I know this video on hair porosity is extensive, and I hope sincerely that you don't feel overloaded or overwhelmed with information. I covered details for low porosity, medium or normal porosity, and high porosity, as well as what products help, what can alter your porosity, and the differences between natural porosity, mechanically induced porosity, and chemically induced porosity changes. As I stated in the beginning of the video, there was a lot to unpack!
If you find this video to be helpful, please share it with a friend or family member you think would benefit from this information. Understanding and catering to the needs of your porosity impacts the hair in a positive way, allowing you to see hair growth, as well as length retention.
Until next time, have an amazing day, take care, God bless, and stay glam!
You know I love you boo,
Linwood

Do you believe that a lot of naturals mistakenly believe they have low porosity hair due to product build up? I’ve gone back to regularly washing my hair with a Sulfate shampoo and I’m realizing that my hair is actually high porosity but because I had been using so much grease and oil, water had a difficult time penetrating my strands.

[@christy7516]

I believe it too ! Especially TGIN it causes too much buildup almost every product of theirs is heavy on silicones and thick oils it's too much . I think it's also responsible for people saying their hair is not curly ..

[@rjones4748]

Are you in my head? Wow! After watching a quarter of the way through I'm sitting here thinking maybe I just have product build up and may not truly be low porosity 🤔

[@smileymileys100]

Yes but remember were supposed to clarify with a sulfate shampoo at least once per month. So if you use a sulfate free shampoo regularly you should be alternating it with a sulfate shampoo every other wash day or once per month at least.

[@renekanelson7538]

I learned so much just 15 minutes into the video and one thing I stopped doing is using protein

[@GetGlamFam]

Grey has a tendency to be coarse or wiry, its part of it's composition. White hair tends to be much more delicate though. A hair steamer is an excellent way to get more moisture in, make sure that when styling you opt for low heat or no heat options, so you don't scorch the hair or cause it to yellow. Violet shampoos can help with removing mild yellowing, but not extreme cases.

[@user-lenise876]

Hi Elizabeth. I had a serious scalp issue and was using all kinds of medicated shampoos and scalp treatments. I had scabs around the hairline, especially at the front. I eventually moved from the area I was living and could no longer go to my usual, salon so I had to change salon. The first thing I noticed at this new salon was that these ladies never put their fingers into their products, they sanitized a lot...comb dropped on the floor and it was sanitized. Client leaves the chair its sanitized. Well 2 months after going there I had the most healthy scalp to this day...13 years later. I tell this story to everyone with scalp issues. Look into your environment to see if there is anything you can change.....unless its internal.

I rewet with aloe water and protein spray and butters and twist again. My hair is so loving this routine...stays so shiny and defined. Thank you for assuring I’m on the right track. ♥️

Best video on porosity I have ever seen! I feel like all my years of research were in this one video!😂 high porosity w/locs

[@ah4856]

The demo with the blinds to describe the cuticle layer and the differences between low, medium, and high porosity was brilliant! And the use of body heat for high porosity hair when deep conditioning just saved me from buying a steam cap! It never occurred to me that since the cuticle scales (those are the things that open and close on the cuticle) are already open I don't need to blast it with outside heat, either wet or dry, to get moisture into the shaft. Also the explanation on using apple cider vinegar mixed with water gave me an "a ha" moment: now I know why my hair (high) feels so soft and smooth when rinsing with that concoction. I knew I loved your channel for a reason! I learn so much from watching.

[@viviandedeaux4715]

Well, look at you..teaching people!!! I'm so glad i happened on your videos. I've seen 2 now. I do intend to re-visit them. You give an abundance of, much needed info. I've always been into hair, and I've learned alittle "sumthin". U are such a pro. Everyone can NOT teach! I can relate, and understand, so much of what ur saying. Thank you so much for your videos. I'll be checking out more!😉😊

I’m so glad I found this video. I have high porosity hair and just been struggling with it. Taking notes and making a plan because I was ready to give up on my natural hair. Thank you ❤

My absolute pleasure! Thanks for watching!

First of all, thank you so much for your video. You are an excellent teacher and this is one of the best videos on hair care that I have seen. I am going to download your information packet so that I can read that too. I knew something was not right with my hair and I could not figure out what the issue was but after watching your video, I realized what I need to think about. I was alternating between co-washing and washing, but never really seeing my products absorb properly and like you said, I can actually see the products sitting on the surface of my hair but not really absorbing enough to seem like it was doing any good. I am using the As I am line right now which I really like, but I never did the clarifying shampoo initially before starting with that brand. So after your video, I went back and ordered the clarifying shampoo and I am going to try that now. After listening to you, I really believe that it is the product buildup that I have that is causing my issues (I am age 56 and fully transitioned). I am really happier with the natural hair now as opposed to the relaxed hair, but I feel like I am still trying to learn how to manage it. I know I will be much happier once I get this down pat, but thanks again for your video. You really know how to speak to an audience and get your points across. Thanks

My hair is naturally higher-porosity, but after all my chemical abuse... I think a sidewalk in July holds water longer. Friends oft' think I've coloured my hair when they see it wet, because it's about three shades darker than normal. But I'm learning how to seal in the moisture better, all thanks to you. You are such an amazing teacher. Your actual students are so lucky to have you.

[@GetGlamFam]

Thank you so very much! I am so grateful that you are learning from the videos! 😊🙏🏽❤️
