Now it is! But it's because we live in a dry climate (Vegas) now. So now my old products don't work for this climate, so I'm a mission to find products that work for this climate!
I don’t have dry hair anymore because I did the following: Determined my porosity (I’m high porosity because I have colored my hair). That helped me to buy the right products for my hair. I now buy products that have of course water, but also aloe vera, marshmallow root, slippery elm. All my products must have at least 2 of these high in the ingredient list. Being high porosity meant I also needed a heavier oil to seal in my moisture. I was using light weight oils like sweet almond which did not help at all. When I switched to avocado oil (sometimes I use olive oil), that was indeed a game changer. My hair would now stay moisturizer for 3-4 days. Finally, I figured out my hair has its own moisture cycle. It is not going to go a week without without refreshing. So usually I refresh (with a product that has aloe vera, slippery elm or marshmallow root in it and reseal lightly with my oil just as it begins to show signs of dryness. Oh, one more thing. I became a lazy natural and stopped pre-pooing. Bad decision for me. When I went back to prepooing with Avocado oil a few hours before I washed (I never co wash) my hair, this helped in changing my moisture level in my hair. Hope this helps another high porosity naturalista.
Hi, I know this is from an old post, but what products do you use. I am struggling with my high porosity hair. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
@kriseme4734 hello 👋🏾! I like to use Camille rose products for styling and the “it’s natural” haircare line for shampoo and conditioner. Hope that helps!
Yessss from look to feeling dry. I want to do better with my natural hair. Product buildup, not making time for my hair and being a procrastinator. Thank you for the info and advice. 💜💜💜
Hello hello 👋🏾! Product build up really is a big culprit! Once I started to focus on getting my hair super clean I noticed a big change in the level of dryness. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Yup. Product buildup is causing my dry hair for sure. I should've known, because the previous fortnight when I washed my hair, I didn't prepoo and I used a clarifying shampoo for the first wash, then I used a moisturizing shampoo. Those two weeks my hair looked shiny and felt less dry than usual. Then this last wash day, I prepooed with oil, and only used the moisturizing shampoo.... and my hair is currently looking dull and feeling drier. Go figure, I use enough oil and grease during my day to day upkeep- I should've known I didn't need to prepoo with OIL! LOL. It seems that I need to clarify every time I wash- every two weeks! 😅
OOOOOOh my GOODness! I had to pause your vid after you revealed the 1st. reason why your hair is soooo dry! " Not Washing Your Hair Properly" If you are using Oils, butters and Co Washing????? That was me!!! Washing with co washes and conditioners!! I am working on a video similar to this one and I will share soon! Now back to your video.
Yes can’t wait for your video!!!! I was co washed and oiled and buttered down 😭!! Clogging my hair with product and wondering why I could never moisturize it. Too much buildup without properly cleaning!!!! That’s why I felt Fo washing ALONE. It isn’t for me at all! I have low porosity hair and need all the moisture I can get!!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate you always!!
Hello 👋🏾 Derika ! You’re hair is so pretty 😍, love your locs!!! I totally believe you when you say locs need to be dryer to be kept in good condition. Thank you for watching and commenting!
You are absolutely right about cowashing but i don’t use rinse away conditioners. I’ll follow up with a mousse And a leave in. I only use oil on my scalp. I use honey infused products but I noticed glycerin and honey products cause my hair to draw up and tangle. I’m just not sure why
Thank you so much for all this information, it's very helpful although this is an older video, it's very helpful information to me. I really need help with the clarifying shampoo. thank you for all you do and will implement these steps for my natural hair journey. Again thanks so much 😊
Hello 👋🏾! Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. Here is a list of some clarifying shampoos that can remove buildup effectively from the hair and scalp: shop.naturallycurly.com/shampoos/clarifying-shampoos/
There is a TH-camr who is also a scientist and she backs up her statements with science. The strand test for porosity is just one level of porosity....According to science most Black people are high porosity and I believe this. When I first began my journey, my hair was hella dry. This occurred because I mainly used Deep Conditioner and just totally paid no attention to protein.I changed my routine on my own before I'd heard the science but once I heard what she said it made sense.
Hello hello 👋🏾! Thank you for sharing that information. I’ve used protein treatments and they’ve done wonders for my hair as well. I think it’s all about people really digging into what their hair needs also. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have been trying to get a trim and not one of my stylist will trim it! I ask for it and they say I don't need it. I have only had 1 trim in 3 years! I suffer from dry hair and my most recent stylist said it is moisture damaged, also that I need to always dry my hair. Do not sleep with wet hair or do wet and go.
Hello 👋🏾! It seems like you have to find a new stylist and not take no for an answer. The trims really help. Now, if your ends are perfect after all these years then maybe your stylist is right. I just know for me my ends would be ate up after 3 years with no trim. How do you typically wear your hair? If you have moisture fatigue your stylist can do a protein treatment to help fortify your hair.
She is one of the best in natural hair care, so I will keep her. The thing is she is not the first to tell me no to a trim. It is something I have consistently heard. From African, Dominican, White, Black, doesn't matter, they all say no. The last trim was after 4 years of hearing no. They say you only need them when you need them. I try to trim a little at home, however, I have no clue what I am doing and no videos help. I can follow a styling video easy, throw in a trim, and I am lost! Lol
Yeah I definitely cannot trim my own hair. It would turn out a mess if I did. I always need a trim each year, but I get what you’re saying. It all depends on the stage of the persons hair.
Great video 👌 I need to start deep conditioning more. I have to add water and conditioner to my hair like every couple days. Have a Blessed Week and Take Care 🙏
Hello, your hair is beautiful. My hair is really dry and I have excessive shedding after I wash my hair. What products do you suggest to prevent dryness and shedding? 🥰
Hello hello 👋🏾! I always suggest using water based products. Products where water is the very first ingredient, especially for stylers. What products do you currently use?
@@CammyjOfficial Thank you. I have been using a Walmart Avocado Shampoo but switched to Suave's Luscious Curls Shampoo and Conditioner. I also use African Pride Olive Miracle Leave in Conditioner and Africa's Best Maximum Strength Super Grow Scalp Hair Dressing. I also have Graves Disease but I am in remission.

Hello 👋🏾 Eligah! Does thin hair run in your family? It could just be the natural way your hair is because not everyone has thick hair. It could also be due to how you style your hair as well that could be causing thinness.
That’s so true about water though. My sons dreads are down to his butt and he uses NOTHING but water. He may allow his hairdresser add some blue magic every blue moon if he’s feeling it that day during a retwist but basically he has never used anything but water.
Hello 👋🏾 Paula! My hair was blow dried out and then I used my Camille rose moisture butter to do two braids for a chunky braid out. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I stopped using oils as a part of the “no oils no butter” test on my natural hair. The only oil i really used was grapeseed oil, and I’ve since stopped using that too.

Shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioners, stylers, they all already have oils in them.

Hi 👋🏾 Stevie!!! Thank you for watching and commenting! Yeah, living in dry environments can do a number on your hair. Do you have a hair steamer?
Yes yes and yes

@@CammyjOfficial my family members have thick hair and then I don't do much of styles on hair
Okay so you just naturally have thin hair. What styles do you do with your hair?
That’s so true about water though. My sons dreads are down to his butt and he uses NOTHING but water. He may allow his hairdresser add some blue magic every blue moon if he’s feeling it that day during a retwist but basically he has never used anything but water.
Water 💦 is really key 🔑 when it comes to natural hair. People don’t wanna believe me though 😂!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
