[@terrellfstephens]

This used to happen to me ALL THE TIME! 😞 To change this, I’ve started using the LOC+ method on my 4a/b, high-porosity, thin hair. I use a lighter leave-in (of the texture that she spoke about), a heavy oil (I usually use black castor oil), hair grease on my shaft, and ends, then my styling creme or custard. I haven’t really liked gels on my hair, but I think I’d use a gel for a longer-term protective style in my last step. My hair stays moisturized for at least 2 days, usually 3-4.

It make look dry on the outside but when untwist my twist it's still moisturized. I also do the LOC method then I two strand twist my hair and roll the twist up half way with perm rods, air dry or use a diffuser to dry. Unroll then untwist and you have a BOMB TWISTOUT!!! And my fine strands stay looking curly longer! Try it❤

Can you do a video(or two)about the effects of different hydrolyzed proteins(quinoa, collagen, keratin, silk, wheat etc...) on high, medium and low porosity hair?

[@West_Indian_Aiyah]

The only thing that really helps my high porosity hair is henna. It's like a permanent protein treatment because the particles go and fill the holes in permanently. I also use mafura butter (which is naturally conditioning), Shea Nilotica (East African shea butter) and Muru-Muru butter which acts as a natural silicone. These help keep my hair 'intact', keeping moisture in and hair soft. Also pre-pooing with coconut oil or any coconut based conditioner before washing to help with hygral fatigue so the 'shingles' that make up your strands don't open up further while washing, causing more damage.

I really want to try henna but I’m terrified I’ll mess it up. 😳

[@saludosalsol]

Henna made my hair super dry and brittle afterwards 😳 also you cannot dye your hair with regular hair dye after you use henna. It is permanent and must be grown out or cut off before you dye with salon dye. I know it really works for some people but just be sure to do your research. I wish I had known that before I did it because I really want to dye my hair.

[@saludosalsol]

Eman Eman the henna made my hair super dry and like hay. I had to give it lots of conditioning treatment to revive it and it’s still not as strong as before. I know this isn’t the case for everyone just make sure it’s right for your hair. Be sure you’re not planning to dye it with salon or box anytime soon because it’s difficult, you’d have to strip out the color and use bleach.

The things that helped my HiPo hair the most have been weekly mayo treatments w/ heat and monthly henna treatments. I know the protein in eggs isn't hydrolyzed so it can't penetrate but honestly out of all the expensive protein treatments I've tried, nothing leaves my hair smoother, stronger and shinier than mayo and henna. I have greater humidity resistance, less breakage & shedding, and easier detangling. They're both super affordable too!

Wait so my high porosity is self-inflicted due to coloring and over-manipulation, so does that mean that the damaged portion of the strand can never be nursed back to, if not a normal porosity (I figured that wouldn’t really be possible) but a lower porosity?? 😢 Once it’s shot out, it’s done??? If that’s the case I deadass feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach cuz I spent so long growing it. 😭 I FINALLY understand why some women can have such a strong emotional response and attachment to their hair and the different manifestations and circumstances around it that might occur over the course of their lives. I feel like it’s my baby, and I ruined it and now all I can do is patch it up every day and send it out into the world, and what kind of life is that? Sigh, well it does grow back so I may have to lip it off, and do what women have been doing for centuries, pick up my feelings, be patient, and grow it back. One things for sure, I’ve never experienced anything like this high porosity before with my hair and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t more than just a little stressful and anxiety-inducing…leave the crib looking, not spectacular maybe, but it’s cool it’s presentable, and then an hour later, as I’m walking through the door to work, it looks like I got struck by a lighting bolt in the Sahara Desert during a drought. 👀😳😤🤬🤦🏽‍♂️

First off, you write really well. I appreciate that b/c I love to write. Even on the most healthy head of hair, the ends are always going to have a higher porosity than the rest of the hair. From what you described so eloquently, yours are a bit more high in porosity for the time being. Add the REAL Protein Treatment to your hair regimen to help keep those damaged areas patched up as you grow out your hair. And you should be back to some normalcy in a few months or so.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was checking out a KZbinr called Curly Hair Ninja. She is a hairdresser ("Professional Curly Hair Stylist")who insists that this information is all wrong. This is how people become confused and end up not knowing what to do for their hair's health. She says that porosity has been taught backwards from what really applies! She states that low porosity breaks more easily and high porosity takes a long time to dry because it holds water inside longer and can't dry quickly. I KNOW that what you are saying is correct because I have been following your advice and learning about my high porosity hair ever since I found your channel. My hair is healthy high porosity, low density and fine. since I've been following your advice my hair has never done so well. Dryness is my biggest problem. The Real Protein treatment has been helping tremendously. I'm just figuring out how frequently to use it. Again, thank you for your precise, scientific explanations. It all makes perfect sense when you break it down. This is why I limit who I follow and listen to. I look around sometimes just to see what some people have to say. I always end up right back here where things make sense!

@@motherspiders3913 If you go to Green Beauty's site she has the BEST videos on hair care on KZbin (in my opinion). She sells a product called Real Protein. The great thing about it is that you mix it right into your favorite moisturizing conditioner (I like Curl Junkie's Curl Rehab) and you end up with the perfect balance of protein and moisture. She tells you the amount to use based on YOUR hair's porosity. There is a lot of information about it on her site so you can learn about your hair's porosity and how the treatment works before you buy it. The molecules in the keratin and many other protein treatments (like eggs, etc) are too large to penetrate the hair. Hers is made with hydrolyzed wheat protein, which is broken down (by hydrolyzation) to be small enough to fill in the gaps in the hair shaft. My hair is high porosity so it really has been a Godsend for me. Her entire site has been. All the things I've learned there I've share with others and suggested they check out her KZbin site. I hope that helps.🤗

I made 2021 the year of hair care. However, I used too much moisture as I moisturize my hair most mornings(I've been wearing my hair in twist almost the entire year) and only used a protein treatment of rice water on a monthly basis. Over time, my hair started to shed like crazy and I couldn't figure out what was going on until I finally realized, a few weeks ago(yep almost a whole year confused), that I had moisture overload. It's something very few people on KZbin talk about. I used the intense aphogee protein treatment and the shedding stopped immediately. I wish I'd known sooner not just the importance of protein treatments but also the importance of the moisture-protein balance.

I use my pH Stabilizing Spritz first, then a little oil on my ends. Followed by the mucilage on top.

[@SunniDae333]

Hi Green Beauty! I've definitely enjoyed this series. The answer to the giveaway question is: You use beauty from a blowdryer to stretch your hair. This, along with the scoop and spread method (sometimes using a little water to loosen up the sebum), allows you to attain full sebum coverage! You then put your stretched hair in comfortable twists! It's how I've started doing it too :) So glad to see you back :)

[@VaniaDiasss]

Muito bom mesmo👍

[@animeloverisme1]

Wash treat Blow-out massage hair to warm up the sebum scoop Spread Check everyday to to see if hair is dry. If hair is dry go back a day and make that your scoop and spread day. You use products to help the sebum in the first week . Do this for a month.

[@momzilla9491]

Hi Everybody, I have super dry hair and my hair was breaking all by itself. And I am gentle. For many years I haven't used blow driers, curling iron only when I really need some help! Basically just roll the hair in large/largest curlers, and let it dry overnight. I've been using a Tea Rinse after shampooing for about 2.5 months. Pour that big picture of STRONG BLACK TEA on my hair, then finish my showering before rinsing it out. No conditioners. I am still continuing with the castrol oil treatment. I'm losing less than half the hair I used to! My hair is recovering!

[@momzilla9491]

@Just meI

[@momzilla9491]

I'm over 50 and so for 40+ years used every deep conditioner that was available! I really want to look up the PH of black tea because whatever it is doing is working great. Of course I still use a Castor oil jelly on wet hair before rolling. My hair has got decent control for about 4 days afterward.

[@lauramorellon1863]

You use the "scooping and spreading" method by sliding down the sebum to the length of your hair! That video answers so many of my questions! Thank you

My hair is high porosity but hates strong treatments. So I use light protein treatments and henna to strengthen my hair. But it loves henna better. I also wash my hair twice a week to add moisture midweek. I have also noticed that aloe vera seems to moisturize and detangle my hair better.

I'm naturally high porosity! I don't use any type of heat because i get damage no matter what. I can use the best type of heat protectant and still get heat damage. Now, I know why. My cuticle layers must be very fine. Also, I probably have less cuticle layers on my hair strands! Thanks for shedding light on high porosity hair!💕

[@nnaturalheaven3754]

Hi! I have very fine hair and I use heat, I never have damage. (thats my afro lightly blowed out in the thumbnail) There are only 2 instances that I use it: 1. When I condition or deep condition, it improves your conditioning process results if you sit under a hooded dryer with a plastic cap on for 15-30 mins and let "heat" warm your conditioner and open your hairshaft, then I rinse in cool. 2. I completely STOPPED flat-ironing! They are ALL( ceramic tourmaline titanium etc.)flat plates are damaging. I use old school electric pressing comb, NO heat protectant, no need to trace with a comb and just use the back of it as hair goes thru. You can use some oil, I use grape seed oil before you blow-dry, not after. Oh yeah and I use the tension method to blow dry, holding the hair straight out and blowing it dry, half the work right there. Then hot-comb press. My hair looks straighter than those who use flat-irons, lasts longer... but i only do it a few times a year. Try it and they are like $25-50 compared to the $75-200 professional flat-irons.

[@humblelife7136]

@@nnaturalheaven3754 Thanks for your comment. Blow drying is where I experience the most heat damage... heat protectant and all. This is my fourth time getting heat damage from heat tools while also using heat protectant. My coil pattern just loosens up permenantly. I don't have breakage with my heat damage. So, I'm glad Green Beauty made this video. I finally have some answers!

[@JanieBee]

0:00 if your porosity was self inflicted, will going bald and regrowing it make it return to it’s natural hereditary state? Or can your hair never grow that way again?

[@jaybeey7239]

Yes, if you cut the damage aslong as you follicles aren't harmed the new hair should grow in health. However if you keep the same habits and practises that caused the damage in the 1st place, you will end up back in the same position x

[@PackofDiscos]

Going forward, preventing self-inflicted will be the goal, but for those of us who presently have low porosity roots/sections of hair and higher porosity elsewhere, what do you recommend? Applying protein to ends only? I used a tea rinse that had mucilaginous herbs in it and my hair felt AMAZING. Mostly... my scalp went mad and flaky and my roots weren't too impressed either! Hopefully, it was just a case of not rinsing well because I want to do it again for sure! Do you have a video on flaking scalp? Are there any substances that react with sebum to make it flake? I wonder if it was just a hard water issue.

Great tips for high porosity hair! I use them all and my hair is thriving. The other thing I find that helps is having enough protein in my diet as well. Not having enough tends to increase my shedding. That may not be strictly for high porosity hair, but it definitely helps!

Hi beauty! Would you say natural high porosity hair has a shine? Most articles say high porosity hair is usually dull. Also my hair doesn't seem to like any type of humectant. Not even aloe or marshmallow root that are supposed to be good for Highpo hair. What would you suggest to seal hair? Also can you do a video on difference between proteins like keratin and strengthening ingredients like green tea and how they affect hair. One last thing do you think natural high porosity hair benefits from using heat with deep conditioners or not? I apologize for the many questions. Thank you!

[@onceme2u]

I know you're not asking my opinion but if sounds to me you have low porosity hair. High porosity is naturally dull if it's not moisturized and shine is hard to achieve. If your hair doesn't like humectants, it is likely low porosity. I have high porosity to the T and my hair does extremely well with humectants but if you feel you still need it I recommend blue magic although it may not be "green" or flaxseed gel. Lastly, adding heat to a deep conditioner for example won't do anything extra for high porosity because the hair has no problems absorbing the product! Hope this helped.

[@daisyflower1545]

@@onceme2u you might be right. I did read that low po hair likes humectants and high po hates it. Maybe I just have damaged low po hair. It's so confusing. I'll try blue magic. Thank you!

[@daisyflower1545]

@@onceme2u it seems most people's problem with humectant is because it causes frizz. My problem is that when I'm outside where there's moisture, my hair is soft but once I get inside it is dry and that happens all through the week. My hair is soft then dry then soft then dry and by the end of the week when I want to wash my hair, it feels very soft and mushy. Basically hygral fatigued 😫

Method:》 Scrutch and Preen To get full sebum coverage》1st on clean hair you will do a blow-out then Scoop and spread before your hair gets dry...if dry you will use water based spritz with acidic ph. To start if on twist from ROOT you use fingers to message and warm-up your sculp, so that the SEBUM loosens up and slides out easier. Then you take down one twist at a time using base of your nail or tip of your fingers to scoop the SEBUM up and SPREAD it down to MIDDLE, remove shed hair lightly>> keep on scooping and spreading little by little consistently til full coverage, when you get to the END you fluffy your ends then you twist your hair back-up again.

[@ninahamington-roberts1408]

Green beauty your amazing thank you so much for the video

[@AsheCatsup]

This is exactly what I wanted someone to reiterate to me. My strands are fine and they do act high porosity. So, fine strands should be treated like high porosity.

I watched this video Feb. 2020....and i really appreciate it. I hate that people believe that high porosity equals damaged hair. Yes, i use Aloe vera and okra juice and i also have a consistent regimen, people even think that i have normall/medium because of how my hair behaves.

[@estellebenie4794]

You used your infused oil to scoop and spread sebum coverage and to protect your hair from heat damage. Then you used low heat to stretch the root of your hair, you twist your hair to prevent shrinkage and you used puff-cuff to clip your hair for stretching.

[@TheMixicologist]

This was so helpful and reassuring. Many videos dance around the concept of porosity but no one described in sufficient enough depth.

[@melissasmith4466]

The answer is you stretch your hair using heat and you scoop and spread sebum to achieve full coverage.

[@daphnerogers4020]

You spread the sebum by sneeding the sebum down your hair every two weeks

[@GreenBeauty]

First you have to identify and remove the culprit(s) , b/c it could be more than one. In this case you determined it’s too much sun exposure. You can protect your hair with Shea Butter. Keep you hair clean, moistures and lubricated and it should recover

[@ZunflowerZoul]

GreenBeauty thank you so much! I will keep this in mind

[@plychionoly5975]

You keep your hair stretched by scoop and spreading method; this is done before your hair gets dry. First, you massage your scalp using your finger tips You scoop the sebum on 1-2 inches of the hair closest to your scalp and spread to the entire length of your hair. Working your way down,you spray some water-base spirit to further break down the sebum on 1-2 inches of your hair. You Only use small amount of spirit so your ends don't shrunk up. And using organic oil applied to your finger tips to slide down even more. The process also helps to remove shed hairs. After this process you twist your hair.
