This was extremely helpful to establish the correct hair regimen . I stopped the video and did the porosity test which is low porosity. I need to adjust my regimen. I did the big chop 2 months ago after 40+ years of using relaxers. Thank you so much for this information and the clay hair mask link.
Mawatta Dukuly Have you done the porosity test? Let me know what types of products work for you already so I can try to help you figure this out with you! 😊😊
Lakisha D I always ascribe to the idea that if my hair 1) absorbs the product, 2) FEELS soft/hydrated, 3) STAYS soft/hydrated for 24hrs+ it likes the product. There are TONS of products I’ve tried that my hair absorbs, but then leaves it feeling dry and brittle and I know right away it’s NOT for me. So in short, I really “listen” to my hair. If a product doesn’t FEEL & LOOK GOOD in my hair, it’s not for me. I hope this helps 😊😊
This is a tough one. I thought my hair loved as I am leave in conditioner because of the slip and how soft it felt but my hair always looked dry after I used it when I air dried my hair. I tried the Camille rose honey leave in conditioner and I hate the way it felt because it was rough however my hair looked shiny and retained moisture after it dried.
Hi there, I’m no expert but from my research about my own hair I hope this helps!! It sounds like you’re low porosity and seems like those products are just sitting on top of your hair!
My hair soaks up products. Products that work for me are the design essential moisture and avocados shampoos, the Michelle deep conditioners, castor oil. So what am i?
Based on that it sounds like a high porosity but I'm not you so idk how true that is. Besides the whole water method another way to find out your porosity is by feeling a single strand of hair. Just pass a finger up and down. If it feels smooth, this is because the cuticles are flat meaning its a low porosity, if its rough throughout the entire strand, high porosity and if it's in between its medium. Feel more than one strand of hair though cause it can be a mixed bag.
Nia Hope Hi Nia, my hair drys out really fast. The morning after washing and conditioning, it's very dry and dull. What is my hair porosity and what are some good products to use for wash-n- goes?
I have low porosity hair. I shampoo once a week, deep heat condition once a week and cowash twice a week. Daily I only use water with argan or jojoba oil. I find using creams are too heavy and dull/dry my hair. But I use my own shea butter and olive oil mix every few days. My hair is shiny and soft but I could cut down the cowashes but as I travel by train I hate dirty hair. What do you recommend then to keep my hair clean if I didn't cowash??
I did the water test and my hair did not sink. At the same time i just put a leave in conditioner 2 hours ago and my hair is dry not its just a lil greasy. Also my hair soaks water easily. Also oil dosent seat on my hair it sinks then later its dry not very dry and it just leave a little greasy. I dont even know the my porosity at this point
DJ Afrique Same here. My hair will float for several hours before finally sinking to the bottom - if it sinks. That makes me think low porosity. After I wash, condition, deep condition I let it air dry and it will be completely dry in under 10 minutes. That makes me think high porosity. Oh and after it’s dry, even though I’ve put products in (to me) it feels like straw. 🤷🏽♀️
Great video. I love argan oil. But I've found that my hair loves jamaican black castor oil. Thanks to your video I now know that my hair is normal porosity. I moisturize with my leave in conditioner, jamaican black castor oil and blue magic hair grease (blue magic in the morning before work and jamaican black castor oil after work)
Oh nooo 😂 Try washing your hair with a good clarifying shampoo like Kinky Curly Come clean, while your hair is still wet add in a leave-in (my fav is kinky Curly not today), then add your favorite light oil after towel drying and your hair is still damp, then add your favorite *water-based* Cream. Since it’s winter time you, can seal in everything with a heavier oil or shea/mango butter. This should get your hair super moisturized for days. If you try this and it works, let me know!! 💕💕
Hi , I was wondering when u ha your hair bleached blonde did u grow the color out or did you cut it off ? My hair is bleached blonde now I want it back it's natural color so is it possible to grow it out without all the breakage or do I have to cut it off ?my hair is short I big chopped. Thanks
Literally tried using more heat during my deep conditioning process last week and my hair felt so dry... thank you for this because now I don’t have to buy a heat cap aaaayee
Thank u so much for this video,because I had no idea what my hair porosity was,now I know and I have low Porosity hair. Now I have a better understanding and the knowledge how to deal with my hair and the correct products to use for my hair, I try the low porosity method and I see a huge different in my hair. I did the deep condition,with the apple cider vinegar and raw honey and my hair came out amazing, a huge different from what I was just using anything in my hair. So my question to you is how often should I wash my hair? because I used to cold wash all the time and seeing that I have low porosity hair and u said u shouldn't cold Wash as often or at all, when should I wash my hair and how often? Before seeing this video I would shampoo once a month to give it a good cleaning with shea moisture and cold wash once a week. So how do I transition from doing that with my low porosity hair??
I have jheir cuirls and when I wash my hair the day after I need a lot of moisture So that means I have high porosity ? Also I was thinking if I should do a big crop and start over?
AudrOwns she has a video on it, but u can take a strand or 2 and put it in a glass of water, if it sinks down to the bittom u have high porosity and if it just floats on top u have low porosity. Hope that helps
Thank you for this video sis. I'm literally growing out my hair this time around and I want to do it right this time lol.

Exceptional video, new subscriber and thank you very much!
Very good video. I had no idea.
Is olive oil ok for low porosity hair because I just bought some specifically to put in my hair.
Mika L Use canola.
Olive oil is great for low porosity because it is penetrating when used with heat
Can I deep condition my hair without using shampoo before or after?
What if you want locs?
I literally just moisturized my hair this morning, yet it feels dry. I really thought I had low porosity hair, now I'm second guessing. Help?
Mawatta Dukuly Have you done the porosity test? Let me know what types of products work for you already so I can try to help you figure this out with you! 😊😊
Nia Hope I haven't done the porosity test; my hair is quite short.
I have low porsity hair btw
How do you know if your hair likes a certain product or not?
Lakisha D I always ascribe to the idea that if my hair 1) absorbs the product, 2) FEELS soft/hydrated, 3) STAYS soft/hydrated for 24hrs+ it likes the product.
There are TONS of products I’ve tried that my hair absorbs, but then leaves it feeling dry and brittle and I know right away it’s NOT for me. So in short, I really “listen” to my hair. If a product doesn’t FEEL & LOOK GOOD in my hair, it’s not for me. I hope this helps 😊😊

Honesty White yessss!!
My hair takes forever to dry and when I put products in, it takes about 10 hours to absorb. Does this mean I have low porosity?
Hi there, I’m no expert but from my research about my own hair I hope this helps!! It sounds like you’re low porosity and seems like those products are just sitting on top of your hair!
@@scholashapata they are. It's frustrating lol
The shape of ur head 👌

Madelyn ADay After moisturizing, does your hair stay moisturized for several days or get dry fast?
Based on that it sounds like a high porosity but I'm not you so idk how true that is. Besides the whole water method another way to find out your porosity is by feeling a single strand of hair.

Cold water is your best friend lol

Can you please give an example of light creams or moisturizers for low porosity hair?

This video was so helpful. Which are you? The more I watch your videos I’m starting to realize we have the same type of hair.

Great video. I love argan oil. But I've found that my hair loves jamaican black castor oil. Thanks to your video I now know that my hair is normal porosity.

Well shit you just said don't cowash🙂🙂and I'm cowashing the hell out of my head 😔😔😔
Nesha Purplezz 😩😂 If you are cowashing and STILL experiencing dry hair, you may want to cut back. (This is assuming you have low porosity hair)
Nia Hope I cowashed yesterday and it's crispy currently (yes I do have low porosity) thanks for the video I'm out here looking stupid cowashing 😂
Oh nooo 😂 Try washing your hair with a good clarifying shampoo like Kinky Curly Come clean, while your hair is still wet add in a leave-in (my fav is kinky Curly not today), then add your favorite light oil after towel drying and your hair is still damp, then add your favorite *water-based* Cream.

How can I determine the porosity of my hair?
AudrOwns she has a video on it, but u can take a strand or 2 and put it in a glass of water, if it sinks down to the bittom u have high porosity and if it just floats on top u have low porosity. Hope that helps
