@@alysonlupo Don't spread wrong info like this. How can you say that " High porosity hair is only damaged hair" ??? This is the general misconception and you claim to be studying hair as a professional course and still spreading all the wrong things about Curly hair that youtube is filled with. High porosity can be either damaged or " naturally high porosity with no damage" Low porosity on the other hand means " damaged hair" Stephanie from curlyhairninja was so right in saying...KZbin curly girls are misleading viewers so rampantly. Stop giving out such wrong knowledge so confidently.

You look awesome with short hair! It fits your playful personality so well. Your tips on hair porosity... I have never heard anyone talk about surface tension before and it totally explains my results of the float test. My hair is very fine and that hair strand could sit on top of the water for dayzzzz. I was treating my hair as low porosity, because I figured that since my hair didn’t sink and I get buildup, I must be low porosity. And now my poor hair is dry and breaking. Ugh. This hair stuff is seriously rocket science 😂
@alysonlupo6 жыл бұрын
Thank you, friend! Well, keep in mind your hair could feel dry, but instead of actual dryness, it could be protein overload. What have you been styling with? And yes, hair is actually a notoriously difficult thing to take care of. I understand now why sulfates and silicones are SO prevalent in formulations; they're truly designed so you never have to think about it, even if your hair isn't actually healthy or hydrated.

real life+curly girl My styling products are all over the place. Gels, potions, solutions, custards, smoothies, sprays... I’ve tried so many products already. The only product combo that gives me reliable day 1 results is DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel and Wavemaker. BUT, on day 2, my hair feels super dry and heavy. I bought BounceCurl and will try it out tonight. I’m now experimenting with using smaller amounts of products and while my hair doesn’t get a lot of definition, it’s lighter and moisturized. Plus I’m not compelled to wash it every day just to get the gunk off 😣

Hello ! I've discovered your channel just a few weeks ago and watched as many videos of yours that I could. I'm not doing the CGM right now, but as soon as I my conditionners are empty, I'm going to go all in on that ! (I don't want to waste them just because I've now discovered they're not aligned with what I want anymore). I wanted to thank you so very much for all the videos and all the precious information you pack in all of them. It's really helpful, and even though (because I haven't begun my journey yet) it can be overwhelming at the beginning, it's so helpful to me, it helps me feel that I'm going to make the best of it I possibly can. I bought the book on your recommendation and am going to read it carefully. I can't wait for your video on ingredients, because all of those names and words still sound giberish to me and I don't understand a single thing ! One thing is sure, I'll try to keep the advice of this one in mind when purchasing my first set of products. (if you recommend products for europeans, like me, I found the website Le Curlshop lecurlshop.com/fr/ that seem to have a lot of CG friendly products for at least French people and maybe the shipping would be more affordable than Amazon for some of those products.)

I think what I would add is that, for me, at least, my curl pattern (2b) is definitely relevant to the products I choose. I know I'm always looking for products that are curl enhancing but for many of those who have a tighter curl pattern than me "curl enhancing" just means "too much shrinkage!" In that way, I suppose your personal hair goals are also relevant, even if you have a similar texture to someone else. If volume is the most important thing to you, you probably have different product needs from someone for whom clumping is most important, even if you have the same pattern/width/porosity/density.

Ehhhhh, I agree and disagree. Yes, products can have a tremendous effect on my hair, but so can techniques, ie diffusing vs air drying. If I use no styling products on my hair, and air dry, it's almost straight (but super poofy); if I use no styling products but diffuse, it looks almost the same as if I had used products, but doesn't have much hold. So, curly pattern is curl pattern. Yes, we can influence it, but we can't make it do more than it wants to. We can also make it straighter/stretch it. Ah, the malleability of protein. These three areas are still the most relevant, regardless of your personal preference. Coarse hair is going to suffer from too much protein in leave-on products; fine hair will fall flat and lank without it. High porosity hair will suffer without enough layers of moisture to keep water in; low porosity hair will suffer with layers of buildup keeping water out. High density hair can be tangled and out of control without enough product; low density hair is weighed down and looks dirty with too much product. That's why these are the basics, no matter the personal preference of the person under the hair.
@scoutlaceharding6 жыл бұрын
In terms of essentials, I definitely agree; width, density, and porosity are definitely the MOST relevant. Especially when you're considering the health of your hair.

Have you tried any hair DIY? The Black hair community has tons of great ideas. I learned about making Tea hair rinse (great for shedding), rice water treatment (protein treatment), and flax seed hair gel. I’m 61, white, & have dyed my hair since age 12. I stopped using heat & started the curly girl routine 5 years ago. These recipes have really helped.

Yes, the black community and indigenous cultures across the globe are big into DIY treatments, it's amazing. I haven't been much into putting food on my head, but I'll try anything (within reason!) once...

Thank you so much for this information!! I am an avid Type A note taker, so I watched this twice and self analyzed my hair. (Goosefootprints is scheduling into Sept. 2019!! Yikes!) My journey begins with my next wash, as soon as I get some of my products. I do realize this is a process, but one of my colleagues (I am a physician and advocate at the Capitol in Austin, so very conservative dress, suits, makeup. Yes, even in ATX! We keep it weird by wearing cowoy boots, fun accessories and colorful suits at the Capitol.) did the CG method and she looks so polished with her curly/wavy hair. Keeping it real, weird as I start the journey. Thanks again!

real life+curly girl I love you both as a team too, you two are my favorite. Question, how long did it take you to figure out, to really know your hair? I just started late June and I was going with low porosity, due to hair floating. And now just realizing it's high porosity. I have colored my hair now for at least 20 years every 6 weeks or so to cover grey, My hair is fine, dry, colored, not a lot of it, scalp makes some lovely appearance (LOL). Yesterday I used a vo5 protein to co-wash, then Mielle babassu & mint deep conditoner (for 30 mins) then used GVP Balm to co-wash and a tad to leave in, then spiralious, then very little of Krystal ECO (because I fear glycerine). Looked pretty good before beddie by, medussa clippings, although cast was pretty much broken already :(. This morning wake up to very little curl but a lot of frizz, had to get to work quickly so Monday is really a frizzy day but I have some volume, I can hear you saying "voluuume" on your videos and "if that's not your jam", love it, you crack me up. Could you advise a little/tad/minuscule amount at some point, you do already but I'm realy trying to beg here, because I know you hold the goods? Thank you either way Missey!!!

Thank you this is really handy. I've seen many videos about porosity and texture etc but this is so far the best explanation and also helpful tips on the products. I really find your videos helpful. I've learned so much here. Great way of explaining.

So my hair is originally not wavy but curly, I'm more of a type 3, but that's not visible right now. After 17 years of using the straightening iron every week, my hair is wavy/straight right now. I started the CG method 4 months ago. I've had a hard time finding the right products for me personally. My hair thickness is medium (with some really thick hairs there too), I don't think it's thin because they're quite visible (I have brown colored hair); the density is also medium to thick I think, it's definitely not thin because I've always had a lot of hair. The porosity is the one thing I'm not sure of, the hair strand in the water glass resulted in hair floating even hours later. I have to say though that one thing I've definitely figured out is that my hair doesn't seem to like thick and rich curling creams. It looks weighed down and greasy. Unless I just use a tiny amount through the whole hair and then a gel. It could of course be that the quality of my hair has been affected by all that heat damage. The only good thing I can say is that I have not used any chemicals in my hair, no coloring and no chemical straightening. Just heat damage.
@littleminna6 жыл бұрын
I think that protein is good for me at least now, maybe because of all that heat damage. My hair really seems to like the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor oil deep conditioner, which has protein in it.

Love love love your channel! You've helped me SO much on my CG journey! I used to rock my natural waves/curls but chopped off 10 inches and dyed my hair for a more stylized "polished" look about a year ago. Been using hot tools for the first time in over a decade and hairspray (ick!). Ugh, I wish I would have done more research before doing that! Now I miss my long locks :( BUT you've given me hope and I'm back on the curly wagon and on the road to repairing my mane
