Moisture Tips for High Porosity Hair! (retain moisture)

[@FuzzyWuzzyLuvsYa]

i am mixed with low porosity 4c natural hair and my mom never taught me nothin about caring for it. but i haven’t been natural in a long time so my relaxed hair is very low porosity. but i have been “co-washing” since i was an early tween. I started to rarely shampoo my hair cause i knew the difference in moisture when i would vs when i didn’t was drastic i love that i figured that out on my own

[@friedchicken892]

Yess I felll into trap of not deep conditoning and using protein alll the time and my hair got so hard and had tons of breakage. Steam helps as well

[@jesusgeneration6666]

Same happened to me, like i was deep conditioning but i was using so much protein, even my DC had some protein in it,then i got protein overload cuz of that. Also i cant use nothing that has coconut(oil,butter,milk,water)basically nothong that comes from coconut or Aloe vera things. So its more difficulty to find produts protein free that doent have this ingredients cuz when the protein overload its so high i cant use this ingredients

[@iffiabdu2818]

what do you use because same! @@jesusgeneration6666

[@rosemaryvyslouzil6249]

You must deep condition all the time on wash day and protein at least every six weeks as Mae sure to moisturize use leave in to

sorry this is off topic but you are literally SO beautiful especially your EYES it’s unreal

doing LOC instead of LCO was a game changer for my high porosity hair! thanks for the tip!!

[@terriup3907]

Wait, can you explain. I don't understand..

[@thecamelliadiaries]

@@terriup3907 LOC/LCO are ways to layer products to moisturize hair. L stands for liquid (water or leave in) O stands for oil C stands for cream

[@hmmmnope2455]

​@@terriup3907 she's now applying her products in the order: leave in conditioner → oil → curl cream Instead of leave in conditioner → curl cream → oil

[@ItsKeysTv]

@@terriup3907i believe it’s leave in conditioner’ oil’ & cream and the other one is leave in conditioner cream & oil

[@Clouds.Of.Cinnamon]

@@terriup3907 L = liquid(water), O = Oil, C = cream. Depending on the sequence you use them changes the letters around. In this case, LCO is water, cream then oil as the last step. However, LOC is when after you wash your hair, then apply oil and finish off with cream.

I just cowash my scalp with straight water. I have sebderm on my scalp so water alone helps with the flaking. I recondition with a leave in for my strands

[@datcrazydyme10]

I have high porosity hair & extreme gel curls it but leave my hair SUPER dry 🌵

[@abigailamoah5555]

Sis ur hair is gorgeous nd ur skin is extra gorgeous 😍 ✨️ 💗. Thanks for the tips but I would love to know more about ur skincare routine 💗 💖

[@sonaturallygwen]

Thank you! I have a skincare routine on my channel already it’s a few years old but pretty much the same…Maybe I’ll film an updated one 🙂

[@abigailamoah5555]

Okay , I will check it out. Thank you 😊 💓

Glycerin is tricky for me living in the humid south. I don't touch it in the dry winter either.

[@sochique]

How do you keep the ends of high porosity hair moisturised and detangled? My daughter has high porosity hair and even before we finish moisturising the entire head, the “moisturised” ends are dray and tangled again.

[@sonaturallygwen]

No biggie! Just add water as needed & work in small sections, twisting them up as you go so they don’t dry out!

[@friedchicken892]

I have to use leave in now. The Whole no leave in movement doesnt work for me. Since my hair is damage. So you use eden cream with miss jessies custard?

[@sonaturallygwen]

No I haven't used them together! Only separately

[@friedchicken892]

@@sonaturallygwen okay thanks!

[@tanishalawson7327]

so with the ACV you spray in and rinse off after you have washed to close the cuticles, so then does that mean the products you then put in after you have washed wont absorb into your hair because the cuticles are closed from the ACV?

[@sonaturallygwen]

High porosity hair's cuticles easily open back up, so they can't be "locked shut." That's the nature of high porosity to easily accept moisture. Hope that helped!

[@jusshy]

Hair looks tf good!

[@sonaturallygwen]

Thanks girl 💕

[@yaoi6248]

i'm confused about what goes first, can you or anyone who knows pls rearrange these tips to be in order for me?

[@chantellcoyour7877]

How do you really know if you have low or high porosity hair? I did the strand test and it looked like my hair floated when I had one single strand but when I did a larger clump of hair, they sink to the middle. However, the characteristics that I experienced are of high porosity hair. For example, my hair can look extremely dry the next day after a wash day, I have some breakage, hair fills somewhat brittle at times, and I get a lot of tangles.

[@sonaturallygwen]

Sounds low porosity to me! Especially since your hair doesn’t sink, but seeing how easily your hair accepts moisture is the best way to know 💕

[@mystic_medicine]

Hi, have you ever experienced moisture overload in your hair? If so, how long did it take to bounce back and what helped? It’s been a little over two weeks and I don’t want to make my hair worse. I have 4a, fine, high porosity and medium density hair and it’s breaking easily and getting more tangled than usual and so far I’ve clarified and added more protein to my hair (no intense treatments though). Should I just keep at this process? I miss my hair being in its original state 😩

[@sonaturallygwen]

I would go for maybe one intense treatment! I have & it took me about a month to recover 😭

[@princessaluchi8924]

Aloe juice aloe dries my hair, but I’ve noticed when I shampoo my hair it sets my hair wayyyy back and Just like you said it doesn’t work either if I deep condition or put oils I statys away from it okayyy! When I say I just like a day ago thought of something jbco to seal my hi-po because it was getting rough out in these no oils and grease streets, but I tried grease and I think it just too stark on my strands, but jbco is the truth it thick and sticky and works in curl definition, sealing in moisture and shine I truly am happy I went back to it! I saw jbco in your list and I knew honey is one the right track and the real deal, and has truly Hi-po hair !!👏🏽👏🏽

[@sonaturallygwen]

YAS girl real hi-po over here 🙌🏾💕 JBCO is everything!

How to next day the hair

[@Teyliaj]

Great tips thank you so much

[@kywalt23]

Do you co-wash with regular conditioner or co wash, wash it out and then deep condition with a separate deep conditioner?

[@sonaturallygwen]

Yes ma’am!

[@cassandrarobinson7246]

Very good tips

[@sonaturallygwen]

Thank you!

[@jessi8682]

How many minutes has the Apple cider vinegar to stay in the hair and then rinse it out?

[@sonaturallygwen]

Don’t need to leave it in at all! I rinse it out after I squeeze it through my hair

[@jessi8682]

Sorry I forgot to ask you where I should store it, do i have to put it in the fridge? And for how long can I use this spray till it goes bad (if it goes bad). And mostly, should I use the spray every wash or once a week? Thank you and sorry for the many questions 😅

[@sonaturallygwen]

@@jessi8682The apple cider vinegar has the expiration date & how to store it right on the bottle!

Thank you!

That stringy feeling is kinda scary to me cause to the touch it feels stiff and like my hair could snap any second almost like dry hair but not quite... that's what stopping for continuing to use ACV.

[@meep2605]

What happened to people who would watch a video and leave a summary in the comments section for us?😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 ADHD got me crazy anxious I want to watch but I can't. I read important comment n play the video in the background happily knowing what's going on😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@sonaturallygwen]

That’s a good idea actually!

Lost me at co-washing.

[@skitmakercraig6281]

What’s wrong with that?

[@92spice18]

Co-washing doesn’t work for me either. It dries my hair out.

[@ShaiFowler]

Hey if you still have the video where your hair is flaking you should post it! We need to see failure just as much as we see success otherwise ppl get products and expect them to work for them off rip. The failures are a part of the journey😁🫶🏾

[@sonaturallygwen]

I don’t! But I’ll keep that in mind for the future 💕
