[@e.o.a101]

I know right? Some people start blabing for atleast 5 minutes before starting .It's like get on with the topic. 😒😯

Yes.. I subscribed just because of that.

1. Hair takes a long time to get wet 2. Product builds-up easily on hair 3. Deep conditioner sits on top of hair 4. Your hair absorbs products better on damp hair rather than wet or dry hair 5. Hair does not like heavy butters/oils 6. Can't just co-wash 7. Hair hates coconut oil on it's own 8. Must smooth in your leave in conditioner or it will just sit on top of hair 9. Protein sensitive 10. Hair is resistant to chemicals

[@lynmariehernandez6336]

this whole video i was like "yep...yep...yep...YEP...yEP"

[@LunarNoire]

Lynmarie Hernandez same here. Especially the miosturizer one. I have to have it sit forever to get it to do something. I don't have a heating cap so I got creative and take my big heating pad and use a hair clip to clip the cloth cover it's in and make it into a bonnet and throw that on my head with my cap and call it day. This video hit all of the point for my hair. My hair does well with creams and stuff like curl activator and that stay so fro hair spray. It loves that stuff😄😘😘😘

[@pronouncedbeauty]

This video just changed my life. I'm not even being dramatic. I always thought my hair was just extra dry, thick, and coarse. Those things are all true. But I never even realized that porosity was a thing! I feel like I've been doing everything wrong and that's why my hair is so dry! Thank you!!!!

[@IydaChristopher]

[@memyselfandi7782]

Just found out what porosity hair was about a day or two ago. Finally life made sense!

[@Littlething41]

when I was getting a relaxer, I kept hearing that I needed protein. Now that I'm natural, I couldn't figure out why my hair would be super curly and juicy washing with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner but AS SOON as I deep conditioned with a Protein conditioner my hair changed completely! Happened to me again yesterday so now I'm on the hunt for knowledge. lol

[@HappygirlLC]

I like the way you talk and articulate very well !! I'm french and you're english is so well that it's easier for me to understand !

[@IydaChristopher]

Thank you :)

[@latishal.8142]

You’re so pretty

[@queenbea2137]

Great tips! I'm probably the only person with low porosity hair that actually likes heavy butters 🤔 lol. Lightweight moisturizers do not do anything for my hair.

[@IydaChristopher]

Queen Bea are you sure you are low porosity ?! Lol jk, I guess there are diff levels of low porosity and you may not be as low porosity as me. May I ask which butters you use? Also, do you use a small amount and do you have to smooth it in to penetrate your hair? Thanks !!

[@queenbea2137]

Iyda Michael I use products with shea and ghee butters. I have to warm it up and use a lot to smooth it in.

[@normanisqueen5028]

Queen Bea same as me😂😂😂

[@ketadouglas8165]

Queen Bea we might be medium im the same way

[@beckc101ify]

I have low porosity hair that also LOVES heavy oils. It's the only way to keep my hair moisturised for more than a day!

[@justinehorton2527]

My hair hates coconut oil, but loves olive oil and mango butter. However, I don't use commercial conditioners as they make my scalp flake. I use a sulfate free shampoo and flaxseed gel with oil in it as a leave in conditioner. My scalp has been better than ever and my hair is shinier after a fresh wash. I think I have low porosity yet fine hair.

[@IydaChristopher]

Justine Horton oh wow!! That sounds amazing. I’ve been meaning to try flaxseed gel, do you have a recipe! Also, for the magi butter, is it whipped or you buy it! I wanted to try that as well bc shea butter is too heavy for my hair

[@justinehorton2527]

Iyda Michael 1. I make my gel thick. 2 cups water to 1/2 cup flaxseeds. 2. I made the mango butter. It's not whipped, but creamy of sorts. It melts very well with the olive oil added to it. I also use it on my skin.

[@IydaChristopher]

Thanks for sharing, I will be trying it out soon! :)

[@IydaChristopher]

How do you get the flaxseed gel to squeeze out of the nylon when the gel is so thick? Thanks!

[@bennie.bernie9158]

Justine Horton how do I know if my hair likes a product or not?

[@babyhousewifee]

for 27 years ive been wondering depressed and upset about my hair, I find you 4am and you make me smile with a sigh of relief :) this video is so on point so glad I found you, I just got back into my natural hair for a full year now I wear braids and wigs but for the life of me I could never understand my hair. im gonna binge on all your videos. your perfect, thank you

[@cathylianaelizabeth]

My hair is so weird... it takes long to absorb water but can take in thick, heavy butters but it gets dry so fast. I can never win lol 😂

[@livy711]

Best video on low porosity hair I’ve seen. I always thought that I should use really heavy products because of how thick my hair is.

[@IydaChristopher]

Thank you! Have the heavy products been working out for you? I have been reading some comments from people with 4B/4C hair that say that they have low porosity hair but like heavy butters! I want to do more research on that because I always thought that regardless of the hair texture, low porosity hair had a hard time absorbing heavy products.

[@amanahbrookins5487]

Iyda Michael yeah I'm 4b/4c on most of my hair and my hair loves thick creams and butters. However the back of my head is 3b/3c and it hates butters and creams. My whole head is low porosity

[@Imohadah]

Watching this in quarantine, and I just realised I'm low porosity, I always thought I was high.

[@yanniyanni5800]

Wow, very informative! I thought I was low porosity but I'm the opposite of everything she said about low porosity. My hair gets wet very easily and dries in on only a few seconds. It absorbs anything I put on it. My hair has fine strands, low density and a loose curl so this info will guide me toward taking better care of my hair as well. Really appreciate!

[@FemmeFatalV]

Same!

[@talkingtoawall5123]

Me too. Im new to curly girl method so i was v confused about these things

[@BeaunaturelleFeb11]

And that's why Shea Moisture Curl enhancing Smopthie and the like are just WAAAAY too thick for my hair to absorb.

[@IydaChristopher]

Me too!

[@monicapettaway615]

BeaunaturelleFeb11 the curl enhancing smoothie made my hair flake

[@rachelmagdelena5]

Shea Moisture has a low porosity line and it works wonders for me

[@racquelfagan7763]

BeaunaturelleFeb11 I’m newly natural and I’m learning hard.

[@deboracolumbie2756]

Add some water to it and make it the consistency you’d like. That’s what I did because I felt that it was to heavy and it worked great. I also mix 2 teaspoonfuls in to an 8 ounce spray bottle and shake it till its fully mix and use it as a refreshing spray/milk.

I've been in denial about having low porosity hair ever since I learned what porosity is. I have all of the 10 signs as well and this video really helped me come to terms with the fact that my porosity is low. I did the sink or float water test on my son's and my own hair and the results showed that we both have low porosity. Thank you for this video.

[@franminconradie8074]

Girl, I am only seeing this video now and boy oh boy, you are preaching the truth! I always used the LOC-method and never really understood why my hair looked the way it did. After my second big chop just over a month ago, I tested my hair porosity and a lot of things made sense. Thank you so much for the informative video. I was literally saying "Oh my gosh, yes yes" the entire time.

[@schondra1993]

I've watched countless number of natural hair videos and I never leave a comment but thank you SO MUCH for this video! This was a huge help. I've been natural for 3 years and I just learned why I have a lot of the problems you listed! Now, I'm on my way to search how to deal with low porosity hair LOL.

I cannot say this strong enough - THANK YOU FOR THIS!! This is incredibly helpful. I have been trying to figure out for a very long time what my porosity is. Your breakdown of the SIGNS of low porosity hair was so much more helpful than the 'tests' to figure it out. I have been natural for 4 years and have struggled with having a definite answer on this. THANK YOU Sooooooo much!!!

[@EEVAbiz]

This is excellent information for me. I just did yet another BIG CHOP because I have been on chemotherapy since 2012. My hair texture changed and looked as if I had relaxed my hair mid-strand. All that is left now is my naturally curly, low porosity hair (new discovery). So, my journey into intentional care begins. Thank you for being so clear and informative.

[@briguy991]

Your video is SO spot on! Once I learned about hair porosity and realized my hair was low porosity and started doing all of the things in this video in my hair regimen it's the healthiest it's ever been and is growing like a crazy! (I have a fade in my pic but now have a fro, lol)

[@IydaChristopher]

Thank you! So happy that my video was helpful! :)

[@MidnightMystify]

Thank you for this! I just found out I'm low porosity. I've been doing high porosity treatments and I always wonder why my hair doesn't absorb things like high porosity. This video really helped me understand what I need to do for my hair.

[@carolsmith8719]

My hair is so similar in porosity to yours. Heat is a must if I want to get moisture from a moisturizing deep conditioner. I have to use a light hand on products, or my hair won't dry for DAYS.

[@IydaChristopher]

Right! I tried out a braid out a few days ago and it still wasn't completely dried after 3 days!! Way less product next time!

[@cocochanel290]

Omg exactly the same

[@XCocoaCutieX]

THIS video right here answered my questions! I've been wondering for years why my hair is always resistant. I realize because of my thin, low porosity hair that protein definitely helped. I used to use protein/hair mayo masks and back then my hair was very strong and long. I have no idea why I stopped doing that because since then for a very long time my hair hasn't been the same.

[@owainh1347]

Intim same here the struggle

[@ManoeTwerkmama]

When I do the cup test, the hair strand stays floating on top for a really long time, so that would indicate a low porosity. HOWEVER, my hair doesn't take a long time to get wet, neither does it take too long to dry. I also don't have the impression that leave in products are sitting on top of my head, they do easily penetrate my hair. It's so confusing, cause I have low porosity as well as high porosity signs and I don't really know what to make of it 😔

[@truth517]

That has nothing to do with low porosity. Thats your curl pattern. Are you 4c? That’s probably why it didn’t fully straighten.

[@truth517]

@@lilarwen1 I just realized this was from 3 years ago 🤣🤣🤣 ... I think because type 4 hair is so curly it doesn’t straight fully when chemically treated. I remember in middle school people would ask me if my hair was permed even though it wasn’t. And when I did get a perm my hair was bone str8. Not sure what my curl pattern is but I’m guessing the closer to type A the more it will straighten. That’s why I asked 😊

[@reyajerryaharris4539]

This really helped understand the signs my hair has relating to which porosity. However, I can’t tell the difference....sometimes it has high characteristics and low porosity characteristics at the same time. I had about 8/10 of these mentioned above. However my hair LOVES Cream based leave in conditioners, loves shea butter and castor oil, and actually dried really really quickly. But it also loves olive oil, hates coconut oil, and when I spray it with water I can see the water beads on my head and it takes forever to become completely soaked in the shower. But when it dries, it dries fast and frizzy....Any suggestions on which porosity I truly am?

[@msgummi]

damn... I thought for this entire time my hair was high porosity, but I can relate so much to all the things you’ve said. It’s time to change my habits !

[@brittanyterrell6780]

My hair is low porosity with medium dense strands. My hair does not like coconut oil at all. I didn't know that last tip about relaxers. I ALWAYS had to leave them in past the recommended time and no matter what it still had a curl or wave. I start my wash day with a baking soda rinse and that removes all my buildup and opens the follicles so that the products can absorb and then I usually seal up with a vinegar rinse after deep conditioning but if I forget it no biggie because my hair will seal itself

I am doing a big chop tomorrow. Want to grow virgin hair. Lol Your videos will help me

[@Ashley_Mariee]

oookayy.. i’m definitely low porosity 😭 thanks for the clarity ❤️

[@adrisoa]

thank u so much for this !! i needed confirmation to see if my hair really is low porosity !

[@ohh28]

wait my hair takes so long to get wet but it dries pretty fast if i don’t put any products in it… i‘m confused now💀✋🏽 what porosity do i have?

[@SofiaHarper]

Thank you so much for this video. One of the main reasons I went natural is because relaxers never seemed to work. I got all the hair damage but not of the straightness. Anyway, I'm currently looking for a moisturizing routine. The only ones that tend to work are protective styles, because yes products just tend to sit on top of my hair.

[@amber7591]

I struggled soo much until I figured out this porosity thing. Great presentation!

[@elizabethdiaz9813]

Can you make a video on what products you use on a daily basis to maintain your hair? You literally described my hair in this video and I’m just so confused with what products I need 😩 thanks for the video btw I needed it!♥️👌🏽

[@alexp5885]

this is amazing. you answered all my questions! thanks for that tidbit at the end--i started the curly girl method thinking i had high porosity hair because my hair dresser said i did (nevermind that she was always trying to convince me to do expensive straightening treatments and bleach my hair when i said i didnt want to). any time i use the regimen of women with high porosity my hair is just stiff, dull, with product caked on in layers. i cant wait to try some low porosity products!

Fractionated coconut oil might be worth trying out, all the larger fat chains are taken out of it, so it doesn't solidified at all (unless you were to freeze it, I guess), and it's suppose to penetrate better and offer the same results. I love that it basically comes out like water; it is not thick at all.

[@dq8330]

I recently discovered this and I kid u not. It's a game changer. My hair becomes so dry when I use thick oils and the water evaporates outside my hair in no time. But this watery coconut oil did wonders. It helped locking the moisture in for longer. Love it.

The keys to hair!! Thank you. I needed this for like 10 years!

[@virginiawilliams648]

I'm late to this video, watching in 2021. My hair must be a freak of nature because its gets wet fast & dries fast if "left out" but if I put any type of butter, or thick leave-in and twist it up, BABYYYY....my hair will take 2 days to dry! OMG!

[@JCovington1211]

Wow, this is sooooooo helpful! Seriously, I thought for the longest that I had high porosity hair because it is prone to dryness, but this makes a lot of sense! Thank you soo much!!!

[@IydaChristopher]

I'm glad I can help! :)

[@destiny.shantelle]

I used to assume my hair was high porosity because i have a lot of hair and my hair is dry alot so i use heavy products but it takes foreverrr to dry

[@snowjammer6400]

If your hair is damaged and your hair is low porosity, is it still low?

[@lizzienn507]

I believe so, there’s so many things that cause low porosity hair, it sucks but there are ways to control it!

[@sithesparkle]

Thank you! This was really helpful. I attribute bleached hair to high porosity, but everything you describe tells me my hair is low porosity.

[@adfmo2195]

This was so informative. Thanks so much for this video... all of these are my hair (except for 10. My hair straightened really well with relaxers)

[@peace_of_mind6079]

Oh my gosh!! You just explained my hair perfectly every complaint I have. 😭😭

[@TarahOvuDove]

This video was so helpful for me! I definitely have low porosity hair. Now I know what to do. Thank you!

[@Aphrodyuti]

I have 80% signs for high porisity yet I have that product build up issue for which I couldn't continue cgm.

[@kamilahboyd7920]

Great video. I now understand porosity of hair. I have high porosity...you explained this so well through your signs!
