@@TravelleLavar can you do a similar video of high porosity hair

[@cressiddabreo5683]

I left a similar comment. I will be traveling from Brooklyn NY to Chicago. He is absolutely knowledgeable and care about his clients hair and gifted at what he does. I usually get my hair done wash and roller set then blow out then wrap.. I have never had it blown out while wet or flat iron.

[@TCt83067695]

I thought it was grey hair in the thumbnail

[@ascendingLOTUS]

When you’re thinking the same thing somebody commented lolol 🤩

[@lilambe]

Once I realized I was low porosity the WHOLE game changed. Finally realized why co washing didn’t work for me, why a cold rinse after deep conditioning made my hair feel like straw etc. Learning my porosity literally helped me 1000x more than learning my hair type 😂

[@GinaJonesStillettoQueen]

Mine would break off if i didnt healt style. I felt that was so odd 😂😂😂

[@angelinakapweya]

I can ABSOLUTELY attest to this!!! It took me about 3 or 4 years of constant trial and error before coming across a video that spoke of hair porosity (I didn't even know what that was at the time), and when I found out mine is low porosity, everything started making sense: the coconut oil 😖, the egg and Mayo treatments that would just sit on top of my hair, the PROTEIN OVERLOOOOOAAADDD 😭😭😭😭, the petroleum... I could go on 😂. But if there's one thing I've had to embrace through trial and error as well as finding out my hair porosity, it's PATIENCE! Taking the time to read through ingredients lists on EVERY products before purchasing, what to look out for (and either avoid or incorporate) and especially sitting under a dryer. It's been QUITE the journey, but I can really see the fruits of my labour after my second big chop in 2022 😊

[@karthompson1280]

If you haven’t already, you should consider writing a book. With your knowledge and experience it’s a winning combination. Put a good intellectual property out there, promote it and make some passive income. I thoroughly enjoy the academic nature of your videos. The styling process is just cherry on the top. May God continue to bless you and your work.

[@TravelleLavar]

It’s in the works 🙌🏽

[@lwandilemakhathini7952]

We need a high porosity silk press 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏼

[@Jasmine-gv3uj]

I have low porosity hair and my natural hair looks a lot like this client's. This video taught me SO much. I learned about my own hair type and where the shininess comes from when it's straight. Now I understand that it's all about how the outer cuticles lie flat and that's what makes it reflect light and look like a mirror as you said. I really appreciate your videos because you point out the beauty of all hair types. Low porosity hair can be frustrating because it is on the drier side, and this is something I have always been a little insecure about, but now I see that the dryness has a scientific reason which also gives my hair its ability to shine. I have come to see how my hair type is unique and beautiful thanks to you and your content. Cannot emphasize how grateful I am! Thank you 💕

I live in NJ and I need someone like you to treat my hair, man. I have a question: I have low porosity hair, if I want to blow-dry my hair weekly using the appropriate treatment, will that be fine with my hair?

[@janieceokpobiri3163]

Omg the education was one thing but then when you said that you respect how much of a cut a client wants…. I’m obsessed. I’m officially a fan! We need more stylists like you! Educated and respectable!

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into educating us on our hair and especially what's ACTUALLY important. God bless your hands. ❤️

[@ms.c3994]

Mannn....I hollered when he said, "if Suzy wants to hold on to 9" of dead hair..." I love him! He keeps it so raw and honest! I just started going to a cosmetologist In the Austin, Tx area who reminds me so much of him. Very knowledgeable, honest, and raw. No nonsense, but understands she is a service provider and not a hair god. This video gave me life this AM. I love the way he respectfully keeps it 💯 on the KZbin natural hair influencers whom most are not licensed cosmetologists leading many into false hopes that the products, regimens, or methods they use will give the viewer the same result(s) without ever thinking about the important roles genetics and chemistry play in the result/outcome of a hairstyle! Keep teaching em' brother! God bless!

[@SwtT-MeMe]

You are special...talented...intelligent...an artist in your field. I love these videos. SO INFORMATIVE

[@krismoore2086]

Okay. So while blow drying and straightening my own hair, I have literally binge watched all of your videos! I am extremely impressed by your work and even more so your KNOWLEDGE! I really respect the fact that you a) know the science behind hair b) customize your services to each client and c) really are passionate about what you do. You are doing a fan- TAB- ulous job ! Please keep it up! I wish you were in Atlanta, I would love to have you bless my mane!

If you could list the products you use that would be great. That way those of us with hair type & texture that is the same or quite similar to the person in video would know good products to use. As products in the store don't ever have labels that state for low, medium, or high porosity. Thank you this was informative and relaxing to watch.

[@Jasmine-gv3uj]

also I appreciate what you said about being a service provider, and I think it's fulfilling to find the value in providing a service to others - if you think about it, almost any kind of career provides a service to others. stylists, teachers, artists, editors... the list goes on and on. i look forward to going to work even though my job title is not flashy because i feel valuable when i can provide a service to someone else, and make their day better. it makes me feel better about myself to know that my actions have a positive impact for other people

[@sylviaruth5008]

For years I held possessions of supervision, and I always instructed the employee to “submit” up under. To be subservient to the person that was in need and most often felt less than. To make them feel as if though they were in control and not us. Because the reality was that without them we wouldn’t have had a job.

I feel you about low porosity hair and protein treatments. I'm still learning about my hair and I believe I have low porosity hair because it does take a while to get thoroughly wet. And I do steer clear from any protein treatments. Am was trying to figure out if I am protein sensitive or have protein overload from years ago when I did a protein treatment on myself. My hair hadn't been the same since. But maybe I had a negative affect because I have low porosity and it just say on my hair like your saying. Thanks for giving and alternative such as olaplex or a professional done bond system. You are a great teacher, you are so knowledge and you absolutely slay hair. Don't worry about what the people say. Keep educating up because I have learned everything I needed to know about low porosity hair and I now know that's what I'm dealing with. ❤️.
