I am 61 and have never successfully grown my hair. I have decided to give it one more go. Your videos are really helping me to understand what I should be doing. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this! All the best on your journey 🌺. Does your hair just break off?
@CoilyDiaries Yes, in the past it has got to a certain length and then began to break off. However, I am now realising that I made numerous mistakes. Blow drying too much, inappropriate treatments. This whole thing about hydration is completely new to me. My hair is now going grey, and so I need to be especially careful.
Hey, please give an update on yout progress please.
Hi. I never commented on anyone's videos before. I happened across yours today and what you said about retaining length is correct. I grew my hair from 2 1/2 inches long to my waist in 4 years. I am at 8 years now and am at my middle thighs and butt in length. It's now 33inches long. The first 4 years I always kept it in individual braids, washing at 3 weeks and taking down at 6 weeks( my hair grew fast) and braiding the same day. It grew 17 inches. Then, I locked it and it grew 14.5 inches the next 4 years.
I keep my hair covered most of the time and don't do styles. If I do a ponytail I take in down after 4 hours. Good information, keep it up.
I'll try to send pics 😊
this is amazing! thanks for sharing ❤️. your consistency is commendable
Did you trim?
Girl i just wanna thank you for all these gems you shared with us. You really make a lot of sense from being a twisted natural, recycling parts, the mad moisture routine all the way to the length retention tips. I implemented all of these for myself and my 5 year old. Hair care has become self care and we are living our best lives deeply in love with our hair journey. I love you my beautiful sista. Keep shining🎉
hair for all of this positivity and progress! her is to more progress in 2024 🥂
As someone from the muslim community/ i have to cover my hair with a hijab so certain styles will make me look off , i highly appreciate the range of options of styles you offer and for this challenge, im in. Love you and ill share my results in a year
excited to see your progress sis!🌺
Thanks for asking. I now have a settled routine that I really enjoy. There is something very therapeutic about hair care. Two months in and my hair is growing well.
🌺🌺🌺
I finally found hair products that has my hair singing and ordered a hairscarf that's coming tomorrow. I'm so excited to do this challenge. 😊
nice 👍🏽
Happy holidays to you and your family. Thanks for the pearls of wisdom. I've definitely been over thinking this.
happy holidays 🥰 simplicity works
I enjoyed your vlogmas! I also enjoyed seeing all your different natural hairstyles.
Thanks lovely 🥰
Thank you so much. Learnt a whole lot on moisture retention. My hair is loving it especially during this harmattan season. I appreciate
Glad it was helpful!🌺
Thank you so much for keeping the videos coming. I loved all of the topics❤
amazing! thanks for watching 🌺
Length retention is our goal. Thank you for uploading another great video. I'm definitely coming along on this journey.
yaaaay 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I'm all in!! so far my hair growth not bad. I just need to master dry hair and be CONSISTENT! I have thick hair with fine strands.....
consistency is key beautiful. weekly moisturising still a challenge for you?
I'm definitely joining this challenge. Waist length here we come.
yaaaay💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Have listened to many videos about hair but this one has motivated me in a unique way
I'm 2 months behind, but I'm in for the challenge...coming back with results
which style are you going to do?
@@CoilyDiaries i think I'm going to go with hair twists since i'm used to the style and i find it easy coz i can do it on my own, so it won't be a hustle when i wash and put back the twists
Ofcoz here and there I'm going to do the twists with added hair
I'm definitely joining this challenge. Thank you.
Wonderful!
I'm already on it! I'm trying to keep my hair instead of shaving my head. This challenge is good because now it's like having company along the journey! 😊 I bought glycerin, and my hair is currently in braids using your suggested LOC method. I'm going to try keeping them for 3-4 weeks before redoing them using the same parts! I might be near waist length by next December with this routine 😆Thanks for sharing. The tips are top so far🎉☺️☺️💃🏽
Go for it! in the journey together!!! so excited for your progress sis! don’t cut your hair. about LOC did I recommend this?
@@CoilyDiaries I'll try my best not to cut🥲. Oh, no you didn't, my bad. I meant LCO method haha 😆. Glycerin water for liquid, a leave-in of choice for cream, and an oil of choice.
@@kayceefranco7086 ❤️❤️❤️
I am going to go on this journey with you this year.. please share all your journey I will be with you on the challenge .. I recently came across your channel and I appreciate your content .. keep on going
Wonderful! let’s do this sis ❤️
I'm going to do this challenge. Let's get it ladies! ❤
yaaaay💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I’m all in for the retention challenge!
yaaay!!
I just did twists with synthetic hair and I already planned to follow a similar routine for the year…now I’m definitely sticking to my plan!!
Wonderful!
Same here too. I already was thinking of this and you just confirmed what I had in mind. I am up for the challenge 🙌
Thank you so much for this information, as I have twists in with synthetic hair. I love this regime. Definitely will be doing this ❤
Wonderful!
Thank you for the Christmas vlogs. I really added to my hair knowledge. Although, I am not fully committing to this challenge, I have committed to extending my shampoo to every two weeks and to only taking my twists down when absolutely necessary. Thank you!!! Merry CHRISTmas!!!✝️
Happy holidays! love that you found the videos helpful sis🌺
Thanks for this. Am planning on keeping my mini braids for 6 months, will follow the hair care routine you’ve recommended…but will re-do every 6 months, hope that will work well
you go girl 🌺
I’m already on a retention challenge (since July) and due to take down my style end of Jan. I will piggyback off this challenge to make it to end of ‘24.
love this ❤️
I did box braids for about 3 months, added very little hair, and i retained so much length. I was so surprised. Im getting braids in about a week so i will definitely join the challenge, on and off.
That is awesome! let’s gooooo sis ❤️❤️❤️
I'm definitely joining this challenge😊.
yaaay!!!
Hair challenge! I am in but unfortunately I don’t have anyone around that I can trust to gently cornrow my hair on very hydrated stretched no heat hair. Most people prefer heat stretched hair so they can get perfect parts. I think having someone else in my hair will set me back each time. So I guess I will do the braid method on my own hair and try not to touch them for at least a month. Now that I know what is causing breakage (single strand knots) I will also use oil rinses on wash day and as needed using olive oil.
love your strategy. I agree about some else in your hair is an almost a guaranteed set back. I’ll be doing mainly twists as that’s the easiest way for me 🌺
Hey Annet, you can stretch your hair without heat. You can use threads or Brazilian wool. Look out for videos of ladies that stretch their hair with threads. I believe it will be helpful because it has been for me. I also don't like heat so that method is my go to always.
Hello thank you so much for helping so many of us and our hair care l’m going to work very hard to grow my hair back l would get discouraged and cut it all off and start over but after seeing you and the good advice the hard water a light came on God bless you and your family be safe
You are so welcome!🤗
Thanks for this challenge. I'm two months late but I'm joining. I haven't cared for my hair and this challenge is right on time to get back on track.
You are so welcome! let’s do this ❤️
Thank you so much for always putting out awesome content! ❤❤.... I'm definitely getting on this challenge for 2024; even though it might make the year a boring hair year 😂
boring is good sis ❤️🌺
Thank you for the vlogmas, i real enjoyed it a lot, the topics were on point so thank you you deserve a little rest but be sure to come back more energetic😂😂
Happy holidays! thanks heaps! energy loading…🤣
Thank you so much for vlogmas!!! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. I am very familiar with mini braids, I was on a long-term mini braid challenge this year. It took me from about neck length to... just under armpit length after a trim. I did fail, quite horribly, to take care of my ends though during that time, so I had to trim off a lot of hair. I'm not making that mistake again in 2024. I think for this challenge I'm going to do medium-sized braids with my own hair, then lay them flat under a wig cap and wear wigs,... at least for one half of the year. I've stretched my mini braids for 3 months without rebraiding before and lived to tell the tale, so I know it's doable. I've never worn wigs consistently for a long period before so that part is going to be very interesting.
right behind you to support you! excited for your 2024 journey ❤️
Awesome Christmas Vlogs!
Learned a lot from you. Merry Christmas to youuuuuuuu ❤
Thank you! You too!🌺
New subscriber just joined today after watching 15 lies, lol. I'm currently transitioning for the second time ( 15 months in)first time I gave up following the hype and being disappointed. This uve just went with the flow. Started having breakage of relaxed ends so I'm in the process of trimming them off as my natural hair continues to grow. Looking forward to trying some of your tips and tweaking to my liking.
welcome sis from 15 lies 😅! so glad to have you! take a look around 🌺
I just found you and im so glad i did. Im definitely joining this challenge.
Welcome aboard! please join us 🌺
I'm in, I'm late, but I'm in. Thank you for the challenge.🙏🏾
Never too late hun ❤️
Thanks for sharing your vlogs.
A simple hair and scalp routine has been very helpful for retaining length. Glycerin has been vital for my hair care routine for years.
Best tip I've learned over the years is to not expect my hair to do what it's not genetically able to do even lengthwise. Loving my hair and giving it what it needs inside and out is key.
Keeping the ends tucked in is so important to retain length and moisture.
Wigs can be fun when chosen correctly for face and eye shape, coloring and lifestyle. No stress no mess 😁.
Would like to see you interview other natural hair RUclipsrs.
Take care and peace love and blessings to you and yours CC.🙋🏾♀️🙏🏾💐💜😀

thanks for sharing. ideas noted with thanks🌺
Omg just ran across this and I’m joining in I think I’ll start with cornrow method and wig while it’s cool and switch up to twist in the summer
yeeeeessss!!🥰
I hope I keep seeing your beauty 🌹🌹🌹 happy new year❤❤
awww thanks gorgeous! happy new year ❤️
Came across an old 8 month video of yours for the 1st time 2day, i immediately sent to my sister😂We struggle with very dry 4c hair. I've lots of breakage Thanks you so much 4 tips❤
you are so welcome 🤗
I don’t trust braids, I feel like my hair breaks when I put it in synthetic braids. (Partly because I neglect moisturizing it lol) and my braids won’t last this long because I tend to them loosely. They’ll look crazy within a couple weeks. I guess if I were to join this challenge, a better alternative for me would be crochet hair or wigs.
I totally understand! whatever works best for you! the key is to minimize detangling and handling 🌺
This is me! Everytime I get braids , my hair breaks or it’s extremely thinner
I must say you Ave help me on the moistrizing.thank you and my hair is looking great .my hair is growing and now it is happy and not dry and hard thanks again and will watch your vedios.❤
So elated to hear this! Keep going ❤️
I find when I braid my twist just at the root and then continue with the twist, it helps to keep the integrity of it longer at the root.
this is cool technique sis❤️
Hey Coily Diaries😊
I've really enjoyed vlogmas - loved the consistency and the useful content you shared with us!
Definitely looking forward to the length retention challenge
One thing I will say is that for fine hairstrand naturals, we may need to keep the style in shorter because of matting. My hair tends to mat after I moisturise/ wash the roots more than 3 times unfortunately😢
please adjust the challenge to what is suitable and what works for you 🌺
My hair tangles so easily. And it also gets dry easily. I had to relax cos of that, but even now, My hair tends to tangle and loc, especially when i let water touch the hair or if i wash it
I fear cornrows and prefer to do braids instead.
I'll try this challenge but not with the cornrows - i pray this works great😍
Thank you ma'am
Ohhh nice about braids. Am in braids and have been sharing my updates on it. Take down end of month
I started this challenge few days ago when i discovered your channel. My hair is not far from waist length, i am expecting to reach my goal by January 2025.
Love it 🥰
This is exactly what I did this year and I finally noticed l retained more length all my friends were very surprised to see the growth. I put my hair in braids for two months but I still oil my scalp , wash my hair and moisturize it
After taking down the braids I wash my hair ,deep condition and stretch it using African threading before putting it in braids again
love this for you❤️
This is a great idea for mothers!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay, you made it to the end of vlogmas!! That was a lot of work! I enjoyed watching pretty much everyday. ❤
I won't be joining this specific challenge, as I need to be able to detangle more than that, also because I like changing up my hair and it still grew pretty good this past year with all that. Also I can't stand adding anything synthetic to my hair for the long term, and human hair freaks me out. (From where and whom was it sourced, and why? 😐)
But I do want to be gentler with my hair and trim a bit less often.
Good luck with the growing! Here's hoping you'll fully retain at least 6 inches, and maybe even have a growth spurt that unexpectedly gives you more! 🤩
Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Please enjoy this time with your lovely family❤🎁🎄
no worries sis glad you have your own thing going on! definitely welcoming the hair growth spurt🙌🏾🤣🤣❤️
Merry Christmas 🎄
Same to you!
I’m definitely in on the challenge without extensions but with corn rows and plaits. What’s funny is I had already planned this challenge for myself anyway! I have hair goals! This should be fun…thanks as always. 🌺
Niceeee!!!👍🏽
Same, no extensions for me. I stopped added hair over 7 years and don't see myself going back. I'll be doing mini braids since that has been good with my hair. I planned 3 months braids, one month break and back to braids for 3 months and so on till end of 2024. I'll be maintaining moisture while protecting the ends. This will be an interesting year.
@i3abikay That’s great! I actually was convinced to put my hair into mini braids and I just did them today…well, medium size I guess, but they’re mini to me! 😆 Corn rows and plaits worked so well on my hair this year, but I’m thinking the mini braids may be even better!! Girl I’m too excited to see what my hair looks like at the end of 2024! Hope we all get good results from diligence and consistency. 🌸
Do hair in August, December, March, and May
Wash, Deep condition, Protein treatment, Moisturize (Leave in, Glycerin, Castor Oil--lots of products because synthetic hair is drying..use applicator bottle for braids/twists)
Stretch hair
Do these styles-cornrows&wig (band wigs, afro wigs, pixie wigs, wigs that mimic 4c hair), braids/twist (added hair)
Moisturize (with heat)/Hydrate (with steam from shower) every 2 weeks or monthly...hair might not last if you do it every 2 weeks for braids/twists.
Once at 3 months, wash as usual and take down hair.
Then reinstall hair after moisturizing again.
Repeat until you get to desired length
*rinse braids fortnightly, can't deep condition*
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm just now joining. I've decided to go with cornrows with a kinky straight wig. I can't wait to start retaining length. I'm curious to see how much length I retain each month. ☺️
nice 👍🏽
Thank you so much
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Way ahead of you sis. Currently, my hair is straight. I wear it straight for an entire winter. For spring/summer, I do medium-size flat twists and wear them for 2 weeks. In the warmer months, I wash my hair every 3 weeks. Let my hair rest for one week before installing a protective style. I do my medium flat twists on blowout hair and refresh my scalp with rose water every week. 2023 I retained the majority of my length and growth. 2024 I'm looking to do the same. Also, I've keeping up with my internal health.
love this ❤️ let’s do this sis!
I will try this year! There nothing left to do with my hair but grow it
yasssss!!🌺
I just want to say your hair is absolutely beautiful!
thanks love ❤️
@@CoilyDiaries your welcome 😊
@CoilyDiaries oh Also I'm joining the challenge. As of now, I've been following your moisture routine and also wearing twist. It's been working wonderfully. Right now Inhave twist , however, on the 20th of this month, I'm braiding my hair down for the 3 months at a time challenge. Lol, being honest, I have almost 100 wigs literally. I have both human hair and synthetic lace fronts, Glueless wigs, and headband wigs. I have been wearing wigs for over 13 years now. However, it never dawned on me to just braid my hair down, thoroughly moisturize it once a week or every two weeks, then wash it after a month while keeping the cornrows and repeat it for 3 month intervals throughout the year lol. I swear things that seem like common sense aren't really at times to some of us, lol. It's cool though. we all have busy lives, and at times, I know some things just skip our minds to do.
@@TheBeautyShanika love it. 😊
@@CoilyDiaries Thank you 😊
Hunni you did an A+++ on your videos!!! You encouraged me to add more glycerin to my mix, which has been helping a lot. Your wash routine was also plus! plus! Now I know when protein comes into play. By the way, the music only clip was awesome 🤩 I think one music genre works great (jazz or your fav genre) 🤭I’m going to miss the daily clips.
I bought this electric heat cap on Amazon; I use it once a week during moisturizing, session and girl let me tell you it works wonders. I also bought the aveeno hard water shampoo and it’s pretty good. Actually, it has a few of the same ingredients as the Malibu C you recommended.
Finally tried the boar brush and it left my scalp feeling amazing!!! only thing that worries me is the bristles on the sides, seem like it will pull my hair? Could it be the angle I’m using? I was considering cutting both sides and only having the middle line bristles.
Doing a live would be fantastic, it would hold us all accountable, we could share our personal experiences and ask questions regarding hair as we go through the challenge. Just saying hahaha Currently, I’m at bra strap length and wanting waist length. I’ll be doing the challenge just no hair added. Thanks again for sharing your time, patience and knowledge with us. 🥰
are you using the same brush I recommend? I see how having an even thinner line would help with precision! you only need a few bristles and gentle. noted all your wonderful ideas🌺❤️
Glycerin irritate my scalp terribly. What can use instead? Thanks.
@@juno2359 honey is also a good humectant. Aloe Vera is a good one too. A lot of products carry glycerin and if you are ok with those products then I’m wondering if the mix you used had a high concentration of glycerin? If so then dilute the glycerin further with distilled water. Test the new mix on a small section of your scalp. Hope it works for you lovely! 😊
I’ve been looking for 2024 hair challenges.
I’m commenting before even starting the video, I hope I’m not late for the challenge.😂
never too late!!!🌺🌺🌺
Om joining i did 3 strand twist on January 13 !! Ill be leaving in for a month i guess before i redo them cause i wished i did some small braids with my natural hair so once i do those im going for longer months
love it!!
Shalom sis. I just joined the mailing list
Aww thanks!!!!🤩
@@CoilyDiaries you’re welcome
Hello. I like your enhanced LCO method of moisturizing hair and the length challenge. Could you please make a video of the best way to wash your hair when you have synthetic braids or twists in (such as your spring twists). I am going to attempt crotchet twists as my protective style and want it to last as long I can. Thank you again for the video.
So welcome… I have done a video washing my spring twists called “cleanse & hydrate”
@@CoilyDiaries I will find it. Thank you.
Love your hair natural hair goals and the gems💝❣️💝 please keep them coming. Just a suggestion, since you asked, to maybe plan to do a vlog whenever you like after the year and just give it another title, so maybe not neccessarily a vlogmas at christmas next year, or not necessarily a challenge, but call it whatever title you want and do it for say 30days in a row, just so we’re not waiting till next December for a 30 or 20 or 15day vlog. Also consider letting us see more of how you wear your hair day to day or how you manage your hair journey besides styling it and washing it, Im thinking of things like storage of everything to do with your hair, what are some of the things you consider about your hair in your daily routine and show us how you manage them or talk about it. Your location is great and you’ve given it a lot of thought and consideration and care about presentation and to add to that another suggestion is maybe switch it up to showing us more of what’s happening with your hair when you are out and about your day in your environment, e.g as your hair is getting longer and bigger, do you find that your styling suits sitting in the car or am I the only person who finds car ceilings not fro freindly, they’re rather low for a fro😂 safety aside🤷🏾♂️
some amazing ideas sis! thanks so much. I’ll see how I go doing another “vlogmas” before December! I definitely enjoyed it but it’s a ton of work and need abit of planning on my part to start recording earlier. taken note of the other suggestions too! love it❤️❤️❤️
I know it’s a ton of work 😅. I think one of the things that drew me to your channel is the level of detail and the passion for hair, of course it comes with tonnes of work but well worth it I hope and trully, I think you’re building something big on your channel too sis.
I watched your video where you were talking about how you settled for being a nurse when you wanted to be a doctor. That was me at some point in life. I have the drive and energy and passion which now also goes to my hair and forgot about medicine but very diy sort of person (my sister is always encouraging me to start my own hair care line because I experiment a lot with natural ingredients much more than youtube combined 😂😂but I do it for my hair and thats good enough for me) oh and my fridge has a compartment for my DIYs. Same for bathroom, storage, handbag bedroom, car etc so my hair care is pretty much the one part of me that I occupies every space where I go.
So, I’d definitely watch anything about hair from a youtuber who’s put in the work.
No pressure though sis! It’s easier said than done which is why I’m a keyboard warrior and never ever a youtuber myself😊but seriously thanks for the hard work, it’s been fantastic looking forward to your vlog everyday, and you did not disappoint❤
My point is I just think it would be great to see someone talking about all other spaces in their life influenced by their hair care. Also, maybe research/join the debate about swimming caps for afro hair and the Tokyo olympics swimmer, and how you can influence change as a youtuber for the next olympics and or in other areas that don’t have space for our natural hair yet, like my car where my fro keeps brushing the ceiling 😂😂😂,
All the Best
Number 1 fan
I have dreadlocks but my daughter have loose hair so am joining for thanks
nice!!!
I have no words
❤️❤️❤️
I will be doing this challenge
yaaaas!!!🌺🌺🌺
5:57 mark - Start of length retention recommendations.
❤️❤️❤️
I’m in
yaaaay!!
can you do a video on wearing a wig confidently? theres so much content online about black women wearing wigs and never wearing their natural hair. So im now super self conscious when i wear wigs. I am at bra strap length so i have length but i do want to get to waist length with headband wigs. I usually wear my natural hair but am having a plateau however people see us with a wig and assume so mucg about how we feel about our hair. please give some advice on how to wear then and without feeling self conscious and like everyon3 knows youre wearing a wig
sis this is an important topic that needs to be had!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@CoilyDiaries yes! thank you
I wanna sign up for your mailing list, however I don't know how? I really enjoy watching your video because I want health long hair as you do...❤️❤️❤️
first link in the description 🥰
Hi sis, thanks for the video! ❤ Definitely joining with my friends! I was wondering, I was thinking of (for low porosity hair and for my scalp) making a homemade hair oil with: Sweet almond oil as carrier (or maybe avocado, or sunflower), and EO’s rosemary, peppermint, lavender, tea tree and cedarwood. Does that sound good? 🫶🏽
yaaaay!!!! I love this! the oil sounds really good. please see the video on non comedogenic/ penetrating oils❤️
Thanks for your educative videos. I can go only 4 weeks with cornrows. If I go more than 4 weeks, my hair would tangle up leading to lots of hair loss
❤️❤️❤️
I love your tutorial. My problem is im unable to keep my hair in for that long. 6 weeks is the longs even with extension
that’s ok still just take care at takedown
@@CoilyDiaries I will definitely keep that in mind
My hair is somewhat fine. Like type 3c or 4a.
My hair gets so frizzy and matted up if I leave the braids in more than 2 months. Then the take down is awful. I have to leave it alone for at least a week before thinking about putting them in braids again. I do like the wig, but I usually can only do 2 braids or flat twists underneath.
I will figure out how to make this work for me
two months is great! work with that and whatever you need to make it work for you 🌺
Glueless laces wigs. I’m between wigs, braids. N wearing my heart out n living it. N I can only protective style for 3 weeks. Then I detangle a SMALL section with conditioner n water n oil to detangle / pre poo before I wash. Any longer I can’t manage the tangles.
totally understand! as long as you are being very gentle you will be ok!
This is exactly what i have been looking for, would it be possible to do this challenge but with faux locs
Depends on the hair you use. Faux locs are extremely drying and might actually set you back than benefit you
Yayyy, I love all your videos and I’ve surely learnt a lot from Vlogmas!! 💕
So about this challenge, I’m all in! First, I have high porosity hair and I don’t wear extensions. I am going to put braids without extensions and leave it for 6 weeks, but I will moisturize every 3 days, and on the 6 week, I will take the braids down, have a good wash day routine and then put the braids back in and then repeat. This is great right?🥺 I want your thoughts!!
it’s excellent
We’re in the same camp, high porosity and braided without extensions. I’ll be doing my wash every 12 weeks though, instead of 6. Happy growing girl!! 🌸
@@A_Wilson yayy!💕 cheers to long thick and healthier hair sis! 🥂
@samahgaladanchi Indeed!! Cheers! 😄🥂🌺
I am doing the same and will try to extend my wash day as long as possible depending on what my hair is telling me. If I can stretch my braids to 6-8 weeks that would be an improvement for me.
I’m joining the challenge . Only issue is my hair is TWA. Very short . What would you recommend I do before it’s long enough to style ?
TWAs are just ok to be left alone….
Thank you sooo much for this video, I'm glad I came across your page
I'd like to use the cornrows style using my natural hair but I can't use a wig on top because I'm a Muslim, what do you suggest I do please?🥺
head wraps hair piece or just the cornrows as stated in the video 🌺
Great Vlogmas!!! Something to consider for Vlogmas next year would be videos letting us get to know you. You could add in some fashion videos, get to know me videos and any other videos that you may consider including in future videos to get a pulse on if people would be interested. Personally, I prefer natural hair videos the majority of time but would welcome a change of pace during Vlogmas.
noted with thanks 🙏🏽. I have do such videos in the past and didn’t get great response to them. Will try again for vlogmas ❤️
🤩🤩
🥰🥰
Am in
Yaaaa!!
Thank you so much for these challenge
I can’t wash my hair in cornrows/twists. It loosens once water gets into it. What do you suggest
your cornrows come undone too? for twists you just have to retwist or loosely braid before washing
I'm so glad that I stumbled upon your page. I'm waist length already and pretty much did the same things minus glycerine. I'll make sure to add that. Friends would always say how I had so much hair, but was boring with it. Mind you they didn't have hair. 🙄 My problem now is that my last silk press damaged my hair 🙃 so in between these styles I'm trying everything to fix my curls. I've most recently looked into bond repair because we know waist length is WAY too much to cut. I wish we were besties so you could experiment on me. 😂 I've even considered long distance/international travels for a real person that specializes in curls instead of most that only know how to silk press. I'll do just about anything. This journey has been depressive. 😮💨
awww so sorry hun. how long have you been silk pressing? how bad is the damage. bond repair will be great but once heat damaged, to get the natural curl back you would need to cut it off. slowly is ok so you don’t see the difference too much
@@CoilyDiaries Thank you!! For the past 8 years I would get a silk press from the same person once or twice a year. I never got any damage until the last time which was in January. For some reason she tried something different. 😒😢 It's gotten better since then. I think it's horrible. Others say it's beautiful and I'm tripping. It's loser and more of a wave to me then a curly coil. I had straight pieces that framed my face that I cut like layers. I've always been funny about who I let in my hair. I was raised like that since my grandmother was a beautician. I've always had long healthy hair. I had a goal of butt length and I'm not far. I don't want to have to start over. It's been a struggle, but I'm trying to hold on.
@@carolynnwhite2807 definitely hold on to your hair sis. Hair grows so with time it will be back. I know Waistlength will take time to regrow but just keep enjoying your hair abt trimming as you go
@@CoilyDiaries Thank you so much sis!! I appreciate you more than you know! 🤗
Try clay masks, bond repair treatments , and protein treatments before cutting sometimes a little extra care will reverse it. Give it 6 months but still trim every 3-4 months.
You are the best, my question to you is: is it ok if I use apple cider in the water when washing out hard water from my hair after I wash my hair❓
100% yes!!!👍🏽
Challenge accepted
love it 🥰
I didn't hear you talk about feed in braids, which are very popular at this time. It allows you to have better access to the roots of the hair, but I'm not sure if they last as long as traditional knotted braids. I have fine hair (type 3b)as well. Should I make adjustments to the challenge? Let me know your thoughts. ✌️
aren’t feed in braids a type of cornrow(flat braid). maybe the only adjustment is that the style won’t last as long on you🤔
@CoilyDiaries Let me clarify. I was talking about individual feed in braids. That's when you start the braid with your natural hair and then feed in pieces of synthetic or human hair.
@@tk7166sorry am late. Aren’t those knotless braids 🤔

Thank you very much, do you mean when we take the cornrows down after 3 months, we only finger detangle and then put them back in cornrows without combing?
if you can other wise gentle with tools
❤
🌺🌺🌺
My hair is so long now I don't know how to comb it😂😂😂 I love being black❤❤❤
you go sis, we love this
I have a question @CoilyDiaries do you use/allow the use rat tail comb when making long term protective styles? Happy new year to you
yeas absolutely but once done I recycle the parts
@@CoilyDiaries sorry do not understand recycle the parts? Like does your stylist use the rat tail comb for combing your hair? Thanks for the prompt response

Cleaning the scalp with acv solution or witch hazel is that an option?
definitely when necessary !🌺
Question: if I work out (sweat heavily) every single day, can I wash once per week? I’ve been doing this but I noticed you said not to. But GIRL the way my scalp be ITCHINGG after day 4 is crazy
If you have to wash just wash but teatree essential oil is a game changer for itch. Cornrows might work best for you ❤️
3:47 you mean 2024 ❤
I plan on getting braids then getting a silk press. Is it recommended to do a protein treatment before I put the braids in and then after a 1 1/2 months, I take them out and do a keratin treatment before the silk press? I want my silk press professional done.
It depends on your hairs condition. Wouldn’t the professional do all necessary treatments prior to pressing the hair?
@@CoilyDiaries probably. I can always ask my hair stylist. She had L’Oréal nature’s made treatment but I want to try the Aphogee method
Well done. Please what of us that do not use wig at all, how can we do 3months
Hi sis braids twists etc can work too
Please within the 3 months are we washing and deep conditioning whilst in the cornrows?
on wash day yes. monthly. two times before your take down in month 3
@CoilyDiaries Pls maam for those of us with short hair the cornrows gets messed up when you wash and they loosen. It's hard for short hair
I'm going to watch the new year hair event coming. Unfortunately I don't have type 4 all around I have very fine hair and it will lock if I don't detaingle . And fake hair is toxic for me . I'm allergic . I'm also not. Wig person, never have been. So I will be doing some revisions to your plan . And then share the results.
Thank you for these inspiring vdos. !!❤❤❤❤✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
sounds great! looking forward to progress in your hair goals!
