Hi girl, I think you should try a moisturizing deep conditioner They’ll hydrate your hair, definitely not leaving it dry Hair mayonnaise contains protein which strengthens the hair but doesn’t give it the hydration it needs
No combs, I just finger detangle. I don't mix the glycerin. Although I've diluted my glycerin with water in the past, but I found that it reduces the thickness and potency of the glycerin.
It takes roughly 6 hours to air dry, but I don't wait for my hair to completely get dry before applying products. I apply products while it's still damp, not dripping wet.
@@ajayiosahenrumwen5519 Based on that short drying time, I would say high porosity. But there could be other factors. If your hair easily absorbs products, it could also be high. For a start, you can use the water test to find out. Tbh, sometimes my hair dries in shorter time, say 3 hours. There was a time I even believed my hair switched porosities. The confusion is real. Porosity is just a small factor for good hair care. The major factor is using products that your hair easily absorbs, and which keep your hair moisturized the longest, irrespective of your porosity. That's where humectants + butters + protective styling come handy.
@@ajayiosahenrumwen5519 Sorry about your experience. Hopefully , that will change soon. May I ask what your routine is like? I'm talking about protective styling and all.
@@Ifeoma_Gift I wash my hair every three weeks and deep conditioner every three weeks too. I condition my hair twice a week but I am not very consistent. I trim my hair every three month and I do protein treatment every three months too. But I am thinking of washing and making my hair every two weeks and trimming every six month and also making my hair myself because the hairdresser are just too harsh on my hair. What do you think I should do to improve my hair routine and maximize hair growth
@@ajayiosahenrumwen5519 That's some impressive routine there. From your plan, I would say you're halfway there. You say 'maximizing your hair growth'. May I ask whether you've seen some growth with this routine at all? If yes, changing your routine might not be the issue, but enhancing it. If no, then you absolutely should switch things up. Since I don't know how well your current routine works for you, my suggestions may not do justice. But one thing I've spotted in your routine that could cause setback is your 'frequency'. I think you might be doing a little too much based on the time stretch between your treatments. Your washday frequency of 3 weeks is fine, which is a good start. You don't have to condition your hair twice weekly if it disturbs your schedule. Once weekly is fine. The important thing is 'be consistent'. 3 months trimming frequency is too much to see any new growth. 6 months is okay but still may not be necessary. The pointer to know when to trim is 'split ends'. When your ends are rough and the split ends are too many to handle, that's when you need a trim, and it could take even a year for this to happen except you use heat/ manipulate too much/damaged hair. As long as you don't do much with your hair, you won't need a trim anytime soon. Many deep conditioners are actually protein treatments and shouldn't be done as often as 3 weeks. I would recommend that you stretch your deep conditioning to 2 or 3 months. More so, in the months that you do protein treatments, you don't need to deep condition again. Sorry about your experience with rough hairdressers. They are likely the major problem to your hair growth setbacks. Making your hair yourself is a very good move, especially if you can cope with it. Otherwise, finding a trusted natural hair stylist is equally a good option. Hope this helps. All the best with your hair ❤️
wow your hair has reallly grown... final year project nearly killed me but im ready to be consistent again

Hi girl, I think you should try a moisturizing deep conditioner
They’ll hydrate your hair, definitely not leaving it dry
Hair mayonnaise contains protein which strengthens the hair but doesn’t give it the hydration it needs

do you comb your hair? and the humectant,glycerin do you mix it with destilt water?
No combs, I just finger detangle. I don't mix the glycerin. Although I've diluted my glycerin with water in the past, but I found that it reduces the thickness and potency of the glycerin.

How does it take for your hair to dry after washing
It takes roughly 6 hours to air dry, but I don't wait for my hair to completely get dry before applying products. I apply products while it's still damp, not dripping wet.
@@Ifeoma_Gift my is 4c but I have been finding it difficult to know my hair porosity. My dryds like 1 hours what do think my hair porosity is
