How I got to BRA STRAP LENGTH | how to grow LONG NATURAL HAIR fast

[@A_Wilson]

Accepting hair as it is, and not thinking it “looks better” when it’s heat stretched…I’m still working on that! Thanks for the video. 🌺

[@CoilyDiaries]

You will get there 💕

[@JacquelinRodriguez-xq8io]

My hair most days needs to be under a head wrap or hat so I go outside with my hair wrapped up and when I co.e home I can manage it First chance I get or First three inches I'm getting skull hair braided for 2 to 4onths that's all I know here's hoping for luck ❤ Jackie

[@JacquelinRodriguez-xq8io]

Heat stre he'd as you call it to me is a straight ing comb that's 🔥 may be a way to go It was real popular in the 70s nut now with all the beauty parlors closed we risk being scorched please give another alternative ❤Jackie

[@JacquelinRodriguez-xq8io]

When I go to my braid shop she will tell me what to do but I think small cornrows or crochet braids seems like a plan 😮❤ Jackie

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@JacquelinRodriguez-xq8io heat is probably not best for long term health. My hair gets split ends from a blow dryer

[@opa9661]

So glad you touched on texture acceptance, this is key to having a beautiful hair journey. Setting our own beauty standards and not what society tells us to look like has profound impact on self-love. Also with detangling, our hair wants to intermingle and that's ok.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Spot on!

[@justbeuneik]

Simplicity is the truth. I've been natural for almost 8 years. Medium flat twists and mini twists are my go-to styles. I don't wear my natural hair down unless it's straight. When in a natural state it dries out pretty fast and gets tangled very easily. I also stopped washing my hair weekly 4 years ago. I now wash bi-weekly or every 3-4 weeks. Keeping my hair stretched and protective styling has been such a game-changer in my natural hair journey.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Glad to see a similar routine is working for you too.

[@vee3133]

Is your hair high porosity?

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@vee3133 am low porosity.

[@justbeuneik]

@VEE Yes, I'm high porosity

[@vee3133]

@justbeuneik yep I'm high porosity too. I've thought about washing my hair every 2 weeks instead of every week. I just need to find a routine and stick with it, so I can see results

I'm happy you said twist and tuck. You're on point because I twist and tuck too, and I don't hear nobody talk about that.

[@CoilyDiaries]

It’s so true!!

[@briantbmoth6472]

You are so right about the synthetic hair drying out your hair. I do notice my hair grows more with the extensions but I just like the passion twists look. But I’ve been lazy and haven’t done in a while. I’ve just been two strand twist or bun.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Yeah they really do dry out my hair like DRRRRRYY!😅

[@MarjorieWilliams-Smith]

I agree with you that castor oil has really helped me keep moisture sealed in my hair. I also like your suggestion to keep the hair regime simple. Thanks so much for your videos.

[@CoilyDiaries]

You are very welcome 🙏🏽

I'm just here to give a testimony about your moisturizing routine. I had a faux locs in for 45 days, after take down My hair came out still very much moisturized. I'm sold❤ thank you ❤

[@NaturallyMe974]

Hello..great tips..I am a mini twist girl..my hair is thin and prone to breakage because of health issues.. I wash my hair once a month, but cleanse my scalp once a week during retwisting..I do not detangle until wash day..when I detangle, I use my DIY Rosemary oil and I also message my scalp with it..let it sit in my hair with plastic bags, scarf and bonnet to generate heat..then shampoo, deep condition..afterward moisturize using the LCO method and retwist my hair..saying it seems like a lot..lol..but my routine is very simple..Happy Hair Growing❤

[@CoilyDiaries]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽. How do you cleanse your scalp weekly? Love your simple routine 💕

[@NaturallyMe974]

@@CoilyDiaries I use peppermint oil and a scalp massager..to clear my follicles of build up, because I remoisturize every 2 to 3 days and I know my leave in conditioner and grease will leak onto my scalp sometimes..yes grease lol, blue magic (blue) or blue magic (Indian Hemp). I use it to seal in moisture, I don't put it on my scalp.

[@SONYARenee]

Relaxed Feb 2021, didn’t relax again, cut October 21’ to ears. Short hair I’ve ever had . I did twists, and wigs, scarfs, or hats. Now back working I wear wigs and will be twists underneath. At bra strap, hopefully to be full bra strap by December. I’m a lazy hair person always have been and the longest my hair has ever been is waist length. I don’t do much unless I get a sewn in , but being herein Japan I just wear a wig.

[@154angel154]

Listen to your hair Sis! If your hair dries out ever 2 to 3 days then remoisturize every other day until your hair stays moisturized for a bit longer. NEVER give your hair an opportunity to dry out is the 🔑!

It me again lol🎉🎉🎉 it is vacation for me so I am spending time watching hair video's and relaxing. With synthetic hair you have to wash it with vinegar first. And continue to moisturize the hair like you normally do. Otherwise it wil be dry indeed. I never thought about human hair.

Girl the dryness is crazy with synthetic 😢! Enjoy vacation! Love your constant comments 🌺

[@c.l.b1667]

@@CoilyDiaries thank you. Hmmm I might consider... using something else...

[@Ten-wk5zk]

I love your simple approach to hair care. Is is detrimental to wash your hair weekly or bi weekly if its in mini twists or synthetic braids? I ask because there isnt much manipulation happening, its just wash, deep condition and LOC? No detangling. I love my weekly washes coz I oil my scalp 2-3 times a week but I also want hair growth, would love to retain as much length as I can

[@CoilyDiaries]

Thanks 🙏🏽! I said detrimental for me to wash that often with a harsh shampoo. Not relating to mini twists or synthetic hiair

Hi,i don't like silk or satin bonnet or pillow case. I use 100%egyptian cotton pillow case they are smooth. But everyone talks about satin or silk .any other natural fabrics i can use like tebcel .

[@CoilyDiaries]

satin and silk are the best

[@antoinettechingangu425]

@CoilyDiaries Have u used 100%egyptian cotton pillow cases before?

[@msylvini]

​@@antoinettechingangu425 I get that Egyptian cotton is super comfortable and soft but it's the fabric itself - cottton - that absorbs the products in your hair and thereby strips it of moisture. Satin/Silk is non-absorbent even when it comes to skin products.

What about mini braids instead using all your tips

[@novatastic1111]

Mini braids are great too! I tried mini twist I liked it but I feel the style doesn’t last as long as mini braids ! So I started to do mini braids instead so I can keep it in for 1-2 months without tangles !

[@CoilyDiaries]

would work too!

[@nadrickbarrett5897]

Curly Diaries thanks much for the valuable info. I have shoulder length hair when stretched. I have fine medium density 4c hair. Twist does not look good in my hair. What other protective style would you recommend for my hair. Also my hair locks easily.

[@CoilyDiaries]

you just have to try things and see what you like. maybe braids or cornrows

I wore my hair out in a high puff for a week and my hair won’t stop shedding…..my hair was past my shoulders..now I’m back to nape length and it won’t stop shedding….thanks a lot for the tips..But please how can I stop the shedding……?

stopping the shedding requires you to know the cause. iron, hormonal scalp condition etc… your Dr can take a hair sample

What is so unique about your video? Everything you say was already said by others. The only thing I will agree with is the part about genes. Hair grows, you just have to take care of it. Genes have to do with texture, straight, curly, coily, etc. Nothing unique or exciting here, just regurgitating stuff that's already been said.

[@CoilyDiaries]

I did say some tips are common and others are not. Vine wrapping for example is not something I have seen a lot of. Stopping the weekly washes, synthetic hair, not wearing my hair out. All these are not as common from what I see on youtube. Feel free to skip over "length retention" videos if you think the msg is redundant but I will continue to share my journey and what has worked for me because someone is looking for this information.
