LENGTH RETENTION at every stage: TWA, BRA STRAP LENGTH, WAISTLENGTH

[@tracywilliams1484]

Call me dirty, too, Sis! 😂😂😂 I started gaining INCHES from shampooing less! I was doing these weekly challenges and wasn't getting anywhere! I accidently discovered growth by not having the time to wash weekly!😂😂😂 Thank you for your consistency on KZbin. I appreciate your genuine spirit and very helpful advice. ❤

[@Sweet_Ness_69]

True! So did I.

[@CoilyDiaries]

love to hear that am not the only one. I hope to create a space we can all freely share and smash our hair goals with no judgement 🌺

[@belindasanders1719]

Thank you for sharing. I'm older and like boring hairstyles🙂. I still wash weekly and just put my hair back in tucked chunky twists. I re-moisturize between washes 2 times a week. I have found my staple products. I still experiment, but always come back to the same products. Thanks for addressing protein sensitivity. I cringe when that phrase is used. I have pushed my wash to 2 weeks without any issues. Detangling hasn't been an issue since I have been following your advice. My hair is still moisturized on wash day so detangling is easy.

[@CoilyDiaries]

so glad to hear your personalised routine 🌺 yeah protein sensitivity is a phrase that is thrown around

[@chipochongo]

I’ve learnt a lot from your hair journey and honestly I am able to retain length as a result. One thing I learnt that has helped is, less is better. Leaving the hair alone, washing less, using only what my hair needs…simplicity has helped.

[@CoilyDiaries]

exactly. I stand by those habits and my results are visible I guess. keep going my love 😍

[@YummyCandiCollection]

Thank you so much for sharing!! I'm at bra strap and my goal is waist length. Thanks for the tips!! I dry detangle the night prior to wash day to remove shed hair. That really helps to have a faster and easier wash day.

[@CoilyDiaries]

So welcome sis🌺

[@devonnebeckham5553]

Do you dry detangle then leave in twists over night?

[@YummyCandiCollection]

@@devonnebeckham5553 Hi!! Yes mam...I dry detangle to remove shed hair and put my hair back in to twist until wash day. Funny thing...I'm dry detangling right now lol😂. Wash day tomorrow!

[@ebonywatson9939]

I to love my hair. I was going through the “ I don’t know what to do with my hair” stage, but I decided that whatever my hair is going through I love. She has her own personality and she’s stubborn so I just follow her lead. Ms. Seeny, I call her, she’s old and set in her ways. Ty for your videos. If you ever make a product, I will be first in line cause your method has my hair moisturized for 2 weeks. I was moisturizing every 2 days. Ty❤❤❤❤

[@CoilyDiaries]

love to hear you embracing the stage your hair is at! thanks for the support for a possible product! a few people have shown interest🌺

[@Discovering_Hope]

Thanks so much, Beautiful Sister! You make so much sense. My problem is that my scalp dries so fast, but when I take my braids out, they are moisturized (oil). So I am trying to find the right moisture for my scalp. I don't yet know what my sebum feels like. I am trying to "tune in" to my hair so I can learn it. Your hair is so beautiful, as are you. I appreciate your common sense "learn your own hair" approach. It is the only correct way because we ALL have different hair, even if we have 4C hair, which I have. I am trying to find the correct protein for my hair. I am loving your channel. Thanks again.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Hi beautiful 😍 So I use water glycerin, jojoba or olive oil and essential oils on my scalp weekly. Video coming soon. About sebum, you can check your own level easily. One day after your wash day, gently scratch your scalp a day after then on day 7 after wash, then day 14, day 21 etc. the day you see sebum in your nail, take note of that. If it takes only 7 day or less to see sebum you have high sebum levels , 14-21 days,medium. Beyond that you have low sebum. Do the test without putting anything on your scalp 🌺

[@Discovering_Hope]

@@CoilyDiaries Thank you. I will do exactly that! 🥰

Currently experiencing a setup, I was the primary caregiver for my mother while she was going through chemo, and just say I was less than careful when caring for her. The resulting thinning and hair loss I know is attributable to my indiscretions as she was my only priority. Thank you for you consistency and insight, it came to me at the right time on my journey. Now this manipulation for 3 months challenge, my hair has grown about 1 inch in 1 month, I am going to have to redo my cornrows and make them smaller and leave them for 2 months. I am really really trying not to touch it but my hair is overachieving, rosemary, castor oil and glycerin are the truth.

[@CoilyDiaries]

So sorry to hear this… great thing you are on the right track now🌺

[@sharoncarty5096]

Thanks. Cant wash weekly. Too much to detangle. Probably pass my neck now. Helpful.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Can relate! Sounds like you have find a suitable wash frequency that suits your hair and it’s needs 🌺

[@justbeuneik]

Great tips. The back half of my hair is now at waist length. Definitely not the length to be playing around with. I now wash my hair 1 to 2 times a month, depending on the season. My go-to styles are medium flat twists for the warmer months and silk press for the colder months. I do wet detangling with the kazmaleje wet brush when deep conditioning, then after blow drying, I do dry detangling with my tangle teezer. Girl, I don't care what people say. 😂 I'm washing my hair when it suits me best. Washing my hair 3 to 4 times a week at a time is good enough for me. Plus I'm saving money on buying products.

[@CoilyDiaries]

love kazmaleje tools! live to hear confirmation of some of the things am discussing in the video! how do you maintain your scalp for a month?

[@justbeuneik]

@CoilyDiaries During the warmer months, I spray rose water on my scalp to lessen the sebum on my scalp each week. I wash my hair every 3 weeks during the warmer months. For the colder months I go 4 weeks without washing my hair. My scalp gets dryer in the winter time so I add a bit of oil to my scalp each week as I wear my hair straight. I also add a bit of oil and shea butter to my straight hair to reduce the frizz from the cold.

[@She-Ra111]

I have been using glycerin for a while and it definitely moisturizes my hair. I do love it. But, my hair is like a shag/mullet - short on the sides (above the breast) and longer in the back (above bra strap). I've been natural for 9 years!! It's fine, weak-sauce, even with protein treatments and leave-ins and henna/cassia. I'm about to start all over (again) cuz I'm just DONE.

[@A_Wilson]

Are you planning to do something different after you cut it off?

[@CoilyDiaries]

I hear your frustration! which protein treatment are you using l, how often and how often do you wash and detangle? I think figure out the issue before you cut so that if you decide to start over, you know what works🌺

[@westberry1]

Love your videos can you talk more about the protein because whenever I use protein on my hair, it gets very hard.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Will do!! Protein does that to our hair. The key is to follow up with deep conditioning to soften. Video on the line up

[@cookiescolorsblend4390]

You have beautiful hair, your hair reminds me of my oldest daughter’s hair so thick. I use the ReVair to stretch my hair sometimes to help reduce tangles. It’s just a suggestion if you haven’t already tried it. I think you might love it as much as I do.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Thanks for sharing!! girl am so scared of heat. It gives me so much dryness and splits

[@cookiescolorsblend4390]

@@CoilyDiaries, my hair is tonebone and the ReVair doesn’t dry my hair out. You can use it on cool if you decide to try it.

hey sis great question. so many videos about edges already in the channel. have a look 🌺

[@paballonkosi5615]

Thanks I will verify the videos.

[@Mande30]

Wonderful video and tips. The only thing that I do differently is wash my hair weekly. I’ve tried to last longer, but my scalp will just not cooperate. 😂. Plus, I really looooove wash day and caring for my hair. It’s one of my hobbies, if that makes sense. I have worked over time to know MY hair and its likes and dislikes. I’ve learned to reject the things that the community says I should do that my hair does not respond well to. What do you think about dry dangling with oil?

[@CoilyDiaries]

am a huge supporter of what works for you! many of us have a scalp that would love weekly washes but hair that hates it. I try to find a middle ground and implement some things to keep my scalp happy till my hair is ready. video on dry detangling coming 🌺

[@Mande30]

@@CoilyDiariesmy scalp is sooo sensitive, if I put a drop of anything on it, it acts up. My hair seems to be fine with weekly washing. I am a fitness instructor. My head sweats a lot. The sweat dries my hair out and doesn’t make it smell so well. I really can’t see any other way. I only detangle once a week and I am gentle. As long as I stay consistent with my routine, I’m ok.

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@Mande30 love it!🥰

[@ebonywatson9939]

I’m still trying to find a balance with my hair cause my hair hates wash day but my scalp loves it. If I could go 6-8 weeks before washing I certainly would. My scalp would be on fire though, dognabit

[@IndigooceanOrg]

I think I'm similar. My scalp wants to be washed before my hair does. I'm thinking about extending my nightly face routine to my scalp skin as well, at least the moisturizing parts. (Centella, snail mucin, SOD spritz, and Vit C serum, maybe followed by some oil, which on my face would be a moisturizing cream.) At least when I don't use any heat at wash day, so don't have to worry about reverting, this is probably what I've been ignoring because I don't see others talking about it.

[@CoilyDiaries]

Am in the same boat! essential oils, massage, moisture and brushing my scalp help my scalp stay happy till my hair is ready!

[@esthertjones]

Would you ever consider creating a moisturising leave-in based on your glycerin/water mix? Dry detangling only works for me if my hair is really stretched out, otherwise I'm just fighting the coils, so I'm sticking with wet detangling for now. Long hair can NEVER be boring!🎉

[@CoilyDiaries]

Yeah dry detangling works best on stretched moisturised hair. Ohhh a leave would be nice hey? I guess I would I just didn’t know you guys would be keen on it. Also life is so busy at the moment 🤔 but futuristically maybe… long hair is always fun hey!

Hi! I’m new to your channel and I loving it my hair is naturally dry an toasty, I want to try glycerin but where to buy it at pharmacy or at beauty supply?

[@CoilyDiaries]

no idea hun it depends where you live. otherwise Amazon. links in description

[@jmunroe]

I have a question, would you suggest doing a mini chop if you're experiencing midshaft splits?

[@CoilyDiaries]

I would hun😏. some products can temporarily fix splits but once the hair splits it needs to go. you could trim it off slowly if you don’t want to lose too much length

[@jmunroe]

Thank you for replying. I was thinking of completely chopping it off again so I have plenty to think about 🤔 lol

[@ms.evegene]

Exactly how long from BRA to WAIST? If you remember 😊

[@CoilyDiaries]

I was stuck at bra strap for a while but can’t tell you exactly how long or the inches sorry

[@leefortunate5764]

I cut my hair yesterday because it had a lot of mid shift splits can you please address this topic and how to avoid them in future, I don’t even know what’s causing them because I don’t use head, I don’t add extensions on my hair ❤

[@CoilyDiaries]

so sorry to hear you have had a set back. heat usually caused my mid shaft splits but two other things you could consider are over manipulation and a lack of protein.

[@esthertjones]

Overly stripping shampoos can also cause midshaft splits, so make sure you're focusing more on moisturising cleansers vs clarifying ones.

I am so proud of you how you stayed consistent with your hair. It is so nice to see your beautiful thick long healthy hair. Hairgoals for me lol😅!! Also learned you are also SDA from instragram. I knew you since you did the no comb challenge from NBB channel on fb. And I tried it and it works well. My problem is not being consistent and not moisturizing my dry hair enough. ( also from within) drinking enough water, smooties ect. I will surely try glycerin!! I try as well to write down in a copybook when I use diy or product how my hair responds to the product or diy. And you have to do what works for you. 😊 Consistensy is the key!! Congrats with waistlength🎉🎉🎉❤
