EVERYTHING You Need To Know About LOW POROSITY Hair | DOs DONTs & HACKS!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

"HEYYYY COUSINS" lol Although SOME naturalistas have learned all about hair porosity and how to make it work for their hair. I personally feel like when it comes to hair typing, the natural hair community has somewhat dropped the ball when it comes to educating new naturals on their hair's porosity level, as well as other aspects that I feel could be MORE beneficial than the standard hair typing system.

Tips for Low Porosity Girls (3:55-10:00)
As always, I incorporate ALL of these tips in my personal hair regimen and I never recommend anything that I haven't done to my hair myself. These tips work for ME, they may work for you... but as always... do what works best for YOUR hair.
Hair Details:
Shampoo: The Mane Choice Easy on The Curls
Leave-in: Paul Mitchell The Conditioner (Sally's Generic)*
Styler: EcoStyler Gel - Olive Oil
*Note: I will slowly begin phasing my leave-ins out of my regimen and incorporating more hair milks. I will occasionally still use the Paul Mitchell, but I want to focus more on lighter weight milks and moisturizers.
What is your favorite hair milk to use for your wash and go?

    Another tip that I got from another KZreadr was to put a conditioning cap on after the leave-in but before the styler. Leaving the cap on for 10-15 minutes allows your body heat to open your hair shaft to allow the leave-in to penetrate into the hair before you add the styler. It works for me.

When I started using the new shea moisture line for low porosity, it was a game changer for me. They don't have a deep conditioner yet so for now I just use the conditioner and add oils to it as a deep conditioner.

    Mud washes are a game changer for me. In fact, I consider it both a wash and a deep conditioner. As far as leave ins, I no longer use if. I go straight to a Gel like kinky curly curling custard and then go back seal each section with almond Oil. This may sound completely against what other Naturals do, but this is what has worked for me for the last 6 years. The reason I think mud washes work is because the ph level is higher and that allows the cuticles to lift in the hair and moisture or water is able to get in the strands. I can feel and see my hair taking in the Moisture. It is hanging lower and not sticking up in the air and the curl definition is at its peak. I use Terressential hair mud wash in lemon scent. Before I use the mud wash I use a shampoo to get rid of the build up. The mud wash will not get rid of build up alone. That is why a shampoo has to be used. I use argan oil organixs because for some reason it helps my hair receive in more moisture. Once the Gel cast is broken I have really curly shiny and soft hair that needs very little moisture throughout the week because once the moisture is in low porosity hair it retains it for a while. I'm not saying this method works for everyone but for me it has been a game changer. The final thing is this, the more i used the mud wash, the more I noticed more curl definition and shine and softness even in those areas I have little to no curl definition.

    ABSOLUTELY TRUE about shampooing... For the first time in 2 years yesterday I used shampoo. I kept wondering why my wash n' go's would never come out right. Well, I shampooed my hair yesterday and used 1 leave-in conditioner (usually I use 2), my hairfinity oil and eco styler gel, and the result was my first ever successful wash n' go. I stumbled upon this video, which confirmed why my wash n' go came out so beautiful. Before my curls looked uneven, although my hair was cut even at the salon professionally. My hair had major shrinkage on one side while the other looked stringy, weighed down, and dried out, making wash n' go's for me impossible. I now realize that I had major buildup going on from the constant co-washing of my low porosity hair. So with that said, I am glad to have incorporated shampoo back into my wash routine. Thanks for the research and wealth of natural hair knowledge. 😘

    Once, long before I was even thinking about embarking on my natural hair journey and I would give my hair a break from the creamy crack, I went to a hairdresser. She thought it a good idea to give my hair a protein treatment instead of an oil treatment. I didn't know yet that I have low porosity hair and that my hair was sensitive to protein. OMG, my hair turned out "hard", stiff, I tell you. She could hardly blow dry it in a style. That was a very big lesson I learned about my hair. I do give my hair a protein treatment every once in a while but I make sure to give it a good deep conditioning, too. In fact, I deep condition on a weekly basis. Warm water is one of my hair's best friends.

I saw that when I rinsed my hair with apple cider it made my curls pop and my hair soft actually and then I would heat my hair mask then rinse it out then shampoo with glycerin/ humectant and then I would warm my elongated product on my hair for about 15 min with my hair in a ponytail to stretch it more then rinse and put a moisturizer. This was working until I added conditioner. So I will go back to milks. Thanks again girl. You're awesome and I subbed

    So, I have low porosity hair (my hair floats on top during the water test). But it takes color easily and products don't sit on top (anymore). Using hot/warm water changed my life, though, and my coils look better when leave-ins are applied on dripping wet hair. I also swear by products with glycerin, honey, avocado anything (oil or butter) and aloe Vera. Liquid products don't work as well as creams, for me, but Idon't pile on creams or my hair will never dry and ,will stay with white residue! I wash twice a week because, yes, I get product build-up. I use shampoo once and a co-wash (Shescentit only) or DevaCare No-Poo for the mid-week wash. I deep condition twice a week. Hair milk is too light for me. Perhaps my hair is normalizing? It was all kinds of high when I first went natural, but now that I'm almost at the 7 month mark, it takes moisture so much better, especially water!!!!!!

    I do use the warm water. I just now for the first time didn't use a leave in just two days ago. I used the As I Am So Much Moisture and pink eco Styler Gel and I love it! I shampoo now rather than co-wash. I use to use glycerin but I stopped. Gotta go back to that. I have low porosity hair as well.

    Patricia Rice maybe you're using the wrong products for your hair. Are you low or high porosity? Once I realized I'm low porosity I've been getting better results. You have to deep condition often and let it sit for awhile. What conditioner are you using?

    I always washed my hair with hot water because it feels good up until recently when I really started to focus on growing my hair and I thought it was damaging, but what really helps my to get the moisture to stay in is to plat my hair and tie it down at least for a few hours after I put the moisturiser in it

I also want to give a tip, if you already know about this, then, good for you! For those of you, that have to untangle your hair, do it in the shower with warm water. The weight of the water untangles your hair better than any product and it stays untangle to the next wash day.

    Hair Mary: I used to use Paul Mitchell's 'The Conditioner' but it seemed to stop working. I remembered my mother using a detangler on my hair when I was little that worked like MAGIC. Now I use Paul Mitchell's 'The Detangler'. In shower, I shampoo, detangle+sunflower oil, then bathe. I rinse out most but not all just before leaving the shower (all warm water). My fine, low porosity hair loves it. I thought I was alone with Mr. Mitchell. I also wash more often during the week (3-4 times) because of build up. Your words here are true and help to make since of my natural hair after experimenting with ALL the other Natural Hair suggestions. When I tried other methods, my hair wouldn't grow because it was dry and would break. Now I am right back to where I started. Thank you. Subscribed!

    You cracked me up about the hair milk. I really like using hair milk under my gel, and I've had friends laugh at me for doing it. I pretty much just ignore them because it works for me. Leave in was a newer thing for me, and I started using it from watching YT videos. I used to us hair milk all the time with and without gel. My hair is softer, shiner, and more fluffy with hair milk than with leave in. I like As I Am moisture milk, Mielle organics moisturising hair milk, Garnier Anti humidity smoothing milk, Camille rose curl love moisture milk, Carol's daughter original hair milk, and if your okay with shea moisture (cuz well, you know) coconut and hybiscus curl and style milk. I have alot of others that I like, but this list would be even way longer. lol
