I use a rice water rinse on my high porosity hair every one to two weeks and I have seen a difference in retaining length probably because there is protein in rice. My hair type is genetic my mom, sister and I all have fine hair. I big chopped twice and my texture never changed. I follow L.O.C method and I've experienced no issues with retaining moisture. I also use aloe vera juice mixed with essential oils and vegetable glycerin my hair loves that as well. I wear afro puffs most of the time and re twist my hair every night to keep tangles away.
OMG! this was so refreshing! i've been saying forever my hair is not damaged! i was born this way! Thank You! i can identify with almost everything you stated! fine strands, low to medium density, acv and aloe vera juice or gel are bae! i use a light protein every wash day - ors hair mayo and my hair LOVES ayurvedic herbs, particularly fenugreek and amla (i do make a henna & rose gloss bar i use occasionally). my go to styling preference is the LCnoO - i only use oils sparingly and my hair hates coconut oil and my go to style is the Side Show Bob! WOW! i would call you my natural hair sister, but i think i'm a bit older than you! maybe i'm your natural hair auntie! LOL~ love your channel! the best high porosity info on TH-cam!
The porosity test that everyone tells you to do made me think that I had low porosity hair. It wasn't until I talked to an actual stylist and then listened to this video describing my hair exactly that I now realize that I have high porosity hair. What an eye opener! Thank you for this video. I will be listening to your others.
I keep my hair covered 90% of the time and I use only natural products. My hair is high porosity due to genetics. I'm 16 mos post big chop. Raw honey and glycerin helps my hair retain moisture. The only protein it likes is honey and a little coconut oil.
I'm doing wonderfully cutie pie and I look forward to your next video! So informative and I learn a lot about my hair and what it needs from you! Love❤️❤️❤️
I have thick 3c/4a hair with high porosity. My hair is NOT damaged. I don’t blow dry my hair too lazy to do that. My hair soaks up moisture quickly. I can be in a pool and soon as I get out within 30 mins. My hair is bone dry. But then again my skin also repels moisture. I guess that’s just my body. I’m also having a problem with my kidneys. I can drink ALOT of water and my urine will be dark brown TMI. I eventually will go to a doctor about it.
I recently found out I have hair porosity hair and so do my two daughters. I moved from NC to Florida. This climate change has murdered my hair. I had to do a second big chop because of it. My hair is finally growing back nice. Thanks for the tips.New subbie here.
Thank you for mentioning that high porosity hair can occur naturally/due to genetics. I had high porosity hair before and after going bald with no previous coloring/bleaching.
Coconut oil and aloe vera juice have definitely increased how my hair maintains moisture. Even when I don't buy the actual bottle of aloe vera juice, the products that I use in my hair contain aloe vera juice in them. I definitely have to trim more often as well. Waiting 6 months I would eventually have to trim a lot, which happened in my first year being natural. Now I dust my ends while in twists every 6-8 weeks, and then every 6 months I reshape my hair.
Curly Neik Sounds like a great Routine! I don't use Aloe Vera separately either. Finding products that already have that ingredient in them seem to work perfect
i have fine 3a high porosity hair and everything you recommend works 100%. and thanks for introducing me to kinky curly leave-in, that slip works wonders❤️
Chalsey Wilder I see your comments all the Time in Amandabucket channel and I swear you in that pic you look just like my cousin I always think that its her pic and TH-cam channel
You're probably one of the only TH-camrs I've seen that actually gets porosity right. For anyone looking for another in-depth channel that caters to high and medium porosity hair to complement this one, check out the Curl Ninja. She's a curly hair stylist who talks a lot about different porosities and really kind of cuts through the crap of a lot of the hype and myths about curly Hair. And she's totally nice about taking or leaving her advice and just using what you can from it.
Hi AK. I agree with what you said about conditioners not staying on for longer than 10-15 minutes. My hair can become mushy if I derp condition for moisture too often & too long. I'm also surprised that coconut oil works well. Great advice and video.
Yaaasss DIVA you touched on so many important facts in this video that will help folks no matter what their hair porosity happens to be. You know I'm a lazy natural so with all this hair, ain't never known no official wash, and go. Still you've said something that I've always considered. Wash, and goes aren't protective in the least bit. Plus most of those that I do see utilize this style repeatedly. Happen to also be those that don't really use brushes, and combs. For me it's more important to make sure that I CAN comb thru, and detangle my entire mane. Even tho I have quite a bit of, I also don't shampoo it in sections, because that's just another strange thing to me. If your hair is really managed then there is no reason to have to do this. If I went to my beautician, and she began to section off my mane, before a shampoo. I would wonder what in Hades is she about to do???
Wash and gos are so hard to do on my daughter with natural high Porosity hair she has amazing curls but everything dries up so fast and it becomes a dry Afro 😔 I have to switch up her products I didn’t know that the things that work for my hair (low porosity) won’t always work for hers...Thanks for the info
Tyesha Brown Mine is the same exact way, curls are beautiful when wet but then the dry Afro starts forming in the next few mins , just trying to figure out what products to use for my hair
So many videos later, and finally getting answers from various presenters. I went through a lot of hair breakage as a result. The opposite of the results I wanted for my high porosity hair. 22nd Century woman says to use a light protein treatment for high porosity hair. I also know when you use a protein treatment, you must also find a moisturizing product. Lastly, high porosity tends to have hydra fatigue, too much moisture and literally clumps of beautiful curls break off if I have too much water. Right now I tried for the first time pure aloe vera mixed in the blender and sealed with castor oil. I will try my second treatment this week. Alot of trial and error on this natural hair care journey.
Finally found a natural hair twin (kinda) on here! Also have relatively fine, high porous hair of a similar curl pattern to you. I've always been 'natural' and had high porosity hair but I've wanted to ask if you find that the things that are ideal for our hair porosity, really amplify how fine the hairs are? For example, protective styles that clump strands like (natural) twists braids are great but because of the ''fineness' of our strands, they make our hair look even finer/borderline thin *especially* when layering products etc. Something I'm still trying to grasp and navigate yearsss into this journey of learning how to care for my hair! Do you have any insight at all/can you relate?
Hi!! I'm happy you found me! To answer your question, I feel like styles such as twists & braids are great for clumping the hair together. It can look thin/fine if it isn't picked out enough however. I get the same look with my wash n gos if I don't pick it out good. I use a pick for all my hairstyles & that really helps to bring fullness back into my hair. I hope that helps & answers your question.
I use a protein deep conditioner on top of my moosturing conditioners once a week or every two weeks. How do I know when it's too much? Thanks for all of these videos. You've always spoken about porosity, not many TH-cam's do this.
Loved this! And it came right on time really. I would definitely like to see a video on how to find products that work for your high porous hair because i seem to have a hard time finding products that work best with my hair.
I’m not feeling SheaMoisture, but I’ll give it a go. I just learned recently that I have high porosity hair naturally but due to coconut oil causing an itchy, irritated scalp I leave it alone.
I didn't know that porosity was so important. It's really useful (the hair type, not so much). That is why my hair loves rhassoul clay like shampoo, leave-in water based, avocado oil, olive oil, grease, protein mask... Thank you for this video 😊
So I don’t use shampoo but what I tried is putting coconut oil in my hair with deep conditioning and my hair is the softest it’s ever been. Hopefully it will have moisture tomorrow
My hair is very thick and I have high porosity and it's shoulder length when not stretched out. It's been breaking so researching this whole porosity thing. Thanks for the video. I just do braids and I am good to go
Your hair is beautiful! I have thin high porosity hair as well. I just found your channel and glad I did. I have subscribed so that I can stay informed on ways you keep your hair styled and healthy so that I can do the same.
I know this video is 2 years old, but I’m high porosity and I don’t have to trim my ends frequently. I only have to trim mines every 5 months. Not 4 or 6. I think a lot of us would have high porosity hair, but experience different permeability. Like, my high porosity hair did not like the Shea Moisture high porosity line, but it loved the low porosity line. 🤷🏿♀️
Thank you so much for these helpful tips it finally makes sense why wash and go's look so pretty but also tangle my ends and break off my hair I also dyed my hair so I believe my hair was normal porosity but the dye change it.im defiantly going to follow your tips especially with the protein treatments and protective styles I really want my hair to flourish and grow
You're so welcome Brie! Your hair will definitely make a comeback with the tips I've shared in this video. Also, try to be as consistent as possible! Good luck on your healthy hair journey. xoxo
I used rice water and it didn’t really work for my hair and I noticed bald spots, and rice water has protein in it so I’m worried if I use protein treatment it will do the same thing (my hair is high porosity) please reply !!
Excellent info on HP hair. I'm still learning about HP. Sometimes I feel that my hair changes in regards to HP hair...mmmm is it possible for hair to change porosity levels? Help!
MyNaturalMyChoice Thank you Evelyn! 💓 Yes that's possible. Your hair can change from normal Porosity or low Porosity to high Porosity. Technically high Porosity hair is "damaged" so any type of damage to the cuticle can make your hair more porous. High Porosity hair can't go back to normal or low though. Once it's "damaged" that's it. Your regimen will have to revolve around using products that help temporarily repair the hair or you can cut it. However if your high Porosity hair is hereditary that won't help lol 💕💕
I’m so late to this video but it’s been so informative as I am recently learning that high porosity is my hairs state. Did you ever do the video for how to shop for high porosity products ? Or will it still be coming?
For so long I thought my hair was damaged and didn't realize it was genetics because someone burned my hair one time, I mean I guess it is still damaged but now I know I have high porosity hair and that's why its the way it is
Hi Aakayla! I'm glad you found my video. It sounds like it really helped you figure out why your hair is high porosity. ❤️ Genetics play a major role in a lot of things, so it definitely makes sense as to why it would play a role in hair porosity as well.
Maud Hey Ik!! For a Leave In that has some protein I like Andalou Naturals Argan Oil plus Leave In. It has soy protein but it's still extremely moisturizing ❤️
I have 2a-2b hair and I use protein treatments every week and even some leave in protein afterwards sometimes...my hair is super soft.Never had protein overload.I use the aphogee 2 step every 6 months and just continue....
You hit the nail on the head! I have high porosity hair. I am already aware of what you mentioned. But pleased to see you know what you’re taking about. Coconut Oil= My BFF Protein = A Must Ayurvedic Herbs= 👍🏽 (try Sukesh powder from Henna Sooq. Made my hair very strong! 😉)
Babee DoLL Hey! For oils you might want to light oils. Maybe coconut, olive or Avocado. Ive heard a lot of great things about Avocado oil. As for Protein treatment suggestions my favorite is called Nothing But Intense Healing Mask. ORS Hair Mayo is also great
Hey what's your choice deep conditioner since shea moisture discontinued our chosen deep conditioner? I was so disappointed I emailed them😏. Green beauty recommended this video for high porosity hair. I've been studying hair ( ayurvedic and high porosity) alot more since Its been challenging retaining length. I totally agree with every thing you said in this video. Knot to day is my keeper for leave in conditioner along with come clean for the shampoo. I just subscribed , I look fwd to binge watching your channel. Thanks for video
I’m so lost😫 I think I have high porosity hair. My strands are horrible. Brittle and straw like and I’ve colored my hair. But lately I’ve been buying protein based products and it does not work well for me. It just makes my hair hard. Someone told me that I can be protein sensitive. Is there such thing as having high porosity hair/ protein sensitivity hair?
Bianca Vazquez Hey Bianca! Yes that's true. If you have thick high Porosity hair you might not need as much protein in your regimen because your hair is already made up with an abundant amount of protein which is Keratin. The more strands, the more Keratin. Being that I have fine hair AND high Porosity I need a lotttt of protein lol. ❤
try ORS Hair Mayo. it's a light protein deep conditioner that's a good balance between moisture and protein. this crazy high porosity hair can get protein or moisture overload very easily. :)
My hair dries out within hours😭😭😭😭😭my hair was already high porosity then I dyed it👀 it’s cute for about 3 hours then the humid hot weather in Florida attacks then it’s SUPER dry like I haven’t moisturized in days 😭😭😭😭I have to remoisturize like every other day. But we all know overmanipulation can cause breakage and not gonna lie I’m not a saint😭😭I needs help
Sometimes I deep condition overnight and my hair is not dry and it has not absorbs the product When I do the float test it sinks and I also had years of heat without heat protectant and she blow drying with pick but no detangling first My hair has very little visible heat damage but I don’t know what to do!!! What hair porosity am I??
Hi, AK. 👍 What's your fav shampoo for HP hair? Bentonite clay is bomb. Must restock on that, aloe vera juice, & KKKT. Have you tried the Thick & Curly Tangle Teezer for afro hair? Speaking of ayurvedic, have you checked out the DYIs on Curly Proverbz channel? I'm in the process of getting ayervedic powders including henna so I can do some of her DYIs.
S. Jones Hey! 👋🏾Well since my favorite Shea Moisture shampoo has different ingredients now & no longer works (refer to my previous video) I'm actually on the hunt for a good Sulfate free shampoo that's not from Shea Moisture. As for the tangle teezer I have tried one before. It was during my first yr being natural & it gave me split ends! Not sure why. Maybe my hair has just been anti brushes from the very beginning lol. ; I love Curly Proverbs channel. I made her Henna tea spray before but that's it. I'll definitely go back and check out her other recommendations
Donnique Cole My hsir loves it. You may want to try Rhassoul Clay which is more moisturizing and nourishing. I would fix eirher clay with apple cider & aloe vera {or just one of them} to balance the ph. Some people add oil to the mixture.
It's actually super moisturising because the clay clumps the curls for definition and the ACV smooths the cuticles which adds shine and increases moisture retention as they aren't raised and right open for moisture to evaporate out of ✨
I agree with the comments Donnique! But I can't speak on Rhassoul Clay because I haven't tried it. With Bentonite Clay make sure you add an oil to your mix. I use like a tablespoon (or a little more lol) of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It looks drying but adding oil helps. Also apply a plastic bag on top to keep your hair moist with the mixture. Lastly, do follow up with a deep conditioner. I definitely wouldn't skip that step.
Hi Manillo! You can try a twist out or braid out. Those are perfect styles because you can wear them as is for a day or two then wear them out. The goal is to choose a hairstyle thats going to reduce the amount of tangles you get.
Yes, Please do a video on “ how to shop for HP products “ ☺️
YoYo Vinson You got it! 💓
Yes please🙏🏽
I love that you stated you can have high porosity hair because of genetics. My hair has been high porosity since childhood.
exactly some people think the only way you can get high porosity through damage and that simply is not true
Yes, me too
My hair is the best when wet it’s soft and it just looks good but when it dries ... looks a mess!!!!!!!
Same but I just stopped using the flat iron and embraced my curls. They still look a bit messy and stressed. It will probably take some time :
Oh thats Lauren Mine is the same way lol what type of hair do you have ?
Mine too.
Mine too 🥴🥴
Same!!
I like how you got straight to the point and you jettisoned the intro montage everyone abuses. Good info.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your feedback
Yes thanks
I use a rice water rinse on my high porosity hair every one to two weeks and I have seen a difference in retaining length probably because there is protein in rice. My hair type is genetic my mom, sister and I all have fine hair. I big chopped twice and my texture never changed. I follow L.O.C method and I've experienced no issues with retaining moisture. I also use aloe vera juice mixed with essential oils and vegetable glycerin my hair loves that as well. I wear afro puffs most of the time and re twist my hair every night to keep tangles away.
OMG! this was so refreshing! i've been saying forever my hair is not damaged! i was born this way! Thank You! i can identify with almost everything you stated! fine strands, low to medium density, acv and aloe vera juice or gel are bae! i use a light protein every wash day - ors hair mayo and my hair LOVES ayurvedic herbs, particularly fenugreek and amla (i do make a henna & rose gloss bar i use occasionally). my go to styling preference is the LCnoO - i only use oils sparingly and my hair hates coconut oil and my go to style is the Side Show Bob! WOW! i would call you my natural hair sister, but i think i'm a bit older than you! maybe i'm your natural hair auntie! LOL~ love your channel! the best high porosity info on TH-cam!
Ayurvedic herbs
The porosity test that everyone tells you to do made me think that I had low porosity hair. It wasn't until I talked to an actual stylist and then listened to this video describing my hair exactly that I now realize that I have high porosity hair. What an eye opener! Thank you for this video. I will be listening to your others.
I keep my hair covered 90% of the time and I use only natural products. My hair is high porosity due to genetics. I'm 16 mos post big chop.
Raw honey and glycerin helps my hair retain moisture.
The only protein it likes is honey and a little coconut oil.
High porosity, dense medium slavic hair. Needed to find you. Thank you, I have been treating my hair wrong my whole life
Hi Afro Khadisiac, I love all your knowledge on HP hair and I would love to see a video on shopping for HP products🙋🏾
Lorelei Perez Hey Lorelei! How are u?! ; Okay sure!! I'll film it hopefully soon
I'm doing wonderfully cutie pie and I look forward to your next video! So informative and I learn a lot about my hair and what it needs from you! Love❤️❤️❤️
Lorelei Perez I'm glad to hear that! 😊
your skin is flawless 😩
I have thick 3c/4a hair with high porosity. My hair is NOT damaged. I don’t blow dry my hair too lazy to do that. My hair soaks up moisture quickly. I can be in a pool and soon as I get out within 30 mins. My hair is bone dry. But then again my skin also repels moisture. I guess that’s just my body. I’m also having a problem with my kidneys. I can drink ALOT of water and my urine will be dark brown TMI. I eventually will go to a doctor about it.
Wat up HP ladies, my hair love, love, love protein!!! But it's growing, I alternate between protein products and moisturizing
Shayla What's up Shayla?! 🤗 Love it!! Balancing the two is great
I recently found out I have hair porosity hair and so do my two daughters. I moved from NC to Florida. This climate change has murdered my hair. I had to do a second big chop because of it. My hair is finally growing back nice. Thanks for the tips.New subbie here.
L.B. O for me
Leave in conditioner, butter and oil. Works just fine to keep it moisturized for a week before I have to re moisture 😊
Thank you for mentioning that high porosity hair can occur naturally/due to genetics. I had high porosity hair before and after going bald with no previous coloring/bleaching.
Coconut oil and aloe vera juice have definitely increased how my hair maintains moisture.

I’ve been trying LCO method and that works better for me also. I my hair loves the Shea Moisturize product also.
BklynGirl72 Nice!! 😊❤
Same here!!
i have fine 3a high porosity hair and everything you recommend works 100%. and thanks for introducing me to kinky curly leave-in, that slip works wonders❤️
Ksenia Galina Hey! That's awesome! You're so welcome Ksenia 😘😘
Same as a biracial I barely find any other 3a curl girls with high porosity
Coconut oil keeps you from losing as much protein when you manipulate your hair, so I think that's why
Chalsey Wilder Good point Chals!
Chalsey Wilder I see your comments all the Time in Amandabucket channel and I swear you in that pic you look just like my cousin I always think that its her pic and TH-cam channel
Ajyanna Luvsu lol

That must be why my hair loves the Kinky Curly custard and knot today. Aloe Vera juice and slip respectively.
Wow i love you just get straight to the point...i thought i had low porosity hair but after this i have high porosity and it all makes senseeeeeeee

Thank you Hafsa!! ❤️ Will do!
MY FAVORITE TH-camR!!!! So glad to see another video, as always. Thanks for clarifying that HP hair is not damaged.
India T Hey India!!! 💜💜 Thank you so much love!
Very informative I did notice stretched styles (braidouts/twistouts) help me retain moisture longer than wng I'm just so lazy 😩 lol
Loved this! And it came right on time really. I would definitely like to see a video on how to find products that work for your high porous hair because i seem to have a hard time finding products that work best with my hair.

Lorena Stormborn 💜💜💜
Love tips #8-10. Great reminders.
Thanks for the video! 💜👍
I know this video is 2 years old, but I’m high porosity and I don’t have to trim my ends frequently. I only have to trim mines every 5 months. Not 4 or 6. I think a lot of us would have high porosity hair, but experience different permeability. Like, my high porosity hair did not like the Shea Moisture high porosity line, but it loved the low porosity line. 🤷🏿♀️
Awesome video friends
I love Shea moisture products! It has really helped to get my hair healthy.

You're so welcome Brie! Your hair will definitely make a comeback with the tips I've shared in this video. Also, try to be as consistent as possible! Good luck on your healthy hair journey. xoxo
I usually just rinse my hair out with warm water and use wild Growth hair oil and coconut oil and I’m set for 2-3 days before I repeat or wash
This is great info! I have the same issues with my HP hair. Your recommendations are on target! 😊
Sa Alston Thank you Sa!! 😊❤
This is what is needed.
🙏🏾 🙌🏾 Thank you!
Yes to product shopping for HP hair
Thank you for this my hair gets easely over moisturized didn't know why

Hey Khadisiac, where did you get your earrings? I like them. Get tips.
Lizzie Clay Hey! Thank you ; Tips as in nails? I think the last time I got tips was for my 8th grade graduation 🤣 Not my thing but they're nice
Afro Khadisiac You didn’t answer where you got the earrings from. Where are they from?
This black girl Over here i get my earrings like this from ebay...
Lynette Nesbit thank you girl.
Lizzie Clay you're welcome.
All facts.
Yes to prod video!!
I love the KC Knot Today as a detangling conditioner, but I do not like it as a leave in since it is protein free.
Maud Hey Ik!! For a Leave In that has some protein I like Andalou Naturals Argan Oil plus Leave In. It has soy protein but it's still extremely moisturizing ❤️
No I meant the information you gave, good tips. Also where did you get your earrings?
I have 2a-2b hair and I use protein treatments every week and even some leave in protein afterwards sometimes...my hair is super soft.Never had protein overload.I use the aphogee 2 step every 6 months and just continue....
Very helpful video thankss ❤️

You hit the nail on the head! I have high porosity hair. I am already aware of what you mentioned. But pleased to see you know what you’re taking about.
Coconut Oil= My BFF
Protein = A Must
Ayurvedic Herbs= 👍🏽 (try Sukesh powder from Henna Sooq. Made my hair very strong! 😉)
Thank you so much Roshni!
Mon. 10/11/2021) I need more adjectives when describing how a product work on your hair, sometimes. Thank you.
Hey Pamela! Thank you for letting me know. I'll try to be more descriptive next time.
This year I️ want to incorporate hot oil treatments and protein treatments... 4a 4b fine high porosity kinks any suggestions?
Babee DoLL Hey! For oils you might want to light oils. Maybe coconut, olive or Avocado. Ive heard a lot of great things about Avocado oil. As for Protein treatment suggestions my favorite is called Nothing But Intense Healing Mask. ORS Hair Mayo is also great
Very useful tips thank you!
Thank you!!
Hey what's your choice deep conditioner since shea moisture discontinued our chosen deep conditioner? I was so disappointed I emailed them😏. Green beauty recommended this video for high porosity hair. I've been studying hair ( ayurvedic and high porosity) alot more since Its been challenging retaining length. I totally agree with every thing you said in this video. Knot to day is my keeper for leave in conditioner along with come clean for the shampoo. I just subscribed , I look fwd to binge watching your channel. Thanks for video
I have been looking for some one with same texture and porosity hair like mine.
Hey Idalia! 😄
Well explain
Thank you Valerie!
Thank you Lord! Finally someone with my kind of hair and porosity.
Hayyyyy!! Welcome Jasmine!
I absolutely loved this video, thanks so much girl! You’re beautiful btw😘
Is it better to avoid doing methods like the green house effect on high porosity hair?
Yes, because we're more prone to hygral fatigue.
What's that?
Very informative!
Awesome! Thanks.You look so beautiful BTW!
Bella Mariposa Thank you Bella!!
Thank you much for this info💕💕💕💕💕
Hello. How are you using the aloe vera juice?
You are so pretty!
Thank you so much Meghan!
So im high porosity and Im trying a find a good detangling shampoo. One that has a lot of slip and moisture. What would you recommend?
Good advice thank you
I’m so lost😫 I think I have high porosity hair. My strands are horrible. Brittle and straw like and I’ve colored my hair. But lately I’ve been buying protein based products and it does not work well for me. It just makes my hair hard. Someone told me that I can be protein sensitive. Is there such thing as having high porosity hair/ protein sensitivity hair?
Bianca Vazquez Hey Bianca! Yes that's true. If you have thick high Porosity hair you might not need as much protein in your regimen because your hair is already made up with an abundant amount of protein which is Keratin. The more strands, the more Keratin. Being that I have fine hair AND high Porosity I need a lotttt of protein lol. ❤
Ugh you’re the best ... do you recommend a shampoo that doesn’t have protein but can cleanse really well?
+Bianca Vazquez does your hair matt a lot. I swear on wash day I basically have dreadlocks and its such a mess
try ORS Hair Mayo. it's a light protein deep conditioner that's a good balance between moisture and protein. this crazy high porosity hair can get protein or moisture overload very easily. :)
Omg I'm the same I'm high porosity with very thick strands. It's driving me crazy!
My hair dries out within hours😭😭😭😭😭my hair was already high porosity then I dyed it👀 it’s cute for about 3 hours then the humid hot weather in Florida attacks then it’s SUPER dry like I haven’t moisturized in days 😭😭😭😭I have to remoisturize like every other day. But we all know overmanipulation can cause breakage and not gonna lie I’m not a saint😭😭I needs help
Sometimes I deep condition overnight and my hair is not dry and it has not absorbs the product
When I do the float test it sinks and I also had years of heat without heat protectant and she blow drying with pick but no detangling first
My hair has very little visible heat damage but I don’t know what to do!!!
What hair porosity am I??
Is there any homemade protein treatment that I can do instead of buying one?
Hi, AK.
👍 What's your fav shampoo for HP hair?
Bentonite clay is bomb. Must restock on that, aloe vera juice, & KKKT. Have you tried the Thick & Curly Tangle Teezer for afro hair? Speaking of ayurvedic, have you checked out the DYIs on Curly Proverbz channel? I'm in the process of getting ayervedic powders including henna so I can do some of her DYIs.
S. Jones Hey! 👋🏾Well since my favorite Shea Moisture shampoo has different ingredients now & no longer works (refer to my previous video) I'm actually on the hunt for a good Sulfate free shampoo that's not from Shea Moisture. As for the tangle teezer I have tried one before. It was during my first yr being natural & it gave me split ends! Not sure why. Maybe my hair has just been anti brushes from the very beginning lol. ; I love Curly Proverbs channel. I made her Henna tea spray before but that's it. I'll definitely go back and check out her other recommendations
@Afro Khadisiac is fenugreek good for high porosity hair? Also how are you using the aloe vera juice?
U mix the Aztec healing clay with acv for the hair mask?? I’m afraid to try it.. looks so drying 😩
Donnique Cole it looks that way but when you rinse it out your hair feels very soft.
Donnique Cole My hsir loves it. You may want to try Rhassoul Clay which is more moisturizing and nourishing. I would fix eirher clay with apple cider & aloe vera {or just one of them} to balance the ph. Some people add oil to the mixture.
Hair doesn't feel dry after wards but you always need follow up with a moisturising dc
It's actually super moisturising because the clay clumps the curls for definition and the ACV smooths the cuticles which adds shine and increases moisture retention as they aren't raised and right open for moisture to evaporate out of ✨
I agree with the comments Donnique! But I can't speak on Rhassoul Clay because I haven't tried it. With Bentonite Clay make sure you add an oil to your mix. I use like a tablespoon (or a little more lol) of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It looks drying but adding oil helps. Also apply a plastic bag on top to keep your hair moist with the mixture. Lastly, do follow up with a deep conditioner. I definitely wouldn't skip that step.
What's a good leave in Conditioner? What do you recommend?
Nightfox Rushing Hey! My favorite is Kinky Curly Knot Today
ok, so what kinds of hairstyles "goop" strands together? can you expand more on this.
Hi Manillo! You can try a twist out or braid out. Those are perfect styles because you can wear them as is for a day or two then wear them out. The goal is to choose a hairstyle thats going to reduce the amount of tangles you get.
