I have low porosity hair and steaming my hair as part of my deep conditioning regimen is an absolute MUST! Without steaming, the product just doesn't penetrate and no matter how long I let it sit on my hair, it does just that....sits ON TOP of my hair. It barely gets through the hair shaft. I've gone through about 3 steamers over the years and at this point, I refuse to buy another one because they're pricey so I recently invested in a steam cap that I got on Amazon for around $30. I also bought a travel steamer. Although it's intended for clothes, it works just fine when I use it on my hair, just be careful not to burn yourself.

Thank you for this! 🙌🏾 One piece of advice for low porosity hair is to deep condition with heat and alternate at least once a month with a protein based conditioner so your hair will be balanced. Low porosity hair is protein sensitive but a little protein is still needed to avoid moisture overload and mushy hair. Hope this helps! ✨👌🏾

[@poquitovibes9432]

I am low porosity. I discovered that by opening my cuticles with warm water to get products in and closing my cuticles by using cool water to lock in moisture has helped immensely with the appearance and over all health of my hair. I get the extreme darkness and shine after doing this method on my wash days. The nice form of my curl pattern. Strength of my hair. The speed of growth. And manageability. And I must add that topping it off with a quality oil just enhances it even more. And last but not least a little goes a very long way when it comes to how much product I use in my hair. Just using very little makes a drastic difference in how my hair look and feel and grows versus adding a lot or too much which makes it look and feel dirty and dull when all the dirt in the air gets attracted to it.

I use the conditioning cap from Glow by Daye and keep it on my hair for 15 minutes. It works best when you heat up the cap on each side for a minute.

How long do u leave the coconut oil in? Use a plastic cap? Thanks

[@audrafields4094]

I apply it the night before my wash day, cover with a plastic cap and scarf, to create heat. And sleep in it overnight.

[@kbell0]

Thank u!!

[@tanyas1644]

Thanks so much for sharing this… awesome takeaways. My tip is, I can't say enough about pre-poo or hot oil treatments. That has really changed the game in my hair journey. Looking forward to the next updates! 😀

[@carolharper4401]

True. I pre-poo as well.

[@TheBklynite278]

I went to get the Pattern beauty mask but protein was high on the list. Also people who are giving it bad reviews are saying they are low porosity and their hair was dry. The people that loved it said that it defined their curls which says again higher protein. I am conflicted but won't get this one. I did get the Camille rose algae deep conditioner and my hair feels interesting. It melted in effortlessly and the result is that my hair is soft and moist so I would say that it worked. I looked at the wash day shampoo but didn't get it yet. The As I am is hard to find in store but says strengthening so I am concerned

[@JustJoia]

Gentle & patient…. The best advice when starting or learning has helped me.

[@foryou6yn]

What helps me with my little porosity hair is find what works for me and if not find Alternatives like your blog that can help

[@lovelylanya]

So needed this video!!! I’m also Low porosity and currently struggling with keeping my hair from drying out so fast…. My hair drys out after 2 to 3 days of moisturizing😩😩😩

[@CurlyChemistry]

Your moisture cycle may be 2-3 days, you can either moisturize your hair on day 2 or look into one of the moisturizers I mentioned in this video which may increase your cycle. Also, try sealing with hair grease (if your hair responds well to it) this can also elongate the moisture within the hair. I hope this helps!

[@lovelylanya]

@@CurlyChemistry ok that sounds about right lol bc it seems like by day 3 I have to moisturize my hair again lol I will definitely try this tips grease does responds to my hair very well I just seem to over do it sometimes lol but thanks so much again will definitely try this out!!!!🥰🥰🥰

This couldn't have come at a better time. I was just thinking about this yesterday. Thanks

[@agatheantoine2814]

I have low perosity hair: what has help me is not washing with shampoo, not putting silicone, or grease in my hair. My hair loves Lemongrass leave in conditioner from All Things O’Natural.

[@laylor4360]

Can you talk specifically about deep conditioners and recommend some? I'm confused at what actually makes a deep conditioner. Talk about the best ingredients (what to look for etc.), the difference between a moisturising one or a protein one or one that is both. I don't know if I'm high or low porosity, I may be both so please suggest ones that can be used by all. I want to invest in one but won't until I know which to buy.

[@elementsofelle888]

I use the Aussie super moist hair insurance…. Liquid conditioners work for my hair…. Steaming my hair, using wild growth ( white bottle),taking my Vitamin D3 and medium knotless braids.

[@carolharper4401]

I have heard of some of these products. Especially the TGIN and the Melanin oil. They are both great products. I am low porosity. Pre-poo helps your hair tremendously. I do it every time I wash my hair. It sets your hair up for the shampoo and conditioner. And it grows the hair. Also using heat with your conditioners. It is a game changer. It locks in the moisture. I have seen a big change doing this.

[@memes.1114]

How do you use heat during conditioning? Do you sit under the dryer while conditioning?

[@carolharper4401]

@@memes.1114 Yes or a hooded bonnet. When you put your conditioner on. Sit under a hooded dryer or bonnet for 30 to 45 minutes. So the conditioner can penentrate into your hair. I also put my conditioner in the shower. When you do that. The hair is moisturized. And you see a big difference. I also do Avacado treatments as well. Adding oils of your choice, eggs, honey and coconut milk. That works tremendously as well. You can do that once a week or every two weeks.

I agree with Topaz! Very enlightening and educational. I feel more empowered now when I read ingredients instead of wondering if it's a silicon and if it's a "good" silicon.

[@quincam2677]

I throughly enjoy your channel, very informative. I would love for you to do a segment with products that retain their shine after the product has dried or a segment why hair may look dull & dry. My hair is low porosity and does well with most butters, oils and gels. The results are fabulous! My hair is laid to the 9's but once it dries, my hair looks dull & dry. I like the "wet look". Anyone can comment, please & thanks.

I have fallen back in love with conditioner water, hair grease, and gel. In that order! Question: What's the difference between Behentrimonium sulfate and Behentrimonium chloride? Disregard my spelling errors, please.

[@ndidiamakaakpunonu1232]

From my low porosity 10yrs of experience, I advise using oil mix (Olive and Coconut oil/other oil preference) for hot oil treatment overnight to wash day. It condition the hair to be silky, shinny, also penetrate deeply to hair shaft that detangling is easy/ free with less hair loss during washing hair.

Hey! Can you please do a video on the best products/ treatments to use for seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, and scalp eczema? Would really appreciate it!

[@aprilracine]

For my seborrheic dermatitis, I add 1% zinc pyrithione to my favorite shampoo, .5% to my deep conditioner, and .25% to my leave in. I weighed my product and then add the right amount of zinc pyrithione and mix well. I apply the shampoo to my scalp out of the shower with a nozzle bottle and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing it out. The deep conditioner is used normally. I rub the leave in into my scalp and along my strands. This allows me to go up to 3 weeks without washing again but I normally wash every 10 days. I sorry that I can’t speak for scalp psoriasis or eczema. I got the shampoo idea from Dr. Dray , a dermatologist on KZbin.

[@ashbee5305]

@@aprilracine thank you for this advice it is much appreciated and I’ll definitely check out Dr. Dray’s channel 😊 but where can I get zinc pyrithione ? At a pharmacy ?

[@aprilracine]

@@ashbee5305 I purchased mine on Esty. A 1.7 oz powder for $15. A little goes a long way. Or you can try Head and Shoulders Royal Oils conditioner, which I also like. However their shampoo is too stripping for me. I should also mention that I have high porosity hair.
