The CoilyQueens Hair Growth Regimen

Your guide to easy breezy coily hair

It took me many years to create this regimen, so if you use the steps please give the CoilyQueens Regimen credit. I see lots of people using my methods and that is what I want, but credit would be wonderful. These steps may sound simple but they are created to solve issues and one step works with the next. So adopt the whole regimen and not just a portion to get the best results. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the CoilyQueens Family! 

Before you begin this regimen you want to correct your high porosity to ensure that your hair cuticle opens and flattens when it should. Read about high porosity here.   If you are suffering from excessive tangles and single strand knots then do this regimen first. Once you have completed the treatment then start the CQR. The CoilyQueens Regimen is a lifestyle.

Soft defined easy breezy twist outs just  a few  benefits of the CQR.

LET'S GET STARTED!!!

PART ONE:

Here are the main steps to the CQR and the benefits of each step. Write  the steps on your hair calendar, so you will know what to do daily and bi weekly. 

MOISTURIZE:

• Shampoo/deep condition your hair twice a week (shampoo every 3rd day)  If you shampoo on Monday, then shampoo again on Thursday, this comes out to twice a week.
• Clarify your hair/scalp once a month with a Mineral clay masque(recipe here)
• Apply leave in conditioner to your hair daily for the first 30 days  on the regimen. Then apply leave in conditioner every 2-3 days thereafter, or as needed.  (see list of suggested leave in conditioners) Moisture retention
• Give your hair an apple cider vinegar rinse once per week, for the first month on this regimen, if you have been experiencing very dry hair, knots or tangles. After one month only do ACV rinses once or twice per month (ACV rinses) Helps hair stay moisturized longer.

ABOUT SHAMPOO AND AFRO HAIR You will notice the shampoo step falls under moisture. It is a myth that shampooing Afro hair to often will make it dry and brittle. It is shampooing the hair with the wrong products that dries the hair out. The shampoo process is mainly two steps, we cleanse the germs and dirt then we add moisture back by conditioning. When done with the right PH balanced products your hair will not dry out. Instead you will see that your hair thrives with better hydration and increased growth.

STIMULATE:
*Practice Oil Therapy 
*Scalp brushing 2 to 3 times per week (instructions here)

*Oil Therapy

Identify your hair issue, then choose the right oils to treat your issue. Daily you will apply oil mix to your scalp and massage in for 10 minutes. Then smooth oil over each hair strand. Done correctly this will totally eliminate your single strand knots, greatly reduce your tangles, give you better shine and increase your hair growth rate. You choose one singular oil you love and use that every other day. Then you choose a stimulating oil recipe from the CQR recipe list here. You will use that stimulating oil 3 times per week. THIS IS CALLED OIL THERAPY AND IT IS AMAZING!

Red palm oil

Emu oil

1/4  CUP COLD PRESSED COCONUT OIL
1/4 CUP OF COLD PRESSED GRAPE SEED OIL
NIGHT BEFORE: LIGHTLY MIST HAIR WITH WARM WATER AND GENEROUSLY  MASSAGE OIL ONTO SCALP AND HAIR. COVER WITH A PLASTIC CAP, THEN TIE DOWN WITH A SCARF, AT LEAST 16 HOURS BEFORE YOUR SHAMPOO

PROTECT: The following practices keep your hair protected and retaining length

• Give your hair a hard protein treatment every 4-6 weeks (Aphogee 2-step suggested) Protection from breakage
• Apply a singular natural oil mix to your hair daily (choose coconut oil, avocado oil, or castor oil) Protection from knots
• Before each shampoo untangle hair with a half and half mix of grapeseed oil and coconut oil. Protection from hair loss.
• Always cover your hair at night with a charmeuse silk bonnet.
• Fingercomb 97% of the time, do not brush or comb wet hair, use your fingers. Protection from breakage.
• When you need to comb use a seamless comb only, absolutely no brushes.  Protection from breakage and popping.

Recommended protein treatments

Aphogee 2 step treatment (moderate to severe breakage)

Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor (mild to moderate)

Green Beauty real protein (mild breakage)

Hydro Therma Naturals silk amino acids treatment (mild)

Shea Moisture weekly hair and scalp (moderate)

The CQR does not recommend raw eggs or avocados as a protein treatment. Eat your eggs and avocados, the protein will benefit you from the inside out, since your hair is made mostly of protein. The raw eggs and avocados will not protect your hair, due to the molecular structure. If anything you might create a breeding ground for fungus and bacteria. Beware no matter how many videos you see of that practice. 

Each protein treatment is different, always follow the directions on the protein treatment you choose to use. If you have never worked with protein treatments, I highly recommend you read the CQR guide to protein.

FOLLOWING OIL THERAPY STEPS GREATLY REDUCES YOUR TANGLES AND MAKES WASH DAY A BREEZE

Help removing tangles

Tangles are a major issue for those with tightly coily hair, whether you are untangling your hair from a long work week or whether you are removing a set of extensions or a weave. Whichever your case the CoilyQueens Regimen has you covered.

 

Supplies needed:

• Fingers lubricated and nails free of snags
• A thick conditioner such as Tresemee
• Or a bottle of your own detangling spray (recipe here)

TreSemee is a great conditioner for removing braids

YOU CAN ALSO USE THE CQR-SUPER DETANGLER AND HAVE AN ALL NATURAL DETANGLER THAT WORKS EVEN BETTER!



Method A:
1. Remove the hair extensions or weave.
2. Apply a generous amount of a  thick conditioner or the CQR-Super detangler to your hair. 
3. Allow the conditioner to soak in for 3 minutes. 4.Remove tangles and mats from hair using your fingers, making your thumbs do most of the work separating your hair strands.
5.  Continue untangling in small sections using your fingers only. Do not use any type of comb or brush. 


Method B:
 (for stubborn or excessive tangles)

Apply a generous amount of  thick conditioner all over hair. Then spray with with a detangling spray. You do not want your hair to be soaking wet, just moist. Cover with a self heating conditioning cap and leave it overnight or for one hour. When you remove your conditioning cap you will see that your tangles just melt between your fingers.

No Brushes ever

Brushes damage the protein bonds of your hair shaft and over time your hair becomes thinner. Regular combs and brushes rip and split Afro hair. You will mostly notice this on the ends of your hair. Brushes and most combs also create split ends, this makes you need more trims during the year, so you retain less length.  For this reason the Coily Queens Regimen practices finger combing and finger styling.  Afro hair is not meant to be brushed. If you need to use a comb purchase a seamless comb. Making this one change can help you retain more inches  per year, enabling you to reach your hair growth goals faster.

  

Seamless combs are great investments learn more about seamless combs here

 

PART THREE:  Shampoo and Deep Conditioning

How to shampoo your hair

1. When your hair is free of tangles, allow medium hot water to run over your hair for 1 to 3 minutes, while gently rubbing your finger through your hair to help remove dirt and product.
2. Apply your shampoo and gently rub through your hair using long strokes and keep hair going in a downward motion. Do not rub in circles.
3. With one hand hold a medium section of your hair then with your finger tips rub your scalp in the same area. When you are satisfied move to the next section. (for those with excess tangles or those transitioning you want to put your hair in 5 to 7 big twists and shampoo that way)
4. After rubbing your whole scalp then rinse the shampoo from your hair with medium hot water, remove all shampoo. (Twist outs=one lather, wash an goes=two lathers)
5. Slather on your deep conditioner from the roots to the tips, cover with a plastic cap and sit under hooded dryer or steamer for 20 minutes. 
6. Rinse DC from hair using cool water, rinse all of conditioner out.
7. Now turn water down to cold and hold your head under the cold water for 1 minute, only getting the middle to the ends of your hair so the cold water does not get on your scalp.
8. While your hair is still soaking wet, apply some of your leave in conditioner and blot the excess water away. Wrap in a cotton towel or t-shirt.
9. For healthy hair allow it to air dry. Or style while wet. You will need to apply more of your leave in conditioner, because your t-shirt may have wiped some of it off. Apply your leave in, oils and style product. 
10. Style your hair.

PART SIX:  Porosity

High porosity: When the hair is damaged and has broken spaces on the hair cuticle, which make the hair lose moisture quickly. Because the hair loses moisture quickly, your hair stays dry consistently, no matter what product you use. It absorbs moisture quickly but loses it fast. 

Solution: Apply CQR pre treatment oil mix to protect hair during the shampoo process. Once per week apply a ACV rinse to your hair.  After you rinse out your deep conditioner, with hair still soaking wet pour an organic apple cider vinegar rinse all over hair, let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse out with cool water. Follow with your (cold) leave in conditioner.

Low porosity/normal porosity:
Hair appears to have a hard time absorbing moisture, but once it does it stays moisturized all day or more. All hair is porous. Some people think that it takes to long for water to absorb into their hair. Most times this is due to product build up. Also hair will only absorb but so much water. This hair type is normal. Water will absorb in all hair. No such thing as hair that cannot absorb water. 

Solution: Steps you can take to ensure your hair gets the moisture you desire. You will also do the CQR oil pre treatment, but you will use heat during the pre treatment. Apply the oil pre treatment, then sit under a heat cap for 10 minutes. Let oil mix sit on hair overnight. The CQR oil pre treatment must sit on hair for 16 hours in order for the coconut oil to absorb and give you protection. In the morning rinse oil out with warm water, then shampoo hair.
