I have low density and fine strands as well. I find I can get a fuller looking fro starting from shrunken hair. Stretching the hair takes away from the volume.
The heat stretching thing is so true I (having low-porosity hair) can blow dry my hair a lot without damage while my little sister (who has high porosity) can't.
That's interesting cause I have low P and can't put heat can't put chemicals like texturizing and perms , I have colored my hair several times and found my hair won't grow i have to cut the color out, then my hair seems to just race from my roots, Like my ancestors were saying thank you Soo much for releasing us from that chemical prison , Pluses my hair is auburn Soo , i guess I'm recently accepting that no other people accept my bloodline defines some of me
@@angelvenus-africa4161 you might have fine strands and OP might have coarse strands. Strand diameter is something that determines fragility of hair as well.
This video made me realize my hair is definitely low porosity. I always thought I was somewhere in the middle. Thanks for the fantastic info, as always.
This video is so informative! I am finally understanding my hair at 45 years old!☺️ I have always loved my hair I just didn't understand it! I thank GOD for people like you who decided to share your knowledge.... Thank you so much!
This is by far, one of the best descriptions of hair typing. Done with excellence and a level of professionalism. Thank you for bringing the science behind hair care. You are why I tune into You tube!!😊❤
Porosity was the game changer for me. When I first went natural I wasted so much time and products worring about hair type 🙄 When I found out about prorosity, I finally understood why the LOC method wasn't working for me and I actually needed LCO 🙌🏽
I know this comment was 3 years ago but I've used the LOG(Leave-in, Oil, Gel) method and its worked wonders tbh creams are just wayyy to thick for my hair
I so wish I saw this video before cutting 9 inches off my hair. I didn't use heat to dry my hair often as I thought it wasn't good for my hair.. But when I did use a low heat, my hair seemed to be in a much better condition. This video made so much sense to me. Now I have future reference. Thank you 😊
Aww thank u so much @greenbeauty. Almost 10 months after my 2nd big chop I now understand why my hair likes some sort of blow drying to really stretch it out. 😍😍😍 Game changer. 🔥🔥💃🏽 Low porosity, thick, dense, high shrinkage. ☺️
You are so right! I was just telling my Husband that less water works in our baby's hair (She's three)I used to spray bottle to soak it down, and it never seemed to penetrate. Thanks so much for the video, And the Graphics are AMAZING, You can tell you put GREAT effort into this. KUDOS and Thanks Peace Sister 💛
Idk another you tuber pointed out the low porosity hair takes longer to soak in water/moisture. So using little water doesn’t get the job done. Usually my hair needs some steam in order to really soak in water. Not sure I relate to the point You’ve made here
I think I just found my hair type twin lol. My hair, and ends look just like yours and I have the most trouble with keeping my hair moisturized and my ends give me such a hard time. I definitely just subscribed and I'm will be binge watching your videos. This was so professional and helpful. Thank you!! ❤❤
THANK YOU. Simple. Straightforward. High on useful information. Low on filler chatter. I have LoPo and cannot figure it out. I would love it if you would do a video on how to determine if your hair is protein sensitive and how to eliminate excess shedding. I am LoPo with fine hair and medium density. Thanks.
omg soooo glad I clicked on this video!! I am just starting to really get into taking care of my natural hair, and I was about to chop like 4-5 inches off because my ends are so sparse, so I thought I just had alot of breakage and my hair was falling out Glad I did my research first!! :)
I love how much research you do for your videos. Your herb videos are my favorite the way you present the information helps me add what I need to my hair routine. Thanks for sharing💝.
Your hair is lovely. Nice to see you again. I think I'm low porosity but never really checked or made it a deal. I'll have to check and start caring for my hair based on its porosity and see if that helps.
I love your hair! It's so long and beautiful. I'm actually a bit jealous but I'm so happy that your hair is so long and gorgeous! It's not that my hair isn't growing I just don't have patience lol.
Hey, I've just found your videos and they are so interesting and informative! I've been no poo for over a year and your vids have helped me so much! Thank you!
After stressing and pondering what type of hair I have over a period time. I finally came to the conclusion. I have medium porosity, med density, med thickness. Medium everything.
A new subscriber here. I enjoy watching your videos. They’re more like professional tutorials. Thanks for all you God. Please I have low porosity hair but my hair dries out pretty faster than I learnt from this video today. Is anything wrong with my hair??
I've noticed that I can't moisturize my hair after I wash it .it has to dry a bit and then I add a bit of warm water before using grease to seal. a little bit of warm water goes a long way.
I'm confused 🤔...some videos say low porosity hair is hard to stay hydrated and she says it's easy...other videos say high porosity is where moisture stays in your hair and low porosity hair does not...I think that's why my hair is at a stand still 8 yrs after being natural...I still don't know what is best...I just may give up...
This is the best video explaining how to look after my hair thank you so much, I've been over watering my hair, because I thought that's what I had to do. I heard low porosity hair, needs more water. But my hair as been so frizzy after the take down.
You are amazing. i wish we could be BFF. I subscribed yesterday and have been binge watching your videos. I have been natural 5 long years and was getting ready to go back to relaxing as this is beyond frustrating, I should be past shoulder length by now, but I digress, you should have 1 billion followers just based on the science! I won't give up, I love my hair and will press in, I will not perish for lack of knowledge!
Thanks for sharing. Can you do a video on bamboo hair? I think I have this at the very front of my hair and I'm having a hard time retaining length because my hair is breaking from the root in additional to seborrheic dermatitis.
Hmm that's interesting I have never hear of us Africans (a.k.a Black people) having trichorrhexis invaginata. If you can, visit a dermatologist of a hair specialist to formally diagnose you. Its an inherited condition that often includes skin issues as well.
Usually I don’t shed like that but last night I did :( I think there’s a product insured that was questionable. That’s the only good thing my little 4c it does excellent in gentle twist and braids and doesn’t mar when I’m braided for a month. She’s strong but brittle at the same time. I’m having trouble with length retention. Thank you for this!
I was wondering why my hair changed.I started weting my hair all the time so it would not break.But days my hair out and makes brittle.And it soaks up waiter easily and stays wet if in ponytail.But dries out quick if I let it sit.I have mixed porosity.I will start moisturizer without water again.It was growing
Can you please do a video on how to combat frizz? Also one on how to select products that won’t leave white residue on the hair? I would love to wear my hair instead of wigs all of the time, but it is frizzy, tangles easily and I’ve yet to find a combination of products that will leave it moisturized and/or defined without leaving white specks on my hair. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
Thank you for this. It is good that you covered this. Also, I love the graphics. Last year, I talked about using a high porosity product and loving it in a video.
alldatzyall, shed hairs are best removed with a detangling brush like the tangle teezer. You may want to trim your ends a little too. That should help the snagging.
@@l8terivy Yeah, I have been using a cheap plastic shampoo brush because I liked it better than the tangle teezer. I tried trimming my ends but it didn't help as much. It could be because I'm not using oil (i been using a coconut and olive oil mix) that's thick enough to seal my ends. But I'm slowly adding shea butter to my mix.
@@l8terivy I tried finger detangling in a small sections. I noticed it didn't snag my ends as much until I go above mid shaft. So I guess I should just finger detangle my ends first then follow up with my brush which seems to working well for me. Also my whipped shea butter gave me a lot of slip.
Where all my fellow low po girls? Hiiiiiiiii❤👋🏾
🙋🏽♀️
Hi
Oops...I’m hi po.....haha I’m a 🦛
Hey girl👋
🙋🏽♀️
Low porosity, low density, fine strands. I’m so jealous of you girls with thick and dense hair. I want a big fro too 😭😭😭
Me too!. At least you have the length (I saw your video).😀
I have low density and fine strands as well. I find I can get a fuller looking fro starting from shrunken hair. Stretching the hair takes away from the volume.
The Whoever, me too. But with shrunken hair comes tangles for me. I prefer stretching and embracing the frizz for a fuller look.
I’m also low Po, low density and fine strands and I’m so over it. Literally every style I wear looks thin and lifeless 😩
Same
Your videos are so professional. I feel like I’m watching a training DVD for work 🤣. Are you a doctor or chemist?
Shes a chemist
Right!!!
@@Lucky-uz6jk oh cool . nice to know
This is hilarious but true! Lololol
Most likely both. I love her. So calm and precise. X
Anyone else with low porosity but fine hair strands😩

Yep!

Super informative video, very insightful comparisons. I definitely prefer my hair when it’s stretched.
Your skin tone, hair and nails are so beautiful and even. Do you have a special diet?
You are so right!

My hair needs to be watered ALL the dang time.....I need the high porosity vid! Thanx
Look up oil rinsing. It will eliminate the need for daily moisturizing. It changed my hair's life. Lol.
Use butter to seal
@@cfoster6804
Sounds interesting..
Tell me more about it?

I always thought it weird that my hair didn't like too much water. Now i know

I'm so jelly of the amount of shine that a lot of LoPo gals get when they stretch their hair.
Great content and great video. Thank you!

You mentioned thick, dense hair strands. What about low porosity hair with fine strands. Does the same apply?
Your videos are amazing and very informative.
