat. That is, blowing, curling irons, pressing irons. I still use indirect heat to deep condition and moisturize. Sorry for the confusion 😢❤
Can you do a demo video of washing and deep conditioning while hair is in cornrows? I’m concerned about getting the hair and scalp thoroughly clean and then properly deep conditioned without leaving product residue in the cornrows or on scalp.
@@misswoode yes my sister you are right. There is no product in the market that can grow our hair. Hair is growing always but we need products to take care of it and make detangling process smooth.
Learned to do the cornrows for every 3 months for a year routine years ago. Tip: Wash cornrows with a wig cap on. Use the pads of fingers and the wig cap to cleanse the hair and scalp. Take wig cap off to rinse hair thoroughly. Can use a braid spray and or curl activator gel like Softee to keep hair moisturized and hydrated. Be careful with using heavy conditioners while wearing cornrows if hair is prone to build-up. Thanks for sharing (Isaiah 65:17,25)
Yeah I never had waist length hair until my natural hair journey. I went from 1 1/2 inches to waist length hair in about 3 1/2 years. My length retention was on point. Learned a lot. I finger detangled mostly and wore a lot of twists and infrequently wore my hair down or out. Then menopause started. Holy moly. My hair was coming out in clumps. Now I’m starting over my journey and learning about perimenopausal hair care.
This is the video that changed my hair world in less than a year. I used to have thin and same length all the time. But ever since I sticked and followed your tips I got thicker hair and it's growing and glowing. Am not yet on the waist length but am seeing a lot of changes on my hair guys. Am Soo super excited 😅😅
I did all the mistakes at the start of my hair journey. I just actively figured out my hair in early 2023 and thank God I have some hair genes 😂 Even though I've been doing rubbish to my hair in the past, my hair is midback chasing waist length at almost 5 years hair journey. My hair will be 5 in April and I even have a name for it🤣😂 Maybe I'm a weirdo but I feel incredibly connected to my hair since last year. You are beautiful ma'am and I'm your number 1 fan. God bless you❤
In fact dear, i really admire the decorum of your delivery, i mean the way and the manner you speak is on the notch you know, i do like your accent and tonation as well. In addition, this content is quiet educative.
It works trust me from 2018-2022. I just did two braids and moisture my hair , no wigs , and no added hair tired wearing same style too my hair down bra strap . And all because i didnt want so it, also didnt straighten or blow dry, no heat if aby kind, for record i been natural whole life, had shoulder length but use lot heat breakage hair was thin, no long thick and healthy
man when you said hair grows quiet slowly i wanted to cry. 😄 i did 3 big chops because i have dense hair and was too lazy to deal with it since i was a chronic wig wearer at the time. My hair would have been so long by now. its been two years since my last BC and im at collarbone length. Some parts are short due to cutting ln accident when out protective styles. Now ive commited myself to being gentle with hair and patient with my density to reach waist length. im 5'8 do you think i can get to waist length from collarbone in 2 years.
I completely agree with you, I recently started doing that and I’ve noticed in a span of 5months I’ve retained more length than ever. It really works , I endorse all your points very true 👍🙏🙏
Corn rows really helps me with just wigs I’ve noticed I blew dry it this time but I did a Avacado mask and then I did a hot oil treatment blowdreyed to stretch and then cornrows end am going to keep it braided for close to 8 weeks but next time maybe I won’t blow dry it but in the last I have noticed my hair grew a lot in this time frame of just wearing headband wigs and cornrowjng my own hair I also don’t anymore allow anyone to do my hair unless a special occasion and I make sure it’s a protective style.
Lovely commentary so far, I am learning a lot from you sister thank you. For the sisters on this hair growth journey (like myself) Id like to share to remember to love it at it's short phase too... Our wooly rounded texture from a designer and artistic perspective is the most feminine of ALL because it most resembles a circle which is the most feminine shape. Other cultures their hair is straight and angular which is more masculine, again from an artistic view. Do this journey cause you WANT to have long hair not bc you have to. Loving your hair at all phases helps the growth process go faster and the hair grows more beautifully 😊 Peace!
Hi, new subscriber here. I have been binge watching your videos. Thank you so much for all the valuable information. I am a 71 yr black woman living in The Netherlands rocking a TWA (thanks to chemotherapy). My hair is growing though! Have been natural for almost 14 yrs but never got my hair past bra strap length. At the moment my hair is long enough to do finger coils. I use a mixture of a leave-in conditioner with glycerin as the third ingredient, aloe vera gel and seal with Castor oil. Today I did my finger coils on freshly washed and conditioned hair. At night I wear a bonnet. Will check the progress in 6 months time. Don’t like braids or corn rows. I will stick to finger coils and do twists when my hair is long enough. Am considering joining the length retention challenge but not sure if it will be worth it as I have a TWA. Thanks again. Love your approach on dealing with natural hair.
I love watching videos of hair tips, even when 90% dont work for me. What ive found works is washing my hair with conditioner mixed with oil oncea week; then using a moisturizing lotion in my hair straight after, letting it partly airdry, then going in with a blowdryer and comb to strech it, after doing one pass with the straightener on the lowest heat, to prevent hair tangling. I finish😮 off with coconut oil all over my hair and tips, and rosemary and peppermint oil on tge roots and scalp. I maintain this by wearing my hair in a claw clip most days, and put it in two braids at night under a satin bonnet. My all i do through the week is add moisturising lotion abd oil every other day for a week till next wash day. I do a cleansing shampoo wash once a month.
Love this advice i dod this without knowing and my hair grew. Then i dyed it and it dropped off but im starting again. Leaving my hair alone really helps. I also would wash it in cornrows and then take it out re plat then put on my wig. My hair grew. But dont do it too long because my hair also matted one month when i didnt wash and take out the cornrows. Phew thank god i saved it. So if i wash in cornrows i take it out and re-plat my cornrows after the wash.
Great content sis ❤ I watched till the end. I'm 5"11 with 20 inches of 4c hair and I'm still a long way from waist length😮😢😢 I think I'll be needing another 4 inches to get there. Pray for me sis 😅
I am about 13.5-14 inches and approaching 4 years from a bc (March 31, 2020). I had about 2.5 inches at the top and MAYBE 1 inch around my sides and back. Given that, I think it will take me about 6-7 years to rea h waist-length and I am OK with that. My hair is healthy and I FINALLY have a regimen that works!!! FYI I am low-med density and I feel my hair becoming more heavy as I stay the course!!! You are a GEM SIS!!!
Thank you for this video. I just found your videos last week and intend to follow your advice for healthy hair to grow. What you say makes so much sense 🙏🏼
I would love to strictly follow these routine. I feel like all the trying this and that are speaking to me 😅 hopefully, I'll speak about my success soon. Thank you for this
Thanks for sharing, I think I need to get a hair diary. At times I get so busy that I forget dates such as when I did my protein treatments, when I last deep conditioned, when I installed my hairstyle (especially if I plan to keep it for a specific period of time). Thanks for these tips, feels like a collective summary of the tips you give in some of your previous videos👏🏼.
Love this video the very best one yet! Thank you I am growing my hair and it is growing ❤ thank you so much for this video I want my hair to be waist length you are absolutely right about what you said!
Eight months ago I starting doing the conrow method and now in October 2024 my hair is at shoulder length and thick. I will continue with this method. I also have a goal of 3 years to reach my breast. I am so in love with how my hair is doing. Thank you!
Hi this is my first time seeing you today I want to thank you because no one else has given me this much information to help me grow my hair no complaints here 😊😊
I believe that some things can accelerate hair growth, work for some people. In my reality 4 years to achieve waist lenght is supee long time, it happens only if IM having setbacks. Good jod anyaways, your hair is 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!!! One question-how do you moisturize with heat- you said no heat - so do I just use a moisturize product put a plastic cap on, wrap my head in a towel or heating cap for 20-30 minutes? Help😊 Did I say Thank you🥰
Our hair is like a plant. At intervals, do what's needed to care for it such as watering, fertlize with natural products, trimming only when necessary and leave it alone so that it can grow and flourish. Thanks for teaching about hair care.
I love all your recommendations & your hair looks healthy and beautiful! What do you think about Wash n gos? I finally perfected my wash n gos and I'm enjoying them!
I think they involve too much manipulation to be suitable for somone like me who wants length retention. am also not well versed around them so happy for you if you have found success with them.
I wash and detangle every 2-3 weeks. I detangle with glycerin, water and aloe Vera. My hair do not like shea butter and coconut oil. I keep my hair moisturized and usually 2 ponytails. My hair is rebellious at times and I have to give her a good talk and sometimes time out 🤣. I must admit that when my hair is flat ironed it behaves and seems to flourish. I usually get hair flat ironed 3-4 times a year. I’m praying for a miracle!!! You are amazing with honest great content!!!! Love 💕
Happy New Year Coily Beauty ❤️. Its been awhile! I actually took a break from the whole natural hair thing. It got to a point where it was overwhelming so I had to go on leave. Well, I won't say I'm coming back though but I'm gonna take things easy and try not to stress myself too much. I decided to watch your video and it's the first of hair videos I've watched in months 😅 I've cut back on the amount of hair videos I watch😂 but I'll still be taking care of my hair as much as I can. Keep being you and beautiful ❤️🥰
@@CoilyDiaries thank you so much. I'm glad you understand. I'm still on my journey to waist length tho 🤗. I wish I could send you pictures of my hair so you can tell me what you think.

I have eczema and need to get to my scalp. I can push my wash to about two weeks. By then the itching and skin build up is unbearable. Would twist under a headband wig and co-washing the twist every 2 weeks, and then redo twist after 3 months. Would this till work? I may do single braids, no hair added since it will last longer and get less frizz. I plan to moisture every 3 days too.
hi sis, just do your best with your condition. I wouldn’t jeopardise washing if it’s recommended for eczema. results will vary but consistency will get you to your goal
@@CoilyDiariesThank you so much for your reply. I have had cornrows in for two months! My hair has grow significantly and my scalp looks good to. I plan to re-braid first week of March. Thank you for this video! I haven't seen thus amount of growth in years.
I have a hard time KNOWING when I need protein 😢I have been doing silk presses for the winter months and now have heat damage 🥹 I am LoPo . My hair never feels like hydra fatigue. But I have been using Curl Smith and Aphogee. Aphogee every 4-6 weeks. How can I tell when I need protein? PLEASE HELP
Great advice! Have a few questions----1) Do you recommend a leave-in conditioner, 2) Do you recommend a hot oil treatment, 3) So my hair is currently boy brushwave length, but it grows really fast, it not the length to braid it yet, what should i do until im able to grip it, 4) what protein do recommend and should i use protein and mosture every month?
please see my moisturising routine for details but yes to leave ins!!! I don’t do hot oil treatments but you can! if your hair is too short to grip, leave it alone 🌺
Can I do this without putting anything on my scalp? My scalp does not like anything to sit on it for a long period. I can however use the glycerin/water mix. On my wash days, I can do hot oil treatments but I have to wash it out.
Yes genetics is absolutely a factor. That shouldn’t ever be left out of the conversation. Health and age matters as well. Also grays are a whole different kettle of fish to deal with -- dry and harrrd to keep moisturized.
My Tips: Develop a routine that works for you. Keep your hair hydrated/moisturized with natural products. Use protective styles and coverings, especially during sleep. And, most important, leave it alone! The less you manipulate/heat/dye/product your hair, the healthier it stays.
No matter how well I take care my hair ,,,, I never get 6 inches in a year due to monthly trims. My care gets stringy on the ends and need monthly trims. Sis I don’t know Very frustrating for me.
Like you, my hair is stubborn. It took me 3 years to really understand my hair needs and a routine to stick to for growth. Using @coilydairies' advice has helped me tremendously I would love to share my routine with you, it may help
I needed to respond to you because i uave been through this path before 5 yrs ago i big chopped for personal growth. I began learning how to grow natural hair. Because of so much info on UA-cam, i tried countless methods and products and for the first 3 years, my hair was stagnant 2023 i took a different approach, and slowed it down to just a basic approach which included Coily Dairies 3 month method though for me, twists are my preference to cornrows In case you're interested in learning more about my basic approach, let me know
I wash my hair once a month everything youv said i do the same ..i always cainrow i detangle wash..condotioner and moisterise always i wear slik bomnets is it inportant to change hair??? I wash comdition and moiisterise and i really oil my ends xxi want waist length its on my shoulders im gonna be patience ❤
Thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful dear. ❤️ Is this challenge friendly to transitioning girls? If it’s should we be cutting our hair every 3 months? Or can we just do it once we feel it’s long enough during the challenge period?
Either way you choose to go natural is fine. Just know it can be challenging to handle two textures. However you can use the routine! Glad you find the channel useful
But ma...I don't really understand when you said no heat....But you mentioned that heat lift the cuticle for better hydration in one of your videos...or you are referring to another type of heat?
Hi, new subbie here Discovered your channel about a week ago and Im currently trying to watch all your recent videos cos you really give amazing advice that have been giving me a new opinion about my natural hair ❣️ i also want to do this challenge of retaining 4-5inches per year cos I've been natural since 2020 but my hair isnt upto my chin yet :( I've confirmed that my hair does grow ½inches (sometimes less) every month however my hair breaks alot I have thin, fine, low density high porosity hair and my hair is always dry for high porosity hair that gets dry alot, would you recommend cornrows, braids or twist to start this challenge? And will you recommend i keep it for three months or less? I'm afraid I'll experience lots of breakage if i keep a style in for upto 3 months I'm trying to know my hair better this year but i don't want to have drawbacks as I've had these past years I'll keep an eye out for other of your videos Thank you for not gatekeeping what has been working for you God bless♥️
I used to ONLY finger detangle then I started using Felicia L. Brush and a rat tail to detangle and no the rat tail didn’t tear my hair out cuz it was already detangled. (I was doing NOTHING but WnG) But this last wash day JUST fingers and imma start that back again
Hi guys,
So a few of you are a little confused about me saying not to use heat when I preach moisturizing and opening the cuticle with heat🤔.
The heat we are avoiding is direct heat. That is, blowing, curling irons, pressing irons.
I still use indirect heat to deep condition and moisturize.
Sorry for the confusion 😢❤
Can you do a demo video of washing and deep conditioning while hair is in cornrows? I’m concerned about getting the hair and scalp thoroughly clean and then properly deep conditioned without leaving product residue in the cornrows or on scalp.
@@chiznslavi my hair is in Twists now so long shot. Squeezing and diluting products to make them watery really helps with that
Hair doesn’t grow over night. I hate it, when people say use this product and your hair will grow over night. Thank sis
supper annoying!

I watched till the end.
I'm 5"11 with 20 inches of 4c hair and I'm still a long way from waist length😮😢😢
I think I'll be needing another 4 inches to get there.
Pray for me sis 😅
you will get there. you are a lot of peoples Waistlength
With 20 inches,most people are at or past waist length but you are taller that's why you are not yet there but you will get there
20 ins 🎉 here's me behaving like Ciara with my 11ins 😂
I am about 13.5-14 inches and approaching 4 years from a bc (March 31, 2020). I had about 2.5 inches at the top and MAYBE 1 inch around my sides and back. Given that, I think it will take me about 6-7 years to rea h waist-length and I am OK with that. My hair is healthy and I FINALLY have a regimen that works!!! FYI I am low-med density and I feel my hair becoming more heavy as I stay the course!!! You are a GEM SIS!!!

I think they involve too much manipulation to be suitable for somone like me who wants length retention. am also not well versed around them so happy for you if you have found success with them.
Beautiful presentation, thank you for your grace in delivery... the information is invaluable... make it a great Year 🎉
Thanks beautiful 😍
I wash and detangle every 2-3 weeks. I detangle with glycerin, water and aloe Vera. My hair do not like shea butter and coconut oil. I keep my hair moisturized and usually 2 ponytails. My hair is rebellious at times and I have to give her a good talk and sometimes time out 🤣.
I must admit that when my hair is flat ironed it behaves and seems to flourish. I usually get hair flat ironed 3-4 times a year. I’m praying for a miracle!!! You are amazing with honest great content!!!! Love 💕
Thank you so much very informative info your tips have helped me a lot thank you🙏🏼😇👍💯👌🌹
You are so welcome!
Good video, but i dont do plats, or wigs. Will have to come up with another way to do this for my hair.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Happy New Year Coily Beauty ❤️.
Its been awhile!
I actually took a break from the whole natural hair thing.
It got to a point where it was overwhelming so I had to go on leave.
Well, I won't say I'm coming back though but I'm gonna take things easy and try not to stress myself too much.
I decided to watch your video and it's the first of hair videos I've watched in months 😅
I've cut back on the amount of hair videos I watch😂 but I'll still be taking care of my hair as much as I can.
Keep being you and beautiful ❤️🥰
hey sis ! totally understand what you mean!!
@@CoilyDiaries thank you so much. I'm glad you understand. I'm still on my journey to waist length tho 🤗. I wish I could send you pictures of my hair so you can tell me what you think.

I have eczema and need to get to my scalp. I can push my wash to about two weeks. By then the itching and skin build up is unbearable. Would twist under a headband wig and co-washing the twist every 2 weeks, and then redo twist after 3 months. Would this till work? I may do single braids, no hair added since it will last longer and get less frizz. I plan to moisture every 3 days too.
hi sis, just do your best with your condition. I wouldn’t jeopardise washing if it’s recommended for eczema. results will vary but consistency will get you to your goal
@@CoilyDiariesThank you so much for your reply. I have had cornrows in for two months! My hair has grow significantly and my scalp looks good to. I plan to re-braid first week of March. Thank you for this video! I haven't seen thus amount of growth in years.
Thank you so much for the tips❤️
You are so welcome!
That hairstyle is Ace!

I have a hard time KNOWING when I need protein 😢I have been doing silk presses for the winter months and now have heat damage 🥹 I am LoPo . My hair never feels like hydra fatigue. But I have been using Curl Smith and Aphogee. Aphogee every 4-6 weeks. How can I tell when I need protein? PLEASE HELP
you don’t need it to have hygral fatigue in order to do a protein treatment. Afro hair needs protein often. keep it at 4-6 weeks
Please how can I take care of my scalp ?
All the oils I have use gave flakes
(Eg . Rosemary oil, coconut oil, lavender oil, and many more)
please see my full month scalp routine
Great advice! Have a few questions----1) Do you recommend a leave-in conditioner, 2) Do you recommend a hot oil treatment, 3) So my hair is currently boy brushwave length, but it grows really fast, it not the length to braid it yet, what should i do until im able to grip it, 4) what protein do recommend and should i use protein and mosture every month?
please see my moisturising routine for details but yes to leave ins!!! I don’t do hot oil treatments but you can! if your hair is too short to grip, leave it alone 🌺
@@CoilyDiaries Ok, I'll be checking that video out and subscribing to your channel as well. How often should I massage?
Can I do this without putting anything on my scalp? My scalp does not like anything to sit on it for a long period. I can however use the glycerin/water mix. On my wash days, I can do hot oil treatments but I have to wash it out.
you can. try and tailor for this to your routine
I will try and ill be back with results
nice!!!
Thank you!
welcome
Yes genetics is absolutely a factor. That shouldn’t ever be left out of the conversation. Health and age matters as well. Also grays are a whole different kettle of fish to deal with -- dry and harrrd to keep moisturized.
great points !
I don't believe that, I don't even have those genetics. Hard pays
I had a lot of tangeled and slit ends from the last blow drying that I did, even though it was on a low setting + post-partum hair loss.... 😢
so sorry sis, recover soonest ❤️
My Tips: Develop a routine that works for you. Keep your hair hydrated/moisturized with natural products. Use protective styles and coverings, especially during sleep. And, most important, leave it alone! The less you manipulate/heat/dye/product your hair, the healthier it stays.
Thanks for sharing!!
No heat 😬 i only use heat once a month to stretch my hair since mine tangles so much. What would be a better way to stretch it without heat?
I have done videos on heatless stretching, bantu knots, flexi rods,African threading etc
Thank you for sharing Sis.
No problem 😊
I just want to be clear, like I was the hair with cornrows for three moths or i unbraid then wash and rebraid ?
u only unravel every 3 months
No matter how well I take care my hair ,,,, I never get 6 inches in a year due to monthly trims. My care gets stringy on the ends and need monthly trims. Sis I don’t know Very frustrating for me.
that is frustrating… how often are you washing/detangling. do you keep your hair stretched?
Like you, my hair is stubborn. It took me 3 years to really understand my hair needs and a routine to stick to for growth. Using @coilydairies' advice has helped me tremendously
I would love to share my routine with you, it may help
Great tips❤
Glad you like them!
Let's get it y'all. I got my cornrows in already. ❤
yaaaaahhhhh🥰🥰🥰
Wait cause I’ve been growing my hair for 4 years and it is t even shoulder length
don’t give up 🌺
@@CoilyDiaries 🫶🏽😄
I needed to respond to you because i uave been through this path before
5 yrs ago i big chopped for personal growth. I began learning how to grow natural hair. Because of so much info on UA-cam, i tried countless methods and products and for the first 3 years, my hair was stagnant
2023 i took a different approach, and slowed it down to just a basic approach which included Coily Dairies 3 month method though for me, twists are my preference to cornrows
In case you're interested in learning more about my basic approach, let me know
I wash my hair once a month everything youv said i do the same ..i always cainrow i detangle wash..condotioner and moisterise always i wear slik bomnets is it inportant to change hair??? I wash comdition and moiisterise and i really oil my ends xxi want waist length its on my shoulders im gonna be patience ❤
🌺🌺🌺
I was surprised that you didn't mention any herb because most of the hair youtubers mention them
Ahahhaah not necessary but a nice addition if you want to 👍🏽
thank you so much
but how can I grow thicker hair?
my hair is too thin the more it get inches.....
thickness and density is usually genetic but optimising your health and nutrition can help
Thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful dear. ❤️ Is this challenge friendly to transitioning girls? If it’s should we be cutting our hair every 3 months? Or can we just do it once we feel it’s long enough during the challenge period?
Either way you choose to go natural is fine. Just know it can be challenging to handle two textures. However you can use the routine! Glad you find the channel useful
instead of cornrows can I do sewin?
if done well it could work
My hair grows 0,8 cm per month and so four year, it is 38 cm for four years, which is 15 inches
Nice 👍🏽
@@CoilyDiaries it is too slow....I need a decade to have it on my back.
What protein product do you recommend?
I have done a video on “True proteins”
Can you recommend a protein treatment?
Try this one amzn.to/48JWu3s
But ma...I don't really understand when you said no heat....But you mentioned that heat lift the cuticle for better hydration in one of your videos...or you are referring to another type of heat?
sorry to confuse you with that. the heat we are avoiding is direct heat. you can still use indirect heat. my mistake not being clear😬
Okay ma'am.. Thanks sooo much
how do you stretch hair without heat?
Braids, hair ties down the hair, bantu knots, twists, Shea butter etc
braids bantu knots flexi rodes etc
GOD bless you ❤

Hi, new subbie here
Discovered your channel about a week ago and Im currently trying to watch all your recent videos cos you really give amazing advice that have been giving me a new opinion about my natural hair ❣️
i also want to do this challenge of retaining 4-5inches per year cos I've been natural since 2020 but my hair isnt upto my chin yet :(
I've confirmed that my hair does grow ½inches (sometimes less) every month however my hair breaks alot
I have thin, fine, low density high porosity hair and my hair is always dry
for high porosity hair that gets dry alot, would you recommend cornrows, braids or twist to start this challenge? And will you recommend i keep it for three months or less? I'm afraid I'll experience lots of breakage if i keep a style in for upto 3 months
I'm trying to know my hair better this year but i don't want to have drawbacks as I've had these past years
I'll keep an eye out for other of your videos
Thank you for not gatekeeping what has been working for you
God bless♥️
hi sis! welcome and I love me some fine high porosity hair 🌺
maybe start with midi twists redoing your hair monthly
@@CoilyDiariesthank you so much ❤
I'll start with that and see how it goes
Can't wait to track my progress 😊♥️
Same, new sub
You are beautiful 🙂💕 and so is your hair
Thank you so much!!😊
I LIKE UR HONESTY"HEIR GROW SLOWLY"😍😂
🤔🤔🤔🙈🙈
Should I get my split ends cut?
I would
I haven't nailed my protein treatment yet.
Takes some time to find a fav
Thanks😇

I only finger detangler now.
best decision
I used to ONLY finger detangle then I started using Felicia L. Brush and a rat tail to detangle and no the rat tail didn’t tear my hair out cuz it was already detangled. (I was doing NOTHING but WnG) But this last wash day JUST fingers and imma start that back again
Did you experience post partum shedding?
I did. there’s a video on that
