@@carolinenakitto2292 I used to have high porosity hair when I was relaxed, but now it’s around the normal range. But no, my videos are geared towards natural hair care in general.

Hello. Can you please do a video about elastic hair? Like my hair has become too elastic and I read that I need to do a protein treatment and/or cut my spilt ends... so I would just like to know about it because I would love my hair thicker and fuller.

This was so insighful! I have been using hot water when washing my hair for years and as such my hair has been dried out for years. Thought I needed to do this to get product out of my hair. Stopping this madness today!

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Great to hear 👌🏾 Warm water is effective enough to remove product build up and dirt, but it’s more about the shampoo that’s going to get the job done. But I’m glad my video was useful.

[@bunnyblue9311]

I have fine high porosity hair, I do blow dry once every 6-8 weeks for protective styling.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

That’s not too bad. Just as long as the temperature isn’t too high and your hair is protected using a heat protectant.

me too. I started using Ms. Jessie, baby butter for my daily curl light conditioner and wash and mask with mielle rosemary mint. use Camille Rose conditioner custard. and so far, very good. I use Aphogee leave in pro vitamin to refresh my curls, and so far, so good.

Also materials we use to tie our hair cause breakage. Satin is recommended.

[@somebodycomelistentothispo7217]

With the hair dyes I find that black hair isn’t as damaging for hi po girls because it’s not stripping color but it is adding color. I usually dye mine black and don’t have problems with my very high po hair.

[@somebodycomelistentothispo7217]

@@kellygoodman6167 You have to strip your natural color to deposit blonde. It will be drier and more tangled and prone to breakage. It requires more care and maintenance but I have seen people pull it off with no problems.

[@alisameireis3628]

Great tips….Thank you!! It is now Winter and I have started using Petroleum Jelly to seal my hair before putting in twists. Never did this before but got desperate once cold, dry weather turned my strands into desert straws. I love it!!!! Not greasy like oils and especially effective for keeping the ends moisturized. Doesn’t take a lot and my strands look great when I take the twists down to moisturize. (I wear head wraps and never wear my hair out in Winter.) Not sure I’ll use Petroleum Jelly in Spring and Summer bec I roll with WnG when it’s warm…but, I’m loving it for now to keep my hair moisturized!! ❤

[@daniellaspace1617]

Should I stay away from steaming. I saw a KZbinr say steaming was good for high porosity hair. Should I avoid it unless I'm deep conditioning or is it ok to use when detangling? Love the content 💓

[@bellal5234]

@daniellaspace I would avoid any type of heat since heat opens hair shafts. The reason why steams are so highly promoted is because it works best for normal and low porosity individuals who are trying to get their hair shafts open to absorb the products. Since high porosity is caused by the hair shafts being more open than it should be, we need to find methods that will close it or create a seal. Heavy conditioners, moisturizers, oils, and cold water is best for high porosity. Doing your hair in the LCO method and using a heavy grease like Blue Magic to seal your hair (not just your scalp) works wonders for my hair. The cold water will help your hair shafts to close a little as well. If you must use hot/warm water during wash days - try to keep the water lukewarm or room temperature, just be sure that your final rinses are with cold water.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! Sorry I’m late with the reply, only just seen it 😩 Yes, it’s ok to use heat (steamer) when deep conditioning, but avoid it or lay low on using other heat appliances.

Do you add moisture back into the hair after blow drying it? Are u wearing your blow dried hair under protective styles. Blow drying is pretty drying, so you have to replenish moisture, especially if you’re frequently blow drying.

[@Lee-wb8mt]

I do protein treatments or henna treatments once a month, followed by a very moisturizing deep conditioner on the same day!

[@buchiashiedu5809]

Thank you for this explanation. I just did a big chop where i shaved off all of my hair because it wasn’t growing. I wanna say that I do have high porosity hair because i over use products that have different kinds of ingredients that I use on my hair, as well as washing it with hot water and using different types of shampoos/ conditioner. As well as blowdrying and combing it everyday. I believe that is what caused me to have high hair porosity because I’m an impatient person and I don’t know what my hair likes. I want to be able to use natural products. Or would it be best to not be any products on my hair? Right now my hair is shaved so should I wait until it starts to grow out?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

You’re very welcome! If it’s completely bald, then you don’t have to worry so much about using products. However, once your hair starts to grow, you will want to start using them. But keep it simple and stick to one product at a time.

[@cameoj1470]

[@mariafisca6114]

Sis, please what’s your view on msm and washing your hair every 2 weeks (high porosity hair)

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Hey, MSM is good since it’s known to help extend the growing phase and can be taken orally (mixed with a drink) or added to an oil. Also, it’s perfectly fine to wash your hair every 2 weeks, but if there’s lots of build up, then you can wash it sooner.

[@mariafisca6114]

Ohk Thank you very much Please what’s your advice in washing and doing treating your hair in mini braids

[@HealthyAfroHair]

@@mariafisca6114 You’re welcome! Personally, I think twists are better because it’s not as tight as braids, so will allow the shampoo & deep conditioner to get between the hair more easily. But you can give both a try to see what works best.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Hey, happy to hear my video was useful. No Keratin treatments don’t have any benefits in helping high porosity hair, as it requires the use of lots of heat and is quite a lengthy process. But once the hair is straightened, it apparently can last for up to 6 months.

If I do a protein treatment on my wash day, what do I do for the second week, another protein treatment or deep conditioner?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Deep conditioning treatments involves using protein (with heat) to treat your hair, so it’s not two separate things. So when doing your protein treatments, depending on the strength of it, you may need to follow it up with a moisturising treatment to prevent your hair from becoming too dry or hard.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

…also, depending on how your hair feels with determine whether you need more protein or moisturising treatments. Hope that makes sense.

[@rosemaryvyslouzil6249]

You should deep condition your hair after the protein treatment to add moisture back in🙏🏼

[@banishcaderilus5197]

So since i bleach my hair and dyed it been at like 5 months can i dye it back to Black or no keep it blonde

[@HealthyAfroHair]

If you want your hair to naturally return back to its natural colour, you would have to fully grow it out until all the colour is gone. But if you can’t wait, then yes, there’s the option to dye it black, but that means adding more chemicals to your hair.
