    Low porosity... I have to soak my hair just for it to be damp.. and when it dries lord help us all. While to the touch it’s soft it looks like simbas main 😩😩😩😩😩🤦🏽‍♀️

      I've found that deep conditioning with a hooded dryer and applying a leave in in the shower has worked wonders for opening up the cuticles and allowing the moisture in. Hopefully this helps cause I know the low porosity struggle!

      My hair too. Just skates on top of that water. Engen pays off the curl age above the water. Completely unmanageable when it's dry and looks like it literally mushrooms out of my head when it's naturally down. Any ideas on how to elongate and define the curls when it's down and if I should leave conditioner in it when I go to flat iron it

    Thanks for sharing this information. Eight months ago I decided after my hair falling out to go natural and it's been challenging. After doing the test, my results were low porosity. Which explains a lot and why it so hard to keep my hair moisturized. It's soft in the back, wavy in the front and motherland at the top.

    My hair horror story: 😔😢
    My parents have completely different hair than me (my dad's texture is closest + he's actually good at braiding so he always did my hair when I was younger) Looking back, I realize that my hair was never treated properly. I never used the right products or brushed my hair properly. *yikes* Basically, I was doing everything wrong. My hair was pretty long though, so my dad decided to trim it. Spoiler Alert: my hair hasn't grown since (it's been about 4 years) I've recently gotten into doing my own hair and realized how bad my situation is. Let's just say, I have split ends FOR DAYS. Anyway, I'm considering a big chop, but would rather try to save what's there. Thx for making this video, it really helps a sister out 🥰 stay safe ❤️

  • @kimberleyelliott8242

    I've just tested and have very low porosity. I will start using milks. I'm also in the UK and I'm not sure if the weather ie. cold and rainy, affects the choice of products I should use. I stayed a week in the Caribbean last year and used a blend of natural oils on my hair for the duration. They really took well and my hair was soft and very healthy. When I returned to use them in the UK, it left my hair stiff and I felt it clogged my hair even more!

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey Kim! I’d say the weather definitely has something to do with it. I’m not sure, but the Caribbean may have been more of a dry heat (less humid) and back home in the UK’s the rain made the humidity more intense. Since you know those oils don’t fair well there, I’d steer away from them. When you start looking into hair milks, be sure to research the products ph level, you’ll want a ph level around 6.5 because this will cause the cuticles of our low porosity hair to open up and receive moisture. You can Google Ph level of any product. Personally I skip oils all together (except for when I deep condition) because they just sit on top of my hair and leaves it extremely oily. If nothing else, seal in that hair milk with a cream such as shae butter or any other water based cream of your choice. Hope this helps! 💕

    I'm 55 yrs old with hair that doesn't wanna curl...except, when wet I get a little wavy/curl and then when it dries it's STRAIGHT! I guess from years of relaxers...which everyone tells me I never needed. Anywhoo...I did the test tonight and it would seem, I am Low Porosity. I even hanked hair from different parts of my head (front, middle, and back). I have like 2B/2C texture. My hair sucks. :(

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      How long has it been since your last relaxer? If you’ve haven’t been getting it trimmed or didn’t cut off the relaxed hair, then that may be why your hair is drying straight. Of course it could also just be that that’s your hair texture, but if you had curls before getting a relaxer it’s likely that you’d still have them. Also, if you discover that you still have relaxed ends, I’d advise doing the rest again once you’ve cut the relaxed hair since processing your hair in any way can affect its porosity. Hope this helps! 😊

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Trisha! Was your hair completely free of product? In order for it to sink, it would have had to have been flooded with water, but to float would mean no water would have entered your cuticles, so the order of those occurrences sounds like there may have been an interference in the test. Be sure to gently lay the strand on top of the water and leave it completely undisturbed for the duration of the test. Hope this helps! 😊

    My hair levitates but it wasn’t completely on the surface it was just under the surface and when it was pressed, it started to sink but one end of the strand was at the bottom and the other was at the top. I tried it a second time and all of it was just resting on the surface of the water no barrier of the water was broken but when I pressed it sunk to the bottom slowly. I know it’s not part of the test but I was just curious....so I guess I’M LOW POROSITY!

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The big thing you’ll want to do being low porosity is using heat when you deep condition. You’ll have to experiment with different products because everyone’s hair is different. Our hairs cuticles tend to be tightly closed so using heat will open them and allow moisture in. Once the moisture is in our hair is pretty good at closing it’s cuticles and locking that in that moisture. You can open your cuticles by either wearing a plastic cap or using diffused heat like a hooded dryer, or a hair steamer. Wear a plastic cap while under the dryer as well. Hope this helps!

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I seem to fit the low Porosity. For men, we usually don't do the "heat thing" when it comes to hair care, but I do find that using a "hair milk" product when my hair is damp works ok. Is there another step I should do or keep my current regiment? Great vid!

      @GEMNaturals  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey love, you’ll want to gently place it on top on the water. Dunking it will likely interfere with your results. Hope this helps!

      No, you can take a shed hair or one that comes out when you wash or detangle. Just make sure it’s hair that doesn’t have any product on it and hair that is completely natural.

    Low porosity.... So what product do I use?

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You’ll need products that will help open your cuticles
      These products should have a higher ph or be considered as alkaline. You can do a google search on which products have a higher ph. Your deep conditioners ph isn’t a huge deal but be sure to either sit under a hooded dryer or place a shower cap on your head while you deep condition. The heat will cause your cuticles to open up regardless during the process especially if it’s applied in the shower. Granted if you like the deep conditioner you’re already using you can stick with that. A handheld or hooded steamer can also be your best friend. It’ll be clutch when you want to refresh your curls during the week. Just keep in mind most products wont penetrate your strands unless they are alkaline( higher ph) or you apply diffused heat. Hope this helps!

      You can, but it’s likely that your porosity will be the same throughout your hair regardless of the texture.

      You are low porosity. Being low porosity just means it takes a little longer for your hair to absorb the moisture.

    Does your hair texture determine whether you’re a high, norm, or low porosity? Bc I have 3 different hair textures, and I don’t know which one to do :/

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, hair texture doesn’t determine porosity, but try and test a strand from each texture and see if they all give you same result.

    How do you use heat while you deep condition

    • @GEMNaturals
      @GEMNaturals  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Great question! You can either place a plastic shower cap over your head and leave it on for 30 mins ( the heat from your body will result in heat accumulation inside the cap) or you can sit under a hooded dryer with a plastic cap for roughly 15mins. Make sure the hooded dryer is on low heat.
