Being a natural is literally a whole career 😂
Yes it is and I have decided to go to a professional and get my relaxer back.
Tell me about it!! I just want to enjoy my hair...
@@cassandratiare1231 Protective styling can let you put your hair in cute styles and retain length at the same time, while also letting you have a break from your hair 😌
For real!!... I'm just watching all this CZcams videos watching about high porosity hair so that I can get the products and start being natural. Grow my hair out 😊
Yeeepppp
Length retention was my biggest challenge.... Not anymore! Henna has been a has been a game changer. Also, cold water rinses and Vaseline to seal my cuticles after I moisturize with aloe Vera to keep that moisture SEALED. Also, my hair loves protein!! Twists as protective stlye. My high po hair is waist length now and flourishing! On my way to hip length hair. Praise God! To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you! Lets turn to Him before it's too late!! He is the only way to Heaven!
Henna?
Amen.
@Eli Zee you have to use a super moisturizing conditioner and really moisturize well after you use henna.
Amen. Jesus is the only way. Please turn to Him before it’s too late. Thanks for the advice sis because my high porosity hair in a real struggle for me right now.
Amen 🙏 the only way, period
Thank you. I have always hated my hair. HIGH POROSITY. FINE and CURLY NATURAL HAIR. I am recently divorced, all of my children are gone and I care about myself. No more glue in my head. No wigs...wearing down my face.l am getting ready to cease coloring my hair and let the natural silver mane glow.Thank you for teaching me how to enhance my natural beauty that the good LORD has given me ❤
Excited for the self love journey you are on! Especially embracing your silver crown 👑 🦋
That sounds amazing! 🍀🙌🏻
I'm so glad to hear you are embracing your crowning glory. I had a similar journey for years
We see you mama 🙌🏽
Do you love 🤎
My hair is always so dry! I realized that my hair is high porosity but there aren’t many videos on it. Everyone on CZcams is low porosity. Thanks for the information sis!!! Hair grease is bomb!
I used to have the same issue coz honestly I was not paying attention, but now I put oil on my wet hair before I start blow drying with the Ionic blow dryer. It helps because I get to apply less heat when blow drying but your hair is not dry compared to when I used to dry the hair and apply oil after.
@@vanniah1
That makes sense if it’s sealing the moisture in by coating the hair with oil
So quick question
Do you add oil to wet hair and blow dry
Or let the hair air dry till it’s damp and then put the hair oil?
@@bperez8656 I do my oil while it's wet, then blow dry. When I wait till it dries it becomes brittle or tangled especially if I do the herbal hair mask. But though it's alil messy coz of the oil, my hair has stopped breaking so much. I use a plush headband to make sure the oil doesn't drip to my eyes 😁. Try it and see if it works for your hair.
Same my hair is dry 24/7 so tired of looking for things to make it moisturized ☹️😒
@Rose Simeus How do you incorporate grease into your wash day hair routine?
Would you please do a video on best products on the market for high porosity hair ?
This is exactly what I was trying to understand about my hair. Thank you!
My notes:
- Hot oil treatments
- Cationic charge conditioners
- Sealants: jojoba, sweet almond oil, grapeseed (for fine hair)
- Apple cider vinegar rinses
What if I have high density and fine strands
@@mojunaid8568 I think the same applies
How do I know what those ingredients are...? The cationic charge ingredients.
@@cammieklund listed in the description box
@@shadowlily2714 Thanks!🌞🌺
Girl, high porosity hair can be such a struggle... I feel like when a lot of people attribute their breaking/frizzy/dry/unmanageable hair to their curl type, they should really be attributing it to their porosity. I've been natural for 8 years and I didn't realize that I was high porosity until last year. One thing that has been a LIFESAVER for my hair is manually squeezing out my deep conditioners and rinsing with a mix of ice-cold water + aloe vera juice + apple cider vinegar. It makes my hair shiny (which you know, high porosity never really is) dark and strong!
Do you do that every week or every other?
Interesting, when I used cold water to rinse my conditioner I have realized my hair holds more moisture and have shine... lately I’ve been rinsing with warm water since I do my wash n go in the shower, but I’m realizing that’s not going to work... tired of my hair looking dry and frizzy !
@@sakariyasmine4014 Wash and go's are the worst style for high porosity. My trichologists stay that when you twist, finger coil or French braid the hair, it holds more moisture. I've never seen my trichologists in a wash and go. It's finger coils, French roll or 2 French braids. And they have type 3 hair which isn't as dry as type 4!
I have high porosity, medium density, fine, type 4a hair. It’s very frizzy. It’s not a fan of clumping. I do wash and goes all the time with great success. My tricks are that I cannot do them in the shower. Not only does the hot water and steam create an issue with the frizz in the hair and keep it clumping ...but also with high porosity hair, if the hair shaft is full of water it cannot be full of product. The water will quickly evaporate and the products will never have penetrated or adhered to the shaft. To keep my wash and go defined and moisturized, I need my hair to be full of aloe vera gel, leave in conditioner and glycerin (not water). Then I put a very thick layer of flaxseed gel and castor oil on top. I let my hair dry while it’s banded in a few ponytails so that helps to keep more moisture in and helps me stretch my hair without having to manipulate it under a dryer or something. I also Finger coil the frizzier sections to help them stay defined and clumped and that helps to maintain moisture in those areas better.
It's funny because my hair is the same way but cold water doesn't give me slip
The worst thing for me with high porosity hair was constantly having dry hair and tangles. My hair is so thick so the tangles would literally make me cry because I was so frustrated. I’m glad I’m starting to learn my porosity! I’m so glad you didn’t bash grease! These new age naturals out here be forgetting what used to work when we were young. What isn’t broke shouldn’t be fixed.
What is your take on the Aztec clay mask??
I literally struggle with the same problem my hair is thick and gets so dry and tangled do you have anything that helped you
Any youtube recommendations
Deep conditioning, sealing with heavy butter and washing every week has helped and now, I'm fluctuating between medium and high porosity.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing!
If I may ask what are the names of the products you use?
@@bebrezzy1744 presently, I use Ors mayonnaise (as balancing conditioner), Aussie (for moisture but I'm changing it soon) and Aphogee Two-step (Protein treatment).
I use Keracare Natural Texture Buttercream as my heavy butter, Keracare Curl Essence Leave-In and that's all.
I have coarse, high-density type 4c-z hair.
@@uberhaute_naturalz84 thanks so much, I have been using head and shoulders for me and my daughter's dry scalp but I just figured out she has high porosity I have low so I'm just trying to do better
@@bebrezzy1744 if I may, it's better to invest in a pro salon products and products that have film-forming humectants in abundance.
I have high porosity hair. The thing that has helped me the most is the ritual of pre-pooing. My biggest challenge is tangly and rough ends.
Can I just say that going back to grease has been a game changer for my high porosity hair!!
Woo woo! 😆
In what step do you use it?
Me too 😂🤣🤣
I have found that sealing my naturally high porosity hair with silicones are very helpful for detangling and keeping the moisture in longer. I used to stay away from it but I realized that I was following low porosity CZcamsrs advice.
This makes sense
I’m not high porosity but I had to support my girl. 👍🏾
Thank you! :-)
No one else is giving such detailed information about high porosity hair! My hair grows out of my scalp high porosity. Something I never knew was a thing. So this is super helpful.
Check out Green Beauty, she gives out additional information. You will learn plenty about your hair. I found the channel and so happy I did. She has helped me quite a bit.
My hair seems to go out of my scalp high porous as well. Thought it was really weird
I have naturally high porosity hair. Ive been natural most of my childhood and the past 10 yrs of my adult life. I started using aloe gel and juice to seal my hair after wash... its been a game changer! Also castor oil which i started using religiously back when i first started transitioning ages ago. It smooths the cuticle and adds good weight because i have fine strands. The best gel ever invented (by nature or humans) is flax seed gel! It seal, holds and conditions like no other! I used to use silicones alot when i was relaxed and transitioning. I listened to all the natural hair trends and stayed away from them for many years but i just started incorporating them back slowly. I see some improvement in frizz but its too early in my experiments to really say what i think yet.
So you don’t use any silicone in your products?? I’m new to this journey ! Mine is high porosity hair as well 😌
Hi. So can you explain how you use aloe exactly? Do you leave it in?? Thanks
Finally! I thought it was just me. whenever i see a vid on high porous hair, they always say it's coz it's damaged from this and that but most of those things have nothing to do with my hair. I have high porous hair, i don't have a damaged hair whatsoever, as long as I can remember my hair has always been that way. Not all high porous hair is as a result of damage, nature plays a role as well.
Hi so in what order do you apply the aloe, flaxseed and castor oil?
CASTOR & AVOCADO OILS ARE MY GO TO DUO.
I have medium to high porosity hair and my biggest challenge is retaining moisture and what has helped me the most was learning to balance my moisture/protein level with deep conditioners that contain both moisture and protein
moisturizing my hair then applying grease has been a game-changer for me in retaining moisture for like a full week
My biggest issue right now is finding a protein/moisture balance.
Exactly my hair hates protein which is weird !?
@@princessaluchi8924 does it need protein? Does it break off easily?
I cant do too much protein. I was trying to do rice water bi weekly and my hair was like nope. Protein overload my hair felt brittle af.
@@sakizaky9270 Same here
I've noticed that protein treatment every other week and deep conditioning EVERY WEEK is a great balance. If it gets limp, you need protein.
I have had a a very tough time with my high porosity hair lasting and looking good past the first day, until I found out my hair doesn't like glycerin thanks to youtuber MelissaQ. It's tough enough having high porosity hair and now adding to it is glycerin which is in almost every product. I have spent soo much money hair products that don't work. Urgh. sigh. Glycerin sucks all the moisture out of my hair, no matter the season, and no matter where it falls in the ingredient list. It leaves my hair frizzy, limp, dry and matte. Since I eliminated glycerin my hair has been doing much better; still a work in progress. It's very hard to find glycerin free products.I have been using only Camille Rose leave in and moisturizers and uncle funky's daughter curl stimulator. These have saved my life. Thank you for this video!! Always helpful to learn some more through you and the comment section too :)
Samee!!! In my case glycerin draws moisture from the air and over moisturizes my hair big time.
Thanks for this comment. I’m so confused. My hair dryer than a desert. Ive’ been trying all kinds of things. I found that it stays the most moist when I use Palmers Curl Creme and a bit of Pure Glycerine. I was shocked! It never occurred to me. I do believe my hair is HPH tho. It can take in moisture but it drys quickly and absolutely will not maintain moisture no matter what kind of conditioners (and I own a small fortune of them) I use. I resorted to using the Gylcerine as a desperate measure and am shook that works. I live in CA so there is very little moisture in the air which might be why it doesn’’t over moisturize my hair. Thanks for the comment- I feel like I’m on a detective hunt for the right combination on the hair of mine.
I was born with high porosity hair and my hair grew so long as a child and even now. The heavy butter I use is ghee and it works wonders. I had to go back to my roots and understand why my hair was always different from my friends but thanks you made me understand the porosity issues and I'm not confused anymore❤️
You’re so welcome!! 💜
I have high porosity hair and so do my daughters,....thank you for this video and explaining everything in depth. Love your channel!
The biggest challenge is moisture retention. I get so discouraged watching naturals on youtube who are mostly low porosity saying they can go a week without refreshing and I feel like I have to refresh and remoisturize my hair every 2-3 days
One thing that has helped with breakage has been prepooing. I used to dread wash days because by that time my hair was so dry and going in with a shampoo just dried it even more and broke all my hair off but prepoo has saved my hair
Yes yes yes to everything you said!! What do you like prepooing with?
My hair loves coconut oil so I divide it into 4 sections and coat it thoroughly with the oil and twist them away. Then I sleep with them overnight. If I dont have coconut oil or I feel lazy I just use an old conditioner, whatever is lying around
@@user-wh5ox2go4q thanks so much!
Thanks for all your help!!! I've been trying to find out how to help my high porosity hair. Thanks for all the good information!! I will start this regimen ASAP!!
THANK YOU!!!! This is what I have been looking for. I appreciate you putting information out on high porosity hair that is educational and informative. There are only a few that talk about it, compared to low porosity. Keep it coming
I wish there was more scientific research on HPH especially natural we need products and hair care regimens that actually work for us
The ORS Moisturizer is really good for my high porosity hair
Don't use Cantu it doesn't work! I realized coconut oil then a butter then hair gel or syrum really helps me a lot.
@@elishivasharitye3764The Cantu curl activator ruined my hair... It has glycerin and I live in a hot humid weather. It over moisturized my hair to the point of breakage
@@SaraHinata I find that HPH hates glycerin.
I used to do this all of the time, but sealing in with jbco and olive oil is so amazing. It made my hair grow, I didn’t have tangles, my hair felt soft and shiny, it helped with dry ends. I used to do wash and gos with vo5 conditioner ( only the fruity and tea ones ) and seal it with that oil. My hair was growing and was so moisturized.
Great information for me with high porosity hair! You explained it so well!
I just realized after all of these years of being natural that I have high porosity hair. I've been spraying equal parts cold aloe vera and water on my hair, directly after rinsing out my deep conditioner in cool water, then immediately sealing with an oil in the shower. I also apply my leave in, in the shower as well.
This has helped to shock and smooth my cuticle so much, which helps to retain moisture in my hair longer. I also seal after utilizing my styling product as a final seal with a diy ayurvedic butter. I've learned that layers are key. The more layers, the more time that it takes for the moisture to evaporate. So basically do the LOCSB. Leave in aloe vera spray and water, oil, cream leave in, styler, and seal with butter. I only have to re moisturize my hair once during the week now.
I also don't utilize products with humectants high on the ingredient list during the summer time. They're great for the fall winter or colder climates, but if you live in a humid climate like I do, it can lead to extreme frizz. I don't mind a little bit of frizz, but not a birds nest, lol.
Thank you…that is helpful advice to know how to bring all these products together for wash day
My daughter has high porosity and lately using silicone has helped her but we use it sparingly
Thank you for sharing!! ☺️
Silicones work for well for me too.
Silicon in leave ins does wonders for my hair and I am low porosity and protein sensetive
Thanks for this! Realized recently that I have Lopo hair after 12 years being natural. The last few years my hair has gotten finer and stagnates at my current length. I’ve tried many things, mini twists, braids, wigs... but nothing worked. My biggest problem is single knot twists. I can’t wash and go, that’s a disaster, and retaining moisture more than a day seems impossible. Plus I’ve noticed a small patch of my hair has fallen out at the crown (it’s thankfully growing back).
I’ve been doing hot oil treatments and pre-poos the last 4 or so months and my hair has gotten a bit stronger. What’s helped is washing about every 10-14 days, not spraying too much water (or any at all) when I remoisturize between washes (going straight to leave ins and sealants is better) and more importantly, leaving it alone! I try to do 1 or 2 styles only between washes, usually a pinned up style or a bun. Sucks because I wanna play with my hair more but I need to focus on health now. 🤷🏿♀️
What type of hair grease do you recommend?
@@anne-marieagbodji5028 I don't use hair grease I just use regular castor oil and Jerry Curl juice to re moisturise my hair. I have to find a good styler for my was and go's. I want to try the less is more approach since cutting it off this year.
Best porosity hair explanation I’ve come across so far. Thank you!
I love the fact that you are straight to the point. I have recently discovered your channel and my brain is soaking up the knowledge. A lot of the methods you recommend I have used in the past and stopped for one reason or another. Time to circle back to what actually worked.
Thank you for clearing up the difference between high and low porosity hair. I have high porosity hair but was taught it was low porosity. No wonder my hair is sad!
Great video. I literally stumbled on how to care for my high porosity hair. Once I wash my hair, no more water after that. My hair needs to be 90% dry before I add a moisturiser followed by an oil. I literally have to moisturize daily otherwise I'm in trouble. It's starting to pick up a little now but I couldn't understand why my hair was so dry and breaking. Thing is so many natural hair CZcamsrs literally advocate using water to spritz on your hair but it's not beneficial to everyone. I stopped following people who could no longer provide me with scientific information and changed their products weekly lol. Anyway, I'm on a detox journey so I'm hoping that will have a huge impact on the quality and quantity of my hair.
Miss Nettie, I'm paddling the same boat. My hair has to be dry before adding anything to it. It "rebels and repels" if there is a hint of water in it before adding a cream or oil. Took over 50 years to figure this out... Still working on finding the right kind of products tho... I thoroughly enjoyed your comment...
Omg I thought I was crazy because I kept on feeling like my hair hated water! I thought it can't be true because every naturalista says that water is essential and we should spritz it all the time but i always feel like with water in my hair i can't style it properly. Thanks for showing me that im not the only one
Same
Woa!!! I have to try this!!!
I totally agree. I live in the Caribbean which is high humidity. I don't spray my high porosity 4c hair with water anymore. I just use the grease, maybe because there's water in the air in the first place! I try to stay away from products with glycerin.
When I see one of my FAVORITE CZcamsR and FAVORITE COSMETIC CHEMIST post about HIGH POROSITY (Specifically about my hair type) A SISTA GET VERY EXCITED 😊 Helping Me Understand It All!!!!! ♥️
I thought it was just when I was relaxed, getting highlights, but now I literally have a new head of hair and I am still high-porosity 🤦🏽♀️
What has helped the most: ACV rinses, protein treatments, and hardly ever doing wash n’ go (the worst style to do on high-porosity).
Biggest Challenge: Controlling my frizz 😢 it is a beast to tame!!
What would be some examples of Cationic Charge conditioners? Brand? Or specific ingredients to look for?
Yes, Nicole. I prefer her recommending some brands that contain those "C" ingredients too. We'd figured out from there which brand out of the group our hair responds well to. This way she wouldn't necessarily be endorsing, but just listing.
I created a video recently on holy grail products I enjoy. I have a few there. :-)
My hair grows out high porosity but my ends become a medium porosity. My hair loves wash and gos. I trained my hair with wash and gos and twist outs. My new growth doesn’t get as frizzy.
@@shaniathemen May I ask what your curl pattern is?
This video has provided a wealth of information. The sealant has been the most important information I received from the internet. Thank you for sharing.
I so appreciate the simplicity of your videos. Hot oil treatments are everything! I love the explanation of cationic ingredients. That is something I will incorporate. My issue with my hair maybe more because it’s fine than being high porosity. I have alot of single strand knots. Thanks for all you do!😊🦋
LOC method helped my hair become so much more healthy. Loved this video and the way you included the scientific breakdown of things 💕💕
Thanks for all the wonderful info, you've helped me so much!!! I realized my hair loooves BTMS. Pls keep the high porosity videos coming
man this helped me so much in understanding why my hair acts the way it does 🤣 I've struggled for years to where I didn't know what else to do - then I learn the actual type of my hair and it makes so much sense now. Thank you for this video!
Where have you been all my life? Finally I understand what’s what. Thank you 🙌🏻
My hair has taken a turn and I had no clue I had high porosity until I went to a new stylist with an SOS. I will definitely incorporate this advice.
I have natural high porosity hair, with fine strands and medium to high density. I struggle with tangling and webbing.
Yes! The webbing is the worst!!!
*sigh* what a refreshing spring of knowledge! Thank you sis!
Thank you so much - you are a breath of fresh air. INSIGHTFUL
You've helped me so much. I am going back to using silicones, not too much, and I now use the right oils in the right step of my regime
This information was so needed. Thank you for this great video.
Glad i found this!! Been droppin my hair in water and getting different results!! Thanks for explaining!!
Thank you for this video, I'm a Father trying to understand this stuff to help my baby girl, so I really appreciate this video 🙏🏾
Cold rinse after washing! I am so happy I started doing this. I actually tend to steam my hair once every 2-3 months when I’m ready for that really deep conditioning and I can keep a mask on my head all day
The LOC method works great for my high porosity hair.
Your channel is amazing. It is so rich and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Henna, alma, loc method, protective styling and right products have helped my fine, high porosity hair. Also prepping with coconut oil and deep conditioning weekly and not using heat.
Weekly hot oil treatments have definitely helped transition my hair from high porosity to low porosity. Thank you for making this video b/c I didn’t understand what caused my hair to transition lol smh🙏🏾
What did u use for your hot oil treatments at home
Thanks for the tips. I have very fine, high porosity, 4C hair which I feel like it's the worst combination but learning to love it. I moisturize every single day and it's still always dry and and tangles easily. Now I'm gonna check to see if the ingredients you mentioned are in my products.
Had to revisit this video to thank you! This video taught me that I had high porosity hair.. the whole time I thought I was low po. My biggest game changers, pre-pooing, ACV rinses, grease! Minimized my breakage
Hallelujah!! You have no idea how this video BLESSED Meeeee! Geeeezzzz F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!!! thank you sooo much for addressing this long-standing agonizing condition sis!!! A solution and Answer whatttt!!!!
I have been on my natural hair journey for five years trying to figure out why my hair is always dry. I definitely have high porosity hair. I have noticed a significant increase in my curls moisture level when I stopped using harsh shampoos and switched to co-washing with conditioner. I also grew a habit of styling my hair while wet with a thick moisturizing conditioner or hair masque. It works for me! Great video! I wish I would have found great information on high porosity hair about five years ago lol. My ride or die fav product when the knots, frizz, and tangles try me ☝🏼Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner (I said what I said lol, it works for me)
Thank you for this video. It was so helpful. Researching my ingredients now to be sure ther's no sodium laural sulfates...and Ihave had a love hate relationship with hair grease because of all the taboos that came with it, but it has always worked for my hair! I don't need large amounts and I wash it often enough so that I don't have build up. I have noticed that prepooing for me with oils and or conditioner mixed has really has been a game changer.
Always dry and hard to detangles, But now I learn so much from you it getting much better, thanks
Thank you for this information. Only wished you'd given examples of products to go along with it, like you did in other videos. That never gets old.
Aha! Now I know why I love a conditioner in which the top ingredient is behentrimonium methosulfate. Your videos are terrific. My hair is dyed and high porosity, 2b/3a. Thank you!!!
VERY helpful video.
I appreciate you so so sooo much!💗💕
I just want to take a moment and say a big *THANK YOU* to the helpful people in the comment section who are adding more and more hair care tips for everybody!! 💜💜
You're a bunch of lifesavers every single one of you, and you're all absolutely gorgeous! 😮💕
Thank you for all your suggestions!! Exactly what I was looking for 🥰
Thank you! Been getting more into taking care of my hair (360 waves) and skin, so this is very helpful!
Super informative video😄! Learned so much about my hair🤗! Thanks for sharing ❤️!
Thanks so much for the video 😭🙏🏼. My hair is a 2c hair type and I recently bleached my hair to a level 9 shade and I think the most challenging thing would be that a lot of my curl has “died” and just falls flat when I get out of the shower but I find using a nourishing leave-in conditioner and sleeping with a silk or satin bonnet has really helped them spring back into place.
High porosity hair chick from Australia. My hair seems to love coconut oil. That is my last step on wash day. I tried a JBCO and rosemary oil treatment last night and left it on overnight and my doesn’t feel as brittle today 🤗. Love your channel. 🙏🇦🇺🥰
Love this video. I am high porosity 3c4a. I always have people complimenting my hair, even stylists saying they would die for my hair texture/curl pattern and I should be waist length lol. I cannot get past collar bone area . I’m the most discouraged and lazy natural because I just don’t know where to begin. My sisters with 4c hair are waist length because they have mastered their hair type. Thanks for sharing this definitely helped
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did... had to subscribe after watching this video. I'm always telling people that hair grease and hair butters are favs because I have high porosity and they just don't understand
Aunt Jackie's Knot on My Watch Instant Detangling Therapy has been a holy grail for me to detangle my hair, especially while styling, to prevent breakage from tangles at the root. I use it on my scalp to gently detangle the hair from root to tip
Thank you so much in sharing all your knowledge with me, it helps a lot.
OH NO THAT IS MY HAIR YOU DESCRIBED. IT BRAKES DRY AND ITCHY AND FRZZY DOES NOT GROW MUCH. I JUST FOUND YOU TODAY. WHAT A BLESSING. THX
I have naturally high porosity hair and what helps me the best is ACV Rinses, Clay washes, Co- washing, adding more oils to my deep conditioners, frequent protein treatments to help strengthen my strands, sealing with oil and doing a mid-week moisture and sealing routine. My biggest problem with my high porosity hair is retaining length especially when my hair gets to shoulder length or longer so I have to trim more often to help prevent split ends.
I'm still not sure of my porosity, but I've been doing protein treatments and I'm seeing big improvements💚
This was very informative and easy to understand! I'm finna be reading the backs of my hair products right now!
Thank you sooo very much!!! Now I understand why my hair is constantly THIRSTY; High Porosity! Peace, Love, and Blessings❣
Thank you for your content. ALWAYS informative
Thank you sista for all this beautiful information🙏🏽🥰 have a bless weekend
Thank you Marie! ☺️
Very informative! I needed this. Love love love it!
Words of wisdom! Very helpful. Thanks, Curly Chem! ❤🎉
I needed this. My hair has put me through the wringer. In the past 2 years I stopped regaining length. I I’ve dying my hair, and I’ve increased my protein treatments. I’ve also been avoiding products that my hair sweat. Some leaveins and gels make my hair instantly become dry l haven’t been identify why but I look for products that are thick and sticky. And grease is bae
I really love this video, I have thin high porosity hair and I’ve found prepoos and aloe Vera to be very instrumental in my regime it’s also very necessary for me to re-moisturize twice weekly. I talk about this on my channel a lot
Girlfriend 🤗i learned patience with my curly hair....i pray over my hair and i see aloe, blackseed and fenugreek works wonders to my 4b hair. I love your video boo😁everything organic is helpful
Just learn that I have high porosity hair ... never knew all this time now I’m seeing changes ❤️🤗
Thank you for the info . I like the scientific explanation . Could you make a video about single knot hair strands . I have a lot of them and I don’t know what to do to prevent them
I have high porosity hair and one of my biggest issues (living in the swamp that is) is humidity. The humidity shrinks up my hair takes all the moisture out and at the end of the day it feels as if I had put no product in it. Then I need to repeat my wash and go the next day.
This video cued me into probably one of my biggest issues which is not including a sealant at the end of my wash and go. Thank so much for the help !! Very informative
Thanks so much for your channel and this video. Like one of the other comments, I've been natural a long time, but just recently found out that I have high po hair. But that knowledge answered a lot of questions I had about my hair. My biggest issue has been maintaining moisture, so I've been experimenting. And even though I have fine strands, I might try hair grease again. Just need a better understanding of when it should be applied during styling. Thanks again for all the ingredient details.
This is great, easy to understand info. Keravada has helped decrease breakage while living in a super dry climate. Also, decreasing sugar intake has decreased shedding.
I love your suggestion and explanation of why doing hot oil treatments are important for high porosity hair. I started doing them this year and it has really helped with length retention. Having high po hair, my biggest struggles are dryness and breakage. I have to stay on top of my routine to manage that and even still it can be an issue.
With hot oil treatments, doesn't the shampoo get rid of all the oil?? How do you do yours?!!
My high porosity hair is always dry and tangling. Water resets it nicely but I need to get back to all of my oils. I was so good when I first transitioned but it's all gone to the wayside and it shows.
My hair cream has change the game for me. Locking in that moisture with it has been so beneficial in my hair journey
Prepooing and finger detangling helped me the most.
Thanks for the video! You're giving some great tips here. Im a naturally HP type 4 girl and my hair is strong, healthy, thick and flourishing as a natural. Even when my hair was relaxed it was doing the same and was midback length. It's stronger now though of course. My biggest problem is probably folks always acting like HP hair is the worst most damaged thing ever just b/c it's HP lol. It's not, and is just as natural for some of us like LP hair is for most. My advice to others is just find your regimin and products that work for you and stick to it. That may mean you toss out things that work for lots of LP girls or everyone swears by. Things that don't work for me that lots of people love: aloe Vera juice or pure aloe gel, coconut anything (throw the whole coconut away as far as I'm concerened), apple cider vinegar (dries my hair out and lead to my relaxed hair breaking and eventually falling out of my scalp like a waterfall thus leading to my big chop. I've only used it once since being natural to correct protein overload I accidentally caused. I undstand how it works for my hair now and didn't know it then. Definitely a hard lesson on why not to jump on hair trends/products/ingredients that I don't understand, which is why I love this channel! Tips that work for me: I prepoo the night before wash day with water or the As I am JBCO water, and JBCO. Can even add a little leave-in if you want. I like melanin hair care's. It's basically like the hot oil treatment mentioned, just before you wash. Get a shampoo that cleans while softening and a good conditioner. I like purology hydrate as my hair is now colored but use it on friends who are not and it's still great. I deep condition with heat everytime I wash even though that's another thing people say don't do ( w/ a steamer or hothead cap). I wash every 8 to 14 days max. I like TGIN honey miracle mask for DC and if it's 2 wks since my last wash and my hair was dry before the pre-poo like from a wash n go, I mix in a small amount of The Ronnie Shop's conditioner as that has some protein in it. I DC with a protein conditioner properly once a month, either Ronnie's or Nairobi Humecta-Sil. And do a serious protein treatment every 3-4 months (Aphogee 2 step). I LCO or LOC depending, on soaking wet hair while still in the shower before styling and leave a shower cap on until I style. And lastly I use a different oil for my scalp than I do for my hair, depending. That's a whole lot or info and products but hope it helps someone else. I'm now two years post big chop. My hair has grown from less than a quarter inch in the back to the middle of my shoulder blades and is healthy and thick. Not the most growth ever but I'm happy with it. Find what works for your HP hair and stick to it and your hair will flourish. Good luck!
My daughter has high porosity hair and her hair absolutely loves hair grease. I can tell when I use my hair product on her versus hair grease. It responds so much better and it more manageable. Now I know why
I just found out today by my new natural hairstylist that I have high porosity hair. It makes sense why I’ve been experiencing so much breakage, as I wasn’t equipped with all the knowledge on products that I should be using to care for it. I have very thick and extremely high porosity hair, it sunk to the body of the water immediately. This video was even more helpful. Thank you! I feel so much better.
Henna and ayurvedic treatments have been the most helpful to me.
Cowash often like 3 times a week helps; using damage repair conditioners helps fills my gaps, and trimming more often. Heat isn’t so bad on hipo hair when it’s deeply moisturized so blowout once a month with a light cream helps retain moisture. I also dust my ends in this state.
What cream do you recommend for a blowout?
Sealing with Shea Butter has helped me the most.
Single. Strand. Knots. and moisture retention. Definitely will check for cationic ingredients!
My biggest problem is tangled hair. Breakage. Dryness. You name it. Thanks I really appreciate your advice. Keep it coming. I love your honesty. Keep up the good work. You are so encouraging.
