GreenBeauty as you know I love your videos, so educational. I cannot find this one again but I'm wondering how the wheat grass has worked out on that little grey strand of hair you had? has it been long enough for us to get an update?
@GreenBeauty I am kind of confused coming down to the last part of the video. You use heat before or after adding product to your hair for the twist-out?
So when are you writing "The Green Beauty Guide to Healthy Natural Hair" book?Or some kind of title like that.....lol Im just saying you should definitely look into being a published author. Your book will not stay on the rack. Remember the "The Science of Black Hair: A Comprehensive Guide to Textured Hair Care" This was a game changer for alot of naturals. I still read this book. Its been such a detrimental contribution to my hair journey. I honestly feel if you...no...WHEN you write a book it will be like the updated and more hands on version of the above mentioned book. It will speak to natural from a scientific, practical, relate-able stand point. Im just speaking it into existence for you girl. You're going to end up writing a book. If you never have nor never thought about......get ready to!!!
Hi Nappyfu, hope you doing well...I wanted to know if you think that 4c hair likes aloe vera juice? I don't think I've ever seen you use it. I just watched one of your old mini twist videos this morning on how to wash them. Take care.
+Catherine...ummm..well, like she did not get a chance to respond, so, i guess I will just have to try it for myself. Back in the day, I used the fresh aloe plant in a blend, but I stopped b/cI was seeing particlesin my hair...prob. from the egg, which I will NEVER use again.
Fruitful..thanks, are you low porosity? I think i saw a video that GB made with a chart of suggestions on what to use. I will search for it OR just search elsewhere here on youtube.
YESS THE TWISTOUT THING I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE AND THE SINGLE STRAND KNOT THING I THOUGHT MY HAIR WAS DAMAGED BECAUSE IF THOSE TWO THINGS THANK YOU OMG
I used to get a lot of single strand knots. My twist out would look great but I would still see single strand knots. I don't have as many now because I got a trim in december. But I do believe that a good twist out depends on techniques. First time I did a twist out it looked horrible then I learned the right technique and got better results over time
I despise twist-outs and my hair thrives when it's lightly blow-dried before styling. It took a long time for me to understand it's because of my porosity. Bless you for this video
OMG I never related so much to a video. This is sooooo me. I've figured out a long way back that my hair doesn't like to be air dried. blow drying is the way for me as long as you do I it right, no damage.
i3abikay yea I usually Wrap my hair with the shirt as soon as I get done washing my hair and by the time I get dressed and do I got to do my hair is damp and good to go to blow dry
I'm using heat again! I'm realizing my hair grew faster when it was blow dried , compared to what I've been experiencing with air drying! Lots of knots at the root and breakage. I was wondering why my hair looked great in twists while wet and a hot mess the next morning. I was saying " yeahhhh that's me!!!" This whole video lol
Where have you been all my life??!!!! I literally just took my twist out two days ago and they were a wiry stringy mess!! I thought it meant my hair was damaged and I was THIS close to getting a good 3-4 inches cut off my hair. I am so glad I stumbled across your channel! *New subbie*
Wonderful content! Great job on this video - yours are a big must watch for me to get factual information on my hair care. I love your use of scientific process to back up what's been working for me in the last couple of months. Honestly, I never thought that knowing the porosity of my hair was important, but I was having a hard time maintaining moisture, even tho I would spritz my hair religiously every morning and night. Then I watched some videos on low porosity hair - I can't remember whose right off the top of my head, but it changed my hair game DRASTICALLY! Here are some things that have been helping me: 1) I don't use cold water for a final rinse anymore - all those videos that say do a final rinse with freezing water😒 - nah! All it does is close my cuticles and moisture can't get in! I now use lukewarm water or tea (I usually finish off with a tea rinse) and it turns out great! 2) I warm my leave in and oils before every use - this is super easy too: I just put some water in a cup (I use washed out yoghurt cups, the big ones) and microwave this for 2-3 mins. Then I pop my applicator bottles into the water for 5 mins to warm up my products. This safely and quickly warms up my spritz, leave in and oils so I can apply them. Now I'm able to retain moisture till midweek before I need to re-apply and my hair is thriving! Anyone who has low porosity hair and doesn't want to use a blow dryer to apply the needed heat, please try warming your products - I think you'll love the results! 3) I also stopped using twists to stretch my hair out, I use chunky braids now and it has reduced my SSKs. But I think I'll try your suggestion of Bantu knots and see how well it works for me 4) Best of all, Now that I am retaining moisture better, I can do low manipulation and protective styles more frequently, because I don't have to redo the LOC method every day. I'm starting to see more length retention and I'm so excited. God bless you @GreenBeautyChannel! Keep up the great work!!!😍
Living in a completely Caucasian part of the world without a single African salon I had to cut my hair and leave it short for months cos I just can’t take care of it. I spent so much money following yt videos and buying expensive AF products (and paying shipping) and trying their suggestions only to be frustrated near tears and going to work yet again in a head scarf. This explains soooo much. Thank you so much for this. You have literally changed my life. I am gonna try again to grow my natural hair.
You are THE BEST authority on hair care and hair porosity that I’ve seen on TH-cam (and I’ve watched HUNDREDS of TH-cam “hair care gurus”. Your pictographs and research slides noting your references are on point. Thank you for taking the time to be thorough and show your research links. You’ve EARNED a new subscriber.👏🏾
I have been natural for years between using a professional to blowdry in order to trim. I'm now regrowing my natural hair and am only just now learning of porosity. Knowing this would have saved me so much heartbreak and all those dollars and hours at the salon all these years. All of your videos are super informative and easy to watch so thank you so much!
This is one of the most important hair videos I've seen in five years of TH-cam viewing. I had assumed that products would give me a great twist out. My hair looks better soaking wet than completely dry. Not one product or technique that I used produced the looks in the TH-cam videos. In fact, once dry my hair look liked it was never done. Once I saw your video about low porosity,y hair, I realized that I had this type of hair and I needed to make major changes. Thank you so much. Many Blessings.
I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU!!! I've always told ppl my hair does way better on a consistent press and flat iron schedule...why, because its being blow dried and loosening those curls thanks!
I would love a video of yours in your whole routine and how many times you do something. This would be very helpful for me because I have the same hair type and low porosity hair as yours..
Great video. I FINALLY figured out I have low porosity hair yet I’ve been natural for over 10 years. This video really explains some other things like when I get the knots at the ends. Those drive me crazy...plus I’ve been having a bit more breakage but I’m thinking due to giving my hair a protein treatment recently...my hair is still not very happy with me. I got a little confused about the stretching part when you mentioned you let yours dry to long. What I’ve been doing (before seeing your videos) is using jumbo magnetic rollers to stretch my hair. I don’t let them stay in long, just enough to stretch the length of my hair, so when I take them out my hair is still damp but long. I’ll have to try the paper towels to get the extra water out. I learned from Belle Bar that when using oils I should use heat or the baggie method to help my hair absorb the oils. Thank you again for the info. I’ll look at your using heat video next.
I appreciate the depth of your videos. You have taken on the science of natural hair spectacularly. Thank you for your hard work and diligence to separate fact form fiction and share the science of black hair. Keep up the good work.
Girl! I’m so glad to see some one else I do a two step drying process! I thought it was just me. I have to set my hair in twists, let dry and then detangle again to set it for a twist out. Thank you for letting me know I am not alone.
Another great and informative video. I am prepooing with coconut oil on my 4z strands (yes I said 4z) right now. My ends always look like that brittle tangled finish when I unravel my twists..... so a little light heat here I come. I always noticed it was a better outcome with a little heat but we always hear to avoid it. I am for it! Bantu and heat. Thanks again!
I am still stuck on the coconut oil in part one - gal you got me twisted up and my head upside down (busting out my own song and dance) - all along I thought my hair doesn't like coconut oil 😨😨😨😨 Thank God I found your videos - I am learning so much
oh my goodness!! I love this video! I literally thought something was wrong with my hair bc i would never get those thick juicy twist-outs like the other youtubers! I let my hair dry for too long and my hair looked very thin after taking out the twists. Now I know how to fix it! Thank u
Your page is amazing. I have been natural since 2011 and I keep cutting my hair because of Low porosity issues. Now I will try these method and see where it take me... While I still have 8inches of hair to work with. I planned on cutting it again very soon! Thank you for doing this.! Because I love natural hair and do natural hair but my hair seems to be my biggest issue and long time enemy lol. You my sister are a blessing!
I went on to one of the videos you linked and realised I hadn't comment or given a thumbs up so I had to come back and do that...because this is golden. I have all the characteristics and 'suffer' from all of what you mentioned...dead twist outs, crunchy stiff strands, the whole 9.
You’ve changed my life, thank you. I’ve e been growing natural hair for 2 years but could tell I was doing something wrong. I just big chopped again and did a porosity test. I’ve not been maintaining my hair in the correct manner hence the constant dryness, breakage and knotting. I’m going to limit my routine to L & C, incorporate heat and use moisturizing oils and humectants. Keep up this important work! Hugs and appreciation from South Africa. Vanessa
Girllllllll you are a blessing! I've been a subscriber for some time but decided to delve into this topic today and I have seen the light! Lol from the coconut oil, which was a holy grail for every new natural but for me it just 'sat' on my strands, no penetration whatsoever. And the water droplets? I see that every time and would've never know! Thank you so much for your commitment to research and sharing it with the world! You are awesome!!
THANK YOU GB! I've thought my hair was High Porosity this whole time and my hair has been trying to tell me otherwise. Your videos are so informative! Thank you! Looking forward to trying new tips and improving my hair's health with this new knowledge!
Completely random place to post this, but I tried your Real Protein Treatment, and fam. My hair was so soft afterwards and felt so much stronger. Like, even my ends didn't feel like straw. Thank you for making these products and videos!
I have finally figured it out, thanks to you. I have low porosity hair and for the longest I thought I had high porosity even though I didn't do much to my hair to cause that, I just assumed I was smh. Thank You GB 😀😀😀😀😍😍😙
I definitely have low porosity. It can take all day to dry but I'm scared of heat. I will watch your heat video once it comes out. I get constant single strand knots. My hair springs hehe I've been working on trying to help the hair slide out gracefully instead of hanging on. That part where you had heat changing colors in different fonts was mesmerizing. That song in your heart is from our African roots❤️
That explains why the ends of my plaits always spiral. Since I get my hair drench wet daily in the bath/shower, the hair does fine. Air drying works best for me. Oh and yes those single strand knots are annoying. Sometimes I find two knots millimetres apart at the end of a hair strand.
My hair is low porosity and fine, I also have alopecia in the crown of my head. My hair is always dry, wouldn't using heat (blow dryer) make the hair weaker? Did u have any tips for someone with fine/weak hair?
These videos are amazing. I wish I found these years ago when you uploaded them! Thank you so much :) Going to try these solutions for the next few months and see how it goes!
Thank you so much for doing this video. It was a life saver. I've been doing everything wrong with my hair. Thanks to you I now know what to do. Thank you so much sister!!!
Thank you! This is sooo me!!! I learned long ago that I HAVE to keep my hair stretched, either by braiding after a wash or the tension method of blow drying. I've found that blow drying is best for me 😊
now that make sense for me I found it so difficult to deal with my hair in the last 2 months that I've been doing a protein ttt while there is no need for it since am low in porosity thanks a lot waiting for the next video 😘
My low porosity hair is always in flat twist outs, cornrow braid outs, two-strand twist outs, or regular braid outs. I probably need to dust my ends more often to help prevent single strand knots. I need to go back to finger detangling sometimes vs detangling with a comb exclusively like I've been doing since last month. I'm going to try doing the blow dry tension method on my hair before styling in flat twists or other stretched style to see how my low porosity hair acts.
Thank you veeery much!! I've had a bad time with single strand knots (especially at my ends) for a while, it worried me a because I thought there was something wrong with my hair. But now I have a good idea of what was causing it :) Oh! And the twist outs, oh girl the struggle is real XDD
Hello, I'm confused, at 5:50, what do you mean by letting your hair dry all the way. Before you do what? Were you suppose to do something before you let it dry all the way? Not that I'm going to, but are you saying to use heat EVERY time we wash our hair? Thank you for the video.
If you haven't already, I'd love to see a video abt why products I love "stop working" on my hair. I've never been a product junkie, so it's especially challenging when this happens and I have to find a new staple.
I meant "SPRINGY" not "STRINGY" at time 00:31
GreenBeauty as you know I love your videos, so educational. I cannot find this one again but I'm wondering how the wheat grass has worked out on that little grey strand of hair you had? has it been long enough for us to get an update?
to answer your question "yes"
also I do option 1 and 3 trim and finger detangle.
@GreenBeauty I am kind of confused coming down to the last part of the video. You use heat before or after adding product to your hair for the twist-out?
So when are you writing "The Green Beauty Guide to Healthy Natural Hair" book?Or some kind of title like that.....lol
Im just saying you should definitely look into being a published author. Your book will not stay on the rack.
Remember the "The Science of Black Hair: A Comprehensive Guide to Textured Hair Care" This was a game changer for alot of naturals. I still read this book. Its been such a detrimental contribution to my hair journey.
I honestly feel if you...no...WHEN you write a book it will be like the updated and more hands on version of the above mentioned book. It will speak to natural from a scientific, practical, relate-able stand point.
Im just speaking it into existence for you girl. You're going to end up writing a book. If you never have nor never thought about......get ready to!!!
NappyFu TV If she writes a book, I’m preordering it. 🤩
Good suggestion!
NappyFu TV I'm ready to read it. I have my money and am ready to purchase it. 📖📚📒📕👍👏
I hear those vocals girl. 😍
NappyFu!
Hi Nappyfu, hope you doing well...I wanted to know if you think that 4c hair likes aloe vera juice? I don't think I've ever seen you use it. I just watched one of your old mini twist videos this morning on how to wash them. Take care.
marian B such a good question. I noticed my scalp doesn't like aloe. Even when I focus on only spraying the strands..bad dandruff not long after.
+Catherine...ummm..well, like she did not get a chance to respond, so, i guess I will just have to try it for myself. Back in the day, I used the fresh aloe plant in a blend, but I stopped b/cI was seeing particlesin my hair...prob. from the egg, which I will NEVER use again.
Fruitful..thanks, are you low porosity? I think i saw a video that GB made with a chart of suggestions on what to use. I will search for it OR just search elsewhere here on youtube.
"That's so annoying!" Note had me thinking of MJ 😂😂
trueee
Was thinking the same 😂😂
Lol! Me too I swear her voice is good
"that's so annoying" lol you can sing 😻😻
YESS THE TWISTOUT THING I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE AND THE SINGLE STRAND KNOT THING I THOUGHT MY HAIR WAS DAMAGED BECAUSE IF THOSE TWO THINGS THANK YOU OMG

But I do believe that a good twist out depends on techniques. First time I did a twist out it looked horrible then I learned the right technique and got better results over time
So what just add some heat to dry my hair some ? 70%
I despise twist-outs and my hair thrives when it's lightly blow-dried before styling. It took a long time for me to understand it's because of my porosity. Bless you for this video
Danielle Marina same here 👍
liseg89 I like buns or sometimes ifbcan be bothered I’ll do a braid/twist out on my stretched hair
My hair loves some lightly blow drying
That twistout situation yooooo i just died laughin. I always thought I'm too stupid
I'm going to help someone today by sharing this video. Every naturalista on this planet should follow this channel!
Ossouko 3 . This channel should be the foundation course of natural hair...then watch any other tutorial after that.
can you do a demonstration on how to use heat before doing a twist out or braid out please
OMG I never related so much to a video. This is sooooo me. I've figured out a long way back that my hair doesn't like to be air dried. blow drying is the way for me as long as you do I it right, no damage.
Mz Kegz how do you blow dry? Do wait for the hair to be half dried or when still wet?
Half dry and if I don't have patients I dry it with a tshirt
i3abikay yea I usually Wrap my hair with the shirt as soon as I get done washing my hair and by the time I get dressed and do I got to do my hair is damp and good to go to blow dry
I did everything you said and OMG I can't say thank you enough. You and Nappyfu are literally amazing. Best 4c natural hair advice etc on TH-cam .
"That's so annoying!"
I've now discovered the song of the ages.
I'm using heat again! I'm realizing my hair grew faster when it was blow dried , compared to what I've been experiencing with air drying! Lots of knots at the root and breakage. I was wondering why my hair looked great in twists while wet and a hot mess the next morning. I was saying " yeahhhh that's me!!!" This whole video lol
This video was a holy grail for me. The information in here is literally the key to mastering low porosity hair.
Where have you been all my life??!!!! I literally just took my twist out two days ago and they were a wiry stringy mess!! I thought it meant my hair was damaged and I was THIS close to getting a good 3-4 inches cut off my hair. I am so glad I stumbled across your channel! *New subbie*

Betty Oludare I've heard a lot about warming up products. I'm going to give it try and see how that pans out. Thanks for sharing your tips

Poor thing! You went trough alot!😕So glad you discovered our 'Queen of hair science' 👸🏾💇🏾♀🪮 🤗
You are THE BEST authority on hair care and hair porosity that I’ve seen on TH-cam (and I’ve watched HUNDREDS of TH-cam “hair care gurus”.

Knowing this would have saved me so much heartbreak and all those dollars and hours at the salon all these years. All of your videos are super informative and easy to watch so thank you so much!
The blowdryer has always been my friend. Airdrying breaks off my hair. Didn't really understand why until now. I'm a new subscriber!
"It's so annoying!" Love it! 😂
Moji O right? I literally subscribed after that!! Love love love it!
You are a gift from the heavens
Great info!! Omg...I needed to hear this...Lol. I'm one of those with the stiff, lifeless twist-out wondering where I went wrong.
Love the fact that your videos are very detailed and backed up with thorough research. Well done👍
Thanks ☺️
I feel likei have both low and high porosiy, i am so confused
You probably have medium porosity hair
Maybe you’re medium porosity or low porosity with fine hair strands.
This is one of the most important hair videos I've seen in five years of TH-cam viewing. I had assumed that products would give me a great twist out.

Sista's caring for and sharing with each otha. this is the BEAUTIFUL we are known for. Thank you ALL :)
Oh my goodness!! This is my life. Thank you sooo much I finally get my hair!!
I've given up on twist outs. Braid outs via plaits are effortless for my low porosity hair.
You just gave me a solution to a problem I didn’t know I had. Thank you.
I appreciate the depth of your videos. You have taken on the science of natural hair spectacularly. Thank you for your hard work and diligence to separate fact form fiction and share the science of black hair. Keep up the good work.

Thank God I found your videos - I am learning so much
Even me dear,i was told that it's a heavy oil so it can't work on low porosity
Your channel is one of the most informative on TH-cam. Thank you thank you thank you!

you are doing a great job at helping others understanding low and high porosity.
I've learned so much from your channel and now know so much more about my hair I know what to do and are so educatedb
Im so happy to hear that
THANK YOU GB!
I've thought my hair was High Porosity this whole time and my hair has been trying to tell me otherwise. Your videos are so informative! Thank you! Looking forward to trying new tips and improving my hair's health with this new knowledge!
yay! I have been struggling with my low porosity hair and these videos are so helpful. Thank you so much😃😃

Very very informative!!
I have to give it up to you! Alot of things I have learned through trial and error BUT I could never get my ends right! Thank you immensely!!!!
My hair is low porosity and fine, I also have alopecia in the crown of my head. My hair is always dry, wouldn't using heat (blow dryer) make the hair weaker? Did u have any tips for someone with fine/weak hair?
These videos are amazing. I wish I found these years ago when you uploaded them! Thank you so much :) Going to try these solutions for the next few months and see how it goes!
OMG!!! This makes so much sense!!!!! I'm going to try a braidout on slightly damp hair and see how it goes. Thanks for your insight sistren!!! 😍😍😍😍
I'm learning a lot from your video's. Can't wait for part 3. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!
I'm surprised you didn't mention African Theading or maybe that in another on of your vids .. I have to see if I can find it
Please do the stretching video! You explain things so well! It was like omg I finally get it!
Thank you so much for doing this video. It was a life saver. I've been doing everything wrong with my hair. Thanks to you I now know what to do. Thank you so much sister!!!
I'm so happy to hear that :-)
Your channel is amazing, thank you for sharing this great information!
Thank you so much for this video! Looking forward to following you in the future.
I have both low and high porosity hair. It's so weird. After 10 years I still haven't mastered my hair.
MommyLuvBabyLuv If you haven't yet. Check out Embrace Natural Beauty channel. She has the same.
am the same actually. maybe its medium porosity don't know
MommyLuvBabyLuv I thought I was the only one on the same boat. My hair characteristics follow both low and high porosity!
THis video is on point and efficient. Thanks for showing us . I am more informed.
This was a God send!!! I felt like you were telling my story. Thank you for this!
Thank you! This is sooo me!!! I learned long ago that I HAVE to keep my hair stretched, either by braiding after a wash or the tension method of blow drying. I've found that blow drying is best for me 😊
Yep!
now that make sense for me
I found it so difficult to deal with my hair in the last 2 months that I've been doing a protein ttt while there is no need for it since am low in porosity
thanks a lot
waiting for the next video 😘
This is changing my life
finally someone has a answer!!!!! because I am always cutting my hair... its sooooo tightly coiled at the ends its annoying. thx!
Thank God for your gift to the world.
Thank-you so very much. These two videos were awesome. I needed them.
Wow this is the most fantastic hair Video have ever watched thanks thanks thanks
My low porosity hair is always in flat twist outs, cornrow braid outs, two-strand twist outs, or regular braid outs. I probably need to dust my ends more often to help prevent single strand knots. I need to go back to finger detangling sometimes vs detangling with a comb exclusively like I've been doing since last month. I'm going to try doing the blow dry tension method on my hair before styling in flat twists or other stretched style to see how my low porosity hair acts.
Wow, this is so informative! Thank you so much!
Your twist out tho 😍.
Nice video!
omg thank you so much for explaining that twist out thing never knew why my twist out came out like that no matter what I did.
I NEEDED THIS!!! This is about to change the game for me lol. Thank youuuu!
Love love your videos , so informative and I feel like im in a seminar watching your videos.
Thank you very informative and looking forward to my low density hair truly growing.
thank you for your quality content. You have helped me so much ❤
THE WAY I CAN RELATE!! THANK YOU!!
LMAO that twist out example tho... yep that was me!! lol
This sooo makes sense to me! Thanks!!!!
Thank you veeery much!! I've had a bad time with single strand knots (especially at my ends) for a while, it worried me a because I thought there was something wrong with my hair. But now I have a good idea of what was causing it :) Oh! And the twist outs, oh girl the struggle is real XDD
Hello, I'm confused, at 5:50, what do you mean by letting your hair dry all the way. Before you do what? Were you suppose to do something before you let it dry all the way? Not that I'm going to, but are you saying to use heat EVERY time we wash our hair? Thank you for the video.
Thanks for this... Really appreciate.
you are a godsend !! thank you for this awesome information
If you haven't already, I'd love to see a video abt why products I love "stop working" on my hair. I've never been a product junkie, so it's especially challenging when this happens and I have to find a new staple.
You awesome. I like your explanation for things.
I really love your channel. I like to understand how things work, specially with science (chemistry and bio) 😉😊😊😊 thank you so muchhhhhhh
Another great video!
