I think the biggest issue with KZbin University is the fact that everyone's hair is different and so are their regimens. We will never be able to agree on things because we are all so different. Thanks for this video btw! It was very insightful!

[@CoilyDiaries]

you are so right! I just wish people didn’t push their routines as the only way for others too

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

So true!!!🤦🏿‍♀️ 'do it this way and your hair will never stop growing' how many times have I seen a video saying that lol

[@Nitra813]

Every thing you said 😅 My routine is very simple now: 1. Shampoo/clarify every 2-4 weeks, 2. A good leave in conditioner, 3. Hot oil treatments 2xs a month (olive oil, argan oil, avocado oil) 4. I Keep my hair in twists or stretched underneath my wigs. My hair is thriving. I cannot leave my hair loose.

[@CoilyDiaries]

love this ❤️

[@ajeasmon0715]

I can't leave my hair loose, it's not obedient enough for me lol. That's why I love my hair in twists or finger coils (wash and go here and there but they take too long) if it's not in braids

[@clairstberry]

But what’s the point in growing your hair long if you never wear it out? if you’re always twisting it and putting it up in a so-called safe style. Maybe it’s cultural, but for me I love hair down on the shoulders or below. I don’t like puffy hair, there’s no reason why I should to go through all the trouble of numerous DIY’s to wear. A wig is pointless. at least for me. I know your fund of your hair, but it just would never work for me. I keep thinking how beautiful it would look if you had something to soften it so that you could wear it on your shoulders. Well God bless you I’ll keep looking.

[@livelovely4681]

​@@clairstberryNot everyone prefers to wear their hair nor is that the only purposeful reason to have long hair. It may also be adverse to wear it "out" all the time. Everyone is different.

[@AbieSibanda]

For my natural hair I don't need much and its growing just fine. I use my hand to detangle/comb I don't style it as much,i don't really care about shrinkage.i wash it whenever i feel it's dirty I keep my hair free AND IT GROWS simple as that

[@CoilyDiaries]

you have it nails sis 🌺

[@ajeasmon0715]

Right said. Shrinkage is real and I think that's where people get confused and assume their hair isn't growing cos it doesn't look longer or bigger as they think. Shrinkage just means very curly HEALTHY hair ❤

[@joycespencer8731]

They said don’t use grease, well, I have tried them all, grease and water with some leave in conditioner is what works for me. Dax grease to be exact. I came right back there

[@Roseforres]

I have been using Dax since my mother used it on my hair 57 years ago. It still works great on my hair.

I wash and deep condition once a month, and moisturize just once a week with leave-in conditioner, Shea butter, and hair milk.

Once I did this, my hair took off and now is thigh length. Keep up the great work! PS - I just love listening to your voice. It’s so calm and soothing. ❤❤

[@juby5354]

I agree with everything you just said. Just to add 1 more thing that, in my opinion, we need to be more aware of: The very popular tendency of people to come out here and use the words "scientifically proven" before making a very misleading statement. Yes, science has proven many things through research results. The problem arises when we misinterpret scientific results, jump to inaccurate conclusions, preach them as facts, and make them trend.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Speak it sis❤!!! Love this one. People use it to sell their idea and convince others. I have seen this a lot with Rosemary oil 😬 being sold as the miracle hair growth oil as “scientifically proven” negative g the fact it’s supposed to be medical grade Rosemary oil 😭

[@kataber]

GURRRL!! I've got the scars to show for- rice water challenges, in particular! My hair has never recovered. I'm trying to nurture it to health this year.

[@twomisfithippies9790]

@@kataber Whew! I’m so glad I never tried it. I wanted to, but never got around to it. I have no patience for diy hair products. I just wear twists now and pretty much leave my hair alone. I use a leave in and cream with hold. Done. Easy peasy.

[@kataber]

@@twomisfithippies9790 Im done with YT hair challenges. My hair broke and freaked even my mum out (she asked if I was sick). Half my head was literally bald. It finally grew back..but the back of my head is soo sensitive now; any little thing- it breaks...it's only the back that's left to grow back completely. So, like you, am leaving the hair ALONE!

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

As a lifelong natural, I wholeheartedly agree w you! Ladies are doing WAY too much and making natural hair SO much harder than it has to be. It's not the products you use, it's the hair you have. The sooner that is understood, the simpler everything will become. I use V05 shampoo and leave in conditioners to style. When I need hold, a lightweight gel or mousse. I neither deep treat nor have a ton of processes. My hair is gonna be my hair regardless. And it's SO healthy. I keep it short bc I've had long curly hair my whole life and in my early 40s, I don't want to be bothered. Simplicity and acceptance is key! When the ladies are 10-15yrs in, they'll get it ❤

[@CoilyDiaries]

Well said but must it take us 15 years? All the lessons and facts we already have them!🌺

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

@@CoilyDiaries I think reprogramming from relaxed hair takes time. Most of the product junkie-ism and search for the best curl defining, frizz-free, shiny, curl elongating process comes from being used to having sleek relaxed hair. After years of trying many products and realizing what afro hair truly is, the A-ha moment will come. We have to remember most have no experience w their own natural hair. It's a whole new world. The mental process takes time. Sometimes I wanna say, "your hair isn't dry, that's what afro hair looks/feels like..." But I know most won't receive it. Of course there are exceptions, but overall I think that's the problem.

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@JG_SmileSOBright this is enlightening!! We keep moving then… and hope more of us can get it soon!

Thank you for a very detailed video. Your hair is sooo beautiful and you look stunning. One size does not fit all. I did the big chop during the pandemic on my 4c hair. I watched a lot of videos and definitely spent a lot of money on expensive products that did not to work. Girl reality slapped me in the face real quickly. I decided to go back to old school products that my mom used on my head growing up. I use only 3 products a leave-in, blue magic Indian hemp with a little black castor oil mixed in. My hair has grown sooo much and it’s very thick like yours. I normally keep my hair braided under my favorite half wig but, I decided for the month of December NO wigs. I’m wearing my hair in a pull back huge puff and girl girl girl it FEELS GREAT true freedom to let my crown shine. Styling is still a challenge some days but this large beautiful kinky puff has a sister feeling wonderful about my natural hair journey. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays ❤

During chemotherapy i started making hair grease, mixing with aftican herbs and oils, became a self proclaimed tricologist, i watched peoples hair grow from bold but it worked for 80 percent of the people. Right now i am using my own oils and shampoos girl people are shocked of my 1 year post chemo hair. My point is use what is right for your hair. I sell both grease and oils with an african touch. Love from ESWATINI

[@CoilyDiaries]

Exactly!!

[@jacquelinem1960]

With fine baby type hair it's best not to manipulate it a lot. I was always cutting mine but I'm wearing wigs as a 'protective style.' I mainly wear synthetic in all different colours. If I have to wear natural wigs that need as much styling as my own hair , what would be the point. I don't pretend they're my own hair. In the same way I love wearing hats , they're just a style accessory. My hair is growing happily now after many years of dissatisfaction because I'm leaving it alone. ❤

[@masonamaitiswritten5305]

@jacquelinem1960 I will follow your example and leave mine alone. But what do you use on your scalp? Do you put anything on your hair?

Yes. When I first went natural, I tried many products from watching natural hair videos. Probably spent hundreds of dollars trying different products over the years until I learned what my hair flourished from. I tried using hair gels, which is commonly recommended for 3b/3c hair, and it was awful! Hair butter works better for me, along with washing my hair at least bi weekly. I haven't seen any videos recommending no butters or oil, thank goodness, although I'd definitely would have dismissed that one. My hair would be dry as a broom if I did that. Ultimately I totally agree with your surmise that there's no one remedy that we all fit on. To each his own, I guess

I have at least 3 different textures/curl patterns: 1)Crown of head/3b 2)Sides and back of head/3b-4a, 3)Around my face/4b-c. I live in a climate with 4 seasons. Dry Winters and Humid Summers! I have found that technique can impact as much if not more than products. Fall/Winter technique: Protective twist outs w/head wraps. Wash day: apx 2 weeks. Spring/Summer: Wash-n-go’s. Water rinse w/conditioner & leave-in: every 2-3 days. Full Wash day with Shampoo, Protein treatment and Deep Conditioning: Weekly. No matter the season, I have figured out how to minimize tangles, protect my ends and keep my strands hydrated and moisturized. It takes a lot of paying attention but it’s worth it!!! I’m 2 yrs natural with amazing hair growth (above ears to below shoulder blades!). Great video!!! ❤️

I am natural…did a big chop this year. Started with coils - which I loved when it was short. As it grew out, I started to feel that the curly natural twa look didn’t fit me and isn’t my everyday preference. I find it hard to maintain unfortunately. I’ve been a straight natural, worn protective styles, etc. It’s so much to avoid - heat, too much product, tension b/c the edges are thinning. Very frustrating.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT RICH LYING TO US AND IT'S USUALLY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE OUR HAIR TYPE.

[@CoilyDiaries]

speaking truth!!!

[@Chengetanayi_Dyirakumunda]

My hair is like a rice paddy, it needs moisture galore and greenhouse effect every night and that’s my hair. I’ve experimented A LOT with many products techniques and trends over the last 3/4 years to find what works for my hair & my hair without greenhouse effect is just not happy. Works for my hair perfectly. I still like to watch hair videos and I’m happy I found what my hair likes even if it’s not popular, never had infection or problems, change shower caps every night and I can sleep with my diy chebe concoction specific for my hair when it needs it overnight. I’m also very happy you mentioned that just because you’re in a protective style doesn’t mean you’re not enjoying your hair, spot on with that one❤❤

[@CoilyDiaries]

Appreciate you for sharing this in a public setting up knowing the vouchers that can eat you UP🙄! Now, green house effect every night sis? Sometimes bacteria builds up over years and you only start seeing the effects later on. You sound high porosity if your hair is drying out that often. Have you tried glycerin and castor oil? Also you can moisturize with heat for hydrated soft hair much love❤

[@trinigul7339]

Greenhouse Effect (for me: what the people who had Jheri Curls did) is still da truth! However, I do it nightly to save my pillow cases. Win-win for everything!🎉

[@Chengetanayi_Dyirakumunda]

I’ve been doing greenhouse effect for a little over a year, & am high porosity definitely . If it turns out in a good few years that GHE causes me infection I’ll have to deal with it then😂Glycerine seems to dry my hair & I tried it in many products & with just water. Butters/oils wise for me illipe butter is the real deal, it stops shedding and breakage in its tracks instantly! so I use that with a protein rich leave-in, water for moisture & GHE for happy hair

[@Chengetanayi_Dyirakumunda]

@@trinigul7339 nightly GHE😂saves the pillows, much better than a bonnet or a scarf alone, & cheaper than pillow protectors😂. I think I have so many shower caps, enough for changing each night for a fortnight😂😂

[@trinigul7339]

@@Chengetanayi_Dyirakumunda Oh chick, I get at least 5 RE-uses outta my caps cuz, like u, I switch up nightly. I keep Dawn in the shower. I gently lather the cap up (a little goes a long way) n gently rinse before I get out the shower or the next shower time. I think I purchased caps some time last year cuz the elastic or plastic MUST be damaged. 😂🤣😂

[@fearTMHrepent]

Im new to your chanel. I love simple, i love coconut oil omg. I love thick creamy leave in. Im a finger person, because you can feel when the tangle forms. Easy does it. More love for your hair, and your shoulders.😊 My hair grows better with less. Love my sisters. Thank you for your honesty i receive it. Bless you.

[@CoilyDiaries]

welcome to the channel and thanks for the nice compliments! simple is best❤️

[@lpgilber]

Expensive products is a relative term these days. Products that used to be cheap are steadily going up in price, so they all going towards being expensive. But you are right, one size does not fit all.

[@CoilyDiaries]

I see what you mean

[@michellejessica5043]

Wow!! Just wow! So the drying your hair part got me. I’ve seen countless videos that say air drying causes more knots. That your hair is better stretched. I like to stick with the wash and go’s because it works for my schedule, my abilities, and acceptable at the job, but I noticed for the past idk how many months or years every time I go to blow dry the moisture is just sucked out!! I’ve been thinking all this time it was because of the products, but even the same products that used to work no longer work. 🤯 I am officially shook! And I have been drowning in knots!! I have literally been spending hours on hours searching for new routines and products to fix the damage I’m causing! Time I don’t have with three little and VERY needy babies. I have been trying to stretch my Wash days to biweekly to start so that wasn’t a surprise as I heard it from green beauty. She also mentioned the layering of so many products wasn’t necessary too, but again I’ve been struggling with finding a product that “works”. I was literally about to spend close to $100 on products as I am out of options at this point. Before I do that, I will check out your other videos. Thank you so much for posting this. I just found your page randomly so I will subscribe. Also the post “nice” comments made me chuckle. Love that. Thanks again.

[@michellejessica5043]

One question. Do you think a hooded dryer is better than diffuser or should I just try air dry for a minute to give my hair a break and reassess?

[@CoilyDiaries]

hey sis welcome 🤗! thanks for subscribing ❤️💃🏽💃🏽 I think the hooded dryer and diffuser are similar with regards to how they dispense heat but am not an expert in this. are wash and goes the only style that works for you?

[@michellejessica5043]

⁠@@CoilyDiaries ahh okay. Well I have tried twist like the one green beauty does, but I have some breakage along my hair line so it appears so frizzy in the first two weeks which doesn’t work for my job. Maybe I can try mini twist, but the thought of making all those parts just seem so daunting. My other problem is now that I am working out everyday my scalp starts smelling at day 4 or 5. So I would have to redo all the twist and I just don’t have the time during the week. I am having all types of issues over here. My hair was growing just fine and I made it to bra length then plateaued maybe even went backwards a bit with all these knots.

[@ElegantPaws01]

Bravissima! Well said.

Very true lady I said it again and again but they never believe it

Thanks so much started natural hair journey in 2017 after birth of my child I have dry hair buth now this video helps allot I know what to do now thanks🇳🇱💜

[@CoilyDiaries]

You are so welcome!

[@toracabey93]

I think at the end of the day you have to be happy with your hair whether natural or processed. I go back and forth with my hair depending on my mood. I cut it off when I get fed up of it and through everything it grows back. I don't moisturize, I don't wash on any schedule (only when it bothers me), I don't care if it's natural or relaxed. I do what makes me happy with my hair and you what it grows when I decide to let it grow. And honestly I am using the same grease my mother used in my hair as a kid (and that's when i'm not being lazy cause honestly I don't even grease the hair for weeks on end until I need to comb it out). I believe the natural hair community have bamboozled the black community into segregating by hair type and scammed them out of so much money per month. Also I don't do protective styles, why have hair if you're just gonna cover it up is what I believe.

[@CoilyDiaries]

couldn’t agree more!

[@KarizmaJones-oi9er]

THAT PART🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@CoilyDiaries]

🤣🤣🤣😬🤷🏽‍♀️

[@juanitarobertson306]

I definitely agree with everything thing that you are saying but I also believe that genetic play a big part of what you hair can become.

[@CoilyDiaries]

yes that’s 100% true too!!!

[@maryapatterson]

Once I started washing my hair every week, thats when my hair took off! But lets get this straight, i'm not spending all day doing it. But neither do I detangle, so I must be a white girl for definite then!😁 I don't believe its about lies. its about people not wanting to spend the time finding out what works for their hair. I understand everybody has different priorities. Unfortunately it is difficult because the science hasn't been done. Black hair is not like chinese hair, there's alot of variety going on.We also live all over the world in different climates So we have to do the work and find out what our hair likes! Thats what lock down was for!

[@graecetube]

Thanks very much for bringing up this. There have been alot of lies about growing long hair with multiple ways which actually don't work at all, because if they did there would have been minimum use of wigs , braids ,etc... Another important fact is DNA, africans with long hair have traces of caucasians, whether they know it or not. The best ways which people need would be how to take care of different types of african hair because it's totally DIFFERENT while some people give us an impression that it's the same. Thanks for this ❤

[@CoilyDiaries]

I don’t know about the DNA comment. Also, hair might be slightly different but if we share a hair type texture, porosity and similar goals and lifestyles, the routines will be similar

You’re welcome 😊

thanks so much

[@_ChroniclesofCaroline]

Concerning the DIY you’re right. I decided to grow my hair in 2022 and got a lot of herbs after watching how to make hair growth oil on Yt. I did not see any changes 😭🤣. I wanted to give up but last I did a lot of research, watch different YT videos and that’s when I discovered I’ve been doing it wrong all this while. I ignored my scalp health and general health and was focusing on hair growth and also I was not doing things that would aid length retention. I corrected all my mistakes and I saw changes big one 💃. My hair is now thriving

[@CoilyDiaries]

so happy you have settled in an effective routine 🌺

[@willmitchell2553]

Not many str addressing the fact that scalp health is very important to growth and so is good eating habits once healthy hair emerges then for that dead hair to remain in comes proper handling to keep it🎉

[@2_blAck]

No oils no butters is what was said. But what I heard was use oils OR butters😂🤣😭 Because I will not stop using oils or butters👌🏽😂 That was a funny movement😆🥰

[@CoilyDiaries]

😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@tomdawkins7458]

I really luv ur videos

[@CoilyDiaries]

[@miriambutler2148]

Years ago in 2011, listening to all the natural hair trends. Having my hair trimmed lead to hair stylists cutting off nearly all my hair off, back then, my hair never grew back. Didn't realize l was stopping my monthly cycles and my hair didn't grow back as it used to. I grew very bitter at the stylist.

[@CoilyDiaries]

am so sorry girl! this shouldn’t have happened 😞. I hope your hair is progressing well❤️

[@Barbara.714]

Your totally correct

[@CoilyDiaries]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Ten-wk5zk]

Beautiful hairstyle, love it. I'm from Southern Africa and never really seen women from the region with long natural hair. Lately I'm coming across quite a few and most seem to use DIYs. I currently use amla, I just put a little in my deep conditioner, im 43, dont know if that will be a barrier to my length goals. Been natural since I was 20 but cut a few times and never really knew how to care for my hair til around 2021

[@CoilyDiaries]

All the very best on your hair journey. Amla is a great addition to a routine but as usual, I recommend people to focus on a healthy routine, healthy habits and practises ❤

[@trinigul7339]

Nah chick! I thought that 2. I’m 56 and I have been loose natural for at least 15 years (I know my birthday. Not good with anniversaries). I FINALLY started ditching many KZbin tips, some times through sheer laziness, maybe about 2019. My hair is THRIVING today with cheap products, simplicity, mini twists, and a nightly shower cap (too many ruined pillow cases- if u know, u know). U will be fine if you do what works FOR YOU!

[@Ten-wk5zk]

​@@trinigul7339thanks, this is encouraging to read

[@adriennetamia5645]

My routine is simple wash stretch style repeat and trim when needed 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@CoilyDiaries]

nice!!!

[@katirisherman9169]

People gotta do what works for them! I cut protein out cuz at one point everyone was protein sensitive 😒 come to realize that my fine tailbone legnth hair needs protein to prevent my cuticle from wearing out at the ends. On the flip side im all for the no oils and butters. I have way better curl definition and my hair is fluffier with more volume. I also enjoy a weekly wash. If im working out a lot, I'll do a mid week cowash as well.

[@CoilyDiaries]

love this for you! stick to what’s working

[@ForbsieLaLa]

I am glad you spoke to the frequency of wash and style because I have found that leaving my hair alone has allowed it to flourish. I just try to maintain moisture. 2 months braid then my hair in plait style for a month then back to braids. Some times I take the braids down at a month and half and regret it for the next 2 weeks. I blow dry when I wash and that's it. I loved my hair before I relaxed it, when I relaxed it and once again I am natural

[@CoilyDiaries]

love this for you ❤️
