@aseeker22696 жыл бұрын
I'm replying suuuuper late but if your is low porosity, you have to use coconut oil when it's warm and when your hair is warm. Once they get cold your cuticles will close and the coconut oil will harden and just sit on your hair. Check out Green Beauty's channel, she goes to great lengths explaining this. BTW, coconut oil doesn't have protein it, which lots of people have been lead to believe, including myself. Once I started using steam, hot towels, and warming my oils, the results have been waaay better

Timetrae Honey, the ph of water opens up the cuticles. You have to close them back to keep the moisture in (low porosity hair only takes what it needs & seals up). Products are meant to seal on top of the cuticles, the key is to not use too much product on the hair.

A neat trick is to heat up the thick conditioners and thin them up a bit to apply to your hair. - stick the conditioner in a bowl of hot water to heat up and loosen the product then apply to hair. Apply your steam cap or plastic cap (steam cap works well) to further open your hair cuticles. Then wash out! Voila use up that product and not waste your money then purchase the right product or continue use depending on your results. Hope this helps some ladies out ..Cheers :)

Back in 2010 or 2011, I remember telling my hairdresser that my natural hair was "water resistant" and I asked her why? But she did not know. When I washed or spritz water on my hair, it would not penetrate and would remain on top the strand... I was so frustrated. My hair remained dry and was breaking. No one could tell me why. Then I started to Google and came across a wealth of information on how to care for natural hair and "boom" I came across the whole porosity concept. I was so enlightened. Now I know that the "water resistant" hair was low porosity... And now I am aware of how to care for this low porosity hair of mine. Thanks!

I have very low porosity hair, it never dries and product builds up very easy. I had alot of struggles with my hair before I realized this and made adjustments (ex. cowashing absolutely is a bad idea unless I am doing a midweek wash and go between full washes). Everything you said was right on for me except the Aunt Helen's Cholesterol. I mix it with every conditioner that I use, water it down a little and it provides the softness, slip and curl definition to conditioners that only add moisture and strength. For example, I love the banana and bamboo deep conditioner from Dark and Lovely but I need that Aunt Helens for slip.

It helps with cell rejuvenation so you can use it on any skin problem imaginable. It's extremely hydrating if incorporated into diet and will help cleanse and repair from the inside out. You can even use the fresh aloe (from the plant) and mix it with honey to make an amazing face mask.

It took me a while to figure out that my hair is low po. What solidified my assumption was when I finally did a strand test in water. I used to use coconut oil, blow dry with heat, and rinse with cold water. After a few months I noticed how dry and tangled my hair always was. First I replaced the coconut oil with almond and olive oil, then I started blow drying with cool air when I was in a rush but typically I let it air dry, and now I do warm water rinses and my hair is doing so much better. I wish I had of seen your video when I first went natural it woulda saved me from big chopping so many times to get it right lol but i still appreciate you sharing the knowledge sis.

OMG! I have to share this video with a friend. I was experiencing a lot of breakage until a friend gave me a homemade product to put in my hair. It worked beautifully. So I asked her what the main ingredients were besides shea butter. The key ingredient that worked for me was grapeseed oil. I have tried every oil but nothing worked as grapeseed oil. I totally agree on the regimen you proposed. Thanks for the info.

This video is so helpful. I love jamaican black castor oil. I only use it at the end of the day when I'm in the house for the night because it is so thick that it runs down my face and neck when I put it in my hair.

5:59 exactly, the point is to balance your hair porosity to have a medium porosity. So if your hair is low porosity warm water, if it’s high porosity cold water

I completely agree with the rinsing with warm water I have been trying to figure out why my hair doesn't stay as moisturized as it used to and I really think that is the cause since I found out I am low porosity definitely switching back!

Yes! An explanation for why I could never really get with the cold water last rinse thing. I felt like my hair would get so dry so soon after wash day, this makes sense.

I totally agree with everything you said. Just watching this video made me realize that I also have low porosity hair. I'm going to start deep conditioning with a bonnet hair dryer so that my strands can absorb the product better. Also, I love doing my final rinse with warm water. Thanks for the video!

My hair agrees with everything you said except the Queen Helene Cholesterol. My low porosity hair looooves this conditioner. I "thin" it out with olive oil before application, apply heat and rinse my hair with warm water and it's like butter!

Thank you so much for this video! After a year or so of being natural I finally figured out that shea butter just will not work for my hair and this just confirms my hair is low porosity. Thank you again for all the tips!

I can definitely relate to the thick products. I didn't know about porosity type hair until this explanation but I have realized that my hair hates the heavy products. I tried the cholesterol cream too and the jar is still full. Now I know why I stick to light oils and products. Thank You!

OMG - I know this was posted a while back but I have to say everything you've said resonated. Just did the test and found out that I'm "super" LP after 3 years of natural hair and I now need to redefine what i've been doing thus far

As someone with low porosity hair I have heard that low porosity hair uptakes fine powders well. I agree with the aforementioned points, and would like to add when conditioning with fine powders, I find I do not need heat.
