This is so true! I went to an actual hair salon last year for my friend’s wedding and the hair stylist was like, your hair is high porosity babes; it needs moisture right now. I was sitting in the chair so confused. Like you said in the beginning of this video, there is a spectrum within African/black hair but all in all it’s high porosity. Either way it’s beautiful and fun learning more and more about it.

This actually explains a lot. When my hair has no products in it it dries super fast and feels very brittle which is a characteristic of high porosity hair. Low porosity hair needs no or really light products but light products don’t last as long for my wash n gos when I layer heavy oils and products on it feels and looks really good. And most of us type 4 naturals love heavy products. I used to think my hair was low porosity because it takes forever for my hair to get wet but I realized that it has more to do with the thickness and shrinkage of my hair then the porosity of it. I am also prone to build up, but I think it’s mostly because I use gentle shampoos most of the time which can lead to product to build up if you don’t clarify when needed. It all makes since now

Excellent presentation! I’ve always known I was high porosity. I’d like to add that in addition or in place of protein, Henna acts like a protein and fills in the gaps of the cuticle, provides a coating if you will, and weighs down the hair. I used to use a light protein, the aphogee 2 minute reconstructor, every wash day. I also used the other one that hardens the hair once a quarter. But NOTHING has benefited my hair in terms of filling in those gaps like Henna. It’s weighty, it retains moisture better, and my strands are very strong! I know some think of it as a hair dye, but if you have dark hair, like most of us kinky girls, then you will not notice much color change. You can actually add coffee to your mixture to make a dark brown tint appear on your hair. But if you have a lot of gray, not so much. Anyway, just putting that out there. Again, great video! 🌺🌸💕

Hi! this was great information. Another thing I noticed when I washed my hair a few days ago was that when I ran a strand of my hair through my fingers I could feel the bumps. It would go thin, thick, thin. thick, etc. I feel that is another indicator of our high porosity strands. I also did a protein treatment prior to deep conditioning and my hair felt so wonderfully soft after I blowdried it. This might help anyone who loves silk presses but I've noticed on myself that if I do a thorough wash followed by a true protein treatment prior to heat styling, I don't get heat damage.

Thank you. I have mostly type 3a hair with a little 3b and 2c. My 3b haïr is very shiny and curls more springy. The rest grows down, not out and the wave or curl does not reach the scalp. I’ve learned to rinse shampoo out with warm water to open the hair shaft and apply conditioner. However, I use cold water to rinse out conditioner and seal the shaft. My hair is much shinier using this routine. From childhood we used only the lightest cream on my hair, even VO5 was too heavy. This is different hair from type 4 and requires different treatment. I can use a hear protectant and blow dry my hair straight, smooth and shiny without heat damage. I rarely use a flat iron since my hair dries straight and brings oil from scalp with few drops of oil used. Therefore, warning about heat damage to type 4 hair will not and does not apply to me. My hair is strong, healthy and shiny with very little oil, just a few drops of light oil after 3/4 days from shampoo. So type 4 coily girls , please don’t judge my hair to be like your hair. Listen to this good advice and work with what grows out of your head. I’m MGM by the way. When my hair needs washing it is greasy and stringy, not frizzy. I can get an extra day between shampoos with dry shampoo because it dries out the oil.

This is finally the exact info I needed! I watched the video a week ago. Immediately I started using a light oil at night before putting my rollers (5 for a nice loose curl) in, the next morning I put one pump of serum. After 5 days my hair is so shiny (not oily, my hair drinks the oil) it has a heaviness (in a good way) which enables it to fight frizziness and puffiness! I didn’t have tangles in my natural hair roller set, so I run my fingers only to style my curls. Monday I wash, mask, condition, leave in conditioner, roller set, oil, roll, tie up in silk scarf.

Scalp inflammation causes hair loss and which was the main reason I went to see the trichologists. I don't use glycerin in winter. I can't wear long term protective styles.

@1GoldenBreeze7 ай бұрын
Great research! You are going to have me trying to figure out my hair's porosity something I've never even thought about before. One thing I can say at this point is on the porosity spectrum my hair is most likely normal porosity based on the videos that Green Beauty did about porosity, and what you said in this video about product application and the kinds of products we use. My hair doesn't like any raw oil or butter that isn't formulated within a product. I use light leave-ins or hair milk with twisted or updo styles and light or spray leave-ins with my WnG. Sometimes I don't use any leave-in under the gel for my WnG. I don't moisturize between washes. When I shampooed weekly as opposed to every 3 - 4 days like I do now I still didn't need to re-moisturise. Your moisturizing technique would have my hair looking like an oil slick and the product would be soaking into my clothing looking for somewhere to go because my hair would not soak it up. Whenever you show clips of "Somebody's Auntie" the girl with the lioness mane, I crack up. Her hair is beautiful, but it is quite the chameleon. You should see what her hair looks like when wet.

This was really interesting! I have a question. Does all afro hair dry quickly or does it usually take a long time to dry? I ask this because my hairdressing book says that high porosity (I think it meant from damage, not natural) hair takes a long time to dry. I have a friend with healthy curly/afro hair, she is mixed race. She washed her hair at my house and asked me to detangle it for her. Her hair was dry by the time she came down stairs after getting dressed. The very bleached haired women in my class said their hair takes a very long time to dry. My question is does yours dry quickly? If it does, why does it take longer for damaged porous hair compared to healthy porous hair? Also why do the hair books not talk about healthy porous hair?

The books were never inclusive of Afro textured hair until recently. I don’t know what everyone hair is doing and how quickly it drys etc but as a general rule of thumb highly porous hair holds a lot of water for a short while …it may hold on to it for a moment but long term, the moisture leaves the hair quicker than low porosity hair. My hair dries quickly without product but with layering and oils etc it can take days!

@@esthertjones I think oils are great for hair and from the little I’ve seen them do it seems to really work for them. It’s almost like a ritual of self care. Let’s me know any specific content creators you would be keen on🌺

I was only able to get synthetic glycerin everywhere I look. I don't think it works the same.

Ahhhh sure! Sorry I forgot 🤔. They are in the initial porosity vid I did but will add them here as well
thankyou for sharing how can I make protein natural at home
@CoilyDiaries7 ай бұрын
Am no expert on that. The proteins that are made at home as DIY are great for coating the hair but usually don’t penetrate the hair shaft. I have done a video on true proteins

Damn So God gave us raised cuticles with few layers AND put is in hot climates??!! Guess the jokes on us! Do you have recommendations for silk protein conditioners?

I don’t look at it like that. He gave us the most unique hair on the planet. Shea Moisture has good ones. I’ll have a video on this soon

@@CoilyDiaries Agreed it’s most unique and very beautiful - I love my fluffy cottony hair. But it’s def also most fragile and it’s ironic that our hair has the least natural protection but much of the African diaspora are in hot climates. Look forward to your video on protein treatments 😊

I was taught that the main two functions of Afro hair was meant to shield our ancestors scalps from the sun while being in that hot climate And that if we properly moisturize it with oils and butters, and let it air dry it would keep your hair wet for a few days the wet hair would keep our ancestors cooled off while simultaneously keeping your hair healthy. God knew what he was doing when he created us

I think they used the the african with the least amount of cuticles or most fragile hair. Aint noway this is an accurate representation of off African type hair. I dont believe that. Also strand size plays a role. And youre teaching like its Good News. Has anyone seen Green beauty's video on this?
@CoilyDiaries7 ай бұрын
it wasn’t one person. it’s all suspects whose hair was seen under the microscope! I think knowledge is powerful and I present the data. if you have trouble learning and unlearning that’s on you 🤷🏽♀️. green beauty also speaks on this being a possibility

Didnt you think this presentation was quite biased? And is passing our image to other unsuspecting minds as inferior hair in the name of supposed science?
@CoilyDiaries7 ай бұрын
do your own research or let it be it’s up to you. biased in what way? I presented my thoughts and findings. we hate truth and like to sit in ignorance because it makes us feel better. our hair is the most unique hair on earth inferior how? because you have a raised cuticle😅 . our hair does what other hair types can never do inferior?
