High porosity hair is having your hair dry out on your before you even finish styling 😑 this has been my struggle after relaxers. I've been natural for 4 years and still getting used to my new texture/porosity. The spray bottle is my best friend!!!

My problem is my hair drying and frizzing the moment I step outside It takes forever to dry when I'm in the house and finished adding products.

High porosity hair is such a struggle and I feel like most youtubers are all low porosity or they don’t know. Everyone works on hair type but everyone has a different definition for each type I feel like porosity matters way more.

I have high porosity hair and find that heavy butters are a no, no for me. If I were to seal with a heavy butter on wash day my hair will not be able to absorb anything else throughout the week. I made that mistake and had to wash my hair mid week to get rid of the residue. Vegetable Glycerine and Rhassoul Clay has been a game changer plus I do the Greenhouse method which keeps my hair hydrated throughout the day. I no longer wash my hair weekly just so my hair can maintain moisture for longer.

my hair is extremely high porosity!! like when im in the shower my hair does not get weighed down. it has so much volume soooo its a struggle. thank u for this i really needed this....maybe a hair routine for high porosity hair

I have high porosity and I also find that the LCO method works best. Aussie has a really good avocado intense/ hydration sealing oil I use after my leave in and cream plus if you choose to blow dry and silk press it doesn’t weigh your hair down

What would your recommend for high porosity hair that hates oils? I've been using leave ins but every time i use oils my hair becomes frizzy with no definition and if it touched in the slightest it just falls apart.

Butters are your best friend when your high porosity.....Shea butter and castor oil are my besty......Cantu is lit for high porosity thick hair.....there leave in, mask coconut curling cream, creamy hair lotion.....really love it....it's affordable and works great 4 high porosity.....Cantu get some hate but I don't no why.

I have high porosity hair that I find easy to keep hydrated the key is layering products LCOS works best with S being a styler ie heavy gel. Staying away from heavy humectants such as Glycerin is key because you will end up with hair that looks and acts like cotton candy in high dew points. So that pretty much means no to Cantu products. I recommend Oyin Hair Dew, any/all Smooth Natural products( slept on company one of the best HG status) Curl Junkie Beauty Curls, Creme Brûlée by Beja Flora is amazing buttery cream, Aloe Vera juice mixed with water in a spray bottle to close down the cuticle( girl bye with the too cold for me water rinse in the shower) also use to keep hair wet during styling. Love natural hair gels but can leave me looking like a dandy lion due to high humectants. Swear by clay treatments to pop and elongate curls DYI works well but don’t sleep on Sorenzo, Soultanicals clay wash/conditioners. D/C with each wash alt moisturizing vs protein conditioners for balance think SM Manuka, CR Coconut Water, CR Holiday Collection , Bobeam Condish (slept on get you some) Miche DC, vs SM High Porosity DC,SM Sacha Inchi DC,Mielle Babassu DC, Sorenzo Pumpkin DC, Eva Nye DC. Oils and butter to seal. Butters I love such as CC Naturals, Sorenzo creamy oil, Koils by Nature . SN Perfect Moisture LI conditioner and hair milk are a must have!!!! Common thread is LI creams and milks have NO GLYCERIN hard hold gels will have glycerine to keep the gel playable. Layering with a light to med hand is key!!! I go heavy with the gel with Wet Line Extreme as a favorite! So yep high porosity hair takes wrk but I typical do not have issue with dryness my fight is keeping atmospheric moisture out 😠

But my hair is so damaged now. I still think cantu works great for my hair....but maybe I need to change...it's just I can't really afford the products you mentioned out of my price range..... Natural hair products are so expensive.....I don't live in the states either wer you might get it cheaper. I use Locs.

The only thing that actually maintains moisture for me is using a concoction I came up with - body lotion mixed with glycerin. I apply it to wet hair, detangle and then scrunch up the curls to get the pattern how I like it. Air dry and you're good to go. This doesn't feel heavy or greasy and it keeps friz at bay for the day. I have high porosity color and heat damaged 3C hair and this is the only thing that works perfectly for me. Try it out and see how it works for you.

I don't use oil on my hair because its already oils in the products I use, plus I have fine strands so adding oil would probably weigh my hair down. The bask and bloom products are good too.

i’m not sure who’s video it was I watched this past week I think it was Halfrican Beauty that said for high porosity hair you should do leave in, oil, and then cream so you’re doing moisture, sealing in the moisture and then just adding extra moisture on top of it so maybe you can try that. i’m going to start that on my HiPo hair

My problem is that every product weighs my hair down and like an hour after it’s tried, all my volume is gonna and my hair looks stringy and gross

Coconut Oil is penetrating. It is good but for sealing it will never compare to Castor Oil.

Not sure if you found a solution...but I have high porosity, fine but dense hair and I can’t use heavy products either. My hair loves Kinky Curly Knot Today as a leave in, almond oil which is light, and gels work better for me. Glycerin is NOT my friend in a styler (I live in a humid climate) so I found Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Stimulator and Jessicurl Spiralicious gels are good for me. I’ve never had luck with creams, even lighter ones. I’m guessing because they usually have glycerin, but maybe you can tolerate a lighter one.

Maybe incorporate it in your deep conditioning routine! That way you won’t have to keep it on your hair for and extended period of time.

Also make sure you are tying up your hair when you’re at home so it’s not laying on your face. I hope that kinda helps!
