Just wanted to say how much I have appreciated your content. I finally have the upper hand in the curl wars. I always used to use sulfates and dimethicone conditioners which are supposed to be no no’s but I had the most beautiful, defined, frizz free curls and very few issues. Fast forward, sulfate and cone free and I couldn’t figure out why my curls didn’t behave as they used to. Your video on protein and moisture, and how to tell which is needed, opened my eyes and I haven’t had a bad curl day since(except when it’s freezing out and I have to wear a wool hat). This video explains why even with no cones I need to clarify and why those heavy curl creams never worked for me. In a sea of curly girl channels, thank you for taking the time to explain how each curl can be different and respecting that one way of hair treatment does not fit all or even the same person forever. Sorry for the novel but I’m so happy!

So is that why my hair looks a fright fucked up( pardon my cuss but really- i cuss -😄) i mean its been since last DECEMBER - whole year without sulfate, silicone, dimethicone, not a stinking stich of heat at all..Butttt- my hair basicly looks OK on wash day and then after that - dry and greesy looking at same time, knots like Dreds😳 and the curl looks like sticks - HARD PRODUCT FILLED STICKS... i watched a video and that chick said the curly girl method tore her hair up!! So - im confused with all the hype - honestly😐

All the wrong informations about hair porosity....The bowl of water test is a total bullshit...it doesn't work that way. Porosity isn't determined by whether a bunch of hair floats or sinks. One person can have multiple types of porosity...and there are different reasons for different porosity. Stephanie from The Curl Ninja is the only reliable source on youtube now as she genuinely tries to explain Porosity, Moisture-Protein balance and what damaged hair means. Every other so-called natural/curly hair KZbinr is spreading false info left right and centre and affecting millions of people who tend to believe whatever is shown by them. This should stop and these "influencers" should know what they are talking before opening a KZbin Channel

You are such an excellent teacher. Your videos are so understandable, and I also appreciate your warmth and humor. You seem like a beautiful person, inside and out!
@NeonBlueSnow6 жыл бұрын
Just to clarify too, cuz I know some transitioning curlies might get confused-- HEAT ON LOW POROSITY HAIR DOES NOT MEAN GO CRAZY WITH A FLAT IRON!! That can still cause major heat damage and set you back on your curly hair journey. By heat, she means steam :) Hot caps, steam from the shower, anything to get hot water into your hair while you're deep conditioning.

Your grey hair does the same thing as mine, especially the one in front - it curls up really well with the rest of the non-grey hair and makes it look almost shiny. This was my favourite outcome of starting the curly girl method, as before, when I was straightening them, the greys would always curl up anyway, and stick out of my head, whereas now, they blend really nicely and give the rest of my hair a spark. Love that you're embracing your grey hair!

I'm 31 and growing up I haaaaated my hair. There was no youtube or google or social media. No hairstylist could work with my hair and quite frankly seemed irritated to work with my highly dense, curly hair; to be honest I didn't enjoy seeing them either. I have 2c/3a type curly hair, HIGH density, and Low/High porosity (I did ombre a year and a half ago). I have learned so much these past few months, I can't wait to invest in some products.

Just got my Olaplex 3 in the mail today and I can't wait to see if it helps restore some of my curl pattern that I had attributed to my hair changing with age (I'm 33). When I was younger I had like 3b curls all over but now I have all these parts that are almost straight 😩 I am praying that the Olaplex brings back some of those curls, if not then I know for sure that my curls are just going away. Thank you so much for all your hard work and keep it up! ❤️

High porosity "Just as your hair absorbs moisture easily, it lets it go just as easily." This finally makes sense now! Using hair oil to seal strands when hair is damp is the best thing I've learned to keep that moisture in and stop my hair from going all poofy.

@jenniferguevara28093 жыл бұрын
It is hard to say. However, you hair can take that long to dry due to the products you apply to it. Heavy products maybe? My hair is low porosity and it takes a long time to dry as well. Also, remember that the test for porosity (strand of hair in water is no the most accurate). I also think that porosity can be due to genetics. Hope that helps🤍💠

I have gray hair (Keeping it that way) & don't use curling iron or hair dryers & only warmth is the water. My hair is too thin now, dam- it all any ways, but not near as thick as it was, comes with aGe I imagine, GRRR, but is what it is & the frizziness & fly aways are driving me crazy. I'm guessing I have 3B/3A hair. Hair is not as dry as it use to be though, actually feeling softer, but concerned as it's changing & getting much thinner strands, frizzy & with my cOnFuSiOn I'm scared of damaging my hair even more. Also needing a haircut, but my budget & severe anxiety has been so overwhelming & what IF the beautician does NOT cut it right etc., or I don't explain/comprehend all properly? As they say "we pay for what we get", so this makes me feel extremely trapped & lOsT, what is a curly girl do please? By any chance, does anyone know of a foam gel that helps with frizziness & makes my curls POP without all the stiffness & that is good for the hair, but doesn't make it STIFF, mmm, I DISLIKE that, but each to their own... This is so difficult & needs to be done unfortunately has to be all done on a budget, blushing... Funluvn hugs & cheers to all you curly girls & guys...😘💞🎵🌷🌺 🌸 😆 👏 👍 💫 🌟 💛

I'd love to hear your take on humectants and low porosity hair! I know environment plays a giant role in what curlies decide to use as far as humectants or no, but I have recently found myself in a pickle with accidentally over conditioning my hair by wet styling and using protein free anti-humectants, essentially trapping water in my low porosity hair and then sealing it in and weighing it down substantially. Lots of damage. Long story short, how would a low porosity curly (or maybe just anyone?) approach humectants?

How do you keep low porosity hair moisturized between washes?

Do you have recommendations for when your hair is both? I love having colored hair, but I generally have a lot of grow out and I realized this could be why my undamaged hair won't curl!

So when you say don't use any product before doing a float test, are you just referring to styles or conditioner as well?
