    Thank you!!! You are the only youtuber that really helped me with my low porosity hair. I was doing this all wrong. My conditioner build up even started causing psoriasis 😣 my hair finally is starting to behave.

    I just recently realized I have low porosity hair, I have baby fine strands so the water test doesn't work well for me, but I am pretty sure I finally have an answer! my hair is endlessly dry and hates protien! I have such a hard time getting moisture into it...ugh. I agree my hair looks best when I use shampoo, assuming it's due to build up, but my hair is fuller and bouncy on shampoo days! I use matrix hydrosource because everything else seems to drying for me! I agree no one size fits all, unfortunately. My hair can also handle a heavier conditioner...even though you wouldn't think so! I have cut out protien and try to avoid silicone, my hair is sooo much better, actually feels soft ( for my hair that is) for the first time....ever!
    So happy to have found channels like yours, you have helped me sooo much! Hairdressers around here just don't seem to understand curly hair, not to mention difficult curly hair!

      I know how difficult it is to find stylist that really understand curly hair! Honestly, if it wasn’t for UA-cam I probably still wouldn’t have embraced my natural texture and learned how to manage it! Thank goodness for videos like these! :) i’m just so happy to be able to pay it forward and help others to learn how to embrace and love their curls too!

Or if you could do a video of products that you find work best for low porosity and protein sensitivity.

      @Irina IvanovaDoesnt matter you can still use black natural hair products....and the reason why there's mostly black girls is because there is a large community of black female natural hair bloggers on UA-cam creating content on black hair in general not all are low porosity but alot are. Also black hair is generally harder to take care of so we need representation of that online to help other black women with their own hair issues and so on.

    It's really hard when your curly hair is super coarse and wiry like mine. It's like I have springs growing out of my head. If I don't use a thicker leave-in, I end up with frizz. I try to put the leave-in on with some warm water to spread it around so it sinks into my hair.

    Hello! I have wavy - curly hair that's thick and my hair is always frizzy, and I live in a very dry and high - elevation area
    What do you recommend?

    • @abbydesouza4933
      @abbydesouza4933 4 роки тому +5

      Shampoo and Deep condition once a week using a plastic cap with a towel over so it creates some humidity so the product soaks into your hair . When styling section your hair and apply a light weight leave in conditioner completely on 50-60% dried hair then apply a light gel and scrunch your hair . Then you can diffuse and add a light oil like jojoba / sweet almond oil. Make sure you sleep with a silk bonnet and on a silk / satin pillow case. If you need to refresh your hair the next day you can apply a mixture of leave in conditioner with water and then add gel and oil if needed . Keep in mind however low porosity hair gets build up easily so you mightn’t want to keep applying products everyday. Also stay away from products with protein and protein treatments as it tends to dry out low porosity hair. I’m still experimenting and going through a lot of trial and error as well as I have low porosity hair , it’s difficult to find what works. Hopefully this helps !

So now I figured out why my hair doesn't really keep its curl Co washing doesn't really do much for low porosity hair I have low pooed a few times to get out build up but I guess I'm going to have to do it more often then I thought I love as I am cowash oh my gosh I don't know if I can leave it the only thing is there's no I like to use as I am product line so and they don't have a regular rinse out conditioner all they have is a leave-in and there are curly girl friendly line they have a rinse out in there or Lux line but I don't think it's curly girl friendly and they also have a deep conditioning which I know you can't use that as a regular leave in so I'm sorry for all them rattling off here putting my thoughts down here trying to find a curly girl that matches my hairstyle and my hair needs by finding hair properties that match thank you you have beautiful hair and beautiful curls!

    Can girls with non girly low porosity hair use deva curl?

      sure, I don't see why not! But since they are formulated for curls they might be a bit heavy on straight hair depending on which products you purchase.

    YOU KEEP SAYING TO BE CAREFUL OF INGREDIENTS IN PRODUCTS But you haven't said WHAT Ingredients to watch out for 😮

    Are you Caucasian? I am asking because people think low porosity is just for kinky hair girls.
