Hi there! Thanks for sharing this information with us. My hair is HP. It absolutely LOVES thick conditioners, butter and hair grease! I just recently learned how to cornrow my own hair is I’ve been doing that to the front and putting the back in either mini buns or thicker cornrows to for my drawstring ponytails. It’s been only 2 months and my hair has grown so much thicker, 4 sections no longer is an option for me now! All Praises to The Most High God🙏🏾🙌🏾💪🏾

Knowing my hair porosity and how to care for my hair has been the best thing that ever happened to my hair. I'm from a family where our hair grows really slow. And also, we don't have that beautiful hair texture. I'd tried different products and nothing was working. When I learned my hair was low porosity and I understood that that my hair needed lighter products and oils that can easily penetrate my hair strands, that when my hair started thriving. I got lighter oils for my hair, washed my hair with warm water, used lightweight conditioners and completely stop using butters that will just sit on top of my hair and give buildups. When I started caring for my hair the right way and not just following everything I saw people do on KZread, my hair started to grow longer and thicker. My whole family is now surprised that my hair could ever grow an inch. They'd asked me to go shave it since I didn't want to use extensions when braiding. Before then, I'd been praying for my hair and asking the Lord for beautiful hair. But it seemed impossible until I got knowledge of my hair porosity and started caring for my hair the right way. I got to then remember that the bible says "my people perish for lack of knowledge". For all that while, i'd been using the wrong kinds of products for my hair but expecting the Lord to give me beautiful hair 🤣. I'm grateful to God for teaching me about my hair and helping me care for my hair the right way. So for me, I'll say porosity should be the first step to hair care.

"Before then, I'd been praying for my hair and asking the Lord for beautiful. But it seemed impossible until I got knowledge" beautiful testimony!

Thank you for good information and involving God in our process 🙏🏾. Your hair is beautiful.

I love how you incorporate God into your videos and our hair. He indeed did fearfully and wonderfully create us, including our hair. You've gained a new subscriber. My hair loves the thick creams. It is thirsty. Loves moisture, takes it, but doesn't keep it in unless I seal it in.

Hi Charity, I think my hair is high porosity and loses moisture quite easily. My strands are fine but loves thick products. Lately, African Pride has been my go to brand. I thank GOD for my hair and its striving. ❤

Such beautiful hair 😍 So lovely to look at.

You probably hear this a lot but....your hair is so beautiful and healthy. Thank you for sharing your advice with us.

Mine is high porosity. My hair loves conditioners and butters. Thanks for sharing the video.

Flourishing hair👌

Yes I know my hair porosity. The knowledge of my hair porosity, has been the most helpful information in my hair growth journey. Prior to knowing, I was mainly doing trial and error, now I know specifics on hair care tailored to my specific hair type. Now I have seen visible improvement in my hair retaining moisture, as well as growth. I wish I had known about my hair porosity, a long time ago but I am glad I know it now.

Awesome! So glad to know that impact of the knowledge of hair porosity in your hair care journey!

I think it's important to know your porosity so then you can work out why it does certain things. I am high porosity and my hair loves oils and butters because it needs it to seal my fragile strands.

Wow ❤️❤️

Bless

I also just go by the thickness of my hair strands I don't know my porosity.

Thanks 😊 and God bless you. I quite agree with you, bcos even in ancient times, our ancestors especially in Africa knew nothing about porosity but took care of their hair with herbs that God provided and their hair thrived and blossomed. So whatever we do , we should always make God our first priority. And that's what I love about you. You have never not talked about God in all your videos. Thanks again 🥰 and God bless you. My prayer is that as christians, we make it to heaven. Amen.

Hey sis! How are you? God bless you! My hair is 4c thick low porosity thick strands, but funny thing is my hair prefer lighter product lol. For some reason my hair thrives better with water base light leave ins. My hair doesn’t like thick creams and thick butters 😅 but with my hair being low porosity, it’s thrive better when heat is added to open up the shaft to receive in the products. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏽

@@MrsCharityUmar thank you, it’s took me almost a year to figure that out because I noticed my hair would feel so weighed down, a lot of product residue would be sitting there, it would be so flaky, looking lifeless and then my hair would break as if it’s not getting the moisture properly and that when I transitioned to lighter products and sis let me tell you! 😎 it was a game changer for me.

@Dyniajiah My hair is low porosity and yes low porosity hair loves light products. Thicker products just sit on our hair rather than being absorbed into our hair strands. Our hair also loves heat. I now use warm water to wash my hair rather than cold water. This makes moisture enter our hair strands better. I learned how to take care of my low-porosity hair by following people with low-porosity hair. They always give insight on how to best care for our hair type. Low porosity hair also works best with lighter oils like olive oil, avocado oil, etc. Although I used to use lots of coconut oil before knowing because it sort of works for me too and avocado oils are scarce where I live. I recently started using olive oil and it is great. Which oils do you use?

For me, knowing my hair's porosity isn't important at all. Not knowing, for certain, what it is has not affected my hair care or length retention. I've kept my hair care simple all I do is shampoo, condition, and style. I style in twists on occasion, but I'd say 98% of the time I style in a wash-n-go. The styler I use depends on which style I'm going to do. If I'm doing twists I use either leave-in or mousse. If I'm doing a wash-n-go I use spray leave-in and medium-hold gel or custard.

Do you do any DIY to your hair dear..Eg.. moringa or amla etc😁😁😁
