Low Porosity Hair Do's and Dont's

[@yvonnemk4426]

My low porosity hair hates coconut oil. Idk if that’s just me but it makes it so dry. This was so informative.

[@williamsj4852]

Yvonne Im with you with the coconut oil. 🤥

[@aseeker2269]

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

[@jborrego2406]

Me to my hair love argan oil

[@porshamitchell90]

Mines does too.

[@MizChiChi05]

Yvonne they sold the company so they added other stuff it’s not the same. I had to stop using it also

[@Pneumarose]

I just found out that my hair is low porosity and now a lot of things are starting to make sense.Great video!

[@ladyamaranth]

YES! I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT NOT RINSING WITH COLD WATER. With my low porous hair, rinsing with cold water makes it feel HARD and like I didn't put any conditioner or anything in it! When I use warm water, my hair is so soft, defined, etc.

[@gigiajavon122]

I'm glad y'all said something!!

[@bc_Luvly]

+Luna Blue Who you telling... My hair felt so much drier doing that!

[@amaude]

thats what always happened with me. its makes so much sense now👏👏👏!!!!

[@justwanttowatchvideos9647]

[@thekinkycurl9484]

Yesss same here. And I just learned this recently. Made such a difference.

[@TheMakayla11]

tip: soak a towel in water abd squeeze excess water (so it's not dripping) out. pop it in the microwave. put it on you head and it should provide enough heat :)

[@onlynamelikethis]

Michele Islanangel oh wow thx

[@ladydede88]

Oooooo great idea

[@brownbutterflyy1058]

Michele Islanangel great idea thanks!

[@Kayla-kd8ov]

Gonna try that

[@iamvenusblue]

For how long?

[@aaydrian]

Don'ts - cool water rinse Dos - small proteins, DCing with heat, deep conditioners with thin consistency.

[@damia.5974]

what r sum good deep conditioners?

[@Timetrae]

I love the fact that you said to rinse with warm water!!!! So many recommend rinsing with cold water but I would always think to myself "why close my cuticles now if I am going to moisturizer next"!!!!! Makes perfect sense to me to leave them open on my low porosity hair and close after moisturizing. I also love your suggestion to close the cuticle with cool air using the tension method GENIUS!!!!!!

[@icycici]

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.

[@lsmith7461]

Timetrae OMG SAMEEE😭😭

[@arianna979]

Timetrae only high porosity rinses with cool water

[@kaylamorgan9125]

I just found out that I have low porosity hair so im doing as much research as possible. This video was very helpful

[@cfoster3406]

I'm glad you said last rinse for Low porosity hair is warm water... I kept wondering why my hair felt like i didn't even do a deep condition.... Thanks for the video

[@janeshamoses]

You nay also be over conditioning. Try just using it for the recommended amt of time as well.

[@Tnc874]

my low porosity hair loves loves loves raw shae butter and avocado oil. both make my hair very very soft. more so than grapeseed oil and olive oil

[@Jalah2013]

Explains why my hair HATTEESS Cantu products, but love the lighter Shea Moisture creams. Also explains why my poor hair broke off with the Shea Moisture protein moisturizer..

[@deejohn854]

Jalah Young-Thomas my hair hated Cantu products too.

[@jazzymay9244]

Same here

[@praiseosas2016]

My hair hates the Cantu Coconut Curling Cream but loves the Leave in Repair Conditioning Cream.

[@barelyaverage2051]

Jalah Young-Thomas Super late but Cantu products have alcohol in it which is very drying for the hair. Also, I think you might have finer hair since Cantu is typically more for people that have thick type 4 hair. And light Shea Moisture products are more for people that have finer hair or people that have type 2 to type 3 hair.

[@ohemaab2818]

This also explains why my hair became so messed up and tangled after doing a protein treatment. I swear it took so long to make my hair normal again after using it

[@monielove78]

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 :)

[@just1desi]

I’ve used conditioner mixed with water to moisturize a bit before products or adding light oil before. Just seems to be what my hair responds to

[@keepthesabbath4009]

This video its so important for the natural hair community, not knowing the porosity off your hair could make a big difference in how you decide to treat/ style your hair you might think that nothings working for you and be upset like me then opt for other methods that just get you by superficially but don't provide you with the real nutrition and care you need to produce the result you need and want it's such a simple test! I almost gave up but this makes so much sense thank you

[@dreamusic4533]

tasha the janitor girl, you just read my whole life! I don't know what to do with lay low porous hair & to get by im using Pantene Conditioner. It makes my hair curlier than anything else while its wet & while its wet it just sits on my hair but still makes it look good, but since it never absorbs into my hair shafts (low porous) when it dries up, its horrible! I use oils and everything help me lol! what do you use?

[@michelleupshaw5213]

for my low po hair: I like - jojoba oil to seal hair Carol's Daughter hair milk line I like LCO in winter too

[@lovelyvictoria267]

May I ask what do you deep condition & conditioner or co-wash with because my hair loves jojoba oil to.

[@michelleupshaw5213]

+Victoria Travier I co-wash with Eden Co-wash, Cantu has an inexpensive Co wash, I also found a cleansing conditioner by Ren pure Solutions at Target I deep condition with any conditioner that adds moisture and heat or steam. I bought a steamer off Amazon.

[@lovelyvictoria267]

Thank you Michelle Upshaw​

[@Jeuldanae]

Wow I've had low porosity hair this entire time (our textures are very similar) and I've been washing with cold water forever like an idiot because I was told hot water on hair causes frizz

[@DALLAS082008]

Been natural since September 2012.....just realized I have low porosity hair, which is why I haven't been retaining length because I didn't know wtf I was doin, thankfully now, I know how to adequately moisturize my hair....thanks darling for your wealth of info, my hair looks exactly like yours!

[@TGRAM7]

Every point you made in this video I found myself shouting YES! I could never understand why certain methods/products just didn't work for me. It always seemed like my hair liked exactly the opposite of what most natural girls were doing. Now I know why! lol Thank you for this video. I'm off to watch more of your videos. Just subscribed :)

[@aimeeluciano9690]

+Aimee Luciano you can try using an egg. But your hair may not like it. Eggs are good for protein treatments

[@Mhoyte]

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!

Even though I have been natural all my life I used to straighten my hair and as a result I had to do a big chop. My hair has grown back to be very healthy but at the same time I was struggling with what products to use. (A.K.A every natural girl's struggle!) After watching a few of your videos I quickly realized that I have low porosity hair as well and have a better understanding of how to take care of my hair. I even took notes to make sure that I get.

[@aida087]

Thank you so much for this video! I recently learned that my hair is low-porosity, 3b-3c dry curls and its been a struggle trying to figure out what products to use, and now I know why after cold rinses and applying styling products my hair still dries to a frizzy mess like I didn't apply any products even though I learned I've been using thick heavy buttery products instead of lighter ones, I'll be using your advice and I pray they work.😊

[@sweetshay88]

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.

[@ShaniqueBuntyn]

i have to give the Helen's Cholesterol another try. I didn't mix it the first time..

[@pyces82queen]

I've tried that one also and it was bad. BAD. BAD. My hair was so dry and matted. The ORANGE Cholesterol is the BEST!

[@raheemsmith9688]

Aloe is one of the best things you can use for both your hair and skin. Hawaiians have been using it for decades here in Hawaii. 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.

[@themajesticwierdo2193]

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. It's so important to understand your hair's needs to nurture it properly. I'm definitely going to look for products with those proteins to strengthen my coils even more

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

Great video! Especially the part regarding the different proteins low porosity hair likes.

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.
