      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.

      @@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

    It has a nammmmeeeee?!? So I’ve been trimming my ends unnecessarily b/c despite not seeing split ends I always assumed it was damaged 🤦🏾‍♀️ I also bleach and dye my hair so the very ends are high porosity where as the rest is low porosity 🥴 but it still curls normally so I’m not sure if it’s damaged 🤔

    • @GenaMarie
      @GenaMarie  3 роки тому +13

      Haha yes!
      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.

      The tips I shared in the video will help. Conditioner is not left on very long and gives moisture and helps detangle. Deep conditioner is a mask or treatment that is left on for 10-30 minutes and works to deeply moisturize. You rinse off deep conditioner off too.

    I'm lost as to what products I should be using. It's not textured hair. I don't dye my hair but I do diffuse on medium heat. It's baby fine with 2b hair, 2cish when it's shoulder length. I can't figure out what my hair wants. I think it's low porosity but not sure. It never sinks in water (water test) with no hair product on the hair. Everything from Shea Moisture makes my hair feel like wax & it tangles after use. I bought some Uncle Funky's Daughter gel & my hair immediately absorbed it all after squishing it in as if it's not there, even though it's super thick & snotty when I apply it. The same happens when I use the Bioterra gel from Sally's. Kinky Curly & Moptop custard felt gooey in my hair & I only used a dime sized amount on shoulder length hair. The Curl Talk mousse makes my hair so soft it doesn't hold the curl but it does make it look really healthy. Curlsmith made my hair super hard & dry, so does the Giovanni products. Any suggestions on what my hair type might be? I've also tried the Moptop conditioner & it doesn't do anything at alllll. The GVC conditioner made my hair limp & stringy but had some shine. At the moment I'm trying out the Sun Bum Revitalizing conditioner & it's the only thing that makes my hair feel silky when rinsing out atm. Might be because I'm in Maine right now too. I'm from Virginia so I'm used to a humid climate. Hoping to move back there this summer. Too cold here, lol. Sorry for writing a book on here, lol. I'm trying so hard not to go back to silicones but my hair has become so damaged since going cgm.

Anyway, I have very fine, thin 2b hair. I used to have a lot of hair, but it was straight. Thyroid issues and perimenopause brought the wavy hair like my mom and brother....unfortunately it has thinned out and gets frizzy and stringy. What have you found works for your gray hair?

    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

    This video was so helpful! I've had 'wet frizz' for as long as I can remember and I never knew there could be any solutions to it! 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

      @@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!

    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.

    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).

      I thought my hair was wavy weird until I started caring for it like curly hair.
      I wonder how curly it is now, a year later.

    I used a shea moisture rejuvenation mask to try and get moisture and it actually caused my hair to be worse than ever and caused a ton of wet frizz. Why did this happen?

    I've come to the realization that many hair UA-camrs don't understand the difference from high and low porosity. My hair was suffering because I was suffering under all the confusing lingo that is applicable to both porosities but I felt I resonated with the high end of it. This video (and a little common sense 😂) further validated my suspicions with the frizz, knots and the external look of my hair. Thank you Gena!

    I'd love a video on light weight easily absorbable moisture specifically ingredients to look for. I have low to medium porosity, fine hair low density and this is a struggle I've been having. I don't know what ingredients to look for. Even products recommendations would be good
