She’s not lying. I grow an inch a month. I keep my hair in cornrows 3-4 months. Wash my hair once a month and deep condition while in braids. Everyday I put some type nourishing serum in my hair. I mix different things that are natural but I also use minoxidil. When I am ready to take my hair out I saturate it with oil glycerin and aloe Vera. No breakage. I wash and deep condition in twists and it gets re- braided. I do inverted scalp massages. My hair is so long and thick and at 42 yo my hair has never been like this
Did exactly this with single twists/ braids repeatedly a few years ago, hair grew, was healthy and thriving! My lazy self loves this... low/no manipulation.
I want to do this but I go to a PWI🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I’ve been wrapping my hair for a while now and I just want to leave my hair in braids while I have my hair wrapped but I always feared that if I do that, my braids would be poking out.
@@wherethequietbeingsgoI went to a pwi 3 years ago and that’s when I finally felt “free” enough to just wear twist every day, I retained a lot of length. You’re paying to be there, you should be able to wear your hair however(if that’s what you’re afraid of)
@wherethequietbeingsgo I hope you feel better in knowing most people at a PWI don't know what it's supposed to look like in the first place.😂😂 i would have my braid in for ways longer than I should've
I will definitely be trying this! I'm already planning on stretching my 2 week old twists to one month! Please which protein treatment would you recommend for someone with fine, low porosity hair?
She giving yall the secrets better listen up. I'm waist length too & this is what I do. I wear passion twists or braids for 3 months at a time & wash my hair in those protective styles 1x per month , re-twist or re-braid only the front visible row & keep rocking them. Do a complete takedown at the end of those 3 months and immediately put the style back in & do it again.
@@MahoganieBeautie It's always dry after takedown b/c of the edge control / harder products built up ( for me anyway ) so before installing the style you can just moisturize your hair w/ leave in conditioner & after take down pre-poo BEFORE washing it as to NOT have over excessive hair shed.
KEY TO HAIR RETENTION LITTLE MANIPULATION (handle hair loose 4× a year) 1. Wash, Condition, Protein treatment, Moisturise, Stretch and Braid. 2. Keep scalp and hair clean and moisturise (weekly) 3. Wash hair and treatment in bread for month 1 to 2. 4. Month 3 take out the braids and repeat step 1.
The picture of your hair blown out has been on my vision board for over a year. I just found your channel a few weeks ago. I'm so excited for my hair growth journey!
Years ago, I've done the cornrows as a protective style left in for 3 months at a time and washed and conditioned my hair with the cornrows in. I used Softee aloe vera curl activator as my "moisturizer." I did this for 6 months during the spring and summer months when hair grows the fastest. I wore wigs during that time. My hair grew long. (It's now at almost tailbone length after clipping the ends, and I have my hair tucked away in 4 platts.). Thanks for sharing, CD🎉
I have done this with box braids and extensions. I moisturize every other day, massage my scalp, and wash my hair every week or every two weeks. I took my braids out every three months. You are right your hair will grow with less manipulation.
LISTEN UP LADIES ‼️‼️ she absolutely correct and im a 53 year old natural beauty ‼️ I've been doing this routine for years abd its by fat the BEST routine with my long natural hair even in my 50s my hair is still lomg healthy and strong ‼️ I'm a lazy natural so cornrows + wigs = long natural healthy hair‼️‼️
I call you a hair guru. Your work, and that of other naturals, is primordial in restoring the beauty and the confidence of Black women. May your and all other natural hair channels thrive and go viral! THANK YOU 💖💖😎
Why didn't I hear this sooner Am really impressed I'll start doing this Thanks dear for sharing No one has ever really said how to grow natural hair the way you are saying
Thank you for this. Been natural for over a decade. Been told that natural hair is “so versatile” and there’s “so much you can do!!” Which yes is true… But what those people don’t mention is by doing the most and changing your hair all the time, that is all a lot of manipulation. I have high shrinkage, very tightly coiled 4C hair. Constant manipulation just doesn’t lead to hair growth for me. Even if I’m using good products. My hair will tangle more and break. These days I am doing a similar routine. I don’t know how to cornrow but I put my hair in small braids. I undo the braids to wash and condition once a month. I then blow dry using my Revair and then I immediately moisturize and rebraid. My hair is kept in these braids until the next wash day. And I have been wearing wigs to cover them. After several months of this, it has decreased tangling and lead to much more length retention. It does indeed feel like a sacrifice. When I first went natural I fell in love with all the different styles you can do and the look of fros. But over a decade later I still do not have long hair, which frustrates me. I’ve come to realize that I simply don’t like how short hair looks on me.😭And I’m TIRED of settling for short hair. I want my hair to grow. I want long hair!!! I have NEVER had long hair before in my life, even as a kid. Even when relaxed. It has ALWAYS been short. So yes, having long hair would mean a lot. And I’m facing the reality that in order for my hair to grow, I have to essentially leave it alone majority of the time. No playing around with twist outs and braid outs every week. There’s just no way around that. I have to make the sacrifice. My hair is too delicate to thrive otherwise.
Yesss! Thank you sis🥳👏. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm a low maintenance kind of girl. I’ve experienced “accidental growth” leaving in box braids and keeping cornrows under wigs”. After hearing your journey/routine, I’m ready to start my tailbone length journey today! Let’s Go!😊👏
Usually don't comment but I found you on Jan. 8th and my hair has been flourishing 🙌 In this busy last few years I've neglected my hair so much, keeping in small knotless braids and sew ins and never really taking care of my hair underneath. Rough stylists thinned out my hair and edges while I was growing out the texturizer I put in my hair from 2022 (thankfully those straight ends are all gone now) Needless to say, you're the first person I found with this simple routine to bring my hair back to health by leaving it alone and learning how to properly moisturize. Now I keep coming back for these reminders and to stay motivated on this journey. I've been keeping flat twists under wigs but I've taken them down at least once a week because I'm just so happy to see my hair in better shape 😅 Goal is trying to keep cornrows in for the whole month of February! Thank you so much for putting out these messages.
Me too! And it will work on relaxed hair also. I only perm 3x a year for 38yrs, since 14yo. I'll be 52 this month. My hair is in 2braids/2plaits or a low bun 95% of the time. I'm already waist length but I want my fullness back that I lost from when I stopped eating meat for 6yrs and lost WAAYY TOO MUCH PROTEIN😢. Now I eat turkey and chicken again🥰👏. God bless
@@zodidimhlana5978you finger detangle with the glycerin and oil, SLOWLY and PATIENTLY 🙏. Its amazing and you will save much hair. Also incorporate Amla and Fenugreek,rosemary,cloves to your oil, I have waay less breakage now. Watch Jen and Jess African twins w long hair yt channel(they have a GREAT oil video ) that I copied 😊and Curly proverbs she explains the benefits of Amla and fenugreek 🙏 and shows pics of her before and after growth is Amazing🙏
How can you wash your hair in cornrows if your hair is relaxed? I have to pull out my cornrows and wash my hair. I do everything she says already. I'm just curious as also being relaxed how you guys wash your hair in cornrows. N.b. this is cornrows with your natural hair not cornrows with braided her that I can do no problem.
I'm just here for vibes ✨️😌 I think my goal for this year is moisture and less breakage. Once I figure out a good routine for myself, then i'll think about my journey to long, luscious locs ☺️ Keeping this advice in my arsenal, though. Loving the videos, keep them coming 💛🌻
We are 1month gone 🎉🎉🎉i started mine on 28th dec made my medium braids an they are now looking old 😂😂😂 but no problem they must make the 3months by force by fire😂😂😂
I’m on year 3 after chopping it ALL off and I’ve been wearing wigs the whole 3 years with some different style whenever I get tired of wigs. I’m at bra length right now. I wash, moisturize, oil then braid right back up monthly. I used heat maybe twice a year. Only thing, I don’t handle my hair as gently as I should. My length in just 3 years has surpassed others that’s been trying to grow theirs for years. It’s truth to what she’s saying.
I really enjoy your videos, very knowledgeable, thanks for sharing, I just wanted to add your info is spot on, I did almost every thing you mentioned in your video, my natural hair journey started November 2020 today I am 3 inches shy of tail bone length, good luck to everyone on their hair journey.
I agree with everything you say except washing hair in cornrow. The residue will be accumulating under the cornrow which might cause scalp issue. I also think the density of the hair matters.
Hair expands when being washed. What are you putting in your hair that has residue? Sounds strange. I always wash my hair in yarn braids and it gets properly cleaned. I let it dry in the yarn so it is stretched before I can attend to it.
@@LovelySecretOXOX wait a minute! We are talking about washing hair in cornrows ma’am or sir and we are not definitely talking about hair growth. You completely miss the point.
@@etoilemerveilleuse3459 LOOK excuse me SIR, DUDE LADY!! Fall backY!!! . It MOST DEFINITELY WORK!!! Dirt make that shit grow it won’t hurt!!! Never missing the point!!!! My hair is DOWN MY BACK DOING THIS!!!
This is true people. I did something similarly to this and returned so much length in2 years. PS I have a relaxed hair. My hair was just below my should but now at the middle of my back. Thank you lady do telling the truth😊
I tried it. I'm mid back passed bracstap now. I also stopped dying my hair. Two things happened. I'm a grayish white blond now. But it's long. I love it.
I was getting really sad wearing my twists/braids in these not so pretty styles for 3 months (washing my hair in the same style too to avoid detangle) . I only felt prettyish covering the frizz with a scarf. But once I took it all down I could NOT BELIEVE the thickness I had and felt in love with my hair all over again. I realized I just need to have more variety so now I opped for wearing glueless wigs with a scarf to cover the lace. I feel so much better. Knotless braids are so pretty but I tried that route. It's expensive you can't trust somebody else detangling your hair gently (my mistake I lost so much density) yes I did straighten before going the next times I went but I realized the weight from the synthetic hair that braided into my scalp was causing issues for my lifestyle.
Facts🏆 Very true information. I went natural in 2011 and my stylist said when it comes to natural hair, “Less is Best”. I kept my styles simple and maintained mid-back length. For a year now, I’ve only done the most lazy twists and my hair is now waist length. This video is very accurate. Thanks for sharing! 🫶🏾
I love your videos! I just started watching you early January. And I had my hair in cornrows this whole month! I’m going to try all of February as well and hopefully I can make it to the third month. I’ve been wearing the headband wigs to switch it up too!! Good luck to those who are on this waist length journey too and I hope y’all stay consistent 😊🎉❤
1st Wash, dc, protein tx. 2. Cornrows/3strand braids, wig, 3.moisturize every wk, massage to get blood flow to scalp 4. each month wash/dc/protein. 5. 3rd month unloose cornrows & wash it.
Great info. I love watching your channel for the awesome tips. As a matter of fact, 8 weeks ago I started your aggressive length challenge. It went pretty well with my own hair in big plaits. However, beginning this week I'm trying to go 12 weeks this time.
I love this routine, it's great for beginners. It really is simple to grow natural hair. I believe it's because we were conditioned to hate our hair that we think it's more difficult to take care of it than it actually is. Thanks Coily 🌸🌸
I maintain my daughter’s hair…and I do the VERY least with it. Her hair is all the way down her back and she’s 7. Regrowing my own hair now after a big chop following locs. Can’t wait to catch up to her. 😊
i dont wash until the end of month 3. but i think i would grow more if i did because that a good source of hydration and my hair craves hydration and sealing.
However: your scalp needs to be healthy to be able to grow and maintain your hair. Not washing it can cause it to not be healthy. So be careful, watch out for your scalp. Wash if you need to. Washing is less bad than your scalp being messed up. I lived through the "no poo" (no shampoo) bs of the raw vegan girlies. My scalp absolutely needs washing at the very least every 2 weeks, but usually 1 week depending on what I've been up to. And that's okay.
You are speaking the truth!!!!!!!!!! The stylist i went to couldn't necessarily tell me how to grow my hair, but i had already been growing my hair through protective styles i just lacked a hydration and moisturizing routine so would get split ends. I love that you are so knowladgeable and actually went through with it so you can share the info. Love that!!!!!!!!!!!! but once you want to wear it loose make sure their is a hydration and moisturizer, wash day, and gentle detangling going in.
Thank you girl, i jave never come accross an elaborative routine for rentention like this one and since i was about to start doing cornrows for retention thi video is so helpful, again thanks ablot girl and be blessed❤
Moisturising today then this weekend doing henna treatment then putting hair back into mini twists. Already finished month 1, I've noticed a difference in detangling how much shed and broken hair I had vs December detangle. Adding in green tea rinses this month to see if that will show a difference in shedding.
I kinda have the same routine. Difference being I have my wash day then put my hair in minibraids for two months. I picked minibraids because with them I can more easily access my scalp and "more" of my hair. I rinse my scalp weekly with an ACV rinse and then apply oil on it, because I used to have a dry scalp, and this has helped me a lot with this issue. I moisturize my hair when needed throughout the week. I started this routine back in October 2023 with armpit-length hair and my hair is already brastrap! It's insane even when I think about it. I plan to keep this routine till dcember 2026, when reaching waist length.
Cornrows were my go to but for this year I decided to try mini braids (not the best idea) I loveeee my hair in braids and i find myself letting the braids hang down and flipping them and touching them constantly 🙃 so after the three months I'm going to go back to cornrows they're easier for me to ignore. But everything you say is the TRUTH I was bald in 2020 almost got to bra strap in 2023 but I cut my hair to shoulder length I'm currently back at Armpit length and I'm trying to retain length aggressively for my graduation in November.
So glad others will consider the method. I have heard of others having success with this minimalist and super low manipulation approach. I wish you all success in reaching your hair dreams 💓✨ I wish I could get braids, but the truth is that I have serious dandruff. Going 1 week without thoroughly scrubbing my scalp, is very hard! the dandruff and scales on my scalp just in one week are serious. It's not possible for me to wash thoroughly with my hair braided because of the amount of scrubbing I have to do. This is why I don't spend time or money on braids, I would last 1 week before they were ruined from the scrubbing that I have to do to clean my scalp sufficiently. Washing gently would do nothing for me, and might make the dandruff worse. Probably would have a skin infection if I actually tried this for a few weeks😅. I wash my hair every 3-4 days. I have tried so much over the years to at least EXTEND the amount of time between washes and nothing has worked. the latest has been fenugreek, infused in oil, I also tried it as tea that I used on my scalp.
Glovers Mane will remove the dandruff flakes dermatitis psoriasis you can do this oil treatment before you shampoo your hair every two weeks every three weeks because I’ve had clients that had dermatitis and it removed the Bacteria. Also eating turmeric each day works miracles.
totally understand. excessive dandruff is not normal. consider getting it checked. also, prolonging your wash day by a day each time might teach your scalp to regulate itself better 🌺
I think this was how i grew my hair out. I recently chopped it and i want to grow it again. I was feeling overwhelmed until this video. I couldnt remember anything about the growing process. Thank you!
Yeah, I’m ready to simplify things and have a routine. I’m only concerned about how to pivot in the summertime. It’s waaaaaay too hot to be sporting a wig. 😅 Maybe that’s when I can try some box braids via crochet. I’ve got some hair that looks just like mine that might work for at least 6 weeks if my hair isn’t too long by then. 😊 Thanks for the inspiration! You’re beautiful and lovely. 🤩
This would definitely work, I always had my hair in two braids as a child and it was pretty long, but the minimal handling time meant I had NO idea how to take care of my hair once I took over, and I just wonder if this method is the best for someone who is just starting on their hair journey. What happens when you achieve the length, but you don't know how to take care of your hair at that length? 🤔
great question. I didn’t necessarily say it was a method for one starting off on their journey. in fact a few people with TWAs have asked how to join the challenge and I told them to leave the TWA alone! I think Afro hair should be very simple and it doesn’t take much to learn your hair. the discipline patience gentle detangling moisturizing etc will be lessons for life. once people find out they CAN achieve their hair goals, they can become motivated to learn more about their hair.
I had a similar experience. Personally I would say you can have the goal of health or length retention. If you focus on health you can learn how to detangle, style, protective style. Maybe you put it in braids during the winter or during the summer. The trial and error might mean you might want to do regular trims and maybe you won’t retain as much. However, I may not be waist length but I have hair at about my armpits. My hair falls differently in twist outs now vs when it was above shoulder length. It also takes much longer to style (unless it’s a wash and go). People I know that use braids and weaves for length often tend to cut their hair or straighten it for maintenance. It’s really important to get to know your hair before putting it away (if possible). For some family members they do these protective style’s or go to salon because it’s easier for them and fits with their schedule
if your ends are healthy their is no need to trim the hair at all. If there is a fairy knot just trim that fairy knot . No need to cut of healthy hair ends.
@morethanyourbasics this is spot on. I’m on a long hair journey now but I spent the last 3 years really getting to know my hair and if I’d skipped that phase before going on this journey, I’m certain I would’ve lost my length. For most of us who only went natural as adults, there’s a learning curve that you just have to go through. Playing with your hair, trying products, hairstyles, that’s all part of the process. They don’t call it a “natural hair journey” for nothing!
Yesss just finished month 1 will be washing my hair this weekend. For me I’m going to shampoo condition deep condition, hydrate and moisturize my hair and then take one twist down at a time and retwist it back
Currently doing doing this on my twa with mini braids. I workout and sweat quite a lot so I need to wash my scalp at least every 2 weeks. Love the tips and you moisturiser retention tips are 💯% on point ❤
@@CoilyDiariesgirl my hair grew almost 1 inch over the first month. I will have to undo, wash my hair and re-braid it tomorrow. Your method along with the JBCO I got straight out of Kingston, Jamaica 🇯🇲
I recently combed out my locs after 7 years and I have nearly waist-length hair now. However, I'm dreading the hair routine. I'm definitely going to try this method because I Feel like my hair thrives when it is left alone. For years before my locs it was so hard to grow my hair properly. Dreads caused my hair to grow, and even when combing them out, I find my hair is wayyy softer and healthier than its ever been my whole life. I want to maintain this and grow it even longer. Im definately going to be giving this a try!
I'm 3 weeks into this routine using small plaits/medium braids because I need maximum scalp access, whew! One thing I noticed during the wash before starting that really helps minimize breakage is WEARING GLOVES! Smoothest wash day I've ever experienced So glad i found this vid & your channel bc I was kinda just winging it from another creator's short form content. This is much more detailed yet straightforward & simply structured so thank you! Very excited for this journey🙌🏾
I am about to deploy and came across this video in time! I have been natural for a decade and have been trying to crack the code on my hair. I have not been able to grow my hair past shoulder length and I’m trying to confirm What will work. This may be it! I’m excited to try this along with my hair care routine.
From April 2023 to April 2024 my hair has grown 12 inches. Low manipulation and protective styling are KEY. However, I never cornrow or braid my hair. It is very important to stick to a simple healthy haircare routine that works for you. Everyone is unique and has different protective hair styles that they like best. I only use a DIY homemade organic protein treatment 3 times per year. I think people must be careful with protein treatments. You don’t want to overdo it. I wash and deep condition my hair 2 times per month. I work from home and unless I go out or have to be camera ready for a Zoom meeting, I keep my hair all day in a scarf and bonnet. I only gently detangle my hair once a week with a wide tooth comb. Keeping your scalp oiled and your hair moisturized is important. I use mostly all natural organic products on my hair. My only hair style is a protective bun that I keep covered with a wig cap/stocking cap. Then I have several drawstring ponytails I wear over my protective bun. Even when I style my hair into a bun, I do not comb it. Low manipulation is very KEY.
@@zodidimhlana5978 Great Questions! I recently discovered that detangling my hair with a wide-tooth comb before I wash it is KEY. That makes it so easy to detangle at the end of wash day. My protective style is a bun. And I protect my bun by wrapping it in a stocking cap and wearing a drawstring ponytail over my bun to look cute.👍😊
@@CoilyDiaries cornrows are excellent,mini twists and my favourite but I will do medium braids half way and the twist half way to the ends,in that way it will last longer. Cornrows need my hair to be blow dried and I don't wanna blow dry, I want to be heat free so my hair can recover
Ohhh snap this is nice, I've been doing something similar wish but with mini twist, but I take them out every month and put them right back in (One twist at a time). Ive been doing this for 4 months so far and feel like there's growth. I think this is something I may be able to do , and then Ill see if Im at my goal length at the end of nursing school (2 years left).
@@ArabiaButtkiss-iy5el currently still trying other options. Just seeing what works for me long-term Tried mini twists but my hair is fairly low density so there are a lot of gaps when I do them. Large flat twists work for me but they don’t last so long and I have to redo them ~1 week Gonna try smaller flat twists next as they don’t tend to cause me breakage
I’m going to try this but with natural hair braids. I will take down my style every month to wash. I cannot wash my hair in the style because it causes tangles. This is a great base routine it can be flexible for everyone. Great advice cozily diaries ❤
I can attest to this! 👏🏾 But I would definitely trim atleast twice a year! You don’t want to work so hard just to loose it all from splits continuing up the hair shaft, this happen to me! I reached arm pit length for the first time in my life but a good 3 inches were split ends because I never trimmed the whole 2 years lol I was so upset 😢 You shouldn’t have very many splits with the low manipulation so don’t worry about loosing length. I also recommend crocheting your ends into your braids to tuck them away! It’ll reduce friction and keep them moisturized which will help avoid splits! And BE GENTLE WHEN DETANGLING! ❤
@@Wendy-sb6en Every blue moon but if not like she stated in the video I definitely stretch my hair to avoid single strand knots & tangles. I normally do 4-6 plaits (depending on length) air dry and then cornrow 😊
Awesome! I have heard of this cornrow technique, but never broken down in the way you did it here. I'm already at waist length, but not all my my hair is that same length. I use bleach, so I have had a few setbacks the past year that left me at the same length. But I want something different now to keep the ends tucked and no longer breaking off. I am going to already be doing more protein treatments this year and also back to deep conditioning. I have been slacking on that for a bit. Thank you!
I use alcohol free witch hazel when I clean my daughter’s scalp while wearing braids so she doesn’t need to shampoo. Just purchased the Malibu hard water shampoo and conditioner set I see on your dresser of this video and mentioned in another video as really good. Definitely on my way to waist length hair. When long enough I’ll try the old school Goddess cornrows in a top bun. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
I really wish you could be my personal hair stylist❤ but since that's not the case, I'll learn with you and work with you from where I am and with what I have. And mehn, you just keep getting more and more beautiful ❤️🥰😍 January is gone already so there's no time to waste! This my hair must grow by fire by force 😂
I started my first week in mini braids, not too mini...thinking of the take down. Really loving this low manipulation hair style, better than the twists that I would touch up more frequently. Mmmm not a cornrows fan...
I just started watching this video and have not watched the entire video as yet. I will watch the entire video. I just wanted to jump in to say. I just got back to my healthy hair care journey 1 year ago. And in one year I have grown my hair from shoulder length to just past mid back, pass my bra. My hair will be to my waist by next year. This means I will have grown my hair from shoulder length to waist length in 2 years.
@@TheJanicetunes My routine is kind of long, but not difficult. I will try to give you the highlights here. Stick to a consistent routine that works for you. I wash my hair every other week. I do a hot oil pre-poo the night before wash day, keeping in the oil overnight with a plastic cap and sit under a hooded dryer for 25 minutes in the morning. Then I wash and deep condition, also leaving in my deep conditioner with a plastic cap on overnight and sit under a hooded dryer for 25 minutes the next morning. It’s important to keep your hair moisturized and in a protective style that works for you. I keep my hair in a protective bun. I cover my bun with a stocking cap/wig cap and then put a drawstring ponytail over my bun to look cute. I work from home, so I do not have to style my hair every day. When I am home my hair is in a silk/satin bonnet all day. Always sleep with a silk/satin bonnet and I also have satin pillowcase. It’s important to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and take vitamins. I hope this is helpful!👍😊
@@cbchang6200 wow thank you so much for taking the time to write your steps down❤❤❤ Its so appreciated! Im thinking now that its not so much about the products but about the routine. Im learning this more and more. As a curly girl we get inundated with product promises that this is the one that will grow your hair quick, but it really isnt that. Routine is the key. Thank you for sharing. I will be def doing your steps, adjusting and tweaking for my hair but u def gave me a solid foundation. Many blessings to you.❤❤
It's one o'clock in the morning and I stumbled on to your channel. I am so excited to start. My hair has been in cornrows for a week, so I am going to continue the process. Thank you so much for making it sample to follow.
OMG!!!! I had to undo my hair for my dad's funeral on the 20th of April. I couldn't believe it😮 my hair was down to my chin when I started . Now, it's slightly touching my chest. OMG!! I am so excited. Right after the funeral that evening my hair was back in cornrows 😊 I have a three year plan to grow my hair down to my breast. Again , thank you for making this straightforward and simple.
I have fine hair and I’m sceptical about washing it in cornrows. It’s very likely there will be some build up after 3 months and my hair just cannot withstand build up, no matter how careful I am with it. We need a fine hair girlie to report back after trying it 😅
@luvfeelinpretty I have fine, kinky textured hair. If you have fine, looser textured hair, you may be fine. But if it’s kinky like mine, don’t wash your hair in corn rows, or any protective style for that matter. You WILL have a matted, tangled mess. 😅 Been there and I’m still traumatized! 😆 I’m doing this challenge all year, Lord willing, but I’m keeping my scalp clean with tea tree, rosemary and MSM spritz. I will wash thoroughly every 3 months.
I have fine hair and have washed in cornrows. I’m at bra strap length. I usually will keep it in for a month or a month and a half, washing every other week. There was some matting and it is tedious to take down, but the growth SO WORTH IT LOL. Tried something different last time and did the take down on on freshly washed hair instead of taking it down and then washing and found it to be a lot easier. That being said I don’t know how I feel about going a whole 3 months, that scares me. Maybe I’ll stick with every six weeks. I’ll aim for two months and see how it goes. Best of luck to everyone and happy growing. 😊 Also, I like the idea of re-doing each cornrow as you take it down instead of undoing your entire head all at once. Thank you so much for the video, keep ‘em coming ❤️
After watching this video I tried this from February to October & I'm in complete and utter shock at the results! I've been natural from chemicals since 2012 & this is the 1 thing that has TRULY given me the results!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I’m not sure I can go 3 months but I will start a self challenge and commit to 6 weeks then then do complete wash day routine and renew cornrows; I’ll then and try for 8 weeks and reoeat. Then 10 weeks and reoeat to finally train my hair to get to 12 weeks. What are your thoughts on that?
Truest thing ever. I’m 🇻🇪🇮🇳My hair was 30 inches at 7 years old. I got it cut off to 18 inches when I was 12, I’m 16 now and It’s currently 24 inches but I noticed a difference when I started doing the inversion method, oiling, and braiding it. Also for scalp psoriasis use blue magic mixed with Alma powder!!!! Helped tremendously.
I simply wash and braid my hair in box braids. They stay in for at least 4 months. I have done this for years. My rate of growth continues to be phenomenal.
The way my crazy scalp operates during change of season this is a non for me. 😂 I will be doing mini flat twists as a protective style throughout the spring and summer. Washing my hair 1 to 2 times a month (washing every 3 weeks) I also keep my hair stretched 100% of the time. I never let my hair shrink up.
I’m gonna do this. I’ve been doing twist for the past 2 months. Her method is good. I’m gonna do it. I want to have something where I don’t touch my hair but not use weave.
My 4a is so fine I would have to douse it in mousse to keep it braided. Either that or grip the hair so tight it would break. I love the minimal manipulation theory though.
Same here but I remember getting crochet braids in 2019 and got a ton of growth! But the girl didn’t braids tight and the crochet kept my hair from getting frizzy.
❤❤This does work, I do it even when I wear extensions... Buildup is not problem if its being thoroughly washed and if your scalp is inflamed choosing the right natural product and using less product in your head is better. I find using aloes for and teatree oil helpful
I would not advise washing in cornrows three months in a row. That is a recipe for a lot of matting for type 4's. I deep steam deep condition once a month and then wash my scalp mid month in cornrows. I then take down the cornrows once a month so I can steam deep condition and re-do the cornrows. This way I get minimum matting and lose minimal hair when I detangle. BTW I detangle and comb my own hair during the deep conditioning process - not the hairdresser.
I agree. 3 months is too long to wash in any type of braids or twists. Once a month is the max for type 4. If I'm being honest, 3 weeks in the hair tangles and mats. These ideas are detrimental just to get to WL hair. Handling loose hair once a month will get you to length goal and your scalp and tangle free hair will thank you. Please don't follow the ideas of others because it could cause unnecessary issues for your hair. Leaving in braids for 3 months (even cornrows) is way to long. I promise, you will have hell to pay in detangling. ❤
@@SH-vj2ce Been there, done that many times. Washed in between as well. No tangles or matting. My hair was prepped and sealed prior to the braids. Hair grew very long (down my back), so I think I know a little something about my own hair. I'll keep doing me.

Hi..sis..i came across yr channel 2 momths ago..while i decided to start transitionkng frm relaxed to natural hair..my hair by tgen was 5 months pkst relaxer n had grown like 2 centimeteres or 2 .5 cm.Inshort i foowed yr avise..i dd the 6 week hair challeng..n actually managed to go up2 week 7 but had ti wash n unravek my hair due to product build up n frankly i had grown tired of seeing my raggedy hair since i m a hijabi girl.My hair grew 2 centimeteres more during that tkm3..its flourishing n healthier..n i hooe to stick to this routine n reach ny hair goals.my onky prpblem is my hair was abit matted n i lost a few of my hair to knots that wudnt unravel Edit.sorry for the typos i was in a Rush
no worries about typos! glad you are seeing progress with your hair. how where you wearing your hair during the challenge? lots of oil particularly at the nape can help reduce matting. if keeping the style for longer, redoing the perimeter can also help🥰
@CoilyDiaries actually it grew to 5.5 centimeterss lol...n yes I was oiling it almost on a daily basis n using lesv3 in conditioner as well..i think I ddnt finger detangle well enaf seeing as it was my 1st time that's why my hairknotted up particularly at the crown area after shampooing n conditionimg
but do you not feel your scalp becoming sensitive because of the lack of hair exercise? I think I detangled my hair 4 times last year and im paying the price this year with my hair being EXCRUCIATING PAINFULLY tender.
That happened to me too. But I think it was because my scalp being exposed in the braids for a year straight. I drastically change my parts now- not just reusing the same ones. If I used small- 32, next I use 6 for the whole head. And so on, back and forth.
I just came across your channel on my feed today and I subscribed as soon as I watched this video of this powerful hair growth strategy. I am so motivated at its simplicity. Currently in small single stranded twists and putting a wig on every morning when I leave the house. My hair has thinned out so much from breakage and my edges are pretty much non-existent. Makes me sad. I’ve been moisturizing my edges with oils daily since January to grow them back and started doing protein treatments on my last wash day two weeks ago. I was going to take my twists down for my next wash day and re-twist them afterwards but I’m going to stick with your strategy and wash my hair with the twists every month until month 3! Thank you so much for these amazing tips! ❤ God bless you 🙏🏽.
Twists don’t last as long as braids and once washed, especially mini twists the take down can be very tedious. Just a caution. I have done a video how I unravel my dry mini twists post wash. Might be helpful. Otherwise do braids or take down the twists earlier and re- install
@@CoilyDiaries Thank you for those details. Yeah I was in a hurry when I did my last wash so it was just easier and faster to do the twists, otherwise the plan was cornrows. But you are right, twists don’t last as long. They are pretty rough now because I’ve been oiling and massaging my scalp every night. They look like mini twists because my hair has gotten extremely thin so I don’t have a lot of hair hence no volume and by default they look like mini twists. I only have about 16-18 twists total lol 😂. But I’m washing my hair tomorrow so I’ll do cornrows this time. Or do you think I should do the cornrows without washing it now and wait another two weeks since I washed it two weeks ago?
inversion method and msg..worked for me. you have beautiful hair . I just can't go that long without detangling.. but I respect the practice .. much love to0 you
She’s not lying. I grow an inch a month. I keep my hair in cornrows 3-4 months. Wash my hair once a month and deep condition while in braids. Everyday I put some type nourishing serum in my hair. I mix different things that are natural but I also use minoxidil. When I am ready to take my hair out I saturate it with oil glycerin and aloe Vera. No breakage. I wash and deep condition in twists and it gets re- braided. I do inverted scalp massages. My hair is so long and thick and at 42 yo my hair has never been like this
thank for sharing this 🌺
I do also / use that prescription by dermatologist only problem is when you stop using the growth falls out , it’s a lifetime drug
When and how do you detangle your hair?
What is a good deep condition?
I don't think it really counts if even you stop the medicine your hair all falls out
Did exactly this with single twists/ braids repeatedly a few years ago, hair grew, was healthy and thriving! My lazy self loves this... low/no manipulation.
pretty much “chilling” routine. no stress!
I want to do this but I go to a PWI🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I’ve been wrapping my hair for a while now and I just want to leave my hair in braids while I have my hair wrapped but I always feared that if I do that, my braids would be poking out.
@@wherethequietbeingsgoI went to a pwi 3 years ago and that’s when I finally felt “free” enough to just wear twist every day, I retained a lot of length. You’re paying to be there, you should be able to wear your hair however(if that’s what you’re afraid of)
@wherethequietbeingsgo I hope you feel better in knowing most people at a PWI don't know what it's supposed to look like in the first place.😂😂 i would have my braid in for ways longer than I should've
I will definitely be trying this! I'm already planning on stretching my 2 week old twists to one month! Please which protein treatment would you recommend for someone with fine, low porosity hair?
She giving yall the secrets better listen up. I'm waist length too & this is what I do. I wear passion twists or braids for 3 months at a time & wash my hair in those protective styles 1x per month , re-twist or re-braid only the front visible row & keep rocking them. Do a complete takedown at the end of those 3 months and immediately put the style back in & do it again.
wow! that’s exactly the same!😍😍
How do you keep your hair from drying out and matting up? I’ve done this and reached bra strap length, but my hair was too dry and brittle!
@@MahoganieBeautie It's always dry after takedown b/c of the edge control / harder products built up ( for me anyway ) so before installing the style you can just moisturize your hair w/ leave in conditioner & after take down pre-poo BEFORE washing it as to NOT have over excessive hair shed.
what's the point of having long hair if you always have fake hair on it?
@@ambrosia1917 it’s means to an end. It’s not a permanent routine
KEY TO HAIR RETENTION LITTLE MANIPULATION (handle hair loose 4× a year)
1. Wash, Condition, Protein treatment, Moisturise, Stretch and Braid.
2. Keep scalp and hair clean and moisturise (weekly)
3. Wash hair and treatment in bread for month 1 to 2.
4. Month 3 take out the braids and repeat step 1.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 you got it!
@@CoilyDiaries thanks
What’s treatment in bread?
@@brandylove17 Meant wash and treat hair in braids. Whatever hair treatment you choose to do.
@@HawaBintYusuf oh ok thank you ☺️
The picture of your hair blown out has been on my vision board for over a year. I just found your channel a few weeks ago. I'm so excited for my hair growth journey!
Awesome! let’s do it sis🩷
Years ago, I've done the cornrows as a protective style left in for 3 months at a time and washed and conditioned my hair with the cornrows in. I used Softee aloe vera curl activator as my "moisturizer." I did this for 6 months during the spring and summer months when hair grows the fastest. I wore wigs during that time. My hair grew long. (It's now at almost tailbone length after clipping the ends, and I have my hair tucked away in 4 platts.).
Thanks for sharing, CD🎉
Love to hear this.❤️
😮😮 incrível ❤❤ não sabia que o cabelo cresce no verão e primavera
Did you add extensions or your own hair? Thx
@@Ischic77 My own hair.
Thanks for asking 😌🙏🏾💐💜
(1 Cor 11:14)
Did you wear glueless wigs?
I have done this with box braids and extensions. I moisturize every other day, massage my scalp, and wash my hair every week or every two weeks. I took my braids out every three months. You are right your hair will grow with less manipulation.
Thanks for sharing!!
That's pretty much my routine too.
LISTEN UP LADIES ‼️‼️ she absolutely correct and im a 53 year old natural beauty ‼️ I've been doing this routine for years abd its by fat the BEST routine with my long natural hair even in my 50s my hair is still lomg healthy and strong ‼️ I'm a lazy natural so cornrows + wigs = long natural healthy hair‼️‼️

Thanks for the blessings sis 🌺
Why didn't I hear this sooner
Am really impressed
I'll start doing this
Thanks dear for sharing
No one has ever really said how to grow natural hair the way you are saying
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for this. Been natural for over a decade. Been told that natural hair is “so versatile” and there’s “so much you can do!!” Which yes is true…
But what those people don’t mention is by doing the most and changing your hair all the time, that is all a lot of manipulation. I have high shrinkage, very tightly coiled 4C hair. Constant manipulation just doesn’t lead to hair growth for me. Even if I’m using good products. My hair will tangle more and break.
These days I am doing a similar routine. I don’t know how to cornrow but I put my hair in small braids. I undo the braids to wash and condition once a month. I then blow dry using my Revair and then I immediately moisturize and rebraid. My hair is kept in these braids until the next wash day. And I have been wearing wigs to cover them. After several months of this, it has decreased tangling and lead to much more length retention.
It does indeed feel like a sacrifice. When I first went natural I fell in love with all the different styles you can do and the look of fros. But over a decade later I still do not have long hair, which frustrates me. I’ve come to realize that I simply don’t like how short hair looks on me.😭And I’m TIRED of settling for short hair. I want my hair to grow. I want long hair!!! I have NEVER had long hair before in my life, even as a kid. Even when relaxed. It has ALWAYS been short. So yes, having long hair would mean a lot.
And I’m facing the reality that in order for my hair to grow, I have to essentially leave it alone majority of the time. No playing around with twist outs and braid outs every week. There’s just no way around that. I have to make the sacrifice. My hair is too delicate to thrive otherwise.
There is a sacrifice for a period 🌺. keep going
Yesss! Thank you sis🥳👏. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm a low maintenance kind of girl. I’ve experienced “accidental growth” leaving in box braids and keeping cornrows under wigs”. After hearing your journey/routine, I’m ready to start my tailbone length journey today! Let’s Go!😊👏
Yeeeeessss!!!! Let’s get it sis ❤️
Usually don't comment but I found you on Jan. 8th and my hair has been flourishing 🙌 In this busy last few years I've neglected my hair so much, keeping in small knotless braids and sew ins and never really taking care of my hair underneath. Rough stylists thinned out my hair and edges while I was growing out the texturizer I put in my hair from 2022 (thankfully those straight ends are all gone now)
Needless to say, you're the first person I found with this simple routine to bring my hair back to health by leaving it alone and learning how to properly moisturize. Now I keep coming back for these reminders and to stay motivated on this journey. I've been keeping flat twists under wigs but I've taken them down at least once a week because I'm just so happy to see my hair in better shape 😅 Goal is trying to keep cornrows in for the whole month of February! Thank you so much for putting out these messages.
Elated to hear this! I appreciate your comment and love to hear you are seeing progress! keep going…🌺
This routine is bomb guys. I have relaxed hair but this routine made me retain so much length in two year. Thank so much
❤️❤️❤️
What do you do to ensure the hair isn't matted three months, that's my only fear.
Me too! And it will work on relaxed hair also. I only perm 3x a year for 38yrs, since 14yo. I'll be 52 this month. My hair is in 2braids/2plaits or a low bun 95% of the time. I'm already waist length but I want my fullness back that I lost from when I stopped eating meat for 6yrs and lost WAAYY TOO MUCH PROTEIN😢. Now I eat turkey and chicken again🥰👏. God bless
@@zodidimhlana5978you finger detangle with the glycerin and oil, SLOWLY and PATIENTLY 🙏. Its amazing and you will save much hair. Also incorporate Amla and Fenugreek,rosemary,cloves to your oil, I have waay less breakage now. Watch Jen and Jess African twins w long hair yt channel(they have a GREAT oil video ) that I copied 😊and Curly proverbs she explains the benefits of Amla and fenugreek 🙏 and shows pics of her before and after growth is Amazing🙏
How can you wash your hair in cornrows if your hair is relaxed? I have to pull out my cornrows and wash my hair.
I do everything she says already. I'm just curious as also being relaxed how you guys wash your hair in cornrows. N.b. this is cornrows with your natural hair not cornrows with braided her that I can do no problem.
I'm just here for vibes ✨️😌 I think my goal for this year is moisture and less breakage. Once I figure out a good routine for myself, then i'll think about my journey to long, luscious locs ☺️ Keeping this advice in my arsenal, though.
Loving the videos, keep them coming 💛🌻
Best way to get started ❤️
We are 1month gone 🎉🎉🎉i started mine on 28th dec made my medium braids an they are now looking old 😂😂😂 but no problem they must make the 3months by force by fire😂😂😂

Glad it was helpful!🌺🌺🌺
Would you do a video with some doable styles while with cornrows for the three months please.
Doable styles?
I’m on year 3 after chopping it ALL off and I’ve been wearing wigs the whole 3 years with some different style whenever I get tired of wigs. I’m at bra length right now. I wash, moisturize, oil then braid right back up monthly. I used heat maybe twice a year. Only thing, I don’t handle my hair as gently as I should. My length in just 3 years has surpassed others that’s been trying to grow theirs for years. It’s truth to what she’s saying.
Love to see your progress…
I really enjoy your videos, very knowledgeable, thanks for sharing, I just wanted to add your info is spot on, I did almost every thing you mentioned in your video, my natural hair journey started November 2020 today I am 3 inches shy of tail bone length, good luck to everyone on their hair journey.

This an awesome way to gain enormous length retention 💚💚💚👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💚

@@CoilyDiaries❤
I agree with everything you say except washing hair in cornrow. The residue will be accumulating under the cornrow which might cause scalp issue. I also think the density of the hair matters.
Hair expands when being washed. What are you putting in your hair that has residue? Sounds strange. I always wash my hair in yarn braids and it gets properly cleaned. I let it dry in the yarn so it is stretched before I can attend to it.
‼️‼️‼️How do you think people with dreads wash their hair and it stills grow!!!‼️‼️‼️ they surely not taking them down‼️‼️

I tried it. I'm mid back passed bracstap now. I also stopped dying my hair. Two things happened. I'm a grayish white blond now. But it's long. I love it.
Lovely 🥰
I do this with mini braids. I’ve never seen my hair this long!
Girl!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks 💕 for caring and sharing. I will definitely try. Praying God's blessings on you.
you are so welcome
I was getting really sad wearing my twists/braids in these not so pretty styles for 3 months (washing my hair in the same style too to avoid detangle) . I only felt prettyish covering the frizz with a scarf. But once I took it all down I could NOT BELIEVE the thickness I had and felt in love with my hair all over again. I realized I just need to have more variety so now I opped for wearing glueless wigs with a scarf to cover the lace. I feel so much better. Knotless braids are so pretty but I tried that route. It's expensive you can't trust somebody else detangling your hair gently (my mistake I lost so much density) yes I did straighten before going the next times I went but I realized the weight from the synthetic hair that braided into my scalp was causing issues for my lifestyle.
Wonderful! I think it’s good to find a balance between the two
Cantu keeps my braids neat and moisturized. Also I do a side path with my braids, looks more stylish
Facts🏆 Very true information. I went natural in 2011 and my stylist said when it comes to natural hair, “Less is Best”. I kept my styles simple and maintained mid-back length. For a year now, I’ve only done the most lazy twists and my hair is now waist length. This video is very accurate. Thanks for sharing! 🫶🏾
love it!!
I love your videos! I just started watching you early January. And I had my hair in cornrows this whole month! I’m going to try all of February as well and hopefully I can make it to the third month. I’ve been wearing the headband wigs to switch it up too!! Good luck to those who are on this waist length journey too and I hope y’all stay consistent 😊🎉❤
You got this! it’s a challenge for a reason but just stick to the routine 🌺
Truth 💯 this is why i got on RUclips

This explains why my hair grew so well with sew ins! i was doing this without realizing it and my hair grew to bra strap length!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
1st Wash, dc, protein tx.
2. Cornrows/3strand braids, wig, 3.moisturize every wk, massage to get blood flow to scalp
4. each month wash/dc/protein.
5. 3rd month unloose cornrows & wash it.
pretty much!
Great info. I love watching your channel for the awesome tips. As a matter of fact, 8 weeks ago I started your aggressive length challenge. It went pretty well with my own hair in big plaits. However, beginning this week I'm trying to go 12 weeks this time.
good luck sis! keep going!
I think I will try it that way too. Are you keeping them in for a long time?
I love this routine, it's great for beginners. It really is simple to grow natural hair. I believe it's because we were conditioned to hate our hair that we think it's more difficult to take care of it than it actually is. Thanks Coily 🌸🌸
well said beautiful 🩷
True true true.
I maintain my daughter’s hair…and I do the VERY least with it. Her hair is all the way down her back and she’s 7. Regrowing my own hair now after a big chop following locs. Can’t wait to catch up to her. 😊
Congratulations on your big chop! Happy hair growing ❤️
This works for me, but the max I go is 2 months and I do not wash in between. Yes, I said it, I DO NOT WASH. I can already hear them coming for me 😄
🌺🌺🌺
I do not wash either and I’m relaxed but it works so perfectly well for me
The individual I know with the biggest and healthiest afro that I have seen doesnt wash her hair and she only uses vaseline (dax) and water.
i dont wash until the end of month 3. but i think i would grow more if i did because that a good source of hydration and my hair craves hydration and sealing.
However: your scalp needs to be healthy to be able to grow and maintain your hair.
Not washing it can cause it to not be healthy.
So be careful, watch out for your scalp. Wash if you need to. Washing is less bad than your scalp being messed up.
I lived through the "no poo" (no shampoo) bs of the raw vegan girlies. My scalp absolutely needs washing at the very least every 2 weeks, but usually 1 week depending on what I've been up to. And that's okay.
I’m all in, with some refining to my hair needs! Looking forward to seeing all the work pay off. 🌺
Wonderful! love it 🥰
You are speaking the truth!!!!!!!!!! The stylist i went to couldn't necessarily tell me how to grow my hair, but i had already been growing my hair through protective styles i just lacked a hydration and moisturizing routine so would get split ends. I love that you are so knowladgeable and actually went through with it so you can share the info. Love that!!!!!!!!!!!! but once you want to wear it loose make sure their is a hydration and moisturizer, wash day, and gentle detangling going in.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you girl, i jave never come accross an elaborative routine for rentention like this one and since i was about to start doing cornrows for retention thi video is so helpful, again thanks ablot girl and be blessed❤
You're so welcome!🌺
Am going to try this . I have been trying to find something simple to do for my hair since after having a baby. I am going to jump on this.
becoming a mama is life changing… am in the thick of it too
Moisturising today then this weekend doing henna treatment then putting hair back into mini twists. Already finished month 1, I've noticed a difference in detangling how much shed and broken hair I had vs December detangle.
Adding in green tea rinses this month to see if that will show a difference in shedding.
keep going!!!
I kinda have the same routine. Difference being I have my wash day then put my hair in minibraids for two months. I picked minibraids because with them I can more easily access my scalp and "more" of my hair. I rinse my scalp weekly with an ACV rinse and then apply oil on it, because I used to have a dry scalp, and this has helped me a lot with this issue. I moisturize my hair when needed throughout the week. I started this routine back in October 2023 with armpit-length hair and my hair is already brastrap! It's insane even when I think about it. I plan to keep this routine till dcember 2026, when reaching waist length.
Thanks for sharing
Cornrows were my go to but for this year I decided to try mini braids (not the best idea) I loveeee my hair in braids and i find myself letting the braids hang down and flipping them and touching them constantly 🙃 so after the three months I'm going to go back to cornrows they're easier for me to ignore. But everything you say is the TRUTH I was bald in 2020 almost got to bra strap in 2023 but I cut my hair to shoulder length I'm currently back at Armpit length and I'm trying to retain length aggressively for my graduation in November.
great to hear this. cheering you on 🌺
Thank you so much. Let's see how my hair will be in three months. Looking forward to having long, healthy, natural hair. 😊
welcome…
So glad others will consider the method. I have heard of others having success with this minimalist and super low manipulation approach. I wish you all success in reaching your hair dreams 💓✨
I wish I could get braids, but the truth is that I have serious dandruff. Going 1 week without thoroughly scrubbing my scalp, is very hard! the dandruff and scales on my scalp just in one week are serious. It's not possible for me to wash thoroughly with my hair braided because of the amount of scrubbing I have to do. This is why I don't spend time or money on braids, I would last 1 week before they were ruined from the scrubbing that I have to do to clean my scalp sufficiently.
Washing gently would do nothing for me, and might make the dandruff worse. Probably would have a skin infection if I actually tried this for a few weeks😅. I wash my hair every 3-4 days. I have tried so much over the years to at least EXTEND the amount of time between washes and nothing has worked. the latest has been fenugreek, infused in oil, I also tried it as tea that I used on my scalp.
Glovers Mane will remove the dandruff flakes dermatitis psoriasis you can do this oil treatment before you shampoo your hair every two weeks every three weeks because I’ve had clients that had dermatitis and it removed the Bacteria. Also eating turmeric each day works miracles.
I would encourage you to look into your diet if you are having serious dandruff.
totally understand. excessive dandruff is not normal. consider getting it checked. also, prolonging your wash day by a day each time might teach your scalp to regulate itself better 🌺

I think this was how i grew my hair out. I recently chopped it and i want to grow it again. I was feeling overwhelmed until this video. I couldnt remember anything about the growing process. Thank you!
You’ve got this!!!
Yeah, I’m ready to simplify things and have a routine. I’m only concerned about how to pivot in the summertime. It’s waaaaaay too hot to be sporting a wig. 😅 Maybe that’s when I can try some box braids via crochet. I’ve got some hair that looks just like mine that might work for at least 6 weeks if my hair isn’t too long by then. 😊 Thanks for the inspiration! You’re beautiful and lovely. 🤩
great strategy for the hotter months
Gold! I grew my hair to waist length like this! Would soak my hair in shea butter and then wear it in cornrows, it was insane how well it grew!!
loves being left alone …
Planning to cut off a few inches of damage and try this method! As long as I can keep my scalp under control it should work
go for it girl!
This would definitely work, I always had my hair in two braids as a child and it was pretty long, but the minimal handling time meant I had NO idea how to take care of my hair once I took over, and I just wonder if this method is the best for someone who is just starting on their hair journey. What happens when you achieve the length, but you don't know how to take care of your hair at that length? 🤔
great question. I didn’t necessarily say it was a method for one starting off on their journey. in fact a few people with TWAs have asked how to join the challenge and I told them to leave the TWA alone!
I think Afro hair should be very simple and it doesn’t take much to learn your hair. the discipline patience gentle detangling moisturizing etc will be lessons for life. once people find out they CAN achieve their hair goals, they can become
motivated to learn more about their hair.
I had a similar experience. Personally I would say you can have the goal of health or length retention.
If you focus on health you can learn how to detangle, style, protective style. Maybe you put it in braids during the winter or during the summer. The trial and error might mean you might want to do regular trims and maybe you won’t retain as much.
However, I may not be waist length but I have hair at about my armpits. My hair falls differently in twist outs now vs when it was above shoulder length. It also takes much longer to style (unless it’s a wash and go). People I know that use braids and weaves for length often tend to cut their hair or straighten it for maintenance.
It’s really important to get to know your hair before putting it away (if possible). For some family members they do these protective style’s or go to salon because it’s easier for them and fits with their schedule
@@CoilyDiaries True 👍🏼
if your ends are healthy their is no need to trim the hair at all. If there is a fairy knot just trim that fairy knot . No need to cut of healthy hair ends.
@morethanyourbasics this is spot on. I’m on a long hair journey now but I spent the last 3 years really getting to know my hair and if I’d skipped that phase before going on this journey, I’m certain I would’ve lost my length. For most of us who only went natural as adults, there’s a learning curve that you just have to go through. Playing with your hair, trying products, hairstyles, that’s all part of the process. They don’t call it a “natural hair journey” for nothing!
Yesss just finished month 1 will be washing my hair this weekend. For me I’m going to shampoo condition deep condition, hydrate and moisturize my hair and then take one twist down at a time and retwist it back

my hair grows about an inch a month and my hair is about 12 inches so im aiming big with my goals thank you for your tips🫶🏾
Nice 👍🏽
How much did it grow?
Currently doing doing this on my twa with mini braids. I workout and sweat quite a lot so I need to wash my scalp at least every 2 weeks. Love the tips and you moisturiser retention tips are 💯% on point ❤
Sounds great!😊
I workout a lot too and my scalp loves to be clean so I do washes when my scalp is itching .
I am a mathematician, and I like your formula. 1+1 will always = 2, subscribed
❤️❤️❤️welcome!!!
@@CoilyDiariesgirl my hair grew almost 1 inch over the first month. I will have to undo, wash my hair and re-braid it tomorrow. Your method along with the JBCO I got straight out of Kingston, Jamaica 🇯🇲
@@islandgirlruby2750 wow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I recently combed out my locs after 7 years and I have nearly waist-length hair now. However, I'm dreading the hair routine. I'm definitely going to try this method because I Feel like my hair thrives when it is left alone. For years before my locs it was so hard to grow my hair properly. Dreads caused my hair to grow, and even when combing them out, I find my hair is wayyy softer and healthier than its ever been my whole life. I want to maintain this and grow it even longer. Im definately going to be giving this a try!
Wow! Love your stress free method of getting crazy length! I wonder how long it took to comb out your locs🤔
Yes this works. Did this many years ago when I wanted long hair. ❤❤❤
🌺🌺
I'm 3 weeks into this routine using small plaits/medium braids because I need maximum scalp access, whew! One thing I noticed during the wash before starting that really helps minimize breakage is WEARING GLOVES! Smoothest wash day I've ever experienced
So glad i found this vid & your channel bc I was kinda just winging it from another creator's short form content. This is much more detailed yet straightforward & simply structured so thank you! Very excited for this journey🙌🏾
all the very best!
FINALLY a video that makes SENSE, less is more, and I'm not trying to comb my hair constantly 🥴
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I am currently trying this routine in my second week. I hope to see those lengths at the end of the year
❤️❤️❤️
good science. 3 years can go by fast.
true!
And I forgot to say thank you so much for this. ❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
I am about to deploy and came across this video in time! I have been natural for a decade and have been trying to crack the code on my hair. I have not been able to grow my hair past shoulder length and I’m trying to confirm What will work. This may be it! I’m excited to try this along with my hair care routine.
Wonderful! let’s go!
From April 2023 to April 2024 my hair has grown 12 inches. Low manipulation and protective styling are KEY. However, I never cornrow or braid my hair. It is very important to stick to a simple healthy haircare routine that works for you. Everyone is unique and has different protective hair styles that they like best. I only use a DIY homemade organic protein treatment 3 times per year. I think people must be careful with protein treatments. You don’t want to overdo it. I wash and deep condition my hair 2 times per month. I work from home and unless I go out or have to be camera ready for a Zoom meeting, I keep my hair all day in a scarf and bonnet. I only gently detangle my hair once a week with a wide tooth comb. Keeping your scalp oiled and your hair moisturized is important. I use mostly all natural organic products on my hair. My only hair style is a protective bun that I keep covered with a wig cap/stocking cap. Then I have several drawstring ponytails I wear over my protective bun. Even when I style my hair into a bun, I do not comb it. Low manipulation is very KEY.
thanks for sharing what’s working for you! low manipulation has been a game changer for me
Interesting. How do you minimize breakage when washing your hair? What protective styles work for you?
@@zodidimhlana5978 Great Questions! I recently discovered that detangling my hair with a wide-tooth comb before I wash it is KEY. That makes it so easy to detangle at the end of wash day. My protective style is a bun. And I protect my bun by wrapping it in a stocking cap and wearing a drawstring ponytail over my bun to look cute.👍😊
I have definitely done this in 2021 to grow from APL to BSL. A different protective style but same principle of every 3months.
yes girl!!!
Liking your video because I like what I hear in the few seconds! Am in! Aggressive we go💪
Awesome! let’s goooo!!!🌺🌺🌺
@@CoilyDiaries cornrows are excellent,mini twists and my favourite but I will do medium braids half way and the twist half way to the ends,in that way it will last longer. Cornrows need my hair to be blow dried and I don't wanna blow dry, I want to be heat free so my hair can recover
Ohhh snap this is nice, I've been doing something similar wish but with mini twist, but I take them out every month and put them right back in (One twist at a time). Ive been doing this for 4 months so far and feel like there's growth. I think this is something I may be able to do , and then Ill see if Im at my goal length at the end of nursing school (2 years left).
Love it! All the best for nursing school!!
The process of putting in cornrows breaks my hair, whether stretched or in its natural state, so alternative protective styles are better for me
glad you have other options 🌺
What are your alternatives? My sister's hair breaks in cornrows and I would love to give her alternatives.
@@ArabiaButtkiss-iy5el I give other options in the video. Braids & twists
@@ArabiaButtkiss-iy5el currently still trying other options. Just seeing what works for me long-term
Tried mini twists but my hair is fairly low density so there are a lot of gaps when I do them.
Large flat twists work for me but they don’t last so long and I have to redo them ~1 week
Gonna try smaller flat twists next as they don’t tend to cause me breakage
I’m going to try this but with natural hair braids. I will take down my style every month to wash. I cannot wash my hair in the style because it causes tangles. This is a great base routine it can be flexible for everyone. Great advice cozily diaries ❤
nice 👍🏽!!
I can attest to this! 👏🏾 But I would definitely trim atleast twice a year! You don’t want to work so hard just to loose it all from splits continuing up the hair shaft, this happen to me! I reached arm pit length for the first time in my life but a good 3 inches were split ends because I never trimmed the whole 2 years lol I was so upset 😢 You shouldn’t have very many splits with the low manipulation so don’t worry about loosing length. I also recommend crocheting your ends into your braids to tuck them away! It’ll reduce friction and keep them moisturized which will help avoid splits! And BE GENTLE WHEN DETANGLING! ❤
absolutely agree 👍🏽 💯!
Do you blow dry your hair before doing the cornrows? (With heat protector)
@@Wendy-sb6en Every blue moon but if not like she stated in the video I definitely stretch my hair to avoid single strand knots & tangles. I normally do 4-6 plaits (depending on length) air dry and then cornrow 😊
@@Wendy-sb6en If I’m in a rush I’ll even cornrow while it’s dap. That works as well
Awesome! I have heard of this cornrow technique, but never broken down in the way you did it here. I'm already at waist length, but not all my my hair is that same length. I use bleach, so I have had a few setbacks the past year that left me at the same length. But I want something different now to keep the ends tucked and no longer breaking off. I am going to already be doing more protein treatments this year and also back to deep conditioning. I have been slacking on that for a bit. Thank you!
You so are so welcome 🌺
I use alcohol free witch hazel when I clean my daughter’s scalp while wearing braids so she doesn’t need to shampoo. Just purchased the Malibu hard water shampoo and conditioner set I see on your dresser of this video and mentioned in another video as really good. Definitely on my way to waist length hair. When long enough I’ll try the old school Goddess cornrows in a top bun. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
love it!
I really wish you could be my personal hair stylist❤ but since that's not the case, I'll learn with you and work with you from where I am and with what I have. And mehn, you just keep getting more and more beautiful ❤️🥰😍
January is gone already so there's no time to waste!
This my hair must grow by fire by force 😂
let’s do it!🌺🌺🌺
I started my first week in mini braids, not too mini...thinking of the take down.
Really loving this low manipulation hair style, better than the twists that I would touch up more frequently.
Mmmm not a cornrows fan...
do what works!
Excellent video my sister. Really good advice. I think I’ll try box braids without extensions.
that’s a great choice!
I work from home rarely go out so this is perfect for me. Already mid back length so I can’t wait for wait length
Nice !!
Wow.... I came across your channel today. This is a good idea. I will try it. Subscribed 😊
Thanks for subbing! join the crew 😅
I'll start this weekend and let's see if I could make it too! New sub'! Thanks for sharing this!
welcome sis!!
I just started watching this video and have not watched the entire video as yet. I will watch the entire video. I just wanted to jump in to say. I just got back to my healthy hair care journey 1 year ago. And in one year I have grown my hair from shoulder length to just past mid back, pass my bra. My hair will be to my waist by next year. This means I will have grown my hair from shoulder length to waist length in 2 years.
good for you! love the accelerated results!
Wow! How did you do it?
@@TheJanicetunes There is a lot I do, I cannot really say it all in a comment. Maybe one day I will make my own video on it. Thanks for asking!👍😊
@@TheJanicetunes My routine is kind of long, but not difficult. I will try to give you the highlights here. Stick to a consistent routine that works for you. I wash my hair every other week. I do a hot oil pre-poo the night before wash day, keeping in the oil overnight with a plastic cap and sit under a hooded dryer for 25 minutes in the morning. Then I wash and deep condition, also leaving in my deep conditioner with a plastic cap on overnight and sit under a hooded dryer for 25 minutes the next morning. It’s important to keep your hair moisturized and in a protective style that works for you. I keep my hair in a protective bun. I cover my bun with a stocking cap/wig cap and then put a drawstring ponytail over my bun to look cute. I work from home, so I do not have to style my hair every day. When I am home my hair is in a silk/satin bonnet all day. Always sleep with a silk/satin bonnet and I also have satin pillowcase. It’s important to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and take vitamins. I hope this is helpful!👍😊
@@cbchang6200 wow thank you so much for taking the time to write your steps down❤❤❤ Its so appreciated! Im thinking now that its not so much about the products but about the routine. Im learning this more and more. As a curly girl we get inundated with product promises that this is the one that will grow your hair quick, but it really isnt that. Routine is the key. Thank you for sharing. I will be def doing your steps, adjusting and tweaking for my hair but u def gave me a solid foundation. Many blessings to you.❤❤
It's one o'clock in the morning and I stumbled on to your channel. I am so excited to start. My hair has been in cornrows for a week, so I am going to continue the process. Thank you so much for making it sample to follow.
So welcome sis 🌺
How's Yr journey so far?? Have u experienced any noticeable growth??plz do shareeeeeeeeeee😊
OMG!!!! I had to undo my hair for my dad's funeral on the 20th of April. I couldn't believe it😮 my hair was down to my chin when I started . Now, it's slightly touching my chest. OMG!! I am so excited.
Right after the funeral that evening my hair was back in cornrows 😊 I have a three year plan to grow my hair down to my breast. Again , thank you for making this straightforward and simple.
@@Johanne-y8m am so sorry about your dad 😞. Congratulations on the progress though
@user-tt7ft6us9r hi siss..how long had it been in cornrows?? Before 20th April?
I may try this just a bit nervous about washing it in the cornrows but my hair is fine so it should be fine. Thank you for sharing!!!
You can do it! gentle patient take down. unravel one at a time and re-cornrow before moving on to the next. I do the same with twists
I have fine hair and I’m sceptical about washing it in cornrows. It’s very likely there will be some build up after 3 months and my hair just cannot withstand build up, no matter how careful I am with it. We need a fine hair girlie to report back after trying it 😅
@luvfeelinpretty I have fine, kinky textured hair. If you have fine, looser textured hair, you may be fine. But if it’s kinky like mine, don’t wash your hair in corn rows, or any protective style for that matter. You WILL have a matted, tangled mess. 😅 Been there and I’m still traumatized! 😆 I’m doing this challenge all year, Lord willing, but I’m keeping my scalp clean with tea tree, rosemary and MSM spritz. I will wash thoroughly every 3 months.
I have fine hair and have washed in cornrows. I’m at bra strap length. I usually will keep it in for a month or a month and a half, washing every other week. There was some matting and it is tedious to take down, but the growth SO WORTH IT LOL. Tried something different last time and did the take down on on freshly washed hair instead of taking it down and then washing and found it to be a lot easier. That being said I don’t know how I feel about going a whole 3 months, that scares me. Maybe I’ll stick with every six weeks. I’ll aim for two months and see how it goes. Best of luck to everyone and happy growing. 😊 Also, I like the idea of re-doing each cornrow as you take it down instead of undoing your entire head all at once. Thank you so much for the video, keep ‘em coming ❤️
I have a relax hair but I do this and only retouch my hair 3 to four months. I wash the corn rolls.
After watching this video I tried this from February to October & I'm in complete and utter shock at the results! I've been natural from chemicals since 2012 & this is the 1 thing that has TRULY given me the results!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
love it 😻
I’m not sure I can go 3 months but I will start a self challenge and commit to 6 weeks then then do complete wash day routine and renew cornrows; I’ll then and try for 8 weeks and reoeat. Then 10 weeks and reoeat to finally train my hair to get to 12 weeks. What are your thoughts on that?
I think it’s brilliant 👏🏽👏🏽
Truest thing ever. I’m 🇻🇪🇮🇳My hair was 30 inches at 7 years old. I got it cut off to 18 inches when I was 12, I’m 16 now and It’s currently 24 inches but I noticed a difference when I started doing the inversion method, oiling, and braiding it. Also for scalp psoriasis use blue magic mixed with Alma powder!!!! Helped tremendously.
Thanks for sharing your tips! 24 inches is a lot!!!
I'm here for the practical steps sis 🙌🏽
🤗 nice!👍🏽
I simply wash and braid my hair in box braids. They stay in for at least 4 months. I have done this for years. My rate of growth continues to be phenomenal.
love it 🥰
The way my crazy scalp operates during change of season this is a non for me. 😂 I will be doing mini flat twists as a protective style throughout the spring and summer. Washing my hair 1 to 2 times a month (washing every 3 weeks) I also keep my hair stretched 100% of the time. I never let my hair shrink up.
mini twists are great! I like your tips too🌺
I’m gonna do this. I’ve been doing twist for the past 2 months. Her method is good. I’m gonna do it. I want to have something where I don’t touch my hair but not use weave.
come on girl 💪🏾
My fine 3b hair could NEVAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
I literally am FIGHTING to keep cornrows in for 3 weeks.
understood! you can wear them for as long as is suitable for you
My 4a is so fine I would have to douse it in mousse to keep it braided. Either that or grip the hair so tight it would break.
I love the minimal manipulation theory though.
Same here but I remember getting crochet braids in 2019 and got a ton of growth! But the girl didn’t braids tight and the crochet kept my hair from getting frizzy.
If it’s curly you have to leave in conditioner /aloe gel is my friend and wrap with satin fabric (compress) to refresh
After the wash of course or oiling just like the lady’s do the lace fronts
❤❤This does work, I do it even when I wear extensions... Buildup is not problem if its being thoroughly washed and if your scalp is inflamed choosing the right natural product and using less product in your head is better. I find using aloes for and teatree oil helpful
Thanks for sharing!!
I would not advise washing in cornrows three months in a row. That is a recipe for a lot of matting for type 4's.
I deep steam deep condition once a month and then wash my scalp mid month in cornrows.
I then take down the cornrows once a month so I can steam deep condition and re-do the cornrows.
This way I get minimum matting and lose minimal hair when I detangle. BTW I detangle and comb my own hair during the deep conditioning process - not the hairdresser.
If you wash every week yes but with this routine, you only wash thrice in 3 minutes mths plus small cornrows don’t mat as much as bigger ones
I agree. 3 months is too long to wash in any type of braids or twists. Once a month is the max for type 4. If I'm being honest, 3 weeks in the hair tangles and mats. These ideas are detrimental just to get to WL hair. Handling loose hair once a month will get you to length goal and your scalp and tangle free hair will thank you. Please don't follow the ideas of others because it could cause unnecessary issues for your hair. Leaving in braids for 3 months (even cornrows) is way to long. I promise, you will have hell to pay in detangling. ❤
@@SH-vj2ce So people shouldn't follow your ideas either then?!
@@ladiuneeq9789 Ooookay. Do the 3 month cornrows then. I'm talking about what I know. But do you, sis.
@@SH-vj2ce Been there, done that many times. Washed in between as well. No tangles or matting. My hair was prepped and sealed prior to the braids. Hair grew very long (down my back), so I think I know a little something about my own hair. I'll keep doing me.
I can't wait to try this out! I do have a question, would this cause some hair thinning due to back to back protective styling?
@@naturalmeriley9436 depends a lot on what style and how it’s installed. Styles with your own hair shouldn’t cause any issues
@@CoilyDiaries thank you for the info ❤

You are so welcome
I can attest this works! I've been doing this by accident and it's almost bra strap length now.
yayyy!
Hi..sis..i came across yr channel 2 momths ago..while i decided to start transitionkng frm relaxed to natural hair..my hair by tgen was 5 months
pkst relaxer n had grown like 2 centimeteres or 2 .5 cm.Inshort i foowed yr avise..i dd the 6 week hair challeng..n actually managed to go up2 week 7 but had ti wash n unravek my hair due to product build up n frankly i had grown tired of seeing my raggedy hair since i m a hijabi girl.My hair grew 2 centimeteres more during that tkm3..its flourishing n healthier..n i hooe to stick to this routine n reach ny hair goals.my onky prpblem is my hair was abit matted n i lost a few of my hair to knots that wudnt unravel
Edit.sorry for the typos i was in a Rush
no worries about typos! glad you are seeing progress with your hair. how where you wearing your hair during the challenge? lots of oil particularly at the nape can help reduce matting. if keeping the style for longer, redoing the perimeter can also help🥰
@CoilyDiaries actually it grew to 5.5 centimeterss lol...n yes I was oiling it almost on a daily basis n using lesv3 in conditioner as well..i think I ddnt finger detangle well enaf seeing as it was my 1st time that's why my hairknotted up particularly at the crown area after shampooing n conditionimg
but do you not feel your scalp becoming sensitive because of the lack of hair exercise?
I think I detangled my hair 4 times last year and im paying the price this year with my hair being EXCRUCIATING PAINFULLY tender.
hair exercise? my scalp routine may be one to watch?
That happened to me too. But I think it was because my scalp being exposed in the braids for a year straight. I drastically change my parts now- not just reusing the same ones. If I used small- 32, next I use 6 for the whole head. And so on, back and forth.
I just came across your channel on my feed today and I subscribed as soon as I watched this video of this powerful hair growth strategy. I am so motivated at its simplicity. Currently in small single stranded twists and putting a wig on every morning when I leave the house. My hair has thinned out so much from breakage and my edges are pretty much non-existent. Makes me sad. I’ve been moisturizing my edges with oils daily since January to grow them back and started doing protein treatments on my last wash day two weeks ago. I was going to take my twists down for my next wash day and re-twist them afterwards but I’m going to stick with your strategy and wash my hair with the twists every month until month 3! Thank you so much for these amazing tips! ❤ God bless you 🙏🏽.
Twists don’t last as long as braids and once washed, especially mini twists the take down can be very tedious. Just a caution. I have done a video how I unravel my dry mini twists post wash. Might be helpful. Otherwise do braids or take down the twists earlier and re- install
@@CoilyDiaries Thank you for those details. Yeah I was in a hurry when I did my last wash so it was just easier and faster to do the twists, otherwise the plan was cornrows. But you are right, twists don’t last as long. They are pretty rough now because I’ve been oiling and massaging my scalp every night. They look like mini twists because my hair has gotten extremely thin so I don’t have a lot of hair hence no volume and by default they look like mini twists. I only have about 16-18 twists total lol 😂. But I’m washing my hair tomorrow so I’ll do cornrows this time. Or do you think I should do the cornrows without washing it now and wait another two weeks since I washed it two weeks ago?
@@ChiChiN248 it’s really up to you🤗
inversion method and msg..worked for me. you have beautiful hair . I just can't go that long without detangling.. but I respect the practice .. much love to0 you
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
