CULPRITS of DRY HAIR you haven't thought about

[@jayjee735]

So that people dont panic, shampoos are usually alkaline, so don't be afraid of that result, however your leave in conditioner or styling product should be in the weak acidic range. Aloe vera juice (weak acid) in a spray bottle is a perfect liquid to spritz after shampooing your hair or visiting the pool and a better alternative to hard water which is alkaline.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

This 😊

[@paradiseawaits821]

Jay Jee, 1 teaspoon of ACV to 8 oz. of distilled water. I learned this from one of Green Beauty's videos. So far, that combination has been the perfect PH balance for my high porosity hair.

Another awesome video that teaches the importance of WASHING your hair. I legit don’t understand this whole ‘no shampoo’ movement in the natural hair community.

[@deebrown3832]

You can definitely use different methods and products to cleanse your scalp and hair that are safer for your hair. First example using a clay mask and diluted apple cider vinegar. I personally do not use a lot of products in my hair and I rarely have build up, using conventional shampoo, even the non sulfate ones. So I dont use "shampoo" but I do cleanse my hair. So that's what people should understand. It is IMPORTANT TO CLEANSE YOUR HAIR AND SCALP REGULARLY.

[@RochelletheRealtor]

People tend to listen to the part of the advice they want to hear. A KZbinr says they only shampoo their hair once a month. But people ignore that that KZbinr doesn’t use many products, co-washes weekly and wets it regularly. They just stop washing their hair while dumping everything on their head.

[@starcherry6814]

There's just not a lot of research into naturally curly hair For a century most of the funding for research to create products for our hair went into straightening it. You still see that today in cosmetology schools. IMO I think this is why there's so much confusion on shampoos, build up and oils. Because there's hardly any thorough scientific studies on what _truly_ works to keep our curls healthy and beautiful. We're all just experimenting

I am loving that tight, dense, thick .... measuring chart for product type indicators. Through my hair journey I am finding I have high porosity - my hair feels and looked towel dried before I can even brush my teeth after a shower. I have type 3 spirals in the back, some z waves in the middle, and a wavy pattern in the front. I thought my hair was thick but as I have gotten older I've realized its just dense but fine. Needless to say I have lots of products but have noticed I concentrate the butters( when I sparingly use them on the sides and back. Most days I go for a light leave in on twisted hair and I just oil it every few days when I come out of the shower. Is that that chart available on your website for us to move the toggles along ?

Well, I think I definitely add products too often between washes. Trying to figure out the porosity of my hair is so hard. My hair takes a while to get wet, but can fully dry with a wash n go within an hour or so. However, if I do a twist out then it of course takes longer. So I guess I have somewhere between medium and high. So ill stick to my loc/lco(I switch it up) but use water only to rehydrate unless leave in is highly necessary. And go back to weekly washes, sometimes every 4 days.
