      Hi I’m a male with long wavy hair that goes below my chest it feels and looks healthy however I do notice their tends to be a lot of single hairs that don’t lock on to my “wavy locks” and they end up looking like flyaways or frizz would you know if that’s due to my hair being dry or is that normal for people like me and you that have natural curly/wavy hair your help would be much appreciated and love the video.

      Thanks for including the explanation of pH! When I've been struggling to find/replace a good conditioner I've used just shampoo then an oil instead of conditioner - never realised that could cause pH balance issues, nor that an a vinegar rinse could help temporarily balance that.

    Tip I learned from my curly hair stylist: if you see that webbing, ADD MORE WATER and a little conditioner and work that through your hair until the water is soaked in. The hair should be heavy, then rinse all the conditioner out and immediately start adding your products while soaked. This has changed my hair so much, basically I learned that conditioner is only meant to be a catalyst to allow your hair to soak in more water

There is so much chemistry going on. Since when did hair care become so difficult? I have to measure the acids, the base, the proteins, the moisture, thickness and density of my hair and the list goes on and on. I don't understand how a normal person could ever take care of their curly hair without putting in a gazillion products in their hair and praying to God that at least, something works in the end!

For the longest time I hated my curls cause I never knew how to take care of them. I ended up straightening my hair for 4 long years which led to SO MUCH heat damage to the point where my curls were basically non existent. I decided to put down the flat iron in June and change my shampoo and conditioner and I can already see the difference! I ordered my first styling product (curl cream) a few days ago and can't wait to try it and finally give my hair the moisture its been seeking for years. So glad

      @delaneydidit Рік тому

      @@khasimali9352 honestly, I’m still trying to figure it out 2 years later lol. My biggest tips are to use a silk bonnet to sleep (regardless of your hair texture) and to never to go bed without drying your hair. Air drying isn’t preferable, as the extra moisture/humidity in the air is what causes your hair to frizz up. Even if you don’t use heat tools (I rarely do), make sure your scalp is completely dry before you sleep! I like to run the blow dryer on low heat over my scalp for a few minutes after I shower and usually let the rest air dry. use a thinner oil that can penetrate your hair, (google is your best friend for this), and apply the oil AFTER using your normal detangling/leave in conditioners while it’s still wet. using it after my products seals all of the moisture in, and leaves my hair super shiny and not frizzy at all. hair porosity is basically just helping explain how each hair types maintain moisture differently. the definitions still confuse me but the main point of hair porosity is to help determine which order of product application works best for your hair. at least this is what I have come to discover in my experience

    Thanks for getting this knowledge out there. For someone who lives in a country where few people have curly hair it's a damn nightmare trying to look after my daughter's hair. We have little access to products outside of people who have straight average porosity hair. Not to mention there being no one (that I've found yet) that knows their business about curly hair though they all claim to. The last salon I took my kid to had no clue what porosity even was, so when my kid's very high porosity hair dried so quickly she freaked out. I tried to explain about her hair but she just waved me off like I was speaking gibberish (she claimed there was no such thing as sulfate free hair 0_0).

      Yours sounds similar to mine. My hair is medium porosity at the root and high porosity at the ends. I think that’s common for porosity to increase towards the end. Bleach does cause the cuticle lift though which is damaging.

    Thank you SOOOOO much for this info on "wet frizz" I have it and no one has addressed this! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
    P.S. ive used vinegar rinses but it messes with the color of my hair snd I dont see its "greatness" 😫

    Thank you ma’am!! I have been dealing with my frizzy, extra thick, knotty, curly hair for almost 58 years now. I’ve had a multitude of different hairstyles. I’ve tried a multitude of different hair products. I’ve always had them dad-gum curly-ques sticking out all over my head mainly on the top. Now, I’m not one to put my personal business out there but I’ve got a terminal illness and I’m not looking for sympathy prayers, I’ll take. I’m just saying that your videos have been very helpful and informative. I’m on a lot of medication that has damaged my already dry hair. Believe it or not I have gotten it to grow back ( THANK YOU LORD ) it is now to the top of my belt! I told my husband that I would never cut it off however it is falling out gradually.😞

      @@Handleshmandle1 do you have fine hair or coarse? Fine hair needs more protein then coarse hair does. Even if its low porosity, fine hair still needs some protein. I have coarse low porosity hair and protein is not my friend most of the time. If you do have fine hair I would incorporate a protein in your routine. Also, larger sized proteins like hydrolyzed soy, wheat etc, are better for fine hair. Keratin, and anything that says amino acids, or silk protein are smaller sized proteins that work better for coarse hair if/when it needs it. Try a moisturizing wash and condition, then use a styler with protein. Good luck!

Its weird, bc my hair seems to react to aloe vera as if its a protein, even tho it isn't. So, I made sure to first apply a good amount of (protein-free) leave-in and to also be lighter handed with the gel. That did the trick- no more flashdrying!😊💜

For two weeks after that I dealt w major wet frizz. You’re so right about the amount of info about it. Flash drying too. After a lot of research and trying that new gel a month later w great results I assumed it was too much protein (or it was the hydrolyzed oat instead of the amino acids I usually use) on my low porosity hair. Thanks for the great info. It’s nice to know I was on the right track.

    I've had some good luck reducing wet frizz by just continually adding more water while I S2C in the shower.
    ...add some product (like conditioner or a leave-in) but a lot of water...since my head is upside down, I just put it under the water for a few seconds (and squish it a bit). Then as it rinses out, get out of the water and re-add some more conditioner then more water (and more squish)...and just keep doing it several times. Sometimes I just take the conditioner and rub it on each curl clump individually (I only have a few so that only takes a minute).
    And, when I do the final step (applying my mousse), I try not to really squish it too hard, but more like pushing the ends to the top of my head - but not making a "grabbing" motion.
    It just takes practice I think, but I've had great success lately with the *keep adding more water* philosophy.
    Also, over-moisturizing can cause frizz and s2c adds a lot of moisture. Try getting a conditioner with hydrolized protein or hydrolyzed quinoa. I just bought Giovanni deep moisture conditioner; it's great! It made my hair sooo shiny :) it has just a bit of protein in it. I even use a tiny bit extra as a leave-in because it's nice and lightweight. They have leave-ins too, but I just use the one.

  • @Awdreejahslin

    Another pro tip I picked up from another UA-camr is how one drys their hair! The texture of a standard towel will take out too much moisture! Try using a plain white cotton t-shirt!

I'm gonna go for it later today and see if I can bring some life back into my hair. 😊

    Thank you for leading out there with this issue. My hair is likely (in curl type) the most like yours I've ever seen on UA-cam. I know I have various porosoties on my head. The back or crown of my hair is the driest and frizziest on my hair... also the highest porosity. It virtually looks dry under flowing water, it's soaking it up and letting go so fast it took a super slow down mode on camera to see it. It would suck up drops and let it go as fast as it sucked it up... I've never seen such a thing. Of course this has to be on MY head! The rest of my hair is normal porosity. So it's a real challenge to wash, condition and style my hair! The only cause we've been able to come up with for this is hormonal imbalance. I'm currently going through the "change" and so it's not altogether shocking it's happening but in a very obvious area of hair it's so frustrating, I have to treat the section of hair totally different than the rest of my hair, like I have two sets of hair on one head. I admit, it's hard... really hard not to have "the heck with this" days and just put it all up in a chompy for the rest of my life. I hope people will learn of this webbing and wet frizz syndrome and gain some success from your video. Again... thank you! Smiles and blessings...
