Once I stopped being scared of sulfates in shampoo and started clarifying my hair weekly because I use heavy butter and oils, it changed my whole way of seeing my hair's hydration and moisture levels. I had to learn the difference between the two and use that to my advantage. I now use a hair steamer every wash day to really get my deep conditioner to do its job, and I put on my leave-in conditioner and sit under the dryer for about 15 mins, then cool before I proceed with the rest of my routine. It's worked wonders! I don't have to do anything to my hair again until it's time to wash again and it's still moisturized no matter how long I go between washing. I also use a filter on my shower head to soften my water and remove the excess minerals. I've finally gotten my hair to below my bra strap on my back because it's now hydrated and moisturized properly.
@@chanex5324 I use the Daily moisturizer by TGIN, and then my homemade moringa and aloe vera hair butter to seal it all in. I typically braid it up or twist it depending on how much energy I have left (I’m disabled and it takes a lot for me to reach/hold my arms above shoulder level for a long period of time) and then I sit under my hooded dryer until it’s about 80 to 90% dry. I tie it down with a scarf on my edges snd a bonnet over it and I’m done. I typically don’t leave my house more than once a week since 2020, so I don’t worry about styling much. I keep my bonnet on most of the time while I’m in the house to keep my hands out of my head and prevent any unnecessary breakage too.
@@chanex5324 I use TGIN daily moisturizer next and seal it in with my homemade morniga and aloe vera hair butter instead of just oil. It adds yet another layer of moisture and the oils in it seals everything in all in one step. You can skip the TGIN if you want, but you may not get the long lasting moisture without it. I twist or braid it in about 15-20 medium sized sections and that’s it. I wear it in that style until it’s time to wash it again unless it’s somewhere I’m going that requires a more polished style and then I unravel it and wear it out. I’ll braid it again after get home depending on how long until wash day. If it’s within 2 days I’ll just do about 4-6 , but if it’s longer than that I’ll do the original number and pattern from wash day. I’m disabled, so I don’t really leave the house much so it’s fine to keep it in a protective style like that and under my bonnets every day. That keeps my hands out of it and helps me retain length too.
Sis as ALWAYS thank you. I was already using the glycerine as you suggested and that was a game changer but I still felt defeated. I'd spray day and night and still wake up with dry hair. After this video, I sprayed it down, got under the dryer for 30 minutes and then applied the leave in and oil and twisted. Listen, I could feel the difference in my hair immediately !!! I mean IMMEDIATELY!! Thank you!!❤
Thanks for pointing this out. I learn from you too. Initially I was just using distilled but decided spring wouldn’t be too bad without putting much thought to it. It seams spring water is indeed naturally hard but it could be soft and or filtered depending on the company. Either way am sticking to distilled. Thanks heaps 🙏🏽🌺
You are so committed. You reply to every message. Big ups girl. I'll try the heat moisturising routine and finak rinse with still bottlef water. My hair really looks dry and damaged after washing with hard water, I'll definitely invest in bottled water. This natural hair journey is really a trial and error because what works for you might not work for me. I started following you in September, I can see the difference in my hair already. Thank you for your commitment, gives me hope.
keep the hope up sis! yes I reply to every original comment. I get frustrated when I ask questions under other RUclips videos and no response! if you can get distilled water that would be best as it’s heat or kiss with bottled water.
THANK YOU! Appreciate hearing you speak on all of the issues that have been totally frustrating me! These tips are so practical, useful and logical! THANK YOU! Will circle back after trying!
Ty so much for all your work in keeping our coils on point.. I have noticed a slight change n my 4c hair since you turned me on to humectants.. the funny thing is I've always had them in my arsenal but never knew how to use them till I found ur YT.. they really do make a difference.. as for the hard water , mine is and it still works fine.. The added heat concept is a wonderful idea , I will try it going forward.. Peace and Blessings.. MJD
I am definitely going to try this method. I have a twa and my hair is always dry and nothing seemingly works. Thanks very much for your help. Listen this natural hair journey is really quite interesting to say the least. I definitely learn something everyday.
Thank you for your tips. I sat under the dryer with my leave-in yesterday. I am doing a braidout, so I'll see how it feels tomorrow when I take down the braids. 😊
if you use glycerin, your loose hair could revert. this works best when hair is kept in some kind of protective style or braid. another option would be to use much less glycerin so your braid out can hold
Ok.....Distilled Water & Deep Conditioning with (Heat) Added🫡 I'm really enjoying learning all these awesome natural haircare techniques. I know my scalp & hair strands are applauding in appreciation 😄 Thanks Royal Strands Family😁
NGL using different products helped me. Camille rose's honey leave in using it a little thickly even though its said that you dont need very much. Thickly laying it on kept my hair moisturised and hydrated it for days i also use glycerin water 🤸
I will surely try this method to retain moisture. Dry hair is no joke. I always use distilled water for my leave in ect. But I wash with normal water. I will use distilled water again with last rinse. Did in the past. I will add my vegetable glycerin to my aloe leave in today.🎉🎉🎉 I made a batch yesterday. Let me write down the correct way to do this moisture. Thank youuuuu!!😅
For me, when I prepoo with coconut oil it dries my hair out. I changed to qhemet Castro serum for hot oil treatment and made sure my shampoo and conditioner does not have coconut oil in it. My wash day was super moisturizing and I did not have to re moisturize for days.
Do tou exercise? My problem is that i sweat so much when i workout and my job is about 3-6 hrs of endless cardio. My hair gets so wet i have to wear a scarf which doesnt even get all the sweat. So how do i keep my hair moisturized with these conditions?
There are alot of "controlled opposition" on social media. Have to be choosy on which content will be personally beneficial and be "cautious" as well. (Matt 10:16) Thanks for sharing🎉❤
I'm glad that you gave us a suggestion for what to put in our spritz bottles, however, I'm not sure what you meant when you said "aloe". Aloe juice? What kind of aloe? Aloe vera plant? I really need you to be specific. Also, when you said "glycerin", I've heard of nitroglycerin which is a highly explosive liquid, but glycerin in and of itself is not a term that I am familiar with. Where can I purchase this? I'm really looking forward to your answer since I heard you say that you read and answer every comment. Thank you in advance.
of course sis I answer each one ☺️. please see my moisturising routine. aloe juice can be bought on amazon. I use vegetable glycerin. all links in the description
Do you use caster oil to seal hair, after moisturizing process. (With heat for at least 30 minutes) Thank you for you and all the informative information given, loving our natural hair is most vital!! This knowledge is from your our experiences of your haircare, proof that it works.
Two questions. Don't you need to rinse with cool water after to make the cuticles lay down and help seal the hair shaft? Secondly does this method also work for straight natural styles?
I want to keep my cuticle open for my glycerin spritz. when I get it in, am ready to close. second question: Does what method work for straight natural styles? do you mean like a blow out and silk press? and do you mean the moisturizing method? works for anyone but glycerin can cause your hair to frizz so straight naturals might struggle.
@@CoilyDiaries yes thank you, that's exactly what I thought. I just had a blow dry and flat iron and now I have lots of shedding and breakage. I normally wear it natural and use glycerin but the Irish and the Cameroon in my hair's DNA do not get along! 😅 (fairy knots) I needed a trim so I went to a stylist. Now that salon is crossed off my list. One of the cons of moving to a new city. 😭 Thanks so much for your quick response and great advice! ❤️
Love your content. I just learned this as well about lifting the cuticle in order to hydrate especially 4c hair. However did you say sit under the dryer from 30 minutes to 2 hours? It’s the 2 hours that I’m questioning.
what section are you referring to? I think am trying to say 30 mins under dryer and then 2 hrs if not using heat. I never sit for longer than 30 under a dryer
@@CoilyDiaries I’m sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. It’s around the 12:01 mark in the video. I should have known better. No one would sit under a dryer for 2 hours. I misunderstood.
Hmm 🤔 but what if you don't have a dryer? Is there any other alternative? Coz I don't have a dryer nor any heat machine if I'm correct 😂. So please, what else?
Hi Coily D., Could you advise me on how to work hydration care so that it will be able to be done in combination with the hairstyling method I use or will I have to go to a different hairstyle. The following is how I style my hair after a wash & condition. Apply leave in, Detangle, Apply a hard cast type gel, Then the style and let air dry and harden. Then let it stay this way until next wash day, with resmoothing of occasional fuzzy areas that may show up. Please let me know what you think. Thanks
Thank You for your wonderful videos. I just found you on RUclips - So I have been selectively binge-watching starting about a year ago. I wear a 6-inch "afro." -On a non-wash day, should I add castor oil essential oil to the Aloe-Gyerine water? Next - spritz my hair and sit under a dryer, then apply the Shea moisture leave-in conditioner. Or would you spritz in a "watered down" Shea moisture? Again, Thanks for the Great Infomation😊
Welcome aboard! Is this an Afro with your own hair? the essential oils are for the scalp so wouldn’t necessarily add them to what’s going onto the hair. I would apply Shea after sitting under heat

Glycerin 25%

So sis please can i spray hair tea with glycerine everyday without any side effect?
How do we get the aloe products and we need examples of such product
Spring water is high in minerals. It's from nature. Distilled would be better, it's void of minerals.

As a high porosity natural applying heat to my open cuticles is a no go. Film forming humectants are a game changer.

Do you believe if a person uses grease on wash day the grease thats on there wont allow anything to penetrate the hair days later?
no I don’t. I think it’s harder to get moisture in and out once grease is applied but not impossible
I just realized that I’ve been using to much glycerine but in my spritz is green tea so maybe I need a bit more glycerin because tea can be drying
try a few ratios to find your best fit

Glycerine turns my hair into an afro. What else can be used instead of glycerine?
does that to us all. it’s best to use it when your hair is braided. aloe is an option but nothing beats glycerin. try reducing the ratios
