My hair is kinky curly and I find what ever I do my hair always feels dry .my natural hair feels hard when I apply coconut oil. I now gone back to using hair grease to see if my hair will stay moisturised I used hair grease when I was younger also head and shoulders shampoo and my hair always grew down to my shoulders

[@janetidavies]

Check out my hair routine video, it may help xx. Again in my “why ur hair isn’t growing” you will see I said learn your hair and what it likes best. For me also coconut oil made my hair dry, olive oil works alot better to seal moisture

[@lonalis4224]

@@janetidavies thanx I have found my hair likes rapeseed and olive oil.

Ok so I did the water test to my hair and it’s like the my hair floated for 3 minutes and some of my pieces of hair sinked, and the hair that sinked floated right back up. So I’m so very confused at this point.

[@nicolecampbell2734]

Very helpful info. Thanks girl 💕

You are most welcome beautiful ♥️

Thanks for the insight

[@choudelecitenga206]

Thank you so much for all your help. I have a short 4C afro. The problem that I have been facing is that the hair on my sides, right at the back of my ears is not growing. It has a different texture compared to all of my hair. It feels dry and brittle no matter how much I do treatment & moisturize it. I sleep on my sides so I make sure I alternate sides and cover my hair with a silk scarf. I tried cutting all my hair to the same length so that I can regrow all of it again but those 2 portion are still not growing. Please help me!

Hey do you prepoo your hair on wash day and if so what do you recommend for as a prepoo for low porosity 4c natural hair?

[@phillippagibson-pierre5069]

What about normal porosity? I really think I have normal porosity, my hair doesn't fit in to high or low category.

[@janetidavies]

Then you are blessed! I would use both protein and moisturising treatments in almost equal amounts to get the balance right.e.g protein 1 month, moisturising the next, see how your hair reacts and adjust accordingly. Hope this helps xx

[@mawunyograce4891]

Dear Jane, I want to ask that if my hair is really dried then I devide a small portion and add oil to moisturize that section, then I take a strand from that section and also another strand from the dry section to test my hair porosity, will that give me same results?

[@janetidavies]

Hi, it probably wont. It’s best with dry hair

[@mawunyograce4891]

@@janetidavies thank you

[@maureenezegbunam373]

please for the porosity test am i to use warm or cold water

[@janetidavies]

Room temperature water is fine! ♥️

[@maureenezegbunam373]

ok..then i am a low porosity hair

[@jadathompson9247]

Hi Janet! I did have a question. Is it best to get your hair trimmed on wet hair or dry hair? I am only asking because I don't like getting my hair blown out anymore (it's actually been a year) but I feel like my hair length is stagnant because I get my hair trimmed on wet hair every 3-4 months. Your thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@janetidavies]

Hi Jada, I would have to say dry only because our hair is more elastic when wet and so the ends can fray a little more. Perhaps go a little longer with trims, that may help? There are also ways to get hair dried heatless. I hope this helps!

[@laveraatieno7179]

Can sunlight heat help low porosity hair cuticles to absorb moisture

[@janetidavies]

Haha this made me chuckle! I suppose so, heat is heat!!

[@e.1544]

My phone got taken away for no reason

[@mawunyograce4891]

If I understand you well, it means you're hair is low porosity but you've been able to grow it this long?

[@janetidavies]

Yes it is low porosity x

[@mawunyograce4891]

That's great Hardwork pays 👌👌

[@DEJones-et5hd]

Ms Janet Davis I'm sorry but stretching the hair causes hair loss because that is pulling on it and tugging at it from the follicles

[@janetidavies]

Nope, stretching the hair doesn’t need to “tug” on your follicles. Method is v important. Allowing type 4 hair in particular to shrink up causes knots and tangles leading to breakage, stretched hair is the best hair for tye 4 in my humble opinion, but do whatever works for you personally 🤗♥️

[@chelseachristenn]

love your hair! new subbie here! wondering how often you trim?

[@janetidavies]

About once to twice a year ♥️
