Had to stop the video and compliment you on your hair, lol. Now I know how to make my hair be and feel fabulously moisturized. 😊 Thank you, Ms. Karen! Loved the usage of the blinds too.
Thank you Lynell! I appreciate it! I am such a visual person with it comes to learning, so I decided I would incorporate more 'tools' in my teachings, and believe me I have some interesting teaching tools in some of my upcoming videos! LOL! And thank you for the hair compliment -- I have figured out how to keep this hair moisturized (the gray is so dry!) and still maintain fabulous hair!
This is the best info/demo on hair porosity I’ve seen. 👍🏽It was easy to understand and concise. Is it possible to have a combo of low/high porosity hair? If so, I’m looking forward to watching your high porosity video.
Thank you so much! And absolutely - you can have BOTH! I will explain combo hair and high porosity, and maintenance in the video I create coming soon …
I clicked on this video for tips on how to properly moisturize my hair, and you explained everything very well. Growing up with porosity hair, I was always told by the people who were putting my hair in braids that it was always super dry and brittle. I'm still having trouble looking for specific products that can keep my hair moisturized while my hair is both in and out of braids. Do you have any recommendations for hair products that are more liquid based?
Hi Jada! So so sorry for the late reply! I don't know how I missed this message. So yes, it is extremely important that you keep your hair hydrated while in braids. And make sure you deep condition your hair before and after you come out of braids as well. You can try the Curl House Hair Nourishing Leave in Conditioner -- its a light spray, excellent for the hair and scalp --> curlhouse.com/products/hair-nourishing-leave-in-conditioner. Use promo code YT15 at checkout for 15% off. Unfortunately, I don't another recommendation for spray leave in; as the other leave in conditioners I use are thicker and not suitable while in braids. Another recommendation is the use the Jinsa Light Spray Oil -- so you can alternate between water based and oil. Here's the link for this as its also one of my favorites --> amzn.to/3Txnflw. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Karen I have been watching all your videos and your the first person to be so detailed and you have taken care of my natural dry hard to moisturize hair in a matter of days ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m mixed race and I always wondered why my hair is so hard to wet even though it’s looser textured. Now it makes sense. Thank you ma’am, I wish my mama knew this.
Hi, your channel came up in my recommended feed and I clicked on the video. And I am so GLAD I did. You are HELPING so many of us on our natural hair journey. You bring information that helps not the hype that has no true experience behind it. Please, keep doing these videos you are a blessing to us. I did the hair strand test and finally discovered I have low porosity hair. Thank you for your WEALTH of information. I am sharing it with my daughters. God Bless you for what you are doing and that is sharing the love.
This is super helpful!!! Your visual illustrations provided a deeper understanding that I greatly appreciate! Thank you so much for making this video!!
Hello Patrice! Thank you so much! I use several brands for moisture -- starting with my own -- Curl House Hair Restoration Collection, which includes a light spray leave-in conditioner; I also like Uncle Funky's Daughter liquid spray and cream moisturizers (I also use their styling gel for my hair); Design Essential Daily Moisturizing Lotion is good as well -- packed full of glycerin and great for moisture. I typically order my oils from Essential Wholesale -- I really trust the quality of their oils.
I'm just discovering your videos and have shared with my family. Thank you!!! Wondering if I'm low porosity and love gel how do I ensure I'm getting my crunch without drying my strands, can I ? Have you ever done a video about hygral fatigue? Would you be willing to?
I take care of my baby cousin’s hair a lot and she has low porosity 4c hair. I’m on an extreme budget, are there budget friendly products that you could recommend for her hair. How often should we wash her hair? She’s 3 years old and she’s such a beautiful girl just trying to learn all I can to get her hair taken care of so her bio family doesn’t try to shave it off again
Hi Jaimegrace North! Thank you for reaching out to me. I totally understand. Shave it off? Oh my! Let me ask a few questions so I can make the best recommendations. How do you keep her hair -- or how to do you stye it? Twists, fro, braids? And do you need recommendations for shampoos, conditioners, or moisturizers, and stylers or everything?
@@KarenofCurlHouse yes unfortunately last time they had her they buzzed it to be about an inch long(it's a bad situation unfortunately) :( it's grown quite a bit since though! We usually do sections with twists or braids. I'm not the best at doing smaller braids but I have done braids as well as just leaving her curls. And I'd be grateful for any recommendations that can help! I am concerned that the sectioned styles are pulling too much because she has some slight hair loss near her forehead.
Hello Hadar Mor! Yes. Silicones provide a strong barrier to lock in moisture as well. Just make sure the silicones are 'water soluble' so that they don't build up on the hair overtime.
You saved my hair because I was about to shave it off. This dry gray hair is disruptive and unruly. What I used on my hair before it turned gray is not working now.
Can I use the sprays and creams daily and what do I do if I don’t and do I need to do this in the shower because after moisturising in the shower my hair curls up a lot
Hello there! Yes. You can use sprays and/or creams daily if you hair needs it. Do you know your moisturize cycle? Meaning, how long your hair can go before it need more moisture? You can check out this video --> th-cam.com/video/g8nAxafl11Q/w-d-xo.html No. You don't have to do it in the shower. You can even consider doing it at night before bed as well. Not right before bed, but sometimes when you hydrate at night or while in the house you don't have to go outside and your hair has to face all of the environmental elements.
How beautiful are the feet (& hair😉) of those who bring good news! (Rom 15:10). Lady Karen, that's you. God blessed you, and sent you to me. THANK you, so very much, for the most insightful videos, yet. Another silver fox is born!🤩🥳🤗Blessings.🙏🙋🥳
These are amongst the best videos that I have seen. You give great breakdowns. You do not speak to quickly, and your tone is not too high in pitch. Thanks for using the blinds as an example and speaking in plain english. New subscriber! ❤
Hello, I have a question concerning your explanations. Whan do we put the oil to lock in the moisture? Do we apply the oil When we have the moisturizing product on the hair o do we apply it once we have rinsed the product off the hair? Thanks 💎
Hey there! Check out these videos for answers: th-cam.com/video/4TTiae0aygA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OK3sxyMsUxQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/mT4zrQS8BYM/w-d-xo.html
Karen, you look beautiful with longer grey curls! Thank you for the video. Question, I heard that “yellow products” stain grey hair, such as jojoba oil. Would the grape seed oil be better in this case. I’m not a fan of heavy oils, so I appreciate your suggestions. 😘
Hi Jeanine! Thank you so much! This grey hair is now part of me!!!! Thanks again!! So yes, some yellow products/ingredients may stain the hair. So grape seed and almond oils are great suggestions. They tend to be more clear or very very pale yellow. Even refined jojoba oil is colorless (and a little more expensive). I always recommend -- if it ain't broke don't fix it. So if what you are doing now works for you (using limited oil) then keep on doing what you're doing. 🤗
This video is amazing, I have low porosity hair and it’s very thick I have tried so many things and now I understand why it seemed to dry out so quickly. When it comes to sealing the moisture in, would the jojoba oil work good on thick hair?
Hey there! Yes! You can certainly use jojoba oil. That's my favorite! Here are a few others: th-cam.com/users/shortsyVtjzAs7pOc th-cam.com/video/yb_blSqRDq4/w-d-xo.html
@@MariaJ4848 YES YES YES! Our staple product, growth drops! Can you use for YT15 to get 15% off at check out as well: curlhouse.com/products/follicle-stimulating-growth-drops
Hello Karen I have a question I have heard that low porosity hair should be washed with water is warm as you can stand it and it will open your hair to receive moisture better. Is this true?
Hi Jean! General rule of thumb: Warm water opens the cuticle, so should be used at the beginning of wash day so rinse hair, then apply shampoo and rinse with warm water; warm water also helps to remove dirt and buildup on the hair. Cold/cool water should be used when rinsing out conditioner because it helps to close the cuticle. Hope this helps 🤗
I have tried to pause to get the name of the sprayer moisturizer but was unsuccessful. What’s the name of the water spray moisturizer in the purple bottle?
Hi Luciua! That’s the Curl House Hair Nourishing Leave In Conditioner. It’s in my store or on the website curlhouse.com/products/hair-nourishing-leave-in-conditioner
Loved this very informative video. Thanks. Quick question: Once I moisturize my hair, does it matter if my hair is wet or dry when I seal it with oil? I ask because I usually add the leave in after getting out of shower.
Yay? Fabulous! You can seal on wet or dry hair. Typically your hair will be either wet or damp because you will add the oil/butter over the moisturizer which is water based. Hope that makes sense 🤗
What do you do if your hair hates oil 😂that’s my biggest problem now is having a oil to seal in that moisture.would u recommend a water based gel?they say gel helps seal in moisture
Hey Aye! I am going to post a video in a few hours all about hair oils for sealing. So stay tuned for it! So does your hair hate all oil? I tend to put styling products in the 'style' category. Some gels are very hydrating like Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic is very hydrating because of the humectants like glycerin. So you can try that if you want something that will keep our hair hydrating.
@@AyeJordan7 Ok... hold tight...video scheduled for one hour! You may need thicker oils or butters like shea butter, cocoa butter, or even hair grease (very heavy, depending on porosity and thickness)
@@KarenofCurlHouse I have low porosity and I used shea butter.I jus don’t think oils and heavy butters is for me,I probably need a water based gel to hold in something light
Hi Doretha! I typically suggest room temperature water as warm water opens the cuticle and cold water closes it. Now you will get the best results if your hair strand is CLEAN. Keep in mind the water strand test is NOT scientific -- it should be used as a general guide to determine porosity. Also, porosity can change as hair turns grey because grey hair is typically more porous. (But some people don't notice a difference in their hair's porosity after going grey -- gray hair is in the 'gray' area! LOL! In addition to that, the sebaceous glands don't secrete the same amount of sebum (natural oil) so the hair is more dry. I will be producing some videos coming soon solely dedicated to gray hair.
Is it possible to have a mixture? High porosity or low porosity? I honestly use to wonder why my hair seems so dry. I started doing just that water or peppermint water and oils. The best decision I made for my hair. I will be re-locking my hair again my hair grew tremendously just by locking and leaving it alone. Thank you so much for your videos🙏😊
Thank you so much Jacquelyn!!! Yes! My hair is ABSOLUTELY low porosity -- and add the grey on top on that which makes it super dry! LOL! I use several brands for maintenance and moisture -- starting with my own -- Curl House Hair Restoration Collection, which includes a light spray leave-in conditioner; I work with clients with slow growing hair and scalp issues so the entire line to geared toward scalp care and growth. I also like Uncle Funky's Daughter liquid spray and cream moisturizers. I also use their styling gel Curly Magic for my curl definition. Design Essential Daily Moisturizing Lotion is good as well -- packed full of glycerin and great for moisture. I typically order my oils from Essential Wholesale -- I really trust the quality of their oils. I think I will do a whole video on products soon too, because I use alot! 😛

I also like Uncle Funky's Daughter liquid spray and cream moisturizers. I also use their styling gel Curly Magic for my curl definition. Design Essential Daily Moisturizing Lotion is good as well -- packed full of glycerin and great for moisture. I typically order my oils from Essential Wholesale -- I really trust the quality of their oils. I think I will do a whole video on products soon too, because I use alot! 😛
