Ms. I don't know if you know how much all of the hard work you put into your research and videos is greatly appreciated. EVERYTHING you say makes perfect sense and you deliver them with unopinionated facts. I make reference to a 300-page long herbal medicine bible from time to time when I have aches and pain. I hope you will put out a natural hair bible in the future. You certainly have already written the content.

NappyFu TV I saw that video NappyFu. the oil itself is hydrophobic so it wouldn't contain protein. but coconut like all nuts have protein in it but the protein isn't in the oil, it's in the milk/water. protein can end up in the oil if the oil has not been refined properly. but that's essentially what's in your video

My sister had the opposite issue with her daughter’s hair. She’s biracial but her hair is straight and behaves like white hair. She had no idea what to do with her hair. 😂 My daughter (also mixed) has hair kind of in between. My biggest struggle has been convincing my husband’s parents how important moisturizer is to my kids’ hair and that the unmanageably was because of the type of combs and brushes they were using. My kids don’t have hair as curly as mine but it’s not as straight as my white FIL’s is or Native MIL’s was. They can’t use fine toothed combs or the same brushes they do. Plus my kids are part me, they need moisturizer, not the same type or amount as me, but it is needed. Almost 14 years and it’s still a battle sometimes. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I have low porosity hair and can't stand coconut oil. Tried the coconut oil recommendations in the video regarding coconut oil multiple times years ago and they didn't work. It's over used in tons of hair beauty products. I wish companies would stop putting coconut oil in everything because not everyone wants to buy products containing the oil. Plus, I think it's probably a cheap tactic companies use to fill their bottles without putting so much of better quality oils in the products.

There are a number of oils my hair just do not like...coconut is one of them (even when I was in my relaxed state).

Great video! I have found that using fractionated coconut oil, especially in the very cold winters that I live in, has worked better for me and my hair than regular coconut oil. Fractionated coconut oil is liquid at room temperature so I don't have to worry about it hardening up on me. I might switch back to regular coconut oil for the summer.

isn't natural coconut oil normally liquid at room temp? My mom bought real coconut oil from Ghana and it was completely liquid until put in the fridge.Then, when left outside for a bit, it liquified again. I believe the solid form is cold pressed(cooled quickly at low pressure and below freezing temperatures) to make it like that.

My leave - in has hydrolyzed protein and that's all I need. I shampoo my hair every week but I guess I wasn't doing a proper job. Washing thick 4c Hair is work

I'm low porosity with 4c hair and I've been using coconut oil for years before it became a thing with no problems. It's all about how you use it as you said in the video. For example living in a cold climate using coconut oil then going out in the cold is not a good idea. On the topic of protein everyone's hair needs protein. It's all about the strength of protein and often protein is used. It's so easy to get protein overload. Most products contain protein which people don't realise then they do a strong protein treatment thinking that they haven't done one. I love your real protein treatment.

I subbed to your channel. I didn't always have such hair struggles until I moved and have been on well water. My hair has become a nightmare to deal with and it started breaking. With well water, there is a build up due to the minerals, so that in conjunction to any styling products, my hair has become unruly, frizzy, dry and started breaking. I used to think my hair was high porosity, but now I know it's low porosity. And, it makes sense that heat helps relax the cuticle, because when I used some heating tools on my hair, I actually had less breakage. Thank you for this content.

All I know is that my hair frizzes easily, hard to manage, if I flat iron it and go out in humid weather the frizz and curl creep back in, and it's curly but I don't know the curl classification. Most of my top layer is prob medium coarse texture, they're gray. Most of my underneath hair is prob some what fine. I love your videos, they're very educational with real science.

Thanks so much for your awesome informative videos. I'm so perplexed. I have all the characteristics of low porosity hair, YET I just did the water strand test and my hair sank to the bottom 🤷🏽‍♀️ Just when I thought I had it figured out (two years into my natural journey 👀). I just don't know. It's so disheartening *sigh*

Lots of love

something weird i do for my hair, but it helps tremendously! when i detangle, my hair performs SO MUCH BETTER when i have my heater AND humidifier on. probably because what you just said, heat and steam relaxes the cuticle. best to just detangle my hair in the shower, i suppose. but i hate wasting water, so i detangle outside of the bathroom.

I have low-normal porosity and LOVE the LOCmethod. Granted my hair may be slightly weighed down the first day and take hours to dry, but it gives me the best curl definition and last me the entire week. Which works perfectly for me because I wash my hair weekly. Plus, I dont need need to add product and it increases in volume throughout the week so I am fine with the first day hair being 'flat'. I'm someone who cant add water or product to my hair once its dry because my hair will just freak out, frizz, and may get matted by the time wash day comes. Also, dont forget that the L in the LOCmethod may just as easily be replaced with just plain water, and lighter products for the OC may help prevent low porosity hair from being too coated. P.S. I love coconut oil as a pre-poo!

I have great results using coconut oil in the variations of Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides and/or Fractionated without heat. The molecules in virgin coconut oil are too large to penetrate your hair and/or skin, before the hair/skin dries out. Btw, I'm not opposed to using heat. It's just that most of the time, I don't feel like sitting under my dryer.

Why couldn't I have found you sooner..ugh It makes so much sense to hear you explain it, I went from no poo to co wash, I went from dying my hair to Henna..nothing helped, I just ordered this yesterday and excited..I have thinning hair but at one point, I had a full head of hair. I am not sure if its because I hit 51 and I can sense things changing with my hair... Praying this will stop the shedding and heal the breakage.

I love your breakdowns always simple but very informative! I am actually very allergic & have food sensitivity to all tree nuts & dairy products which makes it hard for me because coconut, almond, & shea butter are staple products in practically ALL natural hair products. So I always have to be careful because it's a regular occurrence where I wake up the next day with half of my face swollen or looking like straight out of the scene from the movie Hitch. Very frustrating & defeating sometimes. If possible can you do a video on products you can use if you have nut sensitivity? It would help me immensely! ♡♡♡ Thanks!

I can’t thank you enough.

marvinandjosh1 growth is 100% based on genetics and how well you retain length due to proper hair care practises. there is no "miracle products" to grow hair. Don't let anyone fool us ever again. application overnight should be for adding moisture (deep condition) only.

@1tsybitsyspider the only way to grow hair an inch a week is infusion method. It sucks but it works. Also rice water treatments work. But you are to do it twice a day for weeks and be gentle. It worked for me and I grew my hair 5 inches in 3 weeks but that's just me, a low to med porosity 3c hair type. I'm also Egyptian and native American descent so that could be why my hair grows that way. I've only had that happen a few times.

You just described me to a T. I've perfected the flat twist out, never have to retwist, only have to re-moisturize once and it lasts me 7 days. Not until I wanted to do wash and go's did I realize something was not right with my hair. Realizing I have low porosity hair was something I never considered. I have parts of my hair that will not absorb moisture no matter what I do for a wash and go.
