I know this video on hair porosity is extensive, and I hope sincerely that you don't feel overloaded or overwhelmed with information. I covered details for low porosity, medium or normal porosity, and high porosity, as well as what products help, what can alter your porosity, and the differences between natural porosity, mechanically induced porosity, and chemically induced porosity changes. As I stated in the beginning of the video, there was a lot to unpack!
If you find this video to be helpful, please share it with a friend or family member you think would benefit from this information. Understanding and catering to the needs of your porosity impacts the hair in a positive way, allowing you to see hair growth, as well as length retention.
Until next time, have an amazing day, take care, God bless, and stay glam!
You know I love you boo,
Linwood

Have you ever tried ouidad melt down recovery mask? Also olaplex no.5 conditioner? I have all three porosities in my hair.
🙋♀️GlamFam I'm sorry I have a question I been natural 4years and half and my hair is growing very well but I don't know what wrong with my bangs there so slow it's only around my nose😐 I don't use heat or dyes or nothing so frustrating 😩 please help
In Colorado, natural hair needs more moisture than climates with humidity.

Thank you!! 🤗🤗
You're my saviour
Thank you!
Thank u sooooo much!!

Only about 10 mins in and this is already the most in depth video I’ve found about hair porosity
Exactly but yet there goes those dislikes....like how can you dislike actual knowledge of any subject. Some people are just completely off
I absolutely agree. So very knowledgeable. I didn't have a glue about what my hair could do. Wow!
Tooķ me about 2 mins. 😊
I love it
NO FR!!
This man has changed my life. Forever grateful!
Thanks so much for watching!!
I laughed out loud when you said a bad kid messing up the blinds.... my 3 nieces live with me. Pray for my blinds yall because they have gone through it! 😂
I’m always a fan of anyone who acknowledges that there are some naturals who have NATURALLY high porosity hair, not that we damaged it. Thank you!
THIS!! I DC weekly and keep it in coils. If I don't, my hair will be dry and break.
@@GoldSag1 How do you keep it in coils?
Right here!
I'm in this club
My hair has been high porosity for as long as I've been natural however my mom did relax my hair until I was 13. So I'm not sure if that caused it
I love your teaching style. “Explain it like I’m a 10yr old”. And I love how you always tackle the fads, without throwing shade.
Gotta watch slower, listen faster, lol.
May you be richly blessed young man. I am a woman of a certain and have ALWAYS had issues caring for my what I think is 4B hair. It has caused serious depression as even visiting a stylist every two weeks I could not retain length. This video is like a brick of GOLD to me in terms of education!
You articulated so clearly the difference between low and high porosity. I went to hair school years ago and shamefully graduated without confidently comprehending low and high porosity... so thank you..
OMG he is the BEST teacher!
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
Literally, you are Linwood. I’m hooked on your way of educating. This is my second time watching this video and it won’t be my last. So informative, I have to take literal 📝 because my children and I all seem to have different porosity, textures and density. Linwood! Thanks for sharing your gift with us all
@@melsmedia it truly is my pleasure, thank you so much for your feedback! 🙏🏽💚
He is! Love all the information and his teaching style, Love it!
I am an educator, I love your visual demonstration using the blinds to help us
understand hair porosity, it was AWESOME👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!!!
I appreciate your knowledge of hair and your ability to accommodate various learning styles. Sir, you are a great teacher😍🤓💆🏽♀️💇🏽♀️👨🏽🏫
You are a focused and articulate teacher. You made this video fun and entertaining to watch. Plus, I learned so much about porosity. Thanks so much for the education. You rock!
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
@@GetGlamFam very informative, Thanks so much for the education 😀 I have a question- for low porosity, do I rinse Condioners and hair Mask with Warm or Cold water? I hope I didn't miss that in the video. THANKS FOR RESPONDING 👍🏾♥️
Thank you for being an educated voice on hair care. There’s a big difference between an expert, an influencer, and an educated influencer. I appreciate that you are the latter. The hair care community needs you.
So true, appreciate that you are giving real helpful advice.
This is hands down the best video explaining hair porosity that I have ever seen. Thank you so so so much. I gained an understanding that I hadn't achieved after watching so so so many videos.
Thanks so much! I’m so happy I could help! Thanks for watching!
@@GetGlamFam great great video! I think your the best in explaining about the different porsity of hair... Can I ask you a question please. My hair is afro hair but I have different textures running through my hair. When I use grease my hair looks thicker. But when I put gels it changes my hair texture as if I kinda of Had an texture why is that? I think my hair maybe low/medium porosity not sure. And I don't know if you've heard of a hair product called tweak if you have what do you think of that product. Thank you bless
*HEY GLAMBASSADORS!* If you are here early, this video goes live _THURSDAY at 12:00PM (Noon) CST._ We have A LOT to cover, so pack a lunch, bring a snack, and get ready to take notes! You know I love you boo! Linwood
This info was needed
I have been watching hair videos for awhile and never ran across yours. OMG where have you been? Amazing awesome and very much needed! Hell the best out of all the others. It is clear you are giving us the scientific educational information needed to properly care for our hair. Thank you and keep rocking it boo. Great job.
I always thought I was low porosity cause my hair don’t absorb hair products fast but I don’t really have build up that much I don’t think 🤔. I wish I could just show you my hair 😂
Porosity has always been the most confusing topic in the realm of natural hair. I got a hair analysis 3 years ago, and they told me that my hair was normal to high porosity. However, on the microscopic pics of my hair, my cuticles were closed tightly like low porosity hair. I’m gonna experiment with some of the tips you mentioned in this video and decide my porosity from there! Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching, and best of luck!
Where did you get this analysis. I'd love to get one
Naturally high porosity 😩😩😩 I haven’t done anything to my hair - no dye, no relaxer, no heat. Just god making me special
This is so cool. My mom is high porosity too.
I am too. 🤬
Me too! It’s not bad once you learn how to treat it!
I am 60 years old and decided to let my gray grow in. I have no Idea how to take care of my changing hair; it is a mess right now. I came upon your website and found it to be very informative. Thank you for this information. I will take baby steps from the information you have given. Thank you very much.
You are 100% correct about so much in this video! My low porosity hair HATES curl enhancing smoothie and now I know why!! Makes sense ❤
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on delivering information that can be easily understood! Great job 👏🏽
Thanks so very much! I appreciate you watching!
WHEN HE MOVED TO THE WINDOW 🤭👏 I had to sit down ❤️
#Namibian🇳🇦
So glad I 'found' you. I'm already obsessed. You are so informative and just plain awesome!!!
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
And so genuinely smart! Maybe that is not even a thing, but i like it & sticking with it!!!
@@elizabethb988 Genuinely smart isn't a thing?
God, he's great.( retired biology teacher here)
You’re such a masterful teacher. I love how you explain things and use analogies to get your point across. Bravo!
Woooooooow. THANK YOU
Hello gorgeous how are you doing?
Hand down, the best explanation of hair porosity. Thank you.
but he didn't say how to test hair porosity
@@roziek6830 take a strand of hair...out it in a cup/glass of water. If it sinks, it low porosity. If it floats, high P. Linwood, is that right?
Thank you for complimenting low porosity hair!!
Probably one of the many few YT videos I’ve watched to the end. This man deserves a clap. He came with his notes too 👏🏽👏🏽 thank you !
The demo with the blinds to describe the cuticle layer and the differences between low, medium, and high porosity was brilliant! And the use of body heat for high porosity hair when deep conditioning just saved me from buying a steam cap! It never occurred to me that since the cuticle scales (those are the things that open and close on the cuticle) are already open I don't need to blast it with outside heat, either wet or dry, to get moisture into the shaft. Also the explanation on using apple cider vinegar mixed with water gave me an "a ha" moment: now I know why my hair (high) feels so soft and smooth when rinsing with that concoction. I knew I loved your channel for a reason! I learn so much from watching.
The hairdresser I had from kindergarten until I was in my 20s always told me that my hair was “spongy”. I didn’t understand what she meant for years. Been relaxer free for 6 years. My porosity seems like it has stayed the same relaxed or not. My fine 3c/4a/4b hair loves deep conditioning. This has been sooooo helpful to me.
Please please please do a video about white/grey/silver hair. I'm 59 and my hair is in this category. I need guidance on how to get rid of the frizz, how to bump up the shine, how to tame down the coarseness. Thank you, you know I love you Boo, thanks Linwood
Grey has a tendency to be coarse or wiry, its part of it's composition. White hair tends to be much more delicate though. A hair steamer is an excellent way to get more moisture in, make sure that when styling you opt for low heat or no heat options, so you don't scorch the hair or cause it to yellow. Violet shampoos can help with removing mild yellowing, but not extreme cases.
So helpful, thank you!
Yes please! A little love for us silver foxes !
@@GetGlamFam: I hope you see this but I use mostly Shea Moisture and have neglected my hair😢 but I bought the shampoo & conditioner (Giovanni ) on your Amazon list. I want to know should I wait and try and get my hair more moisturized Before using the violet/purple shampoo on my mostly grey hair?
@@GetGlamFam what can be done with split ends? Most of my hair strands are split, should I just cut it all off and start again? This happens everytime I cut my hair and it grows out pass 6 inches 😞
you are being followed from the island of St. Lucia . i want to thank you for this video, I am trying to grow my hair and as a single man with no clue about my hair or anything. it's hard to get someone willing to assist me in my hair journey, unless they want your money more than they want you to grow your hair . so I have to do this all on my own but thanks to your world of information and realizum on such topics it has helped me 100%. keep the videos coming on more 4c hair please
I always knew I had low porosity hair and after watching your videos and testing my hair, I know now for a fact I do have low porosity hair. Everything that you have said in your video about my hair has proven to be true thank you so much for educating us and thank you so much for taking your time to post such a well thought out video.
Yaaaassssss!!!! That window blind explanation about porosity is life I’ll never forget how porosity works ever again...I will never have to Reference my text book ever again!!! ...And then he threw in bonus content with how to care for each type and product recommendations ... yes I’m welcome ...thank you!!
All this time I thought I was low porosity, but all you said abt high porosity matches my hair 😭
Thank you so much for this video! It has been so informative and eye opening, and I must agree you articulated clearly and I absolutely love the use of blinds to explain such a complex term for most of us. This clearly affirms that you’re an Educator. I’m an educator myself and I’m researching on porosity for my own CZcams channel
Yes, yes, yes! I needed this so much. After sick from covid, and dealing with low energy. I neglected my natural hair. My hair had grown over the years because I had a hair journey that paid off with bra strap length hair. But I neglected it for 3 weeks and the damage was extensive. The knots, and tangled hair was overwhelming. Your tips have given me hope to repair and restore the damage done. I actually was considering a Big Chop! Yet it took 3.5 years to grow my hair to this length. Thanks from 4C spiral! Keep up your educational videos 🥰
Thank you soo much for explaining why my hair instantly becomes a tangled mess! I had just started twisting my hair to wash it...game changer! Now I know why!
Thank you, this was the best breakdown on porosity that I've seen and the visual OMG. You're awesome💜🌹👍🏾
Best video I have ever watched on hair porosity.
I can’t believe how helpful this information has been! Thank you so much for giving your time and resources to help those of us who are REALLY attempting to understand our hair better and what it needs. THANKS SO MUCH!
your look in this video reminds me of my dad, it was nice to be reminded of him in such a positive way. Thank you for that. :)
Do you believe that a lot of naturals mistakenly believe they have low porosity hair due to product build up? I’ve gone back to regularly washing my hair with a Sulfate shampoo and I’m realizing that my hair is actually high porosity but because I had been using so much grease and oil, water had a difficult time penetrating my strands.
I believe it too ! Especially TGIN it causes too much buildup almost every product of theirs is heavy on silicones and thick oils it's too much . I think it's also responsible for people saying their hair is not curly ..
Are you in my head? Wow! After watching a quarter of the way through I'm sitting here thinking maybe I just have product build up and may not truly be low porosity 🤔
Yes but remember were supposed to clarify with a sulfate shampoo at least once per month. So if you use a sulfate free shampoo regularly you should be alternating it with a sulfate shampoo every other wash day or once per month at least.
I learned so much just 15 minutes into the video and one thing I stopped doing is using protein
I've been soooo blessed by the tips you shared for high porosity hair. Thank you so much Linwood!
Hello, beautiful people!
I am writing this comment a year after I watched this life-changing and eye-opening video, which literally changed my har (and life tbh). For years (I'm now 30) I have struggled with my hair journey, trying almost everything to make it grow strong, and nothing seemed to help. Until this video. I started hydrating my hair on a daily basis (just the lengths) with the LOC method and everybody says the results are amazing. No more dull, thin, frizzy, dry and depleted of life hair! I'm so so so happy that I came across this video! Thank you, GlamFam Hair & Beauty!
You are very knowledgeable and charismatic. You need a big stage.
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
My hair is naturally higher-porosity, but after all my chemical abuse... I think a sidewalk in July holds water longer. Friends oft' think I've coloured my hair when they see it wet, because it's about three shades darker than normal.
But I'm learning how to seal in the moisture better, all thanks to you. You are such an amazing teacher. Your actual students are so lucky to have you.
Thank you so very much! I am so grateful that you are learning from the videos! 😊🙏🏽❤️
Just started watching you and binged watched a lot of your videos. I love how thorough you are! I just want to get my hair done with you! :)
OMG, the best in depth description of hair. I needed this. Thank you, thank you, and thank you more. I'm 52 years old and finally can see how to care for my hair. I'm excited about getting into my natural hair care. Thank you so much.
Wow, you are a true educator. I will have to review this at least 5 times. Thank you.
You are such a great teacher and i love how your right to the point but still explain all that we need to know
Very informative. For the longest time I was confused about the level of porosity of my hair. You touched on the issues that I have been experiencing with my hair, and it made so much sense. Thanks🙏🏾!
Awesome! Thank you so much for truly empowering me with actionable information about my hair structure and type; so I can make informed choices about products and treatments while saving money by avoiding products that are not right for my particular hair type. You are solid Gold!
Linwood you are amazing! Literally THE BEST video on porosity! Thank you! 💞
Wow! I am so proud of you! I love it when I see young people so passionate about their craft!! Love your examples, love the way you explain, love the way you communicate!
I’m so glad I ran across your channel I have High Porosity Hair and you taught me something new about it with the blinds scenario that opened my eyes. Thank you and don’t stop posting. Love it
So glad I found you took me 1 min into the video to subscribe, thank you so much for your free guide too. Heaven sent 😭🙏🏾
It's so easy to watch you videos until the end. Always great information.
thank you for the break down ! i needed this! and i WILL stop beating myself up. i have low porosity hair and was convinced i wasn’t doing something right. i eat healthy, try to use good products on my hair and follow all your tips from wrapping my hair at night to finding the right products for my hair type. you have helped me grow my hair out so much my hair stylist is amazed when she trims my hair every 3 months.
Thank You so much for helping me understand what works better for my porosity type, and that people can be born with normal to high Porosity hair, and that high Porosity doesn’t always mean damaged hair. I learned a lot and am grateful for the all of the beneficial information that you shared with us.
Everything you touch basis on just confirmed what I've been doing for my High porosity and my daughter's Low porosity hair...TY!!!! Looks like I'm on the right track👍😍
Very clear, concise, and in-depth in explaining hair porosity. Great video.
You are such an amazing educator. I've learned so much about my hair because of you. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us via this platform
GlamFam took me to school! I love the blind explanation.This is the best explanation of porosity that I have ever seen!
The heck. This is the best video on hair that I've watch yet! Everything you've said just about explains my hair issues!
haha I love the example with the window, you have such great information in these videos!
Outstanding breakdown of low, normal/medium, & high porosity hair! I now understand which products, are best suited for my hair! Thank you!
Awesome video! Very thorough and relatable. Definitely appreciate the time you've put in to cultivate your craft. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, this will help so many!
You're absolutely are walking hair brilliancy! Thank you for teaching what's needed!
I swear I click that like button before I watch the video and I’m never disappointed that I did!!!
I’m so glad I found this video. I have high porosity hair and just been struggling with it. Taking notes and making a plan because I was ready to give up on my natural hair. Thank you ❤
My absolute pleasure! Thanks for watching!
By far THEE most informative video I've found. Thank you for breaking it down to the simplest form. I totally get it now!
Great teacher, great information and great delivery. Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise!
My hair is so highly porous that if I try to use heat for styling ( blow dryer/curling iron/flat iron) causes frizz as opposed to smoothing it. 🤣
Sir, your videos have been popping in my feed for years, and I’m just now really tuning in. This is great info, especially as I learn my daughter’s hair. and I agree with the sentiment that you’re a great teacher. 👏🏽🤩
Aww thank you so much! I’m glad that you decided to watch, and I hope that you enjoy the other videos on my channel, if you decide to check them out as well! Thanks for watching!
I’ve never sat through an entire video about hair until this. This was amazing...new subbie for sure!
I am starting my natural hair journey and there are so may videos out there that talk about what works best for that individual but this is THE MOST informative video I have seen out there. I am able to understand the difference between the levels of porosity so I can recognize when it may change depending what I’m doing to it...and most importantly how I can PROPERLY treat it in any state of porosity. THANK YOU!!!
Great information for high porosity and other porosities! Good to know that light butters are good for high porosity. Go Linwood!!!👍🏾
I'm a new subbie! I love your teaching style and I took notes for my high porosity hair 👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you. I've learned so much from watching your videos. It's not about just this product or that product or what you can do to get this to happen but actually knowledge on hair and why it is the way it is. Awesome. Bless you and your family. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! This was extremely helpful. Also, his voice is so soothing and easy to listen to! I think I'm hooked on this channel now.
I will definitely watch this again. Thank you for the information, I just subscribed.
THANK YOU for talking about medium porosity!!! It took me a long time to realize that I didn’t fit the extreme versions of high or low porosity. There are hardly any videos focused on medium so I thought I must be wrong. Please do more to educate people on medium since that is where most people are.
Omg yes thank you! Clear, concise and perfectly visualised. Need more videos like this for my ADHD brain!
The time and effort yiu took to create this video is appreciated so thank you. I had to return because I needed a refresher!
Thanks for this, Linwood! Going to my laptop now, to download your guide! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I'm learning so much from you!!! You're a great teacher!! 🤗💜
I love your rapid delivery! So much info in one sentence....I just love it💛🤙
This was so informative. Thank you, thank you! You are so professional while being so very easy to watch/listen to and wow...what gems you've dropped! I had to come back to this video and make a comment. Keep doing what you're doing.
This video was E X T R E M E L Y helpful and I'm about to download the guide NOW! I have been watching video after video on how to get my daughter's hair to retain moisture. I've spent so much money trying product after product, and you explained her hair to perfection (moisture today, dry tomorrow, the tangling,ect.) and now I know I've been a horrible natural hair mother 😆. Everything you said NOT to do to high porosity hair I've done to hers because I didn't know!😧
Hopefully now with this information I can help sis out, because she love love loves her curls, but I haven't let her wear them because I've been torturing to poor things 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you so much, and thank you from my daughter and her curls too. This video saved the life of many curls today. 😄❤
My baby hair is high porosity too..what product u use on your baby girl's hair...
Hi Linwood! Waiting for a video on scalp health, dealing with dandruff and scabs. That would be great!
Hi Elizabeth. I had a serious scalp issue and was using all kinds of medicated shampoos and scalp treatments. I had scabs around the hairline, especially at the front. I eventually moved from the area I was living and could no longer go to my usual, salon so I had to change salon. The first thing I noticed at this new salon was that these ladies never put their fingers into their products, they sanitized a lot...comb dropped on the floor and it was sanitized. Client leaves the chair its sanitized. Well 2 months after going there I had the most healthy scalp to this day...13 years later. I tell this story to everyone with scalp issues. Look into your environment to see if there is anything you can change.....unless its internal.
Try Aloe Vera plant. Also apple cider vinegar with water mixture. It helped my scalp
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a long time. Thank you so much for creating this content ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much! That was a great video. I've heard of porosity and how to treat it but never really understood what it was. I was still lost until you went to the shades. Great analogy! I finally also found someone to explain the other grading system. I'm a 3C, High porosity white girl. Most hairdressers I've ever dealt with had no idea how to treat my hair. All my life I've hated my hair. It's been just in the last few years I'm learning how to take care of it and love my curls. It only took 50 years. I subscribed. Looking forward to the rest of your videos and downloads. 🥰
First of all Linwood, I want to thank you for doing such a thoroughly video on hair porosity. Neither again will I watch another CZcamsr trying to explain this. I don't want to hear or see another water test to determine your hair porosity. This video is informative and educational of explaining this topic 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 .I wish another person try to do a video on this because they are surely going to get a thumbs down👎🏿.I have heard this from a licensed cosmetologist and teacher do I know better. I don't have to take information from an amateur anymore but I have a professional who knowswhat they are talking about. Thanks you again @❤
Thank you! Thank you 🙏🏽 I believe my hair is normal to high porosity based on the descriptions you gave. This will help me to be more consistent with the products I use instead of “hit or miss”. This is very informative and I thank God, in the name of Jesus for giving you the wisdom to be able to break this down so well. Stay blessed. 😘🥰🎁
OMG! Thank you so much for explaining so well this topic. You are obviously a professional who knows and understands black hair on a scientific level. THANK YOU!
Thank you for the hair guide. THIS IS HOW YOU TEACH!!!!! The blinds analogy was excellent and porosity is forever in my brain because of that image!!!!! Thank you.
Wow! This was some kinda class! Thank you I really appreciate it.
Thank you again for another lesson; so informative 👏 and excellent analogy with the blinds. It was my aha moment!
My pleasure! I’m so happy that it helped! 😊🙏🏽💚
THANK YOU so much for this smart and informative video!! I especially love the window blind demonstration! This was like going to hair care college! I look forward to watching more of your videos
