Thanks for the video! Much needed info on hydration. I used to wonder why my hair seemed to drink moisturizers and my friend literally goes a week without moisturizing. This clears it up. I'm definitely a layer girl and I seal with Blue Magic! Its changed my hair game 😂

[@ClaimedQT]

Sealing with blue magic is life

[@Molly-iw1rc]

💕💕💕I'm low porosity but I lose moisture fast. If I drench my hair it will take all day to completely dry, but just moisturizing doesn't stay at all

[@terrellfstephens]

Same with me. It’s frustrating, especially now that I have significant grey all over (particularly on my sides), and that hair is really hard to manage.

[@YouKnowMeDuh]

@@terrellfstephens If i recall right, grey hair is supposed to be high porosity. I can't imagine how i'd manage my hair if I had multiple porosities at once to deal with!

[@terrellfstephens]

Serite Ross Oh, it’s SO hard! Pre-poo is absolutely essential, though, and hair grease...don’t knock the hair grease. Once you get the moisture in there, grease seals it right in there!

[@CamilleJack]

I have learnt so much from your channel and I appreciate that you don't just promote 'products' but you promote what does the work in the product. I can truly be a naturalista on a budget. Thanks to you and your knowledge. Keep educating us.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Thank you!! 💜

[@jhodi9165]

Listen!!!! This is my first time watching any of your content. I paused the video halfway through to comment! I Love you already!!!! The moment you described the Level 2 hydration I knew you were competent with your knowledge. EVERYBODY and their mama been saying your low porosity light oils, light creams, light light light I've been natural for 4 years and only 1 month ago I out sheer curiosity tried Olive oil. I felt like I've been conned and misinformed for years!!!! Granted iIdo understand the learning curb seeing that most of us just didnt know and was going with what we have been taught. Thank You for sharing I'm going to proceed to finish the video now and binge-watch your other content lol

[@dominique4432]

Gotta take thickness into consideration with porosity. Ppl with low porosity hair that recommend light everything will usually have lower density, finer strands or looser textures

[@naseeha101]

I’d love a video on porosity and changing hair from high to low!

[@melanievia]

Thanks for the tip about layering. I think that's the step I'm missing right now. My hair feels great for 2 days, but by day 3 it's like tumbleweeds.

[@nikkis.9747]

You were on point with the high porosity. My hair is not damaged at all and is naturally high porosity. I definitely layer my products: shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, liquid moisturizer, then a light moisturizing gel. When I restyle in between shampoos, I just rinse thoroughly then reapply the leave-in conditioner, moisturizer, and gel. All of the products I use are water-based, but they do contain oils, fatty alcohols, and butters. With this routine, my hair stays moisturized in between shampoos (every 4-5 days). If I restyle in between shampoos, it's only because I want it to look fresh, not because it's dry, so the layering is quite effective.

[@CapriRose.]

[@Rita-23]

I'm in the 3rd group. Yes, layering!! For me, hair grease is the best sealant. With the layering, moisture for days!!

[@beaveramenzell5450]

Thanks, very much for making this video! Since I watched The P.M.P. Method video, I wondered how much should our hair receive hydration. Based on the information presented in this video, I'm a CHL 2. Because I can go 2 days without hydration, that tells me that if my wash day is Saturday... The next time I'll layer my hair will be Tuesday.

[@TaeKat]

Okay that conditioner in the water tip is on my list!!

[@cherainee5160]

When you say 'thick hair' do you mean how much hair we have or the thickness of the strands? My individual strands are fine, but I have endless amount of strands, giving me thick hair.

[@Carpathianpixie]

Thickness usually refers to the size of the strands. Density is how many of those strands are on your head.

[@faithfully_melanie6481]

That explains why I was able to have moisturized twists for two weeks with only a leave-in conditioner

[@CurlyChemistry]

[@nleno3009]

GlamFam sent me here (I just found their channel). This blessed me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@ShelliesSpot]

Ok I have a quick question. Can I be a #3 without having thick hair?? My hair is finer and it’s only visible when I plank it up and I see how the thickness of my braids. However, I have to moisturize, seal and braid or twist my hair up nightly to keep it soft and manageable. I feel you’re so right that it can change from 3 to 1 because I’m doing the protein treatment biweekly and deep conditioning weekly and I’m noticing that the moisture level is improving. So I’m going to also start implementing ACV rinsing and rice water too. Do you have a rice water video?? I’m a RN and I am here so the facts you’re sharing and not just opinion. Thanks so much for your educational videos 😍😘

[@KizzyRanatha]

[@courtneyddp]

Hi Tonya, for high porosity hair you say we should stay away from humectants - what’s exactly would those be?

[@realuniversity1140]

I'm so thankful to GlamFam which is where I found the link to your channel, and I agree with another commenter that you pack a lot of good and useful information in a short clip❤️❤️❤️💯 I do have a question for clarity to know which porosity is my curl: Is my porosity high since my hair dries fast after washing, and is considered a fine texture, yet holds moisture in the hair after applying products but not on my scalp because my scalp is always dry? Thank you for teaching and taking the time to care.❤

[@tywanbrown3034]

Hi Beautiful I hope you Year is off to a great start. Thanks so much for this helpful information. My hair seems to be going through some changes since last summer so I’m slowly trying to get it back on the right track

Angela Brewer Yay!! You’re so welcome!! 💕

[@TheWaterlily18]

Wow! Learning so much! I'm high porosity. My question is if I close the cuticle with ACV, how will my strands adhere to the layering process? Would I need to reopen the cuticles before layering after the ACV rinse? Thank you for all this great info!

[@rlight7666]

Good question. I have HP hair and need to understand how and when to use ACV rinse

[@nattylew5058]

I was thinking the same thing but I'm assuming the acv rinse which closes the cuticles starts the layering process to seal in moisture

[@iambloopy]

When you have HP hair your cuticles are very open. An ACV rinse will help to close up your cuticles a little bit so that your hair can retain moisture a little bit better. Having to reopen them is not necessary as it defeats the purpose of using ACV & also because your cuticles are not completely closed. I hope I was able to help you, even if it's just a little bit? 😅

[@serenabrown7012]

Hi! Thank you for all of your videos they are so very informative and teaching and I love that they are not lengthy but packed with loads of needed info. I'm not quite sure which level I fall under as I have mixed porosity hair that is more high porosity than low or regular. In addition, my curls are 4b fine medium density. Although my hair appears thick and full it is rather the opposite and does not retain moisture for more than a day or two and my ends are often dryno matter what I do. 😞 Which level would you say my hair falls under and any suggestions on the best remedy for my dry ends?

[@SAS-tn4zn]

I love love love ACV. I use to suffer from dandruff. But once I started using ACV it got my dandruff problem under control.

[@paigefinley1383]

Can you do a video on low porosity hair and the best ingredients for all of the things we use on our hair (prepoo, shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner, moisturizers, oils/ butters, gels and styling products etc.)? Also can you talk about the right way to use these products and how the ingredients work in combination please?

Aloe vera juice-moisture, but closes the cuticle (due to low ph). Coconut Oil- penetrates to strengthen the hair, but not too heavy. Sunflower or jojoba oil- to seal the cuticle.

Hi I love your channel, I have a question when it comes to Aloe Vera some people say it is a protein treatment. So is it beneficial to apply to low porosity hair regularly and does it have a lot of protein like for example rice water etc?

[@iambloopy]

Protein treatments are to be used sparingly for low porosity hair The purpose of a protein treatment is to repair, strengthen and close up the hair cuticle and to do that to low porosity hair frequently will make it harder for your hair to absorb moisture.
