I have 20-inch hair. The longer it has gotten, the bigger the parts I use. I find that this reduces the handling time. No mini anything on my head anymore. I don't have that time to waste. I support my fine stands with yarn (which I moisturize before use) so the hair does not clump on itself. It also helps to keep it stretched and makes the takedown easier.

@CoilyDiaries 3 ай бұрын

my issue with larger parts is that I don’t like the look and I also get lots of matting particularly at the base which ends up being a tedious detangle

@rosam674 3 ай бұрын

@@CoilyDiaries I feel you. One strategy I have used is to divide my big braid into 3 parts, braid the individual parts at the bottom to about 1 inch then merge the three into one big braid to the end. That way, most of the undoing is on the big braid. But the bottom is well secured from matting.😜

@christinam81 3 ай бұрын

I kinda get what she’s saying. Take a big section of hair and divide it into 3 separate sections as if you were going to braid them like a typical 3-strand braid. One at a time, braid that individual section starting at the root and stop after about an inch, and then do the same with the other two sections. Once you’re done braiding your three individual sections, you’ll gather them all together as if you were doing your individual braid with 3 strands and braid them all together. I believe that is what she meant by saying that the bulk of the braid was the three gathered sections. Imagine the reverse. You unbraid the larger gathered braid, and then you have your three individual braided sections that only have an inch that needs to be unbraided beginning at the root. Hope that helps and didn’t make it more complicated. 😵‍💫

I homeschool, am a full time homemaker and home gardener. I have a daughter with lots of thick hair as well. I don’t have time to be in my head all day so I now put my hair into 4 braids with 2 twists in the front to frame my face after I wash. Washing every 2 weeks keeps the hair from becoming matted and keeps the shed hair from building up. This will make your process so much quicker. You can remoisturize once a week if needed. I braid my hair while it’s still wet to the scalp so it dries neat and flat. The style looks really cute with the braids pinned up or with a triangle scarf over it. You can also wear a wig over it if that’s your cup of tea.

Girl, bravo!! 👏 You did great! I already expressed that I feel you with taking care of our hair and having small children, especially if we want length. It’s no joke! The days of hours in your hair and then being able to just get some rest when you’re done are over! 😅 For me, I literally have to take my braids down once a week, moisturize and re-braid because…I just can’t afford a big take down after 2 or 3 months. The time it takes is too much. But doing it every week when I moisturize my hair allows for it to go much faster. I’m also still postpartum shedding I think, so the amount of shed hair that would get trapped will add much more time to taking it down. This works for me right now, and I can still get the benefits out of protective styling. Your hair looks amazing!! Looking forward to seeing how you roll after this eye opener! Hugs Sis! Hope you’re feeling better. 🥰💕

girl .. honestly!! My hair tangles A LOT and when I first watched one of your videos I tried dry detangling right after. That was good because it resulted in just a little breakage, but the time it took me to do that every time .. ridiculous. I came a long way when it comes to my hair journey, from being relaxed as a child, to my first big chop and so on .. now I KNOW I have to rely on products with a ton of slip if I want to make it out alive. I do my own detangling gel with flaxseed, marshmallow root, slippery elm and okra. I mix it with oil too sometimes. Just wow. I’ve been doing that every single time I have to get into my hair. Another product I have to share is definitely the GroWash cowash from As I Am. A must for me as well when it comes to detangling. The ingredient list is superior too. I never saw a single person talking about it and it really confuses me to when it comes to why. Anyways … just trust me !! Or at least try it out 😁

i think it may be time to introduce stretching or revair into your hair especially before putting in your protective styles. I actually don’t know your process on how you put these in. But, it does seem like you put the brads in on unstretched hair. You have true 4c hair (not like the ones who lie on this app) so you will have to introduce some stretched hair

Great take down. I don't have small children, my son is 21 and away at college for most of the time, but I don't have patience for long take- downs. I therefore do one braid on each side of my hair now. I also use She's the Bomb products that allow me to leave my hair braided and smooth and I'll connect the 2 braids for a more elegant look and I just leave my hair allow. This works better for me because my thin fine hair is fragile during take downs when I place it in additional braids for a long period of time. 2 braids are an easier process for my hair and I'm done quicker, yesterday I shampooed, conditioned and deep conditioned with a heating cap and I rebraided and made dinner. Additional braids are lovely, but I can't tolerate the time and the stress on my hair from the manipulation, but your hair in the video didn't appear to have many angel knots, like mine. I'm going to rest it much of the summer ad I'll let you know the outcome. It usually grows quite a bit if I leave it alone. Thank you so much for sharing.

Oh the things we do for length🙃 You dislike the style that you’re in for months and dread the takedown because it leads to exhaustion🥲 Is focusing on doing styles you enjoy more often out of the question? You already know what it takes to keep your hair healthy. So you’d realistically still see growth, even if it’s not as much due to more styling. So why not just enjoy the length you already have so that you don’t start to resent your natural hair? Either way, I hope you find a routine that makes your natural hair journey enjoyable.

When I take the hair down its already deep conditioned because of the Leave in Conditioner and the hair is softened. And because I have just 2 braids its already Semi detangled. I DO NOT wash and condition my hair in braids. TO ME ...and my hair.....it makes my hair MATT and LOC UP. To me its not worth the 2 additional HOURS or more to take down and detangle. Its very conditioned & still healthy without the LOC up wash in braids. I hope you try my routine. Cuzzzzz gurrrrl I dont spend that kinda time on my 4C tailbone hair.

That's why Rev 21:3-6 is so encouraging. If you can find the best 4c detangling spray sold in your area, it may help with the take down. Corn rows may be best for styling with a bun and adding hair accessories or add-ins for versatility. Distilled ACV(and 100% aloe vera juice mixed in)is like a natural relaxer. You may use it as a rinse straight from the distilled bottle, then use your moisturizing conditioner while the ACV is still on the hair. Leave it in for 15 minutes or so, then rinse with lukewarm water. (You can use alkaline electrolyte water in a spray bottle for more hydration) then moisturize, leave in conditioner, detangling spray and oil before corn rows. (Softee aloe vera curl activator gel with glycerine was good for me to use with wearing corn rows to keep it moisturized) Hope this helps. Thanks for sharing 😀 👍🏾 💐🙏🏽💜

More shedding of course its been awhile but it looks really good. why are u not interested in the Raina conditioner it seemed to n make the take down easier with the bliss conditioner?

@CoilyDiaries 3 ай бұрын

I think it was the combination of all the products plus heat and I used ALOT. any leave in will do. Reina leave in is also a custard so curl defining. I would try look for a leave in that doesn’t enforce the curl. blueberry bliss might be a good one but will do a comparison next time

Hi, would you consider trying Beyoncé’s Cecred hair products? I trust your opinion so much and know you’d keep it real.

@CoilyDiaries 3 ай бұрын

haven’t really thought to as yet . too expensive especially that am trying to rid myself of other products and encourage a simple routine with minimal products. Am in Australia too so the shipping costs would be crazy. I might in the future though will see.

Guess when I take down my braids, I'll watch this video while doing it. I'm currently on braids but I intend to put in a new set on the first day of May so as to start the challenge afresh and I'll leave it in for two months,if I can I'll push it to three that's IF 😅And mehn our hair is quite demanding 😂 it takes a LOT to cater for our type of hair and MAJORITY of us do not have the patience it takes to be gentle. Honestly 😅 I'm tempted to say that natural hair is hard especially when natural hair KZfaqrs are like, " natural hair is not hard, its as easy as you make it." But I try 😖 I try but still the hair is still demanding 😢😢 Like see how long it took JUST to detangle 🤧 Ahhhh nawa ohhhh 😂 It is well ❤️‍🩹

@@CoilyDiaries yes, people will definitely hate on it. But the brutal truth is our hair type, this coily, kinky strands we've got is not for the weak. It's NOT easy. It takes WORK. It demands patience. And lots of it. Sincerely it's much easier to work with a straighter curl because it's straight! It's not coiled up and hugging themselves like our hair does. I tried to tell myself that natural hair is easy and I tried to work with that notion and truth be told, it's not that easy 💁. It requires paitence, gentleness and commitment to take care of natural hair. Which is why some become straight naturals or relax to tex-lax it for ease. So mehn I don't judge no one. Being a natural, I've had a painful journey but I've stood because I DECIDED to stay natural. It's not easy my sister 😂

It seems postpartum shedding contributed to this much take down shedding. Or before now is this the same way your take down hair sheds?

Hi there hello 🤩 mam my hair now is at a length of 6 cm and 9 mm but on the eye straight of the bat every body's gonna think my hair is around about 4 cm and that's why suddenly every body's gonna say my hair grows fast but that is not the case

We be growing our hair why can't we just keep going with the progress that we are privileged to have by all means make it easier we know our mind set's we love long hair so perhaps look into relaxing one's hair soon as we cut it we miss our hair

Yeah 🧗 I've always been growing out my hair and it's never been a real longtime that I spent on my hair I just gotta just let my hair be it's truly a struggle to have short hair and it's never looking in place one will still have to put in the effort regardless of short hair so what's the point in cutting it I think one should trim and not cut one's hair maybe for a event or ordeal don't throw in the towel now mam☕

Perhaps trying less braids would be easier? Or less time in the braids. I know several people who have great success with going only a month at a time.

@CoilyDiaries 3 ай бұрын

That’s an idea. Larger braids give me matted roots but might work on monthly rotation. Hate braids on me though
