Thanks for making it short

[@marleyhill34]

My hair is very dry. It is naturally high porosity and ultra-fine due to genetics. I've also become allergic to most raw oils and butters. My trichologists gave me a recommended regimen: 1. shampoo weekly. 2. Deep condition weekly with a plastic cap and a hot towel for 20 minutes. 3. apply leave in lotion-like( more watery) detangler and leave-in cream conditioner and put under a plastic cap and hot towel for 20 minutes daily. This stopped all dryness on my hair and scalp.

[@CoilyDiaries]

love this for you ❤️

[@ibyou5062]

I don't know if that would work because your high porosity and all you are doing is lifting up the cutiles because you are "using" heat for the product to Penetrate. Since i'm low porosity, i prefere you look videos specially for high porosity. Also i heard that a lot of high porosity use apple cider vinegar to prevent the hydration to evaporate faster. But yeah check some videos

[@ibyou5062]

And i know that high porosity prefere heavier product so 🤷‍♀️

[@roardanyielle3560]

I'm with you on the humidity = moisture for my hair, and I'm big on glycerine & aloe juice, so have you thought about a steamer for the dryer weather when it's not so humid out. I didn't see some one else commented about the steamer guess we're on the same path. 😊

[@cbchang6200]

Hydrating my hair with water daily is key to my rapid hair growth. I dampen my with fortified distilled water and then put on moisturizer. I fortify my water with a little leave-in conditioner. My leave-in conditioner is also liquid.

[@CoilyDiaries]

wow. daily is some commitment

[@fearTMHrepent]

Hello my sister, yes what you say makes sense. I grew up poor. My mom couldn't deal with my long kinky hair so after shampoo and conditioner the next day she would wet my hair sloppy wet then add hair grease just to get through my hair. She would style my hair while wet. Lol i used to cry when it was hair day. It always took two days. Im back on that regiment because it works. I'm older now, so my hair is thick and healthier with less product. Water water water for those of us like me. Thank you always.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Let me tell y'all. Hard Water is the enemy to your hair and skin. I started collecting rainwater for my hair and its never been dry since

[@CoilyDiaries]

[@Lavender_2002]

Do you warm it up before using or ?

[@NatureCoilsbyPW]

You can also use distilled water as a final rinse also. It’s cheap but you can also buy a distiller to make your own.

[@RB-ux9bh]

You are absolutely right. A filter can also help.

[@YTD07]

So you collect water wheb it rains, I'm assuming

You are such a breath of fresh air. So many channels seem to be so negative..... don't do this, don't do that. This is wrong, that is wrong. But they never tell you what is right ..... Except.... When they're trying to get you to buy their own or their sponsors' products. And then there's you .... Simple, clear and concise info. You are down to earth When someone gives long explanations and big words I know they gonna say a load of nonsense. Your explanation are simple so everyone can understand without the jargon

[@CoilyDiaries]

such an uplifting comment! thanks classy girl🌺🌺

[@marleyhill34]

I think a lot of cosmetologists and natural hair content creators are frustrated with the damage that they see done to people's hair...particularly when someone does one-size-fits-all all hair care tips and doesn't tailor it specifically to the individual person. For example, I can't use raw oils and butters..it causes an allergic reaction and inflammation and irritation on my scalp...If I keep doing that my follicles will be damaged, dead and I would be bald. My scalp wasn't always like this but now with age-ing it is so I had to change my whole routine/regimen, products and techniques. I can still use products with oils and butters in them or I can seal with silicone. I've been natural for 15 years and I just want to see people with kinky, coily and curly live their best hair life and not feel like it's impossible and a chore.

[@CurlyCrowie]

@@marleyhill34 I am so glad you posted this. I feel inclined to go the same route. Butters are way too heavy for my 3a/b. I never thought of silicone.

[@marleyhill34]

@@CurlyCrowie no problem. A few tips on silicone: 1. Do not put silicone on your scalp or roots. 2. remove the silicone build up with a clarifying sulfate shampoo every 4 to 6 weeks. 3. Do not be heavy handed with the silicone. Only a small amount is needed. If you can research the pros and cons of silicones as they exist for every ingredient there is. Curly chemistry on youtube is a scientist who breakdown the ingredients in products.

[@CurlyCrowie]

@@marleyhill34 yes i follow Curly Chemistry. Thanks for the tips. I was gonna get some for my mom's hair, stubborn and difficulty to style and easy to frizz. I may as well get some for both of us. I was trying to stop the oils and butters and didn't know how to seal in the moisture.

[@ggqnice]

Yes, you hit the nail on the head! I ljust learned this from an Instagram stylist, 😂, and I figured out recently that the problem with my hair and skin is dehydration, because I started taking fewer showers during the pandemic. The same way it does no good to put lotion on dry skin, it also does no good to pile on products on dehydrated hair. You have o shampoo the hair.

[@CoilyDiaries]

true 🌺

[@tabithahcare2025]

Loving your content lately.... thank you for dropping these gems. Definitely sharing this video

[@CoilyDiaries]

[@Nille0212]

Once I started steaming in my DC, it's changed the game. I am a believer in a clarifying shampoo every wash day. You can't cram all these products on your hair without taking them off. So I do a clarifying shampoo and a then a moisturizing shampoo, and then a rinse out conditioner in the shower. I get out and deep condition with my homemade deep conditioner and steam it in. I only use my dryer when doing a protein treatment (using my deep conditioner and added hydrolyzed keratin and wheat protein drops I bought from Amazon). I do rinse with cold water, because I don't do everything in one day. I physically can't because of my disability so I just add a creamy leave-in and leave my hair towel on until the next morning and then I steam it again while applying my products. I go from wash to wash and only remoisturize my hairline because I wash out the edge control as I wash my face each night. Once I really learned what my hair likes it's been pretty easy to keep it healthy. I haven't needed a trim in about 15 months (and that's my licensed cosmetologist telling me after straightening my hair and doing a good examination throughout my whole head every 3 months) so it's allowed me to retain all my length. I do green tea rinses so my hair barely sheds anymore and that's keeping it thicker and longer as well. But I couldn't do any of that without hydrating my hair well as my foundation.

I have naturally high porosity hair. I do the cold water to smooth the cuticle down for detangling because I know my hair absorbs everything and then loses it within 24 hours!! Lol!

I think I tried rinsing with cold water twice. That’s not for me Lol. I’ll stick to my warm water thank you 😊

[@mikochild2]

​​@@marleyhill34right. Warm water to absorb then seal with cold. The conditioner should be absorbed prior to the cold rinse. Leave in isn't designed to be rinsed out though so I'm not surprised if rinsing leave in out with cold water doesn't work well.

[@marleyhill34]

@@mikochild2 um.... I use the cold water after rinsing deep conditioner but before my leave in spray detangler and leave in cream conditioner. I'm not sure what everyone else is doing but that's what works for me. I think the cold water rinse maybe is a problem for low porosity, coarse hair types? My hair is the opposite of that.

[@Cantetinza17]

I hate when I do so much during wash day to wake up the next day and my hair is stiff as hell. I have to re-wet it just to get it to do something.

[@EerieUniverse]

One thing that might help is each night apply a light amount of almond oil on your hair before wrapping it. Give it a few days and you'll notice your hair having more of a natural shine, super softness and it won't be dry. Well this process works for my hair.

If you have low porosity hair as I do my cuticles close naturally on its own. I really don't have to force my cuticles to close with cider vinegar that's for sure. Hair maintenance with high porosity hair versus low is different.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Good for you! No need to change anything if you have figured out what your hair likes

[@Omaig]

Hi coily diaries how do you make the apple cider vinegar spritz you use after the castor oil? By the way I have learnt a ton from you and your channel,many thanks to you!!!

[@CoilyDiaries]

aim for a PH of 4-4.5 for This is usually 1 tsp ACV to 240mls distilled water ❤️

[@Omaig]

@@CoilyDiaries thank you!

[@BlessingMayango]

Cold water is for high porosity hair. I did that before and it didn’t work for me and if I put oil on my hair before I put leave in conditioner, it will just sit on my hair and dry it out. Thank sis

[@CoilyDiaries]

understand why you would say that🌺

[@barbarafallin2038]

I use Max curl activator ,after I wash my hair, it works for me

[@CoilyDiaries]

nice!

[@MsFavoredhighly]

I use alkaline water put it in a spray bottle and spray my hair every other day after moisturizing my strands and my hair stays very hydrated

[@CoilyDiaries]

interesting…

[@g0neg1rlg0ne]

Great video. Please can you tell how we can know a shampoo with a high ph ?

[@CoilyDiaries]

test the PH with PH strips. chelating shampoos have the highest

[@blazee3895]

Thank you❤

You're welcome 😊

[@eberechigoo4695]

Thanks for the information but how about high porosity hair. It's winter now and my hair is bone dry no matter what I try to do. Thanks and God bless

[@CoilyDiaries]

This applies to all hair . Video on sealing the cuticle coming soon 🌺

[@Nenye104]

Please talk about how to cover hair when we have to leave hair products on your hair and go to school or anywhere, to avoid letting out the gross smell

[@CoilyDiaries]

do you mean like deep conditioning or moisturising? I would just pop a plastic cap and head wrap on

[@SilverSageStories65]

Very interesting! Great video!!! I have never separated moisture and hydration. Question… I don’t rinse my hair with cool water nor have I tried Apple cider vinegar rinse. I assume that my cooler leave-ins will close the cuticle. Just leaving to the cooler air will close the cuticles? Your thoughts?

[@CoilyDiaries]

this is correct. the only thing about products is that if it’s Sumer for example they could warm up and the cuticle raise especially if you go outside. PH is good for added help to keep the cuticle shut.🌺

[@msann7988]

Hello Coliy have you ever looked at the effects is hard water on hydrating the hair ?

[@CoilyDiaries]

I have recently done a video on this. look around 🤗

[@marleyhill34]

got to have a very good filter or a chelating shampoo to get that hard water build up off the hair.

[@blowthehorn]

When you take a douche you can put your braided head or whatever hairdress you have under the douche and let the water go trough your hair to hydrate it. I do that when it is raining hard in Suriname. I then take a bad in the rain and my hair too. It feels amazing

[@CoilyDiaries]

not sure I understand this comment 🤔

[@marleyhill34]

@@CoilyDiaries I think they mean shower instead of douche. They speak Dutch in Suriname. We don't go outside in the rain in cold countries with our head uncovered..unless we want to catch pneumonia. Suriname is a tropical country. it's hot all year round with high humidity. I was raised in the Caribbean so my hair stayed moisturised there longer. It's hot and humid. heat and moisture.

[@MsVakong]

​@@marleyhill34I'm Caribbean too, but I was very confused by the word douche. Thanks for explaining as douche means something completely different to me. 😂

[@marleyhill34]

@@MsVakong although I was raised in the English speaking Caribbean, I learned French and Spanish at school there. I've to Italy, France and Spain. Douche in French and Dutch means shower in English. These are the romance languages along with Portuguese where the root is Roman Latin. English has borrowed a lot of words the the French. I studied international relations as a degree so i understand the cultural differences.

[@cheriedeparis5000]

I understood what she meant as well but it pretty funny as douche for some English speakers can mean a feminine hygiene wash and it seems applicable to some extent as they may be hair in both places. 😅😂😂

Thanks 😇

[@dame8965]

Thank you for this amazing information. I’m gathering info for my girls hair (7 years old). She has dry hair. I recently trimmed her hair but gave her a cut instead. 😢. Her hair seems to be low porosity and is always dry. From what I gather from your video, I need to shampoo (which open the cuticles), deep conditioner under the dryer ( the heat will hydrate the hair), rinse with what kind of water please ? Add leave in conditioner, (back under the dryer) after Spray with apple cider vinegar to close off cuticles and seal with castor oil) is that the order please ?

[@CoilyDiaries]

hi Sis. the video gives you the order. ACV is the final thing you do. most shampoos already have a higher PH to open the cuticle. hydration is water. in order to get it in use a shampoo or heat. they both open the cuticle. please see my moisturising routine for details🌺

[@dame8965]

@@CoilyDiaries thank you for your reply. This weekend is wash day. I’ll def. Try this method

[@shannonarmstrong6364]

Thanks for tips I absolutely cannot and will not rinse with cold water, per my hair 😂😂😂😂😂 I do wash every 7 thru 10 days, makes it easy to handle my long tight tight tight coils / curls / etc ….❤😂🎉😂

[@CoilyDiaries]

totally understand it😅

[@marleyhill34]

Lol! I just stick my head under the shower hose....while my entire body is fully covered and warm. I have a sensitive scalp so my scalp actually finds it calming after all that wash day manipulation.

[@ladybird491]

You are saying putting products in then steam then more products? I got really soft and hydrated hair without the last step.

[@CoilyDiaries]

if your hair is thriving no need to take on anything I say but if you can make beneficial improvements then go for it 🌺

[@shebrellehunter-green8893]

Hello, I wet my thick 4C hair in the shower daily so I can comb it through. I apply leave in then my oil. Is this a combo for disaster? My hair has always been dry. I’ve been natural since 2021. Still learning. Thank you.

[@CoilyDiaries]

wetting and combing your hair daily isint what I’d recommend if length is a goal of yours🌺

This explains why a lady said to me, "water, warm water is natural hair's best friend. People try to say it dries out your hair but they're wrong. Use it combined with a moisturizer. And watch it grow." After listening to that suggestion, my hair started being more easy to manage and retain length.

[@CoilyDiaries]

love warm water!

[@jocelynford4209]

Agreed! My hair loves loves loves being Hydrated! For me it’s also a self-esteem boost. One time after taking down braids, I noticed that I felt amazing and so refreshed after giving myself a great wash, a slick back bun with damp roots! Just as We get thirsty, our hair needs water too! We need to shy away from some of these long standing terms like “don’t get your hair wet”. (Of course not if you just had your hair straightened lol) but ideally our hair needs water on a frequent basis. Even if you can spritz it (depending on the style you have) 😊
