Brilliant video. Very informative. I have medium porosity. So I was struggling for a long while to find my porosity. ..when in actual fact I had medium porosity...so some viewers should take note that they may not be high or low porosity...but medium. And not a lot of videos are done for medium porosity hair.
I love that you point out that pattern isn't everything and that you can have multiple textures. You are lucky that your nape is 4c my nape is 3b -I have to pin up that section to keep it from hanging down my back. I also have type 2 in the front-everything else is a type 4 mix. Great vid! Subscribed! Learning to style LP-course-high density hair is a struggle, looking forward to a week of vids.
Mines were on medium-low volume and boy did I jump x'D I'm not even on headphones- I turned my volume down ofc..and I saw this comment and give it a like ahahaha!!
when i came across you video and looking at your hair, i told my self she has my type of hair, and hearing you describe your front hair, sis, it is on point.
This was a really good informative video. I wish there were more video like this when i first went natural. Cyn doll also shares a lot of knowledge about the science of hair and porosity.
I am a 3 type and watch 4 type videos, not for styling, but more for techniques. Since so many other factors play into how I care for my hair. Great video.
TFS. I totally agree with you on all points. My journey was rough until I figured out my hair. I learned a lot from your past struggles. Managing your expectations is important. I knew that I wasn't going to miraculously sprout type 3 hair after going natural nor was any product going to produce that affect.
thanks 4 breaking down the components of the hair , I have a better understanding now. athis will help me in applying my products. yes I agree wit u on hair types we do have different types in our hair, u really made that plain. lookn 4ward 2 the rest of the series.
Super helpful video!! I definitely have low porosity , coarse textured , medium -high density type 4 curls (it's finer in the very back and coarse pretty much everywhere else)
Honestly, I drove myself crazy trying to pinpoint my porosity. I just gave it up and started to pay attention to how particular products and techniques worked on my hair. I do a little of All the various porosity techniques. I just concluded that my hair has all of the porosities. I am certain that my ends are different from my roots. My crown is different from my sides. Also, I don’t follow people with looser curl patterns. They don’t need as much moisture and weight as us coily, sebum challenged girls. And the detangling is waaaay different. Someone’s curl pattern is the first thing I look at in determining if I will watch. I don’t care what their porosity, density or so on is.
I have fine strands and low density I definitely can't use alot of product and I only manipulate my hair on wash day to help prevent breakage. I had to really learn about my hair after I had to cut 4 inches off my hair. It wasn't from not trimming regularly it was from how rough I was handling my fine low dense strands. I leave my hair in 2 flat twists these days since low manipulation is best for me.
im low to medium porosity with medium to high density and 4b-4c in some areas😭 i recently purchased a deep conditioning cap so we’ll see how that works out
Are you trying TGINs new line? I’m a high density low to normal porosity, fine strands type 4 with a section or 2 of 3c. I think in summer my hair switches to high porosity bc I can’t keep it hydrated enough so that’s when I protective style typically. But heavy products work fine bc I have a lot of hair. Thin and fine probably shouldn’t use heavier products.
DevineSerenity thanks for watching. I think no what porosity you are you can benefit from watching my channel. Like you said you just have to change things up
I've tried the porosity test and it still doesn't help me. For one, I do have fine textured hair and it takes no time to get it wet. Plus, it dries just as fast. I don't like to buy a lot of products because I learned from my mom to not be wasteful. Frustrating!!!!
Black Beauty the dry fast makes it seem like you have high porosity. Low porosity takes forever to dry. I think it’s best to see how your hair reacts versus doing a test because you can’t physically test every strand in your head
Yes. Just learn your *own* hair. Everything we see online is just a suggestion.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
How many years did I waste trying to have my hair perform like others who did not have hair like mine? Too many.
kittyskid1 amen 🙏🏾

Stephney Pink the ultimate goal is medium porosity. Don’t want to struggle to get or hold moisture

TFS!! If you could just lower the volume on the intro please?
Veritas Pryde it’s the same volume it’s been on every other 100 videos and nobody complain. You can just lower your volume 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
@@OneSmartFro Hi, I've also noticed that it's quite loud too. Especially for headphone users x
Mines were on medium-low volume and boy did I jump x'D I'm not even on headphones- I turned my volume down ofc..and I saw this comment and give it a like ahahaha!!

I don't even watch the videos with very loose curls because of my hair is type 4 and it won't help me
Great information. I have high Porosity, medium density and I love watching your video.
Lady Bianca thanks for watching 😘

Jack In The.Making thanks and thanks for watching
Very informative sis and it was interesting seeing the different hair types that you have in your head. Great video!!
Great video, very informative. 🥰
Thank you for this. I am low porosity, medium strand and density.

You could be missing out on helpful tips if your only focus on curl pattern.
I love your hair. Very nice wash n go. Great info!
Jennifer Lee aww thank you!
Thanks for explaining 😊
I need to figure these things out about my hair
Ironica Sellers it definitely helps and saves money
What matters=what just works for you and your hair.
Thank you!!!
Low porosity, fine, medium/high density hair. I only do wash and goes.
I have fine strands and low density I definitely can't use alot of product and I only manipulate my hair on wash day to help prevent breakage.

A week of uploads🙌🙌🙌
Larissa Speaight 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴 lol. Jk jk. Gotta be focus. Lol
Have you tried scrunching your front? Typically looser curls scrunch to get it more curly.
bbappzz98 I do but it honestly doesn’t make that much of a difference
@@OneSmartFro :/ that's some stubborn curls.
im low to medium porosity with medium to high density and 4b-4c in some areas😭 i recently purchased a deep conditioning cap so we’ll see how that works out
I’m going to talk more about deep conditioning caps in my deep conditioning video.
One Smart Fro cant wait!! :)
What channel did you recommend?
Green beauty
Great video💕 I'm a low porosity girl with high density hair and multiple curl patterns.
