Thank you for this info! I have been struggling with oily buildup for a long time. What product(s) did they recommend? I think we have a similar hair type, but my hair sure doesn't look like yours. Love your scientific approach!
Swavy Curly Courtney I’m sad to read that they’re not accepting new candidates at this time.
You should do a wash day with only products they recommend!
daria baranoff ooooooo I love love love this idea!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Yes, great idea!
Yes agree that would be a fun video and interesting
Yes
YES Courtney that would be so great to see if their recommendations really make a difference!
Yes! Porosity isn't enough! You have to overlap porosity, density (if you have tons of hair or very little), fine vs coarse strands, AND your curl level (wavy to very tight curls). The ways these four things interact is what truly gives you a picture of YOUR hair, the products and techniques it will like, etc. 🙌
I already knew you have low porosity hair, because your hair is super super shiny compared to my high porosity hair 🤣
Buahaha I’m glad you had it figured out!
This is SO helpful Courtney! Thank you for breaking it down for us!
you literally scared the crap out of me at 9:48 lol
jill kaarlela hehe so so sorry. The dang voice over didn’t upload synced properly.
Same! And again at 17:12 😂😂 sounds like somebody is in your room with you
I thought an Alexa device was talking! Me me jump!
This is awesome. I have been struggling so much determining ALL things about my hair. Especially porosity.
I can’t wait to try it. AGAIN, Thank you so much. You have no idea how helpful you have been to me!!!❤️
I love that you talk about the science of how and why things work, I find that so helpful!
Super super fascinating!! I totally want to find out more about my hair, too, because it has a lot of the same unclear/inconsistent results from regular home tests. Thanks for this!
Fascinating!! I can’t wait to give this a try! Thanks for sharing your experience, Courtney
Thank you so much for all the love!
Wow! Thank you for sharing this information with us! It has been very helpful!
Thank you! I always struggled to really understand my hair, but I just can't figure it out. This is such a great option to getting to know your hair! I just ordered my hair analysis and can't wait for the results 😊
Your hair looks so good in this video!!
This is so awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Many people have more then 1 type of porosity in their hair... For example, my top hair is a high porosity. However, the hair I had shaved off (undercut), that hair is more of low porosity.
Yup. Embrace Natural Beauty used to speak a lot about how different sections of her hair had wildly different porosities.
Most people's hair has many different types of porosity and curl pattern in different sections.
Mine has different porosity and different curl type in different sections as well.
Jessica Pape same exact thing happened to me!! My undercut is now grown out (about 8 inches long) and the rest of my hair is very long. My undercut portion is very coarse and low porosity. The rest of my hair is fine to normal, and medium to high porosity. It’s quite annoying when trying to moisturize the bottom without over moisturizing the top!!
You've convinced me! I just ordered my test & am so excited to get my results!! Thanks for the $5 off code!
Thank you so much for all this information and explaning everything. I struggle with productbuild up very easily and i have fine hair aswell. I would love to hear the exact product recommendations they gave you!
Stay healthy ♥✌🏻
... And which technique they recommend. Wet or damp styling?😊
... And my hair behaves the best when i clarify and use the Mielle Organics Babassu Oil Mint Deep Conditioner
I'd love to see a video where you follow all the analysis recommendations.
This is suuuuuuch a COOL video!!! As a new wavy/curly, my absolute favorite part is all the LEARNING I get to do, finding out what works but WHY and HOW. Thank you for this! Now, to decide if I should get to know my hair on my own for a while before getting in contact with these folks, or just having them set me straight (so to speak) now... Hehe.
I’m gonna order my analysis today.....can’t wait to get the results! Thank you for sharing!
This explains why all of your product and styling recommendations work perfectly for me! I have high density, baby fine, low porosity 2a-3a waves! I find all of your videos so useful:)
Courtney! Can’t wait to see how this changes the products you use! And new products you recommend for you hair type! 😊
Definitely keep us updated on your new routine! Between spring and a recent gloss treatment on my hair (supposed to help flatten the cuticle) I’m having a hard time trying to figure out my routine because a bunch of stuff that used to work for me isn’t working anymore.
Courtney, you are SO CUTE! And you're having such an awesome hair day! Amazing volume and definition. Thanks for another awesome video! You're the best
This actually helps me out a lot because I have very similar characteristics to both you and your sister's hair and it confused me because my hair both squeaked but took a long time to wet in the shower (my strands are thick). I also have to be very careful about using polyquats because it builds up instantly in my hair, making it look super greasy! I avoid polyquats in all my products! I also kept seeing UA-camrs putting globs and globs of product into their hair and my hair is about as long as yours and can only handle a pea-sized amount! And when you recommended the Curls Blueberry Bliss leave-in and Biosilk Gelee... I thought my hair hated protein, but there are silk amino acids in them and my hair absolutely loved the combo! EVERYTHING NOW MAKES SENSE!!! I really would like to get this test done for both me and my mom because there might be other things unique to my hair, but also I think my mom's hair is high porosity because she always struggles with how dry it is and I really don't know how to help her keep her moisture!
So what porosity do you think you have? You didn't say
Manes by Mell explains that porosity is about whether hair is damaged and how much. You've been showing so much love to your hair for so long now, of course it's low porosity. Neither of the "tests" you mention reliably gives accurate results.
Hight porosity can also be genetic that is just how your hair is
@@kikima258 Exactly. My hair is extremely healthy and 100% virgin, but still pretty high porosity. I rarely disagree with Mell, but I have to on this one.
@@Katatawnic we should look for general guidance and tips from hair experets but keep in mind that by the end of the day no one is gonna know our hair better than us and we should do wathever works for it
I thought the same thing when I started watching this! Thanks for bringing it up.
Princess Pea I recall Mell mentioning that high porosity hair can also be genetic and that natural curly hairs have a tendency to be higher porosity. Where your hair strand starts to curl, there will usually be a break in the cuticle layer. Makes sense to me.
I *always* come away from your videos having learned something, this time even more so. I think I'm going to save up to get a hair analysis of my own done. I think it would definitely be worth it. (If only, to stop spending money on products that do not work for me.) Thank you *so* much for sharing your results and how the whole process works. I know my hair is wavy, I just cannot figure out what I do to get the waves into shape. I'm also having a problem with some slight hair loss right now, so maybe they could help with that too.
This video helped my diagnose the 'weirdness' (all hair is weird though) going on with my friend's hair. Thank you so much!
I have low porosity, coarse strands and it takes literal days for my hair to dry, and I have to squeeze it to get the water in, so I never realised that a person with fine hair might have a different experience. That's so awesome. Thanks again for posting.
I'm just wondering.... How does squeezing the hair help get the moisture in? Is that what people mean when they say "squish to condish"? This is all still semi new to me
Thanks for all the videos and help with my hair, Courtney! I got a new haircut weeks ago and started trying to see if my curly hair of childhood is still there! Thankfully, I found your videos and liked your approach to science and having fun with it before this pandemic hit us! Now i'm using it as a coping mechanism to the constant fear from all the news reports about the virus all over the place! This, at least, is a place where I can focus on something completely unrelated and maybe come out with gorgeous hair afterwards!
I was waiting for this video! I had a feeling from your teaser that you actually have low porosity hair. That means we are basically hair twins, which explains why your videos are so helpful to me.
Thanks for the run down of your report. You definitely hooked me. I’ll order it after next pay day. :😁
I loved it
This was super helpful and informative. Thank you!
Thanks for this video! I just bought the kit and I am excited to see what my results are
This was super cool. I'm excited to see how your wash routine will be affected.
So glad to have found this video, my hair is so confusing and I've spent so much on products I can't use, ordering mine today 😊
Thank you so much for this and for all you do!! You are a light in this world! I may have an analysis done before I schedule my first curl coaching session with you.. I'm growing out a pixie so my hair is very short and very low density. I'm a mess!!! You're the greatest!
Can't wait as I just ordered my envelope for me to send my hair and get it analyzed!!!
Krista Bunnett which one did you order? Not sure if the foundational analysis is good enough. I’d like recommendations not just the description of my hair.
Courtney, I’ve been watching you for a long time and every time you said your porosity I kept wondering how. Your hair is so shiny I couldn’t connect that dot. I’m gonna check out this analysis. Since going gray I feel like this could be an awesome way to learn more methods for my hair type. Thanks for the video.
This is so fascinating. I swear we have the same hair. I have very fine wavy hair. And I’m like 99% sure it’s low porosity. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Wow, I was wondering all of those things about hair porosity. I am seeing the same things you saw when trying to figure out your porosity but I really feel mine is low. Can't wait to try this for me & my daughter, thanks for sharing!
I can't afford a hair analysis right now. But my hair is so much like yours, seeing what products you use now that you know it's low porosity will be so helpful!
Hello! A curly fan from Scotland here.
Thank you so much for your lovely videos.
Xx
Hi from Texas!!! Hugs!
Mind BLOWN.... Thank you for sharing.
omg i have to try this!
Isabella Demarko girl you so should!!! It was so eye opening!!! Gotta love hair science! Lol
Courtney! Would love a video about dry shampoo and wavy hair!!
thank you now i finally understand why my fine hair breaks so fast but love protein and very quickly over hydrated. Thank you!
Maybe that I will also have my hair analyzed. but it's a bit more difficult for people outside of america
Thanks, just ordered mine! Very intrigued... I get build-up super easily too
OMG This video is jam packed with information. We all need degrees in science to choose products for our hair type (or a recomendation from mymanebio. But wow, is it ever interesting. I will be rewatching it several times to digest the content. I knew there was a reason your hair is so shiny and it wasn't all product choice. My lovely granddaughter has stick streight hair but is it ever shiny. I have only slightly wavey hair but have been caring for it like it was curly. The pay-off has been super shiny hair that helps give me a more youthful look.
That is fascinating! From all this I feel like my hair is completely different than yours, the only thing we seem to have in common is the wave pattern!
I'll have to look into this in the future!
Super fine hair will almost always trick those home porosity tests. And i would actually theorize that your hair used to be higher porosity because of the old damage you had on the mids/ends, but that your regrowth is much lower porosity since you're being so gentle with it now. Having 2 different porosities can also cause flash drying in the roots and mids like you sometimes get.
This is so cool i love the sience part 🤩🤩 i Think i also might have low porosity hair. My hair densitiy and thickness is Medium. It feels so dry at Times but a lot of products just sit on it and have no nourishing effect. Also it takes a while to get wet and IT TAKES FOREVERRRRR to dry since i was a kid.
And i almost always use sulfates in my shampoo
Holy something! That helped me a lot! Thank you so much. I live I Copenhagen with hard water. I have shiny hair but I feels dull. And the cold water at the end of the wash helped. Cold water doesn't contain as much calcium as warm water. But I felt like I needed protein and had no idea why. Now I know. Thank you so so much for your advice and all the science. I love it.
Finally someone who also mentions that cold water can be beneficial due to lower limescale deposit! This makes more sense to me than "closing the cuticles"
So interesting. Just goes to show that there's a lot more to hair than just porosity! My hair needs sulfates to keep it from being weighed down by styling products. Gasp! I went through a bad period with limp curls, and after watching Dr. Dray's video began to wonder if my sulfate free shampoo was the culprit. After the first wash with my husband's Dove shampoo, the difference was amazing. And I'm someone who periodically clarified with the Suave.
I haven't done a hair analysis (and can't afford one right now, even with your coupon code!), but a lot of what you're saying for yours fits mine, too. I've got very fine hair, healthy and untreated virgin hair, but it, yes, soaks up water quickly in the shower. I couldn't figure out HOW it could be higher-porosity when I wasn't doing anything to damage it other than getting it wet!
Mines definitely low porosity. It takes like five hours to air-dry.
This was sooo interesting, I watched it as if it was my hair analysis! I think my hair might be on the lower porosity side too. It's also fine and gets buildup very easily, and it's quite shiny, especially the lower layers (the top part not so much, probably because I'm only 8 months cg and it's still recovering). Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information! I always thought you had low porosity hair😜
This is very helpful. I might even get this test
Awesome! Let me know how it goes here!
I ordered mine. I had no idea this existed I'm so excited.
So informative, thank you
I would love to try this 🙌💕
Thank you I was really struggling with the cost of this test and if it was really worth it. Now I get $5.00 off and can quit wasting money on products that aren't right for my hair
This is so cool!!!
What products did they recommend/not recommend for you?
very interesting. Thinking maybe my fine hair also might be lower porosity than I thought. Wonder if I can find a similar hair test in Aust?
I just got my results today... We're hair twins! Low porosity hair across the board with just a bit of medium porosity at the ends. Only difference is that I'm 60% medium and 40% fine hair. Gonna be watching your channel even more intensely now to see what works for you because it seems like if it does for you it'll have a better chance of working for me!
This was super interesting. I’m only a month or so in to embracing my short, fine, low density 2A-C and 3B curls. Based on your experience with the test, do you feel it would help with guidance on getting volume and definition at the same time? Love your gorgeous curls!
Well, that's pretty eye-opening and kind of a game-changer for me. I have had no idea of what my porosity could be except that my hair soaks up water fast but takes forever to dry. I didn't realize that the texture of my hair could effect how I determined my porosity. I could only guess that I had higher porosity hair based on its behavior, but maybe since my hair is really fine it's lower porosity? It would explain why my hair hates heavier butters and oils. I wonder if the test would explain why my hair loves protein but hates aloe (which seems to act like a protein for some people).
Amazing discoveries!
Your hair in this video looks amazing
You also have a healthy cuticle from all the good care youve been taking. It opens and closes as it should. I noticed this with my hair vs my friend's hair. Our hair soaks at the same rate but my hair stops dripping fast while her hair keeps dripping and releasing water.
Great video for all the reasons mentioned already! Just one question: Did they say anything about low porosity and how quickly or longer your hair dries!? I mention this because my hair gets wet easily (even if I am working out). However, it dries differently, taking longer (hours) on the center. It will be also interesting to know which shampoos/sulfate they recommended for clarifying and for hard water. X Thank you again, this video let me to forget a little bit everything that is going on!
Not hair related, though I always love your hair, but your makeup looks awesome! I want a tutorial on how you did your eyes :)
So funny! My hair is low porosity (I never really heat styled it, just dyed it now and again) and practically every product you recommended, my hair loved. I was wondering about that...! 😆
YES!!!!! I love you!!!
Looks like I'll be getting this done.
I know this is totally off topic but your hair is really pretty in this video!!
Wow this is the most helpful hair video I’ve ever watched. I was always confused why you would have high porosity hair since it was so healthy and shiny. My hair is also low porosity and fine, difference being my natural oil production. Now that I’ve realized I actually need to add oil to my hair, it’s more able to handle occasional protein. I would love to hear some recommendations for products/conditioners with amino acids. Thank you!
Mielle Babassu and MInt Deep Conditioner has amino acids
Amoura Latif Thank you! I actually just bought that and I love it! Working on finding a conditioner and styling products now.
Welcome to the club! ;)
Wow! That is very interesting! So what products did they recommend for your hair?
Now that we know hard vs soft water can affect the squeak test...I wonder if it would have a different result doing the hair in a cup of water test with your sisters water?!
I found the information that you are supposed to soften the water before doing this test.... hard water would affect the results.
THIS is so COOL!!!!! I am super sciency too & I LOVE it, I am so gonna do this! It's $89 & No doubt it's worth it!
I did this at the beginning of the year. It was totally helpful and has saved me so much money in buying products that won’t work. Well worth the investment!
Have you ever tried a scalp scrub before for oil buildup? I can genuinely feel the difference after I use one. When I clarify, I use the Not Your Mother's Naturals Black Charcoal and Moonstone line with the scalp scrub.
I hope you can share more about what types of protein are recommended for low porosity hair like yours. I've used all the ones you have shared: Gelatin mask, neutral protein filler, rice water etc. Wondering which ones are amino based. I have fine hair for sure and it's fairly shiny but the need for almost constant protein is real. When my balance of moisture to protein goes wrong my curls almost go away and my hair gets mostly wavy/straight with curls on just the last 4 inches. That 's always a sad wash day.
My hair floated for 2 weeks. I just ordered the strands kit to get a better idea of what my hair really is and needs.
Lol, just finished watching the video. Ok, makes more sense now! I thought you just sent 1 strand. I will now find 40 different hair strands then. Cool!
I want to do this so bad!! It’s just so expensive. I would definitely need to save up for it.
Courtney I would love to learn more about hair care and hard water! I have hard water and am only about a month in to my curly hair journey. A water softener is something I may install at home in a few years, will it help? What products or treatments are good for hard water?
I have fine to medium, low porosity hair. It gets wet fast, but I can literally see the water bead up on it sometimes. I washed my friends niece's hair recently. She has a ton of coarse, low porosity hair and it took a good while for her hair to get wet. I felt like i was running it under water forever before I gave up and put shampoo in it. I left the conditioner in extra long to make up for the thick tight cuticle and her hair turned out so beautiful. I wish i could wash and style it for her all the time.
This is exactly what my hair looks like after using the Shea moisture coconut and hibiscus line. My hair doesn't seem to do well with heavy products despite it being pretty thick. Wonder if my hair might be low porosity too 🤔
Lol really? I can put so much product on my hair
I have some natural color hairs and some aged gray hairs, and my gray hairs are way more coarse that my natural colored ones. I wonder if the porosity is different, too.🤔
Also, assuming we can get out to go to the beach and pool this summer, videos on how to take care of your hair after you've been in saltwater and chlorine would be good!
Yes yes yes! I would love videos on this!
This is super cool! I love your chanel but never tried the products that you use because my hair is low porosity and I thought we had opposite hair types. Do you think the products that you use would work on someone with low porosity but thicker/coarser hair?
I think my hair might be similar to yours. We have a similar natural color, somewhat similar wave type though mine seems to be more S waves, possibly slightly less fine strands? though hard to say. I'm pretty sure my natural hair is also low porosity since it pretty much never tangles and is so silky it will slip out of claw clips and water droplets just sit on it forever. Alas, I'm growing out bleached hair but already have half natural and cut off the worst of it which seems you did also! For a long time I did mainly long hair care methods and had TB length hair but was never getting the results for my waves I wanted. After the cut I did a few days ago it is now similar length to yours to remove the majority of the highlights. My partner is also growing out his hair which is now at his shoulders and he has 3A-3B hair so we are both on our curly/wavy girl/boy journeys haha. The wavy hair is truly more fickle though versatile.
I found it interesting that you mentioned the issue with sulfates. If I try to CO wash or use most curly girl friendly shampoos I definitely get oily buildup on the scalp. That went away when I bleached my hair awhile ago so makes sense. I'm curious what your updated go to product list is and if there are good scent free options. I currently just do bedhead curl defining cream and the regular devacurl gel. No protein treatments etc. It is hard to pick products partly because I get severe migraines and hives from some artificial scents (hard to predict from online reviews so I usually try to go scent free).
Hi Courtney! Love your channel! I seem to remember you talking about a website that helps you learn more about the products in shampoos and what they are used for. I've watched so many of your videos I can't remember which one it was in. Help!
Curlsbot.com is good. I always use isitcg.co.uk because it breaks down the ingredients list and tells you what each ingredient is for! Good starting point until you find the one you’re looking for! X
Could you please make a video on how you fix your cowlick? If you've already made a video about it I'm sorry, I couldn't find it. I can't find any other videos from other people explaining how to fix it without using a flat iron or blow dryer. Thank you. :)
Wow, that is soo interesting!! I need to have my hair checked too.. maybe it's not high porosity at all, because somehow it never made sense to me!! Thank you so much, Courtney, for this video. You are such a bright light! Lots of love from Ireland xx
LOL, the exact same thing happened to me! I just got back the results and even though I thought I had very high porosity hair, I actually have naturally low porosity hair! My hair is medium density and normal to coarse in width and I've been doing the CG method for a year. I also switched from permanent hair dye (20 years applying it monthly) to henna about 6 months ago, which has made a huge difference in the health of my hair. I have medium to low porosity mid-shaft and high porosity ends, so once I get rid of those, I guess I'll also get rid of my products for high porosity hair...
My hair is medullated and quite coarse, so I never noticed that I also had some build up. I guess I need to start clarifying more often and choose lighter products from now on. Oh, and my hair type is 2C (in the canopy) to 3A (around the face and underneath). Anyway, I'll be following you even more closely now that I know that we have the same porosity. Love your videos and your down to earth personality! Hugs Laura from Spain ^_^
